THE RETURN OF TEAM ROCKET

Part 6

Disclaimer -- I don't own Pokemon

For a month Brock and Misty searched for Ash, but
didn't find any clues to where he was. They put up
posters in every police station and Pokemon center
with Ash and Pikachu's pictures and Professor Oak and
Delia Ketchum's phone numbers on them, but nobody
called.

Late one evening Brock and Misty arrived in Dark Town.
They went right to the Pokemon center. Nurse Joy
said she hadn't seen Ash, but allowed them to put up a
poster. Then she got them some soup.

As Brock and Misty were eating, they noticed a boy
looking at the poster of Ash and Pikachu. After a few
minutes the boy came over to them.

"Are you the ones who are looking for the kid in the
poster?" he asked.

"Yes, we are," Misty said. "Have you seen him?"

"I don't know where he is," the boy said. "Isn't he
the boy that was shot by that Giovanni guy from Team
Rocket a few years ago?"

"Yes," Brock replied.

"Well. . .I don't know if this will help. . .but I
remember reading a couple of months ago that Giovanni
escaped from prison," the boy said. "And when I went
through Gringy City a few weeks ago, I saw a lot of
people in Team Rocket uniforms."

"Do you think Ash is there?" Misty asked.

"He might be," the boy said. "I haven't seen him. .
.but if he was kidnapped by that Giovanni, they might
have him there."

"Thank you," Brock said.

"Sure," the boy replied. "Good luck. I hope you find
your friend."

"So do we," Brock said. The boy went back to his
friends.

"Come on, Brock!" Misty cried, picking up her
backpack.

"We're not going anywhere tonight," Brock said.
"We've been walking all day and it's dark already.
We'll start for Gringy City in the morning."
