16x34 - The Path That Leads to Goodbye!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR During a Decolore Island


stopover en route to the Kanto region,


our heroes are exploring Capacia Island


when suddenly..


Alright, what do you mean by that?


You heard me, right?


You're such a little kid, Ash Ketchum!


'Well, what about yourself, Iris?'


Always getting angry for no reason.


Oh, I've got a reason. I'm sick of traveling with you!


- We are through! - Yeah?


That's fine with me!


[SAD] Let's go, Axew!


PIKACHU [WORRIED]


♪ It's the next chapter the ultimate goal ♪


♪ Ready for battle brave and bold ♪


♪ I know we're gonna make it


♪ We will find a way


♪ Oh oh


♪ We've come so far


♪ We fought so hard to get where we are ♪


♪ Oh oh ♪ We belong together


♪ It's always you and me


♪ Pokémon ♪


ASH The Path That Leads To Goodbye!


Hmm! [SAD]


[GLOOMY]


I'm afraid when those two have their minds set on something


they tend to get stuck.


[SAD]


CILAN Hmm.


[thinking] When we first set


foot upon Capacia Island


just a few hours ago


who would've thought things would've ended up like this?


This island, which is the largest


of the Decolore Islands


is a true nature lover's paradise.


As a result, there is an abundance


'of wild Pokémon living here.'


Wild Pokémon. Can't wait to see them all.


Yeah. Me too!


Then may I suggest you take the path


that leads across the island?


There's another ship on the other side.


And it's headed for the Kanto region as well.


Perfect!


PIKACHU/AXEW [EXCITED]/[HAPPY]


- Then it's settled, right? - Right!


I'm detecting the aroma of a delicious adventure.


This is great, Porter. Thanks a lot!


PIKACHU [GRATEFUL]


The pleasure's all mine.


Happy traveling.


CILAN So, completely unaware


of what awaited us we set off on our pathway walk toward the port


on the other side of Capacia Island.


Hm, I wonder if there's anything interesting going on?


CILAN/ASH Huh?


Hey, Iris, where are you going?


[laughing]


- Huh? - Iris?


Is everything alright?


These must be the most beautiful flowers


I've ever seen in my life.


Of course, flowers.


[EXASPERATED]


Hm, but there's no denying


that her surprising discovery is awfully nice.


There are lots of flowers I've never seen before.


[EXCITED]


Hm? Axew, what is it?


[EXCITED]


Beautiful! Are they for me?


[AFFIRMATIVE] That's so sweet! Thanks!


So, how do they look?


[ADMIRING] You're gonna get us lost


if you keep wandering off the path, you know.


How could we get lost? We're barely off the path.


Right, Axew?


[AGREEMENT]


[CURIOUS] Huh, what's up, Pikachu?


[ALERTING]


ASH Wonder what it is.


It might be some sort of wild Pokémon.


IRIS A Pokémon?


[gasping] [SHUFFLING]


CILAN/IRIS/ASH Huh?


POKEDEX Dunsparce,


the Land Snake Pokémon.


Dunsparce uses its tail to dig its elaborate nest.


Dunsparce! Who knew we'd find one here?


What kind of Pokémon is it again?


- Not so loud! - Huh?


CILAN It's rare indeed


to actually see a Dunsparce


since they move around cautiously


hiding in shrubs and bushes.


IRIS So it's a super rare Pokémon.


Alright, I'm gonna battle that Dunsparce and catch it.



[READY]


Dunsparce, I challenge you to a battle!


PIKACHU/DUNSPARCE [AGREEMENT]/[ALARMED]


Pikachu, Thunderbolt, let's go!


[THUNDERBOLT MOVE] [SCREECH MOVE]


[PAINED]


- What's going on? - Dunsparce is using Screech!


[screaming]


[gasps]


We've gotta get Dunsparce to stop.


Pikachu, use Electro Ball!


[ELECTRO BALL MOVE]/[PAINED]


[EXERTION]


Dunsparce, wait!


I would guess the chances of finding


that Dunsparce again are slim to none.


Guess you're right.


- Hm. - Huh?


If Axew hadn't gotten in the way


I would've been able to catch that Dunsparce.


What? You're blaming Axew?


For your information, it was all your fault


for starting a battle without making a plan first.


That's because it would've gotten away by then.


Huh!


[SAD]


[gasps]


Uh-oh!


Uh!


[thinking] A petty disagreement can


gradually grow to the point


where it turns into a huge argument


which becomes difficult to reverse.


And I'm afraid that's exactly where those two were headed.


Look, Ash, it's too bad about Dunsparce


but what happened was simply an accident.


Yeah.


CILAN 'It's better to make up


quickly after a fight rather than drag it out.'


The longer you wait


the harder it'll be for either of you to apologize.


Yeah.


[CURIOUS]/[HAPPY]


[EXCITED] Huh? Now what, Pikachu?


PIKACHU [EXCITED] Huh, Berries! I know!


I can't believe how good these berries look.


Let's eat!


PIKACHU [EXCITED]


'Tastes great! Right, Pikachu?'


Hey, Cilan, want one?


Sure, that sounds great.


- Thanks! - Catch!


Mm, it's truly delectable.


Hey, Iris and Axew, catch!


[STARTLED]


Huh!


Just give 'em a try!


Oh, well, guess if he insists.


This one's for you.


[chuckles]


[coughing]


[STARTLED]


- Huh? - Iris?


So bitter.


[CONCERNED]


Yucky.


[chuckles]


There is no way that berry's bitter.


But that look on your face


is the funniest thing I've ever seen.


I mean it! It's really bitter!


I can't believe you.


You gave me a bad-tasting berry just to get back at me!


Oh, I wouldn't do that, I swear.


You're not just a little kid, Ash Ketchum


you're a big baby!


What did you throw that at me for?


You're a little kid!


No wait! You're a huge baby!


ASH 'I wouldn't talk if I were you.'


You lose your grip for no reason at all!


Bad berries are a good reason!


Now, let's all just calm down.


- Why don't you cut out of this? - Why don't you cut out of this?


[chuckles]


I've had just about all I can take traveling with you.


- I'm out of here! - Ah!


- That's fine with me! - Huh?


[SAD]


IRIS 'Let's go, Axew.'


[UPSET]


[thinking] And just like that


their petty disagreement grew and grew


and got way out of hand.


That stinks. Why would I get back at her?


- I'd never do that. - Mm-mm.


- Huh? - Iris' berry really is bitter.


No way.


Mm-mm!


[coughs]



Wow, that tastes terrible.


[CONCERNED]


Depending on where they grow on a tree


berries taste very different.


And you happened to give Iris a really bitter piece.


But how could I know it was gonna be so bitter?


Iris didn't have to bite my head off like that, you know.


[EXASPERATED]


Whatever.


She said that we're through.


That's that!


[CALLING]


Mm. Just perfect.


GROUP Who's that Pokémon?


GROUP It's Dunsparce!


[HAPPY]


Dig it, all you lugs out there may be wonderin'


why the three of us are hidin' out like this.


It all began a few hours ago.


- Did you hear that? - Clear as a bell.


The Twerps are to traipse down the path


that cuts through the island.


Then let's pay that path a little visit


and catch Pikachu.


- I'm with you. - Woo-hoo!


Now that you've got the back story


you can plainly see we're patiently poised


to pluck Pikachu, since that's what we do.


It's as if that path had the Twerps' names written on it.


♪ They'll be strolling down the path today ♪♪


Then we'll take Pikachu away.


[thinking] It's obvious the anger


between them is growing with each and every step.


But they can't get far enough apart from each other


no matter how hard they try. Why?


Because there's only one path they can take.


Look, will you stop following me already?


- We're through! - Yeah?


I'm not following you, alright?


You keep insisting on walking ahead of me, that's all!


- Say that again! - Yeah, make me.


AXEW/PIKACHU [WORRIED]


Fine, I'll just make sure you can't follow me.


Hm. Hmph!


[EXASPERATED]


This looks like a good place to make camp.


Yeah, sure does.


Check out the great view from here.


'I think I'll start making dinner.'


Good idea. Alright.


'Come on out, everybody.'


[APPEARING]


SCRAGGY [EXCITED]/[EMBARRASSED]


[HAPPY]


[SCARED]


Everyone else come out too!


[APPEARING]


[HAPPY]


[EXCITED] [HAPPY]


[EXCITED]


[HAPPY]/[CURIOUS]


[CONFUSED]


[QUESTIONING]


Huh? What's up, Scraggy?


Huh, you okay?


You know that Scraggy and Axew have been good friends.


So Scraggy probably wants to know


why Iris and Axew aren't around.


Uh, well, Iris is gonna travel


on her own from now on


so Axew's gonna go with her.


[SAD]


Come on. What do you want me to do?


What's this? Something wrong?


SNIVY/OSHAWOTT [CONFUSED]/[WORRIED]


There's no reason to be worried.


SNIVY [CURIOUS] There's only one path


and we're all headed to the same place.


Not only that, I'm certain Iris isn't that far ahead of us.


[AGREEMENT]


Call it Connoisseur's intuition.


[AGREEMENT]


So, come on, you guys!


Look at all this food! Dig in.


[EXCITED]


Huh?


Oops! I set an extra place.


[chuckles]


This berry is so good.


It's gotta be the best berry I've ever had.


It's as good as Ash's was awful.


[SAD]


The truth is I'm better at finding berries


and Ash doesn't know what he's doing.


He can't tell when a berry's sweet and when it's bitter.


I mean..


[CURIOUS] Huh? Never mind!


We're not friends anymore, so it doesn't matter one bit.


It's good, alright.


[SAD]



[GLOOMY]


Oh, it's raining.


ASH Hey, everybody!


Maybe you should go back inside your Poké Ball.


If I had to guess, I'd say they're all worried


that Iris and Axew got caught in the rain.


Huh?


[SAD]


[WORRIED]


[SAD]


Huh, what is it?


I'm gonna sleep up there.


Goodnight. Ugh!


[WORRIED] Don't worry.


I think Ash wants time to think, that's all.


Let's give him a little space.


[SAD]


Uh, I can't sleep.


[SAD]


I'm sorry, Axew. Did I wake you up?


[CONCERNED]


Oh, I'm feeling just fine.


Wow, this is like when we first started traveling together.


You and I.


'As long as we're together, we'll be fine.'


[SAD]


Everything's gonna be great. Sleep well.


Night, Axew.


AXEW [SAD]


[birds chirping]


OSHAWOTT/PIGNITE/CHARIZARD [SNORING]


[snoring]


[SNOOZING]


[STARTLED]


[SAD]/[DETERMINED]


[CURIOUS]


[DETERMINED]


PIKACHU [CURIOUS]


SCRAGGY [DETERMINED]


PIKACHU [DETERMINED]


[EXERTION]


[EXPLAINING]


[UNDERSTANDING]


PIKACHU [DETERMINED]


[THINKING]


[SNORING]


SNIVY [SIGHING]


They went to get Iris and Axew, right?


[AGREEMENT]


MEOWTH Waiting's not easy.


But it'll all be worth it.


Patience pays off with a prize Pikachu!


Heads up! They're here.


Huh, took them long enough.


Chips off the old Twerp.


Hm. Huh?


- What, Snivy? - Good morning, Ash!


[GREETING]


Yeah, morning.


Huh? Where's Pikachu and Scraggy?


[EXERTION]


Huh?


Are they out looking for Iris?


[PROUD] I think so.


It appears they left early this morning


before she got too far ahead of us.


Pikachu. Scraggy.


SNIVY [ENCOURAGING]


Hey, Snivy, what are you doing?


[STRUGGLING] [grunts]


Oshawott? [STRUGGLING]


[STRUGGLING]


[screams]


- What was that for? - That's easy.


Would you leave your Pokémon simply


because you got in a fight with them


or because they made a mistake?


I'd never do that!


Leaving a friend's the dumbest thing I could do!


Alright then! So why would you do the same to Iris?


After all, she's a good friend too, isn't she?


Oh..


Hm, of course you're right.


Iris is a really good friend.


Now what do I do?


It takes courage to apologize after a fight.


But we'll all be there cheering you on.


SNIVY/OSHAWOTT [AGREEMENT]/[ENCOURAGING]


[AGREEMENT]


You will?


Okay.


I'm gonna find Iris right now. Then, I'll tell her I'm sorry!


OSHAWOTT/SNIVY [PLEASED]


[CURIOUS]


[STARTLED]


MEOWTH We've been waitin' for you.


[STARTLED]


Prepare for trouble. Pikachu, indeed.


And make it double, you're what we need.


To protect the world from devastation.



To unite the people within our nation.


To denounce the evils of truth and love.


To extend our reach to the stars above.


It's Jessie!


And it's James!


Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light.


Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight and fight.


Meowth, that's right!


[ANGRY]


Save your boorish breath! You lose.


PIKACHU/SCRAGGY [ATTACK]


So close! But no luck!


[PANICKING]


- And he nets! - Yeah.


That's as good as it gets!


- No, Pikachu! Scraggy! - You three!


We were on time, but you're late.


Now, Charizard, I choose--


Save it for another show!


- Aah! - Aah!


[grunting]


This calls for a quick getaway.


We'll be taking our catch with us.


Ta-ta!


Come back here, now!


♪ Na na-na na na ♪


[laughing] [PANICKING]


And with the mark of true genius


Team Rocket shows once again


who's got the brains and who doesn't.


Who are you talking to, Meowth?


Eh, just some friends of mine.


Well, cut the quacking and let's get cracking.


ASH Pikachu! Scraggy!


[PANICKING]


IRIS 'Axew, Dragon Rage!'


AXEW [DRAGON RAGE MOVE]


- Somebody's mad. - Ugh, me!


[ANGRY]


[PANICKING]


- Ah, it's Iris! - Ah!


[gasping]


Ash, it's your turn! [EXCITED]


Alright. Pikachu, use Thunderbolt now!


[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]


What happened to our mark of genius?


The one without brains is Meowth!


And while our plans go south..


JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH We're blasting off again!


Hm. Hm?


Hm? Hm..


- Remember what we talked about. - Yeah, I remember.


- Hey, Iris, I'm so sorry. - Huh?


I'm sorry too. It was part my fault.


Forgive me!


[laughing]


That worked out.


[EXCITED]


[HAPPY]/[EMBARRASSED] [CURIOUS]


[EXERTION]


PIKACHU [OFFERING] Hmm?


ASH 'Pikachu?'


AXEW [OFFERING]


IRIS Axew!


Here, Iris. For you.


Here, Ash. For you.


- How's that? - Nice.


[chuckles]


- Wow, it's so sweet! - Of course!


From now on, leave all the berry picking to the experts.


[EXCITED]


- Okay. - Good choice!


[laughing]


We're back where we started.


Although I'm sure their friendship


has grown even stronger now.


[AGREEMENT]


NARRATOR And so, after our heroes


renew the bond that makes them our heroes


their journey to the Kanto region continues!
