Chris carries the playful young Kangaskhan in his arms as he continues to look for Mewtwo. Ninetales and Lars are following. Suddenly Ninetales barks and runs ahead.
'Wait, Ninetales!' calls Chris. He runs after his pokemon, but it is too fast for him. By the time he reaches it a few minutes later, it is huddled on the ground shivering.
'What happened, Ninetales?' Chris exclaims.
'Nine, nine...' murmurs Ninetales.
'Are you hurt?' Lars asks worridly. Chris bends down to his pokemon and inspects it. It doesn't seem to have any physical injuries, but it is obviously scared and has lost all its strength.
'You'd better get back in your pokeball,' says Chris kindly, and holds out the red and white ball. Ninetales is warped back inside and Chris puts the ball away.
'What happened?' Lars asks Chris.
'I don't know what happened, but I know what did it,' says Chris angrily. 'Mewtwo!'
