Pokemon Detectives: Origins
Chapter Two
Jarrad: Again, I don't own Pokemon!
Ash, Misty, Brock, Pikachu and I were in the cafeteria eating breakfast. I was just eating some cereal while the others were eating pancakes with sausage patties. I thought, "Why would anyone take all my stuff? It doesn't make any sense. If my stuff isn't here, it's almost like I never came here!" Pikachu looked at me and said "Is something wrong?" I said "No, but I'm just thinking about how were going to make it once were escorted off campus. We're not students here. Well, I was, but now it's like I never was a student at this campus." Misty looked at me and said "It is going to be hard, but we will make it through this." I looked at her and nodded silently, then went back to eating my cereal. As soon as we were found by campus safety, we were escorted off of the campus and we just stood there. I motioned for them to follow me. We went across the street and we walked towards the intersection of university drive and Church Street. While we were walking, I heard movement in the grass. I stopped and looked in the field, waiting for whatever or whoever it was to make their move. Ash asked, "What do you think it is?" because he, misty, brock, and pikachu heard the sound too. I quietly said to them in the eevee language, "I don't know, but we need to stay calm." We watched the grass until the grass wasn't rustling anymore. Pikachu said, "We need to find out what was going on in there!" I agreed and we went into the grass. We hadn't gotten any more than ten feet into the grass when a gun was fired in our direction! We dropped onto the ground and heard the bullets go by us. The bullets stopped and we got up. Just then, we heard a voice say "Do you think you can help me out here?" We turned around and we saw someone else like us, but this guy was an espeon. I had an idea as I said, "Yeah, we can help you. By the way, you look good as a pokemon, Gary." Ash just looked at the espeon and then asked me how I knew it was him. I replied "It's not that hard. I knew it was him because of his voice. Also, the pendant around his neck is also a dead giveaway!" Gary walked over to us and said, "I can't believe that you're a pikachu, ashy-boy!" He then looked at me and misty. He said "You two would make good cheerleaders for me!" Misty said "Sorry, gary. But, we have other plans." I led the gang, Gary included, deeper into the grass. As soon as we got to the middle of the field, I tripped over something. I looked at what my feet were on, and I almost screamed at the top of my lungs. I was looking at a dead body. I put my hand on my nose because I was getting as strange smell, but I then realized I smelled fresh blood. I looked at the body more closely and I started to look him over. I turned the body onto his back and I saw that the guy had something sticking him right in his heart. Gary knelt beside the body and asked, "What are those?" I said "I don't know, but we need to tell the McKinney police about this."
As soon as we were at the McKinney police station, we waited to talk to an officer about what we saw. Ash looked at gary and said "You look like a girl pokemon!" Gary would have made a quick remark, but he knew ash was right. Just then, an officer came over to us and said "My name's Officer Jackson. I'm a part of the homicide division at the department. Which one of you is Jarrad?" I slowly raised my hand. The officer said, "Would you like to tell me what happened?" I was surprised that he didn't faint, but I went to fill him in about the dead body and the strange needles in his heart. Officer Jackson said, "That is strange. Where is the body?" I told him where it was and how to find it. He said "Thank you. Your help just gave us some clues as to what's happening to people recently." I asked, "Why hasn't the public heard about this?" He said, "If they had, the city would be in panic! People would be afraid to go outside!" I said "Thanks. But, I have another question for you. Are you even the least bit curious as to why we look like this?" He looked us over and said "The thought had crossed my mind, but I make it a point not to dig into peoples personal business." I snapped back "But, you're a cop! Don't you do that anyway?" He was about to say something when, surprise, another pokemon-human hybrid walked in. I noticed the hair and the outfit. I said, "Officer Jenny, is that you?" The person who walked in looked at us and said, "Yes, I'm officer jenny. Who are you?" I knew this particular jenny because I helped her solve a case in Viridian City once! I said, "I hope you're not thinking about greeting an old friend with just a hello!" She came up to me and looked at me. I looked at her and knew she was a growlithe. She looked at my body, and then she looked at my eyes. She then realized who I was! She hugged me in excitement and said, "Jarrad, I'm glad to see you. But, how did you become an eevee, and female?" I said, "It's a long story! How about we get some lunch and talk it over?" We all agreed.
We walked down Church Street to Burger King to get some lunch. I finished telling jenny about the body we found in the field. She said, "That's really interesting. I don't know what the police can do, but I bet there's plenty that we can do." I nodded, and then asked jenny "How long have you been here in my world?" Jenny answered "I've been here for about a couple of weeks. But, there's something wrong, I know it!" We stopped at an intersection. Across the street from us was our lunch destination, Burger King. When we got the walk signal, we walked across the street to the restraunt. When we got to the door, Gary said, "Don't go in there! The door is rigged with a bomb!" I said, "C'mon, girls! Let's go!" As we left the restraunt, jenny asked me why we left. I explained to her that espeon has the ability to see into the future. I looked at gary and said "Wanna know what you just did? You saved us from getting killed!" We were walking past Long John Silver's when we heard an explosion. Gary looked at me and said "Whoa!" I looked at jenny and asked her "Shall we investigate?" Jenny nodded and we all started back to BK when a car sped past us. I looked at the license plates and said "Jenny, call the department and tell them we may have an ID on the getaway vehicle."
Back at the McKinney police station, Jenny and I were talking to the police captain. Jenny had explained what happened to the restraunt. The captain looked at me and said "Did you get a look at the plates, young lady?" I nodded. "The license plate number was DFH-9O5." I told him. He said "Thank you for your cooperation. Jenny, you can have some time off to hang out with your friends. We'll look into this." jenny nodded and she told me she'd talk to me and the others outside the police station.
We were all sitting on a bench in front of the station, talking. I said "Jenny, isn't it strange that your captain gave you time off to spend with us? If you ask me, there's something rotten about that guy, and it's not his aftershave, although, you could probably arrest him on the charge of 'Murder by cologne knock-off'!" Jenny just laughed and said "You do have good points about the aftershave and him giving me time off. But, why would he have anything to do with the bombing?" Ash said, "He might be a part of it, and he needed time to cover his tracks!" Jenny looked at ash and said, "Not a bad theory, ash. But, I'm thinking there's someone else behind it." There was silence in our group for about five minutes when pikachu spoke up. "Why don't we follow the police captain person and see what he does when he's not working?" Jenny said, "That's a good idea, pikachu. Let's do it!" Jenny told us all to meet back at the station at six o'clock tonight.
We all sat on the bench as jenny explained the plan to us. "Okay, we're going to split up into two teams. Misty, Jarrad, Gary and I will be Team One. Ash, Brock, and pikachu will be team two. Now, We'll need to find a way to keep in touch without the captain knowing about it." Gary spoke up. "We can use my new psychic abilities to keep in touch. I can use them to keep track of ashy-boy and his team." I then said, "Jenny, I have a better idea. The girls on one team, and the guys on another team." Jenny agreed as we went over the rest of the plan for tonight.
Our plan was put into action as soon as the captain left for the evening. It was five minutes after seven PM and Jenny, Misty and I were following him the best we could in an unmarked police cruiser. We followed him to the McKinney Public Memorial Library and we knew we couldn't go in because he'd recognize us right off. So, we decided to let him go in and do his business in the library. A few minutes later, he came out with four books in his arms. At around Nine-Fifteen, We let Ash, Gary, Brock, and Pikachu follow him. We were hoping there would be something we could go on after this night.
It was twelve-thirty in the morning and everybody was asleep except for me. I was looking over the notes of our plan, hoping I would find something we might have missed. But, so far this guy looked as clean as a freshly bathed vulpix. I skimmed through the ten o'clock hour where the guys followed him and then caught something. They lost sight of him at ten-twenty, but found him again at ten thirty-five. I wondered how they lost him for fifteen minutes. I then yawned and decided to talk it over with them during breakfast. I picked up all the notes and put them in a manila folder, then headed off to get a pillow and blanket.
