Chapter Twelve - Poké Garden!

Next morning, Ash's mum came in and told them they had to go to the plant nursery for her. They set off to the station. A large Gyrados took them to the nursery. When they got there, Kyre, Farf and Diga went off on their own.
"Gee-Whizz!" Said Andre
"Ain't you ever seen nuttin' like Dat Sea lion?"
"Wow! Its huge!" Said Jig
"Jigger, You're right!" Said Jacko
"Shut up Jackie" Said Jig
"Tipsy! Where is Misty?" Asked Ash
"You should keep track of her, Ashy-boy!" said Jemima
"I'm over here!" shouted Misty
"OVER WHERE?" Bellowed Brock
"ARE YOU BLIND BROCKO? BY THE WATER FOUNTAIN!" Said Jemima
"Trust Misty to be there!" said Victoria
"This garden centre is where people bring their Pokémon relax!" said Sam
"All right! GO ONIX!" Said Jemima as she called out her Onix
"Hey babe! Look, thanks for taking me an' Jacko's Gengar to the Pokémon centre! Here is part of your reward!" Jemima said, to her Onix
The Onix gave a lopsided grin and slid off roaring, as Onix do.
"ALRIGHT! SEE YOU THEN! BYE!"
"What'd he say?" said Ash
"He said that he'd meet us later, outside at around two." Translated Jemima
"How do you know that?" Asked Ash
"Because I know my Pokémon well enough to understand them" Said Jemima
"I don't!" Said Ash
"Looks like you're gonna have to train harder, Ashy-boy!" Said Jemima
"Grr" grumbled Ash
"GO JOLTEON!" Cried Jemima
"GO RAPIDAaa… Actually change that… GO PIKACHU!"
"GO LAPRAS!"
"GO SANDSHREW!"
"GO PERSIAN!"
"GO MEWTWO"
"How come you have seven???" Asked Ash
"Because... because!" answered Jemima
"GO DEWGONG!" Said Andre
"GO SEEL!"
"GO DEWGONG!"
"GO SEEL!"
"GO SEEL!"
"GO DEWGONG!"
By now, Jig was staring at Andre, with a very surprised look on her face.
"So what if I like Seel and Dewgong!" Said Andre
"GO VAPOREON!" Shouted Jig
"GO RATICATE!"
"GO WARTORTLE!"
"GO JIGGLYPUFF"
"GO CUBONE!"
"How come you've only got five?" Said Andre
"My Charmeleon might set fire to something." Said Jig
"That's why I didn't send out Rapidash!" Said Jemima, grinning
"GO GENGAR!" Said Jacko
"GO GHASTLY!"
"GO HAUNTER!"
"GO DRATINI!"
"GO NIDOKING!"
"GO MAROWAK!"
"My turn now!" Cried Ash
"BULBASAUR I CHOOSE YOU!" Shouted Ash
"CHARIZ…. Bad idea!"
"SQUIRTLE!"
"PIDGEOTTO!"
"KINGLER!"
"GO ON PIKACHU! YOU DESERVE A REST!"
"STARYU! GO!" Shouted Misty
"STARMIE! GO!"
"HORSEA! GO!"
"GOLDEEN! GO!"
"That's me done!"
"Uh…? Misty? Aren't you forgetting Psyduck?" Said Ash
"Psyduck. Go." Said Misty, wearily
"GO ONIX!" Cried Brock
"GO GEODUDE!"
"GO VULPIX!"
"GO ZUBAT!"
"GO JYNX!" Yelled Victoria
"GO BLASTOISE!"
"GO FLAREON!"
"GO SQUIRTLE!"
"GO MARIL!"
"GO GOLEM!"

"GO POLIWHIRL!" bellowed Sam
"GO POLIWRATH!"
"GO CHARIZARD!"
"GO NIDORINO!"
"GO NIDOQUEEN!"
"GO DITTO!"
"Aren't you taking a few minor tiny risks with that Charizard?"
"No."
"If you're sure."
"SHELLDER! GO!" Shouted Topaz
"RATTATTA! GO!"
"MACHOKE! GO!"
"GRAVELLER! GO!"
"EEVEE! GO!"
"WIGGLYTUFF! GO!"
They walked into a Glasshouse."
"Which glasshouse is this?" Said Jacko, Struggling to get his Nidoking through the door.
"Hmm… looks like a temperate house. NURSE…JOY!" Said Brock in a goofy voice as he zoomed off through a back door.
"What is his problem?" Asked Jemima
"Where's Nurse Joy?" Asked Andre
"He has an in-built Nurse Joy/Officer Jenny detection system." Said Misty
They walked around in the Glasshouse for a while and then went through the door Brock had charged through. There was a desert like scene in the corridor and the Nidoking and Nidoqueen kicked back and put their feet up.
"All right Nidoking! Stay here then!" Said Jacko, smiling
"Just you relax here Nidoqueen!" Said Sam.
There was a little female Nidoran crying out quietly and Brock picked it up. She cried out really loud and practically deafened them.
Just then, a girl with wild red hair came running up practically screaming. She leapfrogged right over Jacko's head, as he had his back to her. She landed down on one knee in front of Brock. She slowly stood up and, once at her full height, gave Brock the hardest left hook under the chin anybody ever saw.
"I think I love you!" Said Jacko joking around.
"I've always wanted to do that!" Said Misty.
Brock started falling over backwards and the Nidoran leapt into the girl's arms. Brock fell on a cactus. He leapt up, hit the ceiling and rolled backwards down a spiral staircase marked 'Beware Staircase' Topaz was rolling around on the floor, laughing her head off. Jemima, who had previously been feeding her Jolteon some cactus spikes, turned around.
"What's going on?"
"SILLABUB! I haven't seen you in ages!"
"Sir Squillabub Willabub to you Jemmi-emmi-ima!
They laughed and carried on walking. Andre was walking along, looking around him, amazed. Then there was a clearing in the bushes. There was a girl, golden hair catching the light. She was drawing a Vileplume. Andre walked into a coconut palm and three coconuts fell on his head. The girl looked at him, giggled and ran over, smiling, to see if Andre was ok. But she veered away, with a look of fear on her face and ran away. Andre was going to go after her, but Topaz kicked him.
"Why, dear brother-of-mine, must you embarrass me wherever we go in some way?" Said Topaz, angrily
"But the girl-" said Andre, a bit dazed still.
"But nothing, Andre." Interrupted Topaz
"Why did she run?"
"Andre, that bump on the head has done something to your brain! You're seeing things!"
"No, he's not. There is a very beautiful girl in here somewhere." Said Brock
"Ah, that's the 'Girl sensor'!" Giggled Jemima
"She's… THIS WAY!"
Brock ran off, with Jemima and Andre close behind. Brock stopped, climbed a huge spiral staircase and ran round a metal walkway. There was another set of stairs and he ran to them. There was a huge palm leaf barring the way, so Brock and Andre ran straight through and Jemima ran under it. Brock charged down the stairs. Jemima and Andre followed. They came to another clearing, next to a pond. Sure enough, there was the girl. But standing over her, fist raised was a young boy in jeans. The others caught up as Andre was rolling up his sleeves, preparing to physically fight they boy if he had to. Topaz jumped in front of Andre, crying
"STOP IT!"
The boy whirled round, and the girl lost her balance. Andre caught her and carried her over to where he'd been standing.
"Who're you stranger?" The boy asked Andre
"What business have you interfering?"
"What business have you hitting this girl?"
"Plenty reason" Shrugged the boy.
"What reasons?"
"Only known to myself"
Andre leapt forward and punched the boy. Topaz leapt forward and slapped Andre to the ground. She knelt down near the boy.
"Jet? Jet wake up!"
"C'mon Jet, wake up!"
"Mmmh?" Said the boy, opening his eyes.
"Oh Jet! You're okay!"
"Ouch." Said the boy holding his hand to his left eye.
"Sorry to smash this pretty picture, but WHAT'S GOIN' ON?" Said Jig
"This is Jetstorm"
"My eye… He gave me a black eye… I'll KILL HIM!"
Andre was just sitting up, saw the look on Jetstorm's face, backed away. He knew Jetstorm!
"Andre! How could you?" Asked Topaz.
"I… I… I… I didn't know… I… I'm sorry"
"But that doesn't explain why you were going to hit… umm…?"
"Scribbles is my name," Said the girl
"She interfered in our business"
"What Business? Who is 'ours'?"
"Me an' my gang."
Jacko rushed forward and hit Jetstorm on the back
"STORMY! Y'seen Tyra?"
"Nope. I ain't seen her since you and I left"
"Now, I'm confused." Said Sam
