01x44 - The Plan to Capture Rayquaza

Post by bunniefuu »

The journey
of the Rising Volt Tacklers continues!

In order to find the last three
of the Six Heroes

and uncover the mysteries
surrounding Terapagos,

we've traveled back to the Paldea region!

Roy and I were shopping for supplies
in a small town

when we were challenged
to a Pokémon battle by the Explorers!

But then, all of a sudden, they took off.

We'd heard rumors about some shady people
building a tower on a nearby island.

It makes me feel pretty uneasy.

Hmm?

That must be it.

Pika, Pika...

Let's head back.
Everyone, meeting room, pronto.

♪ 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 ♪

On a deserted island
near Levincia's harbor,

we saw a building
that looks pretty suspicious.

It looks just like the one
in the pic the Snap Boys took!

And then there's this.

I remember him!

He stole my pendant in Levincia!

Then this is the definitely the Explorers.

But what
do you think they're up to?

Coral said they're calling
the black Rayquaza, I think.

I see, they're plotting to use
special tech to try and capture it.

We can't let jerks like them
get their hands on Rayquaza!

Fueco, coco.

I agree. Cap can destroy
any tech that they use.

I'm thinking we should take
the fight to them.

Pikachu.

All right, I'm gonna see if I can quickly
put a program together then.

What kind?

One that'll block and shut down
any system they use.

For me, this one's personal.

Got it. Thanks, Dot.

Problem is, we have no idea
when they'll make their move.

If we're gonna infiltrate, now's the time.

Hmm... If we take the airship,
they'd spot us right off.

And even flying in on Charizard...

Yup, there's no way
they'd miss that.

Ludlow, break out the boat.

Mm-hm!

We'll land opposite the tower.

Can I come?
- Me too.

No way, it's too unsafe.
You should stay here--

Hmph...

Okay, come on.

Everyone else, stand by onboard.

We may need you to take off quick,
so make sure you're ready.

Pika, Pika.

Roger!

Try to stay as quiet as you can, okay?

Mm-hm.

Doesn't look like
anyone lives here, huh?

Yeah.

Fuecoco... Fuecoco...

Hey, be quiet, Fuecoco!

They're obviously not used to humans here.

We gotta keep moving.

Pikachu!

Shh!

Pika...

Hmm... Nobody's guarding it.

It's unlocked.

Then maybe...

I'm gonna check it out.
You three hang back.

And if anyone shows up--
- We battle them, right?

Mm.

Okay, Ludlow,
keep these kids out of trouble.

Mm-hm.

You can count on me.

All right, Cap,
let's find out what's in there.

Pika...

Huh?

I can't open it!

Friede! Friede!

You just let everyone except us get away.

It doesn't matter.

Please, do not insult me.

As if I'd let a couple of silly children
derail me so I fall behind schedule.

I know that voice.

Now that I've finally put a face to it,
it'll be easier to get down to business.

Ah, Professor Friede. Welcome!

I'm thrilled you could make it.

See, Coral leaking information
was always a part of the plan.

This facility was in fact designed
to keep you shut in.

So me coming in here
was part of your big plan, eh?

Liko, Roy! Turn around!
It's a dead end!

Get out of here! Look somewhere else!

Wait a second, Friede! What do you mean?
- Are you all right?

Try to remain calm.

Friede got himself into this pickle.

He's more than capable
of getting himself out.

Our job now is to trust him
and move forward with our search.

Well, he did say this place
was a dead end.

Hm! All right. Let's keep looking around.

Fueco!

Think, Liko.
Where could the Explorers be?

Where would they call Rayquaza?

Do you really think this is
gonna get Rayquaza to show up here?

That's so totally lame!

What's keeping
our little prince Amethio, anyway?

Is he fashionably late?

We alone shall carry out this mission.

Per Spinel's instruction.

Whoa! You mean, Amethio
didn't get picked for the team?

Well, Spinel's always hated
the spoiled little brat.

It's totally funny--
- Stop the insipid chatter.

Get back to your posts.

Yeah, yeah, I know! Post-schmost!

Glalie...

Cham!

It's close.

A resonance-signal broadcast station?

Yes, aren't you clever!

By analyzing past data,

I was able to reproduce the energy
that Terapagos uses to call Rayquaza,

who won't know the difference, of course.

And if that works,
you really think you can defeat it?

Indeed, we have three Explorers
ready and waiting.

We will catch Rayquaza.

Working with others? I hadn't pegged you
for a guy who'd ask for help.

Don't be ridiculous.

If I can make use
of anyone or anything, I will.

Don't you see?

I am the man who will obtain
the black Rayquaza without a fight.

Umbreon!

Umbreon...

Cute, but not gonna happen!

I doubt you can use
Charizard's flight

in such a confined space as this.

Or run amok with Terastallization.

So even that was part of the plan, huh?
- Pika!

Pika, Pika!

A Pikachu?

You underestimate me.

You know, someone said
a very similar thing not too long ago.

He regretted that.

Now, Umbreon, use Snarl!

We got this, Cap!

Use Double Team!

Pika!

Thunder Punch, go!

Pika, Pika!

Umbreon, Reflect!

-kachu!

We're still in this! Use Double Team!

Delete them!

Use Quick Attack!

Hit it right back
with Thunder Punch!

Use Foul Play!

Pika!

You okay?

Pikachu!

Hmm!

Okay, now what's our next move gonna be?
- Pi, Pika!

Hmm?

Let's go for it!

Pikachu!

We've looked everywhere: nothing.
- There may be no one here at all.

What else is nearby? Levincia, maybe?

Let's try it.
- But without a single clue...

Terapagos?

What is it? That way?

The lighthouse. Is something there?

Huh?

Fueco...

Liko!
- Uh-huh...

I know that feeling!

Caught your eyeballs in my Electroweb!

Whosawhatsit?
It's Iono, coming at you live and direct!

Hello, hello, hola, ciao, and bonjour!

Just an iota of time for your Iono
streaming quota, my Electro-babies.

And on the menu for today is...

Hmm? Huh? Hmm.

I don't know about that.

Fueco!
- Rayquaza!

We gotta hurry!

We're heading there,
full speed ahead!

Quagsire!

Quag!

Use Hydro Pump now!

Quagsire!

Just as Spinel predicted,

its guard is down.

Commence attack.

Okay, Glalie, use Blizzard!

Garganacl! Use Salt Cure!

Legendary Pokémon or not,

it can't avoid a surprise attack
it's weak against.

You're up, Medicham. Use Psybeam!

Oh, no!
- This is bad!

Liko, look!

That machine's calling out to Rayquaza!

We have to let the others know, Roy!

It all makes sense now.

We gotta find a way
to stop that machine.

Or Rayquaza's in real trouble!

I finished the program, you guys.

We're ready!
- Thanks, Dot!

Aha!

But we can't do it from this far.

Someone's gonna have to get close enough
to touch that thing.

Oh...

Quaxly...
- Tinkatink...

I don't know if I can do it,

but if that's what it's gonna take--
- I'll go.

No way, it's too risky!
And I cannot let you!

Liko and Roy can fight, right?

Well, you know what? So can I!

Quaxly!
- Tinkatink!

Wow, Dot.

Okay, fine. We'll make sure you get there!

Everyone, go to your stations!

Yes, sir!

Huh?

It seems the black Rayquaza has appeared.

Cap, now!
- Pi! Pi! Pika!

Umbreon, quick, Foul Play.

We aren't finished yet!
- Pika!

Use Foul Play.

Pikachu...

Stalling for time now?
I can't seem to wrap this up.

Indeed. I'm afraid
you're powerless, Professor.

You couldn't even leave this place
if you tried.

Don't give up, Cap! Keep going!

You keep repeating the same failed attack.

Hmm.

It's about that time, Cap!
Use Volt Tackle!

Pika, Pika, Pika, Pika, Pika!

Umbreon, use Reflect!

Pika, Pika!

Sorry, pal. Broke your building.

Unreal, they used Pikachu's power
after each Foul Play...

Thanks for letting us
make the best use of you.

Charizard!

Here you go, Cap!

Pika!
- Hmm?

There it is.

Let's fly, Charizard!

Fascinating.

It seems there's much more fun
to be had from this.

Our victory is certain now.

Hold it!
- Don't do it!

Huh? It's them!

Sorry, you're too late.

We'll be the ones
to catch the black Rayquaza.

Hey, it's Dot!
- I hope we're not too late!

Fuecoco, Stomping Tantrum!

Fueco! Fueco, Fueco, Fueco!

How impertinent! Garganacl!
- Sprigatito, use Quick Attack!

It won't stop moving.

Not so fast! Wattrel, go!

Use Spark!

Medicham, use Psybeam!

Medi!

Wattrel!

Wattrel...

You're so awesome, Wattrel!
Thanks a whole bunch!

Take a rest.

Heads up, loser!

You'd better stay out of our way!

You little--

Friede!

Sorry, I'm late. You been waiting long?

Pika, Pika!

And now, go!

Tinka!
- Quaxly...

What just--?

Ow... Quaxly, use Water g*n!
Tinkatink, use Slam!

Medicham, dodge it!

Gotta reach the power port. There!

Go, Rotom!

What?

Yes!
- Did you just--?

Quaxly, Tinkatink!

Go, Dot!

Tinkatink...

Hey, Quaxly, Tinkatink! Good job!

Tinka...

Tinkatink...

Oh! It's okay! It was scary, I know.

Tinkatink, return!

Dot!

You did it! Yay!

You were awesome!

Not good.

Medicham, use Zen Headbutt!

Garganacl...

This is bad!

We're cooked if we don't get out of here!

Chu! Chu!

Huh?

Okay, now I'm really mad.
Quit messing with me!

No! Don't try to chase it!

Blow it away! Glalie! Use Self-Destruct!

This is terrible.

What do we do now?

Fueco...
