"Oy! I gotta' use the can!" Luffy blurted behind the shabby wooden door. Identical Pignite guards shot each other an irritable glance before one at the right loosed a submissive sigh. With a clank, he unhinged the lock, lazily peeling the aperture open. Donning an aura of malice, the boar sneered down upon Straw Hat, whom was holding his crotch and tightening his cheeks. "Nature calls, bacon strip!" he mocked, prancing up and down from one leg to the next.
A vein pulsed from the sentry's forehead as he withheld a growing desire to trounce the filthy human and serve him up as next morning's breakfast. "Ornk, I'm not a bacon strip! Now hurry back, we've got our eyes on you young man," the fire pokemon berated with a snort, stepping away and allowing his imprisoned 'guest' to pass. "Down the corridor and to the left, you'll find the pisser." Foregoing room for pause, Luffy hastened down the archaic hall, Flabébé floating urgently behind. "Ack! Bébé you can't come in here!"

"U-Um, my name is Lopunny. Nice to meet you Mr. Clown," the docile rodent bashfully introduced, hugging fluffcuffs against her delicate chin. "Hm? It has a name?" the star clown inquired, tilting his peepers toward Bubble Man and directing an impersonal finger to the bipedal bunny. "That's rude Buggy, she just saved our hides," the aquabot rebuked, shaking his head in chagrin, leaving Lopunny to stand awkwardly mute.
Pip! Pip! Pip!
A plump, ovoid creature scampered toward the group. Creamy, wing-like frills accentuated its shoulders and waist whilst a stainless white overcoat draped over its bulbous physique. "The Royal advisor has awoken! A blood transfusion and resuscitating Heal Pulse from yours truly seems to have done the trick. You may come visit him now." With gleeful fervor, the crew tailed Doctor Blissey to the medical bay. Awaiting them lined a squad of pink-skinned physicians with triumphant spirits, outfitted similarly to their superior.
Slowking lye amidst the gathered caretakers, hoisting himself up into a seated position as his newfound companions rushed in with purpose. A swathe of bandages laced his shelled crown, whose sentient eyes were replaced by proverbial '@' marks, reflecting its benumbed condition. Illuminated with fluorescent beams and vanilla walls, the medical suite's bleak decor was far removed from rest of the chateau. Abruptly, Kilala jostled out of Buggy's cap and onto the patient's lap, expressing a blithe smile. The jaunty little feline proceeded to plop down and curl into a furry ball. "Oh-ho-ho, happy to see you too girl," the psionic pokemon greeted, patting the tyke along the length her back.
"Al-flashy-right! Phew, had me worried for a minute there pinky!" Buggy jested as a dramatically oversized droplet of sweat scaled down his face. I hope the bastard doesn't recall much, like my knife mishap being the reason he's in this whole mess! He pondered, cackling tentatively to avoid suspicion. A lamentable accident, that much was certain, but one best to keep swept under the rug.
Flouncing through the vestibule, Emboar stumbled in, nigh toppling over the collective nurses in his wake. "Apologies, sir Slowking! Had we any idea you were in such a state, we would have granted you entrance without question! I will reprimand Ursaring at once! He's a new recruit, and if I'm being honest a bit of a dunce," the humanoid boar pleaded, provoking the room to fall silent. Scanning the expanse, Emboar's cherry eyes narrowed upon the star clown, crimping his bushed brow.
"What is the meaning of this?! Where did these humans come from?! Who allowed them in here?! Did you filth do this to the Royal Advisor?! Are you the mates of that wretched intruder with the Straw Hat?!" The prejudiced pig bombarded with a slew of demanding questions. His tirade of accusations was hushed by a simple erect of Slowking's palm, effectively tranquilizing the chieftain's tantrum. "That will be more than enough, Chief Emboar. These humans are the reason I still walk among the living," the coral psion persuaded, quelling the portly swine pokemon whom vented with a guttural snort.
Ahh, so he doesn't remember after all! That's a relief, Buggy thought to himself, poised in reprieve, when it suddenly occurred to him. "Wait! Did you mention a Straw Hat? Guys! Luffy must be here!" Red Nose celebrated, equipping a bountifully poignant grin. "He's being held in our dorms as we speak. For trespassing into the colosseum and for eating nearly half the libations for our regal guests tomorrow, I've placed him under guard. He'll be forced to participate in tomorrow's games as punishment."
Without a word, Bubble Man palmed his face in stupor. "Yep, that sounds like our Luffy. You were right on the nose Buggy, no pun intended," the aquatic robot japed, adjusting his transparent goggles. "Pun? Why would it be a pun?! You making fun of my nose bastard bot?!" The star clown snapped in retort, inciting a shrill chuckle from Lopunny. Realizing she snickered aloud, the hazelnut bunny impulsively muzzled her mouth with both paws. Curling a smile beneath his metallic veil, Bubble Man approached the finicky rabbit. "It's you that Slowking truly has to thank. Revealing yourself for the sake of complete strangers is quite commendable."
"Oyyy! Buggyyy! Flippers!" A familiar voice hollered behind, as fate would have it, stealing their attention away. Low and behold, it was Luffy! As if uttering his very name summoned the rubber pirate himself, he charged forth, a stampede of guardsmen hot on his tail. Screeching to a halt, Straw Hat planted a palm to the star clown's shoulder. "You guys made it! Kahaha! This place has great grub! . . . Ah? Porky is here too? And conchy is hurt! What happened?!"
"Argh, the other human! Who released him from his chambers?!" Emboar beseeched as his subordinates barged in seconds thereafter. "Oh! Chief! You're here? S-sorry sir, he had to use the lavatory but then he ran off on his own! H-he stunk up the entirety of the dorm quarters too!" The Pignite officer stammered as his fellow guard mates piled into the room in unison.
"It was epic Buggy! Seriously, it was about thiiiis huge!" Straw Hat described, gesturing his hands broadly apart. "Who asked you to describe your crap, idiot?!!" Buggy scolded in retort, thwacking the rubber pirate over the head. "Oh my word," Lopunny slipped timidly, amused to some degree by the antics of these fresh acquaintances. Her mild slip of tongue caught the flame chief's attention. Perking a brow, he examined the tanned pokemon up and down. Noting his sudden interest, the fluffy-eared rabbit bravely stepped forth.
"Mister piggy, u-um, what exactly is this place? You seem to have some pull here right? You wouldn't happen to know where I can find a pokemon named -" Lopunny was cut off as the ornate proprietor brashly chimed in. "You put your kind to shame, rodent! Aiding these damned vermin and advocating their incursion within these walls! I ought to lock you up too!!"
Fweee!
A high pitched whistle stifled the clamor. "Enough, you hooligans! This is a tranquil place, and Slowking needs rest. All of you, out! Take your bickering elsewhere. Go on, out our!" Blissey commanded, boldly shooing the congregates toward the exit. A gentle soul by nature, however the stout practitioner was not to be meddled with.
"Yeees ma'aaam," Emboar relented, sullenly bowing his head in defeat. Accordingly, the heavyweight trained his red-hot eyes on the band of human scum. "Flame Garrison, escort these troublesome heathens back to the quest lodging and do not remove them from your sight. I highly suggest they rescind their compulsion for tribulation and get a solid night's rest. After all, tomorrow is a big day . . . for all of them! Grahaha!"
"WHAAA-?!"
