It was late afternoon New Year's Eve 2015, and in the world of Illuriya, a large crowd had gathered in the main city square, around a large performance stage, cheering on for the New Year's celebrations to begin.

In a big mansion behind the stage, in a room, the Pokémon professors were sound asleep, despite the celebration going on.

"It's time to host RunnerNash's 2016 New Year's Celebration! What are we gonna do?," Oak said to himself as he slept.

Just then, Rotom appeared and seeing the professors asleep, shocked them with a Discharge attack, causing them to scream in pain, wake up instantly, and see Rotom all in their faces.

The professors screamed out of startlement, Rotom screamed in return, and they all screamed together before they came back to their senses.

"Rotom, what was that for?! How'd you get out of your Pokéball," Oak shouted. Rotom then nodded towards a calendar on the wall of their room, which had December 31st circled in red and the note: 'Illuriya New Year's Celebration: We're Hosting!'

"THe CELEBRATION!"

The professors then quickly exit their dressing room as a certain hit song starts and they start to sing:

Professors: Doh

Doh doh doh, doh doh doh, doh doh

Doh doh doh, doh doh doh, doh doh

Doh doh doh, doh doh doh, doh doh

Doh doh doh, doh duh

As Oak and Ivy split the first verse, Tony, Daryl, and the rest of the Clark family appeared and began to dance with the professors with umbrellas in hand.

Oak: This hit, that ice cold

Michelle Pfeiffer, that white gold

This one, for them hood girls

Them good girls, straight masterpieces

Ivy: Stylin', while in

Livin' it up in the city

Got Chucks on with Saint Laurent

Gotta kiss myself I'm so pretty

The scene then changed to the professors and the rest of the ToonSchool gang dancing in a blue-colored hallway as Elm took the hook:

Elm: I'm too hot (Hot yeah)

Called a police and a fireman

I'm too hot (Hot yeah)

Make a dragon wanna retire, man

I'm too hot (Hot yeah)

Say my name, you know who I am

I'm too hot (Hot yeah)

Am I bad 'bout that money

Break it down

The professors then found themselves with the members of the Toonsters and the Sync Boyz and danced with them as Birch sang the bridge:

Birch: Girls hit your hallelujah (Whuoo)

Girls hit your hallelujah (Whuoo)

Girls hit your hallelujah (Whuoo)

Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you (Whuoo)

Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you

Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you

All: Saturday night and we in the spot

Don't believe me, just watch

Come on

Doh doh doh, doh doh doh, doh doh

Hah

Don't believe me, just watch

Doh doh doh, doh doh doh, doh doh

Hah

Don't believe me, just watch

Don't believe me, just watch

Don't believe me, just watch

Don't believe me, just watch

Hey, hey, hey, oh

Stop

Wait a minute

The music stopped, and the students switched out for the ToonSchool teachers who then took over for them in the dancing, as the music continued and Rowan and Juniper split the next verse:

Rowan: Fill my cup put some liquor in it

Take a sip, sign a check

Julio, get the stretch

Juniper: Ride to Harlem, Hollywood, Jackson, Mississippi

If we show up, we gon' show out

Smoother than a fresh jar o' Skippy

Sycamore took the hook as the professors and teachers moved into the opening hall of the mansion and continued dancing.

Sycamore: I'm too hot (Hot yeah)

Called a police and a fireman

I'm too hot (Hot yeah)

Make a dragon wanna retire, man

I'm too hot (Hot yeah)

Say my name, you know who I am

I'm too hot (Hot yeah)

Am I bad 'bout that money

Break it down

Oak took the bridge as the teachers dispersed and ToonSchool's newest band Fate's Girlz (Dionne Jackson, Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, Danielle Fenton, Jessica Wright, Brianna Buttowski, and Charley Jones) joined the professors in the opening hall of the mansion and continued dancing to the music.

Oak: Girls hit your hallelujah (Whuoo)

Girls hit your hallelujah (Whuoo)

Girls hit your hallelujah (Whuoo)

Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you (Whuoo)

Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you

Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you

All: Saturday night and we in the spot

Don't believe me, just watch

Come on

Doh doh doh, doh doh doh, doh doh

Hah

Don't believe me, just watch

Doh doh doh, doh doh doh, doh doh

Hah

Don't believe me, just watch

Don't believe me, just watch

Don't believe me, just watch

Don't believe me, just watch

Hey, hey, hey, oh

The music then stopped and the professors left the girls, and headed outside, and then down to a passageway underneath the stage in front of their mansion, and into small individual chambers, which then closed behind them.

As they listened to the cheers of the crowd outside, Oak asked the others, "You guys ready?"

"You know it!"

"Yep!"

"I was born ready!"

"Let's bounce!"

"I'm good to go!"

"Let's do it!"

"Good! It's time to usher in 2016 starting in 3…2…1…," Oak said, as the professors were then catapulted onto the stage to the chearing crowd and they finished the song.

All: Uptown funk you up (Woo, come on)

Uptown funk you up (Say, say what)

Uptown funk you up (Come on)

Uptown funk you up

Uptown funk you up (Aaooh)

Uptown funk you up (Say whaat)

Uptown funk you up

Uptown funk you up

Woah

The crowd erupted into craziness as the professors bowed.

"Happy 2016, Illuriya!," Oak called out as he pulled out a card and throws it in the air, causing him and the professors to disappear.

RunnerNash's 2016 Arcanum New Year's Celebration!

Later in some kind of ballroom in Illuriya, the cast of ToonSchool are there with the Pokemon professors, ready to start the Celebration.

"Welcome to the world of Arcanum, everybody," Oak declared.

"And welcome to our long-awaited Celebration to 2016," Tony added.

"Whoa wait a second," Bloo jumped in. "Since when are the professors the Celebration hosts?"

"Remember? It was announced back in the latest MV Mania show, Bloo-less Clueless?," Buttercup reminded him annoyed.

"I don't remember that…"

"Oh, I forgot. Bloo got himself memory-wiped along with the Snobs back then, remember?," Mac reminded everyone.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot that…," Tony said, remembering what happened, with everyone else remembering as well.

"Anyways, it's been a heck of a year in 2015," Daryl added. "Such as us finally completing our first season."

"Yeah, and you've got a new season coming soon!," said a familiar voice. Moments later, RunnerAwaker and NashWalker the authors of ToonSchool and Arcanum Heroes, entered the scene.

"Like my longtime, beloved partner said, ToonSchool is indeed getting a second season!," Nash announced.

"That's right! And I'd like to announce that Arcanum Heroes is also getting a spin-off, focusing on the Professors here," Runner added.

"Already? But isn't that still in it's first season?," Mickey asked.

"Yep. Blame it on Runner and her countless delays because of her bouts of writer's block and imagination OD," Nash pointed out, only to be smacked in the head by Runner herself. "OW! I was just telling it like it is!"

"Well, about this spin-off, what can you tell us?," Professor Rowan asked.

"Well, you'll learn more about it later in the Celebration. All I can say is that it involves you professors becoming a new KDA detective brigade."

"And we'd like to announce that all throughout the Celebration we'll be distributing clips of both ToonSchool: Season 2 and the new series, Beyond Arcanum. So readers will get something of a sneak peak of both new series!"

The professors and the cast of ToonSchool cheered upon hearing this news.

"Both of which will hopefully run without delays this time around," Nash put in. Runner smacked him over the head once more. "Ouch!"

"But there's more. They already released a sneak peek episode of our upcoming season called "Roaring X-Mas Past". So make sure you read it during the Celebration " Delia explained.

"Anyhow, the Celebration is just getting started, and we've got tons of fun for everyone!," Runner said. "Sneak peeks and musical performances galore!"

"So stay tuned for our first sneak peek, which is a fic of my own creation, coming up next on our Celebration live from Illuriya!," Nash added.

"Whose bright idea was to have the old geezers host this thing anyways?," Bloo asked obnoxiously.

Just then, Rotom appeared behind Bloo and angrily shocked him with a Discharge attack, much to everyone's surprise.

"Old MacDonald had a PokeFarm, E-I-E-I-O," Bloo said dazed, before fainting.

"Anyhow, stay tuned and Happy New Year!"
