Dr. Chaos: I don’t see how this is supposed to help you both prepare for your tag title match…
Mistress Discipline: It is simple, Chaos. Death Trap and I have been bonding while he has been away for Reign these last two months through the use of online gaming.
*The scene opens on a split screen. On the top left is Dr. Chaos wearing some beefy over the head headphones and holding two joy-cons, one in each hand. Top right is her teenage daughter holding a Switch Pro Controller and wearing an Eevee themed beret covering some Raycon earbuds. Bottom left is Death Trap wearing a Bluetooth headset and a shirt showing Magikarp in a pool looking sad next to a sign saying, “No Splashing.” He also has the pro controller. Bottom right is Mistress Discipline wearing a Mudbray necklace and using the Animal Crossing New Horizons joy-cons attached to the joy-con grip and with her phone posted off to the side to be involved in the discord group call, no headset.*
Mistress Discipline: Besides, your daughter asked us all to get together and enjoy this new game together. It is not my fault you did not take an interest in the latest game trends and ask your daughter beforehand.
Death Trap: That’s obvious, she chose Quaxly…
Dr. Chaos: HE IS A DUCK WITH A POMPADOUR! THAT IS ADORABLE!
Death Trap: …When that thing evolves you are going to be mad.
Sarah: SHINY!
*Sarah goes into hyper focus mode and appears to be catching a shiny LeChonk. Yes LeChonk, great name.*
Dr. Chaos: It’s just a different color, what’s the big deal?
Death Trap: Shinies are more rare and hence more valuable and fun to have. OH A DREEPY! That’s violet exclusive! I need it!
Dr. Chaos: Catch it in your own game! It’s cute, I want it!
Mistress Discipline: Death Trap got Scarlet so he and I could trade, but I have been too focused on perfecting my battle team. Much like my in ring strategy, I wish to excel at one thing and make sure everyone knows that I am a true threat.
Dr. Chaos: And that is?
Sarah: DOGS OF WAAAAAAR!
*Sarah leaps up as she yells this with a primal roar. Mistress opens her menu and shows off her team of all dog pokemon: Lucario, Arcanine, Dachsbun, Mabostiff, Houndstone, and Lycanroc.*
Dr. Chaos: THE PASTRY DOG IS BAE!
*Chaos sits down and begins to hyper focus on catching a Fidough. Sarah chuckles and engages Mistress in a friendly battle. She sends out a slightly higher level Lucario, Mistress sends out Houndstone.*
Death Trap: Houndstone is like me, a versatile and strong pokemon best saved as the anchor. He has a move that is better as your team goes down.
Mistress Discipline: Death Trap, that is not quite the same as us. We are a unit. And neither one of us goes down.
Dr. Chaos: FOR SHAME!
*Mistress looks over her shoulder (clearly the three ladies are in the same hotel suite. DT tugs at his collar*
Death Trap: What I mean is, I am a loyal, reliable wrestler. Someone you can call on when your need is the greatest.
*A shadow claw quickly ends Houndstone … Mistress raises an eyebrow. Sarah snickers. Arcanine is in … Earthquake … Arcanine is down. MD huffs in anger.*
Mistress Discipline: Yes well I suppose it is always good to be able to adapt when the chips are down. Unlike my gaming ability, my in ring ability is much more multi-faceted. OH NOW DOES THIS POKEMON HAVE A MOVE FOR MY ENTIRE TEAM!?
Sarah: METEOR MASH!!!!!
*Dachsbun and Lycanroc go down, Mabosstiff eats a Close Combat … and Lucario gets one too.*
Sarah: WINNER!
*Sarah leaps up and runs around the room celebrating.*
Mistress Discipline: *sets her controller down…* I no longer think this was a good idea.
Death Trap: She made that mon just to take you down, you know that right? We should take notes. Surely the Tilted Cartridges have been studying our in ring moves and will have counters ready. Cheez is a streamer himself, in fact he probably has this same game. I doubt he’s using it to train … but you never know.
Mistress Discipline: No, we do not need to take notes on a video game. Just because Cheez is a gamer, does not mean it will help us in the ring. We should focus more on our styles.
Death Trap: They are a lot like Sarah’s Lucario, one hits hard the other strikes fast. Dunne is a bruiser who has gone toe to toe with Anthony Caffrey, so he’s no slouch to surviving submissions. And Cheez is a high flier, and he thrives from playing the underdog.
*As he speaks, he begins to thin out a mass outbreak of pawniard, looking for a shiny. Shiny Kingambit is dope yo.*
Mistress Discipline: Another of these teams that seems to rely on the unspoken and unproven potential boost from being “underdogs”. My dogs of war are far superior to any underdogs. I say let them be the underdogs. We are the champs for a reason. And neither of us will be under anyone!
Dr. Chaos: PHRASING!
*DT and MD both wince. DT has now cleared out half the outbreak and nothing so he has a picnic. MD and Chaos join in and add pickles and bananas to his ham sandwich. Then Sarah adds potato salad …*
Death Trap: Ok, that might work? Odd couple pairings and all.
Sarah: PO-TA-TO!
Mistress Discipline: I understand, while we are a perfect combination, our opponents are no odd couple. They are a mentor and mentee, similar to us. And unlike us, they have a mix of styles between them, so we have more to watch out for.
Death Trap: It has been a while since we’ve gone up against someone bigger and more powerful than I am. I can’t toss Dunne around the way I did Daigo. Though I’m not sure Cheez can stand up to repeated stretchings. Our stretch submissions may be the key here. Isolate the smaller wrestler and break him down. Maybe use the chokes to break down the strength of the bigger lad.
Dr. Chaos: Oh come on, you guys are the tag team champs. You have been for going on 9 months now! You are more of a team than these two sad gamer losers. Nobody works together better than you guys. Not even those weird void guys from Fireside, you know, the ones who fought that inflatable dinosaur wrestler who drives for my other employers.
Death Trap: Let’s show off that teamwork in a raid, I’m having no luck with this outbreak, I’ll come back to it.
*They enter a raid … it’s a Delibird, steel tera type. 4*. DT goes in with Annihilape, MD and Sarah each pack a Lucario, all high level. Chaos has a level 10 Fidough…*
Dr. Chaos: I’ll uh … just do what I usually do …
*She hits the cheer button and boosts the attack of her team. A wise move from the manager.*
Death Trap: Yes look at that teamwork. See, this is what I mean. Top of the Class are truly the cream of the crop. We are the masters. Of the ring and of the pokemon!
*Fidough faints. A force palm paralyzes the Delibird and allows Annihilape to hex the thing for super damage. Meanwhile a close combat crushes it down to its shield. Suddenly they all terastallize.
Mistress Discipline: I quite enjoy this mechanic. It is a way of adapting on the fly and turning a situation from bad to good. There is no team more adaptable than us. The way we gel as a unit, the way you use your experience and knowledge to control the ring.
Death Trap: And the way you can counter your way out of any situation. Ringing bells and crushing fools. Yeah the more I think about it the more I agree. Let them play underdog. We are good enough to overcome any psychological boost Cheez may get. I can tangle Dunne in knots and you can fold Cheez in half. Or you can overwhelm Dunne with your counters when he tries to overpower you and I’ll cut Cheez off at the pass.
Dr. Chaos: Cutting the cheese in the ring is a bad strategy. Tight pants … I’ve seen some things man.
*Again MD looks over her shoulder in disgust at her actual friend in the room. The Delibird goes down. They all catch it.*
Dr. Chaos: These gamer types are all superstitious. I bet Cheez has a ritual he uses to get ready. Probably prays to this Are En Jesus I hear so much about!
Mistress Discipline: I believe that means he is relying on luck, Chaos.
Death Trap: Pfffft like his luck can beat ours. Not like either of them is Irish. No, we have the best luck.
*No shiny, DT flings his controller onto the couch*
Death Trap: SONUVABITCH! I JUST WANT ONE SHINY!
Dr. Chaos: Hey is that Pikachu golder than normal? *Sparkle sparkle*
Death Trap: COME ON!
*DT loses connection to the discord call and disconnects from the union circle group.*
Dr. Chaos: I didn’t think it was THAT ugly. Oh my duck is ... evolving? Oh it's really more of a metamorphosis, individual animals don't evol- OH GOD WHY IS HE SO LAME NOW? IS THAT HIS HAIR?
Sarah: Hat.
Mistress Discipline: Well, another team building exercise going exactly to plan. *sigh* I shall go call him back. Let us do something else, for all of our sanities. I need Death Trap at peak mental performance to overwhelm the other team.
Dr. Chaos: I mean, what really even IS peak mental performance for him. … You know he bought you a hat …
Mistress Discipline: Why do you have such little faith in him?
Dr. Chaos: The better question is, why do you have so much?
*Fade out*
