Ash, Shelly, Pikachu, and Greninja are in Blake's apartment, they are trying to find the secret passage. Shelly manages to find out the second passcode is 0, and Ash also finds the first passcode 5 between the books, the bottom half of the key in the drawer, and the upper half in the trash can. Greninja finds the third number 8 in a book, finds a note in a book that says 4~7: SW, NE, SE, NW, and he checked the trees, he also finds four numbers: 3, 1, 6, and 4. Pikachu finds a disc inside the game console and the power cable that is locked inside the cabinet. After using the key to get the cable, they use it on the computer with the disc input. And they type in the passcode: 5083164. Then Ash, Pikachu, and Greninja hear something shaking.

Shelly: Huh?! It- it moved!

Ash rushes towards Shelly and he also finds a secret passage.

Shelly: I feel like we should've been looking for a door with the number '9' on it or something. Anyway, let's go! Heather's waiting for us!

When they continue to climb up the mountain, they find a locked cabin.

Ash: Heather! Can you hear me? Would you respond even if you could?

There is no reply, but Shelly also seems determined.

Shelly: No, never mind. It doesn't matter! We have to get this door open! But it's locked... D-did we really come all the way up here just for nothing?

Ash: We have to have faith in her... Heather! Heather, can you hear me?!

Inside the cabin, Heather is sitting on the crates with the food.

Heather: Stupid Blake. Stupid Dad... Stupid Mom...Why did you have to leave me alone? (Frowns) I'm so sick of this... I'm always alone. If it's not one thing, it's another. Stupid Blake with his lies! "Oh sure, Heather! I'll look after you. You can crash with me and we don't even have to have any rules at all! You can do whatever you want!" Yeah, and I'll be locked up in a cage, LIAR! The only crashing we'll do is when I crash your face into the ground... Stupid jerk. "This is the crag of life, Heather. All will break themselves on it, in time." Is that why you joined Team Meteor?! To betray me and break me faster?! "You should have known better than to expect anything else from this cold reality." Ugh! (Hits his head on the wall) Owww...I hate this... I hate Dad and I hate Blake and I hate being alone... (Yells and bangs on the wall) I hate it! I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I HATE IT! (Kneels down and cries) But- It's... my fault. Isn't it? I did this... I ran away. I blocked everyone out. I- ...I'm sorry. I'm so sorry...

Ash: (Faint sound) Heather!

Heather: (Looks up with confusion) Huh?

Ash: (Louder) Heather!

Shelly: Can you hear us?! Are you in there?!

Heather: (Rushes towards the door) Ash! Shelly!

Shelly: She's there! Ash, she's there!

Heather: What in the world are you doing here?

Shelly: We came to rescue you! Is there any way you can get the door open?

Heather: If there was, I wouldn't still be in here.

Shelly: O-oh, right... Sorry...

Heather: No- I'M sorry. Can we try to break it down? I tried before and couldn't, but maybe together-

Ash: I'll do it with you. Greninja, I need your help.
