Pre-chapter Conversation
"Welcome to the final week of Rocketmon, folks!" I shouted happily to the camera.
"It's about time, if ya ask me." Izzy said, crossing his arms.
"Meeeee owth, owth." Sadie agreed, nodding. I rolled my eyes at them.
"In any case, once we get through this week, I can finally leave this story behind me and post my next ones!" I punched the air. I then got into a thinking pose. "Hmmmm…"
"What's up?" Izzy asked.
"Well… I was just thinking about how I could've gotten reported twice in a row like that."
"You're not gonna start bitching again, are you?" Izzy said, giving me an exasperated look. I glared at him.
"NO! I'm wondering how anyone can be so unlucky!"
"What's there to wonder about?" Izzy asked with a shrug. "One or two really uptight people read this fic and the other one that got deleted and reported you. Simple as that."
"I'll thank you to not mention that ever again." I said with another glare. I held a hand to my chin. "There has to be some connection… Something had to have taken place before each deletion to trigger them… But what?"
"Well deal with it later! We gotta get to business!"
"Oh! Right!" I said before facing the camera. "This chapter is the first single update in a long time. This one will answer that all-important question: 'What happens when you take the second to last line in Team Rocket's motto seriously?' Well, you're gonna get your answer as Team Rocket faces off against our hero, a noble gym leader, and the most unlikely ally in the world."

Rocketmon Ch. 17: Team Rocket VS. Team Squid
Otto and Reggie were standing on the rim of their balloon's basket with their backs turned towards Sam.
"Prepare for trouble!" Reggie started.
"Make it double!" Otto continued. They turned around and looked at Sam with their arms crossed.
"To protect the world from shoobies!"
"To unite all surfers within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of major beefs!"
"To get huge air in the stars above!" They then jumped off the basket. Before they landed, they each did a flip and landed on their right foot.
"Reggie!"
"Otto!"
"Team Rocket grinds rails at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to face us in Hockey!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Twister screamed as he fell out of the balloon.
::CRASH!!!::
"Twister! That's right!" He yelled as he did a pose while standing on his two teammates.
"GET OFF!!!" Reggie and Otto yelled as they started beating up the poor costumed kid. Sam and Pikachu sweatdropped as a cartoon cloud appeared. Sounds of fighting were heard for at least five minutes before the blond kid whistled. The cloud dissipated and the trio was looking at Sam.
"Let's go already!" He yelled. Team Rocket blinked.
"What are you talking about, Squid?" Otto asked.
"It's simple. You know that last line, 'Surrender now or prepare to face us in Hockey?'"
"Yeah." Reggie said as she and her teammates nodded.
"Well, up til now, I've never surrendered, right?"
"Yeah…" Twister said, nodding. "Do you mean—"
"Yeah. I challenge you to a game of Street Hockey!" Sam pointed at them. "If I win, you three have to quit Team Rocket!"
"And if we win?" Otto asked. Sam looked at Pikachu and closed his eyes.
"If you win," He started. "I'll give you Pikachu."
"Pika!?" Pikachu said with wide eyes. Team Rocket grinned.
"Alright. We'll play you in Street Hockey then." Otto said.
"How are you gonna beat us?!" Twister yelled, laughing at Sam. "You're outnumbered three to one!"
"Yeah! Pikachu's as good as ours!" Reggie laughed.
"I don't think so!" Everybody turned towards the one who yelled. Sam looked surprised.
"LARS!?" Otto yelled. The kid in the gray hat walked forward and stood by Sam.
"If you play him, you gotta play me too! Besides, we still have to settle our little score." He declared. "Now tell me what you did to Twister! I know he's around here. You three probably kidnapped him!" Sam popped a vein.
"He's right there!" He pointed at the kid in the meowth suit. Twister blanched.
"What are you talking about, Squid!? That's a meowth!" Lars yelled. Sam and Pikachu fell over. The blond one stood up and opened his mouth, getting ready to deliver a round of profanities. He quickly shut his mouth and put on a strangely calm look.
"Excuse me for a second." He turned and walked towards Twister. "Can I borrow this for a minute?" Reggie and Otto looked at each other and shrugged. Sam then got Twister in a head lock.
"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!" Twister yelled as Sam dragged him towards Lars.
"The truth shall set you free!" He yelled as he gripped the hood of Twister's costume.
"Ahhhh!!! No! Wait!" Too late. Sam pulled back the hood. The striped hat fell to the ground. Twister grinned nervously at Lars, who turned to Sam with his arms crossed.
"So? Who's he supposed to be?"
Sam put on an exasperated look as he picked up Twister's hat. He put it on the kid's head, causing Lars to gasp.
"TWISTER! IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG!?!?!"
"DUH! YOU LAME-O!!!" Sam screamed. Twister laughed nervously.
"Heh, heh, heh… Surprise?" He said to Lars.
"And those two…" The big kid pointed to Otto and Reggie. "They're Rocket Dork and his sister! Oh my God!"
"Again, DUH! I TOLD YOU ALL THAT!!!!!" Sam roared. Lars gave the trio an evil look.
"Ohh…you're so gonna get it when we get back, Twister." He chuckled evilly. Twister's eyes widened. "Mom and Dad have been worried sick." He laughed again. "And I'm so gonna enjoy beating you three."
"Yeah right! You've never beaten us before, so what's gonna make this time any different!?" Otto yelled as Twister crawled back to his partners.
"And you're still outnumbered by one! Now what?!" Reggie yelled.
"Team Rocket!" A new voice entered the fray.
"-.-'' What now?" Otto grumbled as everybody looked at the top of the stands. Sam grinned at the sight of the boy standing in the sunlight.
"Keoni!" He waved as the gym leader started walking down the stands.
"In the name of the great Groudon, I will defeat you and bring you to justice!" Keoni jumped at the bottom and walked up to Sam. Team Rocket groaned.
"So much for strength in numbers." Reggie said.
"I wonder if anybody else is gonna bother us!" Otto yelled. Just then, footsteps were heard. With a groan from the evil trio, everyone looked at who showed up.
"What do you want?!" Lars shouted at the caped boy, who was making his way down the stands. As always, his faithful meowth was perched on his shoulder.
"I merely wish to observe." Izzy replied, sitting down in the front row. "And to make sure that no one backs out of the wager." With that, he snapped his fingers. Pikachu ran over to his seat and sat down right beside him. Sadie sat on the boy's left.
"Well anyway, now it's a fair three-on-three match." Otto said, growling at that last part. "Let's start."
"Hold it! We don't have any gear or a ref to keep score!" Twister yelled.
"Not a problem." Keoni said.
---------------------------------
Everything was all set. Goal nets were placed at the trainers' ends of the field. The big screen was set up to display the score. On the left end of the screen was Team Rocket's symbol. On the other end was a squid to denote Sam's team. The ref was standing in the middle of the field. The players were wearing their protective gear and roller blades. They each had a hockey stick in their hands. Twister was serving as the goalie for his team and Sam, of course, was goalie for his own team. His team was wearing shirts with a palm tree pictured on them while Team Rocket was wearing their usual uniforms.
"This will be a three-on-three pokémon—I mean—hockey match!" The ref started. "Team Rocket VS. Team Squid!"
"Hold it! 'Team Squid!?' What about Team Lars!?" Lars yelled.
(Me: Sam's the hero of the fic! Deal with it!)
Lars sulked as he skated to the middle of the field. Otto also skated to the center. Both players glared at each other as the ref got ready to drop the puck.
"Let the game begin!" He yelled as he dropped it. Otto and Lars tapped the ground and each other's stick three times. When their sticks collided the third time, they started fighting for the puck…and Otto gets it! He skated towards Sam as the timer started ticking down from fifteen minutes.
Lars skated alongside Otto and made to steal the puck, but the Rocket passed it to Reggie. She made her way to the goal and got ready to shoot it when Keoni made the steal! He made his way towards Twister, weaving out of Otto and Reggie's paths the whole time. He passed the puck to Lars, who made the shot. The puck goes flying, but the meowth look-alike blocks!
Twister tossed the puck to Otto, who started making his way across the field. Lars was coming up on him fast. Otto made to pass to Reggie, who was on his right. When Lars went for the steal though, Otto continued on, totally messing him up. Otto got past Keoni and shot the puck. Sam blocked it and he gave the puck to Lars. The kid in the gray hat bolted across the field, moving way too fast for Otto and Reggie to catch up. Before his opponents can get to him, Lars slammed his stick into the puck, making it fly past Twister, scoring the first goal of the game!
::BRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNNG!!!!!::
"The goal goes to Team Squid!" The ref yelled, holding up the green flag.
On the titantron, the zero underneath the squid changed to a one. The ref walked to the middle of the field with the puck again. This time, Reggie and Keoni went to the center. He dropped the puck and the two kids went at it, hitting each other's sticks and the ground three times before going for the puck.
Keoni made the hit and skated off towards Team Rocket's goal. Unhindered by Reggie and Otto, he made the shot. Twister was able to catch that one as he tossed the puck to Reggie, who barreled down the field. Lars went for the steal, but like with Otto, she faked him out. Speaking of Otto, the auburn haired kid got past Keoni as Reggie passed it to him. Otto made to shoot, but he passed it to Reggie again, confusing Sam. Before he can recover, she shot the puck right past him!
::BRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNNG!!!!!::
"Team Rocket scores!" The ref yelled, holding up the red flag. Both teams were tied at one.
The ref took the puck to the middle again. This time, Keoni and Otto were up to do the face off. After the clash of the sticks, Keoni got the puck, generating a few curses from Otto. Both boys skated down towards Twister's goal, neither one giving up the battle. Keoni was able to make the shot, but Twister grabbed the puck. The costumed player tossed it to Reggie, but Lars intercepted! He went around the net and shot the puck, but Twister barely managed to block it. He shot the puck forward.
Otto got the puck and started skating down the field. Everybody else caught up to him. Reggie protected Otto by getting in Lars and Keoni's way. With nothing except Sam standing in his way, Otto went around the net and shot the puck, scoring his team's second goal.
"Team Rocket scores again!" The ref said.
::BUUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!::
"That's the end of the first period! Team Rocket leads Team Squid two to one! We'll take a five minute break." Everybody sat at benches that were situated behind each team's goal.
"Oh man! They're a lot harder than I thought." Keoni said, wiping sweat off his head.
"What's the deal, man!? Those little twerps should be cake to beat!" Lars yelled at him.
"A pokémon battle is one thing, but a hockey match is quite another!" Keoni retorted.
"Quiet!" Sam yelled. "We gotta work together! Otherwise we'll get whomped!" Lars and Keoni glared at each other before shaking hands.
"We'll work together." Lars said. "For revenge."
"For the great Groudon, we'll beat them." Keoni agreed with a nod.
With Team Rocket…
"Heh. This is too easy." Otto started. "All we gotta do is keep this up for two more periods and we win Sam's pikachu."
"Yeah." Twister started. "But what about Keoni? He's real good, remember? And they got the Squid on their side. It'll be hard to score against him."
"We're doing pretty good so far, but you're right, Twist." Reggie said. "We just gotta take advantage of their weakest player." The trio looked at Lars and snickered.
"Time to begin the second period!" The ref yelled. Everybody skated to their positions. Like in the last period, Otto and Lars went to the center for the face off.
'There's no way I'm gonna lose against this dork!' Lars thought while waiting for the drop.
'I can't wait to see the look on Raymundo's face when we get back with Pikachu.' Otto thought with a grin.
"Begin!" The ref yelled, dropping the puck. Otto and Lars fought for the orange disk. Surprising, Lars was the one to get it! He bolted past Otto and skated towards the goal. When he got halfway there, Reggie came to make the steal.
"Lars! Over here!" Lars heard Keoni call out. The taller kid looked and saw his teammate skating to his left.
Thinking fast, he passed it to Keoni, barely avoiding Reggie's stick. The gym leader got the puck and continued from where Lars left off. He weaved out of Otto's way and made the shot. The puck went at a high speed right between Twister's legs.
::BRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNNG!!!!!::
"Goal for Team Squid!" The ref declared.
"Twist! Get in the game!" Otto scolded.
"I am! Why don't you play a little better!?" Twister yelled back.
"WHAT!?"
"Chill!" Reggie yelled. Both boys glared at each other as they got back into position. Reggie and Keoni met at the center. The ref dropped the puck and the game was off again.
Reggie got the puck and she quickly passed it to Otto, who now moved towards Sam. Before the young Rocket can shoot, Keoni made the steal! He only got a few feet forward when Reggie stole it. About a minute later, the puck changed hands again as Lars made the steal and skated madly towards the goal.
"Hey twerp! Your shoes are untied!" He yelled when he got close enough.
"They are?" Twister asked as he bent over. Lars quickly took advantage and shot the puck into the net. Twister looked up.
"Hey! I'm not wearing shoes!" He yelled. Lars shrugged.
"Oops. My mistake. Pahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!"
"Team Squid scores!" The ref yelled, holding up the green flag. Otto and Reggie slapped their heads. Reggie went to the center again. This time, her opponent for the face off was Lars.
After formalities were dealt with, Lars got the puck for his team, but Reggie quickly stole it. She skated down the field and shot the puck towards Sam. The blond goalie blocked it and sent the puck to Keoni, but Otto got to it first. He quickly shot the puck and made the goal!
::BUUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!::
"That's the end of the second period!" The ref started. "Both teams are tied at three! We'll take a five minute break." Everybody went to their resting areas.
"Wow! This has been an interesting game, huh?" Izzy said in the stands.
"Pika!" Pikachu replied as it went back to sipping its soda.
"Meow!" Sadie said, going back to her hot dog.
"o.O;;;; Where'd you guys get the snacks from?" The two pokémon pointed backwards at a snack vendor, who was serving some people.
"We're ready to begin the last period!" The ref yelled, moving back to center field. Keoni and Otto skated to the center, getting ready to finish off this match.
'I can't believe we're tied!' Otto thought. 'There's no way I'm losing this shot at Pikachu!'
'Once we win this, I'm calling the cops, regardless of what Sam said.' Keoni thought.
'I hope we win.' Sam thought. 'I want my friends to go back to normal.'
'Let's get this started already!' Lars thought.
'Come on, Otto. We gotta get that pikachu!' Reggie thought.
'So bored…' Twister thought with half-closed eyes. 'I want chicken! I want liver! Meow Mix, Meow Mix, please deliver!'
"Begin!" The ref yelled as he dropped the puck. The two players fought for a few seconds before Otto broke away with the puck. The crowd roared, causing everyone on the field to look up and around. The entire stadium was packed!
"Woah. When did all these people come in?" Otto asked as he stopped.
"I didn't even notice them." Sam said. Lars grinned evilly.
"Well Rocket Dorks, it looks like I get to embarrass you in front of all these people!"
"Dream on, Lars! Ottoman's got the puck, remember!?" Twister yelled across the field.
"Yoink!" Keoni yelled as he stole the puck. Lars gave Twister a grin.
"You were saying?"
"Ugh!" Twister slapped his head.
"Defense!" Reggie yelled. Twister quickly shook his head and got back into position. Keoni got to the goal and fired the puck. It flew into the air. Twister swat at it with his right hand, but it was no use.
"Score for Team Squid!" The ref yelled. The crowd cheered as Twister tossed the puck to the ref. The ref caught it and moved to center field. Reggie and Lars took their positions and waited for the drop.
The ref dropped the puck and the two fought for it. Reggie got it and started skating towards Sam, who was ready to block. She managed to shoot the puck before Sam's teammates caught up to her. Sam held up his stick and blocked the puck. He quickly slapped it to Keoni, who got it and started going towards the other end. As soon as he passed half court, he was swamped by Otto and Reggie.
"Keoni!" The gym leader heard Lars call his name. He was on Keoni's right. Finding an opening, he passed the puck to Lars who went forward. Twister glared at his older brother. There was no way he was gonna get tricked again!
"Hey dork!"
"Save it Lars! Nothing you say will move me from this spot!" Twister challenged. Lars gave a mischievous grin.
'We'll see about that.' He thought. "I just wanted to tell you to look out for the falling primeapes." Twister's eyes widened.
"GIANT MONKEYS!!! AHHHH!!!!!!" He immediately skated away from the net.
"Psyche!" Lars yelled before slapping the puck into the net. He then closed his eyes and held his hands in prayer.
'May that joke never get old.' He thought while hearing the goal bell ring.
"Twister, get back in that net!" Otto roared.
"No way man! The giant monkeys!" Twister replied as he skated out of the field.
"There are no giant monkeys!" Reggie screamed. She turned to Otto. "I swear. You'd think he would've gotten it by now." Otto shrugged.
---------------------------------
After a timeout, Twister was coaxed back to his position at the net ("I sure love Freezie Freezies!" Twister yelled with a grin. Reggie and Otto rolled their eyes). There were two minutes left in the game. It seemed like the trio had to gain a miracle in order to get Sam's pikachu. Otherwise, they'll have to quit Team Rocket. Otto and Lars got into position and prepared for the ref to drop the puck.
"Resume play!" He yelled as he dropped it. Otto & Lars slapped the ground and then each other's sticks three times before going after the puck. Otto got it and he skated towards Sam with a murderous rage in his eyes.
"O.O;;;; Oh crap!" Sam yelled as he noticed the fire in Rocket Boy's eyes. The blond goalie shook in nervous anticipation as Otto got within striking distance. The Rocket raised his hockey stick and roared loudly, causing Sam to dive for cover. Otto took advantage of this and whacked the puck right into the goal!
::BRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNNG!!!!!::
"Squid! What was that!?" Lars yelled as he and Keoni skated up to Sam, who was shaking.
"Layoff!" Keoni yelled before turning to Sam. "What happened, brah?"
"Nothing. I just lost my nerve, that's all." Sam replied as he stood up. "How much time is left?"
"Just a minute. If we can last that long, we'll win." Keoni answered.
"If we don't, we'll go into overtime." Lars said.
(A/N: Street Hockey has overtime, right?)
"I won't let them get past me again!" Sam declared. There was more riding on this than his first pokémon. His friends' lives were at stake! Who knew what would happen if he couldn't get them to quit Team Rocket!?
"You better not, Squid." Lars warned as he and Keoni got into position for the last play.
"We're at the final minute of the game, ladies and gentlemen!" The announcer, who just showed up, said. "Team Squid leads Team Rocket five to four. Will the Rockets score and bring us into overtime? Or will the Squids claim victory?" The crowd cheered. Lars cringed after hearing all that.
'I can't believe he just called me a Squid!' He thought bitterly. Reggie and Keoni went to the center.
'We gotta score!' Reggie thought urgently. She looked at Otto, who was on her right. He nodded at her and she nodded back before facing Keoni again.
'I wonder what that was about.' Keoni thought, looking at his opponents. 'Whatever they're planning, we'll beat them. All we gotta do is protect Sam for sixty seconds.' Sweat beaded down the two players' faces as they awaited the final drop of the puck.
'It'll take me about half a minute to get to Sam.' Reggie thought. 'I hope we can pull this off.'
The tension in the air was so thick; you could cut it with a knife. All eyes were focused on center stage at the two players, who were glaring at each other. One, the beautiful criminal mastermind. The other, the brilliant and noble gym leader. One had everything riding on this game. The other didn't have much to lose. He just wanted to help his friend and bring these fiends to justice.
The ref dropped the puck. The two players slapped their sticks onto the ground and each other's stick three times. It felt like an eternity between each smack of the hockey stick. When the third hit against the ground was finally made, Reggie got the puck and bolted past Keoni. The timer started ticking down. Otto streaked past Lars, who quickly caught up and fought to get to Reggie. Keoni quickly skated over to the female Rocket and made to steal the puck, but the girl quickly passed it to her brother. Otto got past Keoni, reared back, and fired the puck as the final ten seconds ticked away.
Ten…
Nine…
All hearts were beating at a hundred miles per hour.
Eight…
Seven…
The puck whizzed through the air.
Six…
Five…
Sam raised his hand and closed his eyes.
Four…
The puck flew closer and closer.
Three…
It
Two…
Is
One…
Going to…
::BUUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!::
Sam opened his eyes and looked towards his clenched fist. He lowered his hand and opened his fist. He grinned when the hockey puck fell to the ground!
"TEAM SQUID WINS!!!!!!!" The ref yelled, waving the green flag. The crowd roared as Team Rocket stomped the ground in defeat. Confetti flew around the entire stadium.
"We did it!!!" Sam cheered as he skated to his teammates and slapped their hockey sticks together.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu squeaked as it jumped into the field and ran up to Sam. Team Squid separated and Sam skated over to his pokémon. They both got to each other and hugged each other tightly. Lars and Keoni looked at Sam and turned to each other with light smiles.
"Great job out there." Lars said, holding up his hand.
"Same to you, cuz." Keoni replied, taking it and shaking firmly. Sam stood up and went to his two teammates with Pikachu in his arms.
"Thanks a lot for all your help, guys." He said, taking a hand and shaking Keoni's. When Sam offered to give Lars a handshake, the older kid turned away with a grunt and his arms crossed.
"No problem." He said roughly. "Don't forget we're still rivals, Squid." Sam rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah." Lars turned to him with a smile.
"Anyway, it was fun beating those little twerps for once." He said. Sam gasped.
"I almost forgot!" He skated to the other end of the field. Lars and Keoni shrugged and followed. They stopped a short distance away from Team Rocket, who was kneeling on the ground. Sam skated forward.
"My team won, so you guys have to live up to your end of the bet." He said. The trio looked up.
"I can't believe that of all things for us to lose to you in, we lose a Hockey game." Otto said.
"We were so close!" Twister shouted. "How could we have lost?"
"I guess there's nothing more to say except we're sorry and—" Reggie started.
"We quit Team Rocket." They all finished sadly. Just then, their bodies glowed brightly. Sam, Lars, and Keoni stared wide-eyed at them.
"What's happening to them?" Sam asked.
"NO!!!!!! THE CARD!!!" They heard Izzy yell. Team Squid turned towards the stands. A card was floating in the air away from the caped boy. It was glowing as brightly as Team Rocket was. Izzy jumped towards it, but it was too far. He looked down and landed on the ground with a thud.
The card began to spin in the air. Almost instantly, a red snake-like ghost floated out of Otto's body. This was followed by a blue ghost that floated out of Reggie's body. A white ghost snake that had a head shaped like a meowth's came out of Twister's body. The three ghosts twirled around in the air before getting sucked into the card. The card soon stopped spinning and floated down towards Izzy. The caped boy looked up as it stopped glowing.
It was the card that started this whole thing!
"'Here Comes Team Rocket.'" Izzy read as he grabbed the card and put it in his deck. He turned to Sam and gave a small chuckle. "Congratulations. You passed the test."
"What do you mean?" Sam asked.
"You proved your courage by defeating your friends. You also drove out the spirits that possessed them." Sam turned towards the former Team Rocket. The trio stopped glowing and picked themselves up with a groan. They were no longer in their uniforms, but their regular clothes.
"Ugh… What happened?" Otto asked.
"Where are we?" Reggie asked.
"Is it time for breakfast?" Twister asked. Sam grinned.
"You guys are back to normal!" He yelled happily. The trio turned to Sam.
"What are you talking about?" Otto asked. Sam ignored him though as he turned towards Izzy, who was starting to leave with Sadie.
"You still have one more test to pass." The caped kid said, not turning towards Sam. "You have to defeat me in this afternoon's battle. If you can do this, I'll send you home." With that, he left.
"What was that kook talking about?" Reggie asked as she, Otto, and Twister walked up to Sam.
"It's a looooong story." Sam replied. "I'll tell you all about it." He walked out of the stadium, followed by his friends.

Post-chapter Conversation
"I got it!" I yelled as I ran up to Izzy.
"Uhhh… Got what?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I know why I got reported twice in a row like that!"
"Ok… What is it?"
"Well, the fic that got deleted before this one was dealt with on July 26th, right?" I started. Izzy nodded. "And this fic got deleted on August 7th."
"I still don't see a connection, Boss." Izzy said confusedly.
"Don't you get it!?" I yelled. "The other fic was deleted a little over a week after Island of the Menehune premiered, while this fic got deleted a week after The Big Day premiered!"
"So? It's a coincidence." Izzy said with a shrug.
"This ain't no coincidence."
"You don't mean…" Izzy started.
"Yeah. Those two RP movies are bad luck!!!" I screamed. Izzy raised an eyebrow at me.
"And I thought I was superstitious."
"The good thing is that as long as no more RP movies come out this year, I'm safe." I sighed before turning to the camera. "Anyway, at long last, our hero is reunited with his friends! Now that his friends have been freed, can Sam defeat Izzy in the championship match?"
"No way! I'll win hands down!" Izzy scoffed.
"Yeah right!" Sam yelled as he joined us. "I'm gonna beat you!" Izzy turned to him with a smug look.
"Listen here, you blond snorlax, I'm gonna claim victory! And another thing—Oh crap!" He looked at me nervously.
"What?" I asked. Izzy raised an eyebrow.
"Uhhh… hello! I just made a fat joke. I thought you didn't like me making fun of Sam."
"Actually, Snorlax isn't the fattest pokémon. Groudon is." I clarified.
"Ooooh…" Izzy turned to Sam. "I take it back. You're a blond groudon!"
::WHAM!::
I put down my mallet and winked at the camera.
"See ya next time!"
(Note: Because the site's supposed to be down on Wednesday, I'm going to end out the fic with a double update on Friday.)
