Pika, pika!

Electabuzz, Thunder Wave!

[grunts, growls]

You can do it! Get up!

-Awesome, Riolu! Yeah! -Okay!

-It's time to wrap it up! Thunderbolt! -Riolu, Vacuum Wave!

Olu!

-[yells] -[groans]

What?

Electabuzz is unable to battle! Riolu wins!

Which means that the victory goes to Ash!

-All right! -Pika, pika!

-Oh, no! -Riolu!

Hey, good job beating Electabuzz.

Pikachu!

As a result of today's battle, there has been a change in the rankings!

[rotom] The Pokémon World Coronation Series

Pikachu.

Hey, what's up, buddy?

Pika, pika, Pikachu!

You wanna be part of the next battle?

Pika, pika!

You sure are raring to go!

Pika!

The thing is, Riolu's really on a roll right now.

-You'll show them next time, too! -Rio!

Once we're home, we'll train some more!

-[Ash] Who do you wanna train with? -Olu, olu!

[Ash] Huh? Dragonite? That's a tough one!

Riolu!

[theme music]

-[Ash] Betrayed… -[Goh] Bothered, and beleagured!

[narrator] Ash is excited about battling.

With his next battle in mind,

it's more special training with Riolu!

Farfetch'd! Night Slash!

-Farfetch'd! -[groans]

Quick! Fight back with Force Palm!

-Olu! -Far!

[Ash] Yes! That's enough!

-Pika! -Rio, rio!

-You wanna keep training? -Olu!

Then how about you have Riolu battle against my Farfetch'd?

Good deal! Nice work!

Farfetch'd!

Huh? Pika.

And Double Team now!

Far!

Use Vacuum Wave on every Farfetch'd!

Olu! Olu!

[both grunting]

-Not bad, Riolu! -Thanks! Now let's wrap it up!

-Riolu! -Pika, pika!

-You still wanna keep going? -Riolu!

[yells] Pika!

Pika.

-Sbee, sbee, sbee! -[grunting]

Beedrill! Aerial Ace!

Bee…

-Bee… sbee! -[groans]

[panting]

-You must be tired by now. -Riolu.

[Riolu panting] Riolu! Olu! Olu! Olu!

That's enough training for one day.

Sorry for the wait…

Whoa, buddy. Guess you fell asleep.

Lazy day, huh, buddy?

Riolu's been working really hard.

[Ash] If you keep goofing off, I can't use you in official battles.

-Pi! -[screams]

What was that for?

-[Mimey] Mime, Mime! -Huh?

Always at it, aren't you?

[Ash] Mom?

Pika!

Some things never change.

One of my good friend's parents lives quite close to the lab.

They wanted to visit, so I came, too.

It's been a while, and I wanted to say hi!

-[Ash] Wow! -[Goh giggles]

My mom's home cooking! It's been so long!

[cheering]

Now, make sure you eat your fill, everyone!

Thank you!

This is perfect timing, since my mom and Parker are out right now.

I'm sorry to add so many to your dinner plans.

[Delia] Think nothing of it.

You've been taking care of Ash all this time.

We owe him a lot! If you don't have any plans, feel free to stay here tonight.

Is that really okay?

Sure. We have a cozy guest room all prepared.

[Delia] I think I'll just take you up on that.

Down the hatch!

Where are your manners?

Oh, man! I'm totally stuffed!

It was delicious!

What a wonderful treat!

-Pika. -[Ash] You done eating, too?

-Riolu! Olu, olu! -Huh?

-You still want to train some more? -Rio!

[chuckles]

You wanting to win so bad reminds me of me, you know?

[Ash] Okay, let's work off that energy!

Olu!

Ash is totally fired up over the Pokémon World Coronation Series.

A little too fired up.

Well, that's very much like my Ash.

Right, Pikachu?

-[panting] -Pika.

Don't tell me Pikachu's feeling a little jealous.

[gasps]

Yamper was feeling the exact same way before, weren't you?

Yamp, yamp, yamp.

-Yamp. -Oh, Pikachu.

[somber music]

[Soddle gasps]

-Aww. -[Delia] Pikachu?

You're really something very special to Ash, you know?

The two of you have been together from the moment he set out on his journey.

Pika.

That reminds me. How did Ash and Pikachu first meet each other, anyway?

It was his tenth birthday,

the first day he could have a Pokémon.

But even so, he overslept.

[Delia] And the only Pokémon left was Pikachu.

At first, they didn't get along too well.

Well, what do you know.

Everyone has rough patches.

True…

You must be very tired. It's been quite a day!

Why don't you just let us handle the cleanup, and you get some rest?

[Cerise] Would you please show Ms. Ketchum to the guest room?

Mime!

If you'll excuse me, I'll turn in.

Pika!

Oh, my. Are you tired, too?

Pikachu.

Now, time for sleep.

Mimey? Good work today!

Oh, and thank you for always looking after everyone!

Mime, mime.

It's late, Pikachu.

You should be going back to your room with Ash.

Pika.

Hm?

[dramatic music]

-Pikachu? -Mime?

[gasps softly]

-Pikachu. -Pikachu…

[Delia] Ash will be lonely without you.

Pikachu.

-[chuckles] -You know what?

When Ash was a little boy,

we would put our heads on my pillow in just the same way.

Pika? Pi?

[Delia] Thank you for everything!

Our pleasure. Please come visit again!

[Delia] Goh, I'll see you later.

-Yes, ma'am! -And Ash,

be sure to mind the Professor.

-Yeah, I know, Mom! -Pika!

-Pika! -Oh, Pikachu!

[Pikachu] Pika!

-Riolu! Rio! -Mime!

Olu!

Goh? I have some data that I'd like you to analyze.

Okay!

I'll train with you afterward.

Pika, pi…

I kind of figured you'd come here.

Pika?

I'm really sorry I made you feel so lonely.

[Ash] See, Chloe really chewed me out.

She said I didn't understand how you felt.

I know I goofed up. I'm sorry.

Pika, pi…

Pika… Pikachu!

[groans, chuckles]

-Pikachu! -[screams]

What was that for?

Pikachu!

[sniggers] Mime!

[all sigh]

Pikachu!

You should know better than to worry us like that!

-Pika. -Now…

-Why don't we all have some dinner? -Pika?

You must be half-starving!

Goh, thank you for coming along with Ash.

You're welcome to stay the night.

Thank you! And you can be sure I'll take care of Ash in the future!

-You're so reliable! -It looks delish…

-[munching] -[gasps]

Will you behave? That means you, too, Pikachu!

We're gonna have to thank Mimey again tomorrow when we get up, huh?

Pika.

Bet you're wiped out. So, let's get some sleep.

Pikachu.

Huh? Hm.

when a certain Pokémon wakes up,

a certain Trainer will be right there, too, as the journey continues.
