Guardians of Pokémon: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

''will soon arise and protect the world from a deadly force...'' }}

 

* [[The Archer]]: Ritchie

* [[Arc Fatigue]]: The "giving up as an April Fool's joke" is used, and the former [[Trope Namer]] [[Arc Fatigue|Are We Still On Namek]] [[In-Universe|is referenced]]:

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Lawrence III, villain of ''[[Pokémon: The Movie 2000|The Power of One]]'', shows up ''twice'', in the second movie and then {{spoiler|during [[The Climax]] of the Legendary Dogs arc}}.

** Make that three times; he returns near the end of {{spoiler|the Legendary Dogs arc}}.

** And Chapter 67 references the [[Dub Induced Plot Hole]] regarding Brock's mother.

** Chapter 74 finally brings it to its logical conclusion:

** Chapter 149:

** Another [[Dub Induced Plot Hole]] moment occurs when Gary and Green meet up in the tournament and Gary talks about "taking his name back".

* [[Can't Catch Up]]: At first, it looks like the Guardians are going to get their upgrades in the same order that they awakened, as Ash and Misty are the first two to receive their first upgrade. Then Sakura upgrades less than ten episodes after her debut, and Katana, who hadn't even awakened as a Guardian when Ash and Misty got their upgrades, becomes the fourth to upgrade during the first movie. By the time {{spoiler|Green}} finally gets upgraded to stage 2 in the third movie, Ash has already upgraded to stage 3.

* [[Courtroom Antics]]: Chapter 148, which ends with Cleavon Schpealbunk bursting in with one last '''HOLD IT!'''...and being arrested for bad moviemaking. This also fulfills the requirement that the episode right before a movie is always zany.

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Chapter 148:

* [[Crossover]]: Chapter 75 takes place in [[Digimon|the Digital World]] and heavily parodies the Pokemon-Digimon [[Fandom Rivalry]].

** The crossovers continue for awhile afterwards. The end of Chapter 75 has them seemingly ending up in the world of ''[[Monster Rancher]]'', and Chapter 76 is a "Strongest [[Shonen]] Tournament" in which Kai fights [[Ranma ½|Ranma Saotome]], [[Yu Yu Hakusho|Yusuke Urameshi]], and [[Dragonball Z|Son Goku]] in succession, and through a series of bizarre events, wins all three bouts without doing anything. Chapter 77 then has them in swordfights with the cast of ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'', with [[The Stinger]] sending them [[Inuyasha|through the well]].

** Chapter 97: "That is because my Kakuna have the power to make anything around them hard."

** Chapter 130: After being paralyzed by {{spoiler|Raikou's}} electric attacks...

{{spoiler|'''Pikachu:'''}} With your mallet... }}

** Same chapter, after Todd [[Incredible Shrinking Man|shrinks]] Peanut in order to rescue him (putting him in his pocket):

'''Brock:''' ...I was talking about the person, Peanut. }}

** Chapter 135: "We can't carry them out of here [[Taken for Granite|stoned!]]

* [[Fan Service]]: [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1771556/34/Guardians_of_Pokemon If you can't take the heat...]get naked.

** In [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1771556/82/Guardians_of_Pokemon the Tenchi crossover chapter:]

'''Washu''': *looks at him for a minute* Yes. }}

* [[Festival Episode]]: 100th episode special!

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Dash, being attacked by a wild Poochyena, yells at it, "[[Macbeth|Out, damned spot!]]" Who knew he was so cultured?

** Upon seeing [[An Ice Person|Jessie's]] [[Paper Fan of Doom|upgrade]]...

'''Misty:''' Cool! And let's see. That contributes to our mandatory pun of the day. }}

** After meeting Colonel Trey Nnnn:

*** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: There's actually a second pun in that name, one that might not have even been intended. Think about how his rank is abbreviated.

* [[Ineffectual Loner]]: Who else but Gary?

** On multiple occasions. When each Guardian goes to make a capture, they yell out "[type] Ball!" When Green, the ''Dragon'' guardian, does this, Misty asks, "Isn't that a copyrighted name?"

** Also, this A/N in chapter 102:

* [[Les Yay]]: [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1771556/54/Guardians_of_Pokemon Poor Katana]...it seems like she [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|really liked]] Katori...

** [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1771556/149/Guardians_of_Pokemon Oh yeah.] Most of the Guardians' wishes involved trying to make someone else like them, and based on previous chapters, Katana's unrequited love for Ritchie was one of the more serious cases. Instead, she says she'd use her wish to bring Katori back {{spoiler|from the side of evil.}}

* [[Reformed but Rejected]]: When Jessie and James awaken as Guardians, ''most'' of the other Guardians accept them immediately...but Misty is initially ''highly'' suspicious. And is mostly yelled at for it. (To be fair, everything she suspected Jessie and James would try to do, Meowth actually ''wanted'' to do. ''He'' never did a [[Heel Face Turn]]. Well, later he stopped being evil and just went along with them, because [[Nakama|they're a team, and they stick together.]] Then he got [[Put on a Bus]].)

* [[Relationship Upgrade]]: The [[Festival Episode]] brings plenty of the typical romantic legends...but surprisingly, the upgrade takes place elsewhere. {{spoiler|Namely, Mitsumi gets sick, and Gary is the only one that notices that she's fallen behind. He takes care of her...which eventually leads to taking ''[[Intimate Healing|care]]'' of her and then quickly (with the help of the lights suddenly going out) to ''really taking care of her''.}} And yet...

{{spoiler|'''Mitsumi:''' *nods* None of it.}} }}

* [[The Rival]]: This is how the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] views their Guardian counterparts. Interestingly, Green doesn't react so well to Hikaru's arrival...

'''Green:''' Heh! [[The Only One Allowed to Insult You|Only her true rival can call her a stupid tomboy!]] }}

* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]: In Chapter 114, "shirt" was accidentally rendered as "shit" at one point. Though Panda corrected this when it was pointed out to him, he engaged in a bit of self-parody by intentionally using "shirt" as an [[Unusual Euphemism]] for "shit" in the following chapter.

** [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl|Stoic Guy Energetic Girl]]: The [[Genki Girl|energetic]] Hikaru provides an interesting foil to the cold gunslinger Oki.

* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: In response to a review:

* [[Symbol Swearing]]: Col. Nnnn

* [[Taken for Granite]]: Everyone except Brock in Chapter 135.

* [[Truman Show Plot]]: Chapter 149, an ''[[Amazing Race]]'' parody.

* [[Try Not to Die]]: Chapter 129:

'''Green:''' Only if you do the same. }}

* [[Tsundere]]: Misty, of course.

* [[Unholy Matrimony]]: [[Big Bad|Guardia]] and [[The Dragon|Ayumi]], of the "pair of villains who were, from the beginning, a 'villainous couple'" variety. With a heavy dose of [[Psycho Supporter]] thrown in.

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: {{spoiler|Green's Dragon's Rage ability is powered by anger, so when Misty stops fighting with her, she loses her ability to transform.}}

* [[Unwanted Harem]]: Ash starts to develop one.
