Mimic, as a Ponyta, used his teeth to pick up Slasher by the scruff of his neck, and flung the feline onto his back. Unfortunately, taking care of his companion cost him enough ground that his rear hooves were now in the Caterpie wave. "SIAN!" "Mimic know, Mimic know. Slasher about learn surf!" "Pur..rrrr?!?" Slasher knew that Persians could not learn Surf. [If you want background music for this part, I reccomend "Wipeout". ^_-] Mimic morphed into a surfboard, with Slasher still on top. The feline dug his claws in and clung for dear life, as the momentum of the wave carried them halfway up. As fast as the wave was going, it did not take long to reach Pewter. People scattered out of the way as the wave washed through, turning with a mind of its own, doing three complete loops around the Pewter Gym before heading for the local museum. Mimic and Slasher were only one and a half stories up, so the second story's wall loomed before them. "SIAAAANNNN!" "Mimic thinking. Hmm...pull up with front paws." Slasher complied, causing Mimic to ride up the wave, just barely clearing the museum's roof as the wave broke around the building...only to land on top of the wave when it re-formed on the other side. "Sian! Purrsian!" "What Slasher talking about? We safe." "Purr! Purr!" Feeling the ride grow a bit lumpier, and noticing that Slasher's eyes were now on the wave itself, Mimic looked down. The Caterpies had evolved into Metapods shortly after passing the museum. Suddenly, as if to test their new shells, the Metapods headed for the sheer cliffs to the northwest of Pewter. "Ok, *now* we have problem." The rock wall loomed closer, and closer, and higher, and the two pokemon felt themselves descend as the wave began to shrink... There was no trail; instead, Metapods began to dissapear as mysteriously as they had appeared. Right at the base of the cliff, the final two Metapods morphed into Seth and Aerie, kneeling side by side and laughing their heads off. "You were right, Seth, that *was* fun!" "Told you. Hey, Mimic, Slash - hope we didn't scare you too much." Slasher was too busy seeing his life flash before his eyes to respond, and Mimic spent the several seconds he was coasting towards the cliff wondering if he would hit. He did - at .01 MPH. TBC?
