Anything... He supposed it was OK to stay back, and he would have to for the next few weeks until he healed. He wandered back into his room and looked around. "I suppose this needs to be fixed up," he said. He worked and put up his various things in his room. He could live with his room... Heck, with a little work, he could make it downright spiffy! While he worked, he wondered what had happened to Orion and Keri. Had they been killed? Had they been part of a evil plan? He thought that they weren't. They were too smart not to escape. They even said so. After a few hours his room was all set up. He thought it did look pretty good. He had noticed that there ad been an extra phone line in the place, and one of its outlets was in his room. He wondered if... Hmm... Maybe he had enough money for one... He counted his secret reserve stash of money he kept in his secret compartment in his backpack. Yes! He had enough. He rushed out the door as fast as a limping boy could rush. (Which, mind you, is not too fast) When he returned, he had returned in a truck with a delivery man. "Where do you want it?" asked the delivery man. "Just put it inside," replied Pipian. After a few minutes, a few boxes were moved inside and Pipian began to open the boxes. After a few more hours, it was complete. He had a new computer hooked up to the phone line and it was all set up. He looked on his hard drive and he saw a file: PORYGON.POK. He opened it in Notepad and saw lines of text that said: PORYGON WINDOWS BASIC DATA SUBROUTINE DEF=123 ATT=321 SPC=154 SPD=155 LVU=1242 EXP=1265 LVL=25 It continued on. He wondered what it was. He figured it had to do with Pokémon, so he opened Outlook Express and sent it to Prof. Oak at profoak@pokelabs.com asking: What is this file that has to do with Pokémon? He figured Prof. Oak would know. He sent it. Pipian
