Out of the curtains walked an Eevee with a pair of sunglasses and a Charmander with a sunhat on.

"Hello everybody!" the Eevee yelled, waving. The crowd roared. "People and pokemon call me Olli!"

"And they call me the pizza maniac Sala!" Sala yelled waving.

"Now we have an excellent show for you today," Olli began but was interupted by a Furret who walked on the stage absentmindedly.

"What are you doing here Bruno?" Sala demanded. "Only me, Olli and this slice of pizza are doing the opening today!"

"I don’t know, I seem to have forgotten," Bruno replied.

"Well while your out here why don’t you tell us what the show’s about," Olli offered.

"I’ve forgotten that too."

"Do you remember your name?" Sala sighed.

"Bobo?"

"Who do you live with?" Olli quizzed.

"Smokey the Ursaring!" Bruno cried. Olli sighed.

"Come on Bruno, let’s go refresh your memory," Olli said, leading Bruno off stage. Sala looked at her paw and found it was empty.

"Hey! Bruno! Give me back my pizza!" Sala yelled.

"What’s pizza?" Bruno yelled back.

"Oh my gosh that guy needs help," Sala said. "See you all later!"

|//~~~~~\\|

Bruno was working in Pizza Galaxy, cleaning out the pizza pans when Fred and Neptune walked in, Neptune in two of Fred’s big clumsy hands.

"Excuse me, Bruno?" Neptune called coming into the room. Bruno seemed to ignore Neptune, and hummed away. "Bruno?" Neptune repeated. "BRUNO LISTEN TO ME!" Fred walked up behind Bruno and watched over his shoulder as the Furret cleaned pizza pans and dishes.

"Bruno?" Fred asked. Bruno hummed along to the tape in his Walkman as he dried the large pizza dish and turned around, to unexpectedly come face to face with Fred.

"AUGH!" Bruno shrieked, jumping back and not only dropping the pizza pan with a clatter but also loosing balance and falling into a sink full of hot soapy water. He sat up in the sink, bubbles in his fur and took off his headphones. "What?" he cried. "Don’t EVER do that to me AGAIN!"

"Sorry," Fred apologized.

"Pichu would like to see you," Neptune told Bruno. He closed his eyes. "I am sensing he want’s to ask you a favor."

"Well you know what I’ve got – a favor?" Bruno blinked.

"Yes, my psychic abilities are saying he needs it urgently," Neptune guessed.

"Okay! Let’s go!" Bruno cheered, jumping out of the sink and splashing water all over the floor. Bruno grabbed a towel and began to wipe up the water, as Fred turned around to leave. He slipped on the water, and went flying across the room with Neptune in his hands, and crashed headfirst into a large shelving unit. It tipped, and off it slid 50 pizza pans, all clanging onto the floor loudly.

Bruno looked up and gulped.

"You will have a lot of work to do," Neptune predicted.

"Oh no I won’t, quick let’s get out of here!" Bruno hissed, and ran out the room, followed slowly by Fred.

*

"You want me to take care of the apartment for a week?" Bruno asked in disbelief.

Pichu nodded. "Normally I’d leave it too Fred or Olli or even Sala, but Sala and Olli are away at the beach all ready and I’m joining them. Fred will be going to visit Granny Raichu."

Fred began to sob.

"And I can’t have the place left alone," Pichu finished. "If the place is left alone and people find out robbers might come and steal our stuff. You got to come here everyday and just stay here for half an hour or something."

"Don’t worry, I’m right across the hall, I’ll check in on it for you if you like," Bruno offered.

"I predict trouble," Neptune murmured, flopping on the floor. Fred had dropped him and was still sobbing into his four large hands.

"What’s the matter with you Fred?" Pichu asked. "Don’t you want to go to Granny Raichu’s house? I know you hate it there."

"No… that not upset Fred…" Fred sobbed.

"Then what’s wrong?" Pichu demanded.

"Maybe he has something in his eye," Bruno suggested.

"Maybe he thought to hard and popped a brain cell," Pichu added.

"That’s mean!" Neptune scolded. "The great lord Neptune agrees it’s mean. The reason why he’s crying is because… omm…" Neptune closed his eyes. "He needs… he needs pizza."

"Stop channeling Sala!" Pichu yelled.

"Fred no cry for pizza… Fred hurt toe when he slip at Galaxy Pizza," Fred finally answered.

"But what about Granny Raichu’s house?" Pichu asked.

"Fred remember Fred go to Granny Raichu’s," Fred stopped crying for a minute, then howled and started to wail.

*

"Pichu!" Sala shrieked, seeing Pichu approaching the beach. She rushed over to him, clutching her hat to her head and grabbed his shoulders in a panicky mode. "Oh Pichu its awful!"

Assuming something was wrong, Pichu gasped. "What’s wrong?" he cried.

"They don’t have Pizza Galaxy here!" Sala wailed.

Pichu sighed, and lifted Sala’s paws off his shoulders and stepped aside, leaving Sala to fall into the sand face first. He picked up his stuff and walked on to where Olli lay, ignoring his Charmander friend.

6 days later

"Hey Neptune?" Bruno suddenly said.

"Yes Bruno?" Neptune replied.

"I’m…I’m forgetting something…" Bruno replied. "But I don’t know what I forgot."

"That’s because you forgot it silly," Neptune answered.

"No, it was something important… really important…" Bruno mused.

"Maybe you forgot how to bake cookies," Neptune suggested.

"No, I don’t know how to bake cookies!" Bruno answered distantly.

"That’s because you forgot!" Neptune answered simply.

"What could I have forgotten?" Bruno asked. "Normally I’d go over and ask Pichu if he knew what I’d forgotten but he’s away at the beach for the week… oh no." Bruno’s eyes widened as he gasped and placed a paw over his mouth. "I forgot to check Pichu’s apartment," he squeaked.

"Oh and Granny Raichu called yesterday," Neptune suddenly added. "She told me to tell you that Pichu should be arriving around 5 PM but Sala and Olli are going to be earlier because Sala is having a hard time living without pizza."

"Oh crap," Bruno squeaked. "Come on quickly! We’ve got to get to the apartment!" Bruno snatched Neptune off the couch and ran out the room.

*

"Oh no…" Bruno whispered, eyes wide as a pizza pan. He walked into the apartment and stared around. It was totally bare, nothing but floorboards and white walls. Even the picture of pizza had been ripped from the wall. Even the phone socket had been taken.

"Oh wow! Who’s apartment is this?" Neptune cried.

"Neptune, are you okay?" Bruno asked. "This is Pichu’s apartment! And he’s going to kill me!"

"Why would he do that?" Neptune asked.

"Because I let all his stuff be stolen!" Bruno cried.

"Your dead meat," Neptune replied. "I can sense it. The lord Neptune is sending me a strong signal… Direct message from Lord Neptune – You suck."

"You are so nice, now come on let’s call the police!" Bruno turned and began to run out the apartment and crashed into Sala and Olli in the hall.

"Hey Bruno," Olli greeted.

"Hi Solli, Olla.. I mean Alli, Sola, I mean Sala, Olli," Bruno chattered.

"What’s wrong?" Olli demanded.

"Nothing…" Bruno replied.

"AIEEE!" Sala screamed from inside the apartment. She rushed out and gasped. "MY PIZZA PICTURE IS GONE!"

"What?" Olli frowned and went inside. Bruno tried to stop him, then whimpered outside in the hall as Olli screeched.

"Where’s the mess its too clean!" he yelled. He came out gasping.

"Um… you were robbed…" Bruno broke the news to them.

"I thought Pichu asked you to make sure it didn’t get robbed," Sala frowned.

"He did but as I predicted he caused trouble with his memory," Neptune spoke.

"You know how much Pichu is going to kill you man?" Olli cried. "We got to call the police!"

*

"Your stuff was taken?" Officer Earl asked.

"Yes, was STOLEN!" Bruno panicked. "Can you get it back in um… 25 minutes? OH MY GOD TWENTY FIVE MINUTES I’M GONNA DIE!"

"Calm down," Officer Earl said. "We’ll try our best."

"We won’t get your stuff back quickly go buy all new furniture," the other Growlithe, Officer West replied.

"West! You’re not supposed to say that until AFTER we go searching!" Officer Earl scolded.

"Woopsies," West sheepishly grinned.

"Come on! Let’s get in the car!" Olli cried.

"Let’s go get pizza!" Sala cried with him.

"No we’re going to go get furniture," Olli corrected.

"Aww!" Sala sighed.

"We’ll go through the drive-through later though okay?" Olli promised.

"What are we waiting for?" Sala cried.

"Neptune stay here and try to stop Pichu and Fred from going inside!" Bruno called before running off.

"I can sense trouble," Neptune gravely said.

"You can sense things?" Officer West asked Neptune.

"Yes," Neptune replied.

"COOL! Can I get your autograph!" West exclaimed.

"Come ON West, we have to go find their stuff!" Earl barked.

*

"We’re home!" Pichu cried, stepping off the elevator. "Hey Neptune, what are you doing out here in the hall?"

"Um… I’m sweeping!" Neptune answered brightly.

"Sweeping?" Pichu raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah!" Neptune jumped up and began to flop up and down. "Sweeping…. Eh…"

"Well can you move please Fred and I want to go relax at home," Pichu requested.

"Oh you don’t want to do that," Neptune said, jumping in Pichu’s way. Pichu sighed.

"Why not?"

"Fred want go home," Fred put in.

"There’s… um… a really big bug? Yeah, there’s a really big bug in there!" Neptune said.

"Fred no want go in no more!" Fred whimpered.

"Well then we’ll squash it," Pichu answered, getting angry. "Let me into my own house!"

*

"Come on we have to pick out furniture before Pichu gets back!" Bruno panicked.

"I like this lounge!" Sala cried, jumping up and down on a lounge.

"Get off that! And get out of the staff room!" Olli hissed.

"But I want this lounge!" Sala sniffed.

"Look we have to get the same stuff as we had before!" Olli told Sala.

"What type of chair did you have before?" Bruno asked. "No, what type of bed, no what type of fridge!"

"You can’t get refrigerators in a furniture shop!" Olli cried. Bruno just stared at an Ampharos who was busy carrying a large two door refrigerator out of the shop on a trolley.

"Yes you can," Bruno argued.

*

"Neptune whatever is going on?" Pichu yelled. "I want to get home and I want to get home now! It’s 9 PM for crying out loud! I’m going inside!"
"What about bug Pichu?" Fred asked.

"No don’t – uh oh," Neptune gulped.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Pichu shrieked.

*

"Olli, did you hear something?" Bruno suddenly asked.

"What?" Olli looked up from a catalogue.

"I did I did I did!" Sala cried jumping on the lounge still. "It sounded like Pichu screaming!"

"Oh no…" Bruno winced.

|//~~~~~\\|

Olli walks out onto a stage and bows to a crowd. "Hey everybody! You all know me, and my name is Olli!" The crowd roared in response. "Now did everybody like today’s show?"

"YES!" the crowd screamed.

Behind Olli, the curtains opened and Bruno ran out panting. "You’ve got to help me!" he gasped.

"Did Pichu find you?" Olli asked.

"Yes."

"And what did he do?" Olli raised an eyebrow.

Bruno looked up, still panting. "He gave me a large chocolate milkshake and a 5 course meal plus, he bought me a new sofa and gave me $50."

"Really?" Olli looked amazed.

"No you fool! He is so mad that I’m surprised he didn’t tear out my tail!" Bruno cried.

"AUGH! GET BACK HERE BRUNO!" Pichu screamed. Bruno gave a strangled squeak and ran off the stage. Pichu burst through the curtains and looked around.

"Did you see Bruno?" Pichu demanded.

"Yeah he went that way," Olli pointed. Pichu ran, and tripped over Olli’s paw.

"OLLI!" Pichu yelled.

"See you all next time!" Olli waved before dashing off stage with Pichu after him.
