22x03 - Sparking Confusion!

[bunniefuu]

[bell ringing]

Ultra Guardians!

Lusamine wants to speak with you!

Alola, everyone.

[all] Alola!

Today, I have a special request

to make of all of you.

-[all] Huh?

-What's up?

Investigate Akala Island.

Are you saying

there's an Ultra Beast there?

No. That's not it.

There has been an extreme spike

in magnetic activity there recently.

Centered on Wela Volcano,

it's affecting our Ultra Aura sensors.

-Magnetic, like from big magnets?

-Exactly.

[Wicke] It was originally in the mouth of

the volcano and nearby mines,

but for some reason, it's spread out

over the entire Wela area.

Incredible!

It's even closing in on Paniola Town.

If this continues, your work

as Ultra Guardians will be affected.

I'm asking you to help pinpoint the origin

of this magnetic energy.

[all] Will do, Lusamine!

I thank you.

And now, all right, Ultra Guardians,

off you go!

Ultroger, Lusamine!

[Ash] Sparking Confusion!

[narrator] The Ultra Guardians.

Their mission, investigate Wela Volcano

and find the reason

for this magnetic anomaly.

Checking from the sky isn't enough.

We should investigate on foot.

[Ash] Got it!

So, how do we investigate

a magnetic anomaly?

You don't know?

-I borrowed a portable sensor.

-Yeah, I did too!

[chimes]

You can find an anomaly with that?

Right!

And since we have two sensors, we should

all probably split up into two groups.

Lillie's right.

I'll search the area near the mines

with Ash and Sophocles.

Got it!

The three of us should check out

the area we're in now.

Let's move out!

[chatters]

-[squeaks]

-Pika! Pika!

-Let's move out, too.

-Now, let's see...

[chimes]

[beeping]

That way.

[clicks]

I recorded it.

-Let me see!

-[all gasp]

-Yo!

-Yo!

Yo!

Those guys...

I get the feeling I've seen them before.

[chattering]

-[chattering]

-[Rotom] Marowak's really into it.

This is its home turf after all.

Marowak, don't get too far ahead of us.

Marowak!

Maro...

-Pika!

-Toge!

-Hey, what's up?

-Something wrong?

[chiming]

Huh, the sensor's found something.

-Found what?

-That way!

-[Ash] Huh?

-[grunting]

They're Geodude and Graveler, too!

[chattering]

[Rotom] Graveler, Alola Form.

The Rock Pokémon.

A Rock and Electric type.

The evolved form of Geodude.

Graveler like to eat rocks

and are known to get into fights.

[gasps] Wow, the Alolan Graveler

has some really big eyebrows.

[Rotom]

They're iron filings gathered together.

The Graveler with the largest eyebrows

are higher in status.

-Whoa!

-[beeps]

[Sophocles]

Oh, look at those magnetic reactions!

-Like the anomaly.

-That's correct.

Graveler are known to give off

very strong magnetic waves.

With that many, they could give off

anomalous readings.

[Ash] But what are they doing

bunched together like that?

Pika.

[chattering]

-Geo...

-Pika.

-Geo. Geo.

-Pika?

Pika! Pika!

Pika! Pika!

-What's that, buddy?

-A Spark Stone!

-What's a Spark Stone?

-What's a Spark Stone?

It's a stone found in this area

that has electric properties.

When it's hardened under the pressure

of magma, it absorbs electricity.

I've heard that Geodude and Graveler

like the taste, so they eat it.

In other words, you're saying the anomaly

is from the Graveler and Geodude

gathering to eat the stones.

You've got it!

If it's happening all over Wela Volcano,

then that's it!

-Pika!

-[Kiawe groans]

What's wrong?

They don't usually gather here.

I've never seen Geodude

or Graveler in this area.

Hm?

Normally, they all live deep underground

in the back of the mines.

They can get loads of Spark Stones

down there.

-But they're here.

-[man] Look at all the Graveler!

-Who's that?

-Pinsir, let's go!

-[chattering]

-[Pinser hisses]

[chattering]

Good work! Send them all packing!

[chattering]

[grunting]

I see a Spark Stone! Yeah!

You sure?

It's so tiny!

[groans]

[chattering]

Oh, this place is no good.

Should have hit the mines first.

-Let's go.

-Stop right there!

-You two, what are you doing here?

-Marowak!

-You've got eyes.

-What does it look like?

We're digging up Spark Stones.

But the Graveler were there first!

Now don't tell me they own the place,

do they?

Why you...

These stones come naturally

from Wela Volcano.

So, they belong to all of us, right?

No, you're wrong!

You keep your nose out of this!

Pinsir, shut him up!

Do it using Thrash!

[growling]

Marowak! Flare Blitz!

[grunting]

[groans]

Pinsir! You'll pay for this! [grunts]

Marowak!

[chattering]

Everything's okay now.

Didn't those guys say

they were going to the mines?

Bet they're planning to do the same thing.

And that's not good.

-Let's go there, too.

-[Ash] Right!

[hammering]

[grunting]

Huh?

[grunting]

Oh, great!

I knew the mine was the right place!

[laughs]

It's a Spark Stone mother-lode.

[laughing] Let's get them all!

Right!

Hey! Isn't that one there?

[mumbling sadly]

No. They're gonna dig up

all of the Spark Stones!

Unforgivable!

[Sophocles] But what could they want

with a whole bunch of Graveler food?

-[men] They sell it!

-Huh?

If you want to know about Wela Volcano,

ask us!

What do you know about this?

Here's the deal.

Spark Stones are the latest rage.

To make Spark Stone necklaces!

Or to simply spark up your energy.

Wait. Those stones aren't cheap.

Order now and we'll also throw in

a bracelet and ring for free!

Wow! Free's good!

Now you understand!

Those rock hunters are searching around

for Spark Stones!

And they've come to the Wela Volcano mines

to find them.

What did you say?

That's why the Geodude and Graveler

were forced to the surface?

Unforgivable!

-Pika.

-What was that?

Well, don't look at me!

-[Kiawe] The tunnel's blocked off.

-[Sophocles] Did it cave in?

[distant scream]

-Someone's in there!

-We've gotta save them!

It's the rock hunters

getting what they deserve.

They're giving us nothing but a hard time!

[grunting]

Won't budge.

You just leave it to me!

Metang!

[grunts]

Metang! Clear the rocks away!

[grunting]

Awesome!

Metang, now that's how you do it!

[grunts happily]

-[gasps]

-Oh, so hot!

[all chattering]

I could sure go for some ice cream.

This repressive heat

is making my circuitry shut down.

The heat from the magma's really built up.

-[gasps]

-What is it, Ash?

[wheezing]

[wheezing]

[kids' voices] Who's that Pokémon?

It's... Graveler!

[Graveler grumbles]

[Kiawe] Wake up. Snap out of it!

What happened to you?

[groaning]

-Huh?

-Huh?

[grunts]

It's that one! It just--

It just went boom!

Shocking, then zapping, then boom!

What are you talking about?

See, we managed to dig up

a few Spark Stones

and suddenly, it just came rushing in

with a loud boom!

[Ash] Rushing in?

First, it was shocking,

then it was zapping, then boom!

[gasps]

[all yelling]

[Ash] Whoa!

[both scream]

Marowak, use Bonemerang!

Marowak! [grunting]

[all yelp in fear]

-That's it!

-It's here!

Huh?

[chattering]

[thuds]

[both whimpering]

First shocking, then zapping, then boom!

[grunts]

Let's get out of here!

[whimpering]

-Hey, Ash, over there!

-[gasps]

Golem?

[Rotom] Golem, Alola Form.

The Megaton Pokémon.

A Rock and Electric type.

It uses electricity

to launch rocks and stones

and its eyebrows and mustache

are gathered iron filings.

[yelps]

-[all screaming]

-Pika!

-That was so scary!

-It's gone beyond angry.

If we don't stop it,

the cave will collapse!

[grunting]

-Marowak!

-[grunts]

[groans]

-Marowak, no!

-Maro...

-Togedemaru!

-[screeches]

Pikachu!

Pikachu!

[Ash] It's out of a*mo now! Come on!

Okay, Pikachu, use Iron Tail! Go!

Pika! Pika!

Togedemaru, use Zing Zap!

[shouting]

[grunts]

Geodude!

-[grunts]

-[both gasp]

-Maro!

-Pika!

[groans]

[screaming]

[both grunting]

-Pikachu!

-You've gotta hang in there!

[laughs]

[grunting]

[grunting]

[grunts]

[both shout]

[groaning]

Whoa, Metang!

[grunts]

[growling]

[growls]

[grunts]

You can do it, Metang!

[chattering]

[grumbles]

[mutters]

[both growl]

Metang needs to keep it as close

as possible.

-Stay in close range, okay?

-Do it, Metang!

[all chattering]

[grunting]

[chattering]

[both growling]

-Pikachu! Pika Pika!

-[cheering]

[growls]

[chattering]

[growls]

Let them have it, Metang!

Go on and show them

who's the boss, Metang!

You can do it, Metang!

[both grunting]

[chattering]

[grunts]

[all gasp]

-Metang has...

-...Golem's eyebrows.

[gasping]

[grunts]

[chattering]

So, what's going on?

Metang's thick eyebrows are a sign

of strength to the Graveler and Geodude.

If so, then the greater the eyebrows,

the more suited to being

a powerful leader a Pokémon will be!

[roars]

[both grunt]

It's on top of its head!

[chattering]

[grunts]

[gasps]

[gibbers]

[gibbers]

[grunts]

[groans]

[grunts]

[chatters victoriously]

[chattering]

[groans]

Yeah, Metang's the winner!

All right!

A fiery, passionate leader

which Wela Volcano deserves.

[chatters]

[gasps]

[both chatter happily]

[Rotom] That's the great friendship

that comes from a great battle!

[clicks]

[Kiawe] The magnetic anomalies were caused

by the Graveler and Geodude.

They were chased out

by rock hunters looking for Spark Stones.

That's incredible.

Then I'll immediately call for an increase

in patrols around Wela Volcano.

Great, Ultra Guardians. I'll be in touch.

More patrols, huh?

But that may be too much for

Officer Jenny to handle by herself.

-If you need Wela Volcano patrols...

-Just leave that to us.

We'll take care of it!

Wela Volcano is home!

We know it well,

like the back of our hands!

Because we're...

-Hi...

-...kers!

-[gasping]

-No way!

I get it.

These hikers just might be

the perfect people for the job.

[chattering]

All right, do your duty, hikers!

-Count on it!

-We'll protect Wela Volcano!

And do it with style!

[Kiawe] We're counting on you three!

[gasps]

What's going on?

[laughs]

[Ash] It's the Golem from before!

-Whoa!

-It wants to be...

Caught by the three of us!

[growls happily]

[laughing]

-[all gasp]

-Pika!

You just caught a Golem!

-Golem!

-Now it's a friend of ours!

Magmar, you've got a new friend!

[laughing] We love our Pokémon!

[narrator] With that,

Wela Volcano is back to normal.

And the Graveler and Geodude

can go back to feasting on Spark Stones.

Great news, as the journey continues.

[kids' voices] Where are you going, Eevee?

[laughs]

Eevee!

-[squeaks]

-Eevee!

Eevee!

[shouts]

[laughing]

Eevee!

[chattering]

Eevee!

[squeaks]

[squeaks]

Eevee!

[laughs happily]

Eevee!

Eevee.

[squeaks]

Eevee!

-Eevee!

-[squeaks]

[squeals happily]

-Eevee!

-[squealing]

Eevee!
