21x43 - I Choose Paradise!

Post by bunniefuu »

[narrator] This is the ferry terminal
for Melemele Island.

Where are our Pokémon School heroes going?

[chuckles] Hey, look at that. That's the
ferry to the Pokémon Paradise Resort.

-Pi! Pi!
-[all gasp]

-Looking forward to it, too, Dragonair?
-I can hardly wait to go check it out.

Getting reservations
is next to impossible.

Is the Pokémon whatchamacallit
really that popular?

Sure is. But it must be new to you.

[klaxon hoots]

[Sophocles] The Pokémon Paradise Resort
is a spa for Pokémon on Akala Island,

with hot springs, swimming pools,
restaurants and everything that makes it

a really popular vacation spot for guests
from all around the whole world.

Any Pokémon who spends time there
will be an incredibly happy Pokémon.

[giggles]

The Ride Pokémon have been
working nonstop,

and they seem quite worn out
from all the activity.

So Mother sent a message asking
that we take them along

and make sure they get the rest
they deserve.

Since Lusamine was nice enough to get
us into the resort,

-we'll make sure you have a great time.
-[squeals]

-Me, too.
-Let's be good friends, okay, Garchomp?

-Gar!
-Huh?

-[sips]
-Oranguru’s here?

Yes. It's a regular visitor with us.

I never would’ve guessed
in a million years.

It really gets around.

Gu-Gu.

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

♪ We've been preparing, sharing
training, studying A to Z ♪

♪ Bonding, battling, laughing
getting crazy, you and me ♪

♪ 'Cause it's coming soon ♪

♪ We will all meet our destiny
Under the Alolan moon ♪

♪ Pokémon! ♪

[man and woman] Alola!

[woman] Welcome to
the Pokémon Paradise Resort.

[all] Alola!

-Huh?
-Oranguran.

That’s what being a regular’s all about.

So you're the Ultra Guardians party
Lusamine sent.

-What is your area of interest?
-Area?

Our resort is divided into sections based
on your goals. There’s the care area,

where you care for your Pokémon, and the
play area, where you have fun together.

-It's the play area for me.
-Or not.

Ash, we're here to care of
the Ride Pokémon who help us out.

[chuckles] Like I said, the care area.

-Pika! Pika!
-[Ash] Huh?

[Pokémon gibber and giggle]

Looks like those three really like it.
All right.

-[Ash] Everybody out!
-Roc!

-Torracat!
-[hoots]

-And you’re all going to have fun, too.
-Charjabug, knock yourself out.

Turto.

-Wak.
-Charjabug.

Just follow me. It’s right this way.

I'll stay with you.
Pokémon care is number one on my list.

Then I would ask all of you to kindly
proceed to the assessment room.

First we start with basic counseling

and next we recommend a course based on
your Pokémon's physical condition.

It looks as if Charizard
is always carrying heavy items.

We make a lot of Moomoo Milk
deliveries, that’s for sure.

Here’s what I think. I recommend
our fatigue recovery course.

Its movements are quite stiff.
Try the joint care course.

I'm a bit concerned about dryness.
I recommend the moisturizing course.

I'm detecting a teeny bit of stress.
Let's work on that with the active course.

This is so awesome!

All right, this way to the dressing rooms.

-Come on, let's move it quick.
-What’s the rush, Ash? We’re coming.

Ho, ho. They're here.

Following the Twerps’ every move
is the gift that keeps on giving.

And you never look a gift-Twerp
in the mouth.

So catching all those rough and ready
Ride Pokémon and Pikachu

is just what we’re going to do.

-Marean--
-[all yell]

-[Jessie and James] Hey, hey.
-Have a nice day.

-Commence preparations.
-With pleasure.

-Pi... kachu.
-[all gasp]

[giggling and chattering]

-Pika!
-[all giggle]

-Torra? [meows]
-Turto?

-Torracat.
-Tur.

Wow! This place is huge.

The sheer number of hot springs is only
possible because of Wela Volcano.

This area is effective on stiffness,
bruises, sprains, poor circulation--

I'm first! [pants]

Yahoo!

Oh, no. Seems risky to dive like that.

Ah! The water feels great.
So what are you all waiting for?

For you to ask.

-[squeals]
-[laughs]

[both groan]

Flygon just had to jump in like you did,
Ash.

Sorry!

-Flygon!
-Uh... Huh?

-[grunts]
-[Ash laughs]

[both groan]

[grunts]

[squeals]

You both were great. Best dive bombs ever.

-Oh, Ash.
-Altaria.

-Let’s join them, but with more style.
-Altaria.

[whimpers and squeals]

[both groan]

-[Ash laughs]
-Altaria!

Good kids do not imitate the bad kids!

[all laugh]

[yawns]

Looks like you really like this.

Charizard is a big fan of hot springs.

So, Charizard loves hot springs.
Data now up to date.

I’m surprised to see so many Pokémon here
right now. Amazing.

[chuckles] I wonder if Pikachu
and the g*ng are having a good time.

-Pika! Pika!
-[all giggle]

[all laugh]

[giggling and happy squealing]

Pika! Pika!

Marowak!

-Pika!
-[Rowlet hoots]

[all giggle]

-Marow!
-Pika! Pika!

-Marow! Marow!
-Pikachu.

-Torracat.
-Turtonator. Turtonator.

-Marow! Marow!
-Turto.

-[groans]
-[grunts]

Now, now, you mustn’t force them. There
are some who simply don’t like to get wet.

-Torra?
-Pika?

Fear not. We have just the thing for that.
All you need do is climb aboard this boat

and you can ride the rapids
without feeling a single drop.

[all gibber curiously]

Don't be shy. Jump right in,
then straight to the pool.

[all gibber happily]

-Now, don’t be shy, just hop aboard.
-[all gibber happily]

Well, all right. We lied.

-Pika? Pika!
-Poipole!

Turto? Turto!

[Meowth] Snug as six lugs in a rug.

Stealing them is easier
than going through that catching biz.

True, but we still have to secure
our sweet spoils.

[all] And one, two, one, two, one, two...

[Ash] Man, I’m all warmed up.

Hot springs are the best.

-[gasps]
-Huh?

-[gasps]
-[hoots]

Is that... really Altaria?

For a moment,
I didn't think it was the same Pokémon.

So, for now, we split up into
individual courses, got it?

-[Kiawe] Hey.
-Huh?

You go on ahead. With hot springs,
Charizard likes to take its time.

Okay, Kiawe, we'll see you later.

Nothing is more fun than a Twerp
with his guard down.

While they take it easy, we’ll swoop in
like thieves in the dark of night.

Night or day, we’re sure to have
our evil way.

They’ll be so laid back,

all it’ll take is a gust of wind for those
lazy good-for-nothings to fall right over.

Wobbuffet.

[evil laughter]

[all] Who's that Pokémon?

[all] It's Altaria!

[Altaria] Altaria! Altaria!

The spa offers use of a soothing mud bath.
It spurs a Pokémon’s metabolism

as well as nourishes skin and fur
with minerals.

What a great idea.

All right, let’s begin.
Here we go, Altaria.

-[hoots and trills]
-Mm. Mm.

-Huh?
-Altaria!

Altaria! Altaria!

[hoots]

Sorry, Altaria.
This mud isn't for playing in.

-[Jessie] Of course it is.
-Huh?

Our mud is quite effective
when slathered on Trainers.

And since it’s good for you
and your Pokémon, slather away.

In that case,
let's get all muddy together.

-[trills]
-[giggles]

-And that mud is yours.
-Ready, Dragonair?

[gasps then whimpers]

-You're afraid, right?
-[whimpers]

Now look. In times like this, be brave.

-Get it all over with at once. There!
-[squeals]

-Ah!
-[whimpers]

-[gibbers]
-Are you all right?

[hoots happily]

That’s great. They’ve got lots of mud.

-[giggles]
-Dragonair...

How sweet. And there's plenty more
where that came from.

[laughs] It looks like it was made
just for you.

Please use as much of this scented oil
as you'd like. It’s so good for you.

A nice oil massage is perfect
for a Steel-type Pokémon.

We'll concentrate on your joints,
so you can feel nice and relaxed.

Huh. I can't seem to reach.

[grunts] Huh?

Talk about the right tool
for the right job.

Now, doesn't that feel really good,
Metang?

Metang.

-I'm going to make you shiny as a mirror.
-Metang!

Wobbuffet!

-This pool is just incredible.
-[giggling]

Make sure you let your Pokémon
set the pace and swim all your cares away.

[both gasp]

I wasn't sure if Flygon could even swim.
Huh?

[squeals]

[gasps]

It's the Flygon wingstroke.

-Swimming Flygon. Data updated.
-Garchomp!

[gasps]

Garchomp!

Whoa! Garchomp can move!

Swimming Garchomp. Data updated.

[all] Huh?

Hey! You don't need to swim so fast.

Ash, maybe Garchomp is determined
to not get beaten by Flygon,

know what I mean? Like, remember
how competitive it was before?

[Ash] Oh, yeah.

-They’re just like longtime rivals.
-Awesome.

-All right, Garchomp, go!
-Give it your all, Flygon!

-Huh?
-You guys feel free to use these.

Use what?

-Things for cheerleading?
-Yeah!

When a Trainer cheers
on a Pokémon, it gets fired up.

Okay, all together now.

Go get 'em, get 'em, get ‘em,
get ‘em, get ‘em goo!

-Get 'em, get 'em, get ‘em, get ‘em good!
-[Meowth] Win it. Both of you win!

-[both] Win it. Win it. Both of you win!
-[Meowth] Hit ‘em high and low!

Charizard? Today, I’ll do everything I can
to take away that fatigue.

-[grunts]
-Mm?

Hm? I thought that would work.

-All right, maybe here?
-[grunts]

[groans]

[grunts and exhales]

That’s it! Amazing!

Of course. That comes from
massaging , Pokémon.

Now, , !

But who in the world are you?.

Now. Observe this knot of tense muscle.

-Yeah, it's pretty tense all right.
-Now, watch this. Heave... ho!

-It's so tense.
-Soothe that sore muscle.

[Kiawe and James grunt]

[exhales]

[sighs] A good workout.

-Results?
-And how... %.

I put my heart and soul into massage.

My patients
are little more than limp spaghetti.

Those Twerps were cheering so hard
they’re cheered out.

-Which means it’s time...
-To rope the suckers in.

Wobbuffet.

[exhales] This Pokémon Paradise Resort
is worth whatever it costs.

-How'd it go with you?
-Perfectly. Mudpacks make skin smooth.

And Altaria's wings are so fluffy.

Garchomp and Flygon
had an awesome workout.

And Metang loved its oil massage so much,

-it could’ve kept going forever and a day.
-Metang!

-That’s great.
-It's just like Mirror Coat.

-Everybody’s happy, all right!
-So, what do we do next?

-I vote for a flower bath.
-That's a great idea.

-Then let’s head over now.
-Yeah, let’s! Huh?

-I wonder what’s going on.
-Hey.

Hi-ho to
all you good little girls and boys.

We're demonstrating some Pokémon health
and beauty items you can try for free.

-You certainly can’t b*at the price.
-Pokémon health and beauty?

This is a one-day-only event, which means
you are so lucky to be here now.

-I wish I were you.
-So form a queue.

Yeah! You want to give it a try, Garchomp?

Garchomp!

All right, may we have all
our Pokémon clients right over here?

Pokémon Trainers stay put.

Wait.

Now, hold that pose. Ha!

[all scream]

-[groans] What’s this about?
-Prepare for trouble, if you have to ask.

And make it double, a fitting task.

[giggles]

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

A bubbling beacon of health
in this fleeting world: Jessie.

The nobly toned man of our times.

The master of fitness fighting back
against a slovenly world.

It’s James.

And four, and three, and two, and one.

A physical fitness star
that always gets it done.

Dig it, while Meowth has fun.

[both] Team Rocket, we’ve won.

We’re done.

-Wobbuffet.
-Ah, yeah!

-So it was Team Rocket the whole time.
-What are you going to do?

What you’d expect. Convince your Ride
Pokémon to take a little ride with us.

They’re super-relaxed, which makes
this electric net’s task a breeze.

[grunts]

-[whimpers]
-Pretty speedy.

-[Ash] Good work, Garchomp!
-[grunts]

[all grunt and gibber]

-This beacon of health is dimming.
-My fitness is fizzling.

Four, and three, and two, and one.
We’re done.

How do we fit this into our plan?

They were supposed to be rendered useless,
but they're more useful than ever before.

This Pokémon Paradise pampering
is a pain in the healthy neck.

[all whimper]

Take a Ride Pokémon rain check.

[all] Cheerio!

[all] Huh?

-Pi! Pika!
-Togedemaru!

-[all gasp]
-Pikachu!

Oh, no!

We wouldn’t dream of leaving without
a bonus.

Pikachu’s number one on our catch list,

but that purple spike-head
is right up there.

[grunts] Please help us out.
Rescue Pikachu and the others.

[all grunt]

-We’ve got company.
-Not at our party.

Mareanie, use Sludge b*mb.

Marean!

Metang!

[both gasp]

No fair! What happened?

Metalhead’s polished,
so the sludge won't stick.

Wobbuffet. Wobbu!

[both snarl]

[both grunt]

[all yell and gibber]

Eeh-hee! That’s not right.

-It’s a full-speed retreat.
-Oh, no you don’t! You guys!

[all] Okay!

-[both] Use Fire Blast!
-Use Flamethrower!

-Use Ice Beam!
-Use Flash Cannon!

[roars]

[Team Rocket yell and scream]

[all] Off we go!

At least we can depend
on Bewear’s new blast.

-[gasps] Hey. You okay?
-Pikachu!

[both giggle]

Thanks a lot for rescuing all of us.

[grunts]

I'm sorry. You were supposed to be
taking it easy here.

[whimpers]

So Metang, wasn’t it worth
it to get you all polished up?

-Metang. Metang!
-[laughs]

[all laugh]

And we're not done yet.
Race you all to the flower bath!

[all] Yeah!

-So pretty.
-And it smells so good.

-Doesn’t get any better than this.
-For sure.

-Flower baths are the best.
-Pikachu.

[narrator] Following a day
at the Pokémon Paradise Resort,

the bond between our heroes
and the Ride Pokémon has grown.

Along with a little R&R.
But what happened to Team Rocket?

[all snarl]

How long are we supposed to be in here?

-Well, I’ve had enough.
-Hm?

[grunts and whimpers]

Bewear!

What was that for?

-He says you have to count to first.
-Oh, really? I'm not a kid, you know.

[both] And one, two, three,

four, five, six,

seven, eight...

Oranguru.

[narrator] As the journey continues.
