??!/? : the fanfic

Last time on ??!/? : the fanfic! Mich met his green-haired nemesis and got his first Pokémon,
a Mankey with vast Psychic powers.

Mich is now on his way to Old Pewter, a small city just north of Viridian Shopping
Tower. "Geez, Mankey get off my head!!! Hey, what's that?" Mich said as he pointed out a
kid trying futilely to hide behind a bush.

"Hey... I'm Phu... I hate my name, but I'm a great Pokémon trainer!" The child stated
as he sulked out from behind the bush. He brandished his belt and foolishly placed Pokéballs
tied on like odd fruit in a clump.

"Oh, and I'm guessing you want to battle?"

"Indeed! But alas, I'm far too powerful for anyone around here."

"Uh, I guess I'm game..." Mich said as Phu tried to pull a Pokéball from his belt.
After Phu pulled the ball free, he tossed it in the air and pointed at it. "Wait! No! Stop,
STOP STOP!!! Don't! Don't do..." Mich paused.

It was over before it had begun. Both trainers were awestruck. No sooner did the red
beam of light began to penetrate the crease of the Pokéball, Mankey blasted the ball with a
beam of light and the ball reclosed and made a small shrieking noise. "Hunh? OH! I WON! I WON!
YAY!!!!" Mich shouted as the ball hit the ground and Phu gasped. Mich blasted into a frenzy.

"It's just not fair..." Phu said with a blank look on his face. He then did what any
other five-year-old, Pokémon obsessed kid would do, he fell down and burst into a whining and
complaining hissy-fit. He slammed his hands on the ground and cried and kicked. Then he stood
and he stomped and shouted, "I'm telling my Mommy on you!!!" And he ran away.

Mich passed over the next hill and saw what he wanted to see, a Poké-Porto-Potty! He
was enthralled! Entranced! Ecstatic! Other happy words that start with E!

Will Mich ever get to Old Pewter? Is that kid's mother going to react to Mankey's
quick and easy defeat of whatever that kid was going to use? Can I go eat now?
