"I can't feel my body," Kyle responded. "But other than that, I'm fine. No worries, or stress... I kind of like it here."

[X_Hero]

"Really? Hmm..." Karizo said as he looked back towards the lake. "Well, the thing is that this is the second dream that I've had... The first was me standing on the surface of lots of water, and I wound up submerged by some giant storm... This one, I was under the water again, and I swam down here... This entire cave is underwater, and there's a lake up ahead... The thing is that there's some sort of weird glowing pearl in the center of it..."

[THEBIRD]

"Try touching the pearl," Jake suggested. "Maybe it will help clarify the situation."

[X_Hero]

Karizo just looked back at the pearl.

"Either that... Or..." Karizo said as he began to think. He got back up, and Karizo began to walk back towards the lake. He stopped at the edge of the water again and thought some more. Finally, Karizo began to walk again, but he was walking on the surface of the water. As he came closer to the middle of the lake, he kept his eye on the strange pearl. When he bent down towards it, he suddenly got the feeling that he did when he had seen the Suicune in the previous dream. He paused, but then immediately continued to reach until one finger touched it. One word reverberated through the whole cave.

"Cure..."

Without warning, Karizo suddenly vanished.

Karizo surprisingly shot up from where he was laying with a shout. He had finally woken up, his breath panicked.

[Wolfpika]

Spike was about to fall asleep when he heard a sharp intake of breath from the other room. He walked out and found the other guy that was unconscious sitting up, awake.

"Hey guys! Karizo's back!"

[Dr.Hobo2]

"Huh? Oh good." Matt said waking up from being half asleep. "So now that means there's only Kyle to worry about."

[X_Hero]

"I was just talking with him and Jake while I was under..." Karizo began. "It seems that Kyle can't feel his body."

[THEBIRD]

Jake pulled himself out as Karizo woke up. 'I'll have to check up on the doc later... First things first.' Jake walked over to Karizo. "You okay, man? Did you hear what that pearl thing said? 'Cure'. Wonder what it means..." 'The answer couldn't be in the pearl could it? Maybe... Maybe we need to find that location in real life, not just in a dream, and find the real pearl. Maybe that's the answer.'

[Dr.Hobo2]

"Pearl? Cure?...What?" Matt said completely confused.

[X_Hero]

"Well, while I was in that dream..." Karizo started to explain. "We were in this large underwater cave with a lake and this weird glowing pearl just floating in the center. When I touched it, it just said 'Cure...'"

[Dr.Hobo2]

"Hm...I see." Hm...underwater cave. Matt stood there thinking for a while. "...Cure...Well, maybe we should try and find it. I have a feeling that if Team Magma or Aqua knew about this pearl, they'd try and get it."

[X_Hero]

"I was beginning to think the same thing..." Karizo mentioned. "Well, we can't do anything tonight... And I need to head back to Fortree to see if everything is still all right tomorrow... I'm worried about my mother and my sister."

[Dr.Hobo2]

"Oh yeah, I said I was going to come with you, didn't I?" Matt said. "And if I wasn't, I might as well go with you since I'll be headed toward Mt. Pyre first thing in the morning tomorrow."

Alex stood up, A little unsteady on his feet. He managed with some difficulty to make his way up the stairs and out of the basement.

[Dr.Hobo2]

Matt saw Alex coming out of the basement. "Ah, hello." He said. "Hey, I have a question. Did you see a guy leave the basement before anybody else did?"
