23x22 - Goodbye, Friend!

[bunniefuu]

[theme music playing]

[narrator] Ash's goal is to battle one of the world's greatest Trainers, Leon.

Goh's goal is to catch one of every kind of Pokémon, including Mew!

This is the story of their adventure-filled journey

through the world of Pokémon!

Pika, pika!

-[Ash] Okay, I'll start it off! -[Goh] Right!

-Cool, huh? -[laughs]

What's that supposed to be? Where's the face?

See? It's right here!

-It's clear as day! -Looks like another win for me!

[laughs]

You've gotta be kidding me! What kind of body is that?

One that does this!

Well, mine's definitely better than yours is.

[groans] Mine's definitely the best!

[Ash] Pikachu, which drawing is better, Goh's, or mine?

[Goh] Which is more like Garchomp?

Pika, pikachu?

-Pika, pikachu! Pika, pikachu! -[Goh] What do you think, Raboot?

[sighs] Raboot.

-[whimpers] -Huh? Hey, look at that!

[Goh] It's the sea!

Pika!

[Ash, Goh] "Goodbye, Friend!"

Look out, Hoenn region, we're back here once again!

And Littleroot Town, you're up next!

[Goh] The Pokémon Center is straight down this road!

Four whole days, starting today.

As Professor Cerise's lab research fellows,

-we've got our hands full. -Aw, yeah!

We'll be working hard watching Beautifly hydrate.

That's for sure! Think of it.

They're so happy when they hydrate.

Hold on!

We won't be watching Beautifly hydrate. We'll watch them migrate!

-Whoops. My mistake. -Pika?

I think we should find them all

hanging out near the Littleroot beach.

[Cerise] We can witness the migration of Beautifly only once a year,

and only for a very short time.

Make sure you pay attention.

They say Beautifly travel thousands of miles!

They fly with others like themselves, looking for the perfect place to live.

-Amazing! -I'm so psyched!

Pikachu!

-Uh... It's a Wurmple! -Huh?

All right! Raboot, we're gonna catch it!

[groans]

[Ash] Huh?

Raboot, come on...

Goh? Didn't you already catch a Wurmple?

Yeah, three.

But I wanted one to evolve differently.

[Ash] Thanks for putting us up!

Sure! Enjoy your stay!

See, we came here to investigate the migration of the Beautifly.

Where's the best place to do that?

Hmm...

I can't really say since it changes every year.

But one thing's for sure.

A north wind blows the day they migrate.

North wind? Of course!

The Beautifly are trying to head south

so they wait for a strong wind from the north to carry them!

Yeah? But a headwind is so much more fun.

Well, that might be the case if you were the Beautifly, sure.

[laughs]

This is some tough wind, but it will never beat me!

[both laughing]

Now that's stuck in my brain!

[Ash] Whoa! The sea is so cool!

-And so big! -Pikachu!

[sighs]

Let me check it out...

Today's wind...

Looks like it'll be a headwind to the Beautifly.

-So that means no migration today? -Guess not.

But they should be gathered somewhere, ready when the time is right.

[rotom] Beautifly. The Butterfly Pokémon.

A Bug and Flying type.

Beautifly is recognized by the distinctive colorful pattern on its wings.

Sweet flower nectar is its favorite food.

Flower nectar...

Okay, why don't we check over there?

-Pika! -[gasps]

-Is... is that... -[Goh] A Zigzagoon!

Hey, are you okay?

[Ash pants] Hang in there.

I don't see any visible wounds.

[Zigzagoon grunts]

[groaning] Raboot!

[groaning]

-Zigzagoon! -[gasping]

-Zigzagoon! Zigzagoon! Zigzagoon! -Pika?

It seems all right.

What was that about?

Uh, you know, I'm just relieved it wasn't hurt.

Yeah, you're right!

Lombre...

Hey, Raboot? Something wrong?

Raboot!

[sighs]

I need to research that.

We didn't get to see one Beautifly.

Hmm...

There weren't flowers blooming that seemed like they'd have nectar.

So now where am I supposed to look?

-Ra! -Hey, a Wurmple!

-Where? Where is it? -Right there.

[shrieks, groans]

[Goh] Aww. It got away again.

And I really wanted it to evolve into a Silcoon!

[Ash] Oh, yeah!

Your other three evolved into Cascoon, huh?

-[Goh] Hold it! -Huh?

Pika?

Of course... I've got it!

-You've got what? -Pika?

It's a Silcoon!

What we really need to be on the lookout for is a Silcoon!

You're right!

Beautifly evolve from Silcoon, so that makes sense!

That's when they migrate!

All right. Where would Silcoon like to hang out around here?

There's a wooded area!

-Let's check it out tomorrow! -Hmm!

-Pikachu! -[Goh] I'm so psyched!

Hope I can sleep!

-[Ash] I'm looking forward to it, too! -Ra...

[snoring]

[quirky music]

[breathing heavily]

-[door slams] -Hmm?

Huh?

Morning, Raboot. So where have you been?

Raboot.

Why won't you tell me?

[chomps]

Wow! Great!

These Littleroot croquettes are awesome!

-Hey, Goh? What's wrong? -Hmm?

Don't you feel like you wanna eat?

-Nothing's wrong. I'm fine. -You don't have a stomachache, do you?

My stomach's fine.

-Hmm... -[munching]

[gasps, grunts]

[shrieks]

[Ash, Goh] There they are!

[Ash] A swarm of Silcoon!

-You did it, Goh! -Hmm!

There's going to be another headwind today

so the odds of migration tomorrow are good!

Let's come back tomorrow.

All right! I wonder if all those Beautifly are gonna fly today?

That'd be awesome. What do you think, bud?

Pikachu!

I've been thinking about how Silcoon must evolve.

-Pika... -I think first,

they go like this...

-and then, like that! -Pika!

Pika? Pika, pika, pika...

-Pika! -Aha! You've got it!

[sighs] You two really get along.

Ra, ra, ra.

Would you like one?

Ra! Raboot!

I think Raboot's hungry.

But you ate breakfast, didn't you?

Ra... Raboot!

-Thanks very much! -[munching]

You're amazing! You can eat all of that?

Please, may I have one? They look...

-Hmm! -[gasps]

Why not?

I know why. If someone wanted one of my favorite croquettes,

I wouldn't wanna share.

All I want is one...

-Sorry! -What's with your attitude?

Raboot, I don't get why you're acting this way at all!

[groans]

Ever since you evolved, you've acted just like this.

Like you just don't care.

Nothing excites you, you won't high-five,

and you refuse to look me in the eye!

Boot!

That kind of attitude has to stop!

[groaning]

I don't understand it.

Do you really hate me that much?

[woman laughs] Oh. That's how my son acts!

-It is? -This is what the experts call

their "rebellious phase."

Angry at everything, annoyed, and unable to please.

There's nothing to do but let it be.

The truth is, it's just a phase.

Wow. I never knew that.

"Rebellious phase?"

Just something it's going through?

I see. That makes sense.

[snoring]

Hmm?

-[door closes] -Huh?

[tense music]

Going out late two nights in a row?

But where's it going, and what's it doing there?

Oh!

Hmm... Oh!

[panting]

Oh, no! It's gone! Where...

[gasps, sighs]

What is that?

[lively music playing]

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

-Beautifly! -Pika?

Pika, pika!

-[Ash] Hurry! Hurry! -Pikachu!

-Do we have enough time? -Yeah!

But the north wind is getting stronger and stronger!

If this keeps up, migration will definitely begin!

[Ash, Goh panting]

So, what do you think?

[Goh] Huh?

It's evolving! Wow!

-Beautifly! -[both] Awesome!

-Beautifly! -Beautifly!

-Beautifly! -Beautifly!

-[both sighing] -Pikachu!

-This is so cool! -Pika!

So these are migrating Beautifly.

[Ash] Goh? You sure you don't wanna catch one?

[Goh] What about you? Don't you wanna battle one?

[Ash] Well, it's like...

[Goh] Same for me.

So beautiful! That was some migration!

-Mm-hm. -The video is great, too.

All that's left is to go home!

-I've got something I need to tell you. -Huh?

[Goh] See what I meant?

Yeah, it really did leave.

Last time, I lost track of where it was going.

Oh, man...

You've gotta tell me this stuff when it goes down!

-You're right. -Pikachu!

-Let's go! -Right!

-[Ash, Goh gasp] -Pika?

Oh, no, not again...

[lively music playing]

I heard that yesterday, too!

Pika?

[lively music playing]

Pi, pi, pi... pika.

[gasps]

[lively music playing]

[all grunt]

What was that for?

Over there...

[hip-hop music playing]

Ra!

Ra... boot!

-It... it's dancing? -Pikachu!

-Raboot. -Lombre?

[tapping rhythmically] Ra!

[hip-hop music playing]

Lombre! Lombre! Lombre!

-Zigzag, zig, zig. -Zag, zig, zig!

[all blabbering]

I think Raboot is teaching them to dance.

Raboot!

Ra!

-The apples! -They're the ones you bought!

-Zigzagoon! -Lombre...

-Oh... -Hey, that's...

-Nickit! -Nickit!

[munching]

Could it be that the Lombre and Zigzagoon

are members of Raboot's new crew?

But that would mean that Raboot...

has become the local Pokémon leader!

I guess it still smiles after all.

[ominous music]

-[loud thud] -[gasps]

-[gasps] -What's that?

-Loud... -Red!

[suspenseful music]

-Who are they? -[beeps]

-[chimes] -[rotom] Loudred.

The Big Voice Pokémon. A Normal type.

Loudred suck in lots of air

and use their highly developed abdominal muscles

to produce a very loud vocal sound.

So what are they doing here?

[grunting]

[chuckles]

[inhales]

[growls]

-They all quit dancing! -Yeah.

They can't start a rhythm because of the noise.

-La-la-loud! -La-la-loud!

-La-la-loud! -Dred!

Now the Loudred have started dancing!

-Pikachu! -La-la-loud! La-la-loud!

La-la-loud! Loudred!

[Zigzagoons] Zigzagoon!

[grunts]

[Loudreds] La-la-loud! La-la-loud! La-la-loud! Loudred!

Lombre! Lombre! Lombre!

-Raboot! -[roars]

[grunts]

Of course! They're having a dance battle!

-Huh? -They must be doing it

to compete for territory.

There are plenty of trees here with food for them to eat.

So they're figuring out who gets the territory

with a dance battle.

Raboot wants to help Lombre and the Zigzagoon dance the best

so that they'll win!

[Loudreds] La-la-loud! La-la-loud! La-la-loud! La-la-loud!

Hmm!

-Huh? -Pika!

[gasps]

Don't get thrown off by the Loudred's sound!

You just have to concentrate on the rhythm!

-Right! We'll help, too! -Pikachu!

Pika! Pika!

-[Goh] Come on! -Ra?

Ra!

Go!

[groans]

[upbeat music playing]

Ra, raboot!

[all humming]

[all groan]

Now, this is a dance battle, isn't that right?

Then let's all dance!

-Hmm? -Hmm? Loudred!

-Yeah! Let's do it! -Pika, pika!

[all scatting]

Whismur...

-Seedot. -Seedot!

[all singing]

Ra...

[upbeat music playing]

Raboot!

[all cheering]

[Ash laughs]

[cheering continues]

[Raboot] Boot! Raboot!

-Wow. Goh's really late. -Pika!

[snoring]

[Goh giggles] Raboot looks so contented.

Goodbye, friend. Take good care.

-Ash! -Goh! Why are you so late?

Hey, Goh, where's Raboot?

-It's back there. -[gasps]

I thought you were gonna bring it with you!

That was the plan...

But this way, it's better.

-How is it better? -Pika!

[Goh] Raboot's not going through a "rebellious phase"

that's keeping it from having fun.

It's my fault. I'm certain of it.

I just think Raboot would have a much happier life

without me around.

-Pika... -Think hard.

Are you sure about this?

Yeah, I'm sure.

[Ash] If you're really sure, then fine.

But did you tell that to Raboot?

[gasps]

-[whistle blows] -[sobbing]

Raboot! [gasps]

[gasping]

[panting]

[somber music]

[panting] Raboot! Raboot!

[grunts]

Raboot, no!

[whimpers]

Huh?

You came here. But why?

Raboot.

Huh... huh...

[chuckles]

You're smiling.

[groans]

[groaning] Raboot! Raboot!

[Goh] I know how you feel! Me, too!

We'll always be together! Always!

-I'm so happy for you both! -Pikachu!

-Smile, Raboot! -[camera shutter clicks]

[narrator] Whether distancing a little, or dancing a lot,

Raboot obviously isn't interested in the straight and narrow.

But Goh wouldn't have it any other way,

as the journey continues.
