hee hee... a friend recently helped me become obsessed with Team Rocket, from the TV show Pokemon. and since my mind has weird ways of working, i came up with this little parody. = D enjoy, and watch out for flying punctuation marks. ; D Simba Meets Team Rocket By Tracie Cheetah Simba was enjoying a leisurely stroll through the pridelands, patrolling the border as the giant red sun rose over the tree scattered border. it was very quiet, and the only noise he heard whas the low braying of the wildebeest. "It's too quiet..." thought Simba to himself. "The Hyenas are usually out by the carcasses... and the cheetahs are usually finishing up their night hunts..." All of a sudden, he heard a loud rumbling, like a purr, but much louder, and much more disturbing. This frightened Simba, yet he stood his ground to see what beastly creature might be trying to invade his land. "Are you sure we'll find some Pokemon here, Jesse?" asked James. "Sure I'm sure." said Jesse, as she revved the motorcycle they were on. They heard a roar a ways in front of them, and Jesse stopped the motorcycle. "We'll sneak up on the little buggers." she said, snickering. Simba saw the grass rustling quietly, and he layed flat on the ground, tensing for a spring. He heard quiet whispering. "They must be cheetahs..." he assumed all too quickly. "I'd better get them out of the Pridelands..." He sprang out of the grass, and landed just a few feet in front of the "cheetahs", only to be even more surprised. "Look at the size of that Pokemon!" shouted James happily. "Its got to be at least a level 60!" "James!" shouted Jesse. "You DUNCE! Thats a LION!!! Not a Pokemon! Run!" They ran as far as they could, only to be followed by Simba. He made a mighty leap, and pounced them. "What are you doing in my pridelands!!!" he exclaimed angrily. "Mommy!!!!!" yelled James. "AAACCCKKK!!!" screamed Jesse. "It talks!!! It MUST be a Pokemon!" "But only Meowth can talk!" said a confused James. They were silenced by an ear shattering roar from the king. "I said, What are you doing in my pridelands?" "We came to get Pokemon! Don't eat us!" cried James. Simba tried not to laugh. He put on his serious face the best he could, and said "What is this Pokemon you speak of?" "Little creatures, that have special powers. They have to be caught, and trained." "These creatures are no threat to my Pridelands..." Simba thought to himself. He moved away from them, releasing them. Then he sat on his favorite rock. "You may go..." he began. "...but if I ever see you in my Pridelands again, you will become tasty snacks." He chuckled at his own joke. He watched them quickly run to their riding thing, and they sped off. Needless to say, Team Rocket never went near the Pridelands again, and they thought twice before taking a Pokemon that looked like a lion. "What odd little creatures..." thought Simba to himself, as he finished his morning patrol. "I must tell this to Nala and little Kiara..." He smirked, and walked back to Pride Rock, the red sun making his glossy golden coat shine. The End he he... well, i've got the "writing urge" out of me for a couple of days now. ; D hope you enjoyed, and didn't get hit by any of that flying punctuation. ; D Tracie =-===--==-; . ==== " ^--- flying punctuation. ; D == Tracie Cheetah Leader of Unofficial Rindimo Fan Club http://members.tripod.com/~luverofcatz/celebrity/rindimo.html I _AM_ The Eternal Optimist!!! = D Nukaholic, Scarholic, Ziraholic, and Vitaniholic _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
