Battle #45: The Awakening December 29th, 2001
Setting: The Aftermath
Player: Articuno [No Record] 

...hold up. Why would we have an Articuno in Flame Version?
You're a little behind on the times.
..I'll say.. Aren't you supposed to be melting right about now?
..sigh.. CUE FLASHBACK!
SCREEN starts to SPIN!
...woaaaahahhh.... STOP BAKA YOU'RE MAKING ME DIZZY!
FLASHBACK appeared!

~

Setting: The End of Battle #44

Everyone except three were on vacation. The last two, along with the whole of the Flame civilisation, was crushed.. by Flashfire himself, quite ironically.
This flashback involves ironing..? But I don't HAVE clothes...
..Okay. So, everything.. was gone. That simple enough?
Yes..
Well, as luck would have it...

VERSION PORTAL appeared!
JESSIE and LJSIMON jumped out!
PORTAL disappeared!
JESSIE: HAHAH! FLAME, PREPARE TO BE TAKEN OVER!
LJSIMON: Um.. Jess?
JESSIE: We're seasoned TR members, so there'll be no beating us in a hurry. Now come! Send out what ya got!
LJSIMON: Jessie...
JESSIE: What?
LJSIMON: There's nothing here.
JESSIE: ...We're here.
LJSIMON: ...
JESSIE: ...

..They didn't say that.
They did now. Hee hee hee...
..........

So.. what are we standing on?
..Nothing?
...so what's underneath us?
Um.. Just an infinite inferno.
..that's bad, isn't it?
Nope.
No?
It's worse.
JESSIE and LJSIMON started to FALL to their DEATH!
There's a narrator! We're saved!
...
...Saying that was weird. If I ever do that again, hit me.
Gladly.
If there's a narrator, shouldn't there at least be... something other then fire?
SCENERY in FLAME is created AS and WHEN it is NEEDED!
WELL, I THINK NOW WOLD BE A BLOODY GOOD TIME FOR SOME, DON'T YOU?!
SMALL AMOUNT of GRASSLAND appeared!
..far far above JESSIE and LJSIMON!
...Oh, that's helpful, that is. Can we get to the scenery, rather then keep falling?
...NO?
SOMEHOW, JESSIE and LJSIMON fell onto the scenery!
..I feel like some physicist is turning in his grave right now..
JESSIE plants a DARK VERSION flag on the LAND!
Mine. :)
...'colon close-bracket'? What?
Must be this version...
FLAG disappears in a BLAZE of FIRE!
...Hey! There's no-one here to do that..!
If you CONQUER this VERSION, NARRATOR will be OUT of a JOB!
So NARRATOR can't let you DO that!
...I'll give you a quarter.
Done.
FLAG reappeared!

So Flame belongs to Dark now?
Not quite. If it was, we wouldn't be watching this flashback, would we? You're the Narrator, you should know these things...
...'know'? What is 'to know'?
...SIGH...

NOISE: Bleep. Bleep.
JESSIE: ...what was that?
NOISE: It was a noise, you dummy. Bleep.
LJSIMON: ..I don't like this version already, and I've only been here a while...

END

JESSIE: ...end?
LJSIMON: That's so very cheap. Too cheap for a battle with you as Narrator, mister. Sort it out.
As much as NARRATOR would LIKE TO, he CAN'T!
JESSIE: WHY NOT?!
Because.. this whole occurrence is due to a plothole, and changing it is a bad idea. Bye now.
NARRATOR went away!
JESSIE: But!
END
LJSIMON: ..that's it?
NOISE: Be quiet, and stay ended.

FLASHBACK finished!
So.. why am I still here again?
Plothole. The author needs someone to show this to.
And... why are you here?
Because I'm an Articuno. I appear to doomed people.
..........
I'm sure you'll work it out. Bye now.
ARTICUNO went away!
...So, what the hell do I do now? Hm..
NARRATOR creates a CHAIR!
NARRATOR goes CORPOREAL!
NARRATOR sits on CHAIR!
At least I'm not trapped as a damn catrat now.. Hmph..
But this is mine now... I should probably start it up again.
NARRATOR creates LIFE!
LIFE explodes due to lack of ANYWHERE to EXIST!
...ok. Uh...
NARRATOR creates a 'NEW VERSION EXISTENCE STARTER PACK'!
NEW VERSION appears!
Would you like to give a nickname to NEW VERSION?
...well... FLAME VERSION, duh.
FLAME VERSION was caught!
Now for a character.
NARRATOR isn't very ORIGINAL, so...
FLASHFLOOD appeared!
You know, I should ask you why you created a VAPOREON to be the first character in a version called Flame Version...
NARRATOR drops HEAVY WEIGHT on FLASHFLOOD!
NARRATOR: THOU SHALT NOT QUESTION ME!
...okay, settle, settle... So what do we do now?
We hold a BATTLE!
Ba--

Setting: Flame Version Rebirth
Player: Flashflood[no record]

..wonderful. Who do I fight, the air?
NO! FLASHFLOOD will fight... eeeerrr... Actually, YOU have a POINT!
Jeez, this narrator's out of practice...
Er.. FLASHFLOOD randomly appeared inside an ARCADE!
..well...
FLASHFLOOD walks up to GAME MACHINE!
GAME MACHINE: Pokémon Battle 2002! We guarantee you'll never look at any other game again after playing this!
Wow, that must be a good game.
GAME MACHINE: Actually, its opening sequence causes blindness.
..that's new. Anyway, I don't think I'll--
FLASHFLOOD has gone BLIND!
Dammit.
FLASHFLOOD cannot see the LARGE KNIFE heading for his VERY BEING!
..uh. You can't do this to the only Flame Version character left in existence?
NARRATOR reminds FLASHFLOOD of line 41887!
..Um, wha--
END


ARTICUNO returns from NOWHERE!
Yes, indeed.. you've doomed yourself again, and I'm back..
NARRATOR doesn't NEED to be REMINDED of THAT, THANK you!
..look, you ended the version again. Now, if you keep doing that, the author will never be able to write battles for this thing. You want to be frozen for another six months?
NARRATOR thinks making being FROZEN sound like a BAD THING is rather ODD behavious for an ARTICUNO!
...blah.
..look, NARRATOR will make a DEAL with YOU!
Go on, make it good.
YOU will BE the MAIN CHARACTER in THIS VERSION!
..and if I don't?
ARTICUNO visualises IMAGES of MARINATED BIRD turning SLOWLY over an INFERNALLY HOT STOVE!
OK, OK.. ..What if I told you you couldn't kill me like that?
If it DIDN'T KILL you, wouldn't that be INFINITELY WORSE?
...I really hate you.
NARRATOR is NOT to be HATED!
Really?
NARRATOR is to be RESPECTED through the AMOUNT of FEAR he can INSTIL upon you!
..How about 'No'.
NARRATOR: Let me put it this way. Respect me or I'll seal you in a soundproof room for eternity with a repeating pop music album.
...I am not worthy.
Much BETTER!
But I still hate you.
Ooh, that's a COLD remark!
..end the battle, please, I like to keep my time with idiots to a minimum.
NARRATOR: Really? How do you live with yourself?
...
