24x12 - Beyond Chivalry... Aiming to be a Leek Master! (Aim to Be a Scallion Master! Charge with Chivalry!!)

[bunniefuu]

[playful music]

[warbles]

[narrator] Ash's goal is to battle one of the world's greatest Trainers, Leon.

Goh's goal is to catch one of every kind of Pokémon, including Mew.

This is the story of their adventure-filled journey

through the world of Pokémon.

[camera shutter clicks]

The Pokémon World Coronation Series is a tournament

to determine the top Pokémon Trainer.

Ash wants to battle Leon, the reigning Monarch,

and that's why our hero is taking part in the competition.

Trainers from all over the world enter,

and those within the same-ranked class battle against each other.

The results determine each Trainer's ranking among all who've entered.

A while back, Ash and Farfetch'd had a battle against a Gallade

and its Trainer, Rinto but Farfetch'd lost.

Our heroes then traveled to the Kalos region

to train with Wikstrom, a member of the Elite Four.

While there…

Here. Good thing it's still fine.

You care about it more than anything, isn't that right?

[Wikstrom] A knight fights for either a sovereign

or for the weak who do not possess the strength to fight for themselves.

It is when you fight to protect those you hold dear

that your strength increases many times.

[narrator] Farfetch'd and Ash forged a strong bond through Farfetch'd's leek.

Now, ranking in the Great Class,

Ash still has quite a long road ahead of him

before he faces Leon,

and the daunting challenges he and his Pokémon

must contend with will continue on this very day.

[adventure music]

-[Ash] "Beyond chivalry…" -[Goh] "Aiming to be a Leek Master!"

[both grunt]

Farfetch'd! Fetch'd! Fetch'd! Fetch'd!

Good work, Farfetch'd. Now keep up the attacks.

-All right, Scizor. Use X-Scissor. -Scizor!

-Now, Farfetch'd, Detect. -Farfetch'd.

Use Night Slash.

Farfetch'd! Farfetch'd!

Scizor!

[groans]

[panting] Farfetch'd.

-That did it. -[Pikachu cheers]

-Nice work. -Far.

Scizor, you were amazing.

Scizor. Sci…

-Grookey! -Huh?

Grookey!

Wow. Hey, Grookey, do you wanna start battling, too?

Grookey!

[Goh] Both you and Farfetch'd. Talk about being in sync.

[Ash laughs]

[Ash] What do you expect from a couple of proud knights

who are only a step or two from becoming Leek Masters?

[Pikachu] Pikachu!

That's how you get to be a Leek Master?

-Who cares? As long as we're having fun. -Pikachu.

I think we should go to the Pokémon Center.

Scizor and Farfetch'd are worn out from today's battle.

-[Ash] You're right. Farfetch'd, return. -[Goh] Scizor, return.

-Far. -Scizor.

[whirring]

Pika, pika.

-Pika? -Grookey?

Pikachu? What's up?

-Pika? -Grookey?

[both] Hmm?

What is it, Grookey? Something in there?

-Pika… -[leaves rustle]

[gasps] Grookey!

[groaning] Bellsprout…

Grookey…

Pika!

[grumbling] Bellsprout…

[Rotom phone] Bellsprout. The Flower Pokémon.

A Grass and Poison type.

Bellsprout loves high temperatures and humidity.

It can be lightning fast when it extends its vines

in order to grab something.

But that Bellsprout looks totally exhausted.

Grookey!

[gibbering]

[Bellsprout groans softly]

[jabbering]

[whirring]

Bellsprout! [chuckles]

Pika?

-Bellsprout loves it. -[Grookey gibbers]

Remember a while back?

Grookey!

Grookey!

[gibbers]

[whirring]

[chitters]

[all cheering]

[chuckles]

Bellsprout's fine. You're good at that, Grookey.

So, it seems Grookey's power even has an effect on Pokémon.

-Yeah. -[Grookey] Grookey.

-Hmm? -Hmm?

[Grookey gibbers]

[Goh] What is it, Grookey?

[Grookey and Bellsprout exclaim]

[Goh] What? You're friends already?

-[both gasp] -[Grookey chitters]

-[Grookey jabbers] -Bellsprout, Bellsprout, Bellsprout!

[gasps]

-You don't mean… -Grookey, groo!

[Goh] Hmm?

Sprout, sprout, bell!

-You can catch it. -Right. Just wait, Grookey.

-Grookey. -Poké Ball, go!

Sprout!

Pika.

[whirring, chimes]

Grookey. [giggles]

[Rotom phone] Bellsprout has been registered to your Pokédex.

I caught a Bellsprout.

-Grookey. -Grookey? Whoa!

Bellsprout, let's be friends.

-What do you say? -Grookey.

[quirky music]

[Chansey] Chansey.

Thanks for waiting.

Scizor and Farfetch'd are back to full health.

-[Ash] Thanks so much, Nurse Joy. -[Goh] Yeah, thanks.

[Pikachu] Pika.

Okay, Farfetch'd, come out.

-Far! -[Ash laughs]

It's great to see you up to speed. [chuckles]

-[rotom chimes] -[both gasp]

[Rotom phone] A battle challenge has been issued.

Aha.

-[Ash chuckles] -[rotom trills]

-Pi… -[Ash and Goh gasp]

-[exclaims] -Huh?

It's you…

-[stammers] -Pika…

-You gotta hang in there, Farfetch'd. -Farfetch'd…

Well, well. We've battled before, haven't we?

Uh-huh. Nice to see you, Rinto.

-Pikachu. -Gallade.

[scoffs]

[grunts] Far…

-Gallade. -[Goh] Oh?

You're entered into the World Coronation Series, right?

But I didn't get a message we could battle then.

[Rinto] That's because I had just entered and was still in the Normal Class.

Awesome. Now you're in the Great Class.

Yes. You too, it seems.

How has Farfetch'd been since then?

Really good.

A little while back,

we went to the Kalos region and we trained with Wikstrom.

Pika.

-Wow. You went to the Castle of Chivalry? -You know it?

We worked hard and received Knight Medals, too.

[Rinto] We went through some pretty tough training there as well.

-It sure brings back memories. -Gallade.

Hey. Let's battle.

Farfetch'd and I have sharpened our skills, so we won't be easy to beat.

Fetch'd, farfetch'd.

Sounds like a great idea.

I could see such great potential in both of you.

-Thanks. Get ready for more. -Pikachu.

[drone rotom] You have been approved

for an official Pokémon World Coronation Series Great Class battle.

Competing? It's Rinto versus Ash.

-Goh, thanks a lot. -Huh?

[Ash] If you hadn't suggested we go to the Pokémon Center,

this battle wouldn't be happening.

-Yeah, so win it. -Right.

Pikachu, you cheer us on and help us win this.

Hmm.

Pikachu.

All right. For today's battle, each of you is allowed to use one Pokémon.

Will both challengers please bring out your Pokémon?

Three, two, one, go!

-Gallade, let's do it. -Remember, Leek Masters.

[both grunting]

-Farfetch'd. -Gallade.

Battle begin!

I look forward to seeing what's changed since our last battle.

Gallade.

I'm right with you. Fury Cutter, let's go.

-Far! -Hey, Ash.

-Don't let your opponent set the pace. -Already on it.

Fetch'd! Fetch'd, fetch'd!

Gallade, block it now.

Gal…

Fetch'd! Farfetch'd!

Use Night Slash.

Ga… llade!

Use Detect.

[Farfetch'd] Far.

[Farfetch'd grunting]

-Psycho Cut. -Gallade.

[screaming] Fetch'd…

-[expl*si*n] -Far!

[exclaims]

Far…

Fetch'd.

Ash and Farfetch'd have gotten stronger, all right,

but Rinto seems to stay one step ahead of them.

[Goh] I never expected that quick of a retaliation from that stance.

-[grunts] -[Rinto] So you used Detect.

But since this is a battle of strength,

all I need is to strike that leek once, and Farfetch'd goes down with it.

You're not trained at all.

[Goh] If you say they're not trained,

then tell us what it is that you think they're lacking?

Hey, I'm no Gym Leader. If you want answers, find them yourself.

[Rinto] It's our turn.

Now, Gallade, Close Combat.

Use Night Slash. Meet it head on.

[both grunt]

-[screams] -[exclaims]

Pika!

[both grumble]

-Detect! -[both grunt]

Use Feint.

Fetch'd!

[suspenseful music]

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

[warbles]

-Pika? -Gallade.

Pika, pika.

[suspenseful music]

Farfetch'd.

[gasps] Not its leek.

Pika…

[Goh] So, it knows the move Feint.

That means using Detect only leads to a loss.

-All right, then, what have you got? -Now what? With no leek…

Huh?

[gasps]

Wait a second.

Pika?

Ash, what's up?

-[sighs] -[grunts]

[stutters]

Farfetch'd. You can still work with your leek.

Farfetch'd?

Remember our training with Wikstrom. Like Aegislash.

Hmm.

-Pika? -Ash, what are…

Interesting. Aegislash. I see.

Hey, Gallade. Let's watch their strategy.

Gallade.

You remember? The sword and shield.

Farfetch'd.

Aegislash, use King's Shield.

Aegis…

Aegislash, use Sacred Sword.

[Aegislash gibbers]

[playful music]

Far…

Farfetch'd!

That's it, Farfetch'd. Aim to be a Leek Master.

Pika, pika!

Can it… even battle like that?

[scoffs]

There's no way you can beat Gallade by pretending to be a knight.

Use Psycho Cut!

-Gallade. -Quick, Farfetch'd, block it.

Fetch'd.

-Far… -Now, use Night Slash.

-[grunts] -Let's use Night Slash, too.

[Gallade grunts]

Gallade.

Farfetch'd.

Look at that. Still relying on sheer strength.

[both grunting]

Look at that. It's battling with a leek cut in two.

Good going, Farfetch'd.

[both grunting]

-Far… -[Gallade grunts]

Fetch'd?

It can't move now.

-But neither can Gallade, can it? -Not even close.

Gallade is now in the perfect position to attack.

Huh?

I see Gallade's plan.

Psycho Cut.

[Gallade grunts]

-[Farfetch'd screams] -[Ash grunts]

[Farfetch'd groans]

-Pika! -Oh no, Ash!

Grookey.

Farfetch'd is still out of Gallade's league.

[Goh] It's hardly received any damage at all.

Wonder what Wikstrom would say if he could see you battling now?

-Farfetch'd. -[Ash grunts]

Farfetch'd, are you all right?

Far…

[dramatic music]

Farfetch'd.

[gasps]

Pika…

I admit I'm disappointed. I misjudged your potential.

You're still far too untrained to be any kind of opponent for my Gallade.

-[drone whirs] -[Ash] Huh?

[drone rotom] Will you continue the battle?

Pika…

[soft gasp]

Farfetch'd.

[humming]

[grunts]

We're in. We've got a lot of fight left.

Really? Aren't we being defiant?

I know Farfetch'd tries its best every single time.

This is not how Farfetch'd usually is. What we need is to keep getting stronger.

[grunts] Farfetch'd.

That's right, Farfetch'd. We need to train and get stronger.

And I know that we will.

'Cause I believe in you.

Far…

fetch'd.

Come on. You can do it.

Farfetch'd.

-Pika? -Farfetch'd

Farfetch'd has confirmed it will continue.

Rinto. Gallade. Here we come.

If you insist.

-Gallade, use Night Slash. -Gallade.

-Detect. -Far.

-Farfetch'd! -Gallade!

Use Fury Cutter.

[grunting, jibbering]

-Ga… llade. -Far!

[grumbles]

[gasps]

-Close Combat. -[grunts]

[both grunting]

Farfetch'd!

[Gallade grumbles]

-Yes. -On target.

Pikachu!

[panting] Farfetch'd.

[Gallade grunts]

-Perfect. Finish it with Close Combat. -[grumbles]

Gallade?

[Gallade gasps]

Now what?

-[exclaims] -Pika?

Is that…

[suspenseful music]

Sirfetch'd.

-It evolved! -Pikachu!

Let's see.

[Rotom phone] Sirfetch'd. The Wild Duck Pokémon.

A Fighting type and the evolved form of Galarian Farfetch'd.

It evolves after enduring an unusually tough battle.

Awesome. Sirfetch'd.

Sir, sirfetch'd.

Gallade.

[Rinto scoffs]

You channeled your emotions into evolving.

A true knight.

You worked yourself into peak condition to protect your sovereign.

That deserves respect.

All right, Gallade. Use Night Slash.

[grunting]

Use Night Slash, too.

-Sirfetch'd. -Gallade.

[grunting]

[Rinto] So you're struggling with the damage you took.

All right, then, Gallade.

-Let down your guard. -[gasps]

[both grunting]

[Gallade grumbling]

-Pika? -That's all on purpose?

-[Gallade groans] -Sir.

Correct. That's Gallade's Ability.

[gasps]

Of course. I get it. That's why Gallade let its guard down.

The Ability is called Justified.

By taking damage from a Dark-type move like Night Slash,

Gallade reveals a strong sense of justice and increases its attack power.

Pikachu…

[gasps] Here it comes!

Ga…

[both grunting]

[Ash] Sirfetch'd.

Let's get a lot stronger together. Leon's waiting for us.

Sirfetch'd.

[both screaming]

[both] Night Slash!

[both grunting]

[Gallade groans]

[drone whirs]

Gallade is unable to battle.

Sirfetch'd is the winner,

which means the victory goes to Ash Ketchum.

-Yeah, we won! -Pikachu!

[Goh] You did it, Ash!

[Grookey gibbers]

Sirfetch'd.

As a result of today's battle, there has been a change

in the World Coronation Series Trainer rankings.

[drone whirs]

[trilling]

All right. I'm at .

-Pikachu. -[Goh gasps]

[Rinto] Now I can see what's changed since our last battle.

We gave it everything we could give but we couldn't win.

Perhaps we need to train a bit more.

Thanks for the battle.

[gasps]

Tell you what. Let's both give it everything we've got.

[Rinto] Right.

Sirfetch'd.

[Goh] That was so intense.

-Watching Farfetch'd evolve. -[Ash laughs]

-[Ash] For me, too. -Pikachu.

You had the best response to Rinto

when you said how much you believed in Farfetch'd.

Those words protected Farfetch'd from then on.

And right after those words, Farfetch'd evolved.

It evolved to protect you.

-Huh? -I can only think

that this was the knight's true strength Wikstrom talked about.

Huh?

[Ash] Uh, sure.

Sirfetch'd.

-[both gasp] -Pika?

[ominous music]

-Sirfetch'd. -[chimes]

[Ash] Sirfetch'd, are you all right?

-[Pikachu] Pika, pika. -[Goh] What'd I tell you?

Sirfetch'd protected you again. That was chivalry all the way.

[Ash] Yeah? You really think so?

[Pikachu] Pika…

[narrator] The bond between Ash and Farfetch'd

brought about its evolution into Sirfetch'd.

The World Coronation Series is in full swing,

so stay tuned for Ash's next battle, as the journey continues.
