25x37 - Just a Scone's Throw From Here!

[bunniefuu]

[playful music]

[narrator] The Pokémon World Coronation Series Masters Eight Tournament

semifinals are history.

And now that Ash has defeated Cynthia, the Sinnoh Champion,

our hero is on his way to the finals.

The match is tomorrow,

so Ash and Goh have made their way to Wyndon Stadium.

Hey, Ash, wonder what Leon wants to show us.

Maybe the Pokémon he's planning to use.

-[Ash] Leon! -Welcome.

[Goh] It's Sonia, and Professor Magnolia too!

-Hi there! -It's been such a long time.

I got to see your battle, Ash! You were great!

Now that you've made it here, knock Leon through a loop!

Got it!

-You don't really mean that, do you? -[chuckles]

So, Leon, you said you had something to show us, right?

Here it is. Come on out!

[Pokémon exclaim]

[Ash and Goh] Eternatus!

♪ I'll go anywhere if I'm with you ♪

♪ Lightning strikes or any shade of blue ♪

♪ The journey is the best part ♪

♪ Even when the road gets hard ♪

♪ I'll go anywhere if I'm with you ♪

♪ With you ♪

[theme music]

[Ash and Goh] "Just a Scone's Throw From Here!"

[suspenseful music]

[Sonia] Surprised?

[Goh] Uh, yeah.

I mean, it was so over-the-top destructive.

That was the reason I had Professor Magnolia take it.

[Sonia] We decided, for the time being,

we'd keep it in a place deep underground below the lab.

The thing is, staying asleep all the time isn't much of a life.

Right. Eternatus has a deep connection to Galar particles,

the energy that flows through this region.

This is a Pokémon who cannot be separated

from the Galarian way of life.

We all must learn to coexist with Eternatus.

She's right.

That's why the first step is to help it get used to people.

With a little help from Leon, of course.

Eternatus was always ready to rampage at first.

-[Leon] But we've gotten to this point. -[growls]

Wow! Awesome!

Next, I'd like it to learn how to control its power

a little bit more.

-[Goh] Uh, Leon? -Hm?

Is it all right to leave Eternatus here with you?

-[all] Huh? -Hey, Goh.

It's an important Pokémon to the people here, after all.

And besides,

I'm sure Eternatus could accept a Trainer if it were you.

-Are you sure, Goh? -You're okay with that?

Of course!

Someday, I'll be an incredible Trainer and maybe Eternatus will accept me too.

I hear you.

And I think I understand exactly how you're feeling.

[growling]

[Ash] Hey, Leon?

Remember, I don't wanna hear you got lost.

Nope, there'll be none of that.

I've got Charizard, so I'll be fine!

[Goh] Don't let us down, Charizard.

What are we doing today, Ash?

Special training in preparation for tomorrow?

Nope. There's nothing today.

Getting worn out wouldn't do us any good, would it?

Let's take the day off. We'll give it our all tomorrow, right?

-What do ya say, buddy? -Pika!

Ha! So the first order of business is food!

[Ash] Hey. It's the teeny tiny things with the great smell!

-They're scones. -I choose them.

-Pikachu. -No surprise.

-Cinderace? -Cinde!

-Hey, Cinderace, do you remember? -Cinde?

[Goh] This is the spot where we first met.

[Cinderace] Cinderace.

-[Ash] Hey, mister? -Hm?

Good to see you!

What a nice surprise! How have you been?

-Awesome! -And look at this.

That Scorbunny from back then evolved, and now it's Cinderace.

[shop keeper] Really? This is this same Scorbunny?

[woman screams]

-Huh? -Pika?

[woman] Come on! Cut that out!

-What's going on? -Huh?

-[Goh] Aren't those… -[grunting]

[Rotom Phone] Zigzagoon, Galarian form.

The Tiny Raccoon Pokémon. A Dark and Normal type.

Zigzagoon runs in a zigzag pattern, wreaking havoc everywhere.

[grunting]

Help me!

-Cinde. -Look at that, Cinderace!

[Goh] It's those prank loving Nickit that you used to lead around.

[grumbles]

Nickit.

[all mumble]

Thank you all so much.

Wait just a second. Here.

-[woman] This is for your help. -[all] Nickit!

Thanks for all you do!

It's such a help having you protecting the town.

-Here, eat this! -[chuckles]

-You've helped us all. -Yes, thank you.

[boy ] Aw, they're so cute!

[laughter]

[all mumbling]

Mm.

Nickit.

[all] Zigzagoon!

[shop keeper] See for yourself.

They stopped stealing, and now, they help people

by teaching misbehaving Pokémon a lesson.

Why, they've become hugely popular all over town!

Wow!

-Cinde! -Huh?

-[Nickit] Nickit. -Cinde.

[all gasp]

Cinde, cin.

[all mumble]

-[all squealing] -[Cinderace laughing]

[Cinderace] Cinderace!

[all blabbering]

[groans]

[purring]

Perrserker.

[Jessie] Tomorrow, we steal the strong guy's Pokémon,

and all the Twerps' Pokémon too.

But, Jess, is that possible?

Gathering up a gaggle of powerful Pokémon should be a piece of cake!

[stomachs rumble]

Piece? I'll take the whole cake.

Wobbuffet.

-[Perrserker] Perrserker. -[all] Huh?

[tense music]

Zagoon.

-[all whimper] -Zigzag.

[all snarl]

-[Galarian Meowth snarl] -[Perrseker] Perrserker!

[Zigzagoons whimpering]

[Jessie] Aren't they acting kind of evil?

[James] And they look like Meowth, down to their Charms!

Those three g*ons have nothing on my attention

to personal hygiene and good looks!

-[chimes] -[Rotom Phone] Meowth.

-Galarian form. -[Meowth] Say what?

-[James] Told you. -[Rotom Phone] Zip it!

And the big one is their evolved form, Perrserker.

Well, with their help, I think we could loot tons of stuff

like food and even Pokémon.

Let's persuade them to join our merry band.

And once they're under our thumbs,

I'll make them all my g*ons, and form a Meowth Squad.

-[Jessie] Hey, you three? -Huh?

-It's your lucky day! -Yeah.

-You're gonna be my g*ons! -Wobbu!

-Cin! -[Nickit muttering]

[laughs] They're so good at that.

[Ash] Those two are really good too!

[laughs]

Huh? What's the matter, Goh?

[soft chuckle]

I'm just remembering all the things that started right here.

[Goh] I had always thought Mew would be the first Pokémon I'd catch, but…

then I met Scorbunny.

And after I caught it, I had a new dream.

Catching every Pokémon, and then finally catching Mew.

[Ash] Yeah, you're right.

[Goh] It's even possible that I'll meet Mew soon.

[all whimpering]

-Zagoon! -Nickit?

-[Cinderace] Cinde? -I wonder what happened.

-[woman screams] -Huh?

Give it back!

[mumbles]

-[woman ] Hey, that's mine! -[boy ] What'd you do that for?

-[man ] Hey, stop that! -[girl ] Stop it!

Wow, who are they?

Perrserker, with a couple of Meowth.

[shop keeper] They just moved here and have been on a mini rampage.

Perrserker!

[grunting]

Zigzagoon!

[all yell]

[all gasp]

Nickit.

-Perrserker! -Nick?

-Nickit! -[squeals]

-Cinde! -Goh, let's follow after them!

Right!

[Pokémon grumbling]

[Goh] Which way did they go?

[Galarian Meowth grumbling]

[all] Nickit.

What a quick catch!

Soon, we'll have both Pokémon and lunch!

I'll keep reeling them in as I see them!

Wobbu, wobbu!

[all grunting]

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

Pika?

[Perrserker] Perrserker.

Pika, pika!

[Ash] Hey, Nickit!

Where could they have gone? Huh?

[Goh] Of course.

This fountain is where I caught Sobble!

Perfect!

Inteleon!

I'm trying to track a trio of Nickit.

-Would you search for them with me? -Inteleon!

[grunts]

Inteleon.

[Goh] Ash, this way!

Huh? Got it, Goh!

[all mumbling]

[chomping]

[all grunting]

You won't get away, so save your strength.

From this point on, you're working for Team Rocket.

-Perrserker. -Boss Perrserker's the best!

Luring them here reflects our skills and sass!

And if you could keep on raking in the food and Pokémon,

it would be such a blast!

Wobbuffet!

Hey. Why are we posing as its g*ons, anyway?

Because it's totally paying off! You go with what works!

[all snarl]

Team Rocket!

So you were pulling Perrserker's strings!

Not even close!

We happen to be Perrserker's g*ons, thank you very much.

We're the pacifists who are being manipulated here!

-What's that mean? -Hey, who really cares?

[Goh] You're going to return the food you stole!

[scoffs] Such an impudent Twerp!

It's time to take Pikachu and all your Pokémon.

-Wait a second. -[Jessie] Huh?

Our plan was to poach the Twerp's Pokémon tomorrow!

[Jessie] Oops. My bad.

-So, we stop? -[Meowth] Puh-lease!

[both] Huh?

Don't put off stealing tomorrow what you can steal today.

That was profound.

The evil ideal!

All right, come on down!

[squawking]

-[thuds] -Here we go!

[Jessie and James] Our secret Rocket Prize Master!

What did we get this time?

-[Jessie] The Serene Pokémon, Hattrem! -[Hattrem] Hattrem!

-[James] The Devious Pokémon, Morgrem! -[Morgrem] Morgrem!

-Get ready for Twerpish defeat! -Let's go, Pikachu!

-Pika! -[Cinderace] Cin.

-Huh? What, Cinderace? -Cinde!

-Cin, Cinderace! -[all] Nickit.

I've got it. Now, I see.

Ash, would you mind if we handled this all by ourselves, please?

-Really? Then go for it! -Pika, pika!

I appreciate that! All right.

Let's go now, Cinderace, Inteleon, Grookey!

[Pokémon yell]

[laughs]

You think that you can frighten us?

We'll use as many Pokémon as we have Charms!

What do you mean?

[Jessie and James] Our secret Rocket Prize Master!

Our secret Rocket Prize Master!

Prize Master masters! Yeah!

[Jessie] The Big Rock Pokémon, Stonjourner!

-[Stonjourner] Stonjourner! -[James] The Sheep Pokémon, Dubwool!

[Dubwool] Dubwool!

[Jessie] The Rush Pokémon, Arrokuda!

[Arrokuda] Arrokuda!

[James] The Gulp Pokémon, Cramorant!

[Cramorant] Cramorant!

[Jessie and James snickering]

-Do you think you can you take them? -Oh, yeah.

I've gotta deal with all this. Otherwise, I'll never make it to Mew!

[mumbling]

[James] And leading the pack, Boss Perrserker!

-[Nickit muttering] -Cin. Cinderace.

-Nick, nickit. -Cinde!

[tense music]

Hattrem, Brutal Swing! Stonjourner, use Stomp!

Dubwool, use Tackle!

Hattrem!

-Dubwool, dubwool, dubwool! -[Goh] Cinderace, Inteleon, dodge it!

-[grunting] -[thuds]

-[James] Morgrem, use Sucker Punch! -Cin!

[all snickering]

[all grunting]

[Nickit squeaking]

[Perrserker grumbling]

[Dubwool bleats]

Cinde?

-[Dubwool grunts] -[Cinderace shouts]

[Goh] Was that an Arrokuda attack launched from Cramorant's mouth?

[Arrokuda snarling]

-Huh? -Pika?

-Arrokuda. -Intel!

-Hattrem! -Inteleon!

We've gotta stop this! Let's go, Grookey!

[Grookey screeching]

[both yelling]

[Nickit grunting]

-Whoa! That's awesome! -The Nickit evolved!

-[chimes] -[Rotom Phone] Thievul.

The Fox Pokémon. A Dark type.

Thievul use their flexible bodies and sharp claws to steal food.

-Cinderace. -Thievul.

Serker!

[all snarling]

[both grumbling]

-[yells] -[Perrserker] Perrseker!

[groans]

[whimpers]

[James] Boss Perrserker!

[both grumbling]

[both chittering]

[gulps]

[Jessie gasps]

[whimsical music]

Uh! Now's our chance!

-Pyro Ball! -Cinderace.

Cinde! Cinderace!

[Hattrem quivering]

[thuds]

-Inteleon, use Snipe Shot! -Intel!

[squawks]

-[groans] -[chitters]

-Wait! This can't be happening! -All of our Pokémon are out cold!

Get The Prize Master! Hurry up! Let's go!

[James] Let's see. [grunts]

-What's wrong? -Quick! Hurry!

[James] This thing won't fit into the slot!

[Team Rocket grunting]

How strange.

[all whimper]

Cinderace, now, use Pyro Ball!

[grunting]

-Cinderace! -[Team Rocket whimpering]

[blasts]

[Team Rocket] Since who knows when we're blasting off again!

[Wobbuffet] Wobbuffet!

[Ash laughs] You did it!

[all mumble]

[Pokémon cheering]

To celebrate your evolution,

and for keeping the peace in this neighborhood of ours!

[all] Vul!

That's so cool! Good for you!

[Thievul] Thievul.

[all] Zig?

[Zigzagoons munching]

[all whining]

[Thievul mumbles]

Thievul.

[all whining]

I assume you're all pretty hungry too.

[Goh] We sure are! Thanks!

[all chomping]

Those three Thievul,

they've really picked up on the example you set as their leader.

[Cinderace] Cinde.

[lively music]

[Ash] Ah! I'm totally full and happy.

A good sleep, and I'm ready for tomorrow!

-Pika. -You're going to battle Leon.

I'm so psyched I may not fall asleep!

[Rotom Phone warbling]

[beeps]

Huh?

-[Ash] Goh, what's up? -Sorry, Ash, it looks like…

I won't be able to see your battle tomorrow.

Huh?

That was an emergency communication from Project Mew.

I've gotta pack up and leave ASAP.

Okay!

You'd better go and find Mew right away!

I will! And you'd better win that match!

Got it!

[Ash] Promise!

-[Goh] And the next time we meet… -[both] We'll be smiling!

[narrator] In order to follow their respective dreams,

Ash and Goh must now head down different paths,

as the journey continues!
