The episode named Pai's Dream is the eleventh episode of Season 1 of Virtua Fighter. In this episode, fighters Pai and Lau are facing off against each other in a tournament. Pai's father, Lau's brother-in-law, watches the match from the sidelines. Pai is determined to win, but Lau seems to have the upper hand until Pai suddenly collapses.

When Pai wakes up, she finds herself in a strange world. It seems to be a dreamscape where she is the only fighter and must face off against a series of opponents. The opponents vary in appearance, but they all share the same moves as Pai's friends and rivals. Pai takes on every opponent with all her strength and fighting skills, but she becomes increasingly frustrated and confused as she cannot defeat them.

As Pai continues to fight, she notices that her surroundings are changing. The environments that she's fighting in are becoming increasingly bizarre and surreal. Pai eventually finds herself engulfed in a fiery inferno and begins to panic. She calls out for help, but no one comes to her aid.

Meanwhile, her father and Lau are waiting for her to regain consciousness. They both look on with concern and worry as they wait for Pai to get better. Lau becomes increasingly eager to find out what caused Pai's sudden collapse and wonders if he's partly responsible for what happened.

Back in the dreamscape, Pai is struggling to find a way to defeat her opponents. Despite her best efforts, she keeps getting beaten down, and the fighting takes a toll on her. She begins to wonder if this is all just a nightmare, a product of her own fears and anxieties.

But then Pai suddenly remembers something: a technique that her father taught her when she was young. With renewed confidence, Pai stands back up and prepares to battle again. Using her father's technique, she finally defeats her opponents one-by-one, until she is the last fighter standing. As she emerges victorious, Pai finally wakes up, her eyes wide open.

Pai is disoriented at first, but her father and Lau come to her side to check on her. When Pai sees her father, she suddenly remembers that the technique she used in the dreamscape was one that he had taught her. Pai realizes that it was her father who had kept her focused and confident even in her dreams by helping her to recall the technique.

Pai is proud of herself for conquering her fears and fulfilling her goals, but she is grateful to her father for guiding her and helping her to overcome her challenges. Together, Pai and her father walk off into the sunset, happy and content.
