Back at the Cul-De-Sac
As the Eds left the Valley Windworks, they talked about what they just went through.
"Gentlemen. We should be cautious from this point forward. We don't know when we'll encounter those Team Galactic people again." said Edd.
"Don't worry, Double-D. We can handle those guys." said Eddy.
"But we should still be ready if we do run into them again. We should definitely train our Pokemon more, as well as add to our teams." suggested Edd.
"Yeah, we do need more Pokemon for our teams. We still have the Sinnoh League to focus on." said Eddy. Just then, Ed spotted something in the nearby tall grass.
"Hey, guys. What's that?" asked Ed. Edd and Eddy looked to see an orange, weasel looking pokemon with blue fins on its forearms, two tails, and a yellow ring around its neck.
"Is that a Pokemon?" asked Eddy. Edd pulls out the pokedex and points it at the Pokemon.
"Buizel, The Sea Weasel Pokemon. When air fills the flotation sac on its neck, it acts like an inner tube. This Pokemon floats with its head out of the water." said the pokedex.
"The pokedex says that Buizel is a water type Pokemon." said Edd.
"I don't have a water type on my team. Maybe I'll try capturing this one." said Eddy.
"This would be a good opportunity to try out your Net Balls, Eddy. That store clerk says they're very effective at catching water Pokemon." suggested Edd.
"Good idea. Okay, Zubat. Come on out." said Eddy as he throws Zubat's pokeball, releasing him.
"Zubat." says Zubat. Suddenly, Buizel quickly moves forward and slams into Zubat.
"Eddy. That Buizel must know Quick Attack." said Edd.
"Oh, you wanna play rough, huh? Zubat, use Absorb." said Eddy. Zubat hits Buizel with Absorb and it does super effective damage and restore Zubat's health. Eddy quickly grabs a Net Ball and throws it at Buizel, hitting it and sucking it in. The Net Ball shakes a few times until it clicks, indicating a successful capture. Eddy runs up and grabs the Net Ball. "Oh, yeah. That's how you do it."
"Congratulations, Eddy. A new Pokemon for your team. Let me see what moves and ability it has." says Edd as he pulls out the pokedex. "The pokedex says it knows Tackle, Growl, Tail Whip, and of course, Quick Attack. It's ability is Swift Swim, which increases its speed when it's raining."
"Okay, then. Let's go to the Pokemon Center and get our Pokemon healed before we continue on our way." said Eddy.
"An excellent idea. They must be tired after our battles with Team Galactic today." said Edd.
"Guys. Can we also get something to eat? I'm hungry." said Ed.
"Good idea, Ed. I'm also feeling a bit peckish." said Edd.
"Me, too. Let's go." said Eddy. As they headed back to Floaroma Town, Edd was deep in thought. "What's with you, sockhead?" Eddy asked.
"I'm just thinking about how much we've already been through since we left the Cul-De-Sac." said Edd.
"Speaking of the Cul-De-Sac; do you think the other kids are still looking for us?" asked Eddy.
"I'm not sure, Eddy. It's been about a week since we've been gone. I'm sure they had time to get over our prank." said Edd.
"Whatever. Anyway, let's not waste our time thinking about that. Let's just get to Floaroma Town." said Eddy as they continued on their way. Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away back in the Cul-De-Sac, things were getting a little crazy. Ever since the Eds suddenly disappeared, the kids were happy, thinking that the Eds were gone for good. At first, that was the case; but as the days went by, they started to get worried. Things got more scary when the Eds' parents contacted the Peach Creek Police Department. The police interrogated them for information. They admitted to chasing them with the intent to beat them up for pranking them, but they had no idea where they might have went off to. A couple days later at Kevin's house, the kids were talking about the most recent events.
"Okay, guys. Things are getting very intense around here since those dorks have been gone." said Kevin.
"I'll say. The police spent about an hour talking to me about the Eds. But I told them I didn't know anything other than helping chase them." said Jonny.
"Me, too. My mom and dad are starting to get very worried. They started thinking I did something to my stupid brother and his friends." said Sarah.
"Gee. I hope nothing terrible happened to them." said Nazz.
"I'm scared." said Jimmy.
"What are we going to do?" asked Jonny.
"We just got to keep looking for those dorks until we find them. Maybe when we do, things can get back to normal around here...after we pound them." said Kevin.
"But we've searched everywhere, even that van in the junkyard where they hang out sometimes." said Nazz.
"Wilfred has been trying to find their scent to track, but still no sign of the Ed boys." said Rolf.
"Well we'll just have to search every inch of Peach Creek. Ask anyone if they've seen them anywhere." said Kevin.
"I just hope they're okay." said Nazz.
"I hope things don't get any worse for us." said Jimmy. As the week went by since the Eds left, the police started intensfying their search. Things got more insane when the Eds' disappearance made the local news. Sometime after that, things got scarier when something scarier than even the police in the kids' opinions, got involved...The Kanker Sisters. When they heard that their 'boyfriends' disappeared, they started really freaking out; more than that time when their ship in a bottle was inadvertantly taken by Ed. They did their own investigation, and by that, we mean they subdued every kid in the area they could find and tortured them until they told them something. They soon found a kid in the area who told them how he saw the Cul-De-Sac kids chasing them. They let the kid go with only a super atomic wedgie. An hour later in the trailer park where the Kankers live, they have Jonny tied to a post.
"Okay, baldy! A kid told us that our boyfriends were last seen being chased by you and your friends, so you better start talking. WHERE...ARE...OUR...BOYFRIENDS?!" asked Lee Kanker, who leaned in closer to Jonny with her teeth clenched as Jonny struggled to get free.
"I don't know where they are! I swear!" yelled Jonny as sweat poured down his face.
"Not gonna talk, huh? Well we have ways of getting what we want." said Lee. "May!"
"Yeah, Lee?" replied May Kanker.
"Get the other one!" said Lee.
"Okay." May said gleefully as she ran into their trailer. A minute later, she comes out with Jonny's closest friend, Plank.
"NOOOO! Let Plank go, you meanies!" said Jonny. Lee takes Plank from May's hands and holds him out in front of her.
"Let's see if this will get you to talk. Marie!" yelled Lee.
"Yeah, Lee?" replied Marie Kanker.
"Turn on the belt sander!" said Lee. A huge grin appeared on Marie's face and she runs over to a belt sander that was sitting on a table near their trailer and turns it on.
"What are you going to do to Plank?!" asked Jonny.
"Whatever it takes to get answers." said Lee. She takes Plank and pushes the back of him onto the belt, spraying sawdust off to one side.
"NO! STOP!" Jonny says. Lee turns Plank around and points his face towards the belt sander, then looks squarely at Jonny.
"Last chance to tell us something before I sand your friend's face off. Where are our boyfriends?!" said Lee as she starts lowering Plank closer to the belt sander.
"We don't know! All I know is that we chased them to a fenced-off area with a lot of big crates in it. We figured they hid there until we left. We don't know what happened to them after we chased them, we swear!" said Jonny with tears in his eyes. Lee tells Marie to turn off the belt sander. Lee then looks closely at Jonny's face. Not seeing any sign of deception, she backs off.
"Okay. I don't think you're lying. But just so you know, if we find out that you and your friend there do know something, your little buddy there is sawdust." said Lee. She unties Jonny, pulls his underwear over his head, and kicks him in the butt as he grabs Plank and runs away.
"So what now, Lee?" asked Marie.
"I want my big Ed!" cried May.
"Don't worry. We'll find them. We have a bunch of other kids we can 'have fun' with." said Lee and she and her sisters laughed maniacally as they headed back towards the Cul-De-Sac.
