Master Six 2:
Truth and Consequences
Chapter 4
Cinnabar Island.
Vacationers paradise.
Beautiful, serene scientific laboratories.
One might even call it a wonderland.
But that one would not be Rodney Timberlane.
"This place sucks," Rodney complained, "what are we looking for exactly Zak?"
"First of all, Specks," Psycho answered, "It's Psycho. We have reached our destination; it's all codenames from here on in. And second of all, I'm not sure what we're looking for."
"Scientists," Lindsey spoke up. For some reason she seemed extra somber to Specks. Maybe it was the atmosphere. This place wasn't exactly an island paradise. Also, she apparently had history on this stupid island. Whatever that could be.
"Yes, scientists," Psycho responded, "now, we have some laboratories, and then we have a burned out Pokemon House."
"The question is," Specks said, "where do we start?"
"I say we start with the PokeMart," Psycho said, "we could just hang out and listen for anything familiar to Lindsey or just suspicious in particular."
"What do you mean suspicious?" Specks asked.
"Listen," Psycho answered, "Team Rocket mentioned Cinnabar Island to Lindsey. Why would they just tell her something like that? I believe it to be a trap. They probably told her that expecting her to come here. I just hope they don't know we're here yet. But this isn't some secret island. It is kind of populated, so Team Rocket might not have spies everywhere. A lot of people frequent PokeMarts. So we'll find something."
"Okay," Lindsey practically whispered.
So the three of them walked towards the PokeMart. Specks couldn't help but wonder what they sold on a somewhat secret scientific island. Science had always been an interest to Specks. That was how he created a couple of his goggles. His X-Ray goggles were a work of art. This was a scientist's paradise. The small town here housed all the scientists and their families. Then they would go to work in the laboratories.
Wonder what they do in there? Specks wondered. There was supposed to be some kind of fossil...bring-back-to-life place somewhere in there. Specks once had a fossil, but Team Rocket took it from him. That was the excuse he used to justify his fight with Team Rocket. That was how he joined. Whistler and Shooter had come to him looking for someone with special skills to join their team.
It was a no-brainer at first. They said that they would be getting revenge on Team Rocket. Specks was fresh off of that robbery of his fossil, so he said sure. He became the first to join their team. It was pretty cool. He helped them find some of the others. Now, he was well over the fossil thing. He just didn't feel like leaving the team. It was kind of fun. In a weird fight for your life kind of way.
But the first battle at the Game Corner was kinda cool. It was fun to sneak around the secret basements, and then burst in on the bad guys and fight. It was a rush. But it ended, and here he was, a week later, on some island.
That was okay though. He wanted to help Lindsey, help the team. She had so many questions about her life. How could Rodney live with himself if he didn't do all he could to help her. He would do what he could. Hey, this could be an even bigger adventure than the earlier one. Psycho did say this might be a trap.
There might be fighting and fleeing still to come.
Oh boy.

"Hmm, do you think I need some more Max Repel?"
"Yes Psycho, sure, that is exactly what you need."
"Chill Specks, you've been really nervous since you got in the store."
They'd been in the PokeMart for maybe ten minutes now. And as soon as Specks walked in the door he felt a chill. Especially when one of the men searching through the merchandise started looking at Lindsey funny.
That really freaked him out.
Why was that guy glancing at Lindsey every now and then? He just kept taking a peak at her, and when he looked, he had a kind of thinking look on his face.
Psycho and Lindsey didn't seem to notice, and Psycho was acting too casual for the atmosphere.
"Excuse me young lady?" the scientist spoke up.
Oh crap! He's moving in!
"Yes?" Lindsey asked, startled by someone noticing her. Psycho moved just a little between the man and Lindsey. Not so much that they would notice.
"You just look very familiar is all," the man said.
"I get that a lot," Lindsey stated flatly.
"Can we help you?" Psycho shot in.
"No, it's nothing," the man stuttered, "sorry to bother you."
"No problem," Lindsey whispered.
"Dr. DeWhisple," the cashier spoke up.
"Yes?" Dr. DeWhisple (the man) answered taking his attention away from the kids.
"You're wanted in the lab," the cashier answered.
"Thank you, C'mon Joseph," he called to the other scientist.
They both grabbed what they wanted. Paid for it. And headed for the door.
"Follow them," Psycho whispered.
