The two celebrities sat together at the table, opposite the lone representative from The Pokémon Company. It was smiling somewhat unnervingly at them as they read through the monster-ous lists, one for each. At least half of their own discographies were listed on the papers. Many of the song titles had been changed, although a few remained the same, perhaps fitting a Pokémon theme already.

“You want all of these songs to be performed? Isn’t that a bit much?” Katy asked at length.

“Oh, heavens no, you can drop one or two if needed,” the representative responded.

They exchanged glances. “What’s a Sunflora?” Post Malone continued, deciding to try to clear up another issue. “See, the song is called Sunflower, but-”

The representative clicked their tongue. “Oh dear. I suspect you’ll need to play some Pokémon Gold and Silver^TM.” It handed the singer another piece of paper alongside a Game Boy Color^TM. “We’ve changed the lyrics for you.”

Post Malone examined them, and read out one section.

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Some things you just can’t refuse
She wanna evolve me on the SS Anne cruise
And I’m not tryna lose

Then you’re left as a Sunkern
Unless I Sun Stone ya
You’re the Sunflora
I think your stats wouldn’t be too much
Or you’ll be left as a Sunkern
Unless I Sun Stone you
You’re the Sunflora
You’re the Sunflora

“What’s a Sunkern?” Katy asked.

“Goodness,” the rep said, handing another Game Boy Color^TM across the table. “I hope you know about Pokémon Sword and Shield^TM at least! That’s key for your song SwSh SwSh.”

“Uh huh…”

“And let’s not forget performing Roar, with these lyrics too by the way.” Another paper with lyrics scrawled upon it was handed down.

You held me down, but I got Up (grade)
Already brushing off the Sand Attack
You hear my Liquid Voice, you hear that Round
Like Thunder, gonna Earthquake the ground
You held me down, but I got Up (grade)
Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough
I Foresight it all, I Foresight it now

I got the eye of the Raikou, a fighter
Swords Dancing through the fire
‘Cause I am a Champion, and you’re gonna hear me Roar

(Have Post Malone run off stage and song suddenly end. Audience will laugh.)

“I don’t get it,” Post Malone said at length. “And isn’t it a virtual concert? How will we know the audience is going to laugh?”

“They will laugh. It is very funny.” The representative stared at them.

“Um…” Katy pointed at another song listed for her. “Well, why is this one crossed out? I Kissed a Mon?”

“Ah. We decided that it would be best not to perform that, lest we give the children… ideas. Instead, we want you to do the PokéRap^TM.”

Post Malone clicked his fingers. “Right, that one I know about.”

“With all 896 Pokémon, of course,” the representative added. “We thought it might be nice to go beyond Kanto for a bit here-”

“Hold up, eight hundred and what?”

“Kanto?” Katy echoed.

The representative sighed, and mused that maybe they should have gone with the original PokéRap^TM singer.
