[Ash has just contacted Professor Oak on the computer at the Pokemon Center and explains his request]
Sorry to keep you waiting, Ash. Charizard just arrived from Charicific Valley and I have Charizard's Poke-ball right here!
AAsh
Great! Thanks for all your help, Professor.
Which Pokemon are you going to exchange?
AAsh
I'm going to send Unfezant.
Good! Smart choice! Swellow and Staraptor will be thrilled with a new friend. Another Flying-type Pokemon will allow them to have battle races at super speed!
AAsh
Awesome! Sounds like a lot of fun!
Let's begin the exchange!
AAsh
[places Unfezant's Poké-ball into the transporter] Unfezant, you're going to make new friends. [Seconds later, the exchange is made and Charizard's Poké-ball has arrived. As Ash picks it up, Professor Oak also receives Unfezant on his end as well.] I got it safe and sound!
Great and Unfezant is right here!
AAsh
[takes a deep breath before throwing out Charizard's Poké Ball to call it out] Okay! Charizard, I choose you!
[As soon as Charizard comes out of the Poké Ball, Charizard lets out an incredibly loud roar, startling the others. Oh yeah, he's back everyone!]
AAsh
Charizard, it's so good to see you!
[Pikachu greets his old friend back and hops onto Charizard's shoulder. Charizard gives the thumbs up signalling he's fine as well]
So that's Charizard. I've never seen one in person.
I can just sense its incredibly rich history.
AAsh
Okay! N, Iris, and Cilan, I want you to meet Charizard!
[Charizard, for old-time's sake, affectionately fires a Flamethrower at Ash, concerning Pikachu.]
There's a whole lotta love in that Flamethrower, like a family recipe lovingly handed down from generation to generation!
AAsh
Wow, that Flamethrower of yours is stronger than ever! [How he survives an even stronger Flamethrower is beyond us...]
It is a bit strange. I was sure that Dragon Rush would have done more. After all, Charizard is a Dragon-type Pokemon.
Raw?! [You're joking, right?!]
[N snickers at this comment]
Did I say something funny?
AAsh
The thing is Charizard isn't a Dragon-type.
But I saw Charizard use Dragon Tail and flying around and everything! It sure looks like a Dragon-type to me!
AAsh
Look. [brings up his Unova Pokedex]
UPUnova Pokedex
Charizard, the Flame Pokémon. Charizard is a Flying and Fire type. When competing in intense battles, Charizard's flame becomes more intense as well.
NO! And here I was hoping to catch a Charizard and raise it too! [Axew laughs at her for that embarrassment]
[The episode begins with the ship leaving Honey Island as Ash and his friends watch from behind the fence which has a green railing]
Continuing their cruise to the Kanto region, our heroes now leave Honey Island behind them, and head for their next adventure.
AAsh
I wonder what Pokémon we'll see on the next island. I'm so psyched.
The ocean breeze is so nice. It's wonderful.
It's going to be a long ride until the next port, so we've got lots of time to enjoy.
PPorter
How about this? There is the Marine Cup Tournament you could enter.
When did you get here? I thought the ship we saw you on yesterday had left the port already.
PPorter
That's right, I'm this ship's porter. You saw my cousin Porter on yesterday's ship.
I see. It's just like Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.
AAsh
So, tell us more about that Marine Cup Tournament.
[Porter shows them Ash and his friends to the battlefield aboard the ship]
PPorter
Sure. It's where passengers engage in Pokémon battles all vying to be the top prize winner.
AAsh
That sounds great. I'd like to enter!
There is no better way to evaluate a battle than while sampling the delicious breeze the ocean will serve up.
PPorter
All right, then I'll make all the arrangements. And don't miss the Ripple Collection. Mrs. Ripple's exhibit will be displayed in the ballroom for everyone to see, as soon as the tournament ends.
PPorter
Yes. Ah, that's her right over there. [Points with his hand to Mrs. Ripple, a lady who is dressed smartly in pink]
Her face looks awfully familiar to me.
PPorter
I'm sure you've seen her on TV before. Mrs. Ripple is one of the most famous gem collectors in the Unova region.
RMrs Ripple
Something wrong? Come here, Purrloin.
Purrloin? [Mrs Ripple's Purrloin walks into the scene, surprising Cilan] That's right! She's the gem collector who has a Purrloin. I knew there was a reason I remembered her.
RSMrs Ripple's Purrloin
Purrloin, Purr.
[Iris' Emolga uses Attract on the three Rotom]
AAsh
Yeah. Maybe using Attract can control those three.
[Unfortunately, Attract does not work on the three Rotom! The three Rotom snicker at the fact that Attract did not work on them, much to Iris and Emolga's shock. Rotom is genderless, therefore it cannot be affected by Attract.]
How can that be? Oh perhaps, those Rotom are female, huh?
I'm afraid Rotom are neither male nor female and that's the reason Attract had no effect on them.
[A Dunsparce has just flown away, leaving Ash dismayed]
I would guess the chances of finding that Dunsparce again are slim to none.
AAsh
I guess you're right. [Turns to look at Iris crossly] If Axew hadn't gotten in the way, I would've been able to catch that Dunsparce!
WHAT? You're blaming Axew?! For your information, it was all your fault for starting a battle without making a plan FIRST!
AAsh
That's because it wouldn've gotten away by then. Oh! [Sees the broken flowers on the path] Oh! [Remembers when the flowers fell out of Iris' hair and Ash landed on them, squashing them] Uh oh.
[Iris picks up Axew and walks away from Ash and Cilan]
A petty disagreement can gradually grow to the point where it turns into a huge argument which becomes difficult to reverse. And I'm afraid that's exactly where those two are headed.
[Soon, Ash and Cilan are following Iris]
Look, Ash, it's too bad about Dunsparce, but what happened was simply an accident.
[The camera cuts to Pikachu walking alongside Ash]
It's better to make up quickly after a fight rather than drag it out. The longer you wait, the harder it'll be for either of you to apologise.
[Then, Pikachu sees something nearby]
Pika, pika! [Points up to a tree full of fruit]
AAsh
Berries, I know. [Grabs one fruit from the tree] I can't believe how good these berries look. Let's eat.
AAsh
Taste great, right, Pikachu? Hey, Cilan, want one?
Sure, that sounds great, thanks.
AAsh
Catch. [Throws a fruit to Cilan who then eats it]
Mmm, it's truly delectable.
AAsh
Hey, Iris and Axew, catch. [Throws fruits to Iris and Axew]
[Iris catches the fruits with her own two hands]
AAsh
Just give them a try.
Oh, well. Guess if he insists. This one's for you. [She and Axew start eating their fruits, making Ash and Cilan happy, but then....]
[...Iris finds the taste rather bitter]
AAsh
There's no way that berry's bitter. But that look on your face is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
I mean it. It's really bitter. I can't believe you. [Turns angry] You gave me a bad tasting berry just to get back at me.
AAsh
No, I wouldn't do that, I swear.
You're not just a little kid, ASH KETCHUM, you're a BIG BABY!!! [Throws her berry at Ash, but Cilan catches it]
AAsh
What did you throw that at me for?
You're a little kid. No, wait, you're a HUGE BABY!!!!
AAsh
I wouldn't talk if I were you. YOU LOSE YOUR GRIT FOR NO REASON AT ALL!
BAD BERRIES ARE A GOOD REASON!
Now, let's all just calm down.
AIAsh & Iris
WHY DON'T YOU KEEP OUT OF THIS?!
[Chuckles] Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
I've had just about all I can take travelling with you! I'M OUTTA HERE!
AAsh
THAT'S FINE WITH ME!
Let's go, Axew. [Picks up Axew]
And just like that, their petty disagreement grew and grew and got way out of hand.
Small group of people? We're a small group.
Well if you mean us, why didn't it have any effect?!
[still brainwashed by the Beheeyem] I'm afraid idiots are hard to hypnotize.
[Ash, Pikachu, Jessie and James are stunned by the response]
AJAsh, Jessie and James
IDIOTS?!?! GRRRR....
[The Beheeyem are scared and take back the insult]
One second. What were we attempting to convey to all of you is that gifted people are hard to hypnotize.
I see. So you're implying we're geniuses?
[glad with the others] Now we're getting to the truth of the matter!
[The Beheeyem sigh in relief, as does Meowth]
AAsh
Glad we got that straight.
[As Alexa leaves for her work on her report, a familiar voice is heard and a figure is walking by. It's Clair, the Dragon-type Gym Leader from Blackthorn City, Johto.]
CClair
Dragonite, where are you? Please come out here!
[Both Ash and Pikachu are shocked and immediately recognize her]
AAsh
Is that you? Wow, Clair, it is you!
CClair
I can't believe it, it's Ash!
AAsh
Right! That's so cool that you still remember me!
CClair
Well, how could I forget? I owe you for stopping my Dragonite when it was on a tear using Outrage. [a flashback is shown of how Ash and Clair teamed up to stop the rampaging Dragonite] You really helped us get out of a jam, Pikachu. Thanks.
[Final lines in the Best Wishes series. The next day, a plane touches down on the runaway at the airport. Inside the airport building, Ash, who is now wearing some new clothes for when he goes to Kalos, is standing next to Alexa and talking to his mother and Professor Oak]
AAsh
All right. I'll call you when I get to the Kalos region.
Pikachu, take good care of Ash for me.
My boy, I'm looking forward to hearing all about your new Pokémon.
AAsh
Huh? Mom, you're embarrassing me!
Please, Alexa. Get him to Kalos safely.
[to Ash] I'll see you soon. Take care.
AAsh
Don't worry, Mom. You too.
[Later, the plane that's bound for the Kalos region is taking off as it leaves the airport. Professor Oak and Delia, meanwhile, have seen it flying off from behind a tall fence]
Well, Ash is off on another adventure.
Good luck, darling. I'll always be rooting for you. [The wind blows through her hair]
[Onboard the plane, Ash and Pikachu are sitting next to Alexa]
AAsh
Kalos region, here I come!
And so, as Ash bids farewell to Pallet Town and the Kanto region, the Kalos region awaits, with the promise of new and thrilling adventures. With the dream of Pokémon mastery stronger than ever, Ash and Pikachu are off again as the journey continues.
[An image of Ash and Pikachu appears above the text that reads NEXT TIME... A NEW BEGINNING!]
[First lines. A Fletchling flies through the kitchen window and sits on the window sill]
GSGrace's Fletchling
Fletchling.
[Its owner, Grace, is busy making some dinner]
GGrace
Fletchling, wake up Serena for me, won't you? [Pours some lettuce into a sieve] Of course, I already tried once, but as usual once is never enough. [Puts the sieve down]
GSGrace's Fletchling
Fletchling. [Flies up the stairs and lands on the landing floor. It then peeps through the door to Serena's bedroom] Fletchling, Fletchling. Fletchling, chiii-iing! [Squeezes through the door] Ling.
[Grace's daughter, Serena, is sleeping in her bed with a Joltik doll beside her when Fletchling flies over to her and lands on her bed]
GSGrace's Fletchling
Fletch... ling!
Aaaahhhhh! [Outside the house, Grace's Rhyhorn has overheard Serena's scream]
[Back in the kitchen, Grace has finished cooking]
GGrace
Good. Looks like we're all ready.
[Back inside Serena's room, a Bulbasaur doll falls on Serena as Fletchling tries to get her attention]
GSGrace's Fletchling
Fletchling, fletching. Ching, ching.
[Serena wakes up and speaks severely to Fletchling]
I've told you a million times not to wake me up like that.
GSGrace's Fletchling
Fletchling.
[Serena lunges at Fletchling who then flies up and sits on her head]
GGrace
[from downstairs] Serena!
GGrace
[from downstairs] Time for morning training!
Right! Ah, not again. [Opens her bedroom curtains and the window and looks down at Rhyhorn who is sleeping in the front garden] Morning, Rhyhorn!
[Serena stretches as a fresh breeze blows into her room]
Hope today's interesting. [Laughs]
[Fletchling flies out of Serena's window and over the land away from her house]
The Kalos region. Like the other regions, a beautiful place where people and Pokémon live in harmony, reflecting each other's thoughts and feelings.
[Several scenes showing how these people and Pokémon interact, including four Gogoat drinking out of a stream with farmers behind them, and a young boy in a light green short-sleeved jacket chasing a Dedenne in a city, are shown as the narrator continues to introduce Kalos]
When people smile, Pokémon smile, and when Pokémon cry, you'll find that people cry as well.
[An underwater scene showing Water-types like the Wailmer family, the Magikarp family, Lapras, and many others is shown, which the camera pans upward from to show a plane heading toward Lumiose City]
And here, a certain young man is about to arrive; a young man seeking new dreams and new adventures.
[He happens to be one Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu, who is seeking a new journey coming off his Top 8 performance at the Unova League, which fans still view it as a sick joke]
AAsh
Yeah! We'll be on the ground soon!
Ash, you and Pikachu must be really excited.
Ash We're starting a brand-new adventure! There's nothing more exciting to a Pokémon Trainer!
