25x23 - Chasing to the Finish!

[bunniefuu]

[gentle music]

[trilling]

[Quillon] Urshifu, use Thunder Punch!

[grunts]

[grunting]

Close Combat!

[grunting]

That should wrap it up.

[Rotom Phone beeping]

[Goh] Great!

My trial mission's arrived!

What is it this time?

It's a choice between these two.

The first choice is follow three sets of virtuous footprints.

The other is to catch Regieleki and Regidrago.

They both sound pretty awesome.

Also, it says this will be my final mission.

Yeah?

[sighs]

[Ash] "Chasing…"

[Goh] "To The Finish."

[narrator] The Project Mew trial missions have finally reached

their last installment.

The competitor who clears it receives three tokens,

and the three competitors with the most tokens

join Project Mew!

Presently, Gary has tokens and Lyla is second with nine.

It's a four-way tie for third place, which includes Horace and Sterling.

Goh is tied for seventh with seven tokens.

So even if I pass this mission, it depends on how well the others will do.

Just remember, do the very best you can do.

You're right.

So, which one will you take?

It's gotta be this!

-Catching Regieleki and Regidrago. -Hm.

[Ash] I know about Regice and Regirock.

Pokémon for which almost no data exists.

Since it's called Regieleki, isn't it an Electric type?

And Regidrago sounds like a Dragon type to me.

It seems they're connected to a place in the Galar region's Crown Tundra

called the Split Decision Ruins.

Split Decision Ruins.

Wow, doesn't it make your heart race?

Hey, let's go there right now!

No, Ash.

This time, I'm going by myself.

Huh? What, how come?

I'm working toward my own goal.

I think maybe you should be working toward your own goal, too.

Goh…

You've got it!

I'll train my Pokémon for the Masters Eight Tournament!

But be sure to clear that mission, Goh!

Right!

[light music]

[wind gusting]

The future's in the palm of my hand.

Here goes!

The final trial mission for Project Mew!

[light music]

Just beyond this pass…

[gasps]

The Split Decision Ruins!

Huh? [panting]

Gary!

You're late, Goh…

So you waited for me?

Maybe.

Don't you think these ruins look a little strange?

Yeah. They're split in half by colors.

-Hm. -[grunts]

Goh? There's ancient writing here.

Oh…

[Gary] My guess is that the door was sealed.

I wonder what it all means.

[Quillon] Giant of rock, giant of ice, giant of steel.

When gather the three giants, the door of destiny shall be opened.

Quillon!

Do you know what that means?

When the three giants gather, this door will open up.

Who are the three giants?

Really? It's obvious that rock, ice, and steel translate into Regirock,

Regice, and Registeel.

That makes sense.

Those three could be some of the most important

Legendary Pokémon in history.

You're exactly right.

Come out!

[all grunt]

-Ooh. -So you've already caught them all.

In addition to these three, there appear to be two more

within these ruins.

-[mumbles] -Huh?

[beeping]

[all gasp]

[beeps]

[Goh] Ooh.

Go catch them.

However, you are only allowed to enter these ruins with two Pokémon.

-Right. -Right.

[Gary] So have you learned a little bit about cooperation?

[Goh] Yeah.

But I never expected that you and Horace would face off in the end.

-Danika's pretty stubborn, huh? -Oh…

[Goh] Wait. You were watching my mission back then?

Well…

I wanna find out who's strong enough to team up with, after all.

Uh…

Wait. What's that all about?

So why do you want to meet Mew so badly?

Professor Amaranth said it himself.

What exactly are Pokémon?

Where did they really come from?

There's one Pokémon who can answer those questions?

Mew has the DNA of all Pokémon and is also called

the ancestor of Pokémon.

Besides, I met Mew once when I was little.

Yeah?

I want to learn a lot more about Pokémon than I know now.

And that's the reason, I want to meet Mew again!

Same for me.

If I remember correctly, you want to research everything

-there is about Pokémon. -Yeah.

And for that reason, meeting Mew is crucial.

I think if I meet Mew, I'll come closer to solving

the mysteries of Pokémon, too.

So you must really want to meet Mew, huh?

-There's no doubt about it. -[both gasp]

There are statues on the right and left.

And round dot patterns on the floor.

Something's suspicious about this.

Yeah.

There must be a trick to all this.

Ooh.

Ooh. Wait a minute.

Could it be the pattern at the entrance is a hint?

[Gary] If so…

If I step on the same dots as the pattern…

Bingo.

Yes!

Right behind you!

[grunts]

-Ha. -Hm?

So I'm guessing you're able to choose only one of the two floor switches.

Sorry, but I'm going first! [grunts]

-Huh? -[laughs]

Hmm.

[groans]

[both grunt]

[both pant]

This isn't getting us anywhere. What's the plan?

Do you wanna have a battle to see which one of us goes first?

I'm fine with that.

But before that, there's something I wanna try.

-Hm? -You and me together.

It's not about who catches them both, it's how we get it done.

Not one or the other, but both of us?

At the same time?

I get it! Cooperating, not competing!

If we do it right and step on them at the same time…

Let's try it!

-And… go! -And… go!

-We did it! -We did it!

-Just as planned! -Hm.

[grunts]

Next one's the last!

But we don't know what'll happen once we step on it!

-Keep your guard up! -Right back at you!

[Lyla] Frosmoth, use Icicle Spear!

[Sterling] Darmanitan, Icicle Crash!

-Moth… -Darma…

-Frosmoth. -Darmani… manitan.

[Goh] Lyla and Sterling?

You showed us a good time when we met at Sea Mauville.

We expected it of Goh, but we never thought number one ranked

Gary would fall for it, too.

So you're trying to steal our idea and use it for yourselves, huh?

What a dirty trick!

We're challengers, isn't that right?

We're gonna do whatever it takes to win.

I know that.

Which is why I'm prepared for whatever dirty tricks

I happen to come across.

Same for me!

Hatterene, use Psycho Cut!

Cinderace, use Blaze Kick!

-Hatt… -Cinde…

[both grunt]

I say we combine forces!

I'm with you! Wise words!

You wanna decide this with a Tag Battle?

You bet!

If we consider what comes after this, none of us wants

our Pokémon worn out now.

Let's use one Pokémon per person. And we can't switch them out, okay?

I'm for it!

I don't see any reason to refuse.

Runerigus and Sandaconda, huh?

We thought Goh would bring out Cinderace.

[Sterling] But we didn't plan on Gary using Blastoise.

I figured you might send out a Ground or a Rock type

with an advantage against Fire types, so I planned for that

-and chose a Water type. -Huh?

You're not the top token getter for nothing.

But since we can't afford to lose here, better look out!

-Use Sand Tomb on Cinderace! -Use Sand Tomb on Cinderace!

[grunts]

-[screams] -Cinderace!

Stop it using Hydro Pump!

Blastoise…

-Thanks, Gary. -Save your thanks for later.

Here they come again!

-Use Bulldoze! -Use Bulldoze!

[both grunt]

Goh, on top of Blastoise!

Cinderace, get up on Blastoise's back!

-Blas… -Cin…

Water Pulse toward the ground!

[grunts]

-Both attacks. -They dodged them!

Goh, now!

Use Blaze Kick!

[yells] Cinde… race.

-[blasts] -[both grunt]

Sanda…

-[both] Huh? -Let's keep going!

-Don't try it. -Lyla?

A promise is a promise.

If you insist on breaking it, you'll be dealing with me!

I like your integrity. But there's more to it than that.

[soft chuckle]

You can see right through me.

If Goh and I fail to catch Regieleki and Regidrago,

-then you and Sterling will be up next. -Of course.

After battling with us, the two of them will probably be weakened.

And that's what we'll use to our advantage if we have to battle them.

That's Lyla for you! What a sharp eye!

[giggles] Wait here, but don't get your hopes up.

[both] Mm.

[both gasp]

-[both] Huh. -[rumbling]

[both grunt]

[beeping]

[blasts]

[both groan]

[both grunt]

Voltage?

I'm facing Regieleki?

If you're right, this one is Regidrago!

Regi…

Regieleki is yours!

-I hear you! Flygon, let's go! -Hatterene!

Flygon.

-[groans] -Tterene.

Stay focused!

Right back at you!

[electricity crackles]

It's fast! Now try to hit it with Mud Shot!

Fly…

Wait. What is that move?

Block it with Dazzling Gleam!

[shrieks]

[electricity crackles]

Hatterene…

Thunder Cage?

Ah… Goh!

Huh? Use Dragon Breath!

[grunts]

-Hatterene… -[electricity cracks]

-Hatte… -Hatterene!

Fly… gon.

-[grunts] -Extreme Speed?

Here it comes! Hammer Arm!

Hatter…

[both grunt]

-No, Flygon! -Hatterene!

[both groan]

Flygon, thank you for all of the help.

Hatterene, take a nice long rest.

I think they're working together.

You bet. Just how I want it!

Let's go!

Now, Cinderace, go!

Blastoise, you, too!

-Cinde… -Blast…

-Pyro Ball on Regieleki! -Cinder…

Use Skull Bash on Regidrago!

-[grunts] -Cinderace!

[grunts]

[yelps]

Cinde…

They're trying to finish us both off with a single shot!

Gary, make use of that Twister!

Hey, Goh!

It's just like when you dodged our Bulldoze attack!

Thanks for the advice!

Blastoise, Rapid Spin!

Cinderace, jump on Blastoise's back!

-Blas… -Cinder…

Use the Twister to lift yourselves up now!

…toise.

[all] Yes!

Now's your chance to use Blaze Kick on Regieleki!

Blastoise, attack using Rapid Spin!

-Cin… Cinder… -Blas…

[both] Mm.

-Go Poké Ball! -Poké Ball, go!

[Gary's Rotom Phone] Regidrago has been registered

to your Pokédex.

[Goh's Rotom Phone] Regieleki has been registered

to your Pokédex.

-Aw… -Mm?

-Ooh. -[both chuckle]

[Sterling] Aw. Snatched it away from us, did you?

After all that, we didn't even get a chance, huh?

Well, thanks for the good advice. It saved us.

-[Sterling] Huh. -[Lyla] Huh.

And Goh, I couldn't have caught either one without all of your help.

This was a team play effort.

Wow, Gary…

You used to get caught up in your emotions,

and you made things tough by being half-trained.

But even though we're rivals, you worked shoulder-to-shoulder with me

to achieve our common goal.

There's no need to get so prideful when that happens.

Chaotic actions are bad news.

That's something I learned from Quillon after many missions.

Huh?

[Quillon] You failed.

You'd be toast if I hadn't saved you.

Both of you. All your Pokémon, too.

He said that to you, too?

Uh-huh.

I was on the verge of getting dropped from the program.

But his words led me to grow as a Trainer.

Really? And now, you helped me…

No way.

I did it all for my benefit.

Mm.

[gasps]

[Goh] Danika?

So the other mission's already over?

Guess so.

[all grunt]

So. You managed to catch them both?

That's Regidrago and Regieleki.

All five Legendary Pokémon.

A magnificent sight.

Ooh.

[all trilling]

[all] Huh?

-Huh. -Ooh.

[Goh] A pillar of light?

[both gasp]

It's Regigigas!

And look…

It Dynamaxed!

[growls]

[Gary] Did Regidrago and the others call out to it?

-[all] Wow. -Huh.

[suspenseful music]

[gentle music]

[Goh] What was that?

[all Rotom Phones] You have a call from Professor Amaranth.

You have a call from Professor Amaranth.

As of now, all of the trial missions have concluded.

So, as the leader of Project Mew,

I send my heartfelt thanks to the challengers.

I trust you will take the experiences you've had

and continue your Pokémon investigative work.

And now, the results.

As you know, the top three will be admitted to the team.

In first place, with fifteen tokens, Gary.

In second place, with eleven tokens, Horace.

Horace!

And lastly, in third place…

[Ash's Rotom Phone] You have a call from Goh.

You have a call from Goh.

Hey! So, how did the mission go?

Ash, the thing is just…

I made it through!

No joke? Congratulations, Goh!

Thanks to you, Ash!

Thanks to all of your hard work!

Well, you helped me get there!

Talk later!

[giggles]

[sighs]

We're just at the starting line.

So now let's both work hard together!

Work together?

Got it!

[laughs]

[chuckles]

[narrator] And so, along with Gary and Horace,

Goh has finally achieved the title of Chaser!

Now, what awaits him as a Project Mew member?

Stay tuned, as the journey continues!
