From: Shard Fields or Megasomething <goola2u@aol.compostheap> Subject: [PW!] Pikachu: the Other White Meat Date: Friday, July 30, 1999 10:06 AM When we last left Sneakers, he was in Viridian. That, however, was a LONG time ago, and Sneakers, as cats do, wandered. By now, he had reached the Power Plant, and along the way he had picked up some kitty footwear, just for the heck of if. He was currently wearing the hiking boots he had used to climb over the mountain, thus avoiding the water entirely, but soon had changed into his sneakers, shoes to go with his name. Tying the front two was NOT easy, and eventually he had given up on the shoes altogether, and walked in, as he always did, barefoot. Once inside, he looked around. The long journey had made him extremely hungry. Unfortunately, the plant was deserted. Or was it? Sneakers heard a familiar squeak from the shadows. "Pikachu…" he smiled, " the OTHER white meat…" The little electric tidbit tried to escape, but it was too late. Sneakers had tuned his feline instincts by fighting many battles himself, and his hunger was of just the right degree to fortify his skills rather than sap his energy. The mouse didn’t have a chance. Suddenly, a thundering voice emanated from the rafters. "Zaaaapp!!!" "This is his kingdom," explained an Electabuzz who had scavenged enough to make a translator from the debris and Voltorb pieces lying on the floor, "and he does not take kindly to the consumption of his subjects. Not to those who do without his permission Name’s Stannz, by the way, professional scavenger’s the trade. Next time you try anything in here, you may want to get Zapdos’s permission. And I’m still not sure how you can imprison your pokemon in those pokeballs and not feel guilty, being one yourself." "Natural order, survival of the fittest," explained Sneakers. Stannz just smiled knowingly. Zapdos was quiet, apparently having heard and understood. "Tell ya what," said Stannz, "I got an itch to stretch my legs m’self. Why don’t me and my pokemon come with ya?" "Sure," smiled Sneakers. The two continued into the mountains, then each drew a pokeball and turned to the other. "You’re MINE!" they shouted in unison. TBC… Shard Fields, who’d have Stannz as a char if the WGs weren’t so limited. .sig not included. Shard Fields on AGNP Megasomething on ATT
