CHAPTER 4
` Bubba showed the people waiting in the pokémon center the picture. None of them had seen it. He even showed it to Nurse Joy. Even she hadn't seen it!
"I have an idea Squirtles!" Nurse Joy smiled sweetly at the Squirtles. "Let me make a copy of it, and I'll hang it on my bulletin board. Nurse Joy took the picture and made a copy on her Poké-scanner. She handed it back to Bubba, and the Squirtles left the Pokémon center. As they were leaving, they noticed a small boy playing in with a toy car. He wore a green cap and a bright blue shirt with a smiley face on it. He however, seemed really sad. Bubba gathered the Squirtles around him.
"Squirtles! We must cheer him up!" Bubba decided "What should we do?"
"I know we could…" Squirty started, but was cut off by Steve.
"Let's ask him to play a game with us." Steve said proudly.
It was Dewey's turn to interrupt. "What could we play that he would understand?"
"Leapfrog!" Steve said. The other Squirtles nodded, and went up to the boy. The young boy stared up at them with wide eyes. He had never seen four Squirtles wearing sunglasses before. The Squirtles grew tense and wondered whether the boy would back up and run away. After a long moment he smiled and laughed. The Squirtles started playing leapfrog in an attempt to get the boy to play along. For awhile he just stood and watched. Then as he saw the Squirtles enjoying themselves, he joined in. They laughed and played. Then the boy shared some of his M&Ms with the Squirtles. They had never had M&Ms before, and they all enjoyed the chocolate. After awhile, the Squirtles got tired. It was getting dark anyway, and it was time to get back to Professor Oak's. They waved goodbye to the boy, and turned to go.
"Wait! I wanna play more!" The boy called. The Squirtles looked at Bubba, but he shook his head. The Squirtles waved goodbye again, and continued down the road.
