I said holding Jewel's hand.</div> <div> "I don't have a girl," Keith said.</div> <div> "Well maybe if you would be a little less `Keith' you could get one," Jewel said smiling.</div> <div> "It's just that," he said his voice trailing off not realizing Jewel had just made fun of him.</div> <div> We were almost to Cerulean City; from there we would head to the Dark Cave and then to Lavender Town.</div> <div> "I just realized something," Keith said.  "Isn't Bubbles in Cerulean City?"</div> <div> "Yes," I said slowly.</div> <div> "YES!" he screamed.</div> <div> "What is with him?" Jewel said.</div> <div> "I have a second shot at the Sensational Sisters," he said smiling.</div> <div> "I never knew he got a first shot," Jewel said.</div> <div> ^We're almost there ^ Chikorita said running back to where we were.</div> <div> "I can tell," I said seeing the buildings appear in the horizon.</div> <div> "I just love this Love Ball," Jewel said looking at the ball then at me.</div> <div> ^Oh brother^ Chikorita said.</div> <div> We finally reached the city and where heading towards the Pokémon Center when a little girl came up to us. </div> <div> "Excuse me," she said.</div> <div> "Yes," I said.</div> <div> "Are you Chris?" she said.</div> <div> "Umm…yes," I said.</div> <div> "Your Marril is inside," she said pointing at the center.</div> <div> "She is?" I said.</div> <div> "Yes," the little girl said then she turned and walked away.</div> <div> We walked inside the center to find Nurse Joy their holding Bubbles.</div> <div> "Bubbles?" I said.</div> <div> ^Chris^ she said looking up and seeing me.</div> <div> "Bubbles!" I yelled running up to her and picking her up and hugging her.</div> <div> ^Hey Bubbles^ Chikorita said running to us.</div> <div> "Chris," Nurse Joy said. "Yo-"</div> <div> Keith jumped in front of Nurse Joy and started looking at her with a Magnifying glass, "Hmmm," he said pointing it in her face.</div> <div> "I still don't see how they can tell the difference between each other," Keith said.</div> <div> Jewel walked up to where Keith was and punched him in the kidney then dragged him out of the way.</div> <div> "You can't do that," he said holding his side.  "Now I will be pissing blood!"</div> <div> "What were you saying Nurse Joy?" I said.</div> <div> "Your Marril has been," she paused then looked over at Bubbles.  "Maybe you should talk to the Sensational Sisters."</div> <div> "Okay," I said.</div> <div> "I have to go check on some of the other Pokémon now," she said walking to the back.</div> <div> "Bubbles what has been going on?" I said looking at her.</div> <div> ^Ummmm…nothing^ she said smiling at me.</div> <div> "I think maybe it is time for us to take a walk to the gym," I said.</div> <div> ^You don't have to do that^ she said.  ^I can find my own way there. ^</div> <div> On our way to the gym everyone we passed gave me a look like I was a criminal or something.</div> <div> ^What's with the looks? ^ Chikorita said.</div> <div> "I don't-" I bumped into someone.  "Sorry I did-"</div> <div> "Hey!" he said.  He was huge I had to look straight up to see his face.  "You're Chris!"</div> <div> "Yes," I said a little intimidated by this guy's size.</div> <div> "Your stupid Pokémon are going to pay!" he yelled kicking Chikorita and Bubbles.</div> <div> "Hey you can't do that!" I yelled.</div> <div> "You can't go around teaching your Pokémon to steal!" he said.  "Now you will pay!" he yelled throwing a Pokéball.</div> <div> "Machamp!" the Pokémon yelled.</div> <div> "Steal?" I said confused.</div> <div> "What is he talking about?" Jewel said.</div> <div> "Body Slam!" he yelled.</div> <div> His Pokémon jumped up in the air about to crush me with its massive size.</div> <div> "Chris!" Jewel yelled.</div> <div> I closed my eyes not wanting to see the Pokémon land on top of me.  Then I realized that I wasn't in pain I opened my eyes to see Machamp frozen solid.</div> <div> "Your stupid Marril is going to pay for that!" the man yelled calling back his Machamp and throwing another Pokéball.</div> <div> "Pinsir!" the Pokémon yelled.</div> <div> "Crush this thief!" he yelled.</div> <div> "STOP!!!!!!!!" I heard Officer Jenny yell as she stopped her motorcycle and jumped off her bike.</div> <div> "Officer this guy here just attacked Chris and called him a thief," Jewel said.</div> <div> "You're Chris?  Chris Shockley," she said.</div> <div> "Yes I am," I said still looking at the guy who attacked me.</div> <div> "You will have to come with me for questioning," she said.</div> <div> "What?" I said.</div> <div> "What about him?" Jewel said pointing to my attacker.</div> <div> "Go home," was all she said.</div> <div> He left and I was sent handcuffed along with Bubbles and was taken to Police Station.  I was put in the interrogation room where Officer Jenny asked me questions.</div> <div> "Where were you 2 weeks ago?" she asked.</div> <div> "In Vermillion City."</div> <div> "Why were you there?"</div> <div> "To win a badge."</div> <div> "Why did you leave your Marril with the sisters?</div> <div> "She wanted to stay to become a star at the gym."</div> <div> "Why do you have your Marril go around stealing Pokéballs and other property from other people?"</div> <div> "What are you talking about?"  I said puzzled.</div> <div> "We have proof of your Marril stealing," she said turning on a T.V.</div> <div> On the screen there was a store with a broken window and out of the window Bubbles climbed out holding a whole bunch of stuff.  She then walked off the property with the things.</div> <div> "See, so don't lie to me!" Officer Jenny said raising her voice.</div> <div> "But I don't kno-" another officer opened the door.</div> <div> "Take him away," Officer Jenny said.</div> <div> The officer took Bubbles and me to a jail cell and left us there.</div> <div> "What is going on?" I said to her.</div> <div> "Ma Ma Marril," she said.</div> <div> "Stop I forgot they took my Pokégear away," I said depressed.</div> <div> Things were going so well, I was going out with Jewel and this happens.</div> <div> "Bubbles did you really do those things?" I asked.</div> <div> She shook her head no.  She looked depressed just like me.</div> <div> "If you didn't do it…" I thought about it for a moment.  "Were busting out of here!"</div> <div> "Ma!" she said surprised.</div> <div> "If you didn't do it then you didn't do it and I am going to figure out who did!" I said looking around the cell.  "Man if only I had my Pokémon."</div> <div> "Mar," Bubbles said getting up looking at the bars then using Ice Beam to freeze them.</div> <div> "What is-" I said.</div> <div> She took a few steps back before she used Roll Out on the Ice up bars they broke on impact.</div> <div> "Lets go!" I said following.</div> <div> "Hey what is going on in here?!" Officer Jenny said opening the door.  "Hey you're under arrest!" she yelled as her Growlithe used a Flamethrower attack to stop us.</div> <div> "Bubbles Water Gun!" I yelled.</div> <div> The water gun cut through the Flamethrower and hit Growlithe hurting it badly.</div> <div> "Run!" I yelled to Bubbles, but Officer Jenny jumped in front of us.</div> <div> "Stop!" she said pulling out her gun but Bubbles used Ice Beam to freeze the gun to Officer Jenny's hand she couldn't fire it.</div> <div> "Okay now we run!" I said taking off with Bubbles right behind me.</div> <div> Okay I admit it was a stupid idea to run away from the cops makes you look really guilty but I didn't know what to do and besides I had a plan.</div> <div> "Okay now that were out what do we do?" I asked Bubbles.</div> <div> "Ma marril ril," she said.</div> <div> "Why am I asking you?  I can't even understand what you are saying!"  "Okay think Chris think…I know we can go and set up a steak out for that imposter and catch him in the act," I said smiling.</div> <div> "Ma Marril," she said hugging me.</div> <div> Officer Jenny said that Bubbles would steal Pokéballs and other stuff and the best place to steak out would be the Gym.  We stacked out the place for what seemed like forever until I saw a window in the center break and Bubbles run out.  Well not exactly Bubbles but it looked just like her.</div> <div> "But how?" I said amazed.</div> <div> "Marril!" my Pokémon yelled tackling the imposter.</div> <div> "Hey!" a female voice yelled jumping out of the bushes.</div> <div> She was wearing all black like a cat burglar.</div> <div> "Ahh!" I yelled tackling her.  "You're the one framing me and Bubbles!"</div> <div> She kicked me off her.  "Yes so?" she looked around to see sirens in the distance.  "Got to go," she started to run away and her Marril followed her.</div> <div> "Marril!" my Pokémon said using Ice Beam freezing the ground causing the girl to slip and fall.</div> <div> "Ditto transform into a Pikachu!" she yelled.</div> <div> "Ditto?" I had never heard of a Pokémon like that.</div> <div> "Dit," it said glowing and shifting when it stopped it looked like a Pikachu.</div> <div> "Thunderbolt!" she yelled.</div> <div> "Pika," the Ditto said using Thunderbolt.</div> <div> "Bubbles look out!" I yelled but it was too late she got hit with the attack.</div> <div> "Now Pidgeot!" the girl yelled.</div> <div> "Dit," her Pokémon said transforming into a Pidgeot.  She jumped on the Pokémon's back and flew away.</div> <div> "Come back!" I yelled.</div> <div> "Chris Shockley your under arrest!" Officer Jenny yelled.  "Turn around slowly."</div> <div> I did what she said.  She handcuffed me and took me back to the Precinct. </div> <div> "Nurse Joy took Bubbles to the Pokémon Center," Keith said looking at me from behind the bars.</div> <div> "I didn't do it!  Tell her to look at the tape!" I said.</div> <div> "I did," Officer Jenny said appearing from the back.</div> <div> "All the charges have been dropped," Jewel, said tears in her eyes.</div> <div> "Thanks," I said when Officer Jenny open the cell.  "All your Pokémon are at the center.  I am so sorry."</div> <div> "That's okay," I said.</div> <div> "But we are still going to have to hold Bubbles in custody until we find this Cat burglar," she said.</div> <div> "Don't you mean Ditto burglar?" Keith said.</div> <div> "But she didn't do anything the video tape shows that?" I said.</div> <div> "Still we have to be positive," she said.  "Also I would not leave the city if I were you."</div> <div> "Don't worry I'm not leaving until this case is solved," I said.</div> <div> "Right Shockley," Keith said pulling out a yellow trench coat and a notepad.</div> <div> "Keith, are you okay?" Jewel said.</div> <div> We went back to the Pokémon Center, where all my Pokémon and my stuff where waiting.</div> <div> "Ditto," I said typing in the name into my Pokédex.</div> <div> <Ditto a Transform Pokémon. Ditto is double trouble! It has the amazing ability to copy the form and powers of it's opponent. Transform is it's only technique, but it's all Ditto needs. Once it has transformed into another Pokémon, it can use the Pokémon's strongest techniques. But be careful, no one is sure whether Ditto can match its opponents power levels too. <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >></FONT></div> <div> "Great, so that is a Ditto," I said.</div> <div> "All we have to do is catch this Ditto in the act," Keith said.</div> <div> "Oh my," Nurse Joy said running to us.</div> <div> "The gym is under attack!" she yelled.</div> <div> "What!" I yelled.</div> <div> "Lets go!" Keith yelled running out the Pokémon Center.</div> <div> We followed him all the way to gym.  The front door of the gym was blown off.</div> <div> "What is going on here?!" Jewel yelled.</div> <div> "What is going on here?" Melissa said.</div> <div> "Were taking over the gym," Matthew said.</div> <div> "Yes that's right," Gem said.</div> <div> "Gem!" Keith said anger in his voice.</div> <div> "Raichus attack," she yelled.</div> <div> "She has two Raichus?" Jewel said.</div> <div> "Fine then," I said pulling out two Pokéballs and throwing them.</div> <div> "Rhyhorn."</div> <div> "Chika."</div> <div> "Tackle them!" I yelled.</div> <div> "Ditto transform into Chikorita!" I heard Gem yell.</div> <div> "She is the Ditto bugular?!" Jewel said surprised.</div> <div> "Of course.  Now Razor Leaf!" she yelled.</div> <div> "Chika," her Ditto said using the attack hitting Rhy knocking it out.</div> <div> "What?! Return!" I yelled calling him back.</div> <div> "Raichu Thunderbolt."</div> <div> "RIACHUUUUU!!!!" her Pokémon yelled using the devastating attack knocking Chikorita out.</div> <div> "I will help," Jewel said throwing her Pokéball.</div> <div> "Eevee."</div> <div> "Chikorita," I said calling her back.</div> <div> "Don't worry we will help," Melissa said throwing her Pokéball.</div> <div> "Growlithe."</div> <div> "Flamethrower," she yelled.</div> <div> "Mimic," Jewel yelled.</div> <div> The two Pokémon used the fire attacks.</div> <div> "This is crazy," I said.</div> <div> "Raichu finish the Pokémon in this gym off!" Gem yelled.</div> <div> "No!" the sensational sisters said at once.</div> <div> "CHUUU!" her Pokémon yelled using the Thunderbolt attack at the water Pokémon at the gym all the water Pokémon screamed in pain.</div> <div> "No stop," I yelled calling out Shadow.</div> <div> "Stop that Raichu with Sleep Powder!" I yelled.</div> <div> "Veno," my Pokémon yelled shaking itself making the blue powder fall over Raichu making the Pokémon fall asleep.</div> <div> "No you can't do that!" Gem yelled.  "Ditto transform!"</div> <div> "Quick use Sleep Powder," I yelled.</div> <div> "Veno," my Pokémon said using Sleep Powder on her Ditto and her they both fell asleep.</div> <div> "Growlithe don't stop!" I heard Melissa yelled.  I turned around to see her Pokémon pass out and the Flamethrower from Eevee's Mimic attack hit Team Rocket sending them flying away.</div> <div> "Why didn't you help?" Melissa said.</div> <div> "I forgot?" Matthew said.</div> <div> "Were blasting off again," they said.</div> <div> "I always wanted to say that," Matthew said his voice fading away.</div> <div> Officer Jenny came a little too late to help but she arrest Gem and her Ditto and released my Marril and dropped the charges.</div> <div> "All in a days work for Keith master Detective," he said with a smile on his face.</div> <div> "You didn't do anything!" Jewel said.</div> <div> "Thank you so much for saving our gym," one of the sisters said.</div> <div> "Well it was nothing," I said.</div> <div> ^Chris I want to come back^ Bubbles said.</div> <div> "What?!  You can't go!" another sister said.</div> <div> ^It was fun and all but now that Chris came back to visit I want to go back, I miss him^ she said.</div> <div> ^And…^ Chikorita said.</div> <div> ^And Chikorita^ she said.</div> <div> ^And…^ Shadow said.</div> <div> ^And Shadow^ She said smiling at the both of them.</div> <div> "Great to have you back Bubbles," I said bending down and giving her a hug.</div> <div> ^Great to be back^ she said.</div> <div> "Do you want Dewgong back?" I said.</div> <div> "No you can keep her," one of the sisters said.</div> <div> "As a gift for saving the gym," the other sister said.</div> <div> "Here is Bubbles Pokéball," the last sister said appearing with the ball.</div> <div> "Thanks," I said.  "Bubbles is back!"</div> <div> "And is here to stay," Keith said.</div> <div> ^I was going to say that^ Bubbles said.</div> <bR> <div> Authors Note:  How was it?  I don't think it was one of my best chapters.  Need to work a little harder in the mystery department.  Tell me what you think.  E-mail me at karlrennie@hotmail.com that is also my msn messenger screen name feel free to IM me.  (And for all you AIM uses my Screen name is dboyz3d.) </div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
