From: Chuck Einhorn <unicorns@mmtcnet.com> Subject: [PW!][LEAGUE]Dernam vs. Amber Date: Thursday, December 02, 1999 8:08 PM "Mmm, bop, bop bop du whp, da......" Amber hummed to herself, along with the music that was her intro tune. She had been her before, and hd done well. The crowd still remembered her, and they were ecstatic. "I can't lose. The people like me too much. I'm primed for victory. And this Dernam guy sounds gay......" She spoke quietly to herself, and waved to the roaring crowd. Her music faded, ad she stepped up to her platform, ablaze in her red hair and orange shirt and shorts. She sort of looked like Misty, but younger, and she took pride in that. Amber was deathly curious as oowhoo her opponent was...... she suspected his intro to be nerdy. Heh, his name was lame too. A form appears in the oppositeside of the rocky, jagged field. A glowing red thing, a Flareon stood beside it. And music suddenly blared from the speakers, much louder then her own Hansen anthom had been. Much louder. "Take a look around ya tell me what ya see? You see flames and smoke," A tall, black clad young man, with a Flareon at his side, steppedout of the shadows. He bore the most unflattering, serious frown Amber had ever seen. Her smile quickly faded. "Then there's me. I'm burnin houses and jumpin from the phone polls, the call me Fireface, I'm suckin hot coals." At this point, many members of he crowd murmured in astonishment and distgust. "Give me a quata, I'll buy a quata worth of gas, sneak in yo house, and slowly bow it in you ass!" Amber facefaulted SEVERLY, and a huge collective gasp raced past the crowd of the Rock Field. "Blaze it up, you run around screech ad scorn, yur ass is burnin, your nuts pop like popcorn. When I see ya, I stomp all the flames out. Stomp yo face anyo ass, stomp yer titties." Th rest of the song was lost in the huge yelling and booing, hissing and screaming, of a enraged crowd. Amber was dumbfounded. God, how Dernam loved an entrance. Especially when accompanied by a good ICP song, like "Stomp." He took his side, 6 ever vigilant, and witdrew his first Pokéball. He would open with Gyarados. Always had, if he didn't know his opponent well. The crowd finally quieted, the song was over, and Amber was fumbling wth her first ball. 2 clicks and..... "Giirrrraaaaaaarrrr!" "Magmaaaaaauuurrrrr!" Amber nearly fell over as she realized se'd just messed up. Badly. This would be short. "Too easy. Gyarados, Hydro Pump." Gyarados' long snakelike body drew back, and she emminated a loud sucking noise, concentrating water in her mouth. Magmar, well, just srtof stood and stared, paralyzed by fear. Paralysis gave way to defeat as he was blown backwards by a massive quad-burst of water. The flag man raised is flag. "Magmar is out of the match." Well no duh, Sherlock. Now, Amber's smile widened. "Go, Raichu!" A triumphant cheer from the crowd revealed the popular's support against her low-life, vulgar opponent. Dernam grund his fist int his hand. This was not good. "Gyaraodos, Slam." Gyarados, in desperation, realed back and flung herself forward at the small mouse. "Raichu, Thunderbolt!" Gyarados, fortunately got the first move. Unfortunately, Slam has bad accuracy. Raichu jumped out of th way in te nick of time, as Gyarados slammed into the ground at high speed and skidded forward. Raichu's Thunderbolt connects, and Gyarados shrieks in pain. Unable to listen to that heartbreaking sound, Dernam recalls. "Revenge is in order. Drow." Click, ting! "Nidoooooooo!" Drow the Nidoking swung his arms furiously. Having heard he screams from insideth ball, he was ready to avenge his friend. "Uuhhhh, gahh. Raicu, Mega Punch!" Raichu charged forward and drew his right paw back. "Drow, Double Kick..." Drow, instead lowered his head, and along with it his horn, at the charcing thunderrat, for he had better ideas. "RAAIIIIIII!" Raichu screamed as he narrowly avoided being impaled on Drow's huge white horn. Of course, he was now sitting on the massive spike. Drow threw his head back, and vaulted it over his head and back, directly into a rock pillar in he middle of the field. Raichu picked itself up, ad immediately went to trying another Mega Punch. Droe matteroffactly took the original order and Double Kicked the Raichu s he neared, once to the chest, the secnd to the head. Raichu stumbled and fell. "This match goes to Red trianer, Dernam!" Amber sweatdropped agan. She had one left.... her best. "Go, Alakazam!" The large, gangly psychic type appeared before Drow. Dorw himself sweatdropped. "Of course. A red fire type, a yellow electric type, now an orange psychic.... she loves her orange......" Dernam triedto think of other things besided Nidoking's imminant defeat. "Alakazam, Psychic!" Amber spoke with pride, as the crowd cheered. Nidoking was Psychically lifted, flung around, and slammed into the ground flying backwards. His shrply bladed back spikes, pure as whit snow, smashd into the ground and dug 1'6" furrows in the ground, 3 rows ready for planting, as he flew backwards. He didn't get up. "Damn....." "This match goes to Amber! Next Pokémon?" "Scyther." Scyther's camo-like body appeared from the glow, and she stared the Psychic directly in the eye. "Scyther, Double Team, and stay behind the pillars for christ's sake!" Scyther nodded her head in approval of the plan, then leapt into action. In two directions. Twin images of Scyther bolted behind different pillars. Then two more. And two more. Suddenly, Alakazam was surrounded by Scythers, somefalse, one more real than a gun placed to it's temple. He was more confused than a guy hidden from society since birth suddenly thrust into a huge group of hot chick. "Alakazam, PSYBEAM THE ONE ON THE LEFT!" He thougt it wss the one to te far right. It was. But, thereis somethingo be said about a Pokémon that always follows orders. It is at a disadvantage, especially when it knows better. Unfortunately, he followed orders. A huge beam of Psychic energy slammed the pillar on he left, and it disintagrated. Nothing was behind it. "Kazam?" *Wham!* Distracted only for a second, it was all that was needed for Scyther to make her move, as she Took him Down from behind. His frail frame smacked face first into the rocky, gravely ground, and Scyther, slightly hurt from the recoil, pinned it down. Alakazam made no attempt to getup. "And he winner fo this match is Dernam Eord!" Dernam looked Amber, still in shock, in the eye, and mouthed sme nice obsceneties at her for fun. He took his bows, among amixture of boos, and stunned silence, and left. 6 followed him, hesitated, then ran back. He collided wit Amber's legs, cuddled (for cute girl, just like Dernam said he should) then walked back, head held high, to his friend's side. The red-headed girl in the skirt gretted him at the door. "Congratulaions, you did great!" She hugged him like she'd known him all her life, real close, real hard. 'They' felt real. Yay. "Gee, thanks. now, who's next on my list?" Heturned his head away and tried to stifle his nosebleed. "Well, Derny," Derny? "The rest of the matches aren't done yet. I'll tell you assoon as I can! Do you know whereyour lodging is?" Dernam checked the bck of his card. "Yes, I do now." "Good, just giveme the numbr, and I'll call you as soon as I know!" Dernam looked at her a minute. She had a REALLY pretty mouth.... He wrote down the number quickly. "Thank you! Expect to her from me soon!" Dernam reganed control of his body from his secondary brain, waved goodbye, and left. Self control. Self control SELFCONTROL NOW! SERENITY NOW! SERENITY NOW! SERENITY NOW! SERENITY NOW! SERENITY NOW! SERENITY NOW! Please? "Calm down pal. It's not like se was hiting on me, was she 6?" 6 gave him a long, coy look that said, "I was cute for girl, and I do my job well." The message was sent almost psychically, it seems. "Oh, shut up, what do you know about huma females?" 6 sent another look, containing a message I can't tell you, for fear of scaring the kiddies. "Oh, shut the hell up!" TBC. Who's next Sirius?
