Let's catch Pokémon!
Masato, is there really a Battle Pyramid in this place?
Yes, it's right ahead.
Huh, I think I see it.
Is that...
It is! The Battle Pyramid!
Alright, let's go become Battle Frontier champion!
It's in your hands. After Satoshi wins, the Grand Festival is right after.
In my hands... I feel great, I'll win this one!
OMOIDE IMA WA SHIMATTE OKOU
My memories are now meeting their end
ANO BASHO MEZASHI SUPAATO KAKEYOU ZE
Let's aim to spurt towards that place!

You'll run together with the truth and the truth!
IKU ZE! WE'LL BE THERE!
Go! We'll be there!
Battle Pyramid! VS Regirock!!
Satoshi and others have finally made it to the last Battle Fronter location - Battle Pyramid, but...
Are you okay?
I'm not, at all.
Is this Team Rocket's trap?
No, looks like some ancient ruins.
What should we do?
We can't go back up.
Let's search for an exit.
Look, there is something over there.
Okay, detective Satoshi departs!
Hey, don't copy me!
Where are the twerps?
They disappeared around here.
Didn't they fall in this hole?
Ah, the ground is breaking up!
Breaking up means...
It's Pikachu!
That's cute.
Don't just touch things like that!
It's fine, I just want to look a bit.
Somethig is happening.
It's better to put it back.
Oh please, I'm not doing anything.
What is that?
How would I know?
This wouldn't happen if you didn't touch that Satoshi!
Run old man!
Troublesome kids.
They fell for the trap.
Go, Regirock!
Focus Punch!
Awesome!
That is...
Regirock, the Rock Peak Pokémon. It can use rocks to repair its own body.
Regirock, good job.
Oh, you saved us, old man.
No!
I'm not an old man.
My name is Jindai.
Jindai-san, thank you very much.
How did you get in here?
This is a forbidden place.
Well, the ground fell under us and we've been trying to look for an exit.
We saw a Pikachu statue, so I just grabbed it, and then...
No!
You are a Pokémon trainer, right?
Ugh, yes.
You should have been more careful than to fall for that ancient trap then.
Uhm, what kind of ruins are these?
I'll tell you.
There was once an ancient place, where people wanted to control the world by using a legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh.
Oh, I've heard of it. The name was...
Pokélantis.
Pokélantis?
Could this place be...?
It's not. Pokélantis was destroyed by an enraged Ho-oh.
One day it appeared again,
but Pokélantis King sealed that Ho-Oh inside an orb for all eternity out of revenge.
Wow, that's awesome!
Heard that?
Heard it, heard it.
Let's get that Ho-Oh!
And we'll be rewarded!
We'll become boss' right hand men.
This feels good.
So, there is a Ho-Oh somewhere in these ruins.
Okay.
No.
You foolish kids can't just be wandering around.
I'm not a foolish kid.
I was able to get 6 Frontier symbols.
What? Frontier symbols?
I worked so hard to get them.
I can battle a Ho-Oh!
Let's go!
Hey! Wait!
Hey, Satoshi!
Huh, isn't that Muchul?
So cute...
Something is approaching us.
Hurry, put it back down.
No way, it's just so cute.
Run!
How to open it?
Satoshi! It won't open!
What do we do?
The old King might be in that place.
Which means, the boy is in danger.
We must find a way to open the door.
What is this?
Is that the orb?
Is that Ho-Oh really inside it?
That's it!
Okay!
Come out, Ho-Oh!
Stop! You can't touch that!
Light, come out from the darkness.
Satoshi!
Are-are you ok?
This is suspicious.
Very suspicious.
There is no doubt.
Alright.
Come out, Ho-Oh!
Now, bow down. And give me all of your Pokémon!
My Poké Balls are...
What does this mean?
Satoshi, what happened to you?
What are you saying?
I am the King of Pokélantis.
Oh no! The spirit of the King of Pokélantis is controlling him!
This time I will conquer the world.
It's so clear now.
You failed to seal Ho-Oh, so you sealed your evil ambitions instead.
Light, come out of darkness.
That's the spell.
Jindai-san, what should we do?
Uhm, leave it to me.
Listen, King of Pokélantis.
If you want to see a strong Pokémon, battle with me.
And you are?
That's right, a king, like you.
A king of Battle Pyramid, Pyramide King.
Jindai-san is a Frontier Brain?
If you can beat me, you can have all my Pokémon.
And people of the world will bow down to you once again.
Sounds good.
This doesn't seem suspicious.
Hm, you are right.
Hello!
Is someone there?
Something nice is in there.
This time it's no mistake.
Ho-Oh-chan.
It's not Ho-Oh, it's Būmanda!
Yo, you finally made it!
Enishida-san.
Hello, Jindai.
Today's opponent is quite strong.
No, he is still a child.
Ugh. Satoshi-kun, you only need to win one more to become Battle Frontier champion, right?
Quiet.
My dream is to control the world.
Huh?
Move aside, I won't forgive anyone standing in my way.
Hey, who... is that?
Satoshi is not Satoshi...
What? The Pokélantis King's soul possessed him?
That's what Jindai-san said.
That is really mysterious.
Jindai-san knows a lot about these ruins.
Yeah, he is a Frontier Brain, but he also searches for ancient ruins to explore them for Pokémon.
Is that it?
That's Jindai. I wonder if he has a plan on how to battle Satoshi-kun.
A plan?
Now, this Pokémon battle can begin!
Challenger, Satoshi-kun from Masara town, come forward.
Wrong! I'm the ruler of this world,
Pokélantis King!
Ok. And then our king,
the man of the hour,
Battle Pyramid's Frontier Brain,
Pyramid King,
Jindai!
For this Pokémon battle,
each side can use one Pokémon.
1 on 1 battle.
If Jindai-san loses, what happens to Satoshi?
Go, Regirock!
What is this?
A battlefield?
I see! This is the Battle Pyramid!
Okay, the opponent is Regirock, so I'll use Jukain!
Come out, my faithful servant, Jukain!
Against a Rock type, he chose a Grass type.
Looks like Satoshi-kun's consciousness is still in there somewhere!
Maybe Jindai-san is trying to bring it back that way.
Start!
Jukain, Leaf Blade!
Leaf Blade!
Regirock, Iron Defense.
It's big, but it's just a little nuisance.
Bullet Seed!
Iron Defense!
You...
In that case...
Use Bullet Seed on the ceiling.
The ceiling?
What does he want to do?
Just do it!
Iron Defense!
That's cruel.
The real Satoshi wouldn't use something like that.
Now all of your Pokémon are mine!
You will do anything just to win? You're a coward!
What?!
A coward, you say?
That's right, a coward!
Wrong!
I'm not a coward!
- Satoshi! - Is he back to normal?
Call me coward or whatever, I'll win! Win!
The Regirock was beaten, what happens now?
It's alright.
Jindai's Regirock is not that weak.
Come out, Regirock!
What the?!
Hyper Beam!
Jukain, go stand behind the referee!
Stop wasting time, and go stand behind the referee!
Stop the attack!
How naive! I'll show you a merciless attack!
Leaf Blade, aim on it's legs!
Saw that? Now it can barely stand.
Regirock, Lock-On!
Regirock's Lock-On!
Eh, what is that?
Leaf Blade on it's legs!
I'm close to victory!
Hyper Beam!
It's no use.
Your Regirock can't keep up with my Jukain anymore.
Fire!
Dodge it!
After using Lock-On, your next move will surely hit it's target.
It just can't be dodged.
Jukain is unable to battle!
And this match...
Wait! The match is not over yet!
Under these conditions, this battle can't continue.
Shut up!
Well then Pikachu, you go!
Stop it!
Jukain and Pikachu are sad!
Satoshi, if your consciousness is in there, you have to know this!
That voice is Haruka...
Masato, Takeshi!
I've had enough of this. Pikachu, Thunderbolt!
- Satoshi! - Remember!
Satoshi!
Boy,
can you hear this voice?!
- Satoshi! - I hear them.
I hear their voices.
Pikachu!
Okay, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt on me!
Now!
Light, come back from the dark,
come out,
and return the dark.
Damn you!
Good job, master!
What happened to me?
Thank god.
I wasn't sure if you were ever gonna come back.
Good thinking, Jindai.
You knew that through battling, Satoshi's consciusness will come back.
I just helped a little bit.
The boy was actually saved by his friends.
Found it! Ho-Oh has to be behind this!
No mistaking this time.
Now, come out, Ho-Oh!
That's not a Ho-Oh, it's a Hoho.
Hey, stop making fools of us!
What? You got a problem?
First a Poppo, then Būmanda,
and the last one was Hoho, and closest by name to that is Ho-Oh, so, it must have been close.
That makes no sense!
This feels bad.
Haruka, Masato, Takeshi,...
thanks to you, I'm back to normal.
Thank you.
When you say it like that, I'm about to blush.
NO!
Foolish kids.
Listen well, you weren't defeated by any evil spirit.
You lost to your own self.
My own self?
That's right. The evil spirit attached to you because of your foolishness.
Think about that.
Yes.
I really am foolish.
But...
Allow me to challenge you once again please! This time to an official battle.
Master!
We are ready to leave.
I'm sorry, but I have to go explore another ruins.
Huh? No way...
Don't be so hasty.
When the time is right, I'll contact you.
Yes!
See you again!
Everyone, stand back.
Wow, the Battle Pyramid can actually fly in the sky!
Amazing!
This is how he travels to all the ruins so fast.
That's how it is.
Jindai-san, I will train hard to become stronger!
What is that?
Ho-Oh!
That's right. I saw it before when I first set out on my journey.
Okay!
I'll also travel, and when I come back, I'll win!
Hm, good luck, Satoshi.
Next up is your turn, big sis, right?
Yes. Finally, it's the big Pokémon Contest - Grand Festival.
Pyramid King Jindai helped out Satoshi.
But he is gonna be a big challenge to overcome,
When Satoshi and Jindai battle.
Now, Haruka is going towards another Pokémon Contest - the Grand Festival, and she is surely excited about it.
Next time.
STAGE ON!
Stage on!
RAITO WO ABIRU TO SWICCHI GA HAIRU
As we bath in the light, the switch is turned on,
LET'S GO!
( Let's go! )

Believing in my partners, I aim for the finals
KAGAYAITA KAIJOU NI KODAMA SURU TEBYOUSHI
On the bright stage, there is echoing applause,
MORIAGARU KANSEI NI TASHIKA NA TEGOTAE KANJITE
I feel a certain response in the rising jubilance and
WATASHI, MAKENAI! HONKI MOODO ZENKAI
I won't lose! My wholeheated mode has full force,
ZETTAI AKIRAME WA SHINAI GIRIGIRI MADE
I will never give up, until the last second
ASHITA MITSUMETE WARATTE ITAI KARA
Because I wanna laugh when looking at tomorrow
TSUGI NO ICHIGEKI DE KIMETAI
I want to determine it with the next shot,
RIBON WO GETTO! KITTO KATSU!
and get a ribbon - I'm going to win for sure!
Aiming for the Sekiei platform, we have discovered a huge crisis.
What these Pokémon are doing is a big mystery.
What is coming towards us?
And once we saw it...
A no win scenario is upon us.
Next time on Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation:
Marvel! Mountain of the Giant Kekking!!
Everyone, let's get Pokémon!
