[overlapping]
Take care of yourself, Serena! Bye-bye!
Bye, Serena!
Byeeee!! [She and Dedenne strike a pose, as if to commend Serena for her courage to do what she did]
[Pikachu and Dedenne's voices overlap as well.]
[Serena removes her hand from Ash's ribbon and gives one last modest wave to Ash and the gang as she finishes her descent down the escalator.]
[First lines. Ash and Pikachu are having a great time at sea]
All right! Whoa ho! This is awesome! [The camera pulls back to disclose that he and Pikachu are riding a Sharpedo] Yeah. Right, Pikachu!
Pikachu!
[Laughs]
This is Melemele Island, one of the several islands in the Alola region. [The camera pans left to people going windsurfing and having fun on the coastline of Melemele Island] Ash and Pikachu are in the middle of a vacation on the island... [The camera cuts to a bird's eye view of Melemele Island] and they're having an absolute ball.
All right! Full throttle, Sharpedo!
Sharpedo-shar!
[Sharpedo takes Ash and Pikachu underwater, where the two admire the Pokémon that live underwater. Among the Pokémon they see are two Lumineons and some Finneons, a Corsola, a Milotic and a Pyukumuku. When Ash sees the Pyukumuku, he touches it with his finger)
Whoa!
Piku! [Spawns a white hand which sticks up two fingers. Ash does the same as Pikachu swims up to the surface. He leaves the scene on Sharpedo]
[Nearby, a girl with blue hair, whose name is Lana, is fishing aboard a Lapras that she and her Popplio are using. Then, Sharpedo emerges from the sea with Ash and Pikachu who are panting for air. They shake themselves clean just as Lana hooks up a Bruxish, surprising Ash and Pikachu. Ash nearly falls into the water first time, but he does so the second time]
Pika.
[Ash pops his head out of the water]
[panting] Made it, buddy. [Laughs]
[Lana and her Popplio, having seen the action, laugh also]
[laughs]
[Toucannon is waiting impatiently for Rowlet to return]
Toucannon. Toucannon... [Remembers when it laid its beak on some eggs which hatched into Pikipek, and a Rowlet]
[Back in the present, it hears Rowlet's hoot]
Hoot!
Toucannon! [Rowlet returns with a melon] Toucannon.
[Arrives at the nest and greets Rowlet]
[Ash, Pikachu, Mallow and Rotom arrive at the scene]
There it is. Over there!
[The occupants of the nest turn to them]
Pika!
Bounsweet!
Here's where I come in. [Scans the Pikipek] Pikipek, the woodpecker Pokémon, a Normal and Flying-type. [A fantasy featuring one Pikipek begins with that Pikipek pecking a hole into a tree and finding some food] It can unleash 16 pecks per second to drill a hole into a tree where it stores food.
[Next, it scans Trumbeak]
Trumbeak, the Bugle Beak Pokémon, and the evolved form of Pikipek. It attacks its opponents by firing seeds stored in its beak. [Moves onto Toucannon] Toucannon, the Cannon Pokémon, and the evolved form of Trumbeak. Its beak heats up to over two hundred degrees, and its peck can inflict a serious burn. [Touches Toucannon's beak] What's this?! It's not hot at all! That's strange.
[Toucannon gets angry as its beak gets hotter, and Rotom Dex runs in a frenzy after getting burned.]
[Meanwhile, Rowlet flies over to Ash]
Wow, I had no idea you had so many awesome friends. [Rowlet flies into his backpack]
I remember that you can earn Z-crystals by going through an Island Challenge. Isn't that right?
It isn't the only way. But going through the Island Challenge is the most certain way. The key to your success is to pass the Grand Trial of each of the Island's Kahunas.
[finishing his milk] So, how do you do that?
I will answer that with great pleasure. A Grand Trial is a battle between trainer and Island Kahuna. If the trainer wins, the Kahuna acknowledges that trainer's worthiness.
Whoa, sounds like fun. [Be careful, Ash. They are not like the Gym Leaders you have fought in the past.]
According to my data, a Grand Trial is preceded by lesser trials that must be overcome first.
First, the little trials, then boom!
Alright, I think we should go and pay a visit to Hala, the Kahuna of Melemele Island.
Kahuna, I'd like to get a Z-Crystal as soon as I can. I'll need it for when I battle Tapu Koko again.
Again, huh? Ahhh...Ash, if you don't mind, I'd like you to answer a question for me.
A question for me?
I assume you now know that the people of this island have been troubled by a rash of wild Rattata and Raticate, am I right?
Yes, sir.
If you were the person being asked to resolve this problem, what would you do?
Uhhhh...I know! I'd take Pikachu and Rowlet and challenge them all to a battle, then...
But young Ash, are you interested in learning why the Island Challenge was started so many years ago? [Pikachu is seen playing with Hala's Hariyama by Pikachu running around Hariyama's belly] You see, it wasn't simply made to make trainers stronger in battle, it was to raise young people in such a way that they will love and protect the islands of Alola, as well as the many people and Pokémon who inhabit them. [It's tempting to battle but sometimes violence can't always solve problems. There are alternate methods.]
Love all that's here and protect it?
I want you to look for answers that won't only lead you to battle. We'll talk about the Z-Crystal after I've heard what you've come up with.
[Before the battle begins...]
Alright Ash, one thing before your Grand Trial begins. Do you know the correct poses to use the Normal-type Z-move?
I sure do! We've practiced until its second nature. Right Pikachu?
Pika-Pika! [Indeed!]
[A warning on using Z-moves]
When you use a Z-move, both you and your Pokemon expend a large amount of energy. So in a way, you Pikachu and Rowlet are now, your Z-move should be quite a bit tiring.
The important thing is when I use it. Is that right? [In other words, time the Z-move correctly or prepare to lose the match]
Exactly, Ash. We are ready to go, Hala!
[Rowlet is snoozing after defeating Crabrawler. Granted, it was worn out but still...]
Rowlet, wake up! You're battling!
Pika! [Come on Rowlet!]
[With Ash's first Grand Trial win and Electrium-Z Crystal...]
Professor Kukui.
Hala.
Would it be alright if I host the celebration? I'm pleased Ash has passed his first Grand trial and it would give me great pleasure to throw a big party for him!
Of course, you may! What an honor! I can't thank you enough!
Since it's all decided, I must get started with preparations.
Kahuna Hala?
What would you like, young Ash?
My friends from the Pokemon school come too. You see, without them, I wouldn't have gotten a Z-Crystal in the first place. So would that be alright with you?
A very good idea. Yes, invite them all right away!
Tapu Koko's gonna be so mad!
Not to mention Kiawe. He's gonna be furious when he finds out you lost a Z-Crystal.
[Ash has used his Rockruff to defeat Hiorki's Mudbray. Both Ash and Hiroki shake hands]
That move was incredible! Nice battle!
Do it again, sometime?
Yeah!
[meows repeatedly, calling out for Stoutland, who has vanished]
Litten...
Professor, where's Stoutland?
[in grief] I'm sorry...
[The next day, we are in Sophocles' point of view, where Sophocles imagines that he is being confronted by his classmates for lying to them about moving house]
You lied! You're not moving at all.
Stop! I didn't lie.
Yeah, but it's only for one week and it's on the same block.
Yeah.
What's the point?
Worrying about you was silly.
I don't like you, Sophocles.
Me neither.
[angrily] Me neither!
Nor me!
Hmph!
[Lana blows a raspberry and walks away with Lillie, Mallow, Ash and Kiawe]
Hey, wait everybody!
[A fantasy featuring Tapu Lele begins as Tapu Lele itself scatters its glowing scales]
[voiceover] Tapu Lele, Akala's island guardian, is known to scatter its glowing scales from time to time. It is said that whoever the scales touch will instantly be healed.
[The camera cuts to Ash in the present]
Oh, yeah. So that's why. [Remembers when Tapu Lele gave him some glowing scales and they healed his hands]
You know what I think? I think Tapu Lele is the guardian of life itself. Its light heals wounds and gives strength to those who need it.
Do you think we'll meet again?
Of course! Just as long as that's what you want. It would make me so happy if you felt Tapu Lele's presence here, and if on our field trip you thought about what life truly means and the relationship between people and Pokémon. I want you to feel that special something that's created only between you and your partner through your encounters. I know that's a lot to think about, though. Ha-ha! [Claps her hands once] Right, then, story time's over. Get ready. Grab your things and bring your Pokémon. Next, Akala Island! Let's go!
[Soon, Olivia, the students and their Pokémon have gone to the port to board a boat that's bound for Akala Island]
Ah!
Now, all aboard, everybody! [Jumps onto the boat, but she trips up] Uh! Wah! [Hits the wooden floor while the students give awkward looks] Like I said before, nothing to see. Nothing to see.
Pika?
Ha-ha!
Interesting. Serious explanations and then belly laughs after she trips.
[nods] She's so cool!
Seriously?
[Soon, everyone has boarded the boat which is now setting off. Meanwhile, Principal Oak is waving goodbye to the students who wave to him back]
See you later!
Now have a mystical Magikarp kind of time!
Karp! Karp!
