20x08 - Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!

[bunniefuu]

-Pika! Pikachu! Pikachu! Pikachu!
-[happy squealing]

[squeals]

-[pants] Pika.
-[squeaks happily]

-[squeals]
-Pikachu.

[squeals]

[both squeak in fear]

[Ash grunts]

[squeals excitedly]

Once Togedemaru starts,
you can’t stop it.

Pika. Pika.

[puzzled squeak]

[squeals]

-[all] Huh?
-Pika!

-Oh!
-Lillie!

-Pika! Pika! Pikachu!
-[Togedemaru squeaks]

[Togedemaru squeals and Ash grunts]

Pika.

[all groan]

-Are you okay, Pikachu?
-Pikachu.

-[squeals]
-Pika!

-Thank you, Mallow!
-No sweat.

Sorry about that.
I'll give Togedemaru a good talking to.

-Almost forgot. Lillie can't--
-I can, too!

-[all] Huh?
-At least, theoretically, I can.

I should be able to touch them
if I put my mind to it.

But you haven't touched a Pokémon
since you arrived at school.

I know that.

Don't try to rush things.

He’s right!
Soon you’ll be touching them no problem!

-Thank you, Ash. I hope so.
-[Kukui] Everybody here?

-[all] Huh?
-[Ash] Professor Kukui!

Let’s go see the principal. We’re taking
part in Principal Oak's special class.

His special class?

[Kukui] We're all here.

Oh! You’re really going to Mantyke this!

-Huh? Where did you get those Eggs?
-Pika.

The Egg you brought me from
the Kanto region is this one here

and this Egg over here was just recently
discovered up on Mount Lanakila.

Have you analyzed them to discover
what’s in the Eggs?

I think it's much more fun to wait
until they hatch!

So, I’ll wait, which brings us to
the point. What if I cared for one Egg

-and you cared for the other one?
-Are you talking about us?

You’ll learn a lot from doing this.

It'll be a great experience
raising a Pokémon from an Egg.

And we’re all looking after it together?

That's right. You are to observe the Egg
every day and then write a report on it.

-Simple, right?
-How simple can it get, Wobbuffet?

Remember to add some Wobbaffection!
Which Egg which you all like to raise?

-How do we choose which one?
-It's so hard.

Hey, Lillie, which one
do you like the best?

Oh! Let’s see.

-I think I would choose this one.
-[Sophocles] Why?

[Lillie] The spots on it
look like flowers. It's so cute!

-You're right! It is cute!
-How sweet!

You call that a reason?

-What's it matter?
-Guess it doesn't.

-Then, it's decided!
-Wonder what Pokémon it’ll be.

Who knows?
But a strong Pokémon would be nice.

We can all play with it
after the Egg hatches, okay?

-Pow.
-Pika.

-Pow. Pow.
-Toge.

And that brings our special class to
an exhilarating close.

Be an excited Psyduck.
Go for the Golduck!

[all] Right!

[narrator] Now our heroes have
a Pokémon Egg to raise

as a special project from Principal Oak,
it's the center of attention!
Wow! It's kind of warm!

-Wow, it's kind of warm
-Yeah, you're right! It feels so alive!

-[Sophocles] Let me touch.
-Awesome.

-Hey, Lillie, you try!
-Oh, I don’t know.

I know you’re afraid, but remember
Pokémon Eggs aren't able to move.

Oh. Yeah, you’re right!

-[screams]
-[all] Huh?

-It moved.
-I saw it, too.

That means it's healthy.

-I’m sorry, Lillie.
-Don’t be! I'm fine.

I can’t help but wonder
what’s going on inside that Egg.

-Will you scan it?
-I’m not equipped with that function.

Hey. What about nighttime?

Good question!

Well, we can't leave it in the classroom.
No way.

-Somebody has to bring it home.
-That's where I come in!

-I think Lillie would be best!
-[all] Huh?

-Can she do it?
-That's the point!

The best way to learn to touch Pokémon

is to take care of the Egg
and get used to it bit by bit.

-So, what do you say?
-Oh! Well, I guess I could try.

-Of course you don’t have to.
-[whimpers]

Mm.

All right. I'll do it!

[all] Huh?

I’m a student of this Pokémon School, too,
aren’t I?

Of course! I know you can do it!

-Yeah. As long as you’re sure.
-She’s going to be just fine!

-Go for it!
-Pika.

-[Kiawe] We have faith in you.
-Great! I can do this!

Sala.

[Komala grunts and bell clangs]

-[all] Catch you later.
-[Ash] See you later.

I'm so sorry! I have to go help out at
the restaurant! Could you look after them?

You can count on me! I'll make sure
Lillie and the Egg get home.

-Pika.
-Have fun at the restaurant!

-See you tomorrow!
-[giggles] See you!

Hey, which way to get to your house?

It's a long walk,
but I have someone picking me up.

There he is now!

[driver] Greetings, Miss Lillie.
Your car awaits.

-Whoa! Would you look at that?
-Pikachu.

[Pikachu] Pikachu.

Pika.

So, how much longer?

We’re actually on the estate already.

Huh? Estate?

[Rotom Dex] It means
it's all part of Lillie's yard.

[Ash] Whoa!

I wish you a warm welcome home,
Miss Lillie.

-Thank you!
-Of course.

This is Ash, my classmate at school
and this is his partner, Pikachu.

And that’s Rotom Dex.

It's a pleasure. I am under employment
as butler for the estate

and my name is Hobbes.

-Nice to meet you!
-Pika.

Greetings, Hobbes!

I realize this may be asking a lot,

but I must request that the Pokémon,
Master Pikachu, wait within the garden.

-Huh?
-It's all right, Hobbes.

See, they all came home with me
to help me out.

I see. Very well, then.
If you’ll follow me.

[Ash] Oh. Huh?

Sala.

[Ash] What a big room!

Please forgive my mistake. Normally,
we don’t allow Pokémon in the residence.

-You know they scare me a bit.
-That's what it was about.

Instead, we built a Pokémon playground
in the garden

where I could watch them play
from a safe distance.

[Hobbes] In mere moments, you will see
wild Pokémon frolicking in the garden.

[Ash] You're kidding! I'd like to see!

Then I'd be pleased to escort you.

-All right!
-Pika. Pika.

And this is my room.

Awesome! Wow!

I think we should put
the Egg right here. Hm?

Maybe it'd be better if it were softer.

[Pikachu] Pika.

If I remember,
the book on Eggs is over here.

Let's see.

-Whoa!
-Pika.

Hm.

So, what do you think of that?

Feel good? You like it?

[Ash chuckles]

-The Egg says yeah.
-It does?

Thank goodness! I never thought
I’d be taking care of an Egg.

I'll need to do more studying to make sure
it hatches healthy and happy!

Lillie, you really love Pokémon a lot,
don't you? Huh?

-[Pikachu] Pikachu.
-Is something wrong?

That little girl holding a Pokémon,
is that you, Lillie?

Yeah.

Then you used to be okay
with touching Pokémon.

Yeah.

As a small child, Miss Lillie simply
adored being with Pokémon.

She adored playing with them all the time.

Huh? Then, what happened?

Honestly... I really don't know.

You don't know?

I’m not sure of all the facts,
but at one point in the past,

Miss Lillie resided
with her mother for a time.

It was when she returned to the estate

that I realized she was no longer able
to touch Pokémon of any kind.

I get it.

-So, those people in the picture?
-The missus and the young master.

-The missus still resides elsewhere.
-My brother doesn’t live here either.

-[maid] Excuse the intrusion.
-Huh?

I brought Roserade Tea and a few snacks.

-It’s a mountain!
-Pikachu.

[chuckles] You’re welcome
to have as much as you like!

-[Ash] Thanks! I will!
-[Pikachu] Pi. Pika.

-Pika. Pikachu.
-[munches]

-They do have hearty appetites.
-Yes. Nicely put.

-[Ash] Hey, Lillie.
-Hm?

How about doing some practicing?

-Do you mean what I think you mean?
-Yeah. Let’s practice touching Pokémon.

Oh.

[all] Who’s that Pokémon?

It’s Salandit!

[Salandit] Salandit.

-Oh!
-Don’t worry.

Pikachu isn't going to move a muscle!
Come on. Trust my buddy

-and pet Pikachu like there's no tomorrow!
-Okay. [groans]

[Lillie groans]

-Pikachu!
-[all gasp]

[screams and sobs]

Miss Lillie, no!

[sighs] I told you not to move
a muscle, remember?

-Pika?
-Okay, up next? Check it out!

[snores]

-You see? Rowlet’s sound asleep!
-Asleep. That’s a good thing.

[Rowlet trills and Lillie screams]

[hoots angrily]

-[snores]
-[all] Huh?

-Was it dreaming?
-Pikachu!

Fine! If this doesn’t work,
then nothing will! Rotom!

You can count on me!

Now, see, Lillie? This isn't a Pokémon.

-It's just a regular Pokédex!
-Regular?

Right!

It’s just a Pokédex, that's all.
Just a Pokédex.

-I am not regular!
-[Lillie yells]

I am a Rotom Dex!

Man! That didn't work either.

Well, we won't give up, right?

[sobs] Right.

Butterfree!

-Hey, it's a Butterfree!
-Pika.

Yeah! Every now and then
different wild Pokémon

-will come up to the balcony.
-Huh?

Let's see. There it is! [giggles]

Does that mean you have different food
for different Pokémon?

Sure. Pokémon have likes
and dislikes, too.

I give them the most appropriate food.

[Butterfree squeaks]

[nibbles]

[chuckles] Butterfree loves it!

Butterfree really likes
that kind of food a lot.

Yeah. It’s chowing down like crazy!

-You're amazing, Lillie!
-Thank you.

I’m sure the wild Pokémon
are in the garden by now.

Wow, you think?

-Whoa!
-Pika.

[Ash] Look at all of them!

[doorbell rings]

If it isn't Miss Mallow!

-May I come in, please?
-Do!

[grunting and gibbering]

So cool! Huh?

-You’ve got a b*ttlefield?
-We're diligent with its upkeep,

so it can be used at any time.

-Any time?
-[chuckles]

Ash loves nothing more
than a Pokémon battle.

Please, feel free to use it if you like.

All right!
We’re going to have a Pokémon battle!

-Pika!
-But who will you battle against?

-You’re right. I don’t have an opponent.
-Pika.

I think we can find somebody.

Huh? Do you mean Hobbes?

Actually, Hobbes is
one of the best battlers among the staff.

Wow, that’s perfect!
I'd love to challenge you to a battle!

Pikachu!

As you wish, young Ash.

If someone like myself shall suffice,
I will gladly battle you!

Awesome.

Well, all right!

Just make sure you don't go easy on me!

And my one request to you
is that you do the same, Master Ash!

Pikachu! Pika. Pika.

-[sighs] Sorry, buddy.
-Pika?

I wanted to give Rowlet
a little battling time.

Pika? Pika?

But the next battle’s yours!

Rowlet, I choose you!

[trills]

So, you’re going to use a Rowlet, then?

All right, that means
I’ll be using this Pokémon!

Oricorio.

-I’ve never seen that Pokémon.
-Pika.

And that's my cue!

Oricorio, Pom-Pom Style,
the Dancing Pokémon.

An Electric and Flying type.

It creates electricity by rubbing
its pom-poms together.

It dances as it approaches
its opponent before attacking.

When it drinks special nectars found
only in Alola, it can change its type.

-Change its type?
-Yes.

This Oricorio drank
the special Yellow Nectar

from a species of flower
found only here on Melemele Island.

Oricorio’s cool, all right!

Wow, Alolan Pokémon are so great!

Rowlet! It’s our first Pokémon battle,
so let’s do our best!

[trills]

Great! Rowlet, Leafage!

[grunts and trills]

Revelation Dance!

Ori. Ori. Ori.

[hoots in surprise and groans]

-Rowlet!
-Pika.

The Pom-Pom Style Oricorio’s
Revelation Dance is strong!

It uses electricity built up in
its pom-poms during its dance to att*ck.

[Rowlet groans]

-Rowlet? Can you go on?
-[trills]

-Yes! Then use Tackle!
-[warbles]

Use Mirror Move!

Ori!

-No way!
-Pika!

Rowlet was stopped! Mirror Move uses
the same move on its opponent!

And what do you plan to do next?

[grunts] Use Tackle again!

-Use Mirror Move!
-[Oricorio trills]

That’s what I thought!

Mirror the Mirror Move now!

[trilling and shrieking]

What was that?

[trills]

My stars!
I’ve never seen a Mirror Move mirrored!

-Rowlet's legs are really, really strong!
-[trills]

Hm. This young man’s quite skilled.

Very well! I shall take the initiative!

Use Revelation Dance!

Ori! Ori! Ori!

Don't let it build up electricity! Go!

[warbles]

-To the right!
-Ori! [screeches]

-Behind you!
-[hoots]

[Rowlet warbles]

Great! Rowlet, you’re the best!

Rowlet dodged it?

I must say it's been ages
since I've had such an enjoyable bout!

Thanks a lot!

Oh! I'd better check on the Egg.

As we sway like an ocean wave,
use Teeter Dance!

-Ori!
-Huh?

For some reason,
I feel like I’m going to fall over.

Pikachu.

Teeter Dance uses the teetering
to force its opponent into a dizzy state.

Oh, man. It sure does.

Whatever you do, Rowlet, don't look at it!

[yawns]

[Ash groans]

It's too late for you! Use Double Slap!

[trills]

No! Rowlet!

[groans]

[both groan]

-Mallow!
-Miss Mallow!

-[chuckles] Guess you found me.
-What about the restaurant?

Oh. I was worried about Lillie,
so I finished my chores right away

-and when I got here, I heard battling.
-Such loyalty to Miss Lillie! [sobs]

Well, you don’t have to cry.

-[Lillie screams]
-[all] Huh?

[whimpers]

No, please. Stay away.

Sala!

-[whimpers]
-Sal...

[screams]

[hisses]

You can’t have it!

Salan!

[screams] No!

Miss Lillie!

-Lillie!
-Huh? It’s Hobbes and Ash!

Salan.

-[Lillie screams]
-Who's that?

Salandit, the Toxic Lizard Pokémon,
a Poison and Fire type.

Salandit live in volcanoes and dry places.
They're dangerous Pokémon

that att*ck after releasing
a poisonous gas!

-That’s not allowed!
-Lillie!

-[squawks]
-Pikachu, use Quick att*ck!

Pika!

-Oricorio, use Teeter Dance!
-Ori. Ori.

-Rowlet, Tackle, let’s go!
-[trills]

[warbles]

Sala! [grunts]

Sala.

-[trills]
-Salan!

-Lillie, you all right?
-I’m fine.

-Mallow?
-I came by because I was kind of worried.

-But just look at you!
-Huh?

[sighs]

[squeals] The Egg!
I just wanted... to protect it!

Huh?

[gasps]

[sighs]

It's so warm.

Good for you, Lillie.

This is the most wonderful thing
I’ve ever witnessed!

-Feels great, huh?
-Yeah!

Pika. Pika.

[sobs]

It looks like Lillie
isn’t over her fear yet.

-Pika?
-But you’re able to touch the Egg.

And that's what counts! I’m happy for you.

-Thanks! I'm happy about it too!
-That's what I want to hear!

Caring for the Egg is
the perfect job for you!

-Right!
-[giggles]

[narrator] In the midst of a challenge,
Lillie has taken a big first step

in getting rid of her fear
of touching Pokémon.

Of course, everyone can’t help but wonder
what will hatch from that Egg,

as the journey continues!
