From: Dryad48 <dryad48@aol.com> Subject: [PW!] The Old Lapras Trainer Date: Sunday, April 25, 1999 8:20 AM The storm was over, and Derrick and the old man had reached dry land. "I guess it is time to leave," the man said. "Hold it right there!" Derrick shouted. "Huh?" "Give me back my money!" "?????" "I remember you. You're that crazy coot that I met in Pallet!" "I don't recall...." "Ok, let me refresh your memory. Months ago, I had begun my quest and needed a ride to Cinnabar. I met you there who said you could take me there on your Lapras for a low cost. When we reached the island, you took all of my money as payment." "Uh....." "And now, I want my money back!" "Hey, kid I saved your life! You should gimme more money instead!" "Yeah, righ...." "Ohhh, I am right! Then I can keep this!" The old man raised Derrick's wallet, which he had succeeded in stealing again, and jumped onto Lapras. "Not so fast!" Derrick shouted. "Go Venonat!" "Venonat!" The little bug put Lapras to sleep with its Sleep Powder attack. Then, took all of the man's money. "Git back here!" he yiped. Derrick and Venonat ran off and followed a river to find a clearing in the mountains. "We should rest here." "Magnemite..." "Huh? What was that?" "Venonat?" "Must be my imagination. I really do need some rest." To Be Continued
