21x24 - Love at First Twirl!

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] What's this?

There's something glowing, floating,
darting above the ocean's surface tonight.

Why, that just might be a Pokémon!

Let's take a closer look.

Poipole! [trills and giggles]

Huh?

Poipole! [trills and giggles]

Chin!

[squeals and wails]

Chin! Chou!

[trills and giggles]

Chin! Chin! Chou! Chin! Chou!
Chin! Chin! Chin! Chin! Chin! Chou!

Poip?

[squeals and trills]

Poip! Huh?

All right, use Thunderbolt!

Pikachu!

[growling and grunting]

Poip!

[squeals and giggles]

[distant squealing]

-[pants]
-Pika! Pik! Pik! Pik!

-Poipole!
-Pik??

-Is something wrong?
-Pika? Pika?

-Pika?
-Poipole.

My cousin, who's the director
of the Hokulani Observatory

on Ula'ula Island, took every one
of the pictures that you see here.

I started stargazing back
when I was really young,

after I received
a cool telescope for a gift.

That's great! The Alolan night sky
is incredibly beautiful.

It's great for people
who love to stargaze!

Sure is! Big Mo told me that's why people
from all over the world

flock to the Hokulani Observatory
and stargaze like crazy!

Right. About Big Mo, he's my cousin.

Not only that,
Molayne, Sophocles's cousin,

is quite a skilled Pokémon Trainer,
as well as a friend of mine.

-Whoa! Hokulani Observatory. Sounds cool!
-Pika!

-I want to go there!
-[Sophocles] I know you'll love it, Ash!

[Ash] Let's all go!
We can make it into a field trip!

-Pika? Pi?
-[Kukui chuckles] Sure!

[Mallow] Hey! Sophocles is
in the middle of his presentation!

-Stop chitchatting.
-[Kiawe and Ash] Sorry.

[all laugh]

Big Mo's always telling me
how he's convinced

that there are a whole lot of undiscovered
Pokémon living way out in space.

Wow, what I wouldn't give
to meet a space Pokémon.

I hope you'll allow me
to include it in my data when you do.

That's because I want to be a Pokédex that
documents a newly discovered Pokémon.

Rotom, it's a deal!

So, that concludes my presentation.

Thank you, Sophocles.
Excellent presentation.

Gee, thanks.

-Toge.
-Charjabug.

[bell rings]

Yeah! It's lunchtime and I'm starving!

I guess being really nervous
can work up an appetite!

-You were great, Sophocles!
-Excellent!

-Thanks, you two.
-[Ash] Looks delicious!

Wow! A Pikachu sandwich!

How cute can you get?

I'm sure Mimo would be happy
if I made that for her.

[Lana] Who made this one?

[Rotom] That's the handiwork
of Professor Burnet.

[Lana] Wow, she really knows how to cook!

[grunts] Okay, g*ng. Here you go!

[all gasp]

-[Ash] Wake up, Rowlet. It's lunchtime.
-[hoots]

Torracat! Lycanroc! Lunch!

-Roc! Roc!
-Cat!

-Huh? Pikachu, where did you go?
-[meows]

-Poipole! [gibbers and giggles]
-Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi!

Pika?

-Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi!
-Poipole! [gibbers]

-Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi!
-Poipole!

-[gibbers]
-Pika? Pika?

-[gibbers and squeals]
-Pika?

[both giggle]

Pika!

Pikachu! Pika! Pika!

[giggles and gibbers]

Pika! Pika! Mwah! Pika! Pika! Pika!

-Pika!
-[Poipole gasps]

-Pikachu. Pika? Pika?
-[gibbers]

-Pikachu!
-[both munch]

[both squeal happily]

-[giggles hysterically]
-Uh...

[both giggle]

Torracat? Torr?

[sniffs] Lycan?

-Pikachu?
-[Rowlett hoots]

-[all] Pikachu?
-[Mallow] Pikachu?

-Steenee!
-[Rotom] Where are you?

-Maru! Maru!
-I'm worried, too, Togedemaru.

-[sobs]
-[Charjabug mutters]

-Turto.
-Maro.

[Kiawe] It's not normal for Pikachu
to just disappear like this.

Hm.

The only explanation that makes sense
is Pikachu had a reason to leave campus.

Vul.

[hoots and trills]

Huh? Hey, Rowlet!

All right! I'm going to go outside
and look around, too!

[Rotom] Wait for me!

-Torra!
-Lycan!

-I think we should help them, too!
-Right!

-[Jessie] Greetings!
-[Meowth] Rumbling tummies, folks?

-You want a malasada?
-Then choose the best! Bewear brand!

Using the finest sweet honey in the land!

All natural ingredients
for a biodegradable you!

Wobbuffet!

[hoots and trills]

Huh? Huh?

-[screams]
-[all] Huh?

[hoots]

Mimikyu, use Wood Hammer!

[hoots and trills]

-Uh, was that who I think it was?
-All signs point to yes.

-That was a classic case of whack-a-Twerp.
-Wobbuffet!

[hoots]

-Huh?
-[Poipole squeals]

[giggling and squealing]

[hoots angrily]

[giggles] Pika!

[hoots]

[squeals]

[trills]

[hoots and croaks]

Pika?

-Pi! Pika!
-Poipole.

Pika! Pikachu!

Pika! Pika! Pika! Pika!

-[Poipole trills]
-Pika! [yells]

[whines]

Pika!

[whines and sobs]

-[sobs]
-Pi?

-Pika?
-[whimpers]

Pika!

-Pika! Pika!
-[squeals]

Here you go. One honey and one honey plus!

Thank you.

-[all] Have a honey-licious kind of day!
-Wobbu! Wobbuffet!

-Mareanie! Nie! Nie!
-[hisses]

What is it, Mimikyu?

Now, that's the Twerp's Pikachu,
but that... I'm clueless.

-It's a purple cone head.
-[Jesse and Meowth] Whoa!

Poipole! Poipole! Poipole!

Did it say something?
Hey! What did it say?

Oy, sounds like nothing
but gobbledygook to me.

It said something! It sounded a lot like
it was talking about "po-poi pa-pool."

Just because I can hear that yapping
doesn't mean I know how it translates!

Wobbuffet!

It isn't even contained
within my reference book.

Then that means
it must be a super-rare Pokémon.

Then game on!

You know, it's possible it could be

one of those top-of-the-line,
exotic Ultra Beasts.

And whose is it?

-[all] Ours!
-Wobbu!

[all] Who's that Pokémon?

It's Torracat!

[Torracat] Torracat!

Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pika!

-Poipole! [whimpering]
-Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi!

-[Poipole whimpers]
-Pika?

[whimpers]

Pika? Pikachu!

-[Poipole pants]
-[Rowlet trill]

-[Jessie] I detect a bit of fatigue.
-Pika?

-[trills]
-Poipole.

[Jessie] Did you just ask, Pika?
We're here to find out!

Cutting though the chaos
is what we're all about!

The beauty so radiant the flowers
and moon hide in shame.

A single flower of evil
in this fleeting world, Jessie!

The nobly heroic man of our times!

The master of darkness fighting back
against a tragic world! It's James.

It's all for one and one for all!

A glittering dark star
that always shines bright!

Dig it, while Meowth takes flight!

-[both] Team Rocket, let's fight!
-That's right!

Wobbuffet!

Oops! We just seriously introduced
ourselves to a bunch of Pokémon.

[giggles]

Hey! If you want to laugh,
then look in a mirror!

So, you do understand what it means!

Jessie, laughter
is the universal language.

Hm? You're a brat. Cut out the cute face!

-Three prizes in one!
-This is what I call fun!

-And done!
-Pika!

-[Ash] Cut it out!
-Roc!

Torracat!

[all] Oh, no!

-It's a brand new show!
-Wobbuffet!

[Lycanroc and Torracat snarl]

No, it's not. Pally! Litten evolved!

Dig it. You evolved into
a big, strong Torracat.

Pikachu! Rowlet! Are you okay?

-Pika!
-[Rowlett trills]

Poip!

-Hm? What's this?
-[Rotom] Leave it to me!

[beeping] No data.

Well, no duh.
It's a super-duper rare Pokémon.

Huh?

And it's got the Boss's name on it!

So this purple cone head
will take its rightful place

as we climb the ladder of success!

Mareanie! Make it so!

No, this is not about us!
It's about them! Look out below!

-[James whimpers and groans]
-Mareanie!

Just great. Mimikyu! Shadow Claw, go!

-Pikachu, dodge it and use Iron Tail!
-Pika!

Pi! Ka! Pika! Pika!

-[Mimikyu hisses]
-Pika!

-Mareanie, use Spike Cannon!
-Mareanie!

-Lycanroc, use Rock Throw!
-[howls]

Mimikyu, Shadow Ball, let's go!

[hissess]

-Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!
-Pi! Ka!

-Pikachu!
-Poip! Poip!

Poipole!

[all groan]

[squealing]

[all] We're off with a new blast!

Wobbuffet!

[giggles]

[hiss of spray]

Here. That should take care of it.

Rowlet's poison is completely gone.

-[hoots happily]
-Poipole! Poipole!

Rowlet's health is at %

-[Rowlet trills]
-Lillie, thanks a lot.

I admit it was a surprise
when my mother got in touch with me,

but I'm grateful I was able
to help out!

-Pika! Pika!
-[Rowlet hoots]

-Poipole
-Pika! [giggles]

So, I've never seen that Pokémon before.

Toge!

Isn't it awesome?
Even Rotom doesn't have its data.

You know what?
Pikachu's saying you tickle.

Poipole! Poipole! Poipole! Poipole!

-Poipole! Poipole! Poipole! [giggles]
-Huh?

-You must really like that, don't you?
-I'd say a lot!

[giggles]

Mm. You see, Tapu Koko gave this to me,

so it's important
that I'm the one who holds on to it.

-I hope you understand.
-[grunts angrily]

Fable!

Thank goodness
that it's feeling better now.

[Lillie] Hi, Mother!

[Lusamine] After analyzing the photos
and videos Rotom took,

we've reached the conclusion
that it is indeed an Ultra Beast.

We gave it a name. It's Poipole.
The Poison Pin Pokémon.

Please update your data, Rotom.

Does that mean
we've discovered a new Pokémon?

-Yes.
-[bleeps]

I get to enter a newly discovered
Pokémon into my data! [squeals]

Fitting for a member
of the Ultra Guardians, right?

-Thanks for your help.
-That's a big ultroger!

[bleeps] Poipole.
The Poison Pin Pokémon.

A Poison type.
Ultra Beast entry complete!

Please keep an eye on Poipole, would you?
And update its data regularly.

I'd like you to work with Ash
and remember, I'm here to you help, too.

Are you saying...

Mm-hm. Until we find the Ultra Wormhole
it came from,

I'd like you to take the role
of Poipole's partner.

It's time to try out an Ultra Catch!

Ultroger, Lusamine!

It's going to live with you?
That's wonderful!

-So, where's the Beast Ball?
-Clefable!

-Huh? Thanks, Clefable!
-Pika?

Poipole! Poipole!

I want you to be my partner, Poipole.
We're a family!

You and me, Pikachu and Rowlet.

Don't forget Torracat and Lycanroc
as well! We're all family here!

-Pika! Pika!
-[meows]

-Roc! Roc!
-[hoots]

Poipole! [giggles]

Okay, time to do this! [grunts]

-Huh?
-[gasps]

Let's try it again! [grunts]

Poipole! [giggles]

[grunts and snarls]

-[grunts]
-[squeals happily]

[Ash gasps and pants]

Wait, does that mean...

[pants]

I don't think it wants to be caught.

[squeals happily and giggles]

Ash, it kind of looks like
Poipole is playing.

Maybe it doesn't know
it's supposed to go into the ball.

Yeah, you're right!

[hoots]

Now, watch closely, Poipole.

Rowlet, return!

-[hoots]
-[Poipole] Huh?

All right, Rowlet, come on out!

-[hoots]
-[Ash] Return! Come out!

Return! Come out! Return!

Poipole! [giggles]

Get it now? You go inside of the ball!

-Poipole!
-All right!

[grunts]

-Here it comes, Poipole!
-Poipole! [giggles]

-Poipole!
-Huh?

Poipole!

-[gasps]
-[Poipole giggles]

-Pika!
-Huh?

[all] Huh?

[all giggle]

All right! I just ultra-caught Poipole!

[all cheering]

[Ash] Okay, you can come out now!

Poipole! Poipole! [giggles]

We're glad you're part
of the family, Poipole.

Poipole! [gibbers and giggles]

[gibbering and yelling]

[laughing and yelling]

[giggles]

-[Poipole] Huh?
-Pika! Pika!

[squeals]

-Pika!
-[squealing and giggling]

-Pika! Pika! Pika!
-Poipole

That Poipole sure is quite the prankster.

Yeah. Well, would you look at that!
We've got quite a big family!

Fine with me! I love big families!

-Pika!
-Poi! Poipole!

[grunting and giggling]

[both giggle]

Pika...

-[both] Huh?
-Poipole! [gibbers]

[Poipole giggles]

-[all] Wow!
-It drew Pikachu!

Great job, Poipole!

-You like to draw, huh?
-Poipole!

Pi... Pika! Pikachu!

[giggles]

[narrator] Poipole, an Ultra Beast
prankster with a fondness for Pikachu,

is now a member of the family.

Now, what kind of experiences
lie ahead for them?

Our heroes can't wait to find out,
as the journey continues!
