Post by bunniefuu »

Okay, give it all you’ve got!
You ready? Let’s go! [gasps]

[Litten grunts]

-[Rockruff growls]
-Pika!

Litten’s temperature is rising fast!

Get ready to take
whatever Litten dishes out.

-Turtonator.
-You’re doing great.

-Go!
-Litten!

-[Ash] Use Fire Fang!
-Litten!

[meows]

-[Litten meows and grunts]
-[Rotom Dex] So close.

-Pika-pika.
-[Rowlet trills and Rockruff barks]

You almost got it, you know that?

[meows]

Kiawe and the g*ng can help you
make your moves great.

All things Fire type, leave it to me!

-Turtonator!
-Char!

-Okay, let’s try that again!
-[meows]

[narrator] Now that Litten has become
a member of Ash’s Pokémon family,

everyone’s pitching in to help Ash
and Litten perfect Litten’s Fire Fang!

However...

[Rockruff barks]

-Pi?
-[Rockruff barks]

-Pika?
-[puzzled whine]

Pikachu!

-[Rockruff pants and barks]
-Pika-pika!

-[barks]
-Pika.

-[Ash] Okay, Litten, watch closely!
-[meows]

Turtonator, use Flamethrower!

Turton...

You need to breathe deeply,
like Turtonator does.

[Turtonator grunts]

Do that, and your internal firepower
will get stronger!

Okay, Litten, why not give it a try?

[meows and hisses]

[Litten meows]

-Yeah, looking good!
-Now, att*ck!

Nator!

[meows] Litten!

[gasps and groans]

[meows sadly]

-[Rowlet trills]
-Turtonator!

[Charizard grunts]

Pretty good. Yup! You’ll get it next time.

-Pika-pika!
-[Rockruff barks]

-Pikachu!
-[barks]

What are they up to?

I think they’re playing.

-Wait a sec! That shovel...
-Pika. Pika.

-[Rockruff pants and whines]
-[hisses]

-[barks]
-[all] Huh?

[Ash and Kiawe gasp]

-[Kiawe] It’s a Sandygast!
-Pika-pika!

-A Sandygast?
-If you’ll just allow me.

Sandygast, the Sand Heap Pokémon,
a Ghost and Ground type.

Sandygast can control people
or Pokémon if they touch its shovel.

-Control?
-That’s right. Watch out for it.

It happens to be the most dangerous
Pokémon at the beach.

My grandfather told me
that when I was little.

He’d say: "Be careful around a shovel
that looks like it’s stuck in the sand.

Something terrible could happen
if you touch it." But...

You see? It’s not scary!

[all] What’s wrong?

[boy] Kiawe?

-What’s going on?
-What are you doing?

[boy grunt and yell]

[Kiawe] Apparently I was gathering
sand until the next morning.

-[nervous laugh] But it’s just sand.
-[Rowlet chirps]

-[barks]
-Pika!

-Look out!
-Rockruff!

-Use Rock Throw!
-[barks]

[barks]

[Rockruff howls and Sandygast squeals]

Sandy! Sandy... [grunts] Gast!

-Pikachu!
-Sandygast. Sandygast!

[all gasp]

[Sandygast grunts and pants]

-[Ash] It’s really mad!
-[Kiawe] Because it lost its shovel!

[Ash] It got knocked into
the ocean, right?

-Pika!
-[whines]

Let’s go and look for it!

Wait, Kiawe! I think that the shovel
can be replaced with something else.

But even if that’s true,
the shovel’s what it wants. [gasps]

-[Rotom Dex] Huh?
-I have got an idea.

-What? No, no, no! What are you doing?
-[Kiawe] Ash, are you serious?

-Just be a shovel for a bit.
-A shovel? You’re kidding!

-Relax! It’ll just be for a little while.
-[Rotom Dex] Wait! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

-Pika...
-[puzzled bark]

[Rotom Dex] How embarrassing.

-That's going to work perfectly!
-[Sandygast grunts]

-[Sandygast screams]
-Ah!

Now what?

-Pika!
-[Litten and Rowlett gasps]

-[Rotom Dex] What’s going on?
-Sandygast! Sandy! Sandygast!

Sandy! [grunts]

Palossand!

It looks different now.

-[meows]
-Pikachu!

-[Rotom Dex] Hey, let me go!
-[roars]

-[Ash gasps]
-[Palossand growls]

What's happening?

Palossand!

Everyone, get back!

-[barks]
-[meows]

[trills]

-Tur! Tur!
-[pants]

-[Kiawe] Ash!
-[Ash] Rotom!

[Ash] That’s enough! Get away!

[Rotom Dex grunts] I’m stuck!

You’re what?

-[roars]
-Ash, look out!

Pika!

[grunting and groaning]

[gasps] Huh?

[Kiawe] Ash!

-You okay?
-Pikachu?

[laughs] I’m fine!

[Rowlet hoots]

-Hey, Rowlet!
-[Palossand growls]

Is this a Pokémon?
Or is it something else?

[Rotom Dex] It’s the evolved form
of Sandygast! It’s a Palossand!

[Ash] A Palossand?

[Rotom Dex] The Sand Castle Pokémon,
a Ghost and Ground type.

It is said the shovel on Palossand’s head
functions as a radar.

So I’m inside Palossand’s body?

[grunts and gasps]

What’s up with this thing?

Pikachu!

Stop it, Pikachu, or I’ll get zapped
and I won’t be able to move!

Pika?

[Ash] Okay! [pants]

[grunts and groans]

[pants]

Ash, are you having trouble
getting out of there?

I slip back down
because of the sand!

We’ve got to find that shovel and fast!

Of course. Though the shovel’s gone
because of what he did.

Palossand!

-Huh? What’s that?
-Huh?

Palossand!

[both] Huh?

-[meows]
-Pika.

[barks]

[barks]

-[roars]
-Rockruff! That’s dangerous!

[whines]

-[hoots]
-Sand!

[Rockruff barks and Rowlet hoots]

-[Rowlet trills]
-[roars]

Litten! Huh?

Litten! [grunts] Litten, are you okay?

[meows]

Litten?

Hey, I feel strange.

What’s going on, Rotom?

Kiawe! Is that a Pokémon?

It’s a Palossand!
It grew large from being angry.

Now Ash and Litten are trapped inside!

-[all gasp]
-And Rotom’s stuck on top!

-Pika!
-[squealing]

-[Mallow] Ash, can you hear me?
-[Lillie] Are you two okay?

[Ash] Guys! Something’s wrong with Litten!

[all gasp]

Ash, something’s wrong with Rotom, too!

-[gasps]
-Somebody help me! Help!

Poor Rotom! What’s going on?

-[Sophocles] I don’t have a clue.
-Anybody!

[Lillie] I read about this! Palossand is
most likely absorbing as much of Rotom

and Litten’s energy as it can
in order to maintain its massive size!

[Rotom Dex] I feel so strange.

-Get me down from here! Help!
-[roars]

[all] Who’s that Pokémon?

It’s Sandygast!

[Sandygast] Sandygast!

[roars]

Palossand is so big,
it can even swallow a house!

It can't escape
until we can help all of them!

-Let me. Water melts sand.
-Huh?

-Popplio, use Bubble Beam!
-Pop! Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop!

[grunts]

That’s super effective!

-Pop! Pop!
-I think Palossand got tougher.

Please stop that! Water-type moves
will make it even tougher!

This is serious!

[grunts] Palossand!

Get out of here, quick!

[all yell]

Palossand’s looking for the shovel
that should be on its head!

-Shovel?
-Right, but it got knocked into the ocean!

Uh! We can’t search the whole ocean!

Hold on. Popplio can find it!

But if it touches the shovel,
Palossand will control it.

Then Popplio’s lost!

But it can make a balloon.

Of course! That’s it!
It can wrap the shovel in a balloon!

-That’s right.
-Pika-pika!

-Pop! Pop!
-Pikachu!

What’s going on, Pikachu?

Pop! Pop! [squeals]

-[all gasp]
-Good luck!

They’re off on a shovel search!
So exciting!

Great, buddy!
I know you’ll find that shovel!

You’ve got to hold on, Litten!

[Palossand grunts]

-If Water-type moves aren’t effective...
-Maybe Snowy’s Ice-type moves will be.

[squeals happily]

Huh? You’ll do it?

Here we go. We’ll freeze Palossand using
Powder Snow and stop it in its tracks!

-[barks]
-Vul!

[all gasp]

All right!
We’ll attract Palossand’s attention.

Then Snowy can use
Powder Snow unnoticed!

Right! It’s just Rotom, Ash
and Litten are going to get hit as well.

Don't worry about us!
Give it everything you’ve got! Yeah!

[Rotom Dex] I’ll be fine, fine, fine, too,
so don’t hold back!

This reminds me of the plot
in episode seven of Alolan Detective Laki.

[stutters] One of the many gems
from Season Three!

[Laki shivers]

[thinks] I’m right, the culprit will
appear at this mountain cottage!

[shivers]

And since people rarely ever come here,

there’s no chance
that I could be wrong! No way!

[shivers]

If Laki can go through all that,
I can certainly go through this!

I think Rotom’s enjoying it.
What do you know?

-Now, Snowy, go!
-Vul!

Charizard! Turtonator!

-Turto.
-You’re up!

Sophocles and I are going
to back up Snowy!

-Okay! Count on me!
-Toge!

Pika!

-Shellder!
-[Popplio whimpers]

-Everyone, att*ck!
-[trilling and barking]

Turto!

Turtonator!

Char!

[groans]

[howls]

[hoots]

[grunts and groans]

-[roars]
-Turtonator!

-Okay, Lillie, now!
-Got it!

-It’s time, Snowy! Powder Snow!
-Vul!

Vulpix!

You can do it, Snowy!

We’ll be out of here so soon.

You’ll feel better in no time!

There’s no chance that I could be wrong!
No way!

[roars]

Palossand!

Turtonator!

-[Snowy] Oh!
-Snowy!

[squeals]

It’s too much for Snowy!

That’s why we’re helping Snowy out!

Take that! And take that!

Take that!

-[grunts]
-Huh!

Thanks a lot, Mallow!

-You, too, Sophocles! Fan!
-All right!

-I'll help, too.
-[Mallow] On my count!

[all] And one! And two!

Steenee! Steenee!

That’s great, Steenee! Keep it up!

[all] And one! And two!
And three! And four!

Togedemaru, that's great! Keep fanning!

[squeals and sighs]

-You’re working so hard!
-Vul. Vul.

[squeals]

There’s no chance that I could be wrong!
No way!

-[Litten whines]
-Are you cold?

[meows]

Here, how’s that?

[Litten meows]

Wow. You’re warming me up, too.
Thanks, Litten.

-Pika!
-Pop!

Pikachu!

-Pop!
-Karp!

-[screams]
-Pika! Pika!

[all] And one! And two!
And three! And four!

[Snowy squeals]

-And two! And three! And four!
-[roars]

[gasps] It looks like Palossand’s
starting to slow down!

-So, it’s working!
-Just a little more!

Keep fanning! You, too, Steenee!

[Sophocles] Go, Togedemaru!

[Lillie] Not much longer, Snowy!

[roars]

[grunts]

[Rockruff barks and Rowlet trills]

-It froze!
-We did it!

We did it!

-We did it, Steenee!
-Steenee!

[Snowy groans]

-Oh, Snowy. Thank you.
-[Snowy whimpers]

You two were great. Thank you both!

-Turtonator!
-Char!

-[barks]
-[trills]

There’s no chance
I could be wrong. No way! [buzzes]

Hm. Oh, Popplio.

[squeaks]

[gibbers]

[both screech]

[hoots]

-[Rowlet trills]
-[groans] Huh?

[trills]

Rowlet! Yes! Litten, let’s go!

[grunts and groans]

[gasps and grunts]

[grunts gasps]

[grunts] Oh!

[groans]
I won’t give up! One more time.

Huh? Litten?

[hisses]

[gasps]

Litten!

[squeals]

Litten, you did it!
You used Fire Fang perfectly!

[meows]

[trills]

-[trills]
-Hey, you guys!

-Ash! Thank goodness!
-Charizard! Get Ash and Litten!

[Charizard grunts]

[grunts] Charizard, let’s get Rotom, too!

-[grunts]
-There’s no chance. No way!

-[Mallow] Ash! Be careful!
-[Ash] Don’t worry! [grunts]

-[grunts and gasps]
-[Rotom Dex] Hurry, please.

-[gasps] Great job hanging in, Rotom!
-Endurance and perseverance...

Litten, use Ember
and melt the ice Rotom’s stuck in.

-[meows]
-[Palossand growls]

[Lillie] Oh! It’s waking up!

-[Ash grunts and yells]
-[Rotom Dex] What’s going on?

[roars]

Oh, no! Where's that shovel?

Lillie, can you use Powder Snow again?

-I think Snowy’s too exhausted.
-[groans] Oh, right.

There it is!

[Lana] Popplio!

-Pika! Pika!
-Popplio!

[grunts] Awesome! Pikachu, you found it!

-We’ve been waiting! Thanks so much!
-[squeals happily]

-Pika!
-Rockruff!

-Steenee!
-Yeah!

-Togedemaru! Kick!
-[gibbers]

[trills]

Time that, then hit it!

-Ready, Litten?
-[meows]

-All right, now! Use Ember!
-[meows]

[grunts]

Argh!

You’re free!

-[Ash] Huh? Whoa! Argh!
-[Rotom Dex screams]

[Kiawe] Charizard!

-Great, Charizard. Thanks!
-Char!

Palos!

Palossand!

[all yell and gasp]

Pika?

Pikachu. Pika!

Pika?

[howls]

Oh, man! Sorry about that.

[shivers] I'm still cold as an ice cube.

[narrator] With their fierce battle
at an end, our heroes can breathe easy.

I’m sure if they ever see a shovel on
the beach again, they’ll be very careful.

-[Kukui] Sounds like you had a busy day!
-But guess what?

Litten can use Fire Fang now!
That’s how we got out of there!

-Pikachu!
-[meows]

I guess it was the power of
your Fire Pledge with Litten that helped.

Hm? Why is it suddenly dark?

Afternoon shower, maybe? Huh?

-[yells]
-Palossand!

As the journey continues!
