"This way!" > They rushed into the darkness. Back at the real house, Jeff was still playing video games, this time, on the 1P mode. That left Bob with the task of either separating his brother from the game, or feeding the nocturnal pokemon present. 'He ain't going to move so I'll just feed 'em myself' Bob thought as he put on a dull-coloured jacket and left. Making his way to the birdhouses and trees, there were quite a few happy Hoothoot and Noctowl. Moving to the freezer area made for a few happy Sneasel. Finally the biggest, and scariest part of the run -- the Haunted House, full of ghosties with a bad sense of humour Opening the dor, Bob went in. For this part, he dragged Raffy along (literally). The Girafarig was muttering sumething inaudible which is good because it wasn't pleasant -- or decent. Walking slowly, as not to wake the sleeping critters in the building, Bob came to the feding area. Filling the various troughs and bowls, he finished the task at hand. All of a sudden, there was a loud shriek or two or three. Rushing toward the sound, much to Raffy's annoyance, Bob was just about to round the corner ... ---------- Around that corner, the gang were just scared sensless by a Haunter. It started as the Haunter was tapping wach one on the shoulder. Amber wasn't paying much attention as to what it was because she was following her nose. Jason and Vixxen were just following. When the three turned around, the Haunter make a really weird and funny face ... ... which made everyone shriek ... ... and got the Haunter Shadow Balled and zapped by many volts of electricity. Turning around, they saw another shadow approaching. Automatically thinking it was an enemy, Vixxen sent lightning down the hallway ... ---------- ... when a lightning bolt came right at him and zapped him. Falling to one knee fast, he got into a defensive stance. That about neutralized any really harmful effects of the lightning. When Jason finally noticed who it was, everyone stopped. "Oops" Vixxen said, a huge sweatdrop appearing "Times like this makes me glad grass is resistant to electricity." Bob muttered to himself. "S'all right" he said out loud. After much explaining and confusion, the group made it back to the main house. Raffy went back to 'his little Arkie' as he put it, and a good time was had by all. After a few minutes of vital discussion, it was decided that they'd all try their luck at the Goldenrod Gym tomorrow. Of course, during this conversation Vixxen snuck away and it didn't take an Alakazam to figure out where she went. "TV!" Was the happy cry. "NO! Laddy! Don't fall down the well!" Bob, after leaving and coming back with food, heard the estatic cries from near the television. "Oh no, it's ANOTHER Laddy marathon!" TBC ------- Clayton
