22x53 - Dreams of the Sun and Moon!

Post by bunniefuu »

[Ash] All right, dig in.

[all Pokemon gibber]

[narrator] After a win

at the Alola Pokémon League,

Ash and his friends are

enjoying a home-cooked meal.

[munching]

It's time for an update.

How Melmetal eats breakfast.

[chuckling]

It looks like they're able to swallow

quite a stockpile.

[Professor Burnet]

I just love a big family.

-[Burnet laughing]

-[gibbering]

What, Naganadel?

-Pika. Pika?

-[Ash gasps]

[Rotom] It's an Ultra Wormhole!

-[Ash] Huh.

-Pika.

[gibbering]

-Naganadel.

-Pikachu.

[Ash]

Dreams of the Sun and Moon!

Guess you gotta go home now, don't you?

[gibbering]

I see.

Of course you do, don't you?

[Ash] There are a lot of Poipole

waiting for you to come back, right?

[gibbering]

Pikachu.

You came back to save Alola,

to save us.

I'll never know how to thank you.

Your Thunderbolt is like nothing

I have ever seen before.

I hope we meet again.

Say 'hi' to everybody,

and the Blinding One.

[gibbering]

What do you say, buddy?

Let's send it off with a bang.

-Pika.

-All right, use Thunderbolt!

Pikachu!

[singing][electricity crackling]

-Bye, Naganadel!

-Pika Pika!

[bell tolling]

[Kukui] Now, make sure you

remember everything you've just learned.

-[all] Right!

-[Pokemon gibbering]

-[Ash grunting]

-[Sophocles humming]

Since we all have a vacation coming soon,

what are everybody's plans?

Oh, pick me! Pick me!

[Kukui] You're really fired up, Sophocles.

Big Mo and I are headed off

to Mossdeep City.

Mossdeep City? In the Hoenn region?

Right, we're going to check out

the Mossdeep Space Center.

Space Center? Then that means…

Mm-hm. You guessed it.

I'm going to be an astronaut someday.

-Astronaut?

-That's a cool dream you've got there.

Do you guys really think so?

So I'm gonna start doing my research.

-Wow, that's a big step to take.

-It's just one small step for me.

Small step? I think it's a giant leap.

Thanks, Kiawe. So, what kind

of vacation plans do you have?

Well, have a battle.

-And that battle's gonna be with Ash.

-Huh?

We never did get to have

our battle, did we?

So once again, Ash,

I challenge you to an all-out battle!

All right! Challenge accepted!

-Of course, I'm gonna win!

-But I won't lose!

-Well, I'm gonna win!

-It'll be me!

-Here we go. Oh, boy.

-Uh-huh.

All right, now. Let's settle down.

I'll look forward to hearing

about how your battle went.

-Right.

-Right.

Hey, what are you going to be up to?

I'll be helping my father

with ocean research.

So, what are you researching?

-Right here, Manaphy.

-[Sophocles and Mallow] Manaphy?

Your data's first-rate.

I hope you'll let me record it.

[Rotom] Manaphy,

the Seafaring Pokémon. A Water type.

[Rotom Dex] Manaphy emerges

from the depths of cold oceans.

It has the power to bond with any Pokémon

on a heart-to-heart level.

-Ah.

-[Lana chuckles]

I think I'm going to give the Family

Restaurant a little bit of a makeover.

I'd like a restaurant not only for humans,

but also for Pokémon to eat.

[all] Ah.

But before that, I've got a brand-new menu

for Pokémon to test.

-so, everyone, please come and try it.

-Tsareena!

As for me, I'm going to do whatever it

takes to awaken Magearna,

even if it takes my entire vacation

to do it!

[all] Ha.

You guys have some amazing plans.

So besides battling Kiawe,

what are you gonna do?

Huh? Who, me?

Now that you mention it,

I really haven't thought about it at all.

Hmm.

[birds chirping]

Pika?

Pikachu.

-Something wrong?

-I'm thinking about stuff.

[Rotom beeps] Ash is thinking?

You don't have to be surprised!

I mean, look, my island challenge

is over, right?

I'm just thinking about what to do next.

I guess I could catch some more Pokémon.

What do you think?

You know, that's a good question.

Hm?

It's for you to figure out.

-[laughs]

-[Ash groans]

-You can do it. You've got what it takes.

-Pika!

You are the Alola Pokémon League Champion.

[chuckles]

Hmm.

You've got plenty of time to figure

all of that out.

Mm-hm.

[cricket sounds]

[typing on keyboard]

[Sophocles] There it is. The Space Center.

Maru.

Vikavolt.

[giggles] This is exciting.

[sniffing]

Don't forget, Manaphy's a quick one.

-Hey, Lana!

-Hey, Lana!

You're really gonna catch Manaphy?

I'm going to help dad with research.

[both] Ma-mazing!

Eevee-vee!

[Mallow] Ta-da!

For the first time ever

at the Family Restaurant,

I present to you our Pokémon menu!

[all Pokemon gibbering]

We have your favorites, featuring

lots of fluffy Poni Radishes.

[all Pokemon munching]

-Say, “Ah.”

-Prima! [munching]

[chuckles]

It's like they haven't eaten in a week.

Now that's hungry.

-Maro!

-[Pokemon munching]

[both munching]

[grunting][metal clangs]

-Tsareena, Tsa.

-Shaymin.

What a relief.

It looks like everybody likes it!

They do. You somehow found

the perfect dish for everyone.

That's from when I worked at Oranguru's

place.

I learned everyone's favorite.

After that, the menu just popped

into my head.

Ever since, I've wanted anyone who comes

here to find something they love.

A menu that would put a smile on all

of their faces.

[all] Ah.

-Oh, I almost forgot.

-Huh?

Olivia told me she'd be happy to act

as our referee.

Wow, really? No joke?

[Kiawe] When I told her

about our upcoming battle,

she volunteered and said

we wouldn't have to wait until vacation.

-She'd do it tomorrow, if we want.

-Tomorrow?

I'm in! The sooner the better, for sure!

-Isn't it great?

-Mm-hm.

-Let's do it!

-Let's do it!

Say, how are things with Magearna?

Well, I've been trying everything

I can think of, but…

[clicking]

[metal squeaking]

-…nothing so far.

-Vulpi?

Don't quit. I know that everything

is gonna work out just fine.

Ash is exactly right.

Lillie, you've always been

the best at observing Pokémon

and understanding them.

Someday, Magearna will know

how you feel and respond.

[Lana] Just keep at it.

Hm.

-Thank you all so much.

-Vul.

[cricket sounds]

[Lillie] The Soul-Heart is the key.

Father wrote that over and over.

[clicking]

[clinking]

[clinking]

[screams] [crackling]

[chuckles]

[clicks]

[Snowy gibbers]

Huh.

[cricket sounds]

[birds chirping]

[Lillie exhaling]

[paper rustles] [Snowy gibbers]

-Huh?

-Vul.

[chuckles] Would you look at me?

I guess I just fell asleep. Huh?

Oh, Zoroark.

[expl*si*n]

Zard.

-Fire Punch!

-Use Accelerock!

[both growling]

[thuds][yelping]

[thuds] Ah.

[whooshing]

Use Stone Edge!

[roaring][thuds][rumbling]

Dodge it and use Aerial Ace!

[Charizard grunts]

[both grunting]

-Now attack using Bite!

-[Lycanroc growls]

[groaning]

Use Slash!

[Lycanroc groans]

Oh. [Lycanroc growls]

[thuds][panting]

[panting]

[panting]

[powers up]

Lycanroc, here we go!

[howling]

Who's that Pokémon?

It's Manaphy!

Lycanroc, here we go!

[howling]

Let's decide this. All right, Charizard!

[powers up][Charizard growls]

[Ash grunts]

[Lycanroc growls]

The zenith of my mind, of body,

and spirit!

Like the great mountain of Akala,

become a raging fire and burn!

[powers up]

All right, here we go!

[Lycanroc roars]

At full power!

[powers up]

[howling]

Use Splintered Stormshards!

[howling][rumbling]

Use Inferno...

[fire roars]

Overdrive!

[howling]

[powers up]

[grunts]

[roars]

[thuds][expl*si*n]

[firing][grunts]

[thuds]

[grunting]

[grunting]

[groaning][thuds]

[grunts]

[grunts]

Charizard, get up!

Can you stand, Lycanroc?

Huh. Hm?

Both Pokémon...

Are you okay, Lycanroc?

[snarls]

Hmm.

[groaning]

Charizard is unable to battle,

which means Ash is the winner.

Pika!

[groaning]

[groaning]

Lycanroc, you were great.

Lycanroc!

[Poke Ball sound]

Pika Pika!

-That was one incredible battle!

-Thanks, Rotom.

Charizard, you gave it your all.

I appreciate it. [Poke Ball sound]

Well, Ash, that was a great battle.

-Yeah.

-Pika!

I gave it everything I had, so no regrets.

[sobbing]

Oh, Ash and Kiawe, that was incredible!

Stupendous!

You're both the most incredible Trainers!

[wailing]

[Olivia] It's beautiful.

That means a lot. Thank you.

[sobbing] Hm.

Well? What's up next?

-What's up next what?

-Huh?

How are you going to continue

to get stronger?

I mean, both of you, hm?

It's just, I don't really know.

Kukui told me to figure it out for myself.

Well, I know. There are lots of things

I want to do.

I'll work towards my island challenge.

I want to have grand trials with Hala,

Nanu, and Hapu too.

I also want to be able to use more Z-Moves

and train hard and get much, much stronger

for the sake of protecting the fires of

Wela Volcano, just like my grandpa did!

You know what? It sounds like you want

to become a kahuna. Do you?

Are you saying your dream

is to actually become a kahuna?

It's so perfect for you.

-Oh, really?

-Of course it is.

Mm-hm.

If that's your goal, then you're going

to need to see the world.

See the world? You think so?

Getting to know what the world is like

is important.

You'll have a broader perspective

once you expand your horizons.

It will allow you to look at yourself

and find ways you can improve. Right, Ash?

[Pikachu yawns]

Huh?

As someone who came all the way to Alola

to train,

you already know that, don't you?

[birds chirping]

[door opening]

Hey, Lillie?

[Gladion] Lillie?

[Lillie] Huh? Gladion.

I was surprised when Hobbes suddenly got

in touch with me.

I'm sorry if I made you worry,

but I wanted Zoroark to see Magearna.

Zoroark?

Look at this.

[Lillie] I'm sure Zoroark was there

by Father's side

while he was doing all of his research.

Yes, that makes sense.

So I thought about it and realized

we could have a happy reunion.

A reunion between Zoroark and Magearna.

That sounds like something you'd think of.

[clicks]

Come out, Zoroark.

Zoro...

Ah.

[sniffing] Hmm.

Magearna, look. It's Zoroark.

You know each other.

[Lillie] Zoroark?

-[Zoroark] Ark.

-You see? It's Magearna.

[exhales]

Zoro. Ark.

-I knew it! You do remember.

-Yes.

Zo...

[magic chimes]

[both gasp]

Vul.

It's father, but how?

-One of Zoroark's illusions.

-Oh.

[babbling]

I'm here. You see?

Your Highness Princess Lillie,

right this way, please.

[babbling]

[giggling]

[babbling]

[babbling]

[babbling]

You sure were a curious one.

Hm? I was just a baby, remember?

Lillie, I want you and Magearna

to be great friends.

[babbling]

And, Magearna, as soon as you're moving

again,

please take care of Lillie.

Protect my princess, won't you?

She's my precious little lady, after all.

[babbling]

[grunting]

Whoa.

-We're home!

-Hi, everyone.

Oh!

Oh! Lillie, look at you!

-You can stand like a big girl!

-But when did this happen?

It happened just now,

just a few seconds ago.

[Lusamine] I missed it.

That crucial moment.

Good job, baby Lillie.

What a good girl. Good girl.

My darling father, I miss you.

-Vul.

-[Lillie] Huh?

[magic chimes]

Oh.

[all groaning]

[magic chime]

[groans]

Huh? Oh.

[both gasping]

Zoro.

[metal clanging]

[beeping]

[beeping]

Thank you so much...

Magearna.

[beeping]

You're awake.

You're finally awake. It's wonderful.

[beeping][metal clanging]

Oh, thank goodness. Magearna! [chuckles]

[beeping]

[Snowy gibbering]

[Olivia] Getting to know what the world

is like is very important.

You'll have a broader perspective

once you expand your horizons.

It will allow you to look at yourself

and find ways you can improve.

-[Olivia] Right, Ash?

-Huh?

As someone who came to Alola to train,

you already know that. Don't you?

-I've got it!

-[gasp]

I've decided I wanna go out

and see the world!

[beeping]

-Pikachu, what do you say we go home?

-Pikachu.

The world has more for us to see.

-There are tons more Pokémon out there.

-Pika Pika!

[narrator] Ash found the path he feels

he must follow.

But where will that path lead?

The answers to come,

as the journey continues.
