17x18 - Awakening the sleeping giant!

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Continuing their journey to Cyllage City,

where Ash's next Kalos gym battle will take place,

our heroes have just arrived in Camphrier Town.

So this is Camphrier Town!

The town map says it's a place

where you can taste the ages!

What does taste the ages mean?

It means the town has a wealth of history

with a lot of old buildings still standing.

[Snorlax] Snor!

[all] Oww!

So loud!My ears!

What a terrible noise!

Yeah.

Wonder what it is!Pika!

That's weird.

It stopped.What a relief...

Hi!

Excuse me, but what was that awful sound just now?

Uh...

Excuse me...Ah!

I'm sorry, just one second.

I was wondering if you knew

what that terrible noise was just now...

Oh.

That noise...

Follow me.

[Ash] "Awakening the Sleeping Giant!"

Look!

Over there!

Snor...

Snorlax!Pika, Pika!

Never seen one before!

[woman] Snorlax, the Sleeping Pokémon.

After eating its fill, Snorlax is too sleepy to move.

Small children sometimes play on its belly.

I'm certain that sound you heard was Snorlax's snoring.

But why is it sleeping right in the center of town?

This town and Snorlax have always had

a symbiotic relationship.

Symbiotic?

She means they help each other out!

Right!

Every year about this time,

Snorlax comes down from the mountaintop to eat up

all the crop roots that are left over

after we've finished our harvest.

[Serena]Wait.

Isn't that a bad thing?

Not at all!

In fact, as Snorlax digs up the roots,

it plows the fields,

which gives us a good harvest the next year.

[Ash] Wow...

Then, when Snorlax is almost finished eating,

we have a harvest festival

as a way of showing Snorlax our gratitude

for its help.

At the close of the festival, the Lord of Shabonneau Castle

plays the Poké Flute

while Snorlax finishes up the town's offerings,

and then it dances all the way back up

to its mountaintop home.

Does that mean the festival hasn't happened yet?

You see...Wake up!

C'mon, wake up!

We wanna see you dance, so please wake up, Snorlax!

The town is all ready for the festival to begin,

but the way things are

there's no way we'll be able to.

We have a big problem

that's keeping Snorlax from waking up!

What's the big problem?

The Lord of Shabonneau Castle,

who plays the flute to wake Snorlax,

flatly refuses to come to this year's festival!

Snor!

Ow! Stop!

It feels like my ears are gonna burst!

I'd say this is my cue to step in and help!

Which means, the future is now,

thanks to science!

I have the perfect device for this situation!

Clemontic Gear, on!

I invented it to help Bonnie get out of bed,

because she takes forever!

It's the "Bonnie Out of Bed-omatic!"

What?

That thing's gonna wake up Snorlax?

Indeed!

Cranking the volume as far as it will go...

Now make sure your ears are all covered!

And go!

Morning, ring, ring, ring!

Snor!

Ring, ring, ring!

Snor!

Ring, ring, ring...

Snor!

Stop!

Quiet, both of you!

Something's clearly wrong!

I don't think it worked.

But I'm sure that expl*si*n was loud enough

to wake Snorlax up!

I don't think so.

Just get up already!

What's going to happen if Snorlax doesn't wake up?

Nobody will get any sleep and we'll all be a wreck!

Maybe if Nurse Joy took Snorlax in at the Pokémon Center...

Maybe.

Perhaps we could ask Officer Jenny.

People are having a hard time,

but I feel bad for Snorlax, too.

We've gotta help Snorlax out

before it gets in more trouble.

I can't leave it like this.

Yeah!

It seems the only way it'll wake it up is

if the Lord of Shabonneau Castle

plays the Poké Flute...

So, why don't we just ask the Lord of Shabonneau Castle

to come help us out?

The townspeople have asked Lord Shabonneau several times,

but he always seems to have an excuse for why he can't.

Then I'll go to Shabonneau Castle myself!

You will?

He'll say yes!

If I tell him what's going on,

I'm sure he'll play the flute for Snorlax!

Yeah!Yeah!Ash's right!

Pika, Pikachu!

[Ash] Hello?

[Pikachu] Pika!

Hello there!

How can I help you young people

out on this fine afternoon?

We'd like to talk to Lord Shabonneau

for all the people who live down in Camphrier Town.

Well, you certainly have traveled a long way,

so please, come in!

♪♪

Presenting the master of this castle,

Lord Shabonneau.

Shabonneau, bonne, bonne!

So tell me, what brings you to my castle home?

We need your help!

Please play the flute at this year's harvest festival,

like you've always done!

That is not up for discussion!

Please, sir, come back!

Pika!

Snorlax is asleep in the center of town and won't wake up!

We need you to play the Poké Flute!

Oh, pretty please!

I would if I could, but no can do!

I'm allergic to the flute now!

So when I play, I then break out in hives!

Boo hoo...

So, if you can't play, then just lend us your flute!

I've also developed such an acute fear of flutes,

that just looking at it scared me,

so I'm afraid I threw it away!

Threw it away?

Lord Shabonneau,

I understand you're saying all of this to

protect your family name,

but I'm certain you'll regret lying to these children later,

so perhaps you should just tell the truth.

What to do?

Oh dear...

All right, here's the truth.

The Poké Flute was in my castle at one time.

Not now.

What happened to the flute?

Did somebody break it?

No, nothing like that!

That's good.

So what happened?

I'm afraid she just grabbed it.

Princess Allie from Parfum Palace

located in the next town visited my castle.

She exclaimed, "Oh ho ho!

This Poké Flute is so pretty!"

And took it home with her.

Wait.

So you just allowed the princess to take it?

You see, once Princess Allie makes up her mind,

it's impossible to get her to change it.

He's right...

[Clemont] And you're okay with that?

[Serena] It's a family heirloom, isn't it?

Sadly, it is.

Princess Allie's father's been kind to me,

so I couldn't put my foot down...

Well, you can count on me to get it back from her!

No doubt!

Then you'll be able to play it at the festival!

Splendid!

I'd be delighted to perform at the Harvest Festival!

Okay, let's go!

[all] Right!

[Shabonneau] Why don't we wait for them in Camphrier Town?

[butler] As you wish.

Did you get a load of that crazy scene?

It sounds to me like that Poké Flute

has control over Snorlax.

If that flute can control Snorlax,

then catching Pikachu will be a piece of cake!

Think of it!

We could build the Boss a bodacious,

bombastic band of Snorlax!

If we do that, Team Rocket will,

dare I say, rule the world!

And there's a promotion for us in there somewhere!

No time to waste!

[all] Let's make haste!

[Clemont] I'd say this hedge is part of Parfum Palace.

Bonnie, what are you doing?

I think we can sneak in right through here!

[Serena] What a giant garden!

[Bonnie] I wouldn't wanna mow the lawn...

Furfrou, Fur, Furfrou, Fur!

Who's that Pokémon?

You know it.

It's a Furfrou.

That's a Furfrou, too?

[Allie] Furfrou, stop at once!

Furfrou dear...

You shouldn't be playing with all this trash.

It'll give you a tummy ache.

Hey!

You calling us trash?

Uh, might you be Princess Allie?

Indeed, I am Princess Allie.

Parfum Palace is my home!

[all] So lovely!

Wow, you're a real princess?

Getting the flute back might not be so easy...

Please, Princess Allie!

Give us the Poké Flute back, all right?

Not going to happen....

But why not?Because!

My things are my things

and things that were given to me are

my things as well,

so the Poké Flute is one of my things

and it's all mine!

She's weird...She's awful and she's selfish, too!

The town won't be able to have the Harvest Festival

without the flute!

And Snorlax is snoring so loudly

that the townspeople can't get any sleep!

If so, they should just go to their seaside villas

and take a little nappy-poo.

At this rate, the townspeople are

gonna end up hating Snorlax!

I can't let that happen!

Pika, Pika!

Oh?

Pika?

Pika!

Would this Pikachu belong to you?

Yeah, my partner!

Every Pikachu has different size cheeks

than other Pikachu.

Yours has perfectly sized cheeks

and the roundness and redness are just right...

Splendid!Pika!

Pika, Pika...

Such a splendid and rare Pikachu

is unworthy of you, so I'll graciously accept it

and treasure it like an heirloom.

Pika?

No way!

Pikachu's my buddy and that's the end of that!

Bring them out.

Ma'am!

[Allie] What if I trade all of these treasures for Pikachu?

That's crazy!

You're out of your mind!

If I recall you want the Poké Flute, correct?

Yeah!

Will you give it back?

Let's have a battle.

Furfrou versus Pikachu.

I suggest that we bet the Poké Flute and Pikachu!

No way!

How could you do such an awful thing?

Ew!

We can forget it.

But I'm warning you that this is your

one and only chance to get your hands on that flute.

Oh, man...Pika...

Pika, Pi!

Pikachu, you'll go through with it?

Pi, Pikachu!

It's a deal!

You're on!

Excellent...

[all] "Who's that Pokémon?"

"It's Snorlax!"

Snorlax!

All right, if I win,

you're gonna return that Poké Flute!

Enough talk, let us begin!

Pikachu versus Furfrou in a one-on-one battle!

The battle will be over when either Pokémon

is unable to continue, agreed?

Okay!That's fine with me...

All right, battle begin!

Okay, Pikachu, use Quick Attack!

Pika!

This should be easy, Furfrou!

Furfrou, Furfrou!

Pi, Pi...

Pikachu...

Pika?

Look out! Behind you!

Pika!

Pikachu, Iron Tail, let's go!

Pika!

And now, Furfrou, use Bite!

Pika!

Pikachu, are you okay?

Pikachu!

Nice, but that's about as far as you'll get.

Let us scatter the rose's glorious bloom

with style and grace!

Furfrou, use Charge Beam!

Furfrou!

Pikachu, counter it, with Electro Ball!

Pika!

Pika, Pika, Pikachu, Pi!

Now use Thunderbolt!

Pikachu!

Furfrou!

No!

How dare you do that to my Furfrou?

Furfrou's got a new hairdo!

Great job, Pikachu!

Take Furfrou to the groomer right away!

As you wish, ma'am.

Furfrou!

Hold on!

What about our battle?

Princess Allie!

Are you forfeiting?

It can't be helped!

My Furfrou can't battle looking so atrocious!

So, that would mean a forfeit

and Pikachu's the winner!

All right! We did it, buddy!

Pikachu!

Now, it's time for you to give

Lord Shabonneau's Poké Flute back!

I will not return anything, since I lost.

Pika!

That wasn't the deal we made!

Pika, Pika!

If you were listening,

the only thing I said was we would be betting

the Poké Flute and Pikachu in our battle,

and nothing more!

After I beat you, I was going to give you the Poké flute,

but since you're the winner, I insist that you hand over

Pikachu to me this instant!

What kind of bet is that?

Really!It makes no sense!

Pika, Pika!

Well, I'm the princess of this palace

and that means I make all the rules!

Something wrong?

Your unscientific selfishness might be tolerated

at your palace, but not out in the real world!

We refuse your ridiculous demands!

Ash battled against you

even if it meant putting his precious partner

on the line!

Of course he trusted that you'd give up

the flute if he won!

If you insist on acting so selfishly,

I'm afraid you're not going to have any friends left!

I think you're being a little too harsh.

You didn't have to yell at her like that...

But somebody needed to tell her the truth!

It's all right.

You scolded me with much sincerity.

That means you must care about me a great deal, don't you?

I what?

I truly understand.

There's no need for words.

You don't understand...

I don't?

I suppose you can have the Poké Flute back.

Under one condition!

I'm not giving you Pikachu!

In exchange for the Poké Flute...

I insist that you leave this one with me.

You want me to stay?

Do you think so?

You can have my brother if you want him!

Bonnie, how could you tell her that?

All right, it's settled.

Ma'am.

Now!

Please give them the Poké Flute.

Here, it's yours.

You have your precious Poké Flute now.

Thank you!We gotta go.

Have a good time, big brother!

But, you guys...

After we wake up Snorlax, we'll come back.

Just hang in there for a while.

But, Ash, help me!

Don't worry, it'll be fine.

Uh...

Are you really sure about this?

Everything will be fine, Clemont!

Congratulations, Princess!

Take good care of my brother, 'kay?

Guys, please don't go!

Don't leave me!

Snorlax...

[Ash] Lord Shabonneau!

[Shabonneau] They're back!

It's true!

And with the Poké Flute!

We got it back, just like we promised!

Now, please play it!

Yes!

My flute!

What's going on?

Lord Shabonneau!Pika!

I should have known it was you!

Prepare for trouble, you don't know much!

And make it double, you're so out of touch!

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all people within our nation!

To denounce the evils of a Twerp with a flute!

We extend our reach, then the problem is moot!

Jessie!

And James!

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

Surrender now or prepare for a musical fight!

Meowth, that's right!

Wobbuffet!

Perfect-o...

The flute that controls Snorlax, controls the world!

Yeah, and that's the name of that tune!

I'm the only one who can play that flute!

We'll see about that.

We'll give it a test run and play a few riffs!

Oh, no!

Don't do it!

Your Highness doth protest too much, methinks.

Play us a tune, maestro!

See sharp or be flat!

♪♪My ears!

I think you need to take lessons.

For the next years!

Snorlax?

I tried to tell you nobody can play it but me...

Snor!

Pika!

Snorlax woke up!

And that awful noise put Snorlax in a bad mood!

Snorlax?

Snorlax!

You see that?

Hats off, folks, I'm a genius!

All right, Snorlax, obey me!

Snorlax!

Snorlax!

I blew it!

[all] We're blasting off again!

[Wobbuffet] Wobbuffet!

Lord Shabonneau, your flute!

Thanks, I'll play!

Snorlax?

Look, here comes Snorlax!

Wow!

Thanks for all your help again this year!

Yay! Snorlax go!

What a relief...

Snor!

Everything worked out just fine.

Isn't it great, buddy?

Pikachu!

[narrator] The Poké Flute has been returned to its rightful owners,

and the bond between Snorlax and the townspeople is even stronger

thanks to our heroes, Ash, Pikachu, Serena, and Bonnie...

Aren't we forgetting something?

Clemont!

[Clemont] Bonnie!

You guys!

[all] Clemont?

It was horrible...

What happened to all your clothes?

I can't look!

So how did you get out?

Ah...

It's all thanks to science!

[Allie] Clemont!

Clemont!

Everything is all prepared for the fireworks festival!

Clemont?

Are you listening?

Thank you for your concern.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way.

What is this?

Clemont tricked me!

And I refuse to be tricked!

Look, fireworks!

Beautiful!

As I was saying, the Poké Flute was returned to its royal,

rightful owner,

and the bond between Snorlax and the townspeople is intact

and stronger than ever, as the journey continues!
