Ash was trapped in his nightmare again, but it felt so much more real. Pain swept through his body as he weakly tried to hold onto the pokemon's body. He felt himself slipping, but, just like every other time he'd had the dream, the other pokemon nosed him back on.

His eyes closed as he felt himself fading. He knew this was when he would wake up, but, for a reason he didn't realize, he didn't.

Meanwhile…

Yohana rode Entei swiftly out of the building, her pokemon all in their pokeballs on her belt. All of the prisoners had been rescued and were now running for freedom. Soon, all the former-prisoners were out of the building.

Entei turned his head back, shot out a column of fire, and roared. (Let it burn!)

Yohana turned back and gasped. "Entei!"

Entei didn't look at her as he continued running. (Don't say they don't deserve it, Yohana. All the innocents are out. Let the Rockets suffer.)

Yohana whimpered and looked away. At least Ash was safe.

Meanwhile…

Suicune and Raikou stopped in a meadow. Seeing Ash's condition, they roared at the local pokemon to bring them Pecha berries and step on it.

A Pidgey used its beak to stir the Pecha berries together and spoon it into the boy's mouth.

Suicune turned to Raikou. (He's still fading. We need Celebi.)

Raikou agreed. (I'll tell Yohana. She can call Celebi for us.) He roared loudly. (Yohana! We need Celebi! Now!)

Meanwhile…

Yohana heard Raikou's request and, using an amulet she'd gotten on her tenth birthday, summoned Celebi.

"Celebi! I need you to find Suicune and Raikou and help them! Hurry!" Yohana begged, knowing this was about Ash. "And tell them we'll meet them near Pallet Town!" (a/n Team Rocket's headquarters is in Viridian for those of you who don't know a/n)

Celebi hurried to the meadow where Suicune, Raikou, and Ash were and helped with the boy's healing, which took a couple of hours due to the extra complications caused by the poison.

She left shortly after the boy woke up, stating. (My work here is done.)

"Wha… what happened?" Ash mumbled."Wh… where am I?"

Raikou once again lifted the boy, who was alive but still somewhat weak, onto Suicune's back. (Come on. Let's meet up with Yohana and Entei.)

(Right.) Suicune agreed and they set off for Pallet Town.
