Ash, Misty, and Brock walked along a dusty road. Trees covered every side and it was eerily quiet. The sun began to set behind the trees making the sky look like fire. "Hey, uh Brock?" Ash asked. There was a little bit of worry in his voice. "Huh? Uh, yeah Ash?" Ash could tell that Brock was sacred a bit too, but for some reason Misty looked just fine. Ash shrugged it off a girl thing. "Where's the next city?" "It called Daylan town. It's suppose to never be night there, because it's run non-stop electric Pokémon. It should be just ahead." "That's funny." Misty said. "I don't see anything." "Yeah." Ash agreed. "Pikachu." Said Pikachu "Well, I'm getting tired. Can't we just camp here for the night?" Misty whined. "Sure why not." Brock said. In an instant Brock was in his sleeping bag and snoring loudly. Misty and Ash developed sweat drops on the back of there heads, and groaned. While Ash was setting up his bag Pikachu tugged on his shirt. "Huh? What is it Pikachu?" "Pika, pika, pi, pikachu" Pikachu pointed to a grove of trees. The bushes rustled. Ash jumped back. Glowing eye watched from a small hole in the bush. They watched Ash carefully. Pikachu clutched Ash. Ash slowly approached the eyes. They blinked and then disappeared. "Hey wait a minute." Ash called loudly. "Where are you going?" He saw a shadowy figure run away. He sat back. "Wonder what that was?" he asked himself. Then a shoe hit him on the back of his head. "Ouch! that hurt!" he exclaimed and turned to a fuming Misty. "Be lucky, Ash, that I didn't achieve what I set out to do." Misty yelled waking Brock. Bags under her eyes showed how tired she was. And when she was tired, she was cranky. VERY cranky. "What did you want to do?" "I really wanted to knock you out and kill a few brain cells at the same time." "Will you two quite down!" Brock called to them. Then the fire went out.

"Aahh." Brock stretched out. "That was a good night's rest. A bit chilly since the fire blew out. How about you guys?" he looked over at Misty and Ash. Misty still had bags under her eyes and her hair was in worse shape then usual. Ash was worn out and his back was hunched because he had fallen asleep on a rock. Pikachu was tense and cross. Psyduck decided to come out of it's pokéball. Misty was too tired to yell at it. Instead she just sighed. Psyduck went to talk to Pikachu and got an electric shock that sent Psyduck back into it's pokéball. "Um....., maybe we should walk it off. There's a stream near here." Brock began to walk while Ash, Misty, and Pikachu followed like zombies. By the time they got done washing up everyone was back to their old self and headed towards Daylan town.

"Look at this place. I hear it's suppose to be full of electric Pokémon." " In Daylan there is always light because it's run on electrical Pokémon." "So how do we get a hold of all those Pokémon?" "If we can find the main electric Pokémon and capture then the whole city will get dark." "Da... da...dark?" "Why?" "We can hold the main Pokémon for ransom, and get a ton of money." "But,..... bu..... but I hate the dark!!" "Shut up James." Jesse hit James over the head. Meowth stopped them. "So that's the plan. Now all we gotta do is find the main power building and capture that Pokémon."

"Wow look at this place." Ash stared at the tall buildings. "It's huge. I'd say it's the biggest town ever." "Not really Ash." This town is actually one of the smaller towns. Compared to all the other towns, this is just a village." Brock informed them, his head buried into a travel book. "You mean there's other towns bigger then this?" "Yup." "Gee." Ash remarked. "Well, enough chit chat. I want to catch some Pokémon. C'mon!" ash ran around the corner. "Ash wait up!" Brock yelled. "C'mon Pikachu, lets go find us some-ooff" Ash ran into a young police officer. Pikachu gave Ash a "Small" electric shock to revive him. "AAhh, Pikachu. Next time you try to wake me up give me a shake. "Pikachu." Pikachu nodded. "Sorry. I didn't see you there." the officer said. "Hey......." Ash thought a little. "Which officer Jenny are YOU related to?" "I'm the sixth cousin of the Jenny in Neon Town. The only difference is that I'm a little less tense." "Ohhh." Ash remarked. "Hey ash there you are." Brock said. "Look, It's another Jenny." Misty said. "Ahh, she's beautiful..." Brock turned red. "Oh brother not again." Mist sighed. "Um, Officer Jenny. Why such the rush?" Ash asked as he picked himself up. "Well our main source of power, a small Pikachu, was Pokémon-napped about three hours ago. At first we thought that he ran away, but when strange characters showed up on the outskirts of town with a Pikachu I was called in to take a look." Jenny observed them. "And it looks like I found them." "Huh. Where?" Ash looked around. Jenny slapped handcuffs on Ash, Misty, and Brock. "You are under arrest for Pokémon-napping." She replied.
