    Last time, Icy met his friend Mike's parents in Vermilion City. After
sleeping overnight at the pokécenter, he decides it would be a good idea to
catch a grass pokémon before heading for Digletts' Cave.

    Icy heads back to Route 6 in search of a grass type pokémon. "From what
I heard in Vermilion City, the Pewter City gym leader, Brock, is a
push-over. But if I can capture an Oddish, I can really make him look like
a fool!" Icy chuckles to himself as he walks through the dense grasses.
"Ooooddddish! Ooooddddish!" he cries out. No response. "Go Abra. Use
your psychic powers to find some Oddishes." Abra sleepily points in a
northerly direction toward a spring. "Abra, that's a spring. Why would an
Oddish hang out by a spring?" Icy is doubtful of Abra's sense of location
but then notices some grass swaying back and forth. He licks his finger and
puts it in the air. "Hmm.. No wind..." He slowly approaches the grass
near the spring and suddenly, about 20 Oddishes jump out of grass. "Aghh!!!
Abra, confusion attack NOW!!!" Abra fires a psyonic wave at a few of the
Oddishes confusing them. They begin attacking eachother while Icy and Abra,
well Abra just sits there with his eyes shut, just watch the different
colors of the powders and spores the Oddishes were using on eachother. One
Oddish, slightly larger than the rest of them, seems to be unaffected by the
other Oddishes attacks. "That one's mine! Go pokéball!" he says as he
throws the well-aimed pokéball at it. It captures the Oddish and floats
back into Icy's hands.
    "Yeeesssss! Boy is that Brock in for a surprise. He he he..." he
laughs. Then he notices all the Oddishes crying in pain. "Oh no, they
attacked eachother so much that they all got hurt bad." He snaps his
fingers as an idea comes to him. "I know! Abra, teleport the Oddishes into
the spring to wash the poisons off." Abra focuses his teleportation powers
on the group of Oddishes and in an instant, they vanish. Seconds later,
they reappear about 7 inches above the spring and plunge into the water
below. << SPLASH!!!! >> Icy watches hopefully as the Oddishes regain their
strength and start to play in the water. "Well Abra, you may not be a great
conversationalist, but at least you've got a great sense of humor! Let's
get going, it'll be dark soon." He waves goodbye to the group of soaked
Oddishes and heads back toward Vermilion City. Abra returns to his pokéball
and Icy decides the stop by the pokécenter to heal his new Oddish.
     While waiting for his Oddish to be healed, he thinks about why he
didn't want to evolve Abra. Icy had been lonely as a child and up until he
met Mike, Abra was his only true friend. But now, Abra was getting quite
boring and Icy could really use a friend he could talk to. "Mister,
hello... Wake up... HEY!!!" Nurse Joy's voice startles Icy as he
remembers why he was waiting in the first place. "Your Oddish is as good as
new! It's getting pretty late, you're welcome to stay the night." Icy nods
and Joy returns to her desk. Icy remains sitting on the bench, still trying
to decide what to do with his Abra. He slowly drifts off and falls asleep
as the sun sets over the water beyond the horizon. Tomorrow, he'll be ready
to set off for Digletts' Cave.
