"It's like there was an orgy in his mouth, and everyone was Grimer!"

Hahaha, this is one of the funniest things I've ever read. Fuck the power of friendship, that's the single most over-used cliche in every single anime fight yet. It makes me so happy to know that someone else is as irritated by it as I am. And... is it bad that I got a little hard when reading this?

Sirnight777---Glad you enjoyed it.

Incidentally, Ash DOES eventually forget the lesson, and others...which is a why a sequel, tentatively titled "We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat", is scheduled for...eventually.

HINT: Wailord will make a SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCE. HEH.

Wow. Finally that little prick got what he deserved, and it was so much funnier than it should be. By the end I was in tears from laughing so hard. I don't think you could've added much more to it(except maybe having James and Geodude join in in some way)

And the "But hey, at least now he learned that ground types were immune to electric attacks." bit...(applaudes). That's the only thing that fits this story.

ThatGuy---My view on the other anime characters? Hm.

THEY ALL FUCKING SUCK

Even the so-called "greats" are so incompetent that a second-grade Pokemon player could beat them.

That's why there's a Pokemon Academy in Sinners...so any prospective trainer has to go through a mandatory, minimum-four-year set of classes before getting to have their own Pokemon. What the fuck must they have in anime-world? A one-hour class where they just talk about THUNDERSHOCK AND LIEK, HOW AWESOME IT IS? BAH.

I agree with you on that, Slash. I mean, how else would Pikachu be so friggin' powerful? Or able to learn Volt Tackle out of nowhere? Your light ball theory proves that. I think...>_>

Still, I'd like to see your views on the other anime characters. Dawn...just...no. The people for the anime are getting so desperate, its not funny. Dawn has no clue what the frig she's doing. Has anyone seen Dawn's first practice battle? She tried to release Piplup...but the pokeball was still minimized! She should've just stopped right there.

But any chance that more Ash-getting-pwned "works" in the near future? lol

Electricity doesn't work on Ground types...except when it does. "LOL the sprinklers went off!" Weird how Rain Dance doesn't remove Ground immunity (and why don't Fire/Ground/other types take damage from it? I've wondered about that before, and Graveler/Growlithe in your real story accentuated that point in the last big battle.)

Anyway, I'm reminded of the time I went to see Pokemon: The First Movie in the theater (I was into the TCG and wanted the cards), and in the beginning, Pikachu knocks out three pokemon at once with an electric attack. When I realized what I'd just witnessed, I threw up on the people in front of me.

After several years of intense therapy, I've cobbled together enough cognitive dissonance and plausible deniability on the matter to allow myself to go on living; I can even say what I just said without damaging it! (It was very good therapy.) My current justification (that doesn't rely 100% on plot weapons/armor) is that Flint's special training before the Pewter Gym battle gave Pikachu's electricity some sort of gravity boost (who would know better than he how to beat those types of Pokemon?). This does raise other questions, such as why a Ground-type trainer would give away such a secret, and why everyone's not doing it. For that, a possible explanation is that it has to do with the location used. Some sort of magic or special particles are in the air around that building, and only locations like that confer the ability.

An anime about Red would have been much better, even if he never talked and all the seasons after the first featured him waiting in a cave for someone to come challenge him.

I forgot to mention that one of the three Pokemon Pikachu knocked out with one electric attack was a Golem, and that "Strange Training That's Super Effective But No One Else Ever Thought Of Or Uses It" is a common thing in anime.

Anonymous (x2)---I wouldn't be so pissed at the anime if they were at least consistent with their mistakes. I mean, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, pfft...JUST FUCKING PICK ONE AND STICK TO IT

I think Ash's Pikachu just has a Light Ball inside it. His power has nothing to do with love or friendship or Ash's willful ignorance of basic type alignments, but due to a random genetic mutation.

Incidentally, in Sinners continuity, Ash was tried and convicted of numerous counts of Pokemon Abuse, losing his trainer certification and career (as well as spending the rest of his life in prison). HA.

I never understood why they kept Ash after the R/B/Y period. I mean, us Poke-gamers forgot about that bum when G/S/C came out, why couldn't they, too? They need to do one of two things...actually have SOME FUCKING CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT (Ash has been the same idiot since the first episode), or completely change the cast and replace the protagonist with a new trainer (maybe one a little more hardcore than chip-off-the-failure-block Dawn).

BLEH

LMAO

Okay...---Well well, seems that Ash is not going to survive his next adventure! Ho ho ho.

hiding from the government---Indeed.
