| Pikachu, not at all shaken after the latest pika-napping attempt, made his next stop in the fascinating country of Egypt. We had hardly any time to visit the Pyramids of Giza, however, as Pikachu rushed us to the ancient temple of Karnak, where he gave another touching speech. This time, dressed in the traditional headress of the Pharaohs. I ran into Ash, who still had his face veiled to avoid recognization, after the performance. P.I: Ash, how are you feeling about Pikachu continuing the tour after two attempts at pika-napping? Ash: I'm a bit shaken, but everyone, all the security- everybody, had a meeting yesterday. They set up a "strategic layout" for watching Pikachu. This is supposed to help stop the pika-nappers if they try anything. Do I ever hope it works! Two pika-napping attempts! No wonder everyone around here is on edge! Good thing I'm staying calm! P.I: Right, Ash. Okay, I heard from a member of security yesterday that the threat can't be eliminated. What do you say to that? Ash: Uh . . . I agree, I guess. But Pikachu's as safe as he can be. (laughs) So long as the pika-nappers aren't smart enough to catch an Abra and use Teleport! P.I: We don't have Abra here, Ash. There is no Teleporting here. We're in Egypt, not Kanto, remember? Ash: Oh, right. Then we have no problems! Right? Right? P.I: Um . . . right . . . Thanks again Ash. Ash: Sure thing! |
