So does that mean Furfrou doesn't see you as it's real trainer yet?
HEY! BONNIE!
S17 E8Grooming Furfrou!
S17 E13Kindergarten Chaos!
[As the episode begins, we see Ash being challenged by a female trainer named Penelope]
If two trainers' eye happen to meet, the rule is they have a battle.
AAsh
Yeah, I agree. I'm Ash and this is my friend Pikachu.
Pikacha! [Nice to meet you!]
Uhhh...is that really a rule?
I'm not so sure it is a hard and fast rule, but it is pretty standard stuff.
My name is Penelope. Sylveon, come on out! [summons Sylveon into battle]
AAsh
[examining Sylveon] It kinda looks like Espeon. [He whips out his Pokedex]
KPKalos Pokedex
Sylveon, the Intertwining Pokémon and an evolved form of Eevee. Sylveon affectionately wraps its ribbon-like feelers around its Trainer's arm as they walk together.
AAsh
Wow, so it is an evolved form of Eevee after all.
Hey Ash, did you know that Sylveon is a Fairy-type Pokemon?
AAsh
No. Fairy-type? [Note: In this episode, Ash learns about Fairy-types]
Yeah, Dedenne is a Fairy-type too!
Ne-Ne! [It's true!]
Promise me something. If I happen to beat you in our battle, you're coming with me, sweetie.
[horrified that Penelope is "flirting" with Ash] Is she serious?! Her and Ash?! No way!
[Froakie loses to Sylveon, but recovers by eating an Oran Berry]
Well, I won. So now you have to keep your word, sweetie, and come with me.
Huh? She's serious! You're gonna go with her?
[At the kindergarten playground, Penelope had just led Ash and company through the entrance.]
AAsh
Look at all the kids...
Pika...
This looks like some sort of kindergarten class. Are you a teacher here?
Yes. Did everybody behave while I was out?
You see, my Sylveon and I go out into the fields and forests everyday and the two of us make friends with wild Pokemon and we bring them back here with us.
HTHead Teacher
We do this so the children can meet and learn all about them.
Interesting.
AAsh
You could have told us that right from the start. Right buddy?
Pika! [Agreed!]
Oh, so that's why Penelope wanted Ash to come here with her. [You thought Penelope was going to ask Ash out on a date, Serena?]
S17 E15An Appetite for Battle!
So weird! Did I drop some?
I hope not.
[Chespin is hiding behind a bush nearby. Clemont suddenly spots Chespin]
Huh? Hey, Chespin! Did you take all the macarons again?
S17 E24An Undersea Place to Call Home!
[Clemont's No-Hard-Feelings-Fair-and-Square Lottery Device picks Ash and Serena as winners to ride the submarine]
AAsh
Yeah! We won!
Alright, we won!
Aww man...and we lost.
I WAS COUNTING ON YOU!
Ne-ne-ne! [Way to go, Clemont!]
Well, science determined our fate fair and square. So, no hard feelings...[Both Clemont and Bonnie's pictures fall off the losing arrow]
S17 E25Climbing the Walls!
AAsh
There it is, Pikachu.
Pikachu!
AAsh
Can't wait to go and challenge Grant so we can beat the Cyllage City Gym!
Pikachu!
Of course Ash is sure that he'll win. [Numerous people around the plaza turn to Ash's attention about his enthusiasm. They sure look happy that someone is going to challenge the Gym Leader.]
So, what were you thinking about when you were climbing?
AAsh
Uh...well...I wasn't thinking about anything.
That's perfect. So what were you looking at?
AAsh
Hmmm...Straight up where I was going!
Excellent. That means you achieve the state of enlightenment. Your mind was crystal clear, unclouded. Now that you've successfully conquered the wall, the next wall you're going to need to conquer is me. And that's what you came here for, challenger.
Uhhh...question, why do you have challengers climb the wall?
So that inner peace can be achieved.
Inner peace?
What does that mean?
Scaling the wall. It's the best way I know to achieve the state of enlightenment. When I do that, I forget about everything else and the only thing I can concentrate on is reaching the top. That is my one and only goal. The only thing I want is to arrive at my destination. As long as there is a wall for me to climb, I will rise to the challenge. I want challengers to achieve the same state of enlightenment when they climb up here to me.
[Both Ash and Grant are ready to send in their first Pokemon]
I've really been looking forward to your challenge since I saw you battle back at the Battle Chateau. Now let's see which Pokemon you plan to use to scale the wall. And that wall is me. Onix, let's go! [readies and summons Onix]
[Froakie starts hopping on the rocks of Onix's Rock Tomb, dodging all of them, much to Grant's shock. Viola should take notes on this battle!]
AAsh
Keep on jumping higher! [Froakie continues to do so]
How is it possible?!
AAsh
We saw that Rock Tomb at the Battle Chateau and I knew we had to beat it for me to earn a badge. So we did some special training to come up with a way to counteract that move!
[admirably] I'm beyond impress.
[Grant's Onix loses to Froakie]
Thanks. Great job, Onix. Please return. [recalls Onix] You're quite a surprise, Ash. It's exactly what Viola warned me about. She advised me not to underestimate you and she was quite correct.
AAsh
The best defense is a good offense. That's the way I battle.
