After, they headed back to the 'center. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=- Leon and the injured Pokes arrived safely at the Pokecenter, and Leon is planning to get his final badge to get into the legendary Indigo Stadium. "Well Joy, I'm back."The blood-stained clothes of Leon, led Joy to think of something otherwise. "What happened to your clothes?!" "Well, a funny thing happened to me on the way to the route.." Leon thought of finishing the legendary quote, but thought otherwise. "I don't *want* to know, just get to work on the Fossil Ward, okay? Those activists were lunatics.." "Well Joy," he smugly added, "If memory serves me correctly you too, was once like tho-" "Heh..", Joy sweatdropped, "Um..just finish the job at the Fossil ward, and we'll talk about your leave of abscence for the League." "Woo-hah! Let's go, Carapace!" "Pinn..Pinn...", The insect murmured, and got up from his plate of Pikachu-entrails Nightmare had left him. Leon and Carapace took the left corridor, took two rights, and proceeded to the ward. There, he saw various Chanseys repairing equipment, and serenading the baby Pokémon to sleep. "Hi Blinky, nice to see you again, Gumdrop, haven't seen you in awhile.." Leon spoke with the Chanseys, and met some old aquaintences, while all the Chanseys glowered at Carapace, during his legendary "incident". They made their way to the hatchery, where the cries of hatching Pokémon are heard. He walks toward the incubators, where dozens of eggs are in clear glass cases, stacked in a row. When the eggs hatch, there was a puppet coressponding to the Pokémon which they had to use to feed and hold it, as they don't want the Pokémon to bond to another Pokémon or human that early. Leon was in front of an Kabuto tank, and the young Kabuto was about to evolve. "Kaaa..Bu..TOPS!" The plastic case was being cracked as the tiny Pokémon was evolving into a bladed killing machine. "TOPSS!" "Hm...I better get that thing in a Pokéball before it shatters the glass. *wobble* *wobble* *ping* "Lucky it was weak from evolving. Might as well check it's health and stats. *bing* Leon took out his Medi-Dex and pointed it at the Pokéball. "...Health: Optimum level, internal functions are stable..level; fifty-two. "Damn, that's a late bloomer.." "<It's been here for quite awhile, y'know.>", a Chansey remarked. " Attacks: Slash, Hydro Pump, Harden, Absorb." " Compatable TMs: 06, 32,..." "Hmm... bring up TMs 06 from Gym Leader box, and 32 from Box three, 'dex. " Confirmed." The screen on the Medi-Dex scrolled through the boxes, and got them out of electronic storage."......administering." A beam of yellow light shot out of the 'dex, and into the Pokéball. "....abilites learned. Harden and Absorb have been erased. Powering down." "Kickass, Toxic and Double Team will be great in the league. You're new name will be...Topsy. Simple enough." "Piinn-SIR!" Carapace was busy trying to coax an Omastar out of it's shell. Nine Aerodactyls, four Kabutos, and one pissed off Omastar later.. "Well Joy, we've done the work, and we'd like to leave now." "Okay Leon, you earned it, you can take as long as you need. And here, take this." Nurse Joy gave Leon a coupon on Pokémon items. "That'll work at any store, it'll give you 50% off on any purchase, and it's reuseable. And plus, here!" Joy gave Leon a bag of various Potions, Revives, and other handy items. "That's from our personal stores, and you *better* be grateful, and here." She threw Leon the papers for the van. "Thanks Joy! I'll be back!" Leon and Carapace took a dead run to the garage. "Hoo-hah! This baby's all mine!" "PINN!". He hit the gas, and they were going fifty down the driveway. Soon enough.... "We're on the road to Viridian City...Yeahh..!" "Pinn!" Out of pure animal rage, the huge insect ripped the radio out of it's socket, and threw it over the side of the window. "Thanks, Carapace, and just wait a few minutes; you'll be able to vent your anger on Giovanni's Pokémon soon enough." "Pin...pin." The Pinsir's horns clacked in anticipation. From the backseat, Orim the Chansey pointed at an oncoming shape. "<What's that?>" "<It's roadkill." With that, Carapace took the wheel from Leon and took a hard right, and barreled at the oncoming shape at fifty miles a hour. A young Eevee was crossing the proverbial road. "Bui? Bui-vee!", it called happily, as it saw it's friend, Pikachu, crossed by. "Pikaa!" it waved happily. The Eevee jumped playfully into the air- "<Wooo-HAH!>" ..only to hit a van window. *splat* "KACHUUUU!", Pikachu was crying, as he was showered with blood, then he was charging up his Thundershock technique. "HOLY GOD!" Leon yelled. He brakes, and opens the door, while Orim and Carapace look on. "Found it! My portable TV fell out. Dammit, it's out of charge." Leon walks back, and revs up the engine, then using the window-wipers to wash off the viscera. "Pii...ka...." the dimintuive rodent is almost done charging his Thundershock..and.. "Let's pull back." "Pi?" *screech* "PIIIIIiiiiikaaaa..." *splat* Somehow, the electric attack somehow went though, but most of it was absorbed. Strangely, the charge was enough so Leon's portable televison was full of energy. "Woo-hoo! Maybe I can catch the Gym leader battle on screen." Leon flips to the Pokémon league channel, then attaches his Medi-Dex to it. The 'dex scrolls through battle after battle, then stops to Giovanni's gym. It transfers the video to the TV. Leon watches what appears to be a diminutive ten year-old crying his eyes out as Giovanni's Rhydon smashes his downed Beedrill with it's foot. "...okay...let's see what else is on. Carapace, take the wheel." "Pinnn!" The car drives down the route at fifty, making good time to the gym. TBC... OOC: I'm using this mindless Eevee/Caterpie/Pikachu/Butterfree killing as a joke, people, like Jose did. Heh, he introduced me to Sandslash.
