History Fanfic / ThePokemonSquad

* AuthorTract: Episode 228 starts out with a quest to retrieve an ancient artifact from Japan, but [[spoiler: but by Chapter 9, it devolves into little more than a continuous string of {{Take That}}s against Junichi Masuda and his direction of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' from [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY X and Y onward]]]].

** Also, RM occasionally. In Episode 228, he eats an entire bowl of chocolates in a hotel room without a second thought, though it does wreak havoc on his stomach. [[spoiler: It turns out that the chocolates were laced with laxative powder, indicating that someone was sabotaging their mission to grab an ancient artifact from Japan]].

** In Episode 228, on a mission to retrieve an ancient artifact, RM [[spoiler:is hired at a museum by a Japanese woman named Michiko, who is clearly infatuated with him. When Snap suggests using her crush to his advantage, RM says that even with all the bad things he’s done over the years, he’d never manipulate anyone who was in love with him for his own gain, especially considering she’s dedicated to her job.]]

** In Episode 228, June is the one to point out that [[spoiler: their mission to get an ancient artifact is being sabotaged by someone, most likely Rudy and Snap]].

** RM is an InsufferableGenius of the highest order and has a sarcastic streak a mile long. In spite of this, he tries to be a good boyfriend to [[VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub Monika]] in "A Little Bit of Monika" (though he fails due to his clingy tendencies, it's the thought that counts), is appalled when Ash and Barney accidentally give the former's grandmother a heart attack, and [[spoiler:refuses to betray a museum worker who has become smitten with him despite being hellbent on his mission for an ancient artifact]].

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar''

* FatIdiot: Ash and Barney.
** BJ.

* HarmlessElectrocution: Ash and his Pikachu, Red and his Pikachu, and RM and his Pachirisu.

* TheSpeechless: Red.
* TheVoiceless: RM's Friend.
** It seems RM thinks of him as a CuteMute, which is just one example of the huge amount of HoYay between them. Interestingly, much of the HoYay seems to be stemming from RM's Friend talking so rarely.

* [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Three Guys]]: Larry, Cilan, and Barbie.

* TurtleIsland: Ash's Torterra, Red's Blastoise, and RM's Torterra.

* GrumpyBear: Several characters count, but [[HairTriggerTemper June]] and [[BigBrotherBully Barney Frank]] are the best examples.

** [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory "Would you like some more tea, Mrs. Nesbit?"]]

** During one of the scenes where the Recess gang are in school, Miss Grotke teaches them about the difference between [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory flying and falling...with style]]. Finding the entire concept ridiculous, she says "Man, this lesson is a load of sh-" and then the bell rings.

** Later on, [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Buzz]] starts dating [[WesternAnimation/{{Recess}} Miss Grotke]], much to her horror.

** In "Pokémon Squad: The Clone Wars", RM makes several clones of himself based on the SevenDeadlySins. {{Wrath}} ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin being wrath]]) is more-or-less June's SpearCounterpart in this regard.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Ash's Torterra and RM's Torterra. Remember, Torterra is a cross between an ankylosaur and a tortoise. Also, RM loves dinosaurs.
** Not always "better," Barney and Baloney make everything worse.
*** Barney Frank, Barney's older brother, sometimes makes things better.

* {{Bishonen}}: RM.
** Ash thinks this of RM's Friend.
*** RM arguably thinks this of him as well.
** James.
** RM's Friend's Twin could be considered this, seeing as how many people might think this of him.

* TooDumbToLive: Ash, the the point that in "Pokémon Squad Goes to Australia", his first instinct when seeing the venomous snakes is to '''''[[UpToEleven play with them]]'''''.

* {{Meganekko}}: Sailor Pikachu

* HollywoodNerd: Max is type one, as is RM. Sailor Pikachu and RM's Friend are arguably between type one and type two. RM's Other Friend also is arguably between type one and type two.

* {{Mockbuster}}: In-universe. ''[[Series/BarneyAndFriends Bernie & Pals]]''.

** Dawn from ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'' doesn't appear anymore, probably because [[TheyKilledKennyAgain she only existed to die repeatedly]]. The same can be said for WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum.

* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: Lampooned mercilessly in the episode "Chalk Justice", where Snap becomes an SJW.

* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Brock's Cousin. His name is Brock's Cousin. And Brock's grandpa is apparently named "Grandpa Harrison."

''Pokémon Squad'' is a fanfic series created by Tropers/RayquazaMaster ("RM"), and his friend, Sailor Pikachu (known as [=MickeyMouse=] here, though she quit at the end of 2010) based on the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime. It focuses on the not-so-typical lives of RM and his friends living in his mansion. Living there are otaku RM's Friend, classic {{Creator/Nickelodeon}} junkie Sailor Pikachu, and all the main humans in Pokemon. Also there are Henry and June of ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'', and ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar''. Later arrivals are Dawn from ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'', RM's Other Friend, RM's Friend's Twin, among others. They live next door to the Yaoi House, which includes WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer, [[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Baloney]], [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Harley]], [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Doug}} Roger Klotz]] and the home's main couple, [[WesternAnimation/ChalkZone Rudy and Snap]]. Other characters such as Doug Funnie, the WesternAnimation/{{Recess}} gang, {{Franchise/Barbie}}, WebVideo/TheAnnoyingOrange, and [[WesternAnimation/KaBlam Loopy and Larry]], are in it too.

Now on 223 episodes and several shorts [[http://s1.zetaboards.com/PokeTown_2/forum/1642912/ located here]], though it can also be found easily on [=RayquazaMaster's=] Website/DeviantArt page.

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Infernape, King Julien, Mort, and Maurice.

* SpiritualSuccessor: ** ''Fanfic/TheLooneyScientistsShow'', a fanfic series on the same site. The episodes are made by Lancelot Niccals (another user on RM's site) and the concept was thought of by her and former co-creator of ''Pokémon Squad'', Sailor Pikachu (which really only started out as a parody of ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'')

%%* ACupAngst: Poor June.

%%** Doug Funnie,

** Cameron the Photographer and Paul the Three-Eyed Monkry are good examples. They appeared frequently in cameos in the Sailor Pikachu-era episodes. After that, they more or less disappeared completely.

** Nutty in more ways than one on the occasions that she dashes up RM's pants.

* TheAce: RM.
* AChildShallLeadThem: Brock when he runs for president of Kanto, although technically he's a teenager.
* ACupAngst: Poor June.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: [[LovableSexManiac Brock]] is implied to masturbate frequently; in the ''WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' parody, he masturbates in the shower while all the adults are away. "Rock Hard" also has a scene where he's about to masturbate to porn [[CaughtWithYourPantsDown until his father walks in]].
* AGoodNameForARockBand: In one episode, RM watches too much ''WebVideo/StupidMarioBrothers'' and decides to start a rock band. What does he name it? Jimmy Rayquaza and the Masters.
* TheAlcoholic: June.

*** It was only confirmed to be his "juice" the first time. Also, June was an alcoholic long before episode 4. According to the real RM and Sailor Pikachu, there are plans for a scene at Alcoholics Anonymous
*** Apparently, Alcoholics Anonymous banned June for life when she attacked the leader of the group for telling the group members to try to go a week without drinking.
** Doug Funnie,

* AllJustADream: Actually several episodes.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}:
** Ash Ketchum ''to the extreme''.
** Mort.
** Obviously, also Barney. And Baloney. And Pachirisu is this when it comes to her crush on RM.

* StockSuperpowers: Just about everyone in a scrapped episode where they get super powers.

* AuthorTract: Episode 228 starts out with a quest to retrieve an ancient artifact from Japan, but [[spoiler: but by Chapter 9, it devolves into little more than a continuous string of {{Take That}}s against Junichi Masuda and his direction of ''Franchise/Pokemon'' from [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY X and Y onward]]]].
