Frustrated, it runs into the forest with Ash and Pikachu in pursuit. But when they're confronted by an angry swarm of Beedrill, they're injured trying to escape, and Ash and Pikachu fall into a river and are separated. After being washed downstream, Pikachu is rescued by Spenser, the wise old Frontier Brain of the Battle Palace. Meanwhile, an injured Ash and Sceptile continue their search for Pikachu, only to get attacked again by the Beedrill. They're finally rescued by Spenser and Pikachu, along with Brock, May, Max, and Scott, who have joined up with them during their search. After a long, hard day, Ash asks Spenser if he can challenge him to a battle tomorrow, and he agrees, leaving our heroes to a good night's sleep! See less
