[Ash] This Magic Moment!

You were so close, Sophocles.

[groans] I know.

Thanks a lot.

And you were quick

on that button, Togedemaru!

[groans, then sobs]

Pika. Pikachu.

-You were incredible up there!

-[squeaks]

Both were real standouts!

Everybody's gonna want your autograph!

Well, maybe.

-Now that's the Sophocles we know!

-[laughing]

-[George] Oh, Rotom?

-Huh?

Hidee-hi.

Hi! It's been such a long time!

A friend of yours?

You're looking at a very special man.

None other than the producer

of the Alolan Detective Laki show!

[gasping]

Excellent! The name is George Charino.

Hi! The pleasure's mine.

Who knew I'd meet

the Alolan Detective Laki producer?

Incredible!

By the way, pal, why are you here today

at Alola TV?

My friend appeared

on the Alola Pokémon Quiz show!

Nice! Excellent!

I was sure you came begging

to get back on Alolan Detective Laki.

[Rotom] We're heading home.

My friend lost.

-Pikachu.

-That's too bad about your friend.

But we have another TV show

sh**ting not far from here.

Do you wanna come?

-Wow! Would we?

-You mean it?

Of course!

Maybe I'll meet a star!

I'm going to take pictures!

Don't do anything embarrassing.

[chattering]

Right over there.

[Sophocles] What? Where? There? Who?

Wow! Is that...?

[squeaking]

[Ash] Huh? A Magikarp?

It's, it's, it's Karpy!

[stammering] what did you say?

[chattering]

-Pika.

-[groaning]

Really? You know it?

Ash, you've never heard of Karpy?

Karpy is a genius

at playing young Magikarp!

Young Magikarp?

It plays the lead in the long-running

TV series, Little Magikarp's Melody!

They say it made all of Alola cry!

It's Alola's number-one show!

Ah, guess you know all about it.

My little sister Mimo

is its number-one fan.

Karpy's real talent comes out

when it cries!

The reunion with its best friend

after being apart...

[chattering]

That high-pitched voice

tugs at my heartstrings

in such an emotional way!

[Rotom] Also, Karpy isn't like an ordinary

Magikarp when it uses Splash.

Karpy uses Splash while twirling!

Along with its cuteness,

it's become super popular!

It can do all that? Awesome, wow!

I'm shocked that we can see Karpy

this close!

This never happens!

-Rotom Dex?

-Huh?

Would you mind taking a picture? For Mimo.

I'm happy to!

-[chattering]

-[photo flashing]

-Karp.

-[woman] No!

Photography is not allowed! See?

I'm so sorry!

She's really strict!

-She's Karpy's manager.

-Manager?

She looks after Karpy's interests.

Never knew that was a job.

All right.

We're sh**ting the scene

where you say goodbye

to your good friend Yungoos.

[chattering]

We're doing the take in a minute,

so everyone quiet on the set!

Looks like it's showtime.

Prepare to burn Karpy's genius

on the inside of your eyelids!

I will, I will.

All right, let's make one.

I want to hear you loud and clear.

And action!

[chatters]

[whimpers]

[sobbing]

[in low voice]

[gasping]

[gasps] Cut, cut!

Not quite what I wanted. Try again.

[sobbing]

-Karpy's body just flashed.

-You think?

Maybe you're perceiving its star power.

Sweetheart?

Can we have your usual cute voice?

Let's make it again!

[crying in normal voice]

[in low voice]

-[roars]

-I wonder what's up with Karpy's voice.

Sounds like it caught cold.

Uh, Mr. Director?

I think we need to take a little break.

-We'll be back in a flash!

-Huh?

But, but wait! Huh? [sighs]

You know, Karpy sounds sick.

Look at the time.

You're on your own now.

My other production is filming.

Thank you so much! Good luck!

George, there's trouble!

Now what's gotten you all in a tizzy?

We got word

that the Fresh-Tree lead actresses

aren't able to make it!

Why's that?

Because they were previously

filming on location in the Sinnoh region

when Abomasnow and

Froslass got into a fight!

A blizzard kept their plane taking off!

If we don't get our shots today,

our deadline is doomed!

George, if nothing is done about this,

they'll be forced to rerun

Calm Down, Archeops:

The Royalty Final Battle!

-What'll we do? [crying]

-What'll we do? [crying]

It sounds like George is in trouble.

[Ash] Hm.

-[laughs] No sweat!

-Huh?

It's the unexpected events

that really makes the blood pump!

At times like this,

that's when something brand-new

and exciting is about to take place! Hm?

Hm. Hmm.

Huh?

-[George] Nice.

-Huh?

-[George] Hmm. Say!

-Huh?

Why don't I just film the TV show

with you three?

-You mean us?

-As the stars?

What do you mean?

The very TV show I'm referring to

which is starting production today

has three girls as the stars!

And I want these three Pokémon

in the show as well! Excellent!

That's very nice to offer,

but the only acting I've ever done

was in a school play.

You should find somebody else.

But I want you three.

I'd love to try! Thank you so much!

I'd love to give it a try, too!

Let's give it a go, Lillie.

This could be a chance

to discover a new you!

-[gasps] Then, I'll do it!

-Huh?

Excellent!

Now, we start rehearsals immediately!

I never expected all of them to say yes.

George sure likes to act

on impulse, doesn't he?

Well, I think George

is a bit too impulsive!

No fair! I wanna be on TV, too!

People?

[all] Huh?

We're starting production again

so be quiet.

Is Karpy all right?

Couldn't be better! Right, Karpy, my dear?

[chattering]

All right, just do your thing

the way you know how.

This is a take! And action!

Yeah.

[chattering]

[crying]

[groaning]

It flashed! I saw it flashing!

[sobs]

[in low voice]

-[roaring]

-[gasping]

[roars]

[gasping]

[stammers]

it just evolved into a Gyarados.

[gasping]

Karpy?

-[roars]

-Karpy! Karpy!

Let's go, too!

-Right!

-Right!

-Karpy! Wait for me! Stop!

-[roaring]

[sighs] Another day of wasted daylight.

Who's that Pokémon?

It's Magikarp!

[Magikarp] Magikarp!

Come on, Jack.

Ah, wonderful, exquisite,

a thing of beauty!

Jessa-Bergère, this audition is gonna

change your life like you never imagined!

You're the manager. Manage away!

What production

is our actress auditioning for?

A -hour miniseries celebrating

Alola TV's th birthday!

-A big deal!

-Really big!

But still, don't you think there are a lot

of Fighting-type Pokémon here?

-Well, it is a big production.

-True.

-With a cast of thousands!

-[babbles]

Number is next.

-Follow me, please.

-Here I am!

It's now Jessa-Bergère's time to shine.

[Jessie] The first chapter in my Alola

broadcast debut book!

A star is hatched!

[door closes]

By the way, exactly what kind

of TV program is Fresh-Tree?

Actually, the official program title is,

The Refreshing Trio: Alola Idols!

I see.

Let me help wrap your heads around it.

What does refreshing trio mean?

It's about a team of three young girls

protecting Alola's peace!

Transforming with their favorite drink!

We're superheroes?

[George] Here are your scripts.

And here are yours.

-[sniffing]

-[gasps]

All right then, let's start rehearsing!

And action!

Uh. Perfection in pink!

Perfection in sapphire! That's not right!

Sparkling sapphire!

And glistening cold. Ah. Gold!

That means the Refreshing Trio!

We're the Alola Idols!

-[groaning]

-[George clapping]

Nice! Excellent!

Now once again with that same energy!

Right!

[roaring]

Didn't you have any idea

that it was about to evolve?

I thought maybe its tail

had grown a bit recently,

but I never imagined

that's what it was about!

My cute little Karpy!

[Kiawe] This is bad!

-They're filming over there!

-Hi!

I'm Anna, your Alola TV announcer!

It's a glorious-- [screams] Wait!

[gasping]

-[hissing]

-[gasps]

-[groaning]

-I can't believe it!

It went inside the building!

Hey! We're back with Alola Pokémon Quiz!

The final round!

Noah needs only one more correct answer

for the win!

And here's the question.

Who's that Pokémon?

-Pikipek!

-[chattering]

-And you're up, Noah!

-It's Gyarados!

-That is corr--

-[roaring]

[screaming]

-Karpy, wait up!

-You're correct! You win it!

Huh?

[chatters]

-Perfection in Pink!

-Sparkling sapphire!

And glistening gold!

That means the Refreshing Trio!

We're the Alola Idols!

That's nice! Excellent!

-That was just perfect!

-All right!

-Now, let's move on to the next scene.

-Right!

[gasping]

What is going on?

Gyarados! It's so cool!

Are you all right?

Huh?

-Karpy, it's you!

-Huh?

But it evolved into Gyarados,

so how did you know who it was?

That's easy.

It moves exactly like Karpy did.

-[roaring]

-[chuckling]

-[Sophocles] Amazing!

-Wow, you've gotten so huge!

When I first met it,

Karpy was only this big.

Wow. And look at you evolving

[laughs] Excellent! Nice!

It's almost time to make TV magic.

Would you mind giving me a hand?

-Huh?

-Pikachu.

-Wow, here we go.

-I admit I feel a little bit nervous!

-Yeah!

-I wonder how it turned out.

-This is gonna be fun!

-Pika.

[Lana, Mallow, and Lillie on TV]

Refreshing Trio: Alola Idols!

Oh, no! I'm going to be late!

-Hurry! You're late already!

-Sorry! Sorry!

If we don't go quickly, teacher'll be mad!

[all] Come on!

Hey, you three are good!

Good? You really think so?

So natural!

Thank you!

-[expl*si*n]

-Huh?

What happened?

People could get hurt!

Who would do that?

[gasping, then screaming]

-[roaring]

-Karpy, wow!

You know, at times like this,

that's when something brand-new

and exciting is about to take place! Ah!

[roaring]

-Gyarados, you did this, didn't you?

-You won't win!

-[roars]

-[grunting]

It's our turn!

[squeaking]

Refreshing! Bottoms up!

Fragrance. Okay.

Aroma. The invigorating essence. So sweet!

-[squeaks]

-[laughs]

Tea.

Ice-cold!

-Refreshing!

-[all] Superior!

-Bubbly!

-Delish!

-What's the best drink?

-This is!

Revitalizing and bracing!

[squeaking]

[laughs]

-This is refreshing!

-[squeaks]

[exhales]

[squeaks]

Pinap Juice. Is it sour?

Or is it sweet? It's both of them!

It's kissed by the sun. Golden hearts!

[squeaking]

-And it's so refreshing!

-[squeaking]

-Patting pink!

-Sparkling sapphire!

[Mallow] Glittering gold!

The Refreshing Trio!

-We're the Alola Idols!

-[squeaking]

Wow! That scene was so awesome!

You really think so?

We practiced this scene over and over!

[screaming]

[grunts]

[gasping]

[screech]

-[Mallow] All right, give it up, Gyarados!

-[roars]

Hey, I know this! We helped out!

[roaring]

-Here we go!

-Right!

On Alola's lands!

In Alola's seas!

In Alola's skies!

-[squeaking]

-[laughs]

-[squeaking]

-[laughs]

-[squeaking]

-[laughs]

[all] Give us power!

Alola, thank you sundae sunrise!

The battle is over!

And our Alola Refreshing Trio

has defeated the angry Gyarados!

But will they make it to their first class

on time?

Great stuff!

-You guys are the coolest!

-You really think so?

Because it's the The Refreshing Trio.

We're the Alola Idols!

[narrator] At times like this, something

exciting can take place!

So, let's all take on every challenge

that comes along!

[roaring]

[Jessie] This was supposed to be

my Alola TV debut!

[screaming]

[Meowth] You said you'd play a part,

no matter how dangerous!

[yelps]

-So, why did we have to do it, too?

-[yelps]

Excellent! Excellent!

The debut of Karpy, superstar villain!

We're blasting off again! [screaming]

[ending theme plays]
