Sorry for not blogging as much recently, we're going to try harder from now on.
So, yesterday, we had what can only be described, really, as a fanboy moment.
Don and Sammy are back at their Uni's for now, but we promised we'd let them know if anything big happened. We'd got an alert, and ran outside to investigate. Just past the boulder that helps keep people away from the base, the ground gave way beneath us. Groaning, we looked up from the large pit we were in. Three shadows loomed over us, cackling. Two were human, and one was short, with a large ears and a curled tail.
'Hahahahahahahahha!'
'What's happening?' Doom yelled, trying to climb back out.
'What a question, twerpish indeed!'
'We'll answer these questions when we feel the need!'
'Bringing the blinding white light of evil into the future!'
'OHMYGODIT'SYOUGUYS!!' Me and Rag cried in unison, huge grins on our faces.
The woman faltered. 'What? Have we met?'
'DO THE ORIGINAL ONE!'
'The origi- Hey, have you been spying on us!?'
'DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!'
Everyone else knew what we meant. Me and Rag may have been the only ones to recognize the most recent motto, but those silhouettes explained everything.
The man was confused. 'But, how could-'
'DOITDOITDOITDOITDOITDOITDOITDOITDOIT!'
The woman sighed, then chuckled. 'Fine, let's give our adoring fans what they want.
They struck a pose.
'Prepare for trouble!'
'And make it double!'
'To protect the world from devastation!'
'To unite all peoples within our nation!'
'To denounce the evils of truth and love!'
'To extend our reach to the stars above!'
'Jessie!'
'James!'
'TEAM ROCKET!' We yelled.
Jessie faltered '-blast off at the speed of light?'
James was oblivious. 'Surrender now or prepare to fight!'
'Meowth!-'
'THAT'S RIGHT!'
'Aay, Wadda you twoips doin? That's my line!'
Jessie lost it. 'Alright twerps, it's time for some answers! How do you know about us?!'
I was still grinning despite her fury.
'Let us out of this hole and we'll show you.'
An old episode of Pokémon was playing on the computer. Team Rocket were staring at it, eyes wide with shock and confusion.
'So...we're...a cartoon?'
'fraid so.'
They gawped for another second, then their faces lit up.
'But...this means-'
Jessie and James hugged each other, leaping into the air.
'We're famous!'
They drew apart, looking at themselves onscreen.
Jessie's eyes gleamed as she watched herself. 'They've captured my likeness perfectly! I'm so gorgeous!'
James agreed. 'And me! I'm ALWAYS the man!'
I pointed at Giovanni. 'You know you're just the players in his master plan, right?'
James wasn't listening. He seemed to be thinking hard. 'That Slowking....he said people were watching us......lots of people.....'
'Yeah, he was talking about us. Our universe has been watching yours for years.'
Jessie frowned. 'Well, that's kinda creepy....'
Meowth rolled his eyes. 'Awlright! When yous two have quite finished, we gots work ta do! Let's find us that Pikachu!'
Rag winced, 'Oooh, about that, Ash isn't here.'
'What?!'
'You're talking about Ash's Pikachu right? They aren't here. Sorry.'
Blank, shocked faces. 'Then.....uh....what do we do?'
'According to the show, you two are about our age, but got bad marks at school and left, and joined Team Rocket. Ever thought of going to Uni? Try and get some qualifications? You know, do something with your life?'
Team rocket considered for a moment, and then fell about laughing. Then they caught sight of the Eevees, who had come to see what all the noise was.
'Huh? Oh, James, look, are those Eevees?'
'I believe they are! And look, a Flareon, Vaporeon and Jolteon!'
'Weeell, it looks like ya got yourselves some rare Pokémons. Why don't we take off ya hands for ya?'
All the mirth in the room evaporated instantly. I stepped forward, glaring. Glaceon was at my side at once, snarling.
'I'm afraid we can't let you do that.'
'Nice of you to drop in, but you've outstayed your welcome.' Maelstrom and Doom frogmarched Jessie outside, and Jonny and Ragnarok did the same with James. I stepped in front of the Eevees, blocking Meowths way, and Sammy grabbed him by the tail, throwing him at the door.
Outside, we gathered round them in a circle.
'Pah! You twerps seriously think you can beat us? Go, Woobat!'
'You too Yamask!'
'Glaceon, Ice Beam!'
'Charmeleon!'
'Bulbasaur!'
'Squirtle!'
'Gloom!'
'Hitmonchan!'
'Onix!'
'Now, Rattata! Flame Wheel!'
They stop screaming long enough to be curious. 'A Rattata with a fire type move? That's rare!'
Boom!
'And such power! We'll be back, for your Rat AND your Eevees. We're Blasting off!'
Ping!
'Huh. they really do make that noise.'
Laughing, we went back inside.
Bye for now!
