Team Four Star is currently producing the #Cell Games, where Dragon Ball Z’s “perfect warrior” meets other icons of pop culture. Suffice it to say the results are often hilarious, and his meeting with the Pokemon crew is no exception. Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu all happen upon a meditating Cell and mistake him for a Pokemon waiting to be fought.
The Pokedex offers no answers, but before they can launch their attack Cell aks them if they are there for the tournament. Ash and co. are surprised he can even talk, but they set that aside to start fighting, launching the adorable Squirtle into the ring.
As you can imagine, this is quite stunning to Cell. Ash explains this is a Pokemon battle, “Pokemon vs Pokemon”, but he doesn’t yet realize that Cell has no clue what that is.
“Okay, you’re saying that word but I don’t know what a…,” Cell says, before being cut off with a water gun attack. It has no effect, and the ensuing counterattack causes Squirtle to retreat into his shell.
Poor Squirtle.
Cell compares this to Duel Monsters, the game “that the boy in the leather pants” played with him. Ash cuts him off again though by launching Charizard in the ring. Cell is pretty impressed by the dragon, calling it “pretty metal”, but Brock ruins it by explaining he isn’t a Steel or Dragon Pokemon.
Yeah, kind of agree with Cell on that one. That makes zero sense.
In any case, that doesn’t do much either, but before Ash can launch another attack, good old Team Rocket hops on the scene. This sequence is kind of amazing, so no spoilers here, but Cell isn’t a fan. After that Cell decides to challenge the naming of Pokemon in the first place, pointing out the flaws in that title and offering some suitable replacements.
The whole thing is pretty hilarious, and you can watch the full episode above. For more details and videos you can check out Team Four Star’s Youtube page.
