POKEMON STUDIES #2: I can't believe it's not Politoed!

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

Who: Misty, class attendees, teacher lurkers
What: Pokemon Studies with more than one twist.
Where: The stadium
When: Tuesday, January 25th
Warnings: Depends on who attends.



Misty's class was going to be granted one hell of a surprise, indeed, but not quite the one she had in mind. A rather grumpy-looking frog woman with Misty's hair, clothes, and body entered the room, somehow able to still grumble under her breath in a legible human language. Surely this couldn't possibly be Misty at all!

"Hi, class," she spoke in a voice much unlike her own, much deeper and cracking. She was clearly very frustrated by this turn of events. "Believe it or not, I'm actually your teacher today, and... Misty..." She caught herself. No, she wasn't ready to confess to her class that she looked like a grotty, ugly frog. "... will not be teaching today! I'm just a substitute, uh... frog woman! With, um... with shapeshifting powers! I tried to adopt a persona a lot like your teacher's! That's right, so... don't feel uncomfortable! Okay?! Just don't!"

It was pretty clear that Misty valued her looks enough to try to hide her identity to her students.

"This class will be held at the Stadium, right here, instead of the classroom. I used my- er, Misty's lesson plans this time for a new introduction to Pokemon: test battling."

Misty presented a box to the class, containing Poke Balls. MANY POKE BALLS, enough to accomodate all of her students. They were all Pokemon sent from Kanto, not to mention very common ones. (What, you expected the likes of Kangaskhan and Dratini?)

"Each student must pick a Pokemon from this box. You're not being given this Pokemon permanently! It's only for class. Each student will battle each other in random match-ups with the Pokemon they chose at random. That way, I can see how students adapt to Pokemon they weren't forewarned about! It's simple as that.

"Now, all you have to do is come pick a Pokemon, and when you do, I'll tell you who you'll be facing! Then each set of students will battle each other! It's just as easy as that. Real Pokemon training is a lot harder work than that, so we'll have to take baby steps to start. So c'mon, pick a Pokemon! And, um... I promise I... Misty will be coming back soon!"

Here's hoping.

((OOC: While some Johto Pokemon are, too, located in Kanto, for the sake of confusion prevention, only very common Kanto Pokemon will be used. I compiled a nice little Pastebin list here. Which Pokemon they get is up to you! Pokemon like Butterfree and Beedrill are exceptional and will be included, as Caterpie and Weedle's lines are... very weak apart from them, plus they evolve at a measly level 10.))

ATTENDANCE / REACTIONS

[If you want to laugh, poke fun at Misty, or just plain bother her before the Pokemon picking, go on ahead.]

[Is this seriously.

Is she seriously the one teaching this class.

WHAT A CRAZY RANDOM HAPPENSTANCE.

Ashley sort of hangs near the back so as not to get in huge trouble but THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER.]

[Hello, he's walking by!]

[punchteamrocket.livejournal.com]

[Oh, heck yes, a class he can ace. And Misty was teaching it.

Or... Um...]

Hey, Misty I--AAAUUUOOHHGOD.

[Something was awfully fishy today... or should I say froggy. Falkner was under the original impression that she was simply wearing a goofy mask to go along with the 'exciting lesson' she promised, but apparently it was just a substitute with Misty's... body. Hmm. It is very easy to stare at her, but he tries not to...]

[punchwaves]

[That ... is absolutely horrifying.]

[Bulba is a lot more concerned with the assignment than he is the frog woman.]

... This is really meta.

[Busy stalking Pokemon trainers, don't mind him. Hmm. Pokemon studies. Taught by that one Water-type Gym Leader, Misty. Let's take a look-see here...]

::Oh it's a shapeshifting frog lady who is sort of looking like Misty::

::He's seen weirder at this school.::

::Max falls for it::

[Call Tony crazy, but that looked like Misty disguised as a frog. Why in the world would she feel the need to make everyone comfortable by mimicking their teacher? Doesn't that make the whole situation a little... creepier?]

[punchicebergs.livejournal.com]

[... How odd. But Kojiro just sits back and watches. It would be too weird to pretend to train a fellow pokemon...]

[[Cyrus had come to scope out the class]]

Well...that was unexpected.

Yuk yuk yuk!! I can't believe this!

You never told us your name.

[Cream has no idea what to say about this turn of events. She just hopes that the teacher is alright and will come to the next class.

Or something. But yay, a chance to learn more about these Pokémon!]

CHOOSE YOUR POKEMON / GET MATCHED UP

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

[Self-explanatory!]

Re: CHOOSE YOUR POKEMON / GET MATCHED UP

[learn-my-name.livejournal.com]

[Ashley has chosen her Pokemon.

He is not a Pokemon, but everyone seems to think he's one, so she is going to see if she can't get away with forcing Red to fight Pokemon battles. They are both waiting to get matched up and snickering to each other about Frogface over there.]

BATTLE THREADS

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

[Post your battle threads under this thread, and please do include the match-up in your title! (i.e. MASTER HAND VS. CRAZY HAND and whatever else would fit.)]

RED VS. ASHLEY

[learn-my-name.livejournal.com]

[Ashley and Little Red are standing around whispering about how ridiculous Frogface looks. She has no idea how Pokemon battles work but that's okay because Little Red is totally a Pokemon. Totally for serious.]

AFTER CLASS

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

[There's no way Misty is going to spill all of the beans during class unless it's kept very, very on the down low. Thus, after class is probably the best way to get info out of her.

She remains at the stadium, leaning against a wall with her arms folded and a large frown on her face.]

IT'S RED TIME

[punchteamrocket.livejournal.com]

[Red totally kept his promise. Here he was, hanging around way after class dismissed.]

... So why'd you glue a frog mask to your face?
