Can he reach them already? I thought that was after Terra.
-
Solid run man. Glad nobody dieded. So question, next couple of episodes start releasing some cool mons. Lapras, Sneasal, soon my favorite (Scyther) looking forward to anything?
-
oh yeahhhh they're kind of the worst way to prepare food but some complexes only allow electric outside grills
-
Which do you prefer gas or electric grills?
-
Everyone needs a song and Florinia is no exception. Her song is one of my personal favorites and something I used in an audition that landed me a role.
P.S everytime why not turns into the dam pokemon in my script I get a little angrier. This joke has gone on too long.
-
The Magmar jumps up and its hand combusts, it avoids Magnezone to everyone's surprise and aims for Julia. Before it lands it's attack Justin grabs it out of the air and slams it on the ground and punches the firebrand in the stomach before tossing him over to Blaze who kicks him upward into the air and jumps with him and kicks him into Luxcalibur who simply grins as we cut away to seeing electric lights going off behind Justin, Blaze, Julia and Magnezone.
JusTIN
You good?
Julia recalls her Magnezone.
JuLIA
I am. But Magnezone was fighting two fire types alone since Rini is grass.
JusTIN
Got any more left?
Julia shakes her head.
Eclipse
Sir, there's two more.
Sirius
Deal with them. I'll handle the leaders.
Justin turns to see three individuals dressed in black. Two of them looking like standard goons while the third is a taller light skinned man with jet black hair and a strange red eyepatch. He has a serious demeanor and husky voice that shows itself with each command. The three are meteor grunts and administrator respectively.
SiRIUS
Children, trying to fight change isn't even laughable. Its pathetic.
JusTIN
Hey Dick Furious, wanna lose another eye.
SiRIUS
Cute bark boy, it wont do any good against us.
JusTIN
Let's find out. Blaze cover me.
Justin and Blaze charge into the room but as soon as he makes it in he is vine whipped in next to Florinia by her Venusaur. Justin turns to see that Blaze is struggling against a Seviper that tried to attack Justin holding its jaw back from biting him.
JusTIN
Blaze!
FloRINIA
While we appreciate your help, please be mindful of sneak attacks. This team has proven quite dangerous as you can see.
Justin looks at Florinia who is faces Sirius and sees that the back of her skirt is torn around her back and a black wound with blood trickling down is showing. Upon closer inspection her eyes are also bloodshot and her stance is wobbly at best. Justin pulls out the rest of his soft boiled and pours in on Florinia's back.
JusTIN
Its no antidote but at the very least it'll perk you up.
FloRINIA
Sentiment appreciated however if this increases the flow of poison through my body you've just aided in my demise.
JusTIN
(sighs)
You're welcome.
Florinia's legs begin to wobble and her Venasaur uses a vine to steady her. Justin moves the vine and puts her on his back.
JusTIN
So you weren't kidding.
FloRINIA
I hardly see how this could be amusing.
An Electivire rushes at Justin and begins throwing a flurry of electrified punches which he is barely able to dodge.
FlORINIA
You cannot avoid it while holding me.
JusTIN
Yes I can. But I can't counter. LUX!
Luxcalibur runs past the fighting Serviper and Blaze to block the attacks of Electivire.
JUSTIN
Thanks bud. Thunder bolt!
Luxcalibur looks at Justin in confusion.
JusTIN
Trust me.
Luxcalibur nods and fires electric blasts from his mouth at Electivire who simply absorbs the attacks.
ECLIPSE
Is he insane.
SiRIUS
Hm...
Florinia begins poking Justin in the back.
JusTIN
You focus on helping Blaze. I got this.
FloRINIA
Very well. Venasaur catch the Serviper by the tail so the Combusken can attack.
JuLIA
Magnezone I need you. Keep Chandelure at bay a little longer.
Magnezone comes back out, clearly tired and begins leading the ghostly lamp away from the group while Blaze continues his fight now alongside Venusaur.
JusTIN
Lux keep the bolts going.
Even with high powered strikes the bolts have no effect on the unflinching electric giant. The powered up Pokémon takes a runner's stance as if it intends to charge Justin and Florinia.
JusTIN
(confused)
What the hell?
ECLIPSE
You seem to be unclear but Electivire has the rare ability to to turn electric attacks into energy and boost its physical speed. And with every volt you just pumped in, this next hit is gonna hurt. Now then Electivire. Wild Charge!
Blue sparks emanate from Electivire as it leaves its stance to a full blown charge.
SiRIUS
ECLIPSE YOU FOOL!
The ground below Luxcalibur breaks below Luxcalibur's feet as it jumps in the path between Electivire and his right front paw glows lightly.
JusTIN
Give em the goods!
Just as Electivire would reach Justin and Florinia it is clothes-lined Luxcalibur's paw as its using "Superpower" and flips over its would be targets and begins crashing through the doors of the factors and crashing through the tracks outside.
JusTIN
So as I was saying Clyclops... Woof woof.
SirIUS
Incompetent. Two of these clowns are all you had to handle.
JusTIN
To be fair, I was one of the clowns.
SiRIUS
Do not forget this day boy, do not believe you will ever be safe. We do not forget and we are everywhere.
JusTIN
Not gonna announce your names or evil plan?
SiRIUS
I'll be sure to carve it all into your tombstone. Come now.... we're leaving.
In a puff of smoke Sirius, Astor and Eclipse are all gone.
JusTIN
A simple no would suffice.
FloRINIA
Thank you for your efforts Justin.
FeRN
What about me?
JusTIN
What about you?
Julia goes over to the center console.
FloRINIA
Justin please begin our departure, we've little time.
JustIN
Seriously how is she a city official.
Florinia recalls her Pokémon as her and Justin walk out of the room with Blaze and Luxcalibur running after them.
FloRINIA
She's quite adept with handling a variety of situations and her demeanor is quite comforting to her people.... so I hear.
Justin and company are gone leaving just Julia and Fern.
FeRN
So what are you doing again, crazy?
JULIA
Adding some flare duh.
FERN
Adding-
Julia runs revealing a pile of C4 at the computer station.
FeRN
OH SHIT.
We cut to a few moments later and see everyone has safely escaped the building and is walking toward's Seacrest's garden. Fern has slightly burned clothes.
FERN
I hate you all.
Justin, Julia and Blaze snicker.
FeRN
That's it I'm out!
Fern bolts off in a huff.
JusTIN
(sarcastically)
Oh no...
FlORINIA
Where are you taking me?
JusTIN
My.... can't say house since I don't pay rent. My butler's estate?
The group arrives at the hole in the wall to Seacrest's garden and Seacrest who is sitting in a lawn chair surrounded by bug Pokémon notices them. There are three plates of food sitting on a small table.
JusTIN
Hey pops... I brought friends over for dinner. That cool?
SeACREST
I suppose someone has to eat it. Its getting cold.
Justin and company walk around the normal way and are out of sight. Rebecca walks over to Seacrest.
REBECCA
Gonna go to sleep now?
SeACREST
Yeah...
Seacrest starts walking inside. We hear him mumble something before he disappears.
SeACREST
I told you he'd be okay.
Rebecca smiles and we cut to black.
End of Episode 5.
-
JusTIN
(even more confused)
Like actually a robot?
Fern starts laughing and Florinia walks towards the factory.
JulIA
No. She's Rini.
JusTIN
So she's a robot named Rini?
JULIA
(upset)
Noooooooooooooo
FlorINIA
The Meteors have probably been alerted to our presence.
JusTIN
Imagine that.
FlORINIA
We don't have to.
JusTIN
God damn it. Lux?
Luxcalibur looks inside and points to both left and right sides.
JusTIN
Okay so they don't know I'm here so if you could continue to distract them.
FlorINIA
Pardon. Justin if I'm not mistaken.
JusTIN
Yeah?
FloRINIA
Judging by your Luxray's pointing in two directions it would appear that the path diverges inside.
JusTIN
That'd be my guess.
FloRINIA
To avoid an ambush of any kind perhaps you could combine efforts with Fern.
JusTIN
Julia... You want me to team up with the walking hindrance.
FERN
Excuse me?
JUsTIN
There is no excuse for you.
JULIA
Ummm time's a bit of a factor.
JusTIN
Imagine that. Cmon grasshole we're going left.
Justin, Blaze, Luxcalibur and Fern rush in to see a couple goons and Mightyenas running towards them. The inside of the building is old and decaying. Rusted metal and peeling paint cover the floors and machinery alike. A powerful stench fills the whole building and we see the massively toxic lake of sludge from which the smell emanates. The lights flicker occasionally. The interior as a whole looks as if it will fall apart any moment.
JusTIN
Fern, keep us clear and attack wherever Lux says to attack. Blaze, lets go!
Justin grabs Blaze's arm and throws him towards one of the Mightyenas and he slides on the floor kicking one into the air and following up by kicking him towards Justin who jump kicks the black dog into the steel bars that prevent falling into the sewage.
FERN
Snivy you're up.
The small snake lets loose two vines that locks the other Mightyena in place allowing Blaze to knock it out with ease.
Meteor
Damn. These kids are no joke.
Julia and Florinia walk into the building and see the combat going on. In front of Florinia is her Cacturne which lets loose sand below its feet with every step.
JuLIA
Oh. His Torchic evolved that's nice.
The two meteors grab their next Pokéballs and Justin and Blaze run to the metal bars near the sewage lake.
JustIN
Off the floors!
Julia and Florinia look on in confusion as Luxcalibur lights up with energy then places his tail on the floor to discharge electricity. The two meteor goons are shocked and lose consciousness. We look over to see Justin and Blaze land after having jumped off the bars and even farther to see Snivy has vined himself and Fern on to the bars above to protect himself and his trainer. Julia and Florinia remain unscathed due to the sand below their feet.
FloRINIA
Interesting use in terrain.
FeRN
EXCEPT THE PART WHERE YOU LET PEOPLE KNOW!
FlORINIA
He said to remove yourself from the flooring.
JusTIN
Thanks Rini-bot.
FlORINIA
My name is Florinia and you're welcome.
Julia wears a wide toothy grin.
JULIA
That was an interesting move Justin.
Justin smiles back with confidence.
JusTIN
What can I say, the move just sort of hit me the other day.
Blaze crosses his arms to share in his teammate's moment.
JULIA
Cute.
JusTIN
Pound it.
Justin and Blaze pound fists feeling accomplished in their feat.
FloRINIA
It seems the this is where the path diverges so a similar dissection in the party can be executed in order to progress.
FerN
And in english?
Both Justin and Julia
She means split up.
JusTIN
Stupid.
FeRN
Sorry I don't speak computer.
JusTIN
Speaking isn't your strong suit.
FERN
Battling isn't yours.
Florinia and Julia continue down their path of the building. Luxcalibur moves closer to Justin and begins tugging on his pants.
JusTIN
In a minute Lux!
Justin focuses back on Fern.
JuLIA
So much for sneaking in huh?
FloRINIA
Perhaps this will grant us the cover of noise I anticipated. I assume he'll be much louder if he has a friend.
Julia and Florinia are gone.
JusTIN
You wanna do this again?!
FeRN
Any day of the week Justurd.
JusTIN
That is the closest thing to damage you're ever going to do to me.
FeRN
OH REALLY!
JusTIN
YEAH REALLY! YOU GOOFY GREEN GOBLIN!
Luxcalibur roars and Blaze is in a fighting stance.
JusTIN
What.... awwww man.
We pan around to see that Justin and Fern have been surrounded.
FERN
Good going genius, now we're surrounded.
JusTIN
Literally the opposite of my plan which-
Justin looks around to see Florinia and Julia are gone along with the trail of sand that should lead to them.
JusTIN (V.O.)
Motherf- he was bait and they made me his baby sitter.
FerN
Which what?
JusTIN
Nothing Fern.... Nothing at all.
FeRN
So should we make a run for the door?
JusTIN
No we need to fix this plant here and now.
FerN
So we're taking them all on?
JusTIN
You're Arceus damn right!
The shot ends with the meteors calling out a myriad of Golbats and Mightyenas. Luxcalibur looks up to Justin with a worried expression. However Blaze, Fern and Snivy appear to be ready for a fight.
JusTIN
No buddy. Just work on countering. We can handle the rest.
Luxcalibur begins to discharge small amounts of electricity and we cut back to the garden.
InT. sEACREST'S GARDEN
Seacrest, Rebecca and Nancy are seen working on the wall with a few Reborn staff helping them rebuild.
ReBECCA
Think Justin was able to sneak in or is just run and gun?
SEACREST
Run and gun.
REBECCA
He seemed like he had a plan.
SEACREST
He also had a plan to have a gym badge by now.
We cut for a moment to Blackwater to see Justin pinned down by meteor goons and Fern shoulder ram into them knocking them over. Justin grabs Fern and dives out of the way allowing Luxcalibur to shoot them with a thunderbolt which burns their clothes and skin, knocking them out in the process. We cut back to the garden after.
REBECCA
That's hardly the same.
SEACREST
You're right. Fighting terrorists is easier than planned monitored fights.
REBECCA
Oh...
NANCY
(smiling)
There isn't any need to worry about Justin. I'm certain everything will go exactly as planned.
We cut to see Julia and Florinia walking through the factory and making their way to a giant metal door which is clearly newer than most of the machinery arond it.
JuLIA
Okay this is weird huh Rini?
FlORINIA
Peculiar the state of this door in comparison to the corroded status of the machinery in the building. Perhaps an addition made to keep something in.
JULIA
Or out.
FlORINIA
Plausible...
(florinia looks around and spots a control panel)
A method of entry has been discovered. I shall hack into the device and we will likely reach our desired destination.
Florinia walks towards the console but the door opens slowly and a white light breaks through pouring into the room they occupy.
JULIA
Rini if its okay with you, I'll get the boomies ready.
FlORINIA
Perhaps your inherent disposition towards explosive solutions will prove useful when our predicament has been taken care of.
A voice breaks in along with the light a tall silhouette opens its arms as if greeting the two.
???
I couldn't of said it better myself.
InT. blackwaTER FACTORY corridor
Justin, Blaze, Luxcalibur and Fern are resting. Everyone is passing around a glass of "Softboiled" drink that Justin used for his earlier injuries.
FERN
This stuff is actually good. Turns out you aren't a total waste of a teammate.
JusTIN
Yeah. Fixed my leg up good. Instantly actually.
FERN
I bet. This crap is like Rare Candy.
JusTIN
No power boost though.
FERN
Poor uneducated novice. Rare Candy doubles here in Reborn as a crazy ass trippy drug. As much as I don't like losers, I recommend you stay away from it.
JusTIN
I'll do that. You good to go yet guys?
Blaze raises a fist and Luxcalibur wags his tail lightly in confirmation.
JusTIN
Let's go.
Justin extends a hand to Fern but he gets up on his own and the two continue down the hallway until they an open doorway where Julia and her Magnezone are being attacked by a Magmar and Chandelure.
JuLIA
Magnezone Mirror Coat!
Fire explodes from the doorway but it is all taken into Magnezone's body and it shoots a condensed energy blast that both opposing Pokémon dodge. Justin and his team begin running towards Julia.
Astor (O.S.)
MAGMAR FIRE PUNCH!
-
Wow time flies huh. Already made five of these things. Maybe I'll reach episode 19 before Ame. Dare to dream. Anyway episode five sees the return of a couple cool cats and the introduction to everyone's favorite Flo-bot, unless you're a little more progressive. There's action, there's comedy and honestly not enough time to do everything but this is a small piece of the journey so I wanted to keep it to one episode. Comment, like, yell, rant or just do some curls in the gym. Surprise me. Without further add dew here is episode 5: The Blackwater-gate Scandal.
InT. Seacrest's Garden Morning
Justin, Blaze, Luxcalibur, Seacrest, Rebecca and Nancy are all sitting in the garden relaxing. An exterior shot lets us know that the garden is closed today. Caution tape as well as construction equipment by the wall tells us that the crew has been working on restoration.
Justin
First big party and I miss it. Lame.
Rebecca
I could have done without it.
Seacrest
Same.
NanCY
I'm sorry that the Reborn staff was not able to help you. I feel responsible for not assisting.
SEACREST
Don't worry about it Nancy. If anything blame the boy for not being here.
JUSTIN
Thanks pops.
SEACREST
Anytime. I'm getting another beer want one boy?
JUSTIN
Yessir!
Seacrest heads inside with two empty bottles.
REBECCA
Didn't think you were that old Justin.
JUSTIN
Me neither. But hey who needs thinking when you have beer amiright?
Nancy shakes her head and Rebecca looks astonished as Seacrest brings Justin another beer. Justin winks as Seacrest turns away to sit in his chair.
JUSTIN
I know he's technically an infant but can I let Blaze have some?
SeACREST
(dismissive)
Your Pokémon.
JUSTIN
Blaze wanna try?
The adolescent Pokémon excitedly grabs the beer and takes a small gulp in his beak and shakes his head in disgust. Everyone laughs.
JUSTIN
That's the appropriate response. Drug free is the way to be. Except rare candy.
SEACREST
So I wont work you to the bone today.
JUSTIN
You feeling alright?
SEACREST
(annoyed)
Watch it... No I'm sure you'd like to train or go on adventures.
JUSTIN
I love s'ploring.
NANCY
That's actually beneficial.
JUSTIN
Of course it is.
NANCY
I'm sure you've seen the Blackwater factory by now.
JUSTIN
Yeah I plan...
(thinking)
Go on...
NANCY
Yes Justin if you can figure out what has been going on in there we will pay you for your efforts.
JUSTIN
Always nice to hear but why not just send in the boys in blue.
NANCY
We've lost all video feed and communication and half the police force is trapped in the jungle created in Beryl.
JUSTIN
Damn. So the urgency is-
NANCY
Extremely high. Our fresh water reserves are plummeting and I'm sure you can do the math there.
JuSTIN
People-water=Frowny Face.
NANCY
Correct.
JUSTIN
Well I planned on doing it for free but can I actually make a request Nan?
NANCY
Depends?
JUSTIN
Lux as it happens is a little stronger than he can handle. Power bracers would be a nice treat.
NANCY
How many?
JUSTIN
Five.
NANCY
That's roughly a thousand pounds.
JUSTIN
I can count.
NANCY
You find out what's going on in Blackwater and you will have the bracers. Of course this job is off the books. Reborn has enough travesties to deal with.
JUSTIN
I'm sure I can handle it. I hope. Blaze, you game?
Blaze lets loose flames from his wrist.
JUSTIN
Lux, I may be dealing with real danger. Can-
Lux pulls a surprised Blaze to his feet and begins walking to the door.
JUSTIN
That was easy.
Justin finishes his drink.
SEACREST
Be careful boy.
REBECCA
Yeah Justin, it might be the black dressed freaks we've been hearing about.
JUSTIN
Why they gotta be black?
NANCY
The rumors point to a terrorist cell known as Team Meteor.
JUSTIN
Fanatics chasing a legendary that wont obey them. Tale as old as time.
NANCY
Perhaps but they have numbers and power. You don't need to fight them just reactivate the cleaning devices or destroy the now poisonous factory.
JUSTIN
I'll choose the simpler option if that's cool.
NANCY
Call me the moment you figure it out or if you face a problem and I'll send in help.
JUSTIN
Who?
NANCY
There are a few leaders nearby who are all rather talented.
JUSTIN
I'm guessing you can't send them in first because of something dumb.
NANCY
If you only knew.
JUSTIN
Alright. Later Feraligatrs.
Justin starts running out and through the Opal Ward up the tracks alongside Blaze and Luxcalibur.
Ext. opal ward afternoon
Justin, Blaze and Luxcalibur are staring at the outside of a worn down factory. No one is outside but the three are at a safe distance away to observe.
JUSTIN
Alright boys, this requires a little bit of stealth but unfortunately I don't have x-ray vision so I can't... Wait Lux.
The lion Pokémon perks up in attention.
JUSTIN
Do the thing friend.
Luxcalibur's eyes light up as he begins scanning the area around the door.
JUSTIN
How many we looking at bud?
Luxcalibur scratches the ground a few times.
JUSTIN
Three huh, not b-
He continues scratching looking up to apparently get a head count. Justin sighs.
JUSTIN
You can stop Lux. I think I have an idea of how many are inside... I'd say just point us to the main console but I doubt either of us would know what to look for. Lux was everyone inside wearing black?
Justin points to his shirt and Lux confirms with a nod.
JUSTIN
New plan. We sneak in at night. This works better since I can teach you guys how to operate at night and get some black clothes for you both. Should be easy since you're both covered in dark fur. That's actually pretty convenient.
Justin laughs as he begins walking back down the tracks.
ExT. blackwater factory
Justin, Blaze and Luxcalibur are back at the factory, this time much closer and all three are covered in black cloths. Two meteor guards are at the front gate with Mightyenas.
JUSTIN
(whispering)
Okay so Blaze we only went over the basics but how do we fight in stealth.
Blaze points at Justin's ribs, knees and neck.
JUSTIN
Good boy. Lux you're our eyes. If we get cornered this is a bust.
Luxcalibur nods.
JUSTIN
Alright Team shenanigans, lets do this.
Just as Justin is about to lead his team from the shadows, Fern, Julia and a green haired woman in a dark yellow skirt and green rimmed glasses approaches the front door and his team gets back down.
JUSTIN
(upset)
No no no. What the hell are they doing here?!
Julia
I'm glad team boomies is here to finally shut this down.
Blaze has to muffle Justin's voice and hold him back
JusTIN
(outraged)
TEAM BOOMIES CAN HAVE TEAM SHENANIGAN'S SLOPPY FUCKING SECONDS!
Blaze gestures Justin to take deep breaths which he does.
JusTIN
I'll be alright.
Fern
Alright ladies, the top dog is about to show you a new trick he invented. Snivy, Ferroseed. Wrecking ball!
Fern throws two Pokéballs and the aforementioned Pokémon emerge. Snivy wraps a vine whip around Ferroseed and begins spinning him rapidly. Luxcalibur places his tail on Justin pinning him to the ground.
JusTIN
HE DIDN'T INVENT THAT! THAT'S FROM ME KICKING THAT DUMB IRON PINECONE AT HIS EQUALLY DUMB FACE!
Snivy launches the Ferroseed at the guards knocking them both unconscious.
JusTIN
I'm good... I'm good...
Justin sits up again.
JusTIN
They might be of some help in getting in and out quickly and quietly. Emphasis of course on quietly.
Julia walks to the now exposed door and places a small black box on it. Then everyone takes a few steps back.
JusTIN
(getting angry again)
Oh my gooooooooooood
After a few moments the door blows off and flies towards Justin and company nearly decapitating him and his team. Justin is now at the boiling point.
JusTIN
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!
Everyone now diverts their attention towards Justin, Blaze and Luxcalibur who have come out of hiding.
JULIA
Hi Justin!
FERN
Sup nerd.
JULIA
(confused)
Why are you dressed like a ninja?
Justin goes directly to Julia still furious, his Pokémon holding him back.
JusTIN
I had a plan to sneak in here and shut down whatever's letting the poison spread or restart the filtration. THEN YOU KAMIKAZE THE FRONT DOOR!
Florinia
Technically speaking no one perished during our entry or due to our explosion so kamikaze is the incorrect terminology.
Justin looks at the cold woman in confusion.
JusTIN
Who's this now?
FERN
That's Flobot.
-
Sean you're question about meteor funding actually raises a question. Where the actual ^*$# could they get funding from. I haven't seen a bank in a pokemon game literally ever. Where is this money coming from.
p.s (elite 4 intesifies)
-
I think i do have an underappreciation for puns. Some of these are so obvious. Some not so much, You could put a gun to my head I wouldn't of figured out the spirit trio's origin.
-
So Pokemon names lately have been blowing my mind as I've been writing more and more about them. And I'm questioning how many obvious names they've made that I should of caught on too.
Latest discovery Feraligatr. It literally just says feral gator. Am I an idiot or was that not obvious to anyone else.
-
This is good. I guess it just makes sense that the characters we create are similar to us in one way or another. Even villanous characters have a little bit of the creator in them. Me personally the villain that I like the most that I've written is pretty much me if I was pushed farther and desperate to win. I suppose it would be a little difficult to create a character you have no connections with.
-
So like many in this portion of the forum I have an OC or OCs that I relate to. I think mainly because like many writers characters that I create are a piece of myself. A person that is a fraction of me that reacts in scenarios that a certain part of me agrees with. #1 is a secret agent that feels powerless all too often but tries his hardest to enjoy everything around him. Is there any character that you've created you feel the same way about and why if you don't mind going in detail.
-
Let me see if I got this right....
1-relax
2- don't give lemons to other people
3-don't blame the lemon as it is a product of people
4- don't trust anyone named life
5- dont waste lemon skins.
Solid advice guys. Consistent but I think step one probably works the best
-
So as you may have guessed from the topic life has been serving me all the lemons and not the fun sexy beyonce kind. I've been in film making for a while now and my last few attempts at projects that didn't belong to someone else have blown up in my face. And the friends I thought I had well.... you know how this song and dance is going. I hate being upset but even I'm having problems staying optimistic. So instead of rambling the day away I'll just ask how do you guys usually deal with the whole (insert curse word and directed person) "I'm gonna do (whatever) and I'm gonna feel great!
P.S I hope you all feel great
-
Totally forgot the charlotte nerf where she had two ninetails and typhlosion had energy ball instead of solar beam. At any rate errors were made and even though you can't see it, I did bow to your epicness.
-
I'm not saying you're definitely gonna lose one to the fire gym but I am saying your pokeball waistband might be a little bit lighter after the fight.
P.S "the fuck is a dog?"
-
Will HMs/TMs that have outside use have new animations? i.e dig/teleport? Just curious
-
I know how sad you must be losing bird after bird so I thought something might cheer you up...
-
Is there a soundtrack for E16's new musics. I'd like to give them a listen without running through page after page of comments.
-
As per usual I have a theme song lined up and sorry to say that Blaze's song isn't yet although I know what it is. Just not the time kids. This episode's character song is Luxcalibur who everytime I write his character doing something this song comes on. I feel as though this thoroughly describes his mentality on a good day. The original version of course.
-
JUSTIN
Blaze.
Blaze walks closer to Justin looking up curiously to his sparring partner.
JUSTIN
Odds are that one day and only one day. We will lose. Not anytime soon obviously but one day. If that time comes.
InT. UNDERGROUND RAILS
Blaze and the Noibat leader are on the ground getting barraged with a hail of lightning attacks from afar by Klinklang. Blaze sees the Noibats being constantly assaulted and picks himself up.
JUSTIN (V.O.)
We get stronger and we fight again.
Blaze starts releasing fire at an exponential rate. A bolt of electricity knocks him down again.
JUSTIN (v.O.)
If we lose again then we rise again.
Blaze stands firmly again, the flames growing more erratic. He gets shot down again
JUSTIN (v.O.)
You might be wondering what if that just doesn't work.
Blaze stands again now completely engulfed in flames. Klinklang shoots an electrified metal disk at the inferno.
JUSTIN (v.O.)
Well then no need to worry. Because it means we kept trying until we died.
The flames disappear to show Blaze has evolved into a Combusken. His talons, claws, legs and eyes are jet black with black ruffled feathers going up a line on his chest. The remainder of his torso a brilliant red and orange hue mixture. His right arm is raised to show a white light around his hand where the metal disk was about to connect. Justin walks into the area to see his newly evolved friend facing his foe with a determined look on his face.
JUSTIN
Blaze... You evolved...
Staring in shock at the white light.
JUSTIN
Holy shit you learned protect?
Blaze nods his head and the metal disk drops, cracking the concrete.
JUSTIN
Well... Finish your fight friend, you don't need my help here.
Blaze pounds his new fists together and fire bursts from his limbs. He then charges Klinklang and gives it an absurd combination of punches and kicks that slowly lift it higher into the air. When high enough Blaze kicks it into the ceiling. The monster falls to the floor, its gear is slowing down but it isn't finished as it starts charging electricity. Blaze jumps a foot into the air and curls up for a moment to charge up fire, he then opens himself up and the energy releases engulfing both himself and Klinklang in an Overheat attack. When the smoke settles Blaze slowly walks from the defeated scrap pile towards Justin.
JUSTIN
Blaze, I'm sorry. I did not react well to losing. I'm sorry if I hurt-
Blaze hugs his first friend tightly and Justin reciprocates.
JUSTIN
I know how it feels being looked down on Blaze. So I want you to know it wasn't your fault. It was OUR fault. We win together, we lose together.
The two separate. Blaze nods.
JUSTIN
So then... Let's take these guys back to Seacrest, they need serious attention.
Blaze grabs Justin's shoulder before her can walk away. Justin turns in confusion and sees Blaze raise his arm and make a fist.
JUSTIN
You've been waiting a long time to do that huh.
Blaze smiles and the two fist bump.
JUSTIN
Congratulations buddy.
We cut to outside the bridge-tunnel to see there is a rainstorm.
JUSTIN
Dang. Let's get back quick bud.
ExT. julia's powerplant
Luxcalibur as a young Luxio sits between wires and power consoles outside Julia's gym slowly wagging his little tail. After sitting for a moment rain picks up and quickly turns to storm. Luxio looks up as lightning strikes and thunder roars. Lightning hits the ground in front of him and from the flash comes a giant four legged Pokémon. It licks him on the face a bit which does nothing to raise his spirits. Lightning strikes again and we see its form clearly in the night. It is Raikou and it speaks with a stern but soothing femenine voice in a broken dialect.
Raikou
Son... Strong... Humans... Fragile
Luxcalibur turns away and covers his face with his tail. His mother moves the tail from his ashamed face and picks up the young cub to his feet.
RAIKOU
Choice... Sadness... Or try again...
The young cub lets out its fiercest roar with is overwhelmed by the thunder. His legendary mother roars and it pierces all sound in the city and the heavens. People all over the town are seen wondering where the loud roar came from. Luxcalibur begins wagging his tail cheerfully and running around his mother.
RAIKOU
Be happy... My child...
The young cub rubs his face against his mother's leg and lightning strikes and we see Luxcalibur as he is in present day alone in the power plant's field. In the distance, past the fence, Justin and Blaze are running past and catch a glimpse of Luxcalibur.
JUSTIN
Holy crap, is that Lux? Did he evolve too? AM I GOING TO EVOLVE NOW? Blaze take these guys to Seacrest. I'll catch up.
Justin puts the young dragons on Blaze's shoulders and he runs off towards the garden. Justin runs around to see Luxcalibur scared and backing towards the gate.
JUSTIN
Luxcalibur... That is you right, otherwise this was a bad decision.
Luxcalibur looks around nervous then lowers himself and covers his face. Justin approaches with caution.
JUSTIN
What's wrong Lux?
Justin's phone rings and he picks it up.
JUSTIN
Hello?
SEACREST
Finally got the power back on. Justin, you need to find Luxcalibur he was hurt protecting the garden.
JUSTIN
I found him, what happened. Ss everyone okay?
SEACREST
Yeah. He... Scared off the thugs but one of their Pokémon didn't survive. When the kid called him a monster he just froze. I called for him but he ran off.
JUSTIN
I see... I think I got this. I'll be back soon. Help Blaze, he has injured Noibats with him and he's on his way to you.
SEACREST
Got it.
Justin hangs up and sits down facing Luxcalibur.
JUSTIN
Lux.
The lion ignores him, keeping his face and his shame covered.
JUSTIN
Lux, you look at me right now!
The scared animal raises his head and looks in fear at his friend.
JUSTIN
I don't know what happened to you before. I may never know. But I do know that what you did today wasn't wrong. You only lift your lazy ass paws to help people. I get now why you don't like fighting. You don't like what happens when you fight because you clearly hit hard.
Luxcalibur's expression settles a bit, his fear replaced with curiousity as if hoping Justin understands his plight.
JUSTIN
But if you run from this, your problem will not be solved. I can help you. Then you can play with your buddies in the garden and not worry about hurting them.
Luxcalibur runs over to Justin and pounds his paws lightly on Justin's chest.
JUSTIN
If you're asking do I promise then yes my friend. I promise.
Luxcalibur rubs his face against Justin's while bellowing in a combination of sadness and happiness.
JUSTIN
This is a totally new side of you which I am super glad to see and all but its raining and we're in a powerplant. One unlucky strike and-
Lightning strikes but before hitting the ground it miraculously bends upward and back to the building.
JUSTIN
(terrified)
Can we please go now.
Luxcalibur picks Justin up and throws him on his back.
JUSTIN
(terrified)
Wait, we never practiced this!
Luxcalibur then jumps out of the power plant. Raikou stands atop the building watching her son and his screaming partner run off.
RAIKOU
Stay happy... My child...
End of episode 4.
-
The next shot we see Shinx yawning sitting next to his young owner who is playing with a gameboy. The child lays his head on Shinx's body as he plays. The small cub looks around for a moment then closes his eyes and goes to sleep. The boy's father and mother walk into the living room and stand side by side in front of the boy.
FATHER
Hey champ... Can you put down the game for a minute?
BOY
Yes sir.
He happily turns his game off and places it on the floor then looks up smiling at his father while petting his resting friend.
MOTHER
We need to talk about your mon-
FATHER
Your Pokémon. We like him but...
BOY
But what?
MOTHER
He's dangerous and he needs to go.
BOY
No. He's my best friend and he likes to play. And he's the only one who can ever find me in hide and seek.
MOTHER
I'm sorry but he has to go.
BOY
NO! YOU CAN'T MAKE HIM LEAVE!
The boy's willful smile has been broken and is quickly replaced with rage and sadness. Tears flow down his sorrowful face as he pleads his parents to overturn their decision.
BOY
HE WOULDN'T LEAVE ME. I WONT LEAVE HIM.
MOTHER
He has to go. He's too strong, he breaks everything. His playing will get worse. When he gets stronger and older or if god forbid he evolves, he could seriously hurt us and it could be on accident.
BOY
But-
FATHER
We don't think he's bad son. He's just too much for any of us to handle... its for the best.
The small lion cub wakes up and smiles unwittingly towards his future ex-owners. He purs lightly and walks slowly around the uncomfortable room.
FATHER
I... Think we should get going champ.
The small child is speechless and drags his feet towards the door with the small cub following behind him. Just as he reaches for the knob his lion guardian bites his shirt and jumps away from the door. In bursts a Charmeleon and in an instant the door is torn in half and blood drips on the carpet of the quaint home. The mother horrified looks as her husband's arm is missing and lays mutilated on the ground. The Charmeleon is clamped to the wall by its claw. A man dressed in red and black garbs walks in wearing a toothy grin.
Magma
No blood.
The Charmeleon jumps off the wall and begins swinging wildly at the defenseless father who does his best to maintain distance. His torso getting cut up even with successful dodges.
MAGMA
No bone.
The mother screaming as she falls to her knees.
MoTHER
Please Arceus stop!
MAGMA
No ash.
The small cub emanates electricity as he stares at the imminent threat. His child owner hugs him tightly.
BOY
Don't fight. They said you're dangerous.
MAGMA
No kid. I... am the danger.
MoTHER
Why are you doing this?
MAGMA
For glory baby.
BOY
You stay here. I will stop them and mommy wont make you leave.
The Shinx's sparks die down as his small owner stands tall. He runs towards the Charmeleon and kicks it during its assault on the boy's father. The flame Pokémon haults and turns to the angry child and cocks back its arm as if to strike but the father takes this opening to grab its arm with his remaining hand and flips him over his body and slams him into the ground. He then looms over the shaken up Pokémon furiously.
FATHER
Don't you dare touch my fu-
Before he can finish his sentence the Charmelon lets loose a flamethrower upwards that consumes his upper half and burns through the roof of the house. The father's torso and face are heavily burned with all clothes above the waist missing entirely.
MAGMA
Don't stand in front of a Fire mon's face brother. My boy spits hot fire. Oh and runt...
The Magma kicks the boy and he rolls across the room. His mother goes to attack the thug but he punches her in the face and kicks her to the ground. The lights in the room start to flicker.
InT. sEACREST GARDEN
Luxcalibur's fight against Darmanitan continues. He has taken a few blows as his eye and tail are both bleeding.
DARM
Damn meow mix, can you just die so I can chill until this Michael guy gets here. And is anyone else alive.
A Magma grunt stands slowly raising a Pokéball but Luxcalibur runs from the Darmanitan and clips his leg and catches the Pokéball in his mouth then crushes it with a mighty crunch. He spits out the remains and a Missingno comes out slowly from the wreckage. Luxalibur looks on in horror at the digital monstrosity but it is shattered as Darmanitan punches through it and continues his assault on Luxcalibur who due to the flames that surround him and the barrage is taking constant damage. He jumps back to get some space behind a tree only to see a Caterpie that has been too afraid to flee.
DaRM
Darm Jr. I want that kitty burnt in the next ten seconds.
The flaming ape monster turns and salutes to his owner with an unsettling grin. He cocks back for a haymaker and swings full strength tearing down the tree. After the tree falls we look in the air to see Luxcalibur holding the Caterpie in his teeth. He lands and slowly places the Caterpie down then his two front legs give out.
SEACREST
Luxcalibur!
Seacrest runs out in front of Luxcalibur. You leave this animal alone. He's done.
DARM
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't I in control of this situation right now?
SEACREST
Screw yourself.
DARM
Would if I could. Darm Jr. Belly Drum.
The wild fire Pokémon beats its chest feverently until it begins bleeding, even its ribs crack at the immense slams. As it bangs on it's arms, chest and forhead veins all pertrude past its skin, muscles doubling in size. The flaming eyebrows far more prominent.
DaRM
So ladies, don't know if you've caught on but the next one is gonna hurt. So we gonna tell me where Michael is or you gonna die like dumbass friends that don't know when to quit.
SEACREST
Go team Aqua.
DARM
Not your best choice of dying words but far from the worst decision you've made I'm sure.
Lightning strikes the ground all around the garden. Sparks rise and the lights coming from Seacrest's manor flicker.
DARM
Oh this is all ominous and shit. I wonder who is gonna win, the guy whose been wrecking shit or the dying old man and beaten up house cat.
InT. OPAL WARD HOME
We see the father crawling over to his son to shield him from the rampant Charmeleon's flames.
MAGMA
This isn't your lucky day folks. But if it makes you feel better, I'll have a few more dollars in my pocket by the end of tonight.
The father manages to stand holding his son while taking fire blasts to the back. He walks towards the door but is stopped when the Magma places his hand on his shoulder. The thug pulls a knife from his pocket as his Charmeleon walks up close. The two are ready to strike but before they do lightning strikes through the hole Charmeleon created earlier and hits the Shinx. A flash of light later and it has evolved into a Luxio.
InT. SEACREST GARDEN
All the energy from Seacrest's garden collects as lightning strikes Luxcalibur's back and a blinding light causes everyone to shield their eyes. From the light emerges the electrified lion king. With a noble roar the flames are all but extinguished. He jumps towards Darmanitan.
InT. OPAL WARD HOME
The newfound Luxio leaps towards the Magma goon and his Charmeleon, he bites down on the tail and rips it off with relative ease and then charges the group pushing everyone outside into a nearby fountain except the small child. With a roar another bolt of lightning strikes himself while in the pool of water effectively ending the fight. The mother runs outside to bear witness to the atrocity. She sees her husband, the thief and the Charmelon all burned to death in the brown pool of water next to the angry young lion. The child rises to call for his friend.
BOY
Luxcalibur...
He finally passes out from exhaustion. The young Luxcalibur walks over to the boy but his mother runs between them.
MoTHER
STAY AWAY!
Lux's countenance goes from anger to concern as he sees the mother's fear.
MoTHER
YOU KILLED MY HUSBAND! GET AWAY FROM HERE! STAY AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK YOU MONSTER!
Luxcalibur looks distraught with tears rolling down his furry cheeks. Accepting the matter he runs away from the harrowing scene.
InT. SEACREST GARDEN
We return to the scene after Luxcalibur leaped to see him crashing into Darmanitan upon impact the superpowered primeape explodes into pieces but the leap goes farther as he crashes into the wall below Darm causing the Magma admin to fall.
DARM
Holy shit.
Darm stares at the furious lion drenched in blood as it stares back. Their eyes locked Darm recognizes this as his end. Luxcalibur builds up energy and lunges forward.
DARM
STAY AWAY YOU MONSTER!
Before impact Luxcalibur stops in his tracks, completely frozen in what appears to be fear. Darm takes this moment to crawl to a nearby manhole and slither into the sewers to safety.
SEACREST
Luxcalbur!
Luxcalibur looks on in fear at his senior friend. He looks around then runs away from the garden down the streets.
InT. UNDERGROUND RAILS
Blaze's fight with Klinklang alongside his Noibat team continues. The three Noibat circle around Klinklang pecking at it while Blaze and his Noibat friend shoot fire and fly overhead. Blaze chirps a bit and the other Noibat start blowing tailwinds behind Klinklang pushing it towards Blaze and the lead Noibat. The duo flies forward shooting flames at the metal giant who is unable to stop itself. It roars as it gets close. Blaze spits out a flamethrower burning Klinklang further and it roars in pain. It releases electricity, knocking out the three weaker Noibats. Their leader looks on in fear.
ExT. SEACREST GARDEN (1 week ago)
Justin and Blaze are training in the garden. Blaze is attacking Justin with kicks and pecks. Justin is able to block all the attacks with little effort.
JUSTIN
Keep it up buddy.
Blaze readies himself to shoot an ember but Justin raises his hand in protest.
JUSTIN
All your fire attacks consume energy and your stamina still isn't anything great. Besides when you reach your final form physical combat will be your M.O. So let's keep that up.
Seacrest walks out from the manor and into the garden. He sees the young fighters and walks over to them.
SEACREST
You boys working hard today.
JUSTIN
Of course. We need to prepare to OHKO Julia and her demolition squad.
SEACREST
Plan of attack?
JUSTIN
Hit em till they stop hitting back.
SEACREST
Truly a tactitionary genius.
JUSTIN
Duh.
SEACREST
I know you think you're good.
JUSTIN
(scoffs)
Uh... Think?
SEACREST
But let's say you do lose. How do you plan to switch it up.
JUSTIN
Do you see Blaze. Do you see the perfection in Pokémon form that is Blaze. Can you comp-
SEACREST
I can't right now. I have to be at the Grand Hall in an hour.
JUSTIN
(confused)
That's down the road...
Seacrest walks away slowly.
SEACREST
I know...

Hello all, for everyone who has been checking out the series sorry about the hiatus but a lot of film projects take up my time which is awesome but I really like this story and of course working on my writing. This story has never left my mind so if I can share it with all you cool people then I'm all for the effort needed. So a small note before starting, this episode isn't too heavy on Justin so if you come just for his HILARIOUS one liners then I'm afraid you'll have to come back next time. No this episode focuses more on his teammate Blaze the Torchic and Luxcalibur the Luxio. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it and if you have a moment leave a comment. Criticism is my favorite dish so serve it up. Anywho here is episode 4. "The Rising Phoenix and the King of the Jungle"
Ext. Opal ward Home
We focus on a small home by a fountain in the Opal Ward. An older man clearly coming home from work walks up to the door, unlocks it and goes inside.
Narrator
We should never overlook nor underestimate the creatures we share our home with. They have their own lives, stories and personalities. An African proverb goes "the ability to speak does not make one intelligent" If we can keep ourselves from limiting this notion to intelligence we can safely say our non-human bretheren have like minds where they seek to live their lives in mental prosperity and happiness.
We peer through the window of the home to see a small boy playing with a similar sized Shinx. The man from earlier is seen taking off his jacket and shoes.
Boy
Hi daddy.
Father
Hey kiddo... What'd you do today?
BOY
Me and Luxcalibur played tag.
FATHER
You were careful right?
BoY
Yeah!
A tired mother walks into the living room to see the rest of the family. She locks eyes with her husband and he knows she means business. He slags his way into the kitchen kissing his son on the head and petting the small cub Pokémon.
Mother
That thing has to go.
FATHER
What happened this time?
MOTHER
I swear to you all it did was try to open the back door. Joey was teaching it and it ripped the handle clean off...
FATHER
So I'll buy a new door knob.
MOTHER
(angry)
Look at the door dear.
The father walks through the kitchen and see everything from the knob down has been torn off. He looks at the doorway in disbelief.
MOTHER
One swipe. I'm afraid to get near it. If that monster put in a small amount of effort, it'd kill me before I hit the ground.
FATHER
I'll train it. You know he loves that Pokémon and around here a guard like that is very appreciated.
MOTHER
(angry)
You have one week.
FATHER
(half smiling)
One week.
MOTHER
ONE. WEEK.
ExT. opal ward bridge
Several Noibat can be seen cowering outside due to the growling and gear crunching sounds coming from within the cavern. Blaze walks past them all, his feathers occaisionally giving off sparks from his previous encounter. He has tears rolling down his face but sadness doesn't move his legs, anger does as his feathers stop emitting electricity and begin to release fire.
NARRATOR
Weak. We all feel some level of weakness upon losing. Some turn this outcome into a new form of strength. For others it is debilitating.
Blaze walks down the dimly lit corridor. A few lamps still active from when this underground railway was used for travel. Growls and gears echo simultaneously and grow louder as the brave chick walks through the perilous chasm. Two gears launch out from the darkness at Blaze but he dodges one and spits fire, melting the other. A growl is heard as a large broken down Klinklang floats from the shadows. This Pokémon has clearly been through countless battles. The metal ring that usually orbits the metal monster is missing by half. Electricity rises from the ground around Klinklang as he growls become roars. Likewise the flames coming from Blaze grow in intensity. Blaze begins charging towards his enemy and jumps in the air to deliver a kick to his giant of an opponent but a light flashes at the point of contact and Klinklang remains unscathed. Klinklang's lightning engulfs the both of them as he tackles Blaze into a wall, breaking slightly into the worn concrete. Blaze falls to the ground and looks upon his monsterous opponent in sullen disbelief. Justin's words echo through the tiny chick's mind.
Justin (V.O.)
I hate losing.
Blaze struggles to rise to his small wobbling legs maintaining eye contact with his enemy all the while. Blaze runs back to the Klinklang and jumps on top of his barely floating ring then fire bursts free from his body scorching Klinklang and leaving black burn marks across the monster's body. The Klinklang roars ferociously as his gears spin almost out of control. Blaze uses his talons to scratch into the ground 5 short lines parallel to each other. He then puffs his chest and wipes out one of the lines.
ExT. opal ward home
It is a relatively nice day with kids playing along the tracks. The small boy, his Shinx and the father are training together. The father is holding up a small ring and encouraging the small cub to jump through it. Upon closer inspection several rings already lie destroyed on the ground.
FATHER
Okay kitty. Without hitting me or the ring or the fountain or the house or the missus... For the love of Arceus jump through the gosh dang ring.
BoY
You can do it.
The boy pets his kitten friend which only proves to excite the small animal and break his already limited focus.
FATHER
Hey buddy, lets not break kitty's concentration or he might break the ring again...and dislocate my shoulder.
BOY
Sorry.
FATHER
Alright. Jump through it.
The small cub jumps through the hoop and the boy begins clapping as a metal clang is heard. The dad sighs as he slowly turns to see a street post has been pulled out of the ground by the Shinx's might.
FATHER
Good job... I always wanted to fix a signpost.
BOY
We can help.
FATHER
No... I think you two deserve a nap.
BOY
Cmon!
The boy waves to the Shinx and they both run inside laughing. As the two run inside the boy's mother comes out. Her hands are bandaged up from bruises.
MOTHER
I'm sorry honey... I know you want to try with it and keep him happy but... It's a dangerous animal. When it gets older and stronger and you know it will. He could get hurt or worse.
FATHER
I know... I'll talk to him tomorrow... Hope he'll forgive me.
InT. underground rails
Blaze's battle with Klinklang continues but his use of Overheat has caused his energy to plummet. Klinklang launches out several gears at Blaze who is able to dodge the first but is barraged but the subsequent attacks, one of the gears hits his ankle and bruises it enough for him to limp. Another gear is shot, this time electrified towards the weakened Blaze but a gust of wind causes it to miss. We see a couple of the Noibats used the limited wind to save their new friend. The leader of the Noibats latches on to Blaze's back and lifts him into the air. The small Pokémon all nod to each other and the second round begins. A small ember escapes Blaze's mouth as he chirps adamantly. The airborn team races towards Klinklang with Blaze at the forefront.
InT. seacrest Garden
It is slightly cloudy out and Luxcalibur is sitting in the middle of the garden next to Seacrest who is tending bushes with Rebecca. Small Pokémon occasionally try to play with Lux but he is trying to sleep and doesn't acknowledge anyone's presence.
Rebecca
Has he been like this all day?
Seacrest
Yeah. He's actually pretty lazy. He'll join me and Nancy on our walks but doesn't seem to like doing much more than sleeping.
REBECCA
Ohh.
SEACREST
I almost feel bad for Justin. He says this cat is a fighter but he sure doesn't like fighting or doing anything involving effort.
REBECCA
I'm sure he'll find another Pokémon that likes fighting.
SEACREST
Yeah, not too worried about it. Besides a guy like Justin attracts fighters. I'm sure another will turn up eventually.
Luxcalibur suddenly jolts up and runs towards Seacrest and Rebecca and pushes them away from the bushes and they fall to the ground a few feet away. Before Luxcalibur can move three molotov cocktails fall and explode at the bushes catching Luxcalibur in the mix.
SEACREST
LUXCALIBUR!
A couple of Magma members climb over the wall into the garden. Some laughing at the wildfire. One more Magma sits on the wall with a mean mug on his face. Smoking a cigarette and a Darmanitan climbs and hangs on the wall next to him chuckling. He wears a red tee shirt and black pants. A tattoo of fire with a #3 inside of it. His hair is gelled back and he has a burn on his left hand.
Darm
Heard there was some kid name Michael who wanted to meet the man around here. Tell him Darm is here to play.
SEACREST
He isn't here. You thugs can just get the hell out of my garden.
DaRM
Sounds whack old timer. Why don't you call the police... Oh wait they went and got themselves trapped in Beryl failing to save half my squad. Makes me so mad I have to vent. Darm Jr... Care to vent in my place?
The Darmanitan next to Darm spits a flamethrower across the garden burning more trees causing all the Pokémon to run inside.
SEACREST
Rebecca, go inside.
REBECCA
What about you?
SEACREST
I wont lose this garden again. Not to these punk kids.
Rebecca goes inside helping the Pokémon to slow to flee.
DARM
Alright, the old man still got a little fire in em. Show em what real fire is.
From the flames Luxcalibur jumps out and on to one of the Magma's backs. He stomps hard enough to slam him into the ground then roars.
DARM
Morning kitty. If you kept the nap going you wouldn't have to get your ass handed to you by Mr. Hot shit himself.
Lux bolts towards Darm with electricity emanating from his every step. Blue sparks cover the ground he stomps on and he leaps towards Darm but Darmanitan flips around and punches Lux through a tree and into the ground. One of the goons laugh but less than a moment later Lux is up and leaps onto the goon's head and uses him as a springboard. He collapses into the ground and Luxcalibur uses Iron tail while spinning towards Darm but is blocked by Darmanitan.
DARM
Trying to beat my boy in a game of power is like trying to take over the streets as an Aqua. Its fucking impossible. Still funny as hell.
The Darmanitan and Luxcalibur trade blows as each of the fire infused punches clash with Luxcalibur's flurry of iron tails. He occasionally shoots out lightning but it is dodged by the agile primeape.
SEACREST
Where the hell is the boy when you need him...
We zoom in close to Luxcalibur's face as he jumps back from Darmanitan, he's opens his fierce jaws wide and readies a lightning attack from his mouth.
InT. OPAL WARD HOME
NARRATOR
How long do we let our past shape us? Is it something to let go or learn from? Does it take strength to become stronger or is it our weaknesses that propel us forward? What is it that truly makes us grow?

.........hot.......damn.... That cut scene was so dope. *want for more intensifies* With my fanboying out of the way, the voice was a lot deeper than I expected too. His body doesn't give me that bone chilling feel the voice does but hey his character might and that's important. I'm all for the still cut scenes especially artful aesthetic ones because they remind me of inFamous and The Witcher, two of my favorite game series. (Number one is tales of, so you're already winning in my book)
