From: Ivyna J. Spyder (lucrecia@aol.com) Subject: [PW!] Fitting In Newsgroups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon Date: 2000/05/05 Prof. Kasai and his odd band of Pokémon looked at the huge, sparkling city spread out before them. They had arrived at Saffron after about a day's walk. "Wow, I've never seen anything like it!" said Prof. Kasai. "Wow, maybe I can battle for my first badge!" <Badge?> asked Frankenduck. <Why?> "Because if I get all the badges, and compete in the Indigo League, it'll make me even more famous as a scientist! Don't you get it?" asked Kasai. <The police are after us. We want to be an inconspicuous as possible! Idiot.> "Purr Purrsian Purr! (Don't call him an idiot!)" "Cle! Clefairy fairy fairy? (Yeah! You're always such a jerk.)" <Shut up, you dumb pink freak.> "Fairy Clefairy?! (What did you say?!)" exclaimed Munchie, snarling. He suddenly leapt at the Golduck, slashing with his claws and biting him. <GET IT OFF ME!!!!!> "Munchie, stop that!" said Prof. Kasai, grabbing the killer Clefairy off Golduck. "Fairy. Clefairy fairy Clefairy. (Sorry. I can't help myself sometimes.)" said Munchia sadly. <Hehehe, Frankie's pretty hurt!> giggled Cy-gor. <We should get to the Pokemon Center! Hehehehehe!> <Why are you laughing?> asked Frankenduck. <Oh, I forgot, you laugh at EVERYTHING!> Cy-gor just laughed maniacally, his head spinning. "Sian Purrsian Purr. (I'm tired Kasai.)" said Chimera. "Sian Purrsian? (Can we go now?)" "We're all tired, so let's get to the Pokémon Center!" said Kasai. The group got many odd looks walking through the streets, but no one approached them. Except one boy. "What the hell kind of Pokémon is that?" he asked, looking at Chimera. "Um, she's just wearing a silly costume!" said Kasai, thinking what a great excuse that was. "Doesn't look like a costume." Said the guy, tugging one of her wings. "SIAN! Purrsian! (HEY! Hand's off!)" "What the hell?!" said the guy. "That thing's real!" "So what if it is?" asked Kasai, folding his arms over his chest. <Hehehe, yeah!> "Fairy Clefairy Clefairy, Cle? (Want to make something of it, jerk?)" "Did you create that freak?" asked the guy. "That's just wrong, a Pokémon like that shouldn't even exist!" "Don't talk about Chimera like that!" said Kasai, patting her on the head. "She's the best Pokémon ever!" The guy smirked. "I'm sure there are laws against that sort of thing. It should be destroyed and put out of its misery!" Chimera's ears drooped, and she lowered her head sadly. "Sian Pursian Purr. (I am a freak.)" The other Pokémon, with the exception of Frankenduck, who was pretending not to know them, glared at the guy. <Hehehe, why don't you just mind your own, hehehe, business?> said Cy-gor. "Cle! Fairy Fiary Clefairy Fairy! (Yeah! Or I'll have to rip your eyes out!)" "Jeez, all your Pokémon are freaks!" said the guy. "FAIRY CLE, FAIRY FAIRY! (THAT'S IT, YOU'RE DEAD!)" shouted Munchie, and leapt at the guy's face. He screamed. "GET IT OFF!!! SOMEONE GET IT OFF!!!" Munchie jumped off, and the guy ran away with several large claw marks on his face. <Hehehe, we showed him!> said Cy-gor. "It's okay, Chimera." Said Kasai, patting the Pokémon on the head. "That guy was a jerk, he didn't know what he was talking about!" <He was telling the truth.> said Frankenduck. Kasai glared at him. "Let's just go to the Pokémon Center so you guys can get some rest." "Sian. (Okay.)" They went inside, where a few other trainers were, as well as several Nurse Chanseys, and the ever present Nurse Joy. "Hello there!" she said cheerfully. "And what may I do- Oh my!" She was looking at Chimera, who was hunched up in a futile attempt to seem unnoticeable. "Um, I need my Pokémon healed." Said Prof. Kasai. Nurse Joy, being the nice person she was, decided not to say anything about the Persian, or whatever it was. Kasai put all his Pokémon in their Pokéballs, and gave them to Nurse Joy. After a while, they were all fully healed, and she gave them back. He let them out. "We'll stay here tonight." He said. Clefairy was looking at the other Pokémon in the room, and practically drooling. "Fairy, Cle! Cle CleFairy! Cle, Fairy Clefairy! Fairy Clefairy Clefairy. (Oooh, look! A Jigglypuff! Oh, those are delicious! So soft and marshmallowie.)" he said happily. "Fairy Fairy Clefairy! Cle, Fairy Cle Fair Fairy Clefairy.(And that guy has a Tangela! Oh, one of those with some salad dressing and croutons.)" <You are sick, Munchie.> said Frankenduck. "Fairy! Cle, Fairy Clefairy Fairy Clefairy! Mmm, Fairy. (Thanks! Oh, that guy has some Exeggcute! Mmm, omelets.)" "Chansey! (Hello!)" said a Nurse Chansey cheerfully, like they always do. "Chansey Chansey? (How are all of you?)" <Hehehe, fine, thanks!> <Leave me alone.> said Frankenduck. Munchie said nothing. He was staring at the egg in the Chansey's pouch. "Fairy Fairy Clefairy. Fairy! (Look at the size of that egg. Yummy!)" he said, and jumped at the Chansey. "CHANSEEEYYY!" she screamed, running away from the crazed Clefairy. "Cle! (Darn!)" Chimera scanned around the room. She gasped. Across the room, sitting by his trainer, was another Persian! "Sian! Purrrsian Persian! (Look! Another Persian!)" Kasai looked. "Oh, it is a Persian." "Purr Purrsain Purr! (I'm going to go say hi!)" she said, walking over, balancing herself with her tail, wings, and front Scyther claws. Despite the odd assortment of limbs she had, she had little trouble moving. "Chimera, I wouldn't." warned Kasai. <Hehehe, uh oh.> said Cy-gor, even though he didn't think the situation funny at all. Chimera walked over to the other Persian, which was grooming his front legs. He didn't look up until she was right next to him. "Purrsian Purr! Sian Purrsian Purrsian! Sian Purrsian? (Hello there! My name is Chimera! What's yours?)" she said cheerfully, smiling. The Persian stopped his grooming, and looked up a small bit. His eyes snapped open and he jumped up. "SIAN PURSIAN?! (WHAT ARE YOU?!)" Chimera backed away, startled by this sudden outburst. "Purrsian Purr, sian Purr! (I'm a Persian, like you.)" "Purr? Sian, Purrsian Purr Sian, Purrsian Purr Persian. (What? No, you aren't, you can't be a Persian!)" The others watched, afraid of what might happen. "Purrsian! Purr Purrsian Persian, Sian Purrrrsian Persian, Purrr Purrr Purrrsian, Sian Sian Purrsian Persian! (I am too! I talk like a Persian, and some of me looks like a Persian, and I have attacks like a Persian, so I must be a Persian!)" she said angrily. The other Persian ran a paw over his face. He sniffed her once, and seemed to shrug. "Sian Purrsian Sian. (Close enough for me.)" Chimera smiled. "Sian Purr Purrrrsian! (It was very nice to meet you!)" With that, she walked back over to the others. Kasai breathed a sigh of relief. "That was close. It would be awful if she was turned away by her own kind!" "Fairy Clefairy Fairy, Fairy Clefairy. (Pokémon are pretty forgiving, unlike most humans.)" Suddenly, on a nearby TV screen. "The police are warning people to be on the lookout for a man with black hair, wearing a lab coat and glasses. He is said to have an odd Pokémon that looks like a Persian, and is a mixture of several others. If you see this man, report it to the police immediately!" "Oh no, run!" shouted Kasai, and they all ran out of the Pokémon Center. TBC.
