18x03 - An undersea place to call home!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR During their journey across the Kalos region

our heroes visited the Muraille Coast

before Ash's battle against Grant at the Cyllage City Gym.

There was more training to come

but first, time for a delicious lunch.

That was great. Thanks. Now time to train!

Let's do some more work on Quick Attack and Double Team

so we can be ready for Grant's Rock Tomb!

[AGREEMENT]

Before that, why don't we have a little fun with this?

ASH 'Huh?'

'That's one of the rods we got at Ambrette Aquarium.'

Yup! We are at the beach.

Too much training will only stress you out!

She's right.

And maybe you'll catch a really, really cute Pokémon!

Right, like with that Corsola!

You already have a Froakie, Ash

but if you catch another Water type

you'll probably have a much easier time

when you go up against Grant, who uses Rock types!

Now you're talking! Great! What do you say we get our rod?

[AGREEMENT]

Can't wait to see what Pokémon I'll catch.

I'm sure it'll be great!

Huh? I got a bite!

[EXCITED]

Man, this thing's pretty strong!

- Ah! - Oh, goody, goody!

What could it be? Corsola, s Clamperl or a Wailord?

[grunting] I'm gonna catch it no matter what! Ah!

[grunts] Ah!

- Whoa! - Look at that!

Huh?

Too bad. It's just a bunch of kelp.

Not true. He really caught something.

Huh? Uh!

ASH AN UNDERSEA PLACE TO CALL HOME!

[screaming]

Ah! That hurt's, man!

I didn't know you were a Pokémon!

- Hey, it's hurt! - Huh?

Wait, I've got a bandage.

Um, there. It'll be fine now.

[giggling]

- Whoa! - Huh? Huh?

[CONFUSED]

Skrelp, the Mock Kelp Pokémon.

'Skrelp camouflages itself as rotten kelp'

'while it stores up energy until it's able to evolve.'

Huh? I've never seen a Skrelp before.

[ANGRY]

[all screaming]

Why is it so mad?

Maybe it thinks we're its enemies.

- We're not! - Pikachu, wait.

[DETERMINED]

[PAINED]

- Ah! - Pikachu, no!

Pikachu, are you okay?

[UPSET]

- Pikachu! - He needs to get help!

- The Pokémon Center, now! - Right!

Hi. Is something wrong?

My Pikachu was att*cked and got hurt!

Huh? It looks like it's been badly poisoned.

Ah, your Pikachu needs to be treated right now!

'There should be an antidote in the first-aid kit.'

'That should do it.'

[RELIEVED]/[EXCITED]

Pikachu!

[EXCITED]

You're alright.

- Thank you so much! - I'm glad we were able to help.

Hi, my name is Ash.

You already met my partner, Pikachu.

[EXCITED]

Hi there. I'm Serena.

My name's Bonnie. This is Dedenne!

That's my brother.

Hi! My name's Clemont.

My name's Eddy.

- And this is my wife. - I'm Lindsey.

Nice to meet you. Eddy and I are underwater archeologists.

Wow! Underwater archeologists!

So are you exploring these waters?

Yes. We'll be diving out in that area today.

[all gasp]

PIKACHU [CURIOUS]

EDDY 'Apparently there's a sunken ship called the Cussler'

'somewhere in the vicinity.'

- Ah! - That sounds familiar.

Didn't the Cussler crash into an iceberg long ago?

That's right. The Cussler was a luxury liner.

[intense music]

CLEMONT Wait, I thought the Cussler sank

way, way out into the ocean.

So why would it be all the way over here

near the Muraille Coast?

- Probably due to the currents. - The currents?

Several ocean currents are known to intersect right here

on the Muraille Coast.

It creates a very complex current system.

LINDSEY We believe that a current carried the Cussler

all the way here to the Muraille Coast.

Ah!

LINDSEY 'Our present research'

'has one goal'

to find the Cussler and identify the current

that brought it here.

It's promising to be a very busy day today!

Ocean exploration's so cool! It sounds fun!

Is there any chance that we could go along with you?

We'll help you with anything!

With my invention expertise, I'm certain I can help.

- Um? Hm. - Um? Hm.

Alright. You'd be a big help!

We're actually a bit short-handed.

But you need to remember that it might be dangerous out there.

So you'll have to listen to us. Is that a deal?

CLEMONT/BONNIE/SERENA/ASH Deal!

The Cussler, eh?

The luxury liner that sank

while carrying priceless treasures onboard.

If we can get our paws on that boat booty

we'll never have to balance our checkbook again!

[giggles]

Just imagine it, we'll be awash in wealth!

- Let's claim ours today! - Yay!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[all gasping]

Those complex currents are creating those giant whirlpools.

Lindsey, it's almost time.

Alright. Everyone watch closely.

- Got ya! - Huh?

- Oh, look at that! - The whirlpools!

They're gone!

[CURIOUS]

EDDY 'The intersecting currents'

'that create those whirlpools'

'change regularly.'

As usual, they're right on schedule.

You shouldn't be seeing them for a while now.

'Alright, we're here. Let's get ready to dive!'

Wow! Are you gonna dive down in this submarine?

- That's correct. - Hey, can we all go with you?

Huh?

That'd be awesome!

- It'd be so much fun! - Huh?

Um, well, our submarine's not very large

and there's only room for two other people to get inside.

- Aww. - No problem!

I know how we can decide who gets to go, fair and square!

[chuckles]

The future is now, thanks to science!

'Clemontic Gear on!'

'I call it my No-Hard-Feelings Fair-And-Square-Lottery Device.'

ASH 'Science is so amazing!'

Choose left or right, and my lottery device

will take the guesswork out of who goes and decide it for you!

- Cool! So I'll choose left! - I'll choose left, too!

In that case, I'm going to pick right!

Okay, then I'll go with my brother!

CLEMONT 'Lottery, go!'

ASH 'Come on! Don't lose!'

- Go! - Go! Go!

- Come on! Go! - 'Go!'

- Yeah, we won! - Alright, we won!

Aww. And we lost.

I was counting on you!

CLEMONT 'Well, science determined our fate, fair and square.'

'So no hard feelings.'

- Alright, off we go! - Good luck. You'll do great.

- Be careful! - Hm.

[EXCITED]

- Have fun, guys! - Take care of yourself!

This is Lindsey. Eddy, do you copy?

Affirmative. You're loud and clear.

And the video is clear, too.

Great. Continuing to our destination.

[gasps]

I can't believe all the Qwilfish.

There's a bunch of Octillery over here.

[EXCITED]

SERENA 'Wow! Look at all the Water-type Pokémon.'

'This is so totally amazing!'

We're down really deep.

We'll soon see the bottom of the ocean.

- Huh? Is that the same Skrelp? - I think you're right.

ASH 'Look! The bandage!'

I'm so glad it found its friends.

Yeah.

[screaming]

Lindsey, what's going on?

We're being swept along by the current!

Uh-oh. Hold on tight!

[screaming]

EDDY 'So it is there!'

Our theory about the current is proving to be correct!

[gasps] Lindsey, look out!

- It's so close! - Don't worry!

I'll handle things.

Oh! We're alright.

Good thing. Hey, look at that group of Skrelp!

SERENA 'They're following the sunken ship!'

[gasps] Alright. Hang on!

ASH/SERENA 'Right!'

- Oh, wow! - Oh, wow!

I see it.

EDDY The Milotic emblem!

There's no doubt that liner is the Cussler.

LINDSEY 'Right!'

[giggling] Wow, what a discovery!

We're now witnessing history in the making

right before our very eyes!

Who's that Pokémon?

Dragalge. The Mock Kelp Pokémon and the evolved form of Skrelp.

'Dragalge look very much like drifting kelp'

'when they are swimming with the current.'

[EXERTION]

Huh? What are those two up to?

'Are they fusing the ships together?'

[EXERTION]

SERENA 'It's a group of Luvdisc!'

Look! Remoraid and Chinchou are coming out, too!

[EXCITED]

[EXERTION]

EDDY 'Amazing, isn't it?'

The current carries sunken ships from faraway oceans.

Once they get here, the Dragalge fuse them together

using acid to create one gigantic structure.

Then all the Pokémon are able to use

that structure as their home!

That's right.

They live together like one happy family!

[CURIOUS]

SERENA 'They all get along so well, don't they?'

They really like hanging out!

[AGREEMENT]

Wow. It's like a Pokémon paradise.

Wonderful! Huh! What's that?

- Huh? - Huh?

[WORRIED]

LINDSEY 'Light!'

SERENA 'What's it from?'

GROUP Who's that Pokémon?

GROUP It's Skrelp.

[EXERTION]

EDDY 'What is it, Lindsey?'

I need to investigate a strange light coming from the Cussler.

EDDY 'Right. Be careful.'

Ah! It's Team Rocket's submarine!

Team Rocket?

They're bad guys who steal other people's Pokémon!

So what is Team Rocket doing there?

They just went inside the old ship!

I think we should follow them.

LINDSEY 'Right.'

Gettin' in was easy peasy.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Now to locate the treasure.

The treasure is in a safe just up ahead.

All valuables were stored in there.

Not for long.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[EXERTION]

Uh! They're not here. Which way did they go?

[WORRIED]

- Huh? - Is something wrong?

Skrelp and Dragalge!

[screaming]

Stop it! We're on your side. Promise!

[AGREEMENT]

[EXERTION]

Hey, thanks, Skrelp.

[EXERTION]

They're showing us which way to go!

Pick, pick here, pick, pick there.

I'm done first!

- Well, so are we. - Wow!

On the other side of this door..

A treasure trove of treasure awaits!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

- Ah! Hey! - What was that?

SKRELP [EXERTION]

Oh. It's a Skrelp.

It's telling us to scram out of its digs

or we're gonna pay!

Hah! You're confused. We're going to get paid!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Stop right there! We caught you guys red-handed!

What is the meaning of you breaking into this ship?

Prepare for trouble, the meaning is clear.

But it isn't something you'll want to hear.

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 one Wailord-sized fight!

Meowth, that's right!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

JAMES 'If you had half a brain between you'

'you'd know we're here for sunken treasure!'

We're gonna balance our checkbook

on the back of the beautiful bounty on this boat!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Sunken treasure?

How do you think you're gonna get away with that?

You're so dense. Watch and learn.

MEOWTH 'The latest in bank robberosity!'

In mere moments this safe is going to blast off.

And that blast off will be a good thing!

- Ah! - Ah!

[all coughing]

- Where are you going? - Come back!

No! It's dangerous!

Froakie, come out and follow Skrelp!

[APPEARING]

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[WORRIED]

Hope they'll be alright.

- We've got to leave! - Huh?

If that expl*si*n opens up a hole

water will flood the whole area!

Hurry!

PIKACHU [WORRIED]

[rumbling]

- One treasure, coming up. - Yes. Let's reel her in!

- Ah? Not you! - Not you who?

[screaming]

[EXERTION]

Yet another eyesore!

You're blocking my view!

'Off, off, off, off, off, off, off, off!'

The Cussler is filling with water.

The entire structure is starting to become unbalanced.

I'm afraid that it's going to collapse.

No!

We've got to do something

to keep that from happening!

[AGREEMENT]

Everyone, we need your help!

[EXERTION]

[EXERTION]

[EXERTION]

[PAINED]

JAMES 'The safe is safe!'

- 'Surface, stat!' - 'Aye, aye!'

[WORRIED]

[EXERTION]

- Awesome! - Yeah! Hope they keep it up!

Just a little more.

[EXERTION]

ASH 'Lindsey, use that plate to seal the hole.'

LINDSEY 'Got it!'

ASH 'Now, Dragalge, use Acid!'

[ACID MOVE]

Great, that should prevent anymore water

from flooding the ship.

The structure should stop collapsing, too.

- Alright! - Alright!

[EXCITED]

EDDY 'Great job.'

- 'That was a tough one.' - Eddy!

But you're all safe and sound.

And that's what matters to me the most.

'It's time. The whirlpools are going to appear again soon.'

LINDSEY 'Right!'

Success! Have treasure, will travel!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Yeah, now we'll have balanced books

'and be off those tenterhooks!'

[EXERTION]

Hm! Huh? Uh, is something swirling out there?

- Huh? - Eh?

- Over there, too! - Uh-oh.

JESSIE 'There's another one! Ah!'

[all screaming]

JESSIE 'We're spinning faster and faster!'

MEOWTH 'I'm getting dizzier and dizzier!'

[screaming]

JESSIE 'We dropped the safe!'

- Butterfingers! - The scent of regret lingers.

TEAM ROCKET We're blasting off again!

WOBBUFFET [AFFIRMATIVE]

Uh, where are Skrelp and Froakie?

[WORRIED]

Oh, no!

Even Water types can't withstand a whirlpool.

Now what?

Froakie, you've got to jump!

[WORRIED]

[WORRIED]

[EXERTION]

Now, Froakie, big jump!

[EXERTION]

Ah..

[giggles]

Froakie.

[HAPPY]

- Great! - They did it!

[EXCITED]

- Hm. - Thank goodness!

Perfect!

Froakie, you were awesome!

Skrelp, you were awesome, too!

[EXCITED]

[HAPPY]

ASH Bye, Skrelp! Bye, Dragalge!

SERENA Take care of your home!

And all of those friends of yours!

PIKACHU [EXCITED]

[AGREEMENT]

- Take good care, Skrelp. - Hope we see you again!

[AGREEMENT]

Happily we were able to figure out

which current brought the Cussler

and successfully pinpoint its location, too.

What surprised me the most

was seeing all those Pokémon living together.

That was some discovery.

And Skrelp's okay, thanks to your jump!

You're such a cool Pokémon!

[AGREEMENT]

The height of that jump was just incredible!

Wow! You should be really proud of yourself!

That was some jump.

[AGREEMENT]

Hey, maybe we could use that in our Gym battle against Grant.

That's it! Of course we can!

[HAPPY]

NARRATOR And so Froakie's brilliance rescued Skrelp

from the whirlpool and also gave Ash an idea

for his battle at the Cyllage City Gym

the next stop on our heroes' journey!
