From: Foratog5 <cybersacco@geocities.com> Subject: [PW!] Chaos in Vermillion General Hospital Date: Wednesday, February 16, 2000 5:24 PM The peace of the Vermillion General Hospital was broken when Nick slammed the door open. He was carrying a paralyzed Sarah in his arms, followed by Jessie, Elektra the Electabuzz and Vulcan the Charmander. "Someone get me a doctor! We've got an emergency!" Jessie yelled. It didn't take long for Sarah to get medical attention. The doctors laid her out on a stretcher and put her into the ER. After a few hours of impatient waiting, a doctor came to see Nick and Jessie. "Your sister will be OK," the doctor said. "She'll have to spend the night, though." "No problem. Can we stay the night in her room?" Nick asked. He didn't want to buy another hotel room. They were getting low on money. "Of course," the doctor replied. When he entered the poorly lit room that Sarah was in, Nick was surprised to see her hooked up with so much equipment. She was on a respirator, and her leg was submursed in a cylinder glass tank filled with warm water. Looked like it cost a lot of money. The doctor saw Nick's worried look. "Don't worry about fees," he said as he looked down the hall, "this one's on me." After settling down, Nick and Jessie went to sleep for the night. They had to share one small chair; it was a tight fit for them both. Nick woke up first, but since Jessie was practically on top of him, he waited for her to wake up. When he did, he went to go get them breakfast and a newspaper. On his way back to the room, he spotted Josh in the lobby. He ran to the door and locked it behind him. "What's the matter?" Jessie asked as Nick handed her breakfast. "I saw Josh in the lobby. He must know Sarah's here," he said. He was very afraid. Jessie sat up and stared out the window. It had a nice view of the harbor. "We need to get out of here. We can't let him find her." Nick picked up the newspaper. "Heh...Looks like the S.S. Anne is already set to ship," he said. Jessie snapped it from his hands, and her face lit up. "That's it!" she cried. "We get on the S.S. Anne-" "OH NO, we do not!" Nick snapped back at her. "We ain't going on that deathtrap! 'Sides, we were just on it!" "But then we'll be away from Josh! We could hide in the crowd; he'd never find us!" Jessie had a point. "There is a famous yearly event coming up on the ship in a few days. It's supposed to have the greatest pokemon trainers aboard! Best of all, security is super-tight; no way a single Rocket could come and take us!" Nick still wasn't sure, and he started to nervously pace around the room. "Nick," Jessie said as she stepped in front of him, "please stop that. You're making me anxious." She looked like she hadn't slept in days. Nick turned around and saw that Sarah was sitting up in her bed. Now she looked god-awful. Hair totally messed up, face was pale-white. "Lay back down," Nick said as he helped her back down onto the bed. "You need to get some rest." "Nick," Sarah struggled to say. "Where am I?" Her voice sounded like a feminine Darth Vader in an earthquake; thanks to the respirator. "You're in the hospital," Nick said, "and you are gonna be OK." She smiled with her blueberry-chapped lips. Someone tried to open the locked door; everyone's heart jumped. Jessie opened it a crack, and then wide open to let the doctor in. "OK, looks like you'll be fine, Sarah. You may leave whenever you like, you're free to go. I just have to remove you leg from the aqua-cast" The doctor drained the cast, and dried Sarah's leg off. She was still very weak, and could barely stand up. Nick was surprised she had recovered so quickly. "I want to leave now," Sarah said. She was uncomfortable in a hospital. Nick peeked out the door when the doctor left. "I think we'll be staying for a bit longer." "Why?" Sarah jerked up out of the bed. "This place make me nervous." He voice started to shake, and she was starting to twitch. "Because Josh is still in the lobby," Nick said as he tried to force Sarah back into her bed, but she was determined not to. She was now very nervous. She jumped out of bed and started to frantically pace around. "No no, you guys-you gotta get me outta here I don't like it here makes me to nervous and I don't like it we can't stay here because its no good being here we need to leave and get out of here-." She stopped when Nick grabbed her. "Snap out of it!" But it was helpless. Sarah broke out of Nick's hold and ran out the door. Nick and Jessie followed after her. She ran into the lobby, but stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Josh. He slowly stood up, but Sarah was already running away from him. She ran back into the room and jumped under the covers. Nick locked the door behind her; just before Josh came up to it. He pounded on the door, and Sarah started shaking furiously under the covers. "How are we gonna get out now?!?" Nick said. Sarah jumped out of the bed. "I know what to do!" She grabbed her pants that were hanging on the chair, and pulled a Pokeball out of a pocket. "Psybert, I need you!" A small Kadabra appeared before her feet. "Kadabra!" "Psybert, Teleport us out of her, now!" In a second, they were all teleported... ...onto the top of the hospital roof. Jessie and Sarah looked around, but couldn't find Nick. "Nick, where are you?" She looked all over, but couldn't find him. "Oh my god! Jessie, come quick!" Sarah yelled. She was looking over the edge of the 20-story hospital. Jessie ran over to her to find Nick hanging for his life over the edge of the wall. "Psybert, Teleport him up here now!" Sarah commanded, and he obeyed. When Nick appeared on solid ground, Josh stormed through the elevator. "Stop right there!" Sarah suddenly screamed at him, hysterically. "YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME!" She ran into Nick's arms, almost knocking him off his feet. Jessie threw a Pokeball up into the air, releasing Elektra the Electabuzz. "Let's fight! You! Me!" Josh showed no emotion. "OK." He held a Pokeball in his hand and released Wartortle. Nick whispered something in Sarah's ear. She shook her head quickly and started to tremble. "Elektra, Thunderpunch!" Elektra lunged forth with her fist, and connected. Wartortle shook for a moment, and Water Gunned Elektra. "Elektra, Thunderbolt!" She was famous for her Thunderbolt. It could send a Sandshrew into orbit. The Thunderbolt collided with the Wartortle and slammed it against the elevator door. Josh ran to it to see if it could still fight. When he turned back to Jessie, she was gone, along with Sarah and Nick. They had got on Winger the Pidgeotto and flew away. "OK, we gotta find a place to hide until the S.S. Anne takes off!" Nick said. "I think I might know someone..." Sarah answered. TBC.... -- E-mail - team_atog@geocities.com AIM - Foratog5 Web Site - NONE...yet......
