So, this is something stupid I've been brainstorming on and off for, oh, I'd say about six years now. I've thought about it every now and again, but I've never really had any way of putting it all together. But you know what, I wanted to see what I could drum up to celebrate the Pokethon.
Anyway, this is a parody of "If I Had $1000000" by the Barenaked Ladies. I've noticed a couple things in the Pokemon games cost $1000000), and when I come across them in playthroughs, I tend to sing the song replacing stuff like "fur coat" with "Slowpoketail" or "limousine" with "Bicycle." Ever since I started doing that, I've wondered if I could make a whole song out of it, and finally, just in time for the Pokethon, I've done it to my satisfaction.
There are plenty of Pokemon references to be found. See how many you can find (though I just softballed you two of them). Also, the end is a pun. Bonus points for that.

We wouldn’t have to drink Fresh Water!
(But we would drink Fresh Water.
-Gotta be better for you than Lemonade!
-Yeah, I don't get how Lemonade heals more than water.
-Must be all that sugar.
-Then wouldn't Soda Pop heal the most?
-Only if they use real sugar.
-Ah.)
