Original subtitles

At the Shining Pond, we met my great-great-grandmother Rystal,

who told us about how she met Lucius, and what happened at Rakua.

With Terapagos—Pagogo, that is— now entrusted to me by Rystal,

we set out for our next destination in the search for the Six Heroes.

So, I realized who the best person to ask about Entei’s whereabouts is...

We should ask Sodayo.

Huh? Mm...

Sodayo, huh...?

Sodayo, right...

Sodayo...

Sodayo was...

...someone’s name?

I’m against it!

Asking him anything is a waste of time!

Aw, c’mon now...

He did use to be one of us.

“One of us”...

He was in the Rising Voltteccers?

I’ve never heard of this Sodayo guy before, though...

That’s ‘cause he left the ship before you came aboard, Dot.

He was technically Molly’s senior.

By two measly days!

He up and left the crew right outta nowhere, huh?

Reject not those who arrive, pursue not those who depart.

But he might know something about Entei.

He’s well-informed, no doubt ab—

No doubt, my foot!

If you’re so much as thinking about asking him, we might as well just search all on our own!

I hear you...

I already arranged to meet him, though.

Didn’t I mention?

No, you freaking didn’t!

So, this is where Sodayo’s headed?

Doesn’t look like he’s here yet.

Molly said she doesn’t wanna see him.

Like oil and water, those two...

We’re going out for a bit!

We heard there might be rare Pokémon out in the savanna!

Take care.

Yeah. Be back later!

Easy enough on paper, but...

...there’s no Pokémon anywhere.

Apparently, the Pokémon around here are pretty wary, so they might be tough to find.

What’s this...?

There’s barely any water.

Did this place use to be an oasis?

Huh?

It looks kinda... mad?

Whoa!

Rikikirin. Long Neck Pokémon. Normal/Psychic type.

While protecting its main head with its hardened tail-head,

it swings its long neck around to Headbutt enemies.

Achigator!

Nyarote!

Close-range attacks are too risky!

Welcamo! Get some distance and use Water Gun!

Welcamo!

No good?

What should we do?

Ooh, now this is a scoop!

“What provoked Rikikirin’s burning rage?!

“Was it the savanna’s curse?!”

Sonano? Is that right?

Welcamo! Aim for the head and use Water Gun!

Roy! Attack from the other side!

You got it!

Achigator! Flamethrower!

Now! Liko!

Nyarote! Surprise Attack!

All right!

It worked!

But why was it so mad?

Whoo!

That was some splendid teamwork, youngsters!

You managed to break its curse.

Who’s that?

I get the drift...

You’re that rumored secret society that goes all over the place fighting Pokémon!

What?

Huh?

Sonano?

That’s right!

Founded in sworn secrecy, the youngsters vigilantly await their chance to conquer the entire world!

Now this is a scoop!

What the heck?

That’s definitely not us...

Tsk, tsk.

The truth is what you make it!

Please, give me an interview.

The name’s—

Sodayo!

Oh! Friede!

I can see you’re as stylish as ever, Cap!

Huh?

Let me introduce you guys.

This guy’s our old pal...

Sotim da Yotim.

Call me Sodayo.

And this is my partner, Sonano.

Sonano!

Hey, hey, hey!

So you youngsters joined the Rising Voltteccers!

Murdock! Orio! Old man Landau! It’s been an age!

You seem well.

Just as peppy as I remember you.

I hear you’re a Pokémon Journalist now?

Tsk, tsk...

I’m a truth-seeking Pokémon Journalist.

I travel the world tracking down Pokémon-related mysteries.

Wow, that’s awesome!

A “truth-seeking Pokémon Journalist”?!

Orio! I can’t get my bed to fold up...

Gah! Sodayo!

Wow, Molly! What happened to you?! Look at that hair! And those clothes!

Huh?

Molly...

...used to look different?

She’s way cooler now!

She used to be a lot more—

One more word and I’ll have Lucky launch you to the stars with Pound!

Hey, hey...

Awful harsh for our first meeting in ages.

Are you the top Pokémon Doctor yet?

None of your business.

C-C’mon, ease off the scowl. Let’s have some fun swapping stories, like old times!

Oh, spare me.

I never liked that sweet-talking attitude of yours.

That any way to treat your senior?

By two days!

Anyway! Friede...

You wanted to ask me something?

Yeah. Actually, we—

Say no more!

I get the drift...

You want to know what I’ve been up to since way back when.

Sonano?

Huh? Not exac—

Okay!

I’ll regale you with the long and turbulent tale of my thousands of hardships.

Bragging much?

He hasn’t changed.

Nostalgia lies in that which does not change.

Liko, go hide Pagogo.

If he finds it, it’ll be an endless headache.

S-Sure...

Look at this.

“Monthly Occulture”?

The number one long-running indie occult mag in stores!

Here, check out this article!

“The truth-seeking Pokémon Journalist Sodayo reveals confidential info!”?

“Unfabricated True News”...

Mr. Sodayo wrote this article!

I thought I’d seen his name somewhere!

“The hundred faces of Pikachu”?

An article called “Tracking Down Legendary Pokémon!”

Maybe he does know something about Entei?

Exactly!

But even so, this is still an occult mag, so the truth—

...is what you make it!

Huh?

Whoa!

Oh, that’s one of my articles!

I get the drift, you guys.

You’re fans of mine!

Sonano?

That’s right!

Mr. Sodayo...

I read all of your Unfabricated True News articles!

Your unique angle for digging deep into mysteries is just so cool!

Heh! You guys sound like you know your stuff!

Maybe I should write about you next time.

Ooh!

Really?!

B-B-But...

Reading news is way different from being news...

I bet it’s a real pain...

Hey, Mr. Sodayo! I’ve got a question!

Oh, what is it?

I’ll answer anything.

We’re actually after En—

Say no more!

I get the drift!

You wanna hear about old times with the Rising Voltteccers?

Huh? Not exac...

But...

...now that you’ve brought it up...

Yeah, tell us!

All right!

Allow me to regale you with the unfabricated truth.

“The legendary dessert”?

We heard you once made a dessert called the Canetozzo that exploded in popularity!

And that you’ve never told a single soul how to make it!

And how pâtissiers the world over chase after you for the recipe!

Huh?

I mean, I did make that... But its “popularity” was temporary, and limited to here on the ship.

Have you been listening to Sodayo’s tall tales?

Huh?

I made a super-fast ship that circumnavigated the globe?

Drawing out the power of Pokémon to the fullest!

And it was so fast, nobody could even see it!

Even the sound it made couldn’t keep up with it!

If I could make a ship like that, we’d be on it right now.

Sodayo came up with that, I imagine?

Huh?

Hmm? That aura...

You’re the Pokémon secretly commanding this ship from the shadows, are you not?

And you have the aroma of sorcery from a far-off land...

That tea must truly have bewitching effects!

Um...

Old man Landau is secretly hiding a tempered body of steel beneath his clothes.

He’s actually a superhero, I tell ya!

There’s just no way...

Mr. Sodayo!

All of that was fake, wasn’t it?

Was it, though?!

The truth is what you make it!

Sonano?

And lastly, there’s Molly! She—

That’s enough out of you.

If you mess with them one more time,

I’ll have Lucky launch you to the stars with Tackle.

Ooh, scary stuff!

Just to think, you used to hang on my every word, crying out “My senior crewmate!”...

Sodayo! How dare y—

Ack!

Is that...?

What?

Could that be...

...Molly?!

That’s crazy...

Ain’t it? She was the perfect picture of a demure gal, right?

That’s the unfabricated truth.

Sonano!

Lucky!

And this time, stay gone!

I think now I understand...

...why Molly didn’t like him.

What’s that?

My junior’s in a bad mood...

Sonano?

Honestly...

You out here gathering info, too?

I’m concerned about the Rikikirin that attacked Liko and her friends.

The savanna’s curse?

Mr. Sodayo!

You okay?

Yeah, no sweat!

I’m always getting roughed up when looking for news.

Just the other day, I even went toe to toe with a Groudon!

Sonano?

Mr. Sodayo, we have something important to ask you.

We’re looki—

Shh!

I can hear Rikikirin.

And more than just one.

Sonano!

There he goes again...

They actually are coming!

Yet another huge scoop!

“The Rikikirin pack attacks!

“What lies behind their rage?!”

They’re headed for us again?

But why?!

Thunder Punch!

Ooh! A fierce battle between Cap and the Rikikirin!

Now there’s a scoop!

What’s that?

Cuespatra. Ostrich Pokémon. Psychic type.

It emits psychic power from the gaps between its multicolored frills...

...and sprints at speeds reaching 200 km/h.

They’re trying to keep the Cuespatra from coming any closer?

I get it! This oasis... It’s the Rikikirin’s turf.

Yeah. They must be fighting a turf war against Cuespatra over this spot.

And then we entered their turf, too...

It’s Psychokinesis!

What’s happening?!

Amazing...

Could this be?

“Extraordinary paranormal phenomenon ravages the savanna?!

“Is it the harbinger of unprecedented catastrophe?!”

Sonano?

The Psychic moves collided...

...and created some enigmatic power, perhaps?

What the...?!

Stop it, all of you!

Look out!

Lucky! Tackle!

Everyone okay?

Thank you, Molly.

You saved us.

Preventive care is part of a doctor’s job too, you know.

Hey, hey, Molly! You sure do make a good Pokémon Doctor!

I wasn’t trying to save you.

The staredown’s still going...

What should we do?

Liko! Roy!

Does this mean...?

What is that?

Roy, can you break that rock?

Huh?

Yeah.

Achigator, use Stomping Tantrum!

The water...

The oasis must’ve been this size originally.

I see...

The water’s flow must’ve gotten blocked by a landslide or something, causing it to dry up.

Guess that solves the turf war, too.

Good to see they’re getting along now!

Hey, hey, hey!

I just got the biggest scoop of the century!

Yet again, the unfabricated truth comes to light!

Sonano?

You helped me get some great material for Occulture!

Thanks, guys!

So, Mr. Sodayo...

We’ve got something we want to ask you!

Tell us...

...about Entei!

Huh?

If it’s Entei you’re after, I heard something about a sighting at Asagi City in Johto recently...

Sonano!

Huh?

Wait, so...

Was that all you wanted to ask me?

That’s right!

Having him mess with you must’ve been tiring.

Fatigue is a hotbed for illness.

It’ll be a while ‘til we touch down in Johto, so make sure to get some rest.

Yeah. You should, too.

Oh, I’m used to it.

Hey, Molly... Do you think Mr. Sodayo was telling us the truth about Entei?

Yeah, no need to worry about that.

When Sonano eagerly cries “Sonano!”, you know Sodayo’s telling the truth. That’s right!

Huh?

Sonano!

They’ve been together so long that Sonano can always tell.

It’s when you see it questioning “Sonano?” that you never know if it’s true or not. Is that right?

I see...

Then we can relax?

Well, he did wind up with some good material,

so maybe that was his way of saying thanks.

Obnoxious or not, he is still a journalist.

Oh, so that means... When Mr. Sodayo was talking about how you used to be...

Sonano!

Ack...

Well...

I was pretty naïve back then...

Molly, if you grind up the medicinal herbs growing on the cliff to the west,

you can make a salve that’ll heal any wound a Pokémon might have!

Really?!

Where am I supposed to find those herbs?!

Molly, the berries that Zubat gather in the cave to the south...

...can make a panacea for Pokémon!

Really?!

Molly, if you yell a wish to the Lunatone at the stroke of nine,

that wish will come true.

Really?

I wanna be the top Pokémon Doctor!

Huh? Huh? Huh?

Sodayo!

I can see how you might get fed up with that...

Well, I still don’t know if he was doing it just to tease me...

...or if he was trying to teach me stuff.

So, the truth is what you make it?

You might be right, there.

Let’s meet again somewhere, Rising Voltteccers!

Sonano!

Liko! Roy!

Mr. Sodayo’s article got posted to the web version of Occulture!

Huh? Let me see, let me see!

Think we’re in it?

No big deal if we aren’t though, really...

“The mystery of the savanna’s curse upon the Rikikirin!

“The true cause was an encounter with a Cuespatra!”

“When their powers collided with one another,

“an astonishing and abstruse phenomenon caused the oasis to expand,

“and the curse was dispelled!”...?

Dot, that’s us!

Huh?!

“Plus, a certain group of youngsters bear a connection to said phenomenon?!

“A healer girl who can read any Pokémon’s mind!

“A rampaging boy commanding a Pokémon that’s proud of its power!

“An ingenious girl, even more intelligent than an AI!

“Will their splendid teamwork one day turn the world on its head?!”

Whoa...

Isn’t that great, Dot?

W-Would’ve been no big deal if we weren’t in it though, really...

I hope we get to see Entei.

Nevertheless, we haven’t seen Asagi City in ages, have we, Nuoh?

There was a time we were the stars of the ocean, ever aglitter-aglimmer.

Such a long time since we’ve been here-oh!

Maybe us and Samehada should try and heal our weary bodies here-on the wide open sea.

And so, next time on Pocket Monsters...
