From: Kirb9701 <kirb9701@aol.computer> Subject: [PW!][CANYON] Taking a break Date: Saturday, May 22, 1999 3:53 PM It was morning in Grandpa Canyon. Dan was waiting very impatiently in the lobby of the small lab. He had turned in the Omanyte fossil he bought last night, and was told it would be ready in the morning. "Where are they?" he said. "The workers should be here by now. I can't get the Omanyte if they're not here!" A sleepy-looking lab worker walked through the door. Dan saw him and said, "Well, it's about time! Where's Omanyte?" "Huh?" the worker said. "Oh yes, you're the one that turned in the Omanyte fossil." "So, where's my Omanyte?" Dan asked. "It's in the back," the worker replied. "Just wait here." - Dan walked out of the lab carrying a Pokeball, the one that held Omanyte. "I think I'd better head back to the campsite," he said, yawning. He had gotten up at dawn to get his Omanyte at the lab. Unfortunately, he had to wait for 4 hours before the workers came. Clefairy, on the other hand, was able to sleep in. Dan was approaching the tent he slept in that night. A small pink figure was running around, apparently looking for something. "Hey Clefairy!" Dan yelled. Clefairy ran towards Dan. Then it pointed to the Pokeball in Dan's hand, saying, "Fairy clefairy? (What's that?)" "My new Pokemon, Omanyte, is in there," Dan replied, then released Omanyte. - ((Much later...)) A man came walking towards the campsite, where Dan was sitting. "Hey," he said. "Why haven't you been at the dig? Lots of people were finding valuable fossils." "I found plenty yesterday," Dan said. "Did you find anything?" "Nothing," the man said, shaking his head. "Do you have anything you want to sell?" "Actually, I do," Dan said. The man looked up. "What do you have?" he asked. "This Omastar shell," Dan said, opening up the box containing the shell. The man picked up the shell and examined it. "This one's in surprisingly good condition," he said after a while. "I'll give you 600 coins for it." "Ok," Dan said, and took the two bills he was given. One was equivalent to 500 coins and the other was 100. "Great!" he said after the man walked away. "That more than makes up for the entrance fee!" Dan stood up and watched the people digging for fossils. Clefairy and Omanyte joined him. --------------------------------------- Dan A bit removed from the action...
