ash:  We almost have a fix. <inserts two disks>  Computer. show 3-d maps for The  
building where Misty is. <shows the map of a cave.>  Pyrite cave that is weird.

Mr. waterflower: enough! now, tell me what your plan Dealing with The Mt. battle  
tournament! 
 
ash: cool down. We  will have to split up to keep them on the move.  Noir, you  
go investigate the under and Deep under. Gary, you search The research Lab.   
tom, you stay here and be a sort of an operator. 
 
Tom: Why? 
 
ash: so that our positions are not easily given away. I will go to pyrite town  
and rescue Misty, that leaves... 
 
Mr. Waterflower:  Me, Where am i to go? 
 
ash:<hands a pass, a package, and a note to mr. waterflower> you will  
investigate Mt. battle.  
 
Mr. Waterflower: so you are giving up a chance to be in a tournament to save  
someone? 'i definitely made the right choice letting Him date my daughter.'  ok  
you got you assignment. now let's get Misty back. 
 
<i Know i focussed a lot on the rescue mission, but now let's see what Misty was  
doing all this time.> 
 
Evice: so how about you forget all about ash and i release you. 
 
Misty: never, ash will find me. 
 
Evice: i seriously doubt that you see the ship the "space pidgey" has left the  
airfield where it was stationed. your Boyfriend has deserted you. 
 
Misty: ash will be back. i know it. 
 
Evice: whatever <turns to a guard.> New guy, guard the prisoner. 
  
Guard: yes sir. <a few minutes later.> now the coast is clear. < Starts to untie  
Misty.> 
 
Misty: what are you doing? 
 
Brock: rescuing you.  Will is en-route. so i thought i would help by going and  
moving your position < hands her a backpack.> there is the quarters. go change.   
 
Misty: thanks Brock. < heads into the room. moments later Evice approaches. > 
 
Evice: What's happening ensign? you should be guarding the prisoner. 
 
Brock: i am but she said that she needed to go to the bathroom.  and this is the  
closest i can get with my security clearance. 
 
Evice:  very well, carry on <leaves.> 
 
Brock:' that was close.' <a few minutes later> 
 
Misty: so how do i look? 
 
Brock: very nice.  if you were not on a date with ash i might ask you out. 
 
Misty: well you might get the chance soon. I have been thinking, and i think  
Evice wasn't lying about ash deserting me. 
 
Brock: don't say that.  Gary, ash, and i were in the lobby when he called your  
father about your capture.  he probably sent the ship to pick him up. 
 
Misty: are you sure? 
 
Brock: Who do you want to give you the answer that? Your father, Tom, or ash  
himself. 
 
Misty: I would like to hear from ash. 
 
Brock: fine. <dials up ash on his Pokemon Handheld Organizer.> Hey ash this is  
Brock. 
 
ash: hey Brock, i have just gotten into Pyrite.  My GPS shows you coming to the  
entrance of the the Pyrite Building. whats wrong? 
 
Brock: nothing i just thought you would want to save as much time as possible so  
you could get to the Tournament as quickly as possible. <hands the PHO to  
Misty.> 
 
ash: how many tomes do i have to tell you. i gave my spot to Mr. waterflower so  
that he check out Mt. battle. you know that i am doing everything possible to  
ensure Misty is safe. <looks at the monitor.> Misty is that you? 
 
Misty: sure is. and i heard everything.  Why did you leave? 
 
ash: i did not leave. i had sent the Space pidgey with a robot pilot to pick up  
your father. < hangs up, opens the door. > now we have a motorcycle waiting to  
take us back to the Phenac Hotel. 
 
Misty: thanks. i really thought you had deserted me. 
 
Ash: Do you think i would have let you slip away?  Misty if you thought i would   
let you go then you are crazier than i thought. 
 
Misty: well is that so? looks like you have not grown up a day since i first met  
you. 
 
<inside the building.> 
 
Evice: grunt! were are you?  < dials up Giovanni.> Sir. 
 
Giovanni: i assume that you have good news to report to me. 
 
Evice: sorry sir, the new grunt you hired for me has disappeared. along with the  
Prisoner. 
 
Giovanni: What!?!?! i can't believe you, you let a newbie guard someone who  
should have been constantly watched by you? 
 
Evice: i wanted to get myself some lunch.  
 
Giovanni: you should have sent the grunt to do that! 
 
Evice: listen!  he looked trustworthy.  now what are my orders. 
 
Giovanni: The girl seems to be troublesome. i want them both. Alive For the boy,  
Dead or alive for the girl. 
 
Evice: why do you want the crust alive? 
 
Giovanni: he is the only one who knows where the Pokeball is. 
 
Evice: Fine, i will keep the boy alive, but if he resists, i will shoot him  
point blank.  end transmission <the screen blackens.>
