The next morning, after Lincoln got showered and dressed, he exits his dorm room and starts heading for the cafeteria to get some breakfast. As he walks down the hall, some Naranja Academy students walk up to him with looks of astonishment on their faces and holding their Rotom Phones.
"Hey, Lincoln." said a male student.
"Yeah?" replied Lincoln. The student holds his Rotom Phone out with the screen showing Lincoln, Arven, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, and Butters standing in front of the Titan Bombirdier on the cliff.
"Did you guys really battle a giant Bombirdier and win?!" asked a female student.
"Yeah, we did." replied Lincoln. 'Looks like Iono uploaded that video.'
"That was amazing! That Bombirdier had to be the size of an airplane!" said another student.
"Why did you guys take on that huge Pokemon?" asked another student.
"Weren't you all scared going up that hill with those boulders rolling at you?" asked another student.
"What was that glowing herb thing that Bombirdier ate?" asked another student. Lincoln went on to answer their questions. Once that was done, the students went on with their normal business.
"That was intense." said Lincoln. As he continued towards the cafeteria, he sees Stan, Kyle, Kenny, Ed, Edd, and Eddy hanging out near the cafeteria door who turn towards him when they hear him approach.
"Hey, Lincoln." said Kyle.
"Hey, guys. What's up?" replied Lincoln.
"Get this, dude. Iono uploaded that video of us battling that Titan Pokemon." said Kyle.
"Yeah. Students have been asking me, Stan, Cartman, Butters, and Kyle about that." said Kenny.
"I know. They've been asking me about that also." said Lincoln.
"We're becoming famous." said Stan.
"Big deal! We took on a Titan Bombirdier yesterday too, but no one said anything about it to us!" said Eddy.
"Actually, Eddy; only Ed took on the Titan Pokemon." said Edd.
"Whatever." said Eddy.
"I don't think anyone from our universe knows about it because no one recorded it on video and put it online." said Edd.
"Well next time Ed takes on a Titan Pokemon, we'll record it and put it online so we can be famous!" said Eddy.
"Actually, since Ed will be taking it on, only he'll become famous." said Edd. Eddy grumbles in response.
"So where are Cartman and Butters?" asked Lincoln.
"They went ahead to the cafeteria." said Kyle.
"Didn't they have breakfast at home?" asked Lincoln.
"Yeah, but they had strawberry crepes in the cafeteria today and Cartman wanted to have a couple. Butters went with to keep him company." explained Kyle.
"The Eds here and us were talking about how we all ended up in our Paldeas." said Stan.
"Mind if I join in?" asked Lincoln.
"Sure, dude." said Kyle. Just then, Stan's Rotom Phone. Stan pulls it out and looks at the Caller ID with a look of surprise.
"Who's that, Stan?" asked Kenny.
"It's Wendy." said Stan. Lincoln looked confused.
"Who's Wendy?" asked Lincoln.
"Stan's old girlfriend from back in our hometown." explained Kyle.
"She's NOT my girlfriend!" replied Stan. "Anyway, I gotta take this call. You guys know why I'm here in Paldea so you can explain it to the Eds."
"Sure thing, dude." said Kyle. For the next few minutes, the Eds, Lincoln, and the others talked about how they ended up attending their respective academies.
"I can't believe what your dads did!" Edd says to Kyle and Kenny.
"You guys set off a stink bomb the size of an SUV!" said Kenny.
"And I can't believe your family threw you out onto the streets with just a pair of pajamas with no shoes or socks over a superstition, Lincoln!" said Edd.
"And I thought our parents went overboard when they sent me and my friends here." said Eddy.
"I know. But I can't be too upset because if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be here learning about Pokemon, hanging out with you guys, and having an amazing adventure." said Lincoln.
"Yeah." said Kyle. Just then, Stan runs up to Kyle and Kenny.
"Guys! We need to talk!" exclaimed Stan.
"About what, dude?" asked Kyle.
"We need to find Cartman and Butters first!" said Stan.
"They should be in the cafeteria." said Kenny.
"Let's go!" said Stan. He, Kyle, and Kenny walk off while Lincoln and the Eds look with confused looks on their faces.
"What's wrong with them?" asked Ed.
"I have no clue." replied Edd.
"Let's find out." said Lincoln. He and the Eds run off to the cafeteria. At the cafeteria, Cartman and Butters were putting their empty trays on a cart for dirty trays when Stan, Kyle, and Kenny run over to them.
"Cartman! Butters!" exclaimed Stan.
"What is it, Stan?" asked Butters.
"I got a call from Wendy!" replied Stan.
"What? Calling to tell you she misses you and she loves you and she wishes you were with her?" asked Cartman in a mocking tone.
"No, lard butt! She told me Trent Boyett escaped from juvie!" exclaimed Stan. Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, and Butters gasped with frightened looks on their faces.
"Trent Boyett!" exclaimed Kenny.
"Yeah, and he's coming here!" exclaimed Stan.
"How does he know where we are?!" asked Kyle.
"He got to Clyde after he escaped. He gave Clyde a third-degree Native American rope burn (a/n: We know that's not what they're really called, we're just trying to be politically correct.) to get Clyde to tell him where we are!" replied Stan. "Wendy said that airport security footage caught him sneaking onto an airplane that was heading here."
"Oh crap! We're dead!" said Cartman.
"Oh no!" exclaimed Butters.
"But, Butters; he already got to you after his parole from juvie last year, so I don't think he'll be coming after you." said Kyle.
"I hope not." said Butters.
"Who's Trent Boyett?" asked Lincoln from the cafeteria doors, making Stan and his friends look to see him and the Eds. They then look back at each other.
"You think we should tell them?" asked Stan.
"Why not? We'll probably need all the help we can get." said Kyle. They then turn back towards the Eds and Lincoln and beckon them over to their table. Lincoln and the Eds walked over and sat down.
"So what's going on?" asked Lincoln. Stan takes a deep breath.
"Okay. It's like this..." said Stan. He then goes on to tell Lincoln and the Eds the whole story of what happened back in their old preschool when they were younger. (a/n: We can't mention the details of that incident in this fanfic because it's rated K. We'll put the details in our "Pokemon are Kewl" fanfic. Remember, that fanfic is rated T.) Needless to say, Lincoln and the Eds were shocked beyond rational belief.
"Geez Louise!" exclaimed Eddy.
"Dear, Lord!" said Edd. Ed was speechless and didn't know what to say.
"I can't believe you guys did that!" said Lincoln.
"We were little kids then; we didn't know any better!" said Stan.
"When he made parole a while back, he came after us." said Kenny. "But we got him sent back to juvie."
"He got to Butters first and did so much stuff to him he was put in the hospital." said Stan.
"What kind of stuff?" Lincoln nervously asked.
"Well. He gave him a snuggie, a charlie horse, a purple nurple, a swirly, a noogie, and some other stuff." said Stan. Lincoln looked confused.
"That's all he did?" asked Lincoln. "Seems like kiddie-level bullying stuff to me." Stan thinks back for a bit.
"Now that you mention it, it does seem kind of dumb to be scared of that stuff." said Stan.
"Kind of does, doesn't it." said Kyle.
"But Butters was in the hospital." said Cartman. Butters thinks for a bit.
"Actually, I don't really remember what Trent did to me. I think I was so scared of what I thought he was going to do that I fainted. I didn't really feel anything. I just woke up in the hospital." said Butters. Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny looked at each other. "I think my parents and the doctor just overreacted."
"Why are we so scared of that sort of stuff?" asked Kenny. "We can clean our ears out after wet willies, we can dislodge our underwear after wedgies, and the rope burns, noogie and purple nurple pains, and pink bellies will go away with time."
"But why did the doctor at the hospital back home set up an entire medical ward for that kind of stuff for those sixth graders when Trent did it to them?" asked Cartman.
"Don't forget how dumb a lot of the adults back home can be." said Stan. "He was most likely overreacting."
"All of a sudden I don't feel that scared of Trent Boyett anymore." said Kyle.
"Well what are you guys going to do now?" asked Lincoln.
"I guess we wait for Trent to show up, just let him do what he wants to do to us, and get it over with." said Stan.
"Sounds a lot better than living our lives in fear." said Kyle.
"Yeah." said Kenny.
"I suppose it would take him a whole day to get here by plane like it did for us." said Lincoln.
"He'll probably arrive at the same airport we all did." said Stan.
"So we all agree then?" asked Kyle.
"Yeah. We'll wait for him at the airport tomorrow." said Stan.
"Want me to be there with you guys?" asked Lincoln.
"No, dude. This is our problem, so we should face it alone." said Stan.
"But thanks anyway." said Kenny.
"Yeah." said Cartman.
"No problem, guys." said Lincoln.
"Hey! Can we eat now?" asked Eddy.
"I'm hungry." said Ed. The others looked back towards them.
"Yeah. Sorry for making you wait." said Lincoln.
"That's quite all right, Lincoln." said Edd. After that, Lincoln and the Eds sat down with Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny and had breakfast.
