A/N: Merry Christmass! Runner here and I am so happy to be back here on FF after for so long! I have to apologize for my lack of activity here due to my complete focus on Wattpad lately. While I can't promise I will have a schedule of release, I am looking forward to another ToonSchool fic before the end of the year. Also, my partner, NashWalker will be also doing his own AN right in upcoming chapters (since I am too busy to write one of these...). In any case, here's a new fic based and inspired by a nostalgic supernatural/comedy film, Ghostbusters! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, Ghostbusters, or any of the characters in this fic except Daryl Lente. They belong to their respective owners.
It was another day in ToonSchool and it was a special day. Today was the "ToonSchool Pokemon Weekend" and everyone outside the school was enjoying the festivities, such as a Pokemon petting zoo, Pokemon battle demonstrations, and workshops on Pokemon Contests and more. And right now, the ToonSchool gang was in the Creature House classroom having a special lecture from a special guest.
"And as such, you will likely find Pokemon in habitats and ecosystems that match their types," said the lecturer. He was Professor Willow, a Pokemon Professor who often focused researching Pokemon habitation, ecosystems and distribution. He was also known to be a former student of ToonSchool's Professor Oak. "For example, you'll find Water-types in places such as lakes, rivers, and oceans. Rock and Ground-types will be found commonly in canyons. And Ice-types will be found high up in mountain tundras, and other places with cold weather."
As Professor Willow continued, several female members of the gang started becoming gaga over his handsome features.
"Wow, he's so smart and soooo handsome," Chloe swooned over his looks and smarts.
"Yeah, I've never seen such a well-chiseled face before," Blossom added, beaming over his face.
"And he's really over-easy on the eyes too," Lilo agreed as she gazed into his deep turquiose eyes.
Tony, noticed this from looking behind his seat, raised his eyebrows and turned to his friends. "Yeesh, the last time they gone gaga over a Pokemon Professor was during a Mega Evolution lecture earlier."
"Yeah. I can still remember that we're the only ones who noticed how Bloo insulted Professor Sycamore's Garchomp during the lecture," Daryl mentioned. "Again."
Then they turned around to see the said imaginary friend, who was covered in burns as he crossed his arms and glared at his friends. "She just has to take everything I say personally, doesn't she?"
Tony and the others rolled their eyes at Bloo's sarcasm and looked at Professor Willow again.
"Still, I never knew Professor Willow was Professor Oak's student before!" Ash happily said to his friends.
"I even heard that he has three assistants who are also leaders to teams based on Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos," Chloe said. "Of course, when I said teams, I mean ones that they formed for research purposes for Professor Willow."
"At least they aren't evil like Team Rocket," Timmy bluntly replied.
Meanwhile, Professor Willow continued his lecture until finally reaching the end with, "And that's why I believe that there are even more Pokemon and Pokemon habitats out there in the world that have yet to even be discovered, and I hope to be one of the first to find them. And that concludes my lecture. Any questions?"
Tony raised his hand and Willow pointed at him, to which Tony asked, "What's the biggest discovery you've made yet?"
"Well, me and my associates recently discovered the potential presence of a new Pokemon called Meltan," Willow replied as he put a photo of it on the projector screen, amazing the students.
"Wow, you've seen it for yourself?," Ash asked in his amazement.
"Well, not directly. This photo is actually of a Ditto in the form of a Meltan. My assistants brought this to my attention just a few months ago."
"So you haven't seen a real one yet?," Lincoln inquired in slight confusion.
"Not yet, but we're still looking, and Professor Oak knows about it too."
"How long exactly have you known Professor Oak?," Chloe asked excitedly?
"Since I was a kid like all of you."
"Was he your inspiration to become a Professor?"
"One of them, yes."
"Have you discovered any legendaries?"
"Well, I-"
"What exact region are you from? What was your first Pokemon? Did you ever compete in the League? Are you single?"
"Chloe, enough!," the rest of the gang shouted, irritated by Chloe's barrage of questions.
"Sorry about that. She always gets crazy when it comes to learning anything," Timmy explained.
"I do not! I just have an immense hunger for knowledge!," she protested, before spontaneously whipping out an autograph book and asking, "By the way can I get your autograph, Professor?"
"CHLOE!," the gang exclaimed, exasperated.
Later, the gang is now in the Chill Room relaxing as Tony browsed through the DVDs from the shelf.
"Okay, since we still have a whole weekend to enjoy the festivities, how about we take a break from all of this Pokemon stuff and watch something exciting?" Tony said with a grin.
"Ooh, ooh! How about the 2016 remake of Spectre Blasters?" Bubbles shouted as she showed the said DVD featuring four women wearing hi-tech backpacks and guns.
"Yeah, it's less scary for Bubbles to watch and it's really empowering," Blossom added.
However, Bloo blew a raspberry at them and said, "No way! If you want a true Spectre Blasters experience, then how about the original?" He then showed a different DVD featuring four men with the same hi-tech equipment the previous DVD had. "No one watches a tainted version of the classic franchise!"
"Yeah, they took out most of the scary stuff that made the original great!," Tommy pointed out in his opinion.
"No to mention the casting," Bart added. "I mean, an all-girls main cast? Come on!"
"And what's wrong with having an all-girls main cast?," June asked, offended by Bart's sexist remark.
"Yeah, El Barto, enlighten us!," Buttercup, also offended, added, while grabbing Bart by the shirt collar.
"Well, I'm just saying if they wanted to have women on the Spectre Blasting team, they should've evened it out with two guys and two girls, but just to make the entire cast all women, come on."
"I know, it's no wonder the film flopped," Bloo added in agreement.
"Hey, the film didn't flop because of having all-girls!," Lilo snapped.
"Maki basupa! (That's right, you jerk)," Stitch agreed.
"From what I heard, director Saul Tegg strayed too far from the original film," Lincoln put in. "He tried to do too much of his own inspration, but didn't take enough from the originators."
"That's how remakes often fail," Tommy added in agreement. "And being the film aficionado here, I should know."
"Not to mention the mean things they said on social media about Lanie Jonas, one of the film's stars," Chloe said, reminding them of the bullying the actress endured online.
"Well, all that aside, I say we watch the original, yo," Jake interjected. "It's got everything: fear, comedy, action."
"And Scummer, my favorite character," Sora added, supporting Jake.
"Well, the remakes more modern, and I like modern," Mac protested.
"Original!", shouted those for the original Spectre Blasters.
"Remake!", shouted those for the remake film.
The gang soon found themselves in a full-blown shouting match, except for Tony, Daryl, Ash, Jimmy, and Danny, who could only look on in dismay.
But as the argument escalated, Danny jumps in the middle and shouts, "How about we watch both of them? Seriously, guys! It's just a movie!"
"Says the half-ghost son of the ghost hunters. You could even hunt them down no problem like the Spectre Blasters!" Bart said.
"Hey, I'll admit me and my parents have some similarities to Spectre Blasters, but we're more independent and more competent than they are!"
Just then, there was an explosion heard outside the Chill Room, briefly stopping the argument. Danny's father and the school's Paranormal Physics teacher Jack Fenton was then heard saying, "Sorry folks, must've set the calibration on the Fenton Bazooka too high!"
"Most of the time," Danny said as he frowned at his father's hi-jinks.
"The point is that you can't take all of this so seriously. We're just here to watch a good movie and relax! You can't expect to argue which is the better version of Spectre Blasters!" Tony explained.
"Well obviously, the original is the better version!," Bart snapped.
"No way, the remake is way better and empowering to girls!," Blossom shouted. The argument then started up again in full force, with both sides still shouting their opinions, except for Tony, Daryl, Ash, Jimmy, and Danny.
As the five students watched, Jimmy groaned in dismay and said, "Plukin Pluto... Why can't you just stop arguing and decide on the movie already?!"
"DID SOMEONE SAY MOVIE?!"
All of the sudden, they felt an explosion behind them, causing the argument to stop as they saw the man behind the smoke.
"Jorgen Von Strangle?!" Timmy shouted in shock.
"What the heck are you doing here?!" Tony added.
"I enjoy the festivites for on the school's Pokemon Weekend," Jorgen explained. "Especially the battle demonstration! I just saw an impressive one too! Go blow up that Diglet, Voltorb!"
The gang just looked on dumbfounded at Jorgen's emabarrassing attempt at emulating a battling trainer.
"That's not how you command a Voltorb..." Tommy muttered.
"It is for me!" Jorgen shouted before he cleared his throat. "Anyway, I overheard of your petty quarrel about this Spectre Blasters movie, so I'm here to help!"
"By helping us deciding on which movie to watch once and for all?" Daryl asked as he raised his eyebrow.
"No... by reading you a story!" Jorgen then slammed his wand to the ground, creating an explosion as it materialized a storybook. "And not just a story, a story based on your puny movie!"
"Huh?!," the gang reacted in confusion, except for Timmy and his disguised fairies who are horrified.
"We are seriously too old to listen to a bedtime story," Tony said in annoyance.
However, Timmy's fairies suddenly appeared right in front of the gang as humans as Wanda said, "You don't understand! Jorgen's stories aren't just some made-up tales he comes up with on the fly! Most of them are magical!" However, she stops when she saw the other students before she clears her throat. "I-I mean, his book is imbued in technology and magic artifacts. Yeah, that's it!"
"Yeah, not only are you forced to play a part in his story, the events of them will magically happen as he tells them!" Timmy explained in a panicked tone. A lot of them are even painful!"
"Well, if the story can come to life then, tell it with the story of the original movie," said Bloo.
"No way, do in the mix of the remake," Blossom protested.
"Original!"
"Remake!"
"Original!"
"Remake!"
The other members of the gang then got being their respective supporters and started protesting as well, even going as far as to playing tug-of-war with Jorgen's book while doing so. Tony, Daryl, Ash, Jimmy, and Danny tried to calm them down, as Jorgen looked exasperated.
Meanwhile, downstairs in the teachers' lounge, Willow and Oak were with fellow Professors Sycamore and Kukui as they discussed Ash and his stay in the Alola region.
"So Ash is staying with you, Kukui?" Sycamore asked. "And going to a school run by your cousin, Samuel?"
"Yes, and from what Kukui's told me he's doing very well for himself," Oak replied.
"Yes, he 's made a bunch of new friends out of the rest of the students there, and he's one of the most energetic students I've ever taught," Kukui confirmed.
"That sounds like Ash."
"I wish we could've met his friends," Sycamore said. "I would love to teach them about Mega Evolution."
"And I'd like to teach them about my research too," Willow added.
"Well, feel free to come to the Pokemon school anytime," Kukui replied to the both of them. At that moment, the noise from the argument upstairs caught the professors' attention, and they looked up at the ceiling.
"What's going on up there?," Oak asked puzzled.
Back in the Chill Room, the gang continued to argue over whether Jorgen's story for Spectre Blasters should follow the remake or the original and continued playing tug-of-war with Jorgen's book as Tony, Daryl, Jimmy, Ash, and Danny tried to stop them as Jorgen continued to watch exasperated.
Finally, with one last tug, the book flew out of both groups hands, into the air, and after a dramatic slow-mo moment, landed in Ash's arms. The gang continued arguing until Tony screamed, "ENOUGH!"
The gang stopped fighting and turned to see Tony, Daryl, Jimmy, Ash, and Danny looking very irate as Ash passed the book to Daryl. The five had had enough of their friends' behavior and it was time to set them straight.
"You know, all we wanted to do was just relax and watch a good movie with our friends, like what this room was made for!," Tony yelled at the rest of the gang.
"But instead, we've spent the whole time listening to you guys argue and fight over whether the original or remake film is better," Daryl irately pointed out.
"And now you're doing the same thing with this story Jorgen wants to tell us," Danny angrily added. "Does it really, really matter which version is better?"
"Besides, compared to those characters in those movies, they're nowhere near as great as Professors Oak, Willow, Sycamore, and Kukui!" But as Ash said this, the book began to glow on Daryl's arms. "They might have their differences in research and how they view things, but at least they know how to work together when it calls for it. Heck, they could even make a great team together!"
"Yeah, in fact, they could be a Ghost Pokemon catching team like the ones in the movies!", Jimmy added in anger as the book began to glow brighter.
Back in the teacher's lounge, Professor Kukui was about to take a donut from its box when he suddenly found himself frozen in place. "What the?!"
"What's going on?," Oak, having been frozen trying to get some coffee, asked.
Willow and Sycamore, having been frozen in place sitting down and reading a newspaper, were speechless as they noticed this strange occurence.
"Plus, they are already likable the way they are to the point there's no point in changing their personalities and roles at all, no matter the plot or setting will be!" Daryl shouted as the book glows brighter and brighter, which Jorgen began to notice as his eyes widen.
"Yeah, and they'll probably have all kinds of gadgets to fight and catch Ghost Pokemon and face off against an evil Ghost Pokemon," Danny added.
"Yeah, I wish all that was for real to show you guys how to compromise and work together!" Tony finished before he takes some deep breaths after that speech. However, when he looked at the others, he and the boys noticed that everyone began to stare at the storybook. As he looked at the now shaking book in Daryl's arms, he then said, "I said 'I wish', didn't I?"
"Yes, yes you did," Jorgan answered in a deadpanned manner.
Without any warning, the book suddenly popped open in front of the boys and began to suck everything into it, forcing everyone sans Jorgen to hang on to chairs and shelves. And before anyone in the teacher's lounge knew what was happening, the four professors transformed into balls of aura, which then floated away and phased into the Chill Room. As the gang and Jorgen watched, the aura balls entered the pages of the storybook, and they all heard the professors' screams before the book closed itself.
As the gang regained their composure, they became mystified about what had just occurred.
"What just happened here?," Lincoln asked uneasily.
"It was definitely something magic related," Sora added.
"Yep/Uh-huh," Jake and June agreed together.
"Um, was it just me or did those four balls we saw enter the book sound like Professor Oak, Professor Sycamore, Professor Kukui, and Professor Willow?," Ash inquired.
"Yep, yep, yep, and yep," Daryl confirmed Ash's suspicions.
"Tony, what did you do?!" Jimmy asked Tony in anger.
However, Jorgen steps in and said, "You mean, 'What did you five puny humans do?'! Because all of you were near my storybook, it heard your crazy ideas and sucked those four humans into the storybook's world!"
The entire gang gasped in shock and horror.
"So the professors are all trapped in the book?" Bubbles asked, devastated.
"That's what I just said!"
"Don't worry, professors! I'll get you out," Ash shouted as he opened the book and shook it up and down to try to get the professors out. Alas, it was in vain.
"Ash, knock it off, you're probably making it worse," Mac pointed out.
"Great, now Professor Oak and his friends have stuck in an unpredictable magical storybook world thanks to you guys' creativity and thoughtless wishing!," Timmy sarcastically quipped.
"Yeah, this is all your fault," Bloo snarked at the five boys.
"Way to go, dudes!," Bart sarcastically agreed with the imaginary friend.
"Our fault?!" Tony snapped, annoyed at being blamed. "If you guys hadn't argued so much over such a petty matter like this, we wouldn't have ended up wishing them into the book in the first place!"
"Yeah, this is the "Around the World" incident all over again!" Daryl added.
"Yeah, we end up arguing over some petty matter, and when we try to resolve it something bad happens," Danny elaborated. As the group continued to bicker, Stitch noticed a DVD slide out of the book from between the pages.
"Keepi ka? Miki weepa gi! (A DVD? Cool, let's see what's on it!)", he said as he inserted it into the Blu-Ray/DVD player, without the others knowledge.
"And now it's happening all over again with this!," Tony exclaimed.
"Yeah, no thanks to you!," Buttercup snapped. Lilo then noticed Stitch near one of the TVs which was starting to play something.
"Stitch, what are you doing?," she asked, catching the others' attention.
They stopped and saw the TV, which was now playing footage of a dark sky.
"What the heck?" Timmy called out.
"Stitch, what movie did you put in?" Lilo reluctantly asked her alien friend.
"Nane com mugu alppi!" Stitch answered.
"You're saying a DVD came out of the book?" Tony guessed. Stitch nodded as "yes".
"I'm guessing magic?," Blossom guessed.
"Hey, maybe it can tell us what happened to the professors," Chloe suggested, at which everyone glanced at each other somewhat knowingly.
Before anyone can say anything else, they turned to watch the events unfold on TV.
In a dark night of an unknown city, a large library stood in the middle as inside; a lone librarian was sitting on her counter as she silently went through the library's records. But as she went about her work, she heard a door opening within her earshot. As she turned, she saw a hooded man pass by, at which she raised her eyebrows in suspicion. Despite this, she could see his library card on his hand as he lets him in.
But as he sat down far away from the librarian, he pulled something out of his bag and placed the object, a strange decorative box, on the table. Without the librarian's knowledge, he then took out his smartphone and typed in his IM app.
Cieco: I'm in position.
Nero: Perfect. Start the operation.
With that, he slowly opened the box, revealing the green light inside it. As the light began to glow brighter, the hooded man's eyes began to glow green.
Meanwhile, the librarian continued to sort through the records until she heard a mysterious noise behind the bookshelves. "Who is that?" She called out as she stood up and left the counter. "If you're planning to vandalize anything, especially the books, then don't even think about coming back here!"
With a flashlight in hand, she then slowly crept over to where she heard the noise and looked around for whoever made it. Reaching near the area where the noise came from, she hid behind a bookshelf for a few seconds and then jumped out, shining her light at the area… only to find it empty.
Confused and slightly relieved, the librarian regained her composure, sighed with relief, and turned around to return to her post… only to suddenly come face-to-face with an unseen individual who made her jump back in fright…
ToonSchool: Pokebusters
Welcome to Skylar City
"Good morning, Skylar City! I hope you have a good day today because we got some hottest beats and news that will help you get up and go!"
The radios of every citizen blasted this as the people went about their own pace around the streets and building of Skylar City. While most of them were walking alone or a friend, some were accompanied by their Pokemon, while others helped out their owners and trainers with their various jobs, such as at construction sites and restaurants.
One of these people was a man in his 50's, wearing a red polo shirt, brown pants, and brown pants, and walking down the less crowded street. Carrying a brown briefcase, he looked at his watch and then around the busy streets, which he sees several people chatting and running to their work.
He then crossed the street to his place of employment, the University Of Skylar City, where he was a lecturer and researcher of Pokemon-human interaction studies.
He entered the university campus and made his way to his office. After gathering some papers and setting his briefcase down on his desk, he then made his way to a lecture hall where his class was waiting for him.
As he started his class, the lecture hall from the 2nd floor had already started as a man in his 30's with black messy hair, white lab coat with the sleeves folded, blue shirt, black pants, and brown shoes pointed at the blackboard and said to his students, "Mega Evolution has proven to have unlocked power and potential in Pokemon that most have never even seen before."
However, as he continued to speak, he was met with the girls' stares as they mindlessly smiled at the young-looking teacher. It wasn't until he finished his lecture, that he then asked, "With that, do you have any questions?"
A young blonde-haired woman raised her hand and asked, "Yeah, can I get your number?"
"Clover!" The red-haired girl and the black-haired girl shouted at their friend.
"What? I need a tutor and my Mom did say I should ask one." However, the girls just slapped their own foreheads and groan in dismay.
"Or maybe you're just boy-crazy over our teacher!," The red-haired girl suggested.
"What Sam said," the black-haired girl agreed.
"Sam, Alex, I am not crazy over him! He's our teacher for heaven's sake!," Clover scoffed and snapped at her friends.
"Relax, I'm always willing to help a student if they need it," the professor replied.
"Hey, can I have your number too? I could use some tutoring too!," said another girl.
"Yeah, I could use the help too!
"And me! This Mega evolution stuff sounds tricky!"
And with that, more and more girls started asking until every girl in the lecture hall was asking for the professor's number. All that is, save for one brunette-haired girl wearing a pink shirt.
"Come on Diana, aren't you gonna ask him too," said the girl sitting next to her. Diana glanced over almost as if to look towards the audience, and said, "Way too predictable, isn't it?"
Meanwhile, in a gymnasium, a man in his early 30's with tanned skin a lab coat and a beachwear-like outfit, and with an Inciniroar at his side was giving a lecture to his class.
"Because of this, Z-Moves have the potential to unlock hidden power in a Pokemon's attacks, thereby-," he lectured, until he noticed several students discussing something on their phones instead of paying attention to the lesson.
"Excuse me," he called out to the students, catching their attention. "Is that something you'd like to share with the rest of us?"
"Oh video of an old tag team Pokemon wrestling match in Alola," one student said.
"Yeah, this Masked Royal guy is a big deal!," another student agreed.
Upon hearing the name "Masked Royal", the professor jumped back in surprise, dropping his pointer in the process, puzzling the entire. He struggled to compose himself as he stammered, "That guy! He's not all that great! Besides I'm still lecturing here, so phones away now!"
The students complied and the professor returned to lecturing the class.
Meanwhile, outside on the campus grounds, a man in his early 30s, wearing a lab coat, and hiking clothing, was outside with a group of students. There they were observing Bug and Grass type Pokemon such as Bulbasaur, Oddish, Caterpie, Weedle, and Spinerak in a nearby tree. As the students observed the Pokemon and took notes, the professor lectured them.
"And as you can see Grass and Bug-types tend to thrive in places where there are there is plenty of vegetation and sunlight and thereby giving them-," he said, but just, then two teenage boys, one with a triangle-shaped head and red hair, and a one with a rectangle-shaped head and green hair, came along pushing a generator that was on a large dolly and had a ray-like barrel and mirror attached to it, catching his attention as well as everyone else's.
"Um, Phineas and Ferb, what are you doing?," the professor asked puzzle.
"Oh, don't mind us. We're just testing if we could able to replicate Solarbeam with this solar-powered mirror," Phineas said as he showed off his invention.
Ferb then pushed a button on the invention, and the mirror began to charge up as if it was a Pokemon charging a Solarbeam attack. The professor and the students looked on with awe at this. However, the mirror built up so much solar energy that it cracked, causing the ray to fire on a building window, in which a loud scream was heard.
"Huh, guess it still has a few bugs," Phineas said as he scratched his chin and looks at the cracked mirror. "Well, Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today."
However, they suddenly heard angry quacking and turned around and to see an anthropomorphic duck quacking in anger as the feathers on his head had been burned off.
"If those boys are responsible for this, I am going to... WAAAAAAKKKKKK!" The duck continued to scream in anger as the boys' eyes widen in fear.
"And I know what we're avoiding today," Ferb said before he dragged his brother away.
"See you later, Professor!" Phineas said as they ran off from the Pokemon Professor and his class, leaving them dumbfounded at the turn of events.
"Just another day with the Flynn-Fletcher boys," he then quipped with slight amusement as he then turned back to his students. "Anyhow, back to the lesson everyone."
Meanwhile, back at the first lecture hall, the same man from before took out a red and white ball capsule, as a young man wearing a red headband and green shirt who had joined him, took out a sketch pad and pencil.
"Now class, today I'd like to go into interactions between humans and Ghost Pokemon," the professor said, as he tossed the Pokeball into the air, releasing a Misdreavus, at which the young man began to sketch it.
"Now Ghost Pokemon are actually rare commodities. One would be very lucky to encounter, let alone catch one. As such, Ghost Pokemon tends to be rather lonesome at times, and when humans come around they can be shown to be very curious and playful, as well as a little shy around them, as humans and their way of life have easily fascinated them."
The Misdreavus then floated around the young man, looking at the sketch of it, at which it was impressed. It then floated around the class amazing the other students, some of whom then reached out and tried to touch it, much to its happiness.
"So as you can see, humans and Ghost Pokemon have generally friendly interactions. Though you should be careful around them."
"Why is that, professor?," asked a student.
"Well, sometimes Ghost Pokemon can get a little too playful and often like to prank humans for fun, to the point of putting people in harm's way. While they usually mean no real harm, they can often not realize that they're hurting someone until it's too late. One method they use by this is their ability to possess people. When they do, the possessed might not know what's going on until the Pokemon leaves their body. And they thrife on fear. The more scared someone is, the more power the Pokemon will have to prank it."
"What about evil Ghost Pokemon?"
"Well, there have been several instances where Ghost-types have displayed violent behaviors towards humans, but only if they feel they or their territory has been unjustly disturbed. Other than that, none of them are known to be truly evil."
Just then the professor looked at the hall's clock and said, "And that will conclude the lecture for the day class."
"Hold it!"
Without any warning, the video stopped as a pause symbol appears on screen just as Danny jumped in front of the TV and said, "Please tell me that this is a joke video."
"You tell me! Who knew Ghost Pokemon could actually hurt people and mean it?" Chloe said.
"He's not talking about the lecture! He means that the Pokemon Professors are suddenly in this strange movie Stitch found!" Tony explained. "I don't even remember them teaching in a university before!"
"Maybe they're just posers with fake degrees in teaching like Crocker" Cosmo commented, at which Wanda raised her wand and magically slapped tape over her husband's mouth.
Jorgen scratched his chin as he thought, "Hmm, it's possible the DVD is actually playing the story you all created and wished out of the storybook!"
"Wait, wait! Back up for a second! You're telling us that movie is actually the story from your book?" Tony asked.
"Yes. And I'm afraid the only way to free them is to finish watching the movie…which is strange since the book's never done anything like this before."
"So we have to keep watching to the end?," Daryl asked before shrugging. "I guess can get with that. How about the rest of you guys?"
"I dunno, we don't really know what will happen," Jake said uncertainly.
"Well, anything that has to do with ghosts and horror, I'm up for it!," Lincoln added.
"As long as there are action and butt-kicking, count me in," Buttercup put in.
"Me too, as long as it's not too scary," Bubbles added. The rest of the gang then spoke up, not sure over whether to watch the film to the end or try some other method to break the spell.
"Well on the bright side, the book allows the one holding it to change the story to whatever and whenever they want!" Jorgen declared as he took the book from Daryl. "I wish that the professors were all manly and muscular like yours truly and conquering a world of pain and-"
But all of the sudden, the book suddenly hit Jorgen with a bolt of lightning, leaving him covered in burns and soot. "Hey! What gives, you stupid book?!"
The book then floated away from Jorgen's hands and opened to a page right in front of the gang, which Tony read, "What's this? "Under no circumstances, you are not allowed to change the main characters' roles and personalities no matter what." Why does this sound familiar?"
"Because that's what I said when I was holding the book that time," Daryl said as he flipped some more pages. "And look at this! "The setting and the events are already determined. But you are allowed some small changes as long as they don't impact the development of the story.""
"Setting? Not allowed to change? Are you saying that the book made its own rules for the movie?" Timmy asked.
"Actually, it sounds like it enabled the rules we made before we wished the story to life," Jimmy theorized in realization. "Like them being a Ghost Pokemon fighting team."
"And retaining their original personalities and roles," added Daryl.
"And knowing how to work together," Ash put in.
"And having gadgets galore to help them fight," Danny finished.
"What?! That's it, when the story is done, I'm sending you to a paper shredder... of PAIN!" Jorgen shouted in anger to the book, which is then released another bolt of lightning to the fairy.
"So basically we have to put up whatever cockamamie horse pucky movie you guys wished up, instead of watching the classic Spectre Blasters!", Bloo snapped at the boys, annoyed.
"Or the remake version?" Timmy added equally annoyed.
"Thanks a lot, you, guys!," Bart pouted.
"Yeah, way to go," Buttercup pouted as well.
"Whoa, whoa! Don't you dare try to pin this on us!," Tony spat at the rest of the gang in annoyance.
"Yeah, if you guys hadn't been fighting so much over the Spectre Blasters movies, we wouldn't have yelled you and made this wish in the first place!," Ash agreed, irritated.
The gang then found themselves in a full-fledged argument over who's fault it was, until the book suddenly clapped itself shut, so hard it caused a huge shock wave that knocked everyone to the ground. It then floated over the DVD player and pressed PLAY as the gang watched, before hovering in the air next to the TV.
"Well, whether we like it or not, we found a perfect movie to watch," Tony said in dismay.
"I just hope Professor Oak and the others are okay in there," Ash said in worry as they continued watching the mysterious movie.
A/N: Whelp, looks like they choose a movie to watch. Too bad the Pokemon Professors are trapped in it. How will this magical movie play out? Find out in the next chapter! Until then, review and favorite and I'll see you later!
