Holes, traps, Dawn's clumsiness, oh my! While these things are extremely dangerous, nothing could possibly compare to this next horror.
#17: Humiliation by Barney The Purple Dinosaur
Paul was walking through a small urban neighborhood within Sinnoh, when he stops to take a breather as he was nearing the city's Pokemon Stadium.
As you would expect, the omnipresent Team Rocket trio are waiting for their next opportunity to jump him and steal his Pokemon. Their choice of hiding this time was in a nearby playground next to a preschool.
"You guy's thinking what I'm thinking?" Meowth says to the other two.
"We bum-rush that twerp and high-tail it out of here with his Pokeballs?" James answers.
"Precisely!" Meowth responds.
"So let's get a move on, shall we?" Jessie says to them.
As the trio was about to make their move, a large, purple dinosaur appears behind them.
"Oh hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Hello boys and girls! Are you ready for some fun?" the dinosaur asks them in a jolly, creepy voice.
The trio spins around and faces the purple dinosaur.
"Who they heck are you?" Jessie inquires, raising an eyebrow at the goody-looking…thing.
"My name is Barney, I'm from your imagination! Are you ready to learn your ABC's and 123's?" Barney asks then in an excited tone.
"Well uh…" James says, at a lost for words.
Even before he could get another word out, Barney scoops up all three Team Rocket members and gives them all a big hug.
"Won't you say you love me too?" Barney asks them, cuddling them as he hauls the helpless trio off into his preschool.
"Gaaaaaah! Let us go! We don't have time for this…!" James yells as he and the others struggled to escape his grasp.
SLAM!
All four of them then disappear inside the preschool as the door slams behind them.
Paul meanwhile finishes his break, and looks around suspiciously.
"…Odd…I was half-expecting those three morons to have at me again…I wonder where they are?" Paul ask to himself, before continuing on his way, unaware of what has happened to Team Rocket.
Today's lesson? Barney has been, still is, and always will be your worst nightmare. Please review and stay tuned to the next!
