CHAPTER EIGHT

Marco dropped his bike and sprinted toward the ditch. Logan hadn’t screamed. Or yelled. Or laughed. Or anything. He was quiet—way too quiet.

“Logan!” Marco cried as he half-ran, half-tripped into the ditch.

Then he spotted him, sitting up in the grass beside his tipped bike.

Marco blew out the breath he’d been holding. “Are you okay?” He squatted in the grass beside his friend.

Logan just sat there, dabbing at the blood trickling from his elbow. Finally he turned toward Marco, as if noticing him for the first time. “Yeah, I’m okay,” he said in a tiny voice.

“Are you sure?” asked Marco. “You don’t look so great.”

Logan shrugged. Then he slowly pushed himself up to standing. “I’m okay.” He reached for his bike.

“Do you still want to go to the cave?” asked Nisha, sounding doubtful.

“You can wear Night Goggles!” chimed in Maddy. “Nisha made two pairs.” She stood close to Logan, as if she feared he’d topple over at any moment.

He smiled at Maddy’s offer.

“We’ll find the Pokémon for sure,” said Maddy. “Especially Zubat!”

Suddenly, Logan’s smile faded, and he looked down at his ankle. “Actually, my ankle is starting to hurt. I think I might have sprained it.” He rolled down his sock and rubbed the spot.

“Can you walk on it?” asked Marco. “Should we take you to the Health Center?” Logan was usually so tough. He must be really hurt, thought Marco, wishing he knew what to do.

Logan hesitated. “I think I can ride my bike there,” he said.

“Okay, I’ll go with you,” said Marco quickly. “And Nisha and Maddy can go to the cave.”

“What? No!” said Maddy. “I’m going with Logan, too.” She crossed her arms as if to say, “Don’t even try to talk me out of it.”

Nisha sighed. “You two take Logan to the Health Center. And I’ll ride to the cave so that one of us is there when they start the orienteering. Wish me luck.”

As Marco helped Logan onto his bike, he tried not to worry. But what if Logan was really hurt? What if he couldn’t explore the cave?

It was only halfway through the competition, but between Maddy’s seasickness and Logan’s sprained ankle, it seemed the members of Team Treecko were dropping like flies.
