My brothers and I are triplets," Forest said, "I recently >found out about them, but I doubt that they know about me or each other." > "Cool," Mac said, "How do you feel about Team Rocket?" > "Uh... I dunno, I guess they are bad..." Forest mumbled. "I have nothing >against them, but I don't have anything for them." > "Hmm," Mac mumbled. > <<Mmm, Mac, Go!>> Porygon mumbled in his sleep. > Mac looked over at Porygon, still on the floor with a pipe in his head >and >rolled his eyes. > "Well, what about you?" Forest asked Mac. "I told my story, what about >yours?" > <<Mac, scratch that Pikachu!>>Porygon mumbled. > "Your Porygon is weird," Forest said. > "I know," Mac said. > <<MAC! RETURN! Good Job!>>Porygon screamed. "So, what's your story?" Forest leaned in closer, so as to not wake the Porygon. "It's kind of a sensitive subject. I'm not really in the mood to talk about it..." "Well, if we're gonna be friends, we should get to know each other a bit more. I told you my speil, now it's your turn." "Hmm." Mac thought for a moment, then nodded. "You're right. If I don't tell someone, it'll just eat me up inside." After taking a deep breath, he continued. "For starters, I'm an orphan. My parents died when I was very young, and my step-parents didn't care about me. So one day, I skipped out on them. Then, I met Jake. He was a Pokémon trainer, and became my very best friend. He taught me a few things about living on the streets, but also got me into computers. Since then, I've been a self-taught hacker, breaking into various systems... well, about a week ago, Jake and me decided to hack into the Game Corner computers to get some expensive stuff. We figured we could sell it for big cash. Anyway, the whole thing worked like a charm, but somehow, someone on the inside had found us out. They caught Jake, and... well, now I wanna get my revenge on Team Rocket for what they did." Forest took a moment to absorb this abundance of information, then thought about something. "So what's the Porygon got to do with it all?" "Him? Well, before we got caught, we were able to snatch the Porygon from the Game Corner." "I suppose a Porygon could be a pretty useful tool to fight Team Rocket," said Forest. "You'd think so, wouldn't you?" Porygon was still sleeping after his konk on the head. <<Hmm, what's this button do? So shiny and red... whoops.>> ------------ TBC -Anonymous (you know, the guy who wrote all the poems) REASON ODDISH REIGNS SUPREME #3: Who else learns Absorb (ignoring Kabuto and Tangela, since they don't reign supreme)?
