21x31 - Some Kind of Laziness!

[bunniefuu]

[Jessie giggles]
I've finally got it under my belt!

-Are you all set, Mimikyu?
-[hisses]

-Okay, off we go.
-Make it so.

-Ready!
-Willing!

-Able!
-Wobbu!

[all grunting]

[all laugh]

-[bleeping]
-[all gasp]

Hey, no fair! We're just warming up!

Scheduled status report, please.

All right, any progress on Ula'ula Island
since we last spoke?

We're working on it.

As you can see, we have a Z-Ring!

We were just about to put it through
its paces by catching Pikachu.

I see. Of course the chances of catching
a rare Pokémon are greatly increased

by being able to utilize a Z-Move.

Now you're making sense!

Tell the Boss we'll send Pikachu over
once our catching is complete.

I'm happy to see you're sounding confident
about it for once.

So, we'll look forward to a good report,
once you've caught a Pokémon.

Consider it done!

[sighs] Like waking up from a bad dream.

Now, as the saying goes,
strike Pikachu with a curling iron!

It's strike while the iron is hot,
but close enough.

-Wobbuffet!
-[groans]

[robot James]
Current mission details decided.

-[robot Jessie] That is Meowth for you.
-Most impressive.

[robot Meowth] We will catch Pikachu.

-[Jessie] That is Meowth for you.
[James] Most impressive.

Wobbuffet!

[robot Meowth glitching]
Current mission details decided.

-[robot Jessie] That is Meowth for you.
[robot James] Most impressive.

-[robot Meowth] We will catch Pikachu.
-That is Meowth for you.

-[robot James] Most impressive.
-Wobbu!

[narrator] Thanks to Tapu Bulu, Lycanroc
was able to overcome a major weakness.

Now it's Ash's final training
before his pre-trial rematch!

Lycanroc! Pikachu! Are you two ready?

-Roc! Roc!
-Pika!

-Ash can train by himself?
-He does it all the time. Really!

Let's go, Pikachu!
Use Quick att*ck on Lycanroc!

-Pi!
-Lycanroc, dodge

and use Accelerock on Pikachu!

-Pika!
-Roc! [barks]

Now, Pikachu, Iron Tail!

-Pika!
-[snarls]

Buddy, Electro Ball!
Lycanroc, make sure you dodge that!

-Pika Pika!
-[snarls]

-[grunts]
-[all gasp]

Oh!

[snarls and whines]

-[sighs]
-It's not angry!

-Lycanroc, that was awesome!
-Things are going to be all right.

Pika...

-How about you, Pikachu?
-Pika?

I know. I'll wash you
and Lycanroc up a little later.

But what was up with that Electro Ball?
It sure acted weird.

It almost looked like it popped!

-[grunts] Okay! Okay, okay, okay!
-[grunts happily]

Now, let's get over to Nanu's place.

And ask him for a pre-trial rematch.
What do you say?

[both] Excuse us!

Ah!

Huh? Well, well, so it's you guys.

What do you all want for crying out loud?

Question! You do know
where the twerp is, don't you?

He's got a Pikachu and a Lycanroc.

-You don't mean that kid from Pallet Town?
-The very one!

My Mimikyu and I want
to battle his Pikachu and we can't wait!

Can't wait? [groans] What a pain.

Let's see. That kid, he's here.

-[grunts]
-But where is here?

Uh... at the abandoned Thrifty Megamart.

And that's where we'll find the twerp
and his Pikachu?

[hisses]

[grunts] Mimikyu! You look like
you're going to blow a gasket!

-So, what do you say we all blow a gasket?
-[all] Yeah!

Good luck.

-Excuse me!
-Hm?

No! First it's them and now it's you!

Lycanroc's a lot stronger now.
I'd like a rematch, please.

As if dealing with them first wasn't
bad enough, now you want a rematch.

You had to deal with them first?
Who are they?

Oh, them? There are these guys who really
want to battle with you, kiddo.

Wait. I've got it!

Huh? Got what?

-You can retake the pre-trial.
-Yeah, really?

-And then I can take the grand trial?
-Oh, yeah.

All right! We'll do great, Lycanroc!

So, what kind of pre-trial is it?

There's a Trainer with a Mimikyu where
the abandoned Thrifty Megamart used to be.

b*at that Trainer in a battle.
How simple could it be?

b*at them in a battle?
All right, bring it on!

-And Acerola, you'll referee.
-Sure!

-We've got a job to do, okay?
-Kyu! Kyu!

-All right. Let's go!
-Pika!

What would the twerp be doing
in a depressing place like this?

This is where the island kahuna
said he was.

Nobody would hang around
in a place like this.

-[shrieks]
-What happened to you?

You shrieked!

-That thing over there.
-[both] Huh?

[all shriek]

[Jessie] Mimikyu!
Don't scare us like that!

[hisses]

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

[all scream]

Poipole!

-Pika! Pika Pika!
-Poipole!

Poi! Poi! Poi! Poipole!

Hey, we didn't come here to play, Poipole!

[giggles] Poipole!

[Rotom] Once a mischief-maker,
always a mischief-maker.

-So, twerp, we meet again!
-[all] Huh?

-Pika?
-What was that?

I'm not a twerp. That honor is yours.

You won't catch us being twerpish bores!

The beauty so radiant, the flowers
and moon hide in shame.

A single flower of evil
in this fleeting world, Jessie!

The nobly heroic man of our times!

The master of darkness fighting back
against a tragic world! It's James.

It's all for one and one for all!

A glittering dark star
that always shines bright!

Dig it, while Meowth takes flight!

[both] Team Rocket, let's fight!

-That's right!
-Wobbuffet!

Team Rocket? You're the ones I'm supposed
to have my pre-trial with?

[Mimikyu snarls]

-And your Mimikyu?
-Pika.

[hisses]

And what's ghost girl doing here?

Me? I'm the pre-trial referee.
Thanks for having me!

[all] Thank you for having us!

Hold the phone! What pre-trial?
That has nothing to do with us!

Today's the day we take possession
of your Pikachu!

No way! That's not going to happen.

Clueless as usual.

We'll wipe the grocery store floor
with you! Ha! And Pikachu, too!

Right. I accept your challenge!

-Pikachu, let's do it!
-Pika Pika!

So, Mimikyu, today Pikachu's going down!

[hisses]

-All right. Battle begin!
-Kyu! Kyu!

[glitches] Most impressive.

Current mission details decided.

-[glitches] That is Meowth for you.
-Wobbuffet...

[glitches]
Current mission details decided.

That is Meowth for you.

[robot James] Most impressive.

-Hm!
-We will catch Pikachu.

-That is Meowth for you.
-Most impressive.

[glitches] Wobbuffet!

[all glitching]

We will catch Pikachu.

Most impressive.

[glitching]

[Bewear shrieks]

[robots power down]

[buzzing]

[all] Who's that Pokémon?

[all] It's Krookodile!

[Krookodile] Krookodile!

When battling against Mimikyu, there's
something you need to be careful about.

-And what might that be?
-[kids call out]

-All right then, Lillie!
-Thanks!

Normal, Fighting and Dragon-type moves
have no effect on Mimikyu.

Exactly!

Mimikyu has the characteristics
of both Fairy-type and Ghost-type Pokémon.

You know, Team Rocket has a Mimikyu.

I wonder why Mimikyu wears
a rag shaped like Pikachu.

I want to see what Mimikyu's hiding.

Really? You sure about that?

-I think I'll take a pass.
-Aw.

Also, you can find Mimikyu living
all over the Alola region,

and especially on Ula'ula Island.

Ula'ula Island.
I wonder what Ash is up to right now.

I wonder if he had his grand trial.

All right, Pikachu, Iron Tail!

Pika... chu! Ah!

Pika! Pika!

That's Mimikyu's disguise!

[hisses]

Pika!

Man, is it strong!

[grunts]

Better to stay out of close range.
Pikachu, use Electro Ball!

Pika, Pika, Pikachu!

-One more time, buddy!
-Pi!

[all squeal]

-Pi! Pika?
-What happened?

The same thing happened
during training this morning.

-Pikachu, dodge it with Quick att*ck!
-Pika!

Now, use Thunderbolt!

-Pika... Pika!
-Poipole!

Pika!

Pi! Pi!

-Pikachu!
-[grunts] Pi... Pika!

[hisses]

-Mimikins? That Mimikyu's strong.
-Kyu! Kyu!

Time to wrap this baby up!

Mimikyu, let's finish this
with our Z-Move.

Wobbu! Wobbu!

Huh? Hey, James, what's going on with you?

Hm? What's wrong with you, Meowth?

Huh? [shrieks]

You look sick.

Hm? [shrieks]

Stop it! I don't like spooky noises.

Huh? [shrieks]

Huh? [shrieks]

[all gibber nervously]

-Fancy meeting you here.
-Beware the Bewear.

Wobbu.

[James] Wait, wait! Hold on!

Now, hear this! This is our chance
to get Pikachu for the boss!

Can't you just give it a rest
for ten more minutes?

-[Mimikyu hisses]
-[all] Huh?

[hisses]

-[hisses]
-Huh?

[all gasp]

-You mean...
-You'll let us stay?

Okay, Pikachu, heads up!

Now, use Iron Tail!

Pikachu! Pika Pika!

Pika!

Pika! Pi!

Quick, behind you!

Pi! Pika!

Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi!

Pika! Pi! Pi! Pi!

Pi! Pi! Pika!

Pi! Pi!

That Mimikyu and Pikachu are both amazing.

-[gibbers]
-huh?

-Pika!
-Never give up, Pikachu! Electro Ball!

Pika! Pikachu!

[all gibber and squeal]

-[both] You could poke an eye out!
-[hisses]

-Who cares? Look there!
-[James and Jessie] Huh?

[Pikachu pants] Pika...

[both] Yay!

[Meowth] Mimikyu's in the battling
driver's seat and sitting pretty!

But of course!
Now for a Z-Move to sink their boat!

-Ready!
-Willing!

-Able!
-Wobbu!

[all grunt]

Oh! Is that what I think?
Please, Pikachu, get up!

Mimikyu's going to use a Z-Move now!

-Pi... Pika...
-Come on, you can do it!

-You guessed it.
-You'll feel it!

Straight from the heart!

Wobbu! Wobbu!

[all] Ta-da!

Mimikyu, bully for you!

-[Mimikyu hisses]
-Dig it!

It says the move's name
is Let's Snuggle Forever.

A bit long, but why not? Then we'll use...

[all] Let's Snuggle Forever!

-All right, Pikachu, Electro Ball!
-Pika!

-[gasps]
-Pikachu's been caught!

Pikachu!

[nervous gibbering]

That move will curl your nose hairs.

Let's Snuggle Forever is scary! Bye.

Be strong! Can't you see,
victory is imminent, you twit?

Thanks! I needed that!

[sobs] It's been a long time coming
for the Boss to heap us with praise.

Please, hang in there, Pikachu!

Taking a Z-Move head-on is like
kissing a freight train!

Face the fact that Pikachu is finally
on our side of the tracks.

-[all gasp]
-What's that glow?

-You're okay, Pikachu!
-Poipole!

Hold on! Searching, searching.

It's Electroweb! Pikachu protected itself
by using it as a shield!

[gasps]

So cool, Pikachu!
You learned how to use Electroweb!

Let's give it one more sh*t.
Electroweb, again!

-That's not right!
-Z-Moves demand you move!

Now it's our turn.

But how?

The Z-Crystal changed shape!

It's just like before.

[both grunt and gasp]

-Okay, Pikachu!
-Pika?

Let's give 'em a taste of a real Z-Move!
Yeah!

[grunts]

Much bigger than a Thunderbolt.

Yeah, this is much, much bigger!

-At super-full power!
-Pika!

Pikachu, use , , Volt
Thunderbolt now!

A , , Volt Thunderbolt?

Pikachu makes it look easy.

Kyu... Kyu... Kyu...

That's it!
Ash and Pikachu win the pre-trial!

All right! [chuckles] We won, buddy!

[Jessie] No, no!
Mimikyu, you can still battle, can't you?

[all] Huh?

What are you doing?

I'm not groceries. [grunts]

[grunts] You're purchasing us?

-[all shriek]
-[Bewear squeals]

[all] We're off with a new blast!

Wobbuffet!

Poi! [giggles]

-[gibbers happily]
-Pika... Pikachu!

Thanks for cheering us on, Poipole.

-Congratulations, Ash!
-Hey, thanks a lot!

Do you think Nanu will let me have
a grand trial now?

Now, don't tell me that you won.

Won? He won it big! Pikachu's
, , Volt Thunderbolt was amazing!

-And Pikachu learned Electroweb, too!
-That's 'cause my buddy worked super hard.

-Pikachu!
-I won the pre-trial rematch, right?

No more tall tales.
A promise is a promise.

Huh. Grand trial? You're on, kid!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Oh, thank you so much!

Okay, grand trial. I'm ready!

[narrator] Ash and Pikachu passed their
pre-trial rematch with flying colors!

Next up, the grand trial competing
against island kahuna, Nanu,

as the journey continues!
