01x14 - Taking Two for the Team! (Hyper Class! Vs. Elite Four Dracaena!!)

[bunniefuu]

[narrator]
The Pokémon World Coronation Series!

A series of battles
to determine the ultimate Trainer.

Ash wants to challenge
the current Monarch,

Galar Champion Leon!

That's why he's in this tournament.

[epic music]

Ash's opponent this time,
ranked twelfth in the Ultra Class,

is Kalos Elite Four member Drasna.

So Ash, with the help of his old friend
and traveling companion Clemont,

trained Sirfetch'd and Dracovish,

and successfully taught each of them
a powerful new move!

And now...

[crowd cheering]

[serene music]

[grunts]

Ah, Sir Ash! It's been a while.

-[Ash] Hi, Wikstrom!
-Pika!

-Sirfetch'd!
-Oh! It's a Sirfetch'd!

I assume your Farfetch'd evolved, right?

Right!

Now that's very admirable, Sirfetch'd!

Never forget your knight's heart, promise?

Sirfetch'd!

[Wikstrom]
All right, now for this Pokémon...

-Oh, that's a...
-[Altaria] Altaria!

[giggles]

[Ash gasps]
Drasna!

[Pikachu] Pika?

[chittering]

[squeals]
Pikachu.

My, my, what a precious Pikachu!
You're Dracovish.

Well, hello to you!

How wonderful!
I have heard rumors about you.

Draco...

Madam Drasna has truly
been looking forward

to offering you her greetings.

Nice to meet you!

Now, Altaria, please say hello, too.

Altaria!

Taria! Taria! Altaria!

Simply beautiful!

Altaria is my number one Pokémon partner.

[Drasna] We both wish you
and yours the very best!

Gee, thanks! Right backatcha!

Let's have a great match!

I've done quite a bit of research
on your battle history.

[Drasna] However...

Your series of easy wins is over

-as of this day.
-[groans]

[gasps]
Pi, pi... Pika?

And so, I bid you a good day!

[Altaria chitters]

[chuckles awkwardly]

[sighs]
That was weird...

They have immense fighting spirit!

[tense music]

What did you think of them, Altaria?

[Altaria giggles]
Altaria!

Today's battle looks to be most enjoyable.

[chuckles]

[theme music]

-[Goh] "Taking Two..."
-[Ash] "For The Team!"

[announcer] Welcome to the Pokémon
World Coronation Series Ultra Class!

Like all competitors,

these two are vying for the title
of the world's ultimate Trainer!

Ranked twelfth in the Ultra Class,
and a member of the Elite Four,

it's Drasna!

[crowd cheering]

She looks like a nice person.

Grookey-key!

Not a chance!

She fools everyone
with that smile of hers.

And you can trust what my brother says.

He didn't stand a chance against her!
[giggles]

Denne!

You could've stopped before the last part.

[Goh chuckles awkwardly]

[announcer] Her opponent ranks 15th
in the Ultra Class!

From the Kanto region, it's Ash!

-Hi there!
-Pika!

-You can do it!
-Grookey-groo!

-Give it your best!
-Denne!

[announcer] Competitors are allowed to use
two Pokémon each!

[Drone Rotom whirring]

Will both challengers
please bring out your Pokémon?

Three...

Two...

One... Go!

-Now, Sirfetch'd, I choose you!
-Noivern, if you please!

Fetch'd!

Noivern!

Noivern, huh?

Pika.

[Rotom Phone]
Noivern. The Sound Wave Pokémon.

A Flying and Dragon type.

Noivern can fly in the dark,
attacking with ultrasonic waves

strong enough to crush stone.

It uses its sharp fangs to defeat foes.

Can Sirfetch'd do this?

[Clemont] A Fighting type like Sirfetch'd
is at a disadvantage

against a Flying type like Noivern.

Don't take your eyes off of Noivern
for a second, Sirfetch'd!

Sirfetch'd!

And now... Battle begin!

Use Super Fang!

[growls]

Use Brutal Swing!

[Sirfetch'd] Sir... fetch'd!

[Noivern groans]

-[Sirfetch'd] Fetch'd!
-Dear!

[chuckles]

[announcer]
Stopping the bite with its shield,

Sirfetch'd lands Brutal Swing!

It even surprised Drasna!

My, that was skillful.

-Wow, so cool!
-[Dedenne exclaims]

-[Grookey chittering]
-Sirfetch'd is something else!

Completely focused on its opponent.

[crowd applauding]

Sirfetch'd!

-Pika!
-That was so awesome, Sirfetch'd!

Let's not underestimate our opponents.

Noivern, use Boomburst!

[grumbles]

-[growls]
-Sirfetch'd! Sir...

-[Ash grunting]
-[Pikachu] Pika!

-[Noivern screeching]
-[crowd whimpering]

-[shrieks]
-My ears!

[tense music]

Sir... fetch'd.

Sir!

-[both gasp]
-[Sirfetch'd] Fetch'd.

[groans]

[all exclaim in surprise]

Pity.

Now you can't defend.

[crowd murmuring]

[Ash] Sirfetch'd! Pick up your shield!

[Sirfetch'd] Sir...

-Dragon Pulse!
-[grumbles]

[Noivern grunts]

[screeches]

[screams]

[Sirfetch'd groans]

Oh, no, Sirfetch'd!

Boomburst, please!

[roars]

[grunting]
Sir... fetch'd!

[rumbling]

[gasps, screeches]

[grunting]

[rumbling continues]

Pika!

[gasps]
Quick, now's your chance, Sirfetch'd!

[Ash] Grab your leek and shield!

[Sirfetch'd] Sir...

[grunting]
Fetch'd!

Huh?

Sir... fetch'd!

Sir... fetch'd!

Sir... fetch'd!

Alright, way to go, Sirfetch'd!

Sirfetch'd!

[announcer] What an indomitable spirit!

-Sirfetch'd retrieved its leek and shield!
-[grunts]

Sir...

[chuckles]
Now, use Dragon Pulse!

-[screaming]
-All right, now Sirfetch'd...

Meteor as*ault!

Sir... fetch'd!

[Noivern gasps]

[screams]

Noivern!

Noivern!

[Noivern grunts]

-[Sirfetch'd] Sirfetch'd!
-[both gasp]

[announcer] Look at that!

Those huge wings took that Meteor as*ault
and blocked it!

Excellent defense!

[screeching]

[Sirfetch'd shouts]
Fetch'd!

[Sirfetch'd groaning]

[shrieks]

[Sirfetch'd groaning]

[suspenseful music]

[grunting]
Sir... fetch'd...

Sir... fetch'd.

[Drasna] My, my. What a tough opponent.

-Sir...
-[Ash] Huh?

Don't overdo it, Sirfetch'd. Return!

Now, rest up.

You'll get another chance.

Pika...

-[Bonnie sighs]
-Returning was the correct choice.

After that Meteor as*ault,

Sirfetch'd will definitely
have trouble moving.

I couldn't agree more. That means next up...

My heart is racing. What now?

[Dedenne groans]

[tense music]

[Pikachu chitters]

You're gonna make up for that last hit.

Are you ready, Dracovish?

Now, let's go!

Dracovish!

[crowd cheering]

[announcer]
Ash's second Pokémon is Dracovish!

It's quite rare and was only recently
discovered in the Galar region!

[Dracovish humming]

Now there you are, Dracovish.
I've wanted to battle against you!

[Drasna] Use Super Fang!

[grumbles]

[Ash] All right, use Ice Fang!

[inhaling, screaming]

[Noivern groans]

-[Dracovish shrieks]
-[grumbling]

[grunting]

-[Ash] Are you all right, Dracovish?
-Draco...

-That looks bad!
-Super Fang is a powerful attack

that can cut
its opponent's energy by half.

Over there! Look at Noivern!

[announcer]
Both Pokémon have taken serious damage!

The hit on Noivern was super effective!

[Drasna] Alright, Noivern, return!

[chuckles]
Now it's your turn.

Altaria!

[squealing]

There it is! Altaria's up!

[announcer]
Drasna's second Pokémon is Altaria!

[Rotom Phone]
Altaria. The Humming Pokémon.

A Dragon and Flying type.

Altaria generally
has a gentle personality,

but when angered,

it uses its shrill voice
to intimidate foes before attacking.

[Altaria chirping]

[chirping continues]

Draco?

[chirping]

[exclaims]
Draco...

[Altaria chirping]

[Dracovish exclaiming]

-Dracovish, wait!
-Pika!

Well, well. My, my...

Why did Dracovish run after it anyway?

Back-and-forth movement!

Like what happened
with Sirfetch'd and its leek!

I guess Dracovish
can't resist things that wiggle.

[announcer] And Dracovish launches
into a burst of speed!

If that's the case,
then close in and use Ice Fang!

[screaming]
Draco!

Cotton Guard!

[Altaria squealing]

[Dracovish shrieks]

-[groaning]
-Pika?

[announcer] Altaria blocked Ice Fang
and increased its defense!

Aren't those feathers wonderful?

They're protection for Altaria
from high-damage hits.

[Ash grunts]

When it comes to using their wings
defensively, they're just too good!

Oh, I get it,
so that's what happened to you!

We really don't need to go into that.

[chuckles]
Feast your eyes on this.

A Key Stone!

The power of dragons!

Time to awaken!

[chirps]

Mega Evolve!

[Altaria squealing]

[epic music]

[squeals]
Altaria!

[gasps]
Dracovish.

[announcer] It's Mega Evolution!

Mega Altaria!

Pika?

Ah, so pretty!

So Mega Evolution is up next!

You're enjoying yourself, Lady Drasna.

Altaria!

[chittering excitedly]
Dracovish! Dracovish!

Now, here we go!

Use Sky Attack!

[grunting]

All right!

Fishious Rend!

Draco!

[screaming]

[grunts]
Use Ice Fang!

-[Dracovish grunting]
-[Mega Altaria squealing]

[expl*si*n]

[Dracovish shrieks]

[announcer] And Altaria scores
a direct hit with Sky Attack!

That Mega Evolution is intense.

Attacks and speed are on another level!

-[Altaria] Altaria!
-Now use Play Rough!

[screams]
Al... taria!

-[Altaria chittering]
-[Dracovish yelping]

-[Ash gasps]
-[Pikachu] Pika!

-[Altaria continues chittering]
-[Dracovish mumbling]

[electricity crackling]

[shrieks, groans]

Oh, no, Dracovish, are you okay?

Dracovish.
[sighs]

Altaria may be really fluffy,
but it's still able to attack and defend!

[ominous music]

[Ash] Those feathers...

[gasps]
Yeah, that's it!

-Pika?
-Yeah!

Bonnie, you realized it, too?

It brings back memories.

See, Ash always came up with things
we would never have dreamed of!

Dracovish! Water g*n!

[grunting]

Use Sky Attack one more time!

[squeals]

[squealing]

[announcer] Look! Mega Altaria
is using its wings to block!

-Perfect!
-[gasps]

[all exclaim]

[announcer] Mega Altaria's pride and joy,
its cottony feathers,

are now drenched in water from Water g*n!

[exhales]
All right, now you've done it.

[Ash] Wrap it up! Use Dragon Rush!

Draco... vish!

Don't do that, Ash! No!

-[gasps]
-[chuckles]

[Dracovish] Draco!

[Dracovish groans, yelps]

[groaning]

-Pika?
-Didn't do a thing!

[announcer]
Mega Altaria took no damage at all!

How was that possible?

When Altaria Mega Evolves,
it changes from a Dragon and Flying type...

And into a Dragon and Fairy type!

Everything's going exactly
as I planned in the first place.

[growls]

Dragon type attacks
don't affect Fairy type Pokémon!

Breaking Swipe! Let's go!

Altaria!

[squealing]

Dracovish, Ice Fang!

[inhales, grunts]

-[expl*si*n]
-[Dracovish groans]

[Dracovish shrieks]

Altaria.

[Dracovish whimpers]

[sighs]

All right, Dracovish, return, now!

'Kay, Sirfetch'd! It's up to you!

Fetch'd!

-[Ash gasps]
-[Dracovish] Draco!

-[Drasna] Oh, my...
-[Altaria gibbers]

[all gasp]

[announcer]
What's this? Dracovish came back out?

[Ash] What's up, Dracovish?

[Dracovish] Draco! Draco! Draco!

-[Sirfetch'd] Sir!
-[Ash] I see.

You wanna cheer for Sirfetch'd, don't you?

Dracovish!

[announcer] Ash is allowing Dracovish
to watch the battle!

Now that's touching.

It's just so sweet!

So, in return, let's use Breaking Swipe!

[squeals]

-[Mega Altaria squealing]
-Meteor as*ault!

[Sirfetch'd screaming]

[expl*si*n]

[grunts]

[suspenseful music]

[Sirfetch'd sighs]
Sirfetch'd.

[thuds]

[groaning]

[Drone Rotom] Altaria is unable to battle!

How can this be?

-Yay, Sirfetch'd!
-Dedenne!

-[Grookey exclaims]
-Yes! That was amazing, Sirfetch'd!

It happened because Dracovish had
already reduced Mega Altaria's health!

But this is no time to relax!

[Drasna] You were wonderful, Altaria.

[crowd applauding]

You truly gave it everything
you had in you to give!

-[Sirfetch'd] Sirfetch'd!
-Draco! Dracovish!

[weakly]
Sirfetch'd.

[groaning]

-[both gasp]
-[Drone Rotom whirring]

-Sirfetch'd is unable to battle!
-[groaning]

-Sirfetch'd, no!
-Pika!

[Dracovish crying]
Draco... Draco!

[announcer] What a twist! Sirfetch'd
has used up all its strength as well!

The spirit of one who stands
up to an opponent

with the last of its strength and wins!

A true knight!

Sirfetch'd, return, now!

You did great!

-[all gasp]
-[Pikachu] Pika?

-Sirfetch'd, too?
-It's cheering Dracovish on?

That's an example of the deep friendship
between those two Pokémon!

[Sirfetch'd grunting]
Sir... fetch'd.

-[gasps]
-Sirfetch'd!

-[groans]
-[all gasp]

Wow! You wanna cheer on
Dracovish too, right?

-Sirfetch'd.
-Draco!

Awesome! Dracovish, you're up!

Draco!

[both chittering excitedly]

So, if that's the case...

Noivern, go!

[grumbles]

Only a strong Trainer
could put up this kind of battle.

But that's as far as you go!

That's as far as you go!

Come on, Dracovish!

[yells]

Use Dragon Pulse!

-[Noivern grunting]
-Use Dragon Rush!

[screams]

[growls]

[expl*si*n]

[Dracovish shrieks, groans]

[groaning]
Dracovish...

Dracovish, no!

[all exclaiming nervously]

[giggles]
Use Boomburst!

[Noivern growls]

[announcer]
And it's Drasna with a follow-up attack!

-[Dracovish whimpering]
-Sirfetch'd!

[gasps]

[Ash] That's right, get up!

[Sirfetch'd] Sirfetch'd!

[Dracovish grunting]

All right, Dracovish, ready?
Let's wrap this up!

[Dracovish growls]

[Drasna] Now here it comes.
Get ready, Noivern!

Dragon Rush, let's go!

[chittering angrily]

-Use Dragon Pulse!
-[Noivern growling]

[energy crackling]

[expl*si*n]

[grunting]

[grunts, pants]

-[Dracovish grunting]
-Pika?

[all gasp]

[both gasp]

[Drone Rotom] Noivern is unable to battle!

Dracovish is the winner,
which means the victory goes to Ash!

[announcer] So Ash is the winner!

In a stunning move,
Ash defeats Drasna of the Elite Four!

-[cheering]
-[crowd applauds]

[Pikachu] Pika!

-[Ash] Yay! Ow, ow, ow!
-[Pikachu] Pika-pika!

Sirfetch'd!

Right, Sirfetch'd? We did it this time!

[giggling]
Draco... Dracovish!

Oh, dear me. It seems that we've lost.

Well, that's too bad.
But, Noivern, you were wonderful!

Noivern.

As a result of today's battle,
there has been a change

in the World Coronation Series rankings
effective immediately!

[announcer] Ash has risen to ninth place
in the Ultra Class!

Ninth place? Cool!

[exclaims]
Pikachu!

-All right!
-He's finally at ninth!

-Yay! That's so great, Ash!
-[Dedenne exclaims]

-Great! Congratulations!
-[Grookey chitters]

[Drasna] Congratulations!

Your Ultra Class ranking
has risen to ninth.

Thank you so much!

But it won't be quite so easy
to climb higher in the rankings.

Yeah. But I'll do my best!

Pikachu!

[Drasna] Sirfetch'd and Dracovish
are simply charming.

I know that I'll cheer for you!

-Now don't neglect your training!
-[Ash] Right, Wikstrom!

Hm...

-What's wrong, Bonnie?
-Mm?

I have made a decision!

[Bonnie] Drasna, you're a keeper!

Please take care of my brother!

[all gasp]

Pika-Pikachu!

I mean, Drasna?
You're so strong and in control

that I don't think there's anybody else
for my brother, see?

Oh, my stars! Whatever shall I do?

[gasps]
Wait, but why?

I told you to stop doing this
a million times!

[narrator] And so, Ash has defeated Drasna
of the Kalos Elite Four

and risen even higher in the rankings.

But the Masters Eight
is just around the corner,

as the journey continues!
