If you're open to prompts... Do you think you could write some hardenshipping thing where one of them turns into a pokemon, and they can only turn back with True Love's Kiss™? Like a Princess and the Frog type deal? And maybe they can only talk in Pokéspeak so they have to let the other know what's going on some other way~
^^ Why did you think I made that post of what Pokemon my 3 Pokeships would be? Something like this is in the works and it will be 3 separate parts so if you don’t like one ship it you don’t have to read it then.
So yeah, they will be changed into Pokemon and each will need to do something to have them change back.
((There was a scene during the Master of the House number where Sacha Baron Cohen's character brings a man dressed as St. Nick into the inn and a prostitute is later seen riding him while SBC's character takes francs from him and that's what that post was talking about.))
((OMG, OK, I remember you said that in the No Teams AU, Cyrus likes to play horror games and the like and I got an idea from a let's play video that could probably go with it???? What if Cyrus made Giovanni play one of these games?))
(Here you go!!)
Course language ahead….
“SoI get to sit in the nice chair?”
“YesGio,” Cyrus said as he got his headset on. “My viewers want tosee you play a game.”
“Sowhy this one?”
“I’vebeen getting a lot of requests…but I played this before I starteddoing these videos so I know what the game’s going to do,” the bluehaired man stated and sat down. “Come on, I’m suppose to startsoon.”
“…ifI scream I’m throwing you out on the balcony,” Giovanni sighed andsat down and took the spare headset.
“Yousay that now,” Cyrus said and started the set up. Camera on,computer up, game loading. “There we go…” the game loaded and asmall box popped up in the upper right corner from the camera filmingboth him and Giovanni. Another popped up in the lower left, commentsfrom viewers already popping up. “Hey this is GalacticLeader andas you can see, I’m not in my usual gamin seat. That’s because Gio’sgoing to play for this livestream.”
“Yo…soI should be blaming you guys if this game is the starting force forour break-up?”
Severalcomments of; 'no no this will make things better!' and 'trustus you'll thank us' and a few of ‘F-YES! Boyfriend-o gets tofinally play!’ followed by ‘GL you gonna snark like he does toyou?’
Cyruschuckled at some of the comments. “I might. And before you ask,we’re playing Post Stress, the demo at least. You see I’ve placedthis demo…I think a few times already so I know what’s going tohappen…Gio does not.”
“There’sno weird animatronics in this one is there?”
'You'dwish there were'
‘Arceusspeed Gio!’
“..Idon’t want to play this anymore.”
“Itdidn’t even start, come on,” Cyrus laughed.
Thegame started.
“…gottaadmit the graphics good…and this is just a demo?” Giovanni asked.“So what I just go out of the room?”
“Yepjust head out,” Cyrus said.
'Justtake in the environment.'
‘Happythoughts. Happy thoughts.’
“Dammitnow I’m shaking already and nothing happened.”
Cyrussat by as he just watched, trying his best not to laugh.
“Whoa…whoaokay, didn’t I…this is the same as before…is it one of thosegames?” Giovanni asked.
“Notreally,” the blue haired man said.
“Ah…oookayso that door’s locked now.”
'Nowthe game really starts.'
Ittook a few minutes, Giovanni not sure what to do exactly. “Are yousure this door’s supp—”
Thecreaking sound cut the film maker off, as he felt the hair on theback of his neck stand. Garbled sounds filtering through the headset.
'Don'tworry you can't get in…yet'
‘….doesn’tmean whatever’s in there can’t get out.’
“You’reseriously not helping!” Giovanni shouted as he read those commentsand glared at Cyrus who was snickering. “You’re going to be on thebalcony the rest of this week.”
“Comeon it’s not that bad,” the blue haired man laughed.
Giovannibacktrack some. “Now that doors locked…so I have to walk pass-ohhello…creepy…thing in a trench coat.”
“Gosay hi,” Cyrus snickers.
“Hellno!”
Cyruschuckled as he still watched. “Well you can’t go anywhere else, soyou gotta got that way.”
“Shutup…”
'It'llbe alright Gio!'
‘GLhas a point.’
‘Goon! Sop being a coward.’
Giovannigrumbled as he had the character carefully move around the cornerand down the hall. The lights in the game went black and the figurewas gone…and the cracked door was now fully open.
“….no…nonono.”
“Yougotta Gio,” the liverstreamer laughed.
“Idon’t want to go in there!”
'Youhave to Gio!'
“Youcan do it bro! We’re all right here!’
Giovannicouldn’t believe it…he was shaking. He was shaking from a simplevideo game. No wonder Cyrus was so jumpy when he’d play them. Whyhe’d yelp, curse, and even shriek when things happen.
“Ok…abathroom…is it sad I’ve seen one the looks like this in real life?”
“LavenderTown?” the younger man asked.
“Yeah…”the older man jumped when he heard the door shut in game. “Badbad…right? Tell me this is something that’s suppose to happen.”
'Don'tlook in the sink!'
‘Stayaway from the sink man!’
‘No!Go to the sink!’
‘Guyshe’s gotta go to the sink!’
“Cyrus….help…”
Cyruschuckled. “Do I want to scar you for life….or do I want to stillhave at least a small chance of sleeping in bed tonight….”
'SorryGL he's gotta look. The demo won't let you continue.'
Cyrusread the comment and looked to Giovanni. “I’m sorry.”
“Thisis going to disturb me isn’t it?”
“Noteven going to lie, it is.”
“Dammit!”
Giovannihad the character go over and his eyes widen. “THE HELL IS THA-HOLYSHIT IT’S CRYING!”
Cyruscouldn’t stop his laughter. It was hilarious seeing the other actlike this. Seeing the sudden relief on the other man’s face when thedoor opened again and he rushed out.
'CLOSETHE DOOR!'
“Closethe door!’
‘Gio!You forgot the close the door!’
‘DAMMITCLOSE THE F*N DOOR DUDE!’
“Alrightalright,” Giovanni barked at the tons of messaging poppingup….turning around and yelled in sheer panic and terror as the faceof a rotting women was RIGHT FUCKING THERE.
Cyrusyelped…then soon started laughing.
“HATEYOU! FUCK THIS! I’M DONE! BALCONY FOR LIFE!” Giovanni said as heripped off the headset and tossed them down. He got up and stormedout.
“Gio!Gio come on!” Cyrus snickered as he took his off. “Come back hereyou can stop there.”
MEDI OH MY GOD I JUST HAD THE WORST REALIZATION EVER IF LYSANDRE DIED AT GEOSENGE HIS POKEMON WIULD HAVE DIED TOO P L E A S E E N D M Y S U F F E R I N G
It’s alright Sweety!!! Here I go!!
Warning: mentions of Pokemon death
(this can be considered to be the start of the Perfectworldshipping parts for the Parents with Extended Family AU)
It’sbeen almost three weeks since news of what happened in Geosenge..andit finally sunk into Augustine Sycamore that Lysandre…LansdreFleur-de-lis….Mon Grande…was gone. He locked himself up in hislab. He needed a distraction. He needed something to help him forgethis heartache. Eyes red and puffy, dark bags under them aswell…Augustine just was unable to forget. He sobbed night afternight…if only he knew. If only there was something he could havedone…if only…
Itwas the call from Looker that finally got the young Professor toleave his lab. Not caring how disheveled he appeared. When he heardthose words, Augustine rushed out.
Lysandreis alive…
Augustinefound himself in the stark white hospital room…staring at the largeform under the crisp white sheets. Wires connecting to beeping andflashing monitors….he want to drop to his knees and shout toArceus, Thank you!
“He’slucky he had such a loyal Pokemon…wouldn’t have survived as long ashe did if he was alone,” Looker stated.
“…h-had?”Augustine asked. That word felt like an icey stab to his heart.W-which one? He was too afraid to ask.
“HisGyarados, it shielded him from all the falling debris. Just coiledaround him.”
“….non…a-areyou-Are you saying t-that i-it did not…” the Professor trailedoff.
Lookeronly frowned and nodded slightly.
Augustinefelt an incredible wave a sadness sweep him up again. Remembering howLysandre talked highly of how he raised his Gyarados from a Magikarpfrom when he was young. When the other man finds out…mon dieu hewould be broken.
“A-andwhat about…Lysandre himself self?” Agustine asked, swallowing thelump that formed in his throat.
“He’sin critical conditions, but the doctors are working round the clockto stabilize him…”
“Isee…” the Professor nodded.
“….ProfessorSycamore. When the doctors first began examining him they foundsomething.”
“Quoi?”
“Howlong have you known Lysandre?” Looker asked.
“Ah…a-awhileI suppose. Possibly…late teens at the earliest..why?”
“Canyou recall…any accidents he may have had? Any…cranial injuries?”
Augustineblinked. Unsure as to that the detective was getting at.Accidents…accidents…where there any?
Thenthe Professor felt as if a slab of ice just formed over the pit ofhis stomach….there was one.
“O-oui..a…avery long time ago…” the black haired man felt himself shuddersome. “We were..helping a neighborhood friend…their Rapidashbroke free of it’s Pokeball…”
Lookerraised his hand as a gesture to let Augustine know he did not need tocontinue on. “I see…that would explain what they found.”
“Ah!W-wait what did they find?! Please tell me!”
“Duringthe MRI…they found a mass of scar tissue that was pressing upagainst a section of his prefontal cortex.”
Augustinefelt his eyes widen. The….prefontal cortex? That…that housed thepart of the brain that helped in decision making…socialbehavior…personality expression. I-if that was the case!
“D-didthey—W-was it!?”
“Itwas removed yes…this means that Lysadnre’s actions may finally havean answer to them. However…we won’t know until he wakes up. It’sonly a matter of time,” Looker stated.
((Hey, so... do you mind explaining what exactly...
Thanks for the explantion! It makes much more sense now. :3 How are you enjoying the manga, then?
No problem! I'm really enjoying the manga. It primarily follows the games, but in general is more plot- and character-focused and can get pretty dark at times. General breakdown of the road I've read so far:
Red and Blue chapter: A good dose of nostalgia that swings back and forth between "aww, this is just like the games!" and "HOLY SHIT THIS IS NOT LIKE THE GAMES AT ALL." Three volumes of Red traveling through Kanto, collecting badges, and fighting Team Rocket.
Yellow chapter: Yellow is a wonderful protagonist and you will love them. Four volumes of fighting the Elite Four.
Gold/Silver/Crystal chapter: Gold is not a wonderful protagonist and you will probably not like him. Fortunately he's replaced by Crystal for a bit and she's an absolute delight, and Gold becomes a bit more tolerable near the end. Seven volumes of exploring Johto, chasing legendaries, fighting a mysterious masked man, and building up to one hell of an epic climax that brings together basically everyone from the first fourteen volumes. Also you will probably care about a lot of characters that you didn't know you could care about (part of me is still screaming a little bit about Blaine).
Ruby and Sapphire chapter: Just finished this weekend. Was not terribly pleased to discover that there's a romance subplot, but it doesn't exactly weigh down the main plot, so eh. Four volumes of exploring Hoenn in more-or-less gameplay order, followed by four volumes of Hoenn getting its shit wrecked.
FireRed and LeafGreen chapter: Returning to the original cast, who do get to age and are all 16 by now, three volumes of fighting Deoxys and remnants of Team Rocket's elite on the Sevii Isles. Still need to read volume 25, though.
((Hey, so... do you mind explaining what exactly PokeSpe is? The context I'm getting is that it seems to pertain more to the Pokemon manga versions of the characters, particularly Archie and Maxie.))
Certainly! PokeSpe is the common abbreviation of Pokemon Special, which is the original Japanese name of the manga released outside of Japan as Pokemon Adventures. It's the one I've been reading for the past couple months or so. I just started the FireRed and LeafGreen chapter this week.
