Chapter Seven: In Deep Trou-tle!

 

                Wart was then discovered by the Wartortle. He looked at Wart for 
a minute, and then he said, “Who the heck are you?” “I’m Wart.” “Well, Warty, 
I’m Toak. I’m that lady’s Pokemon.” “I know.” “Hey listen, you’re stealin’ my 
thunder. So you’d better beat it, Warty.” “IT’S WART YOU IMBECILE!” Suddenly 
Wart was on the ground, coughing. Toak had punched him in the stomach. “Wha’ 
cha’ call me?” Wart just shook his head in pain. “Nothing. Nothing at al-“ He 
was hit again. “You callin’ me a nothin’?” Wart was getting fumed. His butt was 
being kicked by a nobody turtle! “No sir,” he said through gritted teeth. “I 
meant I wasn’t sayin’ anything about ya’.” Toak looked at him with a hard glare. 
“Well, Warty, that’d better be true.” Wart suddenly felt rage. He didn’t want to 
be down here, he wanted to be back in the balloon. “I bet Jeni and Koji don’t 
even know I’m gone!” he thought to himself. “Listen, Toaken, either you’re plain 
stupid and you don’t know how to say a name, or you’re trying to do it on 
purpose, but I have no time to sit around and listen to you insult me. I’m 
really in a rush, so hush.” Toak laughed a dry, hoarse laugh. “You’re in a 
hurry? Yeah, right. Listen, I don’t care what your name is, you don’t insult m- 
huh?” Wart and Toak both saw the dark cloud rolling overhead. “It’s about to 
rain. We’d better take shelter.” Said Wart. Toak nodded and ran into some 
shrubs. “My hideout is over here. C’mon.” Toak and Wart found a big cardboard 
box and got in it. “So, you belong to Team Rocket, huh? That’s cool.” Said Toak. 
Wart didn’t feel like talking. Toak could tell and he stopped asking questions. 
They laid there until they were tired and fell asleep.

 

                Darren won the battle with the cap boy. After winning the heroes 
were off again when Melina realized… “Oh, no! Where’s Wartortle?” screamed 
Melina. Jared and Darren spun around to look at her. “You mean you’ve LOST him?” 
asked Jared, hoping the answer was no. “YES!” cried Melina, sobbing. “I’m a bad 
trainer!” Then Darren felt something wet on his face. “Oh, it’s raining. We’ll 
find Wartortle later…” “No! Darren, don’t you understand? Wartortle was the 
first Pokemon I’ve ever evolved by myself in my life! I have to go find him!” 
She put up her hood on her jacket and ran off. “Melina, wait!” cried Darren, 
running after her. “Hey, wait up!” yelled Jared from behind.

 

                “You did WHAT?!” screamed Jeni. Koji nodded sadly. “He’s gone, 
gone forever.” Jeni hit him with a frying pan. “Oh no he isn’t we’ll go find him 
for sure!” So they landed their balloon (in a tree unfortunately) and got out to 
look around. “Wart!” cried Jeni. “WART, WHERE ARE YOU!?!?” Meanwhile, Melina, 
Darren, and Jared were on the same trail, except they were calling a different 
name. “WARTORTLE! WHERE ARE YOU? IT’S ME, MELINA!” Jared and Darren covered 
their ears from how loud she was. Wart and Toak heard the loud calls. “I think 
my trainer is over there,” said Toak sadly. “I really don’t want to go, but at 
least I’ll be safe in my pokeball. Goodbye, Warty.” “Goodbye, Toaken.” Wart went 
towards the footsteps. Suddenly a loud BOOOOOM erupted in the air. It was 
beginning to storm! “We’d better hurry up and find your Pokemon, Melina, or 
we’ll get soaked.” Said Jared. “There’s a Pokemon Center nearby. We can go 
there.” Then Melina saw a Wartortle walking towards her. “Hey, Jen-Ahhhh! It’s 
the twerps! Oh, no!” “Hey, that’s Wart!” Melina grabbed Wart before he could 
run. “Where’s Wartortle?” “You mean Toak? He must be with T.R!” Meanwhile, the 
two (and Toak) were fixing the balloon. “Hey, Wart, you’ve been pretty quiet.” 
Said Koji. Toak nodded. Toak knew that being with Team Rocket would be totally 
cool, especially because he was as evil as they were. “Okay, we’re all set, 
let’s go.” Said Jeni. Toak grinned, trying to act like Wart.

                “I bet Toak is trying to act like me.” Said Wart in despair. “If 
we don’t find Toak, Wart, you’ll be in my Pokeball!” “NOOOOO!!!!!” cried Wart. 
They finally arrived at the Pokemon center. “We’ll find Toak in the morning. In 
the meantime, let’s rest for the journey in Mt. Moon.” And so they did.
