Ash and Misty looked around the room. Pikachu sniffed. "Pika! Pikapi! Pikachupi! Pika pika!" he cried.
Ash looked at the mouse. "What is it, Pikachu?" he asked.
Pikachu pointed to the floor. Ash looked. "There's a trail of paint leading out that door!" he cried.
Misty gasped. "Let's follow it!" she cried.
Ash, Misty and Pikachu started running. They made it 5 feet out the door when they were hit from the side by a Pokémon. "What was that for?" Ash asked.
Meowth stood up. "I can't let you get to the paint! We need it to trade for Pikachu!" he said.
Ash was stunned. "Really? You're still trying to get Pikachu? Move on with your lives already!" he said.
Just then, a blonde-haired woman pulled up on her motorcycle. "Who are you?" Ash asked.
The woman laughed. "Don't you remember me? I'm Serena, from Kalos." she said.
Ash was stunned. "I'm so sorry for not recognizing you." he said.
Serena smiled. "It's ok, Ash." she said.
Ash and Misty continued running, following the trail of paint. Serena watched them go, and then pulled out a remote. "Time to put my plan into motion." she said.
Suddenly, the ground in front of Ash and Misty exploded. "What's happening?" they asked together.
