Casting the Milestone!
(AUTHOR'S NOTE: This episode is dedicated to my 20th birthday!)
Narrator: Last time, our heroes went to Sam's Club for a new paragon chair for Faith but it wasn't long until the Miller Family met up with their old rival, Daruka the Eeveekyu. Now with her sights sighted on Terapagos and Mew, our heroes have to find a way to get the two ancient Pokémon before Lexie's final battle. In the meantime, they were going to celebrate Faith's 20th birthday.
(The scene changes to show Faith's dorm room, early in the morning. It was 4:59 AM. Soon, the clock reached 5:00 AM, the arrival of Faith's 20th birthday!)
Faith: [in his short-sleeved Flamigo-print nightgown] YES, YES, YES! It's here, it's here! It's finally here!
(Mordecai, wearing a long-sleeved blue and white-striped pajama shirt and pants, wakes up, moaning.)
Mordecai: Faith, what are you doing up so early? It's 5 in the morning. Some of us are trying to sleep.
Faith: Mordecai, today's my 20th birthday!
Mordecai: Stop screaming in my ears, Faith. What are you trying to do, make me deaf?!
Faith: [whispers] Sorry, Mordecai. TODAY'S MY BIRTHDAY!
Sharon: [opens the door] Good morning, Faith. Happy birthday, sweetheart.
Faith: Thanks, Mom.
(Faith goes into the living room, where Victoria, Lexie, Drew, Uncle Glen, Melissa, and the Warner siblings shouted.)
Yakko, Wakko, and Dot: Happy birthday, Faith!
Faith: You did all of this for me?
Dot: We wouldn't want you to be alone on your special day. And it's been a milestone since you were born.
Faith: Wha-?
Dot: A milestone is something that happens every 20 years, such as a person's birthday.
Wakko: Who knew you could learn a lot of stuff in only 20 years?
Yakko: I did.
Uncle Glen: Hiya, Faith!
Faith: Uncle Glen! [hugs her uncle]
Sharon: We're going to make this birthday the best birthday Faith has ever seen!
(Song: "The Challenge of Life")
"Rise if you're prepared for the challenge
(Rise to the challenge)
Rise if you're a champion at heart
(Rise to the challenge)
Take my hand, we'll train as one
And triumph together
(Rise to the challenge)
Nothing's gonna stand in our way
Stronger and stronger we'll
Rise to the challenge of
Life
Pokémon!"
(End of "The Challenge of Life")

Then, Dot, her Jigglypuff, and her Tinkatink appear.)
Faith and Mordecai: [both reading the title] "Casting the Milestone!"
Cyrano: Good morning, Ms. Faith.
Faith: Morning, Mr. Cyrano.
Cyrano: I've heard that today is your 20th birthday. Is that true?
Faith: Yes, today is my 20th birthday.
Cyrano: Good for you!
Sharon: Faith, because it's your birthday, I made something special for you.
Faith: Really, what is it?
(Sharon walks Faith to the table and pulls out a stack of delicious, moist s'mores pancakes.)
Sharon: S'mores pancakes, your favorite!
Faith: Mom, you know me all too well!
Sharon: [laughs] Thanks, dear.
Faith: You're welcome, Mom.
(After Faith eats her birthday breakfast, she goes outside to the Terarium, where she put on her magenta one-piece swim dress. She walks to the Coastal Biome.)
Mordecai: [in his orange floral swim shorts] So, Faith, what do you want to do for your 20th birthday?
Faith: I'm not sure yet.
Mordecai: You'll think of something eventually.
[Hawaiian music playing]
Faith: What's that sound?
(Mordecai and Faith peek into a shrub and find five Bellossom hula dancing in the sunlight.)
Mordecai: Are those Bellossom? [pulls out his Rotom Phone]
[Mordecai's Rotom Phone chimes]
Mordecai's Rotom Phone: "Bellossom, the Flower Pokémon. A Grass type. Bellossom is oftentimes attracted by sunlight after a heavy rainstorm and is known to gather in groups, performing a beautiful hula dance. As it becomes older, it will leave the forest it was born in and form groups with other Bellossom of its kind."
Faith: They're beautiful Pokémon.
(The leader of the Bellossom dancers saw Mordecai and Faith.)
Faith: Hello there.
Bellossom: Bellossom!
(Bellossom gives Faith and Mordecai each a grass skirt, a lei, and a flower crown.)
Faith: Looks like these Pokémon want us to do the hula with them.
Mordecai: Shall we dance the hula?
Faith: Let's shall!
(Faith and Mordecai put on their grass skirts over their swimsuits and their leis on their necks. As they adjust their flower crowns on their heads, they swayed their arms to the sound of Hawaiian drums and ukuleles.)
Faith: Who knew the hula would be a relaxing dance?
Mordecai: I know the hula was your favorite dance so I decided to ask the Bellossom if they could do a hula dance on your birthday.
Faith: Aww, that's sweet.
(After dancing the hula, Mordecai and Faith take off their grass skirts.)
Faith: That was a fun hula dance. Thanks for the dance, Bellossom.
Bellossom: [waves] Bellossom!
(Faith and Mordecai walk around the biome. They find Geoff, who was looking for a Pokémon.)
Mordecai: Hi, Geoff. What are you looking for?
Geoff: Hi, Mordecai. I'm trying to find a Seviper in the Coastal Biome.
(A Seviper pops out of a bush.)
Faith: What's that? [pulls out her Rotom Phone]
[Faith's Rotom Phone chimes]
Faith's Rotom Phone: "Seviper, the Fang Snake Pokémon. A Poison type. Seviper uses its sword-like tail to slash its enemies and cover them with its poison. It's known to be enemies with Zangoose."
Geoff: Go, Poké Ball!
(Geoff catches the wild Seviper in a Poké Ball.)
Geoff's Rotom Phone: [chimes] Congratulations! Seviper has been registered to your Pokédex!
Geoff: Yes, I got myself a Seviper!
Geoff's Houndoom: [cheering] Houndoom!
Mordecai: Where's your mom, Faith?
Faith: She left for work and Drew's in school so for the next 8 hours, it'll be just you and me, Mordecai. Just you and me.
Mordecai: If you say so, Faith.
Zangoose: [pops out of the shrub] Zangoose!
Faith: It's Seviper's arch-enemy, Zangoose!
Geoff: Zangoose? [pulls out his Rotom Phone]
[Geoff's Rotom Phone chimes]
Geoff's Rotom Phone: "Zangoose, the Cat Ferret Pokémon. A Normal type. Zangoose usually walks on all four feet, but when angered, it'll get up on its hind legs and attack with its sharp claws. It's said that Zangoose battled Seviper for many years and when it sees a Seviper, it'll attack it without warning."
Geoff: Go, Poké Ball!
(The Poké Ball captured the wild Zangoose.)
Geoff's Rotom Phone: [chimes] Congratulations! Zangoose has been registered to your Pokédex!
Geoff: I did it!
Houndoom: Houndoom!
Faith: [sends out her Eevee and Bulbasaur] Eevee, Bulbasaur. Come on out!
[Poké Balls open up]
Eevee and Bulbasaur: Bulbasaur! Veevee!
Faith: Bulbasaur, Eevee, would you guys like to walk around for a bit?
Bulbasaur: [nods in agreement] Bulbasaur!
Faith: Great, let's go!
(Faith and Mordecai find a tropical jungle.)
Faith: Is this a tropical jungle oasis?
Mordecai: Sure looks like it.
Faith: Come on, let's get inside!
(Faith and Mordecai enter the jungleoasis. As they approached the vast oasis, hundreds of Squawkabilly sang.)
Faith: This looks like the perfect place to relax.
Geoff: You said it, Faith!
(From out of nowhere, a parrot-like Pokémon perches on a tree.)
Faith: What is that thing?
Chatot: What is that thing? [squawks]
Mordecai: Why is that Pokémon copying what Faith's saying?
Chatot: Why is that Pokémon copying what Faith's saying? [squawks]
Faith: I better check it out on Rotom. [pulls out her Rotom Phone]
[Faith's Rotom Phone chimes]
Faith's Rotom Phone: "Chatot, the Music Note Pokémon. A Normal and Flying type. Chatot is able to copy anything being said from people and Pokémon, then uses the words it learns as a way to attack. It keeps in touch with the beat by flicking its tail feathers like a metronome."
Faith: So you're the one who keeps copying what I said.
Mordecai: Stop it, please!
Chatot: Stop it, please!
(Geoff throws a Poké Ball at the wild Chatot, capturing it.)
Geoff's Rotom Phone: [chimes] Congratulations! Chatot has been registered to your Pokédex!
Mordecai: Thank goodness that bird has been finally captured. I was getting tired of its constantly annoying chats.
?: Mordecai!
(Mordecai sees a familiar yellow moose, which happened to be Moose Augustus Moose.)
Mordecai: Moose, what are you doing here? I thought you were setting up Faith's birthday party.
Moose: I finished early with help from Professor Sada and Turo.
Faith: Moose, why do you have your floral swim shorts on?
Moose: It's starting to get warm again so now that it's in the 70s during the day, I can go for a refreshing swim in either the pool or the ocean at the Coastal Biome.
Mordecai: [to Faith] Faith, would you give me and Moose some privacy for a bit?
Faith: Sure thing, Mordecai. [goes into the oasis-like pool]
(Moose looks over at Mordecai's face. The yellow, child-like moose saw the happiness of the blue jay's face.)
Moose: What do you want to talk about, Mordecai?
Mordecai: Nothing, I just wanted to know what kind of cake you're going to bake for Faith.
Moose: Well, I've thought about it for a few weeks so I've decided to bake an OREO cake for Faith since she has this weird obsession for OREOs.
Mordecai: Nice, but why are you here, Moose?
Moose: It's already 2:00 PM and that means Sharon's already home.
Faith: Mom's home already?
Moose: Yup, she wanted to spend your 20th birthday so she decided to end her workday earlier than she usually does.
Faith: Hooray!
Moose: Follow me!
Faith: Maybe after a swim.
Moose: [laughs] Good thing I have my favorite red floral swim shorts.
(Moose goes for a swim in the oasis. As they swam, they had a wonderful time. The trio splashed water in their faces, floated on the flower-like inner tubes in the water, and tried to hold their breath underwater for a long period of time, which Moose decided to do. After swimming, the trio dried themselves off.)
Moose: That was a lovely swim.
Mordecai: It sure was!
Faith: Come on, let's go back to the dorm room.
(As Faith puts her sandals back on, she wraps her towel over her soaking-wet swimsuit, giving her towel the appearance of a sarong.)
Moose: [laughs] I didn't know you wore sarongs, Faith.
Faith: I like to wrap the lower half of one-piece swimsuits over my towel so it gives my towel the appearance of a sarong.
Moose: For once, I'm not embarrassed of wearing a bikini over a sarong.
[Wind blows]
Faith: What's that sound?
(Three green leaves twirled around a warm breeze and as Faith looks up, she could hear singing.)
Faith: Is that… music I hear?
(Relic Song – Pokémon Black and White OST)
Faith: Could it be?
(The Pokémon floats down to Faith, and the Pokémon she saw was a Meloetta.)
Faith: What's that? [pulls out her Rotom Phone]
Faith's Rotom Phone: "Meloetta, the Melody Pokémon. A Normal and Psychic type. Meloetta has the power to make anyone feel either happy or depressed with its songs. The melodies it created have been inspired by people through music and art, and can be used to help Meloetta control anyone who hear its singing."
Meloetta: [greeting Faith] Mello!
Faith: Why, hello there.
Meloetta: [giggles] Melo!
Mordecai: We'd love to stay and chat with you, Meloetta,but we gotta get back to the dorm.
(Meloetta nods its head as Faith and Mordecai go back to the Terarium. At first it was bad, but now it understands why Faith and Mordecai are heading back to the Terarium. The Melody Pokémon floats to the Terarium, where Pinky, Brain, Yakko, Wakko, Dot, Moose, Zee, Buffy, Rigby, Sharon, and Drew were setting up Faith's party.)
(Back at the Terarium…)
Faith: [opens the door] Hello?
[Door opens]
Pinky, Brain, Yakko, Wakko, Dot, Moose, Zee, Buffy, Rigby, Sharon, and Drew: Surprise!
Faith: A party… for me?
Sharon: That's right, sweetpea. We wanted to get you out of the Terarium for a few hours so we decided to make this surprise party for me. And we made you your special birthday cake.
(Moose brings out a forklift, containing a humongous OREO cake.)
Faith: That's one big cake.
Bulbasaur: Bulba…
Eevee: [licks the frosting off the cake] Vee!
(Sharon lights the 2 and the 0 candles and everyone was about to sing "Happy Birthday" to Faith. Mordecai arrives with Rigby with the duo in formalwear. Mordecai wore a long-sleeved grey tuxedo, black bow-tie, and grey pants while Rigby wore a strapless blue dress and white dress gloves.)
Mordecai: Rigby, I told you to wear a tuxedo, not a dress.
Rigby: This is all they had at Woman's Wearhouse.
Mordecai: Oh, I forgot. You accidentally went to Women's Wearhouse instead of Men's Wearhouse.
Rigby: That's all right though.
Mordecai: We're gathered here to honor 20 years of Faith living through the good times and the bad times. They were the best of times; they were the worst of times.
[Feet approach platform]
Mordecai: Ladies, gentlemen, and Pokémon, this song goes to the love of classical music Faith had for 20 years now.
[Baton taps on stand]
Rigby: Faith, here's your party dress.
Faith: Thanks.
(A magical swirl surrounds Faith. Instead of a swimsuit, Faith wore a strapless pink dress with white dress gloves that shined as bright as a Clamperl's own pearl.)
Faith: I look… beautiful!
[Beethoven's "9th Symphony" plays]
Pinky: [singing] "On the date of March 25th, 2004,
In a Pokémon Center near Solaceon Town.
An Eevee named Faith was born.
Brain: [sings with Pinky] After living in the middle of Sinnoh,
With her younger brother Drew for almost 4 years.
Sharon and Tony moved to Petalburg City, Hoenn,
Where they've met with nice neighbors.
["9th Symphony" continues]
Mordecai: [whispers] Kricketune, your cue!
(The five Kricketune crossed their knife-like arms to the sound of the symphony.)
Brain: [continues singing] But… the… story of Faith isn't over yet,
There's lots of things we have to see.
Everything in two decades,
Will be explained through this movie.
From battling to Pokémon Contests,
Are sights to be held, indeed.
Pinky: I hope you enjoy what you will see,
'Cause this girl has really big dreams.
(A movie shows Faith battling other Trainers in the past 5 seasons of this fanfic series. Faith fought against Daruka with Uncle Glen, battled against a wild Sharpedo, started her journey in Paldea, went to the Terarium for the first time, returned to Unova, became a Pokémon Coordinator, and various other tasks she did over the years.)
Dot: [singing] Catching wild Pokémon,
From Bulbasaur to Tera-pagos!
She's the greatest woman you'll ever meet,
"Cause she has all kinds of ammmmigos.
From 2004 to 2024,
Life gets better for her than before,
Now it's time to celebrate 20 years of fame and fortune.
Pinky: Yes, we'd like to present our special guest,
The one who's always the best.
Please welcome Faith Elizabeth Miller,
Hope your birthday is… a blast!
(End of "Ode to Faith.")
Brain: Pinky, could you stop singing, please?
Pinky: [holding a high note] Bllllllaaaaaaaassssstt!
(Pinky's high note was so loud, it caused the camera to break, creating a fourth wall break.)
Pinky: Oh, no. I broke the camera!
Brain: I don't think that was the camera, Pinky.
("Who's that Pokémon?" segment)
Faith and Mordecai: Who's that Pokémon?
(A silhouette shows a picture of a singer-like Pokémon.)
…
(Moments later, the silhouette disappears, revealing Meloetta.)
Faith and Mordecai: It's… Meloetta!
Meloetta: Meloetta!
(End of "Who's that Pokémon?" segment)
(Later, Faith was shown opening her birthday gifts.)
Faith: Mordecai, is this… a new Mega Stone case?
Mordecai: Well, you need the extra hand with carrying stones.
Faith: Thanks.
(Mordecai gives Faith an Eeveeite and a Salamencite.)
Faith: An Eeveeite and a Salamencite?! Best birthday ever!
Mordecai: I'd knew you'd love my gift, Faith.
Faith: Thanks, Mordecai. [hugs the blue jay]
Uncle Glen: Enjoying yourself, Miss Faith?
Faith: I sure am, Uncle Glen. I'm so glad you could come to my huge party. To be honest, I prefer huge parties than small parties - more excitement that way.
Glen: [laughs] Me, too.
Drew: Faith, guess what I found?
(Drew pulls off the white cloth off of the bottle, revealing it to be a 40-gallon bottle of alcohol-free margarita mix.)
Drew: It's a bottle of alcohol-free margarita mix.
Sharon: Drew!
Drew: Sorry, Mom. You know how I get about birthday presents.
Sharon: [to Faith] I even got you plenty of cheery and key lime-flavored soda for your margarita mixes.
(Faith was given more and more birthday presents from her friends and family. She was given a
Sharon: Faith, I've saved these two gifts for you. You've been working so hard over the past month that I've decided to reward you with these.
(Faith tears off the wrapping paper and her eyes widen as soon as she finds a new smartphone case and a new smartphone.)
Faith: A new smartphone with a waterproof case? This is awesome!
Sada: I'll help you set up your smartphone, Faith. In the meantime, why don't you hang out with your friends?
Faith: Thanks, Professor Sada.
(Two Poké Balls- one featuring Woody's Koraidon and Geoff's Miraidon – popped out with party hats on.)
Faith: Thanks for the party, guys.
Narrator: Now that's what I'd like to call a party animal! Faith was able to have the time of her life on her 20th birthday. Even though her birthday may be over, she'll be faced with more challenges as she gets older. Stay tuned for more adventures in Unova, as the journey continues!
(To Be Continued…)
THE END!
Another fan-made episode finally complete!
(March 2nd, 2024): With my 20th birthday coming up in the next 23 days, things will change. Get ready to have a good time with a pack of Grookey in "Grookey See, Grookey Do!"
