From: Amber Foxwing (creese@qwest.net) Subject: [PW!] Amber's Beginning Newsgroups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon Date: 2001-07-13 23:13:33 PST Amber was up. as usual, at around 6 in the morning. She did a few stretches and eagerly awaited the time when Elm reopened his lab in the morning. "Honey!" her mother called a few hours later. "It's 8! You ought to hurry!" Amber grabbed her backpack, kissed her mom goodbye, and ran across the street to Elm's office. (OOC: This is my first PW! so bare with me!) Elm greeted her absentmindedly. "Hello, erm...Amber, right?" "Yes." "We ran out of Pokemon yesterday." "WHAT?!" "We'll get some in about a week. How's that?" "But..." "You could take him..." "Who?" Elm gestered to a Pokeball in the corner. "Take him. Don't want him. Can't get any more information out of him." Amber picked up the ball and released the creature inside... ...which turned out to be Magikarp. "Ah...a week you said? I'll be back then." She returned the Magikarp and discarded him in the corner again. ~~~A week later at precisely the same time and place...~~~ "Yeah," Elm smiled. "I kept one just for you!" "What is it?" "It's over next to Magikarp there. It's the Greenish ball." She released the monster. It was small, black, and resembled a cat with big claws and one ear. "Sneee!" it grinned. Elm handed her a Pokedex, and Gear. "Try it out!" She entered her information into the 'Dex, and scanned Sneasle's Pokeball. A screen came up that said, 'Do you wish to name your Sneasle?' She chose yes. "Nyara. Your name is Nyara, ok?" Nyara nodded and promptly climbed to her shoulder. "I hate leaving Pokemon in their Pokeballs, so your in luck, Nyara." "Sneee!!!" To Be Continued...
