Friendly note: This actually started off as a story heavily inspired by an episode of an old cartoon show, but ended up straying away from it somehow. I have no idea where it's headed at the moment.
THE HORROR OF SCREWBALL MOUNTAIN
It was that time again – the official yearly baseball player health checkup! Mihoshi's random makeshift coach person who also happened to be a part-time doctor went around from team to team to check their health. After doing so, he called a team meeting.
"Hey wait a minute, where's Kano?" Hatake demanded upon noticing that everyone on the team was present EXCEPT Kano.
"That's exactly what this meeting is all about," said the coach gravely. "Kano is at home resting at this moment."
"GASP!!" yelled Hatake, Miyagawa, Yoshi and Hiiragi. "YOU MEAN KANO IS SICK?! THE HORROR! THE HORROR!!" They started running around frantically while clutching their own heads.
"Now CALM DOWN!" demanded the coach. "Kano is FINE! It's just that his BLOOD PRESSURE has recently gotten a tiny bit higher than what's normal, so we have to start being extra careful around him."
"What can we DO?" wailed Hatake. "If I can't be my regular self around Kano, I'll just DIE!"
"Well, for starters, don't get him angry," the coach said. "Don't do anything to stress him out."
"But how are we supposed to keep Kano from getting angry?" Miyagawa asked. "He explodes on a regular basis!!"
"Do we even WANT to keep him from being angry?" Hatake questioned. "If Kano wants to be angry, who are we to stop him?"
"If you care about Kano's health, you'll do your best to prevent him from getting angry!" the coach declared. "So here's what I'm gonna do. I'll send you on a pleasant camping trip out in the wilderness far away from baseball, rival teams, and things that usually cause Kano to stress out! You're going to stay there for as long as I feel like making you stay, and make sure Kano gets all the peace and quiet he needs."
"WE LIVE TO SERVE KANO!!!" bellowed Hatake, Miyagawa, Yoshi and Hiiragi.
"That's the spirit!" the coach applauded them. "Now go pack your stuff and meet up at the bus stop in an hour."
"GOT IT!!" yelled the team as they darted off in different directions.

Meanwhile, Momoe gathered all her players around for a meeting as well!
"All right, everyone, the health check results are in!" she declared. "First of all, you may notice that Oki is missing."
"We noticed!" said Nishiura. All of them looked SO worried because they all care about each other so very much.
"Now, there's no need to worry, nothing major is wrong with him," Momoe informed them. "He just has a small nose infection and is currently being treated for it."
"Nose infection?" Izumi raised an eyebrow.
"Right!" said Momoe. "He should be done in a few hours, it's nothing to worry about!"
"Okay…" chimed everyone rather reluctantly.
"SECONDLY!" Momoe started. "This one goes out to YOU, Mihashi!"
"EEP!" said Mihashi.
"YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE IS TOO LOW!!" Momoe bellowed.
Abe immediately spoke up. "What does this mean? It won't affect his pitching, will it?"
"If we start fighting his low blood pressure immediately, it won't be a problem," said Momoe. "In his current state, Mihashi may feel dizzy and tired a lot." She pulled out a book that said 'Baby's First Health Care Book.' According to this book the Mihoshi makeshift coach gave me, the correct way to treat it would be to simply add more salt to his diet!"
"We'll go make a new diet plan for Mihashi at once," said Abe as he started making his way out of the room, but Momoe grabbed his collar.
"Hold it!" she said. "Mihashi ALSO needs a lot of rest, so I'm going to send the whole team out on a fun-filled camping trip out in the middle of nowhere, away from baseball-related stress!"
"NOOOOOOO!!" yelled everyone.
"I-I'll be fine!" Mihashi piped. "As long as I… pitch… my blood pressure will stay… fine!"
"You have NO idea what you're talking about!" Momoe laughed. "Now go and pack your bags before I sic Shiga on you."

What Mihoshi and Nishiura didn't know was that TOSEI of all teams had planted little spying devices in their clubhouses! After showing the little stalker videos off to the players, their coach, Wolverine, started pacing back and forth in front of them with a pointer in his hand.
"So as you can see, the team that beat us and their rival team are both going on a camping trip out in the wilderness," he said.
"SIR YES SIR!" bellowed the Tosei players.
"You know what that means, don't you?" Wolverine eyed them all.
"Um, that they won't be able to play baseball for a whole week?" Shingo tried.
"That there's some kind of blood pressure-related conspiracy going on?" Junta suggested.
"OOH, SPOOKY!" exclaimed all the Toseilings.
"SILENCE, FOOLS!!" Wolverine bellowed. "GAWRSH, you're all morons! It means that YOU'RE all going camping too, just to see what they're up to!"
"YAY CAMPING!" yelled the Toseilings as they ran off to pack their bags.
"YUTAKA!" Wolverine bellowed. "YUUUUTAKAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
"Wha-AT?" Ichihara said in a whiny tone as he rounded the corner.
"Your team is going on a camping trip," Wolverine informed him. "By going on this camping trip, you may discover some handy secrets about your rival teams which may or may not help you defeat them later. I'm giving you this opportunity because it's just embarrassing for me to have a son on a crappy team."
"Wow, I must cause you so much pain and suffering," Ichihara said sarcastically.
"SILENCE!!" Wolverine bellowed. "GO PACK YOUR BAGS AND ROUND UP YOUR TEAM AND GET GOING!"
"Whatever!" said Ichihara as he strolled off.

Musashino needs to be in this story too!! So like… Musashino was like… walking around and some junk… when they happened to notice something… like…
"Hoooold the phone," said Ookawa, holding out his arm for everyone to stop. "Look over there at that bus. Is that a baseball team boarding it?"
"Hey, it's that… that team!" Haruna exclaimed. "The stupid little first-year team Takaya joined!"
"NISHIura?!" said Akimaru. "Where are they going?"
"There's only one way to find out!" Ookawa declared. "HEY TAXI!!!"
"Ah, uhh, doohhh?" said the bucktoothed taxi driver who had just pulled up.
"Follow that bus!" Ookawa demanded as Musashino filed into the cab.
"Um uhhh OKAY!" said the taxi driver as he stepped on the gas pedal and sped off after the bus.

Mihoshi met up at the nearest bus stop.
"OH MY GOODNESS KANO ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?!" Hatake bellowed as he practically dove on top of Kano who stepped aside just in time, so he actually dove right into a post.
"Of COURSE I'm all right!" said Kano heroically. "It takes more than some high blood pressure to bring ME down!"
"Oh Kano you are so amazing!" Yoshi, Miyagawa and Hiiragi gushed.
"Excuse me, but are you guys… Mihoshi?" asked a bus driver as he came running up.
"What other team would ever wear fashionable uniforms like these?" said Hatake, pulling himself away from the post.
"Right!" said the bus driver. "Your doctor coach person sent me here to drive you off to your camping place in the middle of nowhere, are y'all ready to have some fun?!"
"OKAY," said Mihoshi as they all filed into the bus and it zoomed off. By the way, only Kano, Hatake, Miyagawa, Yoshi and Hiiragi were going because the others weren't Mihashi's old teammates and therefore unimportant.
