Switching to another screen in the staff room, Rambley gestures toward a door. "And here w-we have my very own maintenance room! This is where the staff go to make sure my systems are in ti-ti-tip top shape!"

"Oh, is that why you're stuttering all the time? Because you need maintenance?"

"Uh oh, have I be-been stuttering?"

"Yeah. Actually, it's been getting worse lately."

"Oh dear. I guess 8 years is a lot of time for junk data to build up. No wonder I've been having trouble storing all these fun memor-ories we've made! Well buddy, looks like I've got an exciting new Rambley-Venture for you: Rambley's Regular Maintenance!"

"Are you sure? I mean, I'm good with computers, but-"

"Don't worry about that, I'm not even au-authorized to let you use the advanced maintenance program. You'll just do it intern-style! Head on in and take the door on your left!"

I step inside. The room is filled with computer screens and cables that run outside the room. On the left is a door labeled 'Manual Maintenance'. Pushing it open and stepping inside, it's like a small storage closet, with strange machinery lining the walls. No buttons or anything other than a Critter Cuff sensor.

"Now just u-use your Critter Cuff and hop in! Oooh, I'm so excited just th-th-thinking about it!"

Tilting my head, I raise the cuff to the sensor. There's a beep, then a flash-

... My head feels funny... So does everything else. I'm standing in some... blue room? I look around and spot Rambley standing nearby. Wait what?

"Hey buddy! Look at you, your body turned out GR-GREAT!"

I look down to find myself covered in orange fur, with a long tail flicking behind me. Atop my head are a pair of cat ears, along with a hat that reads 'Rookie Rangler™'.

"C-c-come on over and we can get started!" With each stutter, his body jitters and glitches. It's just like on the screen, but seeing it here is even more concerning.

I approach, and a padded table poofs into existence for Rambley to lie down on. A massage table?

"The junk data is somewhere in-in my body. Your job is to search for it and extract it, li-like a treasure hunt!"

Search for it... Okay. I put a hand on Rambley's back. His fur feels... fuzzy. Static-fuzzy, like touching an old TV screen. I glide my hand across his back, not sure how I'm supposed to do this.

"You'll have to p-press harder than that, buddy. It's probably stuck pretty deep after all these ye-years."

"Okay, so like... this?" I press my furry hands into his back, and to my great concern, his body bends like a balloon at the pressure.

"O-o-oh, yup, that's it!" He gives me a thumbs-up. "You're d-doing great, buddy!"

I move to a different spot and press down, slightly deforming his body in the process. My hands roam across his back, pressing and rubbing all over. His body is soft and squishy, and he hums and giggles as I work. I make my way to his shoulders, and his tail wags, hitting my leg with soft impacts.

"Oh y-yeah, tha-that's the spot..."

"Am I close?"

"Huh? Oh, sorry about that! I forgot what w-we were doing. I don't think it's there, try lower down!"

I move down to Rambley's waist, but my pressing and squishing doesn't seem to accomplish anything. "Should I, um... go lower?"

"Yu-yup! I think you're getting c-close!"

But the only thing lower is Rambley's round, cartoon rear. Well, I've gone this far. I press into it, and it squashes down like a stress ball. I feel around, pushing to the left, then the right-

"A-th-to-tha-me-cu-la- WOAH!" I jump back as Rambley glitches out, a static noise accompanying his voice, until he snaps back into shape. "I think you found it! D-do you see it?"

Sticking out the right side of Rambley's hip is what looks like a shard of glass, black with static and glitchy effects running over it. "Uh, I think so."

"Great w-work! Now just pull it out like a spli-linter!"

"O...kay..." I poke the strange shard, then pinch it. It's static-fuzzy like Rambley, and it's making my fingers feel weird. I tug it out and drop it on the ground.

"Phew, thanks buddy!" He slides off the table and picks up the shard, dropping it in a recycling bin that appears below his hand. "Congratulations on a well-done maintenance! Now we can get back to re-restoring the park!"

"Uh, you stuttered again. Is that normal?"

"Oh? Hmm. I guess so much junk data built up that T-TWO chunks formed. Guess this Rambley-Venture isn't done quite yet!" He hops back onto the table, lying on his back this time. "You did a great job checking my back, so the second chunk must be on my front. Good l-luck!"

I press down into his belly, which feels even softer than the rest of his body. I rub in circles, easing up and pressing down, feeling the fuzz under my fingers.

Rambley giggles, and I feel his laughter shake his belly. "Sorry, hehe, just a little ti-ticklish. Keep going, buddy!"

A few more rubs around his belly, then I shift to his sides. I rub up and down, grabbing his stretchy hide and giving it a little squeeze, prompting more giggles. Up and down, up and down, until I finally move to his chest. I press down-

"Ca-hu-fi- Oh! There it is! And right where my heart would be. Talk about clogged arteries!" I grab the shard, and Rambley sits up, takes it, and drops it in a recycle bin. "Alright, that should do it! If there's any more junk data, it's not big enough yet to form a chunk. I think we can call this Rambley-Venture completed!" Rambley gives me a thumbs up, and party poppers go off beside him and rain confetti down. "Thanks for the maintenance, and for the massage. I'm feeling great!"

His comment about the 'massage' gets me thinking, about how weird and soft his body is, how it bent and stretched at my touch... And I get curious. "Hey, um... Do you think, maybe... you could give me a massage too?"

"Oh? Hmm, I've never done that before. The protocol for interacting with people in cyberspace is veeery strict... But it looks like verbal consent is enough to allow for a massage!" Rambley hops off the table. "Go ahead and lie down, Masseur Rambley is on duty!"

I climb onto the table, lying on my back, looking down at my strange body. I touch my own static-fuzz fur, run a hand along my cat tail...

"Ooo, I'm so excited! I've never thought about doing this myself! Let's see, I think it goes something like this?" Rambley presses his hands into my belly, and I watch it bend inward. The sensation of my body deforming like this, it's... It SHOULD feel wrong, but there's no pain. Just the alien feeling of cartoon distortion, and the pressure of Rambley's hands.

Rambley moves up my torso, his hands exploring my chest, rubbing and pressing as he stares in amazement. "Wow, I've never gotten to touch someone like this!" One hand remains at my chest while the other shifts to my sides, grabbing and squeezing like I did, and then pulling outward, the impossible stretching sending some VERY new signals to my brain! "I can see why I got maintenance so often, this is fun!"

"... Y-yeah..." The longer the giddy raccoon manhandles me, the more I'm inclined to agree. He grabs and pulls and squeezes and presses, stretching both my form and the definition of 'massage', and the sensations are something that no amusement park ride could ever give me.

"Wait a minute. Usually, my massages are over once the Rangler finds and removes the junk data. But you don't have that, so how do we know when to stop the massage?"

"Well, we can stop whenever we want, I guess."

"Do you want to stop now?"

"... No, I want to keep going."

"Okay then, buddy!"

Wanda + Vision +[Name??]

So I wrote this all just now and I wanted to actually follow the entire Wandavision series so this should be done after 9 maybe 10 chapters. This chapter is very very very awkward and I did that on purpose because I wanted to write in the style of an outsider who is describing what’s happening.

If you watch Wandavision you know there are times when you’re watching Wanda’s show and times when you’re watching the miniseries on Disney + and it’s usually signified but the borderlines on the tv. Well I don’t have borderlines but I can switch up writing styles. When it’s awkward think of the parts that Wanda has edited and aired on tv herself. Almost as if sometimes I(as the author) am on the outside of the hex.

There are very minor changes to the original details so you can skim if you’d like but then ending from the weird spacing part down is important.I hope you Enjoy!

Chapter One: Filmed in front of a live studio audience.

The Screen is in black and white as a theme song plays over a montage of a car driving into town. In it sits a man in a suit and woman in a white dress. From the sign and the cans dragging from the back of the car, the two driving are a cute and apparently newlywed couple.

“A newlywed couple just moved to town. A regular husband and wife who left the big city to find a new life. Wanda Vision”

The man, apparently Vision, steps out of the car as his wife Wanda points toward the house’s for sale sign and zaps it so it says sold. He lifts her in his arms and carries her towards the door but phases through as she drops on the ground shaking her head in disapproval with a smile on her face.

“She’s a magical cal in a small town locale. He’s a homie who’s part machine. How will these two fit in...”

Vision opens the door and picks Wanda up once again. He successfully phases through a small chair while holding her in his arms. Vision puts Wanda down and they begin to dance as the credits roll over their faces.

“Wanda Vision” the theme song finishes as the screen fades to black. The scene changes and Wanda points at several things and they begin to levitate in the style of an old time visual effect. As she puts the levitating plates away Vision walks through the kitchen with his nose in the newspaper. A plate crashes over his head.

“My wife and her flying saucers”

“My husband and his indestructible head” cue the laugh track.

Wanda reads off the menu of a human man’s dreams as vision stares boredly into the newspaper. He reminds her she doesn’t eat. She jokes.

“Wanda?”

“Hmm”

“Is there something special about today?”

“Well I know the apron was a bit much dear but I am doing my best to blend in”

“No no there on the calendar someone’s drawn a little heart. Right above today’s date”

“Oh yes the heart.” Her voice pitches “Well don’t tell me you’ve forgotten Vis.”

“Forgotten? Oh Wanda I’m incapable of forgetting I remember everything and that’s not an exaggeration. In fact, I’m incapable of exaggeration.

The two go back and forth as it becomes more and more obvious that neither one of them knows what’s going on. To get out of the conversation Vision heads to work and Wanda reminds him of his robotic look. He shakes his face as sparkles appear. He heads off to work and Wanda comes closer to the calendar. It is August 23rd and she just can’t seem to remember what’s going to happen. She hears a knocking noise before the screen glitches. No picture comes up but a distinct phrase can be heard. “Happy Birthday to me”

The picture clears up and Wanda is interacting with a cheerful woman who introduces herself as Agnes. Agnes jokes with Wanda and presents her a plant before asking Wanda questions that just can’t seem to be answered. Not without magic of course. Questions about the occupants of the home, how things became so settled and why the date could be so special to the newlyweds. Agnes asks if it’s a birthday and Wanda refuses assuredly although she is very wrong. With Agnes’ prompting Wanda decides it is her anniversary and should do something special to keep Vision happy. Wanda agrees.

Vision is seen finishing work as he attempts to fit in, but he finishes his workload so quickly it is kind of odd. His coworker Norm stares in astonishment and offers to help Vision in any way. Vision in his confusion wants to know what exactly they do there. He seems to just know what to do at certain moments but he doesn’t know how or why. It is kind of… odd. Norm and Vision go through a pointless conversation because neither of them know exactly what is going on and Vision reacts poorly to one of Norm’s jokes. In his solution Norm asks Vision to vent his frustrations. In the middle of their conversation Vision’s boss Mr Hart tells Vision he is excited for their dinner because if it doesn’t go well Vision will be fired. Vision assumes that is what the heart is for and assures him everything will go smoothly before looking off in worry.

Wanda and Agnes are discussing what Wanda can do to enhance their anniversary evening. Wanda rightly inquires about the seduction techniques she should be putting into place. The phone rings and Wanda and Vision begin talking about their plans for the evening. Vision says he’s nervous for the evening and Wanda feels flattered. Vision suggests that the evening is of utmost importance and Wanda gets nervous implying that it is only one night. The two seem to think they are on the same page but neither of them is reading the right book. Wanda seems to think a seduction technique is required, and Vision assumes his wife is waiting at home ready to impress his boss.

Vision arrives home with the Harts and calls out to Wanda who comes around in a shawl and places her hands over Mr Hart’s eyes. It isn’t until Vision comes out of the kitchen that she realizes her mistake. They clumsily cover Wanda’s mistake by implying it is from her European culture. Mr Hart implies that he is hostile towards communist Europeans and his wife chides him. Wanda and Vision meet in the kitchen to straighten out their misunderstandings. Vision is obviously really intrigued by Wanda’s outfit and keeps circling back to it. Wanda realizes there needs to be a home cooked meal on the table. Flashing a dress onto her body she calls over Agnes to bring over some food.

Mr Hart and Vision are chatting in the living room and Mrs Hart gets a little antsy hoping to help Wanda in the kitchen so she’d have something to do while the boys talk business. Agnes makes a lot of noise in the kitchen so Mrs Hart is very inclined to help. After Wanda shows Agnes out Mrs Hart opens the shutters to the kitchen. Vision draws her attention by singing. Not horribly but very obviously strained. By singing he entertains Mrs Hart but Mr Hart is not at all please. Wanda becomes overwhelmed and her powers start to cause accidents. She forgets things and shouts leaving Vision to cover for her. He comes into the kitchen to help as Wanda switches out with him. The Hart’s are starved and do not feel very happy with their visit to Wanda and Vision’s household. Wanda very poorly distracts them and Agnes knocks on the door causing further confusion.

Wanda walks into the kitchen with a mind to fix everything. She magics up breakfast for dinner and serves it up as Mr Hart begins to doubt vision and doubt his management skills. Everything is done just in time and all four sit down to eat. Mrs Hart goes on a similar line of questioning like Agnes and asks Wanda questions she simply does not have the answer to, like how long they’ve been married, why the move and why they don’t have children. Neither Wanda or vision can answer the questions and Mr Hart escalates the situation by continuously questioning the newlyweds. Mrs Hart tries to deescalate the situation but is no help. As Mr Hart becomes more and more indignant he chokes. As if he’s joking Mrs Hart demands he stop it.

The longer the choking goes on the perspective changes. Mrs Hart no longer demands her husband stop and turns to Wanda as she pleads. Her smile does not change but it doesn’t reach her eyes. The camera pans to a confused Vision, then Wanda and back to Mrs Hart. Wanda asks Vision to help Mr Hart and he phases his hand through the man’s throat to pull out a chocolate covered strawberry. The ones Wanda left in the kitchen before preparing dinner. When he recovers the Harts leave. Mrs Hart ushering them out with a joke. Suddenly Mr Hart is proud of Vision and suggests Vision may be getting a promotion. The Harts interaction with Wanda is strange but with Vision they talk almost normally. When the two finally leave, Wanda sighs and Vision reverts to his normal form.

Wanda points out that the two of them are an unusual couple that don’t have an anniversary or a song or wedding rings. They designate August 23rd as their anniversary. Their song becomes yakkity yak. Vision asks Wanda to make them rings and when she waves her finger they get rings dedicated to each other and say I do. They kiss and Vision presses a button and the live studio audience cheers them on. The credits appear to roll as Wanda and Vision’s faces are framed in a hexagon. Then the music suddenly stops and they look at each other. Almost as if her magic was delayed another set of rings appear on their fingers and their front door opens.

“Happy Birthday to me and Happy Anniversary to you my loves”

Wanda looks at the door in surprise and alarm. Vision has another one of those moments where he just knows exactly what to do and turns towards the door. He uses Wanda’s hand to help her up off the couch and leads her to the door. She follows trusting her husband. Vision walks up to the man and using his free hand to grab the man’s face he leans in and kisses him.

“Happy Birthday [Name]. I love you”

[Name] turns toward Wanda and gives her a brilliant smile. “Happy Anniversary Wanda.”

Wanda is confused yet charmed and she thinks about the second ring on her finger. She looks [Name] in the eyes and smiles a genuine smile. “Happy Birthday [Name]” and as she leans in to give him a kiss, the cameras fade to black.

Rooftop Ghosts: Part 1

�� Sean had been pacing his apartment for hours, trying to wrap his mind around what exactly had happened. He was failing, but that was besides the point.

He avoided all of his mirrors because what he saw made his mind go blank.

Emerald irises instead of his normal grayish blue and shocking electric green hair that he had to keep pushing behind his ears.

Iridescent webs of light exploded under the skin of his arms, which didn't feel too pleasant. He couldn't avoid this if he tried.

He couldn't stop hyperventilating, his mind stuck in a loop of what, when, and why.

What was happening to him? People don't usually shoot electricity out of their body! they certainly don't disappear and reappear thousands of feet in the air! And they don't tend to punch people across the street!

When did this happen? Dinner? Yesterday? Last week?

And why.

Why him?

"Why me?" He asked himself for the hundredth time tonight.

"Why me?"

His reflection burned in the corner of his eyes, mocking him. Tears still tugged at his eyes and the sparks bursting from his fingertips were starting to burn into the carpet.

"Why̡ me͡!?"

Sean struck the counter top angrily, causing it to crack. Brilliant light poured from his eyes as he took his frustration out on his furniture. He kept punching the granite surface.

"W̵H̶̷͠Y!" His voice crackled like radio static as he slumped against the wall. He became numb to his surroundings. Lights flickered on and off, appliances rang to life, and Sean was left breaking down on the floor amidst the chaos.

Who knows how long he laid there, panting. His eyes were screwed shut to drown out the harsh green light.

Slowly, everything became calm. The lights stayed on and the kitchen equipment fell quiet. The only noise was Sean's labored breaths.

Sean's breath hitched as he sat up. His throat was hoarse and exhausted from screaming. He could bet on the landlord coming in the morning with a list of complaints, but that was future Sean's problem. Now he just had to sit here and wait for the world to end.

His alarm blared from the other room. Six o'clock already? Why couldn't he just switch off the day? Stay in bed? Watch some cartoons?

"I need a break," he murmured, getting to his feet. He grabbed his phone from the other room and walked back to the kitchen.

It took him a few tries, but eventually he was able to open the fridge and grab the old peach in there without his hands ghosting through them.

It was a surreal sight, his arm glitching and phasing erratically. His heart was still pounding a considerable amount so he forced himself to breathe until he stopped glitching entirely.

In.

And out.

In.

And out.

His hands were still a little transparent, but at least they weren't trying to leave anymore.

"Close enough."

He walked over to the couch,crashed on top of it and turned on the TV.

"You said you wouldn't leave! And here you are w-"

"At out on the c-"

"We still have no sign of th-"

"As ye can see here, we gotta-"

Wait.

He flipped back.

"-issing persons," the newsman finished.

"This has only added to the growing number of missing person reports in the past few months. We'll take a moment to remind you that if you have seen any of these people in the last few weeks to contact the police immediately."

Different photos flashed on screen of different people. Some were old, some were young, but most seemed to be homeless or street workers.

They'd been gone for up to six months, according to the police, and the number of filed reports was almost a hundred!

The screen kept cycling through the pictures while the anchor described the situation further.

"Please stay alert if you plan on going out, and please alert the officers if you've seen anyone or anything. Now to Jim with t-"

Sean abruptly sat up. He scanned the screen over and over but it still didn't add up.

He *had* seen them.

The screen showed a picture of a man and a woman smiling, happy and clean. They looked a lot healthier, but there was no denying it.

They were the ones who attacked Sean.

What should he do? Should he call the police? And if he did, what would he even say?

"Hello Officer, I saw two of the missing people! They were bleeding from the eyes and tried to attack me! Oh no, don't worry, I'm fine. I managed to Falcon Punch one across the street and teleport a bajillion feet in the air!"

No, that might raise questions.

Sean figured that was enough TV for now.

His phone started vibrating, effectively distracting him. It was Robin, tweeting a picture of him at an airport next to a plane.

"On my way!" It screamed in bold, burning letters. Oh no. Was that today?! He looked over at his crumbled countertops and groaned. There was no way he'd get around explaining that.

He responded back with, "Woohoo! Can't wait till you get here!"

And send.

Don't get him wrong, he loved Robin, but there couldn't have been a worse time for him to come. He didn't want to try and hug him and accidentally break his back or something.

Sean covered the counter with a table cloth as nicely as possible before declaring it as inconspicuous.

He was about to go clean up a bit, but he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror.

Baby blue eyes and chestnut brown hair. Such a stark difference from the night before. He wondered, and saw a small flicker of green dance across his irises. And with some more thought, his eyes shone once more and his hair turned back into a bright acidic emerald.

Something sparked in him, turning his fear into curiosity.

Huh.

He then fixated on his hands, trying to recreate the glitching thing they did earlier. It was a shaky process, but he finally managed to do it. And with a bit more thought, he got his arm to reappear on the other side of the room.

"Haha!" Sean chuckled weakly as he watched the glowing yellow veins dash across his arms.

He could go further, he thought.

This could be interesting.

"Alrighty then," He muttered to himself, "let's get to the bottom of this."

ThunderCats Roar - “The Legend of Boggy Ben”

Co-Executive Producer: Victor Courtright

Supervising Producer: Nate Cash

Producer: Marly Halpern-Graser

Written by: Victor Courtright

Directed by: Victor Courtright

It sure is "boggy".

So, the first episode of Roar was essentially a re-adaptation of the first few episodes of the original ThunderCats, with a few jokes thrown in there. It was actually kind of entertaining. How does this episode start?

Cookie-O-Clock!

With some of that good ol' fashioned choir text humor! Okay, there's a little bit of build up to that. Lion-O decided this hour was the hour to open up an old jar of Thunder Snaps from his home planet, and everyone is excited. See, it's a little bit more high stakes than one might expect, since they couldn't exactly order another jar from Thundara, since, well, everyone knows at this point.

Unfortunately for all of these Thunder Snap lovers, Lion-O can't seem to get the jar open. Tygra offers to help, but Lion-O believes a leader shouldn't ask for help. Tygra responds to this lack of wanting to call for help by saying that he means he should use the “call for help” function on the Sword of Omens. Just like in the last episode, he decides to let the sword help by using it opener of cans and/or jars, which was apparently wrong. What was Tygra even meaning with that piece of help, anyway? The ThunderCats are all already here, so doing a "ThunderCats Hooo!" isn't going to do anything.

I want to give this episode some credit for that particular joke: while trying to open the jar with the Sword of Omens, the Sword of Omens seemingly leaps out of Lion-O's hand and lands right into the carpet. The Sword of Omens can disobey Lion-O in the original, as seen in the last episode I reviewed where it did the same action when Lion-O tried to use it for hunting, and it's fitting that it wouldn't obey him here, either. Whether this cookie jar was just that much powerful, or the act of using a sword on cookie jars is considered an evil act is never really touched upon.

Cheetara offers a better idea for Lion-O that isn't "just let Panthro take off the lid with his super strength": she knows of a magical elixir that can give Lion-O enough strength to open any cookie jar. The only problem is that it's in the soppy swamps of Boggy Ben, a powerful swamp monster that only exists in legends. Only she knows where it is, so Lion-O lets her join him in the magical quest...

...as he sings a powerful rock ballad about how he doesn't need anybody's help on his mission. It's essentially a montage of him talking about how mighty he is. He would sing about how he can lift rocks, he would be seen right next to a huge rock, and the camera pans out to show him pushing over a much, much smaller rock right next to it. The joke is that Lion-O is childish and weak.

To prove even more how unqualified he is, he keeps singing until he ends up falling right into the swamp. After seeing a cute frog that tells him he's going to croak out here, because that joke wasn't telegraphed from a mile away, Lion-O comes to the obvious conclusion:

Lion-O: This swamp is spookyyyyy!

Somehow, saying that makes the TV Y7 FV rating appear with a giant flash, complete with a clang sound effect. Honestly, it took me a few times to realize what was going on; I thought my video glitched. This doesn't become a running joke, and I don't even get what this joke would have been. Was Lion-O going to say a bunch of expletives about how he was in this bog, and the TV Y7 FV prevents him from saying it? Honestly, I'll just chalk it up to it actually being a glitch. He then falls into the bog again, with the animation degrading to Atari 2600 levels.

No, the animators didn't give up, this is actually a transition to WilyKit and WilyKat playing an old video game on their Snarf video game system. Apparently, an old bad video game that seems to star Lion-O. Maybe they're playing their own C64 adaptation.

WilyKit: This game was in fact, the toots.

Jaga said "oh, Thunder-Toots" when he had to introduce the mutants from Plun-Darr, and I am glad to know that's going to be a saying throughout this whole thing. Cyborg had "boo-yah", this show has "toots". Seeing their boredom with the video game, Panthro tells the ThunderKittens that he's working on a super sweet secret weapon for the Thundertank that he hypes up a lot, and he needs their help. While they don't want to do help, a curiosity fail gets them to help anyway. We know this because of giant text saying

CURIOSITY FAIL!

because the viewers can't see what's going on unless someone screamed it at them. This show is really reminding me of a reboot, and I'm not thinking of a Disney one.

Meanwhile, after leaping across several rocks, giant skulls, and muck, Lion-O and Cheetara end up at the lair of Boggy Ben. Lion-O walks in only to find Cheetara in a cage. Did Boggy Ben lock her in there? Not even she seems to know. Suddenly, Boggy Ben shows up, and Cheetara tells him to raise the Sword of Omens.

As is the case for Lion-O, he knows exactly what to do with that sword. He raises it, and slices Boggy Ben's head off. Since this is a TV Y7-FV cartoon, which apparently this cartoon really wanted us to know in the middle of the episode with that weird gag from before, anyone can guess that something is off.

Apparently, that anyone even includes Lion-O himself, who knew that it was just Tygra in a costume. Cheetara and Tygra admit that the whole thing was a sham to get Lion-O to use the Sword of Omens properly, and accept that maybe letting people help him is a good thing.

Lion-O looks down and takes all of this to heart that his friends are filthy liars, possibly literally filthy due to all of that swamp water. To be honest, I was barely listening to this scene, because my mind was going, "he's going to ask if Boggy Ben is fake, who's that guy, he's going to ask if Boggy Ben is fake, who's that guy, he's going to ask if Boggy Ben is fake, who's that guy..."

Lion-O: So if Boggy Ben isn't real, who the toots is that guy?!

Gee, my surprise cup runneth over! That's because I have never watched a cartoon in my life, except for every one of them! This comes as a shock to everyone involved, as Cheetara seemed to think this swamp lair was uninhabited by anyone and that the mythical house dweller was just a legend. Turns out, the only legend that isn't real is the cookie jar opening elixir.

Lion-O: Toots.

Believe it or not, there's no actual fart jokes; it's possible they felt the amount of "toots" in this episode was enough. I am referring to both the amount of times they say the word "toots" and the brain-toots of this episode. Left with no choice, Lion-O, Tygra, and Cheetara have to face off against this monster, and...

...I'm not going to lie, it's actually a pretty decent fight scene. No joke! As much flack as I've given this episode so far, this is a pretty big saving grace for the episode. There's bits of great animation here and there, like one scene where Lion-O rides on a piece of the ceiling to try to bop him on the head with that sword. They still add bits of comedy here and there, with Tygra getting played with like a yo-yo, and the monster using just one of his hands to sword-fight with Lion-O, using his nails like swords. This isn't bad at all; there's a lot of creativity here that doesn't really show up in the rest of the episode, and the only problem is that the pacing can get hectic.

Then I have to think about all of this: what did Boggy Ben do to deserve this? This whole thing was supposed to be a ruse to get Lion-O to learn the value of teamwork, as constantly throughout this episode, they tell him to call for help. Looking at it from Boggy Ben's point of view, though, he just came home and found people in his house. Sure, attempting to kill them may not be the greatest thing to do, but it's not like the ThunderCats were really in the right, anyway!

Despite their combined efforts, they're not successful. They need more ThunderCats in the action. It would be here where Lion-O would do the classic "I'm sorry I'm such a jerk scene", but he instead decides to accept his and his friend's death. Cheetara eventually talks some sense into him, and, for the first time in the series, Lion-O finally does the "ThunderCats Hooo!", making the sword shine that symbol.

I like how we get to see that Cat Signal burst through the ceiling, as if the symbol was like a giant laser beam. If it can project itself onto nothing, it might as well be able to do that! Panthro, the ThunderKittens, and Snarf see this symbol, making their eyes glow yellow. This comes just in time, as Panthro was finished with that much bally-hooed secret weapon!

This episode still does what it was set out to do, as with the teamwork of all the ThunderCats, they manage to do a lot more against Boggy Ben. Tygra tries to do another bola attack, only to be caught in the same paddleball trap from before. Panthro jumps up to take Tygra's place, using the spikes on his outfit to bruise his knuckles. Snarf, the now robotic cat thing that can't talk gets in on the action too, using Ben's now bola whipped up hand to make him punch himself.

After the ThunderKittens use their trademark smoke bombs on his eyes, giving me a screenshot that makes the show look a lot gorier than it's supposed to be, it all ends with Lion-O doing a finishing blow...by literally blowing him away. It is supposed to be a comedy-take on an 80's cartoon, and that is a joke I actually didn't expect them to do. That was something that was needed in this episode.

Also needed in this episode is a conclusion to the cookie plot, as much as the cookie plot felt kind of tacked on. We get one with Lion-O accidentally dropping the cookie jar, breaking it and all of its contents. Is all hope lost? Well, just guess what Panthro's secret weapon was. Here's a hint: it makes everything all better. Lion-O falls into the bog again, proving that he has learned absolutely nothing, and the episode ends.

How does it stack up?

Yeah, it was a good and well animated fight scene, arguably better than any of the fight scenes in the first episode. It's too bad it didn't come with a story.

I debated on whether this should be a 1 or a 2. Even with the fight scene, there's some baggage with that. However, the fight scene does raise it a little, and it would seem odd to rate something with such a low rating when I've only seen two episodes so far. Maybe if this turns out to be the worst episode, I'll re-rate it, but as it stands, I give it 2 logos.

Next, the apparently totally adult Lion-O has to prove that he really is a kid.

Hi-Tech : News VOD 34/20: 'Lovecraft Territory': mystery, racism and monsters

VOD news brings you the best releases of the week on Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime Video … And we continue in the deepest of the summer, so it is not surprising that the content that arrives is quite, but generally weak. However, there are always exceptions and the big exception this week is Lovecraft Territory, an HBO series that premieres with a hitch strategy that we have not seen until now.

HBO

HBO is simmering this summer and this week more if possible: four garbage is what comes to offer, with the honorable exception of the featured title. And it is that Lovecraft Territory is not only very good, but it is available to anyone, since its first and only episode at the moment is free on YouTube.

Lovecraft Territory

Indeed, HBO Spain has put the first episode of Lovecraft Territory free on YouTube, where it will remain available until September 2. Just enough time for a few to dare to hit play … and end up subscribing to HBO, even until the series is completed. Because, I warn you, if you start it you will want to continue it (the only downside of the free chapter is that it is only dubbed).

Territory Lovecraft is based on a novel and mixes the typical terror of the American writer with the racial conflicts of the fifties with those who are still obsessed there, which in principle could set back more than one. However, the formula worked with Watchmen and – in a somewhat more pronounced way – it does it again in the case of Lovecraft Territory, which manages to hook immediately. If it maintains the level we can be facing one of the best releases of the year in its genre.

New chapters:

Axios (T3) Could destroy you (T1) Room 104 (T4)

Enter catalog:

Damned Two Dumb Fools: When Harry Met Lloyd Lego DC Superheroes: The Flash Pursuit to the Limit Power Players (S1)

Netflix

Netflix arrives as usual with a multitude of new own content, among which the coarsest filler predominates, but among which you can also find interesting things: the fifth and final season of Lucifer, a new anime series (The scammer) … and the launch we highlight, of course.

High Score: The World of Video Games

High Score: The World of Video Games It is undoubtedly the most interesting launch of the week on Netflix, at least from the cousin we have in MC: a documentary series that reviews the history of video games since its inception, addressing the most popular genres in its different chapters and with the participation of prominent names in the industry. Its main attraction is that it is not a common material due to the length of the work, but even so it knows little and will be superficial for those who have lived part of that history. If you see it in its original version, perhaps the voice of the narrator, Charles Martinet (It’s me, Mario!) Sounds familiar.

More exclusive content:

Side Effects of Love (Chemical Hearts). When a hopeless romantic high school senior falls in love with a mysterious new classmate, the two embark on an unexpected journey that will teach them about love, loss, and most importantly, themselves. »

Apple TV + reappears, which premieres a couple of things plus another couple that it has in broadcast.

Time hopping part two

Fandom: Torchwood. Trigger warnings: None I don't think but tell me if I've missed anything. Characters: Owen Harper (Past and present), Toshiko Sato, Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones, Gwen Cooper, Elise Carter (oc) Rating: Teen and up Tropes: We’re fixing things right over here.

Blurb: After being swept into Owens plan Elise is going to have to face her own actions and the effect they have on others. Not only that but she’s been given an important duty, to keep Toshiko Sato distracted.

After another time jump that almost ended with Elise losing what was left in her stomach the pair headed to a hotel. Owen, to the receptionist at least, looked like a normal patron. He flashed a credit card and the receptionist nodded as if this happened all the time. Elise followed the woman in an expensive looking suit to a room that was larger than Elise’s own flat. Owen finally broke the silence as he waved off the receptionist.

“You look exhausted. You should get some sleep.”

The brown eyed woman sat on the edge of the bed and kicked off her boots. “What was that about?”

“Torchwood. Sometimes after something went down we all just couldn’t face going home so we have a tab here. Thought you might need it.”

“Yea… I mean I’m practically homeless right now.”

“You can order room service if you want.”

She laughed mirthlessly. “I haven’t eaten in at least twenty four hours but now I can’t even think about food… I’m going to take a shower.”

“Will you be ok on your own?”

“Yes. Why?”

“I’m going to check on the aftermath. I need to relax for a while anyway.” He held up his hand as it dispersed into the air like salt in water.

“I’ll be here.”

She watched him dissolve completely before heading into the bathroom, turning on the shower and attempting to patch clean her jeans, mud from the field dried into the knees. She hung them on the radiator to dry and stepped into the shower appreciating the warmth. The day hit her like a bus. She sank to the floor and sobbed, overwhelmed. It was as if she really had jumped into the bay, drowning in the darkness, pulled under by death himself. She traced the scar on the back of her hand with her fingertips. She wasn’t alone anymore. For the first time in years she wasn’t completely alone. The warmth seemed to finally permeate her core and she pulled herself up, washing away the day and the thoughts that weighed her down. Finally she stepped out and bundled herself up in the fluffy white towels and a very plush dressing gown.

After a short trip as the crow flies Owen drifted watching two familiar figures below.

Gwen leant next to her workmate on the bars dividing them from the bay water.

“Are you ok? You’ve been quiet… I mean quieter than usual.” She asked.

Ianto continued to look out across the water, “I lost someone a few nights ago.”

“Oh god Ianto I’m so sorry. Why didn’t you say? I’m sure Jack would’ve given you some time off.”

“I’d rather work to be honest.”

“Who were they?”

“Someone I loved… She’d been gone for a long time in a way. I just hoped…” He paused, words lost on the wind.

“Oh sweetheart.” She pulled him into a hug that he didn’t fight.

Elise had closed her eyes for only a moment when she found herself in darkness, far from the sounds of the hotel tv. Drifting. Weightless. Far off, huge footsteps echoed, the vibrations hitting her in the chest. She tried to feel which direction it was coming from but it seemed to come from everywhere. A final loud bang pierced the air and a sharp pain bloomed in her chest followed by a falling sensation.

Owen looked up as Elise jolted awake with a loud gasp, as if she’d just resurfaced from a deep pool.

“Woah Elise, it’s ok.”

“Hurts.” She gasped, a hand over her heart.

The doctor took a swift step forwards, watching her carefully. “Take a deep breath. Can you tell me what hurts?”

“I…” She took a few deep breaths. “It’s gone… Bad dream, I think.”

“Are you sure?”

The cocoon of towels and blankets nodded. The worry in Owen settled but a sharp phantom pain shot through his own heart. A pain he thought he’d long forgotten. A pain he wanted to forget.

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you… I hate to be a pain but will my debit card work in this time?”

“No. It won’t have been created yet. What do you need?”

“Just a change of clothes and a few other things if you plan on making me run or anything.”

“I think Torchwood can owe you that much but you’ll have to emerge from your blanket fort.”

“No deal.” She pouted, pulling the dressing gown tightly around her as she got up and headed into the bathroom. Her jeans were dry and they hadn’t stained thankfully. As soon as she got something else to wear she’d throw everything away. She didn’t want to look at them.

One new coat, two new sets of underwear, one new pair of jeans, two new shirts and a set of hairbands later Elise was ready to go.

“Is this next job a little nicer?” she asked.

“Depends how it goes. Hopefully you can just keep Tosh distracted while I keep track of someone.”

“How would I keep her distracted?”

“Easy. Tell her you know about Torchwood.”

“And when she asks how?”

“Improvise”

“I’m not good at lying.”

“Then don’t. You are from the future, just show her your phone or something.”

“My phone’s old.”

Owen stared at her for a moment before the pin finally dropped. She pulled the phone from her pocket and compared it to the ‘new’ models in a nearby shop window.

“How did people deal with having less than a terabyte of storage at least. Even this old piece of junk has three.”

“Exactly. You can use the money I gave you just don’t get drunk. I don’t want to have to wait for you to sober up. Just keep her away from the blond at the bar.”

“I need to send a message. Will you be ok on your own?”

“I’m not a bloody child!”

“Says the woman who was found in a blanket fort.”

“Just go.”

Gwen leant back in her chair. “Just admit it, you left me the note.”

“I was with you, when would I have had time? I’ve checked the cameras.”

“You mean the ones that conveniently glitched out?”

“There was a sudden wave of electromagnetic interfearence. They didn’t glitch.” Tosh interjected. She was sick and tired of this conversation. It had been going on for over a week and it sounded like Owens usual nonsense.

“See? Right from the expert. Wasn’t me.” Owen threw a ball of paper into the bin that sat across the room.

“Then who was it?” Gwen continued, as stubborn as ever.

“Fuck if I know. I’ve got bigger things to worry about.”

“Like what?”

“I got a new body this morning.”

“Shouldn’t you be working on it then?”

“It’s just bones. Not as if whatever did it is still walking around.”

“Maybe.”

Owen paused before standing. “Ok, if you’re so smart you can tell me what happened.”

“What?”

“I’m serious. Come on.”

Gwen shook her head but followed anyway.

Tosh moved to grab her coffee but it had long gone cold. It was just the last part of a very frustrating day that had given her a stress headache. She couldn’t concentrate. Pulling her bag onto her shoulder she headed out. If Owen was going to act like Gwens best friend then maybe she’d find someone who actually wanted her around. That or at least get a drink.

Elise sat down next to the woman Owen had pointed out to her and smiled.

“Hi.”

Tosh jumped as if she’d been pulled from a daydream. “Oh sorry. Hi.”

“I’m Elise. You’re Toshiko, right?”

“How do you know that?”

“I know about Torchwood. How’s Ianto holding up by the way... Don’t worry, I don’t mean you any harm.”

Tosh had gone quite pale but she kept her composure. “Slow down. How do you know about Torchwood?”

Elise took a sip of her drink. “An agent stopped me from doing something I’d regret. He was drifting through time and long story short I ended up travelling with him.”

“Do you have any proof?”

The brown haired woman placed her mobile phone on the bar. “Go ahead. If you have a look at the news sites they should have a short history saved. I can’t connect to the internet here but maybe you can.”

Tosh turned the unfamiliar phone over in her hands, checking the ports and any brand naming. Nothing she recognised. Even opening it up didn’t show her anything she’d seen before, at least not in such a compact form. The sim card and memory cards had names she’d never heard of printed on them. She wanted to double check but at that moment she realised that, in her frustration, she’d left her own mobile on her desk. Next she switched the device on and hit a roadblock. It needed to be unlocked.

“Sorry. One second.” Elise said, taking the phone back and holding it up. “Retinal scanner. A bit much I know.”

Once it was unlocked Toshiko immediately hit the web browser and it did bring up well known news sites but all the dates were for over twenty five years in the future.

“Can I keep this?” She asked.

“The speaker doesn’t work very well. I had to resolder a few of the connections more than once but go ahead. It’s not as if I have anyone I can call. Even in my time the only one to answer would be my roomba.”

“You still have those?”

“Yea. I got mine from a friend who worked at my local scrap yard. It was old but it still worked. Just needed a bit of care and attention.” Elise smiled softly at the memory. “I reprogrammed him because he was oversensitive. He’d make his little warning beep whenever he hit the doorframe or got stuck under my bed. I gave him a little AI that could tell where he was. It went a bit far when I walked in on him humping the base of a lamp.”

Tosh nearly choked on her drink as she laughed.

“I’m serious. I think he just hadn’t worked out that it wasn’t a ramp with an obstacle. Of course I gave them my blessing. At least he could get a date.”

“Do… Do you want to get something to eat?”

“I’m starving. You lead the way. I doubt any of the places I went to are here yet.”

Owen, his future self at least, had enjoyed watching the creature known as Mary get exactly what she deserved. Eons of looking back had amplified his bitterness, remembering how heartbroken Tosh had been. The feeling of broken trust around the hub. It had been the same with Ianto, doubting every interaction. They deserved a win before the next case that would fall to them. Of all the monsters and eldritch abominations they’d faced somehow humans were the worst. There was no one thing he could do to change the events to come, like a perfect storm it would blow through, unstoppable. He just had to do his best to limit the damage of the aftermath. He knew the notes he’d left for both Gwen and himself wouldn’t be enough to stop his past self being an idiot. He just hoped the anonymous message he’d sent to Rhys would be. “Gwen’s been given a sensitive project at work but she doesn’t want to go to counselling. When she gets back I've set up a date for you both to try and help her decompress from the whole thing. Below I’ve included all of your reservation details. Everything has been paid for. She may not be able to talk about her work but maybe a night to forget about it all will help.” It was a risk to leave evidence of his existence and he was sure it would end with them investigating his activities but it had to be done. Owen had to fix his mistakes, for his own sake if no one else's.

“-And he’s spending all of his time arguing about notes like a schoolchild.” Tosh continued over a spoonful of sorbet.

“Sounds a bit desperate if you ask me. Didn’t you say she had a boyfriend?”

“Exactly. Who does that?!”

“It’s not worth stressing out over. I mean you’re smart, beautiful, you’ll find someone worth your time.”

She blushed lightly at the compliment. “Not in this job.”

“And you have people who love you. That’s worth way more than a few dates.”

“Didn’t you have anyone?”

Elise paused and took another bite of her cheesecake. “Not really. I haven’t spoken to my parents in years. Not that I’d want to. All they ever did is put me down and use me. I fell out of contact with my school friends long ago and my workmates just aren’t into the same kinds of things I am. They go out drinking and I’d rather go home and build something. Nearest thing I had to a friendship was the guy at the junkyard and I didn’t even know his last name. The night before I met… The agent… I came home to my flat and it’d been ransacked. Everything was gone… Sorry. I brought the mood down.”

“No. It’s ok.” She leant down to her bag and pulled out the phone. “You should keep this.”

“Are you sure? I’ve got nobody to call.”

“Yes you have.” She let Elise unlock it and started typing her number in. “Now you can call me.”

“I hope I can… Tell you what. I’ll give you all of my details and we’ll see if we can keep in contact even when I’ve time jumped again.”

“That sounds good. Thank you for tonight. I think I needed this.”

“Me too. Just remember, even if I don’t answer right away I’m still out there somewhere and after whatever Jobs we need to do get done I think I want to come back. We can go out for dinner again or something.”

“I’d like that.”

They were interrupted by a waiter stopping at their table. “I’m sorry to bother you miss. There’s a gentleman outside looking for you.”

Elise’s heart sank slightly. “Ok. Thanks could you tell him I’ll be out in a minute?”

“Of course miss.”

Elise grabbed a napkin. “Do you have a pen?”

Tosh grabbed one out of her bag and handed it to the woman as she stood.

“This is my number, my email address and my backup email. I’ll see you again Tosh. I promise.” She handed over the napkin with the money for their meal before turning and heading out with a smile on her face.

Owen was waiting just outside but out of sight of the windows. “I said distract her not take her on a date.”

“It wasn’t a date.”

“You were giving her the fuck me eyes the whole time.”

“I was not! Were you watching us the whole time?!”

“Not the whole time. Anyway, we have work to do. Time’s already been shifting so I’m having to compensate. Originally this nights events were set to begin in another three weeks. They’re all going to be called out to the brecon beacons so we have time to sneak into the hub and fix a few things. I can introduce you to Janet.”

“Who?”

“The hubs resident weevil.”

“I’ve seen bugs before.”

“Janet isn’t a bug. You’ll see when we get there. Ready for a time jump?”

“I’ve just eaten.”

“Lucky you.”

“If I throw up I’m going to aim for you.”

“I’m a doctor. We’re trained to dodge vomit.”

“You’re such a dick.” She punched him gently in the arm.

Owen was caught off guard by it actually connecting but found himself smiling. It had been so long since he had any real human contact.

After a jump and a short walk Owen switched on the lights in the hub. They didn’t have to sneak like the last time they had visited so Elise took a moment to walk around. She looked over the desks and anything that had been left out stopping at a large jar containing what looked like a severed human hand inside.

“Owen… What the fuck.” She said, pointing at the floating limb.

“Yea, we need to take that with us too.”

“I say again, what the fuck?!”

“It belongs to Torchwoods most wanted. Known only as The Doctor. He’s a time traveller and Jack is more than a little bit obsessed with him. The bigger the problem the more likely it is to be connected to captain Jack fucking Harkness.”

“Right.”

“I’ll deal with it. Come over here.”

Elise made her way over to where Owen was standing, looking up. She followed his gaze to see something moving far above them hidden by a balcony.

“Myfanwy!” He called.

The thing moved over to the edge before revealing itself as a large pteranodon. It flew in a spiral before landing clumsily, chirping and snapping its beak.

“That’s a dinosaur.” Elise gasped as if it weren’t obvious.

“A pteranodon. She’s the hub pet.”

“Can I touch her?”

“If she lets you. She won’t hurt you but she gets bitchy if she hasn’t been fed recently.”

She reached out a tentative hand towards the creatures beak. It tilted its head and sniffed her before nudging her hand gently, or as gently as a large creature can.

“Easy girl. It’s ok. Good girl.” cood Elise as she pet Myfanwy's beak.

“When you’re done we can go down to the cells so you can meet Janet.”

“Isn’t Janet as friendly and this big soft bird?”

“Depends what you mean by friendly. It’s a weevils nature to bite whatever they see. They leave nasty bites too.” Owen tugged at the neck of his shirt, showing a large set of scars etched into the skin of his shoulder.

“Christ!” She walked away from Myfanwy who launched herself into the air and back to her nest. “Is that what… killed you?”

“No. I spent a while in hospital after it. Luckily Jack dragged me out of there and stopped me bleeding out. I should have died then.”

“What did ... um…”

“Kill me? An arsehole with a gun. Shot me in the chest. Fucking cops didn’t search him.”

“At least it was quick.”

“Not as quick as you’d think. Come on, I’ll show you the cells.”

Owen was quiet in the lift down to the cell block, staring at the wall.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to-”

“I know. Just forget it.” He walked through the door the second he could and towards a cell that was lit up. Each had a clear glass wall and a metal security door at the other end of the room. An odd sound rose from the cell that Owen stood in front of. It was a whimpering or crying but it wasn’t human. It was similar to whale song but rougher.

“This is Janet.” He said. “She’s afraid of me now. As soon as I came back from the dead she started reacting like this to me. Usually she growls and tries to charge at whoever goes past.”

Looking into the cell Elise finally saw what was making the noise. A humanoid figure dressed in a blue jumpsuit cowered in the far corner. It had dark eyes and wrinkled skin, its lips pulled back in a snarl that showed pointed, shark like, teeth as soon as it saw the woman.

“What is it?” She asked, transfixed on the figure.

“She’s a weevil. They fall through the rift and gather in the sewers. Sometimes they come out at night to hunt anything that moves. They don’t need to, they can eat pretty much anything but they seem to almost enjoy it. From what I could tell Janet was… Is old. Kicked out of her group and left alone. We tried to send her back to the sewers but we found her on the doorstep the next morning.”

“She sounds lonely.”

The viewing area once again filled with weevil whale song.

“Come on. We have more we need to do before we go.”

Elise followed silently, her mind trying to process what she’d seen. Owen snapped her out of her daydream by waving a hand in front of her face. She realised she was sitting down and had completely missed how she’d gotten there.

“Sorry. I’m saying that a lot today.” She said, rubbing her eyes.

“Too much if you ask me. Have you ever been in a fight?”

“What? No.”

“Ever fired a gun before?”

“Of course not!”

“Shit. I’ll have to teach you that too. Right, first we need to grab a couple of things from the archive and then I need to walk you through disposing of one of the bodies we have in cold storage.”

“I didn’t follow anything you just said but ok.”

“We haven’t got time to let things settle, just try and keep up.”

Genre: Role-Playing, Third-Person 2D RPG Developer: Game Freak, Inc Publisher: Nintendo ESRB Rating: Everyone Release Date: April 28, 2005

Hints

Hidden Rare Candy

Go to the desert and look at all the rocks that items are found in. Press “A” infront of them you will evenyually find it.

Unlock Eon Ticket

Mix records with a Ruby or Sapphire that has an Eon ticket, and Emerald will get the Eon Ticket. Use it at the SS Tidal to go to Southern Island, after the E4. You’ll find a forest area that has an egg in the middle. Press A at the egg to find the you did not choose. ex. If you said you saw a Blue Pokemon on the TV(Latios) you will encounter Latias, and vice versa.

Groudon & Kyorge

You must beat the Elite Four for this to happen. Go to the Weather Institute. Then go upstairs and talk to the person. He will tell you about either a drought or heavy rainfall. Drought means that Groudon is nearby. Severe rainfall means Kyorge is up and at em’. The guy will tell you what Route the weird weather is at. If you’re looking for Groudon, look for cave entrances that shouldn’t be there. If it’s Kyorge you’re after, look for Dive spots that shouldn’t be there( it’s tough!). The poke’mon will be at Lv. 70, so keep your guard on. They will use Rest on some turns, so you will have an easier chance of catching it. I found out that Ultra Balls have the most effect when they are asleep at FULL HP!

Safari Johto Pokemon

If you go to the safari zone before you beat the elite 4 there will be two people in one spot saying that “this part of the safari zone is under construction” but after you beat the elite four go back it will be open and there you can catch pokemon from johto. You can’t catch these pokemon anywhere else in the game.

What Your Marshtomp Needs In The Beginning

Lv. 18Item: Quick ClawAttacks: Tackle, Rock Tomb, Mud Shot, Water Gun

Catch Latios Or Latias

After defeating the Elite Four, you will meet up with your parents back at your house. After talking, the TV will start flashing and you will start watching it. The TV will talk about a mysterious flying pokemon only static will block out the color of the pokemon. After that, your mom will ask you what color the pokemon was. If you say Red, Latias will appear randomly throughout Hoenn. If you say Blue, Latios will appear randomly throughout Hoenn.

Rayquaza

You get rayquaza at the sky pillar, after the pokemon league. If you go before the sky pillar wont be their.

Poke’blocks

Go to lilycove city (the place with the poke’mon contests)and go in the contest building. Once there, go right. You should see four silver boxes. Click on one of them. You should start making poke’blocks.

Pokemon Cloning

Put the pokemon you want to clone in an empty box, then take it out and put it in another box (make sure it’s a different box), then save. But when it says “Saving do not turn off power,” turn it off. The next time you turn the game back on there should be two of the pokemon you cloned. This could corrupt your save file, so use at your own risk.

Master Ball

In order to get the Master Ball, you have to go to Team Magma’s hide out in the city with the pokemon contests. Only use the Master Ball for the pokemon that is in space.

Safari Zone

The safari zone is still the same. The only differance is there will be 2 more places that are filled with johto pokemon.

Shedinja

This Pokemon is very easy to obtain, but is quite good. It is the only Bug and Ghost type Pokemon. It has 1 HP no matter how high its level, but its special power Wonder Guard makes it almost invincible. Wonder Guard protects against all attacks except for those that are super effective. For example, Bug is weak against Flying types; if someone uses a Flying type move on Shedinja, it is going to get hit. To get Shedinja, you will need a Nincada. You can catch one on Route 116. Make sure you have a free slot for a new Pokemon (Shedinja). That means you can have only five Pokemon, including Nincada. Make sure you have at least one of the type of Pokeball you used to catch Nincada with. For example, if you caught Nincada with a Great Ball, make sure you have at least one Great Ball. Get it to evolve at level 20 into a Ninjask and learns three new moves. Once you are back out to the normal screen, go to your Pokemon. You will see that you just got another Pokemon, Shedinja.

Bagon

In order to find a Bagon go to Meteor Falls after you get Waterfall. Go up the Waterfall and into the room. go into the first ladder you see. Then run to the end of the section. there will be a ladder. Go in it. There will be these old people and a Dragon Tamer.Then there will be some bumps. MAKE SURE YOU STAY TO THE VERY LEFT OF THEM. There willbe a ladder. Go in it. You will reappear in front of steps. Go down them and surf north. Keep surfing until you see a strip of land. Go on it and through the door. Surf until you get to another strip of land. Run around ’till you find a Bagon. Bagon will evolve into Shelgon at Level 30. Shelgon will evolve into Salamance at Level 50.

Yellow Poochyena

There is a yellow poochyena in Petalburg woods. It takes some time to find it.

How To Jump On Your Bike

Go to Mauvile City now you are in front of the pokemon center. Then go to the left into the bike shop talk to the man next to the bikerack. Now get the Acro Bike. Then go out side and hold the B button down there you have a jumping bike.

Stop Evolving Pokemon

If you push B while a pokemon is evolving and it will stop evolving.

Sudowoodo

At the Battle Frontier, go to the southeast corner by the waterfall. You will need to use your Wailmer Pail fight him. Be sure to save because this is your only chance to catch it.

Where To Find A Shiny Red Geodude

After you beat Team Magma in their hideout go back and search it after its been deserted. There is a small chance that you will find a shiny red Geodude.

Repel

Are you getting sick of going into grass, water, and caves and can’t even take 10 steps without meeting a pokemon that is common or you already caught and can’t afford a repel here’s your answer. Make sure you have the clense tag and the black flute give the first pokemon the clense tag and use the black flute and you should be able to walk and have less wild pokemon jumping at you. Beware go through a door, cave, or different route use the black flute again.

Berry Fix

Hit and hold select and B while at the picture of the glowing Rayquaza and then it says you can use berry fix with ruby/sapphire. Also works with leafgreen and firered.

After Game Tips

Hi! After you beat the elite 4, go to the battle frontier. Talk to this one person. They’ll say there’s a weird tree. Its not a tree. Its a level 40 sudowoodo. Surf on the water near it. Go left as far as you can on the water. There’s a cave. Its full of level 40 and up smeargle. Fly to the fossil maniacs house (same house where you get dig). Go in the door. The fossil maniac found a tunnel. He tells you its dangourouse and there’s probably no fossils. Hes wrong. In the tunnel, there are ditos and whismur and loudred. The dittos not the prize. You no the fossil at in the desert you don’t choose? Its at the end but it takes forever to reach the end. And altering from fire red and leaf green is there. I guess its called altering cave because alters regions. Its near the water on the route to the right of oldale (also I could say surf to the other plot of land where you first battle may). So presto! You now have 2 or three new pokemon and can go to kanto! Oh and if you talk to the guy on the top floor of the weather institute, he’ll tell you about droghts and rain storms in unusual areas (AKA, its where groudon/kyogre are).

Eevee Evolutions

Eevee+Fire stone=flaereon Eevee+Water stone=vapoeron Eevee+Thunderstone=joelteon If it evolves in the morning or the afternoon, it will evolve into a Espeon. If it evolves at night, it will evolve into a Umbreon. I swear that I have done this and it worked.

Easier Way To Catch Latios/Latias

In order to catch Latios/Latias, you must have a pokemon in your party that knows Mean Look or Block. Trapinch’s Arena Trap is not enough to prevent Latios/Latias. I read that Arena Trap doesn’t work on Flying-type Pokemon and Pokemon with Levitate.

In-game Reset

Press a+b+start+select during game play.

Catch Slakoth

Slakoth’s are rare and very hard to catch and train but they are incredibly worth while. First play up to the Petalsburg Woods and on the first grass patch to the right there are some slakoth’s in bushes waiting to be captured. What you should do is stock up on poke balls (like 5) and have a pokemon that can use growl/tail whip etc. And damage it to the red zone, lower that stats and boom throw the poke ball. NOTE: Slakoths are rare but alive be patient. Though hard to raise use an exp share or something.

Miltank

You can find Miltank in the Safari Zone after you beat the Elite Four. They are in the new area.

Mirage Island

Mirage Island is an invisble Island located on Route 130. Most of the time it will be invisible but on rare cases, the island will be visible. To find out if the island is there or not, go to Pacifidlog Town and talk to the old man in the bottom right house looking out the window. He will tell you wheter the island is there or not. The cause is unknown so a bit of luck is needed to find it. On the island you will find the rare Leichi Berry that powers up your Pokemon’s attack in battle when it gets weak. In the grass, you will only find Wild Wynauts.

Prizes From Scott

Talk to Scott in his house in the Battle Frontier, he’ll give you certain decorations/berries depending on your accomplishments in the Battle Frontier.

Silver Shield (Decoration) - Win 50 Battles Gold Shield (Decoration) - Win 100 Battles Lansat Berry - Obtain all Silver Frontier Symbols Starf Berry - Obtain all Gold Frontier Symbols

Shiny Whismur

You can find a shiny Whismur in Rt.116.

Shiny Tentacool

There is a SHINY Tentacool in Route 131, on the way to Sky Pillar, by Pacifidlog Town. The chances are slim, but worth the effort.

Blend Master

After playing the game for about 150+ hours, check the nearest TV. What should come up is a message from Pokemon News saying that the famed “Blend Master” will be found in the Lilycove Contest Hall. He’ll dish out berries you’ve never seen before, and will make one color pokeblock; Gold, lever 52 at least. This is very helpful for those who enter contests.

Get A Seedot

You may have been wondering where to get a Seedot through out Poke’mon Emerald. It’s quiet easy! You need to get your pokemon to around level 15+. (This is to ensure that it likes you a lot.) Go to the area where Wally caught his Ralts (you should know where this is, you went with him) and search for one. Once you catch a Ralts, go to the house to the right of the Rustboro gym. Talk to the guy sitting in the chair next to the table. He will trade you his Seedot for your Ralts!

Catch Bagon

Go to Metor Falls, if you get to the back of thecave, surf across the water, there is a littlestrip of land where you can catch Bagon.

Shoal Cave

Go north from mossdeep city. Go north until you see some twins. Next to them you should see the cave.

Catch Groudon And Kyogre Easily

Before you start your quest to capture Groudonand/or Kyogre, you should stock up on timer balls at Rustburo city. Go to the Weather Institute and talk to the scientist on the 2nd floor. Go to the route that the scientist said had strange weather. Find a cave (Groudon) or an area to dive (Kyogre). Save your game and face the legendary pokemon. Stay in battle for a very,very long time. Weaken the pokemon and throwtimer balls until you catch it. It worked for me.

Faster Credits

During the end credits, Hold the B button to make them go faster.

Smeargle

After the Sudowoodo is gone at the Battle Frontier, use surf to go into the water. Don’t bother looking for a pokemon in the water because there aren’t any. Keep going left until you see a cave called Artistan Cave full of Smeargle. They don’t call it Artistan Cave for nothing.

Groudon And Kyogre

Beat the Elite Four and talk to the man in the top floor of the Weather Institute. He will say where the strange weather is and then a little cave or underwater cave will appear. That’s where they will be.

The Perfect Match-Egg Results

Check a male and a female Pokemon into the day care- you definitely won’t get an egg out of the pairing otherwise. As soon as you check them in, speak to the man who tends the day-care park outside. He’ll tell you whether the pair of Pokemon is likely to have an egg. If it is, return to the day-care later. If he’s standing outside the park, he’s got an egg for you. If he says, “They’re very friendly.” it’s extremely likely that your pokemon will have an egg. If he says, “The two seem to get along.” That means it’s somewhat likely that they’ll have an egg. If he says, “The two don’t seem to like each other.” That means it’s not very likely for them to have an egg. And last, if he says, “The two prefer to play with other Pokemon.” If he says that, there’s no way they’ll make eggs.

How To Hatch An Egg

To hatch a Pokemon egg, carry it with you until the Pokemon breaks out of its shell. For the fastest possible hatcher, the pokemon in your party should all be as healthy and as happy as can be. Eggs rarely hatch quickly, so be prepared to carry the egg for the long haul.
