Well, stay tuned to find out! Hey everyone! I’m SO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry for not having this chapter up sooner! I had to abandon it for a bit because of parental issues, but then I got too busy with school and couldn’t continue. Well, I actually wrote this last summer, but I haven’t had time to post it, but now I am, and I’m really sorry for the wait! Chapter 4 will come in during the summer, I’m not sure when, but it WILL come! Thanks for waiting so patiently! I’ll try to send an email to everyone who reviewed it before, but if you don’t get an email, please forgive me! Have fun and please R&R! Chapter 3- Surf’s Up It was a warm summer day and the sun was shining brightly. The sea was a beautiful, clear, crystal blue. A girl was out on the ocean, surfing the enormous waves. She had on a turquoise wet suit and was riding a surfboard that decorates in waves, just like the ones around her. She was trying to catch the big wave in the distance that was coming her way. Once before, she had caught a 10 footer, but that wasn’t good enough for her. She was looking at the ocean with daring eyes. She was going to catch this wave for sure. It was a 15 footer. She had tried to catch some other big waves before, but her attempts always ended up in failure. The girl got on her surfboard and surfed towards the wave. She was riding little waves and overcame them easily. A few bigger ones came her way and again, she overcame them, this time with a little bit of difficulty. Finally, the moment she had been waiting for was coming. The color of her eyes were the same color as the ocean. Her vibrant red hair shone and blew in the breeze, and she and the ocean became one. She was on the wave… She was climbing up the wave… Finally, she was on top of the wave! She had ridden the 15 footer and succeeded! But then something she hadn’t been anticipating came. She landed with a splash in the ocean. Apparently, she had forgotten that she had to land after she rode the wave. She was a little disappointed that she hadn’t landed successfully, but was proud that she had ridden the wave. As she got back on her surfboard, she noticed something large in the water. A blue sea- monster was swimming towards her! She should have been scared, but instead she smiled, just like she was smiling at an old friend. “Gyarados!” she exclaimed, “it’s so good to see you again!” “Gyar-a-dos!” The monster replied happily. The Gyarados stopped and waited for the girl to grab his tail. As soon as the girl was on her surfboard, Gyarados went speeding off. The girl rushed through the water and was having a blast. She was having so much fun when Gyarados started to slow down. “Aw, it’s over?” “Gyar” the Gyarados nodded. She got off her surfboard and stood on the sandy beach. She felt the warmth of the sand and felt at peace. She was about to lie down on the sand when she noticed something. “Gyarados, what’s that on your head?” “Gyar-gyarados!” As the Gyarados lowered its head, she saw what looked like a leg. It lowered its head some more and she saw the lower part of a body. When the Gyarados lowered its head all the way, she saw a teenage boy. He had ripped up clothes, but looked very strong and handsome. He had messy jet-black hair and tanned skin. Something looked familiar about him, but she couldn’t figure out what it was. “Gyarados! What happened to him!?! Is he alive?” “Gyar?” The girl took the boy off the Gyarados and laid him on the sand. He was cold and rigid. She was worrying that her worst fears would be confirmed. She put her ear close to his mouth. He wasn’t breathing. She put her hand up to his neck. There was no pulse. She was worrying frantically now. Who was this boy and where did he come from? Was he dead? Could she save him? Questions kept on racing through her mind. She decided to do CPR She breathed into him and pushed his abdomen. She repeated and continued the process for about five minutes. She decided to give up. It looked like he was dead. All of a sudden, something came out of the water. “Chou!” “Chinchou! Come here quickly! I need your help!” “Chou-chin-chou!” the Pokčmon replied seriously. “It looks like this boy is dead, but could you see if you can shock him back to life?” “Chou!” it replied happily. “Chou! Chou! Chou! Chin-CHOU!!!” It zapped the boy with all the electricity it could muster. Finally, it ran out of electricity. Still, the boy wasn’t alive. “Oh well, thanks anyway, Chinchou.” the girl replied sadly. She didn’t know why, but she felt a connection to the boy. She felt so sad, just like she had lost a good friend, but she didn’t know him. She started to cry. She cried hopelessly on him and there was nothing she could do. She tried everything she knew, but she couldn’t bring him back to life. A few of her tears touched the boy. Suddenly, the boy started to move. Then he coughed. “Are you okay?” the girl asked nervously. He kept on coughing then weakly said, “Yeah, I’m okay.” She was so happy that he was alive that pounded him to the ground with a giant hug. She looked very embarrassed after she realized what she had just done. “Oh, sorry, I was just so happy that you’re alive!” “Oh, it’s okay. By the way, where am I?” “Oh, you’re at Derora Island! My name is Marisela. What’s your name?” “Oh, uh, ummm……………………. I don’t know.” Hey, once again, I am really sorry for the LONG wait! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! It’s another cliffhanger! LOL Well, what do you think is going to happen to the boy? What adventures will he find on Derora Island? Well, just a bit of information, it took me a while to figure out a name for the girl and the island, and yes, they do have meaning. Marisela is Latin for “From the Sea” and Derora is Hebrew for “Running Streams”. That should help you to figure out some of the islands mysteries and who the girl is. If you know, keep it a secret until it is revealed! Thanks! I hope to have Chapter 4 up sometime during the summer, but it probably won’t be out until I get out of school which I believe is June 17th. Byez! Take care!
