HopHopHop Pokémon Center

Nurse Joy takes Ash, Misty, Brock, Pikachu, and Officer Jenny to the infirmary, so they can see the sick Pokémon: Cubone, Oddish, and Magikarp are completely lethargic; the flame on Charmander's tail is about to fade out, and Psyduck is the sickest of them all.

The mystery deepens when Joy tells them that the Pokémon started to get sick three days ago, which is exactly when the children disappeared. Then, Jenny's portable sleep wavelength detector starts buzzing; they deduce that all these events are connected.

The worried mother startles everyone when she tells them that Arnold is not the only one missing; there are more children around town that have disappeared without leaving a trace. Is HopHopHop Town a dangerous place for children?
