Line 12:
* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: Not really ''all'' the powers, but Guardians often have to combine their powers to catch dual-type Pokemon. ''But not always'', as Panda reminds us every time a dual-type is caught by a single Guardian and reviews start complaining.
** Later, they ''do'' combine all of their powers for a super attack.
* [[Anti
** Oh yeah. Hikaru ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1771556/162/Guardians_of_Pokemon definitely]'' qualifies.
** Even Oki turns out to be fairly noble in Chapter 168.
Line 50:
* [[Cliff Hanger]]: Chapter 130 ends with {{spoiler|Ash}} apparently dead, caught in {{spoiler|Tin Tower}} as it burned to the ground. The following chapter adds more drama as Mitsumi's Spirit Revive doesn't work.
* [[Clothing Damage]]: Chapter 158.
* [[Cluster F
* [[Combination Attack]]: {{spoiler|Misty, Sakura and Pikachu}} have a combination attack called Triangle Storm. The circumstances behind it suggest that {{spoiler|Gary and Mitsumi}} might also be able to perform a combination attack.
** Dash and Chibi manage to unlock one, Grass Quake.
Line 69:
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: The topic as a whole is a bit grittier than the anime (although the biggest difference is that instead of being [[Bowdlerization|grounds for getting an episode banned]], guns are common here). However, within the confines of the story, the Puzzle University [[Arc]] is [[Conflict Ball|unusually grim]].
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Gary
** [[Bad Powers, Bad People|Toxic]] [[Subverted Trope|Is Not Evil]]: Ritchie.
* [[Death Is Cheap]]: [[Subverted]]; the Ghost Guardian has the power to revive the dead, but it uses so much energy that [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique|she can only use it four times before she becomes too weak to live.]]
* [[A Day in The Limelight]]: Chapter 53 focuses on Kai, as well as setting up his relationship with [[Recurring Character]] Kikara.
Line 97:
* [[Drinking Game]]: Invoked. Dash and Brock start one in Chapter 157.
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: Dash's weapon is a mallet, and Brock's is a sledgehammer.
* [[Dual
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Bugsy, again.
* [[Early Bird Cameo]]: Most of the OC Guardians (actually, anyone who wasn't in the original party except Jessie, James, and Chibi) awaken as Guardians either in their initial appearance or shortly thereafter, but {{spoiler|Katana}} appears multiple times before her awakening (though her name is not learned until right before she awakens.)
Line 111:
** [[Psychic Powers]]: Ash and Guardia
** [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway|What Kind Of Lame Power Is Bug Anyway]]: Todd and Shiga
** [[Light
** [[Dark Is Edgy]]: Gary and Ayumi
** [[Extra Ore Dinary]]: James and Butch
Line 128:
* [[Four Is Death]]: As mentioned above, the Ghost Guardian can only revive the dead a total of four times, at which point her life force will be completely drained.
* [[Freaky Friday Flip]]: After {{spoiler|the Guardians return from the land of lost souls}}, Green and Misty get flipped as a result of {{spoiler|Green intentionally taking Misty's body in order to get close to Ash.}} Ash and {{spoiler|Ritchie}} are the only ones who notice.
** [[It Got Worse|It Gets Worse]]. The next chapter, in the process of trying to fix the previous switch, they ''all'' end up in someone else's body. Naturally, Panda uses this to give the readers a puzzle, trying to figure out who ended up where. He also didn't give the answer key, although ''most'' of the correct answers can be found by reading the reviews, though the reviewer in question [[Self
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: {{spoiler|Bigu, ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|big]]-time''.}}
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: Sakura after her second upgrade.
* [[Fusion Dance]]: Latios and Latias become Lati@s (which due to the limitations of fanfiction.net had to be written as Latis; Panda explains the way it should have been in an A/N afterwards--because the @ symbol looks like an a inside an o, you see) in the third movie.
* [[Gender Bender]]: It wouldn't be Pokémon if Ash didn't end up in a dress at least once...except this time it's a true gender swap. Initially involuntary, but subsequently gets added to Ash's list of powers.
Line 146:
* [[Heroic Mime]]: Ash during the RPG portion of the Trapped In Video Game Land scenario {{spoiler|and for one episode thereafter.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Hero of Another Story]]:It's increasingly looking like the "Evil" Guardians aren't really evil after all. Also, there are going to be certain moments where the "Evil" Guardians are the ones who will have to capture certain Pokémon.}}
* [[Hey, You]]: Green calling Todd "bugboy" starts to become a [[Running Gag]] after awhile.
** Actually, Green does this to everyone. Todd is "bugboy", Ritchie is "brown-hair", Dash is "the idiot", Brock is "rockhead", Sakura is "gun girl", James is "antitwerp", {{spoiler|Pikachu}} is "blondie", Tracey is "arty", Chibi is "the kid", Katana is "cat", and of course, Misty is "that stupid tomboy".
* [[Hot Blooded]]: Falkner
Line 175:
** Also, this A/N in chapter 102:
{{quote| And... let's see... I'll try... to cut down... on... the... ellipses... I'll... try............................}}
* [[Les Yay]]: [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1771556/54/Guardians_of_Pokemon Poor Katana]...it seems like she [[Romantic Two
** [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.}}
** [[Foe Yay]]: [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1771556/150/Guardians_of_Pokemon Misty and Green].
Line 191:
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: Mitsumi, to {{spoiler|Gary. Only she's not so innocent...}}
* [[Meganekko]]: Mitsumi
* [[
* [[Minion Shipping]]: As of Chapter 154, it looks like Hikaru has a thing for Oki. It's [[The Stoic|unclear]] whether or not it's requited, but it seems to be.
* [[Moe]]: Chibi. It's even stated in the bios that as the youngest guardian, "she carries the obligation to be as cute as possible".
Line 203:
* [[Mysterious Past]]: It's never even really hinted at that {{spoiler|Mitsumi}} has one until it suddenly comes crashing down on h{{spoiler|er. Turns out she used to be a gang leader.}}
* [[Mysterious Waif]]: {{spoiler|Both Grass Guardians, Bigu and Chibi.}} Also Mitsumi.
* [[
** Mitsumi was also the name of a character from ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure]]''.
* {{spoiler|[[Nature Adores a Virgin]]: [[Subverted]]; Green [[The Ladette|talks a big game]], but when Misty tries to trick her into agreeing to switch back by using Green's body to commit all sorts of vile and/or immoral acts, she breaks down crying, begging for her body back before Misty "defile[s] it any further" and eventually admits she's a virgin and that she's somewhat envious that Misty and Ash have already done it.}}
Line 215:
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: James.
* [[Older Alter Ego]]: Chibi, after awakening as the Grass Guardian.
** Also {{spoiler|Pikachu's "Thunderstone Evolution"}} technique temporarily gives her a mature {{spoiler|"Raichu"}} form...but when it's used up, she reverts to a {{spoiler|"Pichu"}} form that's even younger-looking than ''[[Token Mini
* [[One
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Maintained as long as they're in their own world...but when they get into the string of [[Crossover|crossovers]], [[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|all bets]] [[Naruto|are off]].
* [[The Only One Allowed to Insult You]]: Green gets mad at Hikaru for using the exact same insults that she normally uses towards [[Tomboy|Misty]].
Line 251:
* [[The Scrappy]]: Dash is treated like one in-universe, which Mr. Panda says is to make him loved by the fans. For the more conventional scrappy, we have one of the show's scrappies, Ritchie.
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: [[Lupin III|Nipul]], in the anime crossover arc.
** [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Somewhere in between his arrival and his true identity being revealed, his alias changes to Nupil.
* [[Sentai]]: Probably the best description of what the Guardians are.
** Mr. Panda actually addresses this in the A/N after chapter 13, though he states that he never actually watched ''[[Power Rangers]]'' and the transforming aspect was more inspired by ''[[Sailor Moon]]''.
Line 264:
*** It also ends with Green getting her item...[[Dragonball|an orange orb.]]
* [[Showing Off the New Body]]: Variation; it's not another person's body being flaunted, but [[Older Alter Ego|a more mature version of her own.]]
* [[Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids]]: {{spoiler|Green}} apparently wanted to be a superhero as a kid, before being [[Break the Cutie|broken]] and turned into the [[Grumpy Bear|grumpy]] [[Jerkass]] we're all used to. Well, this is heavily implied, anyway.
* [[Simple Staff]]: Ash's scepter; Misty's rod
* [[Soap Opera Disease]]: Dragon's Rage
* [[Something About a Rose]]: Chibi's [[Petal Power|weapon]].
* [[Something They Would Never Say]]: Green catches on that the Misty they're seeing is a fake when she quickly and ''casually'' gives the correct answer when Green asks "What is my name?"
* [[Star
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: {{spoiler|Mitsumi, as a result of Mako's death.}}
** And Gary, after {{spoiler|Mitsumi leaves}}, although it's really the result of [[Demonic Possession|Ghostly Possession]].
Line 280:
* [[That Was Objectionable]]: Being a parody of the already over-the-top ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' series, it was bound to happen eventually in Chapter 148. Mitsumi objects to the entire trial when Blight goes too far over the top trying to frame Gary for some sort of crime.
* [[Theme Naming]]: {{spoiler|The M Gang: Mitsumi, Mirei, Miki, Mic, Mike, and Mako}}
* [[Token Mini
** Later joined by {{spoiler|Pikachu}}...maybe. Her [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|debut]] suggests that she's old enough to [[A Worldwide Punomenon|tit]]illate the likes of Dash and Brock, but in chapter 128, she laments her "somewhat preteen body" and feels she won't be able to compete with the more-developed Green (and only a few chapters later, the [[Freaky Friday Flip]] happens and Misty remarks that Green is slightly flatter than she is, so...). {{spoiler|Her Pichu form goes beyond this, as she becomes a baby, although it doesn't last long.}}
*** Chapter 136 contradicts this, as when they try to figure out her age, Sakura says she looks to be about 16. Guess she's just flat.
* [[Tragic Villain]]: Any member of the Evil Guardians that wants to repent but is afraid to go against Guardia probably counts, but {{spoiler|Bigu}} is a particularly notable example due to spending much of the second half of the story [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|not committing any evil acts]] and hoping that Guardia won't notice that {{spoiler|she's forsaken her Evil Guardian duties in order to live a quiet life in Pallet Town with Mrs. Ketchum. Essentially, she's a more prolonged version of Molly from the third movie.}} Also Neriko, after she falls in love with Dash.
** Unfortunately for {{spoiler|Bigu}}, Guardia is the ''Psychic'' Evil Guardian--naturally he knows the truth.
* [[Trapped in TV Land|Trapped In Video Game Land]]: The end of chapter 106 has the Guardians sucked into a video game world as a result of Butch and Cassidy's machine. In order, we see Dash and Brock in a [[Platformer]] (specifically, a [[Super Mario Bros (Video Game)|Super Mario Bros]] parody), Sakura in a [[TPS|shooter]] (one with online multiplayer, at that), Chibi in a [[Rhythm Game]], Tracey in a [[Shoot
* [[Truman Show Plot]]: Chapter 149, an ''[[Amazing Race]]'' parody.
* [[Try Not to Die]]: Chapter 129:
Line 303:
** Chapter 136 looks like it's just going to be a light-hearted, "everybody gets drunk" chapter, which it is...up until [[Cliff Hanger|the end.]] The wham doesn't let up for three whole chapters.
* [[Whip It Good]]: Chibi after her second upgrade.
* [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?]]: "I do not understand your logic. Wouldn't it be more sensible to just kill the Guardians and leave {{spoiler|the dogs}} easy prey for ourselves?" Note that Oki is not responding to the use of an overly convoluted method of killing them, but rather to Electra's plan to [[Unwitting Pawn|let the Guardians lead them to]] {{spoiler|the Legendary Dogs.}}
* [[Wooden Katanas Are Even Better]]: Kai's weapon.
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: Guess which Pokémon they catch when they end up on the other side of the fourth wall. {{spoiler|Mr. ''Spinda''.}}
