'endless blue skies

00:00:14.344 --> 00:00:16.386
These delectable delights
to the senses
00:00:16.386 --> 00:00:18.398

Braviary, the Valiant Pokémon

called Soldiers Of The Sky.
00:00:39.169 --> 00:00:42.192
Braviary fights tirelessly
to protect its friends.
00:00:42.192 --> 00:00:46.126
If it has many scars, it earns
more respect from its comrades.

You're imagining things.

their Braviary and Drilbur

have just challenged them
to a battle!
00:02:11.451 --> 00:02:13.453

00:02:15.165 --> 00:02:17.317
Something feels a bit rushed
about this.

In light
of this sudden challenge
00:02:19.189 --> 00:02:20.420
at least tell us your names.
00:02:20.420 --> 00:02:22.142
Our names? What?
00:02:22.142 --> 00:02:24.194
Have you been living underground
your whole life?
00:02:24.194 --> 00:02:26.126
That's funny,
they don't look like Drilbur.
00:02:26.126 --> 00:02:27.377

Huh? Don't you guys
have a sense of humor?
00:02:32.472 --> 00:02:34.184
Of course, you're speechless
00:02:34.184 --> 00:02:36.456
because you're blown away
by our excellent joke!
00:02:36.456 --> 00:02:39.189
Excellent is not the word
I'd use.

[AGREEMENT]
00:02:40.340 --> 00:02:42.092
Then we'll go first!

My name's Cilan,
a Pokémon connoisseur.
00:02:44.995 --> 00:02:47.337
And I'm Ash. This is Pikachu.
00:02:47.337 --> 00:02:48.388

00:02:48.388 --> 00:02:51.191
I'm Iris and this is Axew.
00:02:51.191 --> 00:02:52.402
My name's Soren!
00:02:52.402 --> 00:02:56.176
With Braviary, Soldier
Of The Sky, we rule the air!
00:02:56.176 --> 00:02:57.427
And I'm Rocko.
00:02:57.427 --> 00:03:01.181
With Drilbur, Warrior
Of The Land, we rule the land!
00:03:01.181 --> 00:03:03.283
Greatest older bro, that's me!
00:03:03.283 --> 00:03:05.485
Greatest younger bro, that's me!

SOREN/ROCKO
Which means,
we're the greatest bros!
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:11.111
Greatest is pretty cool!
00:03:11.111 --> 00:03:14.174
Then does that mean you both won
the Unova League before?
00:03:14.174 --> 00:03:16.426
Of course, it does!
Okay, I lied.
00:03:16.426 --> 00:03:18.418
We wouldn't wanna enter, anyway.
00:03:18.418 --> 00:03:19.419
But why not?
00:03:19.419 --> 00:03:20.480
SOREN/ROCKO
Because
00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:23.023
they don't have
a Tag Battle division!
00:03:23.023 --> 00:03:24.284
A Tag Battle division?
00:03:24.284 --> 00:03:25.375
So then that must mean
00:03:25.375 --> 00:03:27.427
you two are the world's greatest
Tag Battle team.
00:03:27.427 --> 00:03:30.360
- You got it!
- Number one! The best!
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.162

we crushed our archrivals

you defeated the Subway Bosses?

are an incredible team'

'totally in sync
with each other.'

It was all part
of our big dream battle.

Big dream battle?
00:03:49.459 --> 00:03:52.182
So when it comes to battling,
you dream big?
00:03:52.182 --> 00:03:54.184
It means,
I beat 'em in my dreams.
00:03:54.184 --> 00:03:55.285
- Huh?
- In your dreams?
00:03:55.285 --> 00:03:57.157
You're nothing more
than a little kid!

A little kid,
but with big dreams!
00:03:59.369 --> 00:04:03.173
You know what, Soren? We never
have battled the Subway Bosses.
00:04:03.173 --> 00:04:05.465
Thanks! Now that should be
our dream for real!

- Come on. No way!

- Alright!
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:21.181
Since this is a Tag Battle..
00:04:21.181 --> 00:04:23.183
Who are you gonna
team up with, Ash?
00:04:23.183 --> 00:04:24.444
Right. Your choice.
00:04:24.444 --> 00:04:27.117
Well,
since Cilan has two brothers
00:04:27.117 --> 00:04:28.468
why don't you
just team up with him?
00:04:28.468 --> 00:04:31.121
- You really have two brothers?
- Right.
00:04:31.121 --> 00:04:33.003
Their names are Chili and Cress
00:04:33.003 --> 00:04:36.046
and all three of us are the Gym
Leaders at the Striaton Gym!
00:04:36.046 --> 00:04:37.147
You're a Gym Leader?
00:04:37.147 --> 00:04:39.409
Then Ash's partner
has to be Cilan!
00:04:39.409 --> 00:04:41.281
Awesome! It's all settled!
00:04:41.281 --> 00:04:43.083
If we defeat a Gym Leader
00:04:43.083 --> 00:04:45.355
then we'll become the world's
greatest Tag Battle brothers!
00:04:45.355 --> 00:04:48.008

00:07:45.295 --> 00:07:46.336
Right behind you, bro!

become one!

It's Metal Claw and Aerial Ace!
00:07:59.429 --> 00:08:02.052
That's why they call it
Aerial Claw!

- Unfezant.
- Pansage.

I totally can't get over
how amazing their teamwork is!

00:08:17.197 --> 00:08:19.319
How do you like
our double-move attacks?

Feel free to forfeit any time.
00:08:21.251 --> 00:08:23.403
Sorry.
No one's forfeiting anything.
00:08:23.403 --> 00:08:26.286
We can't give up! We want
the sweet taste of victory!
00:08:26.286 --> 00:08:28.058
Can you go on, Unfezant?

Hey, you're tougher
than I thought!
00:08:33.043 --> 00:08:35.485
But you guys are no match
for our ultimate teamwork.
00:08:35.485 --> 00:08:38.198
Oh, yeah? We'll see about that!
00:08:38.198 --> 00:08:40.340

down that hole.

Right with you, Cilan.
00:08:51.181 --> 00:08:54.034

Like it? That was our Dig Quick.
00:09:11.051 --> 00:09:13.323
Wait, perhaps Quick Dig
would be better!
00:09:13.323 --> 00:09:15.285
They both stink.

When the air and land
become one!
00:09:24.013 --> 00:09:26.216

00:09:51.171 --> 00:09:53.363

Braviary and Drilbur
can't continue.
00:10:05.054 --> 00:10:07.026
Unfezant and Pansage win.
00:10:07.026 --> 00:10:09.058
The victors are Ash and Cilan!
00:10:09.058 --> 00:10:11.040
We did it, Cilan!
00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:14.464
Well, victory in a Tag Battle
has a different flavor
00:10:14.464 --> 00:10:17.267
than victory in a Single Battle.
00:10:17.267 --> 00:10:19.469
The air and the land became one,
alright.
00:10:19.469 --> 00:10:21.221
[sighing]
00:10:21.221 --> 00:10:24.324
But who would have thought
the world would come to an end?
00:10:24.324 --> 00:10:27.997
We lost because your Drilbur
hardly attacked, Rocko!
00:10:27.997 --> 00:10:29.048
No way!
00:10:29.048 --> 00:10:31.211
We lost
because that Braviary of yours
00:10:31.211 --> 00:10:32.412
didn't dodge that Solar Beam!
00:10:32.412 --> 00:10:35.054
- 'Oh, yeah?'
- 'Yeah!'
00:10:35.054 --> 00:10:37.267
Hey, guys, you don't
have to fight like that.
00:10:37.267 --> 00:10:38.288
[AGREEMENT]
00:10:38.288 --> 00:10:40.019
So you lost.
00:10:40.019 --> 00:10:42.312
That doesn't mean you should act
like a couple of little kids.
00:10:42.312 --> 00:10:43.313
[AGREEMENT]
00:10:43.313 --> 00:10:44.994
True. She's right!
00:10:44.994 --> 00:10:48.047
Brothers should be helping
each other out and not fighting.
00:10:48.047 --> 00:10:50.350
That's some good thinking
from a Gym Leader.
00:10:50.350 --> 00:10:52.051
You're a brother expert.
00:10:52.051 --> 00:10:55.375
So from now on I'm gonna
call you my Super-Duper Big Bro.
00:10:55.375 --> 00:10:59.058
Actually,
Cilan will be just fine.
00:10:59.058 --> 00:11:00.330
Hey, Soren
00:11:00.330 --> 00:11:04.013
what do you think we need to do
to become stronger Tag Battlers?
00:11:04.013 --> 00:11:05.285
Let's see.
00:11:05.285 --> 00:11:09.048
CILAN
'Let Solrock's light
shine upon the lost Mareep!'
00:11:09.048 --> 00:11:11.221
Meaning,
you two just leave everything
00:11:11.221 --> 00:11:14.444
to this
expert Pokémon connoisseur.

Who's that Pokémon?
00:11:21.150 --> 00:11:23.132

It's Braviary!
00:11:23.132 --> 00:11:24.153
[EXERTION]
00:11:27.457 --> 00:11:30.470
Alright, it's evaluation time.
00:11:30.470 --> 00:11:33.142
Braviary's well suited
for battle-combo moves
00:11:33.142 --> 00:11:35.275
with its flying skills,
powerful claws
00:11:35.275 --> 00:11:36.476
and protective nature.
00:11:36.476 --> 00:11:38.478
'Tag Battling
is Soren's strength'
00:11:38.478 --> 00:11:42.402
'so the compatibility between
Soren and Braviary is perfect!'
00:11:42.402 --> 00:11:43.403
That's awesome!
00:11:43.403 --> 00:11:45.154
[AGREEMENT]
00:11:45.154 --> 00:11:47.287
And Drilbur's
incredible drilling speed
00:11:47.287 --> 00:11:50.059
truly makes it
the ruler of the land!
00:11:50.059 --> 00:11:52.262
'Tag Battling
is Rocko's strength as well'
00:11:52.262 --> 00:11:55.485
'so the compatibility between
these two is equally perfect.'
00:11:55.485 --> 00:11:56.486
[PLEASED]
00:11:56.486 --> 00:11:58.438
Isn't it great?
00:11:58.438 --> 00:12:01.070
Let's look at Braviary's moves.
00:12:01.070 --> 00:12:03.092
Braviary can use Wing Attack
00:12:03.092 --> 00:12:06.356
Brave Bird, Aerial Ace
and Fury Attack.
00:12:06.356 --> 00:12:09.449
Now that's a line-up
worthy of the ruler of the air!
00:12:09.449 --> 00:12:10.460
[AGREEMENT]
00:12:10.460 --> 00:12:13.012
And Drilbur's up next.
00:12:13.012 --> 00:12:15.054
Drilbur's able to use Drill Run
00:12:15.054 --> 00:12:17.086
and Dig, Metal Claw
00:12:17.086 --> 00:12:19.259
and also Rock Slide.
00:12:19.259 --> 00:12:22.342
Now that's a line-up
worthy of the ruler of the land!
00:12:22.342 --> 00:12:23.463
[AGREEMENT]
00:12:23.463 --> 00:12:26.065
So if we group them by type
00:12:26.065 --> 00:12:28.318
we come up with Flying,
Normal, Ground
00:12:28.318 --> 00:12:30.280
and Steel and Rock Type.
00:12:30.280 --> 00:12:33.002
Now, that gives them
the lightness of the air
00:12:33.002 --> 00:12:36.155
and the richness of the land,
but the result is a bit simple.
00:12:36.155 --> 00:12:37.277
Simple?
00:12:37.277 --> 00:12:39.088
What's wrong with simple,
anyway?
00:12:39.088 --> 00:12:40.290
This! Too simple.
00:12:40.290 --> 00:12:43.313
And your battles will lack
a certain depth of flavor
00:12:43.313 --> 00:12:45.265
which means
you won't do all that well
00:12:45.265 --> 00:12:47.246
against opponents
who have a type advantage!
00:12:47.246 --> 00:12:51.140
- Oh! I get it.
- Then what do we do about it?
00:12:51.140 --> 00:12:55.154
The answer is you need
to catch a Water-type Pokémon.
00:12:55.154 --> 00:12:57.427
- A Water type?
- That's right.
00:12:57.427 --> 00:13:00.380
If the two of you are the rulers
of the air and land
00:13:00.380 --> 00:13:03.303
and you add the ruler
of the water into the mix..
00:13:03.303 --> 00:13:06.255
We'll be the rulers
of land, air and water!
00:13:06.255 --> 00:13:09.158
- How cool would that be, Soren?
- Way cool!
00:13:09.158 --> 00:13:12.141
Alright! Let's go catch
a Water-type Pokémon!
00:13:12.141 --> 00:13:14.374
But now they're gonna have
to figure out how to do that.

[CONCERNED]
00:13:15.475 --> 00:13:17.417
Don't worry, Ash.
00:13:17.417 --> 00:13:19.148
Have you forgotten?
00:13:19.148 --> 00:13:22.322
I am
a proud fishing connoisseur!
00:13:24.003 --> 00:13:25.284

00:13:34.384 --> 00:13:36.396
Excellent! A perfect spot!

And a delicious opportunity
for fishing time!
00:13:41.371 --> 00:13:45.355
We meet again,
my custom rod and I.

Summoning the skills
to be quick and daring!
00:13:51.351 --> 00:13:55.004
Not to mention,
slow and cautious.
00:13:55.004 --> 00:13:57.357
This combination of ingredients
gives me the tools
00:13:57.357 --> 00:14:01.090
to reel in whatever Pokémon
I hook on my line.
00:14:01.090 --> 00:14:02.171
Off we go!
00:14:03.413 --> 00:14:05.324

- We're right with you, Cilan!
- We're right with you, Cilan!
00:14:12.121 --> 00:14:14.384
How about us,
since we're hanging out anyway?
00:14:14.384 --> 00:14:17.056
Sure, fishing just might
give me the chance
00:14:17.056 --> 00:14:19.158
to check out some awesome
new Water-type Pokémon.

fishing's so enjoyable..'

- Huh?
- Huh?
00:14:22.482 --> 00:14:25.144
...not knowing
which Pokémon will take the bait
00:14:25.144 --> 00:14:27.346
the seeds
of glorious anticipation.
00:14:27.346 --> 00:14:29.389
The worlds
above and below the water
00:14:29.389 --> 00:14:31.290
connected by a fishing line
00:14:31.290 --> 00:14:33.453
bringing us the joys
of new encounters!
00:14:33.453 --> 00:14:36.105
Fishing is as full
of passion and excitement
00:14:36.105 --> 00:14:39.028
as witnessing true romance
at first blush.
00:14:42.101 --> 00:14:44.384
- Huh?
- Uh-oh!
00:14:44.384 --> 00:14:48.157
Now just stay relaxed.
Remember, timing is everything.
00:14:48.157 --> 00:14:51.160
When the Pokémon pulls
on the line, then you pull back.
00:14:51.160 --> 00:14:52.492

- Got it!

- I say let's use Drill Wing!
- No, let's use Aerial Claw!
00:15:07.336 --> 00:15:11.240
- Huh? Drill Wing, Soren.
- No, Aerial Claw, Rocko.
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.464

We messed that up
because you didn't listen!

No, it was you!

- Huh?
- Break it up! Enough!
00:15:29.148 --> 00:15:31.280
It's very important
in a Tag Battle
00:15:31.280 --> 00:15:33.132
to cover
for each other's weaknesses
00:15:33.132 --> 00:15:35.134
and accentuate
each other's strengths

but if the Trainers on a Tag
Battle team fight each other
00:15:38.107 --> 00:15:39.258
then everything goes wrong!
00:15:39.258 --> 00:15:42.161
Now he's right!
I'm Soren, ruler of the air!
00:15:42.161 --> 00:15:44.363
I'm Rocko, ruler of the land!
00:15:44.363 --> 00:15:47.126
When you add a Pokémon
that rules the water
00:15:47.126 --> 00:15:49.449
you can become
the most powerful team ever!
00:15:49.449 --> 00:15:53.402
And that's based on my extensive
experience as a connoisseur.
00:15:53.402 --> 00:15:54.474
Thanks, Cilan!
00:15:54.474 --> 00:15:57.156
Super-Duper Big Bro,
you're so awesome.
00:15:57.156 --> 00:16:00.189
Thank you,
but super-duper's not me.
00:16:04.113 --> 00:16:05.144
- Huh?
- A bite!
00:16:05.144 --> 00:16:07.046
- Your next step?
- Right.
00:16:07.046 --> 00:16:08.147
Timing is everything.
00:16:08.147 --> 00:16:10.439
When it pulls on the line,
then we pull back!
00:16:10.439 --> 00:16:14.253
CILAN
Correct. Wait, Wait. Go!
00:16:14.253 --> 00:16:16.255
- And pull!
- And pull!
00:16:16.255 --> 00:16:18.257
[EXERTION]
00:16:18.257 --> 00:16:19.398
- Who are they?
- Who are they?
00:16:19.398 --> 00:16:21.150
A Corphish and Buizel.
00:16:23.052 --> 00:16:25.284
[EXERTION]
00:16:25.284 --> 00:16:28.007
Buizel,
the Sea-Weasel Pokémon.
00:16:28.007 --> 00:16:29.308
Buizel's collar can be used
00:16:29.308 --> 00:16:31.320
as a flotation device
when inflated.
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.043
Its head stays above water
when floating.
00:16:34.043 --> 00:16:36.275
Corphish, the Ruffian Pokémon.
00:16:36.275 --> 00:16:39.148
Corphish lives anywhere
adapting to its surroundings.
00:16:39.148 --> 00:16:42.151
Its pincers hold on tightly
when it catches prey.
00:16:42.151 --> 00:16:44.473
You've got to work together
this time, right?
00:16:44.473 --> 00:16:46.055
[AGREEMENT]
00:16:46.055 --> 00:16:49.258
- Right! You ready, Rocko?
- Ready, Soren!
00:16:49.258 --> 00:16:51.160
[ATTACK]
00:16:51.160 --> 00:16:53.032
- Alright, dodge it!
- Alright, dodge it!
00:16:53.032 --> 00:16:54.143
[DODGING]
00:16:54.143 --> 00:16:56.465
When the air and land
become one!
00:16:56.465 --> 00:16:58.998
The world will begin a new age!
00:16:58.998 --> 00:17:00.469
- Brave Dig, let's go!
- Brave Dig, let's go!
00:17:00.469 --> 00:17:02.191

00:17:02.191 --> 00:17:04.293

[DIG MOVE]
00:17:08.057 --> 00:17:09.448
Alright! It's Brave Dig!
00:17:09.448 --> 00:17:11.350
[EXCITED]
00:17:11.350 --> 00:17:13.132
[SURPRISED]
00:17:13.132 --> 00:17:14.413

00:17:16.455 --> 00:17:18.317
[PAINED]
00:17:18.317 --> 00:17:21.160
I'll catch Buizel and you catch
Corphish. Okay, bro?
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:22.341
Right! I'm on it!
00:17:22.341 --> 00:17:26.165
- Now go, Poké Ball!
- Now go, Poké Ball!
00:17:32.321 --> 00:17:33.432
[EXERTION]
00:17:33.432 --> 00:17:34.453
- Huh?
- Huh?
00:17:34.453 --> 00:17:37.006
They weren't ready yet!
00:17:37.006 --> 00:17:38.127
Launch your next attack!
00:17:38.127 --> 00:17:40.279
When the air and land
become one!
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:42.311
The world will begin a new age!
00:17:42.311 --> 00:17:44.313
- Drill Wing, let's go!
- Drill Wing, let's go!
00:17:44.313 --> 00:17:46.045
[APPEARING]
00:17:46.045 --> 00:17:47.136
[WING MOVE]
00:17:47.136 --> 00:17:49.338
[DRILL RUN MOVE]
00:17:49.338 --> 00:17:52.341
[EXERTION]
00:17:54.153 --> 00:17:56.125
Nail that Drill Wing!

Okay, now's our chance!
00:18:02.181 --> 00:18:04.453
- Let's get them this time!
- Right with you, bro!
00:18:04.453 --> 00:18:08.157
- One more time! Go, Poké Ball!
- One more time! Go, Poké Ball!
00:18:12.091 --> 00:18:13.322
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
00:18:16.115 --> 00:18:17.997
- Alright!
- Alright!
00:18:17.997 --> 00:18:20.249
Awesome! Great job, you guys!
00:18:20.249 --> 00:18:22.021
[EXCITED]
00:18:22.021 --> 00:18:24.303
Thanks, Ash!
Now we've got air and land..
00:18:24.303 --> 00:18:28.157
And the overwhelming
triple-whammy power of water!
00:18:28.157 --> 00:18:31.060
We'll see about the overwhelming
triple-whammy part.
00:18:31.060 --> 00:18:32.111
[AGREEMENT]
00:18:32.111 --> 00:18:33.382
We're a lot stronger
00:18:33.382 --> 00:18:35.484
thanks to our
Super-Duper Big Bro Cilan
00:18:35.484 --> 00:18:38.337
who's an awesome Pokémon
and fishing connoisseur!
00:18:38.337 --> 00:18:40.149
You made it all possible!
00:18:40.149 --> 00:18:43.152
SOREN/ROCKO
So please, let us show you guys
our brand-new move!
00:18:43.152 --> 00:18:45.094
We really should be going now
00:18:45.094 --> 00:18:47.006
but I don't think
that's gonna happen.
00:18:47.006 --> 00:18:48.107
[AGREEMENT]
00:18:48.107 --> 00:18:51.150
The air that connects the world
is calling for us!
00:18:51.150 --> 00:18:54.083
The land that connects the world
is calling for us, too!
00:18:54.083 --> 00:18:56.465
SOREN/ROCKO
And now even the water
that connects the world
00:18:56.465 --> 00:18:58.157
is calling for us!
00:19:00.189 --> 00:19:03.422
- The older bro!
- The younger bro!
00:19:03.422 --> 00:19:05.464
- We're Soren and Rocko!
- We're Soren and Rocko!
00:19:05.464 --> 00:19:08.377
So when the air and the water
become one
00:19:08.377 --> 00:19:10.399
the world will begin a new age!
00:19:10.399 --> 00:19:12.251
Jet Brave, let's go!
00:19:12.251 --> 00:19:14.153
[BRAVE BIRD MOVE]
00:19:14.153 --> 00:19:16.035
[AQUA JET MOVE]
00:19:16.035 --> 00:19:19.328
A battle-combo move
using Brave Bird and Aqua Jet!
00:19:19.328 --> 00:19:21.140
Simply beautiful!
00:19:21.140 --> 00:19:23.312
And when the land and the water
become one
00:19:23.312 --> 00:19:25.144
the world will begin a new age!
00:19:25.144 --> 00:19:26.485
Bubble Drill, let's go!
00:19:26.485 --> 00:19:28.187
[EXERTION]/[BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]
00:19:28.187 --> 00:19:30.069
[DRILL RUN MOVE]
00:19:31.370 --> 00:19:35.254
Rocko's battle-combo move uses
Drill Run and Bubble Beam! Wow!
00:19:35.254 --> 00:19:36.455
But since they're Tag Battling
00:19:36.455 --> 00:19:39.148
shouldn't they both be involved
in a battle-combo move?
00:19:39.148 --> 00:19:40.279
Not with us!
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.351
And that's why
we're the most powerful bros
00:19:42.351 --> 00:19:44.433
using
our new Tag Battling style!
00:19:44.433 --> 00:19:46.485
We'll take on anyone, anytime!
00:19:46.485 --> 00:19:49.288
[all laughing]
00:19:50.419 --> 00:19:53.262
Promise me you keep that spirit
and train hard!
00:19:53.262 --> 00:19:56.345
And the next time we meet,
let's have another Tag Battle.
00:19:56.345 --> 00:19:58.367
SOREN/ROCKO
Sure! We'll be ready for ya!
00:19:58.367 --> 00:19:59.368
'Later!'

[birds chirping]
00:20:05.274 --> 00:20:09.278
I had such a satisfying day
today as a Pokémon connoisseur.
00:20:09.278 --> 00:20:10.259
[water splashing]
00:20:10.259 --> 00:20:12.141
[gasping]
00:20:12.141 --> 00:20:15.364
- 'A Palpitoad and a Swanna.'
- One second.
00:20:15.364 --> 00:20:17.336
If Soren caught a
Water-and-Flying-type
00:20:17.336 --> 00:20:18.337
like Swanna
00:20:18.337 --> 00:20:20.339
and Rocko caught
a Water-and-Ground-type
00:20:20.339 --> 00:20:21.440
like Palpitoad
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:23.322
that would have played
to their strengths
00:20:23.322 --> 00:20:27.146
and might have made them an even
more perfect Tag Battle team.
00:20:27.146 --> 00:20:29.098
Don't worry about it, Cilan.
00:20:29.098 --> 00:20:31.410
She's right.
You saw how psyched they were.
00:20:31.410 --> 00:20:34.363
Then I guess that everything's
as it should be.

With Cilan's seasoned advice
00:20:38.337 --> 00:20:41.160
Soren and Rocko
each have a Water-type Pokémon
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:43.272
to complete
their Tag Battle team.
00:20:43.272 --> 00:20:45.444
Now it's off again
to Vertress City
00:20:45.444 --> 00:20:47.446
as the journey continues.
