Oh...that was...random. Anyways, I had another episode idea:
Part One:
Ash, in a new region, checks into a hotel with Cilan and, uh, a new female companion: Ria!(The rich girl who doesn't accept not getting what she wants, leading to comedic events, until the end of the series where Ria realizes that being rich is not all that matters and heads on her own journey, inspired by Ash.) The three all sleep in different rooms when Hypno-like pokemon sneak in and cast them all under a spell while they sleep. Ash ends up in a mysterious dream-world that is similar to Kanto. However, nobody's there. Ash runs to Misty's gym, wanting to reunite. When inside, he finds a seemingly possessed Misty that floats in the air and floats over to him. Ash screams and tries to run, but runs into a ghost-type pokemon. He sends out his Pikachu to do battle, when the ghost-type pokemon turns Pikachu into a ghost. Misty, the ghost-type, and Pikachu all try to catch Ash, who flees from the gym only to find a bunch of ghost(zombified) inhabitants of Kanto waiting for him. The scene then cuts to Cilan's dreamworld. Cilan is in a tent offering free readings to see how much pokemon like their owners. When a customer comes in with a Dewott, Cilan is quick to evaluate. When done, he tells the trainer that the Dewott is happy to be with him. The trainer nods and tried to leave happily, when he/she runs into the exit and can't get out. Cilan runs over and tries to open the tent flaps, which have turned into pure metal and won't open. Trapped, Cilan and the trainer beg and plead for help. After a while, they give up. The trainer looks over to his Dewott and screams. The Dewott attacks him harshly, causing him to jump out of the way. Cilan, confused, tries to find out what's wrong with the Dewott, when he gets a close look and realizes the Dewott is a ghost(similar to the transformed PIkachu is Ash's nightmare.) It then shows Ria, who is in a great concert hall performing an act of talent with her pokemon, famous as she dreamed she would be. She's having the time of her life and the camera zooms in on her as she closes her eyes and bows. When she opens her eyes, she see's the audience has suddenly all turned into ghosts. Screaming, she summons her pokemon into their pokeballs and runs as fast as she can out the backstage entrance, only to see more zombies. She is in a city now, running, dodging ghosts and ghost pokemon, when she trips over a pokemon that's not a ghost. Picking it up, she runs. After a while, she stops and looks at the pokemon and asks if it's okay. The pokemon is suddenly a ghost when she looks at it and it bites her shoulder. She screams and tosses it away like a heartless maniac. She clutches her shoulder as she realizes she's surrounded on a bridge. She then dives off the bridge, aiming for the water, when a portal opens. She dives straight into the portal. It then shows Ash running when he rams straight into Ria outside a tent. They hear cries from inside the tent, and open it. The Dewott has cornered Cilan. Ria sends out her pokemon and they have a battle with the Dewott. Ria wins. Cilan walks out of the tent and thanks them. Suddenly, the Hypno-like pokemon that put them under the spell show up as well as some members of whatever evil team is native to the region. They claim that they're impressed that Ash, Cilan, and Ria made it this far before commanding their pokemon to attack. Cilan claims that none of them have their pokemon ready. The evil team laughs saying it just makes the battle easier and their pokemon lunge forwards. Ria holds them off. Meanwhile, Ash and Cilan realize that they're cages behind the evil team. They run and free their pokemon from the cages and turn ready to join Ria. Ria, meanwhile, is winning. She grins. Then, she cries out and clutches her shoulder looking at the wound. When she looks back up, she's a ghost. Ash and Cilan scream and realize they're surrounded. The evil team then laughs saying that since Ria was zombified in the dream, she'll never wake up. Ash and CIlan are horrified. Then Ash recklessly declares a battle: If they win, then the evil team would have to free them all from the spell...including Ria. The evil team accepts saying that if Ash, Cilan, and Ria lose, then Ash, Cilan, and Ria have to stay in the nightmare world forever. Ria laughs evilly as the battle starts. The battle gets close, as it is down to one Hypno-like pokemon versus a very weak Pikachu. Cilan cheers Ash on, but Ash is losing. Ash claims he can't do it and they're too powerful, and that they already have Ria. Cilan encourages Ash not to give up, and his motivational words cause Ash to fight harder than before. Pikachu wins and the three are saved from the nightmare realm, all three waking up. They then report the experience to the head of the hotel who says that he/she'll contact the authorites. When they leave, the hotel manager calls someone and says that: "They're more clever than we thought. We have to up our game." A mysterious silhoutte is shown after facing two more evil-looking grunts of the team and throws a picture of Ash to them, instructing them to hunt the target. The evil-looking grunts acknowlege and head off. The End.
