NARRATOR: The Pokémon School
isn't in session today...

NARRATOR: ...and it looks
like Ash and the others

are going somewhere.

ASH: Heads up, Rotom,
we're taking off!

PROFESSOR BURNET:
They're all taking a nap, Ash.

ASH: Right. Sorry.

PIKACHU/LYCANROC (DUSK
FORM)/LITTEN/ROWLET: [SLEEPING]

ASH: They're sleeping
peacefully, all right,

but I hope they'll be okay.

PROFESSOR KUKUI: We're just
going shopping close by,

so let's not wake them up.

ROTOM DEX: I agree.
They'll be fine.

ASH: Then maybe you could stay
here and watch the house and

we'll be back in no time.

ROTOM DEX: I read you loud
and clear, so off you go, then!

PIKACHU: [GROGGY]

ROTOM DEX: Everyone is
sleeping like a log.

The perfect time for
a few pictures!

DELIVERY MAN: A Rotom Pokédex?

There's a new one. Anybody home
to sign for this package?

ROTOM DEX: I can sign for the
package. I'm the house sitter!

DELIVERY MAN: Being the house
sitter is so grown-up.

ROTOM DEX: It's not
like I'm a little kid.

When it comes to house
sitting, I'm an expert!

MACHOKE : [EXERTION] / [HAPPY]

DELIVERY MAN: If you'll
please touch this...

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

ASH: Hold on.

ASH: Rotom? Hey.

PROFESSOR KUKUI: What's wrong?

ASH: It's Rotom. Look!

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Let's see.

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Hey!

WASH ROTOM:
Rebooting Rotom Pokédex.

PROFESSOR BURNET:
Sounds like it's rebooting.

ASH: Did Rotom
break or something?

PROFESSOR KUKUI: I'm not sure.

WASH ROTOM: Alola!
Nice to meet you. Wash!

ASH: Hey, Rotom's acting weird.

WASH ROTOM: My name is, my name
is, my name is, my name is...

WASH ROTOM: Rotom, wash!
My name is Rotom, wash!

ASH: Hey! Rotom! You know me.
Ash, Ash!

WASH ROTOM: Audio
settings have completed.

WASH ROTOM: Alola! I'm Rotom
Pokédex, wash! I greet you!

ASH: It's acting really weird.

WASH ROTOM:
Confirming user, Ash.

WASH ROTOM:
Alola, user Ash. Wash!

ASH: Yeah. Alola.

[CONFUSED] / [PAINED]

FORM)/ROWLET: [SURPRISED]

PIKACHU: [PAINED] / [UPSET]

PROFESSOR KUKUI: Well
it appears to be working...

ASH: I guess, but don't you
think it's acting weird?

PROFESSOR BURNET: It might be
because Rotom's system rebooted.

PROFESSOR KUKUI: It's possible.

I suggest we see
what happens for now.

ASH: Got it.

PIKACHU: [DISTRESSED]

LYCANROC (DUSK FORM): [NERVOUS]

ASH: Rotom, you feeling okay?

WASH ROTOM: Wash!

ROTOM DEX: Where am I?

ROTOM DEX: Hold on.
Something's...not right.

NURSE JOY: Thank you
so much for your help!

DELIVERY MAN: Thank you! And
thank you for your business!

ROTOM DEX: What's going on?
I'm in a washing machine.

When I woke up, I had already
changed into Wash Rotom.

Where's my Pokédex?

NURSE JOY: I can finally do
the laundry that's been

piling up around here.

NURSE JOY: First, turn it on...

NURSE JOY: Next...the wash
button. And away we go!

ROTOM DEX: PAINFUL...

ROTOM : [PANICKING]

ROTOM : [ALERT] / [EXERTION]

NURSE JOY: What's wrong with it?
Isn't it brand-new?

ROTOM DEX: My Pokédex! Staying
inside this electrical power

line is kind of uncomfortable.

ROTOM DEX:
I'm getting sucked in!

POPPLIO: [AMUSED]

LANA: Now play nice, okay?

HARPER: This way!

SARAH: This way!

HARPER: This way!

SARAH: This way!

HARPER/SARAH: This way!
This way! This way! This way!

This way! This way! This way

ROTOM DEX: Now I've changed
into a Fan Rotom! Where am I?

ROTOM DEX: I'm at Lana's house!

HARPER: This!

SARAH: This!

HARPER: This!

SARAH: This!

ROTOM DEX: Will you two stop
chasing me around already?!

LANA: Now what are you doing?

ROTOM DEX: Being inside a fan
can be so dizzying...

I've got to find my Pokédex!

I've got to get back
to being Rotom Dex!

ROTOM DEX: If that was Lana's
house, that means Professor

Kukui's house is this way!

ROTOM DEX: I did it!

ROTOM DEX: I'm back! Now
everything's back to normal!

ROTOM DEX: No, it's not!

This isn't my Pokédex!
I'm stuck inside a TV!

ROTOM DEX: Ash! Professor Kukui!
Professor Burnet!

ROTOM DEX: They left me
and went somewhere!

But where did they go?
Where did they go?!

WEATHER WOMAN: Now for
the Alolan weather report.

ROTOM DEX: Oh, no, no, no!
Not here!

MALE TV ANNOUNCER: Our next
segment is about a gourmet

restaurant that's the
talk of the town.

ROTOM DEX: No, no,
no, not here, either!

ROTOM DEX: Wow. Nice catch!

ROTOM DEX: But this isn't right!

ROTOM DEX: Where am I now?

LAKI: The culprit who
committed this crime

is exceptionally smart.

ROTOM DEX: Wow! It's Laki!
I'm on Alolan Detective Laki!

LAKI: The culprit
is here among us.

ROTOM DEX: Just in time for
the culprit to be revealed!

LAKI: The culprit is...

ROTOM DEX: Is who?

LAKI: YOU, that's who!

ROTOM DEX: Me?! I'm the
culprit?! How can that be?!

Wait! No, I'm not!

ROTOM DEX: If Ash and
the Pokédex aren't here,

does that mean he went to
throw the Pokédex out because

I'm no longer in it?

ROTOM DEX: Don't do it!!

ROTOM DEX: I have
to go and find him!

ROTOM DEX: Ash, where are you?

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

ASH: Rotom's definitely
acting weird, all right.

Maybe we should take
it to the Pokémon Center.

PIKACHU: [QUESTIONING]

WASH ROTOM: It's
a rare Pokémon, wash!

ASH: Yeah, where?!

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

WASH ROTOM: I got a picture!

ASH: What is that?
Is it in the Pokédex?

WASH ROTOM:
How would I know, wash?

ASH: That picture doesn't
tell me anything at all.

Let's have Professor
Kukui look at it later.

ROTOM DEX: That's...

ROTOM DEX: A rare Pokémon!

ROTOM DEX: I need
to take a picture! Wait,

I'm not a Pokédex anymore...

ROTOM DEX: Oh, no!

ROTOM DEX: I want to
return to my Pokédex...

Where could Ash be?

ROTOM DEX: I'm getting
sucked in again!

ROTOM DEX: Where am I?

ROTOM DEX: It's Lillie!

ROTOM DEX: Hey, Lillie! It's me!

LILLIE: A Mow Rotom?!

SNOWY: [QUESTIONING] /
[EXERTION]

LILLIE: Help! Why is that
Mow Rotom chasing after me?!

SNOWY: [EXERTION]

HOBBES: Unbelievable!
Miss Lillie! Don't worry!

ORICORIO: [APPEARING]

HOBBES: Oricorio,
use Revelation Dance!

ORICORIO:
[REVELATION DANCE MOVE]

ROTOM DEX: I'm going numb again!

HOBBES: Are you
all right, Miss Lillie?

LILLIE: I...think so...

SNOWY: [WORRIED]

ROTOM DEX: Where's my Pokédex?

ASH/MALLOW/LANA/SOPHOCLES/LILLI
E/KIAWE/ROTOM DEX:

"Who's that Pokémon?"

ASH/MALLOW/LANA/SOPHOCLES/LILLI
E/KIAWE/ROTOM DEX:

ROTOM DEX: Now where am I?

MALLOW: Sorry for the
short notice, Kiawe!

ROTOM DEX: That voice...
It's Mallow!

KIAWE: Here's your order.

MALLOW: Thanks so much!

KIAWE: That's unusual. Running
out of Moomoo Milk like that.

MALLOW: I know, right?

We just had a lot of cream
stew and gratin orders.

MALLOW: As a token of my
appreciation, have some custard!

I'm just making it now. Hold on!

ROTOM DEX: She's coming
this way! Now's my chance!

MALLOW: It opened on its own...

STEENEE: [CURIOUS]

MALLOW: Is it finished?

MALLOW: It hasn't set...

STEENEE: [DISAPPOINTED]

STEENEE: [SURPRISED]

STEENEE: [STARTLED]

STEENEE: [SCARED]

ROTOM DEX: Can't you
see that I'm in here?!

STEENEE: [SCARED]

KIAWE: Mallow, what's wrong?

STEENEE: [SCARED]

MALLOW: The microwave's moving!

KIAWE: Could that
be a Heat Rotom?!

STEENEE: [PETRIFIED]

ROTOM DEX: Hey!
Kiawe! Mallow! Steenee!

KIAWE: Marowak...let's go!

MAROWAK: [APPEARING] /
[EXERTION]

MAROWAK: [EXERTION]
[BONEMERANG MOVE]

MALLOW: What was all that about?

KIAWE: Beats me...

ROTOM DEX: This time,
I changed into Frost Rotom!

And I'm feeling kind
of stuffed, as well.

SOPHOCLES: All of that computer
programming has really made

me hungry. The perfect time
for a little ice cream!

TOGEDEMARU: [EXERTION]
[AGREEMENT]

ROTOM DEX: It's Sophocles!

SOPHOCLES: Now which
kind should I eat?

SOPHOCLES: Want some,
Togedemaru?

TOGEDEMARU: [ENTHUSIASTIC]

ROTOM DEX: Come on,
Sophocles, notice me...

TOGEDEMARU: [QUESTIONING]

SOPHOCLES: What's wrong,
Togedemaru?

ROTOM DEX: I'm right here!

ROTOM DEX: He froze!

ROTOM DEX: I'm sorry, Sophocles!

ROTOM DEX: [EXERTION]

SOPHOCLES'S MOTHER: All of
that cleaning has made me

really hungry, which makes
it the perfect time for

a little ice cream!

SOPHOCLES'S MOTHER:
Oh, my dear...

ROTOM DEX: There's
no other place to go...

ROTOM DEX: If it's going
to be like this, I rather

stay in a washing machine...

ASH: Rotom is still
acting really strange.

WASH ROTOM: Wash! Wash! Wash!
Wash! Wash! Wash! Wash! ...

NURSE JOY: I'd say so...

ASH: It started to talk weird.
Then, when it took a picture of

a rare Pokémon, it didn't
even try to get it in focus.

NURSE JOY: It was
a rare Pokémon?

WASH ROTOM: Wash!

ASH: Can you pull
up the picture?

WASH ROTOM: Wash, wash!

NURSE JOY: Uh-oh. It's blank.

ASH: Why is that?

WASH ROTOM: It's quite a
simple explanation, wash.

I deleted all
unnecessary data, wash!

ASH: Why would you do
a thing like that?!

NURSE JOY: Professor Kukui
would most likely know about

a Rotom Pokédex better
than anybody.

ASH: He said all we
can do is wait awhile

and see what happens.

WASH ROTOM: Wash! Wash! Wash!
Wash! Wash! Wash! Wash! Wash!

Wash! Wash! Wash! Wash!

ASH: It's been awhile...

NURSE JOY: Now that I think of
it, the washing machine I just

bought was acting very strange,
and it made a big mess as well.

ASH: Washing machine?

NURSE JOY:
It's right over there.

NURSE JOY:
I'm planning on returning it.

WASH ROTOM: That
washing machine makes

me feel kind of nostalgic.

ASH: Nostalgic?

PIKACHU: [QUESTIONING]

ROTOM: [EXERTION]

NURSE JOY: What is it?!

ASH: It's a Rotom!

WASH ROTOM: Rotom.

The Plasma Pokémon.
An Electric and Ghost type.

WASH ROTOM: Rotom
play pranks by inhabiting

electrical appliances.

When one inhabits a washing
machine, it's called Wash Rotom.

WASH ROTOM: Wash!

ASH: And you know what? Since
a Rotom is inside my Pokédex.

It's a Rotom Dex.

NURSE JOY: I wonder. Maybe
Rotom got inside my new washing

machine and was playing
pranks on me, as well!

ROTOM : [FRUSTRATED]

PIKACHU: [QUESTIONING]

ASH: Hey! Rotom went inside!

ROTOM DEX: Phew... I finally
found a place where I can relax.

But does that mean

I'm going to live in this
washing machine forever?

ROTOM DEX: It's Ash!

ROTOM DEX: I found him!
I finally found Ash!

Ash, I'm in here!

ASH: Hey, that's Hydro Pump!

PIKACHU: [STARTLED]

ASH: Pikachu, Electro Ball!

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE] /
[ELECTRO BALL MOVE]

ROTOM DEX: You've got
it all wrong! I'm not trying

to have a battle with you!

PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

ASH: Careful, Pikachu!
It's up to something!

PIKACHU: [BACK] [AFFIRMATIVE]

ROTOM DEX: No, no! How do
I get through to them?!

ASH: That's Bubble Beam?!

ROTOM DEX: No, it's not a move!
It's my tears! I can't stop!

WASH ROTOM: [SCARED]

PIKACHU: [SCARED]

ASH: Pikachu!
Thunderbolt, let's go!

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]
[EXERTION] / [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

ROTOM DEX/WASH ROTOM: [PAINED]

ROTOM DEX: [PAINED] / [EXERTION]

WASH ROTOM: [PAINED] /
[EXERTION]

ROTOM X : [PANICKING]

ROTOM X : [IMPACT]

ROTOM DEX : [SURPRISED]

WASH ROTOM : [SURPRISED]

ASH: MAN, am I numb...

PIKACHU: [SHEEPISH]

ASH: Rotom?

ASH: It's not moving again.

ROTOM DEX: Rotom Pokédex, on!

ASH: Hey it turned on!

ROTOM DEX: Audio settings,
complete!

ASH: Hey! Hey, Rotom!

PIKACHU: [CURIOUS]

ROTOM DEX: Hi, Ash! Alola!
I'm finally back where I belong!

ASH: It is you!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

ASH: Finally back?

ASH: Oh no!

PIKACHU: [QUESTIONING]

ROTOM DEX: Wait! Hang on.

ROTOM DEX: This
is what happened...

JIGGLYPUFF: [GRUMPY]

MUDBRAY: [SLEEPING]

ASH: The two of
you were switched?

ROTOM DEX: That's right!

I'm not sure how, but the Rotom
inside this washing machine and

I somehow switched places.

ASH: I see! I get it now!

PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

ROTOM DEX: Being inside this
Pokédex? It suits me perfectly!

From now on, I'm going to be the
best Pokédex I possibly can!

ROTOM DEX: Now, that's strange.

It seems like some of my
data has been changed.

ASH: Oh, yeah, right.

That Wash Rotom took a
picture of a rare Pokémon.

ROTOM DEX: I want to see it!

ASH: That's the problem. The
Wash Rotom erased it already.

ROTOM DEX: That must be the one
I wanted to take the picture of.

I'll go find it right away!

ASH: Wait, Rotom! Hold

PIKACHU: [CALLING] / [EXERTION]

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

PIKACHU: [SHEEPISH]

ASH: Rotom, NO!

ASH: Come on... Rotom?

PIKACHU: [QUESTIONING]

ASH: No! Not again...

NURSE JOY: I don't
think it's your Rotom.

ASH: Then where did it go?

ASH: Hey, Rotom?!

ASH: Where did it go this time?

ROTOM DEX: Up here,
Ash! I'm UP HERE!

NARRATOR: Rotom had a big
day inhabiting lots of

different appliances. Hopefully,
it'll be able to return to the

Pokédex much faster this
time...as the journey continues!
