The Vampire of Lavendar Town

Chapter 7
Nishu, Ben, Brandon, and David looked at the tower once more. "Do you think Count Victor will keep his word?" Sarah asked.
"I think he will," replied Nishu. "He seems like the type of person who would keep it."
Ben nodded, "In a way, this is kinda fun. I mean it would be if it weren't such a life-or-death situation. I've never been involved in a 'three tasks' type of thing."
"What time is it?" asked David.
Nishu glanced at his watch. "Seven thirty," he replied.
"We need to get to Cinnabar Island as soon as possible," David said. "We only have two weeks to do three tasks. This one doesn't seem that hard, but who knows what the others will be like."
"It seems that the quickest way to get there," Ben added, "is to use a Pokémon. I have a Pidgeot, but it can't take all five of us at once."
"I could teleport us," Nishu said.
David stared at Nishu. "I didn't know you were psychic," he said.
Brandon grinned. "It's amazing what you find out about people when you're in a bad situation."
Ben decided to get back on the subject. "Does anyone know where the island he's talking about is?"
"There's several..." Brandon said.
"Do you know which one has the flower?" David asked.
"Yes," Brandon replied. "But like Victor said, it's rare. I've only seen it once and that was when I was a kid. It was by accident too. I was lost."
Nishu, Brandon, and David prepared to teleport. Sarah and Ben grabbed hold of someone and the group teleported. They appeared on the southern docks of Cinnabar.
"See that island up ahead?" Brandon asked.
"Yes," Nishu replied.
"The island we're looking for is behind it."
"Okay," David said. "Now how do we get a boat?"
"Actually," Ben said, "I can take care of that." He took a Pokéball, reared up, and tossed it into the water. Out popped a larger-than-average Lapras. He addressed the Pokémon, "Lapras, do you think you can carry us all?"
"Yes," replied the water Pokémon.
"Wow," Sarah said, "I didn't know Lapras' could talk."
"It's a telepathic thing," Lapras told her. It lined up with the dock. "Hop on," she told everyone. Ben did just that, hopped on, and the rest gingerly stepped onto its back. "Where are we heading, Ben?" she asked.
"Actually, I'm not sure. Ask Brandon," Ben answered.
"You see that island out there a ways?" Brandon asked, pointing out to sea. "We need to go to an island past that. And hurry, we need to get there ASAP."
"No problem," Lapras replied, "just hang on tight." With that, she rocketed away from Cinnabar Island.
"This is the only way to travel," David quipped through gritted teeth, as he clung to one of the spikes in Lapras's shell.
Moments later, Lapras was around the island. There lay a very small island, with a dense forest covering it. "Is that it," Lapras asked.
"Yeah," Brandon replied.
Lapras slowed down and flopped onto the beach. Everyone hopped off. "Thanks a lot Lapras," Ben said and he held out a Pokéball. A red beam shot out and Lapras disappeared. Ben turned to Brandon. "Where to now?"
