00:00:01.850 --> 00:00:05.217
( narrator ) It's the exciting Nimbasa
Pokémon Club Battle,
00:00:05.217 --> 00:00:08.718
and it's off and running
at a fever pitch!
00:00:08.718 --> 00:00:11.084
Although many of
the formidable rivals our heroes
00:00:11.084 --> 00:00:13.617
have encountered on their
journey are competing here,
00:00:13.617 --> 00:00:16.217
Ash, Cilan and Iris have all
managed to move
00:00:16.217 --> 00:00:18.617
safely past the first round.
00:00:18.617 --> 00:00:21.517
However, in the action-packed
second round battle,
00:00:21.517 --> 00:00:25.551
Georgia the Dragon Buster has
cornered our hero and Snivy,
00:00:25.551 --> 00:00:27.718
putting them into
a tight spot indeed!

( Ash ) "The Club Battle Hearts of Fury:
Emolga Versus Sawk!"
00:01:08.818 --> 00:01:11.317
Pawniard!
00:01:11.317 --> 00:01:12.883
Pawniard!
00:01:12.883 --> 00:01:15.417
Oh yeah!
Let's finish this up!
00:01:15.417 --> 00:01:17.351
Snivy!
Use Leaf Blade!
00:01:17.351 --> 00:01:20.317
Snivy!
00:01:20.317 --> 00:01:22.050
Oh no!
Oh yes!
00:01:22.050 --> 00:01:23.883
Pika!
All right!
00:01:23.883 --> 00:01:26.784
Oh my!
Pawn!
00:01:28.883 --> 00:01:31.150
( Freddy ) Pawniard's claws
appear to have gotten
00:01:31.150 --> 00:01:32.584
firmly stuck in the ground!
00:01:32.584 --> 00:01:35.150
( Don George ) Who could've predicted
this would happen?
00:01:35.150 --> 00:01:37.384
Now, Snivy! Leaf Storm, let's
go!
00:01:37.384 --> 00:01:39.284
Snivy!
00:01:40.651 --> 00:01:42.217
Pawniard!
00:01:42.217 --> 00:01:43.617
No, Pawniard!
00:01:45.517 --> 00:01:46.917
Pawniard is unable to battle,
00:01:46.917 --> 00:01:50.384
which means the winner of this
second-round match is Ash!
00:01:50.384 --> 00:01:52.850
Yeah! We did it!
Pikachu!
00:01:52.850 --> 00:01:55.017
Pawniard's power sure looked
like it was going to make
00:01:55.017 --> 00:01:56.084
the difference here,
00:01:56.084 --> 00:01:58.451
but how quickly
things can change!
00:01:58.451 --> 00:02:00.017
You think things will zig,
00:02:00.017 --> 00:02:02.250
but in the blink of an eye,
they zag!
00:02:02.250 --> 00:02:04.651
So Ash becomes
the first competitor
00:02:04.651 --> 00:02:06.784
to go on to
the semifinals!
00:02:06.784 --> 00:02:08.584
Wow, Snivy,
you were great!
00:02:08.584 --> 00:02:10.818
Thanks so much!
Pika, Pika!
00:02:10.818 --> 00:02:13.050
Snivy!
00:02:13.050 --> 00:02:15.883
I'm exhausted after that.
00:02:15.883 --> 00:02:17.617
Either one of them
could have won.
00:02:17.617 --> 00:02:18.883
Right, Cilan?
00:02:18.883 --> 00:02:22.217
Truly a delicious battle
between gallant warriors,
00:02:22.217 --> 00:02:24.983
sparring back and forth,
making my spirit tremble!
00:02:24.983 --> 00:02:26.617
With a combination
of flavors that ranged
00:02:26.617 --> 00:02:30.084
from subtle to the boldness
of red-hot and spicy!
00:02:30.084 --> 00:02:32.617
Stephan,
was it the same for you?
00:02:32.617 --> 00:02:34.684
No one ever pronounces
my name right.
00:02:37.718 --> 00:02:39.617
Pawniard, return.
00:02:42.451 --> 00:02:43.684
Georgia!
00:02:43.684 --> 00:02:45.751
Pawniard was amazing!
00:02:45.751 --> 00:02:47.551
You were too!
Listen up.
00:02:47.551 --> 00:02:50.651
The only reason you won was
because the field was bad,
00:02:50.651 --> 00:02:52.384
so thank the field, not me.
00:02:55.184 --> 00:02:57.351
Anyone who would
actually blame their loss
00:02:57.351 --> 00:02:59.617
on the field
is such a... kid.
00:02:59.617 --> 00:03:01.050
Hey, I heard that!
00:03:01.050 --> 00:03:02.451
Good hearing.
00:03:02.451 --> 00:03:03.517
But who cares?
00:03:03.517 --> 00:03:05.684
That battle didn't
really count anyway.
00:03:05.684 --> 00:03:07.417
Of course not.
00:03:07.417 --> 00:03:10.250
I didn't lose to
a Dragon-type, did I?
00:03:10.250 --> 00:03:13.250
What a lame excuse!
00:03:13.250 --> 00:03:16.017
Those two have been
ripping each other up all day.
00:03:16.017 --> 00:03:17.517
It's getting old.
00:03:17.517 --> 00:03:19.784
The worst enemies
can make the best friends!
00:03:19.784 --> 00:03:21.284
Don't give it
a second thought.
00:03:21.284 --> 00:03:24.050
Don George, that was
a scorcher of a battle,
00:03:24.050 --> 00:03:25.284
right out of the gate.
00:03:25.284 --> 00:03:27.451
Right, that's because
exciting battles are what
00:03:27.451 --> 00:03:29.685
the club battle is all about!
The club battle is all about!
00:03:29.684 --> 00:03:33.284
The second second-round battle
is Antonio versus Dino!
00:03:33.284 --> 00:03:36.050
Tranquill!
00:03:36.050 --> 00:03:37.417
Nee!
00:03:37.417 --> 00:03:38.818
And it's Dino!
00:03:38.818 --> 00:03:41.084
He's moving on to
the quarterfinals!
00:03:41.084 --> 00:03:43.917
We're going to take a short
pause for the cause,
00:03:43.917 --> 00:03:46.317
be back soon!
00:03:46.317 --> 00:03:48.384
Snivy.
Pika!
00:03:48.384 --> 00:03:50.050
You were awesome.
00:03:50.050 --> 00:03:51.751
Now make sure
you eat a lot!
00:03:51.751 --> 00:03:54.551
I'll tell you, you ruled
in that battle, Ash!
00:03:54.551 --> 00:03:56.050
Thanks a lot, Stephan.
00:03:56.050 --> 00:03:58.284
Someone get it
right...
00:03:58.284 --> 00:04:00.850
Snivy.
Pika!
00:04:00.850 --> 00:04:02.050
Vy!
00:04:02.050 --> 00:04:03.184
Good, huh?
00:04:03.184 --> 00:04:05.950
Cilan whipped it up
especially for you.
00:04:05.950 --> 00:04:07.517
It's my special gourmet blend
00:04:07.517 --> 00:04:10.617
that's totally irresistible
to Grass-types.
00:04:10.617 --> 00:04:13.983
And to give Grass-types a real
energy boost after battling,
00:04:13.983 --> 00:04:17.184
I added lots
of extra vegetables!
00:04:17.184 --> 00:04:20.050
Dommage! Forced to eat
food made by a connoisseur
00:04:20.050 --> 00:04:21.584
who has no taste at all
00:04:21.584 --> 00:04:24.517
has to be the saddest thing
I've ever seen!
00:04:24.517 --> 00:04:27.484
My pauvre petit Snivy!
00:04:27.484 --> 00:04:29.217
Snivy!
00:04:29.217 --> 00:04:31.684
Pika!
Vy.
00:04:31.684 --> 00:04:35.117
Cilan's Pokémon food's the best
you've ever tasted!
00:04:35.117 --> 00:04:37.718
Hey! Hope you'll give me
the recipe later!
00:04:37.718 --> 00:04:39.917
You can make
all kinds, right?
00:04:39.917 --> 00:04:41.751
But of course, Stephan!
00:04:41.751 --> 00:04:44.784
Even a connoisseur
gets it wrong.
00:04:44.784 --> 00:04:47.184
Vy, Vy!
00:04:47.184 --> 00:04:51.617
Oh dear, now where could Zorua
have run off to?
00:04:51.617 --> 00:04:53.451
Georgia?
00:04:53.451 --> 00:04:56.317
And that's why I think
Iris will be the winner!
00:04:56.317 --> 00:04:59.050
Every one of her Pokémon
is super powerful...
00:04:59.050 --> 00:05:01.950
and they're
super well-trained as well!
00:05:01.950 --> 00:05:03.150
Hey!
00:05:04.351 --> 00:05:06.084
Zorua, it is you!
00:05:06.084 --> 00:05:07.217
Awww...
00:05:07.217 --> 00:05:09.117
Cut, cut! Stop rolling!
00:05:09.117 --> 00:05:11.150
Stop!
Let go, let go, let go! She ruined the shot!
00:05:11.150 --> 00:05:13.084
And to think
this was going so well!
00:05:13.084 --> 00:05:14.651
What?
Going so well?
00:05:14.651 --> 00:05:17.818
Look, you're just making
some dumb amateur video.
00:05:17.818 --> 00:05:20.150
Oh, so you're a director now,
are you?
00:05:20.150 --> 00:05:21.784
All I know is this stinks!
00:05:21.784 --> 00:05:24.850
I wouldn't call it a movie,
I'd call it a waste of time!
00:05:24.850 --> 00:05:27.017
Wait a sec. You!
You're still...
00:05:27.017 --> 00:05:28.617
recording?
Recording?
00:05:28.617 --> 00:05:30.950
Well, this is a club battle
documentary, right?
00:05:30.950 --> 00:05:35.818
I wanted to show what
a true rivalry looks like!
00:05:35.818 --> 00:05:38.551
( Freddy ) All right, everybody
back to your seats,
00:05:38.551 --> 00:05:40.917
the next battle
is about to begin!
00:05:40.917 --> 00:05:43.983
Luke, I guess our turn
has finally arrived. Ready?
00:05:43.983 --> 00:05:45.684
I guess so, Cilan.
00:05:45.684 --> 00:05:48.950
Good luck
to both of you!
00:05:48.950 --> 00:05:51.384
Ash, I'd like to keep it
rolling while we battle.
00:05:51.384 --> 00:05:52.584
Would you help me?
00:05:52.584 --> 00:05:54.617
Me help you?
00:05:54.617 --> 00:05:56.384
Pika, Pikachu?
00:05:56.384 --> 00:05:58.950
All right,
let's get things started!
00:05:58.950 --> 00:06:01.150
For the third match
of the second round,
00:06:01.150 --> 00:06:03.451
we have Cilan versus Luke!
00:06:03.451 --> 00:06:05.451
I hope you'll
go easy!
00:06:05.451 --> 00:06:07.784
I'm facing a gym leader...
00:06:07.784 --> 00:06:09.718
I'm not
feeling so good!
00:06:09.718 --> 00:06:12.384
Just relax, Luke!
00:06:12.384 --> 00:06:14.651
It's just like
shooting a movie.
00:06:14.651 --> 00:06:17.117
First you imagine
your finished product,
00:06:17.117 --> 00:06:18.484
then, you make your plan.
00:06:18.484 --> 00:06:19.684
Right!
00:06:19.684 --> 00:06:22.317
For me, I always
imagine how my battle
00:06:22.317 --> 00:06:23.983
is going to
turn out first.
00:06:23.983 --> 00:06:25.651
I think of what moves
I can use
00:06:25.651 --> 00:06:28.317
that would best allow
my Pokémon to battle well,
00:06:28.317 --> 00:06:30.417
and then I imagine
how it will end,
00:06:30.417 --> 00:06:32.983
what kind of reward
I'll give to my Pokémon,
00:06:32.983 --> 00:06:34.451
things like that.
00:06:34.451 --> 00:06:36.351
You imagine all that?
00:06:36.351 --> 00:06:38.084
Arrogant dork!
00:06:38.084 --> 00:06:40.784
Imagine the moment when
your Pokémon tastes victory.
00:06:40.784 --> 00:06:42.850
Savor every moment
of battle!
00:06:46.384 --> 00:06:48.950
Cool!
I can do it!
00:06:48.950 --> 00:06:51.617
Do you think Cilan
was wise to give his
00:06:51.617 --> 00:06:53.484
opponent advice
like that, Don?
00:06:53.484 --> 00:06:56.983
It probably comes from Cilan
being a gym leader.
00:06:56.983 --> 00:06:58.950
All right, begin!
00:06:58.950 --> 00:07:04.084
And now, presenting
my powerful Stunfisk!
00:07:06.751 --> 00:07:07.883
Stun, Stunfisk!
00:07:07.883 --> 00:07:10.117
And here's
the star of my show!
00:07:10.117 --> 00:07:11.983
Go, Larvesta!
00:07:13.117 --> 00:07:14.484
Larvesta!
00:07:14.484 --> 00:07:16.617
So that's
Luke's other Pokémon!
00:07:16.617 --> 00:07:18.417
Pi, Pika!
00:07:18.417 --> 00:07:21.417
( man )
Larvesta, the Torch Pokémon.
00:07:21.417 --> 00:07:23.584
A Larvesta shoots fire
from its five horns
00:07:23.584 --> 00:07:24.850
to repel its enemies.
00:07:24.850 --> 00:07:27.484
They live at the base
of volcanoes.
00:07:27.484 --> 00:07:30.451
Larvesta, a Bug-
and Fire-type Pokémon...
00:07:30.451 --> 00:07:32.850
Pika, Pi, Pikachu!
00:07:32.850 --> 00:07:34.084
Sorry about the camera!
00:07:34.084 --> 00:07:35.150
Lar!
00:07:35.150 --> 00:07:37.284
Larvesta has
a really strong flame.
00:07:37.284 --> 00:07:38.950
I use it for all
the special effects
00:07:38.950 --> 00:07:40.784
in every movie I make!
00:07:40.784 --> 00:07:42.584
But this is a battle!
00:07:42.584 --> 00:07:44.950
It won't be
as easy as that!
00:07:46.417 --> 00:07:50.284
And now it's
evaluating time!
00:07:50.284 --> 00:07:53.417
( Freddy ) Cilan opens things up
with a powerful statement!
00:07:53.417 --> 00:07:54.850
"It's evaluating time!"
00:07:54.850 --> 00:07:56.451
And here we go!
00:07:56.451 --> 00:07:58.484
He sure looks
like he's having fun!
00:07:58.484 --> 00:08:01.718
Oh please,
not that old worn-out line.
00:08:01.718 --> 00:08:04.517
If it's so worn out,
why listen so closely?
00:08:04.517 --> 00:08:07.384
And now it's time for
Stunfisk's latest move!
00:08:07.384 --> 00:08:09.284
The flavorful Scald!
00:08:09.284 --> 00:08:10.751
Stunfisk!
00:08:10.751 --> 00:08:13.451
Lar!
No, Larvesta!
00:08:13.451 --> 00:08:16.284
Let's see, Scald is
a Water-type move, of course,
00:08:16.284 --> 00:08:20.317
that should do a lot of damage
to a Fire-type like Larvesta.
00:08:20.317 --> 00:08:22.284
Vesta!
00:08:22.284 --> 00:08:23.484
Still standing, I see.
00:08:23.484 --> 00:08:25.684
A tasty blend of
strength and resolve!
00:08:25.684 --> 00:08:27.150
Larvesta, you okay?
00:08:27.150 --> 00:08:28.351
Lar!
00:08:28.351 --> 00:08:30.384
Now, it's your turn,
Larvesta!
00:08:30.384 --> 00:08:32.850
Use String Shot. Action!
00:08:32.850 --> 00:08:34.317
Larvesta!
00:08:34.317 --> 00:08:37.317
Stunfisk. Stunfisk!
00:08:37.317 --> 00:08:38.617
Not in good taste!
00:08:38.617 --> 00:08:40.517
Stunfisk,
time for ThunderShock!
00:08:40.517 --> 00:08:41.950
Stun!
00:08:41.950 --> 00:08:43.917
Dodge it
and use Bug Buzz!
00:08:43.917 --> 00:08:48.217
Larvesta!
00:08:48.217 --> 00:08:50.517
Stunfisk!
00:08:50.517 --> 00:08:52.983
Yes, good job!
Lar!
00:08:52.983 --> 00:08:55.784
Now wrap this scene up
with Flamethrower!
00:08:55.784 --> 00:08:57.950
Larvesta!
00:08:57.950 --> 00:09:00.317
Well, I can use
that flame!
00:09:00.317 --> 00:09:02.384
Stunfisk!
00:09:03.718 --> 00:09:06.417
( all )
"Who's that Pokémon?"
00:09:09.651 --> 00:09:13.117
( Freddy ) Stunfisk is trapped in
an intense shroud of fire!
00:09:13.117 --> 00:09:16.784
Is this the end
of the road for Cilan?
00:09:16.784 --> 00:09:18.250
Stun!
00:09:18.250 --> 00:09:20.217
Stunfisk!
00:09:20.217 --> 00:09:23.117
Did you like that? I used
your Flamethrower to burn off
00:09:23.117 --> 00:09:25.117
the String Shot you fired.
00:09:25.117 --> 00:09:29.150
And it worked because
I imagined it would!
00:09:29.150 --> 00:09:30.517
Cilan's awesome!
00:09:30.517 --> 00:09:33.551
That's why he's a gym leader!
Oh please.
00:09:33.551 --> 00:09:35.417
( Stephan )
Luke had the momentum,
00:09:35.417 --> 00:09:37.818
but things are now moving
in Cilan's favor!
00:09:37.818 --> 00:09:38.850
I guess.
00:09:38.850 --> 00:09:40.818
The combination of
Bug-types and Fire-types
00:09:40.818 --> 00:09:43.117
is something
to consider...
00:09:44.784 --> 00:09:48.117
Now listen up, Bianca,
I'm the real Georgia!
00:09:48.117 --> 00:09:51.617
So then, where's Zorua?
00:09:53.417 --> 00:09:56.351
There you are! Zorua!
00:09:58.751 --> 00:10:00.950
Ew!
I've got you!
00:10:00.950 --> 00:10:02.850
My little Zorua!
00:10:02.850 --> 00:10:04.484
Ew, Axew...
00:10:04.484 --> 00:10:05.684
Excuse me?
00:10:05.684 --> 00:10:07.917
Can't you tell a real Axew
when you see it?
00:10:07.917 --> 00:10:10.117
Pika!
Oh!
00:10:10.117 --> 00:10:12.017
So that's Zorua...
00:10:13.983 --> 00:10:17.017
Hey, Zorua,
wait for me, please?
00:10:17.017 --> 00:10:19.751
I guess it's not as easy
as I thought...
00:10:19.751 --> 00:10:21.617
Sometimes making
just one mistake
00:10:21.617 --> 00:10:23.950
can have long-lasting
results.
00:10:23.950 --> 00:10:25.351
Although
we've battled briefly,
00:10:25.351 --> 00:10:28.184
I've had a good chance
to evaluate your Pokémon.
00:10:28.184 --> 00:10:30.250
Your Pokémon is beautiful,
00:10:30.250 --> 00:10:32.784
quite mellow, with
the fierceness of a Flame-type,
00:10:32.784 --> 00:10:35.684
combined with the subtlety
of a Bug-type.
00:10:35.684 --> 00:10:37.784
And judging from
its ability to stand up
00:10:37.784 --> 00:10:39.484
to our Water-type attack,
00:10:39.484 --> 00:10:41.684
I can sense
its formidable strength,
00:10:41.684 --> 00:10:44.184
tempered by its time
working on a movie set,
00:10:44.184 --> 00:10:46.551
a recipe anyone
could love!
00:10:46.551 --> 00:10:50.150
Wow! You're embarrassing me
with all of those nice words.
00:10:50.150 --> 00:10:51.351
Lar!
00:10:51.351 --> 00:10:54.883
However!
However? Now what?
00:10:54.883 --> 00:10:56.217
Taking into account
00:10:56.217 --> 00:10:58.617
the way Larvesta
dodged our Thundershock,
00:10:58.617 --> 00:11:00.551
I perceive a limited
two-dimensional view
00:11:00.551 --> 00:11:02.417
of the battlefield.
00:11:02.417 --> 00:11:05.451
Larvesta hasn't evolved yet,
so what do you expect?
00:11:05.451 --> 00:11:06.850
Now, now, Luke!
00:11:06.850 --> 00:11:08.983
A great trainer would have
imagined their Pokémon
00:11:08.983 --> 00:11:10.417
in a variety of settings
00:11:10.417 --> 00:11:12.950
and made sure they could
handle every one of them!
00:11:12.950 --> 00:11:15.117
And that's what we do
in gym battles
00:11:15.117 --> 00:11:16.384
so we're ready for anyone
00:11:16.384 --> 00:11:18.917
who comes to us
for evaluating time!
00:11:18.917 --> 00:11:21.617
Now, Stunfisk, soar high
into the air!
00:11:21.617 --> 00:11:23.718
Stunfisk!
00:11:23.718 --> 00:11:25.217
Stunfisk flies?
00:11:25.217 --> 00:11:26.818
Who knew?
00:11:26.818 --> 00:11:28.284
You see,
one good strategy
00:11:28.284 --> 00:11:29.950
is to keep your opponents
off balance
00:11:29.950 --> 00:11:31.883
by doing the unexpected deed!
00:11:31.883 --> 00:11:34.017
Even Stunfisk, normally
confined to the ground,
00:11:34.017 --> 00:11:36.584
can learn to fly with enough
care and training!
00:11:36.584 --> 00:11:38.351
Now use Scald,
once again!
00:11:38.351 --> 00:11:40.950
Stun, Stun! Fisk!
00:11:40.950 --> 00:11:43.617
Larvesta, quick,
use String Shot on yourself!
00:11:43.617 --> 00:11:45.818
Larvesta!
00:11:45.818 --> 00:11:47.250
Wow, no way!
00:11:50.983 --> 00:11:52.517
Lar...
00:11:52.517 --> 00:11:56.484
( Freddy ) Larvesta's encased itself
in a String Shot cocoon,
00:11:56.484 --> 00:11:57.784
which protected it
00:11:57.784 --> 00:11:59.950
from what would've been
a super-effective Scald!
00:11:59.950 --> 00:12:02.250
Yes!
That was very good!
00:12:02.250 --> 00:12:04.050
Stunfisk,
use Mud Bomb!
00:12:04.050 --> 00:12:05.284
Fisk!
00:12:05.284 --> 00:12:08.950
Stun, Stunfisk!
00:12:11.617 --> 00:12:13.384
Larvesta!
00:12:13.384 --> 00:12:14.818
( Freddy )
And Larvesta is airborne,
00:12:14.818 --> 00:12:17.317
using that explosion to make
a super jump!
00:12:17.317 --> 00:12:20.184
Looks like the shoe
is on the other foot!
00:12:20.184 --> 00:12:21.818
Who would've guessed?
00:12:21.818 --> 00:12:23.751
Now it's our
turn to imagine!
00:12:23.751 --> 00:12:26.351
Larvesta, use Flamethrower!
00:12:26.351 --> 00:12:28.050
Stunfisk!
00:12:28.050 --> 00:12:30.184
Oh no! Stunfisk!
00:12:30.184 --> 00:12:32.217
Stun...
00:12:32.217 --> 00:12:33.417
Stunfisk...
00:12:33.417 --> 00:12:36.417
Stunfisk is unable to battle,
Larvesta wins!
00:12:36.417 --> 00:12:39.517
And the winner
of the match is Luke!
00:12:41.417 --> 00:12:42.950
We did it, Larvesta!
00:12:42.950 --> 00:12:45.317
You rock!
Lar!
00:12:45.317 --> 00:12:48.017
You battled well,
Stunfisk, take a rest.
00:12:49.818 --> 00:12:53.050
Say, Luke, that was
a most intriguing battle!
00:12:53.050 --> 00:12:54.718
Sure was, thanks to you!
00:12:54.718 --> 00:12:58.351
You helped me imagine what
it's like to have a gym battle.
00:12:58.351 --> 00:13:00.484
Yes, I guess I did.
00:13:00.484 --> 00:13:03.117
And that's due to my bad habit
of forcing challengers
00:13:03.117 --> 00:13:05.451
to show me
the best they can do!
00:13:05.451 --> 00:13:07.751
But you won, fair and square.
00:13:07.751 --> 00:13:09.284
Good luck in
the semifinals!
00:13:09.284 --> 00:13:10.818
Thanks!
00:13:10.818 --> 00:13:15.883
Cilan, I honestly never thought
I'd make it this far.
00:13:15.883 --> 00:13:17.551
What a great battle!
00:13:17.551 --> 00:13:18.751
Sure was!
00:13:18.751 --> 00:13:20.384
Both of you
looked great!
00:13:20.384 --> 00:13:23.084
Oui,
although Cilan did lose.
00:13:23.084 --> 00:13:25.651
He's always talking
about evaluating
00:13:25.651 --> 00:13:27.250
challengers, n'est pas?
00:13:27.250 --> 00:13:29.883
Bon! It doesn't
matter how nicely it ends
00:13:29.883 --> 00:13:33.050
because a loss is a loss!
00:13:33.050 --> 00:13:35.017
You're about
as nice as they come.
00:13:35.017 --> 00:13:36.883
Hey, Ash, did you
get it on tape?
00:13:36.883 --> 00:13:38.084
My big victory?
00:13:38.084 --> 00:13:39.850
You bet, Luke!
00:13:39.850 --> 00:13:41.484
( Pikachu )
Pika, Pi!
00:13:41.484 --> 00:13:44.517
Pika, Pika!
Wow! Thanks, bud!
00:13:44.517 --> 00:13:46.417
Way to go, Pikachu!
Wow!
00:13:46.417 --> 00:13:48.417
I'm so psyched
after seeing that!
00:13:48.417 --> 00:13:50.484
I guess you and I
are up next!
00:13:50.484 --> 00:13:51.818
Oh yeah!
00:13:51.818 --> 00:13:53.384
It's time to wail!
00:13:53.384 --> 00:13:55.217
Wait, we haven't
been called yet!
00:13:55.217 --> 00:13:57.184
It's too early!
00:13:57.184 --> 00:14:00.418
( Freddy ) Folks, now that the exciting
third match is history,
00:14:00.417 --> 00:14:01.551
it's time for...
00:14:01.551 --> 00:14:03.451
Wait, it looks like
the trainers have already
00:14:03.451 --> 00:14:04.784
come out on the field!
00:14:04.784 --> 00:14:07.084
Then, I suggest
we get on with it!
00:14:07.084 --> 00:14:08.250
For our fourth match,
00:14:08.250 --> 00:14:11.317
we've got Iris and she's
battling Stephan!
00:14:11.317 --> 00:14:12.617
Oh man!
00:14:12.617 --> 00:14:15.950
Even the officials
can't say my name right!
00:14:15.950 --> 00:14:18.017
Ready, set, begin!
00:14:19.117 --> 00:14:20.551
Go, Emolga!
00:14:22.050 --> 00:14:24.250
Emol!
00:14:24.250 --> 00:14:25.551
Okay, you're up, Sawk!
00:14:25.551 --> 00:14:27.017
Let's go!
00:14:29.718 --> 00:14:30.850
Sawk.
00:14:30.850 --> 00:14:34.250
That must be
his brand-new Pokémon.
00:14:34.250 --> 00:14:36.617
( man )
Sawk, the Karaté Pokémon.
00:14:36.617 --> 00:14:38.351
Sawk ties its belt to get
pumped up
00:14:38.351 --> 00:14:40.284
and give its punches
an extra bit of power.
00:14:40.284 --> 00:14:42.217
Disturbing its training
angers a Sawk.
00:14:42.217 --> 00:14:43.451
Sawk!
00:14:43.451 --> 00:14:44.917
Emolga?
00:14:44.917 --> 00:14:47.684
Please remember,
when you use Volt Switch,
00:14:47.684 --> 00:14:49.551
you can't switch with
someone else!
00:14:49.551 --> 00:14:50.917
Emol?
Really!
00:14:50.917 --> 00:14:53.017
This battle's gonna
be lots of fun,
00:14:53.017 --> 00:14:54.950
so let's have fun together!
00:14:55.983 --> 00:14:57.117
Emol!
00:14:57.117 --> 00:15:00.084
Thanks, Emolga,
now, let's go!
00:15:00.084 --> 00:15:01.784
Done with your
strategy session?
00:15:01.784 --> 00:15:03.017
You bet!
00:15:03.017 --> 00:15:05.484
I won't hold back
just because you're a girl.
00:15:05.484 --> 00:15:07.484
Battling is
all about hard work!
00:15:07.484 --> 00:15:10.117
I know, Emolga's
all about not holding back!
00:15:10.117 --> 00:15:11.551
Emol!
00:15:11.551 --> 00:15:13.784
Emolga, Attract, now!
00:15:13.784 --> 00:15:16.084
Emol!
00:15:16.084 --> 00:15:17.751
Sawk, use Close Combat!
00:15:17.751 --> 00:15:20.584
Sawk, Sawk, Sawk, Sawk, Sawk,
Sawk, Sawk, Sawk, Sawk,
00:15:20.584 --> 00:15:22.883
Sawk, Sawk, Sawk, Sawk,
Sawk, Sawk, Sawk, Sawk, Sawk...
00:15:22.883 --> 00:15:24.117
Emol!
00:15:24.117 --> 00:15:26.250
( Freddy ) And all the hearts
created by the Attract
00:15:26.250 --> 00:15:29.584
have been destroyed by Sawk's
Close Combat!
00:15:29.584 --> 00:15:31.017
How'd they do that?
00:15:31.017 --> 00:15:32.551
Emol!
00:15:32.551 --> 00:15:34.117
The deal is,
all Sawk are male,
00:15:34.117 --> 00:15:36.651
so Sawk does super-intensive
training every day
00:15:36.651 --> 00:15:39.150
to strengthen itself
against gender-specific moves
00:15:39.150 --> 00:15:41.551
exactly like the one
Emolga just used!
00:15:41.551 --> 00:15:43.617
What did you think
about that, Don George?
00:15:43.617 --> 00:15:46.384
Looks like
a real manly battle!
00:15:46.384 --> 00:15:48.017
Sawk's incredible!
00:15:48.017 --> 00:15:50.284
Guess Iris is going to have to
take them on
00:15:50.284 --> 00:15:51.751
in a straight-up battle!
00:15:51.751 --> 00:15:53.584
This is getting
interesting.
00:15:53.584 --> 00:15:55.050
Bulk Up, go!
00:15:55.050 --> 00:15:57.384
Sawk!
00:15:57.384 --> 00:15:59.584
Sawk!
00:15:59.584 --> 00:16:02.384
Sawk, Sawk, Sawk!
00:16:02.384 --> 00:16:04.684
Now it's our turn! Use Hidden
Power!
00:16:04.684 --> 00:16:06.917
Emolga!
00:16:06.917 --> 00:16:08.917
Double Kick!
00:16:10.084 --> 00:16:11.317
Sawk!
00:16:12.784 --> 00:16:14.850
Dodge it, quick!
00:16:14.850 --> 00:16:16.751
Emol!
00:16:16.751 --> 00:16:17.983
Emol!
00:16:17.983 --> 00:16:21.050
Sawk!
Emol, Emol...
00:16:21.050 --> 00:16:22.751
Emolga!
00:16:22.751 --> 00:16:24.484
Hang in there, Emolga!
00:16:24.484 --> 00:16:26.484
Sawk is used to
battling hard.
00:16:26.484 --> 00:16:29.684
This could leave
a bad taste in Iris's mouth!
00:16:29.684 --> 00:16:32.150
Now, Emolga, Hidden Power,
again!
00:16:32.150 --> 00:16:33.651
Ga!
00:16:37.784 --> 00:16:39.384
Sawk.
00:16:39.384 --> 00:16:41.284
Now, how'd you
like that move?
00:16:41.284 --> 00:16:43.684
That was totally awesome,
no doubt!
00:16:43.684 --> 00:16:44.950
Hold on...
00:16:44.950 --> 00:16:48.351
Does your Emolga know how to
use any Flying-type moves?
00:16:48.351 --> 00:16:50.883
A-ha! I didn't think so!
00:16:50.883 --> 00:16:53.317
In that case,
no way you'll beat Sawk!
00:16:53.317 --> 00:16:54.651
Use Close Combat!
00:16:54.651 --> 00:16:56.883
Sawk!
00:16:56.883 --> 00:16:58.150
Sawk, Sawk, Sawk, Sawk, Sawk,
Sawk, Sawk!
00:16:58.150 --> 00:16:59.384
Emol!
00:16:59.384 --> 00:17:00.718
Yeah!
00:17:04.818 --> 00:17:07.983
What happened?
Static is Emolga's Ability!
00:17:07.983 --> 00:17:09.217
Talk about lucky!
00:17:09.217 --> 00:17:11.883
At least now Emolga's
got a fighting chance!
00:17:11.883 --> 00:17:13.117
Emolga!
00:17:13.117 --> 00:17:14.950
All right!
Pika!
00:17:14.950 --> 00:17:17.217
Forget Static!
Use Double Kick!
00:17:19.384 --> 00:17:21.017
Sawk!
Emol!
00:17:21.017 --> 00:17:23.217
Sawk!
Emol!
00:17:23.217 --> 00:17:25.084
See, we can
still attack!
00:17:25.084 --> 00:17:26.584
Emol...
00:17:26.584 --> 00:17:28.751
Emolga!
00:17:28.751 --> 00:17:31.818
Even paralyzed by Static,
Sawk can use moves!
00:17:31.818 --> 00:17:35.017
There's gotta be something
Emolga can use...
00:17:35.017 --> 00:17:38.384
something
only Emolga can use...
00:17:38.384 --> 00:17:40.551
I think I know just
the thing!
00:17:40.551 --> 00:17:41.784
Use Attract!
00:17:41.784 --> 00:17:42.950
Emol!
00:17:42.950 --> 00:17:45.284
Man! What a waste of time!
00:17:45.284 --> 00:17:46.684
Use Close Combat!
00:17:46.684 --> 00:17:49.751
Sawk, Sawk, Sawk, Sawk, Sawk,
Sawk, Sawk, Sawk, Sawk...
00:17:49.751 --> 00:17:52.217
( Freddy ) And once again, Close Combat
works its magic
00:17:52.217 --> 00:17:55.284
and destroys
those hearts, one by one!
00:17:55.284 --> 00:17:58.417
All right then, Emolga,
use Attract again and again!
00:17:58.417 --> 00:18:03.617
Emol, Emol, Emol, Emol!
00:18:03.617 --> 00:18:04.818
What are they doing?
00:18:04.818 --> 00:18:06.784
It's a whole
barrage of Attracts!
00:18:06.784 --> 00:18:10.384
Use Close Combat over and over
and over and over!
00:18:10.384 --> 00:18:12.584
Sawk, Sawk, Sawk, Sawk,
Sawk, Sawk, Sawk, Sawk, Sawk,
00:18:12.584 --> 00:18:16.250
Sawk, Sawk, Sawk, Sawk, Sawk,
Sawk, Sawk, Sawk, Sawk...
00:18:16.250 --> 00:18:17.317
What's wrong?
00:18:17.317 --> 00:18:18.451
( Freddy )
Incredible!
00:18:18.451 --> 00:18:19.584
That Static has finally built up
00:18:19.584 --> 00:18:20.983
enough to prevent Sawk
from moving!
00:18:20.983 --> 00:18:23.017
Oh no!
Smart!
00:18:23.017 --> 00:18:25.017
Iris was waiting for
this moment all along!
00:18:25.017 --> 00:18:27.150
Way to go,
Iris and Emolga!
00:18:27.150 --> 00:18:30.017
Now, Volt Switch,
let's go!
00:18:30.017 --> 00:18:33.017
Molga!
00:18:37.983 --> 00:18:39.551
Sawk!
00:18:39.551 --> 00:18:40.917
Sawk...
00:18:40.917 --> 00:18:42.751
( judge )
Sawk is unable to battle!
00:18:42.751 --> 00:18:46.751
Emolga wins, which means the
winner of the match is Iris!
00:18:46.751 --> 00:18:48.818
We did it!
Our strategy worked!
00:18:48.818 --> 00:18:49.983
We won, Emolga!
00:18:49.983 --> 00:18:51.784
Emol, Emol, Emol!
00:18:51.784 --> 00:18:54.017
Iris was awesome!
Pika!
00:18:54.017 --> 00:18:57.584
A delectable victory
replete with flavor!
00:18:57.584 --> 00:18:59.551
Dumb luck, that's all.
00:18:59.551 --> 00:19:02.250
Iris and Ash
just got a lucky break.
00:19:02.250 --> 00:19:05.651
Oui, and their dumb luck
is the dumbest!
00:19:05.651 --> 00:19:08.117
Now, Sawk, return.
00:19:08.117 --> 00:19:11.384
We'll give it
another shot, next time.
00:19:13.117 --> 00:19:16.351
Congratulations
on your win, Iris.
00:19:16.351 --> 00:19:18.150
Win the semis for me.
00:19:18.150 --> 00:19:20.117
Thank you, Stephan.
00:19:20.117 --> 00:19:23.117
Getting my name right
wouldn't hurt, either...
00:19:23.117 --> 00:19:25.184
And following that
white-hot club battle,
00:19:25.184 --> 00:19:28.883
we have the four trainers
going to the semifinals!
00:19:28.883 --> 00:19:33.584
So, take a look up on the big
screen for our match-ups!
00:19:33.584 --> 00:19:35.250
And the winners
of these two bouts
00:19:35.250 --> 00:19:37.184
will be moving on
to the exciting
00:19:37.184 --> 00:19:40.150
final club battle match!
00:19:42.284 --> 00:19:45.017
Buddy, we've made it this far,
so let's win it all!
00:19:45.017 --> 00:19:47.284
Sound good to you?
Pikachu!
00:19:47.284 --> 00:19:49.384
Man, I'm feeling
really nervous.
00:19:49.384 --> 00:19:51.351
Luke, I suggest
you take it from the trainer
00:19:51.351 --> 00:19:53.384
you defeated
in the second round.
00:19:53.384 --> 00:19:55.317
Have faith,
you can do it!
00:19:55.317 --> 00:19:57.084
Hey, what about me?
00:19:57.084 --> 00:19:59.050
Well, I have faith
that you'll fall on your
00:19:59.050 --> 00:20:00.917
pudgy little face
in the next round!
00:20:00.917 --> 00:20:04.084
Zut! Well, I honestly
don't really care who wins.
00:20:05.217 --> 00:20:07.784
Come on,
Zorua, wait for me!
00:20:07.784 --> 00:20:10.484
I hope you all lose!
00:20:10.484 --> 00:20:13.584
It's match one,
of the semifinal round,
00:20:13.584 --> 00:20:15.983
Dino versus Ash!
00:20:15.983 --> 00:20:18.017
( judge )
All right, begin!
00:20:18.017 --> 00:20:19.850
Palpitoad, I choose you!
00:20:21.517 --> 00:20:22.751
Palpitoad!
00:20:22.751 --> 00:20:24.751
Darumaka, let's go!
00:20:26.484 --> 00:20:28.451
Darumaka!
00:20:28.451 --> 00:20:31.818
( narrator ) In the fiery wake of
the battle between Emolga and Sawk,
00:20:31.818 --> 00:20:35.950
the semifinals are now underway
with Palpitoad versus Darumaka,
00:20:35.950 --> 00:20:39.451
as the Nimbasa Club battle
continues!
00:20:43.617 --> 00:20:46.484
( all )
"It's Larvesta!"
00:20:46.484 --> 00:20:48.117
Larvesta!
