From: el Pegaso <nathan@computerland.net> Subject: [OW!] [MSP3K] The start... Date: Friday, May 21, 1999 9:41 PM Erik blinked. His memory was failing him rapidly, but slowly regaining some sense of feeling in the back of his head. His sight, too, was becoming...un-fuzzy. The pain in the back of his head was the first to register, however. "Ow!" He rubbed the knot that formed, and proceeded to get up and observe his surroundings. Metal casings, bolts, video monitors and a rather sizeable control table filled his line of sight. This was definitely not the Safari Zone... No exits. The only view he could get from his location was a night sky. The only other way open to him was down a long tunnel to a viewing room of sorts. A kind of theater, if you will... The feeling that he was being watched was felt, and that omnious feeling didn't go away. The obvious question remained to Erik. "Where the Smeg am I?" He caught a slithering motion out the corner of his eye. He ignored it and continued to think. The last thing he remembered was going down a long dark tunnel that appeared underneath the Safari Zone with his friends, his Pokemon "special cases". How could he wind up in...this place? He caught the slither again. Only this time he DID see it. "Hello?" he asked wearily. He started backing up, and bumped into a shape. Spinning around, he wound up face to face with the largest Ekans he had ever seen. "AHHHHHHH!" he screamed, making as much space between himself and the Ekans as possible. "AHHHHHH!" echoed the snake, in word and deed. "Ahhh!" "Ahhh!" "Ahh!" "Ahh!" "Umm." Erik stared. You are...a Pokemon?" His curiosity overwhelmed him. "You are...Metal?" "No, I'm Gypkans." replied the purple snake, in a gravelly tone. The metal Ekans turned about face and went about her duties, leaving the confused assistant Game Warden to ponder. "Gypkans?" "Yeah...don't mind her," came a high pitched digital voice. "She controls the higher functions of the ship, and is usually..." "...Ditzy?" replied the other deeper voice. Erik spun around again to see a couple more metal Pokemon, a Psyduck and a Jigglypuff. "You should know that, Erik, you designed us," chided the Psyduck, dubbed 'Psycrow' on it's exterior. "Jeez, some people..." retorted the Jigglypuff, having "Jig Puff" embedded in his side. "They pass out after a little conk to the head and then they forget all about you." "Jig Puff? Psycrow? It's funny, but I don't seem to remember you..." A light started to flash, as the air started to depressurize, and the artificial gravity started to let up. "What's...what's going on?" The Pokebots looked at Erik and simply screamed, "MOVIE SIGN!" After being shot through a series of numbered openings, the trio arrived at the Theater, and Erik took his seat between Jig and Psycrow. The lights lowered as one could hear Erik ask, "A movie?" "Usually a bad one." "Just make the best of it, as always..." Erik looked up and suddenly felt hungry for a Hamdinger... ----- In the not too distant future, Next Saturday morning. There was a guy named Erik, Not too different from you or me.
