Evolution
				Day 5(continued)

	I stared at Dragon as it changed from a serprntine shape to 
a dragon-like shape. Dragon had evolved into a Dragonite.
"Ahwooo," said the newly evolved pok‚mon. To say that I 
was ginning ear to ear would be an understatement!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	I was nervous. I'd never spoken to, or even met, Prof. Oak 
before. Ash had called him to tell him about how I rescued 
Pikachu from the clutches of Team Rocket. Max then added that 
my Dragonair had also evolved into a Dragonite.
	"Congratulations, Marc!" He said, "I hope you come visit 
Pallet sometime. See you all soon!"
	"Bye, professor!" everyone said as Ash hung up.
	RING I answered my pok‚-gear, "Hello? A possible 
connection!? Weh? I'll check it out, bye." I hung up. We gotta get 
ta New Yohk City," I explained, "I'll see if the Professah'll lend us 
a cah."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Take the SUV, Marc." I was elated. Of course, I knew thhat if 
the situation were different, I'd have been more excited about 
going to New York City. And, needless to say, my good news left 
everyone speechless.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By some miracle, I somehow managed to find a parking space by a 
river. The first thing I noticed, was the small island halfway 
across it. Then I noticed the four-story tower on the island.
A tower in the shape of a "T".
	"Marc? Yoohoo, Marc," a voice was saying to me.
	I just stood there.
	"Snap out of it!" Somebody shouted.
	I just stood there, staring.
	"Earth to Marc," another person said, waving their hand in 
front of my face.
	I just stood there, staring at the island.
"Sorry  about this, but it's the only way," someone said. Then 
everything went black.

"Unh," I groaned. I opened my eyes, then sat bolt upright. "What 
th'--" I began. I was in a hotel room. Where am I? I thought. And 
how'd I get here? I looked at the clock. 4:45 it flashed. Then I 
realized that I'd been out cold for a solid hour. I got out of bed 
and shook off the thought of being unconsious. I walked over to 
the window and saw an unusually empty New York street. I 
decided to get my things together and and find out why. When I 
got there, I saw that Ash and the others were watching 
something. I peered through over Max's head and did not believe 
what I saw...
