From: God's Warrior!!! <Ask4@it.com> Subject: PW!) Pewter City At Last! Date: Sunday, August 15, 1999 8:17 AM (PW!) Pewter City At Last! Early Sunday morning, just before sunrise, TC woke up. His Pokémon were still sound asleep, so he decided to go clean up. He walked over to a little stream that ran through Viridian Forest and he washed his face. He felt the water was cool and figured that it ran from Mt. Moon. "Ouch!," said TC as he pulled his hand out of the water. A little Goldeen had pricked his finger with its sharp horn. "That hurt!" said TC. "Why did you do that?," he asked the Goldeen that was splashing around there. "Gold, Goldeen..." said the Goldeen as it splashed TC in the face with cold water. "I guess this is your stream, huh?" asked TC. "Goldeen-deen!" Goldeen said loudly. "I get your point," TC said, then turned to walk back to the camp site where his Pokémon were still sleeping. TC stepped over to Arcanine and whispered, "Hey...Arcanine...," petting Arcanine's head. "Arcanine, it's time to get up." Arcanine slowly opened his eyes and then sat up. "Arr!" growled Arcanine. "Wartortle, Ditto! Time to get up!" TC said as he started to pack. "We've got to get to Pewter City today! We're running out of food and supplies. Hey, guys! Wake up!" Wartortle woke up and said, "Tortle tortle!!" "Dit-to!" said Ditto. "What about the Abra...?" asked TC. "Oh! We might be able to teleport to Pewter City!" Then, TC quickly unzipped his backback and grabbed Abra's Pokéball. "Abra! Go!" he called out as he tossed the Pokéball. The ball opened and out came Abra! "Abra!" said the sleepy Abra. "Abra. Can you teleport us to Pewter City?" asked TC. "Abra!" Abra looked at his master and shook his head. "Abra-abra!" TC thought for a few moments and then said, "Arcanine, ask him why he can't teleport us." "Arcanine! Nine!" barked Arcanine. The Abra just looked at TC and shook its head. "Oh well...we'll just have to walk," said TC. "Abra! Return!" Abra returned to his Pokéball. "You, too, guys!" said TC. "Return!" Wartortle and Ditto returned to their Pokéballs, too. "Let's go, Arcanine!" It was time for their long walk to Pewter City. After a few hours of walking, TC and his Pokémon came out of the forest. In the distance, TC could see Pewter City. It looked like a big, gray bowl! "Hey...Arcanine!" puffed TC as he pointed torwards Pewter City. "There it is! Pewter City!" "We're almost there, boy!" he said. "Do you want to take a quick break for some water?" TC got Arcanine's bowl from his backpack and poured some water in it from his canteen. "Here, Arcanine!" he said. "Nice cool water!" Arcanine drank the cool water slowly. As Arcanine drank, TC finished the rest of the water that was in the canteen. Once Arcanine finished, TC picked up his bowl and returned it to his backpack. Arcanine looked at TC and barked, "Arcanine!" and ran! TC smiled and started to run with him! "Pewter City, here we come!!" yelled TC, as they ran as fast as they could! There were smiles all around! "We're almost there!" What's going to happen in Pewter City? We'll find out next time! -- A. H. PoKéMoN Master by day... PoKéMoN Master by night... I DO have ICQ...
