Now that I think about it, Hau would've made a better entrance involving Team Rocket. Has Hala ever mentioned a grandson cuz its pretty late for him to appear with the league closing in. Team Skull is every other episode so its hard to say for the leader Guzma. They need better timings for appearances from team skull and Hau. If Hau got his starter before the series start, it's taking a century to let him meet Ash.
Time to get Pika-Paradise over with. This one was confusing and annoying with Pika-speech. Either talk normally or say 'Pika! Pi! Pika! Pikachu!'. Whatever the case, Ashchu is back just not in the same way Johto made him. Suspicious that the rest of the class isn't around. Sub claims Pikarla, dub claims Pikala, questionable pika-naming for a human.
Kiawe, Mimo, Ash and Pikachu find their way to a place that was filled with alolan pikachu everywhere they looked. Momo was beaming with excitement spotting the plethora of Pikachu scampering around.
"Awesome. There's so many pikachu in one place." says Mimo sparkly eyed.
"Pikachu can play with its own kind again!" says Ash excitedly.
"Again?" wonders Mimo looking at Ash.
"Well, that is, I haven't seen droves of pikachu since I started journeying." says Ash.
"How long are your journeys!?" wonders Mimo.
Ash merely shrugged.
"This place is called Pikachu valley. The rumors were true!" says Rotom dex.
"I wanna play too Pikachu!" says Mimo following Pikachu into the valley.
"Momo! We can't trespass!" says Kiawe reaching out his hand.
"Let's go Kiawe!" says Ash happily.
After tripping itself, Pikachu rolled down into the valley bumping into a girl. The girl that was oddly dressed as a pikachu saw Ash's Pikachu and immediately picked it up to nuzzle.
"Alola guests, Pika!" says the girl making a pose.
"Huh?" wonder Ash and Kiawe.
"Welcome! Pika-Pikachu." says the girl smiling.
Pikachu went wide eyed at what was being said.
"What a wonderful Pikachu." says the girl.
The girl gasped before touching Pikachu's feet while Pikachu stared blankly in confusion.
"Wait a pika-minute! I pika-know! It's front legs and cheeks...this is a pika-kanto pikachu!" says the girl excitedly.
"Uhhhhhh huh?" wonder Kiawe and Ash staring blankly.
"Wow, how'd you know?" wonders Ash.
"The shine of its pika-fur gives it away. A kanto Pikachu reflects sunlight with a pika-sparkle. Whereas, an alolan pikachu gives off a pika-glossy complexion." says the girl petting Pikachu.
"How are you able to tell the difference?" wonders Ash frowning.
"Well, every day is a school day." says Rotom dex thoughtfully.
"Where are your other Pika-friends?" wonders the girl.
"Friends?" wonder Kiawe and Ash.
"Pika-friends!" says the girl.
"Our classmates weren't interested and my new friends said something along the lines of 'We can basically show electricity through going super saiyan so seeing electric pokemon up close is pointless.'. Caulifla's words not Kale and Cabba's." says Ash sweat dropping.
"Pika-What?" wonders the girl.
"Everyone else declined so Kiawe brought his little sister with me. Hazzel is jealous that she didnt get a starter and passed even though she could've brought her kanto pikachu too." says Ash awkwardly.
"You have a friend with a kanto Pikachu?" wonders the girl.
"She along with two boys chose a pokemon from viridian forest as their first pokemon when they could've went to professor Oak. Wasted opportunity. Since the boys gained a proper starter here from Hala, she really wants to see him and I'm not sure when that will be." says Ash scratching his head.
"Makes Pika-sense to me." says the girl.
"Sure." says Ash reverting his eyes nodding.
"Sounds interesting!" says Mimo waving her arms excitedly.
"Everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you! I'm your big sis Pikarla-Pika!" says Pikarla doing a pose.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too. We caught word of this place and decided to come and play." says Ash.
"That makes me happy-pika! Let the Pikachu wash over you-pika!" says Pikarla.
"Aren't you gonna ask who informed us?" wonders Ash.
"Let's waste no time and..." says Pikarla sinisterly.
Pikarla gives everyone, including Rotom, a set of Pikachu ear headbands and tails leaving the trio dumbfounded.
"Why not something more boyish for Ash and myself?" wonders Kiawe.
"I'd give you a Pika-cap with Pikachu ears but all I have are Pika-headbands to go with an adorable pika-tail." says Pikarla admiring everyone.
"Cutest thing I have ever seen!" says Momo looking at her tail.
"I guess you're Mimochu from now on." says Kiawe watching Mimo twirl around.
"Even I'm a Pikachu now, I suppose." says Rotom dex.
"Like my headband and tail Pikachu?" wonders Ash.
Pikachu tilted its head in confusion.
"Alright, now your big sis Pikarla wants you to make the promises of Pikachu valley." says Pikarla clapping her hands.
"Promises?" wonder Kiawe and Ash.
"Pika-Exactly! First, you have to make your heart Pikachu-Pika! Second, to love all Pikachu-pika! Third, to have 'Pika!' at the end of every sentence-Pika!" says Pikarla.
"Can't we talk normal?" wonders Kiawe.
"Here, you have to use Pikanese-pika!" says Pikarla.
"Like this-pikachu?" wonders Rotom dex.
"Hold it right there. I'm afraid you don't pika-understand. Every sentence has to have pika tucked in somewhere." says Pikarla.
"I'll give it a pika-try." says Rotom dex confused.
"I don't think Rotom is cut out for this." says Ash awkwardly.
"You got it-pika! Anyone who can uphold these promises will be a resident of Pikachu valley; a Pikafriend-pika. Ready to tell your names in Pikanese-pika?" says Pikarla giving a thumbs up.
"I'm Ashchu-pika." says Ash.
"No, never add your name to the last letters of Pikachu-pika." says Pikarla.
"Oh, then my name is Ash-pika." says Ash.
"Mimochu sounds cute but call me pika-Mimo!" says Mimo raising her hand.
"And you can call me pika-kiawe." says Kiawe awkwardly.
"Great! I'd like to make it PikAsh, Pikamo and Pikawe-Pika." says Pikarla shaking side to side.
"Wouldn't adding Chu to the end of our names make better sense?" wonders Ash.
"Putting Pika before the names is much cuter-pika." says Pikarla.
"I'm PikAsh instead of Ashchu?" wonders Ash frowning.
"Pikamo sounds cute!" says Mimo.
"Pi-Pikawe!?" wonders Kiawe weirded out.
"Good pika-grief!" says Rotom dex setting its arm on its head.
"Can't forget about you Pika-Rotom." says Pikarla.
"Pika-Rotom!?" wonders Rotom dex taken aback.
"It's fine! You'll get used to it in no time-pika! All five senses must fully embrace the Pikachu-Pika! If they do, the love for Pikachu will spread through your entire being making the whole world turn Pikachu-pika!" says Pikarla.
"Now you try pika-Ash!" says Pikarla.
"Alright! I'm Pika-Ash-Pika!" says Ash.
"I'm loving the name Pika-Mimo!" says Mimo.
"I'm...I'm..." says Kiawe nervously.
"Try it Kiawe." says Ash.
"Are you embarrassed big pika-bro?" wonders Mimo.
"I'm not embarrassed. I wasn't prepared to take on the Pikachu life is all." says Kiawe turning his head.
"Where's the pika-pika?" wonders Mimo annoyed.
"Pika.." whispers Kiawe.
"I didn't pikahear you-pika. Tell us what you pikasaid." says Pikarla slyly.
"All you have to do is be one with the pikachu. Say Pika-Pikachu!" says Ash.
"Pika-true! Just Pika-try it." says Rotom dex.
"Let your pikachu hype pika-be. Fill your pika-heart with the love of hope." says Pikarla popping up behind Kiawe.
"Pika-brother...please be pika-good and join in." says Mimo saddening.
"Pikamo, I'll pikachu with you. Pikawe and Pikamo will enjoy Pikachu valley together!" says Kiawe falling to his knees upon seeing the cuteness of his sister.
"Great, big brother-Pika!" says Mimo.
"Good pika, good pika. Saying 'Pika' clears the clouds within your heart! It feels wonderful-pika!" says Pikarla nodding.
"This is the best-Pika!" says Kiawe spinning around.
"Big bro! You're so cute-pika!" says Mimo.
"Thank you-pika!" says Kiawe smiling at Mimo.
Kiawe notices some pikachu nearby and kneels down to great the bunch.
"Pleasure to meet you-pika! Pikaleasure to meet you!" says Kiawe giddily.
Kiawe soon finds a Pikachu-decorated van called the Pikachu House.
"Pika!? Everything here is Pikachu colored-Pika!" says Kiawe.
"That's right-pika! That's the Pikachu house-Pika!" says Pikarla.
"Heh? I wanna see what's inside-pika!" says Mimo starry eyed.
"Alright, your big bro will take a look-pika." says Kiawe.
Kiawe attempts to enter but is stopped after two Pikachu jump out. Kiawe looks inside the van and is then knocked to the ground by a horde of Pikachu.
"Nice-pika." says Ash chuckling.
"So many pikachu...so much fun-pika..." says Kiawe.
"Are all these Pikachu yours-Pika?" wonders Mimo poking Kiawe with a stick.
"That's right-pika! Morning, afternoon and night, I'm always getting more pikachu-pika! I'll keep on getting more-pika! Any Pikachu lovers will always be welcomed here-pika." says Pikarla.
"Pikachu has been by my side since the beginning! We've been through everything ever since professor Oak gave me my Pikachu. Right Pikachu?" says Ash happily looking down to see no pikachu at his side.
"Over that pika-way." says Rotom dex pointing at Pikachu.
Everyone's attention soon turns to Ash's Pikachu, who finds himself surrounded by Pikala's cautious Pikachu.
"They're cautious of him-pika." says Pikarla.
"Cautious-Pika?" wonders Ash looking Pikarla.
"Because he's from Kanto-pika." says Pikarla.
"Think of him like a transfer student-pika. Like you with Pokemon school-pika." says Mimo.
"Now that's a pika-brave female pikachu." says Rotom dex.
"Pika? Pika?" wonders Ash.
"You never spotted a pika-female pikachu?" wonders Rotom dex.
"If I did, it's been forever since Pikachu and I have seen droves of pikachu-pika." says Ash.
"When you see a pikachu's tail, you can tell a female and male apart by the heart shaped tail, meaning it's a pika-girl." says Rotom dex.
"That one's got curly bangs so I like to call her Curly." says Pikarla setting her cheek on her hands.
"Pika-Curly is so cute." says Mimo.
Curly, one of Pikala's female Pikachu, approaches Ash's Pikachu and exchanges a tail to greet him. The other Pikachu follow suit, and the attention begins to overwhelm Ash's Pikachu. He resorts to posing, but the act is not well-received and the female Pikachu quickly walk away.
"Huh? They all left-pika." says Ash bummed.
"Your Pikachu misunderstood the greeting and thought he was a real stud-pika." says Pikarla.
"Greeting-Pika?" wonders Ash looking at Pikarla.
"Alolan Pikachu greet eachother by sniffing eachother and rubbing their tails together-pika. The female pikachu come to say hi first so your pikachu thought it was popular with the ladies-pika." says Pikarla.
"Cmon! My Pikachu is cool though." says Ash.
The males soon sniff and shake tails with Ash's Pikachu.
"After the girls, it's the boys' turn to say hi-pika." says Pikarla.
Suddenly, a large ring of electricity surrounds the group, which develops into a thundercloud forming a bolt of lightning that strikes the Pikachu.
"Pika! Pika!" says Ash stunned.
"Pika-thunderclouds." says Rotom dex.
"They're so silky and glowy-pika!" says Mimo.
"This is the secret behind Alolan Pikachu's silky fur-pika. When the pikachu rub their tails together, it generates an electric current-pika. It summons thunderclouds then BANG bringing down a massive bolt of thunder-pika! The natural electric power boosts their energy a hundredfold making them all silky and glowy-pika!" says Pikarla.
"Pikachu's gotten all silky too-pika!" says Ash.
"I want them to come to our farm too-pika!" says Mimo.
"Great idea-pika! Big bro agrees-pika!" says Kiawe.
team rocket...
A familiar Mimikyu watches the group of Pikachu and begins to shudder in anger.
"Why'd you let Mimikyu out?" wonders James freaked out.
"This was obviously gonna happen." says Meowth.
"Once Mimikyu senses Pikachu around, it lets itself out." says Jessie.
"But you know, this might be our chance." says James leaning back.
"Chance?" wonder Jessie and Meowth.
"If Mimikyu goes wild against those Pikachu, it'll make for a brilliant distraction! We can use the distraction to take the twerp's pokemon. It's perfect!" says James.
"That's a great idea but which pikachu is his?" wonders Jessie pointing at the pikachu.
Wobuffet wasn't so sure himself.
"Well, figuring it out would be a huge pain, so we might as well get them all at once." says Jessie.
"How?" wonder Meowth and James.
"Isn't it obvious? Right Mimikyu?" wonders Jessie.
pikachu valley...
"It's silky smooth, Pika!" says Ash petting Pikachu.
"Let me feel it too! It really is smooth-pika!" says Mimo petting Pikachu.
"Really-pika?" wonders Kiawe setting his hand on Pikachu, "This is such a luxorious feature-pika. It's almost like silk or velvet-pika." getting teary eyed.
"Right? Just looking at these darlings makes you happy-pika." says Pikarla.
"Pikachu, are you glad we came-pika? Look at all the friends you get to have-pika!" says Ash.
Mimo and Pikala are excited to see Curly seems to have fallen in love with Ash's Pikachu.
"Huh? It's Curly-Pika!" says Ash watching the pikachu.
"Maybe her heart's gone aflutter over Pika-Ash's Pikachu-pika!" says Mimo.
"It's possible-pika. He's gotten more appealing after his fur became silky smooth-pika!" says Pikarla.
However, Ash's Pikachu isn't enjoying the extra attention and resorts to running away but Curly follows.
"Hey, don't run from her Pikachu-pika! She wants to be friendly-pika!" says Ash.
"Pikachu's just spineless-pika." says Mimo frowning.
"But it looks like Curly's heart really went aflutter over your pikachu-pika." says Pikarla.
A bolt of electricity strikes Pikachu's tail, taking him by surprise. Another one hits just as Curly attempts to hand Pikachu a Lum Berry.
"Someone sent a pika-electric shock toward pikachu." says Rotom dex.
The source of the attacks is soon revealed to be a Shiny Pikachu with an Elvis hairdo. Curly scampered over to the shiny Pikachu and his goons to yell at the pikachu for being rude yet was ignored upon seeing Ash's Pikachu being around Curly.
"Huh?" wonders Ash.
"That Pikachu has an unusual color." says Rotom dex.
"Wow! I've never seen pika-anything like pika-that before!" says Mimo.
"That Pika-coloring sure was a pika-new one on me. That's a pika-boss and it's been in love with Curly for a long time." says Pikarla.
"That's adorable! Now there's a love triangle right before our eyes." says Mimo.
"Except, Pikachu isn't sure how to retaliate Curly's pika-affection." says Ash.
"They're so cute. A story about two Pikachu pika-competing for another's pika-love." says Mimo admiring the fighting pikachu.
"C-c-Competing!? Where did you pika-learn about that?" wonders Kiawe.
"I'd say the boss doesn't want to accept your pikachu as part of the group. The boss Pikachu doesn't take to well to pika-outsiders." says Pikarla.
The two males soon confront each other, and the Boss strikes Pikachu with his pompadour hairstyle. Curly manages to separate the pair.
"Pikachu this isn't the time for fighting-pika!" says Ash worriedly.
The Boss strikes him with a bolt of electricity and the conflict ensues. The Boss and Pikachu exchange electric attacks, summoning Pikala's other Pikachu to watch the duel unfold.
"Matching one electric attack with another electric attack is a sign that a battle is about to begin." says Pikarla.
"Huh? A battle?" wonders Ash.
"This is Pikachu against Pikachu, people really shouldn't get pika-involved." says Pikarla.
"Just what are the rules for pika-battles?" wonders Rotom dex.
"The battle winner is the one who pika-bites the other one's tail." says Pikarla.
The Boss makes the first move and rushes forward, but Pikachu sends out several sparks through his tail. The distraction almost works but the Boss manages to avoid Pikachu's sneaky attempt.
"So close-pika!" says Mimo.
The Boss uses Volt Tackle, but Pikachu jumps into the air and traps the Boss in an Electroweb. Pikachu slowly walks up to the Boss and bites down on his tail, earning himself the victory.
"You did it Pikachu!" say Ash, Kiawe and Mimo happily.
"Your Pikachu is an experienced pika-battler." says Pikarla.
In an act of good sportsmanship, Pikachu clears the Electroweb with his tail and helps the Boss onto his feet. The Boss grabs Pikachu's hand and hoists it up into the air to officially declare Pikachu as the winner.
"This is awesome-pika!" says Ash.
Curly runs out of the crowd and goes onto rubs her nose with both the Boss and Ash's Pikachu, causing the two males to blush.
Just as the Pikachu begin to celebrate, Mimikyu appears amongst the group and quickly surrounds itself in an angry haze.
"That's...pika!" says Ash.
"Oh my! A pikachu pika-cosplayer!" says Pikarla.
"That's a pokemon pika-called Mimikyu!" says Rotom dex looking at Pikarla.
"Mimikyu? Wow, what a great pika-cosplay!" says Pikarla excitedly.
Jessie, James and Meowth soon arrive on the scene.
"Do it now Mimikyu! Suddenly..." says Jessie.
"We're on a..." says James.
"Pika-mission." says Meowth.
"Team Pika-Rocket!" says Ash annoyed.
"Prepare for trouble with pounds to pika-pluck." says Jessie.
"And make it double with pounds of pika-luck!" says James tossing his rose.
"A beauty so radiant, the flowers and moon hide in shame. A single flower of evil alone in this fleeting world! Pika-Jessie." says Jessie.
"The nobly heroic man of our times. The master of darkness fighting back against a tragic world! It's Pika-James." says James.
"It's all for one and one for all. I'm a glittering dark star that always shines bright while Pika-Meowth takes flight!" says Meowth.
"Team rocket! Let's pika-fight!" say Jessie and James,
"Pika-right!" says Meowth.
Wobuffet soon appeared.
"Alright, wait a second-pika." says Pikarla putting headbands and tails on team rocket.
Pikarla went back over to Kiawe, Mimo and Ash to look at the new guests happily.
"Good-pika, good-pika. You're overflowing with a thundering love for Pikachu-pika!" says Pikarla.
"Huh? What is this?" wonder Jessie and James stunned.
"Whatever! Let's go!" says Jessie holding her arm up to show the z ring with Mimikium Z on it.
"Mimikyu it's time to show off those pika-lugs what's under your cloth!" says Meowth.
Jessie twists her Mimikium Z on her Z-Power Ring, and she, James, Meowth and Wobbuffet perform a group Z-Move.
"Now it's time to use Let's Snuggle Forever!" says Jessie.
The Z-Power passes onto Mimikyu who goes on to drape its cloth over the Pikachu and unleash the nightmarish Let's Snuggle Forever move.
"What's that?" wonders Mimo.
"No, no, no, no, no!" says Pikarla worriedly.
"I just realized if I could keep up my full power of the z move, the z move stays at full power." says Jessie staying in the pose.
"And that's why Mimikyu can stay at full power and none of those pikachu can do a thing about it." says Meowth.
"No way you're gonna keep that pika-pose!" says Mimo.
"Of course this'll work!" says James running away with Meowth.
"It's in the bag! Keep it up!" says Meowth.
"Must keep myself from standing straight." says Jessie feeling her leg getting tired.
"Give them all Pika-back!" says Ash.
"What!? The twerp's pikachu didn't get caught?" wonders Jessie.
James and Meowth soon return with the Meowth balloon, and Wobbuffet retrieves Jessie as she continues to hold her Z-Pose.
"Let's make a deal." says Meowth.
"If you just give yourselves up quietly and without a fuss, we'll let the other Pikachu go." says James.
Mimikyu floats into the air with the Pikachu still trapped inside its cloth, and the new discovery thrills James.
"Here's something new, with the Let's Snuggle Forever move, we can keep the air inside Mimikyu's body and then float it into the air." says James.
"Whatya have to say about that!" says Jessie.
Just as Kiawe reaches for a Poké Ball, Pikala stops him.
"Pika-wait! They're my Pikachu, so I'll be the one to pika-rescue them!" says Pikarla showing her z ring.
"She has a pika-z ring?" wonders Ash stunned.
"Pika-boss, pika-go!" says Pikarla doing the movements.
"A Pikachu pika-z move!" says Rotom dex.
"With a pika-pika and a Pikachu! When pika pikas, it will be the ultimate powerful z move! Use catastropika!" says Pikarla holding boss close.
The surge of energy strikes Mimikyu, causing it to release all the Pikachu, and Team Rocket are sent blasting off.
"That pika-did it!" says Pikarla.
"Pikacu, Pika-Electroweb!" says Ash.
Ash's Pikachu sends out an Electroweb, which breaks the fall of Pikala's Pikachu, and the Boss catches Curly in his arms.
"Look, those two have fallen in pika-love." says Mimo.
"Fallen in pika-love!? Tell me how you learned about these things!" wonders Kiawe tearing up infront of Mimo.
team rocket...
Bewear manages to catch Team Rocket just before they hit the ground.
"Huh? What is this feeling?" wonder Team Rocket bummed.
Pikachu valley...
"That was pika-awesome! Ultimate move:Catastropika!" says Ash sparkly eyed.
"Pikachu should beable to use it too." says Mimo looking at Ash.
"It can't be used until a Pikachu pika-learns volt tackle." says Rotom dex.
"Could've sworn Pikachu knew that move. He pika-learns so many each region." says Ash.
"You have to go by the alolan Pikachu pika-movesets." says Rotom dex.
"Oh-pika." says Ash rubbing the back of his head.
"Yay! All of you are pika-ok!" says Pikarla nuzzling the pikachu.
