This is a transcript of the Pokémon the Series: XYZ episode: "Down to the Fiery Finish!".

Narrator
After battling his way to the Kalos League finals, Ash is now in the midst of a heated battle against Alain, his talented and formidable opponent.
[A crash is heard. A wounded Pikachu loads up Thunderbolt.]
Ash's Pikachu
Pika...chuuu!
[Thunderbolt hits Charizard. It clears. Charizard pants.]
Announcer
It's super-effective, but Charizard is still standing!
Ash Ketchum
All right. Pikachu, use Quick Attack!
[Pikachu lands awkwardly, and tries to get back up.]
Ash Ketchum
Oh!
Alain
Use Flamethrower!
Charizard
(Roars)
[Charizard hits Pikachu directly, causing him to scream and get blasted back, scraping across the ground.]
Ash Ketchum
Pikachu!
[Cut to Pikachu, downed.]
Announcer
Uh-oh.- Pikachu isn't moving.
[Ash's companions and rivals gasp.]
Bonnie
I hope Pikachu's all right.
Dedenne
Denene?
Clemont
Its last battle wore Pikachu out.
Alain
Charizard, fly up!
[Charizard growls, breathing fire, and then flies up. On Ash's side, Pikachu struggles to get back up.]
Ash Ketchum
Get up! Pikachu!
[Pikachu slowly gets up on two feet.]
Alain
Use Flamethrower!
[Pikachu gets up, facing his opponent.]
Ash's Pikachu
Pika!
[Charizard unloads Flamethrower.]
Ash Ketchum
Now, use Iron Tail, and aim it toward the ground!
[Pikachu jumps up, lights up its tail and hits the ground with it, picking up a dust cloud and thus intercepting Flamethrower.]
Alain
That was impressive. Use Dragon Claw!
Ash Ketchum
Use Iron Tail!
[Dragon Claw and Iron Tail collide. Pikachu gets blasted and tossed to the ground, fainting.]
Ash's Pikachu
(Weakly) Pi...ka.
Referee
Pikachu is unable to battle. Charizard's the winner!
Announcer
That's it. Pikachu is defeated. Now both trainers have two Pokémon left.
[Ash consoles Pikachu and picks him up.]
Ash Ketchum
Are you okay, Pikachu?
Ash's Pikachu
(Weakly) Pika.
Ash Ketchum
(Softly) Thanks so much. You were just awesome. Now, leave the rest to us. Hmm.
Ash's Pikachu
Pi...
[Charizard lands and roars.]
Ash Ketchum
Oh, we're just getting warmed up!
[The opening theme and title card plays.]
Malva
Hi. Here is an update from the Kalos League finals. Alain's Charizard has beaten Ash's Pikachu.
Jessie
Come on! What is Pikachu doing?
Meowth
Stomping all over our feelings, that's what.
James
Since when are you two cheering for the twerp?
Meowth
Since we decided we don't like this!
Jessie
(Angrily) The twerp's our rival, not his! If he loses to anybody, it'll be us, not him.
Meowth
(Nods) Mm-hm.
James
(Pauses, then laughs)
Jessie
From now on, we're the twerp's cheerleaders.
Team Rocket
(Cheering)
Bonnie
I can't believe it. Pikachu worked so hard, but it lost.
Dedenne
(Miserable) Denne-ne.
Trevor
Alain's last Pokémon are Charizard and Bisharp.
Sawyer
But remember, Alain's last two Pokémon have been battling really hard.
Clemont
On the other hand, Ash's last two Pokémon haven't even been in a battle yet. You could say Ash has the advantage.
Serena
Yeah, he'll be fine. When I see Ash grinning like that, I just know it!
[Mairin watches on from a separate room.]
Mairin
Come on. You can do it, Alain.
Ash Ketchum
Goodra, I choose you!
Goodra
Goodra!
Alain
Charizard, return.
Announcer
And Charizard's out of the action!
[Alain's switches Pokéballs.]
Alain
Bisharp, let's go!
Bisharp
Bisharp!
Announcer
Here they are. Ash is using Goodra and Alain is using Bisharp.
Ash Ketchum
First, we'll fix up the battlefield. use Rain Dance!
Goodra
Gooooo!
[Rain clouds form above the stadium.]
Announcer
And now Goodra's making it rain!
Ash Ketchum
All right, use Ice Beam!
[Goodra unleashes Ice Beam.]
Alain
Dodge it, and then use Iron Head!
[Bisharp flips to dodge the attack. It then charges forward head first towards Goodra.]
Ash Ketchum
Block it!
[Goodra pushes its ears forward to block Bisharp's Iron Head as they get close.]
Ash Ketchum
OK, throw it, Goodra!
[Goodra sets Bisharp up with its ears, then flings the Pokémon up in the air.]
Ash Ketchum
Use Dragon Pulse!
[Goodra fires Dragon Pulse.]
Alain
Focus Blast!
[While Bisharp is airborne, it fires Focus Blast. The two moves collide in an explosion. Bisharp kneels as he lands.]
Alain
Iron Head, let's go!
[Bisharp charges forward again.]
Ash Ketchum
Use Bide!
[Bisharp hits Goodra with the move.]
Ash Ketchum
Goodra, are you all right?
Goodra
Goo.
Bisharp
Sha.
Alain
Focus Blast!
[Focus Blast hits Goodra.]
Announcer
Goodra's hanging in! Will Ash's strategy turn out to be the best one going between our two competitors?
Alain
Go around it, then Iron Head!
[Bisharp runs around Goodra in a circle then hits the Pokémon from behind with Iron Head.]
Ash Ketchum
Use Bide!
[Bide hits Bisharp before it can react, causing an explosion and blasting it back, forcing it on its knees.]
Alain
Bisharp, are you okay?
Announcer
Ash unleashes a counter-attack- and Goodra overcomes Bisharp!
Goodra
-Goodra!
[The Pokémon watching inside the cabin cheer. Meanwhile, Clembot and Meyer are working on the electrics.]
Announcer
Well done, Goodra, for enduring those unbelievable attacks.
Meyer
This sure is an exciting battle. I wish I could somehow made it to the stadium. You, Clembot.
Clembot
I'm right with you on that.
Alain
Iron Head, go!
[Bisharp runs up to Goodra and hits it on the chin with Iron Head. Ash's friends in the crowd gasp in shock. Goodra is struggling to stand.]
Ash Ketchum
Oh, no, Goodra!
[That was a potent strike. Could be trouble for Goodra.]
Alain
Now use Guillotine!
[Bisharp extends and glows its blades.]
Ash Ketchum
Come on, Goodra, Dragon Pulse, let's go!
[Goodra, struggling, unleashes Dragon Pulse which a charging Bisharp wipes out easily with its blades. Bisharp hits Goodra with Guillotine, knocking it down and fainting it.]
Ash Ketchum
Oh, oh!
Ash's Pikachu
Pika!
Referee
Goodra is unable to battle. Bisharp's the winner!
[Audience cheering as Goodra's icon turns gray.]
Announcer
Bisharp has defeated Goodra!
[Cut to Ash's friends, looking miserable.]
Bonnie
I feel so bad for Goodra.
Sawyer
One Pokémon left.
Shauna
Which means Ash is down to his last chance.
[Tierno crosses arms.]
Serena
Good luck, Ash.
[Ash returns Goodra.]
Ash Ketchum
Thanks, Goodra. You were great. (Switches Pokéballs) Let's win this together. Go, Greninja!
Greninja
Gren.
Malva
So, Ash has finally brought out his Greninja. Greninja will be Ash's final Pokémon of the Kalos League. If they lose...
Jessie
Who does she think she is, talking like Greninja's going to lose? (Blows Raspberry)
Meowth
Come on, chill! The more the twerp's under pressure, the more the twerp will beat the pants off of Alain.
James
(Gasp) Correct! After all...
Team Rocket
We're the ones who whipped him into shape!
Alain
Now, Bisharp, give it everything you've got!
Bisharp
(Roars)
Ash Ketchum
Let's do it, Greninja!
Greninja
Ninja!
Alain
Use Iron Head!
Bisharp
Sha! Bi-bi-bi-sharp!
[Bisharp charges towards the opponent.]
Ash Ketchum
Now, Double Team!
[Greninja makes several copies of itself. Bisharp takes out the clones one by one.]
Ash Ketchum
Water Shuriken!
[All the clones jump up in the air. Bisharp skids and leaps up toward Greninja.]
Greninja
Gre...nin...ja!
[Greninja hits Bisharp with Water Shuriken, causing an explosion and blasting it back.]
Alain
Bisharp!
[Bisharp faints.]
Referee
Bisharp is unable to battle, Greninja's the winner!
Ash Ketchum
Alright!
Greninja
Ja.
Serena
(In unison, happy) They won!
Bonnie
(In unison, happy) Yay!
Dedenne
(In unison, happy) Dedene!
[Sawyer looks up at the rain.]
Sawyer
That's it. The rain!
[Everyone looks at Sawyer, curious.]
Serena
Huh? What are you talking about?
Sawyer
I mean, rainy weather powers up Water-type moves.
Clemont
Wow. Goodra's lingering Rain Dance is helping Greninja. Good call.
[Sawyer nods. Serena giggles.]
Serena
It's a relay with Goodra. It's a true group victory.
Alain
Charizard, let's go!
[Charizard, wearing a shield around his neck, flies about the stadium. The crowd cheer.]
Announcer
Here comes Charizard! Both Trainers are using their last Pokémon. This will be the deciding battle.
Charizard
(Roars)
Alain
Charizard, it's the battle we've been waiting for. Let's enjoy it all the way.
Charizard
(Roars, breathing fire)
Ash Ketchum
Know what, Greninja? We couldn't ask for a better opponent. Let's give them one hundred percent!
Greninja
Ninja!
Ash Ketchum
OK, Greninja, run!
[Greninja starts running.]
Alain
Go, Charizard!
[Charizard flies forward, close to the ground. A double screen of the two Pokémon appear.]
Alain
Use Flamethrower!
[Charizard jumps and unleashes Flamethrower.]
Ash Ketchum
Dodge it, quick!
[Greninja jumps and twists to dodge the attack, getting closer to the target.]
Ash Ketchum
Now, Greninja, use Cut!
[In slow motion, Greninja hits the Pokémon's body with Cut. Charizard blasts back, putting his arm on the ground to stay upright.]
Announcer
Greninja nails that Cut!- Charizard's definitely feeling it.
[-The rain clouds clear. sunlight appears again.]
Announcer
The rain's stopped. How will it affect this battle?
Sawyer
(Miserably) That's all for Goodra's Rain Dance assistance.
Clemont
Still, remember, Greninja has the type advantage.
Serena
It'll be fine. Ash will definitely win!
Ash Ketchum
Let's show 'em how, Greninja!
Greninja
Greninja!
Ash Ketchum
(To himself) Alain, I... We're not going to lose! We're putting everything we have into this. Count on it!
[Ash-Greninja vision activates.]
Ash Ketchum
Greninja!
Greninja
Greninjaaaa!
[Greninja completes the transformation into Ash-Greninja. Ash's friends gasp in delight.]
Bonnie
There it is. It's Ash-Greninja!
Dedenne
Denne-ne, Denne!
[Cut to a delighted Sycamore and Diantha.]
Professor Sycamore
This is marvelous!
Diantha
Mm.
[Cut to Mairin and Lysandre, and then to Team Rocket, who cheer.]
Alain
(To himself) Thanks, Ash. I was waiting for you to give me a full-power battle. Now, lift me to an even higher level of battling. Okay, then. This is it!
[Alain activates his Mega-Ring.]
Alain
All, right, respond to my heart, Key Stone. Beyond Evolution! Mega Evolve!
[Charizard's Mega-button activates. It transforms into Mega Charizard X.]
Mairin
Oh, please, Charizard, help Alain win this!
Announcer
Fantastic! Alain's Charizard has Mega Evolved, and this battle will decide who will be the Kalos League winner!
[The segment "Who's that Pokémon?" plays.]
Ash Ketchum
Run, Greninja! Go!
[Greninja runs towards the target.]
Ash Ketchum
Use Double Team!
[Greninja makes several copies of itself.]
Alain
Flamethrower! Get rid of the fakes!
[Charizard unleashes a blue Flamethrower, rotating to take out all the clones.]
Ash Ketchum
Now, use Water Shuriken!
[Greninja jumps up and throws the Shuriken.]
Alain
All right, Dragon Claw!
[Charizard's claws glow green. He blocks Water Shuriken with the move.]
Ash Ketchum
Aerial Ace!
[Greninja jumps up.]
Alain
Dragon Claw!
[Both Pokémon use their move in mid-air, then do so on the ground. After a tussle, Charizard hits and blasts Greninja with Dragon Claw.]
Ash Ketchum
Augh!
Ash's Pikachu
Pika! Pi?
Alain
Flamethrower, go!
[Charizard unloads Flamethrower at Greninja, struggling to stand.]
Ash Ketchum
Cut, let's go!
Greninja
Gren...ninjaaa!
[Greninja protects itself with Cut's blades, blocking Flamethrower.]
Alain
Now, Blast Burn!
[Charizard dives to the ground. The ground heats up with fire.]
Ash Ketchum
All right, Water Shuriken at the ground!
[Greninja sets up its Shuriken and slams it into the ground, sending a wave of water through the ground. The two moves collide, causing a massive explosion of steam.]
Greninja
Gren...ninjaaa!
Announcer
They stopped that Blast Burn with a Water Shuriken! I've never seen a battle like this before!
Ash Ketchum
Aerial Ace!
[Greninja drifts both ways and hits Charizard with Aerial Ace. Greninja then jumps up and somersaults, hitting it on the head with the move, forcing the Pokémon into the ground. Cut to Ash's friends, delighted.]
Clemont
(Gasps)
Bonnie
Go, go, go, Ash! Go, go, Greninja!
Dedenne
De-de-ne!
Alain
Are you okay, Charizard?
Mairin
(To herself) Alain sure is enjoying his battle with Ash.
[Sycamore nods.]
Alain
Thanks, Ash. It's because of you that I'm finally having fun. Lots of it. I'm having more fun battling against you than I've had in such a long time. I'm grateful to you for letting me feel this. However, I have to be the strongest one. (Angrily) I can't lose to anyone again! Charizard, use Dragon Claw!
[Charizard glows its claws and hits the target, blowing it back. Ash also exclaims, feeling his arms. Pikachu looks at Ash in shock.]
Ash's Pikachu
Pika-pi!
Tierno
Wow. Powerful.
Trevor
They're still hanging in there.
[Ash straightens his cap.]
Ash Ketchum
(To himself) I'm having an awesome time being able to battle such a strong trainer like you, Alain. But this is going to be over soon. (To Alain) Whoever wins, no hard feelings, okay? So look out for a full-powered attack! Greninja, use Cut!
[Greninja runs towards Charizard preparing its blades.]
Alain
Charizard, Dragon Claw!
[Charizard glows its claws and flies along the ground. Both Pokémon collide in mid-air blocking each other with their moves. After a back and forth tussle, Charizard seizes an opportunity to attack Greninja from behind, but the frog leaps to dodge, Charizard hitting the ground and creating a dust cloud. A double screen appears of the two trainers calling out their moves.]
Alain
(In unison) Use Thunder Punch!
Ash Ketchum
(In unison) Water Shuriken!
[Charizard loads an electric fist and starts attacking, while Greninja sets up Water Shuriken and blocks every punch with the move.]
Announcer
Greninja's blocking Thunder Punch with Water Shuriken! Such intense combat!
[Greninja eventually removes Thunder Punch with the shuriken, and then scores a hit on Charizard with it, blowing it back.]
Ash Ketchum
Ready for more? Water Shuriken!
[Greninja spins the shuriken up in the air, creating a whirlpool. An orange halo is formed, creating a super-powered shuriken.]
Alain
(Gasps) Now, Blast Burn!
[Charizard pounds the ground, while Greninja throws the super-powered shuriken. The two moves collide and create another massive explosion. Ash's friends are shocked as the stadium is filled with steam and smoke. The crowd sit and watch in anticipation. As the steam and smoke clears, Greninja faints, reverting to its standard form. At the same time, Ash falls over and hurts himself.]
Ash's Pikachu
Pika?
Referee
Greninja's unable to battle. Charizard wins! Alain is the champion!
Charizard
(Roars)
[The crowd cheers.]
Announcer
It's oveeer! After multiple fierce battle during the Kalos League's final round, Alain clinches it, big time!
[Charizard reverts to its standard form. Alain hugs Charizard, while it purrs.]
Ash Ketchum
They're strong. Wow!
Ash's Pikachu
(Dreamy) Pika.
[Cut to Ash's friends, looking miserable.]
Bonnie
Poor Ash lost.
Dedenne
Denne.
Tierno
What a crying shame.
Shauna
And the battle was so close, too.
Sawyer
It was a great one, though.
Clemont
Right! It was a very Ash-like battle, too.
Serena
Ash has a smile on his face. Of course he's proud. He gave that battle everything he possibly could.
[Ash helps Greninja up.]
Ash Ketchum
Great job, Greninja. Thanks.
Greninja
Ninja...
Ash Ketchum
Don't be sorry. I'm grateful to have a team as strong as you guys.
Ash's Pikachu
Pika!
[Alain walks over to Ash.]
Alain
Ash, thank you very much.
Ash Ketchum
Thanks to you, too. Our battle was just about as fun as it could get.
Alain
(Nods) Hm.
[Alain and Ash handshake. The audience continue cheering.]
Malva
This battle really has no winner or loser. What is has are the joyous faces of two Trainers, smiling after a hard-fought match.
[Team Rocket sob.]
James
I am completely beside myself with awe!
Meowth
That battle was the genuine article.
Jessie
Who cares about beating twerps? All I care about in now...
[Team Rocket wail, bursting into tears. Malva smiles.]
Mairin
Alain, you were awesome. You should be proud.
[Diantha and Sycamore clap and laugh.]
Professor Sycamore
Alain, I hope you were able to find what you've been looking for.
[Ash - sat on a bench - and his friends are gathered in a room.]
Tierno
Ash, that was a truly spectacular battle. I couldn't believe it.
Ash Ketchum
Thanks, Tierno. I'm sorry if I let you all down.
Sawyer
Stop. We all know you did the best you could possibly do. And, you know, that's what it's all about.
Clemont
Ash, Alain was really strong, and Charizard just kept hanging in there.
Ash Ketchum
Yeah. I want to keep meeting more and more Trainers and Pokémon, and become a lot stronger. And that's just what I'm going to do.- Right, buddy?
[-He strokes Pikachu's head.]
Ash's Pikachu
(Happy) Pika!
[In another room, Alain is looking at his Pokéball sat on the bench.]
Alain
Both of us grew from that battle. (Sees a reflection of Ash on the ball) And Ash made it all possible. Let's go and gather a little bit more Mega Evolution energy. Almost there.
[Meanwhile, inside the room with the control system, a Zygarde Cell with a blue core is trapped inside a cylindrical room, hopping about helplessly.]
Z-2
(Whimpers)
Xerosic
All preparations are complete. It's time to begin.
[The Female Admin brings a screen down to her level. The laser cannon lowers down and loads up the beam, gathering red particles. The laser beam fires at the cylinder. Z-2 whimpers. Back to the stadium, where Diantha presents Alain the trophy. Alain takes it.]
Diantha
Alain, you've created a strong bond between you and your Pokémon. As a trainer, you've displayed unparalleled strength through a number of challenging battles. I applaud you.
Alain
Thanks so much, Diantha.
[The audience clap and cheer.]
Ash Ketchum
Alain! Congratulations.
Alain
Hm.
Mairin
(Tearful) I'm so happy! Of course, these tears are happy tears. Hey, Lysandre, don't you...? (Realizes he's gone missing) Where did Lysandre go?
[Cut to the control system room. The laser continues firing.]
Z-2
This is why humans are so, so- evil!
[Z-2's eye glows red. Squishy trills.]
Bonnie
Huh?
[Cut to the control system room.]
Xerosic
Lysandre, our research is finally about to produce results!
[Lysandre enters behind Xerosic.]
Lysandre
(To Z-2) Zygarde, the time has come. Show me your power. Do it now!
Z-2
Humans are foolish. they must disappear. All the human fools on this planet must disappeeear!
[Part of the Prism Tower explodes. A little shining red star floats to the top of the tower. Lysandre and Xerosic are walking along the platform at the top of the tower.]
Lysandre
The curtain's up, and the spotlight's on my greatest work of all!
[Z-2, having glowed red, delivers a green shockwave, powering up. It screams. Around Kalos, all the Zygarde Cells travel towards Z-2 in green streaks. Z-2 begins transforming. A red pulse shoots all they way down Prism Tower. A huge black and red vine breaks through the side of the tower. Another vine eradicates the front door. Outside the stadium, people shudder and scream in shock.]
Woman 1
What's that?!
[Another set of vines breaks through the ground.]
Woman 2
Oh!
Woman 3
Oh, no!
[People start running away in panic.]
Woman 4
Argh! Quick, run!
[More vines grow across the alley and over buildings.]
Meyer
Huh. What's going on?
[Cut to Lysandre, who smiles.]
Lysandre
Anything and everything on this planet is about to be reborn. Reborn as a beautiful world!
[More vines break inside the stadium, causing Ash, Alain, Pikachu and everyone else to notice.]
Ash and Alain
(Gasp)
Ash's Pikachu
Pika?
[More vines appear over the top of the stadium. People gasp and scream in shock.]
Professor Sycamore
(Shocked) What is that thing?!
Diantha
What in the world's going on?!
[Another vine almost hits Mairin, causing her to yelp and brace herself. Another vine is about to approach Team Rocket, forcing them to hold on tightly to each other and scream. Cut To Serena, Bonnie, Clemont and Sawyer, all with jaws dropped.]
Serena
What?!
[Z-1 jumps off of Bonnie's hands and crawls away.]
Bonnie
Huh?
Serena
Huh?
Bonnie
Squishy, stop!
[Bonnie goes after the red cored cell.]
Clemont
Bonnie!- Come back!
[Clemont goes after Bonnie. Serena goes after Clemont. Smoke plumes from the stadium.]
Narrator
The Kalos League has been disrupted by an unexpected incident of major proportions. What is Zygarde's power, and what is Lysandre trying to achieve?
[Zygarde's transformation is completed into the 50% Forme but in red instead of green. It roars from one corner of the Prism Tower. The caption "TO BE CONTINUED..." appears at the bottom of the screen. The credits appear.]
Narrator
As the journey continues.
