15x15 - Evolution Exchange Excitement!

Post by bunniefuu »

NARRATOR After rescuing Galvantula


and Joltik from Team Rocket


and returning them to their Chargestone Cave home


our heroes and Professor Juniper


have arrived at her base camp.


It's finally time to trade Pokémon!


It's pretty exciting.


Wonder what they'll evolve into?


Can't wait to see!


[AGREEMENT]


'Now this is my Pokémon trade machine.'


I brought it here in order to investigate


the effects of Chargestone Cave on evolution.


What a cool-looking machine.


[AWED]


Wow, I've never seen a Pokémon trade machine before.


[AGREEMENT]


I can't wait to witness every step of the recipe.


Oh, boy, oh, boy!


Professor, please don't make me wait another minute.


Can we start, please?


Let's record the pre-evolution data first.


To accomplish that, I suggest we have a battle.


Hmm. Observing the blend of those


two Pokémon battling together would be a treat indeed.


I want to see that too. [EXCITED]


Okay. They're gonna have a battle!


Can you tell I'm ready?


♪ A new adventure another day


♪ One more challenge that comes our way ♪


♪ It's up to me and you


♪ You know what we've gotta do


♪ We are together now friends forever now ♪


♪ Whatever comes our way we won't run away ♪


♪ Standing tall


♪ One for all


♪ It's our destiny


♪ Pokémon ♪


ASH "Evolution Exchange Excitement!"


Professor Juniper, preparations for data collection complete.


Oh, but we can't have a battle without a judge.


At your service, professor. It's a one-on-one battle.


It's over when one side is unable to continue.


So let's get this battle underway.


Alright, professor, here I go with Shelmet!


[READY]


POKEDEX Shelmet, the snail Pokémon.


Shelmet closes its shell to protect itself from attacks.


It also produces and spits out a poisonous, sticky liquid.


[CURIOUS]/[CONFUSED]


[MOCKING]/[SCARED]


Shelmet!


Hey, Axew. That wasn't very nice.


I'm so sorry, Shelmet. [CONFUSED]


I hope Shelmet's gonna be okay.


[chuckles] And now, of course, Karrablast.


[READY]/[SCARED]


POKEDEX Karrablast the clamping Pokémon.


Karrablast live in forests and fields


and often hide in trees or grass when threatened.


They can also defend themselves by spitting acid.


Hmm. Karrablast sounds pretty tough.


[AGREEMENT] Alright, battle begin!


Bianca, you have the honor!


Okay, Shelmet, let's go!


- Hey, Shelmet? - Huh?


[SCARED]


[laughs]


On second thought, why don't you have the honor?


Me? Alright then.


Karrablast, Peck, let's go!


[PECK MOVE]


Shelmet, Protect now!


[PROTECT MOVE]


[EXERTION]/[CONFUSED]


[PECK MOVE]


IRIS 'Wow, look at that!'


'Karrablast's really going after it'


but Shelmet's defense is super strong!


- Yeah! - Use Take Down!


[TAKE DOWN MOVE]


Shelmet, use Protect!


[PROTECT MOVE]


[gasping]


[CONCERNED]


Come on, Bianca. You've gotta attack more!


[COMMANDING]


Yeah? Easy for you to say


but my little Shelmet is really shy.


[NERVOUS]


Well, then I guess I'll just have to attack again.


- 'What's going on?' - Huh?


Professor, we've got a problem.


Professor, big trouble!


'Come take a look at this right away!'


Time out! This battle's on hold.


What's wrong?


We're picking up lots of strange electrical readings!


'There are strange readings coming from the cave too.'


Oh, no.



We're detecting an irregular electrical reaction


coming from Area .


Oh, dear.


In that case, we may not be able to carry out the Pokémon Trade.


[Bianca gasps] But why? Why?


The interference is affecting the Pokémon trade machine.


What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?


- What am I gonna do? - Come on, relax, Bianca!


They're trying to figure out the problem at this moment!


Getting all worked up isn't going to do you


or them any good!


Well, I guess you're right, Iris.


You know what? This could be the work of Team Rocket.


[SHOCKED]


Hmm, it does have a suspicious aroma.


We can't be sure it's Team Rocket.


Let's investigate Area anyway!


What in the world's going on in there?


KLINKLANG [PAINED]


'We've heard that off and on for a while now.'


- Creepy! What is that? - Huh?


Don't worry! We're going in.


We're coming too. [DETERMINED]


The readings are getting stronger!


KLINKLANG [PAINED]


It's coming from that way.


What's that? [CONTENT]


POKEDEX Klink, the Gear Pokémon.


In order for Klink to survive


it produces energy by spinning its twin interlocking bodies.


So that sound we we've been hearing came from these Klink?


Not true.


There's nothing wrong at all with any of these Klink!


- Huh? - Huh?


It's this way!


'The sound is coming from that Klinklang without a doubt.'


[PAINED]


Klinklang?


Hmm! The final evolution of Klink.


[PAINED]


POKEDEX Klinklang, the Gear Pokémon


and the final evolved form of Klink.


Klinklang uses its spikes to fire charged energy


into its environment using its red core as an energy band.


[EXERTION]/[SHOCKED]


[screaming]


Oh, no! What's going on?


[PAINED]


Looks like there's something wrong


with Klinklang!


ASH 'Look out, Professor Juniper!'


I'm fine! Thanks.


- 'But, professor!' - Now listen to this.


[PAINED]


MAN # 'The device the professor's


using sends out soundwaves that Gear Pokémon love.'


[STRUGGLING]


JUNIPER 'It's okay.'


Take it easy.


'She's getting through to Klinklang!'


Look how much Klinklang's calmed down.


Wow! Awesome!


[RELIEVED] Oh!


There we go. You should be fine now.


[RELIEVED]


ASH 'Check it out!'


Electrical waves stabilized.


That's the most amazing thing I've ever seen!


What did you do?


JUNIPER 'I simply pulled out this pen.'


This was keeping its gears from turning.


And that caused Klinklang to release excess electricity


which interfered with the electricity in the cave.


Wow.


Have you detected any sign of people in the area?


No one. Except ourselves.


Huh. They must be gone.


[SURPRISED]


Is something bothering you, Professor Juniper?


Uh, well, whoever it was


they're not here anymore.


So problem solved.


Why don't we go back and begin the trade?


Thought you'd never ask.


Alright. Time to return, Karrablast.


[HAPPY]


And the same with your Shelmet.


Right. Here we go, Shelmet.


Time for you to evolve


and let Professor Juniper take care of you.


[AGREEMENT] Shelmet, return!


We're all ready, professor.


Excellent!


'Beginning trade.'


[all gasp]


Alright. The trade is complete.


[chuckles]


- Here you go. - I'm so excited!


I've been waiting for so long!


Thank you so much.



It's awesome! We did it!


Shelmet, come on out!


[READY]


[READY]


Whoa! Cool!


Shelmet just evolved into Accelgor!


Right on cue.


POKEDEX Accelgor, the shell out Pokémon


and the evolved form of Shelmet.


Accelgor has become much more agile


since its shell was removed


allowing it to move like a ninja when battling.


Look at that.


It uses Quick Attack, Substitute


Recover and Hyper Beam.


It appears you're able to use all sorts of moves.


Karrablast, let's see you evolve!


[READY]


[READY]


Oh, wow!


POKEDEX Escavalier, the Cavalry Pokémon


and the evolved form of Karrablast.


Escavalier's body is protected by steel armor.


So Escavalier inherited Shelmet's beautiful shell!


Quick Guard and Iron Defense and Fury Attack and Hyper Beam.


That's a pretty impressive lineup!


Nice to meet you, Escavalier!


Why does Escavalier look mad?


No, no, Ash. It's not mad.


Isn't that right, Escavalier?


[ANGRY]


[screaming]


Stop, stop, stop! Leave me alone! Leave me alone!


Help, help, help, help! Please stop chasing me!


Guess that leaves me no choice.


Accelgor, Substitute!


[SUBSTITUTE MOVE]


[yelling]


[EXERTION]


[CONFUSED]


Now quickly get Escavalier back into its Poké Ball!


[CONFUSED]


Escavalier, return!


Why are you so mad?


Escavalier might have inherited Shelmet's shell


but it still has Karrablast's very aggressive personality.


I'll say this. Escavalier's taste in battle is obvious.


Even so, I kind of doubt


that Bianca's going to be able to deal with its personality.


- Could be. - Professor Juniper


isn't there anything I can do?


Well, perhaps..


Say, we were in the middle of a battle


between Shelmet and Karrablast, correct?


Yes.


Alright, since you and I went to all that trouble


to evolve those two, let's have a tag battle!


A tag battle would help?


Yes! I think we need to do something


that will help Escavalier get rid of some of that


excess energy we just witnessed.


You're right! Let's go! Let's go!


And would it be alright


if I asked you to be our opponents?


- Sure! - Hmm. A tag battle.


I like how this recipe's taking shape!


Yay! A tag battle! Yippee, woo-hoo!


GROUP Who's that Pokémon?


GROUP It's Karrablast!


MAN # 'I'll record the data


on Accelgor and Escavalier!'


And I'll be honored to be the judge!


'Each Trainer will be using one Pokémon '


'and the battle is over when both Pokémon '


'on a team are unable to continue.'


Alright! Begin!


Alright! Boldore, I choose you!


[READY]


Excellent!


It's truly rocking and rolling tag team time!


Crustle, let's go!


[READY]


JUNIPER We've got some tough opponents


for our post evolution debut.


Accelgor, come on out!


[READY]


[thinking] It's up to you.


Go, Escavalier!


[READY]/[ANGRY]


Ya-ya-yai!


Why won't Escavalier like me?


If you won't attack first, we will.


Boldore, Rock Smash!


[ROCK SMASH MOVE]


[PAINED]


Crustle, X-Scissor!


[X-SCISSOR MOVE]


[EXERTION]


Quick Attack, let's go!


[QUICK MOVE]



[PAINED]


It's fast!


That's just the way the professor works!


Okay, Bianca, now it's your turn!


[EXCITED]


Uh, excuse me, Escavalier?


[FURY ATTACK]/[EXERTION]


Escavalier's fast too.


True. Words to the wise.


Wow! Bianca, that was great!


'You and Escavalier are in perfect sync!'


PIKACHU [AGREEMENT]


[ANGRY]


Nice battling, Bianca. Impressive Fury Attack.


[nervous chuckle] Well, thank you.


Although I still haven't given a single command.


What? Is that true?


Oh! Escavalier!


[ANNOYED]


You're lots harder to deal with than shy little Shelmet.


[ANNOYED]


Come on, Bianca! Pull it together!


[COMMANDING]


Let's concentrate on Escavalier first.


Focusing our attacks on Escavalier is a smart strategy.


Let's do it. Now use Rock Slide!


[ROCK SLIDE MOVE]


[EXERTION]


Boldore, Rock Blast!


[ROCK BLAST MOVE]


[PAINED]


Oh! Escavalier, no!


Accelgor, Substitute!


[SUBSTITUTE MOVE]


[ROCK BLAST MOVE]


[RELIEVED]


Uh, Cilan?


I think that one was a fake.


Not sure where the real one is.


Accelgor, awesome!


You really helped Escavalier a lot!


[CONCERNED]


[CONFUSED]


[TIRED]


[CONFUSED]


[URGING]


Escavalier, Accelgor used Substitute


and that protected you.


Teamwork is what tag battles are all about!


BIANCA 'Oh, poor Accelgor.


It doesn't look good at all.' [PAINED]


JUNIPER 'Substitute can drain


a huge amount of stamina!'


Now, Boldore. Flash Cannon. go!


[FL*SH CANNON MOVE]


[EXCITED]


Accelgor won't be able to handle another attack!


[EXCITED] [DETERMINED]


Escavalier's trying to protect Accelgor!


[EXERTION]


Crustle, use Rock Slide!


[ROCK SLIDE MOVE]


Iron Defense!


[IRON DEFENSE MOVE]


Yippee! Escavalier followed my command!


Accelgor, time for you to use Recover!


[RECOVER MOVE]


Oh, man!


We were so close to defeating Accelgor.


Escavalier, thank you!


Alright, Bianca. Ready?


Yeah, let's counter attack!


Accelgor, Quick Attack!


[QUICK MOVE]


Escavalier, Fury Attack!


[FURY MOVE]


[PAINED] [EXERTION]/[PAINED]


They're super-fast!


All that speed is too much for us!


[FURY MOVE]/[PAINED]


ASH Boldore, are you okay?


Stay strong, Crustle!


Our attacks have left them wide open.


Let's combine two Hyper Beams into one.


Sure!


- Alright, double Hyper Beam! - Alright, double Hyper Beam!


[HYPER BEAM MOVE]


- Ah! - Uh!


Boldore, you've gotta protect Crustle, quick!


[FOCUSED]/[PAINED]


[DAZED]


Boldore!


Boldore's unable to battle.


- Yeah! - Yeah!


Boldore, return!


It's all up to you, Cilan!


Right! I promise you


all of Boldore's hard work will not have been in vain.


- One more to go. - Yeah. It's a piece of cake.


- Alright, double Hyper Beam! - Alright, double Hyper Beam!



[HYPER BEAM MOVE]


Crustle, Shell Smash!


[SHELL SMASH MOVE]


- Huh? - Huh?


Now use Rock Wrecker!


[ROCK WRECKER MOVE]


[PAINED]


[both gasp]


Rock Wrecker, one more time!


[ROCK WRECKER MOVE]


[EXERTION]


[PAINED]


[DAZED]


[both gasp]


MAN # 'Accelgor and Escavalier'


are both unable to battle!


So the winners are Cilan and Ash!


[laughs]


- Yeah! - Yeah!


Oh, and for a while, we were doing so well.


I know it's a shame we didn't win the battle


but winning's not why I did it.


Huh?


I was thinking a tag battle


would be the perfect way to get you and Escavalier


'in sync.'


Thank you.


I get it now!


Awesome teamwork is as much about endurance


as it is about attacking!


CILAN You two were so close!


That was a good battle.


And fun too!


[AGREEMENT]


[chuckles] It was fun.


Thank you. You were so great.


[CONFUSED]


[giggling]


I really think Escavalier's starting to listen to me!


We understand each other.


I totally thought we were going to win!


Professor, here's all the data.


Hmm! That's quite an increase in their power.


It's a real accomplishment to make it that far


against a Gym Leader like Cilan.


And that's just what you did.


Yeah! You're right! We did!


And we'll really show them the next time.


[AGREEMENT]


Escavalier, return!


Wow! Professor Juniper, thanks for everything!


And with Escavalier's help


I'm sure I'll be able to catch more and more Pokémon.


Okay, got to run!


[laughs] Bye-bye!


No one can accuse her of being sleepy.


She goes to show some things never change.


That's Bianca.


[HAPPY]


NARRATOR And so, after a dramatic


evolution exchange Shelmet and Karrablast have evolved


into Accelgor and Escavalier.


Escavalier has learned important lessons


in its tag battle against Ash and Cilan


as our heroes Unova League journey continues.


[CONFUSED]


[SHOCKED]


Huh?


[gasps] Papa!


- Papa? - Papa?


[groans]


NARRATOR As the journey continues.
