Chapter 9

            Dreavus?  That's a Pokemon!  Or half a Pokemon for that matter! Dreamer exclaimed.

            "Yes, I know.  I come from the town called Crimson.  I'm the only trainer to ever come from there.  I was the result of an experiment."

            I'm sorry to hear.  I was almost dissected. I said.

            "Oh!  You must come from Crimson too, right?"

            Yes.  How old are you, Dreavus? Death Flight asked.

            "I am 160 years old.  That experiment…I don't know," she muttered something after that that I couldn't hear.  "We better get going now, right?"

            Yes.  I'm starting to feel very tired. Huh said.

            "The next town over is Pallet.  There are no Pokemon Centers there, but there are nice people there who lets people rest in their houses."

            Then let's go. Vee said.

            Pallet town was small.  It had houses, and buildings like any other town, but I was most afraid of the…lab.

            Is that a lab where they hurt and test Pokemon? I asked.

            "No!  Of course not!  This isn't Crimson."  Dreavus knocked on a door of a house. 

            "Yes?" I heard a lady say.  I hoped they would hurry up.  I was not doing so well having Huh spray water on me every five minutes.

            "Madam, may we come and stay at your house for a day?  My Pokemon, and the other Pokemon are not feeling so well."

            "Of course, you may," the lady answered.  The lady let us all in a guest room.  "Now, don't go making a lot of noise!"

            "Flame!  Grass Jewel!  Dot!  Come out!"  Flame appeared.  Jewel appeared.  And Dot appeared.  "It's been a long day.  I need to relax, and take a shower.  Oh, um…Water Shadow, you need water don't you?"

            Yes. I said.  Huh was still putting water on me every five minutes.

            "Hee, hee, hee.  I guess I can put you in the sink until the other Pokemon and I are done washing ourselves."

            The sink was small.  It was better than dry land, but very small.

            Water Shadow, Huh, Dreamer, Vee, and Death Flight? Flame said.

            Yes.  Those are our names. Vee said.

            Ok, good, I got them straight.

            "Ok, Shadow.  You can go into the bath tub now."

            Ahh..nice water.  Room.  I love this.

            "Look, I'm going to go and get us some food, and while I'm going I might as well try and find a way to take Shadow along in water.  Behave!"

            Bye! we called.

            That was a good fight. Jewel said.

            Yes, but it wasn't really much of a challenge. I said.

            That's because you're some strange Magikarp, who can use headbutt and splash. Dot said.

            That's because I'm the Mighty Magikarp of this generation. I joked.  Well, I meant it as a joke, but nobody laugh.

            That's right!  That's why you're the way you are! Dreamer said.  I remember the story you told us about that!

            What story? Jewel asked.  She wouldn't know, because she was a plant type, and plants are better than water.

            So, anyway, Dreamer began to tell the story.  By the time she was done telling about how she had done more research on it, and knew the facts better, Dreavus came back.

            "I didn't have to go out and buy anything with my own money at all!  Mrs. Zoobooloo, the lady, said that if I do some shopping for her, she would cook dinner and breakfast and pack some lunch for us when we leave tomorrow for free!  Now eat!" She put in front of each of us two slices of bread.  Bread made for every different type of Pokemon (Mine tasted like fish food.)  She also gave each of us a cup of water, and a small, sweet piece of candy.

            Now, I can tell you, that is more food than necessary for a Magikarp.

            "Get some rest," Dreavus muttered as she put away a small purple book.  I figured it must be a diary of some sort.  Humans do keep records of their days.  I wondered why though.

            Good night. I said as I "closed" my eyes and went to sleep.

The reason I put "close" in quotes is because I have goldfish as pets and they don't have eyelids!  So, I figured since Magikarp are a fish, they don't have eyelids either!  What do you think of this story so far?  Any questions about this story.  I'm just kinda making this whole thing up as I go along.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!- I'm going to end this story right here and now!  You know why?  Because the point was for the Pokemon to escape.  I will be writing, when I get the time, their adventures going to gyms and stuff.
