[Ash] Z-Move Showdown!

[fizzles]

You said Guzzlord?

That's the Ultra Beast you battled

in a parallel world!

-Right! Wait. How'd you know about that?

-Uhhh... from Kukui.

I, I heard it from Professor Kukui.

If Ash's reports are correct,

it's extremely dangerous.

-Everyone must evacuate.

-Ultroger.

Engaging. [clicks]

[clanging]

Preparations complete.

-Pardon my t*rd.

-Not a problem.

Alert!

[Lusamine]

This Ultra Beast is extremely dangerous.

Do not panic,

but move to the harbor immediately.

I repeat, do not panic,

but move to the harbor immediately.

Ash, they're going to need a hand.

Can you help them out?

-Sure!

-I'd like to help, too.

-[all] Mm-hm.

-Me too.

-That's wonderful. Thanks!

-[all] Huh?

[roaring]

[thumps]

-Hm? What's that?

-Pika.

[explodes]

[cackles]

[cackles]

Time's up, folks!

-Team Rocket…

-Will now pilfer all of your Pokémon!

Ah! Wobbuffet.

[thumps] [screaming]

Why am I not surprised?

Please stand back, everybody.

We kahunas will handle the situation.

The rest of you, help the others.

Wait a sec! I know Guzzlord's weak spot.

Tell us, please!

-[roaring]

-Hmm.

[Dia] Guzzlord has a weak spot.

That second face above its huge mouth.

[Olivia] You mean at the top?

[Ash] Right. Aim your attacks there

and it should go back where it came from.

-Right.

-That should make things much easier.

-Take care of the spectators.

-[Masked Royal] Got it!

That jumbo Pokémon is a new one to me.

Enough chitchat!

When I say catch them all,

I mean catch them all!

Off we go!

[James] Use Double Edge!

[whirring]

[thumping]

[roaring]

[screaming]

It was like we weren't even there!

[roaring]

I don't want to be on the menu!

You got any other moves up your sleeve?

Now use Baby Doll Eyes!

[roaring]

[fizzles]

-Looks like it's still got an appetite!

[whirring]

[squeals]

[thumps]

[growls]

Bewear in the house!

[roaring]

-I'm dizzy!

-Bewear's got some throwing arm!

[screaming]

-[splashing]

-[grunts and squeals]

-We'd better get up there!

-[all] Hmm.

[Kiawe] This way, please!

Please, head to the harbor.

Don't worry. There's no need to panic.

There's room for everybody!

-You're almost there!

-Please stay calm!

Over here! This way!

[Mallow] [Lana]

Has everyone evacuated?

[Lillie] Leave any personal items behind!

[alarm blares]

Don't tell me. There's another

Ultra Wormhole about to open!

Another? One's enough!

-Location?

-Let's see.

Right above the mall!

-What is that?

-An Ultra Wormhole.

-What does that even mean?

-[whirring]

[roaring]

-[thumping]

-[gasps]

There's another Guzzlord?

I'll stay here, Kiawe.

You and Hau get away.

Not on my watch!

-I would never desert a good friend!

-He's right.

[grunts] Hmm.

-[Gladion] Do what you want.

-[roaring]

[ticking]

There are two Guzzlord in the vicinity

of Manalo Stadium.

Connecting to stadium

surveillance cameras.

[whirring]

-[Lusamine] Evacuation update, please.

-Almost everyone is on board.

-Are you sure you're gonna be all right?

-Promise!

We'll get that Guzzlord

back inside the Ultra Wormhole!

-I'll be right here with him.

-But…

-[whirring]

-Aah!

-My stars! What is that?

-It's an Ultra Wormhole!

Then that must mean

there's another one here?

[whirring]

Another Guzzlord.

And this one looks really huge!

[roaring]

[splashing]

Aah!

[grunts]

[roaring]

What about the boats?

-Let's get over there.

-Right!

[all] Who's that Pokémon?

[all] It's Machop!

Machop!Machop.

[roaring] [thumping]

[squeaking]

[groaning]

[thudding]

-That was some right hook!

-Hold the phone!

If we don't do something,

Bewear is going to whisk us all away!

Without even one Pokémon

to take to headquarters

and donate to the boss!

Talk about a disaster!

"Gonna catch them all"

will be "gotta get a new job!"

-Let's make like a tree and leave.

-Huh?

[all] Slowly we turn, step by step,

inch by inch!

-[squeaking]

-[groans]

Ah! [whimpers]

[whimpering]

[thumps]

-[groans]

-[all] No! Bewear!

-[groaning]

-[roaring and thumping]

[groaning]

Oh, the emotional impact

of seeing somebody

give their all

for one who's truly in need!

All this self-sacrifice is dehydrating!

Protecting the world from devastation is

what Team Rocket does,

-and the world needs protecting right now!

-[all] Yow!

[roaring]

[whimpers]

[roaring]

The "aaaaaagh" of the Ultra Beast,

the call of the wild!

This is no time for the meek and the mild!

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!

[roaring]

[blasts]

[roaring]

[all]

We're blissfully off with a new blast.

[squeaking]

Wobbuffet!

[roaring]

All right! Here we go!

[roaring]

[thumping]

Right, I'll get Guzzlord off-balance.

Got it. Then we know what to do.

We'll aim for its weak spot.

Lycanroc, use Stone Edge!

[screams]

[groaning]

Turtonator, use Flamethrower!

Turto!

Decidueye, use Razor Leaf!

Decid!

[roaring]

-[gasps]

-We've got to deal with those arms.

Decidueye's Spirit Shackle

just might work.

-So could Turtonator's Focus Blast!

-Got it!

Then Lycanroc's Z-Move should blow it

back into its Ultra Wormhole.

-You're kidding!

-Wait, what's wrong?

The Ultra Wormhole!

No. It can't be!

[Nanu] The Ultra Wormhole is shrinking!

[all] Oh!

Decidueye, Spirit Shackle!

[trilling]

[roaring]

Turtonator, use Focus Blast

and pour it on!

Turto!

[firing]

Let's go, Lycanroc!

[roaring]

-Ah!

-Aah!

[roaring]

[all screaming and groaning]

[groans]

[thumping] [roaring]

[whimpering]

Tsareena, Magical Leaf!

Primarina, Sparkling Aria!

Vikavolt, Zap Cannon!

-Tsareena!

-Primari!

Hyah!

[bangs]

-Are you all right?

-Lillie.

Sophocles, Lana, Mallow!

You're just in the nick of time.

Look out!

-It's seven to one.

-[all] Mm-hm.

[roaring]

Mudsdale, use Bulldoze!

[neighing]

[thumping]

[roaring]

-Lycanroc, use Rock Slide!

-Ra!

-Now, Persian, use Dark Pulse!

-Persian!

[roaring]

-Hariyama, use Arm Thrust!

-Hari.

-Hariyama!

-[blasts]

[roaring] [thumps]

Oh, it's still not enough.

[roaring]

[all struggling]

[whirring]

-[all] Huh?

-It's Tapu Koko!

Tapu Lele!

Tapu Bulu!

And Tapu Fini!

It appears you've all come to protect

Alola in its time of great need.

Island Guardians, I apologize,

but we have a request.

We ask that you stop the Guzzlord!

Do that, then we can combine our Z-Moves

and send the Guzzlord back

into its Ultra Wormhole!

[roaring]

[roaring]

[whirring]

-They stopped it!

-Now, it's our turn.

[all] Hmm.

I am the kahuna!

I make the wills of myself, Melemele,

and Tapu Koko as one!

I am the kahuna!

This is the moment when our strengths

combine into one!

Hari!

-And now, use All-Out Pummeling!

-Hariyama!

That roar, the heartbeat of life.

The echo that pierces the skies above

and ground below!

[howling]

Go!

-[growling]

-Use Continental Crush!

-[firing]

-[thumping]

Now, allow yourself to be enveloped

in the darkness!

[grunting]

Use Black Hole Eclipse.

[screams]

[roaring]

Great root, winding around Poni Island,

I implore you!

Grant us your awe-inspiring power!

Use Tectonic Rage!

[neighing]

[thumps]

[whirring]

[blasting]

[roaring]

[zooms]

[both sigh]

-Give it all you've got!

-[all] Right!

-Vividly shining light, take flight!

-[grunts]

-Show us the ultimate strength!

-[grunts]

Carve the greatest name

into this b*ttlefield!

-Now, use Devastating Drake!

-[grunts]

The zenith…

…of my mind,

of body and spirit!

Like the great mountain of Akala,

become a raging fire and burn!

Turto!

Use Inferno Overdrive!

Turtonator!

Ruler of the silent forest, Decidueye!

All right! Use Sinister Arrow Raid!

[trilling]

[trilling]

-The quiet falling of snow from the skies!

-[grunts]

Crystals of water constantly shimmering!

Blanketing the world

with their frosty Z-Power!

Together with my fiery spirit,

now rise up into the vast sky once again!

[screaming]

Use Subzero Slammer!

[screams]

[expl*si*n] [screaming]

Feel it. The breath of nature,

the grasslands and the forests!

Now, it's time to use Bloom Doom!

Tsareena!

[grunts] Embraced by the sea!

-Primarina!

-Here we go.

Past the ocean's horizon!

-Prima!

-Use Oceanic Operetta!

♪ Primari ♪

All of our systems are in total sync!

Now, programs ready... run!

[powering up]

Now, use Savage Spin-Out!

[powering up]

[blasts]

[expl*si*n]

[expl*si*n]

-[sighs] We did it.

-We really did!

-All right! [laughs]

-Tsareena.

Primarina.

[laughing]

-[roaring]

-[Royal] There's no time.

-Let's finish this right now, Ash.

-Right!

You're up next! [grunts]

[grunts]

-Lucario!

-Pikachu.

First off, Lucario's attacks

will get Guzzlord's attention.

-And then?

-Pikachu and I will stop it in its tracks!

-Pika Pika!

-Close Combat, let's go!

-[grunts]

-[roaring]

-Now, Pikachu, use Electroweb!

-Pika! Pika Pika! Pikachu!

-Huh?

-[roaring]

Lucario, use Dragon Pulse!

[powering up]

Aah!

[blasts] [expl*si*n]

[groaning]

[roaring]

[splashing]

Lucario, use Close Combat

to push it back in!

-[grunts]

-[roaring]

[thumping] [groans]

Lucario! [groans]

No way.

Even Lucario's attacks

couldn't push that big thing back.

Sorry. I don't have any Pokémon

who can use Electric-type attacks.

Bibi. The Ultra Wormhole!

But how can we return Guzzlord

to its own dimension?

Hold on.

-Hm?

-What's that?

[whirring]

-[roaring]

-Pika.

Pika Pika!

-[roars]

-Pikachu.

Pika Pika!

It can't be. Are you Poipole?

-[yelping]

-Awesome! You evolved!

Could it be the Poipole we knew before?

Poipole has evolved into Naganadel

and come back to us!

[cackles]

[roaring]

Quick, Ash! Watch out!

[powering up] [blasts]

[roaring]

That's so awesome

that you learned Thunderbolt!

Naganadel. [squeals]

In that case, Naganadel might be able

to use Gigavolt Havoc with me.

Naganadel, will you lend me your power?

Naganadel.

-Awesome! Here we go!

-Pika!

Let's do this, Naganadel.

[powering up]

[both]

All right, here we go at full power!

[both]

Use Gigavolt Havoc!

[both roar]

[roaring] [blasts]

-[whirring]

-[splashing]

[grunts] Pika!

[groaning]

[groaning]

[whirring]

[roaring]

[whirring]

[all gasp]

[zooms]

-We did it!

-Mission accomplished!

Pika Pika!

[hissing]

Masked Royal! Ah!

Thanks for your help.

That was a… oh!

Professor?

[all scream]

[narrator] So, the Masked Royal's

true identity has finally been revealed.

Is this Professor Kukui's

most vulnerable moment?
