PREVIOUSLY, ON RIKA LIVEBLOGS POOH'S ADVENTURES OF THE PRINCESS AND THE TOGEPI!
Rika: Look...I went through your past...I documented it. Please, if you plan to be here...please don't kill us...
Matt: (completely baffled) What? You honestly think that I would do that? After everything else I've been through?
Rika: ...I will admit one thing. This actually doesn't suck. I'm also guilty of hogging some elements from other works as well, but that doesn't always mean it's a bad thing.
Matt: You said almost the exact same thing the last time you liveblogged one of the Prayer Warriors series, and not only did that suck, but it also trapped some of the Rangers and Sentai Warriors in your dimension, including Catherine.
Rika: I will admit...it's actually interesting.
...though what do you want to bet that this isn't the last we see with the whole "crossover worlds", and Winnie and his friends end up being fanfic versions of Lil Wayne, where they want to collaborate with everyone, everywhere?
(then, enter Andros...)
Andros: Karone? You in there? Where the fuck are you?
Matt: ...Andros, is that you?
AND NOW, THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES OF RIKA LIVEBLOGS!
Andros: ...where's Karone? And where the hell am I?
Matt: Karone is not here. And you're in this woman's dimension. (points to Rika)
Andros: ...(looks at Rika) Oh, for fuck's sake, you're not going to slander the Graysons, are you?
Rika: (completely confused) ...no? Why would I do that? You may have mistaken me for someone else...
Matt: Besides, that particular Rika died five years ago.
Andros: W-what?! (he stares, wide-eyed, then he sits down) I wish I would have g-gotten to know her better...
Matt: ...you haven't heard of it until now? And she's not completely dead, anyway. She's reborn as Mizuka, a demon.
(Andros makes a grimace, whereas Rika just...blinks, not sure what she can say)
Rika: Anyway...you wanna join us, Andros?
Andros: I guess...(he sits down)
Rika: Anyway, where were we...? Oh, yes! Previously, we met with Winnie, and he's not preparing for a play for once. Instead, he finds out that Ash and Misty are going to be back together, and pretty much damn near everyone got an invitation.
Andros: Is that even fucking unheard of?!
Rika: It's the Pooh's Adventures series, Andros, this sort of thing happens all the time.
(Carter explains to Andros what it is)
Andros: ...
:|
Rika: And now, we continue with...!
(click!)
Chapter 5: Flaversham Kidnapped
...by the way, remember when I said that this story was a remake of "The Princess and the Togepi" with some The Great Mouse Detective plot stuff thrown in there for good measure? Yeah. We're gettin' that right now.
Only it seems to be completely ripped off from the same scene that did have Flaversham kidnapped. On one hand, if I were to imagine this as a movie, it would make everything feel very lazy. On the other hand...I'm not so sure how I feel about it.
Andros: ...just a question, how much shit is this story going to rip off?
Rika: A lot, Andros. A lot.
Carter: To make it a long story short, in Slumberland, where it's combined with London—or Mousedom, whatever—and Narnia...
Rika: (to the audience) Seriously.
Carter: Anyway, after a lengthy description, we're introduced to Hiram Flaversham and his daughter, Olivia.
Rika: For those of you who have seen The Great Mouse Detective...(she raises her own hand)...allow me to recap the chapter for you. After Hiram gives Olivia a ballerina toy for her birthday, Fidget shows up to not only crash the party, but to also kidnap the toymaker.
Andros: (glancing) Holy shit, this Hiram guy is really putting up a fight!
Rika: Really?
Andros: Yeah! Even though he's too fast...Rika, do you know if it really happened?
Rika: I can't quite recall if there was any sort of fight. I may have seen the film, but it's been a long-ass time ago.
Carter: But, of course, it's not to last, as Fidget does manage to succeed. After the fight, Olivia tries to call for her father, but there's no answer there. The chapter ends with her leaving, in search for her dad.
Andros: And the author helpfully notes that Flaversham has been kidnapped. No duh, you think we've seen it some paragraphs ago, dude?
Rika: And we get more story ideas in the future.
By the way, considering that this summarization's so short, I should take the time to mention the author's other works. He's a guy who prefers quantity over quality, as there are 143 fucking stories, most of them, I shit you not, are remakes of other series. Most of those repeating over and over, with different casts of characters.
Granted, I'm always guilty of making remakes of other series as I see fit. But this is just lazy, and sometimes, the casting makes no sense.
...it's like I decided, out of the blue, to remake A Christmas Carol, only with Andros as the Scrooge Expy, Justin as the Tiny Tim Expy, and Zordon, Gosei, and Matt as the Expies of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come, respectfully!
Which isn't a bad idea. (puts up a sign that says, DO IT, FANFIC WRITERS!)
Matt: You can't be serious.
Rika: Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not.
(Matt slowly blinks, and he heads out...he tries to see what is the cause for the Rangers to appear.)
(...then, Matt looks up and sees...)
Matt: ...really? A dimensional portal? Then again, at least it isn't a black hole or...something.
Then again, why am I surprised to see that there?
(Matt shrugs, and he goes back to the group.)
So, Rika, wish to continue?
Rika: You bet I am! (click!)
Andros: Okay, wait a minute, how did pretty much everyone receive Pokeballs?
Rika: Simply put, they probably got them before they headed off into the Pokemon world.
Matt (a bit nostalgic): Ah, I remember the times where I was a Pokemon Trainer. Together with my Charizard and Articuno...with a few others, of course...we dominated the gyms. Too bad I never got the chance to beat the Elite Four, but I might have been a bit overpowered. (he chuckles)
Rika: They later meet Chip, Dale, and the Rescue Rangers. And, sadly, an alternate Carter Grayson is nowhere to be found. Then again, I would hate to have the author fuck up everything that's good about him.
Andros: Is it me, or are they singing? I've noticed that, on several lines, they have strange breaks in between...
Rika: I don't think so. (she looks) But they are pretty much finishing each other's sentences.
Carter: After that, they head to the Pokemon World. Naruto decides to leap over the fence, and nothing happens.
Rika: Have to admit, I do like Naruto's characterization. I mean, it's actually a lot better than this.
- Naruto: "THIS WORLD IS WRONG AND FUCKED UP AND U GUYS DONT LIKE ME AND UR SO MUCH BETTER RONAN I CANT TAKED AND MY DOCK IS REALLY SMALL SO GOOFUCKINGDBYE!"
Matt: ...where in the hell did that come from?
Rika: A really, really shitty fanfic. But you know what? I'd gladly take laziness over sheer OOCness any day of the week.
Then Tigger jumps over the fence, but he ends up landing on Naruto. Whoops. And then, a few paragraphs later, we do get a broken one, where we don't know what the others are doing.
And yes, I briefly skipped over that, but whenever the group's mentioned...pretty much everyone, and I do mean everyone, is listed. Wouldn't it just be easier to list them as "the group"?
Carter: After that, the group encounters something odd. Rika, what the heck is this...thing?
Rika: That's an Axew, one of several Dragon-type Pokemon. And yes, some people even have Pokedexes. Huh.
Andros: ...and then, someone tries to capture the purple thing. Turns out that it didn't work, hitting it on the head instead. I'm calling it, it's a human, shit like this always happens.
Carter: How would you know about that?
Andros: You pretty much know some cliches.
- "Then somthing...or should i say someone, appear outta the bush, reaviling that it wasn't a pokemon...it was a girl."
HA! Fucking called it!
Rika: The girl, Iris, is not really happy, and the group explains that they were trying to catch something. As expected, she insists that she is not a Pokemon. And she tells Aang to prove that Justin isn't a Pokemon, either. Yeah...
Naturally, she tells them that they have a long way to go, if they wanted to become trainers. The entire bulk of the story has Iris and Justin releasing their Pokemon, Iris' Axew, and Justin's Pikachu, the latter nicknamed "Thunder".
Carter: Iris says that she'll take the group to Ash and his friends, and the rest has the group introducing themselves. After the mass introduction, Iris doesn't let go of Thunder, until the Pokemon uses, well, an electric-type move. And that's where this chapter ends.
Rika: So far, it's kinda boring, if a bit ripoff-y. But...at the very least, the story's flowing pretty nicely.
Matt: ...hey, Rika.
Rika: Yeah?
Matt: ...I've been thinking. And it isn't about a portal I've found...but how do you find the stories you tell about?
Rika: Just choose them at random.
(...then...a ball of light appears)
???: Hello? Hey, guys, are you from the past?
Matt: ...
Rika: Oh, for God's sakes...really? We're really going there?
TO BE CONTINUED...
