Chapter 3: The Ditto Man
Leaf ran quickly to the edge of town and stopped, trying to catch her breath.
"Leaf!" She heard two voices calling her. She turned around to see Gary and Ash running twords her. Ash had something in a hammock tied to his back and Gary was trying to pull something out of his pants pocket while running.
"What?" She asked, still breathless. She couldn't rest for long though, because she had to get to the pokemon. Both the boys caught up to her and Gary pulled a pokeball from his pocket, handing it to her. She didn't take it.
"You're going to save the pokemon, too? Right?" Gary asked, trying to hand her the pokeball again.
She was confused for a moment, then she understood. "You too?" She cried, taking the pokeball.
"Yeah!" Ash cried, "This pokemon is to protect you on our journey! So use it well!" He showed her a pokeball gary gave him.
"What's on your back?" Leaf asked, suddenly curious.
Ash smiled. "This is Molly!" He said, turning his body so she could see Molly's head peaking out of the hammock, "She's coming with us!"
"Whatever, Ashy!" Said Gary, silencing him, "We need to get going!"
And so they went. Not stopping to do anything but care for Molly. They eventually made it to Cerulean City, where they met a girl with spiky red hair.
"I'm Misty!" She had exclaimed, "I'm going to find the hurt pokemon, too!"
"You can come with us!" Leaf said, taking one of the pokeballs from Gary's bag and handing it to her.
Misty took out her own sister's pokeball, refusing the one Leaf was trying to hand to her. "I've got my own." She said.
Ash dropped his pokeball and it released a Pichu. The Pichu looked around, startled. It let out a shock of thunder and looked at everyone fearfully. "My tryke!" Misty screamed, looking at her burnt trycycle.
"It's okay, Pichu, we won't hurt you." Ash said softly to it, holding out his Pichu walked slowly to Ash and ran up his arm, resting himself on Ash's shoulder.
They all headed through Cerulean City, Misty grumbling something the entire time. It wasn't long until they had made it to a large boat dock.
"To Hoenn we go!" Gary announced. He ran to the largest boat and ran up the ramp while the man standing in front of it wasn't looking. He waved to everyone from the top. Everyone followed suit. They all diverted the man's attention rather easily and they could all board quickly.
The night soon fell and the children all grew tired. They had no place to sleep on the ship, though. Just after the boat set off for Hoenn, an attendent had found them. "Hey! What are you kids doing here?" She had yelled, chasing them around the deck. They ran all over, trying to split up. Eventually, though, they had landed in the same place.
A man stepped in front of them, gaurding them from the attendent. He was a tall man in an extravagent suit with salt and pepper hair. "They're with you?" The attendent asked doubtfully, looking at his suit then looking at the children's dirty, wrinkled clothing. The man nodded, not saying a word. The attendent said, "Then bring them back to their cabin!" He nodded again.
When the attendent was gone, the man turned around and looked at the children. He handed them a single piece of paper that said 'Follow', and the children did. They followed him down the hallways of suites and eventually stopped at one at the very end. The man opened the door and ushered them all inside.
It was a large room with big beds and a full bathroom off to the side. There was a mini fridge stuffed with snacks and items for meals. Inside the door was another boy around their age. "I'm Brock!" He said, waving at them. The man closed the door behind him.
Leaf started to point at everyone. "I'm Leaf, that's Misty, that's Ash, and that's Gary!" She said, smiling.
The man walked in front of them and started to morph. He squished up and down a few times until he was a regular Ditto. He had a stack of paper in one hand and a pencil in the other. 'I am to get you children safely to Hoenn. Then guide you to your allies.' He wrote. He slid under the door and wasn't seen again.
It was then that Leaf's stomac growled. She grinned and rubbed the back of her head.
And so they ate! They had a large meal, curtosy of Brock cooking some of the fridge food. After eating, they all went to bed, girls in one bed, boys in the other. They all fell asleep quickly and didn't wake up until they heard the singnaling of the boat docking. The Ditto was there in their room, waiting for them to hurry along.
Once off the ship, the Ditto took them through many places, eventually ending up in what it said to be Petalburg City. He left them at the edge of the city, leaving them one small box. The outside said to not open it.
