[5] The Daughter of Nurse Joy: Battle Frontier

Pokémon Ranger and The Temple of the Sea

Out in the middle of nowhere the gang were struggling with walking. It was a blazing hot day, and the gang was very thirsty because they didn't have any water on them. And the worst part was they were lost.

"Oh I wish we were at a town already." Mairin complained.

"I'm so thirsty I could drink a bath full of water." May added.

"If we don't find any water soon, I fear I'm going to shrivel up like a raisin." Cora commented.

Just then the gang saw some big watery bubbles floating in the air.

"Is that a mirage?" Ash asked.

"(I don't think so.)" Aaron replied.

"Let's check it out." Brock decided.

When the gang went to see what the bubbles were, they saw some water Pokémon swimming around in the big bubbles and a girl with blue hair was with them. Cora recognized the girl as Lizabeth.

Max ran up to the girl, "Hey, could we have some water, please?" He asked.

"Sure, okay." Lizabeth replied.

"Thank you!" Max cheered.

Max started sucking on a bubble until a Gorebyss poked him away. The Politoed next to Lizabeth started clapping happily.

"Hi there, who are you?" Lizabeth asked.

The gang introduced themselves to Lizabeth.

"We've been traveling and got lost somehow." Alain stated.

The gang looked at the water bubbles with wonder.

"So they're using Psychic to make water bubbles. Impressive." Cora commented.

"I agree. You don't see many trainers doing these kinds of tricks." Alain agreed.

"(Interesting. I've never seen anything like this.)" Aaron added.

Brock was observing Lizabeth and her family as they worked around their trailer. Then he slammed his fist into his palm which meant that he figured out something.

"You're in the Marina Underwater Pokémon Show, correct?" Brock asked, smiling.

"That's right." Lizabeth replied.

"And your name is Lizabeth, and you're the star of the show." Brock said.

"Right again." Lizabeth confirmed.

Brock clamped his hands together happily, "AWESOME! The name is Brock, my dear. I happen to know all about the Marina Group!" He quickly took out a blue book from one of his pockets and flips through it excitedly, "Here! It's my blue book." He revealed two pages that had Lizabeth's pictures on it, "There. See? You're the tippy top of my all-time favorite stars list." He put away the book, "This has got to be destiny, meeting you here like this! Yes, take my hand." He holds onto Lizabeth's hands, "And now that we're holding hands, I would love to go on a swimming date with you and all your wonderful Pokémon... Aah!"

Max grabbed Brock by the ear and began pulling him away, "Now that I'm holding your ear, I'd like to take you away."

"(This is starting to become a normal routine, right?)" Aaron asked.

"Yeah." May agreed.

Then Lizabeth's grandfather came up to them, "Lizabeth, what's wrong?" He asked.
