Chapter Two: The Search Continues

"Thanks Pidgeot," Ash said, patting his bird pokemon in thanks. He returned him to his pokeball and started looking for the Vaporeon. "Now if I were a Vaporeon, where would I be?" Ash said, voicing his thoughts out loud. "Pikapi! Pika chupika!" Pikachu exclaimed, pointing at a blue tail sticking out of a nearby bush. "Look Pikachu! It's a Vaporeon!" Ash whispered, pointing to it. He tiptoed over to it and poked it cautiously. "Vaporeon?" The blue pokemon stuck its head out of the bush questioningly. "I would like to catch you for a very good friend of mine. She loves water pokemon, and has always wanted a Vaporeon. Would you like to come with me?" Ash said. The Vaporeon nodded and Ash pulled out a pokeball. This pokeball didn't look like the usual red and gray pokeballs. Instead, it was blue on the top and teal on the bottom. "A friend of mine named Kurt made this pokeball especially for catching a Vaporeon," Ash explained to the Vaporeon, who was sniffing the ball curiously. The Vaporeon nodded again and pressed the button on the pokeball with its nose and was enveloped with the familiar red light. "Ok Pikachu. Let's go back and show Brock Misty's present," Ash said. He clipped the pokeball onto his belt and let out his Pidgeot again. "Let's go home Pidgeot."

"..Whew..It's been a long..time..since I..pedaled a bike this far," Misty said, panting with effort. "Aha! There it is! The Power Plant!" Misty said happily. She parked her bike out front when she saw a few men running up to each other excitedly. "Did you get rid of it yet?" The first man asked. "What, that stray Jolteon? No, not yet. Everyone's too scared of it to go near it," The second man said. "Excuse me sirs, but did I hear you say a stray Jolteon was hanging around here?" Misty asked the two men. They nodded and she explained her plan to catch the Jolteon and give it to a good friend for Valentine's Day. The men nodded and introduced themselves. "I'm Vince, and this is my partner Erik," The first man said. "I'm Misty Waterflower. Now let's see...Hey! There it is! The Jolteon!" Misty said excitedly. She walked over to the Jolteon and kneeled down to its height, knowing that if she stood up it might intimidate the Jolteon and frighten it off. "Jolt?" The Jolteon heard her and came out from behind the generator that it had been hiding behind. "Jolteon, I need your help. See, today is Valentine's Day and I want to give my best friend Ash a present. He's always wanted a Jolteon. I was wondering if you'd like to be his pokemon? I swear he's really nice and caring and understanding..but anyway will you?" Misty asked. The Jolteon nodded happily and Misty took out an unusual pokeball from her bookbag. It was a bright yellow on top and a goldenrod color on the bottom. The Jolteon understood what it was expected to do, and so it pressed the button on the pokeball and was surrounded by the all-too familiar red light. "Thank you so much, Ms. Waterflower. You have no idea how much you've helped us today. We could've lost our jobs," Erik said greatfully. Misty nodded and got on the bike she had borrowed from Ash and pedaled off, waving her goodbye to the two new friends she had made.
