Chapter 32: Goodbye Acme Acres

The next day, everybody reported to court to participate in the lawsuit against the Duffs. Right now, they were finishing the trial. "Gentlemen of the jury, have you reached your verdict?" asked the judge. "We have your honor. We find the defendants, guilty," said the jury. "Mr. and Mrs. Duff, as punishment, you and your family must leave Acme Acres and never return. Elmyra, you will be sentenced to an insane asylum in whatever town you're family will move to. You will be confiscated of all your current pets. Scrappy Doo will be transferred to a proper prison. Perhaps that'll give you time to think about how you can be a better pet owner," said the judge. She turned to Mr. and Mrs. Duff. "Mr. & Mrs. Duff, do you have anything to say before you and your family leave?" asked the judge. "Yes, your honor," said Mrs. Duff.

Mr. and Mrs. Duff turned to the animal residents. "Animals of Acme Acres. We just want to say that we're sorry for the trouble that our youngest daughter has caused you," said Mrs. Duff. "We had no idea that Elmyra still hadn't learned her lesson after the lawsuit scam years ago. We just hope that during our time away from Acme Acres, we can restore the Duff family name," said Mr. Duff. The Duffs began to leave the courthouse. Elmyra hung her head down in shame. Tears poured from her eyes since she was going to lose her pets. After the Duffs left, the animals let out sighs of relief. "She's gone at last," said Buster. "Good riddance to bad brats," said Plucky.

After the lawsuit, Scrappy Doo was sent to a proper prison. Johnny Pew had a long way to go before he could rebuild his film career. Jigglypuff turned to Ash and Pikachu, who turned away from her. "Look. I know that you still hate me for all the times I pestered you. But my time as a prisoner of Elmyra has made me realize that I was such a fool. Especially after Elmyra's other prisoners told me the harsh truth of why everybody falls asleep. I don't care about wanting people to listen to my song anymore. All I want now is your forgiveness. I'm sorry," said Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff waited for Ash and Pikachu to respond. They finally spoke.

"What you always did to us every time we fall asleep was really bad," said Ash. "But what happened to you, being a prisoner of Elmyra, that was beyond what you deserved," said Pikachu. "Okay. We forgive you, Jigglypuff, considering that you now learned your lesson," said Ash. "But I don't know what I'm going to do since I can't get anybody to stay away to hear my song," said Jigglypuff. She began to sob a bit. Just then, Mary then picked up Jigglypuff. "Why not stay with me? I promise you that I'll be a better caretaker than Elmyra was," said Mary. Jigglypuff smiled. "Thank you. I was beginning to everybody hated me to the point that nobody would want to be my friend," said Jigglypuff.

After packing, it was time for Fifi La Fume along with her mother and Spritzee to leave with Ash & Pikachu, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie to catch a train that will take them back to the surface. Fifi's friends were going to see them off. Everyone was sad to see Fifi go. "I wish you didn't have to leave," said Babs. "I know. But I lahve peekahchu ahnd peekahchu lahves me. I just reunited weeth heem ahnd dahn't wahnt to leave hees side evair ahgain," said Fifi. She then began to sing.

Fifi: No one ever mahde me feel like sahmeone

Pikachu was touched by Fifi's singing. "That was beautiful, Fifi," said Pikachu. "Merci, Peekahchu. I sahng eet fahr you. I sahng eet because I'm your geerlfriend," said Fifi. "Of course. You have been since last night. I met many girls who have taken interest in me, but none of them were right for me. But come to think of it," said Pikachu. He began to sing too.

Pikachu: (Spoken) No one ever ever really knew me

'Til her

Girls: Aaaaaaaah!

Pikachu: Everyone was always out to bleep me

'Til her

Girls: Aaaaaaaah!

Pikachu: Never met a girl I ever trusted

Always dealt with shysters in the past

Now I'm well adjusted 'cause I found true love at last

Girls: Aaaaaaaah!

Pikachu: (Spoken) I don't need help, thank you.

Always playing singles, never doubles

'Til her

Never had a girl to share my troubles

'Til her

Fifi: He filled up my empty life

Both: Filled it to the brim

Fifi: Zere could nevair evair be ahnahthair one like heem

Everybody else was touched by Fifi's singing too. Fifi was now ready to say her goodbyes to her friends. "Au revoir, Bahbs ahnd Sheerley. I'm going to meess you two. You'll ahlways be my best friends," said Fifi. "We'll miss you too, Fifi," said Babs. "Like, don't forget to write," said Shirley. "Dahn't wahrry. I wahn't," said Fifi. Fifi then went up to Buster and Plucky. "Bustair, Plucky, tahke good cahre of Bahbs ahnd Sheerley," said Fifi. "Don't worry, Fifi," said Buster. "We will," said Plucky. Fifi approached Hamton next. "Fifi, I'm sorry I broke your heart and chose a different girl. But can you forgive me and still be friends?" asked Hamton. "Wee. I fahrgive you. Aht least I now hahve a new boy," said Fifi. She turned to Hamton's duck girlfriend. "Tahke good cahre of Hahmtahn. Mahke sure he doesn't eat too much," said Fifi. "Will do," said Hamton's Duck Girlfriend. "Pikachu, be the good boyfriend to Fifi that I couldn't be," said Hamton. "Pika," said Pikachu, nodding.

The next person she was going to say her goodbyes to was Furrball. "Furrbahll, even zough we nevair develahped a full relahtionsheep, you will ahlways be my pepperahni of pahssion," said Fifi. "Uh, thanks," said Furrball, blushing. The next students Fifi turned to were Calamity Coyote and Little Beeper. "Cahlameety, zanks fahr mahkeeng me ze electreec proof leepsteeck. Eet'll be useful fahr whenevair I keess Peekahchu. Leettle Beepair, wance ahgain, zanks fahr delivereeng ze lahve lettair to Peekahchu.

"Gahgo, keep mahkeeng sings frahm naht getteeng too bahreeng een Ahcme Ahcres," said Fifi. "Will do," said Gogo. Fifi turned to Bimbette. "Beembette, I know we hahd our deefferences een ze pahst, but I zank you fahr helpeeng me sahve Peekahchu frahm Team Rahcket's clutches," said Fifi. "Your welcome, Fifi," said Bimbette.

"Mahry, zank you fahr your kindness ahnd helpeeng me cahtch my Spreetzee," said Fifi. "Your welcome," said Mary. "Ze rest of you, zank fahr being my friends ahnd prahfessahrs," said Fifi.

Fahr she ees a deleecahte rahse, yes?" asked Pepé. "If you break her heart, we will know and we will hunt you down for it," said Minerva. "Uh, whatever you say, Pepé and Minerva," said Pikachu, sweating.

"Au revoir, everybahdy. I wahn't fahrget you ahll," said Fifi. "Goodbye, Fifi," said Babs. "Goodbye," said everybody, waving. "Goodbye," said Ash, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie. "Pika Pi," said Pikachu. After saying their goodbyes, Fifi, Fleur, Pinky, Violet, Pikachu, Ash, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie boarded the train and it began to head toward the surface.


Elmyra has been given what's coming to her and all the animals she held captive are now free. Jigglypuff now has a new home with Mary Melody. I had to include the song of "Til Him" from the Producers. Fifi and her mother as well as her Spritzee are now traveling with Ash and co. all the way back to Pallet Town.
