14x25 - Emolga and the New Volt Switch!

[bunniefuu]

[humming]

Way to go catching Emolga like you did, Iris.

Thanks. I'm so happy Axew has a new friend.

Axew!

I know, let's have a Pokemon battle

between Emolga and Pignite, right now.

You want a Pokemon battle?

And how about battling me and Pikachu?

Pika!

Wow. A battle between Electric-types.

A spicy pairing like that could turn out to be electrifying.

But I asked first.

And don't you forget I was planning to catch Emolga first.

That didn't quite work out, did it, Bianca?

Now look, remember our first battle was kind of short

so I say let's have a complete battle

with Pignite and Emolga this time.

Hm.

Okay, Bianca. I accept your battle challenge.

Xew, Axew.

(Ash)"Emolga and the new volt switch."

(narrator) Excitement is in the air, as the battle between

Iris's brand new Pokemon, Emolga and Bianca's Pignite

is about to get underway.

Emolga, let's go!

[squeaking]

Ah! You're so cute.

Maybe you should remember you're about to battle Emolga.

You're right! Time to get serious!

Pignite, you're up!

Pignite!

I'll let that cutie wootie Emolga have the first move.

Emol.

Emolga gets the first move! Begin!

Emolga, use Hidden Power!

[expl*si*n]

Pignite!

So, you're not holding back.

Pignite, use Heat Crash!

[growling]

Emolga, Attract!

E, Emo!

[grunting]

Pignite, Pignite, Pignite.

Pignite, Pignite.

Pignite, return, now.

Pignite!

- Guess, she had no choice. - Excellent.

Good battle strategy, Iris.

- Of course. - 'Whatever.'

My next Pokemon is Minccino!

Minccino!

Alright, counter Emolga's Attract with your Attract!

Right back at you! Emolga, use Attract as well!

Emo!

zap zap zap

Wow, both those Attracts are colliding midair

and cancelling each other out.

Tickle, let's go!

[squeaking]

Huh? Quick, use Hidden Power!

[squeaking]

[expl*si*n]

[screaming]

thud

- Pika? - Axew?

That was Volt Switch.

But I don't remember saying to use that.

Iris, where's Emolga?

Emo, Em, Emo. Emo, Emo.

Huh, in a normal situation, Volt Switch is a move

that will send the user back to its Poke Ball

and then switch another Pokemon out into the battle

but not this time.

Looks like Emolga's Volt Switch's a little different.

[laughs] It is kind of funny.

[laughs] It's hilarious.

Uh, although I shouldn't be laughing.

Emolga, what's the use of battling

if you're just gonna use Volt Switch?

Since we're doing this for practice

I hope you'll listen to what I ask you to do.

Emo.

Emol!

Huh?

Now she made Emolga cry.

We might have to call this off.

- Pika. - Emolga. Please stop crying.

Emo!



Yeah, that's right! Turn that frown upside down.

'Now that you've cheered up, let's try this once again.'

Emo?

Don't worry. You've got me on your side.

Emo.

It's my turn for the first move!

Minccino, use Hyper Voice!

Emolga, dodge it!

Emolga!

[screaming]

Pansage.

[shrieking]

[growling]

[screaming]

[squeaking]

Uh, Minccino!

[squeaking]

Minccino is unable to battle.

And that means Pansage is the winner.

Though the recipe wasn't followed as expected.

That is so totally unfair!

But still, wonderful job, Minccino.

You deserve a good rest.

- Pan. - Emo, Emo.

Emolga, I told you not to use Volt Switch now, didn't I?

Emo!

Oh, here we go with the water works.

You know, I'm starting to think Emolga doesn't like to battle.

Maybe so. It's not really listening to what Iris says.

Emolga's just doing whatever it wants to do.

But wait!

Raising a Pokemon the right way is part

of a Pokemon Trainer's training, right, Ash?

- Raising the right way? - Pika, Pika?

It means building a trusting relationship

between Trainer and Pokemon.

The Pokemon will then be able to reach its full potential.

A Pokemon battle can actually be a whole lot of fun

if you just put your heart into it, Emolga.

What do you say we give it one more try, huh?

Emo.

We'll pick up right where we left off.

- And begin! - 'Then here we go!'

Pignite, come on out!

Pignite!

Now, use Heat Crash!

Pig!

Emolga, use Hidden Power!

Emo.

Emolga!

Uh?

Now Snivy's switched into battle.

Hey, Ash, since Snivy's out, can I borrow it?

Please? That sounds fun.

Now hold on, remember Snivy's my Pokemon.

But, Ash, I want to show Emolga how much fun battling can be.

- N-O. - Selfish!

- Say what? - I'd hold that thought.

It looks like Emolga's missing.

Huh? Come on.

Emolga, where did you go?

Come back here at once.

Ash, I know.

Why don't we have a battle with Snivy against Pignite

while we wait for Emolga?

You bet. So, bring it on.

Snivy, what do you think?

Snivy, Snivy.

Now, Pignite, Flamethrower!

Nite!

Okay, Snivy, use Leaf Blade!

Snivy!

Keep it up, Snivy.

Pignite, Flame Charge!

thud thud thud

Pig, Pig, Pig, Pig.

Nite!

Alright, Snivy, Leaf Storm!

Snivy-vy-vy-vy!

Snivy!

[growling]

Nite, Pignite.

Pig!

Pignite, you can do it!

Oh, wow.

Looks like they're having a heated battle, alright.

Emolga, where could you have gone?

- 'Emo.' - Huh?

Emolga, come down here this instant.

Emo.

Man, Ash and Snivy are battling instead of us

because you used Volt Switch

'and now we're not getting any practice.'

Snivy?

Emo.

Hmm, instead of a Volt Switch

we've witnessed a Vine Whip Switch.

It's a new recipe.

[panting] Emolga.

You're going to battle this time, get it?



Ee, Emo!

And acting cute won't work.

[all screaming]

Come on, why me?

Heh-heh.

Wow. I'm all over this hairstyle.

Your optimism is infectious.

[stomach grumbling]

Uh-oh. I need something to eat.

- Pikachu! - Alright.

Then it's time for a food break.

Lunch. Come and get it.

Okay, g*ng. Everybody out!

zap zap zap

[squeaking]

[all screaming]

(Cilan) 'Here you go.'

And here's yours.

chomp chomp chomp

Emo.

[indistinct muttering]

Emo. Emo!

Emo!

Emo! Emo.

Umm, the combination of herbs gave it such a great flavor.

Once again, I give Cilan's cooking five stars.

[laughs] Why, thank you.

So guys. Was it good?

- Pika, Pika! - Ax!

Emo.

[growling]

Pika, Pika!

Emo.

Pika, Pika.

[squeaking]

- Come on, what are you doing? - What's wrong with you?

Stop your fighting, please.

Pikachu!

This's ridiculous.

Here we go again.

I must admit this hairstyle's starting to grow on me too.

Isn't it great?

Okay, what's with you all?

[growling]

- Ugh. Now I'm more confused. - It's a hunch.

But maybe they're saying someone stole their food.

- Who would do that? - Alright.

I say we're ripe for some thinking time.

(all) Hmmm.

Emolga?

(Iris)'Hey. What's wrong with your tummy?'

- Emo. - A-ha. I've got it.

Okay, got what, Cilan?

Hmm, point A.

The Pokemon whose food was stolen were all male, correct?

[in unison] Umm-hmm.

Point B, Emolga's the only Pokemon who's full.

And that means Emolga has to be the food thief.

- Huh? - How'd Emolga pull that off?

By discreetly using Attract.

And while Emolga's Attract was doing its work, voila.

It was the perfect time for Emolga to eat everyone's food.

As the Attract wore off, the fighting broke out

once they began to realize they had no idea

who the food thief was.

- 'That makes sense.' - 'Emolga looks guilty.'

(Pikachu) 'Pika, Pika.'

Just a minute! Emolga wouldn't do an awful thing like that.

- Emo. - Isn't that right, Emolga?

- Emo. - Xew, Axew.

You see? How dare you doubt the poor thing?

Guess you're right. I'm sorry.

Pika, Pika.

I should know better than to be jumping to conclusions.

And I'm sorry too.

Hear that? They said they're sorry, so you can stop crying.

- Emo. - Come on. Hey, that tickles.

Xew.

(group) Who's That Pokemon?

(group) It's Simisear.

Simisear.

Okay, lunch is over and we're all packed up and ready to go.

[yawning] I'm feeling kind of sleepy.

Pikachu.

Yeah, me too.

Axew, ew.

Well, I'd say we all need a little nap.

(Cilan)'And I'd say we should leave after we do just that.'

(Ash) 'Now you're talking.'

(Pikachu) 'Pikachu.'

Axew, ew. Axew.

Pancham.

- Axew. - Cham, Pancham.

Emo, Emo, Emo.

Emo!

Emo!

[growling]

- Emo. - 'Pancham!'

Axew, Ew, Ew.

Emo.



- Axew, ew! - Pancham, Pan!

- Emo! - Axew!

Emo!

- Axew? - Emo.

(Emolga) 'Emo. Emo.'

Emo, Emo, Emo.

- Axew - Pancham.

Emo. Emo, Emo.

Axew, Ew, Ew.

Emo, Emo, Emo.

Ax!

Ew, Ew.

Pancham!

[growling]

[grunting]

Pancham, Pancha.

Axew.

Emo.

[growling]

[squeaking]

[laughing]

[growling]

thud

[squeaking]

Simisear!

[squeaking]

Sear!

thud thud thud

[gasping]

Pika, Pi. Pika, Pi!

- Pika, Pika! - Huh?

Pikachu, I was out like a light.

Pika, Pika, Pika, Pi!

Axew's gone and so is Emolga.

Oshawott and Snivy are gone too.

Pika, Pika!

So where'd they go?

Hmm.

Huh? There's something going on over by those trees.

- Let's check it out. - Hmm.

Simi!

Axew.

Oshawatt, Osha.

Osha!

Axew. Axew!

Axew, Axew.

Emol?

Simi?

chomp chomp chomp

Sear.

[laughing]

Simisear!

[grunting]

[laughing]

Axew. Ax,

Axew, Ew.

Emo.

Sear!

Sear?

[dramatic music]

- Snivy. - Ew, ew!

Simsisear!

Ew, Ew.

Emo, Emo, Emo.

Snivy, Snivy.

There they are.

- Axew. Emolga. - Hang on!

Who's that Pokemon?

(Pokedex) 'Simisear.'

'The Ember Pokemon and the evolved form of Pansear.'

'Simisear loves to eat sweets'

'which sustain the fire that burns inside its body.'

[growling]

- Oshawott! - Axew!

[expl*si*n]

[laughing]

Snivy's at quite a disadvantage against a Fire-type.

Quick, Emolga. Help everyone out.

Emo. Emo.

[laughing]

- Emo. - Ew.

[dramatic music]

[growling]

[expl*si*n]

Emo!

[expl*si*n]

Let's get Oshawott and Axew.

- Oshawott. - Axew.

[growling]

Simisear's anger's so thick, you could slice it.

It's really scary.

Simisear!

Emo, Emo, Emo!

Emolga!

Sear!

thud

[cheering]

Yes. Nice move, Snivy.

[instrumental music]

Simi, Simisear!



[all gasp]

Snivy!

[expl*si*n]

Simi.

Sear?

[grunting]

Simi, Simisear.

It appears Simisear's mood is now

a bit milder than it was before.

Wow, Snivy, you were just great.

You too, Emolga. The way you battled was so..

Oh.

Emo.

[instrumental music]

Now what are they doing?

Pika.

- Emo. - Vy?

Axew! Ew! Ew.

zap zap zap

Ew.

Vy, Snivy.

Hmm, it appears those three are now friends.

We've got a brand new recipe.

Pika.

Emolga, Axew and Excadrill.

All three of your Pokemon have such unique personalities.

It makes them all that much more fun to raise.

Yes. I love a challenge.

And I love the challenge of winning my fourth Gym Badge too.

- Pika! - Huh?

Where did you get your third badge?

The Castelia Gym. See?

Uh! I'd better get in gear.

I'm going to the Castelia Gym this instant and challenge it!

Oops. Of course I'll be seeing you all really soon.

Meantime, you take good care of yourselves

- We will! See you soon. - Pikachu!

And next time, let's have another battle.

And I'll make you a meal to remember.

Sounds great. Bye, bye!

(narrator) So many kinds of Pokemon.

All with such unique and fascinating personalities.

Now, as our heroes press on toward Nimbasa City

the journey continues.
