Pipian woke up that morning and checked his
e-mail.
"Ooh! Prof. Oak got back to
me!"
He began to read:
Dear Pipian:
It appears after closer inspection, to be a
pokémon storage file. You
must have gotten this from Bill, because he is the only person
who uses this
type of file besides me. It's a Porygon named Windows with
no trainer now.
It looks like it knows Tackle, Sharpen, Conversion, and
Psybeam. If you go
to Bill's Lighthouse, you should be able to pick up a
Poké-Transfer Module
for your computer. That should help you get it out of your
computer. By
the way, if you pick up the Porygon Computer Protocol Handbook,
you might be
able to program this Porygon.
Prof. Oak
"It looks like I've got to go to Bill's
today," said Pipian as he began
to jot down a note to inform his friends where he would be
going. He left
it on the table, picked up a few bucks to buy Breakfast at
McDitto's, and
left the Offices.
After an hour or so, Pipian arrived at Bill's
Lighthouse. He rang the
doorbell. The door opened.
"Oh! Hello! Who might you be?" asked
Bill.
"My name is Pipian, and I've come to ask
for a few things if you've got
them... Prof. Oak said you should have some of what I'm
looking for."
"Oh, well come on in!"
"OK"
Pipian walked in and took a seat.
"What is it that you might be
needing?"
"Well, it seems that when I picked up a
used computer at a store, it
just happened to be one you sold, possibly."
"Ah, yes, I remember selling one a few
weeks ago."
"It seems that there is an unowned
pokémon on it."
"Ooh! So you'll be needing a
Poké-Transfer Module then?"
"Yes, please. By the way, do you
have a Porygon Computer Protocol
Handbook?"
"Oh, sure! You are a programmer
then?"
"Well, not exactly, but I do program
during some of my free time."
"Oh! OK."
Bill scuttled off to pick up the things Pipian
asked for. After a few
minutes, he returned.
"Here's the stuff you asked for. By
the way, you look familiar. Have
you been here before?"
"Yes, I came with TAC, a few months
ago. TAC sort of metamorphisised
into the new Pokémon Detective Agency..."
"Ah. You work with them,
then?"
"Ah, I would, but I can't for a few
weeks."
"Why's that?"
Pipian pointed to his cast.
"Oh. Hey, you don't have any idea
what happened while you were here
with TAC last time, do you? I don't seem to remember what
happened..."
"Oh... Nothing... Well, I must be
off! Goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
Pipian left and started back for headquarters.
