Dis: I don't own Pokemon. But I do own the Pokemon and charaters that I created. ****Jade Hearts**** By: StarrybluMew *** This means it's in italics. { }This means that somebody's thinking. A/N: I re-did chapter 9 just because I thought it sucked. Then when I realized that I re-done it,I forgot to tell you, sorry!!! It won't happen again though. (Hopefully) They had ***finally*** brought Tommy to the Pokemon Center in Soot City. It took them awhile, but they made it. Sitting at her desk, filling out paperwork, was Nurse Tana. She was like the Nurse Joy in the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn region execpt Tana had one sister who didn't look like her at all. Gee, big difference..."Nurse!" Kyle cried out as they dragged Tommy's body across the room of the center. {He's soooo heavy!} Ashley thought to herself as Nurse Tana quickly stood up at her desk. {Too bad Tommy had fell off of my back again as soon as we reached this place.} "Oh, my!" Nurse Tana said as she hurried over to where Kyle and Ashley was. "What happened?" Tana asked. Ashley opened her mouth to speak, but Kyle gave her a hard nudge in her side. "Ouch!" Ashley yelped. Kyle spoke up and repiled, " We were walking through the woods. Me, Ashley (he pointed at her), and Tommy (He pointed at Tommy's body). Then a male Nidoran leapt outta the bushes and used pin missle. Luckily, me and Ashley here were able to get out of the way. Poor Tommy wasn't as fast as we were, though." Kyle stared at the ground, pretending to be sad. It wasn't a wonder that Nurse Tana bought it. Flame rolled his eyes at Kyle for being a show-off, then quickly stopped as a girl walked through the atomatic doors of the Pokemon Center. She had green hair that was tied in big buns at each side of her head. Her emerald eyes sparkled with glee. She was wearing a long, sheleved, red shirt and grey deniem shorts with her white sneakers. Standing beside the green haired girl, was a orange Charmander with a very bright flame on the tip of its tail. "Oh, Debbie! Can you please help me with this client?" Nurse Tana begged. The green haired girl, Tana, nodded as Nurse Tana quickly walked back to her desk. On her desk was scattered paperwork, a couple of pictures of her family, penceils, pens, a band-aid box, and a grey microphone with a red button on it. Tana pressed the red button and she held the microphone up to her mouth. "May I have your attention please? I repeat. May I have your attention please? Will Chan-Chan and Bliss please report to the lobby. I repeat. Will Chan-Chan and Bliss please report to the lobby. That is all." The doors at the right side of the Pokemon Center that read the word EMERGENCY opened. A pink Chansey and a pink Blissy happily walked over to the desk with smiles on their faces. Nurse Tana sat the mircophone back on her desk, then she turned to face the two pink blobs standing beside her. "Can you two please take care of that young boy?" The blobs nodded happily. Then they walked back into the emergency room and came back with a long stretcher. Kyle and Ashley hosted Tommy onto the stretcher and Chan-Chan and blissy strapped him down with the straps. Then Chan-Chan, Blissy, and Debbie all rolled Tommy into the emergency room. Kyle pointed to a red seat and the two childern both sat down. Nurse Tana grabbed the chair behind her desk and scooted it over to where Kyle and Ashley were sitting. Tana placed both hands on her lap as she said "Since male Nidoran carry alot more poison in their systems than female Nidoran do, it might take awhile before we get him out of the emergency room." Ashley kept quiet with the hopes that her brother would be okay. "But Nurse Tana, how will those two Pokemon know what to do?" Kyle asked. Nurse Tana smiled as she replied "Let's just say that Debbie has a ***very*** big mouth whenever she isn't so shy." Kyle and Ashley both exchanged sad glances at each other, both with the same thought. {Tommy.....} ***Meanwhile, back at the Team Underground HQ*** The dark figure's shadow loomed over a grunt. The young grunt had failed on a misson only this time, it would be his last failure. Veriden spun his chair around to face the wall. He tried to hide the sly smile that kept on spreading across his face. He absoulutly loved torturing his recruits. Well, making them think they were going to be tortured. For now. "Tell me, how many times have you failed?" Veriden asked in a dark voice. The grunt looked down at the floor, to afraid to look at the back of his boss. "Um, 35 times?" the grunt replied in a meek voice. His skin felt as if it was crawling. Veriden kept his voice the same dark tone as he repeated "35 times?" the grunt gulped. "Uh, yee....yes sir...." Veriden wagged his finger at the wall, as if he was chiding it. "35 times is way to many," Veriden spun his chair around to see the look of terror on the boy's face. "Yee....yes sir." Veriden pulled his desk drawer open and pulled out what the grunt thought was a gun. "Please sir! Don't do it! I'll...I'll do anything!!!" the grunt feel to his knees in plea, crying hystericlly. "Get up, you worthless fool. I'm not going to kill you." The grunt stopped crying to look up at Veriden as he asked "You're not?!" Veriden nodded. "Oh, well I uh...what do you want sir?" Veriden held up the so called "gun". It was two pictures of kids. One had spiky, scarlet hair and the other had long, stright, brown hair. "I want you to track down these kids. I want both of them brought back here to me alive." Veriden flung the pictures at the grunt's feet. He picked them up, and he held them up for him to see. "I already had my son to do step one of my plan. Step two is for an old friend. And step three......is for you." The grunt studied the picture of the two kids. "But sir," he asked. "What do you want with these kids, anyway?" Veriden grunted. He spun around in his chair so he could face the wall. "It's to complicated for you to understand." "But sir!" the grunt begged before Veriden cut him off. "You may go now."Veriden interupted. The grunt started walking to towards the doors. Before he could put one foot out the door, Veriden said in a dark, creepy voice, "And if you fail me on this mission, you'll soon regret it."
