Chapter 3

Trapped on an Evil Mutant Water Ride!

(The elite four are minding their own business when Lance runs in)

Lance: (panting) HELP ME!!!!

Will, Koga, and Bruno: HOW????

Lance: Whitney's after me!!!

Koga: Oh. That's bad.

Lance: Lock the door! Lock the door! Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh! (he runs to his gym)

Bruno: Oookay. Apparently Lance doesn't like Valentine's Day all that much.

(Next scene. The E4 and the Champion are at some little happy festival thing. It's at a very famous theme park. They're hoping people won't recognize them, but they do)

Lance: I hate it when everyone's staring at us.

Will: (To Lance) We ARE wearing the same thing we always do…

Karen: Not me! I had to change since, ahem, LANCE, poured water all over me…

Will: But you're wearing the same type of clothes… -_-

Karen: So?

(Everyone but Karen sighs)

Lance: Oooh! Ooh! Look over there! I wanna go over there!

Bruno: Well I wanna go over there!

Koga: There! There!

Will: Heh. I guess this means we're either going to split up or take turns.

Lance: OKAY! Since everyone wants to do something different, we're going to go in partners. That's equal.

Will: Um, Lance? There are 5 of us.

Lance: I know!

Will: 2 does not go into 5 evenly.

Lance: …I knew that. Okay fine. 2 partners and one person by themselves.

Koga: I'm going with Bruno!

Bruno: Ditto.

Karen: I am NOT being with Lance. Knowing him he'd try sticking me on a water ride. _

Lance: (thinking) How'd she know?

Will: Who cares? Someone… Erg! We'll figure this out! Who DOESN'T want a partner?

(crickets chirp in the background)

Will: Where'd Lance go?

Karen: He's halfway across the park by now. He took off a few seconds ago.

Will: Then… UGH!

(Karen rolls her eyes)

Will: I guess you're with me. I could've guessed. -_-

Karen: O_O Look over there!

Will: What?

(Will turns around to see a very, very, very, very tall building)

Will: Wooooahhh…

(suddenly Suicune, Raikou, and Entei walk out)

Suicune: How did you guys get here?

Entei: You're filming Legendary Doggone it, right?

Will: …No.

Raikou: (to Entei and Suicune) See! I told you two that we were supposed to continue later!

Karen: Why don't you step back into that building, and pretend it never happened?

Dogs: O.K. (They go back inside)

(silence)

Will: What are we supposed to do again?

Karen: I believe the scene is supposed to change.

(Right. Anyway, this time the scene changes to… Hey Karen, can I see the script for a sec?)

Karen: Sure.

(Mmhmmm… Okay. The scene changes to Koga and Bruno.)

(We see Koga and Bruno… at… umm… the arcade.)

Koga: Why?

(Because I said so.)

Koga: OK.

Bruno: Koga, who are you conversing with?

Koga: The author.

Bruno: Oh, okay.

Koga: I'm bored. Let's go find Lance, since he has a map, and then we can go on those really tall water rides.

Bruno: Don't worry, I have a map.

Koga: Good.

Bruno: It'll only take us a few minutes to get there if we hurry!

(They rush out of the arcade before the line can get any longer. They eventually make it to the line for the water ride)

Koga: (reads sign) Bruno, look at this.

Bruno: What? (looks at sign)

WELCOME TO

REVENGE OF THE WHIRLPOOL GYARADOS

Remember, you must be at least 5"00 tall to enjoy this ride.

Things do pop out at you, and we here at Pokemon Amusement: Rides for the whole family® take no responsibility for children who should not have gone on this ride.

Koga: Umm… Maybe we should skip this ride…

Bruno: Nah, we're already here.

Koga: Yeah, I guess.

(they walk through the line, which is very very short due to the intensity of the attraction, and are seated in one of the log boats almost instantly)

Automatic voice: Please remain seated. Keep your arms, legs, head, and other body parts inside the boat at all times. Remember, children under the age of 13 are not allowed on this ride. Please dispose of all food or drinks before entering the ride, as the Gyarados used here are hungry and sometimes like to devour our guests. Since there is no guarantee you are coming out alive, we here take no responsibility for missing tourists. Please enjoy the ride.

(Koga and Bruno shiver)

Bruno: STOP THE RIDE!!! STOP THE RIDE!!! I WANNA GET OFF!!!

Koga: AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

(the ride goes smoothly for a few minutes, before taking a plunge-drop in pitch-blackness)

Gyarados: GYAAAAAAAAARRRR!!! (chomp chomp)

Bruno and Koga: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

(meanwhile)

Will: I sense something bad.

Karen: What is it? We're almost next in line!

Will: I know, but…

Voice in distance: GYAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!

More voices: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Karen and Will: ……

Will: Probably the haunted house. (they ignore the screams)

(meanwhile)

Lance: Oh woe is me. Whitney is after me, I don't have anyone to go on the rides with, and-

Voice: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Lance: What. Was. That? Oh well.

Voice: HEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!!

Lance: God that's annoying. They must have some really good horror rides.

Narrator voice: Oh no! It looks like Koga and Bruno are trapped on an evil mutant water ride from hell, and there is no one who wants to save them!

Will: They are?

Narrator: Quiet. You're ruining the suspense.

Will: oh. Sorry.

Narrator: Will they escape the ride in time? Find out on the next…

Koga: HELLLLPP USSSSSSS!!!!

Narrator: Ugh! They don't pay me enough for this job! STOP INTERRUPTING!!!

Bruno: BUT THE GYARADOS ARE ATTACKING!!!!!

Narrator: Oh whatever! Just review! (glares)
