15x03 - Lost at the Stamp Rally!

[bunniefuu]

[panting]


Slow down, Cilan!


Now, where are you? Right there!


Whoa, what's the rush?


Yeah, really. Some of us have to breathe, you know.


There it is!


'The Subway Bosses Stamp Rally.'


ASH 'Wow!'


'But did we have to run all the way here?'


Look. Here's why.


When one competes in the Rally


it normally takes three whole days


to collect all sixty stamps.


Sadly, this is the final day.


- Oh. Then that means.. - It's not going to happen.


Au contraire. I'll get them all in one day.


In fact, when the rally ends at p.m.


they'll all be mine.


Oh, the high drama of stamp collecting


'collected by such a kid.'


Tsk, tsk, tsk.


And once I've gotten all stamps, voila!


'I'll have the privilege of battling'


'either Subway Boss Ingo or Emmet.'


There is no higher honor as a true Subway fan.


'It's a Metro Connoisseur's dream of a lifetime.'


Battling a Subway Boss sounds fun.


I want some of that.


CILAN Of course.


So let's pursue the Subway Bosses Stamp Rally together.


Then, we will experience Subway Time.


Sorry, Cilan. You're a bit late.


Ash already promised he'd do


some Nimbasa City sightseeing with me.


Yeah, sorry about that.


AXEW/PIKACHU [EXCITED]


Huh?


Uh..


Hmm? Come on, you guys!

ASH "Lost At The Stamp Rally!"


MAN # 'Now arriving at Big Stadium,


arriving at Big Stadium.'


NARRATOR Relaxing after his victory


against Elesa at the Nimbasa City Gym


Ash has joined Iris for a little sightseeing


while the drawbridge is being repaired.


There it is!


Small Court and Big Stadium.


Great. So, what do you want to see first?


- Those guys. - Whoa!


The Gurdurr Eleven versus Team Darmanitan?


The Gurdurr Eleven are my guys all the way.


[AGREEMENT]


- I didn't know you were a fan. - A huge fan.


See, it just so happens that the Gurdurr Eleven


have been training in the Village of Dragons forever.


Yeah?


Cool. So, that means I'll root for Team Darmanitan.


[EXCITED]


There. Pansage is number nine.


[chuckling]


'The busy schedule.'


'The crowded platform.'


'The station layout'


and every stamp stand location.


Using my vast Metro Connoisseur knowledge


I cannot lose. Time's up at p.m.


That was awesome!


When it comes to dramatic wins


the Gurdurr Eleven are second to none.


When it comes to fans, I'm second to none.


[AGREEMENT]


It's too bad Team Darmanitan


blew it at the end. But wasn't it fun?


[AGREEMENT]


Okay, Ash. Let's have a match at the Small Court next.


It's a deal. But this time I won't lose.


[CURIOUS]


[grunts]


Oh.


[both chuckling]


[HAPPY]


Hmm. Hm.


IRIS 'They're doing a Pokémon musical


- at the Musical Theater.' - 'Musical?'


[cheering]


Awesome. Here we go.


[EXCITED]


[crowd cheering]



[EXERTION]


[laughing]


Huh?


[EXCITED]


Come on, Oshawott. You can't do that.


[SINGING]


[grunting]


[SURPRISED]


- Hey, what's the deal? - They got Ash!


[SURPRISED] [EXERTION]


[SURPRISED]


Ah? Ah, ah, ah.


Ah, wait!


Whoa! Whoa-a-a!


[SINGING]


[EXCITED]


[HAPPY]


Wow, they're incredible.


[cheering]


[Ash laughing]


Man, I never thought I'd be dancing onstage


in a musical in a million years.


[AGREEMENT]


IRIS It's the Nimbasa City


Ferris wheel.


I've wanted a ride for so long.


Axew, come on. [EXCITED]


Iris, wait up!


[panting] Huh? Where did they go?


[ALERTING] Huh?


'Huh?'


Axew. There you are. So, where's Iris?


[CONFUSED]


[SHOCKED]


- Hey, Ash. - Huh?


For you and Pikachu, it's my treat


so don't worry about it.


[AGREEMENT]


Huh? A girl Axew. Aww, you're cute.


[SAD]


- Huh? - What's wrong?


Huh? Huh.


- Do you think she's lost? - Huh?


PIKACHU [SHOCKED]


IRIS 'Are you?'


[WORRIED]


ASH 'Iris.'


Huh? Anything?


No one's reported a missing Pokémon.


[SAD]


I can't leave you.


Not if I'm going to be a Dragon Master someday.


Right. Her Trainer's gotta be here somewhere.


Hmm. So, where did you get separated?


[EXCITED]


- Let's go. - Hmm.


The end is in sight.


I've now gotten each and every


stamp in the number four line.


- Excuse me. - Huh?


Can you tell me how I can get to the amusement park?


Sure, you want to go over to platform number two


and take the express train, three stops


which is the amusement park.


Number two, express, third stop..


- Great. Thanks so much. - You're quite welcome, miss.


Uh..


Alright. Time to conquer the number three line.


Instead of getting separated at the amusement park


I guess it must've happened right here.


[CURIOUS] Maybe her Trainer's still here.


I sure hope we made it in time.


Me, too.


[CURIOUS]/[SURPRISED]


MAN # 'We thank you for riding..'


[EXCITED]


Where are you going?


Maybe her Trainer's going in the subway car.


- Let's go make sure. - Okay.


- Huh? - Huh?


IRIS She's in the next car.


[screaming]


Are you okay?


Emolga. Go see what's up with Axew.


[APPEARING]


Just one more stamp to go.


And soon I'll battle with one of the Subway Bosses.


- Huh? - Uh, let's see..


We meet again. Hi, there.


- Uh, I remember you. - My name's Cilan.


Hello. My name's Erina.


Didn't you ask me how to get to the amusement park?


Yes, that's where I wanted to go but I got all turned around.


- And took the wrong train. - Oh.


I was going to the amusement park today with my friend.


But we got separated.


I think my friend got onboard the train


headed for the park without me noticing.


So you wanted to get on the next train for the park


but you made a mistake and wound up here.



Yeah, I'm really good at messing up


and taking the wrong train.


I just get so confused sometimes.


Don't worry, Erina.


- Your troubles are over. - Huh?


CILAN Rest assured, you can count


on a Metro Connoisseur like myself


to solve every one of your rail transportation problems.


with grace and elegance and warp speed.


[EXCITED]


Huh? [EXERTION]


[CONFUSED]


There's a good chance your friend is waiting


at the amusement park.


We'll make sure you get on the very next train.


MAN # '... as an express train is passing


through the station.'


Huh?


- Ah! - Something wrong?


I just saw my friend riding on that train!


Huh? The express?


Wait! Stop, please!


Excuse me. How long are you going to stay like that?


[ANGRY]/[ATTACK]


[PAINED]


[STRUGGLING]


[SURPRISED]/[ANGRY]


There they are. Alright!


EMOLGA [ATTACK]


[screaming]


Emolga, stop doing that right now!


[PAINED]


GROUP Who's that Pokémon?


GROUP It's Chandelure.


I'm so sorry.


Yeah, I feel really bad.


[SAD]


Well, its understandable, but from now on


please, be more careful.


- Right. - Right.


We got the wrong person. Man.


We'd better find Axew's real Trainer soon.


By now, her Trainer must be worried sick.


[EATING]


Hmm.


Hey, Ash, let's go back to the amusement park


when we're done eating.


Yeah, let's. There's no point in staying here.


Though I think it would be a good idea for us


to leave a sign that Axew had been here.


- Like what? - How about that?


[CURIOUS] Great. Perfect.


Now, Ill hang it up.


'So when her Trainer sees this'


they'll know just where to find Axew.


Good thinking. That's a real smart thing to do.


Long as her Trainer sees it, it can't miss.


Right.


MAN # 'This is express train service


to the Battle Institute.'


The express train stops at this station too.


Which means, there's a chance Axew's here.


That's great.


Huh? What's that?


This is from my Axew.


- Huh? - But what's it mean?


It's a sign.


Someone must have brought your Axew here


and left this stamp to show where it is.


Huh? Is that a Ferris wheel?


Maybe they're at the amusement park.


- Amusement park? Axew! - Huh?


Erina!


[panting]


[exhaling]


That was a bit quick for my taste.


Sorry.


You see, I need to find my Axew right away.


MAN # '...is Cross Road.'


'Repeat, the next stop..'


Huh? Huh? Ah!


What's wrong, Cilan?


I'm afraid I goofed.


We're going in the exact opposite direction


- of where we need to! - Huh?


A Metro Connoisseur such as myself


should never ever have made such a stupid mistake.


[WORRIED]


[WORRIED]


- Iris! - Huh?


- Hey! - Anything?


So far, nobody's heard a single word


from Axew's Trainer.


[SAD]


ASH 'All we can do is keep looking.'


Don't worry, Axew.


We won't quit until we help you find your Trainer.


She means it. So try not to worry, okay?


[AGREEMENT]


[SAD]



I'm sorry.


I was in too big a rush.


No, no, it's my fault for getting our directions mixed up.


I suggest we now focus our attention on finding Axew.


- Right. - Hmm.


No one who rides the subway with me


should ever have to suffer because of it.


I'll get you to your destination


and we'll find your Axew.


It's my solemn duty as a Metro Connoisseur.


Huh?


Wait a minute, Cross Road is very close


to Nimbasa City Central Station.


Huh?


Erina, I just got a great idea.


Man, it's getting pretty late.


Hmm. So, where could Axew's Trainer be?


[CURIOUS]


[SAD]


[panting] Ha.


Excuse me. Are you Ash and Iris?


[CURIOUS]


What's that all about?


Telling us to hurry up


and head to Nimbasa Central Station?


Yeah.


He asked us to wait on this platform, right?


Uh-huh.


[WORRIED]


[CURIOUS]


Hmm?


[EXCITED]


Ah.


[CURIOUS] Axew!


I'm so sorry. You must've been so scared.


I'll never let you out of my sight again.


[HAPPY]


A sweeter reunion I've never seen.


So very emotional and heartwarming.


It's Cilan.


And you're with Ingo and Emmet. What's going on?


Erina and I bumped into each other.


We've been searching for her Axew together.


But how did you know that her Axew was with us?


And us being at the amusement park.


How did you know that?


We found this.


That was a great idea.


When we discovered you all were in trouble


we had to take action.


In appreciation of your help from before


we used every tool we had at our disposal.


And now Erina and her Axew are back together once more.


That's right. And I'm so grateful for all your help.


[HAPPY] [HAPPY]


I almost forgot. So did you get it done?


- What? - It. The Subway Stamp Rally.


Huh? Huh. Huh!


CILAN 'Oh, no. I still need


to get my Axew stamp.'


- Huh? - Huh?


I've got to move quickly


or I won't get my Axew stamp


and then it'll be too late, huh?


MAN # 'The time is now o'clock.'


'Which means participation in the Subway Stamp Rally'


'is now officially over.'


'Thank you to our many participants.'


[bawling] No!


It was my childhood dream, my fantasy battle


and it all vanished right in front of my eyes.


Faster than that express train!


[SHEEPISH]


- Cilan? - Huh?


If you need it, I have the Axew stamp here.


- Huh? - How'd you get that?


I was looking for my Axew and I got off the train


at a station along the way.


Please, sir, have you seen Axew around here?


- Sure. Over there. - Huh?


I'm glad you've got the stamp Cilan needs.


Me, too. And it's yours for helping me find my Axew.


Uh, thanks, Erina, but, you see.. Huh?


- Well, Ingo, shall we say yes? - Hmm.


Once again you lent a hand to a valuable subway rider.


I think we can let this slide.


Wow, you mean it? Thank you so very much.


Since both of us are already here


how about a Subway Bosses tag battle?


That's a great idea.


This is the perfect opportunity for the two of us


to see what you can do out on the b*ttlefield.


Huh! Well?


You bet. Let's do it.


Huh? 'This is it?'


IRIS 'A subway car?'


[all gasping]


Wow, this is Gear Station!


Nimbasa Central Station's underground b*ttlefield!


Being here is a Metro Connoisseur's dream come true.



MAN # ' Now, the Gear Station Tag Battle


is about to begin. Chandelure, all aboard.


Eelektross, full speed ahead.


[grunting]


[APPEARING]


Chandelure and Eelektross. That's just like I thought.


Tepig, I choose you!


Pansage, join the fun.


[APPEARING]


Tepig, use Flamethrower on Eelektross.


Pansage, use b*llet Seed on Chandelure.


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


[b*llet SEED MOVE]/[PAINED]


I'll go after Eelektross first.


- Right! - Alright!


Tepig, Flame Charge, go.


[FLAME CHARGE MOVE]


Alright, Pansage, Solar Beam.


[SOLAR BEAM MOVE]


Can't allow that. Chandelure, use Smog.


[SMOG MOVE]


[STRUGGLING]


- Uh-oh. - Pansage, no!


Use Will-O-Wisp on Pansage.


[WILL-O-WISP MOVE]


Tepig, use Flamethrower.


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]/[EXERTION]


Eelektross, use Acid.


[ACID MOVE]


[PAINED]


Tepig, Pansage, you okay?


Just what I'd expect from Ingo and Emmet.


They battle with precision.


'The same way they run the subway system.'


[chuckles] So now, it's Evaluation Time.


"Evaluation Time?"


Oh, boy. Wait till you get a load of this.


Plus, it's Special Subway Time.


Get ready for the biggest lecture you've ever heard..


Pansage and Tepig will be


just like a subway train and engineer.


Everything in sync.


And this will guarantee


we arrive at our victory stop on time.


- Hmm. - Now, Pansage, go.


[EXERTION]


[gasping]


[SURPRISED]


Pansage. Attack with b*llet Seed.


[b*llet SEED MOVE]/[PAINED]


- Huh! - Wow!


What an amazing attack!


Yeah. Sure is.


[EXCITED]


Now, Tepig. Flame Charge, go.


[FLAME CHARGE MOVE]


Clever, it's like Pansage is in charge


of the connecting lines


while Tepig is driving straight into the heart of the city.


That's true, but it won't be working on us.


Use Thunderbolt on the bars, Eelektross.


[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]


[PAINED]


It looks like we're coming to the end of the line.


Chandelure, use Psychic.


[PSYCHIC MOVE] [STRUGGLING]


Eelektross, use Thunderbolt.


[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]


[DAZED]


[gasps]


Tepig and Pansage are unable to battle.


So the winners of the Tag Battle are


Ingo and Emmet, the Subway Bosses.


A battle masterpiece from the Subway Bosses.


Sampling your expertise was a true honor.


I learned so much from you. Thank you very much.


No, no, thank you.


I assure you that the pleasure was ours indeed.


We heard a rumor that you're all headed


for the Driftveil City Gym soon.


'Is that correct?'


Yeah. That's our next stop.


Then I've got some good news.


The bridge has been repaired


and you'll be able to cross it any time you like.


Wow, you mean it? How cool is that?


[EXCITED]


I suggest we stay at the Pokémon Center tonight


'and set off first thing tomorrow.'


Axew, how would you like to go to the amusement park


and ride the Ferris Wheel with me?


[AGREEMENT]


Hey. I forgot. We didn't get to ride on it yet.


[AGREEMENT]


Wow! Awesome.


[EXCITED]


The delightful blend of Nimbasa City and the sunset


is a treat beyond description to behold.


It's beautiful, and we're seeing it together.


Right, Axew?



[EXCITED] Next up is Driftveil City.


Ready to give it everything we've got?


[EXCITED]


NARRATOR As a beautiful sunset


tops off a busy day in Nimbasa City for our heroes


the excitement of traveling


to the Driftveil City Gym builds


as their journey continues!
