[The title card comes up. Note: In this episode, the usual title card jingle is replaced with dub music]
[voiceover] Thank you Alola! The Journey Continues!
[The scene cuts to Team Rocket in Bewear's den]
Ahhhhh! [Bewear stuffs honey in their mouths, with Wobbuffet going first, then James, Jessie, and finally Meowth] YUMMY!
[Mareanie pops up with some honey on her tentacle]
MMareanie
Marea? [Feeds Stufful and Mimikyu with some honey from her tentacle] Marea! [The R capsule rings] Mar?
Puh-lease! Who wants to see that bob-cut glasses goon gal while we eat?
Or that annoying Alolan Meowth big mouth?
[Mimikyu answers the R capsule and it opens]
[Giovanni appears on a hologram screen on the R capsule]
Well, good morning, team.
Yipes! It's the Boss! [They stand up to Giovanni]
We bid you an extra-good morning!
I'll get to the point. I'm ordering you all back to headquarters.
Hooray! We're all going back to headquarters! [Everyone is horrified] Headquarters?!
Wobbu-wobbu?! (As in, back in Kanto?!)
MMatori
Giovanni is looking forward to seeing all the fruits from your labour from your time in Alola.
MSMatori's Alolan Meowth
Meowth, Meowth, Meowth, Meowth, Meowth. (Don't be late and let us down)
[angrily] If I had fruits, I'd throw 'em at YOU! [The camera cuts to inside Team Rocket's headquarters] You no-talent LUMP!
MMatori
Stop that. It's unsightly.
Just put a cork in it! [Takes Meowth away from the R capsule]
Giovanni: I expect results.
[The hologram disappears]
Now what? We need Alolan product.
[Mimikyu gives Stufful a fruit and Stufful eats it. It then becomes satisfied]
MMareanie
[Racing up to Stufful] Marean. Mareanie.
SStufful
Stufful! [Hugs Mimikyu]
MMareanie
Rean! [Bewear strokes her on the head] Mar?
[Team Rocket are looking sad]
[A depressed Mimikyu admits to Meowth that it tried to fight Pikachu but ended up seeing itself as a monster upon looking at its reflection in the ocean]
Being down on your looks won't do you any good. This may be a good time to stop pretending and accept yourself for who you really are.
MMimikyu
[makes garbled noises and cleans its disguise becoming happy again] [You're right! I should be a better Pokémon and accept for who I am!]
[As the Team Rocket Gang are ready to depart back to Kanto, they say goodbye to Bewear and hop into their balloon]
GThe gang
[taking a bow] Thank you for your hospitality.
[Bewear walks over to them scaring the group]
DON'T BREAK US LIKE A WALNUT!
We're too young to get squished! [Fortunately, Bewear gives them a gentle hug]
Bewear. [I'll miss you guys.]
Okay, we hate to eat and run but...[the rest of the gang joins in]...later!
Bewear. Bewear-wear. [Are you guys heading to Kanto?]
Say, what? We're headed to Kanto? Yeah, but why are you asking?
[grabs the balloon and hurls them into the sky like a hammer] Weeaarr!! Weeaarr!! [Hang on! Goodbye friends!]
[Rotom's flashback concludes]
The best Pokédex in the universe.
I want to go on an adventure, too.
I'm sorry, Lana. Solgaleo was in a big hurry.
Guess we should expect things like this from you, Ash.
There's one more thing. I have to tell you something.
MLMallow, Lana, Lillie, Sophocles & Kiawe
Huh?
I'm gonna go home to Pallet Town.
MLMallow, Lana, Lillie, Sophocles & Kiawe
Huh?
You see, ever since Pikachu and I came to Alola, we've met you and tons of Pokémon. We learned lots of things at the Pokémon School. Yeah, it's been really the best, but now, I think... I'm going back home for a while and then I'm going to check out some other places.
Pika! [Jumps down onto Ash's right arm]
That'll give me a new chance to meet more new people and tons of new Pokémon and have a lot of Pokémon battles and get stronger and stronger. Someday, I'll do what I set out to do - become a Pokémon Master!
[realising that Ash has a new goal in life] You're not just talking about this vacation, you're really going...
[putting his right hand over his mouth] Aw, man. How about a warning, huh?
Yeah, really! W-What a shock!
The only surprise today was supposed to be Lillie's party.
It seems like I'm getting nothing but surprises, you know?
Ash, I'm sure you can become a Pokémon Master.
Mm-hm. I'll be cheering you on! We all will!
[At the docks, near a cruise ship, the Pokémon are saying their goodbyes to Lillie and her family's Pokémon. Meanwhile, Professor Burnet is hugging Lusamine who is dressed in blue]
Take care, Lusamine. [She and Lusamine step back and reveal Gladion and Lillie who are also wearing smart clothes to wear on their journey of searching for their father, Mohn]
[The camera cuts to Ash and his friends who have come with them to the docks]
I'll have a souvenir from Mossdeep City waiting for you when you get back, Lillie!
That's something to look forward to.
I hope you find your father really soon!
If you guys need anything from us, please let us know.
See you later. Take care.
[approaches Ash] The world seems big, but it's not. So when we meet again...
What else? We'll have a battle! [Shakes hands with Gladion]
[Then, the ship's horn blares]
RDRotom Dex
This calls for a photo, so gather round, everyone! [Everyone stands or sits in front of the cruise ship that Lillie and her mother and brother will be boarding] Now everybody say, "Silvally!" [Takes the photograph]
[Soon, the cruise ship leaves the dock, and Lillie, Gladion and their mother Lusamine are among the passengers. They see everyone on the dock waving goodbye, including Ash, Lana, Sophocles, Professor Kukui, Professor Burnet, Faba and Hobbes. Then, after several flashbacks, Lillie runs to the stern of the ship to give Ash a proper farewell]
Ash, can you hear me?! You know what? I'm really happy I got to meet you! You helped me out so much! After meeting you, I was finally able to become friends with Pokémon!
THANK YOU! [both Snowy and Megearna also bid farewell to Ash]
Lillie... I'm glad I got to meet you, and thank you, too!
