## Sparking Confusion!

    [The title card comes up]
    Ash: [voiceover] Sparking Confusion!
    [The Ultra Guardians are flying across the sea to Akala Island]
    Narrator: The Ultra Guardians, their mission - investigate Wela Volcano and find the reason for this magnetic anomaly.
    [Soon, some of the lava from Wela Volcano is bubbling and the Ultra Guardians have landed somewhere nearby for their ultra-important mission]
    Kiawe: Checking from the sky isn't enough. We should investigate on foot.
    Ash: Got it. [Steps up to Kiawe] So, how do we investigate a magnetic anomaly?
    Kiawe: You mean you don't know?
    Lillie: I borrowed a portable sensor.
    Sophocles: Yeah, I did, too.
    [We see through Sophocles' portable sensor and see Ash and Kiawe in a black and white picture]
    Ash: You can find an anomaly with that?
    Lillie: Right. And since we have two sensors, we should all probably split up into two groups.
    Kiawe: Lillie's right. I'll search the area near the mines with Ash and Sophocles.
    Mallow: Got it. Then the three of us should check out the area we're in right now.
    [The Ultra Guardians return their ride Pokémon to their Ultra balls]
    Ash: Let's move out!
    Kiawe's Marowak: Maro-Marowak! [Togedemaru and Pikachu follow it]
    Togedemaru: Maru!
    Pikachu: Pika-Pika!
    [Kiawe, Ash and Sophocles go off to the mines with their partner Pokémon]
    Mallow: Let's move out, too.
    Lillie: Now, let's see. [Her sensor starts up with a greyscale screen. Bright green triangles and arrows appear as they turn red right to left]
    Lana: That way.
    Lillie: I recorded it.
    Mallow: Let me see.
    [Then, the three girls are shocked to discover three hikers. In real life, they are wearing green vests and carrying big brown backpacks]
    Hikers: Yo! Yo! Yo! [They scurry off]
    Mallow: Those guys...
    Lana: I get the feeling I've seen them before.

## We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!

    [Note: Sandy the Eevee is harshly criticized by fans for lack of focus, the third Eevee owned by a Poké-girl, false advertising (Eevee was displayed on a poster in front of Ash hinting Ash was going to get it until the reveal) and not becoming a Vaporean (Lana is a Water-type Specialist). Sandy is the main reason why the writers had to give Ash Pokémon from previous generations in Journeys onwards, which they should have done back in Generation VI.]
    [noticing the shaggy haired Eevee playing well with Popplio]
    Lana: Eevee loves the sea for sure. [After a few moments of Eevee and Popplio later] Sandy.
    Mallow: Sandy?
    Lana: Its name. I named it.
    Sophocles: Huh? You named it before you caught it?
    Kiawe: You're getting ahead of yourselves.
    Mallow: Yeah, you're doing things backwards.
    Ash: It's time to catch it, yeah!

## Alola, Alola!

    Lana: Attention, please! I'm happy to say that we have guests today!
    The rest of Lana's classmates and Pokemon: Huh?
    [As promised by the writers, Misty and Brock enter the classroom]
    Both Misty and Brock: Alola!
    Misty: Long time, no see!
    Brock: You look great!

## Memories in the Mist!

    [Mallow has wound up in a misty landscape]
    Mallow: Huh?
    [She turns round to see a shadow in the distance. The shadow turns out to be her late mother]
    Mallow's Mother: Hi.
    [Mallow, having just seen her mother, starts running to her]
    Mallow: Mom. Mommy! [Hugs her mother]
    Tsarenna: Tsareena. [Hugs Mallow's mother]
    Mallow's Mother: Look how big you've grown. [Strokes Tsareena] And Bounsweet, you've evolved too.
    Tsarenna: Tsar. Tsareena.
    [Mallow begins to cry]
    Mallow's Mother: Mallow?
    Mallow: [tearfully] I'm sorry, mum, for saying I hated you. I'm so sorry. [Her mother strokes her gently on the head]
    Mallow's Mother: It's okay, Mallow. Here.
    Mallow: [tearfully] But... but...
    Mallow's Mother: It's my fault. I'm to blame for that. I'm so sorry.
    Mallow: [tearfully] That's not true.
    Mallow's Mother: You didn't do anything wrong, dear. Listen to me. [Mallow looks at her] You know what? Instead of saying "I'm sorry", this is what I should have said. I should've said "Thanks". I'm thanking you now, for coming into this world as my sweet little girl. [Nearby, a Gracidea flower blooms] And I thank you for bringing so much love and happiness to me, your father, and your brother too.
    [Then, a second Gracidea flower blooms]
    Mallow: [tearfully] Mum?
    Mallow's Mother: I thank you for raising Bounsweet so wonderfully.
    Tsarenna: Tsareena. [As she recites her name, another Gracidea flower blooms]
    Mallow's Mother: [to Mallow] And thank you, for nurturing the family restaurant with love. Thank you, dear, for growing up so good and compassionate and with such a loving heart. Thank you...
    Mallow: [tearfully] Mom, stop. [Wipes from tears away from her eyes] Let me try it again.
    Mallow's Mother: Huh?
    Mallow: Just remember the apology I just gave, please. [Sniffles and smiles] Thank you, mom, so very much. For always being such a cheerful and kind mother. [A Gracidea flower blooms] And thank you for making such yummy meals for me everyday. [Another Gracidea flower blooms] Thank you for taking all those wonderful walks with me that I always loved so very much. [Another Gracidea flower blooms] And thank you, for catching Bounsweet just for me... [The camera cuts to Bounsweet] ...So I wouldn't have to ever be lonely.
    Mallow's Mother: Mallow.
    Mallow: Y'know What else? Thank you for bringing me into this world.
    [Mallow and her mother are now standing in a field full of Gracidea flowers which are blooming beautifully]

## Got Meltan?

    [The Who's That Pokémon segment comes up]
    Ash & his classmates: Who's that Pokémon? It's... Meltan!
    Meltan: Mel!
    [Down in the Ultra Guardians' base, Clefable is putting the last Meltan in the basket case while carrying some metal in her left hand]
    Clefable: Clefable.
    [The other Meltan in the basket have their eyes on the piece of metal in Clefable's left hand]
    Group of Meltan: Meltan!
    [Clefable puts the last Meltan inside the basket]
    Clefable: Clefable... [Gets out a rocky piece of metal] Hmmmm... [The Meltan squeal excitedly] Clefable. [Moves the piece of metal in her right hand in different directions as the Meltan chase after it while their eyes turn into black hearts, making Clefable happy] Clefable!

## The Secret Princess!

    Ash: That's the spirit!
    Pikachu: [excited] Pika!
    Mallow: [softly] Keep it down! Lillie needs to concentrate!
    Ash: Sorry about that.

## Aiming for the Top Floor!

    [Ash and his classmates enter the Kantonian Gym and gasp]
    Pikachu: Pika.
    [They can see a large pond with a fountain feature]
    Lana: Beautiful! Who would've thought there would be such a big pond and fountain in here?
    Lillie: What are we going to be doing in here?
    Farley: Everyone calls me Farley. If you want to move up, you'll have to go through me first.
    Kiawe: I can do that!
    Ash: Then we can move on to a battle.
    Farley: Now, that's what I like to hear. So, your very first game is called Water Crossing.
    Ash: Water Crossing?
    Farley: You're going to cross this pond.
    Lana: I love to swim, watch this!
    Farley: Huh? [Sandy jumps in the pond, but when Lana tries to jump in, Farley grabs her by the hand] No! Don't do it! You have to cross over the water, but you're not allowed to swim.
    Lana: Huh?
    [Farley places a box down]
    Farley: You're welcome to use these tools. Or you and your Pokémon can work together instead. The point is to make it across to the other side.
    [Ash picks up a water shoe]
    Ash: Whoa, how do you get it to work?
    Farley: Watch. [Places a water shoe on the floor] Like this. You put it on like so. [Puts his right foot in the water shoe. Soon, he is wearing two water shoes as he glides across the pond] And then you simply glide across.
    Mallow: Amazing. Like walking on water.
    Ash: Wow!
    Pikachu: Pika!
    Kiawe: It looks easy as pie.

## A Recipe For Success!

    [At Oranguru's place, the Melemele Greens, a group of Passimian, are enjoying their drinks and Mallow and Tsareena are admiring Oranguru's work]
    Mallow: You've sure got a lot of customers. It's hard work.
    Meowth: So why don't you lighten up your workload and get on out of here? [Slurps his drink]
    [Oranguru puts two more drinks on the table as Mallow puts some straws in them]
    Oranguru: Gu? [Want to help out?]
    Mallow: I can help out. [Takes two drinks to the Melemele Greens] Here you go. [The Passimian start asking for more] These are all yours.
    [Soon, the Melemele Greens are enjoying their drinks]
    Mallow: Enjoy your juice.
    [Later, they are waving goodbye to Mallow and Oranguru when one of them throws a coconut to Mallow]
    Mallow: Uh?
    Oranguru: Oranguru. [I am so pleased.]
    Mallow: Thank you so much! [Turns to Oranguru] So, Teacher, the Big Mushrooms?
    Oranguru: Oranguru. [Sure.]
    [A Gumshoos enters Oranguru's place and sits on a bench at the table where Meowth is still drinking. Meowth turns to it. A splitscreen of Mallow appears on the right]
    Mallow: Hey, that's a Gumshoos.
    Meowth: It works with Officer Jenny.
    Mallow: Officer Jenny? [A scene with Gumshoos riding with Officer Jenny plays. Gumshoos is in the sidecar while Officer Jenny controls the motorcycle] Wonder if Gumshoos is off duty today.
    Gumshoos: Gumshoos. [The usual, please] [Places a Pecha Berry on the table and Oranguru picks it up]
    Oranguru: Guru. [Coming up] [Puts the Pecha Berry with the fruit]
    Meowth: That's the only thing that Gumshoos ever orders when it comes in here.
    Mallow: Really?
    Oranguru: Ru. [Your turn.]
    Mallow: Who me?
    Oranguru: Ru, ranguru. [You do the serving this time.]
    Mallow: Uh?
    Meowth: It said, "YOU do the serving this time."
    Mallow: Who, me?
    Oranguru: Guru, Guru. [That's right, Mallow.]
    Meowth: Ah, quit while you're ahead. It's out of your league. Don't even try.
    [Mallow looks nervously around the room until...]
    Mallow: [with a determined angry look on her face] Of course I'll give it a try!
    Meowth: You're kidding!
    Tsareena: Tsareena! [No she isn't!]
    Shaymin: Shaymin, Shaymin! [We got your back!]
    [Mallow looks at the fruit]
    Mallow: Let's see. What Gumshoos likes. What would Gumshoos like? [A flashback with Gumshoos eating a lime plays. It then guzzles down some Moomoo Milk] Yes, that's it! I know.
    Meowth: That's it, what? Spill the beans.
    [Mallow pours some Moomoo Milk into a cup and gives it to Gumshoos]
    Mallow: Here's your favourite, some farm-fresh Moomoo Milk. Was I right? [Gumshoos starts drinking the Moomoo Milk] Oh, ah...
    Gumshoos: [Happily] Gumshoos. [Delicious.]
    Mallow: [Chuckles] Thank goodness!
    Meowth: [Surprised] How did she do that? She's a twerpette!

## Living on the Cutting Edge!

    Samson Oak: And that also means "You-cario"!

## Battle Royale 151!

    Hiroki: Ready, everybody! I'll take you all on!
    Mudbray: Mudbray! [Bring it!]
    [Three oncoming attacks hit the two knocking them out in the process]
    Hiroki: [weakly] I am...I am...a champion...or not. [That's what happens when you goad your opponents into attacking you]
    Hala: And Mudbray is unable to continue!

## The Road to the Semi-Finals!

    [Kiawe builds up his Z-Move]
    Kiawe: Now! Here we go, Charizard! The zenith... of my mind! Of body... and spirit! With the great power of Akala! Ride the blazing hot winds and fly high! Supersonic Skystrike!
    [His Charizard goes high into the sky]
    Sophocles: Now, Vikavolt! Use Wild Charge! [Vikavolt uses Wild Charge and collides with Charizard] Concentrate your power. Locate a weak point and stop that Z-Move!
    [As the two Pokémon battle, Rotom Dex, Ash and the girls talk]
    Rotom Dex: It's holding the Z-Move back!
    Lana: That's so incredible!
    [Then, we see the Pokémon who are watching the match but then, Charizard's Supersonic Skystrike overpowers Vikavolt's Wild Charge as Charizard forces Vikavolt to the ground. Charizard is still standing, but Vikavolt shudders and then faints]
    Hala: Vikavolt is unable to battle, which means Kiawe is the winner!
    [Kiawe smiles and goes over to Sophocles who is now attending to Vikavolt]
    Sophocles: Vikavolt! Thanks for the great battling. You gave it your all.
    Vikavolt: Vikavolt!
    Kiawe: You were amazing, Sophocles.
    Sophocles: Thanks. Next time I won't lose.
    Kiawe: All right. Then I'll keep getting stronger so that I can keep up.
    Sophocles: Huh?
    [Kiawe and Sophocles shake hands while their classmates and Professor Kukui watch. Meanwhile, at Sophocles' house, Sophocles' parents have been watching the match on their flatscreen TV]
    Sophocles' Dad: Sophocles is one impressive young man!
    Sophocles' Mom: He certainly is! We'll have a malasada party when he gets home!

## Enter the Champion!!

    [The students have seen the Counter attack that Gladion's Midnight Lycanroc has performed on Ash's Dusk Lycanroc]
    Mallow: Amazing!
    Sophocles: How much training does it take to get to that level? Incredible!
    Lana: A commitment to victory!
    Kiawe: He may be cool and calm on the outside but his internal temperature is as hot as fire!
    Lillie: Hmmm....
    [The camera cuts to Ash's Lycanroc who is on the ground after being hit by the Counter attack from Gladion's Midnight Lycanroc]
    League Announcer: Now the question is, can Ash's Lycanroc manage to stay in the battle?
    Ash: Can you get up, Lycanroc?
    Ash's Lycanroc: Lycanroc!
    Gladion: Our final push! Stone Edge, let's go!
    Ash's Lycanroc: Now use Bite!
    [Gladion's Lycanroc growls and uses its Stone Edge attack, and Crystal-like stalagmites start forming on the battlefield]
    Ash's Lycanroc: Roc! Roc! Roc! [Uses Bite to bite through the stalagmites its opponent has formed] Roc! Roc! Roc! Roc! Roc! [You'll! Have! To! Do! Better! Than! That! Midnight! Lycanroc!]
    Ash: [growling] Ah!
    Gladion: Stone Edge, one more time!
    Ash: [to his Lycanroc] Use Accelerock, full power!
    Ash's Lycanroc: Roc! [Accelrock!] [Uses Accelerock and breaks through the crystal-like stalagmites formed by Gladion's Lycanroc's Stone Edge attack] Roc! [Nice try!] [Growls]
    Ash: AND GO!
    Gladion: Finish this off with counter!
    Gladion's Lycanroc: Roc! [Counter this!] [Gladion's Lycanroc uses Counter on it]
    Ash: We're not done! Now use Counter against Counter!
    Gladion: No way!
    Ash's Lycanroc: Roc. [You first!] [Flips round and one of its spikes hits Gladion's Lycanroc]
    [Gladion's Lycanroc is sent flying past Gladion and into the stadium door in which Gladion entered at the start of the final. It faints shortly after. Meanwhile, Ash's Lycanroc is panting after using its Reversal attack]
    Gladion's Lycanroc: Lycan...roc. [Too...powerful...]
    [The camera cuts to Professor Kukui who has seen everything]
    Professor Kukui: Lycanroc is unable to battle, so the winner is Ash! [HURRAY! YOU FINALLY WON AN OFFICIAL POKéMON LEAGUE! CONGRATULATIONS ASH!]
    [The crowd around the stadium start cheering]
    League Announcer: And that's it! After the battle to end all battles, one trainer stands alone as the first Alola Pokémon League Champion, and that trainer is Ash!
    [The students' Pokémon are all cheering and Ash's friends are admiring Ash's victory from their seats]
    Mallow: Ash won it all!
    Lana: Enter a new champion!
    Kiawe: What a fiery display!
    Sophocles: Gladion was so strong!
    Lillie: They were both amazing, truly.
    [Meanwhile, Delia, Mimey and Professor Oak are also admiring Ash's victory, albeit in another part of Manalo Stadium]
    Professor Oak: And to think that young man is now the Alola Pokémon League Champion! That was some bout!
    Delia: I'm so proud of my son!
    [Faba, Wicke and Professor Burnet are watching the same footage from somewhere else]
    Professor Burnet: Ash, that was an impressive victory!
    Wicke: The drama in this final match was truly epic!
    Faba: And now Ash gets to challenge the Masked Royal! My jealousy knows no bounds!
    Lusamine: My dear son, your father would be so very proud.
    [Back inside the stadium, Ash is staring in shock that he finally won a League as the crowd continues cheering him for his victory]
    Gladion: Time to wake up, my friend.
    Ash: Huh? Uh...what just happened?
    Gladion: [helping Midnight Lycanroc back onto its feet] You won. Congratulations champion. [proceeds to shake Ash's hand]
    Ash: Thanks, Gladion. Great battle.
    [The two Lycanrocs are thanking each other for the battle]
    League Announcer: A tremendous effort, a battle as powerful as the Alola sun... [The camera cuts to Ash's friends clapping their hands] ...with all its shining power and majesty. [Ash's Torracat and Rowlet are also cheering] These two trainers gave you a roaring good time, so let them hear you!
    [The crowd continues cheering]
    Gladion: Ash.
    Ash: Hmm?
    Gladion: Let's do this again.
    Ash: Of course!
    Pikachu: [jumping onto Ash's shoulder] Pikachu! [We won!]
    Ash's Lycanroc: Roc! [All thanks to you!]
    [Ash laughs. The camera zooms to underneath the Manalo Stadium where Jessie is eating a Malasada donut and is horrified upon watching the result]
    Jessie: You're kidding me! The twerp is champion?! [Turns to James who is working on the Bewear mech] And what about you, Mr. Fix-it?
    James: Once this piece is bolted in, we're off! [Fixes the bolt onto the mech] Tight as can be!
    Meowth: Oh, la la! Wheee!
    Jessie: We're off on a Pokémon pilfering spree!
    James: Complete with every bell and whistle, you'll see! And brought to you by little old me!
    Jessie: We're painting Alola in Team Rocket living colour!
    Wobbuffet: Wobba-wobba-wobba-wobba! [This will be more funner!]
    Team Rocket: Yay!

## From Z to Shining Z!

    [As Tapu Koko forms the massive body for its Z-Move, Ash's Z-Ring resonates as the Electrium Z becomes the rare Pikashunium Z once again.]
    Pikachu: Pika! (Let's do it!)
    Ash: [smiles, before taking off his hat]: Yeah, well, okay!
    Pikachu: Pika! (Here we go!)
    Ash: Let's show them what real power looks like! Yeah!
    Pikachu: Pikachu!!
    [Ash and Pikachu perform the Z-Move pose for the final clash.]
    Professor Kukui: Right!
    Tapu Koko: Ko...koko!! (Time for the ultimate test!)
    Ash: Much bigger than a Thunderbolt! 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt! Yeah, this is much, much bigger, our super full power!
    Pikachu: Pikapika! (Watch out, Tapu Koko!)
    Professor Kukui: Tapu Koko, USE GUARDIAN OF ALOLA!!!!!!
    [Tapu Koko sends a power-packing punch downward toward Pikachu!]
    Ash: Pikachu, use...10,000,000 VOLT THUNDERBOLT!!!
    [Dark clouds gather as Pikachu gathers its energy before charging in]
    Pikachu: PIKA!!!! CHUUUUUUU!!!!!
    [The two Z-Moves come together in an explosive and exhilarating clash of strength!]
    Professor Kukui: ENOUGH!!!
    Ash: Alright, here we go...! FULL POWER!!
    [Ash and Pikachu fight back as they expel more strength in a Kamehameha-style gesture! As the clash rages on, the background goes white, leaving only Ash and Pikachu in view.]
    Pikachu: Pika? (What is this feeling?)
    Ash: Hey, can you feel it, buddy? The power of Alola!
    Pikachu: Pika? (Power of Alola?)
    Ash: Ever since we got to the Alola region, we've felt this power in all kinds of places...
    [A flashback montage of Ash and Pikachu's adventures through Alola plays.]
    Ash: During our many trials and grand trials, we've met tons of new Pokémon, made new friends, and had lots of battles with rivals, too! And every time, we've always felt the power of Alola! So, now we're gonna become one with that power!

## Dreams of the Sun and Moon!

    Olivia: You know what? It sounds like you want to become a Kahuna, do you?
    Rotom Dex: Are you saying your dream is to actually become a Kahuna?!
    Olivia: Getting to know what the world is like is a very important step. You'll have a broader perspective once you expand your horizons. The truth is, it will allow you to look at yourself and find ways you can improve. Right, Ash? [Ash is confused at this wisdom] As someone who came all the way to Alola to train, you already know that, don't you?
    Ash: [after thinking about what Olivia said about travelling the world to improve his skills, as well as realizing that his Alola journey is drawing to a close] I've got it! I've decided I want to go out and see the world! [Rotom Dex is confused] Pikachu, what do you say we go home? [Pikachu eagerly jumps onto Ash's shoulder] The world has more awesome things for us to see. There are tons more Pokemon out there! [Pikachu eagerly agrees to head into another new adventure. Keep in mind that because Ash officially won a League and is an official Champion, having Ash compete in more region Leagues after that would have been seen not only as a repetitive and tiresome storyline but also as a permanent regression in Ash's skills as a trainer.]

## Thank you Alola! The Journey Continues!

    [The title card comes up. Note: In this episode, the usual title card jingle is replaced with dub music]
    Ash: [voiceover] Thank you Alola! The Journey Continues!
    [The scene cuts to Team Rocket in Bewear's den]
    Team Rocket: Ahhhhh! [Bewear stuffs honey in their mouths, with Wobbuffet going first, then James, Jessie, and finally Meowth] YUMMY!
    [Mareanie pops up with some honey on her tentacle]
    Mareanie: Marea? [Feeds Stufful and Mimikyu with some honey from her tentacle] Marea! [The R capsule rings] Mar?
    James: It's headquarters!
    Jessie: Answer it later.
    James: Huh?
    Jessie: Puh-lease! Who wants to see that bob-cut glasses goon gal while we eat?
    Meowth: Or that annoying Alolan Meowth big mouth?
    James: Yes, but still...
    [Mimikyu answers the R capsule and it opens]
    Jessie: Wait! Mimikyu!
    [Giovanni appears on a hologram screen on the R capsule]
    Giovanni: Well, good morning, team.
    Team Rocket: Yipes! It's the Boss! [They stand up to Giovanni]
    Meowth: We bid you an extra-good morning!
    Giovanni: I'll get to the point. I'm ordering you all back to headquarters.
    Jessie: Hooray! We're all going back to headquarters! [Everyone is horrified] Headquarters?!
    James: You mean...
    Meowth: Where YOU are?!
    Wobbuffet: Wobbu-wobbu?! (As in, back in Kanto?!)
    Matori: Giovanni is looking forward to seeing all the fruits from your labour from your time in Alola.
    Matori's Alolan Meowth: Meowth, Meowth, Meowth, Meowth, Meowth. (Don't be late and let us down)
    Meowth: [angrily] If I had fruits, I'd throw 'em at YOU! [The camera cuts to inside Team Rocket's headquarters] You no-talent LUMP!
    Jessie: Stop that. It's unsightly.
    James: Just put a cork in it! [Takes Meowth away from the R capsule]
    Giovanni: I expect results.
    James: Yes, sir!
    [The hologram disappears]
    Jessie: Now what? We need Alolan product.
    James: True, and fast.
    [Mimikyu gives Stufful a fruit and Stufful eats it. It then becomes satisfied]
    Mareanie: [Racing up to Stufful] Marean. Mareanie.
    Stufful: Stufful.
    Mareanie: Mareanie.
    Stufful: Stufful! [Hugs Mimikyu]
    Mareanie: Rean! [Bewear strokes her on the head] Mar?
    Bewear: Bewe.
    Mareanie: Reanie!
    [Team Rocket are looking sad]
    [A depressed Mimikyu admits to Meowth that it tried to fight Pikachu but ended up seeing itself as a monster upon looking at its reflection in the ocean]
    Meowth: Being down on your looks won't do you any good. This may be a good time to stop pretending and accept yourself for who you really are.
    Mimikyu: [makes garbled noises and cleans its disguise becoming happy again] [You're right! I should be a better Pokémon and accept for who I am!]
    [As the Team Rocket Gang are ready to depart back to Kanto, they say goodbye to Bewear and hop into their balloon]
    The gang: [taking a bow] Thank you for your hospitality.
    [Bewear walks over to them scaring the group]
    Jessie: DON'T BREAK US LIKE A WALNUT!
    James: We're too young to get squished! [Fortunately, Bewear gives them a gentle hug]
    Bewear: Bewear. [I'll miss you guys.]
    The gang: You like us!
    Jessie: Okay, we hate to eat and run but...[the rest of the gang joins in]...later!
    Bewear: Bewear. Bewear-wear. [Are you guys heading to Kanto?]
    Meowth: Say, what? We're headed to Kanto? Yeah, but why are you asking?
    Bewear: [grabs the balloon and hurls them into the sky like a hammer] Weeaarr!! Weeaarr!! [Hang on! Goodbye friends!]
    [Rotom's flashback concludes]
    Ash: That's it.
    Sophocles: The best Pokédex in the universe.
    Lana: I want to go on an adventure, too.
    Ash: I'm sorry, Lana. Solgaleo was in a big hurry.
    Kiawe: Guess we should expect things like this from you, Ash.
    Ash: There's one more thing. I have to tell you something.
    Mallow, Lana, Lillie, Sophocles & Kiawe: Huh?
    Ash: I'm gonna go home to Pallet Town.
    Mallow, Lana, Lillie, Sophocles & Kiawe: Huh?
    Ash: You see, ever since Pikachu and I came to Alola, we've met you and tons of Pokémon. We learned lots of things at the Pokémon School. Yeah, it's been really the best, but now, I think... I'm going back home for a while and then I'm going to check out some other places.
    Pikachu: Pika! [Jumps down onto Ash's right arm]
    Ash: That'll give me a new chance to meet more new people and tons of new Pokémon and have a lot of Pokémon battles and get stronger and stronger. Someday, I'll do what I set out to do - become a Pokémon Master!
    Kiawe: [realising that Ash has a new goal in life] You're not just talking about this vacation, you're really going...
    Ash: Yeah.
    Kiawe: [putting his right hand over his mouth] Aw, man. How about a warning, huh?
    Mallow: Yeah, really! W-What a shock!
    Sophocles: The only surprise today was supposed to be Lillie's party.
    Lillie: It seems like I'm getting nothing but surprises, you know?
    Lana: Ash, I'm sure you can become a Pokémon Master.
    Mallow: Mm-hm. I'll be cheering you on! We all will!
    Ash: Thanks, you guys!
    [At the docks, near a cruise ship, the Pokémon are saying their goodbyes to Lillie and her family's Pokémon. Meanwhile, Professor Burnet is hugging Lusamine who is dressed in blue]
    Professor Burnet: Take care, Lusamine. [She and Lusamine step back and reveal Gladion and Lillie who are also wearing smart clothes to wear on their journey of searching for their father, Mohn]
    Lillie: I guess... we'll be off!
    [The camera cuts to Ash and his friends who have come with them to the docks]
    Sophocles: I'll have a souvenir from Mossdeep City waiting for you when you get back, Lillie!
    Lillie: That's something to look forward to.
    Mallow: I hope you find your father really soon!
    Lillie: Thank you, Mallow!
    Kiawe: If you guys need anything from us, please let us know.
    Lillie: You can be sure of it!
    Lana: Promise you'll write!
    Lillie: Promise, Lana!
    Ash: See you later. Take care.
    Lillie: Right. Ash, I...
    Gladion: Ash?
    Ash: Huh?
    Gladion: [approaches Ash] The world seems big, but it's not. So when we meet again...
    Ash: What else? We'll have a battle! [Shakes hands with Gladion]
    [Then, the ship's horn blares]
    Rotom Dex: This calls for a photo, so gather round, everyone! [Everyone stands or sits in front of the cruise ship that Lillie and her mother and brother will be boarding] Now everybody say, "Silvally!" [Takes the photograph]
    [Soon, the cruise ship leaves the dock, and Lillie, Gladion and their mother Lusamine are among the passengers. They see everyone on the dock waving goodbye, including Ash, Lana, Sophocles, Professor Kukui, Professor Burnet, Faba and Hobbes. Then, after several flashbacks, Lillie runs to the stern of the ship to give Ash a proper farewell]
    Lillie: Ash, can you hear me?! You know what? I'm really happy I got to meet you! You helped me out so much! After meeting you, I was finally able to become friends with Pokémon!
    Snowy: Snowy!
    Magearna: Magearna!
    Lillie: THANK YOU! [both Snowy and Megearna also bid farewell to Ash]
    Ash: Lillie... I'm glad I got to meet you, and thank you, too!
