From: God's Warrior!!! <Ask4@it.com> Subject: (PW!) Abra's Adventure! Date: Wednesday, August 11, 1999 7:48 AM It was late Saturday morning. TC and Arcanine were walking on the road past Viridian City. TC was making a list of items he needed to buy from the next market which was in Pewter City. After he finished writing his list, TC saw a bright flash out of the corner of his eye. "Wha...? Did you see that, Arcanine?" asked TC. "Arrr!" growled Arcanine. "That flash... over there!" Deep in the brush, along the road, TC saw a sleeping Abra. "Hey!" TC whispered. "It's an Abra!" "Arcanine! Tackle attack, now!" yelled TC. Arcanine charged as fast as he could and before Abra could react, Arcanine slammed into it! Abra flew about 20 feet and then teleported! "Shoot!" said TC. "Maybe we'll get it next time, Arcanine." Arcanine let out a little growl and rubbed his head on TC's leg. "You ok, boy?" asked TC as he patted Arcanine's head. There was a bump coming up on Arcanine's head. "Hey! You've got quite a bump there!" said TC as he took off his backpack and got an ice pack. "Here, I'll put this on it for a little while." Arcanine flinched due to the cold. "You'll be fine, boy!" said TC. "You might be dizzy for a bit, though!" "We'll get some bandages and potions when we get to the Pewter City market." "Arrrrrrrr..." growled Arcanine. Later that night, TC and Arcanine set up camp in the Viridian Forest. "Want to start the camp fire, Arcanine?" asked TC with a smile. "Ditto, Wartortle! Go!" yelled TC, as Ditto and Wartortle popped out of their Pokéballs. "It's time to eat! I got some donuts for you guys!" said TC. "Arcanine...I've got some meat for you!" TC set out the food and then started the campfire. "I'm going to make some soup with vegetables I got from our garden back home," TC said. After they ate dinner, TC and his Pokémon were getting ready for bed. Just when TC was about to put the fire out, he saw that bright flash again! "Hey..." whispered TC, "Arcanine, there's that Abra again!" Arcanine wasn't too interested this time. He just rolled over and said, "Caaaanine..." "Oh, yeah. Your head's still a bit sore from earlier, huh?" said TC. "Wartortle! I choose you! Watergun attack, now!" yelled TC. Wartortle stood up and shot a powerful stream of water from his mouth and hit Abra dead on! This time Abra didn't teleport! It just fell over with swirls in its eyes! "Ok...," said TC. Then he grabbed a Pokéball from his backpack and yelled, "Pokéball! Go!" The Pokéball flew, popped open and captured Abra! It rocked back and forth for a few seconds, then it stoped. "Yes! We got Abra!" yelled TC. "Now we can teleport to Pewter City!" "Tomorrow is going to be a busy day though, so we need to get some sleep first!" said TC. "Good night guys. Sleep well," TC said. Then he got into his sleeping bag. As they went to sleep, TC thought about how much he loved his Pokémon. That usually helps him get to sleep fast. Will TC and his Pokémon ever reach Pewter City? We'll find out next time! -- A. H. PoKéMoN Master by day... PoKéMoN Master by night... I DO have ICQ...
