20x23 - Getting the Band Back Together!

Post by bunniefuu »

-Pika.
-Awesome!

[barks]

Sounds like the excitement's building.

Oh boy! My first concert!

Just make sure you don’t go wandering off.

Been waiting long?

-Alola.
-Alola.

-[all gasp]
-What?! What's the deal?

The deal? Oh, this. It's just a wig.

Everyone wears one to a Dug-Leo concert.
It’s what you do!

Dug-Leo, huh? That’s who's playing here?

Yup! Dugtrio and DJ Leo.
Dug-Leo for short!

Are they wearing wigs?

-No, it’s all real.
-Mm?

[Rotom Dex] Dugtrio, Alola Form,

the Mole Pokémon,
a Ground and Steel type.

They are revered in Alola

as the reincarnation
of a planet guardian and its siblings.

Its golden hair provides protection.

-[gasps] That’s really its hair?
-Pika.

As natural as can be
and this is an Alolan Diglett.

Wow. It looks like it has three whiskers.

And Ash, look over here!
The one with the long hair is Jessica.

Ashley wears the bob cut
and Michael’s got the perm.

And that cool guy’s DJ Leo.

I get it! So everybody’s dressing up
to look like their favorite Dugtrio, then!

-You can see, Michael’s my fave rave.
-[all gasp]

-You’re a fan?
-[chuckles] You could put it that way.

Why don't you try a wig?

-I'll check it out.
-Pika.

-Me, too!
-Not even if you paid me.

[all] Aw, come on!

Please, Kiawe, join us!

That’s how you really get into it.
Right, guys?

Pretty please?

If my big brother won’t wear it,
then I won’t either.

You won’t? All right.

♪ I could get used to this heat
On my skin ♪

♪ I can feel every day
I'm a little bit stronger ♪

♪ I only wish each day was longer ♪

♪ Yeah! We're having fun in the sun ♪

♪ Week after week
It's just like I'm on vacation ♪

♪ Yeah! Now our journey's begun
Friends till the end ♪

♪ Number one's our destination ♪

♪ Under the Alolan sun
Pokémon! ♪

[all chuckle]

You guys are looking good.

[chuckles] Go on. Really?

-Togede.
-Steenee.

-Pika.
-Ruff. Ruff.

Rotom Dex, sorry for asking,
but what is that you’re wearing?

The perfect getup, of course.

Alola's best detective
would never make a wrong choice!

That has nothing to do with this concert.

[chuckles] Well, so what?
It’s all for fun!

[Rotom Dex] Exactly!
It was fun to choose my costume!

-Save your advice for those who need it.
-[Ash] What?

-You heard me.
-Diglett!

[Jessie] Step right up! You can’t have
a costume without a wig, can you?

[James]
We’ve got flashy wigs, panachey wigs!

More colors than a rainbow. Oh my!

Buy three and get one free!

Wobbu. Wobbu!

Hey, moneybags!

We’re supposed to sell this stuff
to make money and not to make friends!

Go and be generous some other time!

Giving out wigs is bad for our economy!

Of course, blonde wigs
are the only wigs that are gonna sell.

What are we doing
with multi-colored products?

You said we had to have enough
of a variety to be inclusive.

[all groan angrily]

Look! Time for the boom-booms!

[cheering]

Hey, hey, dudes and Dudettes!

-Alola, yo!
-[all] Alola!

Feel it! The planet guardians
express the love of Alola!

Feel the love!

Get ready to breathe it in
and breathe it out!

So, who’s your favorite rave?

[all] Dug-Leo!

-Who?
-[all] Dug-Leo!

-Once more!
-[all] Dug-Leo!

Right on! It's show time, baby cakes!

[upbeat dance music]

[cheering]

-[all squeal and sing]
-♪ Trio. Trio. Trio. Trio. Dugtrio ♪

-Diglett.
-[cheering]

♪ Trio. Trio. Trio. Trio. Trio. Dugtrio
Dugtrio. Dugtrio. Trio ♪

♪ Trio. Trio. Trio. Trio ♪

[Team Rocket] Wow.

That Dugtrio could be a big asset!

Right! Bringing us
an avalanche of paid bills,

with enough left over for big thrills
and no spills!

It’s giving me the chills!

[all] Yay!

[cheering]

That was the most fun ever, yo!

-Pikachu!
-Ruff. Ruff.

DJ Leo and Dugtrio
are totally the coolest ever!

-Aren't you glad we came?
-Togede!

My arm. Too much pumping!
I'm sure going to feel it tomorrow!

I've decided!
I'll be a DJ when I grow up!

-[all chuckle]
-Did you like it, Kiawe?

[Kiawe sobs]

Hey, what's the matter? [gasps]

I’ve never been so moved by anything
so beautiful in my entire life!

[all] Huh?

The way they celebrated
the natural beauty of Alola,

combined with its peoples’ hopes
and dreams was overwhelming,

as it all washed over my very being!

Yes. This wig shall be a treasure,
second only to my Z-Ring!

-Step it down a bit. Oh, My wig!
-[all gasp]

-[all] Huh?
-[gibbering]

-Hey, wait!
-Wig-napper!

-Come on, Rockruff, catch it!
-[barks]

-Dig. Dig. Dig. Dig. Dig!
-[barks]

Rockruff!

-Way to go, Rockruff!
-What a relief.

-[all] Huh?
-That’s a Diglett, isn’t it?

Pika.

Hey, why would that Diglett
want to take Rotom’s wig?

-Diglett.
-It went underground!

-Hey, yo!
-[all] Huh?

Bad news! This place is off limits
unless you’re with the band!

[all] You’re DJ Leo!

I apologize.
We kind of got here by mistake.

-Uh... wha... Hm?
-Huh?

You’re Kukui. Am I right?

You are. I am.

I knew it! Remember? I’m Leo!

[laughs]

Come on in and park it!

Any friends of Kukui's
are friends of mine!

-Trio.
-Pikachu.

Thanks for being so nice!

[gibbering gasp]

Wait, DJ Leo, so you and the professor
were schoolmates?

-Yes!
-So cool!

Wow, Leo!
You sure don’t look the same these days.

I had no idea it was you up onstage!

Hey, no one’s more surprised than I am!

That Dugtrio changed my whole life.

I was trying to make it singing
songs of gratitude to Alola.

But it wasn’t long before I found
I had strayed

from my original path to success,
to my dream.

The truth is I was lost
in every sense of the word!

-♪ Dugtrio. Dugtrio. Dugtrio ♪
-[gasps]

Those voices.

♪ Trio. Trio. Trio. Trio. Trio ♪

♪ Dugtrio-tri. Dugtrio. Dugtrio
Trio. Trio... ♪

Their beautiful song was like
Mother Nature

offering up her bounty just for me!

Then we became friends
and started making music together!

That's when it started. Yeah!

Dug-Leo and DJ Leo were born.

What a great story.

Diglett. Diglett. Dig. Dig.

Huh? [gasps]

-That’s the same Diglett!
-Dig. Dig. Diglett!

-Trio. Trio. Trio.

How cute! It looks like
Diglett just adores that Dugtrio!

Looks that way.

Dug. Dug. Dug. Dug. [groan]

-Diglett! Diglett! Diglett! Dig!
-All right.

Whatever Dugtrio wants,
then I'm okay with it, too!

-Okay with what?
-Their agreement.

Dugtrio just agreed
to be Diglett’s mentor.

Mentor?

Maybe that's why Diglett
wanted to wear that blonde wig.

That makes sense.

[Rotom Dex]
Currently expanding Rotom Dex functions!

I have now been upgraded
with voice sampling,

thanks to Mr. DJ Leo!

Dig. Diglett.

Now you fit right in with Dugtrio!

[Rotom Dex] But that’s my wig!

Relax! I'll just buy you another. [laughs]

In that case, wear it in good health!

-Diglett, that’s great!
-Pika. Pika.

-♪ Diglett. Dig. Diglett. Dig ♪
-♪ Dugtrio ♪

-[Kukui] Thanks for a great night, Leo.
-[Ash] It was tons of fun!

[Leo] You're welcome!
It was fun for me, too!

I’ll be counting down the minutes
and hours until your next concert!

Thanks. I'll be looking for you.

See you later, all four of you!

It’s Dugtrio!

[Dugtrio] Trio!

-Dug.
-Dug.

-Trio.
-Dugtrio.

-Trio.
-Trio.

[Meowth] It sounds like they're arguing
about who should do the lead vocals.

[James] A battle for the spotlight, eh?

That means a Dugtrio-catching we will go!

Come on.
Why don’t you make up already?

-Whoa, whoa!
-Trio. Trio. Trio.

-Hello, hello?
-[Leo] Huh?

-Hi-ho, what’s happening?
-Who are you?

We’re from
the In Your Dreams Talent Agency.

-I'm the manager.
-I’m the producer, babe.

I’m DJ Bling Charm. Yo!

I don’t understand why you’re here.
What do you want?

Puh-leeze. You must know the reason!

Why, it’s you! And your talent, too.

Look, babe, the bottom line is
we want to represent Dugtrio.

Represent? What are you talking about?
Dugtrio’s with me.

Not! Come and make the scene with us!

Forget the fuss! Number one!

The top of the charts!
Breakin’ some hearts!

Three for one, yo!

[all] Trio. Trio. Trio. Trio. Trio.

Dig. Dig. Dig. Dig. Diglett. Diglett!

[all] Dugtrio. Dugtrio. Dugtrio. Dugtrio.

-It's a deal. Makin’ it real!
-What?

[James] Don't worry your towheaded dome.
We'll make Dugtrio feel at home.

Hold the phone!

-We've got a concert booked for tomorrow!
-Have a good solo gig. Dig?

Dugtrio!

No way.

Diglett. Dig.

-[gasps] Dug-Leo broke up?
-It can't be!

At this hour,
there's no news on tonight's concert.

But with the sudden breakup of Dug-Leo,
all of Alola is absolutely grief stricken!

And that includes
this newscaster! The agony!

We now return you to our regularly
scheduled program.

Overnight? I wonder what happened!

So, Dugtrio just went off with people
from a talent agency last night?

It's all my fault.

I knew Michael, Jessica and Ashley
all wanted to sing lead

and that's why they all...

-That’s why... they left.
-Oh, Leo.

I just loved making music
on stage with them.

-If I could do it just once more...
-Dig. Diglett.

If that's what you want,
you’ve got to tell them!

But how? Where and when?

-Let's go find Dugtrio right now!
-Pikachu.

But, Ash, the only thing we have go on
is In Your Dreams Talent Agency.

I got it!

Get a whiff of this, from the Dugtrio.

-Now, go on and track ‘em down!
-Ruff! Ruff!

-Come on!
-Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

-Pika. Pika.
-Dig. Dig. Dig. Dig.

Wait for me!

-Ruff. Ruff.
-Um, it’s around here, huh?

-Ruff. Ruff. Ruff.
-[all gasp]

[Meowth raps]
♪ Bling time, bling time, yo, yo, yo ♪

♪ Time to polish my Charm
and sound the alarm ♪

♪ Dugtrio and I are gonna make
This baby fly high up in the hip hop sky ♪

♪ So plant me now and dig me later! ♪

Foodleyacky sacky, momma! Peace out!

[both] Represent! DJ Bling Charm rules!

Wobbu! Wobb!

Dug. Dug. Dug. Dug. Dugtrio.

Eh? What are you yapping about

claiming you’re not being treated
like an equal member, yo?

You’re all gonna be equal members
as DJ Bling Charm’s backup singers!

Trio! Trio. Trio. Trio. Trio. Trio.
[grunting]

-Save it for the stage.
-Dug. Dug. Dug.

Nope. You don’t get breaks
in this music factory.

You’ll support Meowth
with everything you’ve got!

And you can see all the money
that you won’t get any of!

-Knock it off!
-Trio.

-[Rockruff barks]
-Team Rocket!

So, you were behind all this stuff!

[Team Rocket] Keen grasp of the obvious.

-Trio. Trio. Trio.
-My Dugtrio!

Please let Dugtrio come back with me!

[all] When you learn how to sing!

Now for the best part,
we get Pikachu and you get zip zero!

Wobbu, Wobbu, Wobbuffet!

Now, Mareanie, use Sludge b*mb!

Marean!

-Okay, Rockruff, Bite!
-Ruff.

[yaps and howls]

Mimikyu, use Shadow Ball on Pikachu!

-[hisses]
-Pika!

-Pikachu, Iron Tail!
-Pika. Pika!

-Plant it right there!
-[all] Huh?

You realize we’ve lassoed us
some popular Pokémon partners here.

Word up!
And don’t you want them to be okay?

[gasping]

-Trio.
-Diglett.

How dare you pop the Charms off our plot?

Mimikyu, stifle them.

Mareanie! Join in the fun!

Mareanie!

-Diglett.
-Dug!

Dugtrio’s Ability, it’s Tangling Hair!

Trio!

-Leo, quick! Call Tri att*ck!
-Huh?

Dugtrio.

Hm.

All right, Dugtrio. Tri att*ck!

Dug. Dug. Dug. Dug. Dug. Dugtrio!

-Trio.
-Trio.

[screams]

[all yell]

-Awesome!
-Keep it up with Iron Head!

Dugtrio!

[all scream]

Last up! Let’s wrap this up
with Tri att*ck!

Dug. Dug. Dug. Dug. Dug...

Keep spinnin' and grinnin'!
Rock the house and demand respect!

Trio!

Trio!

Trio!

I think this dance is over!

[all scream]

[grunting and groaning]

[Team Rocket] We're off with a new blast.

Thank you, Ash.
Dugtrio and I are an item once again.

-Thank you, too!
-Dig. Dig.

-Trio.
-Diglett.

Jessica, Michael, Ashley,
will you sing with me again?

[all] Trio. Dug. Dug. Dug.

Well, all right!

Now, we'll be able to see Dug-Leo
in concert again!

-Pika. Pika.
-Ruff. Ruff.

But, Leo, that still leaves
the problem of who sings lead.

Ah! I’ve got a solution for that.

[upbeat dance music]

[cheering]

[DJ Leo] We hope you groove on tonight's
performance of Dug-Leo with Dugtrio,

Dig-lett and me!

Your humble servant, yours truly, DJ Leo!
From now on, call us Dig-Dug-Leo!

For our last encore, word up!
