Pokémon (1997–…): Season 21, Episode 41 - The Long Vault Home - full transcript

Ash and his friends compete in jumping the highest.

[narrator] As another beautiful day
takes shape,

our Pokémon School heroes are out
in the yard having gym class.

-[Kukui] Mallow?
-Right!

-[Mallow grunts]
-Tsareena!

[grunts]

-Perfect!
-Which makes for a perfect score!

-Mallow, you’re so cool!
-Excellent!

-[laughs]
-Great example for everyone.

-Tsareena!
-Thanks a lot, Tsareena!

-Next up, Lillie!
-All right! I studied this thoroughly.

If I use the momentum from running to jump
on the springboard,



I should be successful! And here I go!

-You can do it!
-[Kukui blows whistles]

Vul!

[grunts and squeals]

[gasps] That wasn’t my best effort.

You’ll do better next time.
Next up, Sophocles!

[groans]
Vaulting is not one of my specialties.

[whistle blows]

-You can do it if you try!
-Mm-hm.

[Sophocles sighs]

-[Togedemaru squeals]
-[Sophocles yells]

[grunts] Oh. Huh?

-I did it.
-Wonderful job!

All right.



Aw, thank you! Togedemaru, you, too.

-Togede!
-Up next, Ash!

All right!
Now, Rotom, raise it up by two stacks!

-And then there were eight!
-Here we go with full power now!

[all cheering]

[yells]

[groans]

-Pikachu.
-Poipole!

-You okay?
-I’m fine. Fine. [groans]

I think you should probably be a bit more
careful the next time. Next up, Kiawe!

Who needs an eight stack?
I’m aiming higher!

And then there were ten!

-Wow, that’s quite a height!
-You can do it!

[Kiawe] It’ll be like jumping
over Wela Volcano!

[roars]

-[all gasp]
-Amazing!

You just saw my fiery Wela spirit
in action!

-[Ash] Huh?
-Lana cleared a 12 stack!

-[Mallow] Whoa!
-I could jump 15!

She jumped far higher than I ever have!

Professor, I want to do a 20 stack!

-I’ll do a 30 stack!
-[Kukui] Now, now.

-We don’t have that many stacks.
-But we’ll have them next time.

So let’s just practice perfecting
our jumps today, all right?

[all] All right!

♪ Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele
Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini ♪

♪ We've been preparing, sharing
Training, studying A to Z ♪

♪ Bonding, battling, laughing
Getting crazy, you and me ♪

♪ 'Cause it's coming soon ♪

♪ We will all meet our destiny
Under the Alolan moon ♪

♪ Pokémon! ♪

[laughs]
So that’s why you need a 30-stack vault?

If they really want to try it,
then I’ve really got to be ready for it.

I know I’ll clear it for sure!

The probability of Ash clearing it,
calculating... [bleeps]

It’s .001%!

-What?
-[laughter]

-Why is it so low?
-[Rotom] My calculations are flawless!

-Practice the lower levels and--
-Pika!

Poipole! Poipole!

-Huh? Cut it out! What are you doing?
-Poipole!

Ah! Sorry! I’ll erase it right away!

Huh?

Hey! Who are you again?

Oh! I remember you! You’re Ash Royal!

-You’re the guy called Mr. Greedy Creep!
-I am not Mr. Greedy Creep!

I’m Viren, thank you,
president of the luxury, high-end,

-highly-respected Rainbow Happy Resorts!
-So what are you doing here?

What I do on my property
is no one’s business.

I’m building Viren Tower
and I'm building it right on this spot!

-Viren Tower?
-Take a look! The final concept drawing!

It’s going to have exclusive boutiques,
high-end restaurants, and a luxury hotel!

It’s the luxury Viren Tower
and, to top it all off,

there will be a super-shiny Viren statue!

This will be a place that has nothing
for little kids.

What are you doing?

-Looks just like him.
-Poipole.

-That doesn’t look like me!
-[Burnet] Hey, Ash! Let’s go!

-[Ash] Wait for me!
-Poipole.

And don't you ever come back!

[snores]

Huh? Stop goofing off
and get back to work!

My Viren statue’s arriving tomorrow!

[all] Anything you say, Viren, sir!

-[Mallow] What is that?
-[Ash] Awesome, that’s what!

Just what you’d expect from the professor,

a vault that far exceeds anything
we could ever imagine!

Is it jumpable?

-I might have to sit this one out.
-Me, too.

Not me. I want to go first!

[yells and grunts]

[groans]

Are you feeling all right, Ash?

-[Ash] Yeah. I guess so.
-I’m up next!

[roars] I’m going to clear it
the first time!

Wela Volcano!

-Look at that!
-He’s so close!

Piece of cake!

Argh!

-[Ash] Did he make it?
-[Kiawe screams]

[Ash] Huh? Kiawe!

-What happened?
-So many eyes and all staring at me.

-[wails] Stop staring! Stop staring!
-Pull yourself together.

-Tsareena?
-[Kiawe] Stop staring!

-Tsareena!
-[screams]

-Tsareena!
-[groans]

I think that’s a bit too much.

-[gasps]
-[Lana] But he’s back.

What happened to you, Kiawe?

This gigantic vault stack.
Could it possibly be?

[rings]

Everybody! Ultra Guardians,
it’s an emergency deployment!

Emergency deployment?

Clefable!

Alola, we need the Ultra Guardians.

-A new Ultra Beast has appeared.
-What kind of Pokémon is it this time?

Sending you current information.

-Rotom Dex.
-Ultroger, Professor!

Downloading data.
Downloading data. [bleeps]

Stakataka. The Rampart Pokémon.
A Rock and Steel type.

Numerous life-forms have apparently
gathered to create a stone wall

-that remains motionless.
-Whoa! So that means...

This is an Ultra Beast?

Since it doesn’t move,
it might be a docile Pokémon.

-What do we do with it?
-I know! Let’s ultra-catch it!

[Rotom] It dodged it!

I’ll handle this!

Like the great mountain of Akala.

Inferno Overdrive Ball! [pants]

Oh, no!

-[grunts]
-[all gasp]

Scyther!

It dodges things with ease.

Maybe it would be better if we tired
it out by battling it for a while.

-Great idea! So let’s all attack!
-[all] Mm-hm.

Pikachu, use Electroweb!

Pikachu!

[Ash] All right! Go!

Right! Snowy, use Powder Snow!

Vulpix!

Togedemaru, Zing Zap, go!

Toge!

Popplio, use Bubble Beam!

Pop! Popplio-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!

-Tsareena, use Trop Kick now!
-Tsareena!

-Marowak, use Bonemerang!
-Marowak!

[Ash] Our attacks aren't doing a thing!

This is tougher than we thought.

Then I’ve got a plan
that we should think about.

-It’s Operation Surround and Ultra Catch!
-Awesome name!

-Now, that's a plan!
-This time for sure!

-Okay!
-Let's get on with it!

[all] One, two!

[all grunt and gasp]

[all groan]

[Rotom] It dodged so easily!

[Lillie] I’m sorry.

-I’m not done yet!
-Me, neither!

[Ash and Kiawe grunt and pant]

[Ash and Kiawe pant and groan]

-It’s no use.
-But why can’t we hit it?

[Lillie] I’m sorry, Mother.

-We tried a number of different of ways.
-I see. It’s docile for now,

so all we can really do is keep an eye on
it for the time being.

We’ll be thinking of a plan as well,
so let’s pick it up tomorrow.

-Right.
-Excellent.

We can always try again tomorrow.

[all] Okay!

[all] Who’s that Pokémon?

[all] It’s Stakataka!

[Stakataka] Stakataka!

[workman 1] Okay! Okay! Bring it in!
That’s it.

[Viren] Be careful! You’re going to be
in big trouble if that breaks!

-[workman 2] Right!
-I got to say,

you guys know how to impress me.

Nice of you to get the pedestal ready
all on your own.

-I’ll give you a bonus soon.
-Thank you very much!

I thought we’d do this
after Viren Tower was finished,

but we can put it on display first.

Did you okay the pedestal?

-Not me. Was it you?
-Wasn’t me.

[all] Huh?

Instead of throwing them one at a time,
we should've thrown a bunch!

We could’ve hit it for sure that way!

-How would you throw them all?
-I figure I’ll just hold them like this.

-Hey, Ash! Emergency!
-Huh?

-[Ash] Stakataka is gone!
-It was gone when I got to school.

Wonder if it escaped
through an Ultra Wormhole.

If that’s the case, that’s good.

-But something is bothering me.
[Ash] What?

[Poipole gibbers]

-What’s that?
-Maybe it might be a footprint.

A footprint?

-I don’t remember it having legs.
-It didn’t.

[Kiawe] Then what are they?

Everyone!
An Ultra Aura has been detected in town!

[all] Huh?

Exeggutor!

Stop right here!

-This is where it was detected!
-[Ash] But this is... Viren Tower!

Did you say Viren?

-So, Stakataka is inside?
-Let’s find out!

[all] Mm-hm.

-[workman 1] Okay, okay, okay.
-[Viren] Be careful!

-Now bring it down ever so gently.
-Hey, who’s that?

-No trespassing!
-[Ash] We’re the Ultra Guardians!

Huh? Hey, you’re that brat from yesterday!
I told you to stay away! Shoo, shoo!

Now, listen up, Viren!
There’s an Ultra Beast in here!

Arrogant brat, aren’t you?

Go play with your baby toys anywhere else
but here!

What do we do? We know
the Ultra Aura was detected right here.

-Poipole!
-Pika!

What’s up, Poipole?

-[Ash] Wait. Maybe...
-[Rotom] Suspicious.

What are you doing? That’s the pedestal
for my high-class Viren statue!

-Pedestal?
-That’s right! It’s almost complete.

-Hurry up and plant it!
-Yes, sir! Okay. Okay. That’s it! Good.

Feast your eyes, kiddies!

This is my high-end,
solid gold Viren statue!

Pika.

-You’re kidding.
-Solid yuck.

-Doesn’t look right.
-I’m thinking the sculptor missed.

[laughs] Great, huh?
Bet you want to take a picture of it.

All right, go ahead.
I’m in a generous mood!

[Ash gasps]

[workmen scream]

-I knew it!
-It’s Stakataka!

It’s what? What’s going on?

Stakataka!

[gasps] Stakataka just stood up!

Hey! Hey, stop it right now!

You’re going to knock over
my Viren statue!

-[Kiawe] Look out!
-[all gasp]

-Are you okay?
-I’ve been better. But what is that thing?

-[Kiawe] We told you! It’s an Ultra Beast!
-Ultra what?

Why is it going berserk like that?

-I don’t have a clue!
-[all] Huh?

-[Ash] Lusamine!
-Hello, Ultra Guardians!

New facts about Stakataka
have been revealed!

Stakataka detests having anything
on top of it!

It will try to knock it away at all costs!

[Kiawe] Then we need to get
the Viren statue off it.

-What? No, you can’t!
-Marowak!

-Marowak!
-Use Bonemerang, Marowak!

-Aim for the gold Viren statue!
-Marowak!

No! Don’t hurt my masterpiece! [pants]

What do you know? Looks like we missed.
Marowak, return!

[groans]

-Buddy, let’s do it!
-Pikachu!

-[Ash yells]
-Pik!

-[grunts and pants]
-Pika!

-[Lillie] Ash!
-Togedemaru!

[Lillie] Look out!

[frightened groan and yell]

Thanks a lot, Sophocles and Togedemaru.

-Maru! Maru!
-Glad to help!

If you try to climb its leg,
you’ll get thrown right off.

Then how about jumping on top?

-Yeah, but how?
-Uh... [groans]

-I know! By vaulting!
-Vaulting?

Turtonator!

Turtonator!

-Turto!
-There you go.

-We’ll just use that as the springboard!
-So that’s what you mean!

-[Kiawe] Okay, this is it.
-Right! Okay, Pikachu, hang on tight!

-Pika!
-[Kiawe] Go!

[yells]

[pants]

-[screams]
-Pika!

[groans]

-Yes! They reached it!
-All’s well that ends well.

[laughs and grunts]

-Pi. Pi? Pi!
-[grunts]

It’s glued on tight! Pikachu, Iron Tail!

And aim for this thing’s foot!

Pikachu! Pika! Pika!

All right!

[all gasp]

-All right, you did it!
-Pika!

-[yells]
-Pika!

[Ash] Why is it still so mad? Uh!

-Pika!
-It’s because you’re on top of it!

But if they fall from there,
they could get hurt!

[gasping and groaning]

[grunts and growls]

[Ash] Please! Calm down!

[yells]

[grunts and groans]

[Stakataka] Staka...

[Mallow] It stopped.

[gasps and yells]

[Viren] The eyes!

So many eyes staring me down!

Please forgive me!

Guess you listened to me after all,
didn’t you, Stakataka?

Know what I think?

I think it becomes peaceful with anyone
who can manage to ride it out.

-Makes sense.
-You know, it’s like an angry Stoutland.

I updated my Stakataka file!

Hey! Okay if I ultra-catch you?

I promise I’ll return you
to where you came from.

[Stakataka] Stakataka.

Let’s go, Beast Ball! [grunts]

I’ve got it!

I ultra-caught Stakataka!

Pika! Pi! Pika!

[all] All right!

[groans]

-[workman] Okay, okay.
-Huh? What are you doing?

-My beautiful statue!
-Looks just like you!

There’s no way that looks like me!

Forget Viren Tower!

I’m going to buy a Pokémon Base team
and build Viren Stadium instead!

[workmen] Okay!

If you please, Ash.
I’d like to send Stakataka home.

All right! Stakataka, come on out!

Get home safely!

[Stakataka] Stakataka. Staka...

[Kiawe] You really outdid yourself, Ash!

[Mallow] Plus, you can even vault
a 30 stack with a Turtonator jump!

A 40 stack! That’s for me!

-Pika!
-Wait, I can even vault a 50 stack!

Pikachu!

Let’s do it, Turtonator!

-Turto!
-[all] Huh!

-[Ash groans]
-Pika.

[all groan]

[all laugh]

[narrator] Our heroes have safely returned
Stakataka to its home world.

Another successful mission
by the Ultra Guardians,

as the journey continues!
