[Edit: D'oh! The last chapter had the wrong title!... Well, it's fixed now... Also I'm releasing chapters a bit earlyer so I can post a special chapter while it still lines up with the storyline.]
[*Narrator voice* Here are our heroes again, waking up on a beautiful day to begin traveling… AHEM I said WAKING- UP!]
"Not again…" Bailey said.
"Yo Gütter, they got waffles back here!"
Gütter stayed fast asleep.
Dexter vibrated himself out of the hat. "Leave this to me." Dexter began beeping like an alarm clock.
Gütter's eyes flashed open and he threw Bailey at the alarm clock.
"Ow!" Bailey and Dexter shouted.
Gütter rubbed his eyes. "Oops, I was having a dream that I was nine again, and that pikachu was actually a doll all along, so I threw the doll because I didn't want to go to school."
Bailey rubbed her head. "You got a good aim, I'll give you that."
Dexter sparked "I think I dis-dis-dis-dis-dis- BZZZT dislocated my sound chip… There we go."
Dillard grabbed his keys "We should get going."
They all got in the J.S. Cyndaboat and headed toward an island Dexter claimed to be called "Berry Island."
"Hey, according to Dexter, this next island is known for it's berries. Berry shops, berry trees, and just about everywhere there's a pokéblock mixer!" Gütter said, pointing toward the island up ahead.
"Sounds cool! Maybe we should all even try and make our own pokéblock!" Dillard suggested.
"Hm. I wonder if the pokéblock will cause any problems when we become people again." Bailey wondered.
"Nah! You know Bailey, you really do worry a lot."
"Do not!"
Gütter thought for a moment on his response "…I'm not goin' into THAT augment. Okay, you win, you don't worry a lot."
"Thank you."
"I think you mean 'Thank you berry much'!" Gütter burst with laughter, Bailey slapped him on his ear. "Ow!"
"You think I didn't hurt my ear when you threw me?!"
Gütter rubbed what he now realized was a very sensitive ear.
Once they arrived on the island, they immediately noticed all around berry stands as far as the eye could see. Each one with shelves full of so much variety of berries. A suspicious couple off to the side seemed to be a strong attraction.
A man with an italian accent walked up and said "Ah, hello! I welcome you and your pikachu. Please, would you three like to try some wonderful nomel berries!"
The three pikachu grabbed a slice. Pikachu ate its slice and said "Chaa!"
"Well, pikachu liked it. Maybe I should like it too!" Bailey ate her's and she messed up her face. "TOO SOUR!"
"Pffft! Your over reacting."
Bailey wasn't, she was so desperate to have something else in her mouth she began to chew on Dillard's pants!
"Ugh! Bailey, get off!" Dillard said, hopping on one leg as her pika-drool spread through his jeans.
Gütter ate his slice as Bailey managed to say "No, don't!"
Gütter stood still for a second and smiled really big, and could only express himself by replicating pikachu's "Chaa!" He continued to use his pikachu voice, just because of how exited he was. "Oh please sir, if it's not too much trouble I'd like some more nomel berries on the double!"
The two suspicous shopkeepers shrieked and said "Prepare for some delicious berries." "We took the sub because we missed all the ferries!" "To protect the world from their starvation!" "To give berries to the people of every nation!" "To denounce the evils of pesticide gloves!" "To extend our sales to the stars above!" "Jessie!" "And James!" "Team Rocket sells berries at the speed of light!" "Surrender now, and take a bite!" "Meowth, that's ripe!" "Wobbuffet!" [Wow, that was NOT easy...]
"Yeah, yeah. If your here for the three of us just go ahead and try, if you really are selling berries I'll take any nomel ones you might have." Gütter said, sounding quite bored.
"Hey! We worked hard on that motto!" Said James. [and he was right]
"Yeah, show a little respect-" Meowth started.
"For the thieves? As if!" Gütter said, still bored. He snapped his fingers. "C'mon guys, let's send them back to the Hoenn region… TRIPLE THUNDERBOLT, NOW!"
"PIIKAAACHUUUU" "THUUNDEEERBOOOOLT!" The three pikachu shouted, blasting out into the sky.
"We're blasting off again!" "Wobba!"
[A while later.]
"Look Jess, they really did blast us off back to the Hoenn region" James said, looking at a nearby sign.
"Yeah, and thanks to this here hay pile, the landing was pretty soft too!" Meowth said, who was quite comfortable.
"Well I say we go back and teach that twerpachu a lesson!"
"What?!" James and meowth shouted.
"But Jess, we still have to be back on the show by next Thursday! We can't stay in this storyline!"
"Please! It's a Friday, and I want my revenge! We'll have to split our budget so we can have some money to spend on the twerp, and the rest to spend on twerp number 2."
"But then there's not even enough money for us to protect ourselves from any voltage at all!" Meowth shouted.
"I'm getting the balloon for our way back, you two better stay out of my way!"
"Okay…" They both sighed.
[Back with Gütter and friends.]
Before they even got to the pokémon center, pikachu and Gütter had already eaten two entire nomel berries.
"Hey you two, why don't you try and save some of those berries for the pokéblock mixer?" Dillard said. He really wanted to see some of the effects pokéblock can have on pokémon.
"Alright, I was just about full anyway."
"Pi-ika" Pikachu agreed.
"Hey look, it's the pokémon center!" Bailey said, pointing directly ahead. She looked over at Gütter, he was with pikachu, both wide-eyed at a stand that had 'Doctor Chu' in big letters.
The man behind the stand sounded both southern and british. "Howdy do, you fine and dandy little yellow chuvian! How'd you like to have your very own pokéblock case in the shape of the sonic pokédex, holds 2 times as much as your typical case! Or, you could have this limited edition TMIP [Time Machine In Pokéball] pokéblock case, holds not two, not three, but EIGHT times as much pokeblock as your ordinary pokeblock case!"
"Yes! Yes! I'll take the TMIP!" Gütter pulled a few quarters out from his hat.
"Excellent choice kid!" He handed him a small blue box with the normal top of a pokéblock case.
Gütter and pikachu were both smiling widely "Okay, now let's go to the pokémon center."
The four of them were then walking toward the pokémon center, Gütter and pikachu spinning the pokéblock case in circles while they were making the noise "WHEEwwwWWWHHEEEWwww." "PiiIIIIKAAAAaaaapiiiiKAAAAAaaaa."
They walked up to the front desk and said "Hi Nurse Joy!"
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
"I'd just like a checkup on my cydaquil."
"And my squirtle please."
Dillard looked back at pikachu and Gütter, now they were fighting over the case.
"Mine!" "Pika!" "Mine!" "Pika!" "Pika!" "PIiii…?" Pikachu got confused and let go by accident, pikachu fell on its head, and the case went flying at Gütter right in the face, Gütter stumbled back a few steps and the two pikachu fainted immediately.
"Uhh… and I guess my friend and his pikachu could use some help…"
Nurse Joy tried to keep her usual smile and said "Um, alright."
[A few minutes later.]
"Your cyndaquil and your squirtle are both in top condition, the two pikachu will be awake in a few more minutes, they both hit their heads pretty hard."
"And they were fighting over this little pokeblock case." Dillard said holding the blue box.
"Clearly a couple of true chuvians."
"Chuvi-wha?" Bailey said confused.
"Chuvian; basically someone who likes the television show 'Doctor Chu' "
"Hm, I've heard about that show. I thought about watching it a few times, but never got to it."
"I'm not too big a fan of british things… Or shows with subtitles…"
A chancy walked into the room, pushing a cart with Gütter and pikachu. "Heh. What, haven't you passed basic reading?"
"No! I just like reading in books, and hearing on TV."
"Pfft! Shows with poke-lip dubs are for babies! I mean just imagine how confused a pokemon could get by watching those."
Pikachu covered its head to support Gütter's point… Or maybe because it had a headache from the fall. Hm.
"Ah, it looks like these two pikachu will be just fine, perhaps you should hold on to that case for now."
"Hm." Dillard put it in his jacket pocket.
"Aww…" "Pi-iikaaa…" They were both disappointed.
"Are we gonna make pokéblock or what?" Bailey asked.
Gütter and pikachu grabbed the nomel berries and went directly to the mixers. Gütter grabbed a tomato berry and ran back again.
"I wonder what he's up to now…" Dillard said.
Gütter carefully sliced the nomel berry and put it in the mixer, he looked at the tomato berry, and took a bite.
"No wait!" The kid next to him said.
Gütter began to sweat a little, his mouth quivered, he closed his eyes expecting a lot of burning, and he burped a small flame. Nothing else happened. Except now everyone was staring at the one person (well, pokémon) that could handle a full bite of tomato.
"Not bad, bit spicy. I think I'll just use some nanab berry instead." Gütter jumped over the table and grabbed a nanab berry. Everyone kept staring. "What? I bit into a tomato berry, big deal!" He began to cut the nanab and everyone decided it was best to continue with what they were doing. Gütter and pikachu tried one small slice of the nanab "Hm. Slightly bitter, but sweet. I think it'll taste great."
"Pika pika." Pikachu agreed.
Gütter pressed one of the buttons on top, the machine began mixing. When it was done, it made a total of 16 pokéblock. Gütter made sure he wrote down the recipe. "Let's try it."
Gütter ate one. "Mmm… Crunchy, a hint of sour, sweet, and a little kick of bitter to even things out."
Pikachu took one and ate it. "Chaa!"
Dillard grabbed one. "I wonder how it tastes." He ate it. "Not bad. Pretty good, in fact."
Gütter offered Bailey one. "C'mon, you know you want to."
"Alright, alright." She grabbed it and ate it. "Hey, that is pretty good."
"Sure am glad I wrote down the recipe. Who would have thought my first try would be a good one?"
Gütter made enough batches to fill up the TMIP case. "Could I have my case back?"
"Fine, but not for a while if I catch you two fighting over it again." Dillard handed Gütter his case back.
"Alright pikachu, from now on this isn't a toy, this is where my 'Gütter's Yummy Yellows' are held."
"Pika. Pika." Pikachu agreed.
Dillard and Bailey made their own, Dillard's was a bit spicier, and sweeter, it was a pretty good combination too. Baileys was… well… Terrible.
Gütter nearly threw up. "Are you trying to poison me? If you are I'm glad we picked up those pecha berries! That tasted like raw fish mixed with mud, burned in a deep fryer that was using the wrong oil, covered salt from an oil well, and finally thrown into-" Gütter stopped and nearly threw up again.
Pikachu didn't look so good after eating that one block, and wobbled off and… They don't pay me enough to narrate what happened next…
Dillard simply smelled it and said "Are you sure this was even made out of those berries?"
Bailey put her head down in shame.
Pikachu came back, and fainted. Gütter pulled out its pokéball, still sick from that pokéblock. "Pikachu, return. Ugh." *Pokéball return noise* "You and your stomach deserve a good rest." Gütter put the pokéball back into his hat. He fell off the table and landed flat on his hat, somehow balancing… For 10 seconds…
Dillard got out a plastic bag and a marker, he drew a biohazard symbol on the front and put the poke block in it. "Good thing we're still in the pokémon center…" He called out "Nurse Joy! We've got a couple of poisoned pikachu back here!"
She came in and picked up Gütter and pikachu's pokéball.
(Do- Do- dodo- DO!)
"Gütter and pikachu should be relatively fine… As for you Bailey, you may want to try doing something else if you could cause something this severe."
Pikachu covered its mouth as its ears perked up. Pikachu slumped its head on to Gütter's shoulder.
Nurse Joy said "There was very little I could do, it's not food poisoning, it's simply a very terrible combination."
Bailey walked out of the pokémon center, too full of shame. She walked back to the boat, Dillard followed carrying pikachu and Gütter. He set them down in the boat, and began driving. After a little bit, pikachu looked like its head was about to explode. It threw up out into to water.
Gütter laughed "Hey guys, I think pikachu just learned wate- HMPH!" Gütter turned around and did the same.
"Oh! Why do you two have to rub it in?!"
Gütter turned around. "Why did you have to- HLG!" He turned back.
"I've never seen anything like this before! We should consider this stuff a lethal weapon!" Dillard said holding the biohazard bag. "You could make a grimer sick with this stuff!"
"I GET IT!" She shouted.
Gütter pulled out a pecha berry. "Please work." He groaned. He took a bite and smiled. "Ahh, I almost forgot what something good tastes like. I think I found the solutio- HMLP!" Gütter continued throwing up with pikachu.
"Nurse Joy said she couldn't do anything, I guess we'll just have to wait for them to both puke their guts out."
"Great…"
Hey, don't worry you two, I've been there. Huh? Oh, right. Narration.
They were out at see for a while when suddenly a magikarp came splashing out of the water.
"Hey that reminds me, what happens when you t- HNG!" Gütter turned around and threw up again.
Gütter's pokédex opened. "Next destination is within visible distance, have a look!"
Everyone turned around to see an island, except it wasn't the kind they were looking for.
Dexter then said "Recalibrating… Error detected, this island is smaller than marked on the map, it is actually one of those small-island-with-two-trees-on-it-like-the-ones-you-see-in-cartoons type of island."
"I think moving on water isn't any better for me and pikachu anyway, *breath* let's stop here."
They all got out and settled down, there were some branches on the ground that Dillard used to start a fire. Gütter and pikachu were groaning, staying near the water.
"Ugh. I'm not sure if I can keep this up much longer, before you know it I migh-" Gütter thought he was about to throw up, but then he stopped. A minute passed and he didn't try to throw up. "Hey guys! I think I'm finally better now!"
"Pika. Pikpika… Pik- PIK!" Pikachu mumbled. It threw up one last time and stopped the same way Gütter had. "PI pikachu!"
"Looks like pikachu's recovered too." Dillard pointed out.
"Well, now that me and pikachu are completely empty of anything in our stomaches…" Gütter's stomach growled loudly as he stated this. "…Let's eat!" Gütter pulled out his book.
Bailey looked up. "How's a biography going to feed us?"
"Brock sometimes overdoes some chapters. Almost every time he cooks something, he accidentally writes down what he did to make it in perfect detail." Gütter flipped through some pages. "Here it is, Brock's recipe for Jelly Doughnuts!"
"They look like normal rice balls to me…" Dillard said.
"Looks can be deceiving. Has anyone here ever had rice pudding before?"
Pikachu raised its hand.
"…Really? Well, I guess it'll be a surprise for everyone else then." Gütter grabbed some bags from the boat and began putting stuff together. He got out the rice and a bit of sugar, after that he was working too fast for me too narrate what was happening.
"I didn't know he could cook…" Bailey said, intrigued.
"Eh, I think Brock just put- well… a LOT of detail into what he did. Gütter's just good at following instructions." Dillard said, not convinced.
Gütter finished it off by throwing the filling and the rice balls in the air. They all landed in perfect formation. "Looks about right."
"Sure smells good." Bailey noted.
"C'mon, let's let everyone have a taste!" Dillard said. "Come on out cyndaquil!"
"You too squirtle!"
"Cynda!" "Squir!"
"Time for desert guys! And don't worry, I only used pokémon-safe ingredients. So grab one!"
Everyone grabbed a doughnut. And everyone smiled at the first bite.
"These are great!" Bailey said.
"Pikapika!" Pikachu said, too joyful to remember its manners.
"Cyndaquil!" Cyndaquil said with a smile. It's flame started out of happiness.
"Squir-tle!" Squirtle said, also smiling.
"I certainly can say one thing's for sure, Brock has an interesting way of making doughnuts."
"The weird thing is that there are actually multiple things in here that look like rice balls but have different names. It seems to end after the first series."
"How many chapters are in there any way?"
Gütter thought for a moment. "About 420ish"
"You trade a girl's information for each chapter, and you're telling me you have 420 chapters?!"
"Umm... Maybe?" Before Dillard could say anything, Gütter changed the subject. "So how about we go to the next island?" Gütter put everything up and jumped into the boat.
"Fine. Return cyndaquil."
"Back inside squirtle."
"C'mon in pikachu."
Dillard began to drive the boat. "So where to next?"
"Dexter?"
"Nex- de- des- de- i-isl-i-i- *Extremely glitched metapod cry*" Dexter crashed.
"...That way..." Gütter said, pointing to the nearest ACTUAL island.
"Let's go then..." Dillard drove the boat in the direction Gütter pointed in.
[*Narrator* And so, after having some fun with food, our heros set out for another island. What will await them? Find out next time!]
