Ash growled as the plane flew away, but he couldn't resist the urge. He shoved the Sheldon into Gary's arms and ran after the ship, yelling, " WHEN I SEE YOU HUNTER J YOU ARE DEAD!"
Rowan's car pulled up behind him. " Gary?" He asked as he stepped out. " I recall Brock telling me you had another person."
" Where's Ash?" Brock asked as he and Dawn stepped out, followed by the rest of the researchers.
Gary quickly handed Brock the Sheildon. " There's no time. I'm gonna go after him. I'll call soon."
And with that he took off running.

" Where is it, where did it go?" Ash muttered as he scanned the sky, looking for the black airship.
" Ash!" Gary exclaimed as he ran to him and put a hand on his shoulder. " You can't just run off like that!"
Ash Shrugged the hand off. " But Gary, I have to find that ship!"
He started to run, but Gary grabbed his shoulder, turned him around to face him, and put his other hand on Ash's other shoulder.
" Listen, Ash. You can't go off Willy nilly without a plan!"
" I do have a plan!" Ash argued.
Gary shook his head and pointed to Ash's leg, which had a poison sting dart in it. " If you had a plan Hunter J's Pokemon wouldn't have gotten you."
" I'm fi-"
" No you're not!" Gary snapped. " Look, this the the first time I've seen you in a long time. At least let me take it out!*
" You can do it AFTER I find Hunter J." He started to move, but but his lip when pressure was applied to his foot.
Gary shook his head and forced Ash to sit on the ground. Gary gently lifted Ash's pants and took his bag off. He rummaged through and took out a first aid kit.
Ash eyed it nervously. " Gary, I don't-"
Gary wasn't about to let Ash brush this off. "Ash," he said firmly, kneeling down beside him, "this isn't a suggestion. You're poisoned. If I don't take care of it now, you won't even make it to Hunter J."
Ash squirmed slightly, glaring at the black airship that had disappeared into the horizon. "But Gary, if we wait too long, she'll get away!"
"She's already gone, Ash! You running around in circles isn't going to help!" Gary snapped, grabbing Ash's leg and inspecting the dart still lodged there. "Do you want to collapse halfway there and make things even easier for her?"
Ash frowned, reluctantly letting his shoulders slump. He hissed as Gary pressed lightly around the dart. "I can handle it."
"Sure you can," Gary muttered sarcastically, pulling out a pair of tweezers from the kit. "Because limping after an airship is such a great strategy."
