The moon was up in the Moor of Icirrus as Meloetta was at the balcony in Castle Mariano, staring at the moon. She was thinking about Keldeo, worried about him and thinking if he's okay. Meloetta let out a few tears as she flew out of the balcony.
Meloetta opened the closet and takes out a black cloak. The same black cloak that Furnace wore in Pokemon Battle Revolution, but it's more smaller for Meloetta to wear. Meloetta puts on the cloak and tries to sneak out of the castle and into the forest. She opened the door to see Damian on the other side and freaked out.
"What are you doing Damian?" Meloetta asked.
"I was just taking a night stroll around the Moor. What about you? And why are you wearing that cloak?" Damian asked.
"I was also going for a stroll around the Moor and maybe sing a little. And I'm wearing this cloak so that nobody can see me. I can't stop thinking about Keldeo." Meloetta said.
"You're going on those memory night singing again?" Damian questioned. Meloetta nods in response as she flew outside of the castle.
"I don't know when I'm coming back, but I just wish I can see Keldeo again." Meloetta said as she flew away from Castle Mariano.
Meloetta was flying around the forest in the Moor of Icirrus, thinking about Keldeo. All she wants is to see Keldeo again. She wished that stupid plot hole never happened, but she knows that if the plot hole didn't happen, she would have never got her review show and make new friends. Meloetta started singing "Dreams of an Absolution" by Lee Brotherton and Jun Senoue.
"Cause every night I will save your life and every night I will be with you.
'Cause every night I still lay awake and I dream of an absolution.
'Cause every night I will make it right and every night I will come to you.
But every night it just stays the same and I dream of an absolution."
Keldeo had been very busy since his return, setting up crossovers and whatnot for "Keldeo the Critic." But now, finally, Keldeo's schedule had returned to normal, allowing for he and the other Swords of Justice to have a bit of a talk.
"I never had any doubt that you wouldn't take very long to return, kid," Terrakion said, looking rather pleased.
Keldeo smiled and raised his horn with pride. "Of course I'd be back soon. This is where I belong. I'm a Sword of Justice!"
"Indeed you are, Keldeo," Virizion said, "But about these issues you keep running into as a Critic-."
"Oh, you mean my Critician duties?" Keldeo said with a laugh, "Don't worry about that. Once a critic passes through a Plot Hole, they're protected against anything that can delete them. They're kind of anchored to people's minds after that." Keldeo winked and said, "Plus, they have the privilege of taking breaks whenever they want!"
Virizion brightened up considerably at this. "Good. So your duties as a Sword of Justice won't be shirked."
Keldeo nodded, "I wouldn't even think of shirking."
"And yet, you are clearly holding something in," Cobalion remarked.
Keldeo looked at Cobalion in confusion, "What do you-?"
"Do not lie, Keldeo," Cobalion said sternly, "You are in pain about something."
Keldeo sighed and hung his head sadly, "I can't hide anything from you, Cobalion. You're right. It's just. . . well. . . I don't know where Meloetta is! Let alone if she'll forgive me for leaving."
"You promised her you'd be back, and she honestly and truly believed you," Cobalion said, "She was sincere about being willing to wait for you, and you've fulfilled your promise. All you need to do is wait for her to reveal herself."
Keldeo thought on this in silence, and then said, "I'm gonna . . . take a walk, I guess. . . to think."
The other Swords of Justice watched as Keldeo wandering off into the Moor in deep thought.
"It will be okay," Cobalion said sagely, "The end will be here soon. Very soon."
Keldeo was so absorbed in his thoughts about Meloetta; "What has she been doing? Does she still love me? Where has she been?"; that he nearly didn't notice the figure in the back cloak fly across his path ahead of him.
"Wha-?!" he said, startled by the figure. He quickly got over the initial shock, and became quite curious. He silently followed the cloaked figures path, wondering who it could be. Perhaps an evil Ghost-type come to fight the Swords of Justice? Maybe Shuppet or Mismagius?
Keldeo crawled behind a bush and peaked through it, spying on the unknown figure. At that moment, Keldeo received the only clue he needed to figure out who it was.
"Cause every night I will save your life and every night I will be with you.
'Cause every night I still lay awake and I dream of an absolution.
'Cause every night I will make it right and every night I will come to you.
But every night it just stays the same and I dream of an absolution."
Keldeo smiled. "I'd know that voice anywhere. . ." he said as he came out from behind the bush.
Meloetta slowly turned to look in the direction of the voice.
"I've kept my promise Meloetta," Keldeo said with a small smile, "I'm back, and I won't be disappearing on you ever again."
Meloetta was shocked. She knew Keldeo would come back someday, but she never expected him to come back right now with the moon up. But that didn't matter to her right now. All she cares about is the Pokemon standing in front of her right now.
Meloetta removed her hood covering her head and looked at Keldeo. Then she rushed to Keldeo and hugged him and started crying tears of joy.
"I knew you would come back, Keldeo. I just knew you would. I worry about you every day and night, hoping you would come back someday, but I never expected it to be today. But that doesn't matter, I'm just so happy that you're back." Meloetta cried as she hugged Keldeo with all the love she has. Meloetta's so happy to see Keldeo and be reunited with him once again.
As Meloetta hugged him, Keldeo felt his body quiver as he began to get emotional himself.
"Meloetta. . .When I left, I told myself that it would all be okay because I'd be back," Keldeo said softly, "So much would have been lost if I hadn't done what I had to do. But that doesn't keep me from regretting what I put you through."
Keldeo lowered his head down so that his cheek touched hers.
"But now I know," Keldeo continued, "I am NOT just 'Keldeo the Critic.' I am Keldeo. I'm a Sword of Justice. And I'm yours. . ."
Keldeo turned and kissed Meloetta lightly on the cheek.
Meloetta smiled and cried even more.
"I did worry about you Keldeo, but I made new friends while you were gone and they helped me. Not only that, but while you were gone, I…."
Keldeo chuckled a bit and said, "Well, what have you been up to, Meloetta?"
Meloetta blushed a little and said, "While you were gone, I got my review show I always dreamed about. It wasn't easy, but someone wanted my review show on their account. And that someone is the guy who wrote Pokemon Battle Revolution."
"Really? that's amazing!" Keldeo said, "And you know, I kinda knew you'd get a review show before long. And Pokemon Battle Revolution was so well written, I'd say that's an author you'd want to partner up with!"
Meloetta blushed and giggled a little. "Well he may be a good author who has an intense imagination, but he can be a little aggressive. But I'm alright with it. He's really nice once you get to know him. And he does live with some of his OCs, like Damian."
"That sounds great," Keldeo replied, still gazing at Meloetta with pride, "I'd like to meet them some day." Keldeo became thoughtful for a moment. "You know, you and I could do a crossover together. Maybe on Pokemon Music-."
Keldeo stopped in mid sentence and shook his head. "Listen to me, what am I saying?!" Keldeo said comically. He gave a little laugh and brought his face close to Meloetta's. "That stuff can wait. That's all work. Now that we're finally together again, I just want the two of us to enjoy life again."
Keldeo grinned and said to her in a regal tone, "Your wish is my command, my lady!"
Meloetta widen her eyes and smiled when Keldeo mention "Pokemon Music."
"Did you say Pokemon Music?" She asked
Keldeo nodded, "Yes. There sure are a lot of good Pokemon songs."
Meloetta smiled and said, "Are you planning a Top 11 list of Pokemon Songs? If you are, I want to be in it."
Keldeo was absolutely delighted to hear this, and he said, "You sure know me well, Meloetta. And I sure wouldn't do it without you."
Meloetta became excited as she grabbed Keldeo's front right hoof and pulls him as she said, "Well then, come on. Let's get started. What's in the list?"
Keldeo looked surprised for a brief moment, but then he smiled endearingly at her and said, "Meleotta, you're amazing."
The show! Will! Go! On!
Keldeo reared up on his hind legs, his expression serious and his Secret Sword raised and glowing brightly.
Keldeo the Critic
Editorial 3- Top 11 Pokemon Anime Songs
tinyurl: oe2el3j
The sun is shining brightly on a brand new morning in the Moor of Icirrus. Keldeo is nearly bubbling over with excitement as he stood in his usual spot, as cheerful as ever.
"It's me, Keldeo the Critic! I review it so you don't have to," he said gleefully, "This Editorial is gonna be about something many people might overlook, but I'm sure still enjoy! I'm talking about Pokemon music! And whenever you even mention Pokemon and music together in the same breath, there's one special girl that always comes to mind!"
An image of Jigglypuff appeared.
". . . Well, okay, she is a very well known Pokemon singer, but besides Jigglypuff, the most most famous singer in Pokemon is:"
An image of Roxie appeared.
Keldeo knocked it away with the backside of his hoof. "Very funny," he said with a deadpan tone, "Now, let's be serious. The Pokemon I'm referring to really doesn't need an introduction. All we need to know, is that the Melody Pokemon is right here."
Meloetta comes out from behind Keldeo and waves.
"Hello everyone." She said with a smile.
Keldeo pranced around Meloetta excitedly. and said, "I've been waiting so long for this day! Seriously, I've been waiting quite a while to do this Editorial. Top 11 Songs From the Pokemon Anime, with Meloetta! Best Editorial Ever!"
Keldeo stopped and asked, "So, is there anything you wanna say before we start, Meloetta?"
Meloetta smiled.
"Actually yes. First of all, I would like to thank Keldeo for having me here on this very special Editorial. It's been really hard for me to my show when I have you in my mind. I worry about you every day." Meloetta said as she kissed Keldeo's cheek
Keldeo blushed and chuckled in a love-struck manner. "Aww. . . thank you Meloetta. . . Well, this day marks a new era for the two of us! So, let's enjoy the Top 11 Best Songs From the Pokemon Anime! Why top 11? Because 10 just isn't enough. So, crank up the volume, because here are our Top 11 Songs From the Pokemon Anime!"
Number 11:
"The Pokerap."
OK, guys, we gotta rap some Pokémon.
You just do the singing. I'll take care of the hard part.
Let's get it on!
I want to be the best
there ever was.
To beat all the rest, yeah,
that's my cause.
"It's a simple song, but a catchy one," Keldeo said with a smile, "A series of three catchy raps that list the Pokemon from Generations I, II, and III."
Electrode, Diglett, Nidoran, Mankey
Venusaur, Rattata, Fearow, Pidgey
Seaking, Jolteon, Dragonite, Gastly
Ponyta, Vaporeon, Poliwrath, Butterfree
Catch 'em, catch 'em, gotta catch 'em all,
Pokémon!
"Honestly Keldeo, I really don't like this one. Just by listening to this, it either gets boring or annoying at times. The lyrics are kinda short and they mostly name Pokemon in a random order the creator of the rap choses from." Meloetta explained.
"Well, it's not so much 'random' as 'forced to rhyme,'" Keldeo said with a shrug.
Zubat, Primeape, Meowth, Onix
Geodude, Rapidash, Magneton, Snorlax
Gengar, Tangela, Goldeen, Spearow
Weezing, Seel, Gyarados, Slowbro
Gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all, yeah!
Gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all, yeah!
Gotta catch 'em all, Pokémon! Ow!
"And hey! They actually split the rap up into five parts to play once a weekday after each episode. I'm sure all the kids back in 1998 loved it!" Keldeo said, "Sure, it's kind of boring and simple, I mean, it's just a guy saying Pokemon names, of course. But at the very least it's a song that's both classic and nostalgic to the Pokemon Anime."
Charmeleon, Wartortle
Mewtwo, Tentacruel, Aerodactyl
Omanyte, Slowpoke
Pidgeot, Arbok - That's all, folks!
Keldeo jumped in surprise. "Did it just reference Looney Tunes?!" he exclaimed.
Meloetta giggled. "Yes it did."
Number 10:
"The first intro to the Black and White Anime/The Victini Movie Intro."
It's always hard,
When the journey begins.
Hard to find your way;
Hard to make amends.
But there's nothing you can't do,
'Cause you've got the power inside of you.
"This is good for two reasons. The lyrics and the CGI intro for the Anime," Keldeo said with a smile, "First the lyrics. Aren't they just so inspiring, . . ."
It's never easy,
To make a choice:
To keep things inside,
Or raise your voice.
But for everyone there comes a time
When the light inside begins to shine.
It's not always right or wrong,
As long as your spirit's strong.
It's not always win or lose,
It's the road you choose;
The answer's within.
"Oh they're definitely inspiring. It shows how it doesn't matter about winning or losing and what a Pokemon Journey is really about. But that depends on what you're doing on your journey." Meloetta explained.
"So it's a good thing that our Anime heroes have good intentions for their journey. Good ideals and good truths," Keldeo said, "and as for the CGI intro, well, you can't deny it's cool to see all those Pokemon animated so beautiful. Even Pikachu's movements are well aligned with the song. All in all, both the song and the intro is a good way to get viewers ready for the beginning of Ash's new Unova journey."
It's not always black and white,
But your heart always knows what's right.
It's not about win or lose, it's the path you choose.
Let the journey begin,
Pokémon!
Number 9:
"Born To Be a Winner."
"How could you not go wrong with that remix of a certain other Pokemon song!" Keldeo said brightly.
I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was (Ever was, ever was)
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
"And yet it still manages to stay original to set the Johto League apart," Keldeo said confidently.
My whole life has led to this
Time to test my skills
I know I just can't miss
Gonna show the world
"When I first heard of this song, I thought it was a remake of the first theme song, until I hear lyrics I never heard from the original theme song. It may have the first part from the original theme song, and then it has its own lyrics." Meloetta explained.
"I agree with you completely, Meloetta," Keldeo said, "It's an awesome song that gets you excited for Ash's adventures in Johto . . . and for the movie that introduces series' trend of time traveling Pokemon."
Keldeo smiled sheepishly.
Born to be a winner
(Johto)
Born to be a champion
Born to be a winner
Born to be the very best
(Pokémon Johto)
Born to be a winner
Pokemon!
Number 8:
"Wanna Be a Hero."
"This is, without a shadow of a doubt, Ash's song," Keldeo said resolutely.
A kid from Pallet Town with a brand new world to see
Don't know what's ahead but it won't get the best of me
There's so much to learn and battles to be won
I've advanced so far but still there's always more to come
Take a step and I'm on my way...
Gonna start all over again
Meloetta sighed, "You know, Keldeo. Let me be honest here, but this theme song is kinda boring. I'm not saying it's a bad theme or anything, but the song are short and it doesn't bring the mood I wanted to expect. The theme does describe what the anime is about in comparison to the game, but it doesn't bring the mood I want to feel from the theme."
Keldeo sighed in response, "Okay. You got me. I'll admit it: the only part of the song that really stands out for me is the 'I wanna be a hero' part."
I wanna be a hero!
Pokémon: Advanced!
"In terms of actual singing though, it's pretty mediocre," Keldeo admitted, "What I like here are the lyrics and how they describe the anime, like you just said. It's not an amazing song, but it is still a good song that lays out the plot of the anime in general."
I'm on my way!
I wanna be a hero!
Give me just one chance...
And the future will decide...
If there's a hero buried deep inside...
I wanna be a hero!
Pokémon!
Number 7:
"Believe in Me, the Pokemon Master Quest song."
Pokémon!
No time to question my moves
I stick to the path that I choose
Me and my friends are gonna do it right
You'll never see us run away from a fight
"This song is all about believing in yourself and feeling that you can accomplish anything!" Keldeo said, "I feel this describes Ash pretty well! And it's an attitude that anyone can and should have whenever they do anything in life."
To be a Master is my dream,
All I've got to do is believe
(And I believe)
Meloetta thought for a moment, then she said, "When I first heard of Masters Quest, I thought it was something unrelated to Pokemon. Now that I heard about it, I remembered that I heard this song when I watched Pokemon Heroes. I always love listening to this theme song, but the one thing that upsets me is that the lyrics doesn't have that much effort and it's mostly instrumental. In a song, you expect some singing, BUT YOU DON'T EXPECT INSTRUMENTAL THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SONG!" Meloetta yelled angrily.
"Whoa. Calm down, Meloetta," Keldeo said kindly, "Yes, you're right, there's a lot of instrumental. But to me, I felt that it was just building off of the lyrics we DO get, which aren't that bad when you really listen to them," Keldeo explained.
I've got a chance to win
I'm on my way to victory
Pokémon!
I can be a Champion if I just believe
"And I still think the music sounds good for a theme song," Keldeo said, "Yes, lyrics throughout would have been better, but you gotta admit that the lyrics we do get are pretty cool."
"I'm not saying the song is bad, but they could have worked on the lyrics." Meloetta said.
"Yes. Yes, they could have," Keldeo admitted.
I'm on a Master Quest
Master Quest!
I want the whole world to see
I believe!
I'm gonna be the very best,
'Cause all I've got to do is believe in me.
Pokémon!
Number 6:
"Unbeatable, the Advanced Battle theme."
Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm unbeatable
"Alright, now we're talking!" Keldeo said with an excited smile, "Now this song gets you in the mood for an action packed show! It's all about how strong Ash has become and how he's gonna face some incredible challenges, even Legendary Pokemon, and still win!"
Walking down this endless highway
With nothing but my friends beside me
We'll never give in, we'll never rest
Advanced Battle is the ultimate test
From the earth, the land
The sea and sky
They can never win, but they sure can try
Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm unbeatable
Pokémon
(Advanced Battle!)
Meloetta squeals in excitement. "I love hearing this theme song. It brings me the adrenaline rush when I hear this theme. It's possibly the only theme song that makes you expect amazing and epic battles. And just listen to the lyrics. I love the singing and the lyrics. The theme song doesn't lie. This is the only theme that can show you the epic and unforgettable battles….or possibly a lot of mischief."
Hades: "Oh no, making mischief is one of my principal responsibilities."
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm undefeatable
From the stars and the ancient past
They come to play, but they'll never last
Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm unbeatable
Pokémon
(Advanced Battle!)
Keldeo bobbed his head to the music with a wide smile on his face. "Well, we're in perfect agreement about this one, Meloetta. An amazing and epic song to get you in an amazing and epic mood."
Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm undefeatable
Oh oh oh
(Advanced Battle!)
I'm unbeatable
Pokémon
Number 5:
"The first Diamond and Pearl theme song."
Keldeo jumped up excitedly and said, "Another rap song! And this one's a lot more interesting than the Pokerap!"
Pokémon!
Pokémon!
It's all about the challenges.
It's a brand new game
and a brand new world.
New rivals,
as you fight for survival.
Nothing can stop you,
Diamond and Pearl.
Pokémon!
"This song tells you how strong the Sinnoh arc is gonna be and just makes you wanna get moving!" Keldeo said as he moved his body to the beat.
Meloetta giggled at Keldeo's movement, "That's cute Keldeo. So basically, this theme song is a lot of fun to me, but it's also like a warning. The Diamond and Pearl Saga is my favorite in the Pokemon Anime. And in my opinion, I think the Sinnoh Region is the hardest Region in the entire Pokemon Video Game series. So if you haven't seen the Anime of Diamond and Pearl, I hope you're prepared for what's coming." Meloetta explained.
It's all about the battle.
You gotta play smart.
You gotta move faster behind
every win there's a chance to begin, again!
You gotta take it all if you wanna be a master...
Keldeo nodded, "You can say that again, Meloetta. Sinnoh is a tough region with cool Pokemon-."
*ding!*
A picture of Lucario appeared.
"-and vile villains-."
*ding!*
A picture of Paul, Hunter J, and Team Galactic appeared.
"-that is well deserving of an awesome song like this."
Pokémon!
Pokémon!
It's time for adventure,
Diamond and Pearl.
We can change the world.
Pokémon!
Number 4:
"The Polka O Dolka," Keldeo said, "Now, of course, we can't exactly play it here, so let's just talk about it. The Polka O Dolka is-."
Without warning, there was the sound of a shamisen being played.
Keldeo's eyes widened in terror. "Oh no!" he exclaimed.
Meloetta giggled.
"I might have brought The Polka O Dolka with me." Meloetta smirks and takes out a shamisen from behind her and plays it.
"Dance for me, pretty boy."
Here's your ticket,
Hit the floor and kick it!
No sense stayin' in a chair, no!
Music, pumpin',
Now the joint is jumpin'!
Slidin' and glidin' through the air!
Keldeo's legs began moving on their own as he began shuffling sideways really quickly, and then starting hopping around Meloetta.
Forced to smile, Keldeo glared at Meloetta and said through his smile, "You owe me big time, Meloetta! But don't think this will keep me from talking!"
Now's the time for shakin',
For turnin' 'round and wakin'
The sleepyhead that's in your bed; the fun is for the takin'!
Forget about the snoozers,
'Cause snoozin's for the losers,
Since everything is lookin' up then let's party down!
Keldeo jumped up onto his rear hooves and waved his fore hooves around.
"This song is famous for being in the Pikachu short Gotta Dance! And is sung by none other than Meowth!"
Every single Pokémon
That knows what is goin' on
Is there to sing and shake their thing until the break of day, hey!
Check out the way my friends are spinnin',
It keeps us all a-grinnin'
And giddy in a Pokémonic way.
"Hearing Meowth sing is always a riot," Keldeo said as he began twirling around on one leg, "But what makes this song memorable is that it is played by the Dancing Poke Baton. A device that Meowth invented that forces any Pokemon who hears it to start dancing, which results in a very funny plot for the Pikachu short!"
Here's your ticket,
Hit the floor and kick it!
No sense sittin' this one out, yo!
Don't be tardy,
Join the Poké-party!
Time for the Poké-party dance!
Meloetta was really enjoying Keldeo dancing every time she plays the shamisen.
"I don't know if you realized this Keldeo, but this is kinda like a rap. With Meowth singing, he's rhyming at the end of a lyric. Just look,"
Here's your ticket,
Hit the floor and kick it!
No sense stayin' in a chair, no!
Music, pumpin',
Now the joint is jumpin'!
Slidin' and glidin' through the air!
Now's the time for shakin',
For turnin' 'round and wakin'
The sleepyhead that's in your bed; the fun is for the takin'!
Forget about the snoozers,
'Cause snoozin's for the losers,
Since everything is lookin' up then let's party down!
Every single Pokémon
That knows what is goin' on
Is there to sing and shake their thing until the break of day, hey!
Check out the way my friends are spinnin',
It keeps us all a-grinnin'
And giddy in a Pokémonic way.
Here's your ticket,
Hit the floor and kick it!
No sense sittin' this one out, yo!
Don't be tardy,
Join the Poké-party!
Time for the Poké-party dance!
"Not only it sounds like a rap with Meowth rhyming, but this is very enjoyable to dance too. It's kinda like Mite Mite Kochichi, except Meowth isn't in that song. It's from the Pikachu short that I'm in, Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade. The singers of Mite Mite Kochichi is a Japanese girl band named Momoiro Clover Z, and to add in Mite Mite Kochichi, I'm dancing in my Pirouette Form in the song. So in comparison to Polka O Dolka and Mite Mite Kochichi, both of those songs are pretty addicting and you'll love to dance to either one of those two songs." Meloetta explained while she continued playing the shamisen with a enjoyable smile on her face.
Keldeo jumped in front of Meloetta and began bucking around wildly as he bobbed his head to the beat.
"Well, I never heard of that band, but if it's like this song, I bet they're good! Anyway, all in all, the Polka O Dolka is a fun catchy song made good with Meowth's iconic singing voice and a catchy polka beat!"
Here's your chance now,
On the floor and dance now!
Don't be a Poké-party pooper!
Take it, shake it,
Promise you won't break it!
Time for the Poké-party dance!
Keldeo jumped onto his hind legs and posed, spreading his fore legs wide.
"Speaking of Polka beat….." Meloetta stops playing the shamisen.
Number 3
"The Polkamon," Keldeo said with a smile, "Now Meloetta, since you got to 'surprise' me, now I'm gonna surprise you. With a very special guest! The one, the only, Weird Al-!"
Suddenly, a voice said "psst!"
Keldeo craned his neck to listen to the whispering voice. Keldeo frowned and said, "Oh . . . um . . . okay, so, um, it looks like my first specail guest can't make it . . ." Keldeo then grinned and said, "But luckily we have a second special guest! Coming straight from Equestria, we have the one, the only, Cheese Sandwich!"
Out from the side of screen, Cheese Sandwich jumped in with his accordion and started playing the intro to the song.
Keldeo smiled sheepishly and shrugged, "Sorry viewers, but I can't help it! Bronies forever!"
"HEEEEEEEEEY KELDEO! You ready for the Polkamon?" Cheese Sandwich said excitedly.
"I sure am!" Keldeo said excitedly.
The pony launched right into the song.
Krabby, Snubbull, Venonat,
Mankey, Chansey, and Zubat,
Slowking, Ditto, Butterfree,
Lugia, and Caterpie,
Oddish, Poliwag, Goldeen,
Elekid, and Nidoqueen,
Victreebel, and Magneton -
Everybody Polkamon!
"Aha! I'm dancing out of my own freewill! Woo-hoo!" Keldeo said happily as he jumped around kicking his legs.
Meloetta giggled
"Oh you silly little colt. You know, I sometimes find Weird Al Yankovic the Royal Fool of Hollywood because his music is so laughable. And with Polkamon, get ready for another song to dance along to." She explained.
Aerodactyl, Seel, Machoke,
Marill, Moltres and Slowpoke,
Articuno, Ditto, Muk,
Flareon, and ol' Psyduck,
Cloyster, Kingler, Shellder, Gloom,
Snorlax, and of course Vileplume,
Zapdos, and Charmeleon -
Everybody Polkamon!
"And while at first listen, it may seem like a polka version of the Pokerap, it's acutally a very unique Polka tune made especially for Pokemon: The Power of One," Keldeo said, "Seriously! This song is 10th track on the movie's official soundtrack CD! A fun surprise for whoever bought it at the time!"
It's time to Polka,
For Ponyta and Pidgey too.
Come on, put on your lederhosen,
And try not to step on little Pikachu.
You better grab yourself a partner,
Like Tentacruel or Bulbasaur. (Bulbasaur!)
Hold on a minute, there's still at least a hundred and twenty-seven more,
Keldeo couldn't help but laugh at this. "Oh yeah! Remember when there weren't 649 known species of Pokemon? And I'm sure that number is still going to grow as more generations are added! But back to the song, it's the subtle things that Weird Al throws in that make it fun! Like how Ditto is mentioned twice, or how Bulbasaur is given special mention for being Pokemon No. 1, or how he sneaks in his favorite number: 27!"
Including Ledyba and Omastar,
Jynx, Bellossom, and Magmar,
Geodude, and Arcanine,
Jigglypuff, and Mr. Mime.
Don't forget about Sandslash,
Exeggcute, and Rapidash,
Lickitung, and Porygon -
Everybody Polkamon!
"So, what else can we say about a fun, up beat, nostalgic, funny song like this except . . . everybody Polkamon!" Keldeo cheered!
Everybody Polkamon!
Everybody Polkamon!
"Thanks, Cheese!" Keldeo said, "I hope to see you again in the show, or at least in the comics."
Cheese Sandwich stashed his accordion back into his hair, and then spun around quickly, changing into his hat and poncho.
"No need to thank me, Keldeo," he said seriously, "My Cheesy Sense simply takes me where I'm needed. Farewell, Pony of Justice."
Cheese then walked away slowly, as Keldeo looked on with a look of admiration, nodding and saying, "Godspeed, Cheese Sandwich. Godspeed. . ."
Number 2:
"This is the boss and I'm sick of waiting!
I want Pikachu! And this time don't screw it up!"
"It doesn't matter what series you're talking about. When you make a best songs list, there's always gonna be an awesome Villain Song on it somewhere," Keldeo said with a grin.
Prepare for trouble,
Make it double,
Prepare for trouble,
Make it double.
"Double Trouble, from the little known Pikachu's Jukebox segments from seasons 1 and 2. And I'm being totally honest when I say that this has to be one of best Villains Songs I've ever heard," Keldeo said with certainty, "I'm talking Disney levels of awesomeness, here!"
James: We'll be the richest rogues of all time.
Jessie: Creators of a grand design.
James: I'll be the king.
Jessie: I'll be the queen.
Meowth: I'll be the joker... of crime.
"This song does a good job of letting Team Rocket express who they are and what they want to do," Keldeo explained.
"Not only that Keldeo, but it's also a singalong version of the Team Rocket motto once you listen to it. It's a fantastic way to express Team Rocket." Meloetta said as she started dancing to the beat.
Jessie: Prepare for trouble.
James: Make it double.
Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!
James: To unite all peoples 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 Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!
James: Surrender now, or prepare to fight!
Meowth: That's right!
Keldeo and Meloetta both started dancing to the beat.
Chorus:
Team Rocket's rockin,
Talkin' trouble, walkin' trouble,
Double trouble, big trouble's gonna follow you,
Team Rocket's rockin,
Talkin' trouble, walkin' trouble,
Double trouble, big trouble's gonna follow you,
Team Rocket: We're gonna capture Pikachu.
Keldeo stopped dancing and said, "Seriously, check out these lines! They get to the very heart of Team Rocket."
Chorus & James:
We're Team Rocket and we fight for what's wrong
For mayhem and madness and rare Pokémon.
Jessie: I'm so gorgeous
James: I'm always the man
Giovanni: You're just the players in my master plan
Chorus: We're always gonna try it
No one can deny it
We can cause a riot in Sunday School
James: Ooh a riot!
We'll have you believing
Truth can be deceiving
Team Rocket: "Do unto others" is our Golden Rule
Jessie: This is our most ingenious plan ever, if I do say so myself.
James: Even we couldn't screw this one up Jessie.
Meowth: Would you two stop yappin', here they come!
"This song makes sure to assert itself as a villain song, and a cool villain song at that, while still being balanced out by the Team Rocket Trio's goofiness, complete with a Blast-Off at the end," Keldeo said with a grin on his face, "Most fun villain song ever!"
Meloetta was still dancing to the beat.
"Maybe more fun that Scar's song from Lion King." Meloetta said.
Team Rocket's rockin
Talkin' trouble, walkin' trouble
Double trouble, big trouble's gonna follow you
BOOOOM!
Team Rocket: Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!
Ding. . .
"And the number one song from the Pokemon anime is. . . ."
Keldeo paused, and then said, "You know, do we even need to say it? I mean, it's totally obvious, right? I mean, everybody knows what the number one Pokemon song is, am I right, Meloetta?"
Meleotta nodded, "Of course everyone knows what number 1 is. It's always a fan favorite and everyone loves to listen to it. It's basically the number one Pokemon Theme Song in the Pokemon Anime. And it warms my heart to hear it."
Bridgekeeper: "Get on with it."
"Oh. Seems like they do want to hear it from us," Meloetta said, "I think they know what number 1 is, but they actually want to hear it from us."
Tim: "Yes! Get on with it!"
"I guess they do want to hear it from us. I mean, you guys gotta admit, you all love this theme song more than any other theme, right?" Meloetta said.
Army: "YEAH! GET ON WITH IT!"
Meloetta smiles.
"Alright. Keldeo, let's present Number 1."
"Will you sing it with me, Meloetta?" Keldeo asked excitedly.
Meloetta jumps around Keldeo in excitement.
"Yes I will Keldeo! Yes I will!" Meloetta shouted in excitement.
Pokemon!
Keldeo turned into his Resolute Form and walked forward in a determined manner.
"I want to be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause"
Meloetta twirled around and turned into her Piroutte Form and pointed.
"I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Teach Pokémon to understand
The power that's inside"
Keldeo jumped up high and flipped in mind air. He landed and continued singing as Meloetta flew around him elegantly, twirling gracefully as she sanging as well.
"Pokémon!
(Gotta catch 'em all), it's you and me
I know it's my destiny
(Pokémon!)
Ooh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokémon
(Gotta catch 'em all), a heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me, and I'll teach you
Po-ké-mon!
(Gotta catch 'em all!)
Gotta catch 'em all!
Pokémon!"
Applause from an unseen audience thundered loudly throughout the Moor of Icirrus.
"You just can't beat those lyrics!" Keldeo said, "This song is the essence of Pokemon! Going on a journey, testing your limits, making friends with every Pokemon you meet, protecting the world from evil, and creating a true connection and bond with the Pokemon with whom you share loyalty and care with. That is what Pokemon is all about."
"It sure is Keldeo. No Pokemon theme song can beat the original. Even though in the X and Y series, they remade this theme song, but it's still not compared to the original." Meloetta said with a smile
"That's right Meloetta. I'm pretty sure we, and everyone else, can agree that the Pokemon Theme is by far, the best Pokemon Anime Song," Keldeo concluded.
Po-ké-mon!
(Gotta catch 'em all!)
Gotta catch 'em all!
Pokémon!
"That was great Meloetta!" Keldeo cheered, looking quite elated and excited, "I had such a good time doing this episode together. We should really do it again sometime. Oh, and what do you plan on doing next?"
"Umm….I have no idea really. I've been worried about you so much that I have no idea what to do next." Meloetta said, until both Keldeo and Meloetta hear yelling.
"WHERE IS SHE?!"
"I DON'T KNOW! SHE'S BEEN GONE SINCE LAST NIGHT!"
"HOW DO YOU KNOW?! YOU WERE ASLEEP!"
"YOU WERE TOO! SO THAT MAKES US EVEN!"
"I know those voices." Meloetta flew to the bushes.
Keldeo blinked, and he leaned towards the bushes in curiosity, "Uh, are those friends of yours or . . . uh, Meloetta?"
"No way." Meloetta said in surprise.
From beyond the bushes, a Lucario and a Zoroark were looking around the forest in the Moor of Icirrus.
"Any ideas of where could Meloetta be?" The Lucario asked.
"I have no idea. She could be anywhere in the moor." The Zoroark said.
"IAN! ANTHONY! OVER HERE!" Meloetta yelled. The Lucario and Zoroark heard Meloetta as they both ran to her.
"Where the heck have you been? We were worried sick. You haven't come back home last night from your memory night singing." The Lucario said.
"Well, I was singing at night until I ran into this special Pokemon right here." Meloetta points to Keldeo.
Keldeo smiled in a friendly manner and said, "Hi. I'm Keldeo the Critic, and a Sword of Justice! You must be Meloetta's new friends."
"We are. Meloetta is really nice and friendly and her review show is great." The Lucario said.
"Wait a minute. Keldeo the Critic?" The Zoroark questioned.
Keldeo gave a wink a smiled. "Uh-huh. That's me."
The Lucario and Zoroark looked at each other in surprise.
"Oh my God. HE'S BACK!" They both yelled excitedly.
Meloetta nervously smiled as she had an anime sweatdrop on the side of her head.
"It's an honor meeting you, Keldeo. Name's Ian." The Lucario introduced, now known as Ian.
"I'm Anthony. Nice to meet you, Mr. Critic." The Zoroark said, now known as Anthony.
Keldeo laughed and scratched the back of his head with his fetlock. "Well, it's nice to meet you guys too. Just don't call me Mr. Critic. Anyway, how long have you guys and Meloetta known each other?"
"Okay. Let's see. Meloetta moved in with us last year in September." Ian said.
"And then her review show came 2 months later after September." Anthony said.
"So that would be…. almost a year." Ian said.
"We've known Meloetta for 10 months." Anthony said.
"Wow. So, what to do you guys do? Do you help her out with her show and stuff?" Keldeo asked.
"Well we sometimes help Meloetta with her equipment, but that's mostly it. She mostly does the rest herself." Ian said.
"She does a really good job though." Anthony said.
"Sorry to interrupt the conversation but what are you two doing here?" Meloetta asked.
"Oh right. You need to head back to Castle Mariano before Virizion finds out you're gone. We lied to him saying that you're on a morning stroll." Ian said.
"Oh man, I forgot. I should be back to the castle." Meloetta said.
"Castle Mariano? Where's that?" Keldeo asked with intrigue.
Ian and Anthony widen their eyes. Then Anthony elbow jabbed Ian in the gut.
"OW!"
"You idiot. That was suppose to be a secret." Anthony said.
"Guys, it's okay. We can trust Keldeo." Meloetta said.
"We can?" They both said.
"But he's a Sword of Justice. He could probably tell the other Swords about Castle Mariano and BOOM! We're done." Anthony said.
"We can trust him. Come on guys. It won't hurt." Meloetta said.
"I'm with Anthony on this one." Ian said.
Meloetta made cute faces and made some whimpering sounds.
"Grr. She's doing those faces again." Ian said.
Anthony held his head for a moment. Then he sighed.
"Alright, we'll show Keldeo Castle Mariano." Anthony said.
Keldeo nodded and said, "If you guys want to keep this castle a secret, then that's fine by me. You guys seem okay, and if it's that important that the castle be kept secret, then I guess I could keep one small secret from the other Swords of Justice. Take me to Castle Mariano!"
Ian and Anthony smiled.
"I guess we can trust him." Ian said.
"Alright, but this is the thing about the castle. Long time ago, it was built in the moor for luxury, but then it was mysteriously abandoned. Many years later, it disappeared from sight. So when Virizion found the castle, he and his other OCs, including us, cleaned up the place and made it home sweet home. Then the castle reappeared and every other Pokemon saw it. But the 3 Pokemon we don't want to discover the castle is the Swords of Justice." Anthony explained.
"If the Swords finds Castle Mariano, they'll probably try and take it down and we don't want that." Ian said.
Keldeo tilted his head in confusion. "Why would they do that?"
"Think about this. Who would build a giant castle in the forest? Don't you find that strange?" Anthony asked.
Keldeo did think about this, and then nodded. "Yeah. It does kind of have 'evil lair' written all over it."
"Exactly. When Virizion found the place, it was creepy. Skeletons, dry blood stains, cobwebs, and for some reason, horrific pictures of Freddy Krueger. Either it was raided by thugs or it was an evil lair." Ian said.
"So when Virizion cleaned it up, he made it his home for him and us." Anthony said.
"Not to mention, he also turned it into his kind of luxury. So he turned the castle from evil lair to home sweet home." Ian said.
"Awesome! I'd love to meet this other Virizion some time," Keldeo said.
"Oh he's really nice. You'll love him. Just don't get to his bad side or you'll get a lot of yelling. He's frightening when he's angry." Anthony said.
"Oh I've seen his bad side. It wasn't pretty." Meloetta nervously said.
"That's because you and Damian were bickering and arguing with each other that he finally snaps." Ian said.
Keldeo chuckled and shook his head. "You know, I'm not even gonna ask. How about I go meet all your new friends, Meloetta. What do you say?"
Meloetta smiles.
"I say let's go." Meloetta grabs Keldeo's left hoof and pulls him forward.
"Oh boy." Ian and Anthony said simultaneously as they followed Keldeo and Meloetta.
