So you used Detect. But since this is a battle of strength, all I need is to strike that leek once and Farfetch'd goes down with it. You're not trained at all.
If you say they're not trained, then tell us what it is that you think they're lacking?
Hey, I'm no Gym Leader. If you want answers, find them yourself. It's our turn. Now Gallade, use Close Combat.
Use Night Slash! Meet it head on!
[As the episode begins, Ash receives a letter from someone...]
A letter for me?
[nods his head] It says it's from Unova.
From Unova? [Sirfetch'd cuts open the letter for Ash with his leek]
Awesome! Thanks Sirfetch'd! [as he opens the letter] Wow, it's from Iris, buddy!
Pika? [Really?]
Who's that?
She's a travel buddy from when I traveled in Unova. [flashback reveals Ash, Iris and Cilan alongside Pikachu, Axew and Pansage] She's on a journey to become a Dragon Master. It says she wants an official battle with me.
Pikachu. [That's great.]
She recently entered the World Coronation series and is already in the Great Class.
[At the Opelucid Gym...]
We haven't seen the Opelucid Gym in forever!
[an Axew walks by]
An Axew? Maybe it's Iris' Axew!
Pikachu. [She's got to be nearby.]
Oh? Welcome, young Ash. [he picks up the Axew]
Drayden! Is that Iris' Axew?
No, this little one happens to be my partner. [Really? The writers do realize that Drayden has a Haxorus in the Black and White anime, right?]
[As the lights in the Opelucid Gym turn on, courtesy of Emolga, Iris appears in her Champion outfit from the Black 2 and White 2 games]
I've been waiting for you, Ash!
Hey, Iris! What's with the getup?
[giggles and spins around in a circle] Pretty nice, huh?
Iris is presently the strongest trainer in Unova. In other words, she holds the title of reigning Champion. [Since Iris is confirmed to be Champion by defeating Alder, it appears to also confirm that Trip failed his goal of defeating Alder. It's also confirmed that Virgil, the winner of the Unova League Conference, did not succeed in becoming Unova Champion as well.]
Great job, Dracovish! Use Ice Fang!
[Dracovish starts using Ice Fang, which freezes Dragonite-A brutal 4x-super-effective smackdown!]
It can't be true!
Now, Dracovish, spit it out!
[With a little effort, Dracovish throws Dragonite out of its mouth, with it landing near Iris as the Drone Rotom inspects it.]
Dragonite is unable to battle.
[Iris recalls her Dragonite]
Oh, we lost our rhythm completely, didn't we? We must get our hearts in sync and become one with each other! Yeah, no more kid gloves! [she summons her...Haxorus?!]
Haxorus! [Get ready to rumble!]
It's Haxorus!
Iris, is that Haxorus the fully evolved form of Axew I met?
That's right! And now it's my strongest partner! [Note: The reason Iris' Axew had to become Haxorus is because fans did not approve of the writer's decision of having Axew being kept in his base state throughout the Black and White series and making Axew get lost in the Unova League]
[A wild Onix that Goh is trying to catch is about to attack both Ash and Goh, when...]
Blastoise, Hydro Pump!
[Blastoise complies scaring away the Onix with Hydro Pump]
Somebody saved us.
Wait, that Blastoise...
[stepping out from behind his Kanto starter] I was wondering who it was and it turns out to be Ashy-boy. [Note: HURRAY! NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, GARY OAK! The fans sure missed you since you last appeared in Diamond and Pearl]
Gary!
[gives Ash a friendly chuckle] I just said that for old time's sake. It's been a long time, Ash. Pikachu.
Uh-huh. It sure has.
Pikachu! [Long time, no see, Gary.]
But what are you doing here? You were doing Pokémon research in the Sinnoh region, right?
[recalls his Blastoise] Those days are over. Now I'm on a long journey researching Pokémon all over the world. And in the middle of it, I came up with the goal that's brought me to Kanto.
Wait, but what goal? [Gary walks over to Goh]
But first, aren't you going to introduce us?
Oh, sorry. He's a research fellow at the Cerise Laboratory like me.
[Ash and Volkner are walking towards the battle area, but first some catching up to do]
I'm glad that I get the chance to battle with you again. [a flashback of Ash's match with Volkner in a Gym battle is shown]
So am I, Volkner!
[notices Ash's Z-ring] Isn't that a Z-ring from the Alola region? And isn't that an Electrium-Z inside?
Oh this? It's a Z-Crystal made just for Pikachu and me.
Just for Pikachu and you?
Pika! [You got it!]
I think your stormy winds might even shake things up in the covenant Master Class.
The Master Class?
Yes. Cynthia, Sinnoh's Champion, is listed among their members.
Cynthia, really? [Sure enough, Cynthia, Leon, and Raihan were revealed to be watching Ash's match against Volkner while Bea is meditating, thinking she's better than everyone. Ash will prove her wrong soon enough.......]
[Pikachu notices a familiar looking figure. He runs toward the person in excitement]
What is it, buddy?
[Pikachu immediately jumps into the air and gets caught by none other than...Cynthia! Nice Sinjoh ruins event reference.]
It's Pikachu!
It's you! Hi, Cynthia!
Ash? It's been a long time! I've never thought I meet you here. You both look like you're doing really great!
Pika Pika! [Thanks for checking up on us!]
I heard that you entered the Pokémon World Coronation Series, that's so fantastic!
Here you go. [gives Ash a pair of gloves. One of them has a Keystone embedded in it.]
It's a Mega glove!
Pika. [Cool.]
Wow, is that really a Keystone?
Thank you, Korrina. [Both Korrina and Gurkin nod to Ash in gratitude]
Try it on for size.
[After the episode title card, Korrina charges toward Bea! Uh-oh...]
Korrina!
Bea! [The scene turns out to be different when Korrina closes in to...hug Bea?! Uh...] Bea-Bea!
[Ash, Goh and Pikachu look on in surprise and confusion.]
"Bea-Bea"?
Thanks for getting me something. But, didn't you come here for him? [Points behind Korrina to Ash and Goh]
Huh? [She looks around and notices Ash and Goh] Oh, hey, you two!
[The boys bashfully wave back with blank faces.]
Alright, let's do this, Lucario! [readies his Keystone glove]
Raahh! [Now!]
[Ash activates his Keystone]
Our bond of friendship! Mega Evolve! [Fans are satisfied with Ash owning a Mega-evolved Pokémon. Now you know why the tradition of giving Ash current generation Pokémon to promote current generation games began to fall apart back in Generation VI.]
Hey, whatcha got in the box, Ren?
After being out for repairs, it's finally back. A lamp that Francois really loves! [after plugging it in] Come on out! It's lunchtime!
Magnemite! [Alright!] [begins absorbing the electricity from the lamp]
Welcome to the Celadon Gym. Nice to meet you. My name is Erika, the Gym Leader.
Hi there, it's a pleasure to see you.
Thank you. [recognizes Ash] Oh my, don't I know you?
[a bit nervous] That's right, I'm Ash.
I recognize you now. Hi Ash! [cut to flashback where Ash rescued her Gloom from the fire] You helped rescue all the Pokémon after the Gym caught fire. I want to thank you again. You did a really wonderful thing!
Aww...
Ash, you really did that? [It does hint that neither Ash nor Erika were proud of making a bad first impression of each other since they don't mention the issues that caused the Celadon Gym to get caught on fire to Goh or Chloe]
