Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu can be seen walking through a large medow. Flowers of all colors surround them in every direction. Pikachu runs from flower to flower sniffing each one of them delighting in their sweet scents. Misty lets her mind drift into one of her romantic day dreams. Brock thinks about how nice it would be to have a girl with him in the feild. Ash, well Ash is still looking for pokémon. Various bird pokémon fly around but none of them are low enough to fight so he ignors them.

"Hey Ash why don't we stop here and take a lunch break." Misty says. "Pika." "That sounds like a good idea." Brock says. "I guess we can." Ash says. He is feeling very disappointed by the fact that he hasn't caught a pokémon since he caught muk months ago. "Why the long face Ash?" Brock asks his friend as he whips up some rice balls. "I haven't caught anything in months. I haven't earned any new badges either." Ash said as he poked at a few wild flowers that kept brushing aginst his leg everytime the wind blew. "Hey cheer up things could be worse. I mean look at it this way, we're all here in this beautiful meadow of flowers." Misty said. "Only a girl would say something like that." Ash said. Ash didn't want to admit it but he really thought that Misty had a point. The meadow was really beautiful and he was with his friends. "I don't know Ash this place is really kinda nice." Brock said. "See." Misty said. "Alright who's hungery?" Brock said as he held up a plate full of rice balls. "ME!" Misty and Ash said. They all ate enjoying the beauty of their surroundings in their own ways. When they were done they began to walk to the next town.

When they reached the next town they were all very tired and wanted to rest. Even Ash wanted to sleep instead of challenge the local gym leader. The next day Misty and Brock woke up bright and early. They went to the cafateria and ate breakfast. When Ash didn't show up they got worried. They went back to their room and saw Ash burried under his blanket. "Hey Ash wake up." Misty said as she pulled his blanket away from him. When she saw his face she regretted having bothered him. His face was covered in sweat and his breathing sounded labored. "Pika pi pi chu pika." "Oh man Ash looks terrible." Brock said. "He's burning up. Brock go call Nurse Joy, no wait I'll get her you watch Ash." Misty said as she remembered Brock's thing for every Nurse Joy. She runs down the hall to the main desk. "Oh, good morning. How are you?" Nurse Joy says in her cheer full voice. "Nurse Joy we have a problem. My friend Ash the uh younger guy that I came in with well he is very sick and I think he needs help." Misty said rather nervously. "Oh my, here I'll call the doctor down the road and Chansey will take care of your friend until the doctor can get here." Nurse Joy said. Misty ran back to their room and a Chansey wasn't too far behind her. "Chansey." the Chansey placed a cold ice pack on Ash's forehead and watched him. Pikachu sat close by not wanting to leave for fear of what might happen. "What do you think could have made Ash so sick?" Misty asked Brock as she sat down beside him on one of the bunks. "I don't know. What surprises me is that it hit him so suddenly." Brock said. "I don't know, he has been rather distant the past several days and he always looked like he was about to pass out." Misty said as she recounted the past two weeks that they had been traveling. "Hello?" a voice said. It was the doctor. He walked in to the room carring an old fashioned doctor's medical bag. "Oh doctor thank goodness that you could make it." Misty said as she greeted him. "Well normally I don't make house calls but I owe Nurse Joy. So what seems to be the problem?" the doctor said as he set up his supplies. "Our friend he's burning up." Misty said. "Alright let me take a look at him." the doctor said as he began to look over Brock. "Not me! Ash, him right over there!" Brock said as he pointed to Ash. "Oh right hehehe." the doctor said and began to look Ash over. At this point in time Ash is shivering from his fever. The doctor sticks one of those ear themometers in Ash's ear and takes his tempurature. When he reads the numbers he shakes his head. "What?" Misty and Brock ask. "He has a temp. of 103.9. We are going to have give him some of this medicine and keep a cold pack on his head for awhile. He needs lots of liquids and well he needs lots of rest." the doctor said as he handed Brock the medicine. "Pika pi pipi chu kachu." Pikachu said as she snuggled close to Ash. "Man how could you have gotten so sick Ash Ketchum?" Misty asked. "Well he wasn't around a bunch of plants of late was he?" the doctor asked. "Actually we were just yesterday." Brock said. "Well I'd say that, that might have something to do with this." the doctor said and left.

Ash stayed asleep for the next several hours and Misty never left his side. She gave him his medicine with Pikachu's and Brock's help and even talked to him. When he woke up she told him what had happened and got a little annoyed with him when he fell asleep but didn't take it out on him because she knew that sleep was what he needed.

Two days later his fever broke. Ash was back to his normal self more or less. He couldn't travel for another two days under doctor's order and he had to have a few shots. He learned that one of the flowers that had been in the meadow happens to be one that he is very allergic to. If he could identify it he would be able to aviod it but since there had been so many he couldn't. He later earned another badge and was then back on his way to his dream.
