21x39 - All They Want to do is Dance, Dance!

Post by bunniefuu »

Ha! [grunts]

-[all] Huh?
-Professor, what was that for?

Ahem! I was thinking about having
you work on a little Pokémon dance.

What’s a Pokémon dance?

Is it a kind of dance Pokémon do?
I’m confused.

I want you to come up with some dance
choreography for your Pokémon partner

-and have them demonstrate. Simple, right?
-Wow, sounds like fun!

Professor, are we allowed
to use any props?

Yes, of course!

If it helps to bring out your Pokémon’s
character, then I’m good with it!

Sounds good to me.

Right, Marowak! Show the spirit
of Wela Volcano with dance!

Marowak!

So, shall we?

Pop! Pop!

-Pika?
-Okay, buddy!

-Let’s come up with something awesome!
-Pika!

Hey, Steenee?
Doesn’t it sound like a whole lot of fun?

Stee!

The recital is in three days!

-Until then, do your best and practice!
-[all] Right!

Let’s ready to be a part
of some serious dancing fever! Yeah!

[Meowth] Step right up! Step right up!

Check out our Bewear brand
honey malasadas,

-fresh from our fiery fryer!
-I’ll take one!

Count me in, too.

-Thanks for the biz!
-They’ll be out in a whiz!

We just hit the malasada mother lode.
They’re flying out of here!

Since we’re on a roll anyway,
let’s make something new!

I’m with you.
And with all our newly found finances,

headquarters will pat us
on our creative backs!

-Ah!
-Next, an ad campaign with zip and zing!

All we have to do is give them
a little song and dance and bling!

♪ After all, an actress with my talent
is brimming with moves and grooves ♪

[both] Bravo to the talent!

It’s meeting time
for our capitalist conquest!

-Wobbuffet!
-Steenee!

-Huh?
-Isn’t that... the Twerpette’s?

Where there’s smoke...

-Fire?
-Steenee! Don’t run!

-You’re going to hurt yourself!
-It’s the green Twerpette!

Steenee, please!

-[pants] Stop running off without me.
-Steenee! Steenee!

Alola! Both of you!
Steenee? You’re so energetic!

-Here’s a snack.
-Steenee! Steenee!

-Thanks a lot, Anela.
-My pleasure.

You like it? I’m so glad.

Steenee!

Well, expressing thanks

-with an Alola Hula!
-Alola Hula?

I guess young people don’t know
about that.

The Alola Hula is an Alolan dance
dating back to ancient times.

-The word Hula actually means dance.
-Oh!

You’ll understand better if I show you.
Oricorio! Let’s go!

♪ Oricori ♪

♪ Oricorio ♪

-♪ Oricori, Oricorio ♪
-♪ Steenee! Steenee! Steenee! ♪

-Oh!
-Now, why don’t you join in, too?

-Sure! [laughs]
-Steenee!

♪ Ori! ♪

Have they gone mad? [groans]

Nope. But that hoofing strangely
makes me feel like I've got to dance.

-I want it.
-[Meowth and James] Huh?

I want that Pokémon as much
as life itself! There!

That’s an Oricorio. It’s quite
fascinating. The Dancing Pokémon.

Pa’u Style. A Psychic and Flying type.

By singing and dancing, its psychic powers
get stronger and stronger.

There! In print!

I want it now! Now!
I’ve always wanted backup dancers

and this will be number one!

You can count me in!

No one’s better at cutting
a proverbial rug!

-Oh yeah, got to dance! It's déjà-vu!
-Wobbu!

-♪ Oricori ♪
-♪ Steenee! Steenee! Steenee! ♪

[applause]

That was so totally fun!

Hey, Steenee, do you want to take on
the dance challenge with Alola Hula?

What are you talking about?

See, we’re going to have a Pokémon
dance recital at the Pokémon School.

Thank you so much for telling us all about
the Alola Hula!

-Now let’s get back to that shopping!
-Steenee!

Great to see you!

-Bye! Off you go!
-Oricorio.

-Hey, you hear that?
-Clear as a bell.

Wow, I’ve never heard
that market lady’s name before.

Wobbuffet!

-Not relevant!
-[both] Huh?

This is my chance to make all the Twerps'
and Twerpettes' Pokémon my backup dancers

and they can give Oricorio company
as well!

Isn’t that swell?

So we’ll att*ck during their recital
and catch them all in one fell swoop!

-Whoop-de-doo!
-[all cackle]

-[Lillie claps rhythmically]
-Here we go.

-One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two.
-Vul!

-[chuckles] Looking good!
-One... Huh?

But I have the feeling we can be
a little more creative.

Why not? Why don’t you incorporate a move?

A move. Great idea. We’ll try just that.

-Thank you very much!
-Vul!

Popplio! Two balloons, back to back!

-Pop! Pop!
-That’s how it’s done!

-Pop!
-Wow! You’re using its balloons.

-That's so Popplio.
-And we’re only halfway there.

-We’ll show off a whole lot more.
-I can’t wait to see that!

I think we’ll be able to surprise
everybody with these dance moves!

Togedemaru and Charjabug...

-Maru!
-Charja! Charja!

-It’ll be a great dance. What kind?
-Until the recital, my lips are sealed.

-[chuckles]
-Toge!

Now, Marowak, let’s fire up Wela’s flame.

And let it flow through us with our dance!

-Marowak!
-[Kiawe groans]

-Oh! Quick, Popplio, use Bubble Beam!
-Popplio!

[Kiawe groans]

You’ve got to be careful
when you’re dealing with fire.

-Right.
-Maro! Marowak!

-So you guys do that and you guys do that!
-As for you Ash, what kind of dance

-are you planning on having them do?
-[chuckles] Pikachu! Torracat!

Lycanroc! Rowlet! Poipole!
Let’s show him our amazing dancing!

-Torracat!
-Pika!

-[Rowlet hoots]
-Poipole!

[all gibber]

-A picture-perfect moment!
-Is that Pokémon dancing?

Uh, isn’t it?

[all groan]

A picture-perfect fail.

-Steenee! Nee!
-How are you two carrying on?

-We decided on the Alola Hula!
-Steenee!

Alola Hula, huh?
Looks like you’re really on to something.

-I’ll be looking forward to it.
-Thanks!

-So let’s work hard and do our best!
-Steenee-nee-nee!

♪ Steenee! Steenee! ♪

Look at that. The Alola Hula.

Yeah! It’s our Pokémon dancing assignment.

♪ Steenee! Steenee! ♪

It’s looking really good.

Just a little more time.
I’ll be done in a jiff!

Steenee!

Mallow, why don't I finish
the rest of those dishes

and you go practice with Steenee?

Thank you, Dad. That’s great!

A little treat,
because you’re such a hard worker.

-Steenee! [munches]
-[chuckles]

-Worked like a charm.
-I know!

Let’s call this the Rocket Hoofer Heist!

-All we do now is wait for the show.
-And I’ll have my Pokémon backup dancers!

Wobbuffet!

[all cackling]

[all] Who's that Pokémon?

[all] It’s Oricorio! Pa’u Style!

[Oricorio] Oricorio!

[Harper, Sarah] Yay! Pokémon dance!
Pokémon dance!

Dance, dance, dance!

You’ll have to go home
if you make too much noise.

-Guess you like to dance, too, huh?
-[chuckles] Don’t tell.

It’s a secret, even though
you’re our sister’s boyfriend.

Secret, secret!

He is not!

Looks like the g*ng’s all here. All right,
let’s begin the Pokémon dance recital.

First up is a demonstration

-by a real Alola Hula master!
-A master?

-Ori!
-Oricorio!

♪ Oricori! ♪

Isn’t that the Pa’u Style?

♪ Ori! Oricori! ♪

-Hey! That lady...
-From the market!

-I didn’t know Anela was famous!
-Steenee!

♪ Ori! Ori! ♪

[chuckles]

It’s been a while since I danced,
but I guess I still have it in me.

Thank you, Oricorio.

Oricori!

Thanks so much, Anela.

Remember to always convey what’s truly
in your heart whenever you dance.

-I can’t wait to see!
-[all] Right!

Following that wonderful demonstration,
it’s time for the big show!

And first up? Lillie!

-Thank you! Snowy, you ready to go?
-Vul!

Snowy, Powder Snow!

Vulpix!

Vulpix!

Vul!

-Wow! It’s figure skating!
-Pika!

It’s a fitting dance
for an Ice-type Pokémon!

-Snowy, finish it up!
-Vul!

Vul!

-[cheering]
-Pika!

Ori!

-That was wonderful ice dancing!
-Oh, thank you very much!

-Lana, you’re next!
-Right!

[twins] Yay!

What do you know?
Harper and Sarah are part of it, too!

-Pikachu!
-Looks like it’s going to be fun!

This dance is all about Popplio!

-Okay, you ready?
-Popp!

-First, make two balloons!
-Pop! Pop!

Harper, Sarah, get inside!

[both] Okay! Yay!

[squealing and chuckling]

-Popplio, jump!
-Pop!

-Pop!
-[Mallow] Popplio’s bouncy dance!

Thank you so very much!

-[twins] Thank you!
-Popplio!

Whoa, that was really good!

Yeah! Everyone’s showing
their Pokémon’s strong points.

I’m telling you, Steenee,
we simply can’t lose!

Steenee!

-Ha! Kiawe’s up next!
-I can’t wait!

Maro! Maro!

-Wow, they’re both dancing!
-So in sync!

Prepare yourselves
for our fiery Wela spirit!

-Pika!
-They both look just like Charizard!

Oricori!

Oh, my! You’re feverishly dancing, too,
I see.

Marowak, you look great!
Now, faster and with even more fire!

Marowak!

[groans] Hot-hot-hot-hot-hot!

[gasps] Popplio, use Bubble Beam!

-Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
-[groans] Hot-hot-hot-hot-hot!

[groans] A watery end to our flames.

-Are you okay?
-Toge?

That’s why I warned you, you’ve got to be
careful when you’re dealing with fire.

-I know.
-Marowak!

-Come on, Charjabug!
-Maru!

-What’s going on?
-Charjabug, time to change!

Into what?

Go, Togedemaru!

Togedemaru!

My TogeCharja Perfect Form Robot Deluxe!

That’s so cool!

What kind of dance will you do with that?

The thing is, I kind of couldn’t finish
all the programming by the deadline.

-[both] Uh!
-Pika!

All right, looks like we’re up next!
Let’s do it, everyone!

[all gibber]

Now, what?

[Jessie] Attention, Twerps and Twerpettes!

-It’s solid-gold show time!
-Huh? What does that mean?

It’s news to me.

Principal Oak,
maybe it’s one of his clever surprises.

[James] Now, will the Pokémon
please proceed to your places?

And Trainers please proceed
to your places!

-You’re over there, Popplio.
-Pop!

Marowak!

I wonder what’s going on.

Maybe it’s another surprise guest!

-Do you think it’s the Masked Royal?
-I kind of doubt that.

-We’re Pokémon dancing today.
-Steenee! Steenee!

-[buzzing]
-Hey, it’s starting!

Let’s begin this wonderful dance show!

Time to cut a rug!

-Cut a rug and catch some Pokémon!
-Kick it!

Kick it! Make your move and stick it!

♪ We’re your favorite fave! ♪

Team Rocket rave!

♪ Wobbuffet! ♪

-Team Rocket!
-You're the worst!

Silly Twerp! One look at our moves
and it will be love at first sight!

-Why are you here?
-Why do you think?

We came to dance!

-[both] Afraid not!
-[chuckles]

This dance is about to become
the coolest catch-fest!

[all gasp]

[squeals and chuckles]
See? Our choreography rules!

We’ll soon have our backup dancers,
then we’ll create the Tag-Team Rockers!

-[both] Yes!
-[Pokémon squeal and gibber]

Stee!

Though it’s been some days in preparation,
it’s worth it!

There’s nothing like putting on a show!

-Nothing like stealing the spotlight!
-Wobbuffet!

-Team Rocket, no fair!
-All’s fair in love and w*r.

Though being behind bars
can make it hard to see!

Steenee! Nee-nee!

[squeals and gasps]

You’re supposed to be in there,
not out here!

That’s logical.

-Steenee, help!
-Steenee! Nee-nee!

Bah. Outsmarted by a whirling
Twerpish troublemaker!

Looks like a tongue twister to me.

-Stop twisting and start catching!
-Aye-aye!

-Quick, Steenee, run away!
-Stee!

Nee! Steenee!

I’m liking the look of that!

Though we seem to have a loose connection.

Argh! Those legs are still free!

[grunts] Steenee! Steenee!

[blows raspberry] Come on!
Just roll on over here.

Please! You can’t save your friends
when they’re already pre-wrapped!

Yo-ho! Those cages may have
a not-so-sweet spot on top,

but you’re not going to know about that!

-Wobbuffet!
-[cackles] Huh?

[both gasp]

Steenee, on top! Get up on top and att*ck!

I give! Do the Twerps have psychic powers?

[both grunt]

Steenee!

-Your dancing days are through!
-Snowy, Powder Snow!

-Vulpix!
-[Meowth groans]

-Steenee! Steenee!
-[Meowth screams, groans]

-Steenee! [grunts]
-You’re wasting your stomping steam.

-Nee! Nee! Nee! Nee! Nee!
-[cackles] Give it a rest!

-Be careful! Don't hurt yourself!
-Nee! Nee! Nee!

Huh?

-Oopsie!
-Strong, aren't we?

That looks like Stomp! Steenee is learning
how to use the move Stomp!

Look at Steenee go.

Stee! Stee?

Wow, no way!

Tsar!

Tsareena!

[gasps] Could it be? It’s true.
You evolved!

Rotom, what is it?

Tsareena. The Fruit Pokémon. A Grass type.

Because of its strong legs,
Tsareena’s kicking moves are powerful.

It steps on defeated opponents
to accentuate its wins.

-Look at the Twerp Pokémon.
-It looks like royalty to me!

[gasps] Too much evolving isn’t
good for my self-confidence.

[groans]

Tsaree!

Tsareena! Keep up the pressure!

-Tsaree!
-[Meowth groans]

-[groans]
-Zots. What strength!

[Tsareena grunts]

-[all chuckle]
-Nice going, Tsareena!

[all chuckle]

Tsareena!

[all gibber and chuckle]

Time for us to turn the tables,
Team Rocket!

-Is this a turn for the worst?
-What about my backup dancers?

Now what?

[Bewear gibbers]

[Meowth groans]

[both grunt]

[all] We’re off with a new blast...

Wobbuffet!

Mallow, thank you.

It’s because Tsareena did its best.

-Right, Tsareena?
-Tsareena!

-Evolution’s cool.
-[twins] Cool, cool!

-Oh, wow! Never seen a Tsareena before.
-Me, neither!

-Congratulations!
-Thanks so much!

-♪ Rio! Rio! ♪
-Oh?

Are you saying thank you to Tsareena,
Oricorio?

From now on, Steenee will now be known
as Tsareena!

-How about a little dance?
-Great idea!

-What do you say?
-Tsareena!

[Rowlet hoots]

Tsareena!

[Rowlet hoots]

Tsareena!

[Rowlet hoots and trills]

[both groan]

That was one amazing move!

-Tsareena!
-Tsareena! You look great!

Tsareena!

[narrator] Steenee has made
an Evolution into Tsareena,

which is sure to provide us
with some very exciting dancing,

as the journey continues! Yeah!
