01x06 - The Ancient Poké Ball!

Post by bunniefuu »

We stopped at an island
to make repairs to the airship.

While we were there,
we met this kid named Roy.

Roy and Fuecoco became friends
and helped take on the Explorers.

And amazingly, they won!

But in all the chaos,

Amethio charged at me and tried to
steal my pendant.

GROWLING

Urgh, Liko!

What's happening with that glow?

Did you just save me again, or...?
What?!

# 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
that we grow strong

# I've got a feeling

# With you I'm becoming me

# I'm becoming me

# I'm becoming me! #

Liko, Roy! I don't think so.

Out of the way.

Charizard!

ROARING

BOTH: Use Whirlwind.

You and the pendant
are coming with me.

But that's your treasure, am I
right, Liko? You can't have it.

Roy.

OK, then. We'll battle for it.

Ceruledge.

Ceruledge.

Attack them both, Ceruledge.

This doesn't look good for us.

But...we have to try.
Yeah!

Sprigatito, use Leafage.
Fuecoco, use Ember.

Waaaaah!

Block them now.

Oh, no! Are you kidding me?

Let's go, Sprigatito.

Fuecoco, let's do it. Waaah!

Use Leafage! Use Ember!

THEY YELL

Use Psycho Cut.

Sprigatito! No! It's pointless
to keep attacking.

GROANING

Wargh.

GROANING

Wah!

Yaaaaah!

Fuecoco, Sprigatito.

Did they raise their power
because they're cornered?

Roy, let's join our strengths
together, OK? Yeah, you got it.

If we fight together,
we have a chance.

Sprigatito, use Leafage.
Yaaah!

You're using that same move?

Cerulegde, go. Throw it away.

Now, use Ember!

Yaaaah! Pow!

All right!
That was an awesome combo.

Hah!

SQUEAKING

Waaah.

I see what your strategy is,

but it's not going to
change anything.

Use Phantom Force.

Look out!

Finish them!

Fuecoco! Roy, wait!

Please, help us!

My Poke Ball.

Oh!

What? Another barrier now.

No, wait. What is happening?

What? I thought this old Poke Ball
was empty,

but that Pokemon was in it?!

Yee-gah.

Is that...

..a Black Rayquaza?

What is that one?
I've never seen it.

That makes two of us.

ROARING

And the surprises keep coming.

Rotom, what's that?

Rayquaza. The sky-high Pokemon,
a dragon and flying type.

It has lived for hundreds
of millions of years

in the ozone layer.

When it flies at night,
it resembles a sh**ting star.

Rayquaza.

Are you angry?

ROARING

Hey!

Liko, Roy! Friede! You guys want to
tell me what just happened?

I don't know.
It just came out of this Poke Ball.

ROARING

THEY GASP AND STRAIN

Amethio, sir!

It's not safe here.

Let's retreat.

Rayquaza. Go back into
the Poke Ball.

ROARING

That was intense.

Sprigatito, are you all right?

MEWLING

Thank goodness.

Hey, um, Roy...

That was amazing.

CHIRRUPING

YELPING

Rockruff, you trying to become
a Slowbro?

I don't think that's ever
going to happen.

LAUGHS: You finish the inspection?

Yup. I was pretty sure this was
the end of the ship.

But I'm so happy I was wrong.

QUACKING

Oh, it was the Explorers.

They put this on us.

Here.

QUACKING AND SMASHING

Hey, all you epic Pokemon trainers!
Are you psyched for another video?

Listen up. You want to know
all about rare Pokemon?

What if I told you there was such a
thing as legendary Pokemon? Woohoo!

Super rare and super powerful.

Legendary Pokemon can appear
anywhere in the world!

And they are incredible!

Most folks can only catch them
in their dreams.

Legendary Pokemon? You think?

Yeah. Had to be. But it could
have been something else.

We both saw it with our own eyes.

Goodness. You all really ran into
some trouble, didn't you?

It was super scary,
but exciting too.

So, Roy, you're sure that Rayquaza
came out of that Poke Ball?

Yeah, I'm sure I'm sure.
It was right in my hand.

I saw it happen. Right.
I believe you, bud.

Hmm.

The Black Rayquaza...
The legends say that ages ago,

it partnered with
an ancient adventurer.

With an ancient adventurer?

So how does an old hero's
Pokemon wind up

coming out of Roy's Poke Ball?

To tell the truth...

..I ain't got a clue!

ALL GROAN

Huh?

I just found that Poke Ball
on the beach one day back

when I was a little kid,
and when Roy asked me

if he could have it,
I gave it to him.

I never considered there might
actually be a Pokemon inside.

So, you don't know anything.
That's great.

If the Black Rayquaza
was inside this...

Whoa! Does that mean that this is
that old hero's Poke Ball?

I always thought it was
nothing more than an old myth.

Sweet.

LAUGHS: Sweet!

When my pendant glowed, Roy's
Poke Ball glowed along with it.

Could they be connected?

Oh. Excuse me.

Have you ever heard anything
about a pendant like this one?

Oh! Fine little trinket
you have there, but I'm afraid

I don't know much about fashion
and jewellery.

Thank you anyway, sir.

Still, a Black Rayquaza.

Fascinating. It's definitely
got this professor all worked up.

I gotta know more.

But it flew away to who knows where.

Ring, ring, ring! Ring, ring, ring!

Ring, ring, ring! Ring, ri...

What's up? Sprigatito and Fuecoco
are as good as new.

SHE GASPS

Yes!

Hey, wait!

Thank you for all your time.

Yes.
Thanks so much for the help.

Fuecoco!

Wah-wah-wah.

GROWLING

Waaa-hah?

Way-hah-ha.

Fuecoco!

I've got something I want to say
to you, pal!

Hey, Roy... I don't want us
to say goodbye!

I want us to stay together forever!

I want to keep singing songs with
you, and battling with you, and...

You're the only Pokemon
who's ever made me feel this happy!

Mew!

Mew!

Sprigatito!

Hey, you!

I'm so glad you're doing better.

Fuecoco?

Eh... Eh...

Will you please be my partner,
Pokemon?

Huh?

It brought a Poke Ball?

Are you telling me I can use
this Poke Ball to catch you?

Wah-wa!

So does that mean you want
to be my partner, too?

Wah-ma, nuh, wah!

Fuecoco! Yeah!

That settles that.
I mean, it was pretty obvious.

Been practising this a long time,
and the moment's finally here.

Hey, Fuecoco! I choose you!

You ready? Here we go!

Fueco!

Fuecoco!

Coco!

# Coco, Fuecoco,
Fuecoco, Coco, Coco! #

How great to be a part of
such a touching moment!

My heart is so full.

Roy and Fuecoco found each other.

But the song could still use
a little work.

# Coco, Fuecoco! #

Congratulations, Roy.

From now on, you're a real
Pokemon trainer.

A real Pokemon trainer?
You guys aren't just friends now.

You're a team, so you have to
take care of each other, OK?

All right.

Well, we're going to have to take
off for the Paldea region in a few.

That means this is where
we say goodbye to them.

Wah! WAHHHH!

What are you saying, pal?

Wah!

Hey, didn't you tell me that
you wanted to be a trainer

and have adventures
and travel all over the world?

Well, maybe it's time to take
the first step?

Yeah, but adventuring by myself?

I don't think Gramps would trust me
to do something like that.

No, you have Fuecoco now,
Roy, the Pokemon by your side.

You'll be fine. So you can take
that first step, I know you can.

Just like Sprigatito
taught me, didn't you?

Mew-mew! Wah!

OK, let's do it! All right.

Sounds good. Just get
the green light from your gramps,

and you can come on board. OK.
I'm going to go find him right now!

I keep hearing "Gramps,"
so here I am.

Oh! Uh...

Well, here goes.

Gramps, I just became
a real Pokemon trainer. Wah!

So, you decided to choose
this little one?

Yeah.

So, uh, now I want to...

I want to go on adventures

and travel with the Rising Volt
Tacklers! Can I?

What did you just say?

I've got a Pokemon now,
we'll be OK!

I've always believed your stories

about the ancient adventurer
were true.

And I've always dreamed
of travelling around

and meeting all sorts of Pokemon.

I want to find Rayquaza
and then catch it!

Gramps, I've got to
take this journey.

Tell me, then,
is this your biggest dream?

It's not only mine.
It's Fuecoco's dream. Fueco!

Fueco wants to become big
and strong and awesome,

just like Charizard.

It wants to be the best
that it can be.

As its trainer, I'm going to help
it make its dream come true.

Both of our dreams! Fueco!

Hmm...

Sure, why not? What?
You really mean that?

Until yesterday, the only thing
you ever talked about

was fulfilling your own dream.

But things are different today.

You talked about
your partner's dream, too.

Pokemon and trainer
should share one heart.

Combine strength with that little
one, for its sake as well.

Isn't this great, Fuecoco?
Wah, ha-wah!

I went ahead and packed your things.

You did? But why?

I've known from the start
that this day would come.

But don't worry about little old me.

I'll be fine.
Now get going.

Thanks, Gramps.
You're the greatest!

Welcome to the ship, Roy.

We'll try to keep him
out of trouble.

I'll hold you to it, Professor.

And when you come home again,
it's going to be on Rayquaza's back.

Won't that just be amazing?

I'll even take you for a ride on it.

And Fuecoco will come with. Wah!

That's my official report.

Why did you feel compelled
to act alone?

It was my decision.

I take full responsibility.

CHUCKLING

I can't say I'm surprised, Amethio.

How do you expect to serve Master
Gibeon by failing so miserably?

And to suffer such a defeat
in a Pokemon battle?

I would not have lost if
Rayquaza hadn't gotten in the way.

Ah, yes, of course.

The, erm, Rayquaza
that you say you saw.

Do you doubt my word?
That's enough, you two.

Don't forget where you are standing.

Spinel, I want you
to follow them now.

I shall personally place
the pendant in your hand.

Amethio, you are relieved of duty.

Your work is done here.

Why don't you go rest up,
while I go do what you could not?

Master Gibeon.

Yes, it's been found.

No!

Amethio, sir,
I heard someone stole your command.

And we're just supposed to take it
and do nothing?

We have a new target -
the Black Rayquaza.

It's the key we need to finally
understand that resonance.

Dah! Oh, Pikachu!

OK, listen up, new guy.

That's going to be Captain Pikachu
to you.

Yes, sir. It is an honour
to meet you, Captain.

Pikachu.

Hey again, Roy. Welcome.

ALL LAUGH

It's going to be more entertaining
around here now.

Yeah. All right.

It's launch time, everyone,
to their posts.

Hang on.

Oh, wait a second.
That's our flag!

You mean you actually found it
for us? Roy!

I found it lying on the beach
the morning after that big storm.

This is so great! This flag brought
Roy and Fuecoco together!

The best time to find treasure
is after a storm.

So then it was you the whole time!
You're the treasure!

Roy! Uh-huh?
Got your first job.

You're going to run this up
the flagpole.

Pika-Pika. Brave Olivine,
commencing launch procedures.

Bye! Have a great time!

Be the best version of yourself
you can be!

Gramps...

..I'll be back one day!

Roy, look.

So pretty.

The sea is really huge, huh?

I've seen it every day,
but never like this.

It's really starting.

Sure is.
Off to the Paldea region and my...

I mean, our adventures together
are waiting there.

Just you wait, Rayquaza.

I'm coming! I'll find you!

Yeah!

BOTH LAUGH

And that's how a new crewmate
stumbled into our lives

and joined the Rising Volt Tacklers.

The pendant I got from my
grandmother brought me here,

and it's connected all of us.

It's so exciting.

An ancient adventurer,
a Black Rayquaza.

There are still tons of mysteries
to uncover.

How far can we go?
