14x27 - The Dragon Master's Path!

[bunniefuu]

[instrumental music]

(Iris) Ready, Ash?

You bet! Bring it on!

Alright, Axew, use Scratch!

Axew, Axew, Axew, Axew!

- Axew! - Scraggy, dodge it quick!

- Axew. - Scrag-Scraggy!

Yes! Headbutt, go!

Scraggy!

Axew! Axew. Ax-ax..

Axew, be strong!

- Now use Dragon Rage! - Axew! Axew-Axew!

[grunting]

- Oh! - Oh!

[screaming]

[expl*si*n]

[groaning]

Well, that was some wallop! Ah..

Powerful, yes

but your Dragon Sneeze can leave one

'with a bitter aftertaste.'

It's not Dragon Sneeze!

It's Dragon Rage!

I know Axew's trying hard

but it sure looks like a struggle to me.

- Pika. - Ha-ha.

(Iris) 'Maybe, but what am I gonna do?'

'Raising a Dragon-Type takes time.'

- That's enough for today. - Um?

You'll learn it sooner or later.

- Practice makes perfect. - Axew. Ha-ha.

(narrator) With Ash's fourth Unova Gym Badge challenge

awaiting him our heroes continue their trek to Nimbasa City.

[growling]

[all gasping]

[all screaming]

What was that?

Druddigon!

- It's a Druddigon! - Axew.

Druddigon!

(Ash) The Dragon Master's Path!

Druddigon!

[growling]

(Pokedex) Druddigon, the Cave Pokemon.

With the skin on its face harder than rock

Druddigon warms its body by exposing its wings to the sun.

Okay, so that's a Druddigon.

It's a Dragon-Type.

Druddigon's so cool-looking and powerful, too.

[growling]

That's Focus Blast!

- Pikachu, Electro Ball! - Pikachu!

Pika-Pika!

'Pika!'

[growling]

Pi-Pika-Pi!

[growling]

Now it's mad.

Pikachu, keep your guard up.

- Pikachu! - Druddigon!

- Huh? - There you are.

You're alright.

[growling]

[gasps]

Now what?

Where are you going?

Hang on, Axew!

Iris, where are you going?

- I think we'd better go, too. - Pika!

[panting]

[growling]

- Oh! - Axew.

- 'Iris!' - Pika-Pika!

Oh, dear! Where'd my Druddigon go?

- Shh! - Huh?

- Tell it to come out, okay? - Axew!

Axew. Ax-Ax..

Axew. Axew.

- Axew! - Hm..

[screaming]

[growling]

[screaming]

- Axew! - Huh?

- Huh? - Pika!

[growling]

Druddigon?

It's angry and dangerous.

You're fine, right?

Uh, yes.

[growling]



Oh-oh, oh.

- Iris! - Pika!

Now you just stay still.

'Let me help you.'

There. That should do it.

Huh?

See this rope?

It was wrapped around Druddigon's ankle

cutting into the skin.

When did that happen?

Maybe it could've happened

when it went to look for Belue Berries.

Could someone have done this?

[gasps]

Thank you so much!

Hello, my name's Emmy.

Well, first off, you're more than welcome.

- And I'm Iris! - Axew.

- And this is Axew. - Hi there, I'm Ash.

And this's my partner, Pikachu.

Pikachu!

I'm Cilan, and I'm a Pokemon Connoisseur.

I can't get over how you were able to figure out

where Druddigon was.

Easy. Druddigon can't move when its body temperature drops.

'See that cave way up there'

'where the sunlight is shining on it?'

Well, I figured it'd be hiding in there.

You really know a lot about Druddigon, don't you?

Of course!

I did grow up in the Village of Dragons, after all.

- Village of Dragons? - Duh!

Obviously, you forgot.

(James) 'We almost had it.'

But for Druddigon to rip through this heavy wire

that's real power.

It's a good thing we followed through

and kept tabs on Druddigon

because that follow through

brought us right here to the twerps.

And now we can catch Axew, who's also a Dragon-Type

as well as the pick of the Pokemon, Pikachu!

Alright, then.

(together) To the future!

For Team Rocket

and for the boss!

(Ash) 'I remember now.'

'You said there are lots of different Dragon-Type Pokemon'

where you come from

and everybody there was really laid-back.

Yeah, the people and Pokemon there

all get along really well.

But you know who's amazing?

Dragon Masters, that's who!

Yeah? Dragon Masters?

I've heard of them.

They're people who get along very well with Dragon-Types

and know how to truly bring out their richest flavor.

Isn't that right, Iris?

You've got it!

I wanna become a Dragon Master.

It's a lifelong dream!

Of course! So that's why you know so much about Dragon-Types.

Say, I wonder if I could ask you a favor.

- Could you teach me more? - Hm?

About Druddigon.

I've only been a Trainer for a little while.

So you're a beginner?

Yeah, my dad traded his Druddigon with me.

It's the very first time I've raised a Dragon-Type.

Once I get a little more comfortable

I'd like to go on a journey.

So far I haven't really gotten there.

Oh. Gotcha.

Sure!

I'll do whatever I can to help you with your dream.

Thanks! That's wonderful!

So you want to feel comfortable. Let's see.

Having a battle would be a good start.

- A battle? - Right.

- What do you think? - I don't know.

I've never battled with Druddigon.

Hm?

Then I strongly suggest you do that.

- You'll get much closer. - Yeah, Cilan's right.

How about a battle with me?

That's it! Perfect!

- Give it all you got! Right? - Hm.

Tepig, I choose you!

Tepig!

Alright! Begin!

Let's go! Tepig, use Tackle!

Tepig! Tepig, Tepig, Tepig.

Tepig!

- Ah! - Huh?

Druddigon! Oh, no!

First, remember to stay calm and then you need to stop Tepig.

Right. Druddigon, use Focus Blast!

[growling]

Tepig, dodge it!



Tepig!

Alright! Now use Flame Charge!

[grunting]

- Oh-oh.. - Druddigon can handle it.

- Block Tepig's attack. - Huh?

Right. Druddigon, block it now!

[growling]

[grunting]

[groaning]

- Quick, Tepig, get up! - Pika-Pika!

- Now attack! - Druddigon, Dragon Claw!

[growling]

Tepig, Ember!

[grunting]

[groans]

You can't back down now!

- Do it! - Right.

Druddigon, keep attacking with Dragon Claw!

[grunting]

[groaning]

[groaning]

- Tepig! - Pika!

Tepig's unable to battle.

Druddigon wins!

- Yippee! Yippee! - Axew! Axew!

We won?

- Druddigon! - We really won.

And it's all because of all your wonderful advice.

Thanks, Iris.

Getting in sync with a Dragon-Type

is not such an easy thing to do.

The most important thing you can do is to trust each other.

And also, never ever give up!

- What do you say, Axew? - Ew-ew.

- Tepig, are you okay? - Pikachu?

[groaning]

Tepig!

You did a great job.

- Now take a good rest. - Tepig!

Wow, so your Druddigon is able to use Focus Blast

Dragon Claw and Flamethrower!

Does Druddigon know any other moves?

Uh-uh. So far just those three.

Okay, we've got Druddigon with three moves

but learning one more move would be huge!

- It'd be a whole new game! - Pika-Pika.

Hm, learn another move.

We'll do it! Right, Druddigon?

Drudd.

[grunting]

Yamask!

[Druddigon groans]

[all gasping]

- A Yamask? - But why attack out of nowhere?

Pika?

Yamask!

Look out!

[expl*si*n]

So you wanna battle, huh?

Druddigon, use Flamethrower!

[growling]

Woobat-bat-bat-bat..

[groaning]

What's going on?

It's a Woobat!

(Ash) What's with the Gust?

- Pika! - Ah-ah!

Huh? Axew!

- Ah! Ah! - Pika-Pika!

- Axew! - Ah! Pika!

[growling]

- Druddigon. - Druddigon!

[all gasping]

Druddigon!

- Pika-Pika! - Axew-Axew!

- Pikachu! - Axew!

(group) Who's that Pokemon?

(group) It's Druddigon!

(Druddigon) Druddigon.

- Pika-Pika! - Axew-Axew!

[growling]

Alright, Druddigon, Dragon Claw!

[screaming]

- Pikachu, are you okay? - Pikachu.

[groaning]

Axew! Axew!

Ah. Druddigon.

[all gasping]

Axew!

[groaning]

- Axew! - Druddigon!

No! Now what?

Now there's a twerpish question.

Dumb, indeed.

The answer to come as we feel the need.

We bring the white light of evil into the future.

Thrusting the hammer

on to the black darkness of the universe.

And carving our names in the rock of eternity.

The fiery destroyer, Jessie.



And with thunderous emotion, I am James.

Wisest of the wise, Meowth!

(together) Now gather Under the name of Team Rocket!

- Team Rocket? - Yeah!

They're really bad guys

who show up and steal people's Pokemon!

- Pika-Pika! - Bad guys?

I would reframe that

as three geniuses working hard to capture Druddigon

with a brilliant plan!

And grabbing Axew just shows

that our awesome plan is working great!

And catching Pikachu will be the icing on the cake

a cake that we'll bake for our dear boss

who will certainly savor every delicious bite.

Well, I don't think so! Axew is my partner! Look out!

[panting]

[grunting]

[screaming]

Axew!

[screaming]

Iris!

We'll raise Axew right and have it evolve. Then..

Team Rocket will take over the whole Unova region.

Now, Woobat, use Gust!

Woobat-bat-bat-bat..

[groaning]

Yamask, Shadow Ball!

Yamask!

[all screaming]

- Farewell. - Farewell.

[gibberish]

[whirring]

That's it! We gotta do something!

Hm, you bet ya!

[whirring]

There are several mesas up ahead.

The perfect place to land.

And the perfect time to let the boss know

the great things we've done for him.

- Huh? - What was that?

Druddigon!

- Ew. - 'Druddigon.'

You're certain

Druddigon won't be able to break out, aren't you?

Have faith that our ship

is % safe and sound.

Alright, everybody, Keep your eyes on Team Rocket!

I am going to get my precious Druddigon back from them

if it's the last thing I ever do!

[thinking] Axew, my best friend and partner

means more to me than words can say!

(Elder) Listen well, Iris.

You and your Axew will undoubtedly meet

many Trainers and Pokemon all along your journey.

And these encounters will surely help both of you to grow.

Right. Thanks, Elder.

There are countless experiences

that await the two of you.

Excitement and sorrow

good times and bad times.

When you and Axew succeed in overcoming all adversities

then the doorway to becoming a Dragon Master will open wide.

I understand! And I'll..

- No, we'll do our very best. - Yeah.

This is something that Axew and I have to overcome

if I want to be a Dragon Master!

Pika.

[grunting]

Ax-Axew! Ax..

'Axew!'

(Jessie) 'What was that?'

- Huh? - They're going down!

[crashing]

[groaning] Man!

I never would've guessed that that pipsqueak Axew

could use Dragon Rage.

When it joins us, it'll be a plus.

[grunting]

Axew!

They are escaping

but they won't get far, that's for sure.

- We got to hurry! - Pika-Pika!

- Hold on! - Pik?

[all gasping]

Axew-Axew! Axew-Axew!

Axew-Axew! Axew-Axew!

- Woobat! - Huh?

- Yamask! - Ah!

Iris, what are you doing?

We need to hurry and rescue Druddigon and Axew!

Got it. That way!

Iris, where are you going?

Going this way is much faster!

Iris must be able to sense where Axew and Druddigon are.

- Huh? - Huh?

I'm gonna trust her.

- Let's go! - Pikachu.

- Hm. - Hm.

[panting]



[Axew groaning]

[screaming]

- Ax! - Uh..

[gibberish]

- Axew! - Woobat!

Hate to burst your bubble.

But you can't escape the grip of Team Rocket.

So get a grip and join with us!

Druddigon!

[expl*si*n]

You're a feisty Pokemon with an attitude.

I like it!

But we're finished playing kids' games.

Now, Yamask, Shadow Ball!

Yamask!

Druddigon!

Woobat, Gust!

Woobat-bat-bat-bat..

[groaning]

If you give up while the giving's good

then you'll be on the front lines

when we take over the Unova region.

- 'Not going to happen!' - Huh?

It's the twerps!

Axew, we'll save you!

You'll be just fine, Druddigon!

- Axew! - Druddigon!

Don't bet on it!

Yamask, Shadow Ball!

Ya..

Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Pi-Pikachu!

[screaming]

Quick, now's your chance!

Druddigon! Druddigon!

- Oh. Axew. - We came as fast as we could.

Yamask, use Night Shade!

[grunting]

[groaning]

Hang on, Druddigon!

[grunting]

Yamask, let it rip!

[groaning]

[screaming]

- You alright? - Pikachu?

Yeah. I'm okay.

Thanks so much, Druddigon.

- You protected me. - Uh..

- Huh? - Pika?

Druddigon!

[all gasping]

What's that?

Druddigon learned Draco Meteor!

- 'Draco Meteor?' - 'Yeah!'

(Iris) 'Now it needs to concentrate all its power'

'and sh**t it toward the sky!'

Druddigon, concentrate all your power!

[grunting]

- Do it! - Now release it.

Straight toward the sky!

[growling]

[all gasping]

[groaning]

Yamask!

[groaning]

Wow! So this is Draco Meteor?

- You bet! Way to go! - Ha-ha!

Remarkable! Druddigon learned Draco Meteor.

Which means, let's catch it.

Now, Woobat, use Gust!

Woobat-bat-bat..

Pikachu, Electro Ball!

Pika!

[grunting]

Yes! Axew, use Dragon Rage!

Axew! Axew.

[grunting]

[whimpering]

[expl*si*n]

- Yeah! - Pika-Pika!

[chuckles]

[all gasping]

I detest meddlesome twerps.

They always appear to get in our way!

It might look like we've lost this latest round

but our dream will definitely be realized.

And that dream is taking over the entire Unova region

for the boss.

Axew, you were wonderful!

You did it!

You finally learned how to use Dragon Rage!

Axew.

I know, and I'm just as happy as you are!

We've worked so long and hard for this!

It was a long time coming

but like a fine meal

it was well worth the wait.

A tasteful Dragon Rage.

And Druddigon's Draco Meteor was pretty awesome, too!

Pika-Pika!



You've all helped me decide what to do.

I'm going on a journey with Druddigon!

[chuckles]

Great! We'll work hard, too!

And I'll become a Dragon Master.

- Axew. - I'm working hard, too.

And someday I'm gonna become a Pokemon Master!

Pika-Pikachu!

(narrator) And so satisfaction in a job well done

is evident all around

as Emmy's Druddigon has learned Draco Meteor

and Axew has finally mastered Dragon Rage.

The future looks bright, indeed.

As a new journey begins

our heroes' travels continue.
