Chapter 51: The Masked Hypnotizer of Cinnabar Island

Matthew was infuriated. The ticket he received when he booked his flight to Fuchsia City from Cinnabar Island had misprinted and made the 1 in the 1:25PM Departure time look like 7:25PM. Brian had boarded the flight as he should’ve, leaving Matthew alone with no money to escape, and no Water Pokemon to take him across to Kanto Mainland. “Blast! I shouldn’t have traded my Gyarados.” Matthew said to himself. Suddenly, a group of people ran past Matthew, screaming as they go past.
“Aaaaah! He’s coming! Look out!” said the crowd.
“Hey you!” said a man pointing to Matthew. “Get off the streets! He’s coming!”
“Who?” asked Matthew.
“Oh no!” said the man, looking behind him, and running off.
“Uhh...” said Matthew to himself, as a tall shadowed figure in a mask walks up to him. In his right hand he held what looked like a blue, round musical instrument. He rose the musical instrument to his mask’s mouthpiece and played it.



When the song was finished, Matthew suddenly felt extremely sleepy, and against his own will, he fell asleep.

“Huh? Where am I?” Matthew asked himself as he came to. He noticed he was tied up, but not gagged in the mouth, and instead of a dungeon room, he was in a poshly type house with regal furniture. Suddenly, a door opened, and in walked some person.
“I’m here to untie you, and try whatever you can to avoid him.” said the person, as he walked up to Matthew and untied him.
“Who is he?” Matthew asked.
“He calls himself an assassin, but instead he hypnotizes people and kidnaps them.” the person said.
“He uses that musical instrument to hypnotize?” Matthew asked.
“Yeah, it’s called an Ocarina.” said the person. “Be careful of his spells.” he finished, but promptly vanished with the blink of an eye.
“... How come all the weird things happen to me?” Matthew asked himself. He saw a door in the room, and opened it. On the other side of the door was... the outdoors of Cinnabar Island. “I gotta find a travel agency...” he said looking around the streets. All of a sudden, Matthew heard the roaring sound of a Pokemon cry.
“LIZARDON!” said an overhead Charizard, with the Masked Ocarina Player riding it. “Lizar!” said the Charizard, who blasted fire all in the sky.
“Ugh!” said Matthew, pissed off to see him. The Masked Mystery Person put his Ocarina to his mouth.
“Oh no!” said the women, as they knew what he was going to do.



As if he were controlled like a puppet, Matthew started dancing around uncontrollably, hypnotized at the music. It just made him so happy he couldn’t help but dance. As the Masked Player flew off, the spell wore off.
“Ohhhhh!” said a frustrated Matthew, he just wanted to get out of Cinnabar Island and continue his journey. “I’m gonna stop you!” said Matthew, taking out a Poke Ball and throwing it.
“Farfetch’d!” said Matthew’s Bird Pokemon.
“Farfetch’d, use Fly to carry me up there, we are going to chase that Charizard!” Matthew commanded, and Farfetch’d started Flying and Matthew grabbed its legs and was carried.

Farfetch’d was able to catch up with the Charizard and the Masked Man. “I’m going to get you!” said the reckless Matthew.
“I don’t think so!” said Mr. Mask, and he played his Ocarina.



When he finished the short tune, Matthew and Farfetch’d instantly fell asleep, and was falling from the sky, until The Masked Person’s Charizard grabbed them.

Matthew came to, and found himself laying on a Pool Table. “Where the fuck am I?” he asked as he got up.
“Welcome to the Pokemon Mansion!” said the Masked Voice. “The purpose here is for me to fuck with you!”
“Are you the Yahoe?” Matthew asked. “Or the Psycho?”
“Yahoe? Psycho? What have you been smoking?” the voice said. “Nah dude, I’m somebody you probably know, but figuring out my identity is going to be half the fun!” and then suddenly.



The song played through the PA. Matthew instantly felt happy and started dancing. When the song ended, he stopped and had an angry look on his face. “STOP DOING THAT!” screamed an angry Matthew. He grabbed a Poke Ball and looked at it. “Let’s go Nidoking!” he said, tossing it.
“Nidoking!” said Nidoking.
“Break down the door Nidoking!” Matthew commanded, and Nidoking smashed down the door and the hall was on the other side. “Where are you!” Matthew shouted.
“Come and find me!” the voice said.
“You’re in the basement! Nidoking, Dig, now!” Matthew ordered, and Nidoking plowed through the floor and into the basement.
“Hey! That was cheating!” the voice said. “Better teach you a lesson!” Just then, five Magmar appeared.
“Ah fuck!” said Matthew. “Nidoking, try Earthquake!”
“Nido!” said Nidoking, and with brute strength, he smashed the ground, cracking the areas around the Magmars.
“Magmar!” said the Magmars, and in retaliation, they each blasted a Heavy Flamethrower attack to Nidoking.
“Grrr!” said Matthew, as Nidoking was heavily seared. “Why did I trade that Gyarados?” he said, regretting his recent decision, then suddenly, the Magmar’s were no longer there.
“Ah-hahhhaaahhhaaaa.” a laughter echoed, and from the shadows of the dark basement, came the Masked Mystery. “Are you having fun?” he asked sarcastically.
“Why are you doing this?” Matthew asked angrily, and then he tackled and grappled the Masked Man, pinning him to the ground and leering at him stringently.



Matthew interrupted the song and grabbed the Ocarina and smashed it. “Ah! What have you done!” the Masked Dude asked, in a tone like Julia Child, and then he poofed into smoke and vanished.
“Huh? Where did you go?” Matthew asked, and then a visible stairway was lit up, a neon Exit sign pointed it up. Matthew recalled his Nidoking and ran up the stairs quickly.
“Nyaaaaaah!” Matthew heard a neigh when he reached the ground floor. The front door was open and a Rapidash carrying the Masked Rider had just ran out.
“Get back here!” Matthew commanded, but the Masked Assailant ignored. “Ungh!” he angrily grunted, and chased. “Let’s go Venusaur!” Matthew said, tossing a Poke Ball.
“Venusaur!” said Venusaur.
“Vine Whip, Grabbed the man!” Matthew commanded, and Venusaur shot its vines and grabbed the Mysterious Person. Once again, Matthew pinned him to the ground and gave him a stringent leer.



Matthew once again grabbed the Ocarina and threw it onto the ground, smashing it. “Who are you?” he finally asked, grabbing the mask and ripping it off.

The Masked Ocarina player was none other than Blaine, the Gym Leader. “Kid, you’ve been taking this thing way too seriously. This is just a stupid game we play!” said Blaine.
“Yeah, it’s lame in this isolated island.” said a civilian. “This is just our way of having fun!”
“What?” Matthew asked.
“Rapidash, I hereby ban this kid from Cinnabar Island!” Blaine said, and Rapidash Jump Kicked Matthew and Venusaur into the sky.
“Yaaaaaaaaaagggggghhhhhhhh!” Matthew said, as he flew off into parts unknown.
