Hi, everyone! I'm back with another chapter of DC Superhero Girls and Aura Guardian! Have you ever gotten a certain kind of grade on a school report card that makes you feel like you didn't succeed? Well, there are ways of fixing that problem! But Diana's answer will only lead to her downfall, internally! Let's see how this all plays! All aboard for a new adventure!
*I DON'T OWN POKÉMON OR DC SUPERHERO GIRLS!*
It was another day at Metropolis High, and today our heroes were getting their report cards!
Jessica: At the risk of sounding like a pawn to the education-industrial complex, I have to admit… I love report card day!
Ash: I'm glad you do, Jess! But I'm not so sure I wanna see mine!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Zee: Why not?
Ash: [rubs his neck sheepishly] I'm not sure I did well enough in my classes!
Zee: I'm sure you did, hun! Let me see!
Ash: Okay! If you say so! [gives her his report card]
When, Zee looked at it...
Zee: "B", "A", "B", "A", "B-Minus", "B"! Honey, I'm impressed!
Ash: Really?
Pikachu: PIKA!
Zee: Yeah! You've done pretty good!
Ash: Thanks, Zee! I'm glad you think so! [reads Zee's report card] "A-Plus", "A-Plus", "A", "A-Minus", and "B-Plus"! Wow, Zee! Not only are you super beautiful, you're super smart too!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Zee: Naturally!
Serena: [smiles] Always a gentleman, Ashy!
Ash: [blushes] Well, I try!
Zee: And that's what we love about you!
Ash: I love you girls too!
Kara: [opens hers] If my GPA is up this term, Jeremiah will finally let me have my car back. [shudders] Let's see. "D-Minus"? [overjoyed] Guess who's back on the road!
Chloe: Kara, a D-Minus is awful!
Kara: Says who?
Goh: She has a point, Kara! Are you sure your foster parents are gonna allow that kind of grade?
Kara: Hey! It's better than nothing! Don't ruin my moment!
Goh: Okay okay!
Ash: [to Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup] How'd you girls do?
Blossom: We actually did pretty good!
Bubbles: It wasn't too hard once we got the hang of it!
Ash: That's awesome! [to Buttercup] What about you, Buttercup?
Buttercup: Mine was a little average!
Chloe: Average? How so?
Eevee: EEVEE?
Buttercup: [shows Chloe] See for yourself!
Chloe: B's and C's. Not bad at all!
Buttercup: Yeah! But I could've done better!
Babs: [rips open her report card] "B". "A". "B!" Oh, my gosh, it's finally happening. An "S" for satisfactory in test prep! My grades spell "Babs"!
Ash: Not bad!
Buttercup: [sweat drops] The reason why you're so excited is because your grades spell your own name?
Bubbles: Oh, don't ruin the moment for her, Buttercup!
Ash: [to Serena] How'd you do, Serena?
Serena: [shows him her report card] See for yourself!
Ash: Wow! I'm impressed! Just like Zee, you're smart and beautiful!
Serena: Aww! Thanks, Ashy!
She then kissed his cheek in appreciation.
Ash: [blushes] [giggles]
Karen: [notices Diana reading her report card] Diana, is everything okay?
Ribombee: RIBOM?
Ritchie: Something wrong?
Pikachu (Sparky): PIKA?
Casey: You look like you've seen a ghost!
Ash: Are you okay, Diana?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Lucario: MRAH?
Diana: [smiles] Oh, yes. It is just that there is an unusual symbol next to one of my "A's". Perhaps it is a smudge.
Zee: That is a minus. You got an "A-minus".
Diana: Uh, me-noose?
Torchic: TORCH?
Chloe: No! A minus!
Babs: You know, like not quite an "A". But better than a "B" plus.
Ash: Yeah! And it's not a bad thing!
Diana: But I have always achieved straight "A's". Clearly, a misunderstanding has transpired. A misunderstanding that shall be rectified immediately!
Ash: [as she walks off] There's really no need to do that, Diana! An "A-minus" isn't that big a deal! Aw, nuts and chews! Diana, [goes after her] wait!
Torchic: [stops Diana] TORCHIC TORCH!
Diana: Torchic?
Torchic: [telling her not to do it] TORCH TORCH TORCHIC!
Diana: I am sorry, Torchic! But this must be corrected!
And she continued onward!
Torchic: [lowers its head] TORCHIC…
Soon...
Diana was in the office!
[muffled speaking]
Ash: [whispers] Whaddya thinks going on?
Pikachu: [whispers] PIKA PIKA!
Zee: [whispers] I don't know!
Serena: [whispers] I hope she isn't in any trouble!
Then, they saw Diana about to come out!
Diana: It appears this me-noose is legitimate. Now, if you will excuse me, I have some "totally not related to the me-noose" business to attend to.
Then, she went into the janitor's closet!
Karen: Diana, that's the–
Babs: [stops her] Uh-uh, she probably wants some alone time.
Ash: For what?
Pikachu: PIKA?
[Diana grunts]
Babs: You know, to vent a little.
[Diana grunting]
Chloe: [to Babs] [raises an eyebrow] A little?
Babs: A lot. Give her a sec.
[Diana grunting]
Then, the door fell off!
Ash: WAH! Note to self: Don't on Diana's bad side!
Pikachu: [sweats nervously] PIKACHU!
Babs: Getting it out of her system is all.
Diana came out with an angry look while holding a mop!
Babs: See?
Diana: [shouts]
[crashes]
Serena: [as she jumps into Ash's arms] EEK!
Casey: This isn't looking too good!
Ritchie: She's going ballistic over an "A-minus"!
Pikachu (Sparky): PIKACHU!
Goh: Should one of us calm her down?
Babs: Maybe just give her one more second?
[5 days later...]
Diana was lying on the couch in the base all depressed!
Karen: Is she still breathing? Someone should check.
Ash: I'm pretty sure she's still breathing!
Goh: I can't believe she's been like that for 5 days!
Kara: Yeah, she hasn't moved from that couch in five days to even brush her teeth. I'm not going anywhere near where she breathes.
Chloe: Ugh! That's gross!
Eevee: [disgusted] EEVEE!
Ash: I know! [looks at Bulbasaur, who he was holding in his arms] Hey, Bulbasaur! Can you see if Diana's still alive with your Vine Whip?
Bulbasaur: [affirmative] BULBASAUR! [Vine Whip move with one vine] SAUR! [nods and smiles] BULBA!
Ash: Great job, Bulbasaur! She's still alive! But she still feels depressed!
Blossom: Should one of us go and talk to her and try to cheer her up?
Serena: I'm not sure! She won't listen to any of us!
Zee: Well, one thing's for sure. It's on us [as she makes her hat and wand appear] to cheer her up.
Sylveon: [agreeing] VEON!
Ash: Got that right!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Serena: Yeah!
Pancham: PANCHAM!
Ritchie: I agree!
Pikachu (Sparky): PIKACHU!
Casey: We gotta build the team spirit back into her system!
Goh: Got that right!
Grookey: GROOKEY KEY!
Chloe: Yeah!
Eevee: VEE!
Jessica seemed to be teaching Diana some meditation!
Jessica: Whenever I am feeling down, I find it helpful to re-center and refocus. [inhales deeply] Breathe in the outer peace, [exhales] and breathe out the inner chaos.
Reuniclus: [inhales] RE... [exhales] UNI!
Jessica: Very good, Reuniclus! [to Diana] You try.
Diana: [sighs, as a fly flies out of her mouth]
[fly buzzing]
Reuniclus: [shocked] REU?!
Kara was now punching her training dummy of Superman!
Kara: [grunts] Oh, yeah! See that? Punching stuff just makes you feel better.
Incineroar: [Karate Chop move] CINEROAR!
Incineroar karate chopped its dummy in half!
Kara: [gasps] Whoa! That...was...AWESOME! Nice chop, Incineroar!
Incineroar: [smirks] CINE!
Kara: [to Diana, as she grabs her hand] Come on, let me show you.
Diana just remained motionless!
Incineroar: ROAR?!
Now it was Casey's turn!
Casey: Sometimes, what cheers me up is watching my favorite baseball team and showing the team spirit!
She then turned on the TV, and the Electabuzz baseball team was playing!
Casey: Yeah! Go Electabuzz! Doesn't this flare up your team spirit, D?
But Diana just remained depressed!
Casey: Oh come on!
Now it was Serena's turn, and she was wearing her performer outfit!
Serena: This might cheer you up, Diana! One of our latest performances!
Delphox: DELPHOX!
Pancham: PANCHAM PAN!
Serena's Sylveon: SYLVEON!
Serena: Ready, Delphox! Make your ring of fire!
Delphox: [nods] PHOX! [Flamethrower move] DEL...PHOX!
And it made a ring of fire for Sylveon and Pancham to jump through!
Pancham: [jumps through] PAN!
Serena's Sylveon: [jumps through] VEON!
Serena: Now, Pancham! Dark Pulse! Sylveon, Fairy Wind!
Pancham: [Dark Pulse move] PAN...CHAM!
Serena's Sylveon: [Fairy Wind move] SYLVE...ON!
That cause an explosion of fireworks!
Growlithe: [amazed] GROWLITHE!
Haunter: [amazed] HAUNTER!
Grookey: [amazed] GROOKEY!
Serena: And now, Pancham! One stone Stone Edge!
Pancham: [Stone Edge move] PANCHAM!
Then, one large stone from the Stone Edge came from under Serena and then, she jumped off and, with Sylveon's Fairy Wind, she floated down safely!
Zee: Beautiful!
Zee's Sylveon: [eyes sparkle] VEON!
Serena: And finish! [bows]
Everyone in the base applauded, as Serena looked over at Ash!
Serena: [winks cutely]
Ash: [blushes] [chuckles] Beautiful as always, Serena!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Serena: [giggles]
But when she looked at Diana, she was still depressed!
Serena: [shocked] HUH?!
Goh: She's still stone cold!
Cinderace: CINDERACE!
Serena: [pouts] Hmph!
Pancham: [angry] PANCHAM!
Grookey: [jumps over to Diana and pokes her head with its stick] GROOKEY!
Goh: Grookey!
Serena: [pouts] She could've at least smiled!
Ash: [smiles] Hey, don't worry, Serena! You amazed me big time! As always!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Serena: [blushes] Thanks, Ashy!
She then kissed his cheek and booped his nose.
Serena: [hugs him] [with a bunch of hearts around them] You're always so sweet to me!
Zee: That's my Ashykins! [hugs him] Always such a gentleman!
Ash: [blushes] [giggles]
Chloe: This is nice and all, but now what?!
[party horn blowing]
Babs: [wearing a party hat] I call this my party hat! [puts a party hat on Diana] Because wherever you go, the party is at!
Grookey: [happy] GROOKEY!
That still didn't cheer her up, as Zee decided to give Diana a makeover!
Zee: [painting Diana's face with a makeup brush] Nothing like a little makeover magic to put a smile on your face.
Diana had big eyelashes, purple eyeshadow, and pink lipstick!
Goh: Uh...
Ritchie: You just made her face like yours!
Ash: [to Zee] [smiles] Talented as always, Zee Zee! As well as a genius!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Zee: Thanks, Ashykins! [kisses his cheek]
[tears flowing]
However, Diana started to shed tears, ruining her mascara.
Zee: Eh, this isn't working.
Buttercup: Well, since you guys are out of ideas, [as she rolls up her sleeves] I can always smack some sense into her!
Ash: Hold on, Buttercup! Let me go talk to her!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Buttercup: You?
Ritchie: Let him do it, Buttercup!
Pikachu (Sparky): PIKA PI!
Serena: I'm sure Ash will try to cheer her up somehow!
Buttercup: Fine! But literally smacking some sense into her would do the job! [to Treecko] Right, Treecko?
Treecko: [unamused] [shaking its head slowly] TREECKO!
So, Ash went over to the depressed Diana!
Ash: Hey, Diana!
Pikachu: PIKA!
But there wasn't a response!
Torchic: [worried] TORCHIC TOR!
Ash: Look, Diana! I know you're upset about that "A-minus", but nobody's perfect! I mean, I got a "B-Minus" on my report card, and I'm not complaining! Honestly, you had done better than me!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Lucario: [nods] MRAH!
Goh: Yeah! It's still straight A's!
Blossom: Yeah! I probably couldn't get straight A's like you would!
Bubbles: Me neither!
Buttercup: But that makeup makes you look ridiculous!
Ash: Buttercup! That's not nice! Honestly, I think it's a good look for her!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Goh: Well, it's different!
Torchic: [concerned] TORCHIC TORCH!
Ash: Even Torchic is worried about you, Diana! Can't you at least say something?
But Diana just remained depressed with ruined makeup on her face!
Karen: We're not addressing the real problem. The reason Diana got that minus is because she's spread way too thin.
Goh: What does that mean?
Cinderace: CINDER?
Grookey: GROOKEY?
Karen: [approaches Diana, as her eyes widened] See, Diana, on Themyscira, you only had to focus on being a warrior and a princess. But now you're also a superhero, a student, a team leader… and, well actually, here, [pulls out a chart] I made this chart.
The chart pictured Diana balancing different tasks!
Zee, Babs, Jessica, and Kara: Wow!
Ash: When did you have time to put that together, Karen?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Karen: For a while. Oh, hold on...
But then, she unfolded the chart, and it pictured Diana doing even more tasks, including a super long list!
Goh and Chloe: Whoa!
Goh: Talk about a long list!
Grookey: [playing with the list] GROOKEY!
Karen: Grookey, no! It took me a while to come up with that list!
Eevee: [copying Grookey] EEVEE VEE! [playing with the list] EEVEE!
Karen: Eevee! Not you too!
Bubbles: It is pretty cute though!
Babs: [reading the list, as Goh and Chloe pick their Pokémon up] Soup kitchens, volunteer tutoring. Wait, you've been giving our dogs baths?
Kara: That's why Krypto [as she snaps her fingers] stopped smelling like sardines.
Chloe: Your dog was smelling like sardines?
Kara: Yep! He gets dirty without me even knowing!
Chloe: What kind of dog do you even have?
Kara: Kryptonian! Just like yours truly!
Chloe: I... You know what? Forget it! I've got nothing to say!
Goh: [sweat drops] Right! Anyway... Continue please, Karen!
That's when Diana spoke up!
Diana: Thank you, Karen. This presentation has been most enlightening. And with Zeus as my witness, I swear to never again spread myself thin.
Ash: Who-did-the-what-now?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Karen: I'm so glad to hear that. Now you–
Diana: Because from the day forward, I shall only spread myself thicker.
Torchic: TORCH?!
Kara: You shall what now?
Diana: Karen is right. I cannot let a single, yet unforgivably reprehensible, transgression like a me-noose keep me from fulfilling my responsibilities. And now that she has streamlined each of my duties for me, I am sure to never again reek of failure.
Karen: N...no. Diana. My chart is supposed to show you that you're maxed out.
Ash: Diana! What you're planning isn't the answer! I think that whole minus is making you go cuckoo!
Diana: Not for long. [takes out a quill and scroll] I must write to Themyscira at once! [begins writing]
Ash: I have a feeling things are gonna go south for not just Diana! But for everyone!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Goh: She's definitely gone cuckoo in the head!
They all ran outside, and Diana seemed to be standing on a lamppost like a bird.
Diana: [mimicking crowing]
Chloe: [sweat drops] Definitely gone cuckoo!
Eevee: [mimicking crowing] EEVEE! EEVEE!
Chloe: Eevee! Don't you start!
Jessica: Uh, you're not sending away for a magical shell or anything, right?
Ash: I certainly hope not!
Goh: Yeah!
Serena: I agree!
Diana: Magical shell? Oh, do not be silly.
[hawk screeching]
Diana: I have requested the Mystical Fruit of Hermes. You see, when an Amazon prepares for war, she eats a sacred fruit that grants her boundless energy. And now I shall once again call upon its strength.
Then, a golden fruit dropped down!
Ash: What kind of fruit is that?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Diana: The Mystical Fruit of Hermes will give me the boundless energy I need! [chews loudly]
Chloe: I don't think that's such a good idea!
Blossom: Yeah! Shouldn't you at least figure out the side effects of that fruit first?
But it was too late, as Diana gained a confident smile on her face and leaped off from the lamppost!
Ash: I think she's gone Daffy!
Goh: Clearly!
Diana seemed to have grabbed Karen's chart!
Diana: [folds it] Can't forget my to-do list. [starts to run off]
Karen: It's not a to-do list. [groans]
Torchic: [runs in front of her] TORCHIC TOR!
Diana: Torchic? What is it?
Torchic: [wants to show Diana something] TORCHIC TOR! [tries to use Flamethrower] TOR...CHIC!
Diana: Hm?
Ash: I think Torchic is trying to show you that it's been trying to learn Flamethrower!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Goh: Though it doesn't look like it's working too well!
Cinderace: CINDER!
Goh: Kinda brings back memories! Huh, Cinderace?
Cinderace: [nods] CINDERACE!
Kara: Uh, whaddya mean by that?
Incineroar: CINE?
Goh: Oh yeah! You girls weren't around back then! See, back when Cinderace was a Scorbunny, it was trying to show me that it could learn a Fire type move because my Darmanitan teased it for knowing only two moves! It tried to learn Ember, but it didn't go too well! But during a battle with Team Rocket, we made a technique for Ember by using a small rock and the flaring from the pads on its feet! After learning Ember, it evolved into Raboot and after some time it evolved into the Pokémon you see today!
Cinderace: CINDERACE!
Babs: [eyes sparkle] Wow!
Kara: That's actually kinda cool!
But Diana wasn't listening and was talking to Torchic!
Diana: Look, Torchic! I do not have time to see you try something! I must become better than ever so I will not fail again! [walks passed Torchic]
Torchic: [sad] TORCHIC TORCH.
Bubbles: Poor Torchic! It looks so sad!
Squirtle: [agreeing] SQUIRTLE SQUIRT!
Buttercup: I think D may be taking that minus fiasco too seriously!
Treecko: TREECKO!
Ash: I wish there was something we could do to make her see that it's okay to not be perfect!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Goh: Yeah! But what can we do? Right now, she won't listen to reason!
Ash: Diana…
Pikachu: [worried] PIKACHU…
The next day, Diana seemed to be doing a science project in the auditorium while giving a speech!
Woman: And now giving the rebuttal from Metropolis High School, Diana Prince.
Diana: In closing, I will simply say this… if we ever hope to grow as a society, we must put ego aside and accept this immutable truth… pineapple has no place on a pizza pie.
[crowd cheering]
Goh: Pineapple on a pizza isn't that bad! And there's no law to have it on pizza!
Cinderace: CINDER!
Garth: Uh, Diana? Did Science Club really need to meet on the debate stage?
Diana: Yes! Oh, and next week we meet during Gymnastics Regionals, so be sure [tosses a pair of leotards to him] to bring your leotards.
Ash: [to Serena] I think Diana's finally lost it!
Serena: I would say so!
Soon, Diana had started eating more of the strange fruit and started to multitask at everything! She was competing in one of the school's volleyball games while studying for exams!
[buzzer sounds]
[all cheering]
Casey: I think this situation won't be healthy for her!
The next day, Diana was jogging with Ash, Kara, Karen, and Buttercup!
Ash: [jogging] Nothing like a good jog! Right, Pikachu?
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Lucario: [running] MRAH! MRAH!
Buttercup: [running] I'll say!
Treecko: TREECKO!
However, Diana seemed to be jogging in a zigzagging direction!
Buttercup: What the?!
Ash: I think Diana's become a Zigzagoon!
Pikachu: [sweat drops] PIKA!
Lucario: [sighs] [shakes his head] MRAH...
Kara started to get annoyed by this and stopped, but suddenly, a giant robot was attacking!
[all screaming]
[robot growls]
Ash: Uh oh! A robot that shoots fire from its hands!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Kara: Alright. Let's get to smash–
But then, Wonder Woman started fighting the robot by herself, as she punched its head, sliced off its leg with her sword, and charge through it and ripped out its wires!
Wonder Woman: [screams] ABSOL, DARK PULSE!
Absol: [concerned] SOL! [Dark Pulse move] AB...SOL!
That did more damage to the robot!
Wonder Woman: Excellent work, Absol!
Absol: [nods] [smiles] SOL!
Wonder Woman: Torchic, use-
Torchic: [tries to use Flamethrower] TOR...CHIC!
However, all it could do was one small flame!
Wonder Woman: Stick to the moves you know! Use Ember!
Torchic: [disappointed] TOR. [Ember move] TORCHIC!
That did even more damage to the robot! Then, Diana punched the robot across the street and it exploded!
Ash: Well, at least she defeated the bot!
Buttercup: [disappointed] But she didn't even bother to ask us for help!
Diana: [running in place] Come on, guys. We don't want to let our heart rates drop. [runs]
Torchic: [running] [serious] [telling Diana it can use Flamethrower] TOR TOR! TORCHIC TOR!
But Diana wasn't listening as she kept on jogging!
Torchic: [frustrated] TORCH!
At 2:00 in the morning, Babs and Ritchie were sleeping peacefully, but then they heard water splashing outside!
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): LY?
Pikachu (Sparky): PIKA?
When they looked outside, Diana was giving Babs' dog a bath!
Ritchie: Hey! Diana! Could you keep it down?! Some of us are trying to get some sleep!
Pikachu (Sparky): [annoyed] PIKACHU!
But Diana wasn't listening! In a nearby tree, a certain trio seemed to be watching Diana multitask.
Meowth: Well lookie there!
Jessie: Is it just me, or is the warrior twerpette more efficient than usual?
James: It would seem that way! Though it wouldn't be healthy for her to be up so late at night!
Diana: [chomping on fruit]
Meowth: Huh? Look at what she has! Looks like some kind of weird fruit!
Wobbuffet: WOBBUFFET!
Jessie: Never seen anything like that before!
James: Though it's new to me, but perhaps this must be the source of how she's able to multitask!
Meowth: That could be a very interesting thing to give to the boss! [visions] One bite of that fruit and he'll be able to multitask in more ways than one and he'll say... [imitating the boss] I should give Meowth and his friends a big promotion for finding me the answer to doing more things at the same time! [vision ends]
James: Brilliant plan, old chum!
Jessie: But wouldn't he go a little crazy from eating that fruit like the warrior twerpette is?
Meowth: True, but think of the energy the boss will have!
Team Rocket: Steal the magic fruit away and the boss will do more than just play!
Wobbuffet: [saluting] WOBBU WOBBUFFET!
The next day at school, Ash was hanging out with Zee, Babs, Serena, Goh, and Chloe, and Ash seemed to be thinking!
Ash: Hmm…
Pikachu: PIKA…
Zee: Everything okay, Ashykins?
Serena: You seem lost in thought!
Ash: Yeah! I just can't stop thinking about Diana! I feel like she lost all her sanity from eating that fruit!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Goh: C'mon, Ash! Sure she's gone a little crazy, but I'm sure she didn't lose her sanity!
Ash: I know! But I just can't stop worrying about her!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Babs: Eh, I'm sure she'll come around, eventually!
Chloe: Hopefully!
Zee: [places a hand on Ash's hand] And it would seem you care about Diana as much you do about me and Serena!
Ash: Yeah! I wish there was something I could do!
Zee: [places a hand on Ash's cheek] I'm sure there will be, honey bunch!
Ash: [smiles] Thanks, Zee! You know how to make me feel better!
Zee: You're welcome, honey bunny! [plays with his cheeks] You know I can't bare to see my boyfriend sad! [kisses his forehead] Mwah! [boops his nose] Boop!
Ash: [blushes] [giggles]
Pikachu: [giggles] PIKACHU!
Zee: And here's something for you, Pikachu! [kisses its forehead] Mwah!
Pikachu: [blushes] [coos] CHA!
Zee: [giggles] [nuzzles noses with Pikachu] You're just too cute!
Pikachu: [blushes] [happy] PIKACHU!
That's when they heard battling nearby!
Ash: Huh? What's that?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Goh: Sounds like a battle is going on!
Babs: Ooh! Let's go see!
And they did just that, and it was Hal Jordan's Hitmonlee against Diana's Torchic!
Ash: It's Diana! And she's using Torchic!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Diana: Torchic, use...
Torchic: [tries to use Flamethrower] TOR...CHIC!
Hal: Uh...
Hitmonlee: [with question marks around it] HITMON?
Diana: Torchic! How many times must I tell you?! Use the moves you only know! You won't be able to know any other Fire type moves! Now, use Ember at once!
Torchic: [frustrated] TORCH! [Ember move] TORCHIC!
Hitmonlee: [pained] LEE!
Hal: You can take it, Hitmonlee! Show that birdbrain who's boss!
Ash: Go, Diana!
Pikachu: [cheering] PIKA PIKA!
A certain pink cheerleader squealed at who she was standing next to!
Carol: EEEEE! ASHY!
Ash: Carol!
Pikachu: PIKA!
The said girl then hugged Ash in affection!
Ash: [chuckles] [hugs back]
Carol: [nuzzles noses with Ash] Oh, I missed you so much!
Ash: [blushes] I missed you too!
Carol: You came to watch the battle too?
Ash: Yep!
Carol: [hugs his arm] I knew you would, love bug! [whispers] Don't tell Hal I said this, but I kinda told him that his Hitmonlee couldn't stand a chance against Diana's Torchic!
Ash: [gasps] [snickers]
Pikachu: [snickers] PIKACHU!
Carol: I also noticed Diana's acting strange today! Any idea why?
Chloe: It's all because she got an A-minus on her report card!
Carol: Seriously? She's doing all this because of an A-minus?!
Ash: Among other things!
Diana: Torchic, use Ember!
But this time, Torchic didn't respond!
Diana: Torchic! I said use Ember!
Torchic: [saying "I know I can use Flamethrower! You're just too focused on trying to improve yourself!"] TORCH TOR TORCHIC TOR! TORCHIC TORCH TORCHIC! [tries to use Flamethrower] TOR...CHIC!
But all it could muster was another small flame!
Diana: We do not have time for this conversation! Use Peck!
Torchic: [frustrated] TORCHIC TORCH! [Peck move] TOR...CHIC CHIC CHIC CHIC CHIC CHIC CHIC!
Hitmonlee: [hit] HITMON MON MON MON MON MON!
Hal: Hitmonlee, Focus Blast!
Hitmonlee: [Focus Blast move] HITMON...LEE!
Torchic: [hit] TOR!
Diana: Torchic!
Hal: Use High Jump Kick!
Hitmonlee: [High Jump Kick move] HITMON...LEE!
Diana: Dodge immediately!
Torchic: [dodges] CHIC!
Hitmonlee didn't stop and ended up hitting the ground!
Hitmonlee: [grabbing his leg in pain] HITMON! HITMONLEE!
Hal: [gasps]
Zee: Whoa!
Carol: What just happened?
Ash: When the opponent dodges High Jump Kick, the user ends up damage itself!
Zee: [cringes] That had to hurt!
Sylveon: VEON!
Diana: Now, Torchic! Finish this with Quick Attack!
Torchic: [Quick Attack move] TORCHIC!
Hitmonlee: [pained] LEE!
Hitmonlee fell down defeated!
Hitmonlee: [dazed] [swirls in eyes] HITMONLEE...
Hal: Aw, man!
Diana: Huzzah! We have emerged victorious!
Torchic: [proud] TORCHIC TORCH!
Hal: [as he returns Hitmonlee] Hitmomlee, return!
After the crowd dispersed, Diana started to multitask again!
Ash: And she's back to multitasking again!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Carol: Even though I wasn't there for that ordeal, this is getting out of hand!
Chloe: She didn't even bother to praise Torchic!
Eevee: EEVEE!
Torchic: [pouts] TOR…
["Who's That Pokémon?" time]
[as a silhouette shows a Pokémon that resembles a chicken]
Ash, Serena, Ritchie, Casey, Goh, Chloe, Zee, Diana, Jessica, Babs, Kara, Karen, Carol, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup: Who's that Pokémon?
Ash, Serena, Ritchie, Casey, Goh, Chloe, Zee, Diana, Jessica, Babs, Kara, Karen, Carol, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup: It's Torchic!
[as the silhouette reveals Torchic]
Torchic: TORCHIC!
[End]
Back at the base, Karen, Ash, and Blossom were looking at the picture Babs posted online from Karen's phone, as Diana seemed to be lifting a barbell while reading a book.
Diana: [grunting] Eight, nine, two, two, five, six.
Karen: Uh, Diana, you busy?
Ash: You feeling okay, Diana?
Pikachu: PIKACHU?
Lucario: MRAH?
Diana: [with a crazy look] No, no. I'm just squeezing in a few reps while brushing up on Neruda and reciting pi to its hundredth place.
Luxio: LUX?
Blossom: Seriously?!
Ash: Diana! You gotta stop this! I think that whole A-minus fiasco and that fruit is making you go [as he makes the cuckoo sign] cuckoo!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Diana: [with a crazy look] Me?! Cuckoo?! Nonsense!
Karen: So, uh, I couldn't help but notice you've been acting different lately.
Diana: Indeed, I have. Thanks to your chart, I have never been so productive.
Karen: Uh…
Diana: In fact, I've nearly forgotten all about this shameful and indelible indignity left behind by a contemptible me-noose.
Karen: About that… You know, a lot of people would be proud of an "A-minus".
Diana: As well they should be. But I must hold myself to a higher standard.
Karen: Why?
Ash: Because you've gone crazy and are in the need of a psychiatrist?
Diana: Why? Well, you see, because I…
However, Diana seemed too nervous to tell her friends the truth!
Ash: Because what? Go on! You can tell us! That's what friends are for!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Diana: [doing squats] Time for squat cross, Shakespeare, and the recitation of the periodic table of elements. [doing pushups while reading a book] One, H, hydrogen.
Torchic: [getting Diana's attention] TORCHIC! TORCH!
Diana: [while doing pushups] Yes, Torchic?
Torchic: [tries to use Flamethrower] TOR…CHIC!
Once again, it could only muster a small flame!
Diana: [sighs] Listen, Torchic! I appreciate you wanting to show me that you are strong, [rubs its head] but you just can't learn any other Fire type moves! You're just not ready! Now if you'll excuse me, I must get back to my studies! [reading a book while doing pushups] Two, H, Helium.
Torchic: [frustrated] TOR…
Chimchar: [pats Torchic's back in comfort] CHIMCHAR!
Ash and his friends were at Sweet Justice discussing the situation!
Jessica: Guys, I'm really worried about Diana.
Zee: Me too. She is in a total overdrive.
Ash: Yeah! I'm really worried about her!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!
Chloe: What can we do though?
Kara: Don't worry. I got a plan to get our Diana back.
Goh: [raises an eyebrow] You have a plan?
Ash: Does it involve taking Diana to see a psychiatrist?
Kara: Nope. Even better. [knocks the sundae away] [takes out the fruits] We trash these things.
Chloe: Hey, Kara! I was eating that sundae!
Eevee: [pouts] EEVEE VEE!
Serena: Kara, did you steal Diana's magical fruit?!
Kara: Kinda had to!
Goh: And basically, your idea is to get rid of these somehow?
Kara: Pretty much!
Babs: [takes one of the fruits] Hmm. Are we sure that's the answer? These look harmless [eyes sparkle] and kind of delicious.
Goh: Babs! Don't even think about it!
Cinderace: CINDERACE!
Babs: Eh, you worry too much, Goh! [to Grookey] [as she gives it a fruit] Here, Grookey!
Grookey: [happily takes the fruit] GROOKEY!
Goh: [takes it away from Grookey] Oh no you don't! No Pokémon of mine is gonna go cuckoo like Diana has been!
Cinderace: CINDERACE!
Grookey: [pouts] GROOKEY!
Jessica: [as Babs is about to eat the fruit] Uh, Babs, I wouldn't eat–
But it was too late! She already took a bite out of the fruit!
Babs: [chomps]
Suddenly, her eyes widened!
Goh: Uh oh! Too late!
Zee: Babs? Are we okay?
Sylveon: SYLVE?
Babs: [grins] Okay? Yes. [nods] Very okay. Are you guys okay? After all, I'm sitting here watching you bounce all over, unless, of course…
Babs began to bounce all over the walls! Literally!
Babs: You're sitting over there and I'm bouncing all over… [bounces around] which come to think of it, makes way more sense! [bounces around all over the place]
Ash: [gasps] She's bouncing all over the place!
Pikachu: [shocked] PIKA!
Lucario: [shocked] MRAH?!
Serena: And I thought it was just a figure of speech!
Chloe: I think Babs has gone Daffy!
Ritchie: For sure! I think she's finally lost it!
Pikachu (Sparky): PIKA PI!
Karen: The fruit's not the problem, guys.
Babs: [bouncing around] [whooping]
Buttercup: Not the problem, huh, stripes?
Karen: Well, not the whole problem. We need to get rid of that chart.
Ash: The chart?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Chloe: Of course! The chart! That must be why she's like this!
Eevee: EEVEE!
Babs: Of course. That makes total sense. Diana is subconsciously using the chart as a way to keep her mind preoccupied in order to avoid having to think about her self-perceived failure. The "A-minus" or me-noose, as she so adorably puts it, it's a classic denial tactic. Side note, the "A" in Babs on my report card was in Psychology! Wazzup!
However, she seemed to be hanging upside down from a ceiling lamp.
Zee: Uh, Babs, honey, you can come down now.
Ash: Yeah! Before the blood rushes to your head!
And she flopped to the floor with a goofy smile on her face!
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [facepalms] ROC!
Kara: Okay, so here's the plan. We swipe Karen's stupid to-do list while Diana's not looking.
Jessica: Kara, Diana's the most rational among us. [as Babs starts sneaking the fruit away from the table] If we share our concerns with her with both love and respect, I'm sure she'll hand over the chart willingly.
Goh: And if she doesn't?
Ash: We'll figure out something, Goh! Don't worry!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
However...
Diana: I will hand over no such thing! [hissing like a cat]
Serena: EEP!
Chloe: Diana! You're not a cat!
Eevee: EEVEE!
Ash: Diana, you have to stop this! That chart has completely taken over you!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!
Torchic: [agreeing] TORCHIC TORCH! [trying to show her Flamethrower] TOR...CHIC!
Diana: Torchic! Enough of this nonsense! You cannot use Flamethrower! You won't be able to learn Flamethrower and it will never come to be! Now, stick to the moves you already know and nothing else!
Torchic: [gasps] TORCH! [frustrated and in tears] TOR... [jumps up and uses Scratch on Diana's face] TORCHIC! [saying "You're a brute!"] TORCHIC TORCH! [runs out of the base through the back door's doggie door, crying]
Ash: Torchic, wait!
Pikachu: [worried] PIKA PI!
Ash was about to go after Torchic when...
Zee: [stops Ash] I think it's best we give Torchic some space to vent!
Ash: But Zee...
Zee: [hugs him] I know you're trying to help, but maybe Torchic just wants to be alone for awhile!
Ash: [nods] Hm. You're right, Zee.
Chimchar: [worried] CHIMCHAR CHIM...
Blossom: Don't worry, Chimchar! Your little buddy will be okay! Just needs to vent for awhile!
Bubbles: That's right!
Chimchar: [worried] CHIM...
Goh: [to Jessica] Still think she's rational?!
Jessica: Okay, she's a bit more obstinate than I thought, but there's one technique… Quick! Karen, swipe your stupid to-do list while she's not looking!
But Diana sprang into action and cornered Karen at her side of the base! But just as Diana was about to grab it from her Jessica grabbed it with a green constructed hand and made a run for it with Goh and Cinderace beside her while their legs were moving in a 360° rotation while Wonder Woman gave chase! And the chase was on! Green Lantern then tossed it to Batgirl and she and Chloe were playing keep away!
Batgirl: So, first off, sorry about this. Quick question. Does eating the fruit always leave this weird after taste? It's like something in between smoked hickory, the color mauve and time itself.
Chloe: I don't think that's relevant, Bats!
Wonder Woman: Give me what is rightfully mine!
Aura Guardian: [snags it] You can have it, if you can guess which one it is! Do your thing, Zatanna!
Zatanna: [speaks incantation, making four duplicates]
Aura Guardian: A genius as always, Zatanna!
Zatanna: [blushes] Thanks, hun! [blows Ash a kiss]
But Wonder Woman managed to figure out which one it was by using her sword!
Zatanna: I am so taking that spell out of the rotation!
She then passed it to Supergirl and the Powerpuff Girls, two of which were nervous! She then charged at them like a bull, but then, with redirection from Bumblebee, Supergirl tossed it to her and was about to drop it into the garbage truck!
Wonder Woman: This has gone on long enough, Karen!
Aura Guardian: Diana, STOP!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Wonder Woman: Stay out of this, Aura Guardian! This is my battle!
Aura Guardian: I'm sorry, Diana! I can't! I'm really worried about you!
Wonder Woman then stopped!
Bumblebee: Diana, I'm sorry. I thought this chart would help you see that in the big picture, getting a dumb minus isn't a big deal. I mean, look at what you're doing to yourself, to us, and why? Because you can't accept that something you did wasn't perfect?
That made Diana turn away from Bumblebee!
Bumblebee: You know, since we met, I've made a lot of mistakes. But you're always the first to tell me that it's okay. Now, after all this, I finally realized that no one has ever said the same is okay for you. So I'm doing it right now. Diana, it's okay not to be perfect. Because no matter what, you're still an amazing hero, leader, student and, most importantly, friend.
Aura Guardian: That's right! And we all care about you! You don't have to change anything for us to respect you! We love you just the way you are!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Wonder Woman was touched by this and started to cry, but then she looked at all her friends and wiped away the tears!
Wonder Woman: [hugs Bumblebee] Thank you, Karen.
The Amazonian Princess then turned to Ash with an apologetic look on her face.
Wonder Woman: And Ash! I'm sorry for not acting like myself! Maybe I was acting a little cuckoo in the head!
Aura Guardian: Yeah! If you kept that up, you'd replace the cuckoo bird from a cereal ad!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Wonder Woman: [chuckles]
Aura Guardian: [chuckles]
Then, Wonder Woman did something she never did before! She kissed Ash passionately on the lips, much to his surprise!
Aura Guardian: [surprised and shocked] MPH?!
Pikachu: [shocked] PIKA?!
Bumblebee: [gasps]
The rest of the Superhero Girls: [gasps]
Chloe: [gasps]
Goh: GAH!
Cinderace: CINDER?!
Blossom: [gasps] I did not see that coming!
Bubbles: Me neither! But that's so beautiful!
Buttercup: [gags]
After Aura Guardian and Wonder Woman released, Ash had a huge blush on his face!
Aura Guardian: [blushing hard] D-D-Diana?!
Wonder Woman: I know! That was unexpected! But I had a good reason for doing so! Ash, I love you!
Aura Guardian: YOU LOVE ME?!
Pikachu: PIKA?!
Wonder Woman: Yes! I do!
Green Lantern (Jessica): Wait! I thought you had feelings for Steve?
Goh, Chloe, the Powerpuff Girls Z, and the rest of the Superhero Girls: Yeah!
Wonder Woman: I did at first! But overtime, he did not take notice of me! So, when I told Clover a couple of days ago, [as a thought bubble appears] she told me this!
Clover (thought bubble flashback): If the boy you're interested in doesn't notice you, just move on from him and find a different boy you like!
[thought bubble pops]
Wonder Woman: And well, it made me think of you, Ash, and how we first met! Remember?
Aura Guardian: Yeah! Of course, I do! I saved your life before you got hurt!
Wonder Woman: And it made me eternally grateful and happy! I was thinking of ways I could express my gratitude to you since then, but I didn't have the courage to! That, and I did not wish to upset Zatanna in any way! But now, I finally have the chance to tell you how I feel! That is, if you accept my feelings towards you?
Aura Guardian: [smiles] Diana, of course I do!
That made Diana very happy!
Aura Guardian: Just like Zee and Serena, I think you're very beautiful!
Wonder Woman: Thank you, Ash!
Then, she smashed her lips onto Ash's! Then, they started to make out!
Buttercup: [gags] Gross!
Blossom: Don't ruin the moment, Buttercup!
Soon, Ash and Diana released.
Aura Guardian: I love you, Diana!
Wonder Woman: [hugs him as he hugs back] I love you too, Ash!
Bumblebee: [gives Wonder Woman the chart] I think you know what to do with this.
Wonder Woman took the chart and tossed it into the garbage truck! Then, all 15 heroes pulled the lever!
Wonder Woman: Thank you, sisters and brothers. Never again shall I let any me-noose come in between us.
They all did a big group hug, but then they smelled something foul!
Serena: [holds her nose] Gross!
Zee: Uh, guys? Any chance we could move this end-of-a-hard-learned-lesson hug a few feet upwind?
Bubbles: I think I second the notion!
As they moved away from the garbage truck, Kara's dog, Krypto, came out of the dumpster, covered in sardines!
Krypto: [yelps] [licks himself] [barks] [dives into the trash]
Chloe: [gags] [turns green] I think I'm gonna be sick!
Eevee: [disgusted] [gags] [turns green] EEVEE!
Zatanna: [hugs Ash] Another crisis solved, honey bunch!
Aura Guardian: Well, almost! We still gotta find Torchic so Diana could apologize to it!
Wonder Woman: [gasps] Torchic! [places her hands on her face] Oh, I feel so ashamed for how poorly I treated it.
Aura Guardian: Don't worry, Diana! We all make mistakes! And that's how we learn from them! Now, come on! Let's go find Torchic!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Everyone except Aura Guardian: Yeah!
And off they went!
Torchic: [shooting fire at training dummies] TOR! TOR! TORCHIC!
That burnt the dummies!
Torchic: [sighs] TORCH!
Wonder Woman: [off-screen] Torchic?
Torchic: TORCH?
Wonder Woman: There you are!
Torchic: [angry with tears] TORCHIC! [runs off] TORCH!
Wonder Woman: Torchic, wait!
Goh: Quick! After it!
And they gave chase! Soon, they arrived at the park!
Torchic: [panting] CHIC! CHIC! TORCHIC!
Torchic then stopped!
Wonder Woman: Torchic!
Torchic: [angry] TORCHIC!
Wonder Woman: Torchic! I wanted to apologize for how poorly I treated you!
Torchic: TOR?
Wonder Woman: I should have been acknowledged the fact that you needed help learning a new move! And I want to say... I'm sorry!
Torchic: [looks down] TORCH…
Wonder Woman: Can you ever forgive me, Torchic?
Torchic: [saying it forgives her, but not fully] TORCHIC TORCH! TORCHIC TORCHIC!
Bubbles: Torchic is saying it forgives you, Diana, but not fully!
Diana: I will do anything and everything in my power to make it up to you, Torchic!
Lucario: [senses something] [gasps] MRAH!
Then, two mechanical claws shot out from out of nowhere and grabbed Pikachu and Torchic!
Pikachu: [scared] PIKA!
Torchic: [scared] TOR!
Aura Guardian: Pikachu!
Wonder Woman: Torchic!
Goh: What was that?!
Then, they saw...
Buttercup: You guys again?!
[And cue the Unova motto]
Jessie: "Again" is the question? So twerpish indeed!
James: The answer to come as we feel the need!
Jessie: Bringing the blinding white light of evil into the future!
James: Thrusting the hammer of justice down onto the black darkness of the universe!
Meowth: And carving our names in the Rock of Eternity!
Jessie: The fiery destroyer, Jessie!
James: And with thunderous emotion, I am James!
Meowth: Wisest of the wise, Meowth!
Team Rocket: Now gather under the name of Team Rocket!
Wobbuffet: WOBBUFFET!
[End of motto]
Aura Guardian: Team Rocket!
Wonder Woman: Relinquish our Pokémon this instant, Team Rocket!
Jessie: [sticks her eyelid at her] NYAH! Dream on, twerpette!
James: These Pokémon are now a part of Team-
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [faces Team Rocket] ROC!
Meowth: YIPES!
James: The bat twerpette's Lycanroc!
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [saying their stupid invention couldn't hit him if it tried] LYCANROC LYCANROC ROC!
Meowth: Oh yeah?!
James: Translation, old chum?
Meowth: It's saying our stupid invention couldn't hit it if it tried!
Wobbuffet: WOBBUFFET!
Jessie: Oh really?! Fire at will!
But when they fired…
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [grabs the claw] ROC!
Team Rocket: EH?!
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [gives it one hard pull] RRRRRRROC!
Ace Jr. managed to destroy the claw!
Team Rocket: [screams]
Pikachu: [freed] PIKACHU!
Torchic: [freed] TORCHIC!
Aura Guardian: [hugs Pikachu] Pikachu!
Wonder Woman: [hugs Torchic] Torchic!
Pikachu: [happy] PIKACHU!
Torchic: [happy] TORCHIC!
Batgirl: [pets Ace Jr.] Good job, AJ!
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [proud] LYCANROC!
Jessie: Don't celebrate yet, twerps! [as she pulls out the magical fruit] We still have these!
Wonder Woman: [gasps] The Mystical Fruit of Hermes?! How did you get your vile hands on them?!
Jessie: You should know never to leave your food lying around like that!
James: We figured out the powers of this fruit and we will do more than we could ever do!
Meowth: We'll be able to swipe all of the Pokémon from all over the world in about one full day!
Wobbuffet: WOBBUFFET!
Aura Guardian: Yeah! And have yourselves go see a psychiatrist in the process!
Batgirl: Plus it has a weird aftertaste!
Jessie: Well, we don't care!
Batgirl: But I had them on me!
Meowth: Moots to you, batbrain! You had a leaky pocket!
Wobbuffet: WOBBUFFET!
Jessie: In other words, those fruits fell out as you were having your little chase scene!
Batgirl: [facepalms] Doh!
Goh: [annoyed] Batgirl!
Jessie: And now...
Jessie and James: [throwing their arms up in the air] Come on down!
Pelipper: [singing] PELIP PELIPPER! [drops the Rocket Prize Master]
[thud]
Meowth: [leaps into the air] Charms away! [somersaults then sticks his head in the coin slot]
Jessie: Our secret...
James: [as he turns the crank] Rocket Prize...
Jessie and James: Master!
Meowth: [as his fur stands on end] Yahooey!
And out came two PokéBalls!
Jessie and James: [tossing the PokéBalls] What've we got today?
Two Pokémon appeared with cards!
James: The Tadpole Pokémon, Poliwrath!
Poliwrath: POLIWRATH!
Jessie: The Snapping Pokémon, Chewtle!
Chewtle: CHEWTLE!
Exclamation point!
Supergirl: Wait! They have a Chewtle too?!
Green Lantern (Jessica): [as she pulls out her Rotom Phone] And what's that Pokémon supposed to be?
Jessica's Rotom Phone: Poliwrath, the Tadpole Pokémon. A Water and Fighting type. Poliwrath is skilled at both swimming and martial arts. It uses its well-trained arms to dish out powerful punches.
Green Lantern (Jessica): That thing doesn't even look like an actual tadpole or a polliwog for that matter!
Aura Guardian: Let's do this, everyone!
Pikachu: [determined] PIKACHU!
Everyone except Aura Guardian: Yeah!
Jessie: Ah! But here's where the real fun begins!
Jessie and James: [as they toss the magical fruit to Poliwrath and Chewtle] Magical fruit power up!
Wonder Woman: NO!
Then, the two Pokémon ate the fruit and they gained more power!
Poliwrath: [flexing] POLIWRATH!
Chewtle: [chomping] CHEW! CHEWTLE!
James: Now, to test it! Poliwrath, use Dynamic Punch!
Poliwrath: [Dynamic Punch move] POLI...WRATH!
When it punched the ground in front of our heroes, they were blown back!
Wonder Woman: [blown back] [grunts]
Aura Guardian: [catches her in his arms] I've got you!
Wonder Woman: Thank you!
Goh: That fruit must give Pokémon a boost in power!
Cinderace: CINDERACE!
Aura Guardian: Then, we'll just have to counterattack! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!
Pikachu: [jumps up] PIKA! [Thunderbolt move] PIKACHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Poliwrath: [pained] WRATH!
Wonder Woman: Excellent work, my love! [takes out a PokéBall] If they wish to use Water types, then I shall use-
Torchic: [steps in front] [determined] TORCHIC!
Wonder Woman: Huh? Torchic?
Torchic: [determined] TORCHIC TOR!
Wonder Woman: You wish to battle?
Torchic: [nods] TOR!
Chloe: Wonder Woman, using a Fire type against a Water type is not a good idea! Two for that matter!
Torchic: [saying it can do this] TORCHIC TORCH!
Aura Guardian: Torchic says it can do this!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Wonder Woman: Very well then! Torchic, to battle!
Torchic: [determined] TORCHIC!
Zatanna: And since Poliwrath is a Fighting type! Let's do this, my dear Sylveon!
Sylveon: [determined] VEON!
Aura Guardian: [smiles determinedly] Ready, Pikachu?
Pikachu: [determined] PIKA!
Blossom: Us too!
Chimchar: [determined] CHIMCHAR!
Blossom: Sorry, Chimchar! You'll have to sit this one out!
Chimchar: CHIM?! [disappointed] CHAR!
Blossom: Sorry, Chimchar! You know Fire types don't do well against Water types! [takes out a PokéBall] Which is why I'm gonna use [tosses it] Lickitung!
Lickitung: [appearing] TUNG!
Bumblebee: [as she pulls out her Rotom Phone] Who's that Pokémon?
Karen's Rotom Phone: Lickitung, the Licking Pokémon. A Normal type. Its tongue is twice the length of its body. It can be moved like an arm for grabbing food and attacking.
Bubbles: [tosses PokéBall] And now, here's my Pokémon!
Marill: [appearing] MARILL MAR!
Batgirl: Oh my gosh! [as she pulls out her Rotom Phone] Adorable!
Babs' Rotom Phone: Marill, the Aqua Mouse Pokémon. A Water and Fairy type. Marill's oil-filled tail acts much like a life preserver. If you see just its tail bobbing on the water's surface, it's a sure indication that this Pokémon is diving beneath the water to feed on aquatic plants.
Batgirl: So cute!
Buttercup: As for me, I'm sticking with my partner! [to Treecko, who was already out] Treecko, get in there!
Treecko: [determined] [jumps in front] TREECKO!
James: This battle will be a breeze! Right, Jessie?
But he didn't get a response because Jessie had gone pale at the sight of Blossom's Lickitung!
James: Jessie?
Meowth: Uh oh! I'm getting a strange feeling of déjà vu!
James: What are you talking about, Meowth?
Meowth: See for yourself!
Jessie: Lickitung! [livid] LICKITUNG!
Lickitung: TUNG?
Jessie: [angry] Those abominations are a disgrace! I always end up getting its slimy slop all over me even after I wash myself off!
Blossom: [angry] Hey! My Lickitung's not a disgrace! You're the one that's a disgrace!
Jessie: Oh yeah?! Well, I'll wipe you and that Lickitung off the face of the Earth! Now, Chewtle! Water Gun!
Chewtle: [Water Gun move] CHEW...TLE!
Blossom: Lickitung, Defense Curl, followed by Rollout!
Lickitung: [Defense Curl move] LICKITUNG! [Rollout move] LICK...ITUNG!
Chewtle: [pained] CHEWTLE!
James: Poliwrath, use Water Pulse!
Poliwrath: [Water Pulse move] POLI…WRATH!
But due to Lickitung's thick layer of skin, it bounced right off and the Rollout made contact with Poliwrath!
Poliwrath: [pained] WRATH!
Lickitung came back over to Blossom.
Blossom: Nice work, Lickitung!
Lickitung: LICKI LICK!
Wonder Woman: Torchic, go on the attack with Scratch!
Torchic: [Scratch move] TORCHIC!
Chewtle: [pained] CHEW!
Wonder Woman: Now, use...
Torchic: [Flamethrower move] TOR...CHIC!
Chewtle: [pained] CHEWTLE!
Aura Guardian: That was Flamethrower! Torchic must've mastered it while it was on its own!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Wonder Woman: Excellent work, young Torchic!
Torchic: [proud] TORCH! [glows white]
Wonder Woman: [gasps] Torchic?!
Aura Guardian: I think your young Torchic is evolving!
And he was right! And when the process was complete, in Torchic's place was...
Combusken: COM…BUSKEN!
Aura Guardian: It evolved into Combusken!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Wonder Woman: [gasps] [pulls out her Rotom Phone]
Diana's Rotom Phone: Combusken has been registered to your Pokédex! Combusken, the Young Fowl Pokémon. A Fire and Fighting type, and the evolved form of Torchic. Combusken battles with the intensely hot flames it spews from its beak and with outstandingly destructive kicks. This Pokémon's cry is very loud and distracting.
Wonder Woman shed a tear of joy at the sight of her newly evolved Pokémon!
Combusken: [Fire Spin move] COM...BUSKEN!
Poliwrath: [pained] WRATH!
Aura Guardian: That was Fire Spin!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Wonder Woman: Incredible! Now, Combusken! Flamethrower!
Combusken: [Flamethrower move] COM...BUSKEN!
Poliwrath: [pained] WRATH!
Buttercup: Treecko, fire at their Chewtle with Bullet Seed!
Treecko: [Bullet Seed move] TREE...CKO!
Chewtle: [pained] CHEWTLE! [falls in defeat] CHEWTLE...
Jessie: Oh no!
James: Oh yeah?! Poliwrath, fire at that irritating Treecko with Hydro Pump!
Buttercup: Treecko, no!
Bubbles: Marill, use Play Rough!
Marill: [Play Rough move] MARILL!
Poliwrath: [hit] POL POL POL POLI POLI!
James: Oh no!
Buttercup: Treecko, can you still go on?
Treecko: [affirmative, weak] KO! [yells] TREE... [starts to blow white] CKO!
Buttercup: Treecko?!
Aura Guardian: Treecko's evolving!
And he was right! And when the process was complete, in its place was...
Grovyle: GRO! GROVYLE!
Aura Guardian: It's Grovyle!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Blossom: Whoa! No way! [pulls out her Pokédex]
Blossom's Pokédex: Grovyle, the Wood Gecko Pokémon. The evolved form of Treecko. It leaps from tree branch to tree branch quite swiftly. It shows astounding agility.
Blossom: That's pretty cool!
Buttercup: Awesome! 'Kay, Grovyle! Fire at will with Bullet Seed!
Grovyle: [Bullet Seed move] GRO…VYLE!
Poliwrath: [pained] WRATH!
Buttercup: Now use…
Grovyle: [Leaf Blade move] GRO…VYLE!
Poliwrath: [pained] WRATH!
Aura Guardian: It learned Leaf Blade!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Buttercup: Alright! Do it again, Grovyle! But with some more oomph!
Grovyle: [nods] GRO! [Leaf Blade move] GRO…VYLE!
Poliwrath: [pained] POLI!
James: Oh yeah?! Poliwrath, Water Gun!
Poliwrath: [Water Gun move] POLI…WRATH!
Buttercup: Dodge it!
Grovyle: [dodges] GRO!
Wonder Woman: Combusken, use Double Kick!
Combusken: [Double Kick move] COM…BUSK! BUSK!
Poliwrath: [pained] WRATH!
Aura Guardian: Pikachu, use Quick Attack!
Pikachu: [Quick Attack move] PIKA!
Aura Guardian: Now use Iron Tail!
Pikachu: [Iron Tail move] CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...PIKA!
Poliwrath: [pained] WRATH!
James: Use Dynamic Punch!
Poliwrath: [Dynamic Punch move] POLI…
Zatanna: No you don't! Sylveon, use Attract! [blows a kiss] Mwah!
Sylveon: [Attract move] [winks] [sends hearts over] SYLVEON!
Poliwrath: POLI?
The hearts went over to Poliwrath! And then...
Poliwrath: [infatuated] [hearts in eyes] POLIWRATH!
James: Oh no!
Meowth: Poliwrath's gone all lovey dovey!
Blossom: Lickitung, use Power Whip!
Lickitung: [Power Whip move] LICKI!
Poliwrath: [pained] WRATH!
Aura Guardian: Time to finish this with a combo! [to Zatanna] Zatanna, you mind if Wonder Woman and I do this?
Zatanna: Not at all, honey bunch!
Aura Guardian: Awesome! [takes Wonder Woman's hand] [presses his cheek against her cheek] Ready, my beautiful warrior?
Wonder Woman: [nuzzles back] Always, my love!
Aura Guardian: Pikachu, Thunderbolt!
Wonder Woman: Combusken, Flamethrower!
Pikachu: [Thunderbolt move] PIKACHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Combusken: [Flamethrower move] COM...BUSKEN!
The attacks combining into a flaming Thunderbolt!
Team Rocket: [screams] [runs away while Jessie drops the fruit] Time to go!
But the attack made contact with the baddies and then...
[explosion]
Team Rocket: [being sent flying] WE'RE...BLASTING...OFF...AGAIN! [as Bewear catches them] Now, there's a newsflash...
Bewear: [singing] BEWEAR BEWEAR BEWEAR! BEWEAR!
[ding!]
Aura Guardian: [sweat drops] Just like last time!
Pikachu: [sweat drops] PIKACHU!
Wonder Woman: I might never understand what that bear sees in those vile fiends!
Aura Guardian: Well, anyway! Now that they're gone, let's head home!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Chloe: Two Pokémon evolving in one day! Not too shabby!
Buttercup: I'll say! Way to go, Grovyle!
Grovyle: [proud] GROVYLE!
Aura Guardian: [to Wonder Woman] You and Combusken did awesome, Diana!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Wonder Woman: Thank you, young Ash!
Then, Combusken started hugging Wonder Woman and nuzzles her with affection!
Combusken: COMBUSK!
Wonder Woman: Oh, Combusken!
She then hugged it back!
Wonder Woman: Does this mean you forgive me for being cruel towards you?
Combusken: [nods] BUSK!
Wonder Woman: Oh, Combusken! Come! Let us return home!
Then, she hugged Ash's arm!
Wonder Woman: Shall we, my love?
Aura Guardian: Yeah!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Zatanna: [hugs his other arm] And me too!
Serena: [hugs from behind] And me!
Zatanna: [hugs his other arm] And me too!
Serena: [hugs from behind] And me!
Zatanna: And Diana! I'll be sure to give you some lessons in the ways of showing Ashykins some true affection!
Wonder Woman: Many thanks, Zee! Although, I may know a quite a bit already!
Zatanna: Oh?
Then, she kissed Ash on the lips and began making out with him!
Goh: GAH!
Then, they separated and Ash and Diana looked at each other with half-lidded eyes!
Aura Guardian: I love you, Diana! I'm glad I met you!
Wonder Woman: As am I, my love!
Aura Guardian: [chuckles] [to Zatanna and Serena] I'm glad I met you as well, Zee and Serena!
Zatanna: Us too, Ashykins!
Serena: Agreed!
Then, they gave Ash a double cheek kiss! And Diana kissed Ash on the forehead!
Aura Guardian: [blushes] [giggles]
Unfezant: [flies by] UNFEZANT!
Goh: [gasps] An Unfezant! [runs after it with his legs going in a 360° rotation] Come back here, Unfezant!
Chloe: [embarrassed] Goh!
Everyone except Chloe: [laughing]
[Recap Time]
Jessica: It's recap time!
Ash: Hey, girls! Who'd'ya meet today?
[as Pokémon cards were placed in a binder]
Diana: Poliwrath, Lickitung, Marill, and Combusken!
[as the screen shows Combusken]
Ash: Combusken is a Fire and Fighting type and is the second stage of the Torchic evolution line!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Goh: And soon, it will evolve into Blaziken, the Blaze Pokémon!
Combusken: [determined] COMB COMBUSK!
Diana: Soon, I will have the same Pokémon as young May! [pulls out the magical fruit] And we will need this to help you!
Combusken: BUSK?! [waving its arms back and forth and shaking its head no] KEN KEN KEN!
Ash: Sorry, Diana! But I don't think Combusken wants to get stronger with magical fruit!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Diana: Understandable! I don't want to make the same mistake twice with my Combusken!
Combusken: [sighs in relief] COMBUSK!
Wonder Woman: Instead, we shall train together!
Combusken: [raises its talon/fist determinedly] COMBUSKEN!
Ash: That's the spirit, Diana! Not only are you super beautiful, you're super awesome at training too!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Diana: Thank you, my love! [kisses Ash on the lips and begins to make out with him]
Then, they fell onto a bed with curtains and Diana pulled them shut and placed a sign outside the curtains that says "See you next time!" on it and flowers surround the screen for love blooming!
