16x11 - A Unova League Evolution!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR As the Unova League sizzles


along at a frenzy pace


an intense battle between Ash and Cameron proves


that neither Trainer is about to give an inch.


Now, Ash is left with Snivy and Pikachu


while Cameron has his last Pokémon, Lucario


newly evolved from Riolu.


[EVOLVING]


[PROUD]


POKEDEX Lucario, the Aura Pokémon.


Lucario has the power to detect their opponents' thoughts


and actions by reading their aura.


Alright! Way to go!


Good work, Riolu.


No, I mean Lucario!


It's so awesome that you evolved!


What a shocker!


I doubt that anyone could've expected..


'...Riolu evolving into Lucario'


'and the battle anticipation iso verwhelming!'


ASH 'Wow! Lucario!'


Things are getting more and more intense!


Okay, Snivy, stay focused!


Let's do it! [EXERTION]


♪ It's the next chapter the ultimate goal ♪


♪ Ready for battle brave and bold ♪


♪ I know we're gonna make it


♪ We will find a way


♪ Oh-oh


♪ We've come so far


♪ We fought so hard to get where we are ♪


♪ Oh-oh


♪ We belong together


♪ It's always you and me


♪ Pokémon ♪


ASH "A Unova League Evolution!"


[DETERMINED]


Snivy! Use Leaf Blade, now!


[LEAF BLADE MOVE]


LUCARIO [PAINED]


Lucario! Force Palm.


[FORCE PALM MOVE]


Oh!


[PAINED]


[WEAK]


- Huh! - Wow! What power!


Lucario's Force Palm was stronger than Riolu's!


Yeah, that's a whole new level of strength.


Must be because it evolved.


I'm sure Lucario's other moves are more powerful as well.


Just how Ash responds to this turn of events


should really spice up an already spicy battle!


Ash and Snivy! Good luck!


Snivy, Vine Whip, go!


[VINE WHIP MOVE]


[grunts] Block it! Stay on guard!


[EXERTION]


Good! Keep up the attack!


[VINE WHIP MOVE]


CAMERON 'That's just like Ash


to launch head-on attacks!'


But now, it's our turn!


Lucario, Circle Throw!


[CIRCLE THROW MOVE]


SNIVY [PANICKED]


[gasping]


Snivy, no!


[WORRIED] [crowd cheering]


Snivy, get up! I know you can do it!


[ENCOURAGING]


That's the way.


FREDDY 'Snivy's back up!'


'But how much damage has it taken?'


'Will Snivy be able to continue?'


Okay, Lucario, stop Snivy now


by showing some of that new power!


Use Aura Sphere!


- Oh, no. - What did he say?


- Ah! - Lucario learned Aura Sphere?


Do it!


[AURA SPHERE MOVE]


[expl*si*n] [PAINED]


[WEAK]


Snivy, no!


JUDGE 'Snivy is unable to battle!'


'Lucario's the winner!'


FREDDY 'Lucario scores!'


'Snivy's been stopped in it's tracks'


'by Lucario's Aura Sphere.'


What a shock.


I didn't think Lucario


would be able to use Aura Sphere.


I'm afraid Lucario's just too powerful for Ash to deal with.


He's in a whole lot of trouble.


Or not! Both Ash and Cameron have one Pokémon left.


So it's even.


[AGREEMENT]


Well, we'll just have to see about that.


Snivy, you were great.


Take a good rest.



Okay, Pikachu, you're up.


[DETERMINED]/[EXERTION]


Since Pikachu hasn't completely recovered yet


I'm not so sure we can expect


very potent, powerful or pungent moves!


I think you're right!


After all, Pikachu's already battled Swanna and Samurott.


And that battle with Samurott was a tough one!


Pikachu went through a lot!


I'm sure Ash would prefer to give Pikachu more rest.


It's okay.


Ash and Pikachu have been in situations like this before.


They'll win.


Pikachu, let's go!


FREDDY 'Who will advance


to the semi-finals..'


'Ash or Cameron?'


Pikachu, use Quick Attack!


[QUICK ATTACK MOVE]


FREDDY 'Once again, Ash strikes first!'


One more time!


[QUICK ATTACK MOVE]


LUCARIO [PANICKED]/[PAINED]


And again!


[QUICK ATTACK MOVE]


LUCARIO [PAINED]


[STRUGGLING]


- Lucario! - So, Ash is using Quick Attack


to try to wrap this up.


I wonder if it will work.


Finish it up with Iron Tail!


Slide and dodge!


[IRON TAIL MOVE]


LUCARIO [EXERTION]


- What a quick dodge! - Huh!


Lucario, jump up!


[EXERTION]


Look, Pikachu, above you!


[PANICKED]/[EXERTION]


Alright! Use Force Palm!


[EXERTION]


PIKACHU [PANICKED]


[FORCE PALM MOVE]


[PAINED]


Ah! Pikachu, no!


LUCARIO [EXERTION]


Use Aura Sphere!


[AURA SPHERE MOVE]


Electro Ball, let's go!


[ELECTRO BALL MOVE]


[PAINED]


Lucario, no!


[PAINED]


Pikachu, no!


[STRUGGLING]


FREDDY 'It's now a battle of wills'


'as both Pokémon struggle to their feet.'


'This is a true clash of titans!'


You know what?


This is the most awesome battle ever!


Here I am, competing in the Unova League


having a full six-on-six battle with you.


Well, I've only got five Pokémon.


But, Lucario, isn't it great?


[AGREEMENT]


ASH 'I feel the same way!'


'Battling against you two is awesome!'


'Pikachu and I are so psyched!'


You're psyched? We're psyched!


We're ready! Are you ready?


- Come on! - Okay, Pikachu, go!


[EXERTION]


Lucario, Force Palm!


[FORCE PALM MOVE]


Dodge it, quick!


Go after Pikachu!


[EXERTION]


Circle Throw, let's go!


[CIRCLE THROW MOVE]


Keep your balance and tuck in your tail!


[SHOCKED]/[EXERTION]


Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!


[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]


[PAINED]


Unbelievable!


Wow, I can't believe Pikachu


can still move around so quickly like that!


You're looking at the true power of the team of Pikachu and Ash!


Well, I want to watch that incredible team


go all the way and win the Unova League!


Go get 'em! Yay!


You can do it, Ash and Pikachu!


[ENCOURAGING]


LUCARIO [STRUGGLING]


Now, Pikachu, Quick Attack!


[QUICK ATTACK MOVE]


[PAINED]


Lucario!


[STRUGGLING]


Hang in there and use Iron Tail!



[IRON TAIL MOVE]


Don't give up, Lucario! Use Copycat!


[COPYCAT MOVE]


PIKACHU [PAINED]


[gasping]


Huh!


[WEAK]


- Pikachu! - Lucario!


FREDDY 'Both Pikachu and Lucario'


'have taken a lot of damage!'


'Who will be the first to get up?'


Ugh! Are you seriously thinking that Lucario can be defeated?


Of course not! Right?


'Please! Get up!'


You've gotta get up, Pikachu!


Be the first one! Come on!


Right, Pikachu! You can do it!


[ENCOURAGING]


I believe in you, buddy.


Yeah! I know you can get up!


You can still battle!


[STRUGGLING]


Pikachu, alright!


- Yay! Hooray! - I knew you could do it.


I just can't believe Pikachu took all that damage


and can still get up!


That's because Ash has faith in Pikachu.


It senses the winning spirit that burns


in Ash's heart with the heat of a thousand flames!


FREDDY 'Has the winner been decided?'


'Is Lucario through?'


No way! Not done yet!


'Lucario!'


[STRUGGLING]


FREDDY 'And now Lucario's


up on its feet as well!'


This is true courage on display! Unstoppable spirit!


'Give it everything you've got left!'


Electro Ball!


[ELECTRO BALL MOVE]


Lucario, show them your spirit with Aura Sphere!


[AURA SPHERE MOVE]


- Do it, now! - Now!


[ELECTRO BALL MOVE]


[AURA SPHERE MOVE]


[STRUGGLING]


Argh!


Argh!


[PANICKED]/[PAINED]


[Ash gasps] [gasping]


[PAINED]


REFEREE 'Pikachu is unable to battle!


Lucario's the winner!'


Which means, Cameron wins the match!


FREDDY 'Lucario has wrapped this up


with Aura Sphere'


'so Cameron wins this fierce battle'


'and joins our top four Trainers'


'as they move on to the semi-finals!'


Lucario, you did it!


You really did it! Awesome, Lucario!


They don't come any better than you!


You gave it your all, Pikachu.


You battled hard all the way to the end and never gave up.


Thanks so much.


[WARM]


[laughs]


Oh! Hey, Ash.


That was great, Cameron!


Lucario, your Aura Sphere is amazing!


[PLEASED]


Having that battle with you was truly an honor, Ash.


I'll win it all.


And I'll do it for the both of us.


Thanks! I'll be here cheering!


[ENCOURAGING]


[crowd cheering]


GROUP Who's that Pokémon?


GROUP It's Lucario!


[INTENT]


FREDDY 'These Unova League battles


continue to excite and amaze!'


'And soon, these four remaining competitors'


'will square off in the semi-finals!'


[EXERTION]


[crowd cheering]


'The battle between Cameron and Virgil'


'has reached a fever pitch'


'as Cameron faces an uphill climb'


'against Virgil's powerful Team Eevee!'


'Can Lucario, Cameron's final Pokémon carve out the win?'


Team Eevee's strong.


Each member adds a unique ingredient that when combined


makes for a battle that's deep and complex.


Virgil's still got three Pokémon.


Won't it be hard to win with only Lucario left?


Nah! No way.


I want Virgil to do well too


but I'm still gonna cheer Cameron on anyway.


Cameron, go! Win it!



Okay, Lucario!


We've gotta beat 'em. Got it?


Alright, Espeon, your mission is complete.


[HAPPY]


Flareon! Deploy!


[APPEARING] Flareon's up next?


A Fire-type is an excellent matchup against Lucario.


Ah, who cares about match-ups?


Now, Lucario! Force Palm!


Alright. Double team, go!


[DOUBLE TEAM MOVE]


LUCARIO [FORCE PALM MOVE]/[CONFUSED]


Now, what're we gonna do?


Flamethrower!


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


[PAINED] Lucario!


[WORRIED]


[ANGRY]


FREDDY 'Lucario's up! And still


burning with battle spirit!'


Lucario! Alright, Cameron, think!


What am I gonna do?


[grunts]


I'm trying to think, but nothing's there!


'All I can do now is attack!'


Aura Sphere, go!


[AURA SPHERE MOVE]


Flareon, Fire Blast!


[FIRE BLAST MOVE]


[SURPRISED]/[PANICKED]


Lucario!


JUDGE 'Lucario's unable to battle!


Flareon wins!'


'Which means, this semi-final match goes to Virgil!'


[crowd cheering]


'Cameron has been totally eliminated'


'as Virgil moves quickly and easily on to the finals!'


- Cameron. - It was a good battle


but Virgil was just too strong for him.


Team Eevee's something.


Cameron's style is impressive


but it was completely overpowered by the refined


and fragrant aroma of Virgil's mature battling style.


And now, we're up to the finals


which will decide who's gonna get the win.


Now, don't forget Virgil did defeat Cameron


who defeated Ash.


So, I'm certain Virgil's going to win.


I'll cheer for Virgil like there's no tomorrow!


[HAPPY]


[crowd cheering]


[PAINED]


FREDDY 'This is about worthy


of being a final battle!'


'Both competitors are using their final Pokémon.'


'Will Eevee stand up against Druddigon's fearsome attacks?'


Druddigon, use Dragon Rage!


[DRAGON RAGE MOVE]


Eevee, Dig! Let's go!


What a dodge.


Way to go, Eevee!


PIKACHU [EXCITED]


EEVEE/DRUDDIGON [EXERTION]/[SHOCKED]


Eevee, Iron Tail!


[IRON TAIL MOVE]


DRUDDIGON [PAINED]


Eevee! Trump Card, go!


[DETERMINED]


[TRUMP CARD MOVE]


[SHOCKED]/[PAINED]


REFEREE 'Druddigon is unable to battle!


Eevee's the winner!'


Virgil wins the match!


'And the championship!'


FREDDY 'Eevee's Trump Card


scores a direct hit!'


'So, after an intense battle the man who stands tall'


'as champion of the Unova League is Virgil!'


- Wow! Virgil did it! - Way to go!


Eevee, you're the best!


I couldn't be any more proud of you.


[AFFECTIONATE]


Yay!


[instrumental music]


FREDDY 'Ladies and Gentlemen,


live from Vertress City'


'we bring the curtain down on another exciting Unova League!'


'Let's give another big round of applause for Team Eevee'


'who emerged victorious after battling'


'a field of skilled competitors!'


Hey, Virgil, congratulations on your win.


PIKACHU [HAPPY]


VIRGIL Thanks, Ash.


There's no doubt Team Eevee was awesome


but you won't beat me the next time.


You know, after competing Eevee's


more confident than ever before.


We're really grateful to you and everyone else, too.


[DELIGHTED] [helicopter whirring]


VIRGIL/CAMERON/ASH Huh?



IRIS Hey, look, its Davy!


IRIS [AGREEMENT]


VIRGIL 'Well, Davy, Team Eevee did it!'


Yeah! Saw it all on TV.

Wait 'til you see the party that dad's planning.


A party? That sounds so awesome!

And I brought him a surprise.


- Oh, well! - Huh? What do you mean?


I'll just give them to you.


Here! Here! Here! Here!


Wow, thanks a lot! It looks delicious!


Castelia cones!


When I told them they were all presents for Virgil


they made them especially for me.


[chomping]


Yum-bo!


Why did you eat them so fast?


See, we've gotta step on it


and start training for the next competition.


We'll catch you all later.


Let's go, Lucario. Bye!


See you, Cameron. Bye.


PIKACHU [FRIENDLY]


Later!


Gotta go.


I do have to go home


and see my dad once in a while.


Bye-bye!


Doesn't that girl ever stop?


Well, on the go makes Bianca Bianca.


See you later, Bianca.


[FRIENDLY]


How does a hot sauna sound about now?


Great idea.


- So what's up next? - Huh?


Your plans. Are you heading back home?


[RELAXED] No. Thing is...


Of course you're not.


You're gonna stay on your journey


and keep getting stronger.


So, you'll be all set for our next battle.


Of course I will. I'll get stronger, too.


And the next time we meet


are you gonna be ready?


Yeah.


[instrumental music]


CILAN Okay. I'm all packed.


- Hm? Now, where's Ash? - Huh?


IRIS 'He was here just a minute ago.'


AXEW [AGREEMENT]


We almost got to the semi-finals.


Pikachu, you and the others battled really hard.


[WARM]


'But..'


...Lucario and Cameron were really strong.


And Eevee and Virgil were even stronger than they were.


[expl*si*n]

Huh.


Just think of how much we've been through to get here.
