[bunniefuu]

CILAN 'It appears that Vertress City'


home of the Unova League is just beyond that cliff.


It won't be long now!


I'm totally psyched!


[PSYCHED]


I'm totally psyched too!


Huh? But, Iris, you're not entering. Ash is.


But I can't wait to check out all the different battles.


[gasps]


- How do we get past that? - With difficulty!


We'd better start looking for another way around.


No big deal, guys.


All we have to do is climb up and over and we're there.


You're right. [HAPPY]


[all screaming]


Iris! Ash!


[screaming continues]


[DETERMINED]


Let's go, Espeon! Use Psychic!


[PSYCHIC MOVE]


[screaming]

ASH "TEAM EEVEE


AND THE POKEMON RESCUE SQUAD!"


NARRATOR What began as a crisis


for our heroes on their way


to Vertress City has ended as an amazing rescue


by a young man with an Eevee.


Okay, now you should be able to get through with no problem.


Is everybody still in one piece?


[CONCERNED]


Yeah. Thanks to you and your Pokémon.


Thank you very much.


[GRATEFUL]


Making trouble was not our intent.


Ha-ha. Reminds me of when I was young.


ASH/IRIS/CILAN Huh?


I was always getting into trouble.


Drove my brother nuts.


- Yeah. I hear ya. - Let me introduce myself.


My name's Cilan, and I'm a Pokémon Connoisseur.


And my name's Ash. This is my best buddy, Pikachu.


[CHEERFUL]


I'm Iris. Hi. And this is Axew.


My name's Virgil. From the Pokémon Rescue Squad.


Pokémon Rescue Squad?


That's a new one on me.


Well, when there's an emergency


my Pokémon and I do everything we can to help out.


So, as soon as we heard this road was blocked off


we came out as fast as we could.


Actually, the Pokémon Rescue Squad has a number of teams.


'Our team is called Team Eevee.'


[PROUD]


What a cool name. I love Team Eevee.


[IMPRESSED]


Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon.


Depending on circumstances


Eevee can evolve into many forms.


Espeon, the Sun Pokémon.


It predicts opponents' moves


and detects air currents with its body hairs.


In addition to Eevee and Espeon


what other Pokémon members does Team Eevee have?


I'm very proud to report that Team Eevee


has the seven evolved forms of Eevee as members.


Whoa, seven? That's awesome. Wow.


I'd love to see all of 'em.


- Me too. - Don't forget me.


- 'Right this way.' - Yeah? You mean it?


Sure. We're very close to my house.


ASH/IRIS Alright!


[THRILLED]


ASH 'Look. Bouffalant.'


IRIS And Zebstrika.


They're all part of the ranch that my family runs.


Yeah? So what about the Pokémon Rescue Squad?


My father and older brother started the squad as volunteers.


To help people in need.


These days, they're working with Officer Jenny.


They travel all over the place.


Just as soon as I finished my journey


and got back home, I joined them.


[PROUD]


So, Virgil, where are all the evolved forms of Eevee?


Ha-ha-ha. Alright. I'll show you.


Now, Team Eevee. All units deploy!


[EXCITED]



'Oh, man, how awesome is this to be checking out'


the seven evolved forms of Eevee at the same time?


[THRILLED]


Flareon, the Flame Pokémon.


Flareon's internal flame ignites its breath


which is exhaled as fire.


Vaporeon, the Bubble Jet Pokémon.


Vaporeon is made up of molecules similar to water


which allows it to melt and vanish.


Jolteon, the Lightening Pokémon.


Jolteon becomes enveloped in lightening when angered.


Umbreon, the Moonlight Pokémon.


The rings in its fur glow when the moon shines on them.


Glaceon, the Fresh Snow Pokémon.


Glaceon freezes the surrounding air


by controlling its body temperature.


Leafeon, the Verdant Pokémon.


Because Leafeon's cells are like a plant


it performs photosynthesis.


I raised them from Eevee and helped them all evolve.


That's great. You must really love Eevee, right?


Yeah.


It all started when I was younger.


I was probably Ash's age and I was traveling


through the forest with my very first Eevee.


But I had way too much confidence for my own good


and we went a little too far.


We got really lost, and then the sun went down.


But just when things seemed hopeless..


Huh?


[EVOLVING]


Ah.


[PROUD]


VIRGIL Eevee evolved into Umbreon.


Thanks to Umbreon, we were able to find our way out of there.


And ever since that day


Eevee and I have had a special bond.


ASH/IRIS/CILAN Wow.


[HAPPY]


Say hello to the eighth Eevee that I'm training.


[AFFECTIONATE]


Hello.


CILAN 'Virgil, you said before


that your team was made up'


of the evolved forms of Eevee, but what about that Eevee?


Yeah, what's up with that one?


This Eevee's a bit spoiled and still in training


isn't that right?


Really? Do you think you're ready, girl?


Did you just say girl?


Yeah. This Eevee's a girl, alright.


So you think you're ready to graduate, do you?


[HAPPY]


Alright, but first we have decisions to make.


'The type of rescue and what you want to evolve into.'


[WORRIED]/[CONFUSED]


[laughing]


That's a lot to think about.


We've got time. Don't worry.


'For now, just think about what type would suit you best.'


[HAPPY]


Wow, Virgil, you're really gentle with Eevee.


You can tell Eevee cares about you a lot.


Ash's right.


[gong clangs]


- 'Hm?' - The emergency signal.


'Whoa, what's going on over there?'


VIRGIL 'It's my older brother, Davy,


and his Pokémon, Stoutland.'


Hey, Davy. What's up?


We're heading up to the dam.


You'll have to ask dad about the details.


VIRGIL 'I'm coming too.'


If I bring you, you'll just get into trouble.


I promise I won't.


You need to stay here in case there's another emergency.


Got it?


Roger.


Hey, dad.


- What's going on? - Oh, hello, Virgil.


Who are they?


I met them earlier at the cliff.


ASH/IRIS/CILAN Nice to meet you, sir.


- Hm, same to you. - What happened at the dam?


There's a report that a wild Cryogonal


- froze the water up there. - Cryogonal?


We must stop it before things get worse.


That's what the Pokémon Rescue Squad is for.


Dam Control Center, do you read me?


- Hello? Hello? - 'Dad?'


Oh, no. Our connection's been lost.


- What? - Huh?


[WORRIED] [helicopter whirring]


[SHOCKED]


DAVY 'The lake is completely frozen.'


This is Davy. We've arrived at the dam.


JEFF 'Davy, I've lost contact


with the dam's control center.'


What?


'We don't know what's going on here.'



- 'Please. Be careful.' - Roger.


Stoutland, find out what happened in the control room.


[FOCUSED]


[STARTLED]/[DETERMINED]


Stay on the trail. [DETERMINED]


[SURPRISED]


Oh, no.


'The entire control room is covered in ice.'


We need a Fire-type Pokémon to melt the ice


but that would destroy all the sensitive equipment inside.


Now, Bisharp, deploy!


[CONFIDENT] Slash, let's go!


[DEPLOY MOVE]


'Good job. Bisharp, return.'


- Is everybody alright? - Yeah.


All the ice caused a complete power blackout.


But one of our guys is stuck in the elevator.


What about emergency power?


For some reason, it's not working either.


We'll figure it out. Don't worry.


But you've got to evacuate.


- 'Right.' - 'Right.'


[all screaming]


[FOCUSED]


[PANICKED]


Everyone, out of here.


[DETERMINED]


Quick, back to the control room.


[FRANTIC]


[DETERMINED]


[ATTACK]


Huh? No.


[grunting]


- 'Dad!' - Huh?


What is it, Davy?


I evacuated the workers from the control room


but now we're the ones who are trapped inside.


'Unfortunately, this place is filled with sensitive equipment'


'so my Pokémon can't just break us out.'


You stay right where you are. I'm on my way.


Dad, you need to stay here at headquarters.


- Let me go. - 'Virgil, wait.'


JEFF/VIRGIL Hm?


We've still got a big problem here.


The power is off


'and one of the workers is trapped in the elevator.'


- Huh! - 'The way I see it.'


Unless we can get the emergency power


generator up and running soon, he's stuck in there.


And I'll bet you it's somewhere deep inside the dam.


That Cryogonal's acting awfully aggressive


by freezing up the lake the way it did.


This is not good.


This is a seriously dangerous situation.


Son, you sure you can handle this?


This is what I've been training for.


You bet. This is a job for Team Eevee.


[EXCITED]


After all, that's the reason


you started the Pokémon Rescue Squad.


We'll save them no matter what kind of danger we face.


I think Virgil's ready.


Let's give Team Eevee a chance.


- Davy. - Very well.


- Good luck, Virgil. - Thanks.


ASH Virgil. Please.


I'd like to help out too.


- Please, let us go. - We all want to help out.


Sorry, you're better off staying here.


But wait, teaming up with Pokémon to help people


in trouble is an awesome thing to do.


So, please, you've just got to let us


come along and help you.


IRIS/CILAN Let us help, please?


[chuckles]


They remind me of you when you were young.


The thing is, we don't know what could happen out there.


ASH/IRIS/CILAN So?


- Should I? - Go ahead.


Just make sure to keep an eye on them.


Right. Okay, let's go.


ASH/IRIS/CILAN Yeah.


Take Rescue Two.


But don't forget, safety first.


'Now go and do me proud.'


VIRGIL/ASH/IRIS/CILAN Roger.


[helicopter whirring]


GROUP Who's that Pokémon?


It's Eevee.


[Iris shivering] I can't stand the cold.


VIRGIL It's Rescue One.


Davy, we're here. We're at the dam.


Good. I'm doing fine.


'Do whatever it takes to get'


'the emergency power back up right away.'


Roger. The entrance to the dam is over there.


The door's frozen shut.


VIRGIL Not to worry.


Flareon, deploy.


[APPEARING]



Melt the ice with Flamethrower. Go!


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


[grunts] It's stuck. Huh?


'A key.'


'Glaceon. Umbreon. Deploy.'


[DETERMINED]


Use Icy Wind and Psychic


to make a key to unlock that door.


[ICY WIND MOVE]


[PSYCHIC MOVE]


VIRGIL 'Perfect.'


[grunting]


It's rusted shut.


Vaporeon, deploy!


[FOCUSED]


Use Bubble Beam on all the rusty areas.


[BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]


[both grunt]


ASH It's pitch black.


It's dark because the power is out.


Everyone except Umbreon, return.


Umbreon. Flash.


[FL*SH MOVE]


[all panting]


Emergency power's down, alright.


- Huh? - The batteries must be low.


What are we gonna do?


VIRGIL 'We've got to recharge them.'


Jolteon, deploy!


[DETERMINED]


Use Thunderbolt and aim at the batteries.


[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]


We wanna get in on this too.


Pikachu, Thunderbolt.


[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]


VIRGIL 'That's enough.'


'Great job.'


The elevator should be running again.


Now, let's go rescue my brother.


We're the Pokémon Rescue Squad.


- Are you alright? - Yeah.


I heard strange noises in the basement


and went down there to investigate


when the power went out.


Noise in the basement? [all panting]


[AGGRESSIVE]


- Huh? - Cryogonal.


Cryogonal, the Crystallizing Pokémon.


Created in snow clouds


Cryogonal make ice crystal chains


and use them to capture prey.


[all screaming]


- We'll stop Cryogonal. - Huh?


IRIS Virgil, you rescue Davy.


- But what if you-- - Don't worry about us.


[CONFIDENT] Remember what your father said.


Safety first, always.


If things start to get too dangerous


we'll get out. Relax.


[CONFIDENT]


Right. I'm counting on you.


ASH/IRIS/CILAN Roger.


[DETERMINED]


[ATTACK]


'Stop, Cryogonal.' [STUNNED]


You're gonna have to get through us first.


Pignite, let's go!


[DETERMINED] [ATTACK]


Intercept with Flamethrower!


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


[PAINED]


[DETERMINED]


[all gasp]


Now we've gotta deal with three of them.


[ATTACK]


[SHOCKED]/[STRUGGLING]


[all screaming]


VIRGIL My brother's inside.


There are two of them.


Flareon, deploy!


[DETERMINED] Flamethrower!


[DETERMINED]


[SURPRISED]


Helping Hand.


[ATTACK]


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


Helping Hand should make that Flamethrower a lot stronger.


Now, we've got a fight.


[DETERMINED]


[ATTACK]


That was Protect. Good job, Eevee.


- 'Virgil!' - Huh?


[all screaming]


VIRGIL There's more?


Now, there are five. If that's the deal.


Quick, Team Eevee, all units deploy!


[DETERMINED]


[ANGRY]


Get those Cryogonal out of here.


[ATTACK]



[LIGHT SCREEN MOVE]


That's Light Screen.


[ATTACK]


[PAINED]/[DETERMINED]


[Iris and Ash gasp] [SHOCKED]


[DIG MOVE]


[elevator dings]


This must be where he heard the noises.


[STARTLED]


What's wrong?


'Stoutland?'


[PANICKED]


It's a Cryogonal.


It's trapped behind all those pipes and can't get out.


'Darmanitan, deploy.'


[PROUD]


Use Superpower to free Cryogonal, now!


[DETERMINED]


[SUPERPOWER MOVE]


[RELIEVED]


[SHOCKED]


Huh? Eevee.


[HAPPY]


[ANGRY]


VIRGIL We'll scatter the Cryogonal


with a combined attack.


Then all of you can escape through the opening.


- But-- - It's okay, just do it.


Now. Team Eevee, give it all you've got!


- 'Virgil, wait.' - Huh?


VIRGIL/ASH/IRIS/CILAN Huh?


Davy. How did you and Eevee get out here?


Eevee dug a tunnel to where we were and rescued us.


[PROUD]


[DETERMINED]


Wait. Look, Cryogonal, your friends are all here.


[EAGER]


[SHOCKED]/[RELIEVED]


VIRGIL 'What happened?'


When we got down to the basement


we discovered that Cryogonal


got trapped behind some pipes somehow


and couldn't get out.


VIRGIL The other five Cryogonal


'must have thought it was being held hostage.'


So they were attacking because they were simply


trying to save their friend.


[RELIEVED]


Sorry about that, Cryogonal.


VIRGIL 'Next time you're in trouble'


you can count on us to help out.


[GRATEFUL]


Excellent job, Virgil.


You're a real squad member now.


Thought I already was one.


Better late than never. [laughing]


DAVY You crack me up.


And thanks for having faith in me.


Wow, Virgil, awesome.


Thanks. And thanks for all your help. You were great.


Come on.


[HAPPY]


That's right. I need to thank you too.


You used Helping Hand, Protect, and Dig. Thank you.


You actually saved us all.


'And that means you're fine just the way you are.'


[HAPPY]


Now, Team Eevee's all ready to go.


And you're a member of the squad.


'Congratulations, Eevee.'


[THRILLED]


All that's left is to return the lake to normal


and once we do, we're done.


Right.


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


VIRGIL 'Really? Ash,


you're going to compete in the Unova League?'


Yup. That's why we're on our way to Vertress City.


Wonderful. Then I'm certain we'll cross paths again.


Huh?


What are you talking about?


It's simple.


Virgil's competing as well.


Huh?


I just completed my journey


going around and challenging Gyms to help me


prepare for my rescue work.


And entering the Unova League is the last step.


[chuckles] I can see it now.


A super rivalry between you and Virgil.


Yes, indeed.


A battle between the two of you


would be just about as zesty as it gets.


Of course, what fun would battling be


without a generous dash of spice?


Well, I'm really psyched now.


And I promise if we battle, I'm not holding back.


[DETERMINED]


I won't either. [EXCITED]


Great. See you there.



- Yeah. See you soon. - Bye.


NARRATOR Not only have our heroes helped


the Pokémon Rescue Squad


Ash and Virgil are both entering the Unova League.


As Vertress City gets closer and closer with every step


so do the Unova League battle challenges and excitement


as the journey continues.
