In a few moments, she placed a call to Pidgeot Airport. "I need a flight from Vermillion City to Fuschia City, please." "Let's see...," she heard the secretary flipping through a notebook. "We can schedule a flight in 15 seconds." "15 seconds?" "An unladen Pidgeot can fly at speeds of up to Mach 2." "I suppose it would take longer if it were carrying a coconut." "How could it possibly carry a coconut?" Seeing where this was going, Jamie decided to cut it short. "15 seconds is good for me." As the secretary hung up, Jamie could hear her mutter, "Perhaps if it gripped it by the husk..." [15 SECONDS LATER...] Jamie was clutching the back of the Pidgeot as they zipped toward Fuschia. In a few minutes, she could see the trees and grasslands that indicated the Safari Zone underneath. Suddenly, a Fearow swooped from the trees and began pecking at the Pidgeot's head. Forgetting about its cargo, it began diving and dodging. Eventually, Jamie's grip loosened, and she began to fall. A thought came to her. "Maybe I can levitate myself," and she started to concentrate. When she opened her eyes again, she was still falling, only faster. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" With a crash and a stroke of extreme good luck, Jamie fell into one of the tree tops, then completed her return to the ground... ...but instead fell on top of a group of kids. "Hey, watch it!" one of the boys said as he struggled to push Jamie away from him. "I'm so sorry," said Jamie, then stopped when she looked in his face. It was the boy from her visions. It was Tiki. Tiki seemed to recognize her too. "Hey, you're that girl with the Magnemite." "And you're Tiki." They continued to stare at each other, amazed of each other's existence, when they both stretched their hands out and shook. "Hi," they said simultaneously. ------ TBC I really wanted to bring our stories together quickly, so here I am.
