Centiskorch Facts

(Art by akadako on Danbooru)

-The scientific name for Centiskorch is "Centanguis Ignus." Centanguis is a combination of 'Centum' meaning 100, and 'anguis' meaning snake/serpent. The rough translation for this is "Hundred-serpent flame"

-Centiskorch become a lot more aggressive after evolution, which can be a big change from Sizzelpede

-Centiskorch are actually very good mothers and, unlike most bug types, will stick around to protect their eggs and raise their young. They'll make a burrow underground and wrap their bodies around the eggs to keep them warm

-Centiskorch are arthropods, making then related to pokemon like Galvantula, Ariados, and Krabby. Their closest relative is scolipede

-Because of their flammable bodies, Centiskorch are often used for cooking in high class restuaraunts

-Their flammable bodies also make them do very well in the cold weather

-Unlike many other bug types, their blood is a medium orange color instead of white or red

-The only thing that Centiskorch truly fears is water, as they have to burn all their gasses to keep become dry again, which leaves them temporarily unable to hunt

-Centiskotch have small ocelli asking their bodies, which help them see better in dark places

-Centiskorch prefer to make their homes on mountains, volcanoes, and sandy deserts

(Art by nagimiso)

-Centiskorch will give warnings before they attack, where they will stand up and make their body very hot to where you can feel it from 10 feet away. If that happens and you don't have any pokemon with you, please turn around and walk away

-Their eyes glow in the dark

-Centiskorch become hotter when they are angry

-Centiskorch can lay 15-100 eggs in one litter

-A group of Centiskorch is called a skorching

-Centiskorch are very important to the ecosystem of Galar, keeping the population of bugs from growing too large

-Centiskorch have been known to start small bush fires to capture the escaping pokemon for their next meal

-Centiskorch have long life spans, being able to live up to 50 years. This number is even larger in captivity

-Ribbon dancing with ribbons that look like Centiskorch was very popular in Galar in the 1500s. It's still common today, but mostly with pokemon performers

-While they were hunted by bird pokemon as Sizzelpede, these bird pokemon are now hunted by Centiskorch

If you're curious, here are some Sizzelpede facts!

(images here incase the listing goes down)

your blog has made me want to look for water games and as i was browsing ebay this. found me.

spongebob waterful game. you probably already know this exists and its 70 dollars on ebay australia. but still.

also what makes you want to focus more on spongebob games specifically? do you just think there will be a lot of then bc its a popular tv show with an ocean setting?

listing here

I believe that game is a reskin of the Kahootz reboot of Waterfuls, it’s one of the latest SpongeBob water games!

Personally, I’m a big fan of older SpongeBob! I know I know, everyone my age says that, but it really does hold a special place in my heart. Even taking the nostalgia goggles off, I have such an appreciation for that massive little cartoon and what it did.

And luckily for me, there are a good couple of themed water games about the little guy, and they’re all really really neat.

Firstly there’s these guys! The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Krusty Krab water game and 2 pineapple games I haven’t been able to find the names for. All 3 are the same brand and are merch for the 2004 movie. All are also electronic in some regard, mainly for sound effects. Them being electronic is actually what inspired me to make that a second category. I usually find electronics in water games silly, but I’d actually argue it’s a good choice here, cartoon sound effects for a cartoon themed game is a great idea! I’m always a big fan when a toy maker takes the concept of a water game and really puts their all into making something unique, and these don’t disappoint!

This guy would be the Waterful 2 Player SpongeBob SquarePants Condiment Island game from 2006. This game could very well be the last 2 Player model released, which is pretty cool. You toss a Krabby Patty around and try to catch it. What’s not to love?

And who can forget the Wendy’s Kids Meal SpongeBob SquarePants House Party Patrick’s Water Game? Hooooo that was a mouthful. This one’s from 2002, making it the oldest here and possibly the very first SpongeBob themed water game! Kids meal water games are always so charming, this one’s particularly silly to me. I’m not even sure how you play it! Do you pull that pink tab to do something or do you just shake him until the pieces fall into place? I can’t wait to find out.

There’s others too of course, but these guys are pretty high on my list.

[the-account-i-dont-talk-about]

(Chapter 2/29) When SpongeBob opened his eyes he was in his own bed. How did he get back home? was it just a dream? “Meow!” Gary cried from from downstairs, “What’s going on Gary?” He replied walking down the stairs. Gary turned the tv on with one of his eye stalks and switched it to the news “Breaking news!” The anchor announced “A giant tentacle monster is attacking sleeping bikini bottom citizens!”. Oh no. “Police cameras have identified footage outside the home bikini bottom resident SpongeBob SquarePants.” Oh no. Sure enough when they played the footage, it was a giant Squidward, slowly and gently lifting him into his house through his bedroom window. He quickly turned the tv off, “Well that answers those questions.”. He fed Gary before heading off to work, maybe he could ask sandy why Squidward was giant, I mean she is super smart. “SpongeBob me boy!” Mr Krabs shouted as SpongeBob walked through the door. “Are ye okay? Are ye hurt? Can ye still work?!”.“Mr Krabs I’m fine, It’s just Squi-”. Mr Krabs quickly clamped his claws around his lips, “Not so loud me boy.” He sternly whispered. He dragged him into his office with his claws still firmly on his lips, only releasing after he locked the door. “dward. Why did you do that?” SpongeBob finally finished. “I cant have me customers know that I hired a monster!” Mr Krabs stated in hushed anger, clamping his claws above his head. “Mr Krabs, Squidward isn’t a monster!” SpongeBob retorted. “Squidward ain’t a monster, but what it turns into when February rolls around, is!” Mr Krabs stated matter-of -factly, SpongeBob was angry but he just wanted to make some krabby patties. “Look, Mr Krabs, we can talk about later-“ “No! We talk now! I can’t be losing me best fry cook! Don’t go near it again!” SpongeBob stormed out, he needed to leave before he said something he regretted. Work went by as usual with a failed plankton attack. After work he went straight to Sandy’s treedome, hoping to find some answers. “Sandy,” SpongeBob said while entering the treedome, water helmet firmly on, “can I ask you something?”. “Sure thing SpongeBob, what ya need?” Sandy patiently responded. SpongeBob was arranging the words in his head so as to not give away too much about his situation. “So I have this friend,” doing great so far, “his name is,” he paused for a moment “Bobsponge.”. Sandy won’t suspect a thing. “He’s having some trouble because his friend, Octward, is being made out to be a monster,” Sandy looked at SpongeBob smugly. “But my friend, Bob knows that Octward wouldn’t hurt a fly, so he’s really mad that people are freaking out just cause he got bigger!”, He was unintentionally getting riled up. Sandy put her hand on his back to calm him down. He took a big breath and continued. “So anyway, my friend thinks that you might be able help them by telling them why squids grow during February?” Sandy looked at him, smiled and said “Is the friend you?”, SpongeBob hadn’t given any indication it was him so he was a smidge surprised, but at the same time relieved that he didn’t have to hide it. “Yeah.” He said, hanging his head. Sandy giggled to herself, “Alright, I think heard about this in one of my marine biology books!”, she said, heading into her tree. Banging and clanging were heard before she stepped out with a giant book almost as big as her! “Aha! He we are!” She exclaimed flipping to a page about squids. “Due to squids being solitary creatures, they will often grow to large sizes to find mates easier, with the larger squids being more attractive. Due to being larger targets they grow extremely aggressive to non squids.”. Well that explains the size. “Wait, then how come he wasn’t aggressive to me?” SpongeBob retorted. Sandy paused and thought to herself about it for a bit, scratching her head. “Maybe we could run some tests! A good experiment will really Dill my pickle!” Sandy excitedly replied. “I mean, help us figure out why he wasn’t aggressive.” She said, quickly correcting herself. “Tomorrow we’ll see just what is going on.”

Completed May 30th, 2016, with the same team DO YOU SEE MY STRUGGLE DELETING THIS NOW????? I CAN'T JUST THROW AWAY ZAC'S MEMORIES LIKE THIS 😭😭😭😭 THOSE ARE HIS PRECIOUS POKEMON..... i wonder what caused him to sell the game like this anyways though, especially given i bought this cheap at the local gamestop in a town no one lives in several years ago before moving back to germany.... Maybe he got tired of it and wanted to move on, especially given the majority of his pokemon he owns aren't in that box... He seems to have used quite a few cheats as well!! Either way, i wish there was someway to transfer or store this data so it can be kept safe... :( and so i can be allowed to start a new game lol

[oveliagirlhaditright]

I 100% understand people's complaints with the Wendy's Spongebob collab going on right now.

But going into it knowing that it was going to be disappointing, I actually liked the "krabby patty," namely the special sauce on it. But more than, I thought the pineapple mango Frosty was pretty good.

[poke-entomology]

A Tentacool Story

Chap 4: In which our nameless hero shall remain unnamed... No he won't get one anytime soon, I have a name, but he doesn't get it!

Chapter 4: Can't escape the cool

'Prof! Get your lazy butt over here!' *splat*

'Your student is in serious need of assistance!' *splat*

'Wouldn't it be bad if the last person who saw me before I went missing was you?' *splat*

'Damn, ran out of mud balls.'

As the Tentacool began rolling up more mud along the bank, the professor, who didn't even seem to notice the ever growing trails of mud near the lake, wandered about the ruins much as he always did. So obsessed with research.

'Been a few days now, and these damn noodle arms of mine are still seriously bad at throwing! I'm sorry human arms, I'll never underestimate your practicality again!'

'Ah, but I've got my daily routine. In the early mornings when the professor gets here, I throw mud! Hopefully one day I'll have made enough to create some kind of message that not even a foggy brained old man like him can't ignore... though with my current arm strength I've only been able to make a single "H"... without the middle line.'

'After that, I make up a few more balls and catch any fish that happen to wander by. Only a few though, can't risk overfishing in this lake. There's only so much to go around and about two dozen other pokemon to share them with! Although I guess the Goldeen are mostly just eating the weeds that grow around here. But I don't wanna take food out of those Magikarp's mouths if I can help it... they outnumber me 13 to one.'

‘In the evening I usually swim around and try to figure out how this body of mine works. I can swim just fine! Well, I can swim as fast as a newborn of 5 days at least. Hey! I'm still growing! Can barely use a few moves though, so I'm no good at battling just yet. Not that I make a lot of enemies living this quiet life.'

'Oh yeah, speaking of which, here comes this a-hole.' Right on time, a Krabby passes by. It's a trainer's pokemon, I think. A neglectful trainer, most likely, judging by how poorly behaved it is.

The crab snatches up more fish than it can eat, using it's claw to bash any pokemon that wander close enough. Many of them bear scars from trying to fight it away to protect their limited food source.

'I really hate that guy.'

'But forget him! Escape is my number one priority!' Finishing up crafting tomorrow's mud, the jelly man leaves them by the bank to dry and goes about swimming practice. Today's breakfast would be a light one, the pokemon around here are looking thinner than usual today.

'I wonder... how long can this last?'

[adobe-outdesign]

Have you reviewed Krabby an co.?

Krabby is a crab, which I'm sure is a very shock revelation to everyone reading this. While it's not the most unique crab Pokemon's ever come up with, it's at least got a nice aesthetic to it; there's something inherently appealing about the shape of those angular claws and the way the face is stylized. The simple counter shading, with a cream underside and red top and claws, also makes it read clearly despite the relatively complex design.

The only thing that bugs me about it are the random circles on the bottom carapace. They're less noticeable on the in-game models where there's not literally lines separating them, but they're just an odd detail that doesn't quite fit with the otherwise angular look.

Kingler does that Gen 1 thing where the 'mon is two stages and it just gets Bigger instead of really changing things up in a noticeable way (other examples include Muk, Rapidash, Electrode, etc.). With that said, it does look quite nice; the eyes are delightful and I love the jagged, toothy bottom jaw and multiple head spikes. The larger right claw also references fiddler crabs, and while I think Clawitzer did a more interesting take on them, they still work well here. I personally wouldn't have minded a more drastic design change than just "Krabby But Butter", but this is suitable if you like that kind of evolution.

If Krabby is fine and Kingler is pretty good, then g-max Kingler knocks it out of the park. I honestly think this is one of the best g-max designs, as it works both conceptually and visually. (I wouldn't have even minded it as a third evo, though the proportions might've needed tweaked.)

First, the mere fact that its based off of Japanese Spider Crabs; they have, quoting Wikipedia, "the largest known leg-span of any arthropod", making this an absolutely ideal pick for a g-max design.

And secondly, I love how it looks visually. The exaggerated limbs and the sheer spikiness of it pushes it much further into "monster" territory than the original design, as do details like the "teeth" in the claws (accurate to IRL crab claws). It's terrifying in a good way.

Some other nice details include spikes only on the larger claw to draw attention to it, the red eyes, the deeper orange color for higher contrast, and the extra joints in the limbs, which, once again, are accurate to IRL crabs.

The only thing I hesitate a little on is the beard. Crabs do produce bubbly foam through their mouths, something referenced in Krabby's original 'dex:

It also makes sense as a sort of visual pun; it's a "king crab", which is the name given to a genus of very large crabs. Plus, it adds something fun and unique Kingler's otherwise very straightforward inspiration.

However, it does feel just a bit too rounded compared to the spikes and angles of the rest of the design (the official art negates this a bit by giving it a similar shape to the inside claw teeth), and something about it just feels too jokey and forced compared to the otherwise very cool and creepy body. I think it might just be the mustache that does it; if it were just the beard, it would be more believable as crab foam and much more naturalistic.

Also, there's a bit of orange on the bottom half of the large right claw that adds nothing, though that's a very minor nitpick.

As a whole, Krabby is fine, albeit plain; Kingler, while still straightforward, is slightly more fleshed-out and is an overall improvement. The g-max is fantastic and the best design overall, with a more interesting "monster-y" design and a great concept.

Ideas for my own Pokemon x Twisted Wonderland fanfic Part 2

Wild Pokemon that Appear in Twisted Wonderland Part 1

I know that many TWST x Pokemon fanfics are having plagiarism issues, so I plan to do some canon divergences and I am doing my best to avoid my fanfic from being too similar to the current fanfics out there. All the pokemon listed were carefully chosen for the story and at the time of writing this (to my knowledge), were not used in other works and any similarities are purely coincidental and not intended to plagiarize.

Rosebud: A baby Bulbasaur that hatched from an egg that was found in the Heartsyble flamingo pen the morning after Alexia showed up. Since it obviously wasn’t a flamingo egg and no one at the time knew about Pokemon, Riddle decided that the dorm would take care of it until it hatched and then decide what to do once they found out what creature it was.  Duce was more than happy about this, Ace considered it an annoying extra chore, Cater thought the egg’s pattern and the mystery of what could be in it would give him good clicks, and Trey noticed that the egg brought out Riddles softer side and convinces him to keep it. So when Rosebud hatched, he becomes the dorm's baby.

Nuka: a Trubbish that was found by Ruggie’s younger siblings and some street kids. (I will give a better description in another page)

Cashmere: A Lillipup that was found by Crewel and mistaken for a stray dog ( I will give a better description in another page)

Tick: A wild Moralull that appeared in the Savannaclaw dorm during the Magic Shift Arc and was attacking Savannaclaw students. (I will give a better description in another page)

Ebi and Kani: a Corphish and a Krabby that became partners with Jade and Floyd

Omnomyte: I have not decided a name yet. A shy Omnomyte that became partners with Azul due to their cephalopod nature and Azul’s memories of hiding in his octopus pot like how Omnomyte hides in it's shell.

Goliath: A wild shiny Charizard that appeared in the Valley of Thorns during Winter break and nearly froze to death until it was saved by Malleus. His name is a reference to the main character of Gargoyles. Everyone (including Malleus) mistook him for a dragon and neither Alexia or Goliath have the heart to correct him, so it’s a bit of a running joke.

Bagon (I haven't decided a name yet): A wild baby Bagon that hatched from an egg that was found by Malleus and Goliath. Due to his nature and being a baby, Bagon is prone to headbutting people and jumping off things making him a bit of a troublemaker. This caused Malleus to be a bit overprotective of the baby dragon until Alexia explained that Bagon is trying to practice flying and Lilia told them that Malleus used to do the same as a baby. This led to Malleus and Alexia to form a flying team with him and Goliath carrying Bagon and Alexia riding her Aerodactyl.

Hypno: this is a bit of a mini-villain Pokemon that began causing trouble by hypnotizing students to sleep and eating their dreams. While it did have a battle between Jade and Jamil, Alexia beat it in the end, but not through a Pokemon battle. Instead, she punched it until it was unconscious and chucked it into another portal.

Drampa: A wild Drampa that got sucked into an Ultra Wormhole. He met with Elliot the Dragon (from Pete’s Dragon) and was directed to the forest near NRC and was later found by Alexia and Cheka (who was visiting) who were exploring the forest (which caused the students to freak out).

Stantler: A family of Stantler (a mom, dad, and 3 babies)  got stranded in Twisted Wonderland in the forest of NRC. Due to being in a foreign land and worried about their babies, the Stantler parent began using their Antler Hallucinations on any student they saw which led to many students getting lost and a rumor about fae traps in the woods. This especially became a problem during Beanfest, with so many students hallucinating and wandering around, no one could properly focus on the game and it eventually became a hunt for the rumored Fae setting the traps which led to Diasomnia being targeted. Eventually, Alexia and the Diasomnia dorm found out it was a family of Stantler and a truce was made.

[bethanythebogwitch]

Welcome back to my series covering the real life origins of all non-fish aquatic Pokemon. Today we will be finishing generation I. See the first part of Generation I here and the fish of generation I here.

The Krabby line are crabs. There’s really not much more to them than that. Well Kingler having one claw larger than the other is a reference to several species of crab with that trait, perhaps most famously the fiddler crab.

(image: a male fiddler crab)

Fiddler crabs, of which there are many species, have evolved a form of sexual dimorphism where the male has one claw that is much larger than the other. Males use their claws for sexual selection, both by waving the claw to attract females and fighting rival males. The crown of spikes on it can reference many spiny crabs, especially the king crab.

(image: a weird looking hedgehog king crab)

Gigantmax Kingler’s massive size and long, spindly legs could be a reference to the Japanese spider crab, which has the longest legspan of any crab. The bubbles are there because crabs will blow bubbles over their gills while on land.

Starmie and Staryu are stylized starfish and much like real starfish, they are radially symmetrical and can regenerate any lost arms as long as the center is intact. Real starfish have such efficient regeneration that if you cut one in half, as long as enough of the central disc in intact, you will get two starfish.

(image: a starfish)

Starmie and Staryu are heavily implied to be aliens, meaning they are likely also a reference to the common five-pointed star and shooting stars. Starfish have been compared to aliens before due to how strange they are to our vertebrate-centered view of life. Most starfish have five arms like Staryu, but a few have more, like Starmie (they still have 5 radial body segments, just more than one arm per segment. The line’s tendency to swim by rapidly rotating their bodies and their good speed stats could reference propellers and shuriken. The gems flashing, acting as their hearts, and firing beam attacks may all reference the flashing chest-mounted gems found in the Ultraman series.

I covered Magikarp in my fish posts, but didn’t cover Gyarados then as I don’t think it’s a fish. I think it’s a combination sea serpent and eastern dragon. It has the serpentine, limbless shape of sea serpents and the whiskers and carp connection of dragons. Eastern dragons are generally considered benevolent, but can be extremely dangerous when angered. They can also typically fly despite being wingless, fitting Gyarados having the flying type and actually flying around the sky in Legends: Arceus. Eastern dragons are often depited as having long barbels like those of carp and catfish.

(image: a depiction of a Chinese dragon)

Gyarados evolving from Magikarp is a reference to a Chinese legend where a carp that jumps over a waterfall will turn into a dragon. If Gyarados has the appearance of an eastern dragon, it has the violent temperament of a western dragon. It’s violent and easily angered temperament is similar to legends of sea monsters attacking and destroying ships. Side note: Gyarados’s English name was originally going to be Skulkraken, which is one of the most metal things I’ve ever heard. Mega Gyarados looks a lot like carp streamers, which makes it amusing that the form based on a wind sock loses the flying type.

(image: a bunch of carp streamers)

Lapras is one of my favorite Pokemon of all time and its origin is suitably interesting. It’s based on famous lake cryptids like the Loch Ness monster, which are often depicted as looking like outdated reconstructions of plesiosaurs. Plesiosaurs were marine reptiles that coexisted with dinosaurs, but were not dinosaurs themselves. The most famous plesiosaurs, which Lapras is based on, had long necks.

(image: a fossil reconstruction of Plesiosaurus)

Outdated reconstructions of plesiosaurs, often depicted them as being able to hold their necks out of the water in what is often described as a swan neck pose, much like Lapras’s neck. We now know that their necks were not nearly flexible enough to do that. I initially thought that Lapras’s shell was a reference to sea turtles, but it turns out it comes from the placodonts, close relatives to plesiosaurs who had bony plates on their backs that in some species developed to look a lot like turtle shells.

(image: a fossil reconstruction of a turtle-like placodont)

Some placodonts also had bony protrusions on their skulls, much like Lapras’s horn. Lapras’s neck and rideability could also reference the mastheads of Viking longships. Lapras being very intelligent and singing is a clear reference to whales. In early generations, Lapras was endangered due to overhunting, which could reference species like the right whale, who were badly overhunted and have never fully recovered. Gigantamax Lapras having that shell shape and sheet music lines makes me think it’s a reference to that shell-looking musical instrument from the 2nd movie.

Alright, we’re talking about Vaporeon now, so I expect you to be normal about this, ok? Like the other Eevees, Vaporeon is a mishmash of various animals. Like Eevee, it has dog, cat, and fox traits, but it also adds dolphin and fish-like traits. We actually have the word of one of the designers, who says it was designed with mermaids in mind, hence the combination of mammal and fish traits. It may also represent transitional forms between land-dwelling animals and cetaceans, such as Remingtonocetus or Kutchicetus.

(image: peleoart of Kutchicetus by Nobu Tamura)

The fringe around its neck is the aquatic form of Eevee’s neck ruff, but also makes it look like a sea-lion. No, not the real animals, but a lion mermaid used as a heraldic symbol.

It may also be one big catfish pun. Vaporeon’s ability to turn into water could reference mythical water spirits like naiads.

Omanyte and Omastar are based on ammonites, prehistoric shelled cephalopods that look very similar to, but are not closely related to, the modern nautilus.

(Image: paleoart of an ammonite. source)

Like the nautilus, ammonites could float in the water column using gas-filled chambers in the shell, contrasting the Omanyte line, who are usually depicted as bottom-dwellers. Ammonites would have had the shell opening pointed horizontally, with the tentacles used for grabbing food and a siphon used for propulsion. The Omanyte line instead has the shell opening down and the tentacles used to crawl around. Like any proper cephalopod, Omastar has a powerful beak that it uses to eat. Ammonites first evolved in the Devonian period and made it all the way to the end of the Cretaceous, where they met their end along with the non-avian dinosaurs.

Kabuto is a mix of the horseshoe crab and trilobites. Horseshoe crabs (which you can read about here) are still around now, but they are considered living fossils (a misleading term as the species alive today are not the same as fossil species). Kabuto looks like the carapace of a horseshoe crab, minus the second body segment and tail.

(image: a horseshoe crab)

Horseshoe crabs also have two large eyes on the top of the shell looking up, just like the two dots on Kabuto, and more eyes on the underside looking down. Trilobites had segmented bodies while Kabuto doesn’t. Upon evolving, it takes on some major praying mantis inspiration, but at the same time, it looks a bit more like a triobite. Its head looks like a cephalon of a trilobite, possibly one of the genus Cheirurus, which had some large spikes on the cephalon.

(image a trilobite fossil)

The body is segmented like a trilobites. Kabutops also takes inspiration from eurypterids, relatives of horseshoe crabs that had segmented bodies and large limbs used for hunting or swimming.

(image: a eurypterid fossil)

Kabutops’s head also looks a bit like a samurai helmet (and the Japanese word for helmet is “kabuto”), and that combined with its sword-like limbs may give it some samurai influence.

Finishing out gen I is the Dratini line, which serve as counterparts to Gyarados. They are also based on a combination of sea serpents and eastern dragons, but while Gyarados is destructive and violent, the Dratini line are reclusive and gentle. Like many eastern dragon myths Dreatini and Dragonair live underwater and/or behind waterfalls and Dragonair has weather control abilities. Dragonite switches to a western dragon, with 4 limbs and wings, but still retains some eastern dragon traits with its serpentine body, ability to live underwater, antennae that look a lot like barbels, and generally gentle behavior. Interestingly, Gyarados has the eastern dragon look but western dragon behavior while Dragonite has the western dragon look and eastern dragon behavior.

Next time, I'll cover the aquatic Pokémon from generation II. In the future I probably wont have to split generations up like this as the other gens don't have as many aquatic mons to cover

I had a dream about spongebob this morning. It was like a horror video game for him.

Basically for whatever reason, spongebob was almost like a zombie, he was chasing you the player (Squidward) around, trying to get him to eat a krabby patty, but they're infected.

Squidward basically has to run around, making orders, and avoiding spongebob all at night. Spongebob isn't ALWAYS chasing, but most of the time he is.

You can upgrade squidward's like strength and speed as you go along. There's different defects you can get along with upgrades, though the defects are temperary

The only defect that was in my dream was having your upgrades switch, so like if you have IDK, like 10 points in speed and 5 in strength, then when you got the defect it would switch them so you have 5 speed and 10 strength.

In my dream they didn't have strength and so I don't know what strength would do in the game, but whatever.

The entire game has a timer, basically when the timer is done and you've survived, then Sandy will call someone. In my dream she called to get him a kids meal to calm him down? IDK, just how it was

It was nice though, Sandy was talking about how she admired Spongebob while she was calling, the timer was still going down while on the phone.

And then they weren't at the Krusty Krab, it was more like a McDonalds in a forest or something.

IDK if this would actually be a good game, nor am I able to make a game, but I thought it was fun, so there's my dream this morning :3

I felt like it was a mix of multiple episodes of spongebob. I would name them, but I see too many in here and I honestly don't know the names of the episodes, so I'd be saying what happened in it and end up explaining the entire episode.

And no one wants that.

It's the end of the world as we know it (And I'm not fine)

(Reverse Robins / Zombie au)

Chapter 6

     "Cass help me block the windows" Damian ordered laying Wally on the couch "Brown make sure the rest of The house is secure"

     "On it!" Steph called rushing down the hallway.

     "What can I do?" Dick asked following his older brother.

     "Go look for anything that can be used as a weapon" Damian ordered pushing a dress in front of the window.

Meanwhile

     "You guys ready to go?" Tim asked gathering his.

     "Yep!" Bart zipped in front in front of him.

     "Slow down" Tim warned "I got enough superfood to keep you from passing out not enough for you to use your speed"

     "Yes sir" Bart smiled.

     "It's such a shame to leave all these books" Jason frowned.

     "We have every book you could ever want downloaded to the computer in the watch tower" Tim reminded him.

     "Yeah, but it's not the same" Jason pouted.

     "Fine one book but hurry it up" Tim urged. Jason quickly grabbed a book off the top of the stack and ran over to join them.

Meanwhile

     Everyone sat quietly listening as the growling noise got softer and softer until it was gone.

   "Sounds like the coast is clear," Steph said getting up off the floor.

    "We'll stay put for a few days just to be sure besides West needs to rest" Damian nodded ever to the couch.

     "I'm fine" Wally argued trying to set up only for his arms to give out under him.

     "Oh really now?"Damian asked raising an eyebrow.

     "What about the others, they're supposed to meet us at the bus lot" Steph frowned.

     "Tim is a good leader I'm sure they'll go on ahead" Damian reassured her "but right now I have to take care of this group"

     "I help" Cass offered.

     "Thank you" Damian nodded "Right now we need to get West in bed so he can get some rest" Wally did not look pleased about that idea.

Meanwhile

     "So what's the plan?" Jason asked, hopping into the car.

     "Drive until we run out of gas then get another car," Tim said turning on the car "Keep doing that until we reach the bus lot"

     "Do you think the others will still be there?" Bart asked leaning over the seat.

     "Not sure" Tim shrugged "But we need to make sure they don't just keep waiting for us"

Timeskip

    Damian sat across the room keeping an eye on Wally, who was sitting up in bed going on about crazy SpongeBob theories.

     "I'm just saying Krabby patty is a pretty suspicious name," Wally said crossing his arms.

     "West it's a kid's show for goodness' sake" Damian rolled his eyes.

     "Knock Knock," Steph said opening the door.

     "Was that really necessary?" Damian asked turning to her.

     "Man you are a grumpy bird today" she joked "I'm here to take over"

    "I'm perfectly capable" Damian glared crossing his arms.

     "You need sleep" Steph pointed out.

     "Go on it's not like I'm going to fall apart as soon as you leave" Wally teased.

     "Fine" Damian grunted getting up "Wake me up if anything happens"

     "Of course" Steph nodded. As soon as he left the room Wally fell back against the bed breathing heavily "Are you okay?"

     "Yeah... just hurts...a lot" Wally clenched his chest squeezing his eyes shut.

     "I know" Steph whispered gently taking his other hand "It's going to be okay"

Nicktoons Unite: Turning the Tables (Wattpad)

4: Bikini Bottom

Timmy POV

8 hours later…

That fish finally finished talking and left us alone. I don't know what it is about citizens from Bikini Bottom but whenever they tell you a story, it is like you're in a trance and you can't do anything to get out of it. And before you know it, 8 hours have passed. We collapsed onto the sandy floor, our legs could barely hold our weight anymore. Even Cozmo and Wanda fell to the floor. We decided to take a break and just sit until we can feel our legs again.

     "Did anyone pay any attention to that guy talking?" I asked, hoping for someone to give me a synopsis of the whole story. Jimmy rolled his eyes, "Luckily Turner, I did. A week ago, all the townspeople were supposed to have their daily breakfast at the Krusty Krab but it was closed. They assumed it was closed for the morning so they went on with their day. Unfortunately, the Krusty Krab never opened and the town spiralled out of control without their daily Krabby Patty" he explained. My face turned into a frown, "Wait, so why didn't that reporter just explain it to us the way you did? Why did it take almost eight hours?!" I asked again ad I rubbed my legs trying to get the blood flowing.

"He proceeded to explain every detail of what happened in their daily lives when the Krusty Krab was closed. Some tried to break in but failed," he added. "What happened to the Krusty Krab? Why did it suddenly close?" I asked. "He said he wasn't sure but an inside man that works at the Krusty Krab told him that their fry cook didn't show up for work." Jimmy said in a whispering tone, "Spongebob.." I said. "Exactly," Jimmy said "..but what confuses me is why Mr Krabs didn't call in a new fry cooker? All he cared about was money, so why wouldn't he mind replacing-" "Because he's too good" A voice said. Danny who was quiet the whole time finally spoke, his voice sounds tired. I mean we were all tired. "What do you mean by that Fenton?" Jimmy questioned.

Danny flopped his back onto the sand to get more comfortable, "Spongebob is the only one that can cook the Krabby Patty perfectly. Other fry cookers have tried, but they still can't outmatch Spongebob's way of cooking. So even if Mr Krabs replaces Spongebob, the food won't taste the same. The townsfolk won't be satisfied and another riot will start" Danny casually explains. "How do you know all this?" I asked looking down at the ghost boy. "Spongebob said one time he left Bikini Bottom because he felt like he was not needed, after he left Bikini Bottom went downhill and his friends had to get him back" he explained. I looked over to Jimmy to see what he thought of it, it looked like he had his thinking hat on.

     I realised we already wasted eight hours, we need to start looking for Spongebob. I turned to Cozmo and Wanda who were sitting next to me, "Cozmo, Wanda, are you guys done resting?" I asked. "Don't worry Sport, we're well rested. What do you need?" She asked for their wands at the ready. "Turner, please don't-" "I wish we were at Mr Krabs's house," I said. A loud POOF was heard and we were gone.

Danny POV

I was blinded by glitter and dust before my face met with the sandy floor. Jimmy was on the ground next to me while Timmy stood in front of us with his fairies by his shoulders like angels. "Who to question first then none other than the boss himself," he spoke. I and Jimmy pulled ourselves up and glared daggers at Timmy. "This is the third time Turner, one more time and I'll-" "Shhh, what's that sound?" I said. We all listened carefully, from outside the giant anchor house we could hear loud footsteps walking around. They sound very heavy, it must be Pearl. Spongebob says Mr Krabs has a daughter named Pearl who's a whale.

     I was about to ask Timmy something when he was blasted back by a water gun. I and Jimmy looked at where the water gun was shot from, "NO PEARL- wAiT! Dont attack! We're harmless!!" I yelled as we got in between her and Timmy. Pearl lowered the water gun she had, "What do you want?" she asked as she fixed her blonde hair. "We came to look for Spongebob. Have you seen him?" Jimmy asked, she frowned as if many people had asked her this question before. "For the last time, how would I know! It's not like he's my boyfriend!" she yelled, "Now get off my property you freaks!!" she stomped the ground making the earth shake, we lost balance and before we fell to the ground she shot the water gun at us. We fell back onto the road soaking wet which makes no sense because we were underwater! Pearl slammed the door shut and I heard the click of the locks.

"Well that went great" Timmy sarcastically said. I frowned at him telling him to shut up. I went ghost and flew through the wall and into the house. Pearl was still at the door when she saw me she just sighed. "Great, a ghost. I knew that weirdo was making weird friends" she stated. "Listen, Pearl, we just want to know where our friend is, we mean no harm," I spoke calmly. She raised a brow, "I'm listening", I landed on the wooden floor a few feet from her "..do you know where Mr Krabs is?" I asked. She groaned, "he is living somewhere near the bank. Ever since Spongebob left he didn't earn any money. So he decided to stay near the one place where there's lots of money". I nodded and thanked her, I flew quickly out of the house and landed next to Jimmy and Timmy.

"Got anything?" Jimmy asked, "Mr Krabs is staying somewhere near the bank.". "Well I'm not gonna question that. What's next?" Timmy asked. "We should visit the bank then." Jimmy replied, "Shouldn't we go ask Squidward and Patrick? Spongebob said his house and Mr Krabs's house aren't that far." I asked, Jimmy, thought about it and nodded "you're right. We can get more clues to where Spongebob went at his house too," he added. "Doesn't he have a snail? Maybe the snail knows where he went!" Timmy said, "I'm not sure, but it's worth the try?" I said.
