Poketchs

After some time the gang finally arrived in Jubilife City. This is where Ash and Dawn could participate in the Pokemon contest. The contest was in three days so the gang could relax for the time being. But there was one thing Dawn wanted to do first; she wanted to get a Poketch. A Poketch was somewhat like a watch, but it was also like having a mini laptop on your wrist because of the features the Poketch had.

"That reminds me." Ash said.

He rummaged through his backpack and took out an envelope. Inside the envelope was a voucher for a pre-ordered Poketch.

"My mom got this for me for my birthday and she said that this pre-ordered Poketch will have special additions to it." Ash said.

"I got one from mom too." Tomo added.

He showed the others his voucher.

Dawn felt a bit jealous because she didn't have a voucher for a special Poketch.

Unfortunately for them the shop that sold Poketch's didn't have any.

"All of the Poketchs were taken back to the company." The shop keeper explained.

This didn't make Dawn happy as she really wanted a Poketch.

"I know. Let's go to the company where the Poketch is made." Ash said. "I'm sure the president will tell us why they took all the Poketch's back."

Dawn immediately agreed with that idea and they headed to the Poketch company.

Once they got there though the staff at the reception desk didn't let them see the president.

Suddenly a young boy with a Shinx by his side came up to the gang.

"Good I'm glad you don't have those fake Poketch's." He said.

"What do you mean?" Ash asked.

The boy explained that some clowns had been handing fake Poketch's out in the city.

"I know they are fakes because my daddy never makes cheap Poketch's like that." The boy's name was Landis and his father was the company president of the Poketch company. The president explained that because cheap, fake imitations of Poketch's were being distributed, he had all his products brought back until he resolved the problem.

"Hey sir." Ash said. "My brother Tomo and I got these special vouchers from our mom for a special pre-ordered Poketch. What are the special Poketch's?"

"That Ash, is our very special product." The president said. "It is special because it has two special apps added that you wouldn't get on other Poketch's."

"You get a stop watch app and a alarm clock app." Landis said.

Ash and Tomo felt lucky for getting something as special as that.

Since the president had to resolve the problem with the fake Poketch's, the gang left the company.

"So what will we do to wait for the company to resolve the issue with the Poketch's?" Tomo asked.

"I need to contact Prof. Rowan and tell him about the strange red plate that we found in the forest." Ash said.

"And I need to determine if we are missing anything like medicine and things like that." Brock added.

The gang then went to the Pokemon Center. Ash contacted Prof. Rowan and showed him his red plate.

"Hmm, that's quite the strange item you have Ash." Prof. Rowan said.

"Do you have any idea what this plate is professor?" Ash asked.

Prof. Rowan thought about it for a second.

"I'm afraid I don't." He admitted. "But I will look into it for you, Ash."

"Thanks professor." Ash said. "I'll call you again when I find another plate."

Then the phone call ended. The plate felt a lot more mysterious to Ash than ever.

Later that night the gang was getting ready for bed in the Pokemon Center, when Pikachu noticed something outside.
