From: Insanellama <insanellama316@geocities.com> Subject: [PW!] Shadowboxer and the Pika herd continue Date: Wednesday, June 02, 1999 6:47 AM When the world finally swam back into view, Shadowboxer was tied high above the ground, handing by a rope that pinned his arms to his side. He started trying to inch his arm over to his poke-belt. After about half an hour, he could just reach the one he thought was Psy. "Well, here goes nothin," he thought. He got the pokeball out of the belt, pressed the button, and dropped it. It fell down in seeming slow motion. The entire herd turned to focus on it. Then psy was out. Shadowboxer blinked once, and they were at the edge of the forest, near pewter. Shadowboxer set down to rest. He saw a little pikachu walking by. "ABRA CONFUSION NOW!" The pikachu promptly shot itself with lightning. Shadowboxer threw his pokeball, it shook 4 times, but stopped. Abra floated it back to him. Shadowboxer stumbled into town, into the pokecenter, and sat down to wait for his pokemon to be healed. By the time the nurse called his number, he felt refreshed from the nap. He walked towards the Pewter City Gym. It was just before dawn. He walked in, a sleepy eyed gym trainer tried to stop him for a match, but Shadowboxer just kept walking. When he got to the gym area, brock was busy at his computer. He didn't hear Shadowboxer's silent steps. Shadowboxer worked his way behind him. Then said "I challenge you to a match!" "Wuh?" brock said snapping up, and immediately killing the power to his pc. Shadowboxer thought of making a remark about Brock's Jenny/Joy pic site, but decided not to. "1on1," said Brock,"let's make this quick. ONIX GO!" Shadowboxer reached for his belt, "PSY GO! PSY, PSYBEAM NOW!" Abra let out a white beam of psychic energy, that slammed into onix, square in the jaw. Onix stumbled. "Better recall, he's confused, and I don't think u want that kind of repair bill" said Shadowboxer. Brock reluctantly agreed, and tossed Shadowboxer a badge. As shadowboxer walked out, he bumped into 2 men with R's on their shirts. "We'd better hurry and get up to the Great Plains, if we're gonna help with the rapidash heist." said one of them. Shadowboxer decided he'd better go up and see what he could do. He headed straight north from the gym. He saw a camp out across the grass. TBC
