[bunniefuu]

Rhyhorn!

[knocking]

Yeah, come in!

Are you going out?Fletchling!

Hey, Mom...

Which one should I wear?

I'd go with that!

'Kay, this one!

Fletch, Fletch!

If you already knew, why did you ask?

Whichever one you didn't pick is the cuter one, that's why!

Fletchling!I see.

So, where are you going?

Lumiose City!

To see Professor Sycamore and get my very first Pokémon!

Chling, Chling!

[Ash] "A battle of Aerial Mobility!"

[narrator] In Lumiose City, Ash has just befriended Froakie,

his first Kalos region Pokémon,

at Professor Sycamore's research lab.

Pika!Come on, hurry it up, you two!

Ash, you can register for the Kalos League over this way!Pika! Pika!

Yeah, we know, Bonnie!

There's no need to rush.

The Pokémon Center will still be there.

Thanks a lot, Clemont.

It's nice of you to bring me here.

Please think nothing of it, Ash.

I confess I'm a little in awe of you!

In awe?

You were willing to do anything you could to help Pikachu

and that Garchomp back there.

Just watching you gave me courage!

Oh, come on...

It wasn't that big of a deal.

It was!

I can totally understand why Froakie chose you.Pika!

I'll just have to do better...

Sorry!

Just talking to myself!

Wow!

Good morning.

Good morning to you, Nurse Joy!

At this Pokémon Center, helping Pokémon in need

is our number one goal!

We're here for trainers and Pokémon alike!Pika!

I was hoping you could help me register for the Kalos League!

I sure can!

If you please, touch this panel with your Pokédex.

Okay!

[man] Ash from Pallet Town is now registered to enter

the Kalos League.

Number of badges currently in your possession, zero.

We wish you the best of luck.

You're all set now, Ash!

Awesome!

And I'm gonna win!

My next step in becoming a Pokémon Master!

And every registered trainer is eligible to receive

a Kalos region badge case.

Here!

Wigglytuff!

[Ash] A Wigglytuff!Pika!

Why, yes!

Here in the Kalos region, my able Pokémon Center assistant

is Wigglytuff.

That's great!

Thanks, Wigglytuff!

Wigglytuff.

You're all registered.

Good luck!

Train hard and always do your best!

Right!

Count on it!Pika!

Good news, Boss.

We arrived in the Kalos region on time and according to plan.

Our goal is to catch as many rare and powerful Pokémon

as possible.

And we're totally committed to that goal.

You can count on us.

Good.

I'm certain the Pokémon you catch will be an important

addition to our work.

Get to it!

[Team Rocket] Sir!

Yes!

The Boss said for us to get to it!

He's counting on us! Yippee yay!

We're the first step in Team Rocket's takeover of Kalos,

'cause no one does takeovers like we do!

My croissant...

Inkay?

Rotom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom!

Hey, Rotom!Pika!

Rotom!

Hello, Ash!

How are things so far?

Great!

We arrived safely in the Kalos region.

We're gonna start our journey soon!

Good!

Have fun on the road.

Thanks!

I already caught my first Kalos Pokémon.

Wonderful!

Check it out!

What have we here?

A Froakie!

A Kalos Water-type Pokémon!

You're right.

You know everything!

Rotom! Hey, Rotom!

I can't see! Move!

Rotom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom!

[Ash] Guys!

Thanks for waiting!

Hi, Ash!

Didn't you tell us you were going to challenge

the Santalune Gym first?

Yeah!

I'm pretty sure the Gym Leader should be back by now.

I think the best way to get to Santalune City

is by traveling Route Four all the way there!

Then Route Four it is!

Aren't you psyched, Pikachu?

Pika!

Froakie, you're gonna be great!

Froakie!

So why don't we hit the road?

Let's go!

The sooner we leave, the sooner we're there!

You don't have to show me around anymore...

Silly Ash!

We're all really, really good friends now, right?

So we're going with you!

No joke?Pika!

We're serious!

Remember what you did back there?

You showed me what it's like to have real courage!

I know I can get stronger.

We both can get stronger traveling with you!

You're right, Clemont!

So...

That okay?

Pika! Froakie!Of course it's okay!

Traveling with friends is way more fun!

All right, it's a deal!

We'll have a great time!

Yeah, we sure will!

Hey, no fair!

I can't reach!

Let's go meet lots and lots of Pokémon!

Pika!Froakie!

[Ash] Right! Good friends!

Together!

Kalos, here we come!

Pika![all] Yeah!

Rhyhorn!

Gotta go.

Wish me luck!

Horn!

So do you know which Pokémon you want?

Which one?

It's a secret.

I'm off-- Later!

'Bye! Take care!Horn!

Don't forget to practice your Rhyhorn Racing!

I won't! Bye!

Horn!

I guess we'll just see about that...

Denne, Denne, Denne, Denne.

Denne, Denne, Denne, Denne, Denne.

Denne!

Dedenne!

Froakie, Froakie, Froakie...

Froakie?Pika?

Hey, what's up, you two?

Dedenne!

Froak?Pika?

Dedenne, Dedenne!

Dedeenne!

Pi!

Pika?Froak?

Pi, Pi...

Pika?

What was that?

Bonnie, are you okay?

Pika.Wow, that was a shock...

What was it?

Maybe it wanted this...

Pika!

Never seen that Pokémon!

Dedenne!

It's so cute!

Dedenne...

Dedenne!

Pika, Pika!

It sure doesn't look like it's afraid of us!

They're Electric types,

so they can communicate with electricity.

Oh, so that's an Electric type, huh?

[woman] Dedenne, the Antenna Pokémon.

Dedenne communicates long distance with other Dedenne by

sending radio waves through its antenna-like whiskers.

Wow... So that's a Dedenne!

I want it so bad!

Hey, you'll keep it for me, won't you?

Keep it?Yeah!

He'll keep it for me until I'm old enough to become a trainer.

Pretty, pretty please?

I promise I'll take care of it...

Let me see...

Aww, do it!

I can help you catch it if you want.

You will?

Thanks a lot, Ash!

All right, then.

Let's catch Dedenne.

Right...

Hey, Dedenne.

Denne!You wanted this, right?

It must have thought Pikachu was gonna take it.

That's right.Pika!

Here, take it!

Dedenne!

Hey, what's the big idea?

I've never seen that Pokémon either!

It's a Fletchling!

No fair!

That berry belongs to Dedenne!

Fletch, Fletch!

Fletchling, Fletchling!

Fletchling ate the berry!

[woman] Fletchling, the Tiny Robin Pokémon.

Although Fletchling's chirp is quite beautiful to hear,

it is relentlessly tough with those who enter its territory. Fletch, Fletchling!

Pika?

Dedenne, Dedenne, Dedenne, Dedenne...

Froakie!

Hey, Dedenne, what's the matter?

Dedenne!

Dedenne, wait!

Dedenne!

I don't think it's going to come back...

Froak?

Froakie!

Fletch, Fletch, Fletchling!

It dodged all of that!Froakie!

Look at that!

Fletchling's fast!

All right...

I'm gonna catch that Fletchling now!

Fletchling!

[all] "Who's that Pokémon?"

[all] "It's Fletchling"!

Fletchling!

Fletchling's a Flying type.

Pikachu has the advantage as an Electric type!

Froak...

Kie...

'Kay, Pikachu, let's go!

Pika!Froakie!

Pika?

Froakie!Fletch, Fletch, Fletchling!

Come on, Froakie!

We don't even have a plan!

Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Pikachu!

Pika...

Froak!Pika!

Froak!

Fletchling, Ling, Ling!

[Clemont] It's using Double Team!

Ling, Fletchling!

Froakie...

Froakie!

Froakie, are you okay?

Kie...Take it easy.

Just let Pikachu handle this.

Pika, Pika!

Froakie!

Froakie!

Wait!

Froak, Froak.

Froakie!

Froak!

Wait, Froakie!

Hold on...

Didn't Professor Sycamore say that Froakie had a habit of

ignoring its trainer when battling?

I'm starting to understand...

Stories about Froakie leaving its trainers...

I get it!

Pika...

Ah, my kingdom for a little bit of breakfast...

My departed croissant...

It may be a bit early for lunch, but let's bend the rules.

Wow! I second that!

Come back, sandwich!

Did you just see what I saw?

Something with a touch of white.

A Pokémon, I'll bet.

Wobbuffet!

Wob?

Wobuffet!

Ling!

Stop, Froakie!Pika!

Just chill out!Froakie...

You're only gonna end up hurting yourself!Froak, Froakie!

I know how you feel, Froakie, but you've gotta listen to me!

Froak?

[Clemont] Ash!

Fletchling!

Ling, Ling, Ling, Ling!

Everybody okay?Froak?

Pikachu? Froakie?

Clemont and Bonnie, are you okay too?

[Clemont] Yeah, Ash, we're all right!

Pika!

Hey, Froakie? I understand.Froak?

You wanted to get even with Fletchling

for making Bonnie sad.

Froak.

Is that true?

Thank you, Froakie!

Froa-oakie!

Fletchling! Fletchling, Fletchling!

[Ash] But you can't do that without a plan...

Fletchling can fly, right?

So first we need to figure out a way to lure it in!

Well, you just leave it to me!

You see, the future is now, thanks to science...

Clemontic Gear, On!

Presenting my Flying-type Pokémon Attractor Machine!

Wow!

The name could use a little work.

You see, Bird Pokémon have a homing instinct.

By using sound waves of a certain frequency,

this little invention of mine can attract or repel

Bird Pokémon by affecting their internal compass!

Watch this!

Power on!

Fletch, Fletchling.

It's starting to work!

So cool!

Man, science is amazing!

Fletchling...

I don't understand!

Pika?Froak?

Pi?

It makes no sense!

Hey, Clemont?

Something's staring at us!

Beedrill!Pika!

They were attracted by it?!

Turn off the machine!!

They're coming after us!

Let's go!

Turn it off!I must have picked too low a frequency when a higher

frequency would have worked a whole lot better

on Bird Pokémon!

Let's try this!

Stop it, Clemont!

You're making the Beedrill even angrier than before!

I'm sure I can affect the Flying-type Pokémon if I just

crank it up full blast!

Here goes!

Looks like you blew it again...

The Beedrill are flying away!

We're fine now!

Is everybody okay?

Yeah, I'm fine!

I'm not...Clemont, that was great!

You attracted all those Beedrill!

I guess I did!

[Fletchling] Fletch, Fletchling!

Chling, Chling, Chling!

Hey, it's laughing at us...

Fletchling!

I just got an idea!

[Meowth] That's a new Pokémon on me...

In...kay...

Huh.No.

Not "huh."

That's its name.Wobbuffet!

Whatever its name, let's make it ours!

Inkay, okay!

Then we'll just have to battle it!

Take it away, Wobbuffet!

Wobbuff!

Now that's what I call quick.

All right, smarty pants...

Feast your eyes on these!

Inkay, Inkay!

[Jessie] Our lunch!I thought you were starving!

Inkay took the bait!

Watch this!

We caught an Inkay!Oy vey, no way! No way!

Ling!

Fletch, Fletch!

This is it.

The perfect place to battle.

Time to settle the score!Pika? Froak?

Settle the score?

He means he's going to catch Fletchling!

Yup.

Together!

I'm your trainer, right?

That means it's you and me!

Froakie.

Great!

This whole area will be the b*ttlefield!

It's full of high and low places, and with your awesome

jumping skills, you'll rock!

Kie!

I have no idea what any of that meant...

Go, Froakie!

Jump up above Fletchling!

Ready?

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak...

Yes! Now jump higher!

Ash is taking advantage of all the different ledge heights!

And, combined with those amazing jumping skills,

Froakie will have even more mobility!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak!Fletch, Fletchling!

Now, use Water Pulse!

Froakie!Fletchling, Fletchling!

Make it hard to fly!

Froakie!

Fro, Fro, Fro, Fro, Fro, Fro, Fro, Fro, Fro!Fletchling!

Fletchling!

[Clemont] It's a decoy!

Great, Froakie!

Now... Bubble, go!

All right, go, Poké Ball!

Fletchling!

[Bonnie] No, it didn't work![Clemont] You were so close!

Fletchling!It's attacking!

Jump up and get above it again!

Water Pulse!

Fletchling!

Chling!

This time for sure!

Go, Poké Ball!

Yeah!

Froak!

I caught... a Fletchling!

Pi, Pikachu!Froakie!

Kie.

Froak...

You okay, Froakie?

I caught Fletchling 'cause of you!

Kie...Pika, Pika!

Wasn't that amazing?Sure was!

Froakie's jumping kept getting better!

Same with your teamwork!

Yeah!

I'm starting to understand a lot about Froakie.

Thanks!Pika, Pika!

Froak.Come on out, Fletchling!

From now on, we're gonna be good friends.

All of us!

And Fletchling, tell me if you get hungry next time,

because stealing other Pokémon's food is bad!

Fletchling!Okay.

You're forgiven.

How about an Oran Berry to celebrate our new friendship?

You too, Pikachu and Froakie!

Froak.Pikachu.

Ling, Ling, Ling.

Pika!Froak!Fletchling!

Great!

All right, let's all head to the Santalune Gym!

[narrator] And so, Ash has another new friend, Fletchling!

Now, as Ash, Clemont and Bonnie set their sights

on Santalune City,

our heroes' journey truly begins!

Hello?

Is Professor Sycamore around?

That's me!

I'm up here.

Hello there!

I'm Serena.

I'll bet you're here to become a Pokémon Trainer.

Yup!

Also, Professor, I saw a Trainer on the news.

The report was all about how he had saved a Garchomp.

Are you talking about Ash?

[Serena] Ash... I knew it!

I'm afraid he already left.

He was going to challenge the Santalune Gym.

Santalune Gym...

Professor?

May I choose a Pokémon?

Of course!

And do you have any idea which Pokémon you'd like?

Yup!

All right! Everybody out!

Chespin!Froakie!

Fennekin, Fenne!

[Professor Sycamore] These are the Kalos Pokémon new Trainers may choose from:

Fennekin, Chespin and Froakie.

Which Pokémon will you choose as your partner?
