| Revolutionary Thoughts: A Gentlemen's Agreement |
| written by: Tsubasa on 2010-07-30 at 10:25 AM |
So I've recently started playing Battle Revolution again, and you know in the past I had a love hate relationship with WiFi battles. In the last 3 years it seems nothing has improved with the idiotic and lazy nature of people who play pbr. The rampant netdecking, the notion of stealing movesets from the Internet, is strong as ever. I've had more than one of my movesets stolen by Smogon. More and more people are using OU and Uber parties. Now before I hear someone talk about the whole metagame in pbr, I swear I'm going to punch them. A metagame is just that, a game within a game that players agree on. Not on random wifi, where the other person didn't agree upon it. Don't get me wrong the other person is just much at fault. Random is random, you never know what you might get. But that's no way to justify "oh well everyone else uses OU and I don't have a brain to think for myself".
So this is what I propose, A Gentlemen's Agreement and a change to fan created standard rule set for PBR. Since there are 11 colosseums in PBR, and what I consider roughly 3 popular Pokemon classes, UU, OU, and Uber, you can divide those colosseums up. What I propose is 3 colosseum for players who play UU, NU, and BL parties, 3 divided amongst OU players, and 3 for Uber players (who frankly deserve none), and the last 2 for anything goes.

| Lily's Pick: Masters of Johto |
| written by: Lily Flower on 2010-07-24 at 10:02 AM |
Here is a quick post about the story that I am currently reading this week. This is a cute furthershipping story. For those who don't know what furthershipping, it is the relationship between Ash and Leaf (Blue), the girl from the FireRed and LeafGreen games. I like this couple because they never talk about the other two trainers that left Pallet Town except that they gave up on their journey. Well I always thought that one of those two could have been the a girl, similar to how Blue is in the comic.
The story is called Master of Johto by Rayquaza45, and can be found at http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5937462/1/Masters_of_Johto.
As always, here is the first chapter of Master of Johto
Chapter 1: Finding out
A raven haired teenager woke up late on a Friday, feeling completely exhausted from the surprise 14th birthday party thrown for him during the previous night at his friend and former rival, Gary Oak's house. Proud of his recent accomplishments in the Sinnoh region, Ash Ketchum of Pallet town had come home two weeks prior. His mother Delia, Professor Oak, Gary himself and Tracy Sketchit had all been at the party, along side the teenage trainer's most recent traveling buddies: Dawn Berlitz and Brock Harrison. Not to mention all of their pokemon. The party had gone on till early in the morning and involved some questionable activities while Delia Ketchum and the Professor had left to attend to some business in town.
It's didn't exactly help that Gary's 14th birthday party had run a similar length just one day prior and had involved even more questionable activities. Not having adults in the house was awesome. Strange that it happened on two consecutive days. Ash tried to get out of his bed while exhausted, resulting in him falling on his ass. The pain quickly put him in an alert state of mind. Quickly brushing his teeth, taking a bath and getting dressed, Ash got ready to chow down. He ran downstairs, almost tripping on the stairs on the way.
"Hey, mom?" Ash said quietly while looking around. There was no response. "Strange."
His mother was nowhere to be seen. Her trusty Mr. Mime had also vanished. Ash put his shoes on, assuming that his mom had gone out. Suddenly, Pikachu came up to him.
"Hey Pikachu. Do you know where mom went?"
Pikachu simply pointed out the large building that could be seen from the window: Professor Oak's lab. Dawn had been staying there since Ash had finished up in Sinnoh two weeks prior. Brock had visited his own family and returned for the party the previous day. He left once again late in the night after an emergency in the Pewter City gym required his immediate attention. In contrast, Dawn's intention was to travel Kanto for pokemon contests as Ash's friend May once did. Her 12th birthday had already passed by just before the group finished up in Sinnoh; it was unfortunate that she didn't get to spend it with her family, having been far away from her home in Twinleaf Town. As to the accomplished pokemon trainer: he didn't have an immediate plan regarding where to go next on his journey and was just biding his time till something came up. Grabbing his belt containing his pokeballs and putting on his coat, he exited the house.

Title: Trick Room of Terror! Satoshi Versus Kouhei!! (恐怖のトリックルーム!サトシ対コウヘイ!!) Air Date: July 22, 2010 Summary: While train, Infernape upgrades his Flame Wheel with Flare Blitz. Kohei spys on Ash thinking he will using the Pokemon he is currently training. However during the battle Ash goes with Noctowl, Donphan, and Gible surprising Kohei. Kohei counters with Shuckle, Lickilicky, and Dusknoir. In the end, Ash advances to the Top 8, his next opponent is Shinji. Source: Wikipedia
I didn't find last weeks battle between Shinji and Jun all that exciting and this week was a little better. I actually expected Ash to use some his Johto and Kanto Pokemon, however he goes with Noctowl (Johto), Donphan (Hoenn), and Gible (Shinn'oh); which is nice to see. However, this episode proves that Ash is one "of those trainers", who solely rely on speed. Also the surprise at the end of the episode took me for a loop, at first I thought it was going to Charizard, but it made more sense for the Pokemon to show up; since it would unbalance if Ash used two fire Pokemon against Shinji. Also looks like Ash will be using 4 of his Shinn'oh Pokemon, along with Pikachu and Galie.

| Lily's Pick: Kamo! |
| written by: Lily Flower on 2010-07-18 at 3:14 PM |
Warning, this fic contains very OCness (out of character). This is a school fic about May trying to win the heart of her beloved Ash, with rival girls, Misty and Dawn giving her a run for her money. Contains a clumsy May, a dense Ash, a beautiful Misty, and a cutie in Dawn.
The fic is called Kamo! written by Razgriz89 and can be found at http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4756474/1/Kamo
As always here is the first chapter to give you all a taste!
Touka City (Petalburg City): the city of a thousand petals blooms again. Spring has come to this bustling city of flowers. It is called so because of the abundance of dozens of flowers at every home garden or park. There lives a family of five in this city of a thousand petals. Among the family is a twelve-year-old girl who is currently getting ready for probably one of the biggest days of her life—the start of a new school year. So what's so exciting about a new semester? What's so exciting about going back to school for another year of endless volleys of homework and hours of lectures which take the fun out of the youth?
Here's a hint:
"I can't believe I'm going to see him again, kamo!" She said; followed by an earsplitting squeal.
"Onee-chan, would you keep it down?" Her brother knocked on the door; annoyed by his sister's excessive squealing. "You've been squealing for about an hour already!"
"What's wrong with squealing when I'm about to see…'him'?"
"For starters, you're going to wake the neighbors up."
"Oh please, it's like six in the morning already. They're already up…unless they want to be late for something."
"Ugh! Just make it fast or we're going to be late on the first day of school. I don't want my clean record to be stained because of you."
"Yeah, yeah, just give me five minutes."
"Yeah right, that's what you said twenty minutes ago."
"You want me to finish up or not?"
Meet Kumano Haruka (May Maple): age 12, brown hair, sapphire eyes, born on the 28th of February, and a girl who has a burning passion for a thing called love. She has a young brother who goes by the name of Kumano Masato (Max Maple): age 9, dark green hair with a hint of black, emerald eyes, born on the 10th of March, and the most annoying person on the face of the planet…at least according to Haruka. Both are students of East Touka City Academy: Haruka entering her first year in high school and Masato entering fifth grade in elementary school. There was a significant gap between the two: Masato is sometimes called "the walking zukan (Pokedex)" because of his broad knowledge of Pokemon. On the other hand, Haruka could barely answer a test without being tutored by her little brother which was very embarrassing on her part.
But today, all that was going to change. A new school year means a fresh chance to start anew. She had been waiting for this day—the day when the boy of her dreams would return again…and another three years of adventures full of mishaps.
"Look out, Satoshi (Ash Ketchum)!" Haruka said; upholding her clenched fist. "It's Haruka's second coming, kamo!"
She was so busy on her ultimate goal; her foot got caught in a shallow hole and tripped.

| Black and White Thoughts: WTF Pokemon! |
| written by: Tsubasa on 2010-07-13 at 5:15 PM | Pokemon Black and White some how seems to make me angry every time they reveal a new Pokemon. The same goes for the anime, as you can read all about it from my previous blog. What has me angry? Well first I though Pokemon was getting on the Yu-Gi-Oh bandwagen, however I now think they are after Digimon. Firstly let me get this out, I am as much of Pokemon fan as I am a Digimon fan, also people need to remember Digimon is a whole 5 years older I believe. Also I did try to once make a Battle Revolution team consisting of Pokemon that look like Digimon, cough-Claydol-cough. Anyways, looking at the new Pokemon, here are comparisons.
