The Lone Watcher
By Copycat

It was a beautiful Monday morning and Prof.Oak had just gotten out of bed.When he gets to the kitchen,he finds Tracey Sketchit,a Pokemon watcher and his assistant,bringing breakfast over to the table."Good morning,Professor."Tracey said cheerfully.Morning,Tracey."he answered."There's an important meeting Mrs.Ketchum and I have to intend around three.I need you to take care of the Lab until I get back.I should be back by four,as this meeting is only an hour long."Tracey agreed.Before they knew it,it was three and Prof.Oak had already gotten out the door.Tracey did everything Prof.Oak told him and than waited by the window for him to return.4:00 rolled around and still,Prof.Oak didn't return.Tracey thought nothing of it at that time."Maybe he's still at Mrs.Ketchum's."4:30 came around and still Prof.Oak wasn't there.Tracey began to worry."He should have been back by now.Maybe I should stop at Mrs.Ketchum's and see if she saw him."Tracey went as fast as he could.When he got to the house,he realized something was wrong.No Mr.Mime coming out to clobber him with the broom.No Mrs.Ketchum saying,"Hello,Tracey."He wandered to the back door.With a sigh,Tracey leaned on the door and was surprised to see it unlocked and open.Cautiously,Tracey pushed the door open the rest of the way and stepped in.With the little light he had,Tracey saw everything on the floor,including Mr.Mime's broom,Mrs.Ketchum's work apron and Prof.Oak's labcoat."Oh-no!"cried Tracey in sudden panic.With that,he turned on his heel and ran back to the Lab to think.
