Subject: [PW!][PKMN-AUCTION] Dan wins some new Pokémon Date: 5 Apr 1999 23:07:56 GMT From: kirb9701@aol.computer (Kirb9701) Organization: AOL http://www.aol.com Newsgroups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon The actual auction was starting, so Dan decided to go over and try to get some new Pokemon. As he walked over, a Charmander was just auctioned off. "Darn! I missed my chance," Dan said. He was hoping to get a good Pokemon while he was here, like Charmander or Squirtle, two Pokemon he had never caught. "Next up, these two Eevees!" the auctioneer said. Eevee was one of Dan's favorite Pokemon. "I've got to get those Eevees," he said. Everyone watched as two small, scared Eevees were led out from a large group of them. "Let the bidding begin at $500!" "$500!" someone shouted. "$600!" "$1000!" "$1500!" "$2000!" "Any more bids?" the auctioneer asked. Dan couldn't miss those Eevees. "$5000!" he shouted. "Any more? Going once, going twice, Sold!" Dan ran up to get the Eevees. "Here you go," a man said as he handed Dan the Eevees. "And here are their Pokéballs." He handed Dan two Pokéballs. He was about to walk off with the Eevees when he heard something that froze him in his tracks. "Next, this fine Squirtle!" Dan gasped. He had missed out on the Charmander, but he was determined not to miss the Squirtle. "The bidding will start at $100!" the auctioneer said. "$100!" a bidder shouted. "$500!" Dan said. "$700!" "$1000!" "$1500!" "$2000!" "Any more bids?... Going once, going twice, sold!" "All right!" Dan said as he went up to claim his new Squirtle. "You again?" the man said, laughing. "Here you go." He handed Dan the Squirtle, inside its Pokéball. He called Squirtle out and put the Pokéball in his backpack. Dan walked away from the auctioning area, with his new Eevees, Vaporeon, and his new Squirtle next to him. He walked up to a Pokémon food booth and bought food for the new Pokémon. He sat on a bench and started feeding his Eevees and Squirtle. Vaporeon looked a little hungry, so he was given some food too. -------------------------------------------------------------- Does anyone want to interact with my character? I'd like to meet some of the other people writing about the auction in my story. Gotta catch 'em all, Pokemon! "Come right this way!" "No, not me, Psyduck!" "Don't be so hard on yourself, you're as pretty as any Psyduck!" -Misty and TR, "Pokémon Fashion Flash!" Dan Pokemon collection status: Owns [139]
