Ron the True Fan: Remember Kalos? I remember Kalos. I remember being THOROUGHLY PISSED OFF by Kalos.

Takeshi Yamato: Oh yeah. Ash finally got to the finals… and that damn Mega Charizard-X. Don't get me wrong, I LIKE Charizard, and Mega-X is my favorite form of it… but Ash got robbed. Time for a bit of payback.

Ron the True Fan: Greninja CAN beat Mega Charizard-X. I've done it. After 18 years? Ash deserved to win. And I am THOROUGHLY tired of him being shafted. Vengeance is due.


Blackthorn City, Johto Region, 1359 hours local time, Day 202 of Ash Ketchum's Pokemon Journey


Alain… was not a popular thing to bring up with the Kalos Pokemon.

His Mega Charizard X was a bad thing to bring up as well. The power of that thing made no sense, type change or not, because Greninja should've been able to defeat him. After learning about Cyrus' bullshit, they blamed the petty bastard.

That said, the normally happy and calm Goodra was conscious of the fact that this WASN'T Alain's Charizard, he wasn't giving a damn.

The rain began to fall.

Lance was not Alain. This was not his Charizard.

Goodra DIDN'T CARE.

"The rain's not going to help." Lance said. "Even with Hydration, it'll just delay the inevitable."

"Goodra!" 'Really? You think this is just going to drag out my end?' the dragon snail said, shaking his head in disappointment. "Goo-goo-goo…" 'You have NO IDEA what I can do, Lance…'

"Goodra." Ash said, attempting to reign in his anger at facing another Charizard X. He knew he shouldn't be mad at this Pokemon. "Don't hurt him THAT much."

(Recommended reading music: Magni and Modi, God of War 2018)

"Charizard, Blast Burn!" Lance ordered, the black dragon charging up the fire-type version of Hyper Beam, plasma forming in his maw as Goodra rolled his eyes, completely and utterly BORED.

"Goo?" 'Would you mind speeding this up?' Goodra asked, wishing he had a watch to look at to make the image complete. "Dra." 'I have better things to do.'

That ended as well as you'd expect, as the Mega Evolved Pokemon unleashed the plasma attack, hitting the thoroughly unimpressed Goodra in the chest, pushing him back, his footing slipping somewhat, making him use his tail as a tripod.

The force was enough to push him back, but really, he'd been hit with worse by ASH'S Charizard, who perfected the use of it.

Because once you master all the fire attacks, as Charizard had, you could enrich them with more heat. This Charizard hadn't. Probably just gotten all the dragon-type ones down and got Blast Burn taught as an afterthought.

Ash let his Pokemon decide what they wanted to be and he helped them get there. Goodra wanted to be a protector and guardian, able to take a beating and return it in equal or greater measure. The snail laughed as the rain dripped onto his skin, Hydration kicking in and healing his wounds.

"That was full strength. HOW was that full strength?" Lance stated, confused before noticing the rain wasn't covering the field. Just Goodra's side. It didn't degrade the plasma until it actually reached Goodra.

"Dragonpulse and Dragon Claw! Keep hitting Goodra until he faints!" the champion ordered, Ash not commanding Goodra to do anything to counter.

Ash KNEW Goodra had a plan. He trusted in Goodra's judgment. And if it was bad, he'd abort.

"Pikapi…" 'Ash…' Pikachu started.

"Goodra's fine." Ash said as Charizard rushed at Goodra, swiping at Goodra's face, leaving a nasty mark before swiping again, leaving another massive bruise, Goodra looking COMPLETELY unimpressed.

"Goodra." 'Try harder! I am not impressed!' he declared, blocking a rightward swipe from connecting using his arm, Charizard roaring before drenching him in dragon fire.

Goodra's expression turned from bored to bored and annoyed. Charizard, HIS Charizard, hit harder! "Goo." 'I am BORED.' he drawled. "Goodra." 'Stop WASTING my time.'

A Fire Blast was the response to that, Goodra headbutting the Mega Evolved Pokemon away, only for Charizard to plant his feet in the dirt, charging up another Blast Burn in his maw.

"Goodra, whatever you're up to-" Ash started, Goodra putting up an arm to say 'I got this' in the universal way.

"Goodra!" 'Keep hitting me. COME ON! I can't even FEEL your hits and that's with you going all dragon-type on me!' the Dragon Pokemon declared. "GOODRA!" 'TRY HARDER! Ash's Charizard hits harder then you and he's what, a full ten years younger! HIT ME!'

Superheated plasma and a roar was the response, the rain turning to steam in its' wake, slamming into Goodra's chest before the rain returned, Goodra THOROUGHLY unimpressed.

Lance was starting to wonder if this was Hydration or just Goodra being a stone wall.

…The latter. Goodra had been hit with worse and genuinely looked bored with Lance's Charizard. This was an affront to his pride. If Charizard could learn Draco Meteor, it'd be in full use here!

"Charizard, keep hitting him! He's regenerating faster then you can damage him!" the Lord of Dragons ordered. "Put out the rain!"

"Zar!" 'I don't know Sunny Day, you-' Charizard started before putting fire into the sky, trying to heat the clouds into dissipating through sheer brute force.

"Goodra." 'That won't work.' Goodra said before a white shine surrounded him. Ash nodded, finally understanding.

Lance's face drained of color. The only attack Goomy knew at birth. "Bide." he said. "He's been soaking up attack after attack after attack for… a supercharged Bide. CHARIZARD, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE!"

The Mega Evolved Pokemon took to the air, but this would not be enough.

"Goodra." 'Too bad. Reap the whirlwind.' Goodra declared before unleashing a massive beam of energy from his mouth.


"NATU!" 'THIS IS NOT FUN!' Kyoji's parrot squawked as he dodged more dragon fire, a Dragonair firing on him from above.

"Gible!" 'Not friends! NOT FRIENDS!' cried his little land shark as he chomped on another Axew, which was not Iris'.

He just evolved and was ax-heading his way through everything.

"Come on, guys, we're good! Just… a few THOUSAND more to go!" Kyoji cried as his Charizard slammed into the ground, grappling with a Flygon. "Charizard!"

"ZARD!" 'I'm… GOOD!' she cried, Mega Punching her enemy in the face before a massive beam of energy fired out of the gym, hitting something, with the energy slamming into it, then being reflected, hitting the ground outside the gym, making a trench around the group, knocking dozens of Pokemon out… none of which were theirs.

Neesha moved her sweat-soaked hair away from her face. "What the hell was that?" she asked. "A Hyper Beam?"

"Color isn't a match. Hyper Beams are gold-white." Max said, caring for his Ralts. "That was a Bide."

"A Bide?" Neesha asked. "It would take, I don't know, a nuke to cause that!"

"Or a Champion-level Pokemon hammering a Goodra constantly." Serena said, smiling. "Goodra knows Bide and Rain Dance. And has Hydration."

Anabel panted as she looked after Espeon and her Natu, who were exhausted, Natu being totally still as Natus NEVER closed their eyes. "Why are you smiling?" she demanded.

"Ash protected us." the Kalosian duchess said, looking around, a mix of yandere and libido in her eyes. "They're not attacking us anymore."

All of them looked around and saw… exactly that. The locals were backing off, recalling their Pokemon.

"Uh, you KNOW that was coincidence." Kyoji stated. "Goodra… Bide beamed one of Lance's Pokemon and… this happened."

"Doesn't matter to the locals." Iris said. "As far as they're concerned, they have proof that attacking us is an attack on Ash and they already know attacking him is suicide." At that, they all gave her a look. "I'm from Opelcuid. It's not THAT different from Blackthorn in a lot of ways. Unova's a Shadow Pokemon-filled hellhole. Not as bad as Orre…"

"But bad enough." Kyoji said, looking at the gym. "So… Pokemon Center? We have wounded, after all."

The yellow Gible waddled up to his trainer, too tired to chomp. So Kyoji returned Charizard to her ball and picked up the Gible, who closed his eyes and slept, his little feet trying to run. "Aw… he's sleep-hunting…"

Max looked at the land shark. "For what?" he asked.

Kyoji smirked. "Heads. He's a Gible." the Ranseian said, petting the little land shark.


Lance winced as Charizard was sent flying into Mount Silver's slope. Under regulations, even if Charizard was conscious, that qualified as a ring out. And Lance doubted Charizard was conscious.

"Two for two, one more…dramatic then the last." the Lord of Blackthorn admitted. "I hope I can do something to dent your winning streak."

"Winning isn't important to me anymore, Lance." Ash said, somewhat depressingly. "It stopped mattering the minute I got here and…when everything started. I don't care about victory anymore. I don't even know what I care about anymore."

"Pika." 'You care about your friends.' Pikachu replied, his look growing devilish. "Pi…" 'Your girlfriends…'

"Knock that off, Pikachu." Ash deadpanned before returning Goodra. "I think you know what I'm doing."

"Two dragons. A theme." Lance said. "You're using every dragon-type or dragon-like Pokemon you have. Meaning…Charizard or Gible are next." the champion sighed. "I am not looking forward to hurting that land shark. I mean… Gibles are the friendliest dragons along with Goomy. It's cruel."

The King of Pokelantis made a rude quip even the authors find so offensive they did not put it down. Ash's response to that was even MORE unspeakable.

Call it what you will, no one denies the bastard does not deserve WORSE.

"Well, I have good news for you, Lance." Ash said. "I have a few outliers for that!" with that, he tossed out a Pokeball, releasing a massive crimson-winged quadrupedal dragon, who roared on release.

A Salamance. Hunter J's Salamence.

Lance voiced what every single reader must be thinking if they hadn't read the first two arcs. "How the hell did you get that thing and ARE YOU INSANE?!"

Ash scoffed. "My Kalos team got him." he answered to the first. "And Charizard beat the crap out of him to show him his place on the pecking order, as Kyoji put it. Charizard trusts me, I trust Charizard. And Salamence will listen thanks to Charizard."

"A slave soldier." Lance summed up. "But then, he's terrified of his alpha, which makes making a working relationship with you hard."

Ash tried not to get mad at Lance's remark. It was true, which was the problem. But then, he had another five or so months to start to undo that.

He was going to need every edge for Johto, then Hoenn…and finally Sinnoh, when Cyrus made his move. And Ash would counter it.

"We'll work on that." Ash assured. And he kept his promises. "Salamence?"

The dragon looked back to his new trainer with some fear in his eyes, no doubt thinking if he made Ash mad, Charizard would beat the living shit out of him again.

"Do what you need to, but don't hurt Lance's Pokemon too much." Ash relented. "I can trust you. Just don't go too far. Please?"

Salamence looked back towards Ash before looking to Lance.

"I won't take it personally." Lance said, tossing out a ball, releasing a Pokemon that Ash knew all too well. An ancient flier that nearly killed him many times. Aerodactyl.

"Do what you have to, but please…don't put him on death's door." Ash asked. "I've been there too many times and I don't want anyone else joining me." This one had done NOTHING to him and did not deserve his distaste for the species..

Salamence roared at Aerodactl, who rushed at the larger dragon, fangs sparking while Salamence used Flamethrower in return.

Ash pinched the bridge of his nose. This… was going to end badly.


Oak Ranch, Pallet Town, Kanto Region - 1448 hours local time


Perhaps it was fortunate that Belladonna was in Rota now. The chaos would destroy her mind.

Especially as someone evolved while fighting his Hoennic type-advantaged counterpart.

"Nin." 'Praise. Arceus.' said the recently reevolved Greninja, his Battle Bond fully restored.

"Tile." 'You are a pain in the ass.' Sceptile declared. "Sceptile." 'Worse then I was.'

"Gren." 'I recall Charizard hitting you with a fraction of a percentage of a sun.' the shinobi Pokemon retorted.

Roaring was heard as rock and water-types all belonging to Ash rushed back. "Tile." 'That sounded like Torracat was on a binge.' the archosaurian grass-type drawled. "Scep?" 'Bets on him evolving?'

"ROAR!" 'THE POWER! THE POWER!' came the scream of a newly evolved Incineroar, mad with newly-found power.

"Nin." 'Sucker's bet.' the water-type deadpanned.

And after reevolving back to his final state, Levanny was… up to something.

And it involved Gible. That shark was scheming and whenever Gible schemed, it always ended up with someone getting chomped on.

At least his plans were never evil, just… chompy.

"Greninja." 'Why was I not brought to Blackthorn?' the frog asked. "Ninja." 'I could have aided in the battle between our lord and Lance.'

"Tile." 'You're not ready. You still need to get used to your body again.' Sceptile retorted. "Sceptile." 'Charizard needed time to get his wings in shape after evolving. You should've seen Ivysaur's screaming.'

Greninja didn't want to know. That said…

"Nin." '…I am seeing a lack of dragon-types.' the ninja frog said. "Ja." 'I see Dragonair, but…'

"Sceptile-tile." 'Ash brought every dragon-type he has to fight Lance. Dragonair's just not ready.'

THUD!

"Dra!" 'Ow! Still working on that!' Dragonair apologized.

Sceptile shrugged as if asking 'what can you do?'.


Blackthorn City - 1457 hours local time


Salamence was… pissed. But unlike Hunter J, Ash… was just watching, seeing if he was going too far.

It was a hell of a career change to go from mercenary Pokemon to league battler. And while he was not… sociable… he had been watching Ash's team.

They were all powerful, able to defeat him in unique, humiliating ways. That Ivysaur was INVENTIVE with his vines, Salamence quickly learning that Ash's team were more focused on speed and creative tactics and very few of them needed to be as powerful as he was.

Of all the Pokemon he tried fighting to move his way up the picking order, he only managed to defeat some. The second he tried fighting even that Dartrix or even Grotle, they always managed to use EVERYTHING from the ground to his own body against him.

That said… Aerodactyl was not trained like Ash's team. All power, no brains. Then again, ancient Pokemon: as a whole, they weren't exactly SMART.

They could be trained to obey… but that was not perfect.

In fact, the smartest ancient Pokemon was determined to be the Tyrunt line, from what he gathered from his now-dead former mistress.

Ash kept his eyes on him, looking to intercede in his brutality if need be. So far, he was letting him fight.

"Hyper Beam!" Lance ordered.

"Stall and drop!" Ash ordered, Salamence being confused but obeying, the beam of energy shooting from Aerodactyl's maw just as Salamence arrested his forward motion, the large dragon surrendering to gravity's hold.

J would have made him tank the shot and keep going. But the large crimson-winged dragon avoided it, dropping like a rock before going for the jugular.

Literally.

He beat his wings, racing at Aerodactyl's throat, clamping his jaws around it with enough force that, had Aerodactyl not been a rock-type, would have snapped his neck.

Instead, it merely made the ancient pokemon gasp for air.

"Salamence, no!" Ash pleaded, but it was too late, as Salamence dove for the ground, Aerodactyl in his jaws, slamming the flying-type into the ground Lance returned Aerodactyl before it could get worse.

"I'll concede that." the champion said. "You have work to do."

Ash looked at Salamence, who suddenly looked terrified. "Yes. We do." he said, sighing before returning the Pokemon. "It's a good thing I'm going home after this…"

"We're still not done, Ash." Lance said, pulling out another Pokeball. "And just so you know… I think if the other timeline didn't explode? You probably would have become the best trainer of your generation."

Ash wished he could believe Lance, but focused on the fight, as the champion's Pokemon emerged, which looked like a traditional dragon mixed with a dragonfly, complete with 'compound eyes', which were really like goggles covering normal eyes.

A Flygon. Ash had a Trapinch back at the Ranch who was probably still adjusting to life as one of his team.

Ash felt bad, but… well, he needed the practice. So he tossed out a Pokeball.

And out came the squat, rotund and paradoxically adorable form of Gible, who swayed side to side in a little Gible dance.

Lance's eye twitched. "Why." he stated. "Why must a Pokemon that becomes so powerful start out so cute? I feel bad having to order Flygon to fight him…"

"Gible!" 'Don't! I'm only a Gible most of the time!' Gible cheered, slipping his evolite clip off his fin before making a 'Gib!' and glowing.

Lance sighed. "Right. Evolite. Almost forgot that was a thing." he said as Gible turned back into a Garchomp… which did as Gibles did and eyesmiled. It wasn't as cute, but…well, you could see the land shark within.

"Have fun, Gible!" Ash said, letting the Gible-in-Garchomp's-skin off what little leash he had, resulting in the Mach Pokemon shooting forward, maw open for his usual greeting.

Lance didn't even need to tell Flygon to take to the air and run.


Two Gibles looked up as they saw a Flygon take to the air, fleeing from… a very happy looking Garchomp.

"Gible!" 'It's the shapeshifter!' cried Iris' land shark.

"Gi!" 'Chomp for the land sharks!' cried Kyoji's, who then sleepily dropped to the earthen floor, unconsciously - literally - burying himself up to his fin.

The thud got Kyoji's attention, rushing to check on the shark, only to find him sleeping, then petting the little guy. "Sleep, sharky." he said before checking on Natu.


Garchomp rarely practiced as a Garchomp. As a whole, he was happier as a Gible,able to chomp without hurting someone.

But as someone who faced off against Cyrus, or WOULD have, had Ash let him, he had to get practice in as an engine of destruction. That said…

He was still a Gible, really. And there was one thing Gibles loved to do.

Chomp.

And Flygon did not WANT to be chomped. He considered that rather rude.

Who WOULDN'T want to be chomped by a Gible?

Flygon, of course, was well-aware of the Gible line's love of biting things. Garchomps bit less, but only because they had stronger jaw muscles then Gibles and learned to not bite as much, which… made them angry.

This was not the case. Ergo, he was fleeing like his life depended on it. Which it DID.

"CHOMP!" 'Get back here!' cried the air shark. "GARCHOMP!" 'I want to chomp!'

"Fly!" 'NOT HAPPENING!' declared the dragonfly, launching off a Dragonbreath at the air shark, who banked to evade.

"Chomp!" 'Fine! I'll MAKE you want to get chomped!' Garchomp declared, charging an orange orb in his mouth.

Flygon smirked. Drago Meteor was a cluster bomb attack. It would go up, explode and he'd be fine.

Instead, the orb was launched and… started homing in on him?

Oh, NO.

Garchomp eyesmiled. "Chomp!" 'It's either that or the chomp!' he said all too cheerfully. Then making more.

And more. AND MORE.

HOMING Draco Meteors?! HOW WAS THAT A THING?!


Lance stared upwards as Flygon was chased by orange orbs as Garchomp…minigunned them from his maw.

"I have no idea how he does that." Ash said. "He just… does."

Flygon dove towards the ground, Lance watching as the orbs continued to follow the dragonfly dragon.

He tucked in his wings and acted like a Trapinch, digging into the ground to escape. But the orbs were patient, some slamming into the ground, making him think he was safe.

Comically, almost cartoonishly, the rest combined into something akin to a miniature sun. Lance was just too confused to comment on it.

It made no sense. It DEFIED what he knew about dragon-type attacks. And when Flygon surfaced, he noticed the new sun too late, looking up to see it fall onto his head.

The explosion was massive, the pressure wave slamming into reflect and barrier walls, breaking one after another after another, unable to take the force of over four hundred dragonic attacks turned into what was, effectively, a small nuke.

A nuke that was barely contained by the psychic shields, with one VERY weak barrier in place after the dust cleared, revealing a bruised and dirty Flygon that was unconscious and if Lance didn't notice the rise and fall of his chest, he thought the poor thing would be dead.

"How…I…That…" Lance tried, his brain unable to accept what happened. "HOW?!"

Garchomp then slammed into the ground right beside Flygon, then clamped his jaws around Flygon's head with a happy chomp, eyesmiling the entire time.

"Chomp-chomp-chomp-chomp-chomp-chomp-chomp." said the smug air shark before Ash sighed, picking up his evolite clip and tossing it at him, sliding onto his fin, falling down to the base before he glowed and shrank, becoming… Gible.

"Gib-Gib-Gib-Gib-Gib-Gib-Gib-Gib-Gib-Gib-Gib!" warbled the land shark, still eyesmiling. Lance could only imagine how HAPPY that little… cute… shark was.

WHY did Gible have to be CUTE? He was a shark! Sharks weren't supposed to be cute!

"You can make friends later, Gible." Ash chided, Gible making a sad and disappointed 'Gib…' before being returned to his ball.

That hurt Lance more then he wanted to admit. Because… well… Gible was Gible.

But there was a battle to continue, so he returned Flygon, then reached for the ball containing his Altaria, tossing it out and releasing the cloud bird, who sang out a challenging 'Tari!'.

Ash tossed out his own… and out came his infamous Charizard.

Lance's face drained of color. That thing was powerful enough to destroy Giovanni's reinforced gym and make a time-delayed micro-eruption at Cinnabar.

Altaria was BEYOND fucked.


Iris stared at the rising mushroom cloud. "Did Ash just NUKE the gym?" she exclaimed. "That looks like a nuke."

"All explosions form mushroom clouds." Serena said, her voice flat and monotone. "We simply associate them with nuclear explosions due to the bombings of Orre. Usually the 'caps' dissipate faster in smaller yields."

Misty looked at Serena in confusion. "You're… new." she said carefully. "So… what part of Serena are you?"

The now-garnet-eyed blonde looked at Misty. "I am the aspect of her intellect and logic," she answered. "You may call me Rey. Or Serena. But do not call me Relena. That is… annoying."

And a bit of a copyright infringement-(WHACK! YOU EARNED THAT ONE, TAKE!)

Anabel sighed. "Your mind is tortured." the psychically awakened purplette said.

"A psychic tried to make us love him instead of Ash. We objected." 'Rey' recounted. "Forcefully. We belong to Ash."

"Belong? Bit of a strong term to use." Neesha quipped as a Joy poked her head in, then noticed the conversation and got right the hell out.

Serena turned her head to Neesha, annoyance from EVERY facet of her mind radiating out as she turned her entire body to face her. "Ash encouraged us to be better than we were. To not be afraid of everything that jumped out of the shadows. To be who and what we are, accepting us as we are and not FORCING change on us."

Kyoji put a hand on her shoulder. "We get it." he stated. "You fell for him because he saw you and not some… noble title. No need to go angry princess."

"That particular perk helps since he keeps attracting VERY nice eyecandy." Serena said, sultry and seductive, showing Jade was back in charge.

Robin hid behind Mei, who hid behind Misty. Who was unamused. "You're gonna have to get used to it." the redhead said. "Hell, I'm practically dating her. We're kinda engaged through Ash."

"And you kissed me." the Kalosian purred, getting looks from EVERYONE.

Mei blinked. "What." she said, unable to process this.


Altaria's doom was swift but merciful, at least by Charizard standards.

At least it wasn't as CONFUSING as the homing Draco Meteors that Lance was STILL wondering how was possible. Just Flamethrowers, Fire Blasts, Blast Burns and a LOT of dodging. That lizard knew how to fly.

But now all of Ash's victories would be reversed. It would take all of his team that was still able to take down this last one.

"Now to the last." Lance said, returning Altaria. "You've done well. Confusingly well. That Draco Meteor thing… never mind. Now you face my best."

Ash looked at Pikachu. "And so will you." he declared. "Send out Dragonite. Let's see who comes out on top."

Lance did as Ash requested, tossing out a tarnished, scratched ball, releasing the massive final evolution of Dratini, the orange dragon slamming his feet into the ground. "You've climbed a mountain. Passed every test. Walked Victory Road. You've crushed the Elite Four. But now your challenge ends."

Ash closed his eyes, then turned his cap back. Seven years he'd waited for this. Would his ten-year old expectations be met?

Or would his newfound cynicism rain on it?

Pikachu jumped to the field, sparking.

It was time to find out.


Entry 98: Draco Meteor

Discribed originally as a 'shotgun' attack, it is, in reality, normally a cluster bomb, fired skyward to create 'bomblets' designed to destroy a given area.

Ash Ketchum's Gible violates this rule, as his Draco Meteors turn into homing missiles. No one can explain this and whenever the land shark is questioned or asked to teach, all he does is latch onto someone and chomp.

Gibles are infuriatingly cute like that…


Entry 99: Lance's Dragonite

The Unifier. The Breaker of Cities.

Lance's Dragonite is responsible for many military actions in Kanto and earned his nicknames by destroying the defensive fortifications of independent citystates like Pewter and Celadon, his mere presence alone ensuring the peaceful surrender of Saffron City.

Lance's starter NEVER leaves his party, always used as the last resort in battle. In fact, the Dragonite is so destructive, the fight for the last remaining major city in Kanto, that being Vermillion, leveled the entire area and inspired Lance's diplomatic efforts in Johto.

So far, only one Pokemon in this generation seems posed to challenge this status: Ash Ketchum's Pikachu.

Arceus help us all if they come to blows.


Takeshi Yamato: I would seriously recommend queueing up the Anime rendition of the Johto Champion theme now. It has the appropriate epic feel for the showdown about to commence.

Ron the True Fan: Jumping the gun a little. That fight deserves its' own chapter, which is WHY I glossed over the rest. That and I'm in a funny mood. See Noivern and Exeggutor. Or ANYTHING involving Gible. …That part made me struggle because the shark is SO CUTE!

Takeshi Yamato: That he is. Gible is cute. Because he is Gible.

(Cue Jaws theme)

Ron the True Fan: STOP TORTURING ME! Be menacing or adorable! NOT BOTH!

Takeshi Yamato: I think that's just not something Gible can do. As he can be both, depending on the situation, and we love him either way.

Ja ne!
