Meanwhile, {{Ash}} is also arriving in Littleroot Town but all he can think about is trying to heal {{AP|Pikachu}}. He wonders if there's a [[Pokémon Center]] in town, and hopes that [[Nurse Joy]] can inspect Pikachu to see if he's okay. On the upper deck, {{TRT}} hears the call for Littleroot Town. All are eager to enter this new land except for [[Jessie]], who reminisces about her past and subtly reveals that she has been to Littleroot Town before. She enters a depressed state, and as [[James]] presses for answers, Jessie doesn't elaborate. When the boat docks, Ash disembarks and asks the port attendant where the Pokémon Center is. He is saddened to learn that there is none in the small town. He is about to give up when he remembers Professor Birch, and wonders if he would be able to heal Pikachu. He calls Birch's lab, only to find that he is out doing fieldwork. {{OBP|Joshua|assistant}}, his assistant, tells Ash to stay where he is and that he will alert the Professor to the situation as soon as possible.

Ash waits on a bench, anxious for any word from the Professor. Out of the blue, Ash hears a screeching noise. He looks up to see Professor Birch in an SUV. Birch asks if Ash is the one who called about Pikachu, and he immediately responds. He carries Pikachu into the SUV and they speed off. Along the way back to the lab, Birch quickly diagnoses Pikachu with an electric overload, and Ash adds that he was [[EP274|strapped to Team Rocket's giant magnet]]. If the {{t|Electric}} Pokémon doesn't receive immediate attention, he might explode from all the energy. Their only hope is to drain all of it out of Pikachu. Once at the lab, the Professor attaches a machine to Pikachu's cheeks, while Joshua turns it on. However, Pikachu's electricity levels are so high, they cause the machine to explode. Pikachu escapes, and Ash runs after him. Upon finding out Ash isn't carrying any other Pokémon, Birch grabs the three [[starter Pokémon]] and runs after the young {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Joshua reminds Birch that the starters are supposed to be for May who is due to arrive that day, and Birch tells Joshua to ask May to wait until he gets back. As he explains this, Ash is desperately calling out and searching for Pikachu, but the Pokémon is nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile, May arrives at the lab. Joshua tells her that the Professor will be right back, but she ignores him and goes looking for Birch. She is unaware that he has fallen off a cliff and landed on top of a {{p|Poochyena}} while looking for Pikachu. After recovering, he apologizes to the Pokémon, but it just appears to get angrier. Two more Poochyena appear, and they all begin to growl at the Professor. He realizes that they're about to attack. Although initially proud of his knowledge, he soon realizes that their anger is directed at him, and runs away trying to escape from them.
