From: Laeophie <laeophie@aol.comeleon> Subject: [PW!] The Road to the Pokémon League goes through... the Pokémon League HQ Date: Sunday, April 25, 1999 11:50 AM Sirius arrived in Viridian City a few hours after he left. He searched the city for a Pokémon Center and entered it. As soon as he the door closed behind him, he was stopped by Orion. "Uh... hi," said Sirius. Orion was wearing sunglasses and a suit. "Did you get Dreadite?" "No. Do you intend on getting an Earth Badge or not?" "Of course." "Then follow me. You won't need your Pokémon." The door to the Viridian City Gym opened. Sirius and Orion walked inside. Giovanni was sitting in a chair at the end of the Gym. The Rocket guards looked at him, waiting for a command. Giovanni shook his head, allowing Sirius and Orion to pass through unharmed. "What do you want?" asked Giovanni. "I have a message from Lance," replied Orion. "And you owe Sirius here an Earth Badge." Before Giovanni could respond, Orion continued. "The League is tired of you. We saw your little stunt in the Pokémon Auction. There are plenty of good Ground Pokémon trainers out there, myself included, and the League will not hesitate to dispose of you. If you do anything like that again, the Pokémon League will not only fire you but will also crush your little organization. So we suggest you begin to play by the rules, to clean up your act." Sirius was shocked. Who did Orion think he is? Giovanni looked angry for a moment, then chuckled. "I'll consider it. Here's your Earth Badge." Sirius, startled at Giovanni's response, took the Earth Badge. Orion thanked him and they left the Gym. A few agents were waiting outside. Seeing the two leave, they walked away. "Victory Road's that way. Let's go." TBC... Jimmy Vu See my Pokémon FAQ at http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/gameboy/faq/pokemon_m.txt Or, just go to www.gamefaqs.com
