Too bad his only weapon is a not-too-trustworthy Porygon that's giving him trouble with the law. Now let's go... ------------ As Mac ran down the main street of Celadon City, the loud wailing of police sirens clearly audible over the normal sounds of traffic, his Porygon was circling around him excitably. <<So what did you think, huh kid? I don't really like being vain, but wasn't I great?>> "Great?!?" yelled Mac between deep breaths. "You nearly killed an innocent store clerk, stole a computer, and blew up a building!! Now I'm in trouble with the police, and you're commenting on a job well done?" <<If I recall correctly, and I do approximately 99.999792% of the time, you're the one who swiped the merchandise. Also, the cops don't know it was you. All the fingerprints were vaporized, as well as the security cameras, the witness, the->> "You left him in there?!?!?" <<Just kidding. Since I knew your pesky human compassion would kick in, I swooped in and dragged him to safety at the last second. Well, I guess that's one more thing to add to my list of "Why Porygon Reigns Supreme.">> By now, Mac had snuck into a conveniently-located warehouse. "With any luck, no one saw us come in here. Looks like this'll be home, for at least a little while." <<Dibs on the couch!!>> and at that, Porygon flashed across the room, making contact with a conveniently-located couch. "Oh no you don't. You're a Pokémon, so you go in either a Pokéball or a floppy disk." <<Don't make me go back in the disk!! I can't stand those things!>> "Even though I can't stand you, you're still my Pokémon, so you have to obey me unconditionally." <<Says who? I still have my rights! My opinions are as good as anybody's, and I'll be damned if I - OOF!>> His speech was cut off when the baseball bat contacted with his head. Porygon reeled for a moment, then fell to the floor, his eyes swirling around crookedly. Mac casually tossed the conveniently-located baseball bat to the side. "I really don't think I'm gonna like this situation." ------------ TBC, same baseball bat time, same baseball bat place (Hey, does anybody want to join Mac? Basically, he'll team up with anyone against Team Rocket, maybe even ATR, if they'll accept him) (Whoa, this is Mac's first story that didn't end with an explosion) -Anonymous (you know, the guy who wrote all the poems) REASON ODDISH REIGNS SUPREME #2: Doesn't need a Solarbeam TM.
