From: Foratog5 <cybersacco@geocities.com> Subject: [PW!] Shocking...Ain't It? Date: Saturday, February 26, 2000 As Nick and Sarah were exploring the deck of the S.S. Anne, they overheard a conversation. Someone just beat Lt. Surge at his gym. Nicks face lit up. "Hey, Sarah! Why don't we go down to the gym?" Sarah didn't answer him. She looked sad. "Something the matter?," Nick worriedly asked. She denided it, but there was definatly something wrong. "Come on, let's go," she said. When they got to the gym, it was very crowded. Must be everyone burning time while the S.S. Anne sat in port. "Oye," Nick said as he looked at the crowd, "we'll never fight him. 'Sides, I can't find him." But they didn't have to go through the trouble of searching for Lt. Surge. He came to them. "Oh my!," the loud voice of Surge boasted, "what a pretty face!" He grabbed Sarah and gave her quiet a bare hug. Usually a girl would be giddy if a strong man came on to her; but Sarah is paranoid. She filled the halls with an ear-piercing shriek. Surge immediatly set her down, and Sarah grabbed onto Nick. "Oh, I'm sorry little girl," Surge regreated. He really felt sorry. "How may I repay you, sweetheart?" Nick saw that Sarah wasn't listening, so he jumped in. "Uhm...OK, how 'bout you let me fight you? In a Pokemon match, of course!" Surge revealed a cocky smile. "Har har! You think you can beat me, squirt?" Sarah started to pout, and Surge whispered in Nick's ear: "Is she OK? Because, I mean..." "Yeah, don't worry. She's fine," Nick said as Sarah dug her nails into his back. They penatrated his bones, and he yelped like a puppy. He dragged Sarah of himself and followed Surge to the battle field. A rather old intercom blared: "Lt. Surge Vs. Nick! The rules are 3 on 3, anything goes." Well, this is it, Nick thought. He was now going to enter the Pokemon League. His heart started to beat faster. Sweat was trickling down Nick's forehead as the glaring lights blinded him. It was so bright without the lights; something ahead of him was also lit up. He squinted his eyes and saw Surge was starting out with a Magnemite. "Hmm, this shouldn't be too much of a problem," he thought. Nick threw his first Pokeball into the fight. "Vuclan! I need you!" "Mander-Char!" Lt. Surge chuckled. "Har, you think a puny Pokemon can beat me? Magnemite, Thunder Wave!" A wave of light came rushing after Vulcan. "Vulcan, Dig Now!," Nick commanded. Vulcan barely missed the Thunder Wave attack. "Hmm...," Lt. Surge mumbled as he thought to himself. "There's nothing I can do. Magnemite, watch out under you!" Nothing came from the ground. The Magnemite waited for minutes. Vulcan was still underground. It was maybe the second time the Charmander used the Dig attack, and it got it right the first time. "What was wrong now?," Nick asked. Before he could answer himself, Vulcan shot up after Magnemite and tossed it up to the ceiling. Magnemite hit it with a loud thud, and came to the gorund with another thud. "Magnemite, return! Raichu, go get him!" Nick's heart shot up his chest. He has heard many things about the infamous Raichu owned by Lt. Surge. Caused many Pokemon to be paralized beyond recovery, causing them to never battle again. Vulcan's weak defense was no match for Raichu. "Vulcan, return! Sandshrew, I need you!" Lt. Surge's smirk slowly faded. "Smart, but I can still fight. Raichu, Quick Attack!" Within a millisecond, Sandshrew was on his back, but quickly got to his feat. Before Nick could bark a command, Sandshrew bolted after Raichu. It went for a Scratch, but Raichu quickly dodged. A few more times; all misses. Sandshrew started to lose it's faith in it's self, and started to pout. Raichu fell on it's back, overcome with laughter. His trainer did the same. "Har har har! What a cry baby!" Nick started to get angry, but not as much as Sandshrew. His mind was slowly leaking it's rage. It's eyes were starting to become trenched in red psychotic anger. Sandshrew got everyone's attention with a loud shriek, and then shocked everyone with what happened next. Sandshrew raised it's arms. Slowly. Inching up and up. When they reached above his head, Sandshrew stood still for a few seconds. Then, when he thrust his hands down, he released a large Earthquake that was perfectly focused at Raichu. Dust shot up from the cracks made from the quake, shielding everyone's view. Nick heard Raichu screaming bloody murder, and the swipes of paws and claws. When the dust settled, Raichu was knocked out. Everyone was shocked, not because of who one, but how Sandshrew won. There was no way the Earthquake hit Raichu, actually. There were no cracks in the ground where it was. But Raichu was covered with many scratches. Sandshrew must have gone through a Fury Attack while the dust was in the air. Surge picked up the Raichu and ran out the door, screaming, "It need medical help! It was just attacked by a psycho!" Nick was shocked because he won so easily, only using two Pokemon. Sarah, though, started to cause an uproar. "Where is is badge! Nick whooped Lt. Surge, and he deserves a badge!" She embaressed him. A few officials of the gym carefully cam over to Nick, trying to avoid the Sandshrew next to him. "Uh, excuse me sir, if you take this badge, will you please leave us?" So Nick took the badge, and they kicked Sarah and him out immediatly. "How rude!," Sarah pouted. "Come on Sarah, let's get back on the ship." TBC... OK, now they are walking around the ship again. -- E-mail - team_atog@geocities.com AIM - Foratog5 Web Site - NONE...yet......
