- This little Yamper's in my way.
That's fine.
You know what? We'll come back for them.
No, no, no, stay!
Stay!
(peppy electronic music)
- Hey guys, it's Inga.
Welcome back to the Pokemon
Shield/Sword Nuzlocke challenge.
I think today we will be stopping by
our very first Pokemon gym.
- I'm gonna fight every
trainer I come across
but I'm not gonna really
grind out this time.
- My squad is great.
It's well balanced, I'm ready
to go take on the Gym Leader.
- Everyone's still alive.
There has been no deaths yet.
All right, let's do it.
- So we gotta go to the ceremony first.
This is it.
Now my legend really begins!
Watch out, Zach!
I'll beat you to Motostoke.
Dude's always running off.
- Okay, so now it's time
for the opening ceremony.
We've got people we want to see.
Is he saying the same stuff?
Yep.
Oh, I wish.
I gotta get my uniform.
- Number two.
Coming at ya.
You look sharp as a pin.
Thank you.
Now we're ready at last
for the opening ceremony
for this year's gym challenge!
All right, let's do it!
- All right you guys,
opening ceremony, here we go.
- Yeah.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah, we're happy for Pokemon, yeah!
Yeah, yeah, that's your boy.
It's the chairman.
- Ladies and gentlemen!
I am Rose, chairman of the Pokemon League.
- It is my pleasure to
announce that finally
the Galar region Gym
Challenge will now begin.
- You gotta defeat the
eight Gym Leaders, yep.
- Now, I would like to invite
the Gym Leaders to show themselves!
Here we go, let's see!
- Yeah.
Slow-mo walk out to let
everybody know you're cool.
- All right, we've got
the fighting farmer.
Grass-type expert, Milo.
- Water-type, Nessa.
Easy peasy, I'm Grass-type.
- Here comes the Fire-type veteran, Kabu.
- The karate prodigy, Bea.
- Then the Fairy-type user, Opal.
Granny!
- The hard-rock crusher, Gordie!
- Raihan, the top Gym Leader.
He's so cool.
- Unfortunately, we're missing one, but...
- Very ominous, who is that gonna be?
- These are the Gym Leaders that we
in the Galar region are
proud to call our own!
(exclaims)
- And here's me.
- Step, now is your dream come true.
213, what it be?
It's Ify, he's the new
champion of Pokemon.
Yeah!
- Let's do this.
I'm ready to take down Milo.
(beep)
- Standing there on the
pitch in the stadium
in front of everyone, there's
really no words for it,
but I can barely contain myself!
My heart is racing!
And you've made it at last, Hop.
And you too, Ify!
- So you're the two Trainers
our Champion endorsed, himself.
What up, Rose?
- I see you both already
possess Dynamax Bands.
How wonderful!
It seems you two have been led here
by the guiding light of the Wishing Stars.
By the way, it was my wonderful company
that invented those
Dynamax Bands, you know.
All right, no need to
flex, calm down, Rose.
Now, I'm terribly sorry, but
there is some urgent business
I need to attend to,
so I must be on my way.
- So we're gonna go to Route Three.
And Hop is gone.
- So let's get something straight.
Based on everything we just saw,
we have to assume that now it's
not like in the past Pokemon
where the Gym Challenge
was an ongoing thing.
It seems like it's once a year,
certain Trainers are picked,
and you have to make it by a certain time.
Which means gramps over here
has been trying to do it
for years and he still ain't got nothing.
- Oh, a gift from the chairman himself.
The gift is access to the Flying Taxis.
Okay.
- There's lots of things
that were streamlined
in this one that you didn't have to use.
So instead of worrying
about when you get Fly
being able to fly back to places,
it's just an option from the beginning.
- Aww, my own team yell over here.
- The Gym Challenge!
Oh my God.
- I guess I'll fight you.
It should be pretty good.
- You went up one level since I saw you.
Good job, I guess.
- Double Kick is super
effective, that's great.
Let's do that.
Bap!
And another one.
Bap!
Easy money.
- Rookidee, that's Flying.
Switch Pokemon.
Take that.
Oof.
You hate to see it.
- Level 14, huh?
That's not bad.
Get him!
Hop's talking some mess just
to use Branch Poke on me.
Pop!
I want a more impressive fire attack.
When is he gonna get that?
Oh, he's giving me his
League Card just to show.
All right.
So we, like, collect each
other's League Cards?
Not like I need a photo of Hop, you know?
I see him 24/7 anyway.
All right, we're on Route Three.
- Oh, whoa.
Get back, punk.
I don't want you, no!
I didn't want the Zigzagoon,
and it just rushed me like a maniac.
I'm gonna use a Quick Ball and catch it.
The quicker you use the ball,
the easier it catches Pokemon.
So the best way to use it
is at the top of the match.
You catch it, it has full health.
Stupid Zigzagoon.
Did not want a Zigzagoon.
Your name is Gene Simmons.
I'm gonna add Gene Simmons to the party.
- Ooh, we got a battle.
Let's battle a Vulpix.
Ooh, interesting.
Level 12, so we're getting
into some actual levels, here.
- Let me see if I can Double Hit you.
Ah, used a Quick Attack.
Should have did something with fire.
Now you get hit with the stick.
Good night.
- They pay so much for winning.
I'm gonna buy some new jeans.
- Oh, you trying to fight too?
Get over here.
Let me catch you up with these leaves.
Ouch, that hurt, didn't it?
Ooh, that was pretty nice.
Oh, oh no!
You brought Gene Simmons.
Unfortunately for you,
he's gonna lick you.
That didn't do anything.
Oh, no!
First I need to just kill you real quick.
This stupid--
Gene Simmons, I just caught, is dead.
Sure, like, I was like, didn't want him,
but like, he was strong, and
now, I'm glad I didn't waste--
This is stupid, man.
I can't believe I didn't
want him at first.
He was growing on me.
Just as I was getting
ready to love him, he died.
I guess this is it.
Oh, whoa.
Get back, punk.
I don't want you, no!
I didn't want the Zigzagoon,
and he just rushed me like a maniac.
Stupid Zigzagoon.
Did not want a Zigzagoon.
Bye bye, Gene Simmons.
- Whoa, what do we got?
Another Zigzagoon.
I should check this boy out, though.
Ah!
Okay.
Oh, okay.
A Machop.
This Tackle isn't that strong.
It should be okay.
Yes, okay, great.
Use these Poke Balls.
All right, come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Hey!
We're gonna call him a name
that I think Ify would appreciate.
Buff Boy.
Let's keep moving.
- Oh, look.
Sonia.
- Where's Hop?
Where do you think he is, Sonia?
He went on ahead.
Just past Route Three, there's
a mine where they dig up ore.
The chairman really has
his hands in everything.
- Yeah, it seems like he's brilliant
and it seems like he's suspicious, too.
So this is Route Three.
I can't catch anything, okay.
This is, but the cave,
that's a different area.
Route Four, a different area.
- Oh, I'm just kidding.
Let's do it.
- A mailman, huh?
Time to deliver some pain.
- Delibird.
Ice?
I feel like Ember should
be pretty good then, right?
Oh, yep.
Great.
- Yeah, go to sleep.
- Spectacles is evolving!
Whoa.
Dang.
Noctowl.
Okay, we're going in.
Whoa.
Oh.
Okay, let's catch.
- Oh, do I want the fly
boy or the thick daddy?
Let's go thick daddy.
- Let's just do it.
I've been gaming it up a bit,
but this is the first one I saw.
Level 11, so let's just Quick
Attack and see what happens.
Nice.
- I can't kill you, so let
me just do a Double Hit
so you can be alive.
Yeah, see?
It doesn't do much.
- Let me do Quick Attack
again, it shouldn't kill it.
No!
Now I can't catch any in this whole area.
I thought it would leave
him with a little bit.
I was getting too cocky.
- I'm gonna try and use the Heal Ball now.
Get in that ball and don't say nothing.
No!
I'm gonna bring out Eggerton.
He put him to sleep, yeah.
And now, he's like "Oh, I'm a sleepy baby.
"I'm too sleepy.
"Now I can't get out your ball."
No you can't, go to sleep.
One,
two,
three,
your soul is mine.
Give me that.
So it's called Teamster,
but it's short for Teamster Local 420.
Strawbeary is really
starting to step it up.
Alfred, on the other hand,
you gotta go in the box.
Oh, I love this.
Watch, you're gonna see
why I love this area.
Hey, I'm a construction worker, yeah.
Oh yeah, I'm coming out.
Yeah, here we go!
And its a Roggenrola.
Rock types are weak against Grass,
so I get to one-shot everything,
but they're close in level,
so I get all that XP.
- What's up?
What you got, Georgia?
Timburr.
We're really close levels,
so I'm gonna train him up.
Yeah, critical hit.
Low Kick.
Ow.
Oh my gosh!
We are not gonna risk it.
Let's Dragon Claw.
No one likes Dragon moves, right?
Whack.
There we go.
All right, we gotta
heal our little Corn Nut
because that was a close call.
- This is how dudes
show up to Tinder dates.
I mean, you must be really tall.
No, I'm like 5' 8".
Nah, nah, you must be like 6' 8".
- Okay, so guys, we're back.
We had a little bit of
technical difficulty.
I did catch a new Pokemon.
I caught Burt.
Burt is a Drilbur.
- Oh, and I've got a
battle coming up, clearly.
- I'm ready to cook this fool, dude.
Oh my gosh, I cannot wait.
- Any Trainer with a Wishing Star
is in for a beating
from me and my Pokemon.
Okay, whatever.
You know what?
When you tell me that your time
is too important for me, I cannot.
- I suppose I should prove beyond doubt
just how pathetic you
are and how strong I am.
I cannot wait to smoosh
your face into dust.
- Solosis.
This music is something.
- What kind of Pokemon is that?
- All right, we're just
gonna go with Mochi
'cause he's my strongest.
Show him a lesson.
That's right, one-hit KO.
- Gothita.
Talk to my Shadow Ball.
No, did I one-shot it again?
- Oh dear, what have I been doing?
You're losing to me,
that's what you're doing.
- Second Pokemon, they're
usually my favorite.
Not so much when it's not on my side.
- Flame Charge.
Let's do it.
Whack.
Goodbye.
Come on, Bede, what you got?
Our rival's been taken down.
Our real rival.
- (gasps) Sir Bo is evolving!
Hello Sir!
Corvisquire.
Okay, he looks super cool.
- Now, we'll move on to Route Four
where I can catch a new Pokemon.
- Oh, the Gym is so close.
Okay, we just have to
beat everyone in this area
and then we can go up to the Gym.
- Meowth.
Ugh.
This Meowth is terrible.
Let's light it on fire.
Yeah!
- Let's do a flying move.
Goodbye, little buggy.
Boom!
I love my team so much.
- Oh!
Hold up.
My little Bean has turned into a man.
Is that a Pikachu?
All right, I'll take a Pikachu.
- I'm gonna--
Oh no!
Oh, wait, I got hit with a random one.
- Is that an Eevee?
(gasps)
I got an Eevee!
Fighting is strong against Normal,
so I am going to go for a weaker Pokemon.
- Level 15, now.
Oh wait, let's just try a Quick Ball.
Oh?
Well, that's great.
- Get in my ball.
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
I meant to pick Quick Ball.
Your soul is mine, so it's fine.
- We just need to get him down
to yellow bar, and then we're good.
Come on.
Great.
Come on.
No!
Should I use a Great Ball?
No.
I'm gonna use Poke Balls.
Poke Balls are the best balls.
Poke Balls.
Let's try this.
We're on a red bar, it should be fine.
What do you want?
No, don't attack him!
Come on, please.
Finally, it took so long.
- I've seen this one.
This is the one that you
have to give the Tasty Treat
and, like, dance and then it evolves.
Let's call it Cupcake.
- I want to call him Miko
because it's a cute name.
- Some local humor for you all.
LADWP.
Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
- The only person I haven't used is Mia.
So I'm gonna send Mia away.
- Oh, shoot.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
Okay, let's see if I can get away.
One, two, three.
Oh!
- No, get away.
Wow, look at them, they're
really going for me.
- There's more there.
No, stop.
Stop following me.
Stop following me.
Stop following me.
Stop following me.
No, what am I doing?
I just whistled.
I always do this.
- I think we've trained up.
I think we're ready for the Gym.
- Wooloo.
Wooloo?
Hop?
- No, what's going on here?
Oh, it's the Gym Leader.
I am not ready.
- Hm, oh, you must be one of
the Gym Challengers, right?
Yes, indeed.
I thought so.
I saw you at the opening ceremony.
- All right, Milo, come on.
Let's stop talking and
let's start fighting.
- Just head on through this route,
and you'll run right into my stadium.
See you there!
Come on now, back to the
stadium with you, too.
We can't keep the Gym Challengers waiting.
All right, he seems a super nice guy.
Thanks for telling me Grass type.
- God, here comes Hop again.
Take a look at this, I already got one.
Get out of here, dude.
- All right, my goal is
to defeat the Gym missions
and the Gym Leader.
Yeah, let's do it.
All right, one way to go.
- This looks incredible.
They really, like, stepped
up their game, I feel like,
from the old Pokemon Gyms I know.
- The mission given by
Turffield's Pokemon Gym is this.
To chase our unruly Wooloo.
Okay, do I have to?
Come on, Wooloo.
- Oh my God.
There we go, okay.
I guess this is what Milo
normally does day-to-day.
- Now we have a Yamper.
A wild Yamper.
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry.
I got 'em, I got 'em.
Aww, I gotta fight you first, huh?
- There's a couple of
trainers, just a couple.
We're just gonna Flame
Wheel our way out of here.
Goodbye.
- I have mixed feelings.
This is by far gonna be
the easiest gym for me,
but then it's just gonna
get harder after this,
so I have to really,
like, prepare in advance
for these next Gyms.
- Get in there, get in there.
Do what daddy tells you.
(whistles)
Who are you whistling to?
Oh, this is--
That was cheap!
It was right there and it rolled
just so I could go to the stupid trainer.
Doesn't matter.
I see you riding round
town with the Gym Badge,
and I'm like pluck you. (hums)
Got an Oddish and I want
to kill it real fast,
so I'm gonna pluck you,
and pluck Oddish too.
- These Wooloos are so funny.
20 out of 20, let's go.
- They're all splitting up.
- The thing is, if they're near a Yamper,
they get scared and go other ways.
There's Yampers on two sides.
Oh, this went better
than I thought it would.
- Up, up, up, up, up.
No!
No, you guys, this is not
supposed to be that hard.
- This little Yamper is in my way.
That's fine.
You know what?
We'll come back for them.
No, no, no, stay!
Stay!
(sighs)
We did it.
Now watch me just one-hit this Gym Leader.
- All right, final stretch.
This is so TV show-esque, I love it.
- Look at how packed this is.
- My gym's the first one people face,
so we get a lot of challengers.
That's why I try to keep
the Gym mission challenging.
- But that didn't stop
you from completing it.
You almost stopped me.
Come on, Wooloo.
No, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry.
I got 'em, I got 'em.
They're all, oh, they're all splitting up.
We'll come back for them.
No, no, no, stay, stay!
Ooh, I'll have to Dynamax
my Pokemon if I want to win.
- This music, though.
- Gossifleur.
I wonder what I'll do.
I'm not even gonna Dynamax yet.
I'm just gonna Flame Charge.
Let's see how that does.
Great.
Excellent.
- Eldegloss.
Will you switch your Pokemon?
This is all yours, Miso.
Woohoo!
We're not going to be done in that easy!
We're tough as weeds.
- I think we both know what
time it is, right Milo?
Dynamax Max Airstream!
Oh yeah, you know I had to do it to him.
- Look at how big this dude is!
Yeah, Billy.
Got that one little sharp tooth.
- Let's go, Milo.
Come on, then!
It's Dynamax time!
You're about to be uprooted!
Oh my goodness.
That is a scary looking Dynamax Pokemon.
That sound is terrifying.
- Max Flare.
Yeah.
- Nope.
I don't want it.
I don't want it.
I don't want it, no!
Oh, but it heals me?
What?
- It would be a shame
if I was to blast you
with some more air, right?
Good night, sweet prince.
We did it.
- Oh,
we did it!
- Wow, Billy was like, (exclaims).
- Just like that, we
now have a Grass badge.
Didn't I say I was just gonna pull up?
See how quick that was?
Just went straight for it and got it.
- As proof that you have
defeated a Gym Leader
for the Gym Challenge,
allow me to present you
with your very own Grass Badge!
- My first badge!
We did it!
Without a Pokemon gone.
- Gym Challenge has a set
order you'll need to follow.
That means your next stop should be
in Hulbury to meet Nessa.
- I'm gonna take Route Five.
She's a Water Gym type, so
we're going to destroy her.
Of course, we have to start this
with a moment of silence for Gene Simmons.
That was unexpected.
Honestly unacceptable and I'm
still kind of mad about that.
Very proud of the Pokemon
who stood through,
I'm seeing lots of
improvement across the roster.
- We have completed our
first Gym Challenge.
That was super exciting.
I'm excited to see everybody
flourish and blossom.
