[Narrator] Professor Sycamore's Pokémon summer camp
is beginning its sixth day,
and our heroes have been battling
Tierno and his friends for entry into
the summer camp hall of fame!
With a rivalry both friendly and fierce,
the two teams are currently tied
for the lead, and to break that tie,
it's time for the final event,
the Team Battle Competition!
Wingull!
Wingull, Wingull!
Good morning, everyone!
Good morning, Professor!
It's already day six of camp,
which means we finally decide
who gets into the hall of fame!
So, get ready for
the Team Battle Competition!
[all cheering, chuckling]
Team battle, huh?
Pikachu?
Everyone's so excited...
The Team Battle Competition
works like a tournament.
As usual, the competing teams
that take the top three spots
will receive points.
We have two teams tied for the lead
with points,
and those teams are Team Froakie
and Team Squirtle!
This is our final camp event.
So give it all you've got
and have fun!
[all cheering]
Pikachu!
A team battle consists of several trainers
forming a team and battling
using various types of formations.
Now, today our team will be made up
of three trainers,
but it can be a five-
or even a seven-person team!
Wow, really?Pika!
It sounds confusing to me...
Have you done this before, Clemont?
Unfortunately, I've never had the chance.
But it sounds like you guys have!
That's for sure.
It usually happens whenever
a lot of trainers get together!
Yeah, she's right. The next thing we usually do
is have a strategy meeting.
It's fun to compare the personalities
and skills of Pokémon
while we decide on our formation.
You come up with amazing battle-combo moves!
It's fun to put those battle-combo moves to the test.
All right,
Serena and Clemont, we can't lose!
We'll win this competition and get into the hall of fame!
Pika, Pika!

♪ Like no one ever was

♪ POKEMON!
♪ Yeah! You're my best friend ♪

[Ash] "Battling into the Hall of Fame!"
Now, Pikachu, let's get it going
with Electro Ball!Pika!
Pika, Pika, Pika, Chu, Pi!
Fennekin, use Hidden Power!
Combine it with that Electro Ball!
Fennekin...
All right, Bunnelby, dig!
Bunnelby!
Kin!
It worked!Awesome, Serena!
That battle-combo move was cool!
Yeah! Serena could be
a great performer, no doubt!
Furfrou...
Fur... Manec... Fletch...
Marvelous! Team Froakie
has now made it through this battle,
and that means... on to the finals!
[all] All right!
Fenn!Pikachu!
Bunnel!
It's time for the final battle
against Team Squirtle,
who has already moved to the finals!
Yeah they did it!
Dedenne,Dedenne!
I knew Team Froakie would get here!
I can see why everyone likes team battling so much!
It's exciting!Sure is!
I've got to agree, it's a lot of fun!
And now, before we get underway,
both teams will have their strategy meetings.
Won't be long now...
Time to put our plan into high gear.
Making it real for the steal!
So here's our plan...
Wobbuffet!Will you calm down?
Not yet!
This time I've come up with a savory strategy
as luscious as a well-seasoned
slow-cooked stew!
If we get our hands on Squirtle and the others,
Pikachu will surely come running to save them.
[Meowth] And if we use Squirtle
and its buddies as shields,
Pikachu won't be able to lay a paw on us.
We'll grab the load of them without a fight!
Attention!
I'd like you all to get started
on today's menu, please?
And thank you...Yes, ma'am!
Our first-class cuisine must come to an end.
Parting is such sweet sorrow.
'Cause we're going back to our regular gig, dig?
Wobbuffet!
Hello there, trainers!
All right! It's the camp cooks.
Kudos for making it to the final round!
How nice! Thanks a lot!
We owe you a lot for always making
such yummy food.
Oh, you've made me a happy chef!
Is there something we can do for you?
There is! Before the finals,
we thought we'd give your Pokémon
a complimentary health checkup!
But wouldn't the Pokémon Center
be the place to do that?
Nurse Joy's busy with the twerps--
What I mean to say is she's busy
with Pikachu and all the others!
We may look like just chefs...
...but we're licensed healthcare workers, too.
You are?
Having healthcare professionals
who can cook is awesome!
Sure is, all right!
I think you've said enough.
Okay then, thanks!
Your Pokémon, if you please...
See you later, Squirtle.
You too, Charmander.
We'll treat them like they were ours.
Off to the Pokémon Center!
[healing chimes]
Okay, here you go!
Pika, Pi! Pikachu!
Buddy!
We're all finished. Everybody's healthy.
That's great. Thanks a lot, Nurse Joy.
And now it's time for the final battle!
Yay, I'm so excited!
Nurse Joy!
We're here for our Pokémon!
Uh, that's confusing.
Wigglytuff?
I'm afraid they're not here.
Ready or not, it's checkup time...
Squirtle! Char! Bulba!
Pumpkaboo!
Pumpkaboo!
Leech Seed, let's go!
Squirtle, Squirtle!
Stay calm. The best thing you can do
for yourselves now is relax.
A chilled Pokémon is a happy Pokémon.
Our chefs did that?
Pika?
Guess they can do anything.
They might still be busy with the checkup...
Yeah, but it's been such a long time.
I think we should split up and go look for them!
Bun? Bun? By!
Hey, Bunnelby's pointing over there.
What is it, Fennekin?
Fenn!Bun, Bun!
Fennekin!Bunnelby!
Pika!Pikachu!
They all sense something...
Quick, let's follow them!
Pika, Pika, Pika...
Hello? Chefs?
Boss alert! Return!
Cover up!
Oh, there you are!
I was looking all over for you.
Forgive us.
We're looking for vegetables for the kids.
[Fennekin] Kin!
What's this?
Fennekin!
Where are the Pokémon?
Well, well...No need to grouse.
Pikachu in 'da house!
"Who's that Pokémon?"
"It's Meowth!"
[Meowth] That's right!
Fennekin?
Trespasser! Get away now!
Your nose is getting out of joint!
Bunnelby!
Is there something in there? Bun!
Fennekin, Kin!
What have you done with all of our Pokémon?
Char...
Hey, cut it out! Leave our veggies alone!
What's going on, Fennekin?
Oh dear. Something's got to be wrong!
Both Fennekin and Bunnelby
are sure something else is in there!
Pika, Pikachu!
Now you're just making things up!
Nothing in here but fresh veggies.
And if you keep messing with us,
there won't be any veggies tonight!
Pika!
Pikachu!
Charmander!
[Shauna] Bulbasaur!
[Tierno] Squirtle![Trevor] Charmander!
Those are Pokémon, and no matter what you say,
they're definitely not vegetables! Pi.
What are you think you're doing with them?
Prepare for trouble, we don't think, we know...
And make it a multi-kidnapping show.
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 frantic food fight!
Meowth, that's right!
Wobbuffet!
Team Rocket! Not you again!
Team Rocket?
They're bad guys who try to steal people's Pokémon!
Does that mean you're not real chefs?
I'm sorry, ma'am, but this is our day job.
But you don't have to pay us for today.
These are the tools of the Team Rocket trade!
What did you say?No way!
And now we go into act two!
Pumpka! Pumpkaboo!
Don't move a twerpish inch!
Not if you wanna keep these lugs safe!
You cowards!
Well duh, we're bad guys!
If you want to save your friends,
Pikachu, let's make a deal.
Join up with Team Rocket.
We keep it real!
Wob, Wobba, Wob!
Pika. That's gotta be a joke!
Bulbasaur, hang in there!
Charmander, use Flamethrower!
You've gotta rip that vine apart!
We've got to get them out!
[Jessie] Aww, what will you do?
They all look rather sleepy to me...
'Kay, Pikachu. Over here on the double!
Pikachu!We'll get everyone
out of there safely, no doubt!
Go, Bunnelby!
Bunnelby!
'Kay, Ash, now!Right!
Froakie, go!
Froakie!
Fennekin, you too!
Kin, Kin, Kin...
Okay, Inkay, Psybeam!
Pumpkaboo, Shadow Ball!Pumpka...
Quick, Froakie, use your Frubbles, now!
Froakie!
Use Scratch, Fennekin!
Fennekin!
All right, Froakie, Use cut!
Kie!
Now, Pikachu, wrap it up with Thunderbolt!
Pika! Pikachu!
We were really on a roll...
At least cooking brought us in
some extra funds.
Too bad we didn't bring them!
Wobba!
[all] We're blasting off again!
Wobbuffet!
Pumpka!
Oh, what a crying shame.
And to think they were such talented chefs...
Glad you're okay!
Thanks to all of you.
We owe you so very much!
And now it's time for the finals.
This is gonna be fun!
Now teams, are you all ready
for our final battle?
On my whistle, let's go!
[whistle blows]
Pikachu!
Char!
Here we come.
Use Quick Attack!Pika!
Not so fast...
Charmander, use Flamethrower!
Charmander!
All right, Fennekin,
protect Pikachu with Flamethrower!
Fennekin!
Pi, Pi, Pi, Pi!
Pi, Pi, Pi, Pi, Pi, Pi!
Use Rapid Spin on Pikachu, go!
Squirtle!Pi!
Pika!
Now, use Water g*n on Fennekin!
Squirtle! Squirtle!
They don't waste a step. Squirtle can move!
Now, Chespin, use Vine Whip on Squirtle!
Chespin!
Dodge that!Squirtle!
Use Flame Burst on Chespin!
Charmander!
Ches!Pika! Pi...
Pikachu!You just saw
Flame Burst's additional effect!
You see, Flame Burst can cause damage
to multiple targets!
Now, Razor Leaf!
Bulbasaur!
Pika!
Ches...Pika...
They're gonna try to finish this.
They're really strong!
Squirtle, Squirtle,Look at Squirtle's
rhythmic dancing.Squirtle...
Just like it did before!
They're using it to mount their attack.
Rhythm...
Man, are they good at that.
Looks like Squirtle's steps
have them not knowing what to do next.
It's all in the moves.
What can they do?
Kin...Chespin!
We've gotta break their rhythm.
But how?
Bulbasaur, stand by for Solar Beam!
Saur! Saur...
We've gotta do something
to buy a little time until
that Solar Beam's all charged up!
Well, all right, Squirtle!
Aqua Tail on Fennekin, let's rock!
Squirtle!
Fennekin, use Hidden Power!
Fennekin!
Fennekin!
Fennekin!
[Sycamore] Fennekin's unable to battle!
Fennekin, return!
Now, Charmander, Flamethrower!
Mander!
Dodge it, Pikachu!Pika!
We're all charged up! Use Solar Beam!
Saur!Pikachu, dodge it!
Pika, Pika!
Now, Chespin, Vine Whip!
Chespin!
Pika, Pika!
That was some combination!
I thought we had a direct hit!
Pikachu! Thunderbolt on Charmander!
Pikachu!
Char...
[Sycamore] Charmander is unable to battle!
'Kay, return.
Thanks, Charmander. Get a good rest.
Don't worry, I'll get them back for you!
Use Rapid Spin!
Squirtle!
Ash, now it's time for us to wrap this thing up!
Use Vine Whip!Chespin!
Yeah, all right, Pikachu!
Use Electro Ball!
Pika! Pika, Pika, Pika, Chu, Pi!
Squirtle, dodge it, quick!
Squirtle!
Bulba!
Bulbasaur! Bulbasaur is unable to battle!
Saur...
Chespin!
Pi, Pika!
Nice combination, guys, but we're not done!
Aqua Tail!
Squirtle!
Pika!
Pikachu, Use Thunderbolt!
Pika...
Chu!
[whistle blowing]
And that's the end of it!
Team Froakie is our winning team!
And that means...
You'll be in the hall of fame!
Fen! Chespin! Congratulations
Pika!to Team Froakie!
Now let's give a big round of applause
to our runners-up... Team Squirtle!
[applause]
Hall of fame! Hall of fame!
We did it, yay!
Yeah but, Fennekin...
[Ash] Don't worry, Serena!
Fennekin may have lost today,
but you can always use that to get stronger!
Pikachu!Chespin!
Fenn? Fennekin!
You were so awesome, Squirtle.
Squirtle!
Don't worry, Squirtle.
It's okay to cry!
Nice battling, Bulbasaur.
Bulb, Bulbasaur!
We'll get you back next time!
Okay, Ash?
Okay!
Pika, Pikachu!
We've got a great surprise for you...
On our summer camp's final night,
these fireworks
will help us celebrate our week of memories.
Marvelous!
Hey, Tierno?
Thinking about our last battle...
Can you show me your battle style again?
Squirtle!
You mean the way it moves and grooves?
Uh-huh.
I've never seen a battling style
like that before.
If we can learn how to battle like that,
I think we'll be a lot stronger.
No doubt!
See, I'm gonna be challenging the Shalour Gym.
I'm sure your battling style
would be really effective at
a Fighting-type Gym like Shalour.
A gym battle, I get it, yeah.
Why don't you show him?
Moving and grooving like you do in battle is so cool!
Not to mention a rhythmic battling style like that
is really one of a kind.
As far as I can see, by doing those dance steps
and constantly moving around,
it creates such smooth transitions
between attacking and dodging!
That's right! See, it started out
when I was thinking about how to make moves flow better
when a Pokémon uses them,
and I came up with this way to do it.
Squirtle, Squirtle, Squirtle, Squirtle...
Incorporating dance steps in our battle lets us read
our opponent's movements and makes it easier
for us to make them battle at our pace. Squirtle!
[both] Oh, wow! Awesome!
And to tell the truth, I also had Tierno
teach me some dance moves as well.
I'm trying to use it as part of my performance.
You're kidding me!
That's so cool! I wanna see!
Okay, Ash. I'll teach you how to move and groove.
Thanks a lot, Tierno!
Okay, everybody. Come on out!
Froakie!Cha!
You've gotta move it, too.
Whaddaya mean me?Yeah, you!
The most important thing is for trainer and Pokémon
to become one.
It won't work unless
you're moving and grooving together.
I guess...Pika!
Pika, Pika!
Squirt! Squirtle, Squirtle, Squirtle!
Pi, Pi, Pi, Pi...Yeah!
Ready to rock!
First, the basics, 'kay?
Wingull!Wingull!
Wingull, Wingull!
Campers! I hereby announce
that the official closing of this season's
Pokémon summer camp is upon us!
Everyone, give yourselves a round of applause!
[applause]
I sincerely hope from the bottom of my heart
that the experience all of you marvelous trainers
gained as you competed alongside your Pokémon
will be truly memorable, as well as invaluable!
May your journeys be rich, and full.
And keep traveling onward and upward
along with your Pokémon!
Hey Ash! Make sure you work on everything
I showed you last night!
You bet!
I hope you follow through.
I'm a little worried.
Come on. I'll be just fine!
I guess it's time to go.
Yeah, you're right,
though it's never easy to say good-bye...
Serena? See you at the Pokémon Showcase!
Okay!
See you then!Dedenne, Dedenne!
Of course, we're all rivals now.
For sure!
Later! Take care!
Let's battle again soon!
Pika, Pika!
[Narrator] And so, the curtain comes down on
Professor Sycamore's Pokémon summer camp,
where Trainers and their Pokémon
strengthened their bonds by competing
and interacting with others.
Will Ash be able to use Tierno's unique battling style
to help him win his Gym battle against Korrina?
The answer to come, as the journey continues!
