[The feed opens up to a Magikarp splashing around in a small pool of water. But this is no ordinary Magikarp; this Magikarp is glowing. It seems that whoever is recording wants to capture the evolution on camera.

That person may or may not also be cackling. It's rather distinct to anyone who has heard it before...]

After months of absolutely miserable torture attempting to train this thing, the time as finally come for this useless fish to become something truly amazing! To all those who mocked me, feast your eyes, for I have persevered!

[Just as he finishes that little speech, the Magikarp's glowing form begins to shift and grow. The camera moves up as the shape becomes snake-like and continues to grow...until it finally stops. The glow fades, revealing a newly evolved Gyarados.]

Gyyyyaaaaaarrrrr...

Oh, just look at you. At long last, you can actually be useful. What a glorious day this is...

[As Dist goes on about how amazing this all is, the Gyarados seems to be checking out its new body. He looks proud of what he's accomplished. While Dist isn't paying attention, he begins to arch down toward his trainer and lets out a magnificent roar.]

GYYAAAAAA!!

Wh-What are you doing?! Don't come any close—aaaaaaauuugh!

[The Gyarados suddenly lunges at Dist, and the last thing the feed shows is a Scizor darting into view and grabbing the Gyarados's head by the mouth with her huge pincers. As Dist stumbles to the ground, the feed comes to an end.]

Threaded | Flat

[[oh thank god, he's not the only one who gets attacked by his own Pokemon]]

Infuriating, isn't it?

[[Have Kato (thankfully dressed like a man) popping up on the feed, Dist, a sympathetic expression on his face.

...

well, as sympathetic as he can get]]

I trust you're alright?

[This is Gorthan, who seems a little too impassive to be described as actually enjoying this.]

I am glad to see your research on Pokémon evolution take shape and direction, my dear Rose. This, too, is a remarkable result, and you have my praise for it.

You did, however, make one amateurish mistake. Never turn your back on a creature who is bursting at the seams to try out its newly acquired powers. Thankfully, it doesn't seem like a mistake you are going to repeat...

[So by the looks of things, Sollux made a response to this message solely to record himself laughing at Dist's misfortune.]

[What a nice guy.]

[Oh, this scene looks familiar. Very, very, familiar. Basically what happened when her useless fish evolved.]

Isn't it just so frustrating?

The stupid fish turns into that?! He's huge!

...

[Just this face...if he's going to stand around referring to his Pokemon as a "useless fish" he can't be that surprised when it lunges at him...]

[Thankfully, Cobra finished laughing at this before responding.]

Are you okay? I would hate for a valued member of the team to be eaten by their own Pokemon.

[He is trying so hard not to start laughing again.]

Uh...are you okay?

[worrying about strangers as usual

but...]

I hope you don't regularly speak to him in that manner. Pokemon raised that long learn to value their trainer's opinions highly.

[ >:C

>:C!! okay now he can]

Did he harm you?

[Someone, namely this Rocket girl, was about to have a normal day with training her Pokémon here. But hey, this is an amusing turn of events and makes her wonder if all Gyarados do that to their trainer. ...Should she help him? Maybe. Does he want help from a Luxray? Good question.

Oh hey, something that you said doesn't make any sense to her. So, speaking of questions...]

Why would anyone train a Magikarp for months, when they could just catch or fish one between levels 10 and 20 from this route?

Edited 2012-10-23 22:58 (UTC)

Oh, would you look at that! You're not completely useless as a trainer after all.

[...

...

...

sciencebro...]

...well, thank you for giving me yet another reason to never train one of those things.
