From: Pokémon Professor <langmanj@cadvision.com> Subject: [PW!] Round Two: Two the Max! Date: Monday, October 18, 1999 7:31 PM "And now the trainer from Celadon City, one of our highest achieving trainers, Mac Jones!" The announcer yelled out extaticaly. Mac walked out on to the field with his two pokéballs and shook hands with his opponent, the psycic Power House, Houdini. Mac walked back onto his trainer platform and yelled, "Beedrill, I choose you!" The bug pokémon came flying out of its pokéball and at Houdini's Kadabra. "Beedrill, Pin Missle attack!" The bug pokémon shot needles at the Kadabra at high speeds. "Kadabra, Psybeam!" Houdini commanded. A brilliant ray of light shot out at the Beedrill, throwing it back against the ground. "Beedrill!" Mac screamed as it lay there not moving. "Point goes to Houdini!" The match ref said. "Beedrill return," Mac said. "Arcanine, I choose you!" "Arrrrrrrrr!" The fire pokémon screached as it came into the arena. "Arcanine, Use your agility." The pokémon began moving all over the battle field, confusing the Kadabra. "Now, Flamethrower!" Brilliant flames came shooting out of Arcanine's mouth at the Kadabra burning it to a crisp and knocking it out. "Kadabra, return. Hypno, I choose you!" Houdini commanded. "Hypno, Head Butt!" "Hyyypnooooo!" The pokémon commanded as it came flying at the Arcanine. "Arcanine, use agility to move away from the Hypno!" "Nine!" Arcanine replied as it began dodging the oncoming Hypno. "Now Take down!" The fire pokémon came flying at the Hypno, hitting it when the Hypno was least expecting it. The Hypno landed hard on the ground and got up dizzily. "Hyono, Confusion!" Houdini yelled. The Hypno tried to do the attack but still reeling from the effects of the Take Down it ended up confusing itself. "Alright! Arcanine finish it off with a flamethrower." "Aaaarcannnnnnine!" The Pokémon yelled as the brilliant flames lept from its mouth and into the Hypno, immediatly knocking it out. "Alright!" Mac yelled excitedly, "I won!" The crowd cheered as Mac recalled his pokémon and walked out of the ring. As he was walking back to his dorm an attendant came up to Mac and told him that his next match would be against Max, a trainer who loved ground pokémon. That night Mac did some research at the Pokécenter on Ground Pokémon while waiting for his pokémon to heal. Then he stratigized for his battle which was to happen in a few days..............
