There was a crystallized gazebo like shelter in the room before them and they decided to approach it. Ash felt a disturbance and took out Lisa's little tool as it lit up slightly.
'Are you guy's okay?' a voice asked.
"Lisa?" the others asked, surprised.
"Guys, we just saw you on TV,' Lisa informed. 'What do you think you're doing?'
"We did this to save Ash's mom and Estelle." Akito said.
"We should've told Professor Oak." Emi added.
"That's right, you should have!" Professor Oak said through the device, sounding strict. "But we'll talk about that later after you save your mother."
"And mine." Thomas added.
"Also your sister, Akito and Vincent." Satoshi finished.
"Right." Akito nodded.
"Ash, this is Dad," Satoshi signed in. "Have you seen any Unknown?"
"Uh... No." Ash replied.
"At least not yet." Emi added.
"Why?" Akito asked. "What should we expect?"
"Listen, we've been examining some of Professor Hale's research," Professor Oak informed. "We think we've found an explanation for why this has been happening."
"What is it, Professor?" Emi asked in concern.
"Unknown have the ability to read the thoughts of other life forms." Thomas reported.
"Even humans?" Felicity asked.
"Yes, and not only that," Satoshi added. "The Unknown can create new realities, altering the world using dreams."
"Wow." Akito said, surprised.
"The Unknown may be tapping into the imagination of Molly," Thomas continued. "That fortress could be one of Molly's wishes, made real by the Unknown!"
"But why would she want a fortress around her mansion?" Vincent asked.
"We're about to find out," Ash said determined as he summoned one of his Pokemon. "Cyndaquil, Flamethrower!"
The Cyndaquil squealed, took a deep breath and blasted fire to the ice crystal window of the gazebo.
"That should be big enough for all of us to go through one at a time." Vincent smiled.
However, before they could move or go through their new door, the door sealed itself up, replacing the malfunction.
"Oh, come on!" Akito groaned.
"Let's try this again.." Vincent said.
"Right." Brock agreed.
The two got their Vulpixes out to help Cyndaquil with the flamethrower to make the melting last longer. Emi even brought out her Quilava.
"Nice job, guys!" Brock cheered their flame assisting Pokemon.
"All right, second team!" Ash then called.
Ash, Misty, and Emi then commanded their next Pokemon to use their flames on the gazebo as well.
"Alright, Pikachu, you're first." Emi said.
"Aye-Aye!" Pikachu called before jumping into the water provided by the water Pokemon and going through the hole.
"Ladies first." Akito suggested.
Emi, Felicity, and Misty smiled before they went after Pikachu.
"Alright, Brock and Vincent, you're next." Akito said.
Brock and Vincent went after.
Akito picked up the Pokemon in his arms. "All right, Ash, here we go!"
Ash went first, doing his best, while Akito came after and they managed to make it inside before the door sealed shut.
"Whew, that was close." Akito sighed out of relief.
"I didn't think we'd make it..." Ash said, very relieved himself.
"Thanks, Staryu, you were perfect." Misty smiled at her starfish Pokemon before returning it to its Pokeball.
"You too, Totodile." Ash put his Pokemon back as well.
"Papa, did you see that?" Vulpix came up to Vincent with a smile. "Did you see what I did?"
"Yes, Vulpix, I sure did." Vincent smiled.
"Thanks, Croconuck." Emi put her Pokemon back as well.
"This way!" Felicity pointed to a way out.
They then rushed down the way to continue their adventure for their missing relatives. They kept going, and going, and going... Until finally, they found a staircase.
"Finally, now maybe we can get to the next floor." Akito said.
Ash took a step, which then made a green glow fill the air and everything looked rather delusional. "Hey!" he cried out once everything had a strange change. "What's going on?"
"I think the Unknown are creating a new reality like your dad, Thomas, and Professor Oak said." Akito guessed the very obvious and distinct possibility.
"We better keep going no time to stop." Vincent said.
"Everyone, hurry on, but be careful!" Felicity warned them as they climbed up the disoriented stairs.
They began to run up the stairs going up to the next floor.
It felt like forever, but they had finally made it to the top and came into a new room which surprised and amazed them. It was like a very peaceful and serene meadow that had more stairs for them to climb.
"Where are we?" Emi wondered.
"This must be Molly's dream world created by the Unknown." Brock said.
"Dream worlds are very important..." Felicity said as she looked around. "This place is bright and shiny... Maman would hate it here."
While that was going on, little did they all know, they were being followed by three major annoyances. It was Team Rocket: Jessie, James, and Meowth. James fell to his knees after getting the door open and nearly slipped. Before them, they saw the strange Pokemon, which overwhelmed them.
"What are those?" James asked.
"Are they Pokemon?" Jessie wondered.
"They look like alphabet soup without the soup." Meowth commented.
"I don't know about soup, but if we're not careful, we'll end up in hot water." James stated.
"Then let's get out of here." Jessie whispered.
Meowth and James were about to go the other way, but Jessie grabbed them and led them the other way.
"I haven't seen this many strange letters since my personal ad." James whimpered.
Meanwhile with Molly, Estelle, Delia, Cherry, and Entei...
"I think those kids and their Pokemon must be here in the house somewhere." Molly commented.
'Shall I send them away?' Entei asked.
Molly shook her head. "I wanna in a Pokemon battle, Mama, Aunty, and Big Sister," she said to her hostages. "But I don't know if I can."
"We'll do it together, little sis." Estelle said.
'If that is what you wish.' Entei added.
"Do you really think I can?" Molly smiled as she dreamed about becoming a Pokemon trainer.
'You can become anything you wish.' Entei told her.
"Yeah and I'll be there by your side, we'll be double team Pokemon trainers." Estelle told her.
Molly smiled, liking the sound of that. They both then laid down on the bed, imagining being a tag team of Pokemon trainers.
The moon came out as they traveled and Brock acted as their guide.
"Oh, this reminds me of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow that Maman taught me about once..." Felicity shivered slightly. "I just hope no Headless Horseman comes out..."
"I'm sure that no headless horsemen will be coming." Akito assured her.
"Yeah, that was just a legend." Emi added, knowing the story as well.
"Not the way Maman and Papa said it..." Felicity said softly.
Misty looked to the liquid by them. "At least the water didn't turn to crystal." she shrugged, trying to look on the bright side of this situation.
"We should be able to get to the mansion if we follow this stream." Brock said as he led the way.
"Yep, it should be easy." Akito said.
Entei went to the top of the crystal palace and disappeared after blasting someone, but no one else saw him. He just hopped down to return to Molly and their 'family'.
"Did you make them go away?" Molly asked.
'Yes,' Entei replied, which made Molly smile to her 'family'. 'They won't bother us again.'
"They're showing our house on television," Molly smiled as she watched from her laptop computer on the long running news report. "It looks nice."
"Yes, it does." Delia and Estelle said in unison.
Ash and Emi decided to have a little Pokemon help, so they sent out their Pokemon to help them into a secret entrance over a waterfall. Ash sent out his Bulbasaur, Chiikorita, and Noctowl while Emi sent out her Ivysaur, Bayleaf, and Sableye. Ash and Emi commanded their Pokemon to help them. Misty put Togepi in her backpack while the vine whip picked up the two Ketchum siblings.
"We'll go up first." Emi said.
"I'll meet you up there." Akito said, floating into the air.
Ash and Emi were a little heavy, but the Pokemon carefully brought them up. Akito began to fly up next to them both to make sure neither Ash or Emi fell.
Professor Oak, Thomas, and Lisa watched this from the lab.
"What're they-" Professor Oak gaped at the screen. "Those kids are looking for trouble!"
"They're looking for their moms and sister!" Lisa firmly told him, believing in her new friends.
Molly, Estelle, Delia, Cherry, and Entei even saw the scene.
"I don't understand, guys, why are those kids trying to get in our house?" Molly frowned.
Estelle, Delia, and Cherry focused on the screen and seemed to even snap out of their trance.
When Ash and Emi nearly fell with Felicity and Vincent made sure Akito didn't fall, they were back to normal.
"ASH, EMI, GET DOWN FROM THERE THIS SECOND!" Delia firmly yelled to the screen.
"Please be careful!" Estelle cried out.
"FLICK!" Cherry sounded sharper. "YOU FOOLISH GIRL!"
Molly looked to them. "Mama, Aunty, Big Sister... What's wrong?"
The three quickly returned to their trance. "Nothing..." they said quickly and smiled blankly back to her.
"Hey, isn't that a Pikachu on one of those boys' back?" Molly asked. She then gasped as she saw the other Pokemon, even Emi's. "I think that boy and his friends must be Pokemon trainers, don't you guys?" she asked Cherry, Delia, and Estelle.
"Uh, yes." All three nodded.
"I bet they have other Pokemon with them too," Molly smiled and turned to her 'father'. "Right, Papa?"
"Papa?" Estelle, Delia, and Cherry muttered, but they tried to pretend to be hypnotized still so they wouldn't get into trouble.
"Alright, all of us are now up here." Vincent said.
Ash and Emi then returned their Pokemon after a job well done to let them rest.
"Come on, we better hurry!" Felicity told them, feeling thankful that she wore boots since they were running through the water.
"Alright, time to continue on." Vincent smiled.
"We'd be so great..." Molly said as she leaned against 'their mother'. "I can just imagine it... Us as Pokemon trainers."
Entei of course took this into consideration and started to walk off to fulfill Molly's wishes. Delia and Cherry hid nervousness, worried of what the beast Pokemon would do just to make Molly happy as he vanished through the ground.
'I got to get out of here...' Cherry thought to herself, then glanced down to her rainbowy outfit. 'Just look at what I'm wearing! It looks like a clown threw up...'
While she was complaining, Entei was now going down to the floor where the others were as Molly and Estelle appeared on his back.
"Cherry, we have to find a way out of here..." Delia told her fellow mother.
"I know, I don't know if I can wait for the kids," Cherry looked back at her old friend. "I believe in them and all, but I don't know if I can take much more of this! We just can't let Molly know we're back to normal, it might be dangerous."
While they were trying to find a way out...
Entei rode with Estelle and Molly on his back as they traveled to the strange dimension that altered reality.
"Papa, maybe I'm not old enough to have Pokemon..." Molly said as they rode on the beast's back.
'You must believe you are.' Entei told the girl, not crushing her wishes like any other father would, though showering her with confidence and belief.
Molly shut her eyes and suddenly looked a little older and even her voice changed. "I do, Papa!"
Estelle did the same and suddenly looked older as well and her voice changed as well. "We can do this!"
Entei continued to carry them, now that they were ready to become professional Pokemon trainers.
