• 0:00
  SPEAKER_00: In Valora, where steel and spirit are forged as one, a new journey begins.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: With friends by his side and courage in his heart, Caden sets out to rise above every trial.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_00: This is Pokemon Valor Rising.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_00: The morning sun stretched across Buckland's rolling fields as Caden, Crush, and Libby made their way into town toward the Buckland Gym.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: The peaceful quiet didn't last long.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_02: Whoa, hey, not that way.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: A frantic voice rang out ahead.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: The trio rounded a bend to find chaos in motion.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: A herd of Miltank had spilled out onto the road, dozens of them, happily wandering, mooing, and completely unconcerned with the world around them.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: A section of fence nearby lay splintered.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: A farmer waved her hat wildly.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_02: These darned mill tank, too well fed.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_02: I can't keep up with them.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: Libby's eyes lit up instantly.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_02: They're amazing.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: Caden blinked as he assessed the scene.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_02: There are uh a lot of them.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: Crush stepped forward.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_02: Well, don't just stand there.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_02: Let's help.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: Libby was the first to spring into action, pulling a pokeball from her belt.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_02: War Turtle, water gun.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_02: Nice and easy.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_02: Just enough to send him back the other way.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: War Turtle spread gentle arcs of water along the road, guiding the mill tank like a soft current.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: The herd shifted direction, following the cool mist.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: Cadent ran alongside them, noticing that a few stragglers had broken from the group.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_01: Steeleon, circle left, bring those ones back to the group.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: Steleon dashed with surprising speed, cutting off the wandering few and nudging them back toward the group with careful precision.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: Crush stepped toward the broken fence with his Machop close behind.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_02: This isn't so bad.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_02: Machop, wait until they're back inside the fence, then close it up.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: With a few more nudges from Steleon and a few more sprays from War Turtle, the massive, cow-like Pokemon were all back within the farm's bounds.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: Machop lifted heavy wooden beams like they were twigs, setting them back into place while Crush secured them with a rope.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: As the final mill tank shuffled back through the opening, the farmer let out a long breath.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: From behind the barn, a massive, shaggy bull Pokemon stepped into view.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: Broad-shouldered, powerful, hooves planted like stone.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: And Crush froze.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: The farmer chuckled.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_02: Ah.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_02: That there's a mootank.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_02: Male variant.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_02: Strong as they come.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: Crush tried his best to play it cool.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_02: Pretty solid, I guess.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: Machop flexed beside him.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: The mootank snorted, pawing at the ground.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: Crush blinked, relaxing his shoulders a bit as a smile crept across his face.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, that's awesome.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: Libby laughed as she watched.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: Crush's smile grew wider.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_02: Aw, you love it.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_02: I do not love it.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_02: You absolutely love it.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: Just as Crush began to crack with embarrassment, the farmer returned with a small bundle of gifts.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_02: You helped me.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_02: I won't forget that.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: She handed two carefully wrapped Pokemon eggs to Libby and Crush.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: Then she turned to Caden.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_02: And for you, something tells me you should have this.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: She placed a beautiful necklace in his hand.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_00: A smooth, glowing white scale shimmered in the sunlight.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: Caden tilted it gently as he examined the gift.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_01: What?
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_01: Huh?
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_01: What is this?
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: The farmer leaned back against the fence, thoughtful.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_02: Old story in my family.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_02: They said long ago two great dragons watched over this land.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_02: One shaped the earth, the other rolled a skies.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: The trio exchanged glances.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: The farmer smiled faintly.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_02: That scale said to belong to the one above.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: Caden looked down at it again, the light catching in its surface.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_01: It's amazing.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: The trio continued on into town as they admired their gifts.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: A few more minutes of walking, they had arrived.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: The Buckland Gym stood calm and quiet as before.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: But now it felt different.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: Serious.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: Intense.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: Clara waited at the center of the field.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: Her voice calm.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: It hadn't changed.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: But somehow it sounded different.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_02: You've seen what Buckland values.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_02: Now let's see if you've earned it.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: Caden looked left at Crush and Libby, and then right at Steleon, who was already poised for a fight.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_01: We're ready.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: Clara didn't hesitate, but she didn't rush either.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: She simply stepped forward, and the battle began.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_02: Indeedy, let's get started.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_02: Set the pace.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: The calm, normal, psychic combo appeared first, eyes glowing softly as a shimmering barrier rose across the field.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: Caden responded quickly.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: Valerut, let's go.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: Valarut surged forward with Vine Whip, striking hard, but Indeedy barely flinched, countering with a strong psychic attack that disoriented Valarut and forced him back step by step.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: Caden tensed as he watched Valarut struggle.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_01: Stay with it, hold your ground.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: Clara's voice remained steady as she called across the battlefield.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_02: Patience and strategy, young man.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_02: We're just getting started.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: And Didi lifted its hands, reflect, shimmered into place.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: Every attack from Valarut after that, just a little weaker than before.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: Then, after another wave of psychic energy, Valerut fainted.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: Caden knew this battle would be tough, but seeing Valarut defeat him hit him hard.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: But he wasn't about to let it stop them.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_01: Valarut, return.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: Syndrinal, you're up.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: Flames erupted as Syndrinel dove in with speed and scorching heat.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: Valarut had weakened the reflect enough that the flames hit hard and fast, forcing Indeedee out of the battle.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: But Clara had already moved on.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_02: Dub wool, it's your turn to endure.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_02: Get in there.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: The wool-coated tank stepped forward.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: Syndrenel struck fast.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: Flame charge.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: But Dubwool barely moved.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_02: Just like that.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_02: Now, cotton guard.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: Its wool thickened, doubling in density.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: Another attack.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: And another, but still, Dubwool stood.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: Crush turned to Libby and muttered, It's not trying to fight.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_02: It's trying to outlast.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: Caden's jaw tightened.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: Sindrenal had exhausted itself with the relentless wave of attacks.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_00: And with one single takedown from Dubwell, Syndrinal was out of the battle.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: Caden recalled Sindrenal and prepared for his next Pokemon.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_01: Gyarados, you can do this.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_01: Take the field.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: The ground trembled as Gyarados roared into battle, water surging beneath him.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_01: You have to break Dubwull's guard, get him off balance, and then use Hydropump.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: Gyarados dove into the water of the irrigation channel, creating a massive splash.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: Then, while Dub Wool's line of sight was broken, he swooped to the side and let out the attack.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: The blast hit clean, finally forcing Dubwool out of the fight.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: But Clara was unshaken.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_02: Now, Star Raptor, show him how we adapt.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: As if, according to a pre-written plan, the bird exploded into motion.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: Before Gyarados could react, Now, brave bird.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: The strike slammed into Gyarados's side, forcing him back into the channel and out of the battle.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: The speed, the timing, it broke Caden's momentum instantly.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: Libby shuddered as she whispered to Crush.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: She's got an answer for everything.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: But Caden refused to give in.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_01: You're great, Clara, but we aren't out of this.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_01: Gabite, go!
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_00: Gabyte burst forward with Dig, striking from below and catching Starraptor off guard just as it landed to regain some energy.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: But even then, Clara stayed calm.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_02: Recover your rhythm.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_02: Help's on the way.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: Starraptor pulled back, and Clara reached for another Pokeball.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_02: Let's see how you adapt to this, young man.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_02: Time to make this a duel battle.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_02: Mootank, get out there.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: The ground shook.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: Mootank stepped forward, massive, muscular, and calm.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: Crush's eyes widened just for a moment.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_02: That's a problem.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: Mootank didn't charge.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: It waited patiently as Star Raptor circled above.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_02: Mootank, book up.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_02: Star Raptor, hang tight.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_00: Mootank's frame tightened, muscles coiled like steel cables.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: Caden reacted with fierce determination.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: Rick, your time to shine.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: Get in there and use thundershock on that bird.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_01: Gabite, use dragonclaw on Mootank.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: The small crack of lightning from a reap landed a critical hit on Starraptor, knocking it from the battle.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: Gabite's Dragonclaw landed squarely on his opponent, but Mootank didn't move.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_00: Then it stepped forward.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_02: There's your opening.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_02: Close combat.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: The hit was devastating.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: Gabite was sent skidding across the field.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_00: Another Pokemon down.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: Now Caden felt it.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: The pressure.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: Every Pokemon he sent out was being worn down.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: Not overwhelmed, not outmatched, just outlasted.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: Clara's voice stayed calm and deliberate.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_02: Strength isn't loud, it's steady.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe you'll learn someday.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_00: Caden stood still for a moment, breathing, thinking.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: He scanned the field and steadied himself.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_01: We need you.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_01: Steleon has your back.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: The small Pokemon stepped forward as Kaden sent Steleon into the fight.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_00: Mootank immediately charged Steleon, who dodged and retreated to cover in the cornstalks of a nearby field.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_00: Not hiding, but waiting.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: Across the field, Clara gave a small nod.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_02: Go on then, Miltank.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_02: Teach them a lesson.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: Balorne Miltank stepped forward across from Mareep, soft pink fur glowing faintly, floral accents swaying gently.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_00: She didn't look intimidating until she moved.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_02: Alright then, Miltank.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_02: Play rough.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: The impact sent Mareep stumbling.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: Mareep growled in an attempt to unsettle the larger opponent, but Miltank barely noticed.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_00: Mareep tried again, this time with thundershock.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: It landed, but barely.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_00: Another hit came.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: Mareep dropped to the ground, struggling to stand but unwilling to quit.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: Caden's voice tightened.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_01: Stay with me! You can do this.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_01: Stay deep!
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: For a moment, everything went quiet.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: Then Mareep's wool began to glow as it stood up once again.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: Not sparks, not flickers, but a steady, building light.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: The air hummed, and then a flash.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: Mareep evolved into Flaffy.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: Libby jumped up, hugging Crush.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, she did it!
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: Crush nodded firmly.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_02: That's the break he needed.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_02: Now capitalize.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: Caden smiled for a second and then refocused.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_01: Awesome job, Flaffy.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: Now, thundershock!
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: This time it hit harder.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_00: Miltank staggered.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_00: For the first time, Clara took a small step back.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_00: Just then, a loud crash and a cloud of dust burst from the cornstalks.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: When the dust cleared, Mutank staggered with a dazed look in his eyes as Steleon emerged gracefully from the field.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_00: Caden saw his opening and didn't hesitate.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_01: Nice work, Steleon.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_01: Now switch!
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: The steel Pokemon stepped forward, steady and unshakable.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: Together now!
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_00: Flaffy fired again, electricity surging across the field toward Mutank, knocking him from the fight.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: Steleon followed with Ironhead directed at Miltank, striking through the opening.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: Miltank tried to pivot and guard, but this time she couldn't.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_00: The final blow had landed.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_00: Miltank fell, and silence filled the quarry.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_00: Then Clara smiled, a calm, knowing smile.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: Caden steadied his breath.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_02: You learned.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_02: You adapted.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: She stepped forward, holding out the badge.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_02: And you endured.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_00: Caden accepted it, hands still shaking slightly.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_02: You outlasted us, and most importantly, you earned this.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_00: Clara's expression shifted, and she spoke quietly now.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_02: There's something you need to know, and today you've proven you can handle it.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: She led them inside the gym barn.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_00: The trio shared worried glances as they followed.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: The door shuts softly behind them.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_02: You're not the only ones tracking Team Crucible.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: Caden blinked slowly as he felt Libby grab his arm.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_02: Uh what?
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_00: Clara continued with seriousness and grace.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_02: There's a group of us trainers, researchers, people who understand what's at stake.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_00: She paused for a second as she observed the young trainers.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_02: We call ourselves the Wardens of Valora.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_00: Crush's eyes narrowed.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_02: And you've been watching us?
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: Clara nodded.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, we had no choice.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_02: You've made yourselves quite known.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: Libby smirked, clearly proud of their adventures.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_02: Hard not to when Ray and Jay keeps showing up.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_00: Clara gave a small smile.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_02: We want to meet you.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_02: In Rivara.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_02: We're gathering there in a week.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_02: Crucible's making another move.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_00: Caden looked at his team.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_02: We'll be there.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_00: Clara wished them well and sent them on their way.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_00: That night, just outside Bucklin, the trio made camp and sat around a quiet fire.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_00: Libby and Crush carefully held their eggs near the warmth.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_02: They're kind of heavy.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_00: Libby said, shifting hers slightly.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_00: Crush nodded and knocked gently on his egg.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_02: Strong shells.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_00: Caden turned the white scale in his hand, watching it catch the firelight as he imagined what the dragon it belonged to might look like.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_00: The wind shifted and the fire crackled.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_00: And then crack.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_00: Libby froze as she looked down slowly.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_02: Did you hear that?
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_00: Crush's eyes widened.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_02: Hear it?
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_02: I felt it.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: Both eggs shook.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_00: A faint glow leaked through the shells.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: Caden leaned forward.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_01: Uh guys.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_00: The shells split.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_00: Light spilled out, bright and warm, flickering across their faces.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_00: The cracks widened, tiny shapes moving inside, pushing, breaking through.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_00: Libby gasped, eyes wide.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_02: They're hatching?
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_02: Right now?
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_00: Crush leaned closer, barely breathing.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_00: The fire dimmed against the growing glow.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_00: Shadows danced wildly across the trees.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_00: A final sharp crack.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_00: And then the fire went out.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_01: From the quiet beginnings, something new has emerged.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_01: The journey continues.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_01: This is Pokemon Valor Rise.
