Night Terror
Warning not so much for the first few chapters, but certainly for the third and onwards. It was about then I stopped making it for a forum specific audience. OK, before the fic, a bit of history. Unless you are a chat veteran, you will not know the full details of this fic. It started off as a one off joke, something i made on a whim, based on some fun stuff I'd written in college. It was well received so I did another chapter, and then another. They were all posted on the forums, until the third chapter caused controversy when it involved BMG. After that it was taken off the fourms and continued in the chat. I don't write this often, it's just something fun. Most of the chat members want to read it again, and Serebii has said there's no problem posting this again.
So a basic warning first. This fic was written by ME, and ME alone, for the comedy benefit of the chat members. Anything that occurs within the fic is of MY writing, and not influenced by Serebii. So it cannot and will not be used in any form of a power struggle or forum war. If anyone has issues with it, come to me, or don't read the fic.
CHAPTER ONE
One quiet night in the confines of his own home, Joe Merrick, who shall henceforth be known as the illustrious SPP, came across a most interesting website, filled with flashing colours, wonderfully drawn images of all his favourite pokemon, deep written rants, but most importantly
"Those are my pictures!"
That's right, in a fit of final unadulterated rage, SPP picked up the nearest shoe and continued to dap his computer to death with the floppy end of the sole. The unprovoked shoe attack didn't prevail, so the annoyed webmaster picked up a more heavy duty baseball bat, something that happened to be lying on his desk at the time, and finished smashing his computer to pieces. Aware that destroying his own computer isn't going to solve everything, the enraged owner of Serebii.net storms out of his house and takes to the streets, determined to seek out each and every pokemon site owner in the world, and burn them to the ground. If he were a mad man of some kind, he would by now be spouting nonsense about how no one can stop him.
"Now, no one can stop me!"
Well. He'd be right of course, if he hadn't left his web cam on while he was smashing his computer. Elsewhere, the washing powder named one Daz, more commonly known as Pipikachu, saw the whole thing, up to the point the camera got mushed. Fearing the worst, and for his own life, he logged on to the SPP chat and immediately began tracing people's phone numbers.
"Dan, is that you?"
Dan, the happily named PorygonX groaned, rolling back on his wheelie chair, pushing the door shut and going back to the phone.
"Yes, who is this?"
"It's Daz. Look this is an emergency!"
"What.. Daz? Who.. what.. how did you get this number?"
There was a short pause on the other end of the line.
"I used a combination of mIRC, KaZaA and a calculator to trace your IP though the phone line and get your home number."
"Is that even possible?"
Another pause.
"No. But lets say it is and that it was very hard for me to pull off."
"Uh huh. What's the big emergency?"
"It's Joe. He's gone insane, he's finally flipped. He's going to kill every single pokemon website owner in the world, so no one steals his pics again."
PX pushed his glasses up and rubbed his eyes. "Is that all?"
"PX, you don't understand the enormous importance of what I'm telling you! If Joe succeeds, then his site will be the only pokemon site on the entire internet, it'll be filled with everybody who likes pokemon, every single noob, every moron, EVERYBODY! There'll be so many people visiting that the server will explode and there'll be NO pokemon sites on the net at all!"
"Right now, I think Iíd be more worried about owning a pokemon site and living near Joe."
There was another pause, followed by the swift noise of a phone being dropped to the floor. PX tapped the receiver but there was still noise on the other side. Banging, the sort of noise that follows when you board up a door with 2 inch ply wood and 4 inch nails. Then the phone was picked back up, the conversation resuming with a person panting on the other end.
"Often keep nails, hammers and ply wood in your room do you?" PX asked, still unfazed by what was going on.
"You'd be surprised how useful they can be."
"I don't want to know about your DIY fetishes thank you. What do you want to do about Joe?"
"I think we need to get everyone together. All the regulars from the channel, and we need to stop Joe before he carries out his mission. Do you have a calculator handy?"
"No."
"Have you even looked?"
"Not really. You want me to come up with some other way of contacting everyone?"
"Please. I have to warn grem, he's got a website too, so he's probably a prime target."
"Don't you both live like 300 miles away from Joe?"
"Yes, but you'd be surprised how fast he can move when he's determined."
"OK. I'll see what I can do."
PX hung up the phone and sighed. He pinched himself to check if he was dreaming, but on the revelation that the pinch damn well hurt, and that this wasn't a dream, he set off to scrounge some parts to build a beacon of some kind to alert everyone in the spp chat room.
Pipikachu rang through a number, one that he didn't have to perform a clearly impossible task to retrieve, since he'd been given it on a trip to London recently.
"Grem! Board up your windows, Joe is on a rampage!"
"I KNOW THAT! HE'S OUTSIDE MY HOUSE!"
"Sheesh grem, no need to shout!"
"THERE'S ALWAYS A REASON TO SHOUT! I.. Joe.."
Grem's voice turned to a muted whisper and the phone dropped to the floor, but didn't cut out. Daz held the receiver tightly and dared not let go. He listened closely to the conversation on the other end of the line.
"Grem, I didn't want to do this, but you've left me no choice." that was the voice of SPP, but it was rough, harsh and sounded like he needed at least 2 packs of Halls Soothers to make it sound right again. "It's come to this, Iím going to have to kill you."
"WHAT!? YOU CAN'T KILL ME!" grem screamed, but it was futile. A large clubbing sound, echoed through the phone line followed by a body slumping to the floor. For a long time there was silence, then it was broken by slight squeaking noises, a wet slice or two, a couple of slurps, then a large plop a few more wet slurps and a rip of selotape. Then another rip. Then another.
"Bloody hell, where's the end gone now?"
A few more rips and finally silence again. The phone as picked up and Daz became aware of heavy breathing at the other end.
"Joe..?" Pip asked quietly.
"Daz, I'm coming for you next."
The line went dead, and Daz became suddenly aware of the fact that he needed to change his underwear. He crossed his fingers, hoping that PX could come up with a way to gather the troops soon.
PX pushed his glasses up and rubbed his eyes for the thirteenth time in the last five minutes. In front of him sat a dismantled television set, two DVD players, cut neatly in half, a toaster with a CD drive plugged into one of the bread slots, three high power torches, a lamppost, a computer and keyboard, numerous bits of pieces of electrical equipment, some tools, lots of tin foil and a cup of tea. Two sugars, a little milk. He picked up the DVD player and plugged it into one of the high powered torches, giving the light that sharp finish that you only get with the highest quality of DVD players, and a fine sound that can be appreciated by anyone, had torches made sound that is.
A few minutes later, everything was plugged into everything else. The computer was up and running and logging onto mIRC, while the torch was pointing into space. mIRC flicked up and connected to the server then onto the #spp chat room.
* Now talking in #spp
* Topic is '(-o-)(-o-)(-o-)(-o-)(-o-)(-o-) --> I am on a secret mission. You will not hear from me or see me until it is complete. I bid you all farewell. PS, if you own a pokemon site, please tell me.

<Yami_Ryu> Does anyone else see a big beam of light, with a badly drawn Celebi in the middle?
<Lady_Dragoneye> Oddly enough, yes. One of the arms is too long.
<PorygonX> Can you not criticize my drawings please? This is a state of emergency!
<Shingo`> It's got three legs!
<PorygonX> My point is that Joe has gone insane.
<Shingo`> Gone? He's always been insane. Like this little mission he's gone on. New Star Trek DVD's out are there?
<PorygonX> No. He's going to brutally murder every single pokemon site owner in the world, so his reigns supreme.
<Dratini927> XD
<PorygonX> I'm serious you bum! See Pip's nick? That's because he's just heard grem being murdered down the phone
<Dratini927>
<Pip-Fearing-for-life> He's telling the truth. Dan is that beacon your doing?
<PorygonX> Yes. It's like the batman beacon, only less effective. We don't have a theme tune yet.

<SerebiiPP> How about, "If you try to stop me, Iíll kill you all"?
<Pip-Fearing-for-life> Ahh! Joe!! How did you get on!?
<SerebiiPP> I have my ways. Daz, Iím coming for you, I wont be long. Don't try and resist like grem did. It'll only hurt more.
* SerebiiPP (webmaster@serebii.net) has left #spp
<PorygonX> NOW, do you see what I mean?
<Lady_Dragoneye> OK, but what can we do, we're all over the world.
<PorygonX> It's very simple. I have devised a machine that will automatically transport you through your phone lines to a designated meeting area, aka Pip's back garden, all you have to do is PM TranstoasterBot and tell it "beam me up"
* TranstoasterBot (TranstoasterBot@Toast.net) has joined #spp
<TranstoasterBot> Well hey there folks, glad to meet you all and I can't wait to serve you up a nice buttery slice of warmed bread.
<Dratini927> I thought you said it was a bot.
<PorygonX> There was an unexpected mix up when I built the transtoaster device, and it gained a personality from all the characters on one of the DVD's that got lodged in its slot.
<PorygonX> Daz, I need you to put a toaster in your garden, so everyone can get there.
<Shingo`> Are you serious?
<PorygonX> Why wouldn't I be?
<Shingo`> I've always had a fear of getting stuck in a toaster and being over warmed.
<PorygonX> This toaster doesn't cook that high. You may feel slightly warmer when you get out the other end though.
* Lady_Dragoneye PM's the bot
<TranstoasterBot> Well sure Lady_Dragoneye, you just pot right along there and I'll have you buttered up right away
* Lady_Dragoneye (libby@ec-1A46F2F9.access.clara.net) has left #spp (Transtoastation!)
<Pip-Fearing-for-life> Hey, a slightly singed girl just jumped out of the toaster in my garden!
* Dratini927 (Mattini@ec-6137915.oc.oc.cox.net) has left #spp (Transtoastation!)
<Pip-Fearing-for-life> Hey, now Matt has popped out too.
<PorygonX> Great! If everyone can follow suit we'll be able to get Pip to safety and stop Joe before he causes any more damage. I'll set the bot too transcript everything that's happened to anyone who joins the room so they can catch up with us. We'll take the toaster if we go anywhere.
<Pip-Fearing-for-life> Hey this is Sandra, Pip has lovely spiky hair. Come on everyone, it's not even raining!
* Quit (Transtoastation!)
PX suddenly became aware of three bright red strips of light and a strange buttery smell emanating from around him.
"Pip, you're meant to butter the bread AFTER you toast it!" he yelled, as he was thrown out of the toaster, landing on the grass with a thump.
"I prefer bagels."
"Well. Beggars can't be choosers. Have you boarded things up yet?"
"Most of it, but it donít help if I'm standing out here waiting for new arrivals."
"We don't have time to wait, we'll have to take the toaster and make a break for it."
"Why?"
"Because Iíve come to kill you now Pipikachu!"
Everybody gasped and turned to face, the voice of SPP, who stood at the garden gate, a chainsaw in one hand and a Big mac in the other.
"I expected you sooner, I should have guessed you'd stop for food first." Daz grumbled
"Yes, brain surgery is quite a tiring business." SPP grinned, eating the last few bites of his BigMac and tossing the rest of the container to the floor.
"Brain surgery?" Daz asked, before sudden realisation dawned on him "no.. you didn't.."
"I'd like you all to meet, grem."
From behind SPP came a slobbering beast, droll dripping from its mouth and its body hunched over in some kind of hideous Gollum copyright infringement.
"You took grem's brain out and turned him into your slave!" Yami Ryu yelled, but SPP continued to laugh.
"Not only that, but I assimilated grem's entire knowledge onto CD. Now I know everything that grem knew. But now, Pip, I have to kill you. You see I can't even allow Pikachu's Den to stay active, even if it is offline until 2004, I'm not taking any chances."
With a tug on the chain, the chainsaw began to rev, spinning at high speed, all Daz could do was back into a wall and pray for something to happen. PX picked up the toaster, it was rattling slightly. He aimed the slots at SPP and shouted..
"Hey Joe! Wadda'ya Know!"
In that spilt second of distraction SPP turned to look at PX, and from the toaster leaped Shingo` landing on top of the enraged webmaster and knocking him unconscious.
"Nice timing Shingo!" Lady_Dragoneye shouted, slapping him on the back
"Thanks, I think. Did I just land on SPP?"
"Yes, yes you did." she replied.
"Excellent."
"Look, good job Shingo, your fat arse has saved Pip, but we need to get out of here, before SPP wakes up." PX said, lending a hand to help Shingo onto his feet. "Pip, grab what you need, and lets get out of here now. I'll carry the toaster."
Pip dashed into his house and came out within a few seconds with a fully prepared camping bag, a packet of rations, and a laptop in a carry case with a small generator and a satellite dish modem.
"That was fast." Yami Ryu exclaimed.
"I wasn't going to sit around twiddling my thumbs while I waited for PX to build the Transtoaster, I had to change my underwear a few times, but I got things sorted out."
"Eww."
"Look, lets go, Joe's beginning to stir already" PX said, waving everyone out the garden, they ran off down the street to the questions of "My bum isn't that fat.. is it?" from Shingo.
A few minutes later, they were gone, and SPP finally came too.
"Grem.. grem can follow them. Smell them he can yes."
"Shut up grem. Pip can wait, his site is small and not yet online. I have bigger fish to fry, but first I need more equipment and a batter mode of transportation. First on my list, is an old friend. Archaic of BMG, you will be the next, to die."
