15x33 - Crisis at Ferroseed Research!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR Acting on a recommendation


from Mr. Hatterly's butler


our heroes are planning to board a boat


bound for Virbank City.


One little boat ride and I'll get my eighth Unova badge.


Ready, Pikachu?


[DETERMINED]


Look, Ash, the port's right up ahead.


I hear they have regular trips to Virbank City.


[EXERTION]


- Huh? - Huh?


Help! An Ice-type!


Please! Somebody save us!


[CURIOUS] 'Who's that Pokémon?'


POKEDEX Vanilluxe,


the Snowstorm Pokémon.


And the evolved form of Vanillish.


Vanilluxe produces snow clouds


by swallowing great quantities of water.


It emits a blizzard when both heads are angered.


[HAPPY]/[EXERTION] What do you want?


VANILLUXE [CURIOUS]


AXEW [PANICKED]


GEORGIA 'Vanilluxe, return.'


[groaning]


Huh? [SURPRISED]


It's Georgia.


[SHOCKED] What can I tell you?


My Vanilluxe only wants to make friends with a Dragon-type.


So I guess, that would be Axew, right?


Let's get this straight.


I only caught Vanilluxe


so I could beat you, Miss Dragon Master.


But you already know I'm not a Dragon Master yet.


No, duh! That's because you're still too weak.


Not as weak as a little kid like you.


Go on, make jokes. I'm out of here.


Because I'm on my way to Ferroseed Research.


Ferroseed Research?


Never heard of it? What a kid.


Huh? Of course, I have.


They research Steel and Grass-type Ferroseed.


- Why do you care? - It's their moss.


That moss improves a Pokémon's skills.


That sounds intriguing.


You bet! And so is my powered-up Vanilluxe.


You'll see. Toodles.


We should go check out that research place too.


[EXCITED]


Where are you going?


Guess that means us.

ASH "Crisis At Ferroseed Research."


CASE 'Welcome to Ferroseed Research.'


I'm glad you're here. My name's Case


one of Professor Malveaux's lab research assistants.


Nice to meet you. My name's Georgia.


You see, I'm here because I heard you grow moss


that improves the skills of Pokémon.


I want to check some of that too!


My name's Ash. And this is my partner, Pikachu.


[FRIENDLY]


- Greetings, I'm Cilan. - Huh?


And my name's Iris. Hi.


[FRIENDLY]


Just exactly when did I say you could come with me?


- You didn't? Oh, well.. - How nice.


It's gratifying to meet young people


who are interested in our research.


Let's head for the second floor.


[elevator dings]


Professor Malveaux is at a meeting right at the moment


so I'll show you around.


[FOCUSED]


Whoa! Are those Ferroseed?


POKEDEX Ferroseed,


the Thorn Seed Pokémon.


Ferroseed absorb minerals from rock


by penetrating the walls of caves using their spikes.


[INTENT]


[EXERTION]


[instrumental music]


- I see. - Huh..


So the spikes must be filled with the moss.


They absorb minerals from rocks


and transform them into moss spores.


They pack their spikes with the spores and then launch them.


But why do that?


The oxygen produced by the moss during photosynthesis


improves the Ferroseed's environment.



'At least that's our theory.'


[EXERTION]


GEORGIA But look!


Isn't that moss a different color from the rest?


CASE This moss is taken from rocks


located at the Driftveil Mine


while that moss is from rocks from Desert Resort.


It's a little like two separate restaurants


having two different menus.


You hit the nail on the head.


That's what we research!


[elevator dings]


CASE Now here's our third


floor lab complex.


[instrumental music]


Oh!


Heat resistance, absorbency, and strength


that's what we research.


The team of assistants Professor Malveaux has assembled


at Ferroseed Research


experiments with many different types of moss


in all sorts of creative applications.


There must be a ton of ways to use it.


[AMAZED]


Wow! Are they from Chargestone Cave?


[EXERTION]


Right. We've just begun to work with them.


Discovering what kinds of moss they'll produce


with those charged stones has us all very excited.


Where's the moss I want?


The moss that improves a Pokémon's skills.


Oh, that's right.


It's up on the fourth floor.


[INTENT]


[EXERTION]


[FOCUSED]


[elevator dings]


Here we create moss that increases attack power


for Fire-types, defense for Grass-types


and speed for Psychic-types.


But do you have moss for Ice-types?


Moss that works on Vanilluxe?


[APPEARING]


Here we go! [NERVOUS]


- Huh? - Uh?


[EXCITED]


Oshawott? [CURIOUS]


[ENAMORED]


[screaming]


[EXERTION]


Huh?


[PANICKED]


IRIS 'Axew, wait!'


Talk about things getting pretty out of control.


[EXASPERATED]


I need some moss that will change Vanilluxe's personality


and increase it's power. Help me, please!


Sorry, so far, we haven't yet discovered


a moss that works on Ice-types.


What? Oh, no!


I doubt moss would change


Vanilluxe's personality even if they had some.


And the best way to increase Vanilluxe's power is training.


Am I right, Pikachu?


[AGREEMENT] [dramatic music]


Huh? Huh!


[gasping]


[screaming]


Wow! We came so far.


As soon was we discover a moss that works on Ice-types


I promise we'll get in touch.


- Thanks. - Okay.


I'll go find Iris and the others.


[alarm blaring]


It's the emergency alarm on the third floor.


- 'Huh!' - Huh? What's that?


Moss.


Here it comes!


[DETERMINED]


[CONFUSED]


[DAZED]


Pikachu, what's wrong?


You okay?


It's a code red!


We've got to get to the underground control room!


- Alright. - Huh-uh..


[groans]


[shattering]


[music continues]


Huh?


What's going on?


AXEW [PANICKED]


VANILLUXE [CURIOUS]


OSHAWOTT [ENAMORED]


[ANNOYED]


[SHOCKED]


[STRUGGLING]


[UPSET]


[PROUD]


Axew! Huh?



[RELIEVED]


Axew, you okay?


[ENAMORED]


[groaning]


Come on! Stop it! Stop it!


[HAPPY]


[intense music]


Don't worry, Pikachu. I'm right here.


[WEAK]


It came on so suddenly what could've done this?


Ferroseed moss. I'm sure of it.


CASE 'Professor Malveaux!'


PROFESSOR MALVEAUX 'Obviously this Pikachu inhaled


a large amount of moss spores.'


And they're causing a reaction that's making Pikachu sick.


'Oh, now I see.'


'Those Ferroseed must have absorbed'


the power from the charged stones.


There is a treatment made from a blend of Lum Berries


Mago Berries and the extract of White Herb.


- Give some to Pikachu. - Right away, sir.


It's not just Pikachu who inhaled the spores.


I'm certain we inhaled them as well! Will it affect us?


And what about all the other Pokémon?


My Vanilluxe is still upstairs.


Based on our research data


I don't think it has any effect on humans at all.


However, Pokémon are another story altogether.


Professor, there's a call from the Pokémon Center.


- This is Nurse Joy. - Malveaux here.


It appears that a few of our Ferroseed


have caused some serious trouble


and for that I offer my deepest apologies.


So, the trouble we've been having


started at your research center.


'Pokémon are arriving here at the center one after another'


in extreme distress. I suspected moss spores.


Do you have any idea why every Pokémon I've seen so far


has either been an Electric-type or a Ground-type?


- Huh? - Electric-type or Ground-type?


That explains Pikachu.


Thank goodness. Vanilluxe is safe for the time being.


There's an effective treatment we can guide you to prepare


that I strongly suggest you use.


We'll give it a try. Thank you.


MAN # 'The moss is spreading quickly.'


I'll request assistance from Officer Jenny right away.


Tell her to close off every inbound bridge.


We must control the damage as best we can.


Right!


This is the professor's exact formula for the treatment.


Don't worry.


That's great. Thanks a lot, Case.


'Just take it easy, Pikachu. You'll be better in no time.'


[PAINED]


Looks like the moss has filled the fourth floor


and will reach the roof soon.


- Who's up there? - It's Iris!


- Look! - Huh?


Let's get back downstairs to the others.


Huh?


[screaming]


GROUP Who's that Pokémon?


GROUP It's Ferroseed.


[INTENT]


Oh, no!


[gasps] What is that stuff?


[sighs]


- 'Iris!' - Huh?


IRIS 'Cilan! What's going on?'


The moss from the third floor is rapidly growing out of control!


It doesn't appear to affect people in a negative way


but it's a completely different story


for Electric-type and Ground-type Pokémon!


Huh? Electric-type and Ground-types?


If something happens to my Vanilluxe


you're going to be sorry. You got it?


IRIS 'Uh-huh?'


[SHOCKED]


[FRANTIC]


Huh?


Oshawott, get back!


Let's go.


[PANICKED]


Oh! no!


We've got to do something!


'Excadrill! Emolga!'


[APPEARING]


[HAPPY]


Quick! Excadrill, Focus Blast and Emolga, Hidden Power!


[EXERTION]


[SURPRISED]/[DAZED]


Huh? Of course!


A Ground-type and an Electric-type!


'Return!'


[groaning]


[NERVOUS]


Don't worry, Axew, you're safe with me.


[WATER g*n MOVE]


Nice work!



[HAPPY]


[PLEASED]


[Iris screams]


[SCARED]


What do we do?


Huh? Were in trouble, Vanilluxe! Please do something!


[ICY WIND MOVE]


MAN # Huh?


The monitor's out. It's got to be the moss.


Professor, did you see that?


The moss' reaction to the Icy Wind.


Yes, it could be the moss is vulnerable to Ice-type moves.


- Huh? - Huh? Ice-type moves?


Contact Officer Jenny right away and let her know


that she will be able to use Ice-type moves


to clear our city of all the moss.


Yes, sir.


Huh? The Ferroseed!


[dramatic music]


That Ferroseed has absorbed much more electricity


in its body from the charged stone


than would be considered safe.


[EXERTION]


We need to remove that excess electricity.


That should stop the moss as well.


Wait! The problem is how are we going to get to the third floor?


We don't have any Ice-type Pokémon here in the laboratory.


- You just leave that to me. - Huh?


- 'Huh?' - Beartic, come on out!


[APPEARING]


- What luck. - Yes!


[CY WIND MOVE]


[music continues]


[EXERTION] Wow! Vanilluxe is awesome!


[AGREEMENT] [EXERTION]


Me of all people rescued by an Ice-type. Who knew?


CILAN 'Sleep well.'


ASH 'Yeah.'


CASE 'Be careful, Professor.'


PROFESSOR MALVEAUX Right.


Georgia, shall we go?


Once Pikachu feels better, we'll come too.


Don't worry one bit.


We've got my Beartic, remember?


[instrumental music]


[EXERTION]


[EXERTION]


[EXERTION]


Now, Ice Beam!


[ICE BEAM MOVE]


Yes! That's the way to do it.


[PLEASED]


Vanilluxe! Icy Wind!


[ICY WIND MOVE]


Wow! Way to go!


[HAPPY]


PROFESSOR MALVEAUX 'How are they doing?'


CASE 'Excellent.'


We'll soon be able to get to the third floor.


Come on, buddy.


Hurry up and feel better.


[WEAK]


The Ferroseed that started all this


are right around here.


Vanilluxe! Icy Wind!


[ICY WIND MOVE]


OSHAWOTT [URGENT]


[INTENT]


Look! There they are!


[AGREEMENT] [EXERTION]


More moss!


So, in that case, we'll just use Icy Wind again.


[ICY WIND MOVE]


[EXERTION] Huh?


- 'Ice Beam!' - Huh?


BEARTIC [ICE BEAM MOVE]


Georgia! Beartic!


For someone who doesn't like Ice-types


you're not doing so bad.


Mm-hm. [EXERTION]


- Professor! - Right.


[instrumental music]


[SURPRISED]/[STRUGGLING]


I'm sorry, if it's painful.


Now, Ferroseed, come to me.


[STRUGGLING]


CASE Yes!


Using a device powered by the charged stones


to collect Ferroseed worked. Right.


[GROGGY]


Yeah! Morning, buddy. How're you feelin'?


[SURPRISED]/[HAPPY]


Alright! That's great!


[gasping]


[ANGRY]


PROFESSOR MALVEAUX Quick! Get back!


- Uh? - What happened?


[PAINED]


- Oh, no! - Trouble.


The Ferroseed don't seem to be able to control themselves.



'We need to drain all their electricity'


'before we can treat them.'


Pikachu, let's go.


[AGREEMENT]


[FRANTIC]


[EXERTION]


Uh-oh. Not again.


Vanilluxe! Use Icy Wind!


Beartic! Ice Beam, go!


VANILLUXE/BEARTIC [ICY WIND MOVE]/[ICE BEAM MOVE]


[EXHAUSTED]


Both Vanilluxe and Beartic are completely exhausted.


You'd better not push them any more.


I hear you, Cilan, but we can't stop.


[INTENT]


More spikes? This is awful!


How long can they keep this up?


Beartic, return for now.


PIKACHU [HURRIED] Ash, Pikachu.


Pignite, Flamethrower!


[APPEARING]


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


Great, Pignite, return! Go, Pikachu!


[EXERTION]


[FOCUSED]


Your Pikachu is absorbing the electricity


into it's own body. Brilliant!


Now, Stunfisk, help Pikachu!


[APPEARING]


[FOCUSED]


It's working!


We're going to be alright!


Awesome!


FERROSEED x [PAINED]


- We did it! - Yes, a complete success!


[EXCITED]


Are you alright?


I'm sorry I put you through so much pain.


[TIRED]


Pikachu, release your stored up electricity out there.


You too, Stunfisk.


[AGREEMENT]


[EXERTION]


[CURIOUS]


[DETERMINED]


[screaming]


[SURPRISED]


[PAINED]


Well, it doesn't get spicier than that.


For sure.


- Oh, what a kick. - Oh, what a kick.


[DAZED]


[EXASPERATED]


'The moss has been stopped completely.'


Hmm.


My sincere apologies to you for all the trouble.


I hope you'll be able to forgive us.


Well, I'm so glad the Ferroseed and the other Pokémon are fine.


And thanks to the powerful treatment you told us


how to formulate, all the Pokémon here


are back to good health.


Great! And as for you..


Your help was invaluable. You saved my research lab.


Thank you all.


[laughing]


GEORGIA Iris, instead of a Dragon Master


maybe you're more suited to becoming an Ice Master.


- Ice Master? - Right.


For someone who can't stand Ice-types


you and my Vanilluxe were sure in perfect sync.


Whatever, things worked out alright.


But I think Axew and I


are gonna take a pass on that. Right, Axew?


[AGREEMENT]


Well, that's a relief.


Otherwise, how will I be able to crush you


if you're not a Dragon Master?


Yeah, well, we'll just see who gets crushed.


Hmph.


Although it's hard to admit it


Vanilluxe really saved the day.


Hope you'll thank it for me.


Hm?


Well, if I get the chance. See you later!


Okay, see you, Georgia!


CILAN Best wishes, safe travels.


[engine whirring]


Wow! We're finally going to Virbank City.


My heart's fluttering with anticipation.


Cool! I'm going for my eighth badge.


And I'm gonna get it, no doubt.


[EXCITED]


NARRATOR Once again, our heroes


have saved the day this time at Ferroseed Research


with the help of Georgia, Vanilluxe and Beartic.


Now Virbank City awaits


along with the chance for Ash to win his eighth Gym badge


as the journey continues.
