16x29 - Crowning the Scalchop King!

[bunniefuu]

[HAPPY]


Hey, haven't we been seeing lots of Oshawott


and Dewott in the last few days?


[AGREEMENT] Yeah, you're right.


[CURIOUS]


I wonder if it has anything to do with our next stop?


So is everybody having a nice trip?


Awesome. Thanks.


We're wondering where the ship stops next.


That would be Scalchop Island.


- Scalchop? - Right.


Scalchop Island was mysteriously formed


by the accumulation of seashells or so they say.


Does that have something to do with all


the Oshawott and Dewott on board?


Yes. It happens every year.


'Lots of Oshawott and Dewott'


'and their Trainers meet there for a competition.'


The annual event is called the Scalchop King Competition.


Scalchop King Competition?


[CURIOUS]


Then that's where all the Oshawott


and Dewott are going.


Right. They're entering the competition.


And it just happens to be beginning today.


Huh? [APPEARING]


Oshawott, do you wanna be in it too?


[EXCITED]


Yeah! We're gonna enter and win the Scalchop King Competition!


[DETERMINED]


♪ 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

ASH "CROWNING THE SCALCHOP KING!"


NARRATOR As they tour


the Decolore Islands en route


to the Kanto region, our heroes' next port of call


is Scalchop Island, home of the Scalchop King Competition.


'Wow, awesome.'


'Scalchop-shaped chocolates. And cookies too.'


Wow. There's scalchop cake and macarons.


They even have scalchop necklaces and matching charms.


- Lots of T-shirts as well. - Tons of stuff.


[AMAZED]


FREDDY 'Hello folks..'


Huh? [SHOCKED]


It's the annual Scalchop King Competition.


Welcome one and all.


That's the guy who always does the play-by-play.


It's Freddy the Scoop.


Now, feast your eyes on the prize that the winner


of our competition will be receiving.


Hand-crafted by an artist from this island.


'The golden scalchop.'


[gasps]


Look at that. Is that solid gold?


Hm. Such a delicious shine.


Hm..


I realize we've tailed the Twerps


all the way here to catch Pikachu.


But the golden scalchop would be a coup.


We'll multi-task. We'll go for the gold too.


TEAM ROCKET Yeah!


But we don't have any Oshawott or Dewott


to get in this glamour-fest.


On the contrary, there's one right here.


- Convenient. - Huh? Huh? Huh?


[chuckles]


Oy, why do those chuckles always give me the creeps?


Okay, folks.


Please give our reigning Scalchop Queen a warm welcome.


The one and only Osharina!


[crowd cheering]


[PROUD]/[EXCITED]


[IN LOVE]


After the event, our Scalchop King


will sit with honor at Osharina's side.


[EXCITED]


ASH Wait.


[EXCITED]


[DISINTERESTED] [SAD]


[EAGER]


[PAINED]


[ANGRY] Uh. Oshawott, are you okay?


What did Oshawott do to deserve that?


[ANGRY]


CADBURY You're lucky it wasn't worse.


That's what happens when anyone gets too close to the queen.


No one approaches Osharina.


I guess that means you must be Osharina's Trainer, right?


Wrong. Osharina is Caesar's future queen.


- Who's Caesar? - Here.


Caesar was raised to be king. Take a good look.


It's been groomed for the role since Caesar was very young.



We're talking competitor number one.


When it comes to winners, Caesar's already the king.


Oh, another pain in the neck.


Look, you're wrong about Caesar.


My Oshawott's gonna win this.


[ANGRY]


Really? You're dreaming.


Dreaming? I'm wide awake.


Oh. I'm Cadbury.


We'll settle this at the competition. Bye.


What a fantastic crowd!


Perfect for cheering the Scalchop King Competition on.


Now, it's time to introduce our judges.


'If it's a battle, he's there.'


'The Pokémon Battle Club's Don George!'


Leave it to me to find the next Scalchop King.


FREDDY 'And from the Pokémon Center.'


- 'Nurse Joy!' - Hi, everyone.


FREDDY 'And watching the proceedings,


our Scalchop Queen, Osharina!'


[EXCITED]


The first event will evaluate each of our competitors'


scalchops for beauty, color and shape.


And now let's bring out our first contestant.


[gasps]


A most impressive scalchop indeed.


Such beautiful color.


Next contestant, let's go!


[PROUD]


[FOCUSED]


[gasps]


Impressive scalchops to be sure.


Yes. Such beautiful curves.


I couldn't tell one from another if I tried.


[EXASPERATED]


Perhaps a Scalchop Connoisseur could.


Next up is Oshawott presented by Ash.


It's your turn. Go get 'em.


[EXCITED] [FOCUSED]


[PROUD]


[gasps]


Hm. It's like sterling silver.


Yes, and quite understated.


They sound positive, don't they?


Hm, I don't think I could become


a Scalchop Connoisseur if I wanted to.


And now, Caesar, come on out!


Show them how it's done.


[PROUD]


[crowd cheering]


Hm. Scalchops of the highest order.


Color, shape and curves.


They're simply incredible.


Did you see that?


Caesar's number one.


Yeah? Well, the competition is just getting started.


[PROUD]


- Now, it's our turn. - Yay.


MEOWTH You sure about this?


One hundred percent.


The perfect getup.


'A Dewott dead ringer.'


I'll take the ringer part. You can have the rest.


- 'Here. Don't forget these.' - Huh?


These are custom-made scalchops, hand-crafted by Yours Truly.


Use them in good health.


[groans]


Alright, folks, presented by Jesty and Jason.


I give you Meowott.


[gasps]


These things are too big.


James blew it big.


[crowd cheering]


Hm. Incredible.


I've never witnessed scalchops with such epic proportions.


Wonderful.


Huh? They like these things?


Bigger is better after all.


Dewott! Dewott! Dewott!


JESSIE/JAMES Like a pro.


Now, the Scalchop Fling.


Where contestants throw their scalchops at the target.


Just stay cool and you'll do fine.


[EXCITED]


Contestant number one, go!


[DETERMINED]


[grunts]


[DETERMINED]


Oh, no!


[RELIEVED]


Thank goodness.


I can finally take a breath again.


[sighs]


Man, that was close. [RELIEVED]


And now, our next contestant.


[DETERMINED]


With Caesar's skill, this will be a piece of cake.


[DETERMINED]/[EXERTION]


Wow. What an awesome throw. [AMAZED]


See that, peasant? I told you.



My Caesar can't be beaten.


Ah. Look, this thing isn't over yet.


Now, our next contestant.


[groaning]


Now, I blew it!


- No problem. - True.


[gasps]


MEOWTH Go figure!


Excuse me.


In preparation for this event


I equipped my Scalchops with a remote guidance system.


At the midway point of our competition


'these competitors are still standing.'


Our next exciting event is the Brick Break.


But Oshawott doesn't know how to use that move.


Not to worry. We're not talking about the move.


We'll count the tiles you break with your scalchop.


That's why this is Brick Break the event.


Alright. You'll be awesome, Oshawott.


[EXCITED]


FREDDY Only the top three scorers


will move on to the next event.


So good luck, everyone.


This'll be as easy as falling off a log.


[DETERMINED]


[EXERTION]


[gasps]


And the number of tiles broken by Caesar is..


I count eleven!


Caesar is as strong as they come.


And now, for our next contestant.


MEOWTH Oy, vey..


- No problem still. - Precisely.


If I may.


We figured this might happen so I made my scalchops


from reinforced plastic composites.


Ah..


Wait, come back here. Meowth makes the play.


Aah!


[gasps]


And unbelievably, Meowott has broken twenty tiles.


Ah, nothin' like havin' a charm on my melon


to keep it from cracking.


And now for our final Brick Break contestant.


Go for it. Give it all you've got.


[ENCOURAGING]


[DETERMINED]


Only the top three move on.


I'm getting worried.


What if Oshawott doesn't do well?


Oshawott only needs to break ten tiles.


That doesn't mean it's easy.


[FOCUSED]


[DETERMINED]


GROUP Who's that Pokémon?


It's Cinccino.


[DETERMINED]


Whoa!


[EXCITED] [PROUD]


So let's count up the broken tiles.


'It's eleven!'


Yeah, you did it!


[EXCITED]


[PROUD]


Our next event is the Scalchop Performance.


As the name indicates, it's a performance competition


using a scalchop.


And the first and second place


contestants move to the final round.


'Our first contestant.'


Caesar. Aqua Jet, go!


[AQUA JET MOVE]


That Aqua Jet should earn a high score.


It's gorgeous.


[gasps]


[laughing]


Now, next contestant, you're up.


We'll do something better than that.


Oshawott. Aqua Jet!


[AQUA JET MOVE]


Looking good, Oshawott. Now turn again.


[DETERMINED]


[STUNNED]


[IN LOVE]


[screaming]


Getting distracted halfway through.


Unforgivable.


[DAZED]


Pretty bad, huh?


Hm. That recipe fell flat on its face.


And now it's time for our next contestant.


- Dewott! - Use Swords Dance.


[grunting]


Hm. Not bad at all.


Yes, I like it.


Hm.


[gasps]


Oh, no, I've been de-dewotted!


[gasps]


It looks like that's all she wrote.



We'll have to use brute force from here.


Just exactly who are you people?


Prepare for trouble in costume or not.


And make it double from a fake Dewott.


To protect the world from devastation.


To unite the people within our nation.


To denounce the evils of truth and love.


To extend our reach to the stars above.


It's Jessie.


And it's James.


Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light.


Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight and fight.


Meowth, that's right.


Not you guys again.


We're here for the golden scalchop.


Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!


[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]


FYI, this scalchop is made of reinforced plastic


with an extremely high defensive capability.


- Now's our chance. - - .


Huh?


[screaming]


I give up. What went wrong?


If I may, Pikachu's Thunderbolt packed


more of a punch than I originally anticipated.


Where've you been livin'? Under a rock?


TEAM ROCKET We're blasting off again!


Alright, now that that's over with.


Let's pick things up with the Pokémon battle.


So will it be Cadbury's Caesar or Ash's Oshawott for the win?


'This battle will determine who is given'


'the title of Scalchop King.'


Here we go, Cadbury.


I never thought your pathetic Oshawott would make it this far.


Oh, yeah?


[AMUSED]


[ANGRY]


'My Caesar's the one who's going to capture'


'the heart of Osharina.'


ASH 'No. Oshawott is.'


This battle lies in the hands of fate.


Ash and Oshawott. Win this thing!


[CHEERING]


FREDDY Alright, let the battle begin!


Our first strike. Use Aqua Jet.


[AQUA JET MOVE]


Let's counter them with the same move.


Aqua Jet, let's go!


[AQUA JET MOVE]


[PAINED]


Oshawott, no!


[laughing]


Of course, Oshawott's the pre-evolved form of Dewott.


The difference in power's obvious.


Power isn't decided just by evolving.


Let's prove it, Oshawott.


[DETERMINED] Use Hydro Pump.


[HYDRO PUMP MOVE]


Hydro Pump too!


[HYDRO PUMP MOVE]


Oshawott!


Let's wrap this up. Use Surf.


[SURF MOVE]


Hang in there, Oshawott! Intercept with Aqua Jet!


[AQUA JET MOVE]


[CONFIDENT]


Alright! Awesome, Oshawott!


I know.


Since we're determining the Scalchop King with this battle


then I think we should battle using just scalchops.


[SHOCKED] Just scalchops?


You can always forfeit if you're frightened.


[AMUSED]


[DETERMINED]


You've got yourself a deal.


Caesar. Razor Shell.


[RAZOR SHELL MOVE]


Oshawott, Razor Shell!


[RAZOR SHELL MOVE]


- Use it again. - Yeah, you too.


[RAZOR SHELL MOVE]


Wrap this up. Attack with a double Razor Shell.


[FOCUSED]


[DOUBLE RAZOR SHELL MOVE]


[SHOCKED]


[PAINED]


Let's end this charade.


Use an Aqua Jet and Razor Shell combination.


[AQUA JET AND RAZOR SHELL MOVE]


Quick. Get up.


[ENCOURAGING] [DETERMINED]


You ready, Oshawott?.


You use an Aqua Jet and Razor Shell combination too.


[FOCUSED]


[DETERMINED]


[AQUA JET AND RAZOR SHELL MOVE]


Full power!


[PAINED]


- Oshawott, get up! - Caesar, get up!


Come on, Oshawott!



[STRUGGLING]


Caesar, stand up and you're King.


[DETERMINED]


- Alright. - Oh, no.


- Oshawott. - Great, Caesar. You won it.


Huh? Oh.


FREDDY 'Caesar is unable to battle.


Oshawott wins!'


Which means, the match goes to Oshawott!


The Scalchop King!


Awesome! Yeah.


We won the match.


[THRILLED]


You were great. You won, Oshawott.


[HAPPY]


Hm. An impressive battle, no doubt.


Yes, I'm so moved.


Way to go, Ash and Oshawott.


[EXCITED]


A hearty battle with a sweet finish.


Now, it's time for the Scalchop King's award.


The incredibly gorgeous golden scalchop!


Let's all give Oshawott a big hand.


[crowd cheering]


Congratulations to you.


[GRATEFUL]


You deserve it, Oshawott.


[PROUD]


[HAPPY]


And Oshawott will reign as the Scalchop King


until the next competition, alongside Queen Osharina.


The two will become the symbols of Scalchop Island.


Symbol of Scalchop Island?


Right. After all, they are King and Queen.


Hey, wait just a minute.


When's the next competition happen?


FREDDY One year from today.


[gasps]


That's what the rules of the competition state.


Are you saying Ash and Oshawott are gonna have to say


goodbye to each other?


[SAD]


Oshawott.


[WORRIED]


What are you gonna do?


You see, I still wanna travel a lot more with you.


[SAD]


FREDDY 'And now, let's bring


our queen onstage.'


[STARTLED]


[EAGER]


I get it.


Since you love Osharina so much


maybe you'd be happier if you stayed here.


Oshawott. It's so hard to say goodbye.


But if that's the thing that'll make you happy..


FREDDY 'Osharina!


Where are you going?'


[EXCITED]


[EXCITED] [gasps]


Well, well, what do you know.


I guess Caesar and Osharina are meant to be together after all.


[SHOCKED]


[UPSET]


Oh! Oshawott's scalchop has broken in two.


And according to the rules


that disqualifies Oshawott as King.


'So the title goes instead to Caesar!'


[crowd cheering]


[UPSET]


[SAD]


ASH 'Cheer up, Oshawott.'


Now we can keep on traveling together, right?


[ENCOURAGING] That's right.


Give that broken heart time to heal


and you'll be as good as new.


I'm sure your scalchop will heal soon too.


[SAD]


[PROUD]


[STUNNED]


[HAPPY]


[IN LOVE]


[EAGER]


That was quick. Oshawott looks fine.


Guess a broken heart heals quicker than I thought.


[laughing]


[EAGER]


After a boisterous time on Scalchop Island


with the Scalchop King Competition


our heroes can only imagine what adventures await them next


as the journey continues.
