Subject: [PW!][WC][R2] Carol vs. Aerie Date: 12 Dec 2002 04:46:15 GMT From: jsolano199@aol.comlink (Jose L. Solano) Organization: AOL http://www.aol.com Newsgroups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon Trent sat in the stands wearing a baseball cap. Somehow, this was an effective disguise. He looked down to see that Carol... or "Karen" was now fighting Aerie. Now would be his chance. Pokewars!: Trent Retwin "Carol ('Karen') vs. Aerie" Jose L. Solano Carol reached into her large Eskimo coat and drew her first Pokemon, something she had caught in a hurry just moments before the match. "Go, Psyduck!" On the other side of arena, her opponent Aerie sent out her own Pokemon: A Squirtle. "Psyduck vs. Squirtle!" the announcer said. "This could go either way, folks!" "Okay, Psyduck! Confusion!" Psyduck's eyes glowed, but he had a hard time targetting Squirtle, who swam around the water. "Water gun!" Aerie told her Squirtle. The water spray made Psyduck lose both his footing and concentration and fall into the water. "Try Confusion again!" This time, Psyduck's confusion hit Squirtle. The tiny turtle cringed and spun around in the water. "Okay now, Psyduck, Scratch!" "PSYYYYYIIIIE!!" Just as Squirtle was recovering, Psyduck scratched it across the chest. "Squirtle is taking quite a beating!" the announcer said. "Squirtle, return!" Aerie called. Her Squirtle jumped onto her platformed and rubbed its chest. "Golden, Horn Drill!" "What?!" Carol hadn't noticed that Aerie's Goldeen was already there. Was it there the entire match? Not that it mattered. The precise hit sent the poor Psyduck flying several feet out of the water, right into the arena opening on Aerie's side. He was too far inside for Carol to see him, much less recall him. "Psyduck is out of the arena, and as you all know, that qualifies as a loss! Carol better act quick in order to counter Aerie's Goldeen!" "Guess I have to use the idiot's crab thing... go, Kabuto!" The Kabuto immediately grabbed on to Aerie's Goldeen, refusing to let go. "Oh, here we go again..." As the match continued, one seat in the stands was empty. Trent Retwin silently moved through the inner corridor of the arena, right to an entrance leading to the battlefield itself. He noticed Carol's opponent Aerie was closest to him. He decided he would take his shot right there. He took his gun out of his trenchcoat, loaded it, and knelt to steady his aim. To be continued (take it from here) Jose L.
