From: Andrusi has SaraJ under mistletoe (andyvvv@aol.com.geable) Subject: [PW!F] Superball Newsgroups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon Date: 2001-01-16 13:52:22 PST PK rolled down the road, planning. Or at least that's what he claimed he was doing. Actually he was just rambling. But as far as Stupid or Fortran knew, he was planning, so we'll assume that's what he was doing. "I am quite possibly the closest thing this world has to a completely omnipotent being," PK said to his two henchmen. Er, henchpokémon. No, that's not right either. Henchmon? Henchémon? Gotta Command 'Em All? Eh, I give up. "My immense power is unparalleled! I am invincible!" "Pika pika kachu pi," Stupid responded, smirking. "Well, okay, so Sabrina could probably turn me into a toothpick sculpture. So? I'm the second most powerful being in the world, then." "No, actually Mew is a lot more powerful," Fortran commented. "I think she even has Sabrina out matched." "What, Mew, too?" "Oh, right. Mewtwo is also considerably stronger than you." "Shut up." "No, I don't believe anyone goes by--" Fortran found itself at the pointy end of a nuclear missile that had emerged from an impossibly small compartment on PK's shoulder. "Shutting up." "That's better," PK said. "Now then, I guess that makes me the fourth most powerful..." Some distance away, a Tediursa and a Machop crouched behind an outcropping of rocks. They watched the conversation, and saw the entire lame excuse for an incident. "Spotty, did you see that?" the Tediursa said. "He had a nuclear missile!" "Ack!" was the Machop's reply. He covered his eyes. "I don't like missiles. They're frightening." "That's not the point. The only reason any would want one of those is for mass destruction. And who would want to do that?" "...S-someone e-evil?" "Exactly! And what does that mean in our continuity? The Machop gasped. "Superted, you can't mean..." "I'm afraid so," the Tediursa said with a sigh. "Get your rocket pack. I'll say my magic word." "So anyway, I am officially the three hundred and ninety-fifth most powerful being--" PK stopped, and stared ahead. "Make that three hundred and ninety-seventh." A Machop with a weird rash and a Tediursa wearing Spandex were floating a few feet above the ground ahead. "All right, Tex," the Tediursa called out. "We both know how these things always work out, so why not just skip it? You tell us whatever it is you, Skeleton, and Bulk are up to, and we'll foil your plan and get it over with quickly." "What?" PK shouted. "Who are you? What are you talking about?" Superted and Spotty discussed the response. "Superted, are you sure that's Tex?" "You know, now that I think about it, he does look a bit short to be Tex. Maybe we have a new villain?" "B-b-but Superted, we never disposed of our old villain!" "Well, perhaps we're in a new series along the lines of 'Batman Beyond'. Then most of the cast would be new." "But Superted, I don't like Batman Beyond. It doesn't make any sense." "Perhaps we're not in our own show, then. Let's find out." Superted turned to the trio. "You there! What show are we on?" PK jumped back. He paused, and then laughed as he replied, "Hahaha! You think you're on a TV show?" He pointed at the two. "You're so pathetic! You're NPCs in a PokéWars story!" "WHAT?!" the pair responded, startled. Superted was the first to continue speaking. "You mean we're worthless throwaway characters?" "Yes!" PK shouted triumphantly. Superted looked at Spotty, who grinned. "Superted, do you know what this means?" Superted grinned back. "Yes." He turned to PK. "It means we don't have to act in character. Which means we can beat up annoying robots." PK gulped. TBC? Well, sort of. The series will go on, and PK will go on. Don't expect Superted and Spotty to appear very often, though; I don't remember enough of the show to do them justice. -Andy &&
