Pokemon Conclave opening
sequence: "Get Wild" from City Hunter
I've explained this on my
two sequences for Astros, and I'll explain it again here. This is
basically...you know the annoying "gotta catch 'em all" song that plays
at the beginning, as background music with scenes from the show?
That's what this is. It's sort of like a music video. I'll
describe what should be happening in the video as the music is playing,
and I'll have what's going on in the music, like a lyric, bridge, or solo,
in [brackets]. So you can listen along and visualize how it would
look. Sorta. I dunno, just see how it goes. Also, I don't
own this song, I'm just using it for my fanfic. I'm not sure who
owns it either, probably the same people who own the copyright for City
Hunter itself, but if they see this, I hope they don't sue me. Okay,
on with the video thingie.
[the bell part in the intro]
With a starry sky as a background,
the five legendary birds (Houou, Lugia, Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres) all
fly from different directions into the middle of the screen.
[the guitar part that comes
in after that]
When the guitars start up,
the birds meet in the middle of the sky and there's a big explosion.
Once the explosion clears up, the Pokemon Conclave logo appears on the
screen. The scene changes to Aoife throwing a Pokeball, then Petra
appears behind her and throws one too, then Sora, Aidan, Ferio, and Ruari
all do the same (in that order).
[Asphalt tire o kiritsukenagara]
The old Team Rocket (Jessie
and James) drive a truck up a hill, with Meowth hanging out the back window.
(this is when they were younger, like the age they were in the original
series)
[Kurayami hashirinukeru]
Bonnie and Clyde are shown
driving an identical truck in the opposite direction, but still going uphill,
with Sundance in the same position as Meowth was in the last shot.
[Cheap na thrill ni mi o
makasete mo]
A younger version of Brock
(when he was 17, because remember, he's 37 in Conclave) asking out a cute
girl.
[Ashita ni obieteita yo]
Petra pushes him aside and
takes the girl for herself.
[It's your pain]
Close-up of Sora, looking
sad and twisting her Houou ring.
[Or my pain]
Close-up of Aidan, holding
a Machop plush doll.
[Or somebody's pain]
Close-up of Aoife lying
in the fields, waking up after training all night (like the Rei and Raichu
episode).
[Dareka no tame ni ikirareru
nara]
A shot of Aoife's face,
it zooms into her eye then fades into a scene of her walking and holding
hands with Steve (Fawn's minion dude, the blue-haired one).
[It's your dream]
Aoife holding up a badge
(this could change from episode to episode, it could be the most recent
badge that she had won at that point in the series).
{Or my dream]
Sora flying on Treagle,
taking off into the sky.
[Or somebody's dream]
Ronan the Dragonair jumps
into Ruari's arms after a victory.
[Nani mo kowaku wa nai]
Ash when he was 10 or 11
standing in the middle of the stadium at Indigo Plateau, he looks up into
the camera and changes into Aoife.
[Get wild and tough]
Petra fishing for Kingler,
she casts her line into the river and then, erm, accidentally casts herself
into the river.
[Hitori de wa tokenai ai
no puzzle o daite]
On "Hitori de wa" Petra
is shown sitting alone in the Pewter Gym. On "tokenai ai no puzzle"
she is shown enthusiastically grabbing Raven's hand. Then on "o daite"
Rose of the Cerulean Gym is shown taking off her t-shirt (she'd have a
bathing suit on underneath, ecchi) and throwing it to the ground (she's
standing on the high dive).
[Get wild and tough]
Ruari is shown surfing on
Lapras.
[Kono machi de yasashisa
ni amaeteitakuwanai]
The scene changes to a 7-11
or similar store with Ruari running around and grabbing things off the
shelves while the group looks on, sweatdropping.
[Get chance and luck]
Aidan, his brothers, and
Duplica standing in their gym; the camera pans up from their feet to their
head (pretty quickly, because this isn't a very long line).
[Kimi dake ga mamoreru mono
ga doko ka ni aru sa]
On "Kimi dake ga" the scene
shown is Aidan running down the street (probably after they've freed Aoife
from the Silph Building and Aidan's going for help). For the rest
of the line, the image is of Aidan, Sora, and Ferio spinning around, like
they're on a merry-go-round and the camera's in the middle.
[Get chance and luck]
Aoife pumping herself up
for a match, with Chu-Chu copying her actions.
[Hitori demo kizutsuita yume
o torimodosu yo]
On "Hitori demo" it's just
a profile shot of Aoife looking down. For the rest of the line the
scene shown is Aoife climbing up a cliff with Chu-Chu on her back, and
at the end of the line she is shown pulling herself up to the summit of
the cliff.
[brief instrumental bridge
part]
Each member of Aoife's group
is on their own flying Pokemon (Sora's on Treagle, Aoife's on Spearow,
Petra's on an Aerodactyl, Aidan's on a Pidgeot, Ferio's on a Fearow, and
Ruari's on a Dragonite) and they're all just flying around.
[Kuruma no light ni kiss
o nagete wa]
Gary (when he was 10, not
Gary the age he is in Conclave) driving off with his "fans" in his convertible.
[Shadoo de odoru ano ko]
Fawn dancing alone onstage
in her Maidens of the Peak costume.
[Tsumetai yozora o stage
ni shite]
Close-up of Sora, and it
zooms out to show that she's on the platform in her gym (which is about
40 feet above the ground).
[Kanashiku odoketeita ne]
[It's your pain or my pain
or somebody's pain]
[Dareka no tame ni aiseru
no nara]
[It's your dream or my dream
or somebody's dream]
[Kitto tsuyoku nareru]
[Get wild and tough]
[Hitori de wa kesenai itamigokoro
ni daite]
This line starts with an
extreme close-up of Ruari's face, then it changes to a shot of Ruari running.
Next Ruari is shown jumping off a waterfall, but she changes into a Dratini
before she hits the water.

On the first beat, the "Po"
in the Pokemon logo appears, then the "ke", then the "mon". On the
last beat, "Conclave" appears below the "Pokemon" logo. |
