Unregistered HyperCam 2

hey gys welcom wer gona tlk with teh K man and th N men now

Meowth

(Cam that’s not what they’re…never mind.) Hello! Thanks for coming out again, and congratulations on winning your first matches!

Bill Trinen

Thank you!

Reggie Fils-Aimé

Always a pleasure.

Meowth

So tell us about your first battles. Did it go well, do you think? Let’s start with you, Reggie.

Reggie Fils-Aimé

That mixer was no competition for us. We were extra diligent to make sure it will never see the light of the winner’s bracket again.

Bill Trinen

Nothing funny about it. I must admit though, it can cook a mighty fine meal.

DJ Professor K

Hard agree with Bill. That hunk o’ metal really gots some talent. Shit… did y’all try those nutty biscuit things last night? mmmmMM! Really gots these juices flowin’.

Bill Trinen

Oh yes, those were delicious!

Meowth

Yes, the Gaylord hired HOBaRT for a reason. A true genius of the culinary arts. Professor K, how about you? Your match with MissingNo. was intense!

DJ Professor K

Man, it ain’t what I was expecting, I’ll tell ya. To tell you the truth I don’t quite remember the entire encounter… there was some real screwy stuff coming out of this one. But your boy here ain’t no stranger to messed up shit. This old pile of bones still has it!

if u see it tell us ok we cnt find it

DJ Professor K

Yo Regg, ain’t that glitchy thing yours? Like from your department, being a Pokémon and all that?

Reggie Fils-Aimé

…um, no. We attribute MissingNo. to Game Freak. Nintendo doesn’t take responsibility for-

*suddenly the door pops open.*
Isabelle

I’m so sorry Mr. Trinen, but I could only find donuts with maple flavoring, I hope that’s-

*Isabelle freezes, terrified. The tray holding a stack of donuts tumbles to the floor.*
Isabelle

Ahhhh!!! I’m so sorry, everyone! I didn’t know we were on air! I’ll come back la-

Meowth

Isabelle?! I didn’t know you were here!

Reggie Fils-Aimé

Ah, yes, she’s with us. Apologies, she was a bit of a last minute addition to our guest list-

Isabelle

Oh no… I made a huge mess, I’m so sorry! I’ll clean it up right away!

Bill Trinen

No no, please, that can wait! Join us! I’m sure everyone would love to see you. Here’s a chair. (But bring a donut from over there still, would you?)

Isabelle

DJ Professor K

Heeeyyy! I haven’t seen you since the recording studio!

*Isabelle blushes.*
Isabelle

Eeeepp! That’s right! I nearly forgot! Is that going to release?

DJ Professor K

I think they prob gonna drop it real soon ‘cuz me and these Nintendo fellows are matched up. Man, you was FIRE!

Isabelle

Oh! T-t-thank you sir! I-I-I hope I did alright…

DJ Professor K

You kiddin’? You were slayin it, dog!

Isabelle

Nowhere near as smooth as your grooves, Professor!

Reggie Fils-Aimé

Isabelle requested to come with us to take a break from working on the new Animal Crossing coming out in March 2020. We agreed with her that a trip to the Gaylord would be a nice way for her to get some fresh air.

Meowth

That’s wonderful! Isabelle, what is this about a recording studio?

Isabelle

Oh! Um…well the Professor reached out to me personally about… um…

DJ Professor K

We did a collab! I know I maybe don’t show it but I’m a hard Animal Crossing addict. New Leaf is my main jam now. My village? Fly as hell. And the music – man shoutout to my pup K.K. Slider. That dog really knows how to lay down a track. I’ve been wanting to cover one of his songs forever. And I knew it would be just plain poppycock if I didn’t get someone from over there to help me out with it, so I reached out to Isabelle to do a feature.

DJ Professor K

What? You kiddin’? Nah Cam, she RAPPED!

Isabelle

The funky rhythm comin’ at ya! Hehehe!

Meowth

Exciting! Have any closing remarks before you two go head to head?

Reggie Fils-Aimé

Best of luck to you out there, DJ. It’s an honor to be battling against someone with as much skill as yourself.

DJ Professor K

Likewise, man. You know how much I admire everything you’ve done for the industry. May the freshest beats win.

Isabelle

…Bill! You shouldn’t be on the floor! I said I’d clean all that up!

Bill Trinen

But the donuts… they’re so good… maple… mmmmmmmmmmmmmm…
