From: Tech Weaver <TheOver-Powerer@webtv.net> Subject: [PW][Repost] The Wrath of Were-o-wak Date: Wednesday, November 03, 1999 2:29 PM [NS: I liked writing this one in the "Little Costume Shop of Horrors" thread, I thought I'd repost it. Enjoy!] "I'll raise ya." "I'm out." "Too rich for my blood..." "I'll see you. Whatcha got?" Larry put down his cards, face up. "Read 'em and weep, boys! Full house!" "Aw, all I got is two pair..." "Oh, yeah..." chuckled Larry as he began to gather up the chips. Moe stopped him and put down his cards. "... Of queens..." Moe finished. Larry cursed to himself as Moe brought the chips to his side of the table. "No fair! You cheated!" accused Larry. "Of course I cheated!" returned Moe. "We're Team Rocket!" "I don't like this," said Shemp. "Yeah," said Curly. "I wanna be out trick'r'treatin', not gaurding stolen Pokémon and Pokémon merchandise in some abandoned warehouse on Halloween!" "Quit yer whinin'," ordered Moe. "That's not what I mean," corrected Shemp. "I hear evil things come out on Hollowe'en!" "Yeah, us!" commented Larry. Everyone laughed except Shemp. Moe began to redeal the cards. "I'm serious!" said Shemp. "Monsters and phantoms and ghosts, like..." Shemp leaned in closer, the light casting eerie shadows on his face and the music swelling. "... The Were-o-wak!" "The Were-o-what?" asked Curly, studying his cards. "The Were-o-wak!" explained Shemp. "Half-man, half-Marowak! They say it appears every Hallowe'en to attack unsuspecting Rockets in abandoned, dark buildings like this one!" "Balderdash!" dismissed Moe. "It's true!" insisted Shemp. "It all started years ago, when Team Rocket operatives killed a Marowak living in Lavender Town's Pokémon Tower where they were hiding out. Its spirit rose up from the grave and possesed the body of a young boy; Twisting his body into a form neither man nor beast, but a hideous mix of both! The Were-o-wak then went to the very top of Pokémon Tower where the operatives were hiding out and bashed their heads in with it's massive Bone Club!" "No...." denied Larry. "Oh, yes," comfirmed Shemp. "And they say it all happened on this very night... Hallowe'en!" Moe was getting tired of Shemp's colorful pronunciation of Halloween, as well as his totally absurd story. "If those operatives are all dead," he said, "then how do you know this all happened?" Suddenly, a large object crashed through the skylight and slammed into the card table, scattering cards and chips everywhere. The object stood up, an intense, alien glow eminating from the eye-holes of its skull helmet. "Its the Were-o-wak!" cried Curly. Moe pulled out his gun and shot at it. The bullet went right through the Were-o-wak and hit Larry. "Drowzee! G-" Shemp's command was cut short by a massive Bone Club colliding with his head. Moe attempted to bumrush the Were-o-wak, but it was countered by a large tail. Were-o-wak looked about the three fallen Rocket bodies. Three? Were-o-wak heard whimpering and shivering off in a corner. Behind a metal shelf stocked with stolen Pokéballs cowered Curly. "Please... don't..." plead Curly. Images flashed through the Were-o-wak's mind of a little baby Cubone cowering before a Rocket. The Were-o-wak lifted Curly by his collar. "Tell them..." demanded the Were-o-wak in hoarse, animalistic voice. "T-t-tell them what?" stammered Curly. "Tell them..." continued the Were-o-wak. "... I live..."
