Subject: [PW!] [PKMN-Auction] Dragonite attacks.. Date: Wed, 7 Apr 1999 03:37:33 -0700 From: "Jeff" <nospamPLZziyx@geocities.comPLZnospam> Organization: Canada Internet Direct, Inc. Newsgroups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon Well, hopefully this plot twist will be interesting for all of you, and should allow me to interact in the auction.... > RK, Alice, Alysia, Jeff, Dreadite, Cartos, and Black Hole were coming > around. Mindbender filled them in on what happened. RK thought for a > moment. "So, they're still after Jeff. We'll need to be extra careful." > Just then, Electronic walked up and talked to Mindbender. He translated, > "Someone was yelling 'Next time, Dreadite" as they were running away." > "Maybe someone's after him as well?" > Dreadite laughed. "As well? Likely I was the main target!" Jeff slowly rose from the ground, dazed and shocked from all that had occured. "Charmy.. you ok?", he gently lifted the Pokemon off the ground. "Char.. charmander.", he replied, trying to shake off the paralysis that the Thunder waves had brought. Jeff scanned the "battlefield" and discovered RK's Pokemon and Mindbender to be ok. RK seemed to be talking with Dreadite about something, and then Dreadite turned and left, dragging someone named Cartos away. "What was that all about?", Jeff asked. "It's a long story..", RK replied. Jeff just blinked in confusion, what the heck was going on? Mindbender appeared equally confused. "Were those people after Jeff?" "Hmm.. I don't believe so, it appeared more like ATR to me..", RK scratched his chin thoughtfully. "ATR?", Mindbender asked. "Anti-Team Rocket, an organization which may be TR's downfall.. I believe those people were after Dreadite." Mindbender nodded. "It figures.." Jeff sighed. For once he wasn't being chased. The whole thing had him very nervous. "So.. what do we do now?" "Now? Well I have to deal with Sabrina.." "How can I help?", Jeff asked. "You can help by staying out of trouble.", Alice replied coldly. Jeff sighed. He hated being left out of everything, even though he was used to it. "... I guess." RK felt sympathy for Jeff. "Cool it Alice, give the kid a break. I'm sure I can think of something for him to--", RK was cut off by a loud screech. "What the..?" RK turned to the sound to find a Dragonite hovering in the air above them. Jeff gasped and backed off nervously, noticing the Dragonite was staring straight at him. "What is that thing!?", Jeff moved towards RK. "Its a Dragonite.. be careful, they are formidable fighters..", RK said, motioning to Electronic, whom he knew would fare reasonably well on the flying dragon. Suddenly, and without warning, the Dragonite swooped down and sped towards Jeff. "Look out!", RK cried as Jeff was struck head on by Dragonite's legs and knocked to the floor. Jeff collapsed hard, cut in the head by Dragonite's clawed feet. He clutched at his bleeding wound and struggled to get up, his mind spinning. "Electronic, knock that thing out of the sky with Thunderbolt!", RK commanded, rushing towards Jeff. "Jolt!", Jolteon replied, charging up and letting loose a powerful stream of lightning, striking the Dragonite hard and causing it to fall to the ground, injured, but still not out. RK glanced nervously at the Dragonite, it was quite experienced. "DRAGONITE!", Dragonite screeched, a blue aura forming around it. "Electronic look out! Its his Hyper--", he was cut off by a loud screeching sound as the rainbow beam of light slammed hard into the Jolteon sending it flying backwards and skidding across the ground. It then came to a rest near a pile of rocks, cut up badly. "Jolt..", Electronic gasped, before collapsing. "Dragon..", Dragonite panted, recovering from the large toll on its energy. It was Mindbender's turn. Glowing a bright red he focused his inner eye and emitted his powerful Psychic attack, viciously attacking the weary mind of the Dragonite. "GONITE!!", the Dragonite cried in pain as its mind was assaulted and it sunk to its knees. "Kazam!", Mindbender yelled, increasing the power of the attack. "Go..nite..", Dragonite swayed a bit but wasn't as affected as other Pokemon, due to its extreme intelligence. With a final burst of will it temporarily broke free of the attack and opened its mouth wide, unleashing its Dragon Rage upon Mindbender. Mindbender cried out in surprise as the attack broke his psychic concentration and sent him spiraling several meters into the air and crashing to the ground below. He was hurt, but not out of the fight. "Damn..", Mindbender cursed, struggling to his feet. However his delay was enough for Dragonite to recover and speed towards Charmy who was still clutching his head in pain. "Charr!", Charmy cried, pointing at the Dragonite speeding towards them. "Dra DRAGONITE!", it screeched swooping over the Charmander and gripping it in its claws. "CHARMY!! NOO!!", Jeff screamed, as he jumped to grab his Pokemon, missing by inches. "CHARMANDER!!", Charmy yelped as he struggled to free himself from Dragonite's grasp. Mindbender heard his plea for help and began his Metronome attack, praying he would perform the right technique. "Kazam... kazam...", he chanted, swaying a bit, just as the Clefaries had shown him so long ago. Suddenly he opened his eyes and shot his hands forward, releasing psychic eminations. Mindbender knew he had failed, Psywave was much too weak to bring down Dragonite. "DRAAAAA!", the Dragon thrashed madly as his mind was once again attacked, but managed to shake it off and stay aloft, only clutching Charmy harder in its claws. "Charrr!!", Charmy gasped, before passing out. "Charmy! CHARMY!!", Jeff rushed after the Pokemon, sobbing madly. "Nooo!!" Within a few moments Dragonite was out of sight. Jeff sunk to his knees. "No......", he didn't fight back the tears. "no..." ----- Dragonite soon arrived at its destination, Celadon city, and spiralled towards the ground, beginning a slow decent towards the bustling metropolis. Giovanni glanced up from his conversation with Jessie to see the Dragonite land gracefully in front of him. "Ahh.. excellent.", Giovanni smiled as Dragonite gently deposited the unconcious Charmander on the ground in front of him. "Dragonite, return.", he pulled a Pokeball from his belt and returned the Dragon. He smiled. "Dragonite, so intelligent and obediant..", he chuckled as he picked up Charmy off the floor by his tail, dangling him in front of the grinning Rocket leader. "Well.. it isn't the specimen I wanted.. but it will do for now.." "What is that?", Jessie asked. "I shouldn't bother telling you, you've failed to capture any Pokemon in months..", Giovanni glared at the red-haired woman, who stepped back nervously. "Well, its all James fault! He always messes up my perfect plans!", Jessie pointed a finger at the bishounen, who was conversing with Meowth. He looked up, angered by Jessie's accusation. "It wasn't my fault Dratini escaped! There was this Pikachu and.." "A Pikachu again?", Giovanni's lips curled, having heard this story hundreds of times before. It seems Pikachu were destined to plague all their plans. "We won't fail you again!", Jessie said, forcing determination into her voice. She then stared at the small Charmander. "How is that little runt special?" "Cinnabar labs has been looking for this Charmander for awhile, as well as another specimen I have yet to identify. Apparently they are test subjects left over from the Mewtwo project." "The Mewtwo project?", Jessie recalled her own horrible experience with Mewtwo. "Yes..", Giovanni brought Charmy closer to him and then swung it from side to side like a pendulum. Jessie watched the Charmander, who's face seemed to contract in pain, even unconcious. She then stared back at Giovanni, who was glaring at her. "The Charmander has some psychic abilities.. to what extent I don't know. However, from what I've researched, it probably isn't a very powerful one. I am still looking for the other specimen the Cinnabar labs are searching for. Information is very classified, so its going to be hard to find.." "So what are you going to do with this?", Jessie asked, losing the flow of the conversation. "Put it up for auction, with any luck, it should fetch a small price.", he tossed the Pokemon towards Jessie. Jessie was caught by surprise and failed to catch it before it fell to the ground. Giovanni sighed. Why he had not gotten rid of them long ago was beyond him. "Your dismissed, I have alot more important things to do than talk with failures such as yourselves. And please, try to make that Charmander presentable." "Yes sir..", Jessie nodded bending over and picking up the Charmander. She then left the room, dragging James behind her. Meowth followed, but not before giving a longing look at Giovanni, who was petting his Persian. "Meowth will never be top-cat again..", he sighed as he followed Jessie. ---- "I have no time to spruce up this sorry excuse for a Pokemon!", Jessie complained aloud as she headed for the auctioneer's stand. "I'm on my break, what do you want?", the man asked. Jessie thrust the Charmander into the auctioneer's hands and whispered the details of the Pokemon in his ear. The auctioneer nodded. "I'll put it up for sale next." ---- "This premium Starmie is now for sale! It has just evolved and is perfect for water trainers! Plus as a free bonus, we are giving a Bubblebeam TM to go along with it! Do I hear 1000?" "1000!", a trainer called out. "1000! Any other bidders?", the auctioneer grinned. "1200!", someone cried. "1400!" "1600!" "2000!" "2500!" "2500! Do I hear anyone else? 2500! Going once! Going twice!" "3000!" "3000 it is! Anyone else?" Silence. "Sold to the blue-haired girl in the front!", he smiled as the girl was handed a Pokeball and the happy-looking Starmie. The auctioneer then took out Charmy, who was still not-awake. He frowned as he saw it. Not much of a Pokemon. He would have to start low. Thinking up a salespitch he picked up the Charmander and placed it on the stand. "Here we have a Charmander!" The trainers who were watching the auction frowned at the unconcious Pokemon. The auctioneer noticed the reaction from the crowd and swallowed nervously. "Don't worry folks! Its just sleeping! And there is more! This particular Pokemon has been blessed with psychic abilities! Surprise your friends when you use a fire Pokemon which is more than it seems! Do I hear 200?" "200.", a trainer yawned, amused. "200! Great! Anyone else?" "Why not. 300!", someone cried from the back. "300! Do we have any more bidders? Going once!", the auctioneer sighed. "Will anyone else care for this psychic Charmander? I'll even throw in a Mega Punch TM!!" The crowd was silent. "Stupid Pokemon..", the auctioneer muttered. "Anyone? Anyone want this... uh.. great Charmander?", he scanned the crowd eagerly. ------------------------------------ Sigfile, AGNP version 1.02 ICQ: 500418 (All chainletters shall promptly place thee on my ignore list) E-mail anything Charmish to ziyx@geocities.com "LOL!" -- Maria R.
