A Human World Book/Part 12

Later that day in another part of the jungle, the sky had turned into a dark gray. Thunder sounded in the distance in a barren wasteland. Nothing grew in these parts except for tall grass and barren trees. There were also many rocks and pools of swampy water. In the center of it all was a barren tree with a meerkat, a warthog, a frog, a gecko and two mushroom people sat on the rock. Their names were Timon, Toad, Pumbaa, Frogger, Yoshi and the only female of the group; Toadette. As they were sat on the rock while cleaning their skins or stood around looking bored, Timon yawned. He soon turned to Frogger and nudged him saying, "Hey Frogger, what are we gonna do?" "I don't know," Frogger answered, "What you wanna do?" Toadette soon stared at them rolling her eyes as she said to them, "Oh boy, every day it's the same thing. Why I hang around you peabrains I'll never know." "Oh Toadette," Pumbaa responded to her, "Why don't you just Toadettel." "Very funny," Toadette said as he rolled her eyes at him, "Very funny Pumbaa." "I've got an idea though," Pumbaa said, "Let's flap over to the east side of the jungle. They've always got a bit of action, a bit of a swinging scene. All right?" "Ah come off it Pumbaa," Timon answered, "Things are right and dead all over." "Ah you mean you wish they were, eh Timon?" Pumbaa responded. As Pumbaa said this, all of the others laughed except for Toadette and Toad. "Humph, males," Toadette said. "Hey, that's a low blow Toadette," Yoshi said in response to this after cleaning his wings. "More to your skulls than your big beaks, Yoshi." Toadette answered. Soon they were all laughing except for Toad. "Very funny," he said. Soon, Timon turned his attention back to Frogger. "Okay," he said, "So what are we gonna do?" "I don't know," Frogger answered, "What you wanna do?" "Look Frogger," Timon said irritated, "First I say 'What are we gonna do.' Then you say 'I don't know, what you wanna do?' When I say, 'What are we gonna do' you say 'I don't know what you wanna do?' 'What are we gonna do,' 'What you wanna do?' Let's do something!" "Okay," Frogger said in response,"What you wanna do?" Sighing, Timon just responded by saying, "There you again mate, the same notes again." "I got it!" Pumbaa said once more, "This time I really got it." "Oh you have have you?" Timon said to him, "So what are we gonna do?" "Hold it everyone," Toad said, "Look what's coming our way." "Hey," Yoshi said as they all looked at what Toad was looking at, "What in the world are those things?" They all looked and saw Susie, Melanie, and Paula as they roamed the wastelands after traveling through the jungle all day. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I don't believe it. Two human beings; a boy and a girl....together here in the jungle," Toadette said excited as she sighed blissfully, "Isn't this romantic?" "I'll say Toadette," Toad said, "It's not everyday you see a beautiful sight like that." "Yeah," Timon agreed but soon went back to talking to Frogger, "So what are we gonna do?" "I don't know, wha-Hey, now don't start that again!" Frogger responded. "Come on fellas," Pumbaa said as he flapped off of his perch, "let's have some fun with these two." "Fun?" Toadette said with concern, "Oh no, somehow I don't like the sound of that." The group of bravaries soon flew down to the four as they sat on a rock looking down at the murky and swampy water. Toadette soon sat herself on another rock as she saw the other five ran over to the group. As they all approached the four surrounding them, Frogger responded, "Hey, they've got legs like a gecko they have." "Ah yes, but they haven't got any tail they ain't." As they laughed, Paula just ignored them while Susie and Melanie had puzzled looks on their faces. "The girly girl looks a lot thinner though," Yoshi said examining Melanie, "and she has two bumps on her chest too." Offended, Melanie gasped while smacking Yoshi across the face saying, "Well I'd never...leave us alone you crazy boys!" "Easy Melanie," Susie said, "These guys aren't worth it." "Well, we may not be worth it," Timon said to Susie in response, "But our buddy Dogadon sure is, just be Yoshi he's not around these parts just yet." "Dogadon?" Toadette gasped thinking to herself, "Oh no....don't be too rough with them now." "Who's Dogadon?" Susie and Melanie both said. "What's dogadon to do that?" Paula said. "Dogadon's our close personal friend," Pumbaa answered, "He's like a bodyguard almost." "Bodyguard?" Susie repeated. Melanie gulped when she heard this, she didn't like the sound of that. "You'll know soon enough little ones," Frogger said to them. "Just climb up that huge pile of rocks over there," Buzz said to them pointing to what looked like a huge pile of boulders, "and you'll see Dogadon." "Go ahead," Pumbaa said. "Unless you're afraid," Yoshi finished. Prepared to make these buzzards eat their words, Susie and Paula climbed up the rocks. "Susie wait," Melanie said trying to stop them, "This doesn't seem safe. I never met this Dogadon before, but he doesn't seem like the type to get angry." "Relax Melanie," Susie said, "If I can make friends with any pokemon in the jungle and handle a huge seviper like Kaa, then I think I can handle this guy." "Oh be careful up there," Melanie said as Susie and Paula made it to the top. "We will Melanie, besides we're not afraid of Dogadon." Susie said back. "Say that again," Timon called up to him, "and louder, so everyone can hear you." "I said WE"RE NOT AFRAID OF DOGADON!!" Susie called down. "Yeah, you said it!" Paula shouted along with him. As soon as they said this, the pile of rocks and boulders they were standing on started to rumble and shake. Then it started to snort and bellow. Susie and Paula jumped off. The four soon saw in horror that this wasn't rocks, but a huge dragon. They soon figured out that this very creature was Dogadon. Dogadon soon snorted and angrily said, "Duh, eh, who said he ain't afraid of Dogadon?" "He did," Timon said to Dogadon pointing Susie. However, Dogadon didn't see where Timon pointed at and just looked around. "I'LL CLOBBER HIM!!" Dogadon shouted snorting. Susie and Paula shivered at what Dogadon just said while Melanie shivered along with them. "Don't worry you four, he ain't got all his marbles," Timon assured them. "Marbles?" Susie and Melanie said both in unison and confusion. "I have too got all my marbles," Dogadon said, "Just listen!" With that, he shook his head back and forth violently making a hollow rattling sound. Chuckling, Dogadon responded, "Big ones ain't they?" "What did I tell you," Timon said to them, "Besides, he's as blind as a bat." "I smell human girls, duh, where are they?" Dogadon said as he sniffed and snorted the air then turning to Frogger, "Hey froggy, point me in their direction will ya?" "We're right in front of you!" Susie said, "What's wrong with you?" "Easy Susie," Melanie said, "We don't wanna anger him." Dogadon soon saw a blurry vision of two humans as he moved his head seeing them behind. "Ah, hiding behind that post huh?" Dogadon cheekily said. Dogadon soon drew a line in the sand and smiled mischievously at them. "Oh kids!! He's challenging you two to a fight, Pumbaa said in excitement. "You should do it!!" Timon excitingly said. 'No they should not do it,' Toadette thought to herself. She and Toad didn't like what was happening, but they wanted to see how it was going to play out. "What," Susie shouted, "No way!" "Yeah! We're not gonna kill ourselves over this guy!" Melanie added."Aw come on, step across.....I dare you!!" Dogadon said, "You know you want to." "I'm pretty sure we don't want to!" Susie said. "Me too!" Paula added. "Well if that's the way you feel," Timon said before instantly pushing Susie and Melanie over the line plopping them on the ground. "Hey!" Susie yelled. "Are you crazy!?!" Melanie shouted. "Look Dogadon!!" Timon said pointing to the ground, "They stepped over the line!" "Oh no," Toadette said covering her eyes. "I can't bear to watch," Toad replied, "But I have to." Susie and Melanie got up while Paula helped them get up to their feet. They soon saw Dogadon angrily snorting and backing up while rearing his head and digging his feet in the dirt. As the four saw Dogadon starting to gear up for some action, the others soon got ready for the show they've been waiting for. As Pumbaa conked Yoshi's head making a dinging sound, Dogadon soon charged after the four. "Duck Melanie!!" Susie said as they ducked out of Dogadon's way. A clueless Dogadon had no idea that the four ducked out of the dragon's path, causing him to bash into the others. Three of them made it out, but Frogger was not as Yoshi. Frogger soon got a poke in the butt from Dogadon's crest and was flung the opposite way, though he wasn't seriously hurt. In confusion, Dogadon saw blurred visions of leaves flying all around him. "Duh, leaves?" Dogadon said, "Human girls don't have leaves." Run guys!" Susie said as he, Paula, and Melanie ran away from the dragon. "What just happened!?!" Dogadon asked. "Don't worry Dogadon," Timon said as he and the other others pointed Dogadon in the direction the four were running, "There's going to be a round 2 to this fight!" As they got the precise direction, they pushed Dogadon towards the direction of the four and he charged after them again. They turned and saw that the big dragon was picking up so much speed and angrily staring them down. "LOOK OUT GUYS!" Melanie yelled as they got out of Dogadon's way. CRASH!!!!! Dogadon soon slammed head first right into a rock wall and thudded loudly onto the ground. Soon, Susie and Melanie got up from the ground as Paula did the same. They soon saw that the dizzy dragon got up into a seating position, his nearsighted eyes looked dizzy, and the tip of his crest looked bent. The four wanted to leave and were angry at what the others did to them, but they couldn't help but feel sorry for the poor dragon. Then, Dogadon started to sob and cry. "My face, it hurts so bad, duh, hu, huh," Dogadon cried, "And my crest, look at my crest!" "Are you okay," Melanie said caring for his crest while Susie looked at his head. Softly crying, Dogadon said, "My face hurts and my crest is bent. You two didn't have to hit me so hard." "We didn't hit you," Susie said, "The rock wall did, that's why your crest is bent." "You'll be alright," Melanie said to him, "There's nothing too serious here." "Good one!" Paula said to Dogadon giving him a thumbs up. The big dragon smiled at the four as he cheered up saying, "Well at least I still got my marbles." Then they all just laughed at what Dogadon just said as Dogadon stopped crying and laughed along with them."Aw well mates," Timon said, "Come on let's go pick up the pieces." Then as they went to where the four and Dogadon were at, they saw that the four did in fact beat Dogadon as they saw he had a bent crest and was sitting on the ground. "Well I'll be," Pumbaa happily said, "The new kids punched Dogadon right off the scene!" "Come on guys let's go meet the new champions!" Timon said to them. As they flew down to there the group was tending to Dogadon's massive collision with the rock wall, they saw that they walked away from Dogadon as they went to another boulder and sat in their spot.
