From: MTSowbug <mtsowbug@aohell.com> Subject: [PW!] [Clan Caterpie] Icy's in the ER! Date: Saturday, May 15, 1999 7:57 AM Recently lots of stuff happened... which involved Icy encountering Mewtwo again and Insanellama rushing Icy to Fuscia City pokecenter via a well-trained Rapidash. Phoo is now in the pokecenter. Phoo hid amougnst Clan Caterpie, as he was not visible from inside their mass. Insanellama and Nova were talking to each other. Phoo was a bit worreid. He thought, "Hmm... I wonder... what could have possibly happened to Icy? Could it have been... ??? Hmm... quite possibly what I expected. This... is bad, very very bad. I'd better... go speak to him..." Phoo scurried up to the door to the ER, but found it guarded by a pair of Chanseys. "Hmm... well, let's see. This could be a bundle... Aurelia, please come out now!" Phoo said aloud, as Aurelia the Chansey emerged from her pokeball in a flash of light. Phoo's claw lit up with white energy, and touched Aurelia, giving her commands via mental communication. The Chansey nodded in understanding, and Phoo jumped into Aurelia's pouch, along with Aurelia's egg. *** From the perspective of Aurelia *** Aurelia moved towards the door. The other Chanseys looked at her. "Chansey, chan chan chan-sii!" one of them cried out in a beautiful voice, putting a cute hospital hat on Aurelia's head, and letting her pass. She felt Phoo giving her directions to where he felt Icy's room to be. Numerous Nurse Joys rushed up and down the long, sterile hallway, giving Aurelia broad smiles. Aurelia finally came to the door that Phoo had directed her to, room number 29. Aurelia jumped right through the unlocked door, which swung open with her force. She bounded into the room, and Phoo got knocked out of her pouch. Aurelia smiled a glorious, pround grin. *** Back to the perspective of Phoo *** Phoo looked up, after tumbling from Aurelia's pouch. Icy was lying down in a bed, with IVs connected to him everywhere. Icy's body was horribly scarred with burns, and he was semi-conscious. A monitor showing his heart's beating, however, did show that Icy had a stable heartbeat. Phoo stealthily crawled up the foot of the bed, and peered over it. The bed was much too large for Icy, of course, and had a white sheet on it. Even though Icy was in a bad condition, his eyes showed a sparkle of intelligence and revenge. Phoo crawled up to Icy's end of the bed. He looked up at Icy, who still didn't notice him. Phoo spoke aloud, "Hello... Icy. It seems... something of a horrid nature has been at you. May I take a guess? ... Mewtwo, perchance?" Icy was a little spooked by seeing Phoo appear right next to him, but responded, "Yes, you are quite correct. How did you know? Some sort of talented guess?" Phoo stood still for a moment, comtemplating whether to tell Icy or not. "Here, this will make it a lot clearer to you... and easier for me," Phoo said to Icy. Phoo lifted up one of his small cockroach legs, which started to shine brightly. It came down slowly and touched Icy. The mental link was established. Phoo thought to Icy, "There... speaking is much too difficult for... me." Icy responded, "Well, how intriguing. Here in the same room, a psychic Pikachu and a psychic cockroach. What a scarce possibility. So anyway, how did you know it was Mewtwo who attacked me?" "Well... you did ask before why I was here..." "Yes?" "Hmm... I will make it clear to you, Icy. I will not hide my mission objectives any longer from you. I am here to help you defeat the Mewtwo." "What? That is not what I would have expected." "It is the truth, so listen. I came to this plane from Celadon City, hearing that someone had encountered... and survived... the wrath of Mewtwo. I went searching all over Celadon for this being, until I discovered it was you." "..." "Yes, hmm... well, I have been tracking you, and I have come to you. You, Icy... are a hope for this world. Mewtwo... unbridled, could destroy everything you hold dear. Icy... you are one of a kind, you know." "Yes, but what exactly are you referring to?" "Icy... you were once human, I know that. You have experienced life on both sides of intelligence here: human and pokemon. Mewtwo's fury is aimed at humans, but he has sympathy for pokemon. You... Icy, could..." "Cross the gap for Mewtwo to see across?" "Yes, of course. You catch on quickly. Icy... your power is also great enough that... you can survive when Mewtwo attacks you. This has been shown... and proven." Icy was a bit flattered by this comment. "You can help us defeat Mewtwo. We can curb his vengeance, and possibly... just possibly, somehow lower his power. I am here... to help fight this evil, this coming darkness. I myself... could not complete this task... for although I may have the power, I am not from this plane." "It figures. There are few cockroaches of your stature down here," Icy thought, with a chuckle. "Hmm... correct you are. For the present, all that concerns me is that I make sure no future harm should come to you, and that you build up your power. Eventually, as fate command it, you will meet Mewtwo again." "Why wait for him?" "Coming to Mewtwo would be suicide. Only to let him come to you would be safe. Oh, Icy... I have so much more to tell you, but now is not the time." Icy and Phoo paused, and tried to understand what had been said. Meanwhile, Aurelia was tasting some refreshing hospital water from a nearby faucet. OOC: Whew! How long was that monotonous dictation? "They taste salty" - Cassidy Wright No, my name isn't Cassidy! A wok is a Chinese cooking device oftentimes used to make stirfries. In a melodious voice, she cried out, "Chan-siiiiiii!!!"
