[A Persian jumps out from behind a bush]
PPersian
Me-owww. [Ash, Pikachu and Meloetta jump out of the way] Purrrr.
AAsh
Hey, that Pokémon...
PPersian
Raowww. [Ash scans it with his PokéDex]
ASAsh's PokéDex
Persian, the classy cat Pokémon and the evolved form of Meowth. Persian can walk silently, thanks to its nimble muscles. It pounces on its prey at lightning speed.
AAsh
[to Meloetta] Make yourself invisible. Quick! [Meloetta goes invisible] All right.
AAsh
Huh? [Sees Giovanni standing on a floating disc and wearing goggles]
Mmm. Meloetta, I know you're here. Make it easy on yourself and come out.
Persian, use Shadow Claw.
[Persian uses Shadow Claw]
Pika-chu! [Uses Iron Tail on Persian]
[Persian unleashes a powerful Power Gem attack on Pikachu, blasting him into Ash]
[Meloetta reappears]
MMeloetta
Oh, no! [Ash and Pikachu get trapped in a force field cage, fired from a helicopter above them which turns into a cube, trapping them] No-me. No!
Meloetta. [Meloetta turns to him] Do as I say immediately, or the boy and his Pikachu will be very sorry.
[The cube starts to shrink a bit]
In just a moment, they'll be much smaller than they are now.
AAsh
Meloetta, get out of here.
[The cube grows a bit]
That's a good Pokémon. [Returns Persian to its Poké ball]
Really? Ash, you're going to compete in the Unova League?
AAsh
Yup, that's why we're on our way to Vertress City.
Wonderful! Then I'm certain we'll cross paths again.
What are you talking about?
DDavy
Virgil's competing as well.
I just completed my journey going around challenging Gyms to help me prepare for my rescue work.
Impressive aerial entrance.
Come on. We were just dropping off an injured Pokémon at the Pokémon Center.
[Virgil notices Bianca and Stephan]
AAsh
Oh yeah. This is Bianca and Stephan.
They're friends of ours we competed with when we were in the Clubsplosion.
[Ash, Iris, Cilan, Bianca, Stephan and Virgil head to the Pokémon Center to register. Trip is also heading to the Pokémon Center to register as well]
So, that means you've got eight gym badges too?
AAsh
Hey, Virgil. Congratulations on your win!
There's no doubt Team Eevee was awesome, but you won't beat me next time!
You know, after competing, Eevee's more confident than ever before. We're really grateful to you and everyone else too.
[Davy arrives in the rescue helicopter to pick Virgil up]
Well, Davy, Team Eevee did it!
DDavy
Yeah. Saw it all on TV! You were great! Congratulations on an impressive victory. Wait till you see the party that Dad's planning!
A party? That sounds so awesome!
Right! [Virgil jumps into the passenger seat of the helicopter]
DDavy
Take care, everyone! We'll see you all later!
And thanks, for everything!
[Ash and Iris have recovered Pikachu and Axew from the control room]
AAsh
I'm so sorry for all this!
[Ash and Iris are very angry with Pikachu and Axew for causing trouble]
AAsh
NOW YOU APOLOGIZE, TOO!
PAPikachu & Axew
Pika-Pikachu, Axew-ew... [We're both very sorry...]
CCheren
I see you feel bad, and you're forgiven. But still, don't ever do that again. OK?
AAsh
[putting away his Unova dex] Wow, he's using Herdier. I know who I want.
[Immeadiately, Oshawott comes out of his Pokéball]
Osha-Oshawott! [Yep, let me at 'em!]
AAsh
Do you want to battle?
AAsh
Awesome, then I choose you! [Note: It is obvious that the writers did not even think about evolving Oshawott after the Unova League as well. Who cares, right? As long as Oshawott is cuter than Dewott and Samurott, kids will automatically prefer it over the evolved counterparts.]
