21x20 - Blaze, Nyabby! Overthrow Gaogaen!!

[bunniefuu]

[MC] We have a first since
the Battle Royal Dome

opened its doors,
19 consecutive victories!

It’s the Masked Royal and Incineroar!

Will they make it 20
with this Battle Royal?

What’s a Battle Royal?

It's an Alolan tradition where four
Pokémon battle each other at once.

Yeah! That sounds exciting!

[MC] Is there anyone who can
stop this invincible duo’s winning streak?

[meows]

[MC] Now we wait for the opening bell.

-[bell rings and cheering]

[crowd cheering]

Machamp!

[MC] Machamp makes the first move,
followed by Decidueye and Primarina!

They’re all going after Incineroar!

Rowlet to Decidueye, Popplio to Primarina
and Litten to Incineroar.

-Final evolved forms!
-Oh, yeah! What an awesome lineup!

Now, Machamp, b*llet Punch!

Ma-Ma-Ma-Machamp!

-[chuckles]
-Champ?

Primarina, use Sparkling Aria!

Primarina!

Decidueye, Spirit Shackle!

Decidueye!

[MC] Incineroar is incredibly tough,
completely unfazed

by its opponents’ att*cks!

Man, it’s strong!

-[Litten meows]
-Pika!

-Incineroar! It’s our move!
-[roars]

Incineroar, here we go. Get fired up!

And incinerate the ring!

[roars]

All right, use Malicious Moonsault!

Incineroar!

[grunts]

[bell rings]

[MC] They did it!
The victor is Incineroar!

That’s 20 consecutive victories!

-It’s invincible!
-[roars]

-Litten!
-Pika!

-Yeah!
-[door opens]

[Burnet] I’m back!

Huh? Hey, Professor!

Huh? Kukui’s not back yet?

Trainers watching on TV,
tomorrow, you can challenge Incineroar

-and me as part of a special event!
-[growls]

Whoa! All right! I’ve got to go to that!

[chuckles] They’re cool, aren’t they?

You know them?

I love the Masked Royal! He’s amazing!

I’m looking forward to a battle with heat!

So, until then? Enjoy!

Incineroar.

Oh!

So that’s the Battle Royal Dome!
It’s huge!

-Hey! Hi, Ash!
-[Sophocles] Over here! Over here!

Hey, guys! [pants]

-[James] Welcome, fans!
-[Meowth] Anybody hungry?

[Jessie] How about a few
of our Bewear Brand Honey Malasadas?

[kids laugh]

[all sigh]

Our stand’s ready to fall.

-Come on, people. Fill her up.
-Wobbuffet.

-[man] Attention, please!
-[all] Huh?

Is anyone experienced
at being a master of ceremonies?

The MC is ill and we need a stand-in.

Yes. We just happen to be
freelance MCs.

Book us
and we’ll give you a bulk discount!

Wobbuffet!

Ta-da!

-Hey! Not bad!
-Enjoy!

[laughs] You’re him!

Who are you?

Don’t tell me you you’ve never heard
of the Masked Royal, Kiawe!

He wears a mask like this!
Yup! I’m a super fan!

And his Incineroar’s super strong!

We’re going to have
a battle with them, no matter what!

[Pikachu squeals]

I was thinking.
I wonder why he wears that mask.

He really must not want anyone
to see his face.

Maybe he’s just real shy!

It’s all a mystery. That’s why he’s great.

[Jessie] Good evening, ladies
and gentlemen, and welcome!

What a day,
in the beautiful Battle Royal Dome!

The Masked Royal versus everyone else!
It’s the Battle Royal!

So, let’s get this show on the road!

Presenting the Battle Royal’s
shining star...

[all] Your fave rave, The Masked Royal!

Wobba! Wobba!

Enjoy!

[crowd] Enjoy!

-[crowd cheering]
-All right!

-You want to battle me?
-[crowd] Yeah!

[all] Yeah!

All right!
Then let me introduce you to my partner!

The hottest flame in all of Alola,
come out, Incineroar!

[roars]

[James]
It's that mighty warrior Incineroar!

[Jessie] And the Masked Royal’s fiery
counterpart makes a heated entrance!

[Rotom] Incineroar. The Heel Pokémon.

A Fire and Dark type
and Litten’s final evolved form.

Incineroar is capable
of sh**ting fire from its midsection.

A circle of fire wraps around its hips
like a belt.

A belt made of fire? That’s awesome!

Now, raise your hands if you want
a battle with the Masked Royal!

[cheering]

-Me, me, me!
-Me! Pick me! Me!

What a well-trained unit,
anything but ordinary.

It’s true
and they’re right in front of me!

Litten!

-[grunts]
-[all gasp]

-Litten, come back!
-[Litten mutters]

-[Jessie] Huh? Uh?
-Now there’s a go-getter.

Litten!

-Huh?
-Litten!

Oh? Hey! You’re that...

Huh? Hey, little Litten!

-[Ash] Sorry!
-Huh?

[both] Twerp time! Oh!

Hey, Litten!
You can’t just jump in the ring!

Let’s go back!

[Jessie] Talk about an unexpected
turn of events!

-[James] A Litten barges into the ring!
-[all gasp]

Something wrong?

[meows]

[sniffs] Litten!

Huh? Hm.

I’d say you’re curious about Incineroar,
aren’t you?

You see, Litten saw Incineroar on TV
and has wanted to battle it ever since.

Then we’re honored!
Very well. Stay here in the ring!

Our first challengers will be you two!

Ah! You mean it?

All right! [laughs]
And it’s all because of you, Litten!

So are the two of you by yourselves?

No. Those are my friends.

Then call your friends up, too!

We need two more opponents
for the Battle Royal.

[James] Well, then, allow me to introduce
the three challenging Pokémon!

[Meowth] Litten, the go-getter!

[Jessie] Marowak, the determined!

[James] And Charjabug! All aboard!

And an adorable mini Masked
Royal challenger, too!

[chuckles] I’m a little nervous.

My name’s Fire Jameston
and I will be your host.

Your commentators are Freezer Jessip
and Thunder Meowtaire on the call.

-If you’ll please explain the rules.
-Right!

Battle Royal is a battling style,
an Alolan style with a history

that’s been
passed down since the good old days.

Four Pokémon battle at once
and the last Pokémon left standing

will win the whole shebang!

Excitement times ten!

Now, all of you come at me at once!

[bell rings]

[crowd cheering]

-Let’s do it! Use Scratch now!
-[Litten roars]

-Marowak, Bonemerang!
-Maro! Maro! Marowak!

-Charjabug, Discharge!
-[squeals]

-[grunts]
-[Litten yells]

[both groan]

[Marowak groans]

[all] Huh!

[all groan]

-And Incineroar is unfazed!
-So strong! I want that!

-They’re all down!
-And it’s three against one!

That just what you’d expect
from Alola’s fieriest flame!

Marowak!

Maro! Marowak!

Marowak, Shadow Bone!

Marowak!

[roars]

Marowak!

-Oh, no!
-[James] It deflected that Shadow Bone!

[Jessie] With a great head-banging
sound effect!

Now we’ll show you a little move
we’ve been saving just for this!

Darkest Lariat, go!

[roars]

Look at that! Incineroar’s Darkest Lariat!

[Jessie] Isn’t it just the twirliest?

That’s amazing. [gasps]

[all squeal and gasp]

[groaning]

That’s Darkest Lariat, huh?
Thanks for sharing.

Litten!

-[cheering]
-[growls]

[James] Unbelievable! Litten is still
standing after enduring Darkest Lariat!

Awesome! You’re doing great!

-[squeals angrily]
-Huh?

Litten’s angry.

[chuckles] I see. So you realized
we’re still holding back, didn’t you?

[grunts]

Huh?

What’s this? Is trouble on the way?

Litten!

[Litten growls]

Hm. I get it.

We’re having a battle.
Getting serious is what’s it’s all about!

-Right, Litten?
-Litten!

[roars]

You look serious, Incineroar.

I’m right with you! I’ll get serious, too!

-Litten! Go, go!
-We’re right behind you!

[kid] Litten! Litten!

-[crowd] Litten! Litten! Litten!
Huh?

Wow! The crowd at the Battle Royal Dome
is chanting Litten’s name!

Litten is everybody’s hero!

Yeah! Serious is fun!

Litten! Everybody’s cheering for you!

-Let’s give it all we’ve got!
-[meows]

Incineroar, Bulk Up now!

[roars]

It got so big!

-All right, Litten, use Fire Fang!
-Litten!

-All right, grab it!
-[muffled meows]

Oh! Litten!

[all gasp]

[Masked Royal] I wonder why
Litten insisted Incineroar get so serious.

Maybe Litten wants to become stronger
by fighting someone stronger than itself!

All right, Throat Chop!

-[Incineroar grunts]
-[Litten yowls]

[meows]

[all gasp]

Litten!

[all] Who’s that Pokémon?

It’s Incineroar!

[Incineroar] Incineroar!

[meows grumpily]

Losing’s no fun. I know.

That was some bump you took.

[Rotom] Using Bulk Up made
that Throat Chop even more powerful.

But you did your best.

[Jessie]
Talk about a challenging opponent.

Up against a serious Incineroar.

Getting bent out of shape
over just one loss.

I’m sure Litten could learn a lot from us.

Wobbuffet!

[Meowth] I know you can beat
that Incineroar, pally.

I believe in you.

Say, who knew emceeing would pay so much?

We’re rich! Let’s go.

[Litten grunts and meows]

-[meows and grunts]
-[Kukui] You know what?

It might’ve had an effect
on Litten’s battling instinct.

Battling instinct?

Its aggressive side may have been awakened
after battling Incineroar,

its final Evolution.

Hm.

-[Ash] Hey, Litten!
-[Little meows]

[Ash pants]

I think we should challenge Incineroar
one more time!

-[meows]
-All we need to do is get your fire

to burn hotter
than Incineroar’s fire does!

-Roc! Roc! Roc!
-Huh?

-[meows] Litten!
-Roc! Roc!

That’s it!

-Looks like a new move!
-Roc!

That motion, it looks like it might be
a Flame Charge!

Flame Charge? You think?

Right, Ash! Flame Charge is a move that
increases speed each time it’s used.

With that,
Incineroar won’t be able to catch it.

So, that’s what’s been going on here. Yes!

Let’s all train!

Before long, you’ll know Flame Charge!
Let’s go!

-[Pokémon cheer]
-Oh!

[Ash] Yeah!

Ah! [pants]

Don’t stop! One more time!

-Litten!
-Roc!

All right! Flame Charge, let’s go!

[hisses]

-[meows]
-Roc.

Whoa, so close!
Just a little bit more work.

Ash, it’s not quite like a Flame Charge.
It’s more like a Simmering Charge,

-or a Flame Nudge.
-Really?

-[Masked Royal] Training hard?
-[all] Huh?

-[Pikachu] Pika?
-Enjoy!

[Incineroar roars]

[all gasp]

The Masked Royal!

-But how?
-[Litten meows]

[laughs] We were jogging by when
we saw you, so we wanted to say hello!

[grunts]

Now, then, care to continue our battle
from the other day?

Incineroar versus Litten!

-[all] Huh?
-Litten!

[Incineroar grunts]

[meows]

Yes! Let’s do it, Litten!

Is that a good idea? Litten hasn’t
quite mastered Flame Charge yet!

But we’ve got to do it.
After all, the Masked Royal asked us!

-Thanks for doing this!
-Think nothing of it!

Serious-on-serious.
A double-serious battle!

Okay, Litten! Use Fire Fang!

[meows] Litten!

-Counter with Throat Chop!
-[Incineroar roars]

-Huh!
-Just like that!

-Litten, be strong!
-Pika!

Litten!

-We’re not down yet! Use Ember!
-Litten!

Litten!

It’s no use!

[grunts]

-Now use Cross Chop!
-[grunts]

-[gasps] Use Flame Charge!
-[all gasp]

-Litten!
-It’s still Simmering Charge!

-[roars]
-[meows]

Litten!

Use Flame Charge one more time!

-Litten!
-The flames are getting bigger!

-The simmering’s heating up!
-Stop it!

-[yowls]
-[Ash] Oh!

-[all gasp]
-Still a long way to go!

-[Ash] We know!
-Huh?

[Ash] Me, Litten, Lycanroc, Rowlet
and Pikachu, too.

We all still have a long way to go,

but we’re all going to work hard
and get strong!

What do you say, everybody?

[all cheering]

-Pika!
-Hear that, Litten?

You’re getting stronger right now!
Show them how serious you are!

[yells]

Litten!

[all gasp]

[grunts]

Huh?

[Masked Royal] It worked!

[roars]

-[all] Whoa!
-No way!

-Litten evolved!
-Let’s see into what!

Torracat. The Fire Cat Pokémon.

A Fire type
and the evolved form of Litten.

When Torracat spits fire,

the fiery bell at its throat
makes a high-pitched ringing sound.

That’s awesome, Torracat!

Torracat.

Nothing boring here.

Now, use Darkest Lariat!

[roars]

All right, Torracat! Use Flame Charge!

Torracat!

[hisses]

-Here we go!
-That was a Rolling Boil Charge!

Not quite. It’s Flame Charge.

Now, check this out! Once more!

-Torracat!
-That’s what I call fast!

Incineroar, catch it!

[grunts and roars]

What do you know? It dodged!

It’s so fast and keeps getting faster!

Let’s go!

-Use Darkest Lariat!
-[roars]

-Tor!
-[grunts]

[grunts]

Tor!

-You like that?
-[roars]

Hot stuff! That was hot, Ash and Torracat!

-Incineroar, use Bulk Up!
-[roars]

Now use Throat Chop!

Torracat, use Flame Charge!

[roars]

Torracat!

[grunting]

[all gasp]

[meows softly]

[all gasp]

-Hey, Torracat!
-Pika! Pika!

[Incineroar grunts softly]

-[Ash] Hang in there, Torracat!
-Roc! Roc!

[Ash] Torracat?

Torra...

You were the absolute coolest ever!

And that flame of yours,
it’s super strong now!

-Roc! Roc!
-Pika! Pika!

Excellent, Incineroar, as always.
Nothing but the best from you!

[grunts]

-[Torracat] Tor!
-[both] Huh?

[snarls and hisses]

-[snarls]
-Hm. Torracat, you're absolutely right.

From now on,
you and Incineroar are rivals!

Until the next time that we meet
in the Battle Royal Dome.

Enjoy! See you soon!

Incineroar!

[all laugh]

You’re so lucky, Ash. I wish I could’ve
met the Masked Royal, too. Right, Kukui?

Huh? Uh, um, sure!

Anything you say. [laughs nervously]

[suspicious meow]

[narrator] Litten evolved
into a magnificent Torracat,

thanks in large part to the Masked Royal’s
fiery encouragement.

But the Masked Royal’s
identity is still quite a secret,

as the journey continues!
