A/N: Last time, the gang fought over what movie to watch, which along with Jorgen's sudden appearance, caused Oak and three other Pokemon professors to be trapped in a movie spawned from several of the boy's ideas and Jorgen storybook, which the gang now must watch to the end to break the spell. What will our professors encounter in this special adaptation? Find out starting now!
ToonSchool: Pokebusters
Mysterious Occurrences
Later, many students are outside buying and eating lunch. Some students are chatting with their friends as they eat, while others are reading their textbooks. As for the university professors and teachers, they are either having lunch themselves or preparing for their next classes. However, for Professors Oak, Willow, Sycamore, and Kukui, they are gathered in the break room preparing coffee and eating donuts.
"So how was everyone's classes today?," Oak asked his colleagues. "Mine was uneventful for the most part."
"Well, for some reason every female student of mine booked my office hours for tutoring for the next week," said Sycamore as he poured a cup of coffee. "What about you Kukui? Anything exciting?"
Kukui nearly spit out his coffee in surprise as he stammered, "Wha- no, no, no! Just caught a couple of students on their phones in class, but other than that, nothing!"
"Well, Phineas and Ferb tested a new invention during my class today. A ray that can replicate a Solarbeam," Willow explained as he ate a glazed donut. "They still have a few bugs to work out with it, though."
"Tell me about it," Donald angrily said as he, still covered in soot, passed by the door while muttering to himself.
"Anyways, I'm continuing my lectures on the nature of human/Ghost Pokemon relations," Oak continued. "I would like to set up a demonstration with a battle between me with a Ghost-type and someone else with another type for tomorrow. I was wondering if one of you would like to be my opponent."
"Sorry Samuel, I've got lectures all day tomorrow," Sycamore replied.
"Me too, I'm booked all day too," Kukui agreed.
"I can do it. My class is out for tomorrow, and I've got plenty of time," said Willow, who was looking forward to working with his old mentor.
"Glad to hear it, Willow," Oak replied. Just then, they heard screaming in the hallways, with a familiar voice shouting…
"THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!"
Before they could react, a hunchbacked teacher wearing glasses, a white shirt, and black tie burst into the break room in anger. "I refuse to believe your research, Sycamore! The creatures you've speak aren't fairies at all! In fact, Clefairy and Gardevoir don't even have crowns or wings!"
Professor Sycamore sighed as he walked forward and answered, "It's true that Fairy-type Pokemon are based on fairies and mythic creatures from legends. But not all of them are pure-hearted fairies, which is the same case as these Pokemon. I should also add that most of them don't have anything resembling crowns and wings."
"Then why even call them 'Fairy types' if they don't even look like it?!"
"Because their powers and abilities are related to magic and the supernatural," Willow replied, frustrating Crocker.
"But what about those Psychic types who can move things with a flick of their wrists or something?"
"No, that's different. Their powers are mental, or of the mind," Kukui corrected Crocker, further infuriating him.
"Well, what about that little legendary one who appears every millennium and supposedly grants wishes?!"
"That's Jirachi, and it's a Steel/Psychic type, not a Fairy type," Willow informed him.
"GAHH! I just can't win here, can I?," Crocker snapped, now thoroughly frustrated. "How can you call any of those posing little creatures 'fairies' when they have no traits of fairness at all?! You are nothing but a-"
As Crocker ranted in a crazy manner, the professors put earplugs in their ears to muffle him out. "And soon, you will learn the true meaning of the existence of..."
"FAIRY GODPARENTS! FAIRY GODPARENTS!"
He continued to have spasms while he shouted this, and left the break room, allowing the professors to remove their earplugs as they stared at the crazed teacher in disbelief.
"So, who hired him here anyway?" Willow asked to the others, which they shrugged in reply.
"Yeah, how did Mr. Crocker got into the movie?" Timmy asked.
Tony grabbed the storybook and flipped through the pages. ""Most of the story's characters are based on important people from their memories. That includes their arch-enemies as well. (No take backs!)" That explains a lot."
"If Vlad's in there, I'm throwing that disk into a furnace," Danny said in a deadpanned manner.
As the professors left the break room, they noticed something at the end of the hallways. It was an anthropomorphic mouse wearing a suit without a tie, and he was talking to an older anthropomorphic duck with a black top hat, red robes, glasses, and a cane.
"Dean Mickey?" Oak asked, at which the mouse stopped talking as he took notice of him.
"O-Oh, Professor Oak! I didn't know you're here with your colleagues," Mickey said.
"We were just taking our lunch break back at the break room. What's going on?"
All of the sudden, the older duck stepped in and said, "I'll tell you what's going on! Those penny-pinching poltergeist monsters are starting to become pests not only in my Money Bin but of all of my businesses! And I need you Pokemon geniuses to get rid of them! Just one more mess from any of them, and I will lose most of my hard-earned fortune!"
"Excuse me?" Oak asked in confusion.
"A few Ghost Pokemon caused some accidents at several of Scrooge's businesses, and the workers are blaming them on the supposed outdating of safety protocols. They're threatening lawsuits if one more incident happens," Mickey explained.
"Which is why I need your help to find and catch those pests before I end up in civil court!," Scrooge exclaimed.
"I don't know, Mr. McDuck, sir. We're Pokemon researchers, not ghost hunters," Oak said. He wasn't certain about him and his colleagues hunting ghosts, even if they were Pokemon.
"Yes, I thought the Fentons are rumored to deal with those strange occurrences," Sycamore added.
"Are you even listening?! They are not some ordinary specters that haunt some boxes from the backroom!" Scrooge angrily protested.
Before they can speak, a portly blue-skinned man wearing hat and overalls suddenly appeared right in front of the adults, startling them in the process as he shouts, "Beware! I am the Box Ghost! I have power over all containers cardboard and square."
But before the ghost can do anything, a green laser blasts him away, causing everything to duck as the ghost scream, "Bewareeeeeeee!"
Once that's over, they hear a man's voice outside, "And another spook bites the dust!"
"Look, I may be the richest duck in the world. But my experiences from my Pokemon trainer and treasure hunting days made me realize that these are no ordinary poltergeist monsters," Scrooge explained. "I saw the damages first hand and I know that couldn't be a work of some Gastly or some Pikachu-wearing ghoul. Unfortunately, I only know half of these powerful creatures, and I need someone who has expertise in a field of what they do, and how they behave. Plus, I can't trust Fenton after the Money Bin incident."
The professors looked at each other as they were unsure about believing Scrooge's statement about the incident. It wasn't until Oak sighed and said, "Since you're sure that Ghost-type Pokemon are responsible, I might as well see the site of the incident for myself, to see how severe damage is."
"Well, I'm going with you," Willow spook up, with Sycamore and Kukui agreeing.
"Oh no, you all still have classes to teach. It's best that just one of us takes care of this," Oak said sternly, not wanting his colleagues' schedules to be disrupted.
"We might be dealing with Ghost Pokemon here," Sycamore replied. "You know Ghost-types can be very unpredictable."
"And unpredictable can also mean dangerous," added Willow.
"Which is why you shouldn't go alone. We should all do this together," finished Kukui.
"Usually, there would be a big disagreement after that. But we're running on limited time and those creatures are hurting my profits," Scrooge declared as he walks away. "And don't worry about your classes; Launchpad will take us there before lunchtime ends."
The professors about to speak, until they noticed Dean Mickey pantomiming not to take his offer.
"Um, sure but we can drive ourselves, thank you," Oak said. "Augustine and I have our own cars."
"Plus, your driver Launchpad doesn't exactly have the best track record with driving, flying, sailing, or any kind of transportation," Willow pointed out.
"Good point. Well, I'll meet you at the crime scene," Scrooge said as he left, with the professors following, as Mickey waved goodbye at them.
Later, at the crime scene, a construction site near Central Park, the professors and Scrooge had all arrived (Scrooge with some difficulty due to Launchpad's poor driving) and the latter was giving the four former a tour of the trouble and damage that had been allegedly caused by the Ghost Pokemon.
"Watch your step, gentlemen. They really did a number on the pavement and scaffolds," Scrooge warned as he led them deeper into the construction site.
But as they looked around, the professors saw not only several workers injured and bandaged as medics tended to them but several news reporters reporting about the incident at the site. Just seeing all of this made them glance at each other with worry for the victims.
Eventually, they reached the end of the site, and Scrooge pointed out something right in front of them. "Here we are! Though I have to warn you, it's not for the faint of heart."
"I'm sure it can't be that bad," Sycamore said with slight confidence.
But as they turned, they gasped at what they saw. Not only were there huge scratch marks on the broken walls, scaffoldings, and pillars, but there was also red graffiti that said "GET OUT!", all scrawled on the walls, with some drops of paint dripping away from the letters.
"Oh my... Who would do this?" Oak asked in horror.
"That's what I've been asking myself for several hours now. This graffiti has been scrawled all over the fronts of most of my Skylar City businesses for several weeks now!" Scrooge explained. "And don't get me even started on what they've done to my production factories and other construction sites!"
The professors glanced at each other once more before they approached the ruins. They then set about investigating the scene.
Willow saw some strange scribbles on the wall. He took a closer look and noticed they looked like a mysterious text of some sort.
"Hmm, this must have some meaning," he said as he took out his Pokedex and used it to analyze the language. "Maybe if I can identify the scratch patterns, then maybe I can figure who the Pokemon is? And what it wants."
Meanwhile, Sycamore looked at the graffiti and noticed several red handprints left from one of the culprits in the paint of the graffiti. He also noticed several large unusual footprints on the ground, indicating that the culprit had landed and stood in that spot during the attack for a while. He then took out his Pokedex.
"It's rare for a Ghost-type to land on the ground if it likes levitation," he said as he took analyzation of the hand and footprints. "And they certainly don't use paint to leave a message."
Elsewhere, Kukui noticed a strange white-ish slime on a couple of the walls. Putting on gloves, he touched the slime to get a feel for what it was before he took out his Pokedex and used it to analyze the slime.
Then, as Oak rummaged through the rubble, he noticed something strange on the ground. When he picks it up, he noticed it was a piece of ripped paper that was also scribbled in the same strange text and read what it said out loud. "'THE END WILL COME AT THE ECLIPSE.'"
But as he was about to take a closer look at it, he heard a commotion outside the ruins. He put the scrapped paper into his pocket and headed outside. When he arrived, he saw his colleagues right outside the ruins as they saw a fat anthropomorphic cat wearing a grey suit pushing all the reporters away. However, a security guard blocks his path and says, "Halt! This is a restricted area! Step away from the crime scene, civilian!"
"Who are you calling 'civilian'?! I'm with the police, you dolt!", the cat shouted as he flashed his police badge at the guard, stunning the man completely.
"O-Oh! Detective Pete, sorry for not recognizing you. We were ordered to guard the crime scene by any means." Without any protest, the guard led the police detective inside. He then marched towards Scrooge and the Pokemon Professors.
"I thought I told everyone that this place is off-limits. And I know I didn't invite four know-it-alls to my crime scene!" Pete shouted to the Professors.
"Actually, I asked them to investigate this whole area for any signs of Pokemon. As far as we know from that footage from yesterday, we have no knowledge on what we're really dealing with," Scrooge explained.
"I know what we're dealing with! Vandalish monsters plain and simple!"
"Not so plain or simple actually," Oak said as he and the other professors stepped up.
"Oh, and I suppose you university-based know-it-alls know better than I, do you," Pete snapped in annoyance.
"As a matter of fact, we do," Willow said as he held up his Pokedex with the results of his analysis, showing Pete the identification of one of the culprits. "And those vandalish monsters you referred to are Ghost Pokemon by the way. The strange scribbles we found on the walls were made by the scratches of a Sableye's claws."
"And the hand and footprint in the paint and on the ground belong to that of a Gengar," Sycamore added as he held up his Pokedex, showing Pete the results of his analysis.
"And some slime we found on the walls is the body substance of a Litwick," Kukui put in as he held up his Pokedex, showing Pete the results of his analysis.
"So a bunch of those mysterious little-superpowered Pocket Monsters you like to keep an eye on are what's causing all the chaos here?," Pete asked in a snide manner.
"Yes," Oak replied.
"I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! Those menacing little creeps! I always knew they were an abomination to our society!," Pete exploded in anger. For as long as he'd been on the force, Pokemon had been a thorn in his side, causing trouble and making messes that he, more often than not had to clean up.
"Hey, Pokemon are not abominations!," Kukui taking offense to Pete's comments, as did the other professors.
"That's right. Some of them cause trouble, but they aren't all bad!," Sycamore agreed, also taking offense.
"And you four like to research them, so that makes you just as bad, even worse than know-it-alls!," Pete yelled at the four.
"Shut up Pete, you have no clue of what you're saying!," Willow said. "So put your foot in your mouth before I put mine in there!"
"Oh, threatening an officer of the law, eh?!"
"That's enough! All of you!," Scrooge declared as he jumped in, breaking up the fight. "Detective Pete, I respect your duty for the sake of the police, but you best keep those bigoted attitudes to yourself, or I'll be forced to report you to your superiors!"
Pete growled as Scrooge said this. As much as he wanted to kick the professors out of the crime scene, he didn't want to risk losing his job. "Fine! But I still don't trust you four! Just seeing your faces reminds me too much of those other four crazy know-it-alls."
As the police detective left the construction site, the professors sighed in relief as Scrooge looked at them and said, "I'm sorry about Detective Pete. He's one of the city's best detectives, but he can be a bit grumpy when it comes to those super-powered creatures ever since those incidents with the Black Arachnid."
"I can imagine why," said Oak, who was aware of how infamous the thief was due to his infamous crimes with his Meowth. "And as much we wish to investigate more of the scene, we can't stay here for long. We have to prepare our lectures before the students notice our absence."
"I understand. Just make sure you contact me if you find any more clues to my specter problem. The more we know about these culprits, the sooner we can stop them, and the less damages my businesses will incur."
The four professors bid Scrooge farewell and started to make their way out of the construction site.
"Well, that was exciting," Sycamore quipped. "Except for that detective."
"Yeah, I can't believe he would badmouth Pokemon like that!," Willow exclaimed. "Who does he think he is?!"
"I know. I mean, it's too bad he's had some bad experiences with them, but that's no reason or excuse to be a complete bigot about it," Kukui agreed.
"Yeah, well, it's not like we can force his mind to change about it," Oak reminded his colleagues.
However, unknown to them as they left the site, a mysterious hooded figure silently observed the whole event as they stared at the Pokemon Professors with red glowing eyes.
A/N: Whoa, that Pete's got a really bad attitude. Then again, what were we expecting from him? Will the professors find the Pokemon were behind the attacks, and why they've been doing it? And who is that mystery figure watching them? Find out, hopefully, on the next chapter of ToonSchool: Pokebusters, coming soon!
