Norse Sinnoh E8: A Shitty Flashback · The Multiverse Collective

0:00
This series is intended for mature audiences.
0:05
We met this kid who is unfortunately very bulliable.
0:09
Turns out he was also the chosen of Gigas, which I have a lot of
0:13
questions about, but I'm not going to lie, I was a little
0:16
distracted by my new outfit. These runes on my shirt are
0:19
fucking crazy. And there was that whole thing
0:22
in The Cave. I don't know why everyone freaks
0:24
out every time I touch a weird rock.
0:25
Feels like you guys should just expect that by now.
0:31
The multiversal cognitive. OK, so after after leaving The
0:59
Cave after this, the shadowy mist clears.
1:03
It's still pretty early in the morning.
1:07
Where's Sino maps taking us, Gynon?
1:10
Where is Sino maps taking us Gynon?
1:12
We'll just like snap to whatever direction it means that we're
1:15
supposed to be going to say. Fucking hate this feature.
1:17
This was a bad update. It was when Brutus touched your
1:21
head. You know, before that you're on,
1:23
like you're on, like free roam. Now you're on.
1:25
Like now you're on. True North.
1:27
Mode. Yeah.
1:29
So you're able to keep following the path as you are going up
1:33
through the mountains. It's it's a pretty quiet trek.
1:37
There's not too much going on. We off camera, we went through
1:43
just like a quick training session.
1:44
So I guess what does that look like?
1:47
How are how are you guys training as you're walking
1:50
walking this path? I think Brick is taking the time
1:54
to work with Nightshade Sprigotito to practice some
1:57
moves, learn new things, maybe fight a couple of random wild
2:01
Pokémon in the way just to get his confidence up a little bit
2:05
because he was a nervous little guy when we saw him first.
2:09
Yeah, and I think with with bricks being able to help and
2:13
to, you know, to step in to make sure that Nightshade doesn't
2:16
take too much damage there you see, Nightshade begins to kind
2:20
of break out of a shell. What did you change the nature
2:25
to? Naughty.
2:27
Yeah. So I think as as Nightshade kind
2:30
of starts feeling more comfortable, especially, you
2:32
know, outside the poker ball with with Brutus, you can see
2:36
that, you know, Nightshade at one point kind of like jumps up
2:40
into your pack and like grabs, grabs like a Berry out of there
2:44
before you're before you're able to do anything.
2:48
Nightshade is just like chowing down.
2:51
Oh, looks like he finally came out of his shell a little bit.
2:54
Bonus bonus for him, that's a bonus.
2:57
He's very timid. When we first met, yes, I think
3:01
when I'm training both Sven and Ellie, I'm having like Sven do
3:08
like basic strength training. So I'm having him run ahead and
3:12
then like run like 100 meters ahead until we get up to him.
3:16
He's got to do like sit ups and push ups and squats and shit.
3:20
And then I'm having LED like proper ninja training.
3:25
So if it's like vantage points above on the mountain face, like
3:30
next to us, I'm like, right, that's telling Ellie like she
3:32
has. He has to like jump and traverse
3:37
but remain hidden. And like every now and again,
3:39
I'm wanting to surprise Mick might come out of nowhere and
3:42
make sure I don't detect him when I'm doing it.
3:46
Yeah. And I think as as the day goes
3:48
on, Ellie gets better and better at this.
3:50
And by by the end of the afternoon, as you're getting as
3:55
you're getting closer to as you're getting like closer to
3:59
civilization, you're starting to see some more people.
4:01
You actually notice Ellie like doing this kind of hide in the
4:04
Bush. Ellie jumps out and actually
4:06
like startles some, you know, some passers by as you're as
4:09
you're going on. And Ellie looks very amused that
4:13
she was able to to take care of that and and do that.
4:17
Nice Guynan, what's your training look like during the
4:21
day? So Guynan has Kevin the
4:23
Sprigatito out. He's just sleeping on the top of
4:25
her oversized backpack while she and Joshua are just like, trying
4:29
to run up ahead of the group and like, scrounge around in the
4:32
bushes and like, the rocky areas looking for more cool fucking
4:37
rocks. And she's essentially just
4:39
building up Joshua's strength because she's making him do all
4:43
of the digging. OK, roll me two D6 just straight
4:48
up. I just want to see what happens.
4:51
That is an 8. That's an 8.
4:54
OK, so near the end of the day, Joshua is having himself.
4:59
He's having a great time, You know, just digging.
5:01
There's certainly like a trail of holes that are left unfilled,
5:06
small little divots, like perfectly sized enough for
5:09
somebody to, like, get their foot caught in and, you know,
5:12
fall flat on their face, break their ankle real nice, real
5:14
nice, you know, passing hazard. But near the end of the day,
5:19
Joshua comes back to you after digging a hole holding a like a
5:25
small stone tablet in his maw. Joshua, buddy, what is this?
5:33
He smiles as he like drops it at your feet.
5:37
And Guy Nim is just gonna grab it and pick it up and inspect
5:41
it. She's very excited.
5:42
This is even better than that creepy Blackstone that she
5:45
wasn't allowed to take with us earlier.
5:47
Yeah, this tablet, as you kind of dust it off, you see that
5:52
there is a poem on it, and it's definitely, definitely older.
5:57
It's like going back and trying to read like, you know, written
6:00
English from like the 1700s. So like, it's mostly legible.
6:05
It takes you a second, but like it is mostly legible.
6:08
The span of the dealer, they break the wheel.
6:12
Brother and sister, the death will be caused.
6:15
Now they return, hurried in its own demise.
6:20
The void will then swallow all that remains.
6:24
A new arrow will be borne from the shadow, moulded, crafted,
6:29
curated carefully. So only with true sacrifice can
6:35
war be thwarted. I feel like I've heard this
6:39
before. Yes, this seems fine.
6:42
I'm not worried about this. Oh, I've not heard Clyde's not
6:50
heard this, but. Gynan is very put off.
6:55
I think she knows exactly what this is and she does not.
6:58
She's not pleased that this is what this this says.
7:01
She wanted something cool, not something ominous and
7:04
depressing. Joshua looks up expectantly at
7:09
you. She gives him a reluctant little
7:12
pat on the head, because she knows he's done a good job and
7:15
this is the sort of thing that she wants him to be finding, But
7:17
this particular thing is not pleasing to her, especially with
7:23
the weird punctuation and spelling and capitalization.
7:26
She doesn't like that this is not correct.
7:29
He is fully rolled over on his belly, doing like the the please
7:32
hands. Yes, yeah, she's giving him full
7:36
belly scritches now. She's set the little stone
7:40
tablet down on the side and she's kneeling on the ground on
7:42
her boxers and her I'm with stupid shirt and is giving her
7:45
crocodile belly rubs. Joshua is very happy.
7:52
So after spending the day walking and training and digging
7:56
holes in the road, you guys come to a nice clearing where it
7:59
looks out of the way enough to where you could probably set up
8:03
camp for the night. You're still a little far away
8:07
from here to be to the point where you you wouldn't be able
8:11
to make it until probably you kept walking like you know, 2:00
8:15
AM and nothing good happens after dark.
8:20
We should make camp for the night.
8:22
Yeah, yeah, probably OK. Yeah, sound.
8:26
It'd be really great if one of us had a fire type Pokémon right
8:29
now because light in a fire just just does not seem like.
8:36
I've all those people to be able to light a fire.
8:39
Yeah, it's. All this like crazy wilderness
8:43
training. I can light a fire, but would it
8:47
not be? We've got Pokémon now, we may as
8:49
well utilize them. I can put out a fire.
8:52
Oh yeah, we don't need to put out a fire right now.
8:57
It's good. It's good.
8:58
I've got to go and find the wood.
9:00
I've got to make sure it's dry. I've got to set it up.
9:03
You know, if if I had a fire type Pokémon, I could dry any
9:06
wood and then throw it in a pile and it'll be fine now.
9:10
No, I've got to do organizational skills right.
9:13
You guys saw and I'm hearing a lot of talking and not a lot of
9:16
doing. Dinan zoned out like.
9:18
Three days ago, she's. Fully just listening to elevator
9:23
music in her head. I'm going to send Ellie and Spen
9:30
to collect firewood. Yeah, I think as Ellie and Spen
9:38
go into the into the brush, you hear a rustling from the other
9:43
side of the of the clearing that you're on.
9:50
I'll stand up and get into like a fucking karate fighting
9:53
stance. And I think as you do that, you
9:57
see, you see two people burst out of the the brush as soon as
10:01
they see you, Clyde, both of their faces go pale.
10:05
You recognize these guys and they both look at you and one of
10:11
them is just like kind of points at you, like shaky hand and he's
10:14
just like no, no, no, no, no, that's that can't be.
10:19
And the the other one just kind of grabs him as they're both
10:23
running away And you hear the other guy say, wait, I I wrote
10:27
down the pronunciation of this and I'm still going to fuck it
10:29
up. But he he wrote as they're
10:33
running away. He's just like, no I I thought
10:35
he disappeared. Or the Hemans jocks.
10:39
At that, Clyde just sits down, acts like nothing's happened,
10:43
just for people listening. All human tracks means the wrath
10:49
of the Sky Dragon. Nice.
10:52
And as he sat down, he's going to reminisce on the time he was
10:58
14 and he used to be a vigilante back in Stratford Stand camp
11:03
and. I want to take this and I want
11:06
to zoom out. You see, as with other
11:09
flashbacks, you see the sunset and the moonrise and we we zoom
11:14
out and we zoom back in onto the forest.
11:21
We see a 14 year old Clyde and his father's trusty Floatl
11:26
sprinting through the forest. Clyde, what do you and Floatl
11:30
look like as you are this this vigilante?
11:34
Clyde has like a similar get up to what he's got on now, you
11:38
know, like a cloak and Rangers Leathers, but he's got like a a
11:43
bandana on as well around his face so nobody can see properly.
11:47
And he has he never normally like goes out the house with
11:51
like weapons, but now he has like 2 like he has like a bow
11:57
stuff on his back and then two like what similar?
12:00
I can't remember what they're called but the like the the
12:03
batons with like the the hand grip that come off the side that
12:07
money's waste and floats all just has like the old school
12:13
rubber fucking mask on it Looks like Swiper from Dora the
12:19
Explorer. Floatsal no.
12:23
Floating we. Have a theme, don't we?
12:28
So, Clyde, why don't you tell me what this job was supposed to be
12:33
and how it went horribly wrong? OK, So I think that a couple
12:40
days prior Clyde was at the market in Stratus Stratus and
12:45
camp and he overheard that like a group of bandits, like at the
12:50
pub that they like frequent that they were going to be taking on
12:54
like like stealing from like a travelling merchants like
12:59
convoy. And like I heard whether it was
13:01
going to go down South. Clyde went to take him on, You
13:06
know, I mean, like he takes floats all as like rich like
13:10
back up. He don't have floats all fight
13:12
because let's be honest, floats all seen enough shit in his
13:15
lifetime to to be fighting fucking random bandits on the
13:20
street. And I think everything is going
13:24
well at first. Clyde jumps out of a tree,
13:27
starts taking on these bandits. But then I think that OK, like 3
13:33
or 4 bandits come and throw poker balls out and all four of
13:39
them have ride ONS. Which is, you know, an
13:41
insurmountable wall for a 14 year old to to pass.
13:46
Sure. And Clyde just absolutely
13:49
fucking books it like like no man's Business and like even
13:54
Float. I feel like Floats all started
13:56
running before Clyde did. Like it's serious, if he gets
14:00
caught by one of them, he's fucked.
14:02
So it's just a bit. He doesn't want to get beat up
14:05
by these Pokémon. That's fair.
14:09
And so you and floats all are running and I think you and
14:14
floats all probably have some sort of like wordless like way
14:17
of communicating with each other as you know in situations like
14:20
these. Yeah, I feel like, I feel like
14:22
it's like a a body language and like a nod, nod and wink sort of
14:26
what you call it, like way of communicating.
14:31
So yeah, you, you nod to Floatl and you communicate to it that
14:38
you guys are going to run into the brush and you're going to,
14:42
you're going to lose them in the forest.
14:44
And you assume Floatl got the message as you take a sharp
14:49
right turn into some thick brush and you are running for a good
14:56
probably 15 seconds until you realize you, you kind of stop to
15:01
just see where you're at and you realize Floatl's not with you.
15:04
Oh. Shit, right, right.
15:09
The fucking shit up that I don't care about myself anymore.
15:12
I'm going to run back out onto onto the main road again and
15:16
start bucking it the way I was running.
15:18
So as you as you get back to the main road, you're able to hear
15:23
the voices of these bandits and you are able to hear Floatl as
15:28
you kind of stick your head like out, you notice that Floatl was
15:33
caught in a net. And you see these bandits and
15:37
these ride on are just kind of like standing above Floatl and
15:41
just kind of like, you know, looking all looking all
15:44
confident to themselves. Like, yeah, we got, we got us.
15:48
Does Floatl have a name or is it just known as like?
15:53
I don't know. No, I'm going to say no.
15:55
I feel like that he's not really been in battle before.
15:57
It's just like like a Master Splinter sort of thing.
16:00
You don't seem really out unless he's really needed.
16:03
I got it so I think these these bandits are just like so we
16:08
found the Pokémon behind all the humans drugs.
16:11
Well, if you're out there sky dragon, consider this your wings
16:18
being clipped right on horn drill.
16:23
Oh, right. OK, as I hear this, I am going
16:28
to do a couple of things. OK, first First things first,
16:33
I'm going to pick up some rocks. I feel like I've got pimp like
16:36
semi pinpoint accuracy with throwing objects from all the
16:39
training I've done. I'm going to aim at the temples
16:41
at the temple of of the trainers so they get knocked out and then
16:46
I'm going to jump in front of this ride on going to harm drill
16:51
floats all and I'm going to try and use my bow stuff to like
16:54
flip it as it's coming up. So you from the bushes, you pick
17:01
up these these rocks and you throw 123.
17:04
These trainers are out. However these ride on.
17:08
There's four of them. And as soon as you throw these
17:11
rocks, you see one of them is standing over this float sole.
17:15
The other one is kind of it has its its foot on the float sole's
17:21
like on its throat basically. And these other two ride on
17:26
before you were able to grab your bow staff, they just kind
17:29
of tackle you and you watch as this ride on uses horn drill on
17:36
Floatzel. And I think after that they're
17:44
they're all kind of happy with themselves.
17:46
This was this was what they had come to do.
17:49
And I think they pick up their trainers and they leave you and
17:55
Floatzel. Fuck this did not go to plan
18:05
right? I am going to go to float soul.
18:08
I'm going to check to see if float souls breathing.
18:12
You you kneel down and pull this net off a float soul.
18:17
You can see that the horn went right through its chest cavity.
18:23
You can see that it is. I don't even know if you would
18:26
call it breathing. It is not in good shape and I
18:31
think it looks up at you and it very weakly meets your eyes and
18:37
gives you a very slow nod and in your head you are just able to
18:42
hear. Not your fault.
18:48
Oh fuck, don't do this. Don't do this.
18:51
OK? I'm going to fucking rip the
18:53
amulet of requires her off my neck.
18:56
I am going to grip it tight enough to that my hand starts
19:00
bleeding and I'm going to offer a blood sacrifice to requires
19:05
her to save Floatzel because he's the only good thing I've
19:08
got. I'm going to pray and be like I
19:11
will do anything, and I mean anything I'll be.
19:14
I will be forever in your debt. Just save.
19:18
The save floats up. You hear, you hear a voice of
19:23
Requeza in your head, and you hear it say.
19:28
This is a lesson. Be smarter.
19:31
Oh. Fuck through.
19:34
Adversity, you gain strength, use it.
19:38
That is my blessing. And you just feel a a rush of
19:42
wind from behind you. Oh.
19:44
Fuck man cry fuck. Jesus Christ.
20:04
Survival training doesn't cover the holes through chest
20:07
cavities. No, this thing is like fully,
20:10
fully through. Did I get a good look at the
20:14
guy's faces? Did I get an awful look to be
20:17
able to remember the faces? Yes.
20:20
And OK, I am scheming all. Right.
20:24
And I think as you see Clyde bent over his father's floatl.
20:31
We zoom back out. We return to what is now a
20:35
roaring fire and you see Clyde once again.
20:42
You just see one tear like roll down Clyde's cheek, but he acts
20:48
like nothing's happening. Surnius's Antlers.
20:51
Man, that's pretty fucking dark. How long ago would you say it
20:55
was that? OK I'm going to wreck on
20:58
something. Can I have Ellie follow the two
21:00
people that saw me and shit themselves and ran away?
21:05
Yeah, I'll allow it. Yeah.
21:07
So I'm going to have her follow him follow them.
21:11
But yeah, as the as it comes back in, you see Clyde sat at
21:16
the fire and just a single tear rolls down his face if this.
21:24
Were the end of our life, would you still be there when the
21:27
world falls apart? Would you find me if this were
21:40
the end of our life? Would you still be there when
21:46
the world falls apart? Would you finally, the stars
21:52
burning out and the sun disappearing?
21:57
Would I be the one that you call at the end of it all?
22:21
He's going to start, he's just going to stand up and walk in
22:24
the direction they run off to meet Ellie.
22:28
Yeah, I think, I actually think what happened is so this only
22:33
happened in the span of maybe maybe 10 seconds and Ellie was
22:38
able to do this ninja training and jumped out in front of them.
22:42
Gave you just enough time to catch up to these two.
22:45
I'm going to beat the shit out of both of them.
22:49
Yeah, roll me two D6 plus tag. That's my good start 12/14.
22:58
OK. Are you trying to keep them
23:01
alive? Oh, I'm going to keep them
23:03
alive, but I'm going to maim them.
23:04
I'm going to make sure they can't walk and like break the
23:07
hands and do everything imaginable to make the life as
23:10
painful as possible, but it's just enough so they'll stay to
23:14
still live. OK, yeah, you, you beat these
23:17
two guys within an inch of their lives, and you very calmly walk
23:21
back to the fire. I just imagine he's like got
23:24
blood all over him and we. Heard just like ambient
23:28
screaming coming from the woods. I was going to say this, this
23:31
definitely was close enough to where Gaiden and Brutus
23:35
absolutely heard what was going on.
23:37
And while it's happening, Gaiden's just like, twiddling
23:39
her thumbs like so Brutus. Brutus is looking at kind of
23:44
like, should should we help him or stop him?
23:48
I'm not sure. I don't think we could, to be
23:52
honest. I guess you probably.
23:54
Could physically. But I would worry about what he
23:56
would do to you when you were asleep if you did so.
24:01
Probably better if we just, you know, let him do that.
24:11
Lyde comes back a few minutes later.
24:12
Yeah. Yeah, I'll sit down and be like
24:15
acting like nothing's happened, Clyde.
24:17
Great. Great to see.
24:19
You anybody hungry? I don't.
24:22
I don't know why. They were talking about the
24:23
wrath of the sky dragon. Who's that?
24:28
Also, Matt, has it been a full day since my I pulled my outfit
24:32
out of my backpack? It's been 18 hours. 18 OK.
24:38
Nearly there, nearly there. Nearly there all right, So as
24:42
the as the evening goes along, you guys are able to kind of sit
24:46
down without much more interruption, you know, make
24:49
make some dinner, set up camp and get a little comfy.
24:54
I just imagine in the background every now and again you just say
24:56
like 1 pained grunt from one of the people in the.
24:59
Distance like groans, screaming in the woods guy and it is just
25:03
like curiously pretending like it's not happening.
25:09
Should we assist? I'm.
25:12
Way nature is nature is really loud tonight, yeah.
25:18
Yeah, Oh wow, those Pokémon, they make some weird sounds.
25:23
Sure do. This is nice, guys.
25:25
This is so nice. I don't fear for my life at all.
25:29
Good, but I don't know why you would.
25:31
Yeah, I nothing. So later on in the evening the
25:37
moon is now up and as you guys are sitting talking Brutus you
25:43
are mid sentence when in the distance you hear the the shrill
25:48
cry of a braviary. Not that braviary, just a
25:53
braviary, but they sound similar enough to where you can tell.
25:58
What it is another one? Another what?
26:03
Another one of those demons we saw in the darkness.
26:07
Clyde stands up and cracks his knuckles.
26:09
Not for fuck's sake. I think it's safe out here.
26:18
It's not coming for us. It would have been if it was
26:21
going to. Clyde sits back down.
26:23
Would you like to elaborate? I suppose I probably should.
26:31
Several months ago I lost my partner mix.
26:36
And we, yeah, we see the scene starts like rippling until it
26:41
comes back. And I think we see Brutus and
26:48
Mix now in my champ back-to-back in the middle of a crowd of, of
26:54
Pokémon that are, that are all darker than normal, have glowing
27:00
red eyes and are just coming at them.
27:02
But Brutus and Mix fighting back-to-back, just punching and
27:06
kicking and just absolutely being tanks.
27:10
Yeah, they're, I mean, they're signing each other up for
27:13
punches. You know, Machamp's got 4 arms,
27:16
so it's punching basically every direction that Brutus doesn't
27:20
exist and they're just holding these things off.
27:24
Yeah, and you see, you see this like shadowy Weevile jump out at
27:29
you, Prudus from your blind side.
27:31
But a fist very quickly sends it flying and you look back and Mix
27:36
is Mix just quickly nods at you before going back to what he was
27:39
doing. Oh yeah, yeah, no, no doubt that
27:42
was not going to be an issue. As as you guys are fighting
27:46
this, you see in the sky this Titanic beast of a of a bird
27:53
Pokémon again same thing this dark almost black glassy body,
27:58
these glowing eyes. And I mean, you know, every time
28:01
it flaps its wings, you and mix both struggle to keep your
28:06
footing and it just looks at you and says.
28:09
You fought well, but this? Is where you die.
28:15
So I I I think mix grabs like this last, I don't know, like a
28:21
sand troop jumping at it and just fucking hurls it off into
28:24
the distance and Brutus and mix sort of face off on this giant
28:30
bird and not good mix. We need to get out of here.
28:35
I don't think we can take that one.
28:37
So mix and the shadow Lugia basically clash in a fight that
28:45
so the the Lugia hits it with, you know, a like a like an arrow
28:48
blast sends mix flying. He recovers off a tree and flies
28:52
back, grabs it by the wings and slams it into the ground and
28:56
ground and pound gets away. Psychic blast.
28:58
It's not going well. I mean, this is a shadowed
29:02
legendary creature. And I think as you, you and mix,
29:08
you know, I think this first arrow blast Brutus, it kind of
29:11
sends you flying back you your head, your head hits a tree and
29:16
you see spots for a second. It takes you a second to get up
29:19
as you're watching this. And after this one, kind of, you
29:23
know, this, this second or third psychic blast that hits, that
29:27
hits mix, he kind of slides back and he does that cool like hero
29:32
pose where he has like 3 arms ready to go, both feet.
29:35
And then his fourth fist kind of on the ground sliding back
29:39
towards you. He looks at you and he he
29:43
motions over to the path that you guys came, that you guys
29:46
came from. Yeah, Brutus, he's just, he, he
29:52
looks and he understands and he knows that there's really not a
29:55
whole lot he can do about it at the moment because he's just a
29:58
man, no matter how strong he is. And he goes, give him hell mix
30:03
as he turns and runs. And I I had this cool vision of
30:07
mix like he jumps up seismic tosses the loogie into the
30:11
ground, jumps down with two of his arms on each wing just like
30:14
basically holds him into a body press long enough for Brutus to
30:17
get away. And as Brutus is running, he
30:19
looks back over his shoulder and he sees this Lugia get free and
30:22
just hit him with a psychic blast that.
30:24
Yeah, I so I imagine you are, you're fighting like in in kind
30:30
of like like a Canyon I'm imagining and you guys are like
30:33
on the top of the Canyon. You see, you see mix do this,
30:37
this like seismic toss, like circling Corkscrew.
30:41
Lugia hits the ground head first.
30:44
You see as as you're running away, it flashes back to mix,
30:48
and you see mix very slowly and shakily get up to its feet as
30:53
the Lugia shakes itself off and flaps its wings back up.
30:58
And the last thing that you see Brutus as you're running away is
31:02
this final blast of just an immense amount of psychic
31:06
energy. I think the psychic blast was so
31:08
big that it knocked Brutus out even though it was so far away,
31:12
so he didn't so he didn't see him until he woke back up later.
31:15
I imagine it was it was like the power of like a mini, like a
31:18
mini nuke almost. And I think when Brutus wakes
31:23
up, Louie is gone. He sprints over to the the edge
31:27
of the Canyon and in the morning sun, he just sees nothing.
31:32
Yeah. The Mary said me to smoke in God
31:44
the sweetest softest killer eat it for everyone hurt in love
31:51
with you. I'm looking up to the stars and
32:00
tell me what to do. God knows it's the ancient Lord
32:06
whispers it takes 2 he's my scarlet letter.
32:11
Hell forever, my vendetta said help me not forever, but only in
32:17
the fairest weather. It pulled me out there, called
32:22
me at just the right time Is it got stronger.
32:27
I started losing my mind. But if you asked me if I do it
32:34
again, I'd tell you, baby, there's nothing to worry.
32:38
It's so better than my desperado.
32:43
I'll be a whiskey baby. Stone cold.
32:47
Oh, Mother Mary, save me. It's a smoking God.
32:54
The sweetest, softest killer. It ain't for everyone, honey.
33:00
Love a thriller. Oh holy water, make me clean
33:06
again. Open up my heart and release
33:11
this man. It's gonna hold on me.
33:15
Only thing that makes me crazy. My enemy.
33:19
My friend told me I had to stand.
33:25
There's nothing worse better than life.
33:42
I'll be whiskey babies.
33:55
Don't call or more than Mary. Save me to smoke and guide.
34:23
So in conclusion, I need to kill a God.
34:28
Oh, is that all? Pretty much.
34:34
At least we know you didn't murder Mix now.
34:37
Yeah, me and Guy were quite worried about that.
34:39
I. Was getting really sick of you
34:41
accusing me of killing my best. Friend, we had never said
34:43
anything to your face about it and it was a private worry and
34:46
I'm sorry. I would like to apologize from
34:49
the bottom of my heart for having any doubts about what you
34:53
did or didn't do to your Pokémon.
34:56
I'm sorry that happened, Brutus. I am.
35:00
I am also sorry. I don't know how you're going to
35:05
kill a God though. He looks at Brick.
35:09
We'll get him. The the the the tiny squirrel is
35:14
gonna. This is why kill a train, Clyde.
35:17
This is why we train. This is why we don't.
35:20
Take our small Pokémon and go directly to the 9 Hells.
35:24
Hey man, I got thought to throw hands and take beat him and
35:27
that's about it like. Yeah, I'm strong, but I'd rather
35:32
smart. Fight smart.
35:34
That's an option? What?
35:38
Kainan is once again cradling her head in her hands.
35:43
Bro I my dad sent me off and was like use the skills I have
35:47
taught you my son and you will find the right way in the world.
35:50
I just thought I was a Dick. We've we've covered this, yes,
35:55
my fault was that I was just going to go to 9 Hells.
35:59
I was just going to throw some hands with some demons that's
36:02
going to find WEF. I was going to smack the shit
36:04
out of her and I was going to come home, be a hero and be
36:07
hailed as a hero. But now you tell him I have to
36:10
use my brain. Usually Clyde's going to look at
36:25
you could. Yeah, yeah, great.
36:28
Thank you for asking. So good.
36:31
Those were both very dark stories guys.
36:33
I am sorry about everything that's happened to both of you.
36:38
Wow. It is what it is.
36:44
I don't, I don't know how to respond to that in a way that's
36:48
healthy. I just, I just want you to know
36:51
I'm here for you and I'm worried about you and.
36:56
Big priest, fam. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:07
I play Clyde and I'm worried about him.
37:13
You did this to you. Honestly, why did I make in
37:18
multiple? Ways you did this to you?
37:20
Why did I make all three of my cards?
37:23
It's just emotionally damaged to men.
37:27
I don't know, man. We're working through some shit.
37:28
Don't worry about it. Yeah.
37:31
You don't want to know what I'm working through with Gainen.
37:35
Speaking of Gainen, Riley told me that she had a story she
37:42
wanted to tell. That's worked so well.
37:44
That's all I got, and I'm so glad you're going third again.
37:49
Gaiden's going to clap our hands together and be like, So on the
37:54
back end of those depressing stories, I'll tell you a less
37:59
depressing story. It's really funny.
38:01
It's my most embarrassing moment.
38:02
This normally makes people laugh.
38:05
So this will fix us I think as a group.
38:09
Can't fix what's not broken. Yes.
38:21
And I think with that, we find Gynan and her family walking
38:26
down the main road in in Kirkabe, which I don't think
38:31
either of you would be too familiar with.
38:33
But it is the religious capital of our beautiful Norse Sino
38:38
land. And I think they're in a sort of
38:40
a higher end district. I don't quite know what they've
38:43
been doing. Maybe God could shed some light
38:46
on that. Sorry, Arceus could shed some
38:48
light on that. By they like the whole family
38:52
like what do we? Yeah, yeah.
38:54
OK, yeah. So this is you.
38:58
You often you and your dad and your mom and your brother, you
39:03
guys every now and again you'll go out into town.
39:05
And I think you guys are, you would think that with all of the
39:12
like, with all the money that your family has, you would think
39:17
that the people of Kirkeby would welcome them with open arms.
39:20
But usually people stay quite far from your little group.
39:26
Yeah. And Gaiman's never quite
39:27
understood why. I mean, she's, you know, getting
39:31
old enough to understand, but I think, you know, she's only
39:33
like, 14 right now when we find her.
39:37
And that's not quite old enough to understand the atrocities or,
39:40
you know, anything overwhelming that her family is is
39:44
responsible for. And they typically just stay at
39:48
their Manor drag song and they don't really leave unless they
39:53
need something from someone. And, you know, her mother
39:57
brought brought the whole family into Kirkaby, which is, you
40:00
know, an unusual occurrence for all four of them to go together.
40:03
Typically, at least someone is is back of the Manor.
40:06
But this was nice. It was supposed to be a family
40:09
vacation. Yeah, and I think 11 reason why
40:14
you don't go out as a family is because of your little brother
40:19
Axel. So as as you guys are like
40:22
walking down the road, how old would you say Axel is at this
40:26
point in time? Probably like 10-9 or 10.
40:31
Ten. OK.
40:32
I think Axel is just, like talking to your mom.
40:37
And he's just very like, among other things, he is a
40:42
tattletale. And so I think he is you.
40:46
You hear him kind of, you know, he tugs on your mom's sleeve and
40:50
he's just like, well, did you know that the other day I caught
40:56
Gynan in the kitchen sneaking sweets?
40:59
What are you going to do about it?
41:02
Gynan really, really wants to smack him upside the back of the
41:05
head, but she just knows that he'll tattle on her again.
41:08
And she's like physically restraining herself from beating
41:11
the shit out of this little asshole of the streets of
41:14
Kirkaby in front of all these priests.
41:18
And your mom is just like Axel. Not now.
41:21
I'll deal with it when we get home or whatever.
41:23
I, I don't know, not now. I'm mommy's busy.
41:27
She's looking at stuff. And you see your dad.
41:31
You can tell that if it was possible for your mother to to
41:35
have favorites, I guess Axel would be the favorite, but I
41:40
don't really think she likes kids.
41:42
Yeah, I mean, she definitely doesn't like kids.
41:45
The fact that she has 2 is really an accident and is not
41:50
not something that she intended to have happen, but here we are.
41:54
But absolutely, it's definitely the favorite.
41:56
I mean, he's good at stuff in a way that Gynan's not good at
41:59
stuff. Gynan's odd and Axel is
42:03
charismatic and likable, other than the fact that he's a
42:05
fucking tattletale and a little bitch.
42:08
Not only that but Axel is especially competent at Pokémon
42:14
training to the point where as a 10 year old he has like 3
42:19
Pokémon, two of which have evolved.
42:23
And I think because Axel is such a prodigy, I think got in your
42:30
dad gravitates more towards you. Because.
42:34
He's just kind of like a he's he's just kind of like a regular
42:37
dude. He's definitely the kind of guy
42:39
who's like, well, I very easily could have just fucked off.
42:42
But like, I love you and I guess I love Axel, so I'm here.
42:47
And so I think he looks down and he's just like Axel.
42:50
We don't need to tattle tale. I told Guynan to go get herself
42:55
an extra an extra sweet from the kitchen because she's had a hard
42:59
day and I think Axel is just like Gynan wouldn't know a hard
43:04
day if it cracked her in the back of the head.
43:07
What does she even do? She just sits around she she
43:10
doesn't even have Pokémon. I have 4 of them. 3 bitch.
43:14
No. Sorry language.
43:17
I'll have you know that the other day I was out in the Manor
43:21
and I caught myself another Pokémon.
43:24
Would you catch Axel? Well I could tell you but you
43:27
wouldn't even know what it is. Can you even name like 4
43:30
Pokémon? That's because it's not real,
43:32
Axel. You're just making it up to try
43:35
and seem better than you are. You don't have to show me up.
43:38
Mom already knows you're better than me at this.
43:41
And I think that is like the one thing where Axel is like he's,
43:47
he doesn't know what to do when you hit him with that like self
43:50
deprecation. He's just like, like, no, that's
43:54
that's my job to do now. No, you, you, you took that away
43:57
from me. And I think he, like you break
43:59
his brain for a second and your mom just kind of looks down and
44:03
is like, Axel, can you just please, for the love of
44:08
Archaeus, shut the fuck up for two seconds.
44:14
I don't care at this moment. I don't care about how many
44:18
Pokémon you have or you've caught, real or fake.
44:22
I had a long night and my head is pounding and Axel just kind
44:27
of like crosses his arms and he's just like, you have a long
44:30
night every night. It kind of like kicks the
44:32
ground. And Guyana gets up behind him,
44:35
attempting to taunt him, and she's not watching where she's
44:38
going at all. Yeah, and I think Axel flips
44:43
around. He he senses your presents and
44:45
he's about to like, shove you until Guynan.
44:50
You look down and you have been standing over an open manhole
44:55
for for a few seconds now. Yeah, left leg goes in, right
45:00
leg stays up. And you know, dinner runs
45:03
through a girl real fast when she's scared.
45:06
It's it's a bad scene. It's a real bad scene.
45:09
It's just it's everywhere. It's everywhere and we're in
45:13
public and they already they don't like us here in town and I
45:19
don't know where I'm going to get a new pair of pants and why
45:24
does this keep happening to me? And I think at this point it
45:29
just all chaos breaks loose and Axel just starts.
45:33
He's falling on the ground laughing.
45:36
And your mother is just like, dear fucking God, can we have
45:40
one family outing where we don't have bodily fluids all over
45:46
multiple of us. And you see, you see, Gannon's
45:49
dad just trying to like, like, oh, oh, dear.
45:52
OK. Gannon is half in, half out of
45:55
the manhole, sobbing uncontrollably.
45:58
Oh, oh, child. OK, hang on.
46:02
I'll, I'll, I'll be right back. And he runs over to like, the,
46:06
the nearest like, store. And you see, you see a couple of
46:09
priests that are just like walking by and, you know, these,
46:12
I mean, these are priests of like, all different kinds of
46:14
faiths Here could be is the place where everybody gets
46:17
together to, you know, to come together and to pray and to
46:20
discuss. So everybody's like, very
46:23
tolerant. But these two priests, one of
46:26
them is wearing like the ceremonial robes of Requesa and
46:29
one of them is wearing the ceremonial robes of 1/2 is
46:34
Dialga, 1/2 is Palkia. As they are the two brothers,
46:36
they're kind of like one religion.
46:38
So, you know, they're they're having like a nice lively chat
46:41
and one of them just kind of like sniffs and like scrunches
46:43
his nose and looks at this fucking scene.
46:47
And they both just kind of like turn up their nose and they're
46:50
just like, of course it would be them.
46:53
Why do they keep coming here? And Gaiden attempts to fish
46:57
herself out of the manhole. And as you are pulling yourself
47:01
out of the manhole, we we ripple back into the into the fire
47:06
here. My hands, my heart gets too
47:29
heavy 'cause I just wanna shout. I can't figure.
48:13
And Gynan claps her hands. Right, guys?
48:15
So funny. Well, on the plus side, this one
48:22
at least had some symmetry with the lack of pants.
48:26
Yes. Are you OK?
48:32
Yeah, I'm great. That was like top five best
48:35
family outings. Are you fucking kidding?
48:40
I'm going to look at Brutus and be like, I thought I thought my
48:44
family outings were bad, but shitting yourself in a manhole
48:47
cover, like falling through a manhole cover and shitting
48:50
yourself being one of the top five doesn't seem like.
48:54
Yeah, that's. And why was your mum being a
48:58
bitch? Like you just fell through a
49:00
hole and like. Oh, she was hungover.
49:03
She's just, she's always hungover.
49:06
That's like her thing. That same my dad was always
49:10
hungover. We've got something in common.
49:12
Hey, kind of tries to high 5 Clyde.
49:16
It was just too far. Like Clyde looks at his hand.
49:20
Clyde looks at his hand, and he's still covered in blood.
49:22
And he goes, yeah, maybe not. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
49:27
That's that's fine. That's fine.
49:30
Are you sure you're OK? Like.
49:32
Yeah, that was supposed to lighten the mood.
49:34
Guys like you both told really depressing stories.
49:37
I told the funny one. It was funny, but the face you
49:42
made what you know what we were telling that story it you could
49:44
tell it was pain. Like your dad seems like a cool
49:49
guy. You went and bought your pants,
49:51
your little brother and your mum, right Dick heads.
49:54
Yeah, I mean, Axel's kind of a kind of a little shit, but, you
49:58
know, he's he's my he's my little brother.
50:00
So I care about him. He seems very punchable.
50:06
Yes, that's the word. He's very punchable.
50:12
I think as you guys are discussing, you hear footsteps
50:16
coming down the path, not through the bushes, but just
50:19
like out in the open through the same kind of path that you took
50:24
to get to this clearing from the main road.
50:26
And Guynan, you recognize this guy immediately.
50:29
He is one of the like careers of drags home and he's wearing
50:35
like, he's wearing like a tunic that has like the the colors of
50:42
drags home on it and he's wearing this like we like the
50:45
beret thing. Oh yeah, yeah, my mom makes him
50:48
wear this dumbest little fucking outfit.
50:52
Like a like a medieval times bugle boy and he.
50:56
Has the short pantaloons too. Like they're really short.
51:00
They're like mid thigh pantaloons.
51:02
He's like the medieval version of a pool boy for my mom.
51:05
And he has like the the jester shoes that like Jingle when he
51:09
walks. Brutus sees this guy and he
51:12
looks like Clyde goes. Is this another one of the guys
51:14
you're going to beat up? I might join you on this one.
51:17
No, but it looks like he needs a punch.
51:21
Whoever let him the house like that also needs a punch.
51:26
He Clyde, he just stares you right in the eye and he's just
51:30
like more than you know. Then he just sighs very deeply,
51:35
pulls out a scroll and unfurls it and he's just like.
51:41
Yeah, before he even speaks, Dinan is like, visibly
51:44
grimacing. Like Viola, she knows it's going
51:49
to be bad. The Duchess of Greg's home
51:54
requests the presence of one dining Brutus and Clyde at the
52:00
Mistress's Manor tomorrow afternoon.
52:05
For. She didn't say what for but she
52:08
told me that it was important. And no like rolls up the scroll,
52:15
sticks it back and he's just like, they didn't even give me a
52:19
fucking Pokémon. I have to walk back.
52:21
She make you walk here in those shoes all the way with the
52:25
little jingly bells. Did they pay you?
52:28
No, I'm going to throw the the guy 50 pokey dollars.
52:33
Before you leave, I need a better pair of pants.
52:35
I'm taking yours. I'm going to stop her and be
52:40
like guy and you can't just take this guy's pants.
52:42
He's my you know what, Never mind.
52:46
I'm not gonna finish that sentence.
52:49
He just, he sighs, he Clyde, he just looks at you and he's just
52:54
like. I need this more than you know,
52:56
God. And he's just like, yes,
53:01
anything for the the junior mistress.
53:05
And he hands you his pants. No, I'm, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
53:10
spin round and look at Gynan and just feel like junior mistress.
53:16
And that's where we'll end our session.
