From: Charmander <iha1979@mmcable.com> Subject: [PW!] Finding Thomas Date: Tuesday, August 10, 1999 12:23 PM "Have you found him yet??" asked Kyoushu through the phone. "No, I'm working on it. I think we just got jipped," answered Shikaku. "We'll find him. I have a lead that he skipped to Fuchia," said Kyoushu. "OK. We'll meet on the boat tonight," said Shikaku. He spent the rest of the day at the Cinnabar Mansion, sitting and thinking about what Team Rocket was doing, how they were looking for him. Viridian city was a long way away, and Team Rocket surely wouldn't search for him this long. But, he would go back, someday, and finished his job with Geovanni. He just didn't know when, though. Shikaku headed for the boat, and got on board. He was sure that they would find Bushi. They would kill him. Plain and simple. The boat ride was long, but Shikaku stayed inside. He worked on his techniques while Kyoushu gobbled down a whole chicken. "You shure yous don't *burp* want shome??" asked Kyoushu with a theigh in his mouth. "I'm fine. You should be practicing and getting ready for anymore jobs that we might have," answered Shikaku. "Nah. I'm heading out after we find Bushi and loot his money. I'm going to go train for taking out Team Rocket," answered Kyoushu. Shikaku thought to himself, "What if he helped me?? I know that one man can't take down Team Rocket alone, even if he is an elite assasin. But the best of the best might..." The boat ride from then on was a blur, a little more training then some sleep. By morning they reached Fuschia City. To avoid alot of people, they jumped off of the boat and swam to shore. They encountered a Tentacruel on the way. "Heh heh heh. I'm gonna catch this one!" said Kyoushu as he remembered he had no water pokemon. "Go! Beedrill!" said Shikaku as the Beedrill came out. It started to attack toe Tentacruel and had no affect with it's poison. Tentacruel then became 2, then 4, then 8. The rest was blurred as they rememberd only being carried to safety. They woke up in a strange home. There was a girl standing beside them with hot tea ready. "Oh, good. You're awake. You were poisoned very badly," said the girl. "You can call me Julia." Shikaku got up and looked around. He started to walk out. "Wait! Don't go. I know who you are," said Julie. Shikaku stopped dead in his tracks. "A man came by here by the name of Bushi. He left as soon as he saw your bodies. I know... what you do. I have a job for you," said Julia. "We are only looked for Bushi. No jobs," said Kyoushu. " I would be willing to pay you... 40K right now and 500K later," answered Julia. "Only?? No. We aren't doing anything that cheap," answered Kyoushu. " I'm desperate... I'll make it 500K now and... *shrug* 1,000,000 after..." said Julia. " We'll do it. What do you want done??" asked Shikaku. "There's a man named Thomas lurking around here. I want you to kill him," said Julia. " So do you know where he is??" asked Kyoushu. " I"ve heard that he's been hiding in the Safari Zone. He may be in Sector 3," answered Julia. " OK. We'll kill him for you," said Shikaku. They immiedietly left and entered the Safari Zone. They asked questions here and there, they basically searched the whole place after a few days. Kyoushu even caught a pokemon accident. They were in a tree searching for food and Kyoushu fell down, landing on his back. A Nidorino came up and started eating the food that he dropped, and he caught it when the Nidorino mistook an apple for a pokeball. After searching all over the Safari Zone, they stopped searching. Shikaku jumped into a lake to wash off and saw a tunnel under a small waterfall. No doubt, this was where Thomas was hiding. They entered the cave and surfaced. They saw a cave glittering blue with natural minerals. It seemed they had found a cave with walls of made of the Water Stone. "This... must be the cave where the Water Ruby is," said Shikaku quietly. The Water Ruby was a legend of a giant stone that caused certain pokemon to changed. The pokemon were considered special, and they changed, becoming more powerful (which eventually became known as evolving). The people later discovered that this mineral was found in other places and the Water Ruby was dubbed useless. They covered the cave entrance up, thinking that the water stones would come and have an endless quantity. But now stones such as the Water Stone run scarce. "Maybe the legends are true... maybe the Water Ruby does exist," said Kyoushu. Shikaku saw a Staryu laying near the shore. He crept up and grabbed it. They walked around for a little bit and reached the end of the cave, and saw a giant, blue boulder laying there. Shikaku slowly walked up to the stone and put Staryu on it. Staryu turned white and evolved into Starmie. Shikaku touched it with a pokeball and put it on his belt. "So this thing does exist..." said Kyoushu. "It's very real. Interesting stone, isn't it??" said a voice from behind them. They turned around and saw a man who fit the description that Julia gave them. "Thomas I presume?? We had alot of luck finding him this quickly," said Shikaku. "I am Thomas, what do you want with me?" he asked. "We were sent by Julia.. to kill you," said Kyoushu. "Heh. Kill me?? I'm going to make fun out of you.." said Thomas. He jumped up and tryed to kick Kyoushu. No effect. Thomas got up and tryed again. Kyoushu moved and Thomas fell down. Shikaku took off his shirt and got ready for battle as Thomas slowly got up...
