From: Time Lady (sailrgal@swbell.net) Subject: [PW!] A moment in the life of a Pokemon hater.... Newsgroups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon Date: 2000/04/08 "SQUEAKY, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO CHASE THE MEOWTH, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!!!" "Dreadful little things," thought Jeeves as he heard Candi yell at her Rattata. The mistress's ineptituted made things twice as difficult. "I can't stand the little buggers and I _still_ know more than her. At least the pay is decent." "Ooooo Squeaky return!" he heard Candi call. "Please don't let her send out Sparky..." thought Jeeves. The chauffeur then winced as he heard the roar of the Charizard. "Oh bugger... now she's going to send out Splashy to try and stop it...." "Splashy, don't just flop there! Do something!" whined Candi. "Karp karp magikarp," moaned the Magikarp as it flopped around helpessly. "CHAAAAARRRRR!!!!" snarled Sparky. "All that money.... wasted on these pathetic creatures...." Jeeves thought to himself. All those people running around, catching them, battling them.... there were so many other things one could be doing with one's time... "Pokemon.... what a waste of time...." Jeeves was broken out of his revierie by a shriek. "JEEVES DO SOMETHING!" Turning, the chauffeur calmly picked up his fire extinguisher and aimed at Candi, stopping the residual flames from the combination of Sparky's Flamethrower and Candi's overabundance of hairspray. The pricey clothing she wore was charred and essentially ruined. As soon as the fire was safely out, Jeeves picked up two of the gold plated pokeballs and recalled Sparky and Splashy. He knew what was next.... a trip to town to the nearest beauty parlor, then a major shopping spree to replace the damaged clothing and more.... then back out to try and catch more of those disgusting pokemon. There was one good thing about Candi's ineptitude. She didn't have too many pokemon, and the ones she did (except for Sparky) were pathetically weak and untrained for the amount of time Candi had been training. At least there was _one_ other redeming feature to the job besides the money.... When he brought the wretched creatures into the Pokemon Center, at least he'd get to see one of thos rather nice Nurse Joys..... though how they could deal with Pokemon the way they did he would never understand. <RL Note: Sorry... fatigue mixed with boredom here....>
