[bunniefuu]

DIANTHA: A Kalos disaster...

OLYMPIA: What form it will take is not clear. But still, I

thought it would be best to warn you, as the vision I had showed

the swirling green flame consuming everyone and

everything. It will affect people and Pokémon alike

throughout the entire Kalos region.

DIANTHA: And you say.Ash and his friends are somehow involved.

DIANTHA: I'd like to please ask you just one more thing.

DIANTHA: What is the deep green eye you saw?

OLYMPIA: What I foresaw was this. Behold!

DIANTHA: Could it be.Zygarde?!

NARRATOR: As our heroes head toward Snowbelle City and

Ash's eighth Kalos Gym battle, he and Greninja are working hard

to learn about staying in control when experiencing

Greninja's mysterious powers.

ASH: Ready?

ASH: Let's go!

ASH: It's pretty hard to dodge anything when you're

moving this fast...

GRENINJA: [AGREEMENT]

GRENINJA: [DODGING]

ASH: Oh, I get it!

So that's how you can dodge like that! Yeah!

ASH: [DODGING]

ASH: All right, I can do it, too!

GRENINJA: [EXERTION]

ASH: And that, too!

GRENINJA: [EXERTION] [QUESTIONING]

GRENINJA: [EXERTION]

ASH: Hey, thanks. I need to do more of this. Then I can

learn.to control that power!

ASH: Let's keep going.

GRENINJA: [AFFIRMATIVE]

BONNIE: They're taking such a long time...

SQUISHY: [QUESTIONING]

CLEMONT: Leave it to Ash to come up with a training

strategy to become a Pokémon.

PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

SERENA: Training hard is fine.But I really wish he

wouldn't overdo it.

BONNIE: Yay! They're back!

SERENA/CLEMONT/PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

BONNIE: And Greninja wins!

SERENA: You can do it, Ash! Just a little more!

BONNIE: Ash comes in second!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

PIKACHU: [QUESTIONING]

ASH: I guess. Oh MAN.Greninja's too fast...

PIKACHU: [AMUSED]

PIKACHU: [QUESTIONING]

SERENA: Ash, here.

ASH: That's great. Thank you.

CLEMONT: So Ash, does it feel like you're catching up to

Greninja a little?

ASH: Yeah! I really think I am, even though it's just

a little bit at a time.

ASH/PIKACHU: [QUESTIONING]

ASH: What's that?

PILOT: Are you certain that those are the ones?

DIANTHA: Yes.

PILOT: All right, I'll take us down.

KATHI LEE: We've got a commercial to sh**t right after

this, so take care, okay? Don't hurt yourself, please!

DIANTHA: Our altitude is low enough. Pick me up later!

KATHI LEE: All right, Diantha!

ASH/SERENA/BONNIE/PIKACHU: [QUESTIONING]

CLEMONT: Are you all right?

DIANTHA: No problems whatsoever!

SQUISHY: [SCARED HIDING]

DIANTHA: Long time, no see!

SERENA/ASH/CLEMONT/BONNIE: Diantha!

KATHI LEE: Don't forget to be careful and try

to stay in one piece!

ASH: Diantha, what are you doing here?

CLEMONT: Is everything all right?

DIANTHA: I just heard Olympia's prediction.

DIANTHA: . so I dropped in to see all of you..

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

JAMES: We follow the Twerps and whom do we find?

MEOWTH: None other than Kalos League Champion and famous movie

superstar, the lovely and talented Diantha!

JESSIE: Such popularity.Beauty. Incredible acting ability!

JESSIE: But, compared to me.it's teensy.

JESSIE: Not even worth competing against!

JESSIE: Got a problem with that?!

WOBBUFFET: [DENYING]

CLEMONT: You mean the Kalos crisis?

DIANTHA: Right. So I started researching everything

I could find.

DIANTHA: Look.

SERENA: What's that?

DIANTHA: It's an island. Once teeming with nature.

SERENA/CLEMONT/PIKACHU: [QUESTIONING]

ASH: Are you sure?

DIANTHA: Yes. And it's not the only one. This is happening all

over the Kalos region.

CLEMONT: But what could it be?!

DIANTHA: So far, we're not entirely sure. But if this

phenomenon is the crisis Olympia mentioned in her prediction,

then Zygarde may already be on the move...

ASH: Zygarde?!

DIANTHA: It's a Pokémon...

JESSIE: Could that be...

JAMES: The one that those g*ons with the goofy eyewear wanted!

JESSIE/MEOWTH: Yeah.

DIANTHA: Zygarde, the Order Pokémon. They say it lives deep

in caves. And when there's a crisis, Zygarde appears with a

mission. A mission to protect.the entire Kalos region.

ASH: Wow, the whole Kalos region...

SERENA: That's Zygarde...

CLEMONT: Of course. The crisis!

OLYMPIA: I saw disaster approaching soon. And your fates

are all connected to that threat.

CLEMONT: She said somehow we're all involved.

DIANTHA: That's right. I was concerned, so I came to see you.

I'm wondering, has anything odd been going on lately?

BONNIE/PIKACHU: [QUESTIONING]

BONNIE: THAT'S IT!

BONNIE: Ash's Greninja does something amazing!

DIANTHA: That really happened?

CLEMONT: Olympia mentioned it as well.

OLYMPIA: However, I do know this. It will reach new

heights that no one has ever seen before! And the two of you

will reach those new heights together.

DIANTHA: Greninja and Ash...

DIANTHA: So Ash? Do you think you could show me?

ASH/ PIKACHU: [QUESTIONING]

GARDEVOIR: [APPEARING]

DIANTHA: Let's battle. You and Greninja against

me and Gardevoir!

DIANTHA: I want to see what Greninja can do with

my very own eyes.

ASH: Okay, you're on! I'd jump at the chance to battle with

you, Diantha! Let's show her what we can do, 'kay?

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

GRENINJA: [AGREEMENT]

JAMES: This could be good for us.

MEOWTH: If we get an opening, we might end up nabbing a

magnificent Mega-Evolving Gardevoir!

JESSIE: She'll never be as good as I am, so we'll just have to

hope those two lightweights can put up a heavyweight brawl!

JAMES: Right. Beating them should be a piece of cake.

MEOWTH: Hope it's got frosting.

WOBBUFFET: [AGREEMENT]

DIANTHA: Oh, what's that, Ash?

ASH: Clemont's new invention!

CLEMONT: It's a Battle Pulse Meter and it tells us how

closely Ash and Greninja are synchronized.

CLEMONT: Those measurements are then sent to my Clembot Mini,

who converts them into a hologram!

CLEMONT: By watching the red and blue waveforms, we are then

able to observe Ash and Greninja's changes in real time!

DIANTHA: I'm impressed.

ASH: Greninja? The last time I battled against Diantha, Team

Rocket messed things up before her Gardevoir Mega Evolved!

ASH: But we've done an awful lot of battling since then!

ASH: This time, we'll win!

GRENINJA: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: We're all ready to go, Diantha!

DIANTHA: Great!

DIANTHA: Ash, you have the honor!

ASH: 'Kay.Aja, use Cut!

GRENINJA: [PANTING]

ASH: This is just like before... Gardevoir's too fast.

We can't get in there!

PIKACHU: [WORRIED]

SERENA: Diantha's so tough.

CLEMONT: She's the Champion. They're not taking any damage

without a real fight!

BONNIE: You can do it, Ash!

DEDENNE: [ENCOURAGING]

PIKACHU: [ENCOURAGING]

DIANTHA: Greninja's been trained well, but I don't sense

any difference from other Greninja... Now it's our turn.

like this before!

GARDEVOIR: [SHADOW BALL MOVE]

ASH-GRENINJA: [ROARING]

GARDEVOIR: [SHOUTING]

DIANTHA: If that makes contact, it's over for sure...

DIANTHA: Ash and his friends are always a surprise.but could

that Greninja really be a part of Olympia's prediction?

This battle will hopefully answer that.

GRENINJA: [AFFIRMATIVE]

CLEMONT/BONNIE/PIKACHU: [QUESTIONING]

DIANTHA: About that power of yours. I'm not sure if it has

anything to do with the prediction.but there's no doubt

in my mind that you'll always be able to work with that power

only for good!

ASH/GRENINJA: Right![AFFIRMATIVE]

DIANTHA: Maybe the next time I see you, it will be at the

Kalos League arena!

ASH: Awesome! I'm gonna win my eighth badge.

I'll be there for sure!

DIANTHA: Until then, all the best of luck.

ASH: Thanks a lot, Diantha.

DIANTHA: If, in fact, Ash and his friends have something to do

with the Kalos crisis that Olympia foresaw, that power must

have something to do with it.

ASH: Greninja! Water Shuriken, now!

GRENINJA: [ROARING]

DIANTHA: I need to investigate this even further. To protect

Ash and his friends. and to protect the entire Kalos region!

XEROSIC: All issues have been cleared up!

stage of our mission!

XEROSIC: Right!

SQUISHY: [QUESTIONING]

BONNIE: Squishy, ready to go?

Time for us to get back on the road again!

ASH: Hey, Greninja? Let's work hard! Until we can really

control that power, we've gotta get stronger and stronger!

ASH: First we'll win at the Snowbelle Gym and then it's off

to the Kalos League!

PIKACHU: [DETERMINED]

GRENINJA: [AFFIRMATIVE]

BONNIE: Ash is so fired up.

SQUISHY: [AGREEMENT]

SERENA: He'll be great!

CLEMONT: So why don't we get on our way?

PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

GRENINJA: [AGREEMENT]

NARRATOR: Our heroes are off again to the Snowbelle City Gym,

where Ash plans to win his eighth Kalos Gym badge.

What kind of battle will it be?
