From: Otaku67 <otaku67@aol.com> Subject: [PW!][NC] Detour to Stone town Date: Monday, June 07, 1999 3:07 PM On her way to Vermelion city, Tina came upon a fork in the road. She saw a small sign that read "Stone town, 3 miles ahead." And then another one pointing the other way that read "Vermelion city, 1 mile ahead." After considering her options, Tina decided to stop in the quaint town for a short vacation. She turned and headed to the quaint town. As she headed foward, Tina heard a small sound. "Vee." Glancing down, she spoted a small Eevee that looked about 5 or 6 years old. Considering Eevees lived to thier 70's, it was quite young. She crouctched down and held out a small piece of food in her hand. "Are you hungry?" The Eevee scurried into a bush. "Hmm, Sandshrew, see if you can talk to her." "No problemo chief." Tina sighed. She never should have let Sandshrew watch those old tapes her dad had laying around. "Shrew?" "Vee..Eevee, Eev." "Sand! Sand, Sandshrew!" "Veeee...." Sandshrew tunred back to Tina. "She said her master abandonded her and her mother when she was born. A trainer captured her mother, and she dosn't like humans." Tina nodded, and bent down. "Hang on, this won't hurt." She sprayed the small fox like creature with a potion. The Eevee took a step foward and licked Tinas hand. Her heart melted, and Tina picked up the Eevee, who struggled a bit, but relaxed when Tina stroked its tail. Eevee looked up at Tina, and licked her face. She got the message, and continued walking into town with Eevee in her arms. Sandshrew walked behind, munching a bag of chips. As soon as Tina got to Stone town, she was surprised to say the least. A huge NO EEVEE'S sign was posted, along with smaller signs prohibiting Jolteons, Flareons and Vaporeons. "Uh oh..." Tina saw a welcome wagon ariving, complete with pitchforks and rocks. "No Eevees allowed!" One woman shouted. "Furballs go home!" A lanky man yelled, tossing a rock at Tina. Sandshrew growled. "Just say the word, and i'll slash 'em to ribbons." But Tina decided not to attack, and held Sandshrew back. "Listen to me! I found this Eevee abandonded on the way over here. All i want is a place to spend the night in peace!" Tina held up her arms, attempting to plead with the mob. The crowd grew silent for a few seconds, and hushed wispers were heard. Then a small rock struck Tina in the head. "Sandshrew?" "Yeah?" "Now you can kill them." Sandshrew did a little dance of happiness, and slashed away at the townspeople, ripping there clothes to shreds. The mob ran off screaming. Only a single man remained. He was dressed in a green sweater with brown pants, and a wave of brown hair was curled on his forehead. "Wow..." Tina's hearts filled with eyes. "Yo, Tina!" Sandshrew waved his hand in her face. "Whats with you? Earth calling Tina." A gentle knock on the head brought her out of the trance. The man aproched her, and bowed. "I apologize for my towns rudeness. I am the Mayor of stone town. Please come to my house, and i will explain everything. Once inside the mayors house, Tina relaxed a little. "Oh, by the way meet my wife, Kathy." Tina did a double take, and then a small wimper. "He's already married..." "You see, 5 years ago, Nurse Joy was visiting the various, smaller towns, and handing out permits for offical gyms. Well, regardless of our towns small size, many people here only had evolved pokemon of the basic types. So it was decided that my son would try out for gym leadership, with his Eevee. But it was still young, and didnt have much experience. And it lost quite badly to a Chansey. So our town was denied a gym." Tina nodded. She could see where this story was going. "And the townspeople blamed your son and his Eevee, right?" The Mayor nodded. "I was forced to hide my Eevee and my sons Eevee in the forest." Tina gasped. "So my Eevee..." "Is really my sons. Yes. However, i feel it is unsafe for the young pokemon to be in this town, so i would like you to take her." Tina nodded and shook The Mayors hand with her free hand. As Tina left Stone town, with Eevee in a pokeball, she asked Sandshrew what he was shouting about before. Sandshrew sweatdroped. "Oh..Well, at first Eevee only saw you from the back, so she thought you were a man..." Tina facefaulted, and she swore she heard giggilng from inside Eevee's pokeball.
