Here's part 24! I hope you'll enjoy it!
(Scene cuts to Burnett, Patch and Lady in the Muffle Mountain workshop.)
Patch: She can whistle. I heard her.
Burnett: (nodding) Yeah. So have I. It's because she was magic.
Patch: (looking at a map that Burnett has up on the wall) This must be the map of her Magic Railroad. But…the railroad's energy is fading away. I sensed it when we were out riding. Lily and I were traveling on the ground above it.
Burnett: The railroad needs Lady and Jirachi but I don't know their special secret. And I need to know it now more than ever.
Patch: Because of Lily?
Burnett: Yes, because of Lily.
(Scene cuts to where Ash, Lily and Mr. Conductor are sitting by the fire together as Thomas and Percy talk)
Percy: So, Thomas, we must get Lily back to her grandpa now in case Diesel gets rid of the railway.
Thomas: But how can Lily and Ash go without gold dust?
Mr. Conductor: Only in the lost engine. Unless...
Thomas: Unless?
Mr. Conductor: Thomas, will you please take Lily and Ash?
Thomas: Through the buffers? But what if I go on the railway and my wheels don't work?
Mr. Conductor: But what if they do?
Thomas: But what if... if...
Mr. Conductor: Yes?
Thomas: What if it's dark?
Mr. Conductor: It will be for a while.
Thomas: And cold!
Mr. Conductor: Maybe.
Thomas: And how will I get back again?
Mr. Conductor: Because you're a really useful engine and will find a way.
Ash: Thomas, we know you can take us back. We'll be right with you. You're not alone.
Thomas: What do you mean, Ash?
Ash: I mean... what you can't do on your own, you can do with a Pokémon pal there by your side!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Aipom: [agreeing] AIPO!
Pichu Brothers: [happily agreeing] PICHU!
Jirachi: We believe in you, Thomas.
Thomas: [smiles] Then I'll try.
And that's part 24! I hope you all enjoyed it! and there's more to come! So until then, see you all next time!
