Froakie!

Pika, Pika!

Great stuff.

Just like that.

Wow, they're really pumped up.

Froakie's moving faster than ever.

Looks like they're really excited about their Gym battle

against Korrina.Nenene!

Oh yeah-- Sure.

I'll beat Korrina and get that Gym badge.

Froa.Pika.

Froa?Pikachu!

Froakie!

What move was that?

That was Cut!

Wow, Froakie, you learned how to use Cut?

Froa?Pika, Pika.

Froakie must've learned that move

while trying to save Pikachu.

Yeah.

Wanting to help Pikachu uncovered more

of Froakie's hidden talents.

Woo-hoo!

You're right.

The first time I met Froakie, it jumped in when Team Rocket

was trying to steal Pikachu.

Awesome!

Thanks for giving Pikachu a hand like that.

Froakie.

Hey, Ash?

A Double Battle might be a really interesting way

for you to train with Froakie!

Double Battle?

Because Froakie learned a new move while helping Pikachu,

a Double Battle might result in more of the same.

Yeah, I'm totally up for that!

Will you have a Double Battle with me?

Of course.

Froa, Froa.

[Ash] "Forging Forest Friendships!"

[narrator] In preparation for his Gym battle against Korrina,

Ash is training hard,

agreeing to have a Double Battle with Clemont.

Here's my first Pokémon.

Chespin, Chespinpinpin!

Chespin!

You're ready to go, huh?

Okay then, your partner is right here.

Bunnelby.

'Kay.

Now, Froakie's partner's gonna be-- Hawlucha, I choose you!

Lucha!

Hawlucha, Froakie, we're having a Double Battle.

So make sure you really help each other out.

Kie.

Lucha, Lucha.

Kie.

Hawlucha wants to work together.

Froakie.

Yeah!

That's just what I like to see.

Okay, everybody, it's Double Battle time!

Yeah!

All right, here I come.

[Ash] Ready when you are.

Now, Chespin, use Tackle!

And Bunnelby, use Double Slap!

Hawlucha, Froakie!

Dodge it!

Ches...

pin?

Bunnelby.

There it is.

Hawlucha's testing its opponent's strength again.

Froa?

'Kay, it's our turn!

Froakie, use Bubble!

Hawlucha, rapid-fire Karate Chop!

Froakie!

All right, Chespin, use Vine Whip!

Bunnelby, you battle back with Double Slap!

Lucha!

Lu!

Cha!

Yay!

Nene?

Wow, this is the kind of dramatic battling

Hawlucha loves.

Yeah-- Way to go, Hawlucha.

Kie.

But Froakie doesn't seem to like this battle at all.

It's normal when battling to avoid taking damage.

Hawlucha's style is unusual.

Bun!

Keep up the pressure with Mud Shot!

Froakie, use Water Pulse!

Help out Hawlucha.

Cha, cha, cha!

Froa.

Hawlucha, what's wrong?

I think Hawlucha doesn't want Froakie getting in its way.

Is that true, Hawlucha?

Cha.

Froa.

Now's our chance.

Chespin, use Pin m*ssile!

Chespin!

'Kay, Froakie, dodge it, quick!

Way to go, Froakie!

Hawlucha-cha.

Froakie, froakie.

Lucha!

A-cha.

Hawlucha, what was that?

Froa!

Ha-ha Lucha.

[Ash] Froakie, stop!

[Serena] Please?

[Bonnie] Come on, quit it!

Calm down right now, you two.

Froakie froa.

Hey, both of you!

Knock it off!

You two are on the same team.

You're supposed to help each other out.

Froakie.

Ha-ha lu.

Froakie kie froa!

Lu lu cha.Froa kie kie.

I told you two to quit it!

Pika, Pikachu.

All right.

It looks like this battle's over.

I think it's special training time.

I'll put something together 'specially for the two of you.

Man.

Ready?

You're gonna cover each other's weak points

and strengthen each other's strong points

because you're partners.

Lucha.

Hawlucha cha cha lu.

Hawlucha cha.

Good idea.

First, you need to make up.

Froa.Cha lu hachu cha.

Come on-- Calm down.

Froakie, make up, please?

Oh, no.

What we're gonna use now is a two-Pokémon combo move.

I wanna start with Hawlucha's Flying Press.

And then add Froakie's Cut.

And here's how it goes.

First, Froakie rides on Hawlucha's back.

Next, Hawlucha makes a big jump.

Then, Froakie jumps and uses Cut

and that's when Hawlucha goes into Flying Press!

I think we're gonna call this move the Super Flying Cut.

Pika.

Hawlucha-cha-cha.

Froakie.

Okay... Let's try it.

Lunch is ready, guys.

Here.

homemade Poké Puffs!

Bunnelby.

Fenekin.

Chespin.

Ta-da!

Oh no!

The Poké Puffs are gone!

But how?

I know I put them in here.

All right.

Who took the Poké Puffs?

Nene.

Somebody took them.

You'd better tell us the truth!

Well, even if nobody will admit it, I'll know.

I put in those super-spicy Poké Puffs Fennekin loves so much.

And right about now, things should start heating up

in a big, big way.

Pin!

You!

Chespin, so it was you, after all.

Poké Puff thief!

Ches Chespin...

All right, try Super Flying Cut once more.

Cha!

Froa!

Cha cha cha cha!

Froakie kie.

Goofed again.

This isn't going well at all.

Pika.

Ha cha ha cha lu ha cha.

Froakie froa froakie.

Cha cha cha!

Froakie!

Stop!

Not again.Pika!

Try to be a little friendlier.

Hacha.

Froa froa.

Sounds like you two are hungry.

Wait a sec.

Here.

I've got some Oran Berries.

Ha.

Froa.

Lucha.

Froakie.

Good food makes you feel good, right?

Now, let's give that move another try.

Pika!

Ha.Froakie.

Cha.

Froakie.

Great.

And this time we'll make it work.

Use Super Flying--

Froakie?

Pika Pik!

It's Ash!

Pika Pi!

Pika!

[Serena] Pikachu!

Chespin-- Pin m*ssile, go!

Ches!

Chespin!

Fennekin, Use Scratch!

Fennekin!

Pika.

Pika, pika!

What is that scary noise?

All right, who did this anyway?

Halu.

Froakie.

Froakie!

Hey, the noise stopped.

Where are Ash and the others?

This could be the work of a Pokémon.

A Pokémon?

Right.

I've heard stories about a Pokémon who controls trees

and catches people who hurt the forest and eats them up.

But, then that means... Ash will be eaten, too!

Pik, pik, pik, pik.

Pika, pika.

Pika, pi.

Look!

Pikachu must've picked up Ash's scent.

Let's hurry.

[all] "Who's that Pokémon?"

[all] "It's Trevenant!"

Trevenant.

Froa.

Kie?

Froakie.

Froakie!

Chaha chaha!

Froakie kie!

Chalu!

Kie!

Froakie.

Ha ha Hawlucha!

Froa froa froa froakie!

Hacha--

Froa?

Kie?

Hawlulu cha?

Kie.

You two are on the same team!

You're gonna cover each other's weak points

and strengthen each other's strong points

'cause you're partners.

Froakie.Lucha lucha.

Kie froa.

Chalu.

Where am I?

Who's that Pokémon?

[woman] Trevenant.

The Elder Tree Pokémon.

A Ghost and Grass type,

Trevenant is able to control trees.

It traps those who cause harm to the forest

and never lets them escape.

Come on!

I'd never do anything to hurt the forest.

Trevenant.

Let me go!

I've gotta get back to my friends!

[Ash] Let me go!

Let me go!

I said let me go!

Hawlucha cha.

Froakie, froakie.

Froakie-- Hawlucha!

Hawlucha.

Trev...

You've gotta watch out for the Confuse Ray!

Froakie!

Haw-lu!

Hawlucha!

Trevenant's a Ghost type.

Fighting-type moves won't work.

Hey, Froakie!

Help Hawlucha by using Bubble!

Froakie, froa!

Hawlucha!

Way to go!

Great move!

Thanks.

Lucha.

Treve...

Okay, let's test our training!

Remember, work together as partners.

Use Super Flying Cut.

Froa froakie!

Lucha lucha lucha.

Oh man, Froakie, you're on backwards.

Froa...

Froakie, you okay?

Cha cha?Froakie kie.

Dodge that Will-O-Wisp!

Oh, no you don't!

Froakie kie?

Hawlu lucha?

If that's how it is, battle me.

'Cause I'm gonna protect my friends.

Cha?

Trevenant.

Trevenant.

Guess you understand.

Hawlucha.

Trevenant, please tell me: Why did you take me away

in the first place?

Trevenant.

Trevenant.

You want me to come with you?

Sudo?

What's going on?

Sudowoodo and Bonsly.

Who could've done this?

Did you bring me so I could help you get your friends down

from there?

Trevenant.

I get it now.

Trevenant, leave it to me!

Just a little bit more.

[shrieking]

Now I see.

You needed my help to save them 'cause that net's electrified.

Pika, pi!

[Serena]Ash!

Pikachu.

Hey guys.

Pikachu!

You showed up at the perfect time.

[Bonnie] Ash, are you okay?

[Ash] Trevenant just wanted me to help get them out of that net.

So that's what this is all about?

What a cruel thing to do.

Pikachu, Iron Tail!

Pika!

Chu!

Pika!

That's great, Sudowoodo and Bonsly!

Thanks, Pikachu.

Pika-- Pika!

Pikachu!

Oh no.Who did that?

Prepare for trouble, if you don't know by now.

And make it double, we'll tell you anyhow.

To protect the world from devastation.

To unite all people within our nation.

To denounce the evils of truth and love.

To extend our reach to the stars above.

Jessie!

And James!

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light.

Surrender now or prepare for a forest fight.

Meowth, that's right!

Wobbuffet!

[Serena] Team Rocket-- Not you again!

[Jessie] Well, the same goes for you.

It's all part of our groundbreaking, patent-pending,

rare-Pokémon-stealing strategy.

Of course.

You're the ones who set a trap for Sudowoodo and Bonsly.

Wow.

He thinks!

Give Pikachu back!

That didn't last long.

Pika, pika!

Save your volts.

We used an insulated net to catch the best Twerp Pokémon

we can get.

Pika, pika!

Pumpkaboo, get rid of that crew.

Inkay, you too!

Inkay.

Pumpkaboo.

Froakie, Hawlucha, time to work together.

Hawcha.

Froakie.

Pumpkaboo, Shadow Ball!

Dodge it!

Froakie, use your Frubbles!

Froakie!

Hawlucha, Flying Press, let's go!

Lucha!

Pumpkaboo, snap out of it!

Pumpkaboo.

Puh-leeze.

You should know Fighting-type moves won't work on Ghost types.

I'm one step ahead of you guys.

One step?

Froakie, use Water Pulse!

Kie froa!

Yippee!

Ne ne.Great strategy!

They used Flying Press to leave Pumpkaboo open

for a successful Water Pulse.

The two of you sure make awesome partners.

Cha cha lu ha.

Froakie kie froa.

Lucha.

Kie kie.

'Kay, Inkay, tackle, now!

Dodge it one more time.

Kie kie froakie.

Lu cha cha.

Kie kie froa!

Inkay, Psybeam!

Froakie, no!

Don't worry... Froakie's fine.

That was just a decoy made out of Frubbles.

That was a Frubble fake?

All right, time for Super Flying Cut!

Kie froa!

Hawlucha, let 'er rip!

Froa.

Lucha!

Oh yeah!

Super Flying Cut worked just the way it's supposed to.

Inkay, return!

This isn't looking good.

Maybe we should shelve our strategy and call it a day.

Trevenant!

All right!

It's Trevenant's Wood Hammer!

Pika.

Pika, pika.

Trevenant.

I guess we're done.

It wasn't fun.

So now, we run.

Pikachu!

Thunderbolt, let's go!

Pikachu!

[Team Rocket] We're blasting off again!

Wobbuffet!

They did it!Yay!

Nenene.

And flawlessly.

Hacha.

Froakie.

Halu cha!

Kie froa.

Hawlucha, Froakie, you're the best!

Tre Trevanant.

I've never seen more awesome partners than you two.

Keep working together like that, and it'll be great.

Cha!Froa!

Pika, pika.

Trevenant.

Sudowoodo.

Bonsly,bonsly!

Trevenant, Sudowoodo, Bonsly, take care of yourselves.

We'll see you again.

Pika, pika!

Bye, everyone!Bye-bye, everybody!

Bye, everyone!

[narrator] Thanks to some amazing teamwork, Froakie, Hawlucha, and Ash

helped some very grateful forest Pokémon.

And soon, they'll be arriving in Shalour City,

as the journey continues.
