Thunder: Hello and welcome to TPAMS episode 33! This is the When We Were Little Special!

Mew: Today, we get to hear about the childhoods of some of your favorite guests! Those Guests include: Giovanni, Goku, Vegeta, Michelle, Darien, Gene, Tenchi, Lt. Surge, Jessie, James, Butch, Cassidy, Lawrence 3, Tracey, Shiro, Ash, Richie, and Davis.

Mew Two: 3 of them are still kids.

Mew: Their life before their fame, then.

Mew Two: What ever.

Thunder: I think we can get started now. Send out the first guest, Two!

Mew Two: First up is Davis.

(He walks on to the stage. Ah. It’s been so long since I last said that.)

Mew: Hi Davis!

Davis: Hi! Let me just tell you that Yesterday’s special rocked! I loved it!

Thunder: Thanks. So Davis, tell us about your childhood.

Davis: Well, there really isn’t much to tell since mine isn’t over yet. I started playing soccer as soon as I could walk. And I used to take my sister’s underwear out of her drawer and hang it off our balcony. It was funny! All her friends found out she wore Care Bear underwear and she wouldn’t talk to me for 3 months.

Thunder: That’s- nice...

Davis: Let me see.... I used to like to climb tall things and jump off of them. One time I jumped off our balcony and landed in a garbage truck. Ummmmm..... Oh! One time I went to visit my grandma and I drowned her cat in the bathtub.

Mew: Oh!

Davis: Oh my! I forgot you’re a cat! I’m sorry! It wasn’t on purpose or anything... I wanted to give it a bath ‘cause it smelled funny... I left to get some soap and when I came back, he was under the water. I thought he wanted to play scuba diver so I left him there. We ended up burying him in the pet cemetery.

Mew: *sniffle* Poor kitty..... Oh well! Anything else?

Davis: No... I’m sorry.

Thunder: That’s okay. We’ll talk to you later!

Davis: Okay. Bye!

(he walks off the stage)

Mew Two: Next up is Ash.

(He walks on to the stage)

Mew: Hi Ash. Tell us about your younger days.

Ash: Hi. Okay. When I was little, I had all these little Pokémon dolls and action figures. They were so cool! I used to pretend I was a trainer that caught them and stuff, so I threw round things at them.

Thunder: There’s a point to this, right?

Ash: I’m getting to it. Any way, one day, my mom left me home alone. I was playing my trainer game when I got this great idea! I thought if I could use a real Pokéball the game might be more fun. So I went to my mom’s room and I found a Pokéball. I was threw it around for awhile and everything was great, that was until Duncan came into the room.

Mew: Who’s Duncan?

Ash: He was my mom’s Raccoon.

Thunder: Your mom had a Raccoon?

Ash: Yeah! He was so cool! Any way, Duncan came in and walked in front of the stuffed Pikachu I was pretending to catch, and I caught him!

Mew: The Pikachu?

Ash: No! Duncan! I tried everything to get him out, but I couldn’t. So I buried the ball out in the yard and watched Barney till my mom got back.

Thunder: That was really depressing.

Mew Two: *sigh* And they say the children are our future. I guess we’re screwed.

Mew: Is that so... Wow! Look at the time! We need a new guest now.

Ash: But I have another story-

Mew: Awww... Too bad. Maybe later! BYE!

(He walks off the stage)

Mew Two: You have plenty of time.

Mew: He was boring me.

Thunder: Me too.

Mew Two: *sigh* Oh well... Your next guest is Richie.

(He walks onto the stage)

Richie: Hi guys!

Mew and Thunder: HI RICHIE!

Richie: I bet you want me to tell you about my childhood.

Mew: That is why you’re here...

Richie: Well, okay! I lived with my parents in Indigo City.

Mew: Yeah?

Richie: Yeah. My parents own a hotel. I helped them a little with it. I used to deliver messages and stuff.

Thunder: Did anything memorable happen to you?

Richie: Yeah! One time I had to deliver a message to a room and I got there in time to see the guy that was staying in it jump out the window.

Mew: Oh no! Did he die?

Richie: No. His room was only on the second floor. He made it okay. He came back the next summer and requested a 15th floor room and my parents gave him one on the 1st floor.

Thunder: That’s good. Say, you’ve been the best yet Richie! Do you have any other fun stories?

Richie: Well, one time there was a channeler convention being held in our hotel. Me and my friend Joey didn’t know what channelers did, so we decided to sneak into their convention. When we got in, they were holding one of those things where they communicate with the dead. Me and Joey were naturally interested once they mentioned ghosts, so we decided to stay and watch. At first it was really boring. We were about to leave when one of the channelers jumped up out of her chair and started squaking. We thought that was hilarious! Then another one started singing Tu Pac songs, and another one screaming something about being the Queen of England. That was funny because it was an old man with a beard.

(Thunder and Mew laugh)

Mew: It sounds like you had a fun childhood in that hotel.

Richie: It was great! Me and Joey used to get into all sorts of trouble.

Thunder: Do you still talk to Joey?

Richie: Yeah. When I’m at home we terrorize the guests together.

Mew: Wow. That was fun Richie! But we have to get to the next guest now.

Richie: That’s okay. I can tell you stories some other time.

Thunder: Right. Bye!

(Richie walks off the stage.)

Mew: Well, who gets to follow that?

Thunder: I’m not sure, but it’s going to be a tough act to follow.

Mew Two: Next up is Darien.

(He walks onto the stage.)

Mew: Hi!

Darien: Hello. How are you today?

Mew: Good! So, what’s up?

Darien: Not much.

Thunder: Well, why don’t you tell us about your childhood then.

Darien: Okay. I guess it was nothing special really... At least most of it.

Mew: What do you mean by that?

Darien: Well, I lived with my parents just like any kid... Until...

Thunder: Until what?

Darien: Until they died in a terrible car crash.

Mew: Oh. I’m sorry.

Thunder: Did you have to go to an orphanage?

Darien: Yes. And I had no friends there at all.

Mew: Why not? You’re such a nice guy.

Darien: I was too shy to talk to any one. That is... Until I found a friend. He was outside in the rain and I brought him inside to warm up. He was my best friend!

Mew: That’s good-

Darien: But after a few days.... He left...

Thunder: It sounds like you had a lot of bad luck then.

Darien: Yeah. I did meet Serena there, though.

Mew: You could have done with out that.

Darien: I know that now, but she was my only friend for a long time.

Mew Two: Well isn’t that nifty? You knew each other in a past life and you meet up again later.

Darien: That DID work out very nicely... Perhaps a little too nicely...

Thunder: I guess it’s a conspiracy.

Mew: Did anything good happen to you when you were little?

Darien: I had a pretty awful childhood. I guess that’s why I adopted Blossom.

Mew: You didn’t want her to have an awful childhood too?

Darien: Yeah.

Thunder: That was nice of you.

Mew: When you were little, did you make any friends that weren’t the sailor scouts or the other one that left?

Darien: There was one. His name was Tommy. The thing about him was, both his parents died of cancer, and he had it too. So he died less than a year after I met him. For awhile there I thought I was the Grim Reaper or something. All my friends and family were leaving or dying.

Mew: That’s not true any more! You have lots of friends now!

Darien: I guess if you just be patient, everything will turn out okay.

Thunder: That’s the spirit!

Mew: Yes! Now you’re all positive and happy! That’s what we like to see around here!

Darien: Okay...

Mew: Good. I’m glad we were able to have this little talk. It made us all better people.

Darien: It did?

Mew: Sure! You aren’t depressed about your crappy childhood and me and Thunder...

Thunder: Me and you....

Mew: We’re just better because of it!

Darien: Ummmmm..... Okay.... If you say so.

Mew: You don’t think we’re better?

Darien: What was wrong with you? How can something be better if there’s nothing to improve?

Mew: I guess you’re right! Well, that was a fun talk too! But lets talk about you again! Did you get a girlfriend yet?

Darien: No.

Thunder: Why not?

Darien: I dunno.

Mew: That’s a bad answer. Do you want us to find you a girlfriend?

Darien: Not really...

Mew: Oh, come on! It’ll be fun!

Darien: I don’t think-

Mew: Okay! I’ll name some people! Ummmm... What about.... Uhhhh....... Cassidy!

Darien: I don’t like her. She has a major ego problem.

Mew: Okay... What about... Jessie!

Darien: Where do I begin to tell you what’s wrong with that?

Thunder: The beginning!

Darien: She’s moody, she picked on my hair, and the people she hangs around with creep me out. And that’s just for starters.

Mew: Okay... What about Michelle?

(Thunder throws his mic at her.)

Mew: What?

Thunder: (picking up his mic) You suck.

Darien: She’s crazy, she tries as hard as she possibly can to pick out all my faults, she’s always talking about Tenchi, and she growls.

Mew: But she’s pretty!

Darien: She scares me.

Mew: You say that now, but sooner or later you’ll see things my way.

Darien: No I won’t.

Mew: You will too!

Darien: And Davis is going to stop singing that annoying Diddy song.

Mew: Oh, he’ll stop.

Davis: (Sticking his head out) “The D, the A, the V, the I, the S, the D, the A, the V. It’s Davis! Hold up! It’s Davis! Say what!?”

Mew: That’s enough Davis!

Darien: I rest my case.

Mew Two: He’s right Mew. Any way, you need to get to a new guest now.

Mew: Fine. Bye Darien!

Thunder: Yeah. Bye!

Darien: Bye.

(He walks off the stage.)

Mew: Who’s next, Two?

Mew Two: Next up is Michelle.

Mew: Ooooh! How convenient!

(She walks on to the stage)

Thunder: Hi...

Mew: Hi!

Michelle: Hi guys! What’s up?

Thunder: Nothin’...

Mew: Yeah. Before you get into your childhood, tell me what you think of Darien.

Michelle: Why?

Mew: Curious.

Michelle: He’s nice. He likes to criticize everything, though.

Mew: That’s not what he said...

Michelle: What did he say?

Mew: He said YOU criticize everything about him.

Michelle: I do not. He’s just confused.

Mew: You DO fight with him a lot...

Michelle: What’s your point?

Mew: In episode 22, Matt said and I quote “You know something, Brick? My dad always said if a person picks on someone it means you like them”. You pick on poor Darien all the time.

Michelle: That doesn’t mean anything.

Mew: You agreed with Matt!

Michelle: I never did.

Mew: YES YOU DID! Your conversation with Ken went like this:

*S. Neptune: I’ve been telling Brick what you told him all morning but he’s been ignoring me.

Ken: The thing about picking on people?

S. Neptune: Yes. He’s a very stubborn boy. He was back there only 30 seconds and he was already putting various food items into Blossom’s hair.*

So there!

Michelle: Damn!

Mew: Come on! Confess! You have to because I caught you lying!

Michelle: None of that means I like Darien. You’re being silly.

Thunder: Yeah, Mew! Stop being silly.

Mew: Confess Michelle or I’ll tell Tenchi what I heard.

Michelle: What did you hear?

Mew: That’s between me and Tenchi unless you confess!

Michelle: Well, I refuse to confess to your ridiculous accusation.

Mew: What’s wrong with him?

Michelle: Nothing but-

Mew: Okay then. Admit that you like him and we can all move on.

Thunder: We have a show to do! How about we just move on.

Mew: Okay. We’ll come back to this. I’ll give you time to consider my offer.

Thunder: *sigh* Okay Michelle. Tell us about your childhood.

Michelle: Okay. I suppose it wasn’t really very interesting. I lived with my parents and went to school just like any kid. I did play the violin and paint a lot, but other than that, there’s nothing special about my childhood.

Mew: When did you get your sailor scout powers?

Michelle: When I was 14. I remember. I found the wand deal in my box of painting stuff.

Thunder: That’s nice...

Mew: Now that we know about your childhood- wait! When did you meet Darien?

Michelle: When I met Sailor Moon and her friends. He was there one of the times I was talking to them.

Mew: I think I remember Sailor Moon accusing you of trying to steal him from her in one episode...

Michelle: She’s a very confused little girl-

Mew: Stop making excuses and admit it already!

Michelle: Just because YOU think you’re right doesn’t mean you are. Why do you want to know, any way?

Mew: Well, I was telling him how he needed a girlfriend and I suggested you and he said you were scary.

Michelle: I am not scary.

Mew: Go tell him that.

Michelle: I should. Are you done with me?

Mew: I am, but Tenchi is the next guest.

Michelle: I don’t know what you “heard” but it can’t be any worse than what Lightning told him.

Mew: Okay... Bye then.

Thunder: BYE!

Michelle: Bye.

(She walks off the stage)

Mew: Tenchi IS next, isn’t he?

Mew Two: Indeed he is.

(Tenchi walks onto the stage)

Tenchi: Hello.

Mew: Hi Tenchi.

Thunder: How are you, Tenchi?

Tenchi: Good.

Mew: Did you ditch those annoying girls yet?

Tenchi: *sigh* Not yet.

Mew: Tell us about your childhood, Tenchi.

Tenchi: Okay. When I was little, I lived with my dad and grandfather in the woods. In fact... I still do! My mother died when I was really little, so I don’t remember her...

Mew: Sad!

Thunder: What did you do for fun if you lived in the middle of nowhere?

Tenchi: I didn’t live in the Middle of Nowhere. I lived in the woods. Any way, I used to explore caves and stuff. It was fun! Once I found a shoe!

Mew: A shoe, you say?

Tenchi: Yeah! I decided it was a pirate shoe.

Mew: That’s- errrr- nice. You didn’t have many friends, did you?

Tenchi: I had a few friends at school. I didn’t see much of them in the summer. I did all my exploring with Betty.

Thunder: Who’s Betty?

Tenchi: She was my bird. I found her injured once. My grandfather helped me fix her up, and when I tried to release her after she got better, she kept coming back. She was my best friend! We explored all kinds of stuff together. Once she found George, though, she left with him.

Mew: Sad!

Tenchi: Yeah... But I got over it. I can cope.

Thunder: That’s good. Any thing else?

Tenchi: Not really-

Mew: Great! Lets talk about now!

Tenchi: What about now?

Mew: Did you know that-

Thunder: Mew, no.

Mew: But-

Thunder: No.

Mew: Fine! You may go, Tenchi.

Tenchi: Okay. Bye!

Thunder and Mew: BYE!

(He walks off the stage.)

Mew: Who’s next, Two?

Mew Two: Next up is Giovanni.

(He walks on to the stage)

Mew: Hi Vanni!

Giovanni: Why do you insist on calling me by that annoying nickname?

Mew: I like it. So Vanni, since we already know about your childhood, lets talk about you now.

Giovanni: Why?

Thunder: Because we can. Duh.

Mew: So, why are you so anti-social?

Giovanni: I don’t like people.

Thunder: Yeah right. I bet you weren’t always like this.

Giovanni: I haven’t willingly interacted with people in since I was 5.

Mew: I don’t buy that.

Thunder: Me either. You probably had some traumatic experience that made you hate people.

Giovanni: I did not.

Mew: That’s not what I heard...

Giovanni: Why do you keep saying that?

Mew: Because I heard that you got along fine with people for a long time.

Giovanni: Who told you that?

Mew: You did. You aren’t always evil you know.

Giovanni: I am when it comes to you.

Mew: No you aren’t.

Thunder: Of course he’s not. But seriously, dude, we’ve heard lots of stuff about you.

Giovanni: Like....

Mew: Do you really want to know?

Giovanni: Yes.

Mew: Okay... I heard you liked people until-

Giovanni: Nope.

Mew: I didn’t finish.

Giovanni: I know what you’re going to say and it’s wrong.

Mew: What am I going to say?

Giovanni: Nothing that is of any importance.

Mew: WRONG!

Giovanni: No! I meant what you were going to say was of no importance.

Mew: Oh. Well, I’ll have you know I think it’s very important.

Thunder: I bet it’s not. Lets move on.

Giovanni: Come tell me what you were going to say and I’ll tell you if it’s important.

Mew: Kay!

(She floats over to him and whispers something.)

Giovanni: Who told you that?

Mew: An undisclosed source. Is that source correct?

Giovanni: No.

Mew Two: He’s lying.

Thunder: Oooh! What did you tell him!?

Mew: Since I know it’s true now-

Giovanni: It is not!

Mew: It is too, liar! Any way, I have to keep it a secret so I can use it to blackmail him later. Bwahahahahahaha!

Thunder: Will you tell me later?

Mew: Maybe.

Giovanni: That would be spreading an untrue rumor.

Mew: Firstly, it’s true. Secondly, I have no problem with spreading rumors. I think it’s fun.

(He glares at her)

Mew: Don’t worry, Vanni. I won’t tell unless you make me mad.

Giovanni: I’m not even going to say anything...

Mew: Good! Stay, Vanni. Two! Get us the next guest!

Mew Two: Okay.... Next up is Goku.

(He walks onto the stage)

Goku: Hi everyone!

Mew: Hi Goku.

Thunder: Hello.

Giovanni: Leave- I mean- Hi.

Mew: So Goku, tell us about your childhood.

Goku: Okay. I was sent to the Earth as an infant. I was supposed to destroy it. But I hit my head and forgot what I came for.

Giovanni: You also got some serious brain damage.

Mew: Vanni!

Giovanni What?

Goku: Any way, this guy named Gohan, who I called my grandpa, found me and raised me. He taught me how to fight and stuff. When I was 10 he died. I lived all alone for 2 years until Bulma found me and I went to find the Dragonballs with her. Along the way, we made friends with all the people we hang out with now.

Thunder: Is that when you met Chi Chi?

Goku: Yep.

Giovanni: How wonderful (sarcasm).

Mew: Ahem.

Giovanni: Are you not feeling well?

Mew: Shut up!

Thunder: ANY WAY, is that all Goku?

Goku: I guess...

Mew: Did you ever meet any of your family from Vegeta (The planet. That IS what it’s called isn’t it? It is!)?

Goku: Well, I DID meet my brother. He came to find out why the Earth wasn’t destroyed. Then he tried to kill me. If it weren’t for Gohan, he would have succeeded.

Mew: Your grandpa or your son?

Goku: My son. I named him after my grandpa.

Thunder: Oh. I see.

Giovanni: And we’re all better people because of it (sarcasm).

Mew: Shut up!

Thunder: *sigh* Is that all Goku?

Goku: Yeah.

Mew: Okay. We’ll see you later!

Goku: Okay. Bye!

Thunder and Mew: Bye!

Giovanni: Leave- I mean- Bye.

(Goku walks off the stage.)

Mew Two: Next up is Vegeta.

(He walks onto the stage)

Vegeta: What are you doing here?

Giovanni: Mew wouldn’t let me leave.

Mew: That’s ‘cause he’s mean. So Vegeta, tell us about your childhood.

Vegeta: Okay. I lived on the planet Vegeta. I was the prince. My father was King Vegeta if you remember.

Mew: Uh-huh. Continue.

Vegeta: Okay. I lived happily in the castle getting what ever I wanted when ever I wanted it. That is until Freiza came. He was so mean! He locked me up and let his people kick me around. Literally.

Mew: That is so sad!

Vegeta: But that’s not the worst of it. He made me watch as he blew up the planet!

Thunder: I thought he didn’t really blow it up. In reality, not the show I mean.

Vegeta: I didn’t know that until like a year ago.

Thunder: Oh. Well, why did Freiza have you in the first place?

Vegeta: He kidnapped me and held me for ransom. My father was going to pay it- I think- But he blew up the planet before they could get him what he wanted. We now know he didn’t really blow it up, but at the time I thought all my friends and family were gone.

Mew: What did you do next?

Vegeta: Well, I was really angry. But I knew there wasn’t anything I could do. I was a little Saiyen kid that was trapped with a bunch of space pirates. So, I joined up with Frieza. Later on, I met Nappa. He was a Saiyen too, so we got along great. I DID kill him when we were fighting Kakarot, but that’s another story.

Mew: I see.

Giovanni: Good. That means your eyes work.

Mew: STOP BEING STUPID OR I’LL TELL EVERYONE EVERYTHING!

Giovanni: Psht. Like I care.

Mew: Hush! Were you done, Vegeta?

Vegeta: Yeah.

Thunder: Were you already grown up when you met Goku?

Vegeta: Yeah. I was sent to Earth to destroy it and he tried to stop me.

Mew: You had a sad childhood too. You and Darien made me feel so awful. He’s an orphan and you were kidnapped and forced to join a band of space pirates that like to destroy things!

(She starts crying)

Vegeta: It’s not so bad. If I wouldn’t have been kidnapped, I never would have became a pirate, then I never would have been sent to destroy the Earth, and I never would have met Kakarot and all my friends.

Thunder: Yeah Mew. He’s fine now.

Mew: *sniffle* But he wasn’t then. Poor little Vegeta...

Giovanni: *sigh* Can I leave? You’re making me feel ill.

Mew: *sniffle* NO!

Thunder: You can, though, Vegeta. Bye.

Vegeta: Bye. And stop crying. It’s okay.

Mew: *sniffle* Okay.

(He walks off the stage)

Mew Two: Next up is Gene.

(He walks on to the stage)

Gene: Hi! Why is Mew crying?

Thunder: Vegeta’s and Darien’s sad childhoods upset her.

Gene: Uh-oh....

Thunder: What?

Gene: She might not want to hear about mine then...

Mew: *sniffle* Why not? What happened?

Gene: Well, I always wanted to go into space ever since I was really little. When I finally got to go- Haven’t I told you this before?

Thunder: If you did we forgot.

Gene: Well, my dad took me up. We got attacked by some pirates and the ship got really messed up. My dad put me in the escape pod and launched it. Then our ship blew up.

Mew: *sniffle* Was your dad on it?

Gene: .... Yes.

Mew: Waaaaaah!

(She starts crying even harder. She uses Giovanni’s sleeve to wipe her face)

Giovanni: Stop that!

Mew: THAT IS SO SAD! Waaaaah!

Thunder: Mew, calm down! It’s okay! Gene and Vegeta and Darien aren’t sitting here crying.

Gene: Yeah Mew. I’m okay. Really.

Mew: *sniffle* I know! But poor little Gene!

Thunder: What happened after that Gene?

Gene: Well, I landed on Sentinel III. And I lived there until I ended up meeting Hilda and getting the Outlaw Star.

Thunder: What did you do for the time before you met Hilda?

Gene: I did odd jobs for people to make money to live on. After awhile, I started my own business with Jim’s help.

Thunder: So everything went good?

Gene: Yep.

Thunder: There now Mew! You see? Everything went good after that.

Gene: Yeah. Don’t cry.

Giovanni: Especially not on me.

Thunder and Gene: Be nice, Giovanni!

Mew: I know he’s fine now, but he wasn’t fine when he was a little orphan. *sniffle*

Gene: I know it was sad, Mew, but you shouldn’t cry so much. All‘s well that ends well, right?

Mew: *sniffle* I guess.

Thunder: Okay then! You can go, Gene. Thanks for coming.

Gene: Yep. Bye! Stop crying, Mew.

Mew: *sniffle* I’ll try. Bye.

(He walks off the stage)

Mew Two: Next up is Lt. Surge. He has some Kleenex for Mew.

(Lt. Surge walks onto the stage. He hands Mew a box of Kleenex.)

Mew: Thank you. Do you have a sad childhood?

Lt. Surge: Nope.

Thunder: Tell us about it.

Lt. Surge: Okay! When I was a kid I lived on Cinnabar Island with my mom, dad, and grandparents. My grandfather and father were in the army and told me lots of stories about battles they were in and stuff. I loved listening to all their stories and stuff. And when my dad and grandpa weren’t telling me stories, I got to help my mom and grandma bake cookies! That was fun! I got to lick the spoon when they were done! And my grandma told me stories about when she was a ship captain, because she was one. She told me about pirates and stuff. I heard so many cool stories growing up!

Mew: *sniffle* Do you remember any of them?

Lt. Surge: A few. I mostly remember when me and my parents and grandparents would go on boat rides. That was great!

Thunder: You were an only child?

Lt. Surge: No. I had 2 sisters. one is older and was away most of my childhood, and the other wasn’t born till I was 12. My grandparents decided to move to Florida when I was 12, so my little sister didn’t get to see them as much as I had.

Mew: *sniffle* Are your parents and grandparents still alive?

Lt. Surge: All four of them. My parents still live on Cinnabar Island and my grandparents are traveling around the world. The sent me a postcard from Brazil just yesterday.

Mew: *sniffle* Really?

Lt. Surge: Yeah.

Mew: *sniffle* So you had a really happy childhood?

Lt. Surge: Yep.

Thunder: When did you join the army?

Lt. Surge: When I was 18. I quit to become a gym leader when I was 28.

Thunder: I have another question. It’s going to sound real weird, but I am curious.

Lt. Surge: What is it?

Giovanni: I bet you he asks what your first name is.

Thunder: That’s exactly what I wanted to know!

Lt. Surge: You know, I don’t think I ever did tell you what my real name is! How silly of me! My real name is Henry Johnson!

Mew Two: Are you kidding me!?

Lt. Surge: Why do you think everyone calls me Lt. Surge?

Giovanni: I’d get a nickname too if I had a name like that.

Mew: Be nice! So your name is Henry?

Lt. Surge: Yeah. It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just that Henry isn’t very tough sounding.

Thunder: It isn’t. You don’t look like a Henry. You look like a- uhhhhhhh- something that isn’t Henry.

Lt. Surge: Yeah. I was actually named after my grandfather that lived with us. My grandmother named me Henry.

Mew: That’s nice. Why didn’t everyone have a happy childhood like you did?

Lt. Surge: That’s not how it works. It’d be nice if it were, but it’s not.

Giovanni: My. How observant of you. (sarcasm)

Thunder: Hush! I have another question. When did you decide to train electric Pokémon?

Lt. Surge: When I was 10. My grandpa gave me a Pikachu for my birthday. It was actually the only Pokémon I ever had-

Giovanni: You’ve had that Raichu of yours for 25 years?

Lt. Surge: 24.

Mew Two: Pikachus live that long?

Thunder: Sure we do! My grandma is 79! And that’s people years!

Mew Two: Wow.

Mew: That made me feel better! Thanks Henry!

Lt. Surge: You’re welcome, Mew.

Thunder: I guess you can go now. We’ll see you later! Bye!

Mew: Bye Henry!

Lt. Surge: Bye!

(He walks off the stage)

Giovanni: Why can’t I leave?

Mew: I’m still blackmailing you.

Giovanni: Okay.

Mew Two : *sigh* Next up is Jessie and James.

(They walk onto the stage)

Mew: Hi.

Thunder: Hi!

Giovanni: You’re fired! I mean... Hello.

Jessie: Ummmm..... What are you doing here, boss?

Giovanni: Do you want to be fired for real?

James: She’ll shut up.

Giovanni: Of course she will.

Mew: STOP INTERRUPTING MY SHOW! Any way, we’ll start with James. James, tell us about your childhood.

James: Okay! My childhood was nice... For the most part. I lived in a big mansion with my parents who are very rich. I got anything and everything I wanted. My favorite Pokémon was Growlie. He was my Growlithe. He had his own mansion right next to ours!

Mew: The dog had a mansion of it’s own?

James: Yes. And he had his own servants and housekeepers and cooks and-

Mew: We get the point, dear.

James: Okay. Any way, everything was great until SHE came into the picture.

Thunder: Who is “she”?

James: *shudder* Jessibelle. My parents decided she’d make a lovely wife for me. The problem was, and is, she’s nuts! She wants to kill me, I just know she does!

Giovanni: I know someone else that would like to kill you...

Mew: Hush! Is that why you left all that money and such?

James: Yes! I ran away and never looked back. Then I met Jessie and we joined Team Rocket, and here we are now.

Thunder: Okay. Now you go Jessie.

Jessie: Okay. My childhood was a nightmare! I was dirt poor and had absolutely nothing! I DID have loving parents, but I had no money!

Giovanni: Poor you. (sarcasm)

Mew: Shut up rich boy! You aren’t allowed to say anything.

Giovanni: I can say whatever I want. You and your “blackmail” don’t scare me in the least.

Thunder: ANY WAY...

Jessie: Yeah. Well, my mom was a member of Team Rocket, and my dad was on the dead side... We never had much, but my mother made sure I had everything I needed... Except toys... We could never afford them... Except for one doll I got for Christmas. Then a certain individual’s mother, I won’t say who, sent my mother to look for Mew, and my mom never came back...

Giovanni: Oh yes. That’s all mother’s fault. What if your mother just ran away or something?

Mew: That’s mean, Giovanni! No one ever blamed your mom for Jessie’s mom never coming back, so don’t get so defensive.

Jessie: Any way, after that I went to an orphanage. Everyone was so mean to me there... That’s why I ran away... Then I met James. He was my first real friend.

James: Really? Then why are you so mean to me?

Jessie: Shut up, James.

James: Okay...

Mew: *sniffle* That was sad.. .But I won’t cry! No! I can’t cry! Waaaaah!

Thunder: So much for not crying.... Thanks for coming. We’ll talk to you later.

Jessie: Okay.

James: Bye!

(They walk off the stage)

Mew: *sniffle* Why are all our guests orphans!?

Giovanni: I’m not an orphan. Mother is in the audience. Hi mother!

Giovanni’s Mom: (from the audience) Hi sweetheart!

Mew Two: Any way... Butch and Cassidy are next.

(They walk onto the stage)

Mew: *sniffle* Hello.

Thunder: Hi!

Cassidy: Hi Thunder. Hi Mew. Hi- boss?

Giovanni: Don’t even ask.

Cassidy: Okay... What’s wrong, Mew?

Mew: *sniffle* There have been too many sad childhood stories. They make me cry...

Butch: Mine isn’t sad.

Thunder: Lets hear it.

Butch: Okay. I was adopted as an infant by a family in Celadon City. I lived with them until I was 16, when I left.

Mew: *sniffle* You just left? Why?

Butch: I told them I was going to try and make it as a Pokémon trainer. After 3 hours, I realized that wasn’t going to happen, so I joined Team Rocket.

Thunder: Was the family mean to you?

Butch: Not at all. They were very nice. I just wanted to try and make it on my own.

Thunder: Okay. What about you Cassidy?

Cassidy: My parents died when I was 3 and I spent the next 4 years going form foster home to foster home. When I was 7, they sent me too an orphanage where I met Jessie. She was a little nerd! I had so much fun picking on her!

Thunder: Why did you move around so much?

Cassidy: I didn’t like any of the families. That’s why they sent me to the orphanage. They figured I’d never stay in a family.

Mew: *sniffle* Why did you pick on Jessie?

Cassidy: She always wanted pity from everyone. We were all in the same crappy position and she thought she could get pity from us! She acted like she was a princess or something. I never liked her at all. In fact, I still don’t like her.

Thunder: She waned pity from you?

Cassidy: Yes! Can you believe that!? (Imitating Jessie) “I’m Jessie! My parents are dead so I’m going to whine about it to a bunch of other kids who’s parents are also dead”. Whoo yeah. I love that logic.(sarcasm)

Thunder: So you were mean to her?

Cassidy: Yes. It made me so mad that she wanted pity from me!

Mew: *sniffle* Your childhood was sad, but you made the best of it, so I don’t think I’ll cry.

Cassidy: Good. Crying is bad for you. Your eyes get all red and bloodshot and the tears mess up your make-up.

Butch: I don’t think Mew wears any make-up, Cassidy.

Cassidy: Oh- I guess you’re right...

Thunder: Any way, thanks a lot for coming. I hope you’ll come again sometimes. And thanks so much for talking, Butch.

Cassidy: Yep.

Butch: I’ve gotten past the voice thing because of all the help you gave me. I should be thanking you.

Mew: *sniffle* We love helping you.

Thunder: It makes us feel all nice and good inside.

Cassidy: Well, good bye!

Butch: Bye.

Thunder and Mew: BYE!

(Butch and Cassidy walk off the stage)

Giovanni: Can I leave yet?

Mew: *Sniffle* Of course not.

Thunder: Who’s next, Two?

Mew Two: Next up is Lawrence 3.

(He walks onto the stage)

Lary: Hello everyone.

Mew: Hi!

Thunder: Hey.

Giovanni: *sigh* I want to leave.

Mew: Be nice! So Lary, *sniffle* Was your childhood happy?

Lary: Oh yes. It was very happy.

Thunder: Really? What was so nice about it?

Lary: Well, for starters, I was an only child. That right there is just great. Now imagine being the only child in a family that has lots of money.

Mew: That would be really nice.

Thunder: You’d get everything you wanted.

Lary: Yes. My parents got me all the toys and games I could ever play. I got to travel all over the world. My favorite trip was when my parents took me to Australia. They bought me a kangaroo. I named him Hoppy.

Mew: Hoppy?

Lary: Yes. He was a kangaroo after all. The next year, we were going to go again, but I got sick, so they brought me back a koala.

Mew: Did the get you a little zoo or something?

Lary: Oh yes. They brought me all kinds of animals from all over. They made me a little zoo in the gardens at our house. My favorite part of the zoo was the birds. I loved birds.

Thunder: Why’s that?

Lary: I liked how they could fly. When ever they wanted, they could just fly away. I always wished I could do that. I could sit and watch the birds for hours. Except for when a certain individual came to visit. He would always scare them away.

Giovanni: I can’t believe you haven’t gotten over that.

Mew: You knew Giovanni when you were little?

Lary: Yes. His family came to visit every so often. And Giovanni would always scare the birds away. Now that I think about it, he was really mean to me.

Giovanni: I was not.

Lary: Oh yes you were. When we played hide and seek you would always sneak up behind me and yell. I nearly died every time you did that.

Giovanni: Psht. That’s how you play the game.

Lary: And when we were feeding the fish in the stream you’d always scare me so I’d fall in!

Giovanni: (laughing) That was funny!

Lary: And when you brought your cat, I forget which one, you’d put it on my face when I was sleeping. That wouldn’t be so bad, but I’m deathly allergic to them. I almost died for real when you did that.

Giovanni: Your mother asked me to wake you up. Muffin just wanted to help.

Lary: And those aren’t even the worst things you did to me. I’m lucky I survived.

Giovanni: Oh well.

Mew: So you were a little a** as a child, Giovanni?

Giovanni: Just to him.

Lary: That is so true! He wasn’t ever mean to anyone else. Just me. Why is that?

Giovanni: You’re the only one that was too stupid to fight back. I knew I could pick on you and I wouldn’t have to worry about you getting back at me.

Thunder: That’s mean. He’s weaker than you so you picked on him.

Mew: That sounds a lot like what evil Thunder does to you, Thunder.

Thunder: It does... I should get him back! Then he’ll stop!

Mew: That’s the spirit! Any way, is that all, Lary?

Lary: I think so...

Thunder: When did you start collecting things?

Lary: When I was 9. Giovanni’s mom gave me this little bird statue thing. I started collecting those. Until Giovanni broke most of them.

(Giovanni tries not to laugh)

Lary: Then I started collecting other things. I didn’t get into collecting Pokémon stuff until I got an Ancient Mew card. And we all know where that went to.

Thunder: Are your parents still around?

Lary: Yes. They live in my summer mansion.

Mew: That’s nice. Well, we have to get to the next guest now. Bye Lary!

Thunder: Bye.

Lary: Bye!

(He walks off the stage)

Mew Two: Next up is Tracey.

(He walks onto the stage)

Mew: Hi Tracey.

Tracey: Hi Mew. Hi Thunder. Hi Giovanni.

Thunder: It was so nice of you to take a break from swear word beeping to come tell us about your childhood.

Giovanni: If he’s here, who’s beeping swear words?

Tracey: Van took a minute out of his busy schedule to help me out.

Mew: We better get through you quick then. Van is already overworked and doesn’t need this.

Tracey: Okay. I lived on Orange Island as a kid.

Mew: Is that in the Orange Islands?

Tracey: Yes. It’s the main island for which the region is named. Any how, I lived there with my dad. My mom and dad were divorced. My mom lived on the other side of the island, but I didn’t see much of her. I saw my sister who lived with her a lot though. She went to my school.

Giovanni: Is her name Tracey?

Tracey: No. Her name is Kate. Any way, me and Kate used to go and watch the Pokémon that lived around the island swim around and live their happy lives. Then I got to drawing them. And from there I decided to become a Pokémon Watcher.

Mew: So you had a good childhood?

Tracey: Mostly. My stepmother was really mean to me, but I didn’t let it get to me. I just started watching Pokémon more. By the time I turned 16, I couldn’t stand her, so I left to fulfill my dream of becoming a great Pokémon Watcher.

Thunder: How was she mean to you?

Tracey: She always yelled at me and accused me of doing anything and everything that happened that was bad. She wanted my dad to send me to boarding school, but he wouldn’t do it.

Mew: Why didn’t you go live with your mom?

Tracey: She wasn’t much better. And she was always away or business. My sister is older than me, so she was home alone most of the time. My mom would have hired a baby-sitter if I lived with her and that would have made her hate me even more.

Thunder: Why did your mom hate you?

Tracey: I don’t think she hated me. I think I just stressed her out because I was always really curious and asked lots of annoying questions.

Mew: Do you talk to her now?

Tracey: Yes. She calls me all the time to see if I’m okay. I know she doesn’t hate me, and that she never did. I just brought out the worst in her. She apologizes for it all the time.

Thunder: It’s good that your on good terms with her now. Do you talk to your dad and your sister?

Tracey: Yes. Not my step mother though. She’s so mean! That’s why I never visit my dad. I visit my sister sometimes though. Speaking of, can I have next week off to visit her? She just had a baby and wanted me to come visit.

Mew: Sure! I’ll have Ken or someone beep swear words for you. Have fun.

Tracey: I sure will! She lives over on Orange Island. Have you ever been there?

Mew: Nuh-uh.

Tracey: I’ll bring you back some presents then. You too Thunder.

Thunder: Neat! Do they happen to have oranges there?

Tracey: The best! I’ll bring you back some.

Mew: Okay. Bye then!

Thunder: Bye!

Tracey: Bye!

(He walks off the stage)

Mew Two: Your final guest is Shiro.

(He walks onto the stage)

Mew: Hi!

Shiro: Hello. Ummm... I just got here, so I’m not sure why Giovanni is sitting here, or why Michelle is fighting with Darien. Can you tell me. It was kind of bothering me.

Mew: Well, Giovanni was being a jerk, so I told him he had to stay out here. And I told Michelle some stuff that Darien said in a conversation with us, and I guess she got mad at him.

Thunder: Telling her that she has a secret crush on him probably had something to do with it, too.

Shiro: She does, though.

Thunder: But trying to get her to confess is jut going to make her mad, don’t you think?

Shiro: I guess.

Mew: That’s not important! We’re supposed to be talking about Shiro now, not Michelle and Darien.

Thunder: Okay. Tell us about your childhood, Shiro.

Shiro: Okay. I lived on a space station as a child.

Mew: How was that?

Shiro: It was okay, but I like Earth better. And I lived with my parents. I was an only child. My dad was in the army, so I didn’t see a lot of him. There was a war going on, you see.

Thunder: Oh. So it was just you and your mom?

Shiro: Yes. But when I got old enough to join the army, I did. I was really proud or my dad for being a part of the military, so I felt that I had to join so he’d be proud of me too.

Mew: Was he?

Shiro: Of course.

Mew: So your dad didn’t die or anything like that?

Shiro: He got hurt and decided to quit. He lives with my mom on the space station.

Mew: Do you ever go back there?

Shiro: Not often. It’s hard to find a shuttle that goes there at a time I want to go.

Thunder: Do you at least write them letters?

Shiro: Yeah. What kind of son would I be if I didn’t call, write, or visit?

Mew: Giovanni.

Giovanni: Hey! I’ll have you know I visit mother every week. Now my ungrateful siblings are another story.

Giovanni’s mom: (from the audience: Giovanni! Don’t talk about your brother and sister like that!

Giovanni: Yes, mother.

(Mew, Thunder, and Shiro laugh at him)

Mew Two: Time...

Mew: Oh my gosh! This episode really ran on!

Thunder: Tomorrow we go back to normal episodes.

Mew: Oh well. It might not be a special, but we got really special guests!

Thunder: We’re going to have 6 all new guests.

Mew: They are Harry and Ron: The Mac Dougall brothers, Mondo and Rockna: The Mon Colle Knights, and a super suprise guest.

Thunder: We can’t say who they are because we don’t want Vegeta to find out who it is.

Mew: We’ll also have Gene, Suzuka, Davis, Madison, Vegeta, Goku, and Giovanni on for fun! Lets have Shiro on too since his interview today got cut so short. You’ll come, won’t you?

Shiro: Sure.

Thunder: Okay! If you want to see 5 fabulous new guests, tune in tomorrow!

Mew: If you want to see 8 great returning guests, tune in tomorrow!

Mew Two: Actually, we could care less what you want to see, just tune in tomorrow.

Mew and Thunder: Mew Two!

Thunder: Any way, that’s it for today’s episode of TPAMS! We hope to see you tomorrow!

Mew: Bye!

That’s it for today’s episode of The Pikachu and Mew Show! Tune in tomorrow to see 5 all new guests and 8 returning favorites. Good night everyone!
