Description[]
For the fate of the future, two time traveling swordsmen clash!
Interlude[]
Wiz: Grovyle, the time traveling seeker of the Time Gears!
Boomstick: Trunks, the time traveling son of Vegeta!
Wiz: Through time, no weapon is as iconic is the sword!
Boomstick: Even far into an apocalyptic future, the sword has given birth to hope for a better tomorrow. He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their armor, weapons, and skills, to find who would win...a DEATH BATTLE!
Grovyle[]
Wiz: Welcome to the World of Pokemon! A strange world inhabited with mysterious creatures far beyond the imagination.
Boomstick: Some seek mere companionship with Pokemon, and others study them as researchers. But the coolest has to be the Pokemon Trainers! These humans catch and collect these Pocket Monsters and use them to battle eachother!
Wiz: But, what if I told you another world existed. One inhabited only by Pokemon?
Boomstick: It is clear that humans existed in this world, but apparently they died out or something, and now only exist in fairy tales. And as such the Pokemon developed to be the dominant life forms of the planet...aside from a lone human from a far off apocalyptic future. Wait. How did a human somehow exist here? I thought they went extinct or something! What gives?
Wiz: However, Dialga, the very embodiment time, and one of the Pokemon that formed the multiverse itself, had gone mad. His mind eroded he was but a bloodthirsty beast at this point, causing time across the universe to stop. Leaves never fall, hanging in mid air. Waterfalls, in a state of suspended animation, with most Pokemon having gone insane.
Boomstick: I feel you're avoiding my question.
Wiz: But as this human was sent to the past to try and stop this future, a mysterious assailant attacked. Causing the human to lose their memories, and be turned into a Pokemon, and was found washed up on the beach by a timid Pokemon with aspirations of becoming an amazing explorer.
Boomstick: Fine. Ignore my legit question. Well, the two formed a team called Pokepals, because of friendship bullshit.
Wiz: However, shortly after, Grovyle, a mysterious and shady Pokemon began to steal the Time Gears.
Boomstick: These magical McGuffins, helped the time of the universe flow. After each was taken more and more of the world was stuck in a state of paralysis.

Trunks[]
Fight[]
A scenic shot of a forest is seen. Trees around in all directions. A green figure runs by weaving between trees until he came to a small clearing. A gear is seen floating in the air. He reaches for it, and then his eyes dash to the side.
Grovyle: Hmph. I know your're there.
Suddenly from behind a tree a purple haired man emerged from behind the tree.
Trunks: You have a good sense of observation. But I am not letting you take this Time Gear.
Grovyle: I don't have time for this. I'm in a hurry.
Trunks: I am not going to let you destroy the future!
Trunks draws his sword, and takes a stance.
Grovyle: I take it you have had a run in with Dusknoir?
Trunks: You mean that ghost guy? Yeah. He told me what your up to.
Grovyle: If you're with him, then I can't let you stop me.
Grovyle took a battle stance and the two stared down the other.
FIGHT!!![]
Results[]
Boomstick: (Loser) just didn't have the time or the gear to secure the win, while (winner) sword to victory.
Trivia[]
- The similarities between Grovyle and Trunks are that both of them are swordfighters from a bleak and desolate future. Both traveled back in time to make sure the events that led to said future never come to pass. Both of them were followed back by a major villain (Dusknoir for Grovyle, as well as Cell and Black for Trunks). Both had their timelines erased from existence (though Grovyle's was restored by Arceus). Both of them are capable of universal/multiversal power.
- Had this episode been made, it would be sprites, with Dan Green reprising his role as Grovyle from the Mystery Dungeon specials, and KeizerNeko would reprise his role as Future Trunks from Dragon Ball Z Abridged.
- This fight is among Sailor Elsa's (the fight's writer on the fanon wiki), most wanted, with this being his preferred match for either combatant.
