18x06 - Facing the grand design!

[bunniefuu]

How do you like it, Inkay?

[HAPPY]

No one's going to take it from you. Slow down.

I believe that's your favorite food, isn't it?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Hmm?

JAMES Here comes the Twerp troop.

Time to put in a dishonest day's work.

[AGREEMENT]

- A UFO? - I know what that means.

It's a spaceship aliens ride in.

Guess what, you can see real ones

on the mountain just up ahead.

While it's true there have been many alleged UFO sightings

that have occurred at the peak of Grace Tower

those sightings proved to be something different.

There's no scientific evidence to back it up.

Well, I think those aliens are real. I do.

And maybe they have lots of cute Pokémon with them, you know?

[AGREEMENT]

I'd like to meet a Pokémon from space. That's cool.

[AGREEMENT]

[all gasp]

[CURIOUS]

[INTRIGUED]

It's a Malamar.

ASH "Facing the Grand Design."

NARRATOR During their journey to Coumarine City

our heroes have suddenly come across a Malamar

at the foot of a rocky mountain called Grace Tower.

Hey. That's a Malamar, right?

It is. It looks like the one who hypnotized us that time.

Careful. Watch out for the light.

[INDIFFERENT]

[SURPRISED]

[CONTENT]

Wow, look at all the Malamar and Inkay.

- Oh. - Amazing.

This forest must be home

to lots of wild Malamar and Inkay.

[EXCITED]

BONNIE 'And lots of Flabébé, too.'

[HAPPY]

Look at the Bidoof.

Hah..

ASH Ledyba.

[EATING]

BONNIE They're eating together.

Looks like they're all good friends.

[AGREEMENT]

I guess all the Malamar who live here are really nice.

[AGREEMENT]

MEOWTH Dig it. Those Malamar and Inkay look so happy.

It's like a Pokémon paradise.

Sure is nice.

[AGREEMENT]

ASH Look out!

- What's wrong with them? - Hey! What gives?

You almost hit us, you know.

- Huh? - Huh?

[ALARMED]

Huh? Hey! Inkay, wait!

JESSIE James?

Man, what's with all the hectic hubbub?

[AGREEMENT]

SERENA Someone needs to teach them how to drive.

- For sure. That was not nice. - Hmph.

[AGREEMENT]

Well, thank goodness

everybody's alright.

Yeah, you're right.

SERENA Wow, what a strangely shaped mountain.

That's why the UFOs are attracted to it.

Hey! Come out, UFO.

[EXCITED]

Hi, alien Pokémon. I want to be your friend.

PIKACHU [AFFIRMATIVE]

I already told you. UFOs and aliens aren't real.

I know. Let's climb up and see for ourselves.

[EXCITED]

CLEMONT You actually wanna

climb that thing?

[EXCITED]

JAMES Inkay, slow down.

[IMPATIENT]

I can't believe it's making us climb this monster.

[AGREEMENT]

WOBBUFFET [TIRED]

Huh? It's those trucks.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH What's that?

I'm seeing things.

JESSIE Would someone tell me what's going on?

Hmm. I feel like I've seen them before.

[ALARMED]

MEOWTH 'It's a Malamar!'

[gasps] That's not just any Malamar.

It's the one from the radio observatory.

That's that wicked Malamar that had us by the brains

and wouldn't let go.

[FEARFUL]

JESSIE 'Oh, no. Three of them.'

I bet they're not here for their favorite charity.

[FEARFUL]

[FOCUSED]

[AGITATED]

JESSIE 'Meowth, translation, please.'

I can't tell. It's over the top with rage.

It better not be trying to hand us over to them.

Although, I wouldn't put it past that traitor.

It must want us to be hypnotized

so we can be controlled again.

What? It can't be!

Don't forget, Inkay evolves into Malamar.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were all in cahoots.

Perish the thought.

My Inkay would never do something so sinister.

It despises those malicious Malamar like we do.

Then why is it giving away our position?

- Well, you see.. - Huh?

[ANGRY]

You and your big mouth.

I think it's time to beat this pop stand.

Me too!

[THOUGHTFUL]

You've got to get a grip, big brother.

Easy for you to say, little sister.

Alright, guys. Let's take a break.

Good idea.

[AGREEMENT]

[screaming]

[FEARFUL]

[all groaning]

Team Rocket.

Trying to steal Pikachu again, aren't you?

Why don't you guys give it a rest?

Please. It's not the time for stealing anyone or anything.

Look, Twerps, we've got big problems.

You dopes have got big problems, too.

- What are you doing? - Huh?

Get in here.

JESSIE Stop loitering and hurry up.

- Huh? - What's going on?

[CONFUSED]

ASH Malamar?

OFFICER JENNY I'll explain this later, Ash.

Hold on. How do you know my name? Huh?

I know Team Rocket's your enemy, but for now, we need a truce.

- I don't believe it. - Huh?

Officer Jenny.

It's good to see you all again.

So the Malamar from the radio observatory's

on this mountain?

[SURPRISED]

Yes, and with two other Malamar.

After the terrifying incident at the radio observatory

I began a secret investigation.

Malamar are highly intelligent.

Look at this.

'They manipulated the Kalos region's'

'most distinguished scientists into activating their device'

'for use as a w*apon.'

SERENA 'As a w*apon?'

Like the one you saw at the observatory.

The scientists' device is now at the top of this mountain.

CLEMONT I wonder.. What are they going to do with this device?

Last time we saw that Malamar

it wanted to take over the world as part of some grand design.

I still can't be certain what their objective is.

What I do know, is that they're definitely plotting something

and it's massive.

I don't get it, but I'm scared.

[AGREEMENT]

No need to be scared.

I'll stop them, no matter what their plan may be.

I will not let them have their way.

[all gasp]

[SURPRISED]

[all gasp]

- Huh? - Huh? What's that light?

[ANGRY]

- Huh? - It's the Malamar.

[ALARMED]

[ANGRY]

Inkay, settle down.

Not again! Inkay did this before.

Now I'm really getting suspicious.

[gasps]

EVIL MALAMAR # [INTRIGUED]

MEOWTH Yipes. They said "So we meet again, intruders.

EVIL MALAMAR # [HAPPY]

MEOWTH The final stage of our grand design has begun."

[all gasping]

"Final stage of their grand design?"

What are you going to do with that ball of light?

What in the world are you up to?

[PSYCHIC MOVE]

[SCARED]

[AMUSED]

[all gasp]

[PSYCHIC MOVE]

[all screaming]

Bonnie! Serena! Ash!

Jessie, Wobbuffet. No!

[SMUG]

[ANGRY]

[ATTACK]

[ANNOYED]

CLEMONT Ah.

We need to get away for the time being.

- He's right. - Let's do what he says.

Now, Bunnelby, come out and use Dig.

[APPEARING]

[DIG MOVE]

Don't worry, you guys.

I swear I'll come back and get you out of this.

Okay. We're all counting on you.

Come on, this way.

Jessie and Wobbuffet, hang tough.

We'll get you out of there.

- Count on it. - Let's go.

INKAY [ANGRY]/[STRUGGLING]

[FOCUSED]

[ANGRY]

[CONTENT]

GROUP Who's that Pokémon?

GROUP It's Bidoof.

BIDOOF [EXERTION]

[HAPPY]

[panting]

Free at last.

Thanks a lot, Bunnelby. Now get a good rest.

INKAY [ANGRY]/[STRUGGLING]

What's gotten into you? Dear!

You're acting like you've completely lost

your Inkay-ish mind.

- Why? - Chill out.

I can't understand what you're saying.

[CONCERNED]/[EXCITED]

Inkay can't forgive that evil Malamar

for controlling Team Rocket.

No, for controlling you back then.

'Enough getting jerked around.'

Inkay's gonna knock their blocks off.

Oh. I see.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

I didn't know you felt that way.

I'm sorry I was so totally clueless about you, pal.

Now. Let's show those Malamar what for.

[AGREEMENT]

- Huh? Wait! - Huh?

Those Malamar are really strong.

We don't stand a chance against them by ourselves.

The Twerp's right. So what are we gonna do?

[THOUGHTFUL]/[DETERMINED]

MEOWTH Hey, where are you going?

- Wait, I'll bet it has an idea. - Eh?

JAMES I believe in Inkay. Come on. Let's go.

[HAPPY]

Alright. What's your plan?

[AMUSED]

SERENA 'What's going on?'

JENNY 'I see. So this is your grand design.'

'You want to use that light to alter our world.'

To change the environment to suit you.

And that's what it will look like when you're all done.

That's how the world's gonna end up?

No. No. I don't want that.

[EAGER]

[WORRIED]

[SURPRISED]

Wait. Don't attack.

We're the good guys. We're on your side.

[INSISTENT]

CLEMONT I see. Inkay's asking the forest Malamar to help us.

So Inkay's brilliant idea is to pit the good Malamar

against the evil Malamar.

So how are they taking it?

I think the jury's still out.

See, they're kind of not buying the bad Malamar's plot.

INKAY [UPSET]

EVIL MALAMAR # [PSYCHIC MOVE]

[all gasp]

Malamar.

It must have followed us all the way here.

[HYPER BEAM MOVE]

It-it used Hyper Beam.

[SHOCKED]

JAMES 'Meowth, translation.'

"Attention. Join our mission, all my fellow Pokémon.

Those who refuse will be eliminated."

And that's that.

[ANGRY]

[PSYCHO CUT MOVE]

[EXERTION]/[ANGRY]

[DEFIANT]

That Malamar's really mad its buddies were att*cked.

[PSYCHO CUT MOVE]

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

[EXERTION]

[PAINED]

[cheering]

- Yeah. - Huh?

CLEMONT Uh.. Thank you. I'm truly grateful.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

JAMES So what do you say?

Join us in our mission to stop those evildoers

once and for all, won't you please?

[INSISTENT]

[AGREEMENT]

- Ah. - That one turned red.

Augh. That one, too.

It's all starting.

- This is their countdown. - Huh?

Their countdown?

All the gathered energy will most likely be released now.

Whoa, no way.

[WORRIED]

Come on, James and Meowth should

have been back here by now.

[AGREEMENT]

[CURIOUS]

GOOD MALAMAR [PSYCHO CUT MOVE]

INKAY [FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

[all gasp]

[screaming]

CLEMONT Everybody!

[chuckling]

Better late than never.

You're in good hands.

[AGREEMENT]

Are you guys alright?

- Clemont! - Big brother!

You could've moved it a little quicker.

[AGREEMENT]

Sorry about that.

It took a bit of doing to procure some help.

[AGREEMENT]

[AMUSED]

JAMES Inkay!

[FEARFUL]

EVIL MALAMAR # [TRIUMPHANT]

[STRUGGLING]

[ANGRY]

[HYPNOSIS MOVE]

That jerk's hypnotizing Inkay.

It's forcing Inkay to join up with them against its will.

Wait, isn't Inkay already on their side?

[AGREEMENT]

Never. Inkay and I are true partners.

- Friends to the end. - James is right.

Inkay was freaking out on us before because it was trying

'to protect James from those dopes all along.'

[DAZED]

[CONFUSED]

[all gasping]

Why would you do something like that?

[PSYBEAM MOVE]

[all screaming]

[all coughing]

Please stop it, old chum.

Are you going to let our bond be severed by that creep?

Uh.. Wait a sec.

Look at this. It's your favorite.

'A croissant.'

Our friendship began with this.

You've got to remember, and come back to me.

[AMUSED]

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[TACKLE MOVE]

Oof.

Let this remind you. We're partners.

Remember our days together.

[EATING]

Are you back?

Do you remember me?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Ah!

- Ha ha. - Yes.

[HAPPY]

[SURPRISED]

JAMES Okay, Inkay. It's payback time.

So use Tackle. Seal the deal.

[TACKLE MOVE]

EVIL MALAMAR # [PAINED]

[cheering]

Nice shot, chum.

[AGREEMENT]

[ANGRY]

Let's get in there too, Pikachu.

Yeah. We'll make sure this is as far as they go.

[DARK PULSE MOVE]

Pikachu, now. Thunderbolt.

[AFFIRMATIVE]/[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[DARK PULSE MOVE]

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]/ [PSYCHO CUT MOVE]

[IMPACT]

[PAINED]

Huh? Manectric, use Thunder. Go!

[APPEARING]

[THUNDER MOVE]

Look, the light's disappearing.

That's awesome.

[AGREEMENT]

Yay!

It's over. Your plan has failed.

Now come with me quietly, if you know what's good for you.

[DEFIANT]

They're escaping into the future

but they'll be back to fight again.

And when they return

their grand design will finally succeed.

[all gasp]

EVIL MALAMAR [PSYCHIC MOVE]

[EXERTION]

- Clemont, What are they doing? - Huh?

They're destroying every bit of evidence.

Guys. Everybody run!

A plot to alter our world.

Just thinking about it gives me the creeps.

I know. But for now, I'm glad we stopped them.

PIKACHU [AGREEMENT]

SERENA 'Ah. Look.'

They said they're heading into the future

but that's not all they said.

'They said they might come back someday.'

NARRATOR And so, Malamar's terrifying plot

to change the world was stopped

and not a moment too soon.

Now our heroes will carry forward their search

for new adventures and new Pokémon.

Ugh.

Another plan to steal Pikachu bites the dust.

Thanks to the idiotic plot of those maniacal Malamar.

[AGREEMENT]

GOOD MALAMAR [HAPPY]

[CONTENT]

JAMES 'Well, there's a happy group.'

I guess all's well that ends well.

INKAY [AGREEMENT]

Huh?

[HAPPY]

They're all saying Inkay's their good buddy.

[FRIENDLY]

Huh?

[EXCITED]

Hah, they really like Inkay

and Inkay seems to like them too, don't you think?

Let's go.

Hold on. James?

[ALARMED]

Your happiness is more important to me

than anything in the world

and that includes asking you to stay with me.

[CONCERNED]

"That's why I'm staying with you!

"Being with you and the rest of Team Rocket makes me happy.

'So of course I'm gonna come along with you."'

Oh, Inkay. You're so..

Please forgive me for doubting the lasting bond between us.

[HAPPY]

Aww.

That's what being a team is all about.

It's all for one.

[AGREEMENT]

What can I say? You two are a perfect pair.

[HAPPY]

Alright. We'll get Pikachu next time.

What do you say, team?

- Yay. - Yay.

NARRATOR And the journey continues.
