From: Spawn <nmvds@aol.computers> Subject: [PW!] Crossing the Bridg--Wait, where'd it go? Date: Saturday, June 26, 1999 2:05 PM Recap: When we last left Steve, Karen, Fox, Gohan, and Giselle, they were leaving Bill's Lighthouse to arrive to Saffron City. "The bridge is coming up!" shouted Gohan. "Good," said Steve, "we're making progress!" "Hey, what's that?" Fox said, pointing to a large Pokemon up ahead. "It's road kill," Karen said in saddened anticipation as she assumed crash position. From "[PW!] Nukin' Nugget Bridge" > "Foolish Rockets!" cried Mewtwo, "You're almost as foolish as >this arogant young one! Never meddle with my plans, or you shall feel >my wrath. Tell your boss!" "Hey there, I'm Steve," Steve said as he parked. "You look like a smart guy. Can you tell me how to get to Saffron City?" "Foolish mortals, I will kill you all!" Mewtwo threatened. "Oh yeah?" Steve said as he called the bluff. "Gyarados, go!" Mewtwo simply smiled and pulled out a knife. "I always like to gut my fish before I cook 'em," he shouted. He because stabbing the Gyarados a thousand times, it's organs falling all over the bridge. "MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!" he yelled. "But I love that Gyarados," Steve insisted. "I raised it from day one. And I'm not even one of those cliche writers who buy it from someone else and have it evolve in 3 seconds. I actually trained it first." "I'm sorry," Mewtwo apologized, "I'm really not that evil of a guy. I'm just typecasted that way." "DOS!!!!" the pokemon yelled as it was being torn apart little by little. "If this doesn't get people to write comments to Spawn's stories, I don't know what will!" Mewtwo shouted. "Uh, Mewtwo, that won't work," Steve commented. "We already tried musicals, epic battles, everything. It's all pretty futile." "Well, gee then, I guess I gutted your Gyarados for nothing," Mewtwo apologized. "Guess so," Steve replied. "Don't worry, I'm omnipotent," said Mewtwo as he brought the Gyarados back to life. "Thanks," said Karen, "that's very kind of you. "Don't mention it," said Mewtwo. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I was in the middle of something important." > Mewtwo glowed bright green, and shot a thunderbolt at the >group. Score dived into the water beside the bridge followed by the >trainers. The bridge exploded and wooden slivers flew in all >directions. "Ah, cripes!" Steve yelled. "Now how are we supposed to get across?" "Gee, I'm sorry about that..." Mewtwo said. "Like I said, people keep writing me as a guy who likes to do evil things. I'm not sure why, but they do. Some people even claim I hire henchman. Now why would I need henchmen? I'm OMNIPOTENT." "People are strange," Steve muttered. "Tell me about it," Mewtwo said in agreement. "Say, if you're omnipotent, couldn't you just teleport us?" Steve asked. "Where to?" Mewtwo replied. "Brock's diner," said Gohan, "I feel like I haven't eaten in months." >Score ran up the bank and hid in the shadows beside the >gym. Mewtwo disapeared back behind the hills. **************** Later.... "Here, I'll buy you a beer," Steve offered. "Thanks, no one actually bothered to give me a job," Mewtwo explained. "Or a place to put my money if I did." "So what's it like, being omnipotent and all?" Karen asked. "It's not all it's cracked up to be," said Mewtwo. "People always wanting you around as in their stories. I mean, I can't be everywhere at once! I'm not a machine! I have needs too..." "That sounds harsh," Steve muttered. "You don't know the half of it," he sighed. "Heck, I better leave soon. Some newbie wants me in a convenient plot device he's writing soon." "Cripes, do you ever get a break?" Karen asked. "Not even the weekends!" he sobbed. "Not even the holidays. So excuse me if I have a stressful life and have to take my aggressions out on people by killing them!" "I hear ya, buddy," Steve said. "Say, you think you could help me win an upcoming Pokemon tournament that may or may not happen?" "There's an even higher power than I that would have trouble with that," Mewtwo replied. "There are rules about me, you know." "The rules say I can't kill or capture you," Steve insisted. "They don't say anything about you being me buddy and helping me out." "I'll think about it," said Mewtwo. "But right now I have to be an integral part of the writer guide for the background story of some newbie." "Good luck to you," said Steve as Mewtwo began to leave. "Thanks for the beer!" Mewtwo replied. "Nothing hits the spot like a good Miller Lite. You humans are good for something after all." "I'll second that," said Mew, who teleported out of nowhere. "It's one of the few things we DO agree on." "We like it for the choice hops," Mewtwo explained. "I think it's great because it's smooth," said Mew, surprised at Mewtwo's comment. The two glared at eachother. "Choice hops!" "Smooth!" "You're just jealous because I'm a bigger, bad ass version of you!" "You're upset because you're just a flimsy copy!" "Hold on, we're gonna take this outside," Mewtwo said as he and Mew teleported. "So," Steve looked back at everyone else, "anyone else wanna order something? -Spawn "Wise Pokemon trainers never get involved in a cat fight" -Brock To reply, remove "puters" from the e-mail address.
