11x44 - Losing Its Lustrous!

[bunniefuu]

OFFICER JENNY: This is the Eterna City Police.

We are presently entering

Celestic Town-controlled air space.

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER: Roger, this is

Celestic Town Air Traffic Control.

Weather conditions clear.

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER: so you won't need

any instruments for this landing!

OFFICER JENNY: Right. Our ETA is

zero nine three zero as scheduled. Copy that?

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER: Roger. Loud and clear.

GOLBAT [MANY]: [AGITATED]

STUNKY, GROWLITHE: [GROWLING]

JENNY: Status?

PILOT: We have confirmation of a chopper directly overhead!

But it's not responding to IFF!

GOLBAT [MANY]: [AGITATED]

TOXICROAK: [APPEARING]

JENNY: A Toxicroak?

SATURN: All according to plan. The Adamant Orb is ours!

On a road, far from home,

you don't have to feel alone.

Brave and strong,

together we will be.

It's our destiny!

We will be heroes,

We can change the world if we try!

I go where you go,

Forever friends, you and I!

We will be heroes!

Battle Dimension Pokémon!

[ASH READS ON-SCREEN TEXT]

NARRATOR: Twenty-four short hours

after Dawn's Celestic Town contest victory,

we rejoin our heroes

getting ready to head toward their next destination!

BROCK: All set and ready to move out!

HAPPINY: [EAGER]

DAWN: Then I'll go and get Ash!

PIPLUP, AMBIPOM: [EXCITED]

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

PIKACHU: [PROUD]

ASH: Awesome! You're looking great, Pikachu!

Next time make it stronger!

STARAVIA, BUIZEL, TURTWIG, CHIMCHAR, GLISCOR: [IMPRESSED]

DAWN: Hey, Ash! We're leaving now!

ASH: Dawn, can you wait a little longer?

I feel like I'm onto something.

DAWN: Really? Find a counter for Fantina's sleep moves?

ASH: Yeah!

Your Pokémon Contest yesterday gave me some good ideas!

ASH: The key is to use an att*ck move

that causes damage and also blocks your opponent's att*ck!

DAWN: You mean like Ambipom's Double Hit!

AMBIPOM: [AFFIRMATIVE]

BROCK: But Ash, haven't you used an att*ck skill

for defense sometime in the past?

ASH: Yeah, but the thing is,

Fantina's sleep moves are a whole different ball game!

ASH: Ghost-type Pokémon move and att*ck in a really tricky way

that's hard to get a get a grip on!

DAWN: Yeah, Drifblim and Mismagius are always floating,

and you can't really get a feel for what they're going to do!

ASH: The only thing to do is

att*ck and defend at the same time!

I'll tell you, Ambipom, you showed me a lot yesterday!

AMBIPOM: [PLEASED]

BROCK: But I would think a technique like that

would only work with Ambipom's skills,

since it can be done because Ambipom's got two tails.

ASH: That's what we worked on!

Buizel, let's show them what we've got!

BUIZEL: [EAGER]

DAWN: That's the spin from the Oreburgh Gym!

PIPLUP: [IMPRESSED]

ASH: All right, Aqua Jet!

BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

ASH: By putting an att*ck into a spin,

we can att*ck and defend at the same time!

That way, we should be able to b*at those Ghost-type Pokémon

sleep moves and cause a little damage while we're at it!

DAWN: Then that means that our little spin

has evolved all the way up into an awesomely powerful att*ck!

PIPLUP: [PLEASED]

ASH: So of course I want to really master this move!

So what do you say we get this right?

CHIMCHAR, TURTWIG, PIKACHU, STARAVIA, GLISCOR: [EAGER]

BROCK: Looks like we'll be better off

waiting around here until they're done training.

HAPPINY: [EXCITED]

BROCK: Happiny, you scared me!

RHONDA: We have more information

concerning this morning's theft of the Adamant Orb.

BROCK: Adamant Orb?

RHONDA: Fortunately,

the transport ship made a successful emergency landing,

and it appears nobody was hurt.

ASH: Brock, something happen?

RHONDA: We have just received a report from Officer Jenny,

who was actually on the transport

at the time of the incident,

stating the organization responsible for the theft

calls themselves "Team Galactic."

ASH: Team Galactic?

RHONDA: They are reported to be a secret organization

with operations throughout the Sinnoh region.

RHONDA: They are also believed to have some connection

to the recent Meteorite theft in Veilstone City.

However, at this juncture,

their objectives continue to remain unclear.

RHONDA: At the time of the theft,

the legendary Adamant Orb was in the process

of being transported from the Eterna City Museum

and heading to the Celestic Town Historical Research Center.

RHONDA: The research center is currently conducting

research on the Adamant Orb's counterpart, the Lustrous Orb,

and has tightened its security

in light of the recent criminal incident.

RHONDA: The Adamant Orb was en route

so that both objects could be researched together.

Now, however, it is widely expected that this morning's

incident will seriously impede the progress of the research.

JOY: This is quite a serious situation.

And the Champion is scheduled to return soon.

ASH: Are you talking about Cynthia?

DAWN: Cynthia's coming to Celestic Town?

JOY: Yes! To the Historical Research Center!

JOY: Celestic Town is where she's from,

and Cynthia's grandmother is in charge

of everything that goes on at the research center!

ASH: If she's here, then we should go see her and say hi!

DAWN: Yeah!

BROCK: Nurse Joy, can't you see that you're my Lustrous Orb?

I would do anything in my power to protect you!

BROCK: All right, what's up?

ASH: That's weird.

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

DAWN: What's with Croagunk?

PIPLUP: [CONCERNED]

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

JESSIE: Team Galactic's putting it in high gear!

JAMES: I'm certain that Lustrous Orb

has much to do with all of their "new world" jargon.

MEOWTH: So, dig! If we were to go and lift that Lustrous Orb,

we'd show that flock of fashion freaks

a Team Rockety thing or two!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JESSIE: I'll make them pay for me losing the contest!

Those jerks can afford it!

MEOWTH: Okay, huddle! It's magic time

ASH: Wow, it's gigantic!

PIKACHU: [IMPRESSED]

BROCK: That's the Historical Research Center.

The Celestic Ruins are directly behind it.

DAWN: That's where they discovered the Lustrous Orb!

PIPLUP: [IMPRESSED]

CYNTHIA: Hey, it's Ash!

ASH: Hi there, Cynthia!

DAWN: It's been a while!

BROCK: Wow! Too long to see the Champion!

CYNTHIA: It's good to see all of you!

CAROLINA: Who are the children?

CYNTHIA: I told you about them. Remember?

They're the ones who love to challenge everything!

CAROLINA: Ho ho! The rebellious ways of impetuous youth!

CYNTHIA: Allow me to introduce Grandmother!

CYNTHIA: Her name's Carolina,

and she's in charge of the research center!

ASH: Wow, it's such a pleasure to meet you! A real honor!

DAWN, BROCK: Nice to meet you!

PIKACHU: [GREETING] PIPLUP: [GREETING]

CAROLINA: Thank you. The pleasure is all mine!

I've heard so much about you!

TEAM GALACTIC GRUNT [M]: Saturn, sir,

there's a problem with Phase One of Level E.

SATURN: G Two, this is G One relaying confirmation

of the source of our problem.

It's the group that interfered with the Veilstone Plan.

MARS: Ah, how interesting!

SATURN: Begin Phase One,

but be prepared to switch to backup plan if need be!

MARS: Roger!

CAROLINA: Cynthia was just speaking to me

recently about all your rivals, Ash!

CYNTHIA: What ended up happening with Paul?

ASH: We had a battle since. But, well, you know...

CAROLINA: I would then venture to guess that means

you still can't b*at my granddaughter, either!

CYNTHIA: Grandmother, stop that!

ASH: The thing is, since we last saw you,

we've been training like crazy and made a bunch of new friends!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

CAROLINA: Hey, I like your spunk!

Least they can't take that away from you, can they?

ASH: So! Why don't you and I have a battle, right now?

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

CYNTHIA: Now's not so great!

DAWN: Grandmother doesn't exactly mince words,

does she, Brock?

DAWN, BROCK, PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

CYRUS: See, that's just Carolina's way of saying hi!

CAROLINA: Land, there are a lot of visitors today!

And here's one with a big mouth and blue hair!

TEAM GALACTIC GRUNT [M]: Sir, Phase One contact!

TEAM GALACTIC GRUNT [F]: System invasion complete.

MARS: Phase Two ready and standing by.

SATURN: Copy.

SATURN: Everyone hold your positions!

MARS: Roger that!

CYNTHIA: Oh my! You must be the world-famous mogul

of Sinnoh's industrial complex, Cyrus!

CYRUS: It's indeed an honor

to make the acquaintance of a true Champion!

CYNTHIA: You see, Cyrus

is responsible for building

and library construction throughout Sinnoh!

BROCK, DAWN, ASH, PIPLUP, PIKACHU: [IMPRESSED]

CAROLINA: Mark my words,

Cyrus is quite a big deal around these parts for sure!

CYRUS: Now stop that! You're all very kind,

but at this point I'd rather be

thought of as an amateur history scholar, if you don't mind!

CAROLINA: Did your concern about the Lustrous Orb bring you?

CYRUS: Exactly! When I heard about the Adamant Orb theft,

I felt like I had do something!

BROCK: I know just how you feel!

BROCK: I must protect the Lustrous Orb

and this lovely Champion!

BROCK: Croagunk? That's twice now.

ASH: I wonder what's up with Croagunk?

DAWN: No doubt there's something on its mind.

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

JESSIE: Backup reporting for duty!

JAMES: Requesting assignment, sir!

MEOWTH: Yeah, we was just-

JESSIE: Dope! Zip it!

JAMES: Since when does a security Pokémon talk?

MEOWTH: Oops!

OFFICERS [X ], GROWLITHE: [SHOCKED]

CAROLINA: Since ancient times,

our town has had a deep connection with Dialga,

as well as Palkia.

CAROLINA: And all throughout my extensive research

of the town's history,

I've acquired mountains of material as a result!

DAWN: Wow! What an impressive piece!

DAWN: Hey, wait! That's it! We've seen that before!

PIPLUP: [AGREEMENT]

CAROLINA: You have?

ASH: Yeah, and we've seen that one as well!

PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

CAROLINA: Frankly, I'm speechless!

CYNTHIA: Tell me where you saw them!

DAWN: At Lake Verity!

PIPLUP: [AGREEMENT]

DAWN: It was kind of hard to make out

but I'm certain that's what it was!

ASH: We saw something over at Lake Valor!

PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

ASH, CYRUS: It was hazy, just like Dawn said,

but I'm telling you,

I know I saw something on the lake!

CYNTHIA: I'm at a loss for words!

There isn't a single example I can think of

where people actually got a glimpse of Lake Guardians!

ASH: So we saw Lake Guardians?

CYNTHIA: Yes!

CYNTHIA: Dawn, the Lake Guardian you saw

was most certainly the Being of Emotion, Mesprit!

And Ash, you must've seen the Being of Willpower, Azelf!

It's rumored that there is one more Lake Guardian:

the Being of Knowledge, Uxie,

who lives in Lake Acuity near Snowpoint City!

BROCK: Hey, that's the same legend we heard

about from Zoey and May!

CYNTHIA: It's been said for countless generations

that all three of those Lake Guardians

live in Sinnoh region lakes

but they've only existed in legend until now!

CAROLINA: One of the legends states that

only the spirits of the Lake Guardians

emerge from their lakes,

so that they're able to watch over and protect humankind.

There's a distinct possibility that

what you saw were those same spirits!

ASH, DAWN: Spirits?

BROCK: Hold on! Look there!

What's the meaning of that thing in the middle?

CYNTHIA: Our research says it's

either the Adamant Orb or the Lustrous Orb!

CYRUS: Professor?

CYRUS: If they've seen Azelf and Mesprit,

perhaps you should show them the Lustrous Orb!

CYRUS: Their reaction may be important to your research!

CAROLINA: An interesting idea! Come with me!

ASH, DAWN, BROCK: Right!

TEAM GALACTIC GRUNT [F]: Placement is now complete!

MARS: G Two, roger that.

JAMES: Attention! Your shift is complete.

Dismissed!

GUARD B: Understood, sir!

JESSIE: Through these doors the Lustrous Orb lies.

JAMES: Though the question remains,

how do we get to that lying orb?

MEOWTH: We wait until the coast is clear, then bam!

OFFICER JENNY: I have bad news.

OFFICER JENNY: Due to our heightened security,

I'm afraid I can't let you stay very long.

CAROLINA: Yes, yes, of course we know!

JAMES, JESSIE: The Twerps and then some!

OFFICER JENNY: Anything unusual to report?

JAMES: No, Officer, status quo!

OFFICER JENNY: I'll go ahead and open the door then,

but you officers please keep a sharp eye out!

JAMES, JESSIE: Yes ma'am!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [AMAZED]

DAWN: Amazing how it has a strange glow.

CYRUS: Its beauty is timeless!

JESSIE: Wow, Spike Hair's right!

JAMES: A treasure of the first magnitude!

MEOWTH: Soon we're going to have a thrilled Boss-itude!

CYRUS: Tell us what you feel. Anything come to mind?

ASH: Nope. Don't feel a thing!

DAWN: Me neither.

CYRUS: Impossible! You're not looking at it carefully enough!

CAROLINA: Now, now, Cyrus, no reason to be upset

CAROLINA: Remember, they're only both

looking at it for the first time.

CYRUS: Uh, right!

CYRUS: Sorry.

But when I'm standing in front of this treasure,

it's so hard to try and be calm!

You see, the Lustrous Orb is

supposed to be directly connected to the dawn of time.

ASH: You study all that, don't you?

CAROLINA: Cyrus has recently taken up the investigation

of many myths that relate to the beginnings

of time and our world!

BROCK: Cynthia, aren't you doing that as well?

CYNTHIA: Yes. All to find

where our world of people and Pokémon began!

CYRUS: Yes!

CYRUS: You see, the Sinnoh region is said

to have originated with Mount Coronet.

CYRUS: Just try imagining the beginning of the world.

A time of no w*r.

CYRUS: A brand-new paradise of peace!

CAROLINA: There you go again, Cyrus!

Our Cyrus is a real peacenik, through and through!

CYRUS: Of course, the wars I'm talking about

are different from Pokémon battles!

ALL: [SURPRISED]

CYRUS: As Pokémon Trainers,

you both owe it to yourselves to know the difference

between battles and wars!

You should never ever forget that!

Especially since you have actually met

two of the Lake Guardians: Mesprit and Azelf!

CYRUS: Now give thanks

CYRUS: for miracles!

ASH: Miracles?

DAWN: I don't get why they went and chose us.

CYRUS: If you don't mind,

I'd like to hear more about what happened at those lakes.

GOLBAT [MANY]: [AGITATED]

MARS: Begin Phase Two!

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, JENNY, CYNTHIA, CAROLINA: [SCARED]

GOLBAT [MANY]: [AGITATED]

MARS: Phase Two complete! Moving now!

ANNOUNCER: There has been an expl*si*n at the ruins!

The area is overrun with Golbat!

OFFICER JENNY: Golbat?

CAROLINA: expl*si*n at the ruins?

ASH: Team Galactic!

PIKACHU: [WORRIED]

OFFICER JENNY: Squads Three and Five, blockade the ruins now!

Squad Four, make sure you cover area B at once.

And Squad Six, you cover area C, and get on it immediately.

Now go!

ALL: [SURPRISED]

ASH: Carolina, what happened?

CAROLINA: Now that's odd.

The doors don't seem to want to close.

OFFICER JENNY: What did you say?

ANNOUNCER: The research facility's security system

has been taken over! We've completely lost control!

OFFICER JENNY: And that means

we won't be able to protect the Lustrous Orb!

CYNTHIA: Then we have to move it somewhere else, now!

ASH: We'll all help protect the orb!

OFFICER JENNY: We're lucky that you all are here to help us,

just like we were lucky in Veilstone City!

So, are you ready to go?

ASH, DAWN, BROCK: Yes ma'am!

OFFICER JENNY: And what about the two of you?

JESSIE, JAMES: Yes ma'am!

GUARD A: Team Galactic incoming at four o'clock!

GROWLITHE: [GROWLING]

SATURN: Proceed in through areas B and D,

since they're not as secure. Commence Phase Three!

GUARD A: What's going on?

TOXICROAK: [THREATENING]

CROAGUNK: [APPEARING]

BROCK: Croagunk, what are you doing out of your Poké Ball?

BROCK: You guys go on ahead!

OFFICER JENNY: All right! Let's go!

JESSIE, JAMES, OFFICER JENNY, ASH, DAWN, CYNTHIA: [EXERTION]

CROAGUNK: [INTENT]

JESSIE, JAMES, OFFICER JENNY, ASH, DAWN, CYNTHIA: [EXERTION]

GOLBAT [MANY], BRONZOR: [CONFIDENT]

ASH: Team Galactic!

SATURN: How about handing over that Lustrous Orb now?

CYNTHIA: I get it!

Destroying the ruins was nothing but a diversionary tactic

to weaken our defenses!

SATURN: Perhaps you should concern yourself

with what's happening now!

SATURN: The truth is, Bronzor's put all of your security forces

outside this facility to sleep,

and right about now Toxicroak should be taking good care

of everyone on the inside.

CROAGUNK, TOXICROAK: [CHALLENGING]

BROCK: Toxicroak! That's it!

BROCK: Croagunk was sensing Toxicroak the whole time!

SATURN: You are now witnessing what is but a tiny part

of Team Galactic's brilliant plan!

ASH: I don't think so!

We're not giving you the Lustrous Orb!

DAWN: Never!

PIKACHU: [DEFIANT] PIPLUP: [DEFIANT]

CAROLINA: Wow! Such brave children and Pokémon!

SATURN: All right then, Bronzor, Hypnosis!

BRONZOR: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Pikachu, here it comes!

PIKACHU: [INTENT]

DAWN: Heads up, Piplup! PIPLUP: [INTENT]

CYNTHIA: Now, Garchomp, battle dance!

GARCHOMP: [APPEARING]

BRONZOR: [HYPNOSIS MOVE]

CYNTHIA: Brick Break, go!

GARCHOMP: [BRICK BREAK MOVE]

BRONZOR, : [PAINED]

SATURN: Return!

BRONZOR: [DEJECTED]

GARCHOMP: [AGGRESSIVE]

ASH: Check it out! It stopped the Hypnosis!

SATURN: Well done!

You've definitely earned the title of Champion.

CYNTHIA: If you don't mind, Officer Jenny,

we'll take care of this! You need to look after the orb!

OFFICER JENNY: All right, then! You keep your guard up!

CYNTHIA: Cyrus and Grandmother, go with her!

-CYRUS: Right! -CAROLINA: Fine with me!

CYRUS: I hope you'll forgive me,

Professor, as this came from my idea.

CAROLINA: My granddaughter will take care of everything,

so don't worry!

OFFICER JENNY: Come with me!

JESSIE, JAMES: Ma'am!

GOLBAT [MANY]: [AGITATED]

MARS: Phase Four is now complete! Reunion!

OFFICER JENNY: We're surrounded!

GOLBAT [MANY]: [AGITATED]

ASH: Should have known there were more of them.

JESSIE: Trapped! Along with the Twerps!

MEOWTH: I guess we're Team Toast!

JAMES: Ye of little faith. We'll wiggle out of this!

CROAGUNK: [SCARED]

ASH, DAWN, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

ASH: Croagunk!

TOXICROAK: [AGGRESSIVE]

CROAGUNK: [PAINED]

BROCK: No, Croagunk!

CROAGUNK: [STUNNED]

TOXICROAK: [SATISFIED]

SATURN: To be totally honest,

we really have no desire for excessive v*olence.

Just give us the Lustrous Orb, and we'll leave!

CYNTHIA: Not on your life!

We know you've got something up your sleeve.

You're not getting any of Sinnoh's treasures!

NARRATOR: With overwhelming force on their side,

Team Galactic is closing in on the Lustrous Orb!

But will our heroes be able to stop their evil plans?

NARRATOR: Stay tuned!
