Hi, everyone! I'm back with another chapter of DC Superhero Girls and Aura Guardian! In this chapter, you'll see a play that's written by Zee Zatara and a new face that may seem scary! And now, on with the story!
*I DON'T OWN POKÉMON OR DC SUPERHERO GIRLS!*
It was another school day in Metropolis, and Zee was hosting auditions for a play she was doing.
Garth Bernstein: "Um, avast scalawag. I'm, um, Swash Buckler, scourge of the Seven Seas."
Actor: "Avast scalawag... I'm swashbuckler scourge of the sev-"
Zee: Swash Buckler, not swashbuckler!
Actor: Oh... I don't get it.
Barry Allen: So, yeah like, um... go ahead and avast, Mr. Scalawag, 'cause I'm, like, Swash Buckler, the scourge of the Seven Seas and stuff, and...
Hal was up next, but he seemed to be posing.
Zee: [yells] Read the lines, Hal!
Ash: You're not modeling!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Hal Jordan: Oh, right. Uh... "Swash Bucklre enters stage right. He stands upon the deck of the..."
Zee: [frustrated] Next! Ugh. This is a disaster, Karen. Swash Buckler of the Seven Seas could be the best play I've ever done! The costumes are hand-sewn, soaked in saltwater for authenticity... the Impolite Minnow is the most ambitious set in Metropolis High history! And the finest most gifted actor ever to grace this stage will play Lady Catherine.
Karen: But I thought you were playing Lady Catherine!
Zee: Look, the point is, none of this matters if I can't find the right actor to play Swash Buckler! [sighs in exasperation]
Karen: Oh! Why don't you have Ash play Swash Buckler?
Zee: Absolutely not! [hugs Ash] Besides, my Ashy gets stage fright sometimes!
Ash: It's true! I may have starred in a few plays from now and then, but nothing like this!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Zee: Exactly!
Clover: Although, if I could make a suggestion, Zee, from most plays we've seen, most of them would have someone play a damsel in distress! And either Sammy, Alex and I could play as one of them!
Ash: Hate to break it to you, Clover, but that's Lady Catherine you're talking about, and that's who Zee will be playing!
Clover: Aw, man!
Zee: But cheer up! You're still in charge of the fashion designs for the play!
Clover: True!
Ash: [to Zee] Point is, I'll do anything I can to help out with your play!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Zee: Thanks, Ashykins! [kisses his cheek] Now, who's next?
Oliver Queen: Greetings, company! [in accent] Stage role. Your leading man has arrived.
Zee: [softly] Oh, no.
Ash: [facepalms] Here we go!
Oliver Queen: The name is Oliver Queen. I've portrayed everyone from the Phantom to the Streetcar. Lois Lane of the Daily Planetoid has called my performances "bold," "brash," and "bang on the beam," which I assume means good.
Decidueye: [lands beside him] DECIDUEYE!
Ash: And his Dartrix evolved into Decidueye!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Zee: Rotom!
Rotom Dex: Leave it to me! Decidueye, the Arrow Quill Pokémon. A Grass and Ghost type. Decidueye's aim is so good that when it fires its arrow quills, it can hit a pebble over a hundred yards away.
Karen: Whoa!
Rowlet: [flies out of Ash's backpack] ROW! [goes over to Decidueye] [raises wing in greeting] ROW!
But...
Decidueye: [dismissive] CIDUEYE!
Rowlet: ROW?! [angry] ROW ROW!
Zee: And it's still as vain as usual!
Ash: Agreed!
Oliver Queen: So... do you want to go through with this charade of me auditioning or shall we proceed to dress rehearsal?
Karen: [whispers] I dunno Zee, Oliver seems pretty perfect.
Zee: Uh, I hate to admit it... I mean, really hate to admit it, but-
Mortimer Drake: [in distance] "Avast, ye scalawags!"
Ash: Who said that?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Sam: Look up there!
[crowd chattering]
Mortimer Drake: [swings from rope and kicks Oliver in the face]
Oliver Queen: [groan]
Mortimer Drake: "I am Swash Buckler, scourge of the Seven Seas! Look not to this coward for salvation! With Swash Buckler at the helm, the horizon holds treasures to last to your dying days! There's no chains to hold you now, men!"
[all cheering]
Mortimer Drake: "Fill the sails with freedom's wind! And throw that bloated symbol of yesteryear to the sharks!"
All except Oliver Queen: Yeah! [pick him up]
Oliver Queen: Put me down! What are you doing? [scream]
Ash: [laughs] That's kinda funny!
Pikachu: [laughing] PIKA PIKA!
Mortimer Drake: Ha-ha!
Zee: Who are you, stranger?
Mortimer Drake: Who am I? Why, I'm your new Swash Buckler, m'lady!
Escavalier: [beside him] ESCAVALIER!
Karen: EEP! [hides behind Ash]
Ash: An Escavalier!
Zee: [pulls out her Rotom Phone] Hmmm. Escavalier!
Zee's Rotom Phone: Escavalier, the Cavalry Pokémon. A Bug and Steel type. They fly around at high speed, striking with their pointed spears. Even when in trouble, they face opponents bravely.
Zee: Interesting!
Ash: [to Mortimer] Is it yours?
Mortimer Drake: Indeed it is!
Ash: Awesome! [to Zee] Zee, I think we've found our Swash Buckler!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Zee: I think you're right, dear!
Oliver Queen: No he's not! Put me down! You're not seriously considering this hack, are you?
Zee just smiled innocently and shrugged.
Oliver Queen: [gasp] You are! You are, aren't you! Look at me!
Decidueye: DEC DECIDUEYE!
Zee: [whispers] What do I do, you guys? A second ago I didn't have a Swash Buckler and now I've got two!
Karen: Maybe you should do callbacks and then decide!
Zee: [smirks] Hmm. Oliver would hate that...
Ash: I think they should have a one-on-one Pokémon battle! Winner gets the role of Swash Buckler!
Zee: That won't be necessary, my dear!
Ash: [pouts] Aww man!
Soon, Zee had decided to do callbacks.
Oliver Queen: Callbacks?! Ha! I've never been so insulted in my life. Who is this arrogant, incompetent, pompous-
Karen: Mortimer... Drake. And, um, don't be so hard on Zee. She's just trying to make sure the right person gets the role, you know.
Ash: Yeah! It's one of the many reasons why I love her so much!
Zee: Aww! Ashykins!
Ash: Hey, Zee!
Zee: Hi, Ashykins!
Ash: [hugs her] Knowing you, I'd say you've chosen the right person to lead this play!
Zee: Mmhmm!
Ash: And I know you're willing to choose the best person to play Swash Buckler!
Oliver Queen: As she should! As long as it's me.
Ash: Oh it'll be you! When Grumpig fly!
Oliver Queen: Oh, really?! Those are fighting words!
Zee became angry when Oliver threatened him like that.
Zee: [angry] You mess with my Ashykins, and you'll have to deal with me!
Oliver Queen: [chuckles nervously] [whistles]
Clover: And you'll also have to deal with three tough chicks! [cracks her knuckles]
Pikachu: [amazed] PIKA PIKA...
Ash: That's my honorary big sis for you!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Oliver Queen: [gulps]
Later, they were listening to Mortimer rehearse.
Mortimer Drake: "Dawn breaks in the west tonight, men. The laws of this mortal world no longer bind us! We are here to brave the sirens and sea herself..."
Ash: Man he's good! Right Zee?
Zee: He sure is!
Clover: And he's a total hunk!
Ash: Hey, I thought you had eyes for David?
Clover: Oh! [sweat drops] Yeah! Over time, David really wasn't all that into me! He was totally oblivious to me!
Ash: I'm sorry, Clover.
Pikachu: [ears drop] PIKA PIKA.
Clover: Hey, don't worry about it!
That's when Oliver thought of a sneaky idea, as he took a couple of song lyrics out of Karen's bag.
Oliver Queen: Time to push this pointless competition over the tipping... point. [to Decidueye] [whispers] Spirit Shackle!
Decidueye: [Spirit Shackle move] DE...CIDUEYE!
That's when Decidueye shot the Spirit Shackle with the song lyrics at Mortimer's script.
Mortimer Drake: "...sailors on eternity's tides. So come on girl, listen to me, uh huh, uh-huh.. Baby, baby, oh, can't you see? [stuttering] That me plus you... equals love that's...
Karen: [singing] "True!"
Ash: Singing isn't part of the script, is it?
Clover: Who cares?! I love it!
Zee: Are those... Up Past 8 lyrics? Thank you, I've heard enough.
Mortimer Drake: [stuttering] But.. but...
Zee: I take the theater very seriously, sir! Perhaps as Oliver's understudy you'll see that there's no room for these sorts of sophomoric jokes on my stage!
Sam: Agreed! Understood?
Mortimer Drake: Of course. I respect your decision. The important thing is that the right person gets the role.
Oliver Queen: [cunning laugh]
Sylveon: [in costume] VEON!
Zee: You look great, Sylveon!
Sylveon: [happy] VEON!
Ash: Hold on, Zee! Is Sylveon gonna be in the play too?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Zee: She sure is!
Sylveon: SYLVE!
Decidueye: [mocking Sylveon] DECIDUEYE!
Sylveon: [annoyed] [red vain] VEON!
Decidueye: [smirks] CIDU!
Zee: Who asked for your opinion?!
Karen: Um, Zee! I hate to bother you, but we've got two last minute audition requests by two people that goes by the names of Frostbite and Jesselina!
Ash: Last minute auditions?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Zee: Alright! Send in this "Frostbite" person first!
Soon, Frostbite entered.
Frostbite: Uh, hello! My name is Frostbite! And I'm here to audition for this play!
Zee: Very well! Begin!
Rotom Dex: Read the script!
Frostbite: Okay! [reading script] Uh... [tosses it] Look at me, I'm Swash Buckler! [pirate voice] Argh! Avast ye, scurvy dogs!
Zee: Um...pretty good! But uh, you were supposed to go by the script! Better luck next time!
Frostbite: Aww! Phooey! [leaves]
Zee: Next!
Soon, the girl known as "Jesselina" came in.
Jessie "Jesselina": Hello! I'm Jesselina! And I'm here to audition for this play so I can achieve my goal of being a proper actress!
Alex: [whispers to Clover and Sam] Just by looking at her, she looks very familiar!
Zee: Wonderful! Begin!
Jessie "Jesselina": "Ready the Impolite Minnow. My uncle will rue the day he crossed me." [laughs] This proves that I'm the best girl to play the leading role as Lady Catherine!
Ash: That was pretty good, but I'm sorry to tell you that the role of Lady Catherine has been taken by Zee!
Jessie "Jesselina": WHAT?! [furious] How dare you! I am an actress! I will not be turned down an opportunity to reach my goal! So either let me have the part or else!
Zee: Security!
Lucario: [dragging her away by the ear] MRAH!
Jessie "Jesselina": Ow ow ow ow ow ow! You'll regret this!
Ash: [sarcastic] Sure!
Alex: [to Oliver] Alright, Oliver! You got the part as Swash Buckler, but no funny business! Understood?
Oliver Queen: Funny business? Me? Never!
Zee: Good! We'll be watching you!
Sylveon: [glaring at Decidueye] [sparks fly] SYLVEON!
Decidueye: [glaring at Sylveon] [sparks fly] DECIDUEYE!
["Who's That Pokémon?" time]
[as a silhouette shows an owl Pokémon]
Ash, Zee, Karen, Sam, Alex, Clover and Oliver: Who's that Pokémon?
Ash, Zee, Karen, Sam, Alex, Clover and Oliver: It's Decidueye!
[as the silhouette reveals Decidueye]
Decidueye: DECIDUEYE!
[End]
Soon, rehearsals began! But a shadowy figure was about to cause trouble!
Zee: "Ready the Impolite Minnow. My uncle will rue the day he crossed me."
Sylveon: [acting] SYLVEON!
Oliver Queen: "Of course, Lady Catherine."
Decidueye: [acting] DECIDUEYE!
Oliver Queen: "We'll reach the channel by sundown... and my men shall-" [scream]
The shadowy figure had caused one of the sand bags to fall and nearly hit Oliver! Oliver looked and saw Mortimer giving Barry and Garth doughnuts and being innocent! Then, Oliver was practicing his sword technique for the play, when the shadowy figure pulled a lever, releasing the trap door on the stage and causing him to fall in! Oliver climbed out and looked to see Mortimer reading the script and being innocent!
Escavalier: [to Decidueye] [waving] ESCAV!
Decidueye: [suspicious] CIDUEYE!
Oliver was then rowing a prop boat with Zee and Sylveon in it as he was feeling nervous about what might happen next to him, much to Zee and Sylveon's dismay as they walked away from him and a cannon was literally fired at Oliver, caused by the shadowy figure! But luckily, Oliver managed to duck before it could hit him.
Decidueye: [to Oliver] [telling him something strange is going on] DECIDUE CIDUE! CID CID DECIDUEYE!
Oliver Queen: I agree, Decidueye! Something fishy is going on around here! And it's not the costumes!
Clover heard that and was offended!
Clover: [offended] Why I never!
Soon, the play was about to begin, as Oliver peeked through the curtain at the audience.
Oliver Queen: You! I'm warning you, Drake. No funny business tonight.
Ash: Oliver, what's gotten into you?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Mortimer Drake: I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about, Queen.
Clover: That's right! [pats him on the head] He hasn't been causing any trouble all day!
Oliver Queen: Oh, you know perfectly well what I'm talking about! You've been trying to sabotage me ever since I... sabotaged you in callbacks! Well I know your game, Drake.
Sam: You did what?!
Zee: Wait. You sabotaged his audition?!
Ash: Why would you do that?!
Oliver Queen: Of course! The best person had to have a role!
Sylveon: [slaps him with a feeler] SYLVE!
Oliver Queen: OW!
Sylveon: [telling him he's a brute] SYLVEON SYLVE!
Alex: Sylveon's saying that you're a big meanie!
Zee: I agree! [to Mortimer] So YOU will be playing Swash Buckler tonight.
Oliver Queen: What!?
Sam: You heard her!
Zee: I need a leading man with character, which you clearly don't have. Sabotaging a rival, why, it's an insult to the theater!
Ash: [clapping] Yeah, Zee! You tell him!
Pikachu: [clapping] PIKA PIKA!
Clover: And I'm still offended by that comment I heard you say earlier!
Ash: Yeah you "charlatan"!
Oliver Queen: You don't even know what that means! [bops Ash's nose]
Ash: [grabs nose in pain] OW!
Clover: [livid] Okay! That tears it! You can try and insult me and my friends! But nobody hurts my little brother! [tosses a PokéBall] Go, Florges!
Florges: [appearing] FLORGES!
Ash: You caught a Florges, Clover?!
Pikachu: PIKA?!
Clover: Yep! And it matches my color!
Oliver Queen: Uh oh.
Karen: Hmm. [pulls out her Rotom Phone] Florges!
Karen's Rotom Phone: Florges, the Garden Pokémon. A Fairy type. It claims exquisite flower gardens as its territory, and it obtains power from basking in the energy emitted by flowering plants.
Karen: It looks so beautiful!
Alex: [tosses a PokéBall] Oinky 2, you come out too!
Tepig (Oinky 2): [appearing] [oinks] TEPIG!
Ash: You got a Tepig?!
Pikachu: PIKA?!
Alex: Yep! And I named it after my pet pig that's at WOOHP HQ!
Zee: Hmmm. [pulls out her Rotom Phone] Tepig!
Zee's Rotom Phone: Tepig, the Fire Pig Pokémon. A Fire type. It can deftly dodge its foe's attacks while shooting fireballs from its nose. It roasts berries before it eats them.
Zee: It is kinda cute!
Clover: Florges, teach this sabotager a lesson he'll never forget!
Alex: You too, Oinky 2!
Florges: FLORGES!
Tepig (Oinky 2): PIG!
Decidueye: [protective] DECIDUEYE!
Ash: Hate to break it you, but Zee's supposed to be on soon!
Clover: Oh! Right! Stand down, Florges!
Alex: You too, Oinky 2! [holds out her arms] Come to mommy!
Tepig (Oinky 2): [jumps into her arms] TEPIG! [licks her]
Alex: [giggles]
Ash: Good luck out there, Zee! If anyone's the best actress, it's you!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Zee: Thanks, Ashykins! [kisses both of his cheeks] Mwah! Mwah! I love you!
Ash: Love you too!
Zee: Thanks, Ashy! [boops his nose] Come on, Sylveon! The audience await us!
Sylveon: [excited] SYLVE!
Mortimer Drake: [to Oliver] Thanks for the opportunity.
Karen: Sorry, Oliver. But, um, look at it this way. Now you'll have a chance to redeem yourself. You know, to be the bigger man! Maybe you lost the part, but you can gain something even better! Your integrity. You can stand up and say, "I did wrong and I accept the consequences."
Oliver Queen: No, that doesn't sound like me. I'm gonna go trash his dressing room instead! AAH!
Ash: Oh no you don't! You ain't trashing anything!
Soon, he was trashing the dressing room.
[thud]
Oliver Queen: Ugh, no style! Look at this shirt, it's so last season!
Lucario: [dragging him away by the ear] MRAH!
Florges: [dragging him away with Vine Whip] FLOR!
Oliver Queen: Ow ow! Hey! Let me go!
Ash: Not a chance!
Clover: Out and stay out!
Decidueye: [threatening] DECIDUEYE!
Tepig (Oinky 2): [Flamethrower move] TEP...PIG!
Decidueye: [pained] DECID! [leaves] [scared] CIDUEYE!
Ash: Grass types do have a disadvantage against Fire types!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Alex: [rubbing Oinky 2's head] Atta boy, Oinky 2!
Tepig (Oinky 2): [happy] [proud] TEPIG!
Ash: Yeesh! What a mess! You two go enjoy the play! I'll clean up!
Alex: Okie dokie!
Clover: We'll save you some popcorn!
Ash: Awesome! Thanks!
While Ash was cleaning up, Pikachu noticed some papers had fallen out of Mortimer's bag from Oliver's raging.
Pikachu: PIKA?
Ash: What's up, Pikachu?
Pikachu: [pointing to pictures] PIKACHU!
Ash then kneeled down to gather some of the papers, and it turns out they were plays Mortimer was in.
Ash: I guess Mortimer was in a lot of plays!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Ash: [reading] "The cast is generally strong. However, Morty Drake is horribly out of his depth as D'Artagnan. It's an embarrassing turn from an 11-year-old who lacks the necessary gravitas for the part."
Pikachu: PIKA?
Ash: [sweat drops] Guess people who wrote these plays had second thoughts about him!
Pikachu: [sweat drops] [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Ash then noticed a picture of a young Zee Zatara.
Ash: [blushes] Wow! Even when Zee was young, she's still cute!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Ash: [reading] "On the other hand of the spectrum, Zee Zatara was radiant in the role of Milady de Winter, acting circles around hapless Morty Drake." [to Pikachu] That's my Zee Zee for you, buddy!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Ash then noticed one of her pictures had a red X drawn over it!
Ash: Wonder why this one has a red X drawn over it?
However, he noticed another one had a scribble and frowny face!
Ash: I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this!
Soon, he noticed all the pictures of her had been scribbled or had a red X on them! Which meant Mortimer was after Zee!
Ash: Oh no! Mortimer's after Zee! I've gotta warn her!
Meanwhile...
[crowd clapping]
Mortimer Drake: [acting] "Up anchor, men! Sail East, to the heart of King James' dominion! Let's show him how the Impolite Minnow earned her name!"
Escavalier: [acting] ESCAVALIER CAVA!
Zee: [acting] "Oh, but Swash, how can we evade my uncle's entire fleet?"
Sylveon: [acting] SYLVE SYLVEON!
Mortimer Drake: [wraps an arm around Zee tightly] [acting] "Fear not, Lady Catherine. I have experience in treacherous waters with sharks lurking below. Their sharp teeth ready to shred your dreams."
Zee: What? Wait, that isn't the line...
Mortimer Drake: I, too, have had dreams crushed, Lady Catherine. I know the exquisite sting of public humiliation, repeating that awful experience in your mind until you realize that you'll never escape! I know what it's like to be stuck in the worst day imaginable, the day my life was ruined by... you, Zee Zatara!
Crowd: [gasps]
Zee: [gasps] What are you doing?
Mortimer Drake: Hear my name well, for it is the last that shall ever reach your ears. I am...
That's when he donned a Musketeer outfit!
Cavalier: The Cavalier!
[crowd gasping]
Escavalier: [posing] ESCAV!
Sylveon: [confused] SYLVE?
Cavalier: [steps down onto the stage] Though perhaps you might remember me by a different name. Does Mortimer Drake ring a bell?
Clover: No way! He's a bad guy?!
Zee just stood there confused.
Cavalier: [embarrassed] Morty Drake, you know... I was D'Artagnan to your Milady de Winter?
She still stood there confused.
Cavalier: Central City Elementary?
Zee: I... I meet so many people...
Escavalier: [angry] ESCAVA!
Cavalier: [angry] Gah! You shall pay for your crimes, Zee Zatara!
Escavalier: [threatening Sylveon] ESCAVALIER!
Sylveon: [scared] SYLVEON?!
Cavalier: Indeed, Escavalier! We shall have our revenge! [launches rapier at Zee]
Escavalier: [X-Scissor move] ESCAVALIER!
Sam: Zee!
Alex: Oh no!
Clover: [covers her eyes] I can't look!
Just as the sword was about to hit Zee and X-Scissor about to hit Sylveon, a certain Aura hero came swinging in on a rope and grabbed Zee!
Lycanroc: [using Accelerock on Escavalier] ROC!
Escavalier: [pained] CAVA!
Cavalier: What?!
Aura Guardian: Heroes of Justice save the world at the speed of light! Surrender now, or prepare to fight!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Aura Guardian: Don't worry, Zee! I got ya!
Zee: [hugs him] My hero!
Soon, he landed and he set Zee down safely.
Aura Guardian: He didn't hurt you, did he?
Zee: No! I'm okay! Thanks to you! [kisses Ash on the lips]
Aura Guardian: [blushes] [giggles] [to Cavalier] [angry] Nobody tires to hurt my beautiful magic girl and gets away with it!
Pikachu: [angry] [cheeks sparking] PIKACHU!
Zee: Ooh! [swoons]
Cavalier: We'll see about that!
Green Arrow: [appears] Stand back, Aura Guardian!
Aura Guardian: Huh?
Green Arrow: I have a score to settle! [shoots arrows at Cavalier] Energy Ball!
Decidueye: [Energy Ball move] DE...CIDUEYE!
Cavalier: [he and Escavalier dodge] [chuckles]
Green Arrow: [to Hal] Give me a sword!
Hal Jordan: This is the weirdest play ever. [tosses him a sword]
Green Arrow: [takes sword] En garde!
Cavalier: Stay out of my way, Green Arrow! Or taste the bitter steel of my blade!
Escavalier: [threatening] ESCAV!
Green Arrow: [dueling] Never, Cavalier! I will always protect my friends! Even friends I hate, like Zee Zatara!
Aura Guardian: Wow! That's a first!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Aura Guardian: [to Zee] Something tells me he's got this!
Zee: [hugs his arm] And you can be my protector, Ashykins!
Aura Guardian: [smiles] Fine by me!
Green Arrow and Cavalier: [dueling] [effort grunts]
Cavalier: Escavalier, Drill Run!
Escavalier: [Drill Run move] ESCAVALIER!
Green Arrow: Not so fast! Use Sucker Punch, my faithful partner!
Decidueye: [Sucker Punch move] DECIDUEYE!
Escavalier: [hit] CAVA!
Cavalier: [grunts] [cuts the rope on the sail]
Green Arrow: [cuts rope and swings] Eh, you're quite good with a blade, Cavalier. But you've never faced anything like what's in my quiver! [fires net arrow]
Cavalier: [dodges] Ha! Your aim is as muddled as your elocution, Green Arrow. [fires cannon]
Green Arrow: [dodges] How dare you criticize my delivery! Decidueye, Energy Ball!
Decidueye: [Energy Ball move] DE...CIDUEYE!
Cavalier: Escavalier, X-Scissor!
Escavalier: [X-Scissor move] ES...CAVALIER!
The X-Scissor destroyed the Energy Ball and it was heading for Decidueye when...
Tepig (Oinky 2): [Flame Charge move] TEP...PIG!
Escavalier: [pained] CAV!
Cavalier: What?! Who dares?!
Alex: Spy Girls to the rescue!
Clover: [to Green Arrow] Show that handsome traitor who's boss!
Green Arrow: With pleasure, fair lady! [takes out arrow] Meet my cannonball arrow! [fires it]
Soon, the both of them were firing cannonballs and cannonball arrows at one another, as one was heading straight for Zee!
Aura Guardian: Nope! [takes her into his arms] [dodges] I got ya, milady!
Zee: Thanks, my handsome knightypoo! [kisses his cheek] Mwah!
Aura Guardian: [blushes] [giggles]
Zee: Lower the curtain, Karen! My play is ruined!
[explosion in distance]
[crowd cheering]
Zee: Raise the curtain, Karen! My play is a triumph!
Aura Guardian: [sweat drops] Promise me you'll never change, Zee!
Pikachu: [sweat drops] PIKA PIKA.
Zee: I don't plan to!
[crowd cheering]
Green Arrow: [dueling with Cavalier] You deserve those bad reviews, you melodramatic hack!
[both grunting]
Cavalier: And you've got about as much stage presence as her!
Zee: [offended] Hey!
Aura Guardian: I have no idea what that means, but don't listen to him! You're one of the most talented girls I know!
Zee: Aww! Thanks, Aura!
Cavalier: Escavalier, use Iron Head!
Escavalier: [Iron Head move] ESCAVA...LIER!
Alex: Oinky 2, Flame Charge!
Tepig (Oinky 2): [Flame Charge move] TEP...PIG!
Escavalier: [dodges] CAV! [hits Decidueye with Iron Head] ESCAV!
Decidueye: [hit] DE!
Green Arrow: No, Decidueye!
Cavalier: Twineedle!
Escavalier: [Twineedle move] ESCAVALIER!
Decidueye: [hit] CIDUEYE! [falls down] [weakened] DECID...
Green Arrow: Don't give up, Decidueye! I believe in you!
Decidueye: CID?! [gets up] [determined] DECIDUEYE! [Leaf Blade move] DECIDUEYE!
Escavalier: [hit] LIER!
Aura Guardian: That was Leaf Blade!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Zee: Never thought I'd say this, but I'm impressed!
Green Arrow: You actually just learned Leaf Blade! [determined] Well done, my faithful friend! Use Spirit Shackle!
Decidueye: [Spirit Shackle move] DE...CIDUEYE!
The arrow made contact with Escavalier's shadow and it couldn't move!
Escavalier: [struggling to move] ES! CA!
Green Arrow: Now, back-to-back Leaf Blade!
Decidueye: [Leaf Blade move] DE! CID! CID! CIDUEYE!
Escavalier: [hit] ES! CA! VA! LIER! ES! CA! VA! LIER!
Escavalier then fell down defeated!
Escavalier: [dazed] [swirls in eyes] ESCAV...
Cavalier: Impossible!
Green Arrow: Well done, Decidueye!
Decidueye: [proud] EYE!
Cavalier: [growls] [clashing swords with Green Arrow]
Green Arrow: [clashes] [whimpers]
However, Cavalier managed to knock his sword out of his hand!
[crowd gasps]
Cavalier: Prepare for your final curtain call, Green Arrow...
Green Arrow: [growls] There's only one way to stop you... [launches magnet arrow at beam]
This caused Cavalier's sword to attract the magnet, pulling him up!
Green Arrow: [takes out arrows with faces] My Heckler Arrows! Always knew they'd come in handy some day. [fires them]
[arrows groaning and booing]
Aura Guardian: [to Zee] [sweat drops] Those have to be some of the weirdest arrows I've ever seen!
Pikachu: [agreeing] [sweat drops] PIKACHU!
Zee: I second the notion!
Cavalier: [as the arrows continue to boo as he waves them away] No! Make it stop! Please! [falls] [screams] No!
He ended up crashing into the prop rowboat!
Zee and Karen: [gasp]
Alex, Sam, and Clover: [gasp]
[crowd gasps]
Aura Guardian: [cringes] OH! That had to hurt!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!
Zee: [covers Sylveon's eyes] Avert your eyes, Sylveon!
Sylveon: SYLVE!
Cavalier: [sighs] [dramatically] Remember me, friends. As a villain, a rogue, a pirate captain in a facile, witless play...
Aura Guardian, Zee, and Clover: [yell] What?!
Cavalier: ...remember me most of all for that which burns in my soul... remember me... always as... an... actor. [fakes death]
Green Arrow: [rushes over to his side] Cavalier!
Decidueye: [rushes over with him] [concerned] DECIDUE!
Green Arrow: I didn't mean... I never... I'm so sorry.
Decidueye: [sad] [lowers its head] DECIDUEYE!
However...
Cavalier: [laughs] Thank you. Thank you.
Green Arrow: [gasps]
[crowd gasps]
Clover: [angry] That was the a total jerk move, you jerk!
Green Arrow: You're remarkable!
Aura Guardian: Huh?
Pikachu: PIKA?
[audience applauding]
Green Arrow: That was the most convincing death scene I've ever witnessed.
Sam: I'll say!
Cavalier: [gets up] I was lying before, your delivery is exquisite. You could even make this terrible play sound good.
Green Arrow: Oh. You're too kind. You and Escavalier's battle tactics are remarkable!
Decidueye: [to Escavalier] [holds wing out for handshake] CIDUEYE!
Escavalier: [returning the handshake] ESCAVA!
Green Arrow: Your immense talent shows right through her unimaginative direction.
Aura Guardian: [angry] Say what?!
Cavalier: [chuckles] And how about her acting? As dynamic as a wet cloth draped over a radiator. [laughs]
Sylveon: [angry] SYLVEON!
Zee: Okay. I'm right here, guys, you know, right here.
Aura Guardian: [growls]
Green Arrow and Cavalier: [both laugh]
Cavalier: A-ha!
Green Arrow: And her Sylveon thinks it has style, when it looks as though it could be so snooty and stuck-up!
Cavalier: But of course!
Zee: [angry] Why those dirty little...!
Sylveon: [angry] SYLVE!
Cavalier: And her boyfriend thinks he's her hero! He doesn't even look like a proper knight in those fairytales!
Green Arrow: Indeed! He's absolute doofus!
Aura Guardian: [angry] [face red] DOOFUS?!
Pikachu: [angry] [cheeks sparking] PIKACHU!
Zee: [furious] [rolls up her sleeves] I'll show them who's the doofus around here!
Gastly: [scares them] GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!
Green Arrow: And this ball of purple smoke thinks it's scary! It's not even close to that!
Cavalier: Indeed! It's not even a proper ghost!
Gastly: [shocked] GAS?! [angry] GASTLY!
But before Gastly could do anything...
[explosion]
Aura Guardian: What was that?!
Pikachu: PIKA?!
[And cue the Alola Motto]
Jessie: Ruin my chances, now that's just wrong!
James: Prepare for your downfall, you've sung your last swan song!
Jessie: The beauty so radiant the flowers and moon hide in shame. A single flower of evil in this fleeting world: Jessie!
James: The nobly heroic man of our times! The master of darkness fighting back against a tragic world! It's James!
Meowth: It's all for one and one for all! A glittering dark star that always shines bright! Dig it, while Meowth takes flight!
Jessie and James: Team Rocket, let's fight!
Meowth: That's right!
Wobbuffet: WOBBUFFET!
Mime Jr.: MIME MIME MIME!
Aura Guardian: Team Rocket!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Alex: I knew that Jesselina girl looked familiar! Jesselina is that old hag who wears more makeup than any of us, Jessie!
Clover: Ooh! Talk about a total burn!
Jessie: Well, I'll show you twerps what happens when you turn me down a chance to stardom!
Jessie and James: [raising their arms up in the air] Come on down!
Pelipper: [singing] PELIP PELIPPER!
Then, it dropped the Rocket Prize Master from its bill!
Zee: Ash, what is that?!
Aura Guardian: Bad news!
Meowth: Oy vey! Here we go! [stocks the coin on its head into the coin slot]
Jessie: Our Secret...
James: Rocket Prize...
Jessie and James: Master!
Meowth: That's the way the cookie crumbles!
Then, out came 2 PokéBalls.
Jessie and James: [tosses PokéBalls] Wonder what we got!
And out came a certain Electric Pokémon and a certain Marionette Pokémon!
Jessie: The Electric Pokémon, Elekid!
Elekid: PEVE!
James: And the Marionette Pokémon, Banette!
Banette: BANETTE!
Zee: [as she and Karen pull out their Rotom Phones] Who are those Pokémon?
Zee's Rotom Phone: Elekid, the Electric Pokémon. An Electric type. Elekid stores electricity in its body. If it touches metal and accidentally discharges all its built-up electricity, this Pokémon begins swinging its arms in circles to recharge itself.
Zee: That could be pretty useful! I wonder if it could charge up any electrical appliances that way?
Karen's Rotom Phone: Banette, the Marionette Pokémon. A Ghost type. Banette generates energy for laying strong curses by sticking pins into its own body. This Pokémon was originally a pitiful plush doll that was thrown away.
Karen: [gulps] Spooky!
Green Arrow: Fear not, fair ladies!
Cavalier: We'll handle this!
Jessie: You think you can stop us?! Elekid, bring on the Fire Punch!
James: Banette, you use Icy Wind!
Elekid: [Fire Punch move] PEVEVEVEVEVEVEVEVE! PEVE!
Banette: [Icy Wind move] BANETTE!
Decidueye: [hit by Icy Wind] CIDUEYE!
Escavalier: [hit by Fire Punch] CAVAL!
This knocked them both out!
Jessie: That was easier than we thought! Now, Elekid! Zap this theater to a crisp by bringing the Thunder!
Elekid: [preparing to use Thunder] PEVE...
Aura Guardian: No you don't! [to Zee] Let's show them how it's done, my beautiful actress!
Zee: With pleasure, my handsome man!
Aura Guardian: Pikachu, Electroweb!
Zee: Gastly, Psywave!
Pikachu: [Electroweb move] PIKA...PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA...CHU-PIKA!
Gastly: [Psywave move] GASTLY!
Elekid: [hit by Psywave] PEVE!
Banette: [hit by Electroweb] BANE!
Jessie: [growls] Elekid! Thunder Punch!
Elekid: [Thunder Punch move] PEVEVEVEVEVEVEVEVE! PEVE!
Zee: Hypnosis!
Gastly: [Hypnosis move] GASTLY...
That made Elekid fall asleep!
Jessie: Gah!
James: Use Scary Face on Sylveon!
Banette: [Scary Face move] NETTE!
Sylveon: [scared] SYLVE!
Aura Guardian: Pikachu, Thunderbolt!
Pikachu: [Thunderbolt move] PIKA...CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Banette: [pained] BANE!
Aura Guardian: Let's finish this! [locks arms with Zee] Ready, my beautiful magic girl?
Zee: Ready, my handsome aura man!
Aura Guardian: Pikachu, Thunderbolt!
Zee: Sylveon, Moonblast!
Pikachu: [Thunderbolt move] PIKA...CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Sylveon: [Moonblast move] SYL...VEON!
Team Rocket: [screams]
[explosion]
Jessie: One of these days, I'll make my dream of becoming a famous actress a reality, if it's the last thing I do!
James: But for now...
Meowth: Here's something that never gets old!
Team Rocket: WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!
Wobbuffet: WOBBUFFET!
Mime Jr.: MIME MIME!
[star finish]
Zee: Good riddance!
[crowd cheering]
Soon, everyone was giving a standing ovation!
Aura Guardian: Wow! Guess everyone thought Team Rocket was part of the show!
Clover: Too bad they won't be here for an encore!
Alex: Yep!
Zee: [hugs Ash's arm] You were great out there, Ashykins!
Aura Guardian: So were you, Zee! [bows to the audience]
And everyone else bowed too!
Zee then grabbed Ash by the shirt.
Aura Guardian: Huh?
Zee: C'mere, my hero man! [makes out with him]
Aura Guardian gladly kissed her back as they romantically made out.
Alex and Karen: Aww!
Green Arrow and Cavalier: [gags] Ick!
[Recap Time]
Karen: It's recap time!
Ash: Hey, girls! Who'd'ya meet today?
[as Pokémon cards were placed in a binder]
Zee: Decidueye, Escavalier, Florges, Tepig, Elekid and Banette!
[as the screen shows Florges of different colors]
Ash: Florges are a Fairy type found in the Kalos Region, and they come in 5 different colors!
Florges (5): FLORGES!
Zee: I wonder if their flower petals are good for accessories and fashion designs?
Ash: If anyone's the best at fashion, it's you, Zee!
Zee: Aww, Ashykins! [pushes him on the bed and they make out] [closes the curtain and puts out a sign that says "See you next time!"]
[End]
And that's it for this chapter! I hope you all enjoyed it! And there's more to come! So until then, see you all next time!
