POKEMON SONG PARODY EVENT
Are you one of those people who write as much lyrics as Taylor Swift after a break-up? Or are you one of those people who listened to the Elite Four theme and just had to sing along (to the nonexistent words)? Well, then this is the place for you,and its absolutely free! The Pokemon Song Parody competition is an event where you, the members of PokeCommunity get to write your own lyrics to popular PokeTunes (meaning the music found in-game, from any generation), maybe even sing along, and win prizes! It is a creative and fun-filled competition that takes almost no effort at all.
Categories
Lyrics Segment: here all you have to do is write new lyrics to Pokemon music found in the popular games. It can be witty, hilarious, tear-jerking, or all of the above!
Singing Segment: basically the same as the Lyrics Segment, but there is one catch...you actually have to sing/rap your lyrics to the tune! It takes courage, but these always turn out to be the most entertaining and creative!
Rules
1. All PokeCommunity rules apply (meaning be nice, fair, and nothing inappropriate).
2. Multiple submissions are permitted, but only one can win a prize.
3. No plagarism! Even if you are entering the Singing segment, you must use your own lyrics and sing them.

This way we know exactly which Pokemon song is being parodied. For example, if you just said "Route 1", we don't know if that is Kanto or Unova Route 1, and even if you did specify Kanto, we dont know which version (since all version have different tempos and the such). That way, if you just give us a link to the tune, we know exactly what the lyrics are supposed to be sung with!

Lyrics: (starts at 0:04)
First up is Brock he uses Ground and Rock
If you start with Squirtle you got this guy on lock
With a hit from his Bubble, you can take out the double,
Onix turns into rubble, Geodude is in trouble (oh!)
If you start with Charmander he's the hardest choice of the batch
You will need to take the Pokemon out with Ember and/or Scratch
Or you can, be a man, and go get a Caterpie
Level ten, that is when, it will evolve into Butterfree
Confusion might just be enough
But be careful Onix can be tough
If you have, Pikachu, you might want to store it away in a box
It will get crushed by rocks
If you start off with Bulbasaur
Vine Whip, Vine, Vine Whip!
