Die!" > >Sneakers looked over her shoulder. "Whoa, there's a game like that?" > >"Rocket game technologies are very quick," Jessie explained, blowing away yet >another ATR in flash of digital gore. > >"Just got the new game before we got here," Meowth grinned. "Free, of >course, >heh heh." > >Sneakers frowned. "You're the reason all everyone was kicking me around, >weren't you? I oughta-" > >"Hey, it's not my fault humans are stupid!

With a satisfied yawn, >he curled up and fell back asleep. > >James the Psyduck waddled over and poked at the two charred Meowth. "Psy?" >They just crumbled to the ground. "Duck." He shrugged and waddled on. > >Behind some consoles he found Maria snuggling the blue haired James into >submission. "H-Help..." He cried piteously. > >"Psy yie yie..." James the Psyduck shook his head. Then he waddled on. >Coming >across a Pokeball Maria had dropped, he picked it up. "Psyduck?" > >It was one of the fake Master Balls. Coming apart, it flashed in James' >hands. > "Ekkkaaanns!" Suddenly James found himself in the coils of a green tree >Ekans. > >"PSY!" > >"Ekans?" It looked at James curiously. It seemed uncertain. > >"Psyduck duck?" > >"Ekk." > > "Hey!" shouted Sneakers. "Get back in that pokeball, boa brain!" The Ekans turned from the Psyduck towards the Meowth. "James, save your tailfeathers!" Sneakers shouted. "I'll take care of this thing!" "Then just help me already!" shouted the human James. "NOT YOU!" raged Sneakers. "THE PSYDUCK!" James the Psyduck waddled off, while James the human continued to beg for mercy. Shard shot at the Ekans like a furry missile... and found himself inside its coils. The feline struggled and struggled, but could barely slip free. Once he'd escaped, Sneakers weakly hoisted himself onto his hind legs, and grabbed a pokeball off his collar. "Bludgeon, I choose you!" The bone-toned Cubone appeared out of its pokeball, ready for combat. "Cubone bone!" it shouted ferociously. "Bone Club, NOW!" shouted Sneakers. Bludgeon walked right through the Ekans's Poison Sting and clubbed it into unconsciousness. Bludgeon then clubbed Sneakers, clubbed a Seel, and got back into its pokeball before any resident treehuggers could throw a fit. Sneakers rubbed his head, and James (the human) continued to scream in terror. TBC? Shard Fields, who can just envision Jessie taking notice of what's going on.... Then ther'd be trouble.
