Post by bunniefuu »

IRIS Ready, Axew?


AXEW [DETERMINED] Go get 'em, Scraggy!


Axew, use Scratch! [SCRATCH MOVE]


Scraggy, quick, dodge it!


[DETERMINED]


Use Headbutt while Axew's off-balance.


[HEADBUTT MOVE]/[PAINED]


[CHEERING]


IRIS 'Don't give up, Axew!'


Now, use Scratch again!


[SCRATCH MOVE]/[PAINED]


Get up! Keep going!


[DETERMINED] Axew, Dragon Rage, let's go!


[DRAGON RAGE MOVE]


Stop it before it starts with Hi Jump Kick!


[HI JUMP KICK MOVE]


[DRAGON RAGE MOVE]


[STUNNED]


That's it! Scraggy and Axew are both unable to battle.


The match is declared a draw.


Great battle. Axew, you've really gotten stronger.


Scraggy, you were great, too.


Your Hi Jump Kick really improved.


It's obvious that both of your battling skills


have really improved, those moves were well ex*cuted.


'No doubt about it. You two are great training buddies.'


[SURPRISED]


How about a little break? Huh? Hey, Scraggy, what's up?


What, Axew?


CILAN 'They must be thirsty


after their tough battle.'

Man, those two sure are getting along.


When it comes to battling, they can be as serious as rivals


but when the battle's over, they're best friends.

SNIVY [PLEASED]

[CURIOUS] [STRUGGLING]


Ah. Are you okay?


[ANGRY]/[SURPRISED]


[LEER MOVE]


[SCARED]


Scraggy, using Leer like that's not


a very nice thing to do, you know.


Isn't that a Gothita?


POKEDEX Gothita. The Fixation Pokémon.


Gothita's ribbon-like feelers help it use its psychic powers.


Their wide eyes make them always appear to be staring.


Fixation Pokémon?


I guess that's why Gothita's staring at Scraggy like that..


Ah. Gothita.


Gothita, what is it?

ASH "Scraggy


and the Demanding Gothita."


NARRATOR With Ash determined to win


his fifth Unova Badge


at the Driftveil Gym, our heroes have come across


a Trainer named Katharine and her Gothita.


- My name's Ash. - And I'm Iris.


- And my name's Cilan. - My name's Katharine.


Gothita and I are traveling together


on a Gym Battle journey.


[SURPRISED]


Huh?


[PROUD]


'You've got two Gym Badges. Cool.'


- 'That's great.' - Thanks a lot.


Are you on a journey for Gym Badges too?


- I sure am. - So how many do you have?


- See? I've got four of them. - Awesome.


That's two more than I have.


[DISAPPOINTED] [stomach grumbling]


Uh-oh. Sounds like you're hungry.


[HUNGRY]


I'd say it's the perfect time for lunch time.


Oh, boy.


- 'Let's eat.' - 'Let's eat.'



Ah. Mm.


So good.


That's because Cilan is the best chef in the whole world.


'Hey, Katharine, are you on your way to Nimbasa City?'


KATHARINE 'Yeah. Gothita's


a huge fan of Elesa.'


- She's incredible. - You've met her?


I challenged Elesa at the Nimbasa Gym


and won the Bolt Badge from her.


I'm jealous.


Of course, if you're going to Nimbasa City


then you just have to ride on the Ferris wheel.


But first you should ride on their magnificent subway.


- Subway? - Right. A wonderful subway.


Skillfully managed by two of most gifted Subway Bosses


in the business, Ingo and Emmet.


- Using the most advanced-- - It sounds like fun, but..


...move citizens to and fro. [AMAZED]


[ANNOYED]


[FLIRTY]/[EXERTION]


[SURPRISED]


[AMUSED]


[FLIRTY]


[ANNOYED]


[EXERTION]/[SURPRISED]


[SHOCKED]/[EXERTION]


[AMUSED]


[EXERTION]/[AMUSED]


Did you know that the Nimbasa Subway uses


an all-automatic switching system, when once upon a time


they actually had to perform


every single bit of track switching by hand?


CILAN 'Amazing.'


Ah. What's up, Gothita?


KATHARINE Huh?


Do you like Scraggy?


What do you want?


[EAGER]


Do you mean you want to trade it


for one of my other Pokémon?


[HAPPY] [laughs]


Excuse me, Ash it looks like Gothita's taken


a real liking to your Scraggy.


- Huh? - It's true.


So would you be willing to trade Scraggy


for one of my Pokémon? [HAPPY]


A trade? [SURPRISED]


Come out, g*ng.


[APPEARING]


You can have your pick from any of these wonderful Pokémon.


[PROUD] [SURPRISED]/[EATING]


So, who will it be?


- I'm not making any trade. - Huh?


I wanna raise the Pokémon I already have


and help them get stronger.


'Course he does. [RELIEVED]


Huh? Now what do we do? We've been turned down.


[ANGRY]/[EAGER]


Oh, you mean you wanna have a Pokémon battle with them


and if we win, they'll trade.


- Come on, Ash, please? - Huh?


Gothita can be so stubborn once it makes its mind up.


So if we battle and I win, will you trade with me, please?


I told you, no.


Besides, Scraggy doesn't have that much battle experience.


KATHARINE 'You don't have to use Scraggy.'


'As far as I'm concerned, you can choose any Pokémon'


'of yours that you want.'


[SCARED] Uh, no thanks.


I'll pass on that.


[ANGRY]


Huh?


[ANGRY]


I see. I guess that means you don't think you can beat me.


What? That's not it.


KATHARINE 'Say what you want.


You're just afraid of losing.'


Yeah? You're wrong.


And you call yourself a Pokémon Trainer, do you?


Turning down an innocent Pokémon battle challenge.


Pathetic. Isn't it, Gothita?


[ANNOYED]


- Ugh. - You know what?


I'll bet your badges are all fakes


and you made them yourself, didn't you, Ash?


- It's okay. You can admit it. - I did not.


I earned each and every one of them


with my Pokémon, by battling hard.


In that case, why don't you just relax


and accept my battle challenge?


After all, you've got four whole badges.


Alright then. I'll battle with you.


Ash, what are you doing? You could lose Scraggy.


[WORRIED] Axew's really worried too.


- I'm not losing, I promise. - Then it's a deal.


[FORTHRIGHT]


So you want me to battle with Mandibuzz?


[HAPPY]


Which Pokémon are you going to use, Ash?


Mandibuzz, let's see.



POKEDEX Mandibuzz.


The Bone Vulture Pokémon.


Mandibuzz swoops down from the sky to attack its prey


using its sharp, powerful claws and beak.


Hmm..


[EAGER]


SNIVY [PROUD]


Tepig. I choose you.


[EXCITED]


[DISAPPOINTED]


[CONCERNED]


Alright. I'll act as referee.


Hope this turns out okay.


[EXCITED]


Alright, begin.


[CONFIDENT]


Right. Mandibuzz, Fury Attack, go.

[PAINED]/[EXHAUSTED]


Mandibuzz, no.


[SHOCKED]/[DETERMINED]


Tepig, way to go.


[CONFIDENT]


Now, Mandibuzz, fly high in the air.


Use Brave Bird.


[BRAVE BIRD MOVE]


[WORRIED]


[PAINED]


Tepig!


Mandibuzz, way to go.


[PAINED]


Now's our chance, while it's feeling the recoil damage


from Brave Bird.


Tepig, Tackle. [DETERMINED]/[EXERTION]


Ah. Tepig, Flamethrower.


[DETERMINED]/[EXERTION]


[DETERMINED]


Now, use Brave Bird.


[BRAVE BIRD MOVE]


Intercept with Flame Charge.


[FLAME CHARGE MOVE]/[PAINED]


[STUNNED]


CILAN 'Mandibuzz is unable to battle.'


'Tepig wins, and the match goes to Ash.'


Tepig, you did it.


[RELIEVED]


Oh, no. We lost.


[SCOLDING]


[EXCITED]


[RELIEVED]


Thank goodness. Look at them.


'It's hard to tell which one of them is the Trainer.'


[SCOLDING]


I'm so sorry.


You're just going to have to forget Scraggy.


[ANGRY]


[SHOCKED]


Man, it's raining.


Well, the mountain cabin we stayed in last night's nearby.


KATHARINE Follow us. Come on. Hurry.


The rain doesn't seem to wanna stop yet.


I know.


What a pain.


Gothita, it looks like we're going


to be staying here tonight too.

[UPSET] [gasps]


What was that all about, Ash?


Looks like Scraggy and Snivy are gone.


- And Axew's gone too. - So is Gothita. What do we do?


First off, let's look around here.


[APPEARING]


Tranquill, please help us find Scraggy and the others.


[FOCUSED]


You guys help too.

[CONFIDENT]


What's that?


- A Garbodor. - Garbodor?


POKEDEX Garbodor,


the Trash Heap Pokémon


and the evolved form of Trubbish.


Garbodor can absorb garbage into its body.


When battling, it fires poison from its right arm


and belches poison gas.


[ATTACK]


[STRUGGLING]


That was Clear Smog.


I wonder what could've gotten Garbodor so angry.


It must've been Gothita and the other Pokémon that upset it.


Pikachu, tell Garbodor it was an accident and we're really sorry.

[VINE WHIP MOVE]/[PAINED]


[ANGRY]


Please, Garbodor, listen.


We really don't wanna have a fight with you.


There's got to be a way to calm Garbodor down.


Katharine, is your Deerling able to use Aromatherapy?


- Yeah. - Then use it. Hurry.


Right. Hold on.


Alright, Deerling, come on out.


[APPEARING]


Use Aromatherapy on Garbodor.


[AROMATHERAPY MOVE]


[CONFUSED]


[CALM]



- It's working. - Alright!


[CALM]


Garbodor. Sorry we disturbed you.


Scraggy, running off like that got us all worried sick.


[APOLOGETIC]


That wasn't very smart.


[APOLOGETIC]


Are you sure you're okay, Gothita?


[ANNOYED]


[ANGRY]/[ANNOYED]


[ANGRY]/[DETERMINED]


Really? You wanna have a battle with Snivy?


[DETERMINED]


Okay, let's go.


[RELIEVED] Hold on, Ash.


Gothita says that it wants to have


a battle with your Snivy.


- With Snivy? - Right.


So can we have our battle tomorrow?


What do you say, Snivy? Wanna battle with Gothita?


[DISINTERESTED]/[ENCOURAGING]


[SURPRISED]/[CONFIDENT]


Okay. Good luck, Gothita.


[DETERMINED]


Snivy, ready to go?

[CONFIDENT]/[SHOCKED]


[UPSET] Huh?


[UPSET]


KATHARINE Gothita. Come back.


Oh, bye. Thanks for everything and take care of yourselves.


Thanks. Take it slow.


Be careful.


And best wishes to you, Gothita.


KATHARINE I said wait!


[HAPPY]


[PROUD]


[SURPRISED]/[EXCITED]


Alright, it's time for us to go too.


[EXCITED]


NARRATOR And so, Snivy saves the day


allowing Scraggy to stay with our heroes


who once again set their sights on Driftveil City


as the journey continues.
