Pokemon Idol!

A/N: If I owned Pokemon or any of these songs, I would be rich and famous and would publish a book instead of writing on FanFiction. Flames are welcome as long as they're in reviews. Also, for the record, this isn't just songs. It has funny dialogue as well, so don't hit the back button just yet. A shorter song would probably be a funny one, so check out the lyrics just in case. Especially the short ones. R&R and vote!

I actually do own a few songs. The ones with the stars in the first line of the lyrics my friends and me do, in fact, own.

As the camera from the back of the studio drew into the poorly lighted stage, a single spotlight shown on a Pachirisu. She had a microphone tucked neatly in her white paws, a pink tiara signifying her singing career, and a frilly pink bow on her tail.

"Hello, humans and Pokemon alike! We're here to show you the best and worst viewing segments you could ever see! We call it, Pokemon Idol! I'm your adorable and always happy host, Pachirisu! I have no criminal record, I promise! I'm here because I won last year's idol!"

A man's voice echoed around the quiet studio. "There was no 'last year's idol!'"

Pachirisu's adorable face turned angry, and she grabbed a viewer's popcorn right out of the crowd and chucked it at the man. "SHUT IT!!!"

"Ow!" he said. A Girafarig stood up and rubbed his eye with a hoof. "My eye!"

Recovering her lost politeness, Pachirisu's smile returned as she fluffed out her fur. "I apologize for that short interruption," she said in her sweet, bell-toned voice. "We'll be continuing now. These are my always reliable and never a pain co-hosts, Cherrim and the always sexy Grovile!"

Cherrim looked sweetly and happily out into the crowd. "Hello, hello! I was a runner-up in last year's idol!"

All the men fainted.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Grovile. I was also a runner-up," Grovile said, his voice cool and calm.

All the women fainted.

"Yep, they just never get old with the sexiness…and, and the fainting…" Pachirisu laughed with obvious jealously in her voice. "Remember me? Pachirisu? The winner?"

Some Kricketot started to talk about how awesome Grovile looked.

"Cut it out, Kricketot!"

It stopped.

"Well then…" Pachirisu grumbled. "Allow me to introduce our contestants! Trapinch!"

The spotlight, much to Pachirisu's disliking, moved away from her and onto Trapinch. "Hello, great to be here! I just flew in from a hole in the earth and boy, are my arms broken!"

Aside from his lame joke, Trapinch received many cheers. Pachirisu signaled for the spotlight and the camera to move back on her. At once, the cheering stopped.

Before Pachirisu could announce the next contestant, the spotlight moved away from her once again and onto Cherrim.

"Our next contestant is the guitarist, Pikachu, and his band of the drummer, Turtwig, and the bass player, Piplup!"

Pikachu grabbed the microphone on the stand he had sternly recommended, claiming the introduction "would be good for his band's image."

"I'm here to bring that good old rock and roll you all love!" Pikachu screamed. Everyone covered his or her ears as the microphone screeched. After this, the viewers all cheered louder than they did Trapinch.

"May the beat move your soul and keep you rocking until you can't rock any longer!" Turtwig shouted. More cheering.

"WORLD PEACE!" Piplup yelled into the microphone.

Nothing.

In the midst of the silence, the back of the studio was full of whispering.

"Get the camera back on her!"

"Take it away, hurry up!"

"No, no, put it on Grovile!"

"I need a drink…"

Finally, the awkward moment was over and the spotlight shown on Grovile. He used the light to his advantage very well. He moved in such a way to show off his beautiful leafy fans. All the females and even some of the male cheered all while he was speaking.

"Our next contestant, the lovely Mawile!" he shouted rather quietly and smoothly.

Mawile stood quiet proudly on the stages. The cheering at once stopped. Mawile looked angry.

It sure is a good thing these viewer jerks agreed to cheer for me in trade for these idiotic backstage passes they hand out for getting in. How lame. Mawile thought to herself.

The cheering rose right back up again. Cherrim shot Pachirisu a confused glance, and Pachirisu shrugged, but smiled. It was finally her turn to get the spotlight back on her again, and the next contestants were her favorites.

But unfortunately for her, the spotlight moved back onto Cherrim again.

"Hey, what's the big, fat idea? I thought I was the host! These guys are the co-hosts, co-hosts!" Pachirisu yelled, jumping up and down.

Cherrim smiled her sweet smile she was famous for. "I have the utmost pleasure to introduce our favorite, favorite contestants, Plusle and Minun as a pair!" she said with a happy ring in her voice.

The crowd, this time, didn't cheer for Cherrim, but the complete and utter awesomeness that this magical and stupendous pair contained. As the spotlight hit them, they both leaned to opposite sides of each other with their arms locked and one foot kicked up in the air. They both gave the viewers their best "show business" smile. The crowd went wild for their sheer talent, charm, and grace on the stage.

"Wow…" Pachirisu murmured under her breath, taking in the cheers of the crowd.

"That's so not fair!" Mawile pouted. "They got a cheerier cheer than I did!"

The spotlight switch back to Grovile, as Pachirisu's shouts about lethal force fired up in the background. "Now…" Grovile said calmly, winking at his fangirls. "I'd like to welcome the charming Jigglypuff!"

The crowd's screeches started back up again. Jigglypuff got the spotlight, and waved at them all. "I love seeing all of your bright and smiling faces!" Jigglypuff said, beaming with pride.

Finally, the spotlight moved back to Pachirisu, signifying the introductions were complete. Alas, Pachirisu wasn't happy yet, because of what she had to say for the time that she did have the spotlight.

"Alrighty-O. I'll hand it over to Cherrim and Grovile to explain the rules," she grumbled, losing her happy, eager personality.

"Thank you, thank you, Pachirisu!" Cherrim giggled. "Come on now, just because we're loved by all doesn't mean you're not loved too! We still love you!"

"Humph."

Grovile ignored them. "Each Pokemon will sing to his or her choice of songs. You, the FanFiction readers, will vote for who moves on. We must ask all of you, however, that you enter the name of the person you do NOT want to win. We are voting against people, not for them."

Cherrim jumped out of her seat, letting her hyperactive instinct take over. "We're not, not going easy on you if you vote for people! Vote against them! It makes life a whole, whole lot easier for the person counting the votes! That'd be Pachirisu."

"Humph."

"Pachirisu will die if you don't listen!" Cherrim yelled, absolutely serious.

"Actually," Grovile corrected. "She'll just count your vote against that person and move on."

"The winner moves on the next season, and the loser sucks like garbage!" Cherrim continued. "We will also have pointless games being played in-between songs! Back over to you, Pachirisu!"

"Thanks, I think," Pachirisu said, trying to get back into TV mode. At once, she smiled again. "First up is…"

A loud crash was heard in the back.

"I'm here, I'm here!"

"But we never…"

"Can it, gramps, I got that spot fair and square!"

"Miss, you need to…"

"I said shut up!"

"But you have to check in at the…"

"I'm sorry I'm late, I had to dust my hooves. Where's the stage?"

"You're standing on it, Miss."

"Oh. I'm here, everyone!"

There was complete silence in the studio. The spotlight shown to the voice and revealed a small Nidorina, a perfect shade of blue with a pink bow by one ear. She turned, showing bright blue eyes and a small nose only an angel could smell with. She seemed beautiful…until she opened her mouth.

"HELLOOOOOO, EVERYONE! Nidorina is here to sing for you!"

Her voice resembled a bird's screech, knocking a few people out of their chairs and causing another few people to get cancer just by listening to her voice.

"Nidorina will be joining us," Pachirisu said, losing all expression. "Our first contestant to sing is Trapinch. He's going to wow us all today with "Ice Ice Baby.""

Trapinch strutted over to the microphone on the four short legs as the crowd cheered. "Thank you, everyone! I'm singing to support the Save the Parrots charity!"

"THANK YOU!!!" a Chatot in the crowd yelled. "I love you, Trapinch!"

Trapinch smiled and began to sing:

Yo VIP let's kick it

Ice Ice Baby
Ice Ice Baby


All right stop collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop yo I don't know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle
Dance go rush to the speaker that booms
I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it you better gain weight
You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

Ice Ice Baby vanilla

Ice Ice Baby vanilla
Ice Ice Baby vanilla
Ice Ice Baby vanilla

Now that the party is jumping
With the bass kicked in and the Vegas are pumpin'
Quick to the point to the point no faking
I'm cooking MC's like a pound of bacon
Burning them if you ain't quick and nimble
I go crazy when I hear a cymbal
And a hi-hat with a souped up tempo
I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo
Rollin' in my 5.0
With my rag-top down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby waving just to say hi
Did you stop no I just drove by
Kept on pursuing to the next stop
I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block
The block was dead
Yo so I continued to A1A Beachfront Avenue
Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis
Rockman lovers driving Lamborghini's
Jealous 'cause I'm out getting mine
Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine
Reading for the chumps on the wall
The chumps acting ill because they're so full of eight balls
Gunshots rang out like a bell
I grabbed my nine all I heard were shells
Falling on the concrete real fast
Jumped in my car slammed on the gas
Bumpet to bumper the avenue's packed
I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack
Police on the scene you know what I mean
They passed me up confronted all the dope fiends
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

Ice Ice Baby vanilla

Ice Ice Baby vanilla
Ice Ice Baby vanilla
Ice Ice Baby vanilla

Take heed 'cause I'm a lyrical poet
Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it
My town that created all the bass sound
Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
'Cause my style's like a chemical spill
Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel
Conducted and formed
This is a hell of a concept
We make it hype and you want to step with this
Shay plays on the fade slice like a ninja
Cut like a razor blade so fast other DJs say damn
If my rhyme was a drug I'd sell it by the gram
Keep my composure when it's time to get loose
Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while Shay revolves it

Ice Ice Baby vanilla
Ice Ice Baby (oh-oh) vanilla
Ice Ice Baby vanilla
Ice Ice Baby vanilla ice


Yo man let's get out of here
Word to your mother
Ice Ice Baby too cold
Ice Ice Baby too cold too cold

Ice Ice Baby too cold too cold
Ice Ice Baby

The crowd's cheers roared once more. The spotlight went back to Pachirisu, whose face was strained from practicing her smile in the mirror while Trapinch performed.

"Okay, everyone, that was an amazing aspect of talent! Let's go to our judges!"

"Four out of five stars," Cherrim said.

"I have to agree. Four stars," Grovile smirked.

"Really? I give it three and a half stars," Pachirisu said, proclaiming her spot as the third judge.

"Boo!"

"Screw you, Pachirisu!"

Pachirisu ignored their shouts of hatred. "It's time for one of those 'pointless games' Cherrim mentioned. We call it: The lame song contest!"

"BOO!!!"

"Aw, come on!" the Girafarig in the crowd yelled.

"I could pay you to shut up but you still wouldn't do it, would you???" Pachirisu shouted at him, hurling another bucket of popcorn.

"Oww! My other eye!"

"Bottom line: The one with the lamest song wins!" Pachirisu shouted, losing her patience. "The three contestants playing are Mawile, Plusle and Minun, and Nidorina! First up is Mawile!"

"A lame song contest?" Mawile shouted angrily. "This can't be good for ratings! I want to look better than that!"

"Just sing your song!" Pachirisu shouted, fur fluffing up.

Mawile searched her mind for a song. "Well, if it has to be anything, it might as well be about personal hygiene…"

*I like to brush my teeth every day
It helps to keep the cavities away
'Cause when they're slimy and brown
And I'm wearing a frown
I brush my teeth three times a day!

"Let's go to our judges on a scale of one-to-five lameness!"

"Four, four and a half!" Cherrim said cheerfully.

"Four," Grovile said plainly.

"That's a five, right there!" Pachirisu laughed, mocking Mawile. Mawile started to fume. "Okay, next up are Plusle and Minun!"

"We're so gonna win!" Plusle cheered, happy for being in the contest.

"I shouldn't have let you choose the song!" Minun groaned, face-palming.

Moving their eagerness to the same level, Plusle and Minun started their lame song.

Do you like waffles?
Yeah we like waffles!
Do you like pancakes?
Yeah we like pancakes!
Do you like French toast?
Yeah we like French toast!
Do-Do-Da-Do
Can't wait to get a mouthful!
Waffles!
Waffles!
Waffles!
Do-Do-Da-Do
Can't wait to get a mouthful!

Do you like waffles?
Yeah we like waffles!
Do you like pancakes?
Yeah we like pancakes!
Do you like French toast?
Yeah we like French toast!
Do-Do-Da-Do
Can't wait to get a mouthful!
Waffles!
Waffles!
Waffles!
Do-Do-Da-Do
Can't wait to get a mouthful!

"And on the scale of one, one to five in lameness, that would be a two," Cherrim said, pouting. "I do, in fact, love waffles."

"No, that's a three and a half right there," Grovile said, arms crossed.

"Three!" Pachirisu said. "Now, it's Nidorina!"

"BOO!"

"You suck!" the Girafarig screamed.

"Shut it, already!" Pachirisu commanded, throwing more popcorn.

"Ow! My spleen!"

"I don't have a lame song, but I do have this!" Nidorina screeched in place of her regular voice.

Wanna learn how to tie your shoes?
It's a very easy thing to do
Sit on down and I'll give you the scoop
What's that?
It's called a loop-de-loop
You gotta put laces in each hand
Go over and under again
Take your loop-de-loop and pull
And your shoes are lookin' cool

You go:
Over and back
Left to right
Loop-de-loop and
You pull 'em tight
Like bunny ears
Or a Christmas bow
Lace 'em up
And you're ready to go

Take your loop-de-loop and pull
And your shoes are lookin' cool!

"I give, give that a four," Cherrim said.

"Four and a half," Grovile said, causing more cheers from the crowd.

"Four and a half. I agree with Grovile," Pachirisu said, halting the cheers with the evil sound of her voice.

"You're only saying that because you like Grovile!" Cherrim cheered.

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"You two are acting like children," Grovile said without the slightest hint of anger or frustration. Silence.

"Um…" Pachirisu tried to get back into show mode. "Okay…Now we shall announce the winner!"

Cherrim and Pachirisu huddled around Grovile, since he wouldn't move from that spot if you paid him. After discussing, they broke the huddle. "The winner of the lame song contest is…" Pachirisu started. "…The amazing duet of Plusle and Minun!"

The audience roared at this result, and Plusle gripped Minun in a giant bear hug. Mawile sat bitter in the corner.

"Congratulations, Plusle! Minun! You both win free tickets to the best winter camp ever!!"

"Yay! Now we can go to winter camp!" Plusle cheered.

"Awww, now she gets to drag me to winter camp!" Minun groaned, face-palming.

"I thought you wanted to go to winter camp, Minun?" Plusle asked him, dropping her head to his level.

"I said I wanted to go to Vermont."

"What's the difference???" Plusle asked, joking around.

"I don't know why I put up with this…"

"And also…" Cherrim continued. "You two are also, also invincible! Which means if anyone tries to vote you off this episode, his or her vote won't count!"

"Good for us!"

"Really," Minun grumbled, getting annoyed. "Just let me do the talking."

"I totally, totally don't agree with Minun!" Cherrim shouted angrily, defending Plusle.

"Well, you need to shut up as well," Pachirisu grumbled.

Cherrim turned red and ran out of the room, sobbing. "Wait, Cherrim, I…" she started, guilt creeping up on her. Pachirisu turned to see that all of the audience was staring at her. "What???"

"You only did that to her because you like me," Grovile said smartly.

"Do not!"

"I don't have time for this."

"DO NOT!" Pachirisu jumped and landed on her back, throwing a tantrum. "Do not, do not, do not, do not, do not!"

Grovile smirked. "It's really amazing what I do to women. Next, for our serious songs, are Pikachu and his band."

"Call us The Ketchum Experience!"

"What?" Grovile raised his eyebrow.

Turtwig slapped his sticks together. "We're the Ketchum Experience now!"

"I'm Pikachu, for rock!"

"I'm Turtwig, for rhythm!"

"I'm Piplup, for WORLD PEACE!"

"Drop it, Piplup," Pikachu snapped.

Turtwig started slapping his sticks together. "One, two, one two three four!"

Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Can't touch this

My, my, my, my music hits me so hard
Makes me say "Oh my Lord"
Thank you for blessing me
With a mind to rhyme and two hype feet
It feels good, when you know you're down
A super dope homeboy from the Oaktown
And I'm known as such
And this is a beat, uh, you can't touch

I told you homeboy ( can't touch this)
Yeah, that's how we living and you know (can't touch this)
Look at my eyes, man (You can't touch this)
Yo, let me bust the funky lyrics (can't touch this)

Fresh new kicks, advance
You gotta like that, now you know you wanna dance
So move, outta your seat
And get a fly girl and catch this beat
While it's rolling, hold on
Pump a little bit and let 'em know it's going on
Like that, like that
Cold on a mission so fall them back
Let 'em know, that you're too much
And this is a beat, uh, you can't touch

Yo, I told you (can't touch this)
Why you standing there, man? (can't touch this)
Yo, sound the bell, school is in, sucka (can't touch this)

Give me a song, or rhythm
Make 'em sweat, that's what I'm giving 'em
Now, they know
You talking about the Hammer you talking about a show
That's hype, and tight
Singers are sweating so pass them a wipe
Or a tape, to learn
What's it gonna take in the 90's to burn
The charts? Legit
Either work hard or you might as well quit

That's word because you know...

Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Break it down! (Music breaks down) Stop, Hammer time!

Go with the funk, it is said
That if you can't groove to this then you probably are dead
So wave your hands in the air
Bust a few moves, run your fingers through your hair
This is it, for a winner
Dance to this and you're gonna get thinner
Move, slide your rump
Just for a minute let's all do the bump, bump, bump

Yeah... (can't touch this)
Look, man (can't touch this)
You better get hype, boy, because you know (can't touch this)
Ring the bell, school's back in (can't touch this)

Break it down! Stop, Hammer time!
Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Can't touch this

Break it down! (Nice pants, Hammer) Stop, Hammer time!

Every time you see me
The Hammer's just so hype
I'm dope on the floor and I'm magic on the mic
Now why would I ever stop doing this?
With others making records that just don't hit
I've toured around the world, from London to the Bay
It's "Hammer, go Hammer, MC Hammer, yo Hammer"
And the rest can go and play

Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Can't touch this


"Two and a half, because I don't, don't like rap music," Cherrim said sternly.

"When did you get back???" Pachirisu asked.

"During the performance."

"I give it four and a half stars, because I used that song in my season of Pokemon Idol," Grovile said, showing off, making girls faint. Again. All the people who had gotten cancer by Nidorina's voice were magically cured.

"You kidding me? Five stars," Pachirisu said surely. "Now, our next little game is trivia! Everyone is playing, and there is only one question. You ready, contestants?"

"Yeah!"

"Kill me…"

"Okay, you're question is…Who wrote "U Can't Touch This," AKA, the song the Ketchum Experience just played."

"Um…"

"Hm…"

"Hello?" Pachirisu asked, dumbfounded. "It may be the easiest question known to mankind! Anyone???"

"Brittany Spears?"

"3Oh!3?"

"No, no, it was Michael Jackson."

"Daniel Curtis Lee!"

"He didn't write it!"

"I got it! Katy Perry!"

"No, it's not her."

"Maybe it was her cat?"

"Yeah, yeah! What was its name…?"

"Kitty Purry!"

"It was Kitty Purry, Pachirisu."

"For the love of all that is sugary," Pachirisu shouted. "It was…"

"MC Hammer!" Pikachu shouted.

"YES!" Pachirisu shouted.

"It was MC Hammer's cat!"

"What??? No!!!" Pachirisu shouted. "Never mind, the prize goes to Pikachu and his band."

"Cool!" Pikachu shouted. "But call us the Ke—"

"Fine, the Ketchum Experience. Can we please get a move on???"

"Do we get invincibility?" Piplup asked eagerly.

"Shut up, Piplup," Pikachu said to her. "You're a girl. You're supposed to let the guys do the talking."

"No, you do not get invincibility."

"What???"

"The first game gives invincibility, the second game gives you minus five votes against you. So, if five people vote you off, you won't have any people vote you off," Pachirisu said, hiding her smirk.

"Oh. That's still good, right?" Piplup offered.

"I told you to let us do the talking!"

Pachirisu pulled the microphone closer as the Ketchum Experience continued to bicker. "As we move on, the next—"

"ATTENTION POKEMON FANS! THE MAIN CHARACTER OF THE POKEMON ANIME, ASH KETCHUM, HAS DROWNED IN THE SEA OF GALILEE WHILE BRINGING FRANCHENSENCE TO HIS MASTER, GIOVANNI."

"Dang…" Pachirisu said, annoyed. "Ash sure drowns a lot."

A random Ash fangirl popped out of the crowd. "Ash drowned???"

~Oh no! Random Ash Fangirl fainted! Are you sure you would like to continue?~

Pachirisu blinked. "O…Kay. Now, Mawile shows off her song!"

"Remember, kids under the age of thirteen, I'm Mawile, and I'm a great role model!" she shouted.

"Four stars. I liked, liked it," Cherrim chanted.

"One and a half stars," Grovile said, getting bored of this.

"I say three and a half stars. That was really good, Mawile!" Pachirisu offered.

"Yeah, whatever, I don't need to hear it from you," Mawile growled. She smiled again and looked right in the camera. "Vote for Mawile! I can see L.A. now…"

"We're going to do something else instead of a game. We're interviewing the contestants! The questions I'm asking them are: Why do you want to win? How are you spending the money? How well do you think you'll do in the competition? Let's hear their answers!" Cherrim shouted into the microphone.

Trapinch was asked first. "Hello, I'm Trapinch! I want to win so I can become well known before I can kick off my comedy career! I'll help endangered animals with the prize money if I win! I think I'll do pretty well in the competition, because people know I'm in it to have fun and for a good cause!"

Next, the Ketchum Experience. Pikachu was answering questions for them. "We wanna win because this world deserves some more good, old-fashion rock and roll! And rhythm! Not so much world peace, though…Spend the prize money??? I like knowing we have money, so I'll never spend it! We're totally gonna win! Because rock gets to the soul!"

Mawile was next. She answered her questions with big, lovably puppy-dog eyes and an innocent look. "I want to win because then, I could do so many things for this world! I could offer talent for those in need of excitement and I could feed the needy with the prize money! I think I'll do well in the competition, but everyone else deserves it much more than me! Especially Nidorina! She has the heart of a champion! Vote for Nidorina!"

Plusle and Minun were asked next. They answered their questions with bright smiles, holding hands. "We want to win because we really and truly believe we have talent!" Plusle cheered.

"If we won, we'd use the prize money to move to the Hoenn region to see our mom. You see, a bad human took her away from us. We haven't seen her since we were babies. We want to show her how much we love her!" Minun whispered, slowly and tearfully. Plusle automatically broke down crying.

"Mama, mama, I miss you…" she wept.

Minun patted her head. "It's okay, Plusle…"

Next was Jigglypuff, who was smiling as hard as she could. "I want to win because Jigglypuff are supposed to have talent, so I want to prove I have talent just like my sisters! If I win, I'm going to donate to charity with the money! I think I have pretty good odds, because I'm a Jigglypuff!"

After the interviews, Cherrim was crying in the corner, and Pachirisu was patting her back while rolling her eyes. "P-Plusle and Minun's st-story is so, s-s-s-so sad…"

"By the way, everyone!" Pachirisu said cheerfully into the microphone. "We have a little behind-the-scenes look at Plusle and Minun during Mawile's song."

The video turned on.

Plusle was standing next to Minun, singing cheerfully as Minun looked irritated.

*I like chicken nuggets
Chicken nuggets like me
I like worms
Worms like chicken nuggets
Chicken nuggets like me!

"Hey, look!" Plusle shouted to Minun, pointing at the camera. "There's a camera pointing right at us!"

Minun looked frantically at the camera and pointed to Plusle. "She made me do it!"

The video then ended, along with laughs from the crowd.

Pachirisu nodded slowly in victory as Cherrim continued to weep all over her tail. "Next up is Jigglypuff!"

Jigglypuff bounced onto the stage and pulled out her microphone. "Thank you for coming to see me today, everyone! I'd like to thank my sister, Wigglytuff, for inspiring me to become a singer!" Then, Jigglypuff lifted her microphone and started to sing.

I saw him dancin there by the record machine
I knew he must a been about seventeen
The beat was goin strong
Playin my favorite song
An I could tell it wouldnt be long
Till he was with me, yeah me, singin

I love rock n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n roll
So come an take your time an dance with me

He smiled so I got up and asked for his name
That dont matter, he said,
cause its all the same

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

An next we were movin on
He was with me, yeah me

Next we were movin on
He was with me, yeah me, singin

I love rock n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n roll
So come an take your time an dance with me

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

An well be movin on
An singin that same old song
Yeah with me, singin

I love rock n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n roll
So come an take your time an dance with me

After her song, every Pokemon in the entire viewing audience was sleeping deeply in their seats. Jigglypuff stared at them. "Wh-Wh…"

"I'm sorry, Jigglypuff," Pachirisu apologized, pulling out her earplugs. "But you managed to put everyone asleep with a rock and roll song. That's really going to hurt your score."

Jigglypuff put on her "angry face." She popped the top off her microphone and dashed into the crowd, scribbling her pen over their faces. Cherrim and Grovile were also asleep, so she ran over to them as well. After screwing up Cherrim's appearance, she pondered for a moment to think whether or not she should draw on Grovile. It seemed like a terrible waste of hotness, so she gave him a pat on the head and continued ruining the images of the nonworthy.

Pachirisu smiled to herself, enjoying this, when she felt a startling tap on the shoulder. She turned. "Oh, Nidorina. What is it?"

Nidorina looked sad and hurt. "Well, you guys forgot me in the interviews…"

Pachirisu looked surprised and at the same time guilty. "Oh! I'm terribly sorry…We'll do it now. Does that make you feel any better?"

"No."

"Great, then roll the camera at us," she said to the cameraman.

"Nidorina looked up to the camera with longing eyes. "I want to win because everyone thinks I'm terrible, but I know that I can do good if I tried. I'd use the money to buy food for my family of six."

"You have a family of six?"

"Yes. Two Nidoran, my brother Nidorino, my mom Nidoqueen, and my father Nidoking. And me, of course."

"Ah…I see."

"I think my odds of winning are pretty crappy because of my voice, but really, my singing voice is better than this."

"O-Oh…" Pachirisu stammered. "You have a pretty sad story there…"

"Guess so."

"…"

"…"

"PACHIRISU LIKES GROVILE, PACHIRISU LIKES GROVILE!!!" Cherrim shouted.

"EARTH TO CHERRIM, SO DOES EVERY FEMALE IN THE POKEMON WORLD!!!" Pachirisu screamed back. Smoothing out her ruffled fur, she turned back to the camera and smiled sweetly. "Our next contestant is Nidorina!"

Nidorina walked solemly up to the stage microphone as people continued to throw rocks and fruit. And angry cats. And dead bodies. And "Vote for Mawile" signs they pulled off the street. Nidorina delfected a dead giraffe with her hoof and started to speak. "Hello, this is Nidorina. This is a song called "Anything but Ordinary" by Avril Lavigne. I've practiced it for a long time, so I hope you like it."

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I wanna scream
It makes me feel alive

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I
Have been to the extreme
So knock me off my feet
Come on now give it to me
Anything to make me feel alive

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.

Let down your defenses
Use no common sense
If you look you will see
that this world is a beautiful
accident, turbulent, succulent
opulent permanent, no way
I wanna taste it
Don't wanna waste it away

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby

Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Is it enough?
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.
oh
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.

Pachirisu stared in awe. Nidorina had sung it in such a beautiful voice that someone may've called Avril Lavigne during her performance to knock her out of business. "That, erm, was…gorgeous, Nidorina," she said slowly, still dumbfounded.

"Thank you," Nidorina croaked. Now that she had sung the whole thing, her voice was twice as crackly as before.

"Alright, everyone!" Pachirisu shouted, thrilled for the last performance. "This is our last performance of the episode, so you need to remember to vote! Here's our last act…PLUSLE AND MINUN!"

The crowd went wild as the pair ran up to the microphone, arms still locked. They both leaned into it and shouted "Pokemon Idol rules!"

The crowd wailed as Plusle and Minun broke into song and dance.

Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
(unless I try to start again)

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
Tonight

Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
Tonight

I'll paint it on the walls
Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
Breaking the habit
Tonight

"Let's hear it for Plusle and Minun!" Pachirisu shouted, cheering or them as well. "Grovile, recap please!"

"Sure thing, Pachirisu," Grovile said calmly, winking at Pachirisu. Pachirisu held back a huge blush, but it was too obvious. Everyone cheered for Grovile. "Here's the recap, everyone: You, the FanFiction readers, will vote for who is eliminated! Remember to vote for the person you want eliminated, not the person you want to win. Plusle and Minun have invincibilty this episode, which means they have a gaurenteed spot for next episode. The Ketchum Experience has, other than a lame name, minus five votes against them. Until next time…"

"Rock on!" Cherrim, Pachirisu, and Grovile cheered.

As the show ended, the main lights turned on and the spotlight turned off. "Alright…" Pachirisu mumbled. "I'm going to the bar. Coming?"

"It was a good, good first episode," Cherrim offered. "But I'm worn out."

"Do you think the police will find you now that you put yourself on TV?" Grovile asked, obviously not looking for an answer.

"Maybe."

"Let's bail. I'm tired."

The threesome walked reluctantly out of the studio, turning off the lights as they did so. Mawile walked out of the shadows and opened a brown sack.

"You can come out now."

"What in the world???" Nidorina's voice whispered. "Are you trying to Pokenap me?"

"No, I just needed to talk to you," Mawile said in a low voice. "You sure have a lot of talent, Nidorina, and it's obvious that I do too," Mawile said 'modestly.' "If we were to form an alliance, we could be unstoppable! I could take you to the final two with me. Plusle and Minun are crazy-talented, so we'll need to watch out for them. What do you say? I could work well."

"But…Wait. If we both make it to the final two, who will win?"

"I'll let you win, as long as I get first runner-up."

"Can I really trust you to do that?"

"That's your problem. If you don't trust me, I'll just take that gullable little Pikachu to win."

Nidorina jumped out of the sack. "No, no! I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Later…You all know crazy things are going to happen, but feel free to sit there in suspense!

Plusle walked into the bar just down the street from the studio and walked up to the drunken Pachirisu. "Pachi-chan, how was I supposed to know it was flamable?"

"Wha-*hic*-t?" Pachirisu snorted, drunk. Looking across the street, she could see that smoke was coming from the studio. "Huh…? WHAT THE HELL??? YOU BURNED DOWN THE STUDIO???"

Minun walked into the bar and grabbed Plusle. "Why is it that whenever I leave you alone for five minutes you always have to burn down a building???" he yelled. "Come on—We're going to your consulor."

As Plusle and Minun left, Pachirisu gazed at Grovile, who was sitting on the other side of the table. "You seem far away, Grovile…" she murmured, red-faced.

"You're really drunk, Pachirisu."

"I'm not drunk!"

"Whenever you say that, it means you are!"

Pachirisu got up and stumbled over to his side of the table and snuggled up against him. "There. You're not far away anymore."

"You've had your last drink for today, Pachirisu."

"Are you that interested in me, Grovile?"

"Eh?"

"Everyone mentions that I like you…Sometimes I wonder if they read my secret journal I keep under my nest."

"You have a secret journal under your nest?"

"Yes…"

"I'm going home. Don't get yourself killed, Pachirisu."

"I loooooove you, Grovile. Bye-Bye."

Okay, if you see any obvious spelling mistakes at about the end, it's because my spellcheck turned off and I don't know how to turn it back on…=sob= So vote! Only against people! ~Furyfur
