01x25 - Rivals in the Dark of Night!

[bunniefuu]

After my pendant turned
into a Pokemon called Terapagos,

we met up with my grandma at an
ancient castle in the Galar Region.

It was so great to tell her
about all my adventures

and to hear about hers.

But then the Explorers
crashed our party.

Why? What do they want?

It would appear we've lost
Amethio's tracking signal.

If we ever really had it
in the first place.

I, for one, love a good
surprise attack.

I'm looking forward to this.

We're going to blow 'em away
before you can shout "surprise."

Ain't that right, little Glalie?

GROWLING: Glalie!
Oh, yeah, that's my Glalie!

I will be taking point on the
capture of the Pokemon in question,

but the two of you will be
standing by.

Seriously? That is totally lame!

It would be a poor strategy
to reveal our hidden aces

before the final draw.

So Coral is an ace, huh?
I can live with that!

This is where we will make our move,

an ancient castle in Breezy Hills.

That is the pendant Pokemon,
isn't it?

You will hand it over to me.

SQUEALING

What is it, Terapagos?

"Terapagos," is it?

TERAPAGOS SCREAMING

# When you lead with your heart

# It's so scary at the start

# But that's the hardest part

# And trust me, it gets better

# I finally know where I belong
Where I belong

# This is the way
that we grow strong

# I've got a feeling

# With you, I'm becoming me
I'm becoming me

# I'm becoming me. #

Huh?

A-a-arcanine!

It's Arcanine! Golduck, go!
Hit it with Water Pulse!

Ceruledge, use Psycho Cut!

Everyone all right?

Grandma! Oh!

Arcanine, use Flamethrower!

You need to run! Squawkabilly,
take 'em out through the tunnel.

Squawk!

Charizard, return!

What about you?
I just need to grab something.

I'll catch up.
FRIEDE: Come on, you two!

I don't think so!
Golduck, use Wat... Argh!

I don't remember inviting
you into my home.

ZIRC: The Explorers don't need
an invitation, lady.

We go wherever we want, you hear?

Did you say "Explorers"?

Well, now, that's a twist
I most certainly didn't see coming.

Ceruledge, get ready!

Arcanine!

That lady's intense.

Forget her. Huh?

We follow Terapagos.

TERAPAGOS WHIMPERS

It's going to be OK.

How are you, Hatenna?
Hatenna...

Thank goodness.

Hatenna, return.

All right, g*ng,
we got to ditch this place.

Right. OK.

Wargh!

Rhydon...

We might want to run. Uh-huh!

Ugh... Rhydon, Rhydon!

Squawk! Squa-Squawk!

How we doing? You OK to keep going?

Yeah! Good!

ZIRC: Amethio, sir! They're moving
through an underground passage,

heading in the direction of
that tower.

Come. Ceruledge, return.

I will take to the sky
and head them off.

The two of you pursue them
underground

so we hit them from both sides.

BOTH: Yes, sir!

Corviknight!

Cor!

Our destination is...

..the top of that tower!

FRIEDE: You two wait here.

I'm going to get in touch
with Murdock

and tell him to come get us.

OK!

Murdock, it's Friede!
Murdock! Can you hear me?

Did you think I would let you go?

Oh, hey! Hang on!
I'm trying to make a phone call.

Petulant!
Corviknight, use Hurricane!

Come on, pal,
I just need a few seconds!

Arg!

Hmph, fine.
Have it your way, Amethio.

But I'm not a fan of this arena.

What?!

You coming or not?

I thought you wanted a battle.

ROY: Friede is doing this for us.

Yeah, it's like he's acting
as a decoy.

Ceruledge, come!
Ceru...

Two-on-one, huh?

Corviknight, return.

This will be the battle.

Always so serious! I dig it.

You wait out here
and I'll be right back.

SQUAWKING: Diana!

Ah. I trust this means
you were successful

in escorting them
to the tower. Good!

That's that.

What's left?

Ceruledge, use Psycho Cut!

Ceruledge's Weak Armour
could make this dicey.

Charizard, use Air Slash!

Go, Ceruledge, charge in!

Don't let it get too close, pal -
use Flamethrower!

An evasive move?
Please, where's your spirit?

I'm disappointed, Friede.

Sorry, bud, but it'll take more than
a little power flex

to get me worked up.

Ceruledge, use Psycho Cut!

Now! Use Psycho Cut!

Charizard, use Dragon Claw!

Use Phantom Force!

Oh, no!

Taking advantage of the situation -

I got to hand that one to ya.

Spare me your idle prattle.

Let's wrap this up. Night Slash!

Now keep using Night Slash!

Charizard, dodge it!

Charizard!

RUMBLING OUTSIDE

We've got to hurry
and meet up with the others.

Huh?

I've been looking for you.

Hello, Diana.

You all right, buddy?

Char!

Now! Use Flamethrower!

Night Slash!

Charizard, no!

Didn't think we'd take
such a beating.

CHARIZARD GROANS

Build up your power, Ceruledge.

Finish them.

Use Psycho Cut!

Charizard!
It's time to go above and beyond!

ROARING

It's Terastallised
into a Dark type?!

All right, pal, go! Use Tera Blast!

Ceruledge...

Sorry, but the time had kinda come
to stop pulling our punches.

What was that awesome move?

Terastallised Charizard is...
incredible.

Tera!

Spri?

SPRIGATITO GROWLING

Huh? Oh, no, they're here.

ZIRC: I found 'em!

What do we do?

We book it! Huh? Hold on, Fuecoco!

You're kidding!
We're going that way?

Thought you could escape, huh?

Sprigatito? Mph!

Liko! Are you all right?

Uh...

I will be soon.

Thank goodness!
They're not following, huh?

ONIA: Just who do you think
would be following you?

ROY AND LIKO GASP

Please stop making this
so difficult.

Walked right into that. Come on!

Oh, no, you don't! Ha-ha!

Nowhere to run, kids.

Rhydon!

Now, be good and hand over that
Pokemon in your backpack.

Sprigatito...

Fuecoco...

Fue!

Golduck, go! Use Water Pulse!

Dodge it, Fuecoco!

Sprigatito, Leafage!

Rhydon! Use Rock Blast on 'em!

Here it comes, Fuecoco!

That's the way we do it!
Sprigatito, use Quick Attack!

Now use Leafage at full power!

Argh! Golduck!

That attack was super effective.
Rhydon, go for Sprigatito!

Look out!

Give 'em some Megahorn!

Fuecoco, use Stomping Tantrum!

Fueco-cooo!

Super effective again?

Good going, Fuecoco!

If it's going to be like that,

then, Rhydon, use Sandstorm... Huh?

LOW RUMBLING
Huh? What is that? Over there!

Isn't that...? That's Salt Cure!

Master Sidian's here.

Give it up, Hamber.

The pendant you're so desperately
seeking has been lost.

Is that so? See, I was informed that
it has awoken from its long slumber.

That's why we're here...

We're taking that Pokemon, Diana.

I assume by "we," you mean
the Explorers, is that right?

Did I not mention that?

ARCANINE GROWLS

Can't say I like the sound of it.

I was hoping you'd understand.

Well, I don't. Not one bit.

Why are you attacking us?
The Explorers were Lucius's allies.

The fact that you already
know that spares me

from having to explain further.

RUMBLING

Arcanine!

I ordered those two to stand by.

What am I going to do with them?

ROTOM PHONE BUZZES

Master Gibeon...

Arcanine, let's go!

SIDIAN: Let's route
the entire castle.

Hey, Glalie! Want to play a game?

Glalie!

AMETHIO: It's time
to return, Ceruledge.

What gives? It's freezing!

Tsk. Should have known...

Huh?

Charizard!

Go, Corviknight!

Cor!

What in the world
could have caused that?

ROY: The whole tower just...

What do you think's going on?

ONIA: I'm not getting
caught up in this.

ZIRC: You said it!

BOTH: Skarmory!

Skar!

Huh?

I think we need to get out of here.

What is that?!

Hey! Looks like I found ya!

That was totally easy.

Children, be good,
and stay right where you are.

Who is...? What is happening?

Huh? Who's the Pikachu?

Pikachu!

Glalie!

Garganacl!

It's Cap!
Yes! The Brave Olivine is here!

Pika-Pika!

Thanks for the save, Cap!

ROTOM PHONE RINGS

MURDOCK: Everyone all right?
Get back to the ship.

Murdock, hey!
Hey, kids, don't worry.

We're sending Metagross down.

META!

Thanks, Metagross!
Sprigatito, let's go.

Hop up, Fuecoco.

You're OK. Get to safety.

Oh, for pity's sake. They really
made a fine mess of this place.

But we're OK.

Arc!

MOLLIE: Garganacl and Glalie...

It looks like there's more of
these Explorers than we thought.

These jerks really aren't going
to leave us alone, are they?

I get it. So you're one of them.

Pika!

Ha! You're too small
to talk all big!

And you've made me seriously cranky.

Glalie, use Blizzard!

Glalie!

Garganacl, use Wide Guard, now.

Now take it down. Use Salt Cure.

Up here, Cap!

Pi-Pika!

Let's go - use Volt Tackle!

Pika!

Pika-Pika-Pika-Pika!

Pika-PIKA!

Huh? Uh?

Argh!

You are ruining my fun!

Glalie, let's make a bang.

Glal...

Don't you do it, Coral!

Cap!

Glalie...

..use Self-Destruct!

Gla-a-a-alie!

Friede! Cap!

We sure like cutting it close,
don't we? Pika!

Oh, thank goodness.

Everyone got out OK.

What about Grandma?

ARCANINE HOWLS

Amazing!

That's one cool lady.

Pika-Pika.

CORAL: Aw, they skedaddled.

At least we got a look at 'em
in action.

You went a little overboard.

Look, we had a pint-sized pest
problem and I tried to solve it.

Hey. Shouldn't our ride be here?

Ugh...

So, these are Lucius's
actual journals?

Mm-hm.

"Adventure is calling,
just waiting...

"Just waiting for you
to go out and find it.

"This world has so much beauty, joy,
and excitement to offer

"and you will discover this world
is filled with Pokemon.

"Your future awaits."

Lucius's adventures have become
the stuff of legend.

But you know what?

I happen to believe that they are
the stuff of history.

I believe that, too, Grandma.
I really do.

I'm so happy to hear you say that.

If that's what you believe, then you
must seek out the Six Heroes, Liko.

Seek out the Six Heroes?

Yes. The Black Rayquaza,

Arboliva,

Galarian Moltres,

Lapras,

Kleavor,

Entei.

Every new step gets more
fascinating.

This is the stuff adventures
are made of!

Pika-Pika!

Liko, find the Six Heroes!

Tera!

It would appear the wheels of fate
have once again begun to turn.

GIBEON: My wish, finally...
