Chapter 3

Yffum: Hi and welcome to another volume of Poké Isle! Non-members CAN review! I hope you like it so far and I hope you'll like it even when our little pokemon are no longer sailors. Today we are looking at what lies in the tall grass of Verity Lakefront.

Wobbuffet: What are you looking at? (Wobbuffet stares at a bush) What are you looking at?! Answer the question!

Yffum: Uh, Wobbuffet? I'm over here."

Wobbuffet: Oh, there you are! I'll finish with you later (he points at the immobile bush). Laugh all you want, but you will be mine. Mwahahahaha!

Yffum: For the second time, Wobbuffet, I'm over HERE!

Wobbuffet: Oh yeah, okay what do I say again?

Yffum: (slaps forehead) I own nothing, but the fic.

"Magmar!" Electabuzz ran over to the edge and crouched, preparing to leap. Dusknoir put a hand on his shoulder.

"You're electric ability would only make it worse. Let me go." Dusknoir hovered into the water and came out carrying Magmar unconscious.

"Is he okay?" Electabuzz pressed.

"I'm not sure, but you are forgetting the matter at hand.

"Is he okay?" Electabuzz repeated.

Dusknoir sighed. "He doesn't look too good, but that's all I can tell you."

Electabuzz frowned. He turned and faced the grinning gyarados. Without warning he fired a thunder. Gyarados blocked with a tail whip, not sure whether that had been Electabuzz or if it had come from the natural clouds floating above them. Electabuzz saw gyarados's confusion about the lightning's origin and his brain hatched an idea. He just needed to wait for the right moment. The battle went on between him and the gyarados as they attacked each other in turn.

Time passed. Dusknoir noticed Electabuzz's stamina and how he never went to finish gyarados off, but he never said anything. He just watched closely and battled along side him. They battled on and on.

"Is this going anywhere? You're just going to drown. The rain's getting harder and harder and it's going to start thundering again. What's your plan?" the gyarados laughed menacingly. "You're pathetic."

"Say that to my face!" Electabuzz retorted.

It leaned up close to Electabuzz. "Pathetic." Electabuzz smiled and hit him straight in the jaw. Blood spewed from Gyarados's jaw, but not nearly enough to finish him off.

"Thunder!" Electabuzz fired an extremely quick blast with perfect timing. Right then as Electabuzz had predicted Lightning struck directly in between Gyarados and Electabuzz. "'Who needs rocks when you can use bolts?'" As a result oh his perfect execution and delivery Electabuzz's Thunder tripled in watts. The light was blinding, but it happened so quickly. In a flash and before Gyarados even new what just happened he was being tossed backwards and sunk heavily into the deep blue sea. Electabuzz smiled and fell backwards finding himself once again exhausted and hungry.

"Very nice plan." Dusknoir commented and nodded at Electabuzz.

Electabuzz shifted his head uncomfortably and all was silent for a moment. "So how's Magmar?" Wailord echoed.

"Magmar!" Electabuzz got up and ran to his unconscious friend lying on Wailord's back.

"Cheer up, pal!" Wailord assured happily. "Say, is that land I see up ahead… and…-"

"Blue sky!" Electabuzz cheered. It was true. Far off in the distance was a huge piece of land that went along as far as they could see and just above it was blue sky. Electabuzz laughed happily.

They waited about an hour until they reached Africa. It was beautiful and was filled with pokemon of all sorts.

"I'm sorry guys, but I think you'll have to go on without me." Wailord beamed at them as they climbed down, onto the beach. Dusknoir hovered down carrying Magmar.

"Where are you going?" Electabuzz asked.

"Well, I haven't been around Africa too much so I'll probably go exploring there."

Electabuzz smiled and nodded.

"So are you guys going to be okay with Magmar?"

"Hopefully." Dusknoir said.

"Well then. I guess I'll be off. Good-bye Dusknoir. Same to you Electabuzz, best wishes to Magmar." Wailord nodded at each of them and sank into the depths of the ocean. They waited for a while. Relaxing in the nice welcoming sun.

"Well, we better get Magmar…" Electabuzz trailed off.

"Perhaps a parasect would be helpful." Dusknoir suggested. "Come and follow me. There must be one around here."

They walked into the forest, clutching Magmar. A venonat hopped by.

"Excuse me, but do you know parasect or any other pokemon that can help my friend here?" Electabuzz nudged Magmar.

"Oh yeah, there's one that lives in an old tree stump burrow a little East of here. He says to know a lot about medical profession. Word has it that his trainer used to be a doctor."

"Wow, thanks!" Electabuzz smiled and started to walk east. There started to become less and less trees as they went further. They came to a stump that looked as though it had been cut centuries ago. Around the back was a little tunnel leading into a cavern. They managed to crawl inside and found a paras organizing a medicine cabinet. "Ehem." Electabuzz coughed. The small bug pokemon turned around. "We're looking for a parasect.

The paras blinked and stood there for a second. "Parasect!" The paras looked nervously at them and then turned back to organizing. Some pattering sounded from another tunnel and a parasect came out.

"How may I be of assistance?"

"Our friend, Magmar is…" Electabuzz trailed off.

"Ah, I see. How did he get wet?"

"Fight with a, err, gyarados."

Parasect sighed. "Well this is quite frightening."

"What? Is he gonna be okay?"

"…Come into my office."
