February 13th
Our troupe came upon a strange creature,
Colors and edges were its most charming feature.
We asked the man at the door,
And he said, looking bored:
I was told to keep away this strange screecher.
All except our Researcher, Ricky,
Went toward the south side of the City.
We went to the hospital
For our Breeder’s great fall.
But he talked about his bullet wound too quickly.
While our motley crew was there,
Travis had a syringe he wanted out of his hair.
He showed the attendant,
Attempting to be independent,
And then they directed us elsewhere.
The Researcher scoured Darven,
Seeking knowledge the city had part in.
Bumbling about the city,
Wandering ‘round like a lost Skitty,
He was back ‘fore the sky could darken.
The rest of us headed to AerisWen RX,
Hoping they could tell us the syringe’s effects.
The employees explained to us,
It could be used to subdue us,
And disposed of it before we knew what came next.

I can ride my Stantler over ledges, over ledges, over ledges.
Look at me, Look at me, catching ‘em all is my destiny, [the best], and I’m a Pokémon Master, even when the path gets all crooked-y.
I can show you coordination, I can show you the Pokémon Nation. I can take away your strategy when I shudder with anticipation.
I can make loops with a capture styler, I can tell you about how water beats fire. It is this thing called super effective, and the damage has times two multiplier.
Me and my friends went on a journey.
Me and my friend placed in a tourney.
And guess how hard it was, I can do anything I want, ‘cause look.
Shuckle’s max damage, ice ball, metronome. Max Metronome. Max Metronome.
And I can see your face on a telephone. On a telephone. On a telephone.
Look at me, Look at me, very best is what I want to be, [the champ], of the whole region, I’ll catch them all; you just wait and see.
I can make money opening up PokéMarts, I can make money off Pay Day PP, Debut my work in Castelia art, with this money build a villainous team.
I can make a new type of potion. In the tall grass I can cause huge commotion to capture, the rarest wild Pokémon, From the Sinnoh region across the Ocean.
Aqua, Magma, Gal and Flare, Skull, Plasma, Rocket, already been there, I see them knocked out across the region, you won’t even overcome my resistance.
Cause I can lead the nation like a champion, like a champion, like a champion.
And I can steal a Pokémon from a Pokéball, from a Pokéball, from a Pokéball.
Look at me, Look at me, riding up to the top.
Officer Jenny is just a terrible cop.
My team of legend,
The elite are gone.
I’ve come, to the end.
The champion, is wrong.
I can call a Pokémon you’ve never seen,
Older and stronger than the ultimate machine,
Destroy the whole region just to hear the screams,
Don’t even bother to observe for me
I can rush somebody out of prison just because you will fight them
And I can do anything with no resistance, I have the universe in my hand
Because I can shut the region down by satellite – by satellite – by a satellite
And I can hit a target through a telescope – through a telescope – through a telescope
And we can watch it burn in the atmosphere – in the atmosphere – in the atmosphere, burn the atmosphere, burn the atmosphere, burn the atmosphere…
I can ride my Stantler over ledges, over ledges, over ledges.
I can ride my Stantler over ledges, over ledges, over ledges.
