From: AKA Jon N9tales Jonathan Ference <vulpix5746@aol.commys4life> Subject: [PW!] [RECOLLECTION STORY] Snippets of life Pt. I: Date: Friday, June 18, 1999 4:41 AM This series is intended to provide fun background stories for PW! character Jon and his Pokemon. It will show how each Pokemon came to him, behaved, and thinks. This Part's Pokemon: Ninetales The little boy stared at his parents. "What is that?" His mother, a bright eyed brunette, smiled. "It's a Pokeball. Inside is a Pokemon, a cute little friend for you!" The boy became excited. "Ooohhhh! A Pokmon! [sic]" The parents shared a smile. "Now, you take it like this..." his dad demonstrated. "and throw it." The little boy hurled the ball. It opened, revealing a small, fox red Pokemon. It stared up at him. "Vul! Vulpix!" He ran toward it, allowing it to leap into his arms. "I love you! You so cute!" *** The bully looked at him. "Yousa what, kidsa? Isa pound you!" The blond ten year old backed farther into the corner. The bully slipped on some brass knuckles. A Pokeball fell from the boy's side as he backed farther and farther. It rolled through the bully's legs, opening. The bully pulled back his arm, preparing for the punch. He swung... and was hard-stopped, halfway through. He cringed in pain. Jon kicked him in the balls for good measure, then ran around him. Vulpix was hanging on to the bully's neck. *** The preteen wiped his brow. "Vulpix! What does this say?" "Vul! PIX! Vulpixvul!" The judges translated. "You win!" *** "Squirtle! Water gun!" "Nooo!.... Vulpix... uh... body slam!" The two Pokemon collided, both falling to earth. The trainers ran into the ring. "Nooo! LAY OFF!" the blond trainer ran in. "You okay, Vulpix?" The small Pokemon opened its eyes. "Vulpix!" *** The Rocket stared at the boy, not saying anything. The child ran frightened, being flung forward, over a ditch. The school exploded behind him. He crouched his body to protect the Pokeballs. *** One of Jon's Pokeballs started shaking. His badly burned Vulpix appeared on the ground. "What the hell? Vulpix, are you okay?" It began to turn to energy. "No...you can't die...Vulpix, stay with me! NOO!" The energy disappeared. Jon lay down and began to cry. Suddenly, the energy returned. It pulsed, then grew bigger. What materialized was...a Ninetales! It's white flowing tails were wagging. At seeing this, Jon ran to Ninetales and hugged it. "I can't believe you did this! Don't ever scare me like that again!" "Ninetales!" *** Jon ran through Celadon. "Have you seen my Ninetales? PLEASE! Anyone?" He finally ran into a rug shop. "Wha... are you the boy with the fox Pokemon? It's back here on my Persian rug!" Jon ran to his Pokemon. Not one... but two! *** Next time: Lapras. -------- Sig v. 1.5 Deathclock says I die June 23, 2059.
