20x07 - That's Why the Litten Is a Scamp!

[bunniefuu]

-See you later! Yeah!
-Pika!

-Huh?
-Pika?

[narrator] One morning, Ash met a Pokémon.

As Ash gazed at it, it gazed back at him.
And its name?

That is a Litten, Ash.

A Litten, huh? I think we've seen Litten
lots of times already, haven’t we?

Pika.

[Rotom Dex] Litten, the Fire Cat Pokémon.

A Fire type, Litten show few emotions
and prefer being alone.

It takes time to build any level of trust.

-Hi! What's up?
-[meows]

-Hey, maybe you’re hungry!
-Pika.

Hm. See? This is my lunch. Check it out!

Yay! Yummy! It's a croquette sandwich!

-Pikachu.
-Here you go. It's great!

Pika.

-[screeches]
-Oh! Oh!

[Ash grunts and Litten meows]

[Ash screams and grunts]

Argh!

Hold it! Ah!

-[Ash grunts]
-Pika.

Huh.

[meows]

[groans]

[meows in fear]

Ha!

[meows]

[hisses]

[meows and screeches]

[meows arrogantly]

[meows angrily]

[meows]

[aggressive meowing]

[whimpering meow]

[meows]

[meows aggressively]

[meows]

There you are, Pershie.

-Mommy didn’t know you went for a walk.
-[purrs]

Wow, so you finally met that Litten!

-Is it your friend?
-Pika?

[Bounsweet squeaks]

Litten comes up asking for food
like Bounsweet’s doing.

It's so cute! I love it when it does that!

-I fall for it every time!
-[squeaks]

-Pikachu.
-I don’t think it’s so cute!

Uh! That's how I lost
most of my croquette sandwich!

You mean Litten stole it?

-You got it.
-[chuckles]

-That sounds like our Litten, all right.
-Mm-hm.

Litten’s not the kind
who enjoys dealing with people.

It takes a long time
to warm up to Trainers, too.

They say it's not your average Pokémon.

So, it’s not too friendly at first.

That’s precisely what
I explained to you earlier!

Wow, you could say Litten's
the lone star of Pokémon, huh?

It always seems to be hanging around
at our restaurant.

I see it in the market, too. It steals
all kinds of berries from the stands.

Still, Litten's so incredibly cute,
I just can't get angry at it.

So, do you have a plan
to deal with Litten?

Someone should teach it!

-You don’t mess with a guy’s sandwich!
-Pikachu.

Wait. Teach it? What are talking about?

-Uh, I know just what to do.
-Pikachu.

-I'll catch it!!
-[all gasp]

Pika! Pika!

[Jessie]
Oh, the weather outside’s delightful.

We’re young and alive!

With it comes the chance
to rest and revive.

[Jessie] The return of Spring following
a Fall of toil and trouble.

A beautiful blooming flower living
the good life and making it double!

It’s Jessie.

[James] Without a worldly care,

basking in the know
while going with the flow,

like a breath of fresh air!

And it’s James.

[Meowth] The lights are on
‘cause this team member is home!

But it’s always a party wherever I roam,

with a charm that sparkles
while shining its light.

Meowth, that’s right! [chomps]

[all] Team Rocket’s kicking back,
cheerfully chilling without a fight!

Wobbu-wobbu!

-[all] Hmm?
-There was one piece left, wasn’t there?

-It’s a puzzlement.
-Huh?

-Huh?
-Un-paw that grub! [shrieks]

Litten!

[screams]

[all scream]

[meows]

[man] Hey!

-All we have left is to buy soap.
-Yeah, what kind?

Tub-and-tile, kitchen, window cleaner,
all refills.

-Huh?
-A Litten sighting!

-Hey, wait up!
-Pika.

-Ash, what's the problem?
-Allow me to explain.

-[pants] Hey, where'd it go?
-Pikachu.

-Want to buy some berries, dear?
-No thanks.

-We were looking for a Litten.
-Huh?

-Pika.
-There it is!

[both snarl]

-Now, you two, let’s play nice.
-Huh, you give it food?

In Alola, nature’s bounty is for sharing.
Now, dear, don’t eat it too fast.

I love to feed Litten!

[meows]

Does that Litten come here a lot?

All the time, a habit, every day.

Honestly, I think Litten enjoys
looking out for me.

That's why I have berries waiting
when it comes by for a visit.

So, let me guess.

I say, Litten made off
with some of your food, didn’t it?

It sure did!
My croquette sandwich specially made!

Ash, I can make you another one.

[chuckle] I haven’t
the slightest idea where Litten lives,

but it certainly is a dear.

[grunts and meows]

Stout. Stoutland.

[meows]

Stout-stout.

Stout. Stout. [grunts and munches]

-Stoutland.
-Litten.

-Stout.
-[meows]

Litten!

[meows]

Stoutland.

Stoutland!

Litten!

Stoutland.

Litten! Litten! Litten!

[sighs]

[puzzled meow]

-Stoutland.
-Litten.

[meows]

[meows]

-[gasps]
-Stout...

Komala!

[hums and yawns]

-See you!
-Pikachu.

-Pika.
-[Litten] Litten!

Huh?

[growling]

-Hey, it’s Litten!
-Pika!

-Rotom, who’s that Pokémon?
-It's a Persian.

[Ash] Persian?
It's not like any Persian I've seen.

Let me show you. I’m sure
you’re familiar with this Persian.

But an Alolan Persian looks different.

[Ash] Wow!
An Alolan Persian does look different!

The Alolan Persian is a Dark type,

so it can be cunning
with a bit of a mean streak.

But that means that it’s going to...

-Persian!
-[growls]

-Pika. Pika.
-[grunts] Don’t do it!!

[groaning and screeching]

This has got to stop! Knock it off!

For a single berry,
you’re being way too rough!

-Pika!
-[meows]

[meows]

Litten.

-Persian. Persian.
-I said knock it off!

-Pikachu.
-Pikachu, Electro Ball!

Pika! Pika! Pika! Pikachu!

-Persian!
-Pika!

-Thunderbolt, let’s go!
-Pikachu!

[screeches]

[meows in fear]

-[chuckles]
-Pika.

Hey, Litten, are you okay?

[Rotom Dex]
Litten has taken a lot of damage.

Don't push yourself so hard!

-Come on, please!
-Pika.

[pants and meows]

[groans]

I can help. I'll carry it.

-Ah! Ow!
-Pika.

-[meows]
-Litten, let's work together.

We’re going to the Pokémon Center!

-[meows angrily]
-Oh!

-Ah!
-[Ash groans]

Pika. Pika. Pika.

Pikachu.

Litten, come on.

[Litten groans]

-[Ash gasps]
-Pikachu.

[breathes heavily and meows]

-Pika.
-I understand.

-It’s yours, right?
-[meows]

Look! I'm not trying
to take it away from you.

-[grunts] Stop!
-[meows angrily]

But you need help!
I’m taking you to a Pokémon Center!

[groans] I'm not going to let go of you!

Rotom, grab Litten's berry!

-As you wish.
-[angry meowing]

-Stop!
-Pikapi...

Quit biting me! [groans] Ow!

[all] Who’s that Pokémon?

[all] It’s Persian!

[Persian meows] Persian!

-Nurse Joy, what is that thing?
-It's called a Heliolisk Collar.

I put it there to make sure Litten
doesn't lick its wounds.

-Wow.
-Heliolisk Collar... data input complete.

Yeah, looking good, Litten!

-Pika.
-[meows]

All right, you're next, Ash.

-Huh?
-Litten’s not the only one who got hurt.

You're right. Check out the scratches!

-[chuckles]
-[Ash] Whoa!

-[Nurse Joy gasps]
-Hey, stop!

Ash, try to make sure
Litten doesn't overdo it!

-Right!
-Pika. Pika. Pika. Pika.

-Coming through, Kiawe!
-[Pikachu pants]

-All that for a croquette sandwich?
-[growls]

Come on, Litten, stop!

-[grunts and groans]
-Pi. Pika.

Will you listen to me, please?
From now on, no running away!

Not doing what you’re told is
only hurting you.

[meows softly]

So, you brought that Litten here?

Well, it's just for tonight,
so, would it be too much to ask?

Litten looks in rough shape,
but so do you.

You mean these? No big deal. [chuckles]

[electronic buzz]

[bleeping and meowing]

-Pika.
-That collar's in the way.

I'll take it off!
But don't you dare lick those wounds!

-How’s that?
-Litten.

Good. I’m glad. Now, just keep still.

Look, I don't know what's been
going on with you, but...

I wish you could just trust us
a little bit more.

Hey, I think you’re awesome!
The lady at the market’s your friend.

And you've got other friends
cheering for you, too. [chuckles]

And your Ember att*ck, I really felt that!

Hm?

Asleep, huh? Good night, Litten.

[snores]

[snores softly]

Pika.

Litten.

[meows softly]

[both snore softly]

-Huh?
-Pika.

[Ash] Yeah, yeah.
I'll open it up in a second.

Pika.

-What did I do?
-Pika!

-Where’s Litten going?
-Data is incomplete!

Litten’s full recovery requires
lots of sleep

and the absence of stress and strain!

[pants softly]

Ha!

[pants] What's this?

[Rotom Dex]
Data incomplete. Data incomplete.

Stout... Stoutland.

[Litten meows and Stoutland grunts]

Stoutland.

[surprised meow]

-[hisses]
-Stout?

-A Stoutland.
-And getting on in years, I'd say.

I wonder if Litten's been stealing food
to bring to Stoutland.

-[meows angrily]
-Pika. Pika. Pika.

Guess your dinner’s a little late.
Sorry, Stoutland.

See, Litten got hurt in a fight,
so, we all went to my place to rest.

Litten, I was hoping I could catch you,
so, you’d be on my team,

but now that I see what you’re doing,
it was a bad plan.

We'd better head home.
Professor Kukui might get worried.

And the next time I come visit,
I'll bring some food for you.

I can visit, can't I, Litten?

-[hisses]
-Pika.

Stout...

-What’s going on?
-It appears there’s something approaching!

What is it? Huh?

Persian!

[growls]

[gasps] The Alolan Persian!

-Quick, let's get outside!
-[growls]

Pika.

-[grunts and gasps]
-Pika! [grunts]

Such persistence! There’s no doubt
Persian's here for revenge!

-[meows]
-Stoutland.

-Take it easy.
-[meows]

-Pikachu.
-Why don't you give it up?

[growling]

[Persian snarls]

-Okay, now, Thunderbolt!
-Pikachu!

[Persian snarls]

-Oh!
-[puzzled grunt]

-A few scratches aren’t going to hurt me!
-[Stoutland grunts]

-[angry meowing]
-Pika. Pikachu.

-[meows] Persian.
-Stout. Stoutland.

[meows and grunts]

[scared meow]

Persian! Persian!

-Yeah. All right!
-Pika!

-You chased it away!
-Litten.

-That was awesome, Litten!
-Litten. Li.

[groans]

-Litten.
-[chuckles]

Litten. [meows]

-Litten.
-[chuckles]

I detect a happy ending,
except for you not catching Litten.

See you later, Litten!
I'll come visit tomorrow!

And I'll bring you a whole bunch of food!

Pika!

Hey, Litten, Alola!

Litten?

-Huh?
-Pika?

Hey, Litten! Litten!

I see. So, that's what happened.

I feel like it’s my fault.

It must’ve been something bad that I did.

Pokémon are Pokémon
and people are people.

One being’s world isn’t exactly
the same as the other’s,

so, don’t go blaming yourself.

Litten’s living under
the same Alolan sky as you.

I’m sure Litten’s doing just fine.

Huh?

-Litten!
-[meows]

Pika.

-What do you know?
-What did I tell you?

-Dear Litten, I heard you moved!
-Litten.

[narrator] Litten and Ash,
where do they go from here?

-[meows]
-Hey, Litten!

Only the salty breeze blowing off
the Alola sea knows for sure... or not.

But one thing’s for sure,
our hero’s journey continues!
