Ash looked over his shoulder at Lisa. They hadn't said anything since the incident.
They were back in the cabin. Lisa was writing in a notebook at a desk in the corner. Beside her, a Pokeball with the name "Atlantis" rested. A moment later, Lisa got up and put the notebook in a brown backpack, along with some clothes and a few pieces of paper.
"We should head out," she said, and walked out the door in the direction of the building with the Pokeballs. Ash got up off the floor in front of the fireplace and followed her out. He caught up with heart the buildings entrance. Lisa went inside and began to look at the different names on the Pokeballs.
"Ash," she said, "Come here and tell me which Pokemon you want."
Ash was surprised. "You're letting borrow a Pokemon?" "No. I'm letting you borrow a team of Pokemon until you get yours back."
Ash was confused. "But I've already got Pokemon! They're right here!"
He examined his belt where his Pokeballs were kept, but was shocked to find that they were gone. "My Pokemon!" he cried. "What happened to them?"
Lisa shook her head. "I don't know. Their disappearance probably has something to do with how you got hurt. For now, you can borrow some of mine. I've got plenty."
She took a Pokeball down from the wall. "How about Blastoise?" Ash nodded. "That'd be great. What about a Fire Pokemon?" Lisa looked at the Pokeballs. "Ummm… I have an Arcanine? Is that good?" Ash nodded. "Perfect."
By the time they were ready to go, Ash also had an Electrode, a Pidgeot, a Stantler, and a Marrowack. Lisa had taken her Clefairy, the Pokeball that said "Atlantis," a Quilava, a Xatu named Criss, a Houndoom, and a Ditto. "We should be all set," she said as she headed to the woods. "Let's go find your friends!"
The two set out, completely unaware of whom was watching them.
