Ludimefudilololololos!
First of all, congratulations on becoming a mod for the Pokémon Colosseum & XD forum! ^^ And congratulations on receiving The Beermeister Award, too!
Second of all... the latest chapter is officially my favorite chapter of this fic thus far. I had been looking forward to reading about a battle with Miror B. and his pineapple duck squad very much, and I just knew that I was going to enjoy the heck out of the chapter that contained it... but that chapter actually exceeded even my expectations, which is saying something due to what a Miror B. fangirl I am. X3
I did have his Colosseum theme playing while I was reading the battle scene, heck yes. I also set my little Ludimefudilololololo figure up here by my monitor for the occasion. (There's also an Alien queen figure up here, and she's staring at the Ludi as if she's wondering if he really would taste like pineapple, or like duck, or like both, or like neither. It makes for a pretty amusing image, in my opinion. XD) The Miror B. battle was something I definitely found fun to read--especially when he made everyone start dancing! X3 That was awesome and funny as heck, I thought, the image of all those characters--especially that Makuhita--dancing. XD
Tom was, as always, positively GLORIOUS, I thought. X3 Johnson, too, brought some new highlights to add to the gallery of his own priceless moments. X3 Speaking of highly amusing characters, Alex definitely joins that list, in my opinion--especially glorious was when he spoke of the weather in "Camera". XD Plusle (and his love for potatoes! XD) also joins my list of favorite characters from this fic so far. ^^
I LOVE THAT TITLE. X3
That's considerate and probably pretty wise of those Ludicolo to make sure that what they're doing doesn't interfere with their trainer's dancing. ^^
..That said, I still couldn't help but pause to consider what it would look like if he were to slip on a puddle. The image that popped into my head was a pretty darned entertaining one: it involved the classic "slipping on a banana peel"-type sound effect heard in certain old-school cartoons and had the poor guy literally going head-over-heels. And to top things off, one of his big ol' clunky boots went flying up right off his foot and came down right on his head. BONK! X3
Speaking of amusing images, that there was another one. XD
See that? That was like some kind of crazy combo attack of funny there. First of all, I couldn't help but be amused when Miror B. started singing that. X3 Then, Rui's question about how in the heck he could possibly be singing THAT to the tune of his theme music amused me even more. XD And then Miror B. brought out that umbrella, and that was just effing hilarious. XDDDD Not only was it a glorious image, but how in the heck that man keeps that hair from being ruined by the rain aspect of his Pokémon's rain 'n' drain strategy is something that I myself have wondered about on a number of occasions, so I enjoyed seeing that particular mystery of Pokémon Colosseum addressed. ^^
Incidentally... I can't help but wonder where he had that umbrella stashed prior to whipping it (BY WHICH I MEAN THE UMBRELLA) out like that. X3 My current theories are that either a.) he had it folded up and stored in his hair for just such an occasion, b.) he simply pulled it out from whatever secret dimension it is that cartoon characters have pulled things out from over the years, or c.) he pulled it out from a secret dimension... the gateway to which is IN HIS HAIR. X3
There's another priceless image: that of Ludicolo doing the CAN-CAN. XD
And yet another! XDDDD Johnson chasing after his Magikarp and doing an Irish jig all the while = hilarious image. XD
XD
I love that line. XD
The seriousness and viciousness with which he initially launched that attack made the fact that his involuntary dancing literally tripped him up before he could actually land that attack all the funnier, I thought. XD And his (translated from Pokémon-language) exclamation of "Stupid feet!" made me laugh, too. XD
I'm inclined to suspect that those were in his hair, too. XD And you know what else I suspect? Guess where socks in Orre probably wind up when they get lost. Yeah. X3 I'm telling you, there's a freaking dimensional portal in that afro! X3
"Hit you hit you hit you!" XD I liked that. X3
"Danced menacingly"... That put such an awesome image in my mind.... X3
Very smart move on Makuhita's part, there. ^^ And I liked the use of "poor radio" there. X3
XD Poor thing.
I liked how he said "don't do that" to Wes. It amused me for some reason, possibly due to its utter futility. XD
He actually forgot... XD Well, in all fairness to Wes, a dancing man with shiny clothes and a ginormous afro (complete with a removable umbrella accessory!) does have the potential to be a pretty darned big distraction. Heck, the matter of the Plusle actually slipped my mind during the battle, too--I think that my thoughts and memories of that Plusle must have fallen into the dimensional portal in Miror B.'s hair. X3
...I HAD TO SAY THAT. HAD TO! I COULDN'T RESIST! XDDDD
D'awww, sad-Miror music. X3 And "great, now I have to go to jail" made me laugh. XD
XD Good one, Miror B.!
Also, that made me recall just how Miror B. looks when he runs--and how hilarious I think it is when he runs. XD
...Either that, or Miror B. was actually still relatively nearby then, but his large amount of hair was temporarily muffling the signal of his brain waves at that time and thereby interfering with Espeon's perception. X3
XD I love that Plusle's personality.
XD
Again, I love that Plusle's personality. XD
Also, I got a fair bit of amusement from the fact that my mind decided to be silly (...okay, sillier, more like X3) and pose the following question to itself regarding what Plusle said there: What if, when he asked, "I'm hungry where are they?", he was actually referring to persons rather than potatoes? XD
Does he love devouring pastries as much as he loves devouringpersons potatoes? :3
...And does he have a specific fondness for foods that begin with the letter "p", or is that just a coincidence? X3
XD
Johnson amuses me so very much... XD
I love the title of that book... X3
JOHNSON AMUSES ME SO VERY MUCH... XDDDD
I lliked her reaction there. XD
...Upon reading that there, my mind immediately conjured up an image of a couple of grunts trying to carry in a sofa (and doing a rather poor job of it, which is unsurprising since the grunts supplied for this bit of mental cinema by my mind look like they wouldn't even weigh a hundred pounds sopping wet) while Nascour stands aside, pinching the bridge of his nose in exasperation. XD
X3
...And THAT put an image in my mind of what might happen if those grunts were to accidentally drop that television--suffice it to say, that particular what-if scenario doesn't end any better for the grunts than it does for the television. X3
OH, SNAP! X3
XD
XDDDD Alex = a very amusing character, in my opinion.
Fwee for the reference to the old man in Viridian and his coffee!
XD I liked that particular detail.
XD I liked what Rui said there.
That old lady is awesome, I'd say. XD I'll bet she's often awakened at night by paranoid notions that there are salesmen hiding under the bed and in the closet. X3
The moment I read that, my face lit up like a frelling Christmas tree because I knew just who it was who had to have said that.
XD
XD AWESOME. I especially love how he said that someone "used win", and also especially love the term "EVERYVERYWHERES". XD
LUDIMEFUDILOLOLOLOLOS! XDDDD Oh, my gosh... I think that that's what Ludicolo shall forever be called in my mind from now on. XD
Also, "I dehands respict!" = hilarious, I thought. XD
I love how Nascour blamed some poor, unfortunate, grunt who had not a darned thing to do with the television being broken for the television being broken. XD And yeah, I imagine that it was indeed wise of that grunt to get the heck out of there and away from Nascour. X3
First of all, congratulations on becoming a mod for the Pokémon Colosseum & XD forum! ^^ And congratulations on receiving The Beermeister Award, too!

Chapter 11 – Who needs a Chapter title? It’s Miror B!
I LOVE THAT TITLE. X3
“Let’s begin, my Ludicolo! We’re inside, so start off by using Water Sport! Spray the cave with it!” Miror B said, kicking off the battle in a musical way, singing his command to the salsa music.
“Ludicolo!” (Water time!) said the pair of Ludicolo, quacking in response as they started dancing before expelling large amounts of water all over the cave floor. A small section around Miror B’s feet however remained dry, so he could dance without slipping on his mini-stage in the middle of the room.
That's considerate and probably pretty wise of those Ludicolo to make sure that what they're doing doesn't interfere with their trainer's dancing. ^^
..That said, I still couldn't help but pause to consider what it would look like if he were to slip on a puddle. The image that popped into my head was a pretty darned entertaining one: it involved the classic "slipping on a banana peel"-type sound effect heard in certain old-school cartoons and had the poor guy literally going head-over-heels. And to top things off, one of his big ol' clunky boots went flying up right off his foot and came down right on his head. BONK! X3
Umbreon charged forward again only to be forced back with a flurry of Fury Swipes attacks from his target Ludicolo, the Pokemon swinging out its arms haphazardly in defence. The other was not so lucky, unable to defend against the Confusion attack. It held his head in pain but still managed to incorporate it into a dance move.
Speaking of amusing images, that there was another one. XD
“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.
See that? That was like some kind of crazy combo attack of funny there. First of all, I couldn't help but be amused when Miror B. started singing that. X3 Then, Rui's question about how in the heck he could possibly be singing THAT to the tune of his theme music amused me even more. XD And then Miror B. brought out that umbrella, and that was just effing hilarious. XDDDD Not only was it a glorious image, but how in the heck that man keeps that hair from being ruined by the rain aspect of his Pokémon's rain 'n' drain strategy is something that I myself have wondered about on a number of occasions, so I enjoyed seeing that particular mystery of Pokémon Colosseum addressed. ^^
Incidentally... I can't help but wonder where he had that umbrella stashed prior to whipping it (BY WHICH I MEAN THE UMBRELLA) out like that. X3 My current theories are that either a.) he had it folded up and stored in his hair for just such an occasion, b.) he simply pulled it out from whatever secret dimension it is that cartoon characters have pulled things out from over the years, or c.) he pulled it out from a secret dimension... the gateway to which is IN HIS HAIR. X3
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.
There's another priceless image: that of Ludicolo doing the CAN-CAN. XD
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.
And yet another! XDDDD Johnson chasing after his Magikarp and doing an Irish jig all the while = hilarious image. XD
Soon after the sound of shouts and splashes could be heard.
“Ah great, so I have to do the work,” Wes complained, guessing that Johnson may have fallen into the underground lake of water outside the cave.
XD
“My feet are uncomfortably energetic!” Rui cried in dismay.
I love that line. XD
“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.
“Maku!” (Stupid feet!) Makuhita cried, gingerly getting to his feet.
The seriousness and viciousness with which he initially launched that attack made the fact that his involuntary dancing literally tripped him up before he could actually land that attack all the funnier, I thought. XD And his (translated from Pokémon-language) exclamation of "Stupid feet!" made me laugh, too. XD
“My Ludicolo! Take these!” Miror B called, procuring two pairs of maracas out of nowhere and tossing them to his Ludicolo.
I'm inclined to suspect that those were in his hair, too. XD And you know what else I suspect? Guess where socks in Orre probably wind up when they get lost. Yeah. X3 I'm telling you, there's a freaking dimensional portal in that afro! X3
“Ludi Ludi Ludi!” (Hit you hit you hit you!) they chorused, shaking the maracas madly and wildly as they used Fury Swipes.
"Hit you hit you hit you!" XD I liked that. X3
Makuhita danced menacingly towards the other, who confidently stood ready to counter-attack.
"Danced menacingly"... That put such an awesome image in my mind.... X3
Suddenly, Makuhita changed direction, and instead of trying to punch the Ludicolo before him he made a beeline for the radio.
“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.
Very smart move on Makuhita's part, there. ^^ And I liked the use of "poor radio" there. X3
[“Sudowoodo!” (I’m going to be… huh?) 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.
XD Poor thing.
“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.
I liked how he said "don't do that" to Wes. It amused me for some reason, possibly due to its utter futility. XD
“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.
He actually forgot... XD Well, in all fairness to Wes, a dancing man with shiny clothes and a ginormous afro (complete with a removable umbrella accessory!) does have the potential to be a pretty darned big distraction. Heck, the matter of the Plusle actually slipped my mind during the battle, too--I think that my thoughts and memories of that Plusle must have fallen into the dimensional portal in Miror B.'s hair. X3
...I HAD TO SAY THAT. HAD TO! I COULDN'T RESIST! XDDDD
“Right, yes, Plusle,” Miror B said. “Well, you’ve beaten me, so I shall return him to you… great, now I have to go to jail,” he conceded with a sigh, walking over to his radio and changing the salsa music to a mournful, sad tune, while removing the large pink umbrella from his hair.
D'awww, sad-Miror music. X3 And "great, now I have to go to jail" made me laugh. XD
“He’s in the next room; just press that button there to open the door.
“Well, maybe you should have given up before when we offered you the chance,” Rui said simply as she walked over to the door, while Wes kept an eye on Miror B. She approached a small, red button on the door, pressed it -
- and salsa music blazed loudly from the door as it opened. Rui and Wes cried out in pain as they clutched their ears.
“Aha! You didn’t think I didn’t have a back up plan, did you?” Miror B shouted over the clamour, putting on some earmuffs, then moving to pick up his radio. He then observed Wes and Rui with a smile on his face, watching them unable to do anything but cringe at the noise. “With these earmuffs, I still hear the music, but not as loudly! I’m sorry I had to put you through this, but I’d much rather not go to jail, my darlings. Now, it’s time for me to be off!” With that, Miror B ducked down and ran through the opening leading to freedom with surprising speed. Wes made to follow him, then changed his mind, resuming his previous action of trying to block out the sound from his ears.
XD Good one, Miror B.!
Also, that made me recall just how Miror B. looks when he runs--and how hilarious I think it is when he runs. XD
“No, I won, but he had a trick up his sleeve. Espeon, check if he’s near!” Wes said with a sense of urgency in his voice. Espeon checked quickly with his psychic powers, then shook his head. All in the room fell silent.
“It’s no use…” Wes said quietly a short while later. “He probably got away by now…”
...Either that, or Miror B. was actually still relatively nearby then, but his large amount of hair was temporarily muffling the signal of his brain waves at that time and thereby interfering with Espeon's perception. X3
“Plusle Plusle Plusle!” (Yay you rescued me I’m so happy now I can go home and eat some potatoes!)
XD I love that Plusle's personality.
“There, there, it’s ok,” Rui soothed, kneeling down to scoop up the small Pokemon. Unfortunately, Plusle got a bit ahead of himself, and let loose an excited charge of electricity, which travelled to Rui.
“Arrgh!”
XD
“Plusle Plusle Plusle!” (Hi there you’re a person I like persons I also like potatoes I’m hungry where are they!) he demanded hyperactively.
Again, I love that Plusle's personality. XD
Also, I got a fair bit of amusement from the fact that my mind decided to be silly (...okay, sillier, more like X3) and pose the following question to itself regarding what Plusle said there: What if, when he asked, "I'm hungry where are they?", he was actually referring to persons rather than potatoes? XD
“Hungry, eh? Well, here you go,” Sherles said, handing him a small puff pastry from the tray. Plusle pounced on it excitedly, devouring it while proclaiming its love for pastries.
Does he love devouring pastries as much as he loves devouring
...And does he have a specific fondness for foods that begin with the letter "p", or is that just a coincidence? X3
“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.
XD
“Oh, Miror B got away.” Johnson said quietly. A moment later, he continued. “Is that a good, or a bad thing?”
Johnson amuses me so very much... XD
Sherles went outside for a short moment, before bringing inside an innocent-looking book titled ‘Team Cipher’s guide to being evil and stuff’.
I love the title of that book... X3
“What does the C stand for? Citrus?” Johnson asked.
“Indeed - wait, no, Johnson.” Sherles hurriedly said with more than a hint of annoyance in his voice. “It stands for ‘shut the hell up, you imbecile’!”
“…But that doesn’t start with ‘C’,” Johnson said simply. Sherles sighed, giving up on the lost cause.
JOHNSON AMUSES ME SO VERY MUCH... XDDDD
“Why?” Rui asked.
“Your television interview, of course. You go live in half an hour.”
“WHAT?”
I lliked her reaction there. XD
Today, after having to talk with the fool Gonzap, he had to shout at three separate grunts for incompetence, talk to Ein who was behind on his duties, and he just now had moved into his new office. And the moving part had been no fun at all.
...Upon reading that there, my mind immediately conjured up an image of a couple of grunts trying to carry in a sofa (and doing a rather poor job of it, which is unsurprising since the grunts supplied for this bit of mental cinema by my mind look like they wouldn't even weigh a hundred pounds sopping wet) while Nascour stands aside, pinching the bridge of his nose in exasperation. XD
“Quit with the courtesy, Gonzap,” Nascour snapped. “Tell me what you want to say before you lose your eyebrows - oh, wait, that’s an empty threat,” Nascour added, returning Gonzap’s smile.
X3
“Oh, no real reason - just a hunch. Say, I think it’ll be particularly fun to watch on that high definition television you got there,” Gonzap noted, spotting the object get moved into the room by two Cipher grunts behind Nascour’s scowling face.
...And THAT put an image in my mind of what might happen if those grunts were to accidentally drop that television--suffice it to say, that particular what-if scenario doesn't end any better for the grunts than it does for the television. X3
“Whatever, Gonzap. I swear, the desert is frying your brains. Or, are you a tad jealous maybe? Well, maybe Team Snagem will get a new hideout that’ll keep the sun out of your face. Until you get it blown up again, that is,” Nascour responded, and before Gonzap could reply Nascour cut off the transmission.
OH, SNAP! X3
“Um, yes,” Alex muttered quietly, look down at a sheet of paper. “Despite the recent showers, Orre will be returning to…”
“Camera!” someone hissed from off stage. Startled, Alex looked at the camera for a few seconds, and smiled uneasily.
“Yes, well, Orre would be returning to the typical weather pattern of…” Alex mumbled, before his gave returned to his piece of paper. “Of… torrentially rainfall and destructive storms, briefly interrupted by harsh periods of sunlight… no, wait, that’s Hoenn’s weather forecast,” he said quietly. Sounds of face palms could be heard offstage.
XD
“Weather will be sunny with no rainfall, and hot all round. Pyrite will be very hot and sunny,” Alex continued, pointing at a small blob on the map. “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, before walking off. After a short moment, the camera slowly moved back to an exasperated newsreader.
XDDDD Alex = a very amusing character, in my opinion.
Unfortunately, those people following the coffee crisis in Viridian City will have to wait for updates to that, for we have a breaking news story!
Fwee for the reference to the old man in Viridian and his coffee!
A cheesy and seemingly unnecessary sound effect played following the sentence.
XD I liked that particular detail.
“Here we stand at the scene of this most extraordinary event,” William began.
Oh really? Nascour thought. Someone stubbed their toe or something?
“Like the feeling one gets when they stub their toe in the morning, the people of Pyrite are amazed by the recent happenings that have occurred.”
t was scary, but fun at the same time, but mostly scary! And fun!
XD I liked what Rui said there.
“Madam, what do you think happen to the man called Miror B?”
“Eh? Miror B? Why would I want to buy a Miror B?” the woman shouted angrily. “You stupid salesmen, with your cameras.”
That old lady is awesome, I'd say. XD I'll bet she's often awakened at night by paranoid notions that there are salesmen hiding under the bed and in the closet. X3
“I’s…I’s… I’s a wityness!” he said.
The moment I read that, my face lit up like a frelling Christmas tree because I knew just who it was who had to have said that.
“It’s a me, Tom!”
XD
The stranger’s face contented into a frown of concentration. “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!”
The grunt watching burst into laughter, noticing the bemused look William had as he tried to decipher what Tom was saying.
“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!”
XD AWESOME. I especially love how he said that someone "used win", and also especially love the term "EVERYVERYWHERES". XD
“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!”
LUDIMEFUDILOLOLOLOLOS! XDDDD Oh, my gosh... I think that that's what Ludicolo shall forever be called in my mind from now on. XD
Also, "I dehands respict!" = hilarious, I thought. XD
“ARRGH! HOW COULD THINGS GO SO WRONG SO QUICKLY!” Nascour screamed, hurling the remote at the television, breaking it. Surprised by his actions, Nascour turned around, and pointed an accusing finger at the grunt cipher agent.
“This is all YOUR fault!” he cried.
“But… I didn’t do anything!” he cried. Noticing the look on Nascour’s face though, he quickly slipped away, and closed the door behind him.
I love how Nascour blamed some poor, unfortunate, grunt who had not a darned thing to do with the television being broken for the television being broken. XD And yeah, I imagine that it was indeed wise of that grunt to get the heck out of there and away from Nascour. X3
