16x28 - Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR Continuing their cruise


to the Kanto region


our heroes now leave Honey Island behind them


and head for their next adventure.


I wonder what Pokémon we'll see on the next island.


I'm so psyched.


Mm. The ocean breeze is so nice. It's wonderful.


[EXCITED]


It's going to be a long ride until the next port


so we've got lots of time to enjoy.


How about this?


There is the Marine Cup Tournament you could enter.


Huh?


- Porter. Hi. - When did you get here?


I thought the ship we saw you on yesterday


had left the port already.


That's right. I'm this ship's Porter.


You saw my cousin Porter on yesterday's ship.


I see. It's just like Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.


So tell us more about that Marine Cup Tournament.


Sure. It's where passengers engage in Pokémon battles


all vying to be the top prize winner.


That sounds great. I'd like to enter.


[EXCITED]


Me too!


There's no better way to evaluate a battle


than while sampling the delicious breeze


the ocean will serve up.


Alright. Then I'll make all the arrangements.


And don't miss the Ripple collection.


Mrs. Ripple's exhibit will be displayed


in the ballroom for everyone to see.


As soon as the tournament ends.


Mrs. Ripple?


Yes. Ah. That's her right over there.


Her face looks awfully familiar to me.


I'm sure you've seen her on TV before.


Mrs. Ripple is one of the most famous


gem collectors in the Unova region.


Something wrong? Come here, Purrloin.


Purrloin?


[ANNOYED]


That's right! She's the gem collector who has a Purrloin.


I knew there was a reason I remembered her.


[CURIOUS]


[whimpering]


♪ 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 ♪

"CILAN AND THE CASE OF THEURRLOIN WITNESS!"


[EXCITED]


[FRIENDLY]


That's so sweet. You want to be friends?


Purrloin thanks you.


Say hi to my partner, Pikachu. My name's Ash Ketchum.


Nice to meet you. I'm Mrs. Ripple.


- My name's Iris. - Uh, my name's Cilan.


It's a pleasure. Hmm-mm.


[ANNOYED]


- Huh? - I think we all get it.


You don't like Purrloin one bit.


- Am I that obvious? - Ah.


I'm sorry about Purrloin.


I'm afraid it's in quite a bad mood today.


The Eye of Liepard's the reason why.


"The Eye of Liepard?"


[CURIOUS]


Oh, that's the name of one of my gems.


IRIS 'Ooh, would you show us?'


[CURIOUS]


Watchog, thank you for guarding the door.


[PROUD]/[FRIENDLY]


Everyone, please come in.


- Oh, wow. - They're amazing.


MRS. RIPPLE 'This one is called Swanna's Tear.'


'This one's called Lilligant's Bloom.'


This is the Star of Cryogonal.


And finally, this one is the Eye of Liepard.


Exquisite.


'Its deep color matches Liepard's eyes exactly.'


Correct. This gem can only be found in Unova.


And it's the largest one


that has ever been discovered to date.


However, although it's very precious to me


not so to Purrloin.


Purrloin appears to be very unhappy that I have it at all.


Perhaps Purrloin thinks you love the gem more than you love it.


Although that's just a guess.


[ANNOYED]


I've been looking for you everywhere.


Nice to see you, Mrs. Ripple.


PORTER Mr. Shaw, what can we help you with?


I'd like Mrs. Ripple's help.


Concerning that fabulous gem collection of hers, of course.



So this is the amazing Eye of Liepard.


It's far more beautiful than I thought.


It would be an excellent addition to my gem collection.


Ah!


I'm afraid not.


These gems are much better off


when they're made available to the public.


As I've said before, I have no intention of selling it to you.


But, Mrs. Ripple, I beg you to reconsider


for gem collectors everywhere.


That's my answer. Please, leave.


Huh?


[sighs] Alright then.


But don't forget I'm known as the Carvanha


of the gem-collecting world.


Once I have my eye on something, it will be mine.


[laughing]


[ANNOYED]


- 'Oh.' - What is wrong with him?


So annoying!


[ANNOYED]


That gentleman is a real gem collector


but he keeps his collection private


so no one ever gets the chance to see.


He said he was going to make it his.


What does that mean?


Beats me. Who knows?


[CURIOUS]


MALE # 'May I have your attention, please?'


'The Marine Cup Tournament will begin soon.'


'Please gather at the special b*ttlefield on the ship's'


'main deck and cheer on our competing Trainers.'


Our first battle will be. Iris versus Teaque.


Mm. Mm!


Let's do this, Axew.


Okay, Vanillite, let's go!


[APPEARING]


[SCARED]


Oh, great. It's an Ice type.


Mm. Stop it, Iris. You'll be fine.


We're going to win this, Axew, no matter what!


[DETERMINED]


Alright. Begin!


[EXERTION]


Iris, Axew, you can do it.


[CHEERING]


Since this will be a one-on-one battle


Iris has all her hopes riding on Axew.


Huh?


[DISINTERESTED]


[EXERTION]


Oh. Come on. Just pretend you didn't see it.


[STARTLED]


[ANNOYED]


Use Scratch!


Vanillite, Double Team!


[DOUBLE TEAM MOVE]


[SHOCKED]/[CONFUSED]


Just stay calm and hit all of them with Dragon Rage.


[DRAGON RAGE MOVE]


Okay, use Ice Beam.


[ICE BEAM MOVE]


[SHOCKED]/ [DAZED]


- Oh! - 'Axew is unable to battle.'


'Vanillite wins.'


'Which means the victor is Teaque.'


Let's win our battle for Iris' sake.


What do you say, Pikachu?


[DETERMINED]


REFEREE 'Gurdurr is unable to battle. Pikachu wins.'


'Which means, the victor is Ash.'


Hm? Mrs. Ripple, is something the matter?


Yes, there is. I-I can't seem to find Purrloin anywhere.


I am so very sorry to hear that. Let me help you in your search.


[HESITANT]


[EXERTION]


[URGENT]


[IRON TAIL MOVE]


[PAINED]


[BLIZZARD MOVE]


[PAINED]


REFEREE The final round.


- 'It's Teaque.' - 'Yeah.'


- 'Versus Ash.' - 'Right!'


Oh, boy. This is bound to be a great bout.


But I know who's gonna win.


Alright, Ash, Pikachu, do it!


[CHEERING]


Go, Galvantula!


[APPEARING]


But how come you're not gonna use Vanillite?


I already decided if I made it to the finals


I was gonna choose my Galvantula.


Electric types, huh. We're gonna win.


[DETERMINED]


Alright, begin.


Pikachu, let's go.


[ATTACK]


Purrloin's not here either.


I wonder if it went back to the room.



I'll bet that you're right. We should go have a look.


Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!


Alright. Use Thunderbolt too.


[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]


Hang in there, Pikachu.


[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]


Heh.


[FOCUSED]


[ATTACKING]


Huh!


- Huh? - Uh-oh.


[NERVOUS]


Huh?


[STUNNED]/ [CONFUSED]


[STARTLED]


[CURIOUS]


[SLEEP POWDER MOVE]


[DAZED]


[SLEEPING]


Hm. Muah.


Job well done, Roselia.


[laughing]


MALE # 'Thank you for your patience.'


'We had some trouble with the electrical system'


'but everything is now up and running perfectly.'


'Please continue with the battle.'


Alright. Let's keep going.


[EXCITED]


MRS. RIPPLE 'Watchog!'


- Wh-what happened? - Huh?


- Are you aright? - 'Oh!


PORTER/MRS. RIPPLE Huh?


Mr. Shaw, what are you doing here?


- It's gone. Somebody stole it. - Huh?


The Eye of Liepard's gone.


[gasps] Oh, no. It can't be!


Oh. Mrs. Ripple.


[URGENT]/[EXERTION]


Alright, Signal Beam!


Dodge and use Iron Tail!


[IRON TAIL MOVE]


[PAINED]/[WEAK]


REFEREE 'Galvantula is unable to battle. Pikachu wins.'


'Which means, the winners of the Marine Cup Tournament'


'are Ash and Pikachu!'


Alright!


Congratulations.


[HAPPY]


You really demonstrated Pikachu's sharp-edged attacks


with a sparkling victory.


[FRANTIC]


Purrloin, oh, no!


[SEARCHING]


[ANGRY]


What are you doing?


Knock it off, Purrloin.


[WORRIED]


[grunting] Why is Purrloin so upset?


- Ugh! Huh? - Huh?


Huh?


[CONFUSED]


[Cilan screaming]


GROUP Who's that Pokémon?


It's Roselia.


Ah. The Eye of Liepard is missing for real?


[SHOCKED]


Yes, I'm afraid that it vanished without a trace


during the Marine Cup Tournament.


[UPSET]


Don't be upset, Watchog, please.


Someone else is to blame, not you.


Are you saying someone stole it?


That's correct.


In fact, the crew is conducting a thorough search


of the ship as we speak.


A gem disappears from a locked room.


I smell the rotten and distasteful stench of a crime.


Uh..


Which means it's detective time!


You leave everything to Connoisseur Detective Cilan.


Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.


Now, if somebody did steal it


the main suspect would have to be Mr. Shaw.


I suggest we investigate his actions first.


If I've told you once, I've told you a million times, captain.


I admit that it's true, I entered Mrs. Ripple's room


without her permission.


'But it was only to get a closer look at the Eye of Liepard.'


I would never think of stealing it.


You wouldn't? Really?


We'd like you to see something.


Mrs. Ripple and I had made a previous agreement


to have a camera installed in the room with the gems.


MALE # 'Because of an electronic glitch'


'the picture gets cut off for a few seconds.'


- 'Ah!' - 'It's gone.'


I swear it wasn't me.


The gem briefcase was wide open by the time I entered the room.


The Eye of Liepard was already gone by then. Believe me.


Mr. Shaw, I don't like this any more than you do



but I'm going to have to ask you


to stay in this room for the time being.


I'm sorry.


It's got to be him.


Look, I know the camera blacked out for a second.


But I'm sure he stole it.


Hold on. Mr. Shaw said he didn't steal it.


[AGREEMENT]


We performed a thorough search of all of his belongings


but the fact remains the Eye of Liepard


wasn't anywhere to be found.


Ah. He must've hidden it somewhere then.


Let's go and look.


[DETERMINED]


- 'Hold it right there.' - Huh?


CILAN There's no doubt Mr. Shaw wanted the Eye of Liepard


so that means he must have stolen it.


Yes, that is a logical assumption


but does that guarantee the assumption is accurate?


ASH/IRIS Huh?


It's true that Mr. Shaw


caused Watchog to fall asleep


and then crept into Mrs. Ripple's gem room.


But sometimes the obvious can cause people


to jump to conclusions


and that mistake could very well lead us away from the truth.


I guess so. Then you figured out who really did it, right?


[EXCITED]


Honestly, I haven't the slightest idea.


ASH/IRIS Oh!


See, I've never encountered a mystery quite like this before


so, let's see, Watchog fell sleep


and then Mr. Shaw entered the room


but the gem was already gone.


Hm.. Huh?


Uh.. Aah!


Will you please stop staring at me


when I'm right in the middle of my thinking time?


[ANNOYED]


Sounds like Purrloin knows something.


[CURIOUS]


Aah. Hu-huh?


The Eye of Liepard?


I was battling in the tournament the whole time.


I had nothing to do with it.


[ANGRY]


And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm exhausted.


- I'll see you later. - Wait, Teaque.


[URGENT]/ [DISTRUSTFUL]


IRIS 'Hold a second.'


Remember back when Purrloin jumped onto Teaque?


[ANGRY]


But Teaque was battling with Ash


when the Eye of Liepard was stolen.


I don't see how he could've had anything to do with it.


It just doesn't make any sense.


I'd sure like to know what Purrloin knows.


Wait just a sec.


If memory serves me well


the gem disappeared during the blackout.


So we need to figure out the blackout's cause.


Hm..


The security camera.


The briefcase placed on top of the table.


- Hm.. - What's the matter?


[CURIOUS]


CILAN 'The carpet is wet.'


[sniffing]


- That's how it was done! - Huh?


There's no mystery in the world that can't be solved.


And this is no exception. Ha!


You okay, Mrs. Ripple?


[CONCERNED]


MRS. RIPPLE Yes. I'm fine now.


Why do you keep wasting my time?


Sorry to bother you again. Just listen, please.


Alright. Everyone's here.


As you all know, Mrs. Ripple's gem


the Eye of Liepard, disappeared from her cabin.


I, Connoisseur Detective Cilan, will explain how it happened


and unravel the mystery that took place


inside that locked room.


I'm convinced that the theft occurred


during the Marine Cup Tournament's final round.


The Eye of Liepard was stolen


during the last battle between Ash and Teaque.


'Iris, where were you and what were you doing at that time?'


Me? I was cheering for Ash with you.


'And you, Porter?'


I was out searching the ship for Purrloin along with Mrs. Ripple.


CILAN 'And Mr. Shaw?'


[gasps] Now look, I am not the one who stole the gem.


And that's the honest truth.


Mr. Shaw, you've got to calm down.


Purrloin, please. We need to know where you were.


Ah. You were in Mrs. Ripple's room? Is that true?


It is. I saw Purrloin come through the closet door.


Therefore, Purrloin had to have witnessed the entire crime.


Elementary. It knows who the culprit is.


[gasps]



So, now, if you'll follow along


I'll tell you what Purrloin most likely witnessed.


First, Purrloin entered the room


without using the door.


Soon, when the blackout caused the room to be plunged into


darkness, somebody else entered the room in the same way.


[gasps] Ah.


That's exactly what happened. I'm innocent, I swear.


Alright, but somebody still had to have stolen


the Eye of Liepard. Any idea who, Teaque?


- Huh? How would I know? - Simple.


I have deduced that the culprit had to have utilized


a Pokémon that can use a Water type


or an Ice type move.


I discovered a water spot.


It was on the carpet in Mrs. Ripple's room


and the spot came from a Pokémon.


I do have a Vanillite, I admit it


but what does that have to do with anything?


I was battling in the final round when all this happened.


That's true but the Pokémon you used in the final round


was Galvantula and not Vanillite.


You also intentionally caused the blackout when Galvantula


used Thunderbolt. Am I right?


He did that on purpose?


Why would he do a thing like that?


Yes, please tell us.


By entering the Marine Cup Tournament


you gave yourself an alibi.


Meanwhile, your Vanillite simply sneaked into Mrs. Ripple's room


and proceeded to steal the Eye of Liepard.


This mystery has been solved.


We know the gem thief. And it's Teaque!


[ANGRY]


[all gasp]


[laughing]


Your skills at being a detective are impressive.


But now that you know, I'm not holding back.


Alright, Vanillite, use Blizzard!


[FOCUSED]


[BLIZZARD MOVE]


Growlithe. Use Flamethrower.


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


Alright. Fire Fang.


[FIRE FANG]


[PAINED]


Aah! Ugh!


[EXERTION]


[SCRATCHING]


[gasps]


This man is a wanted gem thief


as well as a master in the art of disguise.


We received intel that he was planning


to board this cruise ship.


Now, he's mine, thanks to you.


Alright. Who are you?


Sorry about that. I didn't mean to be rude.


I'm special agent Tedesco.


What a relief.


These real mysteries can really take it out of a Connoisseur.


[gasps]


Thank you.


[HAPPY]


Look how excited they all are.


You know, you're right, Mrs. Ripple.


The gems do far more good when the public has access to them.


I'm so sorry for sneaking into your room like I did.


I hope you'll forgive me.


- Forgiven, of course. - Mrs. Ripple?


IRIS I'm so glad the gem's on display.


Ah. It's you three!


I can't thank you enough


for proving my innocence to the world.


I think you should thank Purrloin instead.


Oh, yeah, where did Purrloin go?


Oh, my. I know Purrloin was just here.


'Hey. Purrloin.'


There. I was starting to get awfully worried about you.


[HAPPY]


Purrloin really loves Mrs. Ripple a lot


don't you think?


I do. That's why Purrloin was so eager to help.


NARRATOR And so, Connoisseur Detective


Cilan has solved the case


of the missing Eye of Liepard, with a little help


from the rest of our heroes.


Now, what adventures await on their next island stop?


You know, maybe going through all of this


fixed your fear of Purrloin.


Hm. I kind of doubt that.


Why are you so terrified of Purrloin in the first place?


Hm. It's like this.


[ship horn blaring]


[gasps]


The journey continues.
