Date: Monday, August 30, 1999 4:41 AM >"Nahh," Seth quipped, "I can't see Slasher ever being *cute*." > Mimic turned his little black eyes beyond Seth. The bluenette boy polished off another spoonful of pie and turned to see what he was looking at. His shades slipped down his face. Aerie sat there with a big fanged grin. She would have looked identical to Slasher, that is if Slasher had incredibly curly fur and HUGE baby blue eyes. Seth fell off his seat laughing. Mimic considered how Slasher might react to such an inaccurate portrayal, and decided it was a good thing the Persian wasn't there at the moment. He shook like jello, the Ditto equivalent to shaking their head. "No Aerie, more like this!" Mimic threw himself into the air and landed on the fallen Seth, growling in a very menacing way. Strangely, he'd forgotten to actually transform, and was just wobbling about in a silly way. Seth had been about to turnabout on the Ditto's mistake, when suddenly there was a loud scream. He looked up to see a woman screaming and pointing at them. "HELP! That poor young man is being attacked by a wild Pokemon! Oh dear, the Ditto may kill him! Help! Help!" Most people in the area turned to see what was the matter, but once they saw, the more Pokemon knowledgable among them just gave her a strange look and passed on. Only a few others started to panic and discussed how to remove the 'vicious creature.' Mimic looked on somewhat amused. "Grrrr......DitTO! DitTO!" The lady and the other onlookers shrieked and jumped. Aerie felt left out, and jumped to the ground in the form of a Ditto. "Ditto Ditto Dittoooo!" "Now there's more of them! Someone should evacuate the children!" Seth snickered and picked himself up. "Okay guys, maybe you should cut it out before this gets out of hand..." "Out of the way! I'll take care of this!" A man in a grey outfit and black gloves and boots pushed through the people and towards the Ditto. He was carrying a clear box with a handle. Seth narrowed his eyes. There was no mark on him, but he recognized a Rocket uniform when he saw it. The man attempted to pull Mimic out of his hands. "Hand over the Pokemon! I'm trained to handle these kinds of dangerous pests!" "No! He isn't dangerous! Get-!" Seth was pushed roughly, and he went flying over the table behind him. Still clutching Mimic, he crashed in a heap. When Mimic realized what had happened, he looked over to find Seth unconscious. With little Persians and stars running around his head. "Uh oh." Having grown tired of wrestling Seth for Mimic, the Rocket had turned towards a seemingly easier target. Aerie saw him coming, but he was fast. He had her inside the clear box before she could react. She tried to transform, but a strange crackling energy inside the box kept her from doing so. Aerie glared and started shouting at him, but it was soundproof as well. "Don't worry little Ditto, it's safer for everyone while you're in there," the Rocket smiled cruelly. He gave the surface a tap. "And I'm sure you'll bring me a good price too." The oblivious crowd had started cheering for the thief. Then out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the boy he'd shoved over just before. He frowned as 'Seth' pushed his hair away from his face and moved towards him. "Give...mee....Mi...my....Ditto."
