Here is the transcript of Becoming a Pokemon Trainer, Red Ranger Style!.
Narrator: During the events of the Power Rangers, Robert and his friends were able to defeat many villains and triumphed over evil. Now, he travels to the Kanto Region where Ash won the Masters Eight Tournament and battled Leon in the finals. While Goh had become a chaser of Project Mew and was able to see Mew again! Robbie’s new adventure begins as his new goal is to experience Pokémon, along with Alice, Austin and his friends, Team Robot. This is the story of their adventure-filled journey of Power Rangers and Pokémon: The Region Chronicles!
The episode begins at Cerise Park with Robbie and Ash having a Pokémon Battle.
Robbie Diaz: Sprigatito, use Magical Leaf!
Sprigatito: (Meowing)
Sprigatito leaps into the air and releases a shower of magical leaves, aiming straight at Pikachu.
Ash Ketchum: Pikachu, jump up and then use Quick Attack!
Pikachu: Pika!
Pikachu hops up high in the air, dodges the leaves, and charges forward with electrifying speed, preparing to strike Sprigatito with Quick Attack.
Robbie Diaz: Hey, Sprigatito. You doing okay?
Sprigatito looks back at Robbie, panting heavily. It seems a bit tired but gives Robbie a determined nod.
Sprigatito: (Meowing)
Robbie Diaz: That's good. (To Ash) Hey, Ash. That was great training. What do you say we take a break for a bit.
Ash grins and nods, understanding Sprigatito’s tiredness.
Ash Ketchum: Yeah, sounds good. Great work out there, Pikachu.
Pikachu: Pika Pika.
Robbie Diaz: Hey, Yoshi. How's the Pichu Egg holding up?
Yoshi: Everything's a-okay over here, Rob. Plus, it might be closer to hatching soon.
Robbie walks over to Yoshi, who cautiously holds and inspects the Pichu Egg.
Robbie Diaz: Really? Any signs of movement?
Yoshi: (Looking at it) Nothing yet so far.
Emerl: Just try to be patient, Robbie. All thing's must come to those who wait.
Robbie Diaz: I hear ya, E. I hope it hatches soon.
Serena: Ash, Robbie.
Ash and Robbie turn toward Serena, who joins the group with a smile.
Robbie Diaz: Hey there, Serena. Good morning.
Serena: Morning, guys. How's the training going?
Ash Ketchum: It went great, Rob's Sprigatito was evenly matched when we were battling.
Robbie Diaz: Yeah. Plus, we're also waiting for the Pichu Egg to hatch.
Serena's eyes light up with excitement, her hands clasped together.
Serena: Oh, that's so exciting! I can't wait to see the Pichu when it hatches!
Yoshi: Without a doubt.
Suddenly, the Pichu Egg started to glow.
Yoshi: Whoa! And our timing couldn't be more perfect, it's starting to hatch!
Robbie Diaz: Yes! (to everyone) Guys! Come here quick, it's hatching!
Everyone gathers around Yoshi, their eyes fixed on the glowing Pichu Egg. A small crack forms on the surface, and a moment later, a tiny, yellow spiky ear pokes through.
Pichu: Pichu?

Ash (V.O.): Becoming!
Goh (V.O.): A Pokemon Trainer!
Robbie Diaz (V.O.): Red Ranger Style!
After Pichu hatched from the egg, it looks up at Robbie and everyone else.
Pichu: (looks up to Robbie) Pichu?
Everyone was surprised to see Pichu.
Ash Ketchum: Whoa! It’s Pichu!
Goh: It just hatched in a matter of seconds to spare!
Yoshi: Sure did.
Then, Robbie smiles warmly at Pichu, who looks back at him with wide, curious eyes as he picked it up.
Robbie Diaz: Well, hey there, Pichu. Nice to meet you.
Upon doing so, Pichu smiles happily as it performs a Thundershock as it shocks Robbie.
Robbie Diaz: (blackened and coughs) Hehehe, glad to see that you're happy to see us.
Pichu: (feeling a bit dizzy, it shook its head) Pichu.
Alice Diaz: Dad, are you okay? Did Pichu’s Thundershock hurt you?
Robbie Diaz: Nah, it’s okay, Alice. It happens most of the time.
Ash chuckles as he watches the interaction between Robbie and Pichu.
Ash Ketchum: You know, seeing Pichu using Thundershock reminds me of when I first had Pikachu.
Then, a flashback begins to show when Ash brought Pikachu.
Pikachu: Pikachu.
Professor Oak: It's name is Pikachu.
Ash Ketchum: Oh, it's so cute, it's the best of all!
Professor Oak: You'll see.
Ash Ketchum: Oh, hi Pikachu.
Pikachu: Pika...
Pikachu uses thunderbolt on Ash as he screams in pain.
Professor Oak: It's also known as an Electric Mouse -- It's usually shy, but can sometimes have an electrifying personality.
Ash Ketchum: (blackened poofy hair) I see what you mean.
Professor Oak: Shocking, isn't it? Now take these --your Pokédex and Pokéballs.
Ash Ketchum: Thank... (gets shocked again) YOUUUUU!!!!!
Professor Oak: (gets shocked as well) YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!
The flashback ends from there.
Robbie Diaz: Really? Did that happen between you two?
Ash Ketchum: Yeah. At first, Pikachu wasn’t able to battle with me because it was a little stubborn and wouldn’t listen to me. But ever since a group of Spearows came barging in, Pikachu was there to save me and used thunderbolt to stop the Spearows. That’s when we started trusting each other more. Lucky for me, Pikachu came along at just the right time and the rest has been unforgettable.
Pikachu: Pika Pi!
Ash grins, clearly reminiscing about his journey with Pikachu. Robbie listens intently, appreciating the similarity between Ash and Pichu's journey.
Emerl: He’s not wrong, Rob. Plus, Ash has been traveling to many other places besides the Kanto region. There’s also Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola and Galar.
Robbie Diaz: Wow.. Sounds like you and Pikachu had a bit of a tough start, but it's amazing how it all worked out in the end.
Ash nods, reflecting on his journey.
Ash Ketchum: Me too, it definitely wasn't easy at first. But the bond Pikachu and I share, that's what makes everything worthwhile.
Pikachu: Pika!
Then, Robbie smiled and looked at Pichu.
Robbie Diaz: Pichu. Let's be great friends like Ash and Pikachu.
Pichu: (Nodding in agreement.) Pichu!
Pichu's eyes sparkle with excitement as it understands Robbie's words. It happily nuzzles against Robbie's hand, expressing its agreement to become great friends. Then, Fallon walks up to everyone.
Fallon: Hi, everybody. Am I late for something?
Goh: Nope, your just in time, Fallon. Look at this.
Fallon follows Goh's gaze towards Pichu, who is still nuzzling against Robbie's hand. Fallon's eyes widen with surprise and curiosity.
Fallon: Oh my gosh! Is that a Pichu?
Robbie Diaz: Yep, it just hatched minutes ago. Plus, it even has a spike ear on the right side.
Fallon crouches down and looks more closely at Pichu, who tilts its head and looks curiously at her. Then, she gets out her Rotom Phone and scans Pichu.
Fallon's Rotom Phone: Pichu, the Tiny Mouse Pokémon, an Electric-Type. Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
Fallon: That's super cool! Pichu with a spike ear, huh? I bet it's pretty strong.
Robbie Diaz: Well, hehe. I don't know about that. Although, with Ash's Pikachu, I'm certain that it'll be as strong in no time.
Ash Ketchum: Hey yeah, that's a great idea. (to Pikachu) How about it, buddy?
Pikachu: (Nodding) Pika Pi!
Serena: Uh... Robbie.. Is she a friend of yours?
Robbie Diaz: Oh yeah, that's right. (to Fallon) Fallon, I'd like you to meet Serena. Serena, this here is Fallon.
Serena smiles warmly at Fallon and waves.
Serena: Nice to meet you, Fallon.
Fallon: Nice to nice you too, Serena. Ash and Robbie told me much about you, for when you performed in the Pokémon Showcase.
Serena beams at the mention of her showcasing days.
Serena: (chuckling) Oh yeah, those were some really fun times. Helping Pokémon find their true beauty and doing the Performances was always a thrill.
Emerl: Yep, those were the good ol' days in Kalos.
Fallon: Kalos? I'm also from there too when I arrived here in Kanto.
Serena's eyes light up with surprise and excitement.
Serena: Really? That's wonderful! I'm from Vaniville Town back in Kalos. What about you?
Fallon: Well, when I was around 8, I used to lived in Lumiose City.
Then, another flashback begins to when Fallon's journey began.
Fallon (V.O.): During my childhood, I used to watch my sister's perform in Pokémon Contests.
The flashback shows Fallon, at the age of 8, watching her older sister perform in various Pokémon Contests. Fallon's eyes sparkle with excitement and admiration as she witnesses her sister's graceful performances and incredible bond with her Pokémon.
Fallon (V.O.): Celia was really good at what she does with her partner, Altaria. Plus, it does lots of neat trick while using Mega Evolution.
The flashback transitions to a performance by Fallon's sister, Celia, and her Altaria. The two of them move in perfect harmony, gliding across the stage and mesmerizing the audience with a mix of elegance and power. As they reach the climax of the performance, Altaria uses Mega Evolution, its wings expanding and shimmering with a majestic energy.
Fallon (V.O.): When I turned 10, I was old enough to become a trainer. So I went to see Professor Sycamore to receive my first Pokémon.
The flashback continues, showing 10-year-old Fallon meeting Professor Sycamore in the Lumiose City laboratory. Professor Sycamore smiles as he gives her a warm welcome.
Professor Sycamore (V.O.): Welcome to the lab, I take it your a new trainer?
Fallon nods enthusiastically, unable to contain her excitement.
Fallon (V.O.): Yes, Professor. I'm here to receive my first Pokémon.
Professor Sycamore (V.O.): Wonderful. Alright everybody, come on out.
Moments later, Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie appears.
Professor Sycamore (V.O.): These are the Kalos Pokemon new trainers may chose from. Fennekin, Chespin and Froakie. Which Pokemon will you choose as you're partner?
Fallon gazes at the three starter Pokémon in awe. She hesitates for a moment, torn between Fennekin, Chespin, and Froakie. Each one holds its own charm and potential, making the decision incredibly tough.
Professor Sycamore (V.O.): Before you make your own decision. This is your Pokedex, here.
Professor Sycamore gives Fallon a Pokedex, excitement and nervousness mixing together.
Fallon takes the Pokedex, excitement and nervousness mixing together.
Fallon (V.O.): Thank you, Professor.
Professor Sycamore (V.O.): If you point you're Pokedex towards a Pokemon, it will search for it automatically. Why not give it a try?
Fallon (V.O.): Okay.
Fallon walks to a Fennekin as her Pokedex analyzes it, and it starts providing details about the Pokémon's statistics, move set, and potential. As she reads the information, she can't help but admire the Fennekin's grace and fiery nature.
Fallon's Pokedex: Fennekin, the Fox Pokemon. Fennekin expels hot air that can reach nearly 400 degrees. It likes to snack on twigs.
Fallon (V.O.): Amazing! And your next.
Fallon faces Chespin, aims her Pokedex at it, and scans it. Just like the Fennekin, the Pokedex instantly provides information about Chespin's characteristics and abilities.
Fallon's Pokedex: Chespin, the Spiny Nut Pokemon. Chespin can flex the soft spikes on its head, making them so stiff and sharp that it can even pierce through stone.
Fallon (V.O.): I get it. (Goes to Froakie) And finally.
Fallon turns her attention to Froakie, who stands there with a calm yet determined expression. She points the Pokedex at Froakie, activating the scanning process once again.
Fallon's Pokedex: Froakie, the Bubble Frog Pokemon. From its chest and back, Froakie creates bubbles called Frubbles, which act as a cushion and soften the blow of an opponent's attack.
Fallon reads through the details provided by the Pokedex, impressed by Froakie's unique abilities and adaptability. Each of the three starter Pokémon holds its own set of strengths and skills. The decision will undoubtedly be a difficult one.
Fallon (V.O.): Wow! This will come in handy.
Professor Sycamore (V.O.): Like it?
Fallon (V.O.): Yes.
Professor Sycamore (V.O.): Well then, go ahead and pick your partner.
Fallon gazes at each of the three starter Pokémon again, her mind conflicted. She knows that her choice will shape her entire journey as a trainer. After a few moments of deep thought, she finally makes her decision.
Fallon (V.O.): I think I know who to choose. I choose... (pointing out towards Fennekin.) Fennekin.
Professor Sycamore smiles, happy with Fallon's choice.
Professor Sycamore: Excellent choice. Your Fennekin is a strong and loyal partner.
The Fennekin looks up at Fallon with a determined expression, clearly sensing the connection between them.
Fallon (V.O.): Fennekin, let's be the best of partners.
Fennekin responds with an enthusiastic smile.
Fennekin: Fen!
Then, it started nuzzling against Fallon's hand. It seems eager and ready to embark on their journey together.
The flashback ends from there.
Fallon: And ever since, me and Fennekin have been together when I traveled here by Professor Cerise.
Robbie and everyone else smiled at Fallon's story, appreciating the significance of her journey and the bond she shares with Fennekin.
Robbie Diaz: That's incredible. It must have been quite an adventure traveling all the way from Kalos.
Serena: I agree. When I started my journey, my Fennekin evolved from Braixen all the way to Delphox.
Fallon is amazed by the transformation of Serena's Fennekin.
Fallon: Really? That's impressive. Fennekin evolving into Braixen and then Delphox must have been an amazing sight to witness.
Alice Diaz: So, Fallon. About your Fennekin, may we see it?
Fallon: Sure. (bringing out it's Pokeball) Fennekin, come on out.
Fallon brings out Fennekin from its Pokeball. The Fennekin appears in front of everyone, looking vibrant and full of energy.
Fennekin: Fennekin.
Austin Diaz: Nice, that Fennekin of yours looks pretty cool.
Robbie Diaz: Yeah.
Robbie got out his Rotom Phone and scans Fennekin.
Robbie's Rotom Phone: Fennekin, the Fox Pokemon. A Fire-type. As it walks, it munches on a twig in place of a snack. It intimidates opponents by puffing hot air out of its ears.
Pichu is particularly intrigued by the hot air feature, as it curiously approaches Fennekin.
Pichu: (saying hello.) Pichu Pichu.
Fennekin looks down at Pichu, its fiery nature somewhat calming in the presence of the electric mouse.
Fennekin: (In a soft tone.) Fennekin.
Donkey Kong: Aww, looks as if Pichu already making friends.
Ash chuckles at Donkey Kong's comment, watching as Pichu interacts with Fennekin.
Ash Ketchum: Pichu definitely seems to be a sociable little one, not surprised it's befriending other Pokémon quickly.
Robbie Diaz: True enough. (getting out a Pokeball.) Say, Pichu. I really would like to have you on my team. I'm certain you, Charmander and Sprigatito will get along really great. What do ya say?
Pichu looks up at the Pokeball, its eyes gleaming with excitement. It seems to be considering the offer. Then, it lets out a cheerful affirmation.
Pichu: (nodding) Pichu!
Robbie Diaz: Awesome. (tossing the Pokeball up in the air.)
The Pokeball flies through the air and lands in Robbie's hand. With a quick push of the center button, Pichu is enclosed within the sphere and is now officially a part of Robbie's team.
Robbie's Rotom Phone: Pichu has been registered to your Pokedex.
Robbie Diaz: Nice! This is amazing, cause I just caught a Pichu!
The group around Robbie, including Ash, Serena, Fallon, and the others, congratulate him on his new capture. Pichu, now in its Pokeball, seems rather comfortable and content inside.
Ash Ketchum: Good job catching Pichu, Robbie! I bet training Pichu with Charmander and Sprigatito will be quite an experience.
Robbie Diaz: Sure will, Ash. (tossing the Pokeball out) Come on out, Pichu!
Robbie releases Pichu from its Pokeball, and the little electric mouse materializes in front of everyone once more. It looks up at Robbie, full of excitement and ready for action.
Pichu: Pichu!
Ash grins as he observes Pichu's eagerness.
Ash Ketchum: It definitely looks like Pichu has a lot of energy. Keep training hard, and it'll grow stronger and stronger.
Serena: That's right. With a little hard work, I'm sure that you be entering the Star Championship Tournament for sure.
Robbie Diaz: Thanks, Serena.
Then, Hunter alongside his Servine came towards them.
Hunter: Hello there, everyone. I've been looking for ya.
Goh: Oh, Hunter.
Robbie Diaz: How's it going?
Hunter greets the group, his Servine by his side.
Hunter: I'm doing well. I just finished another session with Servine. We've been working on its Leaf Blade move.
Servine: Servine.
Servine appears to be content and satisfied, seeming proud of its progress with the Leaf Blade move.
Serena: Wow, I've never seen that Pokemon before.
Ash Ketchum: I do, it's a Servine. It's Snivy's second evolved form.
Serena: Snivy?
Gmerl: That's right, Serena. Snivy, alongside Tepig and Oshawott are Pokémon that many trainers can choose from in the Unova Region.
Serena: Hmm...
Serena got out her Rotom Phone and scans Servine.
Serena's Rotom Phone: Servine, the Grass Snake Pokémon. A Grass-type and the evolved form of Snivy. It runs low to the ground, weaving through the grass, then mercilessly pummels its target by whipping them with its vines.
Goh leans in closer, also observing Servine.
Goh: That's Servine for ya. It may be small, but it's got some serious power and speed with those vines.
Hunter: That it does, Goh. (To Robbie.) By the way, Robbie. If your not busy, Professor Cerise wants to speak with us at the lab.
Robbie looks slightly curious and puzzled by the request.
Robbie Diaz: Oh, really? What does Professor Cerise want to talk about?
Hunter: Y'all find out soon enough, let's get going.
Robbie nods, curious about the purpose of the meeting.
Robbie Diaz: Alright. Lead the way, Hunter.
Everyone nods in agreement, understanding the need to hear what Professor Cerise has to say. They follow Hunter and Servine as they head towards the lab.
Meanwhile at the lab, Professor Cerise along with Chrysa and Ren were investigating many Pokémon from the Paldea Region.
Hunter: Professor Cerise.
Professor Cerise looks behind, noticing Hunter and the group that has gathered behind him.
Professor Cerise: Ah, Hunter. You're here. And you brought everyone else too, excellent.
Robbie Diaz: You wanted to see us, Professor?
Professor Cerise nods, acknowledging Robbie's question.
Professor Cerise: Yes, I have an important matter to discuss with all of you. Please, look at the screen.
As the images of many Pokémon appeared, everyone was impressed.
Professor Cerise: As you can see, some Pokémon from many different regions have started to appear here in Kanto. Take a look at this images of Clauncher and Fletchling for example.
Professor Cerise points to the images of Clauncher and Fletchling on the screen. The group takes a close look at the two Pokémon, noting their distinctive characteristics.
Professor Cerise: Both Clauncher and Fletchling came from the Kalos region. From what we have learned is that many Pokémon that don't usually appear in Kanto have begun to manifest here, which is quite intriguing.
Ash Ketchum: Oh yeah, that reminds me. When Pikachu and I were traveling together, we saw a Clauncher at a seashore when we were fishing.
Emerl: Hey, he's right. It was also when Misty showed up and caught it after they battled with her Politoed and Ash's Corphish as well.
Ash's revelation sparks interest among the group. They recall the encounter with the Clauncher at the seashore and Misty's capture of it.
Professor Cerise: Ah, I see. So you've encountered a Clauncher before, Ash. And it just appeared there?
Ash Ketchum: Yep. (scratching his face with his finger.) Although, Misty ended up winning and caught Clauncher.
Robbie Diaz: Clauncher, huh?
Robbie got out his Rotom Phone and scans the image of Clauncher.
Robbie's Rotom Phone: Clauncher, the Water Gun Pokémon. A Water-type. Through controlled explosions of internal gas, it can expel water like a pistol shot. At close distances, it can shatter rock.
Robbie Diaz: Hmm.. Now for this one.
Robbie then scans the image of Fletchling.
Robbie's Rotom Phone: Fletchling, the Tiny Robin Pokémon. A Normal and Flying-type. Its melodious cries are actually warnings. Fletchling will mercilessly peck at anything that enters its territory.
Robbie Diaz: Wow.
Professor Cerise: Interesting, isn't it? As you've seen and read, Clauncher and Fletchling are not native to Kanto. Their sudden appearance here has caught our attention.
Goh: Sure is.
Suddenly, he made a decision on his mind.
Robbie Diaz: Alright then. I'm definitely going to catch Fletchling!
The group turns to Robbie, surprised by his sudden declaration to catch Fletchling. Ash, in particular, looks amused.
Ash Ketchum: Catch Fletchling, huh?
Robbie Diaz: Yeah, why not? You once had a Fletchling before in the Kalos Region, it gained more and more strength that caused it to evolve into Fletchinder all the way to Talonflame. So that's what I'm going for.
Pichu: Pichu!
Ash Ketchum: That's the spirit, Robbie! In that case, I'm gonna catch Clauncher.
Serena chuckles, enjoying the enthusiasm displayed by Robbie and Ash. Professor Cerise nods, appreciating the determination to catch Fletchling and Clauncher.
Professor Cerise: Well, it appears that you two are motivated and eager to catch these two Pokémon. I wish you both the best of luck.
Robbie and Ash: Thanks a lot, Professor!
Professor Cerise smiles, encouraged by their enthusiasm.
Professor Cerise: Now remember, Pokémon training requires patience, dedication, and hard work. With determination and perseverance, I'm sure you'll both do well.
Robbie and Ash: Right!
Alice Diaz: "Looking around" Say, Professor. Where are Richter, Demetra and Min-Ling?
Professor Cerise: I've send them to do a view errands to gather more information about Pidgey and Pidgeotto sightings that we've received reports on. They're out and about collecting data.
Alice Diaz: Oh, I see.
Gmerl: Well, I'm sure that they'll be able to catch up with us soon enough.
Emerl: G's right. In the meantime, why don't we all split up. Gmerl, Yoshi, DK, Goh and I will go with Ash to the seashore and find Clauncher. While Robbie, Austin and Hunter head out to the forest area and find Fletchling.
Robbie Diaz: Sounds like a plan. "To Alice." Hey, Alice. Why don't you, Chole, Fallon and your mother go find some new Pokémon to catch.
Alice agrees to the plan, excited to go on her own Pokémon-catching adventure.
Alice Diaz: Sure, Dad.
Alice, Chole, Fallon, and Serena nod in agreement, excited to embark on their own miniature journey.
Chole: Great! Let's go and find some Pokémon out there!
Fallon: Yeah!
Professor Cerise chimes in again, reminding the group.
Professor Cerise: Remember, be careful and stay safe. Pokémon training can be unpredictable at times, so watch out for any unexpected encounters.
Robbie Diaz: Right, we'll be back soon. "To everyone." Alright gang, let's go!
Everyone: Yeah!
As everyone splits up and heads in different directions, Professor Cerise watches them move away from the lab, hopeful for their successful and safe journeys ahead.
At a nearby forest, Robbie, Austin and Hunter looked around to see if they can find Fletchling.
Robbie Diaz: Okay. According to my Rotom Phone, Fletchling live in both rural and urban areas. So we should look for it among these trees.
Austin Diaz: Great idea, pop. But you sure that we'll be able to find it way out here?
Hunter: Course we will, mate. We just have to put our heads together and figure out a strategy when Robbie catches it.
Robbie grins at the support from Austin and Hunter.
Robbie Diaz: That's a good point, Hunter. With our combined knowledge and strategy, we'll definitely find Fletchling in this forest. Let's keep moving and stay focused on the task at hand.
The trio moves deeper into the forest, determined to spot Fletchling among the trees. They stay vigilant and alert, scanning their surroundings for any signs of the small bird Pokémon. The forest is filled with the rustling of leaves and the occasional sounds of other wildlife, but there's no sign of Fletchling just yet.
Robbie Diaz: Any sign of Fletchling?
Austin Diaz: Not sure far, pop.
Suddenly, Servine hear a series of cheerful chirps coming from the distance. The sound seems to grow closer.
Servine: Ser?
Hunter: Hmm? What's wrong, Servine?
Servine seems to be listening intently to the distant cheeps and trills, trying to identify the source of the noise. The sound continues to grow closer, growing louder and more distinct as it approaches.
Servine: Servine!
Austin Diaz: What's Servine doing?
Hunter: Don't know, but I think it might've heard the sound of Fletchling.
Robbie also takes notice of the cheerful chirps and turns to his friends.
Robbie Diaz: I hear it too. It sounds like it's coming from ahead, come on!
Robbie and the others follow the sound of the cheerful chirps through the forest. As they get closer, they can make out the source of the noise more clearly. Servine seems to be leading the way, as if its instincts are guiding them towards Fletchling.
Servine: (pointing up) Servine!
Hunter: Aha, there they are.
Everyone looks up to where Servine is pointing and sure enough, there they are, Fletchling. The cheerful flock of Fletchling are perched on a low-hanging tree branch, chirping and chatting amongst themselves.
Then, there was a little cut segment of “Who’s that Pokémon”.
Ash Ketchum: Who’s that Pokémon?
It shows a shape of a silhouette Pokémon that resembles a wing.
Robbie Diaz: It's Fletchling!
Then, the silhouette Pokémon was revealed to be Fletchling.
Pikachu: Pika?
Fletchling: Fletchling!
Pikachu: Pika! Pika!
Back to the episode, Robbie and the others look up at the group of Fletchling perched on the tree branch, admiring their vibrant and cheerful personalities.
Austin Diaz: Awesome, we found them!
Robbie Diaz: Wow. Look at them, they're must be a lot of them flying around.
The group takes a moment to observe the group of Fletchling in the tree. There's a sense of wonder and excitement in their eyes as they watch the joyful and carefree nature of the small Pokémon. Robbie gazes at the Fletchling, his enthusiasm growing as he imagines catching one for himself.
Robbie Diaz: Hmmm... Say, Hunter, which one of the Fletchling's should I catch?
Hunter takes a moment to look the group of Fletchling, studying their movements and behavior. After a brief pause, he speaks up.
Hunter: Well, it's hard to tell just by looking, mate. They all seem pretty curious and energetic. But if you want to make a choice, maybe try to go for the one that's been watching us the most. It seems like it might be a bit intrigued by our presence.
Robbie Diaz: Oh yeah, that's a good idea. (To Pichu) Say, Pichu. Why don't you watch us battle and take the time to learn how it works, okay?
Pichu: (nodding) Pichu.
Robbie Diaz: Great. (getting out to Pokéballs.) Charmander and Sprigatito, it's battle time!
Robbie releases his Pokéballs, bringing out Charmander and Sprigatito. They are now prepared to battle alongside their Trainer.
Charmander: Charmander!
Sprigatito: (Meowing)
Robbie Diaz: Listen, you two. I going to need your help to catch a Fletchling, I'm counting on you both to give Pichu some experience while battling.
Charmander and Sprigatito nod their heads in understanding, ready to follow Robbie's command and provide Pichu with valuable battling experience.
Robbie Diaz: Hey, Fletchling!
Fletchling: Fletch? (looking at him.) Fletchling?
Robbie Diaz: I want to challenge you to a Pokémon battle, what do you say?
The Fletchling in the trees look down at Robbie, seemingly intrigued by his proposal for a battle. One of the Fletchling steps forward, cocking its head slightly as if considering the challenge. It lets out a chirp, signifying its acceptance to the battle.
Fletchling: (nodding) Fletch!
Robbie Diaz: Alright, let's do this.
Charmander: Char!
Sprigatito: (Meowing)
Robbie Diaz: Sprigatito, use Magical Leaf! And Charmander, use Scratch!
Sprigatito leaps into action, launching a barrage of Magical Leaves toward Fletchling. Meanwhile, Charmander charges in and strikes with a Scratch attack, aiming to weaken Fletchling. Then, it countered them with Razor Wind.
Hunter: Robbie, watch out for Razor Wind! Flying-type moves are super effective against Grass-types!
Robbie Diaz: Thanks for the heads up, Hunter. (To Sprigatito) Sprigatito, dodge it!
Sprigatito swiftly dodges the Razor Wind attack, narrowly avoiding the Flying-type move. Robbie breathes a sigh of relief, grateful for Hunter's timely warning.
Robbie Diaz: Phew, that was close. (To Sprigatito) Sprigatito, come on back.
Sprigatito retreats back to Robbie's side, having successfully dodged the powerful attack. Robbie nods, impressed by Sprigatito's quick reflexes and speed.
Robbie Diaz: You did great out there, watch Pichu for me, okay?
Sprigatito: (Meowing)
Sprigatito meows in acknowledgment, nodding its head. It stands by Pichu's side, watching the ongoing battle intently.
Robbie Diaz: Guess it's time for Plan B. Sandshrew, come out!
Robbie throws a Pokéball, releasing his Sandshrew onto the field. It stands ready, awaiting instructions from its Trainer.
Sandshrew: Sandshrew!
Austin Diaz: Whoa, looks like pop's is gonna use Sandshrew.
Hunter: That's a good switch. Since Sandshrew is a Ground-type, it can use Rock-type moves, which is super effective against Flying-types.
Robbie Diaz: Okay, Sandshrew. First, use Rapid Spin!
Sandshrew: Hrew!
Sandshrew quickly spins around in a rapid motion, gaining momentum and using its sturdy body as a powerful attack. It charges at Fletchling, aiming to strike with its spinning body.
Robbie Diaz: Great, now use Rollout!
Sandshrew continues its spin, transforming its momentum into a powerful Rollout attack. It charges towards Fletchling with increasing speed and force, preparing to deliver a devastating blow as Sandshrew lands on the ground.
Robbie Diaz: Alright, it's time! Go, Poke Ball!
Then, Robbie throws a Pokéball with precision. The ball closes in on Fletchling, catching it within. The ball shakes before beeping, signaling a successful catch.
Robbie's Rotom Phone: Fletchling has been registered to your Pokedex.
Robbie Diaz: Alright! Mission complete, cause I just caught a Fletchling!
Pichu: Pichu!
Charmander: Charmander!
Sprigatito: (Meowing with excitement)
Sandshrew: Sandshrew!
Austin and Hunter celebrates his successful catch, excitement and joy written all over their faces. Robbie grins, holding up the Pokéball triumphantly, proud of his accomplishment.
Hunter: Excellent work, mate. That was a pretty good catch.
Austin Diaz: Yeah, pop. Your teams really coming together rather well.
Robbie Diaz: Thanks, Austin. You too, Hunter. (tossing the Pokéball) Come on out, Fletchling.
Robbie releases Fletchling from its Pokéball, and the small Flying-type Pokémon appears before them, looking curiously at Robbie and the others.
Robbie Diaz: Fletchling, thanks for the battle. I'm glad that your part of the team.
Fletchling: Fletchling.
Fletchling responds happily, seeming pleased to be a part of Robbie's team. It flies around, chirping and showing signs of excitement.
Hunter: Well, why don't we report this back to Professor Cerise. I'm certain he'll be thrilled with the good news.
Robbie Diaz: Good idea, Hunter. (then, he started thinking.) I wonder if Ash and everyone else have caught any new Pokémon yet?
Meanwhile at the seashore during his last journey, Ash and Pikachu had found Clauncher and had already started their battle.
Goh: Go for it, Ash! Be sure to catch Clauncher!
Emerl: You got this!
Ash Ketchum: Alright, Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!
Pikachu: Pika! Pika... CHU!
Pikachu then jumps in the air and charges up its electric powers and unleashes a powerful Thunderbolt against Clauncher.
Clauncher: (unable to keep going) Clauncher...
Ash Ketchum: Now's my chance! Go, Pokéball!
With determination, Ash throws a Pokéball, attempting to catch it. The Pokéball closes in on Clauncher and shakes as it captures the Water-type Pokémon.
Ash's Rotom Phone: Clauncher has been registered to your Pokedex.
Ash Ketchum: Alright, I caught a Clauncher! Yeah!
Pikachu: Pi! Pikachu!
Pikachu jumps up, excitedly celebrating Ash's achievement. Both Ash and Pikachu wear looks of joy and excitement on their faces, proud of the successful capture.
Gmerl: Great work, Ash. Looks like you got a Clauncher of your own.
Yoshi: Yeah, we're really glad you have a new Water-type on your team.
Ash Ketchum: Thanks guys, I've been wanting to catch a Clauncher last time. But this time, it's good to have a new friend. (to Pikachu.) Am I right, Pikachu?
Pikachu: Pika Pika!
Pikachu responds enthusiastically, nodding and smiling at Ash's words. The two share a moment of excitement and pride, excited about the newest addition to their team.
Donkey Kong: So, what should we do now?
Ash pauses for a moment and starts to think.
Ash Ketchum: Well, since I just caught a Clauncher, I'm thinking it might be a good opportunity for us to do some training and help Clauncher become even stronger. What do you think, Pikachu?
Pikachu nods eagerly, ready to train and help Clauncher grow stronger.
Pikachu: Pika Pika!
Emerl: That's a good idea, Ash. Once we head back to Cerise Park, maybe we could set up a tag battle with you and Robbie.
Goh: Hey yeah, that could be great training to gain some new experiences when catching new Pokémon.
Ash Ketchum: Great, it's decided. Let's go.
However, just as they were about to head back, they heard an explosion from inside the forest. Ash and the others turn to look in the direction of the explosion, concerned and on high alert.
Ash Ketchum: What was that?
Goh: It sounded like it came from inside the forest.
Gmerl: Something tells me that it could be Cortex up to no good. Let's go!
Emerl: We should let Rob and the gang know about this once we check it out.
Ash Ketchum: Right, come on!
Ash, Pikachu and the others rush towards the source of the explosion, determined to investigate and find out what's going on.
Back with Robbie and the others, his Rotom Phone started ringing.
Robbie's Rotom Phone: You have a call from Ash. You have a call from Ash. You have a call from Ash.
Robbie Diaz: Huh?
Hunter: What's going on?
Robbie Diaz: Not really sure, Hunter. I'll see whose calling.
With Robbie's curiosity piqued, he answers the call from Ash, wondering what's going on.
Robbie Diaz: Hey, Ash. What's up?
Ash Ketchum: Robbie! Good to hear from you! Listen, we just heard this loud explosion coming from the forest. I’m thinking that Cortex could be up to something!
Robbie Diaz: Cortex? That doesn't sound good. (To Ash) Hang tight, Austin, Hunter and I'll catch up with you soon.
Robbie hangs up the call and turns to Austin and Hunter, eager to share what he just heard.
Hunter: Who was it?
Robbie Diaz: Ash just called and he heard an big explosion coming from the forest. He thinks Cortex might be up to something fishy. What do you say, you guys down to check it out?
Austin Diaz: Sounds good, pop. I'm in.
Hunter: No worries, mate. Let's make haste.
Robbie Diaz: Right.
With a sense of determination, Robbie and the others hurry off towards the forest, their curiosity and resolve driving them forward as they venture deeper into the unknown.
Meanwhile in the forest, many of the forest Pokémon were all hurt as a group of Voltorb and Electrode stood their ground.
Dr. Neo Cortex: (Laughs evilly) That's right, coward in fear for you shall be my slaves soon enough. (He soon gets out a NeoBall in position) Go, NeoBall!
Dr. Neo Cortex activates the NeoBall, releasing its power and causing it to glow with a sinister aura. He aims it at the weakened Pokémon, ready to capture them all under his control.
Ash Ketchum: Pikachu, use Iron Tail!
Pikachu leaps into action, charging towards the Voltorb and Electrode with its tail glowing white and hits the NeoBall with a powerful Iron Tail attack.
Dr. Neo Cortex: Owww!
The NeoBall takes a hit from Pikachu's Iron Tail attack and is knocked out of Cortex's hand. The Pokémon are startled by the attack and take the opportunity to flee, escaping Cortex's grasp.
Goh: Nice hit, Ash.
Ash Ketchum: Thanks, Goh. (To Pikachu) Great hit, buddy.
Pikachu: Pika Pika!
Emerl: Hold it right there, Cortex!
He stops in his tracks, his smirk quickly replaced with a surprised look as he turns to face Ash and the others.
Dr. Neo Cortex: Well, if it isn't the Rangers and their allies. Fancy meeting you here.
Donkey Kong: What kind of trouble are you scheming up this time?
Cortex puts on a confident façade, his arrogance showing through.
Dr. Neo Cortex: Trouble, you say? No, no, no. I'm simply conducting a groundbreaking study on Pokémon behavior, dear Donkey Kong. Nothing more, nothing less.
Gmerl: Cut the act, Cortex! We know that your trying to make the forest Pokémon your servants.
Yoshi: Yeah! (Looking at Cortex, then points his thump towards Gmerl) What he said.
Cortex laughs, amused by the accusations.
Dr. Neo Cortex: My, my, you sure are a feisty crew. But I must admit, your accusations are a bit far-fetched. Why would I, a brilliant scientist, resort to controlling Pokémon like some lowly villain?
Goh: That's because you are a lowly villain, making Pokémon serve you and do your evil deeds.
Ash Ketchum: That's right, we'll stop whatever you throw at us!
Pikachu: Pika!
Dr. Neo Cortex grins mischievously, his dark intentions clear.
Dr. Neo Cortex: (Laughs) Is that right? Please, I'm always two steps ahead. Just you wait and see what I have up my sleeve.
Dr. Cortex pulls out a strange device, its sleek design hinting at dangerous capabilities. He activates it and the device hums to life, emitting a faint glow. Just then, to their surprise was a Golem and a Rhydon ready to fight.
Yoshi- Uh-oh, It's Golem and Rhydon!
Both Golem and Rhydon approach, their eyes glowing with a menacing aura as they follow the commands of Cortex.
Dr. Neo Cortex: Now then, shall we begin? (snapping his fingers) Golem, I command you to use Stone Edge.
Golem responds to Dr. Neo Cortex's command, channeling its energy to unleash a powerful Stone Edge attack at the opposing Pokémon. The ground shakes and several massive rocks erupt from beneath, hurtling towards the group with immense force.
Robbie Diaz: Sprigatito, use Magical Leaf!
Sprigatito springs into action, launching a shower of shimmering Magical Leaves towards the oncoming Stone Edge attack. The leaves collide with the rocks, detonating them and neutralizing the attack, reducing the damage.
Goh: Huh? Isn't that..?
Ash Ketchum: Yeah, It's Robbie's Sprigatito.
Robbie Diaz: Hey, guys!
The group turns to see Robbie, Austin, and Hunter approaching. They are relieved to see their comrades joining in on the action.
Emerl: Nice timin', Rob.
Robbie Diaz: Are you guy's okay, we got here as soon as you called.
Everyone exchanges nods, confirming that they are all unharmed. They are ready to take on whatever Dr. Neo Cortex has planned for them as he watches the newcomers with a sly grin, assessing the situation.
Dr. Neo Cortex: Well, well, it seems we have more guests. I must admit, I was expecting a more... formidable opposition.
Robbie Diaz: If you want a battle, Cortex! Then you got one! (To Sprigatito) Sprigatito, use Magical Leaf again!
Hunter: We'll help too. (To Servine) Servine, you use Magical Leaf!
Sprigatito and Servine launch their Magical Leaf attacks, raining down a barrage of shimmering leaves at Cortex and his Pokémon. The leaves swarm around them, exploding in a dazzling display of energy.
Dr. Neo Cortex: Well now, this should be interesting. (To Rhydon) Rhydon, use Hammer Arm.
Rhydon responds to Dr. Neo Cortex's command, channeling its immense strength to unleash a devastating Hammer Arm attack. It swings its powerful fist with incredible force, aiming to pummel through the opposing forces.
Ash Ketchum: (getting out one of his Pokéballs) Clauncher, I choose you!
Ash throws the Pokéball, releasing Clauncher onto the battle. Clauncher appears ready to fight by Ash's side.
Clauncher: Clauncher!
Ash Ketchum: Clauncher. I know I just caught you a few minutes ago, but we need your help. Can you lend us a hand?
Clauncher nods in agreement, its eyes filled with determination. It's ready to do what it can to aid Ash and his friends.
Ash Ketchum: Awesome! Now let's go, use Water Gun!
Clauncher: Clauncher!
Clauncher raises its claw and fires Water Gun attack, releasing a strong stream of water towards Golem and Rhydon.
Robbie Diaz: Nice shot, Ash.
Hunter: Yes, that was definitely super effective.
Ash grins, pleased with the effectiveness of Clauncher's Water Gun attack. The group watches intently as the battle unfolds.
