Hey, look, guys, the island's getting really close.
Can't wait to see what it's like.
PIKACHU
PORTER That's Cave Island.
- Huh? - Cave Island's its name?
That's right. It's named after the massive cave
that can be found on the island.
- 'Wow.' - Right, and that's not all.
It's said that quite an impressive variety of Pokémon
also live in that cave.
I'm sure you're planning on shooting lots of video.
- Of course. - Okay.
So let's go have a look at that cave and check out the Pokémon.
- 'Yeah!' - 'Yeah!'

ASH A Pok mon of a Different Color.
NARRATOR Touring the Decolore Islands
on their way to the Kanto region
our heroes have left the ship
to visit Cave Island and its many Pokémon.
- Huh? Not again. - Huh?
I completely forgot to gather all the equipment
I need for the video.
Gogoat, come on out.
Let's ride!
Alright, we'll see you all later.
/ Hey.
Alexa, wait.
Oh, well, she's gone now.
And that's that, since we have no idea where that cave is.
Dragonite. Where are you?
Please, come out here.
Huh?
- Huh? - Is that you?
Wow, Clair, it is you.
I can't believe it. It's Ash.
Right. That's so cool that you still remember me.
Well, how could I forget?
I owe you for stopping my Dragonite
when it was on a tear using Outrage.
Pikachu, Thunder!
/
You really helped get us out of a jam, Pikachu. Thanks.
Guys, this is Clair.
She's the Gym Leader at the Blackthorn City Gym.
- Huh? - Nice to meet you.
These are friends of mine.
I'm Cilan, a Pokémon Connoisseur.
And I'm Iris. This is my partner, Axew.
Ah. Axew, huh?
Hmm? Wow.
It's obvious you've been raised well.
Thank you. That's so nice.
Blackthorn, if I remember
the Blackthorn Gym is a Dragon Type Gym
in the Johto region, right?
Wow. You know your stuff.
That's because I went to school
and trained at the Opelucid Academy.
Then you studied with Drayden, right?
Uh-huh. So do you know him?
I haven't actually met him yet.
But once I'm done with business on Cave Island
I may just do that.
So, what business are you doing here?
Dragon Type Trainer business.
I have just one goal.
Catch a Druddigon of a different color.
Huh? A different color? Wow!
- It sounds exciting. - Yeah, I wanna see it.
We were getting ready to leave for the cave
but true to form Dragonite suddenly flew away.
I'm still waiting for it to come back
That's why we heard you calling for it.
We could help you find Dragonite.
Yeah. Charizard, I choose you.
Okay, Dragonite. You too.
So you've got a Dragonite as well, huh?
That's right. Dragonite's another special partner of mine.
Hey, Charizard, will you help us go find Clair's Dragonite?
/
IRIS Go for it, you two.
Hear that?
With all of my ears.
Grabbing a rare Druddigon like that
from this island would be quite the catch.
Team Rocket's world of rare Pokémon.
That's our goal. So, let's go.
Grabbing Pikachu would be a big plus, too.
Then let's do the thing we do.
/
ASH You found Dragonite?
- Oh! - Stop it, Dragonite!
Stop!
Charizard. Break those two up!
/
Charizard?
I'm getting the feeling
Charizard's going to get dragged into the fight.
Hey!
I told you to stop, now!
Dragonite, you too!
Hmm? Huh?
Now I know why they're fighting.
Look there!
Huh?
My Dragonite loves flowers.
That's what it's all about.
When that flower got stepped on, it got mad.
You know, I remember your Dragonite got really outraged
over a meadow of flowers the last time we met too.
Although, there's something sweet about
such an affection for flowers, don't you think?
I've got a hunch that your Dragonite is a female.
- Correct? - Yes. That's right.
The thing is, Iris's Dragonite is a male.
Okay. What's that mean?
Put on your thinking cap.
Have you forgotten I'm a Film Connoisseur?
It's classic boy meets girl.
CILAN When they first meet,
they have a terrible fight.
But after overcoming a difficult challenge
a strong bond is created between them.
There is no greater love story in the world.
You know what that means?
Our two star-crossed sweethearts
are falling in love before our eyes.
Sounds like a bit of a stretch.
I'd say a lot of a stretch.
Since we found Clair's Dragonite
now it's time to go find that rare Druddigon.
Will you let us go with you?
Be my guests.
CLAIR It looks like the cave entrance
is deep inside this forest.
Yes. Exploring caves is so cool!
Ah! Drilbur! And Roggenrola!
Look! Woobat.
Those must be some of the Pokémon
- who live in the cave. - They didn't look very happy.
You're right.
Something must be going on in there.
ALEXA Let's have a look.
ASH/IRIS/CILAN Okay.
Our plan's working like a charm.
That's it. Move it. Chop chop.
Let's review.
Right now, at the back of this cave
'we're sending out Pokémon-repelling sound waves.'
So when a Pokémon happens to hear said waves..
Man, that hurts!
Case in point.
Don't mess with me!
Remember, this cave is enormous
with hundreds of intertwining tunnels
but there are only two small exits.
And seeing that we have blocked off one of them
that rare Druddigon has only one choice
and that's to exit right here.
JESSIE/JAMES I think we should
give ourselves a big hand.
Who blocked this off?
We've got to get this out of the way.
Dragonite, let's go!
IRIS 'Dragonite, you too!'
We'll handle this.
Charizard, I choose you!
Give the Dragonite a little help.
/
- Oh! - Ah!
Hey, maybe it'd be better
if you just left it to Dragonite.
/
Nice job!
Huh?
Hey. What's going on?
- Huh? - Huh?
What is it?
What do you think this could be?
CLAIR Of course it's a sound frequency
only Pokémon can hear, which causes great pain.
Huh?
So, that's why those Pokémon
were running out of the cave so quickly.
Right. We've got to stop those sound waves right away.
Dragonite, return.
IRIS 'You return too.'
Axew. Hide inside my hair.
Wear this. Here.
It works. Alright.
CLAIR Okay, let's go in.
ASH/CILAN/IRIS Who's that Pokémon?
ASH/CILAN/IRIS It's Charizard.
CHARIZARD
I wonder if the rare Druddigon
we're looking for really lives in here.
CLAIR I do too.
Maybe it already ran away.
Huh? Hey, look.
ASH 'What's that?'
Druddigon will often leave marks
that they make with their jagged wings
and that's one way you can tell this is their home.
How cool is that?
So, that allows us to safely assume
this is Druddigon territory.
Way to go, Iris.
Anybody training to be a Dragon Master knows that.
So your goal is to become a Dragon Master, Iris?
Yes.
Looks may be deceiving
but Drayden actually handpicked Iris
as someone who could inherit the Opelucid Academy someday.
Looks may be deceiving?
She's also gonna be the next Elder in the Village of Dragons.
No, they haven't decided yet.
Village of Dragons?
Right. That's where I grew up.
That's great.
So, I guess your obvious love of Dragon Types
has much to do with destiny.
Hmm? Honestly? That's really not why.
When I was younger, I really
didn't like Dragon Type Pokémon very much at all.
They were so scary.
I could hardly stand looking at them.
IRIS But one day..
I hope the rain stops soon.
DRUDDIGON
IRIS A Pokémon?
DRUDDIGON
Oh, no, it can't be.
Sounds like a Druddigon.
DRUDDIGON
I'm not scared of you, see?
DRUDDIGON
Huh? Hold on.
You sound hurt
Is something wrong, Druddigon?
Hmm?
IRIS Druddigon?
Whoa! It used Flamethrower?
So, what happened after that?
- Hmm? - Huh?
ASH What is it?
This must be making the sound waves.
There. It's not anymore.
Eh! That's great.
Yeah.
JAMES Huh? Now, that's strange.
Don't tell me something's wrong.
I can't wait for Druddigon
to show its menacing mug.
- No pain. - Right. No pain, no gain.
Yeah? Well, that stinks.
Oy vey.Maybe a Pokémon knocked it over.
MEOWTH I'll see.
Here it comes.
That Druddigon's a different color, no doubt.
And it's all for us.
Go. Amoonguss!
Frillish. Go.
Use Stun Spore.
Bubble Beam, let's go.
/
I heard a Druddigon. Come on.
ASH/CILAN/IRIS Okay.
/
Stop Druddigon in its tracks by using Psychic.
/
Body Slam, let's go.
Amoongus, keep using Body Slam.
/
- Oh! - Team Rocket.
I should've known you did this.
Oh! It's the Druddigon we've been looking for.
The Twerp scores.
But we're really the ones who score
JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Druddigon's ours.
Frillish, Bubble Beam.
/
Stop, if you keep that up
Druddigon's anger will get worse.
It's mad now!
We'd better bag that beast!
Let's go!
- Let her rip! - 'Away!'
JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH We're blasting off empty handed.
FRILLISH
Way to go!
What about Druddigon?
We have to do something
or Druddigon could hurt itself badly.
You're right, but what do we do?
- Dragonite. - Wait.
Battling head to head
will only enrage Druddigon even more.
I'll have to take care of this myself.
You're not serious, are you?
Clair, please. It's too dangerous.
ALEXA Druddigon.
Just relax.
Look into my eyes.
ALEXA 'And listen to my voice.'
/
- Oh! - Oh, no!
I'm fine. That was nothing.
I've got to convince Druddigon to trust in me.
Now, I'm mad.
Listen and listen well!
I suggest you calm down right this minute.
Or I'm going to be in your face, get it?
You've just lost your temper because of Team Rocket's attack.
But it's all over.
We got rid of the sound waves in your cave once and for all.
No one's going to mess with you anymore.
So please. Control your rage.
PIKACHU
I'm not through!
I'm still standing.
Your attacks aren't going to stop me.
I know you're a tough one
but I can feel your heart opening up to me
little by little.
Don't worry about me.
'You all stay right where you are!'
- Okay. - Be careful.
I understand. You're fighting with me
because you're consumed with anger
but things are going to be alright.
It's all okay.
Amazing.
That's just what happened to me.
- Huh? - Huh?
IRIS What are you doing?
Wait! Are you, are you hurt?
Don't move!
Huh? There it is.
IRIS I'm back.
Don't be angry, Druddigon.
I'm here to help you feel better.
Look at this, see?
This will help you to heal.
I'll just put this on you, and it won't hurt a bit.
You'll feel better in no time.
It's okay.
You just relax.
Yeah. That's it.
That's it. Good.
Everything's gonna be fine.
It's an Oran Berry, see?
Eat this, and it will help you feel better too.
IRIS Try it.
IRIS All I was thinking about
was helping Druddigon to feel better.
It worked.
Everything's fine.
I really do understand.
Being attacked the way you were there
would make anyone angry.
But I won't let that ever happen again.
So, you don't need to be angry anymore.
That's better.
It's safe to go back to being your sweet self.
Please?
Druddigon's not upset anymore.
Awesome. Clair's totally amazing.
For sure.
I know Druddigon may look pretty scary
but it's actually a big sweetheart on the inside.
IRIS Just like the Druddigon
I helped back then.
Bye-bye, Druddigon.
I'd better hurry
or the Elder will be mad at me.
Uh! Ah!
Huh?
Huh! Scolipede!
I'm sorry, really.
I-I, uh.. /
Huh? Druddigon?
Wow, thanks a lot, Druddigon.
And that's when I started to like Dragon Types.
You see?
I get it.
There's nothing any more awesome
than when you make a real connection
with a Pokémon.
Huh? Look.
CILAN 'The cave Pokémon
are going back to their home.'
Funny, now that I've gotten to know you
I don't need to catch you anymore.
So, you can go on home.
Huh?
You know what?
I'm getting the feeling Druddigon
wants to come along with you after all, you know?
Me too. Awesome.
Huh? Do you really want to come with me?
Hmm.
Alright then.
Let's go Poké Ball!
Alright. You did it, Clair.
Thanks, everyone.
We're going to be a great team.
For sure.
You really caught a Druddigon with different coloring?
Why didn't you take me with you?
May I see Druddigon?
Pretty please? May I?
My pleasure.
Come on out.
Incredible.
I've gotta record this.
Just a sec.
Now, just look right into the camera.
Perfect. Just like that. Excellent. Amazing.
So, Clair, where did you say you're gonna go now?
I think I'm going to go pay Drayden a little surprise visit.
But first maybe I'll go visit the Village of Dragons.
Wow, and if you happen to see the Elder
will you please tell her that Axew and I say hello
and we're doing fine?
Sure. Of course.
Sounds like it's almost time to leave.
Great to see you again.
Bye bye. It was great to see you too. Safe trip.
Okay, thanks.
Alexa, the ship is leaving.
Huh?
Just a little bit longer.
Say "Ah!" That's great.
And Iris.
Next time I see you
let's battle.
You bet.
NARRATOR And so we leave two great lovers
of Dragon Type Pokémon
after bonding over their shared experiences with Druddigon
as our h
