Chapter 7: The Pokemon

" Where is the Lugia located, Mal? " asked Martin after I explained to him about Team Magma.

" Somewhere in the Swirl Islands in the Johto region, " I replied.

Just then Martin had turned the TV on and a news report was on.

" Hello and welcome to Channel 73 News. Yesterday morning there was a report of a strange Pokemon flying around the Johto region. Then last night there was a report very similar to that in the Hoenn region. 'It was white with purple scales on its back. ' reported the person from Johto. The person in Hoenn said the same thing. "

Then Martin turned off the TV.

" Obviously Lugia is not in the Swirl Islands anymore, " he said.

" Team Magma must want the Silver Wing to capture Lugia for themselves, " I explained.

" I recorded that news broadcast yesterday afternoon. The Pokemon that they are talking about must be Lugia, " fineshed Martin.

" Yeah, I think you are right, " I agreed.

'Ding' went the front doors bell.

" Hello? " asked a male's voice I recognized as my friend Josh Sutton.

" I'll be right out, " called Martin.

" Hey Josh, " I said as I walked out there.

" Hey Mal. What are you doing here? " he asked.

" Hiding from Siryn, " I replied.

" Well too bad 'cause here she comes, " he added.

" Aww poop monkeys. I was hoping she wouldn't come in, " I whined.

" Go hide then, Mal, " Josh said as he was laughing his pants off about the poop monkeys thing I said.

" Hi Josh, hi Mal, " I heard Siryn say.

" Hey Siryn, " replied Josh.

" Hi, " I replied.

" Whatcha doin? " she asked.

" Buying PokeBalls, " answered Josh.

" Nuttin, just hangin out with my friend, Martin, " I answered as Martin came out from the back room.

" Hiya Siryn. How may I help you? " Martin asked Siryn.

" Hey Martin. Mal says that you are her friend. What's that about? " asked Siryn.

" Oh ah, she came in here yesterday morning and I commented on how well her Smoochum's fur is groomed, " explained Martin.

" Oh OK, " replied Siryn as she bought some UltraBalls.

" What are you gettin' jealous? " asked Josh.

" No why would I? " asked Siryn.
