"There you are." Yuko smiled in relief to see Tory.

"Yuko, what's going on?" Estelle asked.

"Come with me." Yuko replied.

"You got it." Vincent said.


Yuko soon led them into a shelter to get away from the invading and flying Pokemon who seemed to take other Pokemon away.

"This feels like a mission with the Loonatics." Akito commented.

"I know what you mean," Felicity agreed. "Only... Tech isn't here to get us out of this jelly."

"Jam..." Estelle corrected. "But yeah."

"Why are the Deoxys taking Pokemon?" Charity frowned.

"It's a Pokemon from outer space," Yuko informed. "Four years ago, a meteorite came down and struck the North Pole, and located inside of it was a completely unknown Pokemon. It was Professor Lund that gave that Pokemon the name 'Deoxys'. But then, almost immediately, Rayquaza emerged from The Ozone, and attacked Deoxys. Apparently, Rayquaza was threatened and thought Deoxys was invading its territory. Deoxys vanished deep into the sea."

"Whoa." Akito said.

"I don't get it, how can it be the same Deoxys?" Brock asked.

"After getting beaten by Rayquaza, Deoxys must've slowly been regenerated." Yuko guessed.

"It can regenerate?" Akito asked.

"That's right; it has astounding regenerating powers, and that's what Professor Lund and I have been studying all these years." Yuko replied.

"It sounds more like science-fiction," Rebecca commented. "This is something I'd love to research."

"Tech would too." Estelle said.

"I don't know this Tech, but he sounds amazing." Rebecca replied.

"He sure is." Akito said.

"You remind us a lot of him." Estelle smiled in memory.

"You sure do." Vincent nodded.

"I like him already." Rebecca giggled.

"And we know that he would like you." Akito said.

"So, all technology is down now?" Emi frowned. "Not even the Pokeballs will work."

"That's not good." Estelle said.

"How can we call on our Pokemon?" Kathryn frowned.

"I guess we can't." May replied.

"How does the city get electricity?" Emi asked Yuko.

"There's usually a generator outside, but I don't know if you can with what's going on with Deoxys." Yuko replied.

"Maybe Deoxys put up something to block out the wind." Akito said.

"You could try." Yuko replied.

"I better go out there," Akito offered. "That way no one gets hurt."

"Please be careful." Emi said.

"I will," Akito promised her. "Take care of the Pokemon."

Emi soon kissed him for luck. Akito blinked from the kiss, but enjoyed it as he soon left with Pupitar, slightly stumbling since he was suddenly weak in the ankles.

"Aw, he's in love~" Charity giggled.

"He sure is." Estelle smiled.


Akito shook his head and soon returned focus. "All right, now if I was a power generator, where would I be?" He then asked himself. He began to think of where they would have the generator.

Pupitar stayed close beside Akito as they explored, and they made sure to not be spotted by any Deoxys clones. Pupitar and Akito looked around. After looking around, they kept going.

"I feel like we're going in circles." Pupitar said to his trainer.

"Now, now, I'm sure it's around here somewhere." Akito smiled nervously.

"You don't know where we're going, do you?" Pupitar asked.

Akito soon sighed. "I think we're lost."

"Maybe we should have asked Yuko where the generator was." Pupitar said.

"Ugh, I feel so dumb right now." Akito groaned before hitting his head over and over on something right behind them.

"Um, Dad, whose shadow is that?" Pupitar asked as he saw what the shape of the shadow was.

"Huh?" Akito asked before taking a look.

They soon saw that it was one of the clones. Akito and Pupitar looked nervous at first since the Deoxys clones had been taking Pokemon. Akito then glared as he protectively stood in front of his Pupitar. The clones soon took both Akito and Pupitar.

"Hey, let me go!" Akito glared as he struggled.

The clones soon went off with Akito and Pupitar as their hostages.

"Wait, Dad, maybe we should let them take us." Pupitar said.

"What?" Akito asked.

"This might be a good thing," Pupitar replied. "Yeah, the others will worry about us, but this might help us."

"Huh... I guess you have a point." Akito had to admit.

"I guess you're rubbing off on me." Pupitar smiled.

Akito chuckled. "All right, we'll stay here for right now, but you better be right."

"I'm sure of it." Pupitar said.


Back with the others...

"Akito and Pupitar have been gone a long time." Emi frowned out of worry.

"Maybe you should have told them where the generator was." Estelle told Yuko.

Something was soon coming from the vent.

"Akito?" Emi aksed hopefully.

Ash came to the vent and opened it only to see it wasn't Akito or Pupitar. "Munchlax?!"

"Hey, guys, you got food?" Munchlax asked before finding sandwiches from the Audrey and Kathryn.

"Does this Pokemon ever think of anything other than food?" Vincent asked.

"Probably not." Charity groaned herself.

"Munchlax, how did you get past the Deoxys?" Estelle asked.

"I saw a door leading away so I snuck in and followed the scent of food." Munchlax yawned lazily.

"Ohh." Estelle said.

"I'm starved." Munchlax said as he took sandwiches from the girl twins and ate them without permission.

"Oh, that's going to have bad results." Vincent groaned.

"Hey, those are our sandwiches!" Audrey and Kathryn glared at Munchlax.

"So yummy." Munchlax smiled.

"Munchlax, those weren't yours to eat!" Emi told him.

"Oops, sorry." Munchlax replied.

"What should we do now?" Teddy asked.

"I suppose you could all get out through the back," Yuko suggested. "But be very careful, especially with Tory, he's my responsibility whenever Professor Lund isn't around."

"You got it." Estelle said.

Yuko stayed put for right now and they all went out through the secret exit.


"We have to find food and water right away." Brock told the others.

"That should be easy." Estelle said.

"Yuko, take care of my sisters, please." Rafe told the older woman as she stood with Audrey and Kathryn.

"Of course, but don't you worry about us," Yuko replied. "Take care of yourselves."

"We will." Vincent promised as Minun and Plussle came beside Yuko.

'Here we go.' Estelle thought to herself.

"All right, let's go," Ash said. "Emi, are you going to be okay?"

"I'm just so worried about Akito." Emi sighed shakily.

"I'm sure he's fine." Ash said.

"I hope he is..." Emi replied as she held her heart as it seemed to ache for her love to Akito.

"I'm sure if he was in any danger, I would know," Estelle said. "Akito and I are twins, it's like my brain gets phone calls from him."

Teddy nodded in agreement. Everyone soon split up to get to work as Charity decided to stay with Max since he was already staying with May.

"I feel so full right now..." Munchlax snored as he soon fell asleep with a full stomach.

"Seriously?" Charity asked.

Absol even face-pawed about Munchlax.

"I'm worried, Max," May told her younger brother. "I really hope they're all okay."

"Yeah, me too," Audrey agreed as she nuzzled against Minun. "I really wish they'd hurry and come back."

"I'm sure they're fine." Charity said.

Plussle and Minun soon ran off together through the vent that Munchlax came through.

"Where are they going?" Absol asked.


With the others...

Tory tried to use his passport on a hot dog machine, but it wouldn't budge. "Still no good," he told the others with him. "Nothing's happening."

"Hmm... Maybe we could give it a good charge." Emi said.

"May I be of some service?" Pikachu asked Emi.

"Of course, sweetie." Emi smiled.

"Okay, here I go." Pikachu replied before taking a deep breath and shocked the hot dog machine.

It took a few moments, but the hot dog machine seemed to be up and running again.

"It worked!" Tory beamed.

The hot dog machine began shoot out hot dogs.

"Whoa!" Brock chuckled. "Gotta catch 'em all."

"Can I have a hot dog, guys?" Pikachu smiled.

"Sure." Emi smiled back.

Pikachu soon giggled as he got to have his own hot dog, but stopped as he felt a disturbance. "An intruder!" he then glared slightly.

"What is it, Pikachu?" Ash asked his Pokemon as he grabbed some hot dogs.


Soon enough, Deoxys clones flew in toward them.

"Oh, come on, seriously?!" Estelle complained.

They soon all ran away to avoid the Pokemon clones while splitting up into two groups.

"Get away from us!" Pikachu cried out as he ran with Ash and Emi.

"Please!" Teddy begged.

Minun soon tried to shoot against on clone.

"Plussle, Minun!" Tory called out to the Pokemon.

"Tory!" Plussle and Minun replied before going toward the boy only for Plussle to be taken.

"Let me go!" Plussle told the Deoxys clone.

Ash and Brock soon caught onto the clone.

"Guys!" Emi yelped.

"Put them DOWN!" Pikachu snapped as he tried to shock the clone.

The Deoxys clone soon let go of all of them and they landed on the ground safely.

"Whew." Teddy sighed.

The Deoxys clones then tried to take Tory and Minun.

"NOOOO!" Tory cried out as the clone soon took Minun away.

"TORY!" Minun cried back as he looked sad to leave Tory and Plussle.

"Let him go!" Teddy cried as he tried to use Bulldozer on the Deoxys clones.

"Minun, come back!" Plussle cried out.

"Oh, this is so sad..." Estelle pouted.

"This isn't fair." Teddy whimpered as a tears formed.

"Oh, Teddy, don't be sad..." Estelle frowned as she came to hug her little Teddiursa.

"They took away Minun..." Teddy sniffled. "I tried to help him, Mama, I really tried!"

"I know, I know." Estelle comforted her little Teddiursa.

"Aw, poor Teddiursa..." Emi cooed. "Don't be sad, Teddy."

"It's just not fair!" Teddy pouted sadly.

"Um, guys?" Vulpix spoke up once he saw more clones coming.

"Oh, dear." Estelle trembled.

"Run!" Vincent yelped.

They all ran off.


"Where do we hide?!" Teddy yelped as he clung to Estelle as they ran as he looked a little scared and nervous of the Deoxys clones.

"Anywhere!" Estelle panicked. "Guys?!"

One Deoxys grabbed a hold of the hot dog container before flying off while the others scattered across the skies. Ash took Tory's hand as he led one way for all of them to hide away.

'Please let this work.' Emi thought to herself.

A Deoxys clone looked all around for the others, but flew off with the others.

Ash took a look out the window and smiled in relief. "Looks like they're about gone."

"That was close." Brock added.

"Minun..." Plussle sadly hung his head.

Tory felt terrible for Plussle. He began to reach out for the Pokemon, only to find himself unable to, though he felt terrible.

"It's okay, Plussle!" Pikachu smiled. "We'll get Minun back, I know we will!"

"Yeah!" Teddy added.

"Hey, guys!" Brock called out as he found an open box. "Look what I found!"

Ash and Emi came to see several bottles of water.

"All right!" Ash smiled to Brock.

"Wahoo!" Vincent smiled too.


Meanwhile, Minun was being carried off to where Pupitar and Akito had ended up.

"Okay, so that's where they're keeping everyone captive." Rafe told Rebecca as she worked on her computer.

"I guess, but what in the world for?" Rebecca replied.

"Not sure." Charity said.

The hot dog machine begged to be released, but the Deoxys clone ignored its request before powering down and being dropped into the water.

"It let go!" Rafe gasped.

"But why?" Rebecca pondered.

"That is what we find out." Charity decided as she pet Absol.

"Maybe it drained its power?" Absol guessed.

"Hmm... There must be a way around this..." Timber paused to think.
