From: Time Lady <sailrgal@my-deja.com> Subject: [PW!][League]After the first round.... Date: Monday, December 06, 1999 3:51 PM After a long and arduous battle, it's time for a break. Since the next round wouldn't be until tomorrow, Sarah Jane decided to take a break from the action. After taking her latest team of fighters to the Pokemon Center she sat at a table in the restaurant with her grandparents. "How come you decided on this particular team?" asked Dr. Eckert. "I wanted to see how my new Staryu performed in battle," replied Sarah Jane. "I knew my Tangela could do the job. And you taught me that psychic would usually beat fighting, so Shields was probably my best choice there." "Good. You've been paying attention," said Dr. Eckert approvingly. Sarah Jane fed Pteryx another bite. Under the table, Cuddles and Spunky practiced pouncing on a PokeDoll. After their last "adventure," they were being careful to stick close to Sarah Jane. "Sarah Jane!" said Julia as she ran up excitedly. "You were right about Candi! She pulled out a Magikarp in the middle of battle!" "Candi isn't here, is she?" asked Lillian in surprise. "Jeeves too," said Sarah Jane. "She created a huge fuss when they told her she couldn't be in the 7+ badge category." "That girl shouldn't be a trainer," said Dr. Eckert. "Nothing to be done about it now," replied Lillian. "Have you heard how Jon and Damian did?" asked Julia. "Not yet," replied Sarah Jane. "We came, we battled, we kicked butt!" said Jon triumphantly as he, Damian, and Drake walked over to the table. Sarah Jane looked slightly embarrassed as her grandfather chuckled. She briefly introduced everyone. "Thank you for sending the Pidgeots," said Damian politely. "No problem," said Lillian. "I figured you would need lifts." "Anyone seen Christy?" asked Jon. "She saw all the markets set up for the tournament, said something about 'shopping bonanza,' then disappeared," said Sarah Jane. "We'll probably see her this evening." Under the table, Spunky was becoming bored with attacking the Pokeball. He spied his favorite prey waving just at the edge of the tablecloth. With an evil gleam in his eye, he stalked his prey, then pounced.... Drake jumped nearly a foot in the air and howled in pain. Everyone looked at him in surprise. The Dragonite held up his tail with a small Nidoran attached. "Sorry," said Sarah Jane as she tried to disentangle Spunky from Drake's tail. <TBC, I hope> -- (o)_(o) || Time Lady, sailrgal@swbell.net _(^*^)_ || sailrgal@hotmail.com, sailrgal@my-deja.com (__ __) || Visit the Mystic Manor Homepage /_/\_\ || http://members.tripod.com/~MysticManor Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
