Please Read and Review.
(Inside, a couple leads Ash and Ritchie up a flight of stairs for their first plumbing job).
Homeowner Woman: The drip is right upstairs at the end of the hall.
Homeowner Man: Can you fix it? (Ash and Ritchie are feeling noticeably confident in their skills responding to Homeowners Concerns in hiring them).
Ash: Very Confident, sir. (Then the Female Homeowner asked them).
Homeowner Woman: You will be careful about makin' a mess? (Ritchie reassures the woman of her concerns responding with).
Ritchie: Ma'am, I assure you; We do not make messes, we fix them. (Ritchie Laughs at this before he Gasps in shock of what he saw in front of him. It was just a Kindly looking Rockruff who was sitting in the upstairs hallway with an Oran Berry in his mouth. Rockruff was sitting on an Ottoman meant for Pet Pokémon, on the wall behind the Rockruff was a stylized painting of Pokémon hunting Ducks in a video game-esque manner. The woman affectionately pets Rockruff, as she introduces him to the Plumber Brothers).
Homeowner Woman: That is Rockruff. (The Woman gently removes Rockruff's Oran Berry to continue affectionately petting/playing with him, dropping the berry to the floor. Then she gasps happily telling the brothers). He likes you! (Then Rockruff continues licking her affectionately while Ritchie is not as enthusiastic about Rockruff's display of affection, as he walks by and accidentally steps on something causing him to gasp in shock. Then Ritchie lifts his foot up to see that he stepped on what was now a Splattered Oran Berry that belonged to Rockruff. Seeing his precious Oran Berry splattered, Rockruff stares at Ritchie angrily. Seeing this causes Ritchie to chuckle nervously).
Ritchie: Hey… (Ritchie continues to laugh nervously as he walks away towards the bathroom. Rockruff glares at him while licking the woman's face while she is oblivious to Rockruff's angry growling, as he shoots a Death Glare towards Ritchie as his Owner continued sweet-talking him).
Homeowner Woman: Mama, mama, mama love ya, baby! (Ritchie could easily tell that Rockruff was taking him accidentally destroying his Oran Berry very personally going from a lovable Pet Pokémon to a vicious, relentless Pet Pokémon out for blood. And Ritchie was clearly looking scared of Rockruff knowing that he pushed Rockruff's Berserk Button. Then Ash comes chuckling nervously before he pulls Ritchie into the bathroom).
(They begin to examine the dripping sink; with Ash looking at the sink while Ritchie ends up squirted in the eye from a minor opening in the pipes beneath the Sink).
Ash: Wrench? (Ritchie hands Ash the tool he needs, twirling it around in his hand, before using it to fix the needed pipes. Then he used a second wrench in the task of fixing the pipes, by using them to Tighten the pipes, thus stopping the leak. After giving the pipes a gentle tap, he hears a *Clink* noise. Realizing that they have fixed it, Ash smiles at Ritchie telling him). Mm-hmm. And our first job is complete. (Ash tosses the wrenches he used into their Bag of Plumbing tools. Then to celebrate their successful first job, Ash and Ritchie do their special high five complete with a clapping ritual before shouting in unison).
Ash and Ritchie: Ay! (As they begin to leave, with Ritchie grabbing their bag of tools, they see Rockruff sitting in the bathroom doorway, causing them to stop in shock and fear letting out a shriek. Especially with how they see that Rockruff has an angry look on his face).
Ritchie: Rockruff is here. (And he had yet another Death Glare on his face. Then he spits the crushed Oran Berry at them, enters and kicks the door shut behind him with an audible growl coming from him. Ritchie was clearly scared of what Rockruff would do to them as he tried to calm him down). Hey there, friend. (Ritchie Chuckles nervously before Rockruff attacks them with his Tackle attack but brothers dodge him at the last second, causing Rockruff to instead hit the sink, as Ash slips and falls into the shower as Rockruff turns his head towards Ritchie who screams to his brother for help while trying to keep Rockruff at bay with a Toilet Brush). Ash, Do something! (Ash throws a shampoo bottle at Rockruff, which only angers Rockruff even more. Especially with how he turns and attacks Ash, trying to Bite him but Ash manages to maneuver himself to avoid taking direct harm from Rockruff. Ash gently kicks Rockruff away from him, to give a moment to get to his feet and dodge more of Rockruff's attacks before he goes and backflips over Rockruff, before saying in a moment of Slow motion).
Ash: (Slow motion). Mamma Mia! (Ash lands outside the shower stall and closes the door, trapping Rockruff inside. Leaving Rockruff to lean up against the glass, still looking quite ticked off with his Slasher Smile. But knowing that Rockruff was unable to escape for now, Ash breathes a Sighs of relief. Ash has seen Rockruff, and usually they were Big Friendly Pokémon, but this Rockruff specifically was an unusual aggressive and belligerent one. And it was clearly taking his Misplaced Retribution for Ritchie splattering his Oran Berry (which was an accident), and yet Rockruff was taking his vendetta out on them both. Ash and Ritchie were simply glad that this Rockruff was not a Ghost Type Pokémon, because that would make this situation worse. Just the mere thought of it gave Ritchie vibes he could describe as, "A Polterpup in a Haunted Mansion with a Dark Moon". But then Ritchie gets Ash's attention with something that he finds concerning).
Ritchie: Uh, Ash? (Ash looks and sees that Ritchie is gesturing to the sink, that they just fixed. They saw that the faucet was beginning to shake violently before moving a bit, causing water to burst outward. If that was not bad enough, next the tiles in the wall began to crack with the tiles chipping off, then the pipes under the floor begin shaking and bending as the Opera Song, "L'Amour Est Un Oiseau Rebelle (Habanera)" began playing. Then a Pipe bursts shooting water that sends a floor tile into the air, causing Ash to panic, screaming as steps on the tile forcing it back down to fix the problem. But this only causes another burst to occur as another floor tile goes flying into the air, until Ash stomps his foot on the tile hoping to Seal the Breach going on here. But then Ritchie Screams). Ah! (Ritchie realizes that an open tile in the floor has a spurt of water hitting him in the place between his legs before he stomped on the tile with his foot. He was thinking this whole thing was getting crazy, they fixed the leaky bathroom faucet, with no issue initially, but then their tussle with Rockruff ended up damaging the plumbing, and caused more leaks throughout the bathroom that they will now have to try and physically seal. But he was sure that there was no chance it could get any worse now. But then he was tragically proven wrong, when the Bathroom Mirror began to shake and burst from its spot on the wall and went flying towards Ritchie, who managed to catch it before it could hurt him. He struggled and pushed it back into place against the force of the water pushing it towards him. But then the water spouts out of the Toilet Tank, which Ash is quick to try and hold down. But then they hear the Shower Head beginning to shake, they look over and see that there are multiple currents of water bursting. Causing Water to fill the Shower Cubicle and Rockruff begins to float to the top, seeing this as an opportunity to escape, causing Ritchie to Scream in fear to Ash). That heckhound is gonna escape! (Already knowing what to do and hoping that it will stop more Disaster Dominoes from falling, Ash uses his leg to move his wrench over while reassuring Ritchie).
Ash: No, he will not. (Ash then uses his Wrench to wrench a valve connected to the toilet making causing it to flush, with the toilet fixed, the shower begins to drain the flooding water out properly. Seeing everything working again properly, Ash takes seat on the toilet and letting out a Sigh of Relief, convinced all this chaos was finally over). Phew. (Only for Ritchie to approach him with another concern of his).
Ritchie: Hey, uh... Ash? (The two brothers looked to see the shower was completely empty. Rockruff was nowhere in sight that was until they looked up to see that Ash's act of fixing the toilet was too late, as a now soaking wet Rockruff has reached the top of the shower and prepares to jump from the top of the Shower Door with a Slasher smile that says, "you guys are boned now!". Ash was feeling very scared of Rockruff's Anger and Rage now, as he tried to calm Rockruff down).
Ash: Uh... Who is a good Rockruff? (But he could not keep himself from letting out a Nervous Laugh). Who is a good boy? (Ash did not have a plan on what to do should Rockruff attack them again other than to stand in front of Ritchie, while he hides behind a bathroom mirror, using it as an improvised shield. With a Snarling Growl, Rockruff Jumps, leaping toward Ash and Ritchie with his Mouth wide open for a Bite Attack, leaving them to scream before they duck at the last second causing Rockruff to go flying over them and out the window, leaving Rockruff to think to himself, "Oh, Crop!" when he realized the danger he just inadvertently put himself into. While Ash and Ritchie share a quick glance at each other as the Opera Song, "L'Amour Est Un Oiseau Rebelle (Habanera)" stops playing).
(The homeowner couple is now sitting in their living room with a window behind them. They were each reading a different book to themselves, while a single glass model of a creature with a Leaf on its head called a "Pikmin" was on a nearby Table. Meanwhile, oblivious to them, outside their window, Rockruff lets out a whimper, scared for his life as Ash and Ritchie manage to catch him with a plunger. Rockruff's whimpers get the attention of his two owners).
Homeowners: Hm? Hm. (They Share Looks with each other, before returns to their books, deciding that they were surely hearing things).
(Meanwhile, the Ketchum Brothers were pulling Rockruff to safety, with Rockruff still clinging to the Plunger that Ash was holding while Ritchie was holding onto him, to get them all from falling out the window. Thankfully, Ritchie was able to pull Ash, the Rockruff, and himself, back into the bathroom as the Opera Song, "L'Amour Est Un Oiseau Rebelle (Habanera)" final notes play, before concluding completely. Just before the homeowner couple enters and gasp at the sight before them. They see that Ritchie is trying to put the sink back in place while Ash pulls Rockruff out of the toilet, while both brothers give their clients weak smiles).
Ash: Found the problem. (Then Rockruff lets out a whimper and weak sounding Bark, proving that he Ain't Too Proud to Beg for help, from the All-Loving Hero despite how he was just attacking them after Ritchie earned Rockruff's ire after accidentally stepping on his Oran Berry, causing him to turn Ax-Crazy, becoming quite vicious, almost mauling them both leading him to dish out Disproportionate Retribution in indirectly sabotaging and ruining their entire plumbing business. Causing their first job to result in an Epic Fail, with his Pettiness, but that was his fatal flaw, had Ash and Ritchie not saved him, it would have led to his own destruction).
(Unfortunately, because of what happened when the Homeowners came in and saw the damage that was present, Ash and Ritchie ended up not receiving payment for the work they did, and Rockruff got off Scott-free. But now the two brothers, were Arriving home. They hung up their hats and gloves and were about to join their Family in the dining room when they heard them making conversation with each other).
Family Member #1: Ma, did you make these?
Family Member #2: Ah, good batch, eh?
Family Member #1: Why don't you make it like this? (Then Ash and Ritchie enter their family's dining room. Ash and Ritchie's family was huge, all living together in a single apartment as part of a Multigenerational Household family with nine members in total. Their Family consisted of Ash and Ritchie's mother, Delia, their Father, Jeff, his two brothers, Abe and Harry Goodman, their Aunt Camille who was married to Harry, along with their Aunt Camille and Uncle Harry Goodman's Daughter, Bonnie, finally there was their Grandfather, Hala. When Ash and Ritchie walked in their family happily greeted them shouting in excitement).
Ash and Ritchie's Family: Hey-yo!
Ash and Ritchie: Hey-yo! (The only one who did not take part in the eager greeting with Ash and Ritchie was their Niece who was a Phoneaholic Teenager and was the youngest member of the family, who never took her eyes off her phone. As Ash and Ritchie took their seats at the table, their Uncle Abe excitedly greeted them).
Uncle Abe: Oh-ho, it is the Super Ketchum Brothers from the TV. (This causes Uncle Abe, Uncle Harry, and Grandpa Hala to Laugh, while Bonnie remained quiet and kept to herself on her phone. Then Delia sat next to Hala as he was an old and toothless Scatterbrained Senior who needed to be fork-fed their spaghetti dinner, along with also needing to use crutches when walking. Then their Uncle Harry Goodman teasingly asked his two nephews).
Uncle Harry Goodman: Do they give an Oscar for worst actors? (Decorating one of the Cabinet's Top Shelf's are sombrero wearing sheep. But Aunt Camille, did not like her husband's teasing their two nephews).
Aunt Camille: Hey! (In Response she goes and lightly Dope Slap him for making them a laughingstock here).
Uncle Harry Goodman: What did I do? (Ash and Ritchie expected this much from their family, as their mother, Delia was the only person who gave the Ketchum Brothers a five-star review on their website. Ritchie was also a proud Momma's Boy if him showing the review of his mother earlier was anything to go by. Not to mention that his relationship with his mother is one of the few things that he is proud about. But their Aunt Camille was also supportive of the two of them, especially when she Dope Slapped their Uncle Harry Goodman a moment ago when he made a joke at their expense about the commercial winning an Oscar for the worst actors. Ash just chuckles Nervously before saying to his Family).
Ash: (Nervous Chuckle). So, uh... So, everybody saw the commercial, then?
Uncle Abe: Uh-huh. We see it. (Ash then winks at his Uncle Harry Goodman).
Ash: And?
Uncle Harry Goodman: Well, I would not quit your day job. (Then Uncle Abe playfully grabs Ritchie and hugs him while shaking him shouting).
Uncle Abe: Oops! He already did. (Uncle Abe, Uncle Harry Goodman and Ash and Ritchie's grandfather, Hala Laughs again as Delia goes and praises her two boys that she was endlessly proud and supportive of).
Delia: Well, I thought it was incredible. It belongs to a movie theater. (Due to Delia busy praising her sons she did not notice when the spaghetti she was fork-feeding Hala had already fallen off, causing him to bite into the fork like the Scatterbrained Senior he was, or that she was Leaning on a Fourth Wall. Then Ash and Ritchie's dad, Jeff goes and puts spaghetti with Berries onto Ash's plate. This causes Ash to Cringe with disgust at the sight of the very food he hates the most).
Ash: Ugh, Berries? (Jeff just simply tells his oldest son what he thinks about Berries).
Jeff: Everybody loves Berries, right? (Knowing that Ash will just pick the Berries off his Pasta, Ritchie speaks voicing his feelings on them).
Ritchie: Yes, I like Berries, I will take it. (Jeff is happy to see Ritchie eating his Berries, laughing happily at it).
Jeff: (Laughs). Yes. (Then Uncle Abe leans over to Ash, not noticing how he was invading Ritchie's personal space to ask him).
Uncle Abe: Ash, seriously. What were your thinkin' with that commercial? (Ash begins placing his Berries onto Ritchie's plate while responding to his Uncle's Question).
Ash: (As he places Berries on Ritchie's plate). What? It is supposed to be funny. (Then Ritchie speaks to ask a question).
Ritchie: Can someone pass the bread? (But everyone ignores him as Uncle Abe talks over him as he asks Ash another question he has).
Uncle Abe: Yes, but... What are the outfits? (Abe then goes and pulls out the gloves that Ash and Ritchie were wearing before, putting them on Ritchie's empty plate). Plumbers wearin' battle gloves?
Ash: That is right. You gotta have a trademark. Gotta stands out. (Ash did not care if the rest of his Ritchie's family saw them wearing their Battle Gloves as impractical since they it was just to help them stand out from other Plumbers and make them unique. Then Delia spoke up again to continue praising her two boys to cheer them up as she put a bowl of food in front of Ritchie).
Delia: Do not listen to them. The world Laughed at Da Vinci, too. (Then she goes to sit back down in her seat, while Ritchie quickly replies to his mom telling her).
Ritchie: Mm, I am not sure they did, Ma. (Then Ash turned to his dad, Jeff wanting to know what he thought of his and Ritchie's commercial).
Ash: Dad... What did you think? (Then Jeff answers his son's question quite bluntly).
Jeff: Well, I say you are nuts. You do not leave a steady job for a crazy dream. And the worst part? You are bringing your brother down with you.
(Ash was not surprised to have gotten this kind of response from his dad, since he knew that Ritchie was much meeker and more cowardly than he was. But he could not understand why his father was this way to him and Ritchie, he did not know if his father was harder on him alone not only because of their livelihood, but out of concern for Ritchie's wellbeing and habit of getting into trouble? Or was it possibly because he thinks he is coddling his brother, and them doing everything together was preventing Ritchie from growing, since Ritchie knows that he will always have his brother to defend him. Either way, his father's Brutal Honesty answer hurt, and it hurt him more that their Fantasy-Forbidding Father was skeptical of their plans to start their own plumbing business, and only gave his opinion on the matter when asked outright, but at least he never did anything directly to try and stop them. But the part that hurt most was the clear case of Parental Favoritism with how their dad looks to favor Ritchie more since chastised him for "bringing [his] brother down with [him]". At that moment, Ash said grimly to his dad).
Ash: (Grimly). Well, thanks, Dad. (Hearing that his own father considers him a disappointment and that he was bringing Ritchie down with him with his reckless decisions by fulfilling a dream he finds "crazy", Ash having lost his appetite, stands up and leaves the table). Thanks for your 'support'.
(Everyone, despite Bonnie, and including the purposefully loud and obnoxious Uncle Abe and Uncle Harry Goodman were silent as they watched Ash Storm off. Then everyone but Hala sends Jeff a Disapproving Look that said, "You went too far this time" for insensitively hurting Ash's feelings by saying those hurtful words since they knew that Jeff went too far with his words even when Uncles Abe and Uncle Harry Goodman playfully poke fun about Ash and Ritchie's commercial and their struggling business, they drew the line at what Jeff said to Ash since he did not have to hurt Ash's feelings like that, even though that wasn't his intention. Then Jeff glanced over to his wife, Delia, and saw her shaking her head back and forward, barely hiding her disappointment in her husband. All the looks he was getting, and the disapproval written on their faces and a look from his two brothers faces that looked like they were saying "Jeez, bro, don't you think you're going a little overboard?" was leading him to wonder where exactly he went wrong, asking everyone insensitively).
Jeff: What did I say? (No one responded to Jeff's question, with Bonnie turning her attention back to her phone. But everyone knew one thing, that Ash could barely hide how he was feeling hurt and upset as he stormed off to his room alone).
(Meanwhile, Ash was sitting in his room playing a game from 1986 called, "Kid Icarus" on his "NES" System connected to his TV. Hanging above the TV was A model of a Spaceship called an "Arwing". While having Aunt, Uncle's, and Bonnie (if she wanted to) poking fun at his decision to stop working for Byron did not bother him too much, it was his father, Jeff's criticism that hurt the most and made him retreat to his room, and lament his lack of trust and support in him. Ash knew that Ritchie truly admired him and tended to follow his lead even if he thinks something is a bad idea. But what also made Ash upset was that he called the job he and Ritchie had with Byron "steady", despite him being a Bad Boss and an overall jerk. Along with their Dad treated him as if he was in the wrong for leaving a toxic job, especially when his little brother was also in that toxic job and the Bros started their own plumbing business to get out of that situation and prevent being potentially employed by another Boss like Byron. It was already bad that his and Ritchie's first day on their new job was a disaster because of that Rockruff attacking them and preventing them from doing their jobs properly just because Ritchie accidentally stepped on his Oran Berry, but this caused him to feel humiliated in front of his entire family and fed up with not being taken seriously. And their earlier Clients only gave them a 2-star review because Rockruff "loved" the Bros.), plus Byron's spiteful 1-star review, and their mom's 5-star review meant they had a rough start. At least his and Ritchie's Mom (who was the only one to give five-star review when their website launched), is fully supportive of their dream. Ash knew his father, Jeff was surely not trying to hurt his feelings when he was reprimanding him and was only stern because he is worried about his and Ritchie's future, especially when quitting their day jobs and dumping their entire lifesavings on a dream of becoming working-class heroes (and with a cheap low-quality commercial for good measure) was a very risky move. Even if his father said what he did out of concern, his sternness causes him to take his criticism hard due to his lack of support for them to the point where Ash thought his father's concerns were him thinking that he is a joke. And was his father right about his refusal to give up truly a terrible thing? As Ash kept playing as the Character, Pitt who was in an enemy lair before a flock of Specknoses hit his Character causing him to die. He hoped he could also meet this Pitt Character, as he was sure he could be best friends with each other, along with hopefully a Hyrule Swordsmen, a Pink Puffball, and a Green Dinosaur who would give him rides on its back. Upon dying, the "Game Over" Screen appeared with the words, "I'M FINISHED!" flashing on the screen. Then Ash switches the TV from "Game" Mode to Live TV with the news currently playing. Then a News Anchor appears and begins talking to the viewers).
News Reporter: Thanks for tuning in to News Channel 4... (Then Ritchie enters the bedroom, bringing Ash his plate of spaghetti from the table).
Ritchie: Hey. (Ritchie goes and Sits beside his brother, before reassuring him, even showing Ash that there was not a single berry on it since he knew that Ash does not like Berries). You are not bringing me down. Do you know what? What do they know, huh? (Ritchie was trying his best to cheer his brother up, and Ash knew that. But it was not doing a ton for him, even though Ritchie was the one who would provide Ash with the emotional support needed since he was The Heart of the team and whenever Ash had moments of doubt or even depression, Ritchie was always quick to reassure him. Like he was now, trying to comfort him when he was feeling down about their father, Jeff's lack of support for them. Among all the Posters in his and Ritchie's bedroom one of them was a Baseball Poster with a Character from an NES game. Ash then laments how he is feeling to his brother).
Ash: It is not just them. Our whole lives, everyone is telling us, 'We cannot do this', 'We can't do that', I am just sick and tired of feelin' so small... (Ash, just like everyone else deals with feelings of Angst, and feelings of insecurity. Ash always tries to keep a surely positive outlook on life, but even he needs to deal with genuine insecurity about his height and has a couple of daddy issues like what he heard from his dad earlier, which genuinely hurt him. Even when his and Ritchie's first day on the job ended in disaster because of an accidental mistake by Ritchie, he was never mad at him, nor did he blame him for what happened. Ash decided to treat the incident as if it were just a bump in the road and that everything will end up better next time. Because no matter what happens, he and Ritchie are brothers till the end. Ash secretly wished that he could have the optimism that his brother had a part of the time despite his timidity. But he did not, because he was The Unfavorite in their father's eyes, being the one who took the brunt of the harsher critique from their father, who clearly values his brother more than him. Then the news catches Ash's attention, snapping him a bit out of emotional turmoil as Ritchie began eating the Spaghetti on Ash's Dinner Plate, since he knew that Ash was not going to do so).
News Reporter: A water main burst underground today, stopping... (Ash did not however notice that the News Ticker beneath the News Main Headline (Which Says, "WATER MAIN BREAK FLOODS CASTELIA CITY") said that, "A mysterious signal has ended up received from Solar System FS-176", or that after that news item the News Ticker mentions an, "R. Hayami" winning this Years" Wave Race"). ... Subway service and flooding Downtown Castelia City. (The News Report Shows the Water Main Line Pump Burst happening live. This bit of news has captured Ash's attention as he turns up the volume as the news report shows the water main spilling water onto the street while Ritchie keeps eating Ash's Dinner. A Reporter, named Emilia Christie, appears on the News, speaking with reporters).
Emilia Christie: Everything is under control, I promise you. We are remarkably close to fixing this. (But then a sewer hole cover shoots high into the air bursting like a geyser behind Emilia. Realizing that this just happened caused, Emilia Christie can only give the camera a nervous "Oh, Crop!" Smile, realizing that the worsening flood disproves her assurance that it is under control and making them out as Blatant Lies. And worse, it was happening on live TV, too. Even if Ash were focusing more on the Flood Problem going on here, he did not hesitate to admit to himself that he found Emilia Christie attractive, and that he would enjoy having a Relationship with her at any point in the future. Then A citizen runs in, shakes Emilia Christie, and grabs a reporter's microphone loudly shouting).
Citizen: Out of the way!
Other Citizen: Go back!
Citizen #3: We need Somebody to help! We need Somebody to save Castelia City!
Ash: "Save Castelia City"? (The Words, "Save Castelia City" quickly gets Ash's attention, as the Echo in his mind, since that is what he and Ritchie said in the Commercial. Ash saw this as their chance to save the day, prove his and Ritchie's worth as plumbers and be the heroes he knew they were. He was so lucky to have turned his TV on to see this newscast, for him it was quite the Coincidental Broadcast. And after their failure at their first Plumbing Job in part due to their clients Rockruff, Ash was feeling motivated to take on greater jobs to repair their damaged reputation. And he quickly gets excited about this opportunity of theirs ending up presented right in front of them. He turns to Ritchie telling him). Ritchie, this is our chance! Destiny is calling! (At this, Ritchie perks up and asks Ash).
Ritchie: Destiny Del Vecchio from High School? (Ash was surprised and baffled to hear this from Ritchie responding to him saying).
Ash: What? No! Just come on! (Ash pulls Ritchie out of the room after he puts down the plate of spaghetti. Ash was determined to do this big job right this time. Because his and Ritchie's Reputations were on the line, and he was determined to restore it and prove his and Ritchie's Worth as Plumbers and become the Heroes he knew they were. Ash was Confident that nothing could surely go wrong this time).
[A/N #1: I have a bit of news that may excite you. Now, I cannot (repeat CANNOT) say this with 100% certainty, but Nintendo could be in the middle of making a "Luigi's Mansion" Movie. Here is what I know: (DISCLAIMER: NOT ALL OF THIS IS 100% ACCURATE, THIS IS JUST SPECULATIVE BUT A PART OF IT COULD BE TRUE AND BE MADE OFFICIAL SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE! AND THAT I HEARD IT FROM RUMORS ALL OVER THE INTERNET! (Places like Reddit, and ScreenRant). SO, A COUPLE OF PARTS ARE ACCURATE AND OTHERS MAY NOT BE ACCURATE). The "Luigi's Mansion" Movie will be a Spin-Off Film. The Following Paragraph comes from the WMG (Wild Mass Guessing) Page of "TV Tropes": "It has been soft confirmed that the original film will be the first in a trilogy, but these three films will explicitly be under the "Super Mario Bros." branding. While it will take place in the same continuity, a hypothetical movie adaptation of Luigi's Mansion (which Charlie Day has expressed interest in) will have its own branding and will not officially be part of this trilogy. This makes sense intuitively, as the games themselves are mostly spin-offs from the main series, and would also be a good creative decision, allowing the film to be Tonally distinct from the others in a way that it would need to be to really work. Furthermore, a faithful adaptation of the series would not affect the status quo very significantly, allowing future audiences to, if they want, watch only the trilogy without skipping any major beats". SO AGAIN, I CANNOT CONFIRM ALL OF THIS ABOVE INFORMATION! JUST THAT THIS IS JUST SPECULATIVE BUT A PART OF IT COULD BE TRUE AND BE MADE OFFICIAL SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE! AND THAT I HEARD IT FROM RUMORS ALL OVER THE INTERNET! (Places like Reddit, and ScreenRant). SO, A COUPLE OF PARTS ARE ACCURATE AND OTHERS MAY NOT BE ACCURATE)].
Replies to my reviewers:
Ashpoke55: Thank You. But I will not spoil the surprise of whom I choose for Donkey Kong. You will just have to wait and see. But unfortunately, there is a 0% chance I would ever do a Story based on the "Hotel Transylvania" Movies, because I do not like those movies at all. Mainly because I cannot take any of them seriously, they are far too ridiculous if I am being honest. If I wanted to watch a Transylvania Movie, I would just watch the Scooby Doo Movie Called, "Scooby-Doo! Frankencreepy" (Even though it does not truly happen in the Romanian Version of Transylvania, instead in the Pennsylvania version Transylvania but I digress). Although, if you read my Pokémon Version of the "Danny Phantom" Show, you could very easily see that I am a HUGE AshxMallow Fan. (Also Called, "AlohaShipping". It is My (#1) Top Favorite Pokémon Shipping of all Time. (Although I have rediscovered my love for "Amourshipping", which is AshxSerena recently, so now, "AlohaShipping" and "Amourshipping" ended up tied for the #1 Spot, with "AlohaShipping" edging out a little more than "Amourshipping". I honestly do not know why I love Mallow so much. Whether it is her beautiful Green Hair, or her Stylish Outfit, how Adorable She gets sometimes, or just her all around amazing and adorable Personality. I just love Mallow. She is my #1 Favorite Girl in all of "Pokémon". (Next to Serena of Course). And I did use Mallow again for my Pokémon Version of "Ratatouille" Story called, "Cooking Up a Recipe for Success". Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this Chapter, and will enjoy what I have coming up next).
