"Here goes nothing!" shouts Ash.
The hot-air balloon just grazes the top of the curtain as it passed harmlessly across it.
"Hooray!" shouts Team Rocket.
"We made it!" says James happily.
"FzzzzzBOOOM!!!"
A flare has just flew into the hotair balloon.
"We're"
"Gonna"
"Die."
Then, they fell.
"Ahhhhhhh!" screams Team Rocket together and they hug each other in fear.
"Wahh..whah...wahhh!" Ash is screaming as well as they streak downwards.
"Ahhhhhhh*OOMF*!" Team Rocket hits the ground first.
'*Thunk!*' the hotair balloon falls on top of them.
"Wahh...wahh*OOMF*!" Ash also lands. On top of everything else that is.
"Why does everything have to land on US?" say Team Rocket with swirly spiral eyes.
"And just what are you doing?"
"Uh...Officer Jenny!" exclaims Ash.
"What?" answers about a dozen Officer Jennys, turning to see the commotion.
"Your trespassing," the first Officer Jenny tells Ash,"I'm afraid we'll have to arrest and detain you until further notice. Sorry, the rules." continues Officer Jenny, shrugging her shoulders.
"Well, you can keep the twerp. We'll be just going off now." says Team Rocket as they crawl out from under the hot-air balloon and prepare to sneak off.
"HOLD IT!!!"
Team Rocket tries to run but are stop by some six Officer Jennys.
"Trespassing....attempting to escape arrest...." mumbles one Officer Jenny, scribbling on a ticket book she is holding.
"Wait! Officer Jenny!" shouts Professor Oak as he runs from across the field.
"Professor Oak?" says Ash in surprise.
"I must say that I'm surprised you manage to come here. Though, I expect if any trainer could go through, uh, over the curtain it would be you."
"Oh, thanks." says Ash, embarrassed and turning slightly red.
"Anyway, Officer Jenny, can you withhold any charges as of yet?" ask Professor Oak as he turns to Officer Jenny.
"Well, I...I don't know. That is strictly against regulations..."
"Please, he's only a young boy and I'm pretty sure he had a good reason coming over the curtain."
"Okay, wait for a while, I'll get a majority vote. HEY! GIRLS, HUDDLE!" shouts Officer Jenny to the rest of the Officer Jenny.
All the Officer Jennys huddle together (Team Rocket has been bound, gagged, locked in a armoured police van with a chain lock and video security system. Waoh!) and soft whispers and mutterings are heard. Some time later, they break off and one of the Officer Jennys announces,"We have decided to let Ash Ketchum be free of all charges on the count of a majority vote of everyone to none."
"Yeah!" exclaims Ash in relief.
"However, don't think that you'll be lucky everytime." Officer Jenny tells Ash and walks away.
"Well, Ash," says Professor Oak.
Ash snaps around to face him.
"I think that your probably wondering what the crisis is." continues Professor Oak.
"I know what the crisis is, everybody knows! The Pokemon are actinf weird and running away from their trainers."
"Oh but its more than that! Wild Pokemon are acting the same way and so are Pokemon not even on Kanto!" exclaims Oak.
"It's that serious?" asks Ash in surprise.
"Yes, it most certainly is. Here, I'll show you," instructs Oak as he walks to a large tent about ten feet away.
Ash follows Oak into the tent.
"Ahhh!" exclaims Ash in awe.
The tent is stocked top to bottom with computers, satellites and various other scientific equipment. The whole place was filled with buzzing and printing sounds. Several of Prof. Oak's aides were hard at work.
"Ash, come see this."
Ash walks to a computer screen where Prof. Oak was busy bending down to in front of the computer, opening a programme.
"Now, see this, Ash," Oak points to the computer as he stands up.
Ash walks in front of the computer screen. The screen shows a fuzzy green background with some distinct shapes that look like rocks and trees. But what really caught his eye were the fuzzy red coloured images on the background. Every few seconds, the computer blinked and a new photo appears. The computer wasn't able to show continously moving pictures and had to show updated snapshots every few seconds. The red shapes seemed to be vaguely in the shape of...people! Children to be more exact. Ash estimate that they are around the same age as him but he is sure that they are the same height as him. Another interesting thing Ash sees, there are creatures that look like Pokemon around them.
"Ash, these images that you are seeing now are being picked up by our satellite. These pictures are from beyond the fringe of the forest where the runaway Pokemon are."
"Well, there are trainers and Pokemon over there! Maybe they are the one's that are causing all the trouble!"
"No, Ash," Oak shakes his head,"That cannot be."
"Why?" asks Ash indigantly.
"We cross-refered the creatures that you see on the computer screen, they are not any Pokemon that has ever been recorded. There have been no sightings or legends or fairytales about them. As far as we know, we have never even concieved them."
"But that could mean that they are just rare and never seen before!" Ash argued.
"Wait, Ash. As for the children or who ever they are, there have been no records of runaways recently and no records of any trainers recorded in the database to suggest who they are."
"But that could mean that they just unlicensed trainers!" shouts Ash again,"These don't prove anything!"
Oak smiles.
"You are right, Ash. But please cool down! Your turning red!"
Ash takes Oak advice and starts to cool down a bit but he still looks at Oak for answers.
"This last fact should denounce any doubt that you have," continues Oak.
"According to our computer,"
"These people and creatures,"
"Are computer data." Oak finishes.
Ash is bemused.
"What's that suppose to mean?"
Oak topples over.
"It means that they not suppose to be alive! There not suppose to walk on this plane! There should be in your computer games! They..." shouts Oak, surprised that Ash could not understand what he just said.
"Okay! Okay! I get it already!"
Oak becomes more composed.
"But could it be a glitch?" asks Ash.
"No, impossible. We checked it dozens of time. These results are real."
Ash looks at the computer screen again. The images are still moving on the fuzzy green background.
'Creatures that are not suppose to be able to exist on this plane? What could this mean?' thinks Ash.

"Bye!" Sam waves to Henry who is waving back from a window.
"Bye!" Henry replies and hurries to tend to his customers.
It is afternoon now (Note: Time doesn't seem to correspond with Ash's right? Well, so that you know, after Sam went to sleep last time and we jump to Ash, it was already the next day), with S.K outside the inn, hundreds of tenants rushed to the inn. Business is booming and the inn is packed up and Henry and his family are busier than thye have been for years.
Sam is on S.K. She has a pack of food prepared by Helen for her journey. Right now, she is waiting. For what, you ask? Well, for her mark to show where to go of course.
"Hurry up, will you!" Sam mutters to the mark on her left wrist.
"Well, come on!" she yells and start to shake her hand.
The mark catches the light and immediately, Sam feels the burning, tingling sensation that meant that the mark was at work. The mark glowed an angry orange, red colour and a shot of flame escaped it.
"YOW!" Sam shouts in surprise.
The flame seems to be alive! It shoots up and then turns to face Sam. Sam is in awe and her jaw drops. The flame then turns away and faces the path on which Sam is on. It then shreeks down it and over the horizon. S.K looks back at Sam apprehensively. Sam pushes her jaw back up and stares at the flaming thin trail of flame that is hanging in the air. It is still connected to her mark.
"Well, let's follow it! Go, S.K!" Sam suddenly shouts.
"Rowf!" barks S.K in agreement and bounds forward, following the fire trail.

Somewhere between the trio of islands, home to the Legendary Birds of Ice, Lightning and Fire, on the bottom of the deep sea, the God of Water awakens. Lugia's eyes open, glowing in the dark water. He raises his great head and opens his mouth and let's out a mournful note of his song. He "flaps" his wings and arises. He swims and then turns into the water whirlpool to quicken his progress to the surface.
On the surface, Lugia's whirlpool suddenly breaks through the ocean surface. He stops the whirlpool and flaps in the air. He starts to sing again.
Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres awaken on their respective islands, responding to Lugia's song. They arise as well and fly up to join Lugia.
Slowking, on his island, sees all this in great surprise and shock and a little fear (Note: Slowking was not effected like the other Pokemon as his job overrided all others even though that job is done. Anyway, he doesn't know the surf technique and doesn't know how to naturally swim.)
'What is wrong?' Slowking asks himself, fearing another battle like before.
However, no battle happened. Lugia, being a part Psychic type, "heard" Slowking's query. He then sends a Psychic message to Slowking, 'Do not fear, Slowking. But there is trouble but not here.'
Slowking jumps a bit in surprise but collected himself enough to send a Psychic message back,'Where then, Lugia?'
'On the mainland. Slowking,'
Slowking stands at the attention at his name.
'We need you come with us.'
Slowking gulps, he knew what that meant.
Lugia smiles.
'Do not worry, you will not fall.'
Saying or rather thinking that, Lugia flys down in front of Slowking and lands onto the ground. Slowking walks to Lugia and climbs up onto him which took quite an effort. Slowking grabs onto Lugia as best as he can and waits for the take-off.
With a cry, Lugia flys back up and together with the Legendary Birds and Slowking on his back, they fly towards the Kanto North Mountains.

In Johto, Ecruteak city, Morty(Ecruteak Gym leader) has just finished battling another aspirings trainer. He walks outside for some fresh air when...
BOOM!
"What the?!" exclaims Morty, looking towards the Tin Tower.
The top of Tin Tower has been blasted apart and but a jet of flame. Through the smoke and fire arises a Ho-oh, God of Fire.
"Cheragg!" crys Ho-oh and flys out of Tin Tower.
"Ho-oh," whispers Morty in awe.
Suddenly, there is the sound of people screaming and shouting. Morty looks away from the sky and looks down the road. Dashing up the road were Entei, Suicune and Raikou, the Legendary Dogs of Fire, Water and Lightning!
Morty covers his face as he is pelted with dust and sand when the Dogs run right past him and out of the city.
"Cheragg!" crys Ho-oh again and flys after them.
Morty uncovers his face and watches the retreating figures of the Bird and Dogs.
The hot-air balloon just grazes the top of the curtain as it passed harmlessly across it.
"Hooray!" shouts Team Rocket.
"We made it!" says James happily.
