Knight of RPGs
Bob and Bill, I think the warning about a random person having a weird afro is completely unessacary. We know its Miror B.
Thanks a lot. I do have a long way to go... thanks for the good luck wish.This version is twenty-million times funnier than the game will ever be. Keep up the good work, and good luck, this is a LONG game (to turn into a fan-fic anyway).
Thanks. I'm not sure I will deviate fromt he roiginal plot too much, but there will be some changes, yes. But Not too many, methinks?Your retelling is really good!
But I'm afraid that if you go too "realistic" about what happens you will end up too far away from the original plot.
On a slightly different note, I think the "ultimate" Pokemon that Cipher talks about is really XD001, I think Nintendo was foreshadowing XD and Shadow Lugia.
1. Ain't telling, tis a secret. I've got an answer already though.Question time! (I'm overdue for this, so here you go.)
1.Who is Mirakle B.? Miror B.'s son? Tom in disguise?
2.Does Rui get her crazyness from her grandparents, who DO live in a tree?
3.Is Venus psychic? I mean, how else do you know that traitors are in the city?
4.Is Tom from the Under? 'Cause he still can't find his "hise".
5.What is the explanation for Dakim's anger managment problems? Red cordial?
Ok then... well, glad you like Tom... that post be a tad spammy though.Es. Pe. On ( Funnyest.Fanfic.Ever.)
Yes I did that on purpose. Mow it's twim too gte me sminky, no dinky, ummes sminky,nowes mees gots it. nweed to get my winky on.
TOM ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, wouldn't help Wes much, would it? Oh well. Thanks for the praise.i really like this fanfic, its got some real writing talent behind it.
i loved it when Miror B. put on the pokemon theme tune. If i were in Wes' situation, I would have incapacitate myself with laughter.
Umm... missing point much? You see-Bob and Bill, I think the warning about a random person having a weird afro is completely unessacary. We know its Miror B.
...yeah, there ya go. Methinks you didn't even read the story, did you? You just came and said something pointless, missing the obvious. Meh, I've no time time for spammers. You summed it up, alzzy.He was trying to be funny, the story is comedic as is the Rating so shut up.
See, antoher person who egts the message.Oh God, when I saw this fic advertised in your sig, I just HAD to come check it out. I love the Orre games like no tomorrow. I’m serious, best games ever.
Actually, I’ve never played Colosseum. I bought and played XD throughly, but now that I can actually read about Colosseum, I now understand certain references about certain characters and towns/cities better than just having XD knowledge. This makes me very happy ^^ One day, I shall have to track down Colosseum and buy it.
I f***ing love your disclaimer for Miror B on the first page. (Warning – There is a high possibility of a random person possessing a large, flamboyant afro.) I snorted XD;
I’m looking forward to reading up until the very end of Wes' excellent adventure
Thanks.I love it, all your jokes, you're doing a great job!
Croconaw, dodge your Water Gun attack and strike back with your Water Gun!
The other Ludicolo quickly danced to its aid, trying to help the other to its feet as it flailed its arms and legs in the air, trying to dance while lying on the ground.
Makuhita danced menacing towards the other, who confidently stood ready to counter-attack.
“How… weird was that though? We battled some crazy guy with a giant Pokeball-themed afro with a Ludicolo fetish, and halfway through it we were forced to dance during the battle! And the Ludicolo did the Can-can and had maracas, fro crying out loud! It’s almost like some bored guy with nothing better to do came up with this crazy battle…”
Croconaw exclaimed, shaking his head as he relieved the experience through his mind.
The small mouse Pokemon was small in size - similar in size to one of Rui’s boots.
Firstly, I think it’s safe to say that Cipher are by far larger than what we thought.
“NO!” Nascour screamed at the television, jumping up and down. “THIS! IS! BAD! CIPHER! ISN’T! SUPPOSED! TO! BE! UNCOVERED!
Luckily, the girl grabbed the microphone off the interviewer and started talking.”
NO! THIS! IS! BAD! BAD! BAD! TERRIBLE! ARRGH!” Nascour shouted, flying out of the room in a temper.
ATTENTION SUPER IMPORTANT AUTHOR’S MESSAGE OF DOOM PASTRIES!
(Dance Dance Revolution!)
noticing Miror B take a pink umbrella out of nowhere, unfurl it and stick it in his afro.
They’re surely not… they’re doing the Can-Can?
...noticing that her feet had stopped obeying her, as they started tapping to the beat.
(Die!)
“Hit them with your rhythm sticks!”
“Your television interview, of course. You go live in half an hour.”
Sounds of face palms could be heard offstage.
“Oh yes, hot and sunny in Camera,”
“It was scary, but fun at the same time, but mostly scary! And fun...
“It’s a me, Tom!”
greevil
Nascour didn’t get much sleep that night.
Miror B shouted suddenly, as the two Ludicolo abruptly blasted two jest of water from their mouths in Umbreon, who gave a wail of surprise.
“Espeon!”
He chased it down, this time biting its sombre.
Makuhita danced menacing towards the other
Smiling with mischief, he than waved off the Ludicolo’s arms
“No, you stupid thing! Oh, what kind of dance is that?”
It’s almost like some bored guy with nothing better to do came up with this crazy battle…”
“Gateon Port will be very hot and sunny, and… and…”
“Camera!” someone hissed again at Alex.
“Oh yes, hot and sunny in Camera,” Alex concluded
the coffee crisis in Viridian City
quacking in response as they started dancing
This sentence just sounds awkward. Removing the "hit him" helps somewhat, but...causing Umbreon to miss and receive a jet of water hit him from the Ludicolo for his trouble.
not noticing his coat had become heavy and drenched with water.
Both managed to aim their beaks at Croconaw
“No, I won, but he had a trick up his sleeve.
Even though there are multiple people, the term "group" is singular.A few hours later, the group was back at Sherles’ office.
LOL, you SERIOUSLY need to get someone to draw/sprite this.And - WHAT THE HELL?” Rui asked, noticing Miror B take a pink umbrella out of nowhere, unfurl it and stick it in his afro.
It's the new frantic flailing dance craze that's taking Orre by storm! I would've thought that the dance master himself knew that one XD“No, you stupid thing! Oh, what kind of dance is that?” Miror B moaned, face palming himself.
Quoted for truth.It’s almost like some bored guy with nothing better to do came up with this crazy battle…
I'm voting "good thing," if only because now he, his Ludicolo troupe, and his delightful music will strike again“Oh, Miror B got away.” Johnson said quietly. A moment later, he continued. “Is that a good, or a bad thing?”
I like potatoes in french fry form XDHi there you’re a person I like persons I also like potatoes I’m hungry where are they!
Yay for Nascour temper tantrum! It's funny because the guy seems so cold and calculating in the cutscenes where he's dealing with the admins.“NO!” Nascour screamed at the television, jumping up and down. “THIS! IS! BAD! CIPHER! ISN’T! SUPPOSED! TO! BE! UNCOVERED!"
Within all of Tom's random ranting, a subtle hint, perhaps? XD (And is that "XD" there a subtle hint itself?)wends and stoppered the greevil siunds!
Thanks for those.*insert corrections here*
Thanks - I really spent a long time on the battle...Now I have to say this chapter is the most well-written out of all of them. Miror B is hands down the best battler out of everyone...
But I didn't see how you focused ore on Wes's personality...I still only have a notion of who he is and how he acts.
I also applaud you for having very definitive dialogue. It's what I look for in fics, and I must say that yours is very good, especially some of Nascour's... =D
Overall, great chapter. I leave the rest of the crit to your real reviewers... =P
Thanks for that - nice to see what parts people liked. Glad you liked the chapter as well.... Wow. Since you already have a "proper" review for this chapter, here comes the highlights.
*insert long list of highlights*
This is pure gold. KEEP IT UP.
I did? Hmm, will need to look into that, thought I caught those.Oh yeah, I loved this. Took me a while to get out of my slump and read it, but I read this before the other three chapters waiting for me. One thing I noticed was that you keep switching between saying 'it' and saying 'he' when referring to Pokemon.
First two are changed, but not the third, as I feel Umbreon doesn't have to be the one to respond - either could (or Wes and Rui could have) - Umbreon, could for instance have a mouthful of water... but noted. Might need to be clearer though, maybe?First, jest should be jets. Second, in should be at. And third, Umbreon is saying 'Espeon'.
Thanks for noting those as well. And imagine triple the amount being left in had I not proof-read at all! And I waited a while as well, only I was probably tired at the time. Bah.*other mistakes*
I agree, I also found it amusing. *does a menacing dance*Noticed the mistake Dramatic Melody pointed out, but I just had to quote this because of how much I laughed when I tried to imagine something dancing menacingly.
Thanks for that! And yes, I am brilliant. Hope I didn't annoy your mother too much as well.All I can say is XD! You're brilliant, maybe I'll get around to reading the other fics waiting for me now I'm in a good mood. I probably woke my mother up with all the laughing, though.
~GG~
But I hadn't meant more Wes-ness in this chapter, as mentoned before. Oh well. Gald you like the chapter though.I liked it, and everyone else has allready pretty much pointed out everything. As somone said you said you were going to go farther into Wes but I didn't really see that. None the less great chapter in a great fic.
But you just went on and said some more!There's nothing left for me to say that hasn't already been said.
Once again, simple comedic genius. Nothing less. Between the completely bizarre battle with Miror B. to the potato-obsessed Plusle to Nascour's bad day, everything was just perfect from end to end.
Great job.
*insert even mOAR mistakes*
And... thanks for those as well. Bah, hopefully that's all of them...
I agree.Enough grammar! Onto the rest of the review!
Firstloy, thanks for the grammer picks, should be fixed now. If only I was able to proof-read my own work...LOL, you SERIOUSLY need to get someone to draw/sprite this.
WHAT THE HELL, indeed.
I'd sprite it myself, only I don't have the slightest clue. Oh well - any volunteers?
But you see, Sudowoodo was doing it wrong.It's the new frantic flailing dance craze that's taking Orre by storm! I would've thought that the dance master himself knew that one XD
Indeed - expect returns from Miror B - and maybe not even in the parts where he does so in the game? We shall see...I'm voting "good thing," if only because now he, his Ludicolo troupe, and his delightful music will strike again.
Yeah perhaps. Probably has to do with my small dislike for Sudowoodo... I might add a bit more later on then.If I had one complaint it would be that Sudowoodo was caught a bit too easily, weakness to/from the rain notwithstanding. I would've liked to get a taste of its power in battle.
I agree wit the maracas thing. I better e-mail Nintendo or something. Glad you liked my take on Miror B's awesomeness.Other than that, though, awesome battle. Nice strategy with Miror B. forcing Wes and co. to dance. And an even nicer strategy having Wes use the dancing to his advantage by dodging Water Guns. And maraca-wielding crazed dancing Ludicolo FTW. I hear that the maracas increase Ludicolo's attack by 10%. Seriously, that should be a held item for 5th-gen.
More subtle hints even in the reviews? Never!Within all of Tom's random ranting, a subtle hint, perhaps? XD (And is that "XD" there a subtle hint itself?)
I was wondering how he would mis-say 'evil', and greevil randomly came up in my purposeful misspelling-fest. Amused me when I looked at it, and kept it in.
Thanks. Excellent review. And typing the battle to Miror B music might help with the atmosphere to it as well - at times I was typing to the music!Excellent chapter, and having the salsa theme playing (I have an MP3 file of it) really does add to the atmosphere. And... Don't. Mess. With. The. Salsa. Music. Tape. Ever.
Cheers for another awesome review. My reply on PC shall be the same thing again as well, probably. More or less.
AND! THAT! REVIEW! WAS! EPIC! TOO!THAT! CHAPTER! WAS! EPIC!
Yes, I did. But that shall be the last time we see Tom - leastways, for at least a good while and in this fic. I'm not ruling out a return of Tom, but I don't want to use him too much....I WAS going to say that just the battle was epic, but no, you had to give Tom some more glorious screentime, didn't you, bobandbill?
What, like this?Suffice XDit to say that I XD couldn't stop laughing XD at certain points. Pretend that this XD review will be peppered with "xD"s, XD because if I did put XD them everywhere I feel like putting them, XD it'd seem awfully repetetive. XD XD XD
Yes, the beginning was a tad anti-funny, but I wanted to build into it. And the umbrella joke was, as mentioned, too good not to put in.Although, for the first few moves of the battle it started off fairly ordinary, and I was worried that this chapter was going to be a bit lacklustre comedy-wise. But then Miror B. put an umbrella in his hair and things started getting back on form. Oh yes. I mean, apart from being so completely random, an umbrella with an afro actually really works, when you think about it. And god forbid Miror B.'s magnificent afro get wet, of course.
I love that part myself.Then it just starts getting awesome. Ludicolo doing the Can-Can, for one thing - it helped that I could actually imagine them doing so, which put one hell of a funny mental image into my head.
So everyone from now on shall dance?But then you go even better with Miror B.'s dance-inducing music! I think the reason I really, really liked that was that from then on, the whole scene was funny. I was picturing everyone dancing in whatever they did and it just got crazy. If you can make a scenario like this where everything proceeds to be funny from it, you know you're doing well. So yes. More all-encompassing funny stuff like this, yes please.
Well, if I get another similar idea, I'll use it, but it's not often you have someone like Miror B to take advantage of. Glad you liked that though.
Hear hear. Maracas FTW.Also, hit me with your rhythm stick. (It's good to be a lunatic!) Seconding DP479 that Maracas needs to be a holding item for Ludicolo in the 5th gen.
Similar to how Suudowoodo can't dance - he be too much of a Shadow Pokemon really.And good old Makuhita with his "DIE!" mindset that was completely incompatible with the music. =D Loved the clashing of temperaments there, but also the fact that this was the reason Wes won, in the end.
Plusle is COMPLETELY forgotten in the game, and it's too annoying not to spoof. Giant Ear-muff strap FTW as well.Wes completely forgetting about Plusle amused me, for some reason. As did the image of Miror B. with earmuffs - surely the strap connecting them would need to be massive to fit over his afro?
Someone mentioned Johnson now. Yay. Good he too was made of win.Johnson was as win this chapter as he usually is. No more needs to be said on that.
Random tidbit - the characters of Alex and William were actually two characters from a comedy script I did before a few years back. I felt like bringing them back as a fun in-joke reference.I loved the news report and all the small things you shoved in there. Work-experience Alex was funny as hell (methinks that with the accidental Hoenn weather report he gave, the Hoenn authorities might be too tied up with a couple of rampaging legendaries to come and help out with Cipher, no?), as well as the fact that their weather diagram was a map taped to the wall. Coffee crisis in Viridian City got a laugh out of me as soon as I noticed it in someone else's highlights and realised the reference. Nascour screaming "NO!" as the news report continued on made for a very funny atmosphere for some reason...
Good pick on Hoenn as well (unless the other people didn't bother to).
TOM indeed - I couldn't resist. And PPG's award was too goo not to mention and post as well.and then we get to the interviews. Rui is always a source of amusement with her long babbly speeches of awesomeness, the stop-selling-me-things lady made a short but welcome return, and TOM. I think these were quite possibly my favourite Tom-ramblings of the fic so far, the absolute best one being "him used win" for the sheer Internet-ness of it. But I also liked the Ludicolololololololos and the Mario line and what seemed to be a reference to that award that Pink Parka Girl gave you. Oh yes.
Damn.Just so that this review isn't quite all gushing raves about the chapter's awesomeness, I'll do some crit here. (And you thought this part would never come.)
Oh, yeah. Stupid two similar moves. I'm not sure IF Espeon could learn Light Screen then though... *checks* - he can, but only via TM, and he already got taught a few...First of all, Water Gun being a special attack, Reflect wouldn't have worked on it. It's Light Screen you want (which I'm pretty sure Espeon has in Colosseum anyway, so...).
Anyways, I've always taken that Reflect and Light Screen would act in similar ways as well -a force field would stop physical and special attacks, although the 2 different ones may be better at one kind than another. But's that's my intrepretation, not the agmes, so might need to expand on that.
Probably because I did... I shall look into that later and maybe give him some more, or at least give him some pain as well as rain. Hmm, water gun attacks come to mind, heh.I do agree with whoever it was who said that the Sudowoodo needed to take a little longer to be caught. It was almost like after the awesomeness of the Ludicolo battle, you just wanted Sudowoodo out of the way and snagged without much trouble, but I reckon that with a bit more screentime, you could have given him a personality and some funny bits of his own.
Miror B has Ludicolo of (slightly) differing levels in the game, so I'll jsut say he started with the better ones.I also vaguely registered through my laughter that the second two Ludicolos weren't coming across as so difficult to beat, compared to the first two who had strategy with the Rain Dance and seemed for a little while to possibly be unstoppable. But the second half of the battle was so danged funny that I didn't care, and I still don't really now. So yeah.
Ok than. Glad I have improved description-wise though, that too was a focus as well.Finally, while your description and general writing style has improved immensely, you still have the tendency to repeat words in quick succession, which makes the prose slightly jerky and can detract from the humour. The most noticeable point was when Miror B. said something along the lines of "The tape's intact!" and then a sentence later, the narrative said pretty much the same thing including use of the word "intact", which was rather unnecessary.
Fair point, I'll change that soon enough.Also, on a similar note, and I don't know how often you do this or whether it's a one-off thing, but I noticed that you stuck the adverb "hyperactively" on the end of one of Plusle's explosions of words. When the words themselves scream hyperactive, and when it's already been established how hyper the little electric bunny is, you don't need to go adding things like this as it just seems like pointing out the obvious.
Thanks for the long review, and glad you liked it.There. All in all, though, EASILY the best chapter yet.
Good to see you, BladedScizor! I do like my random comedy.Finally got around to reading this fic, and I'm seriously glad I did; this is definitely one of the best comedy fics I've ever read here. Of course, part of that is because I'm a sucker for random comedy; then again, there is a right and a wrong way to do random comedy, and you just about have it to an art form.
Don't blame you there.I would go around quoting some of my favorite parts, but with eleven chapters full of awesomely outrageous moments, that would make for a really long post. That said, I'll just note that the 'shut up' moment at the bridge leading over 'The Under', Johnson's victory with Magikarp, and pretty much every scene involving Tom were freaking brilliant.
Hurrah - another non-Colosseum player who likes it! I also like the 'filling plotholes' stories and doing so myself as well.Considering you've already been reading my fic since it starting, you already know that I enjoy adding some explanation to plot holes, and other things that never got a full explanation in canon, so it's pretty cool seeing a fic that does the same thing. Granted, I never played Coliseum or XD, but then, that gives me an added appreciation for the summaries of the actual game's events that you give with each chapter.
Yes, you should have. Thanks though, and glad I got a new reader.The characters are also great, from the fourth-wall-breaking NPCs, to the stupidly hilarious Trudley, Folly, and Johnson, to the completely over-the-top Miror B. The differing personalities given to the Pokemon were also great, and they even managed to throw humor into the serious battles.
Well, I really should have started reading this sooner, as I would've been able to come up with a more in-depth review. Suffice to say, I look forward to what comes next after this.
Hey, I was the one to say that on DP's thread! Oh well.EDIT: Oh yeah, I completely forgot: I hereby label this fic as AFRO-TASTIC!
Another lazy reviewer, eh? No worries. Good that you also like it, and I shall add you to the PM list.New reader here.
Actually, I've been reading your story for a couple of days now. I'm up to date as of today, and I enjoy your story. Since I'm a lazy child, I won't review all 11 chapters. It's very humourous, and I'd appreciate it if you add me to the PM list.
~Piekid
Once again - thanks for those reviews - they're a great help!
EDIT: 1001 posts? Jeez... I've been here a while.
Ludi Ludi Ludicolo!” (Dance Dance Revolution!) they quacked, and while stepping together in unison, they did a dance somewhat reminiscent of the Mexican Hat dance.
“Yes, I’m singing in the rain, just singing in the rain...” Miror B started singing joyfully.
“Wes, how does he manage to sing that to the tune of his salsa music? And - WHAT THE HELL?” Rui asked, noticing Miror B take a pink umbrella out of nowhere, unfurl it and stick it in his afro.
“MAKUHITA!” (Die stupid music!) he cried, and with that started punching and kicking the poor radio. The music started to waver, and then abruptly stopped as the radio gained many dents and lost various pieces of its machinery.
They’re were phisy torunenementy thingy, sis, and I losts my smazzules. Sos I wents backs homes bit thers a wide world goings on, see!”
--
“Thens, thens… wet!” Tom shouted. “tehn that…. That supermany guy, him used win sos we wemp upstars and the was fis guy and two pother girl guysis! Thens a mcary thingy ith hairs EVERYVERYWHERES!”
--
“So so I so wis sarced, butter I met Simon ind wends and stoppered the greevil siunds! Thens I wents high homes! Then beforwords I mome back herey and sees hat hair thingy ru…ran…swimmning off with some…” Here Tom’s face wrinkled into a further state of concentration. “Theys were… Lu…lud… liducolo…lo…lolololololololos!”
“I think that’s enough there,” William mumbled, stepping slowly away.
“Ludimefudilololololos! Heys, come backs!” Tom cried. “I dehands respict! I wis vitted bestyestest drunken… thingy here!”

Chapter 11 – Who needs a Chapter title? It’s Miror B!
“Yes, I’m singing in the rain, just singing in the rain...” Miror B started singing joyfully.
“Wes, how does he manage to sing that to the tune of his salsa music? And - WHAT THE HELL?” Rui asked, noticing Miror B take a pink umbrella out of nowhere, unfurl it and stick it in his afro. Wes merely gaped at Miror B’s technique of keeping himself dry, and so did Wes’s Pokemon.
“Hahaha, you’ll never overcome my Ludicolo army! Now, Rain Dance again!” he cried. Quacking in response, the pair joined hands and started a different dance.
No, Wes thought. They’re surely not… they’re doing the Can-Can? Wes thought in shock, as the Pokemon began to do just that.
“Ludi!” (Dance dance!) chanted one, kicking out enthusiastically as the rain began to pick up again, the threat from Secret Power having dissipated by now.
“Ludicolo Ludi!” (Yes we do a dance dance!) The other Ludicolo sung.
“Ludicolo Ludi!” (Now we do a rain dance!)
“Ludi Colo Ludi Ludi Ludi Ludi!” (Can you do a dance dance dance dance dance dance dance dance!)
“Ha, Wes, you did well!” Johnson suddenly shouted, beaming as he stepped forward into the ring and interrupted Wes’s command. Both Makuhita and Croconaw glanced at Johnson curiously. “But I, the brave and wonderful Johnson, shall win! Go, Magikarp!” he said, sending out his flopping fish Pokemon.
“…Eh, he might win again,” Wes mumbled, stepping away to let Johnson try his luck with his surprisingly powerful Magikarp.
“So, you think you can dance?” Miror B chuckled, amused at the group as he placed the radio by his mini-stage. “This is my special radio that my dear friend in Cipher made me! Instead of merely playing the song, it sends out suggestive waves that force you to dance! So, try fighting me while you jive to the music! I assure you, it’s the only way to battle – with dance!” he sung. Meanwhile, Johnson’s Magikarp flopped along to the music – and started flopping out of the cave as well, unable to control where it could go.
“Hey, come back!” Johnson cried, dancing an Irish Jig after his Magikarp and out of the cave. Soon after the sound of shouts and splashes could be heard.
“Croconaw!” (Whatever you say, sir!) Croconaw responded confidently, as he danced out of the way of an incoming Water Gun and fired back, hitting one of the Ludicolo square in the face with his attack.
“Hita!” (Die!) Makuhita cried,and ignoring Wes’s orders he tried to charge forward. His attempt failed however as his dancing feet didn’t agree with his sudden change of pace and direction, tripping him up and leaving him vulnerable to a Water Gun attack, which struck him hard.
“My Ludicolo! Take these!” Miror B called, procuring two pairs of maracas out of nowhere and tossing them to his Ludicolo. “Hit them with your rhythm sticks!”
“Ludi Ludi Ludi!” (Hit you hit you hit you!) they chorused, shaking the maracas madly and wildly as they used Fury Swipes. Croconaw successfully evaded one of the Ludicolo’s attacks and returned a Scratch attack of his own, but Makuhita refused to let his feet do the moving for him, and ended up on the receiving end of the maracas.
“Wow… that’s a good attack there, Makuhita!” Wes called out, impressed at the damage seemingly dished out to the Ludicolo. As Croconaw and Makuhita ran rampant against their two opponents, Miror B ignored the events around him, his focus currently lying on the radio.
“Come on now, my Sudowoodo!” Miror B cried. “Beat those Pokemon down, and try to dance just like we’ve practised!” Miror B commanded; however Wes couldn’t help notice a slight hint of pleading in his voice.
“Sudowoodo!” (I’m going to be… huh?) The Pokemon shouted, before noticing that it was raining - although the intensity of the downpour had dwindled with the fainting of the Ludicolo, it was still going. With a cry, the Sudowoodo started to panic and run around in frantic circles, its intimidating demeanour now gone.
“No, you stupid thing! Oh, what kind of dance is that?” Miror B moaned, face palming himself. “I knew I should have brought some more Ludicolo… hey, don’t do that!” Miror B cried, noticing Wes prime his Snag machine. It was too late however - within a mere moment Wes had chucked a Snag Ball at the Pokemon, and offering little resistance, the Snag Ball soon pinged a successful capture.
“Now, give us back Plusle!” Rui added.
She received blank stares from both Miror B and Wes for a few moments. Then a few faint Pokemon cries suddenly sounded, from the room connected to the cave.
Oh, THAT Plusle, Wes thought, remembering what they had come for.
“I h-had t-t-to rescue M-m-m-magic-c-c….” Johnson mumbled, shivering uncontrollably. Rui went out of the room and quickly returned with a towel, handing it to Johnson who covered himself with it.
“Magic? What are you blathering about?” Sherles scolded, as Johnson kept shivering.
“Magikarp,” he managed, before collapsing into a chair, looking faint from his ordeal. He accepted a cup of warm drink from Rui before continuing. “I had to go swimming for him, you see.”
“But Johnson,” Wes interjected, “Why didn’t you just use your Pokeball to return him?” Johnson blinked at Wes, considering the question.
“Yeah, I probably should have done that in the first place…” Johnson said after a while, causing all in the room to face palm themselves.
‘Team Cipher’s guide to being evil and stuff’.
“Well,” Sherles began with a smile, “it seems that this bust up was big enough to attract some attention from the other bigger regions. Because of that, we can be expecting some help from their law forces. They’ll be over here in a couple of days.”
They start with the weather? That’s odd for any news show, Nascour thought, already confused. There didn’t seem to be a weatherman present either.
“…Alex?” the newsreader called. After a few noticeable mutters, Alex appeared finally, look flustered and very nervous.
“Ah, here is our new weatherman… on work experience….” the newsreader muttered.
Alex mumbled, before his gave returned to his piece of paper.
No, Nascour thought.
“No.” Nascour said. “No! The kid from Snagem shouldn’t have done this to us…”
“NO!” Nascour screamed at the television, jumping up and down. “THIS! IS! BAD! CIPHER! ISN’T! SUPPOSED! TO! BE! UNCOVERED!"
“NO!”
“NO!”
“…something good!”
"NO! THIS! IS! BAD! BAD! BAD! TERRIBLE! ARRGH!” Nascour shouted, flying out of the room in a temper. The grunt unsteadily stepped out of his way, before sitting down in the seat to see what the fuss was about.
“I’s…I’s… I’s a wityness!” he said.
“Oh good!” William gushed. “What is your name, sir?”
“It’s a me, Tom!”
“…Ok then, Tom. What happened?”
William looked blankly at Tom.
“So so I so wis sarced, butter I met Simon ind wends and stoppered the greevil siunds! Thens I wents high homes!
