Tory came out of his unconsciousness by a dimly glowing light that was suspended in the air by a pendulum. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and looked at the gnome-like face with a long crooked nose staring at him. He jumped to his feet, startled by the scary face. He looked behind it and saw a pale, ghost like face. "Melanie?" Tory said. Tory realized that he was standing. It shocked him that he was because a Shellder snapped his leg before. He assumed Melanie healed it with one of her Pokemon.
"That is correct," she said. "My Hypno found you lying here, unconscious. So, I healed you with my Alakazam."
"Thanks," said Tory. "Did you find that Pokeball we were supposed to find?"
"No, but I have a feeling that it has already been found." She walked past Tory. "Come on, we need to get out of here before the Shellder come back."
"Wait, what about my Noctowl?" Tory looked around and didn't see his Exeggutor either. "And where is my Exeggutor?" He felt around the dimly lit pit and touched something cold. He waved for Hypno to come and light up the piece of ice. Tory saw his Noctowl in it, with its wings spread apart. Tory reached for a Pokeball and released Magcargo. "Magcargo, I need you to melt the ice." Magcargo blasted the ice with fire. Magcargo reduced the size of the ice by over half. Inside, Noctowl was twitching, trying to break the ice by itself. "That's good enough, Magcargo." Tory returned Magcargo to its Pokeball. The ice shattered and Noctowl fell to the ground in exhaustion. "I am proud of you, Noctowl." And he returned it to the Pokeball.
Tory turned around and asked, "Has anybody seen Exeggutor?" Tory began to search the pit.
"What does he look like?" asked Melanie.
"Like every other Exeggutor ever made," said Tory, sarcastically. Melanie flung up her hands and made a face. She started to look for Exeggutor too. They called his name over and over, but to no avail.
After a few minutes of searching, Melanie said that she found something. Tory ran over to her and saw that she had found Exeggutor, lying on its back. "Its must be really worn out from battling that Cloyster," he said. He reached for a Pokeball and Exeggutor disappeared into it. "Okay, I am ready to go." They climbed out of the pit and walked through the cave.
As they walked, the sound of rushing water was becoming louder and louder. They turned a corner and, at last, they found the source of the sound. A wide river was flowing through the cave at an extremely fast speed. Tory reached for a Pokeball and threw it onto the ground. His Surskit came out. "You think you can cross that river?" Surskit nodded.
Surskit jumped into the river and was quickly carried by the river. "Surskit!" Tory shouted, but Surskit quickly recovered and was gliding easily across the river. It was about half way across the river when the water bubbled and a Gyarados shot out from the water.
"Ah! Surskit, get out of there." But Surskit didn't appear to have heard Tory. The Gyarados dived for Surskit, but Surskit mover out of its way just in time. When Gyarados came up from the water, Surskit used Bubblebeam, but it didn't seem to affect Gyarados. Gyarados made a dive for Surskit again, and again Surskit glided out of its way. Surskit used Bubblebeam again, and got the Gyarados in the eyes. It roared and used Dragon breath. Surskit was hit, but Surskit was strong and continued to fight. Gyarados dived for Surskit again, and this time got it. It was trapped in Gyarados's mouth. "Surskit!" cried Tory.
The Gyarados glared at Tory and Melanie. Melanie remained calm. Tory went to reach for another Pokeball to save Surskit, but Melanie stopped him. "Look," she said, pointing at Gyarados. The Gyarados was gagging. It looked as if it was about to throw up. Tory watched it. The Gyarados opened its mouth and something flew out, but it was not Surskit. It seemed to be able to fly. "You're Surskit evolved into a Masquerain!" said Melanie. Tory looked at it in surprise.
Masquerain created a whirlwind that spun Gyarados around and around. Gyarados eventually got so dizzy, it fainted. It fell back underwater and created a huge splash that soaked Melanie and Tory. Masquerain flew back at Tory and he said, "Good job, I am so proud of you. But how are we going to get across the river now? You aren't strong enough to lift me in the air."
"Wait a minute," said Melanie. "The river obviously leads to somewhere. It may lead to the lake Henry dropped into." Before Tory could say something, she jumped in and was quickly taken away by the river. Tory, realizing he had no other choice but to jump in, and did so. And he, too, was quickly taken by the current.
