15x49 - Unova's Survival Crisis!

Post by bunniefuu »

NARRATOR After extensive planning


Team Rocket has lifted the Undersea Temple


to the surface along with the captured Meloetta


and using a recording of Meloetta's song


it appears they have succeeded in obtaining


the legendary Reveal Glass.


Just what is the secret of the Reveal Glass?


And how does Team Rocket plan to take over the Unova region


with Operation Tempest?

ASH "Unova's Survival Crisis!"


Argh!


Hm.


Now what?


[SHIELDING]


[gasps]


[CONFUSED]


Reveal Glass, summon the three powers now!


[PAINED]


[SCREAMING]


Meloetta! [DESPERATE]


DR. ZAGER Giovanni is controlling


the Reveal Glass by force of will!


Excellent, the Boss has made


the power of the ancients his very own!


The time has finally come


to fully reveal the details of Operation Tempest!


[chuckles] Using the power of the ancients


Team Rocket will bring the entire Unova region


'to its knees!'


[groaning]


Ridley!


Meloetta's suffering! I feel it!


Huh? [PAINED]


ASH 'Meloetta!'


Meloetta, you've gotta snap out of it!


PIKACHU [PLEADING]


Ah!


- What's that? - Huh?


A beam of light piercing the sky.


Meloetta's definitely at the temple!


The temple?


Obviously Team Rocket wants something


from Meloetta, but what?


The truth is, Team Rocket's not really after Meloetta.


'They're after the legendary Pokémon '


'summoned by that beam of light!'


IRIS 'Legendary Pokémon?'


Yes. Whoever controls Meloetta also controls a great power.


There have been countless attempts to capture Meloetta


and that great power since ancient times.


What power do you mean?


The Reveal Glass inside the temple.


[both gasp]


RIDLEY Only Meloetta can activate


the Reveal Glass' power.


Whoever possesses the Reveal Glass


also possesses the power to control the forces of nature.


CILAN Forces of nature?


RIDLEY For generations,the only one


who commanded that power


was the chief protector of the people


who lived alongside Meloetta.


However, many evildoers fought endless battles


in an attempt to obtain that power.


When Meloetta realized it was the reason for these battles


it sank the temple deep under the sea


and disappeared from history along with my ancestors.


The immense power of the Reveal Glass cannot be unlocked


without Meloetta's song.


- Is that the song we heard? - I think you're right.


[AMAZED]


- Take a look up ahead! - Huh?


- 'Is that..' - 'The temple!'


They're here.


Everyone, please hang on!


TORNADUS [ROARING]


THUNDURUS [ROARING]


LANDORUS [ROARING]


- What are those? - The Legendary Pokémon!


[EMERGING]


Tornadus! Whoa!


[chuckles]


[EMERGING]


And that's Thundurus!


Then the third Pokémon..


[EMERGING]


CILAN ...is Landorus!


IRIS They seem different than before!


I'm scared.


'These are the fearsome forces of nature'



'summoned by the Reveal Glass!'


GIOVANNI 'Welcome, Tornadus,


Thundurus and Landorus!'


Alright, Reveal Glass


I want you to show us their other form!


Huh!


Pikachu, let's try one more time!


Use Iron Tail and break us out of this thing fast!


[AFFIRMATIVE] [IRON TAIL MOVE]


[RECOVERING]/[DETERMINED]


[IRON TAIL MOVE]


Focus your attack on one spot!


[all gasp]


[IRON TAIL MOVE]


Meloetta!


[CALLING]


Stop them.


- Now, Woobat, use Air Slash! - Now, Yamask, use Shadow Ball!


WOOBAT/YAMASK [EMERGING]


[AIR SLASH MOVE]/ [SHADOW BALL MOVE]


[screaming]


Thanks, Golurk!


[GRATEFUL]


GOLURK [FRIENDLY]


RIDLEY Good job, Golurk!


- Ash! Pikachu! - Are you alright?


We're fine, but Meloetta's in trouble!


- 'Meloetta's up there, right?' - 'Yeah!'


Team Rocket wants to take over Unova


using the three Legendary Pokémon.


People have been trying to do that forever.


We've gotta stop them from doing that no matter what!


We must stop Landorus and the other two!


Let's go, Garchomp!


[EMERGING]


Dragonite! Let's help them out!


[EMERGING]/[ANGRY]


Hey! Dragonite, wait!


Alright, Pansage!


[EMERGING]


Golurk, let's go!


[DETERMINED]


Okay! Unfezant, I choose you!


[EMERGING]


You go too! Okay, buddy?


[AGREEMENT]


[LIFTING]/[FLYING]


Ash, we need you to go and rescue Meloetta!


Right!


[ROARING] [ANGRY]


[ROARING] [ANGRY]


Reveal Glass!


[WINCING]


Hang in there, everyone!


[laughing]


[PAINED]


- Ugh! - Ridley!


Meloetta.


Now, it's time to show your other form!


Here we go.


[ROARING]


[ROARING]


[ROARING]


Wow! They all changed form.


[screaming]


[all screaming]


And now Operation Tempest in its final phase.


Listen to me, Legendary Pokémon.


You are my servants and now is the time


to use your powers of wind, thunder and land!


[SCREAMING]


- Agh! - Oh, no, Ridley!


You can't give up, Meloetta! Ugh!


IRIS/CILAN/CYNTHIA Huh! Ridley!


[DETERMINED]


GOLURK/GARCHOMP/UNFEZANT [DETERMINED]

Let's go, Pikachu!


[AGREEMENT] Unfezant!


[DETERMINED]


Are you okay, Dragonite?


[ANGRY]


Don't worry. I'm fine.


I was going to protect you


but Pikachu protected me instead.


They tried hard


but they couldn't take you down, could they?


Now, let's give it everything we've got


'or else Team Rocket will take over Unova!'


'We can't let that happen, right?'


[AGREEMENT]


And the next time you're in trouble


I promise I'll protect you.


[STUBBORN]


Yeah! You're the best, Dragonite!


[SHOWING OFF]

[panting]


[EXERTION]


Please, stay calm!


We're doing everything we can to get to the bottom of this!


What is going on?


Their power is frightening.


That's precisely why people have fought for it


since ancient times.


DR. ZAGER A power that can create


an endless wave of natural disasters!


[ANGRY]


Why don't they give up?


[panting]


Team Rocket! [FURIOUS]


- Dumb Twerp! - That's as far as you go!


Unova will be ours and you can't stop us!


No way!


[THREATENING]


You really think you can stop us?


[AGGRESSIVE]


[AGGRESSIVE]


Huh? Meloetta's coming with me!


Like that's ever going to happen.


In your dreams! Meloetta's vital to executing our brilliant plan!


YAMASK/WOOBAT [AGREEMENT]


Now, Pikachu, Electro Ball!


[ELECTRO BALL]


Pikachu?


That thing's humongous!


[ELECTRO BALL]


Argh! Go!


[ELECTRO BALL MOVE]


[screaming]


Unfezant, get Meloetta!


[AFFIRMATIVE]


[expl*si*n]


[all groaning]


[RELIEVED]


You were great! [HAPPY]


Where's Meloetta?


UNFEZANT/MELOETTA [CALLING]


Wow, there you are!


[HAPPY]



Unfezant, you were awesome!


[PLEASED] Don't worry, Meloetta.


You're safe now. [HAPPY]


- Meloetta escaped. - We gotta get it back.


- No. - Huh?


I no longer need Meloetta!


[all gasps]


Giovanni, that mark on your head.


- You're alright! - Meloetta!


Meloetta's just fine.


- Thanks so much, Ash! - But this isn't over just yet.


[PAINED]


[evil laughter]


I feel wonderful and I live for destruction!


[ROARING]


- Destruction? No! - That's wrong!


Our goal is to conquer.


Okay, what's going on with the Boss, doc?


I have no idea.


None of this was reflected in the data.


Now destroy all of Unova!


And no one can stop me!


Losing Meloetta might very well be responsible for this.


- Meloetta? - 'That's right!'


JESSIE/JAMES/DR. ZAGER Huh?


The three Legendary Pokémon


possess the enormous power of nature


but Meloetta acts as a balance to maintain


the sanity of whoever summons them.


However, now that Meloetta is gone


he has been completely consumed by his own evil ambitions


and his goal has now turned to destruction and chaos.


Hmm.


[FL*SH CANNON MOVE] [ICE BEAM MOVE]


[DRAGON RUSH MOVE]


That's not gonna happen!


Come on, we have to save the Boss!


Right!


JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Save the Boss!


[all groaning]


Giovanni!


What happened, Zager?


Now that we have lost Meloetta


we can no longer control the Legendary Pokémon.


I'm afraid we have no choice but to retreat.


Hm. Alright, retreat.


JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Yes, sir!


Wait! Where are you going?


Yamask, Haze, let's go!


[HAZE MOVE]


Unfezant, Gust!


[GUST MOVE]


[panting] Oh!


There's no doubt that is one special Pikachu.


Yes.


[PAINED]


[DODGING]


[HYPER BEAM MOVE]


[DODGING]


[ENRAGED]


[b*llet SEED MOVE] [ATTACK]


[PAINED]


We have to calm down Landorus and the others.


MELOETTA [AFFIRMATIVE]


Please grant me my wish, Reveal Glass.


Calm down the rage that threatens Unova.


[SINGING]


[GROWLING]


[CURIOUS]/[CONFUSED]


GOLURK/PANSAGE [CONFUSED]


MELOETTA [SINGING]


[all gasping]


They changed form.


[AMAZED]


[SINGING]


Hm. To think my actions almost caused my own end.


Alright, head back to Kanto


and Team Rocket Headquarters at once.


JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH 'Yes, sir!'


I can't believe even Team Rocket was planning


to do something that bad.


'It seems conflict will never stop.'


'Makes me wonder if people's hearts have changed at all'


'since ancient times.'


But there are people who fight for the good, too.


Not everybody possesses the desire for conflict


and the conquering of others.


I'm sure someday people will be able to listen


to Meloetta's song and live in peace.


MELOETTA [ELATED]


[laughter]


[SOBBING]


PIKACHU/AXEW [CONSOLING]/[COMFORTING]


Because of all you've done


we can now go back home and live in peace. Thanks.


[GRATEFUL] [SOBBING UNCONTROLLABLY]


[CONSOLING] Goodbye, Meloetta.


Please, give our best to the Protectors.


Take care of yourself, Meloetta.


MELOETTA [FRIENDLY]



I'll never forget all the amazing times we had together.


[LOVING]


You too, huh?


I'm gonna win the Unova League.


Will you cheer me on?


[AFFIRMATIVE]


[ROCKET ENGINE MOVE]


[SALUTATION]


Okay, see you.


[WAILING]


[SALUTATION]


NARRATOR Thanks to our heroes


Team Rocket's plans have been thwarted


and Meloetta is returning home safely


adding another chapter to the relationships


between people and Pokémon.


And so, with another adventure sealed in memories forever


our heroes' journey continues.
