"Oof!"

"Ash, are you okay?" Dawn asked.

Ash sat up. "Ish…," He shakily replied. Dawn and Brock looked at each other and ran over to Ash, kneeling down next to him.

"What did you hurt?" Brock asked gently, realizing that Ash had tears in his eyes. He was breathing heavily, and his face was pale.

"Ankle," He whispered. Pikachu was concerned, and Brock was, too. Dawn and the others helped Ash up, and were going to help him over to an old log, but Ash almost collapsed when his ankle brushed against Dawn's pink boot. Brock barely caught him, and he realized that Ash had hurt it worse than he'd thought. He gently helped Ash to the log, soon after examining it. It wasn't too swollen, but he knew that a break doesn't swell as much as a sprain. Brock quickly got some ice from Dawn's Buneary and set it on Ash's ankle, deciding that it was more than likely broken.

All of a sudden, as they were helping Ash up to get him to a doctor, his eyes closed, and his body went limp. Ash had fainted, and Brock quickly picked him up and carried him gently towards a Pokemon Center.
