Slowly we see an evil and wretched figure sneak towards the green light. He snatches up the glowing orb! Oh, what evil will become of this! .......... As we see him chuckle cleverly he is rubbing the thing with a maniacal look to his eye...... </div> <div> Lucurie's Legend!...............<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Melinie was on her way to the circus that had just arrived in town. She was a 13 year old, short haired, blond. (she was very clever in fact!) She did not believe in violence unless it was self-defense. That is why she had no pokémon, for she rehabilitated them all and let them go. As, she stepped in to the circus she saw a horrible seen, a lucur was balancing on a ball as it was whipped by the ring master who was shouting madly " Ha, Ha, Ha! Faster, faster I tell you, now!" There was something peculiar about this lucur, most lucurs have a crab claw around each hand and a dinosaur shaped body with lobster plates covering the whole body and two shark like fins where the wing s will be when they evolve. Though, this one was much harder plated and the plates alternated between blue-green and green, instead of pink. It seemed like the whipping was having no effect on him but the mental effect was making him cry! Melinie could not stand for such cruelty to a pokémon, then she thought to her self " I must stop this evil man!" She had accidentally arrived early, so no one was around to sea calm little Melinie shout "stop villain!" </div> <div> She then tossed her prized hm3 to the lucur and he learned it right away. Lucur smiled a vengeful smile and used to sweep the ringmaster in to the stands, knocking him out instantly. The little lucur seemed horrified at what he'd done, Melinie knew they would be great friends. Unfortunately the sound of the thick headed ringmaster hitting the stands aroused the other circus performers, who were so angry with lucur and Melinie that they attacked! </div> <div> OH, what will happen to our newfound friends? Find out in chapter II! </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> BY,<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> boper9<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
