Fifty-Eight
Chaos in the Chervil
"Saw, remind me again whai I'm out hear and naught inside?" Buizel asked, arms crossed.
'Out here' was in Shaymin's Garden; dozens upon dozens of rows of herbs, vegetables, and fruit all growing in the same place. The entire place had to span a mile.
Near the upper right corner was a large greenhouse for more tropical plants, like oranges. At the upper right was a well and several hundred feet of hose. The rest was an organized array of edibles, varying from Apples to Oran Berries.
"The well I use is out of water," she explained, "so I need you and Rotom to help me water the plants."
Rotom himself was wearing a sunhat and holding a hefty watering can with both…lightning bolts. Buizel had on his shades but was otherwise unprotected from the sun ("Us Buizel have a natrl' sunscreen. 'Ts called FUR.").
"Fine," he muttered, "but ai get first pick on tha sitrus fruit."
Shaymin looked absolutely ecstatic about having help. The garden itself was actually in box 2, "Grass", it being so big.
"Great! Just fill up the water and let's go!"
Ten minutes later…
Rotom was going on his merry way, randomly dousing the fruit trees with a bucket of water, before noticing something shiny on the ground.
"Shiny…?" he trailed.
'Shiny' was a small bottle of an unnamed substance. It wasn't clear either, but the glass bottle still caught the ghost's eye.
"Shiny!" he shrieked, immediately throwing the bucket in a random direction and scooping up the little bottle.
He went to fetch the bucket, flew back to refill it, then decided he needed MANY more buckets.
So he got about five more and introduced them to Shiny.
…what?
Whaaaaat? There is no harm in showing your buckets a bottle of magic liquid!
Unless it was THIS magic liquid.
Rotom being Rotom, and Rotom being himself, he didn't' check to see if Shiny's screw was on.
It wasn't.
So there he was, pouring funky liquid into buckets of water while saying "Bucket, this is Shiny. Shiny, this is Bucket."
Buizel looked over once or twice but just chuckled to himself, saying "Kids. Always so naive."
Aaaand completely ignoring the fact that Rotom had psychological problems. Way to go, Buizel!
"What? Nutin' wrong with pouring stuff into wata—OH DEAR, ROTOM, NO!" He shrieked, diving for the bucket and crashing into a blackberry bush.
After spitting out a variety of phones (Blackberry? Eh? BLACKBERRY?), he watched, horrified, as Rotom dumped the buckets on the plants.
Meanwhile, on the narrating platform…
"…so what?" Percy asked. "It's probably water."
"Yep," Agumon noted.
"Mmm hmm," Zelda added.
"How long have you been here?" Reevee asked.
"Always!" Agumon chirped.
"Well, my fellow narrators," she answered with a gleam in her eye, "that was no ordinary liquid.
That was REGUVINATOR."
"…um…" Zelda stuttered after a moment.
"…really? Really? NO ONE HERE WATCHES KID ICARUS?!"
"Who's Kid Icarus?" Percy asked.
*facepalm noise*
"For all you non-Pit-liking people—"
"Hey! I like Pit!"
"Shush, Zelda, I'm trying to explain," the author hushed.
"For all you non-Kid-Icarus fans, Rejuvenator was a liquid used in the Anime—"
"Kid Icarus had an anime?"
"-in which Palutena—"
"Who?"
"-was making dinner and dumped it into the carrots—"
"So?"
"SHUT UP, AGUMON!" Reevee shouted angrily.
"Anyway, it made the carrots come back alive and they have this whole adventure over recapturing and defeating them.
"And Rotom just dumped a jar's worth of that stuff on Shaymin's plants, her perfect, healthy, green plants overloaded with fruit."
"Oh. I see the plot now."
"We had a plot?" Zoroark interjected.
"Get out of the chapter!"
Zoroark pouted and sauntered back.
AS I WAS SAYING,
Back in the garden…
The plants started shaking, then dropped their fruit. The fruit merged into a huge, apple-orange-Oran berry-other fruit monster.
"HOLY CAOW!" Buizel exclaimed.
AND YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN TO ME!
"I TAKE IT BACK—ARUGH!" Buizel shouted as the evil plant-merged thing of darkness wreathed a grape vine around his waist and lifted him into the air.
"HELP MEEEEEE—"he shrieked.
"I SHALL!" Rotom exclaimed.
The determined ghost grabbed a lawnmower and transformed into his grass form.
"MEAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWTTTTTTTZZZZZZZTTTTT!"
As Shaymin turned to face the noise, she got a face full of fruit juice instead.
All that remained were two tie-dye colored Pokémon sitting on a pile of juices and skins, Buizel's sunglasses knocked off and Rotom grinning like a maniac.
Of course, he did that all the time, but this time pulp was stuck between his teeth.
I am DISSAPOINTED in you, Zelda, Kid Icarus is a GREAT game!
Zelda: Can't know everyone.
YOU HAVE THE TRIFORCE OF WISDOM YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO KNOW EVERYONE!
Zelda: …oh.
Any late OC submissions will be in the next chapter, hold yo Ponyta!
