[3] The Daughter of Nurse Joy: Johto Journeys

The Silver Wing

The gang (Cora, Alain and Mairin) had stopped by Blue Rock Island where they did some fishing while waiting for the next ferry. Mairin had managed to catch a Corsola, Cora caught a shiny Corsola which she named Coraline, and Alain caught a Octillery. By the time they decided to stop and return the fishing rods, the boat arrived. The gang quickly got onto the boat and headed towards Yellow Rock Isle.

They toured around the town and found some shops that had some beautiful pink-color crystals that is made into jewelry-like objects. They were told that they were made from Corsola horns that they shed every year and many shops use them to make art pieces from them. Cora managed to find a snow globe that some Corsola figures inside and bought it for her mom for her birthday. Mairin managed find something similar to the snow globe. Both girls were glad to find such great souvenirs. 

===============

Today the gang were at Ogi City, heading for the port. They wanted to know when the next ferry for Red Rock Isle is; the location of the Whirl Cup. The bad news was the ferry only travelled to Red Rock Isle once a day and the gang had already missed it.

Cora groaned, "Once a day..."

"We're stuck here until tomorrow." Alain said.

Mairin sighed, "What shall we do now?"

The gang all sat down, thinking of what to do.

"We could see if a Pokémon Centre is nearby." Alain suggested.

"Espe." Kilala said.

"Hello there." A woman voice greeted the gang.

"Huh?" The gang looked up.

"It looks like you guys missed the ferry to Red Rock Isle."

"Yeah, now we have to wait a full day until the next one comes." Cora said.

The woman smiled, "I'm Luka Kasahara. I think that's interesting because I'm studying the Pokémon that inhabit these waters."

"Well I'm Cora and this is Kilala." Cora introduced herself.

"Espeon!" Kilala greeted.

"Alain." Alain said.

"Mairin, Alain's younger sister. This is Chespie and Jevin." Mairin added.

Both Pokémon chirped at their names.

"Pleasure to meet you all. If you want to go to Red Rock Isle, I can take you there." Luka offered.

"Really? That would be great." Cora smiled.

"It's no problem. It's on the way." Luka assured her.

====================

Soon Luka was giving the gang a ride on her boat. The gang realized that Luka had a lot of diving equipment with her.

"She has a lot of equipment." Mairin commented.

"Luka must be a Marine Archaeologist." Alain commented.

Cora went up to Luka at the helm to ask some her questions, when she noticed a photo of a map beside her on the right.

"Hey Luka, what's this?" She asked her.

"Looks like an old sea map." Alain said.

"Hey look, there is some kind of mark here." Mairin saw an 'X' mark on the map, "This is a treasure map!" 

"Toge Toge." Jevin (Togepi) chirped.

"Well, you're not too far off." Luka commented.

"Huh!" Mairin gawked, shocked.
