In the outskirts of [[Pallet Town]], a young {{adv|Yellow|stranger}} riding on a {{p|Doduo}} calls to some local children. Sketching a picture, the stranger asks if anyone has seen a certain {{p|Pikachu}}.


In [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], {{adv|Professor Oak}} puts [[Pika]] in the restoration machine, and then he and [[Misty]] mull the situation. With the challenger's name listed as [[Bruno]], the Professor concludes that Bruno must have defeated {{adv|Red}}, but it doesn't account for why Pika returned with severe injuries, and without Red to boot. Declaring a situation, Professor Oak asks Misty to contact the other [[Gym Leader]]s for assistance while he calls for help from everyone he knows, when suddenly stranger on the Doduo enters. To Oak's surprise, not only does the child know that Pika is there, but Pika seems to know the stranger as well.
In [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], {{adv|Professor Oak}} lifts up the severely wounded [[Pika]] in his arms and frantically tries to ask him about what happened to {{adv|Red}} and his other Pokémon. [[Misty]], still on call, reminds him of the severity of Pika's condition and he rushes to place Pika inside a restoration machine. Considering the letter that Red has received, they conclude he must have been defeated by the Trainer who sent it, being someone by the name of [[Bruno]]. They both struggle to believe that anyone could beat Red, but Professor Oak can't think of any other explanation for Red's absence and Pika's condition. He decides to ask everyone he knows for help, and asks Misty to do the same with all the other [[Gym Leader]]s.
 
Suddenly, the stranger from earlier enters the Laboratory, still riding Doduo. Greeting a confused Professor Oak, they dismount Doduo and quickly begin glancing around the building, as Oak nervously asks if they could come back another time. Spotting the restoration machine, the stranger's face lights up upon seeing Pika in his [[Poké Ball]], and releases him from the machine into his arms, happy that what he had been told about Pika returning back to Pallet Town is true. Professor Oak enters a rage, sputtering questions about the stranger's assertiveness, but enters a state of surprise after seeing that Pika is apparently familiar with him. They both begin to leave until the Professor stops them, finding out that the stranger knows Red, and also knew that he was missing. He also tries to find out who he is and how he knew Pika was in Pallet Town, but they are unwilling to answer.
 
Professor Oak begins to grow irritated again, before being interrupted, as the stranger clarifies his intent to find and rescue Red from whatever danger he might be in. The Professor is silent for a moment, and the two exchange glances, before he sends out his {{p|Spearow}} and has it use {{m|Fury Attack}}, declaring that if the stranger can't even prove his skills against him, he has no chance against whatever force took down Red, a [[Pokémon League]] [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]] who has been honing his skills for two years.
 
Responding with his Doduo, the stranger orders a {{m|Whirlwind}} that Spearow counters with {{m|Mirror Move}}, forcing the match into an apparent stalemate. Professor Oak ponders the situation, concluding that Red would have already figured out a way to break out of the Mirror Move. He begins to admonish the boy for his poor tactics, trying to get him to recognize that despite his good intent, he wouldn't be able to help Red.


As the stranger appears to leave with Pika, the Professor chases after him and questions him, becoming infuriated as the child refuses to answer, instead insisting that he will free Red from the unknown enemy holding him captive. Angered, Oak releases his {{p|Spearow}} and has it use {{m|Fury Attack}}, declaring that he would only entrust Red's survival to the child with proof of his skill, by ending this battle.
Suddenly, Doduo begins dashing in circles around its opponent, Spearow trying to stay face to face but ends up passing out from spinning around so much. Just before Spearow hits the ground, the stranger commands Pika to rescue it, and provides it with a safe landing. Professor Oak is left annoyed, remarking that you can't settle a battle just by making the opponent dizzy. The stranger laughs, and tells him to be glad that neither of the Pokémon got hurt. Suddenly struck by the thought, Oak is left to marvel at the battle that just took place, so carefully calculated and controlled that neither Pokémon was left with a single scratch on them. Impressed, he asks the boy to follow him, leading him to [[Player's house|Red's house]].  


Responding with his Doduo, the stranger orders a {{m|Whirlwind}} that Spearow counters with {{m|Mirror Move}}, forcing the match into an apparent stalemate. Noting the stranger's inability to break through, the Professor admonishes the boy for his overconfidence, declaring him incapable of rescuing Red. At this, the child has Doduo dash around Spearow, and amidst the spinning of the Whirlwind Spearow loses its balance, plummeting towards the ground to be caught safely by Pika at the boy's command. Surprised, Professor Oak yells that making Spearow dizzy didn't count, but the stranger smilingly reminds him that there were no other conditions aside from him ending the battle, and tells Oak to be thankful no one got hurt. Indeed, Oak notices that the boy had battled with so much control neither Pokémon was even hurt slightly in the encounter, and Professor Oak decides to ask the stranger to follow him.
Professor Oak notices Red's [[Pokédex]] still at home, and berates the boy for leaving it behind. As the two stand quietly in Red's bedroom, Oak notes that the stranger somehow knew Red's nickname for Pika despite him never having said it in front of him, making obvious that he understands the connection between Red and his Pokémon despite his rudeness. Since Pika's instinct is to trust him, Oak has decided to trust him too, recognizing that despite the unknowns, he must truly be a friend of Red.  


At [[Player's house|Red's house]], the Professor is miffed to note that Red, in his usual arrogance, had left his [[Pokédex]] behind. Oak informs the boy that while he doesn't like the way he refused all earlier queries or the way he rudely barged in, the fact remains that he shares an understanding with Pika. Declaring that as Pika chooses to trust him, he will too. Then Professor Oaks gives the boy Red's Pokédex, entrusting it and Pika under his care.
Entrusting the boy with Red's Pokédex, Oak sends him on his way. As they cheerfully walk off, Oak quietly wonders to himself, was Pika was suddenly restored to full health after being touched by that boy, or was it was just in his imagination?


As the stranger leaves with Pika, the Professor is left with one niggling thought: did Pika heal when the young boy touched it or was it all imagination?

In the outskirts of Pallet Town, a young stranger riding on a Doduo calls to some local children. Sketching a picture, the stranger asks if anyone has seen a certain Pikachu.

In Professor Oak's Laboratory, Professor Oak lifts up the severely wounded Pika in his arms and frantically tries to ask him about what happened to Red and his other Pokémon. Misty, still on call, reminds him of the severity of Pika's condition and he rushes to place Pika inside a restoration machine. Considering the letter that Red has received, they conclude he must have been defeated by the Trainer who sent it, being someone by the name of Bruno. They both struggle to believe that anyone could beat Red, but Professor Oak can't think of any other explanation for Red's absence and Pika's condition. He decides to ask everyone he knows for help, and asks Misty to do the same with all the other Gym Leaders.
