22x24 - The Secret Princess!

[bunniefuu]

[Ash] That should do it!

It's time for breakfast!

[yelping]

[narrator] Well, well, as always,

Ash and his Pokémon

are a having lively morning, indeed.

But where are Rowlet and Meltan?

Hey! Time for breakfast, you two!

Breakfast time.

[chuckles] Alola!

[cooing]

Hey, Rowlet? Do you know where Meltan is?

[coos]

[gasping]

Meltan, you're not supposed to eat this.

I already made you

a super-yummy breakfast!

[chatters]

Oh, would you look at that?

An expl*si*n of smiles!

Professor Kukui,

Meltan got into the frying pans again.

It ate another one?

Burnet's not going to be happy about this.

That's the fourth pan so far.

Don't worry! I saved it!

[gasps] Don't scare me like that!

-Hold on. Where is Professor Burnet?

-At Aether Paradise.

Lusamine asked her to help out

with something there.

[Faba] Not that, please!

Not that, either.

Young Master Gladion!

Please be more careful handling those!

Are my father's research files really here

or not?

I guarantee that they're all here!

After the accident,

I was the one who brought

Professor Mohn's files here myself

Lusamine tried to halt his research,

what else could I do?

Mother did what?

She tried to hide all that research

on the Ultra Wormhole?

Hard to believe.

I'm sure it is.

When prof passed away, she was shocked.

[both] But Father is alive!

Of course! You can't imagine

how happy I was when I heard the news!

[sobbing]

[Faba] Tissue. Tissue. Look at this!

How this brings me back.

[Lillie] Father.

[Ash] The Secret Princess!

Professor Mohn was a brilliant engineer.

He led our research team with his talent

and inspirational leadership skills!

Darling!

[gasping]

Darling! No!

Mohn.

Where. Where are you now?

-[knocking]

-Huh?

Come in.

[Wicke] Excuse me.

I checked with all

the Aether Foundation offices

for any possible leads

including the other territories.

So tell me. What did you find?

I'm sorry to report

I couldn't find any promising leads.

-But we've just started looking.

-That's true!

How about you?

Did you find Professor Mohn's

research files?

Faba's looking for them right now.

Gladion and Lillie are helping too.

They're both in high spirits!

That's for sure!

-Mother! [panting]

-[gasps]

-Father's still alive. Father's alive!

-[gasps]

Hapu said it!

The Poni Island kahuna told us so!

She said the reason we didn't see him

in Tapu Fini's mist is because he's alive!

[laughs]

I've never seen Gladion so happy.

It was wonderful!

That was the moment when I realized

that I had made a big mistake.

What do you mean?

Ever since the accident,

I haven't said a thing.

I've regretted not telling them anything

about Mohn.

With all of my sadness,

it didn't even occur to me

how much they must miss their father.

-[gasping]

-Mother!

Please come with me.

I want to show you something.

We can take care of all of this.

Right, Wicke?

-Of course!

-[gasping]

-Welcome home, everyone.

-Thank you.

[gasps]

[gasping]

[gasping]

What's this?

This room... belonged to your father.

[gasping]

I remember this place.

[Lusamine] Mohn was a passionate man.

As a researcher, father, and husband.

He was wonderful,

you couldn't help but admire him.

He was also an optimistic dreamer

who believed in fairy tales.

Lillie? Gladion?

Until your father returns,

I'll let you look after his room.

-[gasping]

-You want us to?

What a fantastic idea, Madame Lusamine.

Thank you, Hobbes.

[gasps]

[gasps] Gladion, look!

A Z-Ring?

He said it was a gift from Hala,

the island kahuna.

He received it around the time he moved

to Alola

to begin research

on the Ultra Wormhole.

Incredible.

Your father was also a skilled Trainer,

in addition to everything else.

What happened to Father's Pokémon?

You see, it's just after the accident,

I'm afraid I don't know.

If only my mind

had been clearer back then.

You were in a horrendous state of shock

with all the events.

It just couldn't be helped.

Yes. But his Pokémon

was in as much shock as I was.

After all,

its partner suddenly just disappeared.

And, yet, I was lost in my own sadness.

I had no ability to see things clearly.

If things had been different,

I might have realized

that there was a real possibility

Mohn could very well be alive.

[Lillie] Mother.

I was still a baby back then,

so I don't really remember anything

about Father or the accident.

But now, I understand!

How you must have felt awful!

Please, Mother. Don't blame yourself.

Thank you, dear. [laughs]

You two were the ones who kept me going.

Rambunctious Gladion and my baby girl!

-[laughs]

-[gasps]

I am not a baby anymore!

Aw, why do children always

have to grow up so fast?

[chuckles]

Lillie?

Until we find Father,

why don't you hold on to this?

-You mean me?

-That's a great idea.

Just talk to the island kahuna, sis.

Sure.

[gasping]

See? It looks like I'm going to take care

of this Z-Ring.

What do you think?

[sniffing]

Oh, Snowy's quite eager

for that to happen!

This is great!

I'm going to have a talk with Hala!

Is something wrong?

[all] Who's that Pokémon?

It's Magearna!

Well, if it isn't Magearna!

Magearna was very precious to Master Mohn.

-Magearna?

-Yes.

Master Mohn once told me

that it's an Artificial Pokémon

made by a scientist

from a lost kingdom from long ago.

An Artificial Pokémon.

When your father discovered it,

it was apparently covered in rust,

lying in the corner of an antique shop.

Lillie, dear?

What compelled you to open this door?

Well, I'm not really sure.

A legend that says Magearna

was originally created

to look after the kingdom's princess.

So, when your father discovered it,

he was certain it was fate at work.

Why fate?

Because a princess had just been born

into our family.

[gasps]

Mohn did his best to try

and make Magearna move, but couldn't.

So it stayed.

That's why our princess

never got her present.

A present for me.

It was a gift from my father!

[all gasping]

You're telling me

this is your dad's Z-Ring?

That's incredible!

-I hope they find your father soon!

-Thank you, Kiawe!

Lillie is planning to visit Hala,

so she can talk

about her father's Z-Ring.

-Isn't that right?

-How come?

I'm going to ask if it'd be

okay if I could use the Z-Ring

just until my father is finally located.

[gasps] What a wonderful idea!

I don't know if I have the qualifications

to use it.

I'll go with you!

I'm going to cheer you on!

-Me too!

-Same here!

-You can count me in.

-I'll go too!

Well, why don't we all go together?

A real educational field trip!

I remember very well

when I gave the Z-Ring to Mohn.

He was calm and collected.

When he gave orders, he was very precise.

When it came down to it,

he was a man who fought heated battles.

I'd love to have a battle with him!

Let's have a welcome home party

here when he returns!

That sounds great! Now, Lillie.

Tell Hala what's in your heart.

-Just like an Aurora Beam!

-Right!

-Go for it!

-We're all right here with you!

-Take a breath and relax!

-Just be who you always are!

You go for it, Lillie!

[laughs, then exhales]

Kahuna Hala?

Yesterday, my mother showed me

my father's room for the very first time.

I don't really remember him,

but I was able to feel his love,

which made me very happy,

and at the same time,

it made me realize something important.

I want to find him, no matter what!

To do that.

I want to become much, much stronger!

Snowy understands.

Snowy knows how important this is to me.

I'm sure of it!

So, until the day my father comes back,

I want to become stronger with his Z-Ring.

And by using this Icium Z.

I want to work hard and use

a Z-Move together with Snowy!

Please tell me,

how can I get your permission?

My dear, your heartfelt wish

has touched me deeply.

Therefore, standing before me,

I want you to use

the Z-Move Subzero Slammer.

-[gasping]

-Right now?

[grunts] Yes.

I understand! I'll do my best!

[groaning]

-Let's go for it, all right?

-[yells]

That's the spirit!

Keep it down! Lillie needs to concentrate!

Sorry.

-All right, are you all ready, Lillie?

-All set!

Snow that quietly falls

from the sky above.

Countless ice crystals.

Sparkling brightly.

The chilling Z-Power covering the world.

Along with the fire in my heart.

Climb up to the sky once again!

[yells]

[gasping]

-Subzero Slammer!

-[gasps]

-So close!

-She really had it going there.

Don't worry, Lillie!

If you keep training,

you'll become stronger!

Then you'll be able to use the Z-Move!

You should listen to Ash!

Remember the Pokémon League!

We're gonna train for it!

I'm gonna work hard!

Watching you makes me want to use

a Z-Move!

We could all see your Z-Power!

That on its own was amazing!

-Right, Shaymin?

-Shaymin.

-You...

-[gasps]

[chirping]

Snowy! No, no!

It's not your fault we weren't able

to use it!

It's my lack of strength.

-Really!

-[gasps]

It's the truth! I'll work harder. Promise!

Then, I'll get a lot stronger!

Will you work with me?

[giggles]

You were closer than you think!

I saw something.

Your attempt allowed me to see

a small portion of your Z-Move.

Therefore, I hereby grant you

special permission to use that Z- Ring!

-[gasps]

-[laughs]

You can think of it as a temporary permit.

Kahuna Hala! Thank you so very much!

I promise I'll work as hard as I can

to be able to use my father's Z-Ring!

Yeah, all right!

-I'm so happy for you!

-That was so generous, Hala!

There's no doubt the Z-Ring chose Lillie.

Every once in a while,

you find the right thing to say!

[laughing]

Train hard,

and once you feel able to use the Z-Move,

-come back and visit me again, Lillie.

-I will!

Magearna?

I'm allowed to use my father's Z-Ring.

Isn't that great?

You see, I'll work hard with Snowy

and get stronger!

[chirps]

And, Magearna?

I'd like to become friends with you.

I'm sure that's what my father

would have wanted for me to do anyway.

And I want to make it happen myself.

If a reunion with my father is possible.

-I want you to be there too.

-[chirps]

Snowy, what is it?

-[chirps]

-I wonder what this is.

[gasps]

Oh, Father.

[sobs]

[groans]

What's this?

-I thought I'd find you here.

-Mother! Gladion!

[Gladion] What did the kahuna say?

He's letting me use the Z-Ring.

Although it's just temporary.

-[Lusamine] Well!

-You'll need to train very hard!

And then I'll be able to use

the Z-Move as soon as I can!

[gasps] What's that?

I just found it here in Father's room.

It's a notebook Father kept that talks

about Magearna.

He kept track of every detail.

It's like looking

at Father's Magearna diary.

-Mohn kept a diary?

-Mother?

I'd like to take care of Magearna. Please!

Magearna may not be able

to move right now,

but I want to figure out a way

to make it move.

Like Father wanted to!

-[laughs]

-I understand.

-You know, you have become stronger.

-You really think so?

[laughing]

[Lillie] I visited an antique shop

in a village,

and for a brief moment,

I couldn't believe my eyes...

[Mohn] Magearna was lying

in the corner of the shop.

It was rusty, but there was no question,

it was Magearna.

Magearna is said to have been made

over years ago

by a brilliant scientist

from a lost kingdom.

At that moment, what came to my mind

was Lillie's adorable little face.

I said to myself, "It's fate.

I'll give Magearna to Lillie as a present.

A gift to my little princess.

Thank you, Father.

[narrator] Thanks to Professor Mohn's

Z-Ring and Magearna,

Lillie is starting to feel a strong bond

with her long, lost father.

New experiences are sure to take shape

as the journey continues!
