FOURTH WALL - action in the sprout tower only

[wantnotneed]

[If you happened to wander around Sprout Tower in Violet City, you might heard some cackling and pots and pans clanging for some reason although there are no such things here

[Well, Hiro turned on Phys. Drain and all sorts of other defensive stuff once he realized everyone had their abilities were back, so he's safe for the most part. Not that the stakes could know that.

....... His Jack Frost buddies? Well, sadly, he can't give them abilities like that.]

[wantnotneed]

[Phys. drain? Whatever man. Staking ability is not the only thing the stakes have gotten their hands on. Out pops a Rayquaza, Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos and they are all attacking Hiro at once.]

1/2

[thebelsareinert]

... Now that's just cheating!

[thebelsareinert]

[Well, whatever. Hiro's got something better than Pokemon now. Yeah, even yo pussy ass legendaries.

He has his dad.]

LUCIFER!!

[wantnotneed]

That ugly thing should never steal Luci-nee's name! It's a disgrace!!

[Then a pseudo-triattack is aimed at Hiro along with a Hyper Beam.]

[thebelsareinert]

DISGRACE...? CHILD OF MAN... WATCH YOUR TONGUE...!!

[In Pokemon terms, with Tyranny on Lucifer and Anti-Most on Hiro, those are going to add up to a whole lot of not very effectives. Now, the Medigoladyne that Lucifer is casting and the Mabufudyne Hiro is casting? Those might hurt.]

[wantnotneed]

[She cackles more.]

Child of man? Don't make me laugh. Maybe you're just stupid, you impostor. I'm Mammon! Fifth sister of the Seven Stakes of Purgatory!!

[The legendaries seem to be covering Mammon while Rayquaza uses Roar, chipping off a good portion of the building.]

[thebelsareinert]

[That just makes the big daddy laugh a roaring laugh in turn.]

YOU ARE NO MAMMON. SISTER? STAKE? PURGATORY? I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU TRULY ARE...!

[Roar knocks Hiro back, but only a few panels-- Lucifer, on the other hand, is torn between insulted and amused that a little toy is calling him an impostor. So here comes some more Megidoladyne.]

[wantnotneed]

[After the Megidoladyne, Mammon calls them all of the Pokemon and just stands there alone, staring at both of them.]

[thebelsareinert]

[Lucifer is about to start spoiling both our franchises when Hiro steps up and holds up a hand to shut him up.]

She called them back, you can back off. For now.

[After saying something like "arrogance child", the demon lord fades away, leaving just Hiro and Mammon... and the Jack Frosts that are all kinds of terrified on the sidelines.]

[wantnotneed]

... ... ...

[After Lucifer fades away, Mammon frowns at Hiro.]

No wonder you're so conceited.

[thebelsareinert]

... [he frowns too]

Hey, he only says he's my dad, my real one is nothing like that.

[wantnotneed]

That's not what I meant.

You had all those powers, so that's why you think you're better than me. And my sisters.

1/2

[thebelsareinert]

... It's not like I would just think something like that without reason.

[Though hold on--]

[thebelsareinert]

Though what's this about being "better" than you? I think I'd remember saying something like that.

... Sure, I wanted to contract you, but that's because I recognized you guys had some power. I still see it, even with mine all back, but it looks like even your power isn't enough to leave.

[wantnotneed]

Your point being? What if I don't want to leave?
