25x17 - Big Brother to the Rescue!

[bunniefuu]

[gentle music]

[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!

[camera shutter clicks]

[gentle music]

[narrator] Here we are in Cerise Park where, as usual, we find Ash and Goh

looking after all the many Pokémon living there.

Yamper.

-Hey, there, Chloe! -Hey, what's going on?

Dad asked me to come here.

He wants me to take pictures of the Pokémon for him.

-He asks every so often. -We do it sometimes, too!

I didn't know that!

Pi-ka!

I wonder who to take pictures of next…

[pants] Yamper! Yamp! Yamp!

Wait. Do you wanna show me where to go?

Yamper.

Wow, Yamper's a big help!

Yamper.

-Eevee. -Pi-ka.

Let's check it out, too!

Sure!

Yamper, Yamper.

Pi-ka!

Ee… vee.

-Yamper, Yamper, Yamper. -[grunts]

-[grunting] -Yamper!

-[grunts] -Yamper, Yamper, Yamper.

Huh? [grunts]

Bunnelby.

-Yamper. -[laughs]

Hey, look at Yamper.

Like everyone's big brother!

-[pants] -Eevee… vee.

-Grookey… Gro. Grookey! -Huh?

Grookey, where have you been?

Grookey… key-o.

Grookey… key. Grookey… key… key.

Hey! I think that Grookey lost its stick!

Grookey.

Yamper. [sniffing]

-[gasps] -[all] Huh?

Yamper. [sniffing]

[all groan]

Grookey… roo.

-Pi-ka? -Yam!

[pants]

[all chuckle softly]

Grookey… key… key.

Thanks so much, Yamper!

Doing what a big brother does!

-Grookey… roo! -Yamper.

Grookey!

Yamper, you're so sweet!

-Huh? -[rattles in distance]

-Yamper! -What's the matter?

Yamper, Yamper, Yamper.

[Ash] Right! Everybody follow Yamper!

[gentle music]

[Chloe] "Big Brother…"

[Ash and Goh] "To The Rescue!"

[groans]

Yamper. [pants]

Pinsir…

What's it doing?

It doesn't seem very happy…

[all] Huh?

Yamper.

Lilligant and Gossifleur!

[camera shutter clicks]

Something sure smells super sweet!

[all] Ha? Huh?

[Chloe] Who's that Pokémon?

[all] Huh?

Heracross.

[Ash, Goh, Chloe] Heracross?

Of course…

[all] Huh?

[groans]

It seems like Heracross can't resist Lilligant

and Gossifleur's sweet smell…

Didn't something like that happen before?

-Uh-huh. -Pi-ka.

[groans]

Please don't worry, Pinsir.

I'm sure Heracross'll be back.

[groans]

Yamp.

-Huh? Hey, Yamper, where are you going? -[Goh, Chloe] Hm?

Yamp, Yamp, Yamp.

[pants] Yamper.

Yamper? Yamper.

[panting] Yamper.

[all grunt]

[Goh] Huh? It's Panpour!

Yamper, Yamp.

Pan… pour!

Hera!

Check it out.

Was that supposed to wake it up?

Here… Heracross.

-Panpour. -Yamper.

-Hera… -[Yamper grunting]

Heracro…

Heracro.

[grunts]

[sighs]

[all] Aww.

All better now!

[camera shutter clicks]

Heracross.

[Alcremie grunting]

Hera…

-[Ash] Not again… -[Goh, Chloe] Uh-oh.

Hera!

Heracro…

Heracross!

I hope they're okay…

I think they'll make up pretty quickly.

Hope so.

Ratta… Ratta… Ratta…

It looks like Rattata.

What do you think it is this time?

-Rarattata. -Yamper.

[all] Huh?

Pi-ka.

Golurk.

Roggen… rola

[grunting]

[all grunting]

It's a big fight!

Yamper, Yamper, Yamper.

Yamp! Yamp! Yamp!

[Pokémon grumbling]

Why would they fight like that?

Please stop, okay?

All of you need to stay friends!

Golurk, what exactly happened here?

Go…

[Goh] Oh, this area is where Pidgey, Rattata,

and the rest of them play.

[Ash] So the Rock type Pokémon took their spot?

And it looks like they don't want to give it up.

-Sounds like trouble. -Yamper.

-Yamp! Yamp! Yamp! -[Chloe] Yamper?

-[Goh] Again? -[Ash] Maybe Yamper thought of something!

Lurk?

Yamp! Yamp! [pants]

-Huh? -Isn't this place…

-[Rotom Phone beeps] -I get it!

This is where the Rock type Pokémon always play!

But look at the water…

Pi-ka!

-My ears! -That hurts!

Mine hurt, too!

-[Bruxish screaming] -Yamp! Yamp! Yamp!

-Yamp! Yamp! Yamper! -[Bruxish gibbering]

Is that…

It's Bruxish!

[camera shutter clicks]

Are you saying that sound we heard came from Bruxish?

Do you think that it's angry about the dirty water?

Yamper.

Something like that would definitely scare away any Rock type Pokémon!

[all grunt]

Come on, Bruxish!

-Knock it off now! -We've gotta do something quick!

Yeah, but what'll we do?

It's so noisy, I can't think straight!

-[Bruxish screams] -Yamper?

-[Pikachu groans] -What, Yamper?

Yamper! [panting]

Yamper! Yamp, Yamp!

Yamper, Yamp! [grunting]

[Bruxish screams]

Vibrava?

Brava!

-No way… -You're kidding!

-What now? -Supersonic!

[all scream]

[Bruxish screams]

-[all yelping] -[Chloe] It's so loud!

Eevee.

-Hang on, it quieted down. -But why?

It's possible that Vibrava's Supersonic waves

are canceling out Bruxish's teeth grinding.

[Chloe] Is that possible?

If a sound wave encounters an identical sound wave,

they cancel each other out.

When that happens, you can't hear the sound anymore.

Ha!

Science is so amazing!

Yamper, you were great!

Yamper. [pants]

But still, we can't quite call it a day just yet.

We have to do something about that dirty water.

[both] Hm.

Yamper. [pants]

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

[soft upbeat music]

Pi-ka?

Vibrava.

Pi-ka. Pi-ka.

[quirky music]

-Yamper. -[all grunt]

-Pi-ka. -Huh?

-Are you all right, buddy? -Pi-ka.

[yells] It's all slimy!

-Look around you, Ash! -Huh?

It's all over the place!

Yamper, Yamper. Yamper.

Huh. What's going on, Yamper?

Yamp.

[all scream]

Muku…

[Goh] Pyukumuku?

Yamp.

Could this slime be the reason that the water is so dirty?

I don't think so.

Pyukumuku's slime protects its own body,

so I don't think that's what's polluting the water.

[Ash] I'm sure it doesn't like dirty water,

so it got out of the river.

Muku…

So let's keep on investigating.

[Goh, Chloe] Got it!

[Pokémon grunt]

Rattata…

[all] Huh?

Look, there's Golurk!

Golurk.

[Pokémon grunting]

Nido.

[yelping]

Oh, man. They're at it again!

Except it looks like it's worse.

Yamp. Yamper.

Yamp. Yamp. Yamp.

[all groan]

Yamp! Yamp!

Yamper! Yamp! Yamp!

At least they've all calmed down…

But we've gotta find out what the problem is!

-Let's check upstream! -[Ash, Goh] Got it!

[screams]

[all yell]

Brava.

[grunts] Brava.

I think Vibrava's getting really tired!

-Let's hurry! -Right!

Pyukumuku!

We're almost done, so hang in there!

-Let's finish this! -[Goh, Chloe] Right!

[all panting]

[camera shutter clicks]

Well, I guess we didn't find anything.

There weren't any piles of trash

and it doesn't look like any Poison type Pokémon caused it, either.

[Ash sighs]

-Yamper. -[Chloe] Yamper?

Maybe it found something!

[all pant]

[sniffing] Yamper, Yamp, Yamp.

Huh?

Yamp, Yamp. [pants]

Yamp, Yamp, Yamp.

[all] Huh? It's Grimer!

Grimer?

Why is it in a place like this?

That's why the river got so dirty…

Hey, why don't you come on out, Grimer?

Grimer.

Uh… That means no.

Yamp, Yamp, Yamp.

[panting]

Yamper. Yamper.

[Chloe grunts]

Yamper.

[all gasp]

[Ash] It's out!

Sorry, Grimer.

If you keep staying in there, the water will be filthy.

Grimer.

I wonder where Grimer lived before it came out here…

Maybe in one of the caves!

Hm. We'll just make sure that it gets back there!

-Is this the cave? -Yeah!

This is it.

Grimer likes trash and sludge, and I suppose it must have

lived inside this cave so it wouldn't bother anybody else.

-Froakie. -[Ash] Look! Froakie?

Grimer! Grim…

Froakie.

Oh! Froakie! I wonder what it's doing here…

Froakie… kie.

-Froakie… kie. -Grimer.

I think I know…

Grimer's been living here a while now, so maybe it was welcoming Froakie here

by offering its nest.

-Awesome! That is so cool! -Grimer is such a nice Pokémon!

-Froakie. Froakie. -Grim… Grim…

-Pi-ka. -[camera shutter clicks]

Uh, but…

But, wait, what's Grimer going to do about its nest?

Yeah.

We can't just let it go back to that cave behind the waterfall.

I know!

[Ash] Let's work together to build a new nest for Grimer!

[Goh, Chloe] Great!

Yamper.

All right! Are you ready, guys?

Yamper. Yamper.

[Yamper grunts]

We're counting on all of you!

-[all groan] -Pi-ka!

Yamper.

[all grunting]

[both grunt]

[all screech]

Yamper.

All we've gotta do now is fill it with water,

and then we'll be done!

What's that?

Suicune.

[Suicune howls]

[rain pattering]

Is it using Rain Dance?

Huh?

[tranquil music]

[all gasp]

Ash, look!

-[Ash grunts] -[Chloe chuckles]

Muku… Muku…

Muku… Muku… Muku…

Brava.

[Bruxish screaming]

Bruxish!

[gentle music]

What a nice, gentle rain!

Yeah.

Yamper.

Huh.

[all laugh]

Pi-ka…

See that, Grimer?

That's your brand new nest!

Grim… er

Grim…

-Huh? -Grim!

[yells]

[both laugh]

Grimer… Grim…

Froa… kie

Yamper.

Yamper?

[light music]

[all grunt]

[all groan]

-[groaning] -Yamper.

[howls]

Look at that!

I guess Suicune knew how hard Yamper was working all along.

-Mm-hm. -Pokémon are amazing.

That's for sure.

[panting]

Even when they're far away, the stronger the emotions,

the stronger their connections.

You know what, Goh? They know how you feel, too.

I sure hope so.

Huh?

[all] Whoa.

[gentle music]

[all grunt]

[groaning]

Yamper.

[all grunt]

[Goh] Suicune…

see ya.

[upbeat music]

Pyukumuku. Pyuku… Pyuku…

Bruxish.

It looks so relaxed!

Vibrava… [wings buzzing]

[grunting]

[Chloe] The Pokémon are all back to their usual play spots.

[grunting] Grookey.

Go…

[Goh] It looks like everything's back to normal.

All right!

-Pikachu! -Eevee!

Great work today, Yamper!

-Yamper. -[camera shutter clicks]

[narrator] Yamper worked especially hard today

for all the Pokémon in Cerise Park.

It was also able to see Suicune again after so long,

making it a wonderful experience!

[Ash] The workday is officially over!

[Pokémon grunting]

So, were you able to get some good pictures?

Yeah. A whole bunch!

And a lot of them are of Yamper's hard work!

Yamper. [pants]

[all grunting]

[chimes]

[Rotom Phone] An official battle has been scheduled.

-Hm? -Huh?

[Rotom Phone] Your entrance battle will be against

Raihan, who is ranked eighth in the Masters Eight.

Raihan, huh…

[Goh] What do you mean, entrance battle?

[Rotom Phone] If Ash wins, he will exchange

ranks with his opponent and be officially confirmed

as the eighth ranked member of the Masters Eight,

who are the strongest Trainers in the World Coronation Series.

-Wow… -Hey, you've got this, Ash!

-It's finally here. -Uh-huh!

[narrator] Ash can feel the excitement now that he's scheduled to battle Raihan.

But the outcome is still to be decided, as the journey continues!
