Back on Unova, the Association of Shunned Helpers or "ASH" has gathered its members, who has grown from about 200, to celebrate the success of its Honest Trailers.

Cassidy gives a toast to them all. "Here's to the success of five Honest Trailers for Pokémon. That will show those twerps not to mess with the true rulers of this universe."

"It is great that our videos are getting recognized. And now, the senseless hero Ash Ketchum will discover this, and be mocked for his incredible revelations," Butch follows it up.

Cassidy continues her speech to her audience of followers in purple hoods, "Now, we shall unleash the wrath of a sixth video. This time, shaming the Unova region. And soon, we will have another viral video in our hands! Mwahahaha!" As soon as she laughs evilly, the rest does so.

But just as they arrive at the euphoria of the moment, the police barges in the hall, along with Cilan and Iris. The followers then panic around and find a way to escape the supposedly massive hideout.

"Halt there!" Officer Jenny commands them.

Cilan then notices the felons standing on the top. "Wait, is that who I think it is? Team Rocket?"

"It is. But they're not Jesse or James!" Iris exclaims.

Hearing that, Cassidy begins to chant, "Is that so? Now, let us introduce ourselves."

"Our names will stick to you, twerp-ish elves," Butch follows up.

But Officer Jenny interrupts him there. "No need. Those are the other ones, Cassidy and Mooch."

Hearing his name mispronounced, Butch bellows, "Hey there, officer! The name's Butch! It ain't anything else! You got that?"

"He does that," Officer Jenny informs the two Pokémon trainers. She then brings out her megaphone. "Team Rocket, you had made multiple misconducts that it would take a day to enumerate them. Right now, surrender! We have you surrounded."

"We might be surrounded…" Cassidy states.

Then Butch finishes her statement, "But with a press of Enter, and our work is done!"

"Oh, you're not going anywhere without a fight, Cassidy and Botch!" Cilan exclaims.

"I told you a while ago! My name is Butch! B! U! T! C! H! Butch!" Butch shrieks.

"Come on, why is this a big deal for you, Boots?" Iris asks.

"First of all, my name is not Boots, dragon princess! Second, it's a big deal respecting someone else's name! Would you call your green friend here Bob?"

"Is your name even Bob?"

Butch then groans at this zero profundity.

"Quit it, Butch and press Enter. Then, we can get out of here," Cassidy squeals.

"You're not going anywhere, Team Rocket!" Officer Jenny declares.

"Oh, we are," Cassidy threateningly says, "Just as long as we wait for this freaking video to upload!"

"Don't blame me. Blame the slow internet," Butch implies.

"Oh, quit it, Hutch! Just ready the escape procedure!" Cassidy commands, to which Butch groans.

"You're not getting away, Team Rocket!" Cilan then sends out Pansage, while Iris sends out Emolga. Cilan commands him to do Bullet Seed and Iris commands her to do Volt Switch, respectively. But even with a direct hit to the felons, a smoke away, they disappear.

"They're gone!" Cilan utters.

"Gosh, how could they really escape that fast?" Iris asks to herself.

"Whatever the reason, we cannot let them get away with their video scheme," Officer Jenny states.

Just at that moment, Iris' phone beeps, which she checks out.

"Wait, is that a YouTube bell I heard?" Cilan asks her.

"Hey, I need to subscribe to stand by for whatever mockery Team Rocket is putting out," Iris defends. But as she checks out her phone, the worst thing she thought of happened. "Great. The Unova Honest Trailer came up."

"What?!" Cilan shrieks.

Iris then shows her phone to Cilan and Officer Jenny to watch the Honest Trailer they feared about.


Of course, the parody video starts with flashing screenshots of video requests and the usual Honest Trailer title card.

As the video shows a montage of Pokémon clips from the very first season, the epic voice narrator starts his spiel, "You've been there from the start, from the time he met Pikachu, the gym battles, the Pokémon leagues, the friendships, the rivalries and the moments that made the Pokémon anime great and nostalgic, for a while. Now, prepare for a whole new chapter of the Pokémon anime world…that makes you want to forget those things happen and start from scratch." Knowing that, he groans, then sidetracks, "This is gonna hurt. Pokémon: Black and White."

The narrator goes on with the body of the parody trailer, "After four regions that you invested time around to wander in your DS, or browse in the Bulbapedia fanpage, enter a brand new faraway region in the vein of Unova, a New York City-inspired region…" Cue montage of New York-inspired elements in the show, "…complete with its own version of the Brooklyn Bridge, the skyscrapers, the New Yorkers, the diversity and the food?" After seeing that the cuisine is still Japanese, the epic voice guy brings his defense, "I guess these came from the high-end sushi bars of Manhattan?"

"Gear up for another adventure with the quintessential man and Pokémon pair, Ash, who doesn't manage to age a day, and Pikachu, who somehow managed to lose weight after fourteen seasons. They will need help from a new slew of companions like Iris, the 'Trainer of Dragons' with the hair of what looks like a Pokémon…" Cue the clip of Ash unintentionally throwing a Pokeball to Iris. "…Cilan, the Pokémon connoisseur, the fishing-enthusiast, cinema buff, subway-travelling detective…of expositions…" Cue the Cilan moments, including 'evaluating time'. "…and the same-old starter Pokémon who started as jerks, then evolved to honky-dory, plushy creatures who are then used to fight off their own kind like total jerks." Cue the Unova starters.

"Witness one of the edgier sagas of the anime where Ash has to face off unforgettable competitors like:"

"…Gym leaders Elesa, who has her own chanting crowd on every gym battle…"

"…Cilan's triplet brothers, the flaming Chili and the chilling Cress…"

"…Skyla, the hot chick who you wish to be your plane's pilot…"

"…Lenora, the Oprah-ish paleontologist…"

"…this vegan hippie…" Referring to Burgh.

"…this cowboy…" Referring to Clay.

"…this shirtless Bruce Lee knock-off…"

"…and this British dude with beard on his mouth." He then asks about his ridiculous beard, "Can he even breathe on that?"

Even as it goes to the ridiculous route, the narrator continues on with the script, "But the gym leaders are just as high-stakes as the rivals, who range from clearly tolerable to mildly annoying, like:"

"…Trip, the Gary-ish type rival who grows disgust at him for being a foreigner, then respects him eventually…"

"…Bianca, the bubbly blonde who's clumsy at everything…"

"…Burgundy, the trainer who cannot still rub off the time that Cilan defeated and eventually gets defeated all the time…"

"…Stephan, whose one quirk is that people can't seem to pronounce his name…"

"…Cameron, the trainer who gets his facts wrong…"

"…Virgil, the Eevee breeder and e-eventual champion…" The narrator then snickers, "Get it?"

"…and N, the reformed Team Plasma member who is relegated to the good side because of his love…for Pokémon." As the video plays a clip featuring N taking care of other Pokémon, the voiceover dude has to clarify, "Don't get me wrong here. It's not what you're thinking."

Nevertheless, he continues on, "Thrill as the anime goes to the obligatory motions of the journey of a boy losing to his own championship. But not to be outdone because the true thrill comes from battling the evil organization Team Plasma, a group dedicated to separating Pokémon from the human world by bringing them to freedom out of their Pokéballs." After learning of their motives, the narrator points out, "Wait, why are they the bad guys? Shouldn't it be good that there is a group of those opposed to Poké-slavery, and would do whatever it takes to achieve that goal, even if it means annihilating other people, threatening 10-year-old trainers and unleashing a powerful monster to destroy the whole world?" But after realizing the lengths that the well-intentioned motive, he suddenly reconsiders, "Wait, who are the good guys again?"

"So, experience another chapter of the Pokémon saga that takes one step forward to advancing Ash's hero's journey, takes eight steps back by absolutely offering nothing new to the table, except for the Pokémon action and the Pokémon themselves, and takes a new leap on the series by having Ash…" After giving such an uplifting tone, he then moves to an upsetting conclusion, "…learn all the same stuff he learned in the previous season." Because of that, the epic voice guy vigorously rants, "Seriously, that's how you develop your main character? It's not like you haven't done it on your games, your mangas, your trading cards and your movies on doing the same formula, but you still have regress your protagonist hero?! Sheesh, what a waste of investing thirteen seasons! You know what, that's it! Ash is the worst! If he doesn't improve in the next season, I'm so out of here."

Cue Bart Simpson's comment from "Postcards from the Wedge", where he said, "How did this show stay so fresh?" to which the epic voice guy says, "I wish, kid. I wish."

After going through the best part of this parody trailer, the voiceover narrator dictates the honest name: "Pokémon Monochrome".

But before the video ends, the epic voice guy remarks about Alexa hinting about the Kalos region, "You know your anime series have gone so dour when they added an Easter egg for the next season on the very end. Speaking of which, there's a lot to talk about for the next Honest Trailer."


Much like the previous Honest Trailers, the Unova one becomes viral to the Pokemon world that it reached to Ash's eyes. He is again in unsustainable belief from what he saw.

"Ash, you okay?" Sophocles asks him who sees the master trainer's eyes stunned and jaws dropped.

On to the next Honest Trailer!
