Chapter Five - Sailing Away!

The next morning, they awoke to a bright morning; feeling refreshed (A few bumps on the head, but otherwise fine!) Jacko was awake first, and he woke the others. They sat up and looked outside. The sun was shining brightly! Sam looked at his watch and saw it was half past eight. Then a few Chanseys came bustling in carrying trays of food and drink. They gave one to each of the kids, and then a smaller Chansey gave a tray of special food to Jacko's Gengar. The Gengar ate it quickly and jumped off Jacko's bed, where it had been sitting.

They walked out of the Centre and to the boat bay. When they got there, Jemima sent out her Lapras and jumped over a rock onto its back

"Now I know why this place is called Persian Island! You need to be a Persian to negotiate with these rocks!" Said Ash

Misty dealt him a slap and said

"Of course! State the obvious!"

"You're nothing but a stupid GIRL! What do you know" Taunted Ash

"I could fight you at Pokémon"

"You'd lose!"

"WANNA TRY IT???"

At that point, as Ash was raising his fist, holding a Pokéball, Sam jumped between them. (Well, he would have jumped between them if he hadn't stepped on some seaweed and slipped into the sea… but that's another story…) (NOO NOT ANOTHER STORY!!!! HORI!! SHUT UP ALREADY!!!) He pulled a piece of Kelp seaweed of his face as he got up and said,

"I don't think we quite need this guys! Do you need this hassle? Do I need this hassle, No I don't, No you don't Blah Blah Blah, End of story" He said decisively

Misty giggled, sent out her Starmie and climbed slowly onto its back. Brock sent out his Onix, and using the Mac Jemima had lent him earlier, put it on Onix, so Onix wouldn't sink or be affected by the water. Ash sent out Lapras and hopped aboard as Sam jumped onto his Poliwrath.
Jacko sat on Jemima's Lapras

They surfed on for ages, until Jemima's Lapras alerted them to land ahead. They reached the land, looking rather bedraggled and looking for a Pokémon centre. They walked, dripping through an archway; A girl saw them and came over.

"Jemima! Buddy!" She shouted

Jemima and the girl hugged and Jemima said

"Victoria! I haven't seen you in ages!"

The others were shuffling their feet, kinda embarrassed as another girl came rushing over.

"Jig! SIS!" Yelled Jemima

"Jem! You're looking… well…um… I would say well, but the better word would be… Wet!"

"Guys, these are my friends! Jig and Victoria! They may be joining us! Will you guys?" said Jemima

"Sure! Uh… Where are you going?" said Jig

"Well, this here is our first stop! Spiros Island! Then… we are just exploring!"

Then, an old woman came running up, well as fast as she could go saying
"Oh you poor dears! You must be freezing! Allow me! Come inside, this is my inn!" They went inside, and she poured them a pot of tea and gave them Goldeen and Cucumber sandwiches with Cheese crumpets! Misty, after prodding the sandwich numerous times decided she couldn't bring herself to eat it, started on the crumpets.

"I'll eat 'em Misty!" said Jemima, who never had any problems with eating, ate Misty's sandwiches as well as her own! Later on that night, they each went into a room. The girls were in one room; the boys were in another. At about ten 'o' clock that night, Misty asked

"Do you guys live on this island?"

"No, we're just here for today. I live on Squirtle island and Jig lives on Cubone island" Said Victoria

"So where were you going next?" Said Misty

"Dunno. We were jus' gonna take the tide, Y'know!" said Jig

"Oh! That's what we're doing tomorrow!" Said Jemima

"That Brock is a sick weirdo! I saw him perving at my butt earlier!" Said Victoria

"Yeah, He is sick. That's just him." Said Misty

"Oh, I dunno, Brocko is kiiiinda cute inhisownlittleway." Said Jemima

"Brocko?" said Victoria

"Never Mind!"

"Euch! You fancy him?" Said Jig, disgusted

"No you idiot, I just, I don't and wouldn't fancy him, just he's a very sweet person. In his… way." Retorted Jemima

"Hmm…" said Misty as she fell asleep.

In the boys room, at around the same time;

"Don't you just think Victoria is just SOOO Fit?" Said Brock

"No Way! Misty is better!" Said Sam

"Yeuch! Wake up you idiot, Its Jemima!" said Ash (That's not the real thought like that in his head, but he certainly wasn't going to reveal his dream girl's identity! They'd laugh)

"Nope" Said Jacko

"Nah, You're all wrong! Definitely Victoria" Said Brock

"Like you'd know! You've fancied every girl so far! Excluding Misty and Jessie!" said Ash, laughing

"I have good taste!" Said Brock

"You like Officer Jenny for goodness sake!" Exclaimed Ash

"She has adult charm!" Replied Brock

"You would have fancied Duplica, if she wasn't younger than you!"

"Yeah right!"

"I know the look that comes into your face, You fancied the knickers off her!"

"Knickers…" Said Brock dreamily as he dozed off

"Weirdo" Said Sam

"I'm not sure if I feel safe sleeping in the same room as him… He scares me…" Said Jacko, shuddering.

"Yup" agreed Ash

"We'd better get some sleep." Said Jacko, patting his Gengar.
