01x03 - For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!

[bunniefuu]

Ah, it's so pretty!

If you wear it, you may someday find
yourself on an adventure, my dear.

But...aren't adventures scary?

Only the first step is scary.

But then you'll see sights
you've never seen before

and you'll forget all about
being scared.

With a Pokemon by your side,
you'll be fine.

Sprigatito! Oh, no!

SPRIGATITO CRIES

Time to retreat.

ALL: Sir!

Sprigatito!

Sprigatitooo!

I'm going to save my friend.

# When you lead with your heart

# It's so scary at the start

# But that's the hardest part

# And trust me, it gets better

# I finally know
where I belong

# This is the way
the weak grow strong

# I've got a feeling

# With you, I'm becoming me

# I'm becoming me

# I'm becoming me! #

WINGULL! WINGULL!

Looks like we lost the flag.

Huh?

Good morning.

Did you sleep OK?

I guess probably not.

Um, well, thank you for the bed
and drying my uniform.

Sure.
Don't even sweat it one bit.

Oh, good. You're awake.

Breakfast is ready.

Murdock's cooking is first class.

You're in for a treat.

Mm, smells great.

Murdock, is that my favourite soup?

You know it, Mollie.

Sorry, I need to...

Go and get Sprigatito back,
am I right?

Friede's out there now trying
to track down the explorers.

That's just step one.

I know you're worried,
but these things take time.

INTERNALLY: I guess these people
really aren't bad at all.

Friede's an ace.

I promise he'll find him.

And right on cue.

Hey, you're awake.

Sprigatito?

Mm.

Not yet.

Oh, I see.

And our new friends?

The Explorers landed in the
harbour just ahead of us,

and they lost their trail in town.

And what are we waiting for?

You've got to take me
there right now.

It's OK, I can look
for Sprigatito myself.

No need for you to go it alone.

Just give me a little time.

We'll find Sprigatito together.

FUE-FUE!

You wouldn't be able to do
much by yourself anyway.

The Explorers mean business.

Without a Pokemon,
there's no way to fight them.

It's OK, Liko.

You can trust Friede.

And since your mother asked us
to basically be your bodyguards,

we can't just let you go running
into a risky situation, you know?

Huh? My mom...did what?

What?

Ha! I could have sworn I told you.

You keep doing this!

Heh...let's talk about this later.

It's always, "Talk later."

How about some breakfast?
I'm starving.

MURDOCK:
Finally, I'll set up and let's eat.

FUE!

All right, little buddy,
come on out!

RUFF!

Yeah, give me some love.

Ha-ha-ha!

POKEDEX: Rockruff, the Puppy Pokemon.

A rock type.

It has an extremely
powerful sense of smell.

You remember Sprigatito's scent?

So then, Murdock, Rockruff
and I will track the Explorers.

And I'll get right
on those engine repairs.

And would you be cool if I asked you

to help me out with
a few errands, Liko?

I've got to swing by the
Pokemon Center

and pick up some potions.

Of course I'll help.

Thank you, for looking
for Sprigatito.

Of course. We'll find some clues.

You can count on it.

OK, everyone.

There's the Pokemon Center.

I called the order in
ahead of time, OK?

So give them this,
and it's cool. Have fun.

Wait, aren't you coming with me?

SHE CHUCKLES

Welcome to the Pokemon Center.

Um...

I'm here to pick up this order.

Great.

Just have a seat and I'll go
and get everything ready for you.

Hmm?

Oh!

KARP? KARP-KARP!

KARP...

Hey, hey, hey, all you
epic Pokemon trainers!

Nidothing here,
back with a brand-new video

about all things Pokemon Center.

If you've got an injured
Pokemon, the Pokemon Center

is the place to go.

There's a really nice lady there

with a team of healing Pokemon
helpers ready to fix you up.

Help me!

What's the matter?

It's my Vulpix, please save it.

I can help.
Just try not to worry.

I'm sorry,
but this is an urgent case.

Oh, it's fine. Wait here.

We'll be back with Vulpix soon.

You OK?

That was the first
Pokemon that I caught,

but I was too slow
calling out moves, and it got hurt,

all because of me.

INTERNALLY:
Guess I'm not the only one.

What do I do?

What if Sprigatito is injured
somewhere right now?

Or if someone's being mean to it?

DELIGHTED MEOW

Oh, finished already?

Sorry, but there's no
more left, you ate it all.

Oh, wittle baby!

Oh, you are the cutest!

I'll go get you some more
Pokemon food, all right, my baby?

Amethio, sir. Please forgive me.

This is your wittle cutie.

No, I mean, this
is your hostage, sir.

I have no intention to use
it as a bargaining chip.

Huh? But then...

I'll handle things my own way.

The only thing that matters at this
point is getting that pendant.

We won't fail this time.

And when that's done...

BZZ! BZZ! BZZ!

Amethio.

OVER PHONE: Sir, I've discovered
the location of their airship.

So they are here.

What about Friede and the target?

They split off in
different directions.

Keep an eye on that ship.

Yes, sir.

So, what are you planning to do,
Rising Vault Tacklers?

Thanks for the help, Elekid.

ELE!

OK, Metagross, you're up.

META!

Yeah, there we go!

Couldn't have done
it without you guys.

HEALING CHIMES RING

VULPIX!

It's feeling much better.

Vulpix!

Glad it's better.

Yeah, thank you.

Thank you for your patience!

Your order is ready to go.

CHANSEY!

Thanks, Chansey.
I'm glad you were there.

CHANSEY!

Good, you got everything.

I really went all out.

Guess I must be going
soft or something.

RUFF, RUFF, RUFF!

What's your problem, buster?

That's Rockruff!

Sorry, but could you
please hold these?

Hey, wait a sec! I'm sorry!

No, this is for my precious
Sprigatito.

Rockruff, did you find it?

PI!

Hey, everyone, I'm here!

Ah! OK, this is not good.

Liko! Good job, little bud.

He picked up Sprigatito's
scent on that woman!

Hold it!

Where's Sprigatito?!

Are you OK?

I got this.

You stay on her.

Liko, wait!

Amethio, sir, I've discovered
both Friede and the target,

and they've discovered me.

Perfect. Huh?

Lead them directly here.

SHE PANTS

Roger that.

There, that ought to do it.

BZZ! BZZ! BZZ!

Yes, sir.
Target has been located.

Come back. On my way.

Hey, Liko, you should head
back to the ship.

This is going to be a battle.

Hang on, Sprigatito.
I'm coming for you.

MEOW?

MEOW?

This is it.

Hang on!

Listen, going in there is risky.

I know that.

Please, Sprigatito is my best friend.

It's probably feeling very
scared and alone in there.

I can't just do nothing.

Sprigatito trusts me because I'm...

That's it! I'm Sprigatito's trainer!

OK, right, fine.

Believe me, I get it.

Uh...

All right, so, how about we do this?

What do you think? You up for it?

Yeah.

But listen, the minute
you smell trouble, you run.

Understood.

RUFF, RUFF!

OK. Let's get this rescue rolling!

Amethio, hello again.

So, do you have the
pendant with you?

If I give you this,
will you let Sprigatito go?

Or, hey, we could
do this another way.

It's just an idea,

but how about we settle
this with a Pokemon battle?

After all, we didn't
finish the last two.

Unless, of course,
you're afraid of losing,

which, you know, I get that.

PIKA-PIKA!

That's nonsense.

If I win,
then you let Sprigatito go.

And if I win, then you will hand
over the pendant.

OK, Liko. Things are
about to get intense here.

Maybe stand back.

Right.

Ready to do this, Cap?

PIKACHU!

Come out, Ceruledge!

Go, Cap, Double Team!

PI, PIKA!

Use Night Slash.

LEDGE!

Now, Cap, use Thunder Punch!

PIKACHUUU!

I won't fall for that again.

Use Phantom Force!

PIKA!

Cap, behind you!

LEDGE!
PIKA!

Easy, there, Cap. Are you OK?

PIKA-PIKA!

I'm impressed.

Guess there's more
to you than hot air.

HE SCOFFS

RUFF! RUFF!

KNOCKING

Sprigatito, are you in there?

MEOW!

MEOW!

Sprigatito!

I'll...get this open!

Hang on!

REPEATED THUMPING

Use Thunder Punch!
PIKA!

PIKACHUUU!

CE...RUL!

So, tell me something.

If we handed over the pendant
and asked you to leave us all alone,

what would you do?

The pendant by itself
is meaningless.

You know what?
That's what I thought you'd say.

Ceruledge, now, use Psycho Cut!

MEOW!

Sprigatito, are you all right?

MEOW...MEOW!

Sprigatito...

Thank goodness.

RUFF, RUFF, RUFF!

OK, let's get out of here.

Thought you could just walk out of
here with my Sprigatito, did ya?

That's not very nice, you know.

Wittle Sprigatito, come to me!
Come on!

I've got some yummy snacks
just for you!

MEOW?

MM!
SHE SHRIEKS IN ANGUISH

After we bonded?
And had so much fun together?

And what about all the hugs
we were going to share?

All the fun?

How could you go and play
with my heart like that?!

It's so mean!

Skarmory!

SKAR!

A weak little grass-type like you
could never defeat Skarmory,

but we might go
easy on you if you're nice.

Listen, you remember what happened
back at school, don't you?

Remember, these guys came after us.

We were really scared.

MEOW!

This time it's different.

Are you ready?

Let's show them what we're made of!

MEOW!

Sprigatito, use Leafage!

GA...TITO!

Cute try, but Leafage doesn't hurt
Skarmory, doesn't even tickle it!

Argh!

Even so, that's a lot of...

They're gone.

PI...

CERU!

It seems our battle is over.

Don't be so sure.

What's that?

I see, a distraction
so that she could get away.

So was that your plan all
along, Friede?

PIKA!

Let's just say I gave the kid
a little advice.

AMETHIO GASPS

Let's do this again.

That was...an adventure.

MEOW!

Sprigatito, what do you think
of the others on this ship?

I'm feeling like it's OK
to trust them all.

Cos this thing?
They don't care about it.

They only seem to care about us.

I believe they're really
good people.

You know what?

While we were searching for you,

I realised something.

There's no denying it,

I'm a Pokemon trainer now.

MEOW?

The only scary part was
the first step.

But like Grandma said, as long
as I have a Pokemon by my side,

I'll be just fine.

I get it now.

I've tried taking so many
first steps.

But together, we're both
moving forward.

I see it now,

something I never thought possible.

I knew it!

Your nose is the best!

Ha-ha-ha! Yeah, Rockruff's the MVP.

Oh, hey, Liko.

MEOW!
FUECOCO!

It's weird to say this, so I'm sorry,

but I think, I know,
you're good people, and I trust you.

Oh, really? So, did you think
we were the bad guys?

I mean, you never explained anything!

You took me away, and...

Well, and to be totally honest, you
all look kind of dangerous, and so...

I don't know what I'm caught up in.

Like, what's with the pendant?

And why are these
Explorers people after me?

But I want to know.

That's why...I'm hoping I can stay
with you a little bit longer.

Hmm. What do you think, Cap?
Can she stay?

PIKACHU!

All right, if that's what you want.

PIKA!

OK, then. Welcome to the team.

Really? Are you sure?

Well, I'd be lying if I said

we weren't planning
on it from the start.

Besides, we're all pretty curious
about that pendant ourselves,

because our mission is to
discover the mysteries of Pokemon.

That's what the
Rising Vault Tacklers are all about.

CHARIZARD ROARS

Rising Vault Tacklers?

So, that's you guys?

Wait, what? Didn't I tell you that?

Nope.

Come on, man. You didn't
explain anything, did you?

ORLA: I suppose any of us
could have said something.

My bad.

We'll talk about that later.

INTERNALLY: He did it again.

But one thing's for certain,

we're glad you're on the team.

I'm glad I'm on the team, too!

Any foods you can't stand,
or any allergies?

I can eat anything.

That's what I like to hear.

I'm Orla, the mechanic.

This is late,
but it's nice to meet ya.

PIKA-PIKA!

Thanks.

It's nice to meet you all, too.

We set sail straight ahead for
Liko's home in the Paldea region.

Steady as she goes!

Hey, while we're there,
we can collect our bodyguard payment

from Liko's mother.
What do you think?

That's so uncool.

Way to ruin the moment.

Come on, you can't adventure
on an empty wallet!

That's a bit too honest!

Seriously,
off on an actual adventure?!

Liko, that is so cool!

I'm hoping I can take our classes
remotely when school starts back up,

but that means I won't be able
to hang out for a while.

I'll miss you.
At least we can still talk this way.

I hope that you find what you're
looking for out there, Liko.

OSHA!

MEOW?

For sure...

..cos Sprigatito's with me!

Morning, Gramps! Morning, Roy!

Getting an early start?

Yeah, storm's over,
and I've got lots to do!

Woohoo!

KRABBY CLICKS

HYAH!

Yes, direct hit!

Oh...

Whoa-h*!

I love a good storm!

It leaves treasures everywhere!
