From: Foratog <cybersacco@geocities.com> Subject: [PW!] The Life Story Told on the Back of a Lapras Date: Friday, February 11, 2000 7:00 PM (In our hero's last adventure, they were on the doomed S.S. Anne. The great ship caught on fire, but they escaped. Nick found that Sarah was his long lost sister, but that's all he knows about her. You may skip this story if you like; this only gives background to Sarah. And to where my team are heading to next.) After Nick, Jessie, and Sarah got upon Baby Girl the Lapras, they were very tired. They went to sleep for the night. Elektra the Electabuzz stayed up for the night to keep watch. Nick woke up first. He tried to stand up on the Lapras, but his hip gave way again, and he fell off Baby Girl. After splashing about for a while, Elektra woke up Jessie and Sarah. They pulled Nick back onto the Lapras. He was wet and cold. No one had any dry clothes, or warm ones for that matter. Sarah then started to go into a fury of sneezes, and Jessie had developed a horrible cough. After seeing that they were all cold and sick, Nick brought out Vulcan the Charmander. "Char! Mander!" Vulcan said when he was released. Nick tried to to say something, but he was too cold. Vulcan saw this, and jumped into Nick's arms. The water in Nick's shirt turned to steam as Vulcan's body warmed him. Eventually, Vulcan got hot enough to warm up everyone else. "Mander-Char...mander....,"Charmander sqealed as he hopped out of Nick's arms. "Thanks Vulcan," Nick said. There was a deafing silence. It was very akward. This lasted for several minutes. Sarah sighed. She finally broke the silence. "Hmm...I guess I should explain a few things." "Like what?" Nick asked. "Well...uh, like I guess I should, kind like, tell my life story so to speak," Sarah remarked. Nick tried to turn to her, but he almost fell off Baby Girl again. Jessie caught him. "OK...," Sarah said as she turned to Nick and Jessie, "I know I was born in Cinnabar Island. But my real parents didn't take me; someone stole me. I was raised by a crack addict. He was...," Sarah started to look annoyed," about in his mid-30's. He already had a few children. He promptly moved me away from Cinnabar Island and took me to Saffron. He raised me considerably well, of course, taking into account he was almost always under the influence of drugs." She paused for a moment. "OK, he didn't raise me, and he didn't care. One of her kids cared for me. She was about our age. I loved her like a mother." She almost started to cry, but shruged it off. "He...my 'father'...never did anything for me. He only kept me for one reason." After a while, Jessie finally asked, "Why?" "He," Sarah stuttered." Uh.." "He...raised children...as...slaves." Nick and Jessie were confused. "Like...you would feed him and bathe him and work for him?" Nick asked. "Yes." "Oh my. I'm so sorry!" Jessie said as she got on her knees to hug Sarah. "That's all right. I never became like the others." Sarah looked depressed. "The girl who cared for me and the other kids told us to run away. Some of us escaped; other's..." She started to sob. "The girl, and others...he killed them before they could get away! In fact, she saved my life. When I was about to run out of the lawn of the house, he came out with a shotgun, and almost shot me. But..." Nick grabbed her hand. "You don't have to tell us." Sarah looked relieved. "No, it's ok! I feel better telling someone." "So anyways, she stopped him from hiting me. But she took the bullet." She sighs. "So at the age of 8 I was living on the streets of Saffron City. I met a nice little boy, and we sorta lived together. Once, we ran into a man in a Team Rocket uniform. He took us in, and gave us a place to live. If we worked for TR. Of course, we did." She looked to Baby Girl. "You doing ok, girl?" She gave a peaceful moan. "No. We're not going back there. Take us to..." Sarah paused. "Where should we go, guys?" Nick thought for a moment. "I think we should go to...uh..." He looked at Jessie. "What?" she asked. "Well?" Jessie also thought for a while. "Well...um...I think Vermillion would be a good idea. The authorities may want some info on the sinking." "OK Baby, take us to Vermillion City!" Sarah said, and Baby Girl started to turn to the east. "Where was I? Oh yeah. I worked in the offices of the Silph Company, delivering messages. My friend, oh I can't believe I forgot his name! He worked for some of the Rockets who would do various outside jobs. I never learned what he did until I was about 10. I was standing outside Giovonni's door, and he was talking to my friend. He told him he needed to kill some of his enemies' Pokemon, and my friend agreed. It broke my heart; I loved him so much!" Jessie started to cough again. Charmander came over to her and hugged her. Sarah continued. "I ran out of the building, crying. My friend must have heard me; he came running to me. He tried to explain himself, but I was to mean and upset at him. Oh, only if I was nice to him. So, I ran away from him and Team Rocket. I have stayed on the run, never staying in one place, because-" She suddenly paused. "Because why, Sarah?" Nick asked. "I think...Team Rocket is after me. I'm sorry, I didn't want to tell you guys. It would worry you. In fact, when we get to Vermillion, I think we should go our seperate ways." "No!" Nick quickly shot back. "We stick together, and we'll protect you." Jessie noded. "Thanks." Sarah said. "So now, I have been around all the cities. I came to Cinnabar to find my parents, but I didn't find them. I boarded the S.S. Anne. I wanted to return to my friend and see if we could patch things up. But now I don't think that would be a good idea. Nick, Sarah, and Jessie continued to talk about eachother's lives for the rest of the day. When night came, they fell asleep. When they awoke, they were on the shore of Vermillion City. Someone woke them up. ___ To Be Continued...Anyone interact here? Go right on ahead. E-mail me you do.
