"Our heroes continue on their journey, but stop for a little sightseeing," the Narrator says.
"Wow!" Dawn exclaims, running up to a stone mural.
"This isn't in the guide," Brock rubs his chin in thought.
"Who cares!" Ash shouts, "Everyone's gotta see this! Come on out!" He releases Chimchar, Turtwig, Staravia, Buizel, and his new Gligar. Pikachu was already on his shoulder.
"You too!" Dawn sends out Ambipom, Pachirisu, Buneary, and Piplup, who was resting.
"Alright, come see this!" Brock releases Happiny, Croagunk, and Sudowoodo. Happiny, Gligar, and Pachirisu go to play in a patch of grass while everyone else looks around in wonder.
"It's written with Unown," Dawn leans in to read the words. "It says, 'Nearby lies a relic from across many generations. One that could bring peace to all the nations. But be careful if you find it. There is a reason it is not clearly lit. This is a big danger due to a mistake in the design. We hid it away and built a shrine. This object is reflective and the color of Mew. Shaped like a diamond, this is a warning to you. Beware of the Sapphire Stone.' Uh, that's all it says. This riddle makes no sense!"
"Hm," Brock thinks, "it seems clear to me. There must be a dangerous object buried somewhere hidden. Built for peace, but stored away to save everyone. Many years ago." Brock studies the rock closer, then moves to the back side. "Ash, do you have any water?"
"Sure," Ash grabs a water bottle out of his backpack. Brock accepts it and pours a few streams on the top. The rivers flow over it. An image comes to view and they gasp. It shows a glowing diamond form floating above a crowd of young kids and one elder. The elder has a staff and is under Protect from a Shieldon.
In a bush nearby, Team Rocket whisper to themselves. "A shining diamond!" Jessie quietly squeals. "Imagine how that could help me in my contests. We could cut it into mini pieces of jewelry!"
"But it's also very old," James provides, "and could be worth a hundred diamonds."
"'It is not clearly lit'," Meowth thinks. "There's a cave under the shrine. I saw it as we snuck over the cliff. Do you think it could be there?"
"Only one way to see," James replies and they all giggle. A few minutes later, they gasp in awe. Pink light shines in their eyes.
"Meowth, get the balloon," Jessie says.
Above, Ash relates, "It sounds bad. We should leave. We don't want to accidentally stumble upon-"
A chuckle breaks his thought. They look up to see Team Rocket floating past in their Meowth balloon. A mechanical arm holds the jewel in its clutches.
"Team Rocket!" The kids shout in unison.
"We have the Sapphire Stone!" Jessie teases.
"Hey," Brock yells, "you shouldn't have that."
"We can have anything we want," she snaps back.
"Quick, Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" The trainer commands. Team Rocket scream as they crash into a nearby tree. The basket hangs onto the ground and the trio swiftly recover themselves.
"No matter," James says as they lift up the relic, "with this diamond, we'll be rich in no time!" They all giggle, but stop suddenly. The jewel starts glowing with a fierce white light. They gasp and everyone cringes from the blinding blast.
When Dawn, Ash, and Brock can see again, they suck in their breath. "What happened?" Brock says. Jessie, James, and Meowth lay on the ground. They are in different clothes, however, one thing stands out.
"They're all kids!" Ash exclaims. True to his words, the trio are all unconscious young versions of themselves. James is wearing a small blue suit, Jessie wears small faded garments, and Meowth is a small fragile kitten.
