Liz felt numb. Her head hurt, and it was very hot. She sat up slowly, as it got hotter. Liz could barely see anything. There was a loud crackling noise all around. She must have been having a dream, because she now felt very, very tired. Her head dipped; it seemed to weigh a ton. She reached up to her head and could feel something sticky and warm. Suddenly the room spun wildly, and she let her body drop back to the floor.

Pikachu pushed on Vulpix, trying to rouse him. Persian seemed to be coming around. He stood up through a pile of rubble that had fallen on him.

"PIIIKAA!! Get up! Fire! FIRE!!"

"Vul? Fire?" Vulpix said in a daze. One sight of the white-hot flames and he was wide awake.

"MEW! What was that. . . that explosion?!"

"It was an explosion! How should I know?!" Pikachu spat. "Come on, the ceiling's caving in!"

"Wait," Persian huffed. He perked his ears. "Where is everyone? Where's the kid?"

Pikachu and Vulpix swiveled their ears, listening for any sound over the spreading fire's hiss. There was a faint murmuring on the other side of the nearly fire-consumed room, under a pile of chairs. "Jacob!" Persian mewed. A few small pieces of the ceiling fell around the pile of chairs. The ceiling was ready to collapse. Persian's face filled with alarm. He dashed on the narrow path not consumed in fire and began to paw furiously through the tangled mess of what used to be lobby chairs. Jacob was underneath, without a scratch on him, looking fretful. Persian snatched up the boy, still in his little pouch, and ran back for the other Pokemon.

"We've got to get out of here!" Pikachu squealed. But as they looked around, they realized there was nowhere to go. They had been completely surrounded by the fire, and the ceiling was coming down all around them. Persian jumped as another piece of ceiling fell right next to him.

"Hey!" Persian mumbled, his teeth still holding the boy. "The ceiling!"

"Vul-pix! We know! It's falling!"

"No," Pikachu thought aloud, catching on, "We could get out through a hole in the ceiling!"

"But the ceiling is very high!" Vulpix said.

"Just watch," Pikachu assured. Pikachu's cheeks sparked with electricity. He let loose a thunderbolt, striking the ceiling. When he stopped, it collapsed, making a pile of rock on the floor. "Pika! Exit, stage left!"

Vulpix jumped from the top of the pile of ceiling first, getting through the hole. Pikachu went next, followed by Persian, who needed a little assistance. "Now let's get offa here," Pikachu ordered, "before the whole thing collapses!!"

Together the Pokemon managed to climb off the roof, landing behind the building. Yuri stood there, watching them. They had the baby, the baby that should have been hers. "It will be mine," she said, walking up to the pokemon.

"Hey! Are you all okay?" she cooed. Persian looked over to her.

`Dr. Sanura?!' he thought. It had been so long… "Guys, she is a friend of mine! She'll get us back where we belong, mew!"

"Persian, do you remember me? It's Yuri! Come, let's get you away from this fire!"

The pokemon followed her out of the alley and into Yuri's car. Yuri gunned the engine and sped off.

"Pika, are you sure we can trust her? She smells funny." Pikachu said.

"Sure! She will take us to Liz!" Percy replied.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Firefighters rushed in, grabbing Liz, Brock, and the photo guy. Misty was still conscious and ran out with them. Ash had been thrown out of a window by the explosion, but he was coming around. When Liz finally woke up, she was in hysterics. Where was the baby? Where was Percy? What had happened? The firefighters assured her they were doing everything they could.

After the fire was finally contained, a full search proved that the pokemon and Jacob were not there. Officer Jenny was explaining some footprints in the back of the building.

"They seem to match the types of pokemon you reported missing."

"But where did they go?! Where are they?!"

"Please, Mr. and Mrs. Boulderson, let me finish," Jenny said as she drew in a breath. "There were also some human footprints and suspicious tire tracks found…"
