21x03 - Sparking Confusion!

[bunniefuu]

[Lillie] Nebby has
some fascinating skills.

One skill is using Teleport.

As a result, we've been teleported
to some very unusual places,

reflecting what we were
thinking at the time!

When Team Rocket
tried to catch Nebby,

we were all teleported
up to the school rooftop.

It was pretty scary,
but it all worked out.

The happy truth is every day
is an adventure

and I’m really looking forward
to what comes next.

-Ah! Everybody, I can see it now!
-[girls gasp]

-Awesome!
-Pika.

There it is! Aether Paradise!

-[all] Wow!
-[chuckling]

-Pika.
-Mm. Wow, it's gigantic!

[Faba] Welcome to you, one and all!

Yes, welcome!

Hey, it's Wicke and Faba, too!

Thank you so much for coming
out here to meet and greet us.

We’re excited to see you again
and meet all of your friends!

It must be nice to be back
after so long, Little Miss Lillie.

I’d appreciate if you wouldn’t refer to me
as Little Miss Lillie!

[laughs] But you’ll always be
a darling little miss to me.

-Do you know where my mother is?
-Of course!

She’s in her living quarters awaiting you.

What? The reason I brought everybody
is because she invited us

to see all the work you do!

I'm afraid your mother's work
leaves little time off.

By the way, my little miss, might you
have brought Nebby here with you?

Nebby's right here.

-[Nebby sighs]
-Oh! Oh-ho-ho-ho!

-[Faba giggles]
-Huh?

-[Rowlet hoots]
-[grunts angrily]

[Ash yells]

-Grr! What was that for?
-That wasn’t nice!

I do beg your forgiveness. Thank you.

-Ash, I’m so sorry!
-Everything’s okay.

So, Little Miss Lillie.
Shall we proceed to the residence?

Wait. I thought you were going to give us
a tour of Aether Paradise.

There will be plenty of time
after you visit your mother.

Now, if you please.

Follow me. This way.

-[Jessie] We bid you welcome.
-Aether Paradise awaits.

Almost there.

I love surprise guests! [chuckles]
There’s nothing quite as satisfying

as having school Twerps
fall into our gloved hands.

Talk about unexpected...

[Team Rocket] Get 'em while they’re hot!
Our Bewear Brand Honey Malasadas!

Wobba! Wobba!

[Wingull] Gull! Gull! Wingull! Gull!

-Nothing. Not a single customer.
-Is that tally correct?

We must have had one.
We’re a malasada short.

Which is simply because I ate
the missing one myself.

Excuse me! Perhaps you’d like
to work at something less exhausting.

I mean, you, talking Meowth!

Oh, yeah?

[James] That's how we all became
that geezer’s employees.

But on an unexpected note...

This turned out to be a super-sweet gig!

Honey sweet.

As if stealing some
of the Paradise’s Pokémon isn’t enough.

[James] In plops Pikachu
and that ridiculously-rare Protokoffing!

If we can bag 'em
and bring 'em to the Boss,

we’ll be back on top of his A-list!

Now for a short stroll outside.

[all gasp]

Who knew it was so big?

Lillie, that’s your mother's house?

She only uses it for work.

[all groan]

It gets bigger
every time I see that place.

[both] Mm-hm.

Come on! Lusamine’s waiting inside.

[all gasp]

Excuse me! The children are here!

Huh?

-It’s so good to see you all!
-[phone rings]

Thank you so much for making
the long journey to get here.

I’m so sorry about this. Please excuse me.

Yes! What is it?

Oh, of course.

-Please, forgive the late response.
-[all] It’s nice to be here, Lusamine.

[sighs]

Here you go. Be our guests!

-[all giggle]
-Looks so good!

[both] Thank you!

[all] It all looks delicious!

[all chomp and trill]

Don't forget, there's more
where that came from!

-Excuse me.
-[barks]

No. No problem at all.
Now, where were we? Yes.

Yes. Yes, of course!
No, thank you. Thank you very much!

[Faba] Hey! Don't just stand there!
Beverages for everyone!

[all] Oh! Right away, sir!

-[Meowth groans]
-Looks delish! Thank you!

I’d rather watch paint dry
than serve a dumb Twerp.

-Did you say fries?
-Oh!

[laughs]

Yes!
It’s a joy to provide fresh refreshments!

[trills and chomps]

Nebby, stop! If you eat too many sweets,
you'll get a tummy ache!

-[Nebby whimpers]
-What do you know?

So, star candy is its favorite, eh?

There! All done!

Tell me, Lillie, about your schoolwork.
Are you managing to keep up?

[chokes and coughs]

What? You don’t think that I’m capable
of keeping up?

It was just a thought. Having you here
to catch up with while I work

sure makes my job a lot easier, hon.

-Snowy, don’t you think?
-[Snowy trills]

Don't tell me this is the only reason
you invited everyone to Aether Paradise!

At least, I thought somebody
would give us a tour!

We will! I just thought we could have
a nice mother-daughter chitchat first.

[phones ring]

-Wait. This one? Oh!
-Forget it!

I’ll give you the tour myself!

Huh? But I didn't get any chocolate cake.

Right. Whatever you say.

Everybody follow me!

-Without cake.
-It was really yummy!

Pikachu!

-[Nebby burbles]
-Wait for me, Nebby. I’m coming!

Oops! I mean, wait for me, Little Miss!

[both groan]

I’ll show them the Pokémon
conservation area, okay?

[sighs] Of course, I do.
I know just what you're talking about.

Mother makes me so mad.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

It's fine! What’s not a good idea
is waiting for my mother

-to get off that silly phone of hers!
-What a bore.

-The joys of family.
-The trials of mothers and daughters.

And here we are. This is the pride
of the Aether Foundation,

the Pokémon conservation area!

[gasps]

-Pika!
-Awesome! Check it out!

[all] Whoa!

Qwilfish!

-It feels like we’re outdoors.
-It’s hard to believe that we’re inside.

Even Charizard would have room to fly!

-[gasps] Look at that!
-Huh?

[giggling and gibbering]

-That's the cutest thing!
-Pop!

What, Popplio? Did you see something?

-Huh? What's that?
-Toge.

[grunts]

-[both scream]
-Scary!

That's not the nicest greeting
I’ve ever received.

-Huh?
-Professor Burnet! Hi!

Ash, do you actually know her?

Of course! Alola, Ash!

Professor Burnet has been generous enough
to help mother out with her research.

So, I’d like you to meet my friends
who go to the Pokémon School with me.

[all] Alola!

Alola! I’d like all of you to meet
my partner, Munchlax.

Munchlax! Munchlax!

-Pika.
-Toge. Toge. Toge.

So, what kind of research
are you working on today?

I’m seeing if this habitat is
a sound place for Pokémon to live.

That involves lots of diving.

-Although, there is no reason to dive.
-Oh, yes.

I think mixing my hobbies
with productive work is good for everyone.

Oh, I think it's just wonderful!

[grunts]

[buzzing]

[Burnet] Aether Paradise is
a manmade island created

for the purpose of protecting Pokémon.

[Wicke] We take Pokémon in when they’re
injured or separated from their friends.

We take in Pokémon from all regions.

When they recover,
we release them into the wild!

[all gasp]

[all] No time like the present.

[grunts angrily]

Look over there.

-Hey, those are Ditto!
-I think I've heard of them before!

That’s my cue! Ditto.
The Transform Pokémon. A normal type.

Ditto can rearrange their body cells
to change into other lifeforms.

Great, Rotom, thanks!

I’ve never seen one in person.

They’re incredible!

If they were to transform,

there's no way we would be able to tell
these Ditto from the other Pokémon.

That's why we keep them
in a separate room.

-Wait. Should you be opening the door?
-It's time for their vaccinations.

-How would you all like to help me out?
-[all] Of course!

-[Wicke gasps]
-[Faba grunts]

They're so calm!

[gasps]

Now, you might feel a little pinch.

-Ready?
-[whimpers]

-There.
-[whimpers]

-There. Good!
-[whimpers]

-Next.
-[whimpers]

And you're the last one today.

-[whimpers]
-Huh?

[ghostly wail]

-[squeals]
-[grunts]

[Faba grunts and groans]

We’ve got a Ditto on the loose!

[all] Who’s that Pokémon?

[all] It’s Ditto!

[Ditto gibbers] Ditto!

[all grunt]
Labor mode. This is some load!

-[grunts]
-Why pull this pile? What’s it for?

How is this helping us
to catch Protokoffing?

How? The answer’s a bit smelly.

It’s a lot smelly, dude!

[all] Our noses are going to fall off!

Protokoffing and Weezing are attracted to
the smell of garbage!

-This is what we have to do!
-[all] What a rotten deal!

Hold it right there!
Have you seen a Ditto?

What is that awful smell?

Oh, that. It's garbage!

Very astute observation.

We were hot on the garbage dump trail,
but lost the scent.

[both laugh]

-[pants] Did you see it?
-I got nothing. Not a trace.

-What about you?
-I’m afraid not!

I’m sorry. If only I had caught it
back there when I had the chance!

Lillie, it’s not your fault!

This only happened because
that Ditto hates vaccinations.

-I can't say I’m too fond of them myself.
-Uh-huh.

-Me either 'cause they hurt.
-You see?

Thank you.

Don't worry!
We'll all just split up and find it!

I wonder if it's already transformed
into some other Pokémon.

They have amazing powers
of transformation!

It’s difficult to tell them
from the real thing!

-[all gasp]
-What's wrong with all of you?

[screams]

Did somebody put some sort
of mirror way up there or something?

I’m not aware of any mirrors up there.

-No mirrors? Then, that must be...
-Ditto! Dito!

[gibbers happily]

I can’t believe it transformed into me!

Oh! Come back!

-[sighs] Where’s that Ditto?
-It disappeared!

-Steene!
-[Mallow and Ash gasp]

[Kiawe] Did you find it?

That Exeggcute,
there's something strange about it.

But I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Wait a sec.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven?

Hey, that’s the only Exeggcute
with an extra egg!

-Hm!
-Ditto.

Ditto! [gibbers]

-Nothing.
-I know it came this way. Huh?

-Look at that one there!
-Jiggly.

[all gasp]

Ditto!

It looks like even when a Ditto
transforms, its eyes give it away.

He’s right! We have to look for
a Pokémon with eyes that look like dots!

Right!
Now, there’s no doubt we’ll find it!

[both pant]

-They’re Quagsire!
-Something's wrong.

[pants] Ditto’s one of them!

Look for the one with dots for eyes.
That'll be Ditto for sure!

But there’s just one tiny thing.

-All Quagsire have dots for eyes.
-That's not going to help!

Those dopes are running all over.
At this rate, we won’t even catch a cold!

Wobba. Wobba. Wobba.

I suggest we just relax
until the Twerps find a place to collapse.

-[munches]
-What are you eating?

Jealous, are we?
I grabbed a few from the kitchen.

[all gasp]

Protokoffing!

-[all yell]
-Hey! Where'd it go? Where'd it go?

Psy. Psy.

Now we’ve got you!

[groans] Psy. Psy.

[all gasp and scream]

[grunts and laughs]

Oh, no! Snowy, are you all right?

-[yelps]
-Oh!

[all gasp]

Huh? Wait, why wouldn't I be able
to touch Snowy?

-[squeals happily]
-Huh?

-Snowy?
-[squeals happily]

Hold on. Then this one is...

[meows]

[grunts] Ha! Gotcha!

-[Lillie] Ash, that was amazing!
-[burbles]

[munches]

-It'll be over soon.
-[squeals]

You see? That was fast!

All done. Now, stay put!

Thank goodness.

It's only because you reacted so quickly.

I'm glad I was able to help out
a little bit!

Thank you. You were all a really big help!

-We couldn’t have done it without you!
-[all giggle]

That reminds me. Just yesterday,

two Comfey were taking a nap side by side
and they got tangled up. It was awful!

Sounds like a challenge.

Plus, a Pikipek mistook a Sudowoodo
for a tree and caused a real uproar!

Working with Pokémon every day,
there’s always something new.

-Uh-huh. [chuckles]
-Oh, wow. Must be hard.

Even so, we want to help them
even in an untamed state

and return them to the wild.
That's why we’re here,

why Lillie’s mom tirelessly
leads the Aether Foundation.

That’s so awesome! Your mom is so amazing!
Wow, Lillie. She’s the best!

Well, I guess maybe you’re right.

-[Lusamine] Lillie?
-Uh?

-Hello?
-Hi, Mother!

Are you all right? I received
a report that a Ditto got loose.

Uh! You’re late!
We worked together and got it back!

Everything’s fine now!

Lillie, I think that's wonderful!
Good for you, sweetheart!

You’re amazing.
That's my cute little baby girl!

Do you have to do this
with everyone watching?

-[phone rings]
-Hm.

Yes, this is Lusamine.

Oh, that? Hm? What do we think?

The Aether Foundation strongly
agrees with your position...

Well!

-Uh?
-[all laugh]

-[giggles]
-Snow.

I can't say I approve of Little
Miss Lillie being able to touch Pokémon.

If this pattern leads her to recall
memories of that time,

it would be a problem.

[burbles and giggles]

Aw, this is getting ridiculous!

Where could
that confounded Protokoffing be?

You know what?
I think we’re walking in circles.

So we are.

Huh? That door’s open!

But it was previously closed, wasn’t it?

[Jessie] Protokoffing? Yoo-hoo?

Show your rare face.

[Jessie] What?
It's like some sort of laboratory.

Let’s take a peek. [grunts]

What’s this? [mumbles]

Experimentation with Pokémon?

Hm. [chomps]

Let’s see.

"Type: Null’s anti-Ultra Beast powers
are..."

Anti-Ultra Beast?

My whiskers are tingling. Uh-oh.
This isn't good.

I got a feeling this is information
we shouldn't be looking at.

Wobbuffet. Wobba.

[burbles and giggles]

Huh? Huh?

-[Jessie and James] Huh?
-[burbles]

[both] It’s Protokoffing!

[both grunt and groan]

-Yeah! Got you!
-[burbles]

-[groans]
-[burbles]

[both grunt]

-[Faba] You!
-[both] Huh?

What do you think you’re doing
in my research laboratory?

Your laboratory?
No, no, no! We were on a walk!

-Nothing more!
-Nothing more!

We were doing so little, it's just as if
we were doing nothing at all!

-Hm.
-[burbles]

[both] Look!

[burbles]

[chuckles] I guess it was nothing.

After all, there’s nothing there to see,
is there?

Only the glasses on your wise face.

We were seeing so little, it's just as if
we were seeing nothing at all!

[Team Rocket laugh]

[all laughing]
