Date: Wednesday, August 04, 1999 7:21 PM [PW!] A decision, and a weird kid popping out of bushes. -===---===--===---===--===---===- P:OTPW!... [PW!] Upgrading. Gohan and Fox left Ivory Island, and followed instructions from Raven to contact the ATR Automated Service. There, they got their PokéDex's upgraded to prototype beta versions of an unreleased PokéDex. How? ATR has an informant on the inside, in the form of one of Prof. Oak's aides. They now await the call from Steven Fugues in the Cinnabar Island PokéCenter. -===---===--===---===--===---===- Gohan sat on the PokéCenter sofa, fiddling with his new "ProtoDex". Fox slept, as he always does whenever the opportunity arises. After examining its list of extensive features, he walked over to the PC (he wished it get upgraded to PowerPC), and logged in. He plugged his 'Dex in, and transferred his Pokémon inventory file to the Dex. He logged out, sat down, and looked over the list. "Hmm, let's see.. Growlithe. Ivysaur.. Pigeot.. Onix.. Dratini, and Jolteon. Man, I've been neglecting these guys since I joined ATR." He released Growlithe. "GROWWW!" "Hey boy." He rubbed his neck, and his head. "I think you'll be staying out of your Pokéball for awhile. I forgot how good of a friend you've been to me. Let's go for a walk, ok?" He growled in approval. They wandered around Cinnabar Island. There was more foliage around the center of the city then once believed. Gohan and Growlithe played around the bushes. Suddenly, they began to rustle. They both turned their heads towards the bush. "YOU'RE NOT WEARING ANY SHHHOOOORRRRTSS!" A 8-10 year old boy with messed up brown hair, wearing a white t-shirt too small for him and short-shorts exploded out of the bushes. His finger extended towards Gohan, and shook. "GAH! Who the hell are you, kid?!" "YOU'RE NOT WEARING SHORTS!" "Uh, yeah.." Gohan pulled an Ash and pointed his PokéDex towards anything that he had any questions about. Luckily, the prototype had information on most relatively-known characters people have encountered. The PokéDex responded. The video screen popped up, and showed a rotating 3-Dimensonial figure of the boy. "Shorts kid," it spoke. "Highly volatile and energetic. Has a odd fetish for shorts. Will encounter anyone within foresty areas, by popping out of bushes. Procedure: Do not make direct eye contact." "Alright, Growlithe, just don't.. look.. at it." They pointed their heads above the bush, and resumed talking. "Why aren't you in Viridan or something, kid? Cinnabar's not foresty!" "AHAHAAHAHAH! YOU'RE NOT WEARING ANY SHORTS! AND I'M ON VACAATION!" The kid presumed to dance around and froliced around Gohan and Growlithe. "Maybe..if we don't.. move.. it won't.. see us.." "YOU'RE NOT WEAARING SHOOORRTS!" "Alright, screw this. I'm not gonna act afraid for some little psychotic kid wearing short-shorts." Gohan pushed the kid back into the bushes and ran back to the Pokémon Center with Growlithe. "Fox," he proclaimed, "I'm not waiting for Steve any more. This place is too frigging weird. Let's go, we're looking for _him_." Fox snored. Gohan pulled him up, and dragged him out, half-asleep.
