Battles 136-140. Not my best battle, definitely some big missed opportunities, probably too preachy, and I still need to kick 131-135 to the archives, but it's on the right day this time and new plot. Galleries from the Big Apple to the City of Angels were being hit. Priceless works of art and creative prowess were disappearing - and in their place? Forgeries. Forgeries without a hint of soul in them. It was a rough case. I needed a clue and a drink, and I knew where I could find one of them. The Hotel Mike-the-Eighth Bar. I trudged in through the door like I had a monkey on my back ... only to see the exact monkey I was looking for, with red fur and a face not even a mother could love. UM RED appeared! LONGRAT appeared! UM RED: So as I was saying, what we do is, first, we steal all the art. UM RED: Then, we make computers make half baked copies and mix-ups of it. UM RED: Ultimately, we redefine the entire concept of creativity out of existence, and keep producing content. Infinite money! LONGRAT: And then ... We'll start selling terrible electric cars with lifespans so short they have a worse impact than gas cars. LONGRAT: Market them to the environmentalists and the techheads. LONGRAT: And get countries to mandate them. LONGRAT: And then make 'em in company towns as a whole family affair, so all the profits go right back to us! LONGRAT: I mean, look at how popular that mine game is. The children yearn for the mines. UM RED: Brilliant! UM RED: And so... We can get all the money! Ride this line to the moon, baby! I whipped out my trusty Chicago typewriter and typed them up a strongly worded letter. SAMXCVT wants to fight! Go! CHICAGO TYPEWRITER! CHICAGO TYPEWRITER used STRONGLY WORDED LETTER! STRONGLY WORDED LETTER: ok first you are both a son of onion STRONGLY WORDED LETTER: second all of those ideas are terrible, have you no shame STRONGLY WORDED LETTER: third this letter is written in lead, die now plz STRONGLY WORDED LETTER was renamed FULL MAGAZINE DUMP! It doesn't affect enemy UM RED! UM RED: Dude, we've built up an immunity to lead thanks to this guy's private jet. The avgas is still leaded. It doesn't affect enemy LONGRAT! LONGRAT: And we don't have any shame! Only greed. Greed is good! UM RED: Line goes up, baby - to the moon! LONGRAT: To Mars! Leave aaaalll the peasants behind-- UM RED: Anyway... Enemy UM RED sent out UM CYAN! Enemy LONGRAT sent out LONGMUSKET! Enemy UM CYAN used MOUTH FOAM! UM CYAN: ...aaraggarglebargle... Enemy UM CYAN fainted! UM RED: Eh. He was just autogenerated anyway. UM RED: Maybe send out the whole crew. Enemy UM RED sent out UM AIGROUP! Enemy LONGMUSKET used BUCK AND BALL! Enemy LONGRAT made a quick BUCK! CHICAGO TYPEWRITER dropped the BALL! CHICAGO TYPEWRITER fainted! The enemy's weak! Get'm CHICAGO PIANO! CHIGAGO PIANO used FOUR PART RAG! CHICAGO PIANO: DUN DUN DUN DUN Enemy UM AIGROUP's AIRGROUP was shot down! What? Enemy UM AIGROUP is devolving! Congratulations! Enemy UM AIGROUP devolved into UM -R! UM -R fainted! Enemy AIRGROUP kept going and crashed! ... into Enemy LONGMUSKET! Enemy LONGMUSKET fainted! Enemy LONGRAT: Wait, that's wrong. Enemy LONGRAT used GOOGLE POKéDEX! GOOGLE POKéDEX: CHICAGO PIANO, the 1.1 INCH ANTI AIR POKéMON. Overweight and obsolete on arrival, this anti-aircraft POKéMON has imposing firepower but a tendency to jam. Enemy LONGRAT: ... Enemy LONGRAT: ... well an immunity to lead isn't going to stop that. Enemy LONGRAT: Yeah, no, let's work on the brain hacking implants somewhere else-- Enemy LONGRAT ran away! Enemy UM RED ran away! If you enjoyed the battle, you can send feedback to the site email or discuss on the community Discord. Ideas not coming easily lately. Have more commentary or parody or something. It feels good to be able to make more money sitting at my desk playing pinball than my office staff will make in a year-- Real shame about that red monkey man and his data money exchange thing. Meee, though, my stock's going to the moon! ... As am I. Or to Mars. Totally gonna die on Mars. NEWSNED appeared! NEWSNED: This is Newscaster Ned, coming to you live from Xtreme Xool LetterX HeadXwarterX with famous trillionaire Long Rat. NEWSNED wants to interview! NEWSNED sent out NEWSNED! NEWSNED used INTERVIEW! NEWSNED: Mr. Rat, what do you have to say about recent allegations you were spotted in the HM08 Bar with wanted fraudster Ugly Monkey Red? It's not very effective... I MEAN.

It's super effective! LONGRAT withdrew LONGRAT! LONGRAT sent out SECURITY! SECURITY used TRAPDOOR!
