14x18 - Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!

Post by bunniefuu »

(Ash) 'So we walk through that forest until we get there?'

- Pika, Pika. - Wow, it's huge!

- Axew. - It's the Pinwheel Forest.

- So why is it called that? - Hm.

(Cilan) 'As long as we walk straight through it'

'we'll be out in no time, but if we wander off'

'we could find ourselves in a natural maze.'

Whoa! We'd better be careful then.

There's no way we're getting lost.

I happen to be a forest expert.

You're pretty sure of yourself.

- Iris. - Pika.

So the question is

will this path lead us out of here

or do we get lost in the maze.

- Let's go and see! - Pika, Pika!

(Ash) "Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!"

(narrator) As our heroes head to the Castelia City Gym

only the sprawling Pinwheel Forest separates them

from their destination.

It's so nice being in a lush forest!

The air is so fresh and the sunlight so bright

that this forest must be home to some amazing Pokemon!

I hope we come across a whole bunch of 'em!

Pikachu.

[grunting]

[groaning]

[screaming]

[both gasping]

- Pikachu! - Ah!

[groans]

[screaming]

[grunting]

[Ash and Pikachu groaning]

Huh?

[grunting]

[groaning]

- It's using Bug Bite! - Come on, Pikachu.

- Shake it off! - Pikachu!

- Ugh! - Pikachu, you okay?

- Pikachu. - Who's that Pokemon?

(Pokedex) Sewaddle, the Sewing Pokemon.

Sewaddle hides from its enemies by covering its head

'with a hood made from a leaf'

'and is known to eat its leafy clothing'

'when food is scarce.'

Sewaddle are really popular among clothing designers

because they know how to design

and make their clothing out of leaves!

And that's just part of why they're so cute.

I like a Pokemon who's strong in battle

so I'm gonna catch it!

[screaming]

[gasping]

[Ash screaming]

- Sewaddle. - Oh..

- Aah.. - Amazing.

Huh! Yeah! You're good, Sewaddle.

I like you even more now.

- Sewaddle, Sewaddle, Sewaddle. - 'Why would it attack us?'

(Cilan) 'Maybe it just likes to battle.'

- Pika! - Hey, thanks, Pikachu!

- Pikachu. - Now, Pikachu.

- It's time to use Thunderbolt. - Pikachu!

Pi-ka-chu!

[groaning]

- Pika. - Sewad.

- Hey! - It's getting away!

- Sewaddle, Sewaddle.. - 'Sewaddle!'

- Come back here! - Pika!

- Ash! Oh, no! - He's going off the path!

Guess we've got no choice.

We'll have to do the same thing!

[panting]

Sewaddle, Sewaddle..

Sewaddle!

- Stop, come back! - Pika, Pika!

- Stop! Oh, no! - Pika, Pi..

- Ash! - You okay?

[groans] I'm fine, I'm fine!

[grunts] Sewaddle!

Looks like Sewaddle got away.

Pika.

- Now what do we do, Ash? - Hm.

I wanna keep looking for Sewaddle, but I don't know.

This forest is a natural maze like we've never seen!

- It's too dangerous. - You're right.

We better get back on the path.

(Iris) 'That's really strange.'

We should be close to the exit by now.



Maybe it's the wrong way?

- No, it's right! - You're sure?

Of course! My sixth sense, silly. I just know.

More non-scientific explanations.

Well, when I get a hunch, it's usually right.

- Shh! - Huh?

I just heard the forest speak.

[tummy rumbling]

- Huh? - Man, I'm hungry. Sorry.

I think the forest's voice

was the sound of Ash's empty stomach.

Stop, smarty.

I know the forest's voice when I hear it.

- This way. - Huh?

- Ha-ha. - Pika, Pika.

Oopsie-doops.

(Ash) Forest's voice, huh?

Uh, the forest told us to come here

because it wanted to show us this magnificent scenery!

- Come again? - Whatever you say, Iris.

It looks like what they say about this forest is true.

We got off the path for one second and now we're lost!

The best thing to do at times like this

is get to higher ground and see where we are.

- Higher ground? - Right.

Hm. Over there!

- Huh? - 'She's right.'

(Cilan) 'We'll be able to see far from the top of that tree.'

- 'Let's go!' - 'Axew.'

- Pika.. - Wow!

(Ash) What an enormous tree!

(Iris) I'll go check it out!

- Wait! I'm coming! - You be careful!

Pika-Pika!

[panting]

[screaming]

Hm.

- Hm. What's up? - Pika.

(Iris) 'Maybe we should climb a little higher.'

Then let's go!

[all gasping]

- What is that thing? - Hey-hey!

You guys alright?

(Ash) 'There's something weird up here!'

- Something weird? - Argh!

[screaming]

- Shh! - Huh?

You don't want to scare the Forest Pokemon, do you?

- Huh? - Huh?

(Ash) I don't get it. What are you doing up there?

I surround myself with nature by living like a Forest Pokemon.

But what do you do that for?

Mm, if I tell you, will you understand?

It's my pure heart, that's what it is.

- Huh? - Really? Your pure heart?

(Cilan) 'Wow.'

I draw, I design pictures, clothes.

Honestly, I'm a super-talented artist.

A true genius who's stuck in a slump.

Oh? So even geniuses go through slumps?

- Shh! - Of course!

So I figured I might get some real inspiration

if I lived out here among the Forest Pokemon.

And that's why you've got a pure heart?

- Pika, Pika? - That's it!

A pure heart

makes for profound art!

- Okay. - I've talked enough about me.

So what are you doing in a place like this?

Well, we strayed off the path and got lost.

I see. Have no fear.

I can guide you out of here, but since you are here

why don't you enjoy living in the forest for a while?

The thing is, I want to go to Castelia City

and challenge the Gym!

Hyah!

- It's useless to go there now. - Huh?

After all, the Castelia Gym Leader, Burgh

just happens to be me.

[all gasping]

So you mean to tell us that you're Burgh

the world-famous Bug-Type Pokemon Trainer?

(Burgh) I'm not just any Bug-Type Trainer.

I'm an artistic Trainer.

(all) Wow!

I'm Ash Ketchum and I'm glad to meet you.

- And this is Pikachu. - Pikachu.

Hi there. I'm Iris!

And I'm Cilan, a Pokemon Connoisseur.

Pokemon Trainers traveling together

and expanding horizons! Hm.

Ah, yes, to remember those brilliant days of long ago

that will never return!

Youth! Innocence with a pure heart!

That's it. Eureka!

Hm, hm, hm.

What's the matter, Burgh? You feeling okay?

My artistic inspiration came and went.

And here I thought I had it

safely in the palm of my artistic hand.



Uh, pardon me, but I'm still trying to figure out

how you get this artistic inspiration back

by living out here like a Forest Pokemon.

I guess you could say it depends on the person.

When you live in the forest

surrounded by nature in its most primitive form

your dulled and long-forgotten senses come alive!

You realize how beautiful nature is

and you become one with the forest.

Old things become new and fresh.

[all gasping]

- Now I know what you mean. - Axew.

- Yeah! I finally get it, too! - Sewaddle!

[all groaning]

[chuckling]

That's, huh.. That's the Sewaddle from before!

- It is? - What, you know it?

(Ash) 'We got lost because I was trying to catch that Sewaddle.'

- Sewad! - Ugh, ah!

- Waddle. Sewaddle.. - Sewaddle's a bit stubborn.

But it's actually a very sweet Pokemon.

So, Burgh, is Sewaddle one of your Pokemon?

No. no. It's wild!

It's just one of the many discoveries I've made

while living and spending time here in the forest.

Wow, living out here with Forest Pokemon

sounds like it's a lot of fun!

It's very important for a Trainer to get to know a Pokemon

before they attempt to catch it.

How would you all like to join me?

- That sounds great! - Pikachu!

- Yeah! - Yeah!

Then I say, let's set up camp right here!

And I'll start getting ready for suppertime.

Before you even think about catching Sewaddle

you introduce yourself.

- Introduce? - So who do you have in mind?

- Why, to Sewaddle, of course. - Sewaddle.

Supposedly, Sewaddle are able to distinguish people and things

by using the two sensory knobs

located on the top of their heads.

[all gasping]

And that means, by touching your foreheads you're saying hi!

- Pika, Pika. - Sewa..

- Cool, Pikachu. - Axew.

- Do you want to say hi, too? - Axew!

- Axew. Axew. - Sewaa..

Great! It's my turn next!

Sewaddle, it's very nice to meet you.

Me, me, I wanna go next!

Hm. Nice to meet you, Sewaddle.

Sewaha! Sewaddle!

[groans]

- Ooh. - Ha-ha.

I guess that's what you get for trying to catch it

right off the bat!

- Hm. - Don't take it personally.

A Tackle is sort of like a hello.

Right! Sewaddle, it's really nice to meet you.

- Sewad. - Huh?

Off we go. Bye-bye!

[groans]

(group) Who's that Pokemon?

(group) It's Sewaddle!

(Sewaddle) Sewaddle.

[birds chirping]

- Sewa.. - Huh? What's wrong?

(Burgh) 'Sewaddle may look like it's just standing there'

but I'm sure it's doing something.

- Like, listening to the forest. - It could be.

- You might be right! - I am! Yippee!

Hm? Sewaddle's eating those leaves.

- Huh? - Sewa, Sewa, Sewa..

I guess it was wondering which leaf it should eat.

- Urgh! - Sewa, Sewa, Sewa..

Look, it's heading out again!

I wonder where it's going this time.

[yawns]

Nothing like a nap after a big meal.

So that means..

It's time for us to take a nap, too?

Exactly!

- Hm. - Ah.

Hm..

- Man, does this feel awesome! - Pika.

- Haven't done this in a while. - Yeah.

(Burgh) 'How does looking at the sky make you feel?'

(Iris) Beautiful blue dotted by white clouds.

- What a great day! - Pika, Pika.

And not only that.

Doesn't the sky look amazingly huge?

(Iris) 'Hm. Now that you mentioned it, yeah!'

(Burgh) 'Well, beyond that blue sky is outer space'

'infinitely huge!'

- 'Awesome!' - 'Pika.'

Wa-aa-ah!

- Huh? - It's awake!

Awake and on the move again.

[birds chirping]

Look at all that fruit!



It ate, slept and ate. So will it go to sleep again?

(Burgh) 'That's part of the life cycle.'

'It's the exact same thing with baby people, right?'

[Woobat grunting]

- Huh? - A Woobat!

It was eating, too!

[gibberish]

I think it's telling us to stay away!

They're gonna start fighting over the fruit!

[Woobat screeching]

It's using Double Team!

Sewaddle!

[screeching]

Sewa!

- Sewa! - Two of them?

[screeching]

Sewaddle, look out!

Whoa!

- Sewaddle! - Pika, Pi!

[groans]

Sewaddle!

[grunts]

[groaning]

Pikachu!

[groaning]

- Ash, no! - You alright?

- Pikachu? - Yeah, I didn't feel a thing.

- Sewa, Sewa, Sewa.. - Hm?

- Huh? - Huh?

- Sewaddle. - Is that fruit for me?

[gibberish]

Thanks a lot, Sewaddle.

(all) 'Let's eat!'

[birds chirping]

- Delicious! - Wow!

Your pasta and soup taste great together, Cilan.

And here's a fruit salad just for you.

Say, how did you know that dish is my favorite?

I am a Pokemon Connoisseur.

- Where's Sewaddle? - Sewaddle's eating, too!

Sewa-Sewa-Sewa..

(Cilan) 'What a magnificent view!'

(Ash) 'I've never slept in a treetop before.'

(Burgh) A delicious touch!

So how much have you discovered

since you began your journey, Ash?

Discovered?

(Burgh) 'When I was a child, the great beauty'

'of Bug-Type Pokemon captured my pure heart.'

'Since then I've drawn pictures of and battled with them'

'more times than I can remember'

but even to this day

I continue to learn new and marvelous things about them.

Yeah. Pokemon are awesome.

Look, a sh**ting star!

(all) Whoa!

(Burgh) What a sweet sight!

(Iris) 'Falling asleep under the stars is the best!'

Sewaddle, hang out!

[gibberish]

That's okay. Have a good sleep.

[instrumental music]

- Sewa.. - Hey, what's the matter?

- Huh? - Say.

That's a very unusual thing for a Sewaddle to do.

- Sewa-wa. - Pikachu.

(Ash) 'Okay, goodnight, Pikachu. You, too, Sewaddle.'

- 'Sewa-wa.' - 'Pi..'

[birds chirping]

(Pikachu) 'Piak-Pi! Pikachu!'

- Ah.. - Pikachu, what's wrong?

- 'Pika, Pika!' - Huh?

- Hm. - Pika, Pika!

Huh. Huh?

Hey-hey! Patrat's got Sewaddle!

[grunts]

(all) Where are you going?

[grunting]

Sewa?

Rah? Huh?

Sewaddle!

Sewaddle!

Huh?

[grunting]

It ran into that cave!

[groaning]

[screaming]

- 'Patrat.' - Patrat?

Where's Sewaddle?

[snarling]

Patrat.

I think I see another Patrat.

- Patra-a-at.. - It looks like it's ill.

Right, eating the type of leaf that Sewaddle wears

can go a long way to cure a Patrat's stomachache.

Which means Patrat brought Sewaddle back here

so it could help its sick friend get well.

- Here, take this. - Ow. Yuck.

It's bitter, but you'll feel better in no time.

- Patrat? - Patrat!



- Patrat? - Feel better, huh?

- Prat. Patrat. - Patrat.

No prob.

Wonder where Sewaddle went off to.

Pika..

- Ah-ah-ah! - A Deerling!

- But look who's with it! - 'It's Sewaddle!'

Sewaddle!

- Uh, uh.. - Pika!

- 'Oh, no, no!' - Oh, no!

(all) 'They'll go off that cliff!'

Use String Shot and aim for my arm, Sewaddle!

[grunting]

Now come towards me, Sewaddle!

[grunting]

[screaming]

Sewaddle! Urgh!

Sewaddle!

[splashing]

- Huh? - Let's follow them!

- Right! - Pika!

Hang in there, Sewaddle! I'm coming!

- Uh.. - Oh, oh!

Huh?

Sewaddle, don't give up!

[screaming]

Just a little more!

[grunting] Oh!

Leavanny, use String Shot!

Leavanny!

- Leavann! - Ugh!

Leavanny..

[water gushing]

[grunts]

- Alright! - Pika, Pi!

Thanks a lot!

- Sewaddle, you okay? - Sewad..

That's great!

But your clothes got messed up.

- Don't you worry about a thing. - Leavanny.

Who's that Pokemon?

[chirping]

(Pokedex) Leavanny, the Nurturing Pokemon

and Sewaddle's final evolutionary form.

Using sticky threads that come from its mouth

it makes clothes for Sewaddle by sewing leaves together.

- Wow! - Sewaa..

Okay, we'll use this.

Leavanny, can you make a new outfit using this leaf?

Leavann!

Sewaddle! Sewaddle!

Whoa! Sewaddle looks amazing!

Hm, I was quite impressed

with the way you rescued Sewaddle

in a totally unselfish way and with a pure heart.

Aw, thanks!

It looks to me like Sewaddle feels the same!

- Huh? - Sewad, Sewad, Sewaddle!

Hm. Wanna come with me, Sewaddle?

- Sewaddle! - That's great!

Then go, Poke Ball!

[buzzing]

Alright!

- I've got Sewaddle! - Pi, Pikachu!

Something's wrong with this Poke Ball.

- 'Ash?' - Huh?

That's your seventh Pokemon, right?

Uh, let's see.

Pidove, Oshawott, Tepig.

Yup! You're right! I've got seven of 'em.

That's why your Poke Ball isn't working.

When you're in a situation like this

you need to transfer one of your Pokemon!

There's a Pokemon Center right on the outskirts of the forest.

- I'll take you there. - Wow! You will?

[birds chirping]

Were you successful?

I called Professor Juniper

and she's taking care of it.

Alright! Sewaddle, come on out!

Sewaddle!

Nice to see you again, Sewaddle.

- Sewa.. - Mm..

- Ha-ha.. - Sewa..

Oh! Sweet inspiration.

Yes, thanks to Ash and Sewaddle

I've got an idea for my next project.

I'm off now to Castelia City, so I'll see you there!

But, Burgh, wait!

I'll be waiting for you at the Castelia Gym.

Farewell.

Great! Bye!

- See you there! - Sewa-wa-wa!

- Goodbye, Burgh! - Safe travels!

Pika-Pika!

(narrator) A vast forest en route to the Castelia City Gym



and Ash's next Gym Battle has yielded several surprises

Ash's new friend, Sewaddle

and the Castelia Gym Leader, Burgh.
