Discussion What if Tari punched Belle out retaliation in Heart to Heart episode?

Post image
25 Upvotes

Like Tari didn't knew Belle intentions when she took away her console with Pocket Gasukei, so assuming that she might hurt her is reasonable and valid. MD-5 is also were worried that Belle would told Derek Lucks, putting them in danger.

So I think Tari is perfectly justified punching Belle.

I think the best combat technique here is "Left Hook", right into Belle's face, especially considering that Tari has Meta Runner arm on left

Discussion What if Tari snapped at Belle similarly to Evelyn in "Hack and Slash"?

Like Tari responded back at Evelyn, when the latter start insulting her, blaming for everything?

I consider Post-redemption Belle and Tari would snap at Belle for antagonizing her and MD-5 during season 1 and early season 2. Do you think it would be "Now we're even" moment for Belle?

Discussion So Should there be Remastered/Remake of Episode One?

Post image

That is my Question

You know Kevin & Luke sure liked to Remastered lots of SMG4 episodes that & seeing a lot fan continuations to Glitch shows most noticeable Murder Drones

That got me thinking what do you think of a Remastered/Remake of the Pilot? How should it be like should it be a one to one just with updated visuals

I think script should have a few updates because we know how the story ends

Maybe make bit longer adding extra senses

I really wanna see it ether by Glitch themselves or as a fan thing as test animation to a fan created season four

But thats me what do you think?

It’s been a while since I’ve done a Tari and Theo image, but here it is.

One day, Tari took Theo to a resort and upon arrival, they walked off a bridge and went into the ocean together. The two friends treaded water together while sharing a smile.

Discussion Why is Meta Runner forgotten into oblivion ?

77 Upvotes

I believe it's already been discussed about, but still, I want to know...

I'm such a huge fan of the show, when the first episode aired I was immediately in love. I was so sad of not being able to purchase the merch and all

When I see new glitch shows, I'm very happy for them, but can't help but feel so sad for meta runner...

And even when they do "collabs" etc, tari is just non existent. When you look at scores, meta runner is literally unknown when you compare to the others.

And while the animation quality is of course not on the same level, the story is deep and touching !

I feel like it all started with the VA drama...

If you guys have more input on this I would love to hear it

(Part 1)

Slide 1: In Pocket Gakusei, Tari and her Floette are focusing on a supposed enemy and then lunging to attack them while saying “Alright! Taaaake… THIIIIIIS!”/“Flo! Flooooo… ETTTTTA!”. However, instead of attacking, they pull out a Psyduck Plush (P.S. hope you like my beautiful editing lol) and a Pollen Puff for Satsuki-Chan and Togekiss respectively with them saying “I hope you like it!”/“Ette Floette!”. Satsuki-Chan and Togekiss both look at their gifts in wonder and then spins around in love with Togekiss happily eating Floette’s Pollen Puff!

Slide 2: Following this, Tari looks through her Meta Runner Vision at Satsuki-Chan and Togekiss’ love gauge which has been significantly filled up now and says with exhaustion “Aghh, please let this be the last one…”. The love gauge then fully fills up to which Tari says “Finally! Why couldn’t Lamar play something less embarrassing?…” in relief. Yukina-Chan then congratulates Tari and Floette with “Great job you too! It seems that Satsuki-Chan and Togekiss’ heads are out of the clouds now so you should be able to talk to them in a Heart-to-Heart way about your feelings and your “Lamar” friend!”. Tari replies back to Yukina-Chan with “Thanks! Let’s give this go”. She then proceeds to spam click past Satsuki-Chan’s dialogue while saying “Ok! Dialogue, dialogue, more dialogue… I can see what you mean with how stuck these two are with their work because this is a whole lot of backstory that I haven’t got the time to know right now”. Following this, Terapagos feels a little down as he looked like he actually wanted to know more about Satsuki-Chan, Togekiss, and their lore.

Slide 3: Tari eventually gets to a multiple choice segment in the conversation with Satsuki-Chan asking if she and her can be romantic partners. Tari thinks for a little bit for the most appropriate answer to which she then says to Satsuki-Chan straight off the script “I’m sorry Satsuki-Chan, but I’m meant to be with someone else.”, and kinda brushes this off. Yukina-Chan then says in a concerned tone “Oh boy…”. Satsuki-Chan and Togekiss then get heartbroken by this and the former begins to cry emotionally while the latter just feels sad for Satsuki-Chan. Tari, Floette, and Terapagos then all try to calm the both of them down with “Oh, nononono, I’m so sorry for that you too!”/“Ett, floflo!”/“Pagya…”. After a short moment after the two of them had a chance to calm down, Satsuki-Chan says “If I can’t have you, then I can at least help make you and Floette happy. What’s the name of your crush, Tari-Chan?”. Tari is caught off guard by this and replies with “Oh! Uh, h-he’s not my crush. H-he’s just, Lamar! I think you might know him, he’s about *this* high, green eyes, braids, talks about cars a lot…”. Satsuki-Chan thinks for a little bit and then laughs along with Togekiss!

Slide 4: The former then pulls out a letter and gives it to Tari. On the letter, it has Lamar’s Pocket Gakusei details scripted onto it! Tari then reads it and says excitedly “Ecchi_Emperor92! How can I forget that one…”. Tari then notices something attached on the back of the letter though. Floette gasps as they all find out it’s a golden coloured stone with a sparkling symbol embedded into it! Yukina-Chan passionately says “Oh my goodness! That’s a Shiny Stone! Satsuki-Chan must’ve given it out as that’s the evolution item that evolved her Togetic into the Togekiss she has now, but it also so happens to be the evolution item that evolves Floette too!”. Tari reacts to this in surprise with “Really?! Satsuki-Chan was kind enough to also benefit my Pokémon as well?” to which Yukina-Chan happily nods. After looking at the Shiny Stone, Floette looks at Satsuki-Chan with tears of joy in her eyes in which Tari notices and asks “So, do you accept this gift? I pretty sure I know the answer!” while holding the Shiny Stone out to Floette. Floette happily floats over to it while saying “Floettta!”. She then hugs the Shiny Stone with her While Flower and begins to glow bright blue! Yukina-Chan and Terapagos both cheer out “Let’s go! Floette’s evolving!”/“Terapago! Pagah!”.

After a short moment, a Pokémon with a graceful air around it basks in its new for and then says with passion “Florrr…ges!”. Tari looks at Floette’s new form and says “Woah… you look so elegant! Flo-?”, to which her Pokédex Vision activates and states:

“Florges, The Garden Pokémon, A Fairy Type, White Flower Florges are capable of syncing with the wavelength of multiple other colours to power up. While usually compassionate, Florges will maliciously hunt and take down anyone who ruins their garden or other significant place, even if the offender begs for their life”.

Slide 5: Upon reading that, Tari reacts with “Geez, that’s elegant AND intense! It goes to show how dedicated you are to protect the passion that you treasure”, in which Florges responds smugly with “Flor flor”. Tari then turns to Yukina-Chan to say “Yukina-Chan, may you lead me to this students classroom”, to which Yukina-Chan kindly responds with “With pleasure!”. Before Tari and her Pokémon made their leave, they all turn around to Satsuki-Chan and Togekiss who are standing idle just like at the start to say “Thank you so much you two! I really appreciate this as does Florges and Terapagos too! They really enjoyed riding on Togekiss’ back whilst she flown through the sky! I’m also sorry that it didn’t work out between us in the end but I will consider joining Team Nova though once we’re all freed up from… everything. Goodbye!”, followed up by Florges and Terapagos wishing them a good onward journey with “Ges, Flora!”/“Pagagoooo!”.

Tari, Yukina-Chan, and the Pokémon all arrive to the entrance to Lamar’s room and enter it. Tari looks around and says “Yep! This is Lamar’s room alright!”, and then turns to Yukina-Chan to say “I think we’ll be alright from here Yukina-Chan. Thank you so much for all of your help! From meeting us when we first joined, from me catching Petilil, to meeting and experiencing dating for the first time, to Floette evolving, everything! To put in a word, it was, different”. Yukina-Chan wholeheartedly replies back with “No problem Tari-Chan it was nice to experience all of that too!”.

Yukina-Chan then remembers something and says “Oh! But I almost forgot! Here, take this! Your very own Z-Ring to use that Fairy Type Z-Move from that Fairium Z that I gave to you at the start!”. Yukina-Chan then hands the custom-made Z-Ring to Tari to which the latter replies with “Oh thank you! This looks very fitting for me!”. Yukina-Chan responds with “Yep! I actually handcrafted that Z Ring while you and your Pokémon were on your date with Satsuki-Chan and Togekiss! To use the Fairy Type Z Move, you have to embrace your inner fairy into preforming a cutesy pose with Florges!”. Upon hearing this, Tari says “Is that so, well I remember Satsuki-Chan pulling a pose that I think would work for it so we’ll give it a swing when the time comes, and I can also help you out with your “18 Z Moves from Memory” masterpiece that you’re working on!”. Yukina-Chan happily replies “That would be amazing but I’ll let you and your sweet Pokémon go now! Bye bye!”. With Tari and her Pokémon now in Lamar’s classroom feeling ready then ever, the former goes to the front of the class and sends a friend request to Lamar in the physical world!

Slide 6: Meanwhile in Masa’s apartment, Sofia and Terrin are helping each other to build Masa’s new Meta Runner Arm with them saying “And just about… done!”/“There we go! I still need to implement the Terastallization and Mega Evolution options into it but that should take no time at all, especially with the former!”. Masa gets a feel for his new arm while Lamar reacts to it while saying “Looking good man! Just wait till we dress it up a little. Y’know, new paint job, custom plating, oh! Maybe slap some decals on it!”. Masa replies to Lamar with “Let’s just get to business. Sofia, what’s our intel so far?”.

Before Sofia got to speak, Lamar’s phone suddenly goes off with a notification tone saying in a cheery anime voice “Pocket Gakusei!~”. Lamar apologies for this with “Sorry! That was me. Continue”. Sofia then boots up a promo advert and elaborates with “So, Lucks has organised a big showmatch in 10 days to publicise Tari’s promotion to TASCorp’s main lineup”. Masa immediately makes a point on this by saying “Then that should be our target.”, followed up by Terrin saying “Woah, my bluejay’s really had a makeover with that new look of confidence and outfit. Regardless, Masa’s right”. Masa continues on with “It’s impossible to safeguard an event that big from every vulnerability. So,-“, only to be cut off by Lamar’s Pocket Gakusei notification tone again.

Slide 7: Lamar then says to everyone “My game’s probably just updating.”, but the notification tone keeps on consecutively activating. Terrin then says in a slightly annoyed tone “God, what’s with this place and interruptions? First that neighbour, now this…”. In Pocket Gakusei, Tari is desperately pressing the “Add Friend” button while saying “Come on Lamar! Pick up!”. Masa tries to share his plan on the operation but is having a really hard time to explain with Lamar’s phone alerts constantly going off to the point that he says in frustration “Will you just answer that already?!”. Lamar eventually says “Alright! Chill, chill…. I’ll put it on silent”. Lamar then opens up Pocket Gakusei on his phone and says in shock “HUH?!”

Slide 8: In Pocket Gakusei, Lamar shows up on the main board of the class to Tari, Terapagos, and Florges’ relief with all of them saying happily “Lamar! Yes! Oh, we’re so happy to see you again!”/“TERAPAGYA!”/“FLORGE GES GES!”. However, Lamar just looks at the three of them in confusion in which Tari asks “Is, something wrong?”. Lamar replies while feeling flustered with “N-nah nah! You just uh, you, you all look good!”. Tari then replies with “Oh! Uh… thanks!”. Sofia then hears all this and says “Is that? Tari? *Gasp* TAAARRRIIII!”, and then proceeds to lodge the phone on an angle for a better view at them. Tari then reacts to Sofia with “Sofia! Oh, I’m so glad to see you too!”.

Slide 9: Meanwhile, Terrin was still trying to ignore the commotion from earlier that he hasn’t realised that Tari and former Terapagos are on the phone! He snaps out of it with “Wait…what? Tari?!” and quickly moves over to where Lamar and Sofia are to get into frame. Terapagos then sees Terrin for the first time in six months and becomes ecstatic while jumping up and down shouting out “TERAPAPAGOS! TERRRAAAAAA!!!!!”. Terrin’s face turns slightly pale as he sees her daughter and his former Terapagos on the screen along with Tari’s Florges and says in a very faint tone “N-no way…”. Tari then says Terrin in a warm voice “Hey Dad, hope you’ve been doing alright after these months. Me and Terapagos missed you a lot after everything that has happened back then”.

Terrin face and personality begins to genuinely mellow out for the first time in a long time as he starts to tear up a bit while saying “I… I think that’s… the first time you called me “Dad” since… *sniff* before everything, not that you knew I was your Dad back then. D-don’t worry about me Angel. I was more worried about you and Terapagos! Having my amnesia break just as I found out you were my daughter back then just to be gone immediately after that…. *Sniff* But, at least I finally get to see what my daughter and Terapagos have grown up to be, like your Florges who was just a newly evolved Floette back then at the arena. (*chuckles*) But of all the places to meet again, a dating sim of all places? Seriously?… I-I missed you so much, really…”. Tari feels warm inside and says “Me and Terapagos feel the same. Floette just evolved into Florges actually now that you mentioned it. Although, I don’t remember you having your hair flowing down like that and being more yellow before all of this”. Terrin laughs a little bit and replies with “Yeah, as I started to get my memories back, I felt like I wanted to change myself a bit to feel like I have changed for the better. I was a shell of my former self six months ago but now I’m running my way back up. Especially since I have learnt a few things about Project: Meta-Stellar Genesis and other things too, but we’ll save that for a bit”. Sofia then says “Oh Terrin… Tari…. We’ve all changed in our own ways but we also were just talking about how we’re totally going to mess up Lucks bust you and your Pokémon out of TASCorp and-“.

All of a sudden, Sofia stops what she was saying due to Masa coming into frame with a serious demeanour. Tari and Terapagos notice this and both say worriedly “Hi Masa”/“Pago”, in which Masa replies with “Tari… Terapagos…”. Tari then continues on with “Masa, I… I don’t know what to say…. We’re sorry about the way we left things back at the arena. I know you have a lot of questions and I’m being honest when I say so do I and just wanna-“, to which Masa cuts her off to say in a calm tone “It’s ok Tari. We can sort all that out after you, Terapagos, and the others are safe ok?”, in which Tari and Terapagos reply with “Ok…”/“Pag…”. Lamar notices that the atmosphere is quite emotional so he says to everyone “H-hey! What are we doing standing around like this? We’re probably making Tari and her Pokémon uncomfortable! Am I right Rin?”, in which Terrin replies with “Oh uh, yeah. What do you have in mind for what we should do then?”. Lamar smugly replies with “Well, check this out”.

Slide 10: Lamar then proceeds to activate a face scanner for Pocket Gakusei from his Meta Runner Arm. After a few moments of his face being scanned, Lamar suddenly walks through the classroom door in-game to Tari and the Pokémon to say passionately “Kon'nichiwa Tari-Chan!” and then strikes a flamboyant pose next to his in-game details! Tari and Terapagos react in amazement, saying “You look amazing!”/“Pagoo!…”, to which Lamar replies with “Well, I better. You know how many loot boxes I had to open to get this costume?”. In the physical world, Lamar then encourages everyone else with “Come on guys! Join in!” and reaches for his bag where he pulls out three spare phones. Masa is thrown off by Lamar having spare phones casually with him in which the latter replies seriously with “Hey! It’s my calling as a proud otaku to share the joy of anime and waifus with the whole world”. While Sofia happily begins to scan her face, Terrin watches and says “It’s been forever since I played a game and dating sim wasn’t the genre I was expecting to play next. Definitely not my type of game but I’m keen to try it out!”. Terrin then scans his face in too. After seeing the others doing it, Masa reluctantly joins in as well.

Slide 11: After a brief moment, Sofia walks into the Lamar’s classroom to say in a teasing tone “Sorry I’m late to class~” with her username being “GENKIBUNNY3”. Terrin then enters the classroom next while saying “I feel like I’ve just graduated while wearing this. I like to think I’m like my however-times-Great Grandfather Heath with this outfit on, I dig it!”, with his username being “VIKARIN738”. Lastly, Masa with a gloomy expression walks in with his username simply being “MASA6”. He then says in a disgruntled tone “I’m glad Terrin thinks he looks like his Grandfather in a good way because I feel the exact opposite…”. Tari then lightens his mood by saying “Well, I think you look great!”, to which Masa replies with “Thanks. Let’s stop wasting time and get down to business. Tari, we’re going to get you out in your upcoming showmatch. So we need to know as much about it as you can tell us”. Tari and Terapagos confidently replies with “Ok, here’s what I know!”/“Pagopag!”.

Slide 12: Meanwhile at TASCorp, Belle and Armarouge have just got back to their room with the secret Project: Meta-Stellar Genesis file that Theo and Ogerpon helped to retrieve. Belle sits down in her gaming chair and then glances over to a picture of her and Lucinia on the wall with a conflicted look with Armarouge. Belle then says out loud “Agh, don’t look at us like that. Coconut Boy and the Ogre will be fine! They did this for you”. Belle then prepares to play the clip on the file after hesitating for a bit. She looks over to Armarouge as Armarouge does the same to Belle and then she plays it. Sirens are going off in a lab with a few TASCorp Agents/Scientists investigating along with Lucks being present as well. Lucks then calls out “Sheridan?… Coward”. He then orders the others in the room “Search the lab. I want to know what they were doing here”.

Slide 13: Lucks then notices a strange logo of sorts on a monitor resembling Tari’s Crest Logo with a D-Pad and Shoulder Buttons embedded in it. It’s also surrounded by two coloured streams, one being Blue and Yellow, and the other being Black and Lime Green. These streams also have trails flowing from the Crest to two other Symbols, being the Terastal Logo above, and the Mega Evolution Logo below. Lucks seems confused by this as he reads text just below the logo with him saying “What?: “PROJECT: META-STELLAR GENESIS: SYNTHETIC META FORMS”? Wait, there’s more? It seems censored out though: “B__E_AY M_T_-ST_LL_R _ORE”?”. Lucks then looks over to see another thing on the monitor, this time it’s a very scuffed outline of a silhouette of a figure with wings levitating under a dome with sparkles orbiting around it!

Lucks then looks over to a TASCorp Scientist looking down in shock towards smoke, he asks “What is it?”. He then walks closer and looks down too. He then reacts in shock too and says “What has he done to you two?… *sigh* *sigh* RRRRRRAGH!”. Lucks manages to get his composure back together and then orders the others “Recover what you can. Search the cameras and the footage. Maybe something good can still come of this mess…”. He then speaks to his earpiece to say “I need a medical team down here, I found what’s happened to Lucinia and Zayla”.

Slide 14: As the clip ends, Belle and Armarouge look down in complete shock. Belle then says with increasing anger “He knew. HE ALWAYS KNEW! GAAAARGH!”, followed up by Armarouge feeling and saying the exact same with “Arma… ARRRRMARRRRGH!”. Belle then continues on with “He’s been hiding what has happened to Lucinia and Zayla for that matter for TWO YEARS! THAT LYING, MANIPULATIVE PIECE OF-!”. Belle then stops to look at the picture on the wall again to say “You’re not going to be tossed to the side like this. I won’t let him. I swear it. Let’s go Armarouge.”, followed up by Armarouge in frustration saying “Rragh… Arma… rragh…”. The both of them then proceed to walk out of their room in seriousness to go somewhere, not before the Zygarde Cell appearing for a couple of seconds on Belle’s shoulder, looking at the picture of Belle and Lucinia…

That is my Question

With Glitch partnership with Oni Press with the Murder Drones comic adaptation got me thinking what do you thinking what a Meta Runner: Source got me thinking

Personally I like it to be set after the final episode or stuff that happened between seasons one & two because there a decent gap between the two

If set up after the final episode probably be a pilot for an ongoing comic probably telling how Tari return to her physical body or something like a big mystery behind it something like that though that can be a completely Meta Runner #0 or #1 just thinking about it

But thats me what are your Ideas?

Of course there are games the mix & combine genres flesh them out & everything like that so yeah there a bunch of games there are in a weird middle between the two

But I get the feeling Tari would like the classic Mario RPG or something like that specially because of Theo

Then few months after she got her own car how do you imagine it being like exactly?

I imagine it being blue like her & being high speed but she doesn't use it much outside of needing to you know specially when there like a new bad guy around coming here or there

It probably have duck bobble head in the dashboard or something like that would be hilarious & cool to see

Discussion Brainstorming a Meta Runner S1 Musical?

27 Upvotes

Hey y'all! I've had this idea for years, but I'm going to actually try giving it a shot and flex my creative muscles. I recently rewatched Meta Runner and my idea to write a musical based on the series came flooding back, specifically Season 1, as I feel it lends itself to the format the best out of the 3 seasons.

The idea is it'd be a 1-act stage musical (~60-75 minutes in length), with around 8-10 songs. I was wondering what y'all thought are *the* big moments of the first season that should have a song (or would lend to a fun musical number). This is my current outline:

  1. Video Games Are Everything: Sheridan's opening monologue turned opening number, likely with asides/verses from other characters as a big ensemble number (excluding Tari). If you've seen StarKid's "The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals", I imagine it similar in structure (not genre) to that show's opening number.

  2. Ultra Jump Mania: Following Tari's first time warping, Theo teaches her the ins and outs of Simpleflip Island. They overcome obstacles, exploit faulty collisions, and fight off enemies, and Tari starts learning to use her Meta Runner vision. The song ends abruptly when the TASCorp scientists start experimenting on Tari's Meta Runner arm.

  3. Escaping TASCorp: Tari and Theo flee, and Lamar helps them escape to MD-5. Would end with the infamous "I want her" line from Lucks.

(I'm not sure how to do this, as I want to change it from a car chase as that'd be strange to stage, but still have it feel action-y and allow Tari to utilize her Meta Runner vision to aid the escape.)

  1. MD-5 Induction: Tari and Theo learn about MD-5's motive to take down TASCorp. Sofia and Lamar are keen to have them join, Masa not so much. Masa begins testing Tari's skills as part of the induction.

(Highkey tempted to change the game from Battle Blaze, as I feel like it's too serious to fit the vibe of a musical? I've been thinking maybe it'd be a DDR/Just Dance parody? Would make for a good dance number, and an excuse to have Masa absolutely tear up the dance floor.)

  1. Tempest Clip Practice: Tari keeps throwing herself at the Tempest Clip over and over, determined to get it. Through Masa and Theo's words of encouragement, she finds herself able to clear her mind and focus on the clip. Time slows around her as we hear her internal monologue (in song ofc). Similar to Quiet from "Matilda the Musical"

  2. Project Blue: Belle finds the files on Project Blue from the lab's remnants, including the footage of the lab's explosion and connects it to Lucinia's disappearance.

  3. Tempest Clip Reprise: With just Belle and Tari left, Tari attempts the clip while Belle tries to sabotage her by attacking her mid-air. A more intense version of the clip practice song, with Belle and Tari going back and forth. Similar to Crossing the Line from "Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure"

  4. MD-5 loses: Final scene from Season 1, the cornering of MD-5, Masa losing his arm, Sofia handing over the server download to be wiped, Belle revealing Lucinia "died" in the lab explosion and that Tari was involved (due to her supposed involvement in Project Blue), TASCorp reveals they've used Theo as a spy, Tari strikes a deal with TASCorp (free MD-5 & she'll work as a runner at TASCorp), Theo gets held as collateral and is erased from the real world, MD-5 go free and Tari works for TASCorp.

Some filler song ideas I like:

Lamar sings about being a proud Otaku

Belle/Lucinia love song

Lucks and Masa talk about his days at TASCorp (Golden Boy)

Elder Tomato sings a ballad about UJM lore. Similar to The Ballad of Flemmingrad from "Olaf's Frozen Adventure" (crazy pull, even for me)

Idk, I was just curious if y'all had any ideas! I'm open to any and all suggestions/feedback! This is just a fun creative exercise, but I wanted to set realistic limitations as a means to breed creativity.

Would be hilarious if winning got to her went something out of a Mashed video also imagine if Mashed did Meta Runner video by the way

(Part 2)

(I’m quite busy these next couple of months so expect the following chapters to come out later than usual)

Slide 1: Back in Pocket Gakusei; Tari, and her Terapagos and Floette, along with Yukina-Chan are actively attempting to find Lamar’s Classroom for contact with Tari and her Pokémon searching in every classroom whilst Yukina-Chan is trying to search on the Gakusei University’s Database for any leads. Tari with her Pokémon enter one of the classrooms whilst asking out “Lamar?/Paga?/Flo?”, only to find out it’s a different player’s room with the latter reacting with “Aw yeah, check it! We got a new classmate! Can we get some RNG love in the chat for us?”, with Tari reacting with “Sorry! Wrong door”. They all go to another room to check but again it’s another player’s room whilst he reacts in a more casual tone with “Who’s this? Awwww, I wanted to get Mistuki-Chan….”, until a different voice in the background says “Jeremy! Put down your cartoon gorls and come to dinner!”, with Jeremy responding in annoyance with “It’s called ANIME, Mom…”. Tari reacts in embarrassment while Terapagos saying in a depleted tone “Terapag…”.

Slide 2: All of them check another room after that but this time, the player is speaking in a very creepy tone, saying “Ohh wHat’s THiS? AnOtHEr suPEr KAwaIi pAIr FOr my STuDy groUp?”. Tari and Terapagos both look at this player in genuine worry and concern for their safety while Floette is already out of the room. Tari quickly shuts the door to bring herself and Terapagos away from that player. Yukina-Chan then asks Tari with concern “Is everything alright Tari-Chan? Were you just shy of that one?”. Tari replies “Yeah… I guess you could say that”. Tari then gets an idea and says to everyone “Ok! How about this? If I’m gonna find Lamar, I just need to think like Lamar *Sigh*”. Tari then begins to “act” like Lamar by acting casually and smugly while saying “Yo guys what’s up? Lamar here! I love my car, and my anime, and my body pillows…”. Everyone else is eating Tari’s Lamar impression up happily with Terapagos and Floette cheering with “Tera! Paga! Tera! PAGA!”/“Flo lo ETTA!”, followed up by Yukina-Chan reacting in amazement with “Woah! Tari-Chan must know this Lamar student well seeing as she’s acting so confidently, that’s so inspiring!”.

Slide 3: Whilst acting, Tari suddenly gets a memory from when she was with MD-5 while speaking with Lamar back then where he said “Satsuki-Chan and Togekiss here are my side chicks. I’m a bit of a player, ya know what I’m sayin”. Tari then says out loud “Satsuki-Chan and Togekiss!”, and then turns to Yukina-Chan to say “Alright Yukina-Chan, I thought of something that could help us!”. Yukina-Chan replies in interest with “Oh great, hit me with it!”. Tari continues on with “Alright, my friend Lamar loves an anim-, I mean student pairing called Satsuki-Chan with her partner Togekiss. They wouldn’t happen to be in this school would they?”. Upon hearing the names, Yukina-Chan perks up and says “Huh?! Yes they are actually but I’m surprised that you know of them as the two of them are here for only a month as a guest speaker of sorts from a very prestigious sector! I’m actually friends with her too but I’ll call her so I can elaborate more!”.

Satsuki-Chan and Togekiss then spawn in front of all of them with a pleasant look on both their faces. Terapagos and Floette happily exclaim to greet the two of them and then Yukina-Chan continues on with “Satsuki-Chan is actually the leader of a space exploration team called Team Nova. It’s a very small team but I’m actually an honorary member of it but I don’t usually have the time to go on her missions as I’m typically caught up with studies here. Another thing about the team is that we all specialise in one Type each with me focusing on Ice Types with Koolippo and the rest of my team, Satsuki-Chan specialises in Fairy Types, and I know that another member specialises in Flying Types. But that’s just the general gist of it all. I wonder if your friend Lamar is part of the team too?”. Tari reacts to all of this with “It’s hard to say but seeing how much he loved Satsuki-Chan back then, it wouldn’t surprise me. Team Nova sounds like it’s a cool team but I’m just planning on meeting the two of them here for now”.

Slide 4: Tari then begins to talk to Satsuki-Chan and Togekiss with “Hi Satsuki-Chan, and you too Togekiss! You don’t know me and my Pokémon, but I’m pretty sure you know my friend”. The both of them look blankly at Tari whilst Tari carries on with “I really need to speak to him and I was hoping if you two can help me find him?”, to which Satsuki-Chan and Togekiss are still looking blankly at Tari. This concerns Tari and her Pokémon with the former asking “Hello?”. Yukina-Chan then seemingly remembers something and tells Tari and her Pokémon “Oh yeah! Err, you know how I told you that the two of them are very occupied and prestigious? Well, all of that weight causes them to occasionally have their heads in clouds, even in social situations. However, the two of them typically snap back into reality if they are interacted in a bonding-type setting”.

Tari’s Meta Runner Vision activates and displays a depleted gauge. She then asks Yukina-Chan “Alright well, what do you suggest me and my team should do in this bonding exercise of sorts?”. Yukina-Chan then passionately and animately replies with “Well, you did enroll at Gakusei University here in Jubilife City, “The City of Joy”. You should take them both on a date to express all of that joy!”. Tari reacts in slight surprise and responds reluctantly with “Oh boy…”.

Slide 5: Back at TASCorp, Lucks and his Lucks enters the room that the TASCorp Scientists have been monitoring Theo and Ogerpon. They both walk up to a couple of the scientists for Lucks to sternly ask “Where are they?”. One of the scientists brings up a page on the giant monitor that displays a file page. Lucks reacts in slight confusion and asks “What are they looking for there?” while the highlighter automatically scrolls and taps into each folder. Lucks then orders one of the scientists “Run the quarantine program in my private server”.

Slide 6: Within the server, Theo and Ogerpon are carefully looking through a bunch of files loaded in crates with the former saying “Let’s see, Inkay Records… nope! Clawitzer Launcher Blueprints… don’t know what that is. Ducklett Photos? Who’s been downloading all these?”, followed by the latter saying in a disgruntled and confused tone “Grah ponio?”. On the outside, Belle and Armarouge’s patience is wearing away slightly with the two of them saying “Taking your sweet time you too…”/“Rouge raaa…”. Theo responds back strictly with “Hey, calm down! Investigation is a delicate process.”, and then immediately follows up under his mouth with “Who am I kidding no it’s not. Ogerpon, let’s smash it open”. Ogerpon, just as bored as Theo, agrees as both of them smash the file crates into pieces.

Slide 7: Whilst looking at the mess that he and Ogerpon just caused, Theo then says “Boy, who knew companies would have so much data. We don’t even know where to look”. Suddenly, Green and Purple data particles flow behind Theo and Ogerpon and they both react with “Huh, who’s there?!”/“Pon?!”. Both particles streams flow around the two of them for a little bit until they stop at a certain file. Suspecting that they found something, Belle and Armarouge both ask “You find something?”/“Rou ragh?”. Theo then grabs the specific file and says “Maybe…. It says: “PROJECT: META-STELLAR GENESIS_CLEANUP_LUCINIA_&_ZAYLA”? Hold on, did Terrin say months ago that Zayla is Tari’s Mom?”. At that moment, the transparent Zygarde Cell that’s been with Belle for a while now becomes more clearer as it eyes the screen on Belle’s shoulder. Upon hearing the file name, both Belle and Armarouge react in surprise with “Lucinia… and Zayla? Yes, that’s right! That’s the file! You two, get that file!”/“Raa…. Ra Rouge! Armara!”. Theo responds to this casually with “No problemo!” and tosses it up in the air to begin the upload!

Slide 8: Theo then dusts off his hands while saying to Ogerpon “There! That wasn’t so hard, right Ogerpon?”, with Ogerpon celebrating with “Ponyo pa!”. All of a sudden, the two of them hear an alarm and look around to see the quarantine bots coming towards Theo and Ogerpon to capture them! The two of them react in annoyance and both look back up at the file upload which is still loading, albeit slowly. Theo then calls out to Belle and Armarouge with “Hey we got a problem here!”. Belle assertively responds back with “You got to protect that upload you two, that’s your end of the bargain!”. Theo and Ogerpon reluctantly agrees and say whilst preparing to fight the bots “We’re ready for you this time!”/“Grah PONYA!”. One of the bots lunges towards Theo who dodges and then throws his coconut to destroy that bot!

Slide 9: Whilst Theo is waiting for his coconut to boomerang back towards him, one of the other bots attempts to lunge at Theo and Ogerpon but the former ducks to avoid it just in time and then quickly calls over to Ogerpon “Quick! Use Spiky Shield!”. Ogerpon quickly deploys several sharp foliage spikes in front of her to shield against the bot whilst also damaging it with the Spiky Shield! Theo’s coconut then successfully returns back to him just in time for it to be used to shield against the other bot! The impact of that bot’s push causes Theo to become dazed which gives one of the bots the chance to grab onto Theo and begin to pull him away! Ogerpon attempts to use Ivy Cudgel on the bot but the bot is too far out of reach.

Slide 10: Theo is struggling to attack the bot with his coconut but then remembers a strategy that he and Ogerpon used before! Theo then shouts down to Ogerpon with “Ogerpon, on the count to three, throw your Ivy Cudgel at the bot!”. Ogerpon affirms whilst Theo throws his coconut down and the counts to three for his coconut to return back and also for Ogerpon’s attack. The coconut and the Ivy Cudgel both land a clean hit on the bot, not before Theo impressively swinging out of the way of the impact explosion! Theo then falls back down to the ground and lands on the last bot on the way down. Theo lands back on the ground but then the bot that he just fell on falls onto Theo which hurts him a bit.

Slide 11: Back in the monitoring room, Lucks sees that the quarantine bots were unsuccessful and then orders one of the scientists “Keep running the quarantine, devote any auxiliary system processing power to this”. In the server, Theo and Ogerpon wearily look back at the file upload that’s made barely any progress and then notice a whole swarm of the quarantine bots coming towards them as per Lucks’ command! This frustrates Theo and Ogerpon even more with the former worriedly saying to Belle and Armarouge on the outside “Hey, shouty duo? We’re not sure if we can handle this many!”. Belle then grabs the controller on the desk and responds back confidently with “Well, hold onto your coconut and cudgel you two, because me and Armarouge can!”.

Belle then puts in rapid commands into the controller to make Theo pulls his coconut out and back quickly with Theo asking “Is this another weird glitch?”, to which Belle replies in annoyance from Theo’s ignorance “Kid, what do you think we do for a living? Just sit back and enjoy the ride!”. Belle then manages to clone Theo’s coconut from the rapid inputs in which Theo says in amazement “Two. COCONUTS?!”. Belle doesn’t stop there, she continues to clone more and more of Theo’s coconuts with Theo and Ogerpon enjoying every bit of it! Theo says whilst laughing maniacally “Hahaha! It’s like my coconut is using Double Team!”.

Slide 12: After Belle has cloned several of Theo’s coconuts, the latter then says in an overwhelmed tone “This… this is too much power…”, to which Belle says back to Theo after activating her Meta Runner Arm to pull up Theo’s capabilities “You ain’t seen nothing yet kid” and then has Theo send out most of the coconuts at the quarantine bot hoard and then jump on a few others to destroy them! One of the bots targets Ogerpon but is damaged by Ogerpon using Spiky Shield again just in time and then destroyed completely by Ogerpon’s Ivy Cudgel right after! Theo then rounds up all of the coconuts that have been thrown out and are placed on Theo’s back, Theo reacts to this by jokingly saying “Hey, I’m like Terapagos with his huge shell in that sparkly form! I’m Terapatheo!”.

Slide 13: Theo then aims at the rest of the quarantine bot hoard by using his arm length to help Belle out. Belle then says to both him and Ogerpon “Hey you two, which this.” and proceeds to send out a load of the coconuts up at a 45 degree angle, completely away from the bots! This confuses Theo and Ogerpon into saying “Err, I think you missed”/“Grah pon! Grah ya!”. Belle, along with Armarouge, both reply smugly with “Ohh, did I?”/“Armaraha!”. The coconuts that have been thrown out then proceed to fly in a cyclone motion around Theo and Ogerpon which completely amazes them! The coconut cyclone begins to destroy every bot that comes near it! Belle then calls over to Ogerpon and Armarouge to say “Hey Ogerpon! No need for you to sit out in this! Use Ivy Cudgel and Spiky Shield at the same time and go nuts on them! *To Armarouge* Hey bud, when you see an opening, use Expanding Force on the bots too!”. Both Pokémon do exactly that with Theo saying excitedly “This is AWESOME! All the fun of killing without barely any effort!”.

Slide 14: Two of the bots attempt to catch Theo and Ogerpon within the cyclone but one of them is destroyed. The other bot reacts to this by attempting to infiltrate by flying above and then into the cyclone instead! Belle and Armarouge notices this and the former says “Ohhh no you don’t!” and then has Theo ascend by using his coconuts as footstools! Armarouge then calls over to Ogerpon to prompt her to follow suit with “Raghrouge!”. Ogerpon hears this and begins to pogo on her Ivy Cudgel to bounce up to Theo’s height! The two of them manages to get to the bots level and destroys it with a strong combined attack of Theo’s coconut and Ogerpon’s Ivy Cudgel! The two of them both land back on the ground with the former saying with vigor “You may take our files, but you’ll never take our FREEDOM!”, followed up by the latter yelling out triumphantly!

Slide 15: Theo and Ogerpon both turn around to hear the file upload pinged from being fully up loaded and say casually “Oh hey the file’s done”/“Pon pon”. Belle reacts with increasing joy while saying “I got it… I GOT IT!”, but then suddenly gasps as she might’ve blown her cover from shouting! She quickly turns to Armarouge to say “Bud! Return now!”, to which Armarouge is caught off guard by but is returned back to its Ultra Ball. A passing TASCorp Agent heard Belle’s yelling and cautiously begins to search the room to see what that was about. The Agent then goes to the monitor to hear Theo and Ogerpon saying with passion “Alright! Let’s get the rest of them!…. Shouty duo? Hello?”/“Grah ponya?… PON PON?!”.

Slide 16: The agent then begins to dial up the rest of security while Belle comes out of a cardboard box that she was hiding under. Belle looks over at the monitor and sighs in a conflicted tone and then looks towards the exit. In the server, the rest of the quarantine bot hoard are closing in on Theo and Ogerpon with the two of them in concern with the former asking “Hey, you still there?! We really need some help!”. However, Belle proceeds to escape out of the abandoned lab to safety! Theo and Ogerpon attempt to fight the bots but struggle significantly without the power and skill difference from Belle and Armarouge’s help! The two of them eventually get knocked down and are too tired to carry on fighting!

Slide 17: Belle successfully escapes back into the hallway with the Project: Meta-Stellar Genesis File uploaded into her Arm. She then sends Armarouge back out with Armarouge feeling bad for leaving Theo and Ogerpon but Belle says to it “I know we shouldn’t have dipped but it was my fault for yelling. They did the job though”. Belle then turns back to the room and says “Sorry you two…” and then goes back to her room along with Armarouge. Lucks sees that the quarantine program was successful this time and one of the bots attempts to drop Theo and Ogerpon back into the confinement box but he then says “Wait, the containment server won’t hold them. Clearly the reason our guests keep on running away is because we haven’t made them feel quite at home.” and then turns back to the scientists with a sinister look and continues on with “Let’s remedy that”. One of the scientists then activates a function on the giant monitor whilst Lucks stands smartly and Luxray watches cautiously…

Slide 18: Theo and Ogerpon begin to wake up with the former jumping up saying “Shouty duo!”. However, the two of them looks around at their surroundings and are on… SimpleFlip Island?! Theo and Ogerpon react to this with “We’re home? We’re home!”/“Ponio? Poniopa!”. They then jump up in celebration but when they land back on the ground, both of their models glitch partially into the sand with the universe stuttering! Theo then says “Well… that’s… different…” and tries to jump out of the sand but glitches even more with Ogerpon being the same! Theo then resorts to talking to the Elder Tomato by saying “Hey, Elder Tomato? What’s going o-o-on?”. The Elder Tomato replies with his typical in-game advice but this time it’s more jumbled up along with the Elder Tomato glitching heavily and eventually slipping out of Theo’s hands and then despawning himself. All of a sudden, several glitchy and erratic Facepalm and a giant warped Alolan Exeggutor comes out from the ground! Theo and Ogerpon attempt to fight back but both their attacks are ineffective! Theo and Ogerpon yell out in complete horror “WHAT’S HAPPENING?!”/“GRAH PONYAAAAAAGH?!”.

Slide 19: Theo and Ogerpon then spots a Weepinbell trying to defend itself against a glitched out Crabrawler! The former shouts over to it “Hey! It’s y-you fr-ooo-m forever-er-r ago!”, but the frenzied glitched out Facepalms and Alolan Exeggutor close in on Theo and Ogerpon with them screaming in horror! Back at TASCorp, Lucks watches the chaos unfold on the giant monitor after seeing the glitched out UJM cartridge inserted. He smirks and then walks to exit, not before Luxray watching the chaos too but in a much more serious and concerned way…
