From: Sir Maximus <maximus@stny.lrun.com> Subject: [PW!] LOOK OUT! Skag's got trouble!! Date: Monday, May 03, 1999 7:31 PM The road to Vermillion city was just like the road to Cerulean. Boring. "So Skag, who was the unlucky lady?" Ekard asked, half smirking. Skag sighed, "What the heck.... It was in Pewter..." Skag told the story. Except for the exaggerations, it was all true. "...and after I saved her from the 20 foot Charlizard, she said 'Oh Skag, you're too good for me. Find somebody worthy of your love... goodbye.' Then she died a horrible, painful death, and I laughed!!!" "No... how did it REALLY happen?" "Bleh... I'll stick to that version for now." "Heh...world domination. Were you on drugs at the time or something??" "LOOK! The plan was perfect at the time! Then a bunch of other things came along." "You still gonna try?" "No...I'm through with the dictator thing. Hey, what's that up ahead?" Ekard squinted, "Looks like a sign..." It was. A small wooden sign had a piece of paper attached to it. On the paper, a message was scrawled in pencil: "Donna was here. Ash is a loser! I mean.... Skag is a loser!" Ekard laughed out loud, "Thy fair damsel still liketh thou! HAHAHAHA!" Skag wasn't laughing, "Shut up. Last thing I need is her to think that I'm still trying to take over the world." The two trudged on, stopping only to wait for a couple of psyducks to pass. Both agreeing that psyducks were worthless, they ignored the only wild pokemon they had seen in hours. "Pokedex, are you SURE wild pokemon aren't extinct??" "Look! I said it 50 f*cking times already! THEY ARE NOT EXTINCT!" "Sorry, I was just wondering..." "I DON'T CARE! YOU KEEP ASKING! Why don't you capture a growlithe and name it Clue so at least you'd have one!" The pokedex shot back. "Ekard, is it me, or does the pokedex need a ride?" Ekard replied knowingly, "Yes, he looks like he needs to get somewhere fast". Skag smiled and hurled the pokedex as far as he could in front of him. "We'll catch up with him later." Skag said trying to stifle a laugh. "Um...looks like the pokedex caught up to somebody else!" Ekard pointed ahead. Skag stared, there up ahead, was a familiar sight. A lone girl with blue hair was on the ground rubbing her head and cursing. Ekard noticed Skag's astonished look. "Woo hoo hoo! That's her isn't it!?" "Yep...and she's pissed off..." Skag muttered. "Lets go help her out. Maybe she lost her memory and you'll get a second chance!" Skag stayed a good distance behind while Ekard walked up to Donna and helped her up. "Sorry about that. I got mad at it and-" "Don't you try to trick me, you little brat! I know this pokedex ANYWHERE! Where are you Skag??" Donna looked around and called out. Skag emerged from behind a tree. "Hi...Donna...heh heh..." Skag said nervously. Getting a good look at her, she was wearing some kind of weird costume. It reminded him of a less bulky space suit crossed with something you'd see a power ranger wearing. "Nice costume, by the way." "It's not a costume! It's a uniform! It's a high powered, maximum defense super suit with Servo-assisted movement!!" "REALLY?" "No... but it will be once I get the cash! You see, I just founded TEAM BLASTOFF!! And We're gonna rule the world!" Ekard interrupted, "Is that just a take-off on Team Rocket?" "NO!!!" "Right. And I'm sure that whenever you lose you say 'Team Blastoff is rocketing off again!' heh heh" "How did yo- RRGGHH!! Nevermind that! I have a score to settle! DITTO, MAGNEMITE GOOOOO!!!!" Donna yelled as she threw out 2 pokeballs. In a flash, two of her three pokemon were ready to battle. "Oh yeah? CHAMP, KYODAI.. GO!!" Skag called out his two fighting pokemon. Champ, the tough hitmonchan, and Kyodai, the ruthless hitmonlee. "Okay guys, Go- Huh???" Skag stopped as he saw Champ and Kyodai start duking it out right in front of him. Seems that they also had a score to settle. Skag had to choose. "Champ, return! Kyodai, you can take them!" "hitmonlee....HA!" Kyodai assumed his fighting stance and eyed the ditto. The magnemite hovered for a moment and flew behind Kyodai for a surprise tackle attack. Kyodai saw him and jump kicked the magnemite. He then spun around and was about to punch the ditto, but was faced with himself. Skag cursed, "This might not be good." Kyodai issued forth a series of kicks and punches, all blocked with an oposite counter. "Kyodai! He's mirroring you! Think of something else!" "Lee...." Kyodai said as he began to focus energy, "Hit......mon...leeeeYAAAA!!" Kyodai was a blur of kicks and punches, the ditto was doing a pretty good job of countering all the attacks. But Skag and Kyodai both knew that it wouldnt last. Then, ditto snapped. Kyodai hit it repeatedly and it slowly started reforming into the pink glob that it was. "Pidgey, Go!" Skag threw the pokeball and Pidgey was able to gust attack the magnemite just as it was about to thunderbolt Kyodai. Donna knew she was in trouble. "Where'd you get THEM from??" "I picked them up along the way. Now, can we make up and go our seperate ways? Please?" "NEVER!! Ditto, Magnemite, RETURN! I'll get you next time Skag...NEXT TIME!!!" Donna yelled, shaking her fist. Before Skag could answer, she ran into a nearby thicket and vanished. Ekard walked up to Skag, "What a cheap 'Inspector Gadget' ripoff." "What?" "Nevermind. Got any other chicks I don't know about?" Skag sighed as he called back his pokemon, "Nope...just her." "Sucks to be you. Where next?" Ekard inquired as he handed Skag the pokedex. "Onward! To our destinies!!" Ekard sighed and followed, "When does our destiny get EXCITING?" Skag just looked at Ekard in a puzzled fashion. Ekard laughed and they continued on they're way. Next: Still Goin...nothing outlasts the road to Vermillion.
