Take that! nya: Wouldn't the chair have worked better APRIL: ........ throws a Master Ball at Ramzam, then reads the newspaper A rooftop sale. Oh joy... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-= Chapter 3: When boxes attack "H-help me!" cried someone. I rolled over and stood up. The best way to describe what I saw? As I stepped forward, I saw I tree being chased by a rabid dog. It was when the "dog" pinned the "tree" against another tree that something dawned on me. Painfully. In fact, the sun burned half of my hair off. When people were talking about PROF.s and birches, they were referring to a person. This person. I'm such an idiot. The Prof. screamed something about a bag and POKeBALLs. What's a pokeball? I remembered back to when I first saw Professor Birch. If that mouse was a pokemon then that orb must have been a pokeball. i dug around in his discarded bag. Scratch that. I picked up the whole thing and dumped it's contents on the ground. Papers blew in the wind. Birch wimpered but that may have been because the dog pokemon POKeMON was standing on his head and gnawing on his right earlobe. Three orbs rolled across the ground. I picked one up at random. The dialouge box said, "Do you choose this POKeMON? YES NO" "Yes?" I said tentatively. The scene shifted. An odd blue thing with starry cheeks was mooning me. I box next to it said, "MUDKIP Lv.5 HP:--------------------: 20/20 EXP.~~~~~~~~~~~~" Farther away, the dog thing was staring me down with a cheerful grin on his face. The box next to it said, "ZIGZAGOON Lv.2 HP:--------------------:" "How?!" I cried. "How is that possible?! HOW DO BOXES TALK?!?" Ignoring me (as usual) a box below the others said, "What should \|FIGHT BAG MUDKIP do? \|POKeMON RUN" "Erm...fight?" "TACKLE TAIL WHIP --- ---" "Tail whip?" Mudkip ran over and shoved it’s tail up Zigzagoon’s nose, moved it around a bit, then ran back. Zigzagoon’s HP remained unscathed. "What the hell was that?!" I screamed at. No one believes me but I swear I saw it stick its tounge out at me. Zigzagoon sneezed then rushed Mudkip, slamming into him. "Wild ZIGZAGOON used TACKLE," announced the box. "Shut the %$@# up already! I'm sick 'a ya and all your box-y breathren!!!" As you can tell, I was, shall we say, becomeing irked. (To put it politely.) "HP:~~----------------: 18/20" said the box by Mudkip. I ground my teeth and went through the procedure again, this time using TACKLE. One-hit K.O. "MUDKIP gained 15 EXP. Points!" "I don't care about the %$@#in' ex. p. points!!" I screamed. The boxes vanished and more beeping ensued. Birch and I teleported back to the lab. "So AP--(beep) (beep) (beep) (beep) (beep) (beep) (fanfare) While you're at it, why don't you give a nickname to that MUDKIP? YES NO" "ARRGGHHHH!--huh?" I looked around quickly. What had happened to the lab? This "new" place looked surprisingly similar to when I had been "named." "Oh, great. Not this again," I moaned. But it seemed to be for the mudfish thing so I sat back and watched. M-U-D M-U-D "MUD MUD? No way! Of all the stupid-- nuh-uh! Take it back!" Who am I talking to...? The lab was back, complete with beeping. Groan. Oh, look another yes/no. No. Definately. "Oh, don't be that way. You should go meet my kid. YES NO" Fine. YES. Birch pleased, I headed for the door, then stopped dead in my tracks. But it wasn't me who stopped me. That is, I was stopped by not me. Ah... it was as if I had been coated in honey, wrapped in fly paper, walked into clear Quik set concrete, dipped in water, then sent to Antartica. I couldn't move. Beside me there was a white box: POKeMON BAG APRIL SAVE OPTION EXIT A smaller, red box framed the word SAVE. There was a beep and boxes appeared and vanished to fast to follow. "APRIL saved the game." The boxes vanished, there was a click... ...and the world was thrown into darkness.... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=
