From: otaku <animeotaku@mindspring.com> Subject: [PW!] Viridian rush hour Date: Sunday, November 21, 1999 7:01 PM As Alpha and Omega exited the tiny burg of Pallet town and through the equally small Viridian city, Alpha released his new Geodude, to try to get some information on it. "Geodude. The rocky pokemon. This pokemon is often mistaken for a boulder on the road." Alpha sighed. "Some help." Clicking the pokedex shut, he walked down the path as his sister ran ahead. A few Caterpie and Weedle passed by, but niether trainers found them particuraly inviting. Calling back his Geodude, Alpha walked ahead on the path. "Hey you! Suit boy!" A voice came from behind the bushes. A small boy, about 10 years old carrying a net appeared. "You better get outta here city slicker! Get outta here 'fore the rush hour!" Raising an eyebrow slightly, Alpha raised a pokeball from off his belt. "Was that a challange?" The bug trainer shook his head. "Just a warning suit boy. Just a warning." With that, he walked back into the bushes in search of more bugs. Just then, Omega came running up. "Bro! Hey, bro! You won't believe this!" Alpha groaned in frustration, rubbing a small vein on his forehead. But his frustration turned to surprise as a pile of Caterpies, in a wave formation came up behind his sister. His jaw dropped down 5 inches as the Caterpies formed the word "rush" on the ground. "Isn't that neat? They've been doing that ever since i found them!" She giggled happily. "Maybe i should catch 'em all, like that song says!" She laughed again. "Omega...i think we should leave." He took his sister by the arm, heading towards the the exit of the forest as fast as possible. But it wasnt fast enough, as a wave of bug pokemon as tall as a Dragonite overwelmed the two of them, burying thier crys in collective shouts of "Caterpie!" and "Weeeedle!" After what seemed like an eternity underneath the pile of bugs, but was really only thirty seconds, the two found themselves pulled into a tree by a young boy in overalls. "I warned ya, city boy. Them critters get mighty riled." Two more bug hunters poked their heads down from the tree. One was a large boy, wearing a white shirt and dirty blue jeans. The other a small girl with freckles and large glasses too big for her eyes. "Ya'll should be able to get down now, seems like the tide's passed." The girl spoke. Alpha and Omega nodded and hopped down from the tree, heading into Pewter city. The Pewter city gym had a line outside it around the block. Both trainers sighed and took thier places. An old man groaned when he saw the line. "Oh man..better get the big pad." "The big pad?" Omega inquired. Shaking his head, the old man sighed. "I'm the guy who has to keep track of Brock's losses." Both Alpha and Omega facefaulted. TBC AnimeOtaku, TR Ninja on AIM Sig. not included
