-Dodge it, please.
-Ee! Eevee!

-Vee! Vee!
-Use Take Down!

-Eevee! Vee!
-Now, use Swift!

[grunts]

-You're quite good.
-Thank you so much.

-After all, I did train quite hard.
-Here you go.

[chuckles]

We finally got it. Isn't it great?

-Eevee!

[narrator] It's another glorious day
at the Pokémon School

as our heroes are practicing
a few moves.

Torracat! Flame Charge, go!

-Torracat!
-Now, Turtonator, Dragon Tail!

-Turta!
-Torracat!

[yells]

Stop! That's enough!

-Turtonator, that was some great work!
-Turta!

-Torracat!
-[meows]

Awesome work!

-Torracat!
-Pika!

I'm surprised! Litten wouldn't have had
that kind of power in the past.

-So cool.
-Isn't that just amazing?

I can't help but wonder which Pokémon
is going to evolve next!

-Togede! Togede! To...
-Huh? It's not as easy as it sounds.

Oh. Ash, do you ever plan
on evolving Pikachu?

-Pika?
-Now that you mention it...

Pikachu evolves into a Raichu,
isn't that right?

If it evolves here,
do you think it will it be Alolan?

-Pi.
-Everything's fine just the way it is.

-Everything's fine?
-We're made our choice. Right, buddy?

[squeals]

[women squealing]

-Hm? Huh?
-Pika?

[squealing and yelling]

Huh. [chuckles]

Alola! Hi there, Professor!

Huh? Who's that?

That's Ilima, a graduate
of the Pokémon School.

What a nice surprise.
When did you get back?

It was just this morning.

I'm sorry I couldn't come by sooner
and say hello. I had errands.

Sure. I'm sure Principal Oak
wants to see you.

-[bell rings]
-Huh? So, that'll be all for today!

-Off you go!
-[all] Right!

[women squealing]

What a popular person.

[Lana] Ilima's special!

So special!
Known as the Pokémon School Prince!

-[both] Mm-hm.
-A prince?

-Amazing.
-It sure is!

There are so many legends about Ilima
you can't keep track of them!

Supposedly the smartest student
our school has ever produced,

Ilima graduated in no time.

Then he became an exchange student
in the Kalos region to keep studying.

Legend also says Ilima won half
the trophies in the principal's office!

-Yeah?
-There's even a fan club.

So many people brought birthday presents
that Officer Jenny had to direct traffic!

[Sophocles] Ilima brought a wilted flower
back to full bloom and jumped down

from the tree next to the school!

And is so beloved by Pokémon that
Komala opened its eyes to get a look!

-It opened its eyes?
-Awesome!

I have to record this data!
It's the discovery of the century!

-Wow, I want to see this!
-So do I!

Dream on. I'm sure Ilima's too busy.

Wow! I wonder if Komala's eyes
look like a Whismur's.

Or Komala's eyes might look
like a Mudbray's!

It's possible for Komala
to have Jigglypuff's sparkly eyes.

[Ash] That would be cool, too!

[all] I want to see those eyes so bad.

Mm. Lumiose Galettes are scrumptious!

I Like-ou, eat Plen-tei and Chewy-cune.

That makes me happy that
you're pleased with my little gift.

So, tell me, how do you like living
in the Kalos region?

There are so many strong Trainers
in the Kalos League

and they battle mightily
and sharpen each other's skills.

-It's exciting and a lot of fun.
-Yeah, that place is the real deal.

I've got a dream. To someday take
the Pokémon League's excitement

and bring it here to the Alola region
for everyone to witness!

What do you mean?

I want to establish a Pokémon League
right here in Alola.

Now, it's not like I'm going do it today,

but given your experience, I would
like you to be a part of it when I do.

I'd love to be involved.
Please do let me know!

Some of our trainers would be thrilled
to hear that.

-[knocking]
-[Ash] Professor?

-Speaking of which...
-Huh?

I didn't realize
the rest of you were still here.

We were hoping we could ask
some questions.

[all] There are legends about you
we'd like to ask about!

Uh... sure.

Eevee. The Evolution Pokémon.
A Normal type.

Eevee can evolve into
many different Pokémon.

-[squeals]
-Exactly what would you like to see?

-Komala, of course!
-Komala?

Oh, there you are.
It's kind of a reunion, isn't it?

[yawns and snores]

-Wow!
-And it's rolling on its own!

[Rotom] Its eyes might open!
Recording, on!

-[Ilima] Komala! It's nice to see you.
-[snores]

-[all gasp]
-Maybe.

[yawns and snores]

-Wait. That's it?
-At least a little peek.

Well, I'm not going to give up!
This is big news!

Big! Come on, Komala! Ilima is here!

[grunts]

[Tupp] They came at me like
whoosh and I dodged it like bam!

-[Rapp] You're so cool.
-[tires screech]

-How was it?
-Well, you sure called it right!

That dude who's all high and mighty
was at the Pokémon School.

Yeah, they were talking
about that dude in town.

Always the center of attention,
no matter what!

What's the problem
between you and this dude?

That dude stole something
really precious from me

and I'll never forgive that!

-Stole something really precious?
-No way! What a horrible dude!

That's why you're gonna get
our buddies right away!

[both] You got it, Bro!

[Ilima] Oh, my. I had no idea
there were stories about me.

So you can see why we were curious.

Legends tend to take on lives
of their own.

-What about Komala?
-It was sleeping the whole time.

[squeals]

-[sighs]
-Pika?

I did think jumping from the school tree
was weird. It's hard to believe.

-The thing is, it's actually half true.
-You're kidding me!

I didn't know there was
a Pokémon diving board.

-Pokémon diving board?
-[Sophocles] Part of the water sport

where Trainer and Pokémon jump
off of a diving board together.

I say simple is best!

It's great to simply enjoy your dive
with your partner.

-All set, Popplio?
-Pop!

-[pants]
-[both squeal happily]

[giggling]

-Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
-That felt great!

[Ash] All right,
time for guess who to dive!

-Diving from way up there?
-Good luck!

-Here we go!
-Pika!

Pika!

[all gasp]

-[screams]
-Pika!

What happened, Ash?

[grunts and groans]

-Maro! Maro!
-I'll show you guys how it's done!

-You're going to dive with Marowak?
-But of course! Let's get on with it!

Maro! Marowak!

Maro...

-I thought so.
-Hm? Marowak?

-Hey, come on in! The water's fine!
-[giggling]

-We're next!
-Steenee!

-My secret somersault jump technique!
-Check out our spinning dive!

I think we should try it, too.

What a nice dive!

-My Tapu Koko dive!
-[squeals]

Buzzwole. Go!

Eevee! Eevee!

Excellent! You've all really improved.

-Great!
-Thanks! I'd like to see you dive, too!

-Yeah!
-Do it, please!

[clears throat]
Well, then, don't mind if I do.

Here we go! [grunts]

-Starting from a handstand?
-[chuckles]

[all gasp]

-[Ash] Your dive was awesome, Ilima!
-[Lana] And in perfect sync with Eevee!

[Ilima] We've been together a long time.

But wouldn't Eevee be even more powerful
if it evolved into a Vaporeon?

-I don't get why it's still an Eevee.
-You're right.

Evolving your Pokémon is
one way to make it stronger.

But it's not the only way.
Evolving isn't everything.

Eevee's powerful the way it is.

[gasps] A Z-Ring!

I've never seen that crystal.

I know that
because I've read all about it!

Isn't that the Z-Crystal
meant specifically for Eevee?

Right. That's one of the main reasons
I came back.

So I could get my hands on an Eevium Z.
I want to keep Eevee the way it is,

while making it stronger
at the same time.

Keep Eevee the same?

Yes! That's just like me and Pikachu!

Pikachu's going to stay Pikachu,
and get stronger, too!

-Pikachu!
-We're working hard on our Z-Moves

for when we do the island challenge!

Really? You too, Ash?

Uh-huh! I really want to check out
Eevee's Z-Move

and the best way to do that is
have a battle!

I think you're right. Let's battle!

[all] Who's that Pokémon?

[all] Hey, hey, it's Grimer!

[Grimer] Grimer! Grime!

[Mallow] Ash is amazing!
He's battling Ilima!

-[Lana] I can't wait!
-Yay for Ilima!

We're cheering for you!

[girls] Go, go, Ilima, go!
Go, go, Ilima, go!

Incredible.

We need to make a lot
of noise and cheer for Ash!

All right, Ash, do it!
Battle really hard and win it all!

Huh? Hey, thanks!

Then let's get this started!

-Eevee, ready to go?
-Eevee!

-Let's do it, buddy!
-Pika!

-Huh?
-[engines rev]

[all] Huh?

[tire screeches]

We're having a battle. You need
to get off the b*ttlefield right now.

Whatever you want,
we can talk about it later.

Oh! Dude's as pretentious as you said.

Talk about snooty vibes.

I think this is the perfect time
to talk right now.

See? It's so not cool that you still
haven't evolved your Eevee yet.

Normal types are so drab!

Bro's Pokémon is way cooler than yours!

I've got a Salandit,
which is a Fire and Poison type.

It's seen a bunch of battling!

The truth is it's going to evolve
and you're going down!

Excuse me for asking, but who are you?

-[groans]
-You don't remember my bro?

Terrible! After you stole
something precious from him.

Something precious?

That's right. You stole my glory days,
the days of my youth!

-[all] Tupp, you're great!
-Hm?

[chuckles] Thanks! You think so?

You've already got
a Pokémon partner. Cool!

-It's really not that big of a deal.
-Who's that Pokémon, Ilima?

It's my partner Eevee.

[all] It's the cutest thing! [giggling]

[chuckles]

In that case, I'll win them over
with my coolness and personality!

Hey, ladies, can I buy you
some Moomoo Milk?

-Really? That would be so cool!
-That's right.

I'm as cool as a summer breeze.

Huh? Huh?

[squealing]

[chuckles]

You ended my glory days
and now you're gonna pay big time!

-Now, that's what I call holding a grudge!
-Be quiet! It's all Ilima's fault!

It's because the dude's so popular
that other guys don't stand a chance!

I'm sorry. I didn't mean any harm.

Don't say you're sorry!
You're ticking me off even more.

So, I've decided I'm going
to reclaim my glory days.

-All you guys are with me, aren't you?
-That's right!

-Give me my glory days!
-We hate good-looking guys!

I'm gonna make you cry ugly tears!

"Ew, Ilima is so uncool!"
That's what all the girls will be saying!

So there! And we're all here
to lend a hand!

-All right, guys, let's go!
-[all] Yeah!

-Let's go, girls!
-[all] All right!

[Pokémon chitter and hiss]

-This is crazy!
-We can battle, too, and give you a hand!

No, I'll deal with this.
They're only after me. It's fine!

[giggles] Ilima's so cool!

Oh! Pretentious punk!

Let's get that Mr. Good Looking!

-Yeah!
-Come on!

[Pokémon chitter and hiss]

Go, go, Ilima! You the best!
Show them who's the boss.

Here we come!

-Eevee, use Quick att*ck!
-Ee! [squeals]

You're wasting your cute time trying
to b*at an overwhelming force like us!

-Eevee! Baby-Doll Eyes!
-Eevee!

[sighing and groaning]

[all] Eevee's so cute!

-All right! Now use Swift!
-Eevee! Vee!

[all groan]

-What happened?
-Our force was underwhelming!

Don't back down! We still got the numbers.
It's just an Eevee! Come out, Salandit!

-Go, Zubat!
-Garbodor, Venoshock!

[screeches and growl]

-Eevee, keep your distance!
-Eevee!

-Use Wing att*ck!
-[screeches]

Dodge it, Eevee!

All right, Salandit, Flame Burst!

[grunts]

-No, Eevee!
-No! No! Ilima!

Finally I win! My glory days
are coming back!

-You go, big bro!
-So cool!

-[Ilima] Um...
-Huh?

I'm sorry to put a damper
on all of your fun, but...

-[grunts and squeals]
-See, we're just getting warmed up!

-[Zipp] No way!
-[Rapp] Eevee's totally fine!

The thing is, Normal types aren't flashy

but having very few weaknesses
is a real asset.

Work with them
and they become quite dependable!

Simple is best, I always say!

-[grunts]
-What should we do?

We should do anything
and everything we can,

-just as long as I don't lose!
-[all] Right!

[Ilima] Well, you've got determination.
It's only fair that I give it my all, too.

Time for a Z-Move. A special Z-Move
that only Eevee is able to use!

A special Z-Move?

-A call to our friends!
-Eevee!

Vee!

[Ilima] Now, from beyond
the ground and sky,

I ask you to please lend
your powers to my Eevee.

[both] Huh?

Glace!

Use Extreme Evoboost!

-Huh? Hey, what's that?
-What's going on?

-They're Eevee?
-No!

[Rotom] It's Umbreon, Espeon,

Leafeon, Sylveon,

Glaceon, Flareon and Jolteon!

-[grunts]
-And Vaporeon is here as well!

Wow!

-[all] Sure is pretty!
-Anyone know what just happened?

Our lovely friends just enhanced
all of Eevee's exceptional power.

Now, its power is like
nothing you've ever seen before!

Eevee!

So, I'd say we're ready to go!

-Hey. I feel weird.
-That Z-Move's no fair.

So cute and cool!

I'm posing as fast as I can!

Ah! This is bad! Rapp and the others
have all been smitten!

-Smitten?
-[squealing and giggling]

We were supposed to b*at you
by outnumbering you, but you cheated!

You know you weren't supposed
to call in reinforcements!

It wasn't my intention to cheat.

Time to show what we're made of!

-Let's do it, Zipp!
-You got it, Tupp!

Okay Salandit, use Flame Burst!

All right, Garbodor, Venoshock!

Eevee, use Last Resort!

Eevee!

[gasping]

Vee!

[both] Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

[Tupp screams]

[girls] We sure hope to see
you really soon, Ilima! Bye!

[all gasp]

Oh, Ilima? You're the coolest guy
we've ever seen!

[chuckles]

Breon.

Espe.

Leafeon.

Eevee!

Ilima! That was awesome!
What a Z-Move!

Thanks a lot, Ash.

I guess we'll have to save
our match for another time. Okay?

[squeal happily]

There's more than one way to train
to make your Pokémon stronger, all right.

[Ilima]
Pokémon possibilities are limitless.

I believe we should aspire
to reach the zenith

of what we believe in with our Pokémon.
Don't you agree?

[all] Right!

[narrator] After a dazzling Z-Move,

the likes of which our heroes
have never seen before,

they've caught but a glimpse of Ilima's
many accomplishments,

as the journey with Ilima continues!
