The Meme


You are now on a quest to be the very best trainer in all the land! In your own, special way. I mean, everyone has their own thing they seek in the Pokemon world, right? Some want to gather badges. Other people participate in contests! Still others decide to devote their life to research and becoming a Pokemon Professor.


1. You're in a Pokemon battle! Is it a friendly battle? Is it a heated match between destined rivals? Or are you just mugging some preschoolers for their lunch money?

2. Either 1 went pretty well and you're just chillaxing, or 1 went pretty poorly and you're recuperating and healing up, or maybe you have no idea what I'm talking about when I say 1 because you didn't just fight a Pokemon battle. Regardless of the reasons, you are now at a Pokemon Center.

3. You are traveling on some route or another and enjoying the scenic vistas and the epic scenery of wherever you are. Or maybe you're getting ready to camp out for a while? Well. You're just stopping and smelling the metaphorical roses.

4. You are lost. So this is kind of like 3 except it's less enjoying the ride and more going oh crap what is this this is a cave I wasn't supposed to go into a cave was I? I can't use surf how am I supposed to get through this lake crap.

5. You're participating in a contest! You're getting ready to, you're appealing, you're sabotaging your competition, whatever it takes to get that ribbon.

6. You are somehow involved with a Pokemon Daycare. Maybe your Pokemon is expecting? Maybe you've got this...this egg you gotta haul about until it hatches. Or maybe you don't have enough cash to get your beloved Rattata back so now you're mugging preschoolers for their lunch money. It's a very dark and dire business you're involved with.

[Wow, even Dipper is surprised Gideon chose that move, especially since he doesn't seem to be fairing very well to begin with. Trick Room is still in effect at least, so the two-part move won't be a bother to deal with.]

Thunder Wave.

[...Wait what that's a bit of an odd attack to be dishing out, but the Xatu complies, a burst of static electricity rocketing toward the bird.]

[inquisitives]

[SIGH. Gideon doesn't even look when the electricity hits Fletchinder; instead, he only winces slightly as he hears its impact with his Pokémon. He's so grateful that Fletchinder is not that weak against electric moves.

It's obvious that the Pokémon is fatigued from the many hits it's been taking, but it musters up the rest of its strength to issue blades of wind from the whirlwind at Xatu.]

[razzlemysticist]

[At this point, the Trick Room has finally worn off, so Xatu doesn't have the advantage of being able to get out of the way in time. The bird winces, folding it's wings as the attack strikes it dead on.

Though Dipper still remains unphased, somehow.]


...Roost.

[HOPE YOU LIKE HOW HIS HP IS SUDDENLY FULL AGAIN.]

[inquisitives]

[NO. NO, HE DOES NOT LIKE THAT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Gideon is so done with this battle. He is so done with you, Dipper. So incredibly done with everything. The boy gives a sigh, rolling his eyes.]

A'ight, Peck! ...Again.

[Once more, the bird flies forward, jabbing the Xatu with its beak. At least he's going down trying.]

[razzlemysticist]

[DIPPER IS JUST SMILING SO MUCH RIGHT NOW. He almost laughs as Xatu just lazily watches Fletchinder peck it, doing some damage, but not enough to hurt tremendously.]

Seems that even paralysis can't slow you down, mm?

Psychic, once more.

[Again, the energy is blasted right at the bird with little warning.]

[inquisitives]

[GIDEON WANTS TO PUNCH THAT SMILE OFF HIS FACE.]

If I ain't goin' down without a fight, then my team ain't either!

[Oh, he's going down alright. With a fight and an inspiring speech. Take that, Dipper.

Fletchinder screeches as the burst of energy hits it again, and even it knows that it won't be able to continue on for another round. So, as soon as it lands on the ground, it just stays there, giving out an exasperated moan. ...Well. At least Gideon still had a bit of his dignity left before he was defeated.]

[razzlemysticist]

[Pls to be not going Naegi on him thanks.

Dipper just sighs and calls Xatu back, minimizing the pokeball with a thumb.]

Very well done, Xatu. Not like you had to break a sweat, particularly.

[inquisitives]

[AUUUUUUUGH.]

Yeah, yeah, brag all ya want, but I can guarantee ya that one of these days, I'll beat ya.

[ONE DAY.]

[razzlemysticist]

Oh, I look forward to it, Gideon.

[Just be glad he didn't bring out Alakazam.]

[inquisitives]

[Angry grumbling.]

Yeah, yeah, 'course ya do.

[He huffs, crossing his arms before turning away. Time to rework his team and strategy.]
