Chapter 3: The Mansion of the Dead

Jessie took out her binoculars and looked around. She was in a bush, looking around. She then took out a walky-talky. "James, this is agent J-E-Double S. Do you read me?"

The walky-talky sounded. "J-E-Double S? Who?"

"It's Jessie you idiot!"

"Oh...Where are you?"

"I'm looking at Pokemon Manner right now! There's lights inside, and people having a party! And...ooh! I see Pokemon!"

"Rare ones?"

"Oh yeah..."

There were people inside the mansion chatting with each other. There were also Pokemon on the judging booths and some inside cages, some on leashes, and some were just walking about. A Suicune was on display in the main hall, and a Pinser with very big horns was there too! There were Persians of all colors, Growlithes of all shapes, Pikachus of all sparks, and a woman chasing after her "runaway" Rattata.

Jessie looked on and soon got closer to the mansion, peering in the windows, when her eyes caught hold of that Suicune. "Oh my God! Come in, James, I see PRETTY BLUE!"

"What?"

"MYSTERIOUS BLUE DOG!"

"Huh?"

"SUICUNE YOU IDIOT!!"

"Oh...Su...Suicune??!"

"Yes! It's a lovely sight! Ooh! The boss will love it!!!!! Ha hahahahaha~~~"

James grinned. "All right! This is great! Woohoo!"

As James was celebrating, Jessie noticed that there was now static on the walky-talky. "James...I can barely hear you! What's going on? James!!!"

There was no answer.

She then thought she heard footsteps, and she jumped back into the bush that she was orginally hiding in.

A man, who was covered in a black cloak walked in front of the mansion and out of...just nowhere! He had dark black hair, and reddish eyes.

Who's that? Jessie thought to herself.

He lifted his hands. "So....here we are...another mansion..." He said to himself. He pointed his hand towards the mansion. And then turned, as if he heard rustling in the bushes.

"Oh..." Jessie ducked. "Damn, I think he saw me!"

The man snickered and turned back. He stepped back a few inches and looked at the ground. He then took out a long staff and lifted up his hands, along with the staff. "Zombies....ARISE!!!"

The ground shook, and out popped the grossest looking zombies you would have ever seen!

Jessie was about to scream, but then covered her mouth, and watched in horror as more came up.

The mysterious guy laughed and looked at all his zombies. "Now, you will all go into that mansion, and kill as many people as you can. Do you understand?"

"Err..." A zombie grunted.

"I guess that means "yes.." He said, and then shooed the zombies in the mansion. The zombies bust down the door, and Jessie could hear the screams of both Pokemon and humans alike.

She took out her walky-talky, with her hands shaking. "James? Are you there?"

"*static...*"

"James...please....come in! Please!"

".......................................J................Je.......Jessie? I lost you...are you the....now?"

"James! Oh, thank God! You won't believe what I just saw..."

"Je........w.......di....y...." She was losing him again.

"James! I'm losing you! James!"

James shook the walky-talky. "Jessie! Are you there?"

"J.....r....t..." That was all Jessie heard.

"James!" Oh God, please don't let this happen to me! Don't let this happen!

She finally got a clear signal again. "Jessie! Please, answer! Tell me what happened!"

"James, I was here at the mansion....and then I saw..." She stopped and her eyes filled with horror.

"You saw what? What, Jessie, what? Jessie....JESSIE?" But there wasn't an answer
