(Late at night, a sampan boat sails down a wide river. Inside, Snorlax and the Five Masters are sleeping. Snorlax becomes restless as he enters a dream...).

Snorlax: Momma...?

(In Snorlax's 2D animated dream, Snorlax finds himself in a forest filled with white trees. He turns and spots two Pokémon-shaped figures walking away from him in a white light).

Snorlax: Mom? Dad? Is that you? (Snorlax begins running after them excitedly). Mom! Dad! (Snorlax's parents stop and turn to him. Snorlax's mother is holding a white bundle).

Snorlax's Father: Oh he-hey! Son, youare back! (The father's tone confuses Snorlax).

Snorlax: Huh?

Snorlax's Mother: Honey, what are you doing here?

Snorlax: But I thought...

Snorlax's Mother: We replaced you, dear, with this lovely Lum Berry! (Snorlax's unwraps the bundle slightly to reveal a large red Lum Berry).

Snorlax: Lum Berry?

Snorlax's Father: Itis quiet, polite, and frankly, does better Kung Fu. (The Lum Berry suddenly leaps up in the air, making high-pitched Kung Fu noises).

Snorlax: Oh no, no, no... (The Lum Berry rushes at Snorlax and gives him a thorough Kung Fu beating. As Snorlax is on the ground, the Lum Berry lunges. Before it hits, it suddenly forms into a glowing red eye and...).

(Suddenly Snorlax wakes with a start. Troubled, Snorlax quietly gets up and exits the cabin, not noticing Blaziken's eyes opening as he leaves. On the deck, Snorlax mumbles furiously to himself).

Snorlax: Lum Berry, Lum Berry, Lum Berry, Lum Berry, Lum Berry... YAH! (In frustration, Snorlax punches the mast. Then Snorlax hears a "Plip" Sound! A drop of water falls on Snorlax's head. Looking up, Snorlax sees that water is dripping from the mast above. Snorlax begins making tai chi movements like Urshifu's...). Inner... Peace... (But then "Plip!" As Another drop hits Snorlax's head. Snorlax scowls and tries again).Pea- (But yet again, "Plip!" Snorlax keeps trying, getting more infuriated as the waterdrops continue to interrupt him. "Plip!" "Plip!" "Plip!" "Plip". It is Too Much and Snorlax loses it, Screaming). AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHH! (Snorlax furiously punches the mast repeatedly as his frustration gets the better of him. He briefly stops... and a large amount of water drenches him. Snorlax looks up with silent anger. Before another Water Drop, "Plip!" Snorlax again) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHH! (Now Enraged, Snorlax begins headbutting the Mast Shouting). INNER PEACE! Inner peace! Inner peace inner peace inner peace inner pea pe pa, pa, pah... (But then Snorlax hears a voice that Snaps him out of his Trance).

Blaziken: Ahem. (Snorlax stops and looks up to see Blaziken standing on top of the cabin, with a hand on the mast. Snorlax is embarrassed and says nervously).

Snorlax: Oh, er... well, Iam, er... training.

Blaziken: The mast is not a worthy opponent. (Blaziken leaps over Snorlax's head and lands opposite him. Blaziken holds out an arm, palm faced towards Snorlax and says),Iam ready.

Snorlax: Okay. So serious... (Snorlax raises his fist and punches the Hand as hard as he can- POW! It is Silent for a Couple of seconds, but moments later Snorlax collapses in pain, clutching his fist). Ha-ha-ha-OW! Well, I bet I prefer the mast. (Blaziken says while admiring the used Hand).

Blaziken: Apologies, I used to punch the Ironwood Trees by the palace to train. Now, I feel nothing. (Snorlax says impressed and amazed with Blaziken).

Snorlax: That's... severely cool. (Blaziken smiles slightly... but then holds an arm out again).

Blaziken: Again! (Snorlax gets up and begins punching Blaziken's fist repeatedly).

Snorlax: So, er... this punching Ironwood Trees... how long did you have to do that?

Blaziken: Twenty years. (Snorlax stops punching for a Moment).

Snorlax: Oh, twen-twenty years? (Snorlax Resumés punching). Is there any, uh, you know, faster way? You know... until you... you know... do not feel anything?

Blaziken: No. Besides... (Blaziken grabs Snorlax's fist and spins him in the air. Snorlax crashes to the floor. Blaziken smiles, watching his large belly slowly bounce to a stop). I do not think hard style is... your thing.

Snorlax: Oh... (Snorlax gets up into a sitting position as Blaziken kneels beside him).

Blaziken: Snorlax... why are you trulyout here? (Snorlax takes a deep breath before sighing to himself and says).

Snorlax: I just found out that my dad... is not really my dad. (Blaziken looks at him).

Blaziken: Your dad... the Watchog? (Snorlax nods confirming it. Blaziken is in shock from this but tries not to look surprised by Obvious it is hindsight). That must have been quite a shock.

Snorlax: Yes.

Blaziken: And this bothers you? (Snorlax tries to blow it off, being cool about it).

Snorlax: Heh... are you kidding me? Weare warriors, right? Nerves of Ecto-Ranium! Souls of Aura Knights! ...Like you! So hardcore you do not feel anything. (Blaziken's eyes widen as Snorlax punches Blaziken's arm and retracts his fist in pain, surprised by what he has said).

Blaziken: ...I was... (Before Blaziken can finish they hear a Voice say).

Voice: So, what are You all talking about? (The rest of the Five Masters appear from the cabin and surround Snorlax and Blaziken).

Snorlax: Nothing. Nothing.

Dragonair: Snorlax's having daddy issues.

Buzzwole: Man, Iam so lucky. I do not have any problems with my dad! Maybe Itis because of my Unknown Origins as an Ultra Beast. Or perchance a War General Named Brandon, who kept a facility of other Ultra Beasts like a Blacephalon, Xurkitree, Stakataka, and a Human Pheromosa, wiped my Memories of my Home World. I do not know!... (Before Buzzwole can continue, Dragonair interrupts him).

Dragonair: Buzzwole, this is not about you! Snorlax is the one freaking out. (Snorlax says defending himself, despite not feeling completely confident in himself).

Snorlax: Iam not freaking out. (Then Blaziken says getting Snorlax's Attention).

Blaziken: Snorlax... (Snorlax says ignoring Blaziken).

Snorlax: Iam freaking... in. (Then Blaziken says getting Snorlax's Attention again).

Blaziken: Snorlax! (Finally, Snorlax says asking Blaziken).

Snorlax: What?

Blaziken: Weare here... (The warriors turn to see Crown City in the distance, the sun rising in the background). Crown City.

(Meanwhile at the atrium at the very top of the Palace Tower. Inside, the decorative banners are coming down by Exploud soldiers as the cannon is rolling into the room. Lord Genesect approaches the large golden throne in the center of the room, smiling fondly at it).

Genesect: My father's throne... he used to let me play here beside him, promising someday that this throne would be mine... (Only for the Golden Throne to go out of a window seconds later. It the Throne's Place is the cannon once it is set in place). A little to the left. (An Exploud Grunt says complaining).

Exploud: Uh, but itis so heavy, master!

Genesect: Thirty years Ihave waited for this moment. Everything must be exactly how I envisioned it... and I envisioned it a little to the left. (The Exploud's adjust the cannon in the desired Direction with Difficulty). Perfect. With the weapon by my side... ah, a little bit more. (The Exploud's adjust the cannon again in the desired Direction with Difficulty). With the weapon by my side... all Sinnoh will bow before me. We move out in three days, when the moon is full, and the tide is high. (Genesect laughs and then turns to the Froslass, who is sitting among her divination objects in a corner of the room). Now, you old Sawsbuck, why do not you tell me my- (Then Froslass says interrupting Genesect).

Froslass: Fortune?

Genesect: F-future, I was going to say future. Look into your bowland tell me what glory awaits. (Froslass goes and investigates a small bowl in front of her).

Froslass: If you continue, on your current path... (Froslass' eyes roll upwards. Genesect slowly walks down the small steps in the middle of the room, intrigued. As Froslass says Mystically). You will find yourself... (Froslass drops the Mystical Tone in her voice and says Bluntly) at the bottom of the stairs. (Genesect stops upon hearing that and sees that it is indeed at the bottom of the steps. Genesect exclaims in annoyance before approaching the Froslass, who again investigates her bowl and says), I see... Well, I see... oh, I see pain... (Froslass plucks a Piece of Genesect's Claw causing it to Cry out in Pain).

Genesect: Ow!

Froslass: And anger... (Froslass uses Shadow Claw to remove a Piece of Genesect's Body Scales from its Body enraging Genesect enough to provoke into Yelling at Froslass for her Actions).

Genesect: How dare you! That is the finest Luster in the province! (Froslass, however ignores Genesect and Says).

Froslass: Followed by denial...

Genesect: This is not fortune telling! Youare just saying whatis happening right- (Froslass interrupts Genesect again).

Froslass: Now? (Genesect sighs in exasperation. Froslass puts the Claw and piece of Scale into the bowl).The most crucial time is now. But if you really want to see the future... (Suddenly Froslass makes Glowing blue-white smoke suddenly erupt from the bowl. Genesect watches in awe as the smoke rises into the air).

Genesect: Oh, what do you see? (The smoke forms into a Genesect).

Froslass: A Genesect... (The Genesect becomes a fiery yin yang symbol. The Exploud's back away in fear of this Projection before Froslass continues saying)....loses to a warrior of black and white. Nothing has changed. (A shocked and furious Genesect shatters the bowl with a Flash Cannon and Blows away the apparition with its Hand. Froslass looks up as Genesect chuckles at her).

Genesect: Thatis impossible... and you know it!

Froslass: It is not at all impossible... and heknows it.

Genesect: Who? (Froslass Smirks at Genesect. Then at that moment, Darmanitan appears from the stairs).

Darmanitan: Lord Genesect! Oh, I saw a Snorlax!

Genesect: A Snorlax!? (Genesect lunges at Darmanitan, pinning him to the floor by the neck).

Darmanitan: A Kung Fu warrior... he fought like a demon! Big and furry... soft and squishy... (Darmanitan growls) ... kinda plush and cuddly... (Genesect glares into Darmanitan's eyes and says Slowly).

Genesect: There are no more Snorlax's... (Then Froslass comes over and says).

Froslass: Even with his poor eyesight, he can see the truth. (Froslass Taps Genesect's Right eye). Why is it that you cannot? (Genesect turns his Growling Glare from Froslass to Darmanitan and says).

Genesect: Find this Snorlax, and him bring to me! (Genesect flings Darmanitan away).

Darmanitan: Yes, sir! (Darmanitan retreats down the stairs. Then Genesect Says to Froslass).

Genesect: So, one Snorlax still lives... that does not make you right. (Froslass Says Smugly back to Genesect).

Froslass: Youare right... being right makes me right. (Then Genesect says Turning away from Froslass).

Genesect: Then I will kill him... and make you wrong! (Genesect hears a Slashing sound behind him and sees Froslass has slashed his Skin again for a Body Scale and Says Shouting at her). Will you STOP that!? (Genesect yanks the Scale out of her mouth).

(Meanwhile, the sampan sails quietly through Crown City Harbor, stopping underneath a stone bridge. The Five Masters leap up and begin scaling the wall. Snorlax tries and fails a couple of times before joining then on top of a roof overlooking the city streets. The palace tower is visible in the distance).

Blaziken: That must be Genesect's palace, on the other side of the city.

Snorlax: All right! Wewill march into the palace and proclaim: We are the Dragon Warrior and the Animarium Wild Force, and we are here to bring you to justice! (Snorlax leaps off the roof).

Buzzwole: Hey! (Buzzwole grabs Snorlax's foot, stopping the Snorlax short and making him crash back on the roof. Buzzwole quickly pulls him back out of sight).What are you doing? This place is crawling with Gurdurr. (The Five warriors peer over the roof; indeed, there are Gurdurr in every street of the city).

Corviknight: Hey, isn't that the guy who Focus Punched you in the face? (Snorlax spots Darmanitan smacking a bewildered Pignite's head as he passes by).

Snorlax: I do not like that guy. (Blaziken puts a paw on his shoulder).

Blaziken: We need to get to that tower without having those Pokémon see us.

Snorlax: Got it. Stealth mode... (The warriors creep back down from the roof).

(Later, Snorlax attempts to sneak through the streets, stopping to hide behind two thin pillars. Snorlax briefly spots the Five Masters stealthily leaping over the rooftops. Snorlax picks up a large plant and tries to use it as camouflage but ends up tripping over the other plant pot. Now on the floor, Snorlax slides on his back towards cover... but changes direction when he sees a noodle bowl standing on the very edge of a noodle cart. Snorlax tries to reach a dangling noodle strand with his tongue. But then Snorlax hears Darmanitan say nearby).

Darmanitan: Hey, get outta the way! (Snorlax becomes alerted to the presence of Pokémon and rolls out of sight behind a market stall. Snorlax sneaks along the line of market stalls until he hits himself on something unseen. Snorlax appears behind a fruit stall, only to meet a Gurdurr passing by. The Gurdurr stares: the strands hanging from a kite on Snorlax's head, coupled with two watermelons sitting in front of Snorlax's chest, give him the appearance of a woman. Snorlax notices this, pulls out a fan, and begins flirting with the Gurdurr as he Says in a Female Voice).

Snorlax: Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, hello, ho, ho, ho, I could not help but- (Then WHACK! Snorlax headbutts the Gurdurr, knocking him out cold. Snorlax quickly makes his way out the stall). Yes, okay... anyway, where was I? (Meanwhile, the Five Masters stop on one of the rooftops).

Blaziken: Where's Snorlax?

Buzzwole: How can you lose a guy that big? (The Five Masters look down at the market street. It is not long before they spot a dragon costume with Snorlax legs clumsily making his way down the street. Blaziken is embarrassed, while the others are completely gobsmacked).

(In the street, Snorlax knocks a huge lantern into a fireworks stall; sparkling, fiery chaos erupts in seconds. The Five Masters leap down to ground level as Snorlax passes by, looking for his friends).

Snorlax: Guys! Guys? (Infernape appears beneath the costume suddenly).

Infernape: Hey, Snorlax... (Suddenly there is a Smack Noise! Startled, Snorlax accidentally backhands Infernape as the rest of the Five Masters join him beneath the costume).

Snorlax: Sorry!

Corviknight: So that was stealth mode, huh?

Snorlax: Letus be honest, not one of my stronger modes... (The costume continues its journey down the street, where the warriors see citizens being the victims of terrorizing by the Pokémon. Dragonair peeks out from beneath the costume and gasps in horror at the sight. The costume spots a Gurdurr lifting a Flaaffy by the collar while holding a bowl of rice with one Hand).

Gurdurr: This rice is raw!

Flaaffy: But you stole all my metal pots for Lord Genesect! (The Gurdurr flings down the bowl shattering it).

Gurdurr: Either you cook my rice, or I cook you!

Flaaffy: My apologies... (Back to the Warriors inside the costume. In the background, the Gurdurr is threatening the Flaaffy some more before counting down from three).

Corviknight: Snorlax, do something!

Snorlax: How am I supposed to help her cook rice without having them see me!? Wait... Yes, I have a better idea.

Gurdurr: ...one! (Gurdurr raises his fist as Snorlax taps him on the shoulder with the costume's tongue).

Snorlax: Hey.

Gurdurr: Hey. (Gurdurr turns back to the Flaaffy. Gurdurr suddenly registers what he has seen and turns back, before Snorlax punches him. As the Flaaffy looks on, the Gurdurr goes through the inside of the costume through the dragon's mouth, given a thorough beating inside, and expelled from beneath the dragon's tail. A young Bunnelby nearby exclaims in disgust at the sight. The costume turns to the Flaaffy).

Snorlax: Weare here to liberate the city and bring Genesect to justice.

Flaaffy: You will need help.

Snorlax: Thank you, brave Flaaffy, but itis too dangerous, I cannot let you...

Flaaffy: Oh no, not me. It is not safe to speak here.

Snorlax: Right. (Snorlax thinks for a moment... and then picks the Flaaffy up into the dragon's mouth. The young Bunnelby screams and runs off).

Flaaffy: Iam talking about the masters Tyranitar and Feraligatr. They are in Crown City Jail at Grings Kodai Alley.

Snorlax: What?! Theyare still alive? They must be in that jail gathering intelligence, hatching a plot to use their awesomeness to defeat the weapon! Okay, letus go! (Snorlax Puts down the Flaaffy). Thanks, Flaaffy. (At the moment, Darmanitan spots his beaten Gurdurr and rushes onto the scene).

Darmanitan: Hey, stop that costume! (The costume takes off, pursued by Gurdurr. It turns a corner and quickly climbs over a Berry cart).

Dragonair: Take that! (Dragonair has the costume tail-lashes the cart, sending a barrage of Berries down on the Pokémon. Inside, the Five Masters urge Snorlax to move faster. Snorlax dodges an incoming pack of Pokémon before becoming surrounded in a nearby street. The costume drags two Pokémon inside and spits them back out at the other Pokémon in the same manner as the Gurdurr from earlier, also spitting out Infernape in the process. Snorlax rolls to a stop next to a Pokémon sweeping the street. The Pokémon stares at Infernape, who stares back Sheepishly before rushing back beneath the costume. The costume makes its way through the maze-like streets of the city (consuming and expelling Pokémon in the process). before getting stuck in a dead-end corner. The Pokémon surround the costume with swords).

Darmanitan: Now! (The Pokémon impale the costume). Gotcha! (Darmanitan yanks off the costume... only to find that the warriors are now gone leaving behind Oran Berry crates with swords sticking out of them).Spread out, search everywhere!

Gurdurr: What about over there?

Darmanitan: Is there a part of everywhere?

Gurdurr: Uh... I guess.

Darmanitan: Then search there! (Meanwhile Multiple nearby barrels sneak out around a corner unnoticed. The largest barrel topples over, forcing the smallest barrel to push it into the alley. Blaziken stops the barrel, causing the lid to fall off to reveal Snorlax inside).

Snorlax: They must be close; I can feel a Kung Fu chill riding up my spine... (Dragonair slides out of the barrel Snorlax is in).

Dragonair: Sorry, Snorlax, itis just me. (Blaziken stands up and spots a hanging sign on the alley corner).

Blaziken: Look! Crown City Jail. (A Medium Sized Barrel rolls towards the two Gurdurr guarding the jail entrance. They peer over at it).

Darmanitan: Aw, itis cute. (Pause... and then Buzzwole explodes out of the barrel).

Buzzwole: CUTE?! (Buzzwole goes and swings the Pokémon around before knocking them to ground, senseless and tossing two barrels over the unconscious bodies).

(Snorlax and the Five Masters then burst into the jail and take out the guards inside. Snorlax backhands the last Gurdurr without even looking at him).

Blaziken: Nice work, Snorlax.

Infernape: At the first sight of trouble, Iwill give you a signal: Ka-kaw!Kee-kee!

Snorlax: Do you mean like Corviknight does?

Infernape: Yes. (Snorlax and Blaziken leap into the cell area. Corviknight steps up to Infernape and asks).

Corviknight: Excuse me, when have I evermade that noise? (Snorlax and Blaziken peer into the cells as they search for Tyranitar and Feraligatr).

Snorlax: Master Tyranitar? Master... (Snorlax spots a melancholy Master Feraligatr leaning on a cell door in a dark corner of the room without his wounds of his Last Battle with Genesect having healed them in the time since. Snorlax excitedly runs over to Master Feraligatr).The ferocious Master Feraligatr! (Snorlax spots Master Tyranitar inside also without his wounds from their Last Battle with Genesect and his happiness doubles). And Master Storming... Tyranitar! Oh, I cannot believe we are rescuing actual legends of Kung Fu. Weare gonna free you from those bonds of injustice, no problem! (Snorlax begins pulling at the bars). Gotta be a key around here... no they would not leave a key around here...

Blaziken: He-yah! (Blaziken breaks the door off its hinges with Superpower).

Snorlax: Oh great, you found it! (Blaziken excitedly walks off). All right let us go! Weare coming for you, Genesect! Woo-hooo! Wahohohohoooo... (Snorlax turns and falters). ...woo? (Snorlax walks back to the two masters, who have made no move to leave their cell). Guys, are we going, or not? Do you wanna meet us there later? Because I mean, you do want to take back your city, right?

Tyranitar: Of course, we do. (Tyranitar and Feraligatr pick up the door). But if we stand up to Genesect, he will turn the weapon on the city! (They push the door back in place. Snorlax is in shock).

Snorlax: Listen to yourself! Youare protecting Crown City by not protecting Crown City? If we all fight together... (Snorlax steps forward and move the door slightly- and goes backward as Tyranitar pushes on the door).

Tyranitar: Then the weapon would kill... everyone!

Snorlax: Oh, would it? Then wewill use... (Tyranitar swings the door. Snorlax dodges and sidelines into the cell). ...a sneak attack! Wewill get inside, and then...

Feraligatr: And then they will stop you... (They shove Snorlax back outside with the door. Tyranitar cuts through the central bar and forces the two halves into the door frame, fixing the door in place). By the unstoppable weapon!

Snorlax: Nothingis unstoppable except for me when Iam stopping you from telling me somethingis unstoppable! (Snorlax leaps at the door. The door swings horizontally, bring Snorlax inside and knocking Feraligatr outside. Feraligatr and Blaziken look at each other silently- Feraligatr begins Sheepishly tapping on the door. Inside the cell, Snorlax and Tyranitar face each other). Master Tyranitar, Iam not letting you stay in this cell! (Master Storming Tyranitar says Challenging Snorlax).

Tyranitar: I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU GET ME OUT! (Tyranitar grabs Feraligatr's tail, yanking Feraligatr inside while catapulting Snorlax outside with the swinging door. Blaziken catches him upside down, coolly turns him the right way up, and spins him around to face the cell. Snorlax points at her with an awed expression).

Snorlax: You all see that? Itis known as being impressive. (Snorlax makes his way back over to the Cell). Come on, whatever happened to being heroes? (Snorlax leaps back inside the cell. A minor scuffle ensues between the three warriors).

Feraligatr: The only hero in this town is a dead one. (Soon enough, all three warriors are spinning round inside the door. Snorlax eventually ends up going flying away on one side of the door into the Cell, while Tyranitar and Feraligatr separate and fix the door shut on the other side, now outside the Cell).

Tyranitar: Like I said, you are not getting us out of this cell! (Master Storming Tyranitar and Feraligatr notice that they are outside the cell).Oh. (The door falls and smashes to bits. Snorlax gets to his feet and steps out of the cell, triumphant).

Snorlax: Yes! Haha, woohoo! All right let us go! (Snorlax's triumph fades when Tyranitar and Feraligatr walk into the opposite cell and shut the door behind them as Feraligatr says).

Feraligatr: I get the top bunk. (With the Cell Door now Closed, Tyranitar says to Snorlax as Feraligatr sits on of the Top Bed).

Tyranitar: Itis time to surrender, Snorlax... Kung fu is dead. (These words shock Snorlax to the very core. Blaziken and the Five Masters and equally stunned).

Snorlax: Y-you... w-woo... Kung Fu is... de-eaah... fine! (Snorlax turns to say to both Master Tyranitar and Feraligatr disappointed in them). You stay in your prison of fear, with bars made of hopelessness... and all you get are three square meals a day of... shame! (Snorlax then turns away from the 2 Jailed Masters).

Feraligatr: ...With despair for dessert. (Snorlax steps away from the cell).

Snorlax: Wewill take on Genesectand prove to all those who are hungry for justice... and honor... that Kung Fu still lives! (Snorlax Declares raising his Fist in the Air before one of the other prisoners, a Trevenant says flatly with Faux Enthusiasm).

Trevenant: Yes... (Tyranitar looks down).
