Interview #15 - Sawyer
(As the camera crew goes live, we see Joseph sitting in his usual chair, but Paxton is nowhere to be seen)
???: Hello, all you wonderful people out there in TV land!
(several audience members scream in fright, thinking it’s a ghost)
???: Oh, sorry. It’s me, Paxton. Before anybody asks, let me tell you what happened. I visited the Lumiose City conference of scientists this past week, which is why we’ve been on hiatus for the time being, and I attended Clemont’s speech on a new formula for invisibility that he has been working on with some other top chemists. I was the lucky winner of a free sample, and I accidentally spilled the vial this evening all over me, and…well, you see. Fortunately, the invisibility formula only lasts for about two hours, so it should wear off by the end of this Interview.
Joseph: Actually, it’s started to already – you can see Paxton’s shoes.
(A shoe seems to levitate above the desk, before floating back down to the floor again)
Joseph: Thank goodness. As cool as I think being invisible would be, I wouldn’t want to have an invisible Dad forever!
Paxton: Well, frankly, I don’t see it becoming a best selling invention. I mean, it’s kind of hard to see when you’re invisible! I only managed to find my way into the studio and sit down with the help of Joseph here. But I’ll try my best to do this interview as planned. And luckily, our interviewee Sawyer has already been warned of the situation. And on that note, let’s bring Sawyer in here and get started!
(Sawyer comes in and sits down)
Paxton: Well Sawyer, I hope you’re not too freaked out about all of this.
Sawyer: Yeah, this is kinda freaky…but cool!
Paxton: So let’s get this show on the road. How did you decide to begin your journey with a Treecko?
Sawyer: It was my favorite color, green!
Joseph: That’s right, you’re from Hoenn, aren’t you? Can you tell us a little more about why you decided to leave Hoenn and go to Kalos?
Sawyer: I’ve always felt that, while Littleroot Town will always hold a special place in my heart and all the science institutions in Hoenn are really cool, I’ve always found Kalos culture and their fetish for art in all of its forms very intriguing. And it gets hot in the summer in Hoenn, too!
Paxton: You seem to admire the Champion of the Hoenn region, Steven Stone. Can you tell us what it is about him that you admire?
Sawyer: I love his intellect and quirky nature, and my parents saw him as a good example for me to live up to.
Joseph: I noticed how you’re always taking notes during battles, unlike Ash who likes to just charge into battle and improvise a strategy on the fly. Is this approach to battling a part of your personality as well?
Sawyer: Yeah. I guess you might say that Ash and I are foils who became friendly rivals to each other on the basis of introversion versus extroversion, more or less.
Paxton: And did Sceptile want to start a friendly rivalry with Ash’s Greninja as well?
Sawyer: Yes, Sceptile saw Greninja as a good example and wanted to get stronger so he could beat Greninja one day. Professor Sycamore gave me a Sceptilite for the Kalos League after I proved my determination in battle to him.
Paxton: So tell us a little more about some of your other Pokemon. Namely, did you have a strategy for building a team, or did it kind of just all fall into place based on which wild Pokemon you encountered during your journey?
Sawyer: Most of them I just caught based on who I encountered in Kalos, but I wanted to learn more about type matchups and cover my bases, and go from there. The one exception was Slaking, who was a gift from my father after I got all eight Kalos badges. I knew all about its laziness, and I decided I wanted to incorporate it into a battle strategy for the Pokemon League!
Joseph: Yeah, in the Kalos League tournament, your Slaking succeeded against Hawlucha where Astrid’s Mega Absol failed. Who’da thunk it?
Paxton: And quite a few of your Pokemon, like Salamence and Aegislash, are very unlike you in terms of general species personality. So was that ever an issue for you during your journey as a Trainer?
Sawyer: No, not really. It’s actually quite common for Trainers’ Pokemon to be different from them personality-wise.
Joseph: Yeah, Ash-Greninja was certainly more cool-headed than his Trainer for sure…
Paxton: And let’s not forget Candice’s star Pokemon, Abomasnow, being a solitary Pokemon that lives in the mountains…
Sawyer: Well, I’ve never been to Sinnoh, but I remember Wulfric’s Mega Abomasnow gave me my hardest Gym Battle by far!
(By this time Paxton’s lower torso has become visible again, although it's not clear how much longer it'll be before the rest of him becomes visible again)
Paxton: And that’s all the questions from us, so let’s go to the audience for some more questions! I still can’t see yet, so Joseph, you’ll have to call on the audience members for me.
Joseph: Okay, let’s start with…seat 71.
Parasol Lady April: Paxton, when will that invisibility wear off? You look decapitated!
Paxton: Soon, hopefully.
Joseph: Seat 168.
Tierno: Hey Sawyer, I just wanted to say, congratulations on giving me such a memorable battle at the Kalos League! I’ve been working on perfecting my Rain Dance strategy even more, so can we battle again after this interview is over?
Sawyer: Sure thing! You better be ready, ‘cause Sceptile is stronger than ever now!
Joseph: Seat 208.
Pokémon Ranger Carlos: Was part of your Sceptile’s rivalry with Ash’s Greninja driven by resentment over losing to it time and time again despite a type advantage?
Sawyer: Maybe to some extent, but I think he’s also a Pokemon with some self-doubt issues as well. I could tell that he was extremely proud of himself on that day he managed to beat Greninja when Ash couldn’t get that transformation thing to work!
Paxton: And I think that will do it for this interview. Thank you Sawyer, and I hope it wasn’t too bizarre having a partly invisible Interviewer!
Sawyer: Not at all! I'll remember this for sure! Thanks!
(Sawyer leaves)
Paxton: Tune in next time for our season finale, which will be with Tracey Sketchit, the artist who joined Ash and Misty when they visited the Orange Islands.
(As Paxton says this, he fully becomes visible)
Paxton: Great! My invisibility’s gone!
Joseph: You look great as always, Dad.
Paxton: Awww, thank you, my son.
(The two of them hug)
