Back at Pikankly's place, Pikankly looked up what the first location of the first Poké Crystal is at.
" Well, according to this, the first Poké Crystal is at Squirtle Village." said Pikankly. Ash did remembered that he used to have a Squirtle on his team during the Kanto, Orange Island and Johto journey.
" Squirtle Village, huh? It reminds me of when my Squirtle joined the team when I was on my journey in Kanto! Ah, memories..." said Ash.
" But we don't have time for memories! We gotta get the Poké Crystal first!" said Dumpika. Ash knows that.
" Yes, yes. I know." said Ash feeling annoyed. Then Ash thought about if May and her Blaziken are okay. " I hope they're alright. I hate to see them get hurt by the Darkrai clan." Ash said in his thought. Oak looked at Ash.
" Something wrong, Ash?" Oak asked. Ash looked really worried. " Ooooh...it's about May and Blaziken, isn't it? Don't worry, Ash. I'm sure they're alright!" Oak smiled. Pikachu comforts Ash telling him not to worry too much. Ash smiled and felt better.
" You're right! I shouldn't be worried! Me, Pikachu and Dumpika will find all 7 of the Poké Crystals, opened the Thousand-Year Door and not only that, but we'll rescue both May and Blaziken in no time!" Ash said feeling confident and ambitious. Oak smiled.
" That's the spirit, Ash! Well, I think I'd better stay here with Pikankly. Max, would you like to help?" said Oak. Max looked at Oak.
" W-what about my sister?" said Max. Ash compliments Max.
" Max, don't worry! I'll find your sister! I promise." said Ash. Pikachu agreed. Max paused for a minute...and accepts Ash's words.
" Okay. Good luck on your adventure!" said Max. Ash nods as he, Pikachu and Dumpika walked out the door, went to the sewers and went to Squirtle Village. Their adventure has begun!
