Somewhere in Alola

Meowth:*meditating* Oooooom….Ooooom.

*Door is knocked*

Meowth:*groans*

*The cat pokemon walks up to the door and opens it to reveal a delivery person from Alola standing on the other side*

Meowth:*Annoyed* Hey? Can’t ya see I’m tryna be spiritually enlightened here?

Delivery Person:Sorry sir, but it seems that you’ve got a package of sorts.

Meowth:A package eh? Whose it from?

Delivery Person:It says here that it’s from someone from the masked singer staff who wants to give you something to help cope.

Meowth:Cope? I’m not here to cope. I am just here to relax and not worry about what the future of the Pokemon anime series is going to be like without me.

Delivery Person:So you won’t accept it?

Meowth:No, no, I will. After all, who am I to deny a free package?

Delivery Person:Sir it’s not fr-

*Slams the door on the Delivery Persons face*

Meowth:Alright let's see what’s inside this thingamajig…

*Before he can open it however he notices a note attached to the box. It’s a note*

Meowth:*takes note* Maybe this will give me an answer on what exactly is goin’ o with this little gesture. Once that’s done? I can be sure if it’s safe to open. *ahem*

*Meowth then proceeds to read the following note out loud.”

“Dear Meowth,

We hope you're enjoying your little vacation. However, we know this is the last week you’ll get this vacation. When you get back, we’d love to hear all about your vacation. And we can’t wait for you to hear about our new contestants either!

Best wishes,
Wobbuffet, Dudley Puppy, Eddie Noodleman, Linda Belcher, 秦 こころ & The Mon in Black”

Meowth:Aw well that’s nice of them…wait there’s more!

“P.S:If you look inside the box, you’ll find something really...special”

Meowth:Well then what am I waiting for? *scratches open the box*

…

Meowth:*taken back*...No way. This is-

~~~
A theater Somewhere in Burbank

Bugs Bunny:Eh…*bites carrot* What's up doc?

*Audience Claps*

Bugs:Hm, I’m not sure I heard it. Let me say it again…boys?

Song (What’s Up Doc - Bugs Bunny on Broadyway):https://youtu.be/N8IbXsnSkO0

*Audience Claps Louder*

Bugs:*bows* Thank you, you're a great audience. *burrows down to his positon*

Linda Belcher:Alright! Now that is how to hype up a crowd.

Eddie Noodleman:I know, I didn't expect rabbits to be great hosts.

Bugs:Well you know what they say about us rabbits, we’re great for show business. *Starts digging a tunnel.*

Hata No Kokoro:*confused mask* I thought that the saying was that they were really good at multiplying.

Bugs:*shrugs* Maybe, but only if you want this show to be rated MA.

*Audience Laughs*

Bugs:Thank you, thank you I’ll be here all night on this, the Masked Pokemon Toon Singer:Generational Glory. We like to have fun on the show.

Dudley:Yeah, if this show had a motto it would be “Why so serious?”...that is if the Joker would allow it.

Bugs:But it’s no joke that last night the tie was broken. We had 4 masked singer preform, including new singer Banette. They were saved from elimination, but sadly not the Meowstics. Turns out they were weak against not just water, but ghosts and bugs too They were revealed to be Ena and Akito Shinonome from Project Sekai Colorful Stage.

Kokoro:And only Linda got it. *angry mask* Good for her.

Linda:It’s true! Now I’m in the lead with 5 points while everyone else has 4s. Of course, I was just guessing it so I doubt that the badge is in my reach. Honestly I don’t really care about that so much. I just wanna have a good time.

Dudley:You said it!

Eddie:Indeed.

Kokoro:*angry mask*...

Slappy Squirrel:I currently I wish I was having a good time, back at my home, far away from the camera.

Bugs:Oh don’t think we forgot about you hun. Our guest judge, Slappy Squirrel!

Song (Slappy Squirrel Theme Song):https://youtu.be/JKyiAARpKaQ

Bugs:Unfortunatley for you Slappy this is a singing competition.

Slappy:*sighs* Ugh, first a cameo on an episode in the reboots last season, now this. So much for retirement being called the glory years.

Bugs Bunny:I know you may think that this will be a pretty bad night, but at the very end you’ll see that it will be at least mid. It’s the midtones! Our last 4 singers are going to appear. If I remember correctly it’s the Clefairy from Group A, The Dedene from Group B and Group C’s Meowscarda along with a wild card.

Eddie:Not just any wild card, our last wild card!

Slappy:Oh great, just what I needed, a heart attack. At my old age a surprise like that could kill me.

*Alarms blare and a letter ! appears on the screen*

Bugs:I figured you would say somethin’ like that Miss Slappy, so I figured we'd introduce our wild card out of the bat. Consider it a favor.

Kokoro:*nervous mask* I consider it a migraine considering how long that alarm was.

Slappy:*headache* You said it, kid.

Bugs:Now who is this doc? Is it even a doc? I don’t know but I know that they are the Chinchilla Pokemon. I also know that their special ability is either Cute Charm and Technician. But do they think that they’re a cutie pie as well or do they work as a technician? Only one way to find out and it’s to view the clue package for Minchinno.

Minccino:Yes the Minccino may be cute but it wasn’t their design that lured me to the suit. It was because of their hard work they put in. I view myself as a pretty hard worker too. I have to be, considering I was hired by one of the biggest billionaires in my universe to work for one of his companies. Back then I also worked there alongside my uncle, and I’m not ashamed to admit that I had a little bit of a crush on one of my workers. Now I’m the boss of my own job. A job where I can help others find their happiness within their personal tropical paradise. But every boss needs a break. I’m just glad this break isn’t because I’m sick. It may be strange for me to sing and not the visiting DJ, but I think I’m gonna do a good job in it.

Song (Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero):https://youtu.be/VYgguBob4YI

Dudley:Only 90’s kids remember this.

Kokoro:I was born way before the 90’s and I remember this.

Eddie:*confused* Wasn’t the song made in 2022?

Slappy:*relieved* I’m just glad it’s over now. No offense to you Miss. You’ve got a great singing voice. It’s song choice. You’d probably get a golden buzzer on Toon’s Got Talent. Better yet, why not try for America’s Got Talent? You’d definitely get one from Simon Cowell if you get your sob story in order.

Minccino:Thank you Miss Slappy! I’m sorry the song wasn’t to your liking but I’m glad you still enjoyed it.

Bugs:And I think the audience did too! Isn’t that right boys?

Audience:*claps*

Bugs:Now that being’ said you ain’t the only performer here tonight there’s tons of others too. But before we move on to our next one it’s time for a clue.

Dudley:Ooh! What’s the clue.

Bugs:Glad you asked, see we’re going to show you titles of classic cartoons starting either yours truly or one of my friends. This might be able to give you a hint closer to the characters' identities. It could be somewhere in the name or the plot itself. Probably going to be in the name though. Let’s bring out our first cartoon now.

*Bugs hits the button for the projector*

*The logo appears for the cartoon in question*

Bugs:”Daffy Duck's Movie: Fantastic Island.” made in 1983.

Daffy Duck:That's right! I had my own movie with my name in the title. And it was made LONG before space jam.

Bugs:*shrugs* Geez laughing boy no need to get yourself tied up in knots.

Kokoro:*thinking* Bugs might have had a movie before that though…but that’s besides the point at the moment, is it not?

Slappy:You know the island clue makes me think that somehow this character either relates to the tropics, is from the alola religion, or just really likes the beach. That or they did a Gillgan’s Isle Parody, but I don’t think that I know of any cartoons that did that as a major plotpoint.

Eddie:Well, Puppy Dog Pals did in one of their episodes, but I don’t think it’s a character from there.

Slappy:Puppy Dog what now?

Eddie:I’ve got to admit, you're on to something. Infact I think I know which island theyre talking about. The clues mentioned finding paradise, as in Happy Home Paradise. Clearly this is someone from the Animal Crossing series who works for Tom Nook. I think that person is none other than Lottie the Otter. She’s the new boss of her own home designing company after all.

Dudley:I was thinking of an animal crossing character too! But I was thinking it was somewhat else instead. Isabelle, to be exact. She appeared long before the DLC and she is basically like a guide to the player isn’t she? Tom Nook may be the tutorial for miles but this is clearly a feminine voice and she’s been helping the player as an assistant for a long time!

Kokoro:*smiling mask* I agree with you Dudley. I also think it’s Isabelle.

Slappy:Well I don’t know who that is but you remind me of a very young Minnie Mouse. I don’t think your’e that cute little girl though, she’s busy at the boutique all the time and Daisy is out there helping. Instead, I think that you're Betty Boop. After all that whole cult thing way back when with the “wanna be a member” could be your own twisted form of paradise. And, I mean this in the nicest way possible, you’ve got a beach body.

Linda:I mean, I was thinking Wonder Woman from the D.C Animated Series. She comes from an island paradise known as…Femi-mascara?

Wobbuffet:Wobbuffett!

Linda:Oh! Themyscira. That was basically a paradise of women all to her own, and it was an island from Greek Mythology. If it is you, then go girl power!

Bugs:Eh, nice guesses all of you.

Slappy:You don’t have to sugar coat it, they were terrible.

# mean not all of them were but I gotta be honest with you Lynn, that’s not the best guess.

Linda:*shrugs* I know. But I don’t really care about the badge anyways, I’m just happy to be here. *smiles*

Bugs:Well no matter who you are, Minccino is going to be one tough opponent to beat.

Minccino:Thank you!

Bugs:However, unlike you, these performers have performed once before and the audience may enjoy their voices more. Infact, let’s bring our next contestant. Their ability may be overgrow, but will their music grow on Slappy? Let’s get a few more clues to the identity of the Meowscarda from the Group C.

Meowscarda:And now, a poem I wrote entitled “Parallel Quest”
”One day when some took a treasure from a throne.
They went through a looking glass, and I soon followed.
There the world was altered from the world that I had known.
The elements didn’t exist here, but my friends sure were.

Phrontistery began. I remade the friends I lost.
We started to play together with uniting through our songs.
Soon though I took back the thing the day had taken away.
I returned back to my home while the sun had to stay.”
The End. That give you any clue?

Song (TUYU - It Might be Painful but I still Love It):https://youtu.be/K8GZ8SoNfmE

Bugs:Wow, that was a really neat performance. It really tugged on my heart strings.

*Hen then shows an X ray showing his heart and a music note pulling it via string*

Bugs:See?

Slappy:I’ll admit it was better than I had an anticipated but it still wasn’t quite my cup of tea, no offense. You had a great singing voice and I can tell you do this a lot.

Meowscarda:*takes a boy* Thank you, and thanks everyp-...body for getting me here. To think I was the only one with 1 vote!

Bugs:You said it doc. People must really like your voice. But best not to get to carefree now! Especially since its time for our next clue. *turns on the projector*

*Static plays for a while*

Bugs:Give it a moment.

*The static dissipates but instead of a cartoon title Clue Two Prime appears. He’s the original un-mega evolved Mewtwo with the original armor from the Anime, except for a masked singer mask on his chest piece*

Bugs:Huh, I don’t remember this episode.

Cluetwo Prime:That’s because it’s not an episode. It’s a hijacking, a take over even! If only for a little while.

Slappy:Hey hang on I recognize the way you talk aren’t you-

Cluetwo Prime:The original Cluetwo, that would be correct Miss Squirrel.

Slappy:That isn’t what I was going to say but sure interrupt me why don’t you.

Bugs:So you're the one who's been giving these guys trouble with their clues.

Cluetwo:You can say that. I was the one who did the first few after all. But no, the ones in the last episode were due to my…“associates”

Meowscarda:Taking things that don’t belong to you isn’t very nice you know.

Cluetwo:Ugh, please honey, I know what I’m doing. And don’t worry one day I promise that I’ll make up for the steal by giving you a few clues that you cannot resist.

Dudley:Why not now.

Cluetwo:Up sorry can’t hear y-static-seem to be breaking u-static-ev-static- *The screen shuts off*

# I guess we ain’t getting a clue for her. Does anyone have any ideas of their own.

Slappy:Well speaking of someone who only got here I think that it’s Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Maybe the version from the Live Action Disney? Or maybe it’s the bakery version. Look I’m only going off the looking glass clue I’m honestly clueless here.

Linda:Actually Alice was who I was going with too, but not the Live Action one. See in the last episode they received a gift from someone named “Crystal” and you know what crystals are? Clear, just like Looking Glasses. What if it’s the original Alice from the original story who wandered into Wonderland in the original?

Dudley:I don’t know, I feel like we’re forgetting that she “sang a lot” in her “show”. This must be bakery Alice from Alice in Wonderland. The dog could represent the fact the Jabberwocky, which is now a common household pet rather than something that must be slain. And again, the looking glass clue.

Eddie:If you read the whole poem however you start to get things that never happened. The “sun” never stole anything from Alice and she definitely wasn’t Queen of Wonderland. She may have been Queen for a day BUT there’s no Phrontistery in Wonderland. No, I believe that Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz is still the way to go. The gift that “Oz” had was stolen by the wicked witch of the west, where the sun sets. And she returned home like in the original story. And the dog is meant to be Toto.

Kokoro:*thinking mask* But the dog clue from last time, to me, implied they had no dogs where they came from. And dosen’t this story mirror something else? My Little Pony:Equestria Girls? The sun is Sunset Shimmer, who played the Panda on  JohnShepherd90 ‘s version of the show I think that we are dealing with royalty in the form of Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Eddie:Was it a crown that she stole though?

Bugs:*shrugs* Who knows? If the sun is a metaphor, maybe the crown is meant to be one too. That said, one thing we do know is that it was a lovely poem and performance. Now get backstage while we get our next contestant out here.

Meowscarda:Thank you sir, and thanks again for this opportunity to perform.

Bugs:No prob bob, *ahmem* Now then whose our next contestant. *examining* Hey this guy looks like Speedy Gonzales! Wonder what ever happened to that guy? I don’t know but what I do know is that this mouse has the ability of Pickup. *flirtaious* An ability I think I have a better grasp of. But then again what do I know? Clearly not their idenity. Maybe we can get some more hints in the Clue Package of Dedenne.

Dedenne:I understand that in this show we’re all about privacy, and I love that! After all, I've got tons of stuff that I prefer to keep…classified. But considering how close I was to elimination last time, I’m worried that my secret-secret identity will be revealed far too soon. So before you vote me off just think of the children. The three…no four innocent children swept away by the waves that will definitely happen when I get eliminated. Do you want that to happen? Want me to go back to my hula dancing wife and tell her the bad news? That I’m outta here?
…
Hmm, I don’t think your’e as susceptible to suggestion as the ringed king thinks I am. Luckily I have hope. And not in the cliche way. I mean in song form. Hit the music!

Song (NF-Hope):https://youtu.be/4tkvuaA0nak

Bugs:Wow! That was an epic song Mr.Dedenne.

Slappy:I think I got a migraine from all that yelling.

Dedenne:Trust me if I were a lion I’d be lookin’ out right about now because I imagine that a purse slap would be coming.

Slappy:You would be right if I had brought it with me. But no. No attacking contestants allowed apparently.

Bugs:Well hopefully this classic cartoon will help cheer you up, or at least give you a clue to who you need to whack when this is all over.

*He then the button for the projector*

*No Cluetwo issues this time*

Bugs:Eh, *munches carrot* “Frigid Hare”

Slappy:Hey I know this one! Isn’t that the one where you helped a baby penguin get back home to Antarctica?

Bugs:Your’e absolutely right!

Slappy:Well it’s not that penguin obviously, he couldn’t talk. Also I think that he’s a she now. Good for her.

Eddie:*thinking* Maybe it’s another penguin or other Antarctic creature then? It mentioned being swept away by the waves so it could be the Cody Maverick from the Surf’s Up series. I know it wasn’t a musical but I also know for a fact that he was a surfer, explaining the swept up by the wave clues.

Dudley:I don’t remember him being “part of a team” though. He was in a competition alone…I think, though I can’t exactly be certain.

Dedenne:Yes, you can’t be certain. I’m just an enigma to you.

Dudley:...Ramblings aside, I think your original guess of Skipper from Penguins of Madagascar has some more merritt. He mentioned “Private” and “Classified” which are both names of characters in the movie.

Kokoro:*nods in agreement* That is correct. And they are penguins. So that suits the clue. And the plot was that Bugs wanted a vacation. Madagascar is all about world travel.

Linda:Now hold on! It could just be that they’re from a land of snow and not an actual penguin. Also the penguin in question was a broadway star were they not? Maybe they relate to musicals too. Or at the very least they’ve been to New York or a big city. If that’s the case maybe the real person behind the mask is none other than Dr.Freeze from the Batman series? He has Ice Powers if I remember correctly and a wife. A wife that was frozen forever. Water is the liquid form of snow and ice which Antarctica has a lot of.

Slappy:Hey those are some good points. However, I do have another guess that might be a better one. The Narrator from Central Park, Birdie. His voice actor, Josh Gadd, played a major role in Frozen. Also, you’ll never believe this. The show Central Park takes place in New York, which contains Broadway. And it’s a musical so there’s that.

Bugs:Wow, I’m surprised. How did you know about that?

Slappy:Skippy has been getting really into Apple+ lately. That’s all. The show itself isn’t really for me, but it was made by the same creators as Linda over there so that is certainly something.

Bugs:Well no matter if your guesses are right or wrong, Dedenne was certainly a star tonight.

Dedenne:Thank you. Now if you’ll excuse me I’ll be heading back stage to get some well earned…me time.

Bugs:You don’t need to say anymore doc. *looks at watch* My, look at how fast the time goes when your’e having fun.

Slappy:*sarcastic* If “fun” feels like eternity, boredom must be the key to immortality.

Bugs:Well luckily for you doc, this is the last singer of the night. AFter that you can go home and enjoy your retirement to the fullest.

Slappy:Good. And can someone get me some nuts while I’m up here. If I’m gonna make it through this I may as well have a full stomach to do so.

*As she says that the MIB arrive with a tray of nuts*

Slappy:Thanks. Get some buttermilk while you're out there too.

Wobbuffet:*salutes* Wobb Wobb!

Bugs:And while they’re getting that we’ll bring out our final contestant, from Group B back to Group A. Ironically their name starts with C. They also have the ability of Magic Guard, but does this mean there’s something, or someone that they’d be willing to protect with their life? Or is it the magic part we should be looking at? Only the Clefairy knows for certain, but we can figure out who they are thanks to a clue package. Roll it.

Clefairy:Having trouble with doorbells or flat tires? An anniversary is coming up and you don’t even have a song picked out yet? The perfect picnic you planned has been ruined? Well then you better call the “Fairy Fixers” today. Our professional team of me and my friend -COMMITTED- will make sure that your problems can be solved in 12 minutes or less. Heck we’ll even solve 2 problems in 24 minutes or less, for just 19.61 cents. You know what? Scratch that. 6.99 at the least. We won’t clown around on you, and my schedule with the R.C shouldn’t be affected all that much. We’re available 24/7 but only if you have a subscription to N. Remember call the “Fairy Fixers” today. What are you waiting for? Go!

Song (The Merry Macs - Marezy Doats):https://youtu.be/Gjlh9HWBOik

Slappy:Now that’s what I call music!

Clefairy:Thanks! My grandmother showed me this record when I was younger. I like the wordplay here.

Dudley:What the hecks a kidledivydo?

Bugs:*explinaing* Well you see Dudley, Mares eat oat and goats eat oats and little lambs eat ivy. A kid will eat ivy to wouldn’t you?

Dudley:I’d eat almost anything right about now!

Bugs:*sighs* Well you tried.

Slappy:This kid? They may not be the next Marlyn Monrone, but they’re going places. They might even win this thing. Not putting any bets on anything though.

Bugs:Good choice. You’ll have to place a bet soon though, on their identity. It’s time to reveal the final clue! Let’s hit it! *The cartoon is shown*

*No issues are seen yet again*

Bugs:Eh, *munches carrots* “Farm Frolics” from 1949. Wonder what that could mean.

Clefairy:Well I myself don’t live in a farm but my friend used to own one that was full of…I don’t think I’m allowed to say.

Bugs:Interesting, so this clue wasn’t relating to her but a friend.

Linda:Well…I mean, there isn’t any rule against that.

Kokoro:*smiling mask* Yes this rule is nice and valid. And only adds onto my belief of who this is. That guess is Tag Barker from Go Dog Go. The friend in question is Schooch Pooch who used to be a farmer before moving away from his old home to Pawston.

Eddie:*nods* Also the book that the show was based on was released in 1961. That explains the price of 19.61 in the clue package.

Linda:Oh that is a good guess! But I still think that it’s Nermal from Garfield. The Lasagna clue from last time won’t leave my mind. Not to mention that the comic first debuted on the 19th of June. 19 for the day, 6 for the month and 1 for it being the first.

Dudley:I still say it’s Arlene! I mean she’s pink like Arlene and Linda’s clue is true, but also remember that she also debuted in a year starting with 19. Also she had her name revealed a name later, explaining the “one’ at the end. The six could represent a cat's tail or a missing tooth.

Slappy:I don’t know, I sort of think Linda has the better guess out of you two. But being honest I don’t really care that much about who, I’m just going with my gut and hope that I can return back to my new retirement tree.

Bugs:Slappy always was the most honest toon I know.

Slappy:Again no offense to you kid. In fact, here’s looking at you for havin’ the best performance of the night.

Bugs:Well while you might think that’s the case our viewers may say otherwise. Theyr’e the ones who have to vote after all. Like the host before me said, Here’s how to do it:*scientist names* First type the names of the 3 you wish to save. The first name will get 4 votes in their name, the second will get two, the third gets 1 and the unlisted perrson gets-*spins into a Willy Wonka Outfit, then angrily yells* NOTHING! Good day sir.

Dudley:The one with the least amount of votes will be eliminated and be forced to unmask, while the other 3 will move on to the Nimbassa Nine.

EVERYONE:SO VOTE WISELY!

Slappy:And hurry it up too! I can’t take any more of the singing.
