13x15 - With the Easiest of Grace!

[bunniefuu]

DAWN: Wow! It's gigantic!

ASH: Great! How about a little training, buddy?

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

DAWN: Nice! This is just perfect. I wanted to train with

Togekiss, so here we go! PIPLUP: [HAPPY]

BROCK: These wide-open spaces are perfect to train with a

Flying-type Pokémon like Togekiss and just in time for

the Grand Festival!

ASH: Dawn, how about a battle?

PIKACHU: [EAGER] PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

NARRATOR: A sprawling field provides the perfect training

venue for our heroes on their way to the Grand Festival!

NARRATOR: Which also affords Dawn the chance to work with her

magnificent, newly acquired Togekiss!

It's about you It's about me

It's about hope It's about dreams

It's about friends that work together

To claim their destiny

It's about reaching for the skies

Pokemon!

Given the courage And willing to try

It's about never giving up So hold your head up

And we will carry on... Sinnoh League Victors

Pokemon!

DAWN: Okay Togekiss, go!

TOGEKISS: [APPEARING] / [GREETING]

PIPLUP: [AWED]

PIPLUP: [FRIENDLY]

TOGEKISS: [AMICABLE]

PIPLUP: [HAPPY]

DAWN: That's so sweet!

ASH: 'Kay, turn! Gible, I choose you!

GIBLE: [APPEARING]

ASH: I hope you're ready Gible,

'cause today we're gonna perfect draco Meteor!

GIBLE: [READY]

DAWN: Now let's work hard, Togekiss, since I want you to

look your best for the Grand Festival!

TOGEKISS: [PLEASED]

BROCK: This ought to be an amazing battle, don't you think?

PIPLUP: [AGREEING] PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

PIPLUP: [CHEERING]

JESSIE: That Togekiss is pure elegance times ten! I want it.

So get it for me!

JAMES: Sounds simple, but sounds can be deceiving.

JESSIE: Simple? You calling me simple?! Careful.

MEOWTH: Time out! I think it's a good idea to keep in mind that

the Twerpette gave you the ribbon that's getting you in

through the Grand Festival front door!

JAMES: True, true! The upshot is you actually lost your battle

against said Togekiss. You might even go so far as to say you're

in Togekiss' debt for experiential services rendered!

- JESSIE: All the more reason! - MEOWTH: For what?

JESSIE: The more reason to catch Togekiss since it's why I got my

ribbon! In an uncaring world, it speaks volumes on why we should

be together! Never fight the fickle finger of fate!

JAMES: Touché!

MEOWTH: That girl's mind runs on her own track!

JESSIE: So be dears and find me a stealing strategy.

JAMES: Dears? You mean us?

JESSIE: It's a stretch, but yes.

JESSIE: Just how does one catch

a cutie pie out in the broadest of daylight?

MEOWTH: That's yahoo speak for making us do the heavy lifting.

ASH: Now, Gible! Let's start with Rock Smash!

GIBLE: [ROCK SMASH MOVE]

DAWN: Togekiss, use Sky att*ck now!

TOGEKISS: [SINGING SWEETLY]

TOGEKISS: [SINGING SWEETLY]

DAWN: Whoa! What's with the sky dancing?

TOGEKISS: [SINGING SWEETLY]

BROCK: Hey Dawn, what's going on?

DAWN: If I knew, I'd tell you, believe me Brock!

TOGEKISS, GIBLE: [SKY att*ck MOVE]

TOGEKISS: [PLEASED]

GIBLE: [REELING]

GIBLE: [GRUNTING]

ASH: Hey Gible, are you all right?

GIBLE: [READY]

BROCK: That Sky att*ck was really powerful.

PIKACHU: [IMPRESSED] PIPLUP: [IMPRESSED]

TOGEKISS: [SINGING]

JESSIE: Ahhhh! It's the epitome of grace in flight! Gimme!

ASH: Gible! Dragon Pulse let's go!

GIBLE: [PREPARING] PIKACHU: [ANTICIPATION]

BROCK: Dragon Pulse is a powerful move, so be careful!

PIPLUP: [WARNING]

DAWN: I know, but this is my first time with a Flying-type

Pokémon! Uh, Togekiss, dodge it!

GIBLE: [DRAGON PULSE MOVE] TOGEKISS: [DODGING]

DAWN: Togekiss, did it!

TOGEKISS: [SINGING]

DAWN: Well, it was raised by Princess Salvia!

DAWN: This is no time for me to think about that!

GIBLE: [TIRED]

DAWN: Now's our chance!

DAWN: Togekiss, use Aura Sphere!

TOGEKISS: [SINGING SWEETLY]

DAWN: What're you doing?

TOGEKISS: [SHOWING OFF]

DAWN: Come on, Togekiss, hurry up, please!

ASH: All right Gible, while you've got the time, use Dig!

TOGEKISS: [READY]

DAWN: Hurry, Togekiss! You're so slow!

TOGEKISS: [AURA SPHERE MOVE]

GIBLE: [WORRIED]

DAWN: I guess we were too late!

GIBLE: [ROARING] GIBLE: [READY]

ASH: Yeah, Gible, great job!

TOGEKISS: [SINGING]

BROCK: With all that prancing around...

BROCK: ...Togekiss gave Gible the perfect chance to get away!

DAWN: What do I do?

TOGEKISS: [CAREFREE]

JAMES: Wow! A dodge with grace!

JESSIE: This is no time to start up a fan club!

JESSIE: Still waiting for a strategy from you, okay?

JAMES: Sorry!

MEOWTH: There's an idea ringing in my brain!

DAWN: Quick, Togekiss, use Air Slash!

TOGEKISS: [CAREFREE]

DAWN: Not again!

TOGEKISS: [AIR SLASH MOVE]

GIBLE: [YELP]

GIBLE: [GROANING]

ASH: Gible, are you okay?

GIBLE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Okay it's gonna have to be all or nothing!

Gible, Draco Meteor, go!

GIBLE: [DRACOR METEOR MOVE]

TOGEKISS: [CONFUSED]

PIPLUP: [PANICKING]

TOGEKISS: [NOTICING]

PIPLUP: [SCREAMING]

TOGEKISS: [DEFENSIVE]

TOGEKISS: [HAPPILY DEFLECTING]

BROCK: Whoa, what a smash!

PIKACHU: [AWED]

GIBLE: [YELP]

PIPLUP: [CONFUSED]

DAWN: Togekiss just protected Piplup!

PIPLUP: [CONFUSED]

TOGEKISS: [STERN]

GIBLE: [GROANING]

TOGEKISS: [REPRIMANDING] GIBLE: [CONFUSED]

JAMES: Do you get the gist of their jive?

MEOWTH: See, Togekiss is asking Gible if it's really Piplup's

palley or not!

MEOWTH: And, if so, what's with the bad big bang boom?

JAMES: Even in the face of anger, it's got style.

MEOWTH: Now it's a warning to never ever let it happen again!

JESSIE: Togekiss is not only graceful when airborne, but it's

also gracefully gifted with social skills as well! Highbrow,

like I am!

TOGEKISS: [SCOLDING]

PIKACHU: [INTERRUPTING] GIBLE, TOGEKISS: [LISTENING]

PIPLUP: [EXPLAINING] GIBLE, TOGEKISS: [LISTENING]

TOGEKISS: [PONDERING]

BROCK: That's all for this battle!

ASH: Guess you're right! We'll try Draco Meteor later, 'kay?

GIBLE: [DISAPPOINTED] TOGEKISS: [SIGH]

BROCK: Togekiss is carefree, but it's tough as well!

DAWN: Like a big sister, don't you think?

BROCK: Yeah!

ASH: Gible, that was great! You deserve a good rest!

GIBLE: [PLEASED]

ASH: You were something, Togekiss. Wow!

TOGEKISS: [PLEASED]

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

DAWN: Thank you for protecting Piplup, too!

PIPLUP: [GRATEFUL]

TOGEKISS: [GRACIOUS]

TOGEKISS: [CURIOUS]

TOGEKISS, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [MUNCHING]

ASH: Dawn, what's wrong?

TOGEKISS, PIPLUP: [FRIENDLY]

DAWN: I'm glad Togekiss helped Piplup, but...

DAWN: I'm thinking I really don't understand Togekiss all

that well.

ASH: You don't?

ASH: I'll tell you, Togekiss sure impressed me!

DAWN: I guess you're right, but... I'm still confused.

BROCK: I know what Dawn means.

BROCK: Togekiss did that loop right before the Sky att*ck.

BROCK: And took a long time before the Aura Sphere as well.

BROCK: It was like Togekiss was trying to look good before

launching all of those att*cks!

ASH: Yeah! Come to think of it, you're right!

DAWN: With all that beautiful flying, there's no doubt in my

mind that Togekiss will do really well in the first round

on the Performance Stage! But after that... who knows?

BROCK: With so much time between your command and Togekiss using

the move, it's not going to be easy to battle.

BROCK: But look at it another way.

BROCK: You and Togekiss are brand new to each other.

Once you're communicating better, I'm sure everything will

turn out just fine.

DAWN: Brock, I sure hope you're right.

ASH: Hey! You've got plenty of time to get this all squared

away! You just keep on with your training, and I'm sure it'll all

work itself out!

BROCK: Yeah, Ash is right!

DAWN: Okay!

JESSIE, JAMES , MEOWTH: Ta-daa!

MEOWTH: Whenever times get tough, time for simple stuff,

you dig?

JESSIE: And simply put, while the Twerps break for lunch,

we'll dig it!

JAMES: Shoveling our way to steal some success!

JESSIE, JAMES , MEOWTH: Yes!

MEOWTH: Almost there!

MEOWTH: Twerps totally targeted!

PIKACHU: [WISTFUL]

TOGEKISS: [CURIOUS]

PIPLUP: [CURIOUS]

TOGEKISS: [ASKING]

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

TOGEKISS: [HAPPY]

TOGEKISS, PIPLUP, PIKACHU: [GLEEFUL]

ASH: They're sure having a good time!

BROCK: Togekiss is really great at taking care of all

the little ones!

DAWN: Togekiss, time to come down soon, okay?

TOGEKISS, PIPLUP, PIKACHU: [NOTICING]

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [WORRIED]

DAWN: Piplup, are you all right?

PIPLUP: [WINCING]

PIPLUP: [GRATEFUL]

DAWN: Now! Time for more Training!

TOGEKISS: [AFFIRMATIVE]

TOGEKISS: [SWEET]

BROCK: That's it!

BROCK: Remember, Togekiss was raised by Princess Salvia.

BROCK: Which is why it's second nature to show off that grace!

In a battle situation, it may look like unnecessary movement,

but it's simply part of Togekiss's upbringing.

ASH: Wow. So that's why working with Togekiss has been such a

difficult thing for Dawn!

DAWN: Yeah, but we'll never be

able to win a battle in that case!

TOGEKISS: [PROUD]

DAWN: Now, Togekiss, please.

You know speed and timing are crucial in a battle, right?

TOGEKISS: [AFFIRMING]

ASH: Dawn, just train hard!

BROCK: No need to worry!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

PIPLUP: [REASSURING]

DAWN: You're right. Okay, let's try one more time!

TOGEKISS: [EXCITED]

JAMES: Second time's the charm!

MEOWTH: This dig for sure!

JESSIE: So drill, digger.

ASH: Man! What was that blast?

JESSIE: Blast? Don't use a loaded word like that!

JAMES , MEOWTH: Foul!

ASH, DAWN, BROCK: Team Rocket?

JESSIE: We just drilled ourselves Twerp-side, brainiac!

MEOWTH: How am I supposed to aim in that washout?

JAMES: Curses! No shovel means no shoveling!

JESSIE: Stop! Enough groveling! Time to rely on team tenacity!

ASH: What're you talking about?

JESSIE: We want the world and we want it now!

JAMES: Twerp interference we won't allow!

JESSIE: On the wind!

JAMES: Past the stars!

MEOWTH: Whiz bang pow!

JESSIE: Bringing chaos at a breakneck pace!

JAMES: Dashing hope, putting fear in its place!

JESSIE: A rose by any other name's just as sweet!

JAMES: When everything's worse, our work is complete!

- JESSIE: Jessie! - JAMES: And James!

MEOWTH: Meowth, that's a name!

JESSIE: Putting the do-gooders in their place!

Cause we are Team Rocket.

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: And we're in your face!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JESSIE: Look, Twerpette! I know you're at wit's end. So prepare

to have your Togekiss taken off of your witless hands!

DAWN: What did she say?

TOGEKISS: [BAFFLED]

ASH: Whatever you wantforget it!

JESSIE: Blathered like a true Twerp!

JESSIE: Seviper, enlighten them!

SEVIPER: [EMERGING]

Yanmega, after Togekiss!

YANMEGA: [APPEARING]

DAWN: Togekiss, no!

ASH: Why don't you leave this to

us, and you go and take care of Togekiss?

DAWN: It's a deal!

BROCK: Sudowoodo! Let's go!

SUDOWOODO: [APPEARING]

TOGEKISS: [LANDING EFFORT]

TOGEKISS: [LEAPING]

DAWN: That's it!

and I don't even wear pants!

ASH: Come back, you two!

MEOWTH: 'Kay. I guess it's time for Plan Z!

SEVIPER: [HISSING]

PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]

PIKACHU: [STARTLED]

PIPLUP: [STARTLED] ASH: Pikachu!

BROCK: Piplup!

JAMES: Well in hand, Meowth!

JESSIE: And those velvet gloves add a nice touch!

MEOWTH: It's like I always say:

"Be prepared for a last-minute get away!"

JAMES: Perhaps this should've been the plan since minute one!

JESSIE: Oh, lighten up and have fun!

JAMES: We're fresh out of plans again.

JESSIE: When we do our sky dancing, it's klutzy, but why?

MEOWTH: Being a klutz just might have something

to do with it.

WOBBUFFET: [EXASPERATED AFFIRMATIVE]

JESSIE, JAMES , MEOWTH: We're blasting off again!

TOGEKISS: [RELIEVED]

ASH: Awesome, Pikachu, you were great!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

DAWN: Piplup and Togekiss, you were wonderful, too!

PIPLUP: [PROUD]

TOGEKISS: [BOWING GRACEFULLY]

BROCK: That quick Air Slash Togekiss used while sky dancing

went in so many directions, Yanmega couldn't dodge it!

BROCK: So when did you figure all this out?

DAWN: I got it during the battle! Those extra graceful

movements Togekiss used were really meant for my eyes!

DAWN: Togekiss showed me how best to use

those graceful skills.

BROCK: So that's how it happened!

DAWN: Togekiss has a unique way of doing things.

But, I think the problem was I didn't realize that until now!

DAWN: So no need to worry!

ASH: You two make a great team for sure!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING] PIPLUP: [AGREEING]

BROCK: And the timing couldn't be better, since it's off to the

TOGEKISS: [EXCITED]

NARRATOR: The bond between Trainer and Pokémon is

all-important, as demonstrated by a happy Dawn and her

Togekiss! And the Grand Festival will prove timing is everything!
