From: Dryad48 <dryad48@aol.com> Subject: [PW!] Run Dern, Run Date: Saturday, June 26, 1999 12:59 AM (Finally got off my lazy ass and wrote sumthin, as if anybody noticed) After weeks of searching throughout Celadon City for Derrick and Kathy, Dern was quite pissed. Back in Fuschia City, they promised to meet up near the west side of Celadon. Derrick took a boat there and Kathy rented a bike, like Dern. However, Dern didn't think that after what Kathy did back in the canyon, that she could even climb onto a bike. Well, he was proven wrong when she zoomed by, clouding him with dust. She was most definately lurking around the city. As for Derrick, he met up with Sirius after his battle against the Elite Four and was hauled to a place called Ivory Island. Derrick is clueless as to what the place is and why he's there. "That's it!" Dern kicked an empty soda pop can off the roof of the Celadon Department Store. "Sigh, I think I need to start fullfilling MY pokemon wishes instead of following that snobby, irritating, brat, and that plant obsessive, paranoid, freak!" Dern headed for the elevator after gulping up his fourteenth soda can. "Maybe... Lavender Town for a ghost, or Saffron for a psychic." He turned to see a man reading a newspaper. "What are you looking at?" the man asked. "Oh, I was just reading the. . . headlines." "Well, it says here that the court has allowed the prosecutor and other lawyers to start putting witnesses on the stand." "Aww, man.." "What is it?" The guy took a good look at Dern. "Say, you're the one who's Muk started this whole mess!" "Um, yeah. . . ." The man's eyes lit up and he reached into his coat too pull out . . . a camera and a notepad. "Could you tell me what happened!? I want all the details! What will you do to your Muk after the trial?!" "AHHHHHHH!!!!" As soon as the elevator door opened up, Dern ran out of the shopping center screaming at the top of his lungs. "Wait, I'm not done! What about bla bla bla? And etc etc etc?" "The pokemon center!" Dern thought. "I'll be safe there, no one will find me there hehehe!" Dern fled miles to the other side of Celadon that day until he got the the center. "Ahhhh, relaxa..." BAM! The door whooshed open, slamming into Dern's face. "Hey, you're the guy with the Muk!" Dern looked up, it was the girl with the Weezing! "Hi, we have to be put on the stand soon, so why don't we . . . ." "No time to talk! It's a stampede!!!" The girl dashed ahead. Dern looked inside to see many, many news reporters inside the Pokemon Center rushing out, now to him also, with millions of long, pointless questions. "Wait for me!!" Dern ran to catch up with the girl. "I think now's the time to call out our pokemon!" The girl shouted. "By the way, my name's Fern." "Oh, I'm Dern." Coincidence? They sent out their pokemon, Dern with the Hypno, and Fern with the Alakazam. "Psychic attack!" she commanded. "Hold on." "What?" "We don't want to hurt them." "You have a better idea?" "Yeah." They stopped in front of a large office building with reflecting windows. Dern took out a scarf and blindfolded Hypno. "Use Hypnosis!" Dern turned Hypno towards the building. Hypno did nothing. "Come on! This is a life or death matter!" Hypno did as ordered and started Hypnotizing the office building. Dern and Fern covered their eyes as Hypno swung his pendulum chanting. Ok, stop." There was silence. Dern and Fern look up to see every reporter was hypnotized. "You must do as I command!" Dern shouted. Two Team Rocket members walked by. Dern pointed to them. "You would rather do a newsreport on young rocket members." Everyone nodded. "Hypno," it clapped it's hands putting the reporters out of their trance. They saw the rocket members and ran in their direction, succeding in crowding around on of them, and started asking millions of endless, pointless, and tasteless questions. "Save yourself!" he screamed to the other Rocket. Dern and his new aquantance took a few deep breaths. "Finally," she said, "the rampage of destruction is over." "Destruction?" "Mental. My sis was involved in something similar to this before. She never went back to normal." "Wha?" "From now on, everytime she see's a camera in the house, she screams at the top of her lungs. Then, she runs into the closest bathroom, locks the door, and sits in the farthest corner shivering for at least half a day." "I. Will be going now." Dern got up and walked at little. He turner back to see she was gone. He heard a door slam shut and ran to it. He then looked up to realize he was in front of the Pokemon Courthouse all that time. Dern slowly strided in. "Are you ready?" "Huh?" Dern turned to see her. "Today, we testify in a later to be broadcasted courtroom." "Gulp." To Be Continued [Comment's?] [What's the point?
