Chapter 4

When Charmander, Grimer, SpongeBob, Patrick, and Toadsworth saw some bad cartoons from behind a boulder, Charmander gasped.

"Bad cartoons!" Charmander said. He looked at SpongeBob. "So what's the plan?"

"Two pokemon are going to stall them." SpongeBob told the salamander. "Toadsworth and Pat rally the good cartoons, and I'll find Plankton."

"Ooh, awesome plan!" Then Charmander realized something. "W-wait a minute; Grimer and I are pokemon! You don't mean…"

"Oh I mean." SpongeBob bounced his eyebrows up and down.

"Seriously?" SpongeBob nodded.

"Yup! Really, really!" Charmander gulped.

"But-but, we can't…"

"Charmander." Grimer said, putting his arm around him. "You need to chillax bud."

"Yeah but Grimer…"

"Don't worry Spongy!" Grimer told the sponge. "We can do it." He did the thumbs up. "You can count on us; we won't let you down."

"But-but…"

"Perfect!" SpongeBob said, and then he and the others left.

"Grimer, how could you do that?" Charmander asked. "They may kill us; they're big and we're small and…"

"Relax my pal; we'll be fine."

"But we don't know how to stall them."

"You don't, but I do!" He went to the center.

"Oh great." Charmander said to himself. "What did I do to deserve this?" Charmander then raced after Grimer. "Wait pal; don't leave me here!"

"Attention all evildoers!" Grimer spoke into a mike to get the bad cartoons attention. They all looked at him.

"Oh great." Muttered Bowser. "The grimy blob is going to speak. Okay, we'll listening. This better be good; I got a princess to capture in twenty minutes."

"Uh…"

"Is this gonna take long?" Grounder wanted to know. "I want to play Barbie: Pet Rescue on my PC!"

"Uh…" Grimer sweated while he was thinking.

"Boooo!" The bad cartoons booed. "Booooo, you stink!"

"Grimer." Said Charmander. "They're booing us and they're leaving." Thinking fast, Grimer spoke up.

"Wait!" They stopped. "We all like jokes right Come on of course we do! So, why do cow go online?" The cartoons stood to listen.

"Why?" Vatti wanted to know.

"So they could send instant moooosages!" They all laughed with Grimer and Charmander.

"Good one Grime!" Charmander said.

"Oh please." Grimer told him. "You're too kind. Now, what kind of phone does the ocean have?"

"What?" asked Grounder.

"A shell-phone!" Laughter again. "Ooh, ooh here's one! Where does a turtle go when it's raining? A shelter!" More laughter. "Oh yeah! I'm on fire baby! What do you call a snail on a ship?" Silence. "A snailor!"

"I think I heard that joke before." Grounder said.

"We all heard it." Foop told him.

"Why did the organ go to the hospital? To get an organ donor!"

"You know he's not that funny anymore." Dr D whispered to Escargoon.

"How about this one; its gold! Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side!"

"That's a lame preschool joke." Bufurd said. "That's no longer funny to us."

"Hay." Escargoon told him. "You're not evil; get out of here!"

"I know. I just wanna see these dimwits run for their mommy."

"LET'S GET THEM!" The cartoons got their torches and pitchforks and ran toward the two.

"Uh Grimer?" Charmander said.

"What?" Grimer asked.

"RUN!" They ran away from the bad cartoons.

"Ha!" Scratch laughed. "To get to the other side! Now that's gold!" He cawed with laughter. He then realized that he was all alone. "Hay, wait up guys! Wait!" He ran, trying to find them.

SpongeBob then found Plankton. He was in his throne; fans were breezing on him. He looked relaxed with shades on his one eye.

"Aha; there you are Plankton!" SpongeBob said. The good cartoons gasped as they saw the sponge. Plankton too was shocked as he took of his shades.

"SpongeBob." Plankton said. "What a surprise, I thought you were dead."

"Oh well, SURPRIZE!" SpongeBob told him. "I never felt more alive."

"Plankton." SpongeBob cleared his throat. "There have been complaints about your leadership. Now, since I'm back and I'm supposed to be ruling here; can I please be king?" Plankton laughed.

"You?!" He laughed. "You're not fit to be a king. King of the goofballs maybe but king; you got to be kidding me!"

"Laugh all you want Plankton." SpongeBob said. "I will still be king ether way."

"I don't think so." Plankton said. "After what you did to Harold; I don't think you should. Your subjects will agree."

"I put it in my past."

"Ohhh this is rich! You haven't told them?"

"Told them what?" Patrick wanted to know. "SpongeBob, are you hiding something from your friends?"

"Now my favorite part. Tell them SpongeBob, who is responsible for Harold's demise?" All faces were on SpongeBob. SpongeBob gulped and stepped foreword.

"I am." He told them sadly. The good cartoons all gasped.

"See?" Plankton said. "He admits it; murderer!"

"But it was an accident." SpongeBob said. "I didn't mean to…"

"Lies!" SpongeBob fell down in startlement.

"But I told you. I…"

"Spongy, your father isn't hear to protect you anymore. Now I got a secret to tell you." He whisped to the sponge. "I killed your daddy." SpongeBob's eyes went big as he lept on Plankton, pinning him down.

"NOOOOOOO! You're the murderer not me, I knew it. Actually I didn't, but saying I did makes me feel better."

"I thought I killed him." Gannon said. "I had the hook after all."

"Yeah, but Plankton tripped him." Escargoon reminded him.

"Ohhhh! Hay everyone, PLANKTON'S THE MERDERER!" Escargoon cupped his hand over Gannon's mouth.

"Idiot!" He whispered to him. "You'll going to blow our cover." But it was too late; everyone had heard; then everyone began brawling one another.

Grimer was running away from Grounder. They ran into the cave where Squidward was held captive.

"Oh goodie." Squidward spoke when he spotted the blob. "Finally someone to save me! HEEELLLP!"

"I'M AFREAD YOU'RE GOING TO LET ME IN!" Grimer went into the cage and held onto Squidward, looking scared. Squidward sighed.

"Yup my hero." He muttered. Then he pushed him off. "Eeeew!"

"Please don't eat me." Grimer pleaded. "I have a life you know."

"Eat you?" Wario asked disgusted. "Who wants to eat you? That's disgusting!"

"Yey!" Grimer cheered. "I knew my blobbyness would pay off someday; yay for Grimyness!"

"Everybody out" A familiar voice screeched. They all looked to see an angry Charmander. "Leave them alone!"

"Char buddy!" Grimer cheered. "You came to save us, yey!"

"Uh." Grounder scratched his head. "Why is the fire lizard here?" Grimer gasped.

"Uh oh, now you're in for it."

"What?" Grounder wanted to know. "What did I do?"

Then they saw the outraged Charmander stampede towards them.

"I'm a fire SALAMANDER!!!!" he yelled as he did a head butt, breaking the cage immediately. As Charmander saw them, he growled. Grounder and Wario backed away.

"Maybe we should get out of here." Wario told Grounder.

"Yeah, I hear you." Grounder agreed then both scampered of. The good cartoons laughed as they walked out of the cave.

"You showed them Char!" Grimer told him. "You're a superstar!"

"Yeah!" Added Squidward. "Way to go; that was awesome!" Charmander blushed.

"Ah come on guys." He said. "You're too kind."

"Ugh die you stupid duck billed beaver tail creature!" Foop shouted at Perry, blasting him. Perry dodged them all. "Why won't you die you… whatever you are!"

"Uh…" Dr. D whispered to the Anti. "He's a platypus. And he's my nemesis; therefore I should try to destroy him."

"Fine!" Foop decided. "You fight that lameapus; I don't care." That got Perry mad; he then attacked Foop. Foop sailed and bumped into Poof. Poof turned around.

"Ugh, what did I do?" He commanded.

"You called him a lamemapus." Dr D. answered. "He gets real emotional at that term."

"Err, food!" Foop said. Kirby, Yoshi, Munchlax, and even a Snorelax lighted up. They then gave questioning looks at the Anti.

Perry pointed behind him at his enemy. The hungry cartoons ran to the evil doctor.

"Ugh no, not again!" The doctor ran for his life as the cartoons chased him. "CURSE YOU PERRY THE PLATYPUS!!!!!!!" Perry smiled.

Foop smiled guiltily at Poof.

"There's a good Poof." Foop said. "You can make amends to your counterpart that tried to eliminate you, won't you Poof?" Poof lifted his rattle that started to glow. Foop sighed.

"Yep, figures." He said, then Poof poofed his enemy away.

"Poof, poof!" Poof said proudly hugging his rattle.

"I'm gomma shocks ya guys!" Pichu told Meowth and Gannon.

"Pichu, you can't shock them…" Stinger started. But it was too late, the little electric mouse elecacuted Meowth, Gannon, and himself! They all fainted on the ground.

"Without shocking yourself as well." The scorpion finished.

"Eeeeee." Pichu groaned. "Mommy is dats yous?"

"No wonder Pichu and Pikachu are in the same evolution line." Meowth said to himself. "There electric shocks shocks me the same."

"Hey look!" Gannon said dazed. "Stars to connect the dots with!"

"Stand back you hooligans!" Toadsworth said to Dedede, Bowser, and a Minjo. "I got my walking cane here and I'm not afraid to use it!" The three just laughed.

"You!" Dedede scoffed. "Ya right! You're too old for fights like these!"

"Come on oldie!" Bowser commanded. "Give us your best shot!"

"Minjo, min!" Minjo said.

"Okay." Toadsworth shrugged. "Suit yourself." Then he whacked them all with his cane.

"Oooh!" Bowser said in pain. "You got lucky that time oldie." Then he fainted with the others.

"Never underestimate what an elderly folk can do you youngnens." The old Toad said, clasping his cane in his hand.

"There you are Plankton!" SpongeBob said as he saw him Plankton looked at him and backed up as SpongeBob got serious. "You murderer!"

"Oh SpongeBob." Plankton faked. "Whatever do you mean?"

"You know what I mean. Everything you ever told me was lies, no wonder you're evil."

"I-I didn't do it!" He looked at Dr. D, Grounder, and Escargoon." SpongeBob looked at them. "They're the real enemies, they're the ones!" The three glared at Plankton.

"Nice try!" The sponge said. "You did it; you can't fool me."

"Ohhh, is that Patrick with Jellyfish nets?" SpongeBob's expression then changed as he turned behind him excitedly.

"Really; where?"

"Fooled ya!" Plankton then hopped into a giant robot and commanded it to kick the sponge. SpongeBob flew and fell to a cliff, hanging on for his life. Plankton in the robot walked towards the struggling sponge.

"Prepare to die!" Plankton laughed and ordered to robot to attack. The robot left in the air, heading towards the sponge. SpongeBob gulped. Thinking fast, he quickly got up and ran to the side as to robot fell to the ground. SpongeBob peeked to have a look over the edge.

"BOOOOOMMMMMM!" There was a loud explosion as pieces of the robot flew to the sides. When the dust cleared, SpongeBob saw Plankton laid face first on the ground.

"OOOOO; what happened?" Plankton moaned. When he saw the other bad cartoons; he stood up immediately.

"Friends!" He said. "I'm so glad you're here, now we can…"

"Friends?" Escargoon interrupted. "I heard that we were the enemies."

"Yeah!" Dr. D agreed. "I heard that too. There's a lesson to be learned from this; watch what you say!"

"Yeah!" Grounder added, laughing crazily. "I also heard that!" Plankton gulped.

"No." He said. "I-I didn't mean."

"ATTACK!!!" Escargoon ordered. All of the bad cartoons ran towards Plankton.

"No I…NOOOOOOO!" He screamed as the Chain Chomp, Chompy bit him. He screamed louder when the others attacked.

When all was clear; SpongeBob walked towards Pride Cartoon Rock. SpongeBob paused when he was by Toadsworth.

"It's time my friend!" Toadsworth bowed. SpongeBob continued up as Grimer, Perry with his fedora off, Charmander, and even Squidward bowed at their passing king.

When SpongeBob was king of the world, he gave out a loud series of laughter. Everybody bowed as Toadsworth crowned the sponge. Charmander and Grimer were wiping back tears.

"They grow up so fast." Charmander said to Grimer. "Don't they?" Grimer wrapped an arm around his pal.

"They sure do Charmander!" He agreed. "They sure do!"

Long live the king!
