Chapter Nine: Team Chlorophyll Returns

"Where could it have gone?" asked Jukla.

"I don't know. But I do know it couldn't have flown away if it was in its PokeBall. Someone must have took it."

"We all know who it was."

"You got that right. It must me one of the members of that wicked gang Team Chlorophyll."

"Well, if anyone knew where their hideout was, it would have been in that newspaper."

"Well, then, I guess we're going to have to find it ourselves. We need Articuno."

"But that'll be so hard to do. We're going to need a…a…"

"A what?" asked a voice. But it wasn't Nari's.

Nari and Jukla screamed.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't those twerps who got Articuno. I came by to steal your Pokemon, but then when I heard you talking, I learned that you were the ones who just left Articuno there for me to get."

"What have you done with Articuno?" asked Jukla.

"Yeah," said Nari. "And what have you done to Seafoam Island? Whatever it was, it ran away so fast it turned silver!"

"That's for me to know and you to find out. Later, beginning trainers!" The Team Chlorophyll person ran off.

Nari ran off.

"Nari," called Jukla. "What are you doing?"

"I'm getting back Articuno," said Nari, still running. "Follow me. We need Articuno."

"Okay," said Jukla. She took a deep breath and started running.

They kept going on for hours. They kept going in circles. Normally, kids wouldn't be able to keep up with adults, but when you really want something… Besides, after a while, the person would realize that there was no point in having it if you couldn't use it and give up. And Nari and Jukla had all day.

However, at the same time, Nari and Jukla had no idea what was going on in the devious mind of Team Chlorophyll…
