17x05 - A blustery Santalune gym battle!

[bunniefuu]

So nice!

No early Rhyhorn Race practice for me.

And no Fletchling waking me up.

Such a relaxing way to start the day.

Fennekin.

Fennekin, did you get enough?

Fennekin.I did, too!

Okay!

Kin.

Thank you for everything!Fenne.

Let's go!

Santalune City's really close!

Just a little bit further and I'll finally get to see him!Fenne...

[announcer] Our heroes have arrived in Santalune City,

and soon Ash will be challenging his first Gym

in the Kalos region.

Yeah!

Santalune Gym, you'd better look out!

I'm gonna get my first Kalos badge from you!

[Pikachu] Pika!

Come on, guys, can't you slow down a little?!

Hey, Clemont, hurry up!

One thing, and I think it's kind of important.

Do you have any idea where the Santalune Gym might be located?

No clue-- 'Course I don't!

Denne.

I figure stuff out best when I run!

Keep moving ahead and you can't go wrong!

That's the way we roll.

Pikachu.

Pika?

Thanks so much for the great pic!

The two of you seem to have the makings of a great team.

Hey, thanks.

Pikachu's my partner.

Pikachu!

FYI, if you're going to the Santalune Gym,

make a right at that corner.

Yeah?! Awesome!

Thanks a lot for the info.

I told you we can't go wrong.

Let's move, Pikachu!

Pika!

Ash, not so fast!Hey, wait up!

Th-Thank you for your assistance.

[Ash] A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!

[Ash] Wow, we made it!

Now, if I remember my facts correctly,

the Santalune Gym Leader specializes in Bug-type Pokémon.

I can't wait to go inside, it's gonna be fun!Denne, Dede.

Hello in there!

I wanna challenge you to a battle!

He!

Hel, Helioptile.

It's Helioptile!

Pika!

[Alexa] Welcome, Ash, Pikachu...

It's nice to see you both again!

Hey, Alexa, I didn't know you were here.

Uh-huh.

I finished up my reporting

and thought you'd be here soon, so I waited.

And are these your new friends?

Yup! I met them in Lumiose City.

Hi, Alexa!

My name's Bonnie.

This is Dedenne.Denne, Denne.

And this is my brother!

I'm Clemont.

It's nice to meet you.

That's quite amazing!

You already knew the Gym Leader.

She's not the Leader.

See, Alexa's actually a Pokémon journalist.

That's right.

The Gym Leader's my younger sister, Viola.

Viola?

[Viola] That's me!

Nice to see you again.

You mean you're Alexa's sister?!

Pika.

Oh, so I take it you've already met one another?

Right! At the fountain.

I took a picture of Pikachu and Ash.

Alexa said you wanted to challenge me while I was gone.

I still do-- How about it?

Sure! Please, come inside!

[Ash] Wow, you took all of these pictures, Viola?

Uh-huh, although, these are just

a few of the pictures I've taken.

She's got quite a talent for photographing Bug types!

She even helps me out with my reporting from time to time.

This is great work!

It really captures the love you have for your subjects.

Sure does!

You can see how much you care about Bug types!

Dede.I know!

Viola, you're a keeper!

I mean, please take care of my brother!Denne.

We're a little bit... confused.

Pika.

Bonnie, I told you to stop this a million times!!

You know you need somebody to take care of you!

I think Viola would make you a nice wife!

A nice wife?

No... this is so embarrassing!

Activating Aipom Arm!

Would you please just mind your own business?!

I hope you'll think about it, Viola?!

Such a unique little girl.

So, shall we, Ash?

How about that battle?

Great!

Pika!

He's gonna be so surprised after all this time!

I wonder how he'll react when he sees me?

I can't wait to find out.

[Referee] The Gym Battle between Ash, the challenger,

and Viola, the Santalune Gym Leader, will now begin!

Each side will have the use of two Pokémon,

and the battle will be over

when either Trainer's Pokémon are unable to continue!

Only the challenger may substitute Pokémon!

My lens is always focused on victory no matter what!

Surskit, go!

Surskit!

A Surskit, huh?

[woman] Surskit, The Pond Skater Pokémon.

Surskit can walk on water as if it was skating.

It attracts prey with the sweet aroma it produces.

My first Kalos Gym battle.

And I'm gonna start it off with Pikachu!

Pika!

Ash is using Pikachu!

That's because Pikachu's got a big advantage over Surskit,

who's a Bug and Water-type.

Now, battle begin!

Pikachu, let's start this with Quick Attack!

Pikachu!

Pik, Pik, Pik!

Quick, Surskit, use Protect!

Sur!Pika!

Pika!

Go around Surskit and use Iron Tail!

Pikachu!

Pika!

Surskit, dodge it!

Pika, Pika!

Surskit!

Pika?Surskit!

Focus, Pikachu!

Use Electro Ball and stop Surskit!

Pikachu!

Pika, Chu, Pi!

Surskit, use Ice Beam!

Surskit!

Dedenne!

My sister's very strong.

Defeating her is no easy task!

Tile!

This is where it begins.

Use Ice Beam on the field!

Surskit!

Pika!

Pi, Pi, Pi, Pi!

Pika!

Pika!

Pi...

[Bonnie] The b*ttlefield's frozen!

Dedenne!

Pikachu... Pi, Pi, Pika!

Pikachu, get up, quick!

Pika, Pika...

Our ice b*ttlefield's picture-perfect.

Surskit, let's go!

Surskit!

Pikachu!

Pi, Pi...Hang in there-- Use Iron Tail!

Pika!

Chu!

Surskit!Pika!

Pull it together, Surskit, and use Ice Beam!

Surskit!

Now, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Pi!

Pikachu!

Pika!

Pi...

Pikachu, no!

Yes! Now use your picture-perfect Signal Beam!

Skit!

Pikachu!

Pika, Pi...

Pika...

[Referee] Pikachu is unable to battle!

Surskit wins!

Pikachu!

You okay?

Pikachu...Pi...

Pika, Pikachu.

You were great out there.

Thanks, buddy.

You trained Pikachu quite well, but it still

has a long way to go before it can beat my Surskit.

I'll beat it now!

With this Pokémon!

Fletchling, let's go!

Chling!

Wow, Fletchling'll be great!

It can attack from above,

so the frozen ground won't do a thing!

[Clemont] A Flying-type like Fletchling

has an advantage over Surskit, too!

[Serena] There he is-- It's Ash!

Can I help you?

I was kind of wondering if it would be okay

if I watched them battle?

Of course, that would be just fine, welcome.

Why don't you join us over here?

Yeah!

It's getting real good!

That's so nice of you, thanks!

Okay, Fletchling, Peck, let's go!

Ling, Ling, Ling, Ling, Ling, Ling...

Ling!

Quick, dodge it!

Sur!

Now, use Ice Beam!

Surskit!

Dodge it!Ling, Ling, Ling!

Awesome!Yeah-- Go for it, Fletchling!

Surskit, Sticky Web, go!

Fletchling, Double Team!

Ling, Ling, Ling, Ling!

Sur, Sur, Sur, Sur...

Ling, Ling, Ling!

Sur, Sur, Sur, Sur, Sur, Sur, Sur!

Fletchling!

It dodged everything!

All right, attack, attack, attack, attack!

Now, Fletchling, use Razor Wind!

Fletchling!

Surskit!

Surskit...

[Referee] Surskit is unable to battle!

Fletchling wins!

Chling, Ling!

Fletchling, Fletchling!

[all] All right!

Did you see how totally awesome Ash battles?!

I sure did!

Now both sides have one Pokémon left!

Ash just might win this!

Surskit, you were great.

You deserve a good rest.

Time to beat your other Pokémon.

And get my hands on my first Kalos Gym Badge!

It's not going to be that easy.

My Gym Leader pride's on the line!

Let's do this, Vivillon!

Vivillon!

[all] "Who's that Pokémon?"

[All] "It's Vivillon!"

Vivillon.

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

[woman] Vivillon, The Scale Pokémon.

Vivillon are skillfully able to find a source of water.

It has been said that you'll find a spring

if you follow a Vivillon.

All right, Fletchling, Peck!

Chling!

Ling, Ling, Ling, Ling, Ling!

Ling!

See, Flying-type moves are super effective against Vivillon!

Fletch...

Vivillon, use Psychic!

Vivillon!

Ling, Ling, Ling!

What happened?

Since I made an ice b*ttlefield,

I want you to experience what it's all about!

Chling, Ling, Ling, Ling!

Fletchling!

Fletchling, you okay?!

Can you still fly?

Fletch, Fletch, Fletchling.

All right!

Use Gust!

Vivillon!

Fletchling!

It's stuck in that Sticky Web!

Oh no!

Break free!

You can do it, Fletchling!

Fletchling!

A picture-perfect opportunity!

Vivillon, Solar Beam!

Vivillon!

Vivillon!

Oh no, Fletchling!

Fletchling!

Fletchling!

Fletchling...

[Referee] Fletchling is unable to battle!

Vivillon wins, which means the victor is Viola, the Gym Leader!

Thanks a lot, Vivillon.

Fletchling!

Are you okay?

Ling!

Ash!

We need to get them both to the Pokémon Center.

I'm afraid that battle put them through a lot!

Fletch...Pi, Pika.

[Ash] I know I lost.

But I'll come back here stronger!

When I do, I hope you'll let me have a rematch.

I'll be looking forward to it.

Come back anytime!

Let's go!

[Serena] Is that...

[Ash] Nurse Joy, please take care of my Pokémon!

Wigglytuff, Wigglytuff.

Don't worry, Ash.

They'll be all better in no time.

[Alexa] So that's the photo you took

when they were on their way here?

That's right.

Isn't it a great shot?

Excellent!

You can really pick up the powerful bond

Ash and Pikachu have with each other.

Helioptile!

You're right, although...

their battling wasn't all that powerful.

Don't underestimate them.

I wouldn't be surprised if things are quite different

the next time you battle him.

That's the kind of Trainer Ash is.

I think I'm going out for a little while.

Tile!

But, where are you going?

[Bonnie] Here, eat up!

Oh Dedenne, you're such a cutie pie!

It must've been really hungry!

[Ash] Viola totally beat me.

Man, is she strong.

Pika!

Surskit!

Pika!

Fletchling!

[Ash] Pikachu and Fletchling weren't able

to show their strengths at all.

If that's the way it's gonna be,

I can't win, no matter how many times I try.

What do I do?!

[Serena] Uh...

Excuse me, I think this is yours.

Guess I forgot it.

Hey, thanks a lot!

[Bonnie] Wow, you're that girl from before!

Before?

She was standing with us during your battle.

My name's Bonnie, and this is my big brother!

I'm Clemont.

And say hello to Dedenne.

Dedenne!

[Serena] Nice to meet you!

What do you know!

Sorry, I was so busy battling, I didn't see you there

Oh, that's okay.

My nameis Ash!

Yeah, I know.

Serena's my name.

Do you remember...

[Pokémon center chimes]

Thank you for waiting.

Your Pikachu and Fletchling

are now fully recovered and feeling fine!

Ling!Pika!

Pika, Pika!Fletch!

That's great, thank you, Nurse Joy!

It's my pleasure!

Wigglytuff!

Fletchling and Pikachu?

This is Serena.

She was with Clemont and Bonnie watching us battle.

Pika, Pika!

Fletch, Fletch, Fletchling.

Hi, you two, nice to meet you.

I just realized something.

Nurse Joy, how did you get to the Pokémon Center

from Route without passing me?

Is that the Nurse Joy you met on Route ?

Couldn't be!

I would think the Nurse Joy you met on Route was my cousin.

Your cousin?

I knew it.

[Nurse Joy] Here's a photo of me and my cousins

during the Kalos region's nursing workshop.

Wow, it's the same in Kalos too.

Incredible!

Oh, right!

I was hoping you'd look at my Pokémon, too.

Fennekin!

Whoa... Never seen that Pokémon.

[woman] Fennekin, The Fox Pokémon.

Fennekin expels hot air that can reach nearly degrees.

It likes to snack on twigs. Kin!

I guess it's a Fire-type Pokémon, right?

And it's so cute!

Yeah, I got it from Professor Sycamore.

Professor Sycamore, huh?

[Clemont] You see, Fennekin is one of three Pokémon

that new Trainers may choose from.

Therefore, I can deduce that you're a new Trainer!

Right!

I just started my journey.

[Nurse Joy] I'll be glad to look at Fennekin.

Please wait right here while I perform a thorough exam!

Wigglytuff!

[Serena] Thank you, Nurse Joy.

[Alex]Ash?

[Ash] Alexa!

It looks like Pikachu and Fletchling are fully recovered.

Let me guess: you're going to start training right away!

Of course, I am!

You wanna help me out?

Pika, Pikachu?

You see, Noivern can use Gust too!

Noivern, let's go!

Noivern, Noi ...vern.

Noi!

One of our problems with Viola

was we couldn't get past Vivillon's Gust!

So let's try to keep our balance!

Pikachu, Fletchling, heads up!

Pikachu.Chling!

Go ahead, Alexa!

Here it comes!

Noivern, use Gust!

Noiv!

Noivern!

Hang in there, Pikachu!

Be strong, Fletchling!

Pika...Fletch, Fletch...

[all] Uh oh.Dedenne!

Pikachu-- Fletchling!

You okay?

Fletch... Fletchling.

Pika!

I'm here for you two!

So don't worry and concentrate on training.

Fletchling, Fletch, Fletch!

Pika, Pika!

Alexa, can Noivern use Gust again, please?

All right, but get ready.

Noivern, use Gust!

Vern, Vern!

Fletch, Fletch, Fletchling!Pika!

[Ash] We've gotta be able to deal with Gust!

Fletch, Fletch, Fletchling....Pikachu...

You're both doing great!

I know you can do it!

Dedenne, Dedenne!

Pi...Fletch...

Pika!Fletchling, Fletchling!

Ash, oh no!

[Ash] Vivillon's Gust isn't the only thing we have to deal with.

There's Surskit's Ice Beam and Sticky Web, too.

How are we gonna do it?

Fletchling, Fletch, Fletch!

Pika, Pika?

[Narrator] In the wake of Pikachu's and Fletchling's defeat

at the hands of Viola's Surskit and Vivillon,

will Ash be able to come up with a strategy

to defeat the Santalune City Gym Leader

and win his first Kalos region Gym badge?

[Serena]Ash?

Here, use this.

Great!

Thanks.

Here we go.

Ash, do you... remember me?
