Bun woke up on a sunny day and looked over at her friend Pickle. He was still asleep, so she just slapped him, but it didn't wake him up. "Pickle," Bun said to her lazy friend, "There are pancakes in the bathroom! And THESE ARE NOT THE DROIDS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR!"

"AHHHHHHH!" Pickle woke up screaming. He was scared of pancakes and droids…Bun sort of felt bad for him. "Why?" Pickle asked. "Why?!"

"I dunno. I just felt like saying that."

"Oh yeah!" Pickle said to Bun, "I forgot to tell you: you're mom wants you to talk to this creepy science guy next door."

Bun nodded and answered, "OK. Let's hope that Ethan doesn't bother us."

So they went to the kitchen to eat some eggs, but Marill (Ethan's stupid Pokémon) had already eaten the eggs—RAW. And since he had eaten them raw, Pickle and Bun started singing, "Ra, ra, ra-a-ah, roma roma-ma! WANT YOUR BAD ROMANCE!"

So the two left without breakfast and went outside. Unfortunately, Marill had told Ethan their plans and told him to sneak up on them, so Ethan body slammed Pickle and started eating string-cheese. Since he didn't have pockets or a backpack, Bun wondered where it came from. "HI FRIENDS!" Ethan screamed in Bun's ear.

"Hi Ethan…" Bun and Pickle mumbled. They tried to walk away, but Marill blocked their path. That Pokémon was a demon. In fact, Bun even whispered to Pickle, "That thing is a demon!" And so Pickle started singing, "It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide!"

"So," Ethan said, eyeing Pickle. "Can I lick your face?" He edged closer to the other boy, but Pickle backed away, saying, "Dude, that's just wrong."

"RUN PICKLE!" Bun shouted, and the friends ran into the safety of Doctor Elm's lab.

Dr. Elm saw them immediately and said to Bun, "Hello. Do you want a pet fish?"

"Uh, no." Bun said, backing away from the strange man.

"Okay! Here: since you won't take my fish, I'll give you a POKÉMON!" Pickle started singing the Pokémon theme song: Gotta Catch 'Em All!

"Uh, OK. I choose you! Cyndaquil!" Bun shouted and took the Pokèball.

Pickle shook his head and muttered, "Stop trying to be like my cousin."

"Ash is your cousin?" Pickle nodded. "Oh. Let's go beat Team Rocket!"

"We will, we will ROCK YOU!" Pickle sang happily.

Dr. Elm dashed in front of the door. "NO! YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE!"

"Uh, yeah we can." Bun said, climbing out of the open window beside the door. Elm nodded in agreement. "OK. Just take this egg to Mr. Pokémon." He tossed us the egg and then ran back to the lab table and started eating powdered donuts.

"TO CHERRYGROVE!" Pickle and Bun shouted and started to trek out of the city.
