Chapter 3: The Search for the Missing

Word around Viridian City spread quickly about the missing boy and his Pokemon. The Viridian-born Cody was kind of a legend to Viridian citizens. He was always helpful and kind. Nobody eer thought anything bad like this would happen. At the Headquarters for the Missing, Michael and Joe were trying to locate him.sort of. Joe was working all day and night to find the missing pair, while Michael was.just there.

While Viridian City was in a panic over the missing two, Blade and Vash were having what they call fun. Pikachu had been knocked unconscious when they used a Super Melon Stick on it. Cody, however, survived the blow from the Super Melon Stick because he had a hard head. Then, they sent out their MelonStickemon. "Go, Gengar-stick!" Blade yelled. "Go, Hitmon- stick!" Vash yelled. Then, two MelonStickemon popped out. One was sort of like a Gengar, just with a stick surrounded by dark, evil eyes, and the other was a combination of Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, and Hitmontop. It had slicers on its stick, which could do brutal damage. Cody, being the curious boy he was, asked, "What are those things and those orange and yellow Poke Balls you two have?" Blade replied, "What are you, a moron? Those are MelonStickemon, and the Poke Balls aren't Poke Balls.they're Melon Balls." Cody understood them. Right before Blade and Vash's MelonStickemon attacked Cody, an explosion was heard in the east direction from the hole. The two shadowed figures (Blade and Vash) went to check it out, but not before tying Cody and Pikachu to a large boulder. "We shouldn't waste our MelonStickemon attacking you," Blade said. Cody breathed a sigh of relief. "Instead, we'll just leave you here.to starve!" Blade and Vash climbed out of the very steep hole and covered it up so Cody wouldn't be found. It was nightfall then, and Cody struggled and struggled to get out of the rope with no success. Would Cody and his Pikachu still live? What was that mysterious explosion? Find out in Chapter 4: Cody's Success.
