21x16 - Mao and Suiren, the Bittersweet Memories!

[bunniefuu]

[narrator]
Ah, another relaxing day in Alola

and our heroes are enjoying
an early afternoon lunch.

[Ash] Man, that’s good!

Ash, if you can’t finish,
I’ll help you out.

-Thank you, but I’m doing fine.
-[chuckles] Oh yeah, that reminds me.

I took my eyes off the twins yesterday
and they disappeared.

-[gasps]
-It’s all right, guys.

They’re fine.
I found them before the sunset.

All right! Where were you two?

[both] The forest!

Hey! What if the two of you
had gotten lost?

-Yay! We did get lost!
-Lost! Lost!

-You... you did?
-Then, know what?

We met this amazing Pokémon
that was this big!

This big! This big!

-[both] Then the Pokémon helped us!
-[Lana] Huh?

[both] And look! We got these!

You mean a Pokémon saved Harper and Sarah?

All right!

Their berries were red
and they were no bigger than this.

-And they smelled so good!
-Huh?

-Hey, Rotom! Which berry?
-I’ll have a look!

Searching. Searching. Searching.

-If it was red, it could be one of these.
-[all] Hm.

[Lana] That one!
If I recall correctly, it’s--

-[Kiawe] Oh, yeah! It’s a Haban Berry!
-[Mallow squeals]

-You remember something, Mallow?
-Of course I do!

Harper and Sarah must have met...

[both] Grandpa Forest, right?

[all] Huh?

-Pi?
-Pop!

-Pika?
-[sniffs]

See, the truth is Lana and I got lost
in the forest a long time ago

-when we were really young, too.
-And a Pokémon saved us.

A really big Pokémon.

-That’s just like Harper and Sarah.
-Wow, that’s some coincidence.

-What kind of Pokémon was it, huh?
-Oh, I’d like to know that, too!

-You know what? I don’t remember.
-[Rotom screams]

[Lillie] Wow. And the two of you haven’t
seen it since?

[Mallow] No, although we’ve tried
looking for it several times since then.

But we never found it.

Eventually we just gave up
and forgot about it.

-Don't you want to try again?
-Maybe now's the time to find it.

You think so?

Well, it saved Harper and Sarah,
didn’t it? Let’s look!

-I want to thank it!
-I do, too!

Let’s go! What are we waiting for?
I want to meet it, too!

[Rotom] Me, too!

-I want a piece of that.
-Catching a rare Pokémon

the young Twerpettes couldn’t relocate
all this time sounds rich!

If it’s that rare,
it sounds like we’ll be rich!

Giving a gift like that to the Boss
would put us on easy street! Sweet.

[Giovanni] Excellent work, Meowth!

There’s nothing like living in the lap
of luxury!

[James] The horn of plenty
will be playing our song!

-[Jessie] One-two, cha-cha-cha!
-Wob! Wob! Wob!

[Meowth] And all we’ve got to do
is follow through!

Brilliant! Simplicity works
very well for us! Don’t you think?

It’s simple to catch them no matter what!

First off, we’ll tail the Twerpettes
and track down that treasure!

[all] And a dash of daring
for good measure! [groaning]

Wobbu?

That’s too bad. I wish that everybody
could’ve done this together.

Sorry!

I promised my dad I’d go to the Charjabug
Car Club event with him today!

I promised my mother
I’d go shopping with her. Sorry.

Sorry, I have to help out on the farm.

It was last minute. That’s okay.

Yeah, you’re right. [chuckles]

Man, I really hope we get to meet
Grandpa Forest.

-We will. No doubt!
-Wow, Lana, you’re fired up!

Of course, because that was the day
Lana and I met for the very first time.

[woman] Hi! I’m here to deliver
everything you ordered!

-[man] Thank you very much.
-No problem. I had another errand to run.

-[Mallow] What are you doing?
-Uh! Huh?

What are you doing?

Uh... Uh...

Uh...

I’m Mallow, from my family’s restaurant!
Nice to meet you! What’s your name?

-I’m Lana.
-[Mallow giggles]

-Let’s go!
-Whoa!

-Bye, Dad! I’m going to go play with Lana!
-On your way, then!

-Don’t go too far!
-Okay! [chuckles]

-This way! This way!
-Oh!

-This way, this way!
-Oh! Oh!

[chuckles] We’re here!
My favorite place in the world!

-Here’s your bracelet!
-Wow!

That’s amazing, Miss Family Restaurant.

Family Restaurant? Call me Mallow!

Huh? Ma... Ma...

Cutiefly! [buzzes]

[both] Huh?

-Let’s go follow it!
-Uh-huh.

Cutiefly!

Cutiefly!

-Spinarak!
-Cutiefly!

Cutiefly!

-Ribombee! Wow!
-[buzzing]

-[jibbers]
-Like it?

-Huh?
-[jibbers] Bom-bom!

-It looks great on you.
-[jibbers]

[buzzing and gibbering]

-[gasps] It’s a Pollen Puff!
-A what?

-It’s really yummy! Just try it!
-Huh?

[both] Sweet!

Isn’t it delish? [chuckles]

[Lana] Mm. Yeah.

[both chuckle]

Cool! So the Pollen Puff made you two
friends. I want to try a Pollen Puff, too!

Your mouth will explode.

-Sounds delish. I’m so jealous!
-I can taste it right now.

It says Pollen Puffs are packed
with nutrients

and therefore really good for you!

[squeals] Good is good!

Hey, you with the wings.
Give me one of those Pollen Puffs.

[puzzled buzz]

[munches] Mm. Thanks a lot.

I just got my snack on in a big way!

-Where’s the justice in that?
-Equal treatment!

-[groans]
-Hey, something wrong?

They apparently make Pollen Puffs
for snacking and attacking.

How convenient! Now you tell me!

Oh, look! I think this is it!

Yeah, we found it!

That’s right. I’m pretty sure this is
the spot where we met Grandpa Forest.

-[buzzing] Bom-bom!
-[both] Huh?

Uh...

Miss Family Restaurant?

Know what my daddy told me?

To get away quietly if I ever meet
a Pokémon that I don’t know.

Okay.

-[growls]
-Hello?

-[roars]
-[both scream]

-[all gibber]
-Pika!

[Ash] Oh, I get it!

We were scared. It was our first time
seeing it, wasn’t it?

Mm-hm. I’m starting to remember it now.

And that’s my cue!
If you’ll tell me its features,

I should be able to determine
which Pokémon it is right away!

-That’s great! Thank you, Rotom!
-My pleasure!

It looks like that Babble Dex is coming
in handy for once.

So, what kind of Pokémon is it?

-Now, the facts, please.
-All right.

-It really looks just like a grandpa.
-Grandpa.

-And it’s green.
-That’s right, and it was white, too!

[chuckles] Ta-da!
I’ve already figured it out!

-Wow, that was quick!
-[all gasp]

Of course! The Pokémon that
fits that description is...

[all scream] Wow!

I haven’t said anything yet!

You’re right. Sorry. Go ahead.

Yeah, we’re listening. [giggles]

The Pokémon that perfectly fits
your description is Abomasnow!

It's an Abomasnow?

Yeah, no.

No way.

[Team Rocket groan]

But how?
It matches your description by %!

But it’s still not right.

At this rate, my reputation as a Rotom Dex
will be ruined.

I’ll have to get it right
next time for sure!

-Now, what else do you remember?
-Let me see, hm.

Do you remember
what happened afterward?

We got lost. In the forest.

Uh, right! [chuckles] We were so petrified
after meeting Grandpa Forest,

we ran and ran and ran
as fast as we could.

When we stopped,
we didn’t know where we were.

-[sobs] Where are we?
-I have no idea.

Of course you don’t.
It’s your first time here. I’m sorry.

-It’s all because I asked you to play.
-It’s all right.

-Huh?
-Oh.

[whimpers]

Uh, what do we do?

What if we’re never able to get back home?

[wails]

Oh-oh. Oh.

[sobs and wails]

-[Lana] Huh?
-[Mallow wails]

-Huh?
-[Mallow wails]

Look!

Do you know what these are?
Maybe we can eat them.

I don’t know.

I’ve never ever seen them before.

[sobs and wails]

Mm. [sniffs]

It smells good! Okay. [munches]

[stifled groan]

Oh, hey! These berries are so yummy!
Here, try them!

Really?

[munches]

[stifled groan] It’s so bitter!
You lied to me!

Sorry. But I’m glad I did.

-How come?
-Look at you now!

You’re not crying anymore, Mallow.

Huh?

Hm. Wow, you’re right.

[gasps] You called me by my name!
You said Mallow!

-Say it one more time! Pretty please?
-Uh... Mm...

[stifled groan] You see?
It’s not as bitter now.

You’re right.
It’s like it’s getting sweeter.

-Uh-huh! It’s bittersweet!
-It is.

-It’s Bittersweet.
-Mm!

-Hey! I’ve been here before!
-Now we can get home!

Yeah and it’s all thanks to Bittersweet!

Thanks a lot, Bittersweet! Ah!

[pants] Wait up, Bittersweet!

[pants]

[whimpers and gasps]

-[groans]
-[grunts]

[both scream]

[both grunt]

[Drampa gibbers]

[both] Huh?

You really rode on its back?

-Awesome!
-Just in the nick of time.

It was pretty dangerous, wasn’t it?

-You’re so lucky.
-Ah! I finally figured it out!

[all] Who’s that Pokémon?

[all] It’s Drampa!

[Drampa] Drampa.

[Rotom] Drampa. The Placid Pokémon.
A Normal and Dragon type.

Drampa live on tall mountains.
Tree berries are their favorite food.

-They also enjoy playing with children.
-[gasps] That’s Grandpa Forest!

-Yeah, you’re right! You’re great, Rotom!
-It was nothing!

[Ash] Now that we know what it is
let’s go and find Drampa!

-[Lana] Right!
-[all gibber]

-Let’s go, everybody!
-Pika!

Stee!

[all grunt]

They had me worried for a while,

but they finally figured out
what Pokémon it is.

Oh, it’s a Drampa!
I want to ride on its back as well!

It’s annoying enough having to listen
to those Twerpettes

-without you chiming in with them!
-That’s it!

Whoa. I just came up with
an incredible plan that blew me away!

So, where’s that Drampa?

Drampa like tree berries.
That might be a good place to start.

-I remember.
-Huh?

The place where you and I played
with Grandpa Forest.

Drampa!

[Lana] I wonder if this place is its home.

-Huh?
-A Bittersweet!

Same as what that came rolling
toward me before.

-Maybe it was you.
-Maybe. Was it?

Drama... Drampa!

[Lana and Mallow groan]

That’s so strange.

Maybe Grandpa Forest is trying
to play with us.

-Grandpa Forest?
-Mm. Grandpa Forest.

-Drampa!
-[girls chuckle]

[giggles] Oh! Mm! You’re so soft!

And so smooth, too! [giggles]

[gasps] Whoa!

[both laugh]

So many trees. And all Bittersweet.

And Drampa’s home was in
a clearing in the forest.

-Drampa’s got to be there!
-Pi!

-Pi. [sniffs]
-[Ash] Huh? What’s up, Pikachu?

Pika!

-Stee! Steenee!
-[Lana] Popplio?

Maybe they found something!

Pi. Pika. [sniffs]

-Pi. Pi.
-Stee! Steenee!

Pikachu!

-[Lana] Look at all the Bittersweet trees!
-[Ash] Then this is the place?

-It looks kind of familiar.
-And kind of not.

Huh?

[all squeal]

-[both] It’s Grandpa Forest!
-[Ash] Wow! Drampa!

-Drampa!
-[all giggle]

-[Jessie] Stop right there!
-[Mallow] What is it?

[Jessie] Boo!
Who is it is what we’re about!

[James] I’ll tell you our name,
so you Twerps won’t pout!

[Jessie] Playing with toys is what I do!
I’m going to steal your toys from you!

It’s Jessie!

[James] Making castles in the sand.
Handiwork that’s made by hand!

Isn’t it grand? It's brat boy, James!

[Meowth] Baby’s hungry, I won’t lie.
Give me bottle, or I’ll cry!

Baba-baby, then sleepy-bye!
Meowth, aye-aye!

[both] We’re Team Rocket Junior,
give us a try!

-Meowth, night-night!
-Wobbu. Wobbu.

Grampy has more fun with us!

Because you Twerps are just way
too immature!

Excuse us, Grampy dear,
won’t you play with us right here?

If you say no, I’ll hold my baby’s breath
until I turn blue!

Baby wants his baba and baby wants you!

[both] No, we want you to play with us,
goo-goo!

All right, what’s the deal? You said
Grampy is a Pokémon who likes brats,

and operation goo-goo-ga-ga
would work!

Guess my goo-goo went bye-bye.

But! I’m ready for something like this.

Bada-bing, bada-boom!
Zippie, zowie, bangy-zoom!

Baby-approved! Va-va-voom!

Doom!

-Dramp.
-Drampa!

Like it? That’s my
"Stop being a naughty Twerp" launcher!

For Twerps and Twerp friends!

Yay! Now we get to play, and you don’t!

-We caught Grampy, so boo-Twerpish-hoo!
-Wobbu. Wobbu.

-How could they!
-Unforgivable!

-Pikachu, save Drampa, now! Go!
-Pika!

-[Drampa roars]
-Uh! [gasps]

[Drampa growls and roars]

You know? It made the net
look like noodles.

Soggy ones, too.

-Oopsie-whoopsie!
-Goo-goo oy!

-[Drampa growls]
-[all scream]

-Drampa!
-[all scream]

[Team Rocket groans]

[Team Rocket ]
We're blasting off with no toy!

Does it remember us at all?

[Lana] Grandpa Forest?

[all mumble nervously]

Drampa. Drampa.

[both] Ha! Peekaboo, peekaboo,
peekaboo, peekaboo.

-Dra...
-[Lana and Mallow giggle]

-It’s been so long!
-We missed you so much!

Drampa.

-It’s Drampa. Nice to meet you!
-Pika!

-[Ash] Yay!
-Pikachu!

Wow. It’s really Drampa!

-Popplio!
-Steenee!

Thanks for saving Harper and Sarah before.

You’re such a sweetie, Grandpa Forest.

And thank you for saving us
when we were kids!

Drampa!

Hey, I’d sure like to try some of this,
if you wouldn’t mind.

It’s Bittersweet!
What do you say, dear Mallow?

Oh. [giggles]

Let’s have some!

-Here. This is yours, Pikachu.
-Pikachu! Pika!

[narrator] Mallow and Lana
reunited with the Drampa

who filled their childhood memories
with joy,

though they haven’t eaten
a Haban Berry in quite a while.

[all] Here we go! Down the hatch!

[all munch]

[all groan] Bitter sweet!

Drampa. Drampa!

[narrator] ...as the journey continues.
