Newsgroups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon Date: 2000/04/03 (For your convenience, a compilation repost of this thread will be posted upon its completion) Since we last left him, Runt and crew have found a small Brock's Diner off the main road. After ordering his food, Runt called his mother. Unfortunately, the video phone was busted so he had to use the spare normal one. We now join Runt's conversation with his mother, already in progress. "I know you were worried. Yes Mom. I told you called as soon as I could. Yes Mom. I'm sorry - Mom? Mom? Mom, I have to go, my food it's getting cold. I love you too. I'll talk to you later, bye." Runt hangs up the phone and rubs his sore ear. "'bout damn time," comments the man behind him. As Runt walks back to his booth, the man picks up the phone and puts it to his ear. "OW!" he yelps, pulling it away, "Excuse me, miss? Can I get some ice for this thing?" Runt sits down to eat his food, but soon realizes that it's all room temperature. He stops a passing waitress and asks her to reheat it. "Shwew san shwew-san." "San, shwew san shwew-san." Runt looks over at Rolly and Polly. Gazing lovingly into eachother's eyes, the two Sandshrews hold paws and occasionally nuzzle noses. "San, shwew san shwew-san," coos Rolly. "San, shwew san shwew-san," returns Polly. "Guys, could you give it rest for a bit," asks Runt, "you're making me ill." The love shrews, however, seem oblivious to his request. "Well, at least they haven't woken up Roo," he says patting the Kangaskhan's tiny head. As the waitress returns with his food, he sees a familiar face coming through the door. <To Be Continued...> The Runt
