Chapter 29: Lost at Sea (AKA Jenn the Sailor Chick)


A Pelipper was on my face when I woke up.

     "AHHHHH!" I screamed. "Nathan, Zachary, you guys are NOT funny at
all!"

     The Pelipper blinked and flew away at that moment. Those little
bastards, putting a real live bird on my ace... They had some nerve!

     I sat up and noticed how chilly it was. And why was there a
Pelipper on Mount Pyre?

     But then I realized something. I wasn't on Mount Pyre at all. 

     I was floating on a raft in the middle of the sea. There was no
land that could be seen from where I sat. "Nathan, Zach, I'm getting
really pissed off at you guys!" I called, but I didn't know why because
I was pretty sure they couldn't hear me.

     "Such language for a young lady," somebody commented. In my panic,
I hadn't noticed a figure sitting on the edge of the raft.

     "What the hell are you doing here?!" I cried angrily. No, he
couldn't be here... Surely, the cops were looking for him. And what did
he want with me?

     "I had instructions to bring you here," he said calmly.

My captor was Giovanni.

     "You came all the way from Johto to kidnap ME?!" He nodded. "Wow, I
feel loved..."

     "Well, after Maxie's attempts yesterday, he felt it was only right
to try again," he told me.

     "MAXIE sent you here to kidnap me?!"

     "Well, yes, in a way. I was going to try it anyways, and I told
Maxie that and that was when he had the idea to try this."

     "Where the hell am I?!" 

     "On a raft... Floating towards Johto. And after we get there, I
have a spot for you in one of my old hideouts in Goldenrod."

     "But I have to get my last two badges!! And I have to go to the
Pokemon League!"

     "Well, you crushed my dreams and now I guess I'm crushing your's."

     I raised my eyebrows at him. "Since when do you have dreams?"

     He cleared his throat. "My dream was to control Johto, but you kind
of ruined it for me twice when you overthrew my organization."

      "Well, pardon me. I'm ever so sorry that I felt it necessary to
take you and your clan down after I thought you killed my brother and
sister," I said sarcastically.

     "You know, I have instructions that I CAN dump your anorexic little
ass into the ocean and let you drown or freeze to death." Giovanni was
threatening me and that was only infuriating me further.

     "You know, my travelling partners will be looking for me!" Oooh...
I had hit him there.

     "Nobody told me you were travelling with a group! I just saw you
alone and I saw my chance."

     "What was that smell, by the way?" I questioned.

     "Chloroform," he said simply.

     "You DRUGGED me?!" I cried in aghast.

     "It's not that big of a deal. I couldn't really take you if you
were awake and screaming, could I?" 

     "Yeah, because I really wanted to be kidnapped in the first
place..."

     "Listen, kid, it's dark now and why don't you go to bed?"

     "Well, thanks for looking out for my well-being..." I was feeling
sick to my stomach and suddenly, I couldn't hold it anymore. I leaned to
the side of the raft and threw up.

     I felt a little dizzy, so I took his suggestion. I was anything but
comfortable and all I could think of was wanting to die and Nathan.
