105. FOURTH WALL POST [Action for Saffron City, anywhere in Saffron City! Video's okay too]

<sub>[You know what?]

[Heather's not even sure why she TRIES anymore.]





[So done. So done.]</sub>


Here we go again.


... Yes, Cooj, I still love you.

Just not right now.

Let's hope he doesn't try to unpeel her, this time

...

I meant to do that.

[Starscream, assured Heather... sounding as convincing as this product.]

yep that would be good

[foolishwren]

_{[Surely he completely means to do what happens next, too, which is his body just up and deciding to start tromping right down the hill towards the city. TIME FOR SOME MECHAGODZILLA VS. TOKYO SHIT.]}

[my_own_trope]

[Except Godzilla has his formal wear on today, and unless Gengar has experimented with cross-dressing and really high heels... he's going to get his first lesson in exactly how difficult these little big babies are to walk in. And let's not even get STARTED on the advanced levels of tromping, inclined planes, or hills.

Sorry Gengar, you just haven't learned that move set yet.

But here's a hands-on demonstration about why boulders hidden in the tall grass can be tough on giant robots. Especially those balancing precariously two tiny points of pressure.]

Ow! [Starscream manages to say, the terror of what's currently happening to him overshadowed by the sudden surprise and pain of tripping.] My ankle bearing!

[foolishwren]

<sub>[... Although it would not be entirely out of character for Slightly to have dabbled in such things in complete privacy... it's safe to say that no, he is not experienced in walking around on anything but his own stubby, incorporeal legs.]

[He (and Starscream) promptly crash downwards with mingled exclamations of alarm.]




[Meanwhile, somewhere at the bottom of the hill (fortunately well out of being-crushed range), a young Pokemon trainer and his Herdier pause and stare. The trainer lifts his PokeGear and takes a video, because giant robots falling down hills is exactly what Youtube is for.]</sub>

[How're you doing Heather, still hanging in there? The fall might not have been very pleasant, but on the bright side, at least Starscream-Gengar didn't drop you. Unfortunately though, Starscream-Gengar also didn't drop you.]

[It's unclear under who's power the giant metal body is in when it pushes itself to its feet, but that stops being the main problem at hand because it's about that moment exactly when a figure emerges from the tall grass.]

[Again.]

Oh for the love of--

[♪♫♪♫]

There's more of you? One would think you'd learn from the error of your comrade's ways.

Because no WAY did Starscream win THAT battle 4/4

[my_own_trope]

["SJKDHLS"]

I'm going to assume that means you didn't learn anything.

[Starscream says, casually holding a human in one hand, his other hand on his hips.
Except,
Uhoh...
I don't think Starscream gets to attack first this time.

In fact, I think it's Raikou's turn...]

NOPE

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Indeed it is.]

[And judging by the fact that Heather has started to kick a GREAT DEAL MORE THAN BEFORE, it would seem that she is even FAMILIAR with this challenger!]</sub>

Shitshitshitshitshitshit!

_{[And in case that wasn't bad sign enough... Starscream will begin to feel a very noticeable set of alarm bells going off in HIS head, as his unwanted guest starts to panic.]}

OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SWEET MUTHA OF ARCEUS--

<sub>[And then his body will turn to super-dignifiedly run away-- flat-out dropping Heather in the process.]

[But it's too late.]



[The sky above darkens and the great-grandma of all lightning-bolts comes straight down at the tallest thing in the immediate area. Which happens to be Starscream.]</sub>

Remember when I said "wait for it"

[my_own_trope]

[Starscream blacks out and disappears. Where he (and to some degree, Gengar) once stood, lay 3 which seem to have been dropped in a panic. All in all, just another Saturday night for nature's lightening rod Decepticon.

Raikou is nowhere to be seen either. Funny how that works, isn't it?

A day later in the morning paper, the front page story covers the mysterious case of a gundam crashing on top of a pokecentre. No one was injured and the chanseys somehow figured out a way to feed the giant robot. More accurately, they just kept shoving eggs inside all orifices until the robot woke up and fled everyone was all better.

Heather, you can pick Gengar up from the lost and found.]
