Who Want's To Be A Millionaire?
Special Pokémon Week

Disclaimer: I love Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, but sadly I don't own it. If I did, the show host would know the answer before it came on the screen. He would also be straight out if they were right or wrong, not wait fifteen seconds.

A/N: My friend Arrow and I thought this up in a class when we weren't supposed to be talking (we won't tell if you don't tell.) I thought up the characters and she supplied little details, details that could make this a better fic. Arrow, this is to you.

In case you're wondering, I'm Regis. In the fastest finger seats are (from left to right): Gary, Gizelle, Richie, Duplica, Todd, Misty, Ash, Tracy, Brock, and Nurse Joy (from Viridian City if you're as lifeless as Brock.) I don't know what a lot of these people's names, so I made some up. If you know the actual ones, tell me and I'll change it ASAP. Also, I don't like ATT so I'm using Qwest for some reason.

LISTER: (Stands between Todd and Misty where Regis normally stands during Fastest Finger questions.) Hello, and welcome to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. This week, we have a... (looks at contestants. Misty just hit Ash upside the head with her mallet and Brock was drooling over Joy) Well, a semi-special group of contestants. They are the characters from the "hit" TV show Pokémon. We have... Gary Oak, Gizelle Stukup, Richie Chance, Duplica Copee, Todd Snapp, Misty Waterflower, Ask Ketchum, Tracy Sketchit, Brock Slate, and Nurse Joy IV. All right, let's get down to business with our first Fastest Finger Question. "Put these Pokémon in the order they apear in the Pokedex, starting with the first. Pikachu, Snorlax, Eevee, Slowbro." (Waits thirty seconds.) All right. Let's see the answers in the correct order. Pikachu, Slowbro, Eevee, Snorlax. Now, let's see who got it right. Only one and it's Nurse Joy!

(Audience applaudes as she gets up from her seat and shakes Lister's hand. Brock gives her a standing ovation.)

BROCK: Go all the way to the top! Whooooooooo!

(Lister and Joy walk to their appropriate seats in the middle of the circle.)

LISTER: Welcome and congratulations.

JOY: (Blushes) Thank you.

LISTER: I understand you're a nurse at the Viridian City Pokémon Center. (Joy nods) What's it like?

JOY: It can be challenging, but we nurses need all the help we can get and enjoy interns. I've talked to Misty over there and she wants to help me. I encourage young people to strive to become Pokémon doctors and nurses.

LISTER: Okay. Let's get on with the game. You know about the Life-Lines, Ask-the-Audience, Phone-A-Friend, and 50-50. There are fifteen questions and every five you get a milestone question which means you can't leave with less than that amount. All right. Let's play Who Wants To Be A Millionaire! For one hundred dollars, "This object slightly raises a Pokémon's health and can be bought in cities like Viridian and Pewter. A. Canteloupe, B. Potion, C. Pokeflute, D. Full Heal."

JOY: That would be B, Potion.

LISTER: Final answer? (Joy nods) That's it. For two hundred, "Which person is NOT a member of Team Rocket? A. James, B. Joe, C. Jessie, D. Butch."

JOY: I've been tortured by these people long enought to know who it is and isn't. It's B, Joe. Final answer.

LISTER: You got it. For three hundred dollars, "What city does the gymleader Lt. Surge preside in? A. Shocksville, B. Pewter City, C. Electric Town, D. Vermilion City."

JOY: That's D, Virmilion City. Final answer.

LISTER: Yes! Going on for five hundred, "The Pokémon Jynx can only be what? A. Wild, B. Female, C. Hunted, D. Male."

JOY: Mr. Mime is the one that can olny be male, all Pokémon can be caught, but no Pokémon can be hunted legally. So, I'll say B. Female.

LISTER: Final?

JOY: Final answer.

LISTER: She's on a roll! For one thousand dollars and the assurance you won't go away empty handed, "If a Pokémon is killed during a battle or by accident, the trainer of that Pokémon will be what? A. Killed, B. Thrown in prison, C. Nothing happens, D. Their Pokémon liscence is taken away."

JOY: This almost happened to one of my friends. It's D, Lisence taken away. I know it and it's my final answer.

LISTER: You're going home with at least one grand! We'll keep on going after a small commercial break.

(Small commercial break. Advise, take time to watch some TV and rest your eyes.)

LISTER: We're back! Nurse Joy is here in the Hot-Seat. Behind her is...Nurse Joy.

BROCK: (stands up) Uh, Lister? Might I interupt? (Pulls out a microphone from mid-air and runs over to the Nurse Joy in the audience [NJ].) Ladies and gentlemen, we are truly honored to be here. The Nurse Joy from Celedon City has acompanied the Viridian City Nurse Joy. (Sniffs) Nurse Joy, I must compliment you on that fragrence. Wait, don't tell me, Gloomy Lust. Ah, have I ever told you how much I love that scent?

NJ: I..don't...even...know...you. (She points Brock out for the security guards.)

BROCK: (being seized by security guards) NO! I must stay here with her! (Struggles to point at NJ.)

(Brock is now gone from the stage and disqualified. Sorry, Brock fans.)

LISTER: Well, can't think that ever happened before. Anyway, Celedon City Nurse Joy, does that happen often?

NJ: Actually, yes. Many boys come in on their Pokémon journies and ramble on how I am the prettiest of all of my cousins, second-cousins, sisters, and something.

LISTER: Well, that's very interesting. Thank you for sharing that. Well, Viridian City Nurse Joy, you're going for two grand. Tell, us, what will you do with the money?

JOY: Well, I was thinking of using it to update the Pokémon center to give information on new Pokémon they bring from Johto.

LISTER: Okay, well here it is. The to thousand dollar question.When can a trainer get his or her Pokémon liscense? A. 14 years old, B. 11 years old, C. 10 years old, D. Whenever they feel like it.

JOY: Well, it's either B or C. (thinks a bit) I'm pretty sure it's...C, 10.

LISTER: Is that your final answer?

JOY: It's a tight age range, but yes, final answer.

LISTER: You're going for four grand! No stopping you! For four...thousand...dollars. When a grass type Pokémon attacks with a grass attack, it is is not strong against what type? A. Steel, B. Grass, C. Electric, D. Dark. (Ash starts jumping up and down in his seat with his hand waving in the air)

JOY: Steel? Dark? Well, I know it isn't Electric and it DEFINETLY is not Grass. Steel and Dark. (Pauses) I'd hate to use one of my Life-Lines, but I'll use my Phone-A-Friend. Although Ash is jumping up and down in his seat with his hand in the air, I'll use my Phone-A-Friend.

LISTER: You sure? (Joy nods) Okay then. Who ya' gonna a call?

JOY: Ghostbusters. (Audience laughs. I know, terrible.) Actually, I'll call my old friend Arrow.

LISTER: Okay, and what does Arrow do?

JOY: She's a professional lunatic.(Another laugh from the audience) She's obbsessed with Gary.(Gary blushes and sinks in his seat) She's a pretty smart person when it comes to Pokémon and I hope she knows the answer.

LISTER: Allright, Qwest, get Arrow on the line, please.

(A phone rings in the audience. Audience member answers it.)

AUDIENCE PERSON: I knew you would call me eventually, Joy. HI Gary!

(Gary hits his head on the console in front of him, nearly breaking it)

LISTER: Arrow, I see you're here to cheer on your friend.

ARROW: No shit, Sherlock. All right, Joy. I know the answer. Sorry, Lister. Save Joy time, you know? All right. It's A, Steel. I know 'cause I raised some. Oh, Gary, GOOD LUCK!

GARY: (to Gizelle) You wouldn't happen to have a knife or poison would you? Rum, brandy, anything?

GIZELLE: No.

GARY: Damn.

JOY: (To Arrow) How sure are you?

ARROW: One hundred percent sure. Trust me. (She gives off an evil grin as she hangs up.)

JOY: Okay, thanks. I'll go with her and say A, Steel. Final answer.

LISTER: Thank you, Arrow! She's right!

ARROW: (yelling from audience)You're welcome!!

LISTER: Okay. Going for eight thousand dollars. Which electric Pokémon is a single round ball with little extensions? A. Voltorb, B. Electrode, C. Magneton, D. Magnemite.

JOY: Hm. Little extensions. Not A or B. Single ball...the answer in D, Magnemite.

LISTER: Final?

JOY: Final...I think.

LISTER: How do you do this so calmly? You're right!

JOY: I am?!

LISTER: Yes! Now, for sixteen thousand dollars.

ARROW: (Still in audience) You better give me some of your prize money for helping you out on that easy question back there!

ASH: (Quietly to Tracy) At least she didn't remind Misty I owe her a bike, still.

ARROW: And Ash! You still owe Misty a bike!

MISTY: Oh yeah. I forgot. Thanks Arrow!

ARROW: No problem!

LISTER: Now, as I was saying. The question. Which of these names is not a friend of Ash? A. Jessie, B. Mikey, C. Misty, D. Gary.

ASH: (To Tracy) Right now it's C. (Misty responds by hitting him over the head with a mallet.)

JOY: You mean that boy with the flat head? Well. That girl doesn't look like a friend so I'll say...A, Jessie. Final answer.

MISTY: My name is Misty!

LISTER: Doesn't matter. She's right!

MISTY: You'll be splitting that money between you, Arrow, and me now.

ASH: Then you can bye your own bike. (Misty hits Ash on the head again)

LISTER: For the mile-stone of thirty-two thousand bucks, or about ten thousand, or six hundred sixty-six dollars for the three of you girls. What Pokémon has a valuable jewel? A. Starmie, B. Onyx, C. Meowth, D. Geodude.

JOY: Well. Meowths have a valuable charm, and geodes usually have neat stuff inside. I'm at a loss. (Thinks) My Phone-A-Friend's gone.

ARROW: No I'm not!

JOY: I think I'll ask the audience.

LISTER: Okay everyone. If you're ready, help Joy out. Which is it? (Thirty second wait) (Results: 67% A, 14% B, 15% C, 4% D) Wow. Sixty-seven percent say Starmie. The rest are pretty low.

JOY: Well, with that big of a margin, I'll have to go with that sixty-seven percent and say A, Starmie. Their final answer.

LISTER: They're right! We'll be back and WE'LL...GO...ALL...THE...WAY!

(Small commercial break. Watch some TV for a while.)

LISTER: We're back, and with a few changes. (Arrow is sitting on Gary's lap. Ash's head is much flatter. Misty has her mallet beside her. Tracy is making "Brock-Meets-Pretty-Girl" face...at Richie![Yeah! Tracy bashing! Sorry Tracy fans...PSYCHE!]) Joy, you nervous?

JOY: No. I'm just five away from winning a million bucks and I'm not nervouse one bit. (starts yelling) ARE YOU BLIND?! I'M A NERVOUS WRECK!

LISTER: Ask a stupid question... Well, let's get on, shall we? For sixty-four thousand, What area can Jigglypuff and Clefairy reside? A. Mt. Moon, B. Indiglo Plateu, C. Cerulean City, D. Vermilion City.

JOY: Hm. Haven't seen many of those in Viridian. Few trainers come in with one or both of them. Where were they from? Hm. I wont' use my last Life-Line. Either way, I loose nothing. I'm going to risk it and say A, Mount Moon. I hope that's it.

LISTER: Hope all you want. Either way YOU'RE RIGHT!!

JOY: Whew.

LISTER: Okay. For a quarter million dollars. What is the tallest of these Pokémon? A. Arbok, B. Onyx, C. Kangaskhan, D. Mewtwo.

JOY: Oh, I was hoping one of these questions wouldn't come up. Well, I won't risk it or use the Life-Line, so I'll just walk.

LISTER: Final decision?

JOY: Yeah.

LISTER: What would you have guessed?

JOY: I would have said B, Onyx.

LISTER: You would have been wrong. Kangaskhan is the tallest of those. Arbok and Onyx are LONGER, not taller. (Hands Joy a check for 64,000 dollars) Well, here you are. You did great.

JOY: Thank you. Thank you, Arrow! Sorry Jessie...I mean Misty!

ARROW: You're welcome! Remember, you owe me twenty-one thousand, three hundred thirty-three dollars for that answer!

MISTY: Money will be the best apology! About twenty-one thousand, three hundred thirty-three dollars should suffice!

(Joy leaves stage and Lister goes to middle of Fastest-Finger seats)

LISTER: How sad. I thought we were going to go all the way there. Oh well. Time for the next Fastest-Finger question. Put these characters in the order they were premiered on the show, starting with the earliest. Ash, Tracy, Proffesor Oak, Misty. (Waits thirty seconds.) All right. Let's see the answers in the correct order. Ash, Proffesor Oak, Misty, and finally Tracy. Let's see who got it right and in the fastest time. The winner is...

Find out next chapter!!!!!!!!!!! Cliff-hanger! Who is it? Who is faster? Hm, I wonder...will Arrow interfere again? Who knows? I DO! I'll get right on the secod chapter ASAP. Later!
