The Lyrics
"Pokédices Apart" is a song off the Every Ape and His Brother album The Chicken of the Opera. It is the ninth track. It was completed shortly before 5:30 PM EST on February 25th of 2012. The desire to make this song goes back to at least 2001, but has sat on a shelf for years. It is based on a mondegreen, where "love divides" is muffled and sounds like "Pokemon." All the rest of Journey's tune sounds like a possible song from the anime series, so it seemed logical to make the connection even more concrete. STORY: A cocky Pokémon trainer beats everyone easily at matches, and then mocks his most recent opponent. As a mythology gag, he reports on how annoyed they both are that Team Rocket even exists.
[Instrumental Open]
1. Here I stand; /
Time to take out / your last Mewtwo, / Mew / two! /
Endless fights; /
To become / a master it's true / true / true! /
My Charizard's evolved; / if you don't mind! /
I will put / him in play; / and win this time! /
Pokemon! /
(Chorus)
Next round, / I'll defeat you; /
With my / two spare Raichus! /
Super / effective too; /
Wish Team Rocket; / would just / go away! /
If Bul- / -basaur wins out; /
Your Meowth/ will surely pout! /
That's what; / it's all about! /
Wish Team Rocket; / would just / go away! /
2. Swoobat time! /
It will leave your Sandshrew in / pain / pain / pain! /
Grimer fight! /
You just used a Snorlax in vain, / in vain / in vain! /
Time that you go, / you've lost this match! /
I've brought my Toxicroak; /and Mr. Mime! /
It's Psyduck time! /
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental break]
(Final chorus)
Next match / I'll defeat you! /
With my/ last five Sandshrews! /
Blastoise; / will run you through! /
[Pause]
If Butterfree hurts you; /
Your fans / will desert you! /
And Nidoran will too! /
[Instrument break]
(Trail)
Sandlash hates you too; /
That's what Metalpod will do! /
And if Butterfree hurts you; / Your fans will desert you! /
Oh!!! / Yeah!!! /
