First review EVAH! All I can say has already been said already so all I'm going to say is, BACON!!!!!!!!!!! XD
The tune to play to summon the Celebi is ‘I’ve Got a Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts’'
“Espeon... Espi?” (Celebi – a legendary Psychic Pokemon! But... who’s heard of a world without Pokemon?)
“Umbreon?” (How could anyone live in such a place?)
“Now, I don’t really do these sorts of things, normally,” Wes began, “but I really don’t have time for this right now. “ With that, Wes stood up again and struck his leg out, punting the surprised Spheal across the cave.
Wes stared once more at the white-bodied Pokemon that possessed a green, mushroom-shaped head that looked as big as the rest of its body, and laughed.
These Cipher people are pushovers...it’s the size of my shoe!
“Hiya!” the man said, stepping forward and grabbing Wes’s hand, shaking it. “I’m Enpea Sea!”
“Umm...go, Pikachu!” Eagun said, as he reached into his beard, pulled a surprised Pikachu out, and threw it at Skrub.
“Anything useful in there, or just gibberish about how the Relic Stone is actually a stone, chiselled by some nobody?”
“Well, admittedly, some of this info seems to be bogus... like for instance...” Rui said, flipping over some pages before seemingly finding what she was looking for. “‘Useless Fact 797: The Relic Stone can also be used as a football!’”
Wes blinked at Rui. “Am I just still too sleepy, or was the writer just a bit... eccentric?”
Rui laughed sadly, before continuing on. “‘Useless Fact 798: It’s just a stone. Useless Fact 799: You didn’t make it!’” Rui said, turning the page. “‘Useless fact 800: This is... the 800th fact about the Relic Stone!’” she read, before grimacing.
“Not quite, though, Wes,” Rui said, turning to the back of the book. “There actually is something of note written here, on some page titled ‘Give me money’...”
“Umbre...re...eon!” (Wazza...what’s that....arrgh!) Umbreon shouted as he opened his eyes, only to be greeted by the sight of Eagun’s face and beard.
“Can’t you read?” Eagun asked, disappointed over the lack of reaction. Before Umbreon or Espeon could protest, he started waving the newspaper. “I tell you what cooks my goose – newspaper headlines! It says right here ‘Specialist Claims Electric Chair Can Be ‘Extremely Painful’’! Whoever came up with the idea for an electric chair if it’s so painful then? And who needs different kinds of chairs anyway? What next, thermal chairs? Nuclear chairs? I won’t be able to decide which chair to sit in then!”
“But look at this ad right here! It’s RIDICULOUS! They need to make some sign-making course! Now I at least know how to make a sign! Just look at the ones at the entrance of this town!”
“...You made those signs?” Wes asked.
“Yes. Impressive, aren’t they? The ones they tried to put up instead were terrible. Now a stop sign – that’s a sign with oomph!”
“The tune to play to summon the Celebi is ‘I’ve Got a Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts’'... wait, it suddenly went weird again...” Rui said. “Why that song?”
“It says some other stuff here too...such as that Celebi can also travel into other worlds – ones that don’t have any Pokemon in them? I think that’s still the random ramblings though.”
“Espeon... Espi?” (Celebi – a legendary Psychic Pokemon! But... who’s heard of a world without Pokemon?)
“Umbreon?” (How could anyone live in such a place?)
“But that sounds too ridiculous,” Wes protested. “I mean, Celebi? That’s...” Wes searched for words, but struggled. “It’s...super-duper rare! More rare than a... talking Meowth!”
“I know, but it states here that this information comes from bulbap-”
First review EVAH! All I can say has already been said already so all I'm going to say is, BACON!!!!!!!!!!! XD
But it does!Because the moon doesn't have cheese or potatoes.
As I mentioned to you before, I take the weight of Spheal in the Pokedex to be merely an average weight given - this Spheal being significantly smaller than the rest (or rather, just a particularly young one), Wes would have an easier time to kick it. That, and I'm not about to let the facts get in the way of punting Spheal. =P Yeah, lazy excuse. =PThis doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Spheal is about 87 pounds. Ah, heck, still funny anyhow.
Whee, cheers for picking up on that.A few problems in this paragraph. There's an extra quotation mark. The semi-colon should be a comma methinks. And I don't think only's the right word.
I' not paying you for the cameo, btw.OH YEAH DRAMATIC MUSIC I MAKE A HALF-CAMEO.
Cheers once again, DM. I'll forgive you for playing Platinum while reading for it is good fun. =PWell I have nothing serious to say but EPIC WINZ0RZ, and that isn't really serious.
Great job, even though I was half-distracted coz I was playing Platinum while reading XD
Still, it having my attention even at such a position says something. =P
Can't wait for the next chapter, dude. =D
Not in today's day and age- wait, did you say 'small children'?Dangit, when will people learn that others' lawns are to be treated with respect and not trodden all over like small children?
...Did I say "small children"? Ah. What I really meant there was "small children".
They are indeed awesome things.And there was a wynaut in that chapter, at which I must say "d'aww". I like those things. ^^
Fwee for catching it!Fwee for that reference. ^^
TBH I was wondering if someone would say that. XDLook on the bright side, Eagun--at least it makes your special defense higher than it might have been otherwise!
Really? Hurrah then, I guess.o_o; Wow. Somehow I never thought I'd view a hitmontop as creepy, but that bolded bit right there succeeded in making me do just that.
I suppose I must investigate this Dynamite Headdy... (Heady?)Yet another one of those things that's especially funny out of context. XD
Also, I find myself reminded by that quote of this one part in Dynamite Headdy... except there's only one angry, upside-down (well, sort of) thing trying to kill you there, and he's only angry and upside-down (again, sort of) part of the time. He is basically trying to kill you the entire time, though. :3
Eh, I don't feel it's that necessary to go to such depth and incorporate dex entries from games, especially as there's other ways to represent stuff, I feel... =/I think you have to change this part to fit with its Ruby Pokédex entry.
From the beginning? Eh, if you want XD Cheers for reading and commenting though - glad you like it.This fic is
AWESOME
because it is
AWESOME
so it should be said that this fic is
AWESOME
because it is.
Seriously.
I've been reading it for a while back, even before I joined the Serebii forums. And the delicious combination of humor and awesome makes me want to read the whole thing from the start.
*goes back to beginning*
Thanks - hope you continue to enjoy it and my random additions. =)Wow. This is really great writing. I really enjoy some the details you added to Colloseum. One of my favorite things that you added to it was the additional information on Miror B.
Keep up the great work!
Cheers as well - I had fun righting the Pikachu-in-beard part. XDVery funny chapter, bobandbill!
I think my favorite part was when Eagun just chucked his own Pikachu at Skrub's face. WATCH OUT FOR THE PIKA MISSILE!!!!
Sorry, I had more sugar again.
Can't wait for the next one!
5/5! Keep it up!!
To be honest I can't remember if I added that in during a lazy chapter edit or not... good pick either way though. =DWow, this is probably the best thing I've read in a month or so. :]
Anyway, it's really good, and the jokes just keep coming...I have to say, I was hooked by the Monty Python reference in, I think, the first chapter? I'm still surprised I haven't seen anything talking about that.
Thanks for that. =D Espeon and Umbreon also wish to express their thanks. =PI've really enjoyed this so far. I can't wait to read the rest of it.
My favorite characters are Espeon and Umbreon. The pair are so enjoyable to read about
Keep up the great work.
Yay, another fan of Fire Emblem. =D Added to the PM list, and that's an interesting hypothesis of the ending there... XD Who knows?I've been reading this over the last couple of days, and I have just one thing to say.
Bravo. It seems as though your characters are just MADE of win, particularly Tom (if he doesn't show up again, I will be very, very sad...), and the sheer unrated awesomeness of Makuhita and Yanma. I have to say though, it really seems like you're downplaying Umbreon, which I think is a shame. Compared to Espeon, he has very few lines, and seems to have a much smaller role in the plot. He is Wes' trusted friend, same as Espeon, and it just feels like there should be more of him, and his bacon-loving ways.
My favourite chapter? 13. Seriously, I was laughing my arse off the whole way through it, particularly at the references. I can totally picture Makuhita wielding Ragnell, facing off against the Black Knight... Hey, he has more personality than Ike anyway. Yes, I'm a Fire Emblem fanboy. So sue me.
I can totally guess how this ends, by the way. I am PSYCHIC.
Ho-Oh drops a giant pineapple on Evice as he tries to escape from Realgam Tower. Duh.
Am I good or what? Anyway, please add me to the PM list.
Son_of_Shadows, OUT!!
I'm guessing you liked Umbreon's liking for bacon... it is a likeable food-stuff, I agree.First review EVAH! All I can say has already been said already so all I'm going to say is, BACON!!!!!!!!!!! XD
Thanks muchly. Good to see you came out of the closet. =)^Uh, random?
Anyway, been a closet reader for ages, and I would like to say very well done. I love the personality you put into the Pokémon characters.
Keep up the good work, I can't wait for the next chapter.
Hurrah!It's a stone, Luigi! You didn't make it!
*cough* i got the reference *cough*
Replaying Colosseum, huh? Have fun with that. (Or, hope you had fun with that. =P) Thanks for your thoughts- much appreciated. =D BTW that's an awesome Umbreon there in your sig. =DI started reading this a few weeks ago, and decided to post now that I've caught up. Its an amazing story, very very funny. Somehow, I can imagine their characters being like that, especially Rui and Umbreon. Makuhita wins as Ike, for sure. In my head, I thought of Feraligatr as Pit x3 But anyways, I started replaying the game becuase of this fic. Good job I'm looking forward to the next chapter!
Put me on the PM list as well~
Done and done. But a professional comedian? The only kind of those are the stand-up variety, and I like sitting down. -_-ROFLMAO! Oh my god, your fic is the best I've ever read. You could be a professional comedian with this kind of material.
Please add me to the PM list.
I need to write more often. -_-Aargh - sorry, I didn't even realize there was another chapter up. I really need to check more often.
But you just did. =PNo comment.
I don't mind them that much, actually, and some are pretty cool. They just happen to be more puntable than non-cute Pokemon. =PYou really must not like cute Pokemon. D: Oddly enough, Spheal was the last Pokemon I caught before reading this.
I find Voltorb more effective. Really catches them off guard, until they explode in the opponent's face.That is now officially the #1 use for Pikachu. And the best way of starting a battle.
Thanks, and added.hey add me to the pm list please. i've read through all the posted chapters and its hilarious....i must say bravo...keep up the good work.
Thanks for the review,and the interesting demand. I shall have to address that sooner or later, certainly...Excellent work. I've never really played Colosseum, so I don't the basic storyline of the game, but I'm liking it so far! I wonder what the final battle will be like...
And also, why is it that in Colosseum, you always have to do a double battle? I know use start with two Pokemon, but what about people who only have one? Is it some sort of rule?
Thanks for reading, and replying. =)I love this story, it's -very- well done. You have a great skill for characterizing the Pokemon. And Johnson's Magikarp-- WIN. XD
*subscribes to thread*
Thanks for registering just to comment. =D And for mentioning your favourite parts. Have fun annoying those other people. =PHey, I got an account here just so I could post on this one thread...
I pulled an all-nighter just reading all 14 chapters you had written up to this point, and it has been fun! And I mean that in the best possible way... Tom's rants are crazy fun to try to read out loud, Miror B.'s overall treatment was pretty sweet (I myself preferred his Gale of Darkness theme, though; I thought the salsa one from Colosseum was a bit cheesy; mmmm, salsa con queso), the torture scene was funny, in a morbid sort of way, and nice Bill Cosby reference in Chapter 13, by the way!
That and the absolute hilarity that is the PKMN (nobody taught me how to make accented characters, so I'm not going to try) themselves, as well as everyone's slapstick interactions with Johnson, are all I'm going to gush with praise about, for now...
I should probably annoy someone else now; keep up the good work!
Indeed I didn't. D=It's a football! I chiseled it.
It's a stone. You didn't make it!
*ponders*... no. =P Cheers for telling me your favourite parts of the chapter though, despite the lack of money. =PMay I have some of that money?
Ye know too much.THE INFO IS A LIE! THE INFO IS A L-*shot*
Thanks. As for an XD fic... I'm going to worry about whether I'll do that or not once I have this one done. =P Needless to say, haven't started that yet.uh, ok???
omg loved reading this (and i generally hate reading), ur a gr8 writer, loved espeon and umbreon's personalities and the fact u made them characters in their own rights and if u havnt done so already, a remake of XD would be amazing too.
“Croc-Fe, Feraligatr,” (Jumbo jets- err, I mean, I said I was sorry, you old slowcoach,) Feraligatr replied with a grin after mixing up his words.
“True, true,” Wes pondered. “Oh hey, it’s Yanma,” he added, spotting Yanma’s tail poking out of a bin.
“Yanyanyanyanmamamamama!” (Oh-dear-I’m-stuck-oh-well-it-was-tasty-coffee-hey-look-a profiterole!) the Yanma squealed nonsensically inside. Wes grabbed his Pokeball and recalled the nuisance,
“Whatever,” Eagun said, as Rui returned the Pokemon to their Pokeballs and handed them to the assistant behind a counter. “We drove that nasty lot out of town, at any rate. Some are now busy retrieving their Pikachu – a good dozen or so ended up in a tree, it appears – and some are tending to Duncan’s poor, poor lawn. Those flowers... they’ll never be the same,” Eagun sniffed.
“...There there,” Wes consoled Eagun uneasily.
“I could help!” Eagun offered, smiling brightly.
“Oh... well, a while back we had a few problems. There were these two Pokemon, you see, who weren’t getting along with each other.”
“I see – just trying to keep the Pokemon happy, fair enough,” Rui said.
“No, there’s more... the next morning when I went to check on them there were a number of strange oval-shaped rocks about the place. Most unusual.”
“Odd. Do you know where they came from?”
“No, but this phenomenon only happens when we have more than one Pokemon with us. We even had one of them sent to this really fancy-pants professor. Elm or something. He seemed confused by it too, though when we told him about it so he got started on examining it... and then that story started about how he went insane, so we never found out about his findings. ”
You’re kidding me, Wes thought. Clearly those were eggs, and this eluded a Pokemon Professor? I’m betting he realised though when it hatched, and… that’s what made him go crazy, like those newspapers had reported? Oh boy.
“We had to have the owners of the Pokemon take them away because the neighbours started complaining. Something about how they can’t sleep at night and that the rocks were too spotty for their liking.” The Day-Care woman shrugged. “It gives a bad reputation for some reason, so it’s a new rule. It's along with the 'No giving the Pokemon candy' , and the 'Strictly, under no circumstances, are Wailord allowed' rule.”
“Yeah,” Eagun interjected. “We never could figure out where those rocks came from. The best theory going around is that they came from Clefairy from the moon. I don’t really like that idea, but then again, you just can’t trust those Clefairy. Crafty buggers, they are.”
Wes facepalmed himself, groaning slightly. What’s wrong with this entire region? It’s like they all swallowed daft pills at birth or something...
“It’s one of two mysteries this town has,” Eagun continued.
“Oh? What’s the other one?” Rui asked.
“The Pikachu, of course. It was some time after another bunch of those rocks appeared – only one day, they were gone, and all of these Pichu were running about eating all of the trees, or so the story goes. And that’s why we have so many Pikachu now.”
“Any idea where they came from?” Rui asked. Eagun shook his head.
“Wes... are you alright?” Rui asked, noticing Wes continueto facepalm himself some more while muttering a word to himself with each one.
“Why. Is. Everyone. So... oh... um, never mind, I’m just...tired,” Wes said tiredly, giving up.
“I know what it is!” Rui shouted. “Sorry,” she added, seeing Wes wince once more at her shouting at his ear. “But it was in this book, remember?” She quickly turned a couple of pages, before reading.
“‘According to ancient lore, the Relic Stone holds blah blah...It is said that Celebi can blah blah blah...’ basically purify Pokemon, I suppose, like the Relic Stone... Ah, here we go. ‘To meet it however, you must use an item called the ‘Time Flute’ which is all that one needs to bring Celebi to the Relic Forest.’”
“So they mean to take the item which can summon Celebi,” Wes concluded. “Well, that sucks.”
“DISHWASHERS! BUY ONE AND GET ONE AT A SLIGHTLY REDUCED PRICE!” it blazed, as the radio also came back on.
“Árrgh!” Wes cried, covering his ears. “I forgot about that...”
“DISHWASHERS! IF YOU HAVENT BOUGHT ONE YET, YOU MUST BE MAD! MAYBE NOT AS MAD AS THE MAD HATTER BECAUSE HE’S JUST MAD! BUT YOU’LL BE CRAZY NOT TO BUY OUR CHICKEN-FLAVOURED DISHWASHERS!”
PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF THE PLATFORMS – NO RUNNING OR BREAKDANCING PERMITTED
BE CAREFUL NOT TO LET YOUR POKEMON FALL DOWN – HAVE YOUR POKEBALLS AT THE READY SO YOU CAN RECALL THEM
Thinking about how the platforms stay up in the air is severely discouraged.
“Umb, Umbreon...” (I’m sorry, my mind already broke...) Umbreon said, gazing at the infrastructure and then at the gray, jagged rocks of Mt Battle below them.
“Espeon,” (Even this confuses me...) Espeon admitted, before they continued forward after Dakim, who was currently talking to the man on the first spacious platform.
“If you’re not, then show me your moves!” Dakim challenged. As the boy looked back at Dakim blankly, Dakim suddenly brought his fist back, and threw it forward.
“You’re too slow! Out of my way! DAKIM PAWWUNCH!” Dakim yelled, connecting with his punch before running onwards.
“DAKIM KICK!” Dakim shouted, this time kicking the person.
Squarely in the face.
“YES!” Dakim said, proud of his strength, moving onwards as the other man fell down, luckily staying on his platform as well.
“Umbreon,” (Man, imagine if I dropped an egg off from here,) Umbreon muttered.
“Esp.” (Shut up.)
“Umbreon, umb-” (But seriously, if I dropped an egg from here, it’d just go ‘SPLAT’, just like that-)
“Espeon! Esp!” (I said SHUT UP! Or you’ll go splat!) Espeon warned.
END CHAPTER YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
“Umb, Umbreon...” (I’m sorry, my mind already broke...) Umbreon said, gazing at the infrastructure and then at the gray, jagged rocks of Mt Battle below them.
Should be "continue to."“Wes... are you alright?” Rui asked, noticing Wes continueto facepalm himself some more while muttering a word to himself with each one.
Not sure if you did this on purpose, but it should be "It's early, and I'm tired..."“Me too,” Rui said, yawning louder. “It’s tired, and I’m early...”
Shouldn't have an accent over the a.“Árrgh!” Wes cried, covering his ears. “I forgot about that...”
“Yanyanyanyanmamamamama!” (Oh-dear-I’m-stuck-oh-well-it-was-tasty-coffee-hey-look-a profiterole!)
Awesome face!“Actually, maybe you should take a look at the grounds for yourself? We’re also a certified Day Care service. It’s got a stamp and everything,” she added, pulling out a piece of paper. Wes glanced at it – it had the words ‘Day Care Service No 34’, and a stamp with the word ‘APPROVED’ encircling an awesome face.
=O Eagun, you're a freaking genius!“We could always build a fort,” Eagun suggested.
“Out of what?” Wes countered, still waiting for a connection with Sherles.
“Good question... the Pikachu, maybe?”
I'll never look at the story of Noah's Ark the same way again.“Then he used his fight money to buy two of every animal,” Dakim continued, grabbing two small rocks and miming them as animals. “And then he put them on a boat, and then he beat the heck out of them, man!”
I have to admit it, but Space Saxophone is WAY cooler sounding than Time Flute.“Good point. I’m...going to have to demote you now. Sorry. Now about our plan... Oh, I know. How about this – you go in, and start attacking people with your Pokemon, and I’ll go in and punch stuff, man! Then I’ll find that guy and get that Space Saxophone off of him, and we’ll go back!”
Tomorrow, I'm gonna go to school and sing that nonstop, it's that awesome.Suddenly, another group emerged behind the charity group, also clad in purple, singing a chant as they approached.
“We are Cipher, we are here, something something we like beer! Gonna go kick up a fuss, all your base are belong to us...” they sung, before trailing off into silence, noticing the Police force.
DIE!“Aha! Some action! I always like a good fight,” he bellowed, before using the cactus like a baseball bat, hitting the Growlithe into the air back the way it came, as it yelped in surprise.
No longer do you have to put up with bland-flavored dishwashers, with our new, patented, Chicken-Flavored Dishwashers!“DISHWASHERS! IF YOU HAVENT BOUGHT ONE YET, YOU MUST BE MAD! MAYBE NOT AS MAD AS THE MAD HATTER BECAUSE HE’S JUST MAD! BUT YOU’LL BE CRAZY NOT TO BUY OUR CHICKEN-FLAVOURED DISHWASHERS!”
DAKIM PAWWUNCH! > FALCON PAWWUNCH!“You’re too slow! Out of my way! DAKIM PAWWUNCH!” Dakim yelled, connecting with his punch before running onwards.
I didn't know Spiderman even existed in the Pokemon world. You learn something new every day.“Great, it turns out we’re chasing after Spiderman,” Wes commented dryly.
while the others had trouble fighting back, while the others had trouble fighting back as the heat generated by the group made it nigh impossible for a direct approach to be made.
“DISHWASHERS! IF YOU HAVENT BOUGHT ONE YET, YOU MUST BE MAD! MAYBE NOT AS MAD AS THE MAD HATTER BECAUSE HE’S JUST MAD! BUT YOU’LL BE CRAZY NOT TO BUY OUR CHICKEN-FLAVOURED DISHWASHERS!”
“You’re too slow! Out of my way! DAKIM PAWWUNCH!”
The best theory going around is that they came from Clefairy from the moon. I don’t really like that idea, but then again, you just can’t trust those Clefairy. Crafty buggers, they are.”
“We could always build a fort,” Eagun suggested.
“Out of what?” Wes countered, still waiting for a connection with Sherles.
“Good question... the Pikachu, maybe?”
“We’re a fundraising group for charity! We sell cookies!” she added, waving boxes in the air clearly marked ‘Cookies – Buy One To Raise Funds For The Defenceless Magikarp’ in large letters.
“We are Cipher, we are here, something something we like beer! Gonna go kick up a fuss, all your base are belong to us...” they sung, before trailing off into silence, noticing the Police force.
“Oi! You need to register before going there! Why the hell did you break our door? We paid good money to have that installed, you know!” the nurse snapped. “Get back here, you deaf oaf! No cactuses are allowed – it’s against the rules!”

He had faith in his Pokemon, and although he had gotten into a few street fights years before, he knew that he stood as much chance beating Dakim in a fight as a Sunkern with paralysis had against an army of Crobat whose sole purpose in life were to beat up Sunkern.
