20x35 - Currying Favor and Flavor!

Post by bunniefuu »

All right, then. The grand trial between
Olivia and Ash, the challenging Trainer,

is now about to get under way!

And I just can’t wait.

Okay and I expect you to hit me
with your best sh*t.

I will. All right, Litten, I choose you.

Huh? What's going on?
Come on, Litten. Please come out.

Guess not today.

All right, then, Rowlet, I choose you.

-Pikachu?
-[Ash] What’s going on here?

Hey, what’s up? Come out, please.
Come on. Huh! [gasps]

-Voltorb. Voltorb!
-A Voltorb?

[screams]

[all grunt and yell]

-Oh, my head!
-What was that all about?

I guess... it was just a dream.

-Man, quit scaring us like that.
-Yeah. Thanks for waking everybody up.

[chuckles nervously]

-Pikachu.
-Thanks, Pikachu.

[squeals softly]

-Pika?
-[Ash] Right.

Today’s the day. I’m about to challenge
the island kahuna to a grand trial.

Pika, Pika!

♪ 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! ♪

[narrator] Our heroes are enjoying
their field trip

under the watchful eye of Olivia,
the island kahuna,

with new adventures to experience
every day.

-Turtonator.
-Maro!

-Turt!
-[sighs] Come on. Stop fighting.

-Maro. Maro.
-Turtonator.

[both grunt and growl]

What do I do with you?

Good. I’m glad all of you are here.

Now it's time to reveal what
today’s activities are all about.

-Oh, I can't wait.
-Me neither.

-Me! Me, me, me!
-What’s on your mind?

You see, I really want to learn
how to use a new Z-Move right away.

So, Olivia, can we have
our grand trial as soon as possible?

Well, why not? No time like the present.

-[Ash gasps]
-Mm, kidding!

You're not ready for a grand trial yet.

Man, I was so psyched.

Now, as you already know,
there are other trials you need to pass

before the grand trial to see
if you’re ready.

I'll do them all. I’m so ready
and I’m going to pass every single one.

-Don't get ahead of yourself.
-[Ash grunts]

Now, this way.

[grunts and squeals]

[all sigh]

Here’s what we’re doing today,

learning how to make Akala Curry,
Akala Island’s famous dish.

[Mallow chuckles]
I’ve always wanted to make that.

-That’s it? I'm already a master chef.
-What? Master chef?

You saw the croquette sandwich I made.

Sticking a croquette between
bread is not cooking!

Here we go.
I'm the worst cook in the world.

I’ve got to get better at measuring
my ingredients.

Cooking’s not exactly rocket science.

-Does that mean you know how to cook?
-Of course I do.

-How many times have you made Akala Curry?
-None.

-[all] Aw!
-So it is rocket science.

In our family kitchen,
I take care of a lot of things.

I remember once looking at a recipe
for Akala Curry

and I think it had some ingredients
I've never seen before.

That’s the point.

Today's lesson isn't just about cooking,
you see? You have to find the ingredients.

[Olivia] First off, we're going to split
you into three teams. Are you ready?

-[Kukui] Here are the ingredients to find.
-Kiawe and Lillie will find these.

Sophocles and Lana, these.

And these are for Ash and Mallow.

Let's see. A Mago Berry, Revival Herbs
and a Miracle Seed?

That's it. I remember!

Miracle Seeds are so rare
that they’re nearly impossible to locate.

Yeah? Looking at all this stuff...
I’m so stoked!

-Pika.
-I've made up some simple maps.

We marked places they can be found.
That should make things easier.

But if just one ingredient is missing,
no curry! Got it?

-[all] Got it!
-Okay. Let’s go.

-Mallow, just a quick word.
-Uh! Huh?

Mallow, which one’s the closest?

Let's see... the Mago Berries.
Uh, they’re up on a hill.

A hill? That one maybe.

[Pikachu grunts]

-Huh? What's that?
-Could be veggies.

-Not at all. They're Pokémon.
-[both gasp]

Fomantis. The Sickle Grass Pokémon.
A Grass type.

Fomantis spread their leaves
to get sunlight for photosynthesis.

-Wow, Fomantis.
-They all look so peaceful taking a nap.

-Pika, Pika.
-Let’s see.

-Wait. You’ll wake them up.
-Yeah, I guess you're right.

Where could those Mago Berries be? Huh?

There they are!

[all grunt angrily]

-[all gasp]
-They’re using Leafage. Run.

-[yelling]
-Pika!

Hey, you didn't have
to att*ck us like that!

Ash, one great joy for Fomantis
is collecting sunlight while they nap.

So, of course they get annoyed
if someone interferes with that.

You couldn’t have told me earlier.

[Mallow] What do we do? We can’t give up.

Hm. Hey, I know.

Rowlet.

Wake up. It's rise and shine.

[trills]

Do you see the tree
with the Mago Berries up on that hill?

[trills]

Now, I want you to be real quiet.
Fly up and get one for us.

[trills]

-Great. All right, hit it!
-[trills]

Hey! Wake up!

[hoots]

Fly up and grab
one of these berries quietly.

You got it? Got it?

[trills]

-Do you really think it can handle it?
-No doubt.

Rowlet always comes through in a pinch.

Flying without a sound and getting close
to people are two of Rowlet's specialties.

That's it. Now we get a Mago Berry.

[snores]

[all groan]

-Why am I not surprised?
-Pikachu.

It’s time to come up with Plan B.

-Pika!
-Huh?

Pikachu!

Uh! That’s it. I can do that, too.

This is aggravating. I'm going on ahead.

[both gasp softly]

[all sigh]

[grunts]

Oh!

[both grunt and cough]

[all] Ah... Ah... Ah... Ah...

Stee!

[angry grunting]

[scared grunting]

-Stee...
-Oh!

Stee! Steenee... Stee. Stee. Stee. Stee.
Steenee... Stee. Stee...

Quick. Hurry up.

[all laugh]

[all grunt]

-[gasps] They're attacking.
-I’ll get one. [grunts]

[trills]

Mallow, you go on ahead.

-What about you?
-Just do it.

Good luck.

-Hm.
-[trills]

[growling and roaring]

Quick, counter
their Leafage Move with yours.

[trills]

-Whoa, oh, no. There are too many! Ah!
-Pikachu!

-Pika!
-Ah! Ah! Ah!

[scream and grunts]

-Ash, are you all right?
-[groans]

[chuckles] I'm just fine.
I just caught a Mago Berry.

What's next?

The next closest spot is a rocky ridge
with Revival Herbs.

Whoa. It'll take forever
to search this whole place.

They might even be
in the crevices between the rocks.

Huh? Hey, Pikachu.

Pik... [sniffs]

-Pika.
-[grunts]

-Pi!
-Huh?

-Pikachu!
-Hey, aren't those Revival Herbs?

-[Ash] Finally, the Miracle Seed.
-It's on the other side of this cave.

Great. Let's move.

[all gasp]

[Mallow] Which way do we go?

I calculate a % chance
of success for this tunnel,

and a % chance for this tunnel.

[Mallow] So which one is best?

-This has a % chance and that has a--
-[Ash] This way.

-[Ash] What?
-[Mallow] Another fork.

-This one has--
-[Ash] Okay, this way.

You seem pretty sure of yourself, Ash.

If we don’t make a choice,
we'll get nowhere.

[Mallow] Right. Good thinking.

I'm not the kind of guy who likes
to stand around and do nothing, see?

-Ash, stop!
-Like I said, I don’t like...

-Pikachu!
-Ash!

[groans]

That's why I told you to stop, see?

-Diglett!
-Huh!

[Ash] A Diglett.

-[grunts] Dig! Dig! Dig! Dig! Dig! Dig!
-[all scream]

I didn't mean to land on you.
I’m really sorry.

-Dig! Dig! Dig! Dig!
-Ah!

-[screaming]
-Retreat!

-[all pant]
-[Ash] I guess we're safe now.

This cave is actually a Diglett nest.
I estimate more than .

That means we have to get through
without disturbing them.

Yeah. Huh?

-What's that?
-It's a Diglett whisker.

I got it.

Rockruff, I choose you.

-Ruff.
-Let me know when you smell this scent.

[sniffs]

[barks and yaps]

Yes. That means
there aren’t any Diglett this way. Great!

Steenee!

[barks]

This way, then.

[barking and panting]

Huh?

Huh? [gasps and pants]

We're finally outside.
Great, Rockruff. Thanks a lot.

[chuckles]

There’s got to be a Miracle Seed
somewhere.

-Right.
-Pika.

Huh? Pikachu. Find something?

-Pika.
-Look at all the berries.

-Huh?
-Pikachu!

-I found it.
-Huh. That’s totally amazing.

-What are the odds of that?
-Great job, Pikachu.

[squeals]

Right. Like catching Pokémon,
we caught all the ingredients.

[chuckles]

[both gasp]

[both scream]

[all] Who’s that Pokémon?

It’s Fomantis.

[Fomantis] Fomantis.

Lurantis!

-Who’s that?
-Pika!

Lurantis. The Bloom Sickle Pokémon.

A Grass type
and the evolved form of Fomantis.

Lurantis use their appearance and aroma
to lure in opponents and defeat them.

But this Lurantis is twice
the size of a normal one.

For sure. It's huge. Do you think
it could be... a Totem Pokémon?

[roaring and grunting]

-It's using Petal Blizzard. Run!
-[screaming]

[squeals] Pika!

Ha! If it's a battle you want,
you’ve got it. Lurantis is a Grass type.

So we should counter with a Fire type.
Litten, I choose you!

-Litten!
-Use Ember!

Litten!

[groans]

-That was super effective.
-So awesome.

Huh? What's it doing?

I'd calculate a % chance
it's preparing to use Solar Blade.

We’ll b*at it by moving first.
Fire Fang, let’s go.

[meows] Litten! Ha!

[groans]

-Look out!
-Steenee!

[roars] Lurantis!

Lurantis!

-Litten, dodge it!
-[meows]

-[grunts]
-It’s so strong.

Yeah, but we're fine
as long as it doesn't hit.

-[grunts] Luran!
-[squeals]

-I think it just called its ally for help.
-Uh!

-Who’s that Pokémon?
-Castform.

The Weather Pokémon. A Normal type.

Castform has learned to use the power
of nature to protect its small body.

[squeals]

Hey, Rotom, what's going on?

Castform’s using Sunny Day.

Uh, I think it's evolving.

[Rotom Dex] Not exactly.
That's its Sunny Form.

Castform changes its appearance
depending on the weather.

[Ash] It’s trying
to use Solar Blade again.

That means
it needs time to build up power.

Quick. Litten, use... Uh?

Lurantis!

-That's too fast!
-Rantis!

Litten!

It didn't need to build up power
with this sunlight.

[squeals]

[meows and groans]

It also seems to be able to use Water g*n.

We’re up against two Pokémon,
I’ll use two.

-Now, Rowlet, I choose you!
-[snores]

I knew it.

-Wake up!
-[hoots]

-Use Peck on Lurantis, go!
-[hoots]

Great. And Litten, you use Ember!

Litten!

[meows]

-Huh?
-What’s going on?

[Rotom Dex] It's using Synthesis
in the bright sunlight to recover health.

No way!

[squeals]

[trills]

[roars]

-Litten!
-Oh, no!

-If it keeps up, you're going to lose.
-Pikachu!

Then we'll defeat Castform first.
Quick, Rowlet, grab Litten now!

-[trills]
-Litten!

[hoots]

Okay, Rowlet, use Peck!
Litten, use Scratch!

[trills]

[meows]

[squeals]

[grunts] Lurantis!

-[meows and pants]
-Litten, you okay?

Litten’s on the verge of total collapse.

Litten, hang in there!

Litten, dodge it, quick.

Oh, no!

-Rowlet!
-Pika, Pika!

Wow, Rowlet, you shielded Litten.

[trills]

Rowlet, thanks a lot.
You’re the best. Use Tackle.

[groans]

Now we deal with Lurantis.

[Rotom Dex] There’s less sunlight.
It's a chance.

Let's do it, Litten!

[meows]

All right.
Here we go with full power now!

Breakneck Blitz, go!

[meows]

Litten!

[groans] Lurantis...

-We did it!
-Pika! Pika!

We really won this battle. Awesome.

-[trills]
-Pikachu!

I'm glad we got more Revival Herbs
than we actually needed.

[chomps happily and meows]

-[squeals and gags]
-Stee... [chuckles]

[grunts]

-Now that’s more like it.
-Yeah, thank goodness.

-Pika.
-Huh?

-[squeaks]
-Lurantis.

-Hm?
-Pika?

-Huh?
-[Ash] Huh? What's that?

-[Mallow] It's a Grass-type Z-Crystal.
-Yeah? This is for me?

-Lurantis.
-[gasps] Thank you so much.

Hey, I just got a Grassium Z!

Pika, Pika!

[trills]

Huh? Wait a minute. Does this mean
you really are the Totem Pokémon?

-[Olivia] Exactly.
-Huh? Olivia.

[laughs] Yay. Hi. You did it.
Ash and Pikachu, you were amazing.

And you two... you battled so wonderfully.
Thank you. Mwah! Mwah!

And you two? Excellent. Well done!
Mwah! Well done. Mwah!

Uh, what's going on?

Actually... the process of collecting
all of the ingredients you needed

was one of your trials, Ash.

Uh? But Mallow and I
did all of this together.

Wait. Mallow, were you in on this, also?

[chuckles] Sorry, Ash.

I simply asked Mallow to stand by
and observe, no matter what happened.

-Well, what do you know?
-Pika?

I got to see all the effort and hard work
you and your Pokémon put in

and as Akala Island’s kahuna, I confirm
you passed the trials. Congratulations.

So does that mean
I’ll be able to have my grand trial?

Of course it does.

All right.

[Rotom Dex]
To commemorate the moment, say cheese.

[Olivia] Ta-da. It's all ready.

-I hope everybody’s got an appetite.
-[all] That’s right. We sure do.

-[Kukui] What about you? Oh, I see.
-[munching]

This is so good.

-And how.
-[chomping]

Delicious.

-Sure is.
-[chomps] There’s plenty more!

[happy chomping]

-Oh! Hot, my tongue!
-[chuckles]

[happy chomping]

-Steenee!
-Vul! Vul!

-I heard the good news.
-About the trials.

-Nice work.
-Congrats, Ash.

-Yes, congratulations.
-Thanks, everybody.

It’s a sunny day, huh?

Now, Ash, you know I'll be tough.

Of course. That’s just what I want.

That’s what you want, too, right?

[all gibber]

[narrator] Ash and his Pokémon passed
the preliminary Akala Island trials.

Their next step is the grand trial
with Olivia, the island kahuna,

as the journey continues...
