r/MetaRunner

That is my Question

Like imagine an alternative timeline were Tari survived the events of the Series Finale

Then at some point she got her own apartment probably near MD5 headquarters

How do vision it looking like? What type of apartment you think she can afford in the competitive gaming cash?

Theo would probably live with her though that basically like rising a child more or less

She could probably see MD5 headquarters from her window I imagine

But thats me what do you think it would be like?

Whoever gets the steam frame and has seen Meta Runner can make a magnet-suspended controller grip/holder thing for its controllers for when theyre in gamepad mode cuz the steam frame controllers have all the buttons of a regular controller.. *it's perfect*

That is my Question

So Racing games are very popular & stuff these days specially the classics like Mario Kart remember when OG SMG4 did Stupid Mario Kart World video & Tari was hyped about being in Rainbow Bridge? Yeah

So got me thinking what do you think Tari would be like in a competitive Racing game in your opinion? I think it would be interesting to seeing her in timeline were she survived the events of the Series Finale & trying to be nice while winning you know

Would be hilarious if winning got to her went something out of a Mashed video also imagine if Mashed did Meta Runner video by the way

But thats me what do you think?

That is my Question & Fallow-up to previous threads I did on this Sub Reddit

With Evil Versions of Tari being a thing on lots of SMG4 like Tendi & more resent examples being Tiffany & SMG7 so its sorta becoming more popular oh Meme Mayhem did there version to

So my Question is how do you imagine an evil version of Tari in Meta Runner Universe? My own idea is basically being a Runner version of Tendi with her origin basically being a prototype of Tari one Sheldon created before the finish product that is Tari

Would probably take place in universe were Tari somehow Survive Events of the Series Finale or somehow return to her body

Would be the classic Super Hero meeting his evil counterpart like Spiderman meeting Venom the classic one or one of his many clones

But thats me what is your Headcanon about this scenario?

(Part 2)

(I’m quite busy these next couple of months so expect the following chapters to come out later than usual)

Slide 1: Back in Pocket Gakusei; Tari, and her Terapagos and Floette, along with Yukina-Chan are actively attempting to find Lamar’s Classroom for contact with Tari and her Pokémon searching in every classroom whilst Yukina-Chan is trying to search on the Gakusei University’s Database for any leads. Tari, with her Pokémon enter one of the classrooms whilst asking out “Lamar?/Paga?/Flo?”, only to find out it’s a different player’s room with the latter reacting with “Aw yeah, check it! We got a new classmate! Can we get some RNG love in the chat for us?”, with Tari reacting with “Sorry! Wrong door”. They all go to another room to check but again it’s another player’s room whilst he reacts in a more casual tone with “Who’s this? Awwww, I wanted to get Mistuki-Chan….”, until a different voice in the background says “Jeremy! Put down your cartoon gorls and come to dinner!”, with Jeremy responding in annoyance with “It’s called ANIME, Mom…”. Tari reacts in embarrassment while Terapagos saying in a depleted tone “Terapag…”.

Slide 2: All of them check another room after that but this time, the player is speaking in a very creepy tone, saying “Ohh wHat’s THiS? AnOtHEr suPEr KAwaIi pAIr FOr my STuDy groUp?”. Tari and Terapagos both look at this player in genuine worry and concern for their safety while Floette is already out of the room. Tari quickly shuts the door to bring herself and Terapagos away from that player. Yukina-Chan then asks Tari with concern “Is everything alright Tari-Chan? Were you just shy of that one?”. Tari replies “Yeah… I guess you could say that”. Tari then gets an idea and says to everyone “Ok! How about this? If I’m gonna find Lamar, I just need to think like Lamar *Sigh*”. Tari then begins to “act” like Lamar by acting casually and smugly while saying “Yo guys what’s up? Lamar here! I love my car, and my anime, and my body pillows…”. Everyone else is eating Tari’s Lamar impression up happily with Terapagos and Floette cheering with “Tera! Paga! Tera! PAGA!”/“Flo lo ETTA!”, followed up by Yukina-Chan reacting in amazement with “Woah! Tari-Chan must know this Lamar student well seeing as she’s acting so confidently, that’s so inspiring!”.

Slide 3: Whilst acting, Tari suddenly gets a memory from when she was with MD-5 while speaking with Lamar back then where he said “Satsuki-Chan and Togekiss here are my side chicks. I’m a bit of a player, ya know what I’m sayin”. Tari then says out loud “Satsuki-Chan and Togekiss!”, and then turns to Yukina-Chan to say “Alright Yukina-Chan, I thought of something that could help us!”. Yukina-Chan replies in interest with “Oh great, hit me with it!”. Tari continues on with “Alright, my friend Lamar loves an anim-, I mean student pairing called Satsuki-Chan with her partner Togekiss. They wouldn’t happen to be in this school would they?”. Upon hearing the names, Yukina-Chan perks up and says “Huh?! Yes they are actually but I’m surprised that you know of them as the two of them are here for only a month as a guest speaker of sorts from a very prestigious sector! I’m actually friends with her too but I’ll call her so I can elaborate more!”.

Satsuki-Chan and Togekiss then spawn in front of all of them with a pleasant look on both their faces. Terapagos and Floette happily exclaim to greet the two of them and then Yukina-Chan continues on with “Satsuki-Chan is actually the leader of a space exploration team called Team Nova. It’s a very small team but I’m actually an honorary member of it but I don’t usually have the time to go on her missions as I’m typically caught up with studies here. Another thing about the team is that we all specialise in one Type each with me focusing on Ice Types with Koolippo and the rest of my team, Satsuki-Chan specialises in Fairy Types, and I know that another member specialises in Flying Types. But that’s just the general gist of it all. I wonder if your friend Lamar is part of the team too?”. Tari reacts to all of this with “It’s hard to say but seeing how much he loved Satsuki-Chan back then, it wouldn’t surprise me. Team Nova sounds like it’s a cool team but I’m just planning on meeting the two of them here for now”.

Slide 4: Tari then begins to talk to Satsuki-Chan and Togekiss with “Hi Satsuki-Chan, and you too Togekiss! You don’t know me and my Pokémon, but I’m pretty sure you know my friend”. The both of them look blankly at Tari whilst Tari carries on with “I really need to speak to him and I was hoping if you two can help me find him?”, to which Satsuki-Chan and Togekiss are still looking blankly at Tari. This concerns Tari and her Pokémon with the former asking “Hello?”. Yukina-Chan then seemingly remembers something and tells Tari and her Pokémon “Oh yeah! Err, you know how I told you that the two of them are very occupied and prestigious? Well, all of that weight causes them to occasionally have their heads in clouds, even in social situations. However, the two of them typically snap back into reality if they are interacted in a bonding-type setting”.

Tari’s Meta Runner Vision activates and displays a depleted gauge. She then asks Yukina-Chan “Alright well, what do you suggest me and my team should do in this bonding exercise of sorts?”. Yukina-Chan then passionately and animately replies with “Well, you did enroll at Gakusei University here in Jubilife City, “The City of Joy”. You should take them both on a date to express all of that joy!”. Tari reacts in slight surprise and responds reluctantly with “Oh boy…”.

Slide 5: Back at TASCorp, Lucks and his Lucks enters the room that the TASCorp Scientists have been monitoring Theo and Ogerpon. They both walk up to a couple of the scientists for Lucks to sternly ask “Where are they?”. One of the scientists brings up a page on the giant monitor that displays a file page. Lucks reacts in slight confusion and asks “What are they looking for there?” while the highlighter automatically scrolls and taps into each folder. Lucks then orders one of the scientists “Run the quarantine program in my private server”.

Slide 6: Within the server, Theo and Ogerpon are carefully looking through a bunch of files loaded in crates with the former saying “Let’s see, Inkay Records… nope! Clawitzer Launcher Blueprints… don’t know what that is. Ducklett Photos? Who’s been downloading all these?”, followed by the latter saying in a disgruntled and confused tone “Grah ponio?”. On the outside, Belle and Armarouge’s patience is wearing away slightly with the two of them saying “Taking your sweet time you too…”/“Rouge raaa…”. Theo responds back strictly with “Hey, calm down! Investigation is a delicate process.”, and then immediately follows up under his mouth with “Who am I kidding no it’s not. Ogerpon, let’s smash it open”. Ogerpon, just as bored as Theo, agrees as both of them smash the file crates into pieces.

Slide 7: Whilst looking at the mess that he and Ogerpon just caused, Theo then says “Boy, who knew companies would have so much data. We don’t even know where to look”. Suddenly, Green and Purple data particles flow behind Theo and Ogerpon and they both react with “Huh, who’s there?!”/“Pon?!”. Both particles streams flow around the two of them for a little bit until they stop at a certain file. Suspecting that they found something, Belle and Armarouge both ask “You find something?”/“Rou ragh?”. Theo then grabs the specific file and says “Maybe…. It says: “PROJECT: META-STELLAR GENESIS_CLEANUP_LUCINIA_&_ZAYLA”? Hold on, Terrin say months ago that Zayla is Tari’s Mom?”. At that moment, the transparent Zygarde Cell that’s been with Belle for a while now becomes more clearer as it eyes the screen on Belle’s shoulder. Upon hearing the file name, both Belle and Armarouge react in surprise with “Lucinia… and Zayla? Yes, that’s right!That’s the file! You two, get that file!”/“Raa…. Ra Rouge! Armara!”. Theo responds to this casually with “No problemo!” and tosses it up in the air to begin the upload!

Slide 8: Theo then dusts off his hands while saying to Ogerpon “There! That wasn’t so hard, right Ogerpon?”, with Ogerpon celebrating with “Ponyo pa!”. All of a sudden, the two of them hear an alarm and look around to see the quarantine bots coming towards Theo and Ogerpon to capture them! The two of them react in annoyance and both look back up at the file upload which is still loading, albeit slowly. Theo then calls out to Belle and Armarouge with “Hey we got a problem here!”. Belle assertively responds back with “You got to protect that upload you two, that’s your end of the bargain!”. Theo and Ogerpon reluctantly agrees and say whilst preparing to fight the bots “We’re ready for you this time!”/“Grah PONYA!”. One of the bots lunges towards Theo who dodges and then throws his coconut to destroy that bot!

Slide 9: Whilst Theo is waiting for his coconut to boomerang back towards him, one of the other bots attempts to lunge at Theo and Ogerpon but the former ducks to avoid it just in time and then quickly calls over to Ogerpon “Quick! Use Spiky Shield!”. Ogerpon quickly deploys several sharp foliage spikes in front of her to shield against the bot whilst also damaging it with the Spiky Shield! Theo’s coconut then successfully returns back to him just in time for it to be used to shield against the other bot! The impact of that bot’s push causes Theo to become dazed which gives one of the bots the chance to grab onto Theo and begin to pull him away! Ogerpon attempts to use Ivy Cudgel on the bot but the bot is too far out of reach.

Slide 10: Theo is struggling to attack the bot with his coconut but then remembers a strategy that he and Ogerpon used before! Theo then shouts down to Ogerpon with “Ogerpon, on the count to three, throw your Ivy Cudgel at the bot!”. Ogerpon affirms whilst Theo throws his coconut down and the counts to three for his coconut to return back and also for Ogerpon’s attack. The coconut and the Ivy Cudgel both land a clean hit on the bot, not before Theo impressively swinging out of the sway of the impact explosion! Theo then falls back down to the ground and lands on the last bot on the way down. Theo lands back on the ground but then the bot that he just fell on falls onto Theo which hurts him a bit.

Slide 11: Back in the monitoring room, Lucks sees that the quarantine bots were unsuccessful and then orders one of the scientists “Keep running the quarantine, devote any auxiliary system processing power to this”. In the server, Theo and Ogerpon wearily look back at the file upload that’s made barely any progress and then notice a whole swarm of the quarantine bots coming towards them as per Lucks’ command! This frustrates Theo and Ogerpon even more with the former worriedly saying to Belle and Armarouge on the outside “Hey, shouty duo? We’re not sure if we can handle this many!”. Belle then grabs the controller on the desk and responds back confidently with “Well, hold onto your coconut and cudgel you two, because me and Armarouge can!”.

Belle then puts in rapid commands into the controller to make Theo pulls his coconut out and back quickly with Theo asking “Is this another weird glitch?”, to which Belle replies in annoyance from Theo’s ignorance “Kid, what do you think we do for a living? Just sit back and enjoy the ride!”. Belle then manages to clone Theo’s coconut from the rapid inputs in which Theo says in amazement “Two. COCONUTS?!”. Belle doesn’t stop there, she continues to clone more and more of Theo’s coconuts with Theo and Ogerpon enjoying every bit of it! Theo says whilst laughing maniacally “Hahaha! It’s like my coconut is using Double Team!”.

Slide 12: After Belle has cloned several of Theo’s coconuts, the latter then says in an overwhelmed tone “This… this is too much power…”, to which Belle says back to Theo after activating her Meta Runner Arm to pull up Theo’s capabilities “You ain’t seen nothing yet kid” and then has Theo send out most of the coconuts at the quarantine bot hoard and then jump on a few others to destroy them! One of the bots targets Ogerpon but is damaged by Ogerpon using Spiky Shield again just in time and then destroyed completely by Ogerpon’s Ivy Cudgel right after! Theo then rounds up all of the coconuts that have been thrown out and are placed on Theo’s back, Theo reacts to this by jokingly saying “Hey, I’m like Terapagos with his huge shell in that sparkly form! I’m Terapatheo!”.

Slide 13: Theo then aims at the rest of the quarantine bot hoard by using his arm length to help Belle out. Belle then says to both him and Ogerpon “Hey you two, which this.” and proceeds to send out a load of the coconuts up at a 45 degree angle, completely away from the bots! This confuses Theo and Ogerpon into saying “Err, I think you missed”/“Grah pon! Grah ya!”. Belle, along with Armarouge, both reply smugly with “Ohh, did I?”/“Armaraha!”. The coconuts that have been thrown out then proceed to fly in a cyclone motion around Theo and Ogerpon which completely amazes them! The coconut cyclone begins to destroy every bot that comes near it! Belle then calls over to Ogerpon and Armarouge to say “Hey Ogerpon! No need for you to sit out in this! Use Ivy Cudgel and Spiky Shield at the same time and go nuts on them! *To Armarouge* Hey bud, when you see an opening, use Expanding Force on the bots too!”. Both Pokémon do exactly that with Theo saying excitedly “This is AWESOME! All the fun of killing without barely any effort!”.

Slide 14: Two of the bots attempt to catch Theo and Ogerpon within the cyclone but one of them is destroyed. The other bot reacts to this by attempting to infiltrate by flying above and then into the cyclone instead! Belle and Armarouge notices this and the former says “Ohhh no you don’t!” and then has Theo ascend by using his coconuts as footstools! Armarouge then calls over to Ogerpon to prompt her to follow suit with “Raghrouge!”. Ogerpon hears this and begins to pogo on her Ivy Cudgel to bounce up to Theo’s height! The two of them manages to get to the bots level and destroys it with a strong combined attack of Theo’s coconut and Ogerpon’s Ivy Cudgel! The two of them both land back on the ground with the former saying with vigor “You may take our files, but you’ll never take our FREEDOM!”, followed up by the latter yelling out triumphantly!

Slide 15: Theo and Ogerpon both turn around to hear the file upload pinged from being fully up loaded and say casually “Oh hey the file’s done”/“Pon pon”. Belle reacts with increasing joy while saying “I got it… I GOT IT!”, but then suddenly gasps as she might’ve blown her cover from shouting! She quickly turns to Armarouge to say “Bud! Return now!”, to which Armarouge is caught off guard by but is returned back to its Ultra Ball. A passing TASCorp Agent heard Belle’s yelling and cautiously begins to search the room to see what that was about. The Agent then goes to the monitor to hear Theo and Ogerpon saying with passion “Alright! Let’s get the rest of them!…. Shouty duo? Hello?”/“Grah ponya?… PON PON?!”.

Slide 16: The agent then begins to dial up the rest of security while Belle comes out of a cardboard box that she was hiding under. Belle looks over at the monitor and sighs in a conflicted tone and then looks towards the exit. In the server, the rest of the quarantine bot hoard are closing in on Theo and Ogerpon with the two of them in concern with the former asking “Hey, you still there?! We really need some help!”. However, Belle proceeds to escape out of the abandoned lab to safety! Theo and Ogerpon attempt to fight the bots but struggle significantly without the power and skill difference from Belle and Armarouge’s help! The two of them eventually get knocked down and are too tired to carry on fighting!

Slide 17: Belle successfully escapes back into the hallway with the Project: Meta-Stellar Genesis File uploaded into her Arm. She then sends Armarouge back out with Armarouge feeling bad for leaving Theo and Ogerpon but Belle says to it “I know we shouldn’t have dipped but it was my fault for yelling. They did the job though”. Belle then turns back to the room and says “Sorry you two…” and then goes back to her room along with Armarouge. Lucks sees that the quarantine program was successful this time and one of the bots attempts to drop Theo and Ogerpon back into the confinement box but he then says “Wait, the containment server won’t hold them. Clearly the reason our guests keep on running away is because we haven’t made them feel quite at home.” and then turns back to the scientists with a sinister look and continues on with “Let’s remedy that”. One of the scientists then activates a function on the giant monitor whilst Lucks stands smartly and Luxray watches cautiously…

Slide 18: Theo and Ogerpon begin to wake up with the former jumping up saying “Shouty duo!”. However, the two of them looks around at their surroundings and are on… SimpleFlip Island?! Theo and Ogerpon react to this with “We’re home? We’re home!”/“Ponio? Poniopa!”. They then jump up in celebration but when they land back on the ground, both of their models glitch partially into the sand with the universe stuttering! Theo then says “Well… that’s… different…” and tries to jump out of the sand but glitches even more with Ogerpon being the same! Theo then resorts to talking to the Elder Tomato by saying “Hey, Elder Tomato? What’s going o-o-on?”. The Elder Tomato replies with his typical in-game advice but this time it’s more jumbled up along with the Elder Tomato glitching heavily and eventually slipping out of Theo’s hands and then despawning himself. All of a sudden, several glitchy and erratic Facepalm and a giant warped Alolan Exeggutor comes out from the ground! Theo and Ogerpon attempt to fight back but both their attacks are ineffective! Theo and Ogerpon yell out in complete horror “WHAT’S HAPPENING?!”/“GRAH PONYAAAAAAGH?!”.

Slide 19: Theo and Ogerpon then spots a Weepinbell trying to defend itself against a glitched out Crabrawler! The former shouts over to it “Hey! It’s y-you fr-ooo-m forever-er-r ago!”, but the frenzied glitched out Facepalms and Alolan Exeggutor close in on Theo and Ogerpon with them screaming in horror! Back at TASCorp, Lucks watches the chaos unfold on the giant monitor after seeing the glitched out UJM cartridge inserted. He smirks and then walks to exit, not before Luxray watching the chaos too but in a much more serious and concerned way…

this is around season 2 lol

That is my Question & Fallow-up to thread I did couple months ago

I think would be interesting if Tari played a horror game & even accidentally warp herself into one I think it would be both hilarious and dark at the same time

Specially how she handles it all including getting out I imagine it in timeline were she survived the events of the Series Finale & is playing a few games plus exploring more of Silica City

Then buys a Horror game during Halloween or like few days before it then she Warps then an adventure happens

With some sort of hilarious B Plot

So yeah would fun to see but thats me how about you?

while I was reviewing Meta Runner material to try and work on the Meta Runner: Angel Return story, I remembered that at the end of Season 3, Episode 8, Tari gains access to any game. I noticed they would have access to Pocket Gakusei—which is an online game—so I thought that, technically, Tari and Theo could meet or run into each other in the game. Would that make sense or not?

they got warped into the wrong game and are now stuck as baristas
