Professor E. Gadd laughed as he moved his hands around, with the regular blue Piplup standing up as he groaned.

"Oh... what the hell happened...?" He asked, turning around and gasping in shock as his eyes widened, seeing a green colored Piplup, an orange colored Piplup and a pink colored Piplup, all of them getting up and standing before the regular blue Piplup.

Prof. E. Gadd chuckled as he moved his hands around. "I simply split you into four different personalities! You're still the true version, of course, but now you have your green self, who is a bit slow, your orange self, who is greedy, and finally your pink self, who is... well..." He chuckled, rubbing the back of his head with his right hand. "See for yourself."

Pink Piplup giggled as he spun around, placing his flippers behind his back as he winked. "Don't hit on me, you silly penguins."

Orange Piplup chuckled sinisterly as he rubbed his flipper together, a devious smirk on his face. "Ehehehe... I want all the money... all de mad cash for me..."

Green Piplup tilted his head to the right as he placed his right flipper on his face. "I... don't understand what we're doing again."

Piplup sighed as he placed his blue flippers on his hips, shaking his head. "E. Gadd, this has to be the craziest invention you did. How do you think three copies of myself are going to work alongside me?"

"Well, you're the cowardly one. So on top of that, and the fact that you're the original..." E. Gadd commented as he placed his hands on Piplup's shoulders. "You'll be taking charge! That's not a problem, is it?"

"Not a problem!?" Piplup exclaimed as he placed his flippers on his head, getting paranoid. "Do you know how much of a disaster this is going to be!? The four of me running around together in a friggin' haunted mansion!?"

E. Gadd shrugged, shaking his head. "That's besides the point. Anyway, there's these five new haunted mansions that just popped up..."

"Let me guess." Piplup commented as he squinted his eyes, folding his flippers. "They're in the Evershade Valley."

"...Nope!" E. Gadd exclaimed as he snapped his fingers. "I'll tell you exactly where it is... in the next chapter!"

All four Piplups groaned as they shook their heads, with E. Gadd chuckling.

"I still don't understand any of this," Green Piplup admitted as he lowered his head.

"What's there to understand? We're not getting money out of this nonsense!" Orange Piplup grumbled as he folded his arms.

"Why need money... when you can get some love instead..." Pink Piplup murmured with a smirk as the other three Piplups slowly moved away from him.
