Now don't get me wrong, I love that it's finally back but I can't help notice a few potential holes. This chapter's special guest comes from the mind of Noobdieshiiro.
"Long ago in a distant lan-," the voice began dramatically
"-Which land?" Hiiro Mizutani interjected disinterestedly.
"I...It's the Kalos region, we're setting it in the Kalos region," the producer deflated briefly before clearing his throat and assuming his dramatic voice once more.
"Hoopa, the portal master of darkness, unleashed calamity into the world. But a foolish samurai war-"
"-I'm not a samurai. If you wanted a samurai we actually have one. His name is literally Samurai! So why aren't you boring him or Duplica with this?" Hiiro glanced at the producer as one would a dust mote.
"B-both of them are currently busy on a very long mission," the producer explained.
"Lucky them" Hiiro huffed.
"Mr. Mizutani, please remember why you agreed to this. You wouldn't have to talk much, most of what you'd be doing on set would be what you already do when you practice in the training grounds. The fact that this show is starring the Black Blade will bring in the viewers and if this show does well then the hope is that it will help boost morale. Think of the soldiers, Hiiro. Think of the children," the producer implored.
Hiiro's glare smoldered for a few seconds until it softened with his sigh.
"I'm listening..."
"So a foolish swordsman wielding an Arcean sword-"
"-A what?"
"A blade forged by Arceus. We'll go into it in another episode, or we'll make it a magical blade. Anyway, we'll have scenes where you will be fighting Unbound Hoopa until you are standing over him with your blade ready to stab down,"
The producer paused as he mentally assumed the role once more.
"-But before the final blow is struck, I summoned a portal in time and flung him into-"
"Outer space," Hiiro finished, nodding sagely at the tactic.
"N-no, he flings you into the future," the producer sputtered.
"The fu-Wait what? Why? If he throws me into outer space I'll die immediately and he would win?"
"It's his character flaw."
"Being retarded?"
"Hubris! He wants to send you to a world where has already conquered everything in order to break your spirit, in a time where he had amassed enough resources to defeat you."
"Okay. A little roundabout but I get it. So the second I come out the other end of the portal, into the future, I die immediately then, right? This is gonna be a short show at least."
"Uh, no. We're still building the set but you land in a dystopic version the land you were just in and there are alien pokemon from other worlds that have come to earth and-"
"I don't get it. Why wait?"
"I'm sorry?"
"So I hop out the portal and he's already there. He gives me a second to see all the horror of the future...and then kills he me? It'd honestly be easier if he just made a portal that sent me into a magma vein or into the deepest parts of the ocean."
"He's not actually there when you arrive to the future," the producer confessed.
"Why wouldn't he be there at that exact moment? He's had all this time to prepare and finish me off while I'm tired from my last fight. Why wouldn't he take that opportunity? Does he want to die?"
"No of course he doesn't want to-he doesn't know where you are?"
Hiiro looked at the man before him as if he were crazier than Ho-oh and Uxie combined.
"But he would've-how could he not know exactly when and where I would...wait, if he has this power then couldn't he, before our battle even starts, make a portal to the past and kill me as a baby or punch my dad in the balls so hard he and the little sperm me dies? Couldn't future Hoopa tell past Hoopa about this whole issue and be done with me before I ever became a threat to him?"
"-there wouldn't a be a story if we did it this way."
"There already isn't a story!" Hiiro yelled before pinching the bridge of his nose and taking deep breaths. "Okay, let's assume that I even end up in the future and he's not there to immediately kill me and I have to go looking for him. Wouldn't I die before I even got to him?"
"Why would that be?"
"You mentioned that there were alien pokemon right? That means they probably brought with them a bunch of diseases and viruses that I don't have an immunity to, unlike the rest of the population that lives in that time. So the second I come into contact with any alien microbes I'm done for."
"Yes...well we're not getting into all of that we just yet."
"How many of these episodes will I actually be doing? When am I going to actually beat him?"
"Well we haven't actually slated that part to hap-wait! Where are you going? Wait! Hiiro, don't leave! Do-"
