Ash: Pikachu what's a matter? You had another nightmare, didn't you?

Pikachu: Pika Pi. (jumps into Ash's arms for comfort, and then starts crying)

Ash: (Picks up Pikachu and rocks him back and forth) Shh...It's ok. I'm here.

Ash: Is Pikachu ok Nurse Joy?

Nurse Joy: Pikachu's health is in tip top condition. But, how long have these nightmares been going

on?

Ash: About a week.

Nurse Joy: Hold on, I'll be right back.

Ash: What should I do?

Nurse Joy: I've spoken to Professor Oak and he would like you to return ASAP. He said it's time he told

Ash: Huh?
