25x21 - The Homecoming Crown!

[bunniefuu]

[gentle music]

[Ash] The Crown Tundra?

[Cerise] The Crown Tundra is in the Galar region…

It's a mountainous area that is extremely cold.

-Wow. -Wow.

[Chloe] It's pretty.

-Pi-ka? -Grookey.

[Cerise] We've received an eyewitness report of an unusual Pokémon there.

-Unusual Pokémon? -What is it?

[giggles]

Here's the thing. it mentions nothing of appearance.

So I figure the best way for you to get up to speed

is to hear the eyewitness's story.

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!

-Pi-ka! -Grookey… key, key!

Eevee… vee!

Uh…

Come along with us, Chloe!

-That'll be great! -Eevee… vee.

[soft chuckle] Sure!

Bye, Professor.

-See you soon! -See you soon!

Take care now!

[narrator] And with that, Ash, Goh, and Chloe set off to a place

they've never been before.

Meanwhile…

[quirky music]

[piano plays]

Ash's friend from the Alola region, Lillie,

along with her mother and brother,

are searching for their missing father, Mohn.

[piano playing continues]

Take care of Lillie.

Protect my princess.

She's my precious little lady, after all.

[Lillie] Father…

Snowy?

The direction the light's pointing in.

-Is it… -The Crown Tundra!

It fits with all the data we've accumulated so far!

Do you think it's where Father is?

[gentle music]

-[Ash and Goh] "The Homecoming…" -[Chloe] "Crown!"

[Goh] That unusual Pokémon you saw.

Would you mind telling us what it looked like?

Hmm.

I only saw it for a second.

It wasn't clear and it disappeared immediately.

What about color? Were you able to make that out?

Its color! Of course!

-The color was white! -So it was a white Pokémon.

-Or maybe it was… -[Ash] Maybe?

-It was yellow! -[Goh] Yellow?

-Or maybe it was… -[Goh] Maybe…

-It had to be both! -[Chloe] Both?

[all] Or maybe it wasn't.

I saw it in the middle of a snowstorm, after all.

Ooh. Like this one today.

-[all] Huh? -Pi-ka?

[all gasp]

-[Goh] When did that start? -[Chloe] It's a whiteout!

-[Ash] Can't see a thing! -[old man] Exactly!

If it had been anyone other than me in that storm,

they wouldn't have seen the Pokémon you're looking for at all.

Don't think this'll let up anytime soon.

So, you three, why not stay for the night?

[all laugh]

-You don't mind? -Oh. Not at all!

[all] Thank you so, so much!

[grunts]

It was clear a few minutes ago!

Ugh.

Are you kids all right back there?

-Yeah! -Yes!

[yells]

Of course! Ice types are strong in this weather.

[Magearna trills]

[grunts]

Magearna?

I'm coming!

Zoroark! Use Agility to chase them!

-[grunts] -[pants]

[grunts]

-[groans] -[Magearna squeals]

-Magea… -Zoroark.

[pants] Are you all right, Magearna?

-Zoroark, thanks so much! -[grunts]

[Lusamine] We should make camp for the night.

[Gladion] You mean in the middle of a blizzard?

With this newly developed product from the Aether Foundation.

[grunts]

[snoring]

[Ash] I hope it clears up tomorrow.

And if it does, we'll look for the Pokémon the old man saw.

Oh, we won't just find it.

We'll catch it!

For sure!

Yeah, I figured you'd say that.

[all laugh]

[snoring]

Does that mean Father's right over there?

-[grunts] -[pants]

-[gasps] -Lillie, wait!

[panting]

[Lillie] Excuse me!

Maybe no one's home.

[door opens]

Huh.

Huh.

[gasps]

[gasping]

Father, it's you!

Uh…

It's me?

Who are you?

[gasps]

My name's Lillie.

I know I was a baby the last time you saw me, Father,

so you may not recognize me but…

But I'm your daughter!

[Lusamine and Gladion pant]

-[gasps] -Father!

[grunting]

Aw, there, there…

Is this your Pokémon?

Huh?

It's Zoroark, Father!

Zoroark?

[grunts]

It's your partner, remember, Father?

Father? Me?

Come to think of it, you called me Father as well, didn't you?

But what exactly did you mean by that?

[gasps]

Oh, Mohn.

Oh… But how is it you know my name…

[gasps]

-[groaning] -[grunts]

I've been looking for my missing husband.

He's the father of these children as well,

we've been on a very long journey searching.

Missing husband?

[Lusamine] You see, we all were hoping to meet him again here

in the Crown Tundra.

Oh!

So that explains why your children mistook me for their father!

It makes sense.

-Oh. -You know what?

I have an idea.

Why don't you come in for a cup of tea?

I'm sure you're exhausted from your long journey.

Thank you for your kindness.

We'd appreciate a cup of tea.

Come right in, and consider my house your house.

[fire crackles]

Tell me, Mother, what do you think?

The fact that he doesn't know us only means one thing.

I'd say he's most likely lost his memory.

Memory?

[Mohn] Thank you for your patience.

It's hot, so be careful.

-There. -Thank you very much.

Here you go.

I hope you two enjoy these, too.

[piano plays]

I almost forgot. Let me introduce you to my daughter.

Your dau…

Your daughter?

It's really quite a coincidence.

My daughter's name is Lillie.

The same name as yours.

Oh, Lillie?

Hm. I'll call her in.

-Uh, um… -Huh?

Would you mind if I went with you?

But, Lillie…

Of course you can.

[piano plays]

[Mohn] Coming in.

[piano plays]

[all gasp]

Nihilego…

Get back now, both of you!

-Excuse me, Lillie. We have guests. -Huh?

Zoroark!

[groans]

Let's go!

-Wait! -[grunts]

Lillie? Where are you?

I'm so sorry. My daughter's extremely shy.

But I'm sure she'll show up soon enough.

I imagine your tea's cold by now.

I'll brew a fresh pot in no time.

Why did you stop me?

Nihilego.

Mohn thinks that it's his daughter.

What do you think he'd do if you suddenly attacked it?

[exhales deeply]

[sighs]

[Lusamine] There must be a reason for all of this.

We've got to figure that out first.

[Gladion] Let's search for some clues.

Hm.

I'll have a talk with Mohn.

If you find Nihilego, let me know right away.

Above all, take care of yourself!

-We will. -We will.

-Pi-ka. Pi-ka. -Grookey… key.

Ee… vee… vee.

Aren't we getting close?

It looks like the place where the old man saw the Pokémon.

I'm not sure.

Pi… Pi-ka. Pi-ka…

Grookey.

-Pi-ka! -Grookey!

Pi-ka! Pikachu!

-What's up, Pikachu? -Huh?

-Pi-ka. Pi-ka. -Eevee.

Pikachu's found something!

Yes!

[panting]

Huh?

[piano plays]

Lillie…

[groans]

[dramatic music]

A mirror?

The mirror's missing from this spot, too.

[gasps]

[grunts]

[ominous music]

A mirror.

Did Nihilego hide it in here?

[gasps]

[grunts]

[Ash] Iron Tail!

Pi-ka!

[yells]

Are you all right, Lillie? [pants]

It's Ash!

What's wrong?

[grunts] You're here?

Gladion?

What's going on?

I was just following Pikachu… when I saw Nihilego

about to attack Lillie…

-Pikachu! -Pikachu!

It's been so long!

[yells]

Isn't Lillie the girl who was off on a long journey

so that she could find her father?

Find her father?

That's right!

That's how we wound up at this place.

Please, Gladion, have a look at this.

[gasps]

My husband.

Your husband?

I'm sorry but I don't see the resemblance at all…

[Lusamine] Really?

Does he truly remember nothing of us?

Mohn!

-But even so… -Huh?

…it looks like a happy family.

I do hope that you'll be able to find your husband.

-Mohn… -Huh?

The one you say is your daughter.

The one you think is Lillie.

Mother! [grunts]

[both groan]

Lillie! What's going on?

[grunting]

[Lillie] Nihilego, wait!

Nihi… lego…

I'm grateful.

My father was in trouble and you saved him, didn't you?

But what do you… you mean…

-Pi-ka. -Lillie, Gladion…

We brought it.

[both chittering]

I found it in the room with the piano.

What is it?

It's just a guess but when you had the accident,

I think it sent you into a totally different dimension.

Accident? What are you talking about?

You see, you were researching Ultra Wormholes

when you had an accident.

Ultra…

Wormholes…

I'm not sure how but you came in contact with that Nihilego

and you came back to this dimension with it.

Not back to Alola where you came from, but here to the Crown Tundra.

And then you both started living together in this house, right?

As father and daughter.

Nihi…

[yelping]

[grunts]

Lego…

[mumbling]

[Mohn grunts]

Lillie…

[mumbling]

[grunting]

Nihi…

lego…

[yells]

Oh, my Lillie…

[soft grunt]

[groans]

Lillie, it's you.

[Gladion] I can't say why Nihilego wanted to take Lillie's form.

But I can assume that its life here is very happy.

I think that Nihilego was so afraid that you would see your own image

and then your memory would come back to you.

That it removed every single mirror and blacked out the windows.

If your memory came back

the Nihilego wouldn't be able to live with you anymore.

The way the clothes and mirror were put in the drawer so carefully.

Nihilego, I could see just how precious Father is to you.

I could sense it.

You could have just thrown them away.

-[Gladion] Father! -Huh?

Huh?

[screams]

[sighs]

[Nihilego mumbles]

[laughs]

[light music]

Yes. I remember it now.

All of it.

[all gasp]

-Gladion. -Father!

-Lillie. -Father!

Lusamine.

Oh, Mohn…

[sobs]

Welcome back, Mohn!

-Welcome back, Father! -I am back.

-Mage… -Zoroark.

[yells]

[mumbles]

You got Magearna to work again?

That's amazing!

Lillie did it.

You mean my little princess did?

Thanks to the research notes you left behind.

[mumbles]

Ni…

Lillie, please don't go.

[mumbles]

I'd like it if you stayed here.

Please, don't go.

If it weren't for what you did for me,

I never would have been reunited with my family.

It's up to you, of course, but I'd like it

if you lived with us from now on.

Mohn, that's a wonderful idea!

I think so, too!

Now there are two Lillies! Right?

Now we're home… all of us.

[all grunt]

[all laugh]

[narrator] And with that, Mohn, Lusamine, Gladion, and Lillie

came together once again as a family.

Moving forward,

toward a brand new future, as the journey continues.
