"Ugh." said Ash as he waited for the Doctor to return. "Where is the Doctor?! We've been waiting forever!"

"Pika-pi." Pikachu said in a calm voice.

"I have no idea what you just said, but you said it in a calm voice, so I refuse to agree with it!" Ash shouted.

Pikachu facepalmed, then sighed. "Pika-piii…"

Suddenly, the Doctor came fluttering towards Ash and Pikachu, with Misty dragging an unconscious body close behind.

"Hi Ash, hi Pikachu." said the Doctor. "This is Misty." He pointed towards Misty with his grassy hand.

"Um, hello." Misty said.

"Hi." said Ash.

"Pika." said Pikachu.

"So," Misty said. "Where's that TARDIS thing, Doctor?"

The Doctor pointed down the brick road to a blue phone box with shattered windows. "That's the TARDIS." he said.

"There's smoke coming out of it!" Misty shouted.

"I know, but she's repairing herself, so DON'T WORRY!" the Doctor exclaimed.

"Is that guy… dead?" Ash said, looking at the Team Rocket goon.

"No, no, nooo. He's just knocked out." said the Doctor. "We're gonna put him in the TARDIS as soon as she repairs.

"Sooo… am I gonna go have my gym battle now?" Ash asked.

"Not yet, but soon, soon." The Doctor said.

"Why not?" Ash whined.

"Because," the Doctor smiled as he began. "we are looking for Team Rocket!"
