Seeing the three of them fleeing in panic before them, Ash and his friends exchanged a smile. After recalling their respective Pokémon, the three of them prepared to leave Viridian City and set off on the road home.
"Ash, after I leave, you must remember to brush your teeth properly, and don't forget to eat on time. Don't stay up late at night either—you always oversleep. And you too, Brock; don't just rush up to every older girl you happen to see. With me gone, there won't be anyone to hold you back. Don't make me and Ash come looking for you in prison later," Misty nagged Ash and Brock all the way, repeating herself constantly for fear of leaving anything important out.
"Oh, and Pikachu, I'm leaving Ash in your care. If you run into any danger or anything, make sure you let Ash protect you!"
