From: NinjaMecha <ninjamecha@aol.com> Subject: [PW!] Digging for disaster. Date: Tuesday, July 27, 1999 2:44 PM Shinji walked through the streets of Vermelion avoiding the gaze of Officer Jenny. For some reason, he always felt guilty around her. Removing a large map from his duffel bag, he unfolded it. "Lets see...Viridian city is too far, and i don't have enough to rent a Pidgeot." As he continued walking and reading the map at the same time, Shinji acidently smashed into a little girl, who was crying quite loudly. "Hey! Watch where you goin mister!" He quickly apologized when he saw a stern mothers face glare at him. Scyther came up behind the woman and child, and shouted his name loudly. The mother took a running sprint, despite the fact she was in high heels. The girl stared at Shinji for the longest time, almost as if trying to force him down onto his knees. When she finnaly did start to walk away, the girl said one thing that made Shinjis blood run cold. "See you soon, daddy." Scythers mouth was hanging open as the girl walked away. He and Shinji were both too stunned to go after her. "Um...where to now Shinji?" He glanced up and read a sign. "Digglet cave." Someone had scawled with a pen 'Pika-rats go home!' Shinji shruged and walked in, feeling around for the walls. About 5 minutes walking through, he stepped on what seemed like a small rock. Until it shot down, anc came back up, knocking him over. Then he heard the chanting. "Diglet dig, diglet dig, diglet dig." Scyther and Shinji glanced at each other and gulped at what they heard next. "TRIO!" An emormous Dugtrio, around 4 feet tall popped out of the soil. Despite the darkness, its large red eyes were clearly visible. "Scyther..." "Yeah?" "RUN!!!!" Both of them took off faster then possible. The massive ground pokemon went underground, and started charging at them, upturning the earth as it shot foward. Shinji and Scyther ran blindly, Feeling for an exit. Unfotunatly, they had run into a dead end. "Why don't you fight it?" Shinji yelled, frozen in terror from the giant Dugtrio quickly aproching him. "Are you nuts? That things huge! Call out your Vaporeon or something!" Shinji nodded, and pulled out the pokeball. "Vaporeon, Shinji choseth thou!" Scyther blinked. "Shinji choseth thou?" Have you been watching those old "Katchum all" tapes again? Shinji grinned and made the V sign. They also said to turn a hat juuust right. Remind me to pick one up in Viridian. Scyther? Hey, you ok buddy?" Scyther was curently on the ground, twitching like crazy. "We can disscuss how screwed up you are later. Now, fight that dang thing!" He said, pointing to the Dugtrio. "Um..Ice beam now!" Vaporeon let loose the freezing beam, but the Dugtrio mearly laughed as it bounced off it harmlessly, leaving nothing but a crisp, blue tan of water. "Cripes, that thing must be at least level 100!" Shinji shouted. "Scyther, get in there and Hyperbeam it!" Scyther did a quick bow. "Yes master, anything you say master. Would you like some tea with that master?" "Smartass." "Takes one to know one!" "VAPOR!!" Both Shinji and Scyther turned to see Vaporeon being slashed away by the Dugtrio. Shinji quickly returned him to his pokeball, as Scyther did a small sumo imatation and stepped foward. "Scccccccyyyythhher!" He unleased the multi colored beam at the Dugtrio, knocking it right out of the ground. But it wasent finished off yet. The beast jumped into the ground and came up so quickly, Scyther never saw it coming. He was knocked back to Shinji's feet. Shinji took out a pokeball, and tried to recall him, but Scyther batted it away before he could. "No way im going in that prison. Just get rid of that thing!" Shinji nodded, and threw a pokeball at it. It bounced off harmlessly. He tried a ultra ball, but it also bounced off. He shrugged, picked up Scyther, and made a run for it. The Dugtrio went under, and created a tidal wave of dust and dirt. Shinji screamed as he was thrown out of the cave. Shrugging, he took a running sprint to the pokemon center. As he did, a police wagon went screaming by, with a small boy in the back screaming "You all dont have shorts!" SHOOOOOOORTS!" TBC -NinjaMecha, Destron Otaku! "Ahh!
