The trainers, Pikachu and Togapi were sitting around the fire eating breakfast when Misty decided to mention her dream. "I had the strangest dream." She ventured. The others looked up. "Yeah? Strange how, Misty?" Asked Tracey. "It was very realistic, and I knew it was a dream." She had the group's attention now so she told them about the rest. "You couldn't recognise the voice either?" Asked Brock. Misty shook her head. "No, Not quite. I guess that since it was only a part of someone, the voice sounded a little different." There was silence for a while so Misty decided to change the subject. "What are we gonna do today?" She asked. Tracey took out the map and studied it for a moment. "Interesting." He began. "Not far from this part of the island there's a few places that are supposed to be great for finding Pokémon. They're just called Points' here. We could stay a few more days and visit a few of these spots." Ash nodded. "Sounds like a plan to me." He said. After some discussion, they decided to go to Sapphire Point.

"So Tracey, what kind of Pokémon will we find?" Ash asked as he mentally chose which Pokémon he would use to capture them. "Mainly water and grass at this place, it's right by a lake." Tracey answered. Misty smiled "Great, Water types! I can't wait!" She exclaimed. "You won't have to." Brock called from ahead as he pushed the brush aside to reveal the lake. By now, the trainers had a bit of a system which they put to work.

First, the trainers would follow Tracey to a patch of tall grass where they could look at Pokémon without being noticed. While Tracey filled more of his sketchbook, the other trainers would look around to see if there were any Pokémon that they would battle. However, this time when they looked for Pokémon all they saw were one or two Magikarp in the lake and an Oddish by the side. There were also some footprints heading west. Brock frowned. "There should be more here than this." He said. Tracey nodded. "Much more, I wonder where they all disappeared to?"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the lake, two familiar people and one familiar Pokémon were wondering the same thing. "I don't get it." Said James as he looked through his binoculars. "I heard that this place is usually teeming with Pokémon." He scratched his head. "Well you heard wrong then!" Jessie said angrily. "This is a waste of time." Meowth suddenly looked interested in something. "Hey, wait a second- well what do you know, it's the twerps!" Jessie and James quickly donned the binoculars again. "Yeah, it's those brats alright." Jessie smiled. "Maybe there are a couple of worthwhile Pokémon here!"

"Hey!" Called Brock. "It was a good idea for us to come here after all. Look at all the fruit trees." Sure enough, there was fruit growing on all the trees surrounding them. "Hey great!" Said Ash. "I was starting to get hungry." The others felt similarly, so they spent some time raiding the trees. They were about to leave when they heard two very familiar voices "Oh no." The trainers said in unison, as they braced themselves. The dreaded 'Motto' was recited, and then Team Rocket got down to business.

"Since all the good Pokémon here seem to have vanished, we thought we'd steal yours to make up for it!" Jessie said as she threw two Pokéballs. "Go Arbok, Go Lickitung!" James threw his own Pokéballs. "Go Weezing, Go Victreebel!" The four Pokémon appeared and-as usual-James spent the first couple of minutes of the battle getting Victreebel off his head. Misty, Tracey and Brock each took a Pokéball. "Go Geodude!" Shouted Brock. "Go Scyther!" Tracey shouted. "Go Staryu!" Shouted Misty. Amazingly, Psyduck didn't make an appearance. Ash looked downward. "Ready, Pikachu?" He asked. "Pika." Said Pikachu with a determined and sort of sly look. Jessie looked at their opponents. "Arbok, Poison Sting Attack!" Arbok lurched forward toward Pikachu. "Pikachu, Thunder Bolt!" Pikachu's electricity disintegrated Arbok's attack, and very nearly did the same to Arbok! "My turn, Jess!" James exclaimed. "Weezing, Sludge Attack, now!" Weezing turned toward the Pokémon. Brock thought a moment. "Geodude, Tackle it!" The tackle sent Weezing flying. Jessie growled. "Ok Lickitung, use your Wrap Attack!" Misty stepped forward as Lickitung launched its attack. "Staryu, Double Edge!" Once again, the Good' trainer's Pokémon rammed into Team Rocket's before it could attack. Now it was James that looked angry. "Alright Victreebel, Poison Powder Attack!" Tracey grinned. "Ready Scyther?" He asked quickly. "Scyther-Scy." His Pokémon replied, nodding. "Ok, dice them up with your Slash Attack!" Scyther hadn't battled in a while so it went a little overboard and combined a tackle with the Slash attack, sending Victreebel and the rest of Team Rocket flying into the sky. "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" They said as they disappeared. Tracey laughed. "Nice one Scyther, I was just wondering who was going to do that!" By this time it was approaching night so the trainers headed back to camp.
