BONNIE: Made it!
ASH: Hey Bonnie, slow it down.
CLEMONT: You could hurt yourself!
BONNIE: I'm fine! I'm fine!
CLEMONT: Look at these decorations
SERENA: Maybe it's a festival.
ASH: They sure are in a hurry
BONNIE: Hi!
ASH: Anybody here?
NURSE JOY: Hello and welcome to the Pokémon Center!
NURSE JOY: What can I do for you?
NURSE JOY: Of course! You must be new here. You've
arrived right in the middle of our Gourgeist Festival!
BONNIE: Gourgeist Festival?
NURSE JOY: Yes. All the townsfolk simply adore it! See?
Everyone likes to dress up in costumes.
BONNIE: Whee! That sounds like fun!
CLEMONT: That's what those kids were doing.
SERENA: Do you think maybe we could join in, too?
NURSE JOY: Please do!
ASH: Awesome! Let's all do it!
CLEMONT: What do you think we should dress up as?
SERENA: You just leave that to me.
CHESPIN!
CLEMONT: Chespin, you look great.
BONNIE: Ludi! Colo! Yay!
Wowá*! You look so cute as a Corphish!
SERENA: Ta-da! I'm a Florges!
PIKACHU
SERENA: If you're not holding your ears down, you won't
look as much like a Psyduck.
PIKACHU?
ASH: YESS! Everybody ready for the Gourgeist Festival?!
ASH: YEAH!!
You're just a kid on a quest
To be the best of the best
Someday you're destined for power and glory
You know you're up to the test
There's only one way to tell this story
Be a hero!
Be a hero!
All the power is at your command
Face your fears and show you're a hero
The future of the world is in your hand
Pokémon!
NARRATOR: Our heroes continue on their way to Anistar City,
where Ash will battle for his seventh Kalos Gym badge.
FESTIVAL CROWD
SERENA: Wow
BONNIE: So pretty!
LITTLE GIRL: Hi! Here you go!
BONNIE: What's this?
LITTLE GIRL: Oh. See, here in the Gourgeist Festival...
LITTLE BOY: we all trade yummy treats with one another!
BONNIE: So it's more than costumes...
SERENA: Wow. Well, in that case... Here. For you!
LITTLE GIRL: Thank you!
SERENA: I brought plenty for everyone.
ASH: Yeah! Then let's trade a whole lot!
PIKACHU
BONNIE: Oh boy! Let's see how much we can trade!
DEDENNE
JESSIE: Pikachu's here, too...
It's almost like they created this festival just for us.
MEOWTH: This Banette Yeah, this Banette costume rocks! The only
problem is it's hard to talk with the zipper zipped.
WOBBUFFET
INKAY
MEOWTH: Dressing up like Pikachu is your thing.
JAMES: Wearing that costume a second time signals a trend.
JESSIE: All right, let's seize the moment and grab
Pikachu once and for all!
JAMES: Yes, let's!
WOBBUFFET
COUNT: Excellent!
COUNT: A truly remarkable Pumpkaboo!
PRINCE PUMPKABOO
COUNT: Here. Take a look at this, Prince Pumpkaboo.
PRINCE PUMPKABOO
COUNT: Do you like what you see?
JAMES: First off... when do you think we should strike?
JESSIE: Who are they?!
MEOWTH: Don't look at me!
JAMES: Pokémon perhaps?!
JESSIE: Who or what are you?! We don't have any treats
STEWARD'S VOICE: Gourgeist, that's enough.
STEWARD: I'm so very sorry if we frightened you.
STEWARD: I'm the steward of that castle you see there. I'm here
on behalf of the count, who as lord of the castle would like
you to pay him a visit.
JESSIE: You're kidding, right?
STEWARD: Oh no. We have a fine dinner waiting as well.
JESSIE: It might be more fun to grab Pikachu after a good meal.
MEOWTH: Right with ya.
MEOWTH: Ow!
JESSIE: We'd LOVE to take you up on your offer!
COUNT: I'm sorry for the short notice.
Count Pumpka's the name. I trust our sudden invitation was fine?
JESSIE: Lovely!
COUNT: I've asked you all here for a single, simple reason.
I have something to discuss regarding your Pumpkaboo.
JESSIE: My Pumpkaboo?
COUNT: It's a very rare Pumpkaboo indeed.
Why, I've never seen one so large before.
JESSIE: We've got a rare Pumpkaboo?
JAMES: I'll do research.
Pumpkaboo come in all different sizes.
Apparently, yours is the super-sized one.
JESSIE: That's news to me.
COUNT: Actually, my prince laid its royal eyes on your
Pumpkaboo first...
PUMPKABOO?
PRINCE PUMPKABOO!
COUNT: The prince would like to become friends.
JESSIE: Friends? Don't tell me you're a girl
PUMPKABOO
JAMES: You didn't know that?!
JESSIE: No. So sue me.
JESSIE: It seems to me we're holding all of the cards, right.
MEOWTH: We've got the advantage, too.
JESSIE: Let's make good use of it.
JAMES: Good meaning what?
JESSIE: My dear count!
JESSIE: I have a teensy-weensy favor to ask of you.
JESSIE: Our Pumpkaboo is being chased by a group
of very bad people.
COUNT: Oh MY! Though it's so lovely, I'm not surprised.
JESSIE: They're villains who enjoy stealing other people's
Pokémon. They've even stolen one of our favorite Pokémon already.
COUNT: Dear! What Pokémon would that be?
JESSIE: Pikachu!
COUNT: Pikachu?
JAMES: This is simply our Inkay dressed up as Pikachu.
INKAY
JESSIE: And now they're coming after my Pumpkaboo.
It's just wrong! Please, Count!
Bring the hammer of justice down on their pointy, crooked heads!
Please help our little Pikachu to be returned to us.
JESSIE: And if you do...then perhaps
PUMPKABOO!
JESSIE: Just perhaps...
COUNT: You're so right!
Despicable criminals must be punished!
JESSIE: Thank you. A royally wise choice.
JAMES: Say. That was sheer brilliance.
JESSIE: Now we'll be able to steal Pikachu and enjoy
a sumptuous meal, all at the very same time.
MEOWTH: Multitasking. Yeah!
WOBBUFFET
BONNIE: Look at all I got!
CLEMONT: Now don't eat all that at once.
BONNIE: Hey, I'm not dumb.
ASH: Who's that?
POKEDEX: Gourgeist. The Pumpkin Pokémon, and the evolved form of
Pumpkaboo. Gourgeist wander through town at the new moon,
surrounding their prey with their arms, which resemble hair.
ASH: Who are you?!
STEWARD: I want you to hand over that Pikachu peacefully,
you criminals!
SERENA: Pikachu?
ASH: What do you mean?!
STEWARD: Gourgeist! Shadow Ball!
ASH: Hey! Cut it out!
CLEMONT: This has to be a misunderstanding!
ASH: Iron Tail!
PIKACHU
PIKACHU
CLEMONT: Now! Bunnelby, Dig!
BUNNELBY
CLEMONT: Bunnelby, Mud Shot!
BUNNELBY
GOURGEIST
SERENA: All right, Pancham, go!
SERENA: Stone Edge!
PANCHAM
GOURGEIST
STEWARD: Shadow Ball, Now!
GOURGEIST
CHESPIN!
PANCHAM!
BUNNELBY!
SERENA: Pancham, no!
CLEMONT: Bunnelby!
GOURGEIST
STEWARD: Now we'll be taking that Pikachu back!
ASH: What?!
ASH: No way! Pikachu's my Hey! Come back right now!
ASH: Pikachu
PIKACHU
ASH: Pikachu?
SERENA: But you heard what that man said
CLEMONT: He said he was taking Pikachu back.
PIKACHU
ASH: I'm glad you're all right.
BONNIE: Bunnelby's okay, too.
SERENA: Pancham, too!
CLEMONT: But Chespin's--gone!
ASH: You don't think they could have stolen Chespin, do you?
PIKACHU?
CHESPIN?
STEWARD: Here. Your Pikachu, ma'am.
JESSIE: Success! We caught Pikachu!
JAMES: Quiet DOWN!
JAMES: We're so glad to have you back, Pikachu dear!
COUNT: Since I held up my end of the bargain, it's now your turn.
So please, give me what you agreed to.
FLETCHINDER!
ASH: Where's Chespin?
FLETCHINDER
ASH: In that castle, up there? Right!
CLEMONT: We'll get you out of there, Chespin, promise!
ASH: "Who's that Pokémon?"
ASH: "It's Gourgeist!"
COUNT: Now, if I may be so bold, there's something I'd like
to discuss with you.
PRINCE PUMPKABOO
COUNT: I would like your Pumpkaboo to marry Prince
Pumpkaboo and become Princess Pumpkaboo.
JESSIE: Why of course!
PUMPKABOO?
JAMES: Great. We'll trade Pumpkaboo for Pikachu...
ASH: Stop!
CLEMONT: I want my Chespin back NOW!
CHESPIN?
STEWARD: They're villains.
COUNT: Is that so?! You're criminals!
ASH: What are you talking about?!
BONNIE: Stop your whispering and give us back Chespin!
COUNT: What Chespin?
STEWARD: I don't understand.
BONNIE: I mean that Chespin. The one in the cage!
CHESPIN?
JESSIE: What is this?!
JAMES: Chespin was in disguise all the time!
COUNT: Steward!
STEWARD: Count, I will retrieve Pikachu straight away.
Gourgeist!
ASH: It's them again.
ASH: Pikachu, let's go!
PIKACHU
CLEMONT: Bunnelby, let's fix this!
SERENA: Right, Braixen, come out!
ASH: Dodge and use Electro Ball!
PIKACHU
STEWARD: Shadow Ball!
GOURGEIST
CLEMONT: Use Mud Shot!
BUNNELBY
GOURGEIST
STEWARD: Gourgeist, use Shadow Ball, now!
GOURGEIST
SERENA: Dodge, then Flamethrower!
BRAIXEN
GOURGEIST
STEWARD: This isn't over.
GOURGEIST
SERENA: Use Hidden Power!
BRAIXEN
ASH: Quick, Thunderbolt!
PIKACHU
CLEMONT: Bunnelby, Wild Charge!
BUNNELBY
GOURGEIST
JESSIE: Get Pikachu! What are you waiting for?!
COUNT: Now!
STEWARD: Sir.
CLEMONT: Give me back my Chespin!
COUNT: You villains will be quiet until our
business is concluded.
COUNT: So, now that Pikachu has been caught Let's continue
with what we were talking about.
JESSIE: I don't remember
MEOWTH: That's called a Pokémon Trade Machine.
COUNT: We will trade my Pokémon for your Pumpkaboo.
JESSIE: Trade for my Pumpkaboo?
COUNT: As you promised.
JESSIE: Pumpkaboo and I have shared countless hours together!
Memories-- the good times and the bad
You don't just throw all of that away, you know!
Now look!
Our friendship cannot be traded away!!
PUMPKABOO
ASH: Whoa.
CLEMONT: Wait a minute.
CLEMONT: I know that this cage has been electrified...
CLEMONT: But if we can short it out...
SERENA: That's a great idea!
COUNT: After considering what you've said
COUNT: Then how about making a trade for this Mawile?
MAWILE
JESSIE: I wouldn't do that if you paid me!
My Pumpkaboo and I are connected by our hearts!
JAMES: The bond between Pokémon and Trainer is everlasting!
PUMPKABOO
COUNT: I think you should be aware Mawile is one of the few
Pokémon who can Mega Evolve.
JESSIE: Mega Evolve?
JESSIE: Mega Evolve! Step on it!
JESSIE: Right!
JESSIE: So let's make that trade!
JAMES: What about the bond between Pokémon and Trainer?
PUMPKABOO?!
PUMPKABOO
MEOWTH: Pumpkaboo likes the prince, too, and wants to stay
here, so you should go ahead and make with that trade.
COUNT: Oh, that's just wonderful!
JESSIE: Of all the nerve
And after everything I've done for you!
PUMPKABOO
JESSIE: What?!
PUMPKABOO!
JAMES: You know, this is getting a tad ugly.
MEOWTH: And how.
JESSIE: Fine with me! It's a deal!
PUMPKABOO
COUNT: All right. Then let's trade!
JESSIE: Ready.
COUNT: Trade complete!
COUNT: Excellent! Now it's time. Pumpkaboo, come forth!
PUMPKABOO
ASH: Is thatwhat I think?
BONNIE: Maybe it's evolving
JESSIE: Pumpkaboo! You picked a fine time to do that!
GOURGEIST
JESSIE: Pumpkaboo's a Gourgeist now.
COUNT: Indeed! It must have undergone an Exchange Evolution!
GOURGEIST
COUNT: Ooh
PRINCE PUMPKABOO
COUNT: This is awful!
The prince preferred Pumpkaboo before it evolved.
JESSIE : What did you say?!
JESSIE: This is no joke!
You said that we'd trade, so I did it in spite of my pain!!
JAMES: In fact, you really couldn't wait
JESSIE: Just because it evolved, you want to call it all off?!
Now please.
JAMES: True, true.
WOBBUFFET
MEOWTH: But I can dig how Prince Pumpkaboo feels.
The very same thing happened to me back in the day.
JESSIE: Ahoy! Now hear this, little prince!
Do you have any idea how wonderful my Pumpkaboo has been?
JESSIE: I remember when I was burning up with a fever
Pumpkaboo took care of me the whole night through!
JESSIE: Grating berriesand then spoon-feeding them to me.
JESSIE: When everyone else forgot my birthday,
Pumpkaboo was the only one who celebrated with me.
PUMPKABOO
JESSIE: Thank you. You're so sweet.
JESSIE: Now that I think about it...
Pumpkaboo and I are meant to be together until the end of time!
JESSIE: This is a story of love between a Trainer
and her Pokémon!
JESSIE: I'm sorry, Gourgeist.
I'm sorry for what I said before...
GOURGEIST!
JAMES: This is so confusing.
JESSIE: Give it back. What good is Gourgeist to you now anyway?!
COUNT: I suppose so
JESSIE: Aww. Awww! You're home! So come on out, Gourgeist!
GOURGEIST
JESSIE: Gourgeist!
GOURGEIST
JESSIE: I'm sorry. Let's stay together forever!
GOURGEIST
MEOWTH: It doesn't get any better than this, you know?
JESSIE: This is the true bond between Pokémon and Trainer.
MEOWTH: Guess all's well that ends well
JAMES: Yes... and ending well ends well for us.
COUNT: This was simply an issue between the two of them that
couldn't be resolved.
JESSIE: Yeah, whatever. We'll be on our way!
JAMES: Remember, we got a lovely meal, so it was worthwhile.
JESSIE: And our bond grew stronger!
GOURGEIST?!
ASH: Stop!
CLEMONT: We want Chespin back!
JESSIE: Chespin?
CHESPIN
JESSIE: What do you mean?! I'll have you know it belongs to us!
BONNIE: That's a fake Pikachu! I know what that means...
MEOWTH: All right, you need to get back.
BONNIE: You guys! So it was you after all.
CLEMONT: I get it. Everything makes sense now.
JESSIE : Woohoo!
JESSIE: Prepare for trouble, you aren't so smart!
JAMES: And make it double, we've made it an art!
JESSIE: To protect the world from devastation!
JAMES: To unite all people within our nation!
JESSIE: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
JAMES: To extend our reach to the stars above!
JESSIE: Jessie!
JAMES: And James.
JESSIE: Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!
JAMES: Surrender now or prepare for one confusing fight!
MEOWTH: Meowth, that's right!
WOBBUFFET
SERENA: Team Rocket!
COUNT: Team Rocket?
CLEMONT: Bad guys who steal other people's Pokémon!
COUNT: Bad guys?! So they were the real villains after all!
ASH: Pikachu! Iron Tail!
PIKACHU
JESSIE: Heads up, you Twerps. Listen and LEARN.
JESSIE: If you depend on Mega Evolution, your Pokémon will
never ever get stronger. Pay attention. It's most important
to deepen the bond between Trainer, and Pokémon! Right?
JAMES: I fully realize what she said is true...
MEOWTH: But who needs it coming out of her face?
JESSIE: Having said that,
let's deepen our bond with Shadow Ball!
ASH: Dodge it!
PIKACHU
JESSIE: All right, time for Leech Seed!
ASH: Quick, Pikachu, Iron Tail!
PIKACHU
JAMES: Okay, Inkay! Psybeam, go!
CLEMONT: Bunnelby, dodge it!
CLEMONT: Double Slap!
CLEMONT: Chespin!
CLEMONT: Are you all right?
CHESPIN
CLEMONT: That's great!
SERENA: No holding back now Flamethrower, now!
ASH: Quick! Pikachu, Thunderbolt!
PIKACHU
JESSIE: Blasting off doesn't bother me this time because my
Gourgeist is here with me!
GOURGEIST
JAMES: Well, well, isn't that sweet.
MEOWTH: And wholesome!
WOBBUFFET
JESSIE: Outta here!
COUNT: I do hope all of you will forgive me! I was tricked.
But there's no excuse for it.
Please let me try to make it up to you.
ASH: Well No prob!
STEWARD: Here you go.
SERENA: Wow! The soup bowls look just like Gourgeist!
ASH: Looks great!
COUNT: Give it a try.
ASH: You BET!
ASH: 'Kay goes!
COUNT: The Gourgeist Festival
always ends with a fireworks display!
BONNIE: Hooray! So pretty!
SERENA: Best fireworks ever!
PIKACHU
NARRATOR: After nearly losing Chespin to Team Rocket, our
heroes are all back together once again. And as soon as the
Gourgeist Festival and all of its fun are over,
the journey will continue!
