Ash, Misty, and Brock walked up the hill, lost again. Tree's fliped and swacked around in their faces as Brock twirled the map round and round, trying to find where they were. A few times they almost fell in a small hole or bumped into each other. No Pokemon was in sight, or had been in quite a while. Ash's stomache growled.

"I'm sooooo hungry! Why can't we stop and eat?" Ash asked.

"Do you see any place around here?" Misty replied.

"No."

"Then why do you think we could stop and eat?"

"Don't we have any food in our bag?"

"As I recall... you ate it all!"

"Oh."

"Hey! According to the map, there is a village right ahead," Brock said.

"Really?" Ash asked.

"Yeh. But who kno..." But Ash already was running off.


Brock and Misty ran behind, trying to catch up, when Misty screamed. Brock turned around immediately. Misty was on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Brock asked, worry on his face.

"I... Triped. There was something in the way... I think it was a Pokemon. A Poocheena, I think. But it was different..." Brock walked over and held out his hand. Misty took it and hopped up.

"Brock!" Ash yelled from a distance. "This is cool!"

They ran up to him and looked out. It was not a village, but a valley with a few houses hidden amongst the forestation. Waterways streamed through and sparkled. In the distance was a waterfall.

"Wow..." Everyone said at the same time.
