From: Amy <AmyDyer@usa.net> Subject: [PW!] Amy's first pokemon! Date: Friday, July 16, 1999 2:26 PM "Hey, look, a....um....red-and-white thing!" "It's a Pokéball, stupid. Come on, the rest of us are way ahead of you!" I pick it up. "I'll look at it in the morning. It's no fair, everyone else found a potion or nugget on this stupid "Item Finder Tour!" but I get a POKEBALL!" "I didn't," she said. "Now hurry up." "What a waste of $5 bucks. I'm leaving this dumb forest!" I drop the itemfiner, and walk down the path out of Viridian forest. "Hey, if anyone asks where I went, say I went home!" I hear the faint shout of "OK!" ***Half hour later, in my room in a small house right next to Viridian forest.*** "How do you open this?" I look at a poster on the wall. Just a trainer saying "Pokeball, go!!!" "Oh. THat's how you work it. Well, Pokeball go!!!!" "Hey, it's got something in it!!!!" I hear: "Amy, time for dinner!" I shout back "Fine!!! Coming!!!" I grab a box, and put a towel in it. I pick up the Pokemon... and put it in gently. "Your cute, whatever you are... I've seen Pikachus, the neighbors Fearow, but never this thing! Wonder what it is..." "I guess I'll show you to Mom and Dad, maybe I can keep you!" **Five minutes later...*** "Hey Mom! Dad! I found this in a Pokeball in Viridian forest! What is it?" "Uh, Mom, are you OK?" "OMIGOSH! DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT THAT THING IS??!??" "Um....no...not really..." My Dad shifts in his chair. "Why would she know? She's never seen one before...I've only seen drawings...." "So, what is it?" "A DRATINI" *****TO BE CONTINUED*****
