18x21 - Defending the homeland!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: As our heroes make their way to the Laverre City

Gym and Ash's next Gym battle, it's time for a break,

and a little lunch!

CLEMONT: How do you like it?

It's a new recipe I came up with while I was away.

CLEMONT: I used Berry Juice as a base along with Big Mushrooms.

BONNIE: It's so yummy!

SERENA: Yeah. So good!

ASH: This food is the best. Clemont, you rule!

CLEMONT: Glad you like it. Thanks!

DEDENNE

CLEMONT: That's so nice of you. Thanks, Goodra!

GOODRA

SERENA: You're all friends.

BONNIE: Which means it's time to make up!

BELLSPROUT

KEANAN: What's up, Bellsprout?

BELLSPROUT

KEANAN: Are you referring to that Goodra?

KEANAN: Oh my

You're just a kid on a quest

To be the best of the best

Someday you're destined for power and glory

You know you're up to the test

There's only one way to tell this story

Be a hero!

Be a hero!

All the power is at your command

Face your fears and show you're a hero

The future of the world is in your hand

Pokémon!

ASH: Okay. Now that we're all done eating, let's get going!

PIKACHU

BELLSPROUT?!

GOODRA?!

GOODRA!

BELLSPROUT!

KEANAN: Oh Well, so it is you. It's been such a long time,

Goomy! So sorry. Of course I can see you're Goodra now...

ASH: 'Scuse

ASH: It sure looks like you and Goodra know each other

KEANAN: Who are you?

ASH: Oh yeah, my name's Ash. This is my partner, Pikachu.

PIKACHU

SERENA: I'm Serena. It's nice to meet you.

BONNIE: Hi there! Bonnie's my name. And this is Dedenne.

DEDENNE

BONNIE: I'd like you to meet my big brother.

CLEMONT: My name's Clemont. It's a pleasure to meet you.

KEANAN: Keanan's my name. This Goomy, I mean this Goodra, used

to make its home in the wetlands just beyond where we're standing

right now. I happen to be the caretaker of this area.

ASH: Wow! That's so cool! So this is where Goodra comes from.

PIKACHU

BONNIE: Hey, Ash?

Why don't we go and see where Goodra used to live?

ASH: That sounds good. Whadda you say there, Goodra?

GOODRA?

BELLSPROUT!

GOODRA

KEANAN: I see. So Goodra's with you these days, eh Ash?

KEANAN: I'm glad to see you've met some good people.

GOODRA

KEANAN: All right, so how does your old home look?

GOODRA

BONNIE: I still don't get why Goomy fell from that flock

of Swanna back then

SERENA: Me neither. Remember how sick Goomy was?

ASH: Why did you leave the wetlands

in the first place, Goodra?

GOODRA

KEANAN: It has something to do with the nature

of the wetlands themselves.

ASH: What are you talking about?

KEANAN: There's a spring located here containing water that has

powerful healing effects on the minds and bodies of Pokémon.

CLEMONT: Amazing

KEANAN: Goomy was living here happily with all of its

friends... but suddenly a terrible feud broke out

over that spring.

ASH: A terrible feud?

KEANAN: Other Pokémon from the outside came here and tried

to use force to take control the spring.

CLEMONT: What happened to the other Pokémon?

BONNIE: Are they gone? Did they all run away?

KEANAN: Happily, they're all still living here.

BONNIE: Thank goodness!

DEDENNE!

KEANAN: However...

KEANAN: They've all been forced into a corner of the wetlands.

And they live there in secret.

GOODRA

BELLSPROUT

KEANAN: All right.

CLEMONT: Sure is quiet around here.

SERENA: It's hard to believe there was such fighting.

It's so peaceful

BONNIE: Look!

CLEMONT: Wow! They all must be friends of Goodra's from

when it was living here!

I bet they never thought Goomy would come back evolved

SERENA: I think so, too.

PINSIR!

FLORGES?

GOODRA

LOTAD!

ASH: They're so happy to see Goodra!

PIKACHU

ASH: I've got an idea!

This would be an awesome time to show all your friends how

much you've grown and how strong you are now!

ASH: What was that?

KEANAN: It's coming from their home!

CLEMONT: Are they being att*cked?!

ASH: Goodra, go help them out!

GOODRA!

ASH: We're coming along, too!

PIKACHU

KEANAN: Wait a minute.

This whole thing is a quarrel between wild Pokémon.

It's really not something we should get involved in!

ASH: But, Keanan!

KEANAN: I understand how you feel, Ash.

But still, I don't think it would be fair if you and Pikachu

were to get in the middle of their dispute.

CLEMONT: He means the Pokémon should solve their own problems.

I understand that.

KEANAN: Exactly right.

CLEMONT: Hey, Ash...

ASH: 'Kay, it! I'm not gonna get involved!

But I still wanna cheer for Goodra and its friends!

ASH: Is that okay?

KEANAN: Yes. It would be great to cheer.

MEOWTH: Yup. Something's cooking over there all right.

But I don't think it's time to lower the boom just yet.

JAMES: Then why don't we simply stay here and watch for a bit?

JESSIE: And then when the time is just right, we'll simply

lower that boom and raise our professional status.

WOBBUFFET

ASH: "Who's that Pokémon?"

ASH: "It's Wooper!"

GOODRA

BELLSPROUT

KEANAN: Me, too. I hope they'll be all right...

GOODRA

MEOWTH: Now it's a battle between the top brass!

JAMES: I think it's time for us to make our entrance

JESSIE: It's vital to our professional success for that

Florges to come out on top.

ASH: Who's that?

POKEDEX: Florges. The Garden Pokémon, and the final evolved

form of Flabébé. Long ago, nobles would often ask Florges

to create beautiful gardens for their castles.

You're not the Goomy you were back then!

Believe in yourself and go for it!

PIKACHU

SERENA: Be careful, Goodra!

GOODRA

FLORGES?!

PIKACHU

GOODRA

FLORGES!

GOODRA?

BONNIE: Hey, what was that?

CLEMONT: That was Grassy Terrain.

SERENA: What's Grassy Terrain?

CLEMONT: A move. It increases the power of Grass-type moves!

FLORGES

CLEMONT: That's Solar Beam!

GOODRA

Goodra, wrap it up!

GOODRA

ASH: You can still battle, can't you?

Then show us how strong you are!

PIKACHU

GOODRA!

GOODRA

SERENA: Hey, is that...

CLEMONT: Yeah! Goodra's using Ice Beam!

BONNIE: Goodra learned Ice Beam! Yay! Yay! YAY!

DEDENNE

GOODRA

WOOPER A

ASH: Goodra...

CLEMONT: Where did that come from?

BONNIE: Poor Goodra. You okay?

SERENA: We've gotta do something!

ASH: Right! Goodra. Quick, now return!

PIKACHU

CLEMONT: Florges...

KEANAN: Okay, all done.

I'm certain Goodra will be just fine.

KEANAN: But even so, it needs lots of rest.

ASH: Thanks very much.

KEANAN: I don't think Florges will do anything for a while.

That means a truce for the time being.

BONNIE: Dedenne, keep an eye on Goodra, 'kay?

DEDENNE

WOOPER A?

PIKACHU!

ASH: Thanks for your concern. Leave the rest to us.

QUAGSIRE X

CLEMONT: 'Scuse me Keanan?

Are there any Pokémon around here who are able to use

Psybeam and Shadow Ball?

JESSIE: Well, all I can say is that was too close for comfort.

JAMES: If you had lost, what do you think would've happened to

that little one there?

WOBBUFFET

MEOWTH: It touched us that you'd step up to the plate and battle

as hard as you did so you could keep that little buddy of yours

away from harm. And that's why we jumped in like we did.

MEOWTH: We know that Goodra like I know the back of my paw.

The ups and the downs.

So if we join forces, we can beat that big lug for sure.

MEOWTH: You want to help your little pal, don't you?

MEOWTH: So, listen up and listen well.

MEOWTH: Is it a deal?

GOODRA

ASH: You'd do anything for all of your friends, wouldn't you?

ASH: So when we first met and you wanted to get stronger

it was just so you could help them all out.

GOODRA

KEANAN: Something's definitely not right.

Let's look at the surveillance camera.

CLEMONT: Okay. Maybe we can figure this out.

CLEMONT: Hey, it's them!

PIKACHU?!

ASH: Pikachu! Wooper! Dedenne!

ASH: Give back my Pikachu! STOP!!

NARRATOR: Now that Team Rocket is joining forces with Florges,

what new evil scheme are they plotting?

And what will become of Pikachu, Wooper, and Dedenne?

[Laughter]

NARRATOR: The journey continues!
