Post by bunniefuu »

[narrator]
Ah! As usual, Ash and his Pokémon

are training for a Pokémon battle!

Now, Pikachu, use Quick att*ck!
Lycanroc, Rock Throw!

-Pika!
-[howls]

[pants]

-Pika!
-[grunts]

Poipole! Poipole!

[growls and barks]

Both Pikachu and Lycanroc are fired up!
It's an impressive clash of power att*cks!

Quick, Rowlet, Razor Leaf!
Torracat, Flame Charge!

[trills]

[Torracat] Torra!

-[trills]
-Torracat!

Torracat!

Offense and defense using Razor Leaf
and Flame Charge! That's brilliant!

-[trills]
-Torra! Torracat

Now, Lycanroc, Accelerock!

Lycanroc! [growls]

-Pikachu, use Iron Tail!
-Pikachu!

-Poi!
-Pika!

-[all] Huh?
-[giggles]

-[Lycanroc howls]
-Poipole!

[chuckles] Poi! Poi!

-[Lycanroc howls in pain]
-Poi! Poi! Poi!

Wow, Poipole.

When in the world did Poipole learn
Fury att*ck?

Hm? Stop it! Ah!

Poi! Poi!

Oh! Whoa, Poipole! It's not your turn
right now, so, stop interrupting us!

-Poi!
-Roc.

-Roc.
-But those were some awesome Fury att*cks!

-Poi! Poipole!
-Hm?

[all scream]

-Hey, you're all sticky. [gasps]
-Poipole.

-Poi!
-Huh?

Poipole. Poipole. Poipole. Poipole.

Poipole's drawing again!

Poipole, you really like Pikachu a lot,
don't you?

-Poipole!
-[Ash chuckles]

-Pikachu!
-Poipole.

-[Kukui] Ash!
-Huh?

-Time to go shopping!
-Munchlax.

We need to make a Quick att*ck
on the store!

Right! Okay, let's move it and see
who gets there first! Come on!

-Pika!
-Full speed ahead!

[panting]

[trills]

Wait for me!

♪ Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele
Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini ♪

♪ We've been preparing, sharing
Training, studying A to Z ♪

♪ Bonding, battling, laughing
Getting crazy, you and me ♪

♪ 'Cause it's coming soon ♪

♪ We will all meet our destiny
Under the Alolan moon ♪

♪ Pokémon! ♪

Wow!

Poi!

-Huh?
-Poi? Poipole. Oh!

Poipole. Poi.

Huh?

[Ash] Alola!

Uh, alola, alola.

-Hey, it's a Ribombee!
-Yeah, it's my partner.

Bom!

Well, alola.

Great paintings.

Poipole!

-You like this one?
-Poipole!

-Huh.
-Poipole!

-Pika!
-[stammers]

-Lax.
-Ribombee!

Ribombee. The Bee Fly Pokémon.
A Bug and Fairy type.

Ribombee rolls pollen into all kinds
of puffs for use in battle or to eat.

[gibbers]

-Such love. Such love. So much love!
-[all] Huh?

I know this little one just loves to draw.

-[all] Huh?
-How do you know that?

Ribombee told me. It's that simple.

You can understand what Pokémon
are saying?

Hm. I'm not quite sure.

Ribombee are able to synchronize their
hearts with both people and Pokémon.

Unbelievable!

[Burnet] They say Ribombee can
differentiate

what powers the different flowers have
by their auras.

After spending so much time with it,
I'm starting to sense what it feels.

At least that's what seems to me
to be happening.

[squeals happily]

That's totally awesome!

Well, totally awesome or not, I'm Mina!
And you are?

-My name's Ash and this is Pikachu!
-Pikachu!

And this is Poipole, Munchlax and Rotom!

-Poipole!
-Munchlax!

It's nice to meet you.

Oh! Nice to meet you, nice to meet you.

-[Ash] Mina?
-Huh?

-Alola!
-Oh!

This is Mina and Ribombee.

They all wanted to meet you,
so I brought them along.

[all] Alola!

-Oh, alola, alola.
-[gasps]

In this... In this painting...

In this painting...

In this painting...
you can see the spirit of Wela Volcano!

-It's wonderful.
-Popplio!

The ocean. Primarina.

Pop!

-Popplio, that's your final evolved form.
-Pretty, isn't it?

Maru!

Hm, hey, hold on. Is that...

A night sky full of Minior?

-I'm so impressed that you noticed.
-[chuckles]

Oranguru!

Vul!

Snow. It's probably Mount Lanakila.

-So what are you painting right now, Mina?
-That one.

-[all gasp]
-[Ash] Is that us?

[Rotom] Hey, that's me!

Pikachu!

Poi! Poi! Poi!

-Pika!
-A family portrait.

-Family?
-[Lana] It's Ash's Alolan family!

Alolan family!

-Poipole. Poi! Poi! Poi! Poi!
-Oh!

What are you doing, Poipole?

-[all scream]
-Pika Pika!

[gibbers happily]

-Poipole!
-Huh?

[gibbers happily]

Poipole.

-Oh! Oh!
-Poipole. Poi.

See, Poipole?

Poi? Poipole!

-[gibbers]
-Oh! Oh! [laughs]

[all] Huh?

-I wonder what they're up to.
-What is it, Mina?

Oh! Sorry, sorry.

It's just that Poipole's drawings
are just overflowing with emotion.

-So, what do you see?
-Ribombee, would you?

-Rim!
-Poi! Poi!

Rim!

Remember, Ribombee's able to synchronize
its heart with people and Pokémon.

-[all] Huh?
-[gibbers]

[Mina] Oh! Oh!

-It says it loves... really loves you.
-Oh!

-So that means...
-It loves, really loves...

-All of us.
-Its family.

It said that?

-[gibbers]
-What's up, Rotom?

Take a look at this!

[gibbers]

-It's the same symbol!
-And that means you, buddy!

It really loves you!

Poi! Poi! Poi! Poi! Poi! Poi!

[gasps] You're amazing, Poipole!
You can draw what you're feeling!

Poipole. Poi! Poi! Poi! Poipole. Poipole.

-[Faba] What did you say?
-[Lusamine] Poipole can draw its feelings?

That's correct! Quite a curious finding.

-The data, Rotom?
-Right away!

Okay. Mina said that means
it really loves all of us.

It really loves all of you?
That sounds so delightful!

I prefer a scientific explanation,
rather than an emotional one.

That means we now know

that Poipole possesses
an impressive degree of intelligence.

-Don't you think?
-Right!

[Lusamine]
Continue to keep a close eye on Poipole

and please report anything
you happen to notice.

Right! Ultroger!

Huh. Uh, I don't have to say that at
home--

You know, I've always wanted to say
that very thing myself!

Won't you please take it from the top?
-Okay!

Now, Ash and Professor Burnet, Professor
Kukui, Pikachu and Rotom, you can do it!

[all] Right! Ultroger!

Poipole. Poi! Poi! Poi! Poi!

[all] Who's that Pokémon?

[all] It's Ribombee!

[Ribombee] Ribombee!

-[Ash] Poipole?
-[Rotom] Where are you?

Poipole. [gibbers]

Oh! Poipole!

-[laughs]
-Pika! Pika!

There you are!

-Poipole! [gibbers]
-[grunts and laughs]

Poipole? It's time for dinner.

[Poipole gibbers]

Huh?

[pants]

What's this?

-Poipole. Poi.
-Our Alolan family!

Poi! Poi!

It has the "loves,
really loves all of you" mark!

-Poi!
-Awesome. Thanks, Poipole.

Poipole. [gibbers]

[laughs]
-A photo opportunity!

-Ash?! Say Pyukumuku!
-[chuckles]

Huh? Pyukumuku?

[all snoring]

[Poipole gibbers softly]

[low murmuring] Poipole...

[low screech]

[low murmuring] Poipole...

Poipole!

[sobs]

-Pika! Pika! Pika! Pika! Pika!
-Toge! Toge! Toge!

Mina's such a wonderful person.

I know! Her paintings are wonderful, too!

-So is Ribombee!
-Pikachu!

[all] Huh?

[Poipole murmurs]

-Poi. Poi.
-Pika!

Poi. Poi.

-Poipole?
-Poi.

Hey, Poipole?

-What's wrong, Poipole?
-Poipole!

-Poi! Poi! [sobs]
-Huh? You're crying.

[sobs deeply]

[Sophocles] Are these...

-[Kiawe] Poipole's...
-Feelings?

-Yeah, I think so.
-[camera clicks]

Updating data on Poipole's drawings.

[Poipole sobs]

It's okay, Poipole.

[Poipole sobs]

Been a little quiet lately,
don't you think, Tupp?

Quiet? No way.

As long as Team Skull is around,
quiet will never come to Alola.

But still, everybody looks so happy.
[gasps and squeals]

Morelull, you're so cute! Oh! Huh!

Raichu, you're so cute, too!

Comfey! Comfey! Comfey! Comfey!

Look at Rapp totally enjoying
the peaceful life.

-It's not good.
-I agree.

This might be a little bit too much peace
and quiet for Team Skull's own good.

[Comfey gibbers]

Come on, wait for me! [pants]

-It's a Ribombee!
-Oh?

-Does that cute Ribombee belong to you?
-Oh my. no. It doesn't belong to me.

-It's my partner.
-What is it, Rapp?

I've got to have that Ribombee,
or I'll go crazy!

-Wha...
-Oh? [laughs]

I'll have you know Tupp is super strong!
So hand over that Ribombee right now!

Nobody messes around with Team Skull
and gets away with it, understand?

-[all] Bam!
-Then let's battle.

-[all] Huh?
-All right!

It's going to be a battle,
but not what you think.

-It's an art battle.
-[all] Huh?

The subject of this painting battle
will be your Pokémon partner.

All right, let's begin!

Oh! So cute! Super-duper fantastic!

That pose is just perfect!

Just what I'd expect from my Pokémon.

-Cool!
-[hisses]

[gibbers]

Salandit!

Huh? [sighs]

[grunts]

-Time! All pencils down!
-Huh?

Over already?

-I've so got this!
-Okay. You first.

-Right!
-[all] Huh?

You call that a Garbodor?

-[laughter]
-[Zipp grunts]

Oh, yes. That's very good.
It's filled with love for Garbodor.

-You think so?! [laughs]
-Next up?

I want you to see my Zubat next! Ta-da!

-That's supposed to be Zubat?
-[both laugh]

-You can barely tell it's even a Pokémon!
-How dare you?! My Zubat is cute!

Now. Oh, oh.

I can tell you really gave this
exceptional drawing of Zubat your all.

You think so? [chuckles]

How are you two babies supposed to b*at
her with dumb drawings like those two?

Let's show our masterpieces
on the count of three!

Sure, sure.

One, two, three!

[gasps]

-You're g-good.
-Yup. Uh-oh.

Really? That's...

[screams]

Poor Salandit's in shock, too.

Hm. Perhaps it would be better if you paid
a little closer attention to Salandit.

[stammers] Don't talk down to me!

And why are we doing a painting battle
in the first place?

[Rapp and Zipp] Yeah, yeah!

This is how you battle!

[grunts]

[grunts angrily]

I was going to call it a tie
because they're all good drawings, but--

-No buts! Salandit, use Toxic!
-Salandit!

What?

-Poipole!
-Nice, Poipole!

-Hey! Three against one isn't fair!
-Pika! Pika!

-Who cares? Use Toxic again!
-Zubat, use Air Cutter!

Garbodor, use Venoshock!

[all grunt and screech]

That's enough. Ribombee, use Pollen Puff!

Ribomb! Ribomb! Ribombee!

Zubat!

-Pikachu, use Iron Tail!
-Pika!

-Poipole, use Fury att*ck!
-Poipole!

Pika! Pika!

[grunting and squealing]

-Pika!
-Poipole!

There's more to Ribombee
than just cuteness.

[all] We'll remember this!

Though Ash really doesn't need to.

[all] Mm-hm.

This is what Poipole drew earlier.

Poipole didn't even hear me calling
when it was drawing.

It just kept on drawing anyway.

Ribombee...

Ribomb!

-[gibbers]
-Seems like it's in a good mood right now.

That's a relief.

But I can understand how Poipole
was feeling when it was drawing this,

even without using Ribombee's powers.

How was it feeling? Not good?

Sad. Sad. Sad.

It was sad.

-Very sad.
-Really sad.

-I thought so.
-Why is Poipole so sad? I'm confused.

[gibbers]

Poipole might be carrying a big weight
of some sort on its shoulders.

A big weight?

Like some sort of mission.
What kind of mission, I have no idea.

Poipole, I don't know
what kind of mission you're on,

or why you're sad,
but don't forget one thing.

Poi?

You'll always have me on your side!

-Pikachu!
-I feel exactly the same way!

Poipole! Poi! [gibbers happily]

[Rotom gasps] Unbelievable!!

-Hm? I've seen that before!
-It's the Blinding One!

It's the legendary being we read about
before in Acerola's library book!

I remember that day.
Poipole got weird then, too.

That's so strange. You saw that book
quite a while ago, didn't you?

So, tell me, why is all of this drawing
suddenly happening now?

Good question.

Who knows? But you know what?

Poipole loves, loves, really loves
the Blinding One.

[narrator] What is the relationship
between Poipole and the Blinding One?

And what mission is Poipole actually on?

The plot thickens,
as the journey continues!
