A bush shakes. “What is that in the bush?!” he said. A Hurtermon jumps out and throws a stick at Steve. Steve dodges.

  “I’ll catch you!” he said. “Hurtermon!!!” shouted Hurtermon. Hurtermon throws a brick at Steve with paper on it.

  Steve dodges. “The message says… this is a distraction?!” he says. Hurtermon disappears. “I better eat,” he said.

  Steve sits on a rock. He starts eating his peanut butter and jelly sandwich. His Balldex vibrates.

  “My Balldex is vibrating?!” he says. “Incoming call from MOM,” says the Balldex. Steve answers.

  “Hi mom,” he says. “Oh hi son! How you doin’?” says Sue. “I’m doing fine. I’m just eating.” Steve says.

  “Bug! Bug! Bug!” Steve hears. “Did someone just shout bug three times?” asked Sue. “Yes. But maybe I should say something silly. Cow! Cow! Cow!” Steve says.

  “Well I gotta go. Mike wants to eat. Bye!” Sue says. “Bye,” Steve says. Sue hangs up.

  A 14 year old girl named Scarlett shows up. “I’m Scarlett. What’s your name?” she says. “I’m Steve. Did you yell bug three times?” Steve says. “I did. But did you shout cow three times?” Scarlett says. “Yes,” says Steve

  “I have the word scar in my name. Maybe I’ll give you a scar!” says Scarlett. “I’ll give you a scar!” says Steve. “We’ll give you both scars!” Scarlett and Steve hear.

  “What?!” Scarlett and Steve both shout. A group of villains named Team Laser showed up.

  “I’m Bronoyozemo. Age 23,” says Bronoyozemo. “I’m Laser. Age 24,” says Laser. “And we together are Team Laser!” they both say.

  “Scare!” says Bronoyozemo. “In the hair!” says Laser. “What?!” says Scarlett. Bronoyozemo then aims a laser gun at Scarlett’s hair.

  “Do you want a bad hair day?” says Bronoyozemo. Hurtermon then shows up. “What is that thing?!” shouts Laser.

  Hurtermon at that same moment rapidly throws rocks at Bronoyozemo and Laser. “Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!” Laser and Bronoyozemo says.

  “You may’ve won this time but we’ll be back!” says Laser. Team Laser disappears. “So… Do you want to battle?” asks Scarlett.

  “I’m trying to get to the Open Field. But instead of battling, maybe we could team up?” says Steve. “No,” says Scarlett.

  Scarlett then throws a creature ball at Hurtermon and catches it. “But how?!” Steve says. “He didn’t expect to get caught,” Scarlett says.

  Scarlett runs off. The ball dex says “HURTERMON: SEEN, NOT OWNED,”. Steve gets annoyed.

  “If Scarlett never appeared I could’ve caught it!” he says. Steve spots an Aireon. “Poor Aireon! It looks injured!” said Steve.

  Steve throws a creature ball and catches Aireon. “We’ll be friends till the end!” he says. “Hey Balldex! What are the details of this Aireon?” says Steve.

  “UNKNOWN. USE MY SCANNER FOR DETAILS,” says the Balldex. Steve scans Aireon.

  “Age: 2 years. Health: 12%. Fear: 98%. Mood: Scared, Scared, and Scared!” says the Balldex. Steve spots Team Laser in a bush.

  “He spotted us! We must disappear again!” says Laser. Team Laser disappears again.

  The ball starts flying. “Come back here!” says Steve. Steve then grabs the ball and puts it on his belt.

  Steve starts walking around. A cop uses a LiDAR gun on Steve. "You're super-slowing," he says. “The laser pulses hurt. But Super-slowing?! That isn't even grammatically right!” Steve says.

  "That means you are too slow. Speed up. It's the law!" says the cop. "What law?" says Steve. "That law," says the cop.

  "But which one?" says Steve. "The one in article 32," says the cop. "Ah, but there is no law that says you must follow laws!" says Steve.

  The cop gets frustrated. "Therefore I don't need to speed up!" says Steve. Steve walks away. “Fine. If you don’t want to get arrested, I’ll give you a ticket!” says the cop.

  “There is no law that says that if you are walking it is super-slowing!” says Steve. “You probably got confused with super-speeding when you are driving!” says Steve.

  The cop runs off. “Brooooooo!” a kid named Joe says. “What are you doing here?” asks Steve.

  “Well I wanted to go out and have fun in someone else’s business. Oh yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah yeah yeah!” says Joe.

  “You are just an average Joe, aren’t you?” asks Steve. “An average Joe kid,” says Joe. “I like football, cartoons, and my cute little…” says Joe.

  “Stop talking!” Steve says. “But sometimes that ain’t enough to keep a man like me interested! Oh no! No way! Ah nah! Oh I gotta go out and have fun in someone else’s business!” says Joe

  “I know what you are going to say next,” says Steve. “Oh yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah yeah yeah! I drive really slow in the ultra-fast…” says Joe
