T.A.C. had continued on their quest to find Tiki
when John felt a tap on
his shoulder.
"John Laramie? Message for you."
John took the note and read.
JOHN,
JOSH ANDERS DEAD. BLACK FOG RETURNED. COME TO LAVENDER
IMMEDIATELY.
MR. FUJI
"Aaaagh!" John cried.
"Who's Josh Anders? And what's this 'Black Fog?'"asked
Jamie.
"First of all, Josh was my best friend back in Fuschia.
Second, the
Black Fog is a high-level haunter who uses his Dream Eater attack
to
suck the souls of his victims. A year ago, I helped Mr. Fuji and
Sabrina
take out the creature and banish it to the netherword. But its
found a
way back and now wants vengeance on us. I have to go."
"We'll go too," said Score.
"Sorry guys, but this is something I have to do myself.
Anyways, you
have to find Tiki." John took out his teleporter and traded
Chaz for a
Rapidash. He hopped on, saluted his friends, then dashed off to
Lavender. As he slowly disappeared, T.A.C. looked on, worried.
Pipian
spoke up first. "Don't worry, John will return."
"I hope you're right, Pip," said Jamie, holding the
flowers John had
picked for her. "I hope you're right."
