===========================================================================

Well, guess what? No really! I finished part 4! I'm starting to wonder if I
will actually be able to finish this thing and still call myself sane... Prob'ly
not, but who cares, right? Well, without further adieu...

PART IV: Not a Failure, After All...

SCENE: Town Hall (The pokemon of the town are gathered, and mild
whispering is going around. They all are waiting for something,
obviously. A hush falls over the room as a battered old Mr. Mime walks
in and lights himself a cigar with one of his fingers.)

MR. MIME: People of the fine town of Pokelvania! I have come to you
this night with the gravest of news. (A snicker is heard from one of
his escorts, a little Oddish.) Is something funny?

ODDISH: Why, no sir! Go on about this "grave" matter! (He snickers
again.)

MR. MIME: (ignoring the Oddish) Doctor Alakazam Pokenstein may be dead,
but his relative lives! He has come to Pokelvania, and I know for a
fact that he has dug up a corpse this very evening! I tell you, this
family is a curse upon us! Before them, we could live in peace, but
since they started zer crazy experiments, ve've not hahd peash since!

CROWD: What?

MR. MIME: We've not had peace since!

CROWD: Oh... (general muttering)

MR. MIME: I have called this meeting so that we can decide exactly
what we shall do about this... Pokenstein...

(A member of the crowd stands up, a Tauros)

TAUROS: We could send someone to see if he's really doing anything up
there! (All stare at him, and he sits down.)

MR. MIME: No, actually, that may be a good idea. For all we know, he
dug up the body because he wanted some trinket from it. Very well! I
shall personally go and discover what this... Pokenstein... is up to!

(Mr. Mime leaves, and the crowd resumes doing what they had been doing
before he called the meeting: playing poker. Well, what did you expect
them to do?)


SCENE: Dining Room (All but Jynx are seated at the table, eating their
dinner. Abra has calmed down, but still seems distraught.)

ABRA: Well, I guess that's that...

JIGGLYPUFF: Do not fret, Abra. It was just not meant to be.

(Meanwhile, the monster downstairs begins to move...)

RAICHU: Oh well, it was a good try, anyway. Let's just focus on eating
dinner, eh?

ABRA: Good idea. Oh, what do you think of the desert I made?

(A loud growl is heard)

ABRA: Oh, so you like it? Well, I'm not too partial to gelatin myself,
but...

RAICHU: Who're you talking to?

ABRA: You! You just made a yummy noise.

RAICHU: No I didn't.

ABRA: You didn't? Then who...?

(Another growl is heard. The three realize what's going on, and hurry
down to the lab.)

ABRA: Aha! It worked! He's alive!

(The monster moans)

ABRA: Hello there. I'm going to set you free, now. (Releases the
restraints on the table.)

(The monster slowly sits up, rubbing its now-hornless head.)

ABRA: Can you stand up for me?

(The monster slowly gets off the table, looking around in confusion.
Raichu lights himself a cigarette with his tail, and the monster goes
berserk.)

ABRA: What are you... augh! (The monster has grabbed him by the neck,
and is strangling him.)

JIGGLYPUFF: Oh, what should we do?

(Abra signs to her.)

JIGGLYPUFF: 1 word, 2 syllables! First part rhymes with meta... Seda!
Second part... give?

RAICHU: Sedagive!

JIGGLYPUFF: Sedagive? Oh, sedative! (Grabs a syringe with sedative,
and injects the monster with it. The monster stops struggling, and
falls to the floor, unconcious.)

ABRA: (Panting) SEDAGIVE?! Raichu, can I talk to you in private for
a moment?

RAICHU: Uh, sure... (Jigglypuff leaves the room)

ABRA: That brain you gave me... That wasn't Kadabra Mewstein's brain,
was it?

RAICHU: No, it wasn't...

ABRA: Then who's brain did I just put into that... THING?!

RAICHU: Gyarados Abby-someone-or-other...

ABRA: Abby?

RAICHU: Yes, I think it was Abby Normal.

ABRA: You mean to tell me that I just put an abnormal brain, not to
mention a GYARADOS BRAIN, INTO THAT MONSTER?!?!

RAICHU: Yes, I guess you did...

ABRA: I'm going to kill you! (Starts to strangle Raichu, but stops
when he hears a loud and wooden knocking on the main entrance.)

JIGGLYPUFF: Oh! Someone's here! Hurry, doctor, hide the monster!

ABRA: All right... I'll handle the door. Raichu, you help Jigglypuff
with the body, and strap that... THING... down as tight as you
possibly can!

RAICHU: Yes, master. (Waits until Abra's turned his back, then makes
a face at him.)


SCENE: Main Hall (Abra teleports in, and opens the door. The old
constable stops knocking, readjusts his "dead arm", and walks in.)

MR. MIME: Good day, doctor. I am constable Mime.

ABRA: Hello, constable, I'm Dr. Abra, fresh in from Pokemerica.

MR. MIME: Ah, yes, I heard about your uncle's death. Tragic,
tragic... Well, if I may... (Walks towards the game room. Abra
follows him.)

ABRA: So, how can I help you, constable? (picks up a few darts, and
throws them. Almost every last one hits bullseye.)

MR. MIME: (Walking over to darts) I've come here to check up on you
and see how you're doing here... (Notices Abra has his back turned,
and quickly puts all of the darts on bullseye.)

ABRA: I see... Nice throw! (Takes back darts from board.) Well, I
am doing just fine.

MR. MIME: That's good to HEAR! (Abra misses the dartboard, hitting
the wall.)

ABRA: (A bit flustered) Yes, well, it is an odd place... (prepares
to throw again)

MR. MIME: Yes, and it can be... DANGEROUS! (Abra misses entirely,
breaking a pane of glass.) There are rumors that you are...
EXPERIMENTING! (Abra misses again, and hits the window again.)
...with your uncle's... EQUIPMENT! (Abra misses again, and breaks
another window pane. A cat yowl can be heard as it makes impact.)
I came here to confirm this to be... LIES! (Abra misses one last
time, breaking yet another pane, and a slight hissing can be heard
from outside.)

ABRA: (frustrated) Well... I did find the equipment, but I've not
used it.

MR. MIME: Then I would ask for your promise that you do not use it,
ever.

(The monster roars downstairs)

MR. MIME: Shall I take that as a "yes"?

ABRA: Rmmm!

MR. MIME: Very well. Good evening, Dr. Abra... (Exits house, and
gets into car. He doesn't even notice that 3 darts are impaled in
one of his back tires...)

ABRA: Fwoah! That was close!

JIGGLYPUFF: (from downstairs) Doctor Abra! Hurry! The monster is
awake again!

(Abra hurries down, and sees that it's struggling like mad.)

ABRA: Well, at least it won't get out this time... (The monster
breaks the restraints, and gets up) Spoke too soon...

(Suddenly, it stops acting menacing, and starts to sway. The
others hear the odd electric guitar music they heard last night
coming from above them. They look up to see...)

ABRA: JYNX!!! (Sound of a wagon turning over, with a farmer
cursing in Yiddish, heard in the background)

JYNX: Yes! I know what soothes these beasts!

ABRA: Then you were the one who was playing the electric guitar
that night!

JYNX: Yes! (Plays a chord)

ABRA: And that was your can of Jolt Cola!

JYNX: Yes!! (Plays a higher chord)

ABRA: And you left that book out for me to discover!

JYNX: Yes!!! (Plays a higher chord)

ABRA: So that I would...

JYNX: YES, YES, YES!!! (Playing a higher chord each "yes")

ABRA: Then that means you were...

JYNX: YES!!! (Plays a very high chord) I was your uncle's girl-
friend!

ABRA: Ewww! But... what are you doing?

JYNX: I am going to set this poor miguided monster free. It is
how your uncle would want it.

ABRA: Um, that's not a good idea...

JYNX: NO! I will set him free! Go, my friend! Escape this
place!

(The monster is all too happy to comply, and runs right through
a wall, and into the town.)

ABRA: Now look what you've done! Oh, no, who knows what he'll
do out there?


Yes, that's it! And yes, there will be about four MORE parts to it (if I can
find the patience to write that much). And yes, I'm done with this would-be
rant of mine. :) Part 5 will be done, no doubt, in very short order.
