A/N: Hi there! I actually LOVE writing previews or trailers for not only the fanfics I plan to write, but just for any story that pops into my head, even if I never actually write it out. In that case, I just do them for fun and never publish them. However, the horrible portrayal of Serena and here Pokemon in these fanfics I'm reviewing, along with the fact that I just recently bore witnessed to that horrible trailer for the movie Show Dogs, spurred me to edit and rewrite this old trailer I first wrote a while ago. Now, I highly doubt I'm ever gonna actually write this story. This really is just for fun, and I plan on making more Just For Fun trailers to put in between parts of long reviews in the future. However, ya never know! Maybe one of the trailers I put up as filler for Keldeo the Critic will bear some fruit. I guess we'll just have to wait and see! But for now, please enjoy this fun little idea that popped into my head while you wait for Part 2 of the review!
The following PREVEIW has been rated JFF for Just For Fun
A bird's eye view of the Hoenn region provided a great view of the incredible volcano Mt. Chimney in the northwest and the massive Sootopolis crater in the southeast.
Zooming in towards the Hoenn Airport, Serena walked out confidently as she beheld a Hoenn City with her own eyes for the very first time.
"And to my own way" she said confidently.
Serena tossed out her three Pokeballs, and Braixen, Pancham, and Sylveon all came out with bright eyes and excited smiles.
"We'll become the very best in Pokemon Contests, and then return to take on the Master Class Showcase!" Serena declared.
Her Pokemon all cheered.
As Serena and her Pokemon traveled down one of the Hoenn Routes, Serena remarked, "Who knows what friends and rivals we'll meet on this journey."
A truck with a familiar red "R' on the side suddenly crashed out of the forest and skidded across the Route. The truck would have struck Serena had Sylveon not quickly pulled her Trainer back with her ribbons. Serena was frozen with her hands up and a look of wide eyed terror on her face as she stood with Sylveon's ribbons wrapped around her waist.
"Already with the danger?" Serena said with a trembling voice.
Meanwhile, a pink haired woman wearing a dark purple dress with a star belt buckle, light purple gloves, and brown cloak and hat ran through the forest with a look of desperation on her face.
The mysterious woman burst out of the trees and pointed at the disabled, smoking truck as she angrily demanded, "Let go of my Pokemon right now!"
Cassidy leaned out of the left side of the truck's cab and said, "To infect the world with devastation!"
Butch leaned out of the right side and said, "To blight all people in every nation!"
Serena and her Pokemon all had deadpanned expressions in response to this.
"Seriously?" Serena remarked, and she nodded to her Pokemon.
Swift, Dark Pulse, and Fire Blast all struck the cab of the truck simultaneously, blowing it up and sending Butch and Cassidy flying.
Serena opened the back of the truck, and a Murkrow and a Hoothoot looked out excitedly from within their cages.
The cloaked woman hugged her freed Pokemon, smiling gleefully. She then bowed gracefully and said to Serena, "Ooh, a thousand thankyous."
She twirled around, waving her hands mysteriously as she said, "I am Lily, the Pokemon Magician of Kanto. Allow me to repay your kindness."
Serena just smiled kindly and said, "Oh, you don't have to. I'm just glad to-."
"I won't take no for an answer!" Lily said as she held her arms up high and her cloak flared out behind her in a powerful magical breeze.
Sylveon shuddered fearfully and stood closer to a wide-eyed Serena. Sylveon wrapped her ribbons around her trainer's arm as the wind got louder and stronger. Braixen shivered and held her branch close, also a little spooked by Lily's display. Pancham just folded his arms and tapped his foot, looking rather unimpressed by the magician's theatrics.
The was a flash of lightning as Lily brought her arms down, swiping her hat off of her head and bending over double. She then stood up straight again, and smiled as she held out her hat to Serena and her Pokemon as everything became clam and quiet again.
"A special treat for your Pokemon," Lily said as she showed them three star shaped cakes inside her hat. Each cake had the colors and symbols of one of the three Pokemon's Types: Fire, Dark, and Fairy.
Sylveon sniffed her cake suspiciously as Serena held it out to her. "Go on," Serena said gently, urging her Pokemon to taste the treat.
Everyone turned to see that Pancham had swallowed his cake whole and was giving each of his paw digits a quick suck, showing his profound approval with the treat.
Braixen took a bite of her cake and cried out in happiness before digging into the rest of it.
Sylveon gave her cake a lick and took in the taste. She then proceeded to messily gobble up the cake, causing Serena to stare at Sylveon in surprise.
Pancham grinned and gave a nod of approval.
Sylveon chewed and swallowed her mouthful of cake and gave a blushing smile.
With Hoothoot and Murkrow perched on her shoulders, Lily gave a mischievous smile to the group and waved goodbye.
"Remember. . . they were special. . ." Lilly said mysteriously.
It was night time, and Serena and her Pokemon were in a room at a Pokemon Center. Serena was sitting on the edge of her bed as she said, "Well, I don't know about magic, but I guess Lily's a good baker, judging from how much you liked those treats."
"Oh, your Pokepuffs are still the best, Serena!" Braixen suddenly said aloud as Sylveon and Pancham nodded in agreement.
Serena cried out in fear and crawled backwards onto the bed, all the while staring at Braixen with wide eyes.
Pancham quickly looked all around the room, his fists clenched and ready to fight as he asked, "What? What happened? What is it?"
"Are you okay Serena?" Sylveon asked, looking concerned as she put her forepaws onto the bed, intending on jumping up onto it to calm Serena down.
"You. . . you all can . . . t-," Serena stammered out before her eyes rolled upwards and she fell backwards off the other side of the bed, fainting even before she hit the floor.
After moving Serena and placing her back on the bed, Braixen stared at her unconscious trainer with a very worried look. "We have to wake her up! But none of us knows Wake Up Slap! GREAT!" she said, clearly starting to panic as she gestured frantically with her arms.
Sylveon stepped boldly between Serena and her two partners. She held up a forepaw and said seriously, "Braixen, stand back. I've got this."
Sylveon turned towards Serena and stepped forward, and then she began gently run the ends of her ribbons under Serena's chin, nose, and ears. "C'mon. C'mon. Wake up, Serena. . ." Sylveon said in a soft tone of voice.
Pancham stared at Sylveon with a look of disbelief, then he pulled a deadpanned expression and said, "'Stand back. I've got this,' she says."
Braixen gently tweaked Sylveon's right ear, and then nudged her out of the way.
"Uh-huh. Very cute. Now, let's get serious!" Braixen exclaimed. She then whipped her branch out of her tail quickly, and the tip of it lit up with a small flame. Braixen immediately blew it out, which sent a small plume of smoke into Serena's face.
Serena coughed and moaned as she slowly began to regain consciousness.
"One side, one side," Pancham said impatiently as he pushed his was in between the other two Pokemon.
"HEY!" Braixen shouted when Pancham snatched her branch out of her paw.
"Look, you girls just be quiet, okay. Let me take charge here," Pancham said, then he jumped onto the bed looked at Serena, who was slowly opening her eyes. He smirked as he held the branch out in front of him, waving it under Serena's nose. "Good thing I was here to bring you out of that!" Pancham boasted with a proud look on his face, "That's right! Me! I-."
Serena's eyes snapped open and she let out a frightened scream, rolling right off of the bed. Sylveon responded to Serena's scream with a scream of her own.
Pancham threw the branch down in frustration and plugged his ears with his paws. He exclaimed, "What the heck is with you-?!"
"Careful with that!" Braixen shouted nervously as she quickly picked up her branch off of the floor and gently caressed it, checking it for any damages. "It's okay. . . I'm here," she whispered to it.
"Oh, Arceus. . ." Pancham remarked dryly.
"Those cakes," Serena said in amazement as she slowly got up off of the floor, "They made you talk."
"Um, no. Nothing makes me do anything," Pancham said in a voice rife with attitude, "They gave me the option of talking."
"WE LOVE YOU, SERENA!" Sylveon and Braixen chorused as they jumped in between Pancham and Serena.
Pancham suddenly found himself watching the three females snuggle and laugh with tears of joy streaming down their faces, the three of them unable to speak due to emotional overload.
"I'm starting to really miss Chespin right about now," Pancham grumbled as he folded his arms and turned away.
A small cubic helicopter device with a camera lens on it hovered outside the window of the room.
"Three . . . talking. . . Pokemon," Cassidy said in amazement as she and Butch watched the camera feed on their laptop.
"And they're strong and smart, not like that idiot Meowth that hangs around Jessie and James," Butch said, clearly harboring bitter feelings for the trio.
"If we give those Pokemon to the boss, we'll finally be back on top, not that idiotic trio!" Cassidy sneered.
The next morning, Serena stood in the doorway and said, "Okay, we should probably keep this secret. We don't want too much attention."
With wide eyes, Braixen replied in shock, "There's such a thing as too much attention?"
This earned a sideways glance from Pancham.
As the group walked onward, Pancham put his paws on the back of his head and said, "Whatever language we speak, it's gonna be an endurance for me to travel with around Hoenn with only girls who are afraid to get dirty for company."
Braixen stuck her nose up into the air and said indignantly, "Hmph! I resent that remar-EWW!" Braixen suddenly stopped in her tracks and stumbled backwards as she stepped in a mud puddle. She held her foot up as she bumped into Sylveon beside her, causing the Fairy-type to stumbled into another mud puddle nearby.
"Ick!" Sylveon shouted as both her left paws sunk deep into the wet mud. Immediately her right legs went up to avoid treading in the mud as well. However, this left her unbalanced, and she grabbed Braixen's forearm with her ribbons in order to stop her fall. However, this only ended up pulling Braixen down with her.
"No, no, no!" Braixen said in panic as she and Sylveon splashed into the mud.
Serena sweatdropped as she stared at Braixen and Sylveon, both of them muddy.
Pancham turned to Serena and said, "See what the only male in the group has to put up with?"
Out on the road, a girl a little older than Serena and accompanied by a younger boy with glasses smiled at Serena and her Pokemon and said cheerfully, "Hi there! I'm May! And this is my brother Max!"
"Hey there," Max said with a smile as he adjusted his glasses, causing them to flash mysteriously.
"Ralts ralts!" said a Ralts that stood behind Max.
"Well then, I guess we're Pokemon Contest rivals!" Serena said eagerly.
"Sure! And friends too, I hope!" May replied.
May's Glaceon stepped over to Sylveon and looked her over.
"Syl! Sylv sylveon!" Sylveon said with a friendly smile.
Glaceon smirked and pointed at Sylveon ribbons, laughing as she replied, "Glace Glace Glaceon? Glaceon!"
Sylveon gasped, and her face flushed with anger as she replied loudly, "Oh, so you think my ribbons are ridiculous, do you? Well, have you just never noticed how pointless your two little dangles are?"
As Glaceon's eyes widened with disbelief, Sylveon's eyes widened in horror. She looked around slowly at the jaw dropped faces of Max, May, and their Pokemon. Serena had a hand over her mouth, Braixen was wringing her hands, and Pancham was face palming hard.
"Um. . . Sylve Sylv?" Sylveon said meekly with a forced smile.
"Oh, we are gonna catch those talking Pokemon!" Cassidy shouted as her Sableye clashed with Pancham.
"Sylveon, look out for Biff's Mightyena!" Serena called out.
"Don't you mean Batch?" Sylveon said in a nervous tone as Migthyena advanced on her.
"I thought it was Buck?" Braixen offered.
"It's Burgh, right?" Max said.
"No, it's Bob," May corrected.
"You guys all got it wrong, it's Bach!" Pancham said impatiently as he held back the flailing Sableye with Arm Thrust.
"IT'S BUUUUUUUUTCH!" Butch shouted to the heavens in a rage.
Serena hung her head sadly and said, "Look what we got you all into."
May patted Serena's hand and said kindly, "It's okay. We're friends, aren't we?"
May's Blaziken bumped fists with Braixen as Wartortle and Venusaur smiled and nodded in approval.
Pancham found himself in the middle of a group hug with Munchlax and Ralts. Pancham just frowned in embarrassment and rolled his eyes at first, but then gave a half smile as he began to enjoy it in spite of himself, all while Max looked on and smiled happily.
Beautifly landed gently on Sylveon's back, much to her delight. Sylveon laughed prettily as Skitty played with her flowing ribbons.
Serena smiled warmly and shook hands with May. "Yes, of course we're friends," she said.
STARRING:
Tabitha St. Germain . . .
Braixen sniffed her branch, a loving smile on her face, and she sighed and said, "Ahhh. . . I just love the smell of my branch in the morning. . ." Braixen motioned and counted off with her free paw and said, "It's 3 parts friendship, 2 parts campfire, 1 part forest, and a dash of love."
. . . Samuel Vincent Khouth . . .
Pancham fell to his knees and cried out emotionally, "You girls mean everything to me! You put up with me even though I complain, and I criticize you, and I smell-."
"Smell?" Sylveon echoed with a tilted head in confusion.
"Well, yeah. I mean, I'm a guy, aren't I?" Pancham said as if were obvious.
"That's kinda sexist," Braixen pointed out.
Pancham facepalmed and grumbled, "And the moment's dead."
. . . and YouTube star Courtney (ProjectSNT) as Sylveon.
Sylveon smiled giddily, her ribbons flowing as she said to Serena, "Oh, don't worry, Serena. I don't hate Glaceon. She's great! I just wanna hug her and squeeze her and wrap my ribbons around her icy body so tightly that her eyes pop out of their sockets."
When Sylveon saw the look of shock and disbelief on Serena's face, the Eeveelution's blue eyes widened and she said, "Umm . . . I have no idea where that came from."
Pancham leaned in and said, "She has her ribbons crossed!"
"Be quiet," Sylveon hissed while still looking at Serena and smiling sweetly.
Serena In Hoenn
Serena and her Pokemon were in their tent, ready to turn in for the night. As Serena unrolled her sleeping bag, Pancham pointed at Sylveon and said, "Hey, Serena. Now that we can all speak your language, it might be a good idea to put Sylveon in her ball. If you wanna get a good night's sleep tonight, that is."
"Huh? What?" Serena asked as Braixen stared at Pancham with a look of disapproval, while Sylveon just looked confused.
"She'll keep you up all night with her sleep-talking," Pancham said clarified simply, "Not the move. She just talks. . . in her sleep. . . really, she does."
Serena chuckled as she turned to the now slightly embarrassed Sylveon and said, "Aw. You talk in your sleep? That's kinda cute."
"Well. . ." Braixen said awkwardly, looking left and right and anywhere but at Sylveon.
"What is it?" Serena asked Braixen, picking up on her nervous tone.
"She narrates her Bunnelby dreams," Pancham remarked with a smirk.
"I WHAT!?" Sylveon shrieked, her face burning red with mortification.
Pancham made kissy faces as he clasped his paws dreamily and said in his best imitation of Sylveon's voice, "'Mwah, mwah, mwah! I wuv you, Bunnelby! Mwah, mwah! Aw, you think I'm a princess? Well, you're my knight in shining-' OWW!"
Pancham was knocked flat by a pillow thrown by Braixen.
"Okay. . . I guess I kinda deserved that," Pancham moaned.
Serena sighed and wondered out loud, "Is this what being a mom is like?"
