14x08 - Saving Darmanitan from the Bell!

[bunniefuu]

(Ash) 'Iris! Cilan!'

Is lunch ready yet?

Man, am I starving.

Here you go! The chef has spoken.

[Ash chuckles]

Since tonight's a full moon

I skewered some Berries

and cooked up some Moonwatch Dumplings.

I wouldn't really call that cooking.

What ever! If it's yummy, it's fine!

Hey! I want one, too!

Ugh!

Not so fast.

My vegetable paella, made with fresh vegetables

and olive oil, will be ready in no time.

Huh! Wow, that looks good!

- Pikachu! - Axew!

Don't worry. I didn't forget you.

Here's some Pokemon food

using the natural flavor of Oran Berries.

- Pika! - Axew!

Good! The paella's ready.

Awesome, then let's eat!

[all gasps]

(Iris) 'Whoa! What's that?'

Darumaka.

(Ash) "Saving Darmanitan From The Bell!"

(narrator) As our Heroes continue

on to the Nacrene City Gym

they've found a moment for a little lunch break

along the banks of a lovely river.

Let's see.

(Pokedex) Darumaka.

The Zen Charm Pokemon.

When asleep, even when pushed or pulled

it cannot be knocked over.

- You're Darumaka! - Darumaka.

Aw! You're so cute!

[cough]

Darumaka's the kind of Pokemon

that stays focused and never gives up.

'Many think of it as a good luck Pokemon.'

- Pika! - Axew!

- Pika! Pika! - Axew!

Hey, what's going on?

- Pi-ka. - Huh. Ah!

Pikachu's food is gone.

Pikachu!

- It was Axew? - Axe!

Axew says it didn't eat Pikachu's food.

Maybe Pikachu ate it and forgot.

Pika-Pika!

Darumaka, did you see anything?

[gasp]

Uh-oh! I think it's asleep!

Sure, looks that way.

A Pokemon with a mild personality

yet with an element of surprise as well.

And when it's asleep you can't knock it over

no matter what, right?

(Iris) 'I wanna try!'

Wow! This's fun!

Axe! Axew!

Pika-Pika. Pika!

- Axew! - Pikachu!

Hey! Knock it off, Pikachu!

(Iris) You too, Axew! Stop!

[grunting]

- What happened? - Huh?

Now, Axew's Pokemon food is gone.

'Axew! Axew!'

You're saying Pikachu ate it?

Pika-Pika! Pikachu!

- Huh! You say Darumaka did it? - Pika! Pika!

But Darumaka was fast asleep the whole time.

That's right.

Darumaka, you've gotta wake up!

(Ash) 'Darumaka!'

Uh! Sleeping like a log!

- Pika! - Huh!

(Ash) Another Darumaka!

- Huh? - There are two Darumaka!

Come back!

Oshawott! I choose you!

Oshawott!

Good choice, using a Water-type to deal with a Fire-type!

Oshawott, Water g*n!

Osha...wott!

What? No way!

Dodge it, Oshawott!



[grunts]

Oshawott! You okay?

[groans]

[grunts]

It knocked out.

Two Flamethrowers will cause a lot of damage.

We need to get to a Pokemon Center.

There should be one right up ahead.

(Ash) 'Right!'

(Ash) 'Nurse Joy!'

- 'Will my Oshawott be okay?' - Oshawott.

Don't worry. Oshawott will be fine.

- Thanks, Nurse Joy. - Audino, if you please?

Audino.

- Now, shall we? - Yes.

[snaps finger]

- Yes? - A cappuccino.

And make it rocket fast.

"Rocket fast," you say?

Right away, ma'am.

Here you go.

(all in unison) Hm.

Your Oshawott is completely healed and feeling fine.

- Audino. - Oshawott.

Thank you so much. Glad you're feeling better.

Oshawott.

But still, those two Darumaka are so annoying.

What? You met those two?

(Iris) Yeah! You know them?

Yes.

Those two Darumaka

live here in town along with Darmanitan.

At first, they all couldn't have been

friendlier to the townspeople.

Until one day the Darumaka started

mysteriously stealing people's food.

The two Darumaka were always with the Darmanitan

but for some reason

only the two Darumaka stole food.

And those two stole our food as well.

Yeah! Then Oshawott tried to stop them.

That's what happened.

I'll bet you those two Darumaka

are really hungry.

Maybe, but they didn't used to steal people's food like that.

Something must have happened.

- Yeah. Mm. - Hm?

- What's that? - Pika?

- Huh? - Huh?

(Nurse Joy) 'Oh, you must be asking about the clocktower.'

'It's one of the oldest buildings in town'

'so old in fact, the clock and bell no longer work.'

I'm afraid it's going to be torn down soon.

- Oh, that's such a shame. - Yes.

[stomach grumbles]

Huh!

[chuckles] Sorry!

I'm really hungry, I guess.

[laughs] Oh my!

Because of what the Darumaka did

we haven't had lunch yet.

I vote we stay here for the night

and have dinner right away.

- 'I'm with you on that.' - 'Pikachu!'

(Axew) 'Axew!'

Awesome! Mmm.. So good!

These croquettes are the best ever.

[chuckles] You know what?

You two are actually quite alike.

- Wait! I act like her? - Wait! I act like him?

[mumbles]

[chuckles]

Excuse me!

Tonight's a full moon, so we have Moonwatch Dumplings

for dessert.

Delicious!

I'll help you hand them out.

[all gasps]

- The Darumaka! - Not you again!

Hey, come back here!

[Ash grunting]

[grunts]

Pidove, I choose you!

Follow those Darumaka!

Pidove!

Ash, what are you doing?

I'm gonna find out why those two Darumaka

are stealing food.

- Hm. - Hm.

[cooing]

Come back, you two!

(Iris) 'They split up!'

[cooing]

- I'll go this way! - Me too!

I'll go this way!

[cooing]

[panting]

Huh!

[panting] They got away!

(Ash) Cilan!



- Any luck? - Sorry, I lost track of it.

- Us too! - Where could they have gone?

Pika!

Pidove!

[all gasps]

[cooing]

[all gasps]

There they are!

(group) Who's that Pokemon?

(group) It's Darmanitan!

(Darmanitan) Darmanitan!

Headquarters is being very cautious.

Relaying our rendezvous point in that way.

Proving, of course, what an extremely important

operation this is.

Also proving we were chosen for this mission

because of our considerable skills.

- Cold, isn't it? - Yes.

It makes me want to have a nice warm cappuccino.

- The new item. - Our next move?

Head to Nacrene City and await further orders there.

Perfect.

The beginning of Team Rocket's future!

And this mission is the key to it all.

Bringing us one step closer to our goal.

[panting]

[grunts]

(Ash) 'Come back!'

Hold it right there! Stop!

You're not getting away!

Ugh!

(Iris) 'Mm?'

I wonder if they kept going up.

[grunting]

Ugh! Stop! Why are you two doing this?

- Look, Ash! Behind you! - Huh?

Oshawott, put out the fire with Water g*n!

Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Pi-ka-chu!

Quick, Oshawott, use Water g*n!

- Ash, are you okay? - I'm fine!

(Iris) 'They're asleep again!'

That has to be how they both recover their strength.

[all gasps]

Huh?

Stop, Darumaka!

We're not here to pick a fight with you.

Yeah, we're your friends.

[chattering]

We're just trying to figure out

why you'd wanna steal all of that food.

- Darumaka! - Darumaka!

- Darumaka! - Darumaka!

You mean you wanna get up there?

- Darumaka! - Darumaka!

Okay! No prob!

We'll help you up there quick!

- Darumaka! - Darumaka!

[Ash grunting]

And up!

[grunting]

Okay, made it!

- Cilan, thanks a lot! - Sure!

(Ash) 'Snivy, I choose you!'

Snivy!

Use Vine Whip and lift Pikachu up here.

Snivy.

Sni-vy!

Pika-Pika!

Now, you two. You're next.

- Darumaka! - Darumaka!

No need to thank me.

Hey! You feel heat from the ceiling?

Hm. I wonder what's up there.

- Pika? - Huh?

Darmanitan.

Who's that Pokemon?

(Pokedex) Darmanitan.

The Blazing Pokemon

and the evolved form of Darumaka.

Darmanitan switches from Standard Mode

to Zen Mode when it has little energy left.

This's the Darmanitan that hangs with the Darumaka.

Let me see, in Standard Mode

its physical power's enhanced

why would its Psychic power's enhanced in Zen Mode.

Wow! What a strange Pokemon.

I'm burning up.

Hey! Darmanitan must be giving off that heat.

(Cilan) 'Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.'

(Ash) 'It's Psychic!'

Of course, those two Darumaka were stealing

all that food so they could feed Darmanitan.

Because Darmanitan keeps using Psychic

the heat from Darmanitan's flame sac is leaking out.

I don't get it!

Isn't it true that Darmanitan

switches from Zen Mode to Standard Mode

as soon as it recovers?

Right! You'd think it would have recovered with all that eating.



So why hasn't it?

- Darumaka! - Darumaka!

- Hey, what's this? - 'What?'

(Cilan) 'It looks like some kind of hook.'

Something's weird with the bell.

Huh!

(Cilan) 'It's-it's floating.'

- 'Oh!' - 'Oh!'

Hm, I think Darmanitan's

keeping it suspended using Psychic.

Why do that?

Hm, let's see.

If that heavy bell were to fall

it would crash through the floor and possibly

bring the entire clocktower down with it.

To keep that from happening

Darmanitan must have caught the bell when it started falling.

When it couldn't withstand the weight anymore

Darmanitan probably had to switch to Zen Mode

to enhance its Psychic powers

and keep the bell from falling.

'And to help keep Darmanitan's strength up'

'these two Darumaka were bringing it'

'as much food as they possibly could.'

Is that right?

- Darumaka! - Darumaka!

You've done great!

Not easy, in this situation!

- Darumaka! - Darumaka!

[all gasps]

(Ash) 'Darmanitan!'

At this rate, Darmanitan's heat

will burn right through the floor.

Don't worry! We'll take care of it!

First, we'll fix the hook and then free Darmanitan.

- Right! - Tepig, I choose you!

Pansage, we need your help as well!

- Tepig. - Pansage.

(Ash) 'Tepig, use Ember on that hook!'

Tepig!

No good! It's not hot enough!

Ash! We really need to hurry!

- Darumaka! - Darumaka!

Huh?

Whoa! You two will help us?

- Darumaka! - Darumaka!

Yes! Let's do it then!

- 'Pansage, one more time!' - Pan!

Tepig!

- Darumaka! - Darumaka!

It worked!

Pansage! Use b*llet Seed on that hook!

Pan...sage!

Great! Just where we wanted it!

Excellent presentation!

(Ash) 'Oshawott, use Water g*n!'

Oshawott!

Pi! Pi! Pikachu!

Alright! Let's hook it to the bell!

Yeah, but how?

We'd need a ladder to reach up there.

[all gasps]

- Darmanitan's using Psychic! - Pika-Pi!

[grunting]

[grunting] It's so close but I can't reach it.

- Ash, you can do it! - Keep trying!

[grunting]

Come on! Ugh!

- Pika! - Ahh!

Now it's in Standard Mode!

Dar!

Darmanitan!

[gasps]

[all gasp]

- Ugh! - Pi!

Thank you! Hey, that was a close call.

'We're not strong enough to lift up the bell.'

'Could you put it back on the hook?'

Dar!

Darmanitan!

Darmanitan!

[laughing]

Darmanitan.

Wonder what they're saying.

I bet they're thanking us.

And as for you two

no more stealing people's food, okay?

- Darumaka! - Darumaka!

[laughter]

Another day to give it all we've got!

- Pika! - 'Wait!'

- Huh? - Huh?

Nurse Joy.

The clocktower won't be torn down.

I thought you'd want to know.

Hm? So, what's gonna happen?

It'll be completely restored and maintained.

- All thanks to the town! - That's awesome!

- Axe! - Yes!

And to thank Darmanitan and the Darumaka



for protecting it, the town also decreed

that they'd be able to live there for as long as they like!

Delicious, people and Pokemon

alike will be happy with a generous gesture like that!

[all gasps]

Darmanitan!

- Darumaka! - Darumaka!

Hello! Darmanitan and Darumaka!

- That's great news! - Pika-Pika!

- Now, you take care! - Axew!

'Til we meet again!

- Dar-Dar-Darmanitan! - Darumaka!

(narrator) Thanks to the Darumaka

and help from our Heroes

Darmanitan is safe and sound and home!

Now it's off to Nacrene City and Ash's next Gym Battle!
