"Are you a cousin or relative of the Nurse Joy from other cities?" Ash asked as he looked at Nurse Joy in front of him.
"Ah yes, I suppose so, is there anything I can help you with?" Nurse Joy replied with a gentle smile.
Raj took out a photo and said, "Excuse me, we would like to ask about these children."
"Oh, are those the children who suddenly disappeared, I saw it in the news," Nurse Joy said.
"Yes, do you have any clues at all, could you tell us?" Ash asked eagerly.
"I'm sorry, I don't know."
"And the situation here is also quite a mess," Nurse Joy said with an embarrassed expression.
"Did something happen?" Misty asked from the side.
"Recently, the Pokémon in our area have all been acting strangely."
"Huh?"
"Look, Cubone and Oddish have become like this, and even Magikarp, which is usually quite lively despite being weak, is the same," Nurse Joy said as she led Raj and the others into the back ward and pointed at the Pokémon lying on the beds.
These Pokémon all looked listless, as if they had completely lost their energy.
"This is Magikarp," Misty said as she immediately perked up when she saw the Water-type Pokémon.
"Magikarp on a chopping board," Ash said as he looked at the motionless Magikarp in surprise.
"Even the flame on that Charmander's tail is almost extinguished," Nurse Joy said worriedly as she looked at the Charmander lying nearby.
"And this child has also been constantly troubled," Nurse Joy added as she held a wide-eyed Psyduck.
"Psyduck, a Water-type Pokémon often found near rivers and lakes, it possesses mysterious powers and can use many unusual moves," Raj said as he checked his Pokédex to record its information.
"By the way, what exactly is the cause?" Brock asked curiously.
"I don't know either."
"When did they start becoming like this?" Raj asked.
"About three days ago, I think."
"Three days ago, the children here also started disappearing three days ago," Raj said as he looked at Officer Jenny.
"Perhaps there is some connection between the Pokémon losing their vitality and the children's disappearance," Officer Jenny said as she fell into deep thought.
"One mystery leads to another, at times like this only my organized brain cells, those of the great detective Ash, can solve the mystery," Ash said as he began thinking very seriously and even made grunting sounds.
"So did you think of something?" Misty asked curiously.
"No, I didn't," Ash replied awkwardly.
Raj and the others sighed together.
"I'm really worried," Officer Jenny said, and at that moment the detector on her waist suddenly began ringing.
"It's reacting again," Officer Jenny said as she looked at the constantly fluctuating signals on the device.
"Is that a detector that reacts when there is a good man nearby?" Brock leaned closer and asked.
"Sir, please do not interfere with my work," Officer Jenny said impatiently as she pushed Brock away.
"This is a Hypnosis wave detector, recently we have been receiving these Hypnosis waves very frequently."
"What is that?" Raj asked curiously.
"It is a type of wavelength that can induce sleep."
"But we do not have any Pokémon emitting that wavelength in our Pokémon Center," Nurse Joy said in confusion.
"Then it must be coming from outside," Raj said as he stroked his chin thoughtfully.
At that moment, Ash's Pikachu and Raj's Haunter suddenly lost their energy and collapsed onto nearby beds.
"Huh, even Pikachu and Haunter have become listless," Misty said in surprise.
"Could it be that the Pokémon becoming listless is related to this Hypnosis wave?" Brock asked.
"Anyway, let's first find out where this Hypnosis wave is coming from," Officer Jenny said as she turned and walked outside.
Meanwhile, in a small house outside the city, the three members of Team Rocket were gathered around a machine.
"The Hypnosis wave is indeed coming from that city," Jessie said.
"Just as I thought," Meowth said.
"Let us find the source."
"Let the boss also be affected by the Hypnosis wave."
"That way the serious and strict boss will snore and fall asleep."
"We can enjoy our vacation while the boss is asleep," Meowth said happily.
"I don't know how long it has been since I had a proper rest," Jessie said as she cried.
"And it will be a long holiday," James added as he also began crying.
"It is not separate vacations, it is one continuous long holiday, a long-term holiday," Meowth said as he wiped his tears.
"I really want a holiday," Jessie cried again.
"Found it, it's this building, the signal should be coming from the rooftop," Officer Jenny said as she stopped in front of a very tall building.
"Alright," everyone said as they rushed inside together.
Inside the elevator, Officer Jenny watched the detector carefully and said, "Look, the machine's reaction is getting stronger and stronger."
At that moment, no one noticed the large letter R printed above the elevator door.
When the rooftop door opened, a luxurious villa appeared before them.
"What, there is such a large house on the roof," Misty said in surprise.
"Ash is still the same, so impulsive," Raj said as he sighed and followed him forward.
"It seems like there are people inside, let's go in," Raj said as he rushed forward together with Ash and Brock and pushed the door open.
Inside, a large group of people were holding a banquet, and two Pokémon were sitting at the central round table.
Everyone inside looked at Raj and the others with puzzled expressions.
"Who are you?" a butler wearing glasses asked.
"We tracked the source of the Hypnosis wave and found ourselves here," Officer Jenny replied.
"Hypnosis wave?"
"Ah I know, that is what this Venomoth is emitting," the butler said as he pointed to a Pokémon sitting at the table.
"Venomoth evolved from Drowzee three days ago," the butler said proudly.
"Three days ago," Officer Jenny repeated.
"That is exactly when the children started disappearing and when the Pokémon also began losing their vitality," she added as she looked at Raj and the others.
"Now we are asking it to replace our sleeping pills," a man in a suit at the banquet explained.
"Who are we referring to?" Brock asked.
"The members of the Pokémon Fan Club," the butler replied.
"Pokémon Fan Club," Raj repeated curiously.
"Because all of us love Pokémon very much, the most popular Pokémon among our members was this Drowzee."
"With everyone's combined efforts it was finally able to evolve into Venomoth."
"In short, the stress of city life is simply too great, so everyone became sleep deprived and came here to rely on Venomoth's power," the butler explained as a white-collar worker nearby was being hypnotized by Venomoth.
"The Pokémon lost their vitality because of the Hypnosis wave," Ash said as he held up Pikachu.
"The Pokémon at the Pokémon Center also lost their vitality," Raj added.
"This must be a side effect, Venomoth's Hypnosis wave was originally meant to affect Pokémon, but because it was forcibly redirected toward humans the Pokémon were affected instead," Brock said after thinking carefully.
"In that case it seems we have made a very serious mistake," the butler said as he held his head in regret.
