The phone rings.  “Yes.”
    “He has the manuscript sir.”
    “Hmm, I knew he would.”
    “What should I do about it sir?”
    “You have your instructions.”
    “Where do I take them to?”
    “Bring them here.”
    “Right sir.”
    He hangs up the phone.  “Soon my pet.  Soon it will be ours.”  He strokes his Persian’s fur gently.  “Soon I’ll have the most rarest pokémon on the planet.”

[Scene Switch - Icy’s Bug Gym]

    “This is truly an amazing discovery Lewis.”
    “Yeah.  I wonder if all pokémon from Saffron have the ability to use psychic attacks.”
    “Maybe.”
    Nicky and Kelly were sitting together talking.  “Soooo, Kelly, you really like Eevees huh?”
    Kelly smiled.  “Yeah.  I think they are the cutest pokémon in the world!”
    “That’s cool.”
    “What’s your favorite pokémon Nicky?  Which pokémon do you love most?”
    “I know what he loves most, hehehe, OWWW!”  Bulba rubs his head after Nicky’s fist make contact with it.
    “Eheheheh, what a silly pokémon.  Come to think of it, I don’t know what pokémon I love most.”
    “Well, that’s ok.”
    Meanwhile, Lewis is busy playing hide and seek with his new baby Jigglypuff.
    “Pikaboo!”
    “Jiggy jiggy jiggy!”  His young pokémon giggles, rocking back and forth.
    “Awww, it’s so cute!”
    “So guys, what are we doing today?”
    “I don’t have a class today, so I’m free,” Sara said.
    “I don’t really have anything I’m doing,” Nicky added.
    “I’m not busy,” Kelly answered.
    “Don’t forget me!” Meeko finished.
    “Ok, so, back to the original question, what are we doing today?”
    Just then, the phone rang.
    “Hello, Icy speaking.”
    “Icy, good to talk to you.  This is Prof. Oak.  I’ve uncovered a great discovery.  It has to deal with a frozen Caterpie that could be many centuries old.  Would you be interested in helping me in my research of it?  You are one of the most respected names in Caterpies.”
    “Would I!  Of course I would professor.  Hey, can my friends here help too, we’ve got nothing else to do today.  Please.”
    “Oh all right.  But be careful.  Team Rocket has been causing a lot of mischief in your area lately.”
    “Yeah, we know.”  Meeko could only nod.  “We’ll be right over.”
    Oak hung up the phone.  “Loki, come here please.”
    “Ditto.”  Loki came to its master’s side.
    “Loki, this is very important.  This manuscript must get to Icy and his friends no matter what.  Team Rocket may be headed this way I fear.  If they take me, I want you to hide until Icy arrives.  Give him the manuscript then.  Do you understand?”
    “Ditto ditto.”  Loki nodded and took the manuscript.  He hid himself in a back room.  Oak had created a duplicate of the manuscript just in case Team Rocket tried something.  He had done so wisely.
    The doorbell rang.  “Hold on, I’m coming.”  Oak opens the door.  “Yes, can I help you with something?”
    “Yes, you can.”  The two agents grab Oak’s arms and escort him to a car waiting outside.  “You are needed to assist Giovanni and Team Rocket.”  Another agent went inside the lab and stole the document.  The three agents and Oak got into the car and drove off.
    “What is the meaning of this?”
    “You are going to make Team Rocket very happy or you can kiss you worthless life goodbye.”
    “Well, when you put it that way…”
    They continue driving off towards Team Rocket headquarters outside Pallet Town.

    Lewis picked up Jigglypuff.  “We should get going.” Lewis says.
    “Well, we should pack some supplies, we might be gone for a while,” Meeko said.
    “Good idea.  Let’s get our stuff together.” Sara says.
    Lewis bounded to his guest room and took out all his pokéballs and commanded his pokémon to come out, and explained to them the events that had happened.  “Well, what do you think we’ll need?” Lewis asked.  Of course, the Pokémon replied in poketalk, and Lewis couldn’t understand one word of it.  “Oooook, back in the balls now.” Lewis says, recalling his Pokémon.  Charmander and Jigglypuff remained out of course.  After that, he rushes back to the main room, everyone waiting for him.
    “Shall we be going?” Kelly asks.
    “One more thing!” Lewis says.  He rushes over to the kitchen and grabs a several tea bags.  “I always drink tea on adventures!” Lewis says.  Lewis picked up Jigglypuff in his arms, and Charmander followed behind.  “Let’s go!” Lewis says, nuzzling Jigglypuff.
    “On the road to Pallet Town, that place brings some good and bad memories....” Meeko said to herself, Caterpie never really understood why she was sad that day, but, he had to cheer her up again this time, ( We’ll play lots of games Meeko, you don’t worry, I’ll protect you! )
    “Thanks Caterpie, but what I’m afraid of isn’t something like that....” Caterpie, now more confused than ever, just went along with it.
    “Jiggly, puff puff jiggly!” Meeko’s Jigglypuff was sitting on Lewis’s shoulder to be near the newborn Jigglypuff.
    “This little baby is so cute!” Lewis said, for the thousandth’s time.
    ( Yes Lewis, you said that for the last, uh, since it was born time.... ) Bulba remarked, Lewis psychically brought Bulba into the air and bonked his head in a small bush.
    ( Ooooooow! ) Bulba holds his head.
    ( He had that one coming! ) Meeko’s Pikachu told Lewis’s Charmander, Charmander laughed.
    ( You wanna battle against Meeko to see how strong you are? Huh? Huh? She’s whipped, uh, many, uh, trainers, like, uh, you! ) Bulba says.
    “Uh, Meeko, your Bulbasaur wants you to battle me, do you want to battle? Meeko? Meeko? Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekoooooooooooooooo?”
    “Huh? Wha-? Sorry, I was, uh, daydreaming.....”
    “What’s been the matter with you Meeko? Ever since we left you haven’t been the same.”
    “Uh, nothing, nothing at all, I just haven’t been feeling very well.” Meeko kind of lies, she doesn’t want to worry other people with her troubles.
    “Uh, yeah, I guess I’ll battle you, prepare to lose, for it’s Caterpie I chose!” Caterpie creeps out.
    “Nice battle phrase, but it will get you nowhere for I chose, Bulba- Weedle? Oh, alright, you know Psybeam.”
    “Jump! Jump Caterpie! Jump!” Meeko yells.
    “Weedle, use Horn Drill!” but it was too late, Caterpie had leapt onto Weedle’s head, Weedle pulls back and tries to sting Caterpie, but Caterpie’s way too fast.
    “String shot!” Meeko and Lewis both yell.
    WREEEEEEEE!
    WEEEEEEEDLE! The two bugs yell, as they both get covered in silk, “Weedle, Psybeam! Weedle, I said Psybeam! Why won’t it work? Return...” Lewis says, Meeko runs over and takes some of the silk off.
    “Prepare to lose, for it’s Bulba I chose!”
    “Go Lickitung!”
    “Bulba, Solar Beam!”
    “Lickitung, bounce it away with your tongue!” it bounced off onto Bulba, “Yea! Huh? What’s Bulba doing?” Bulba got back up and started glowing, the bulb opened up into a flower, a stalk grew, and Bulba grew bigger, IVYSAUR!
    “Oh wow! Bulba evolved! Now I’ll call you, Ivysore!”
    “Prepare-”Meeko was interrupted by someone continuing the thing the wrong way, “For trouble, and make that more than double! Boy, what a stupid poem they had!” TR appeared.
    “Prepare to lose, for it’s all my Pokémon I chose!” Meeko yells.
    “Go all!” Lewis yells.
    “Ready to fight! Come in sight! Icy calls, Buttercup!”
    “Attack!” Team Rocket yells, their Pokémon form.
    “{ Gulp } Those are some tough Pokémon!” Meeko backs up a bit.
    The Rocket member who Lewis had already recognized, had sent out a massive Onix!  The other, another who Lewis recognized, had sent out a Hypno.  “Nice to see you again!” Lewis says.
    The two immediately looked at Lewis and shouted, “YOU!”
    “You know them, Lewis?” Kelly asks, holding her Eevees.
    “Of course.  We’re old pals from Saffron City!  I thought you guys retired after Sabrina and I cleared you out of the Silph Co.” Lewis replies.
    “Team Rocket never accepts defeat!   And you’ll never get the Frosterpie!  Onix, slam them all!” one of them says.  Onix begins to fall down to slam them, when a tongue reaches up and touches Onix’s face!  Everyone sees Lewis’s Lickitung holding Onix up, and Lickitung pushes Onix away.
    “Buttercup!  Psybeam Hypno!” Icy shouts.  Buttercup fires its psybeam, but it’s reflected from Hypno!
    “Hypno must be using reflect attack.  Return, Lickitung!  Bulbasaur go!” Lewis shouts.  Bulbasaur comes out of its pokéball, and Lewis shouts, “Razor leaf now!”  Bulbasaur launches several leaves, which also bounce off!  “Return, Bulbasaur.  Charmander go!” Lewis shouts. Charmander jumps up, and fires flamethrower!  It fried Hypno, who falls to the ground.
    “Hypno return!  We’re blasting off now!” the Team Rocket member shouts, recalling Hypno.
    Lewis then looks at the horizon.  “Hey!  Route 1 is just over that way!  Let’s go!” Lewis shouts.
    “Jiggly!  Puff puff!” Lewis’s Jigglypuff shouts.

    As our group heads out of the Viridian Forest into Viridian City, Team Rocket retreats back to their base.  Our heroes are unaware however of Team Rocket’s plans for searching for Frosterpie.  They finally get to the end of the forest and enter the city.
    “Well, I’m sure glad that’s over.  Those guys were really mean.”
    “Don’t worry Kelly, we won’t let them hurt you or your Eevees.”
    “Thanks Icy.”  Our heroes don’t need to make any stops in town, so they decide to just pass through.
    “So Icy, what exactly did Prof. Oak tell you about this Frosterpie?”
    “Not much.  Just that he has a document that tells where to find it.”
    “I’m hungry, can’t we stop to eat?” asks Kelly.
    “No, let’s get to Prof. Oak’s first.  He’ll have food there,” Nicky answers.
    “I don’t know if eating Prof. Oak’s cooking is good for us…  Maybe we should stop in the local diner real quick.”  The group decides to eat at the local diner and then resume their journey to Pallet Town.

    “Hmm hmm hmm…”
    “You’ll never get away with this.  I’ll never help you.”
    “Oh you will professor.  You will.”
    “Unlikely.”
    “Silence.  If you want your precious lab to stay in one piece and unharmed, you will help us.”
    “You wouldn’t.  You can’t.  Those pokémon are innocent.”
    “See what I care.  Make your choice.”
-=( Back to our heroes )=-
    “Hey look!”  Everyone gazes into the distance, but they see nothing.
    “What is it Icy?”
    “No, over there.”  Icy points towards a tall building up on a hillside.  “It’s Professor Oak’s Lab!”  They all rush towards the lab.  Icy and Sara suddenly stop for a sec.
    “Ohhh…,” Icy moans, falling to his knees.  Sara drops too.
    “Huh?  What’s wrong?”  Icy and Sara both look at each other.  They were breathing faster than normal.
    “Icy, are you ok?”  Nicky and Kelly run to their aid.
    Icy wipes the sweat off his head.  “Ohh…  I think so…  I don’t know what happened…  Sara, are you ok?”
    “I think.  That was strange.  I saw…”
    “Yeah, I saw it too…”
    “Saw what?”
    “Nothing…  It’s nothing,” they replied in unison.
    Icy and Sara recover their stamina and everyone continues up the walkway.  They knock on the door.
    “Hello,” says a butler in a squeaky voice.
    “Umm, hi, is Prof. Oak in?”  The butler pauses.
    “You Icy?”
    “Yes.”
    “Come this way.”  Loki leads Icy and the group into a back room.  “Oak said run tape.  Will explain.”  Loki puts a videodisk into the video machine.  A picture of Oak appears.
    “Greetings Icy.  If you are hearing this message, then something has gone wrong.  Loki, my assistant Ditto, has been instructed to aid you in my absence.  Icy, Frosterpie has much more meaning than just being an ancient frozen bug.  Something in the document speaks of a great power.  This Frosterpie may lead us to that power.  Loki, please instruct Icy further now.  Good journey to you.”  The video went blank.
    “I Loki.  Ditto of Oak.  Oak kidnapped by Rockets.  He give Loki copy of document for you.  Loki give Icy document now.  Wait.”  Loki produces the copy of the manuscript and hands it to Icy.  “You rescue Oak from Rockets now.  They take Oak to Pallet HQ.  You go now.”
    “Thank you Loki.  Don’t worry about Oak.  We’ll get him back.”  With that, our heroes leave the pokémon lab and begin searching for Team Rocket’s Pallet Town HQ’s.

    And so ends Part I of The Legend of Frosterpie.  But what dangers and adventures lie in store for our heroes next?  And what’s wrong with Icy and Sara?  All these questions and more will be answered on the next, PokéWars!
