Rito lights two candles on the candle-stick holding the good, set on a nice, small round table. Then, Rita enters from the curtain.

"So, is everything ready for tonight?" she asked.

"Oh, yeah," Rito said. "I thought we'd start off with soup and a light salad, and then see how we feel after that."

"Not the dinner!" Rita snapped. "The, you know..."

"Oh, right." Rito replied. "The poison for Raimundo, the poison chosen especially to kill Raimundo... Rai's poison." he said.

"That poison?" Ed asked.

"Yes! That poison!" exclaimed Rita.

Rito takes out the poison. "Got ya covered."

"Excellent. A few drops in his drink, and then I'll propose a toast...and he will be dead before dessert."

"Which is a real shame, because it's gonna be delicious." Rito said. Rita glares at him.

Raimundo bursts from the door. "Boom, bam, baby! Let's get to the grub." he walks up to his seat and spins his chair. "I am one hungry king of the world." he sits down, legs crossed on table. "So, no hard feelings about being let go."

"Nneo whatsoever." Rita lied. "Rito, get the emperor a drink."

"Drink. Rrrrright." Rito winked Maleficent rolled her eyes. Behind Raimundo, is a stand. Rito pours the drinks in and then pours in the poison, causing a explosion. However, Rai doesn't notice as the pink smoke dies down. Rito hands the plate of drinks to Raimundo. "Your Highness."

Rai sniffs something. "Is something burning?"

"My spinach puffs!" Rito realized. he dashed out of the room.

Rai twangs his fork and soon clears his throat. "So... he seems...nice.

"Heh. He is." Maleficent said.

"So he's what? In his twenty ?"

Rita chuckled. "I'm not quite sure."

"Saved them!" Rito said carrying the hot plate of puffs with oven gloves.

"Great! Good job." Rai and Rita said.

Rito Revolto sets the spinach puffs on the table. "Watch it. They're still hot."

Ed with a spatula begins to place the spinach puffs on a smaller plate. Rita clears her throat, for the emperor to drink. "Ed. The emperor needs his...drink."

"Right." Rito said. Then realized. "Oh...rrrright."

He tries to pick the drink for rai, but since all the cups looked the same, he couldn't remember which one had the poison! Quickly, Rito grabs the plate of cups and goes to the stand behind Bender.

"Hey, Rito, everything okay back there?" Raimundo asked.

Rito takes the 3rd cup and dumps the flowers out from a vase. He then mixes the poison into the vase and shakes it. "Well...Oh, oh...The drinks were a bit on the..." he takes the vase and pours the poison into the cups, making it easier. "oh, uh, warm side." takes the plate and puts it on the table.

"Hey, did you see that sky today?" Rito asked. "Talk about blue."

"Yes, Rito." Rita said. "Riveting." she said as she took her drink. "A toast to the emperor! Long live Bender!"

Rai spins his cup during the toast and drinks. Rito turns to Rita. "Don't drink the wine-poison!" he coughed as swiped his hand across his
throat. Rita gets the message and immediately throws the poison nearby a vase. Rito drink his... or looks like so as the poison falls from his neck. Rai doesn't even notice.

Soon, Raimundo's done with his drink and smacks his lips. "Ah! Tasty!"

Just then, his head smacks down on the table.

"Finally!" Maleficent laughed. "Good work, Rito."

"Oh, they're so easy to make," Rito said. "I'll get you the recipe."

"Now to get rid of the body."

However, Rai wakes up. "Okay! What were we saying?"

Rita was shocked. How could rai be alive if the poison was supposed to make him dead? "Uh, uh, w-we were just making a toast..." Suddenly, Rai lips have changed into a beak. "To your long and healthy rule." she was surprised to see that happen.

"Right. So what we you gonna do?" Rai questioned. Rito observed closer at Bender. Rai eyes change to the eyes of a Blaziken. "I mean, you've been around here a long time and..." Rita reaches for the broccoli and smacks to together, signing the Eds to take him out. "I mean a really time. I mean, it might be difficult for someone your age..." his hands change into bird like claws. "Adjusting to live in the private sector." He turns to Rito. "Hey, Rito, can you top me off, pal? Be a friend?" Bender's head changes into a blazien. Rito look at him then turn to Rita. "Now, about you finding new work, that's-that's gonna be tough."

"Hit him on the head." Rita signaled with the broccoli.

"More broccoli?" Rito asked holding a plate of broccoli.

Rita growled in anger due to her brother's stupidity and rolled her eyes.

"Let's face it. You're no spring chicken," Rai said. Maleficent pounded her hand against her palm. Rito got the point. "And I mean that in the best possible way."

Rito grabs the plate of broccoli and slams Bender in the head with them.

"What? A pokemon? He's supposed to be dead!!!" Rita screamed angrily.

"Yeah, weird." Ed said.

"Let me see that vial." Rita ordered Rito and he gave her the bottle. The bottle showed a skull, but when Maleficent removed it the real label of the vial showed a Blaziken. "This isn't poison. This is extract of Blaziken!" Angrily, she threw the vial at Rito.

"You know, in my defense Sis, all your poisons look alike." Rito said. "You might think about relabeling some of them."

"Take him out of town and finish the job NOW!!!" Maleficent yelled in their faces.

"What about dinner?" Rito asked. Rita threatened him with her staff.

"Rito's, this is kind of important." Rita said stern.

"How about dessert?" Rito asked. Rita threw her staff back.

"Well, I suppose there's time for dessert." she said.

"And soda?"

"All right. A quick can of soda," Rita said gently. She then yelled, "THEN TAKE HIM OUT OF TOWN AND FINISH THE JOB!!!!"

---

Later, Rito is holding the sack with Raimundo inside. He sneak out of the palace with Ed singing Jazz Scat.

Ed: Cha cha cha cha cha cha...

"Guess where I am right now. Uh huh. In the bag." Bender said voiceover. "Still think I'm not the victim here? Watch. It gets better."

They go down a few more stairs, with Rito still humming the song. Then, he's go up against a wall with Rito holding his note. A couple of people pass by, looking at Rito weirdly as they quickly leave.

"Ugh, he's doing his own theme music? Lanky, dumb, and tone deaf. I was so glad I was unconscious for all of this." Rai's voice was heard. From a bridge,

Rito tosses the sack into the water.

"Mission accomplished." Rito said as he begin to leave. He look back down and see the water flowing down a long, LONG waterfall!

Rito looks very uneasy, feeling sorry for Rai.

"You're not gonna let him die like that, are ya?" a mini-rito poofed on his left shoulder wearing an angel costume.

Rito said. "Woah, my shoulder angel."

"Don't listen to that guy." Rito's devil poofed on the other shoulder. "He's trying to lead you down the path of righteousness. I'm gonna leadyou down the path that rocks."

"Oh, come off it." Angel.R said.

"You come off it!" Devil.R snapped.

"You."

"You."

"You."

"You infinity."

"Listen up, big guy," said Rito taking out a list. "I got three good reasons why you should walk away." he points at Angel.R. "He's got that sissy stringy music thing."

"We've been through this. It's a harp, and you know it." Double D said.

"Oh right. That's a harp and that's a dress." Eddy teased.

"Robe!" Angel.R corrected.

"Reason number two..." Devil R ignored. He does a handstand on the bridge. "Look what I can do."

"But what does that have to do with anything?" Rito asked.

"No, no. He's got a point." Angel R pointed at Devil R.

"Listen, you guys. You're sort of confusing me, so, uh, begone!" Ed exclaimed. "Uh...Or, uh, you know. However I get rid of you guys."

"That'll work." Devil-Rito said as the two disappear.

Rito thinks hard about his final decision as he has some time left. Hesitant, he runs to the end of the bridge and grabs the sack by holding the two ends of the made bridge by the end of his left. It zooms out to show the waterfall, then the creepy mountion, and far out to show a ladybug on a branch. A chimp appears and eats it.

"Um, what's with the chimp and the bug? Can we get back to me?" Rai narrated.

Zoom in, with Rito running around the city. "What to do, what to do? What do i do with the body?" Rito wondered.

Meanwhile, Edward was done shopping at the market and brought some items back to the cart. He turns to a Mamodo, with Spiky black hair, a light blue and red clothing, wearing a top hat with a phoenixs on it and has a gavel strapped to his waist. He's Milordo-Z 2.0 Danny and June's friend. he helped him carry the stuff with the cart. Danny sighed sadly.

"Alright what's wrong, with you?" Milordo asked. He could tell if one of his friends were having problems.

"What am I gonna tell the village?" Edward asked worried to himself.

However, Milordo heard that. "What about the village?"

Edward was startled. "Oh, uh! Nothing! Nothing!"

Milordo smirked, then shrugged. "Whatever you say. You can tell me later."

Cut back to the Rito.

"Come on, Come on" Rito said to himself. "What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?, Think, think, think!". The sack fall off Rito's hands and lands into a cart.

"Back! Elbow! Shoulder!" Rito said as he stopped falling. The cat went on Rito's head, frightened.

"Where's the bag?" Rita asked, he then noticed and spotted the bag, in Edward and Milordo's cart.

"Hey! Hey, you!" Rito called. But there were so much people at the market, he had to get through.

"Hey! Excuse me. Excuse me. Stop! Pardon me. Excuse me. Sorry about that." the three said to some people. "Comin' through," Rito said. Then cried, "Hey, you with the cart!"

Edward and Milordo were too far off and couldn't hear them. They were now gone, and this was bad. What was eds going to say to Rita now?

"Uh-oh. This is not good." Rito said. "Hope that doesn't come back to haunt me." he said to himself. Then, he shivers in fear, just thinking about it.

---

Edward with Milordo look back at the market, then at each other, and go home. They crossed a cold mountain, to a old long bridge, from the jungle, and late at night, make it to the house at the hilltop, where Edward's family lived.

"Mom! Mom! I think I'm still growing!" cried a young kid with yellow hair who's a young mamodo.

"Okay, okay Zatch," Katara, his mother said to him. She had Brown hair tied in a braid, wearing a water trib clothing and wearing a engagement necklace. "You just stand still and let's see."

"Mom, and I both know that it's impossible for him..." started a tan girl wearing red and white flowered dress, and sandels her name is Lilo. "for him to grown in the last five minutes, Isn't it?"

"Look how much you've grown." Katara said to Zatch.

Lilo gasped. "What? Zatch, get out of the way!" She pushed him back. "It's our turn again. Measure me!" Lilo said to June.

"Dad home!" Zatch pointed seeing their father, Edward. The kids squealed in delight as they came to Edward. Edward happily kneeled down and hugged them.

Katara smirked, seeing her husband. She steadied her stomach, since she was pregnent.

"Dad! Dad! I ate a bug today!" Darry said.

"Was mom baking again?" Edward asked. He whispered to the kids, "Don't tell her I said that."

"I heard that." Katara said as the children move out of the way. "Okay, everybody, move aside. Lady with a baby comin' through." she kissed her husband.

"DAD! DAD! DAD!" Zack said. "Look how big I am!"

"We were all measured today." Katara said to Edward.

"Oh." Edward understood.

"I'm going through a growth spurt," Zack said to Edward. "I'm as big as you were when you were me."

"Yep, sure are." Edward said looking at the measured chart.

"That's not as impressive as my loose tooth. See?" Lilo giggled her lose tooth.

"Okay, okay, you four," June said coming over. "Our deal was that you could stay awake until Daddy came home. Now say good night."

The kids groaned. They didn't feel tired and rest. They turned to Edward. "Dad, do we have to?"

Edward looks at the kids, who quiver their lips and have puppy eyes. Edward made his decision. "No, you guys can stay up." he got up and turned to Katara lovingly. "We're just gonna be sittin' here tellin' each other how much we love each other." he cooed at Katara. "Right honey?"

This made Lilo, and Zatch make disgusted faces.

"Ew!" Lilo yelped.

"Good night!" the kids said as they went into the house. The parents laughed, knewing that worked every time.

"So, what did the emperor want?" Katara asked.

"Yeah, what did he want?" Milordo asked coming up to them.

"You know what? He couldn't see me." Edward lied. He didn't want his wife and friend to be concerned.

"Couldn't see you? Why not?" wondered Katara.

"I don't know."

"Well that's stinks," Milordo said.

"Well, he is the emperor. I'm sure he's busy."

"No, no, no, no. No. Emperor or no emperor, it's called common courtesy." Katara said.

"Honey..." Edward interrupted.

But Katara ignored. "If that were me, I'd march right back there and demand to see him, and you know I would."

"Sweetie, sweetie, think of the baby." Edward said as the three entered the house.

Katara calmly sighed. "Edward, I'm fine. This baby's not coming for a while, but even if it was...I'd give that guy a piece of my mind! That kind of behavior just-just" she snarls. "...I gotta go wash something." As she leaves, Edward turns to a carving of a pokemon on the side of their door. He touches it and looks at Katara. Katara saw this. "Edward? You okay?"

"Hmm? Oh, yeah. I'm just a little tired from the trip," Edward replied. "Um, Milordo and I gotta put stuff away."

Outside, Milordo and Edward walk out. Depressed, Edward sits on a log as Milordo watches. The movie suddenly pauses.

"Heh heh heh. Hi. Excuse me. Two seconds here." the camera turns to Raimundo (in his now blaziken form). "Um, I'm the one in the cart, remember?" with a marker he circles the bag. "This story's about me, not him." he X's out Danny. "Or him." Same for Milordo. "You got that? All right. We're gonna move ahead. Sorry to slow you down."

Raimundo leaves, but then returns and crosses out Edward and Milordo some more. He turns back to us, and laughs nervously. We return to the fanfic.

Edward gets up and Milordo follows him. They notice the sack moving.

"Huh?" Edward asked puzzled. He didn't notice that. He opened the sack and saw a still dazed Raimundo, peeking from the bag. "Where'd you come from, little guy?"

"No touchy." Rai said. Edward realized that the pokemon talked and jumped.

"AAAAAH!" he screamed. "DEMON POKEMON!"

"Demon Pokemon? Where?" rai asked. He turned to see Edward and they screamed. He turned away and saw milordo and both screamed, with Raimundo running off until he hits the fence. "Ow! Ow, my head!"

"Okay, demon pokemon. Just take it easy." Edward said nervously. "We mean you no harm."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Rai asked. He realized something. "Oh, wait, I know you. You're that whiny peasent."

Danny gasped, but also realizes something. "Emperor Raimundo?"

"So you two know each other?" Milordo asked. He glared at Edward. "So you DID meet him?!"

"Not now Milordo." Edward said.

"Well, I'm the Emperor," Rai said. "Who do you think you guys were talkin' to?"

"Uh, was the emperor like this already?" Milordo whispered to Edward.

"No way! He was human!" Danny whispered back. He says to Raimundo, "Uh, how did...You don't look like the emperor."

"What do you mean I don't look like the emperor?" Rai asked.

"Do this." Milordo said wiggling his fingers.

Rai did as so. "What is this, come kind of little game you country folk like to..." he noticed his hand, and shrieked. He looked at his whole body, and then ran to a pond of water. Bender looked at his reflection and screamed. "It can't be! My face! My beautiful, beautiful face!" he cried.

"Okay, okay, okay." Danny tried to have him relax. "Whoa, whoa, whoa."

"I'm an ugly, stinky Pokemon!" Bender shouted.

"Wait, okay, your Majesty. Shhh."

"POKE FACE!"

"What happened?" Milordo asked.

Raimundo tried to get up with his own two feet. "I'm tryin' to figure that out, okay?" He fell to the ground, laughing hysterically. "I can't remember! I can't remember anything." he noticed. "Wait a minute! I know you." he pointed at Edward. "But I don't know you." he pointed at Milordo.

"But I just got here!" Milordo stated.

"Whatever," Raimundo said and looked back at Edward. "I remember telling you that I was building my pool where your house was (and that when he stopped to make a surprise expression but then changed to angry)… and then you got mad at me. And you turned me into a Pokemon!"

"What?" Edward asked in disbelief. "No, I didn't."

"Yes, and then you an your pal kidnapped me." Rai turrned to Milordo again.

"Why would we kidnap a pokemon?" Milordo questioned.

"I have no idea. You guys are the mastermind, not me." Bender said.

"What?" Edward repeated.

"You're right. That's giving you way too much credit." Raimundo then said to himself. "Okay. I have to get back to the palace. Rita's got that 'secret lab'." he used air quotes. "I'll just snap my fingers and order her to change me back." he used the fence as a guide to help him get up on his two feet.

"Hey, you. No time to waste. Let's go." Edward and Milordo don't move their spots, however. Angrily, Rai turns to them and says, "Hey, tiny, I want you get out of this body, wouldn't you two? Now let's go."

Edward paused, and made his choice. "Build your summerhouse somewher else."

Rai turned back shocked, still hanging on to the fence. "You wanna run that by me again?"

"I can't let you go back unless you change your mind..." Edward said.

"What?" Milordo asked confused. Like he said, he just got here and didn't know the bit with Edward and Raimundo.

Edward whispered to him, "Rai wants to destory the village and build a summerhouse, and I say no!"

"I'm still upset you lied," Milordo said and turns to Raimundo. "But he's right! Build your summerhouse somewhere else."

"Well, I got a little secret for you," Raimundo said to Edward. He leaned his ear closer. "Come here. Closer." When Edward's ear was close to Rai's mouth, he screamed, "I DON'T MAKE DEALS WITH PEASENTS!"

Edward tweeked his ear. "Then I guess we can't take you back."

"Fine. I don't need you or the Mamodo." Raimundo said stubbornly. "I can find my own way back."

M-Z 2.0 came in front of it. "First off, the name's Milordo-Z 2.0. And second, I wouldn't recommand it. It's a little dangerous if you don't know the way."

"Nice try, pal." Raimundp said as he headed off to the jungle.

"No, really." he called. "I'm telling you...there are Persions and Sevipers and quicksand."

Rai was making "la-la-la" noises so he couldn't hear M.Z 2.0. "I'm not listening."

"He's not kidding!" Edward warned. "Listen, you cannot go in there."

"Ow!" Rai groaned. "Still not listening." he said high pitched.

"Why you..." Milordo groaned in anger. "Fine. Fine. Go ahead. Let's go, Danny." The author and Edward leave. "If there's no Rai, there's no Raimundotopia." Edward said. "Takes care of that."

They look back into the jungle
