[SWING SHOT MOVE]
[gasping]
Uh! Pikachu!
[SHOCKED]
You okay?
Ugh! Mm?
What's going on?
[CURIOUS] A Deino! Wow, so cute.

ASH "The Lonely Deino."
POKEDEX Deino. The Irate Pokémon.
Because Deino never stops biting anything it can
it is dangerous to approach without taking precautions.
[DETERMINED]/[HEADBUTT MOVE]
Deino's a Dragon-type. So leave it to me.
Deino, hi. Nice..
[HEADBUTT MOVE]/[PAINED]
Iris! [CONCERNED]
- 'Oh.' - Huh?
ASH 'Not another Deino?'
CILAN Oh. They're gobbling up
all of our food.
Argh, nothing ticks me off more than stealing my food..
[DETERMINED]/[PAINED]
[AMUSED]/[PAINED]
Use String Shot, Swadloon, and catch those Deino, quick.
[SWING SHOT MOVE]
[DETERMINED]
[screaming]
If you just calm down..
[PAINED]
[AMUSED]
Interesting.
You want me to catch you, right? Okay.
[DETERMINED]
I wanna catch one too.
Don't be selfish.
[DETERMINED]
Come on. This was my idea. What a kid.
Who's catching which one?
I call that one over there.
Pikachu, Electro Ball.
[ELECTRO BALL MOVE]
Axew, Dragon Rage.
[DRAGON RAGE MOVE]/ [ELECTRO BALL MOVE]
[PAINED]
CILAN 'Whoa. Perfect aim.'
- 'Go.' - 'Poké Ball.'
- Huh? - They didn't work.
- Does that mean.. - 'No!'
You can't catch them, so stop it.
BOBBY Listen for your information
these Pokémon all have Trainers and I am looking after them.
So that means you're a daycare provider?
Expert. Bobby powers up Pokémon.
Bobby loves the Pokémon in his care.
And guess what? I'm Bobby.
[gasping]
I'm here because these two ran away.
You Deino are so naughty.
Naughty Deino.
[EXERTION]
[PROUD]
[CURIOUS]
Every habitat is custom-designed for each Pokémon type.
CILAN 'You obviously have
exquisite taste in daycare providing.'
'Their Trainers dropped these two Deino off'
'at my daycare center for the first time today'
'so they were a bit disoriented.'
'I'm guessing the Pokémon scurried off'
'to go look for them.' [DETERMINED]/[HEADBUTT MOVE]
BOBBY It's not the first time.
[laughs]
But isn't that kind of a bad thing?
Oh no, it's just a minor setback.
They'll settle down in a sec.
But Bobby is faced with one little problem.
What, Bobby?
I've never taken care of Dragon-types before.
What's Bobby to do?
'Dragon-types are quite sensitive'
'and not easy to raise.'
I can help. I know Dragon-types.
You think you're up to the challenge?
Of course I am. We're from the Village of Dragons.
Right, Axew?
[PROUD]
You're from theVillage of Dragons?
I wanna help, too. Please let me. Deino are great.
I'd like to, too.
It'll be like trying out a brand new recipe.
You're hired. Let's see.
Since there are three of them
'there's one for each of you.'
[gasps] One for each of us?
[SURPRISED]
[DETERMINED] [gasping]
- 'Axew.' - 'Pikachu.'
[DETERMINED]
Something in there?
[CONFIDENT]/[DETERMINED]
[APPEARING]
[CONFUSED] Number three.
BOBBY 'That Deino is really shy.'
'It was dropped off here three days ago'
'but still hasn't managed to settle down.'
[CONFUSED]
I'm sure it simply misses its Trainer.
The poor thing's lonely.
CILAN 'Perhaps it feels abandoned.'
So has that Deino been eating at all?
[EATING]
Certainly not like the other two have been chowing down.
Deino need Pokémon food that provides lots of extra energy.
CILAN 'I've read that Deino
need to eat constantly'
'to keep their energy levels up for peak performance.'
'If this Deino's not eating, that could be a big problem.'
When's its Trainer coming back?
He's scheduled to come back the day after tomorrow.
But if I can't maintain Deino's good health
Bobby's reputation will be ruined.
[grunts] I'm stoked now!
Leave it to me.
We'll have this Deino back to eating right in no time.
Which will make for a happy Trainer.
[CURIOUS]
Hmm.
[chuckles]
[CURIOUS]
Bobby likes this.
BOBBY 'Take it away.'
- 'Huh?' - 'What's all that?'
'It's dinner for the Pokémon, of course.'
Uh, all of this?
But we're taking care of the three Deino.
Now, now, you've got to think big.
BOBBY Experience as a daycare worker
is part of becoming a great Pokémon Trainer.
- So here's what you need to do. - Hmm.
'Each Pokémon type gets a certain food.'
'The lids are color-coded.'
'Be sure you mark your chart after you feed them.'
There are so many different types.
Alright. Get focused.
Let's go. The Pokémon await.
Okay, rock and roll.
- Alright. - Time to eat.
[EXCITED]
[HAPPY]
[HAPPY]
[laughs]
[HAPPY]
Hey, Pidove, cool it. Come on. Cut it out.
[FOCUSED]/[CURIOUS] [laughing]
ASH Ah. We're done.
[RELIEVED]
CILAN Bobby, you really do all this
by yourself every day?
You bet. How do think I got these muscles?
You know, I'm hungry too.
Since you all worked so hard today
tonight's dinner is on me.
Well, alright!
[EXCITED]
[ENCOURAGING]
IRIS 'It's yummy.'
ASH 'Iris.'
Shh.
Still hiding, huh?
- Mm-hmm. - Now what?
Deino must miss its Trainer more than we thought.
How are the other two Deino doing?
[HEADBUTT MOVE]/[SCARED]
CILAN 'They've adjusted just fine.'
It's just that one.
I see.
[STARTLED]/[SCARED]
Huh?
Mm.
[helicopter whirring]
Milos Island in thirty minutes.
Mmm.
DR. ZAGER 'The islanders mustn't
detect our presence.'
As you wish.
DR. ZAGER 'No one's ever seen
these Legendary Pokémon.'
All three must belong to us.
We don't know the meaning of the word fail.
Unova is ours. And we'll do it for the Boss.
[helicopter whirring]
ASH/CILAN/IRIS Who's that Pokémon?
ASH/CILAN/IRIS It's Deino.
DEINO [EXCITED]
[FOCUSED]/[SLEEPING]
[SLEEPING]/[STARTLED]
[CONCERNED]
Where'd Iris go?
Don't worry. I'll stay with you until your Trainer comes back.
So please don't feel lonely.
I come from this awesome place.
The Village of Dragons.
IRIS 'I know you'd love it there.'
It's got a whole bunch of different Dragon-types
and some are just like you.
[EXCITED]
IRIS 'Something happened there once'
'that I wanna tell you about.'
It's about a Pokémon who's name is Druddigon.
IRIS You see,
Druddigon had wandered into our village
but it wouldn't open up to the other Dragon-types.
It wouldn't open up to any of the people
that lived in the Village of Dragons either.
Day after day, Druddigon refused
to come out of the cave it was hiding in.
So the leader of our village, Elder, sat at the cave entrance
waiting for Druddigon to come out.
She just kept talking to Druddigon
so it would open upt o her
just like I'm doing to you now.
Then, after a few days
Druddigon finally did come out of the cave.
Amazing. And all Elder did was talk to it.
But talking is what helped Druddigon
get over being scared.
I remember thinkingt o myself..
...being thoughtful like that might help me
to become a Dragon Master.
IRIS 'So, I'll wait.'
'Plus, I'm really happy to be here'
'talking to you.'
It's not every day that I get to meet
a Dragon-type like you.
IRIS 'I know you miss your Trainer.'
Your Trainer's sure lucky to have a friend like you.
Don't you think so, Axew?
[AGREEMENT]
[chuckles]
[CURIOUS]
Mm.
BOBBY 'Good morning, world.'
Alright, troops, time to hand out the food with gusto.
Okay.
Though I'm a bit creaky from yesterday.
Bobby. Can I take Deino's food, please?
Well, someone's perky.
So, has Deino opened up?
Mm-mm. Not quite yet.
[EATING]
Huh? [HEADBUTT MOVE]/[PAINED]
[DETERMINED]/[HEADBUTT MOVE]
[EXERTION]
[HEADBUTT MOVE]/[PAINED] [AMUSED]
Hmm. Tough one, huh?
Well, I'm not about to give up.
Deino and I are gonna be friends.
[CURIOUS]
[SLEEPING]
[moaning]
Huh?
[CURIOUS]
Huh? [SCARED]
Here. Try it.
Mm-mm.
Hey, that's really good.
IRIS 'Go on. Try it.'
[HESITANT]
[CURIOUS]
[CURIOUS]/[EATING]
[HAPPY]
You see? It's yummy. Come on. There's more.
[HAPPY]
Now, you don't have to feel lonely anymore because I'm here.
[HAPPY]
ASH 'Oh?'
What do you know. Deino finally ate.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, at last.
That's a good first step.
I'm so glad you were able to connect.
- 'Hey.' - Huh?
BOBBY 'You guys, come here.'
[EXCITED]
What's going on?
Their trainers must have come back.
You stay right here. I'll go see what's up.
[WORRIED]
- Deino. - Mm-hmm, glad she's here, huh?
Hey, good morning, Bobby.
Your timing's impeccable.
Huh?
Oh, you look great.
So glad to see you.
So how'd it go with Deino?
Deino's a very well behaved Pokémon.
Thanks in large part to these kind and wonderful people.
Uh, hi, there.
We all battled quite a bit together
so your Deino's speed has increased a lot.
Really? Deino, that's so great.
Thanks so much for everything.
Your Deino's got a lot of power.
Mm-hmm. Deino's always been pretty strong.
Now isn't this wonderful?
I love times like this.
Makes me proud to be in daycare.
It is lovely, isn't it?
BOBBY 'Right, the moments when
Trainer and Pokémon reunite'
'smiling ear to ear.'
Their smiles are the reason I went into daycare
- in the first place. - I think we're all smiling too.
PIKACHU [HAPPY]
'Okay, now here are all of your Poké ba*ls.'
- Let's go home. - Return.
DEINO [WORRIED]
Deino?
[AFFECTIONATE]
[WORRIED]
Don't worry. Your Trainer will be here soon.
- 'Thanks very much.' - 'Thanks very much.'
I realize that we were all together for only two days
'but it still leaves me sad.'
Taking them in and sending them off is all part of daycare.
BOBBY 'Yeah, it makes you sad
because you gave them your time'
and love, but it also means you guys did a super job.
- 'Ash?' - Hmm, yeah?
CILAN 'Wow, look at Deino.'
Hmm, I think Deino thought its Trainer was here.
Don't worry, Deino, your Trainer will be by
'to get you in a jiffy.'
Let's wait for your trainer together.
[HAPPY]
He's still not here.
BOBBY Now that's strange.
He said he'd come pick up Deino this evening.
- 'It sounds like rain.' - Huh?
BOBBY We'd better get all
the Pokémon inside quickly.
CILAN We'll help.
Iris, stay with Deino. Thanks!
Don't worry, we'll stay with you until your Trainer gets here.
[AGREEMENT]
[SAD]
ASH 'He didn't show up, did he?'
He could have sent us a message.
Hey, guys, I think you two should
head for Driftveil City without me.
Huh?
I know you want your Gym Battle.
But see, Deino needs me.
[SURPRISED]
Then I'll just have to stay too.
[AGREEMENT]
- So will I. - But, Ash..
Look, if Deino's your friend, then of course
Deino's gotta be our friend, right?
[AGREEMENT]
I think Deino likes when I do this.
I may not be as good as Elder
but the least I can do is
'try to make Deino feel a little better.'
Hmm. Just marvelous.
Mm-hmm, the blending of your heart with Deino's
is truly a recipe for perfect harmony.
Sweet and delicious.
He's coming.
[laughing]
IRIS Still not here.
And it's getting late.
I wonder, you don't think Deino's Trainer
could've forgotten it, do you?
[SAD]
[CONCERNED]
There's still no sign of him, is there?
- Yeah. - 'Hey.'
What's up? Sorry to make you wait, my partner.
But I'm here to getcha.
My best buddy. Your waiting days are over.
What kind of a Trainer are you, anyway?
- Huh? - Look.
If you were gonna be late
you could've sent us a message.
Deino has been waiting here forever. Now apologize.
You've got the wrong number.
My partner's over there.
Huh?
[HAPPY]
I'm so sorry.
You see, when you said you were late.. Well..
You got the this Trainer's late part right
but no more.. [sighs]
IRIS 'Ash? Cilan?'
- Huh? - Huh?
I'm gonna wait just two or three more days
and if he still doesn't come..
You could come with me if you want.
[HESITANT]
- 'Hey.' - Huh?
Hey, Deino.
[EXCITED] Deino?
[HAPPY]
Mm. I'm sorry. You must've been so worried.
That's Deino's Trainer.
Finally.
Hmm.
I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused.
I was working on improving my Pokémon catching techniques
in Chargestone Cave, a short distance from here.
GUY I got caught up
pursuing a Tynamo
who I thought had great potential
and completely lost track of how to get out of there.
For the past two days..
...I was wandering inside that cave
trying to get out of there.
We're glad you're safe.
Yup. That's what really matters.
I had a few close calls, so I'm glad I left Deino here.
But listen to this.
We've got lots of new friends.
[SURPRISED]
Wow, he's finally here.
[EXCITED]
Time to go.
[HAPPY]
[GRATEFUL] Huh?
'Didn't you want to say goodbye, Iris?'
The smile Deino had on its face when it saw its Trainer..
Deino could finally relax.
That's all I needed to see.
It helps me to realize I need to be able to connect
with Dragon-types a whole lot more.
I'm gonna train hard. And become a Dragon Master.
[DETERMINED]
That's what I like to hear.
I'll rock my Gym Battle too.
[DETERMINED]
Hey, guys. I have one more teensy job.
- Huh? - It's Pokémon feeding time.
[groaning]
No! Does my aching back have to?
NARRATOR And so, some quality time
with a lonely Deino has reaffirmed Iris' determination
to become a Dragon Master.
And with Ash's next Gym Battle just ahead
our heroes' journey continues.
This is it, it's the shrine dedicated to Landorus
'the Abundance Pokémon.'
JESSIE 'It was erected in a place
that overlooks these two islands.'
Like Landorus is keeping a watchful eye.
[chuckles]
I say we check out those two islands next.
- Hmm. - Hmm.
