(A/N): I'll try to improve my Ed Edd N Eddy humor from now on! I was just focusing more on anime topics I forgot this was an Ed Edd N Eddy adventure. My bad. Anyways, here we go!
Chapter 14: Ed, Get the Camera!
We welcome our heroes to Goldenrod City, a place near Peachcreek which Oak assumed, either that or everyone's ruckus was too loud to hear from the interior of the radio tower. Everyone had gotten the latest news about the Cul De Sac Kids. How, you may ask? Well...
"And believe me, if a scam worked as well, there may be others who'd use a scam just like it." said Professor Oak as he and a few radio members laughed.
"My, my, Samson." Mary wipes a tear from her eyes. "Who knew Three Boys were enough to make a huge ruckus?" She then starts making an impression. "Oi, Double D! Make an invention that'll get us lots of Jawbreakers which costs nothing less than a Nickel!"
DJ Ben starts making a fun impression of Ed. "Ahaha! Ahaha! Good one, Double D!"
The group laughed even more.
"Oh dear," Oak looked at the time. "I believe our time is up. Let's wrap it up!"
"Alright, then!" Mary announced. "Special reports on this day's National Park in Johto is the new species of bugs flocking in from all regions! From Wimpod, to Sewaddle, to Sizzlepede, the National Park has ALL your bug needs! And right now, it even comes with a Bugsy's Bug Shack for all your Bug Pokémon needs!"
"Alright! That's all for now! See you all next time on Professor Oak's Talk Show!" The radio returns to music in Kevin's Pokegear.
"Who knew all our adventures with the Eds was that much known by that old dude?" asked Kevin.
"They got the impressions all wrong!" Sarah stated. "Ed's should been like 'Oh! Gravy and Monster Comics! I take gravy everywhere I go!' or Eddy should've been like 'Oh I'm the mastermind behind all of the failing scams that can hardly earn a dollar!'"
"Yeah!" said Rolf. "But they did got a perfect impression of the Double Ed Boy!"
"Who knew Mary can talk nerd?" Marie asked as everyone but the Eds burst into laughter.
"So." Said Eddy. "I defeated Roxanne, Unibrow defeated BOTH Water type Gym Ladies, so that means Sockhead gets the next one."
"Alright!" Said Edd as he gets the Pokeball for Decidueye.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Sarah pouted. "How come HE gets the next gym and not me?!"
"You know, Rolf would like to battle a Gym Leader!" Rolf said otherwise.
"You know, this adventure was just for me, Double D and Ed! Why did you even come with us anyways?!" Asked Eddy. "Matter a fact, who's watching the Cul De Sac?!"
Back into the Cul De Sac, the parents moved out and decided to sell the houses to the people who wanted to be in the footsteps in the Cul De Sac kids. The rent was higher and every item the Cul De Sac Kids had was auctioned for a high price.
*Insert "La Cucaracha" Truck Horn sound effect*
Suddenly, Whitney, the Goldenrod City Gym Leader, bumps into Ed with her bike. Whitney breaks her bike, but Ed just stood there, tall and stong as a tree.
"Hey!" Shouted the Gym Leader. "Watch where you're going!"
"Sorry." Replied Ed.
Edd starts recognizing the Gym Leader. "Wait, aren't you-"
Suddenly, the Cul De Sac Kids ran over Edd, charged to Whitney, and then surrounded her.
"Hey! Whitney! I challenge you for your Badge!" Shouted Kevin.
"No way!" Shouted Sarah. "I challenge you for your badge!"
"I'll easily defeat you, so hand over your badge!" Lee held her hand out. Suddenly-
"Slurpuff! Moonblast!" Shouted a Man. His Slurpuff blasts a beam of light to the center to scatter everyone.
"My love!" Whitney gets up and ran to the man.
"HER LOVE?!" Shouted the Cul De Sac.
"You childish fools DARE hurt my Whitney over a badge?! You should be ashamed of yourselves!" shouted a man.
"You tell them, love!" Whitney cheered.
"Which one of you is the leader?!" Shouted the Man with a roar of a Male Pyroar. The group moved until there was no one but Edd. "YOU! I challenge you to an official gym match! I shall take you on in the Goldenrod Gym! If you win, you get the Heart Badge! If I win, you and ypur team MUST GIVE UP your trainer ways!"
The group gasped.
"No way!" Kevin shouts. "You can't do that?!"
"I can always call Officer Jenny to report harassment!" Said the Man.
"Oh Vinny!" Whitney said while charmed.
Kevin growled.
"Sir?" Edd replied through his shaky legs. "I don't want to alarm you, but we're here to complete the Johnololan Connection Project! And I do not dear fail this mission on behalf of my professional companions or my powerful companions as well! So I WILL accept your threat for a-"
"JUST GET ON WITH IT, DOUBLE D!" Eddy shouted.
Vinny looked puzzled as if he hasn't caught anything Edd said.
"So... I, on behalf of the Cul De Sac, accept your challenge!" Edd held out his hand with confidence and bravery.
Vinny grins with a hardy look as he shakes Edd's hand, however, it crushed Edd's entire hand.
"I like your confidence young man! Meet me in the Goldenrod City Gym!" Shouted Vinny as he carried Whitney in his arms to the Gym.
Edd held his crushed hand.
"Welp. Good luck, dork..." Said Kevin as he shook his head. "Your funeral."
Edd looked at everyone in his team, the kids looked at Double D with a look that says "You will be missed" while Ed made a Tombstone that said "Here lies Dubble Dee."
Double D gulped and wipes sweat off his brow, but then looked at his Pokémon, they looked prepared. Eddy then looked at his Pokémon, as they wanted to support Double D as they can tell something's going to go wrong in the battle. Ed's Pokémon replied with the same look, until Double D stood up, dusted himself and marched forward.
"That's it?!" Eddy asked.
"I have a feeling this is not going to go well, Sarah." Jimmy told Sarah.
It took a second for Sarah to understand it. She nods at Jimmy.
The Cul De Sac marched on forward to the Goldenrod City Gym, however, it was a big sized gym like in Galar region.
The place looked dark and was over run with Flower Crates.
Lee and Jimmy took a big breath of fresh flowers.
Jonny looked at Plank as Plank was not amused of high amount of water poured into the dispensers. Suddenly, a little girl with Pink hair appeared.
"Hello, welcome to my family's gym!" She greeted.
"Alright! Little dweeb!" Eddy tried intimidating the girl. "Were are the Gym Leaders?!"
"Right here!" Shouted Vinny. "As my Gym Rules go. Only ONE Pokémon goes for every trainer!"
Eddy's Prinplup shouts as a warning, so did Ed's Quilava.
"DOUBLE D! It's a Trap!" Shouted Eddy.
(Dangerous Pokémon Battle engaged!)
(Ost: Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy 3- Dr Neo Cortex Battle)
(Whitney Family wants to battle!)
(Vinny sent out Slurpuff! Whitney sent out Clefairy! Pearl sent out Igglypuff!)
(Edd sent out Hatenna!)
"A Fairy Type? A worthy choice..." Stated Vinny.
"Let's Pulverize him!" Shouted Whitney.
"Let's go! Momma! Daddy! Family Teamwork!" Pearl cheered.
"Oh no, you don't!" Eddy and Ed joined the battle! "Toxel! Let's get em!"
"Whirlipede! Let's crush these villains!" Ed ordered.
"Villains?! You're the villains!" Shouted Pearl.
"No matter! When my family are done with you, your friends are next as well!" Shouted Vinny.
"Whirlipede! Sludge Wheel on Slurpuff!" shouted Ed.
"Toxel! Battery Spit on Igglypuff!" Shouted Eddy.
(Slurpuff 23%
Igglypuff 10%)
Edd stood silent and scared to move.
The two poisonous Pokémon did their dirty deeds to the Fairy types and got them with a big pinch of poison.
"Clefairy! Metronome!" Shouted Whitney.
(Clefairy used Meteor Mash on Hatenna!)
(Hatenna 0% KO)
"Re - Return..." said Double D said sadly.
"C'mon, Double D!" Shouted Eddy. "To battle!"
"I... I..." Edd mumbled.
"Try this, Unibrow!" Shouted Vince. "Slurfpuff! Pie Toss!"
Slurpuff spat a ball of cream onto Whirlipede! Not very effective however..
(Whirlipede 78%)
(Whirlipede's Accuracy Harshly Fell!)
"Oh and new rule: Any Pokémon that misses once are unable to battle!" Shouted Pearl.
(New Rule engaged!)
"Oh yeah! Whirlipede! Rollout!" Shouted Ed. Whirlipede rolled on but he missed. The Gym's buzzer sounded as Whirlipede was forced to return.
Pearl laughed.
"That's my girl!" Vinny told proudly.
Edd suddenly sighs and gets back into action, and brings out his caught Disaster Pokémon from the last few adventures.
"Ariados! Let's get them!" Edd commanded.
"Wait! Is that the Spider from the underground sewers?!" asked Kevin.
"Ariados! Poison Jab at Clefairy!" Edd commanded.
Ariados pecks at Clefairy with her legs and hurts Clefairy. It's super effective!
(Clefairy 0%)
"Clefairy! Return!" Whitney recalled her Pokémon. "Down to my last Pokémon... Well now! I'm not giving up! Miltank! I choose you!"
Out comes a cow Pokémon with utters. Rolf was amazed of this Pokémon despite the fact he has one at home.
"You know, Rolf has a Miltank at home!" said Rolf, amazed.
"Good to know, dork!" said Kevin, sarcastically.
"Ariados! Attack Slurpuff with Poison Jab again!" Double D commanded.
Ariados repeatedly attacks Slurpuff with poisonous legs.
(Slurpuff 0%)
"Slurpuff! Return!" Vinny recalled. "Go Aromatisse!" Out comes a fluffy nosey Pokémon.
"Thwackey! Let's go!" Shouted Ed.
"Toxel! Return!" Shouted Eddy. "Scorbunny! Let's see what you're made of!"
Out comes a fire bunny Pokémon.
"Come back! Ariados!" shouted Double D. "Come on out, Sobble!"
Sobble came out with a little worry. But Suddenly, Edd removed what Scorbunny and Sobble were holding. Two Everstones.
And then, the two Galarian starters evolved!
(Sobble evolved into Drizzile and Scorbunny evolved into Raboot!)
"What?! You can't evolve in mid battle!" shouted Vinny.
"They didn't do it on their own!" Edd revealed his Arcane Core. The light was gone as the energy was used.
"Scorbunny, I mean, Raboot! Ember on Igglypuff!" Eddy commanded. Raboot blasted a punch of fire which dropped the last of HP Igglypuff held onto.
"Igglypuff! Return!" Shouted Pearl! "Clefa! I choose you!"
(Sudden Death!)
(Ost: SwSh Gym Leader Battle!)
Whitney used the Dynamax power to grow her Miltank into a bigger one.
"Try this one for size, you freaks!" Whitney cheered.
The Cul De Sac Kids ran away from the battle to get away from the big Pokémon's way.
"No way!" Eddy shouted.
"Eddy! We have two Arcane Cores left!" Double D reminded Eddy. "All we have to do is use them wisely!"
(Crowd cheers!)
(The Arcane Core lit up!)
"Mini Pledge!" The Eds commanded. Raboot, Drizzile, and Thwackey combined forces to battle and blasted an elemental blast to... Aromatisse!
(Aromatisse 0%)
"WHAT THE?! NO!" Vinny recalled his last Pokémon.
"Raboot! Ember at Clefa!" Eddy commanded.
"Drizzile! Water Gun to Clefa as well!" Double D commanded.
Both Pokémon attacked Clefa with hard attacks.
(Clefa 0%)
"Clefa! Return!" Pearl said with defeat. "Go get them, Momma!"
"Thwackey! Drum Kick!" Ed ordered as Thwackey smacked Milktank with a hard bass kick with a stick.
(Miltank 189%)
"Miltank! Max Strike!" Whitney ordered. "Hit all of them with every strike possible!"
"Wait! What?!" Marie looked in her rule book.
"No! That's cheating!" Edd said with a worried look.
Miltank wasted all three moves on each Galarian starter.
(Drizzile and Thwackey fainted!)
"Your limit is up! I win!" Whitney jumped for joy.
(!)
"Not done yet!" Replied Eddy.
(Raboot held onto with Focus Sash!)
"Now Raboot! Double Kick!" Eddy commanded.
"WHAT?! NO!" Whitney got scared.
Raboot charged at Miltank who shrunk in battle. But suddenly, the arcane core lit up.
"Double Blaze Kick!" Eddy ordered.
(Double Kick + Fire = Double Blaze Kick: Fire/Fighting: A move that kicks twice and may leave a burn!)
Miltank took two hits and caught on fire. The rest of the burn damage ate the last of Miltank's HP.
(Miltank fainted!)
"Miltank return..." Whitney recalled sadly.
(Team Eds won!)
"Grrr..." Vinny crossed his arms.
"Oh no..." Pearl looked at her mom
"Wha.. WAH! WAH! *Sniffle* *Hiccup* YOU MEANIE!" Whitney cried.
(Reward: $20, 4000 EXP)
"YOU MONSTERS!" Shouted Vinny as he hugs Whitney.
"We?! Monsters?!" Eddy responded. "If anything, you're the monsters! You tried to take down Double D with an unfair match!"
"I don't like unfair!" Ed commented.
"If you do not like to play fair, you might as well jot call yourselves Gym Leaders!" Nazz put her hands on her hips.
The rest of the Cul De Sac kids stared at Vinny, Whitney and Pearl with a frown.
Vinny looked at his family and then at the Cul De Sac Kids.
"What have I done?" Asked Whitney. "I - I'm sorry. I was just living well as a family, I forgot I was a Gym Leader. I'm sorry if I got my family involved in this."
"No honey... It's my fault.." Replied Vinny. "I shouldn't have threatened you trainers."
"Here. The Heart Badge." Pearl handed a badge shaped like a pink heart.
(Obtained the Heart Badge!)
"Thank you." Replied Edd.
"And thank you for teaching us." Whitney replied. "But I have a family to take care of."
"Thank you." Replied the Cul De Sac Kids.
(The very next day...)
(Ost: Quirky Dog - Kevin MacLeod)
"As our favorite Normal Type Gym Leader of Johto leaves the Official District and moves on with her life, Pearl is now the official Gym Leader!" Said Mary. "But hete we have is the entire family on the Cul De Sac Kids!"
"You know, what was even the POINT of the scams?!" asked Professor Oak.
"Well, they said to get these." Whitney oppened a box of large candies.
"Ooh! What are these delights?" Asked Mary.
"They call them Jawbreakers." replied Vinny.
"All this for a 5 cent candies?!" Oak took a piece of Jawbreakers and tried stuffing the giant piece of candy in his cheek. "You know. these aren't that bad. The flavors, the long lasting taste in your mouth! The thing is I can't chew them or otherwise I'll break my jaw!"
"Well, that's one way to say, just enjoy the candy." Sakd DJ Ben as he took a Jawbreaker and puts it in his mouth.
"Well, where are the Peach Creek kids now, you may ask?" Asked Oak. "They may as well be to the Magnet Train to the next city. Nutria city!"
Soon enough, Goldenrod started selling Jawbreakers galore to the kids who wanted to be just like a Peach Creek Kid. Even a small amount of kids tried scamming, but a few tried to become smart or dumb as Double D and Ed.
The trend goes on as our heroes meet city to city. Who knows who'll they meet along their way?
(Question: Who from the Cul De Sac Kids, other than Ed Edd or Eddy, should battle the next Gym Leader? You decide!)
