Epilogue
Lights, camera, action!
Grab your snacks and get comfortable, because we're hosting a Jackie Chan double feature today. This presentation is a classic in his movie repertoire. But tonight, we're bringing together two Jackie Chan movies that you'd probably never traditionally see together like this; yet I think make one perfect double feature.
The timeless classic, Fearless Hyena—and the action hit, Rumble in the Bronx.
Our action begins wit the star himself, Jackie Chan. Portrayed here by our masterful array of Pokémon. In Fearless Hyena, Jackie is looking to avenge the death of his fallen master, by beating the master that killed him. And in Rumble in the Bronx, Jackie is looking to somehow save a crippled wizard boy, who although seemingly helpless, has the power to play Game Gear without any actual games in the system. There's also a hot babe too that looks after him—which I guess is reason enough all by itself to save the day.
But either way, we're and looking to get straight down to business, and use Rare Candy to get us to Luxray without any monkey business. From there, we come out with Luxray BREAK (and like all kung-fu masters) hope to land lucky punch in [Wild Fury].
Given the gamble involved with this, Muscle Band is here to back us against the liability that luck might bring to the table. It also pairs very well with [Flash Impact] and [Fang Snipe]. Granting us 80 damage for one energy with the first—then with the second bumping up an already considerably game-breaking attack (what with the ability to discard any Trainer card from our opponent's hand) to a more heftier 60 damage a hit.
This perfect combination of power and technique is just the style needed to bring any opponent down—even at their strongest.
Jolteon EX is another strong card—who at first kind of doubles as our hot lady co-star (a must have in almost every Jackie Chan movie) is another strong card—yet also embodies Jackie's lightning fast moves. Jolteon EX is simply a powerhouse with the ability to shutdown Basic Pokémon, and the utility of this attack works all kinds of magic so that Luxray and Luxray BREAK can shine.
However, I strongly believe that trying to over-rely on one card is bad technique. Jolteon-EX is the kind of card where just one copy is going to win you the game, or the card in general just isn't going to be much help to you. And that's why we have just one copy of Jolteon EX in here—juxtaposed alongside two copies of [Outrage] Zekrom (which is a much more universally offensive and defensive card—and therefore possesses a little more overall potential).
Fighting Fury Belt is also in here as a tech for Zekrom. Think of it as like the legendary jacket that Jackie takes off before getting ready to rumble—or maybe the weighted bags ties to the ropes in Jackie's kung-fu training. It takes the power of [Outrage] to the next level—and gives Zekrom the power to take down an entire army all by himself.
That's sure to come in handy in China and the Bronx. Since with all those people, there's sure to be more weirdos where that came from.
