Previously,
Clan Caterpie, with friends Fire & Ice, flew to Celadon City. Icy won an
aerial stunt contest with his beefed up Porygon. The team in now in the Town
Square.
"Hey Random!" Shouted dozens of kids as the trainers discussed their plans in
the town square. Random would cooly nod in their direction or point to them or
wave a crotch-chop.
Icy and Toocold leaned over Porygon - who was becoming frighteningly high tech.
X was subtly counting his daggers when a group of girls walked by, checking him
out. X fumbled with his sleeves as they girls walked by giggling. Random
slapped his forehead. Ivysaur hid his head under his hooves (hooves? hooves.).
"X - Come with me." Random put his hand on X's black shirt. Not flinching, X
was reluctant to follow Random. Random tugged on X's cap until he followed.
The elder Caterpist showed X a small shack near the Celadon Department Store.
Random opened the creaky door, revealing steps. They proceeded to descend the
steps.
"This!" Random held his hand out, "This is the Celadon Underground!"
The dimly lit hall was filled with graffiti and posters. X looked over his
shoulder several times, only to notice punks vomiting in the corners. The
bartender looked up from his spot, "Random! How's it hangin???" The man wiped
his hands and shook Random's hands tightly.
"Good Spitz! How's the music?" Random politely inquired to the fat, older
man.
"Weak man... check out these guys..." Spitz pointed to the pile of hair
onstage.
"HAHAHA! Anyway, this is my friend, X. X: this is Spitz - the denmother of the
Celadon Underground." X tipped his hat to the man.
"Wanna drink?" Spitz inquired.
Random waved, yes. X was about to protest; but Random assured X that these
weren't alchoholic drinks. The boys grabbed the drinks and bid Spitz farewell.
They walked down to the tabled area - just as the hair band finished the set.
"X," Random said, sitting down at a close table, "you don't see much action
in
the way of the ladies, do you?" Random was kind in his inquiry.
"Well, um.... no." X wasn't really shy though, just private.
"I see.." Random sighed and slammed his fist on the table, "You gotta get
out
there man!" Random pointed his hand into the crowd; there were many
good-looking, older women. Many had already noticed Random.
"I don't think so..." X was almost bitter in his response. "I don't really
have time for a relationship."
"Who said anything about a relationship." Random knew he sounded like a
jackass. "Here..." Random shouted to the corner, "Hey Ashley! C'mere!"
The tall girl of about 16 years walked over to Random. "Hey R."
"Hey Ashley - meet my friend, X." X stood up to formally announce himself.
"X? Is that what people call you?" Ashley asked with a bit of an attitude.
"Yes. X. Call me X." X rambled.
Random stood up and grabbed X's cap. X grabbed his hand before Random could
remove it. Random calmed X and took the cap - the hall was dimly-lighted, so
X's face was still unrevealed, but he was wearing a black bandana.
"So... X. You are a friend of Random's?"
"We are... acquaintances." X noticed Ivan, Random's Ivysaur was wandering
around the club alone. Everyone was friendly and petted the PokeMon.
"I'll be back - you two get to know each other." Random walked away to Spitz.
"So....."
"So....."
-------------------------
"Girlies and Guys..." the PA blasted, "The Underground is proud to welcome,
yet
again, Random!" The crowd erupted, Ashley and X looked up to the stage -
Random was dressed in all lowly rock glory - tattered clothes and a torn up
axe.
Random plucked the strings on the cherry-red Gibson SG guitar.
"This is for X - May he get some."
Random, and his backup band, began "Dream Weaver."
Random stepped up to the mic for the chorus, "dream weaver! I believe you can
get me thru the night!"
*Dream Eater - One of Gengar's most p--* Random reached into his pocket threw
the PokeDex offstage.
A drunk man got up from his seat at Spitz' bar and walked up to X and Ashley,
who were innocently dancing to the song.
"Hey bud. Lemme dance." The chubby man pushed X out of the way and into the
table. Ashley gasped.
Random was busy rocking out, X would have to handle this one...
