01x35 - The Wild Pair, Friede and Cap! (A Duo in the Wilderness: Friede and Cap)

[bunniefuu]

My name is Liko,
and there's so much I have to learn...

about Pokémon, about myself.

In order to find the three
remaining members of the Six Heroes

and unravel the mysteries of Terapagos,

the Rising Volt Tacklers have charted
a course for the Paldea region.

Listen up, everyone.

It hurts to say it, but the Rising Volt
Tacklers have officially gone broke.

As in...
- It finally happened.

We've been adventuring all over,
not taking jobs.

So we can't keep up with our expenses.

Pika, Pika...

We're gonna keep exploring
and looking for the Six Heroes.

But I'd like everyone to start helping out
in the money-making department.

Pika, Pikachu...
- You got it!

So we need money.

I don't get it.
I mean, isn't adventuring our job?

Adventuring doesn't put food on the table.
You gotta find ways to make money

to keep the journey funded.
- I didn't realize.

Maybe I could sell baked goods and stuff.

I'll ping a group I'm in
to see if anyone needs repair work.

Mollie, put out an ad saying you're
available for Pokémon health services.

Yeah, sounds good.

Dot, could you make me a video ad?
You've done that before, right?

Oh! And a nice video to promote
my homemade desserts!

sounds like a hassle.
- That's not the spirit.

You're good at editing.
This is a way to pitch in!

I can do work
if all it takes is a little muscle.

I'm good at trekking through the woods!

Yeah! I wanna help out too,
in any way I can.

A student's main job is to show up
to class and hit the books.

Really? So, like,
adventuring costs money?

It seems that way.

Huh?
- Hmm?

Did you catch that? Or...

Hey, Hatenna, you wanna say hi?

Tenna!

It is such a cutie!
Just look at its little face!

There's the bell. Talk to you later.

Mm-hm!

Good morning, everyone, how we doing?
- Hey, everyone! Good morning!

Oh! Fishing starts with...

throwing in a line.

Let's talk about your next paper:
"The Ideal Partnership."

Think of a Trainer and Pokémon pair
who you look up to, who you wanna be like,

and write a few pages
on what you admire about them.

And then we'll share these papers out loud
during the next class.

The ideal partnership.

A pair that I look up to?

Hmm... Of everyone I know,
I guess it'd have to be...

Good news, we already got a gig!

Got a message from a friend
who needs help finding a lost Pokémon.

I'm gonna get right on it.
- You don't need our help?

Nah! I've done my fair share
of Pokémon tracking.

Cap and I should be able
to handle it! Right, little buddy?

Pika, Pika!
- Friede and Cap! Yeah!

They're strong in battle
and have such a good friendship!

I heard what you were talking about.

Can I come along?
- Uh, can I come too?

Sure! It's a field trip!

Great!

I'll see the ideal partnership
in action!

♪ 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 ♪

This is it.

Careful, you two.

Things around here can sometimes
get a little wild and rowdy.

Hmm? Well, I'll be!

Guess you got my message, huh, Friede?
- Long time, no see, partner!

Fellow members
of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

They wanted to tag along
and help with the job.

I'm Liko.
- My name's Roy.

Pleasure to meet you two.
You can call me Shine.

This is the Pokémon I'd like you to find.
- There's a Pokémon there?

Hmm... So it's Bramblin, huh?
- Yup.

Caught it during a trip to Paldea
last month.

I take it on walks at times, but
yesterday, a strong gust carried it off.

Your Pokémon blew away in the wind?

I wanted to go searching for it myself,
but my hands are full.

Been hearing rumors about some
rotten bunch of rustlers roaming the area,

rounding up any and all wild Pokémon
they come across.

That's not great. Shine works to protect
wild Pokémon and keep them safe.

That means keeping an eye out
for poachers and anyone else

who might be up to no good.
- Really?

All right, I get the picture.

You go do what you gotta do,
and leave Bramblin to us.

I'm pretty sure we can find it for you.
What do you think, Cap?

Pika, Pika!

The ideal partnership,
ready for anything!

Bramblin. The Tumbleweed Pokémon.
A Grass and Ghost type.

This Pokémon is the result of a wandering
spirit getting tangled up in dried grass.

It tumbles with the wind
to destinations unknown.

Sounds kind of sad.

If we think about where the wind
was blowing yesterday,

Bramblin should be
somewhere in this area, but...

Pika!
- Hmm?

That's a bingo!

Hey! Bramblin, over here!

We're friends with Shine! He asked us
to come out here and look for you!

Huh?
- Wait up!

Cap! Can you catch it?
- Pika!

Kachu!

I got it.
- Fueco, Fueco!

Looks like we lost sight of Bramblin.

We've got desert to the left
and an oasis to the right.

Let's head left!

Left? Into the desert?

Bramblin may be a dr*fter,
but it really doesn't like to get wet.

As much as it can, it's gonna try
to avoid going near water.

That's why you're a Pokémon Professor!
- Let's go!

Pika, Pika!

Is there something wrong, Cap?
- Pikachu!

Cap must want us to go that way.

What? Come on, Cap,
think of Bramblin's tendencies.

Left is definitely the right way to go.
- Pikachu--

Okay, you're just being stubborn.
It doesn't make any sense. That way!

Pika!

That way!
- Pikachu!

I said that way!
- Pikachu!

We're going left!

Pikachu!

Maybe we should try both ways?

So, there are times
when they don't agree.

How'd it get up there?
- I guess both directions were wrong!

Let's go!
- Pika!

Okay!
- Fueco!

It went back into the desert!

It'll be easy to spot
in a wide-open space. Don't worry.

Huh?
- Hmm?

Whoa! Look at that!
There's a whole stampede of Bramblin!

No, that's just normal tumbleweed.

They look like Bramblin, but they're just
bundles of dried-up plants and grass.

Bramblin, are you there? Can you hear me?

It's somewhere in there, Friede!
- Oh, man.

This is gonna be like trying to find
a needle in a stack of needles.

Not this one!

It's not over here!

Fueco?

Pika, Pika...

We're having a hard time finding it, huh?

Hmm?

It was Bramblin, wasn't it?

Guys! I just saw-- Oh!

Terapagos?

You okay?

What happened?

Did you see Bramblin or something?
- I did. Right over there.

And it's gone again.

What's the deal? All of these Pokémon
are kind of gnarly looking.

I told you, it's only the cute Pokémon
I want, not whatever these are.

I think I should hire different hunters.

Sorry there's nothing to your liking here,
little miss,

but we've still got another team
hunting around--

Howdy, everyone. We just caught
another one a little back that way.

Is this supposed to be a Pokémon?

There's nothing adorable about it.
- Begging your pardon,

but this happens to be an extremely rare
Pokémon called Bramblin!

Look at the way it glances around.

Isn't it the cutest thing?
- You seriously think so?

Whatever. You two put it in the cage.
- Yessum!

Bramblin...

A Bramblin?
- Can't help you.

Sorry, haven't seen one.
- Jigglypuff.

So there's been no sign of it here.
- It must've not come back to town.

Come here! Look at this!

Aw!
- Pika...

What a darling Pikachu!
- It's just so adorable in that little hat!

What a cutie pie!
- Pikachu!

What's going on with Cap?

It'll be fine.
It's just its allergy acting up again.

Its allergy?

Yeah, Cap's allergic to being called cute.

Someone goes and calls Cap cute,
and suddenly it can't stop sneezing.

That actually sounds awful.

You are so cute!

Kachu!

Pika...

That was rough back there, huh, Cap?

Eh, there are worse things
than being popular with the ladies.

Chu!

Hey, that hurts! Don't take it out on me!

The ideal partnership.

Bramblin! Can you hear me?

I wonder where it could've tumbled off to.

Huh?

You think this one is cute?

'Cause she sure didn't seem to like
the Bramblin we caught.

That guy just said they caught a Bramblin.

Do you think these people are maybe the...

Poachers that Shine was talking about?

Yeah. Let's go.

Hey there, fellas!

I was wondering if you could help me out
with something.

Huh?

The Pokémon poachers?
You really found them?

Try to get here ASAP.

We're about to head to the canyon
where their boss is waiting for them.

According to these two,
they've got Bramblin.

Sounds good, we'll see you in a bit.

All right, everyone,
who's up for a little rescue operation?

Ugh! Where are they?

I really want to see
my cute new Pokémon, like, now!

I'm sure they'll be here
any minute now, miss.

One of you run and get some
cold refreshments for the little lady!

Aha! There you are.

They do have Bramblin!

That Bramblin you have
is my friend's partner Pokémon.

So I'm gonna need you to let it go.

Huh? Who are these people?
They're k*lling my mood!

Don't you worry, young lady. The boys
and I got this situation under control.

Quiet this guy up, would you?

Yes, sir!

Omastar...
- Toxtrics!

Fueco!

Time to run wild, Cap!

Toxtricity, use Acid Spray!

Omastar, use Rock Blast!

Omastar!

Pi! Pi! Pi!

Pika!

All right, use Thunder Punch, now!

That Pikachu!

It's so cute! It's so cute! It's so cute!

I want it! I want it! I want it! You just
have to grab that cutie Pikachu for me!

Coming right up, little lady.
Mudsdale, use Mud-Slap!

Hey, Cap, look out!

Toxtricity, use Acid!

Omastar, use Water g*n!

Oh, no, Cap.
- We gotta help it. Fuecoco, use Ember!

Sprigatito, use Leafage!

Fuecoco!

Mudsdale, use Bulldoze!

There's no way to get close to that cage!

Oh, nice, it's using Power Whip!

Yeah! Good going, Bramblin!
Break the cage yourself and escape!

Doesn't seem to have enough strength.

What am I even paying you people for?

Little Avalugg, use Blizzard on the cage!

Bramblin!
- Right. Now everyone freeze.

If any of you make a move,

I'll have little Avalugg here
attack these Pokémon again!

Not the cutest thing, but...

That ties our hands quite a bit.

Huh?

Isn't that...?

What do we do, Friede?

All right, we'll go with that!
We'll force our way through.

You all with me?
- We're with you, Friede!

Fueco...

Pika!
- Wait. Does Cap not like this plan?

We don't have a lot of choices here, Cap.
We gotta push through!

Pika, Pika!

Really need you to listen to me right now,
buddy, and go when I say go.

Pika, Pika!
- It's stubborn again.

Pika!
- Hey, Cap, wait!

Fine, if that's the way you want it.
Just see if I care!

Liko, Roy, can you two handle things here?

Are you kidding?

Arguing at a time like this?
Where'd the ideal partnership go?

Ha! A mutiny!

Why are you standing here gloating
when my cute Pikachu is running away!

Uh, right.

Let's deal with this bunch
then get after that Pikachu, boys!

Yes, sir!

I don't think we have a choice, Liko.
Let's get them!

And then I'm gonna write
a different paper!

What are you talking about?
- Toxtricity, use Thunder Shock!

Tox!

Fuecoco, use Ember!

Fuecoco!

Omastar, use Water g*n!

Sprigatito, use Leafage!

Mudsdale, use Bulldoze!

Fueco! Fueco!

All that's left is Avalugg.

Do it now!

Huh?

Little Avalugg!

Think you can trick us?
Mud-Slap, Mudsdale!

Pika!

Uh, Cap?
- What just happened?

A-plus timing there, little buddy.

With Avalugg down,
we can break Bramblin out!

Not necessary.
- Huh?

Bramblin, use Rapid Spin
right where you are!

Huh?

Brambleghast...

Did Bramblin just evolve?

Bramblin didn't have enough strength,

but now that it's Brambleghast,
things are different.

Brambleghast, use Power Whip!

Brambleghast!

Amazing!

That's Bramblin. It evolves
after traveling a long way.

I assumed after being carried so far
by the wind, it was ready for Evolution.

Then a few moments ago,
I saw the signs of it.

So I thought, take out the Avalugg
and buy it a chance to break out.

Are you saying fighting with Cap
was all part of the plan?

There was a little bit of ad-libbing.

I was getting the feeling that Cap
had a plan in mind.

So I figured
I should just follow its lead.

It was an excellent plan, Cap!
- Pika!

All of this chitchat
is really starting to annoy me!

Pika?
- You're...

You're so...

You are so not cute!

Toxtricity, use Acid Spray!

Toxtricity!

Omastar, use Rock Blast!

Pika! Pika!

Cap, now use Thunder Punch!

Pikachu!

Ha!

Thunder Punch has got no effect
on Ground types!

Now use Stomp!

Pikachu!

Oh...

My cute Pokémon...

Pika!

Really great job, Cap.

Pikachu!

Friede and Cap...

They're both just so amazing.

And they're a great team.

If I had to pinpoint what it is,
it's the close bond they share.

It's kind of hard to put into words,
but one thing I know for sure is,

when you're adventuring
with that Trainer and Pokémon,

there's always something to smile about.

Sometimes things get a little dangerous.

But when we push through as a team,

I get the feeling I've become
a little bit stronger.

By just being around them, you feel like
you've gained a little courage yourself.

Someday, I hope to become
an inspiring Trainer just like Friede.

And I hope...

I hope my partnerships are as strong
as the one that he shares with Cap.
