Poke-ON!
Chapter 54:
Chandelier
Spring was now in the air, and the cherry blossoms were blooming. Thursday morning arrived, and while Kohei Uchimura was busy sleeping, Nodoka Manabe was watching the finale of Kantai Collection. "Nice show," she thought. "A good thing that the show I really care about is coming up next." After a number of commercials, the next episode of Poke-ON! was on the air.
Right now the gang was sailing back to Pallet Town on the Skyship after the victory party and after Hokago Tea Time had their battles against Head Leader Drake.
"I can't believe you all beat my husband's namesake," Georgia Thompson said.
"Was there any doubt?" asked Ritsu Tainaka.
"For a moment yes there was," Ursula Thompson said.
"Meanie!" pouted Yui Hirasawa.
"Let's just get back to Pallet Town and Celebrate," Azusa Nakano suggested.
"CHAMPION PARTY!" squealed Pinkie Pie.
Right on cue Pinkie and Tsumugi Kotobuki's babies began crying.
"We better go tend to our babies," Mugi said to Pinkie, "they sound like they need a diaper change."
"Okey dokey lokey!" Mugi and Pinkie went to go change their babies and when they removed their diapers they got peed on by their kids.
"Pika."
"That's always a funny sight to see," Georgia and Ursula said as they laughed.
"Can it!" snapped Mugi. "Come on Pinkie let's take a shower, again."
Pinkie nodded as she and Mugi went to the showers.
Twilight was reading a book to her twins. "Aww that's so cute," Rose Thompson said watching the scene while caring for her twins.
"Got that right," said Sara playing with hers.
"Let's just hope the forces of Darkness don't attack Pallet Town again," Rita said as she was naked and breast feeding hers.
"I second that," said Reina doing the same with hers.
Meanwhile in the Egg Carrier, Xandred was pissed. "All of you are useless!" he declared drawing his sword. "Prepare to lose your heads!"
"Before you behead us can we at least plead our cases?" Glumshanks asked.
"Fine."
"Good one Glumshanks," Octoroo said to the troll.
"Well I know that Kaos is gone but all we need is a new General to lead some attacks," the troll suggested. "Might I suggest we terrorize the Johto Region?"
"Oh ah oh! That might help." said Octoroo.
"And I brought back just the guy," Ayumi spoke "General Nayzor show yourself."
"I am milady!" Nayzor said appearing.
"Go and Terrorize the Johto Region," Ayumi said, "Master Org says you're the most cunning of all the org generals. Use your cunning and make the region cry."
"On it."
Nayzor left. "This better work or I'll have your head first!" warned Xandred.
"Calm down Xandred," Ayumi said, "if you behead me I won't be able to bring back anymore orgs."
"Oh ah oh! She has you there boss," said Octoroo.
Dayu had to comment. "And you do need my music." Xandred sighed, knowing they had good points.
Back in Pallet Town, the Skyship was parked at Oak's Lab as the team were giving Oak the briefing on what happened.
"I see." said Oak. "What an adventure!"
"Yep," Mio Akiyama said, "It was tough."
"Tell me about it." said Azusa.
"At least things can't get any worse," Yui said.
"Anyway." said Oak getting the GS ball out. "I haven't made any headway with this."
"So what do we do?" Twilight Sparkle asked.
"You kids plan to go to the next league right?" asked Oak.
Hokago Tea Time nodded.
"You bet!" said Ash.
"Then I suggest we head to Johto," Erza said, "It's my home."
"Ah, good," said Oak before talking about Kurt.
"I know Kurt as well," Erza said, "I got all my Apricon Poke Balls from him."
"All right everyone," said Oak. "Your mission is simple today: bring the GS Ball to Kurt in Azalea Town. Got it?"
"We understand," Cana said.
"Good."
"In the mean, LET'S PARTY!" cheered Pinkie.
"You do that," Erza said, "I'm gonna go check on the Johto Region. I better figure out what's been happening to the place while I was gone."
"Ok. We'll party there." said Pinkie.
"Back to the Skyship," Sawako said.
"ALL HANDS ON DECK!" Naruto called to his crew.
Maria, Sasha, Yukie, and Karen got the message.
"AYE CAPTAIN?" they asked appearing.
"We're going to Johto," Naruto said.
"Aye yi Captain!" said the crew.
"I gotta use the bathroom real quick," Karen said.
"Fine." sighed Naruto.
"Thank you," Karen said vanishing to use the bathroom. Naruto sat down and waited. Karen returned from the bathroom. "Much better."
"All hands set course to New Bark Town!" said Naruto.
The Gokaigers set the course to New Bark Town.
"Blue, take the helm." said Naruto.
"Got it," Maria said.
Naruto then took to his standing point at the front of the ship, the same place where the captain before him always stood.
"Navi where's the first gym in the Johto Region?" Karen asked.
"Falkner…Z Badge…This old village is still surrounded by trees and other scenery."
"We need to register at New Bark Town first," said Yui.
"And I need to check on Professor Elm," Erza said.
Meanwhile in New Bark Town, Nayzor was formulating a plan. So far he had Ayumi revive plenty of orgs and create some new ones as Desperado and Asuna were by his side.
"So what's your plan Nayzor?" Asuna asked.
"All hands on deck for this one," he said. "We run over the entire town with our minions and raise hell. Direct, fast, effective. The defenses here are piss-poor so this should be an easy go. Yes?"
"Great plan, pardner," Desperado said.
"Thanks, brother." So the Orgs went to put the plan into action.
At the Skyship, Erza was looking over the horizon as she could see her home town.
"We're almost there." she said.
"Must be nice to be going home huh?" Lucy asked.
Erza nodded. As Lucy and Erza continued looking over at New Bark Town they noticed something odd.
"Erza is New Bark Town supposed to have Dark Clouds hanging above it?" Lucy asked.
"No." said Erza.
"Well I see dark clouds hanging above New Bark Town," Lucy said pointing at said dark clouds.
"I smell danger," said Yui.
"What was your first clue?" Isis snarked.
Mio gave her a headbump.
"What did I say?" Isis whined, "That's reserved for Ritsu."
"WELL DON'T MAKE WISECRACKS IN FRONT OF ME!" screamed Mio.
"Hit me again and I will lift my leg on your shoes," Isis threatened.
"You do and I'll cut off your charm!" said Mio making her sword appear.
"Provided you can catch me," Isis taunted as she rubbed herself against Sasha's legs.
"I can catch you! Anymore from you and you will be dead!"
"I don't think so! Actions speak louder than words, you know."
"Ladies if you're done arguing then you'll notice we're here in New Bark Town," Erza said, "Only it's now it's covered in darkness."
"Green run a scan and see where it's coming from," said Naruto.
"Yes Naruto," Yukie said running a scan, "This is odd."
"What?" asked Azusa.
"The Darkness seems to be coming from the people themselves," Yukie said.
"What could that be all about?" Yui said.
"This doesn't normally happen out here," Sasha added.
The others were lost in thought. "Hmmmm…"
"And guys, more bad news," Yukie said, "The Sanzu River's rising faster."
"There has to be some kind of monster making it all like this." said Naruto. "FIND IT!"
"Found it," Yukie said, "It's an Org."
"Then let's take it down!" said Yui as she and Azusa got on Twilight Sparkle.
In the town the Org was terrorizing the people and making them cry. The Org was also had Boxing Gloves showing it was themed on a Boxer.
"This is fun," Boxing Org said as he and the Putrids terrorized the public.
"Well your fun is gonna be KO'd." said a voice.
"Who said that?" Boxing Org growled, "Show yourself or prepared to be pounded."
"Gladly." said Naruto appearing with his team.
"Who the fuck are you?" Boxing Org hissed.
"GOKAI CHANGE!"
Naruto and his Team Transformed into the Gokaigers.
"GOKAI RED!"
"GOKAI BLUE!"
"GOKAI GREEN!"
"GOKAI YELLOW!"
"GOKAI PINK!"
"GOKAI SILVER!"
"PIRATE SENTAI GOKAIGER!"
"Putrids. Get them!" Boxing Org snapped.
"Let's make this showy!" said Naruto before charging. "Take this!" The Gokaigers delivered a wave of blows, showing the power of teamwork as they delivered a smashing on Boxing Org.
"OW!" Boxing Org yelped.
"In Honor of the Red Lion Let's go Wild Force," Naruto said.
"GOKAI CHANGE!"
The Gokaigers morphed into the Wild Force Rangers.
"Don't hog all the fun!" said Yui appearing with her team.
Right on cue a swarm of Moogers appeared.
"SUPER CHARGE: NATURE FLASH!"
The Girls morphed into the Nature Force.
"STRONG AS A TREE: PINK NATURE RANGER!"
"SOLID AS THE EARTH: YELLOW NATURE RANGER!"
"FAST AS LIGHTNING: BLACK NATURE RANGER!"
"FULID AS THE SEA: BLUE NATURE RANGER!"
"FEARSOME AS FIRE: RED NATURE RANGER!"
"EVERCHANGING AS THE WIND: WHITE NATURE RANGER!"
"NATURE MIGHT: READY TO FIGHT!"
"POWER RANGERS NATURE FORCE!"
"They stole that from the Mystic Force," Isis remarked as she and the Ponies were watching from the Skyship.
"I'll get you!" said B blasting them. when the smoke cleared all that was left are the suits. B gloated tell he got slashed form behind by Yui as she and her team used the extra suit trick.
"That trick is 1 of my favs." said Ritsu.
"Now they're stealing from Ninja Storm," Isis said again.
"And Kakuranger." said Twilight.
"What next?" Georgia asked, "Toqger?"
"GOKAI CHANGE!"
The Gokaigers then transformed into the Toqgers. "A toast to my big mouth!" said Georgia.
"For once this is a good thing you tempted fate," Isis said, "Which is more than I can say for Applejack and Twilight."
"Enough talking, more fighting!" Ritsu said. "Come on!"
"YAAAAAAAAH!" roared the Nature Force and the Toqgers, delivering waves of attacks on Boxing Org while dodging its counterattacks.
"You won't defeat me that easily," Boxing Org said.
"Let's bring them together!" said Naruto.
The Gokaigers combined the Toqger's weapons.
"Renketsu Bazooka," the Gokaigers called, "Fire."
"AHH! I'M PUNCHING OUT!" cried Boxing Org before blowing up.
On a hill top Nayzor, Asuna, and Desperado saw everything.
"Revive him Asuna," Nayzor said.
"Right."
Asuna sent down the beans to revive Boxing Org.
"OH YEAH!" Boxing Org cheered.
"Sky Ship," Naruto called. The Skyship appeared.
"Q-Rex Drill!" called Sasuke. The Q-Rex Drill appeared.
"Let's move!" said Naruto. The Gokaigers jumped into their Zords.
"This is not good," Glumshanks said back at the Egg Carrier.
"Relax Glumshanks," Akane said, "I've got it covered."
"WE NEED NINJAZORD POWER NOW!"
Right on cue the Ninja Zords appeared.
"Let's go!" said Yui leaping to the Falcon.
The Nature Force jumped into their Zords as well.
"Battle Stations!" said Naruto in the Skyship.
Right on cue Giant Moogers appeared.
"All zords prepare to launch!" said Naruto.
"Got it," Maria Sasha Yukie and Karen said.
The Sky Ship opened up.
"Release the Zords."
"Huh," Boxing Org asked.
Right on cue the Zords emerged and combined.
"Legendary Megazord Ready."
"Let's get in this too!" said Yui. "ZORDS COMBINE!"
The Ninja Zords combined to form the Ninja Falcon Megazord.
"Oh yeah?" asked Boxing Org "TAKE THIS!"
Boxing Org began beating on the Megazords doing damage to them.
"Naruto let's try the Wild Force Rangers' Grand Power?" Sasha suggested.
"Good call!" said Naruto getting the right key out.
"Red Lion Descend!"
"ROAR!" The Red Lion arrived and began attacking the Org.
"Ow," Yelped Boxing Org.
"Let's combine with the Red Lion," Naruto said.
"Roar!"
"Red Lion Combine," Naruto called as the Top half of the Legendary Megazord combined with the Red Lion.
"Legendary Wild Force Megazord Ready!"
Boxing Org attacked. The Megazord dodged before attacking. Boxing Org attacked again.
"Let's finish this," Naruto said.
"You bet!" said Yui. "FLYING POWER PUNCH!"
The attack struck home and did its job.
"AHH! I'VE BEEN KO'D!" cried Boxing Org before blowing up.
"Nature Force. Victory is ours," Yui said.
"YEAAAAAAHHHH!" roared the others.
Later at the Pokemon Lab…"Here we are everyone," Erza said, "Professor Elm's Lab."
"Just in time for our afternoon tea time." said Mugi. "Right Pinkie?"
"Right," Pinkie said.
The group then went to find Professor Elm.
"Where is he, though?" asked Mugi, looking around.
"My Pinkie Senses do not detect his presence," Pinkie added, also looking around.
"Found him," Lucy said.
"Pinkie Sense FAIL!" She put herself in a corner to sulk.
"Oh hi," said Elm. "May I help you?"
"We're looking to register for the Johto League," Ui said.
"Hmmm…" Elm went to work.
"Uh, Elm," Erza said, "Shouldn't we be going to a Pokemon Center?"
"Erza?"
"Yes Elm it's me," Erza said.
Elm ran to hug her.
"I guess Elm was scatterbrained without Erza to help him out," Lucy whispered.
"I guess so," said Yui.
"Huh," said Elm seeing the ponies after the hug ended. "I've never seen these Pokémon before."
"I BEG YOUR PARDON!" screamed Rarity.
"Elm you really shouldn't have said that," Erza said, "These are Ponies not Pokémon."
"Huh?" asked Elm.
"It's a long story," Erza said.
"My name is Rarity, representing the Element of Generosity, aligned with the Mane 6. I am one of the representatives of Princess Twilight Sparkle from Equestria!" Rarity said. "We are not Pokemon! We are ponies, and have been assigned, with the blessings of Princess Celestia, to assist the Combined Forces of Hokago Tea Time and the Thompson Combine, with their adventures. Do I make myself clear!?"
"Do you have an idea?" Erza asked, "Rarity hates it when people refer to her as a Pokemon."
"Sorry, I understand," Elm said, "That said, let's get you guys registered for the Johto League. Fortunately there's a Pokemon Center in town."
A montage of work scenes ensued on the broadcast, including a long queue, paperwork filled out, a few interviews from the Center staff, as well as some impromptu interview of Rarity from some interested members of the press.
"And here we are," Erza said.
The gang were in the Pokemon Center and Ash and Hokago Tea Time got registered.
"Good Morning." said Nurse Joy. "How may I-HOKAGO TEA TIME?"
"Please, keep it down," Ritsu begged.
Joy blushed. "So how may I help you?" Joy asked.
"We are here to register for the Johto League. All of us."
"All of you. The entire group?"
"Correct."
"I'll take a look at your Pokemon," Joy said. Ash nodded.
On the edge of town Nayzor was having a conversation with Master Xandred.
"Master Xandred I assure you I have a plan in motion," Nayzor spoke, "All I need is an Org Spirit."
"Fine." said Xandred.
Xandred sent an Org Spirit to Nayzor.
"And to put my plan into action," Nayzor said.
"And that should do it," said Nurse Joy. "You are fully registered to enter the Johto League for this season. Membership is renewed on an annual basis. Good luck in the competition!"
"So are we ready for our debut concert here in the Johto Region?" Twilight asked.
"Just as soon as we buy some land and build our Johto house," said Sawako.
"And where do you expect to build that?" Ursula asked, "Here in New Bark Town?"
"DUH!" said Ritsu.
"I might know a good spot," Erza said.
"Where?" asked Mio.
A note.
"Let's go buy it." said Sawako.
"Hold it," Georgia said, "How do we know somebody else hasn't already bought it by now?"
"Synergy, check," said Sawako.
"Right away," Synergy responded. "Accessing land value…processing environmental impact report…detecting nearby tenants and possible nearby tenants…"
"Well?" Yui asked.
"Final answer: nobody's bought it yet," Synergy said.
"Then let's get it," Mugi said.
"Before somebody else does," Rose said. Mugi went to work.
Meanwhile Nayzor had acquired a Baseball, compliments of Asuna and Desperado.
"Here you are General," Asuna said, "Though I don't see how a baseball is going to help us."
Meanwhile, another montage of the broadcast took place as a number of volunteers from New Bark Town assisted the band with the creation of what would be called Music Room NBT. The total construction time took the span of two hours, as materials were pre-made through arrangements with the volunteers and the Thompson combine.
"Home sweet home," Rita said looking over the new Music Room.
"Synergy get the stage set up," said Mio.
"Yes Mio," Synergy said setting up the stage, located one kilometer away from the house.
The band then went to take a shower. "3 homes, 3 regions, can it get any better then this?" asked Mugi.
"Yes it can," Sara said, "How about a fourth home in a fourth region?"
"Baby steps," said Yui washing her back.
"Oh right I forgot," Sara blushed, "I'm getting ahead of myself."
"Are we getting close to our wedding anniversary?" asked Mugi.
"We are," Reina said, lathering her hair. "How long has it been since you six originally arrived in this world?"
"To be honest it's been quite a while," Azusa said.
"Synergy should have our wedding recorded in her memory, let's watch it later." said Ritsu.
"Hey as long as we're in the shower can we talk about Comedy films like Larry the Cable Guy?" Rose asked.
"Sure," said Ritsu.
"Why did you decide to bring up Larry the Cable Guy?" Mio asked.
"Have you seen the intro for Larry the Cable Guy Health Inspector?" Rita asked.
"Not really," said Yui washing her legs. "Mio, pass me the soap."
"Got it."
"Mmmmm…"
"Well, anyway, the intro has Larry peeing while he's taking a shower," Rose said.
"EW!"
"You should see the rest of the movie," Sara said. "It's a cult classic out here."
"God, please don't make me remember my morning sickness," Mio begged.
"Or the time you peed after being demorphed due to Dreadhead kicking your ass," Sawako mentioned.
Mio blushed at that. "Stop it!"
"Costumes are ready!" called Rarity. The girls cheered as they rushed towards Rarity. "As always Sawako and I have outdone ourselves!" she said. These were the same uniforms as the last concert; they were dry-cleaned.
At the stage the crowd was waiting for the Concert to begin. "Too much blush?" Yui asked after putting on her makeup.
"Yeah," Reina said, "don't forget to let your natural beauty show up."
"Shall I start?" Synergy asked.
The band nodded.
Synergy started her lightshow.
The crowd was impressed.
"Good evening!" Yui said. "I am Yui Hirasawa, she's Mio Akiyama, she's Ritsu Tainaka, she's Tsumugi Kotobuki, she's Azusa Nakano, she's my sister Ui, and those girls in the background are the Thompsons. We're Hokago Tea Time! This is Play Ball!"
"Listen!
Pick me up
Fill my cup
Pour me another round
Come on in, mix in the sin
Come in and join the crowd
I said it's party time
When I'm on the loose
Make it feel alright
Listen, drinks all around
I'm in the mood
Because the night is mine
Let's play ball
Shoot it down the wall
Let's play ball, baby

Play, play, play ball
Let's play ball
Shootin' down the wall
Let's play ball
And never stall
Let's play ball
Let's play ball
Let's play ball
Play, play, play ball!"
"Here's our second song," said Mio. "It's called 'Rock Or Bust.'"
"Hey yeah
Are you ready
We be a guitar band
We play across the land
Shootin' out tonight
Gonna keep you up alright
You hear the guitar sound
Playin' nice and loud
Rock you to your knees
Gonna make your destiny
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock n' roll we trust, it's rock or bust
We hear the siren scream
It sounds so lean to me
We love to shake it down

We turn the amps up high
The crowd's gonna hit the sky
We play it fast and loose
Because this night we're gonna pull a fuse
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock n' roll we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust!"
"Thank you!" Ritsu said to the crowd. "Here's our next song, it's called 'Rock The Blues Away!' Everyone get up and groove to this!"
"Drivin' in my car
Headed for the local bar
Pickin' up my girl tonight
Everything is gonna be alright
Shootin' pool with my friends
Smokin' cigarettes
Tellin' jokes out loud
We're laughing way too proud
And we rock it
And we roll it
And we're laughing
And we're joking
And we roll it
Baby we roll it, roll it,
We won't get the blues because we
Rock the blues away
Up all night and day
Drink the night away
Until the light of day
And when I'm on the way back home
I listen to the radio
I hear some great rock sounds
That make you wanna sing out loud
And we rock it
And we roll it
And we're laughing
And we're joking
And we roll it
Baby we're rockin' and rollin',
We won't get the blues because we
Rock the blues away
Up all night and day
Drink the night away
Until the light of day
Rock the blues away
Up all night and day
Drink the night away
Until the light of day, yeah yeah
Rock the blues away
Up all night and day
Drink the night away
Until the light of day…"
"Thanks guys!" Mugi said. "We like playing all different types of music. Here's one for you shipgirl lovers. It's called 'Fubuki'!" And here to sing it, Azusa-chan!"
"Thank you, Mugi-sempai," Azusa replied in her Yamato outfit, as she put away her guitar and did a pose.
"Send it out! Send it out! Oh feelings, be known!
Yes, the entirety of that day… your smile… my wishes,
For my precious time with you;
Send it out!
Where the blue of the sea expands,
Just beyond those red bricks,
It's there…
Beyond the sparkling waves,
Is a sky of gathering clouds, so blinding.
Ahh
Even if I choose my words carefully,
And avert my eyes,
An unseen tomorrow is still there,
Along with your smile!
Like a white, white blizzard;
Yes, this feeling that I knew of before we even met,
Is only even stronger in this moment.
Powerfully! Powerfully! My wishes, mightily!
I'll take your hand…
And feel out tomorrow…
To the gentle future I believe in, send it out!
The sun sinks beyond the horizon,
The sunset bathing you in color…
You know…
I allow myself to consider,
I might want to stay like this forever,
But…
Things can't be that way, can they?
Do I really have to go?
After getting my breath in order,
I charge straight into the spray!
I want to be singing, singing with you;
Days of battle are surely,
Not everything:
I mustn't lose my way!
Listen, listen, listen to that voice!
So take my hand…
And return to tomorrow…
Back to that place that will surely feel familiar!
Within a storm of time, in this moment,
Tears of flowers dance through the air;
Along with a headwind, tonight will bring a petal blizzard.
Pile high, pile high just like white snow –
Just like calm, transparent time.
I'm sure… I'm sure that just like my very first snow,
I'll never forget this moment――
Deep, deep like deep snow;
Yes, this pain I knew of before it even started,
Is only even deeper in this moment.
Powerfully, powerfully tie these feeling together!
I'll take your hand…
Feel out tomorrow…
And to a tranquil, gentle sea, send it out!
I'll send it to you!"
"Azunyan on lead vocals, ladies and gentlemen!" said Yui, applauding as well with the crowd as Azusa bowed and donned Muttan once again. "Has anyone heard of Charli XCX?" Everyone raised their hands. "Oh, then you'll know this one. It's called 'Break the Rules.'"
"Electric lights
Blow my mind
But I feel alright
And never stop, it's how we ride
Comin' up until we die
You catch my eye
Bitch, you wanna fly
I'm so alive
Never stop, it's how we ride
Comin' up until we die
I don't wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
Boys and girls across the world
Putting on our dancing shoes
Going to the discotheque
Getting high and getting wrecked
I don't wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
I don't wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
Boys and girls across the world
Putting on our dancing shoes
Going to the discotheque
Getting high and getting wrecked
I don't wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
I'm such a star
Queen boulevard
Blaze through the dark
And never stop, it's how we ride
Comin' up until we die
I don't wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
Boys and girls across the world
Putting on our dancing shoes
Going to the discotheque
Getting high and getting wrecked
I don't wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
Get my guitar
Sunglasses on
So light it up
And never stop, it's how we ride
Comin' up until we die
I don't wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
Boys and girls across the world
Putting on our dancing shoes
Going to the discotheque
Getting high and getting wrecked
I don't wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
Na na na na na na na na na na na na…"
"This next song," said Ui, getting a drink of water, "is an old favorite of ours. It's called 'Ready To Go.'" On the monitor, scenes from the Winter 2015 anime season were airing. The crowd were waving flags of every country.
"You're weird, in tears, too near and too far away,
He said, saw red, went home stayed in bed all day,
Your t'shirt, dish dirt,
Always love the one you hurt
It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops shouting out,
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops having it
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out, shout it out
You sleep, too deep, one week is another world
Big mouth, big mouth, drop out, drop out
You get what you deserve
You're stange, insane, one thing you can never change
It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops shouting out,
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops having it
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out, shout it out
Abused, confused, always love the one that
hurt ya hurt ya hurt ya
It's a crack, baby I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go..."
"This is our next song," Yui said. "It's called 'Texas.'"
"It's been a while, and I've been alone
and you've been the only thing I've known
Born in the South, at home in the North
We could be anywhere you want
Now you're taking me down where you grew up
I wish I had known you when we were young
You figured me out, I know I've said it enough
but waiting is just too much
So cover my skin with your sunkissed light
There's a bonfire burning tonight
We could be all right
Evaline, Evaline, Evaline, Evaline
Picture it now, down the road
Oh just say the word and I'll go
Wherever you are, whatever the coast
You are the one I care for the most
Remember the night we slept on the roof?
I didn't sleep much to tell the truth
Now we're the sand caught in the tide
We laugh until we cry
Won't you cover my skin with your sunkissed light
There's a bonfire burning tonight
We could be all right
Evaline, Evaline, Evaline, Evaline
Pull me closer, hold me tighter
The nights are long but the stars are brighter
Pull me closer, hold me tighter
Take me down, take me down, take me down
Won't you cover my skin with your sunkissed light
There's a bonfire burning tonight
We could be all right
Evaline, Evaline, Evaline, Evaline…"
"This next song," Mio said, "is one of our favorite songs. It's called 'California (There Is No End To Love). Mugi."
"Yes," Mugi said, playing a few notes.
"Bar-Bar-Barbara, Santa Barbara
Bar-Bar-Barbara, Santa Barbara
Bar-Bar-Barbara, Santa Barbara
Bar-Bar-Barbara, Santa Barbara
California
Then we sail into the shiny sea
The weight that drags your heart down
Well, that's what took me where I need to be
Which is here, out on Zuma
Watching you cry like a baby
California
At the dawn you thought would never come
But it did
Like it always does
Whoa, oh, all I know
And all I need to know is
There is no, yeah,
There is no end to love
I didn't call you
Words can scare a thought away
Everyone's a star in our town
It's just your light gets dimmer if you have to stay
In your bedroom, in a mirror
Watching yourself cry like a baby
California
The blood orange sunset brings you to your knees
I've seen for myself, there's no end to grief
That's how I know
Whoa, that's how I know
And why I need to know
That there is no, yeah,
There is no end to love
Whoa, oh, all I know
And all I need to know is
There is no, yeah,
There is no end to love
Whoa, oh, all I know
And all I need to know is
There is no, yeah,
There is no end to love
Whoa, we come and go
With stolen days you don't get back
Stolen days are just enough."
"This is our next song before we take a break for intermission," said Ritsu. "This is called 'Every Breaking Wave.'"
"Every breaking wave on the shore
Tells the next one "there'll be one more"
And every gambler knows that to lose
Is what you're really there for
Summer I was fearless
Now I speak into an answer phone
Like every fallen leaf on the breeze
Winter wouldn't leave it alone, alone
If you go...
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so...
Are we so helpless against the tide?
Baby, every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing every breaking wave?
Every sailor knows that the sea
Is a friend made enemy
Every shipwrecked soul knows what it is
To live without intimacy
I thought I heard the captain's voice
But it's hard to listen while you preach
Like every broken wave on the shore
This is as far as I could reach
If you go...
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so...
Are we so helpless against the tide?
Baby, every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing every breaking wave?
The sea knows where are the rocks
And drowning is no sin
You know where my heart is
The same place that yours has been
We know that we fear to win
And so we end before we begin
Before we begin
If you go...
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so...
Are we so helpless against the tide?
Baby, every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing every breaking wave?"
The band then took their intermission break and on the video monitor were PVs for new shows and sequels coming in Spring 2015, getting the people hyped. When the intermission concluded, the girls returned to a thunderous applause. "Are you ready for more?" asked Yui to the fans. "Okay, here's our next song. It's called 'Lonely Boy' and dedicated to lonely boys. Ui!"
Ui started the number and Yui put on her admiral's hat.
"Well I'm so above you
And it's plain to see
But I came to love you anyway
So you pulled my heart out
And I don't mind bleeding
Any old time you keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Well your mama kept you but your daddy left you
And I should've done you just the same
But I came to love you
Am I born to bleed?
Any old time you keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Hey!
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting!"
"Anybody feel like spinning around? Like a record?" asked Ritsu, making a circle with her left drumstick. "Oh you guys are spinning already, silly me. This song is called 'You Spin Me Round Like A Record.'"
"Yeah I, I got to know your name
Well and I, could trace your private number baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
I want some
Well I...I set my sights on you
(and no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby
(and no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're havin' fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come
You spin me right round, baby
right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
I, I got be your friend now, baby
And I would like to move in
Just a little bit closer
(little bit closer)
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come
You spin me right round, baby
right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
I want your love
I want your love
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come
You spin me right round, baby
right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round..."
"This next song," Yui said as the fans roared, "is a song dedicated to Russia. It's called 'Rasputin.'"
"There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstacy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
for power became known to more and more people,
the demands to do something about this outrageous
man became louder and louder.
"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
And he really came
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and he said "I feel fine"
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead.
Oh, those Russians."
The crowd were dancing around, clapping their hands as the band continued to rock. "This song is a Kiss staple," Mio said. "It's called 'I Was Made For Loving You, and to provide lead vocals, the Thompsons!"
"Thanks, Mio," Rose said. "Are you ready, New Bark?" They roared. "Okay!" Mio's bass set things up.
"Tonight I wanna give it all to you
In the darkness
There's so much I wanna do
And tonight I wanna lay it at your feet
'Cause girl, I was made for you
And girl, you were made for me
I was made for lovin' you baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you baby
Can you get enough of me
Tonight I wanna see it in your eyes
Feel the magic
There's something that drives me wild
And tonight we're gonna make it all come true
'Cause girl, you were made for me
And girl I was made for you
I was made for lovin' you baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you baby
Can you get enough of me
I was made for lovin' you baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can give it all to you baby
Can you give it all to me
Oh, can't get enough, oh, oh
I can't get enough, oh, oh
I can't get enough
Yeah, ha
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
I was made for lovin' you baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you baby
Can you get enough of me
Oh, I was made, you were made
I can't get enough
No, I can't get enough
I was made for lovin' you baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you baby
Can you get enough of me
I was made for lovin' you baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can give it all to you baby
Can you get enough of me?"
"This next song," said Reina Thompson, "Is a Royal Concept standard. It's 'On Our Way!' Everyone, get up and dance!'" Reina did lead vocals as Mugi and Ritsu got the number started.
"'ll believe when the walls stop turning
I'll believe when the storm is through
I believe I hear them say
David won't stop writing songs
I never wanna shake their hands and stay
I never wanna shake their hands and stay
Oh no let's go
We are young, we are one
Let us shine for what it's worth
To your place, place, place
We're on our way, way, way
We're on our way, way, way
We're on our way somehow
Hold me close, close, close
We're losing time, time, time
We're losing time, time, time
We're falling to the ground
I'll believe when the sky is burning
I'll believe when I see the view
I believe that I hear them say
David won't stop dreaming now
And everybody clap your hands and shout
And everybody clap your hands and shout
Oh no, They shout
We are young, we are one
Let us shine for what it's worth
To your place, place, place
We're on our way, way, way
We're on our way, way, way

Hold me close
We're losing time
Hold me close
We're falling to the ground
Taxi drive the sun is rising
Damn the sirens, keep on driving
Flashing light, oh what a night
I miss her bed, I lost my head
And it's sunning, we're still running
For her rooftop, our last stop
Barefoot, naked, don't you let me go
To your place, place, place
We're on our way, way, way
We're on our way, way, way
We're on our way somehow
Hold me close, close, close
We're losing time, time, time
We're losing time, time, time

We're on our way
La la la la la
(This Night Will Never End)
Hold me close, we're losing time
Hold me close, we're falling to the ground."
"You all should know this number," said Azusa. "To sing this one…Yui."
"Um, you should let me take the mike next time," Yui said.
"Spoilsport! Uwaaaa!"
"There, there, it's okay, we still love you," Yui said, kissing Azusa, causing the fans to roar with approval, some of whom their noses were bleeding.
"Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars, yeah we'll be counting stars
I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and you shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, coudn't I, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
I feel the love and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is a four-letter word
Make that money, watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Everything that kills me makes feel alive
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be, counting stars
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt…"
"All right, this is our last number before we call it a night," said Mio. "This song is called No Thank You!"
"We jostle each other around the whiteboard
Making graffiti of our free wishes
Even if the after school chime echoes in the setting sun
You can't diss the power to dream, unfortunately
Let's sing with a louder, louder, louder voice
Carry hope on your lips
Every time when you release words, they turn into light
They're our pieces
I don't need memories
Because I firmly and deeply love "now"
Getting immersed in my memories is a sweet, adult-like luxury
But not yet…I want to hold back from it
Drawing wildly with a marker in the notebook of my heart
It only has points about how I feel like crying when I get pushed
When I'm with everyone, pain and joy
Stick in me with an infinite reverb, how strange
Let's fly always, always, always to the yonder
Our ambition can't wait for the countdown in the tailwind
Every time when I mark the beats, they turn platinum
They're our wings
I don't need promises
Because no one can live besides "now"
Desiring promises is an innocent, child-like frailty
I've already long since…graduated from it
Forever, at any place, I'll certainly keep listening
Even though I don't even need eternity, why can't I seem to lose it?
Our Splendid Songs
Let's sing more, more, more, even if our voices grow hoarse
Praise this moment with your lips
Having maps with the same routes, we were able to encounter each other
It's our bond
NO, Thank You! I don't need memories
Because I firmly and deeply love "now"
Getting immersed in my memories is a sweet, adult-like luxury
But not yet…I want to hold back from it."
"Uh, Mio-chan," Ritsu said, "The crowd wants an encore."
"Do you want an encore?" Mio said. "I can't hear you!" The crowd roared.
"Our flagship song! Thank you for being a wonderful audience tonight! This song is called 'Fuwa Fuwa Time!' Get on your feet and clap your hands! Come on!"
"When I look at you, my heart always goes thump-thump
This shaking feeling is fluffy-fluffy, like a marshmallow
You're always so persistent, You don't even notice
Me, always staring at your profile
When we're in my dreams,
The distance between us can be shortened
Oh, God, please
Give some Dream Time for just the two of us!
Cuddling my favorite bunny doll, Goodnight again, tonight
Fluffy time (Fluffy time)
Fluffy time (Fluffy time)
Fluffy time (Fluffy time)
Again today, your unexpected behavior makes my heart go pound-pound
Reading too much into your casual smile, I overheat!
The serious face of yours I saw one day
Appears even when I close my eyes
Even in my dreams is fine,
I want some Sweet Time for just the two of us!
Oh, God, why
Is this Dream Night so painful that I've come to like it?
I've taken out my emergency teddy bear, will I be okay tonight?
If I could muster just a little courage
And speak to him naturally
I wonder if anything would change?
I think it would, but...
But that's the hardest part of all!
'Cause how would I have an excuse to talk to him?
And then, I'd have to think of something to talk about, and that wouldn't be natural at all!
Aaaaah! That's enough! Just go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep! (That's right! Go to sleep~!)
Oh, God, please
Give me some Miracle Time, just this once!
And afterwards, if I can talk with him no problem... we'll see where it goes.
Fluffy time (Fluffy time)
Fluffy time (Fluffy time)
Fluffy time (Fluffy time)…"
The fireworks went out over the skies of New Bark City. "Thank you everyone, we love you!" exclaimed Yui, tears of happiness falling from her face. "Good night!"
"You girls sure packed it in like always." said Ash at their bedroom.
"What did you expect?" Rose asked.
"Nothing less," said Ash.
The girls giggled.
"Don't you think otherwise!" said Ash before tickling them.
"Lololololol, hahahahahahahaha, that kills!" Rose laughed.
"Pika."
"Australia's pace bowlers have finished the job Steve Smith started to send the co-host storming into a seventh World Cup final with a 95-run victory over champion India at the SCG," Pinkie babbled. "Australia moves on to the Melbourne Cricket Ground and a shot at a fifth title against New Zealand on Sunday, while India heads home after four months Down Under having come up short in its bid to retain the title it won four years ago."
"Here you go," Comet said conjuring a cookie.
"Good job," Lyra said nuzzling Comet.
"It's a talent."
"How about you show us all your other talent," Sweetie Drops suggested seductively.
"As you wish." said Comet going over to her.
"Mmmmmm!" Sweetie Drops felt the warm touch of Comet's manhood going into her as the two of them consummated, her pursed lips, her teary eyes, her inhibition lost to the love that they were making.
"I wonder if the bond can make her rider wanting to jump Ash at the very moment." wondered Twilight.
"Too bad we can't find out," Rainbow said.
Back in Ash's room, Rita and Rose jumped Ash at the same time Sweetie Drops jumped Comet.
"Clothes off mister!" they purred.
"Now, now, let's not rush things," Ash said. "You have to get me settled first." With one swoop, their clothes exploded. "Splendid."
They jumped him again, forming a girl sandwich. "Oh Ash!" Rita and Rose purred, growing cat ears and tails as Ash ravaged them in a threeway that went on for a few hours, their cups filling up fast as they took a critical hit.
"Hokey smoke! Those 2 were on fire!" said Ritsu.
"You took the words right out of my mouth," Mio said.
"Thanks," panted Rose.
"You're welcome," Ash replied kissing Rose.
"I have no idea what came over us!" panted Rita.
"Well whatever it was it was awesome," Reina said, "But for now we should get some sleep. It's gonna be a long flight to Violet City."
Meanwhile Comet was going to Lyra. The other ponies were asleep and Twilight casted a sound proof spell on the two so it was just them. "I hope you're ready Lyra," Comet said.
"You bet." said Lyra raising her tail.
Comet mounted Lyra and began doing her doggy style as they were in pony form.
"Let me know if I'm going too hard on you," he whispered in Lyra ear, causing her to release as he drove deeper into her.
"Haaah, haaaah, no…it's just…it's fine…hyaaah, nyaaan!' Lyra Heartstrings felt waves of euphoria as tears of ecstasy came falling down while Comet injected the venom of lust into her cup that it ran over and they took a critical hit.
"Guys? Why are Reina and Sara sweating?" asked Yui.
The rest of the band saw what Yui was talking about. "You 2 alright?" asked Ash.
"Come and make love to us big boy," Reina and Sara purred already on all fours.
"Wow!" said Ritsu. "Now they're on fire!"
"Ahhhh, hyahhh, not too hard," Sara cried. "That's going too deep, ahhhh! OHHHHHH HYAAAAAH!"
"I can't stop loving you!" Reina cried as she was filled up with his love. "I can't stop this! I can't, no, no, harder, ohh, haaaah, hyaaaah, OHHHHHH!"
"HYAAAAAAAH!" The three of them let out a massive release.
"That was more intense then what I normally put in!" panted Reina.
"Me too!" panted Sara.
"Splendid," said Ash.
"Perhaps we should all get some sleep," Yui suggested, "We're gonna need it."
"Pika."
"Good night everyone," Mio said.
"Night!"
Spike meanwhile decided to take a letter to Celestia.
"Dear Princess Celestia,
Porn, lots of it! Enjoy.
Signed,
Spike.
P.S. We also did a concert and work. And I did nothing. Please, somebody [expletive] me."
"That should do it." he said before sending the letter off. Spike went to get some sleep in a bed before nodding off to his own world, the Kure Navel District, where every shipgirl had their seeds sown at his own undoing.
"Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of Poke-ON!" said the announcer as Nodoka slept in her camisole and panties. "Is anybody watching?" Nodoka was already fast asleep. Good thing the DVR was playing, otherwise, who knows?
END CHAPTER 54
