NARRATOR Traveling to Eastern Unova in order to compete

in the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup

our heroes' first stop is Cynthia'svacation home

in Undella town where our heroes have been

reunited with Dawn and Piplup.

And some pre-tournament special training awaits them all.

Oshawott, use Water Gun.

[WATER GUN MOVE]

Yeah, that's the way it's done.

But we're gonna need more power if we want to make it

through the Junior Cup.

[AGREEMENT]

[EXCITED]

IRIS Excadrill, Axew.

Let's show them what we can do too.

[ATTACK]

And let's do the same, Pansage.

[AGREEMENT]

[HAPPY]

Training every single day can be such a bore.

I know. I vote for some R and R.

Iris, listen to this.

There's a deserted island near here.

So why don't we all go and check it out?

[NERVOUS]

Deserted island? That sounds great.

It's like going to a resort without tourists.

[EXCITED]

No way. We've got training to do.

[SAD]

Ash Ketchum, you're always such a party pooper.

But for your information, Jervis just told me a few tidbits

that might change your mind.

He told me a special Onix lives there.

Special Onix?

Did he say what's special about it, did he?

- No. - I think I've seen an Onix.

'Here, have a look.'

POKEDEX 'Onix, the Rock Snake Pokémon.'

'By twisting its large and powerful body'

'Onix can quickly bore through the ground'

'at 50 miles per hour.'

Wow.

And they say if you're lucky enough

to meet that special Onix

something will happen to you that's totally amazing.

'Then I want to meet that special Onix right away.'

[HAPPY]

- So what are we waiting for? - Great.

Then that means it's expedition time.

Yes, then it's all settled. Let's go.

* A new adventure another day *

* One more challenge that comes our way *

* It's up to me and you *

* We know what we've gotta do *

* We are together now friends forever now *

* Whatever comes our way we won't run away *

* Standing tall one for all *

* It's our destiny *

* Pokémon *

ASH Expedition to Onix Island.

JERVIS I will guide your way to the island.

Please, get on board.

Oh, wow. We're going by boat.

- I'm totally psyched. - What a kid.

I sure hope he doesn't go overboard.

[laughs]

'Knock it off.'

[HAPPY]

Hey. Meloetta.

[HAPPY]

We're going to a deserted island, Meloetta.

Wanna come too?

[AGREEMENT]

Jervis, do you know what kind of special Onix lives there?

I regret to inform you, that all I know is that

there are many Onix living on the island

and that one is a special Onix of some kind.

I can't get any more specific than that.

But is it true it's good luck to see a special Onix?

JERVIS 'So they say.'

'There's the island up ahead.'

Wow, it's pretty big.

Huh?

'Cool. A staryu.'

Look out there.

CILAN 'A Wailord.'

IRIS 'It's gigantic.'

We're approaching point X

so stand by with underwater sensors.

All set and ready to drop 'em anytime.

Ready to initiate test. And go.

[EXCITED]

I'll be back to pick you up before dinnertime.

IRIS Thanks, Jervis.

JERVIS 'Oh, yes, one more thing.'

- Huh. - Huh.

Being very careful is of the utmost importance.

- Oh. - Oh.

There was nothing light and frothy about that.

[EXCITED]

[PAINED]

[HAPPY]

[PAINED]

[ANGRY]

[SCARED]

[SCARED]

[laughs]

Who are those Pokémon?

Have a look.

POKEDEX 'Krabby, the River Crab Pokémon.'

'Living on sandy beaches, in burrows it digs.'

'Krabby can grow back its pincers'

'if they break off in battle.'

'Kingler, the Pincer Pokémon and the evolved

'form of Krabby. Kingler's larger pincer has'

'immensely powerful crushing strength,'

'but because of its weight it is difficult to aim.'

Amazing.

IRIS/CILAN/DAWN Huh?

I guess I'm kind of hungry.

I thought you might be, so I brought us all some lunch.

It'll take some time to prepare

so why don't you all go play on the beach?

Thanks, Cilan.

[TIRED]

'I'm going for a swim.'

[laughter]

'Yahoo.'

[laughter]

[RELAXED]

[HAPPY]

[HAPPY]

[ATTACK]

[HAPPY]

[ATTACK]

[PAINED]

[ANGRY]

[ARGUMENT]

[SURPRISED]

[HAPPY]

[laughs] You're an awesome chef, Cilan.

He'd give Brock a run for his money, right?

- Right. - Who's Brock, Ash?

He's a good friend I was on my journey with for a long time.

He was always making meals for us.

DAWN And right now, Brock's studying to become a Pokémon Doctor.

IRIS A Pokémon Doctor? How cool.

[SURPRISED]

[ARGUMENT]

[SURPRISED]

[ARGUMENT]

[HAPPY]

[TIRED]

Awesome. Nothing like a full stomach.

Which means, it's time to get busy.

Let's go find that special Onix.

Yeah, let's do it.

[EXCITED]

Onix live in caves like this, right, Cilan?

- Right. - That's not always true.

Don't worry. Like a kid, he thinks he knows everything.

I guess some things never change.

- Right? - Right?

Enough. I'm going in.

Man.

[CONFIDENT]

[screams]

[WORRIED]

Hey, Ash, are you okay?

Just a bunch of Woobat.

[laughs]

What a little kid.

- Huh? - Huh?

I suspect the girls are discovering some common ground.

I can't believe how large this cave is.

Well, I'll bet you it's the perfect size

for an Onix to hang around in.

Are you telling me Onix are really that large?

I don't wanna freak anybody out

but I've heard rumors of Onix being up to 30 feet long

and as wide as this cave.

So what are we gonna do

if we happen to run into one in here?

[laughs] Easy, run real fast.

That was not very funny.

[rumbling]

[screaming]

[ANGRY]

Please, don't tell me that's the special Onix.

- That's a normal one. - Whatever. Run real fast.

[screaming]

[panting]

- Where are the others? - I don't know.

We got separated. Oh, no. Piplup's gone.

Hey, Piplup. Where are you? Piplup?

Piplup must be with everybody else.

I think we better go back inside the cave and have a look.

Right.

[ANGRY]

[screaming]

[panting]

I don't think we have any other choice left

but to make our way back to the beach.

So we're done searching for the special Onix?

We won't have to search. It'll probably find us.

I guess so. The guys will probably go back too.

Let's act like nothing happened.

[panting]

- Where are the girls? - We must've gotten separated.

[WORRIED]

[ANGRY]

We better head back to the cave and look for them now.

But it's dangerous there.

That cave seems to be a nest of Onix.

So that's perfect.

Aren't we here to look for a special Onix in the first place?

- True, but, Ash-- - Come on.

'I wanna see what a special Onix looks like.'

CILAN 'I understand, but that cave is like a maze.'

I say let's head back to the beach

and plan a strategy, alright?

Sure, let's go.

[SURPRISED]

ASH/CILAN Huh?

[ANGRY]

[screaming]

[SCARED]

[ATTACK]

[SCARED]

Way to go, Oshawott, Piplup.

Since Onix is a Rock and Ground-type

Water-type attacks are super effective.

There's no better example than that.

[CONFIDENT]

[ARGUMENT]

[SURPRISED]

[rumbling]

[screaming]

[ANGRY]

[screaming]

GROUP Who's that Pokémon?

GROUP It's Onix.

[CONFIDENT]

[ANGRY]

[screaming]

Quick, Oshawott, use Water Gun.

Piplup, Bubble Beam.

[WATER GUM MOVE]

[BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

- Whoa. - They dodged.

[ATTACK]

[screaming]

[MELOETTA SINGING]

Meloetta.

- Huh? - Huh?

[AMAZED]

Meloetta looks different.

Does that mean Meloetta can change its form?

[ATTACK]

[SURPRISED]

[PAINED]

- Wow, close combat. - Awesome.

[ATTACK]

CILAN 'A powerful dance with elegance and refinement.'

[PAINED]

[CONFIDENT]

You saved us, Meloetta. Thank you so much.

[HAPPY]

IRIS Oh, no, it's a dead end.

What do we do? Which way should we go?

- Huh? - There. That way.

- I think it's this way. - Huh?

- Why, Dawn? - Just a hunch.

- That's not good enough. - No need to worry.

The truth is my hunches have a great track record.

So come on, let's go.

IRIS Ah. Another dead end.

- There is a need to worry. - Uh, sorry.

But you should say that there was a need to worry.

Right. Okay. Whatever.

[TIRED]

Now let's try this way.

Well, I think we should go that way.

- How come? - Just a hunch.

That sounds awfully familiar.

My hunches are 100% correct.

Let's go.

Uh-oh, now there's a cliff to deal with.

Wow. This must be some kind of rare Pokémon.

- Uh, Iris, don't touch that. - Huh?

[screams]

Are you okay?

To be honest, no.

[CURIOUS]

Huh?

Check it out. I found a rare Pokémon too.

- Wait. Don't touch it. - Huh?

[ATTACK]

That was Foongus's Stun Spore.

[groans]

Where's Brock when you need him?

Why didn't I think of this before?

What? We're gonna swing on these?

Ready? Go.

[screams]

On to the next vine.

[screams]

You're not bad.

Once you get the hang of it, it's fun.

If we keep this up, we'll be out of the forest in no time flat.

Ah. That's great.

- Huh? - Huh?

[screaming]

- Dawn. - Ah.

No need to worry, see? Bushes rule.

You know what? You've got incredible reflexes.

That's true. Thanks just the same.

[AGREEMENT]

[ANGRY]

[screaming]

[ANGRY]

Time to worry now.

Man, it's a dead end.

True. We must have made a wrong turn somewhere.

But look at all these strange stones.

Yeah, they're weird. What's up with them?

[CURIOUS]

[SCARED]

[ANGRY]

[screaming]

- It's Dawn. - Iris.

It's Cilan and Ash.

[HAPPY]

Oh, Piplup. Thank goodness, you're okay.

[HAPPY]

[ANGRY]

[screaming]

Oh, no, a dead end.

But this time, those rocks are real.

[SCARED]

[ANGRY]

[SCARED]

[CONFIDENT]

Oshawott, Water Gun.

[WATER GUN MOVE]

Help out, Piplup. Use Bubble Beam.

[BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

[PAINED]

Great, Oshawott.

[CONFIDENT]

[ANGRY]

Now Aqua Jet.

[AQUA JET MOVE]

[PAINED]

[STUNNED]

Oshawott, what happened?

Piplup, use Head Butt.

[HEAD BUTT MOVE]

[PAINED]

[STUNNED]

Piplup, you okay?

[ANGRY]

[SCARED]

[FRIGHTENED]

[CONFIDENT]

[ATTACK]

[ATTACK]

[PAINED]

Did Oshawott just use Hydro Pump?

You bet, Cilan. Oshawott, you learned Hydro Pump. Awesome.

Piplup's Bubble Beam was amazing, too, wasn't it, Axew?

[AGREEMENT]

Piplup's aim was right on the money.

[HAPPY]

[HAPPY]

[ARGUMENT]

[ANGRY]

Guess it's not time to have a party just yet.

No way.

[ANGRY]

There are just too many of them.

- What should we do now? - Oh, yeah.

Come on, Meloetta, sing your song again.

[AGREEMENT]

[MELOETTA SINGING]

[ANGRY]

Even Meloetta's song won't work.

I guess we're just gonna have to battle it out.

[ANGRY]

- Huh? - Huh?

- Huh? - Huh?

[ANGRY]

That's a shiny Onix. Wow.

[AMAZED]

[ANGRY]

- Look, they're all leaving. - Why?

I'll bet you that green Onix is the Boss of the whole island.

So then that has to be the special Onix.

What do you know? I've never seen a green Onix before.

You know what I think? We're going to have good luck.

I'm winning the Junior Cup for sure.

- We'll all win. - Right.

We can't all win, but other good things might happen.

'What? You knew that cave was really dangerous'

but you didn't tell us?

Well, I did, in my own way. I said to be careful.

If we had known it was like that, we wouldn't have gone in.

I can't help wondering why that green Onix

would have any interest in helping us get out of there.

If I were to guess, I would say Meloetta's singing

must have touched the green Onix's heart deeply.

Wow. So maybe Onix are actually kind and gentle Pokémon.

[RELAXED]

- Ah. A rainbow. - It looks positively delicious.

Pretty.

[HAPPY]

[ANGRY]

[MELOETTA SINGING]

Whoa, listening to that beautiful singing

somehow makes me think of my home.

- Yeah, me too. - And me.

- Wow, me too. - Myself as well.

- Really, Jervis? - Truly.

Meloetta's voice may possess mysterious power.

- Huh? - Huh?

NARRATOR And so our heroes have experienced the mystery

of Onix Island complete with a special Onix.

Soon, preparation for the Pokémon World Tournament

Junior Cup resumes.

- That's the last sensor. - Drop it.

We are going to find those ruins, no doubt.

Once we've got Meloetta, we'll have everything we need.

So for now, we can let the Twerps

take care of our work for us.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH 'And we do it all for the Boss.'
