21x40 - Dummy, You Shrunk the Kids!

Post by bunniefuu »

[narrator] The Pokémon School
has a guest teacher today.

I wonder who that visitor could be.

Alola!

-Uh, Faba, what are you doing here?
-I simply put a request in with Lusamine.

I told her that I wanted all of you
to experience the joy of science.

You can call me Professor.

Professor! Doesn't that have
a nice scholarly ring to it?

Whatever you say, I guess.

Professor, science is awesome!
But what kind of science?

Good question. I'll just show you!

But one more thing. Moving forward,
call me Inventions Director!

It has an intelligent ring to it,
don't you think?

That's a lot of names.

Never mind. What's that?

Inventions Director,
is this part of the lesson?

Precisely!

This is a Poké Ball,
which you are all familiar with.

Have you ever realized

what a brilliant culmination
of science and technology this is?

Take, for example,
a massively tall Alolan Exeggutor!

Or perhaps we should consider
a massively heavy Snorlax!

Just think, this technology holds
any Pokémon, regardless of size!

Wow! It really is cool.

With the Poké Ball as inspiration,
I've invented an incredible machine

that stores anything inside this capsule,
regardless of its weight or its size!

[Faba] Presenting the Super-Duty
Tidy Up Faba Deluxe!

No matter the size, with a simple touch
of a button on this brilliant device...

it'll make whatever you place
inside of it itty-bity...

and store it inside this capsule.

-Pika!
-[both] Yay!

[Faba] Then it's a breeze to transport!

Pika!

[Faba] Even a daunting task like moving
will be a walk in the park!

-That's amazing!
-[laughs]

-The invention of the century!
-Please, show us!

I'm happy to.

I'll just shrink this blackboard
and store it inside the capsule.

Tidy Up, on!

-Oh, my.
-Hey, nothing happened.

No! That can't be! Uh... Eh!

[all] Mm.

No change at all.

It worked perfectly when I tested it.
[whimpers]

-Poipole! Poipole!
-Have you tried a reboot?

Glad I thought of that!

That should do the trick! Tidy Up, on!

Encore!

-[machine whirs]
-[all] Huh?

[all] Oh!

[all scream]

What's going on?

-Something unexpected!
-[both scream]

-Huh?
-[whimpers]

-Pika!
-[whimpering]

Ah!

-Huh? [groans]
-[screams]

Poi?

Poipole!

-[all] Huh?
-No!

-Ash, no!
-Lillie, Sophocles!

Togedema!

[Mallow and Kiawe pant]

[grunts] They're gone.
Are they in the capsule?

Negative.
My invention simply stopped working.

They disappeared, all three of them.

-[all] Huh?
-We have a mystery!

Which means it's time
for Alolan Detective Rotom!

-[Ash] Hey!
-[both] Huh?

-Did I just hear a voice?
-Huh?

[Ash] It's me! It's Ash!

That's Ash! But where are you?

-[Lillie] Over here, everyone!
-Huh?

-[Sophocles] Over here! Over here!
-Huh?

Pika!

Pika.

♪ Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele
Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini ♪

Poipole?

All right, what's going on?

-[Poipole squeals]
-[Lillie] We've been shrunk.

-[Sophocles] Is this for real?
-Impossible!

-It's almost like they've become...
-Tiny figurines.

[Kukui] It's almost like
they used the Pokémon move, Minimize.

-Faba, why?
-[Kiawe] What have you done?

Now, now, no worries!

Everything's fine! This additional capsule
will solve the problem.

If you'll excuse me...

Hold on! What's going on?

Please be quiet. Mm.

All right, you're next. [sighs]
You, too. Huh.

-I can't breathe.
-It's tight in here.

-[groans]
-This feels really weird.

And now, you'll be normal
once I let you out!

Normal. Normal. There!

[all] Ugh!

-They're still small.
-Faba!

Ugh! This can't be happening!

Lusamine will be so angry! [wails]

-Uh, you can get us back to normal, right?
-Of course I can!

-Failure Director.
-That is not my title!

I'm going to check my invention
and I need you to help me out!

At your service!

-Hurry up, please.
-[Togedemaru] Toge.

Huh? No, Togedemaru.
We've got an emergency.

-[Ash] Sophocles!
-Huh?

[Ash] Riding Pikachu is super fun!

-It's great! So, come on.
-[groans]

-Pika!
-[Ash] Yeah. [laughs]

-Oh, boy.
-[Ash laughs]

-[Sophocles grunts]
-[Togedemaru squeals happily]

-I'm jealous.
-Jealous?

You've got to fix this right away!

I'm on it! I'm completely focusing on it!

Scanning program!
Ready, Rotom Dex? Run it, now!

Roger!

[bleeps]

-Pika! Pika!
-[Ash] Yeah! [laughs]

Pika!

-[Togedemaru squeals]
-[Sophocles] Oh, no!

[groaning and screaming]

[all scream and groan]

-Oh, no!
-[screaming]

-Uh-oh.
-[all groan]

-[groans]
-Thank goodness for air.

But wait. Aren't we floating away?

[screams] Over there!

-[Ash] We're getting sucked in!
-[screaming]

[screaming]

-Oh, no! We have to go after them!
-Sorry, Rowlet! It's an emergency!

-Go after Ash and the others!
-[hoots]

[trills]

Stop flying in your sleep!

Professor, could the Ultra Guardians
deploy? It's a code red.

-Right. Of course.
-[grunts]

-Pika!
-I'm coming, too! Ugh!

-You're staying with me!
-Yes, Professor.

[all grunt]

[all] Exeggutor!

Wonder where we'll end up.

Don't worry! It's really kind of fun.

I don't know. We've wandered
so far away from the school by now.

-[banging]
-[all] Huh?

Hm?

-Ah!
-[Lillie] It's a Mudsdale!

[Sophocles] It's huge!

[all] Huh?

[all scream]

-[Snowy whimpers and pants]
-Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pika! Pika! Pi! Pi!

[all] Who's that Pokémon?

[all] It's Tsareena!

[Tsareena] Tsareena!

[all cough then groan]

[sighs] We're finally safe.

Everything can be very exhausting
when you're teensy-weensy.

Togede.

[groans]

-Rattata!
-[all scream]

-[Lillie] It's a Rattata!
-It's huge!

Rattata never get hungry, do they?

-Don't count on it.
-[growls and roars]

-Togede! Ah!
-[groans]

[yells and whimpers]

Ma! Togede!

-[Sophocles] Togedemaru!
-[Ash] You got us out of a jam!

-[Lillie] I've decided!
-[both] Huh?

-[Ash] Decided what?
-I'm prepared to be this size forever!

Because we haven't the foggiest idea when
we'll be able to return to normal size.

[Sophocles] Huh? You can't do that!

-[Ash] She's right.
-Huh?

It'll be just fine!
It's like we're Pokémon now, and it's fun!

What are you talking about?
We're smaller than Togedemaru, aren't we?

[gibbering]

-[Ash] Dedenne!
-[gibbering]

-They're adorable.
-Ah. Please don't discharge.

Togede!

[amazed gibbering]

[Snowy] Huh?

-Pika! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi!
-Vul! Vul! Vul! Vul! Vul!

[groans] I can't take this! Let's get back
to the Pokémon School right away!

Whoa, Sophocles.

Our lives won't be easy moving forward.

That'll be all. Did everyone take notes?

[all] Yes!

[groaning]

[groans]

It's heavy.

All right. Next ones up are
Ash, Lillie, and Sophocles!

Oh! That's easy for you to say.

It's not going to work!

I can't take this! [sobs]
I want to go home!

Maybe they can get us back
to our normal sizes there!

[Ash] I want to try out being this size
just a little longer!

Haven't we tried it enough by now?

Huh? Ah!

-Come on, Sophocles, it's a blast!
-Hurry up and join us!

Oh! No! Don't leave me!

Oh. Argh! Togedemaru!

[Togedemaru] Maru!

Awesome!

This is so much fun!

[woman ] You gather a bunch of petals
and then you dry them in the sun.

[woman ] Oh, okay.

-[woman ] Put them in a room...
-Huh?

-...and it will smell lovely!
-[woman ] What a wonderful idea!

[woman ] It's just delightful.

Did you see anything?

Uh, nothing. The problem is
they're just so small. [grunts]

-[Kiawe] Pikachu?
-[Mallow] Snowy's there as well!

Let's go follow them!

[birds chirping]

Hold on. Where's Sophocles?

He was just following us a moment ago.

-Mur...
-[both scream]

-Krow!
-[both scream]

[screaming and grunting]

[both grunt and scream]

[Ash groans]

-Huh?
-Oh, my stars!

[Lillie] Alola, Anela!

-Alola. Happened to you, too, huh?
-[both] Huh?

-Hey, Ash! Hi, Lillie!
-[Ash] Huh? Sophocles!

Sorry. I got a little hungry. [munches]

-You must be starving, too! Dig right in!
-All right!

But it's all too big for our current size.

We can't even peel the skin.

Aw, I guess you're right.

-[thumping]
-[both scream]

[screaming]

[grunts and groans]

Oh, no, this won't do!

Everyone! Help pick them up!

[both groan]

[Ash] Huh?

Persian!

-[Ash pants]
-A Persian!

I wonder that might be
the Persian that bullied Litten.

Huh? That one?

[all scream] Here it comes!

-Please, Togedemaru! Wake up!
-[all pant]

[panting and screaming]

-Ash, over there!
-[Ash pants] Right!

[all pant and grunt]

[groans] That was too close.

-[thudding]
-[all] Huh?

-[both whimper]
-What do you want?

Persian. Purr.

[gasps]

Togedemaru, are you okay?

[whimpers]

-[bleeping]
-Hm?

This is Mallow! I found Togedemaru!

Maybe Ash and the others are nearby!

-Persian! Persian! Persian! Persian!
-[all pant]

Why in the world
is that Persian targeting us?

I don't know! It doesn't want to give up!

-[panting]
-[purrs]

[Ash pants] Oh, no!

[Sophocles] It's a dead end!

[all] Huh?

[grunts] If that's what you want...

Persian!

[pants] Look, Persian!
Stop causing so much trouble!

Tsareena!

-Togedemaru!
-Mallow!

[purrs angrily] Persian!

-Tsareena! It's time to help them out!
-Tsareena!

Tsaree!

-Tsareena!
-Hope they win.

-Do your best, Tsareena! Mallow!
-Okay, let's go, Tsareena!

[both grunt]

-Persian!
-Tsareena!

[groans] Persian!

-[Tsareena grunts]
-[Persian groans]

Persian!

Tsareena!

Ah!

[both] Incredible.

-Persian!
-Now, Trop Kick!

-Tsareena! [grunts]
-[groaning]

Persian!

Tsareena!

-And that was Stomp.
-Tsareena-na!

[purrs angrily]

That Persian still wants to fight!

Tsa? Tsareena!

Per!

Persian! Persian! Persian!

-Persian! Persian!
-What power...

[Mallow] Tsareena, you seem so grown up.

Tsareena.

Togedemaru!

-Togedemaru!
-[Sophocles laughs]

Ugh! You're quite a load. [groans]

-Pika! Pika!
-[Kiawe panting]

[both screaming and panting]

-Pikachu! [laughs]
-Yay! It's Snowy!

-[Lana] Thank goodness!
-Pikachu!

Pikachu and Snowy showed us
how to get here.

-Well, that's pretty cool!
-Snowy, thanks so much!

Seriously, thanks a lot, buddy.

Pi...

-Pika...
-Huh?

-Pi...
-[Ash] Huh?

-Pi...
-[Ash] Huh? Oh.

-Pi...
-Huh?

-[sneezes]
-[all scream]

Argh!

[all] Huh?

We're normal!

-Pika!
-Snowy!

-Pika! Pika! Pikachu!
-[laughs]

[gasps and laughs]

-Oh! What a relief!
-To! Togede!

-Maru! Maru!
-All's well that ends well.

They got back to normal
from Pikachu's sneeze?

I'm speechless.

[whimpers]
What happened to you, Persian dear?

[Ash] Wow, that was fun!

-[Lillie] A fascinating experience!
-[Sophocles] I've had enough for one trip.

I'm sorry about all the troubles we had,
but I'm happy to report

the machine has been
successfully repaired!

And, of course, I helped, too!

So now, once again,
allow me to show you the power

of my Super-Duty Tidy Up Faba Deluxe
with this chair!

[machine whirs]

-Ugh!
-What is it this time?

Toge?

Maru!

[all gasp]

[all scream]

[Kukui]
Faba! What is the meaning of this?

-[Faba] Don't ask me! I don't have a clue!
-Pika!

Togede?

[narrator] Calling this a frenzied day
would be an understatement.

Let's hope Togedemaru
returns to normal size soon,

as the journey, colorful as it is,
continues!
