Kanto Gets Loud
Chapter 97: First Days!
Later that evening, in the next town,
True to what Hopkins had told them, Lincoln and friends had made it to the next town, just as the sun was going down. And true to what they were told, the town was setting up in preparation for a Pokemon Contest being held the next day, "Looks like tomorrow's going to be the contest. I'm really going to have to mull over my options for it," Lincoln commented.
"Remember, the judges will be basing everything on how smart you're able to make your Pokemon appear to be. No matter who you pick, you'll have to adjust your performance to better suit that particular criteria," Brock replied.
"Try thinking of how your Pokemon can use their moves in an inventive way. After all, you remember how Scizor was able to use Swords Dance when we first encountered it, right?" Misty asked.
"Oh yeah! That makes my decision for the Contest all the easier now," Lincoln replied. Soon, they arrived at the Pokemon Center, stashing their bikes into their bags before heading in.
"Hello, and welcome to the Pokemon Center," Nurse Joy greeted. Immediately, Brock went and knelt down before her.
"Being welcomed into this fine Pokemon Center by a radiant vision of loveliness such as yourself is always a true honor, Nurse Joy. If you would allow me, I would gladly shower you with the sort of affection that only one such as yourself deserves," Brock flirted, only to get pulled off by the ear by Misty.
"If you're going to shower her, then she's going to need a raincoat and umbrella," she stated, dragging him away. Both Lincoln and Nurse Joy could only chuckle sheepishly at the scene before them.
"Anyhow, we'd like a room for our stay in this town," Lincoln said.
"Certainly. Are you staying for the Pokemon Contest?" Nurse Joy asked.
"Yes. I plan to enter," Lincoln replied.
"Well, the Contest Hall isn't too far from here, and registration is open until 10 o clock tomorrow morning. If you hurry, you can get your entry submitted," Nurse Joy said.
"It is still a little early. You can probably go and get it taken care of and be back here in no time," Misty suggested.
"Well, alright. I'll be back in a little bit," Lincoln said, as he exited the Pokemon Center.
Meanwhile, back in Royal Woods, at Royal Woods High,
Another start of a school week had started, as buses and cars carrying students arrived in front of the High School. Among them were three cars, driven by Rita, Lance, and Taylor, who were dropping off Lori, Luna, Luan, Shane, Emily, and the Glam Sisters, "Alright girls, make sure you and Shane help the girls out with adjusting to human school," Rita said.
"We will, Mom," Luna replied, as they broke off from the van.
"Ok Shane, Emily, you have a good day at school now," Lance said.
"Will do, Dad," Shane replied, before turning to Emily, who was fidgeting slightly where she stood. Her outfit consisted of a blue t-shirt that snuggly held her I-Cup breasts, allowing everyone to see just how big they were. She also wore denim short shorts, sort of like what Lori wore, showing off her large, bubble butt, and thigh-high boots. Her shirt also had holes in the back to allow her wings some room. Nearby, the Glam Sisters were saying their goodbyes to Katie and Taylor for the day. Glitz was wearing a seafoam green crop-top and a marine blue miniskirt, while Glam's outfit was the exact same, only a marine blue crop-top and seafoam green miniskirt. Both of their tops snuggly held each of their K-Cup Breasts.
"Wow, so this is a Human High School? And everyone can wear what they want?" Emily asked, looking up at the school, as were the Siren Sisters.
"Well, everyone can wear what they want, but they also have to adhere to a dress code," Lori replied, as a girl was being reprimanded for wearing a top that could easily be considered just a bra, and a skirt that was much too short.
"Wow, the private school we all attended had a strict rule about mandatory uniforms," Glam stated.
"In any case, we should head inside. We wouldn't want you girls being late for your first day at Human School," Shane said, as they all entered the school building, where they were greeted by Principal Rivers.
"Ah, so you three must be the Interspecies Exchange Students I was told about!" the principal said, greeting Emily and the Sirens.
"Yes, that's right. I'm Emily Oriel, a Seraphim," Emily greeted.
"AND WE'RE THE GLAM SISTERS!" the siren twins greeted.
"I'm Glitz, and this is my sister, Glam. We're Sirens," Glitz said, introducing herself and her sister.
"Well, it's an honor to have such distinguished members of Monster Society as guests in our school. Now, if you'll all come with me, we're going to have an assembly in the auditorium immediately after the morning announcements, and the three of you will have to be on stage for," the Principal said, ushering the three of them to the side, "As for you four, head on to your classes. The morning announcements will be starting soon," she said, leaving the three sisters and Shane to head off to class.
"We'll see you girls soon," Shane said, as he left with his cousins. After dropping off their stuff and getting their books, the four of them made it to their first classes. Their teachers did attendance, just as the PA went off.
"Good morning, Royal Woods High! Here are the morning announcements. First, for lunch today, you'll have a choice between a pepperoni pizza or a loaded baked potato with the works. Second… er… actually, we don't have much more than what's for lunch, so I'll just cut to the actually big announcement for today. Royal Woods High will be playing host to a trio of Monster students. As soon as the announcements are finished, please move in an orderly fashion to the School Auditorium so that the principal can introduce them and explain the rules regarding them. Now, proceed to the Auditorium… We really need to come up with better announcements for the… oh, crap! This thing is still on?!" the announcer scrambled to turn off the PA, much to the amusement of everyone in the school But as soon as the PA cut out, everyone made their way to the Auditorium, where Emily and the Glam Sisters were seated behind the principal.
"Hello everyone. As you've probably heard from the morning announcements, our school has taken in three Interspecies Exchange Students, as you can see behind me. Their names are Emily Oriel, a Seraphim, Glitz and Glam Glamour, Siren Twins. Please see to it that their stay here is comfortable and keep this in mind; This school already has minimal tolerance for bullying of any kind, being it physical, mental or emotional, but in the case of these three lovely young ladies, that already minimal tolerance is even lower. As per the guidelines in the Interspecies Exchange Bill, any bullying involving an Interspecies Exchange Student will yield far more severe punishments than normal, including immediate expulsion," the principal explained. This caused some murmurs to go around among the students.
"Dudes, I knew the Exchange Bill had some harsh laws, but I didn't think they'd affect schools too!" Luna whispered to her sisters and cousin.
"Well, it was bound to happen, given the whole 'No Attacking Humans/Monster' Rule," Shane replied.
"In any case, you'll all have an equal chance to meet each of these girls and get to know them a bit more on a personal level, maybe even making friends with them. But with all that said, that concludes this assembly. Please return to your classes and begin your lessons for the day. Apart from Lori, Luna, Luan, and Shane Loud. You four come forward. I have an assignment for you," the principal said. With that, everyone began piling out of the auditorium, with the exception of the Louds, who approached the stage, "I'd like the four of you to show these three around the school, as well as to their private locker," she said handing them a slip of paper.
"Will do, Principal Rivers," Luna replied, turning to Emily and the Sirens, "Alright, lets get this tour on the road!" she said, leading them through a nearby door. Principal Rivers rolled her eyes before approaching the same door, opening it to reveal the seven of them squished inside.
"This is a broom closet. The auditorium exit is over there," she said, pointing to a nearby door.
"Oh yeah, I knew that. I got turned around is all," Luna said, as they exited the auditorium, "Alright, so the three of you have already seen the main foyer, the auditorium, and I suspect you've been taken to the main office, right?" she asked.
"Yes, that's right," Emily replied.
"Alright, we'll take you around campus to show you where everything is," Lori said, as they began to lead the three Monster Princesses around.
Meanwhile, at Royal Woods Elementary School,
Lana and Lola had gotten to their seats, just as the bell rang, signaling the start of the first classes of the day. They hadn't been getting as much of the whole stink eye treatment as they did when the school year started, but some students were still shooting distrustful looks their way. But today was a good day for them, as it was show-and-tell day for them, and they, along with Lucy and Lisa, had gotten permission from Principal Huggins to bring in two of Lincoln's Pokemon each to show their classmates, but only ONE of them could do so per day, and today's sister was Lana. Of course, it wouldn't be until after lunch period, but they didn't mind too much, "So Lana, you got your speech ready to go?" Lola asked.
"Yep. Thanks to the data we've been reviewing from Lisa, it made writing it a lot easier," Lana replied, as their teacher came in.
"Alright class, settle down. We've got quite a bit to cover today. But first, before we do attendance, we have some Interspecies Exchange Students joining our class today," the teacher said, as an Interspecies Coodrinator walked in, escorting a young mummy girl with a pink bow, a werewolf girl in a blue dress, and what appeared to be a young elf boy.
"Alright kiddos, these will be your new classmates, and potentially your new friends as well. May I introduce Tanis Bahiti, a mummy, Winnie Blake, a werewolf, and Galan Ararie, an elf. Please treat them nicely, and help them to become more comfortable in your class and in this school," the coordinator requested.
"I'm sure the class will do what they can to help them feel more welcome. We can take things from here," the teacher said, as the coordinator gave her a card.
"If anything comes up, don't hesitate to give a call," he said, before taking his leave.
"Alright you three. If you have anything you'd like to say to the class, by all means, take this opportunity to do so. Afterwards, you can take your seats, and then we'll do attendance," the teacher said.
"H-h-hello. I'm Tanis Bahiti. I don't have much else to say," Tanis timidly said, allowing Winnie and Galan their turns.
"Heya everyone, name's Winnie Blake, as the Coordinator said. If you got any questions, I can try to answer them the best I can," Winnie said with a bit more confidence than Tanis.
"And I am Galan Ararie. I too shall answer questions you may have regarding myself and my species," Galan said.
"Yes, quite right. We'll have time for a little Q Session later on, but for now, it's time for roll call. Please, take your seats. I've marked each one with your names," the teacher said, prompting the three monster kids to locate and sit at their desks. As soon as they did, the teacher did roll call and got on with the lessons for the day. The day went by smoothly for the younger Reynolds sisters. Soon, before they knew it, it was lunchtime. The four sisters were sitting with one another.
"So the two of you have Interspecies Exchange Students in your class?" Lisa asked.
"Yeah. We've got a mummy, a werewolf, and an elf," Lana replied.
"The mummy girl seems a bit shaky with being at a new school, especially with it being a human school," Lola added.
"Yes, that is to be expected. Even for humans, attending a new school is a bit uncomfortable initially," Lisa replied.
"Has the mummy or the elf shown any prowess with magic? I'd kind of like to learn something outside of Great Grandma Harriet's spell-book," Lucy asked.
"Uh, so far, they've just been shown to try and get a feel for how exactly human schools work. Besides, we've hardly had a chance to get to know them properly. We're giving them a wide berth to get their bearings," Lana replied.
"Plus, I think we could all do WITHOUT anymore curses or spells for the time being," Lola added.
"Sigh, I suppose you have a point there," Lucy replied. Unbeknownst to any of them, two different groups were watching them from the shadows. The first of which being the kids Chandler had bribed to try and get intel on Lucy's daily routine. The second group were some Team Rocket Grunts, watching them from a tinted car with binoculars.
"Ok, so she always sits with her younger sisters at lunchtime," one of the boys said, keeping an eye on Lucy.
"Man, I hope all of this is worth the candy that Chandler guy bribed us with," the second kid replied.
"Funny… I was hoping the same thing myself."
Meanwhile, in the car, the spying Rocket Grunts were taking down notes, "Alright, so we've confirmed that each day of school, they come out to the playground for lunch at this time," the first grunt said, checking the notes.
"And their lunch period lasts only about less than an hour. To problem is that there's too many witnesses to effectively kidnap them," the second grunt stated.
"True as that may be, we have an ace up our sleeves that renders the whole witness problem void."
"We do?"
"Yep. We have Pokemon that can use Sleep Powder. So even if there are a lot of people present, we can knock them out and only focus on the kids."
"Oh yeah! That makes sense in hindsight. But what if they or anyone else has a way of fending off the Sleep Powder?"
"If that happens, we'll just capture anyone else they're with and take them along with us."
Meanwhile, back in the town Lincoln and Company were at,
Having returned from registering for the Pokemon Contest, Lincoln had sat down to a nice dinner with his friends, "Alright, I'm all registered, and ready for the Contest," Lincoln stated.
"So, have you decided on who you're bringing in?" Misty asked.
"Yes. I've decided to go with Andrea for the Appeals Round, and Lapis for the Battle Round," Lincoln replied.
"Lapis, I can understand, but I'd like to hear what you have planned for Andrea," Brock asked curiously.
"Well," Lincoln paused, looking around the cafeteria, "I'll tell you both my plans for the Appeals Stage when we're back in our room for the night."
"Acting suspicious of everyone else in the cafeteria? Aren't you being a little paranoid?" Misty asked.
"Ordinarily, you'd be right, but when I was at the Contest Hall, I ran into Weevil Underwood. Y'know, that Bug Pokemon Trainer we met at the Battle Chateau?" Lincoln replied.
"Oh, that creepy kid with all the unconventional battle tactics!" Misty shuddered at the memory of him.
"Yeah. I don't want him to learn about my plans. He could try passing them off as his own, making things harder for me," Lincoln replied.
"Makes sense," Brock replied, knowing the type of person Weevil was. With that said, they continued with their dinner.
Meanwhile, back at Royal Woods High School,
Emily and the Glam Sisters were sitting in the cafeteria, answering some questions the students had for them, mainly about their species in general and about themselves, as they were being interviewed by one particular student. He was wearing an army green T-Shirt and shorts and was wearing sunglasses. Near him was a laptop which had a Live Podcast Software up and running, "And for today's special episode, joining me are a grand total of three Interspecies Exchange Students. Their names are Emily Oriel, a Seraphim, along with twin Sirens, Glitz and Glam Glamour. I'd like to thank you three for joining me here today," the student said.
"And we'd like to thank you for having us be a part of your show," Emily said.
"Anyhow, as this is only your first day at a Human School, it should go without saying that I've already received quite a number of questions from the rest of the student body pertaining to each of you, and your respective species. I managed to grab a few before coming before you ladies. Would you be alright answering a few questions the other students might have for you?"
"Oh of course! We'd love to," Glitz replied.
"Alrighty then. So, this first question is for Emily. This student asks 'So, do angels like you have access to like, Heaven, or something'?"
"Yes, of course! In fact, only Angel and Demon Type Monsters have access to the afterlife. Of course, we can't stay there for too long," Emily replied.
"Alright. For our next question, it's another one for you, Emily. This student asks, 'As an angel, can you see what's inside a person's heart or soul'?"
"Well, it's a bit tricky, but we angels CAN technically see how good or evil a person truly is. In fact, one of my Skills, Omniscient Vision, allows me to see who's truly good and who's bad," Emily replied.
"'Skills'? When you say Skill, does that mean like your abilities or something?"
"Yes. All Monsters have at least ONE Skill, whether they be for offense, like Super Strength or Sniper Shot, or defensive ones like Armored Skin or Danger Sense," Emily replied.
"That being said, some Monster Species have Skills that are unique ONLY to them. For example, Arachne are the only Species that can use Skills like Sticky Thread or Steel Thread," Glam added.
"Hmm, I see. Do any of you have unique Skills for your own Species?"
"Well, I have a Skill called 'Blessed Healing', which allows me to use condensed light to heal just about any injury. And I only have ONE Offense Skill, known as 'Holy Cannon', but I hardly ever use it, so it's not worth mentioning," Emily replied.
"As for my sister and I, we have a Skill called 'Underwater Vision', which is self-explanatory," Glam added.
"Another Skill that most Aquatic Monsters have is called 'Precipitation Foretelling'. This allows us to sense when a powerful change in precipitation is going to take place, such as a storm," Glitz added.
"I see. It sounds like the Skills you Monsters possess are just like the Skills one would attain in an RPG."
"I have two more things to say before we continue. First, what's an 'RPG'?" Emily asked.
"'Role-Playing Game'. Basically, where human players can don the persona of like knights, wizards, warlocks, etc. One of the more famous RPGs has to be Dungeons & Dragons."
"Oh, I've heard about those types of games! I never really played them though. And for my second thing I want to say kind of affects ALL Monster Exchange Students," Emily said.
"What's on your mind?"
"Well, I feel the term 'Monster' seems a bit… derogatory. I mean, sure, we're technically classified as 'Monsters', but it seems a bit misleading, and possibly offensive to some more sensitive Interspecies Exchange Students," Emily replied.
"Now that you mention it, I don't think I want to be considered a 'Monster' while my sister and I are in this Realm either," Glam replied.
"Well, if that's the case, what would you and all other Exchange Students to be classified as?" all three girls pondered hard about this.
"Hmm, I don't really know. All we do know is that we don't really want to be considered 'Monsters'," Emily replied.
"And that's perfectly alright. In fact, I'll be asking all my listeners out there to give their thoughts on what the Exchange Program Students should be called… other than 'Monsters'."
"That would be most appreciated. Thank you," Glitz replied.
"Excellent. And we've got time for one more question."
"Oh sure! What have you got?" Emily asked.
"This question asks… oh dear… This question is asking if any of you ladies are single and are looking for boyfriends," Emily and both sirens blushed upon hearing this, "It's alright if you don't wish to answer it. I understand perfectly."
"W-W-Well, having a boyfriend does sound nice, but unlike my BFF, Charlie, I don't exactly have any experience in romance," Emily stammered.
"Is this Charlie person someone you're close to, Emily?"
"You could say that. She's the daughter of King Lucius, the Demon King of the entire Monster Realm. Of course, my Uncle Adam doesn't approve of my friendship with her," Emily replied.
"I take it there's some animosity between Angel and Demon Type Monsters?"
"Not exactly. Uncle Adam is, what you Humans would call, a racist extremist, who once led an ill-fated war against every Demon in the Monster Realm. One of the many laws that Angel Type Monsters MUST follow is to NEVER use their divine powers to intentionally bring unwarranted harm to others, and Demon Type Monsters are no exception to this rule. As a result of his arrogance, he and every other Angel Type Monster who followed him became Dark Angels," Emily explained.
"'Dark Angels'? You mean like rebels?"
"That's one way of looking at it. But the saddest part is that Uncle Adam and his followers still refuse to accept that it was their own fault for their fall from grace. It's like none of them even care," Emily sighed.
"Hmm, I know quite a few people like that myself. Well, what about the two of you, Glitz and Glam? Have either of you two thought about getting boyfriends yourselves?"
"We have, but we're much too shy in terms of romance," Glitz replied.
"I see. Well, this interview session has been most enlightening. Thank you ladies for your time," and with that, Emily and both Siren sisters got up and left, allowing the student to pack up his gear, and just in time too, as the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch period.
"You girls looked like you were having fun with your interview," Luna commented, as they went on to their next class.
"Yeah. I know he said he was going to wait a full week for us to get adjusted, but we thought that getting that interview with him now so that everyone can get to know us all better a bit more easily," Emily replied.
"Besides, most of those questions were pretty straightforward," Glam added.
"Too bad we didn't get too many questions for us," Glitz stated.
"Eh, you might get a chance to answer some more questions later on," Shane replied, as they walked, not knowing that a student was eying them with vindictive intent.
"Too bad those Monsters didn't get MY question. Hopefully as the week progresses, my question will get through," she said, before heading off to her own class.
Meanwhile, back at Royal Woods Elementary School,
It was finally time for show-and-tell, as the first batch of students in Lana and Lola's class showed what they brought in to tell their classmates about. Lana opted to go last, just as the student before her finished up his presentation, "Alright, next up is Lana Loud," the teacher said, as Lana stepped up.
"Thank you. But our last name was changed to 'Reynolds', miss," Lana replied.
"Ah, right! Sorry," her teacher sheepishly said.
"It's alright. Anyhow, for my show-and-tell, I've been given permission by my older brother, Lincoln, who, as you've all probably heard, is travelling around a remote island region outside of Japan, to bring in some of the creatures he's befriended. And they're both right inside of these Pokeballs," Lana said, pulling out both Pokeballs.
"Hold on, before you bring them out, will we need to head outside?" the teacher asked. She didn't know how big a Pokemon could get, and would rather not have the classroom getting trashed, if she could help it.
"Hmm, it probably would be a good idea, especially given these two," Lana replied.
"Alright, you heard her, class. Let's make our way outside so she can give her presentation," the teacher said. With that, the entire class got up and exited the classroom.
"Alright, here are two of the Pokemon that Lincoln's caught during his time in Kanto!" Lana said, tossing the Pokeballs into the air, releasing both of Lincoln's Muk.
"Eww, that one's super stinky!" one student exclaimed, holding her nose upon catching the odor of the Kantonian Muk, as were the rest of the class.
"Phew! It certainly does have a powerful odor! So, these two are those 'Pokemon' things I've heard about?" the teacher asked, holding her nose as well.
"Yes. More accurately, they're the same species, but in different regional forms," Lana replied.
"What does that mean, 'regional forms'?" one boy asked.
"See, according to Lincoln, there are several other regions besides Kanto, and some of them have Pokemon that come in different forms than how they appear in other regions. Muk, along with its pre-evolved form, Grimer, are prime examples of this phenomenon," Lana explained, approaching the Alolan Muk, "This Muk is one that's caught in a region known as 'Alola'. Unlike its counterpart here, which is just a Poison Type alone, Alolan Muk are Poison and Dark Types, and can use moves that it's counterpart CAN'T use," she further explained.
"Wait, these things are poisonous?! Lana, why would you intentionally bring potentially dangerous creatures to school?!" the teacher exclaimed.
"I have to agree with your teacher, Lana," Principal Huggins said, as he made his appearance, "If the health and safety of the rest of the student body is jeopardized in any fashion, then I'll have to revoke yours and your sister's permission to bring any more of these creatures to school," he said, crossing his arms.
"You don't have to worry about it. Pokemon, whether they're wild or owned by a trainer, won't attack unless they're severely provoked. And during our time with them back at our house, we've come to learn that both Muk are very laid back and mellow. Sure, they'll go to cover someone as a means of embracing them, but they don't mean any harm by it," Lana replied.
"Hmm, well… ok… but if any of them does anything to endanger the school or your fellow students, then permission for you and your sisters will be revoked without exception, as per our agreement," Principal Huggins replied.
"Duly noted," Lana replied, as she continued with her presentation, not knowing that some of the Elementary School Students Chandler hired were spying on her.
"So those are the Pokemon that Lincoln guy's been meeting?"
"Talk about wild! Think Chandler will pay extra for this information?"
"Probably. I think she said those two are called 'Muk' or something."
"Well of course they're muck! They're living piles of sludge!"
"Hey, you two!" both boys froze up upon hearing the voice of the hall monitor, looming over them, "Let me see your hall passes!"
"Oh right, here they are!" the first boy replied, as he and his cohort showed their hall passes.
"Where were you both headed?" the hall monitor asked.
"Just to the bathroom," the second boy replied.
"But we got a little sidetracked seeing those," the first boy said, pointing to the pair of Muk, as Lana was having them demonstrate their Ice Punch attacks on a tree, covering a portion of it in ice.
"Whoa, guess those reports I heard weren't lying!" the hall monitor exclaimed, before correcting himself, "Ahem, yes, well, be off with you now," he urged, as both boys left to go to the bathroom.
Meanwhile, at the Team Rocket Island Lab,
Giovanni, still present to see everything with Mewtwo's final steps in creation, was observing as another scientist with pale orange hair and a moustache, similar to Doctor Eggman's from the Sonic the Hedgehog Games, as he placed a strange device on the foreheads of both a Houndour and a Hitmontop, "Now then, just watch sir, as I demonstrate my latest and greatest invention! A way to drastically boost the power of any Pokemon to the highest level," he said, as he then picked up a control box. He then pressed a button, which let in a Golem and a Scyther.
"And just what is the nature of this new weapon, Professor Nanba?" Giovanni asked.
"Observe, and you'll see," Professor Nanba replied, as he flipped a switch on the control box, which activated the devices on both Pokemon's head, which seemed to make them angrier, "These devices allow the Pokemon that they're attached to the ability to unleash they're hidden potential, using the power of Rage. I call it 'Nanba's Nasty Pokemon Provoker', final name is still pending. Now, watch as I turn the dial up to the maximum!" he said, turning a dial on the control box all the way up, which seemed to enrage both Houndour and Hitmontop something fierce, "Now then, Houndour, use Flamethrower on Golem! Hitmontop, Triple Kick on Scyther!" he ordered. Houndour blasted Golem with Flamethrower, while Hitmontop spun around, kicking Scyther all the while. Giovanni was intrigued by how much stronger both Pokemon appeared to be, as their opponents went down in only one attack.
"Fascinating! But if I may ask, what compelled you to invent such a device?" he asked.
"For two main reasons. One, if Mewtwo goes get loose before we can activate the chip inside of its brain, we'll need as many powerful Pokemon as we can in order to track it down and capture it," Professor Nanba replied.
"Hmm, that I can understand. And the second reason?" Giovanni asked.
"In case the Elite 4 or the Kanto Gym Leaders or any other trainer in Kanto attempts to try and stop us, we can blast through them as if they were just sheets of paper," Professor Nanba explained.
"Hmm, that definitely would be a plus, especially with how hard they're attempting to track us all down," Giovanni commented.
"Correct. Unfortunately, even with the generous funding you've been providing, I won't be able to mass produce as many of my Provokers as I would like for our organization," Professor Nanba replied.
"Well, how many do you estimate you can produce?" Giovanni asked.
"My estimation? I'd say about maybe fifty devices, along with ten control boxes, including these ones," Professor Nanba replied.
"Hmm, well, I suppose we'll take what we can get. And would this Provoker also be applied to Mewtwo?" Giovanni asked.
"I would strongly advise AGAINST that, sir. The stimulation from the Provoker could potentially short out the chip, allowing Mewtwo enough free will to not only break free from the Provoker, but from Team Rocket's control as well. And that's only the BEST case scenario that I can imagine," Professor Nanba replied.
"Dare I ask what the worst case scenario could be?" Giovanni asked.
"The added stress of the Provoker on top of the Control Chip could wind up causing significant mental damage to Mewtwo, potentially killing it, thus rendering all our hard work into its creation a waste," Professor Nanba replied.
"Hmm, well, I'd rather not let the money I invested into this project go to waste. Very well! I trust you'll provide your Provokers to squads of our best members?" Giovanni asked.
"That is my intention. If my Provoker is used on a Pokemon that's already powerful, then one can only imagine the destruction it could wreak with the power of rage," Professor Nanba replied.
"Excellent. I'll go ahead and take my leave to leave you and the others to your work. I expect great things from everything you're all developing," Giovanni stated.
"And rest assured, you will NOT be disappointed!" Professor Nanba replied, as he went to work on mass producing his Pokemon Provokers. As soon as Giovanni was out of ear shot, the mad professor grinned maliciously, "Of course, if used correctly, someone more deserving of the position of boss could use these to oust you from your throne!"
Author's Note: Alright guys, we're nearing the OFFICIAL 100th Chapter for this story, and I've already have it all written out, so as soon as I get chapter 99 up, I'll publish THAT chapter along with the 100th special. Some things you can expect to see are some Top 10 Lists (won't say what those lists are for), a behind the scenes look on HOW I decided what other fandoms to include in the story, a list of (potential) future projects, a sneak peek into the second in the Pokemon Gets Loud series, Alola Gets Loud, and a list of future harem members for Lincoln.
Next, in order to add as many adventures between Lincoln's Chartreuse City Gym Battle and Petrel's Mission to capture Lincoln's family (and some of their friends), I'll also be adding a sort of mini-arc for when Lincoln and friends arrive in Periwinkle City for that "certain Flying Pokemon Competition" they were told about by Koga, along with a Cuteness Division Contest, in addition to the Episodes I already provided in an earlier chapter.
Thirdly, I'm thinking of writing OUT the X-Rockets after the final war with Team Rocket. They won't die, but they won't exactly be a part of the series as much anymore, because honestly, I'm running low on ideas on how to include them, even if I use episodes for reference.
Lastly, while I get many of you have ideas you'd like to see added into the series, please know that my knowledge of certain series is extremely limited, and I would rather NOT be pushed into doing something I'd rather not do
