22x52 - From Z to Shining Z!

[bunniefuu]

With the battle between Ash and Kukui

growing more intense by the minute,

Torracat defeated Incineroar!

Then, moments after Torracat

evolved into an Incineroar,

it became motionless with exhaustion.

But just as Professor Kukui

was about to send out his last Pokémon…

Tapu Koko made an appearance,

insisting on having a battle with Ash!

Tapu Koko? It'd be awesome

to have a battle against you!

Koko!

There's never a dull moment around here.

So, shall we?

What about all of you?

Do you want to see Tapu Koko battle?

[cheering]

I wanna start out like this!

Naganadel.

[caster] Ash has brought out Naganadel!

[narrator] Tapu Koko, Melemele Guardian,

and Professor Kukui

may be Alola's strongest team!

Challenging them is the team of Ash

and the Ultra Beast Naganadel!

[caster] Wow, the entire b*ttlefield

has been charged with Electric Terrain!

Like an electric sea.

When battling in Electric Terrain,

the power of Electric moves increases.

Tapu Koko?

I'll be battling right along with you.

-Let's win!

-Ko!

-Okay, let's give it everything we've got!

-Naga, naga.

-Use Sludge b*mb!

-Naga…

-Dodge it, Tapu Koko!

-Koko!

-[thumping]

-So it used Steel Wing.

-Use X-Scissor!

-Naga!

-Use Steel Wing one more time!

-Koko!

-[trilling]

-Koko!

[caster] What speed and power!

The clash of powers between an Ultra Beast

and a Guardian is something!

Koko!

[Ash]

From Z To Shining Z!

-Koko!

-Naga.

[blast]

-Use X-Scissor again!

-Naga.

Use Dazzling Gleam!

Koko!

-Ko ko ko… Koko!

-[gasps]

-Now, use Steel Wing!

-Koko!

[crashes] [blast]

-Use Dragon Pulse!

-What?

Dragon-type moves shouldn't have

any effect on Tapu Koko,

a Fairy-type Pokémon!

-Naga!

-Koko!

[expl*si*n]

-[grunts]

-[grunts]

[trilling]

-[slashes]

-[grunts]

It used Dragon Pulse to conceal itself!

Such surprises. That's Ash!

[chuckles] That's just like him.

-Clever. Tapu Koko! Use Dazzling Gleam!

-[sparkles]

-Sludge b*mb, let's go!

-Naga! [blast]

-Get right in there!

-Ko… Koko!

-Discharge! Go!

-Use Thunderbolt!

-[trilling] Ko ko ko!

-[groans]

[gasps]

-[gasps] Naganadel!

-Pikachu!

[groans]

Naganadel is unable to battle!

[cheering]

[OFF]

[caster] Just as expected

from the Guardian

from the Ruins of Conflict!

Tapu Koko's speed and power

might be unrivaled!

Tapu Koko is very strong.

But Naganadel

really did give it everything.

Let's all cheer for Naganadel!

[laughs] You've got it!

[cheering]

[cheering]

Pika pika.

Thanks so much.

Being able to battle with you

in the League was awesome.

[Ash] You're the best!

Naga.

[cheering]

The extensive experience

of an Island Guardian was simply too much

for an inexperienced Ultra Beast

to deal with.

That's why it lost.

That's Professor Kukui for you!

Or should I say, the Masked Royal?

-Pikachu, it's all yours!

-Pika.

Pika, pika!

[caster] Now it's down to one Pokémon

for each contestant!

Get ready for Pikachu versus Tapu Koko!

After a battle with endless possibilities,

the victor will be the winner

of the best Pokémon

exhibition match I've ever seen!

Pika.

All right, battle begin!

-Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

-Pika!

Charge in using Dazzling Gleam!

Pikachu!

[crashed] Pikachu. Pika.

-Pikachu, you all right?

-Pika pika!

[laughs] That's the spirit!

-Use Quick Attack!

-Pika!

[panting]

[panting] [grunts]

Use Dazzling Gleam!

[trilling]

-Dodge it, Pikachu!

-Pika!

[crashes]

-Use Iron Tail!

-Pika!

-[grunts]

-Pika!

[trilling]

[caster] And Pikachu's Iron Tail

makes contact!

Hmm? Tapu Koko, Nature's Madness, now!

Koko!

-Defend with Electroweb!

-Pika!

Pika pika pika…

-[expl*si*n]

-[grunts]

[trilling]

-Use Quick Attack!

-Pika!

[trilling]

-Now's your chance!

-Go!

-Pika!

-[groans]

-[gasps]

-[crashes]

-Use Electroweb!

-Pika pika pika…

-Dodge it!

-Koko.

-[grunts]

-[trilling]

-Now use Thunderbolt!

-Pika!

-Discharge, go!

-[trilling]

-Pikachu!

-[expl*si*n]

-[gasps]

-My stars!

-[gasps]

-[gasps] Huh?

-[Professor Kukui] Ash?

-You've gotten stronger!

-Huh?

[Kukui] Even since

the League battles began.

You've grown and matured

by leaps and bounds!

-[gasps]

-Pika?

Check it out!

The professor says we're stronger!

Pika pika! Pika.

-Pikachu!

-[laughs] Huh?

-Oh, Tapu Koko…

-Ko ko ko!

You want me to use a Z-Move?

Ko, ko, ko!

You see, the problem is,

I just used my Z-Move with Incineroar.

-[warbling]

-Hmm? Now what?

-[warbling]

-Tapu Koko…

[caster] What's going on?

-[warbling]

-[caster] Tapu Koko's starting to sing!

[warbling]

[warbling]

-[warbling]

-[gasps]

[warbling]

[warbling]

[all] Who's that Pokémon?

[all] It's Golisopod!

Golisopod.

[warbling]

[warbling]

-[gasps]

-[warbling]

It's all four of the Island Guardians!

The harmonies they're producing

are exquisite!

This is amazing!

[warbling]

[warbling]

-[warbling]

-[gasps]

[gasps]

-A Tapu shower.

-Like a rainbow!

So warm.

-[gasps]

-Pika.

-Pika pika! Pikachu!

-[laughs] It's awesome!

Pika pika!

Maybe the Island Guardians are letting us

have some power!

[gasps] huh?

[grunts]

I guess that means we can use it again.

[gasps]

Koko.

Hold on. It's a…

Is that a Tapunium Z?

[Hala] There's a legend of a Z-Move

only Island Guardians are able to use.

[Kukui] Back when they saved Alola,

the Island Guardians

and some heroic people

used a legendary Z-Move.

You want us to use it? Right here and now?

That Z-Move?

Koko!

This ought to be amazing!

-Hey, Ash?

-Huh?

-Tapu Koko and I will be using a Z-Move!

-[gasps]

[Professor Kukui] You should use

a Z-Move too!

Pikachu.

[Kukui] Will you win this battle?

Or will Tapu Koko and I come out on top?

This will be a matchup of true power!

So it'll be all your power

against all ours.

[laughs] I like it, Professor!

What a great idea!

-Pikachu!

-Koko.

Yes.

[grunts] [chuckles]

[gasps] Handed down

from ancient oral tradition.

The legendary Z-Move!

People and Pokémon,

living together with nature.

Everyone existing in a time

when all is shared.

-The ultimate Z-Power!

-Koko.

-[rattling]

-Pikachu.

[rattling] [crashes]

[rattling]

-[gasps]

-[gasps]

-Incredible…

-Pika.

-[gasping]

-[rattling]

-[gasps]

-[trilling]

[gasps]

[rumbling]

[rumbling]

No way.

-[rumbling] [roars]

-Pika

What in the world is that?

-It's so big.

-Too big.

Now, hold on.

Is Ash supposed to battle that giant?

It's humongous!

-You can do it, Ash!

-Go get them!

[gasps] Huh? Huh?

-Pika.

-Huh?

Yeah? Well, okay!

Pikachu!

Let's show them what our power looks like.

-Yeah!

-Pika pika!

[taps]

-Hmm.

-Pika!

Right!

[trilling] Koko!

Much bigger than a Thunderbolt!

-Ten million Volt Thunderbolt!

-Pika pika!

Yeah, this is much, much bigger!

-At super-full power!

-Pika pika!

Tapu Koko! Use Guardian of Alola!

[roaring]

Pikachu, use million Volt Thunderbolt!

[crashing]

Pika pika…

Pika… chu!

[blast]

-[trilling]

-[screams]

-Pika…

-All right, here we go.

-Pikachu!

-At full power!

-[gasps]

-[gasps]

-Pika. Pikachu.

-Huh?

Hey, can you feel it, buddy?

-The power of Alola!

-Pika.

Ever since we got to Alola,

we've felt this power in different places.

[Ash] During our island challenge

with trials and grand trials.

We met tons of Pokémon.

Made new friends

and had lots of battles with rivals too!

And every time,

we've always felt the power of Alola!

And now, we're gonna become one

with that power!

Pika.

-Pika, pika, pika…

-[screams]

Pika, pika, pika…

[screams]

-Pickachu!

-[screams]

[gasps]

[grunts] [laughs]

[grunting]

Huh? Tapu Koko!

-[panting] Pika.

-[panting] Huh?

Pika. Pikachu.

Tapu Koko is unable to battle!

And the winner is Ash Ketchum!

[cheering]

-[sighs]

-Pika.

Pi-pika.

[cheering]

-Ash did it! Ash did it! [laughs]

-[cheering]

He actually won the match!

Against Professor Kukui and Tapu Koko!

-He did win, right?

-Yes. Yes, yes!

-He won, Kiawe! Mallow, Lana!

-[crying] Brilliant!

-So moving! Amazing!

-The greatest Champion ever!

What do you know? You did it, Ash.

Congratulations. Good job!

We actually won.

[laughs] Hey, buddy?

We won the whole thing.

-Pika.

-Hey, thanks. Thanks a lot.

Pika.

Pikachu.

[caster] Ash,

our Alola Pokémon League Champion

[caster] actually managed to win

the exhibition match

[caster] against Professor Kukui too!

Huh?

-[sparkles]

-Tapu Lele?

Pi…

-Pika. Pika! Pikachu!

-[laughs]

Pika pika!

-Pika! Pikachu.

-[laughs] We did it, Pikachu! We did it!

[chuckles]

[panting]

-Are you all right? Huh?

-[grunts]

-Koko!

-Tapu Lele.

-Tapu Koko…

-Ko…

Thank you. Good battle.

Ko!

-Pika, pika!

-Koko!

Tapu Koko! Professor Kukui!

Thanks to you both!

Congratulations to you, Ash.

[Hala] Could it be that this battle

was Tapu Koko's grand trial for Ash?

No, no. I would think it was more like

a pre-graduation test of some kind.

-Hey, Ash!

-Hmm?

Ash, congratulations!

-Hey, Mom! Professor Burnet!

-Pikachu!

-Pikachu too!

-One of the best bouts I've ever seen!

You were amazing!

Yeah! Really, really cool!

Kukui, Tapu Koko, Ash, and Pikachu!

-Thanks a lot!

-Pika, pika!

It was a good League, huh?

Good? It was the best!

You did a great thing!

-Thank you.

-Hmm?

But I'd say you were the best, though.

[laughs]

And I mean all of you!

-What do you say?

-Pikachu!

-Oh, don't let it go to your head!

-Koko!

-Who, me?

-Pikachu!

There's no one else around…

[narrator]

They won the Alola Pokémon League

and then, Ash and his Pokémon

won the exhibition match

against Professor Kukui!

Congratulations, Ash!

Congratulations, Pikachu!

As the journey continues!
