14x20 - Dancing with the Ducklett Trio!

[bunniefuu]

Scrag..

Scraggy!

Uh, huh?

- Scraggy, use Headbutt! - Scra..

Quick, Axew, Scratch, let's go!

Scra, Scra, Scrag.

- Scraggy! - Axew. Axew.

[laughing]

Hmm. Alright, Scraggy, use Leer!

Scrag!

[grunting]

- Huh? - Pika?

- It worked. Right? - Pika.

Okay, Axew.

Dragon Rage, let's go!

[both gasp]

[groaning]

Huh? Ah.

Axew!

Xew. Axew.

Scrag.

Well, we tried.

(narrator) An open field on the outskirts of a town provides

our Heroes with the perfect spot for a break

on their way to Castelia City.

Hey, g*ng.

Lunch is all ready.

Wow, that was awesome work, Scraggy

so I think that's enough training for now.

You must be hungry, right, Axew?

(Axew) 'Axew.'

Let's go, Scraggy.

[gasps]

- Osha. - Oshawott.

- Pika. - Oshwa. Oshwa.

Hey, why don't we all have lunch together?

Huh? Ah!

[both screaming]

Ash? Pikachu?

Chu-Chu!

Oh! That's quite a deep hole.

[rumbling]

- Oh! - Now what?

Let's follow them with Dig.

Pansage, let's go!

- Pansage. - I wanna help.

- Iris, is that? - Sure is.

With this mess, Excadrill's gotta listen.

Axew.

(Ash) "Dancing With The Ducklett Trio."

[screaming]

Sandile.

[screaming]

Man, that hurts. Are you alright, Pikachu?

- Pika.. - Huh?

San-San-San. Sandile.

Hey, a Sandile. I know you.

Ah. I get it.

'So you dug that hole, didn't you?'

- Why did you do that? - Sandile. San-San.

Are you saying you wanna battle Pikachu?

Sandile. Sandile-San.

So battling it out with Pikachu's the only reason

you brought us here?

- Sandile. San-Sandile-san. - Pika!

- What do you say, bud? - Pika-Pika.

- Hey, Sandile. Deal. - Pikachu.

(Iris) 'Excadrill, let's go.'

Help, Excadrill.

Go after Ash and Pikachu.

I'm afraid Excadrill's acting a bit chilly.

Oh. Never mind. Return, Excadrill.

Pansage, how about you helping out?

- Pan. - Ducklett.

Huh?

Ducklett.

- Thief! Come back at once! - Pansage.

[screaming]

Ducklett's using Scald. And it's hot, hot, hot.

Ducklett. Ducklett.

- Oshawott. - Scrag, scrag, scrag.

(Iris) 'Hey, wait a second.'

Let's let Iris take care of all that and we'll go look for Ash.

Pan.

Ducklett.

Alright, Sandile, we'll be taking the first move.

Now. Pikachu, Thunderbolt, go!

Pikachu-u-u!

Huh? I forgot Sandile's also a ground-type.

Electric-type moves won't work.



That's Bite. Quick, Pikachu, Iron Tail, let's go.

Duck, Duck, Duck, Duck, Ducklett.

Huh? Who's that Pokemon?

Let's see.

(Pokedex) Ducklett. The Water Bird Pokemon.

A skilled diver, Ducklett swims underwater

in search of its favorite food, peat moss.

- Duck! - Oh, so that's a Ducklett.

- Wow. - Pika.

We're kind of in the middle of a battle.

- Sandile. - Duck.

Duck. Ducklett?

[screaming]

Sandile. Sandile.

- 'Duck-Duck-Duck.' - Dile.

Sa-andile!

Ducklett!

Sandile-San-Sandile. San-San-Sandile.

Duck...lett. Ducklett!

Dile. Sandile-San-Sandile.

Sandile-Sandile.

Duck. Duck. Duck.

- Sandile. - Ducklett!

[grunting]

Duck.

Hmm. What's up with that Ducklett?

- Pika. - Sandile-e-e.

I wonder where it went.

That Ducklett's wacky.

- Pika. - Sandile.

Sandile, I'll get your sunglasses back.

I promise, you can count on me.

Sand.

Sand. Sandile. Sand.

Come on, Sandile, they're just a bunch of wild Woobat.

Sandile.

You feel really uneasy without

those sunglasses of yours, don't you, Sandile?

Sand..

Cheer up, Sandile, everything's going to be just fine.

You've got Pikachu and me on your side.

- Pika-Pika. - Sandile.

Huh? Ah!

- Duck. Ducklett. - Back again, huh?

- Now, hold on. - Sand.

Hey, give me my hat!

Aah!

That's Ice Beam.

[laughing]

Hey, that's my hat! Come on, Pikachu.

Pika!

Huh?

- Ducklett. - Ducklett.

[laughing]

There's the one who took Sandile's sunglasses, too.

Okay, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt.

Pikachu-u-u!

Alright, let's get our stuff back.

[screaming]

- Huh? - Ducklett.

(all) Duck-Ducklett.

[laughing]

Now, we've got to deal with three of them.

- Dile. - Pi-ka!

[screaming] That Scald's boiling!

Dile.

[groaning] Of course, that Ice Beam's not..

(all) Ducklett.

[laughing]

[grunting]

Man, that's cold.

- Hey, Sandile, thanks. - San-Sandile.

Pikachu.

[laughing]

Ah, Pikachu.

Use Thunderbolt, once more!

- Pika.. - Ah.

- Ducklett. - Ducklett.

Ducklett.

[gasps]

Ducklett.

Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

- Pika.. - Ow!

Pikachu.

(group) Who's that Pokemon?

(group) It's Ducklett.

(Ducklett) Ducklett.

Chu-u-u..

Pikachu!

[screaming]

(all) Duck.

- Pika. - Pikachu, you okay?

Ah.

Quick, Sandile, let's run!

[laughing]

(all) Ducklett.

- Osha-Osha. Oshawott. - Scraggy.

Don't you take another step!

[grunts]

Don't run off on your own like that, okay?



Now, let's go back and look for Pikachu and Ash.

No. I don't think going back will be necessary.

How come?

Well, we came out through that hole and ended up here, correct?

Yo-yo-yo.

I see, so that has to mean

Ash and Pikachu came out this way as well.

Oshawott. Osha-Osha.

[clamoring]

Duck.

[laughing]

Man, look at all the stuff they've got.

But we're gonna get your sunglasses and my hat.

- Sandile. - Pika-Pika.

- Pikachu, something wrong? - Pikachu.

I don't have my Poke ba*ls here so it's up to us.

- But I know we can do it. - Pika.

Okay, let's go.

[laughing]

We don't wanna fight with you guys, really.

'We just want our stuff back.'

(both) Duck?

Sand-Sandile. Sandile. Sand.

You've gotta try and understand

those sunglasses mean a lot to Sandile.

- It likes wearing them. - Pika-Pika.

Duck-Duck. Ducklett.

Wow. You're gonna give them back?

Sandile.

[screaming]

[laughing]

I've had just about enough of you three.

Ah. Pikachu, use Thunderbolt, now!

Pikachu!

Pika?

- Pikachu, what's the matter? - Pikachu-u-u..

Something wrong with your electric-type moves?

Ah.

- Maybe that's why. - Sand.

Sandile. Sand-ile.

Sandile, it's great that you wanna battle them

but Ducklett is a Water-type Pokemon.

- Sand. - Alright.

We're both here if you need us, okay?

Pika-Pika.

[laughing]

Sa-andile!

- Duck.. - Sandile, dodge it!

Sand.

- Now, dodge, again! - Dile-San.

Pikachu, use Iron Tail so you can protect Sandile.

Pika-a-a..

- Duck. - Duck.

Pikachu.

(all) Ducklett. Ducklett.

Ducklett!

Du-u-u..

[grunting]

Ganging up's no fair, so stop!

Pika-Pika!

[grunting]

- Ducklett. - Duck.

[grunts]

Pika-a-a..

[screaming]

- Pikachu. - Pika-a-a-chu!

Ah.

Pi!

- Pika! - Pikachu.

- What was that move? - 'Electro Ball.'

- Electro Ball? - You don't know Electro Ball?

- What a little kid. - Thanks.

It's great Pikachu's learned a zesty move like Electro Ball.

Talk about spicy and tasty.

Electro Ball.

- Scraggy. - Osha.

Hold on.

Remember that Sandile from before?

- From the hot sands spa. - Sandile-Sandile.

What's it doing here?

(all) Ducklett.

Those three again.

You mean there are actually three Ducklett?

Now, look, Ducklett, I can't let you use Scald on me like that.

Oshawott.

[screaming]

Osha-Osha-Osha-Osha-Osha.

Wott.

Osha.

Oshawott. Osh-Osha.

[laughing]

- What's wrong with you guys? - Osh.

Such behavior is hard to understand.

- Pika! - You up for it?

Pika-Pika.

Pikachu, use Thunderbolt.

Pikachu-u-u-u!

- Ducklett. - Ducklett.

Ducklett.

(all) Ducklett. Ducklett.



(Sandile) 'Sand.'

- Sandile. - Pika-Pika.

I'm starting to understand now.

They took Sandile's sunglasses.

Xew.

Scrag.

- Scraggy. - Thanks, Scraggy.

- That's great. - Scraggy.

Hmm. Alright.

Oh, Joy.

My lovely serving dome safe and sound.

Oshawott. Osha.

(Nurse Joy) 'Thanks for waiting.'

Here are your Pokemon, and both are in perfect health.

- Pikachu. - Awesome.

Thanks a lot, Nurse Joy.

Those three mischievous Ducklett are well known around here.

- They can cause trouble. - Yeah.

But it's because of those three Ducklett

that Pikachu learned a brand new move.

- Right, buddy? - Pikachu.

Sandile. Sandile.

Huh? Huh?

I still can't get over Sandile.

Neither can I, following us all this way

just to battle with Pikachu here.

Amazing.

Oh, yeah.

I know Pikachu's Electro Ball won't have any effect on Sandile

because it's a ground-type.

Isn't Pikachu at a disadvantage?

We'll just see. I think Ash is aware of that.

I'm looking forward to see what sort of ingredients

this Battle will be made up of.

It should be delicious.

Alright, let's start, Sandile.

- Pika! - Sa-a-andile.

Pikachu-u!

Sa-a-andile!

Pika!

Now, Pikachu, counter with Quick Attack.

Pika!

Well, it looks like Ash's strategy is to avoid

using electric-type moves completely.

- Pikachu, keep it up! - Axew!

Now, use Iron Tail!

Pika..

Sandile used Dig.

'No telling where it'll come back out.'

Careful, Pikachu.

Pika!

Pika!

Ah!

- Sandile used Dig again. - Pi-Pika.

[screaming]

Pika!

- Pikachu, no! - That looks like it hurt.

By adding Dig as a main ingredient to its Battle recipe

Sandile has Pikachu in real trouble.

Pi...ka..

Come on, Pikachu, get back up!

Pika.

[gasping]

- What's with that glow? - Axew.

Krokorok.

Wow, Sandile evolved.

(Pokedex) Krokorok, the Desert Croc Pokemon.

And the evolved form of Sandile.

The special membrane that covers Krokorok's eyes detects heat

which allows it to see in the dark.

- Krokorok! - Krokorok's using Stone Edge.

Hope Pikachu doesn't get hit.

Pikachu, use Electro Ball!

Pika-Pika!

Ash knows electric-type moves won't do a thing.

Rok!

Electro Ball deflected the Stone Edge.

Krokorok!

Pikachu's Electro Ball is totally amazing.

- Axew. - Right.

And although the battle was a draw

Pikachu's now got a great rival.

We'll have a battle when we see Krokorok again.

And next time we're gonna win it!

- Pika-Pika! - Hmm.

(narrator) And so, the mischief brought by three Ducklett

has helped Pikachu learn a new move, Electro Ball.

Though our Heroes plan on seeing Krokorok again one day

for now, their journey to Castelia City continues.
