Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_00: In Ballora, where Steel and Spirit are forged as one, a new journey begins.
- 0:06SPEAKER_00: With friends by his side and courage in his heart, Caden sets out to rise above every trial.
- 0:13SPEAKER_00: This is Pokemon Valor Rising.
- 0:40SPEAKER_00: The morning light cut through the soot-streaked windows of the Sindrel Grand Hotel, painting gold on steel.
- 0:48SPEAKER_00: Caden woke before the others, drawn to the steady rumble of trains in the distance.
- 0:53SPEAKER_00: Evie yawned beside him, tail flicking.
- 0:56SPEAKER_00: Goodbye stretched near the window, sharp eyes catching the glow of furnaces beyond the hills.
- 1:02SPEAKER_00: Soon, Crush and Libby joined him outside by the rail yard, where heat shimmered off the black rock piles.
- 1:08SPEAKER_00: Crush wiped his brow.
- 1:10SPEAKER_01: Hard to tell if it's morning or just Furnace is pretending to be the sun.
- 1:14SPEAKER_00: Libby laughed, adjusting her bandana.
- 1:17SPEAKER_01: Feels like walking into a toaster.
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: The trio began their morning training.
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: Gabite practice dig, disappearing beneath the gravel and bursting out with precision.
- 1:27SPEAKER_00: Syndranel scorched the sky with flame charge, the heat rippling in waves.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: Evie darted between them, nimble as lightning.
- 1:35SPEAKER_00: But Caden's eyes kept drifting to one pokeyball on his belt.
- 1:39SPEAKER_00: He unclipped it, feeling its faint tremor.
- 1:43SPEAKER_02: You're ready for work, aren't you, Magikarp?
- 1:47SPEAKER_00: He released the golden fish into a small trough of water.
- 1:50SPEAKER_00: It flopped rhythmically as if testing its strength.
- 1:53SPEAKER_00: Libby smirked.
- 1:54SPEAKER_01: Still waiting for that moment, huh?
- 1:57SPEAKER_00: Caden smiled softly.
- 1:59SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but something tells me it's coming very soon.
- 2:02SPEAKER_00: The team spent a few more moments practicing before they packed up their things and headed across town to face the gym challenge.
- 2:10SPEAKER_00: After a short walk, the team ended up at the doors of a massive building.
- 2:15SPEAKER_00: Sindrel's gym was a marvel of engineering, a cathedral of heat and flame.
- 2:20SPEAKER_00: The walls were lined with red-hot furnaces, gears, and conveyor belts feeding coal into roaring fires.
- 2:27SPEAKER_00: Overhead, steam pipes hissed, and rivers of molten glow reflected on metal catwalks.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: Running through the center was a narrow water channel, its surface rippling with steam.
- 2:39SPEAKER_00: Trainers used it to cool overheated Pokemon, or themselves.
- 2:44SPEAKER_00: Standing stoically at the far end of the gym was Caleb, broad-shouldered, soot streaked, and calm as stone.
- 2:51SPEAKER_00: His miner's coat hung open, revealing clothing scarred by years of work and battle.
- 2:56SPEAKER_00: Name's Caleb, he said, voice deep as a mountain.
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: This gym tests not just fire, but endurance.
- 3:03SPEAKER_00: The heat here doesn't just burn, it builds.
- 3:07SPEAKER_00: Caden met his gaze.
- 3:09SPEAKER_02: We're ready to be tested.
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: Caleb grinned faintly.
- 3:12SPEAKER_00: We'll see.
- 3:14SPEAKER_00: A bead of sweat formed over Caden's brow as the announcer called out.
- 3:19SPEAKER_02: Pokemon battle! The Challenger Caden versus your central town leader.
- 3:24SPEAKER_02: Caleb, begin!
- 3:25SPEAKER_00: The heat intensified as Caleb tossed a pokeyball and released his first Pokemon.
- 3:30SPEAKER_00: Magmar.
- 3:31SPEAKER_00: The air shimmered with heat waves around it.
- 3:34SPEAKER_00: Caden dug in his heels and led with Evie, who crouched low, fur bristling.
- 3:39SPEAKER_00: Wasting no time, Caleb barked out his first command.
- 3:42SPEAKER_00: Magmar, use flame burst!
- 3:45SPEAKER_02: Eevee, use quick attack!
- 3:47SPEAKER_00: Caden countered.
- 3:48SPEAKER_00: Evie darted through the fire, landing a sharp hit, but the flames licked her fur.
- 3:53SPEAKER_00: She coughed, shaking off the heat.
- 3:55SPEAKER_00: Magmar followed immediately with another flame burst that sent sparks flying back towards Caden.
- 4:01SPEAKER_00: Evie countered again with a quick attack, but the searing heat caught up to her as she stumbled, exhausted.
- 4:07SPEAKER_00: Caden recalled her quickly.
- 4:09SPEAKER_02: Evie, way to get us started.
- 4:11SPEAKER_02: Take a break and rest up.
- 4:13SPEAKER_00: He grabbed his next Pokeball.
- 4:15SPEAKER_02: Sindrenel, let's fly!
- 4:17SPEAKER_00: The fiery bird soared into the air, wings flaring like burning embers.
- 4:21SPEAKER_00: Magmar grunted, unimpressed.
- 4:24SPEAKER_00: Flame charge! Caleb called out, wasting no time.
- 4:28SPEAKER_02: Now use wing attack!
- 4:29SPEAKER_00: Caden responded.
- 4:31SPEAKER_00: The two collided in a storm of heat and ash.
- 4:34SPEAKER_00: Syndrenal used its superior speed and agility to dart in and out of the fight, landing attacks between blasts of fire from Magmar.
- 4:42SPEAKER_00: Then, when the smoke cleared, Magmar was down, and Syndrinal hovered triumphantly.
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: Caleb nodded approvingly.
- 4:51SPEAKER_00: Impressive.
- 4:52SPEAKER_00: But the fire's just getting started.
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: He recalled Magmar and threw another ball.
- 4:58SPEAKER_00: Arcanine appeared, mane blazing, growling like a furnace coming to life.
- 5:03SPEAKER_00: Caleb narrowed his eyes.
- 5:05SPEAKER_00: Use extreme speed! The fiery beast galloped forward at an incredible rate and struck with a flare blitz before Syndrinel could react, knocking it backward.
- 5:15SPEAKER_02: Syndrinal, return!
- 5:17SPEAKER_00: Caden called.
- 5:18SPEAKER_02: Gabite, your turn.
- 5:19SPEAKER_02: Make it happen!
- 5:20SPEAKER_00: Gabite immediately dug deep to avoid a blast of fire, and then burst from below to land a dragon rage attack that shook the platform.
- 5:29SPEAKER_00: Arcanine stumbled but countered with a flamethrower, forcing Gabite back.
- 5:33SPEAKER_02: Dig! Again!
- 5:34SPEAKER_00: Caden yelled.
- 5:35SPEAKER_00: Gabite disappeared beneath the metal flooring, only to reappear behind Arcanine and deliver the finishing blow with another Dragon Rage attack.
- 5:44SPEAKER_00: Caleb grinned, sweat beating on his brow.
- 5:46SPEAKER_00: You've got heart, kid, but heart alone won't stand against this.
- 5:51SPEAKER_00: Caleb's third and final pokeyball opened with a burst of smoke and heat.
- 5:56SPEAKER_00: Colossal emerged.
- 5:58SPEAKER_00: A mountain of molten rock and flame, its eyes glowing like embers.
- 6:02SPEAKER_00: Colossal! Get out there and show him what true endurance looks like.
- 6:06SPEAKER_00: Caleb barked, confidence unshaken.
- 6:09SPEAKER_00: Caden took a deep breath.
- 6:12SPEAKER_02: Goodbye.
- 6:13SPEAKER_02: Take a break.
- 6:13SPEAKER_02: Mareep, you're up.
- 6:15SPEAKER_00: The little sheep charged bravely, fur crackling with sparks.
- 6:20SPEAKER_02: Use Thunderwave!
- 6:21SPEAKER_00: The attack hit, but had no impact.
- 6:24SPEAKER_00: Crush winced at the misstep.
- 6:26SPEAKER_01: Not a good matchup for Mareep.
- 6:28SPEAKER_01: Electric type moves aren't gonna do anything.
- 6:30SPEAKER_00: Colossal stomped, sending tremors through the floor.
- 6:34SPEAKER_00: Rock slide sent debris flying, and a single hit toppled Mareep.
- 6:38SPEAKER_00: Libby gasped.
- 6:40SPEAKER_01: Mareep's down!
- 6:42SPEAKER_00: Caden's fist tightened.
- 6:43SPEAKER_00: For a moment a shadow of doubt crept in his mind.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: How could he make such a simple error?
- 6:48SPEAKER_00: He knew better, but Mareep paid the price for his mistake.
- 6:52SPEAKER_00: Just then he looked at Evie, who limped to her feet, still tired but determined.
- 6:57SPEAKER_00: Even in the midst of a tough battle and a bad mistake, he could tell she still believed in him.
- 7:03SPEAKER_00: Suddenly, the doubt was gone and the fire of battle was back.
- 7:07SPEAKER_02: Alright, Evie, let's get it another shot.
- 7:09SPEAKER_02: Irontail.
- 7:11SPEAKER_00: She leapt high, her tail gleaming silver, and struck true.
- 7:14SPEAKER_00: But Colossal barely flinched.
- 7:17SPEAKER_00: A blast of heat sent her tumbling back into Caden's arms.
- 7:20SPEAKER_00: He was running low on options, but never considered giving up.
- 7:25SPEAKER_02: Gabite, get back in there and give it your best shot.
- 7:29SPEAKER_00: Gabite lunged forward and dug underground.
- 7:32SPEAKER_00: Caleb smirked at the sight.
- 7:33SPEAKER_00: Colossal! Now's the time.
- 7:36SPEAKER_00: Use Earthquake.
- 7:37SPEAKER_00: The attack shook the ground so violently that it seemed like the building would come down around them.
- 7:43SPEAKER_00: Spectators were shaken from their seats and debris fell from the ceiling.
- 7:47SPEAKER_00: When Gabite finally emerged from the ground, he was dazed and exhausted, unable to continue.
- 7:53SPEAKER_00: That left only two.
- 7:54SPEAKER_00: Caden had learned his lesson about type advantages and knew this wasn't the fight for Bucknut.
- 8:00SPEAKER_00: He wouldn't stand a chance.
- 8:01SPEAKER_00: That left him only one choice.
- 8:04SPEAKER_00: Caden's hand hovered over Magikarp's ball, shaking slightly as the pressure settled around him.
- 8:09SPEAKER_00: Something deep inside told him now.
- 8:12SPEAKER_00: It's time.
- 8:14SPEAKER_02: Alright, partner.
- 8:15SPEAKER_02: Time to show everyone what you you can do.
- 8:19SPEAKER_00: He grabbed the Pokeball and threw it into the water channel.
- 8:22SPEAKER_00: Magikarp splashed into the steaming current.
- 8:25SPEAKER_00: The heat simmered.
- 8:26SPEAKER_00: Too hot, too fast, and Magikarp struggled against it, swimming upstream toward the giant Colossal.
- 8:33SPEAKER_02: Magikarp, bite the current! Don't let the heat win.
- 8:37SPEAKER_00: Colossal unleashed a torrent of fire into the channel, boiling the water.
- 8:42SPEAKER_00: But still, the golden Magikarp swam.
- 8:45SPEAKER_00: And then the world flashed white.
- 8:48SPEAKER_00: The water erupted in steam and light.
- 8:51SPEAKER_00: From the boiling channel rose a massive, crimson form, scales glinting like polished rubies.
- 8:57SPEAKER_00: Shiny Gyarados.
- 8:59SPEAKER_00: Libby's eyes widened.
- 9:01SPEAKER_01: No way.
- 9:02SPEAKER_00: Crush whispered, awestruck.
- 9:04SPEAKER_01: It evolved.
- 9:07SPEAKER_00: Gyarados let out a deafening roar that shook the entire gym.
- 9:11SPEAKER_02: Awesome! Show them what you've got!
- 9:13SPEAKER_00: Caden commanded.
- 9:15SPEAKER_00: The great red serpent coiled back, his scales gleaming like molten metal in the flickering furnace light.
- 9:21SPEAKER_00: Steam hissed as the water channel beneath him surged and boiled.
- 9:25SPEAKER_00: Gyarados drew in a breath so deep it seemed to pull the air from the entire room.
- 9:31SPEAKER_00: Then came a blast.
- 9:33SPEAKER_00: A roaring column of water exploded from his jaws, spiraling with blinding force.
- 9:38SPEAKER_00: The surge hit the furnace walls first, scattering sparks and steam in every direction, then slammed full force into Colossal.
- 9:47SPEAKER_00: The impact was thunderous.
- 9:49SPEAKER_00: Metal rang, rock cracked, and a shockwave rolled through the gym, rippling across the water's surface.
- 9:56SPEAKER_00: Colossal stood for a single breath, trembling under the torrent's weight, then crashed to its knees, the fires in its core dimming to embers.
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: Silence.
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: Then the crowd erupted in cheers.
- 10:09SPEAKER_00: Caleb raised a hand, laughing heartily.
- 10:12SPEAKER_00: Wow! That's power! He walked over, handing Caden a gleaming badge shaped like a burning coal.
- 10:19SPEAKER_00: You've gotten the heat in your heart, kid.
- 10:21SPEAKER_00: Keep it burning.
- 10:23SPEAKER_00: The team shared hugs and high fives before heading out of the gym back into Central Town.
- 10:30SPEAKER_00: That evening, the trio walked through the cooling city streets.
- 10:33SPEAKER_00: Workers were still cleaning up from the coal car disaster.
- 10:36SPEAKER_00: At a diner window, voices murmured.
- 10:39SPEAKER_00: The trio listened, but were only able to pick up small pieces of conversation.
- 10:43SPEAKER_00: The crash might have been a setup?
- 10:46SPEAKER_00: Blueprints for a giant drill are missing?
- 10:49SPEAKER_00: Something about a group called Crucible?
- 10:52SPEAKER_00: Caden froze.
- 10:54SPEAKER_00: Libby met his eyes.
- 10:56SPEAKER_01: The fires in Grenora.
- 10:57SPEAKER_01: The accident here.
- 10:59SPEAKER_00: Crush's jaw set.
- 11:00SPEAKER_01: All connected.
- 11:02SPEAKER_00: Caden clenched his fist around the new badge.
- 11:04SPEAKER_02: Then we're not done yet.
- 11:06SPEAKER_02: We're heading to a rock.
- 11:07SPEAKER_02: If anyone knows what the drill can do, they will be there.
- 11:12SPEAKER_02: We have to stop them before they find Foundrake.
- 11:16SPEAKER_00: Above them, sparks drifted from the smokestacks, fire against the night sky.
- 11:21SPEAKER_00: For now, the gym badge shone bright in Caden's hand, but somewhere beyond those hills, darker fires were burning, and soon the true forge of Valora would ignite.
- 11:33SPEAKER_00: When the flames rise higher, so must the heart.
- 11:36SPEAKER_00: The road to Orak awaits, and the battle for Valora is only beginning.
