01x31 - Song Within the Mist (The Singing Voice in the White Mist)

[bunniefuu]

Eh-oh?

Where'd all this fog
suddenly come from?

Think we should turn back
and navigate around it?

Come on, a little fog is
nothing to...

Huh?

There's dangerous
reefs in these waters!

If we can't see where we're
going, then...

Then we can't safely turn
the ship around, either.

Hmm.

MELODIC, MYSTERIOUS SINGING

You guys hearing that?

Sure am. Huh?!

SINGING CONTINUES

That looks like...

It's a Lapras!

Ahhh!

Maybe it's telling us
to follow it.

Could be.
I'm thinking we should trust it.

ALL GASP

We've been saved!

A song from within a white mist.

So, the rumours were
true after all.

Safe and sound! Thank you, Lapras.

SHIP HORN SOUNDS

# 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
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. #

Pika-pika!

A song coming from the mist?

Indeed.

Sailors whisper that when a ship
finds itself lost in a fog,

a mysterious Pokemon
sings a song

and, following the sound,
the ship is saved.

Saved by a song?

That sounds pretty incredible!

Yeah!

And according to the various
legends,

the sailors call this
Pokemon the Shining Lapras.

Shining Lapras?
Is it one of the Six Heroes?

Can't say for certain,
based on rumours.

Still, this Shining Lapras sounds
like a Pokemon I'd love to see.

Stories and rumours of this
song within the mist

have been reported
all around the world.

Yours truly even spent quite some
time chasing the legend down.

What happened? Did you find it?

Alas, I found nothing.

Nothing at all?

I'd hear a new rumour,
venture to the location,

and it simply
wasn't there any more,

over and over again.

Eventually, I had to let it go.

But it's always
when there's fog, right?

I'm going to look for some from the
deck! Hang on a second, Roy.

Finding this thing is not going to
be that easy, you know.

Yeah, I guess not.
Hey, Diana.

You got any other info?

Funny you should ask.

You found these, Grandma?
Of course not.

But I asked Dot for a little help.

Reports of a super thick fog have
recently cropped up

all across this part of the sea.

And you've been tracking these
reports and marking them on the map?

You're so amazing, Dot! I mean,
I just poked around on the net.

Come now,
don't go selling yourself so short.

You've got excellent
investigation skills.

Well, if you say so.

INTERNALLY: When did Dot
and Grandma become friends?

Guess that's Grandma for you!

Adventuring alone,
I was unable to track down Lapras.

It certainly didn't help that
I didn't have a ship.

However, things are different now!

You've got the Brave Olivine
and its crew.

Maybe it was impossible for me
alone, but with all of you,

we could give it another go!

Perhaps together
we can track down Lapras!

BOTH: Let's do it!

The last crew to report
a sighting

is currently docked in this
little port town.

It sounds like that
town's our first stop, then.

We ready for an adventure?

BOTH: Yeah!

It was a beautiful song.
Real pretty-like.

Yeah-yeah.

And it really was Lapras?

I tell you, there was bad fog
a couple of leagues out that way,

near some dangerous reefs.

And that's when Lapras came along
and guided us to safety. Ya!

And where'd Lapras head after that?

Couldn't tell you.

We lost sight of it just
moments before the fog cleared up.

Hey, Captain! We're going to start
loading up the replacement cargo.

Make sure you tie it down real good.

Replacement cargo?

Yeah, when we were in the middle of
the fog, there was a lot of bobbing

and swaying, and most of the cargo
we were carrying went overboard.

Huh? That's terrible!

You're telling me.
We had to buy the whole load again.

But we saw Lapras,
and the ship came out unharmed.

So I'm just counting my blessings.

Ya-wah! Ya-wah!

Thanks for telling us your story.

Liko, Roy, what do you say
we get back to the ship? BOTH: Sure!

And don't panic if a fog rolls in.

I'm sure that Lapras will
guide you to safety.

Sounds good.

BOTH: Thank you for your help, sir!

Hey, Nosepass,
which direction is north?

No-no-nosepass!

Right!

CHIME

Lapras - the transport pokemon.

A water and ice type.

A gentle soul with high
intelligence,

Lapras is able to understand
human speech.

When it's in a good mood,
it swims through the seas,

singing with its beautiful voice.

They can understand us? Amazing!

Not only that, they're also sweet
and gentle.

Wait, have you met a Lapras
before?

When I was living on the island,
a Lapras would come

and hang out near the beach.

It loved people and would let us
all ride around on its back!

Really? That's amazing!

If I made friends with one, do you
think it'd let me ride around on it?

Oh, yeah, no doubt about it!

That sounds so fun. Quaxly! Huh?

Hey, Quaxly. Isn't that...?

Quaxly!

I've got to get this on video.

Quaxly!

But aren't Nidothing's videos
always more, um...

Yeah, I know. But this is a pretty
special situation.

Something about the legend
of this Lapras

just really gets me
all hyped up.

Quaxly!

Don't get distracted by food,
or you'll let Lapras get away!

Quaxly!

It looks like we're losing altitude.

It does! Oh, man,
I hope it's not another gas leak.

That would not be good!
Ring-ring-ring!

Heads up, everyone!
We'll be landing on the water soon.

If you're looking
for a water-type Pokemon,

you got to get into the water.

The Brave Olivine invites you

to turn your airborne
journey into a seafaring adventure!

Pikachu!

So awesome!
We're sailing across the water!

Once a boat, always a boat!

Hey, look! Over there!
Huh? Is it Lapras?

No. But it could be treasure!

It looks like it's just a crate.

Not just a crate, an empty crate.

There's another!

Ah-da!

What is it, Terapagos?

Is Lapras nearby or something?

So maybe it is
one of the Six Heroes!

Yeah, it's just got to be!

All right, folks. We're entering
the target area.

We'll be slowing the engines down
and cruising

the area at a leisurely pace.

Liko, Roy, and you, too, Diana.

We're counting on you
to find Lapras.

And we'll celebrate when you do!

I'm whipping up my special
doughnuts for the occasion!

ROCKRUFF BARKS

Doughnuts, doughnuts, doughnuts!

All right, let's not get too
ahead of ourselves.

I can't wait to hear the song.
I wonder what it's like!

You'll want to sing along,
won't you?

Yeah, yeah!

Lapras can understand us so it
won't be like Galarian Moltres.

Yeah, and
if we get into trouble in the fog

that's OK,
cos it'll come to our rescue!

Try to temper your expectations.

The more we know someone,

the more we need to look at them
with new eyes.

The truth is elusive.

This fog rolled in pretty suddenly.
Pika-pika.

Very interesting.

It was super clear just a few
seconds ago.

I can't see a thing.

POKEMON EXCLAIM

HAUNTING MELODY

You hear that?!

Ba-da!

It's Lapras.

MELODY CONTINUES

MELODY STOPS

Ah!

Pika? Huh?

MELODY RESUMES

Just like the rumours said.

Pika...

Make your entrance.

There it is!
It's really Lapras.

What a beautiful song.

Ahhh...

Quaxly? Qua...

I can't see anything.

This would be pretty awesome if it
weren't for the low visibility.

I've got to get us out of this fog!

So, it really is here to help us.

All right, then! What do you say we
tail it, Cap? 'Kachu!

Now this is odd.

MELODY CONTINUES

Ah... Ah!

TERAPAGOS WHIMPERS

TERAPAGOS CRIES OUT

Liko!

Yeah!

TERAPAGOS CRIES OUT

Does it not hear Terapagos?

Roy, how about you and I try
calling out to Lapras, too?

OK!

Lapra... AHHHH!

Fuecoco?!

Huh?

What?!

A Pokemon?

POKEMON EXCLAIM

Didn't expect guests from the sea,
did we?

What was that for?
Fuecoco, are you OK?

SPRIGATITO MEOWS

Sprigatito! Use Quick Attack!

Hey, hold it!

Where'd they go?

Quaxly!

What could that be?

Fog's clearing.

Where'd Lapras go?

It just disappeared.

POKEMON SOB

I guess we'll have to
keep searching.

TERAPAGOS CRIES OUT

Hmm. Pika.

It would seem Lapras
dove down into the sea.

Yeah. I completely lost sight of it.

Hey, I'm just glad the ship
came out in one piece.

If a storm had rolled in
while we were trapped in that fog...

Would have been big trouble.

Thank you for saving us, Lapras!

OK, but here's the thing.

Some Pokemon snuck aboard in the fog
and tried to steal our berries!

What,
like they flew in on some Wingull?

That's just wild Pokemon being
wild Pokemon.

Then one of them suddenly attacked
Fuecoco with mud! Yeah!

Attacked with mud? I believe they
were Ambipom and Toedscruel.

Hang on, what?

Yeah! That's them!

I saw them, too! Rawr!

OK, but both Ambipom
and Toedscruel are forest Pokemon.

What are they doing
in the middle of the sea?

Not only that, but neither one of
them naturally inhabits this area.

And they can't swim, right?
So how did they board the ship?

Wait, you're sure that they
were wild Pokemon?

Got something you need to see.

What is it, Dot?

What're we looking it?

Quaxly caught it on video
while we were in the fog.

But I can't really make it out.

A boat, maybe? You think they
might've had a trainer nearby?

There's a few other curious
things going on.

As in the timing of the fog's
arrival?

I had a feeling you would
notice that.

Normally, when a fog rolls in,
it happens slowly.

There are signs that it's coming.

Right,
but this was like instant fog.

Are you thinking a Pokemon
used a move?

Well, Lapras is known to use a move
called Mist, is it not? Huh?

That doesn't make any sense.
Lapras saved us from the fog,

and besides... Hold on a second!
Hmm?

I get it now!
Get what?

All right, g*ng,
now here's the plan.

We're going to pay Lapras
another visit. Huh?

Orla, head to the engine room.

Ludlow, I'm leaving
the ship's wheel to you.

You got it, Friede.
That won't be a problem.

Murdock, Mollie, I've got
something for you, too.

And I'm going to need
you to come with me, Cap!

Are you going to tell us
what this something is?

Yeah, Friede, what are you
cooking up here? Not much.

Just hoping for a little
change in the weather.

ALL: Hmmm...

It's a perfect day,
there's no fog in sight.

What are we even supposed to be
searching for?

THUMP!

Huh? What's going on?

Heavier than I thought.
What are you two doing down there?

Friede's request!

He wanted us to carry all
the Pokemon food from the cargo hold

up to the deck.
All the Pokemon food?

What's that about?

Your guess is as good as mine.

If I'm right about this,

things should be getting foggy
any minute now.

Right on cue!

Heh-heh.

It's another sudden fog!

Fuecoco!

Ahhh!

Terapagos!

This almost seems thicker
than last time, and yet...

Pika!

Well, we don't call you
Captain Pikachu for nothing!

Let's do this, Cap!

Pi-ka!

Pika-pika-pika-pika-pika!

Rise higher than the sun, Cap!

Use Rising Volt Tackle!

Pika-pika-pika-pika-pika!

Pika-pi-KAAA!

Pika!

Huh?

Hold it! Who are you two jokers?!

It's those Pokemon again!

Heh! Little pirates.

You had a pretty good scam going
there, leading ships out of danger,

Lapras!

LAPRAS SCREAMS
