20x28 - Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper!

[bunniefuu]

Ash and his friends
are glued to the TV at Professor

Kukui's house, and the
excitement has obviously

affected everyone!

I wonder
what they're watching...

And Gyarados gets all of it!

It's a powerhouse

screamer that
slams into the wall!

Awesome! Yess.
This game's getting SO GOOD!

All right! We've
got two outs and a runner on

first... and here comes
batter number four, Oluolu!

The final win for
the Magikarp team to clinch the

season hangs on what
Oluolu does with that bat!

And Oluolu gets all of it!

The ball flies high
above Exeggutor's outstretched

neck! The Magikarp wins with an

out-of-the-park
walk-off home run!

SO COOL!
I wanna play Pokémon Base, too!

And the Pro League
Pokémon Base season champs

are... The Magikarp!

♪♪

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!

♪♪

Alola!

Alola, Professor Kukui!

So did everybody watch

the Pokémon Base game?

Yeah!

He hit the ball like, BAM,
then he ran like, slid like,

WHEE! It was so
amazing! Right, Pikachu?

If you ask me, it was
Oluolu's final play that clips

their victory for the season.

He's the best!
He's from Alola, right?

He's
from Melemele Island, too!

Yeah?
You know everything!

Are you a big fan of his?

I... guess so...

I want to
hear everything about it!

I think it would be
fun if we played, don't you?

Guess what?
Pokémon Base is what today's

class is about!

YOU MEAN IT?!
Ha Ah Hah!

Professor?
I don't know the rules.

Me neither!

Are you going to
teach us, Professor Kukui?

Not me! But I
asked a great Pokémon Base coach

to come do just that.

Oh! What coach?

Alola, class!

I can't believe it...

It's Oluolu!

Oluolu?!

No WAY...

Autograph...

And who's
that standing behind him?!

♪♪

He graduated
from this Pokémon School

with a Dugtrio of honors!

I'm Oluolu
from the Magikarp.

Your own Trapinch-hitter!

Maybe the principal

taught him when he
was in school here...

Probably...

Pro League
Pokémon Base keeps Oluolu very

busy, but he made time in his
tight schedule to come and have

a visit with us today.

Professor Kukui had told
me earlier that his students

have a keen
interest in Pokémon Base.

He's got that right...

Class, isn't it wonderful?
Today we'll be taking

a special look at Pokémon
Base with Oluolu himself!

Pokémon Base!
This is gonna be great!

Now, play ball!

We've learned all of
the ins and outs of the game

from Oluolu, so let the game begin!
And first to take the

field is none
other than Team Kiawe!

When I'm on the mound,
every bit of strength I have

goes into the pitch!

Pitching, number , Kiawe!

Catching, Number , Turtonator!

Steenee, feel the heat!

Third base, number ,
Mallow!

First base, number ,
Steenee!

All right!
Snowy, here it comes!

Right field, number , Lillie!

Left field,
number , Snowy!

Unlike a Pro League
game, today's competition will

use a triangular playing field,
with each team consisting of

three Trainers and
three Pokémon as well.

And here on the call:
Principal Oak, Professor Kukui,

and Oluolu will be taking
care of the play-by-play action.

This is a
triangle base game, with no

second base to step Lumineon.

With six players on a team,
I modified the rules and

told them to Exeggcute,
Exeggcute, Exeggcute!

Moving on...

Allow me to
introduce you to... Team Ash!

Yeah...
Home run king, that's me!

Catching, Number , Ash!

Pitching, number ,
Pikachu! First base, number ,

Popplio! Third base, number ,
Lana! Right field, number ,

Sophocles! Left field,
number , Togedemaru!

Watch me,
Rowlet! Rockruff! Litten!

Scyther!
You're the umpire. Thanks a lot!

Here it comes, Ash...

Bring it on!

What will it be?

Inferno Overdrive Ball!

Look out...
This is everything I've got!

Gigavolt Havoc Swing!

He missed it...

Listen, Ash!
Remember, you've got to keep

your eye on the ball!

I know, I know!

Inferno Overdrive Ball!

♪♪

That was a lousy call!

But it's still a strike.

♪♪

It's a strike.

Mm huh! Yup.

All right. I'll just hit
everything that comes to me!

Let's see now. What
kind of ball is our pitcher

Pikachu planning to throw?!

Pikachu! Show them
some of that ol' pepper, buddy!

Give me your best sh*t!
Whatever it is, it's gone!

Oh, no.
Could this be...

Say it's not so! A popup?!

Right here! It's mine!
I've got it. I'VE GOT IT!

To the right!
No, to the left!

Which way?!

Yay! He caught it!

Well, of course!

Burn it in here...

Popplio, make a balloon!

And you're out!
Nice play, Popplio!

Now that's
teamwork I can get behind!

Go, Steenee!
Knock the cover off of that ball!

Jump, Togedemaru!

What a creative catch!

♪♪

♪♪

Let's see
if you can hit THIS!

Whoa, here it comes...
I know I can catch that! I read

about catching a long time ago
in a book! Oh no... I'm scared!

♪♪

Thanks so much, Snowy!

Inferno Overdrive Ball!

I've got it...

This is our chance!

Turtonator, block the runner!

Oh, man...

That odd play was recorded!

Now for the last
inning! Team Ash is on offense,

but one more out and the game is over!
They're one point behind,

with runner Popplio on first and
Lana at bat! Can they make a

one-hit comeback
for the big win?!

This is it!
The pitch that ends the game!

Inferno Overdrive Ball!

My secret technique.
Single-hook fishing-style!

All right!

It's an
out-of-the-park home run!

Pokémon Base is so much fun!

A... all right. There's still...
bottom of the ninth...

Oluolu is such a dreamboat.

I never thought you'd

have an
interest in Pokémon Base.

Pokémon Base? Who cares?
My heart belongs to dear Oluolu.

We're here
to catch PokéMON...

WHO DID THAT?!

You lugs are gonna pay!
Nobody messes with MY mug!

My hunk, Oluolu...

"Who's that Pokémon?"

"It's Scyther!"

With four runs to three,
Team Ash is the winner!

You really b*at me...

Sorry you
had to lose, Kiawe.

You sure put up
a good fight. Wow!

Hey!

Hey, kid, catch this.

Wow. It's the ball we won
the game with. Thanks a lot!

If you're thanking
us? Now that's rich...

Your gratitude may
soon undergo the big switch!

My batting average is a thousand;
Twerps hide in shame.

The Pokémon Base world bows down
at the sound of my name: Jessie!

When I go to bat,
the bases are swirled! The sultan of

swats fighting back against
a tragic world! It's James.

It's -and- ,
but this dude isn't through.

My glittering Grand Slam lights
up the darkest night! Dig it,

while Meowth's
line drive takes flight!

Team Rocket, let's fight!

That's right!

It's Team Rocket!

What are you doing here?!

What aren't we doing here?
Isn't it obvious?

We haven't
picked up your Pikachu yet...

I have a dream!
Getting Oluolu's autograph!

- Oy vey...
- You're a liar!

I am not a liar!!

You're after
Pokémon and you know it!

Not today, brat!

Can't fool us!

Although I want
his autograph, also!

LADIES FIRST, TWERP...

One second. Why don't we

settle this dispute
with a Pokémon Base game?

Smart and handsome...

My autograph will go
to the winning team. However,

Snorlax and I will play, too...
on Team School, of course.

Oh, you're such a card!

Handsome men
can be so predictable!

I don't care if he's
the island clown! If you want a

game, let's get down!

Right! Then it's game on!

Are we ready?
A Pokémon Base game against Team

Rocket! With Oluolu's autograph
on the line! Who will win?!

Let's win this!

Get 'em GOOD!

Remember, the word
"lose" doesn't exist in Team

Rocket's dictionary.
The only entry is "victory!"

But there's a
professional on their team.

Don't worry.
It's obvious they have a slow amateur

on their team as well.

Snorlax, right?

Talk about a lack of
motivation! Jumbo must think

they're safe with
Oluolu on their team,

so that's who we target.

Good point.

You've got it.

We're Team...

Rocket!

Now, play ball! Oluolu's
autograph is mine, all mine!

Let 'er rip, [font color=#ff ]chu![/font]

Slow down a bit!

She hit it!

In spite of herself!

Snorlax! Incom-ing!

Perfect aim...

I've got it!

What did I tell you?
I had it and I went with it...

Quit gloating
and start ambulating!

Run, baby, RUN!

I have to run?

Wrong way!!

Set your sulking
sights on tagging first base!

Of all the nerve...

It's all for the autograph.
Oluolu's autograph!

Here it comes!

I WIN! I WIN!

Out!

You didn't run soon enough!

You bragged,
now you're TAGGED!

Stupid rules
are rules for the commoners...

Again?!

I got it, I got it!

Excellent!
Nice play covering Snorlax!

Wake up! I can't
do this on my own, you know!

We're counting on you,
Pikachu!

Now,
with Team School on offense,

Team Rocket's
pitcher is Mimikyu!

Show 'em
the ol' pepper, yeah!

I've never seen
Mimikyu so charged up before.

This just might work.

Did I just see Mimikyu
purposely throw that lousy

looping foul ball stinker?

Are you okay, Pikachu?

♪♪

Hey, that's against
the rules, and you know it!

It's time for a switch.
Changing pitchers, now...

Strike!
You are out of here!

You got me...

Mimikyu's off the mound,
and Meowth's on! But Team

School is having some serious
trouble with Team Rocket's

surprisingly good pitches!

Team Rocket has a
one-run lead going into the

bottom of the final inning.
Which means, this is Team

School's last
chance for victory!

Hey, batter, miss!
Hey, batter, batter, miss!!

Who knew you could have

paws and throw
awesome fastballs?

Inside these paws hide
some cleverly cunning claws!

Dig it! All that strength
training I did, day after day,

in the rain, snow, and
wind, has really come in handy!

I'm having a ball...

And now
it's Oluolu. Batter UP!

As long as I'm on the mound,
you're outbound!

What are you doing?!

Get a grip!

All I did was let the
"professional" have his moment,

that's all... But I'll strike
out the next bumbling batter.

Dig? They're all the same!

Now, it's Oluolu's
partner Snorlax at the plate.

Is a comeback hit in the cards?

Principal Oak, any thoughts?

It's about time
we got to see Snorlax's skills.

ROCK-ruff and roll!

I wouldn't exactly
call Snorlax motivated...

I hope it's okay...

Well,
Snorlax is the Sleeping Pokémon,

so it's not awake all that much.

Yay, Snorlax!

Show us the ol' pepper,
bud, and give us a home run!

Talking to Snorlax
is like talking to a brick.

Check this!
The diabolical Meow League Ball!

I need to explain that
the Meow League Ball is Meowth's

unbeatable curve ball that
always strikes out the batter,

and which Meowth attained by
training countless long hours.

Grab that, Mareanie!

Over here!

Hey, this game's
not over yet! This is nuts!

But one more out and this
game is history for Team Twerp!

Snorlax, run!

Yeah, run!

Please run, Snorlax!

You've got to move, move!

Now, time to
pull out all the stops!

Check it OUT!

Passion! And sweat!
Tears and guts! Feel the burn!

Run, Snorlax!
Use Pulverizing Pancake, go!

I'm dizzy...

Not on my home plate!

Safe!

YEAH!!

Well done, partner!

That
wraps it up! Team School wins!

I'm digging a little
dugout dirt that soaked up my

soul and sweat. And tears.

Now I'll never be able

to get Oluolu's
autograph, ever...

What's this?

The autograph I promised!

But we lost the game!

And a
wonderful game it was!

This is my way of saying thanks.

And he's
generous, too! Thank...

How could you?!
You've got lousy timing!

Why, oh why, oh WHY?!

♪♪

Thanks to all of you!
This day brought back so many

memories from when I first
started playing pro, long before

I was a LarviSTAR!

Oh, back when you
were little and playing Pokémon

Base LudiSOLO!

Today we brought you
a doubleheader: one game between

the Pokémon School students, and
one between the students and

Team Rocket, coming to you live
from Pokémon School Stadium!

As the journey continues!
