20x26 - So Long, Sophocles!

Post by bunniefuu »

♪♪

Ash's classmate,
Sophocles, is busy working in


Sophocles Lab, which
was built for him by his dad.


And, as usual,
he's up to something...


All right,
that's it! Run program, now!

See? I designed a
computer program that basically

allows me to use anyone's face
to change different expressions.

Allow me to demonstrate.

Angry face... Smiley face...

I think
it's time for a malasada break.

Dear me,
you still haven't packed?

Not yet!

I keep thinking
we still have a week.

We do, but
you should start packing now.

It will fly by in no time.

Hey,
wait a minute! We're moving?

That's right, dear.

I told you.
You weren't listening.

Wh-Where to?!

Farther than
I'd like... Quite a bit farther.

What do I do? What
do I do? That means I'll have to

say goodbye to my
friends at the Pokémon School.

I don't wanna move!
I don't want to!

That's it!

I'll just simulate
the conditions for living here

all by myself! Cleaning,
laundry, meals... It's no use!

I can't take care
of all that without some help!

And there's also a . % chance
my cooking will stink. A . %

chance I can't get up on time.
I can't do any of that!

What am I going to do?!

♪♪

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
we're on vacation


Yeah!

Now our journey's
begun, Friends 'til the end


Number one's
our destination


Under the Alolan sun

Pokémon!

♪♪

- Sophocles?
- Aah!

Are you awake?
Can we come in?

About the move...

You have
a week to pack up your things.

Okay? Now, goodnight.

It's way too dark
in this room and I'm really

scared! That's great,
Togedemaru. Thanks.

I don't want to
move away. I don't want to say

goodbye to everybody!

And it also means you
have to say goodbye to your

dear friend Pikachu.
Don't you see? It means goodbye!

Saying goodbye means
you won't see Pikachu anymore!

Like this!

♪♪

Yeah, now you
finally understand how I feel.

I'm gonna cry, too...

How am
I gonna tell everyone?

Alo-la!

Uh, hi, Aah.

Hey, you okay?
You look kind of down.

It's nothing. I'm fine.

Do you have a tummy ache?

Nope. No way.

Do you
know the Pokémon Ability called

Battery, by any chance?

Using that,

a Pokémon can increase
its teammates' power.

So this is going to

be my last few days
in this classroom...

Sophocles?

Sophocles!

I guess
you didn't hear my question...

Oh! Sorry...

It's unusual
for you to be distracted when

we're talking about
Electric-type Pokémon...

Yeah. Pretty weird.

Does Professor Kukui
not know that I'm moving?

Or does he know
and is acting normally anyway?

All right,
that's it. I know what to do.

I'll just keep it a
secret from everybody as well.

Today's P.E.
class will be a baton relay.

The rules are simple. First, the
Pokémon run, followed by their

Trainers. Got it?

Yes, sir!

Let's go!

Your start is important!

On your mark...

♪♪

Togedemaru's crying.

Sophocles,
is something wrong?

Uh, nothing. See,
it's like sometimes... it likes

Pi-kachu so much that it
can't control itself. Yup...

What's with the map?

I circled all
of the sweets shops that I

think are the best!

Ice cream, pancakes,
yummy chocolate and of course,

the best malasadas I can find!
They're still not that well

known, but I'm sure as soon as
word gets out, they're gonna be

packed, so you should
check them out right away.

Thanks, Sophocles.

My little
sister will be thrilled!

Why are
you giving us this?

Well, the thing is...
There's no point in keeping it

to myself.
I've gathered valuable data that

needs to be shared!

Thank you!
That's so nice!

Though kind of strange...

Normally, you'd
keep things like this a secret.

Yeah. She's right.

Well... I think I've
gotten over that. That's it.

Still strange.

Did something happen?

You can
always talk to us, you know.

Uh...
I'd better go home! Later!

Sophocles?

It's better this way.

If they find out,
it'll probably be awkward for

them. I'll act just like I
always do... all the way up until

the last day.
I can message them later.

Hold on. How
did you guys get ahead of me?

Come on.
Something happened, didn't it?

Uh, no, nothing happened.

Something's bothering you.

You can talk to us!

Don't be shy.

You can
always tell us the truth.

Ash is right.

Yeah... The truth is...

You're moving?!

Yeah...

When?!

Next week...

And where to?!

It's
really far away. I think.

See? I knew this
would happen. That's why I

didn't want to say anything.

Hey, I know! Let's just act
as if nothing's changed, okay?

All right! And on the
last day at my restaurant we can

all have a big dinner bash!

- Sounds wonderful!
- Yeah.

No sense being sappy!
We'll have a super-great time!

The best party that
any of us has ever had!

So how does that sound?

Great.
Thanks a lot, you guys.

Then everything's settled!

- Awesome!
- Sounds like fun.

Do you have
any plans now, Sophocles?

Plans? No...

Good. Come with me.

So cool! I've never

flown along
with a Charizard before!

Make sure
you hang on tight...

Okay!

Look at that! Wela Volcano!

That's right.
You can see the whole thing!

It's so amazingly big!

You haven't seen anything yet.

I don't know if
that place is for me, you know?

Just trust me on this one.

Here we are!
This is it. My secret spot!

Beautiful!!

I can't say just why, but
apparently the volcano makes the

water turn that color.

It's really pretty...

It makes me want to
analyze the

chemical composition.

Sophocles?

It's just...
Even if you move away...

Kiawe...

Thanks for that.

Sure.

Thanks, Kiawe!

See you tomorrow!

Yup!
See you! Um, So nice...

I want
to give Kiawe a present,

but I'm not sure what...

I wonder what Kiawe likes.

Sophocles?

May we come in?

Of course.

Oh. Oh dear.
You haven't packed a thing.

Maybe we
should leave his room like this.

Although he'll have
to commute here and back

from the new place.

What about where we move?

How do I deal with
that? Isn't it really far away?

Yeah...
That's what I said. Initially I

planned on renting the
house right next door to us.

But I ended

up having to rent
three whole houses down.

I tried. Sorry.

But, cheer
up! It will only be for a week

until we can
get the roof repaired.

"Who's that Pokémon?"

[font color=#FF FF]*Pokemon (DUBBED)*[/font]
[font color=# FF ]Season Episode [/font]

"It's Charizard!"

You lied!
You're not moving after all!

Stop! I didn't lie!

Yeah?
But it's only for one week!

And it's on the same block!

Yeah...

What's the point?

Worrying about you was silly!

I don't
like you, Sophocles.

Me, neither!

Me, neither!

Or me!

Hey, wait, everybody!

I had the
wrong idea about everything.

What am I gonna do now?!

- Hey, Sophocles?
- Yup.

Come on. Cheer up.

Remember how we all
decided we would stay upbeat?

Mallow's right.

Oh. Sure thing...

No. I've
got to tell them the truth!

Uh, guys?

Sophocles? Uh!

Yeah Lana...

Come with me.

Hey, Lapras!

Hop on.

Are you taking me fishing?

You'll find
out when we get there.

Wow. We're
really a long way from shore.

I know.
But it's a special place.

This is it?

Just wait.
An amazing

thing happens
right here on this spot.

Really?

Yup. If you're lucky...

I guess you are!

Uah!

All RIGHT! That Wailord's HUGE!

Wow.
That was so amazing!

Sophocles?

I hope you'll
remember... Alola's ocean.

Oh, Lana...

Something wrong?

It's nothing. Thanks.

How can I
tell them after all this?!

You've made
that noise about twenty times!

I wanna give Sophocles
a nice goodbye present,

but I don't know what to give!

I know!
Leave it to me!

Yeah?
What are you thinking about?

Sophocles' passion is
his programming. And his Pokémon

is Togedemaru. So what's
something that neither one of

them could do without?

Is this a test?

Uh... There's
programming... and something

they can't do without...
Thinking... Thinking...

Time's up!
The answer is electricity!

Yeah, you're right.

♪♪

Therefore...

They can't have Pikachu!

Of course not! I'm
thinking about an Electric-type

Pokémon whose skills are
well suited for both of them!

This is my last chance.

I've got to tell them today!

Now don't forget...

We're meeting
at Mallow's restaurant at dusk.

But I... I'll meet
you guys over there. Later!

Yeah, me, too!

Okay...

I'd better get moving too.

Me, too.
See you.

- Yeah.
- See you...

We've gotta
find it this afternoon,

so let's give it our best sh*t!

Give me a signal
when you locate it, please!

What are you going
to do, Sophocles? There's still

time. You tell Mallow, and
she'll tell everyone else...

Hi!
You're really early, Sophocles.

Yeah, but the thing
is, Mallow, you see... Hey!

Come in!

Since the
party is in your honor,

why not sit back and relax?

The... thing
is... THE THING IS...

Alola!

Alola!

Alola!

Wow, you guys
are early, too! Alola! Mimo!

I told her about the
party and she said she really

wanted to help out!

I'll do my best!

Sophocles...

You're already here!

Guess so...

I'll decorate the
room with these PRETTY flowers!

I'm way, way better
at this than my big brother!

Yeah...

Mallow, is there

anything I can
do to help you out?

Yeah, me too!

I'd love that! Thanks!
All right! Let's make a bunch of

delicious dishes for Sophocles!

- Yeah!
- Great!

Yay! Yippee! Yay-yay!
Yippee! Want to help, Kiawe?

Hey! Sure thing! I
just love playing with flowers!

♪♪

Rockruff!

Did you find it?

All right! Start digging!

Stop! Check it out!

Is that it?

That's definitely it!

And one...
Man... Does that hurt!!

Mallow? Ash is late.

The food's gonna get
get cold, so let's start! Ta-da!

Hope you like it.

Here.
This is yours, Togedemaru.

So yummy!

Everything's so good!

I'm happy!

Me, too!

Now, let's say
a few words to Sophocles.

And remember, we're upbeat!

Alright
then I'll go first.

Sophocles, you take
good care of yourself.

Wherever you go!

Uh... sure.

Also, be sure to
remember Alola's pretty blue sky

when you're
outside on a clear day.

When the sun sets,
I'll think of the happy times.

There are so many!

You know, when I first
arrived at the Pokémon School,

you were the first person to
talk to me before anyone else

did. I'll always be grateful
for that. Thanks, Sophocles.

I'm sorry. I swore
I wouldn't do this, but...

Lillie... don't cry...

Now it's your turn, Sophocles!

Ah! Okay, you see...

Sorry!

You're really late, Ash!

I know! I was looking
for the perfect present!

Sure hope you
like it, Sophocles...

Whoa, a Pokémon!

Charjabug.
The Battery Pokémon. A Bug and

Electric type, and the
evolved form of Grubbin.

Charjabug stores electricity and
can share it with other Pokémon.

Oh it took me
a long time to find one!

Amazing! I've always
wanted to catch a Charjabug!

Really?
Well, now's your big chance!

'Kay, ready?

Now, use Zing Zap!

Charjabug's using Discharge!

Awesome! It's absorbing
energy with Lightning Rod!

Use Zing Zap once more!

♪♪

Now, go, Poké Ball!

Yee-HAAAA!

I just caught a Charjabug!

Good for you, Sophocles!

Thanks so much!

And this is from me.

No matter where you
move, please stay the wonderful

Sophocles we all know.

When you're low,
feel the Alolan spirit!

And if you ever need
anything, remember we're always

here for you anytime!

Anywhere.
You just let us know.

For sure!
We'll come help you out,

no matter how far away you are!

You guys...

It's gonna be okay...

We'll see you again...

That's not it... It's just...

It was a misunderstanding! I'm
moving, but it's really close

by. And I'm only
moving for a week. I'm sorry...

I feel like such an idiot!

What a relief.

You don't have to leave!

He's right!

Not moving means we
don't have to say goodbye!

And you don't have
to leave the Pokémon School!

Yeah...

You'll be here! We
can stay together like always!

Yeah...

I'm so happy!

Yeah,
I'm really happy, too!

Me, too!

Wow, you guys...

That's right.
I didn't tell Togedemaru yet.

Guess what? We don't have
to move a long way away anymore.

You don't
have to say goodbye to Pikachu.

You'll be as close to
each other as you ever were!

Yup! It was nothing
but a big misunderstanding!

♪♪

Okay, everyone! Say cheese!

In spite
of Sophocles' moving


misunderstanding, or maybe
because of it, our heroes have


grown even closer. Isn't
it great to have friends...


as the journey continues!
