NARRATOR Continuing their shipboard

journey to the Kanto Region

our heroes have arrived at another

of the Decolore Islands

along with Pokémon journalist Alexa.

Conley Comet, huh?

[INCREDULOUS] Right, and tonight is special

because the comet will be passing

over this particular island.

ALEXA And that's the place to see it.

The Conley Comet is beautiful.

And it's only visible to the naked eye

once every ten years or so.

To be able to witness such a fantastic celestial display

is a lifetime dream come true.

And the information I've collected tells me that a group

of Pokémon mysteriously gather on the mountain.

The strange thing is, they appear to get together

only as the comet approaches.

Wow! So, why do they do that?

Honestly? I haven't the foggiest idea.

But this Pokémon journalist has every intention

of getting to the bottom of it.

[EMPHATIC]

I can't wait to see what kind of Pokémon will be there.

[EXCITED]

ASH Celebrating The Hero's Comet!

ASH Oh! Check it out!

- Unbelievable! - Amazing!

[IMPRESSED]

You see, this island once had quite a large population

and they were very prosperous.

It's easy to see the proof from these ruins.

So, what do you say we stop here and have an early dinner?

[AGREEABLE]

[DELIGHTED]

According to recovered records from long ago

several groups of Pokémon attacked all the islanders.

- Why would they do that? - That's weird.

ALEXA 'They tried unsuccessfully

to subdue the attacking Pokémon'

and before they knew it, the entire island

had found itself thrown into complete chaos.

Did the islanders surrender?

Yes, but all of a sudden, a young Pokémon Trainer

appeared out of nowhere.

Look, I'll show you.

He was a hero.

Huh? What? Uh, oh!

I know I put it in here! Where is it? Oh, no!

'Come on, it's got to be here somewhere!'

[chuckles]

Guess it's gone.

[IMPATIENT]

[EXCITED]

There it is! Guess I put it in that bag.

[AMUSED]

Thank you!

Let's see.

That's a really old book.

It's something I stumbled across

while I was researching this island.

Yes, here it is!

'This is the hero I was talking about.'

- Wow! - A hero.

ALEXA A long, long time ago,

this peaceful island

was suddenly attacked by a group of Pokémon.

But then, a young man arrived from across the sea.

His name was Conley.

So in order to save the exhausted islanders

from further conflict

Conley skillfully led the group of attacking Pokémon

up to the very top of the mountain.

And when he and the Pokémon arrived there

he raised his hand toward the night sky

and a bright comet suddenly appeared and lit up the land.

The Pokémon were awestruck.

To them, it seemed as though Conley knew

of the comet's existence before it appeared.

The anger within the Pokémon subsided.

They became his friends

and peace was restored to the island.

Soon, trainers were traveling here

from all over the world to challenge Conley

and after word got around

he decided to stay on the island with the Pokémon.

You mean Trainers came here to battle him?

That's right.

ALEXA A battlefield was constructed

on top of the mountain

and Conley fought many splendid battles there.

They say he never lost.

He never lost? That's amazing!

I sure wish I could have battled him, too.

The islanders proclaimed him their hero

'and a comet was named after him to memorialize'

'his remarkable accomplishments.'

And we'll actually be able to see the Conley Comet tonight.

I'm going to videotape

that group of Pokémon on the mountain for sure.

[IMPRESSED]/[EAGER]

[EXCITED]

- Hear that? - Loud and clear.

Let them all blabber on about some hero

and his namesake comet.

All the better for us to catch Pikachu

while the Twerps are preoccupied.

Their teeny Twerp brains should make that a breeze.

So, shall we get going?

ASH/IRIS/CILAN Great.

ANIMA 'Please, wait.'

- Huh? - Huh?

Who are you?

[CURIOUS]

Did I hear you say you're all hiking up to the mountain top?

Yes, that's our plan.

ANIMA In that case,

please take this with you.

[gasps]

What's that?

I'm sure you'll find it useful.

And please be careful.

[gasping]

Hey! What's your name?

CILAN Excuse me!

- I guess she's gone. - But who was she?

Who knows?

I feel like I've seen that medal before.

Huh?

ALEXA 'Never mind! Probably not.

Why don't we get going?'

[grunting]

Do we seriously have to put on

these goofy get ups?

It's the element of surprise.

We'll grab Pikachu while their Twerpish pinheads

are all spinnin' around.

And what better way than looking like Ghost Types.

Yup!

I would say this mission requires

first-rate skills as an actor.

Only those endowed with extensive

acting experience could pull this off.

And that requirement has my name written all over it.

JESSIE So, it's time to tout talent

that would knock the socks off of any Poké-star-studio star.

JAMES/MEOWTH Har har!

It doesn't look like any of the Pokémon

are up on the mountain yet.

We need to stay calm, and make sure we don't upset them.

[ALERT]

[SUSPICIOUS] Hey, buddy. Something wrong?

[UNSURE]/[EXCITED]

Look! There it is!

'Right! It's the battlefield ruin.'

It's so cool to think this is where Conley had his battles.

[IMPRESSED]

Well, why don't we go in?

Yeah, it's a little spooky.

But don't worry. Everything will be just fine.

[INTENT]

- 'Huh?' - Huh?

[screaming]

Oh, dear, did they all frighten you?

[SCARED]

That was no big deal. It's just a bunch of Woobat.

[CONFIDENT] Hmm.

[INTENT]

Huh? Oh!

[INTENT]

Huh? Venipede. That's all.

Look at you freaking out over a group of Venipede. Little kid.

[grunts]

Do you think those Pokémon are the ones who gather here?

Or do you think they live here?

- Well.. - Oh, yeah.

Well, you're the littlest kid.

Not as little as you! You're littler than little!

JAMES Huh?

Here they come.

Ready?

- Ready! - Ready!

[panting]

Oh, wow!

Is that..

It looks like a statue of Conley.

And what a magnificent statue it is.

Someone must have spent a lot of time sculpting it.

Awesome.

It vividly demonstrates how well-respected and liked he was

by islanders and Pokémon alike.

This ruin was probably the most important

location on the whole island.

[IMPRESSED]

Huh?

[clamoring]

HELIOPTILE [SCARED]

- Who are they? - It's Dusknoir and Gengar.

Banette, too.

PIKACHU [WORRIED]

[SCARED]/[ATTACK]

[screaming]

[groaning]

JESSIE This thing must weigh a ton!

You get off of me this instant!

[grunts]

I refuse to be my own stunt person.

Manual labor isn't in my contract.

My agent's going to hear about this.

ASH Huh?

Prepare for trouble, it's us.

- Can the motto. - Don't steal her line.

- Team Rocket! - You guys never learn!

[ANGRY]

We know that catching Pikachu is the right thing to do.

- True. - True.

JAMES Go, Amoon..

- Huh? - Huh?

[screaming]

MEOWTH What's with the weightlessness?

JESSIE Put us down, now!

[PSYCHIC MOVE]

- Whose eyes are those? - Huh?

[INTENT]

ASH 'Gengar and Banette.'

But those are real!

Of course, I get it.

CILAN Team Rocket can't move

because they're using Psychic on them.

- Some nerve. - You clowns put me down!

- Right. Put me down too. - And me three.

[screams]

[AMUSED]

- Oh, you flattened my hair! - And my charm!

Reconstructive dental work costs a fortune.

[AMUSED]/[MISCHIEVOUS]

- Do they care? - Don't bet on it.

[whimpering]

Hey, you guys knock it off!

[SCARED]/[MISCHIEVOUS]

Nothing to worry about, Helioptile.

Noivern! I need your help!

[CONFIDENT]

Noivern, whoa! [AWESTRUCK]

Use Dragon Pulse!

[DRAGON PULSE MOVE]

[ALARMED]

[whimpering]

Now, let's get out of here!

Quick! Move out!

- Right! - Right.

ASH/CILAN/IRIS Who's that Pokémon?

ASH/CILAN/IRIS It's Banette!

BANETTE [HAPPY]

[gasping]

Uh, is everybody alright?

Yeah, we're good.

[CALM] Man, what an awesome Pokémon.

'You said its name is Noivern?'

'Yes. Noivern's really dependable.'

But it has the habit of getting a little fussy.

Fussy?

[AGITATED] [screams]

Hey! That's some breath you got, pal!

- Take your teeth off of Meowth! - We need the head in one piece!

Jaws off!

Oh, I'm sorry. Here, eat this.

This is no time to be chowing down on berries! Okay.

Not you! It's for Noivern!

[screaming]

My mouth is burning down!

What kind of berry was that?

It's a Spelon Berry. It's a bit hot.

Now, that's an understatement.

They're some of the spiciest of all.

They have a flavor that's hotter than fire.

Whoa!

ALEXA 'Here, Noivern.'

[PLEASED]

ALEXA I have to reward it

with a Spelon Berry

or else it gets hyper and bites everything in sight.

Yeah? That berry bit me!

Alright, move along.

First I want to know

why those Pokémon would attack us like that?

Those Gengar and Banette

were totally out to get us, weren't they?

For sure. They weren't like the Woobat and Venipede.

It's possible those Gengar and Banette

are all here because of the celestial display.

You know, Cilan, you might be right.

So if that's true, there must be a reason they attacked us.

- Huh? - Huh?

- Huh? - Ah!

I know why! They attacked us because of you!

Why, the nerve! We're clean as the wind-driven snow.

- Innocent. - Lay off.

CILAN 'But if they gathered here on

the night the comet appears'

then that means they all must have the utmost reverence

for Conley the hero!

And guess what?

You three knocked over Conley's statue

'and then threw it, remember?'

That's why they got angry! You sure messed up this time.

[ANGRY]

GENGAR/BANETTE [MENACING]

- Uh, oh, here we go again. - And they look mad!

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]

[NIGHT SHADE MOVE]

- Let's go! - Okay!

I'm never buying property on this mountain.

Huh?

ASH 'Dusknoir too?'

Axew, hang on!

[MENACING]

Wait, why are you lame lugs going that-a-way?

I was just about to ask you the same thing.

If we ever get out of this mess, see you!

[INTENT]

- Hey! - Huh?

- Move it! - Out of the way!

You guys are so rude!

[panting]

Not only are you scared, you have no manners.

- Respect your elders. - What do you mean?

- You're a kid! - No, you're a kid!

Can't this wait for another time?

Let's concentrate on putting the hero's statue back where it was!

- Huh? - Hmm?

That's a good idea.

Maybe that will calm the angry Pokémon down.

[HOPEFUL]

Those Gengar are booking faster than we are!

Guess we'll have to use Thunderbolt! Pikachu!

[CONFIDENT]/[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[PAINED]/[STUNNED]

Alright!

- Huh? - Here we go.

[MENACING]

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]

- Look out! - Yipes!

[screaming]

[groans]

[SURPRISED]

[INTRIGUED]

[INCREDULOUS]

[URGENT]

What's going on with all of them?

Aha!

They're saying this is their hero Conley's medal.

So now they're thinking maybe these Trainers

aren't a bunch of evil peeps after all.

Really? This is Conley's medal?

[INCREDULOUS] [SATISFIED]/[RESOLVED]

Now they're saying they're gonna take you out

to check the battlefield, pronto.

To the battlefield?

- Heave! - Heave!

You can do it! Just a little more!

I want to see some real oomph!

- Ho! - Ho!

- 'Heave, ho.' - 'Heave, ho.'

[groans] [chuckling]

[PLEASED] Look! Banette!

Notice your hero's back where he belongs.

Now could you please forgive us?

[WARM]

Hmm. Huh? Hm.

CILAN 'Up there.'

IRIS 'Is that Conley?'

It must be! So that means..

- Huh? - Oh, my goodness.

- Huh? - It opened!

Where do you think you're going?

IRIS Come on!

[INTENT]

Now, what's going to happen?

Well, I suppose we'll find out soon enough.

So this must be the battlefield ruin.

Yeah.

MEOWTH 'It's the hero's statue.'

[gasping]

- Iris! Cilan! - Look, it's Ash!

Alexa! Hey!

What a relief everyone's alright.

Why are you guys riding with the statue?

First the guys put the statue back in place

and then it brought us here.

Say, we just solved a mystery!

When Conley the hero calmed down the attacking Pokémon

and made friends with them

they must have been these Ghost Type Pokémon.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

That's incredible.

As soon as they saw this medal

they realized we weren't their enemies, but their friends.

IRIS Huh?

ASH 'See, this medal'

'belonged to Conley, the hero.

[ALARMED]

Pikachu! [SCARED]

Well, well. Bottled Pikachu.

[URGENT]

What do you think you're doing?

The thing we do best, you silly Twerp, you!

Asking dumb things is the best you can do.

To protect the world from devastation.

To unite all people within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love.

To extend our reach to the stars above.

- It's Jessie. - And James.

Team Rocket hits the jackpot at the speed of light.

Surrender now or prepare for one historic fight.

Meowth, that's right!

- My Pikachu! - What are you, two?

You should learn to speak a little more like someone

who's older than their shoe size.

Of course, that would imply you have brains.

Besides, Pikachu belongs to us!

Our ride's at my side! Time to do the Team Rocket slide.

[grunting]

- Come back! - You can't do that!

Sorry. We're leaving you flat!

[URGENT] Pikachu!

They're really getting away with Pikachu!

How are we going to stop them?

[OUTRAGED]/[PSYCHIC MOVE]

MEOWTH Eh?

Who's rocking the boat?

Gengar and the gang are using Psychic!

[screaming]

[DISTRESSED]

Pikachu!

Are you okay, buddy? [RELIEVED]

Thank goodness. And thanks to all of you.

[PLEASED]

- You leave us with no choice. - Right!

Frillish! Bubble Beam!

[CONFIDENT]/[BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

Amoonguss! Hidden power!

[HIDDEN POWER MOVE]

Noivern, one more time!

[CONFIDENT] Use Boomburst!

[AFFIRMATIVE]/[BOOMBURST MOVE]

[ALARMED]

- What's Boomburst? - One of its strongest moves.

Awesome!

Alright, Pikachu, use Electroball!

[ELECTRO BALL MOVE]

[screaming]

- Well, that stunk. - Speak for yourself.

I took a shower!

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH We're blasting off again!

We did it! [HAPPY]

And now we can all finally relax.

ALEXA 'Great work, Noivern.'

[PLEASED]

[gasping]

- Blinding. - Huh?

Is that..

CILAN 'The Conley Comet.'

IRIS It's spectacular.

[AWED]

[EXUBERANT]

Look at them all dance.

[JOYFUL]

That's cause they're so psyched!

[PLEASED]

ANIMA 'There's a name for it.'

It's the Comet Dance.

All the Ghost Type Pokémon perform the dance

'to celebrate Conley, their hero.'

How do you know all of that? And who are you?

Well, I am the one who knows the past

and then passes it on to the future.

Huh?

ANIMA 'Isn't it wonderful to see

how overjoyed they all are?'

Sure is! I'm going to dance, too.

[EXCITED]/[URGENT]

Huh? You're right! I should record this.

Yeah.

[MERRY]

CILAN 'Delicious! It's dancing time!'

NARRATOR As a happy group of dedicated

Ghost Type Pokémon

joyously celebrate, our heroes celebrate with them.

As the Conley Comet shines brightly overhead.

And so, with many more exciting Pokémon yet to meet

their journey continues.

ASH 'Last night was so much fun.'

[EMPHATIC]

And we even saw the Conley Comet.

It's almost like last night was a dream.

It was no dream. I recorded the whole thing.

[CONFUSED] Oh, no!

CILAN What's wrong?

IRIS 'There's nothing but static.'

ALEXA Impossible! How can this be?

It is strange.

Hold on. Where's that medal? I can't find it anywhere!

Huh?

The medal. That's right.

ALEXA 'Look here.'

IRIS Huh?

It's the woman from last night.

How can that be?

Does that mean she came here from the ancient past?

It's not possible.

Yeah, so who did we see?

PIKACHU [BAFFLED]
