Quickie #9: I'm Game If You Are or... Bored Game Night
Announcer:
"Looks like our favorite trio is heading back to a very familiar
city, Cerulean City. Why? Oh I'm sure there's a good reason...
"ASH!"
Misty yelled, "We're DEFINATELY lost now..."
Ash
looked at Misty innocently, "Now Misty, we're definitely not
lost, we're in Cerulean City! You should know that!"
Misty
growled, "Yeah, peachy, except we were TRYING to get to
Goldenrod City. You didn't just miss by a town... you missed by a
whole damned country!"
Ash
looked carefully at the map, then turned it upside-down, then stared
at it a bit, "Nope... I still cant make heads or tails of this
thing..." Ash crumpled up the map and tossed it away, "Well
that tears it, that's the last time I buy a map from an ENRON yard
sale... no direction at all..."
"Grrrrrrr..."
Misty growled again, "Damnit Ash, first off, we are NEVER
letting you lead the group again, and second, lets try not to use
such dated jokes..., right Brock?"
But Brock didn't hear
a word, he was too busy singing along with his headphones, "Who
let the dogs out? Who? Who Who Who Who? Who let the dogs out? Who?
Who Who Who?"
Ash stuck out his tongue in disgust,
"...and speaking of dated..."
"Actually its not
hard to see WHY he's not dated." Misty replied.
"I
heard that..." Brock said taking off his headphones, "If
you got something to say to me you prissy little bitc..."
Ash
quickly stepped in, and interrupted, "Alright guys... We're all
a little testy from traveling so long..."
The
two nodded and sighed, "Your right, your right." Brock
admitted, "I think a good night sleep will do us a load of
good."
"Great!" Ash said, "There's a
pokemon center just a few blocks from here."
"Did
you get that from the map?" Misty asked, "Cause if you did
we'll be lucky we don't wind up in New Jersey... And I don't want to
go THERE again..."
***SCENE
CHANGE TO...
Ash
Misty and Brock when they visited New Jersey a few years ago.
The
three stand there, sniffing in the air. After a minute Ash asks,
"Umm, guys? Do you smell that?"
Brock nods and sniff
and says, "What the hell is that?"
***SCENE CHANGE BACK TO MAIN STORY
"Besides," Misty said as she noticed Ash was getting annoyed, "Why would we stay at a pokemon center? I LIVE here, we can just stay at my house!"
"That's
a good idea!" Brock said excitedly.
"Yeah,"
Misty continued, then looked at Brock and said, "ESPECIALLY
since my sisters are out of town, so they wont have to deal with YOU
ogling them!"
"What?" Brock said, "That's
ridiculous!"
"Ridiculous?" Misty scoffed,
"Don't you remember the LAST time we stayed at my house?"
***FLASHBACK
TO THE LAST TIME THEY STAYED AT MISTY'S HOUSE...
Daisy,
(Misty's sister in case you don't remember) is laying on her bed and
Brock walks in completely naked and sopping wet. "I was just
taking a shower, and I just noticed there's room enough for two in
there."
Daisy just stares in shock, opened mouthed.
Brock
grins looking at her face and asks, "Is that an offer?"
Daisy
shrieks.
***SCENE CHANGE BACK TO MAIN STORY...
"Oh
sure," Brock complained, "Single me out... like that hasn't
happened to everyone else!"
"Umm guys," Ash
said, "Maybe we should get going... I think we'll all feel
better once we get to sit and relax for the night..."
"Pika!"
Pikachu chimed in.
"See?"
Ash said, "Pikachu agrees!"
"Pikachu pika pika
chu pikachu pika!" (Translation: No, I just haven't had a line
yet in this freaking episode, and had to say something damnit!)
***TWO HOURS LATER...
Spirits
are much better among our trio, and they are lounging around just
enjoying a bit of R and R. Brock is laying on the couch reading an
article, then he calls out to Misty and Ash who are sitting watching
TV, "Hey guys, you read this article in pokemon magazine?"
Ash
shakes his head, "What's it about?"
"It seems
like they discovered that Hannibal Lecter was a huge pokemon
lover..."
"Really?" Misty asked, "He
doesn't seem the type."
"Yeah... apparently he loves
them over rice..."
There's a moment of silence. Then
Misty and Ash turned their heads back to the TV.
"Nothing?"
Brock asked looking for laughs.
"Nah."
Ash and Misty responded.
"Hmmph." Brock said, going
back to the magazine, "Everyone's a critic."
About
fifteen minutes later Misty spoke up. "This show kinda sucks."
"Yeah," Ash agreed, "There's nothing good on TV anymore..."
There's
a painful pause of silence then Ash and turns and looks at the
viewers and continues, "Except, of course, Japanese cartoons...
they still rock! AND... they don't contain subliminal messages to
prepare for the great conquering..."
Brock nudged Ash in
the chest, and made a "shhhh" noise with his finger. Ash
nodded.
Misty
turned off the TV. "Well, since TV sucks..."
"...except,
of course, cartoons." Ash added.
"Yes, thank you," Misty finished, "We could always play a boardgame, I have a whole closet full of games."
Misty headed out of the living room and upstairs.
"That
could be fun..." Ash commented.
"...or
a segway for a string of jokes." Brock replied.
"Either
way, its all good." Ash replied.
Misty
quickly returned, her arms full of boardgame boxes. "Alright, I
didn't know which one we should play, so I just took them
all."
"Fair deal," Brock asked, "so which
ones do you have?"
"Lets
see here..." Misty said going through her pile, "Well, we
can play Twister!" Misty then looks over at a smiling Brock and
amends what she said, "On second thought... never mind."
Misty
rummaged a bit more and picked up a box. "How about we play
Monopoly?"
Suddenly the front door bursts open. In walks
Bill Gates who walks in, grabs the box away from Misty, and leaves.
There's
stunned silence. Ash finally says, "Well... that was
unexpected."
Misty goes back to the boxes, "Well,
how about Clue?"
Ash takes the box and looks at it and
groans, "Oh no... its one of those 'theme' versions."
"Which
theme?" Brock asked.
"Clue:
'Who Killed Nicole Simpson?" Ash reads. He then opens the box
and asks, "Hey... why is OJ on all these cards?"
"Hm."
Misty says, "Must be a misprint."
Brock coughs and
says sarcastically, "Yeah... 'misprint'."
ANNOUNCER: "The opinions of this story do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the author and producers.... but come on... if you cant get your opinions from an online spoof of pokemon, where CAN you get your opinions?
Misty
picked up another box, "How about Trouble?"
"Its
FUN getting into Trouble!" Everyone yelled at once.
"...that was weird..." Brock said, "But its not ALWAYS fun getting into Trouble..."
***SCENE
CHANGE TO THE OLD DRAGNET ENDING...
ANNOUNCER: "Pikachu was arrested in Los Angeles, and will be tried by the State of California for the murder of Togepi. Evidence is still being planted... erm... retrieved, by the local law enforcements."
***SCENE CHANGE BACK TO MAIN STORY...
Misty
put the box back down, "On second thought, I don't want to play
anything with a 'pop-o-matic' bubble. The sexual innuendo practically
writes itself..."
Brock and Ash exchanged a glance
confused, and then shrugged.
Then
a box caught Ash's notice. "Hey! Let's play
Operation!"
"Oohhhhhh No." Misty said, "You
take that game WAY to seriously! Remember last time?"
***SCENE
CHANGE BACK TO THE LAST GAME OF OPERATION...
*BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...
Misty laughed, "Haha, Ash, you touched the
sides!"
"Damnit! He's flat-lining!!" Ash
yelled, and started pounding on the game's chest. "Breath
damnit! Breath!" Ash said nearly frantic, "I've never lost
a patient yet! Don't you give up on me!"
Misty and Brock
just stared opened mouthed. "Ummm... Ash?" Brock said, "Its
just a game..."
"How CALLIOUS can you be???"
Ash spit out, "How can you think of saving lives as a GAME? You
are not GOD my friend!"
Then Ash started to do mouth to
mouth to the boardgame...
*BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
Ash is sent backwards out cold by the electric shock of the game.
Brock
shook his head, "He takes this too literally..."
Misty
sighed and started packing up the game, "And you wonder why we
don't play 'Ants in the Pants'"
***SCENE CHANGE BACK TO THE MAIN STORY...
"Hmmm"
Ash says thinking hard, "I don't remember any of that..."
"We
could play Blind Date," Misty says opening a box, "Here's
the sunglasses, and here's the canes... oh shoot... the seeing eye
dogs aren't in the box!"
"Oh that's OK Misty,"
Ash replied, "I don't think we could afford any more problems
with the censors."
Misty
ignored Ash and opened another box, "What about, 'Don't Wake
Daddy'?"
But as Misty opened the box, the little daddy
figure opened its eyes and yelled at her, "What the hell you
think your doing you little bitch? I gotta get up early tomorrow
morning!"
Then the figure leaps out of the box and lands
on Misty's face and starts raining down blows. After much screaming,
squealing and cursing, Brock and Ash managed to yank the toy figure
off Misty and toss it back into the box.
"Fu-BLEEP-ing
toys." Misty cursed rubbing her forehead, "Its only like
that when it's out all night drinking at 'Tapper'."
"How
about we just play Scrabble?" Brock asks, holding up it's
box.
"Yeah... that seems safe enough,", Misty
agrees.
After getting set up Ash saw a perfect word to play.
"Here we go, K W Y G I B O, that's all 7 letters, for 50 points,
plus on a triple word score. That's over 150 points! Beat
that!"
Brock raised his eyebrow, "Kwygibo?"
"Yes, its a big dumb balding North American Ape."
Ash explained.
"Why you little!!!" Brock yelled out.
"Aye Caramba!" Ash gasped.
Misty just made a "Mmmmmh" noise.
Togepi made a "Suck - Suck" noise with its pacifier.
Pikachu lets out a loud "BurrrrrRRRRrrrrrpppppPPppp."
Gary
appears at the window, points in and says "Haw haw!"
Suddenly
Professor Oak appears at the door, arches his fingers and says,
"Exxxclent"
There's
a pause after all this. Finally Misty speaks up and says, "Can
we end this now?"
Ash nods and says, "Okiely
Dokely!"
"D'oh!" Brock barked out.
***THE
END***
"Good one guys!" Ash says.
"Yeah,
easy for you to say, " Gary says walking off, "I get two
words in this whole episode, and THEY were stolen from another
show!"
Professor Oak corrected, "Now now, they're
"borrowed"... stealing is such an ugly word!"
"Besides..." Ash said, "Your lucky! You weren't even suppose to do that line, that was suppose to be Meowth's... but for some reason they never showed up!"
Brock and Misty exchanged a glance and Brock said, "I wonder where they are?"
***SCENE CHANGE TO NEW JERSEY...
Jessie
looks quite aggravated, "James! You dummy! How could you get us
so lost?"
James shrugged, "I guess it was easy!
We'll just ask for directions, and we'll be back by the next episode!
Jessie
lets out a deep sigh, "Fine, alright, as long as we're here, who
wants to hit Atlantic City and do some gambling?"
"Sounds
good!" James agree, "Coming Meowth?"
*sniff
sniff* "Hey guys... do any of youse smell dat?" Meowth
asks.
*sniff sniff* Jessie and James, "Hmmm...."
...
...
...
***THE REAL END***
