Chapter 4: Pewter Adventure Continued
Later that night Cara was hobbling down the street attempting to master the art of walking in high heels. Suddenly CRACK Cara fell and her ankle twisted with a horrible crack. "Oh NO!" Cara cried fighting back tears. She forced herself to get up and limped the rest of the way to the theater.
She entered the French doors and shoved her ticket into the hands of the guard and crawled up a flight of stairs to the balcony where there table was.
"WOW" stammered Bill. "What?" asked Cara "Um…nothing…….yea nothing " he replied. "You just look um….nice." "Ok" Cara said, but she couldn't help noticing he was staring at her unusually hard. "So anyway…" he quickly continued. "What took you so long?" asked Bill, "I think I killed my ankle." Cara answered. "But I got the badge." Amanda looked over "How much did you have to pay to get that?" "SCREW YOU" Cara glared at her. A waiter came up and took there order.
Then a large women appeared on the stage and said "Welcome to the Pewter Theater. My name is Fiffi Scolach, and I hope you enjoy the show. It will begin in approximately ten minutes" Bill smiled "That's my aunt."
Then a loud crash broke the silence. Cara looked down a blond girl with glasses had dropped a tea cup and it lay in fragments all over the floor, but what was it to Cara. All she cared about at the moment was tending to her ankle. Then she heard Amanda shout, "Hey Katie Get on up here"
Just then a thought struck Cara …..if that was Amanda's friend Katie Halaway then that would mean more people following her, slowing her down, distracting her….
A moment later Katie Halaway and her twin brother Paul showed up. "Hey Amanda," she said, "Poketech has been closed for the year for remodeling, so would it be ok if we went along with you?" She stared through her glasses at the frustrated looking Cara and the two girls, Amanda and Kate beaming next to her. Just as Cara was about to say no Kate shouted "Great we'd love you to come." "What about us?" called another pair of voices. Katie's sister Jill and brother Morgan appeared. They were a few years older then Cara. "The more the merrier!" answered Bill. Cara fell out of her chair in disbelief.
"So….what's playing tonight anyway?" asked Katie. "A Tale of Two Pokemasters" answered Bill. "But I thought there could only be one" Katie remarked. "Exactly" said Bill.
"Hey Cara!" said Jill. Cara responded with a moody hello. "Did you break your leg?" asked Jill. "THAT'S IT!!!" snapped Cara. "I'm leaving! I'm going to find a hospital. I'll meet you back at the hotel." "But Cara, aren't you even gonna stay and try the fillet of farfetched?" asked Bill sympathetically. "NO"
Cara limped down the empty street to a building with a sign out front reading Pewter Hospital.
She saw a tired looking Nurse Joy sitting at the counter. "Nurse Joy? I thought this was a hospital for people." "It is" she responded. "The human hospital is on the other side" so Cara left her pokemon with Joy to be healed and walked down the hall to the human hospital.
There was no one at the front desk so Cara plopped down in one of the big armchairs. A Jigglypuff sat at a piano in the corner playing Fur Alise. The video phone in the opposite corner began to ring. Cara, still seeing no one got up and went to answer it.
A picture of Prof. Oak appeared on the screen and then a moment later he spoke, "Hello. Who is this?" "I'm Cara from Metronome." "Oh well then you'd better give Prof. Matt a call. Sophie told him this crazy story about you getting killed by a shyther." he said. Cara growled. "Anyway" Oak continued "Is Dr. Bones around?" "No" answered Cara. "Oh well then I'll try back later. Um, Goodbye Cara." "C'ya" Cara hung up.
Cara dialed Prof. Matt's number. He answered "Hello? Oh Cara it's good to see your alive, I heard that you were…" Cara cut him off "I know" "Anyway so how have you been?" "Well, I have one badge, five pokemon, and like one million people following me." "Well that's good. Please excuse me but I have to leave now. Goodbye Cara." "C'ya" muttered Cara.
As Cara turned around she noticed that Jigglypuff was now directly behind her. It began to sing. A moment later Cara began to feel unusually tired. The room began to spin and all of a sudden the floor seemed a lot closer. She blacked out.
"Jigglypuff stop that!" she heard someone saying an unknown amount of time later. Cara looked up she was lying on the floor. A tall man dressed in white stood in front of her. He introduced himself. "Hello, I'm Doctor Bones. Sorry about Jigglypuff. What seems to be the matter." Cara slowly struggled to get up. "It's my ankle."
Dr. Bones examined Cara's swelled ankle. "It's not broken" he reported. "I can bandage it but we'll just have to wait for it to heal on it's own." He then wrapped Cara's ankle.
On her way out the door, Dr. Bones called "If you can catch Jigglypuff you may keep her." So Cara sent out Ponyta because Ponyta was the only pokemon not with Nurse Joy. "Ponyta use your ember now." Ponyta missed and Jigglypuff began to sing, "Jigleeeeeee Puff Jigaaaaleeeee eeeeee Puff." Ponyta started falling asleep. "Ponyta stay awake!" Cara yelled reaching for her Pokeflute but, Jigglypuff was already using fury swipe. Cara watched horrified as Ponyta fainted.
"Oh well here goes nothing!" Cara hurled a pokeball at Jigglypuff. It missed but Jigglypuff leapt happily into it anyways.
"Allright!" Cara thought and went to go pick up her pokemon and then go back to the hotel.
