17x08 - Grooming Furfrou!

[bunniefuu]

Wait, please!

[man] Bonnie?

Coming!

You're going to get lost if you keep wandering off...

I'm fine!

Wow, I've never seen that Pokémon before...

That is a Furfrou.

Furfrou?Pi?

[woman] Furfrou, the Poodle Pokémon.

Furfrou were assigned the task of protecting kings who ruled

the Kalos region in ancient times.

It looks different from the one in the Pokédex.

It probably went to the groomer!

There's a really famous Pokémon groomer in this town!

Look at this!

[Ash] Pokémon groomer?

[Serena] They're like hairdressers for Pokémon.

In the world of Pokémon groomers, he's a superstar!

Wish I could meet him...

Yeah, I wish I could meet him, too!

Fur!

Bonnie!Hey! Are you okay?

Pikachu!

I'm so sorry!Pika?

That Furfrou's with me!

Furfrou.

Oh, no!

You scraped your knees!

Don't worry about me!

I'm just fine!

[Ash] "Grooming Furfrou!"

[Clemont] That should do it.

Dedenne, how are you doing?

Dedenne, Dedenne...

Denne!

[narrator] As the Kalos League continues to inspire Ash every step of the

way, our heroes are now on route to Ash's second Gym battle

challenge at the Cyllage City Gym.

I'm so sorry.

Really.

Don't worry!

I'm fine!

Bonnie means it!

Now this is like the Furfrou in the Pokédex.

Furfrou still hasn't been groomed yet.

I'm Jessica.

My name's Ash.

This is Pikachu.

Pika, Pikachu!

I'm Serena.

My name's Bonnie.

This is my big brother.

I'm Clemont.

Jessica's a keeper!

I mean, please take care of my brother?

Bonnie, stop!

I told you not to do that again!

So embarrassing...

I hope you'll think about it, please Jessica?

Uh...

Oh dear...

Think about what?

I can't look after my brother forever.

So, it's my job to look for a dependable wife for him!

You see--I'm studying to be a Pokémon groomer.

Wow!

Are you going to groom your Furfrou?

I really want to, but every time I try to do anything

with its fur, it runs off.

I only tried to brush it a bit earlier

and that's when it ran away.

I get it now.

Furfrou are very intelligent and know exactly what they want.

They won't listen to a trainer until they

see that person as their partner.

So, does that mean Furfrou doesn't see you

as its real trainer yet?

Hey!

Bonnie!

I'm sorry.

It's okay, Bonnie.

You've got it exactly right.

Now I wanna see how Pokémon groomers style Furfrou

even more!

I do too, I do too!

Why not see where I work?

To make up for those scraped knees...

This's the grooming salon where I'm being trained.

We've seen this before, remember?

Hey look, that's the guy we saw in Serena's travel guide!

Wow.

Talk about an unbelievable coincidence...

It's him!

Jessica!

Are you finished giving your Furfrou a walk?

Sherman, I'd like you to introduce you to Clemont

and Ash.

And Bonnie and Serena.

I saw an article about you in the guidebook!

You're a grooming superstar!

It's such an honor to meet you!

I do think 'superstar' is a bit of an exaggeration...

Look at all those scissors!

They're all very interested in learning about Pokémon groomers.

Well, in that case, why don't you fill them in?

Sure!

Pika!Furfrou!

Look at all the berries.

You noticed!

Well, Bonie, there's a lot more to grooming Po - kémon

than simply grooming their fur...

We give each Pokémon a thorough health exam.

You can tell if a Pokémon is eating well.simply by feeling

its fur.

So the amount of fur that gets cut depends

on how healthy it is.

You have to know about all that, too?

Learning about nutrition is a must!

For example, we recommend a Rawst or Lum Berry for when

a Pokémon's not feeling well.

And see?

A Tamato Berry can help stimulate their appetite.

Pika!

Wow...

It feels like my head's gonna explode...

Pika, Pi!

[Jessica] We also have ten different types of shampoo and conditioner to

choose from, depending on the fur quality of the client.

That's incredible.

Take a look at the scissors and combs we use.

Each custom made for whatever style we're doing.

Dedenne, look at them all!

Denne!

[Sherman] That reminds me!

I just finished up with two more clients.

Would you all like to have a little peek?

[all] Sure!

Jessica, please bring the Furfrou in.

Right!

Wow, they've got so much style!

[woman] Furfrou.

The Poodle Pokémon.

So they're both Furfrou, as well?

They don't look like the same kind of Pokémon at all.

You can say that again.

They're both just so elegant!

I want to style my Furfrou like that.

I just hope it'll let me someday.

Of course you'll be able to style Furfrou!

Oh, this is all so dreamy...

She's right, Jessica.

It's important to be confident!

It is true her Furfrou is quite stubborn, though.

It won't let her groom it at all.

Yeah, that's what she told us.

It is my wish that Jessica's and Furfrou's

hearts will become one someday...

But still, there's no need to rush things.

I guess...

Wait, is this your first time in the city?

Yeah!

I have an idea.

Why don't you show them around on your lunch break, Jessica?

Great!

There's a spot with a beautiful view just up

the street a little bit.

Awesome!

I can't wait to see it!

[Jessie] Why hello there, Pikachu...Pika?

[James] How would you like to be a furshionista?

[Jessie] Sparkly.

[James] Spangly.

[Meowth] Twinkly.

[James] Glittery.

[Jessie] Snip, snip...

Pika?

This is none other than superstar hair stylist

extraordinaire Jessally!

Hold on.

Jessally?

Yes!

Winner of the crown for best makeup!

And the gold medal for styling!

And the golden scissors award for hair design!

And other accolades too numerous to mention!

Success for me is a piece of designer cake!

Pika!

Why haven't I heard of any of those?

[James] A top hairstylist, Jessally has now become a Pokémon groomer!

That's right.

Why not take a look at my creations?

Pika?

Watch Jessally transform the most unsightly Pokémon and enjoy

the Wobbuffet Transformathon!

Wobb, Wobb, Wobb, Wobb, Wobb, Wobb.

Wobbuffet!

Wobb, Wobb, Wobb.

Presenting the Curly Top!

Wobbuff, Wobbuff, Wobb!

And feast your eyes on this!

The Fear-ican!

Wobb, Wobbuffet!

[James] The chic fringe look!

Wobbufffet!

They're all kind of boring...

The Curly Top was cute!

And that's only the tip of the styling iceberg.

Get ready for the main act!

[James] The Wob-bouffant!

Wobbuffet!

[James] The haunting, silky smile look!

Wobbuffet!

The flowing perm...

Wobbuffet!

And rich girl ringlet curls!

Wobb, Wobbuff, Wobbuff!

That's it!

The last word in styling!

That wasn't so bad.

When it comes to styling sass, I'm top of the class!

You there, Pikachu.

Care to experience a small sample of my grooming magic?

Pi?

Pika, Pika.

I think Pikachu looks fine just like this.

Aww...

Serena, how about Fennekin?

I know it's already a cutie pie, but maybe some styling will make

it an even cutier pie!

That sounds like a good idea!

Come out, Fennekin.

Fenn, Fenn!

How would you like to do some styling on my Fennekin?

Uh, we want Pikachu.

This is the chance to catch a Kalos region Pokémon!

I accept.

My grooming skills are second to none!

I'll happily style your Fennekin!

Fenn!Okay, thanks!

Jessally performs her magic in private,

so please come back in an hour.

But I wanted to watch her perform her magic!

Jessally's grooming magic is an industry secret,

so it stays hush hush!

But it will only take an hour.

Well worth the time to create Fennekin fashion!

Okay.

See you in an hour.

I really wanted to watch how Jessally styles Fennekin...

I'm sure you did...

[Ash] It's Officer Jenny!

Thank you for all of your help during the Rhyhorn race!

You must be talking about my second cousin.

Here's a picture of me when I was a cadet attending

the Officer Jenny Training Academy.

Wow, there certainly are a lot of you.

I knew it...

Now, if you don't mind, there's something I'd like to ask you.

What's that?

Have you seen any con artists?

Con artists?

That's right!

There's a woman who claims to be a famous Pokémon groomer,

but once she gets a Pokémon, she and her g*ng vanish!

Tell us more!Pika!

It's a group of four who likes to dress really flamboyantly.

Two wear flashy glasses.

It's them!Pika, Pika!

Fennekin's in trouble!

Pika!I guess we're too late.

Are you sure this is where you met them?

Yeah.

Hey, Furfrou, are you picking up on their scent?

Fur, Furfrou!

Furfrou, wait for me!

Fur!Pika!

Quick, we've gotta follow those two!

[all] "Who's that Pokémon?"

[all] "It's Furfrou!"

Furfrou!

[Meowth] It's in the bag!

Fennekin's our premier Kalos collection Pokémon!

One of many, I'm sure!

It's time for plan number two!

Of course, by that you mean catch Pikachu!

What's that called?

A Furfrou!

Ooh, let's catch that!

Furfrou!

Fur, Furfrou!

[Serena] Don't let them get away!

Hey, give Fennekin back!

Prepare for trouble, pushy twerps!

And make it double, we're primo perps!

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all people within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love!

To extend our reach to the stars above!

Jessie!

And James!

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

Surrender now or prepare for one stylish fight!

Meowth, that's right!

Wobbuffet!

Team Rocket!

Return the Pokémon you stole!

[Meowth] If you want them, you'll have to come and get them!

Manectric, let's go!

Mane!

Manectric?

[woman] Manectric, the Discharge Pokémon.

Manectric collects electricity from the air,

creating a thundercloud above its head.

Its mane gives off a strong electric current.

Amazing...

Inkay!

Gangway!

Kay!

Use Thunderbolt!

Ectric!

Dodge it!

Kay!

Now, Tackle!

Inkay!

Manectric, Quick Attack!

Mane!

Use, Psybeam!

Manectric!

[Jenny] Manectric!Officer Jenny!

Psybeam's added effect is causing it to be confused!

Return!

Leave them to me!

Let's do this, Pikachu!

Quick Attack!

Pika!

Pi, Pi, Pi, Pi, Pi, Pi, Pi, Pi, Pi.

Pika!

No!

Pikachu, are you okay?

There's gotta be something we can do to help...

Clemont, help them!

It's okay, Clemont!

We can still battle, right Pikachu?Pika!

Finish this with Tackle!

Inkay!

Inkay, Inkay, Inkay!

Pika! Ka!

Aim behind you and use Iron Tail!

Pika! Chu!

Dodge it!

Pikachu!

Stay put and use Thunderbolt!Pika!

Pikachu!

Wobbuffet, you know what to do!

Wobbuffet!

Pikachu,jump up!

Inkay!

Ash and Pikachu are... awesome...

Pi...

[Jessica] Ash is acting as Pikachu's eyes while the battle goes on...

I used to be surprised at that kind of stuff, too.

But now I know this is something only they can pull off!

Because they trust each other!

Trust each other?

Won't you please let me at least brush you?

See?

I promise I won't cut your fur.

Please?

May I?

I know you'll love it...

Use Tackle!Kay!

Jump to the right and dodge it!Pika!

In the meantime, I think I'll catch us another Pokémon!

Fur, Furfrou!

No,Furfrou!

Fur?

Furfrou!

Well! We've had quite a haul today!

Wobbuffet!

Fur, Furfrou...

My poor Furfrou...

Furfrou, Furfrou.

Furfrou.

Furfrou!

My Furfrou!

Give me back my Furfrou right now!

Jessica, you'll hurt yourself!

No, Furfrou!Furfrou!

Clemont!

Bunnelby, come out and help us!

Bunn!

All right, Bunnelby, use Mud Shot and destroy that cage!

Bunn!

Bunnelby!

[Jessie] Go, Wobbuffet!

Wobbuff!

Bunnelby, use Dig!

Bunnelby!

Wobb, Wobb, Wobb, Wobbuff!

Pikachu, use Thunderbolt, straight ahead!

Pikachu!

Frou!

Why you... take this!

You're safe!

Let me wipe that icky ink off of you.

You're all clean!

Pika, Pika!

[coughing]

Hey, do you want to have a battle with them?Frou!

I've got it!

Use Charge Beam!

Furfrou!

We're blasting off again!

Wobbuffet!

Fenn, Fenn! Kin!

Thank goodness you're all right!

I'll return all of these stolen Poké Balls to their Trainers.

Thank you, Ash--and everyone!

No prob!

Hey, Clemont?

Didn't we just see Furfrou listen to Jessica?

Yeah, you're right!

Pika!

Maybe that means Furfrou's starting to see you as its

partner now!

I'm sure of it!

Oh, Furfrou... Will you finally let me style you now?Frou!

Furfrou!

First, let's get you all brushed.

Furfrou!

Look at that big smile.

Such confidence!

What a welcome sight.

Seeing Jessica and Furfrou look so happy is so nice.

It looks like you're at the peak of health!

So what do you think?

Beautiful!

And such style!

True perfection!

Thank you so much!Furfrou!

Thanks to you too.

I owe so much to every one of you!

It's because you connected with Furfrou's heart!

I'm going to make the bond between Furfrou and me grow

deeper and deeper and groom as much as I possibly can...

Someday, I'll be a famous groomer!

And when you are, will you style my Fennekin?

Of course!

[Sherman] Take care!

Next time you travel this way, please stop by!

'Kay, goodbye!

Pika, Pika!

It must be nice to have something you can be really

passionate about...

What'd you say?

Oh, nothing.

I can't wait to get to Lumiose City!

[narrator] Jessica has forged a real bond with Furfrou and grown

as a Pokémon groomer.

Now, our heroes hit the road again, as the journey continues!
