Chapter Four - Trouble On the Island!
Upon hearing this, Jemima sent out her Rapidash, leapt on board and carried on along the cliff top.
They cantered on, around the island until they came to Jacko's house.
The door was hanging off its hinges and half the roof had caved in. There was a faint hoarse whisper of:
"Gar… Gar"
Jemima moved some of the rubble, but she wasn't strong enough to lift the bigger pieces. She called her Onix from their cave and asked them to move the rubble. They did and they found Jacko unconscious under a table, his Gengar lying near him whispering
"Gen.? Gar… Gar…"
Jemima knocked the table flying, picked Jacko up (With difficulty (!)), and laid him over Rapidash's back. She instructed Rapidash to get him to the Pokémon centre as quickly as possible. She picked up Gengar and jumped onto one of her Onix's head. The rest of the Onix returned to their cave. The Onix she was riding sped towards the Pokémon centre and dropped Jemima outside.
"I promise I will let you battle sometime, and I never go back on my word! That's a promise!" Said Jemima as she hugged her Onix and went inside. The Onix loped off back to its cave with the other Onix.
She got inside to see Jacko sit up slowly and open his eyes. She handed the Gengar to Nurse Joy and Joy put it on a machine.
"Are you ok Jackie?" said Jemima
"Yeah… I think so. Don't call me Jackie" Said Jacko
"What happened?" Asked Jemima
"Team Rocket had some kinda bomb."
"Will you be well enough to join us on our new journey?"
"Hope so!"
"Where are we going first Samantha?"
"Spiros Island! Home of the purple Squirtle!" replied Sam
"MY FAVOURITE TYPE OF SQUIRTLE!" Exclaimed Jemima.
Last year, Jemima, Jacko and Sam had competed in the Pokémon league and all won their competitors badges. And after that, they went to Spiros Island and spent a month studying the mutated purple Squirtle there. In the end Jemima caught five, Jacko caught two and Sam caught three. The Squirtle were purpley coloured because their shells had pigment in them that was hereditary. It is still a mystery as to why this pigmentation is so… But back to the story…! (Aren't you lucky?)
"Keep it down!" Said Jacko as he hid his aching head under a pillow.
That night Jacko stayed in the Pokémon Centre with his Gengar. So did the others. Jemima slept on a sofa, near the door, Ash slept behind the counter, Misty was curled up in the corner, Brock was sprawled out all over an armchair in front of the counter and Sam sat on a wooden chair, awake and watching Misty, gently breathing quietly. Brock was snoring his brains out and he woke Jemima up in the middle of the night, so she took off one shoe and threw it at him. It missed and went sailing over the counter, where it hit Ash. He threw it out again, so it hit Misty. She woke up, and with a growl; threw it back at Ash. But it hit Brock instead. Brock threw it at Sam who had seen all this and lobbed it back at Jemima. Jemima, with a squeal, sent out her Jigglypuff to make them go to sleep again. She put her shoe on and recalled Jigglypuff, just before she dozed off.
