Pokemon Special 191

Is Pokemon Special shounen . . . or it's not shounen? . . . up till now I still can't differentiate things, sorry. :(

But . . . *angry at myself for losing my Volume 15 copy* . . .

OK . . . any scanlator may used it, just follow the rule (link in my sig). Next time, I think I better just go with the Japanese name, having the Japanese name and trying to convert it to English with my fading memory about Pokemon is REALLY hard. - -"

Oh! And, this is Thai -> English translation. Just a note to you. Thai volume of Pokemon Special already got up to Volume 22, so since I did see that the English is not going really far, I'm going to give it a try. I also want to practice Thai -> English translation, since I actually feel uncomfortable translating between Thai and English, so I'm using this manga and EXEcutional for practice on Thai -> English then. :p

ENJOY ANYWAY~! XD

Oh, and one more thing. I'm not going to translate into the gap unless someone request that they really, REALLY want it. Reason being, I can't find my Volume 1-15 copies, it will take a very long time to fill in nearly 100 chapters gap (since I read somewhere that English only got to 90 something - -"), and renting or buying them are kind of hard (not because it's hard to find or expensive. Thai volume is only about US$1 per volume, but I am too lazy to go look for it :darn ).

Pokemon Special
Chapter 191 “VS Nosepass II”
Pg. 1
Sapphire – Why!?
Why can’t I call Dorara back into the ball!!

Roxanne – I won’t let you call your Aron back!
And I won’t let it escape anywhere either!

My Nosepass’s ability is “Magnetic Force”!!
It can release the magnetic force which can bind the steel-bodied enemy!!

Sapphire – Dorara!!

Pg. 2
Roxanne – “ROCK THROW!!”

Sapphire – UWAA!!

Roxanne – If you’re not careful, you too will get smashed

Pg. 3
That’s right! I’m Rock-type specialist!!
Roxanne, the Gym Leader of Rustboro
Who knows well about rocks!!

Actually, you should be the one who have an advantage
Because if you use steel to attack rock, you would be the one who wins

But, if I can stop your movement using magnetic force!
The steel body will be the one who gets defeated!!

This is how it’s like when you challenge the Gym Leader!
I’d been study so much that my brain is full of knowledge on how to stop the enemy!

Sapphire - *hah* . . . *hah* . . . Dorara
Gym Leaders really do live up to their names!

But I won’t give up!!

Pg. 4
There must be some way that can lead us pass this battle!
We must endure . . . until we finally find it . . .

Roxanne – Sorry, but there is no such thing!
There’s no way you can win the strategies that I had made using all the knowledge I have

Never!!

Sapphire – Never . . . huh . . .
But I . . . already found one . . .

Pg. 5
That magnetic force is stronger when it’s near to Nosepass, but if we move outwards, it will be weaker and weaker!

If I move back up to here
Dorara probably will no longer be bind!

Roxanne – So?
It can’t be help, isn’t it?
You think I didn’t know about that?

Steel-type attack, such as “Metal Claw” or “Iron Tail” will not work unless it’s up-close
And if you move even further back, there’s no way of reaching!

Sapphire – When we’re close in, we will get bind by the magnetic force
But when we move out, we cannot attack!

Roxanne – Your pokemon is no longer of any use!
But not mine! Distance is not an obstacle for me!!

“Rock Throw”
Changed to “Rock Slide”!!

Pg. 6
Sapphire – Ouch

Roxanne – The victory . . . had been decided

According to our Gym’s rules, even if only one Pokemon faint, it means that that trainer lost!

Well then
You can go back home now!

Pg. 7
Sapphire – What a refreshing wind
Must be the wind from the mountain

If the mountain is here . . . it means
That this side is “The North” then . . .

Roxanne – Wha . . . What are you talking about?

Sapphire – Then why can you be talking right now? Come back into battle quick

We still can’t decide on . . .

Pg. 8
Our victory!!

Roxanne – It digs to the back . . . !
No, Nosepass!! Don’t turn around . . . !!

Sapphire – Dorara, NOW!!

Pg. 9
Roxanne – Nosepass!!

Sapphire – As I thought. As soon as you said “magnetic force”, I realized it right away . . . that Nosepass too has this weakness
“The nose is the magnet. Therefore it will only point to the North”

If it turns around to other directions, the force will pull it back to the North anyway
If I can attack while it lost balance from the turning then . . . !

Roxanne – Since when did you realized that?

Pg. 10
Sapphire – From the very beginning!
That you don’t want me to stay in this direction and tell me to “go to the challenger’s station”
I felt that there must be some reasons to it

Roxanne – Just because I said that . . . !?
Sapphire – Well, I guessed

Sapphire – Haa! Whenever I feel this wind, it makes me feel so refreshed!
Tomorrow’s weather will be good for sure!

Ah!

Well, Miss Gym Leader, you shouldn’t just study and study like a bookworm
Do try to go out to feel the warm sunlight and the refreshing air sometimes

Pg. 11
Nature taught us more than what we can find in the books
Right?!

Roxanne – Hehehe
Guess so

Ah! I nearly forgot
I have to give this to you

Here!!

The challenger of Rustboro Gym against the Gym Leader, Roxanne
Miss Sapphire!!
As the proof of your victory, I shall give you this Stone Badge!!

Pg. 12
Sapphire – Wow

So now, I can move on to Dewford Town!
After that, I can finally give that letter to Mr. Steven

Steven - . . . Is that so? Submarine “Kaien No.1” is nearly complete?
Understood, Captain Kusunoki

Once I finish exploring this stone cave, I will proceed immediately . . . !

Thank you for reading . . .
