• 0:00
  SPEAKER_00: In Valora, where steel and spirit are forged as one, a new journey begins.
• 0:06
  SPEAKER_00: With friends by his side and courage in his heart, Caden sets out to rise above every trial.
• 0:13
  SPEAKER_00: This is Pokemon Valor Rising.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: The road out of Oroch wound gently downward, stone giving way to soil, quarry dust fading into tall grass and fence lines.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: The land softened here.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: Rolling hills, scattered barns, and distant windmills marked the outskirts of Buckland territory.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: Caden walked out front, Stelion's metal plated steps ringing softly against the path.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: Ballarut trotted beside him, leaves rustling in the breeze.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: Gyarados stayed coiled in a narrow irrigation canal that paralleled the road, moving with surprising grace.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: Libby stretched her arms.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_04: Hard to believe.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_04: Her bar is just beyond a bucklin.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_04: Feels like everything's speeding up.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: Kruff nodded, eyes scanning the treeline.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_04: Which usually means trouble.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: Almost as if on cue, a sneeze rang out from a bush up ahead, followed by a who's you in a familiar tone.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: Caden frowned.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_02: You guys heard that too, right?
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: The trio paused and looked around when suddenly the ground gave way.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: With a loud crack, the road beneath them split apart.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: Stone plates tilted inward as a hidden pit snapped open, iron braces unfolding like jaws.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: Nets laced with heavy chains dropped from above, slamming down around the trio and their Pokemon.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: Libby yelped.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_04: It's a trap!
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: From the ridge above, laughter echoed.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: Ray stepped into view, silhouetted against the sun, arms crossed.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: Jay followed, cracking his knuckles.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: Bossi peeked over the edge, already trembling.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: Then, as if performing for a large crowd.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_04: Step where we guide you, the path lay just right.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: Every loose stone placed perfectly in sight.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_04: You followed the road, but never sensed the snare.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: Now you're caught in the jaws of a plan we prepared.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_04: From pitfall to pressure, from chain to command.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: We shaped the weak world with a firm, steady hand.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_04: The trap has been sprung, the hammer is set.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: Team Crucible's here, and the Laura's are bet.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_03: I don't have to go in there and get them, do I?
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, so predictable, these little heroes.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: You thought we wouldn't plan ahead?
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_03: Oh man.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_03: I told them not to dig this hole so deep.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: The trio grimaced and groaned as they fought to break free.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: The chains tightened.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: Valarut struggled, vines caught.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: Steleon braced, Metal Claws scraping the stone.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: But they were stuck.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: Really stuck.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: For what felt like hours, they struggled to break free as they heard chatter and laughter from Ray and Jay above.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: Caden's remaining Pokeballs had been knocked from his reach in the fall.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: Valarut and Steleon continued to struggle, and just then Caden had an idea.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_02: Everyone, stay calm.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_02: We've got this.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_02: Valarut, file up the supports.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: Valarut lashed out, snapping a brace.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: At the same time, Steleon slammed into the net with Ironhead, tearing a gap wide enough for Libby and Crush to roll through.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: Crush landed hard, already shouting commands.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_04: Machop, hold that side.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: Libby spun around quickly.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_04: War Turtle, water pulse.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: As the pit filled with water, Valarut grabbed Caden with leafy vines and pulled him out.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: Caden scrambled to collect what pokeballs he could, but he was unable to grab them all before Valarut pulled him out.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: They escaped the pit, but barely.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: Seemingly waiting for the moment they got out, Ray and Jade didn't wait for the trio to recover.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: In a flash, pokeballs were let loose.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_04: Mudsdale, high horsepower.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: Griddo King, Thunder Punch! The ground shook as Mudsdale charged, hooves cracking stone.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: Griddo King's armored shoulders crackled with electricity as it slammed forward.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: Caden countered quickly with the team he had gathered.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: Let's go, Goodbye.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_01: Use Dick.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_01: You too, Steleon.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_01: Use Metal Claw.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: But fatigue showed.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: The escape had cost them energy.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: Griddo King slammed Goodbye aside just as he emerged from the ground.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: Mudsdale barely flinched from the metal claw as it plowed through Steleon's guard.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: Livy cried out.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_04: We aren't prepared for this.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_04: War Turtle, protect yourself.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_04: Use withdraw.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: Crush gritted his teeth.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_04: They knew we'd be tired, but we can't let them win.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_04: Machop, focus your energy.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: Bossey barked from behind the villains.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: I really can't believe this is working.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: Griddo King roared with excitement while Mudsdale stomped in anticipation of the next command.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: The trio fell back behind a row of dense trees to regroup, breathing hard.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: But Team Crucible pushed forward.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: Caden could see the sinister smirks on Ray and Jay's faces as Griddo King and Mudsdale approached rapidly, ready to strike.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: The trio looked around and took a quick inventory of their team.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: Half of Caden's team was missing somewhere in the pit.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: The remaining Pokemon were ready and willing to fight.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: But now, as experienced trainers, it was plain to see the truth.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: Their Pokemon were exhausted.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: The ambush had taken its toll, and trying to fight this battle head on would only put their team in serious danger.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: Caden, Crush, and Libby exchanged worried looks.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: None of them knew what to do.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: Just as all hope seemed lost, a sharp whistle cut through the chaos.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: Stone exploded upward as Gigalith rose from the earth, crystals blazing.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: A second figure vaulted from the ridge, landing cleanly.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: Rev cracked his knuckles.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_02: Told you we had your backs.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: Avery grinned, lamp flaring.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_04: Miss us?
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: Ray's smile vanished.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_04: You've got to be kidding me.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_04: Who are those twerps?
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: Jay and Griddo King growled in unison.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, come on! There's more! Bossey whimpered.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: Uh yep! That's my cue! Time to leave! The momentum of the battle shifted instantly.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: Red's Gigolit slammed the ground, cutting off Griddo King's advance.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: Avery's Lycanrod darted in, forcing Mudsdale to pivot.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: Caden straightened.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_02: Alright then, round two.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: Together, they pushed back.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: Kabite dug deep and resurfaced with Dig, striking from below.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: Steleon followed with a crushing Iron Head.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: Gyarado surged forward from the water-filled pit, roaring with fury.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: Ray snapped at her team.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_04: Fall back.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_04: We'll finish this another day.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: Jay scowled.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: This isn't over.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: You can count on that.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: Bossey was already off in the distance, still running.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: Mudsdale kicked up dust.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: Griddo King fired a blinding spark, and when it cleared, the villains were gone, footprints vanishing into the night.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_00: Night settled quietly around them after the storm of the battle.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: The group shared hugs and heartfelt thanks with Avery and Rev.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: They knew they couldn't have done it without them.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: Later, they sat around a small campfire, sharing bread, roasted berries, and stories.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: Pokemon lounged nearby, Machop flexing lazily, War Turtle splashing at the edge of a creek, and Steleon standing watch.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_00: Avery passed a skewer to Libby.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_04: You held your ground.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_04: That's tough.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_00: Libby smiled and nudged Avery with a friendly elbow.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_04: Just biting my time until Backup got here.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: Rev nodded at Caden.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_02: Carrying more than badges now.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_02: You're carrying your team too.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_00: Caden looked at the fire, then at his friends, then at the pokeyballs he had recovered after losing them in the pit.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_04: You guys really saved us back there.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: Crush raised his cup.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_04: To Avery and Rev, and to not being alone.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_00: They clinked cups, and Bossy sneezed again, somewhere very far away.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_00: The fire burned low, embers glowing orange against the cool night air.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: Beyond the trees, the road stretched quietly toward Buckland Town.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_00: Crickets hummed, and a soft breeze stirred the grass.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: Caden sat cross-legged near the flames, Steleon resting beside him like a silent sentinel.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: Syndrinal stoking small embers near the edge of the fire.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: Crush poked at the fire with a stick.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_02: So, Buckland next.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: Caden nodded slowly.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we take on the gym and keep following Tim Crucible's row.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_02: The head for Rivara, where we can't fall behind.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: Libby looked across the flames.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_04: Normal type gym, right?
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_04: Shouldn't be too bad compared to Brock and Fire.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: Rev let out a low chuckle, and Avery smirked knowingly as she laid back against a tree trunk.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_02: Don't let the word normal fool you.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_00: Rev leaned back on his elbows.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: Avery nodded in agreement.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_04: Normal types adapt.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_04: They don't rely on one trick.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_04: They outlast you.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: Caden stared into the flames, watching sparks drift upward like tiny, shooting stars.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_00: He thought about the traps, about the ambush, the stolen drill, and the sleeping dragon beneath the earth.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_00: The road ahead didn't feel simple anymore.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: It felt heavy.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_00: Steleon shifted beside him, metal plates catching the firelight.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: Cadent rested a hand on her armor.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_02: We'll be ready.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_02: We learned a hard lesson.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: The fire cracked once more.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: The wind carried the smoke off to distant fields, and beyond the dark horizon, Buckland waited.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_02: When the roads turn dangerous, threatens make all the difference, and now the journey to Buckland continues.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_02: This is Pokemon Bell Horizon.
