Chapter 3: Confrontation, with a Pig

Ness and Paula came zooming out of the vortex. They were right in front of the Winters snowboarding school. They walked inside to escape the freezing cold. They found Jeff sitting on the couch working on a new contraption. They walked up to Jeff and greeted him.

"Hey Jeff," Paula said.

"Long time no see," Ness added.

Jeff looked up with his glasses shimmering.

"Oh hey Ness and Paula, it's been a little bit since we last saw each other." Jeff said.

"Hows everything with your father?" Paula asked.

"Better than before our adventure of stopping Giygas," Jeff said happily.

"That's great! I'm glad that things are working out between you and your father," Paula said cheerfully.

"We were on our way to gather Poo, wanna come join us?" Ness asked.

"Sure! I'll come. Lemme go tell Tony that i'm gonna be out with my friends for a bit." Jeff said excitedly.

Jeff ran off to his dorm for 5 minutes and came back.

"Alright! Lets get going," Jeff said.

They walked out of the snowboarding house and walked into an open field of snow. As they were about to teleport away to Dalaam, they heard a rustle in the pine trees.

"Who's there? Show yourself," Ness said in a tough tone.

Out came a a huge spider mech with a guy with sea green skin and resembled a pig. It was Pokey Minch.

"Well well well, what a suprise! It's uh... what was it, Pigs Butt... no no no, um... oh yeah! Ness! It's been a long time since we last met. Remember what I said about you and me seeing each other again, well the time is now!"

"We'll see about that Pokey, or should I call you "Porky"," Ness remarked.

Pokey, seemed to take offense in the nickname "Porky" retaliated with one last sentence before hitting a teleport button.

"Well, watch what you say! Next time won't be so forgiving."

And off he went.

Ness and the others were blinded by a smoke, released by Pokey's spider mech. When the smoke cleared, Pokey was gone. Ness performed PK Teleport α. Ness, Paula, Jeff ran through the vortex, on their way to Dalaam.
