The trip back to Celadon City was quicker during the day and this time there weren't any ghost Pokémon or underground battles to slow them down. Ash and Pikachu climbed the staircase at the end of the tunnel and stepped out into the daylight. Celadon City was much more alive today than it had been the previous evening. Cars sped up and down the busy streets and there were trainers out with their Pokémon everywhere he looked. Ash and Pikachu ran through the city and back towards the mountain path.
The return trip back through the mountains seemed to be much quicker. As the path sloped downward Ash could once again see the Poke Center and various high-rise buildings of New City. Ash finally reached the foot of the hill and headed straight back to the Poke Center. Once inside he walked over to the desk and presented Nurse Joy with the awakening supply he had purchased. As Joy reimbursed Ash for the medical supplies the Poke Center door slid open and a team of four doctor's donning white coats and carrying metal suitcases walked in. The medical team from Fuchsia City had arrived.
Nurse Joy showed the team back to the observation room and explained to them all the situation. They started running tests on all of the Pokémon who had been displaying similar symptoms to Charizard. Ash returned to the waiting room and sat down next to Pikachu. He opened his bag and pulled out a small pouch of food to give to his buddy.
The front door slid open again and Officer Jenny rushed in. She ran straight over to Nurse Joy and was pointing at something outside. Ash focused on their conversation and thought he heard Jenny say "we have a lead". Ash quickly packed his backpack and followed Jenny outside and down the street.
Officer Jenny walked toward one of the nearby high-rise buildings. Ash followed at a distance and watched as Jenny entered the ground floor lobby. He stepped in the door and joined a small group of well dressed individuals stepping into the elevator behind Jenny. The elevator thundered upward it reached the penthouse. The elevator doors opened to an outdoor courtyard on the roof of the building. Directly in front of them was a mansion on to of the high-rise building. A wide stone path led from the elevator to the mansion. Several large fountains lined the sides of the path. Ash followed as Jenny and the small handful of well dressed individuals made their way toward the manor.
As they approached, the double front oak doors swung open welcoming the group into a large open room. There appeared to be a large party going on inside. Gentlemen in top hats and black suits sipped drinks from martini glasses as they chatted with ladies in ornate dresses. Ash looked around the room until he saw the odd scene in the center of the room. Several people and their Pokémon were sitting in chairs facing a small circular stage. A weird Pokémon sat on the stage swinging a pendulum from it's hand.
Ash pulled out his Pokedex and pointed it in the direction of the Pokémon: "Hypno, a Psychic Pokémon. When this Pokémon locks eyes with an enemy is uses a mix of Psi moves such as Hypnosis and Confusion."
"What is that Hypno doing here?" Jenny asked the gentleman next to it.
"Hello Officer," he said. "We are all here for a Hypnosis party."
"A hypnosis party?" Ash asked as he walked up to the group. "What for?"
"You see, everyone here has some sort of trouble focusing or sleeping. We have been using this Hypno to help us focus and relax."
"This could explain some of the strange behaviors we've seen with other nearby Pokémon", Ash muttered to himself.
The gentleman heard Ash and asked "Issues with nearby Pokémon?"
"Yes," Officer Jenny cut in. Pokémon all over the city and even in some surrounding areas have been displaying very strange behavior for the last couple days. It's almost as if they are in some sort of trance."
"Oh dear. That's too bad," the gentleman said.
"We're going to need you to cease your activities here," Jenny demanded of him.
"But Officer we have done nothing wrong. Our gathering will be over tonight."
"Stop your Hypno now or I will be forced to," Jenny said.
The gentleman once again assured her that their gathering would be over in a matter of hours. Jenny grabbed a Pokeball and tossed it in the center of the room. "Go Venusaur! Constrict Hypno now!"
Jenny's Venusaur burst out of it's Pokeball and its massive vines thrashed toward Hypno and wrapped around its midsection lifting it into the air. Hypno turned to face Venusaur while in the air and started swinging its pendulum in its direction. Psi waves came from Hypno and hit Venusaur. The vines holding Hypno 25ft in the air dropped as Venusaur fell asleep. Hypno fell and landed with a thud on the white tile floor. Both Pokémon lay motionless.
Kitkat16 (Hypno), a Mafia Confusion-er (Tailor), has been knocked out on day 7.
Brewersalliance (Venusaur), a town Constrict-er (Jailkeeper), has been knocked out on night 7.
It is now day 8.
