While Ash and his friends attempt to rescue them, Mirage Master threatens Oak with the intent of gaining the access password to his laboratory database. Revealing his insanity, he speaks of his contempt for the flaws inherent in every , and of his desire to create a Pokémon free of these flaws. A Mirage appears to Professor Oak, and the Mirage Master snaps at the sight of it, viciously attacking it with his Mirage and declaring it to be a "flawed specimen".
Oak initially resists the threats and refuses to give the password. As a backup plan, Mirage Master uses some of his Mirage Pokémon to capture Pikachu after ambushing it. He then straps it to a table and uses a special machine to scan its memories for data, causing it great pain. This finally breaks Oak's resolve, and he surrenders the password, "."
