Hi!  Second chapter in my chronicles of Tranum.  Hooray. 

I DO NOT OWN Pokemon!  The only thing I actually own is an addiction to 
Pokemon 
Yellow!  And three pennies.

Pi = 3.14159 or Marvin The Paranoid Squirtle
Tranum

"I think I'll pick…"
"Yes?"
"Ummmmm…"
"Just hurry up and pick one!" Cried Oak.
"Pika!" (Yeah!) Pi agreed.
"Um, alright, how about…"
*suspenseful silence*
"SQUIRTLE!!!"
"An excellent choice, Tranum"
And so, Tranum received his first *official* Pokemon.  
"And now, I suppose I had better get going…"
"Wait!  You need a Pokedex and some Pokeballs!"
" Oh yes, those… Can I go now?"
"Yes, you can."
"Ok then, bye"

Tranum left, feeling very excited.  He went straight back to his house.  He 
collected various 
Items from around the basement.  After he was finished, him and Pi ran a 
checklist
"CD player?"
"Ka!" (Check!)
"Cd collection?"
"Ka!"
"Cooking stuff?"
"Ka!"
"Potions, Burn heals, Ice heals, Paralyse heals, Awakenings?"
"Ka, ka, ka, ka, ka!"
"Fishing rod?"
"Ka!"
"Assorted books?"
"Ka"
"PokeGear?"
"Ka!"
"Poker gear?"
"Ka!"
"Nugget collection?"
"Ka!"
"Guitar?"
"Ka!"
"Notebook?"
"Ka!"
"Tent and sleeping bag?"
"Ka!"
"Wallet?"
Pi then picked Tranums pocket.  "Pika Pi Chu!" (Now you don't!)
"Hey!"
Pi gave back the wallet, rather reluctantly.
Suddenly, Squirtle burst out of his Pokeball. He and Pi began to have a brief 
conversation. 

*AUTHORS NOTE*~ From now on, all talk done by Pokemon shall be done normally, 
in 
English.  Why?  I'm too bloody lazy to type it out with translations any 
more.  So ha. ~

"How are you?" (Pi)
"What's it to you?"
"Well, I can ask, cant I?"
"I suppose you could, but in any case, why would anyone care?"
"Because you look like a nice Squirtle, who would make a good friend!"
"Its rather pointless"
"What is?"
"Trying to make friends with a pessimistic Squirtle!"
"JUST ANSWER THE BLOODY QUESTION!!!"
"Pretty good, for a pessimist."

Tranum understood every word of this, and immediately named Squirtle 
'Marvin'.
~If you don't get that joke, you must watch, or read, hitchhikers guide to 
the galaxy. ~
And so, with every thing sorted out, they trio set off, onto route one.

~TO BE CONTINUED!!! ~
Marvin, the paranoid Squirtle.

PREVIEW:  Setting off may seem like a good idea, but what happens if Tranum 
was born in 
early January?  The trio may just expand, whilst near the end, a new 
character (Or two!) 
(Possibly three!) will be introduced!  Tune in for part three of the 
Adventures of Tranum and Pi: 
To Catch an Evee!

to do the job.
"You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a 
Vogon airlock with a man 
from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really 
wish I'd listened to 
what my mother told me when I was young." 
[Ford Prefect:] "Why, what did she tell you?" 
[Arthur:] "I don't know, I didn't listen."
"Why do you need to think? Can't we just sit and go budumbudumbudum with our 
lips for a 
bit?"
"I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed."
