"Finally, I thought for sure that rock pathway was going to fall apart and kill us!" Said Gary. He and Brock along with Ashly, who was being carried by Gary, had made it to saffron.
"I wonder how Sabrina is doing since we freed her" she wondered in their heads.
"I don't know but I just hope there aren't any creepy dolls this... aww fudge nuggets" Brock groaned once they saw Sabrina's doll in front of them.
(Music: the moon stone)
"Hehe, welcome back friends, I can lead you right to the toy box if you want" the doll laughed.
"No way! This time, we're ready for your tricks" shouted Ashly. She leapt out of Gary's arms and returned to human form.
"Um, who are you yelling at?" A boy asked her.
"That little doll!" Ashly told him..
She looked to see doll had disappeared.
"There's no one here" the doll's voice said in their heads.
"But I just saw some….what is going on?!" She yelled. She had looked back to where the boy was standing and saw no one there.
"Maybe someone is over there in that display window?" The boy's voice asked.
Ashly turned and saw a shop window display where the doll was now standing.
"He's not over here, we're over there" the boy's voice taunted.
Gary and Ashly looked up at a balcony and saw the boy was now up there with the doll.
They turned back to see the boy was also in the display window.
"But if you're there and there...GAAAAHHHHHHHH" screamed Ashly while bashing her head into the side of the saffron city entryway arch several times, creating a large dent in it
"I think I've played enough for now…follow me" the girl and boy laughed together as they vanished and a blue glow formed around Ashly, Gary, and Brock before they seemed to disappear.
(End music)
They reappeared in front of Sabrina's gym.
"One thing just occurred to me….how are we…and by we…I mean you…. and by you I mean Gary and Ashly…. going to take on psychic types if we don't have a ghost type?" Brock asked.
"Well I guess we can turn back now..OH COME ON" Gary shouted upon realizing that they were inside of the arena.
"Welcome back, Brock, Ashly" Sabrina said while she floated to her side of the field.
Ashly's eyes dilated as images of last time flashed through her mind. "Ok, wait just a second here. I didn't even issue a challenge yet! We have no way to beat your Pokemon, nor did we even try, so no toy trauma this time!"
"I know that. And I put the toy box in the basement. I was just going to offer to send you back to lavender town" replied Sabrina.
Gary looked confused. "Um, thanks…"
They all glowed blue and disappeared again, this time reappearing in lavender town.
Ashly looked around and grinned "Now, to catch a ghost Pokemon" she declared.
"Or we could find one to teach Serena some dark type moves" said Brock.
Gary turned to him and smiled confidently. "Oh yeah….she would be good against psychic types, wouldn't she?"
"I guess we should go to the tower anyways then" Ashly sighed.
(Music: creeping shadow)
"I wonder if those other ghost Pokemon are still here" she mused while they were walking into the Pokemon tower. She changed to her Pokemon form and lit the place up using her diamond.
"I don't know, but it seems like this stuff was moved around recently though" Gary replied. He pointed to a Chinaware cabinet which had several skid marks in a trail from one side of the room to another.
"Imagine what lost knowledge is in these books too!" He said while pulling a dusty one off of a bookcase and opening it. He frowned though as the pages all turned to dust as he did this and fell into a pile on the floor at his feet.
"I could have warned you that those books aren't in any condition to read" Ashly laughed.
He looked at her for a minute. "Wh-why are you looking at me like that Gary?" She asked nervously.
"You can go back in time and get some of these books, then bring them back here so I can read them before returning them to the exact time you took them!" He exclaimed.
"No I'm not, because then I'll probably meet myself when I go to return the books and you know that won't end well for any of us" she replied telepathically as she led them down a hall.
Next, they walked into a dining room. "Hello? Anyone here?!" Ashly called.
"Gary, don't pull that!" Brock gasped when he saw Gary reaching for a streamer ball.
He pulled it and a banner saying 'welcome back!' As well as some streamers fell out. Then everything in the room began to turn into a whirlwind of activity just as it had the last time.
(Music: scramble)
One of the dinner platters scooped Ashly up before a cover trapped her inside, a few chairs lifted up Gary and Brock, and began to fly around the room. Plates were hurled at walls and a a few balled up paper napkins got stuffed until Gary's mouth, meanwhile a few forks and knives began to target his balls.
(Pause music)
*static*
Gary: WHY MY BALLS?! CANT THEY TARGET SOMETHING ELSE?! Now how am I going to breed Ashly?!
Ashly: EXCUSE ME?!
Gary: no I mean I was going to use Dialga for that, and you need a big pair to train him!
Pikachu: THEY MEANT POKEBALLS….. I'm surrounded by morons…..
Brock's Geodude: *puts one arm around Pikachu's shoulder and other out in front* Idiots…..idiots everywhere
*static*
(Continue music))
Gary quickly took a metal tray and used it to shield his belt from the possessed utensils. They were deflected and began to fly into walls and some through an air vent.
Loud clanging could be heard from inside the walls, then another vent shot the silverware at brock's belt. He wasn't so lucky and his Geodude got sent out where it impacted Gary's face then his own, knocking them out before everything settled down again.
(End music)
The platter holding Ashly landed on a kitchen counter in front of a Gengar in a chef's hat. He picked up the lid and waved at her.
"Oh hi, can I ask a favor?" She asked before a gravy boat floated over her and covered her in warm turkey gravy. She opened her mouth to yell at it before an apple flew into her mouth and a bunch of vegetables flew into the platter while a bit of string tied her hind legs behind her and her front ones to her sides.
"Mph…mmmmuhmp!" She tried to say.
"Hold on, we're almost ready" the Gengar laughed. A bunch of mashed potatoes covered her so she was hardly visible anymore.
"Let me go!" She relayed to it as another layer of gravy was poured onto her.
"And done" it said as the lid covered her back up.
(We aren't sorry)
"Brock? Wake up!" Gary yelled.
Brock opened his eyes and found he And Gary were in chairs which were pushed all the way in by a strange force so they couldn't escape even though their arms were on top of the table.
"Where's Ashly?!" Brock asked.
Gengar walked out of the kitchen holding a platter, unbeknownst to them, it held her inside.
"Oh, food!" Gary said eagerly as the Gengar laid the tray in front of them and uncovered it.
Brock and Gary began to scoop the mashed potatoes onto their plates and eat them before they heard Ashly calling for help inside their heads.
"Brock, do you hear Ashly?" Gary asked in between mouthfuls. He nodded and took another serving of mashed potatoes off the platter only to uncover something blueish.
He and Gary hurriedly scooped off the rest of the food and saw her looking very pissed off.
"Well it's about time you two found me" she relayed.
"How did you get under there!?" Brock asked.
"Something purple, demented, and with a sick sense of humor knows. I'll let you figure the rest out" she responded while Gary untied her and Brock pulled the apple out of her mouth. She stood up and began to lick herself off. "I will admit though, these are some pretty good potatoes" she said in their heads.
They looked over at the Gengar who was laughing his heart out…metaphorically speaking.
"Ok, what did you do that for?" Gary asked it.
"Gen gar, Gengar, gar" it replied.
brock looked down at Ashly. "Uh, translation?"
"He said because I never came back to visit…I SERIOUSLY THOUGHT BOTH HIM AND YOU TWO WERE GOING TO EAT ME!" She relayed.
"Gar gar, Gengar gen" it said.
She looked at it. "Yeah, so now that you got your laughs, we need your help. Can you teach us some dark type moves? We need help beating Sabrina again."
"Gen gar, gar, gar Gengar!" It answered.
She backed away while shaking her head however it lunged at her and licked her, leaving her looking like she was shivering while unable to move.
"Aaaand now she's paralyzed…." Gary sighed. He took his backpack off and pulled a Parlyz Heal out, then pulled a small plastic tab out of the nozzle and finally sprayed it over her. She slowly began to gain back her full range of movement.
"That wasn't funny…." She relayed to them all.
The Gengar just laughed.
"DOES THIS LOOK LIKE THE FACE OF SOMEONE WHO IS AMUSED TO YOU, BUDDY?!" She yelled in everyone's minds causing Brock and Gary to hold their heads from the force of her telepathy and the Gengar to phase into the floor partly in mock defeat. (Think like in Poken Tournament DX when Gengar loosed a round)
"Hey Gengar, can you teach my team some Dark Type moves now?" Gary asked. It grinned and motioned for them to follow it.
(After meeting an old friend in Pokemon tower, our heroes follow him deeper into his domain. What does he have planned? Stay tuned!)
