Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: Mystery At The Lighthouse

Mew: "The road's gotta be somewhere."

(Mew says looking around.)

Brock: "Everything's somewhere."

(Brock says.)

Misty: "Are we lost, again?"

(Misty asks, whining.)

(It appears Mew and her friends have once again lost their way, and it's getting kind of tiring.)

(Even Pikachu and Eevee are tired.)

(They continue to travel down the road to find that will lead them to Vermilion City, so Mew can try to earn her next badge.)

(Mew sighs.)

Mew: "I do hope we get there too. I like to earn another badge, like I did with the Boulder Badge and the Cascade Badge."

Misty: "Maybe so, but you got the Cascade Badge because you saved the Cerulean City's Pokemon."

(Misty says.)

Mew: "True. We would of have finished with our match if Team Rocket didn't try to mess things up."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "Yeah. Those three always seem to make a mess of things."

(Misty says.)

(Then Brock comes in.)

Brock: "Either way, Mew here has two badges and nineteen Pokemon.

Mew: That's right. Professor Oak said I'm able to carry as many Pokemon as I like, mostly because he said I'll be catching and making friends with more Pokemon by the load."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "You sure are right. You ended up getting a lot from the incident with Damian."

(Misty says.)

(Mew nods her head.)

Mew: "That's right. On hand I have: Eevee, Pikachu, Pidgeotto, Butterfree, Poliwhirl, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Scorbunny, Galarian Ponyta, Squirtle. At Professor Oak's lab I have: Shellder, Weedle, Sandshrew, Arcanine, Ledyba, Skitty, Roserade, Espurr, Bounsweet. I guess in a way, I caught them all."

Misty: "Caught them? Mew, plenty of them also followed you."

(Misty says.)

Mew: "I guess you're right."

(Mew giggles.)

Brock: "It's really not unusual for most trainers to capture twenty or thirty Pokemon."

(Brock says.)

Misty: "True, but since you also have two Pokemon Eggs, you'll end up with Twenty one of them."

(Misty adds.)

(Then asks.)

Misty: "By the way, When do you think they're going to hatch?"

Mew: "Not sure. The Pokemon Eggs will hatch when they want to hatch. Anyway, we better find a place for us to stay for the night before it gets too dark."

(Mew says.)

(Mew and her friends continue to walk down the trail, hopping to find a place to stay.)

[Soon enough...]

(they find their way out of the woods and discover a beautiful beach with a sparkling blue ocean.)

Mew: "Wow. It's so pretty."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "Yeah. What a lovely sunset."

(Misty says.)

(Mew then looks down to see a crustacean Pokémon with a strong outer shell protecting its small body.)

(Its upper half is red and has its eyes and two small spikes on the top of its head.)

(Its light tan arms are also connected to its upper body.)

(Its lower body is light tan and doubles as its jaw with two fangs overlapping its upper body.)

(Its hips are visible on the lower front of its body connected to its four long, thin legs.)

(Each leg has a single, claw-like foot.)

(Finally, the two large, red pincers at the end of its arms.)

Mew: "Hey. It's a Krabby."

(Mew says.)

(She brings out her Pokedex, and Dexter says.)

Dexter: "Krabby the River Crab Pokemon. A Water Type. Krabby lives near the shore. It's average height is about 16 inches."

(Mew picks up Krabby and says.)

Mew: "You're the cutest and smallest Krabby I've ever seen."

(Krabby begins to blush a little for the compliment.)

(Mew asks.)

Mew: "You wanna be my Pokemon?"

(Krabby nods its head.)

(Mew smiles and taps her Pokeball on it and it goes inside.)

(Soon it's been caught and remains in its Pokeball.)

Misty: "That was an easy catch."

(Misty says.)

(She looks to where the sun is setting, and says.)

Misty: "I'm worried about having to camp out again tonight. I'm sick of sleeping in sleeping bags!"

Mew: "Yeah. And it wouldn't help to find a phone and call the Professor Oak to check how my Pokemon are doing."

(Mew says.)

(Suddenly, Pikachu and Eevee notice something.)

Pikachu: "Pika! Pika!" (Look! Look!)

(Pikachu calls out.)

Mew: "What is it guys?"

(Mew asks.)

(Eevee answers.)

Eevee: "Eevee Eevee." (Look over there!)

(The group looks ahead to see something ahead.)

(They soon see a building along with a tall tower with a light shining on it and its spinning around and around.)

Mew: "What's that?"

(Mew asks.)

(Misty answers.)

Misty: "It's a lighthouse!"

Mew: "That's great! Maybe someone can let us stay for the night, and can let me use a phone."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "And there'll probably be some extra beds. A sleeping bag is no way for me to get my beauty sleep!"

(Misty happily says.)

Brock: "Yeah! And there'll be someone there to tell us where we are!"

(Brock adds.)

(Mew smiles and says.)

Mew: "Let's go!"

(Time has gone by and by the time Mew and the others reach the lighthouse, it's very dark outside.)

(The group reaches the lighthouse.)

Mew: "Phew That was farther than it looked."

(Mew says.)

Brock: "This lighthouse looks weird."

(Brock says.)

(The group of friends reach the door to see that it has different pictures of Pokemon on it.)

Mew: "Wow. Look at all the Pokemon on the wall."

(Mew says, interested by the pictures.)

Misty: "Guess we gotta ring the bell."

(Misty says.)

Mew: "I got it,"

(Mew says, and presses the button.)

(The ringing from the doorbell is a creepy ringing.)

(Everyone is frightened that they might not be able to move.)

(Suddenly a voice appears on the speaker.)

???: "Who's there?"

(A little frightened, Brock says.)

Brock: "Excuse us, sir. But we're travelers and we're lost."

Mew: "We kind of like to use your phone if you don't mind."

(Mew says.)

(Then Misty replies.)

Misty: "We've been camping out for quite a while, and I'd sure appreciate a nice, comfy bed."

Brock: "And I wonder if I could use your kitchen to make some bacon double cheeseburgers for our group. And I'd be more than happy to make something for you."

(Brock says.)

(The voice says.)

???: "That's great! Can you cook without using tofu?"

Brock: "Oh, sure! I can cook lots of things without using any tofu."

(Brock says.)

(The voice says.)

???: "That's good. I've been eating nothing but tofu since my cook went on vacation. Come on in!"

[Just then...]

(the doors fully open, and the group goes inside.)

Mew: "Would you mind if I borrowed your phone?!"

(Mew asks.)

???: "There's a phone right near you."

(The voice says.)

(Mew turns her head to see a screen and it has a Bellsprout with buttons on it.)

(They all walk to it to see that it's actually a video phone.)

Misty: "Hey, it's a videophone. Oh, that's cool."

(Misty says.)

Mew: "I'll call Professor Oak."

(Mew says.)
