[enters the centre's wing] Look like Pikachu is feeling better. [His Charizard takes a look inside]
It was a good battle. Lots of fun too.
I've feel the exact same way.
It made me think back my very first Pokémon battle. A great time. [The flashback revealed that Leon's Charmander lost to a Rookidee owned by Sonia herself. Leon gets upset about this loss.] Yet frustrated. Of course, that's what a Pokémon battle really is. From now on, I'm just another challenger. I'll have lots of battles and become even stronger.
Me too! I want to have tons of battles!
[extends his hand] Let's battle again sometime.
[accepts Leon's handshake] You got it! [Pikachu delivers a friendly headbutt to Charizard]
It's getting to be about time for the award ceremony, Ash!
Hey Leon, you're coming too, right?
[Since Ash vs. Leon was happening at the same time, we get to see Project Mew. The Chasers had just landed on the island. Time to start the search but a little sightseeing full of wild Pokémon living there, first.]
This place is teeming with Pokémon life.
HHorace
It's truly a Pokémon paradise.
QQuillon
Let's go. [Time to get back to the mission]
[At the mountain base]
Does it have to be that tall?
HHorace
And it gives off a pristine vibe.
DDanika
Ancient fishermen gave it the name of Sharishariima.
QQuillon
A sound like an evil monster attacking humans.
One shouldn't even approach a mountain of horrors like that. Wasn't that the message? [Sure, unless there is something important to find in that area.]
DDanika
Geologically, this mountain is very important. It hasn't changed its shape in several hundred million years.
QQuillon
In ancient times, this might have been the axis or the centre of the world.
[While camping out with Grookey, Cinderace, Ash, Pikachu, Chloe, and Eevee, Goh rises from his chair and looks at Ash, preparing to come clean about traveling on his own]
Hm? [Chloe looks at the duo] What's up, Goh?
[Goh starts to hesitate, then smiles, unwilling to leave Ash for the sake of their friendship]
No, it's really nothing. I'm sorry.
[looking at the starry night] The stars are really pretty tonight, you know?
[also rising from his chair] Goh?
I'm taking another journey. [Both Goh and Chloe gasped in shock at what Ash just said] I'll be heading out with Pikachu, of course.
[Logs burning in the fire begin to tumble still, as Goh looks down, feeling betrayed by Ash's intention to continue his journey without him]
[distraught] You're heading out... without... talking about it?
And you're doing it... without asking anybody?!
So we weren't... GOOD FRIENDS AFTER ALL!!! [tearfully running away from the camp with Grookey and Cinderace, taking his bag with him] WE'RE THROUGH!!!
[Ash and Pikachu are left stunned and perplexed by Goh's reaction]
The thing is... Goh is conflicted.
But he just couldn't decide all by himself. He thought that would betray your friendship. [taking her bag with her] Maybe you didn't realize how much you mean to him. You're the first real friend he's made.
[Chloe leaves the camp with Eevee in search for Goh, while Ash and Pikachu sees them off before going to find Goh as well]
[Both Ash and Pikachu reach a fork in the road. Which route to take?]
So which one should we take?
Pika. [Let's decide] [Ash finds a nearby stick near one of the tree roots.]
Right. This'll decide. How about we go where the leaves point? [He tosses the stick in to the air allowing Pikachu to swat it with his tail. The stick spins into the air for a bit before landing and pointing towards the left.] To the left! [The two start, only for Ash to turn around. Are you for real, Ash?] I thought so but I want to go the other way. It just sort of hit me. [Pikachu retaliates by zapping Ash's hat off.]
[Something invisible has crashed into a lake. Ash, Pikachu, Sceptile, Noivern and Donphan all check it out]
Something's over there. [The figure becomes visible and shows off its redness] Isn't that? [He pulls Latias to the surface] Hang in there, Latias. [Latias is freaking out and tries to flee only to fail because it is too injured.] Stop! Calm down! Please! What's wrong, Latias? I'm sorry I scared you. [Both Ash and Latias head towards the lakeshore, only to sink.] Buizel! [summons his Buizel. Buizel does help push Latias to the shore.] Hey, thanks, that's awesome.
KKathy
Thanks for your patience. Here's some sandwiches and a dish of some special Pokémon food.
AMAsh and Misty
Wow! Time to dig in!
But I feel like I've tasted something like this before.
I was just thinking the exact same thing.
These are the most delicious things I've had. [At this point, Kathy is carrying a couple drinks on a tray and passing by hearing the two's conversations]
KKathy
Why thank you. Mr. Chef, you're being praised! Come on out!
Ah ha. Thank you so much. [What on earth are you doing here?! Shouldn't you be working as a doctor?]
AMAsh and Misty
Hey, it's Brock!
Ash! Misty! [Pikachu jumps onto Brock's shoulder]
Pikachu! [Hello again, Brock!]
Nice to see you, Pikachu.
Brock, so what are you doing here?
What does it look like? I've taken a job here as the restaurant's head chef, of course. [Oh, you have got to be kidding the fans!]
But you're a Pokémon doctor!
I chose this! I'm devoting my life to helping her all she does.
[A voice off-camera recognizes Ash. Could it be...]
Huh? Ash? [Both Ash and Misty turn their attention to Ash's former Unova companion]
It really is you! [Ash and Cilan shake hands]
BABoth Ash and Cilan
Long time!
You're the one who gave Ash that lure.
Meet my good friend from a bunch of journeys. You'll love her!
I am Cerulean Gym Leader, Misty, with beauty known around the world!
But of course. A sensational sister of Cerulean City. [Fans think only Daisy deserves the title, not Lily and Violet.]
They're my three older sisters.
Sisters? So Sensational sisters and a side of weak tea...
WEAK TEA?! ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A FIGHT?!
Uhhh...that wasn't what I meant.
The Twerps are history! Where did they go?
How unusual. They were headed this way...
If this keeps up, I'll never get the sweet head pat rewards from the loving hands of the Boss.
Moving up to division leadership!
Social advancement and a party!
Oh, wait. Who is that Pokémon?
With this, I've discovered I'm still going to need a lot more experience. So, I'll travel with Ash and crew and train up my heart the right way. [Now, that's what fans are talking about. Don't give up on your doctor job.]
Wow, another good friend is coming along.
That means we'll have great food!
Yeah and meals Brock and Cilan make are totally awesome.
As much as I appreciate the compliments, I'm on my own from here.
Huh? You're not travelling with us?
Ingo and Emmett will be holding an event to unveil a brand new train car and I really have to be there! There will be a new lunchbox!
Really? Then let's meet up again!
And best wishes! Take good care!
Best wishes for a great journey!
