[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR After successfully challenging


Roxie the Virbank Gym Leader


Ash has won his eighth and final Unova badge


in a raging battle.


And because of that, our heroes' entry


into the Unova League is guaranteed.


Now that I've got eight Gym badges


I wanna compete in the Unova League right away.


That's great. I'm thrilled for you, Ash.


- Congratulations. - That's really nice, Nurse Joy.


- 'Thanks.' - 'But..'


The Unova League isn't going to take place


for another three months.


Another three months? Sounds like forever to me.


[AGREEMENT]


We know what to do.


We'll train super hard and be super ready


for when it comes around.


Great idea.


Alright. Where are you going to train?


Well, I don't really know.


Wait, let's not forget we're in Virbank City.


I'm sure your training can wait until after you've had a taste


of Virbank's famous Bearticone.


Famous Bearticone?


[HAPPY]


I know.


First, we each get our hands on a Bearticone, then train.


- Yeah. - Yeah.


♪ A new adventure another day


♪ One more challenge that comes our way ♪


♪ It's up to me and you


♪ We know what we've got to 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 All for the love of Meloetta.


ASH/IRIS/CILAN Whoa!


CILAN Ha ha ha. I can't believe it.


This is the exact location


where they filmed "Princess Pokémon's Holiday."


Of course, there's that famous scene


where the Princess is eating a Bearticone


on these very steps.


It's always been a dream of mine


to have a luscious Bearticone right here.


So let's stop talking and get one.


- Uh, not so fast. - Hm?


'No Bearticone eating on the steps.'


What a shame.


I guess everyone's got the same idea as you.


But we can still grab a Bearticone


and eat somewhere else.


Yeah.


CYNTHIA 'Hmm.'


'Chocolate chip? Mint?'


'Strawberry? No.'


Maybe I should just stick with good old vanilla.


It's just too hard to make a choice.


- Hey, wait. - Huh?


Something wrong?


Could that be Cynthia?


- Huh? - Cynthia? No.


- Cynthia, is that you? - Huh?


- Why, it's Ash. - I knew it. Long time, no see.


[EXCITED]


Wait, Ash, are you telling me you're friends


with Cynthia, the Sinnoh region champion?


Yeah. Long story.


Huh.


I'm glad to see you're doing well.


- Pikachu too. - Thanks.


[HAPPY]


Uh, I'm a Pokémon Connoisseur named Cilan.


Hello. My name's Iris.


I'd like you to meet my partner, Axew.


[HAPPY]


Nice to meet you.


Uh, uh, Cynthia?


- Hm? - Uh, nothing.


So how come you're in Virbank City?


There's a plane going to Eastern Unova


that leaves from here.


Wow, Eastern Unova?


Which part of it are you visiting?


Undella Town first and then Lacunosa Town.


Lacunosa Town is hosting the upcoming


Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup.


Junior tournament Pokémon cup of world junior?


No, it's called the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup.


They asked me to take part in an exhibition match.


And you're gonna do it?


Does that mean we'll get to see you battle live?


Sure. But one of the main reasons


why the Junior Cup Tournament has gotten so popular


is the fact that anybody can enter.


Maybe I'll enter. That would be great.


The tournament winner gets the honor



of battling Alder, the Unova region champion.


- I'm in for sure. - Then I'm gonna enter too.


Interesting. I think I'll enter as well.


Cool. We'll be in great shape for the Unova League.


Man, am I psyched.


[EXCITED]


- But first things first. - Huh?


One Bearticone, please.


[all gasping]


Target located.


These goggles Dr. Zager made for us


are turning this mission into a breeze on a summer's day.


- Then let's get catching. - Indeed.


- Now, Woobat. - And, Yamask.


- Let's go. - Let's go.


[APPEARING] [CONFIDENT]


Woobat, use Air Slash on the bush at o'clock.


Yamask, use Shadow Ball.


[AIR SLASH MOVE]


[SHADOW BALL MOVE]


[SURPRISED]


We've brought it out of hiding.


- Now, Meowth. - Okey-doke.


We're locked on target. Fire.


[SCARED]


MEOWTH I thought it went down here.


- But where? - We'd better find out and fast.


- Right. - Right.


There's nothing tastier than a Bearticone, right, Pikachu?


[AGREEMENT]


It tasted like I was the star of "Princess Pokémon's Holiday."


- Excuse me, Cynthia? - Yes, Iris?


[PAINED] [ALERT]


ASH/CYNTHIA Huh?


[tires screeching]


[PAINED]


Hey. You okay? Huh?


[PAINED]


Huh? [WORRIED]


[SCARED] Look out!


[SCARED]


It's a Meloetta. An extremely rare Pokémon.


It's obviously been injured. It needs help.


Right.


[WORRIED]


[PAINED] Huh?


Bring it over here, Ash.


- Right. - Now lay it down gently.


[PAINED]


Amazing.


Such quick and precise treatment.


It's incredible.


That should take care of the wound.


That's great.


But it's still very weak. Let's see.


Do you think one of you could go and find me an Oran Berry?


No problem. I'll go get one now.


[AGREEMENT]


- And I can go with her. - I'm counting on you.


Ash, I'd like you to stay here and help me.


Okay.


[PAINED]


Meloetta has a bit of a fever.


Hey, Cynthia, what are we doing here?


We're making Meloetta an ice pack.


- Huh? - Watch and you'll see.


Glaceon.


[APPEARING]


[CONFIDENT]


Use Ice Beam to freeze some of the river water.


[ICE BEAM MOVE]


That should do it. Thanks very much, Glaceon.


Return.


Now all we do is crush the ice.


Okay. Got it.


[PAINED]


[WORRIED]


[ALERT]


CYNTHIA Place the pack under its head.


Right. [PAINED]


Now gently wipe its face with this.


Got it.


[RELIEVED]


Huh? Ha ha.


That should help the fever.


All we need now is an Oran Berry.


[cell phone rings] Huh?


Who could this be? Yes?


That's right. This is Cynthia.


Are you kidding?


- Huh? - I understand.


But I'm afraid I can't come right now.


Don't worry, Cynthia. We'll look after Meloetta.


[AGREEMENT]


Wow, that's so nice.


Yes, I'll be there as soon as I can.


I'm sorry, but there's a situation


I need to take care of back in Virbank City right away.


No problem. We'll keep an eye on Meloetta.


[AGREEMENT] I'll be back as soon I can.



Thanks.


You'll feel better soon.


[ASSURING]


[RELIEVED] Take it easy, okay?


[HAPPY]


That's it. You need lots of rest.


[AGREEMENT] 'Huh?'


[CURIOUS]


What, Oshawott?


[CONFIDENT]


[SLEEPING]


Hmm, the ice has melted already.


I'm gonna go get us some more.


'Oshawott, stay here with Meloetta while we're gone.'


[HAPPY]


Okay, let's go.


[HAPPY]


GROUP Who's that Pokémon?


GROUP It's Meloetta.


[HAPPY]


Hmm.


I know that Oran Berries usually grow the best


in bright sunny places.


- True. - Like maybe over there.


- Uh, ah. - Huh?


- There they are. - You found some.


- Cilan, you stay here. - Huh?


Huh?


Now. Huh?


Don't do it, Iris.


It's much too dangerous to climb up like that.


- Yeah. - Let's look somewhere else.


- Hold on, I know what to do. - Huh?


Alright, Emolga, come on out.


[APPEARING]


[EXCITED]


Would you help us by getting an Oran Berry from up there?


[AGREEMENT]


Alley-oop.


A brilliant plan. Look at Emolga go.


- Alright. - Alright.


Thanks so much, Emolga.


[HAPPY]


- Quick, let's go back. - Right.


- Huh? What is that noise? - Who knows?


- Huh? - Huh?


- It's Ash and Pikachu. - But what are those two doing?


Emolga, we'll meet you on the other side.


[AGREEMENT]


[Ash grunting]


[EXERTION]


[sighs] That should be enough.


Let's head back.


- Ash. - Huh?


What are you doing?


We were getting some ice for Meloetta's ice pack.


You see, Cynthia had her Glaceon use Ice Beam


and froze a part of the river.


Ingenious. A creative recipe for success.


What about the Oran Berry? Did you find one?


Yeah, and Emolga's taking it over right now.


[EXCITED]


[CONFUSED]


[SURPRISED]


[EXCITED]


[SURPRISED]


[CONFUSED]


Hey, look. Meloetta's gone.


[SURPRISED]


What could have happened to Emolga and Oshawott?


[PAINED]


[ARGUMENT]


Oh, no. What are they fighting for?


Knock it off, you two.


[AGREEMENT]


[SINGING]


ASH/IRIS/CILAN Huh?


[SINGING]


[SURPRISED]


Wow. What a voice.


It gives the lovely sensation of a silken veil


wafting down from the sky to gently surround


and comfort us with a melody from nature itself.


Sure is nice. [RELAXED]


[SINGING]


What is that song?


[RELAXED]


And to think those two were just fighting.


It's a mysterious and beautiful thing.


- Sure is. - 'That's Meloetta.'


ASH/IRIS/CILAN Huh?


I've heard it said Meloetta can heal people's hearts


with its wonderful singing.


Huh? Where'd it go? We brought back some more ice.


- There's no need anymore. - Huh?


If Meloetta were still sick, it wouldn't be able to sing


with such a beautiful voice.


I'm sure it's recovered and back in the forest.


Awesome. I'm glad we could help.


Meloetta, take care of yourself.



So shall we head over to the airport?


Yeah. Did you take care of what you needed to do?


Uh, oh, that.


Huh?


Truth is..


What's wrong?


I left my change at the Beartic Frosty Freeze Stand


and went back to get it.


ASH 'Ah.'


- Uh, excuse me, Cynthia? - Huh?


I, I have a favor to ask of you.


And what might that be?


I know that you have a Garchomp


and of course, that's a Dragon-type.


Uh-huh.


My dream is to become a Dragon Master.


You're an experienced Dragon-type Trainer.


Is there any way I could have a battle with you?


[AGREEMENT]


- Iris. - You're challenging Cynthia?


We hardly ever get to meet another Dragon-type


much less have a battle.


Having a battle with Garchomp would help Axew out a lot.


[AGREEMENT]


Cynthia, won't you please consider it?


[PLEADING]


It's obvious to me that you have


a lot of affection for your Axew.


Alright then. I'll grant your wish.


You will? She said yes.


[EXCITED]


Oh, Cynthia, thank you so much.


[HAPPY]


Are you sure it came this way?


Sure as I know my own name.


I'm getting a reading from over near that bush.


- Let's move. - Hm.


CYNTHIA Alright, you'll use Axew


and I'll use Garchomp


and it'll be a one-on-one battle. How does that sound?


IRIS Sounds great, Cynthia. Thanks.


If Cynthia is a well-seasoned chef


then Iris is a young student


making her way through cooking school.


A wonderful battling duo, no matter the outcome.


And this will be a great way to find out


how much Axew has grown.


If you like, I'll give you the first move.


Thanks. Okay, Axew, ready?


Use Scratch.


[SCRATCH MOVE]


Use Scratch again.


[SCRATCH MOVE]


Garchomp doesn't even feel a thing.


You're right. I would say our young student


is on the verge of discovering


she's no match for our well-seasoned chef.


[CONFIDENT]


[TIRED]


Now, Axew, Dragon Rage, let's go.


[DRAGON RAGE MOVE]


Wow, it worked.


[HAPPY] Go, Axew.


Well, it appears that Axew has landed a critical hit.


[CONFIDENT]


Huh?


Dragon Rage didn't do a thing.


[CONCERNED]


This is bad.


Looks like Axew is running out of options.


Garchomp, Dragon Rush.


[DRAGON RUSH MOVE]


[SCARED] [PAINED]


Axew!


Use Draco Meteor.


[DRACO METEOR MOVE]


Dodge it, quick.


[DODGE]


IRIS 'Axew, above you!'


[SURPRISED] [all gasping]


[PAINED]


- Axew. - Is it over?


Come on, you can do it.


[ENCOURAGEMENT]


[PAINED]


- Axew. - Shall we call it quits?


I don't know. Huh?


Axew.


[EXERTION]


[CONFIDENT] Axew.


Hm. We're just fine. Let's continue.


Alright. The match goes on.


[CONFIDENT]


[CONFIDENT]


[ATTACK]


[gasps] Axew.


[ATTACK]


[PAINED]


- Check it out. - That was Giga Impact.


Awesome. You learned Giga Impact on the spot.



There was damage, alright.


Garchomp, use Brick Break.


[BRICK BREAK MOVE]


[SCARED]


[SCARED]


- Axew? Huh? - Iris.


Let's end our match right here.


[all sighing]


The meeting of our well-seasoned chef


and our young student created a new recipe.


It took Axew almost losing to learn Giga Impact.


How amazing was that?


[EXCITED]


Right.


'I'm sure the experience Axew gained from today's battle'


'will be a big step forward.'


Axew, you battled really well.


And your Giga Impact was amazing.


[HAPPY]


[chuckles]


Cynthia, I don't know how to thank you.


It's obvious you've raised Axew really well.


I'm impressed. Oh, you'll become a Dragon Master.


- I'm sure of it. - Thanks.


Axew and I will work really hard.


[AGREEMENT]


MEOWTH 'Come on, already.'


It can't just disappear into thin air.


Shall we hang it up for today?


I think we should look around a little more.


[HAPPY]


Huh? It's the Twerps, boarding that seaplane.


- Huh? - What, Meowth?


Twerps, and those lame losers


are being tailed by none other than our target.


It's tailing the Twerps? Not good.


We should get to Undella Town before they do.


- That's true. - That's true.


[HAPPY]


Man, I want to win that Junior Cup


so we can battle against Alder.


[AGREEMENT]


Well, not if I beat you first.


- I guess we're rivals now. - You're right.


- Excuse me, Ash? - Yeah?


Somebody you know is waiting for you in Undella Town.


Huh?


NARRATOR Our heroes and Cynthia are off


via seaplane to Eastern Unova


where the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup


will be held. What awaits them there?


Excitement and adventure await, and the unexpected..


[Dawn panting]


Look, Piplup.


I wonder if that's the plane they're on.


[EXCITED]


...as the journey continues.
