Quite a few pokemon and humans turned pokemon wake up in the Everfree Forest. Maybe they should stay there.
An average man, a Nurse Joy, and a Mankey all wake up in the Everfree Forest. While there they constantly get lost again, and again each time encountering outrageously insane, unpredictable, and unexplainable characters.
Normally if someone shouted that they would immediately be relieved by a splash of water, but in this case the person screaming was a Fire type pokemon. So you can understand the confusion of the various other pokemon that were watching the Ponyta run around in panic.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
"If you can stop being ridiculous for one moment, I would very much appreciate if you can flip me back over."
"Huh?" the Ponyta looked around, and promptly face planted the ground after tripping over her own hooves. "Ow." The Ponyta looked down at herself. "Oh, I see, I'm having another one of those dreams where I'm a pokemon." she grinned.
"Yeah, that's great now a little help?"
The Ponyta looked to where the voice was coming from, and saw a Dunsparce that had been rolled over on its back. "Oh my, just a moment." she stood on her hooves, and started trotting toward the snake pokemon. "Oof!" and face planted again. "Ow."
She eventually managed to find her balance, and walk. The Ponyta used her nose to push the Dunsparce over onto its belly.
"Thank you, but this is not a dream." the Dunsparce told her.
"Oh, really?"
"Really."
Okay then prove it." she challenged.
"... Okay." Dunsparce opened his mouth and said "SCREECH!" An incredibly loud, and startling sound even worse than the most annoying alarm clock hit the Ponyta's ears.
"Gah! Make it stop!" the Ponyta started running around again. "Make it sto-oof, ow." she had face planted again.
The Dunsparce stopped its attack. "Are you alright?"
"Um, that depends." she back up. "Am I really not dreaming?"
"Nope."
"Well darn." She held a distant thoughtful look for a few moments. Then she exploded. Her fire grew very tall, and she suddenly looked much larger than she had before. "Show me the one responsible for this! Who would do something so arrogantly controlling as to change a person's body without permission? I will give them a piece of my mind!" She unleashed a powerful Flamethrower on a nearby tree.
"... Feel better?" the Dunsparce asked carefully.
The Ponyta deflated from her outburst, and hung her head. "Yeah, a little." she said.
"Well whatever is responsible for you being a Ponyta also transformed me into a Dunsparce." the snake looked back at himself, and sighed. "I'm going to miss my legs, and my arms."
"You're a human too?"
"Yes I am, my name is..." he was interrupted by a white round furry thing falling out of the burning tree.
The new pokemon had burn marks all over its white fur. The Mankey looked at them with an angry light in its eyes. "Grrrrrrr!"
"...
"...
"RAAAAHHHH! Fury Swipes!" the pig monkey pokemon attacked them.
"Aaahhh!" they both screamed in pain and ran away, unknowingly driving themselves deeper into the forrest.
In the town of Ponyville, standing atop a tall tree was a pink pony mare. She was most unusual for an earth pony as she could do a great many things that earth ponies could not normally do. Most ponies thought that Pinkie Pie was strange, but even she made sense compared to this mare. She had a pink coat with a purple and white mane, and tail that bounced, and billowed like a cotton candy cloud. She wore a propeller beanie on her head, and her eyes were purple with pink swirls.
Standing on the leaves of the tree she started walking down the side like a bug would walk down the wall of a house. She did not fall, or have any trouble at all. When she reached the ground she trotted off in the direction of the Everfree Forest, and started singing.
"All of these creatures look like so much fun, spreading chaos everywhere enough for everyone. But there is something different about my home, something is different in the forest that I roam. The chaos is shrinking, and it has got me thinking. Someone has invaded, and now chaos has faded. But it will not last, I will go there fast. My father will be so ever proud of me, when I restore the natural balance to the Everfree."
With her song done the strange mare passed the first trees of the forest. If anypony had been close enough to see they would have witnessed her vanishing from sight.
"Aaahhh!" The formerly human Ponyta, and Dunsparce continued to run from the angry Mankey.
"Close Combat!" the Mankey dashed closer to them with the single simple intention of clobbering them.
The Ponyta looked back over her shoulder just in time to see her attacker come in range, and took a chance at a counter attack. "Hi-yah!" she bucked her hind legs out behind her, and hit the Mankey in the face with both hooves.
A loud bang signaled that the Mankey had kissed a large rock at high speed.
Mankey woke up to find a Ponyta, and a Dunsparce (the same Ponyta and Dunsparce) standing over him. He found it hard to be angry at them since they had apparently given him first aid. He held a paw to his aching head, and found a small block of ice. "Where did you find ice?" he looked around seeing only trees. He also noted that despite being somewhere around midday it was incredibly dark because of how thick the branches on the trees were.
"Turns out I know Ice Beam." the Dunsparce said with a hint of pride.
"Oh, well thanks for healing me."
The Ponyta puffed her chest out. "Well I may not be a human anymore, but I'm still Nurse Joy." she told him.
The Mankey, and Dunsparce stared at her. "Your a human? " "Your a Joy?" they asked respectively.
"Yes, why, don't you believe me?" she was worried that they would confuse her for a lire. She was not a lire and she did not want anyone to think that she was.
"Well, " Mankey spoke "I guess stranger things have happened than a human getting turned into a pokemon, so I'll give you the benefit of doubt on that, but..." Mankey looked at the Dunsparce.
They said it together. "Why would a Nurse Joy get turned into a Ponyta?"
Joy thought about it for a moment, then squinted her eyes. Suddenly she exploded again. "And what's wrong with Ponyta?"
They frantically backed away, and carefully shouted "Nothing, there's nothing wrong with Ponyta. Ponyta is awesome!"
"I know that, and don't you forget it." Joy warned them, and trotted away.
"... If we make her angry we die don't we." the Dunsparce said. Getting no response he looked at the Fighting type.
Mankey had oversized throbbing hearts in place of his eyes. "She's beautiful!" Mankey followed after her.
"Uhg, hey wait for me!" the Dunsparce chased after them. "My name is Rusty by the way, if anyone cares."
Zecora was in her hut making a wild vegetable stew. She hummed a nursery rhyme to herself. She finished stirring, and poured herself a bowl. She thought it was such a pity that most of the meal would go bad overnight, but it was only her out here in the Everfree so there was nothing to be done about it.
"Ahem."
Slightly startled by the voice that sought her attention Zecora dropped her bowl. She frowned at the spilled soup before turning her attention to the responsible pony. Which was not a pony.
Three Spindas were standing in her doorway. The tallest wore a pair of brown pants held up by a black belt, not the martial arts kind but a regular belt. The middle sized one had a dopey expression, and had his tongue hanging out, he wore a blue sweater, and a red cap that sat backwards on his head. The smallest, and cutest of the trio wore a pink skirt, and had a yellow flower stuck behind her ear.
They started an odd song.
"Double double toil and trouble fire burn and cauldron bubble. We came here to have some fun. Double double toil and trouble fire burn and cauldron bubble. Something wicked this way comes."
"I'm Yakko." the eldest said.
"I'm Wakko." the middlest said.
"And I'm there sister Dot." the littlest said.
Zecora chuckled at them, and poured four bowls of stew. She may like living out in the forest by herself, but the occasional visit from a friend was always welcome.
Wakko ate his meal, bowl included. Zecora frowned at him.
Yakko looks out of the screen at you. "This ain't so bad, let's just hope we don't have to find a new special friend." he tells you.
Elsewhere across the land a pompous unicorn prince, and a hard headed professor both shuttered.
Nurse Joy, Rusty, and Mankey were passing quietly through the trees. They did not notice the glowing orange eyes that were watching them from the twisted intertwined branches of a gnarled tree. "Hm, now this is interesting." the voice belonging to the eyes was a low feminine hum. "I wonder what they are scared of." The speaker took to the air on dark bat like wings, flying up she broke through the tree tops, and posed in front of the rising moon revealing herself to be a bat winged pony.
As she flew off ahead of her soon to be prey, a small purple rat like pokemon watched her leave. The Rattata looks out of the screen at you. "Oooo, that was creepy wasn't it." the Rattata tells you before pulling a jetpack out from nowhere and putting it on. "Well, I'm out see you guys next chapter, and if you see Weiss remember to tell him that he's a total plot head." With that the Rattata laughed insanely as he took off on jetpack power spinning completely out of control.
In the darkness of the Everfree Forest at near midnight a unicorn stallion was sneaking around the trunks of some impressively sized trees. He was a pale sickly green, and his hair a greased black with two thin white lines in his mane and tail that looked suspiciously like stitches. He was wearing a dirty torn patched lab coat.
At present he was carrying a burlap sack on his back. He walked with a slight limp in his left foreleg as he stealthily made his way through the forest. He paused every so often to leer over his shoulder, and check to see if he was being followed.
The sack got snagged on a thorny branch, and tore open spilling body parts onto the forest floor. "Damb it to Celes-" he clapped a hoof over his muzzle, and cast a wide eyed gaze around at the trees. He did not know if the rumors about the princess being able to hear her name whenever wherever it was said, but he certainly was not going to test them. He quietly picked the organs, and limbs up with his magic, stuffed them them back into the sack, and mended the tattered fabric.
The stallion continued on his way, all the while thinking about how he could improve his experiment. The three Spinda siblings watched him go, and promptly invented a short song about him. "He digs up dead bodies and sews them together. Him and Hannibal Lecter are birds of a feather. He's Dr Shocktor Frankenstallion the Everfree freak."
Dr Frankenstallion was nearing his home when he heard someone trotting not far away. He preferred not to bump into somepony, but he would not say no to some fresh parts if he could get them. The doctor followed the sounds until he came across a trio of odd looking creatures. One was a pony of some kind that he had never seen, it had fire sprouting from its, no her! "Yes that will work just fine."
Nurse Joy was leading the way through the darkness. Her flames burning bright enough to let them see their way. Rusty had gotten the hang of floating through the air like Dunsparce are able to do using their small wings, and could keep up with her easily. The Mankey who had identified himself as Monk, was swinging from tree to tree, following the one that was his soul mate.
"Oh, my it's getting late." Joy looked up at the impenetrable canopy of tree branches. "I think."
"Late or not we need to find someplace to rest." Rusty told her.
They turned a corner around one larger tree, and came face to face with the doctor. They all screamed like little girls. Monk, and Rusty both clung onto Joy's neck as she reared back, and waved her forehooves in the air.
"My apologies, I didn't mean to startle you." Dr Frankenstallion spoke in a strange accent that made him sound like a cartoon villain. "I saw your light, and was wondering if you'd like to stay at my home for the evening."
They talked amongst themselves for a minute, agreeing that he was indeed very creepy. They came to the decision that they simply needed a place for the night more than he disturbed them. They nodded at him.
"Oh, good, good, follow me." He resettled the sack on his back, and it gave a slight squishy noise.
Dr Frankenstallion lived in a small stone castle atop a lone mountain. He led them inside, and showed them to their rooms. It was an hour after they had settled down that a shadowy figure flew through one of the windows.
She was Scary Story, and she was a thestral, a bat pony. Her coat was midnight black, her eyes a luminous orange that made the slit pupils look like they belonged to a feline, and her mane and tail hair was the color of silver moonlight. Her cutie mark was of a lit candle, the wax dripping down into the shape of a pony skull. Scary Story was talented in fear. She could figure out what frightens anypony within moments, and craft a chilling tale that would leave them shaking.
Currently Scary Story was stalking these strange creatures. Of course there were plenty of other creatures in the Everfree Forest just like them, but these three intrigued her. Especially that firey mare that looked so much like a pony, yet was not one.
Scary Story quietly made her way through the dark corridor. She eventually found what she was looking for, just not how she expected.
The mare, who she knew to identify as Nurse Joy, was laying unconscious in the middle of the hall next to her open chamber door. Now Scary was not the type to be overly concerned about somepony that she had never actually met before, but she still felt the need to help. Before she could do anything however there was the slightest hum of magic behind her.
"Uhh!" she grunted, and collapsed to the floor. Standing behind her was Dr Frankenstallion.
It was a mad laugh that woke her from her slumber. Scary Story looked around to see that the one that had captured her was trotting around, and laughing at something. She looked over and saw that he had strapped the other mare to a table, and had complicated looking equipment hooked up to her.
"Hey, nut ball!" Scary yelled.
"Oh, you're awake already I see." the stallion answered with a crazed smile. "Allow mw to introduce myself, I am Dr Shocktor Frankenstallion."
"Yeah yeah, what the Tartarus do you think you're doing to her?" Scary growled at him.
"Oh, just my experiment." he laughed a little too long at that.
"Riiiight, and that would be what exactly?" she had a feeling that the answer would be something bad. He walked over to Joy who was starting to come around. "You see for several years I've been trying to unlock the secrets of life, death, and immortality." he stopped to point a hoof at Joy. "This one possesses the inner power that I need to give my creation life."
"What creation?" Scary was curious at this point so keeping him talking was rather easy. Now if she could just get her hooves free from this rope, not really an issue when you have fangs.
Dr Frankenstallion moved to a larger table that had a large something on it covered by a white sheet. He pulled the sheet off to reveal a stallion that had been stitched together from dead pony body parts. The sight made both mares sick.
"So what do you need her for exactly?" she just needed him to look away and she could cut through the rope in one bite.
"Her inner fire will provide the life force necessary for my monster to live, so I am afraid that I will have to drain it from her."
"But that will kill me!" Nurse Joy screamed.
"HAHAHA!" the doctor laughed, and turned away from them to his equipment.
Scary Story quickly bit through the rope, and flew across the room. She plowed into him, smashing his face into the machine causing it to turn on, and raise the table holding the dead monster pony up through a hole in the roof. She then threw the unconscious mad scientist out the window.
Scary quickly untied Joy. The fire pony was unharmed, but still rather shaken. "Thank you."
The thestral looked at the Ponyta in fascination. "What are you?" she asked.
That question led to a discovery that they were of two different worlds. Which led Nurse Joy to explain about pokemon. Which led Scary Story to tell her new friend about Equestria, and the royal sisters, and the Elements of Harmony. Eventually Joy asked Scary how she could understand pokemon if she was not one. Scary explained that her necklace, a simple silver chain from which hung two interlocked horse shoes, was enchanted to let her understand anyone no matter their language.
"So Princess Luna was on the moon for a thousand years for real?" Joy just could not believe it.
"Yes, I can only imagine how lonely Luna must have become, if she was even aware at the time." Scary could not for the life of her figure out why she was still talking to this mare. Yes it was interesting to actually have to explain the history of Equestria to somepony who didn't know it, but she wasn't that interesting. It! It wasn't that interesting.
"And your sure that that Discord person isn't evil? I'd really hate to run into someone that can turn me into me into a chocolate statue, or make it rain exploding milk." Joy shuttered when she tried to imagine a pokemon that mischievous that had that kind of power.
Scary Story suddenly felt very protective of her new girlfriend, FRIEND new friend. Scary thought for a moment. "Oh buck it." "Um, Joy, I know we only just met so please don't think I'm some kind of loose mare or anything, it's just that we ponies are naturally affectionate, and you're rather attractive."
"... Oh." Nurse Joy blushed. Far away in the Crystal Empire the alicorn Princess Cadence smiled in approval of a newly blossomed love.
Circles. That is all that he knew at the moment. Circling around in the sky above the Everfree Forest. Circling around like a rodent running circles around a circular maze as it tries to reach the piece of cheese tied to its tail. The reason for his...
"If you say circles one more time I swear to Arceus that I will find some way to use the internet as a blunt weapon, and beat you to death with it."
... The Rattata continued on in his perfectly level rotating flight path. The reason for this was that his jetpack had malfunctioned. So it was that he continued on his rotating path that had started shortly after takeoff, and lasted for several hours.
He was quite sick to his stomach now, and felt like ejecting his breakfast.
"Yeah, right now would be a really inconvenient time for someone to be underneath meeeaaach!" he vomited. "Oh, gee ya think, bleeeaaach!" he vomited again. "Ugh, this feels like the time I tried that imitation MexIndian food at the mall, it was like I bleeeaaach!" and one more time. Luckily all of the vomit harmlessly landed on the ground.
"What?" he asked. "That's it? I puke while flying around in circles," he said circles. "and nothing else happens? Laaaaaaame."
Ah, but it seems that not all of it hit the ground, as one poor pokemon was unfortunate enough to be flying beneath him looking up in wonder at the flying Rattata. "Ha! Now that's more like it. So who got the hot wet facial."
It was Zapdos. "........jerk." Indeed Joker, indeed.
The Legendary came up behind him, great wings barely flapping as electricity sparked from them. Joker tried reasoning with the Legendary. "I don't suppose you'd believe me if I said it was the voice in my head who did that would you?"
"Discharge!"
I don't think you are forgiven Joker. "No shi" the attack hit its mark "iiieeieiiet!"
Electricity jolted through the jetpack connecting with the malfunctioning parts, and "Weeeeeeeeeee!" sent Joker flying off like a rocket. Zapdos followed closely behind, covered in a field of electricity.
The Legendary Electric Pokemon sent Zap Cannon after Zap Cannon at the rocket propelled Rattata missing every single time. "Ahhh yeah! Who's bad? I'm bad! Hammer time! Can't touch this!" Joker celebrated too soon. "Huh?" a shadow fell across him. When he looked up Joker found himself staring into the eyes of Electric vengeance. "Well, crap." he deadpanned.
A malicious grin appeared on Zapdos' beak. "Thunder!"
From the clear sky above a single bolt of powerful lightning shot down. It connected with Zapdos first, mixing with the Legendary's own power to become even stronger. When it struck Joker the Thunder was nearly twice its normal power. The jetpack exploded, causing Zapdos to look away from the rodent.
The attack that was once known as the most powerful Electric move continued on down, and would probably have harmlessly hit the ground if the lightning rod had not gotten in the way. Electricity traveled down the rod, along the many wires at the bottom, and into the dead body that the wires connected to. Dr Frankenstallion's monster lay motionless for a moment. Then the monster's hooves started to twitch.
Zapdos was still in the sky above, furiously searching for a target. "He went that way." Zapdos turned to look at the voice's owner. A small Spearow pointed its beak in a random direction. The Legendary thanked the tiny bird pokemon, and went hunting.
When Zapdos was out of earshot the Spearow opened its beak and laughed. "Good thing I'm a Ditto." Indeed Joker, indeed.
Joker flew down to the ground, and shapeshifted into an oddly costumed human. He then took a quick look around before setting himself to the task of gathering supplies. Moments later he started building a device that would allow him to send a message. When he was finished anyone who saw it would recognise it, but they would be confused as to how he had gotten the complicated looking targeting system.
He then picked up a coconut sized rock, and began writing on it with a permanent marker. "To Weiss. Haha, got you. With love, and a punch to the groin. From your pal, Joker."
Joker then loaded the ammunition into his giant slingshot, and looked through the scope. With the infrared lens he was able to see his target in the reflection of the layer of magic in the sky. "There you are!" He stepped back, and pulled the release lever. "Sling!"
Elsewhere, a Bisharp would be hit in the helm by a rock.
Butch and Cassidy were having a pretty hard time. They had a perfect scam going, with no good little twerps to interfere. Then she showed up. Officer Jenny had, seemingly at random, showed up to arrest them.
"Is she still chasing us?" asked Butch.
Cassidy looked back, slightly off balance from the bag of pokeballs on her back. "Yeah, she is."
"How is she still on us?" complained Butch. "We've dropped oil slicks, spikes, traps, and bombs." his own bag of balls was feeling heavier by the minute.
Cassidy smirked. "I bet she gives up after this." she reached into her bag, and pulled out a random pokeball. "Go pokemon!"
It was a Voltorb that came out off the ball, and as you should know they have one main response to battle. So naturally it Exploded. Officer Jenny had enough time to shout "Halt in the name of the law!" before taking an exploding Voltorb to the face.
Butch, and Cassidy both laughed. Then they heard something behind them. "Raaaaaah!" They looked back over their shoulders to see what it was. Jenny was suddenly very close behind them, either that or she had enlarged herself to twice her normal size. I said halt!
Butch and Cassidy both screamed, and ran faster. "Just wait till I get my claws on you!" Jenny yelled at them. They actually made the mistake of looking back again, and they call Jessie James and Meowth stupid. This time they saw that Jenny had grown actual claws along with fangs and horns. "Raaaaah!" They ran even faster, but it was no good. Jenny accelerated, kicking up a dust cloud in her wake, and caught her prey.
Jenny was in the process of shaking the Team Rocket duo like rag dolls when an out of breath Growlithe slowly walked up to her panting heavily. She looked at her partner with mild concern, and asked if he was okay. "You need to exorcise more pal, you're out of shape."
"...growlithe growl." freaking cyborg " the dog deadpanned. Yes, I suppose that is a little extreme even for a Jenny.
The three humans all ccollapsed to the ground. Hmm, now I wonder what could possibly have made them all fall asleep like that all at once.
Rest now my children, and when you awake a whole new world will be your home.
Rusty and Monk woke up to find Joy's room empty. Monk immediately went in search of his beloved Joy. "Hey wait up!" Rusty shouted. They looked in every room they came to, until they eventually found their way to the lab. On the ground floor, and the last place that they checked.
Monk struck a heroic pose as he kicked the door open. "I am here for you myyyyyyyyy..." annnd he's broke.
Rusty floated in, took one look at Joy's blush, and the odd bat winged Ponyta who was smiling with smoke puffing out from her mouth. Monk fell over from shock. Rusty deadpanned "I'm not carrying him."
A bolt of powerful electricity surged down through the lift that stood in the middle of the room. The power cut off the lift and made it return to the floor. On the lift was the Frankenstallion monster, which was now standing.
"Yes!" everyone jumped, and looked to where the voice had come from. Dr Frankenstallion was climbing in through the window. "Haha, my creation lives! I'm brilliant!"
"Didn't I throw you out of a window?" Scary asked.
"Yes, yes you did, but we are on the ground floor."
"...oh." sorry about that Scary. "Well we're not going to let you use this monster for evil."
"Who said anything about evil? I'm just a mad scientist." he held a hoof to his chest. "All though..." he suddenly seems to have had some kind of epiphany. I wonder why. "I guess resurrecting the dead to make an army of unbeatable mind controlled servants does count as evil." oh. "So I'll just have my monster kill you all so I can turn you all into undead slaves."
It is now the narrator's suggestion for everyone to run! Thankfully they don't need to be able to break the fourth wall in order to know that. Now I don't actually have a proper way of describing what happens next so I'll just tell you to watch a chase scene from Scooby Doo.
Zecora had taken another pokemon into her home. Mage the Mismagius was very grateful, but could have done without the three Spinda siblings taking one look at her and yelling about a big mean old ugly ghost and then running away screaming.
Now the three siblings have found their way to a castle in the forest. Inside they bumped into an odd group of individuals. Yakko held up a stop sign, causing everyone to, well stop. "Don't you people know that it's rude to crash into someone without first introducing yourself first."
They all, and I mean everyone, blinked and then introduced themselves. "Scary Story." the bat pony received a no thanks. "I'm Nurse Joy." Yakko and Wakko both said "Hellooooo nurse!" which made Joy back up a step. "The unconscious Mankey is Monk, and I'm Rusty."
"An oil bath will clear that right up." Yakko told him. Rusty just...well Dunsparce don't open their eyes, but if they did he would have blinked.
"Yeeesh! Who's this guy?" Dot pointed at the monster. "He's almost as ugly as this guy." she pointed at Dr Frankenstallion.
"Oh he's the bad guy, and we're trying to escape him." Scary explained.
"Well good luck with that." the Spindas walked away.
The others all blinked before continuing with their running. This quickly became another comical chase scene. Scary Story took a different turn than the rest, and found herself in the library.
"...hm." she forgot about the others for the moment and looked around for the horror section. She failed to find any kind of organization in how the books were shelved, but she did manage to find something. "This looks good."
The book in her hooves was titled :
From the Abyss
, and looked like it was very old going by how faded and torn it was. She sat down next to the shelf and opened the book. Her eyes went completely blank, and she started mumbling in an ancient forgotten language. Tendrils of dark energy slowly slithered out of the book, and began to climb up her body. Scary Story was being given knowledge of the darkest power from the Abyss, home of the demons, in exchange for her soul.
On a higher shelf another book that was only just balanced in place suddenly fell. The book knocked the first one out of Scary's hooves, and landed in them itself. The darkness immediately returned to within the book. She blinked a few times to clear her head, and then read the title of her new book.
The Forth Wall, a user's guide: by P.D.P.
Officer Jenny could hear a lot of screaming coming from inside the castle. She isn't quite sure about her new body, but someone was in trouble. She jumped through the window, and found herself completely surrounded by chaos. "Well... Time to get to work." she took a deep breath and shouted "Everyone stop in the name of the law!"
Now you may think that simply being shouted at wouldn't be enough to pot a stop to being chased around by a monster, but when the one doing the shouting is a Jigglypuff people tend to pay attention. "Alright someone tell me what's going on here."
"I know that voice!" Joy exclaimed. "Jenny it's me Joy I got turned into a Ponyta which is great but now me and my friends are being chased by a monster and that guy wants to turn us into his undead minions!"
Officer Jigglyuh I uh, ahem, Jenny didn't even blink. She stared for a moment before...
Bang, clash, boom, whack, smack, slap, crash, bamf, and other assorted sound effects.
After his total beat down Dr Frankenstallion was tied up, and his monster who was apparently friendly was made to carry him. Currently they were all looking for Scary Story. Joy pushed open the door to the library (the last place they looked) and gasped.
Everyone else looked inside and saw Scary Story levitating off the floor without using her wings. Her eyes glew white, and she spoke in a deep hissing voice in a language they didn't understand.
Slap!
"Ouch. What was that for Jenny?" Scary asked the one who had slapped her.
"You were scaring us, wait a minute." Jenny just stared at the mare as she hung from a rope tied to her wwaist. "How did you know my name?"
Scary Story blinked her bright orange eyes showing her eyelids to be painted with glowing mascara. "Yeah that is a little weird."
The not too distant future
Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna were in the throne room holding court. "Send in the next visitor." Celestia told her guard.
The guard announced the next petitioner. "Nurse Joy, and Scary Story." They walked in through the big double doors, and bowed to the Princesses.
"Rise, and tell us what you wish." Luna spoke to them.
"HiI'mScaryStoryandImyourbiggestfan!" the bat pony mare said very quickly and rather loudly.
"... Well it is nice to meet you." Luna was slightly put off by this mare who was literally at her hooves, and watching her with very big eyes and a wide smile. On Pinkie Pie this expression was normal, and even adorable, but put it on something with fangs, and suddenly it's creepy.
Joy grabbed Scary's tail in her mouth and pulled her back. Stepping in front of her Joy looked at the Princesses sheepishly. "Sorry about that. Ever since she found out we were coming here she has been going on, and on about meeting her idol, which is you Princess Luna."
"Oh, well we suppose that we can indulge her then." Luna smiled.
As her sister took on a barrage of questions that reminded her of Twilight from years ago Celestia spoke with the pokemon. "Forgive me, but what was your name?"
"I'm Nurse Joy your majesty." she bowed again.
"It's very nice to meet you Nurse Joy. Do you require something?"
"Thank you, and yes. You see I would like to open a Pokemon Center."
Celestia rubbed her chin with a hoof. "I am certain that I have heard that before, but I can't seem to recall what it is."
"Oh, well you see a Pokemon Center is a free service hospital for pokemon trainers to bring their pokemon to. Though now there aren't any trainers, so it would just be for pokemon." Joy smiled.
Celestia raised a brow and asked "Just the pokemon?"
"Oh,no! No, we would help anyone who needs us of coarse, but a Pokemon Center would mostly be for pokemon that had been in a battle, or anybody that has been attacked by a pokemon." Joy almost looked like she had been insulted by Celestia's question.
"Have you ever fought an ursa?" Scary asked.
"Yes?" Luna answered.
What about a dragon?" Scary asked.
"Yes." Luna answered.
"Did you invent Nightmare night?" Scary asked.
"No, that was Celestia who did that years after my banishment." Luna answered.
Scary had to think about her next question. Finally she asked "What was it like on the moon?"
Luna thought for a minute. "I was not actually awake, or even aware for the thousand years, but it was much like taking a very long nap with no dreams."
"Well, I can talk again. You're welcome." Blueblood said.
Ugh, as the narrator I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for him in advance.
Blueblood was about to complain to Celestia and Luna about another mind numbing thing, but stopped when he saw the firey maned mare. I'll skip over the details as nobody wants to hear what he has to say, but the important part is that he started flirting with Joy. Luna was annoyed, but that is her normal mode when Blueblood is involved. Celestia was annoyed/embarrassed. Scary Story was annoyed/angry, her ears were folded back, her eyelids half shut, and her nostrils flared.
Joy was flattered because, well let's face it get hit on by royalty doesn't happen every day. She eventually decided to correct him about one thing though. "That is very nice of you to say but I'm a pokemon, not a pony."
"You are a what?" Blueblood backed away from her like she had the plague. "Stay away from me you (censored for being tasteless disgusting and generally offensive) disgusting thing!"
The royal sisters both jaw dropped at him. Joy started to cry, wait what? She's crying. He made a Nurse Joy cry! I'm gonna- "Can I have a minute alone with the Prince please?" Scary asked. Looking at her Celestia and Luna saw that the thestral's left ear and eye were twitching rapidly. They shared a look, and decided that if he didn't learn his lesson now he might never. So they ordered the throne room empty, and left them alone.
A second after the doors closed everyone could hear two things. They could hear the terror filled high pitched wails of a mare, and the sound of what can only be described as demonic voices speaking in an ancient forgotten language. This continued on for a full minute. When it was quiet again the now terrified guards opened the doors.
A much happier Scary Story was standing next to a pale shaking Blueblood who was curled up in the fetal position. "He's forgiven now." Scary announced with a smile.
Screwball was having the time of her life. She had woken up in a tree like she usually did. Not for any chaotic reason, but for safety as she was still just a flesh and blood pony in the home of the timberwolves.
After having a decent breakfast of her favorite blue flowers she had gone on a stroll through the woods to gather. She did not gather anything specific, or for a specific reason. She simply picked up whatever random thing that struck her interest. A forked stick, a funny glowing rock with an elemental emblem on it, and a large leaf that she folded into a hat.
Then she found something that really ticked her off. Proof that someone was taking the chaos out of the Everfree Forest. The trees weren't all twisted like they were supposed to be, the animals weren't acting wild like they should be, and the clouds were just sitting there in the sky all lazy.
She followed the trail as far as she could until she found something else... Fresh chaos! Her father was here, and close by! She would find him, or die if boredom!
And find him she did. He was in a battle of chaos vs order. It was the single most exciting thing she had ever seen. She was so genuinely happy that she squeed. The. Time. Of. Her. Life!
Then the big snakey guy that he was fighting started charging up a blast of pure order. Discord's response was to charge up a blast of pure chaos. Screwball's swirling eyes allowed her to see chaos and order as more than just magic. She can see the two opposing forces for what they were on a higher level than normal ponies. What she saw changed her elation to alarm.
"Meep." she squeaked and ran away at her top speed. The two spheres of energy reached their maximum charge and the lords of chaos and order fired them simultaneously. The blasts collided in midair, merged into one combined sphere of orderic and chaotic energy, and exploded.
Screwball was caught in the shockwave, and thrown into the air. She sailed high over the treetops, screaming all the way...
Until she remembered that she could levitate. She stopped flailing her legs around in panic, and stuck them straight down in front of her causing her hooves to grind against the air slowing her to a stop.
"That was scary." she wiped her brow with a forehoof. "Going down."
Screwball let her hind quarters sink down beneath her as she lowered herself to the ground with her forelegs held out to her sides. Closing her eyes she began to slowly rotate as she descended. Even though she was generally considered by most ponies to be creepy and disturbing...in that moment with Screwball slowly coming down through the air to land elegantly in a small meadow that had no reason being in the Everfree...any stallion worth his mark would have given the young mare a long look.
When she touched down she stood on all hooves, and stayed still with her eyes closed. Her ears twitched slightly, and she sniffed carefully as she tried to feel out any changes in the natural mystic forces of the forest. Sensing nothing important she relaxed, and opened her eyes.
When she did there was a little yellow rodent looking at her. "Well hello there. Are you a pokemon?" Screwball smiled sweetly.
"Pikachu."
Screwball tilted her head, and made a thoughtful face. "You're pretty small. Do you want to stay with me so that you don't get eaten by all the big bad mean fire breathing blood thirsty carnivorous impossibly gigantic multiheaded acid spitting flying sometimes not even alive but actually undead monsters that live right here in the middle of the Everfree Forest?"
Each word she spoke made the Pikachu shrink down as much as possible until all that was left was a tiny yellow ball with drooped ears and watery eyes. "Pikachu." the electric type barely squeaked, and nodded.
"Alright then. I'll wait here while you get ready." Screwball, ignorant of the smaller creature's fearful shaking, just smiled.
Pikachu stayed still for a moment as he recovered from her words. Giving himself one final shake Pikachu then ran over to a hollow log next to a small patch of blue flowers. Pikachu crawled into the log to retrieve something. He came back out with a single oran berry balanced between his ears. Carefully he grabbed the berry in his paws, and jogged back to Screwball.
"Oh, snacks!" she said. "Good idea."
Pikachu held the berry protectively away from her. The oran berry then yelled indignantly. "Pikachu!"
Elsewhere
At the Frankenstallion castle Joy, Jenny, Scary, Rusty, and Monk, who had finally recovered from his brain break, all looked back at the remains of the castle. The old structure had been too close to the blast, and had started falling apart while they were still inside.
They had escaped the death trap only just before it had collapsed. They were the only ones to get out in time. Dr Frankenstallion, and his monster had fallen behind, and were now buried under several tons of stone. The others all just stared blankly at the massive pile of rubble.
"Should we do something?" Rusty finally asked. "Do we...dig them out?"
Jenny shook her head which included her entire body. "No they're already buried, lets leave them where they are."
The group turned away and silently walked off into the darkness of the forest. When there was no-one around several small birds landed on the wreckage.
For a few minutes all was peaceful and quiet. One of the stone blocks shifted slightly scaring a few birds for a moment before they settled back down. Another slight shift, and the birds barely reacted. A few seconds of stillness pass by.
Suddenly a portion of the debris exploded outward as the heavy stones yielded to the strength of the Frankenstallion Monster.
Back with Screwball
Screwball, with her new companions Pikachu and Berry, as she now called him, was walking through the forest as there was not much else to do. She knew exactly what had happened to the one that was now a berry, but she thought it was funny so she had not said anything about a cure.
As they walked Screwball continued to gather. She did not just pick up every random thing that grabbed her attention. Being able to sense the potential chaos in the items that she found, she mostly only took what could cause the most chaos. Other things were just neat, like her new wizard's staff. It was not actually magic, but the long stick had grown in a spiral from top to bottom.
The Pikachu, and Pikachu-turned-berry had no idea what she did with all the stuff she found, but it always vanished as soon as they looked away.
Not far away the Spinda siblings were watching them. They grinned at each other and started another spontaneous song.
"Her name is Screwball..." they stopped when they noticed that she was now standing right beside them, and staring at them with her unblinking swirled eyes. Yakko held up a finger and said "Uuuuhhhhhhh...". Wakko waved and said "Hello there.". Dot just pointed at her and said "You're creepy."
Screwball grew a wide smile as she spoke. "So...much...chaos."
The Spindas all blinked. "Give it to me!" Screwball yelled. "Bye." they waved and ran.
"I will have your chaos!" Yakko, Wakko, and Dot ran away as Screwball gave chase with a Pikachu on her back clutching her mane with one paw while the other carefully held a talking oran berry. If you were to look close enough you would see a few dots on the berry that were arranged to look like a face. The face was currently stuck in an expression of fright and alarm.
"What are we going to do about this?" Dot asked.
"Hm." Yakko thought. "Oh, Wakko do that thing."
Wakko scratched his noggin. "What thing?"
"You know." Yakko winked.
"Oh that thing." Wakko stopped running and pulled off his cap. From out of his cap he pulled a brown paper bag. He then placed the cap back on his head and reached a paw into the bag. From within the bag he brought out a rope that he passed to his brother and sister. "Hold this, I'll be right back." Wakko then walked up the side of the nearest tree and tied the rope to something. He then walked back down the side of the tree and waited with his siblings while Yakko held the rope and idly spun the end.
Screwball came charging up to them and screeched to a stop just before crashing into them. She growled at them. "Give me your chaos!"
The three Spindas looked at each other innocently and nodded. "Okay, we'll do whatever you say." Yakko said. "But whatever you do don't pull this rope." he then held the rope in front if her nose.
Screwball paused for a second before snatching the rope away and shouting "If I want to pull this rope then I'll pull it!."
The three siblings got on their knees and begged. "Please don't pull that rope."
Screwball pulled the rope anyway, and a five hundred pound anvil fell out of the tree and hit the ground next to her causing one of the tree's roots to pop up with enough force to send her flying for the second time that morning.
This was not turning out anywhere near as good as Screwball thought the morning would.
Yakko cleaned his ear out and said "Can you repeat that last part?"
This was not turning out anywhere near as good as Screwball thought the morning would.
"Uuuhhhh... I'm having a little trouble with the last two words."
Morning wood.
Yakko raised an eyebrow before blowing a kiss and saying "Goodnight everybrony."
For those of you still reading this foolishness, I just facepalmbed.
Elsewhere Joker was once again a Rattata. He looked up as he heard a whooshing sound. Through a small gap in the branches of the trees he saw Screwball as she sailed through the air.
"I can't believe she actually fell for that." he commented, even though he had not witnessed what happened. "Dumb girl like that'll never get a decent boyfriend."
The not too distant future
"Daddy, I'd like to introduce you to my coltfriend." Screwball told her father Discord. She pointed at the Rattata sitting on her head. "His name is Joker."
All across Equestria and beyond every living being stopped what they were doing, and shuddered.
Arceus the pokemon god had just made his announcement to the world that he had brought his pokemon here to Equus so that they would be free from the oppression of...
Actually that's kind of depressing. Lets move on with the story.
After hearing Arceus talk to what they could only assume (correctly) was the entire planet Joy, Jenny, Rusty, Monk, and Scary had gone looking for him. After all he had just told them that he was staying in the forest and that they were (along with anyone else) invited to stop by. They didn't get very far however, and were now stuck up a tree.
Down below them were two pokemon. The first was a kabutops who looked slightly annoyed. "I'm really sorry about this. He's not dangerous I swear." she said and looked down at the eevee that was held in her arms.
"Let me at em, let me at em!" the eevee said loudly. He gnashed his teeth, barked, and scrambled his little legs in the air as he tried to chase after them.
Everyone in the tree blinked. Well not Rusty because his eyes were closed. It was Monk who spoke first. "Yeah...we weren't running away from him. We were running away from that." he pointed behind her.
Kabutops turned and looked behind her. The thing was terrifyingly huge. Its body was easily the same size as a tyrantrum's. Its clawed feet almost as big around as a blastoise's shell. Worst of all, each of its four heads were as large as a faraligatr's.
The only explanation for why she had not seen it was that along with her trying to catch a hyper aggressive eevee, the creature was camouflaged by its green and gray coloration which combined with its size and multiple heads to make it look like a boulder next to some trees.
None of that was important at the moment though. All that mattered to her was the look it was giving everyone. She often hunted for her food, and occasionally was hunted by larger predators, so she knew that look.
It was hungry. And it had four mouths to feed.
Kabutops slowly moved towards the tree, followed every step by one of the snake like heads while two watched those in the tree and the fourth kept watch for threats. When she got close enough Kabutops raised the small Normal type up to the others. Monk reached down and took him from her...
The hydra struck, but Kabutops used a Protect to stop the attack. A second head came at her from the side, but she raised a scythe in defense and it pulled back to avoid the blade. She then attacked with her scythes, using several Slash attacks to drive the beast back.
The four heads of the hydra all focused on Kabutops. She crossed her arms, and readied another Protect. The hydra spread its heads out around her to get passed the edge of the shield. Two of them struck at her, but missed as she dodged out of the way. She retaliated with a slice at one of the necks, but it jerked away only receiving a small cut. One head bit at her from behind while another swept at her legs trying to knock her off balance.
Kabutops saw it coming, and decided to Aqua Jet out of the way. Water surrounded her body, and surged downwards with the strength of a geyser. She shot up at an impressive speed for something that couldn't fly, and extended her arms out for a double Slash attack. She swung twice at one head, but another slammed into her back and knocked her to the ground.
Not being a stranger to battle Kabutops recovered before her opponent (or would it be opponents) could take advantage. Rolling across the ground with three of the hydra's heads slamming the ground behind her, she came to a stop and fired a Scald into the face of the fourth head.
The hydra's four heads shrieked in pain from the boiling water, and then roared in anger. Rearing back the heads bared their fangs that were dripping with acidic venom. They lunged forward, but jerked to a stop. The momentum of the strike sent streams of venom flying at the pokemon.
Kabutops recognized what looked like a Gunk Shot, so having a resistance to poison she took the hit head on and charged up her Night Slash. The acid tingled on her her rock like shell, but did little harm and caused no poisoning.
The hydra blinked all eight eyes in surprise when its venom did nothing. One pair of eyes failed to open, and one head fell to the ground after Kabutop sliced her Night Slash through the base of its neck.
Landing on the ground behind the beast Kabutops quickly spun, and Slashed at a massive leg leaving a gash in her enemy's...lower calf. She blinked, and looked up. Kabutops suddenly realized exactly how much of a size difference there was between her and the now five headed hydra.
"...wait what?" Kabutops quickly counted the heads that were giving her a very annoyed look. Then she looked down at the one she had cut off, which didn't even have any blood coming from it and was starting to dissolve. She looked back up, and sweat dropped. "I don't suppose you need to go on a diet do you?"
The hydra roared and struck with all five heads at once. Kabutops dodged by leaping backwards, and unleashed a wide Scald that sprayed boiling water over all five of the hydra's heads. The monster swung its heads away, and used the momentum to bring its tail into the fight. Kabutops stopped her Scald and saw something coming at her from her right side, but she couldn't move in time to avoid the hit. Being the size of a crocodile's entire body the hydra's tail slammed into her with the force of an adult bull elephant.
Trees cracked apart as her stony body was launched through them. Kabutops hit the ground hard enough to bounce, leaving a crater followed by a shallow trench as her head dragged along the forest floor. She finally came to a stop, and flipped head over heels once more to flop onto her belly.
The hydra's five heads hissed angrily at Kabutops, and started crawling after her. It came to the crater and would have continued if it had not felt something on its tail. One of the heads turned to see what it was, and its hissing laughter got the attention of the others. They all looked to see the eevee as it tried to pull them back by its teeth. The hydra lifted its tail with the eevee hanging onto the tip. They all laughed again, and flicked their tail hard enough to send the small pokemon flying into the tree.
Scary caught the little puppy like pokemon after he bounced off the tree trunk. If he was hurt he didn't seem to know or care as he immediately tried to run right back into the battle, kicking his legs in midair as Scary held him in her hooves.
"Why don't you just go pick on something your own size you big ugly brute!" Joy yelled.
The hydra must have been offended by the ugly comment because it rounded on Joy, and hissed in her face. It then had a few teeth knocked out of one jaw when a furry white projectile collided with it. Monk held on after his attack and climbed onto the nose of the head. Getting as close to its face as he could Monk said "That was rude! Now apologize!", and pointed his paw thereby accidentally poking it in the eye.
"EEEEIIIIIIIAAAAAA!" The hydra hissed in pain, and the head who's eye had been poked flailed about, throwing Monk off as it did so. The other four heads tried to calm the other one, but pain and hunger were now replaced with anger and revenge.
The hydra spat five streams of acid at the tree, trying to hit everyone. Joy shot the acid with her fire causing it to evaporate. Rusty attacked with an Ice Beam in the hope that the hydra was weak to cold like Dragons, and while it did hit directly on the body it had no effect because of the monster's enraged state. Eevee was shooting Shadow Balls in rapid succession as he rode on the bat pony's back while she flew circles around the five heads, and all of his attacks hit their mark. Monk began swinging from tree to tree gathering more and more momentum for an attack.
When Monk saw an opening for a strike he flew from the trees like a fuzzy white rocket. "Close Combat!" he yelled as he aimed at one of the heads. He got flattened by a head but from another, and was then held in place by a giant clawed foot. The others soon followed.
With each of its soon to be victims held down by a claw the hydra reared back its five heads in preparation for a death strike. From the trees came an energy ball that collided with one of the heads. More attacks of the same type came from the direction that Kabutops had been sent flying in. Each attack hit perfectly on target as she came charging into battle.
"Feel my Ancient Power!" she screamed in rage. Her Ancient Power attacks fuelled her strength, her speed, her defense, and her special abilities. "Rrrrrraaaaaaahhhhhh!"
The hydra stumbled with each hit it took. The others all ran for safety. Kabutops stopped her barrage of the Rock type attacks, and leaped up, higher than she would be able to normally thanks to the power boost from Ancient Power. When she was high enough, and directly over her target she aimed and fired a Hyper Beam which struck the hydra in the center of its back slamming it into the ground. After the beam stopped she began to fall from very high up as the force of her attack had pushed her father up into the air. She had enough time to recover her energy to execute a Giga Impact.
The subsequent explosion of dirt from the,shockwave was almost visible from Ponyville. When the dust cleared both Kabutops, and the hydra were laying motionless. It was a few minutes before either of them could move. The first to move was the hydra. It raised its heads slowly, and looked to where the others were hiding behind a log.
It tried to climb to its feet, but fell back down as what little strength it had left seemed to leave it. As the hydra fell its great bulk revealed that Kabutops had bitten into one of the hydra's necks, and had began feeding on its life force with Mega Drain. The battle was over.
Elsewhere in the forest.
In one of the darker parts of the Everfree. Where the trees literally grabbed at you with hooked branches, and no normal creatures can live. One lone pokemon was standing stunned at the news that the father of all had moved them to another planet.
Ninetails was quiet as he thought about that. In her silence he could hear the silence of the forest around him. But a silent forest is a deadly forest. Even the Grass type dogs that had first challenged him were gone. Something was prowling.
A twig barely brushing against tough scales. "Who's there?!" Ninetails demanded as he spun around to face his stalker.
Ninetails was not a young pokemon. In fact he was well past his prime, but his experience was unmatched by nearly all he had met. He had seen most of what the world had to show, but now he found something that was simply astounding. A giant serpent, not of this new world, but of his old one.
The Arbok rose up and held his gaze as it answered his question. In a deep liquid smooth voice the snake said "Asmodeus."
A low whistling sound could be heard growing louder by the second as a shadow on the ground grew larger. Soon the yelling of a very frightened someone could be heard increasing in volume. When the whistling and yelling did not seem as if they could get any louder a pink pony crashed into the ground. A dust cloud of rather impressive size erupted from the impact and took several moments to clear away. When it did finally clear the dust cloud revealed an impact crater in the shape of a pony, tail included. From out of this crater came the pained moans of a young mare.
"Ow..." was Screwball's only comment.
A pikachu climbed out of the hole with a berry held carefully in its mouth.
"Pecha, are you sure it's safe to stay with her?" the berry asked.
"...yes?" the pikachu whose name was Pecha said.
"Was that an answer or a question?"
"...yes?"
"Well hey! Thanks for keeping me safe then." the berry said in a rather sarcastic voice.
"But Oran, if we don't stay with her we'll get eaten by monsters." Pecha reminded his brother. "I don't want to get eaten by monsters."
"Yeah getting eaten by monsters would be pretty bad especially if they don't completely kill you first but just swallow you whole and it would be even worse if you were eating dinner and you were just about to start desert but the monster came along and was like OM NOM NOM and ate you before you got to eat it and you were just like SHINY!" the pikachu that had been talking suddenly rushed off to dig up a gem that had been sticking out of the earth.
"Oh look, we found Cheri." Oran paused. "...yay?"
"Cheri!" Pecha ran to his other brother.
"Oh don't worry about me." Oran said. "I'll just sit here and enjoy being eaten by a rattata!"
Cheri and Pecha looked back at Oran who indeed had a rattata looking at him.
"That's not your Oran!" Cheri yelled and tackled the mouse pokemon away. "It's mine."
"Yeah I'm his Oran!" Oran said. "...wait a second."
Cheri picked up the Oran berry and held it to his mouth to eat it.
"That's not food." Screwball said after she climbed out of the hole. She put a hoof over Cheri's mouth. "That's a pikachu that got turned into a berry."
Cheri looked at the berry which was visibly trembling. "Please don't eat me."
"OhmygoshOranImsorry!" Cheri yelled and hugged his brother.
Screwball paid no more attention to them as she started to do something that she rarely ever did. She was making a plan. Soon enough she grinned a sinister grin that showed exactly how much like her father she truly was.
Scary Story shook her head as another round of aches assaulted it. The headaches had started after that hydra had stepped on her. Every now and then one would flare up and then disappear. Sometimes she could hear something like voices whispering in the back of her mind.
"Are you okay?" Joy asked.
"I'm fine." Scary told her and smiled. "You go on ahead and light the way, I'll stay back here and keep watch."
"Keep watch for what?" Joy asked.
"That hot tail of yours." Scary winked at Joy and the nurse blushed.
"Scary don't talk like that when other people area around!" Joy said.
"What do you mean? I'm just talking about your tail." Scary said and pointed at Joy's tail. "It's so hot and bright that I can keep track of you in the darkness of the Everfree."
"Oh, um, alrighty then." Joy could not tell if Scary was funny or not so she just trotted on ahead.
Scary let everyone else get ahead of her. When she was far enough behind the bat pony flicked her ears and listened.
There were definitely voices in her head. She scrunched up her face and concentrated on what she had learned from the Fourth Wall book.
Three demons were standing in the darkness of her mind talking to each other. They did not look like anything in particular and their forms kept shifting. Each of them had a defining trait to tell them apart. One has no eyes, another had no ears, and the last had no mouth.
The first demon who had no eyes spoke. "Where are we, I can't see a thing."
The demon with no mouth turned to the one with no ears and wiggled its fingers in a fluttering motion.
"You can't see anything because you're blind." said the earless demon. "We however can't see anything because there's nothing to see."
"What are you doing in my head?"
The two demons that could hear turned to face the speaker, and the deaf one had to be pointed in the right direction. Scary Story was standing not far from them and looking not too happy to see them.
"We are the demons three." they said together and completely out of sync so it just sounded like a bunch of rambling. They then proceeded to argue with each other about who had messed it up.
"Quiet!" Scary yelled at them. They stopped and looked at her. "Why are you in my head?"
"We aren't supposed to be in your head. We are supposed to be in your soul where we can corrupt you to evil. The book should have snatched it away from you and left you a blank slate, but that other book interrupted the process and now we're trying to possess you." the blind demon told her.
The mute demon finished signing what was said to the deaf one, who then slapped the blind one. "Silence you fool! You're telling her everything! Why don't you just tell her what we're afraid of?!"
"Oh I already know that." she said. "And if you don't behave then I'll make it happen."
"Oh really? What would that be?" asked the blind demon.
"Fluffy bunny clowns." Scary said.
The three demons all paled. "You wouldn't..." they said, though one was still mute.
"Fluffy! Bunny! Clowns!" Scary yelled. The sound of hopping and laughing could be heard coming closer.
"Please no! We will do anything!" they cowered before her.
"...alright then."
Back in the real world Scary snapped out of her trance. She looked around and saw that the others had moved on and left her behind. She jumped sideways into a shadow and popped up in front of them.
"Boo!" she shouted.
They all panicked and scrambled away from her. Joy accidentally set a tree on fire, Rusty drilled into the ground, Monk took up a karate stance, Jenny puffed up and started floating around, Kabutops turned her head away and waved her blades randomly, and the little eevee charged at her while saying "Bite Bite Bite Bite Bite Bite Bite Bite Bite Bite Bite Bite Bite Bite Bite Bite Bite Bite Bite Bite."
When Scary didn't run or attack he stopped. Scary patted him on the head and said "Good little Scrappy."
"So, what should we do now Yakko?" Dot asked her brother.
"Uuuuhhhhh, we could go say hi to Arceus." Yakko suggested.
"Well let's see what he's up to." Dot said.
Yakko reached under Wakko's hat and pulled out a script which he then read. "I think he may have enough to deal with already." he said before crumpling up the paper and passing it to Wakko who then ate it.
"We could go accidentally let the bad guys out of Tartarus and then catch them." Wakko suggested.
"No, then we would have to eventually deal with the stare." Yakko pointed out.
"Well, what are we gonna do?" Dot asked. "I'm getting bored."
A rustling could suddenly be heard from the trees. The three Spinda siblings paused in their plotting and waited to see if something fun would happen.
From out of the trees came Screwball, riding on the backs of a hoard of Pikachu that were all chanting , "Candy candy candy candy candy candy candy candy candy candy candy candy candy candy candy." as she pointed ahead with her right hoof and yelled , "The world shall be your candy my minions!"
The Spinda siblings for once did something very predictable and sensible. They ran in fear.
