Luna changed the dream and showed the past of Ash and Scarlet to everyone in the dream. Though Ash and Scarlet were nervous about revisiting their past. Luna assured them that this was only to show their friends the source of Ash's fear. Everyone saw a young Ash and Scarlet playing in the backyard of their house. The two of them were running around chasing each other. Both of them were filled with joy and laughter. Scarlet watched this and a tear fell down her face. Ash looked towards his sister and she said, "That's the only good memory I have of that day." Ash hugged his sister and they watched more. Everyone watched Ash and Scarlet chase each other, but then they saw Scarlet fall down a hole. Ash and Scarlet both laughed when they saw that. Luna looked at the two and smiled. Ash replied, "That's still really funny to me." Scarlet responded, "Yeah, but I do remember that the landing was very painful. And the hole wasn't even that deep, but it still hurt." Everyone else started laughing at the flustered young Scarlet scolding the Mr. Mime holding a shovel. Then they all heard young Ash say, "Hey sis let's go see if mom's done with lunch and your birthday cake." Then they heard young Scarlet reply, "Is your mind on anything else other than food big brother?" Scarlet commented, "You haven't changed much since then." Everyone laughed in agreement when Scarlet said that. They continued to watch the events of Scarlet and Ash's past.
Young Ash and Scarlet ran through the door and young Ash said, "Hey mom is lunch ready yet?" Delia laughed and replied, "Almost, I'm just waiting on the cake." Then the cake was done and Delia took it out. She served the two of them lunch and started decorating the cake. The two ate their lunch and were ready to move on to the cake. When the cake was done, Delia brought it in with the candles already lit. Scarlet commented, "We never did eat that cake." Ash responded, "Yeah that's one of the many things I regret about that day." Dawn asked, "Why do you say that Ash?" Ash answered, "Just watch." They watched as the Team Nova admin made her appearance. Delia had gone up and asked questions to the admin while standing in front of her children. Then after a few questions, the admin stepped to the side. Scarlet turned her head towards Ash and he put his arm around her. Delia was hit by a hyper beam and she went through the back wall of the house. The young Ash and Scarlet stared shocked at the back of their house. Gary and the other's were also shocked. Paul walked up to Ash and Scarlet. He placed his hand on Ash's shoulder. Ash looked at Paul and he said, "I'm sorry you two had to go through that." Ash nodded his gratitude and continued watching. Then they saw young Ash and Scarlet had separated from their embrace and had moved out of the way. The admin began approaching young Scarlet. Young Ash ran over to protect Scarlet. When he was in front of his sister, he found himself in the admin's custody because the admin had grabbed him by the arm. The admin began to drag him out of the house. Young Scarlet began screaming her brother's name and began to run after them. Everyone saw Ash's reaction to young Scarlet screaming his name. Gary also walked up to Ash. Ash explained, "Scarlet screaming my name still bothers me to this day." Scarlet said, "I'm sorry about that. But honestly, that was the only thing I think of." Gary added, "And what would you expect? You where kidnapped by an evil organization. It's only natural for her to do that." They continued to watch and they saw young Scarlet collapse in the field and start crying. Then Mewtwo came to her.
Ash said, "You let Mewtwo erase you memories of me?" Scarlet replied, "It was to keep me from being reckless and going after you. Besides I was still seven years from becoming a trainer." Luna interrupted, "Though you may have erased the memories of that day, you never forgot the feeling you felt that day. And it was those feelings that led you back to this field. But letting out your emotions allowed you to release your fear. So that's why you don't have Ash's nightmare problem." Then Luna changed the vision. She continued, "Now that we've seen the first part of the trauma it's time for me to show the second part of the trauma. And this will be from Ash's time in Team Nova's custody." Ash got nervous about revisiting his days of captivity. Luna showed the vision and Scarlet and Serena both held Ash's hand to help him relax. Luna noticed Ash's behavior and knew that the dream would be affected by it. They watched as young Ash was placed in large room. Calem's father came in and demanded him to do as he was told. The grunts and admins came in with their pokemon drawn. Young Ash refused and was attacked before he could react. Calem's father continued to try to force Ash into doing what he said. Young Ash used his powers to defend himself, but he couldn't keep it up for long. Then Team Nova had their pokemon surround young Ash and then attack at the same time. Young Ash was backed into a corner. The pokemon launched their attacks. Luna stopped the vision at the last second before the attack hit. And she said, "There that's the source of Ash's fear of Team Nova." Everyone couldn't believe what they were seeing. Paul was furious with Team Nova and he even showed it, but before he could express his anger. The dream began to change.
The vision disappeared and a dream version of Calem's father appeared along with the admins and grunts. They had their pokemon drawn. Everyone saw that Ash was afraid of someone forcing him to do something he doesn't want to in the same way Team Nova did. They all gathered around him to show him that they were there for him. Ash was beginning to let go of his fear, but Calem's father had the pokemon attack. Luna got in front of them. She began preparing to use a powerful spell. As the attacks drew closer, everyone began to worry about the attacks hitting Luna. Then Luna reared on her on her hind legs and then she slammed her hooves down. Then she cast the spell. The spell almost overpowered the attacks, but Luna began to struggle to hold them off. She telepathically said to Ash, "Ash, you must face your fears! And soon I can't hold off this combo attack forever! The fear within the nightmare is too strong for me to handle! If you face your fears the nightmares will weaken and I'll be able to fix the dream!" Ash looked at Calem's father, the admins and grunts, and the pokemon. He started to become determined to defeat this nightmare once and for all. He turned to Pikachu whom was on his shoulder. Both he and Pikachu nodded to each other. He ran forward to assist Luna. He shouted, "Pikachu, use Thunder bolt!" Pikachu let out a powerful electric attack. The thunder bolt collided with the combo attack and Luna's spell and completely overpowered the attack. Ash had completely let go of his fears and the nightmare began to weaken. Luna flew up and she used her alicorn magic to transform the dream back to the way it was.
Then after everything was back to normal Luna turned to Ash and said, "Well done Ash! That thunder bolt had a lot of meaning and power in it. Now these nightmares won't come back, but visions are another story." Paul then explained, "I can't believe Team Nova would go as far as forcing a kid to do as they say by inflicting pain on them. I'm mean how cruel can they get?" Luna commented, "Paul you haven't seen anything yet." Then Luna continued, "Let's finish this discussion when you wake up." Luna cast a spell that would wake the kids up. But Luna knew they would need to be ready for a danger that concerned her own survival. Luna needed to prepared them for the journey a head.
