20x20 - Partner Promises!

Post by bunniefuu »

[narrator] Our heroes are at the largest
shopping mall on Melemele Island.

What's that? Is it candy?

It's a kind of Pokémon food
called Poké Beans.

Yeah? Poké Beans sound good!
Wonder which one Pikachu would like.

Look, Steenee! Steenee likes
these floral-patterned Poké Beans.

Steenee!

What? Floral-patterned? Updating data!

I didn't know
they had Poké Beans like that!

This Pikachu-colored one might be good.
What do you think, buddy?

-Pikachu!
-I'll take this, please!

Mallow, Lana, I'd like to look at scarves
and bandannas for Snowy.

-Sound good?
-Vul!

-Good idea.
-Then let's go!

Pop!

You know,
they're sure having a wonderful time.

I guess.

Statistics have shown
when asked if they like to go shopping,

over % of women answered they really
like it, or they at least don't mind it!

Ugh! They should ask us the same thing!

[Mallow] Glad you found something nice!

Ha! So, I guess that wraps it up,
doesn't it?

Not just yet, Sophocles.
Next, it's off to Alola Sunrise!

-Yay!
-Oh!

You're kidding!

Alola Sunrise! [gasps]
I've always wanted to go there!

Hold on. What's Alola Sunrise?

It's an accessory shop for
Melemele Island girls and super popular!

Oh, boy.

-Accessory shop?
-For Melemele Island girls.

They're made out of Heart Scales

that wash up on the beach
and Corsola branches!

They have the most amazing accessories
and everything is completely natural!

-Totally!
-Oh.

Well, I think I'm going to go home.

I want to give my Pokémon at the farm
the Pokémon food I bought for them today.

-Okay!
-Later!

[both] Ah!

I forgot to water the flowers
in my garden! See you!

[pants]

Water the flowers? That's his dad's job.

-[Rotom Dex bleeps]
-Huh?

Alolan Detective Laki starts in minutes
and seconds, give or take a few!

The DVR will record it.

That's true. But watching it live
is what a true Laki fan would do!

See you later!

Uh, you know what?
I've got something, too.

Pika?

You've got to come!
You're going to have a great time!

[giggles]

-Yeah, let's go. Pikachu, too!
-Pikachu.

All right.

♪ 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! ♪

Ah!

-Ah! It feels great!
-Pikachu.

-[manager] Beautiful.
-Huh?

It's wonderful to look
at the ocean when I'm at work.

Did you come here with your friends?
You must be close.

[chuckles]

You see? Can you make out
that little island over there?

You bet!

[manager] It's known as Treasure Island.

[Ash] Treasure Island?

I go there to find materials
to make my accessories.

I really do it for fun.
Plus I get to see a lot of wild Pokémon.

Pokémon?
I want to go to Treasure Island, too!

-What do you say?
-Pika.

You're welcome to borrow my kayak,
if you'd like.

[Ash] Kayak? Really?

Of course.
I'll lend it to you as my little gift.

-Awesome! Thanks so much!
-[Lana] Ash?

-We got some great things.
-And had such a great time!

-That's great! Wow! Good timing!
-[all] Huh?

So you'll really let me borrow
your kayak now?

Of course, dear!

Pikachu and I are going to explore
Treasure Island!

-What do you say?
-Pika, Pika!

[grunts]

[grunts]

Pikachu.

Ocean in the front. Ocean in the back!

Ocean to the right. Ocean to the left!

-[chuckles] Ocean everywhere!
-Pikachu.

[pants] Know what?
The sky's almost as blue as the ocean!

-[squawking]
-[Ash] Ah!

[gibbering]

-Hm. This's so great. It's so relaxing.
-Pika.

It almost feels like
we're the only ones on the planet.

-Weird, but awesome!
-Pika.

This is great. I'm so psyched!

All right! We're almost there!
Let's step on the gas! [grunts]

[Pikachu] Pikachu!

[Ash pants]

-Oh!
-Pika.

[both giggle]

-[grunts] We made it!
-Pikachu!

[grunts] Let's move!

-[panting]
-[laughs]

-Pika?
-Huh?

[Crabrawlers cheer]

[Ash] What's going on?

-I think they're having a boxing match!
-Pikachu.

Crabrawler!

Ah!

[cheering]

-Awesome!
-Pika!

That was an amazing punch!

-Mind if we watch?
-Pika!

[muffled grunts]

Oh! Hey! Wait!

-[Ash] Aw, man.
-[Pikachu] Pikachu.

[Cutiefly buzzes]

-Huh?
-Pika?

Cutiefly!

-Pika.
-Who's that Pokémon?

Cutiefly!

I'd find out if Rotom was here
to tell me.

Pi. Pi...

Ah... Ah... Ah...

Achoo!

Achoo!

I didn't know you could sneeze!

Someone is talking about me.

-[laughs]
-Pikachu.

Hey, maybe it thinks you're a flower,
Pikachu.

[Cutiefly buzzes]

-Let's go follow it!
-Pika!

[buzzes]

[chuckles]

[buzzing]

-[gasps]
-Pika.

[buzzing]

-[sighs and laughs]
-Pika. Pikachu.

-Huh? How cool is this?
-Pika!

-It's just like paradise!
-Pikachu!

Exeggutor! Exeggutor!

-A bunch of Exeggutor! [laughs]
-Exeggutor! Exeggutor! Exeggutor!

-Whoa! Alolan Exeggutor!
-Exeggutor! Exeggutor!

-They sure are tall!
-Pikachu!

[Exeggutors] Exeggutor!

-[Ash] Let's follow them!
-Pika!

[all] Exeggutor! Exeggutor!
Exeggutor! Exeggutor! Exeggutor!

Exe...

Gutor!

[gibbers]

Ah! Uh... Exeggutor?

Exeg... Exeg...

Exeggutor. Exeggutor. Exeggutor.

-Exeggutor.
-[Ash gasps]

[Exeggutor] Exeggutor.

-Ah!
-Pikachu.

[Ash] So, this is where they were going.

-[chuckles] Ah! Oh!
-Pika!

[laughing]

-[Ash] Oh! Whoa!
-Pi, Pi, Pi, Pika!

-Ah!
-Pika!

-Ah!
-[both laugh]

-[Ash] Thanks, Exeggutor!
-Pika!

Exeggutor. Exegg...

[yawns]

-Are you tired?
-Pikachu.

-Oh, that's right.
-Pika?

-What do you say to snack time?
-Pikachu!

Pika. Pikachu.

Pika, Pika!

-Good, huh?
-Pikachu.

I'll have one, too! Down the hatch!

Mm-mm! Been a while
since it was just the two of us.

-We've been around so many people!
-Pika.

Ever since I first met you
at Professor Oak's lab,

we've done a lot of traveling
and battling together.

Then we came to Alola.

We met Professor Kukui, Rotom,
Rowlet, Rockruff, Litten...

Kiawe, Sophocles, Mallow and Lana.

We met Lillie, Principal Oak as well.

We've met so many other people
and Pokémon, too!

-You know, I love Alola. It's great!
-Pikachu!

Everyone's so warm, like the sun!

People and Pokémon live in peace,
surrounded by nature.

-Hey, buddy?
-Pika.

See, I want to become even stronger
with you, because we're a team!

We've got island kahunas,
Island Guardians

and lots of strong trainers and Pokémon!

Pika, Pika!

They've got some amazing stuff
right here in Alola!

And it's all going to help me
to become a Pokémon Master!

Pikachu!

You get me, right, Pikachu?
I'm counting on you!

-Pika!
-Oh! [laughs]

-Oh, Pikachu, that tickles! Come on!
-Pikachu.

[laughs] Cut it out! Pikachu!

Huh?

[grunts] Huh?

-Oh, man! What are they anyway?
-Pika, Pika!

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

[Ash] It's Exeggutor!

[Exeggutor] Exeggutor.

-Ah! [grunts]
-Pi! Pika!

[grunts] What do they want with us?

Pikachu!

-[screams]
-Pika!

[gibbering]

Knock it off! No!

-Hey, that's ours! Pikachu!
-Pika!

Pikachu! Pikachu!

Pika!

-Pika, Pika!
-Way to go! Thanks!

-I've never seen those Pokémon either.
-[Pikachu] Pikachu.

[squawking]

-We'd better head back home.
-Pikachu.

[Wimpod gibbers]

-Huh? Hm? Huh?
-Pika?

[Wimpod gibbers]

Pi...

-What's that noise?
-Pi... Pikachu.

-Where is it coming from?
-[Wimpod gibbers]

Maybe this way.

[gibbering]

-Pi... Pika.
-Huh? What's up? Huh?

-Pika, Pika. Pikachu.
-[pants] In there?

Yeah, you're right!

-I hear something in there.
-Pikachu.

[gibbers]

I remember that Pokémon!

It probably got lost
and now it's stuck and can't get out.

Pika... [grunts]

Pika, Pika.

I wonder how it got in there.
We've got to get it out.

Huh?

I've got to climb that? All right.

[grunts]

[grunts and groans]

[screams]

Pika.

Oh, yeah? You can't b*at me!

[pants and grunts]

Ugh! Aaarggh!

-[groans]
-Pika.

-Hey, thanks, Pikachu.
-Pikachu.

[Wimpod gibbers]

I promise I'll get you out of there,
so don't you worry!

[pants and grunts]

-Pi, Pikachu. Pika?
-[grunts]

-Pika, Pika!
-Hey, Pikachu! Where are you going?

[screams]

[gibbers]

[groans]

Oh, man. If only Rowlet were here...

[snores]

[hoots]

It's probably asleep.

-[Exeggutor] Exeggutor.
-Huh?

-Exeggutor.
-Pikachu.

Ugh. But, Pikachu, why?

Uh, what's going on?

Exeggutor.

I see. Great idea!
You're a genius, Pikachu!

Pika, Pika!

Here's the deal.
There's a Pokémon stuck inside that rock!

Give me a lift, okay?

Exeggutor. Exegg.

-All right!
-Pikachu!

-Thanks, Exeggutor!
-Pika, Pika!

I'm coming down! You just relax, okay?

[gibbers]

I know. It's scary,
but you've got to stay calm, okay?

Pikachu.

One, two, three!

-[Wimpod squeals]
-Ah! Argh!

I scared you! I'm sorry.

-I said I'm sorry.
-[gibbers]

-Huh?
-Pika.

What do you know?
So, this is how you got in.

[Wimpod gibbers]

But the rock's in the way
and now you can't get out.

You're lucky you didn't get squished!

[grunts]

[gibbers]

-Don't worry. Hey, Pikachu! Help me out!
-Pika?

-Use your Iron Tail on that rock!
-Pika! Pika!

Pikachu! Pika!

[gibbers]

Exeg.

Oh, man, that was great!

-Now you can get out of here!
-[gibbers]

Exegg.

-[Ash chuckles]
-Exegg. Exeggutor.

Okay. You can go. I'm sure
your friends are worried about you.

-Pika, Pika.
-[gibbers]

Huh? Look at that.
They're your friends, right?

[gibbers]

-Bye! Take care!
-Pikachu!

[gibbers]

-Huh?
-Pika?

-Huh? Yeah?
-[gibbers]

-Huh?
-Pika.

[gibbers]

Pika.

-Pika?
-Huh?

-A Pokémon?
-Pikachu.

[gasps]

Lelele.

Huh?

Huh? The scratches, but how?

They're all gone.

That was great! Thanks so much!

[Kukui] It was probably Tapu Lele!

Tapu Lele? Whoa! Does the name mean
it's Tapu Koko's friend?

Correct! Meeting it is exceptionally rare!

And the Pokémon you helped is
most likely a Wimpod.

Wow. Wimpod?

Will you check them out for me?

It's my pleasure!

Tapu Lele, the Land Spirit Pokémon,

a Psychic and Fairy type.

Tapu Lele playfully flutters around while
scattering its mysterious glowing scales.

Whoever touches its scales
is instantly healed.

That's why my scratches are gone.

Wimpod, the Turn Tail Pokémon,
a Bug and Water type.

From beaches to sea beds,
Wimpod live in many places.

They eat anything, even if it's rotten.
Nature's vacuum cleaners!

You see, Tapu Lele is the Island Guardian
of Akala Island.

Meeting it was a real stroke of luck!

Yeah! I want to see it again!
Think I can?

-I suppose, if your luck holds out.
-No, I don't need luck.

I'll see it again! We'll see it again!

Pikachu!

-You guys can all meet it, too, okay?
-[all squeak]

-Pika.
-[Ash] Dig in, buddy!

Pika!

[narrator] Our heroes' trip
has given them a chance

to meet new Pokémon
and make new memories!

But only time will tell if Ash and Pikachu
will ever meet Tapu Lele again,

as the journey continues!
