Date: Wednesday, December 01, 1999 7:52 PM "Wait a second!" pleaded Julia, " I don't have six pokemon". "What! You just waltz in here defeating MY Charizard and then you don't even have six damn pokemon!" Blaine was red as he returned his pokeballs to his belt. "Now then girl, what did you come here for?" Blaine said with a hint of anger in his voice. "I came here for advice. But after seeing how egocentric you are, I decided that you aren't the one to give it to me. Good day Mr. Blaine", said Julia as she walked out gym with a smile on her face. After the last of the group finished their battles, they returned to the Pokemon Center and turned in their PokeBalls for healing. Spunky struggled when Sarah Jane put him on the counter. "NNNIIIII NI DO RAN!" <<I DON'T WANNA GO!>> Shields rolled his eyes. "Spunky, you were burned back there. You need to be checked out by the doctors," said Sarah Jane. Obediently, Cuddles jumped up to the counter and waited for her brother. Pouting, Spunky ceased his struggle and sat next to his sister. "That's better. You be a good boy." "What are you going to do when they evolve?" asked Kat. "I'll cross that bridge when I get to it," replied Sarah Jane. "Hey, look at this," said Jon, who was looking at a poster. The poster announced a big tournament at the Indigo Plateau and went into a lengthy discussion of divisions, requirements, etc. "That sounds interesting," said Runt. "But it starts in 3 days. Short of Pidgeot Express, I doubt we'd get there in time to register." "I know," said Sarah Jane. "And I don't think we have enough strong flying pokemon to make it there ourselves." While the others discuss the possible methods of transport, Sarah Jane walked over to the counter. She brushed away a couple of tears. "May I help you?" asked Nurse Joy. "Yes. Was my.... Fearow's..... my.... fearow.... sent to Lavendar?" "Sarah Jane Eckert, right? Yes. And that written report you provided me was forwarded to the police. They'll keep their eyes open for the one you described. Officer Jenny in Saffron has been put on the alert for those two Rockets you described. Too bad you didn't get a good look at that other man." Sarah Jane nodded. "I know. He's the one that grabbed my Pokemon.... but he turned to run when I showed up and fell into the trash. I couldn't see his face." That man that had grabbed Cuddles and Spunky.... she could tell his reluctance and his worry of his own pokemon.... she couldn't totally turn him to the police. As upset as she was over the whole situation, she could sympathise with his feelings over the kidnapping of his Pokemon. "Chansey," said a Chansey bringing over a note and some Pokeballs. "Oh, I almost forgot. While you were out, these arrived for you," said Nurse Joy. Sarah Jane read the note. Smiling, she picked up the PokeBalls and ran back to her friends. They were sitting at a table with several papers. "Okay," said Runt. "The ferry takes too long, then we have to cross overland." "Pidgeot Express is too expensive...." said Christy. "Problem solved guys," said Sarah Jane. "My grandmother figured we'd want to make the touranment and sent some of her trained Pidgeots!" The gang blinked in surprise. "You're kidding," said Julia. "Nope. My grandmother raises and trains Pidgeots aside from her Pokemon teaching. A lot of her Pidgeots go to Pidgeot Express." Sarah Jane set the Pidgeot Pokeballs on the table. "We can head out once we finish here. My grandparents are going to meet us at the Tournament." "Cool," said Kristy. "We can head out once our Pokemon are healed." <TBC in another thread> -- (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.
