I changed my name to Anonymous. And I know I haven't written in awhile, I've been on a PW! break. I should've said something, but I just needed a break. Anyways, I'm back again, ready to write some PW!! Oh, this post is dedicated to MST3K, may it live forever in reruns that never get old. I loved that show... ;( ------------ > "Am I so glad to see you!" said Jamie. "We've got problems. *MAJOR* > problems." > > "I know. But I think I know more about this situation than you.

Jamie was dumbfounded. "Yeah, I'm kinda confused about the whole thing myself. But Mew said I was created to fight against Tiki, who was made by Mewtwo, and..." "It all sounds like it belongs on MST3K," said Jamie. "So corny, especially my being a Muppet for Mewtwo..." "Anyway, what are you doing with Tiki's Pokémon?" "I'm watching them for him until he becomes sane again. Too bad I can't understand a thing they say..." Jamie then pulled out her badges from her pocket. "Before I do anything else, there's one important step to take..." As she spoke, Jamie began tossing her badges one by one into a nearby stream, ending with Cascade... Pipian grabbed her hand just before she threw the Cascade Badge. "Jamie, why are you doing this?" "Well, I've been following this group pretty loyally. I fight your battles, I protect your Pokémon, and then I go and get some badges. Through all this, I forgot about my own personal goals. What do I have against Mewtwo anyway? He didn't create me, he didn't kill my parents, and he only took over my brain because I took part in a battle that wasn't mine. When I found out about my psychic powers, I was telling off some kid who thought he was so great, just because he had a badge. I told him that badges were just for show, and didn't reflect your abilities as a trainer. But with TAC, I lost sight of that. Now, I'm realizing how useless these trinkets are. I'll stick with you guys, since it's gotten personal, but count me out of the Pokémon League." Pipian released his grip, and Jamie dropped her badge into the river. The droplet-shaped pin blended in with the stream, disappearing quickly. After a moment, Jamie spoke again. "Well, I feel better. What's the next course of action?" ------------ TBC (that was a terrible post, I know, but I just got back into things) -Anonymous (you know, the guy who wrote all the poems) All praise Oddish, the Absorbing Ace, the Sultan of Solarbeam, the Great Grassy One, the Prince of Petal Dance!
