Ode to Pokemon the movie 2000 by WyldClaw

Plot: this is an ode poem I wrote in July 2018 about the second Pokemon movie, Pokemon The Movie 2000 and the inspiration it gave me to write the WCverse on . Written on the eighteenth anniversary of the film. I own nothing mentioned. Enjoy

I can't believe it's already been

Eighteen years since "Pokèmon the movie 2000" appeared on the big screen.

I was totally glued to my chair

When the film began.

Nothing else mattered aside from the movie playing in the theater.

When Lawrence captured Moltres after weakening it with ice

I knew that he was the perfect villain-blinded by his so-called 'destiny' and not at all nice.

I loved the 'welcome kiss' between Ash and Melody

As a devoted AAMLer, I laughed with glee as misty blushed as red as a Moltres

When melody told her 'not to get jealous'.

When the Pokèmon began acting strangely

I had a feeling that they knew something was up and somehow it was related to the Shamouti prophecy.

I laughed all the way down to my toes

When Jessie, meowth and James did the weight watchers line and the riff on their motto.

I loved the film so much that I bought it on DVD

But I didn't know how much it would influence my writing.

One day in fall 2002

I was thinking about how to have a sequel to it would be soo cool

I knew that in reality it could never be

But one day, an idea started to sprout inside my head

I began writing it out to make it a reality

Soon that little idea quickly spread

As did my confidence and courage too

For soon, it filed up over three files on my then rinky dinky AlphaSmart word processor-not one or two!

Recalling bits of the movie sure helped me

And before I knew it, my sequel story was a true reality.

In recent years I created a story set after P2K II

With a new allies, drama an evil OC villan, and AAML too

So on the film's eighteenth anniversary

I now must give major thanks to Satoshi Tajiri!
