Pokemon the Movie: I Choose You! Page #3

---

I don't know about

any of this, but it's cool...

Oh. Impressed

with yourself, huh?

Oops!

Morning, Piplup.

Sleep well?

Entei and its

friends are gone...

Yeah.

Hey! Charmander!

You feeling better?

Let's see.

Your tail flame looks good. Yup.

That tells me you're back to

feeling fine! You're good to go.

Isn't that great, Charmander?

Hey... You wanna

come along with us?

I'd like us to

become good friends!

Please?

Great! You really mean it?

'Kay, here goes.'

I just caught a Charmander!

Congratulations, Ash.

You too, Pikachu.

It's a rainbow!

So beautiful!

They say that Ho-Oh

lives at the end of the rainbow.

The legend. Says the

Rainbow Wing will guide you.

So, what's over that way?

There are quite

a number of steep mountains

over there. The

Raizen Mountain Range.

I know!

I'm gonna meet Ho-Oh

and have a Pokmon battle!

I'd love

to meet Ho-Oh, too!

So would I!

Then I can determine for myself

whether the legend of the

Rainbow Hero, is actually true.

C'mon!

We've gotta get

moving and find Ho-Oh!

Right!

That's music to my ears...

Entei proved too elusive, but...

Catching

Ho-Oh would rule!

We're so cool...

Yee-haaa!

Hah!

A Bug type against a Bug type!

Yeah! Caterpie, I choose you!

'Kay, Caterpie use String Shot!

All right!

It's evolving...

It turned into a Metapod!

Pinsir's getting away.

That's okay!

This is what counts.

Congratulations, Metapod!

Really? Suicune?!

Standing right in front of me.

Man, I wish I

could've been there...

Our eyes met...

and it was like time stopped.

Yeah.

We were so connected.

Wow. Must've been nice!

To meet Suicune

so soon after seeing Entei.

Incredible luck.

I think so, too!

I wonder how my mom

would feel about it.

Oh. My mother...

She's a famous

Pokmon Trainer back home.

Nothing I ever do is

good enough for her.

If I'm honest, we haven't

talked since I left.

You know what I think? I

think she would be proud of you.

He's right!

'Course she would

Maybe...

Jigglypuff, Double Slap, go!

Charmander, use Flamethrower!

Jigglypuff is unable

to battle! Ash is the winner!

Great work, Charmander!

You evolved into

Charmeleon! That's awesome!

Nice to meet you!

I'm Verity.

I'm Sorrel.

I hope Ash hasn't been

causing you too much trouble.

Oh, well! He's rambunctious,

but he's got a big heart.

I hope you'll all

be good friends!

Mom, I wish

you'd stop worrying...

Sorrel? You find anything?

Yes, this is an excellent book.

So well researched.

Listen! From high above,

Ho-Oh watched over the many

works of people and of Pokmon,

and they experienced the

Aura of Happiness. And they

received energy from it.

And yet, the Heart of

Evil stole strength from it.

What's that?

When the Rainbow Wing

touches the Heart of Evil,

its color vanishes.

The Heart of Evil?

Its color vanishes?

Looks like mine's just fine.

Like your mom said, you

may be a little rambunctious,

but you sure don't have

an evil heart.

That's right! 'Cause I'm

big-hearted and rambunctious!

Knock it off! That's

not nice! Quit laughing!

Pikachu, use Iron Tail!

Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Snorlax is unable

to battle! Ash is the winner!

All right!

Very Nice!

So, since Ash was victorious,

who is his next challenger?

What do you say, Piplup?

I am!

It's Cross!

So he's the trainer

you were talking about...

I heard a rumor,

you started working with

that useless Charmander.

There's no such thing

as a useless Pokmon!

Charmeleon, let's go!

It actually evolved?

It doesn't matter.

A weakling is still a weakling!

You're not even close!

When a Pokmon works with

a Trainer, it gets stronger!

All right,

my strong Fire-type Pokmon,

Incineroar, to arms!

Look at that...

An Incineroar.

Now come at me!

Charmeleon, use Flamethrower!

That's it!

Use Slash!

YES!

That's odd...

Keep it up, Charmeleon!

Seismic Toss, now!

Incineroar? Let's do it.

Charmeleon, use Flamethrower!

And we'll use Flamethrower, too!

Charmeleon!

Of course.

When Incineroar

takes enough damage,

it gains more power.

But that means...

It took the attacks on purpose.

Charmeleon, use Flamethrower!

It can't keep up!

Its newly-evolved

powers aren't ready!

Ash shouldn't be

relying on strength alone...

Use Throat Chop!

Let's wrap it up.

Use Cross Chop!

We're not gonna lose this!

Use Flamethrower!

No, Ash, you can't!

Charmeleon!

Charmeleon is unable to battle!

The winner is Incineroar!

You're too soft!

You battled using cheap

friendship, and called moves

your Pokmon couldn't use,

so you lost. You're the worst

Trainer I've ever seen

and you'll never win!

Your Pokmon are all

fully recovered and healthy.

Thanks very much.

Cheer up, Charmeleon's fine!

That guy...

His training is totally wrong!

I know I should have

won that thing, but...

Try as you might, you

cannot deny his convictions.

He and Incineroar are bonded

together through their shared

belief in pure, raw strength.

Even so, it's wrong

for a guy like that to win!

Your first step, needs

to be accepting that you lost.

Can't you channel

the frustration of losing,

into working hard, so

that you'll win next time?

Yeah, I hear you.

You know? Pikachu

would've won that thing.

Ash you shouldn't say that!

What if Charmeleon

had heard you?!

If winning's

all you care about...

then you're no

different than Cross.

Ash, wait!

Hold on Ash come back!

What's with those two

thinking they're so smart?

Hey, I'm right,

don't you think?!

So you're saying

it's my fault, huh?!

Even Pikachu...

Man...

If only my first

Pokmon had been a Squirtle

or a Bulbasaur...

Pikachu...

Ho-Oh, I thought

I was the Rainbow hero.

Who needs Pikachu anyway?!

I'm just fine... all by myself!

Ash Ketchum,

are you still asleep?

You'll be late getting to

Professor Oak's class!

Yeah, right...

Mom, why didn't you wake me up?!

Professor Oak!

Oh, if it isn't Ash...

Am I on time?

There are four students who came

to school late, and you

were the latest of them all.

Ash, you're late!

I overslept a little.

Where's your homework?

Aw, I forgot it!

What were you thinking?!

Ash, what is it?

Uh... It's nothing.

You're weird.

The subject of

today's class is rainbows.

Rainbows are caused by the

sun's rays moving through the

atmosphere, and when they

encounter water vapor,

their light is bent and

refracted, causing a

multicolored arc.

Children, have you ever...

How long are you

going to stand there?

Aren't you sick

of that view yet?

What's on your mind?

I was just wondering

what's way out there.

Let's see.

There are forests and rivers,

and mountains... And there's

the next town, too.

And past that?

More forests and rivers...

and eventually,

you get to the sea.

And past that?

I'm sure it's more of the same.

The thing is... you never

know until you go there.

For me... I wanna see what's

out there with my own eyes.

On a journey?

Sounds like fun.

You don't have to worry

about school and schedules.
