Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_00: In Dallora, 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.
- 0:14SPEAKER_00: This is Pokemon Valor Rising.
- 0:57SPEAKER_00: Caden gripped the fishing rod gifted by the Lakevale fisherman.
- 1:01SPEAKER_02: This must be a spot the nurse told us about.
- 1:04SPEAKER_02: Let's test out my new rod.
- 1:06SPEAKER_00: Libby smirked.
- 1:08SPEAKER_01: Just don't fall in, okay?
- 1:10SPEAKER_01: One water rescue was enough.
- 1:12SPEAKER_00: Evie yipped, remembering, tugging at Caden's pant leg as if seconding the warning.
- 1:17SPEAKER_00: Caden gripped the fishing rod the Lakevale fisherman had given him.
- 1:21SPEAKER_00: His heart thumped with excitement.
- 1:23SPEAKER_02: Alright.
- 1:24SPEAKER_02: Let's see what's up there.
- 1:26SPEAKER_00: He cast the line with a practiced flick.
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: The bobber plopped into the water.
- 1:31SPEAKER_00: Seconds stretched into minutes.
- 1:34SPEAKER_00: Ripples circled lazily, but nothing tugged.
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: Caden reeled it back in and cast again.
- 1:39SPEAKER_00: Still nothing.
- 1:41SPEAKER_00: Another try, another long wait.
- 1:43SPEAKER_00: Still no bite.
- 1:45SPEAKER_00: Caden frowned.
- 1:47SPEAKER_01: Guess they're not biting today.
- 1:49SPEAKER_00: Crush leaned on the railing, arms folded.
- 1:52SPEAKER_01: Or maybe it's the fisherman.
- 1:53SPEAKER_00: He grinned faintly.
- 1:55SPEAKER_01: Let me try.
- 1:56SPEAKER_00: Reluctantly, Caden handed the rod over.
- 1:58SPEAKER_00: Crush's first cast cut smooth into the current.
- 2:02SPEAKER_00: Before the bobber even settled, the line jerked hard.
- 2:05SPEAKER_00: Crush braced, pulling steady.
- 2:07SPEAKER_00: Out of the water flopped a ragged-looking fish, scales patchy, but eyes bright.
- 2:12SPEAKER_00: Caden's Pokedex chimed.
- 2:17SPEAKER_02: It's shabby and ragged, but it survives by being tougher than it looks.
- 2:22SPEAKER_00: Libby burst out laughing.
- 2:24SPEAKER_01: You catch a fish on your first try, and it's that ugly thing.
- 2:29SPEAKER_00: Crush only shrugged, smirking.
- 2:31SPEAKER_01: A catch is a catch.
- 2:32SPEAKER_00: He clipped the ball to his belt.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: Libby snatched the rod next.
- 2:36SPEAKER_01: My turn.
- 2:37SPEAKER_00: She cast.
- 2:38SPEAKER_00: And before long, the line yanked sharp.
- 2:41SPEAKER_00: She squealed, reeling frantically.
- 2:43SPEAKER_00: Out of the water leapt a sleek horsey.
- 2:46SPEAKER_00: Its little snout sprang missed.
- 2:48SPEAKER_00: Libby nearly fell over from excitement.
- 2:51SPEAKER_01: Yes, look how cute it is!
- 2:53SPEAKER_00: Caden felt his chest tighten.
- 2:55SPEAKER_00: He took the rod back quickly.
- 2:57SPEAKER_02: Okay, okay.
- 2:59SPEAKER_02: This time I've got it.
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: But cast after cast, the bobber floated untouched.
- 3:06SPEAKER_00: Minutes dragged.
- 3:07SPEAKER_00: Libby sprawled on the dock, twirling her new horse's ball in her hands.
- 3:12SPEAKER_00: Crush stretched, already cleaning off the rod grips with a cloth.
- 3:17SPEAKER_01: You might be bad luck, Caden.
- 3:18SPEAKER_00: Libby teased.
- 3:19SPEAKER_01: Maybe the fishes don't like you.
- 3:21SPEAKER_00: Crush added, straight faced.
- 3:24SPEAKER_01: We could always try later.
- 3:25SPEAKER_01: No shame in calling it.
- 3:27SPEAKER_00: Caden gritted his teeth.
- 3:29SPEAKER_01: No, I'm not giving up.
- 3:31SPEAKER_00: He cast again.
- 3:32SPEAKER_00: Nothing.
- 3:33SPEAKER_00: Cast again.
- 3:34SPEAKER_00: Still nothing.
- 3:36SPEAKER_00: Evie barked once, as if to remind him of the promise they'd made at the start of their journey, to never quit.
- 3:42SPEAKER_00: Caden exhaled slowly, tightened his grip, and cast one more time.
- 3:47SPEAKER_00: The bobber bobbed lightly, then plunged hard under the surface, the rod bent almost double, nearly yanking him off the dock.
- 3:56SPEAKER_00: Whoa! He gasped, digging his heels into the planks.
- 4:00unknown: This is it!
- 4:01SPEAKER_00: With every crank of the reel, the line thrashed.
- 4:04SPEAKER_00: Water exploded in a golden spray.
- 4:07SPEAKER_00: Then, bursting from the surface came a magic carp, its scales shimmering bright gold in the sunlight, like treasure pulled from the river.
- 4:16SPEAKER_00: Libby gasped.
- 4:17SPEAKER_01: A shiny! You're kidding me!
- 4:20SPEAKER_00: Even Crush's jaw tightened.
- 4:22SPEAKER_01: That's super rare.
- 4:24SPEAKER_00: Caden's heart roared louder than the rushing current.
- 4:27SPEAKER_00: He hurled a pokeyball, the red light swallowing the glittering fish.
- 4:31SPEAKER_00: The ball rocked once, twice, three times, then clicked.
- 4:36SPEAKER_00: Caden held it close, chest heaving, eyes wide.
- 4:39SPEAKER_02: All that waiting! It it was worth it!
- 4:43SPEAKER_00: Evie leapt into his arms, yipping happily.
- 4:46SPEAKER_00: The others crowded close, even Libby grinning widely.
- 4:50SPEAKER_00: Crush shook his head, the corner of his mouth lifting.
- 4:53SPEAKER_01: Guess perseverance pays off.
- 4:56SPEAKER_00: Caden smiled, clutching the pokeyball like a prize hard-earned.
- 4:59SPEAKER_02: Welcome to the team, Magikarp.
- 5:02SPEAKER_02: We're going to show everyone just how strong you are.
- 5:05SPEAKER_00: The team continued on their way as the river path wound east, opening into a valley of endless green.
- 5:12SPEAKER_00: Golden fields of wheat rippled like an ocean under the breeze, while rows of corn stood tall and proud, their leaves rustling in rhythm.
- 5:20SPEAKER_00: Wooden windmills creaked lazily overhead, their long blades catching the sun as they turned.
- 5:26SPEAKER_00: Grenora wasn't a city of smoke and steel like Forgemont.
- 5:30SPEAKER_00: It was something different, a place where the land itself felt alive.
- 5:34SPEAKER_00: Silos gleamed silver in the distance, barns sat painted in bright reds and whites, and farmhouses dotted the hillsides like tiny anchors holding the rolling hills in place.
- 5:45SPEAKER_00: In a pasture to their right, a small herd of mill tank grazed, their bells clinking with each step.
- 5:51SPEAKER_00: Beyond them, a group of ponytaw and rapidash galloped freely through the tall grass, tossing their fiery manes as if the whole valley were their race track.
- 6:00SPEAKER_00: Caden slowed his steps, his eyes wide, drinking in the sight.
- 6:04SPEAKER_00: Evie trotted proudly beside him, tail high, while Marie bounded in playful hops just behind, bleeding softly whenever the wind lifted its wool.
- 6:14SPEAKER_00: Libby drew a long breath, stretching her arms out as if to hug the air.
- 6:18SPEAKER_01: The whole place smells like grass and bread, she said.
- 6:23SPEAKER_00: Her squirtle mimicked her, sniffing deeply before letting out an adorable sneeze.
- 6:29SPEAKER_00: Crush, walking with his steady stride, nodded.
- 6:32SPEAKER_01: The kind of place where strength grows steady, he said.
- 6:35SPEAKER_00: His Machop walked close, carrying himself with the same quiet confidence.
- 6:40SPEAKER_01: Quiet.
- 6:41SPEAKER_01: But firm.
- 6:42SPEAKER_00: The trio paused for a moment on a ridge.
- 6:44SPEAKER_00: From there, Grenora spread out below them, fields stitched together like a patchwork quilt, dotted with people and Pokemon working side by side.
- 6:53SPEAKER_00: In the distance, near the largest cluster of silos, stood a wide, open-air arena framed by trellises of climbing vines and rows of sunflowers.
- 7:02SPEAKER_00: Trainers moved in and out of its gates, while the faint cries of grass tight Pokemon carried across the fields.
- 7:09SPEAKER_00: Caden shaded his eyes.
- 7:11SPEAKER_02: The gym!
- 7:12SPEAKER_00: he murmured.
- 7:13SPEAKER_00: Evie's ears twitched as if she sensed the challenge waiting there.
- 7:17SPEAKER_00: A windmill turned slowly nearby, its blades pointing the way toward the heart of the farmland city where the gym leader Chloe waited.
- 7:25SPEAKER_00: The final stretch in a granora was peaceful, lined with the fields that shimmered gold under the sun.
- 7:31SPEAKER_00: But that peace was soon interrupted.
- 7:33SPEAKER_00: As the group passed a tall patch of wheat, a sudden shower of sparks burst from the stalks.
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: Caden froze.
- 7:40SPEAKER_02: What was that?
- 7:41SPEAKER_00: A small bird darted into view, wings flashing red-orange, scattering embers as it pecked at the wheat heads.
- 7:48SPEAKER_00: The dry stalks sizzled, tiny flames flickering before fading back into smoke.
- 7:54SPEAKER_00: Libby shielded her eyes.
- 7:55SPEAKER_01: That's not just any bird, that's an embird.
- 7:58SPEAKER_00: Caden's Pokedex chimed.
- 8:00SPEAKER_02: Emberd, the cinder sparrow Pokemon, only found at the Valora region.
- 8:06SPEAKER_02: It feeds on grains and coal cinders, sparking a flame from its wings to protect its nest.
- 8:13SPEAKER_00: The Pokemon screeched, eyes sharp, and turned toward the travelers, its wings fanned wide, scattering another spray of sparks as if warning them to stay back.
- 8:22SPEAKER_00: Caden's pulse jumped.
- 8:24SPEAKER_00: He stepped forward, planting his feet.
- 8:26SPEAKER_02: Looks like he wants to fight.
- 8:28SPEAKER_02: Alright, Evie, let's go.
- 8:31SPEAKER_00: Evie darted out in front, fur bristling with energy.
- 8:34SPEAKER_02: Quick attack!
- 8:35SPEAKER_00: Caden called.
- 8:37SPEAKER_00: Eevee shot forward in a blur, clipping the fiery bird and forcing it to spin midair.
- 8:42SPEAKER_00: Ember screeched and retaliated, scattering more glowing embers into the fields.
- 8:47SPEAKER_00: The stalks smoked again, but Evie shook off the sparks and stood her ground, eyes burning bright with determination.
- 8:56SPEAKER_02: Nice work!
- 8:57SPEAKER_00: Caden cheered as he reached for another Pokeball.
- 9:01SPEAKER_02: Gibble, your turn! Sand attack!
- 9:03SPEAKER_00: Caden shouted.
- 9:04SPEAKER_00: The little dragon dove in, kicking up a spray of grit that clouded Ember's vision.
- 9:10SPEAKER_00: The bird squawked and flapped wildly, just long enough for Gibble to leap and slam into it with a heavy tackle.
- 9:17SPEAKER_00: Caden hurled a pokeyball.
- 9:19SPEAKER_00: It struck, popped open in a flash of red light, and snapped shut.
- 9:23SPEAKER_00: The ball rocked once, twice, three times, then clicked.
- 9:28SPEAKER_00: Caden beamed, holding it high.
- 9:32SPEAKER_02: Got it!
- 9:34SPEAKER_01: Embered is ours.
- 9:36SPEAKER_00: Libby laughed, shaking her head.
- 9:38SPEAKER_01: Perfect.
- 9:39SPEAKER_01: Now your team's literally on fire.
- 9:42SPEAKER_00: Caden smiled and nudged Libby with his elbow as he clicked the ball to his belt and continued on.
- 9:48SPEAKER_00: As the team reached the city's open gates, the energetic hub of Grenora came into full view.
- 9:54SPEAKER_00: The main square bustled with carts piled high with vegetables, traders shouting prices, and children chasing Wulu between the stalls.
- 10:02SPEAKER_00: A tall windmill towered above, its sails catching every breeze.
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: At the edge of town stood the gym, its entrance framed with leafy vines and climbing roses.
- 10:12SPEAKER_00: Its sign bore a green leaf and stalk crossed over a windmill blade.
- 10:17SPEAKER_01: Here it is, Chloe's gym, Crush said.
- 10:20SPEAKER_01: The farmer gym leader who loves her grass types.
- 10:23SPEAKER_00: Libby's eyes danced.
- 10:26SPEAKER_01: Kindness and crops?
- 10:28SPEAKER_01: Or vicious vines ready to knock us flat.
- 10:30SPEAKER_00: Caden tightened his fist.
- 10:32SPEAKER_01: Either way, we'll be ready.
- 10:35SPEAKER_00: Before heading to the gym, the trio set camp on the edge of a barley field.
- 10:40SPEAKER_00: Caden spent some time getting acquainted with Emberd as the feisty winged Pokemon showed off some of its moves against Eevee.
- 10:47SPEAKER_02: Fast and full of fire!
- 10:49SPEAKER_00: Caden smiled.
- 10:51SPEAKER_02: You'll fit Raiden.
- 10:53SPEAKER_00: Evie yipped happily in agreement, offering approval of her new teammate.
- 10:57SPEAKER_00: Libby and Crush decided to train together.
- 11:01SPEAKER_00: Though their practices nearly always boiled over with sibling rivalry.
- 11:06SPEAKER_00: Machop and Squirtle circled in the dusty clearing nearby, their eyes locked.
- 11:10SPEAKER_00: Karate Chop! Crush commanded.
- 11:12SPEAKER_00: Machop's hand glowed as he swung down hard, but Squirtle tucked into his shell at the last second.
- 11:18SPEAKER_00: The strike landed with a crack against the tough shell.
- 11:22SPEAKER_00: Machop yelped, stumbling back and clutching his hand.
- 11:25SPEAKER_00: Libby burst into laughter.
- 11:27SPEAKER_01: Nice one, Crush.
- 11:29SPEAKER_01: You told him to karate chop a rock.
- 11:31SPEAKER_00: Squirtle peeked out of his shell with a cheeky grin before spitting a playful jet of water at Machop's legs.
- 11:37SPEAKER_00: Crush's mouth twitched, but he stepped forward quickly, dropping to one knee beside his partner.
- 11:43SPEAKER_00: Easy there, he said softly, taking Machop's hand and checking it carefully.
- 11:48SPEAKER_00: He turned it this way and that, his brow furrowed.
- 11:51SPEAKER_01: Sure, but you'll be fine.
- 11:53SPEAKER_01: You've taken harder knocks.
- 11:55SPEAKER_00: Machop flexed his fingers, nodding once.
- 11:58SPEAKER_00: His determined stare made it clear he wasn't done yet.
- 12:01SPEAKER_00: Crush rose, voice steady again.
- 12:04SPEAKER_01: Alright, let's try something different.
- 12:06SPEAKER_01: Seismic toss.
- 12:07SPEAKER_00: Machop shook out his hand, then lunged forward, grabbing Squirtle around the middle.
- 12:12SPEAKER_00: With a surprising burst of strength, he spun in a wide arc and slammed Squirtle down in a cloud of dust.
- 12:18SPEAKER_00: Squirtle popped out, dizzy but unharmed, arms crossed in protest.
- 12:23SPEAKER_00: Libby threw her hands up.
- 12:25SPEAKER_01: Oh, come on.
- 12:26SPEAKER_01: Again?
- 12:27SPEAKER_01: He's not a bailiff.
- 12:28SPEAKER_01: Hey, Crush.
- 12:30SPEAKER_00: Crush folded his arms, smirking faintly.
- 12:32SPEAKER_01: The technique was perfect.
- 12:34SPEAKER_00: Then he gave his sister a long look, one corner of his mouth tugging upward.
- 12:39SPEAKER_01: And I'll admit, you've been working hard.
- 12:41SPEAKER_01: Squirtle sharper than before.
- 12:43SPEAKER_00: Libby's grin widened, bright and proud.
- 12:47SPEAKER_00: The spar ended there, dust settling as Machop and Squirtle shook themselves off.
- 12:52SPEAKER_00: For the siblings, rivalry and respect walked hand in hand.
- 12:56SPEAKER_00: Caden chuckled, watching Emberd practice flicking sparks in rhythm with Mareep's static charges.
- 13:02SPEAKER_00: Eby dozed at his side, head resting on Magikarp's Pokeball.
- 13:06SPEAKER_02: Caden whispered, Someday you'll show everyone just how strong you are.
- 13:11SPEAKER_00: The wind rustled the fields, carrying the scent of earth and promise.
- 13:16SPEAKER_00: Ahead lay the gym, and a leader whose strength grew from soil and seed.
- 13:21SPEAKER_00: From rivers to fields, Caden's journey grows roots of strength, but every harvest comes with its trials.
- 13:28SPEAKER_00: This is Pokemon Valor Price,
