From: Dryad48 <dryad48@aol.com> Subject: [PW!] [ISLAND] Bellsprout And The Hidden Colony Date: Tuesday, April 13, 1999 8:26 PM Derrick was walking with his group and got side tracked. He was bored out of his mind and wandered in the forest. It was high noon now, and getting hot. "I guess it's time to go back?" "Paras." "Bell...." They agreed and were tired of hiking, so Derrick let them ride in his backpack. On his way back, he noticed something shinning in the distance. It was flying closer and closer. Derrick ducked and the huge object flew by with tremendous force landing in and exploding a few nearby trees. "Huh?" A girl in a Team Rocket uniform with a huge lancher appeared. "Sneaking up on us, ehh?" "I don't know what you're talking about.." "Liar! Our secret lookout camp is over there!" she pointed to a group of rugged tents with the letter R in red."You realize we'll have to kill you, or our plans will be spoiled!" Another TR member came up. "Dispose of him!" "This should be easy," the TR guy said as he took out his pokeballs. "!!!!!!!!" "Go, Rhyhorn!" he took out another pokeball. "Go Golem!" "Paras, go gett'em!" Paras just stayed in the backpack whining. "Huh? Ok then, go Bellsprout!" Bellsprout started screaming in horror as the two giant pokemon were glaring at it. It jumped back inside. "I guess there's only one thing left to do...RUN!" Derrick dashed away but was slowed down by the Earthquakes Ryhorn and Golem made as they were stampeding towards him. He ran and ran and ran and ran. they chased and chased and chased and chased. Soon, Derrick was back in the jungle still running. He was slowing down. "Rhyhorn!" The chunky pokemon Headbutted Derrick and he was flung ten feet away. "Hah hah hah hah hah!" the man laughed,"Now you know why no one escapes from Team Rocket alive!" "He was about to cut Derrick's throat but then gasped in horror. He had a blank expression on his face. Derrick got up and looked around. Thousands of huge Victreebels were every where. "Hmmmm," Derrick thought. "There have been wild stories about Victreebel in huge colonies, but I never would imagine this is can actually be true." He took out the Pokedex he had borrowed from Prof. Oak. "Victreebel," It explained. "They are said to live in huge colonies deep in jungles. However, no one has ever returned from there." "Really?" the TR member said. 'Then that means a picture would be worth millions!" He took out his camera and was about to snap. The Victreebel turned towards him and whiped him and his pokemon sky high. They then stared at Derrick and glared. Bellsprout was peeking out of the backpack and shivered in fright. To Be Continued
