23x10 - A Test in Paradise!

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Ash's goal is to become a Pokémon Master

and Goh wants to catch one of every kind of Pokémon,

and another exciting day of adventure awaits them both!

[reporter] We're joined now, right here in the harbor,

by a ship's captain who was actually saved by a Dragonite!

So let's hear what he has to say.

You've been through a lot!

I've heard about this, how Dragonite are known to rescue people in danger.

Dragonite? I'd love to see one!

-Pika! Pikachu. -That may not even be possible.

-[Ash] Huh? Why not? -I'll tell you why not!

First, a Dratini has to evolve into a Dragonair

before it evolves into a Dragonite!

In spite of its popularity as a Pokémon, few sightings have been made in the wild.

[Ash] Whoa! Amazing.

We're still not sure of its natural habitat.

Though there are rumors of an island that's inhabited by only Dragonite.

Yeah? An island full of Dragonite?!

So they say.

About that rumor...

Look!

I inputted all sighting data from the past few years.

This is the result.

It looks just like they're all in one area.

-Sure seems suspicious to me. -And fascinating.

-So? What do you say? -Right with you!

[both] It's off to Dragonite Island! Go!

-Pikachu! -Scorbun!

[Ash and Goh] "A Test in Paradise!"

Wow. So many Poké ba*ls!

Sure pumps you up, doesn't it?

I'm gonna catch the entire evolution chain,

and the first one I'm gonna catch is Dratini!

[Goh] I was thinking we'd hire a boat as soon as we got here,

but since we're here anyway,

-there are Dewgong in this area, you know! -Huh? I know what that means!

-[Goh] Time to catch a Pokémon to ride! -[Pikachu and Scorbunny exclaim]

First, we schlep all this way to steal a special Dragonite

to give to the boss, then wham-o!

We get tripped up by a couple of troublesome Twerps!

Who've got Dragonite on their minds as well!

They're always stealing our ideas!

You need brains to steal ideas, and they're fresh out of them!

-It's Dragonite for the boss, or bust! -Wobbuffett!

All right. Poké Ball, go!

-Awesome! -Yeah!

No, you don't. [grunts]

[yawning] Dewgong.

-Tough one. [gasps] -Well, we'll just see about that.

Here we go!

[grunts] Yah!

[grunts, yells] What?!

[female voice] Dewgong has been registered to your Pokédex!

Just like it should be.

-Mebun! -Nice work.

-Hey, thanks! -Dewgong!

[Wingulls cawing]

Shellder. [sighs]

[Goh] Somewhere around here, huh?

-Right. -Scorbun!

-Another Dewgong! -Gong!

[all screaming]

What's going on?! What's up, Dewgong?

[moaning] Dewgong!

-[sighs] -Dewgong?

-[screams] You don't mean...? -[moaning]

Dewgong!

Dewgong!

[all screaming]

Please stop! Though, I guess you won't.

-Look up there! -[screams]

-[thunder rumbles] -[Goh] You've gotta be kidding!

-[Ash and Goh scream] -Dewgong!

[cries]

-Dewgong, let's go back. -[crying]

-[thunder crackles] -[both] Huh?

Pika? Pikachu!

-[Ash and Goh gasping, grunting] -[Scorbunny exclaims]

[Ash groaning]

Huh?

[groans]

Huh?

-Ah! -[all gasping]

-[Ash] Huh? -Now what?!

-Pika. -Scor.

-Dragonite? -[Scorbunny] Huh?

These are Dragonite, aren't they?

Sure are. I think they rescued us.

[Dragonite grunts]

Do you know what this means?!

[both] This is Dragonite Island!

Being rescued by Dragonite is beyond totally amazing!

Thanks a lot, Dragonite. Really!

-Bo. -Pika, Pika?

-Scorbun! -[Dragonair coos]

[Goh chuckles]

Now, what's next? A Poké Ball!

Huh? Oh! Oh, no. Oh, no!

Not a single Poké Ball left! But why?!

[screams]

I used them all trying to catch Dewgong.

And to make matters worse, Dewgong is nowhere in sight!

-What have I done?! -You know,

you can use one of my Poké ba*ls.

Nope. No way. You might need it yourself.

-Bo. -Bo.

[Pikachu and Scorbunny exclaiming]

You already made friends, didn't you, buddy?

-Pika! -[Dragonair coos]

[Dragonite] Bo.

[Goh] You think they wanna show us around?

Yeah! So let's check out Dragonite Island now!

Pika!

[Dragonite grunts]

Whoa, Dragonite everywhere you look!

Hey, wait a sec!

Rotom, can you show me where we are?

[female voice] I am unable to pinpoint your location.

I'm out of network?!

[Dragonairs cooing]

-[gasping] -Pika?

Dragonair!

[cooing]

-Pretty, aren't they? -Pika!

Huh?

Pika? [gasps]

[cooing]

So that must be the way Dragonair fly.

-Hmm? Pika? [gasps] -Huh? [grunts]

-Scorbun! -[Ash] Scorbunny?!

What's that about?!

-Pika, Pika. -Scorbun!

[Ash and Goh] Huh?

-Scor. -A shed Dratini skin.

Huh! So where did you find it?

Scorbun!

-How far do you want us to go? -Mebun!

-Pika. -Scor!

Pika, Pika, Pika.

-Wow! Check it out! -Huh?

Scorbunny!

There's a ton of them!

-Hey, Goh, over there. -Huh?

[Dratini squeaking]

-It couldn't be evolving. -We'll find out!

[coos]

[both] That's amazing!

[Dragonair coos]

Is this okay?

-A little more so you can see its shape. -[Pikachu and Scorbunny laughing]

-Yeah, that'll be perfect. -[camera shutter clicks]

Shed Dratini skins are worth a lot.

You can make all kinds of cool things to wear out of them!

-Yeah? -Pika.

You know, Pokémon can be really mysterious.

What do you mean?

[Ash] You've got Dratini and then you've got Dragonair, right?

Dragonite, they're just not like the others.

You know, wouldn't you expect the evolution to look more like Milotic?

You're right!

[Ash] I wonder how they got arms and legs.

[Goh] Hmm...

Bo?

-[grunts] -[coos]

-I think... -Think what?

See, it's just that,

well, I think I've figured out the secret of the island, Ash.

The secret? Come on, tell me!

I figured it out when I saw those Dragonair

playing around back there.

They say that Dragonair are Pokémon who can control the weather.

It was a sign the Dragonair were using their power!

I think that the storm was created from all of their power

swirling around and around the island.

That's why no one's ever found this place.

Now that you mention it, that makes sense!

Which means you're pretty awesome!

-Uh, well, it's nothing. [gasps] -Hey, a beach!

-[Ash] Huh? -Pika?

[all gasping]

Wow!

They fly through the storm like it's nothing!

-[Ash] Huh? -[Dragonair whines]

-Bo! -[whimpers]

Maybe it doesn't know how to fly yet.

Bo.

[coos]

[grunts]

[whimpers]

[cries]

Bo.

[grunts] Bo.

[whines]

[grunts]

[whimpers]

[cries]

Pika.

-[crying continues] -[Goh] Hmm. Huh? Mm.

-Pikachu! -[Dragonair] Hmm?

-Pika? -Hey!

What do you say we do some training?

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

-Pika? -[Dragonite grunts]

Pika, Pika!

-Scor, Scorbun! -Pika, Pika!

Let's try it again, Dragonair!

-All right. -[grunts]

-[grunts] Hmm. -[whines]

[gasps]

Ash!

Didn't those Dragonair act a little strange before they took off?

-Round and round, like dancing. -Dancing?

Do you think it's Dragon Dance?

Rotom, tell me about Dragon Dance.

[female voice] Dragon Dance.

A move that combines concentration and rhythmic movement

to increase the physical skills of a Pokémon.

Bingo. That's it!

Those Dragonair must've been using Dragon Dance to help them fly!

Yes! You need to use Dragon Dance!

I'll show you how it's done, so check it out!

[coos]

You, Ash?! You'll do it?!

Dragon Dance, Dragon Dance, I know!

Pi?

Pika.

-[Goh] You sure this is okay? -'Course it is!

Dragonair will get the feeling of flying for sure!

You just watch me! Pikachu, use Electroweb!

Pikachu!

Pika, Pika, Pikachu! Pika!

[Ash] Great!

Watch me, Dragonair!

[yells]

[screams]

-[yelps] -[all gasping]

That isn't gonna work!

You can't use Electroweb like a trampoline!

[Ash] No problem.

Pikachu, let's do it again! Electroweb!

Pika.

Pika, Pika, Pikachu. Pika!

[yells, grunts]

[groans, grunts]

-[grunts, groans] -Pika.

-You okay? -[Dragonair coos]

[groans] One more time!

Now that we've finally figured out how to get Dragonair flying,

all I have to do is show it how it's done!

[coos]

Pikachu, use Electroweb!

[Dragonair grunts]

Pika, Pika, Pikachu. Pika!

[yells]

-Let's go! [grunts] -[Dragonair grunts]

[gasps] That's it!

Now go on and spin some more!

-[yelps] -[grunts]

[grunts]

Like that!

[grunts]

-It's up! -[gasps]

-[coos] -You did it, Dragonair!

-[laughs] -[Pikachu and Scorbunny cheering]

[screams] You're heavy!

-[sighs] -Pika, Pika!

-[laughing] -[coos]

Dragonair?

-Is something wrong? -Dragonair, I'll go with you!

[Dragonair grunts]

[Ash yelps]

-[coos] -You're slippery!

-[Dewgong groans] Gong. -[Goh] Huh?

-Dewgong. -Dewgong!

-You came back in the nick of time! -Gong?

-[groaning] -I'm sorry. I know. I know. [chuckles]

-Hey, Ash! -Yeah!

Go on ahead, Dragonair. I promise we'll be right behind ya!

[coos]

[cheers]

[Goh] Dewgong, follow that Dragonair!

[all chuckling]

Operation Pseudo-Shipwrecked-to-Drag-in-a-Dragonite

was a complete success!

-You think we'll get away with it? -Naturally!

Why, for an actress like myself, this is nothing but a cakewalk!

Wobbuffett!

-[Dragonair coos] -[both] Huh?

[shrieks]

Bo?

[grunts]

-Sit down, you're rocking the boat! -[Jessie] Is that Dragonite's sidekick?

Grab it, too! I don't wanna break up Pokémon pallies!

All right, what are you guys doing here?!

Prepare for trouble, we're here to confuse and astound!

And make it double, either lost or found!

[all exclaim]

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all people within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love!

To extend our reach to the stars above!

-Jessie! -And James!

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

Surrender now or prepare for one fleet-footed fight!

-Meowth! That's right! -Wobbuffett!

Team Rocket! Let Dragonite go now!

Impossible! We'd never throw back a catch!

And now, with Pikachu as well, our ship has come in!

Yeah! We'll wrap up all three of them,

along with Dragonite, Dragonair, and Pikachu,

in a package specially boxed for the boss!

-[both] All right, come on down! -[singing]

[caws]

[both] Our secret Rocket Prize Master!

[whirs, beeps]

[Meowth] And another oy vey.

One seems rather cheap. Whatever.

Go!

Wailord.

[James] It's the Float Whale Pokémon, Wailord!

[Meowth] Putting the squeeze on Poké ba*ls for years!

This is a one-move Pokémon, and that move is Splash.

So what? I'm sure that big lug can rustle up a Splash

that'll send the Twerp off like a flash!

Works for me! Now, Wailord, use Splash!

Wailord.

Here it comes.

[all screaming]

-I've got water in my ears. -[Meowth] What did you say?

Now's your chance! Do it!

-Pikachu, use Iron Tail! -Pikachu!

-[grunts] -[Dragonite grunts]

[Dragonite babbles]

-Pikachu! [giggles] -You rocked!

-If we don't stop it, it's so long. -Not today!

Do it my way! Wailord, aim your Splash at Dragonite!

[Team Rocket gasping]

[all screaming]

[grunts] Wailord!

[all screaming]

Pika!

-Ash, no! -[coos]

Huh?

-[gasps] -[cooing]

Dragonair!

-[gasps] -[coos]

[screams]

[grunts]

[Ash and Pikachu gasp]

-[both gasp] -That's awesome!

-You evolved! -[grunts]

[Meowth] A two-for-one Dragonite catch 'em sale!

-[James] A miraculous moment! -Save the emotions for your bottle caps!

We've got to follow through!

[growling]

-Say, talk about angry eyes. -Yeah.

[clears throat] Team Rocket membership's open, you know.

-[roars] -[Jessie] Or not.

[Team Rocket] We're blasting off again!

Bo!

[Goh] A sudden evolution.

-Who knew? -Know what else?

-I just figured it out. -Figured what?

I know why Dragonite have arms.

[giggles] It's so they can rescue people!

[gasps]

Maybe you're right. Hope so!

-Yeah, me, too! -Me, too!

[both chuckle]

Shall we go home?

Whoa!

-[grunting] -Stop! Not so tight! Huh?

Wait, are you saying...?

[grunts]

-Dragonite wants you to catch it. -Scorbun?

That's awesome! Wow, I'd love to!

Hey, we'll be great friends!

[grunts]

-I just caught a Dragonite! -Pika, Pika!

-Wailord! -[laughs]

[all cheering, laughing]

[Cerise] Truly impressive!

I mean, I wasn't even sure Dragonite Island was real!

Excellent!

[Goh chuckles]

These findings are sure to create an uproar!

Absolutely.

But still, let's just keep this to ourselves.

But why do that? It's a huge discovery.

I've got a hunch about this.

Maybe it's best if we help preserve the mystery of Dragonite Island.

-Bo. -Huh?

-Not so tight! -[Ash laughing]

[narrator] Our heroes discovered Dragonite Island,

which used to be just a rumor!

They made a new friend there, as well.

So, as Ash and Goh aim for the stars,

let's go, too, as the journey continues!
