~Mudka's Meat Hut - Kitchen~ As Kronk entered the kitchen, the following happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Mudka's Meat Hut - Kitchen Storage Room~ "What's going on?" Kuzco asked Pacha after being dragged inside the kitchen storage room. "There's no time to explain," Pacha whispered back as he locked the storage room door so no one would enter, and rushed to the window in the room to try and open it, "We gotta get out of here!" ----------------------------------------------------------------- ~Abandoned Building~ "Well, look who we have here, Jumpman," Romulus told Jumpman, "Your dear brother. I'm sure the two of you have plenty to catch up on. So, I'll leave you guys alone. And who knows... maybe he can do a better job of convincing you why our side is right." Romulus then headed for the exit, allowing Jumpman's brother to talk with Jumpman and Fujiko. ---------------------------------------------------------------- ~Twinkle Park~ *OOC: Was given permission by @NutheadBros to use the characters Kai and Pyrrha just for this post* Outside the entrance to Twinkle Park, Skye was sitting on a bench, watching others enter the park as she waited for Pyrrha to arrive. "Skye!" a voice called out to Skye. Looking around to see who called out to her, Skye found Pyrrha, along with Kai, approaching her. "How's my favorite hacker doing?" Kai greeted Skye. "Hey Pyrrha, hey Kai," Skye replied, "To be honest, I was expecting a party of one." "Heh, good one, Skye," Pyrrha commented. "Yeah... but in all seriousness, Kai, if you don't mind, I need to discuss something with Pyrrha, privately," Skye replied. "Umm, I... don't think I can do that," Kai said. "Why?" Skye asked, "Is something wrong with Pyrrha?" "Oh nonono, not at all," Kai lied, not wanting to tell Skye about Pyrrha's S-type crystal. "Good. Then I don't see why I can't have a private discussion with Pyrrha," Skye replied. "Bu-" Kai said before being cut off by Pyrrha. "Kai, it's fine," Pyrrha interrupted Kai, "Just a small discussion with Skye alone. Alright?" Sighing, Kai figured maybe she'll step back a bit, but keep a watchful eye on Pyrrha, and replied, "Y-Yeah." As Kai walked over the entrance to pick up a Twinkle Park brochure to read, Pyrrha and Skye both sat at a bench to start talking with one another. "Is it me, or was Kai acting really weird just now?" Skye wondered out loud. "Eh, a lot's been going through her head lately. She'll be fine," Pyrrha responded, "So, what do you wanna talk about?" "Well, how have you been today?" Skye asked, "I know we haven't met much, but still, just wanna know how a fellow Rising Tide member is doing." "Oh, same old, same old," Pyrrha replied, "Played a bit of Castle Crashers earlier today." "Nice. Haven't played that game in a while. That damn painter boss near the end almost made me rage quit," Skye commented as both she and Pyrrha laughed out loud, "Anyway, mind if I ask something more... personal?" "Umm, what do you mean?" Pyrrha asked. "Well... have you noticed something in your body that... isn't supposed to be there?" Skye questioned. "I-I don't think so..." Pyrrha replied, wondering if Skye was referring to the S-type crystal. "Okay, let's step back for a minute here and... talk about me for a change," Skye said, "So, remember those creatures from Toshima last week. You know, the ones called S-types, and may, or may not be Pokemon?" "Y-Yeah..." Pyrrha replied, not sure where this discussion was going. "Well, I'm starting to think they're not Pokemon," Skye said, "And on top of that, I found some interesting footage taken from Greece, and well... you were in it." Pyrrha's heart began to beat faster, knowing exactly where this discussion was heading. "Pyrrha, please... be honest with me," Skye pleaded, "Do you have a diamond-shaped object in your body right now?" --------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tsukino Household~ As everyone began eating their lunch at the table, Ikuko told Serena, "Now Serena, I'm going to need your help setting up Rini's room after lunch. Can't expect our new family member to sleep in a boring guest room." "Do I need to help?" Rini asked. "Oh don't worry about that, dear," Ikuko replied, "You can go out and play, while Serena and I set up your room with some of Serena's old things from when she was your age." "Well, if you say so, Auntie Ikuko," Rini replied. "Heh, I'd really hate to be in your shoes right now, Serena," Sammy whispered to his sister. -------------------------------------------------------------- ~Moon Palace~ "Goldar, you have your orders," Thrax told Goldar, "Spy on those brothers. And don't even think about fighting." "Yes sir!" Goldar replied as he teleported away from the Moon palace, heading down to Earth. Taking out his device from earlier, Thrax said, "I'll be going down as well just as soon as I locate a suitable user of Azarathian technology to eliminate." --------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Cooking Club Meeting~ Once Mario finished with his quiche, Siebold, Chef Ramsay, and the Swedish Chef each tried a sample of Mario's quiche, with the response seeming positive. "Mmm... c'est magnifique!" Siebold said. "Thees is zee best qooeeche-a I ifer hed!" the Swedish Chef added. "I agree," Gordon Ramsay concurred, "Light, fluffy, and ridiculously delicious. Excellent work. Now start on a crêpe of your own choice while we check how the others did with their quiche." -------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tokyo University Stadium~ As Misty and the others all arrived at the Tokyo University Stadium, they were all surprised at how crowded the place was, with the group lucky to have found empty seats that were together. "Finally," Clemont said as he and the others sat down. "Wow, so many people," Connor commented. "Well I'm not surprised," Dick replied, "This is Diantha we're talking about. Academy Award winning actress. Kalos Region Pokemon League Champion. And she's hot. She's got a lot of things going for her." "Okay, okay, point taken," Connor told Dick. "Oh, can't wait, can't wait!" Brock said, excited for Diantha to arrive. "Gee, I wonder why..." Misty replied sarcastically as she sweatdropped. "TogiTogi," Togepi added, laughing as it noticed Misty annoyed by Brock. "So, which Pokemon do you think Diantha's gonna use?" Tracey asked. "Probably her Gardevoir," Sabrina replied. "Why do you say that?" Gary asked Sabrina. "Diantha is known to save her Gardevoir for last whenever defending her reign as Pokemon League Champion. But since this is simply a one-on-one match, she'd surely aim to use her strongest Pokemon to quickly end the match," Sabrina replied. "I see..." Gary said. Meanwhile, Haymitch, who was sitting to Katniss's left, noticed Professor Sycamore to his left, placing his Fennekin between him and Haymitch. Haymitch's heart began to beat faster, hoping to not embarrass himself in front of Fennekin. Turning to her right, Fennekin noticed the nervous Haymitch sitting right next to her. "Fokka," Fennekin said, greeting Haymitch. "P-Pika...chu," Haymitch replied, smiling at her as he sweat nervously. Not sure why Haymitch was acting the way he was, Fennekin shifted her focus back to the stadium. Spoiler: BGM "Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've been waiting for is finally here!" an announcer on the speakers said, "Please give a warm TU welcome to the one, the only... DIANTHA!!!" The crowd then began to applaud as Diantha walked towards the center of the stadium, waving and blowing kisses to the audience... "There she is!" Professor Sycamore said as he applauded with everyone else. "Panyapanya!" Espurr added, cheering for Diantha. "HaunterHaunter!" Haunter cheered. "And now, please give a hand for her challenger... Mr. Hino!" The announcer said, with Grandpa Hino and Chad walking towards the center of the stadium, waving to the audience as they applauded them... "Wow... didn't expect someone like him to be a challenger for Diantha," Katniss said to herself as she applauded. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Shay Cormac's Origins Part 37: Flashback 8 Years Ago (October 7, 2005) / Japanese Military Base on the Outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq~ Spoiler: BGM "Liam! Where the hell are you?!" Cormac yelled after following his former friend, and finding himself in an empty area of the base, with Liam nowhere to be found. Looking around, Shay was ready for whatever surprise Liam had for him. Suddenly, Shay heard Liam's familiar voice behind him, yelling, "Your luck has run out!" Cormac quickly took his sword and blocked an attack by Liam from behind, with both of their swords locked with each other... "A fiery grave awaits you!" Liam added as he pushed back Shay, and the two began swinging their swords at each other, each trying to land a hit against the other. "I found Mario's body, Shay!" Liam yelled as the sword fight continued, "Was it you? TELL ME!!" "I'm sorry," Cormac cried as he blocked an attack from Liam with his sword, still feeling guilty over killing Mario, "I had no choice!" "Yes you did, Shay!" Liam responded, trying to gain the upper hand on his former friend, "You chose to kill Mario!" Angered by Liam's words, Shay started attacking him more rapidly, constantly swinging his sword, with Liam struggling to keep up with Shay's attacks with his blocks. Ultimately, Shay caused Liam to drop his sword, and pinned him to the ground, with Shay pointing his sword to Liam's head. Realizing he lost the fight, Liam began to laugh, and said, "That was... lucky." "How many times do I have to tell you, Liam? I make my own luck," Shay replied. "And how'd you do that, you b*****d?!" Liam asked, "You broke the Japanese army in Iraq. Betrayed everyone you knew. You sided with... our worst enemies. And for what?" "To save Iraq... and the world," Cormac replied. "I hope that world is a good one," Liam commented, "So, are you going to kill me?" Just then, Shay and Liam noticed a fight between Haytham Kenway and General Odin reach the area they were in, with Haytham gaining he upper hand, and pinning Odin to the ground... Looking back at Liam, Shay threw his sword away, and punched Liam hard on his face, knocking him out, saying, "Not today." Getting up, Shay rushed towards Haytham. "Farewell, old friend," Haytham told Odin as he pointed his gun at him, ready to kill the general. "No!" Cormac pleaded, not wanting Haytham to kill Odin. "Why not?" Kenway asked. "Odin is harmless now," Shay replied, "The Japanese have lost the Iraq War. What kind of world are we making if we cannot show mercy? Besides, if we keep him and others as prisoners of war, we can then make demands for the Japanese government if they want them back safe." "Valid points," Haytham replied to Shay as he shifted his focus back to Odin, and shot his right leg, causing Odin to scream in pain, "Never forget what has happened here." "I won't... but the world will," the defeated Odin said, still suffering from the painful shot to his leg. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Nintendo High School: Music Classroom~ "Harold?" Yen Sid wondered out loud, "Who is this Harold, Queen Elsa?" "Wait, your highness... you have someone else in there with you?" Officer Jenny asked Queen Elsa, "I know you said you didn't know where you were. But maybe he might know the answer to that question."
Already confirmed to not be happening. Though, this doesn't rule out the possibility of a flashback here and there.
I've never seen anything Asa was in, but I hear he's a brilliant actor, so I have faith he'll do a good job. And at 18 years old, he's the perfect age to play a high-school aged Peter Parker.
Speaking of YouTube Embeds... is it me, or are the embeds not appearing at all anywhere on KHV?
Couple of details have been announced... Release date is September 15th in the Americas, September 18th everywhere else Digital price is $19.99 A physical release of the PS4, XBO, and WiiU versions is planned as well, priced at $29.99 (includes DLC and extras) PSV & 3DS versions will be released digitally at a later date Source
Spoiler It's Coulson who's assembling the Avengers this time! Indirectly, sure, but who cares! ^This quote right here is why I love this show so much, and I'm so glad to have watched this week's episode right before I get to see Age of Ultron in two days.
The article mentioned that it was planned months in advance, not in response to recent events. But yeah, talk about bad timing...
A X[chi] port would definitely make me happy. If not, then I'd only be interested if it was a game that was important to the plot. So if it was just something like "Kingdom Hearts Solitaire", and meant to be nothing more than a time-waster, then count me out. However... Now this is something I really want to see. And considering they're doing a Theatrhythm Dragon Quest, I wouldn't be surprised if we do get a KH version (which I'd buy instantly).
I watched the riots live as they happened yesterday. There is definitely a sense of frustration happening, and I can understand why the people are angry. They had every right to be upset about what happened. HOWEVER, what I saw yesterday was a terrible example of how to protest. Actually, I'm not gonna even refer to it as a protest. It was vandalism and theft. If you wanna make a point, do so peacefully, not by attacking and looting from the properties of others who had nothing to do with the problem in the first place.
You have no idea how much I want this to be real. The following description in particular caught my attention: As a Muslim, I would be so happy to see some Muslim superhero representation in the MCU, and would definitely make Kamala the one Marvel protagonist I can most identify with.
~Mudka's Meat Hut~ "Is there anything on this menu that is not swimming in gravy?" Yzma wondered out loud after having a look at the menu, not particularly impressed with the food being served. "Hang on. I'll go ask the chef," Kronk replied to Yzma, getting up and walking towards the kitchen, hoping the chef offers special orders. ---------------------------------------------------------------- ~Mudka's Meat Hut - Kitchen~ "Look, all I know is the food looked iffy. All right? And I'm not the only one that thinks that, I'm sure," Kuzco (who was still disguised as a female) complained to the chef, angering him as he continued cooking, "So I'm just checking to make sure that you're gonna take the main course up a notch. It's a simple question. Is there or is there not anything edible on this menu?" Quietly entering the kitchen, Pacha found Kuzco complaining to the chef (who was fuming after hearing Kuzco complain about his cooking)... "Psst, we gotta get outta here," Pacha whispered to Kuzco as he grabbed him and headed for the door, hoping to avoid being detected by Yzma or Kronk. But upon reaching the kitchen door, Pacha noticed Kronk making his way to the kitchen, realizing he and Kuzco were going to have to hide somewhere else. As Pacha ran to the kitchen's storage room while still carrying Kuzco, Kuzco (still wanting to complain to the chef), said, "Hey, I didn't ask him about dessert yet!" --------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tokyo Cathedral~ Walking around the cathedral, the monk, Yang, found someone sitting close to the front of the cathedral, someone who he hasn't seen come to the church for a very long time. It was the blind demon, Matt Murdock, who was accompanied by his Oshawott, Foggy... "Matthew, long time, no see" Yang greeted Matt ash he approached him, taking a seat right next to him. "Yeah. It's been too long since I came here," Murdock replied. "Oshawott," Foggy added, nodding in agreement with Matt. "Indeed," Yang concurred, "So, what brings you here?" "Well, I've sinned," Matt answered. "I see..." Yang said, "How about you start from the beginning." "Well, my dad, he used to come to this church back when I was a kid. He was a fighter. Old school. Boxer. WVBA. Lost more than he won. Had a 24-31 record before he, uh..." Matt said, not being able to say the word 'died' when mentioning his father, "But he could take a punch. Damn, he could take a punch." "Language..." Yang replied, reminding Matt that he was in a church, and that he wasn't supposed to use language inside. "Right, sorry," Murdock apologized to Yang, "Yeah, guys he went up against used to say it was like hitting oak. And nights when he was outmatched, my dad's strategy was to let 'em hit him till they broke their hands. Heh, he never got knocked out, my dad. Knocked down, sure. But he, uh, always got back up. He was always on his feet when he lost. Every now and then, though, uh... Every now and then, he'd get hit and... something inside of him would snap. My grandmother, she was the real Catholic. Fear of God ran deep. You'd have liked her. She used to say, 'Be careful of the Murdock boys. They got the devil in 'em.' Heh, wasn't sure if she was referring to the fact that we were demons, or something else. But eventually, I think I understood what she meant. You'd see it sometimes with my dad... in the ring. His eyes would go dead... and he'd start walking forward real slow... hands at his sides, like he wasn't afraid of anything. And the other guy, he'd see that look, and he'd try to get away from him. Nah. My dad, he'd catch him and... trap him in the corner. Let the devil out. Yeah. Now, I didn't understand it, you know? What he was feeling deep inside, I didn't understand it. Not back then." Spoiler: BGM "But you understand it now?" Yang asked, "Perhaps this would be easier if you tell me what you've done." "I'm not seeking penance for what I've done," Murdock replied, "I'm asking forgiveness... for what I'm about to do." "Osha," Foggy concurred. "That's not how this works," Yang said, "What exactly are you going to do, Matthew?" "I just want to make my city a better place," Matt answered after a few seconds of silence. Getting up from his seat, Matt told Foggy, "Let's go, buddy." "Oshawott," Foggy replied as he climbed up to Murdock's shoulder. Matt then took out his white cane to help him walk, and headed towards the cathedral's exit with Foggy, while Yang was left to wonder what Murdock was seeking forgiveness for. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tsukino Household~ "Well, he seems alright," Kenji commented after Kengo and Chibi Chibi left, "But I'd keep an eye out for him, just in case." Sighing, Ikuko said, "I'm sorry if I overreacted, Serena. But it can be dangerous out there. I heard things about a Rider causing trouble in town, and well... well it doesn't matter anymore. I'm sure you're as hungry as we are. Let's just have lunch together with the newest addition to the family. Rini, have a seat next to Serena." "Sure thing, Auntie Ikuko," Rini replied after patting Luna on the head, realizing that Ikuko was right about Luna looking exactly like Luna-P. Although Rini wasn't happy to be sitting next to Serena, she was still happy to do as Ikuko told her. "About time, I'm starving!" Sammy said as Rini took a seat at the table. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Command Center~ 'Harold...' Hiccup thought to himself after Harry mentioned the mysterious wizard's name. After Harry left with Ron and Mew, Zordon asked Hiccup, "Is something still troubling you, Hiccup?" Zordon asked Hiccup, noticing him still thinking to himself. "Well, it was about that lady that appeared after Harold took care of Ron," Hiccup replied, "Told me about a dragon's flame inside me, and how I should keep it burning." "Probably just meant you should never give up," Alpha told Hiccup. "So... she's on our side?" Hiccup asked. "It would appear so, Hiccup," Zordon replied. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Music Classroom~ "My dear, you can't live your life afraid if you'll hurt others with your powers," Yen Sid replied to Elsa, "Your powers are a gift, a part of who you are. Just as my magical abilities are a part of who I am. If you have full control of them, then you have nothing to be afraid of." "Yen Sid's right, your highness," Officer Jenny added, "You can't let your fear control you." ------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Cooking Club Meeting~ After trying out Mario's ratatouille, Siebold, the Swedish Chef, and Chef Gordon Ramsay tried out the other students' ratatouille, praising some, while criticizing others. Once the trio tried out Max's ratatouille, the reactions were rather mixed. "Hmm, it does have the taste of any other ratatouille, but something doesn't feel right about it..." Siebold commented after taking a bit, with the Swedish Chef nodding in agreement. Spitting out the ratatouille from his mouth into a napkin, Chef Gordon Ramsay noticed that parts of the ratatouille were burnt on the inside. "Well now I know why it tasted like s***. It was f***ing burnt!" Gordon Ramsay complained to Max, "What were you f***ing trying to do with the ratatouille?! Send it to hell?!" "Umm, how about you start on the quiche, Monsieur," Siebold told Max, "Just try not to burn it like you did with the ratatouille." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Amethyst Arcade Dimension~ Ludo and his minions were chasing Star Butterfly throughout the Amethyst Arcade left and right, with no end in sight. Star was able to easily run between the many arcade machines in the area, while Ludo and his minions would just push the arcade machines out of their way. "Ugh, they just won't stop!" Star said to herself as she continued running. "Faster you idiots, FASTER!" Ludo yelled a he was riding a bat, ordering his minions to catch up to the princess from Mewni. Eventually, the chase found its way to another area of the arcade, where a music-related arcade game was hooked up to a 20 foot speaker. "Idea!" Star said to herself as she had a plan to stop Ludo's minions. Arriving at the large speaker, Star Butterfly began climbing up the 20 foot device easily. Once she was at the top, Star noticed Ludo and his minions arrive at the bottom. "Hey! Bet you can't catch me now!" Star yelled to Ludo and his minions at the bottom. "You idiots! Go get her!" Ludo yelled at his minions, who did as Ludo ordered them to, and began climbing up the big speaker. Once the minions were halfway up the speaker, Star jumped to a staircase nearby while kicking the big speaker behind her, causing the device to slightly tip, just enough to cause it to fall. "Uh-oh..." One of the minions who was climbing the speaker said as the speaker crashed to the floor, breaking into many different pieces, and injuring all of Ludo's minions, much to Ludo's dismay. "Oh Ludo, why do you even try?" Star Butterfly asked her arch nemesis after climbing down the staircase and approaching him. "This isn't over, Princess Butterfly! Mark my words... One day, I'll get your family's wand. You'll see... YOU'LL SEE!!!" Ludo angrily replied. Yawning, Star didn't really feel threatened by what Ludo told her, saying, "Yeah yeah, sure... whatever you say, Ludo." Fuming, Ludo turned around, and took out the Game Boy, pointing it into thin air. A light then emitted from the Game Boy, and opened a portal in front of Ludo that would lead to the dimension of Mewni. "Alright you morons, get up!" Ludo yelled at his minions, who emerged from under the broken speaker parts, all groaning due to their injures, and walked to the portal one by one, with Ludo being the last one to enter the portal before it disappeared. "Hmm, I kinda feel bad for him," Star Butterfly said to herself as she went back to playing video games. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Moon Palace~ "Well, I need Goldar to go down and spy on those brothers that the S-type mentioned," Thrax replied to his father, "But not fight them. No... first we must know who they are. Meanwhile, I'll be going down myself to deal with one of those spandex heroes. Hopefully by tonight, we'll have one less nuisance to worry about." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Channel 4 News~ "Back to you, Ron," Brick said as he was finished covering the weather, with the screen switching back to news anchor, Ron Burgundy... "Thanks Brick," Burgundy replied as he went back to reporting the news, "The race for prime minister of Japan kicked off today with the first debate between Cosmos and Harold Saxon, taking place at the auditorium of local high school, Nintendo High. For more on this story, here's a report by our very own, Brian Fantana." The screen then switched to footage recorded earlier in the morning, where field reporter, Brian Fantana, was reporting outside the Nintendo High School Auditorium, with a crowd of security guards and reporters behind him... "Patriotism is in the air here at Nintendo High School, with the first debate between Cosmos and Harold Saxon officially over. As for who won the debate? Well, we'll leave that for the experts," Brian Fantana said in front of the camera while holding a microphone, "As for me, I'm going to try to get a comment from either of the two candidates as they're exiting from the back." The back doors of the auditorium then opened, indicating that Cosmos and Saxon were about to exit. "Perfect timing," Fantana said as he rushed towards the crowd behind him, trying to get a comment from either candidate. "Cosmos, Saxon, got a minute?" Brian yelled while in the crowd, only to be dragged away by two security guards off-screen. "Hey guys, what are yo- OW! OW! Oh my GOD! OWWW!!!" Brian cried offscreen, indicating the security guards beat him up. The screen then switched back to Ron Burgundy in the news room, who said, "Quality reporting, from our own, Brian Fantana. Murder! In a local restaurant today by an unknown gunman. Police are currently trying to track down the gunman. Victim was a 73 year-old man named Galuf. For more on this story, here's another report by Brian Fantana." The screen then switched to Brian Fantana (with a black eye and a bandage over his cheek due to the beating from earlier), who was standing in front of the Jumpman restaurant earlier in the day, shortly after Galuf's murder. "'Shock' is the word that perfectly describes what everyone in the relatively peaceful area here is feeling," Brian said with his microphone, "What appeared to be a very busy day for this restaurant behind me came to an abrupt stop after a friend of the owner was shot by an unknown person. Detectives are currently on the way, while the police forensic team is inside examining the body before taking it to the morgue. Let's have a look inside." As Fantana tried to go inside the restaurant, two police officers grabbed him, and took him somewhere off-screen. "Oh no, not again... OW! OWWW! Oh my God! What is with security these days! OW!! OWWWWW!!!" Brian Fantana cried offscreen, indicating he was getting beat up (again) by the police officers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School Rooftop~ "Truth be told, I've only been a member for a week exactly," Xehanort told Sunset Shimmer on the rooftop of the school building, where the two of them were the only ones around, "After discovering I had a certain power, I was approached by my master, and offered a place in the Crystal Order. I'll admit, I was very hesitant at first. Eventually, I accepted, and I don't regret it one bit." Shaking her head, Sunset Shimmer said, "I don't believe this. Xehanort, how could you? The Crystal Order is a group of evil terrorists!" "Is it the media that refers to us as such?" Xehanort asked. "Yeah, but doesn't make it any less true," Sunset Shimmer replied, "Ever heard of 9/11? The Crystal Order did that!" "Some deaths are necessary for us to reach our goal," Xehanort said, "It is unfortunate... but we don't have much of a choice in our path to save the world." "Save? From what?! Innocent lives?!" Sunset Shimmer asked, not believing that she is having this discussion in the first place. "Sunset... how does society treat demons like yourself?" Xehanort asked. "What does this have to do with what we're talking about?" Sunset Shimmer retorted. "Society has always been known to be prejudiced against certain groups," Xehanort said, "Demons are just one of many of those groups. Demons like yourself try to live normal lives, but there will always be those who associate you with the very small minority of the demon population that actually hurts others. Such bigotry must be put to an end. However, that is not why my organization attacks people. We do it, to get closer to our goal, which is to establish a new world order... a world where no borders divide countries, a world where all are considered equal, a world of peace. I fight... to protect individuals like yourself, Sunset." Unable to respond to Xehanort, Sunset Shimmer remained silent, thinking about what Xehanort just said, and realizing he did have a point about how demons (and other groups) were looked down upon in society. Still, she wasn't sure if the Crystal Order was doing the right thing, despite accepting that Xehanort made some very good points. "How about you come with me tonight... to our headquarters," Xehanort suggested. "W-What?" Sunset Shimmer replied, surprised that Xehanort would take her to the Crystal Order HQ despite the fact she wasn't part of the Crystal Order. "I'll take you there... just one visit. And if you don't like it, then I promise you will never have to go there again," Xehanort said. "Promise?" Shimmer asked, with Xehanort nodding in reply. Sighing, Sunset Shimmer said, "Okay Xehanort, I'll do it." Smiling, Xehanort replied, "Perfect. Meet me back here in an hour." With Sunset Shimmer nodding in reply, Xehanort then headed for the stairs, exiting the rooftop, leaving Sunset Shimmer by herself. 'I hope I don't regret this,' Sunset Shimmer thought to herself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Abandoned Building~ "And right there is the flaw in your thinking," Romulus replied, "You talk about humans as though they're the only species that matter. What about ponies? Demons? Aliens who immigrated to this planet? Or any other species that lives among society? Do they not matter? Do their feelings not matter? That was the big mistake the citizens of Earth did when the S-types first arrived to Earth fifty years ago. We automatically viewed them as a threat, when in reality, they were afraid. The only reason they hurt others was because we automatically hurt them first, simply because we don't know much about them. But when you get to know them, there's more to them than meets the eye. When my master first talked to Astral, Astral showed my master the flaws of the planet we live in. It's kinda embarrassing that we needed someone outside of Earth to point out our flaws. But the S-types are basically like brothers now. I scratch their back, they scratch mine. It's a symbiotic relationship. We just want what's best for the world, for all species living in this planet, nothing more. And besides, any basic history class will show that the inhabitants of Earth are equally as destructive as the S-types... maybe even more." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Shay Cormac's Origins Part 36: Flashback 8 Years Ago (October 7, 2005) / Outside Japanese Military Base on the Outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq~ After waiting for Muqtada al-Sadr and his men to arrive for half an hour, Haytham noticed a flickering light in the distance, which was the signal he was waiting for. "That's the signal," Haytham told Shay and the others, pointing towards the flickering light, "Muqtada's finally here. Now just like last time, his men will start the attack from the other side of the base. Then we surprise them from here." "Right," Romulus, Shay, and Jadeite all replied at the same time. Waiting for the attack to begin, the group heard an explosion taking place from the other side of the base along with sound of guns shooting, indicating that the attack began. "Now Romulus!" Shay ordered Romulus. Taking out a bazooka, Romulus pointed it towards the walls of the base in front of them, and sent a rocket flying straight towards the base's wall, causing a massive explosion, and giving Shay and the others an opening. Spoiler: BGM "ATTACK!" Romulus yelled as he, Shay, Jadeite, and Haytham as well, charged towards the base. "Okay, Romulus. Just like last time, get a helicopter! Jadeite and I will try to help Muqtada's forces!" Shay yelled to the others as they entered the base. "And I'll find the one in charge of this place," Kenway replied as he split off from the group, hoping to find the individual in charge of the base. Romulus also split off, trying to find a helicopter he can take control of. Meanwhile, Shay and Jadeite attacked any Japanese soldier they came across. Shay would shoot at enemy combatants with his rifle, while Jadeite shoot soldiers with lightning strikes and send sharp objects flying towards them. After advancing a bit, Shay and Jadeite found Muqtada al-Sadr's forces in a fierce gunfight with Japanese soldiers. "We have to help them!" Jadeite told Shay, who nodded in reply. Suddenly, they heard a loud explosion from behind, turning around, Shay and Jadeite noticed it was from a helicopter that was shot down. Looking around, they found a helicopter flying above the downed copter, flown by Romulus. "Heh, good job, Romulus," Jadeite said, realizing that Romluus was the one who shot it down. Romulus then flew his helicopter towards the gunfight, and sent a rocket flying towards the Japanese soldiers, killing the majority of them, eliciting cheers from Muqtada al-Sadr's men. "Nice one," Shay commented. However, a rocket was sent towards Romulus's helicopter, hitting it, causing it to fall down. Realizing that he lost the copter, Romulus quickly got out of the pilot seat, and jumped out of the helicopter, landing hard, but safe on the ground, while the helicopter crashed into the walls of the base. Shay and Jadeite quickly rushed to Romulus to make sure he was okay. "You alright?" Shay asked Romulus. "Yeah," Romulus replied, "Not sure who shot me down though." Hearing the sound of another rocket flying towards Muqtada's forces, Romulus, Shay, and Jadeite watched as a rocket hit where their allies where, killing many of them. Looking around to see the source of the rocket, Shay found a familiar face in the distance holding a rocket launcher... "Liam!" Shay cried, recognizing his old friend as the man who shot down Romulus's helicopter and sent a rocket towards Muqtada al-Sadr's forces, "Romulus, Jadeite, you two keep fighting. I've got some business to take care of." As Romulus and Jadeite both nodded, Shay rushed towards Liam O'Brien. Noticing Shay, Liam ran away, hoping to lure Shay to a trap... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tokyo University - Pokemon Battling Field~ "Phew... good match, Clemont," Misty told Clemont as they shook hands after the match was over. "Agreed. You were a worthy opponent," Clemont replied. "You both did great," Brock said as he and everyone sitting in the bleachers clapped. "I agree," a familiar voice added. Turning around, Misty found her Biology professor, Professor Sycamore, approach her while accompanied by his Fennekin and Espurr... "Hello there, Misty," Professor Sycamore greeted Misty. "Nyapah!" Espurr added, waving towards Misty. "Fokka!" Fennekin said, saying hello to Misty as well. "Professor Sycamore... what a surprise," Misty replied, blushing, "Oh Clemont, this is the professor I mentioned who spent some time in France." "Really... Where in France?" Clemont asked Sycamore as the others from the bleachers began walking towards the field. "Kalos region to be specific. Beautiful place," Sycamore replied. "Wow, small world," Clemont commented, "I happen to be from Lumiose City myself." "Heh, small world indeed," Sycamore replied as he shook hands with Clemont, "Nice to meet you, Clemont." "Likewise," Clemont said, happy to meet someone familiar with home. Once the others arrived, Misty said, "Hey guys, I'd like you all to meet Professor Sycamore. He the Biology professor for Gary, Tracey, and myself." The others began to wave their hands and say hello, with Sycamore happily waving back at them. Haunter, Togepi, and Haymitch proceeded towards Fennekin and Espurr in order to say hello. "TogiTogi," Togepi greeted Fennekin and Espurr, remembering them from Misty's Biology classes. "HaunterHaunter!" Haunter added, waving hello to them. "Panyapanya!" Espurr happily replied to both Togepi and Haunter. "Fokka!" Fennekin added as she cuddled Togepi, which Togepi enjoyed. "Pikachu!" Haymitch said as he reached the other Pokemon. However, upon reaching the group of Pokemon, Haymitch's eyes were fixated on Fennekin. It was pretty much love at first sight for Haymitch, whose eyes were filled with hearts as he watched Fennekin play around with the other Pokemon. "Pi...kaaa," Haymitch said as he imagined Fennekin winking at him. "I'm giving some senior high school students a tour of Tokyo University," Misty told Sycamore. "That must be fun," Sycamore replied, "Speaking of which, I've got some good news for you." "Oh?" Misty said, wondering what Sycamore had to say. "Well, you got the internship at the aquarium," Sycamore replied, "Congratulations. You'll be starting this weekend." "I-I am?" Misty said, "Oh thank you so much, Professor!" "No problem at all, Misty," Sycamore replied. "Wow, congrats Misty," Tracey said. "Hope you enjoy it," Sabrina added. "Yeah, you earned it," Gary said. "Thanks, guys," Misty replied. "So anyway, how do you guys like TU so far?" Sycamore asked the Nintendo High School seniors. "Pretty great so far," Connor replied. "Yeah. And with many things like a clinic, aquarium, and even this Pokemon battle field, there's so much a student can do here," Katniss added. "Yeah, that's great and all," Dick Grayson commented, "But what I'm really interested in are the events held here, like that Daft Punk and Powerline concert later tonight." "Hmm, not sure about the concert, but I was actually on my way to another event happening real soon," Sycamore replied to Dick, "That open challenge Diantha has for a Pokemon match at the stadium. She and I go way back." "Wait a sec... THE Diantha herself??" Brock asked. "Yup. Promised her that I'd watch the match," Sycamore replied to Brock, "You all can join me if you want. Admission's free." "Count me in!" Brock instantly said, with Misty giving him a suspicious look, wondering if he said that just so he can flirt with Diantha. "I'd like to check it out as well," Tracey commented. "Sure, why not?" Sabrina added. "Yeah, I'll go too," Gary said, "What about you, Misty?" "Well, only if my high school buddies want to go," Misty replied as she faced the Nintendo High School seniors, "Any objections?" Remembering that Kermit the Frog was looking for a celebrity guest for the show on Friday, Clemont figured he could try to ask Diantha if she'd do it, and said, "I'd like to go. Is it okay with you guys?" Noticing neither Dick nor Katniss objecting to it, Connor replied, "Sure Clemont. We'll go." "Thanks guys," Clemont thanked Connor and the other Nintendo High School seniors. "Then it's a date. Let's go," Professor Sycamore said. Misty picked up Togepi, and Haunter rejoined Sabrina. As both Fennekin and Espurr followed Sycamore, Haymitch continued staring at Fennekin. "Haymitch... you okay?" Katniss asked her Pikchu. Snapping out of it, Pikachu shook his head, and looked up at Katniss. "Pikachu..." Haymitch replied as he scratched his head and sweatdropped, climbing up to Katniss's shoulder. Katniss then followed everyone else as they headed towards the Tokyo University Stadium.

Once Emma and her Espurr reached their floor, Emma began to sing... [Emma] Riff-raff, street rat I don't buy that If only they'd look closer Would they see a poor girl? No, siree They'd find out There's so much more to me Looking at the Tokyo skyline from an open section of a half-completed wall with Mimi, Emma said, "Someday Emma, things are gonna change.

Looking through her contacts, Skye found Pyrrha's contact information, and began typing a text message to send her: Yo, Pyrrha! Skye here. Mind if you meet me at Twinkle Park. I wanna talk to you about something. Once she sent the text message, Skye sighed, hoping that the J.I.A. can help Pyrrha. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School Entrance~ Sitting on the steps of Nintendo High, Sunset Shimmer was reading a book, waiting for Xehanort to come and explain his allegiance to the Crystal Order. "Right on time, Sunset," a familiar voice behind Sunset Shimmer said. Turning around, Shimmer found her boyfriend standing a couple of steps behind her... Spoiler: BGM "Xehanort, you came," Sunset Shimmer said, both happy and anxious by Xehanort's appearance. "I made you a promise, didn't I?" Xehanort replied. Smiling, Sunset nodded in agreement with Xehanort. Noticing Luigi and Rosalina nearby, Xehanort said, "Let us go somewhere less... crowded." Realizing Xehanort needed this to be a private discussion, Sunset replied, "I agree. Any place you had in mind?" "I know of a place," Xehanort said as headed back inside the building, "Follow me." Taking a deep breath, Sunset Shimmer followed Xehanort, wondering whether it was a good idea or not to have a private discussion with a Crystal Order member. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Nintendo High School: Music Classroom~ "Very well," Yen Sid replied to Elsa after she said she didn't know where she was, "I'm sure we'll eventually find you, but... I feel that there's something else troubling you, your highness." Looking up at the vision of Queen Elsa, Officer Jenny asked, "Elsa, why did you run away that day? Everyone's worried about you. Prime Minister Harriet Jones. Harold Saxon. Pretty much the entire Japanese parliament. And your sister. Especially your sister. They're all worried sick, hoping you'd return safely." ------------------------------------------------------------------ Spoiler ~Mudka's Meat Hut~ As Pacha continued eating his lunch, Yzma and Kronk entered the restaurant, taking a seat behind Pacha's table... "We've been going around in circles for who knows how long," Yzma complained, "That is the last time we take directions from Pokemon. I should have done away with Kuzco myself when I had the chance." Upon hearing what Yzma just said about Kuzco, Pacha choked on his food, coughing hard as he quickly drank water, and began to sweat nervously, realizing Yzma wanted to kill Kuzco, and wondering if she had anything to do with the fact that he was a llama. "Oh, you really gotta stop beating yourself up about that." Kronk replied to Yzma. Ignoring what Kronk just said, Yzma angrily bent a fork with her thumb and threw it away. "Uh-oh. I'll get you another one there, Yzma," Kronk told Yzma, wanting to get her another fork. Turning around to face Pacha, Kronk asked, "You using that fork, pal?" Pacha quickly handed his fork to Kronk, not wanting him to see his face. "Hey, don't I know you?" Kronk asked Pacha, who kept trying to not look at Kronk face-to-face. "I don't think so," Pacha replied. "Wrestled you in high school?" Kronk asked. "Don't remember that," Pacha replied. "No? Metal shop?" Kronk asked once more. "Uh, no..." Pacha responded. "Oh, I got it. Miss Narca's interpretive dance... two semesters," Kronk said, "I was usually in the back because of my weak ankles. Come on, pal. You gotta help me out here." "Uh, no, look, I-I don't think we've ever met, but, look, I gotta go," Pacha nervously replied as he got up and headed towards the kitchen, wanting to find Kuzco and get out before Yzma finds out the llama is in the building. "Don't worry. I'll think of it," Kronk told Pacha as he left. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Moon Palace~ "Huh, what are you doing here?" Goldar asked Astral-S, surprised by its appearance out of nowhere. "Well, this certainly is a surprise," Thrax said as he noticed Astral-S, "I must say, it's always a pleasure to meet an S-type like yourself. I've heard so many stories of your kind, how you all fought for Queen Beryl's empire under Thanos, and conquered many different planets. My personal favorite story is how your kind helped Thanos wipe out Zordon's planet, Azarath. Oh, how I wished I could've witnessed that event myself, enjoying the sight of the Harbinger watching as his own people were slaughtered. But anyway, I agree. Perhaps for now, it is best to hold back for a while, and to take care of those spandex freaks one by one." Taking out a small device, Thrax continued, "This is a device I found while exploring the ruins of Azarath. It can locate any user of Azarathian technology on Earth. In other words, it can locate any of those spandex-wearing nuisances, or at least, the device that allows them to transform. I'm thinking of going down to Earth myself, and taking care of a single one of those freaks. But unlike what happened with Goldar when he tried to get rid of the Yellow Power Ranger, I'll use this device to make sure no other Azarathian device is within a certain proximity. That way, I know I won't be interrupted." ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Channel 4 News~ "And now, here's Champ Kind with the latest in sports," news anchor Ron Burgundy said after presenting the audience with a few news stories happening around Tokyo.

"Oh, there you are Luna," Ikuko told the family cat, "I don't think you've met Rini yet. She's going to be the newest member of this family. Kenji and I are adopting her. Poor girl doesn't even have parents to take care of her. And look, her flying toy looks just like you! What are the odds?" Meanwhile, Rini was annoyed that Serena didn't even reply to her greeting. 'Wow, Sammy was right, she is a total airhead,' Rini thought to herself, 'Well, three out of four's not bad, I guess.' ----------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Command Center~ "Excellent," Zordon commented after Ron agreed to be a Rider, "Welcome to the team, Ronald Weasley. From now on, this will be your home, as it is for all your comrades that fight for good." "Congrats, Ron!" Hiccup congratulated Ron, "But... I'm still confused about what happened earlier.

Alpha 5 asked Harry, inquiring about the wizard who helped save the day. ---------------------------------------------------------------- ~Abandoned Building~ "I see where you're coming from, Jumpman, I really do," Romulus replied, "You don't want to live in a world that is boring... one where someone like you can't help out... where you can't be a hero. But is it really worth it? For the lives of so many who have suffered. The world is a big place, Jumpman. More than 7 billion individuals live on Earth. You can't be a hero for all of them. Would you rather have more death and suffering continue while you help out a small percentage of them? Or would you rather have everyone living in a safe and secure society, where you don't have to worry about anyone in the entire globe? If you want to be a hero, Jumpman, mustn't you put the concerns of others as your top priority, and always go for the choice that is best for all?" ----------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Shay Cormac's Origins Part 35: Flashback 8 Years Ago (October 7, 2005) / Outside Japanese Military Base on the Outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq~ It has been about a minute since sunset, and the mosques in the area were echoing the call to prayer (known as an adhan), indicating to those fasting for Ramadan that they could now break their fast, as well as pray. Expecting Muqtada al-Sadr and his men to arrive in a few minutes after they had a chance to eat and drink something (as well as pray), Shay, Romulus, Jadeite, and Haytham had been hiding somewhere outside the last remaining Japanese military base in Iraq, waiting for Muqtada. "So, that's the same base you were stationed in when you first came to Iraq?" Romulus asked Shay, "Must bring back memories, doesn't it?" "I guess you can say that," Shay replied as he and the others noticed continuous movement of Japanese helicopters to and from the base, "That's new... what's with all this activity?" "They realize that they're losing," Jadeite answered Shay, "Military's been trying to send away important documents and objects away from the base in case it falls into enemy hands." "Hmph, let them do whatever precautions they wish to do. None of that will change the outcome of tonight," Haytham commented, "I suppose you're ready, Cormac?" "Always am, Master Kenway," Shay replied, determined to finally win the Iraq War for the Crystal Order tonight. ---------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Amethyst Arcade Dimension~ As Star Butterfly walked through the Amethyst Arcade, humming while she looked for another video game to try out, she heard a familiar voice behind her. "Star Butterfly! We meet again..." the voice said. Turning around, the princess found her family's arch nemesis, Ludo, and his henchmen, looking at her with threatening looks.... "Ludo?! How did you get here?!" Star Butterfly asked, surprised by Ludo's appearance. "Well, Palkia didn't leave the path between here and Mewni open if that's what you were thinking," Ludo replied. "But, I eventually found a way to hop between dimensions just like you do. Take a look at my new Dimension Key!" Ludo continued as he took out the Game Boy. Gasping, Star was shocked to see the Amethyst Arcade's Dimension Key in the hands of her arch nemesis. "THE GAME BOY!!" Star Butterfly cried, "So it was you! You're the one who stole it!" "Oh I wouldn't say 'steal'. 'Steal' is such a strong word. I prefer to say... 'borrow'," Ludo replied. "Borrow, huh? And when were you planning to return the Game Boy, Ludo?" Star sternly asked Ludo. "Oh, that's easy. Right after you convince your family to give up the Royal Magic Wand to me," Ludo answered. "Oh please, we'll never give up the wand to someone like you, Ludo," Star Butterfly scoffed at Ludo. "Eh, at least it was worth a try," Ludo said as he shrugged. Facing his henchmen, Ludo yelled, "Get her!" Ludo's minions did as Ludo instructed, running towards Star Butterfly, who in turn started running away from them, leading to a chase in the Amethyst Arcade... ---------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Cooking Club Meeting~ "Oh don't worry about your parents, Monsieur, they're probably just busy grocery shopping," Siebold told Mario after being told that Mario's parents went missing, patting him on his back. Once Mario finished with his ratatouille, Siebold, Chef Ramsay, and the Swedish Chef each tried a sample of Mario's ratatouille, with all three seeming to enjoy it. "Mmm... très bien, Monsieur," Siebold said. "Yeeh. Tvu thoombs up!" the Swedish Chef added. "I agree," Gordon Ramsay concurred, "Tasty, fresh, and just really damn good. Nice work. Now start on the quiche while we check how the others did with their ratatouille." --------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tokyo University - Pokemon Battling Field~ As Misty, Clemont, and Brock walked over to the field, Misty asked Clemont, "So you're a former gym leader too, huh? Where exactly?" "Lumiose City, in the Kalos region of France," Clemont answered. "Wow, Lumiose City! I've always wanted to go there," Misty said, "I have a professor who spent some time in France. He said it's a great place to live." "It sure is, Misty," Clemont replied as he smiled, feeling a bit homesick as he started thinking about his hometown, Lumiose City. Once Misty and Clemont took their positions, Brock stood between them, saying, "Okay guys, this is gonna be a one-on-one Pokemon match. Play nice, and may the best trainer win." Both Misty and Clemont nodded in reply, ready to start the match. "Alright... begin!" Brock announced, starting the match... Spoiler: BGM ~BATTLE OF THE FORMER GYM LEADERS~ Taking out a Pokeball, Misty threw it into the air, yelling, "Staryu, I choose you!" Out from the Pokeball came Misty's Staryu, ready to battle... "HYAHH!!" Staryu cried as it landed on the battling field. Taking out a Pokeball of his, Clemont threw it into the air, yelling, "Bunnelby, come out!" Out of the Pokeball came Clemont's Bunnelby... "Bunnelby!" Bunnelby cried as it landed on the field. "Tell me Clemont, what types of Pokemon were your specialty?" Misty asked. "Electric," Clemont replied, "You're probably thinking why I didn't use an electric-type to easily beat your Staryu. Thing is, after I retired as a gym leader, I wanted to branch out to other types of Pokemon. Of course, the electric-types have a special place in my heart, but the other types are also awesome on their own. And besides, I do like a challenge." "Hmm, I like your thinking," Misty said, "Alright Staryu, attack with your Swift attack!" "HYAH!" Staryu replied, sending star-shaped rays towards Bunnelby. "Bunnelby, Dig!" Clemont ordered Bunnelby. "Bunnelby!" Bunnelby replied as it dug underground, avoiding Staryu's Swift attack, surprising both Misty and Staryu. "Wow, nice strategy," Misty commented, "Okay Staryu, watch out for any surprise moves." Staryu nodded as it looked around to make sure Bunnelby doesn't surprise it from underneath. "That Clemont sure is good," Tracey commented as he began deawing a sketch of the battle. "TogiTogi," Togepi added. "Yes, but so is Misty," Sabrina replied, "She won't let a surprise attack take her down so easily." "Haunter..." Haunter added, continuing to watch the match. "Alright Bunnelby, use Double Team!" Clemont ordered Bunnelby. Noticing something coming out of the ground, Staryu got ready to take down its opponent. But out from underneath the ground came what appeared to be dozens and dozens of Bunnelbys as a result of the Double Team method that creates illusionary copies of the Pokemon. "Wow! Now that's clever," Gary said. As the many different Bunnelbys appeared and confused Staryu, Misty said, "Not bad, not bad at all Clemont. But all the fakes and the real Bunnelby are still no match for Staryu. Use your Rapid Spin attack Staryu!" "HYAHH!" Staryu replied, rapidly spinning, and attacking the fake Bunnelbys, making them vanish. Eventually, Staryu hit the real Bunnelby, sending it flying back. But Bunnelby managed balance itself and land safely back on the field. "Bunnelby, you okay?" Clemont asked. Bunnelby nodded in reply, indicating it can still battle. "That's good... alright, attack with your Double Slap attack!" Clemont said. "Bunnel...BY!" Bunnelby cried as it rushed towards Staryu, and began slapping it with its ears. "I gotta say, I was really surprised by Bunnelby's Double Team move, creating all those fakes," Dick commented. "Yeah, but guess Misty and her Staryu were too smart for that," Connor replied. "True, but Clemont and his Bunnelby aren't too shabby either," Katniss commented. "Pika..." Haymitch replied as he nodded, agreeing with Katniss. After taking the brunt of Bunnelby's Double Slap attack, Staryu backed away, but was not ready to go down yet. "Don't worry Staryu, we got this!" Misty reassured Staryu, "Use your Water Gun attack!" "HYAH!" Staryu replied, shooting water towards Bunnelby. "Dodge it, Bunnelby!" Clemont ordered Bunnelby, who did as Clemont instructed it to, jumping right and left to avoid getting hit by Staryu's Water gun attack. "Good job, Bunnelby! Now keep dodging and try to rush towards Staryu. Then finish it with your Double Slap attack!" Clemont ordered Bunnelby once more. "BUNNELBY!" Bunnelby replied as it continued dodging Staryu's Water Gun attack while running towards its opponent. Meanwhile, close to the Pokemon battling field... Professor Sycamore was taking a stroll through the campus with his Fennekin and Espurr, with the three of them enjoying the fresh air. Upon noticing a Pokemon battle nearby, Sycamore saw that Misty was taking part in the battle. Having sent her an e-mail earlier in the day regarding an internship she was interested in, Sycamore figured he'd just give her the good news in person. "Hey girls, look over there. It's Misty," Sycamore told Fennekin and Espurr, "How 'bout we give her the good news ourselves?" "Panyapanya!" Espurr happily replied, agreeing with Sycamore. "Fokka!" Fennekin added, nodding her head in agreement. "I guess that's a unanimous 'yes'. Alright, let's go surprise her," Sycamore said as he, Fennekin, and Espurr walked towards the Pokemon battling field.
Danny Elfman should seriously compose for Avengers Infinity War (or bring back Alan Silvestri, both are good).
