The General Thread

A friend of mine caught this redraw of one of my drawings on deviantart. I'm laughing so hard.
I put the redraw and mine together so you can compare them.

you know what they say, Imitation is the best form of flattery!
 
Good grief, I'm still trembling...

Some little brats just passed by and I noticed from a window upstairs that they were about to throw some stones at a dog that lives in the neighborhood just because she barked at them. I got out to her side before they tried anything and I saw that a neighbor also exited his house. They just left after that and I stayed with her a little while. Still... :mad:
 
I'm skipping a few chapters in John's story since a few confusing things happen to him and this really is the type of fanfic you need to read through beginning to end, if you are to understand it at all. Anyway, he has teamed up with a being known as "Psycho". Yes, a Pokemon fanfic featuring a character named Psycho. Psycho has the ability to transform his body into absolutely anything he wants (to contrast John's power to make his Pokemon do absolutely anything he wants). Psycho has a little friend named "Yahoe" (pronounced yay-oh). After certain mishaps, John and Psycho eventually became captured and kidnapped, finding themselves inside a mysterious airship, coming face to face with the series villain.

“It sure is drafty down here.” John said, climbing down a ladder to a lower part of the airship he and Psycho were held captive. “What do you see down there Psycho?” John asked to Psycho, who was down farther.
“There seems to be an odd glow in the chamber below.” Psycho answered. It was very drafty in the room below, John & Psycho could hear atmospheric noises combined with propellor whirls.
“What is that Orange glow?” John asked, observing at the glow further down the hall.
“Lets follow it and see.” Psycho said, and the two ran to the glow.

John & Psycho were greeted with a machine, one that appeared to be one for life support. Inside the tube was an Orange apparition. From inside appeared to be the noises of a purr a cat makes. “What... is it?” John asked Psycho.
“Whatever it is, something seems so... Familiar about it!” Psycho responded.
“Yahoe Yahoe!” said Yahoe, who popped up. Yahoe fluttered onto the tube and started dancing on top of it.
“What is it Yahoe? Has something about it excited you?” Psycho asked.
“Think we should open the tube?” John asked, and he walked up to the console to look at the buttons...

*SLASH*

“AAAAAGH!” John screamed in agony. He looked at his pained wrist and saw the base had been slashed somehow, and was bleeding.
“I am sorry, but you will be doing NOTHING of the sort.” said a voice from behind. John & Psycho turned around and saw a young kid wearing a hood. His eyes held the most wicked, devious glare. Nothing appeared more evil to even Psycho. “You must NOT awaken Operation I.S.A.” the kid said. “It was hard to confine it in the first place. Unfortunately, the two of you have discovered one of my Secrets. Only I can know my Secrets. I must now kill you.” he said, with such evil, wicked, confident intent.
“Oh know you don’t!” said Psycho, as he launched to the kid growing sharp blades onto his fingers like Wolverine.
“Go Alakazam!” the kid said, throwing a Poke Ball.
“Alakazam!” said his Alakazam.
“Alakazam, Psychic!” he commanded.
“Kaaaaa-ZAM!” said Alakazam, firing a Psychic blast to Psycho, who completely deflected the attack.
“Wh-AAT?” the kid shouted kind of distinctly.
“Haha, Psychic power cannot harm me. I am *REDACTED*, and I have a Psychic Ability score of 100!” Psycho said to the trainer.
“Something else has a high Psychic Ability score?” the kid said. “That cannot be!” he said, kind of worried.

“This buys me time to free this Orange thing.” John said. “Go Mankey!” he said, throwing a Poke Ball.
“Mankey!” said Mankey.
“Lets see, Mankey knows Call a Helicopter and Punch the Ground. Neither of those will really help.” John thought to himself. “I know what to do!” he said, taking out a Random TM from his backpack.
“Mankey!” said Mankey, excited to learn a new move.
“Okay Mankey, with this Random TM, I teach you Dragon Rage!” John said, writing “Dragon Rage” onto the Random TM’s Label. John then broke the TM onto Mankey, who absorbed the powder.
“Mankey!” said Mankey, ready.
“Alright Mankey!” John said. “Use Dragon Rage!” he commanded. Mankey had a very angry look in his eyes, they turned Cobalt Blue, and he screamed.
“MAAAAANKEY!” Mankey screamed, and jumped onto the machine tube, and started punching it very aggressively and hard.

*PARAGRAPH REDACTED*

*CRASH*

“Hah! Good work Mankey!” John commended.
“MANKEY!” Mankey said, roaring with power successfully destroying the tube of the machine that contained the Orange glow.
“Rrrrrrrr-OAR!” sounded the Orange glow, and it shot into the wall of the room, making a hole in the aircraft which sucked everyone in slowly. John and Psycho grabbed onto something and John recalled Mankey.
“What have, you done?” the kid said solemnly. “You have... I’m gonna FUCKING KILL YOU!” he said with pure anger in his eyes. He clasped his hands together, and started charging power.
“Oh crap! We got him pissed!” Psycho said rather casually.
All of a sudden, two figures Teleported into the room. One was a Human-Human woman and the other was a Purple, Bipedal Cat Pokemon. “Jason, stop!” said the woman, grabbing him and hoping to stop him. “You two, get out now, while you can!”
“Okay.” John said. “Charmeleon, lets go!” he said, tossing a Poke Ball.
“Meleon!” said Charmeleon.
“Transform into a Jetpack, now!” John commanded.
“Meleon!” said Charmeleon, getting into position and transforming into a Jetpack. John strapped on the Jetpack, Psycho shrunk and clunged onto John, and the two escaped the damaged aircraft...

With things like airships, and attempting to make a broad, broad, world where things are happening to each and all characters at the same time, I wonder what part of my inspiration is? :asperchu:
 
My mom keeps on hounding me about going back to school since "my history degree didn't work out". are you fucking kidding me? Do you know how expensive grad school is, and how hard it is to get in. and I'd still have trouble finding work.
 
Just watched the first episode of the new Cosmos mini-series. It didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know (except for Bruno's story) but I have to say the visuals are just... no words can do them justice. So fucking beautiful. Can't wait for the next episode.
 
I only just made the connection now that Yahoo mail has "Hi, Chris" up at the top when I log in.
 
Just finished Agito. That makes 7 series I have finished. Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, W, OOO, Fourze and Wizard. Thinking of knocking off some of the specials/movies for Riders that never got a tv series to add to my list (ZX, ZO, J and Shin). Granted, I do that and I can add G to the list right now.
 
Jake and Matthew were still on the third floor of the Five-Story Rocket Casino, the lights were still off and Jake started to get really thirsty, but didn’t tell Matthew. Jake then heard a familiar hum, they came across a water fountain.
“Hey, wait a sec.” Jake said rather quietly, opening his mouth and drinking the delicious water. Once he got his fill, he left the fountain. “Okay, I’m ready.” He said, not immediately noticing Matthew was no longer with him. “Oh crap, Matthew!” Jake shouted, but there was no response. “Aww… shoot! Now what?” Jake asked himself, as he just decided to move forward.
At the top of the stairway to the final floor, Andy & Jason were at the door that read “Office of Giovanni.”
“This is it, go Rhyhorn!” said Andy, releasing the rock Rhino.
“Don’t forget our secret weapon.” Said Jason, preparing to charge behind Rhyhorn.
“Alright, Rhyhorn, charge!” Andy, Jason & Rhyhorn broke down the door to Giovanni’s office.
“What the?” asked a surprised Giovanni.
“Giovanni! We’re here to force answers out of you!” shouted Jason.
“Hmm Hmm Hmmm, foolish kids.” Said Giovanni. “You dare stand up to the leader of Team Rocket? And you think a Pokemon battle will make me tell you my secrets? Well, not this time.” He said while smiling. Just then, Giovanni brandished an AK-47 assault rifle. “Now, get out!” he threatened.
“Attack Rhyhorn!” Andy commanded.
“RY-HORN!” Rhyhorn shouted, and thrusted into Giovanni’s chest. Giovanni lay unconscious on the floor, Jason tapes his mouth with duct tape and ties his legs and arms together.
“Go Squirtle!” said Andy, releasing his Squirtle. “Water Gun on Giovanni’s face.” He ordered. Squirtle successfully woke Giovanni up.
“Now, tell us.” Jason said, “What do you know about Operation I.S.O.?” he asked, ripping the tape off Giovanni’s lips.
“I’ll never tell foolish kids like you.” Giovanni said. “You trainers, you think you’re that tough? You’ll never be able to control such power.”
“Yeah, right.” Responded Jason. “You see these objects?” Jason held out the rubber chicken and the roll of duct tape. “This stuff is the most dangerous stuff we have, if together. You see, we got a special Pokemon with us. A Pokemon unlike any you’ve seen before.”
“Mmmm?” Giovanni thought.
“Let’s go!” said Andy, tossing the Pokeball. The Pokeball released out a new shape of energy, and a small figure was created. It was brown skinned, had a belt shape around its waist, had Bart Simpson-style hair, a crazy face and clenched fists.
“Ah, hahahahahaha!” laughed the mysterious Pokemon.
“I, I, I don’t believe it!” said Giovanni. “A Human-Type Pokemon!”
“Ninja!” Andy commanded to the Pokemon evidently named “Ninja”. “Do something involving a Rubber Chicken & Duct Tape!”
“Neeen-JA!” said Ninja, taking the rubber chicken & duct tape, and in total Macguyver Style, creates a dangerous bomb out of it.
“Oh my God!” said Giovanni.
“You can stop this, what is Operation I.S.O.?” asked Jason.
“I’ll never talk!” demanded Giovanni. Jason walked up and squatted down to reach his face to Giovanni’s.
“You may as well just tell me, because I’m gonna find out one way or another.” Jason gloated. “You see, I got… control.” Jason said with a creepy smile. “So tell me!”
Giovanni grunted, and said, “I’m just going to not say, you’re going to have to kill me.”
“Fine.” Said Jason, and the bomb exploded. The bomb exploded the upper left corner of the casino; Jake felt the explosion and passed out. Outside, the patrons of the casino quickly ran outside to avoid the collapse of the Rocket casino, Jake, Andy, Jason & Giovanni stuck in the rubble.

In this chapter early in the story, I establish fully well that this is not an ordinary Pokemon fanfic, and I'm not below the idea of including terrorist acts in the supposedly friendly and peaceful World of Pokemon. People and Pokemon have died in this story. Anyway, I also introduce an important plot point in the "Human-Type Pokemon" which may seem retarded at first glance, but the whole thing plays into my theme of how it is Science and its constant research that has fucked the world up. I mention that I'm a "Generational Historian", and the things I go on to make these Pokemon trainers do represents what I think the youth of society will become in a short decade or less... Even though I mentioned there are deaths, bear in mind none of the good guys do killing ;) But these guys drive and drink and other "adultish" (sex) activities. I would never have my characters be cold-blooded.

Besides, I really need to finish writing the story, the Grand Pokemon God is ready for her return to see her Four Children.
 
Well, parody is involved, but this story was based off a tabletop game (like Dungeons & Dragons) but based on Pokemon.

I mean, is your fic meant to be taken seriously? You're talking about it being a mature and adult take on the Pokemon world and how Human-type Pokemon are part of a theme about science going too far.

And then there's a Pokemon called Ninja who has the ability to make a bomb from a rubber chicken and duct tape and is described by the omniscient narrator as having "Bart Simpson-style hair." And one of the characters makes a point of stopping at a drinking fountain before committing terrorism. And Ryhorn just knocks a man unconscious from ramming him, presumably with the giant horn on its head.

I can't tell if I'm supposed to take this seriously or not.

I had to stay an hour and a half after my job closed because the dullards I work with kept telling people we could do work for them. By "we" they meant me, I guess, since I'm on closing shift today and opening tomorrow. I still have a ton of stuff to finish up first thing tomorrow.(:_(
