19x07 - A Festival of Decisions!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: Our heroes arrived in Sanpei's hometown of

Ninja Village: a lovely, peaceful place filled with

hard-working ninja and Pokémon. And then, a mysterious ninja

force appeared and made off with the village chief, Hanzo!

CLEMONT, BONNIE: Team Rocket!

MEOWTH: Yipes! You try to catch a Pokémon and you

wind up with two Twerps instead!

JESSIE: 'Scuse m Those two don't need a fan club!

PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

BARBARACLE: [APPEARING]

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

BARBARACLE: [INTERESTED]

PIKACHU: [RELIEVED]

ASH: Whoa, check it out!

SANPEI: Saizo, you're here!

SAIZO: So sorry I'm late!

SAIZO: Razor Shell!

BARBARACLE: [RAZOR SHELL MOVE]

BISHARP: [IMPACT GRUNT]

SHINOBU: Ippei!

NIHEI: It's too dangerous! Stay away!

SERENA: Listen to me! Hanzo was just captured by

some mysterious ninja!

IPPEI: They got the chief?!

HEIDAYU: It seems I'm outnumbered. But it looks

like I have also bought enough time. Bisharp, return!

SAIZO: Stop there!

SAIZO: Going after him won't help. Our chief has

fallen into enemy hands, and if we act carelessly, we may lose

our opportunity to save him.

SAIZO: We need to create a plan.

CLEMONT: They're retreating.

BONNIE: Yeah, but why?

SHINOBU: They left because they accomplished what

they came to do.

SAIZO: I'm afraid Kagetomo and his henchmen

kidnapped the chief.

IPPEI: No way!

SHINOBU: Oh no!

ASH: Kagetomo?

PIKACHU: [CURIOUS]

SAIZO: That's right. Kagetomo also used to live

right here in Ninja Village...

IPPEI: I remember him well. He was a very powerful ninja.

KAGETOMO: It's useless. You cannot escape!

HANZO: It would appear so. There's no reason for disguises,

so why not show your face , Kagetomo

KAGETOMO: Still clever. You saw right through my mask.

HANZO: It was easy. Only a person who comes from Ninja

Village would possess the skill to fashion a rope that

is virtually impossible to escape from.

NIHEI: Kagetomo, huh...

IPPEI: Battling him will be very difficult.

ASH: Kagetomo's really that strong?

SAIZO: He was expected to become the next chief. It was his

destiny to become the leader of Ninja Village after Hanzo

stepped down. But then!

HANZO: To continue to train along with and discover

the possibilities of Pokémon to defend the people of the world.

That, and that alone, is the role of the ninja...

KAGETOMO: Ridiculous!

KAGETOMO: I have great power! Overwhelming power

with which to rule the world! Am I wrong!?

HANZO: You flatter yourself.

KAGETOMO: Incorrect. And I vow I will prove it! After I become

leader of the Ninja Village!

HANZO: If you turn your back on our teachings, you will not be

the leader. You will not have the role of chiefand you won't

have the chief's emblem.

SAIZO: And with that, Kagetomo and his follower,

Heidayu, left the village.

SAIZO: After that, Kagetomo and Heidayu trained more ninja and

formed a ninja force. And then

IPPEI: They kidnapped Chief Hanzo!

SAIZO: When I became aware of what the ninja

force was planning to do, I decided to come here to

warn the chief ahead of timebut I was too late.

SERENA: I sure hope he's doing all right

BONNIE: I can't bear thinking of anything bad!

DEDENNE: [UPSET]

SANPEI: I've got to do something! I'm going to

rescue the chief NOW!

ASH: I'll go!

CLEMONT: Think this through, Ash! We have

no idea where Hanzo's being held right now!

SHINOBU: I'm sure Hanzo's just fine.

After all, he is the chief.

IPPEI: The villagers are tracking his whereabouts

right now. Let's see what they come up with.

ASH, SANPEI: Right.

HANZO: Kagetomo? What is it exactly that you want?

The chief's emblem, perhaps?

HANZO: If that's what you desire, it's in my pocket.

Take it.

KAGETOMO: I won't steal it.

HANZO: What?

KAGETOMO: You'll give it to me at the festival. Then you will

announce this to the villagers: "I'm passing the leadership to

Kagetomo." Only then will I let you go free.

HANZO: Even if I agreed to make such a

ridiculous announcement, the villagers would never accept you

as leader in a million years.

KAGETOMO: I'll make them accept me.

KAGETOMO: I'll do it with my power!

HEIDAYU: The villagers have discovered our whereabouts.

They will here shortly Kagetomo.

KAGETOMO: Everything's going as planned. My only need is Ippei.

Intercept them.

HEIDAYU: Right!

VILLAGE MAN-WHITE KERCHIEF: I'm certain it was the chief.

SANPEI: Where did you find him?

VILLAGE MAN-WHITE KERCHIEF: On Otori Mountain.

Not very far from the summit.

IPPEI: Then let's go rescue him NOW!

SAIZO: Wait, hold on!

SAIZO: It's Heidayu!

ASH: So that's him?

PIKACHU: [WONDERING]

HEIDAYU: Don't let them go any further!

NIHEI: Listen to me, Saizo!

Leave them to us and you go rescue the chief!

IPPEI: Then let's go!

HEIDAYU: All right, Bisharp, stop them with X-Scissor GO!

BISHARP: [X-SCISSOR MOVE]

KAGETOMO: Over?!

KAGETOMO: I lost? How?

HANZO: Ippei has something...something that

you do not have. And that thing is devotion.

HANZO: He battles for the dreams of the people. He gives

everything he's got for the future of each and every

Pokémon. Everything. For the people the Pokémon and

the whole world.

HANZO: That is the way of the ninja.

And that is the reason you were defeated.

HANZO: And why you weren't chosen as village leader. My

faith in Ippei's Greninja is unwavering because I knew it

would battle until the very end.

IPPEI: Your Weavile battled well indeed, Kagetomo. It deserves

your praise and respect.

KAGETOMO: Ippei...

WEAVILE: [WHIMPER]

KAGETOMO: You battled very well. Thanks, Weavile.

WEAVILE: [GRATEFUL]

IPPEI: You are indeed a fine ninja. Use your power for the

people, the Pokémon, and for the whole world.

IPPEI: That's excellent, Ash.

I see that your Frogadier evolved as well.

SANPEI: I'm so excited. That makes three of us. All our

Frogadier evolved into Greninja!

ASH: Well, we're gonna get stronger and stronger.

You just wait! We're gonna get even stronger than

the two of you guys!

IPPEI: I look forward to seeing your progress.

ASH: Thanks!

GRENINJA - A: [HAPPY]

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

HANZO: After much consideration, I have decided who will be the

next chief of Ninja Village!

HANZO: And that will be the fine young man standing

next to me. Ippei!

HANZO: So will you be leaving the village, Kagetomo?

KAGETOMO: Yes. I must rededicate my training and

I have a lot to think about.

HANZO: But you could accomplish all of that right here

in Ninja Village, you know.

KAGETOMO: I cannot forget what you both told me. Words of

wisdom. If my power is for the world, I must first see what the

world is. All by myself.

HANZO: Heidayu, is that your plan?

HEIDAYU: I will follow Kagetomo.

Wherever he goes.

IPPEI: Ninja Village will be indeed be waiting for

your return! Don't forget.

KAGETOMO: I promise you.

KAGETOMO: And my ninja Please watch over them.

nearby. You're always welcome.

Kalos Gym badge!

SAIZO: Wait, Ash's Greninja took

on a new appearance?!

NIHEI: Yes but it was only for an instant

IPPEI: And you know what that means. The village hero from

long ago has protected us once again.

HANZO: Greninja. Of course.
