Act I - Scene v: We're Finally in Viridian City!
After waking up in the infirmary, Ness looked around and freaked out. "Dude, what happened... I thought we beat Team Rocket.. Must've lost 'cause now we're in the ER... Surrounded by Pokémon?! What happened!" Nurse Joy came over to him. "No worries, you're not hallucinating and all of that did happen. I just didn't have anywhere else to put you guys. You three had something to eat and passed out on the floor... Except for the large one, he fell asleep while hugging my leg. I think has was begging me for more food." "And our Pokémon?" "Oh! Why they're well rested and ready to start a new day! Just please try to be careful, some Pokémon... and some people, have been causing lots of trouble."
Ness woke everyone up. The Pokémon jumped right into their arms. "No need to worry, your Pokémon are fighting fit!" And with that, they left. She bowed and said "We hope to see you again!" As they left, Pokey whispered to Ness: "Dude, as hot as she is, I think she put one of those 'witch's curses' on us." Ness shrugged and replied: "Eh, it nothing to worry about.."
Meanwhile, Nurse Joy had a dark, demonic face instead of the sweet, happy face from earlier. Whispering to her Chansey, she asked if it could grab the telephone. "Yes.. Hello? Hello, 'sister(s)'. This is the Nurse Joy if Viridian City letting you know that we have quite a few trainers to 'take care of'... I'm sure they'll stop by soon enough.. They always do..." Muttering an evil laugh Chansey backs away and points out another person is coming. In a momentous fashion, she assumes her normal position. "Welcome to the Pokémon Center!"
Taking a moment to take the fresh air all in, out of nowhere, a Photo-Man appeared out of the sky. Midna and the rest of the trio were surprised. "Wait a sec-" "Pictures taken instantaneously! I'm a photographic genius, if I do say so myself! What a perfect, successful first day it's been on your Pokémon journey, has it not? Okay, get ready for an instant memory! Look at the camera... Ready... Say, 'fuzzy pickles!'" Ness assumed a smile with a peace sign while Bulbasaur was at his feet, Pokey made a face and stuck his tongue out while his Charmander tried to look tough, and Midna hugged her smiling Squirtle. "Wow, what a great photograph! It will always bring back the fondest of memories..." And as quickly as he came, he ascended back to the sky. All recovering from the odd event, Ness started to say: "Well, that was-" "...Weird.." Pokey interrupted.
Just as they were to take another step, the Youngster popped out of the bushes. "Aha! I've waited all night for this! Waited and waited, for this fated battle-" Pokey interrupted: "Well, duh... Wait, you must have set up that Camera Guy! You trolled us you spammer!" "You, the fat boy! I challenge you first!" Pokey was enraged. "I'm not fat! - I'm fluffy! I'll take that challenge and beat your scrawny ass straight to the ground!" Midna stepped in as the referee. The Youngster sent out his 1st Pokémon. "Go Pokéball! Ratatta, I choose you!" "Charmander, use Ember." And with that, Ratatta was KOed, but the ember also reached the Youngster's shoe. "Ratatta... and shoe?... are unable to battle. Pokey wins!.. I guess." "No! Shoe! You were my only friend! Well no matter, I'll send out an even stronger Pokémon! I challenge the hat boy against my strongest Pokémon!" Before the Youngster was able to send out his Pokémon, Pokey went up in his face and began to berate him. "You ever call me 'fat boy' again, I'll kill you!" Ness pulled them apart and sent out his Bulbasaur. "Let's get back to the battle before we were so RUDELY interrupted. Go Pokéball! Rocky, I choose you!" As previously mentioned Rocky, the most amazing Pokémon ever, came out. "I get to go first! Rocky, use Roll Over!" The awesome rock of coolness did absolutely nothing. "That's a good boy! That's a goood boy!" Now it was Ness's turn. "Bulbasaur, use Vine Whip!" Bulbasaur used a weak push and Rocky was defeated. "Rocky is unable to battle! Ness wins!... I think.. Does this even count as a battle?" The Youngster fell to the ground and shouted: "No! Rocky! You were my only friend!" Starting to get up and cry manly tears, he pledged: "I'll fight you again... later.. And I'll be the bestest-" "Best" Midna interrupted. "-Best Pokémon trainer ever! But first, I need to find some more Pokémon!" He went from a saddened state to a happy-go-lucky, skippy person.
After that whole ordeal was over, Ness, Pokey, and Midna paused and saw two trainers bickering. "My Pokémon Eevee is way better than your Pikachu!" A boy with spiky hair and a bluish long-sleeved shirt cried out. "Blue, there's no reason too.." "I challenge you to a Pokémon battle!" A crowd now gathered around to watch this spectacle. Pushed back by the crowd, Midna asked who they were. Many of the fangirls stared at her and said: "These are the legendary trainers Red and Blue! As you can see.. I'm a Blue-" Just then the girl next to her said that she was a Red, and the crowd went into a frenzy. Blue paused the battle and said: "Ladies, there's plenty of me to go around.." His Eevee took a Thundershock from Pikachu and was defeated. "What?! Unbelievable! Red! I'll defeat you when next we meet!" Blue stormed off while Red tipped his hat to the fans before walking to the next city.
Midna stopped them. "Wait! Come back!" The two trainers came back. "I see a fan has come to meet her hero?" "No, I just wanted to meet you two." "Well then, catch me in Pewter City! I'll see you later beautiful!... Smell you later Red!" Blue said as he ran off. Red sighed. "You're not one of those fangirls? Are you?" "Well, no. As I said, I have never heard of you two and I wanted to see who you were." "I am Red of Viridian City and that cocky kid that just left is my friend Blue. His real name is Gary and mine is Ash, but you should refer to me as Red for now. We actually became trainers not to long ago. Not really sure how we became so notorious, maybe because we're locals?... Anyways, I should get going to Pewter City in case Blue tries to get ahead. Good luck on your journey and see you there." Red walked away.
Midna was starstruck, she had a crush on Red.
Ness caught up and asked if there was anything else they had to do in the city. "...Huh.. No... We should stock up on supplies and get going... to Pewter City.." "Okay! Pokey, Midna and I are getting supplies, want to come?" Pokey was spaced out. "Huh... Oh... no.. But while you're in there, you should get lots of food.. You know, for the.. uh... adventure!.. Yeah.." Ness and Midna left and Pokey tried to leave to 'catch some Pokémon' (a.k.a.: challenge the gym and ditch them, even if they were friends, Pokey must be the best and defeat those two trainers!) Before he was going to leave, he saw an Old Man passed out in the road. Pokey tried going around, but the Old Man said: "You can't go through here! This is private property!" in a slurred voice. His voice smelled musty, as if he had too many drinks the night before. There was a girl beside him who kept repeating to herself: "Oh come on, wake up and have your coffee! Sorry kid, he's had too many good ones and hasn't drank his coffee yet." The Old Man said: "I'm gonna kill..." Pokey ran to the Poké Mart to find Ness. "..that squirrel that's on my yard! And those kids who littered on my roof!" The Old Man was yelling at two trees and the road.
Pokey burst through the door. "Ness! Ness! There's some old guy passed out on the road! And I think he wants to kill me!" Ness was about to pay for all the supplies when Pokey grabbed Ness and ran out the door. The money magically flew on the counter. "Wow, that was lucky." the clerk said, still confused by what just happened. "Well then..." Midna said. Then she used PK Kamui to transport all the items and then PK Teleport to where Ness was. The clerk pretended that nothing happened. Then, about a minute later, he realized that an Old Man was about to kick a 'fluffy' boy's butt. He called for a mob and made thousands that day..
When they got there, the Old Man was still talking nonsense. Pokey ripped the soda out of Ness's hand out just poured it into his mouth. "Hey I was still drinking that!" The Old Man did not wake up, but Midna arrived. "Maybe you should give him reverse CPR, Pokey." "Ew! Are you flipping kidding me! That's absolutely disgusting!" But Ness told him it would make up for the soda incident, so he knelt to the ground. About to perform reverse CPR, the Old Man woke up and pushed Pokey aside.
"Ahh, I've had my coffee now and I feel great! Sure you can go through! Are you in a hurry?" Ness replied 'no', but he continued. I can see you're using a Pokédex. When you catch a Pokémon..." Pokey decided that they should ditch the Old Man before they were stuck there forever. They sneaked around him while he continued to babble on. "I built a house out of corn during the war. Worse house I ever lived in! In the summer it would smell like purple. And that's how the camel got it's hump..." By the time he stopped, the children were far gone. The Old Man continued to yell at some trees.
Then the mob appeared and the Old Man asked: "Nice weather today, isn't it?" "So you like kicking butts, eh?" And thus, the mob attacked the rambling Old Man.
Author's Notes:
EarthBound will now be coming out on the Wii U Virtual Console for both North America and Europe! Now to get the other two... Anyways, pretty cool, huh? So now that the 18-year trek EarthBound fans faced are over. Hopefully we can get some original Pokémon on the VC... Okay, to the references:
References:
- the whole 'Nurse Joy is evil' thing is how some people will say why there is so many of them and stuff. It will be explained in a interlude
- I defiantly made the Camera Guy appear because he's so great and appears at the craziest of times. As did his saying of "fuzzy pickles"
- a troll is someone that intentionally annoys, as is a spammer (they are virtually the same, both are annoying)
- the 'I'm not fat, I'm fluffy' is something the comedian Gabriel Iglesias said
- the entire battle with the Youngster would be based off a BMNC Pokémon Parody battle
- Red's personality is supposed to be stoic and respectful. Blue is supposed to be cocky and (probably) jealous on the inside (hint, hint: backstory interludes at which I'll post throughout this series)
- when Pokey was going to ditch everyone, it is definitely a sign of what is to come and what he did in EarthBound
- the Old Man was both drunk and needed his coffee. Instead of being drunk, he just needed coffee in the international versions
- the conversation with the Old Man (except for yelling at the trees) were based off the original. Him yelling at everything and seeing things are references to a stereotypical older person
- the "house of corn" is based off Grandpa Simpson of The Simpsons. The "Nice weather today" is based off SpongeBob
Until next time! N Nintendo Wii Trust. Do U?
