Espeon, prancing through a meadow,
glances up, and sees bobbing white squares in the
distance.
Espeon trots back into Mauville to see what is going on.
Espeon wags its tail at Blissey sweeping the steps of
the Pokemon Center.
Turning the corner, Espeon smirks at the sight that
it beholds.
A group of Linoones and Zigazoons are holding signs,
picketing the Mauville City Game Corner in a rather erratic
fashion.
Espeon watches for a minute reading the signs.
"Why ban Zappy?"
"If LC is good enough for Totodile, it is good enough for us"
"What will electric have left, if Zappy leaves Modified?"
Another sign has "Why ban Zappy?" crossed out and
something written in a small pen penciled in...
Espeon notices the group seems to be more intent on searching
the ground for Gaming Coins lost by the Weekend Gambling crowd
than forming any particular line or pattern.
Furret bounces up to Espeon, looking very pleased with its self.
Furret "Rather nice, don't you think?"
Espeon "I would think a calm rational discussion with MT Jimmer
on the merits and possible ramifications of the Legendary Collection's
future could be more productive for long term results."
Espeon pulls out a Lava Cookie thinking it might calm Furret down.
Furret seeing the Lava Cookies immediately declares "Oh no you don't-
I can't be bribed!!!"
A small Zigzagoon carrying a small sign bearing the words:
"Why ban Zappy?" waltzes up to Espeon and looks expectantly.
Furret "You cannot bribe my faithful band of followers, either!!!"
Small Zigzagoon "We don't know who Zappy is, but Furret is such
a nice friend."
The small Zigzagoon continues staring at the Lava Cookie in Espeon's
paw.
Espeon rolls its eyes and hands the Lava Cookie to the now very happy
small Zigzagoon.
The Zigzagoon begins earnestly searching through the tall gr***, its
sign bobbing in and out of sight among the weeds.
Espeon clears its throat...
A Linoone waltzes up to Furret, sees Espeon and begins a long discourse
on the Merits of a Legendary Fire Pokemon named Zappy should have
on the strategy of Pokemon Battles particularly when Scizor seems to be
rather hard to beat...
Espeon politely thanks Linoone and hands it a Lava Cookie too...
Another Zigzagoon rushes up, this one much larger than the first and
begins with a campaign lecture on "Pappy for President"
Espeon rolls its eyes and glances at Furret.
Furret shrugs and hands the "Loyal" follower another Lava Cookie to
keep them happy...
Three Hitmonchans stroll by heading west towards the gym.
Furret warily glances at them.
Furret "Those big bullies, all they want is an easy Gym Badge"
Espeon "Not all Fighting types are bad, look at that Machamp over there..."
Furret looks eastward towards Rydel's Cycle Store and sees a
Machamp racing up and down the street with a little boy on its
shoulder making loud noise and antics and having lots of fun.
Furret "Probably charges $5 a ride..."
Espeon looks innocent yawns and uses telekinesis to dump
the contents of Furret's backpack on top of Furret.
Energy cards go flying everywhere as Furret is lost in a heap
of cards...
Furret laughs and begins throwing cards back at Espeon...
Time p***es as Espeon takes a nap in the sun.
Three very cocky Hitmonchans (one much larger than the rest)
exit the PokeMart and walk over to the fence that surround the
Game Corner.
They disappear and soon return with picket signs that say:
"Ban Mewtwo ex"
As they try to join the group of Picketers, Furret heads them off
saying "We don't want to ban anyone, please leave..."
The largest Hitmonchan (apparently a Pokemon ex) stops and looks
quite put off that a Normal Pokemon would even think of challenging
it.
Hitmonchan ex glances around notices Espeon apparently sleeping...
The largest Linoone picks up a rock and tosses it at the closest Hitmonchan
Furret's eyes begin to shine a whitish color (sight sharing).
The smaller Hitmonchan prepares an impressive rock smash attack...
The rock stops in mid air 5 feet away from Hitmonchan as its attack
clumsily flails empty air.
The rock begins to casually orbit the Hitmonchans.
Two Zigzagoons decide to press the attack as more rocks fill the air...
Each rock stops in mid air and the Hitmonchans begin to look
rather funny as they lose their balance and fall on the ground.
The Jewel on Espeon's forehead is now brightly glowing though
Espeon is still apparently sleeping...
As more and more rocks join in Orbit around the Hitmonchans,
they begin to form characters of the Japanese Language.
(Untranslatable, though the Narrator has a very high regard for
Japanese philosophies, ideas and talent, he hasn't the faintest
idea how to translate the language)
The Hitmonchan begin bating at the rocks with their signs,
the signs break, and the Hitmonchans run away...
Furret eyes stop shining as it walks over to Espeon.
The Linnones and Zigzagoons as is their nature procede
to pick up the meadow of both trash and treasures...
A Slakoth stirs in the tree past the fence, slowly turns
around and goes back to sleep...
Espeon yawns, streches, and looks around innocently and
lies back down to take another sun nap...
Furret "Cut that out you big faker..."
Suddenly there is a rather large Sneasel in their midst...
Furret "Is it real? Or is it memorex??"
Espeon looks up uses mind reading and Says "Definately an ex type."
The Sneasel ex is holding a sign that reads:
"Save the whales"
The Hitmonchans are standing on the other side of the east fence
holding signs that say "Save Warilord ex"
Espeon "Hmmm....a riddle indead..."
Furret infuriated says "It's no riddle to me..."
Espeon "Perhaps, they are trying to ask Pokemon USA to go ahead and
print that 200 hp Warilord ex even though some people fear it is broken,
and could be used with Pokemon Nurse and Center to stall forever..."
Furret madder yet "Of all the Pokemon in exsistance, how many of them
other than Base Zapdos can faint that Pokemon in one hit???"
The Linoones begins a new bombardment of pebbles at the Hitmonchans...
Furret quite enraged at the subtle plot to mess up its nicely organized
demonstration, charges up to the Hitmonchan ex and demands a duel.
Furret "You will pick a hero to battle for you and I will do the same."
Hitomonchan ex looks smugly at Sneasel ex and shakes on it.
Furret sets up the match allowing the Hitmonchans to sit on Sneasel's
bench. Furret fetches two rainbow and one recycle energy for Sneasel,
and gives Espeon three Psychic energy out of its backpack.
Espeon "Thanks a lot..."
Furret winks at Espeon.
Furret count down from 10 to start the match...

As Furret shouts "GO", it tosses something high into the air...
Espeon leaps forward twisting in the air reaching out for the
glittering object.
Sneasel ex uses the first part of its Beat Up attack.
It misses due to Espeon's leap
Espeon summersaults in the air, causing Seasel ex's
second Beat Up to barely miss.
Espeon lands light on its feet and rolls with the impact
of Sneasel ex's third Beat Up attack.
Espeon performs two spins in the air, lands solidly
and begins to glow in an overwhelming crystal outline.
(Due to the Crystal Shard that Furret tossed to Espeon).
Espeon quickly uses Psychic which knocks out Sneasel ex
Quite shocked at the unexpected turn of events,
the two smaller Hitmonchans spy a bicycle built
for two leaning against the South fence and use
it to make a quick getaway to Cycling Road.
Furret proudly walks up to Hitmonchan ex and
says "Perhaps you would like to hear a business proposition?"
Hitmonchan ex eyes Espeon solemnly and slowly nods.
In a few minutes, the picketing signs have been transformed
into firewood and Hitmonchan ex is roaming the street holding
a sign labeled "Furret's Fancy Fine Fast Foods"
Linoones and Zigzagoons watch amazed as Furret pulls a
large table, 4 chairs, and a lemonade fountain out of its
somewhat small backpack.
Linoone "They sure teach you some neat tricks in Johto.."
Espeon "Actually, I would credit a Nanny from England with that one,
Furret always did love watching Disney Movies..."
Espeon walks over to the fainted Sneasel ex
Espeon "Hmm...I wonder..."
Soon, Furret's newest enterprise is briskly doing business selling
Lemonade, Roasted Marshmallows, and other treats.
Furret and Espeon get into a deep discussion...
Espeon "Do you think we can get away with it?"
Furret "Sure, we fooled Doug didn't we?"
Espeon snorts "Didn't you hear his aside about the Bulldozer
Master?
Furret ???
Espeon "That man taught him to look at broken bolts for rust inside
the break."
Furret "Oh well, but it has been a while since we threw it over all those
cliffs."
Espeon "The last time I saw it, some Donphans were "playing" with it."
Furret "Do you think it survived?"
Espeon "Only one way to find out."
Espeon teleports
Linoone "How did Espeon learn that?"
Small Zigzagoon "Read an Abra's mind. Shhhh... We aren't supposed to know."
Espeon teleports back in then nods to Furret.
Espeon moves beside Sneasel ex and teleports again.
Furret wanders up the street to find the little boy it saw playing with Machamp
earlier in the day.
Furret comes back with the little boy and pulls several Ultra Balls out of its
backpack.
Linoone pokes its head into the backpack, wondering what else is in it,,,
Linoone pulls out a Acro Bike and trades places with Hitmonchan ex's
advertising job, riding up and down the street doing wheelies..."
The little boy named Ralph spies Hitmonchan ex walking back to the
lemonade stand. He looks up at Furret who hands the boy a strange
ball with a special marking on it.
Furret "One chance....aim carefully and throw hard."
Ralph waits a second then rushes forward and tosses the Pokeball
at point blank range.
Hitmonchan ex sees the boy rushing up and smiles...
The Pokeball opens and Hitmonchan ex disappears.
The Pokeball drops to the ground and the light blinks on and off seven
times then stops...
Ralph "Yay, I did it!!!"
Espeon "Very well done!"
Later...
Ralph "Are there really Darkness Pokemon around here?"
Espeon "There is rumored to be a special shrine that they protect..."
Ralph eyes wide "Really???"
Espeon steers Ralph a little bit more to the right
Ralph spies something ahead
Espeon veers off "Maybe we should go this way?"
Ralph rushes forward towards a rather battered large stone tilted
at a rather awkward angle to the sky.
Espeon continues veering off into the brush.
Ralph "Look at this.."
Espeon move over...
Ralph brushes the dust off the stones...
Ralph trying to read:
"Disturb not the harmony of Fighting, Psychic, and Darkness
lest these Titans reek destruction on the world in which they clash..."
Ralph "Wooowwww...."
Ralph moves to the back of the monument and sees Sneasel ex lying
there.
Ralph snatches up all three UltraBalls and throws them one right after
another.
Espeon moves forward and smiles to see Ralph triumphantly holding a
Pokeball...
Espeon "Remember what Furret said about kindness and love?
Ralph nod solemnly...
Ralph reads the inscription again:
"Disturb not the harmony of...."
Espeon thinks perhaps everything is being restored to balance after all....
glances up, and sees bobbing white squares in the
distance.
Espeon trots back into Mauville to see what is going on.
