Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_02: In Dallora, where steel and spirit are forged as one, a new journey begins.
- 0:06SPEAKER_02: With friends by his side and courage in his heart, Caden sets out to rise above every trial.
- 0:14SPEAKER_02: This is Pokemon Valor Rising.
- 0:43SPEAKER_02: Waves slapping against Lake Bale's rocky shore.
- 0:46SPEAKER_02: The morning breeze carried the sting of salt and cold, but the trio stood ready.
- 0:51SPEAKER_02: Tomorrow's gym battle loomed, and there would be no easy victories here.
- 0:55SPEAKER_02: Crush drew a chalk circle in the sand.
- 0:58SPEAKER_01: If Marina's lapros fights the way I've heard, we'll need to push harder than before.
- 1:03SPEAKER_01: Machop, ready?
- 1:04SPEAKER_02: Machop grunted and stepped in.
- 1:07SPEAKER_02: Across from him, Squirtle shuffled his feet, giving Libby a sharp grin.
- 1:11SPEAKER_01: Don't hold back, Squirtle.
- 1:12SPEAKER_01: Let's give Big Brother a real match.
- 1:15SPEAKER_02: The two Pokemon clashed, fists against shell, water splashing over sand.
- 1:20SPEAKER_02: At first, it was even, until Machop suddenly scooped Squirtle up, whirled once, twice, and launched him skyward in a spinning arc.
- 1:29SPEAKER_02: Squirtle squealed before splashing into the shallows.
- 1:32SPEAKER_02: Libby yelped.
- 1:36SPEAKER_02: Crush blinked, half stunned, then a slow smile crept onto his face.
- 1:41SPEAKER_01: Seismic toss.
- 1:43SPEAKER_02: Machop flexed proudly.
- 1:45SPEAKER_02: Squirtle popped his head up from the water with an indignant squirt, bubbles foaming around his cheeks.
- 1:51SPEAKER_02: Libby groaned but couldn't hide her laugh.
- 1:53SPEAKER_02: Show off, she muttered, wringing out her socks.
- 1:56SPEAKER_02: Caden chuckled, watching Evie paw at the sand, ears alert.
- 2:00SPEAKER_00: If Machop is getting stronger, we need to keep up the pace.
- 2:05SPEAKER_00: Tomorrow's no joke.
- 2:06SPEAKER_02: The team practiced throughout the morning before heading into town.
- 2:10SPEAKER_02: Lakevale Gym sat on the docks, its doors marked with the carving of a crashing wave.
- 2:16SPEAKER_02: Inside, water pooled in stone channels that crisscrossed the floor, and the air carried a bite of icy mist.
- 2:23SPEAKER_02: At the far end stood Marina, a fisherwoman weathered by years on the inland sea.
- 2:28SPEAKER_02: Her coat smelled faintly of salt, and her eyes shone like cold surf.
- 2:33SPEAKER_02: Another challenger, she said, her voice calm but strong.
- 2:37SPEAKER_01: I hope you've trained well, because here we battle like the waves.
- 2:41SPEAKER_01: Relentless, powerful, and constant.
- 2:44SPEAKER_02: Caden swallowed, his fingers brushing Evie's ears.
- 2:47SPEAKER_01: We're ready.
- 2:48SPEAKER_02: The room fell silent, except for the sound of crashing waves.
- 2:52SPEAKER_02: For a moment, Caden closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and remembered his training.
- 2:57SPEAKER_02: A slight smile crossed his face as his eyes opened again.
- 3:00SPEAKER_02: They were ready.
- 3:02SPEAKER_02: Then the silence broke as the energetic voice of the referee rang out.
- 3:06SPEAKER_02: Gym battle! Begin! Marina wasted no time tossing her first ball.
- 3:11SPEAKER_01: Star you to the water.
- 3:13SPEAKER_02: The star-shaped Pokemon spun onto the battlefield, its gem pulsing.
- 3:18SPEAKER_00: Go, Eevee!
- 3:19SPEAKER_02: Caden shouted, brimming with the confidence that only comes with hard work and training.
- 3:24SPEAKER_02: Eevee bounded forward, fur bristling.
- 3:27SPEAKER_02: The match was fast and sharp as both Pokemon excelled with speed.
- 3:32SPEAKER_02: Star U firing bursts of water, Eevee dodging and countering with quick attack.
- 3:37SPEAKER_02: Step for step, strike for strike, they traded jabs until Eevee's tackle knocked Star U into the water channel with a splash.
- 3:45SPEAKER_02: The star bobbed once, then drifted still.
- 3:49SPEAKER_02: Marina nodded, returning it without breaking focus.
- 3:52SPEAKER_01: Not bad, kiddo, but now the tide rises.
- 3:56SPEAKER_02: A flash of light from a second Pokeball revealed Lapras, its shell gleaming, eyes steady as the sea itself.
- 4:04SPEAKER_02: The great Pokemon loosed a cry that echoed like a foghorn.
- 4:08SPEAKER_02: Lapras, ice beam, Marina commanded, wasting no time.
- 4:12SPEAKER_02: A lance of frost streaked across the field.
- 4:15SPEAKER_02: Evie leapt but caught the edge of the ice beam.
- 4:18SPEAKER_02: Her paws skidded to a stop, her fur trimmed with frost.
- 4:22SPEAKER_02: Caden's chest clenched.
- 4:24SPEAKER_00: Evie, you've got this! Use iron tail!
- 4:29SPEAKER_02: Her tail shimmered with sudden metallic light, even brighter than before.
- 4:33SPEAKER_02: With a desperate cry, Evie struck Lapras across the cheek.
- 4:37SPEAKER_02: The great Pokemon staggered, but didn't fall.
- 4:40SPEAKER_01: Strong and fast, impressive, Marina said evenly.
- 4:44SPEAKER_01: But physical prowess alone won't win this battle.
- 4:47SPEAKER_01: Lapras, you surf.
- 4:49SPEAKER_02: Lapras released a wave of icy water that crashed over Evie, knocking her flat.
- 4:54SPEAKER_02: She struggled to her feet, but her legs quivered beneath her.
- 4:57SPEAKER_02: Caden's hands shook as he lifted a Pokeball and gritted his teeth.
- 5:02SPEAKER_00: You've done enough, girl.
- 5:04SPEAKER_00: Rest now.
- 5:05SPEAKER_02: He looked to his belt.
- 5:06SPEAKER_02: His choice was clear.
- 5:08SPEAKER_02: Speed and strength got them this far, but strategy would win them the day.
- 5:13SPEAKER_00: Marip, it's your turn.
- 5:15SPEAKER_02: Mareep bounded forward, static flickering in its wool.
- 5:19SPEAKER_02: Lapras loomed like a mountain, but Caden's voice rang firm.
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: Thunderwave!
- 5:24unknown: Now!
- 5:25SPEAKER_02: A crackle of lightning webbing leapt from Mareep, snapping across the damp floor and into Lapras's chest.
- 5:31SPEAKER_02: The great Pokemon snarled and groaned.
- 5:34SPEAKER_02: Lapras, use surf again, Marina called, but Lapras couldn't move, paralyzed by the thunderwave.
- 5:41SPEAKER_02: Caden's eyes brightened with excitement.
- 5:44SPEAKER_00: Now we've got them! Mareep, use thundershock!
- 5:47SPEAKER_02: Mareep's wool glowed to life with electrical energy.
- 5:51SPEAKER_02: A crack of lightning split the room in an instant before striking a critical hit on Marina's Lapras.
- 5:57SPEAKER_02: The Pokemon roared, staggered, and collapsed into the water channel, sparks dancing across its shell.
- 6:04SPEAKER_02: The referee's flag went up.
- 6:05SPEAKER_02: Lapras is unable to battle! Victory goes to the challenger.
- 6:09SPEAKER_02: Caden of Unionville is the winner.
- 6:12SPEAKER_02: Caden exhaled, knees weak with relief, eyes beaming with pride.
- 6:17SPEAKER_02: Marina recalled her partner, a faint smile touching her lips.
- 6:21SPEAKER_01: You faced the tide and stood firm.
- 6:23SPEAKER_02: She said.
- 6:24SPEAKER_01: Take this badge as a proof of your strength.
- 6:26SPEAKER_02: Caden accepted the shining token, holding it high before sharing hugs and high fives with Libby and Crush.
- 6:34SPEAKER_02: Outside of the gym, the pier bustled with gulls and fishermen.
- 6:38SPEAKER_02: Caden barely had time to admire his badge before a booming laugh echoed down the dock.
- 6:44SPEAKER_02: Well, well, well.
- 6:46SPEAKER_02: Look who strutted out of the gym like a big shot.
- 6:49SPEAKER_02: Caden groaned.
- 6:51SPEAKER_00: Oh no.
- 6:52SPEAKER_02: Uncle Wes strode up, hat tipped, mustache bristling with Meowth at his side, and a new partner clinging nervously to his shoulder.
- 7:01SPEAKER_02: This here's Esper, Wes announced, and we're here to prove today's my day.
- 7:07SPEAKER_02: We was thinking about taking down that gym leader, but we don't mind a little appetite before the main course.
- 7:13SPEAKER_02: Gibble's Pokeball pulsed with energy in Caden's hand.
- 7:17SPEAKER_02: Caden could feel Gibble's frustration after being left out of the gym battle.
- 7:21SPEAKER_02: He was ready.
- 7:22SPEAKER_02: Caden unclipped the ball from his belt and tossed it forward.
- 7:26SPEAKER_00: Now Gibble, it's your turn!
- 7:28SPEAKER_02: The little dragon stomped forward, eyes burning.
- 7:31SPEAKER_02: Esper! Use confusion! Wes barked.
- 7:35SPEAKER_02: The psychic pulse flashed, but Gibble tore through it, clamping down with a fierce bite before tossing Esper to the side and then slamming the small cat with a fierce tackle.
- 7:46SPEAKER_02: The tiny Pokemon toppled, eyes swirling as it fell to the ground.
- 7:51SPEAKER_01: Well, that was quick, Libby chuckled.
- 7:54SPEAKER_01: Little guy has some serious juice.
- 7:56SPEAKER_02: Crush said, slightly impressed.
- 7:58SPEAKER_02: What?
- 7:59SPEAKER_02: Already, Wes sputtered, recalling Esper.
- 8:03SPEAKER_02: No matter, Meowth, you're up.
- 8:06SPEAKER_02: They had been here before, and Caden knew just what to do.
- 8:11SPEAKER_00: Gibble, return! Evie, make it happen!
- 8:14SPEAKER_02: Evie sprang forward, tail already glowing as she let loose with Iron Tail.
- 8:19SPEAKER_02: She struck Meowth hard, knocking him back, but she staggered as she landed, her body still worn from the fierce gym battle.
- 8:27SPEAKER_02: Wes grinned wide.
- 8:28unknown: Ha!
- 8:29SPEAKER_02: Looks like your little fur ball's out of gas, boy.
- 8:32SPEAKER_02: Make 'em pay, Meowth.
- 8:34SPEAKER_02: Caden's voice cut sharp.
- 8:36SPEAKER_00: Not a chance.
- 8:37SPEAKER_00: Evie, get some rest.
- 8:39SPEAKER_00: Gibble, get out there and finish what you started.
- 8:44SPEAKER_02: Gibble burst from his pokeyball, eyes blazing, and roared like a beast triple his size.
- 8:50SPEAKER_02: A blast of dragon rage surged across the pier, exploding in Meowth's path.
- 8:56SPEAKER_02: When the smoke cleared, Meowth lay sprawled and fainted.
- 8:59SPEAKER_02: Wes gasped, red-faced.
- 9:02SPEAKER_02: This ain't over! Next time I'll I'll he stomped off, muttering, with Meowth dangling limply in his arms as he complained to the gathered crowd that the sea-salty air had blurred his vision.
- 9:14SPEAKER_02: Libby giggled.
- 9:15SPEAKER_01: Maybe he needs another 20 years of practice.
- 9:18SPEAKER_02: Carter cracked the smallest smile.
- 9:20SPEAKER_01: I'm not sure practice fixes all of that.
- 9:24SPEAKER_02: That evening, the trio finally rested at Lakevale's Pokemon Center.
- 9:29SPEAKER_02: Their partner safe in the care of the nurses.
- 9:31SPEAKER_02: The team's laughter carried softly as they shared food and stories while the tension of the day eased.
- 9:38SPEAKER_02: As they prepared to leave, the nurse smiled at them.
- 9:41SPEAKER_01: Head and knee, Staria.
- 9:42SPEAKER_01: There's a fine fishing spot just outside of town.
- 9:45SPEAKER_01: Many trainers find it worth their time.
- 9:47SPEAKER_02: Caden glanced down at Evie, who wagged her tail.
- 9:50SPEAKER_02: The thought lingered.
- 9:53SPEAKER_00: Sounds like some well-earned relaxation, if you ask me.
- 9:57SPEAKER_02: Libby perked up.
- 9:58SPEAKER_00: Let's do it.
- 9:59SPEAKER_02: Crush nodded in approval, trying to hide his excitement.
- 10:03SPEAKER_02: The team settled in for the night and rested.
- 10:05SPEAKER_02: Caden's head filled with dreams of victory as he slept.
- 10:09SPEAKER_02: He knew the road to the top was long, but he couldn't wait to take the next step with his team and his friends at his side.
- 10:16SPEAKER_02: Beyond Lakevale, the road to Grenora City awaited.
- 10:19SPEAKER_02: But already the inland sea had left its mark, in victory, in rivalry, and in the promise of something yet to come.
- 10:28SPEAKER_02: With the tide conquered and the badge in hand, Caden's journey surges forward, but storms never stay calm for long in Valora.
- 10:36SPEAKER_02: This is Pokemon Valor Rising.
