Pipian sat down in his chair.
"I propose a cheer for the return of Tiki, Pipian, and John!" said Jamie.
"Yeah! Good idea!" said Score. "This ought to be a good occasion of SOME sort..."
"Cheers!" They all said clinking their aluminum Coke cans together.
"Hey, that reminds me..." said Jamie. She threw a Pokéball to Pipian and Score. "Presents from Lewis. Eevees. John, if you don't want it, I'm sure Lewis would understand..."

"I'll pass on that. Any more Eevees and I'll surely be flamed to the pits of Hell." The others stared at him. John went back to chewing his pizza.
re: by Pipian
"Thanks," said Pipian.
"Know what?" said Tiki in between chomping on his slice of pizza.
"What?"
"I've decided I wanna take a break from PODA for a little while. The past few months since John and Pipian's incident have been quite hectic... I think I'm gonna go on a training trip and collect a few more badges."
"Sounds like a good idea to me," said Score.
"Anyone wanna come with me?" asked Tiki.
The group pondered matters for a moment, before Pipian spoke up.
"You know what? I think taking a break from this would be a good idea. I think I'll go on a trip, too... I have 5 or 6 badges. Wanna come with, John?"
re: by Lewis19
Lewis rubbed his eyes. "Come to think of it, I might come with too." Lewis said. Everyone stared at him.
"Don't you already have nine badges?" Tiki asks.
"Well, the thing is, my family travelled a lot on business trips for my dad, and I only earned my badges against Brock, Misty, Surge, and Sabrina. The others I either found or bought." Lewis replies.
"Wait a sec, you FOUND an Earthbadge???" Jamie asked.
"When we took a trip to Viridian, the gym was closed. There was an entire box of badges sitting at the curb, waiting to be picked up by Garbage trucks." Lewis explains.
"Then you don't know who the Gym leader is?" John asked.
"No, not really." Lewis asked. Everyone facefaulted.
"Come to think of it, when I did pass by it, I had this very large Deja-Vu feeling, like I'd been there before. But that would be silly. Anyway, I'm going to finish up the escape pod I'm building-" Lewis says.
"Escape pod?" Score interrupted.
"Yah. Eventually, Team Rocket will come back for revenge over what happened with John and Pipian. Just in case it looks like the HQ will fall, I'm installing an escape pod in my room." Lewis explains.
"Well, good luck." Pipian replies.
"Where did you get the money and parts for an escape pod?" Tiki asks.
Lewis rolled his eyes. "Oh I dunno, maybe it's because I'm rich?"
"Oh yeah..." John says, sweatdropping.

"Hey, if you don't mind, I want to stay here in Cerulean for a while and train my Pokémon for a bit. Besides, I heard that some kind of a Pokémon Derby is being planned for Fuschia. It's not official yet, but once it is I'll send in my new Tauros. Anyways, I had enough action to last me a while." John downed the rest of his Coke in one gulp and grabbed another one for the road. "I'm off to the Celadon Gym for a quick challenge against Misty. Ariel vs. Starmie in a challenge of their abilities. And this time I'll steer clear of Raticates."
The others acknowledged, then Tiki, Pipian, Score and Lewis noticed there was only one piece of pizza left. They stared at each other for a bit, then each went at it the same time. John heard the ruckus all the way from the Gym.
re: by Pipian
After Tiki won the piece of pizza (using such tactics as hitting, biting, using hot wax, and similar stuff), Pipian decided to limp to his room.

"I think I'm going to have to leave soon to," said Darian.
"Really? Why's that?" asked Tiki, after the pizza fight resolved.
"I need to keep searching for my purpose on this world."
"Purpose?" they all asked at once.
"I think it has to do with this Minax person. Although I don't think it's good." he said, taking another sip of his Citra.
"Why do you always drink non-caffienated pop?" Score asked.
"Just trying to keep healthy. I want to live a long life." When noone laughed, Darian sweatdropped and continued.
"So where do you think I should go? I'd like to find her as soon as possible," he said.
"Probably Viridian City," said Tiki, "The Pokémon League games going to be over soon and everyone's going to go there."
"Thanks you guys," said Darian, smiling. "I'll go pack my things. Catch you on the flip side!" He walked out the room.
re: by Pipian
"Let's see..."
He released his 6 Pokémon. The floor bent. He took off their headbands.
"OK...Oddly...Jynx...Haunter...Iiryu...Kadabra...Jon...Who do I have in store? Volt...Lucky...Pyro...Cotten...Windows... OK...I think I'll take...Kadabra, Oddly, Iiryu, Cotten, Pyro, and Lucky."
He called his Pokémon back into his Pokéballs and then exchanged some for the others he wanted. Then he got an idea. He found some old circuit boards and electronics in his room and quickly conjured up some little devices and coded a little something in his computer.
"These ought to help things for later."
He then gathered some items into his backpack and got ready to go off. Before he left his room, he quickly flamed a health food store. No one knew why he did that. He just did.
"Tiki?" said Pipian.
"Yeah?" said Tiki.
"Here. This might come in handy."
"What is it?"
"Oh, it's a slight improvement of the tracking program we were working on. These little handheld devices can send signals on the pokeball transfer frequency to my computer. Anyone can use this little gadget to find the others."
"So? That doesn't sound very different."
"Ah! But here's the beauty of it. It can plug into a Pokédex (if you want) to identify what pokemon the other person has, and it also can use either the Pokédex's built-in microphone, or a separate one to send a message to anyone!"
"Great!"
"Well, before you leave, could you give these ones to the others? This'll really help when it comes to coming back together again. Make sure you enter your correct name."
"Sure. You're leaving now?"
"Yeah. Nothing against you, but I have different places to go and see. Maybe you might meet me (by accident) and we might go on together."
"Well, OK."
"Tell everyone bye for me, will yaw?"
"Sure."
"OK, Bye."
With that, Pipian left the HQ and began to work his way eastward to the Rock Tunnel.

John entered the Gym and saw Misty feeding her Horsea. "Hey, Misty, how are you?"
Misty was so surprised she fell into the pool. Resurfacing, she got back on dry land and smacked John with a slap.
"Next time, please knock. And also, it's good to see you again! What happened that caused your disappearance? It's not like you to go without telling your friends."
"I wasn't myself for a while, sort of an out-of-mind experience. Anyways, are you up to a little challenge, Ariel and Starmie?"
Misty's eyes burned with fire. "You bet I am! any specific challenge? Battle? Challenge?"
"Let's go for a challenge. You got the targets?"
"Ash! Get your lazy butt over here!" Ash Ketchum ran over. Well, a look-alike came over.
"What's with the imitation?"
"I still havn't gotten over his inability to repay me for my bike, so I got this lookalike to take his place as a punching bag. He's the target."
John raised one eyebrow, then brought out Ariel. Misty sent out Starmie.
"Okay! Whoever can hit him the most time in twenty seconds wins the first round! Starmie, Water Gun!"
"Ash" started dodging like crazy as Starmie zipped around the gym, sending blasts of water at him. Occasionally, it would hit him squre in whatever body part was closest, a point that occasionally made John cringe. Finally, the twenty seconds was up.
"Judges?" asked Misty. A 10 appeared on a screen.
"10 times! Beat that, Mickey!"
Ariel leaped onto the starting gate. At the bell, she started with a Water Gun, knocking 'Ash' off his feet. With him down Ariel snagged a few more guns in the first five seconds. If he tried to escape she would use the pool as a cutoff point and soak him again.
"Time! Judges?" A 15 appeared. Misty facefaulted. "Well, you won this one, but next is skeet-shooting. this time, there's no human error."
The two Pokémon leaped into the pool and floated there, awaiting orders. Finally, a small skeet appeared. "Water Gun!" shouted Misty. Starmie launched the blast, smashing the skeet. Ariel was next, and the skeet went down quickly. Finally, they had each smashed two skeets. This time, it was both Pokémon and one skeet. The skeet flew. "Starmie, water Gun!" The blast flew, and the Starmie made it one-all.
"Now, a race though my special pool!" Misty hit a switch and rings popped up all over the pool. She explained. Both Pokémon had to follow the arrows and make it through each hoop. A Pokémon could not continue until it went throug the hoop, so an error could cost the race. Ariel and Starmie awaited at the starting line while Misty brought out a popgun.
"Ready...set...and...go!" She pulled the trigger, and a small pop bounced across the Gym, startling Togepi. The little egg dashed through the Gym, going through the exact same course as the racers. In fact, the egg was so scared, it overcame the racers and was the first to finish the race. "The winner is.. Togepi!" Misty and John facefaulted.
The real racers were neck-to-appendage, neither getting ahead of the other. They left the pool, zooming across the wet areas. when they leaped through the last hoop leading to the water, a sudden whirlpool appeared. "Oh no!" Both yelled. Ariel and Starmie hit the water and were suddenly filled with a Thunderbolt. A net came out and snagged the two. John knew it had to be Team Rocket!
"Great! That's all I need. Misty, you got Psyduck?"
"No. That dumb duck ate one too many fruits and is at the Pokécenter with a stomachache! Oh, how I wish he would evolve!" The two TR agents leaped out of hiding and released a farsome group of Pokémon. Kangaskahn, Scyther, Pinsir, Golem... John was a little worried. John sent out Jackie and his Tauros, and Spark as well. Misty sent out Staryu, but she was not exactly ready for this.
"Tauros, Stomp! Jackie, Rolling kick! Spark, Bite!"
His Pokémon charged, but at the last second bounced off a strange wall. Two of the four figures popped out. A Mr. Mime and a Kadabra!
"Crap! The team's getting stronger! and Jenny's never around when you need them!" A sudden Confusion sent all his Pokémon against the wall, John and Misty as well. John slowly got up and glanced in Misty's direction. The Leader was out cold.
"I don't like this at all," he thought, sweat dripping down his face.

Tyger was just coming back from a shocking experience, after trying to catch a Pikachu that turned out to belong to Ash Ketchum. Dejected and hoping for sympathy from his only love, Misty, he was on his way to the Gym. As he reached the entrance, he heard a crash from inside.
"Great, another emergency! Mystery, Splash, Aussie, come on!" With a flash of opening Pokéballs, Tyger and Co. ran inside to see the ensuing battle.
"Lovely, some bozo's attacking the Gym! Mystery, let loose with Metronome, and make it good! Aussie, I need you to take out that Mr. Mime." Both Pokémon let loose with their attacks while Tyger picked up his flopping Magikarp.
"Here goes something. FISH MISSILE!" The Magikarp went flying through the air, unblocked due to the Bonemerang distraction on the Mr. Mime provided by Aussie. It struck the Kadabra square in the face, sending it flying through the wall, while Splash...well, splashed into the pool and sank. Mystery's Metronome attack went wild, spraying Razor leaves throught the room... Meanwhile, the water where Splash fell began to boil and churn...and then to glow...
re: by syke108
In the middle of being pelted with sharp leaves, John saw the whirlpool and immediately knew what was going to happen. "Crap! All we need now is a Gyarados! I don't even know who this newcomer is working for!"
The water continued to churn, and soon 518 pounds of Pokémon fury came crashing out of the pool. The Team Rocket members had been caught of guard by Tyger's attack and had lost their psychic shield when the Pokémon were hit with the Razor Leaf attack. Now, Tyger's new Gyarados slapped the Kadabra with its tail, then clamped down on the Mr. mime and tossed it into a wall. Before the unknown TR members could escape, it tore up their vehicle, gnashing and crashing with all its strength. John flipped to the side just in time to avoid a piece of machinery that was looking to make contact with his head.
"Damn! That Gyarados is starting to go out of control!"
Sure enough, Tyger's Gyarados started thrashing wildly, even after the Team Rocket members were conveniently tossed to the police HQ. John called out to the stranger.
"Your Gyarados is out of control! We gotta stop it!"
Tyger nodded. "Mystery, we need another Metronome, and bring it all down on Splash!"
John brought out Tara, Wraps, Jackie, Weezbag and Spark and had them attack. Drill Peck, Absorb, Mega Kick, Smog and Thundershock were brought down on Splash. Finally, Mystery leaped onto Splash and proceeded to Explode, firmly fainting Splash. Tyger recalled the Gyarados, and rushed to assist his true love, who had finally begun to wake up from her state of unconciousness.
"W-what happened? Ack! Get away from me!" She proceeded to flatten Tyger with a kick, then picked up Togepi, recalled Starmie and walked away angrily, taking a second to call a clean-up crew. John sweatdropped, then applied a Revive to his fainted Vaporeon. Ariel leaped up and curled into your basic Vaporeon sitting stance, and the two regarded Tyger. John's tail twitched as he looked at the stranger.
"So, can you speak or what? What's your name and where did you come from?"
re: by Shining Tiger
Groaning and rubbing the footprint off his face, Tyger slowly got to his feet. Mystery the Clefairy was standing protectively at his feet, while Aussie the Cubone was trying desperately not to get wet.
"I could ask you the same thing. My name is Tyger Wolfe, and I come from the forest outside Pewter City. I..." Whatever Tyger was about to say was lost as he noticed Misty standing there holding Togepi. His speech turned into senseless babbling and then totally clamming up...that is, until the *real* Ash walked in.
Misty turned to see who *else* was coming into the Gym, and gave Ash a dark look. "Ready to repay me for my broken bike yet?" Ash sweatdropped.
"Misty, you know I don't have the money yet...not until I fianlly win against a League's Elite." Misty turned away in a huff. Then over to Tyger.
"Well, whoever you are, you did prove what kind of trainer you are. I assume you were coming for a Badge?" Tyger nodded dumbly, and Misty tossed him a Cascade Badge. Ash looked on jealously, then stormed out. Misty went over to see if Horsea and Goldeen were alright, leaving John and Tyger alone. Tyger quickly recovered after Misty was out of sight.
"Well...maybe I have a chance after all..." he muttered to himself.
re: by suke108
John, his tail still twitching, did his best to make sense of Tyger's babbling. "So you're name is Tyger Wolfe, and I see that you're on a Pokémon journey and you have a big crush on Misty. I'd give up on your second goal in life. Misty's simply too much of a tomboy."
Suddenly, Misty came out of nowhere and smashed John with a hammer. John flew across the Gym, slammed facefirst into the wall, and slid down. Tyger cringed.
"I am NOT a tomboy!" screamed Misty, still holding the hammer. "I simply havn't found the right man yet." She noticed Tyger back in a state of passion, then slammed him with the hammer as well. Tyger hit the wall in a fashion similar to John. "And you're not the right one either, stranger!" Then she stormed after Ash, who was still making lame excuses such as not having the money, which is wierd since in PW! he's the League Master. Oh, well, a cheapskate can't be changed.
John peeled himself off the wall, then picked up tyger, who brushed off the dust. Mystery, his Clefairy, had ran to his shoulder and was patting it, sort of an "are you alright?" gesture.
"Before our untimely interruption, I was about to tell you that my name is John Laramie, and the Vaporeon is named Ariel." Tyger shook john's hand.
"Laramie? Same as the Ranch?"
"The same. I left on my own Journey, and now temporarily reside in Cerulean as a part of a detective agency. however, we're currently disbanding temporarily, as an incident with amnesia and brainwashing caused total stress. So now, I have nothing to do except train my Pokémon. so, what are you planning to do? Is this journey your basic Pokémon Master deal, or do you have a special plan of your own?"
