From: <mastergecko@my-deja.com> Subject: [PW]Gecko,Psi, and Coal Date: Tuesday, December 28, 1999 7:30 PM Gecko wiped sweat from his face. He was beginning to feel that maybe he should return to the Pokemon Center. Coal, his Geodude, was starting to look to weak to go on but his goal was so close. 'Abra must be close to evolving and Coal looks ready to grow again.' Gecko thought,'No, I can't push them that far.' They were a short walk from the Cerulean PokeCenter but in this heat it seemed to take forever. He knew both of his pokemon would enjoy being healed and Gecko knew he would enjoy the air-conditioning inside. "Well! What do we have here?" exclaimed the nurse, "I'm so glad you adopted these poor pokemon, Gecko, but I sure hope your giving them plenty of water." "Of course, but I wonder what would be the right food for them." "Oh, I know just the thing! The GravelFood III would be just the thing for Geodude and...." As the two, prattled on no one noticed the new client walking in. Dressed in a black trenchcoat, a black hat and gloves, the client sweated vigorously. A idle pokemon trainer casually glanced over at the black dressed newcomer. The trainer saw him reach into his trenchcoat pocket, thinking he was just going to grab his pokeballs out of it. The black-dressed man seeing the trainer look at him glared at the trained evilly. Shaken, the trainer muttered what could have been an apology or a curse under his breath and looked away. The black-dressed man sank back deeper and when he thought he couldn't be seen began pulling his hand out. Sweat could be seen beading along the man's wrist. His hand trembled as he slowly pulled out the small hand gun. "F-f-freeze!" he said unconfidently. "G-g-give me y-y-your pokemon and m-m-money. N-now." Everyone turned wondering just what was going down. Looking the man up and down, Gecko began thinking about just who this man could be. "I SAID give me your pokemon!" the man said more assuredly gesturing wildly with the gun. "Sir,please calm down," said the nurse slightly afraid and moving slowly toward him. "Back up. NOW!" the man's adrenaline had finally kicked in. "Sir put down the gun. You don't want to-" "STOP!" the man screamed and began pulling the trigger. The gun kicked and bucked, and the man couldn't keep it trained on the nurse. People screamed, pokemon roared and glass broke, as bullets flew through the air. Ducking, Gecko saw blood fly, and mouths open as if yelling, but he heard nothing. Time seemed to slow down. He could see every persons terrified expression. He saw the gunner's look of anger and confusion. He saw bullets lodge themselves into bodies of humans and pokemon alike. Then he saw it. That horrendous red R that had haunted him when he had his job. Team Rocket. Rage building within himself. He could barely see through the red of anger and the blur of tears. He found his anger being felt, examined and finally channelled. Out of his pokeball appeared his very first pokemon. His Abra named Psi. Suddenly, Psi's eyes glowed with a faint, white light. Blue somethings, they could only be described as waves, shot out of Psi. People and pokemon alike clutched heads and moaned. Soon afterwards, Gecko felt his anger vanish as if the Abra had somehow taken it away. Perplexed, Gecko watched his Abra shoot back into his pokeball. The police arrived soon afterwards to find a room of confused pokemon and trainers, one unconcious criminal, and a one awake, semi-aware boy. Those who remembered what happened told the story to the disbelieving police, who when looking to confirm the story, never saw the sobbing shadow sneak out a broken window. --------------------------- Sorry if this shows up more than once.
