[Later, back at Dawn's house, everyone is watching a battle on television]
AAnnouncer
Now, battling for the title of Champion Master, it's Flint of the Elite Four's Infernape versus Champion Cynthia's Garchomp! [Flint speaks, but his voice is inaudible] And Flint commands Infernape to use Flare Blitz!
[The camera zooms in on Ash's left eye and Ash starts fantasising as Infernape uses Flare Blitz, but Cynthia's Garchomp flies away from the attack and uses Draco Meteor. Then, the English opening theme, We Will Carry On!, plays as Infernape and Garchomp battle it out]
SISong in Background
It's about you, it's about me. It's about hope, it's about dreams. It's about friends that work together, to claim their destiny. It's about reaching for the sky, (Pokémon) Having the courage and willing to try. It's about never giving up, so hold your head up, and we will carry on... [Ash imagines himself being in place of Flint] It's about reaching for the sky, (Pokémon) Having the courage and willing to try. It's about never giving up, so hold your head up, and we will carry on... [Infernape faints] Sinnoh League Victors.
[Cynthia has just defeated Flint without breaking too much of a sweat]
AAnnouncer
Infernape is down, unable to take out Cynthia's Garchomp after defeating two of her Pokémon. So once again, Cynthia defends her title as Champion Master and remains on her throne. Can anyone beat her?
AAsh
[standing up] Yeah, I can! [Little did Ash realise, his wish would come true in the future...]
That came out of nowhere.
Piplup. [That's a shocker.]
AAsh
No way, Dawn. It's always on my mind. Someday, somehow, I'm going to win the Champion League and become Champion Master. [Again, little did Ash realise, that his wish becoming a Champion Master will come true but not in the way he expected...]
[Pikachu jumps up on Ash's left shoulder]
Pika. Pika, Pika. [Yep. You'll get your chance!]
AAsh
[to Pikachu] You're right - and, of course, that means I'll finally be a Pokémon Master.
[The camera cuts to Brock]
[off camera] Pikachu! [Can't wait!]
[off camera] Awesome, your big dream.
[Brock stands up]
Hey, guys. There's something that I've wanted to tell you.
The thing is, after watching you and Dawn going for your dreams, I've decided I need to go for a dream of my own. That's why I'm planning to use all of my experience... to become a Pokémon Doctor.
ADAsh & Dawn
A Pokémon Doctor?
But to become a doctor, I'll have to study hard, which means I won't have time to continue on our journey.
AAsh
I understand. Go for it, Brock!
Pikachu! [Go chase your dream!]
Thanks, you two. Becoming a doctor will let me help out Pokémon from all over the world.
So, Ash will be a Pokémon Master and Brock a Pokémon Doctor, and I'll be Top Coordinator. Sounds good to me! And no need to worry.
AAsh
Whenever you say, "No need to worry," that's when I worry the most.
No need, Ash - this time, I'm right!
[Ash, Dawn and Brock laugh]
[Final lines in the Diamond & Pearl series. Ash and Brock have arrived back in the Kanto region and they are now looking at a signpost]
[They shake hands with each other, wishing each other the best of luck]
AAsh
You can do it, Pokémon Doctor Brock.
Pokémon Master Ash, you can too.
ABAsh & Brock
[clasping arms together] Yes!
[Then, they split up and go separate ways. Later, Ash and Pikachu have reached a hill that overlooks Pallet Town]
AAsh
There's Pallet Town. Let's go, Pikachu.
[Ash and Pikachu start running down the hill towards Pallet Town. Meanwhile, the camera pans up from where they left off and shows Pallet Town in the horizon. Then, a text reading NEXT TIME, A NEW BEGINNING! appears]
[The episode opens with a scene featuring Zekrom, the Deep Black Pokémon, on the top half of the screen, and Reshiram, the Vast White Pokémon, on the bottom half. The scene mixes into the world of Pokémon from space]
The Pokémon world. [The camera zooms in on the planet] A world teeming with the most amazing creatures imaginable... [The camera pans across the sea, some countryside and a town nearby] ...Populating the land, the sea and the air. [The screen fades to white] Wherever you may find yourself, chances are Pokémon will be there, too. [Fade to Ash's house in Pallet Town] And that includes the Kanto region's Pallet Town... [The camera cuts to Ash putting a blue and white zipping hoodie on in his bedroom] ...home to this young man... [Pikachu jumps onto Ash's shoulder] ...ten-year-old Ash Ketchum, a Pokémon trainer dreaming of one day becoming a Pokémon Master.
[Ash picks up his backpack, leaves the room and then comes back in]
AAsh
Oops. Yeah! [Picks up his hat and puts it on] Mm. Pikachu, psyched?
AAsh
Me too. Taking a trip with mom. Can't remember the last time we did that, you know?
Ash, Professor Oak is here to pick us up.
AAsh
Huh? [His mom sorts his hat out]
[Oshawott comes out of his Pokeball by himself]
Huh? Oshawott's out of his Pokeball.
AAsh
Why did you come out on your own like that?
Oshawott. [I wanna battle!]
Pika, pika. [Please, I got this.]
Osha! Oshawott! [No! I got this.]
DSDewott's trainer
Dewott, let's go!
[Dewott comes out]
DDewott
Dewott! [Let's dew this!]
Os... sha. Oshawott, Oshawott. [My... evolved form? ... Alright, you got this.]
AAsh
Okay, now that that's settled, Oshawott, return!
[While waiting for Ash's Pokemon to recover at the Pokemon Center, Cilan wants to talk to Ash about tactics...]
Our battle today was a fruitful one. What struck me were the amazing pairing possibilities between trainer and Pokemon.
There are things I'd like to ask you for future reference as a Pokemon Connoisseur, of course.
AAsh
Sure, fire away, Cilan.
[whips out his notebook and asks Ash at rapid pace and gets a little too close for comfort...] So how you do bring out a Pokemon's hidden zest in nature like you do? Also, won't you fill me in on that secret recipe of yours that allows you to turn type disadvantage into a win? Please, Ash, I'm dying to know!
AAsh
Uhhh...guess I never really thought about it. [Just then, the Pokemon Center chime rings in...whew]
Oh, yay! I get to eat more Cilan cuisine!
[Emolga flies down to the group]
Emol-Emol-Emol! [I found my Trainer!]
[Emolga flies into Iris' arms]
Emol-Emol-Emol-Emol-Emol! [I would like Iris to be my Trainer!]
Oh Sorry Emolga I Thought It Would Be Fine If You Where My Pokémon I Am Really Sorry Emolga
Emol Emol Emol Emol Emol Emol Emol! [No Way I Want To Be Your Pokémon, I Want Iris And That's It!]
Sorry Bianca I It's My Pokémon Now
It's Okay Iris After All It Is Your Pokémon
[Ash is pitting his Snivy against Bianca's Pignite]
Now, Pignite, Flamethrower!
BSBianca's Pignite
Pignite! [Here comes Flamethrower!] [Uses Flamethrower]
AAsh
Okay, Snivy, use Leaf Blade!
Sniiiivyyy! [Leaf Blade!] [Uses her tail against Pignite's Flamethrower attack. She then lands on the ground] Snivy. [What else do you have?]
BSBianca's Pignite
[starts stomping on the ground] Pig, pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig... [Kicks up dust] ...pig pig pig pig... [Uses Flame Charge] ...PigNIIIIIIITE! [Flame Charge!]
[Pignite starts stomping on the ground and kicks up dust before using Flame Charge]
AAsh
All right, Snivy, Leaf Storm.
[Snivy starts gathering leaves for her Leaf Storm attack]
Snivy vy vy vy vy vy vy vy vy vy vy! Snivy! [Here comes Leaf Storm! Counter this!] [Uses Leaf Storm on Pignite]
BSBianca's Pignite
Pignite! [Ouch!] [Bounces back] Pig! [Not bad.]
[While the battle rages on, Iris is looking for her Emolga]
Oh, wow, looks like they're having a heated battle all right. Emolga, where could you have gone? [Hears a sleepy sigh] Huh? [Looks up the tree and finds Emolga sitting on a branch] Emolga, come down here this instant.
[waking up] Emol. [Not interested] [Goes back to sleep again]
Man, Ash and Snivy are battling instead of us because you used Volt Switch and now we're not getting any practice.
[Meanwhile, Ash and Bianca have stopped battling to see what is the matter]
Vy? Snivy. [Really? Come down here.] [Uses one of her vines to capture Emolga and brings her over to the group]
Hm. Instead of a Volt Switch, we've witnessed a Vine Whip Switch. It's a new recipe.
[Iris rejoins Ash and the others]
Emolga, you're going to battle this time. Get it?
E. [But...] [Starts acting cute] Emol. [I'm too cute to fight.]
And acting cute won't work.
[Sighs] Emol. [Fine.] [Starts charging up electricity]
Vy. [Stand back.] [Jumps up in the air]
[But then, Emolga uses Discharge on everyone around her, except Snivy who has jumped well out of the way. The group falls down]
Snivy. [You have to got to be kidding me.]
[Ash and Bianca sit up with messy hairstyles]
Wow! I'm all over this hairstyle.
[Cilan gets up with his lime green hair all messy too]
Your optimism is infectious.
[The title card comes up]
AAsh
[voiceover] Cottonee in Love!
[The camera pans down from the sky to where Scraggy is lying with a Cottonee floating beside it]
Nimbasa City, the next step on Ash's path to the Unova League, remains the focus for our travelling heroes.
AAsh
Whoa, who that's Pokémon?
That, Ash, is a Cottonee.
[Ash scans the wild Cottonee with his Pokédex]
Ash's Pokédex: Cottonee - the cotton puff Pokémon. Cottonee shoots cotton to distract its opponent when attacked, and travels around wherever the blowing wind carries it.
[Scraggy gets up and glares at Cottonee]
CCottonee
Cotton-ee! [Shoots some cotton puff at Scraggy]
SScraggy
Scraggy! Scrag, scrag, scrag! Scrag, scrag.
It's rather unusual to see a Cottonee all by itself this time of year.
[A fantasy featuring some Cottonee begins]
You see, under normal circumstances, Cottonee will gather in large groups and then happily pair up.
[The fantasy ends as Iris approaches Ash and Cilan]
So it's like a big singles get together.
[The Cottonee fantasy resumes]
Uh, I guess you could say that. Then after they've found a partner, the happy couples ride the winds as they start new lives together.
[Back in the present, Iris eats a green apple]
How romantic can you get?
Though it sounds a little less romantic with your mouth full!
AAsh
Of course! So the couples are like really good buddies, right?
That's so like you. You're such a little kid!
