Starters - Lavender Town: The Untold Story

Well, here we are. Lavender Town.

Yes, finally.

Awesome. Oh.

Oh, good. I'm getting so crammed in this

car.

Yeah, same here. Oh, and there's so many

cool things you can do in Lavender.

I can't wait to visit Pink Eye Park.

Yeah, I know. Mom, you know why they

call it that, right? The rides are so

scary. You [ __ ] yourselves on them. Oh.

Oh dear. What's wrong with your friend?

It looks sick. Um, just a little car.

I'm going to puke. I got to puke. I'm

going to puke. Hey, Dad. Do some donuts.

Okay. No, you're not. Pull over. Just

one.

Okay. We're pulling over now.

I'm going to get you some water. Okay.

It's okay. I got this. Um, excuse me.

Can I have some water, please?

Oh, sure.

[cough]

Come on. It's only water.

I'm sorry. Don't worry. I'll clean it

up.

I'll leave it. I'll get around to it

eventually.

No, it's fine. I can do it. Bulbasaur.

So, what brings you all out here out of

the outskirts of Lavender?

Oh, we're on vacation. Too bad you

aren't.

I wish. This town's awful. Why vacation

here? Especially with your kid.

My kid? No, it's my son's friend.

There's more.

Yeah, two are in the car.

Three kids. Haven't you heard of the

frequent reports of child abduction

here?

Child abduction?

Pokemon's children go missing here.

Loads of them. Yeah, like five new ones

each day.

Did Did you know anything about this?

Nope. Nobody ever finds the bodies and

nobody knows what's causing this. I'd

send your kids home if I were you.

Oh,

why didn't you listen to the Simore?

Well, we're not driving 6 hours for

nothing.

They were heeded a grave warning.

But they didn't listen.

Syndicquil, stop it.

Oh, Bulbasaur, quit being so paranoid.

Nothing's going to happen. Oh,

everybody, we're here.

Yes. [screaming]

Wait.

So, what do you think?

Um, it's

that all of you like it. Kevin will

never leave it.

What?

Well, if there's crazy nut jobs running

around, we better spend our vacation

indoors.

Come on, help us set up the Xbox.

Well, how long can this day get? I'm so

bored. Yeah, I know. It ain't that bad.

We're staying here for 2 weeks. The

first day hasn't even ended yet. I wish

I stayed home to do the exact same

thing. Hey, at least we're allowed to go

outside at home.

Huh? Hey, why aren't you doing anything?

Because there's nothing to do. You doing

anything interesting?

Oh, by far. We're about to leave.

What? Really? Yeah, just the two of us.

There's never anything about adult

abduction, so we're safe. You kids

aren't, though. You'll have to stay

here.

That ain't fair. Don't leave us alone.

Please.

Well, I'd rather do anything than mope

around with you losers. Bye.

Sneak out.

Yep.

What? We're supposed to stay here,

though. This place is boring. What about

the pedophiles on the loose? Like, tons

of kids go missing here.

They won't attempt to take us. We're

going to be in a group, right?

What if your parents come back? Or what

if we save them while we're out? We're

already getting the worst punishment

possible, though. It's not about the

punishment. It's about the stress and

anxiety they have to go through looking

for us.

Um, yeah, I guess you're right. We'll

stay, I guess.

All right. I'm still going to Pink Eye

Park, though. Tempe, no. We're wasting a

perfect opportunity, though. Come on.

Let's at least explore a little.

You're alone. We don't care.

Don't say that.

Okay.

[ __ ] I'm coming with you. Huh?

Yeah, of course. I'm coming, too.

Oh, all right.

What's going on?

a party. Awesome.

Um, okay.

Hey, great party.

Hey, I don't know you. Oh, hi. You must

be the new Pokemon. Good to see you. Oh,

god.

Yeah. Hi. Hi. Tig, don't touch those.

They may be tainted.

So, this right here, this party, what's

the occasion? Oh, we're just celebrating

your guys' arrival.

Okay, I'm uncomfortable. Let's go back.

Oh, come on, Bulbasaur. We're just

having some fun.

How did you know my name?

Uh, lucky guess.

Bulbasaur, calm down. You look tense.

Here, want a drink of water? I'll loosen

you up.

No, I'm good.

I just heard about the child abduction

reports around here and we're kind of

sneaking out. So that's why he's

agitated.

Child abduction

probably.

Children often run away from this place

mainly because of the rumors this place

stirs up.

You know, stuff like mass suicide,

sacrifice to the old underworld,

loopy stuff like that.

We've lived here all our life and

nothing has happened. Just because this

town's built on a burial ground doesn't

mean anything.

Hey, where did Teepe go? I don't know.

Guys, guys, what? I found Pink Eye Park.

It's right there.

Come on, hurry up.

Yeah. Come on, Bulbasaur. Let's go.

See you later. Hope we meet again.

Cute children. Too bad ours wasn't like

that. Yeah, at least she's out of her

hair now.

The title.

Look how high it goes. This is going to

be awesome.

Um, guys,

what?

Back there

after you guys left,

those two said something strange.

Weren't they already? Don't listen to

them.

I overheard them, but it kind of sounded

like they were glad their child was

gone. Like it was missing. And maybe

they are the cause for it.

Weird. Hey guys, look around.

There's no children here.

You're right. Everybody can be behind

something. Like lavender is the dumping

ground for children when the parents

don't want them anymore. What if they

sell them for slavery or they kill them

for fun?

Bulbas are everybody's staring at us.

We need to go back.

Okay, we'll go back after one ride.

Everybody's staring.

Shut up. We're going on the ride. WE'RE

GOING TO HAVE A GREAT TIME. IT'S GOING

TO CALM you down. WE'RE UP NEXT. COME

ON.

OKAY, NEXT.

Come on, Bulbasaur.

Scaredy-cat.

Okay, get on.

Yeah, hang on a sec. Maybe we should

skip this ride. We're not group with

Bulbasaur anymore. No, we'll group up

after the ride.

Hurry up. Hold in the line.

Okay.

Oh,

[sighs]

here. You're going to be okay.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to make you feel better.

Get away from me.

What? Hey, kid. Hold on. I'm only here

to help.

Let go of me.

Listen. Calm down.

What is that?

It's the happy wheel. Look at it. Your

troubles will go away.

[screaming] Help. HELP. SOMEBODY

NOW. Stay down for one second.

Let me explain

where to go.

[laughter]

What?

What? What happened? Oh,

[panting]

hello. Anybody?

Hey. Hey. Over here. Hey.

[panting]

Who just touched me?

Oh [ __ ] Who's touching me? Stop.

Please.

[laughter]

That was awesome.

Did you [ __ ] yourselves into Quill?

Actually, I didn't. Don't you get a

reward for that?

We got to go on again, but this time

with Bulbasaur. He's got to try this.

No, we're not going to do that again.

Come on. It's awesome. He's got to at

least ride it once in his life. Whoa.

Hey, look over there.

Go away.

[laughter]

Hey, not not cool. Give him some space.

What happened?

Just walked out of the bathroom saying

that.

Pull the door. Snap out of it.

What are you guys doing here?

What happened to the park? Oh, Ber, take

it easy. Um, why are you acting crazy?

I'm I'm getting touched.

Like what?

I don't know. I don't care. I just want

to go home.

That's it.

Where are we going?

We're going back to the cabin.

No, I don't think it's there anymore.

Officer, who touched you?

I don't know who touched me, but it felt

like a lot of them. Kevin, this is your

fault. It's going mental now.

Shut up. I didn't know. No, you knew

there were smelly cooks in this town.

No, Bulbasaur ran away. He would have

been fine if you went with him. I know

he's insanely cautious in any

circumstance. You, on the other hand,

need close attention 24/7. I'm not

stupid.

Yeah, you are. You're a [ __ ] [ __ ]

Guys, guys, stop. Stop. Please. Why' you

do that? Don't look at me. Bubs is the

one that needs help. Cate, you're making

this difficult. I'm not trying to. Just

nailed me in the freaking head.

Call [ __ ] We'll just call my dad's

cell.

Hey, wait. Why are we going over there?

No. Please stop. Stop.

Well, hey, kids. What can I help you

with? [panting and gasps]

Calm down. Yeah. Yeah. Get us a phone.

Hurry.

The reason?

Um, Syndicquil,

what are you doing?

We're trying to help you.

Guys, stop it. You're seriously freaking

me out.

Where are you going? Tell this guy what

happened.

It's a hung corpse.

Hey, what's the matter with him? He

ain't being nice.

It's because he's almost gang raped.

Call the police.

Huh?

What? All right.

No. No. It has nothing to do with rape.

Yeah. He just got touched by that group

of Pokémon over there.

But

there's no one here.

What kind of touches?

Kid talking to you. What kind of

touches?

Hey, kid.

Bulbasaur. The guy's talking to you.

Hey, Bulbasaur. Oh, there goes another

kid.

Bulbasaur, wait.

No. No. Come back.

Tapping.

We just lost Bulbasaur.

Oh [ __ ] We should have never went out.

You see how much trouble we are now?

Son, is that you?

What are you doing out here? It's

dangerous.

Where's Bulbasaur?

What happened? Did he stay back at the

house?

[laughter]

He's gone. It's all my fault. [laughter]

Yeah. Okay.

Calling the rescue team won't help. They

haven't found any of the other children

that were missing here. I'm trying my

hardest. It's my fault. I left them

unsupervised.

How are the fusels going to react to

this? I don't want to know. We'd lost

their kid.

Okay, I'm going out. I'm going to look

for him.

Yeah, me too. Okay, fine. We'll both go.

Okay, you two, we're going out. We're

going to look for Bulbasaur. Okay.

No, let us out. It's scary in here.

I've gone crazy. I've gone crazy and I

know it.

What am I doing? Should I go back?

Should Should I

What's this?

What? Uh uh um. Hey. Uh can I can I use

your phone? I I think I made a mistake.

What do you need it for?

Hey, what? Oh, no. Not another one.

So let me guess. Parents died. You came

across here.

What? No.

Then what is it?

You look like

So you are alive. Your parents didn't

drop you off here, did they?

I'm sorry. My parents.

I just Are you related to the NA queen

and the NA king of this town?

Nobody's living in this town, kid.

Although at one point my parents did

live here.

They're dead.

But I spoke to him back at the town an

hour ago. They aren't dead.

Yes, they are. A couple months ago, I

saw them both get gutted out by a group

of sadistic Pokémon. Shortly after, they

forcefed their insights to me until I

passed out.

I didn't need to know that.

Yeah, you did. Why do you think I'm here

in the first place? Get lost.

Arena, be kind to our visitors.

Oh, hey, it's you. What do you need?

Follow Hypno. Ignore this douchebag.

Come inside. Not going to hurt you.

[snorts]

Welcome to Hypno's Orphanage.

The happiest place in Lavender Town.

These are my children.

[laughter]

Okay, everybody settle down. We have a

visitor. This is Bulbasaur.

[laughter]

Oh no.

What's wrong? [laughter]

What's wrong? You cold? Here, a hug

might make you feel better.

Okay, we'll just have some tea instead.

Aaron, can you bake us some tea, please?

Yes, master. Uh uh.

Go ahead, drink it. The tea will calm

your nerves.

It's okay. I I don't need any.

Okay, take your time. Well, it'll cool

eventually.

I want to leave.

No, no.

Stay a while.

No, no. I I need to My friends are

probably looking for me.

And

a

And

you're creepy.

I'm not creepy. I'm a real nice guy.

See, all the children around here love

me. Even the arena.

So, you're running the orphanage.

Taking care of children is my talent.

I know you might find that weird because

I grabbed you earlier.

Where'd you see him?

In the abandoned amusement park.

What were you doing there? Abandoned?

Yeah, it's been like that for a while.

When I saw you in the bathroom earlier,

it looked like you saw something tragic.

What happened? Someone close pass away?

What have you done to me? I'm seeing

[ __ ] now.

You're seeing things the way they are.

The park was normal until you came

along.

Normal?

The thing you pulled out earlier? Are

you making me see things?

See what?

You screwed up everybody here, too.

Bulbasaur, calm down.

Why did you kidnap these children and

brainwash them?

Bulbasaur, sit down and drink your tea.

Sit down and drink your tea.

[panting]

Oh, Bulbasaur. No.

I guess he's sick. Here. Go inside. Make

him some tea just in case he comes back.

You go to it.

Finding anything cool? Yep. A jar of

teeth in this Evil Dead looking book.

How about you?

I found a Ouija board and a collection

of snuff films.

[laughter] I wonder what the previous

OWNER LOOKED LIKE.

WHAT WAS THAT? THE DOOR. TAPPING. That

might be Bulbasaur.

Awesome.

Hey, is there anybody in there? Are you

sure they're home?

Oh, we got to pick up the piece.

We need to find at least one of them.

Remember, last resort, the orphanage.

Yeah, but only for this one time.

Hey, look. There's that Bulbasaur kid.

[laughter]

Hi, Bulbasaur. Did you hear about the

festivities we're having tonight?

Huh?

Hey, Bulbasaur. There's another awesome

party happening soon. Want to come?

Everything's

free.

Hello.

Anybody here? Bulbasaur, you're okay.

Yes. Tbig. Teig, where are you?

Under the floor.

Oh. Oh.

What happened? Why are you down there?

We're being punished because you ran

away. Oh, I'm sorry. Where'd you go?

I don't know, but I found the missing

children.

Really?

Yeah. Here, hold on. I'll get you guys

up. Oh, where's the ladder?

Want us to help you look for it?

Who Who was that?

What was what?

Oh, he can't even see us.

You think he knows?

Maybe.

Should we take him?

We should. We can just leave them for

backup until we get the parents.

Hey, Bulbasaur. Who's up there with you?

Nobody. I'm the only one up.

[laughter and screaming]

Let go. WHAT'S GRABBING ME? BAS

[crying and laughter]

let me go. Let me go. [laughter]

Please.

[laughter]

Where are you? What do you want of me?

What do you want with me?

Should we change back his vision?

We'll do it later.

[music]

No. Please don't start the car. Don't

start the car. Please. No. Stop it. Stop

it. [laughter] Stop the car. No. No.

Please turn it off. Turn it.

[laughter]

BULBASAUR, WHERE ARE YOU?

OH, this can't be real. But it is.

STOP REMINDING ME. BULBASAUR, WHERE ARE

YOU?

We'll find Bulbasaur. I know.

Hey, wasn't that just Bulbasaur?

There's the parents.

Help me.

[laughter]

The [ __ ] happened?

Detach him.

Hey, Tyloion. What's going on?

[screaming]

[groaning]

[screaming]

[snorts]

[gasps]

Great. obtain the map.

Hey, we'll let the kid go. Hypno, what a

surprise.

You got the parents

now. Spare the child. Look, Hypno, we

got the adults. Yeah,

you poisoned them both. They'll be dead

before the time.

This is already all for nothing.

That's why we're still bringing the kid.

No child should ever suffer through

this. Please let him go. We've all been

through this. He'll be okay in the end,

just like us.

You are not okay.

[laughter]

Look who's talking. Yeah. What happened,

Hypno? You're the guy who started this

thing. Just give the parents an

antidote. I'll take the kid.

We got to tight schedule.

Yeah, we still have to set up the

torture devices.

Give me the kid.

[groaning]

Oh, [clears throat]

no. Please forgive me. I just got a

little mad there.

Oh, shut up and let him die.

Oh no.

[screaming]

Kids, calm down. I'm okay.

What are you doing?

Who are you? I'm him though trying to

help you.

What did you do to Bulbasaur?

I couldn't do [clears throat] anything.

He was kidnapped.

Yeah, we kind of saw that part.

He didn't even see them coming. They

They just grabbed him and he didn't even

notice.

Well, I kind of hypnotized him so he

couldn't see any ghosts.

What?

Oh. Oh, yeah. Everybody in this town's a

spirit caught in limbo.

Aren't spirits invisible, though?

It's just an illusion. Oh, of course.

Yes. But to keep the illusion up, they

have to sacrifice an innocent every

Fortnite.

Oh no, they're using Bulbasaur for this.

Maybe they got the Bulbasaur kit on

backup.

The two tyloans are the ones that are in

real big trouble.

What? Oh my gosh. Oh crap. Oh, Tig, we

got to go now. Oh, don't go. It's

dangerous. What? They're Pokémon I care

about. I'm not going to let them die

over this stupid sacrifice [ __ ] It

keeps the spirits alive. Oh, who the

heck cares? They're already dead. They

should just live with it.

How dangerous is this mission?

Oh, pretty dangerous.

Oh, CG. Wait, wait. [laughter]

I know something that could help.

What?

[sighs]

What do you want?

Hey, look who's awake. Good. Now you see

us.

Oh, what is this? Let me go.

No, you're going to miss the surprise.

Now, what do you prefer? Eye gouging and

face impaling or cut in half starting

from the bottom

with a buzz saw? Yeah, with a buzz saw.

Or you can have this one. The Dloans are

having this one. [gasps]

Roller coaster fun.

None of them. [laughter] Please let me

go.

Here. Why don't you look through the

book? You choose what you want.

Okay. Roller coaster fun it is. You

know, we're being nice enough to let you

choose your own death, son. So you don't

have to be so up in our alley, you know.

Hey, shut up and tie him onto the roller

coaster. Yes, master.

What is this for? Tell me.

It's town tradition. You'll understand

when you're older.

Bulbasaur, you're okay.

No, I'm not. I'm going to die.

But we all are. Aha. All three. Taking

on the big ones, huh? Yeah. Well, it's

going to end in 20 minutes. Why not just

wait till everybody gets here? Whoa.

Good idea. Well, you got 20 more

minutes, so say whatever you want to

say.

I [laughter] I I'm too young.

I I don't want to die.

Bulbasaur,

it it's all right. It's going to be

quick. You're not going to feel it.

You're going to It's going to be all

good. And when it's all over, we'll all

be in a better place. Nope. In this

town, you feel every bit of pain. And

you could stay limble with US FOR ALL

ETERNITY. [screaming]

UM, SYNDICQUIL, where are we going? This

place is a bit creepy. We're supposed to

drop by Hypnos's orphanage. It's weird.

He He He showed me where to go with that

stupid little pendant thing. Well, there

it is.

Oh, wow.

Hey,

what do you want?

We need to talk.

Make it brief.

Oh, we will. See, we're kind of in a

hurry.

Let me guess. Your parents are going to

get sacrificed and you need our help.

Yeah, pretty much.

[gasps]

[sighs]

I'll do it only at one cost.

What?

Give everyone here professional therapy.

Oh. Oh, sure.

I see the skinned bodies hanging in the

forest have disappeared. Hypnos spell

must have worn off by now. We can

finally see those bastards that killed

our parents.

Everybody, vengeance hour, grab a

weapon.

[music]

[screaming]

[laughter]

Are you READY FOR WAR? YEAH.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT,

WAIT.

WEAPONS?

SERIOUSLY? WEAPONS?

You know these are ghost, right? The

dead. They They don't feel pain.

Yeah, they do. Shut up. Wait. Stop.

Stop. Stop. Hey, hold on.

Tap it.

Well, this ought to be interesting.

Nearly 5 minutes left. Then we get to

start the roller coaster.

Why do you need all three of us?

Well, why not?

At least let the kid go.

No, we're not sure if you're going to

make it. Your husband's not doing so

good.

Oh my Arus. [laughter]

No.

Keep in there.

[laughter]

[laughter]

Oh, that's cute.

Hey, you

But mommy and daddy need to do something

very important soon.

No, don't do it.

Nidarina, we need to. If we don't, we'll

go away.

You know, we're only doing these awful

things just to see you again. Um, yeah.

No,

you'll never go away. You won't.

You'll always be with me.

Are you just saying that because you ate

some of OUR BODY PARTS?

[laughter]

CLASSIC MEAT ARENA.

Oh no.

Come back.

Please stop.

Oh, you [ __ ] little children. I'm

going to [ __ ] kill you.

It It feels awful.

That's a spirit.

Get it, spirit, because you are one.

[clears throat]

[laughter]

It doesn't count.

What? You killed me at the wrong time.

No, I just did it. This is the hour.

You actually killed me a couple hours

ago

when I was trying to take the kid away

from you.

Remember?

Yeah. Yeah, we're okay.

What? Oh, no. Not again.

Hey, you. There's children down here.

Call somebody.

Oh, okay.

Kids, you call this just in time. Your

parents are going to make a full

recovery.

Oh, thank God.

Wow, Bulbasaur, this is going to be one

hell of a story when we get back home.

Mhm.

No more vacations.

Hey, Nidarina. Um, I wouldn't be that

close to the hole if I were you.

So, where am I supposed to go now?

Parents dead.

hypno dead and there's a giant portal to

hell in the middle of nowhere.

I I don't know. I don't think I'll ever

be able to get over what just happened.

I don't know.

Just be happy you're alive.

Yeah.

And not cursed,

huh?

[music]
