Ash, after finding his hat and Pokeballs, entered the Obs Deck and was almost immediately dogpiled. Pikachu, Charizard, Gible, Oshawott, Heracross, and even Sceptile basically collapsed on top of him, hugging him. Finished, Pikachu took his customary place on the trainer's shoulder.

"Guys! It's great to see you...are any of the others here?" Ash asked, figuring the eclectic group might mean there were more of his Pokemon here. They shook their heads.

"Alright. Don't worry, we'll figure something out. We always do, right?" He said optimistically, even though he wasn't quite feeling that way.
