17x25 - A battle by any other name!

[bunniefuu]

Here we are...

They're all ready, Fennekin!

Fenn!

[Serena] These are traditional Pokémon sweet treats.

They're called Poké Puffs!

Poké Puffs, huh?Pika!

Do you want one, Pikachu?

Pika, Pika!

There you go!

Fenn!

[Ash] People can eat 'em too, right?

Kin?Pika?

Ash, what's the matter?

They're great!

That's the yummiest thing I've ever eaten in my life!

Please don't scare me like that...

Dedenne, Dedenne!

Can Dedenne please have one?

Sure!

Slurp!

Slurp, Slurp...

Slurpuff!

What?

[Ash] "A Battle by any Other Name!"

[narrator] Following Ash's second Kalos gym battle win in Cyllage City,

our heroes are enjoying Serena's fresh baked Poké Puffs.

Now, they seem to have company!

Slurpuff...

Puff!

[Pokédex] Slurpuff, the Meringue Pokémon.

Slurpuff's keen sense of smell is especially sensitive:

much more than people's.

You see, Slurpuff thinks your Poké Puff tasted decent enough.

What does that mean?

Who are you?

I'm Miette.

And this is my partner, Slurpuff.

Slurpuff!

My name's Ash.

This is my partner, Pikachu!

Pikachu!

And I'm Serena.Fennekin!

Clemont's my name!

I'm Bonnie.Dedenne, Dedenne!

Since my Slurpuff ate some of your Poké Puffs,

how would you like to try some of the best?

Yes, please!

I want one!Pika, Pika!

I do, too!Dedenne!

Thank you, but I'll pass.

[Miette] Here you are.

Enjoy!

Pika!

[Miette] For Pikachu, a spicy Tamato Berry-topped Poké Puff...

and a sweet Oren-Berry-topped Poké Puff for Dedenne.

Pikachu...Dedenne...

Pikachu!

Dedenne!

I wanna try that!

Wait, but that's...

Hot!

That didn't taste good.

What was it?

That was for Fire-types!

Poké Puffs are made for Pokémon, so they're not all

going to taste good to people!

Like that one...

All Poké Puffs are baked with a particular Pokémon in mind...

Hey, I make them like that too!

'Course you can.

That's Poké Puff basics.

Poké Puff .

What's with the attitude?

Slurp, Slurpuff!

Calm down, you two!

There's no reason to be mad.

[Bonnie] Why not have a Bake-Off?

What was that, Bonnie?

There's a Poké Puff contest!

The first round's today, and the final round's tomorrow!

Great idea!Pika!

I've never heard of a Poké Puff contest...

That's the reason I came here in the first place.

I'm competing!

We'll see who the better chef is!

Now, the preliminary round of the Poké Puff contest

is about to get underway!

Contestants will compete using their own

original Poké Puff recipes!

I can hardly wait to see all the Poké Puffs!

Ta-da!

The Poké Puff base layers are finished baking!

They're so fluffy!

I could eat them just like they are!

Pika!

Now, the next step.

Two kinds of delicious frosting!

Fenn!

These frostings are my own original recipe,

and they're delicious!

The topping goes on last!

A great baker has to have an eye for design.

Fennekin!

Ta-da!

A Poké Puff topped with a small twig for Fennekin!

I'll wipe the floor with her!

All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're now halfway

through the preliminary round's allotted time,

and all our contestants are feverishly baking away!

I'm seeing quite an amazing array of Poké Puffs!

There's a lot of skill on display this year.

Of course, there's always an exception or two.

It's time to announce the contestants

who'll be moving on to our final round!

Joining us is Gena, world class Poké Puff pâtissier

and our Poké Puff contest head judge!

Hidden inside each Poké Puff is one thing:

the hope that it will bring the hearts of people

and Pokémon closer together than ever before.

An exquisite Poké Puff is certain to make the bond

between Trainer and Pokémon even stronger!

Gena? Excuse me!

I need you to take care of my brother!

Bonnie, I told you to stop this a million times!

[Bonnie] I hope you'll think about it, please?

[Clemont] Ignore her!

This is so embarrassing...

Take care of her brother, huh?

So, Ash, do you already have someone

to take care of you?

What are you talking about?

I'm going to announce the three contestants

who will move on to the final round.

Only three of them? Wow!

I'm so nervous for you!

Our first contestant is...

Miette!

No surprise...

[Gena] Next... the Berrybaker kids!

Big brother, we made it!Makuhita!

All right, let's win with our sticky rice Poké Puffs!

Maku-- Makuhita!

[Gena] Finally... Serena!

All right!Pika!

Fennekin!You're in!

Serena, that's wonderful!

Thank you.

But now, it really begins...

[Gena] Our finalists are to come up with a new,

original Poké Puff recipe by tomorrow's round.

They'll also need to start gathering up

the ingredients they'll be using.

That's it! On to the finals!

Knocked out of the race at the starting gate...

And now we won't even get to execute our brilliant plan

to catch every Pokémon we can find here

after garnering the grand prize...

Yeah, we blew it, but good.

To think I was the Queen--

The top Poké Puff chef for all of Team Rocket!

What's she talking about?

Beats the hat off of me!

When it came to Poké Puffs, I was undefeated!

The title of Poké Puff Queen will be mine forever!

Wobbuffet!

If I can't make my Poké Puffs, no one can!

[Serena] Do you have any berries left?

Sorry, I'm completely sold out.

Pansear.

What do I do?

I'm afraid you'll have to go to another shop.

How can I bake Poké Puffs

if I can't find the right ingredients?

Are they sold out, too?Slurpuff.

Every berry shop in town is out of berries!

Are you sure?

Uh!

I wonder if this is on purpose...

Is this your fault?

Why would I do such a thing?

Maybe the forest will have berries!

Dedenne, Dedenne!

Good idea!

Let's all go to the forest and look!Pika, Pika!

Yeah!

Let's go look!

I don't see any...Pika...

But how can that be?

This wasn't from natural causes.

Someone's sabotaging the contest.

Who would do such a bad thing?Dedenne, Dedenne!

I wonder...

I'll go see if I can find something!

Fen, Fen, Fennekin!

Serena!Pika!

Being frantic isn't going to help...

I guess-- you have any ideas, Miette?

My Slurpuff can help us figure this thing out!

If something sweet's in the air,

Slurpuff can find where it is.

So finding berries should be a piece of cake!

Slurpuff!

Will you do that for us?

Slurpuff, Slurpuff!

Slurpuff, Slurpuff!

It says there are berries this way!

Wow! Awesome!

Pika!

That was Serena!

[Serena] Help me!

Serena!

Swirlix... Swirlix...

Swirlix...

Come on!

What do you want?

Swirlix!

[all] "Who's that Pokémon?"

"It's Slurpuff!"

Slurpuff!

Please... stay away!

Swirlix! Swirlix!

Swirlix! Swirlix! Swirlix!

Fennekin, use Scratch, quick!

Fennekin!

Swirl!

Fennekin!

Oh, Fennekin!

Pika!

Serena!

Swirlix! Swirlix!

Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Pika!

Pikachu!

[Ash] You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

All right, who's that Pokémon?

[Pokedex] Swirlix, the Cotton Candy Pokémon.

Swirlix only eats sweets, making its fur

as sticky as cotton candy.

They're so cute!

Maybe, but now they're really mad!

Swirlix!

Swirl...

How dare you suddenly att*ck us like that?

Fennekin, use Flamethrower!

Kin!

Fennekin!

Swirl!

Swirlix! Swirlix!

Why'd they att*ck you?

It's your fault for letting your guard down!

I'm all sticky!

That's why there aren't any berries in the forest.

The Swirlix must've eaten them all!

Slurpuff, Slurpuff, Slurpuff.

That's not what Slurpuff thinks.

How would it know?

Slurpuff evolves from Swirlix,

so it knows their feelings exactly.

[Clemont] Then that must mean the Swirlix

were angry about something else...

Slurpuff, Slurpuff, Puff, Puff, Puff.

Puff, Puff!

It's telling us to follow!

Let's go!Pika!

Slurpuff!

It must have smelled something!

Pika, Pika, Pika...

Slurpuff.

Puff?

[Clemont] It's a dead end!

How are we gonna get over that?Dedenne?

Hey, I know!

We'll all be able to climb that cliff

if we work together as a team!

Clemont, ask Chespin to come out!

I understand!

Now, Chespin, let's go!

Chespin!

It's your turn!Right!

Slurpuff, help us out!

Slurpuff, Slurpuff!

[Ash] Okay, Chespin, use Vine Whip and lift us all up there!

Pin, Pin, Ches, Pin, Pin!

Pika?

Pika!

Pika, Pika!

All right, awesome job!

Thanks, Clemont!

Chespin, you're amazing!

Pin, Ches!

You were a big help.

Thanks, Chespin.

Oh, wow!

Look at that...

Lots of berry trees!

I can't believe how many there are!

[Bonnie] Millions!

Dedenne!

I'll make amazing Poké Puffs with these!

They're delicious!

Pika, Pikachu...

Already?

Slurpuff, Slurpuff, Slur.

What, Slurpuff?

Slur, Slurpuff!

Swirlix, Swirlix!

Swirl!

Oh no, not them again...

Something else is going on.

Swirl!

Swirlix, Swirlix!

Swirlix!

What's that?

Swirlix, Swirlix!

Swirlix, Swirlix!

[Ash] You!

Prepare for trouble, who else would it be?

And make it double, the same goes for me!

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all people within our nation!

To denounce the evils of bad cuisine!

To extend our reach to the big berry scene!

Jessie!

And James!

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

Surrender now, or prepare for a frantic food fight!

Meowth, that's right!

Wobbuffet!

Who's that?

Team Rocket!Pika!

We're taking over the berry business.

It's all ours, as far as the eye can see!

Which means your twerp-ish baking days are over!

And while we're at it, we'll grab all of your Pokémon

and leave you with a big windbag full of air!

Why you...Pika, Pika!

[Miette] Well it's no wonder we couldn't find any berries!

[Serena] Now I understand why the Swirlix were so angry!

Knowing the truth won't set you free!

Show them a thing or three!

Leave it to me!

Check out my Robo Baby Buggy Berry-Robbing Swipe the Sweets

and Make Our Own Treats Octillery Mark Three!

That's such a creative name...

You would think that.

Ouch.

On the Pokémon side of things,

we'll grab Pikachu first!

Pika!

Pikachu!

Pika!

Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Pikachu!

Sorry, this machine

is guaranteed Thunderbolt-resistant!

Now for the rest of the twerp's Pokémon.

Pi, Pika!

Pika!

Turn it up to ten!

No, Swirlix!

Swirlix! Swirlix! Swirl...

How sweet it is!

Swimming in a sea of success!

Yes!Oh, the shame...

Just kidding!Yup!

[all singing] ♪ We're just a-sailing along

♪ 'Cause we're strong!

Wobbuffet!

Pikachu... and Swirlix...

What can I do?

Hey, Clemont!

Does their machine have any weak spots?

Weak spot? Let's see...

[Bonnie] Hurry!

Okay.

First off, it's a giant vacuum!

It has to suck in air in order to function!

I've got it!

Seal their suction tube!

That will definitely stop the airflow!

Great idea! I'm going!

Stop the twerp in his tracks!

We're really cleaning up!

You can't stop me!

What are you, nuts?

Hang on!

I promise I'll get you guys out of there!

Ash, no!

Oh, wow, Ash is so brave...

Careful, Ash!

You can do it, Ash!

Swirl, Swirl! Swirlix!

Pika, Pika!

Now's your chance!

Get out of there!

Pika, Pika...

[Ash] Pikachu, Swirlix!

The engine overheated!

That stopped the machine!

We should att*ck now!

Fennekin, Flamethrower, go!

Fennekin!

This could be a little bit of a problem...

Little? We're going to explode!

Cut the small talk, and do something!

Switching to exhaust!

Pika!Swirl, Swirl...

Ow...

You okay, Pikachu?

Pikachu!

Swirlix, you okay?

Snap out of it!Pika, Pi!

Swirlix... Swirl, Swirlix!

That's great!

Swirlix, I need you to help me out by stopping that machine!

Swirlix!

Swirlix...

Swirlix!

Swirlix, Swirlix!

Leave us alone!

That's awesome!Hey, Slurpuff!

Why don't we help them out too?

Slurp, Slurpuff!

Fennekin, use Flamethrower!Pi, Pi, Pi, Pi...

Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Slurpuff, use Energy Ball!

Fennekin!

Pikachu!

Slurpuff!

I still bake the best!

We're all cooked.

Time to cool off...

[all] There's nothing sweet about blasting off.

Wobbuff.

[Jessie] And we're doing...

[James] It...

[Meowth] Again!

Wobbuffet!

Yeah!

All right!

[man] And now, we'll announce the winner

of our fabulous Poké Puff contest!

Presenting our head judge, Gena.

Take it away!

The Berrybaker kids incorporated exotic flavors

into their Poké Puff, creating a delicacy

that is comforting and innovative.

Using a Passho Berry for her Poké Puff topping,

Serena has created a delight with flavor

and a hint of heat!

Fire types are sure to love her Poké Puff!

And finally, Miette's Poké Puff is made

with cotton candy and whipped cream,

and topped with a Tamato Berry.

Both Electric-type and Fairy-type Pokémon

are certain to love this presentation!

And now, the winner is...

I'm happy to announce...

The Berrybaker kids win it!

Yes!

Berrybakers rule!

Makuhita!

I'm sorry Serena and Miette both lost...Dedenne.

There's always next time.

So where are you going from here?

I'm headed anywhere that helps me

make better Poké Puffs.

Next time I see you,

my Poké Puffs will be even tastier!

Mine, too!

Maybe this was all for the best.

Yeah.Pikachu!

Serena! Gotta go...

Take care!One thing.

Either you tell Ash how you feel about him,

or I'll tell him how I feel!

Don't say I didn't warn you...

[narrator] Poké Puffs make everyone happy,

not to mention bring together people

with a love for baking!

Now, our heroes are off to Shalour City once again,

as the journey continues!
