Chapter 2: The Krusty Krab Tournament is a-Go!

A few days later after SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs left, Squidward got up, got dressed, ate breakfast, and went to work at the Krusty Krab. However, when he got there, he was surprised to see construction crews there building and adding on to the Krusty Krab, with many people watching. Squidward got into the Krusty Krab, only to see SpongeBob observing work being done on the floor by some workers. "SpongeBob, what on earth is going on here?" He asked SpongeBob. SpongeBob looked up to see Squidward, "Oh Hi Squidward! Mr. Krabs managed to convince the head of the Pokémon league to start a League Tournament right here at the Krusty Krab! It's going to be so great! The tournament is going to start next week! And best of all, Mr. Krabs is getting all this construction done for free!" Squidward rolled his eyes, "Gee, I wonder how he managed that." He muttered. "Hey, what's going on here?" Patrick asked as he came in. Mr. Krabs came out to see how things were going, and heard Patrick's question, "Well it's simple Patrick me-boy, me Number 1 customer, I'm hosting a tournament for these animals called erm, Pokemans I think it's called, and it's going to be right here at the Krusty Krab!" Patrick just looked at Mr. Krabs confused, and drooling. Deciding he wanted to get rid of Patrick quick, Mr. Krabs got an idea, "Oh that reminds me, for no pay whatsoever, I need you to deliver invites to the people who will be allowed to compete in the tournament, just take the Patty Mobile and you'll find all of them," As he handed Patrick some envelopes and shooed him out the door. "You can count on me Mr. Krabs!" Patrick said with a salute and got in the Patty Mobile, and then sped off full throttle, and teleported to the Pokémon world.

"I don't think Patrick will be back for a while do to his stupidity." Squidward said. "If he doesn't, then I'll just use me dial-up internet connection to send the invites from there." Mr. Krabs said as he went back into his office.

A few hours later...

Patrick, with some stroke of luck, managed to deliver all but one of the invitations. He drove around trying to figure out where the last one he needed to deliver was, but eventually, he drove off a cliff and then barrel rolled several times before coming to a rest at the bottom of a cliff. Patrick got out, dazed and confused, and saw that he was in a forest. "Ugh, where am I?" Patrick wondered as he looked around. Then, he was approached by a boy wearing a blue jacket and a red baseball cap with a Pikachu with him. "Hey are you okay there mister?" the person asked Patrick. "Uhh, yeah, I think I am, I don't think the wormhole caused me any injury of any kind." The Pikachu and the boy looked at each other funny. Patrick then saw the envelope he still had with him and remembered what he needed to do. "Oh yeah, are you a uh, Azh Kethc er, Ketchup?" Patrick asked trying to figure out what the name was. "I think you mean Ash Ketchum. That's me if that's who you're looking for. "Oh it is, okay, here's the letter, I got to get back home now so I can get back to doing nothing." And with that, Patrick got in the Pattymobile, and pressed a button that took him back to Bikini Bottom. Ash opened the letter to see what it said, and was surprised at what he saw.
