The Vampire of Lavendar Town
By Ree-chan Peekster, Dugtrio16, and Dessa
Chapter 8
Monimé City: Dessa was wondering what was up. Chan had said he'd be here 2 days ago. Well, she might as well find out what was going on, so she teleported to the gym, where Brandon SHOULD be teaching a class. He wasn't there, so she teleported to his telepathy classroom, but he wasn't there either. As a last ditch effort, she teleported to his office, but, lo, he wasn't there either. Frustrated, Dessa teleported to the front desk of the school.
"Excuse me, but have you seen Bra-- I mean, Master Brandon?"
"Yes, actually," the desk secretary told her. "He left in a hurry a few days ago. It was something about a friend of his named Chan."
"Arigato. And I will be gone for a few days. Please ask my roommate, Samantha, to record my classes for me."
Dessa teleported back to Brandon's office to snoop, to find some evidence of where he was going. She noticed he hadn't deleted his voice mail, and when she checked it, she found a message from the Nurse Joy of Lavender Town to Brandon, about something serious with Chan. Dessa figured that's where she would find him, so she teleported to the gym, got some supplies, and teleported to Lavender Town.

Brandon concentrated for a moment trying to remember. "Where does this path lead?" David called.
"Um... to a cave in the mountain..." Brandon recalled.
"What mountain?" Nishu asked. "I can't see anything above these trees.
Brandon smiled. "It's not a big mountain. We'll have to go there and through the cave to get up on top of the mountain. There's a field up there that has the flowers that Victor wants."
"I just thought of something... wasn't Dessa saying something about meeting Chan?" David asked.
"Who's Dessa?" Ben questioned.
"One of Chan's friends," Brandon replied. "Um... yes she was... which means we'll probably run into her fairly soon."
"Where?" Ben asked.
"Probably when we get back to Lavender Town." David nodded. He rummaged around in his backpack for a moment and produced three flashlights. He handed one to Brandon and one to Nishu keeping the other for himself.
"I still haven't gotten my backpack back," Brandon said shaking his head as he turned the flashlight on. Brandon started down the path. Ben followed him. Behind him was David followed by Sarah, with Nishu bringing up the rear. The trees rustled on each side of the path indicating pokémon moving around.
"Pika," a Pikachu said walking out of the bushes. Brandon stopped and watched it continue on its way before moving on.
"There!" he said after a few minutes. In front of them was a small mountain. At the foot of it was the opening to a large cave.
"Let's go," David sighed after a moment.
*******
Dessa overtaxed herself teleporting all the way to Lavender Town, and she was feeling the folly of that now. She stumbled into the Pokémon center, and almost into Nurse Joy, who had seen her teleport in. Nurse Joy helped her to a couch, where she forced her to lay down, since she was about to pass out anyway. Dessa tried to get up, but Nurse Joy held her down, gesturing to Chansey to go get something. When Chansey returned with a syringe, Nurse Joy injected Dessa with it, causing her to calm down. Before she fell asleep, Dessa was only able to get one thing out: "I'm looking for Chan Liu."
*******
When Dessa awoke she asked Joy if she had seen Chan.
Nurse Joy frowned. "Chan?" she asked hesitating.
"What's wrong?" Dessa asked.
"Chan died a couple days ago. But his body disappeared. His friends Ben, Brandon, and David went to the Tower, despite the fact that I didn't want them to, in hopes of recovering it. They then came back all pale and frightened. That's where they met up with his father and his sister. I believe they went back to the Tower."
"So that's where Brandon went. Why didn't he tell me?!" Dessa growled. Then she decided that she could yell at him later for it. "Nurse Joy," she said. "You're probably going to not want me to, but I'm going to the Tower. However, I'll teleport to the safety zone first."
"Be careful.." Joy warned knowing that she couldn't stop Dessa from doing it.
"I will."

Yay!! Dessa finally showed up!!! And no, this isn't self-insertion. I took this screen name because of the character... so it's self-extraction (I came out of the stories).
