Shoutouts:


Narrator: By winning the Akala Island grand trial, Ash and Jordan have both earned their Rockium Z.

Jordan: And I was given a new Pokémon, a Midnight form Lycanroc, named Emma.

Narrator: That's right and let's not forget that Leilani evolved too.

Jordan: Yep.

Meeko: Lucario!

Narrator: With Pikachu and his newly evolved Lycanroc, our heroes now head to the Pokémon school in high spirits!

"So, what do you say we try out a rock-type Z-Move together?" asked Ash.

"Lycan." said Lycanroc.

"I would like to see that, too!" said Rotom.

"I'm bursting at the seams." said Jordan.

"Pikachu." said Pikachu.

"Lucario." said Meeko.

"Alola, Ash and Jordan!" Mallow called out.

"Hm? Mallow! Alola!" said Ash.

"Alola!" said Rotom and Jordan. Just then, Kiawe appears with his Charizard.

"Alola, Kiawe." said Ash and Jordan.

"Alola, Charizard." said Jordan, smiling.

"Alola." said Mallow.

"Alola! You're kind of early today." said Kiawe as Charizard gently roars at Jordan and Meeko.

"(Chuckles) Since Olivia gave Jordan and I a Rockium Z, we both wanted to try it out right away." said Ash.

"Well, let's get to it." said Kiawe as a couple of shadows appears behind Pikachu and Meeko.

"Pika." said Pikachu as a glass orb picks him up.

"Lucario!" screamed Meeko as the other picks her up.

"Pikachu!" shouted Ash.

"Meeko!" shouted Jordan.

"Pika! Lucar!" said Pikachu and Meeko as they flew over to Team Rocket.

"And another picture-perfect flight." said Meowth.

"Pika." said Pikachu.

"Lucari." said Meeko.

"Like taking candy from a Twerp." said Jessie.

"Watching the Alolan sunrise made it all bearable." said James.

"Team Rocket!" said Ash and Jordan.

"Pi! Pika!" shouted Pikachu as he tries to use thunderbolt.

"You dopes never learn." said Jessie and James.

"Wobbuffet." said Wobbuffet.

"Lucario, Cario." said Meeko.

"You want to go first, Ash?" asked Jordan.

"You bet. All right." said Ash. "I'll just try out a Rock-Type Z-Move right now. Lycanroc!"

"Lycan!" growled Lycanroc.

"Excuse me? Luggage rack?" asked Jessie.

"Get your ears cleaned." said Meowth. "It's Lycanroc."

"Hm. Wait. It's different." said James, looking through his Alolan handbook and lands on the Lycanroc page. "There! See? My illustrated reference guide proves it."

"Do tell." said Meowth.

"It's as rare as finding a Twerp with a whole brain." said Jessie. "And we all know that rare means money. Perfect timing."

"Ya know, Team Rocket….my brother's not the only one. I have a Lycanroc too." said Jordan, holding out a Pokeball. "I bet the three of you can't tell which one I've got."

"You wanna bet, huh?" asked Meowth.

"Emma, come on out." said Jordan, tossing the Pokeball into the air.

"Lycanroc!" growled Emma, already hunched over.

"Wow! She named it already." said James.

"That was quick." said Meowth.

"Mimikyu, out we come!" said Jessie, releasing Mimikyu.

"Lycanroc!" growled Lycanroc and Emma.

Mimikyu turns around to see Pikachu and Meeko above it, becoming angry. "Whats with the attitude?" Jessie asked.

"You know that Pikachu's the only blip on Mimikyu's radar." said James.

"Baby Twerp did try to tell you before." added Meowth.

"And she will never listen, Meowth." said Jordan, looking up at her brother who nodded.

"Let's do this!" shouted Ash. "Now, Lycanroc!"

Lycanroc howls in reply. "All right, here we go!" shouted Ash as he poses with Lycanroc. "With full power! Continental Crush!" Lycanroc jumps into the air, howling as it creates Continental Crush. Team Rocket starts to become scared as Continental Crush hangs over them.

"Huh?" said Team Rocket, confused as Continental Crush breaks apart.

"Lycanroc, what's that matter?" asked Ash as Lycanroc pants.

"The Continental Crush…" said James.

"Turned into Twerpy mush." said Meowth.

"And a certain Pokémon will have a bath if he doesn't exactly hush." said Jordan, bringing out the water gun, causing Meowth to zip his lips.

"Wobbuffet." said Wobbuffet.

"Works for me. Our golden opportunity." said Jessie.

"No. The opportunity is ours." said Kiawe as Turtonator appears out of its Pokeball. "Turtonator, become a raging fire!"

"Turto! Turtonator!" shouted Turtonator.

"Inferno Overdrive!" shouted Kiawe.

"Turtonator!" bellowed Turtonator as a ball of fire was released from its body and heads towards Team Rocket, who yelled. Whatever contraption they had to capture Pikachu and Meeko had opened, releasing both Pokémon.

"Pika! Cario!" said Pikachu and Meeko.

"Meeko!" shouted Jordan, catching the Aura Pokémon in her arms.

"Drat and it's been much too long since we bathed in the spotlight." said James.

"Pesky Z-Moves are a Twerp-hater's plight." said Meowth.

"How do you prepare to fight without a fight?" asked Jessie.

"Wobbuffet." added Wobbuffet.

"Hold on. Where's Bewear?" Jessie asked, wondering where Bewear is. "Bad timing?"

"Or perhaps it ran out of food?" asked James.

"Man, am I hungry." said Meowth.

"Say it aint so!" said Team Rocket as they became a twinkle in the sky.

"Now that's what I call a proper Team Rocket blast off." said Jordan.

"I see what you mean." said Rotom.

"Yep. It's always Pikachu or something else that causes their blast offs." said Jordan.

In town, Jessie and Mimikyu landed on a bouncy castle before landing in a bush. "Huh! Argh! Pikachu?" questioned Jessie as she looked up to see a giant Pikachu balloon. "Jumbo Mega Evolution? Hm? Uh!" She then starts poking Pikachu. "It's a fake. Am I in a shopping mall?" she then asked to no one in particular as she looks around.

"Oh, Meowth? James? Where are you?" Jessie called out to them. "Wobbuffet?"

Down below her and coming out of the bushes was Mimikyu. "Mimikyu? Uh!" said Jessie, then looks down. "There you are. Thank goodness you're okay." Just then, Jessie gasps as she sees Mimikyu.

Mimikyu's Pikachu outfit had a tear in the next. "You've sprung a leak!" screeched Jessie.

"Mimikyu's inside there." said Meowth, sitting before a lit candle. "The entrance to a terrifying world is in there too, you know. And if you happen to take a peek at what's going on, its say goodbye to whatever marbles you've still got left."

The flame's blown out as Jessie remembers Meowth's words. "I know that's what Meowth told us." said Jessie, groaning as she looks back at Mimikyu as the rip on the clothing became longer. "But the creepy secret is out of the bag, so, for now, Mimikyu, return. You can't get in trouble back in the ball."

"Kyu." hissed Mimikyu, refusing to go back into its Pokeball as its head fell forward.

"Oh, cooperate already." said Jessie. "I can't go find anyone with you hanging around."

Using its hand, Mimikyu pushes its head back into place, trying to fix it but falls back down again. "This is just great." said Jessie, then sees a malasada shop. "Look at that. A malasada stand. Get in your ball and I'll get you one right away."

"Kyu, Kyu." said Mimikyu.

"Excuse me, dear." said Jessie, holding her Team Rocket coin bag.

"How can I help you?" asked the shop keeper.

"Two malasadas." Jessie tells her.

"Here you go." said the shop keeper, placing them in a bag and handing them to Jessie.

"Thank you." Jessie said sweetly.

"Thank you." said the shop keeper as Jessie giggles. Suddenly a small flock of Murkrows flew down, cawing as they see the malasada in Jessie's hand.

"Ah! Let it go! That's mine." Jessie said to the Murkrow who takes both malasadas from her. "Come back. My malasada!" Jessie growls at the Murkrows as they squawked back angrily in reply when flying away.

Jessie sobs for a moment and looks at the malasada bag in her hand. "Huh?" she said, then gets an idea. Jessie hands the malasada bag to Mimikyu, who places it over its body once it took off its Pikachu outfit.

"(Sighs) Now I won't have to see what's going on in there." said Jessie, then picks up the disguise. "Wow, you sure did a number on this. It's like a washrag. You should throw it away."

"Mimikyu!" said Mimikyu, grabbing its disguise from Jessie and pulling it close to its body.

"Uh, I know." she said to Mimikyu. "I'll choose your wardrobe. When it comes to fashion sense, I rule the roost."

"Kyu?" it asked.

"You don't like Pikachu, do you?" asked Jessie, before grabbing Mimikyu by its tail. "If that's true, then dislike with a new wardrobe. Now a teensy tuck here and a teensy tuck there and its perfect. Perfect!"

"Hey, Jessie!" shouted James as he, Meowth and Wobbuffet had landed in the forest.

"Mimikyu, show your mug!" shouted Meowth.

"Jessie, please. Throw us a word or two!" shouted James.

"Mimikyu, yoo-hoo!" said Meowth.

"Wob….." said Wobbuffet, sobbing with tears in its eyes.

"Not a creepy peep." said Meowth.

"Or creak." said James.

"Wobbu! Wobbuffet!" said Wobbuffet.

"Now that I think of back when we were blasting off, I laid my eyes on a monster-sized shopping mall hanging around over there." said Meowth, pointing in the direction of the mall.

"You saw a shopping mall? Wait!" said James. "That means she could've landed in that cradle of commerce."

"Our Jessie, shopping queen." said Meowth.

"Ah! What a nightmare!" Meowth and James shouted, taking off.

"Wobbuffet!" shouted Wobbuffet, running after them.

"There's not a moment to lose." said James.

"She's the one with all the credit cards." said Meowth.

"She'll shop and we'll drop!" said a freaked-out James.

"Wobbuffet!" Wobbuffet called out after them.

"May we help you?" asked a couple of sales girls as Jessie and Mimikyu walked in.

"You may." replied Jessie. "I havent shopped in so long, but it's just like riding a bike."

"What sort of fashion are you fond of?" asked one sales girl.

"Oh, it's not for me." said Jessie, going through a sales rack and finds a pink dress. "Ha-ha. I love this. Adorable."

"That's our last one, since it's so popular." said the other sales girl.

"Perfect. Wait," Jessie then said. "I told you I'm not really looking today for me."

"This is a special item we ordered, but our store only received one." said the sales girl.

"For me?" asked Jessie, then tries on the dress and hat. "Hm. (Giggles) I wasn't going to buy anything myself, but when you're this cute, what can you do?"

"Wow, you look just fabulous." said the sales girl.

"What do you expect? Obviously." said Jessie. Mimikyu tries to escape out the front door when Jessie grabs it by its tail. "Oh, no, you don't." she said to Mimikyu. "All right, cutie pie, now it's your turn."

Going through Mimikyu's mind, it thought that it should have let Ash capture him instead of Team Rocket. "First, let's start off with something easy." said Jessie, closing a curtain in front of Mimikyu who then appears wearing ribbons and bows. "A cute ribbon outfit? And next."

Mimikyu was now wearing a beach bucket with a sea star and holding a shovel. "A beach bucket outfit. Next?"

Mimikyu then was wearing a purse before wearing a straw hat. "A frilly purse bag outfit. Next? A retro straw hat outfit."

Mimikyu hissed at Jessie, not liking the outfits she picked out. "See? Isn't shopping fun? And next?" Jessie asked Mimikyu with more things in her hands when Mimikyu knocks the stuff out. "Ah! Hey! What? Stop!"

Mimikyu hisses as it runs out of the store. "We're making fashion history!" Jessie called out after Mimikyu.

"Lycan." said Lycanroc as it was practicing Continental Crush with Ash. Jordan was practicing on the sidelines with Emma, trying to figure out her pose for Continental Crush.

"All right, Continental Crush." said Ash. Lycanroc howled as it into the air again, creating the larger-than-life boulder which crumbles for a second time. "Oh, another dud." said Ash.

"Pika." said Pikachu, running up.

"Lyc." said Lycanroc.

"At least you have you Continental Crush pose all figured out." said Jordan. "We're still trying to find ours."

"Lycan. Roc." said Emma, telling her in a way that the both of them will get there.

"Cario." said Meeko.

"Please don't worry, Ash, Jordan, Lycanroc and Emma." said Lana.

"I'm sure you'll get it soon enough." said Mallow.

"Thanks guys." said Ash.

"Roc." said Lycanroc.

"Yeah. I like to get it over with before I'm 10 years old." said Jordan.

"Lyc." said Emma.

"I can't help but wonder why it is you're both not succeeding." said Kiawe.

"Your poses are certainly accurate. Even though Jordan and Emma are still finding one that works for them." said Rotom.

"I've read that the level trust between a Trainer and their Pokémon is really important, especially with Z-moves." said Lillie.

"I don't think they've got a problem with that." said Sophocles.

"Yeah, but…." said Mallow.

"I'd sure like to know." said Ash.

"Lycan." said Lycanroc.

"Don't worry, Lycanroc. No way it's your fault." Ash tells it.

"Well…" said Jordan, gaining the attention of the older kids. "I'm going to try one of my usual methods."

"What methods?" asked Ash.

"Remember how I earn the trust from one of my Pokémon from the Johto Region?" asked Jordan.

"You don't mean…..?" asked Ash.

"Yeah, I'm going to do that. But I'm going to try it in a different way and see what happens." she tells him, then looks at Meeko and Emma. "Come on, you two. Let's go."

"Cario. Lycanroc." said Meeko and Emma as they went with Jordan to the other side of the school yard.

"Wait." Kukui said, calling out from behind them. "It actually may not be working because of Lycanroc, Ash."

"What does that mean? I don't understand." said Ash. "I mean, Lycanroc is trying so hard."

"Yeah, but I think you should remember everything Lycanroc just went through." Kukui explained to the eldest Ketchum.

"Huh?" said Ash.

"The power Lycanroc attained from evolving can't be compared to what it had of Rockruff." said Kukui. "However, Lycanroc simply doesn't have the experience to control that power just yet."

"I think I get what you mean." said Lillie. "Are you saying that Lycanroc is trying so hard that its power flow gets interrupted?"

"Huh." said Mallow.

"Lycan." said Lycanroc.

"That's exactly what I'm talking about." said Kukui. "So why don't you go back to basics and work on some Rock-type moves? That way, you can make Lycanroc's power your own. Just like Jordan's trying to do."

They all turned around to see what she and her Pokémon were doing. "Lucario!" exclaimed Meeko as she danced along with Jordan and Emma.

"That's right….and lets spin." said Jordan, spinning around with Emma and Meeko until they fell to the ground.

"Lycan….Lycanroc." Emma growled, laughing as loud as she could. Meeko and Jordan looked at each other before joining Emma's laughter. Ash smiled at this, seeing his sister having fun.

"That's a great idea." Ash said to Professor Kukui. "We'll give it a shot."

"And we can help you both out, okay?" asked Mallow.

"Great." said Ash.

"Pika!" said Pikachu.

"Roc!"

"Turtonator!"

"You can always count on me to train with you." said Kiawe.

"Yeah, me too." said Sophocles.

"Then today's class will be everyone practicing their moves." said Kukui. "Or in Jordan's case….her dance moves."

"Really?" asked Ash.

"It's obvious you and Jordan are both itching to start practicing, aren't you?" he replied.

"All right, Lycanroc. Let's start training right now." said Ash.

"Roc." said Lycanroc as Ash chuckles.

"Hm." groaned Jessie as she and Mimikyu sat near the Pikachu balloon. "Whats it going to take for you to like something?"

"Kyu!" Mimikyu hissed angrily.

"Hm." said Jessie, glaring at her Pokémon before sighing. "I'm exhausted because of you. I'm going to get a malasada and take a fashionable break from this nonsense."

Mimikyu hisses in anger, wanting Jessie to understand that it doesn't want a whole new outfit. It liked dressing up as a Pikachu. "May I help you?" The shop keeper asked.

"Two more malasadas." said Jessie, then looks in her coin purse. "Uh! I'm tapped out. Just one please."

"Of course. Coming right up." she said to Jessie. Looking up at the Pikachu balloon, Mimikyu gets fired up again. "Mimikyu." said Mimikyu.

"Mm. (Gasps)" said Jessie, seeing Mimikyu about to attack the balloon. "Hey, cut it out!"

"Pikachu!" squealed a girl, pointing to the balloon.

"Stop. Bag it. Hm?" said Jessie, holding back a struggling Mimikyu.

"I love Pikachu." said the girl.

"I love Pikachu, too." said the boy.

Mimikyu pulls out its ripped Pikachu disguise, hissing as it shakes it from side to side, causing Jessie to sigh in defeat. "I'll fix it if you want. Give it to me." said Jessie. "I don't really get it, but if looking like Pikachu means so much, then I'll do what I can to help." Hissing softly, Mimikyu hands it over to Jessie who then starts sewing it back together.

"One more time. Lycanroc, Rock Throw." said Ash.

"Roc!" howled Lycanroc, sending out Rock Throw.

"Block it, quick." said Kiawe.

"Turto." said Turtonator, using its shell to block the attack. "Turtonator."

"Whats wrong, Lycanroc?" Ash asked. "You look kind of beat."

"Roc!" barked Lycanroc, having a tantrum.

"Pika, Pika." said Pikachu as Kukui starts chuckling.

"There's no need to get all worked up." said Kukui.

"But I feel like we're getting really close." said Ash.

"Popplio, use Aqua Jet!" said Lana.

"Pop! Pop!" squealed Popplio, using Aqua Jet and pulls Steenee around small lagoon.

"Steenee." Steenee exclaimed.

"Wow, Steenee, you're doing so well!" said Mallow.

"Who would have thought you could do that using an Aqua Jet?" asked Lillie.

"I know I didn't." said Jordan.

"I'd call it a triumph innovation." said Sophocles.

"Togedemaru." said Togedemaru, who then falls into the water as the others gasped. "Toge!"

"You're so cute." said Jordan as Meeko helps pull Togedemaru out of the water.

"Hm. All done." said Jessie, fixing Mimikyu's Pikachu disguise.

"Kyu, Kyu, Kyu." said Mimikyu, happily.

"I think it looks great; don't you think?" Jessie asked Mimikyu. "That means yay for me. Now don't rip it again. All right. Here's that malasada I bought."

"Kyu." said Mimikyu, jumping up and down.

"I know. There's only one, so we'll share." said Jessie, getting the malasada from the bag. Just then the Murkrow flew from the roof, causing Jessie to gasp. "No, not you thieves again!" grunted Jessie, trying to fend them off when they take Mimikyu's outfit. "Not Mimikyu's suit! (Squeals) Well, what are you waiting for? Come on, move it!"

"Mimi…kyu." hissed Mimikyu as Jessie ran off to get its outfit back when it went after her as well. Content with their findings, the trio of Murkrow flew back to the roof. One Murkrow was trying to get Mimikyu's disguise off its foot.

"That's not yours!" said Jessie, climbing a tree. "Give me back my handiwork, stat! Give it back. My malasada. Not yours. Give it back."

Down on the ground, Mimikyu watches as Jessie fights the trio of Murkrow. "Ugh, yes! Yum. And you, give it back." said Jessie, getting Mimikyu's outfit. "Give it back. Give it back! Ah! Got it!"

Jessie chuckles nervously as she realized that she jumped from the roof. Outside of the mall, James and Meowth groaned as they reached the doors. "Getting to this joint has been a real schlep and a half." said Meowth.

"Getting lost didn't help." said James, then looks behind him. "Huh? Wait. Where's Wobbuffet?"

"Shopping already?" asked Meowth.

"Perhaps there's a sale on mirror coats." said James, chuckling.

"Oh, you're a laugh riot." said Meowth as Wobbuffet walks up with leaves and twigs on its body.

"I'll have you know; Jessie would have laughed at that in a heartbeat." said James when suddenly an explosion was heard, causing them to scream. "What's going on?"

"Maybe Jessie heard your joke and busted a gut." joked Meowth.

"Oh, come on, that's not possible." said James, then runs inside with Meowth. "Or is it?"

"Wo." said Wobbuffet, falling to the ground. Once inside, James, Meowth and Wobbuffet were on the lookout for Jessie and Mimikyu.

"Whats that?" asked James as Meowth screamed while pieces of the Pikachu balloon fell to the ground.

"Jumbo Mega Evolution?" asked Meowth.

"If so, it devolved." said James. Groaning, Jessie appears from under the balloon.

"Why does this happen to me?" she asked herself.

"It was Jessie after all." said Meowth and Mimikyu runs towards her, still wearing the malasada bag, causing James and Meowth to gasp. "It's alive!"

"I got your outfit back. Good as new." said Jessie, holding the outfit in her hand as Mimikyu had tears in its eyes. "And this is for dessert."

"Mimikyu! Mimikyu!" Mimikyu hissed happily.

"For you, 50-50." said Jessie, splitting the malasada. "Manga."

Mimikyu takes the malasada from her and starts eating it. Jessie looks up as the Murkrow caws behind her. "Sorry, but that malasada is now history." Jessie tells the Murkrow trio. "Hungry? Go make your own. Ha!"

The Murkrows cawed in defeat as they left the mall, leaving Jessie to cackle in victory when the trio brought along their friends. "Isn't it a bit too early for revenge?" asked Jessie.

Mimikyu hisses and jumps for its outfit. It glares at the Murkrow for what they did and the bag that Mimikyu was wearing starts to rip, exploding on site. "Check that!" said Meowth as Jessie and James covered their eyes while Mimikyu rushes into its outfit. "Mimikyu! Ah!"

Meowth had looked at Mimikyu and was back in that long dark tunnel. "Oy vey. Guess it's déjà vu all over again." said Meowth, walking down the tunnel. "I don't need this. What am I doing in a place where a long dark tunnel's the only way to travel? I feel like I should keep walking but at the same time, I shouldn't."

Suddenly there was light up ahead, causing Meowth to finally smile. "Uh? Exit, straight ahead!" he exclaimed, running for the exit. "Soon, it'll be sunshine, lollipops, toys, games and prizes!"

When Meowth arrived, he sees a rainbow and a field of flowers. "Yay! I'm out of the dark! I'm out of the trap! I'm out of my mind with happiness!" Meowth shouted as he ran through the field of flowers.

Back in reality, Mimikyu hisses angrily at the Murkrow, who taunts Mimikyu. "You were right." said Jessie. "That suit makes a real fashion statement."

"Kyu!"

"Gadzooks, that was Mimikyu all the time." said James, before looking down at the now passed out Meowth. "Hm? You taking a nap, old chum?"

Murkrow cawed angrily as two Murkrows attacks Mimikyu. "Incoming, dodge!" said Jessie as Mimikyu dodges from side to side. "Now, Wood Hammer!"

Mimikyu's tail fueled with dark energy became huge as Mimikyu jumps into the air, knocking out two Murkrows. "That's incredible. Mimikyu actually did what Jessie said." said James, shocked as the entire flock of Murkrow flew away.

"Yee-ha-ha!" Jessie said in glee. "With my malasada-filled friend, there's no way you could whoop us!"

"Hey, attention, Jessie and Mimikyu." James called out.

"Huh? James!" said Jessie. "What are you doing here?"

"How much time you got left?" asked James as he and Wobbuffet dragged Meowth.

"Meowth! This isn't beddy-bye, you know!" said Jessie.

In Meowth's dream, Meowth was on Giovanni's lap, sighing happily as he gets petted on his head. "Come on! I'm living the dream, so zip it and let me go for the gusto!" he said to the viewers and readers when he heard Jessie's voice.

"Meowth!" said Jessie as he sighs happily again. "All sleeping beauties, ten hut!"

"Huh?" groaned Meowth as he wakes up.

"Did you have a nice nap?" asked James.

"All right, I'll bite. So where am I?" asked Meowth.

"Will you snap out of it?" asked Jessie. "Because right now, it's Twerp time."

"Now? You don't have a watch." said James as Jessie picks up Mimikyu.

"I don't need one because Mimikyu and I are a team." Jessie tells him as Mimikyu looked uncomfortable on her shoulder. "Let's fly like the wind."

"Jessie's lost it." said Meowth, watching Jessie take off in a hurry. Outside of the Pokémon school, Jessie challenged Ash to a Pokémon battle.

"Twice in one day?" asked Ash. "You guys must've had a good night's sleep or something like that."

"And are you guys coming back for round three?" Jordan asked with Meeko and Emma by her side. "Because I could always use the practice for my Z-Moves."

"Ha! Team Rocket revels in raw repetition. We'll clean your Twerpish clocks and repeat as often as necessary." said Jessie, then looks over her shoulder. "James, back me up. Right, Meowth? They're gone."

"Yoo-hoo?" Meowth called out as he, James and Wobbuffet waved to her from a safe distance. "We've got your back from a safe distance."

"Right. Better safe than sorry springs to mind." said James.

"Wobbu." said Wobbuffet.

"Smart cat." said Jordan.

"Cario." said Meeko, nodding in agreement.

"Lycanroc." growled Emma.

"Please. Look, this is payback time and you're paying me back with interest." said Jessie.

"Ash couldn't lose to you if he tried!" shouted Mallow.

"Yeah. All right, lets show them how hard we've been training." said Ash. "Lycanroc, Rock Throw, let's go!"

"Lycanroc!" howled Lycanroc, sending Rock Throw at Mimikyu.

"So it, Lycanroc!" cheered Mallow.

"You too, Ash!" cheered Lana.

"Mimikyu, use Wood Hammer!" said Jessie.

"Kyu!" hissed Mimikyu using Wood Hammer on Pikachu, rather than Lycanroc.

"You're attacking the wrong Twerp Pokémon, dum-dum." said Jessie.

"I'm afraid Pikachu's first on Mimikyu's list of scores to be settled." said James.

"Hey baby Twerp." said Meowth, calling Jordan over. "What are the odds of clearing this one up from the Orange islands?"

"I'll clear you…two Orange Islands and the outfit James wore when you guys tricked us to board the St. Anne." said Jordan, taking out a notebook.

"Thanks a bunch." said Meowth.

"You got it." said Jordan.

"Get over it." Jessie growled at Mimikyu. "Back to the task at hand."

"Pika! Pika!" Pikachu shouted at Mimikyu.

"Show 'em who's the boss." said Kiawe.

"Go, Ash, go!" they shouted.

"This time, no mistakes." said Ash.

"Roc!" growled Lycanroc.

"Time to show you what we can do!" shouted Ash, starting his Rock-Type Z-Move and Lycanroc howls.

"Say, watching you goof up twice is real entertainment." said Jessie. "Plus it's a great ego boost."

"Seeing you blast off with Bewear catching you is even better." said Jordan.

"Lycan!" growled Lycanroc.

"All right, here we go!" shouted Ash.

"AAAROOO!" howled Lycanroc.

"With full power!" shouted Ash as Lycanroc roared.

"Oh, my." said a frightened Jessie.

"Lycanroc, Continental Crush!" shouted Ash. Lycanroc howled as Continental Crush was finally summoned, causing Team Rocket to yell in fear. Once Continental Crush landed on Team Rocket, they screamed as it exploded. "You must have gotten food." said James.

"We're starving." said Team Rocket. "And we're off with a new blast."

"Roc!" said Lycanroc.

"Roc! Lycan!" said Emma, patting her friend's head.

"Hm." said Ash, smiling.

"Great job, Ash." said Jordan, running up to her brother and jumping into his arms.

"Training all day today really paid off with great victory." said Rotom.

"Ha! You did it, Ash and Lycanroc!" said Mallow as she and the others ran up.

Narrator: With a successful Continental Crush, Ash and Lycanroc have demonstrated their mastery of a rock-type Z-Move, as the Alolan sunset's warm glow shines its approval.

Jordan: Don't forget, soon enough I'm going to try Continental Crush with Emma.

Emma: Lycanroc.

Meeko: Lucario.

Jordan: By the way, thanks for helping me name my Lycanroc.

Narrator: Anytime. I was honored to have named her. As for Team Rocket….

Bewear heads back to its cave, dropping Team Rocket on the leaves. "Wobbu!" said Wobbuffet as Bewear squeals and the others gasped. "Wobbuffet!"

"Oh, Mimikyu, you sure are a handful." said Jessie, munching away on a berry. "But there's always next time and that's the perfect time to win."

"You're complaining, but at least you seem happy." said James.

"Not so much." said Jessie as James takes another bite and Mimikyu finally eats something.

Narrator: As the journey continues!
