From: SnowCalico <snowcalico@aol.com> Subject: [PW] My Dinner With Mortimer Date: Saturday, June 26, 1999 5:07 PM Clover yawned and rubbed her eyes, seeing the morning light passing through the window of the Poke Center. Looking beside her she saw her Snorlaxes, Somnia and Doze doing what their species did best, sleep. She didn't see Vinnie (her Likitung) though, and was about to panic when she realised he was staring longingly at the plastic tree near the door. "Vinnie, you have GOT to learn not to fall head over heels for everything you see. You're going to end up heartbroken alot." sighed Clover, picking Vinnie up. "Liki liki" he nodded "Lets have some breakfast, than we can start on our way to Pewter." ----------------------- After breakfast, Clover put Somnia and Doze back in their pokeballs, and after purchasing some more pokeballs and other supplies, headed to Pewter. Viridian Forest seemed awful scary, until she saw the group of kids with bug nets. The Pokemon bugs seemed to enjoy fooling them, and Clover swore she even saw a Caterpie smile. When she got out of Viridian Forest, she came upon a vast field. Something didn't seem right about the field at all, but, deciding she was just being paranoid she set foot into it. Within minutes she heard rustling from all around her, and she and Vinnie were shivering like branches in a hurricane. Suddenly, from out of the grass popped hundreds of....PIKACHU! "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Clover, but she could not run, the cute but dangerous critters had surrounded her, and now were dancing in a circle around her, chanting "Pika PIKA Pika PIKA!" The Pikachus managed to tie up Clover and Vinnie to stakes, and then disappeared. "Where have they gone?" Clover blinked She was answered when the most ugly and deformed Pikachu you have ever seen crept from out of the brush. He had long arms and was very skinny, with sharp fangs and a lazy eye. He couldn't even talk right, he just said "Pi-duhhhh" Just as the beast was closing in on clover, a flash of purplewizzed by and the beast was on its back, tied up. Clover then noticed the owner standing nearby. It was Roman! The red haired Rocket who she had seen before. Man was he cute! "I see you've met Mortimer." Roman commented, untying Clover and Vinnie. "Mortimer?" Clover said, confused "See, this field is inhabitated by a tribe of Pikachu." Roman explained " Sadly, one day a reject was born, a Pikachu so UNcute, it was denied to exist. However, Mortimer was fierce and wild, so the Pikachu tribe makes sacrifices to him to keep him from killing them. Good thing my Tony is the fastest Nidoran Male around! Well, I guess I'll see you.." "Wait!" yelled Clover It was too late, Roman had vanished. In complete and utter wonder, Clover continued on to Pewter.
