21x34 - Guiding an Awakening!

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Ash is back on Melemele Island

after successfuly completing
his third Grand Trial.

Our heroes are at a fireworks festival,
complete with big bangs and booms!

[Ash gasps]

[chuckles]

-[Pikachu] Pikachu.
-[Ash] Whoa!

[Rowlet trills]

[Lana] It’s Popplio!

[Lillie] Litten, too!

They’re so cute.

And next up is the finale.

[all gasping and cheering]

That was so amazing!

Memories for a lifetime.

Fireworks are the best!

-Huh?
-Pika?

[all gasping]

[chuckling] Poi. Poi. Poi. Poipole.

[gasps] It looks like
a new evolved form of fireworks!

Yeah, and it’s not over just yet!

That’s odd. It doesn't make sense.

-There’s still some more left?
-Maybe so, like an encore.

Pika?

-What is it?
-Is someone in there?

It's like magic.

-Check it out.
-Pikachu.

[yells]

[all gasping and yelling]

That was a shock.

-I thought my heart was going to stop.
-My heart is still pounding.

Awesome! Awesome! It’s so cool!

It’s like walking fireworks!

How unusual can it get?

[all gasp]

-[Pikachu] Pi.
-[all giggling]

[all gasping]

Bummer. Guess that’s it.

[school bell ringing]

-That fireworks dancer was so amazing!
-I wonder what that was all about.

-A Pokémon?
-If so, an Ultra Beast?

-[chattering]
-Pika. Pika. Pikachu. Pika!

Pikachu... Pika!

[all giggle]

[all] Huh?

-[rings bell in alarm]
-[bleeps]

Ultra Guardians! Quick, to the base!

-Do you think it’s an Ultra Beast?
-Yeah. Let’s hurry up! [grunts]

[chuckles]

[grunts]

Hm!

Clefable.

-There you are. Alola, Ultra Guardians!
-[all] Alola!

Professor Burnet told me
what happened last night.

[Ash] Yeah, at the fireworks.

[Lusamine] So, this humanoid
fireworks being, after investigation,

has been determined to be an Ultra Beast.

[all] Huh?

Ultra Beast?

We also detected an Ultra Wormhole
somewhere near the bay.

We’re currently trying to pinpoint
the exact location of the opening.

So it really was a Pokémon.

Not to mention an Ultra Beast!

You know, that Ultra Beast really liked
to show off, don’t you think?

We have decided to name
this particular Ultra Beast Blacephalon.

[Ash] Blacephalon!

[Wicke] Would you please update,
Rotom Dex?

-[Rotom] Roger! Updating.
-Clefa. [grunts softly]

[Rotom gibbers]

Blacephalon. The Fireworks Pokémon.
A Fire and Ghost type.

Blacephalon surprises opponents by
exploding its head and absorbing energy.

Of course! It kept surprising us
a whole bunch of times.

So it can absorb energy.

That’s pretty strange stuff.

[all] Huh?

[Sophocles] I’m scared, I’m scared,
I’m scared, I’m scared!

Toge!

Wow, Togedemaru, thanks a lot.

[Lillie] Now where is
that backup power supply?

Clefable.

Hey, what was that?

[groans] I could sure do
without that happening.

[Lusamine] We have determined the cause.

-[all] Huh?
-We detected a powerful Ultra Aura

on southern Route on Melemele Island.

All right, Ultra Guardians, off you go!

Ultroger, Lusamine!

Exegg. Exegg.

-Garchomp.
-Flygon.

-Metang.
-Charizard.

-Pika.
-Are you picking up on something?

Pika. Pika.

-Toge.
-Right. Togedemaru too.

-Do you think that it's Blacephalon?
-We’ll find out. Let’s hit it!

[all] Right!

-Pika!
-Toge!

-[Ash] What’s that?
-[Kiawe] It’s not Blacephalon.

[Sophocles] But they detected
a powerful Ultra Aura.

Does that mean
that’s an Ultra Beast, too?

-Is it attacking?
-It’s sparking!

[all yell]

We can’t get close!

Executing an Ultra Catch
is going to be hard.

Wonder what it’s doing.

[Lillie] It looks like
it’s absorbing electricity.

Maybe that's why it att*cked us all
because it didn’t like being interrupted

while it was eating a meal.

-[bleeping]
-Huh?

We were just able to confirm
the situation that you're dealing with.

And what a surprise,
another Ultra Beast appears

just as we’re trying to deal
with Blacephalon!

A new Ultra Wormhole must have opened
from Blacephalon’s explosions last night,

which allowed that one to appear here.

All electrical power in the area
is being drastically reduced.

We believe the Ultra Beast
is absorbing it.

Please send a message to stop
supplying power to that area immediately.

Yes. Right away.

-The electricity is off!
-So, it’s time for an Ultra Catch!

-No power. It’s really mad now!
-It’s angry and sparking!

Sophocles! Let’s distract it with
Electric-type moves from our Pokémon!

Got it!

Pika.

-Charja.
-Toge.

-Now let’s get ready for an Ultra Catch!
-Right!

Let’s all throw at the same time.
One of them should make contact.

Poipole. Poipole.

Poi. Poi. Poi.

Poi. Poi. Poi.

Get away, Poipole!
It won’t work without electricity!

[grunts] Poi. Poi. Poi.

Okay, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Togedemaru, use Zing Zap!
Charjabug, use Discharge!

Pikachu!

Charjabug!

-Here it comes!
-Togedemaru!

Toge!

Toge. Toge. Toge. Togedemaru!

[Ash] Over here, over here!
Come and get some yummy electricity!

[both panting]

All right, now!

-[Kiawe gasps]
-Is that...?

-Could it be?
- From yesterday?

[both panting]

-Toge. Toge.
-Pika?

-[all sigh]
-Blacephalon.

With lots more power.

[all] Who’s that Pokémon?

[all] It’s Blacephalon!

-What do you think they’re doing?
-Boom, boom, and spark, spark!

A boom-boom-spark-spark battle, huh?

What is that?

Wait. Look close.

It does look kind of like
they’re competing with each other.

Maybe it’s time for some serious
Ultra Catching!

Get your Beast Balls, everyone!

Right!

Let’s do it! [grunts]

Go, Beast Ball!

-All right!
-All right!

-Let’s go!
-Let’s go!

-[gasps]
-No use!

The Beast Balls are bouncing off
of all that booming and sparking!

[Lillie] I don’t think they’ll be stopping
anytime soon.

-Awesome!
-That's neat.

It’s like outer space!

This is no time to stand around and watch!

-Wow, this doesn’t look good!
-You think?

[bleeps]

Sorry for the late analysis.
Here’s a follow-up.

First, the name for the new Ultra Beast
is Xurkitree.

Xurkitree.

Xurkitree is the Glowing Pokémon,

and as you can tell by the look,
it’s an Electric type

that unleashes powerful electrical shocks
using stored electricity. Be careful.

But, Mother, how did this happen
in the first place?

Because of their powerful performances,

they’re here competing
with all their might.

We think it's the first time
both Blacephalon and Xurkitree

have met someone who can match
their own capabilities.

-[Kiawe] So, they’re rivals.
-[Ash] And neither wants to lose.

[Burnet] It’s hard to tell what
will happen if this competition escalates.

We need to send them back
to their world as soon as we can!

Makes sense!

But the Beast Balls were deflected
by the fighting.

-Ah! I just got a great idea!
[Sophocles] What, what?

If they want a performance,
they’ll get one.

We’re going to launch
even bigger fireworks than theirs!

-Bigger fireworks?
-But how, Ash?

We’ll borrow power from Pikachu
and the others.

Pi? Pikachu?

We’ll be able to make some super-flashy
fireworks if we combine your moves!

Of course!

If we can put on a flashier performance ,
we should attract their attention.

Then we’re going to unleash a Z-Move
that’ll break up the action

like never before!

Lycanroc, I choose you!

[growls]

It’s up to you, Turtonator!

Turtonator.

-Steenee, ready to go?
-Steenee!

-Let’s do our very best.
-Pop.

-You know I’m counting on you, Snowy!
-Snow.

All right! Super Pokémon fireworks, go!

[all] Yeah!

Pikachu, use Electroweb!

Pikachu! Pika!

Togedemaru, use Zing Zap!
Charjabug, use Discharge!

Charja!

-Now use Bubble Beam!
-Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!

Okay, Steenee, Magical Leaf, let’s go!

Steenee!

-Charizard, Turtonator, use Flamethrower!
-Charizard!

-Garchomp!
-Flygon!

Altaria!

-Use Fire Blast, now!
-[all grunting]

Snowy. Top it off with Powder Snow!

Vulpix!

[all gasp]

Poi. Poi. Poi.

-[Burnet] Impressive.
-[Wicke] It’s brilliant.

[Lusamine] Well done!

-Awesome!
-Sparkle and twirl too!

[Ash] Nice. Now keep glowing.

[Kiawe] Pokémon fireworks
are in full bloom!

How do you like that, you two?

You’re looking at our full-power
performance, see?

More amazing than yours, isn’t it?

Now, Lycanroc, let’s do it!

[howls]

[grunts]

Here we go!

Lycanroc!

-Full power, now!
-[growling]

Use Splintered Stormshards!

[growling]

[growls and howls]

[grunts]

[snarls and growls]

-We did it!
-On the nose!

Incredible power!

Let’s do it with one Beast Ball! [grunts]

-Yeah, me, too! [grunts]
-Now, Steenee!

Steenee!

-Pika.
-Got them!

-[Lana] Xurkitree!
-[Lillie] Blacephalon!

[all] They’ve been Ultra Caught!

[Wicke] Well done, everybody!

[Burnet] They’ve sure become dependable.

Yes. Faced with such a critical situation,
they responded exceedingly well.

[narrator] The Ultra Guardians have
accomplished their mission once again.

Now, though they don’t know
when another Ultra Beast will appear,

one thing is certain,
the peace of Alola depends on them.

You can do it, Ultra Guardians!

However, their mission
is not quite complete.

[all gasp]

So, basically, we’re getting requests
from venues located all over the island

for you to recreate the wonderful
performance you just gave to the world.

-Do you think we could do that again?
-Does anybody remember the steps?

-Man, it happened so fast.
-So, what should we do?

-Charge for admission.
-[all] Huh?

[narrator] As the journey continues!
