User blog:MrTyeDye/Fanfiction: Gotta Catch 'Em All (Short)

Just a funny little scene I thought up today. Enjoy!

''Lincoln is lying on the couch, playing his 3DS. Leni walks by him.''

Leni: Hi, Linky! Whatcha doin'?

Lincoln: Oh, hi, Leni. I'm just putting together my Pokemon team.

Leni: Aww, I love Pokemon! Can I see your team? Pretty please?

Lincoln: Eh, all right.

''Lincoln hands the 3DS over to Leni. Leni takes her time looking the team up and down, and Lincoln notices that her smile is fading.''

Lincoln: What's the matter? Don't you like them?

Leni furrows her brow and starts rubbing her chin.

Leni: Mmm... I don't love them.

Lincoln: How come?

Leni takes a deep breath.

Leni: Well, first of all, you've got five different special attackers. Your only physical attacker is Dugtrio, which means you're gonna be totally walled by Chansey. Your team could really use something like Bisharp or Buzzwole to get past those special tanks. I'd defo swap one of them in for that Goodra, who doesn't seem to cover anything that your Greninja can't. And speaking of Greninja, you don't need to put a Choice Scarf on it, since it outspeeds 90 percent of the game without it as long as it has a speed-boosting nature - which I can see it does. Run Life Orb instead, or Expert Belt if you mind the recoil damage that much.

Also, why did you put an Assault Vest on your Starmie? Starmie doesn’t have nearly enough bulk to pull that off. Give it Life Orb instead so it can use Recover. Or better yet, give it some Choice Specs and put Trick in the last move slot so your team can actually do something against stall.

Lincoln just gawks at Leni, having been rendered completely speechless.

Leni: Oh, and use Pikachu! He's, like, totes the cutest!
