Chapter 6: The Rescue

All of the Bat-sticks left as Cody and Pikachu lay motionless on the ground. Time was running out for the both of them.

Meanwhile, at the Search HQ, Joe was trying to find Cody and Pikachu. "We will try one more time with a heat-seeking airplane to try and find the both of them, since we are on our own and don't have all the help we used to, okay, Michael?" Joe asked. The mission of finding them alive was over, but they still wanted to find them. The only one really left was Joe. Michael was counting sprinkles on all the doughnuts in the doughnut tray. 'Moron,' Joe thought as he watched Michael write down the number of sprinkles on each doughnut. Joe was a fantastic pilot, so he piloted the search airplane. He had piloted Viridian City with no luck. Then, he went into the Viridian Forest and detected something in the shape of a boy and a Pikachu. "That's them! I've found them!" Joe said happily. Joe went through the cave and carried the both of them to the airplane. Joe took them directly to the Viridian Hospital. The doctor checked both of their pulses. Cody seemed okay. However, Pikachu's heart wasn't beating. Cody's Pikachu was dead! Joe sighed and said, "I will come back tomorrow to check on Cody, okay?" He said it in a saddened voice because he wasn't able to save the both of them. Joe went back to the Search HQ, where there was a dreadful surprise waiting for him. There, he found Michael's almost- lifeless body in a pool of blood on the floor with one large stab wound and two bullet wounds. "4,216 sprinkles." Michael said in a very weak voice as his heart stopped. Michael had died from his wounds.
