[The title card comes up]
[voiceover] Cottonee in Love!
[The camera pans down from the sky to where Scraggy is lying with a Cottonee floating beside it]
Nimbasa City, the next step on Ash's path to the Unova League, remains the focus for our travelling heroes.
Whoa, who that's Pokémon?
That, Ash, is a Cottonee.
[Ash scans the wild Cottonee with his Pokédex]
Ash's Pokédex: Cottonee - the cotton puff Pokémon. Cottonee shoots cotton to distract its opponent when attacked, and travels around wherever the blowing wind carries it.
[Scraggy gets up and glares at Cottonee]
CCottonee
Cotton-ee! [Shoots some cotton puff at Scraggy]
SScraggy
Scraggy! Scrag, scrag, scrag! Scrag, scrag.
It's rather unusual to see a Cottonee all by itself this time of year.
[A fantasy featuring some Cottonee begins]
You see, under normal circumstances, Cottonee will gather in large groups and then happily pair up.
[The fantasy ends as Iris approaches Ash and Cilan]
So it's like a big singles get together.
[The Cottonee fantasy resumes]
Uh, I guess you could say that. Then after they've found a partner, the happy couples ride the winds as they start new lives together.
[Back in the present, Iris eats a green apple]
How romantic can you get?
Though it sounds a little less romantic with your mouth full!
Of course! So the couples are like really good buddies, right?
That's so like you. You're such a little kid!
[Bianca notices Zorua in its Georgia disguise in the hallway]
Georgia! You haven't seen Zorua, have you?
[Zorua shakes its head and points down the hallway]
[Bianca notices Georgia in the hallway]
Georgia! You haven't seen Zorua, have you? Uh…
[Zorua, in its Georgia disguise, giggles and leaps onto Georgia for a hug]
[Ash, Iris and Cilan's Pokémon are on the roof of the runaway subway car when Pansage and Pikachu start attacking the Team Rocket chopper's hooks]
PPansage
Pansage! [Uses Bullet Seed on one of the chopper's hooks]
Pikachu! [Uses Thunderbolt on the other hook]
[Inside the cab of the first subway car, Team Rocket are watching what is happening]
They just don't know when to quit, do they?
[Meowth checks the monitor and sees a dot on the left catching up with the one on the right]
Huh? What's that? [Sees Ash, Iris, Cilan, Ingo and Emmet on the crew car which is being powered by Emmet's Eelektross] The twerps!
[outraged] Ugh! Oh, great. [The camera cuts to the chopper's hooks which are about to capture our heroes' Pokémon as Pikachu and Pansage try to destroy them] Dr Zager, twerps!
[off camera] Secure that car, quickly!
ZDr Zager
Quiet! This delicate operation requires finesse.
[On the roof of the second car, Snivy has begun attacking one of the chopper's hooks using Vine Whip. Then, she, Excadrill, Axew and Roggenrola see Ash and his friends with Ingo and Emmet aboard the crew car]
Hang on, guys, we're here!
[Dwebble, Pansage, Snivy, Roggenrola, Excadrill, Pikachu, Tepig and Axew are delighted to see their Trainers again, but the chopper's hooks are grabbing hold of the car. The camera then cuts to Cilan, Ash, Iris, Ingo and Emmet on the crew car]
We've got to do something fast!
[to Ingo and Emmet] I'm going to get on that train.
IIngo
But, Ash, that's too dangerous.
EEmmet
You could be hurt.
They've tried so hard, I've got to try and do something!
All of our Pokémon are depending on us!
EEmmet
Ingo, I completely understand what these kids are feeling. We're dedicated to protect the subway system, they're dedicated to protect their Pokémon, it's the same thing.
IIngo
I know exactly what you mean. And I think my partner will be able to help as well. Chandelure, all aboard! [Sends out Chandelure]
ISIngo's Chandelure
Chandelure.
Ingo, the lustre your Chandelure produces is simply beautiful!
[Ash scans Chandelure with his Pokédex]
ASAsh's Pokédex
Chandelure - the Luring Pokémon and the evolved form of Lampent. Chandelure uses its dancing flames to hypnotise opponents.
IIngo
Chandelure, use Psychic! Get everyone on the other subway car!
CChandelure
Chandelure! [Uses Psychic on Cilan, Ash and Iris]
CACilan, Ash & Iris
Whoa!
And with such a warm, gentle glow!
IIngo
Full speed ahead! [Points to the car on the other side of the railway tracks]]
[Chandelure uses Psychic to transfer Cilan, Ash and Iris to the car that their Pokémon are standing on]
Pika-pi! [Jumps into Ash's arms]
I'm sorry we took so long.
[Iris picks up Axew and hugs him]
[Ash and his friends have happily reunited with their Pokémon]
Everyone's all right. Great!
