This
is the Whether Man's Neo Watch. We have a serious Neo warning coming in at the
Pojo. Please evacuate. (storm sounds) Umm... Too late. We're gonna have a
problem here...
Whether Man: Welcome!
Whether Man filling in for the Sports Man here! Welcome to the ultimate fight
between Lugia and Mewtwo! This is one fight that's worth
seeing. Provided you don't buy the cheap seats in front, you get a wonderful
look at the strongest Pokemon fighting for the ultimate title...
Ah
heck, Mewtwo's gonna get pulverized. We all know he doesn't stand a chance,
come on! Even with Thunder, he's got no hope of winning. The only time he's
better is in the card game.
(Guy From Crowd: Whether Man, what are you talking about? The
Lugia card rocks!)
Whether Man: Umm... NO?!
LUGIA AIN'T THAT GOOD GUYS! I mean, come on! Look at the card:
Lugia
HP:90 (Colorless)
FWL: Elemental Blast
90
Discard one fire, lightning, AND water
energy attached to this card in order to
use this attack.
Weakness: Psychic Resistance:
Fighting
Retreat: 2
Whether Man: Come on! How is this card good? This guy
is such an energy burner, I can't even think of where to begin! Even Blaine's
Arcanine/Charizard uses less energy for more damage. And at least they use the
same color energy. What's with the hype?
Porygon: But he's basic!
Whether Man: So? He's still bad! Three energy burned
away for only 90 damage? And let's face it, few good decks run those three
colors, and even if they did, no one could support that much energy burning.
Even if it did 120 damage, this attack is still worthless... Where'd Porygon
come from anyway?
Mewtwo: Plus, he's got
the Psy weakness that I just love. Let's face it, Promo Mewtwo, which has
really terrific artwork and captures my good side without question, is
everywhere. Three turns and Big L's fried.
Whether Man:
Shouldn't you be fighting?
Mewtwo: Oh yeah.
Whether Man: And then
there's Bellsprout Temple. This gym reduces colorless attacks by 30. I don't
know when that's applied, but I'm guessing after weakness and before other
effects. Basically, resistance to colorless. This makes Lugia's attack
especially worthless since you're now paying and discarding 3 energy for 60.
Not worth it.
"DING!"
Well, there's the bell, and neither of these fighters are going down. We'll
continue coverage, but first, a word from our sponsers...
