Find the five hidden Pocos in this book.

Once upon a time there was a little cactus called Spike. Spike was from a video game called Brawl Stars. One day when Spike was in the middle of a game he accidentally walked through a teleporter and Spike teleported to a random country. When Spike landed in this country, he noticed that there was a note on the floor so without even thinking, Spike opened the note and read it. The note said:

Dear Spike, this is from the owner of Brawl Stars, Frank. I have teleported you here to go on a mission. First, you must find another teleporter and then you will go to Paris. Then you will have to find another teleporter to go to China. Then you will have to find another teleporter to go to Ireland. Finally you have to find one more teleporter to go back to Brawl Stars.

For a second, Spike did not know what to do but he knew that if he wanted to go back to Brawl Stars he would have to start now. After about forty-five minutes of searching for a teleporter, Spike finally found one and straight away without even thinking about it, Spike ran through the teleporter. For a second Spike did not know where he was, but after a couple of seconds he realised that he was on the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Spike was terrified!

Spike had no idea how he could get back down to earth but suddenly out of nowhere Spike saw a helicopter. Spike started waving like crazy at the helicopter until the man flying the helicopter threw out a ladder so Spike could climb up into the helicopter. For a moment the man just stared at Spike but after a couple of seconds the man started screaming "ahhhh an alien". "I'm not an alien" said Spike. "Then what are you?" said the man. "I'm a cactus" said Spike. "Cactuses can talk!" shrieked the man "but why were you waving your hand at me like crazy?"

Spike explained the whole story to the man. After a few minutes, the helicopter landed in a nearby soccer pitch. Spike thanked the man and started searching for a teleporter so that he could go to China. Spike decided to ask people on the street if they had seen a teleporter. Most people just ignored Spike except for one women who said that she had seen a teleporter next to the Arc De Triomphe. Spike asked her where the Arc De Triomphe was and the lady pointed at it in the distance. Spike wasted no time and rushed over there straight away.
