[bunniefuu]

Watch your driving.


We'll be in deep trouble if something happens


to our precious cargo.


You just leave it to me.


My driving skills are first class.


Uh-huh.


[gasps]


SCHWARZ Yeah. First class


driving skills, huh?


I hadn't heard a thing about a roadblock here.


WEISS 'Could this be a trap?'


[beeps]


[gasps]


[CONFUSED] Oh, no.


Poor thing.


They haven't damaged your wings, have they?


How could anyone do such a thing?


Don't worry. I'll get you out of here.


[TIRED]


- All set. - Me too.


- Let's move. Huh? - What's wrong?


Huh, who is that?


- We've got to get it back! - Right!


- Zangoose! - Seviper!


[READY]


Zangoose, use Scratch!


Seviper, use Bite!


[SCRATCH MOVE]/[BITE MOVE] [gasps]


[grunting]


[screaming]


- Our research subject! - We'll track it with this.

ASH "Saving Braviary!"


NARRATOR As night falls, our heroes


continue their journey to meet Professor Cedric Juniper


at the White Ruins.


Said to contain important information about Reshiram.


Whoa, it's really starting to get dark.


[AGREEMENT]


I'm getting hungry too.


[AGREEMENT]


Just a little farther to the Pokémon Center.


Hang on. We're almost there.


[groaning]


[gasping] [PAINED]


- Are you okay? - Can we help?


[gasping]


- 'N.' - Ah, Ash, everyone.


You look like you're in pretty bad shape.


[WORRIED]


We need to get you some help.


Thanks, but I'm okay.


Wish I could say the same about Braviary.


'Its wings are injured and it's in a lot of pain.'


[PAINED]


So, N, what happened?


Let's save the details for later.


We've got to get to the Pokémon Center.


- Right! - We're very close.


- Do you think you can walk? - Yeah.


All finished! You can come in!


Braviary will be fine!


[PROUD]


That's awesome! [HAPPY]


Its wing injuries may prevent


Braviary from flying right away


but rest should heal things nicely.


[AGREEMENT]


I can't thank you enough. Now you can relax.


- And now for you. - Huh?


- You've got injuries as well. - Ah..


POKEDEX Braviary, the Valiant Pokémon


and the evolved form of Rufflet.


Because of its devotion to its friends


Braviary will continue battling even after sustaining injury.


- Hey, N? - Huh?


So, what happened?


Well, Braviary was captured by an organization


called Team Plasma.


- Huh? - Yeah, we know them!


We had to deal with those guys too!


They were using EM waves to control Pokémon


and make them go on a rampage!


I see.


Pokémon have incredible talents and skills


'but if those talents and skills are used for evil'


'Pokémon can also become weapons.'


[gasping] Man, what an awful thing to do!


I agree. Unforgivable.


I've been thinking long and hard about why Pokémon exist


in our world, and how their presence affects us.



So now, I've finally come to a conclusion.


A Pokémon's purpose has nothing to do with harming people


or destroying anything.


It's simply impossible.


Right!


Pokémon battles?


Pokémon being forced to fight?


That's why I can't stand them!


[DISAPPOINTED]


Now, hold on. I know there are people like all of you.


People who get along well with Pokémon.


[AGREEMENT] Yeah!


I have but one mission.


To free any Pokémon who has been misused by Team Plasma.


And to return them to their home.


That sounds great! I want to help you too!


- I'd like to help as well. - Hey, don't forget about me!


Thank you all. I'm very grateful to you for your offer.


But this is my mission and my mission alone.


[gasping]


They're close.


It would be better if we walked from here.


You know, N is a really nice guy who cares a lot about Pokémon.


Yeah, and that's exactly why he won't forgive Team Plasma


for all the awful things they've done.


So true!


I just wish there was something that we could do


to help him on his mission.


Yeah, me too. [AGREEMENT]


[DAZED]


Braviary, I promise there is nothing to worry about.


'I'll return you to the wild before you know it.'


BRAVIARY [DAZED]


No doubt Braviary's in there.


But crashing a Pokémon Center's going to be tough.


Don't worry, I know what to do!


First, I'll cut the power and disarm their security system.


Then, we grab our target! How's that?


- Excellent! - Then let's move!


[gasping]


Ah!


Ah! What is this?


[grunts]


You think we're having a blackout?


- Yeah, maybe. - The outside lights are on.


Something must have happened inside the Pokémon Center.


[gasping]


ASH 'What are you doing here?'


N, is something wrong?


I'm sure the blackout was no accident.


- It's the work of Team Plasma. - Team Plasma? No way!


[WORRIED]


Emergency power's not working either.


[WORRIED]


We better go check the circuit breakers.


[AGREEMENT]


We hit the jackpot.


Why don't we just grab them all?


SCHWARZ 'Remember what we're here for.'


Our orders were to deliver Braviary.


Right


- Where could it be? - Hmm!


What's up?


SCHWARZ 'It's Braviary's.'


- We're too late! - It couldn't have gotten far.


[laughs]


WEISS 'We've got you this time.'


- Huh? - There!


That guy again!


[panting]


[panting]


- Now, go, Zangoose! - Seviper, come out!


[READY]


- Zangoose, use Slash! - Seviper, use Bite!


[SLASH MOVE]/[BITE MOVE]


[screaming]


- Got him! - Yeah.


- Huh? - Huh?


WEISS 'What?'


You!


What have you done with Braviary?


SCHWARZ 'Tell us!'


[grunts]


ASH/CILAN/IRIS Who's that Pokémon?


ASH/CILAN/IRIS It's Seviper!


SEVIPER [PROUD]


You!


What have you done with Braviary?


SCHWARZ 'Tell us!'


[grunts]


- Ugh! - Huh? Stop!


- Zangoose, after him! - You too, Seviper!


We'll force him to tell us where Braviary is.


Right!


Coast is clear. Let's go!


Okay, Braviary. Now!


I'll go up ahead and check things out.


Great, thanks.


So, how does it look?


There's a good place to stop up ahead.



Good thing. But I'm still worried about N.


Yeah. I am too.


I'm sure the blackout was no accident.


- It's the work of Team Plasma. - It is?


Now, what do we do?


[CONCERNED]


I'm going to need everyone's help.


Are you up for it?


Sure. We'll do whatever we can!


[AGREEMENT] Thank you.


I'll act as bait and lead Team Plasma away


while you guys take Braviary


and get away from here as fast as you can.


- Bait? - But going at it alone


- could be dangerous. - Cilan's right!


Maybe we should all battle Team Plasma together.


No good, if we start a battle at the Pokémon Center


we could put the other Pokémon in harm's way.


Besides, it will be a lot easier to lure them away


by running if I do it all by myself.


Okay. You can count on us!


We'll take good care of Braviary!


[ASSURING] I trust you.


If at all possible try to get Braviary


to a safe place first


and then release it back into the wild.


- We'll do it, N! - You promise you'll be careful!


I promise. You take good care, Braviary.


[GRATEFUL]


Don't worry. You'll be feeling better very soon.


You'd better get going.


Right! Let's go, Braviary!


[ASSURING] Bye!


[CONCERNED]


I appreciate that you're concerned about me.


That means a lot.


I hope that we'll meet again someday.


Until then. [CONCERNED]


Don't worry! Just a little farther!


Over here, guys!


[URGING]


- So, how does this look? - Great, it looks perfect.


It's a designated Pokémon sanctuary.


A wonderful place for Braviary to get back into the wild.


You can't fly, but here you can take all the time you need


to get better, and soon you'll be flying back to your home.


[HAPPY]


You're finally free.


You take care. [HAPPY]


So what are you waiting for, Braviary?


[PANICKED]


Wait, Braviary, hold on!


Ah, Braviary, stop!


[FOCUSED]/[CONCERN]


If you go that way, you'll be heading back


the same way we came!


Braviary, please calm down.


If you go back there now, you're making a huge mistake!


You've got to listen.


Remember, N went to all that trouble


leading the bad guys away from you.


[UPSET]


Wow, all of a sudden Braviary looks so sad.


Yes, you're right.


Something's upsetting it. What could it possibly be?


It's something back there. Ah!


[UPSET]


I know.


You're really worried about


what's happening to N, aren't you?


[AFFIRMATIVE]


I thought so.


N told us how he's able to sense a Pokémon's feelings.


Maybe Pokémon can sense how N feels too.


[CURIOUS]


Then that means


the reason Braviary is feeling so unhappy


is because N has to be in some kind of danger.


[DETERMINED]


- Everybody okay? - Yeah.


Braviary wouldn't be acting that way


unless N is in some serious trouble.


- Come on! - Right.


[thinking] N, you've got to be okay.


[panting]


I hope that Braviary was able to get away.


ZANGOOSE [URGING]


[ANGRY]


SEVIPER [EXERTION]


[ANGRY]


[panting]


Seviper, use Screech!


[SCREECH MOVE]


Zangoose, use Slash!


[screaming]


The chase is over.


I'll ask you just once more. Where's Braviary?


Tell us, for your own good.


You can threaten me all you want


but you'll never stop me from doing the right thing!



- Yeah, we see. - You underestimate our Pokémon!


'I'm sorry, I can't free you right now, my friends.'


'I wish I could.'


What are you talking about?


Your friends? What nonsense!


As long as there are Pokémon whose powers are being used


for evil by selfish human debris like you


my fight will continue!


Helping Pokémon live in peace and happiness.


I'll never give up. Do you hear me? No, never!


Say whatever you want, but it won't help!


- Seviper, finish this! - Zangoose, you too!


[EXERTION]


[expl*si*n] [SHOCKED]


Uh! Ah!


Braviary! [DETERMINED]


What are you doing here?


[CONCERNED]


- But how? - Hey, there's N!


Uh, I can't believe it!


Are you okay?


But what did you come here for? This is my mission!


It was Braviary who let us know you were in danger.


We couldn't just stay back there and not help you out.


I guess not. [CONCERNED]/[PROUD]


Ah, what can I say? Thank you, Braviary.


Good! Now we don't have to hunt for it.


We'll grab Braviary right here.


[ANGRY]


But wait, you're still injured.


Don't worry, we'll take care of this!


Let's go, Pikachu! [FOCUSED]


Help out too, Excadrill. [FOCUSED]


[READY]


SEVIPER/ZANGOOSE [ANGRY]


'Look, N, I know you can't stand Pokémon battles'


but sometimes you just don't have any other choice!


Right, and this is one of those times!


There's no way Team Plasma's going to get away with this!


[grunts]


- Zangoose, use Slash! - Seviper, use Bite!


[SLASH MOVE]/[BITE MOVE]


- Dodge it, Pikachu! - You too, Excadrill!


[EXERTION]


Okay, counter that with Quick Attack!


[QUICK MOVE]


Dodge it, Zangoose!


[QUICK MOVE]/[EXERTION] Excadrill, use Metal Claw!


[METAL CLAW MOVE]


Seviper, dodge it! [EXERTION]/[METAL CLAW MOVE]


It's obvious both of them have been well trained.


Their astoundingly quick movements attest to that.


CILAN 'Enemies, yes, but impressive!


We can't underestimate them.'


Hmm, this time for sure! Zangoose, Iron Tail!


Use Iron Tail too, Pikachu!


[IRON TAIL MOVE]


[PAINED]


Zangoose!


Are you okay, Pikachu?


You've got to get up, Pikachu!


I know you can do this!


Come on, Pikachu! I'm depending on you!


'We all are!' [STRUGGLING]


- Seviper, use Screech! - Excadrill, Focus Blast!


[SCREECH MOVE]/ [FOCUS BLAST MOVE]


[DAZED]


Hmph. Seviper, return!


You were awesome, Excadrill!


Huh, you're exhausted! Return!


Now, you take a good rest.


Thanks for everything, Excadrill.


- Ah! - 'Come on, Pikachu!'


You've gotta get up, please!


Hurry, Zangoose!


[STRUGGLING]


Use Mega Punch!


[MEGA PUNCH MOVE]/[STRUGGLING]


Pikachu!


[EXERTION]


Huh?


[MEGA PUNCH MOVE]/[EXERTION]


[PAINED]


Thanks a lot, Braviary!


[GRATEFUL]/[TIRED]


Okay, Pikachu, Braviary helped us out, so now it's our turn!


Use Thunderbolt! [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]


[PAINED]/[STUNNED]


Huh, Zangoose, return!


I think we'd better get back to headquarters right away!


Right. But we will get Braviary back!


[sighs]


Wow, your wing's all healed!


It's absolutely delectable to witness


the remarkable teamwork between Braviary and Pikachu.


[HAPPY]


Ah!


Beautiful, isn't it?


This is where you're truly meant to be, Braviary.


In nature.



[SAD]


Yeah, saying goodbye's never easy


but now you can see your friends back in the wild.


[HAPPY] You're right!


And you won't have to deal with


Team Plasma either.


Now fly, my friend!


[EXERTION]


[HAPPY]


ASH 'Take care, Braviary!'


PIKACHU [SALUTATIONS]


IRIS 'Bye-bye!'


CILAN 'Best wishes!


I'm really sorry for all the trouble I caused you.


Ah! N, you're hurt!


- Ah! - Uh-oh, that's right!


We've got to get you back to the Pokémon Center right away!


Oh, alright.


Thank you very much, Nurse Joy.


Take care of yourself!


[AGREEMENT]


- Okay, that's that. - Wonderful.


So, where will you be heading now, N?


Well, just outside of Driftveil City.


- You're kidding! So are we! - Yeah!


So, why don't we all go there together?


Ah, you and me?


Is that bad?


See, in spite of what happened


I haven't changed my mind about being against Pokémon battles.


- Uh! - Hmm.


- 'But..' - Huh?


I have to admit, watching you battle


I experienced a strange kind of emotion


I've never felt before in my entire life.


Wow, that's intense!


So if you want to travel together, I'd be honored.


Great.


Traveling with friends is like having a good meal.


That's a new one.


Although that reminds me


I haven't eaten anything in forever.


[UPSET] Me either.


[UPSET]


Then I suggest a little lunch first.


- Yeah! - Yeah!


NARRATOR Again, N and our heroes


have crossed paths!


Also, the young man who can hear


the inner voices of Pokémon


will join them for the first part of their journey


to the White Ruins.


One can only imagine the exciting adventures


that await them along the way.


CILAN 'I'll ask Nurse Joy


if I can use her kitchen.'


ASH 'Awesome!'


'Wait till you taste Cilan's cooking!'


N 'Sounds exciting!'


CILAN 'Prepare your taste buds.'


'A more delightful culinary experience'


'you will never find.' AXEW/PIKACHU [HAPPY]


NARRATOR As the journey continues!
