From: Bandraptor <bandraptor@aol.com> Subject: [PW!] A Persian and her Magical Alakazam Date: Thursday, July 29, 1999 4:50 AM Blizzard made her way through the dense underbrush surrounding Pallet Town, a smile on her face, and Bulbasaur nectar on her lips. "On the road... to Viridian City!" she sang, "Meet my friends along the way--ah, where do I come up with this garbage?" She took her eyes off the path, momentarily distracted by the sight of Mewtwo, pushing past the bushes beside her. Then she realized that it wasn't the real Mewtwo, just the mascot for the Sunny Town Mews, getting run out of town by a hoard of angry fans. Apparently, the team was ousting him, in favor of a new mascot... they wouldn't say what it was, yet. It was simply referred to, as "Phantom Pokémon X". "Purr!" Blizzard cried, as she tripped over something. "Persian! What was that?" She turned to look, and saw a dusty, orb-like object, half buried in the ground. Curious, she began to dig it out... A few minutes later, Blizzard looked at the object before her. It was a perfect sphere, with the exception of a small protrusion in the front. It looked a little like a Pokéball, but she couldn't be sure. "Hmm..." she thought, "Maybe if I brushed some of this dust off..." Blizzard rubbed a paw against the side of the ball, accidentally hitting the release button in the process. The ball burst open, in a blinding flash of light. Instinctively, Blizzard ducked to the ground. "Who dares disturb my slumber?!?" Demanded a deep, booming voice, that sounded a little like Bullwinkle's. "P..Purr?" Blizzard gaped, as the creature loomed over her. "I am the invincible Alakazam! My high Speed and Special ensure that no Bug Pokémon will ever defeat me!" "Purr persian..." Blizzard pointed out. "But what of your laughable Defense?" "Bah!" it snorted. "Thanks to Reflect, (which I learn naturally, by the way,) not even Hyper Beams will scathe me!" "Wow." Blizzard replied. "So, what are you going to do now?" "Take over the world, of course!" the Alakazam thundered. "My intelligence quotient is far higher than any human's! Do you expect me to sit here, waiting for some trainer to capture me, while they control the world?" "No intelligent creature would willingly inherit all of the world's problems..." Blizzard mused. "Silence!" Alakazam roared. "I should crush you where you stand! However, you did free me from my prison, and for that I am in your debt. I beseech you... ask of me anything, and it shall be yours." The Persian considered this. "Anything?" "Anything!" "All right..." Blizzard grinned. "I wish for a Jigglypuff!" Alakazam sweatdropped. "A Jigglypuff?" "Yeah!" Blizzard smiled, expectantly. "A nice, pink one, if you don't mind." "Are you sure?" "Yes," she responded, somewhat impatiently. "They're extremely difficult to come by..." "Tough titty. I want my Jiggly." "Rassafrazen..." Alakazam grumbled, starting off towards Mt. Moon. As soon as he stepped through the bushes, he was spotted by a trainer, and promptly captured. "YEEEAHHH!!!!" the trainer cried, "I CAHT A HOUDINI POKEYMON I'M TE BEST TRAINER IN THE ENTIR WRLD AND EVRY ONE ELSE SUX HAHA!" * * * After waiting several hours, for Alakazam to return with her gift; Blizzard sighed softly, and began to sing herself to sleep. "Jigglypuff, jigglyyyypuff...." TBC... -Beth "Ii kanji!" http://members.aol.com/bandraptor
