His face now betrayed his nervousness. > Gads cringed. A trainer like that would be a hill to climb. Suddenly... "Champ Champ Champ!" Suddenly, two MaChamps, one carrying another Magikarp tank, and the other holding a cheap fishing pole, dashed into the offices, dropped them next to the other tank, then ran out. Suddenly, the loudspeakers blared: "The drawings for the 0-6 finals will begin NOW!" Gads smirked. "'Bout time..." He snatched up the second pole, then took a quick test of its weight, then dropped one end into the tank. "Come on... let's see who my opponent is..." Five minuites later... "Damn it, bite already!" Gads was getting fustrated. He kicked the tank. Surprisingly, a Magikarp bit the hook. Gads quickly pulled it out before it could change it's mind. The attendant quickly seized the fish, and matched the number to a trainer. "Your opponent will be Julia. Remember, this round is six-on-six, so all the Pokemon you're carrying will be used in combat." Gads thought about that. The only spare Pokemon he had was Ringer, his Weepinbell, and that egomaniac wasn't going to get the chance. Between Dow and Sketch, he already had enough problems. "I guess I'll keep my current team..." Gads mumbled as he headed for the doors. TBC? Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
