From: Dryad48 <dryad48@aol.com> Subject: [PW!] Misty's Turf Date: Tuesday, May 04, 1999 5:59 PM Derrick entered the Cerulean Gym after Dern had left to the pokemon center. He wandered around the aquatic rooms not knowing where to go. When he finally got to the battle arena, it was occupied by another trainer. "YESSS, I GOT THE CASCADE BADGE!" "Yeah, yeah, move along kid." Misty said yawning. "Uhh.. hello?" Derrick moved in. "This is just f#$%&@$ great!" she said. "You have any idea how many trainers I've fought these past few days?" Derrick remained silent with jittering legs. "It's a myriad number I tell you!" "I guess this is a bad time." "No, no. As a gym leader, it's my duty to battle you weaklings." "uhh...." "One pokemon each! I'm gonna make this a quickie. I have to get ready to go to a Club!" She waited until her magenta-like face returned to normal. Then, she calmly said, "Choose yours first." "I choose Weepinbell," Derrick said in a frightened tone. "This should be easy. GOOO TENTACRUEL!!" "Weepinbell, use your Razor Leaf attack.." "Bell..." he nodded and spun around shooting out many leaves. "Tough luck kid, Tentacruel is super strong against grass attacks! It's part poison. Use your Barrier!" Just before the leaves hit Tentacruel, a bright light surronded it and the leaves didn't leave a mark. "Your Weepinbell is completely useless against Tentacruel! Go ahead," Misty laughed hysterically, "Try your best shot!" "uhh, Stun Spore.." Weepinbell sprayed the powder all over Tentacruel and it started to weaken. "Allright, I think we've got it where we want it. Way to go Weepinbell!" "Not quite.." Misty said. With ease, Tentacruel went under water and washed off the dust. "She glanced at her Magikarp watch. "Look at the time! I have to go. Finish these wimps off Tentacruel!" She dashed out of the room to prepare, leaving them with the water pokemon. "??" Derrick and Weepinbell were confused now. "Blizzard attack!" Misty shouted from across the hallway. "Bell!" Weepinbell's eyes widened in fright and he screeched and dashed around the room. However, since he was too slow, the ice hit him and he froze solid. "Okay, you win." Derrick grumbled. "Tentacruel, Tentacruel!!" it cheered itself on. "Soo, how do we get out of here?" "cruel.." Tentacruel grinned and raised one of its larger tentacles. Uh oh. He swiftly batted them out of the skylight and outside the front door to the pokemon center. "At least he had good aim. Well, I guess I have to melt this ice." Derrick entered the pokemon center.........
