The apartment has a few doors to who-knows-where, and a small kitchenette. A coffee table sits in front of the two couches, and a desk, home to a well-equipped PC sits off to one side.] [Dan & Janice enter in silence. Dan strolls over to the couch and sits.] Janice: Okay, what's up? Dan: Huh? What? Janice: You've been thinking about something. What is it. Dan: Oh, I just heard someone mention an interesting "what if?" and I've been pondering the results. Janice: Do tell! [She sits on the couch next to him] Dan: Well, I was thinking of what would have happened if Nav had beaten Oscar in the semifinals of Otakumania and somehow scammed a victory off Kintobor. Janice: Besides moonies everywhere being up in arms? Dan: Yeah. I mean, what would have happened? Janice: Hmm... Well, being the title holder, Nav probably wouldn't have entered the Moon Kingdom belt. Kintobor would have been in it instead. Dan: That's what I figured. And given the same results, he'd face Oscar in the semifinals, like he did in the real Otakumania finals. Janice: Do you reckon the horde would have run in then, or wait till the finals? Dan: Probably wait for the finals. Thing is, Kintobor would have been fighting Soulstone *and* Star Mech at King of the Net. Janice: And I personally cant's see Team Foxfire keeping out of the finals match. Dan: What, running in to help Soulstone? Janice: Yeah. So Soulstone's got the Moonie belt, Kintobor got scrubbed and Wolf just hardcored the AAVM belt away from Nav. [They sit in silent thought for a second.] Dan: You know, although Nav would have the championship belt for a while, I think I prefer it that way. I mean, Wolf deserves it a lot more than Star Mech. Janice: Yeah, well, it ain't. So tough luck. Voice: Very interesting. Dan: You like it? Voice: Yeah. Neat work. Dan: Except that Rebecca wuld have been insufferable. Janice: So are we getting this over with, or what? Voice: Just a minute, we're waiting for someone else. Dan: Oh? [The door opens and an attractive young woman enters. She appears about sixteen although she is rather tall - almost six feet. She has long silvery- blond hair and almond-shaped blue eyes. Her skin is pale, and she has a slender build. The most notable feature are her two delicate, pointed ears. She wears a loose white top and leggings, a pair of leather boots and a chain around her neck that holds a large, round, pale blue diamond. Attatched to her belt is a long yet thin scabbard, holding a sword. The hilt protruding from the scabbard is apparently made of crystal, the same colour as the gem around her neck. Her name is Elana.] Elana: Excuse me, is this the right place for the finfiction review group? Voice: Yes it is. Janice: [Quietly] Dan, you're drooling. Dan: [Quietly] Sorry. [Elana walks over towards the couch.] Elana: Pleased to meet you. My name is Elana. [She bows deeply to Dan and Janice.] Dan: Oh, um, hi! [He leaps to his feet] I'm Dan. [He shakes Elana's hand.] Janice: [Stands] I'm Janice. Don't worry about him. Dan: Whaddya mean by that? Janice: Never mind. Elana: Hmm. Fine, whatever. So what precicesly are we doing here? Dan: Oh, the voice sends us fanfics to rip apart. Voice: Not quite. You're meant to watch them and provide reviews at the end. Elena: Seems fair enough. Dan: So what is it? Voice: It's a Pokemon/Tenchi crossover- Elana: A what? Dan: Believe it or not people really write this stuff. Elana: I'd believe it. Janice: Does it have Gobots again? Voice: No. Janice: That's a relief. [They sit - Dan & Janice on the forwards facing couch, Elana on the sideways couch. Elana and Janice are closest on the corners. Elana unhooks her scabbard and lays it down on the coffee table.] Dan: Okay, a few ground rules. One: not one word about Shakespearian cats. Two: No riffing Team Rocket's entrance, just the typing. Janice: Am I still allowed to be mean about Jessie's hairstyle? Dan: Yep. [The TV screen lights up.] > A normal fic. Janice: Not on your life. > No original characters. Dan: Unoriginal ones are another matter. > This is a crossover of Pok`emon and Tenchi Muyo! Elana: I personally would love to know how people think of these things. > Possibly the first of it's kind, but probably not the last. Janice: We're all hoping otherwise. Dan: Yeah. I can see hordes of other people out there writing Pokemon/Tenchi crossovers, can't you? [Eerie silence] Elana: That wasn't funny. > ...Ryo-ohkimon? > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > It was a lazy day in the Masaki residence. Ryoko lazed about on the > couch. Sasami was busy doing dishes, and Aeka was helping her. Tenchi was busy > in the fields. Ryo-ohki, on the other hand was sitting in a tree outside in > front of the house, staring down on the world. She was preparing to take a > nap. Leaves blew around symbolizing the coming of autumn. All: [Singing] Put your little hand in mine... Dan: Wow. We've just wandered into Generic Tenchi fanfic (TM). Any second now, Washu's gonna show up and lecture us on how it's meant to be written. > Elsewhere in Tokyo... Elana: Proving how pointless the last scene was. > Jessie looked up at the skyscrapers, and James looked in the different > shop windows. Yes, that's right, it was Team Rocket. Janice: Who were pretty lost, considering how different the Pokemon and Tenchi worlds are. Dan: It's a crossover. It doesn't need sense. Elana: It would be nice, though. > They had heard that a > really rare Pokemon was living here in Japan, ever rarer than Pikachu. Dan: That critter's pretty common, actually. It's just that specific one they're after. > They > had decided to lay off of catching Pikachu for a while, and attempt to > capture a new Pokemon named... Ryo-ohki. Elana: And there we have the rare and elusive plot. A poor creature, almost extinct in modern fanfics. > "Miyyaaaaa," Ryo-ohki pawed at Sasami, begging for some carrots. Elana: [Blinks] Who's suddenly in Tokyo? Dan: No, there was just a surprise scene change. Elana: I hadn't noticed. Dabn: Get used to them. > "No, Ryo-ohki. Stop begging," Sasami protested, Janice: [Sasami as Cartman] No, Ryo-ohki, that's a bad Ryo-ohki! > looking at her. "I will play with you later on." Janice: I'm sure glad we don't have any portty-mouths in the room right now. [Dan clutches his head, and Elana winces in pain.] Dan: Thanks a lot for that mental image, Janice. Janice: Oops. > She smiled sweetly to the cabbit. Elana: Aww... Dan: Huh? Elana: Ryo-ohki. It's so cute. Janice: Oh, boy. This is gonna be a long stretch. > She mewed in slight sad protest and scurried off. Tenchi > arrived a few minutes later. Janice: [Fred Flitstone] Honey, I'm home! > "I'm home!" Janice: [Shrugs] Close enough. > he proclaimed as he took off his shoes before coming into the house. Elana: Ah, yes, the hard working male breadwinner returns home to a meal already prepared by his female companion. Makes you sick. Dan: What's with you? Elana: It's just that Tenchi Muyo! is so sexist, it is a joke. At least El Hazard is better on that score. Dan: Yeah, what with the portrayal Fatora and Allielle. Elana: Uh... That wasn't what I meant. > Sasami peeked her head out of the kitchen. Elana: [Sasami] Coming! Your humble slave has your meal ready. Dan: Lay off, already, you're making me nervous. Janice: Well, when I get married, I would insist that he cooks. Elana: Good on you! Janice: Yeah, I can't be bothered learning how. Elana: Uh... That wasn't what I meant either. > "Oh, hello Tenchi," Sasami smiled at him. > "Hi Sasami," Tenchi smiled back politely. Dan: Meanwhile, in the prozac zone... > "Sasami? Do you know where Ryoko is?" he asked curiously. Dan: Where's Ryoko? Don't ask Alex Misamoto. > "Uh, well, no. Why?" she asked. Janice: [Tenchi] Oh, nothing. I just have this horrible feeling of dread and foreboding. > "Well no reason really, it's just that she is usually here to greet > me when I get home," Tenchi said, looking about. Janice: Personally, I thought he'd be glad she wasn't pestering him. Dan: I dunno, I wouldn't mind it that much... Janice: [Glares at Dan] > Just then Aeka came into > the living room and spotted Tenchi. She rushed over to him and smiled, > greeting him warmly. > "Hello Tenchi, welcome home," Aeka smiled. Elana: [Authour] Did I mention she smiled? > "Thanks Aeka," Tenchi said. "Well, I'm going to go take a bath," > he said, heading towards the bathroom. Dan: Damn, you'd think his hormones would have kicked in by now. Elana: Well, I could hear your hormones kicking in from the other side of the room. Janice: Do you two mind not killing each other until after the fic? > "Alright," Aeka said with a slight shrug. > While Tenchi was walking to the bathroom, he felt something suddenly > hold him in place, like arms wrapped around his shoulders. Janice: Gee. Wow. I wonder who that could be. > "Oh, there you are, Ryoko." Tenchi laughed. Dan: [Tenchi] I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die... > "Awww... Hey, I didn't scare you, Tenchi," Ryoko pouted slightly. Elana: Well, she has been doing that for two OVA series, two TV series and two movies already. You would think he would be used to it by now. > "Nope, not this time," Tenchi said proudly. > "Aww..." She continued to pout. "Where ya going Tenchi?" Dan: [Tenchi] Little boy's room. Janice: [Ryoko] Can I watch? Elana: Eww... > She looked at him with a long pouty face. > "To take a bath," he said. > "Well..." She got up with a grin, then wrapped her arms around his > neck again. She breathed on his ear... "Can I go with you?" she teased. Dan: I don't know what's worse. That this is so ponderously slow or that it's so hideously generic for a Tenchi fic. Janice: Or TV episode. Dan: True, thank you. Elana: Or for a second season OVA episode. Dan: Point taken. Janice: Actually, I think "Daughter of Darkness" started- Dan: [Yelling] Alright, already! > "Uh... er..." Tenchi swallowed the lump in his throat. "N-No... > Ryoko..." Tenchi squirmed out of her grip and made a beeline for the > bathroom. Dan: I wouldn't mind it. Elana: [Rolls eyes] Yes, Dan. Thank you, Dan. > Ryoko pouted once again Elana: It's about all she ever does, some days. Janice: You can cut out the anti-Tenchi ranting now. Elana: As soon as the fic stops being so generic. Janice: Um... > as he escaped her. But she soon shrugged it off and teleported away. > Meanwhile, somewhere in the woods... Dan: Seung Mina and Xianghua were making out like there's no tomorrow. Janice: Huh? Dan: You don't want to know. Elana: Uh... [Pauses] No I don't, actually. > "Hey Pikachu, slow down!" Ash protested, chasing after her. > "Pika pika!" was Pikachu's response, as it is to most everything. Elana: Awww, it's so cute! Dan: [To Janice] Oh, boy. We're losing her. Janice: Aww... Dan: [Sighs] > "Um, Ash, maybe she does not like these woods. We have been here for > a few days ya know," Brock said, watching the ongoing spectacle. Dan: Not that we want to know what it is... Janice: Aww... Dan: [Yelling] Snap out of it, the pair of you! [Janice and Elana both suddenly sit bolt upright.] Elana: Thanks. I don't know what just happened. Janice: It's got an aura of cuteness. > "Pikachu," Pikachu responded to Brock's observation. Dan: Well, yeah, that's usually what it says. > He was right. Pikachu did not care for the these woods at all. Janice: What with all the damned trees and such. Dan: And the wreckage from Darrien and Thane's training. Janice: And there you can see Samantha Jones darting through the canopy. Voice: We're gonna get crucified for that. I just know it. > Misty just kept walking... Dan: And walking, and walking, and never noticed the cliff. All: Awww, what a shame. > Actually, following ash as he chased Pikachu. Janice: I'd hope so. Elana: Rule number one of D&D GMing. Never get the party separated. > Then Ash and > the others broke out into a clearing and saw a home ahead of them. It > was the Masaki's home. Dan: I'd hope so, or we wouldn't have a crossover here. Janice: No, sorry, this small house in the woods by a lake with a handy Shinto shrine isn't the Masaki household. Try the next small house in the woods- Elana: Thank you, but we get the picture. > "Whoa... Who would have thought that people would be living all > the way out here in the middle of nowhere?" Dan: Adam and Darrien and Thane and Ranko and- Voice: Don't say Samantha or we'll die. Dan: You ruin all my fun. > Brock scratched his head in slight confusion. Dan: Ah, good ol' Brock. > "Pika pika!" Pikachu stopped running. She seemed happy now that > they were out of the woods. Elana: And into the fire, no doubt. > Ash stopped to catch his breath. > "You know Ash, you really should learn how to breathe when you > run!" Misty said, grinning at him. > HA! I'm fit as a fiddle," he smirked, and fell over. Janice: Comedy! > "Uh, yeah." She looked at the house, then back to Brock. > "OK Brock, so where are we now?" she asked him. > "Well... Either we are somewhere in lavender town or... uh... > Wait a second..." Elana: [Misty] Admit it. We're lost, aren't we? Dan: [Brock] Crap. You caught me. > Brock turned the map over in different directions. Then he realized that > this was not a land map at all. It was a star chart. Elena: Another fine graduate of the Alexander land navigation course. Janice: Who? Elana: Our resident ranger. Dan: Any good? Elana: You should ahve seen him trying to find which berries were poisonous. Janice: I expect he knew them well. Elana: Nope. He tasted them. > "BROCK?!" Misty yelled. "Where have you taken us!" she scolded. Janice: Straight into one of the silliest crossover ideas I've ever seen. > "Hey, where's Pikachu?" Ash got up. Elana: She scampered away while she had the chance. > "I don't know Ash, she was just here, and..." Misty did not see > Pikachu anywhere. Dan: Nah! I wondered why she said that. > "Uh oh..." Brock said with worry. > "Yeah ,uh oh! You better figure out where we are!" Misty pounced > Ash, much like an angry Mankey Pokemon. Janice: Don't you dare say anything about wanting to be Ash about now. Dan: Geez, what do you expect from me? Elana: The most crude and sexist lines possible? Janice: Something like that. > "AGCGHH!" Brock yelped as she throttled and spindled him. Elana: Although she had pounced on... forget it. > "Well... uhh... according to the map... we are in... Kurashiki, > Japan," Brock yelped. > "What?!?!" Ash and Misty's eyes widened. Just then a small furry > creature flopped down onto Ash's head. But it was not Pikachu. Janice: No, it was William Shatner's tribble who'd mistaken Ash's cap for its master's head. > "Misty, why are you looking at me like that?" Ash asked. Dan: Something to do with the aphrodisiac Brock slipped into her food, I reckon. > "Tha-tha-tha..." She pointed at Ash's head. Elana: It's a small, furry and extremely cute creature. You see them every day of the week. Honestly, I don't know what she's so flustered about. > "The what??" Ash patted his head, and he felt something soft and > furry Dan: Oh, man! Ash is getting *really* lucky today! Janice: That's disgusting! > that was purring. Dan: That was due to what was *in* the soft and furry- Elana: Magic missile! [Four glowing green darts shoot out from Elana's hands, blasting Dan off the couch and tossing him against the computer table. Elana dusts off her hands.] Elana: I hope we've learnt our lesson. Dan: [Dazed] They're coming out of the walls! They're coming outta the god damned walls. Janice: He'll be fine. Elana: Sorry. I had to. > "Ahhh!! Get it off, get it off!" He flailed his arms. Dan: [Sits bolt upright] Yeah! Get 'em off her! Elana: Magic- Dan: Alright! Alright! Uncle! Elana: Hmmph! [Dan climbs back onto the couch.] > "MIIYYAA!" Ryo-ohki mewed cheerfully, sitting high on Ash's head. Janice: [Ryo-ohki] Well, the hair ain't blue and there's no pigtails, but it'll do. > "Is it a... Pokemon?" Ash wondered. Dan: It's small, cute, furry and only says one thing. What do you expect? > "Miyaaa!" Ryo-ohki hopped off of Ash's head. > Brock, Misty, and Ash took a good look at the cabbit. It just > stared right back. Elana: Aww... innit adorable? Dan: And she complains about my dialogue? > "Well... there's nothing about this creature in the computer..." > Ash said looking at it. "So I guess it's not a Pokemon," Janice: You know, that thing's been wrong before. > he scratched > his head. Then as looked up and found himself staring into two deep > golden cat-like eyes. Dan: Nah, that's adorable. Elana: You're pushing it again. Dan: Are you usually such a grump? Elana: Only around morons and incompetents. Voice: Be prepared for a lot of headaches around here, then. > "Who are you?" Ryoko said softly, but with strength. Janice: [Advertiser] Soft yet strong, our toilet paper is the best around. > "Uhh... uhh... I'm... Ash Catchem from Palette." He stepped > back. Dan: [Ash from Army of Darkness] Groovy. Janice: And I thought you were the one with the ground rules. > "Oh really? And just what were you planning on doing with my > Ryo-ohki" Ryoko picked Ryo-ohki up and put her on her shoulder. Dan: Ryo-Ohki gets lucky. Elana: Do you think you could try to act like less of a jerk? Dan: Hey, I'm on a good streak here. Elana: Hmmph! > "Well... I, uh... nothing." Ash stuttered. > "That's not what I saw a moment ago," Ryoko snapped, Janice: Actually, he wasn't doing anything in the slightest bit threatening to Ryo-Ohki, but internal continuity's way overrated anyway. > forming her energy blade. Elana: Let's see your precious Pokemon do that. Dan: Well, can you? Elana: [Nods towards sword] Do I need to? Dan: Point taken. > Brock, Misty and Ash jumped back on this particular accord. Dan: And odd stains spread in their pants. > "Really Miss, listen, we didn't mean any trouble..." Brock said > trying to reassure Ryoko that they meant no harm. She was not buying > it. She advanced on the group with a grin. Dan: Actually, she doesn't care. She just needs to vent someone. Janice: You mean "vent some steam." Dan: No, vent as in "ventilate." > Then Ash stepped up. > "Alright, if you want to fight Miss, I will fight you with my > Pokemon!" Ash grinned. Elana: [Giggles] This is going to be funny. Dan: Well, if he's got Charizard... Then it'll just take longer to get squished. > "Oh? You're going to show me something interesting?" Ryoko > stopped, looking at Ash curiously. Ryo-ohki watched on as Ryoko > prepared to do battle. Janice: And he chooses... > "Bulbasaur, I choose you!!" Ash shouted as he threw the pokeball > at Ryoko. The small creature materialized in front of her. [They all fall off the couches, rolling around on the floor and hooting with laughter.] Dan: Bulbasaur... and Ryoko... Aw, gods! Elana: This is too much! I haven't seen anything this funny since Vash last tried to cook. Janice: I mean... there's no comparison! Voice: Do you mind? You're making a spectacle of yourselves. [They stop laughing and get back onto the couches.] Janice: I mean, she's 900 plus points, and it's 50 if it's lucky! Dan: This is so priceless! I haven't seen a fight this one-sided since Nightbaby versus Oscar. Janice: So, um who's this Vash guy? Elana: Our resident blockheaded fighter. He could take down a wyvern in nothing flat, but wouldn't know a domestic situation if it bit him. > She looked down oddly at it, then started to laugh. Janice: Personally, I don't blame her! > But not for long, because Ash instructed Bulbasaur to attack: > "Bulbasaur Vinewhip now!" Dan: Yeah, wow, that's really gonna hold her. > With those word the creature lashed > whips of vines at Ryoko, wrapping her up tightly. Janice: Time for you to go "Ooh, aah, babe in bondage?" Dan: Can't be bothered. Elana: Thankfully. > "Ack! What's this??" Ryoko yelped slightly, then grinned. > "Pretty good kid, but it ain't good enough." She broke the vines with > those words. Dan: Come on, her voice actress isn't *that* bad! Close, though... > "AHH..." Ash's eyes widened. He thought to himself, "What is > she?!?" Brock and Misty watched on anxiously, wondering if they would > need to drag Ash's beaten carcass out of here once Ryoko was finished. Elana: Given that those vine whips are part of him, shouldn't they be concerned about poor Bulbasaur by now? > "Now it's my turn kid!" Ryoko threw the energy blade at Ash. Janice: Boom. So much for our hero. > He barely dodged. A tree behind him was taken down by the blast. Dan: Just that? Elana: She wasn't even trying this time. > Just > then, a dense fog-like smoke started to creep at Ryoko and Ash's feet. Dan: Here comes. > Ash looked down and exclaimed, "Ohhh not now..." with a > disgusted look. He looked around quickly, then he heard the familiar > tone. > "To protect the world from devastation..." A woman jumped down > from a tree with a net in her hand. Janice: Using her hair as a parachute. Dan: You're jsut jealous. Janice: Yeah. [Sniffs] Why can't I have gorgeous long hair like that? Dan: You mean like mine? Elana: Ah, dan? I don't think she quite meant that. Dan: What's wrong with my hair? Elana: Never mind. Forget it. > "To unite all people's within our nation..." A man followed her, > leaping after her. Elana: Well, she leaped down and he followed her, so him leaping down after her would be the natural assumption. > "To denounce the evils of truth and love..." The woman dropped > the net over Ryo-ohki. Janice: Does that neyt come in spaceship size? Just wondering. > "To extend our reach to the stars above!" The man posed with > the woman, scooping up the now netted Ryo-ohki. Dan: Even though she can phase through the net. > "Jessie!" Jessie grinned. > "James!" James grinned as well. Elana: Well, I would hope so. It would be pretty stupid if they had announced each other's names. > "Team Rocket, BLAST OFF AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!" Jessie said with > a smile. > "Surrender now, or prepare to fight!" James chimed in after her. > And a cat-like creature jumped down in front of them. Janice: No, no... Further toward the kill zone. > "Meowth, that's right!" Meowth grinned. Dan: Well, it would be pretty stupid if anyone else said that. > "Hey! Let go of Ryo-ohki!" Ryoko growled, hurling a huge blast > at them. BOOOOOOM!! The blast exploded, hitting them head on. But > they still had the net in hand. Elana: Despite the fact that they had just reached the "speed of light" part. > "LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" Jessie, James, > and Meowth all yelled as they were blasted off. Janice: It's about now we see the problems with meshing two series with different comedy levels. Whereas in Tenchi, that shot would have levelled the three of them- Dan: And she wouldn't have fired, since they had Ryo-Ohki. Janice: Point taken. Anyway, in Pokemon it just send sthem flying into next week's episode. Dan: It's just like Akane clobberijng Angels with a giant mallet. Elana: Huh? Dan: You don't wanna know. Elana: No, I don't. > "Hey!! Come back with my Ryo-ohki!!" Ryoko looked up worriedly. Janice: Er... that was kinda your fault, but never mind. > "Well, this is an interesting predicament," Brock said with his > arms folded. Dan: [Brock] How was that? I sound more like the narrator each day. > Ash tapped Ryoko on the shoulder. Elana: Even though he would be straining to reach it. > "Ummm Miss, do you want some help getting your pet back," he > asked. Dan: Not to burst your bubble kid, but I think Ryo-Ohki can handle herself. > Ryoko turned angrily, then looked down at Ash. Her expression Janice: Turned to huge gouts of sobbing laughter at the thought of this little runt helping her. > softened slightly, remembering it was not the kid's fault. > "Yeah, sure kid. Elana: And thus begins a long and stupid crossover series. > By the way, what was your name?" She looked at him hard. > "Um, Ash, Ash Catchem!" he said. > "And the others?" Ryoko looked at Brock and Misty. Janice: [Ash] Them? They're just extras hired for this scene. > "These are my friends Brock and Misty," Ash said with a sweeping > hand gesture. Elana: Not that I would be proud to count Brock amongst my friends. > "Nice to met you Miss... uh... I did not catch your name," > Brock said. Dan: Good ol' Brock! Doesn't waste a second. Janice: Reminds me of someone around here... > "Ryoko. Ryoko is my name," she said with a grin. > "Ahhh... Miss Ryoko." Brock smiled. > "Well, we can't stay out here all night, and Team Rocket's long > gone by now, so we might as well set up camp," Elana: But you just said you can't stay out here all night... Oh, forget it. > Ash said. "We will track them tomorrow" Ash said with a grin. > "Eh? " Ryoko smirked. "That's fine. We shall do that then," > she said, waving them to follow her to the house. Janice: [Ryoko] Come right on in, don't mind the avatars. And whatever you do, don't bug Vegeta. Elana: Another one of those "I don't really want to knows?" Dan: Bingo. > By now, Pikachu had already found her way to the Masaki household. Dan: And Sasami had invented a new taste sensation. Janice: Now that was just tasteless. Dan: But Pikachu wasn't. Elana: Shocking grasp! [Elana reaches over and grabs Dan's hand. He springs back, startled, clutching his hand in pain.] Dan: Ow... Janice: Serves you right. [The TV switches off.] Dan: That's the end? That seemd like just an intro. Voice: That's it. One chapter, never continued. Elana: Blessedly. Voice: Your reviews now, please. Dan: [To Elana] Theis is how to do 'em. [Clears throat] Well, I thought it was a big waste of bandwidth, personally. A bare minimum plot, generic Tenchi scenes, generic Pokemon scenes, no resolution and a pretty stupid confrontation. Janice: I was really bugged by the crossover aspect. You'd know if the Tenchi and Pokemon worlds were the same by now, and the power levels really didn't mesh. Plus the two shows have nothing to do with each other apart from ahving a really cute mascot. Elana: My turn? [They nod] Well, I didn't think much of it either. It was, simply put, uninspired and uninteresting. The characterisation was basic; essentially they acted in the routines we normally see out of them with no surprises. The storyline, such as it is, was ramrod straight with no twists nor any foreseeable in its future. I would have to say in conclusion that it's a good thing that there is no more of this. Dan: Well done. Elana: Thank you. Voice: Well, that's that for the day. Elana: Good. [She picks up her scabbard and reatatches it to her belt.] Dan: So... [He stands.] You doing anything now? Elana: Getting far away from here. Dan: Can I join you? [Elana turns to Dan and gives him a withering stare.] Elana: [Yelling] don't you people EVER get the picture? Aaargh! [She turns in a huff and stomps out of the room, slamming the door after her.] Janice: Great going. Dan: Come on, it wasn't that bad. [The screen goes blank.] Dan: Was it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Riffed by: Jinas (rickr@one.net.au) Dan, Janice & Elana are copyright 1995-1999 Max Fauth (Jinas) Elmer Studios!: http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Realm/2628/elmer.htm All of Elmer Studios' MSTings, artwork, character profiles, AAVM conversions and the Sattelite of Predacons in one spot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > A normal fic.
