Navirou's reunited with his former girlfriend in Geo-Fulkright,
and they decided to return to Naubaka Island together.
Strictly speaking, she's not Navirou's ex!
Look, it's a real gray area!
But for some reason, liners to the island had stopped running.
Who stepped in to help them
but Silva, a man who called himself the "Bandit Captain."
Silva set sail with Lute and friends aboard.
Suddenly the waves turned rough, and a Blighted Seregios appeared!
After their hard-won victory,
Lute and friends landed safely on Naubaka Island.
Although Ratha's still terrifically seasick.
Oh! Look at all the Felynes!
Meow-loha! Welcome to Koapni Village!
Meow-loha!
Why do you look so bummed out?
Aren't you glad you made it back?
Despite Navirou's illustrious career,
he does have one or two rough patches in his past.
Rough patches?
Like an ex-girlfriend with a heckuva history?
Yeah, right! Not with a face like that!
Navirou! Oh, how I've waited for you!
Huh?
What?!
Navirou!
That's Navirou's ex-girlfriend?!
"Monster Hunter Stories RIDE ON"
"Episode 33: The Wolf Raven Strikes Back"
Navirou!
Chief Mallerie!
"Chief"?
This is the chief of Koapni Village!
Navirou's ex-girlfriend, you mean?
No!
Nothing like that ever went on between Navirou and Granny here!
It's been so long, Navirou. And Pansy, too!
Oh, how I worried when you two went away.
We looked for you everywhere!
I'm so sorry fur putting mew through that.
N-Navirou...
Navirou's just stopping by. He'll be on his way again soon.
Don't say such sad things, I beg you!
A stem was floating upright in my tea this morning,
so I was sure something good was about to happen.
I'd never dreamed it'd be you two, come home at last.
Why, nothing could make me happier!
Granny...
And after Navirou vanished without saying a word...
One may search the world over and
never find a Felyne as special as you.
No matter what happens, I could never abandon you!
Oh, Granny!
Ahoy!
Oh! Look who showed up!
Ahoy!
That looks amazing!
But... I'm flat broke.
I got this, Lute.
It's my treat--after I rake in some dough!
Step right up!
Feast your eyes!
Today's special is top-grade Felvine!
You there, sir! Grab a stem and take a good look!
It's so glossy--almost glowing, purr!
That's how you know it's the best you can find!
Oh, how wonderful! It must be so expensive...
I'm offering a one-time-only, extra-special, bargain-basement price...
...of only 1,000 zenny each!
Oooh!
One, please, purr!
I'll take three!
Thanks much!
This extraordinary sale ends today! Act fast and save!
H-Hey!
Friends of yours?
Hmph! Navirou's only soulmate is donuts!
And his only mouthmate is Granny's Poi Palloi Pickles!
Corduroy pickles?
Poi Palloi Pickles!
My Poi Palloi Pickles even made it into the Meowchelin Guide!
Yum!
Granny's pickles are the best in Koapni Village!
Hmm? Best in Koapni Village?
Here I thought they were the best in the world!
You bet, Granny! Best in the world!
No--best in the galaxy!
And let me add: best in the universe!
Flattery will get you nowhere!
Hey, that reminds me...
Where is everyone?
Debli and the rest?
They're enjoying Koapni Village to the fullest.
Nuzzling Nirvana!
It's pawpad paradise!
Eh?
Nothing burns brighter than my spirit!
Number One:
Beats!
Warm heart, cool breath.
I'm Number Two:
Cryo!
Sparkle-sparkle!
My beauty is almost blindingly bright!
Number Three:
Fifi here!
You don't need glasses to see that I'm the brains of the bunch--
Number Four:
Spex, purr!
Any time's a good time for a catnap!
Number Six:
It's me, Floof!
All together,
we're the Numbers!
These big-city Felynes are just so snazzy!
Sucks to be them!
They're missing out on some truly tasty grub!
Huh?
Now, now. There's plenty more--
Dearie me!
It's empty!
Navirou's mouthmate...
I'm so sorry. We just can't get any vegetables these days.
That makes it hard to make Poi Palloi Pickles.
I'll get the veggies for you!
And Navirou'll help!
That's so sweet of you, but it's not that easy.
The woodland fields have been destroyed, you see--
by the Black Blight.
The Black Blight...
It's always been something that came about naturally,
then disappeared in much the same way.
But for whatever reason, this time it's not going away.
Let's go, Lute!
Yeah! Can't ignore this!
We gotta protect Granny's Poi Palloi Pickles!
Navirou's donut!
Here I thought there was a big piece of trash in the road...
Hah! It's just mew.
Bleah! Gross.
Tastes weird.
Purrfect fur a weirdo like mew.
Say what you want about Navirou.
But...
...don't be badmouthing his donuts!
Uh-oh--watch out! He's gonna zap ya!
Mew just try pullin' that freaky trick of yours.
We'll boot your tail clean outta town!
Hah! The world is calling Navirou!
He doesn't have time to waste purring and mewing with the likes of you!
Please, no fighting! Everyone be nice!
Hmph!
I'm only lookin' out fur mew.
If mew do anything to hurt my friend,
I'll see to it mew'll never be able to eat a donut again!
Yeah!
What's with them?
I mean, with that weird face and weird whiskers,
you definitely are a weirdo, Navirou.
But you're not someone who'd hurt anyone else.
Navirou is a complicated man.
You can't expect anyone like that to understand him.
Besides, this was never Navirou's hometown or anything.
Hey, where are you going?
Forgot to buy some village-specialty Felyne sugar donuts.
Go on ahead.
Geez, I just figured this was where Navirou was from.
When Navirou washed ashore on this island,
the Anesfreesia had only just begun to bloom.
Oh, no!
Stay with me!
Are mew all right? What's your name?
I...
He didn't know who he was or where he came from,
this mysterious Felyne, carried in on the waves.
That was Navirou.
After a while, his body recovered,
but it seemed he'd furgotten his smile along with his memories.
Say, won't mew go fur a walk with me?
This is my secret spot.
I come here alone when I'm sad or downhearted.
Just being here can brighten my heart right up!
What a purrecious smile!
It's Navirou!
My name is Navirou!
Hooray!
Navirou'd remembered his name and his smile.
He never did regain any other memories,
but he soon became the life of the village.
Ride On!
Rathalos!
So you saved Navirou's life, then.
He's the one who saved me.
Pansy!
I'd never seen that beautiful, beautiful sparkle before.
But Tiger thought Navirou was trying to hurt me.
Mew get away from her!
Tiger!
I tried to clear up the misunderstanding...
But then one day, Navirou was just... gone.
Oh, wow...
Navirou might not have been born here,
but there are a lot of folks here who really like him.
Gotta tell the others!
We meet again!
Not so fast.
Pansy stopped me last time,
but this time, I will get my payback.
Navirou doesn't have time to talk to you!
Mew hurt Pansy!
You've got it all wrong!
Navirou's never done anything to hurt her!
This isn't about what happened in the forest.
Huh?
Pansy...
She left the village to chase after mew.
She was beyond worried when mew left the village without a word.
I'm not about to let her go through that again!
Think hard about your plans.
If you're leaving, mew better tell her first.
And if you're staying...
...show me that you're someone I can trust.
Let's go, Screwtail.
Prove yourself!
Don't tell me it's over there, too!
Pansy?!
Lute! Take a look at this!
The Black Blight, at the beach?
Pansy!
"Blighted Yian Garuga"
Pansy!
That monster's Blighted!
Pansy!
Ride On!
Yian Kut-Ku!
That's Pansy!
Fluffy-wuffy...
Tub...
...li!
Huh?
It's Debli! Say it right!
Pansy!
Navirou!
Are you scared?!
That's 'cause Yian Garuga is Yian Kut-Ku's natural enemy!
You rest here, okay?
Ride On!
Tigrex!
Poogie, Poogie, Poogie, Poogie...
Lute! Get some distance!
Got it!
The tail is its weak spot!
But be careful: it's poisonous, too!
Roger!
Make your move the next time it uses its breath attack!
Rock Smash!
Pansy!
Navirou...
Everything's all right now. Navirou's with you.
Navirou'll protect you, Pansy!
Navirou!
Thank mew, Navirou!
That's twice mew've saved me...
How can I ever thank mew?
Navirou owes you his life, Pansy.
Saving you twice is hardly enough to repay you.
Navirou...
Are you hurt at all?
Nope!
But, uh... Why the Great Poogie?
Um... About that...
Ride On!
Barioth!
Is he all right?!
It must be the heat. Frostfang's from a snowy land, after all.
Leave this to me! Ride On!
Great Poogie!
Poogie, Poogie, Poogie, Poogie...
--Hey! Wait up! --Poogie!
Can't leave anything to him, can I...
We Riders gotta be there for each other!
Right?
C'mon, say something! Please?
This fellow's been hit with the Black Blight.
It's not just him, either.
There are traces of the Blight in the forest and at the shore!
No...
There has to be a Kinship Ore somewhere on this island.
And if that Kinship Ore has been taken over by the Black Blight...
...we've got to purify it!
Tiger!
Huh?
We had mew all wrong. Sorry 'bout that.
An' I'm sorry I ate your donut, too.
You guys...
Misunderstanding or no, I was real rotten to mew.
Hit me.
I don't wanna be hit.
But mew can cuss me out all mew want instead!
This means we're friends again!
Huh?
Tiger, you were just worried about Pansy, right?
Well, Navirou cares about Pansy, too.
So we both feel the same way!
Okay?
Navirou...
What a guy...
An' after all that teasin' we did, too...
What a great guy!
Okay, bring it in!
Navirou!
The Anesfreesia were all abloom the first time we came here, too.
It's like it was only yesterday...
Um... There's something I'd like to say.
Navirou... If it's at all possible...
Please--stay here in the village!
Mew... don't want to?
Th-That's not it!
It's just... Well...
Everyone would be so happy if mew stayed.
Let's live here together!
Pansy...
Navirou is...
Oh, no! Awful news!
This is terribly serious!
What happened?!
My precious pickle weight has been stolen!
Huh?!
"Monstie Manual"
The Monstie Manual!
"Monstie Manual"
Navirou here will fill you in on some Monsties!
Get your Media Trigger smartphone app ready!
And you've got your egg with you, right?
Okay, time to form Kinship with your Monstie Egg!
And now, the moment of new life: awaken!
"Monstie:"
Our Monstie this time is Yian Garuga!
"Yian Garuga"
"Type: Technical"
This Bird Wyvern takes pride in its tough black shell and long mane!
"Species: Bird Wyvern"
"Overall Length: 325.8 cm"
It's so hot-tempered that it'll keep on attacking even when hurt,
"Overall Height: 141.1 cm (with ears spread)"
"Leg Size: 62 cm"
making it a Monstie you can count on.
Plus there's heavy-duty poison in its tail!
What Monstie will hatch for us next time?
"Next Episode Preview"
Lute here!
The Poi Palloi Pickle weight's been stolen,
and Koapni Village is in a real tizzy!
But we're on the case! Right... Detective Navirou?!
Next time: "Rainbow Beach Blockade!"
"Rainbow Beach Blockade!"
Ride On!
