Scenes with Cilan 54
[Both Snivy and Emolga's Attract cancel each other out as they are both females!]
[surprised] You're right! By any chance, does your Snivy happen to be a female?
[looking completely embarrassed] Argh, of course! I totally forgot!!
[Cut to Iris, Cilan, Pikachu and Axew with disbelieving expressions and face-fault.]
Iris [eyebrow twitching]: How many times will it take for Ash to learn that Attract doesn't work between girls!?
CCilan
Good question, although this is Ash after all!
[Pikachu and Axew sitting with their backs against each other, sweatdropping]
Pika-Pikachu... [My trainer is an idiot!]
[It gets worse...]
So who cares? Electric-type moves aren't very effective on Grass type Pokemon anyway.
Elesa [smiling indulgently]: I think you've forgotten something, Ash.
Emolga may be an Electric-type, but remember it's a Flying-type as well.
That's right! Flying-type moves are super effective against Grass-types...[freaks out immediately] OH MAN, SNIVY'S A GRASS-TYPE POKÉMON!! [Really Ash? How can you screw up this BAD?!]
[One day, some Pidove are flying in the sky as the camera pans down on a Pokémon Centre]
En route to Ash's next gym battle challenge in Driftveil City, our heroes have stopped at a Pokémon Centre for a bit of rest.
[Inside the Pokémon Centre, Ash is petting Pikachu]
Pika! [Squeals contentedly] Pikachuuu.
CCilan
True. It's a pleasure to witness a perfect match between Trainer and Pokémon.
Okay. [Touches the zip on his backpack]
Huh? You want more? Okay, buddy. You asked for it. [He laughs as he tickles Pikachu on the head]
How's that? Gotcha! Gotcha! Gotcha!
RRobert
[pointing to Pikachu] Check that out.
[A photographer named Robert has arrived]
RRobert
Tell me, is that your Pokémon?
RRobert
Can I take a picture?
RRobert
Great, thanks. [Takes some photographs of Pikachu with his camera] Perfect. Amazing. It's a real Pikachu.
RRobert
Priceless. [The camera cuts to Ash and then pans down to Pikachu] Uh... Awesome.
RRobert
There. The perfect shot. [Takes another photo of Pikachu]
CCilan
And my name's Cilan.
My name's Katharine. Gothita and I are travelling together on a Gym Battle journey.
Goth? Goth! [Really? Oh, right!] [runs around behind Katharine and pulls out her Unova Gym Badge case from her bag.] Gothita! [Behold our progress!] [The two badges shown are the Basic Badge and the Insect Badge. Katharine must have defeated Lenora and Burgh off-camera.]
You've got two Gym Badges! Cool!
Thanks alot. Are you on a journey for Gym Badges too?
So, how many do you have?
[whips out his badge case and shows off his four Gym Badges] See, I've got four of them.
Awesome! That's two more than I have.
Hey Katharine, are you on your way to Nimbasa City?
Yeah, Gothita is a huge fan of Elesa.
You've met her? [Are you serious?! Did you not see Ash's Bolt Badge?!]
I challenged Elesa at the Nimbasa Gym and won the Bolt Badge from her.
[With Mandibuzz defeated...]
CCilan
Mandibuzz is unable to battle! Tepig wins and the match goes to Ash!
Goth Goth Gothita Goth! [This is your fault for making Mandibuzz lose!]
[One day, Ash and Cilan are starting a practice battle with Swadloon and Stunfisk respectively. Iris, Axew and Pikachu are watching the battle from a nearby tree stump]
As our heroes make their way to the Driftveil City Gym and Ash's next Gym Battle, Ash has enlisted Cilan for a practice battle.
Okay, Cilan, we'll make the first move.
CCilan
Ready when you are.
Now, Swadloon, String Shot!
[But just as Swadloon uses its String Shot attack, Iris, Axew and Pikachu get blasted out of their tree stump seat. Ash catches Pikachu]
[Cilan catches Axew]
[Iris lands in front of Ash and looks behind]
[A Deino pops its head out of the rubble]
[The title card comes up]
[voiceover] The Lonely Deino!
[Ash scans the Deino that has just appeared]
ASAsh's Pokédex
Deino, the Irate Pokémon. Because Deino never stops biting anything it can, it is dangerous to approach without taking precautions.
D1Deino 1
Deino! [Runs off and crashes through some rocks]
Deino's a Dragon-Type, so leave it to me. [Approaches Deino] Deino, hi!
D1Deino 1
Deino! [Uses Headbutt on Iris who then lands on Axew]
Huh? [Sees two more Deinos eating the group's lunch] Not another Deino.
CCilan
Oh, they're gobbling up all our food!
[crossly] Nothing ticks me off more than stealing my food!
[Pikachu lunges at the two Deinos but the Deinos run away. Then, one of them bounces on him]
Use String Shot, Swadloon, and catch those Deino quick!
SSwadloon
Swadloon! [Uses String Shot, but it misses the two Deinos, one of which uses Headbutt on Ash]
CCilan
You just calm down! [Tries to catch the other Deino but fails]
[Meanwhile, the other Deino that Cilan tried to stop jumps on Stunfisk, making it blubber. Then, the two Deino hide in a bush and giggle]
Interesting! You want me to catch you, right? Okay.
[Ash and Pikachu get in Iris' way]
I want to catch one, too. Don't be selfish.
Come on! This was my idea. What a kid.
[It is nighttime on Milos Island, and in Lewis' cabin, Lewis' Lilligant is poorly whimpering in her sleep. Lewis, Cilan, Iris and Ash are sitting at the table looking at her]
CCilan
Is that a Lilligant?
[Ash scans Lilligant with his Pokédex]
ASAsh's Pokédex
Lilligant, the Flowering Pokémon. The beautiful flower on Lilligant's head gives off a relaxing fragrance, although getting it to bloom can be difficult even for a veteran Trainer.
LLewis
Well, you see, in the past, Lilligant has always helped me out while I search the forest for Revival Herbs, but then Lilligant started getting sick. And Lilligant's not the only one. [The camera cuts to the outside of Lewis' lodge] There's a group of Cottonee that always fly above the fields here. They've gotten sick as well.
CCilan
But do you have any idea why?
CCilan
Lilligant and Cottonee are both grass-type Pokémon.
LLewis
Yeah, it's possible that the land itself is somehow sick. That could be affecting them.
Why not use Revival Herbs?
LLewis
Because I can't find any. Without Lilligant, it's next to impossible and the Revival Herbs I do find are dried out. I'm sorry you came all this way for nothing.
Do you have any idea why Revival Herbs only grow on this island?
LLewis
Mm-hm. Well, it's kind of a long story, but I'll give it a shot. [Goes over to the shelf behind him] It's an ancient legend of Milos Island.
And why it's called the Island of Legends.
LLewis
That's right. [He shows Ash and his friends an ancient picture] It all started long ago. There's the legend of Landorus, the Abundance Pokémon. In ancient times, Landorus got caught in the middle of a battle between Savage Thundurus, the Bolt Strike Pokémon, and fierce Tornadus, the Cyclone Pokémon. So, Landorus came between them to try to stop their fighting, but Landorus was horribly wounded as a result. Then the inhabitants of the island used some Revival Herbs to heal Landorus' wounds. After regaining its strength, Landorus drove the battling Thundurus and Tornadus away. To thank the people who healed it, Landorus transformed the land into a fertile paradise. At least, that's how the legend goes.
LLewis
There's always been an abundance of Revival Herbs since then.
LLewis
But with this, if things don't change, Lilligant and Cottonee will get weaker while the whole forest dries up.
LLewis
We need it to rain, so, tomorrow, we're having a rain-making ceremony.
CCilan
And that will make it rain?
Amazing. This really is the Island of Legends!
CCilan
Of all the ridiculous... STOP THIS!!!
[Cilan angrily stomps off towards Skyla]
[Ash heads off with Cilan as well]
SSkyla
Thanks! I think I can squeeze in a quick flight.
[Ash & Cilan furiously march towards Skyla]
COME ON! YOU CALL THOSE GYM BATTLES?!!
CCilan
I DEMAND THAT YOU GIVE US AN EXPLAINATION, IN FULL!!!
[The title card comes up]
[voiceover] Search for the Clubultimate!
[The camera zooms out of the battlefield at the Clubsplosion stadium in Ambiga Town, where Burgundy is battling against Iris]]
Maintenant, it's Evaluation time, s'il vous plait. [Points to her opponent] It is my duty as a Pokémon connoisseusse to offer a cool and elegant move pour vous. Attention, Dewott, Ice Beam!
BSBurgundy's Dewott
Dewott! [Here comes Ice Beam!] [Uses Ice Beam]
[Georgia, Cilan and Ash are watching the battle from outside the battlefield]
They're using Ice Beam! When did they learn that?
[Excadrill dodges every Ice Beam attack by jumping as ice sculptures are formed]
BSBurgundy's Dewott
Wott! [Dodge this!] [Uses Ice Beam which uses Excadrill back. When the dust clears, it is revealed that some ice is stuck to Excadrill's body]
EExcadrill
Ex! [How stupid are you?!] [Breaks the ice]
[The camera cuts to Freddy O'Martian and Don George in the commentary booth]
FFreddy
And Excadrill deflects the Ice Beam. So, Don George, your thoughts about that?
DGDon George
Dewott's attacks are looking pretty sharp out there. But Excadrill's looking very confident as well. I would expect a tough battle.
[The camera cuts to the trainers watching the battle from outside the battlefield]
CCilan
Dewott may be stronger than I had originally thought. Excadrill and Iris may be facing a tough match.
Well those two had better win that tough match. I'm the only one allowed to beat that Dragon Master wannabe.
Don't worry, she's going to win.
[Later, at Ambiga Town's Pokémon Centre, everyone is having lunch, including Ash and his friends. Then, Burgundy speaks]
I'm OK, at least I didn't lost to you-know-who. Cilan, next time we battle, watch out - I'll win before you know what hit you. And stop with those boring remarks.
CCilan
Relax, Burgundy. I look forward to watching you get stronger.
And as for you, Iris - next time you're going down.
Not so fast! The only trainer who's going to beat Iris is me.
Excuse me, but you have to get through the first round first.
[Meanwhile, Ash smiles, but then he sees Trip who has just finished eating his own meal]
Hey, Trip. Done eating? Aren't you battling Bianca?
I suggest you worry about your own battles and not mine.
Take your Scraggy. [A flashback with Scraggy using Focus Blast plays] Scraggy seems to have learned Focus Blast, but it's obvious you can't depend on it. [The flashback ends] It needs to be more accurate. To be blunt, it's low-class.
What?! Hey, Trip, hold on. Ugh! [Turns to Scraggy] Scraggy, I want to see your Focus Blast again.
SScraggy
Scraggy. [Ok, then.]
[At night, Ash, Iris, Cilan and their Pokémon have gone to a diner in Astilbe Town]
CCilan
All right, it's dinner time, everybody. [The Pokémon start eating their food] Wow! look at them go. They must really like it a lot.
[But then, Tepig notices something]
Tepig? [He sees his former trainer, Shamus] Te... [Starts remembering how he got abandoned by Shamus] Tepig! [Runs up to Shamus delightfully] Tepig! Tepig! Tepig!
[Looks down to Tepig] Hmm? What's your problem?
Huh? [Gets out of his seat] That's my Tepig. Sorry.
[to Ash] Huh? Oh, it's you.
Tepig? [Puts his paw on Shamus' right leg] Tepig!
CCilan
Tepig seems to have taken a liking to that trainer, I would say.
Huh? Ash, remember that Tepig was abandoned by its original Trainer?
[horrified] Oh! [Flashback to when he tried to get the rope around Tepig's snout] Who could have done such a thing? [The flashback ends] I think it was at the battle club in Accumula Town.
CCilan
I see. This all must have happened before I started travelling with you.
[turning to Shamus] Could that be the guy?
[Iris bangs her hand on the table]
It's as clear as the hair on my head! [Goes to confront Shamus]
Iris, wait! [He and Cilan go to confront Shamus as well]
All right, what do you clowns want now?
I think my Tepig might be the same Pokémon you abandoned back at the Accumula Battle Club.
Oh? [Turns to Tepig] Huh. Lucky for you, this guy gave you a break.
[enraged] HOW dare you just throw away a Pokémon like that?!
I do what I want, thank you. It just felt right at the time.
[enraged] THAT'S JUST WRONG! SAY YOU'RE SORRY RIGHT NOW!
[Shamus picks up Tepig]
Not on your life. What a waste! [Throws Tepig and Ash catches him]
CCilan
Now let's just relax. It's judgement time!
CCilan
I am not a yoyo. [Puts on a judge's costume] In fact, I happen to be a judge connoisseur.
[As the heroes are riding in a limousine to Mr. Hatterly's mansion, they meet a familiar face at the gate]
CCilan
Burgundy? What are you doing here?
I came all this way because I heard they were looking for a skilled Pokemon Connoisseuse but they won't let me in!
BButler
You will have to forgive us. Mr. Hatterly requires the services of an A-Class Pokemon Connoisseur!
CCilan
Now let me see. You're a...
What's wrong with C-Class, monsieur?!
BButler
I fear a C-Class like yourself won't suffice. [Keep in mind, C-Class connoisseurs are beginners and are way less experienced when compared to A-Class Connoisseurs]
CCilan
I pride myself in my knowledge in all Pokemon Connoisseurs, but I've never heard of you.
'Fauxgundy': Uhh...I became an S-Class Connoisseur long before you two were born, that's it!
[unconvinced] Now that's strange. I didn't think there was a connoisseur association back then.
CCilan
Would you mind showing us your Connoisseur badge once more?
'Fauxgundy': Of all the INSULTING...[At the same time, a Lillipup starts playing with the badge] You give that back!
[Lillipup licks the badge causing the 'S' sticker to fall off revealing that it is just a 'C' Badge]
CCilan
Why, that's a C-Class badge!
You forged it to look just like an S-Class Badge!
'Fauxgundy': Give that back! [As 'Fauxgundy' tackles Lillipup, the outfit becomes ruined revealing it is none other than Burgundy]
