Author's note: And here we are... Quickie #20! Hurray! For such a milestone as this, I figured an extra special quickie was in order. So I super-sized this one. I've been working on this one for a while now, so I hope you all enjoy, and I hope you'll all review to let me know what you think. If you're a fan of those old Looney Tunes "documentary" cartoons, (I used to love those) then I think you'll like this. If you weren't... meh, what the hell, you'll probably still like this. :-D Well, go and read this, and we'll talk again at the end. Enjoy!
Quickie 20: Mockumentary
Professor
Oak walks onto the screen and clears his throat. "Many of you
have clicked on this chapter in hopes that you were going to read
another zany episode of pokemon quickies. Well, tonight, Pokemon
Quickies have been preempted in order to present a documentary on the
ins and outs of the parental ratings system and genre selection on
fanfiction.net. I am sorry to disappoint you, but there will be no
wackiness, lewdness, or other cartoon references one usually
associates with Pokemon Quickies. This will be a serious, on the
level discussion."
Ash walks onto the screen wearing
nothing but Kim Possible underoos. Professor Oak just stares at him
for second, before he asks, "Ash! What in the hell are you
wearing?"
"Brand
new KP underoos, that show rocks!" Ash explained, "Wanna
see my grappling hook?"
Professor Oak winced and yelled,
"NO! Get out of here, get to the back and get dressed, we're
about to start!"
Suddenly Misty ran by half naked
screaming, "Brock brought bug pokemon in the back!!! Get them
out of there!!!"
Ash watches the half naked Misty run by,
then after a moment, we hear the Kimmuticator Beeping noise, "Beep
beep beep beep..."
Professor Oak looked at Ash for a
second and asked, "Do I want to know what caused that noise to
go off?"
Ash shook his head, "Probably
not..."
"Good, cause I didn't want to ask..."
The pokemon professor said trying to be patient, "now, would you
please get Misty and would you two please get ready... we are about
to start!!!"
Ash ran off camera and Professor Oak looks
back at the screen. "Alright, so there is no confusion, we are
going to set up situations as aids for you see the difference in
genres and ratings. Lets begin, shall we? ...is everyone ready?"
Voices from off screen: "YES!"
Oak
nodded and said, "Alright then, lets begin... lets start with a
normal 'general' theme for pokemon..."
Oak:
***START SCENE***
Ash
pointed to his long time rival Gary and cried out, "You've
insulted me for the last time, Gary, it's time once and for all for
us to see who's the better pokemon trainer!"
Gary scoffed
at Ash, "Please Ash... you're as weak a trainer as your pokemon
are... well, pokemon... weak that is... weak pokemon."
Oak: ***PAUSE SCENE***
Oak talks as everything else remains motionless, "Alright, as you see, so far this is a
*ding!* G rating,
"...and
will pretty much remain that way. Also, please note that with
fanfictions, long time story lines will come to a head. Lead
Villains vanquished, teased romances surfacing, or rivalries finally
coming to an end. A lot of times, authors will take explain
exposition from the show to help aid the understanding of the
situation.
Oak: ***CONTINUE SCENE***
Ash pointed to Gary and said, "Alright Gary, lets end this long time rivalry we've had going since the day we left Pallet Town, the town where we each were born and raised, to go onto our separate pokemon journeys."
Gary
nodded, and threw out his Arcinine, took a deep breath and said, "Go
Arcinine! Ash you don't stand a chance against my well bread fire
dog pokemon which i raised from a Growleth until it evolved into the
Arcinine you're looking at right now with your eyes filled with optic
nerves sending electrical impulses to the brain allowing you to see
the person who will defeat you in this pokemon battle."
Ash
nodded back, took a long deep breath and said, "Alright, my long
time rival Gary, I acknowledge how powerful a fire type pokemon you
have there, and normally i would use a water type pokemon against it
because water types have the advantage in these kinds of battles, but
Pikachu has been with me from the beginning when I woke up late the
morning we left on our adventure so I didn't get any of the three
normal starting pokemon from Professor Oak so I had to take a
misbehaving electrical mouse type which is called Pikachu who grew to
be very powerful and is my best friend and... *ERK!***
Ash
passes out from talking so long.
Oak: ***PAUSE SCENE***
"As
you can see, this tactic of sneaking exposition into your story is a
great idea to give readers with little information about the subject
your fanfiction is based on some insight to the show, book, game,
etc..." Oak lectured, "However... as you can see... it can
be overdone... from general, its very easy to take this into an
'action' fanfic."
Oak: ***CONTINUE SCENE***
"Pikachu,
THUDERBOLT!!!" Ash cried out. The yellow pokemon leapt up in
the air, screamed loudly as it let out a huge burst of electric which
tore up the ground as it raced to the Arcinine. The air howled with
power as the attack grew nearer.
"Arcinine! Flame
Thrower!!" Gary called out.
The fire pokemon opened its mouth and let out a huge blast of fire. Gary could feel the burning heat even as far away as he was. The two powerful attacked met each other and exploded in a blinding bright light. The air crackled with energy, and one could swear they could smell burning hotdogs. As the light dims we see both pokemon are bruised, but not beaten yet.
Oak: ***PAUSE SCENE***
Oak
walks to the pokemon as he says, "Did you notice how graphic the
violence was? Couldn't you feel the sheer power of the attacks?
This is what we call, action... of course, there are different levels
of action and violence... lets kick this scene up a notch."
Oak:
***BAM!!!***
The two pokemon stare at each other, then out of nowhere they pull out long staffs with a blade on each end. The two charge at each other, Arcinine now standing on its hind legs, and start swinging the weapons at one another. As they start, music starts to play... Star Trek Music to be exact. "Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dundundun..."
Arcinine
swings the blade downward and slashes the yellow pokemon, blood
starts pouring from its wound. "PIKA!" it cried out as it
rolled from the next attack.
Oak: ***PAUSE SCENE***
"Much more violent that time, right?" Oak asked, "Now we have blades and blood. That's what causes this fanfic to now get the parental rating of...
*ding!* PG
"We
have now moved out of the realm of cartoonish violence to bad sci fi
violence. Of course, there we can always increase the violence even
more... so lets kick it up one more notch..."
Oak:
***BAM!!!***
Pikachu rolls out of the way from the swinging blade, which impales itself in the ground. Pikachu, still bleeding rolls to its feet, and strangely in an accent says, "Pika a chu, pika pika chu!!!* (Say hello to my little friend!) and pulls out a machine gun, and opens fire.
The
bullets spray all over, drilling Arcinine. into the air where it
spirals as the bullets riddle it. It howls in pain.
Oak:
***PAUSE SCENE***
"Alright then, we have pretty much
achieved maximum violence... now before this becomes messy or we have
a dead dog on our hands, lets lower the violence back to the set
cartoon level. So lets kick it down a notch..."
Oak:
*MAB!!!***
Arcinine
lands on the ground, with spirals in its eyes signaling that the
bullets didn't really kill him, but knocked him out with no serious
injuries.
Brock declares, "Arcinine is no longer able
to battle, the match goes to Ash!"
Gary calls Arcinine
back and says, "You did great Arcinine, you deserve a long rest
that will surely heal you from the multiple bullet wounds you
received. Great job Ash, you raised your Pikachu very well."
Ash
smiled and said, "Thanks Gary, you too!"
Gary looked
confused, "But I didn't raise your Pikachu."
"I
meant you raised your pokemon well too." Ash explained.
"Oh..."
Oak: ***PAUSE SCENE***
Oak
takes a sip of water and clears his throat. "Alright then, from
the genre action, we can move into the genre of romance. A very
typical form of romance fanfic is called the "fluffy romance".
As depicted here..."
Oak: ***CONTIUNE SCENE***
"Oh
ASH!" Misty cried out, "You won! I cant believe
it!"
Misty rushed up to Ash and wrapped her arms around
him. "I'm so happy for you."
Ash hugged Misty back,
his heart starting to beat rapidly. would now be a good time to tell
her the way he's always felt about her?
Misty looked up into
Ash's brown eyes and stared deeply, her own eyes starting to water.
"Oh Ash..."
Ash replied, "Oh Misty..."
"I've
always wanted to tell you..." Misty said, "I've always
loved you!"
"Oh, Misty! I've always loved you
too!"
Ash and Misty together: "Oh! We love each
other!" and they kiss.
Brock
comes running up with tears in his eyes, "Oh guys! I love you
two too!"
"We love you too Brock!" Ash and
Misty cried together, and all three group hugged.
"PIKA
PIKA!" Pikachu cried out with tears in its eyes as it leapt up
onto its masters head and hugged.
"Togeprrriiii!"
Togepi cried out with tears in its eyes as it ran up and hugged
Misty's leg.
Tracey
comes running out of no where. "I love you guys too!"
"Get
the Fbleep out of here... no one loves you." Ash said
curtly
"Awww..." Tracey frowns and walks away dejected.
All
three teens and the two pokemon hug going "awwwwww...."
Ash
looks over to Gary, "Come on Gary, get in on this hug you son of
a bitch!"
Gary rolls his eyes but walks over and joins
the group hug.
Oak: ***PAUSE SCENE***
"Alright
then." Oak says walking over to the now frozen group hug,
"Cute... sweet... close to nauseating. You will notice though,
this is a clean scene, so the rating has not changed from PG."
Oak:
***CONTINUE SCENE***
While
everyone is in close hugging one another, we hear the kimmunicator
noise... beep beep beep beep!
Oak: ***PAUSE SCENE***
"And
with that little noise coming from Ash's pants, the rating of this
scene has now changed to...
*ding!* PG-13
"...that
pretty much concludes the genre of Romance, so lets quickly move to
the dark side, the genre of 'angst'."
Oak:
***CONTINUE SCENE***
And just as they were all hugging, a Dragonite flying high above them had a fatal bout of tonsillitis while trying to get home to feed its new born dragon... cub... child... whatever sounds more tragic. The dragon dropped dead immediately, falling to the ground and crushing Ash, Gary, Misty, Brock, Pikachu, and Togepi. Never again will they smell the fresh air of a spring meadow, or the cheap thrill of watching a WWE women's title match. They died 24 hours before the start of the K-Mart half off all towels sale, so they would never know the soft comfort of drying themselves with a towel endorsed by Eddie Munster. It really breaks the heart. At least they wouldn't have to suffer the agony of playing the newest Tomb Raider sequel.
Oak: ***PAUSE SCENE***
"Tragic,
no?" Oak asked, "Really tugs at the hearts strings, I
haven't been this choked up since the very special episode of Family
Circus, the one where little Jeffy's G.I. Joe comes out of the
closet. But instead of dwelling on sadness, lets continue on to the
next genre, 'Supernatural'."
Oak: **CONTIUNE SCENE***
The spirits of the teens and their pokemon rise from their dead bodies and hover slightly in the air. "Aw crap... we're dead!" Ash complained.
"This sucks!" Misty agrees.
Oak: ***PAUSE SCENE***
"Ok,
that's enough of the supernatural genre, no one ever uses that one."
Oak says, "Let's move onto Fantasy..."
Oak:
***CONTINUE SCENE***
"Alright... Alright..." Gary said putting up his hands, "We're dead... but all is not lost... are you aware of the lost chalice of the ancient tribe of fooly cooly?"
Ash:
"You know, something doesn't sound right when you say
that..."
Gary sighs, "Alright, alright..."
Gary leaves the screen.
After
a minute he comes back on screen, but now he is wearing a long
flowing black cloak. He pulls out a flashlight and holds it under
his face, so it casts a spooky shadow. Gary then speaks, but not in
his normal voice but an ultra deep, out of this world tone, "Mortals,
here the prophecy. A long time ago, before the war of the Kikyo's
and the Sango's, while the world was still in it's Trigun phase. In
the valley of Vegeta, the warring tribes of Lupin and Zenigata had
their final battle under the cliffs of Legato. The two tribes almost
killed each other. The remaining tribes members made peace and the
god Optimus Prime, lord of the Autobots gave them the chalice of
Fooly Cooly, a magical chalice that can bestow life on all who drinks
it, as a sign of the two tribes new peaceful existence. It is that
chalice that we must find."
Oak: ***Pause scene***
"Alright
then," Oak explains, "We see here a classic example of
fantasy. Did any of you follow that, because I sure as hell didn't.
I mean such crazy nonsense words. If you're reading something, and
you don't know if its fantasy or not, check for Hobbits. If there
are Hobbits, then its probably fantasy. But be careful that they are
really hobbits and not just really short people. Remember, hobbits
are hairy. So if you see a hairy short person, that means they're
probably a hobbit, or European. But I digress..."
Oak:
***Continue Scene***
Gary
takes off the robe and tosses it off screen. "Was that
better?"
Ash smiles, "Yep, thanks."
"No
prob."
"Uh guys," Misty said, "That was
all fine and good, but we're ghosts. How are we suppose to drink
from a chalice?"
Ash and Gary each opened their mouths to
speak then stopped. After a moment Gary said, "Crap... she's
got a point."
"Good one Gary, next time we're in a
crisis, remind me to call on you to waste time." Ash
scoffed.
"Hey!" Gary yelled, "At least I KNEW
about all that stuff... If it doesn't come out of a comic book
you're clueless about it!"
"HEY!" Ash yelled,
"Take that back!"
"Like hell I will!" Gary yelled back.
And the two ghost teens sprint at each other about to clash, and then through each other. Since they are ghosts.
Ash and Gary just stare at each other. "Eww..." Ash said, "I think I've been violated!"
Gary made a worried face, "I hope that's not how ghosts do 'it'."
"Come
on guys," Brock scolded, "That's enough
fighting..."
"...and wasting time." Misty
added.
"Oh, seriously, like you're one to talk little
Missy, how many times have you..." Gary stopped what he was
saying, then said "What the hell is that?"
Gary was
pointing up to the sky where a large flying saucer comes down out of
the clouds and lands in front of them.
Oak: ***PAUSE
SCENE***
"Alright" Oak says, "A UFO has now entered into our story. This can only mean on thing. The genre has now changed to Sci-Fi. Many would like to say that Sci-Fi is the younger brother to the Fantasy genre, but I prefer to think of it as the distant cousin that likes to borrow it's cousin's shoes. 'What's the point I'm trying to make?' you ask, well, to be honest there is none. It's just that I get paid per word I speak... ... ...
purple
monkey dishwasher."
Oak: ***CONTINUE SCENE***
"Whoa"
Brock says pointing to the large saucer that has just landed next to
them, "What do you suppose it is?"
"I don't
know..." Ash says, "But I'm going to catch it!!!"
Ash
goes to take out a pokeball, then realizes his body is crushed under
the dead Dragonite. Everyone just glares at the young trainer. Ash
blushes, shrugs and says, "Hey, I get easily excited... so sue
me."
Suddenly the door of the saucer opened, out came two
large green aliens. Each had one large bug eye, and walked on long
tentacles. In a deep voice the one alien said, "Greeting
Earthlings, I am Kang... and this is my sister Kodos."
In
an as equally deep voice, Kodos answered, "Hello."
Ash
leaned over and whispered to Brock, "Two Simpson's references on
the same page... pretty cool."
"Yeah, that show
rocks." Brock answers, "Best cartoon on TV."
Then
realizing what he said, he turned to the camera and with a large fake
grin, "I mean... FOURTH best cartoon on the air. The first
three being the many different times a day you catch pokemon, the
best show ever! Nothing even comes close!"
OAK:
***Pause Scene***
"Alright, we are still in the genre
of sci-fi, but Brock's comments take us into a little known genre
called sucking up. It's used mostly in advertising, and to do it
properly you have to lose your spine, and put glue on your lips so
they stay nicely on the bodily surface of the boss you chose to cling
to. Very well, lets..."
OAK: ***Continue
Scene***
Brock was still pursuing this little known genre,
"I mean, the shows are consistently good, and television today
wouldn't be the same if not for..."
"SILENCE
EARTHLING" Kang cries out, "We have come to restore your
lives."
The quartet exchanged a glance and Misty asked,
"Why?"
"Because," Kodos explained, "When
we take over the earth, we could use tiny little people like you as
slaves."
"You'd fit right inside our drains to clean
out any and all clogs." Kang continued.
"Ummm..."
Ash said, "Why don't you just call a plumber?"
"WHAT?"
Kang yelled, "Do you have any idea how expensive it is to hire a
professional to clean the pipes of a intergalactic spaceship?"
Kodos
whispered to Ash, "When they see you have a sweet ride like
ours, they will really gouge you."
"Well,"
Brock said, "It may be evil of me to ask, but why don't you just
eat the plumber after he fixes you're plumbing?"
"We
can't," Kang explained, "They're part of a union."
"I see..." Brock replied blandly.
"Plus,
they give me heartburn..." Kang continued, "...and
hairballs."
"Kang was gagging of bags of thick hair
after the last plumber he ate... what was his name...?" Kodos
asked, "Was it... Mario???"
Kodos yells, "You're
old reference amuses me! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!"
Kang &
Kodos: "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!"
Kang & Kodos: "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!"
Kang & Kodos: "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!"
Kang & Kodos: "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!"
Kang & Kodos: "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!"
Kang & Kodos: "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!"
Kang & Kodos: "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!"
Ash
grins and start laughing with them. Gary gives him a nasty look, and
Ash stops and blushes, "Sorry, its a very contagious
laugh."
Kang & Kodos: "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HA HA HA HA!!!"
Kang & Kodos: "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!"
Kang & Kodos: "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!"
Kang & Kodos: "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!"
***Professor Oak checks his watch, then rolls her eyes.***
Kang & Kodos: "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!"
Kang then clears his throat and says, "Well, anyway, here's your bodies back..." The big green alien then pulls out a ray gun and shoots the teens with it, and in a flash, they're all flesh and blood again.
"Wow...,"
Ash says, "That was painless..."
"Oh, you will
feel a mild burning sensation in about 100 glicknocks." Kang
explains.
Gary raised an eyebrow, "How long is a
glicknock? Is it..." Gary stopped talking then dropped down and
started to scream, "It burns!!! It burns!!!" As does Ash,
Misty, and Brock.
"About
1/10th of a human second." Kodos explains, then without saying
another word the two aliens head back inside their ship. But before
they take off we here Kodos repeat, "...'Mario'... AH HA HA HA
HA!!!"
The disappear off into the horizon the laughing
slowly getting quieter, but getting no less irritating. However,
they should have watched where they were flying because they crashed
into the Planet Express Delivery ship as they left lower orbit, the
two ships exploded into a huge fireball of color and sound, and one
could swear they heard someone yell, "Bite my shiny metal ass.",
But maybe we were imagining that.
"Well," Misty said sweatdropping, "You don't see that everyday."
"At least we got our bodies back," Brock said, "That's a plus!"
"OH
NO!!!" Ash yelled, "I'm not in the right body!!! I'm stuck
in Ash's body!!!"
Misty and Brock gasped, and Gary looked
confused, then Ash started to laugh, "Ah, I'm just screwing with
ya, the whole "switched bodies" angle's been beat to death,
don't you think?"
"Grrrrr," Misty said balling
up her fists, "You want to see something being beat to
death..."
Ash backed away slowly, but the tense moment
was broken up when we hear "PREPARE FOR TROUBLE!"
"Whew."
Ash said, "Saved by the dumbbells."
James: "And
make it double!"
Jessie: "To protect the world from
devastation."
James: "To unite all people within
our nation."
Jessie:
"To denounce the evils of truth and love."
James:
"To extend our reach to the stars above."
Jessie:
"Jessie"
James: "James"
Jessie:
"Team Rockets blasts off at the speed of light"
James:
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
Meowth:
"That's right!"
Oak: ***PAUSE SCENE***
"Alright,
that's as close to the poetry genre' as we're going to get. So there
you are... poetry. What? You want more? Oh alright..."
Oak
clears his throat...
"There once was a man from Nantucket....
Whose... ... ...
...you know what? Let's not go there... back to the story then, shall we?"
Oak:
***CONTINUE SCENE***
"TEAM
ROCKET!!!" Ash Misty and Brock yelled together.
"Well,
duh!" Gary muttered.
"Give us Pikachu!" Jessie ordered.
"Never!" Ash declared
"Well
in dat case..." Meowth said pulling out a small remote and
presses a button on it, "You leave us no choice."
The
ground under Misty gives way and she falls into a pit. A moment
later a large cage, with Misty inside it, rises out of the
cage.
"ASH!!!" Misty cried out.
"MISTY!!!"
Ash yelled back
"PIKA!!!"
Pikachu yells.
"PIKACHU!!!"
Misty yells back.
"MISTY!!!" Brock yells
"BROCK!!!" Misty yells back.
Gary
rolled his eyes and mutters, "Good night 'tomboy'."
"No one's going to get that you know," Jessie snapped.
"They
might!" Gary argued, "TV-Land is a very popular
channel."
"Look," Meowth says, "Never mind
all dat. What's important is that we got the girl, and if you want
her back, you better give us Pikachu!"
Ash started to
sweat... what could he do???
Oak: ***Pause Scene***
"And
now we move into the genre of suspense. Suspense is a heart pounding
genre which leaves you at the edge of your seat wondering what will
happen next. And because of the serious nature of Ash's decision,
the rating is now increased to...
*DING!*
R Rated
Oak: ***Continue Scene***
Ash
clenched his fists together. Everyone was staring at him, waiting
for him to make his move. What could he do? If he tried to call out
a pokemon, they might hurt Misty. He couldn't let anything happen to
her! But he couldn't just give them Pikachu either... could he?
...
...
What
will Ash do???
Ash *thinking out loud quietly* "What
will I do???"
...
...
Misty:
*quietly* "Oh Ash..."
...
...
Gary:
*thinking* "What is Ash going to do?"
...
...
...
...
Brock: "..." *quietly snoring*
...
...

Oak:
***Pause Scene***
"Umm guys," Oak explains,
"There's a thin line between suspenseful and boring.... and you
crossed that line 2 miles back."
Oak: ***Continue
Scene***
Suddenly
a light bulb went off in Ash's head. "Oh ok." Ash said,
"You guys win, just don't hurt Misty. Pikachu, go with Team
Rocket."
"Pika?" Pikachu asked.
"Its
ok..." Ash explained, "Just go, ok?"
Pikachu
looked sad but did as it was told, and leapt into Jessie's arms.
"YES!!!" Jessie cheered, "We finally got Pikachu!!!"
"Now release Misty." Ash demanded.
"Oh
alright," Jessie said mockingly, "Here's your girlfriend
back"
The
cage opened, and Misty ran to Ash. "Well," James said,
"Nice doing business with you."
"Oh..."
Ash said, "Before you go... PIKACHU, THUNDER!!!"
Pikachu
grinned and let loose a powerful Thuder attack, while still in
Jessie's arms. In a large explosion Jessie, James, and Meowth flew
off into the distance.
Meowth: "That's not fair, he
can't do that! We had a deal!"
James: "What an
Indian giver!"
Jessie: "I think I got an Indian
burn!
Meowth: "I think we'll all land in
Indiana!!!"
All: "We're blasting off
againnnnnnnn"
Ash hugged Misty, "I'm glad your safe,
you too Pikachu."
"Thanks for helping me, Ash."
Misty said smiling and hugging back.
Oak: ***End Scene***
"And
that brings us back to the general genre." Oak explained,
"That's pretty much all the genre's expect mysteries and
humor/parody. But we did a whole quickie dedicated to riddles a few
quickies back, so that's taken care of, and most of all the others
are humor and parody. So that concludes this episode of..."
"Hey...
wait!" Ash called out.
"What
is it Ash?" Oak asked, "I was just about to end this
episode."
"But you left out some genre's." Ash
explained.
"I did?" Oak asked, "I already
explained about mysteries or humor."
"No, not those"
Ash explained, "What about genres not on Fanfiction.net?"
"Genre's NOT on Fanfiction.net? Like what?" Oak asked.
Ash
reaches into this pocket and pulls out a remote control. He points
it at the background and said, "Well, let's
see..."
***CLICK***
Gary is now wearing
safari clothes, Misty has a blonde wig on, and Brock has overalls on.
"You have the 'How to" genre." Ash explains.
"Today
on this old pokemon," Gary explains, "Today I will teach
you the many different ways to evolve your Eevee."
Misty,
talking in a monotonous and annoying calming voice, says, "And
we'll be using evolutionary stones that I made fresh this morning out
of chicory and thyme. It's a good thing."
"And then
we'll be making a pokeball from scratch to store your newly evolved
pokemon in. Just make sure that you have the multi-thousand dollar
tools I have, and wood imported from the small patch of land in
Antarctica that trees will grown in."
"That's where
I get the ice for my home made lemonade." Misty explains,
"...its a good thing."
***CLICK***
Gary
now has green hair and red eyes. Misty is bald and dressed all in
black, and Brock is 2 feet tall, bug eyed, and has claws. And the
entire world around them is a psychedelic nightmare.
"What in the world?" Oak asked shocked.
"This is the genre 'surrealism'." Ash explained.
Misty
stares at Gary and asks, "Coo Coo Cachoo?"
Gary nods
and says, "Hick a bick a boo?"
"Boo sha."
Brock grunts, then opens his mouth as a fish flies in.
"Ohhhhhh
Fishy fishy fishy fish... where is the fish?" Ash asks.
"Ash,"
Oak complains, "I'm getting a headache."
"Oh
fine." Ash says.
***CLICK***
Oak
shook his head trying to clear it, "Damn, I haven't seen
anything like that since the 60's." Oak looked around, but
everyone seemed back to normal.
Gary, Misty and Brock
glanced a look at one another. Gary yelled over, "Hey Ash, what
genre is this? Everything seems pretty norm..."
Gary was
cut off as he got kicked in the face, laying him out cold. It was
HBK, Shawn Micheals, the Heart Break kid who did the kicking, sweet
chin music. Misty and Brock kneeled to see if Gary was ok, and
Micheals started talking, to no one in particular, "Tonight, I
have my title shot against Gary Oak for the world title, and I swear
that I will pull out all the stops..."
HBK continued to
talk but as he did, Oak whispered to Ash, "What in the hell is
this genre?"
"The genre of wrestling promos."
Ash explained.
"I
really don't think that's a real genre." Oak replied.
"Really?
Philistine." Ash hurrumphed.
***CLICK***
HBK
was gone, and so was all of Gary's Misty's and Brock's clothes.
Misty's chest size also increased by a ridiculously amount, causing
her to lose balance, "WOAH!" She slips and falls face
first knocking herself out.
*beep beep beep beep*
Oak
eyed Ash, and Ash shrugged, "Hey, in fairness, pornography IS a
genre!"
Oak rolled his eyes. "Well, congratulations
Ash, you got us up to an NC-17 rating. I hope your happy with
yourself."
Ash nodded and said, "I though the
kimmunicator noise indicated that..."
Oak threw his notes
up in the air and walked off screen.
We iris out on Ash just shrugging.
***THE END***
"Well,
there we have it!" Brock says, now wearing a robe, "The
twentieth quickie! A real milestone."
"Yeah, but
this one was way longer then usual," Ash said, "Do we get
paid more?"
"Hey," Misty, also wearing a robe,
and back to her normal size, "I hope so... I hate doing nude
scenes."
"Why?" Ash asked, "No big
deal..."
"Easy for you to say," Brock says,
"You got to stay clothed."
"Hey, we all came
into the world naked." Ash said, "Don't be so
uptight."
"Yeah well," Misty said, "I just
know in 20 minutes my naked picture will be up on a thousand fan-boy
webpages, the same thing happened when Sailor Moon slipped out of her
outfit."
Brock starts humming "Glory Days"
Misty
rolls her eyes.
"Well,
lets wrap this up, let's thank everyone for reading all our quickies.
Without them reading and reviewing, we'd be out of a job." Ash
said.
Ash, Misty and Brock: "Thank you for reading! And please keep reviewing!"
All
of them bow. Then stand back up and wave.
***beep beep beep
beep***
Misty
and Brock stare at Ash. Ash blushes and shrugs, "It's the cold
breeze... really."
THE REAL END
Woah,
this one took me a while to write, but its more then twice the size
of a normal quickie. But I figured, its a special number, they do
it. You readers are the best! Really! You've read twenty of my
stories, and posted over 180 reviews. You guys rock, thank you! I
hope you enjoyed this one. I guess there's nothing left to say.
Although it'd be pretty cool if everyone reviewed and pushed my over
180 reviews up past 200. Nudge nudge wink wink. Hehe, ok ok, I'm
joking... well half joking. Thank you again, and take care.
Oh
by the way... remember, for questions or comments, feel free to
write me at Edifolco25@aol.com Just make the subject of the email
"Quickies" or something like that, so I don't think its
spam and delete it. :-D
OH, AND, one more thing... (a la' uncle)
I
have this idea in my head. I watched this show the other night,
"Inside the Actor's Classroom" or something like that,
where people asked the actor and their character questions. I
thought it might be fun to do a spoof of that, have Ash, Misty, Brock
and whoever else answering questions. Thing is, should I make up the
questions from scratch... or would people like to send in their own
questions/comments. The questions would be about the characters, and
about the quickies. The questions would be answered, but done in a
comedic fashion. It's just a thought, and wouldn't be done till
January, giving everyone time to write in. E-mail me and let me know
what you think, ok?
Alright that's it for now. Bye, take
care, thanks again for reading!
