Where all secrets are finally revealed.

Wow! A new "Wonder Fighters" movie. I've gotta go.

- Pika. - Which means it's movie time!

'I love the amazing equipment'

'the main characters use in each new movie.'

'Starting with this one, a new actor'

'is playing the lead Wonder Fighter.'

'It's the fifth actor to play the role.'

My favorite was the third actor

playing the lead Wonder Fighter, who played it cool.

Though he was replaced after just one movie.

- Wow, you're an expert. - True.

I just happen to be a film connoisseurs well.

Hm. I love movies.

Whenever the Village of Dragons had a festival with movies

I couldn't wait to go.

- I'm totally into movies too. - Pika-Pika.

[gasps]

What's gotten into you guys?

[laughs]

- Aah! - Pika!

Hey, you're the Wonder Fighter.

Aah! Uh!

It's a Zorua.

(Ash) "Movie Time!"

"Zorua in the Legend of the Pokemon Knight!"

(narrator) Continuing their journey to Nimbasa City.

Our heroes movie discussion is interrupted

by a surprise encounter with Zorua.

(Pokedex) Zorua. The Tricky Fox Pokemon.

Zorua hides its true form by changing its shape

into people and Pokemon and loves to surprise people.

Hey, Cilan, isn't Zorua a really rare Pokemon?

Hm. This is the first time I've ever seen one.

- You're a wild Pokemon? Huh. - Hey!

Please don't let my Zorua get away.

It's my Pokemon.

- Rua! - Huh?

Huh! Which one's the real Pikachu?

[screams]

- Gotcha, pal. - Uh, that's my Pikachu.

Are you sure?

Pi-ka-chu!

Zorua can look like any Pokemon it wants to.

But it can only use its own moves.

Where'd my Zorua go?

- Golett. - Yew.

- Hm? - Turned into an Axew, huh?

Excuse me, this is my..

That one's mine.

- Man. - Rua! Rua! Rau! Rau!

- Zorua, knock it off. - Will you stop this, right now?

Oh-oh!

- Alright. Zorua, return! - Rua!

Rua!

[screams]

- Huh? Where'd Zorua go? - Huh?

- Huh? - Zorua, come back!

Guess we cancel sh**ting today.

sh**ting?

We're sh**ting a movie

and that Zorua just happens to be our lead actress.

- Movie? - And Zorua's your lead actress?

- You see, my Zorua's a girl. - I got you.

I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Luke.

See, my dream is to become a big-time movie director.

And this is my assistant, Golett.

- Golett. - Go..

(Pokedex) Golett. The Automaton Pokemon.

It is said that Golett was instructed to protect people

and Pokemon by the ancient civilization that created it.

I'm Ash, and I want to become a Pokemon Master.

- This's my partner, Pikachu. - Pikachu.

My name's Iris and I want to become a Dragon Master.

- Ax. - Right, Axew?

I'm Cilan, a Pokemon connoisseur.

Film connoisseur too.

Oh, film connoisseur? Cool.

So why did Zorua run away?

That's a good question.

We were right in the middle of sh**ting a scene



when suddenly..

And cut.

The pirate's up next. Go for it, Zorua.

[grunts]

Zorua!

No, not the princess. I want the pirate.

[grunts]

Great, for the dueling scene

the pirate will stand right over here

and the knight stands over there.

Okay, transform into the knight.

'Perfect.'

Zorua!

No. I don't want the princess, I want the Pokemon knight.

Zorua, what's wrong?

Hey, hold on.

And that's how it all happened.

Hm. Abrupt refusal to perform.

Zorua must have a good reason for it.

You think?

But, now what am I gonna do?

(Ash) First thing is to go find Zorua.

- Right. - Any idea where it might be?

- 'I've looked everywhere.' - 'Let's look again.'

That rumor about a Zorua in town.

It was true, alright.

Zorua is an ultra-rare Pokemon.

No doubt being able to change appearance

would be a huge asset for Team Rocket.

So catchin' it's a must.

This is where Zorua and I met.

It's the oldest movie theater in town.

I'm the assistant projectionist

so I get to watch movies for free.

Well, you don't know anything.

I've gotten everything I need without your help, so shut up.

- Huh? - Goodbye.

The truth is, you and I live in two different worlds.

Oh!

And at the next movie.

And the movie after that.

(woman) 'Wait! Please! Wait!'

Right.

Huh?

Huh. Uh. Ah!

Who are you?

[giggling] Zorua!

Huh? Zorua? You're a Zorua?

You look exactly like the lead actress from my favorite movie.

Does that mean you like movies as much as I do?

Rua!

Just so happens, I like making them too.

Ha. Hey, Zorua.

How would you like to star in my movie?

And that's how Zorua and I became movie partners.

Wow, a Zorua that's in love with movies?

- Hey, Luke. - Huh?

Mr. Matthews.

I'd like you to meet Mr. Matthews

the theater manager. Also the projectionist.

(all) Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Thought you should know, Luke, that Zorua just went inside.

[all gasps]

Really? Let's go in.

(all) Hm.

Uh.

[gasps]

- A princess? - That's Princess Yuria.

The lead character in the film I'm sh**ting now.

Zorua looks pretty angry to me.

Hey, Zorua, we're your partner Luke's friends.

Now, let's see.

If I recall correctly, Zorua's playing every role

in your movie, is that right?

Mm-hm. Yeah, that's the deal.

That's what's wrong.

(all) Huh?

(Cilan) 'Since Zorua's a girl'

'maybe it only wants to play'

'the role of the princess.'

I think Zorua agrees with you.

So the reason why you got so upset and ran away

is you only wanna play Princess Yuria.

I hear you.

But how do I make a movie with only one character?

Sounds to me like that's our cue.

- Huh? - Remember.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Correct?

Are you saying we play the other roles?

- I'll do it. Sounds like fun. - Pika-Pika.

Wow you mean it? That'd be great.

(Cilan) 'Our pleasure.'

Rau!

Okay, Leavanny. Come on out.

Leava.

Leavanny, will you make costumes for everyone?

- Va. - We can help too.

- Yeah. - Hm.

In the meantime, I'll have to tweak the script a bit.



- 'Luke.' - Hm?

There's an empty space in the film storage room around back.

- You're welcome to use it. - Thanks a lot, Mr. Matthews.

Okay, let's make the best movie the world's ever seen.

[all cheering]

Hm..

Va!

All that's left is the final scene.

- Ugh! - The script's done!

Yay!

Okay, here's the plotline in a nutshell.

It's called, "The Legend of the Pokemon Knight."

'One day, the Kingdom of Pallet's beautiful'

'Princess Yuria is kidnapped by Captain Cilan the pirate'

'because she alone holds the secret'

'to finding the kingdom's treasure.'

'Meanwhile, Sir Ash, a Pokemon knight'

'vows to rescue the princess and journeys'

'to meet legendary Dragon Master Iris'

'overcoming many obstacles along the way.'

'Finally, Ash, along with his partner Pikachu'

'defeats Captain Cilan and rescues Princess Yuria.'

Wow. That sounds like a great story.

And, Pikachu, we're the main characters, you know.

- Pika-Pika. - Such a kid.

Obviously, the main character is the beautiful Princess Yuria.

- Right, Axew? - Axew.

Too bad you're the bad guy.

[chuckles] Too bad?

Villains play a vital role in an action movie.

You see, the actor that plays the villain must show real depth

of character, accentuating the hero and heroine's characters.

Which makes me a hero too.

- Now, let's hit the set. - Golett.

The first scene, this is where Captain Cilan

'kidnaps Princess Yuria in front of Sir Ash.'

- 'Ready?' - 'Ready!'

And...action.

(group) Who's That Pokemon?

(group) It's Zorua.

Rua! Rua!

Uh, Stop, Captain Cilan. Release the princess.

- Uh, Princess Yuria. - Cut. Cut.

- Ah-ah. - You're too nervous.

I think you should try to chill out a bit.

Guess this is harder than I thought.

- Ash? - Hm? Huh?

Have you ever seen the film

which follows a young actress and her passion for acting?

The classic "Yamask Of The Opera?"

In order to capture an audience

you must become one with your character.

And once you become your character

there's no room to be nervous.

You sure talk like a film connoisseur.

- Wish I knew what you meant. - Ugh.

Basically, Cilan is saying give it all you got.

That's what he meant? No problem.

That's the spirit. Once again.

Captain Cilan.

- Release Princess Yuria. - Pika-Pika.

And why would I release her?

The princess holds the secret to finding the treasure.

Yeah? Pikachu, Electro Ball.

Pika-Pika-chu!

Pansage, use Solar Beam!

Pansage!

- Oh! - Oh!

- Oh, no. - Have you given up?

Your Pokemon knight days are over.

- The princess is mine. - Sir Ash, help!

[grunting]

- Ugh! - Cut.

(Luke) 'People, that was amazing. Great.'

'Now, let's move on to the scene where the Pokemon knight'

'gets trained by the legendary Dragon Master.'

Action.

Hear me, Pokemon Knight, Ash.

If you want to defeat Captain Cilan

first you must battle and defeat Axew

the most powerful of my dragon-type Pokemon.

- Axew! - Now, Pikachu. Electro Ball!

Pika!

Quick, Axew, dodge it.

Ax-ew!

Ah! Axew, are you okay?

Cut. Cut.

Axew needs to dodge quicker than that.

I know you're right but Axew's just not up to it.

Hm. Guess Pikachu will just have to ease up.

But then it won't be as exciting.

So why don't we have Axew Counter Attack

by using Dragon Rage?

Great idea.

'Take two, action.'

Axew, the most cherished and powerful of my dragon-types.

Ax..

Pika-Pika-chu!

Axew, use Dragon Rage!

Ax-ew!



Pika!

- Pikachu! - That's not enough.

You're going to have to put your heart into the move.

- My heart? - Pika.

Attack me with all your might.

'Prove to me you're worthy of that which you seek.'

- Pi! - I've got it.

Do it, Pikachu.

Pika-chu!

Thunderbolt!

Show her what you're made of!

Pi-kachu!

[grunts]

(Iris) 'Sir Ash, I have now seen'

'what truly lies within your heart.'

- Pika? - Huh.

You are now free to go and find Princess Yuria.

Cut. Awesome work.

Since we're on a roll let's sh**t the final scene.

To the forest cave.

(all) Right! Yeah!

- Now? - Hm.

Hm.

The big final scene is where Ash defeats Captain Cilan

and rescues the princess.

It's important that the camera keeps rolling.

- So don't stop no matter what. - Got it.

But what happens if we mess up?

If that happens, then we ad-lib it.

What's ad-lib mean?

It's when you make the lines up off the top of your head

and act as you go along.

Sometimes, the most interesting and memorable parts of a movie

are those unplanned moments when the ad-libbed dialog

has absolutely nothing to do with the script.

- Yeah? - Yeah?

Sounds like lots of fun too.

(Luke) 'Action.'

Well, as I thought.

The princess's power has opened the door to the treasure cave.

- Now, let's go inside. - 'Hold it!'

Hm?

- Huh. Ah! - Sir Ash!

You. How did you know?

I found you because Princess Yuria's heart

and mine are connected.

So release her at once.

Quit talking like a fool. Now!

Pansage, b*llet Seed.

Pikachu. Use Quick Attack.

Dodge it and use Solar Beam.

Pikachu, Electro Ball with spirit!

Pika!

- Pika! - Pan-sage!

Thunderbolt!

Pi-Pika-chu!

Uh! Ah! Aah!

We did it!

Pi-kachu!

Are you hurt, princess?

[all gasps]

What are you doing to Zorua?

What we want is beyond your comprehension indeed.

The answer will come as we feel the need.

Bringing the white light of evil into the future.

Thrusting the hammer of justice

onto the black darkness of the universe.

And carvin' our names in the rock of eternity.

The fiery destroyer.

I'm Jessie.

Huh! Huh!

With thunderous emotion, James.

Wisest of the wise, I'm Meowth.

(all) And, now, gather.

Under the name of Team Rocket.

Team Rocket?

They're bad guys who steal people's Pokemon.

Now that Zorua's ours, why stick around?

- Meowth, take it away. - 'Okay.'

Golett, use Shadow Ball.

[screams]

We'll take care of Team Rocket.

Luke, keep that camera rolling.

- Huh? Why? - It's ad-lib time!

The three evil villains who controlled me all along

have finally showed themselves.

'Team Rocket.'

I get it.

Time to reveal my true identity.

- Pokemon Sorcerer, Cilan. - Pansage.

And the legendary Dragon Master, Iris.

- Axew. - Pansage, b*llet Seed.

- Way to go! - Now, Axew, Dragon Rage.

Ax-ew!

[all gasps]

No, you don't. You're not getting away.

- Woobat, use Gust. - Woobat.

Woo! Bat! Bat! Bat!

Tranquill. Catch Zorua!

Tranquill.



Tr-ran..

Yamask, on the double.

Use Shadow Ball on Tranquill.

Ya-mask!

Alright, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Pika-chu!

If I were you I'd stop playin' hard to get and come with us.

[laughing]

Bein' super-cute means bein' super my type.

Will you get a hold of yourself?

Get un-lovey-doveyed. That's Zorua.

Wow!

Zorua just used Night Daze.

I think it's time we retreat.

But next time will be a different time.

Zorua, you okay?

- The camera's still rolling. - Huh? Ahem.

Who would have thought that the princess was Zorua all along?

Rau!

Then what about the real princess?

- Huh? She's me? - Of course.

When you realized that trio of villains was after the treasure

you disguised Zorua as you.

Ah, yeah, yes you got it.

Dragon Master Iris is just a disguise.

My true identity is..

- 'Whoa, Princess Yuria.' - 'Pika.'

Your Highness, with Sir Ash at my side.

- We will always protect you. - We will always protect you.

(Princess Yuria) 'And together, let us do our best'

to make a brighter future for our Pokemon world.

(all) Yes.

(narrator) Receiving rave reviews

"The Legend Of The Pokemon Knight"

has made our heroes a huge box office success.

But not to worry.

Our heroes Unova region journey continues.

[laughing]

Wow. Talk about a lucky break.

The film turned out great.

- Thanks to you. - Hm.

An innovative motion picture

teeming with lots of herbs and spices.

Though I must say I wish the battle scenes

were a bit more exciting.

- Hm. Yeah. - I know, Luke.

Why don't you enter the Nimbasa Battle Tournament?

- Hm? - Oh!

There's gonna be a Battle Tournament in Nimbasa City?

If you enter, I'm sure the experience will help you learn

how to sh**t all kinds of exciting battle scenes.

Okay, I'll do it.

Hey, I think I'm gonna enter that tournament too.

- Yeah, me three. - I'll be entrant number four.

We're all going to enter? This is gonna be a blast.

Keep in mind that also means we're all going to be rivals.

- Cool. Can't wait. - I'm so psyched.

Pika-Pikachu!

Then let's get moving so we can enter right away.

(all) Right.
