Post by bunniefuu »

NARRATOR: Having been a resounding success with all of

its many visitors, the Twinleaf Festival is now

coming to an end.

DAWN: Awesome! These delicious Combee honey pies

are the absolute best!

PIPLUP: [PLEASED]

ASH: Well, these Electrode-shaped baby custards

aren't too shabby either!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

BROCK: Hey, folks, don't you think you're overdoing it a bit?

JOHANNA: If you get a stomachache, you're on your own!

DAWN: Mom, we'll be fine!

It's not everyday we go to a festival, you know?

ASH: All right, next!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

BARRY: Come on, come on! If you crazy festival people don't

watch where you're going, I'm going to have to

fine all of you! It's Ash!

ASH: Barry!

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

Sometimes it's hard to know,

Which way you're supposed to go.

But deep inside, you know you're strong.

If you follow your heart, you can't be wrong.

Stand up! [Stand up!]

For what is right.

Be brave!

Get ready to fight.

Hold on! [Hold on!]

We're friends for life.

And if we come,

together as one,

Complete the quest, that we've begun,

We will win the battle!

Galactic Battles! Pokémon!

ASH: Hey.why are you here?

BARRY: Why do you think? The Twinleaf Festival! I took a

break from the rigors of training and came back home just

for the occasion!

ASH: Oh yeah! You andDawn are both from Twinleaf Town,

of course!

JOHANNA: Say, Barry, welcome back!

JOHANNA: You see, Dawn, Barry's father and I have been friends

for a long time!

DAWN: I never knew that!

BARRY: Of course! Wait, who's she, anyway?

DAWN: She's my mom, Barry.

BARRY: Right, got it! Nice to see you.

Okay, come on, Ash, let's battle!

ASH: [SURPRISED]

BARRY: It's all about battling!

I'm here to win the Pokémon battle event, and that's the

main attraction!

ASH: You're entering, too? That's great!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

BARRY: And Dawn, you're going to be the referee!

DAWN: Me?

BARRY: Okay, guys, this way!

ASH: Behind you!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

DAWN: But Ash, wait a minute!

PIPLUP: [DISTRESSED]

JOHANNA: So Dawn, why don't you just go with them?

DAWN: Why, Mom?

JOHANNA: Well, you're entering tomorrow's challenge, aren't

you? It might give you a few ideas.

SAYER: Johanna!

SAYER: Ah, there you are, Johanna!

JOHANNA: What's the matter?

SAYER: One of our booth salespeople suddenly became ill,

so we're one salesperson short.

JOHANNA: Dear! That's a problem.

BROCK: If you don't mind, I'd love to help out!

JOHANNA: You would, Brock? That'd be wonderful!

SAYER: Well! So it's all settled! Time's a-wasting!

Let's go!

ASH: Pikachu! Use Quick Attack now!

PIKACHU: [QUICK ATTACK MOVE]

HERACROSS: [UNIMPRESSED]

BARRY: Heracross, get them back! Use Horn Attack!

HERACROSS: [HORN ATTACK MOVE]

PIKACHU: [IMPACT] / [DETERMINED]

ASH: Hey Barry, not bad!

BARRY: Not bad?Awesome! Truth is, I'm a gazillion times

stronger than you'll ever be in a gazillion years!

DAWN: What's with you, Barry?

PIPLUP: [CONCERNED]

BARRY: Whoa! Well, I'll be a yellow-nosed Makuhita!

Check that out!

ASH: It's a Xatu!

DAWN: Really?

POKEDEX: Xatu. The Mystic Pokémon. This unusual Pokémon

can see the past and the future as well. It watches the sun's

movement all day long.

BARRY: No time to goof off! Heracross! Let's move!

ASH: Hey, wait!

DAWN: But what about the battle?

BARRY: Sorry, but I've got no time to be battling at the

moment, since it's finally here!

DAWN: What's here?

ASH: Barry, wait up!

DAWN: Where are you going?

BARRY: Duh, straight ahead!

I'm positive I saw it a long time ago!

ASH: Come on, saw what?

HERACROSS: [EXCITED]

ASH: [SURPRISED]

ALAKAZAM: [PLAYFUL]

MR. MIME: [PLAYFUL]

BARRY: Yes, I knew it! So it wasn't a dream after all!

ASH: Is this part of the festival, too?

DAWN: Well.I doubt it. Even if it were, no one would come out

here to watch.

BARRY: It was before and during the festival.

BARRY: But at the time, I was too young! So they didn't let me

go in the tent back then.

CLOWN: Hello, hello! So you must be Pokémon Trainers! Wonderful!

Glad you've come! Time's a-wasting. Let's go!

BARRY: Don't need to tell me!

DAWN: Let's go where?

ASH: Yeah! What's this stuff all about?

CLOWN: Allow me to escort all of you to a wonderful place that

connects the past, present, and the future! Off you go!

ASH: [STRUGGLING]

ASH: What's this?

ASH: Pikachu! Barry! Dawn!

ASH: A Nidoking! Right?

ASH: Nidoqueen! But how come those two are so big?

COMBEE [MANY]: [FOCUSED]

MOTHIM: [FOCUSED]

AIPOM: [EXCITED]

ASH: Did I shrink? Oh, man, what's going on here?

MIGHTYENA X : [AGGRESSIVE]

ASH: Mightyena?

ASH: That was close!

NATU: [EXCITED]

ASH: Natu! I'd better find everybody quick!

DAWN: Piplup! Ash! Barry! Hey!

FEAROW: [CALLING]

FEEBAS: [PLAYFUL]

DAWN: How did they get so big and I get so small?

Not only that, where am I?

NATU: [PEACEFUL]

DAWN: Natu. Let's see.

Natu.The Little Bird Pokémon.

Natu evolves into Xatu and skillfully picks food from

cactus plants, avoiding buds and spines.

It appears to skip about to move.

NATU: [EXCITED]

DAWN: I've got to find Piplup! I need everyone's help!

DAWN: Oh no! My Poké Balls aren't opening up!

I'll find Piplup myself!

EXEGGUTOR : [PLAYFUL]

BARRY: Wow, these Pokémon are huge! Who knew it'd be so fun?

I'm sure glad I came here!

NATU: [EXCITED]

BARRY: A Natu?

BARRY: Oh yeah! Heracross has got to see this!

Wait, where is Heracross anyway? Hey! Heracross!

IZZY: How nice, very nice! Nicest I've ever seen!

CARA: You think? I'm worried that there are things

we should be doing!

SAYER: All right, you're up! I'll stop by later.

BROCK: Great! Just leave it to me!

SAYER: Good luck, buddy!

BROCK: Okay, help me out, g*ng!

SUDOWOODO: [APPEARING]

HAPPINY: [APPEARING]

CROAGUNK: [APPEARING]

BROCK: Hey, folks! It's time to play the Hit the Camerupt Game!

Just hit the Camerupt and win yourself an awesome prize!

BROCK: Come on! Step right up!

JESSIE: Chop chop, people! Step right up! Test your skill!

It's time for the thrill-packed Goldeen Scooping Game!

JAMES: Perfect for people of all ages, young and seasoned, and

with a flair for having fabulous fun!

MEOWTH: And for a limited time: you scoop it, you keep it!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

BOY A: Yay!

BOY B: Got it! Hey!

BOY A: It ripped again! There's no way you can get Goldeen with

these dumb scoops.

BOY B: I'm starting to think these people are

tryingto rip us off!

JESSIE: What? How dare you!

JAMES: Cease! Remember the customer pays the bill!

MEOWTH: Yeah, but still! If I want to be called a cheat,

I'll do it myself!

GOLDEEN CATCHER: Pardon me.

GOLDEEN CATCHER: I'd like to try this, please.

JAMES: Watch. This bloke's good.

JAMES: That efficient stance.those eyes, waiting for

the magic moment to move. This man may in fact be the infamous

Goldeen Scoop Master!

BARRY: Okay, Heracross, where are you? I know this tree.

Of course! It's the same tree where I caught

Heracross way back when!

HERACROSS: [EXCITED]

BARRY: Wow! Memory lane! Whoa, now what's this jar of Honey

doing here? Hey, why not? I'll just take advantage of the

situation and brush some on!

HERACROSS: [EXCITED]

BARRY: I can't believe it, Heracross! You got really big,

too! No wait, I shrunk! I guess there's only one thing to do!

Somebody out there's going to get fined like they've never

been fined before! Natu again!

ASH: Pikachu! Dawn! Barry! Come on, guys, where are you?

RATTATA: [INTENT]

ASH: Whoa, it sure makes you feel weird being buzzed by a

tiny little Rattata!

SPEAROW: [ANGRY]

ASH: Sorry! I didn't mean it!

ASH: Pikachu!

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

ASH: Hey, Pikachu, it looks like you didn't

shrink down like me!

SPEAROW: [ANGRY]

SPEAROW X : [AGGRESSIVE]

ASH: What the.

PIKACHU: [INSISTENT]

ASH: Pikachu, let's move it!

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

SPEAROW X : [AGGRESSIVE]

PIKACHU: [STARTLED]

SPEAROW X : [AGGRESSIVE]

PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

SPEAROW X : [IMPACT]

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

SPEAROW X : [PAINED]

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

ASH: Thanks, Pikachu, I'm fine!

PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

DAWN: Man, I wonder where Piplup and everyone else could be now?

ARIADOS X : [ATTACK]

DAWN: Ariados!

ARIADOS: [AGGRESSIVE]

DAWN: Stay away from me!

PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

ARIADOS X : [IMPACT]

BROCK: How quiet can it get?

SUDOWOODO: [BORED]

HAPPINY: [BORED]

BROCK: Must be nice to have all those customers.

BOY A: Wow! Look at all the Goldeen!

BOY B: He hasn't even ripped a single scoop! We're talking true

Goldeen Scoop Master for sure!

JESSIE: That jerk! He'll clean out our Goldeen

cache in no time!

MEOWTH: And if one dude walks away with the whole lot,

Sayer'll clean out us!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JAMES: Fear not! Real-life skills to the rescue!

JAMES: Our mansion fountain made for good training!

You're looking at one skilled scooper!

GOLDEEN CATCHER: Well, then. Time to catch the rest.

JAMES: Stop that scoop, sir!

JAMES: You're good.but here in the Sinnoh region.that adds up

to one thing.second best!

GOLDEEN CATCHER: Second best?

Then please tell me who's the best?

JAMES: Yours truly!

GOLDEEN CATCHER: You fool! There is no one alive better than me!

I challenge you!

JAMES: Fine! If I am victorious,

you'll forfeit every last one of your Goldeen!

GOLDEEN CATCHER: Fine! And if I am victorious, every last

Goldeen will be mine and mine alone!

JAMES: Ten minutes should tell the tale. The scooper with the

most Goldeen wins. But, one scooper slip of a rip, and

you're disqualified and get zip. Agreed?

GOLDEEN CATCHER: You're on!

JESSIE: It's freezing, Meowth! Why the chill?

MEOWTH: That's the wintry wind of fate!

If James blows this duel,

our golden Goldeen Scoop gig's kaput! Then we'll be blowing in

thewind, too!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

IZZY: Nice! A lovely showdown fit for a festival! Very nice!

CARA: Oh, you think? But he's battling against a customer!

ASH: Oh yeah! Yeehaw! All right! Ride 'em!

PIKACHU: [PLEASED]

NATU: [EXCITED]

ASH: Natu again! Hold on. Natu evolves into Xatu!

ASH: I wonder if that Natu knows something.

Okay, after it, Pikachu!

PIKACHU: [DETERMINED]

DAWN: Wow, I'm really having a fun time!

PIPLUP: [HAPPY]

NATU: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Natu again! Can't be a coincidence.

Okay, Piplup, follow it!

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

BOY A: Wow, that guy who runs the booth is a real

Goldeen Scoop whiz!

BOY B: Well, he might be a whiz, but the other guy's so amazing

that he's nothing less than a Goldeen Scoop Master!

JESSIE: I never would've thought training at a mansion fountain

would be worthwhile!

MEOWTH: Keep it up, James! Scoop him silly!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

GOLDEEN CATCHER: No, not that!

JAMES: And now this!

GOLDEEN CATCHER: As we agreed, I shall forfeit my

Goldeen. Farewell.

JAMES: Yay!

JESSIE: You scooped him!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JAMES: When it comes to the Goldeen Scoop game, James from

Team Rocket rules with a scoop of iron!

BOY B: We're sorry we called you a cheat, mister! Pretty please,

sir, won't you allow us to play some more, please?

BOY A: Wow, mister, you totally rule! I'm going to train a whole

lot harder so I can be just like you!

CROWD - GUY: Yeah, me, too!

CROWD - BOY: Me, too!

CROWD - GIRL : I want to play, too!

JESSIE: Sure thing! Play all you want!

MEOWTH: Go nuts! We've got Goldeen by the gob!

Scoop until you droop!

ASH: [STARTLED]

ASH: [PAINED]

fined big time!

DAWN: Barry! And Ash!

ASH: Great to see everyone's all right!

PIKACHU: [RELIEVED]

HERACROSS: [RELIEVED]

NATU: [CALLING]

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

NATU: [INSISTENT]

BARRY: Natu! I was chasing after it, hoping it might be able to

do something or know something to help us all get back to our

regular size!

DAWN: So was I! Hey! So what do we do?

ASH: You've got to help us out! Natu, tell us!

NATU: [CALLING]

BARRY: Hey, look, it's the tent!

But where in the world did it go?

CAMERUPT: [CHALLENGING]

DAWN: What?

ASH: It's a Camerupt!

CAMERUPT: [AGGRESSIVE]

DAWN: Piplup, quick! Whirlpool, let's go!

PIPLUP: [WHIRLPOOL MOVE]

ASH: Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

CAMERUPT: [ANGRY]

ASH: Camerupt didn't feel a thing!

DAWN: How can that be?

BARRY: You've got to hit Camerupt on its side!

HERACROSS: [DETERMINED]

BARRY: Don't just stand there! Move!

BARRY: Now! Aim for the bull's-eyes!

DAWN: Bull's-eyes?

BARRY: Heracross, Double-Edge, let's go!

HERACROSS: [DOUBLE-EDGE MOVE]

BARRY: Come on, Dawn! Call an attack, quick!

DAWN: Okay, I guess! Piplup, Bubble Beam, go!

PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

BARRY: Ash, Ash, Pikachu, Pikachu! You attack as well!

ASH: Right! Pikachu, quick, Thunderbolt let's go!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

NATU: [CALLING]

DAWN: Whoa!

BARRY: Yes!

PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

ASH: [STRUGGLING]

ASH: So what are we doing out here?

DAWN: We're back to normal!

PIKACHU: [RELIEVED]

PIPLUP: [RELIEVED]

HERACROSS: [INTRIGUED]

ASH: [SURPRISED]

BARRY: Xatu! Hey, slow it down!

PALMER: Ouch! Boy oh boy. What just happened?

Hey you, you all right? Barry?

BARRY: Dad? It's you!

ASH: Dad?

DAWN: You're Barry's father? Whoa.

PALMER: Yes. I'm Palmer. Nice to meet you!

SAYER: So, you're busy, eh? I've never seen so many people

at a booth before! Run the Octillery snacks booth like this

tomorrow, and we're set!

JAMES: Right! Just leave it to us!

JESSIE: We'll run that stand into the history books!

MEOWTH: You're going to love the way it cooks!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PALMER: Interesting! So you went to Xatu's forest as well!

BARRY: It wasn't a dream, was it?

But things didn't seem right.

PALMER: You tell me if it was a dream or reality. See, it all

depends on you.

BARRY: Dad, what do you mean?

PALMER: I mean the past creates the future. Depending on how

hard you work in the present, that effort becomes your past,

and that connects to your future!

BARRY: Wish I knew what you were talking about.

PALMER: It is said that Xatu is a Pokémon that can see into both

the past and the future. Your youth may have caused it to see

vast possibilities, and so it decided to remind you of a few

past events!

DAWN: Okay, let's see.

Today, Piplup, you pulled me out of a big jam!

PIPLUP: [PROUD]

ASH: And remember when we were being chased by that bunch of

Spearow? Youknow, back in the forest?

PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

NARRATOR: With Natu and Xatu as their guides, a mysterious day

in the forest has given our heroes a mystery tour they'll

never forget, as the Twinleaf Festival draws to a close.

DAWN: Barry, how did you know to hit the bull's-eyes.you know,

the ones that were on the side of that gigantic Camerupt?

BARRY: Good question. How did I know?

BROCK: Boring!
