The PokéShow Newscast
(The camera turns to Stephen and Pikachu, who are on a different set than usual. Stephen is wearing a newscaster's suit and has a little microphone on his clollar. Pikachu wears a similar suit and a bad toupee.)
Stephen:
Did you have to wear that? It looks like a Eevee died on your head.
Pikachu:
Hey, we're doing a news report here, so I've got to make fun of a newscaster.
Stephen: (rolling his eyes.)
If you insist.
(A Mr. Mime mimes a clock counting down. The "On Air" light goes on. Cheesy music plays and the camera does a sweeping motion across the set. It settles on Stephen and Pikachu.)
Stephen:
Welcome to The PokéReport. I'm Stephen.
Pikachu:
And I'm Pikachu.
Stephen:
In the news today, a Snorlax has settled down for hibernation. Unfortunatly, it did so in the middle of a highway.
Pikachu:
During rush hour,
Stephen:
On top of our Producer's car. Let's go see how that's going.
(Stephen and Pikachu turn to a screen on the wall as a Cubone holding a bone-shaped microphone appears in front of a major traffic jam.)
Pikachu:
How goes it Cubone?
Cubone:
Well, for the past twelve hours, traffic has been pilling up. Our producer is trapped in his car due to the fact that there is a Snorlax on it.
(The camera pans out to show the producer trying to open the door to his car.)
Producer:
Help! Let me out! I have to use the bathroom! I want my Mommy!
Stephen:
Thank you for that report Cubone.
Pikachu:
On a lighter note, The PokéShow has announced a brand new show idea "Bring On The Viewers" where viewers are picked to come onto the show.
Stephen:
However, some of the viewers have been abusing the show's e-mail by sending fake entries.
Pikachu:
Please refrain from sending these. All fake entries will be deleted without a second thought.
Stephen:
Thank you and drive safely.
(The cheesy music plays again and the lights fade.)
Pikachu:
Can we lose the bad music?!
(The music cuts short with a screech.)
Pikachu:
Thank you.
Stephen:
You think we should go try to save the Producer?
(Stephen and Pikachu try to keep straight faces, but then break up laughing.)
Pikachu:
Good one Stephen.
Stephen:
Thanks. C'mon. I've got a lunch date with the network officials. We're going to get sushi.
Pikachu:
Okay, but be careful not to get any wusabi in the sushi. Last time that happened, I was up all night with heartburn. I felt like I swallowed a Charizard.
(Stephen and Pikachu walk off set as the studio lights go out.)
