He spotted Murasaki and her Ivysaur busy running >for >dear life, and like them, quickly began sprinting away. Meanwhile, back in the bushes... Doppler snickered evily. It's been a while since he'd had some good ole explosive fun.His finger hovered near the big red, maybe even cliche, detonation button. Should he press it? No, better wait. The bomb still wasn't close enough. He grinned with pure evil anticipation, as he watched the massive bomb inch forward towards the Pokecenter. But unbeknownst to Doppler, someone, or rather, something was watching him from the shadows behind him... Cold, inhumane eyes scrutinized him... Behind those eyes, lay a mind truly twisted... A mind even more twisted and sadistic than Doppler himself... Lurking, in the bushes, was something unanimously thought possibly the most inhumane thing throughout the entire planet, by all that had ever even heard of him... ... ... ... "HEY! You're not wearing shorts!" Doppler started in alarm, and accidentally pushed the button. *BOOOM!* Fortunately, Murasaki and Ivysaur were far enough to dive to the ground and remain mostly unaffected. Oz and Sandshrew, however were too far behind them, and unfortunately closer to the bomb. "Nyaaaaaa!" Oz was hurtled through the air by the force of the blast, with Sandshrew still clinging to his head. As the explosion went through a melodramatic slo-mo, Oz managed to get a glimpse of a band tuning up on a nearby rooftop in anticipation for Pokestock 99. "Hey, I didn't know Sugar Ray was coming." He thought. He'd have to stop by there later on. Oz landed in a crumpled heap on the sidewalk with a loud THUD!, and let out a low groan.Murasaki uncovered her head, and looked up, pretty certain that all danger had passed. Oz and Sandshrew lay in a mangled heap a few yards away from her and Ivysaur, although nothing too serious was injured. "Gee," Oz commented lightly, in the nonchalant ways only possible in a fictional world after something like that, "We're just having a GREAT day today, aren't we?" Meanwhile, back in the bushes, Shorts Boy was busy getting the crap beaten out of him by an evil, and very, veeery mad Machamp. TBC! ~ ~ ~ Feeling sort of better now, managed to fend off the massive Dreadite tsunami (^_^;) Just thought I should make up for the short story earlier. If any of you, Adrian or Shimarisu, were in the middle of writing a better explosion, please, feel free to declare mine NC/DV... I was just sorta bored, and noticed the Shorts Boy has been kinda busy in the PW! universe lately ^_^; Yosh ---------- Note: Beware the rabid Yosh. (Nyaa! >=P)
