Help him!!
You refuse to leave another friend behind in a time of peril!! You command Charmander to use Ember, which hits back the Beedrill! You run over and throw Obadiah's arm over your shoulder and try to run away. The Beedrill are tailing you fast and things seem impossible, when green powder began spreading around. You feel drowsy and all of you, including the Beedrill fall over, asleep…
When you awaken you find that you're in a small wooden cabin. A boy with a straw hat is writing away at his desk with a Butterfree by his side.
"Ah, you're awake! Butterfree and I rescued you and your Pokémon back there. That old man is in the back. He's in critical condition but I gave him some Antidote. I don't know how long he'll last out here though…" Suddenly your Pidgeotto came in through the window! "Ah! This must be your Pokémon! Earlier I was having some difficulties with Beedrill myself while I was looking for Butterfree. It was off collecting nectar and all that jazz. Pidgeotto came on and helped me out! Pokémon are quite smart creatures. It new I was in trouble!"
All this is great, but you're worried about Obadiah.
