EPISODE TWO: NURSE ROY

So now, Rogue and Evra had two Pokémon each: Rogue (Magikarp, Caterpie) and Evra (Abra, Pidgey). They felt set to take on the Pokémon World! But first they had to eat dinner: soup (blades of grass and spit) and biscuits (mushrooms that may or may not be poisonous).

"Dude, this sucks big balls, man," Evra groaned as he and Rogue sat on the forest floor staring in disgust at their sad excuse for a meal.

"Do we actually have to eat this crap!" Rogue whined.

"D'ya have anything else in mind?" Evra asked.

Their stomachs growled.

They sighed. They had been so excited about getting their first Pokémon that they had failed to pack any edible substances whatsoever. If they didn't hurry up and get to Corn City, they figured that it wouldn't be long before they started eating Pokémon. Or resorting to cannibalism.

"Maybe we should go back, grab some grub, and then set out again tomorrow," Rogue suggested.

Evra scoffed. "Forget about it, Rogue!" he shot down. "If we go back, we may just resort back to fun on the PlayStation 2! We've gotta keep going and tough it out!"

"And what? Starve to death?"

"I heard that fried human fingers taste good."

"Well, do you care to contribute?" Rogue questioned. "I'm not."

Their stomachs growled again. Evra picked up a blade of grass and held it in front of his face. A glob of spit dripped off of it. He dropped it back into the pile in repulsion. "Screw it, I'm not eating this shit."

"So, what are we going to do, then!" Rogue demanded.

Evra stood up and shouldered his near-empty backpack. "Let's go," he said.

"Go where?" Rogue asked suspiciously, rising as well.

"To Corn City," he replied. "The more we travel, the sooner we'll get there!"

And he was right. By noon the next day, and through the wonder of walking non-stop, they arrived in Corn City and headed straight for the city's Pokémon Centre…where they collapsed onto the floor.

"Oh my!" cried out Nurse Roy in surprise, leaping out from behind the front desk in his little pink dress. "Are you two okay!"

"Food…" croaked Evra.

"Water…" added Rogue.

Nurse Roy hurriedly grabbed them by their legs and dragged them across the floor until he reached the cafeteria. There, he pulled them up and sat them on stools at a table. Finally, he got three bowls of chicken noodle soup, several soft and flaky biscuits, three servings of yogurt with fruit added, and big glasses of apple juice, placed them in front of the teenagers, and sat down across from them to eat.

"How long have you guys been without food?" Nurse Roy asked as Evra and Rogue ate faster than he'd ever seen someone do before.

"Only a day," said Evra in between bites of food, "but we've been walking this whole time."

"We got here all the way from Lettuce Town in only a day!" Rogue added, shoving a whole biscuit into her mouth and downing it with a big gulp of her juice.

"Only a day!" Nurse Roy repeated. "Speedy little devils, aren't you?" He was quite an attractive man, with long spikey hair and big blue eyes, smooth and shaved legs, and slight stubble on his lower face. He also loved his nurse outfit. And kittens.

"We had no food," Rogue replied. "We were in a hurry."

"I wish you had waited until tomorrow to show up though," admitted Nurse Roy.

"Why?" Evra and Rogue asked together.

"Because Team Cock-It are rumoured to be dropping in town today."

"Team Cock-It?" Rogue repeated.

"Who's Team Cock-It?" Evra asked. "A horde of gangbangers?"

"No," Nurse Roy corrected. "There's two of them--Seviena and Rollo--they're a team of exotic dancers. Evil exotic dancers."

"Evil how?" asked Evra.

"They distract people with their dancing act, and then steal their Pokémon!" Nurse Roy explained. "They're the two most prominent members of the organization."

"So there are more of these Cock-Its?" Rogue asked.

"Greatly; it's a huge organization." Shouts of awe, joy, and 'how sinful!' from some conservatives erupted in the lobby. "And now they're here."
