Cherrygrove

The smell of all those pink flowers made me sneeze.

Houndour nudged me, reminding me to stay alert.

THe Officer Jenny of this house of this place had a beautiful garden out the front. This Officer made a point of looking different. She had died her hair green and had painted fingernails and bright yellow lipstick.

Her earrings were dark blue and her eyes which had contacts I was sure, were black.

"Like yah Cassie. I totally saw no one there. Misty? Red head girl? Met her when she came to Cherrygrove with Ash and Brock."

SHe wasn't much help. Kept insisting on pouring me more coke.

"Y'know, I use this coke to wash my windows."

I spat the coke out.

"Or was it the other bottle? Wait a sec. I gave you the coke I use for detergent. Y'know, I recycle my coke. Helps the enviroment."

SHe makes me sick.

I searched her house when she went out to water her flowers.

Houndour sniffed around for good measure.

THere was only the scent of flowers anyway.

Azalea Town

This case is getting nowhere.

Azalea town better not have alot of Azaleas. I think I'm allergic to flowers.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Note: I can BREATH!

THe town was only crazy about slowpokes. Not a flower in sight.

Officer Jenny kept growlithes and one slowpoke.

"Sloooooww..."

It said. My poketranslator (the latest invention of Prof. Willow, a professor from Pieto) said that the slow poke was saying

'Hell'

"Hell? What did that mean?"

"Pooooke..."

My poketranslator indicated that slowpoke had said 'o'

"Hell o."

Slowpoke had actually just said Hello. Not Hell O. I wonder if I'm fit for this detective job...

ABandoning the slowpoke, I turned to growlithe.

"Growl."

That translated something like, 'Shoo!'

I think Officer Jenny would be more helpful.

"Officer Jenny. Have you seen Misty at all?"

"Oh yes. We were trying to arrest her and her friends for stepping on some slowpoke's tail. In the end I think they saved the slowpoke from Team Rocket or something."

"Uh huh. ANyway, to serious buisness. Did you notice anyone missing from the party? Any Officer Jennys?"

"i think my stepmother's fathers side's daughter's niece wasn't there.

"Hmmm. Remember her name?"

"Yeah. Officer Jenny." Stupid question.

"Where was she from?"

"I think from Ecruteak."

"Suspicious. I'll visit her next. Thankyou for your time."

*************************************************

Ecruteak

We met at burnt tower. It was time for a confrontation. I decided the best place to hide Misty was in Burnt Tower, so I arranged the meeting there.

SHe came with her growlithe at her heels.

"I thought that we were going to meet at my house?"

"Hmm? Oh no. I just wanted to see the popular tourist attraction, the Burnt tower. So, tell me. WHat is the story behind the ruins?"

"The ruins? THat's in Violet City."

"Oh it is? Oh! THanks for reminding me. I missed the Jenny in Violet City."

"You won't be able to see her, she went on a vacation to Kanto to see her cousin's sister's husband's cousin."

"Uh huh. Maybe I'll talk to her when she comes back."

Very suspicious. Why did the Officer Jenny in Violet City suddenly take off to Kanto?

Note: Must investigate later. If she's going there permanently I better take a trip to Kanto.

Officer Jenny wasn't much use. SHe seemed to only want to talk about her growlithe.

**************************************************

Goldenrod City

I met up with Ash and Brock and had lunch with them.

"Cassie! Long time no see."

"Yeah. I was off on buisness."

"Really? WHat do you do for a living?"

Oh great. I must call up my quick thinking skills...

"I'm an assistant to Nurse Joy."

I know what this is heading to. Better think fast.

"Really? What city?"

"Uh- Cherrygrove."

"DId you see the funky Officer Jenny hairdo? SHe's the coolest of all the Officer Jennys. She stepped into her sister's shoes when her sister got married. We met her at the Officer Jenny conference..."

"WHere you lost Misty."

"Yeah."

Ash looked glum. I was embarrassed and in a way relieved, because Ash and Brock didn't look too eager to ask questions any more.

Officer Jenny invited me into her house as soon as she saw me.

"Cassie! GOod to see you. Have you seen the main attractions of Goldenrod yet? The Radio Tower, the pokemon daycare centre, the Bug Park, the..."

"Officer, I'm on more serious buisiness than sight-seeing."

"Of course, of course, please come in."

I stepped into her house. It was well furbished with comfy armchairs and expensive chandeliers on the ceiling. Despite its grandness, there wasn't really anyplace to hide Misty, unless she hid Misty under the armchairs or in the bathroom...

I excused myself and walked into the toilet.

A growlithe was sitting on the floor. When it didn't say a word, I pointed my translator at it anyway. Sometimes it picked up words even when the pokemon was silent. Or mute.

THe translator just hissed at me so I quickly pocketed it.

After waiting a few seconds I flushed the toilet hurriedly and walked out. Officer Jenny had made me some tea and was sipping some of it herself in a ladylike way.

I mentioned the hissing sound I had heard when I pointed it at the growlithe, but she just laughed.'

"The radio tower seems to malfunction the translators. As a result, the translators sales have dropped dramatically since we discovered that they dn't work in Goldenrod."

******************************************************

Still in Goldenrod

I stayed a bit longer, had lunches with Ash and Brock, went out for walks, but nothing much else.

I pondered about what every Officer Jenny had said, but nothing seemed to come up.
