Chapter 1- One Last Quest Begins

It was almost 1PM on the 23rd of September, 2004. The XISL All-Star game had been yesterday and Blizz was goalie. THanks to her, the West was victorious 4-1. PichuPal was still in bed sleeping the day away. He had taped the game for future reference and had celebrated with some others in town. His alarm clock was still blaring. You should know by now that PichuPal is a very lazy Pichu. He doesn't do work unless it was very important. To him, anyway. While he was sleeping, something was going on in space. A UFO hovered gently there while it's passengers were briefed on an upcoming mission. "Alright, now we should all be aware of teh fact that our last attack was pathetic!" shouted the alien leader. "I am very disgusted with how that went! Hopefully you morons will not mess us up when our good soldiers try to do things right. Now, you should all know that we got beaten by the entire country's defenses. But, this time, they won't stop us, nobody will. This time, our plan is fool proof. If we can't have the country, then nobody can!" Once the speech was done, the listeners all cheered. Meanwhile, back on Popstar, PichuPal was still asleep. Finally, a persistent knock at his door woke Sleeping Beauty from his dreams. "Man, who could be here this early," PichuPal muttered as he dragged himself out of bed to answer it. He opened the door to see Glagnar standing there. "Glagnar? What are you doing here this early?" PichuPal said, rubbing his eyes. Glagnar stared at him oddly, then pointed at a clock while replying. "Um, it's 1:15 in the afternoon," he replied. "Like I said, why'd you come so early?" PichuPal asked again. Glagnar rolled his eyes." Whatever. I came because I have heard there is trouble again," Glagnar started. "It would seem that those treacherous Pikachu have returned, but they have something else planned. Do you want to go check it out with me?" PichuPal looked at him, eyes wide. "Of course I do! Just wait a minute, I must eat breakfast and get my stuff," PichuPal said running back inside. A few minutes later, he returned with his bat and backpack. His hat had been on the entire time to begin with. "Ready to go?" he asked. Glagnar nodded and the two walked down Hackman Street and to the only exit/entrance in Pichu's Paradise. Once again, PichuPal was off on another journey.

End of Chapter 1.

Chapter 2- SakVillage

As we rejoin our two yellow, mouse-like companions, the are on their way to recruit a few well-known allies aid tehm in their quest. In the meantime, they are arguing about something like two people who have different beliefs about something do. "I'm telling you, that pitcher got lucky I missed the ball. I would have wasted it had I hit it," PichuPal said. "No, you missed cause you suck. You should just quit," Glagnar argued. "I don't suck! Must you always say that when I strike out?" PichuPal shouted back. "Hey, you missed the ball 3 times in a row, so you must suck," Glagnar replied. "Did you ever stop to consider the fact that the pitcher may be really good?" PichuPal said in defense. "Did you ever stop to consider that he might be horrible?" Glagnar responded. If you haven't figured it out by now, they were arguing about a baseball game PichuPal had played a couple days ago. He dragged Glagnar out to watch him "lay the smack down on the other team." Of course, PichuPal's team pretty good and their opponent was near the bottom. PichuPal had gotten struck out when his team needed him to hit the ball. The bases were loaded in the last inning with 2 out and his team down 4-3. He got up to the plate and struck out for the second time that game. Obviously, his team lost. Glagnar was saying it was because he sucked. PichuPal was saying it was just a bad day or the pitcher was good or any other excuse he could think of. "Look, the sun was in my eyes," he stated. "Dude, you were wearing a cap and the sun was behind the backstop," Glagnar said. PichuPal gives him his usual "Really? could've sworn it was different..." type look. "Really? I could've sworn the sun was in my eyes..." he said. "That's cause your too stupid to remember such a detail," Glagnar said. They kept talking about the game as they continued walking the path to SakVillage.

Glagnar and PichuPal finally make it to SakVillage and continue onward to Papersak's. Along the way, they still argue about the game. This adventure would unfortunately cause him to miss the last few games before the play-offs. "The team probably will lose cause I'm not there to play center field," PichuPal sighed. "No, they'll probably win the championship without you," Glagnar said. "Ooh, Mr. Confidence. My team can't win without me," PichuPal said. "Whatever," Glagnar muttered. Once they got to Papersak's house, PichuPal knocked on the door. Moments later, the door opened and Papersak appeared in the doorway. "Oh, hi PichuPal. Glagnar. Come on in," Papersak greeted. "No thanks. We won't be staying for long," PichuPal refused. "Oh, is something wrong?" Papersak asked in a worried tone. "Yes, and we'd like your help, if you're interested," PichuPal said. "Of course I'll come. What's the matter this time?" Papersak replied. "The whole planet is in grave danger. Whilst meditating, I got a message warning me that somethong extremely bad was going to happen to the planet. So, I went and told PichuPal and then we arrived here," Glagnar explained. Papersak nodded understandingly. "Alright then, let's get moving!" she shouted. "But first, we need some help from a cold-hearted bada," PichuPal said. The otehrs knew exactly who he was talking about, and followed him as he led them to his residence.

Minutes later, they arrived in front of the house they were looking for on Kirkby Street. PichuPal knocked bravely on the door and about a minute later, a figure appeared in the door. "Yeah? What do you want?" said the figure. "James, would you like to assist us in saving the planet from certain destruction?" PichuPal asked. James opened the door a little more. "Will I get to beat up more stuff?" he asked. "I would believe greatly that you will. Maybe even more enemies then last time," Glagnar replied. James smiled evilly. Through his crooked smile, you could see his crooked, yellow teeth. It was obvious he had no concern for oral hygiene. "Excellent," he muttered in an evil and shady sounding voice. He no longer was a friend of Louie's because frankly, he just plain out never liked Louie to begin with. So, he finally told him off and broke Louie's fragile heart. Louie couldn't believe the person he had always considered a friend just suddenly came to him and said "I'm not your friend anymore because I just don't like you." Besides, they weren't getting Louie this time anyway cause he was too much of a weakling and a sissy. Once James was ready, they set off on the road again and headed out of SakVillage.

End of Chapter 2.

Chapter 3- LNGD City

The group of 4 continued on down the path headed for Toon Town where they would hope to find Pac. "Are we even sure Pac's home yet?" Papersak asked. They stopped suddenly to think about that. "Oh yeah! That's right! He's still in Sakurai City at the art school!" PichuPal exclaimed. "So, where should we go then?" Glagnar asked. "I know they screwed us last time, but we should go to LNGD City. Maybe they'll actually help this time," PichuPal suggested. Everybody nodded in agreement. And so, they went through Toon Town as that was the only way to LNGD City. It took about a half hour to span the town. People waved to them as they passed. Mostly waving at PichuPal and Papersak because they were the most famous of the group. They made sharp turn before DDR Town and headed south down the path that was directly connected to LNGD City.

They walked into the big city full of losers, nerds, geeks, and dorks. Hence the name, LNGD City. They still ahd no idea where James lived. Or Jim. Or Hutch. Or even Bunch. In fact, they had no idea where any of the LNGDs they knew lived. So, they wandered around looking for somebody they knew, namely James because he could round up everyone and lead them to the Sakurai City area due east. As they wandered aimlessly through the town, the sky grew darker. Minutes turned to hours as day turned to night. It was amazing how they had been wandering around for a long time and still hadn't seen anybody they recognized. Then, a blond haired male wearing glasses walked up to them. "Are you guys lost or something?" he said. They nodded. "Oh, me too. I just got here a few weeks ago and now I can't find my house," he said. "That must really suck for you," James said with a half smile. He loved to laugh at other people's pain and misfortune. He thought it was funny that the guy they ran into was lost and couldn't find his house. "Yeah. So, where are you guys trying to go?" said the guy. "We're trying to find James or someone else we know," PichuPal said. "We need their help to save the planet." That triggered it. That was the match that lit the cannon right there. "Really? So, that would mean your on an adventure, right? If you are, can I come along, too?" the guy asked frantically. "Sorta. We're on quest. And I guess you could come with us," PichuPal said. "Awesome! You guys rock! By the way, my name's William Toon. But, you can just call me Toon for short," Will introduced. "Hi, Toon. I'm Lord PichuPal, and these are mi amigos y amiga," PichuPal also introduced. The others told him their name as well. Luckily, Toon understood the last line PichuPal had said. So, they found a hotel, got a discount because Toon was an LNGD and stayed the night. It was much too late by this time to continue questing, unless they really wanted to camp out in the middle of a pathway. They next morning when all were awake, they got some breakfast in the lobby, then left the hotel and city behind them.

End of Chapter 3.

Chapter 4- Sapphire Sea

The group, accompanied by their new recruit, now approaches the sea port at the shoreline of the Sapphire Sea. "Where are we going next?" Toon asked PichuPal. "We're headed for Magnet Town, but to get there, we must cross the Sapphire Sea to get there," he answered. "Alright," Toon said. "It's too bad the season's over," Papersak said sadly. "Otherwise we could watch a Magnets game." The season had ended on September 15 at Magnets Stadium when Magnet Town defeated Cappy Town 3 games to none to take the series and championship. On the 22nd, Blizz helped the Western All-Stars defeat the Eastern All-Stars at the All-Star Game. James couldn't wait to be drafted the Magnets and play for them in 2005 and beyond. He was looking to have a nice lengthy career in the XISL with tons of hits and goals. He actually looked forward to having the most hits in the league. They arrived at the Sea Port and found a ferry. They got on after getting their tickets. A few minutes later, they were off.

The boat was destined for the area near Magnet Town. That was exactly why they got tickets for this particular boat. They all split up on the boat and did whatever seperately. It was as if they weren't even together. Papersak was busy admiring the sea. Even though she had been on it many times before, she still thought it looked beautiful. The blueness of the water reminded her of Mety. PichuPal was busy doing the usual: Nothing. He was leaning against a wall with is hat tipped down over his face trying to sleep. Glagnar stood atop the highest point on the ferry as if he was on look-out duty. James was busy thinking. He was extremely excited about next February, when the XISL's Preseason would start. But first, he'd have to get picked in December by Magnet Town's GM. Toon stood someplace doing random things to entertain himself. All of them were excited about arriving in Magnet Town and seeing the champion Magnets again. Of course, Toon had never met them or even knew who they were. LNGD City was isolated from sports because they could care less about it. Soon, they would be on land and walking to Magnet Town to visit Magneto, Crazydude, and Blizz, as they were the only Magnets they cared about. The subs barely ever played enough to get any recognition. Musket was retiring so they didn't care to see him if he wasn't apart of the team.

End of Chapter 4. Yeah, I know, it's boring and uneventful. But hey, it's continuing the story!

Chapter 5- Magnet Town

The ferry arrived at a dock near Magnet Beach. It was just a short walk away from the middle-sized bustling town which featured one of the country's best indoor soccer teams. "It'll be great to see my future teammates," James said. "What do you mean by that?" Toon asked. "We're going to Magnet Town and they have a professional indoor soccer team I'm going to be on next season. That is, if they draft me in December," James explained. "Don't worry, James. They'll draft you. And when they do, we'll watch you every week," Papersak said. "Yeah, I can't wait till February either. Since that's when the Preseason starts," PichuPal added. "I have no interest for sports," Glagnar replied. Finally, they made it to the beach's end and a small little area between the town and beach. They could see Magnet Stadium they entire time they were on the beach. It stuck out very well, especially from a distance. They arrived in town and decided to go to Magnets Stadium to see if the team was there. Once there, they saw a list posted on the doors and a note. The list had all the league's players, including their number, that were retiring and would not be in the 2005 season. One of the names was specifically highlighted and had a frowny face drawn next to it. The name was #14, Musket. The other names were not highlighted, but were just blank. Next to each player's name and number was the team they once played for. The list was ordered by team and read as follows:

AC- #13 Jeffry Crell BBV- #34 Gary Billinski CT- #50 John Georges Dimm- #98 Vic McPop DTD- #14 Dan Erold FI- #57 Sammy Duncety #86 Anthony Nobrady Geek- #69 Homer Pillington MT- #14 Musket RR- #4 Luke Alma SC- #73 Koby Redd Sak- #10 Bob Nacel Sale- #93 Andy Gelder #4 Oliver Smackerman

"This is very helpful," PichuPal said, after he finished reading. "Now, let's see what this note's all about." He then read the note posted next to it aloud. "The Magnet Town Magnets are the XISL 2004 Champions! They would like to thank the fans for all their support last season and would like to pay them back by holding open practices! That's right, folks. The Magnets are opening their doors to fans every practice they have next season! If the door is open, that might mean there's a practice or somebody left it open. The team hopes you'll continue to cheer them on in 2005 when the new season kicks back up! And don't forget about the Preseason in February of 2005! The Magnets." "Aw, how sweet," Papersak said. "Quick, check to see if the door's open!" James shouted. PichuPal pulled on the door, but it didn't open. "It must be locked," he said. "Or your just a weakling! Move it!" James shouted as he made his way to the door. He grabbed the handle and pulled hard, but the door did not open. The door was indeed locked. "Darn, there must not be a practice right now," James said sadly. "Psst, James," whispered somebody. James turned quickly to face where he heard the voice. He saw a black hand that appeared to have no fingers. He walked over and went behind the building. He jumped back when he saw who it was. It was the Magnets! "Yo, James. What's up?" said Magneto. "Dude! Not much, man," James replied enthusiastically. Blizz walked up wearing her goalie gloves. "So, James. You ready for an unscheduled practice?" she asked. "Whatever you mean by that, of course I'm ready!" James answered. "We mean, a practice coach didn't schedule for us," Crazydude said as he walked up wearing a practice uniform. "We thought you guys would come so we've been waiting. We posted those things once Musket and the others announced their retirement. So, you and the guys ready for a little soccer?" Magneto asked. "I'll go ask them. Be right back!" James replied as he ran off to get the others. "Hey, James. What's up?" PichuPal asked. "You guys wanna play some indoor soccer?" James asked. "Sure, but, who and where will we play?" PichuPal responded. "Follow me guys," James said as he led them to wear the Magnets were. They said hello and stuff, then followed the team as they led them to the team entrance. Once inside, Magneto went and unlocked the entrances so people could come in and watch. Everyone else changed into their soccer uniforms. PichuPal, Papersak, Toon, and Glagnar put on the away uniforms belonging to the Magnets. The Magnets put on their home uniforms. Papersak put on Blizz's alternate goalie shirt taht she used every now and then and her spare gloves. PichuPal put on Magneto's shirt, Toon got Musket's old away uniform, and Glagnar got Crazydude's shirt. James put on Musket's old home uniform. The Pichu's dressed in all the away stuff and the Magnets' dressed in all home. Magneto got a ball out of the storage type place and set the clock to 35 minutes, just for the others who didn't play. Then, once every one was in position and ready, they got ready to begin. "Good luck, guys," Magneto said. "Thanks, you too," PichuPal replied.

End of Chapter 5.

Chapter 6- The Magnets vs. The Pichus

Magneto whistled to start the match and hit the button that started the clock. Toon kicked the ball to Glagnar to start the match. To save reading time, and because I'm lazy, let's skip forward to the half. It's halftime now and the score is in favor of the Magnets. It's 2-1 and people have arrived. About 100 people arrived during the course of the first half. In the first half, James scored the first goal in the 13th minute of the match. Toon got the equalizer in the 24th minute. Finally, Magneto took back the lead in the 27th minute to close up the scoring for the half. Many hits were thrown and some were very fierce. But, they both didn't hit too hard as they didn't want to injure each other. In the locker rooms, the two teams leaders talked briefly with them. "We aren't playing too badly. But, we need to strengthen our attack. Blizz is a tough goalie to crack," PichuPal explained. "We can maybe beat the team if we can get by Blizz. Just shoot from anywhere you can, okay?" The team nodded, then all put there hands in and shouted at the count of 3, "Pichus!" While in the other locker room, Magneto was talking with his team. They did the same thing when he finished talking, except shouted out "Magnets!" Then, the players ran down the tunnel to the benches, got back on the field and waited for Magneto to start them back up. The fans there cheered as they took the field. The game was about to resume.

Chapter 6 cont.

The players are back on the field, more fans are in the stands, and the goalies are set. Magneto whistles to start the second half. He kicks it over to his right for James. James settles the ball and charges down the field along the boards. He knew Glagnar could never take him down without tripping him. And Glagnar didn't really have legs, so a slide tackle wouldn't work very well. Papersak watched the ball come closer to her. She glanced over to the other side of the net and saw Crazydude in his white Magnets uniform getting ready for a cross. "PichuPal! Get on your man!" she called out. PichuPal dashed down the field to guard Crazydude. James got close to the net and sent a shot flying towards goal. Papersak didn't even have to move to stop it and just knocked it down. She booted it down the field off the boards to her right. PichuPal and Crazydude both made a sprint for it. PichuPal got it first and immeadiately booted it along the boards into Magnets territory before getting slammed into the boards, shaking the glass a little. The ball rolled around the boards until it was in the penalty area. Blizz scooped it up and looked downfield for the open man. She tossed it out to Magneto he settled the ball and charged upfield. Toon was right on him and was determined to get the ball from him. Magneto passed the ball to James, however, and then ran off. "Glagnar! Take Magneto! I'll take James!" Toon called out. Glagnar nodded and ran off to get Magneto. Toon charged at James as fast as he could. But, he wasn't quite fast enough and James got away from him. James reared his leg back and booted the ball towards goal. Papersak executed a great dive towards it and just got enough of it to knock it away. The fans applauded the save. The ball went into the boards near the goal and rolled around them. Finally, PichuPal ran up and got it. He quickly kicked ahead to Glagnar near midfield. Glagnar settled the ball and made his way down the field. He blasted a shot from near the top of the circle which served as a box. Blizz dove at it and barely missed the ball by a couple of inches. The ball sailed past her and into the back of the net. The stadium erupted with cheers from some people in the stands. The score was now 2-2. The Pichus celebrated the goal happily. "Nice shot, Glagnar!" PichuPal said while patting his teammate on the back. "Yeah, man. That was awesome," Toon also congratulated. "Um, thanks, I guess," Glagnar thanked. The 3 got back into position for the kick-off. "Way to go, Glagnar!" Papersak called from her goal.

The second half continued with more hits and 2 more goals. With 5 minutes to go, the score was 3-3 and the fans were really excited now. After the last goal, Magneto crossed it perfectly to Crazydude, who volleyed the serve into the back of the goal. And with just 8 minutes to go, Toon scored again with a great shot off a rebound. It was the last 4 minutes now and many big hits were being thrown. If the clock ran out, the game would end in a 3-3 tie, as there was no extratime or overtime. Just 1 minute to go and the fans were all on their feet, anxious to see a hero stand up and win it for his team. Just 30 seconds and James had the ball deep in Pichus' territory. Papersak looked nervous, as did her teammates. She didn't want to mess it up this late and her team was afraid she would. 20 seconnds to go and James rockets a shot headed for the top left corner of the goal. Papersak leaps up for it and barely gets a hand on it and knocks it over the goal and into the glass above. She lands on the ground on her chest as the ball comes back down just outside the circle: Right where Crazydude is positioned. He kicks the ball and sends it over the downed keeper and into the net. Papersak tried to get up to stop the shot, but couldn't get to it. The fans all jumped up and cheered. Crazydude and his teammates celebrated the great goal off the rebound. It was now 4-3 woth just 00:18 on the clock! "Sorry guys," Papersak apologized to her teammates. "It's okay. There was nothing you could've done about the rebound," PichuPal said. Then, they ran back into position. They kicked it off and tried to move it downfield quickly so they could maybe score. Toon had the ball and got drilled into the boards by James. James took the ball down field. Only 11 seconds remained now. He took it into the box where Papersak pounced on it. Just 7 seconds as she launched the ball past midfield to Glagnar, who settled the ball. Only 4 seconds and PichuPal was wide open down the field. Glagnar booted it to him. PichuPal got it outside the box with only 1 second on the clock. He had to score to tie it and Blizz knew it. The fans were all standing up, excited to see what might happen. PichuPal booted it right before the clock ran out. Blizz made a dive for it and smacked it away. The ball missed the net and the fans cheered. The Magnets had won, 4-3! They went back to the locker rooms and changed, then met up outside the stadium. "You guys did a great job in there," Magneto said. "Yeah, I was surprised at how many great shots you guys took," Blizz added. "Well, you guys were awesome, too," Toon said. "I was really surprised." Magneto walked up to James, who was standing off to the side. "You did awesome out there, James. I really hope our team drafts you," Magneto said. James looked at him and smiled. "Thanks. I really hope to get drafted. That was the most fun I've had in a while," he replied. "Well, I guess we'd best be going. Later guys, and thanks for the scrimmage," PichuPal said. They said all their good-byes as PichuPal and company left Magnet Town.

End of Chapter 6. Finally, no more soccer.
