"Our next guest tonight," the host said, sitting back down, "Is the protagonist of the famous series, Pokémon, Red!"
Red (also known as Pokémon Trainer) came out and sat down.
"Now, Red," the host began, "Do you really think you deserve to be a smasher?"
"If the creators say so," Red replied.
"But you never really battle," the host pointed out, "You always just sent out Pokémon to fight for you."
"So?"
"So," the host said, "Aren't smashers supposed to fight?"
"Well," Red said, "Olimar sends pikmin out to fight for him!"
"Yeah, but after their through, he fights himself," the host said.
"Well…"
"And don't you think you put your Pokémon through enough without having to humiliate them by you getting credit for their victories?"
"But…"
"Don't you think it's cowardly of you to send your Pokémon to fight in smasher battles for you while you stand to the side line?"
"Maybe, but…"
"Face it! You send your servants to fight for you, even in smasher battles!"
"You're making me mad!"
"What' you going to do? I have Earl remember?"
"Charzard! Go!"
Upon Charzard escaping his poke ball, he saw the host and smiled as he exclaimed, "Alex!"
"Charlie!" the host said as he put a hand on his friend's shoulder.
"You know each other?!" Red demanded.
"Charlie and I go back a long way…" The host explained.
"Charzard! As your commander, master and owner, I order you to attack him!"
Charlie breathed fire at Red, who was burned black like in cartoons. Red coughed up smoke and brought out his other two poke balls.
"Squirtle! Ivysaur! Attack!"
Squirtle and Ivysaur came out and said, similar to Charlie, "Alex!"
"Ivy! Squirt!" the host exclaimed as the Pokémon came over to him as well.
Red's mouth hung wide open. All three of his Pokémon were friends with his new enemy. He snuffed snobbishly and walked away, grumbling and dropping his poke balls.
Sorry, I would have had this up yesterday, but I was doing yard work all morning and then went shopping. Plus, Lucas and I got Lego Indiana Jones and I spent all day playing it (with him some of the time) and I just completed Last Crusade.
