From: ShiningTiger <shiningtiger@aol.com> Subject: [PW!] Ryo's Reflections... Date: Sunday, January 23, 2000 10:12 PM Okay, last time we had Ryo finally returning home, only to find his parents gone, and that they left him ownership of the house, a small section of the labs, and an Abra... Ryo spent most of the day in a daze, still shocked at the apparent loss of his parents, and his discovery of having a brother. When he returned home that night, sleep came late, as he stayed up thinking almost until the sun came up. He did sleep though, and with it came an unusual dream. Mt. Moon was beautiful this time of year, and the Clefairy were in season. He remembered visiting this place as a child, and actually seeing one. He snuck off to go watch it, and was attacked by a Zubat. The Clefairy chased it off, then ran itself before his parents arrived. Since that day, he vowed to protect the Clefairy, and resolved to work very hard to learn how a pokémon could be made, so he could build them a protector from those who would exploit them... Ryo woke up in a cold sweat. Had he acctually been there? It seemed so real, and that last part sounded like him, but he had no memory of *ever* visiting Mt. Moon. Abra's pokébal was shaking, and abruptly opened, revealing the little being contained within. Awake, rare for this time of day, it looked up at him. <<Greetings, Ryo>> Ryo nearly jumped through the roof of his room, frightening Arcanine, who was sleeping at the foot of the bed. "Wha? How did I hear that?" <<You can hear me because of your latent talent, Ryo. Your parents knew about this, and decided I would be a fitting pokémon for you>> Ryo sweatdropped...his parents knew he was pyschic, and hadn't told him? And that stange bit about having a brother...what was going on anyway... TBC Just a little character development, and to prove I won't catch a pokémon every post like it might have seemed at first. Don't worry, neither Ryo nor Tyger will catch one for awhile, they've got enough... Ryo Masaki
