From: Prozackian Kid (arace@psbnewton.com) Subject: [PW!] Trouble in the Safari Zone Newsgroups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon Date: 2000/05/16 Adam and Michelle were standing outside the Pokécenter wondering what to do. "I feel like I should say I wonder what we should do, but I won't. It feels sooooo cliché." Adam said "It does, but what do you want to do today." Michelle replied "We could have a picnic in the Safari Zone before the circus is setup." Adam suggested "That's sounds like a wonderful idea" "Then let's go to my house and pack some food" Adam said making another suggestion < at Adam's house > "Could you pass me the bread" Michelle asked "Here it is" Adam said passing it to Michelle "Thanks" Michelle said taking the bread from Adam "What's going on in here" Adam's dad asked "We're going on a picnic in the Safari Zone" Adam replied "Ok, but make sure you stop by your mom's place and wish her a happy Mother's Day" "I was panning to do that" Adam said "All right then, I hope you have a nice time" Adam's Dad said "Ok, see you later then" Adam replied as Michelle finished packing the lunch. Adam and Michelle walked outside and headed towards the Safari Zone saying "Hi" to people they passed. < entrance of Safari Zone > "That'll be $500" the guy said about to hand 30 Safari Balls over. "That won't be necessary, I'm visiting my mother" Adam said to the guy "Oh, okay, go on in Adam" The guy said putting the balls back Adam lead Michelle to where his mother was at which took about an hour. "This is where my mother stays. We got special permission from the city council and mayor" Adam said to Michelle "Wow! Your mother lives in the Safari Zone" Michelle said a little surprised "No, Not exactly" "What do you mean" Michelle asked Adam pushed the vines leading to a walled area in a secluded area of the Safari Zone out of the way. "Oh! I'm sorry" Michelle said apologetically "That's okay" Adam said as he took a bouquet of roses out of the picnic basket. Adam took the flowers and walked toward his mothers grave and placed the flowers down on the ground. "......." Adam was silent "It's been 13 years since you went away, and though I never knew you very well, I miss you very much." Adam finally spoke "I haven't found the person who owned the Raticate who murdered you, but I promise that I will find him and have my revenge. I know vengeance isn't right, but vengeance will be mine." Adam spoke again. "Scyyyyyyyy" A familiar scyther voice said "Hello Equinox" Adam said to the scyther "Thanks for all you've done" "Scyyyyytherrr Scy Scy therrrrr" Equinox said "I know, you're old, I can no longer ask you to continue your work, you may now rest" Adam said still looking at the grave "Scyyyyyyy" Equinox sounded relieved The black scyther walked up to Adam and put it's right scy on his right shoulder. Adam stood up and looked at Equinox then hugged the long time protector of his mother's grave. "Scccyyyyy" Equinox said right before it took a special pill and stood in a Scyther battle stance in front of the grave and it turned to stone. "Thank you" Adam knew Equinox would protect his mom for all eternity. "Adam look," Michelle said pointing to an object behind the stone scyther. Adam looked an saw a black colored egg. "It's must be Equinox's egg" Adam said picking it up "Here, I would like you to take care of it" "I couldn't" "Please, I don't know anything about caring for baby pokémon, besides I have faith that you will treat it right" "Okay, Adam, I'll take care of it" Michelle said taking the egg from Adam. "Now I believe we have a picnic to have." "Your right" Michelle said placing the egg in the basket. "Let's go next to the big lake in the center of the Safari Zone, it's beautiful there" "Okay Adam" <couple hours later> "That was a beautiful lunch Adam" Adam was staring at the other side of the lake at few figures "What is it Adam" Michelle asked seeing the figures "Trouble" Adam said seeing there were about a half dozen people there "know any of them" "No, but it better be stopped, I want you to stay here, I'll check it out" Adam told Michelle Adam was glad that he spent most of his time here and knew the place almost like the back of his hand. (plus he can teleport) Adam teleported to a hidden area near the people that he wondered about. "Next time you won't try anything stupid" Man #1 said "Yeah, now you all will suffer" said Man #2 pushing a button on a remote "AAAAAUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" screamed 4 people in pain "IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN" victim #1 screamed as he was being electracuted "You're right, you won't leave here alive to escape from us again." Man #1 spoke again. "Goodbye" said Man #2 "STOP IT" Adam yelled at them getting out from behind the tree "You dare try to stop Team Rocket" Man#1 said "Yes" Adam replied "Maybe you'd like to join them" Man #2 said "Mr. Mime, Monchan, Vaporeon!!! GO!!" Adam said releasing his pokés into battle "Infidel" Man #1 said sending out a Pidgeotto and a Hitmonlee out "Prepare to lose" Man #2 said sending out a Machamp "Mime Psychic, Monchan Thunder Punch, Vaporeon Auroa Beam" Adam shouted out commands "Fly, Double Kick, Seismic Toss" counter orders were given Hitmonchan hit Pidgeotto and paralyzed him with Thunder Punch, Hitmonlee Double kicked Vaporeon, and Mr. Mime Psychiced Hitmonlee. Hitmonlee didn't have time to attempt avoiding Psychic and was put out of battle. Vaporeon was knocked into the lake by Hitmonlee's Double kick. Vaporeon shook it off and jumped out of the lake refreshed, Machamp grabbed Mr. Mime and smashed him into the ground, Pidgeotto was paralyzed and didn't feel like moving. "Hypnosis, Auroa Beam, Thunder Punch" Adam shouted another round of orders "Gust, and another Seismic Toss" were ordered Mr. Mime put Machamp to sleep, Monchan finished off Pidgeotto with another Thunder Punch, and Vaporeon smashed Machamp with Auroa Beam, sending him into Rockets. "You've made a mistake going against Team Rocket" The Rockets said running off while recalling their pokés back "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! THE ROCKETS MADE A MISTAKE MURDERING MY MOM!!!!" Adam yelled at the top of his lungs. Adam then picked up a rock and threw it at the fleeing rockets, he hit Rocket #2 and knocked him out. Rocket #1 picked him up and carried him off. Michelle rushed over just as the battle had ended. "What happened?" Michelle asked "Rockets were causing trouble" Adam stated "Thanks *cough cough* for your help" one of the victims managed to say "Are you okay" Michelle asked "Yes, I'm okay but my sister is hurt, we need to get her help" The man said picking his sister up. "Everyone, come here. I'll teleport us out of here" Adam said < few days later > "Hey, Adam was your name, thanks" The guy said coming from behind Adam and Michelle "No problem, by the way, why were you escaping from the Rockets" Adam inquired "Normally I wouldn't tell anyone why, but in this case I'll amke an exception." the man said The man, his two friends, and his sister took off the trench coats they were wearing. "AAAHH!!!" Michelle gasped "We're genetic freaks" The man said Adam and Michelle looked at the man and the three females he was with "Each of us were combined with different eeveelutions. My name is Malkavain Maximus, she is Jennifer, she is Alicia, and my sister over there is called Stephanie." Maximus stated Malkavian was a human/jolteon! Jennifer was a human/vaporeon! Alicia was a human/flareon! Stephanie was a human/eevee! "Me and my sister were originally human, the other two pokémon that were injected with human DNA." Maximus explained "Oh" Adam said "What did they make you do" Michelle asked "They made big brother pimp us around like whores in Celedon and Safferon; anything for a profit" Stephanie said "That's horrible" Michelle said "They even put a giant tattoo on him" Stephanie pointed out a giant red tattoo on Maximus's back They read the tattoo and it said "Pimpeon" in big red text "Well, I think it would be wise if you stayed with us for a while, Team Rocket doesn't quit just like that *snaps fingers*" Adam said "Thank you" Maximus said recalling Jennifer and Alicia to their pokéballs "Why did you do that" Michelle asked "They may be human features, but basically there are pokémon. Thus they are used as such" Maximus said "okay" Michelle replied "oh, and Adam, I forgot to tell you, but Equinox's egg hatched" Michelle added "Let's see it" Adam said Michelle called a baby black scyther from it's black colored pokéball. "Ahh, that's cute" Stephanie said looking at it. "So what did you name it" Adam asked "I'm naming it Equinox, after it's mother" Michelle replied "Okay, anyway, Let's head over to my place, it's been a busy week" Everyone agreed with this idea and headed over to Adam's house and slept for the night.
