From: Link640985 <link640985@aol.com> Subject: [PW!] Jack Begins His Journey Date: Tuesday, November 09, 1999 10:56 AM Jack Pogoson glared out the apartment door. He was ready to begin his quest. All he had to do exit the room and he woukd be in the front room of the Pokecenter of Cinnibar, his hometown. Right now he was in one of the many apartments of Cinnibar's Pokecenter. The apartment itself was not actually his, but belonged to Elga Harritey, the Woman who had been taking care of him ever since his father had been killed in the raid on his laboratory by Team Rocket. Jack had sworn that he would eliminate the entire Team Rocket Organization, piece by piece. He had done that when he was 8 years old. Now he was 16, a buff, fairly handsome, and overly strong and muscular young man, more than old enough to get a pokemon trainer's liscense, and kick the (insert a cussword here) out of Team Rocket. He got dressed, said goodbye to Elga and stepped into the Pokecenter. He walkwed up to the service desk and rang the bell. "Excuse me, Nurse Joy," Jack looked rather anxiously at the head of the Pokecenter. "I would like to recieve a Pokemon Trainer's liscense." Jack was, truthfully, afraid of Nurse Joy. Despite his immense strength he couldn't help but remember the rumors he had heard about Nurse Joy taking down an entire gang of kids, each twice his own size. "Who is it?" Nurse Joy asked as she galnced over to see Jack Pogoson, toughest boy in Cinnibar, at the service desk asking for a trainer's liscense. "Oh, you. You want a trainer's liscense?" Nurse Joy asked, puzzled. She had never thought that Jack Pogoson would ever be asking her for a trainer's liscense. Jack Pogoson, the only teenager in Cinnibar who could take down any trainer and/or pokemon that challenged him to a fight. This would be something she would never ever forget. "Yes, Nurse Joy. I've decided to become a Pokemon Trainer." Jack tried to sound as confident as possible, but he knew that he was achievjust the opposite effect. "Well, I'll tell you what, Jack, I'll give you a trainer's liscense under one condition." Nurse Joy grinned. Giving Jack Pogoson a pokemon trainer's liscense and pokedex would probably spell trouble for the Team Rocket Organization. "Yes, Nurse Joy. What is it?" Jack shuddered at what she might ask of him. "I'll give you a trainer's liscense certificate and pokedex if you catch your own pokemon. I'll also give you 30 pokeballs to start out with." She grinned. If he could catch that many pokemon, Team Rocket would be goners. "I will also give you 20 pokedollars." Jack was a little surprised. He didn't think that he would get that much. "Thank you." Jack was very surprised. And puzzled that she would even give him a liscense and pokedex. "Here you go." Nurse Joy said as she handed Jack his liscense certifate and pokedex. "Yes!" Jack screamed. "Now the fun begins." Jack grinned as he walked out of the pokecenter, carrying his backpack, full of clothes and food, and his gym bag in his hands, which contained his pokeballs, gym equipment, and 3 pairs of brass knuckles.
