Chapter 11: Tavern Brawl ROUND 2
Please Read and Review.
(Not far behind Snorlax and Meowscarada was Ursaluna and Watchog. Except for the fact that they had not even reached Eindoak town yet. But have arrived at Granny Sneasler's Tavern, "The Happy Bunnelby Tavern". They were now standing outside the restaurant, looking into a window. And from what they could see, it did not look like the friendliest of places, as Ursaluna conveys this feeling of his with Watchog).
Ursaluna: Yes, this place does not look very friendly. (What they could see inside included the survivors of the big brawl that they got into with Snorlax and Meowscarada. With multiple patrons either in wheelchairs or bandages on various parts of their body, or having the Bunnelby Staff tended to them, and a ton of them were still feeling the pain and agony of their injuries).
Granny Sneasler's bandits: Oh! Oh, my tail. (Despite this, Watchog remained optimistic about this as he knew he could talk to them without any problems, reassuring Ursaluna).
Watchog: Look, I am sure everything is fine. This is a restaurant. These are my people. We speak the same language. You will wait here. (With that Watchog, the Action Survivor went ahead to enter the Tavern, alone. Sure, he knew that he lacks the Kung Fu skills of his son, Urshifu (Rapid Strike), and the Animarium Wild Force, but he himself has been in the thick of action alongside his son when he was going up against his enemies and has so far managed to come out in one piece while sometimes getting in a couple of hits against the villains. So, he was sure that this time would be no different).
(Moments later, the Tavern doors opened and Watchog happily greeted everyone, letting them know of his presence).
Watchog: Salutations! Look, I am so sorry to interrupt. (Chuckles) I know you are having a fun time, (Watchog then began walking over to the table where Granny Sneasler was with her fellow bandits), but I was wondering if a Snorlax happened to be passing by these parts. (Granny Sneasler was not pleased at the reminder of Snorlax and what he (and Meowscarada) did when they were here, asking Watchog).
Granny Sneasler: There was a Snorlax here. (She then gets on the table to get closer to Watchog's face, as a couple of other bandits also close in on Watchog). Do you know him? (Watchog gets nervous but tries to stay calm as he tells them).
Watchog: Know him? Why I am his dad! (Then suddenly one of the bandits grabbed Watchog by the throat making him wheeze as he struggled to breathe, before two more hands also grabbed at his throat).
(Watching from a window outside, Ursaluna began to panic for Watchog's safety as he knew that he would not last much longer at this rate).
Ursaluna: No, no, no, no, no, no. (He then spotted something that gave him an idea to help him save Watchog). Hmm?
(Back inside, Granny Sneasler was letting Watchog exactly what her intentions with him are).
Granny Sneasler: You need to pay for what your son did here to my tavern. (Granny Sneasler then points to the hole in the wall that Snorlax himself made. As Watchog sees the damage that Snorlax clearly caused, a still hanging light fixture fell and shattered. Despite having his throat held tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe, still tried to defend his son telling Granny Sneasler).
Watchog: Look, my boy would not have done this for no reason. (Watchog then managed to wiggle his head free enough to breathe easier and ask his interrogator). Is it possible your broth was bland? (Granny Sneasler did not like Watchog's accusative question towards her, telling him).
Granny Sneasler: Try it. (Granny Sneasler then harshly grabs Watchog and prepares to put him in a large pot, but not before dangling him above it, making him scream in fear and horror).
Watchog: No, no! The broth smells excellent. (They began pushing Watchog closer and closer to the broth). You should not add a single thing, especially not me! (Watchog is about mere moments from ending up an addition to the meal when suddenly the Tavern doors open and a voice gets their attention, making them stop what they were doing).
Voice: Hands off the Watchog. (When the Tavern patrons looked over, they saw Ursaluna standing in front of the door, with a Wok and Cape on, making him look intimidating. But they mistook him for Snorlax, causing them to gasp in fear and horror of what could happen now that he had come back).
Excadrill: The Snorlax's back.
Patrons: He is back. He is back. (But Ursaluna denies the mistaken identity speaking in a fierce and threatening manner).
Ursaluna: No. But you are about to wish he were, (Watchog wonders what Ursaluna was trying to do here while staying quiet) 'Cause if you think he made a mess of this place, you have no idea what I am capable of here. Everything he learned, he learned from me. (Ursaluna then keeps walking towards Granny Sneasler and Watchog while speaking to the entire tavern). Except one thing. Mercy. (Most if all the patrons go silent in fear of what Ursaluna was saying). I do not know where he got that, because I do not believe in it. (Watchog then realized what Ursaluna was doing and smiled with hope that they would make it out of this alive. Ursaluna corners a patron up against a pillar). Now, this can go one of two ways. The effortless way, in which you tell me where he is, or the hard way, (But then Ursaluna turns on another patron, backing them up into another Pillar even scaring them a bit) in which you tell me where he is, but it is hard to understand what you are saying. Because you have no teeth. (Granny Sneasler stares at Ursaluna, not too fazed or intimidated by his "Tough and Scary Guy act". While the Bandit, who was still holding Watchog's head down, looked a little nervous, while also sending Granny Sneasler worried looks. Then they all watched Ursaluna take another patron's beverage and drank it all in one gulp, before destroying the cup in just his bare paws, all to the tavern patron's shock and horror. But when Ursaluna opens his paw, he sees that he got a couple of splinters from the cup he just destroyed. Ursaluna then winced and whimpered in pain from the splinters but tried to stifle it to keep others from seeing through his act. He then lunged for another table where two patrons were playing a game of Mahjong). Mah-jongg. Well, I eat mah-jongg tiles for breakfast! (Ursaluna then went ahead and took all their Mahjong tiles just before he went and swallowed them! But moments later he spat them back out, but instead of spitting out tiles, he ended up spitting out his teeth. Then Ursaluna went ahead and groaned in pain from what he had done just now. Then he heard the Tavern patrons begin growling, as a couple of them raised their weapons to Ursaluna. In response to this, Ursaluna went and grabbed a bunch of chopsticks from a cup on a nearby table. Before jumping on top of the table, then doing various Poses with noises to intimidate the bandits surrounding him. But then he just ends up splitting the chopsticks in half and crushing the table beneath him. Everyone goes silent upon seeing that, but then the awkward silence becomes replaced by the sound of creaking wood. Then the Tavern begins tipping over again).
(Outside the tavern, the Tavern continues to tip over like when it happened because of Snorlax and Meowscarada as the sounds of Wood Creaking continued to reverberate throughout the tavern).
(Back inside the tavern, the bandit holding Watchog drops him to the ground, as everyone begins screaming and shouting as they begin running towards the other end of the tavern to stop it from tipping over... again).
(And from the outside of the tavern, it works, as the Tavern returns to its original balance, and becomes stable again).
(Inside, the patrons begin to calm down and relax knowing that their beloved tavern is safe and no longer in danger of tipping over. Watchog stands up wondering what just happened).
Watchog: Huh? (Ursaluna is also confused as to what just happened. Then everyone could hear the wood creaking as they all became fearful again. Ursaluna then decides to use it to his advantage as he puts on a smug face, chuckles to himself, and begins stomping his way over to them. Causing them all to start clamoring in a frenzy panicked. They all continue clamoring as they all begin moving to avoid having their tavern risk tipping over. Outside, the tavern comes dangerously close to tipping over because of all the patrons moving around all erratically).
(Back inside, the patrons continue running around in a desperate effort to save their beloved pub. Until finally, Granny Sneasler has had enough of this, taking a stand against Ursaluna, yelling at him).
Granny Sneasler: Stay there! (Ursaluna ignores her request, as he asks her a question of his own).
Ursaluna: Where is our son? (Granny Sneasler, wanting him out of her, tells him right away).
Granny Sneasler: He took a boat to Eindoak Town. (Due to not knowing where that was, Watchog then asked her).
Watchog: Which way? (In perfect sync, every single patron member pointed in a westward direction. Having gotten the answers that they wanted, Ursaluna begins a grand monologue...).
Ursaluna: You know, a wise Pokémon once... (... Until Watchog interrupted him, wanting to get out of here before anything else could happen to them).
Watchog: Time to go. (Realizing that Watchog was right, Ursaluna abandoned his Grande Monologue to follow Watchog as they left "The Happy Bunnelby Tavern" behind them).
Ursaluna: Uh, yes. Right.
(Watchog was just relieved that he was once again had proved that he was an action survivor, despite not having gotten into any physical fights with the other patrons' members, due to their worries over the tipping tavern. But if they did fight them, they would have showed how he and Ursaluna were "Bash Brothers" just like when they teamed up together to distract Marshadow's Jombies while Snorlax goes after Marshadow, especially with their remarkably effective "Double Dad Defense" technique).
(Once Ursaluna and Watchog were safe outside the Tavern safely, Ursaluna feels relieved as he stood beside Watchog and a couple of the Bunnelby employees. But then Ursaluna ended up leaning up against the tavern, inadvertently pushing it completely off the cliff and into the sea! With the patrons all screaming in fear and horror. All the while Ursaluna has a look of embarrassment and regret. Then they all look over the cliff to see the patrons, all brooding in anger as they all either floated above the water or took refuge on the roof of the Tavern. Granny Sneasler is especially brooding as she sat in a metal bucket floating above the water. While Ursaluna and Watchog all looked regretful for what happened, the Bunnelby employees began cheering happily for their freedom from all the abuse and torture they suffered at the claws of Granny Sneasler at her restaurant by having to become her slaves. Then Ursaluna and Watchog began to sneak away, to continue their journey to find and hopefully catch up with Snorlax and Meowscarada in Eindoak Town).
(Back in the underground Den of Thieves city of Eindoak Town with Snorlax and Meowscarada. The mischievous trio of Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour were giggling as Panpour prepared to put a couple stick of dynamites in the fur of the now sleeping Mankey Brothers. While Pansage was using Pansear to light a match for the Dynamite sticks. While this was going on Snorlax was tutoring Meowscarada in doing the same complex maneuvers Snorlax had pulled off in the tavern just before using the Behemoth Blade attack on those angry attacking patrons, giving her a broom to practice with).
Snorlax: Okay, time to try this again. (Meowscarada then went try to technique...).
Meowscarada: Stir the pot, roll the wok, serve the dish, and ska-blam! (... And did it correctly. But then felt disappointed when she saw that nothing was happening despite pulling the technique off correctly). Hey, where is the golden dragon that is supposed to shoot out?
Snorlax: Not gonna happen with a broom. (Meowscarada feels a little discouraged but not too bothered by this).
Meowscarada: Yes? Still not bad though. (Snorlax was feeling proud of how great Meowscarada has improved in her training so far).
Snorlax: Yes. (Snorlax then goes to show the technique to her again). But stir later, roll higher, and the word is "Skadoosh". (But then Meowscarada points out something to him).
Meowscarada: "Skadoosh" is not a word. (Snorlax counters that claim that Meowscarada just made, asking her).
Snorlax: And "ska-blam" is? (Suddenly they heard a bunch of fireworks explode. And then saw the Mankey Brothers all screaming in fear and panic as they go flying around the area on the fireworks, often bouncing around and hits walls multiple times in a roll, all the while the Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour trio all watched in awe and amazement).
Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour: Ska-blam! (Thankfully, Snorlax managed to save one of Mankey Brothers, using the Behemoth Blade Sword to catch and place them in a barrel full of water. Where the Mankey Brother Sighs in relief with a grin on his face to finally be free from that torture the Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour trio just put him through. Then Meowscarada admits to Snorlax with a small smile on her face).
Meowscarada: I gotta say, you are not like any of the other Masters I have met. (Snorlax knows exactly what Meowscarada is saying as he admits to her).
Snorlax: Yeah, I know. There are not a ton of Snorlax's. (Meowscarada then said clarifying what she meant when said that Snorlax was "not like any of the other Masters" that she has met).
Meowscarada: No, you are, like, a good guy. (Before Snorlax can respond to what Meowscarada said, Sandslash said getting everyone's attention).
Sandslash (Kanto Form): Listen up. The coast is clear. Thieves hit the streets. (Then Sandslash directs his attention towards Snorlax and Meowscarada). And you two, get out of my Sight. (And they see him giving an angry glare, letting them that he means it. But they had more pressing concerns, such as finally making it to the lair of Mew!).
[A/N #1: Here is a bit of Fun Trivia about the Kung Fu Panda Movies: In a case of Playing Against Type: Lucy Liu, previously known for playing sarcastic Jerks or remorseless assassins, voices the sweet-natured and kindly Viper. And James Hong, best known for playing Mr. Ping, Po's affectionate, dorky doting foster father has previously played strict mentors, evil sorcerers, or unlikeable authority figures].
[A/N #2: If anyone is wondering why I put a "Final Destination" reference in the last chapter, it is because there is a New "Final Destination" Movie coming out soon, on May 26th. The name of the movie will be, "Final Destination: Bloodlines", and will be the Franchise's 6th entry, and the first movie in over a decade (Since 2011). I just know that when it comes out, I will be there to see it. :)].
Replies to my reviewers:
Ashpoke55: Thank you. And here is a bit of good news: I have made peace with the news of moving out of my childhood home. (At least enough to not be upset or angry about it anymore, especially towards my mom). And I have "Hannah Montana" to thank for it, as I feel like the show came when I needed it the most. (In a manner of speaking). And I have made up with my mom as well, so now everything is okay between us. Do not get me wrong though, I am still a little sad to know that I will soon (no confirmed date) be moving out of my childhood home. But I am okay now. It was thanks to two songs from "Hannah Montana". They were, "Every Part of Me" (In the Season 3 Two Part Finale (But the song plays in Part 1), "Miley Says Goodbye?") and the other was the song, "Wherever I Go" played in the Season 4 episode(s), "I'll Always Remember You" (Where Miley sings it solo), and the Season 4 (and Series) Finale, "Wherever I Go". (Where Miley sings in a Duet format with Emily Osment's Character, Lilly). It was these two songs that helped through my grief (feelings of sadness) and helped find a bit of perspective that helped me when I needed it the most. Not only that, but both songs (in an exceedingly RARE feat) were able to have me reduced to tears. Which is an extremely challenging thing to do. (Especially for a song). Since I am not normally someone who can be that emotionally moved. (That does not mean it cannot happen; it just does not happen very often). In fact, I got a bit emotional when I was watching the "iCarly" Series finale. (Original Series, not reboot). And the "Pokémon Sinnoh League Victors" Finale episode, "Memories are Made of Bliss!". (Which also the last episode of the "Diamond and Pearl" Anime Series). But not to the same extent that "Hannah Montana" did. "Hannah Montana" will go down (for me) as the only show I ever watched (that I can remember) that made me cry TWICE when watching a season finale. (In this case it was the Season 3 Finale, and Season 4 Episode, "I'll Always Remember You"). Also, I have finished watching "Hannah Montana" and have already begun watching a Brand-new show, "H2O: Just Add Water". While I am already Seven episodes into the show, I am already hooked onto the show's Theme Song, its truly beautiful (and one of the most beautiful theme songs that I have heard in a while, since the previous ones had been mostly action packed sounding for the most part) to the point its stuck in my head. The premise of the show (according to Wikipedia) is about "three teenage girls facing everyday teen problems with an added twist: they are mermaids, and each has their own unique, supernatural power related to water". It features the (so far amazing) cast of Cariba Heine as Rikki, Claire Holt as Emma, and Phoebe Tonkin as Cleo. (All of whom look amazing for a show that came out in 2006 (Close to 20 Years ago) on both Disney Channel and (believe or not) Nickelodeon). The Show takes place (and filmed) in Queensland, Australia and is GORGEOUS! With Beautiful underwater Cinematography, the show is a Sight to Behold. And it is on Netflix. (at least the first of its three total seasons is). So, yes, my life is quite good right now, and I know it is going to be fine. And its fine if you do not have any questions. Because I am simply happy to share my latest news here.
