Date: Tuesday, May 11, 1999 1:22 PM ~~~ Trunks made his way to Viridian City. To him, it was surprisingly longer to go back up north. On the way down to Pallet, he hadn't been attacked by any wild Pokémon. But venturing northward was another story. "Ahg! Kame, watch out for that wild Oddish!" Screamed Trunks. And Kame had no problem obeying. "Squirtle...squirtle squirtle!" But as Trunks was about to ignore the little Pokémon, he remembered he had purchased five Poké Balls before he left for Pallet. And he knew exactly what he'd do with one of them.... "Alright then, Kame, use..." Trunks takes out his Pokédex, and it reveals Kame's attacks. Tackle Tail Whip "Ah...okay. Weaken it with TAIL WHIP!" But Kame shakes its head. In the process, it allows Oddish to attack with ABSORB. Kame is only SLIGHTLY winded. But it's angry too. He starts yelling profanities at Trunks, and after a while, Trunks gets the idea. "Squirtle squirt squirt squirtle...(SAY PLEASE!!)" "..." Trunks gets extremely angry, "PLEEEASE," he said through gritted teeth. Kame reluctantly nods. It starts to shake it's tail and...DOES THE HUSTLE!?!?! "Wha--?" Trunks is clueless. He hadn't ever seen a tail Whip attack like this. But it was bringing results. Surprisingly. But that's all he needed. "OddishOddishOddish..." Oddish wheezes, and drowzily uses its Absorb. The attack hit harder than the previous one, and Trunks knows it's time to get back on the offensive line of thoughts. "Good Kame. USE TACKLE ATTACK!" Kame is about to refuse, and Trunks piped up; "Please..." Trunks sighed. But it was satisfactory. "Squirtle squirtle SQUIRTLE!!" It crise, and bombards Oddish with a barrage of hits from its shell; Squirtle has it's own unique way of tackling, by spinning around and repeatedly smacking Oddish across the face with its shell. Trunks shows sympathy for the poor Oddish, but then focuses on the business at hand. He whips out a Poké Ball, and carefully aims the sphere. ~~~ He timed it perfectly. Nothing could have gone wrong. The ball was heading straight for Oddish when.... "Nope, sorry, ain't gonna happen." A boy said, and slapped the ball away. "What the--?" Trunks protested, and stopped cold. His eyes beheld a boy whom Trunks held in low regard, but in great fear. Andrew Cloid. "Android" was his nickname. And making life a living HELL for Trunks is was his game. ~~~ TBC! I hope you all enjoyed it, and I still feel so bad for that poor Oddish.... trunksdabomb ---- I am the ultimate super-saiya-jin. No really, I am. Why don't you believe me!?!
