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 8- Is Pokemosh by Virizion 2.6 GOOD?

tinyurl: od3343n

Keldeo stood smiling on his rock platform in the Moor of Icirrus and proudly wearing the Black Belt Meloetta had given him. "It's me! Keldeo the Critic! I review it so you don't have to."

"Let's talk about Smosh."

. . . .

Keldeo sighed, "Yeah, I know what the title said, but I think it goes without saying that we need to talk about Smosh first."

The instrumental to Smosh's Legend of Zelda Rap played in the background as Keldeo spoke.

"Smosh is a web-based American sketch comedy show starring the duo of of Ian Andrew Hecox and Anthony Padilla, as well as several other co-stars on all their channels. They cover a variety of topics. Video games, popular culture, even mundane things like birthday parties."

Keldeo rubbed his chin and said, "You know. . . you could say that Smosh is a show about nothing-."

"SHUT-UP!"

Keldeo jumped with fright. "Gah! Sorry, sorry! I wasn't trying to insult the show. What I meant was that Ian and Anthony could take mundane things or normal things in popular culture and blow them up into something hilarious. The video 'EVERY BIRTHDAY EVER' is a perfect example of that."

Keldeo nodded, "But of course, Smosh does make videos about defined topics, like the awesome Legend of Zelda Rap and the Pokemon in Real Life videos. And after their feature length movie, it's clear that Smosh really is a successful and funny series."

Keldeo turned thoughtful and said, "But the question here today is whether or not Pokemosh is as successful as the series that inspired it."

Pokemosh

By: Virizion 2.6

In a normal Pokemon town, 2 Pokemon named Ian and Anthony tried to live a normal life in the Pokemon world, but their life is not what anybody expect. They encounter so many random and abnormal events, weird things, and strange/weird Pokemon. Watch them handle their problems their way in Pokemosh. Also, ask them anything as long as they're appropriate in Lunchtime with Pokemosh.

Keldeo stared for a bit, then said, "Well, how convenient! Our Pokemon characters are named Ian and Anthony too! What a coincidence!"

"Well, anyway, Ian the Lucario and Anthony the Zoroark are the perfect characters for a show like this. And it is a welcome change to see a fanfic with a Lucario and a Zoroark who are not opposite genders for the sake of a cliche shipping story.

Ding!

No offense to "Dimensional War" by OseanSoldier intended.

Keldeo chuckled awkwardly and said, "What I mean is, it's basically a buddy comedy, and it follows the format of Smosh pretty well. The first two episodes have been out for a while. The first episode, 'Tayasui Sketches Magic,' is absolutely HILARIOUS!"

In Anthony's house, Anthony the Zoroark was jumping as high as he could to the ceiling, but he couldn't reach it.

Ian the Lucario was just sitting on a chair, playing on his iPad game called Tayasui Sketches.

"I can use a little help here." Anthony said, slightly frustrated.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on. I'm just drawing something right now." Ian said as he started drawing.

"Now let's see if I can draw someone falling off a ladder."

"Arghh. Fine, if you're not going to help me get the pizza off the ceiling, I'll do it myself." Anthony said as he walked away. Then Anthony came back with a ladder.

"You need to stop throwing wild pizza parties because it's really starting to become a problem." Anthony said as he started walking up the ladder.

"I mean, look at that exchange. First it makes you wonder what the heck is going on, then your mind starts making its own assumptions that get funnier and funnier the more you think about it," Keldeo said with a big grin.

"And the really funny part is that this doesn't even have anything to do with the main story line!"

"Okay. You might think I'm crazy, but every time I draw something on Tayasui Sketches, it makes it happen in reality." Ian explains.

(Inspirational music starts)

"And it's extremely dangerous." Anthony said.

"You're probably right. This is intense power. We can't use it for willy nilly stuff." Ian said.

"And with great power..."

"Comes great responsibility." Ian finished.

Ian and Anthony stared at each other for a few seconds, then they started laughing their heads off.

(Inspirational music ends)

Ian's hand was on his face and Anthony was banging the table.

"Ha. Yeah, right. Let's go mess with some Pokemon." Anthony said as he walked out of the house.

"Okay, now we gotta read the story to see what these guys plan on doing. And it's not like they're jerks or anything. They're just two normal guys who just want to have fun. It's not like they're Legendaries who have responsibilities," Keldeo frowned grouchily, "Like a certain Legendary trio of beasts that fail as Legendaries on so many levels . . ."

Keldeo shook it off and continued, "Anyway, like I was saying, the second episode is a Q and A where they answer your questions. This would be dull, luckily they manage to work in a clever framing device before hand."

"I thought we agreed on some burgers." Ian said.

"No. You did. I didn't. I said that we should go get some Japanese, but then you assumed I wanted burgers." Anthony stated.

"So how are we going to figure out what we're going to get?"

"I do have a coin. We can use that or we can do a 'Grass, Fire, Water' to settle this. And in case you guys are wondering, 'Grass, Fire, Water' is like 'Rock, Paper, Scissors,' but more of a Pokemon way." Anthony explains.

"Well I say a coin flip." Ian remarked.

"I say that too. Alright." Anthony takes out a coin from his wallet. "I call Heads."

"Fine. I'll be Tails. 2 out of 3." Ian stated.

"Deal." Anthony flips the coin. The coin lands on Heads.

"Argh!" Ian uttered.

Anthony smirks as he picks up the coin and flips it again. This time, it landed on Tails.

"Seems like we're even. Last one decides the food we eat." Anthony stated. He then flips the coin. The coin lands on Heads.

"Looks like the coin has made it's choice."

"Aw dang it." Ian exclaimed.

"Hey don't worry. Soon, you'll be eating some chow mein." Anthony smiled.

"They aren't telling any jokes here, but just seeing them decide what to eat is entertaining because these guys likable, relate-able, and know how to balance out the craziness. We get to see what Ian and Anthony are really like instead of only knowing them as performers," Keldeo explained, "This is what I meant when I said it could be considered at least partially to be show about nothing. In between wild and crazy randomness, we have these scenes of just the characters hanging out and reacting to their surroundings. It's really clever once you think about it."

"And we have our Japanese food. Man, this bag is heavy. Did you order a bowl of white rice?" Anthony asked.

"What can I say? I like the rice they make. Don't judge me." Ian answered.

"How am I even…? I'm not judging you. I was just asking." Anthony stated.

Keldeo let out a spurt of laughter, "Alright, why does he like plain white rice? It's just so random and funny."

Keldeo smiled and said, "But most importantly, we know that our stars aren't morons."

"As you can see, Ian can be a little bit of an idiot at some times. At least he's not completely stupid or I'll be like 'what the heck is wrong with him?'" Anthony stated as he took another bite of his chow mein.

"If I was completely stupid, I could be like Patrick Star from Spongebob." Ian said.

"Nah, you would be more like Ed from Ed Edd 'n' Eddy because you're strong, but occasionally a complete idiot." Anthony explained.

"I guess that would make sense, although Patrick is also a strong yet idiotic character, but he's also a very gluttonous eater. I mean, for crying out loud, he can eat many things. Krabby Patties, Snail food, giant wads of bubble gum, ice cream, and heck, even inedible objects like a tire. No wonder the guy is a big tub of pink." Ian explained.

"Yeah. That is a bit of an understatement. I can find more idiots in the cartoon world, like Peter Griffin, Billy, Homer Simpson, and a few more." Anthony listed.

"Seems legit." Ian said as he ate another spoonful of rice.

"You know, just talking about the idiot characters in some cartoons makes me wonder, how come they don't get any smarter?" Anthony wondered.

"Let's see, if they became smarter, they will lose character and fans will start complaining." Ian replied.

"Yeah you're right."

"Now that was actually some of the smartest dialogue I've heard in a while," Keldeo said.

Keldeo shifted his weight in readiness and said, "Alright, that's enough introductions. I think it's time to get to the main event. The third episode of Pokemosh. The one I was asked to review. The Pokemon Game Bang exclusive."

A First-Person view was speeding by some gaming consoles. Classics to Moderns. The speeding stopped at a giant Pokeball as the Pokemosh Crew jumped out, along with giant letters spelling out,

Pokemosh Game Bang

"Well, this promises to be good, so let's dive right in!" Keldeo said with excitement.

"GAME BANG!"

"What is up everyone? We got the whole Pokemosh Crew right here." Jovenshire stated.

"Well not everyone here is a Crew member, but she's one of our closest friends. So here she is, ladies and gentlemen, introducing Martini Roving." Anthony introduced.

A fairly youngish Victini waved next to them, wearing a teal hoodie & navy blue skirt. She grinned slightly and looks at the camera. "Martini here!"

"So Martini? Can you tell us a bit about yourself?" Sohinki asked.

"Well, I have a sister, 2 brothers, & a loving mom. I'm also in a relationship." She replied.

"I also have something in common with Applejack!"

Ding!

Think about it . . . think of the 18th and 21st Amendments. . .

"Well I guess that's enough of Martini. And now to the Game Bang. Wes, would you like to tell us what we're playing?" Lazercorn asked.

"We're playing Heads Up!" Wes shouted excitedly.

"Now what Heads Up is, it's a trivia game where one person holds the answer while the other person helps guess the answer for the Pokemon holding the answer. There's different categories and the game will display different answers for the guesser to figure out." Ian explains.

"So basically, Game Bang is just like what it sounds. A game show featuring the Pokemosh crew. Is it a funny game show?"

"Aren't we forgetting something?" Lazercorn asked.

"Oh right, the Punishment." Anthony exclaimed. "Sohinki, can you tell us what the Punishment is?"

"The Punishment is that losing team will have to be on a headstand while eating a head of cabbage." Sohinki explained.

"Oh...oh no." Joven sighed.

The Victini grunted & sighs. "Welp..."

"That's seems a little suitable. So what do you say we get started?" Anthony questioned.

"GAME BANG!"

"Yes," Keldeo said cheekily in answer to his own question.

"Although, I do have to point out that this could have been a bit more fun for the readers if the answers were hidden from us too."

The tablet shows a name.

"Politoed"

She started to think a bit.

"Hmmm… it's a Water type!" she hinted.

"You don't say?" Sohinki jokingly said.

"Um..."

"Give more detail. Tell her what he looks like. What color it is? What ability it has?" Joven advised.

"Hehe.." she chuckled nervously. "It's like a green frog, with a yellow spiral on its stomach.."

"Politoed!" Mari shouted.

"Yes!" They all shouted as Mari tilted the tablet, correcting the answer.

"Absol"

Martini smirks again. "Dark type, known to warn others of disasters, & has a Mega Evolution!"

"Uh..."

"COME ON!" Joven yells desperately.

"You really don't know it?!" Anthony questioned as he laughs.

"I have bad memory. I don't know it." Mari passes.

Martini sputters a bit. "I-I thought most people would know it.."

"I know it." Ian exclaimed.

"What was it?" Mari asked.

"It was Absol." Lazercorn answered.

"Oh, I never seen one. My bad." Mari laughed.

"Seriously, it seems like a missed opportunity to make it seem almost interactive for the readers."

Keldeo narrowed his eyes and said, "And no one better complain that I'm not describing the other characters. If you want to know, go and read Virizion 2.6's stories. Better yet, read the Top 11 Pokemon Battle Themes editorial on Meloetta the Chick."

Keldeo then lightened up and said, "Although I do have to admit that not even I was expecting Pokemosh's Lazercorn to be a Shiny Keldeo."

"Ready Lazercorn?" Sohinki asked.

Lazercorn smiles and jumps around. "So ready!"

"Why are you suddenly acting like Pinkie Pie?" Wes asked.

"I'm this confident." Lazercorn replied.

Martini chuckled lightly. "Oh Lazercorn, you slightly insane Keldeo!"

Keldeo nodded in fake graveness, "Yeah, really, he is legitimately slightly insane. Watch out for him."

"But anyway, you might think that watching a bunch of Pokemon play a game show where you get to see the answers would be boring. But if you think that, then you must be forgetting who we're dealing with here, and what this show is all about! This is Pokemosh! Where characters actions and reactions are either taken up to eleven or given such focus that you can't hep put laugh at them or appreciate how likable they all are."

"Magikarp"

"Oh. The stupidest choice one fan base makes. It evolves into a ferocious beast." Lazercorn hinted.

"Um...Dragonite?"

"Nope."

Martini had meanwhile found an unopened bag of M&M's on the ground, & is silently eating them.

Keldeo pointed a forehoof and said, "Okay, first of all, that's impossibly cute. Second of all, the idea that Martini randomly found a bag of M&M's on the ground is catches you ff guard. And third, is this a reference to the evil popcorn guy from Free Willy? Like, is she trying to psyche them out or something? Even if I'm wrong and reading to deep into it, it's still funny!"

"And another thing Pokemosh is good at is escalating things. Things end up building and becoming dramatic when you least expect. Like this scene where the third team gets stuck on Yvetal."

"A big Pokemon that takes life away." Joven hinted.

"Umm..."

10 seconds left

"C'mon Wes..." Martini muttered.

"Um...Giratina?"

"No!" Joven shouts.

"What?!" Lazercorn shouts as he laughs.

A picture of Giratina taking life away appears

"Not even close!" Anthony shouts out.

"Drowzee?"

A picture of Drowzee taking life away appears

"No!" The Crew shouts.

"You really don't know it?!" Joven questionably shouts.

"Dusknoir?"

"Are you-"

A picture of Dusknoir taking life away appears

"ARGH!" Everyone yells.

"CAN YOU NOT-" Martini fumed.

0 seconds left. TIME'S UP!

"Wait. It's Yveltal!" Wes shouts.

"Hehe. Too late." Lazercorn uttered.

WAH-WAH-WAH-WAAAAAAAAHHHH!

Keldeo smiled and shrugged.

"We even get some variety when the next round changes from Pokemon to movies."

"Titanic"

"Okay. This is about a famous boat that sank after crashing into an iceberg." Mari describes.

"That's Titanic. Now don't mention the Love Theme from it or ELSE." Martini replied.

"Yeah, don't mention it. She's warning you." Wes jokes.

"Well it is Titanic. You're right Martini." Mari said.

And Martini corrects her answer once more.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl"

"Okay then. This is about a pirate-"

BUZZ!

"Ah darn it! I said the name!" Mari shouts.

Keldeo smiled and held up a forehoof, "Alright. I'm gonna stop right here. I really don't want to spoil the conclusion to this episode. I also don't want to spoil the utter hilariousness of the third and final round. I'm pretty sure we can all see that Pokemosh has some of the greatest jokes and a colorful of cast of characters."

Keldeo nodded slowly and said, "However, I know that Pokemosh, and Smosh, are not for everyone. Humor is subjective, and I'd imagine that there are a bunch of people who don't like their style of humor. That's fine by me. But I strongly suggest that, even if you never liked Smosh, that you give Pokemosh by Virizion 2.6 a chance."

"And if you happen to be a hater of Smosh and just wants to flame, then I have only one thing to say to you."

"SHUT-UP!"

Keldeo grinned and said, "I'm Keldeo the Critic, and I-"

Keldeo stopped and thought for a moment, "You know, Halloween is next week. Maybe I should do a special Halloween review. Something really scary. Maybe something about a killer? Hmmm, now I wish I hadn't rushed to review Blooming Late. What story am I gonna review now? I wonder if-"

BZZZZZZZZZZT!

The video switched to a man with tattooed and scarred arms, a golden earring in his right ear, and longish blonde hair with bangs dyed green.

He reloaded his gun and aimed it at the camera. "Thanks for watching. Goodnight."

He shot the camera and it all went static.
