Scenes with Pikachu 205
[coming out of hiding] Dedenne... Dedenne! [jumps emotionally into Bonnie's hands]
Pikachu
[relieved] Pika!
[apologetically] Denne-ne-ne-ne...
Hmmm... [nuzzling Dedenne] It's okay~...!
[Everyone walks toward Bonnie and Dedenne.]
Dedenne, you can help Bonnie make her dreams come true!
Pikachu
Pika-pika!
You'll see! We'll battle!
I know I'm gonna have to do my best, or you'll beat me!
None of us wanna lose to you!
[All the Pokémon voice their agreement.]
[Bonnie and Dedenne laugh.]
[Fade to a pair of escalators within the airport, where Serena is ready to say goodbye and head for Hoenn.]
PAPublic Address Announcer
Latias Airlines Flight H71 will finish boarding soon. Ticket holders who have not yet boarded, please proceed to the gate immediately.
'Kay, it's time to go! Ash, Clemont, Bonnie, you've all given me so very much. More than I can say!
Pikachu
Pika-pika!
Give us a call once in a while!
You can be sure that we're all gonna come and visit you!
[Her eyes shining, she giggles] Mm-hmm!
[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
Pikachu!
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 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)
PPyukumuku
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]
Pikachu
Pika.
[Ash pops his head out of the water]
[panting] Made it, buddy. [Laughs]
[Lana and her Popplio, having seen the action, laugh also]
[Toucannon is waiting impatiently for Rowlet to return]
TToucannon
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]
TToucannon
Toucannon! [Rowlet returns with a melon] Toucannon.
TTrumbeak
[Arrives at the nest and greets Rowlet]
[Ash, Pikachu, Mallow and Rotom arrive at the scene]
[The occupants of the nest turn to them]
Pikachu
Pika!
RDRotom Dex
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]
RDRotom Dex
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]
[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?
Pikachu
Pika-Pika! [Indeed!]
[Rowlet is snoozing after defeating Crabrawler. Granted, it was worn out but still...]
Rowlet, wake up! You're battling!
Pikachu
Pika! [Come on Rowlet!]
[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]
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.
Pikachu
Pika?
Interesting. Serious explanations and then belly laughs after she trips.
[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]
Now have a mystical Magikarp kind of time!
[The Who's that Pokémon? segment comes up]
SStudents
Who's that Pokémon? It's... Fomantis!
[Ash and Mallow are looking at Lurantis, the forest's Totem Pokémon]
[Pikachu jumps down from the stump that he was standing on]
RDRotom Dex
Lurantis, the Bloom Sickle Pokémon. A Grass type and the evolved form of Fomantis. Lurantis use their flower-like appearance and aroma to lure in opponents and defeat them.
Do you think it could be a... Totem Pokémon?
LLurantis
Lurantis! [Unleashes its power, blowing a gust of wind into Ash, Mallow and Rotom Dex] Lurantis! [Uses Petal Blizzard]
RDRotom Dex
It's using Petal Blizzard! Run!
Ash & Mallow: Run!
[Pikachu stands still to feel the full force of Lurantis' Petal Blizzard attack]
Pikachu
Pika!
Huh! If it's a battle you want... [Stands up] ...you've got it! Lurantis is a grass-type, so we should counter with a fire-type! Litten, I choose you! [Sends out Litten]
LLitten
Litten! [Uses Ember on Lurantis]
RDRotom Dex
That was super-effective!
LLurantis
Lu...! [Charges up its Solar Blade attack]
RDRotom Dex
I calculate a 99% chance it's preparing to use Solar Blade!
We'll beat it by moving first. Fire Fang, let's go!
LLitten
Li...tten! [Uses Fire Fang on Lurantis]
LLurantis
LU-U-URANT-I-I-IS! [Unleashes its power and attacks Litten] Aargh!
[Litten dodges Lurantis' attack by backing off]
Yeah, but we're still fine as long as it doesn't hit!
LLurantis
LU-U-U-RA-A-A-ANT!
[A Castform flies down and joins Lurantis]
RDRotom Dex
I think it just called its ally for help!
RDRotom Dex
Castform, the Weather Pokémon. A Normal type. Castform has learned to use the power of nature to protect its small body.
CCastform
Ca-a-a-a-ast... [Uses Sunny Day]
Hey, Rotom, what's going on?
RDRotom Dex
Castform's using Sunny Day!
RDRotom Dex
Not exactly. That's its sunny form. Castform changes it appearance and type depending on the weather.
[The title card comes up]
[voiceover] Alola, Kanto!
[Samson, Professor Kukui and his class have arrived at an airport in the Kanto region)
Pikachu
[happy] Pika!
Hope we get to see a Vileplume.
Oh, no. Something wrong, Snowy?
[weakly] Vul... [Lillie picks it up]
Poor dear... Now what should I do?
FVFamiliar voice
Excuse me. Your Vulpix...
[The camera cuts to Brock who is carrying a black case]
Would you mind if I examine it? See, I'm actually studying to become a Pokémon doctor.
That would be great. We got off the plane, when all of a sudden...
Leave it to me. [Kneels down to attend to Snowy]
[Meanwhile, a disguised Team Rocket arrive carrying their luggage]
Ugh, this is so depressing.
Going through all this to get to headquarters.
[angrily] So why do we have to take orders from that bob-cut-and-glasses gal, anyway?
We'll get more lectures than all of my school years combined.
[to Matori who is inside a hexagonal bubble] Go away. Go away. GO AWAY!
Hey, no sweat. If we give Loser Locks this honey malasada, she's sure to get in a good mood. [disappointedly agrees] Yeah, like that's gonna work.
[Meanwhile, Snowy is being examined by Brock]
Just as I suspected. Just a little air sickness.
[The camera cuts to Professor Kukui, Samson and the rest of the class]
I wonder what's keeping Lillie.
[Then, they see Lillie with Brock]
Huh? Whoa! Is that Brock?!
[runs to Brock with Pikachu] Heyyy! Brock!
[But then, Brock sees a flight attendant lady passing by]
[lovestruck] Whoa! [Runs past Ash and Pikachu causing them to spin]
Ahh... Such a lovely flight attendant in all her radiance. [Takes out a bouquet of flowers] It would be paradise if we flew the lovely skies together! Chasing clouds with you... Soaring... on love's wings. [Gets pulled by the ear by someone's hand] Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-OW!
[We see that the person grabbing Brock's ear is Misty]
All right. I come all the way to pick you up at the airport, and this is the thanks I get?!
[releases her grip and waves to Ash] Hey Ash! How have you been doing?
Pikachu
Pika-pika! [Jumps into Misty's arms]
Long time, no see, Pikachu!
[Komala rolls over, bringing the scene to the Pokémon school, where Professor Kukui and his students are in the classroom]
Has everybody brought their own clay?
Would you like to share mine?
Thanks, Kiawe. [The camera pans to the right and reveals a clay mountain] All that?
Now, class, today you're going to sculpt your Pokémon partner, closely observing it while you work might lead you to discover something new.
Let's see. Who should I make? Nebby and Rowlet are asleep so, OK, Pikachu, I choose you.
Pikachu
Pikachu.
Now, stay perfectly still.
Pikachu
Pika.
[The camera cuts to Lana who is trying to sculpt Popplio]
Please make a balloon. [Popplio makes a balloon] Stop. Now, hold that pose. Stay still, okay.
[Popplio's balloon goes wobbly and then, it pops, soaking Lana and itself. Meanwhile, Sophocles has not started sculpting]
RDRotom Dex
It's the same.
[The camera cuts to a clay model of Turtonator which was done by Kiawe]
All done. It's Turtonator. [Turtonator cheers, but then the clay model's head looks down] No, it's not stable enough. [to Turtonator] Turtonator, get down. [Turtonator stands on four legs] That's it. Perfect. [Starts making the clay model again]
[Meanwhile, Mallow has also not started sculpting her clay model]
Now give me a cute pose. [Steenee gives a cute pose] Ah, perfect.
[The camera cuts to Sophocles' clay model which is now spinning on a pottery wheel]
All right, let's try you, Togedemaru.
I'm going to faithfully recreate Togedemaru's spikes. My super deluxe pottery wheel and carbon sculptor.
[Everyone, except Lillie, goes to admire Sophocles' invention]
Sophocles, why are you waiting?
[Meanwhile, Lillie has finished sculpting Snowy who admires her work]
It probably would be better if I slimmed it down a little bit.
[Cut to Ash who has sculpted a Mimikyu]
It looks more like a Mimikyu, not a Pikachu.
[The clay Mimikyu's head falls]
Pikachu
Pika?
[The camera cuts to Rowlet sleeping in Ash's backpack...]
[...unaware that Nebby has managed to climb out]
[At the Altar of the Sunne, the four island guardians are hovering above their respective pillars and singing in harmony. Then, the four rectangles surrounding each pillar start glowing]
Pikachu
Pi?
AHAsh & his Classmates
Huh? [They turn to the Altar of the Sunne]
[Two traces of light on either side make their way upwards to the top of the monument, opening the Altar of the Sunne. Then, the portal beams a light directly onto Nebby]
Huh? Oh, right! The Altar of the Sunne.
Does that mean it's Solgaleo? [The beam goes up into the sky, making everyone cover their eyes due to the brightness, except Gladion] It must be.
What's happening to Nebby?
[Everyone watches as Nebby evolves into Solgaleo and roars]
Pikachu
Pika!
Nebby turned into Solgaleo?
[Steenee, Popplio, Togedemaru and Snowy scream and run away Solgaleo stomps on the ground and roars. Then, Rotom Dex starts taking pictures excitedly]
RDRotom Dex
This is a massive discovery! I can't believe it! Nebby evolved two times, and now it's none other than the legendary Alolan Pokémon Solgaleo! Information updated, information updated!
[Meanwhile, Team Rocket and Bewear have seen the action from some distance]
Now that's some fancy schmancy evolution.
[Bewear nods]
Wait, I've seen that. [Looks inside his book] That Pokémon is a legend in the Alola region. It's Solgaleo.
Yeah? Where's all that talk of it being an Alolan Koffing?
Right. Koffing this and Koffing that.
[The camera cuts to a close-up of Jessie and Meowth's faces]
We just had to catch Proto-Koffing in order to save a face.
You blew it! Proto-Koffing and Nano-Koffing are phoney baloney Koffing.
[Wobbuffet appears on the left side of the screen]
[Wobbuffet then appears on the right side of the screen]
Say, this weather today...
I found myself on the mercy of the court.
[Jessie and Meowth are shocked by this, so is Wobbuffet]
[Everybody goes up the elevator to get their ride Pokémon. First, Ash and Pikachu climb aboard a Garchomp]
All right, Garchomp. I choose you!
Pikachu
Pika!
UGUltra Guardian Garchomp
Garchomp!
[Sophocles and Togedemaru jump on a Metang]
I'm counting on you, Metang!
[Meanwhile, Mallow and Steenee jump on a Flygon]
UGUltra Guardian Flygon
Fly!
[Lana and Popplio land on the back of a Dragonair]
UGUltra Guardian Dragonair
Eeee!
[Meanwhile, Lillie and Snowy land on the back of an Altaria]
UGUltra Guardian Altaria
Altaria!
[And Kiawe and his Marowak decide to ride on the back of Kiawe's Charizard]
I didn't expect to see you here. Ready to go, buddy?
KSKiawe's Charizard
Char!
[The gates open for each Ultra Guardian and their ride Pokémon, and each of the platforms they are standing on rotate 180 degrees. Then, they get sent up one by one. At the same time, the Alolan Exeggutors that stand outside the Pokémon School lean back as the river opens up, forming a waterfall. A platform in the water rises, as do the Ultra Guardians on their Pokémon. Then, the platforms go rolling along and the Pokémon go flying out of the waterfall and into the sky, with Garchomp and Metang going first]
UGUltra Guardian Garchomp
Gar!
UGUltra Guardian Metang
Metang!
[Garchomp and Metang are eventually followed by Flygon, Dragonair and Altaria...]
[...and finally, Kiawe's Charizard]
[One day, Ash, Pikachu, Rotom Dex and Poipole have arrived at Mallow's family restaurant]
Mallow, you still serving lunch? Oh. [He and Pikachu get covered in flour]
[Rotom Dex and Poipole float into view]
RDRotom Dex
What's going on?
[Ash and Pikachu splutter and get the flour off their faces]
[The camera cuts to Abe who has hurt himself and is now sitting on the floor]
Pikachu
Pika.
AAbe
I was carrying a heavy bag of flour and then... I'm fine, my back just gave out on me, that's all. And now upsie... [Feels the pain in his back] ...daisy. Argh!
Are you sure you're okay?
Pikachu
Pika.
AAbe
Can't. I've a lot of things to do to get ready for the Alola Bread Festival.
The Alola Bread Festival?
AAbe
That's right. You see, it's...
UUlu
Hold it right there!
[The camera reveals Ulu, the son of Abe and older brother of Mallow, who has just come into the restaurant with some golfing equipment]
UUlu
I'll do the explaining around here.
Pikachu
Pika.
RDRotom Dex
He's the one who sent us the recipe for that mysterious Alolan stew when he was out on his cooking journey.
[The title card comes up]
[voiceover] Sparking Confusion!
[The Ultra Guardians are flying across the sea to Akala Island]
The Ultra Guardians, their mission - investigate Wela Volcano and find the reason for this magnetic anomaly.
[Soon, some of the lava from Wela Volcano is bubbling and the Ultra Guardians have landed somewhere nearby for their ultra-important mission]
Checking from the sky isn't enough. We should investigate on foot.
Got it. [Steps up to Kiawe] So, how do we investigate a magnetic anomaly?
I borrowed a portable sensor.
[We see through Sophocles' portable sensor and see Ash and Kiawe in a black and white picture]
You can find an anomaly with that?
Right. And since we have two sensors, we should all probably split up into two groups.
Lillie's right. I'll search the area near the mines with Ash and Sophocles.
Got it. Then the three of us should check out the area we're in right now.
[The Ultra Guardians return their ride Pokémon to their Ultra balls]
KSKiawe's Marowak
Maro-Marowak! [Togedemaru and Pikachu follow it]
Pikachu
Pika-Pika!
[Kiawe, Ash and Sophocles go off to the mines with their partner Pokémon]
Now, let's see. [Her sensor starts up with a greyscale screen. Bright green triangles and arrows appear as they turn red right to left]
[Then, the three girls are shocked to discover three hikers. In real life, they are wearing green vests and carrying big brown backpacks]
HHikers
Yo! Yo! Yo! [They scurry off]
I get the feeling I've seen them before.
Pikachu
[excited] Pika!
[softly] Keep it down! Lillie needs to concentrate!
