TRANSMISSION BROADCASTING
There is a Blue haired Girl on the vision. She is slim and wears a shirt on it that says "Pokemon Plateau Master Trainer".
"HELLO NEW CHALLENGER" She shouts. You, have been selected to join the pokemon Plateau, the finest long-term spectator sport in all of the Eight United Regions. This will not only test your skills as a trainer, but allow you to rise to fame and fortune on your pokemon adventures."
"My name is June, but you probably already knew that." She says as she smiles. "However, I don't know if you understand the rules of our competition."
The vision flashes to a map of the island. June's voice comes on again.
"This is the Island of the Pokemon Plateau. Overall in size its about 1/2th of the Kanto Region. You will be competing on a man-made island just east of the Eight United Regions. Once you arrive, you will be given a starter pokemon from a collection of donated pokemon from our sponsor Rocket Medical Group. This is your ticket to join the competition."
The Screen flashes its view over to June. Her smile persists from before.
"So, you may be asking, how do you win. Well, if I told you how to win, then I'd be spoiling the end." June cracks a smirk on her face. "However, I will tell you how you lose. Everytime you compete in a pokemon battle, you are gambling with your pokemon. If your pokemon loses a pokemon battle, your opponent can choose to press their victory and take your pokemon. If the pokemon you have taken is your last pokemon then you are eliminated from the plateau, and your career as a pro is over for good."
The vision changes to a picture of a smartphone-device.
"This is your Plateau Gear, It allows you to access data on matches and tournaments, contact friends, is a pokedex, and has a full functioning map of the island. It is pretty much the ultimate navigation device for the plateau. It's also where you can contact a program known as June A.I., which can help if you need anymore refreshers on the rules of the island"
The vision flashes back to June.
" Thank you Contestant #45312 for signing up to join our plateau. The last thing I need from you is a username to have you registered under. Please tell me what your screen name is now. "
"My name is Untamed Magical" A man responds outside the screen
"Thank you for signing up Untamed Magikarp. Welcome to POKEMON PLATEAU." June responds.
TRANSMISSION ENDING
A boy is lying on his back in an open field. The grass is tall. Aside from him, no one is around. It is quiet. He wears a gray shirt with only 5 numbers upon the shirts torso reading #45312.
An hour passes, he's not asleep but he just lays. Nearly lifeless until a male teen sees his body when he is walking.
"Hey Kid, get up." The teen shouts. The man was tall and husky. Some could question whether his mass was muscle or fat. He had a gray shirt with #45306 printed upon it.
"What's your name RUG." He cockily shouts at the boy laying down. "You gots to have one of those."
The boy remains silent even as the teen continues to shout at him. Until the boy finally breaks.
"Please stop talking to me." the boy had angrily.
"HA, do you think you can get rid of me like that." The man responded. "You probably would be easy prey for me to get my second pokemon from. " The man starts to laugh hysterically.
"Hey, what's your real name anyway, KID. We all gots one of them, don't we. Like, we all go by codenames, but i think the audience is gonna wanna hee ya one at least once before I end ya career."
As the man had taunted, the boy finally sits up.
"Phonies like you don't deserve to even know what my real name is. I could probably beat you easily in a battle." the boy says.
With this spike in confidence the boy quickly ends up going from sitting to standing in just a few seconds. There is a new fiery spirit to him.
"HA HA, so the runt shows some spirit. Took em long enough. So, if I ain't gonna get your real name, what should I call ya RUNT." The man responds with a fire in his voice.
"You can call me UntamedMagical. What should I call you, if your so cocky." the boy responds, with far more confidence than he had before.
"Not as much as a runt as I thought you was, Magical. You can call me EternalLeeroy. So how bouts it. Is a one on one good enough for ya. Or are YA not ready to battle me ." Leeroy responds to Magical.
"I'll fight a fool like you any day, any week. So, how about we begin Leeroy."
"I'm down whenever you are." Leeroy responds. "I challenge you"
"I accept" Untamed says.
Suddenly, both Leeroy and Untamed hear a bell ring from their plateau gear.
"Let the match between EternalLeeroy and UntamedMagikarp begin" June's voice says as it comes from both of their gears.
The battle field falls silent for a solid ten seconds.
"Wait, Wait, Wait…." EternalLeeroy tries to hold himself in from laughing.
"YOUR NAME IS ACTUALLY UNTAMEDMAGIKARP. THAT'S THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE EVER-"
"Let the battle commence" June's voice says from the plateau gear excitedly.
"Shut your mouth Leeroy, you're only stalling because you don't want your life in this game to be ended so soon. " Untamed quickly remarks interrupting Leeroy. "Please, let us start our battle already."
"Let the battle commence" June's voice says from the plateau gear more excitedly.
"I'M SORRY MAGIKARP, IT'S JUST YOUR NAME IS" Leeroy tries to hold it in for a moment. "SO STUPID"
"You know, you're not doing yourself any favors for when I kick you out of the league." Untamed responds.
"ARE YOU A COMEDIAN?" Leeroy shouts as he continues to laugh.
"Well, I know you are, everything you say is a fu-"
" COME ON GUYS, I WANT YOU TO BATTLE" June's voice shreeks out of the plateau gear interrupting Untamed.
"Well, I guess we should get on with this." Untamed says with a sigh.
"AGREED" shouts Leeroy.
"Pokemon, I choose you."
"POKEMON, I CHOOSE YOU"
Leeroy and Untamed shouted in unison. However if someone was watching from about 100 ft away they would probably only hear Leeroy. As the two shout, each one throws their pokeball upon the ground below. Red light darts out of the balls centers upon the field where they are battling and the balls effortlessly return to hand.
The pokemon to emerge from the light are both humanlike in stance. Two hands and feet, a face. Both stand at roughly 2 feet and something inches.
"Machop!"
"Croagunk"
The two pokemon managed to shout upon emerging. There is an eagerness to fight upon both pokemon's faces.
"SOOO," shouts Leeroy.
"Yeah?" responds Untamed.
" Which of these pokemon is YOURS?"
"Wait, you don't know which of these pokemon is your own. I thought you already battled on the plateau?"
"NOPE" Leeroy cockily shouts.
"You know, we should probably check our plateau gears." Untamed says as he takes his gear out and turns it on.
Upon launching there's a menu with about 6 buttons. Plateau League,Pokemon,Communications, Navigation, Settings and June A.I.
Untamed presses the pokemon button and the plateau gear transforms into a large screen with a camera. It looks as if its an augmented reality, where above each pokemon the pokemon's name is shown and the trainer's name is shown. As he looks through the Gear he notices the UntamedMagikarp name over machop.
"Okay Leeroy, I think Croagunk is yours and Machop is mine." Untamed says.
"Thanks for the info Magikarp, you know I'm surprised your pokemon isn't a-"
"A Magikarp, very funny Leeroy." Untamed sarcastically remarks. "Now can I actually kick your butt.
"SOUNDS TO BE ABOUT THAT TIME" Leeroy Shouts. "Croagunk CHARGE Machop"
"Machop, stay in a defensive stance, be ready when he comes." Untamed responds.
As Croagunk begins to charge Machop, Machop remains in a defensive position waiting for his arrival as it ever veers closer.
"Machop, Low Kick!." Untamed shouts with a fire in his voice.
The Kick lands on Croagunk at almost perfect timing as Croagunk hits the floor within a second.
"WAIT WHAT!" Leeroy says. "Croagunk, use poison sting when he comes close.
"Machop use Karate Chop, Now."
As the two pokemon race to land their strikes, the two hands clash in the battle and bounce off of eachother.
"That's the spirit!, Croagunk stand up QUICKLY." Leeroy shouts
"Machop, karate chop him, NOW"
As Croagunk starts standing up he is faced with machop's hand about to hit him. Croagunk swiftly uses his hands and clamps down on Machop's hand.
"Machop,LOW KICK NOW"
Machop swings his left leg at Croagunk's feet and knocks him airborne and only hanging on from Machop's clamped hand.
"Croagunk, DON'T LET GO" Leeroy shouts.
"Machop, Karate Chop him one more time"
As Croagunk goes airborne, machop slams his other hand right into Croagunk's torso and sends him sliding off of Machop's hand and into the grass.
"HANG IN THERE CROAGUNK" Leeroy shouts.
Croagunk is panting as it stands. Sweat starts dripping down his face from his cheeks. It's knees
Start to bend in.
"Machop, prepare to rush it and karate chop."
As croagunk continues trying to hold a collapse in, defeat creeps up as if it was inevitable.
"HANG ON, don't let yourself get beaten by A MAGIKARP" Leeroy Shouts.
"Machop, finish him"
As machop starts to rush in, Croagunk starts to collapse in on itself. His knees hit the floor, followed by his upper body flipping down face first.
"Congratulations UntamedMagikarp, you have defeated EternalLeeroy" June's voice says as it projects through both Untamed and Leeroy's plateau gears.
Leeroy falls to the floor knees first. His body seems lifeless compared to the energy it used to have.
"This…. Is my end then" He whimpers out loud. It is not vibrant with enthusiasm like it normally is.
"CONGRATULATIONS UNTAMED MAGIKARP!" June's voice pretty much screams out of Untamed's plateau Gear. "Turn me on!"
"Turn me on"
"Turn me on" June's voice seems to be stuck in a loop coming from the gear. As if the message was pre recorded.
"Turn me on"
As this is going down Untamed hasn't reacted much at all to winning the match. He body, while not as defeated as Leeroy, seems to be unfocused.
"Untamed, I think she wants you to turn on your plateau gear." Leeroy says.
It takes a few seconds before Untamed even responds.
"Oh, I should probably do that."
Untamed takes the gear out of his pocket and presses the power button on the gear.
"HELLO UNTAMEDMAGIKARP" June's voice immediately shouts from the gear." You have defeated EternalLeeroy in battle, and you now have to make a choice. "
The Screen on his gear flashes from june to a menu with two buttons.
June continues saying. "You can choose to, PRESS YOUR VICTORY on EternalLeeroy, and take his Croagunk as your own. Thus eliminating him from Pokemon Plateau. Then you get Croagunk as your very own pokemon. But you can also not press your victory, then EternalLeeroy will keep his pokemon and remain in the competition. This choice is up to you. HAVE FUN!"
"So, this is my end." EternalLeeroy mutters. "I just KNOW that my time is about to come to a close here. I had a good fight with you Magikarp."
Untamed stares at the screen. You know Leeroy, I've had a fun time too. Enjoy the other side.
Untamed Taps the screen.
"Hey, Leeroy, it's been a good game. I hope to fight you again sometime." Untamed says with a smirk on his face.
"UntamedMagikarp!" June says with the same infectious energy in her voice.
"GOOD GAME WIMP!" Leeroy shouts. Leeroy begins to sweat on his body. His heart rate starts to rise.
"You have decided not to press your claim on EternalLeeroy. Therefore, HE REMAINS A COMPETITOR IN THE PLATEAU!" June shouts.
Those words hit with the impact of an avalanche. The ever rising heartbeat of Leeroy just halts. One could say that the seconds after had seemingly halted.
And then Leeroy collapses to the ground.
"GOODBYE" Leeroy shouts.
Untamed walks up to the collapsed body of Leeroy.
"Hey, Leeroy. Ummmmmm I actually didn't take your pokemon. You are still in this game."
The awkwardness of the situation takes a few seconds to get to Leeroy.
"WAIT, WHAT" Leeroy shouts and springs right back up on to his own two feet. "For a second there I thought I was a goner.
"Nope" Untamed responds. "You are alive. Hey, mind if I ask you a couple of questions?"
"Ummmm, SURE"
"Do you remember any bits of your life before joining this show?"
There's a moment of silence as puzzlement reaches Leeroy's face.
"Now, that you mentioned it…. I don't." Leeroy responds with confusion.
" It's honestly weird, I know what a pokemon is, I know what a game show is, but I can't remember any of the details beyond what these concepts are. I remember the motions but not the details. I don't even know if I've ever owned a Machop in my life." Untamed's voice fires up more as he continues to talk.
"But what I do know is that my heart inside of me says to not take your pokemon, as you don't deserve to be knocked out of this competition. You deserve to live. You deserve to help me create a name for good people in this world where those who are innocent get knocked out so soon." Untamed had ended his words with a fiery passion inside of his voice. It through his words had escalated to near shouting levels.
A few more seconds of quiet emulate from the field of which their battle had just happened.
"Now Leeroy, do you want to help me on my journey. "
Leeroy, who was normally boastful and loud was notably silent. Surprisingly, he had listened to every word Untamed had said. Finally he began to speak.
"Magikarp, I will follow you to the ends of this game. You have spared me. I have your back."
"Thanks Leeroy, now it's time to go to Plateau City."
The two companions begin to walk to Plateau City and start the journey of a lifetime together.
YOUR PROGRAM HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED
"Do not daze off viewer." A mysterious voice says.
"I need to have your attention, because my career and life may be on the line sneaking this out there to you. My name is Riku. I am one of the producers behind Pokemon Plateau. I can't warn you of much, especially during the normal broadcast of the show. However I would advise you to pay close attention, because this is a glimpse you wont get during Oda's normal broadcast. Please watch the following clip with caution.

"What do we do with her sir, she knows too much about the rules of the plateau."
"If we can't let her back to the real world, let's put her inside the plateau, that way, she'll be kept from the viewers."
"Got it. However it feels like a sabotaging move to place a well known figure inside of the Plateau like this, do you think the players will catch on."
"Not with our software. We can mask her looks and even potentially her get her inside."
"Okay then sir I'll put &UN$ inside of the Plateau."
"You better get this d neR #%^&*^&$%^*&**
