Chapter 4: The Sisters of Cerulean City, Part 1

Ash and Z were looking at their new pokemon when Pikachu's ears perked up. It yelled "PIKA-CHUUU" then plunged off into the depths of the cave, going at full Pokemon speed. As they sped along Z tripped over a Geodude and twisted her ankle. Ash was running too fast to notice, but Z still had her trump card. It was a Zubat. As it screeched, ready to do battle Z told it to go get Mew. As it took off Z clarified, telling it to stay here and screech, so Mew would hear. As it did Z called out Clefairy, and had it use Metronome, figuring that whatever it did do it couldn't hurt. Boy, was she wrong. Clefairy's metronome made it use Selfdestruct, and as it did, it caused a cave in. Z, and her Pokemon, were trapped.
As she sat there the atmosphere bcame first oppresive, then foul. Finally the air became so thick Z could barely breathe. Then, just before she fainted, an Onix dug into the little cave she sat in, bringing a welcome breath of fresh air. As Z climbed over the Onix she recalled her still-screeching Zubat, and sighed in relief. Then she realized that that was Brock's Onix, and if so, where was Brock? Then she sighed once again, for there was Brock. He recalled Onix, and sat down, as he gave a quick explanation as to why he was here, "I was just sitting in my gym, when I heard a faint rumbling, and realized that there must have been a cave in in the mountain. As soon as I heard it, I had a strange feeling that I should bring Onix and go to Mount Moon. And one thing led to another, until I heard a Zubat screeching a message and had Onix dig you out." Brock went on to say that he would like coming along with Z and Ash on their journey. Z replied that yes, it was fine with her if ! he came along.

Meanwhile.....
Ash and Mew finally caught Pikachu, because Mew paralyzed Pikachu with Glare. As Pikachu explained it's rush Ash realized that Z was not there. Then he remembered the rumbling noise and realized that Z must have been caught in a cave in. Ash immediately called out Nidorino, jumped on his back, and told Mew to lead them to the cave-in. As they reached the pile of rubble Mew blasted it apart with Psybeam, showering them with pebbles. As they did Onix popped out of it's Poke ball, sheltering Z and Brock from the shower of rock. When the dust cleared Z called, "What took you so long?"
