Here we go, everyone! Chapter 4 of the experiment!


In another part of the valley, Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour were relaxing on a branch of a tree near the playground, enjoying their time in the valley.

Pansage sighed in relaxation, "What a beautiful day."

"You said it, brother. Nothing beats a day of relaxing in Ice Age Valley, gazing at the white snow." Pansear agreed.

"And also having a very tasty snack of frozen tiny bananas on a stick!" Panpour happily ate the said snack in his hand. "Yum!"

Just then, Pansage heard someone scream from the sky. "What's that?" He asked his brothers. They looked up to see a young Mouthdigger launching into the air.

"Now what do you think Young Ronald is doing now?" Panpour asked in confusion.

Pansear shrugged, just as clueless, "Maybe he's trying to be a stunt animal?"

"I'm not so sure, Pansear. Take a look at what's happening in the playground." Pansage pointed to the playground. The Elemental Monkey Brothers looked over at the playground, and they were surprised to see Sid and the three babies there. The babies were playing, or otherwise, trying to eat the other kids that were there and Sid was trying to stop them.

"Hey, what's Sid doing in the playground? I thought Manny said it was closed until the baby gets here?" Panpour said in confusion.

"I'm more curious about those three little guys with him. They look like they're playing a little too rough." Pansear said, curious about Egbert, Shelly, and Yoko.

"Either way, this could be a problem. Come on, we should warn the others." Pansage said seriously. The Elemental Monkey Brothers then left to get the other Pride Team members while those who live in the valley began to leave the playground, screaming in panic.


Near where the Elemental Monkey Brothers were, Max, Kate, CatDog, Manny, and Ellie were heading in the direction hoping to find Sid and later on Diego. Kate couldn't help but worry about Diego, even though Cat told her that the tiger just might be going through a phase. Max, on the other hand, was pretty worried that they may never see Diego again after he left yesterday.

Max looked up at Kate who was flying above them. "Kate, can you see Diego from up there?" He asked the Togetic.

Kate lowered to them and sadly shook her head. "I've looked, but I can't see Sid or Diego anywhere."

Manny was helping Ellie over a log. "You think my ankles look fat?" Ellie asked her husband, since she was still pregnant.

"Ankles? What ankles?" Manny joked a little.

Just then, the six of them heard something from the sky. They looked up to see the young Mouthdigger, Ronald falling over to them. Manny was able to catch the kid with his tusks and trunk.

"Ronald? Where did you come from?" Dog asked in confusion. Ronald pointed a shaky front hoof in the direction he came from. Max and the others saw the screaming crowd running from the playground, much to their horror.

"Oh no!" Max, Kate, Manny, and Cat exclaimed. The mammoth accidentally dropped Ronald just as they ran off to figure out what was going on.


Right now, Sid was confronting one of his kids who just ate the child of a mother Ardark.

"Okay, come on. Spit him out." Sid commanded. The child, Egbert, shook his head and whimpered a little. "If you don't spit out Little Johnny, we're leaving the playground this instant!" Sid warned sternly. Little Johnny's mother nodded a little, slightly impressed with Sid's parenting skills.

Sid then tried the usual counting to 3. "One... Two... Don't make me say 'three'." That seemed to work because Egbert finally coughed someone out. A baby bird who was shaken up a little and covered in saliva.

"There we are, a picture of health." Sid said happily.

"That's not Little Johnny." the Ardark mother pointed out.

Sid just shrugged, "Well, better than nothing."

"Oh, Maddison!" a mother bird came and picked up the kid that was spat out and running away.

Sid laughed nervously, then he turned back to Egbert, who tried to sneak away. "Come on, barf him up."

"What in the name of frozen stuffed jalapenos is going on here?" Norbert asked as he and the other Pride Team members came into the playground and saw the damage done to it.

"Oh, hey guys." Sid said nervously. Egbert finally spat out Little Johnny, who groaned even as his mother dragged him away to safety. Egbert then ran off, unknowingly knocking the ice mobile a little. Seeing that it would fall soon, Manny tried to save it. He didn't make it, and the mobile broke into many icy pieces.

Heartbroken that his hard work for his and Ellie's child was now totaled, Manny said nothing. "I'm really sorry." Sid said, feeling guilty about what happened.

The sloth didn't get a reply as the team was too busy looking at the damage done to the playground.

"This place is totaled." Crash said.

"And we didn't wreck it." Eddie said, sadly holding a piece of the destroyed playground.

"We're losing our touch, Bro." Crash told Eddie, who sadly nodded and dropped the piece he was holding.

Of course, Sid tried to lighten the mood, "Well, the important thing is that no one got hurt." But then he pointed out that some got hurt, plus one he accidentally stepped on.

"Those three kids really did a number on this place." Norbert said.

Daggett just shrugged a little, "Oh, they were just playing. Just like that one is, playing with another kid right now." He pointed to Shelly, who was hungrily chasing a kid bird.

Max saw that and he knew right away who that was. Sparks left his red cheeks as he angrily turned to Sid and began to yell/scold at him. "I told you to take them back, but instead of listening to me, you kept them! Now look what they've done! Do you know how much time it took Manny to get it just right for his child!?" As he went on, he was backing Sid a little over to the three kids.

"Okay, granted, we do have some discipline issues." Sid admitted nervously, scared of the sudden anger his Pikachu leader was giving out.

"Eating other kids is ANYTHING but a discipline issue!" Max yelled.

"But he spit them out." Sid gestured to Egbert.

"Oh, well that changes everything! Why don't we give him a gold star? Kid of the week!" Max suggested in sarcasm, still pretty angry. Despite that, Egbert was pretty happy and wagging his tail.

Max then shook his head to try and calm down. Then he told Sid as gently as he could, yet firm like a leader, "Sid, I know this gonna be hard, but you have to face the facts. Those three don't belong here. So, whatever they are, wherever you found them, you have to take them back now."

"Max! I'm not getting rid of my kids!" Sid exclaimed, holding the three kids, who were saddened by what the Pikachu said, huddled together close to their 'mother'.

Then suddenly, fear rose as a tremor shook the ground a little. "EARTHQUAKE!" a mother bird shouted and hid her head in the ice. The baby bird tried to do the same, but she only knocked herself out.

While scared himself, Sid tried to calm the three trembling children, "It's okay, it's okay. Momma's here."

The tremors were getting worse. Crash and Eddie rushed over to Ellie in fear and they stood on her tusks. CatDog rushed over to Kate and hid behind their adopted Togetic sister in fear. Then, to their confusion, a loud beastly shriek echoed through the valley.

"Do earthquakes shriek?" Crash asked in confusion.

Riolu looked ahead of them and his eyes widened for some reason. "Guys, I don't think this is an earthquake. Something tells me that something pretty big is coming our way!" He said while pointing at something that was indeed coming to them.

Soon, everyone in the valley gasped at the something coming their way... except for a kid horned beaver who was starting to eat a twig when he heard something. He looked just as he saw a tree falling in his path, the kid screamed and jumped out of the way, Only to be in the path of a giant scaly foot that was about to squish him. He screamed and braced himself, but the foot missed and walked off.

Everyone else was slowly backing in fear. Before them was a... Female T-Rex who paused in her steps to give off a shrieking roar at those much smaller than her. For the Pride Team, they stood there with wide eyes. They couldn't believe that they were seeing a real life dinosaur before them. And from what they were seeing, she didn't look pretty happy. Crash and Eddie froze in shock, then they fainted with their tails still holding on to their sister's tusks.

CatDog shook as they held each other. "Cat, I thought those guys were extinct!" Dog yelled in fear.

Cat gulped before he replied. "Well, Dog, I'd say that's ONE angry fossil!"

Max knew right away what was going on. "SID!" He called for the sloth, but he turned and saw that Sid and the three T-Rex babies were no longer with them. Sid was gesturing the babies to a small cave to hide as fast as he could.

The female adult T-Rex marched over, looking around while the villagers ran screaming. Then the T-Rex poked her head through the valley's stone bridge. Instantly, everyone, Pokemon and animal, remained silent, confused on what they should do.

Manny then quietly and slowly warned everyone else, "Nobody... move... a muscle."

The fear of everyone got higher as the tried to do what Manny suggested. The T-Rex narrowed her eyes at everyone suspiciously, and that made them even more afraid. Only a fool would be dumb enough to move a muscle and scream in absolute fear.

...Sadly, that's what a male Mole-Hog did, he moved more than one muscle, ran away, and screamed in absolute fear.

"Moron." Crimson dully whispered, taking a glance at the Mole-Hog.

The T-Rex saw that as well, so she roared and crashed through the stone bridge as she advanced through the valley. Everyone, no longer able to stay still and silent, scattered in fear, staying away from the dinosaur's path.

"Look out! She's coming over!" Rockruff warned.

Pansear looked determined to stop the dinosaur. "Stand back, guys! I got this!" He ran off to take on the T-Rex... only to comically scream as he got knocked back and hit a stone wall behind Norbert and Daggett. "...Never mind." Pansear groaned in pain. Max and Manny pushed Kate and Ellie out of the way just as the T-Rex walked past them.

"Uh, guys, how come that giant reptile hasn't tried to eat anyone with her sharp teeth?" Dog asked in confusion.

Light had a pretty good idea why. "She's not looking for a meal, she's searching for her kids! The ones that were with Sid!" He told them.

Max's eyes widened in fear. "Oh no! I've gotta warn him!" He raced off as fast as his paws can carry him to find Sid. Kate was floating after him.

Sid was checking, then he backed away as the T-Rex walked past the cave. His fear grew when he heard his children whimpering. He quietly pleaded to them not to cry. "No, no, no, shh! Don't cry. Don't cry." Yoko lets out a whine before Sid clamps his mouth shut.

The female T-Rex heard something and decided to check it out. Sid tried to calm them down with a little song, but he grew pretty scared when he heard something coming their way.

In the middle of his soothing song, he screamed when the female T-Rex lifted the rock ceiling with her mouth. She dropped when she happily saw the three T-Rex babies while Sid yelped and jumped into a confused Yoko's arms when the rock crashed close to them. Yoko dropped the sloth, just as the female T-Rex angrily growled at the sloth that stole her kids in the first place.

Sid was breathing too quickly as he hid the kids behind him.

"SID!" Max called out. He and Kate hid behind a rock behind the T-Rex. Sid gazed at the two Pokemon as the Pikachu called out to him again, "Give them to her! She's their mother!"

"How do I know she's their mother!?" Sid yelled back, not getting what Max was talking about.

"What do you want to see, a birth certificate? She's a dinosaur!" Max yelled, desperate and frustrated about the situation.

Sid was comforting the babies, still not wanting to give up on them. "Well I put in the blood, sweat, and tears to raise them!" He argued.

"For a day!" Max pointed. Then he yelled one last them, "Give them back, you bonehead!"

Sid once again ignored his friend and angrily turned to the female T-Rex in front of him. "Look, these are my kids!" Sid yelled. The T-Rex raised a confused eyebrow at the sloth. Then again, that would explain why no harm came to the three little ones.

"And you're gonna have to go through me to get them!" Sid once again leaned back to protect them.

Taking that as a challenge, the T-Rex roared one last time and lowering her head over to the four of them. Sid screamed out in fear and his friends gasped at this.

The T-Rex then began to stomp away while holding the frightened T-Rex babies and a screaming Sid by their tails in her mouth. Now Sid was being kidnapped by an angry dinosaur.

"SID!" Kate shouted in horror.

"OH NO! SID!" Max shouted as they watched the dinosaur take their friend away as revenge for taking her babies.

"Help!" Sid screamed while disappearing into the forest. His friends just stood there in both shock and disbelief.


Meanwhile, not too far from what happened, Diego was sadly and aimlessly wandering around since yesterday. He was still trying to figure out what to do now that he was on his own. He once thought about moving to the Pride Lands with Simba, but since he and Nala would be expecting a baby of their own, he scratched that idea right away.

Just then, a familiar and also annoying Antelope ran right past him. Since the Antelope recognized the tiger from yesterday, he called out to him, "RUUUUUN!"

Not taking the hint, Diego called back to him in annoyance, "Don't you have anything better to do?" Then he yelped and jumped out of the just before he could get crushed by a giant foot.

He was shocked and confused to see a T-Rex walking away. Then, he heard a familiar scream for help. He was surprised to see a familiar sloth in the mouth of the dinosaur.

"Sid?" Diego muttered. He never thought he'd see one of his best friends again anytime soon. But he wondered, if Sid was in trouble, what about the other members of the Pride Team that were in Ice Age Valley? Were they doing okay?


Well, there you have it! Next chapter, the Pride Team will journey underground to save Sid from the dinosaur! Until then, see ya, guys!
