Hi, everyone! It's time for another chapter of DC Superhero Girls and Aura Guardian Season Two! I hope you like birthdays! Because that's what today's chapter is all about! And now, on with the story!
*I DON'T OWN POKÉMON OR DC SUPERHERO GIRLS!*
Today was a special day in Metropolis, as Ash and Zee woke up!
Zee: [sighs] [singing]
Thanksgiving's grand And Easter's sweet
And Christmas sure is nice
But the only day I wish came twice
Is Happy Birthday Zee
Yes, it's my birthday
It's my birthday
Happy Birthday to me
I wish everyday Was my birthday
Happy birthday to Zee
Yeah, it's the best time Of the year
When my friends and my boyfriend all show me That they care
With cake and fun No expenses
Happy birthday Zee
Yes, it's my birthday
It's my birthday
Happy Birthday to me
I wish everyday Was my birthday
Happy birthday to Zee
Happy birthday to Zee!
Later at the base, everyone was hanging out for Zee's "birthday"!
Everyone: Happy birthday to Zee
Zee: Not bad. But can we try it one more time? Maybe with a bit more... zhoom?
Diana, Kara, Babs, Jessica, and Karen: Ugh!
Kara: You've made us sing this dumb song 50 times already!
Incineroar: [complaining] INCINEROAR!
Ash: Well, I don't mind singing it again! But I have a much better birthday song for you, Zee Zee!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Zee: You do, Ashykins?
Ash: Sure do! [to his other friends] Hit it, guys!
Ash and his other Trainer friends: [singing] Birthday, Happy Birthday, it's a Happy Happy Birthday song. Birthday, Happy Birthday, it's a Happy Happy Birthday song. A special wish and a birthday gift, memories you can keep. With Zee and her friends, the fun never ends so let's party with a woohoohoo.
Birthday, Happy Birthday, it's a Happy Happy Birthday song. Birthday, Happy Birthday, it's a Happy Happy Birthday song.
It's a Happy Happy Birthday Song!
After it ended...
Zee: [clapping and applauding] Oh, bravo, Ashykins! That was wonderful!
Ash: Thanks, Zee! I'm glad you liked it!
Zee: Liked it?! I loved it!
Ash: Awesome!
Serena: We're glad, Zee!
Goh: Happy birthday, Zee!
Cinderace: CINDERACE!
Inteleon: INTELEON!
Grookey: GROOKEY!
Diana: Perhaps it is time to move on to a different part of the festivities.
Karen: Like presents!
Sam: Yeah! [as she, Alex and Clover push over a two gift boxes, a large one and a short one] Here! This is from us and everyone at WOOHP Headquarters!
Zee: [gasps excitedly]
Karen: [pulls out a present] This is from all of us.
Zee: Oh! All of you? It's a bit small to be the pony I asked for. [chuckles] Kidding! Kidding!
Ash: [giggles] Good one! Oh yeah! [pulls out a gift] Here, Zee! I got this for you!
Zee: Really? Ooh! I wonder what it is? And which should I open first?
Alex: [gives her the large one] Open this one!
Zee: Okay! [opens the present]
When she opened it, it revealed to be a robot butler!
Zee: [gasps] A robot butler?!
Clover: Yep! One of Jerry's latest inventions! This is a much better one since the first attempt with the prototype!
Sam: [pushes over the shorter one] Now open this one!
Zee: Okay! [opens it]
When she opened it, it revealed to be a red metal box! Zee was a little puzzled!
N: Oh? What's this?
Zee: Yeah! What is it?
Sam: You'll see! [pulls out duct tape and goes over to Ash] First, we need the trigger word! [puts some tape on Ash and pulls it off of him]
Ash: OW! SAM OW!
That word activated the thing and what appeared and blew up was a white balloon-like robot!
Sam: Does this answer your question?
Then, the robot stepped out of the thing and went over to Ash and Zee!
Baymax: Hello! I am Baymax! Your personal healthcare companion!
Ash and Zee: Huh?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Sylveon: SYLVE?
Baymax: I was alerted to the needs of medical attention when you said "ow"!
Sam: Jerry got the idea from some kid named Hiro! He called the kid, shared the data with him, sent the blueprints and well, here it is! Whatcha think? You like it?
Zee smiled widely at this!
Zee: I love it! Especially the robot butler! Thanks, Sam! Alex! Clover!
Sam: Our pleasure!
Zee: Now, I wonder what Ashykins got me!
Ash: Oh no, Zee! Save it for tomorrow! It's a surprise!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Zee: Ooh! I do love surprises!
Serena/Usagi: [hands Zee a small gift box] We got you something too, Zee!
Rini: Open it! Open it!
Zee: Okay! Okay! [opens it]
When she opened it, it revealed to be a some kind diamond-like circlish crystal, but it was made from little triangles and it was made as a pendant necklace!
Luna: It's an exact crystal replica of our Imperium Silver Crystal! It's not as magical as the real one, but it still looks and feels like the Imperium Silver Crystal!
Artemis: Do you like it, Miss Zatara?
She squealed like a fangirl!
Zee: I love it!
Diana (Sailor Moon): We're glad you do!
Luna: After all, it was all Artemis' idea!
Artemis: Me? I thought it was your idea?
Zee then picked up Artemis and hugged him!
Zee: I don't care whose idea it was! I still love it anyway!
Goh: [nervous] Um, Zee! I have something for you too!
Zee: You do? What is it, Goh?
Goh: [hands her a Great Ball] H-Here!
Kara: Seriously? A blue PokéBall?
Ash: That's actually a Great Ball!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Zee: A Great Ball?
Mina: What's a Great Ball?
Ash: It's an improved variant of the regular PokéBall that can be used to catch wild Pokémon.
Pikachu: PIKA PI!
Zee: [smiles] I love it! [hugs Goh] Oh, thank you, Goh! Thank you!
Goh: Oh! You're welcome, Zee!
Zee: [to Babs, Diana, Jessica, Kara, and Karen] I know you're probably saving your big gifts for tomorrow.
Babs: Uh, what's tomorrow?
Zee: It's my actual birthday, silly.
Karen: [gasps]
Serena/Usagi: Tomorrow! Oh man!
Clover: We should've waited until tomorrow!
Kara: You mean to tell me we've been wearing party hats that cut off our circulation for nothing?!
Incineroar: ROAR?!
Zee: Not for nothing. For my pre-birthday!
Lillie: A pre-birthday?
Vulpix (Snowy): VUL?
Diana: Uh, "pre-birthday" is not a thing.
Zee: It's totally a thing.
Babs: Wait. So, does this mean we're doing all this celebrating again tomorrow?
Zee: Of course, not! Tomorrow we're doing way more! It's all right here in my Birthday Binder. [pulls out a binder and uses her magic to scroll through it] There are activities and gift ideas, in order from most expensive to even more expensive. So, you have options.
[all gasp]
Bonnie: Wowie!
Dedenne: DENNE!
Clemont: You really know how to go all out, Zee!
Zee: [flips her hair] Indeed I do, my dear!
Ash: [excited] Oh man! This is gonna be awesome! I'm so excited!
Pikachu: [excited] PIKA PI!
Zee: [hugs him] Me too, Ashy!
Kara: [smirks] Looks like you're gonna have to spend every last dime, li'l bro!
Zee: Absolutely not!
Kara: WHAT?!
Zee: [cuddles Ash][with a bunch of hearts around them] My Ashy Washy isn't gonna spend a penny unless it's absolutely necessary!
Ash: [blushes] Aww!
Zee: Besides, this gift he's given me must be super special!
Ash: Yeah! Zee, tomorrow when your real birthday comes, you're gonna love it!
Zee: I just know I will!
Buttercup: I don't understand why you have to make this so special!
Zee: [cuddles] Well, there wouldn't be anything better than spending my birthday with my sweet Ashypoo!
Then, all of Zee's Pokémon came around her!
Zee: And of course, my Pokémon pals!
Sylveon: [happy] SYLVEON!
Haunter: [happy] HAUNTER!
Sableye: [happy] SABLEYE!
Kangaskhan: [happy] KANGA!
Ralts (Airalin): [happy] RALTS!
Mismagius: [happy] MISMAGIUS!
Vulpix: [happy] VUL!
Gible: [happy] GIBLE!
Zee: [to Babs, Diana, Jessica, Kara, and Karen] I'll let you peruse in case you wanna do a little extra last-minute shopping. Ooh! Let me get volume two! [squeals]
[all exclaim]
Jessica: I love Zee, but when it comes to her birthday she could be a little-
Kara: Banana-wanacray-cray sundae.
[all laugh]
Diana: In my homeland, if someone exhibits this behavior, we put them on a boat to row 500 miles with no food or water until they return to their senses. Or meet their death.
[all laugh]
What they didn't know is that Zee overheard their conversation and became hurt!
Sylveon: [sad] SYLVE!
Then, she used her magic to teleport her and her Pokémon away!
Ash: [angry] Girls! I can't believe what I just heard!
Pikachu: [angry] PIKACHU!
Clover: [angry] That was totally cold!
Kiawe: [angry] Not cool!
Lillie: [angry] You should be ashamed of yourselves!
Babs: Umm...
Ash: You know what?! I'm done hanging out with you girls!
Alex: Us too! Let's get out of here before we catch their uncoolness!
Kara: Wait, what?! [as Ash starts to leave] Bro! C'mon! You don't really mean that?
Ash: This really means a lot to Zee, and you five are treating it like some big joke!
Blossom: [angry] How can you all be so cruel?!
Goh: [angry] You girls are just like everyone else I meet!
Babs: [gasps]
Karen: W-What's that supposed to mean?
Goh: [turns his head away] None of your business!
Lita: If you ask me, you're becoming just like that coldhearted criminal, Professor Coldheart!
Babs: We are not!
Mina: You not caring about Zee's birthday is basically proof enough!
Kiawe: [angry] I knew you were unworthy of a Z-Ring, Barbara!
Babs: [gasps] But...but I...
Ash then started to leave!
Jessica: Ash, wait!
Ash: Save it! I don't wanna hear any of your excuses! I'm gone! [to his Pokémon] Come on, guys! Let's go!
And his Pokémon followed him!
Diana: Serena, please!
Serena: Hmph!
Serena/Usagi: Double hmph!
Babs: Darien, no!
Darien: Nope!
Karen: Rini, please don't go!
Rini: Hmph!
Jessica: Mallow!
Mallow: Hmph!
Tsareena: [turns its head away] REENA!
Babs: Lana!
But Lana turned her head away sadly!
Kara: Gladion, c'mon! We only said that because-
Gladion: [angry] Don't bother!
Soon, everyone left, and the girls started to regret the things they said! Meanwhile, Zee was in her bedroom and angry!
Zee: Hmph! My friends don't want to celebrate my favorite time of year? Fine! [singing]
Thanksgiving's grand And Easter's sweet
And Christmas sure is nice
But the only day I wish came twice
Is Happy Birthday Zee
Suddenly, her magic started to glow dark blue!
Sylveon: SYLVE?
Instead of joy I've hit the bottom
Nobody cares I feel forgotten
Surely, all my friends Should see
How wonderful Birthdays should be
If my friends with see
How important Birthdays should be
Then, the blue magic disappeared.
Zee: [sighs] Wow, felt good to get that off my chest! Ha. [cuddles Sylveon] Who's my sweet and fabulous Pokémon? You are! Yes you are!
But Sylveon was concerned about Zee and what just happened!
Sylveon: [concerned] SYLVE!
Zee: What's the matter, my dear Sylveon?
Sylveon: [asking what that strange blue magic was] SYLVEON SYLVE?
Zee: It was probably nothing!
Then, Ash came in with Sam, Alex, Clover, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup!
Ash: [pouting] Hmph!
Pikachu: [pouting] PIKA PI!
Zee: Hey, Ashykins! You feeling okay?
Ash: [pouting] Not really!
Zee: What's the matter?
Ash: I'm really angry at the girls for making fun of your birthday!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Alex: Yeah! They weren't being nice at all!
Lycanroc: [pouting] ROC!
Zee: Hey, it's best not to worry about it! If they don't wanna care, then that's their problem!
Ash: I guess you're right! [smiles] Tell you what, Zee? Tomorrow, we're gonna have a huge day out and have a bunch of fun for your birthday!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Zee: [happy] Yay! I knew you'd care, Ashykins! [to the Spies and the Powerpuff Girls Z] You girls wanna stay over for the night?
Sam: Sure! I don't see why not!
Clover: Yeah! We could even have a slumber party of our own!
Ash: [notices Serena coming in] Hey, Serena!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Serena: Hey, you guys!
Blossom: We're gonna have a sleepover! Wanna join?
Serena: Sure! What would you all like to do first?
Ash: I know! How about scary stories? And I know a good one that's been in Kanto all these years!
Alex: Ooh!
Little did they know, the strange magic Zee released was heading in five different directions to the girls' homes, as they were asleep!
Diana, Babs, Jessica, Kara, and Karen: [as their eyes glowed blue] [sings] Happy birthday to Zee
Then, the magic went into their Pokémon too! The next morning...
Ash: [yawns]
Zee: [yawns]
Pikachu: [yawns] CHA...
Ash: [to Zee] [smiles] Morning, birthday girl.
Zee: Morning, hun!
Ash: Today is gonna be all about you!
Zee: [hugs Ash] It sure is, Ashykins!
Diana, Babs, Jessica, Kara, and Karen: [as they jump out] Happy birthday, Zee!
Ash: [startled] WHOA!
Pikachu: [startled] PIKA!
Zee: [as the girls pull her out of bed] You guys! I thought you were over my birthday stuff.
Ash: Yeah! What's going on?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Karen: Your birthday is like one of the biggest days of the year!
Diana: And we shall celebrate with a revelry that would make Mount Olympus himself quake!
Zee: Aw. Thanks, everyone! Look I know I can get a little carried away around my birthday.
Ash: [rubs his neck sheepishly] And I guess I was pretty harsh on you girls yesterday!
Zee: But what really matters is that you've all finally come around!
Ash: Yeah! Come on! Let's go have some fun!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Soon, our heroes were at the boardwalk! The Spies and the Powerpuff Girls joined in on the fun too! Karen gave Zee a bunch of balloons, one of which was magic and had the letter 'P' on it! Then, Kara did a test of strength game and knocked the bell clean off from the block! She was able to win Zee a bunch of large stuffed animals! Then, there was a shooting game to hit the target! Ash decided to play as he pulled out a magic Fire Flower that he found the other day and got fire power as he shot fireballs at the targets! It was enough to win giant Pikachu plush! Zee even decided to share it with Ash! Next, they went to a rollercoaster ride! Zee was about to get on, but a little girl went on before her, which made Diana give her a threatening glare and she got scared into letting Zee get on first! Ash went and sat next to Zee and Diana sat from behind as she gave the girl an 'I'm watching you' look! Then, the ride started and Ash clung to Zee! He doesn't like rollercoasters much! Later, they were at Sweet Justice!
Zee: Well, I am exhausted. Thanks for an amazing birthday, girls.
Ash: Yeah! I sure had fun!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Serena: Me too!
Goh: Me three!
Babs: Oh, but that was just your pre-sundae. Here's your real birthday sundae.
Then, she was given a huge ice cream sundae!
Ash: Whoa my gosh!
Goh: That huge sundae?!
Lillie: Nobody could eat that much in one sitting!
Kiawe: It's impossible! And, unless a Morelull was around here, then it would be possible! But since there isn't...
Ash: Well, I can always help you eat it, Zee Zee!
But then, Jessica slapped Ash's hand, making him drop the spoon!
Ash: Ow! What was that for, Jess?!
Pikachu: [angry] PIKA!
Lillie: That wasn't nice!
Vulpix (Snowy): VUL!
Diana: And a pre-sundae is totally a thing.
Kara: Let's sing "Happy Birthday" again.
Goh: Huh?
Diana, Babs, Jessica, Kara, and Karen: [singing] Happy birthday to Zee!
Zee: Uh, you really don't need to sing anymore. Let's just call it a night.
Diana: No! Let us not!
Pikachu, Chespin, Pancham, Airalin, Togedemaru, and Grookey were about to have some of the ice cream, when...
Diana: [ties them up with her lasso] [growls]
Pikachu: [sweat drops] PIKACHU!
Chespin: [sweat drops] CHESPIN!
Pancham: [sweat drops] PANCHAM!
Airalin (Ralts): [sweat drops] RALTS!
Togedemaru: [sweat drops] TOGEDEMARU!
Grookey: [sweat drops] GROOKEY!
Then, she spun them around and they were thrown against the wall!
Pikachu: [hitting the wall] PIKACHU!
Chespin: [hitting the wall] CHESPIN!
Pancham: [hitting the wall] PANCHAM!
Ralts (Airalin): [hitting the wall] RALTS!
Togedemaru: [hitting the wall] TOGE!
Grookey: [hitting the wall] GROOKEY!
Ash, Clemont, Serena, Zee, Sophocles and Goh: [gasps]
Ash: [going over to Pikachu] Pikachu!
Clemont: [going over to Chespin] Chespin!
Serena: [going over to Pancham] Pancham, no!
Zee: [going over to Airalin] Airalin!
Sophocles: [going over to Togedemaru] Togedemaru!
Goh: [going over to Grookey] Grookey!
Ralts (Airalin): [crying] RALTS!
Zee: Oh, there there, Airalin! Mama's here!
She then took the Psychic and Fairy type into her arms and turned to Diana! Zee was not happy!
Zee: What's your problem?! They just wanted some ice cream!
Goh: [angry] This party is over!
Kara: NO IT'S NOT!
Zee: Guys, what is wrong?
Karen: Oh Zee. If only you could see...
Diana, Babs, Jessica, Kara, and Karen: [singing] How important birthdays Should be
Zee: My song from last night. Must've put a spell on my friends.
Ash: Spell?! Oh boy! That can be good!
Goh: What'll we do?!
Alex: [pulls out a PokéBall] I got this covered! Koffing, [tosses PokéBall] go!
Koffing: [appearing] KOFFING!
Zee: Look over there! It's the, uh, pony I wanted.
Then they looked the other direction!
Ash: Now, Alex!
Alex: Koffing, use Smokescreen!
Koffing: [Smokescreen move] KOFFING!
Diana, Babs, Jessica, Kara, and Karen: [coughing]
Zee: [shouting incantation]
Then, Ash, Zee, and the others teleported away, and that didn't make the girls happy!
Diana, Babs, Jessica, Kara, and Karen: [screaming]
["Who's That Pokémon?" time]
[as a silhouette shows a unicorn Pokémon]
Ash and Zee: Who's that Pokémon?
...
Ash and Zee: It's Ponyta! Galarian Form!
[as the silhouette reveals Galarian Ponyta]
Ponyta (Galarian): [neighing]
[End]
Soon, Zee had teleported her, Ash, Serena, and Goh to her room, and the others to their homes for safety!
Zee: Relax, Zee. It'll be fine. So what if you accidentally use magic to turn your friends into birthday-crazy zombies!
Ash: Zee, what exactly happened?!
Pikachu: PIKA PI!
Zee: I don't know! I got angry and one thing lead to another with my magic and then this happened!
[knock on door]
When they opened the door, Karen was there!
Zee: Aah!
Ash: What the?!
Karen: I want you to hear my new birthday song. [sings] It's Zee's birthday And it is great Stop everything And celebrate
Zee: Wow! That is really lovely. So lovely, in fact, I just can't stand it! Bye!
She pushed Karen out the door, but then...
Bumblebee: [singing] Everyone must join The party, too! 'Cause if you don't I will find you!'
Ribombee: BOM BOM!
Ash: [snatched a hold of Bumblebee and Ribombee] Gotcha! Now, you little birthday obsessed punks! [as he bonks Bumblebee and Ribombee's heads together] Scram outta here! [as Zee opens the window and he dropkicks them out] And stay out!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Zee: Phew. That took an ugly turn.
Goh: No kidding!
Zee: Thanks, Ashykins!
Ash: No problem!
Then, they saw a strange green light!
Serena: Huh?
Zee: What the...
Green Lantern had flown up creepily and created the words "Happy Birthday Zee"!
Zee: Aah!
Sylveon: [scared] SYLVE!
Ash: GAH!
Pikachu: [shocked] PIKA!
Zee: Oh, [makes her magic book appear] there's gotta be a spell to undo this.
Goh: Well, you better think of something! And fast!
Zee: [shouting incantation]
But nothing happened as Bumblebee came back!
Serena: Try something else!
Zee: [shouting incantation]
Nothing happened again, as Batgirl grappled down from the roof!
Goh: Try a more useful spell!
Zee: [shouting incantation]
But it still didn't work as Supergirl flew up and Wonder Woman was down below with a truck full of gifts and holding a sign that said "Happy B-Day Queen"!
Zee: [gasps]
Sylveon: [shocked] SYLVEON!
Ash: It's not working! What'll we do now?!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Goh: I say we split Metropolis and go somewhere safe where they'll never find us!
Cinderace: CINDERACE!
The four friends left the room, hoping to think of a solution.
Zee: [whimpers] [sighs]
Ash: I think we lost them!
Giovanni Zatara: [holding a cake] Happy birthday!
Zee: [screams]
Ash: Giovanni!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Zee: You're under the spell, too?
Giovanni: You were having so much fun with your friends... Wait, did you say spell?
Zee: I don't even know what happened! I got angry and carried away and now my friends are birthday zombies and it's all my fault! [cries]
Ash: [hugs her] [rubs her back comfortingly] Shh. It's okay, Zee. Don't cry. I'm here.
Pikachu: [comforting] PIKACHU.
Sylveon: [nuzzles against Zee in comfort] SYLVEON!
Zee: [cries]
Giovanni: Shh, no need to cry. Seriously, you're getting tears on the cake and I worked really hard on it.
Zee: Dad, this wouldn't have happened if I didn't insist on making such a big deal out of my stupid birthday!
Giovanni: Making a big deal out of birthdays maybe partially my fault. You don't remember?
[Flashback]
Zee's Mom: I've had enough!
Giovanni: Not now.
Zee's Mom: This is the last time.
Giovanni: Please! This is-
Zee's Mom: I'm leaving!
Giovanni: No, no, no! Ugh! Who's ready for birthday cake?
Young Zee: But where'd Mom go?
Giovanni: Mommy had to be somewhere. But you know what? We're still going have an amazing celebration!
Young Zee: [gasps] Really?
Giovanni: Every birthday from now on shall be Zee's Best Birthday Ever! [as he and Zee hug]
[Flashback ends]
Zee: [sighs] That was the day Mom left.
Ash: [growls] [angrily] [clenches his fists in anger]
Goh: Wow! I can't believe she would do that!
Serena: How awful!
Pikachu: [angry] PIKACHU!
Cinderace: [angry] CINDERACE!
Pancham: [angry] PANCHAM!
Ash: [punches the wall angrily] UGH!
Zee: Ash!
Giovanni: Ash! You punch the wall any harder and you'll put a hole in it!
Ash: [angry] She should be ashamed of herself! Zee didn't deserve any of this!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Ash: [angry] Leaving on Zee's birthday! That's just des... des...
Goh: Digraceful?
Serena: Disgusting?
Ash: [angry] Despicable!
Pikachu: [agreeing angrily] PIKACHU!
Goh: As much as I agree with this, we have to focus on the task at hand right now!
Gible: [alerting] GIBLE! GIBLE!
The heroes saw their birthday-obsessed friends trying to break in!
[incoherent shouting]
Serena: Oh no! They found us!
Girls: Birthday! Birthday!
Supergirl started to use her laser vision to cut a hole through the glass!
Zee: Quick Dad, what do we do?
Giovanni: I'm afraid only you can fix this. [makes a chest appear and gives it to her]
Zee: I've seen this before.
Ash: That was when we fought Fuseli in our dreams!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Giovanni: Zee, this is not how I wanted to tell you. But just as you inherited Light Magic from me, you inherited Dark Magic from your mother.
Ash, Goh and Serena: She did?!
Pikachu: PIKA?!
Cinderace: RACE?!
Pancham: PANCHAM?!
Sylveon: VEON?!
Gible: GIBLE?!
Zee: This was mom's?
Giovanni: Yes. And unlike Light Magic, Dark Magic is filled by negative emotions.
Zee: Like anger.
Girls: Birthday! Birthday!
Giovanni: [grunts] We're out of time. You must find a way to undo this.
Zee: I... I will!
Giovanni: Ash, go with Zee! Now!
Ash: Uh, right! But first, [tosses PokéBall] Mimey, help Giovanni to the best of your ability!
Mr. Mime (Mimey): [appearing] MIME MIME!
Zee: Gible, you help my dad too!
Gible: [saluting] GIBLE!
Goh: We'll help too!
Giovanni: No, you two! It's too dangerous!
Goh: We've been through a lot more worse things than this! We can help out too!
Giovanni: Alright! But be careful!
Ash: Be safe, Serena!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Serena: I will, honey! [kisses Ash on the lips]
[incoherent shouting]
Serena: [tosses PokéBall] Delphox, let's go!
Goh: [tosses PokéBall] Go, Inteleon!
Delphox: [appearing] DELPHOX!
Inteleon: [appearing] INTELEON!
When Zee opened the chest, the dark magic started to consume her!
[Zee's voice echoing]: Why did my mom leave me? Why did my mom leave? Ah! Is something wrong with me? Is something wrong with me? What if my friends leave me, too? What if my friends leave me, too? What if my friends leave me, too?
Sylveon: [worried] SYLVEON!
Zee: No. I can't... it isn't right. [closes the chest] [grunts]
Ash: Zee, I don't care if you were born with dark magic! What matters is that you're who you really are! I'll always love you, Zee Zatara! Now and forever!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Zee felt touched by that! Then, she kissed him on the lips! And Ash kissed back! After they released, Zee rested her head on Ash's shoulder.
Zee: You really are so sweet, Ashykins!
Ash smiled and hugged her.
Sylveon: [nuzzles Zee] [saying it will always be there for her, no matter what] SYLVE SYLVE SYLVEON!
Zee: Thanks, Sylveon!
Zee then hugged Sylveon!
Zee: I'm really glad to have you as my friend!
Sylveon: [happy] VEON!
Then, Zee noticed the present from her friends lying on her bed. When she opened it, it was a picture of her, Ash, and the girls together!
Ash: It's a picture of us!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Zee: My friends love me. They do care about me. They'll always be there for me. Negative thinking got me into this. But it won't get me out.
Ash: [determined] Yeah! [takes Zee's hand] Only positive thinking can help us!
Pikachu: [determined] PIKACHU!
Sylveon: [wraps a feeler around Zee's other hand] [determined] VEON!
Meanwhile, Giovanni, Serena, and Goh were holding off the girls!
Goh: Inteleon, Snipe Shot!
Serena: Delphox, Psychic!
Giovanni: Mimey, Reflect! Gible, Sandstorm!
Inteleon: [Snipe Shot move] INTEL!
Delphox: [Psychic move] DELPHOX!
Mr. Mime (Mimey): [Reflect move] MIME!
Gible: [Sandstorm move] GIBLE!
But it wasn't enough, as the girls broke through the magic barrier!
Girls: [chanting] Birthday. Birthday. Birthday!
Giovanni, Serena, and Goh: Ugh!
[girls shouting]
Zee: I love my friends, my friends love me. I love my friends, my friends love me! I love my friends, my friends love me!
Girls: [yelling] Birthday! Birthday!
Zee: [shouts incantation]
Ash: [using his Aura] HA!
Then, Ash's Aura and Zee's magic combined, creating a bright flash! Soon, the girls were back to normal!
Supergirl: Anyone care to explain what we're doing here?
Zee: I used magic on you girls. I'm so sorry. And I'm sorry for getting so carried away about my birthday. Thank you for always being there for me. Oh, and I loved your gift.
Bumblebee: Really? It's not too small?
Zee: It's perfect.
Then, they all hugged, as Ash, Serena, Goh, and Giovanni watched on with smiles.
Ash: [sad] Girls, I'm really sorry for what I said.
Pikachu: [sad] PIKACHU.
Batgirl: It's alright, Ash! We should be apologizing too for making Zee feel upset!
Ash: Thanks, girls! And don't count on me not hanging out with you anytime soon!
Green Lantern (Jessica): So, does that mean we're still friends?
Ash: Of course we are!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Supergirl: Awesome!
Ash: Yeah! It sure is!
And they all shared a hug!
Sylveon: [runs over to Zee] SYLVEON!
Gible: [runs over to Zee] GIBLE!
Zee: Sylveon! Gible!
She then hugged the two Pokémon!
Zee: You guys are the best Pokémon friends a girl like me could have!
Sylveon: [happy] VEON!
Gible: [happy] GIB!
Giovanni: Now that that's over, I have something for you, dear.
Zee: Really, Dad? What is it?
Ponyta (Galarian): [neighs softly]
Ash: Wait a minute! Is that a Galarian Ponyta?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Wonder Woman: It looks different from my Ponyta! [pulls out her Rotom Phone]
Diana's Rotom Phone: Ponyta, Galarian Form. The Unique Horn Pokémon. A Psychic type. There's a healing power hidden within its small horn. Ponyta can also treat wounds by using Heal Pulse.
Wonder Woman: Fascinating! This Ponyta from the Galar Region is a Psychic type!
Zee: It's beautiful!
Giovanni: And all yours!
Zee: Wait! It is?!
Giovanni: Yes!
Then, the Galarian Ponyta went over to Zee and started nuzzling up against her in affection!
Ponyta (Galarian): [nuzzling against her] [neighing affectionately]
Ash: Well, whaddya know! It likes you!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Zee: Well, it is pretty cute! [pulls out a PokéBall] I think I'll catch you!
However, she looked at the PokéBall for a moment.
Zee: Hold that thought!
Then, she took out the Great Ball!
Zee: I'll put Goh's present to good use!
Goh: Whoa! You're gonna use the Great Ball?!
Zee: Of course! You can't expect me to use a regular PokéBall and not use the Great Ball that you got me, Goh!
Goh: Good point!
Zee: Besides!
The magic girl then started to stroke Ponyta's mane.
Zee: I think this Ponyta is far too good for a regular PokéBall anyway!
Ponyta (Galarian): [neighs happily]
Ash: Well then, go for it, Zee!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Zee: With pleasure, my dear! [tosses Great Ball] Go, Great Ball!
The Great Ball but the Ponyta and it got sucked right into it! And with a few shakes and a 'ping'...
Zee's Rotom Phone: Ponyta, Galarian Form, has been registered to your Pokédex!
Zee: [squeals] I just caught a Galarian Ponyta!
Pikachu: [happy] PI PIKACHU!
Ash: Way to go, Zee!
Zee: Thanks, Ashykins!
Ash: Oh right! Since it's your birthday, go ahead and open your gift!
Zee: Oh yeah! I almost forgot! [opens the present]
When she opened it, it revealed to be...
Zee: [gasps]
It was a violet Z-Ring!
Zee: It's a Z-Ring! And in a violet color! Where did you get it?
Ash: Well, I had a little help from a friend of mine in Alola!
[Flashback]
Olivia: [while hugging Ash into her chest] [laughing] Congratulations, Ash! I'm so happy that you found love! And I wish you many happy years!
Ash: [blushing][muffled] Thanks, Olivia! Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to be able to live my happy years! Can't breathe!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Olivia: Oh! [releases] Sorry!
Ash: [catches his breath] Phew! Now! Zee's birthday is in a couple of days and I still need to get her a gift! So, I thought I could get her a Z-Ring and I was hoping you could help me out!
Olivia smiled widely at this!
Olivia: Of course I can! If it's for the sake of your loved one and her birthday, I'm willing to help in anyway I can!
Ash: Awesome! Thank you so much, Olivia!
Ash (voiceover): So, Olivia and I rode on Alola's Ride Stoutland and we dug up a Z-Ring Ore! And while Olivia was making the Z-Ring, I had to battle out a Totem Pokémon in a Grand Trial battle to earn the Z-Crystal for you! I was able to obtain the Fairy type Z-Crystal! And soon, Olivia had finished the Z-Ring and had made it in a violet color that I had suggested! I even was able to get a gift box for it and gift-wrap it too!
[Flashback ends]
Zee: EEEEE! Now I'll be able to use Z-Moves!
She then tackled Ash onto her bed!
Zee: [grabs his face] And now for your reward! [kisses him all over his face] Mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah!
Goh: GAH!
Serena: [giggles] That's my Ashy!
Giovanni: And that's my girl!
Sylveon: SYLVE!
Zee: [placing one final kiss on him] MWAH!
Soon, Ash's face was covered in lipstick marks.
Ash: [swirls in eyes] [dazed giggles] Awesome!
Zee: [cuddles Ash] I love you so much, Ashykins!
Ash: I love you too, Zee!
Zee: Of course, you'll have to teach me how to use a Z-Move, Ashykins!
Ash: I'd be more than happy to!
Zee: Awesome! But you wanna know something, Ashykins?
Ash: Hmm? What's that, Zee?
Zee: Us being a couple is the greatest gift of all!
Ash: I know!
Serena: And I second the notion!
And she, Ash and Zee shared a hug!
A few days later, it was Ash's birthday, and Ash was still fast asleep!
Ash: [snoring]
Zee: Psst! Ashykins! Happy birthday!
Ash: [wakes up] Huh? [yawns] Morning, Zee!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Sylveon: SYLVEON!
Ash: [rubs his eyes] Who's birthday is it?
Pikachu: PIKA PI?
Zee: It's your birthday, silly!
Ash: [gasps] My birthday?!
Pikachu: PIKA?!
Zee: Yeah! And I got something special for you! It's at the base! Go on, get up and dressed!
Ash: Okay!
Soon, he was dressed, and he saw Zee wearing her Z-Ring with the Fairium Z!
Ash: Hey! You're wearing the Z-Ring I got you with the Fairium Z!
Zee: I sure am!
Zee then looked at herself in the mirror!
Zee: And I look even more fabulous than ever!
Sylveon: VEON!
Zee: But enough of that! Come on, Ashykins! Let's go!
Ash: Yeah!
Meanwhile at the base...
Diana: Is everything ready?
Everyone except Diana: All set!
Diana: Excellent! Zee will be escorting Ash here any minute!
Then...
Ash: [muffled] Come on, Zee Zee! Tell me what the surprise is!
Misty: Uh oh! They're here! Quick, everybody! Hide!
And the lights were turned off just as Zee and Ash came sliding down!
Ash: Why is it so dark in here?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Zee: You'll find out in 3...2...1! [claps her hands as the light turns on]
Everyone: SURPRISE!
Ash: [gasps]
Pikachu: [surprised] PIKACHU!
Everyone: Happy birthday, Ash!
Ash: [happily gasps]
Pikachu: [happy] PIKACHU!
Ash: A surprise birthday party, for me? I can't believe you all knew today was my birthday!
Babs: Well, your mom told us that since you've been traveling a lot, you never celebrated your birthday! So, we all pitched in and decided to throw you a surprise party!
Ash: Really?!
Jessica: Yep!
Hoopa: Was Ashkan surprised?
Ash: Very surprised!
Zenowing: Indeed! Happy birthday, Ash!
Ash: Thanks, everyone! Now, let's get this party started!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Sonic: It's party time!
Everyone: Yeah!
[Recap Time]
Karen: It's recap time!
Ash: Hey, girls! Who'd'ya meet today?
[as a Pokémon card was placed in a binder]
Zee: Galarian Ponyta!
Ash: Unlike Kanto's Ponyta, the Ponyta of the Galar Region is a Psychic type!
Goh: And they're exclusively found in the Glimwood Tangle!
Ponyta (Galarian): [neighing]
Diana: It almost looks like a unicorn!
Zee: And it's beautiful like [flips her hair] like moi!
Ash: You are very beautiful, Zee!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Zee: [cuddles Ash] Thanks, Ashykins! [kisses his cheek]
Ash: [blushes] [giggles]
Zee: [grabs him by the shirt collar] Now, c'mere, handsome!
Then they started to kiss and make out!
