20x10 - Trial and Tribulation!

[bunniefuu]

Mm. Won’t be long now!

Pika!

[grunts] There!

-Yeah! Here’s breakfast!
-[Pikachu squeals]

Hey, careful!
I don’t want to spill it, okay?

-Pikachu! Pika.
-[Rockruff barks]

-Eat it up.
-Pika!

[both munch and sigh happily]

-Pik!
-Ruff!

-[stomach growling]
-Huh?

Guess I’m hungry, too.

[Pikachu and Rockruff munch]

Hey! Yesterday’s adventures
made the paper!

May I see it, too?

The surprising actions of a young boy
named Ash Ketchum in cooperation

with Kahuna Hala were
an eye-opening sight. He obtained the help

of the Totem Pokémon Gumshoos
and its allies by battling it in a trial

and successfully drove off
the Rattata and Raticate,

who had been causing trouble
in the city.

It is further noted that Ash will receive
a commendation certificate.

-That’s awesome!
-[doorbell dings]

Huh? I'll get it!

-Coming!
-Pika!

-Alola! Good to see you.
-Hi, Officer Jenny.

You too, Gumshoos.

Well, well, a partner? I give it
the Heart Stamp of approval.

Thanks to all your hard work,
I was able to find a very capable partner.

-Thank you so much!
-Gumshoos.

Wow, good for you, Gumshoos!
That’s really cool!

It’s obvious Gumshoos is a patient
and tenacious Stakeout Pokémon.

I estimate compatibility with
Officer Jenny to be . %.

Gumshoos.

Pikachu?

Ash, I understand you’ll be participating
in the Grand Trial today.

-Right!
-Wonderful!

I'd like to drive you to Iki Town
in my patrol car. May I?

That'd be great! I’d love to do that!

Thanks very much. You drove
a long way just to give Ash a ride.

Thanks for reminding me!
Here’s his commendation certificate!

As representative of Melemele Island,
I present this certificate from

its citizens thanking you
for your heroic work.

Here!

Mm. Ah! Thanks a lot, Officer Jenny!

Pika. Pika.

♪ I could get used to
This heat on my skin ♪

♪ I can feel every day,
I'm a little bit stronger ♪

♪ I only wish each day was longer ♪

♪ Yeah! We're having fun in the sun ♪

♪ Week after week
It's just like I'm on vacation ♪

♪ Yeah! Now our journey's begun ♪

♪ Friends till the end
Number one's our destination ♪

♪ Under the Alolan sun
Pokémon! ♪

But if you leave,
you’ll miss the Grand Trial.

Since I'm on duty, I’m afraid I must.

I know Melemele Island is peaceful,
but police work keeps me busy.

[Kukui] I think we can credit you
for that peace, officer. Take good care.

[Officer Jenny] You, too!

When will Ash and the kahuna be back?

[chuckles] It'll be over
before you know it.

[narrator] Before the Grand Trial,
Ash and Pikachu have gone

with Kahuna Hala to a pre-battle ceremony
being held at the Ruins of Conflict.

Today we will perform a Grand Trial battle
with our young challenger, Ash.

I now ask Tapu Koko, guardian of conflict,

to bestow upon us the power of Alola
of all the islands.

Please, Tapu Koko. This will be
my Grand Trial with Kahuna Hala,

so I want you to watch it!

[bushes rustling]

[groans]

[groans]

-Mm. [chuckles]
-Huh?

You can move now, Ash.

[sighs]

So, tell me, Kahuna Hala, do you think
Tapu Koko heard us?

I would say there’s a good possibility
Tapu Koko heard us.

But as island guardians go,
Tapu Koko follows its own path.

[Tapu Koko hoots]

[gasps]

-Pika?
-Ay?

[exhales]

All right, Ash, one thing
before your Grand Trial begins.

Do you know the correct poses
for the Normal-type Z-Move?

I sure do!
We've practiced till it's second nature.

-Right, Pikachu?
-Pika! Pika!

Yes. He’s correct.

Well done. Way to Lock-On
and master your Z-Move!

-And I can't wait to use it!
-When you use a Z-Move,

you and your Pokémon
expend a large amount of energy.

So with the way you, Pikachu
and Rowlet are now,

your Z-Move should be quite tiring.

The important thing is when I use it.

-Is that right?
-Exactly, Ash.

We are ready to go, Hala!

As are we, Professor.

Attention, competitors!

The Grand Trial between Kahuna Hala
and the challenger Ash Ketchum

is now prepared to get under way!

[both] It’s truly an honor to battle you!

Ready to go, Rowlet? I choose you!

It'll be asleep. Just watch.

[hoots]

I’ve never seen Rowlet appear awake!

Crabrawler, come out!

Crabrawl! Crab! Crab!

-A Crabrawler? Rotom?
-My greatest pleasure!

Crabrawler. The Boxing Pokémon.
A Fighting type.

Crabrawler is always aiming
to be number one.

Crabrawler guards its weak
spots with its claws in battle

and throw punches
looking for an opening.

Since Rowlet is a Flying type,
it's a good match for us!

Great!

Crabrawler, use Bubble Beam!

Crabrawler!

Rowlet, dodge it! Then use Peck!

[hoots]

[hooting intensely]

[both groan]

-All right!
-That was super effective!

-Pika!
-Great job, Rowlet!

-Use Peck one more time!
-[hoots]

-Grab Rowlet!
-[hoots]

[hoots in pain]

Now, use Brutal Swing!

-Crab!
-[hoots]

[grunting and hooting]

-Rowlet!
-[hoots]

Crabrawler, Power-Up Punch!

Crab! Crab!

Crabrawler!

[hoots]

Oh!

Crabrawler’s att*ck power went way up!

Pika! Pika!

Hala’s Crabrawler’s tough as ever.
All that power is something to see!

Rawl! Crab! Crab! Crab! Crab!

[hoots]

[trills happily]

[sighs] Rowlet's totally into this battle!

Then use Leafage! Let’s go!

[hoots]

[hoots intensely]

Use Bubble Beam!

Crabrawler!

Crab! Crab! Crab!

Huh? Oh!

[chuckles]

-The Leafage was totally neutralized!
-Pika.

Uh, that one's strong!

I think you know by now that my Pokémon

are trained far beyond what
you’re used to, Ash!

[thinks] Kahuna Hala isn't exaggerating.
If anything he's being modest!

-[hoots]
-Oh!

Stop. You shouldn't scare me like that!

You’re always showing up that way
and I don’t have a clue. Oh!

Okay, Rowlet, use Leafage one more time,

but you'll scare Crabrawler
when you do it!

[hoots]

The same att*ck again? Very well!

Crabrawler, Bubble Beam!

Crabrawler!

-Crabrawl!
-[hoots]

-Now, use Peck!
-Crab?

-[groans]
-Use lots of Pecks!

Crabrawler, dodge it now!

[hoots intensely]

[groans]

[gasps]

-Now that’s effective!
-Yes!

Use your claws to guard!

[hoots intensely]

Rawl!

-Use Power-Up Punch!
-Rowlet, dodge it!

-[hoots]
-Crab! Crabrawl!

Crabrawler, grab Rowlet
and use Brutal Swing!

Be careful, Rowlet! Tackle, let’s go!

[groans]

[both groan]

[groans]

Crabrawler is unable to battle!

You battled valiantly.

-[hoots]
-Rowlet, you were great!

-You were really strong!
-[hoots happily]

Pika! Pika!

A come from behind win. Wow!

[hoots]

[snores]

Huh? Oh! It's flying in its sleep!

Uh...

All right, Hariyama,
the next battle is yours.

Hari!

Rowlet, wake up! You're battling!

-Pika!
-Snap out of it, Rowlet!

[snores and sighs]

-[grunts] Please wake up.
-[snores]

-It’s not over!
-Pikachu!

[snores]

I suppose it’s exhausted
from how hard it battled.

Mm. [sighs]

Rowlet, you really did an awesome job.

-But we can take it from here!
-Pika!

[Rotom Dex] Hariyama,
the Arm Thrust Pokémon, a Fighting type.

Hariyama’s impressive bulk is
actually all muscle.

When its muscles are flexed,
they are hard as a rock.

It is said that a hit from a Hariyama
can send a ten-ton truck flying.

[gasps] Ten-ton truck?

Exactly. In other words,
a truck that weighs more

-than , Pikachu!
-Pika?

-I’m counting on you, buddy!
-Pi! Pi!

-I choose you!
-Pika! Pika!

Hari!

-Pikachu, Iron Tail, go!
-Pikachu!

-Use Fake Out!
-Pika!

[grunts] Pika! Uh!

-Hariyama, use Knock Off!
-Hari!

-Pika!
-Hariyama!

Oh no, Pikachu!

[all] Who’s that Pokémon?

It’s Crabrawler!

[Crabrawler] Crabrawler!

Pika...

I can’t believe what I just saw.

Using Fake Out in such
an unexpected manner!

You’re right. From Fake Out to Knock Off,
that was an amazing combination.

[groans]

Pikachu, let's get 'em back!

-Electro Ball!
-Pika!

Pika! Pika! Pika! Pi!

-Quick, Hariyama! Use Arm Thrust!
-Hari! [grunts]

-[gasps]
-Even Electro Ball didn’t do a thing!

-Now, keep using Arm Thrust!
-[grunts] Hariyama!

-[groans]
-Hariyama! Hari!

[thinks] Considering how big Hariyama is
with those Arm Thrusts,

Pikachu must be taking a lot of damage.
How will Ash deal with this?

[grunts]

-Hariyama! Hariyama! Hari!
-Pika! Pika!

-[grunts] Hari...
-Pikachu, dodge that att*ck!

-...yama
-Pika!

Pikachu slipped by Hariyama!

-All right, Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!
-Pi! Pika!

Pikachu!

Hari?

[gasps] A direct hit! Wow!

-Pika!
-Hariyama!

Pika...

What? Pikachu’s Thunderbolt
didn’t do a thing!

Pika.

All I have left is that Z-Move...
with one chance to use it!

-Hariyama, use Belly Drum!
-Hari!

[gasps]

Belly Drum maximizes an att*ck,
but at the cost of its own stamina.

Kahuna Hala’s showing no mercy.

Full-throttle all the time.
One thing’s for sure,

some things will never change
and Hala won’t either!

Here we go. Do it!

Is that a Z-Move?

Correct. I am the kahuna!

I make the wills of myself, Melemele
and Tapu Koko as one!

I am the kahuna!

[grunts and roars]

This is the moment where
our strengths combine into one!

Here it comes.

Pikachu, use quick att*ck!
Dodge that Z-move!

Pika! [pants]

-All Out Pummeling, let’s go!
-Hari!

Hari!

-[pants]
-[Hariyama grunts]

[Pikachu screams]

[gasps]

[groans] Pika...

-[groans]
-Pikachu, no!

-Are you all right?
-[groans] Pikachu!

[sighs]

That was well played.

[bushes rustle]

I should have expected it with
Tapu Koko taking an interest in you.

[grunts]

-All I can do is try!
-Pika!

-Pikachu! Quick att*ck, one more time!
-Pika!

[pants]

Circle around and around Hariyama!

-[Pikachu pants]
-Hariyama?

Hari?

-Yeah! Now, time to use Iron Tail!
-Pika! Pika!

Hariyama!

-No, Hariyama!
-Hariyama took damage from that!

I guess it took a combination
to fight a combination!

-Great job, Pikachu!
-Pika!

Yeah! Now it's our turn!

Pika! Pika!

It’s happening.
Pikachu and I are becoming one

and that’s making us stronger
than either one of us!

Pika! Pika! Pika! Pika!

[gasps] They’re shining
so brightly, it's blinding!

[grunts] Here we go! Full power now!

-Pika!
-Breakneck Blitz, go!

[grunts] Pika! Pika!

-Hariyama!
-Pika!

[grunts]

-[pants] Pika!
-That was awesome, Pikachu!

-We used a Z-Move!
-Pikachu!

[pants] Oh.

[groans] Hari...

Melemele Kahuna Hala's Hariyama
is unable to battle, which means

the winner of this Melemele Island Grand
Trial is the challenger, Ash Ketchum!

-Yeah!
-Pika! Pika!

-Yes!
-Pika!

Ash wins the trial! Hooray!

Thank you, Hariyama.
You were very brave indeed.

[Ash] Kahuna Hala!

I thoroughly enjoyed our splendid battle,
young Ash.

You and Rowlet and Pikachu
gave it everything you had.

-Thank you very much, sir!
-Pikachu! Pikachu!

As far as the Z-Move, it overflowed
with the joy of accomplishment.

I marveled at feeling your youthful,
yet experienced aura.

[chuckles]

So, as the Melemele Island Kahuna,

I hereby proclaim that Ash Ketchum
has passed the Grand Trial!

-[chuckles]
-Congratulations, Ash.

Looks like we'll be celebrating tonight!

-All right!
-Pika!

Good for you,
but please don't forget to take this.

-What’s that?
-This is your Fightinium Z.

With this Z-Crystal, you’ll be able
to use the Fighting-type Z-Move.

Awesome! Thank you!

[Tapu Koko hoots]

[all] Huh?

Could that have been Tapu Koko?

It was so fast I couldn’t gather any data.

It can't be!

That's an Electrium Z? That looks
just like the one I got from Tapu Koko!

-Pika?
-[laughs]

-Kahuna?
-Fascinating!

In all of my experience,
this is the first time

Tapu Koko has taken
so much interest in a challenger.

Uh...

Eventually, I’ll learn why.

For now, I believe that
this Electrium Z belongs to you.

Take this Z-Crystal
and use it with wisdom!

I will!

-[sighs]
-Pika.

The Z-Crystal’s all mine!

-An Electrium Z!
-Pika! Pika!

[gasps] Ash’s second Z-Crystal!
An Electrium Z!

-Professor Kukui?
-Hala?

Would it be all right
if I host the celebration?

I’m pleased Ash has passed
his first Grand Trial.

It would give me pleasure
to throw a party for him!

-[chuckles]
-Of course you may!

What an honor!
I can’t thank you enough.

Since it’s decided,
I must get started with preparations.

-Kahuna Hala?
-What would you like?

Can my friends from
the Pokémon School come, too?

Without them, I wouldn’t have gotten
a Z-Crystal. So would that be all right?

A very good idea.
Yes, invite them all right away!

[chuckles]

[narrator] And so, as he begins
his island challenge, Ash has turned in

excellent victories in the preliminary
trials and the Grand Trial.

As if that weren’t enough, he and Pikachu
have learned their second Z-Move.

[chuckles]

Tapu Koko, thank you for looking
out for me in the Grand Trial.

[chuckles] I’m going to work
really hard and next time,

I'll show you how well
I can use Gigavolt Havoc.

Come back!
Let’s have another battle, okay?

Pika! Pika!

[chuckles]

[narrator] As the journey continues...
