ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

So we're continuing the battle tomorrow? What time? Because Gamer and I are flying back home tomorrow.

We'll probably just do a head-count at some point and keep going when we can

So if we miss it, you won't wait?

As for me, I'm doing flashbacks of my character's early years.

Professor Oak's Lab, 10 years ago

Oak: Today young man, you'll be starting your Pokemon journey.

-Pulls out three Poke Balls-

You have a choice between Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.

Me: I'll choose Bulbasaur.

-Takes Bulbasaur, five Poke Balls, and an old school Pokedex-

Thanks Professor Oak.

Tagg's Mom: Now for a picture.

-Takes the photo of me and my Bulbasaur-

Mommmmmmmm... I want to get started on my journey already.

That's what the head-count is for, Meddler. To make sure that everyone is here.

M.S.: Fool. Those gypped trainers are all wrapped around my little finger... But if you think you can stop me, OLD MAN, you're welcome to try...

Flashback: Route 201- 5 years ago.

Young Gamer: Huh, so this is what Hoenn looks like. Sure is a lot different than Johto.....

Prof. Birch: HEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!!

Huh?!

-I pick up a Treeko's Pokeball, and release it, to fend off a wild Poocheyana.

OLD MAN: Oh yeah? Well I've got... I've got... Um... Well there was this project I was involved in once...

M.S.: Senile fool. You forget how much power is at my fingertips.

-Generates a ball of fire in his hand, before crushing and reabsorbing it-

Just checking.

-Flashback waves, activate!-

-Gamer and I are walking on Route 201-

Meddler: Big brother, I'm so happy we're traveling together! Aren't you?

Gamer: ( I have to ditch her somehow.) Hey sis, is that a Borders I see? Why don't you go stock up on some books for our journey?

Meddler: Okay! -runs off to bookstore-

Gamer: to himself: Sorry sis, but I can't have you slowing me down. -Runs off-

-I return from the bookstore an hour later-

Meddler: Sorry Gamer, I was reading a book.

-notices Gamer is not there-

Meddler: -Deadpan- He left without me, didn't he?

-sigh- Well, I guess I have to try to catch up to him.

-runs off-

-end flashback-

OLD MAN: I didn't want to do this... But I have the power to call my creation at any time.

Professor Oak's lab, six years from that date

-There happens to be a rainstorm outside-

Professor Oak: -Hears knocking- I wonder who that could be?

-Opens the door to see a rather drenched sixteen year old me-

Professor Oak?

Professor Oak: Hello Tagg, I see you've started to grow past 5'3".

Professor Oak, being a Trainer is fun and all, but...

-Sits down-

I feel as if I lack purpose. I've done work for you, Elm, and Birch, but I'd like to do something more.

Professor Oak: Well, let me show you something.

-Turns on his computer-

A lot of the academia have been saying that the Pokedexes you and others hold are simply not enough in terms of information. To that end, we've been gathering trainers from all over to participate in an Expanded Pokedex Project.

-Hands me the e-mail for one Tangent-

Tangent is the coordinator for the project, so you should get in contact with him.

-Holds Tangent's contact information in my hand-

You know what, I think I'll do it. I always did like science.

-Runs off to his house to e-mail Tangent-

M.S.: It may interest you to know, OLD MAN, that this time I've ensured your inaction. With a mere flick of my wrist, I can destroy every coffee tree in Kanto. No more coffee. No more attrition from you. Are you willing to risk that to stop me?

OLD MAN: Darnit... You win Magikarp Seller... -Begins chanting under breath-

M.S.: Of course I win. All previous losses were mistakes on my part, or your own luck. This time I have ironed out all possible failures. And now, to ensure that you never rise up against my future ravaging of this planet, I shall end your pitiful existence once and for all, right here!

Agate Village, Orre

-Gets off my hover moped-

Wow, this place is a lot greener than the rest of the region.

-Walks around-

There's still no wild Pokemon though.

OLD MAN: -Letting the incantation become a little louder- Silphine parkus alta Missinga!

M.S.: ...What are you rambling about now, old fool?

Oasis Poke Spot, some time later

-Spots Miror B.-

Who the heck is this? That Poke Ball afro looks ridiculous.

-Miror B. spots me and turns around-

Miror B.: Stupid kid, I ought to teach you some manners.

-Under his breath- And you ought to get some better fashion sense.

Miror B.: You want to fight me kid? I, Miror B., will throughly trounce you and your Pokemon. Let the music play!

-Miror B.'s iPhokex starts playing this-

A theme song? How pretentious.

OLD MAN: A fragment of Project 331, or as the news called it, Missingno.

-A portal appears in the air between the two, the area beyond filled with scrolling green text-

M.S.: ...What?! What is this!? You stubborn old fool, if this is a trick of yours I will end you now!

-His hands transform into fiery Magikarps-

OLD MAN: Nice juxtaposition there, fire shaped like a water type. Hey, where's Weedle Prime?

Weedle Prime: -Pushes Magikarp Salesman into the portal- <Indeed>

-Miror B. sends out two Ludicolo-

Okay then, go Muddy and Forecaster!

-Both appear-

Miror B.: Ludicolo, use Rain Dance! Ludicolo, use Mega Drain on Castform!

-One of the Ludicolo creates a rainstorm, causing Forecaster to transform and the Ludicolo's Rain Dish ability to activate while the other Ludicolo drains Forecaster's energy-

Alright then, Forecaster use Ice Beam! Muddy, use Brick Break!

Palkia: BUT IF X TIMES THE SINE OF ANGLE 34 IS EQUAL TO 168 KILOGRAMS ACCORDING TO THE HUMAN METRIC SYSTEM, THEN YRE SQUARE ROUTE OF PI TO NINTH POWER IS EQUAL TO MY CURRENT WEIGHT?

Dialga: SKREEEEEEEE!

It's 172.65 (2 decimal places)
