From: <maximus@stny.lrun.com> Subject: [PW!] The Skag Saga Day One (for easier reading) Date: Friday, April 23, 1999 10:59 PM Skag walked up to the Pokedex Registration counter. It looked like a toll booth in the middle of a small room. There was no line. Then again, most trainers start training pokemon at the age of 10, Skag's excuse being "I slept in". Trying to look as in-control as possible, he looked the clerk in the eye and slid his Pokedex claim under the glass. "Oh... it's you..." the clerk mumbled. He was clearly bored out of his skull. "Yeah, I'm here to claim my pokedex" Skag replied in the most suave voice he could muster. "No kidding. Let's see here... Name: Skag. Ooh, the name fits the face this time...." Skag frowned slightly, "Well I don't think I look tha-" He was cut off by the clerk, "Age:16... Height:6ft...Reason For Being a Trainer: Global Domination. Global Domination? Like I haven't heard THAT one before!" "Just gimme the Pokedex, okay???" "Yeesh, somebody didn't take their Ex-Lax today... here ya go, Scab" "SKAG!" "Whatever." The clerk pushed the button and a Pokedex came out of a slot next to the booth. It was blue, and looked rather old. Skag took it and put the device in his pocket. "Oh yeah, here's yer four free pokeballs for being so punctual, Scab. Go and make some friends...may God have mercy on their souls". Skag gritted his teeth, pulled out a notebook, and began writing something in it. "What's that?" The clerk inquired. "When I take over the world, I'm going to read over this list and kill everybody on it! Congratulations, you're number two..." Skag replied. "..and who's the first one on your list?" Skag looked off into the distance, his eyes narrowed into slits. He almost whispered the next two words, "Barbra Streisand....." With that, Skag left the office. He traveled up a hill until he was at the top, overlooking Pewter city. He called out his pokemon, Krappy, and opened up his pokedex. "See all this, guys? This is our destiny... right before us lays the first step to ta-" "Why don't you shut the hell up..." "Who said that??" Skag whirled around. Seeing nothing, he scanned for any other people or pokemon. "I did... Yer pokedex. Why don't you just shut up... I don't need to hear your stupid 'mission'!" "My pokedex??" Skag said to himself. Then to his pokedex, "Sorry, but you don't have to be such a jerk about it." "Look here, I'm tailored to your personality. So if I'm a jerk, that must mean that you're a rotten piece of s-" Skag closed the pokedex and put it away. "Okay Krappy, see all that? That's our destiny. You and I are going to rule this planet and everybody on it! Are you ready?" The Krabby stared at Skag, looked at the Pewter gym, and started foaming at the mouth. "That's my krabby! Let's go kick some poke-butt!" Skag exclaimed as he called Krappy back. "Oh yeah, that was really original. You stupid putz, don't expect me to identify any pokemon for you! You can't just shut me up like that!" The pokedex's voice was muffled inside Skag's pocket, but audible. Skag ignored the annoyance and looked ahead as he walked. He felt confident that he was going to be the greatest leader the world has ever seen. Next: Another one bites the dust.... Pokedex:"Oh yeah, I'm sure you thought that one up AAALLLL by yourself!" (if this works, its because earlier i used the space key to indent paragraphs...which is no good i guess) -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
