23x26 - Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown!

[bunniefuu]

[theme music playing]

[tense music]

Aww. I'm so bored!

Haven't we gotten any orders from the Boss lately?

Not a one since forever...

Wobbuffet!

Then perhaps we should be productive and train.

[chuckles] That's using your brain.

Come on down. Yeah!

Keep in mind...

We're not outside now.

[doorbell dings]

[all] Hm?

Who could that be?

[suspenseful music]

Coming through the door?

[whimpers]

That was some entrance.

We know what to do next, don't we?

In we go!

[Jessi, James] Our secret Rocket Prize Master!

[Meowth] That's right!

From headquarters to us, with love!

Thrill us with some Pokémon royalty!

[Jessie] Magikarp, the Fish Pokémon.

[James] And the Royal Pokémon, Slowking!

You know, one king out of two isn't bad.

Wobbuffet!

Now, their moves are...

Gadzooks!

Oh, what's wrong?

What does the paper say?

Well...

It says we get a double feature, and Magikarp and Slowking are the stars!

[Ash, Goh] "Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown!"

It's magic!

You should be grateful that I'm letting you challenge me!

Do it, now Shinegoldie!

The tenth annual Magikarp high jump competition is about to begin!

So, if you dare, enter and challenge Kasukarp,

the nine-time champion of the Magikarp high jump!

Magic.

Goh, you're really gonna compete in that?

Yeah, of course.

And this one's gonna win the whole thing!

'Kay, Magikarp, let's go!

Karp...

Is that the same Magikarp as before?

It's gotten a lot bigger.

Don't you worry!

-As usual, I've got a plan! -Huh?

Greetings, chumps!

[Kasukarp] Look at those abs!

What definition!

-Huh? -He's not only

the Magikarp high jump competition champion.

He's also a popular bodybuilding Trainer!

You can do it.

Work it! And give your abs even more definition!

Now, Shinegoldie.

Show them how ripped you are!

Taut and tight with all of your might!

[yelling]

That Kasukarp's amazing!

You see this?

Don't you wanna be ripped like Shinegoldie?

-Don't you wanna beat Shinegoldie? -Karp!

Karp!

Now you're really fired up!

We'll do some bodybuilding along with you guys!

-Right, Pikachu? -Pikachu!

Raboot.

[Goh] And from that day on,

we began our Magikarp high jump competition special training!

Full speed ahead!

[lively music]

[Goh] Hard work and perspiration...

Along with countless tears of frustration!

Battling the real enemy, lack of discipline!

And our combined efforts to overcome that weakness

produced undeniable results!

Pika...

We've done all we can do. Right, Magikarp?

Victory is ours!

Karp!

Raboot.

[announcer] Now, get ready for the Magikarp high jump competition finals!

So far, Goh and his Magikarp have demonstrated a series of very nice jumps!

Magikarp's chiseled body reveals lots of hard work!

Goh's opponent is the runner-up from last year's competition, Magikarpenter!

So, which one will emerge victorious?

Go for it! Win it all, Magikarp!

-Pika! -Raboot.

And now...

Ready... Jump!

-Magikarp, Splash now! -Use Splash, now!

[announcer] There they go!

Look how high!

Awesome!

Pika!

[both groaning]

[tense music]

[announcer] . meters! Goh wins the match with a new record!

-Well, all right! -[groans]

The finals are coming up soon!

Uh-huh!

But look who I might be up against...

[announcer] In the second and final match of the semis,

nine-time champions, the team of Kasukarp and Shinegoldie!

Displaying the dignity and nobility of monarchs!

-Magic! -Magikarp!

And now... Ready? Jump!

-Shinegoldie, use Splash! -Magikarp, use Splash!

That is just amazing!

What a display of overwhelming power!

The monarchs, Kasukarp and Shinegoldie, win and move on to the finals!

Karp!

-Picture-perfect. -Karp, karp.

[kid giggling]

Goh, win this thing!

Right.

With this one, it shouldn't be a problem!

[groaning] Karp, karp, karp!

[announcer] We finally come to the Magikarp high jump finals!

With Goh challenging the reigning monarch, Kasukarp!

[laughs]

Do you really think you can beat Shinegoldie?

I wouldn't be here if I didn't!

Fair enough. Then prepare for my power...

The results of a monarch's overwhelming efforts!

[Kasukarp] Up until this point,

I've been limiting Shinegoldie's power to make a more exciting show.

But now, for my tenth win,

I will go from hero to legend!

From now on, it's no more Mister Nice Guy!

Kar, karp!

Wow! Kasukarp hasn't even been using Shinegoldie's full power!

One can only guess what kinds of jumps are in store!

Have I scared you yet?

Nah. I'm fired up!

Oh.

Champions are a cut above!

-Right, Magikarp? -Karp, karp, karp...

[Goh] Forget a weak opponent.

Now, it's time for you to earn your wings!

[grunting]

[announcer] What's this?

Goh's Magikarp was wearing those things?

What? What is that?

[Goh] Magikarp's been wearing those all this time to weigh it down.

What a shocking revelation!

When did he put those on?

-Pika? -Raboot.

If you'll please stand by, we're now clearing the field and...

-[groans] -It just strained

that Machamp's lower back!

That's what Goh's Magikarp has been carrying around all this time!

-Now what kind of jumping will we see? -[Machamp groaning]

The competition finals are just getting started!

But remember, only one Magikarp can win!

Get ready... Set...

And jump!

Shinegoldie? Splash!

[groans]

[snickers]

Huh?

Look! Goh's Magikarp hasn't even jumped!

Is there a problem?

I guess you got smart and are forfeiting the match, huh?

-Not a chance. -Excuse me?

My Magikarp is still gathering up its power

so it can fly way up into the stratosphere!

Magikarp!

Magikarp...use Splash!

[tense music]

Karp!

[announcer] Goh's Magikarp's taking off like a rocket!

[grunting, gasps]

-[grunts] -[groans]

[Kasukarp] How could that happen to my Shinegoldie?

Full blast!

[light music]

[announcer] This is beyond amazing!

What will the new record be?

[Kasukarp sobs]

[Kasukarp] How is it possible that I could ever lose?

I don't see it coming down...

Pika.

What?

[Goh] Hello?

Uh, excuse me.

Hm?

Our judges have informed us of their ruling in this matter.

Ruling?

Now, returning to the field is necessary for successful completion,

which means that Goh's Magikarp is now disqualified.

So, it has been decided that the winners are Shinegoldie and Kasukarp.

[gasps] That means...

-It's magic! -[Shinegoldie howling]

Yes!

♪Totally pathetic unreliable ♪

Magikarp...

[Ash] All of that hard work and training!

And now that it's nothing but a memory, I won't forget!

Magikarp, take good care, and thank you for the memories!

Hey! Who do you think you are, the narrator?

-It's magic! Yup! -[gasps]

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

-Pika? -Karp, karp.

Pika, pika!

[Goh, Ash] "Slowking's Crowning!"

[light music]

[panting]

-Whoa! -Pika!

Amazing!

Exactly like it said!

Slowpoke... Slowpoke... Slowpoke!

[Slowpokes groan]

[man] Hold it, hold up, everyone!

-♪ Slowpoke ♪ -[rotom] Slowpoke. The Dopey Pokémon.

A Water and Psychic type.

Slowpoke's tail often falls off, but it doesn't hurt,

and a new one grows quickly,

so the Slowpoke doesn't seem to mind.

-Their tails fall off? -♪ Slowpoke! ♪

But I guess they don't mind.

-[Ash] Yummy! -Hm?

Why are you eating that now?

Why? I'm hungry.

After everything, we finally arrive on Slowpoke Island.

You could at least appreciate it!

Sure!

[sighs] Okay, whatever.

'Kay...to catch a Slowpoke!

But which Slowpoke should I catch?

Huh?

Hm?

They're noodles.

I want 'em!

Pure Ash.

[chimes]

[rotom] Slowking. The Royal Pokémon.

A Water and Psychic type.

If a Shellder bites a Slowpoke's tail, Slowpoke evolves into Slowbro.

But if a Shellder bites a Slowpoke's head,

the Slowpoke evolves into Slowking, with the intelligence of a genius.

Of a genius? Wow!

Lowki...

Then, you're first! Let's go!

Uh, uh...

Hey, that move is Psychic!

Pika!

Lowkiki?

Huh?

You want this, huh? It's yours!

Slowking...

-[both gasp] -Pika?

King, slowking...

[magical music]

[moans]

[munching]

Slowking...

I know! Aren't they great?

Lowki, slowking...

[light music]

[both] It came off!

Uh...

Uh...

-[gasping] -[shrieks]

-[gasps] -Pika?

Ash, are you all right?

I've never felt better!

Feeling chipper as you please!

-Huh? -Pika?

-Indubitably! -Well, if you ask me, you're acting weird.

-Pika. -Perish the thought.

I'm as normal as the day is long!

Normal's how I live. My name?

Why, it's Ashking!

I have become a Slowpoke Master!

I do it all for the sake of Slowpoke!

More like the sake of weirdness...

That must be where this is all coming from!

Slowly... [gasps]

-Uh... -Cease and desist, young Goh.

That is strictly forbidden.

What's that supposed to mean?

Just get that thing off your head!

Out of the question.

I must be who I am.

That is to say, the critical success factor for the Slowpoke.

I have a vital message from all Slow-kind!

I have no idea what you're talking about!

Right. Of course, you wouldn't be able to see...

the objective for which I strive!

Uh... We have to get Ash back to normal!

Raboot! Quick.

Aim a Double Kick at Ash's head!

Raboot!

-[sighs] -[grunts]

Hey, can you help us out?

-Pikachu! -Thunderbolt!

Pikachu!

-[shrieks] -Halt, young Pikachu!

Pi... Pika?

[all moaning]

[all groaning]

[rotom] It takes a little time for them to feel pain.

[all sigh]

You and the Slowpoke are all family to me!

There is no reason to fight each other. So, be at rest.

[all muttering]

Ash, please...

You and I walk the same path together, do we not?

Our synergistic power can create a brilliant future for the Slowpoke!

You're wrong! It can't!

Welcome to my Slow Kingdom!

I'm having nothing to do with this!

-Oh? -Shellder!

Wait. What is that for?

Behold. From this day forward, a Slowpoke you will be!

Slow...

[whimpers] No!

Aren't you trying to be a Pokémon Master?

I have become a Slowpoke Master! I am Ashking!

[gasps]

Hm!

Ra!

-Double Kick! -Raboot!

Huh?

Huh? [blabbers]

Uh, wait, what was I doing?

All right! You're back to...

-Goh? Your head! -Pika?

You may call us Gohking.

We retain all Slowpoke!

Hey, what's wrong with you?

Raboot!

Uh... Wait, what was I doing?

Pi?

Pikachu!

Pika... chu!

Pi? Pika?

Hey, buddy!

No, Raboot!

Raboot!

-Ra! -Pika?

-[grunting] -Pika?

Ra...

[grunting]

-You will comply! -Chu, pika!

[groans] I shall catch...

-Boot! -[grunts]

Pikachu!

Critical success factor!

Complete!

-[all moaning] -[Ash] Feeling chipper as you please!

-[moaning] -Pika...

Raboot!

Thank you all!

So much!

-Pika! -Boot!

-[Ash] Critical! -[Goh] Success!

-Boot! -[Goh] Factor!

-[Ash] Complete! -Pika...

-Boot! -Critical...

-Success! -Pi...

-Boot! -[Ash] Factor!

[indistinct shouting]

[Magikarp screaming]

[grunts]

-[groaning] -Pika!

Hmm. [gasping]

What was that all about?

-Hey, look at that! -Huh?

[Goh] It's Slowking!

-Isn't that... -Magikarp?

Pika.

[all blabbering]

[narrator] Although it appeared Magikarp was lost in space,

it made it back home safely,

so they all lived happily ever after...

right?

Aww, I'm still bored!

Any orders from the Boss?

Not a one since forever,

-and that's a very long time. -Wobbuffet!

Then perhaps we should be productive and train.

Still thinking! We know the drill. Come on!

The doors are still closed, you know.

-[doorbell dings] -Hm?

More company?

Coming!

It's magic!

[Kasukarp] Look at these abs!
