EPISODE 1: "What A Night for A Knight"​


Plot: Scooby and the gang get roped into the mystery of a mysterious suit of armor, a missing professor, and paintings that vanish and then reappear when no one's looking!

Chapter 1​


On a dark night, with the moon out and full, all seemed silent among the streets of Coolsville, a city located in the Kalos Region. We see a white Caucasian man in some clothes that were straight out of the Galar Region. He was driving a blue colored pickup truck that had a box big enough to hide a human in it. He appears to be humming to himself as he drive. However, while driving down an empty road surrounded by nothing but trees, the box in the back opens revealing not only what's inside, but the fact that what it was was what opened the box. It was a set of medieval armour. It looked at the driver of the truck through the back window of the cab area. It blinks it's creepy yellow eyes while it looked at him

LATER ON THE LITERALLY EXACT SAME ROAD.....

"W-What aa nervous night to be walking home from the movies, Scooby-Doo." Shaggy, a lanky teen, roughly 17, wearing a green shirt, red pants, black shoes, and had brown hair. "And all because YOU had to stay and see Star: Poke-ranger of The North Woods twice!"

Scooby-Doo, a Boltund with a blue collar around his neck, and a tag that was blue with gold edges and had the letters 'SD' written on it in gold letters, turns to his lanky friend and says, "Reah, reah reah reah!"

The two then hear something that they didn't expect making them jump a little

"Rwhat was that??" Scooby asks with one ea perked up

"I-It's like, coming from the bushes. Go see what it is, Scooby." Shaggy said pointing at a moving bush. "Go see what it is, Scooby."

Scooby gulps

"Don't worry, i'm right behind you." Shaggy adds

"Rthanks a lot." Scooby says with a hint of sarcasm as he sticks his head in the bush

After a minute, Scooby pulls his head out with a Froakie on his nose

"Ronly a Froakie." Scooby says

All of a sudden, the Froakie bounces off of Scooby's nose. For some reason, this angers Scooby to the point where he chases the Froakie while barking.

"Scooby, come back!!" Shaggy said as he followed his companion. "Wait!!"

Scooby was still chasing the frog until he turned a corner and lost the Froakie.

"Rwhere'd he go? Rwhere'd he go??" Scooby asked as he looked around

All of a sudden, Shaggy comes skidding and tripped over Scooby

"Like next time, signal..." Shaggy said as he got up

"Rorry." Scooby apologized

Shaggy then noticed something in the near distance. "Hey, what's that?" he asked

The two walk overto the truck and see the armour in the seat

"Looks like a deserted type pickup truck." Shaggy added. "Anyone home?" Shaggy asked

All of a sudden, the helmet on the armor wiggled a little bit and fell out of the truck and onto the ground scaring Shaggy and Scooby. This makes the duo look at each other, nervously chuckle, and run off far away from the truck.

LATER


Later, Shaggy and Scooby were back at the truck with the suit of armor of which the helmet fell off of and onto the ground but with their friends, Fred, Velma, and Daphne

"You're right Shaggy, this sure is strange." Daphne said

"Yeah. What's an empty old suit of armour doing in the driver seat of this pickup?" Fred asks

"Maybe he went out for the knight, get it?" Shaggy said as him and Scooby laugh

"Very funny." Velma said with more than obvious sarcasm

"Gosh, I wonder who this creepy hunk of tin belongs to." Daphne says pointing at the armour in the truck

"Well, the name on the crate says 'Jameson Hyde White. Professor of Archaeology. London, Galar Region" Fred replies looking at the label sticker on the box

"RHyde White?" Scooby asks

"I've heard of Hide and Seek before, but i've never heard of Hyde White." Shaggy said in a joking manner

"That's an English name, you comedians." Velma says to the duo

"Hey, what's this?" Daphne says picking up a slip of paper. "It's a delivery label that says, 'Deliver to the county museum'." Daphne adds

"So THAT'S where the old knight was heading for." Velma says

"That's using the old noodle. But like, what happened to our mysterious professor?" Shaggy asks

"Well, if he was driving this truck, he's disappeared." Daphne answers

"Well gang, it looks like we're up to our armor plates in another mystery." Fred said

Later, about the next day, Mystery Inc. had taken the armor to a museum somewhere in Coolsville. They were talking to the curator about how Hyde White vanished

"Oh dear, oh dear. I suppose I should thank you for finding the Black Knight." The curator started. "But with Professor Hyde White's mysterious disappearance and all, I wish you hadn't." he finished

"Why is that, Mr. Wickles?" Daphne asks

"Because of the legend." Mr. Wickles explains

"Legend??" Fred says curiously

"Yes. The Black night is supposed to come alive when the moon is full." Wickles adds

"Like, wow, the moon was full last night." Shaggy says

"Then what was the professor doing with tall, tin, dark, and creepy?" Velma asks

"He was delivering it to the museum. All the way from Galar." Wickles answers

Scooby gasps. Two workers come into the area, close the box, and pick up the box

"Where do you want it, Mr. Wickles?" One of the workers as

"Oh, just put it in the medieval room." Wickles answers

The two workers then carry off the box. However, unaware to them, Scooby followed the two cause he felt like something was suspicious. He then walks up to a Greek lion statue and sees some crazy like glasses on the snout and looks at them with confusion.

"Scooby-Doo, Where are You?" Scooby hears Daphne ask from somewhere in the museum

"Come on, Scooby, we're leaving." Fred adds

"Rcoming!" Scooby says grabbing the crazy like glasses off of the statue with his mouth and he walks off to join them

We now see The Mystery Machine driving in a way as if the gang was heading somewhere specific.

"This mystery's got me baffled." Velma says

"Well, it's got me like, hungry. When do we eat??" Shaggy says

Scooby pops his head out in the back seat of The Mystery Machine wearing the glasses he found at the museum

"Reah, rlet's eat!" Scooby responds

"Hey, what's Scooby wearing?" Daphne asks noticing the glasses

"They look like some crazy kind of glasses." Velma answers as Daphne grabs the glasses

"He must've found them at the museum." Fred said

"Reah, reah." Scooby responds.

"Man, I wonder what kind of groovy things you see with those." Shaggy says looking at the glasses

"Well, there's one way to find out...." Fred said

LATER

Later, we see The Mystery Machine parked outside the Coolsville public library indicating Mystery Inc. was inside. when we join them, they are all reading a book with Velma from over her shoulders

"Here it is, they're a special type of magnifying glasses used by jewelers, scientists, and archaeologists. And, hold onto your hula-hoops. It says here, 'Made Only In the Galar Region'." Velma said

"Archaeologists?" Fred says

"Galar Region?" Daphne adds

The gang then look up and realize who exactly owned the glasses Scooby found

"Professor Hyde White!!!" Mystery Inc. all say in unison

"That settles it. There's something fishy going on in that museum." Fred states

"Ryou mean?" Scooby asks

"Right Scooby, tonight, we're going fishing." Fred answered

Chapter 2​

We see Mystery Inc. parked outside the back entrance of the museum. Fred seems to be trying to open the door but to no avail

"This place is locked up tighter than a drum!" Fred says as he finally gives up trying to open the locked door

"Then like, how do we get in?" Shaggy asks

"Easy Shaggy. You go through that window up there." Fred says pointing to a window

"Why me?" Shaggy asks

"Because that's a small window and you're the thinnest." Fred replies

"Oh boy." Shaggy replies

"Come on, give me a hand with this ladder." Fred said as he unloaded a ladder from The Mystery Machine

Fred and Shaggy propped the window against the wall and much to Mystery Inc.'s dismay, it is nowhere close to the window

"It won't reach." Daphne stated

"I guess we don't get in." Velma adds

"Well, if we don't get in, we'll never find out what happened to the missing professor." Fred responded. "Shaggy, you start up, and i'll get the jack out of The Mystery Machine." Fred added

"Right." Shaggy said as he started climbing the ladder and Fred grabbed the the jack. "Hang on, Shaggy." Fred said

"Like, right, man."Shaggy responded

"I'll start cranking." Fred said as he started using the crank to lift up the ladder to the window

"And i'll keep hanging on." Shaggy responded

The crank reaches his height limit and Shaggy still can't reach the window but he is only a foot below it.

"That's it, no more jack." Fred said as he stood up

"He still can't reach it." Velma stated in response

"Don't worry, Shaggy's the swingingest gymnast in school." Daphne said in response

"When you get in, open the back door!!" Fred yells up to Shaggy

"Right. Watch me swing right in!" Shaggy said as he jumped up, grabbed the window ledge, and pulled himself through the window

Everyone covered their ears as they her loud crashing noises from inside the museum. After the crashing stopped, they look at the back door.

"Well, at least we know he's inside." Velma said

IN THE MUSEUM

Somewhere in an exhibit, there is a pile of broken things such as vases, stones, and pillars. Shaggy pokes his head out wearing a roman warrior helmet and he shakes his head and takes off the helmet as he goes to get the back door. He eventually comes up to The Black Knight armour and gulps.

"The Black Knight..." Shaggy whispered.

He then walked up to the armour and knocked it a few times and lucky for him, nothing seems to be in it and he says, "Sure glad it's empty."

He then walks past a statue somewhere else in the room as he goes for the back door to let the others in. However, some eyes inside the statue that follow him as he walks off.

AT THE BACK DOOR

Shaggy has now gotten the back door open letting the others in.

"Golly, this place sure is creepy at night." Daphne says

"It's even creepy during the day..." Shaggy responds

"I think we better split up. Daph and I will go this way..." Fred starts as he points in the direction of the Egypt exhibit and pointed the other way as he said, "...and you two go that way. And Scooby, stand guard."

"Rnuh-uh, rnuh-uh!" Scooby responded

"Would you do it for a Razz berry?" Fred asks as he held a Razz berry.

"....Rtwo?" Scooby responds

"Okay, two it is." Fred responded

Fred then tosses two Razz berries to Scooby as he catches them in his mouth and eats them.

"RScooby-Doo!" Scooby said as he somewhat saluted

LATER

Scooby was walking back and forth in front of the back door as if he was a guard Pokemon. After a few paces, he stops and looks around. While he isn't noticing it however, the door opens letting in enough light to make his shadow large on the wall behind him. Scooby looks at his large shadow, realizes the door is open and screams.

"Rikes!" Scooby screamed as he ran off

WITH VELMA AND SHAGGY

Shaggy and Velma are looking around in the weaponry section of the medieval section of the museum when they hear running footsteps

"I think we're being followed." Velma says as her and Shaggy turn to see Scooby running in their direction

"Yeah, by Scooby." Shaggy responded

All of a sudden, Shaggy gets tackled by Scooby.

"Alright, Scooby-Doo, you can come with us." Shaggy told his coward friend

Scooby licks Shaggy's face about 6 times before Shaggy manages to get him to get off

IN THE EGYPTIAN EXHIBIT

In the exhibit based on Ancient Egypt, Fred and Daphne were looking around not noticing one of the sarcophagi behind them open with what looked like a hand pulling it closed.

ELSEWHERE IN THE MUSEUM

Elsewhere in the creepy museum, Shaggy, Scooby, and Velma walk past a window. After Shaggy walked past it, he noticed the moon was full and he quickly went back and pulled the blind down over the window before getting back to Velma and Scooby.

"What did you do that for?" Velma asked, in a quiet yet demanding way

"You know how that full moon turns on that Black Knight." Shaggy explains, pointing at the armour of The Black Knight

"That's only a superstitious legend." Velma said

"Well, i'm not taking any chances." Shaggy stated

"Ri'm with you." Scooby said in agreement with Shaggy

Later, by a room with old artifacts from Kanto, Johto, Hoeen, Kalos, and Sinnoh, Velma and Scooby look around the room, not noticing Shaggy walking right on by. The moment they went in the room a few feet, Velma and Scooby realized they got separated from Shaggy.

"Oh, no, we've lost Shaggy!" Velma said

Scooby gulped and his tail sort of instinctively sparked.

Chapter 3​

Later, in the medieval exhibit, we see a moving mass made up of two shadows move along a wall. Shortly, we see these shadows belonged to Velma and Scooby who went to not only look for clues, but to look for their missing friend.

"I hope we find Shaggy soon." Velma said

Scooby's teeth then started chattering.

"Shhh, stop that noise." Velma lightly scolded

Scooby then clamped his mouth shut with his front paws The moment he removed his paws, his teeth seemed to have stopped chattering. But only one second after his paws were on the floor, his teeth started chattering again. He then clamped his mouth shut again.

Velma went silent, thinking and she then had an idea.

"I've got it." Velma said as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a purple scarf and tied it around Scooby's moth keeping it shut. "That's better." she added. "Come on."

The two then walked past The Black Knight armour not noticing it and then, the armour comes alive and follows them. The two came to a stop to loo around in a Mayan exhibit.

"What a spooky place." Velma said, not noticing The Black Knight right behind them

Scooby saw a shadow go over him so naturally, he turned to see what was causing the shadow and what he saw made his tail stick up, eyes go wide, his jaw drop as if the scarf wasn't there, and a look of fear fill his eyes. He then tried to get Velma's attention by tapping her shoulder.

"Not now, Scooby. Not now." Velma said as she shook off Scooby's paw

Scooby then took off running, knocking Velma over. He then got back up and ran again this time knocking Velma's glasses off of her face.

"Hey!!" Velma shouted

Scooby was busy digging himself into a pot. Once he dug himself into the dirt in the pot, he reached out, grabbed the flower, and put it back in the pot on the dirt directly over his head then pulled his leg back into the pot.

Velma was now feeling around for her glasses, She couldn't see a thing without them.

"Now look what that Pokemon did." Velma said, not noticing The Black Knight walking in her direction. "He knows I can't see without my glasses."

The Black Knight then tripped over Velma, right into a wooden stock on the floor, and he let out a surprised roar as he did o. Velma looked up thinking The Black Knight was Shaggy.

"Oh, there you are, Shaggy." Velma said as she got up

The Black Knight roared as the stocks closed on him from the force of the landing.

"You sound terrible." Velma said

The Black Knight roared some more.

"I told you to take care of that cold." Velma added as she pulled out a bottle of medicine and a tablespoon

The Black Knight once again, only roared.

"Luck I brought your medicine." Velma added as she poured some medicine into the tablespoon

Meanwhile, Shaggy was running around looking for Velma and Scooby.

"I can't find that Velma nowheres." Shaggy said as he ran but came to a stop once he saw The Black Knight in some wooden stocks. "Zoinks!!"

Luckily for Velma, Shaggy's skidding stop hit Velma's glasses hard enough to send them flying onto her face as she turned to where his voice was coming from.

"This will fix you up in a jiffy." Velma said

Shaggy did feel a bit sick lately, so he too the tablespoon and dumped the medicine in it into his mouth and then gave the tablespoon back to Velma as he swallowed the medicine.

"Let's get outta here!!" Shaggy said

"See? You sound better already!!" Velma said as Shaggy took off running, bringing her with him

Scooby then poked his head out of the pot, looked around, and once he sees Shaggy and Velma running, he jumps out of the pot, runs in air for a few seconds, then took off and the flower fell back into place and with that, they got out of the room just as The Black Knight broke the stocks he was trapped in. To achieve the speed he did, he used Quick Attack.

Chapter 4​

Later, in the prehistoric exhibit, Scooby poked his head in and looked around. He went wide eyed when he saw a huge skeleton, having not had a bone in some time.

"RScooby-Doo!!!" Scooby cheered as he ran over to the T-Rex skeleton

Scooby then grabbed one of the bones from the leg, specifically the bottom half of the right leg. That's when the skeleton shook and fell apart. The tip of the series of bones that made up the T-Rex tail tore a curtain revealing that behind it was The Black Knight, fully alive just as Scooby, Velma, and Shaggy had seen earlier.

The Black Knight roared, scaring Scooby to the point where he tossed all the bones up in the air at once. By coincidence, they landed in the same positions they were in earlier.

"RSorry. RBye-bye!" Scooby said right before he ran off to go find the others

Elsewhere in the museum, Shaggy and Velma had found Fred and Daphne and Shaggy was trying to convince them that The Black Knight was in fact alive and roaming around.

"I tell you, The Black Knight is alive!" Shaggy stated. "And roaming through the hallways."

"If we could only find a clue." Velma says

That's when Scooby came running into view as if he had just seen a ghost, which he did in fact just see a ghost.

"It's Scooby!!" Velma out

At that exact moment, Scooby tackled Shaggy and they slid for a few seconds to further in the museum, landing by a painting they didn't notice at first was actually missing entirely.

"When Velma said 'clue', she didn't mean 'you', Scooby." Shaggy stated as they got up and noticed the missing painting. "Hey, like, wait a minute! There's a picture missing from the wall. Maybe that's a clue! We better tell the others."

"Right." Scooby replies

Later, Scooby and Shaggy had gone back to the others and were bringing them to where a painting as missing.

"It's right down here." Shaggy stated

When they got back, for whatever reason, the picture was back where it was, confusing Shaggy and Scooby the most out pf the whole group.

"There's no picture missing, Shaggy." Velma states

"Well, it was a minute ago." Shaggy responds

"Some clue." Fred comments

Daphne then spotted something red and liquidy on the ground and said, "Well, if that's........blood.....that's a clue."

Fred kneeled down and swiped his finger in the red liquid and rubbed it in-between his fingers only to find out it's just some red paint, which is in a trail.

"It's paint." Fred comments, noticing the trail. "And look! A trail of it leads down the hallway."

The group then started following the trail as Fred said, "Come on, follow that paint!"

What they did not notice however, was the eyes of te statue they walked past looking at them and moving.

Later, tey reached the end of the trail led to an egyptian mummy case. Fred had a suspicion there was more to this specific mummy case due to the act the red paint isn't on the case itself.

"The trail of paint ends here at the mummy case." Velma comments

"Come on, Shaggy, help me open it." Fred said as he put his hands on the mummy case to open it

"Uh-uh, don't like surprises, especially spooky ones." Shaggy replied

"Oh, come on." Fred responds as he opens the mummy case, revealing it was really the door to a secret room full of painting materials

"Hey, look, a secret room!" Daphne comments

They looked around the hidden room. The place was a complete mess. Materials and paint were everywhere, even canvases were scattered across the room.

"Somebody sure is a messy housekeeper." Shaggy states, noticing the state of the room

The group then noticed two paintings which looked exactly the same, one being unfinished and a complete phony.

"And look at that." Daphne pointed out. "There are two paintings, exactly alike."

"Are you thinking what i'm thinking?" Velma asked

The one to answer Velma was Fred.

"Right, Velma. This just about solves the mystery." Fred answers

"RIt does?" Scooby asked

"W-W-W-W-What??" Shaggy stuttered

"No time to explain now, Shaggy, we've gotta get an Officer Jenny." Fred responds

Daphne found a second door and said, "Let's take this back way out."

When said door opened, right behind it was The Black Knight. He had figured out the gang found the secret room and was prepared to do whatever he could to make sure the gang doesn't tell law enforcement. Everyone went wide eyed at the sight of the living armor.

"Leave it to Daphne to pick the wrong door!" Shaggy comments

Chapter 5​

The Black Knight roars loudly, scaring the near living daylights out of everybody.

"Zoinks!!" Shaggy screams as he ran behind a painting to hide, choosing a fake one

The Black Knight ran over to the painting and punched through it, missing Shaggy by one single inch. The Black Knight growled after getting his hand out of the now broken painting.

Shaggy poked his head through the hole and said, "Scooby, like, do something!!"

Scooby then quickly put on a painters disguise, grabbed some paint, a paint pallete, a paintbrush and a canvas on an easel. He looked at the canvas, then The Black Knight. He grabbed a squirt tube of red paint and squirted it onto the pallete, and then he squirted paint right onto The Black Knight's helmet.

Scooby then snickered a little and everyone ran out of the room, just as The Black Knight punched the canvas on the easel, breaking the canvas and easel before chasing after the gang.

Scooby and Shaggy quickly ducked around a corner, The Black Knight running pasts at first, going after Fred, Velma, and Daphne. Shaggy then elbowed Scooby and gestured to a bear skin rug.

The two ran over hid under the bear skin rug. Once the two were fully hidden, The Black Knight ran into the room and stopped ahead of Scooby and Shaggy who were crawling around under the bear skin rug. Once the majority of the moving rug went past, The Black Knight stepped on a back part of it, causing Scooby and Shaggy to crawl out from under it.

When the two realized they were now un-covered, they went wide eyed and quickly crawled under a table. The Black Knight ran over to the table and picked it up, only for Scooby and Shaggy not to be seen. Out of rage, The Black Knight threw the table at the wall, making it go into the wall. When what was the top of the table fell, it was revealed Scooby and Shaggy were hiding under the table and grabbed on when it was picked up.

Scooby and Shaggy shared a quick glance before running off, The Black Knight chasing after them. That is when The Black Knight chased the gang into a room labelled as the "Relic Room", that being the case cause it was full of several war relics.

In the Relic Room, The Black Knight was looking around, trying to find Mystery Inc. Fred, Velma, and Daphne poked their heads out of the top of the tank they were hiding in. Lucky for them, The Black Knight didn't see them.

Scooby and Shaggy poked their heads out of the plane they were hiding in, also un-noticed by The Black Knight. It was then that Shaggy got an idea that might help them escape the clutches of the walking tin can with a feather on his head the gang sees in front of them.

"Maybe my ventriloquism bit can get us out of this jam." Shaggy whispered. "If I can throw my voice to make it sound like it's coming from the other room, he might leave."

Just then Shaggy then worked some ventriloquism magic and threw his voice to make it sound like it's coming from elsewhere.

"Help!!! Let me out of this pot!" Shaggy's voice echoed from a pot outside of the relic room

The Black Knight walked over to investigate but got confused when he saw that no one was in the pot. Meanwhile, Scooby was quietly snickering and he un intentionally used Thundershock and jumpstarted the engine of the plane him and Shaggy were hiding in.

"Help!!" Shaggy called out as the plane flew forward

"RHelp!!!" Scooby called out shortly after the plane lifted off the ground

Scooby saw an old fashioned pilot's cap and put it on.

"RScooby-Doo!" Scooby quietly cheered

When seeing the plane heading right for them, Fred, Velma, and Daphne quickly ducked back down in the tank, Fred closing the lid just before the plane flew over them.

The Black Knight saw the plane heading right for him and naturally, he screamed and ran for it. When the plane got to the doorway, however, parts of the wings broke off before it resumed un-intentionally going after The Black Knight.

The Black Knight kept screaming as he ran. However, when he reached the end of a hall, he knew he was trapped and couldn't go anywhere.

"Zoinks! Scooby!!!" Shaggy called out, pointing at The Black Knight

"Ripe!!!" Scooby yelped as he ducked down in the plane

Out of instinct, Shaggy reached forward and pulled a lever in the front seat, hoping it was the brakes. However, it was in fact not the breaks and just made the plane go upside down.

Shaggy covered his eyes and Scooby cheered, "RScooby-Doo!!!!!"

The Black Knight screams as the plane then was right-side up again and heading straight for him. By the time Fred, Velma, and Daphne got out of the Relic Room, the plane had crashed into a wall and by effect, stunning The Black Knight.

Shaggy looked at Th Black Knight and then Scooby.

"We did it, Scooby-Doo, we did it." Shaggy comments, pointing at the knocked over Black Knight

"RWe did?" Scooby asked before seeing The Black Knight knocked over and stunned. "RScooby-Doo!"

Scooby hopped out of the plane and went over to The Black Knight, bit down on the feather on the helmet, and pulled off the helmet revealing......

"Just as we thought!" Fred exclaimed

"It's the curator, Mr. Wickles." Daphne adds

Chapter 6​


Later, in the main lobby, an Officer Jenny had arrived and handcuffed Mr. Wickles.

"We gotta hand it to you kids." Officer Jenny stated. "We never would have suspected Wickles as the art swindler."

"Boy, was it a neat setup." Fred commented. "He and his gang were switching fake pieces of art for the real ones in the museum."

"And they made the fakes at night, in a secret workshop behind the mummy case." Daphne added

"That's why they had to get rid of the professor. He was the only one who could have spotted the fakes." Velma explained

Daphne the n went wide eyed and said, "Oh my Arceus, Professor Hyde White!"

"We never found him." Fred added

Scooby could then be heard barking nearby, catching everyone's attention. When they looked over at him, Scooby had a shoe in his mouth.

"It's Scooby-Doo with a shoe." Shaggy said, confused

"RFollow me!" Scooby said, walking off

When the rest if the gang, and the Officer Jenny that had arrived followed him, they got to the pone strange statue they didn't notice watched them each time they passed by and Scooby pointed at two feet, one of which didn't have a shoe on due to that shoe being the one Scooby had.

"RSee?" Scooby comments

Officer Jenny reached up to the top of the now proven to be fake statue and grabbed the body piece with her other hand, finding out it was just a cloak and she pulled off both pieces revealing that tied up under the fake statue and gagged was none other than.....

"Professor Hyde White!!!!" the gang exclaimed

Later, the gang was talking to the professor in his office.

"And all the time, it was Wickles who made The Black Knight come to life." Fred states

"And there was no legend." Daphne added

"Positively not." White explained. "Wickles just used the story to cover up my mysterious disappearance. Somehow, he managed to get into the armor down at the train station."

"And, like, on the way to the museum, he made you disappear." Shaggy states

Just then, some ghostly howling was heard which got everyone to turn to the source of the howling which was coming from the armor of The Black Knight. This time, it straight up scared everyone this time, Shaggy the most.

"Zoinks!! H-H-He's alive!!" Shaggy stuttered

When The Black Knight stepped into full view, they saw it was just Scooby messing around with the armor as he lifted up the faceplate of the armor.

"RScooby-Doo!!" Scooby cheered


[Here is a link to the closing credits sequence that's getting adapted]

We hear a song familiar amongst Scooby Doo fans as a group of Noibats fly past an old looking mansion as the classic Scooby Doo theme starts.

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where are You?

Some text flashes out from a window in big white letters that says "Scooby-Doo! I Choose You!"

We've got some work to do now

We see Scooby against a solid black background as he gulps at something we can't see.

Next thing we see is a mass of shadows moving over a bookshelf with a cracked glass cover. Mystery Inc. going by shortly after.

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, I Choose You

Once they walk past the shelf, though, it moves revealing the secret room and the ghost that was hiding in it.

We need some help from you now

We then see Daphne in front of a doorway. As she walks off, a cloaked hand swipes trying to grab her. Then, we see Fred sitting in a chair in some old house, looking over a movie script's pages.

Come on, Scooby-Doo, I see you

And then, the door behind him slides open and he falls backwards. Then we see Scooby in a hallway as he gets scared by something we don't see and his ears vigorously wiggle, electricity sparking between them.

Pretending you got a sliver

Then, we see the whole gang in front of a Phantom in a graveyard. Next thing we see is the gang running in a hallway.

Next thing we see is an Indian witch doctor, then Shaggy holding Scooby in a hallway in some old mansion somewhere in the world as the two shake violently out of pure fear.

You're not fooling me, cause I can see

After that, we see Fred, Daphne, Velma, and Shaggy running in a separate hallway.

Then, we see Shaggy uncontrollably skating down a hallway as he crashes into the bathroom.

The way you shake and shiver

Shaggy somehow turned on the shower's cold water by crashing into it.

You know we got a mystery to solve, so Scooby-Doo, be ready for your act

Next thing we see is Scooby laughing at something, then Velma gasping, then Fred looking to his left, then two different types of skulls, one of which was sitting on a stack of books, and then we see Scooby holding Shaggy as the two shake in some sort of old living room.

Don't hold back!

Next thing we see is a glowing deep sea diving ghost as it moans loudly. Then we see Scooby in a barrel running along a theme park boardwalk until he hits something.

And Scooby-Doo, if you come through, you're gonna have yourself a Scooby Snack!

Scooby then pokes his head out of the barrel with the lid on his head. Scooby looks up and sees that what he bumped into was some sort of creepy looking robot.

Next, we see Shaggy against a solid black background as he jumped back, his hair spiking up.

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, We Choose You

Then we see Scooby trying to shush something as he goes "Shhhh."

After that, we see a close up of a suit of haunted armor, a pair of eyes, and Scooby popping out of a flowerpot in a museum and running off in the air.

You're ready and you're willing

Then, after that, the gang is seen at a library reading a book, Fred, Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby looking over Velma's shoulders when they look up at the audience with the face as if they just found out something.

If we can count on you, Scooby-Doo,

After that, we see a pile of cotton candy shaped like Scooby's head and his tongue pops out and he begins to lick the cotton candy off. Scooby manages to lick the cotton candy off of his face in one go as he winks at the audience as the view fades to black.

I know we'll catch that villain

THE END


A/N: Well, this took a while to make but I did it Sorry if this isn't really that much Pokemon-y, I tried to sprinkle Pokemon aspects everywhere I could outside of Scooby being a Boltund such as the Froakie, how Scooby accidentally triggered the plane that led to the defeat of the Black Knight, and the Officer Jenny as well as one of Daphne's lines. Also, if I was supposed to make each chapter a different post in the thread, i'm sorry but I just really wanted to get this one out.

EPISODE 2: "A Clue for Scooby-Doo!"​

At Rocky Point Beach, the gang encounter the ghost of an old sea diver. A sailor claims that it's the ghost of Captain Cutler, who according to legend, died at sea many years ago when his boat got wrecked and now wants revenge
[Click here for a basis of what to do for the theme song despite lyrical differences]

We hear a song familiar amongst Scooby Doo fans as a group of Noibats fly past an old looking mansion as the classic Scooby Doo theme starts.

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where are You?

Some text flashes out from a window in big white letters that says "Scooby-Doo! I Choose You!"

We've got some work to do now

We see Scooby against a solid black background as he gulps at something we can't see.

Next thing we see is a mass of shadows moving over a bookshelf with a cracked glass cover. Mystery Inc. going by shortly after.

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, I Choose You

Once they walk past the shelf, though, it moves revealing the secret room and the ghost that was hiding in it.

We need some help from you now

We then see Daphne in front of a doorway. As she walks off, a cloaked hand swipes trying to grab her.

Come on, Scooby-Doo, I see you

Then, we see Fred sitting in a chair in some old house, looking over a movie script's pages. And then, the door behind him slides open and he falls backwards. Then we see Scooby in a hallway as he gets scared by something we don't see and his ears vigorously wiggle, electrical energy sparking between his ears.

Pretending you got a sliver

Then, we see the whole gang in front of a Phantom in a graveyard. Next thing we see is the gang running in a hallway.

Next thing we see is an Indian witch doctor, then Shaggy holding Scooby in a hallway in some old mansion somewhere in the world as the two shake violently out of pure fear.

You're not fooling me, cause I can see

After that, we see Fred, Daphne, Velma, and Shaggy running in a separate hallway.

Then, we see Shaggy uncontrollably skating down a hallway as he crashes into the bathroom.

The way you shake and shiver

Shaggy somehow turned on the shower's cold water by crashing into it.

You know we got a mystery to solve, so Scooby-Doo, be ready for your act!

Next thing we see is Scooby laughing at something, then Velma gasping, then Fred looking to his left, then two different types of skulls, one of which was sitting on a stack of books, and then we see Scooby holding Shaggy as the two shake in some sort of old living room.

Don't hold back!

Next thing we see is a glowing deep sea diving ghost as it moans loudly. Then we see Scooby in a barrel running along a theme park boardwalk until he hits something.

And Scooby-Doo, if you come through, you're gonna have yourself a Scooby Snack!

Scooby then pokes his head out of the barrel with the lid on his head.

That's a fact!

Scooby looks up and sees that what he bumped into was some sort of creepy looking robot.

Next, we see Shaggy against a solid black background as he jumped back, his hair spiking up. Then we see Scooby trying to shush something as he goes "Shhhh."

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, We Choose You

After that, we see a close up of a suit of haunted armor, a pair of eyes, and Scooby popping out of a flowerpot in a museum and running off in the air.

You're ready and you're willing

Then, after that, the gang is seen at a library reading a book, Fred, Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby looking over Velma's shoulders when they look up at the audience with the face as if they just found out something.

If we can count on you, Scooby-Doo,

We then see another exterior shot of the mansion from earlier with the white floating text that says, 'Scooby-Doo! I Choose You!'. After that, we see a pile of cotton candy shaped like Scooby's head and his tongue pops out and he begins to lick the cotton candy off

I know we'll catch that villain

Scooby manages to lick the cotton candy off of his face in one go as he winks at the audience as the view fades to black.



Chapter 1​

On Rocky Point Beach, which is located in the Kanto Region, a ghost walked into the water, leaving a trail of glowing footprints, but once the ghost was fully under, the water washed away the glowing footprints just before The Mystery Machine arrived, it's headlights aiming at the sign.

"Here it is, gang." Fred said, looking out the driver's side window. "Rocky Point Beach."

"What a groovy place for a beach party." Daphne responds

"Yeah, man. i can already taste those chocolate covered hot dogs." Shaggy commented

Velma gagged and said, 'his stomach must be made of scrap iron."

"Can I help it if my first toy was a garbage disposal?" Shaggy stated, getting a chuckle from Scooby

"Come on, gang, let's unload." Fred says

After unloading everything, Shaggy was cooking hot dogs, Velma was reading under an umbrella, and Fred and Daphne were dancing to the music on the radio.

"Hey, like, where's Scooby-Doo?" Shaggy asked. "He's supposed to be helping me."

"He went surfing." Daphne answered

Scooby was in fact surfing. He tried several methods, even surfing when on the surfboard. He stopped during a paddle maneuver when his paw hit something metal. So, out of curiosity, he pulled up what he hit but went wide eyed wen he saw what it was. What he had grabbed was the ghost diver they didn't see at first when getting there.

"Ripe!!!" Scooby yelped

Scooby then paddled back to the beach as fast as possible as the ghost moaned loudly and rose its arms.

Back on the beach, Shaggy had finished cooking the hot dogs.

"Okay, come and get it!!" Shaggy called out before noticing Scooby heading right for him. "Oh no."

At that exact moment, Scooby rocketed off of his surfboard and tackled Shaggy to the ground, sitting on his chest trying to explain what he saw but not making any comprehensible words.

"Hey, what's with Scooby-Doo?" Fred asked

Scooby covered his eyes and pointed back at the ghost after getting off of Shaggy. When everyone saw it, they all went wide eyed at the sight of it getting closer towards the beach.

"Zoinks!! A sea-going ghost!!" Shaggy exclaimed as he ran off

Shaggy then hopped into an umbrella and hopped along and eventually hid behind a nearby rock formation on the beach.

'Shaggy, come back!!!" Fred yelled as him, Velma, and Daphne chased after Shaggy

Shaggy was shaking, still hiding in the umbrella as Scooby arrived soon after Fred, Velma, and Daphne got there.

"Shaggy, come out of that umbrella." Velma says

"No way, uh-uh." Shaggy said as he put his head through the top of the umbrella, ripping it. "Did you see what I saw?"

"Yeah, we saw it, and we're going bac to find out what it was." Fred responds

"S-S-Swell I'll wait here." Shaggy comments. "And when you find out, send me a telegram."

Daphne and Scooby were looking back at where the ghost was and all that was there were some bubbles in the water as Daphne said, "We won't have to. Look! It's gone!"

When everyone else looked, the bubbles vanished in the water.

"RPhew-wee." Scooby sighed with relief

"There's something mighty spooky going on around here." Daphne comments

"Yeah, and I wonder what it is." Fred responds

Later, at the Malt Shop, the gang were in their usual corner booth, Fred holding a newspaper. They all had a strawberry soda, Scooby and Shaggy sharing one.

"Hey, gang, listen to this." Fred said before reading the headline of the news article along with part of it.. "'Another boat mysteriously vanishes. Sheriff ad Coast Guard are baffled by the mysterious disappearances.'"

''Beach hermit Ebenezer Shark claims it was the ghost of Captain Cutler who stole it.'" Velma read

"Ghost?!?!?!?!?" Shaggy and Scooby both questioned

"Do you think that's what we saw last night?" Daphne asked

"I don't know, but maybe that beach hermit Ebenezer Shark can give us a clue." Fred responds

"Then let's pay him a visit." Velma said, standing up. "Tonight!"

Chapter 2​

That night, the gang pays a visit to Ebenezer Shark and told them the story and asked if it's really what he thought was going on.

"Aye. Aye! I seen him with me very own eyes." Shark states. "A ghostly glow moving through the fog, just before the boats vanish."

"Bt what makes you think it was the ghost of Captain Cutler?" Fed asked

"Because it was on a foggy night such as this that Captain Cutler's boat was wrecked." Shark answered. "It collided with one of them fancy yachts from the marina sending Cutler own to the Graveyard of Ships."

Scooby gulps.

What none of them noticed due to all being inside was a large shadow on the side of the ship like house Ebenezer Shark was living in.

"But, before he disappeared into the sea, he shouted that he would return." Shark adds

"So by causing the yachts to vanish from the marina, Cutler's getting his revenge." Fred stated

"Aye." Shark confirms

Scooby walked off, sniffing around somehow picking up a scent. Out of nowhere, he fell into a hole and landed in a lower part of the ship. When he got back up, a cabinet opened revealing an old fashioned diving suit that at first, Scooby thought was the ghost.

"Ripe!!!" Scooby yelped

The suit then fell forward and landed on Scooby. He then started rolling around, fighting the suit as if t was a real person and he was barking as well.

Daphne heard Scooby barking and said, "Hey, it's Scooby!"

"Come on!" Fred adds as they all walk over to the hole

When they all looked into the hole, they saw the diving suit moving around cause of Scooby rolling around under it as he barked.

"Zoinks!! It's that ghost again!!" Shaggy exclaimed

When the barking and growling stopped, Scooby poked his head out from under the diving suit, looked up at the others, and smiled.

"That's no ghost, it's just Scooby-Doo." Velma states

"It looks like your Boltund found me old diving suit." Shark comments

"Diving suit?" Fred asked

"Aye." Shark confirms. "Now, if you want to know anymore about Cutler, I think you'd better see his wife up at the old lighthouse."

Later, after they left Shark's home and stood b the back of The Mystery Machine, Velma was the first to comment.

"There's something mighty fishy about Ebenezer Shark." Velma commented

"I'll say there is." Daphne agreed

"Yeah, he looks more like a Magikarp." Shaggy said with a chuckle

"Listen, Daph and I will stick around and keep an eye on old Shark." Fred stated. "You three go up to the old lighthouse and talk to Widow Cutler."

"ROld lighthouse?" Scooby asked

"Yeah, old lighthouse." Fred said

Scooby then gulps at the thought. The three walked over to the lighthouse.

"What a creepy-looking lighthouse." Velma comments

"Okay, Scooby. Go knock on the door." Shaggy said

Scooby walked up to the door, an went to knock but faked his paw being damaged and whimpered, clearly not wanting to knock on the door.

"Look at him. What a ham." Velma said

Scooby chuckles a little.

"I guess it's up to you, Velma." Shaggy said

"It's up to all of us." Velma said, looking at Shaggy. "Now, march."

Later, Shaggy had opened the door and held it open.

"L-Ladies first." Shaggy stuttered

Velma then walked into the lighthouse, Shaggy and Scooby watching.

"Well, come on!" Velma calls out

The two then walked in and all three looked around. The place was filled wall to wall with decor that looked like Mrs. Cutler was decorating for Halloween early.

"Wow!" Shaggy exclaimed. "Like, this place is furnished in early Halloween."

"It's obvious. She practices witchcraft." Velma states

Shaggy then found some jars with strange labels.

"Hey, look t these. What zoinky labels." Shaggy said as he picked up a jar. "'Ear of a Newt'?"

"RHey." Scooby said, getting Shaggy and Velma to look over as he points at another jar. "RWhat's this?"

"That? Oh, that's canned Mightyena laughs." Shaggy answered looking at the jar

Velma looks around before grabbing a book and looking through it.

"Look. 'Witchcraft Made Easy'." Shaggy read off of the title page of the book

"Very interesting." Velma replies

Just then, a skinny hand puts itself on Shaggy's shoulder.

"Velma, who do I know with long, skinny hands?" Shaggy asked

Shaggy looks back at who the hand belonged to, going wide eyed at the sudden appearance of Mrs. Cutler.

"Good evening." Mrs. Cutler said

"Zoinks!!!!" Shaggy screamed, running over to Scooby

Scooby yelped as he held Shaggy as the two shook out of fear.

She's short with white hair, and looks very much like an old hag. She sports a blue dress and purple shawl.

"Mrs. Cutler, I presume?" Velma asked

"Aye. I was just tending the light and didn't hear you knock." Mrs. Cutler responds. "Now, what's your problem?"

"It's about Captain Cutler." Velma states. "We think we saw his ghost."

"You did, dearie." Mrs. Cutler responds. "It was me and my witchcraft that brought Captain Ccutler back from his watery grave."

"Then it's his....ghosts....that's making these yachts vanish?" Velma asked

"Aye." Mrs. Cutler confirms. "But had I known he'd take his revenge, i'd have left him under the sea."

Scooby and Shaggy both gulp.

Velma puts the book down and says, "Well, we have to go now. Thanks for your help."

"Anytime dearie, anytime." Mrs. Cutler said as the three left as she chuchkled in a creepy way

Later, back outside the lighthouse, Shaggy managed to say something.

"Am I glad to get out of that scary pad." Shaggy said

"RMe too." Scooby agrees

"Now, our next step is to find the ghost." Velma states

Shaggy went wide eyed, seeing a moving glow n=on the nearby beach.

"I think he's found us. Look!!" Shaggy exclaimed, pointing at the glow

The moving glowing thing then went out of sight.

"Come on, after that glow!" Velma said

When they went to catch up with the glow, it went into a drain pipe.

"It's in that drain pipe!" Velma exclaimed

"Well, it got away. So let's go." Shaggy said as he walked away until Velma grabbed his shoulder

"Come here!" Velma said, pulling Shaggy back. "Scooby will go in after it."

"Oh, that's different." Shaggy commented

"RMe?!!?!??!?" Scooby questioned

"Yes, you." Velma said. "You're the only one who can squeeze into that drainpipe."

Scooby ran off and cam back, wearing a few cothes and pillows stuffed under the clothes.

"RNuh-uh. RToo fat." Scooby said

"Too fat?" Vellma sarcastically asked

Just then, the pillows popped out of the clothes making them rip.

"Would you sqeeze in for a Scooby Snack?" Velma said, holding up a Scooby snack

"RNuh-uh, uh-uh." Scooby states

"It's Razz Berry flavored." Velma adds

"RUh0huh!" Scooby said, ready for the Scooby Snack

Velma tossed the Scooby Snack to Scooby and he ate it in one go. Scooby then ran into the rain pipe. Nothing was heard until his growling and some sparking was heard and he was backing up out of the pipe, tugging on the glowing thing which was some strange seaweed as a Ratatta tried pulling it away from Scooby, but Scooby having much more strength and eventually pulling the seaweed out of the Ratatta's mouth and Scooby landed on his rear as the Ratatta ran back into the drain pipe.

Shaggy grabs the seaweed from Scooby and says, "Like, wow! Glowing seaweed!"

"It looks like you've found a clue, Scooby-Doo." Velma says

"RWell, Scooby-Dooby-Doo!" Scooby comments

Later, after having regrouped with the others, Velma in one hand was holding a book and trying to find out what the glowing seaweed in her other had was and how it would aid in the mystery.

"Did you find anything?" Shaggy asked

"Here it is." Velma says, looking at the book and having found what she needed to find. "Phosphorum Pyifra."

"Like, speak English." Shaggy stated

"A phosphorus-glowing seaweed found only in the area known as the Graveyard of Ships." Velma clarified

"That's where Captain Cutler went down!" Daphne comments with realization

"Then, maybe that's where we'll find his ghost." Fred states. "And the answer to our mystery."

"But what about Ebenezer Shark?" Velma asked

"I don't know, but he headed for the marina about an hour ago." Fred answers

Shaggy looked at Scooby and said, "I wonder what he's up to."

Later, after having gotten a boat and some scuba gear, the gang were on their rental boat and far out into the water.

"There it is. The Graveyard of Ships." Fred said as they all spotted the are aof nothing but shipwrecks

"I-I-I-I-I-I don't like it." Shaggy said with a stutter

Daphne then potted a bottle.

"Hey, look, a bottle." Daphne said, pointing at said bottle

"And there's a note inside!" Velma said

Shaggy grabbed the bottle and took out the note and read it.

"Well, what does it say?" Fred asked

"'No deposit, no return'" Shaggy read

"Big help." Velma said with sarcasm

"We're getting close." Fred stated.. "Keep a sharp lookout for anything suspicious."

Just then, a yacht from the marina was seen moving in the distance, but no one is aboard.

"Look! One of the yachts from the marina!" Daphne exclaimed, getting everyone to look at it

"Hey, there's no one aboard!" Fred states. "And the motor's not running!"

"Then, like, what's making it go?" Shaggy asked

"Ghost power." Velma answers

"I was afraid you'd say that." Shaggy responds.

Fred then has the boat follow the yacht as he says, "Come on, let's follow it!"

While following the yacht, they noticed that it was heading right towards a cove where there was no way out other than the way into the cove.

"It's going into that cove, and there's no way out!!" Fred exclaimed

However, once the gang got in the cove, the yacht was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey, something's wrong!" Fred exclaimed

"It's gone!" Daphne adds

"Vanished into thin air!" Velma further adds

"It's, like, weirdo." Shaggy stated

"Well, like I always say: Onward and downward." Fred says. "To the Graveyard of Ships, that is."

Fred then steered the boat to leave the cove and go back to the Graveyard of Ships, knowing fully well that they will find something there, even if Scooby and Shaggy don't like it.

Chapter 3​

After choosing where to dive to go into the Graveyard of Ships, everyone but Scooby was in the water.a

"We're all set." Daphne states

"Except for Scooby." Fred comments

They all look up and see Scooby holding onto a rope high up above the water, scared of the water.

"Oh, come down from there!!" Velma calls out

"Hey, Scooby, there's nothing to be afraid of!" Fred adds

Scooby was chattering his teeth, still scared. Shaggy then walks over to where the rpe is tied, still wearing his scuba suit.

"I'll get him down." Shaggy says, not noticing his foot was in a lasso. Once he untied the rope, he then gets pulled up cause of the lasso wrapping around his foot. "Zoinks!!"

"RHowdy-do!" Scooby says as he passed Shaggy on his way down

"Howdy-do yourself!!" Shaggy yells before he was falling as well. "Help!!!"

The two then crashed on a ship that was below the water, Scooby crashing in a barrel and Shaggy crashing through the deck of the ship. After grouping back with the others, they swam around the Graveyard of Ships.

"Like, wow! What a spooky place!" Shaggy comments

"It's a perfect home for that sea-going ghost." Velma adds

"Well, if we're gonna find any ghosts, we we'd better split up." Fred states. "You guys go that way..." Fred states to Shaggy, pointing to the left before pointing to the right. "And we'll go this way."

"O-O-Okay." Shaggy replied, stuttering

They then split up, Fred, Velma, and Daphne coming up to a ship and at a table in it, a deep sea diving suit with a skeleton in it.

"Look!" Daphne said, pointing at the skeleton in the suit. "What's that?"

"Could that be Captain Cutler?" Velma asked

"It could be, but there's only one way to find out." Fred replies. "Let's go inside."

The three then swam into the wrecked ship and over to the skeleton in the deep sea diving suit.

"Well....is it him?" Daphne asked

"No, look at that old fashioned diving suit." Fred states. "This thing's been down here a hundred years. Possibly longer."

Out of nowhere, the door slammed shut, locking them in.

"The door!!!" Velma exclaimed

The one that had slammed the door shut was the ghost who was now running away from he shi that Fred and the girls were locked in.

Fred swam over to the door and tried to open it, but when he realized it was stuck, he said, "We're trapped!!"

Back with Scooby and Shaggy, they peeked around a corner and saw the ghost runnig right for them.

"RHey, Raggy, look!!" Scooby said, getting Shaggy to look over and see the ghost

Scoob y held his breath, grabbed the air tube from his helmet, then used it to fill the rest of his uit with air, inflating it like a balloon before putting the air tube back in his helmet. Shaggy then grabbed a harpoon and punctured the suit which due to the release of the air, sent Scooby flying.

Scooby rammed into the ghost, knocking him over before his suit got caught on a steering wheel for one of the many sunken ships, and he was then flung through the wall of another ship right into a hidden storeroom of scuba tanks.

"RScuba tanks!!" Scooby exclaimed before realizing he needed to find the others before the ghost finds him. "Ruh-oh!"

Meanwhile, outside a door to the ship th scuba tanks were secretly stored in, Shaggy was looking for Scooby.

"Scooby-Doo???" Shaggy calls out. "Scooby-Doo, where are you???"

At that exact moment, the door swung open and pinned Shaggy against a wall until it closed and he slid down the wall, groaning. The one who had made the door open was Scooby who promptly looked over.

"RHey, Raggy?" Scooby said as he swam over. "RI found a clue! RI found a clue!"

"You found a clue?" Shaggy asked before they both heard the ghost's moaning, making them look over to see the ghost had found them. "Zoinks!!!!"

They then swam away as fast as possible, the ghost chasing after them. The two cowardly detectives found themselves at a canon which was loaded and still had a fuse in it.

"This canon is loaded! There's a fuse in it!" Shaggy exclaimed, seeing the fuse and pulling out some matches. "Fire!!!"

Shaggy tried to light the match he pulle out of the box but to no avail and realizing something he had forgotten due to fear.

"Like, no fire. I forgot matches don't light underwater!" Shaggy said

The ghost rose up over the side of the ship, moaning loudly which caused Scooby and Shaggy to swim away as fast as possible out of instinct.

Chapter 4​

Somewhere in the Graveyard of Ships, Scooby and Shaggy were pretending to be figureheads on old ships in an attempt to hide.

"Hold still, Scooby!" Shaggy called out

"RI am!" Scooby replies

Just then a random and wild Goldeen swam up to Scooby/

"rHey!! RScram! RShoo! RGo!!!" Scooby snapped, not noticing the footprints behind him until after the Goldeen swam off. "RUh-oh...."

The ghost tried to grabbed him, but he, along with Shaggy, swam off at high speeds. While swimming, they burst down the door to the ship cabin Fed and the girls were in, coming to a stop when seeing their three friends.

"Nice going!" Fred exclaimed

"We thought we'd never get out of this creepy cabin." Daphne adds

"Well, like, we never thought we'd lose that ghost." Shaggy adds

"Then you saw him too??" Velma asked, getting a nod from Scooby and Shaggy. "He's the one who locked us in."

"So we havent had a chance to find any clues." Fred adds

Scooby then remembers the scuba tank storage he found.

"RI found a clue! RI found a clue!" Scooby said, wagging his tail

"You? You found a clue?" Daphne asked

"RUh-huh! RUh-huh!" Scooby confirmed. "RFollow me!"

Scooby then leads the four right to where he found the hidden storehouse of ready to use scuba tanks.

"RSee??" Scooby states

"It's a secret storehouse of scuba tanks!" Daphne exclaimed

"Yeah, and all ready to use." Fred added

"Things are beginning to add up." Velma states

"You mean like two and two are five?" Shaggy asked

"More than that." Velma replies. "I'd like to get a close look at that ghost."

"How can we?? He's gone." Daphne states

"But his trail's not." Fred replied, finding a set of glowing footprints. "Look. Glowing footprints. Now all we gotta to do is follow them."

After following the trail, they found that it led right into the side of a cliff.

"The footprints vanish right into the side of the cliff." Velma states

"Well, if my sense of direction is right, this is the same area where that yacht from the marina vanished." Fred comments

"Now what do we do?" Daphne asked

"Like, rest. I'm pooped." Shaggy said as he sat down on a rock, it sinking down a little since it was really a secret switch. "Hey!!!! I'm sinking!!!"

Just then, the whole wall on the cliff opened up, revealing a secret passage and the rock was the way to open it.

"Look! A secret passage!" Daphne exclaimed

"You're right!" Fred replied before looking back at Shaggy. "Shaggy, you're e genius!!!!"

"I am???" Shaggy asked

"Sure." Velma replies "Who else but you could have sat on the rock that opened the secret passage?"

"I thought that rock was pretty suspicious." Shaggy said as he gt off the rock and surprisingly, the secret entrance didn't close

"Come on, gang. Let's go inside." Fred states as they all then swam into the secret passage

Their trip through the secret passage then led them to a massive underground cavern with yachts that were getting painted over in various colors.

"Wow! Wowiee!!" Shaggy exclaimed. "We're in a giant underground cavern!"

Scooby's scuba helmet had somehow gotten full of water along with the Goldeen from earlier. So, he took off his helmet making the water spill back out and the Goldeen landing in the water before he put his helmet back on.

Shaggy looked around and said, "Man! Lookie there! Like, get a load of those yachts."

"Yeah, and they're being painted over in different colors." Fred states

Daphne then immediately spotted the one they saw vanish in the cove.

"Hey, look at that yacht! It's the one that vanished in the cove!" Daphne pointed out

Fred saw a mini-sub tied to the yacht and points out, "and look, it's tied to a mini-sub!"

"It's just as we suspected, and these clues prove it." Velma states

"Then I guess, this wraps up our mystery." Daphne comments

"That is, if we can wrap up the ghost." Shaggy responded

"Not wrap him up, Shaggy, suds him up." Fred said, getting everyone confused

Later, the gang had set up atrap which consisted of a fire hose with a bottle with a soap bar in it, the ramp that led to a separate area of the cave, and a net.

"Hurry up, Fred. No telling when 'glowing gruesome' will show up!" Shaggy calls out as him and Scooby hold on tightly to a rope

"I'm ready with the fire hose." Velma says as she grabs the water pressure wheel for the hose

The last one to say anything before Fred explains his trap was Daphne.

"I hope your contraption works." Daphne comments

"It's a cinch." Fred replies. "We put a bar of soap in this spray container, attach it to this fire hose turn on the water, and instant suds!"

"And see that ramp?" Velma asked, pointing to said ramp. "The ghost comes down it, we suds it up, he slips, and we hose him right over into that net."

"And then we'll hoist him high as a Christmas goose!" Shaggy aid, getting a chuckle out of Scooby

"Okay, gang." Fred starts. "Start Operation Noisemaker!"

Just then, the gang started doing various things to make as many loud noises as possible to attract the ghost into position for the trap. When the ghost stepped into view at the top of the ramp, Fred smirked.

"Here he comes, let him have it!" Fred orders

Velma then turns on the fire hose. However, she accidentally put in too much pressure which made the hose shoot out of Daphne and Fred's hands. It moved around in the air, Shaggy having to hold on tightly so he doesn't fall to the ground and get hurt.

The hose then sprayed Scooby, forcing him over the side of the ship and blinding him as he crashed down into a motorboat.

"Scooby!!" Velma calls out

The bot Scooby was in was zooming around the area.

"He can't see where he's going!" Daphne exclaimed

The boat then rocketed off of a rock, heading right for the ghost.

"Like, look out, Scoob!!!" Shaggy yells

The boat then crashed right on the ghost, effectively trapping it as they all ran over, Scooby finally regaining his sight and shaking his head.

"Scooby, are you alright?" Daphne asked as they ran over to him

"RUh-huh." Scooby answers

Fred then grabbed the helmet of the ghost, prepared to take it off.

"Now, let's see if our mystery ghost diver is really Ebenezer Shark." Fred says

Fred removes the helmet of the ghost, revealing.........some dude they didn't know at the moment.

"It's not him." Velma said due to the fact that it was not Ebenezer Shark

"Then, who is it?" Daphne asked

After some silence, Shaggy got an idea of who it might be.

"I got it!" Shaggy exclaimed, as he grabbed some seaweed and put it on the man like a beard. "Does this seaweed help remind you of that picture on Widow Cutler's wall?"

"Captain Cutler!!!" Fred, Velma, and Daphne exclaimed

"RHuh?!?!????" Scooby asked, confused

The next day at the Malt Shop, as usual, Mystery Inc. were in their corner booth. Once again, Fred was reading a newspaper.

"Hey, listen to this, gang." Fred states. "'Teenage Sleuths Solve Boat Hijacking Mystery. Captain Cutler and his wife were taken into custody by sheriff.'"

"That was some plan they had." Velma states, taking a sip from her drink. "First, spreading that phony story about Cutler, and then stealing the yachts fro the marina."

Scooby then used some dual straw setup and set one end in Shaggy's cup and the other end in his own.

"That night on the beach, Cutler was storing extra scuba tanks in the Graveyard of Ships." Daphne states

Scooby then started sipping through a straw which transferred Shaggy's soda into his cup but not draining it somehow either.

"Yeah, but, like, his diving suit got covered with that kooky glowing seaweed." Shaggy said before catching Scooby and cutting the dual straw in half

"And THAT'S where the glowing ghost story came from." Fred states

"Well, that closes the mystery." Velma said

Scooby then starts taking a really long si from his straw, somehow drinking from everyone's cups at once. When he was finished, they all looked over at him.

"How did Scooby do that?" Daphne asked

"I guess THAT'S......another mystery." Fred said

Scooby then chuckles a bit and winks at the audience.

EPISODE 3: Hassle in The Castle​

After running their boat aground on an island during one foggy evening, the group investigate a ghost that keeps trying to scare them off the island and out of the spooky castle located there.

Chapter 1​


On an abandoned island of which a castle was located, everything was dark. The castle itself was abandoned by all living creatures, even the Pokemon on the island didn't dare enter the castle. Why? Because the one thing in the castle was a ghostly phantom. Watching. Searching. The ghost retreated into the castle after seeing a boat heading towards the island.

On the boat was Mystery Inc. They had gotten lost in the fog.

"You sure picked a spooky day to go boating, Freddy." Daphne commented

"Well, it didn't start out that way." Fred responded. "What could have happened??"

It's very simple." Velma stated. "When the barometric pressure dropped and the warm offshore air came into contact with an inland cold front, we ran into some unnavigable 'nubulation'."

"You're right Velma," Fred states, not fully understanding what Velma just said. "Whatever you said."

"I said, we're lost in a fog." Velma simplified

Shaggy poked his head out from a lower section of the boat and asked, "You buzzed?"

"No, Shaggy, go back to sleep." Velma stated

"Sleep nothing." Shaggy quickly responds. "I'm fixing me a super-Shaggy sandwich."

Shaggy then went back into the lower area he was in of the boat. Once making his sandwich, he smiled.

"Wow, my favorite." Shaggy comments, not noticing Scooby watching. "A double triple-decker Nanab berry and marshallow-fudge sandwich." he added. "Open the mouth, between the gums, look out stomach, here it comes."

When Shaggy went in to eat the sandwich, Scooby quickly swooped in and at the sandwich, leaving only the olive and Shaggy getting confused but quickly realizing what happened.

"Well, at least you left me the olive." Shaggy comments, looking at the olive

Before Shaggy could eat the olive, Scooby ducked in and ate it as well.

"With him around, I can't even get a bite in edgewise" Shaggy stated, completely confused

The boat then crashed onto the island, the gang now stranded.

"Now what happened??!???" Daphne asked

"Looks like we've run aground." Fred state as Shaggy climbed to the main area of the boat

"Yeah, but, like, where??" Shaggy asked

Velma looks at the island and goes wide eyed when spotting the castle on the island as she says, "Well, if i'm not mistaken, it looks like we're stuck on Haunted Isle."

"I'm sorry I asked." Shaggy responds

"The old Vazquez Castle is on this island, maybe we can find help there." Fred stated

Later, on the island, they were heading to the castle. The whole place was giving off a creepy vibe.

"This sure is a creepy place." Daphne comments

"Yeah, a regular gruesome camp." Shaggy added

Scooby was sniffing the ground, hoping to find some sort of trail that might help them get assistance to get off the island. His nose however led him to some sort of torn paper.

The paper moved a little, confusing Scooby. However, it then started moving away.

"Rikes!!" Scooby yelped

Scooby carefully walked over to a rock formation. When the paper stopped, Scooby lifted up the paper, revealing it was stuck on a Clauncher. Scooby chuckled a little. But that alone caused the Clauncher to grab Scooby on the nose with it's pincer.

"Reow!!!" Scooby yelped

When Scooby got his nose unstuck from the Clauncher's pincers and avoided his paws from getting grabbed as well, he had put the paper in his mouth and took off running back to the others.

"Hey, what's with Scooby-Doo??!???" Shaggy questioned

Scooby tried to stop himself, coming to a sliding stop. When he did stop, however, Fred, Velma, Daphne, and Shaggy were covered head to toe in sand. Sso, he brushed the sand off of Fred's face.

"Hey, if you wanna play in the sand, Scooby, leave us out of it, huh?" Fred said as they all got the sand off

Scooby tried to say something, but his mouth was muffled by the paper. So, Fred grabbed the paper and looked at it.

"Hey, what's this?" Fred asked, looking at the paper and seeing that it was a torn off piece of a map. "It's a torn piece of map."

When Fred got the torn map piece straightened, Scooby saw the message on the back which read, "DANGER! Leave Haunted Isle!"

"RD-A-N-G-E-R. RDanger?!???" Scooby exclaiemd, grabbing the paper

"Hey!!" Fred exclaimed, surprised

Scooby then put it back in the other way around so the others could see the message.

"Look, it's, like, a message." Shaggy pointed out

"It says....'Danger! Leave Haunted Isle!'." Fred read

"It sure looks like someone's trying to scare us off this island." Velma stated

"But who?? And why??" Daphne asked

"I don't know, gang, but it looks like we've found ourselves a mystery." Fred stated. "And maybe we'll find the answer at that old pirate castle. Come on, let's go!"

Scooby gulped and said, "ROh boy..."

While walking towards the castle, none of the group noticed that the ghost that was in the castle was watching them quietly from behind a rock. When getting up to the castle, Fred opened the front gates of the castle.

"Well, here it is." Fred states. "Old Vazquez Castle."

The gang then walked into the castle.

"Man, what a pad for a scare-in." Shaggy stated

While walking, the group came to a room that had more cobwebs than the rest of what they've seen in the place so far.

"The place looks deserted." Velma states

Fred pointed over to a painting of an old pirate and said, "Look, that's Vazquez the Pirate. He sailed the seas in 1612."

"He must've used this old castle as a hideout." Daphne comments as they walked further into the castle

"Come on, let's take a look around." Fred says as the walked

What none of the group noticed was the ghost that was haunting this castle was following them, watching.

"Man! Like, plenty spooky." Shaggy comments after hearing a scary noise further in the castle

Scooby then starts whistling to pass the time, actually scared.

"I once read these old castles were loaded with traps." Velma stated

"Oh, Velma. Don't be silly. That only happens in movi-!!!" Daphne started before she fell through a trapdoor

"Daphne!! Daphne!!!" Velma called out as the trapdoor shut

"W-W-W-What happened??" Fred asked with a stutter

"Daphne fell through a trapdoor!" Velma answered

Just then, a loud and ghostly cackle echoed all throughout the castle.

"Zoinks!!" Shaggy yelled

"Reow!!!!" Scooby yelped

The longer the cackle went on, the faster the group tried to run. Eventually, Velma somehow managed to pick up Fred, Shaggy, and Scooby, and booked it into another room, the door slamming shut behind her as the cackle finally ended.

Chapter 2​


Within the castle's walls, Fred, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby had a new goal. Find Daphne.

"Come on, we've gotta find Daphne!!!!" Fred states

"B-But what about that 'mwu-ha-ha-ha-ha'?" Shaggy asked, talking about the ghostly cackle

"It was probably........just the wind." Velma answers, still shaken up

"Well, that's the first wind i've ever heard with a sense of humor." Shaggy replied

Fred, while the group was walking, got an idea to find Daphne.

"Come on, Scooby, put your nose to work." Fred orders

"Right." Scooby replied, putting his nose to the ground

Elsewhere in the castle, somewhere deep within the walls and by some cells, some banging on wood could be heard.

"Let me out of here!!" Daphne ordered, banging on some wood by some slide. "Let me out of here!!!"

The sheet of wood retracts into the wall, Daphne sliding down and hitting the floor with a thud. She then gets up and brushes herself off and looks around.

"Wow! I wonder how I get out of this creepy inner-sanctum?" Daphne said to herself, not noticing the doorway she was in front of. "Well, my intuition tells me......that way."

When Daphne walked in said direction, she failed to notice a hand reaching out and trying to grab her. Luckily for her, though, it missed.

Elsewhere in the castle, the rest of the gang was continuing their search for Daphne. While walking, Scooby decided to start whistling to lighten the mood.

"Like, stop that whistling, you make me nervous!" Shaggy lightly scolded

When getting by a skull on some books, Shaggy and Scooby realized they had lost Fred and Velma.

"Uh-oh." Shaggy comments. ""Like, uh....which way did they go??"

"They went thataway" The skull responds, a glowing orange light eminanting from it each time it spoke

"Thanks, man." Shaggy replied to the skull

"It's alright." The skull replied

At that moment, Shaggy and Scooby screamed and ran as fast as they could, realizing a skull, an inanimate object, something that shouldn't be able to talk, just talked. When they finally stopped running to catch their breath, it was at a table which on the opposite side of said table from Scooby and Shaggy was an empty suit of armor holding a very, VERY sharp axe.

"Like, wow, a talking skull." Shaggy comments, breathing heavily. "I'm so scared, I need a ham sandwich to calm my nerves."

Just then, a ham sandwich floats down, ready for Shaggy.

"Well, whaddya know? A ham sandwich!" Shaggy comments, lifting up the bread, not seeing mustard. "Wouldn't you know, it needs some mustard."

A jar of mustard then floated down, Shaggy mixing it up a little.

"This has got to be my imagination, otherwise i'd be scared stiff!" Shaggy comments

Shaggy then spreads the mustard on the sandwich and set it on the table.

"Now, if my imagination can, like, cut it in half?" Shaggy suggests

Just then, the axe swung down, missing Shaggy's head and hands by mere centimeters as it cut the sandwich cleanly in half. This alone sent Shaggy and Scooby running. However, Shaggy quickly came back, grabbed the sandwich halves, and then ran off again.

Elsewhere in the castle, Daphne was holding a vase in the air as a weapon as she hid around a corner, hearing a set of footsteps.

"Someone's coming." Daphne told herself

When the source of the footsteps arrived, she slammed the vase down on the head only for it to have been Shaggy who made the footstep noises, still a tad shaken up from what just happened with the axe.

"Shaggy!!" Daphne exclaimed

"Ugh....hi, Daphne." Shaggy said as he fell to the ground just as Fred, Velma, and Scooby got there.

"Hey, look!" Velma exclaimed. "Shaggy found Daphne!"

"For once, he used his head." Fred scoffed. "Are you all right?"

"Yeah, just as soon as I have six or seven sandwiches." Shaggy responds

"He's all right, all right!" Velma said with a smile

Just then, the ghostly cackle was heard from earlier again. This tome, louder and closer, almost as if the source was right next to them.

"There goes that crazy wind again!!" Shaggy exclaimed

"Crazy wind, nothing!" Daphne said, pointing and getting everyone to look over at the source of the cackle. "Look!!"

The source of the cackle was a ghost! The one the gang didn't notice was following them this whole time, to be specific. The ghost was practically see-through as it floated there.

"I warn you, leave Haunted Isle and never return! The Phantom has spoken." The Phantom ominously states

The Phantom then started cackling again as it flew off, Fred, Shaggy, and Scooby chasing after it.

"Grab that phantom!!" Fred ordered

The Phantom kept cackling as it flew, Fred, Shaggy. and Scooby still chasing it. The Phantom eventually decided o stop and gloat there, it's arms crossed. Fred, Shaggy, and Scooby took this chance to dive at the ghost to grab it, only to phase right through it and crash into the drawer cabinet nearby. The Phantom laughed as it went right through a nearby wall just as Velma and Daphne got there.

"D-D-D-D-D-D-Did you see that??" Fred stuttered

"R-R-R-R-R-Reah!" Scooby replied

"Like, he went through the wall!" Shaggy added. "Non-stop!"

"There's a very logical explanation for all this." Velma stated

"Quick, tell me." Shaggy stated

"The place is haunted." Velma says

"Thanks a lot." Shaggy stated. "Why don't we take that Phantom-man's advice and clear outta this place??"

"Reah! Reah, reah!" Scooby replied

"No, Shag. We're not going." Fred states, making Scooby facepalm

"Like, why not???" Shaggy asked

"Three good reasons, Shaggy." Fred replied as Shaggy got up. "1st, no phantom's gonna scare us away. 2nd, why does he want us off this island so bad? And 3rd, we're marooned."

"I'll buy that last one." Shaggy states

"hey, fellas, over here, a clue!" Daphne said, getting Fred, Shaggy, and Scooby to walk over and looked at the strange key Daphne had found. "I found a key in an old chest. It must belong to The Phantom!"

"Hey, there's some writing on it." Fred said before going o read said writing. "It says, 'Second Passage of The Old Bell.'"

"Second passage??" Daphne asked

"Old bell???" Shaggy further questioned

"There's no old bell in this old castle." Fred stated

Velma then snapped her fingers with realization as she said, "I got it! The word passage must mean the passage in a book!"

"Then 'The Old Bell' must be the name of a book!" Fred says

'And the best place to find a book....is in the library!" Daphne added

"Right! Come on!" Fred replies

The group all then head towards the castle's library, not noticing that a painting was watching them.

Once in the library, they found the book they were looking for and opened to the second passage.

"Well, this is the book called 'The Old Bell'." Fred stated, pointing at a red line under the word 'CATACOMBS' in the book's second passage. "And look, in the second passage, the word 'catacombs' is underlined in red!"

"And if my knowledge of history is correct, we should find catacombs in the basement." Velma replied

Chapter 3​


Once getting to the catacombs door, Fred held up the key and saw that it matched the keyhole perfectly.

"This is the place." Fred stated, putting the key into the keyhole

Fred turns the key and slowly opens the door. The catacombs had lots of stuff in it, but of course, there were cobwebs as well as the rest of the stuff there.

"Okay, Scooby, go in and take a look around." Fred ordered. "We'll keep watch out here."

"RYou're kidding!!!" Scooby comments

"No, i'm not kidding." Fred says

Scooby then proceeds to pretend he's wounded, whimpering, falling to the ground, the whole nine yards.

"There he goes again with his fake wounded routine." Daphne comments

"What a ham." Velma states

Scooby then pretends to painfully whimper some more.

"Would you do it for a Scooby Snack?" Fred asks

"RNuh-uh." Scooby replied

"How about two?" Fred says

Scooby thought for a second before saying, "RThree?"

"Okay, three." Fred comments

Fred pulls out three Scooby Snacks, Nanab Berry flavored ones specifically and tossed them to Scooby. Scooby ate them right out of the air.

"RScooby-Doo!!" Scooby cheered

Scooby then ran into the room. He sniffed around and looks around, seeing if he can find anything. He walked over to a hat with a wand next to it.

Not seeing anything to really do, he reached into the hat and pulls out.....a bunny. Confused, he stuffs the bunny back into the hat and gets extremely confused when having seen the bunny was completely gone.

He grabs the wand and tapped the hat a couple times and flowers poked out. He squinted a little before the flowers squirted water right into his eye. His instinctual reaction was to shock the flowers which made them retreat into the hat. Scooby looked around again, not seeing anything that is a real danger to them and shrugged.

Scooby whistles out to the others.

"Scooby says it's okay." Daphne comments

Fred, Velma, Daphne, and Shaggy walk into the room and look around as they walk over to Scooby. There was stuff from a magic show everywhere.

"Man, look at all that crazy magic stuff. A 'saw-em-in-two' box, disappearing cabinets, levitating tables." Shaggy says. "Gosh."

"But what's all this magic stuff doing here?" Daphne asks, looking around

Velma thought for a second and said, "I think i'm beginning to figure it out."

There was then a thumping noise heard. And it was getting louder.

"Shh...somebody's coming!" Fred says. "Quick, into the closet! Hurry!"

The gang then booked it into the nearby large walk-in closet, the door slamming shut behind them. The thumping noise had stopped.

"Well, whoever it was, must've gone away." Fred commented

The Phantom's cackle was heard echoing before Daphne gasped and pointed.

"Look!" Daphne points out, everyone looking over. "The Phantom!"

"I warned you to leave the island. Now you will pay!!" The Phantom boomed

"I'll pay. I'll pay." Shaggy states, pulling out a couple of coins. "How about four bits?"

The Phantom began cackling again as Fred says, "He doesn't mean that kind of pay, let's get out of here!!"

"SCOOBY USE TACKLE ON THE DOOR!!!" Shaggy yelped

Scooby quickly used Tackle which busted the door down and they all booked it out of the closet. Shaggy ran into one of the disappearing cabinets, Velma ran into the other one, both shutting after being entered. The Phantom kept on cackling as it phased into the one Shaggy went in.

Velma then ran out of the one she went in and the other one opened, revealing somehow that Scooby was in it. Even Scooby was confused but when hearing Shaggy grunt, he gulped.

"HELP!!!! HELP!!!!" Shaggy calls out, trapped in the saw-in-two box as the saw began going through

"Shaggy!!" Velma yelped

"HELP!!!" Shaggy called out again

Velma covered her eyes as the box was cut in clean half, the half with Shaggy's legs walking off as his head fell over, being a fake.

"Hey, this is just a dummy head." Velma states

Shaggy had somehow managed to trick the Phantom and escape death. Meanwhile, the box half with the legs came to a stop and Shaggy pops out.

"Someone mention me?" Shaggy comments

Meanwhile, Fred, Daphne, and Scooby were running from the Phantom elsewhere in the castle. After Fred and Daphne lost track of Scooby, they came to a stop at a carpet rolled up on a counter.

"Hey look!" Fred says

"A magic carpet!" Daphne adds

The two quickly grab the carpet and rolled it out, both getting onto the carpet.

"Hope this trick works." Fred says. "Ali go op."

And wouldn't ya know it? It worked. The magic carpet rose into the air and began flying, Scooby having to chase after on foot.

"RWait for me!!!" Scooby calls out

Scooby jumped up and tried to get onto the carpet, only to find himself hanging onto the corner. Within seconds, they had crashed, the carpet on Scooby and he blindly ran into a nearby room.

When Fred and Daphne opened the room after Scooby banged on the door a few times, something they saw other than Scooby made them go wide eyed and shut the door again, running off.

"RHuh??" Scooby questions

It wouldn't take him long to find out what had scared off Fred and Daphne. It was when he heard the cackle of the Phantom again that he realized. He was in the room with him!

Scooby goes wide eyed when seeing the Phantom heading right for him so naturally, he ran, this time busting a hole in the door shaped like him.

Chapter 4​


Eventually, they had gotten together outside the catacombs.

"Well, we lost him." Fred says, catching his breath

"Groovy." Shaggy comments in response

"Now we gotta catch him." Fred adds

"N-N-Not groovy." Shaggy stuttered

Daphne shook her head and says, "Well, we will if we're ever gonna solve this mystery. But how?"

"Simple. And with just a few things." Fred says, looking around the room and pointing to the items he would need for his trap. "That suit of armor and crossbow...that canon ball and old spring......"

Later, after getting everything they needed into the right position, Fred eventually finished the trap. And it looked like it wouldn't work if there was even the slightest mess-up.

"I gotta hand it to you, Fred." Shaggy says. "You really know how to build a better mouse trap."

"Or in this case, a better PHANTOM trap." Fred states

"But what good is it? We can't catch a phantom!" Shaggy protests

"I have a hunch that we can catch this one." Fred replied, looking over to Velma. "Right, Velma?"

Velma nods and says, "Check. But first, we have to find him and lure him here."

"But how do we find the Phantom?" Daphne asks

"We don't." Fred answered. "Scooby does."

Scooby went wide eyed and an eyebrow raised and questions, "RMe???"

"Right." Fred replies. "With your supersleuth nose, you'll be able to sniff him out."

Scooby then ran over and began acting like he was sick, sneezing, feet in some water, and a blanket wrapped around him and everything.

"Well, look at him." Daphne comments

Scooby sneezes a few more times and says, "RA cold. RI have a cold in my nose."

"Now cut it out." Fred says. "You don't have a cold in your nose."

"But, how do we know the Phantom will chase Scooby-Doo?" Shaggy asks. "He's a Pokemon."

Fred looks at Shaggy and says, "Don't worry. We'll soon fix that."

Later, Fred had gotten Scooby into a disguise and shoved him out and begins trying to have to convince Scooby to go out and look for the Phantom to bait him into the trap. Scooby's disguise consisted of a trench coat, a small bowler hat, and a fake mustache.

Scooby whimpers a little

"Come on, Scooby, be brave." Fred says

Scooby just whimpered some more.

"Just think of Rin Din Din." Fred says

Scooby just whimpered more.

"Laddie." Fred adds

Scooby simply just whimpers.

"John Wayne." Fred added

Scooby thought for a second before saying, "RJohn Wayne?"

"Sure, Scooby." Fred says

"RScooby-Doo!!!!" Scooby cheers

Back at the doorway to the room for the trap, Velma and Shaggy had walked over.

"Like I said before, what a ham." Velma commented

Meanwhile, Scooby had walked off, looking for the Phantom.

"RYoo-hoo, Phantom!! RYoo-hoo!!!" Scooby calls out

Scooby walked over to a vase, looked around, then peeked in the vase before setting it back down.

"RNot here." Scooby says

Scooby then walks off. Not noticing the Phantom poke his head out of the vase after Scooby started walking away.

Scooby then walked over to a portrait of the Phantom and lifted it up. Behind it was the Phantom but he didn't fully notice at first.

"RHello??????" Scooby calsl out, closing the portrait

Scooby then realized what he had just seen. However, it didn't take long before he heard the Phantom cackling and he looked over, eyes narrowed.

The two began then slowly walking towards each other, one step at a time. When they were a few feet away from each other, Scooby began taunting the Phantom. Doing all sorts of things, even booing a few times.

"You cannot escape me!!!" The Phantom taunts, beginnning to fly at Scooby

Scooby began running, the Phantom chasing after him.

"RScooby-Doo!!!!" Scooby cheers

The chase went on for a few more minutes nearly and in it, the Phantom seemed to lose Scooby, looking around.

Scooby taunts a few more times, which got the Phantom's attention again and the chase resumed.

Scooby began running back for the trap room, Scooby following close behind. Back at the trap room, Fred saw the two coming.

"Get ready!! Here they come!" Fred states

Fred ran over and kneeled down by a tripwire that Shaggy had the other end of.

"Jump, Scooby!!" Fred signals

However, Scooby didn't hear them and trips right over the tripwire. He began sliding along the carpet that had been put as part of the trap.

"Oh no!!" Velma exclaims. "Scooby tripped into our trap!"

When going through the whole trap, Scooby ends up stuck in a bucket that was launched by a crossbow and on the ceiling where the chandelier was. Back down on the floor, however, the Phantom had managed to corner Fred, Velma, Daphne, and Shaggy.

"Now you will not escape me!" The Phantom taunted

Scooby began slowly coming out of the bucket. When he was fully out, he fell right onto the Phantom which effectively trapped him and caused the hands and feet of the culprit to come out of the costume as it lost it's transparency and now just looked like a white sheet.

"Yay!! We caught the Phantom!" Daphne cheers

"Thanks to Scooby-Doo!" Velma adds

"RAww...." Scooby comments

Later, an Officer Jenny and her Arcanine had arrived, the gang having tied up the Phantom.

"And so when the fog lifted, we spotted your beach boat and decided to investigate." Officer Jenny explains, turning her attention to the Phantom. "But.....who is that?"

"This?" Fred comments. "This is the end of the mystery."

Fred pulls off the mask of the Phantom revealing.......

"Well, well, if it isn't our old friend, Bluestone the Great." Officer Jenny comments. "An ex-magician that's wanted in six regions."

"But what is he doing here on Haunted Isle?" Daphne asks

"Well, he must've heard the legend of the Vazquez treasure. Everybody's after it." Officer Jenny explains

Velma thinks for a second before commenting, "I get it! So, he used all his scary magic tricks to keep people away from the island while he searched for it."

"And when he saw us run aground, he wrote a threatening message trying to scare us away." Fred adds

"Well, his scaring days are over." Officer Jenny says. "The Great Bluestone is gonna do a final dissapearing act. Courtesy of the local jail."

"One more thing." Fred states. "We figured out all those floating tricks. Watch."

Shaggy was slowly floating off a table and says, "Look! No hands!"

Velma was over behind a curtain, turning a crank.

"See? Wires." Velma points out

Fred then looks back at Bluestone who had since been untied so he could get handcuffed.

"But how did you walk right through a solid wall?" Fred asks

"One of my best acts." Bluestone comments. "Let me give one last performance. Hold this rope."

Bluestone handed Fred the rope and walked over to a projector which was positioned by a mirror.

"It was merely an illusion done with trick mirrors and a special projector." Bluestone says, triggering the projector. "I could cast my image anywhere I wanted. And by stepping away from the mirror, it appeared that I had walked through walls."

"I must admit, Mr. Bluestone, you're a good magician, but a bad phantom." Velma says

Shaggy thinks for a second.

"Man, I wonder if, like, there really is a treasure." Shaggy says

Scooby's barking was heard in the distance and Fred looked around.

"Hey, that's Scooby barking." Fred says. "Come on!"

When they went over, Scooby had dug a hole and stuck his head in the hole.

"Look! Scooby's found something!" Fred states

"Maybe it's the treasure." Daphne comments

Scooby whimpered a little and pulled his head back out of the hole. A Diglett poked it's head out shortly after and growled. Then, it proceeded to use it's own body to pull the dirt back into the hole before retracting back into the hole.

"RWell, Scooby-Doo..>" Scooby mutters, a small smile on his face

EPISODE 4: Mine Your Own Business

Scooby and the gang are called to investigate a deserted mining town that is possessed by the ghost of a 150 year-old miner after having to stop somewhere for the night.

Chapter 1​

Late at night in Gold City, a wild Mandibuzz sat atop a building and cawed loudly. An ectremely old, possibly a ghost, of a man walked out of a pathway by a boarded up entrance tot eh Gold City Mine.

Meanwhile, Mystery Inc. was just busy trying to navigate to somewhere in Unova.

"Are you sure we took a right turn, Shaggy?" Fred asks

"Sure." Shaggy answers, looking at his map. "We took this one road, and turned to the right."

Velma looked at the map and facepalmed.

"No wonder we're lost! You've been reading the map upside down!" Velma snapped, grabbing the map and fixing it before pointing at where they were. "Here's where we are, Gold City. An old ghost town."

"RGhost town??!???" Scooby questions

"What'll we do now?" Daphne comments

When they got to Gold City, the place was abandoned and Scooby ducked down in the back, cowering.

Fred then spotted something and asks, "Hey, what's that over there?"

Everyone else looked over at the sign Fred had found.

"'Gold City Guest Ranch."." Velma comments. "It's vacant."

"Well, there's lights on in the place, so someone has got to be there. Maybe we could spend a night there." Fred says

"RThere?!?!??!??" Scooby questions

"Yes, there." Fred responded

Scooby whimpered a little.

After some reluctance from Scooby, they eventually walked over to the door of the guest ranch.

"Go ahead. Ring the bell, Shaggy." Fred says

"Ring-a-ding-ding comin up!" Shaggy says, beginning to ring the doorbell of the guest ranch

The man who answered was Big Ben, the owner of the ranch.

Big Ben is a tall (and somewhat portly) Caucasian male, with red hair and a rounded double chin. He wears a pine green long sleeved shirt with a purple ascot. He also wears black cowboy boots, green pants, and a black belt.

"Welcome, kids. Come on in." Big Ben said. "I'm Big Ben, owner of this guest ranch."

"Do you happen to have any rooms for the night?" Fred asked sarcastically

:Do I?" Big Ben comments, scoffing. "You're my only guests. Come on in and register and i'll all old Hank."

When walking in, they got registered and Big Ben looked into the halls of the ranch.

"Hank! Oh, Hank! We have some guests!!" Big Ben calls out

Hank then arrives.

Hank is a short, elderly Caucasian male, with gray hair and has a very raspy voice. He wears a pale blue long-sleeved shirt with a black vest over top. He also wears blue jeans, a black belt and black cowboy boots.

"This is Hank, the caretaker here at the ranch." Big Ben says

"Pleased to meet you." Hank greeted

"Hank, show the guests to their room like a good feller." Big Ben said

Hank nodded and said to the gang, "Follow me."

Hank then took them upstairs to show them their rooms.

"That'll be the girls room, and you fella s can bunk in this one just across the hall." Hank said

"These sure are nice rooms." Daphne said

"I can't understand why the place is empty." Velma added

"It's the miner." Hank responded

"The miner????" Fred and Shaggy questioned

"RThe who???" Scooby added

"The Miner Forty-Niner." Hank says

"Forty-Niner??!???" Daphne and Velma comment

"Yes siree." Hank responds. "He came to Gold City wayy back in 1849. And he can't rest until he finds the last vein of gold."

"1849?" Fred comments

"Like, wow. Now that's what I call an ancient miner." Shaggy stated

"That's for sure." Hank replied. "And at night, you can hear the mine moaning, calling for the miner."

"But what has he got to do with the ranch?" Velma asked

"I don't know. But lately, he's been coming up here and scaring the guests away." Hank answers. "And i'm going away in the morning myself."

"Man, that's the wildest tale I ever heard." Shaggy says as Hank walked off

""Ridiculous! A hundred year old miner." Velma scoffs

"Still, something must've scared off the guests." Daphne stated

Fred looked at his watch and said, "Well, it's still early. Why don't we go into the ghost town and take a look around?"

When back in the Mystery Machine, they drove around Gold City's ghost town section.

"Wonder what it's like on a Saturday night." Shaggy comments

"What a spooky old street." Fred commented further

Part of some window shudders on a building somewhere in the town fell to the ground and it made a loud enough noise to echo throughout the whole place which made Shaggy jump a little.

"I've seen enough!!" Shaggy yelps. "Let's go back!!!!!"

Fred then pulled to the side of the road and looked at Shaggy.

"Not until we walk around this ghost town and see what we can find." Fred said

"Like, I know what we'll find." Shaggy comments

"What?" Daphne questions

"Ghosts!" Shaggy answers

When walking around, they failed to notice someone was watching them from one of the buildings. When reaching somewhere, Shaggy and Velma opened some shudder doors and found themselves in a real saloon.

"Look, Shaggy, a real old time western saloon." Velma comments

Shaggy looked around and saw the place was in fact old. Really old.

"When you said old, you weren't just quite kidding." Shaggy comments

Shaggy and Scooby walked over to the bar in the saloon.

"Sarsaparilla, bartender." Shaggy said in an orderly manner

"RTwo!" Scooby added

Someone then slid a couple of cups down the bar to Scooby and Shaggy but all that was on and in the cups was some spider webs.

"No wonder this place is empty." Shaggy comments. "You ask for a sarsaparilla and all you get is a glass of spider webs."

Shaggy and Scooby then looked at each other wide eyed.

"Spider webs?!?!?!???" The two yelped

Then, the piano began playing on it's own, causing the two to look over while shaking.

"ZOINKS, GHOSTS!!!!" Shaggy yelped as he ran off, carrying Scooby

Velma then walked over to the piano and noticed it was an automatic piano.

"It's not a ghost, it's a player piano." Velma said, looking up at Shaggy and Scooby, who were in some draperies and back at the piano

"So who's playing it??!???" Shaggy questioned

"It's automatic." Velma answers. "It must've turned itself on automatically."

Velma then switched the piano off and looked at Shaggy and Scooby.

"Now come down out of those draperies." Velma ordered

Shaggy and Scooby fell to the ground, Scooby landing on top of Shaggy.

"Like, why couldn't you have been a Lycanroc?" Shaggy comments to Scooby, dazed

Chapter 2​

They later met up with Fred and Daphne outside a hotel.

"Did you guys find any clues?" Fred asks

"Not a one." Velma responds

"Neither did we." Fred responds to Velma. "Let's take a look inside this old hotel."

"Maybe our mysterious miner rented a room for the night." Shaggy comments

When going into the hotel, the gang had a look around. The place really was old. Extremely old.

"What a creaky, creepy place." Daphne comments

Scooby walked off on his own.

"Hey, Scooby, come on!" Shaggy comments

However, Scooby kept walking to investigate something in his own.

"W-Wait for me!!" Shaggy comments, managing to catch up to Scooby, the room he went into being empty. "It's lucky for you the room's empty. Let's get back to the others."

A window blew open and something snagged Shaggy's shirt, prompting him to gulp.

"HE'S GOT ME!!!!" Shaggy yelped. "HELLPP!!!!"

The two took off running, screaming as the ran and Shaggy holding onto Scooby's tail. However, the two get pulled right out the window and onto a tree as what snagged Shaggy's shirt was just a tree branch.

"It's only a tree-branch." Shaggy says. "I knew it all the time."

Scooby snickered a little. Back in the hotel, they had gotten back grouped up.

"The only place we haven't looked....is the old mine" Daphne says

"And that's all boarded up." Fred comments

Velma thought before saying, "I'm beginning to think there really isn't an ancient miner."

"Well, let's keep moving." Fred comments as they began walking. "Keep together, now."

As they walked, Scooby stopped in front of a mirror, admiring his reflection. He decided to goof off a bit before the Miner 49er appeared in place of his reflection, causing confusion. However, he yelped and ran when the Miner 49er tried to grab him.

As he ran, he ended up tearing down a curtain that blinded him and snagged a cigar store indian and began tugging it along after him.

"ZOINKS!!!" Shaggy yelped, not noticing it was a cigar store indian. "THE MINER'S CHASING SCOOBY!!!"

However, they all fell to the ground when Scooby crashed and the cigar store indian's head was stuck on Scooby's head and the rest of the gang was near the rest of the cigar store indian.

"Some miner." Velma says. "It's only a cigar store indian."

Scooby was desperately trying to remove the cigar store indian head from his own before eventually getting it off.

"Scooby, quit clowning." Daphne says

"RWho's clowning???" Scooby questioned, setting the fake head down

Fred reached into the cigar store indian, feeling around when noticing it was hollow.

"Look, it's hollow!" Daphne points out

Fred felt something within the indian and questions, "Hey, what's this inside?"

Fred pulled out what looked like a map of the city.

"It looks like a map of Gold City!" Velma says

"And look how new it is!" Daphne comments

"What's a new map like that doing in an old indian like this?" Shaggy questioned

"It's quite simple." Velma responds. "Someone was hiding it."

Fred noticed a bunch of numbers on the corner of the map.

"Maybe these numbers mean something." Fred says before reciting the numbers in question. "'Left 10, Right 7, Left 4, Right 23'."

"Maybe it's directions to a buried treasure." Daphne says

"Yeah, like, a fortune in buried chocolate cheeseburgers!" Shaggy comments

Scooby licked his lips.

"But those directions don't make sense." Velma comments

"Then they must mean something." Fred says

"But what?" Daphne questions

Velma thought before getting an idea of what it could mean.

"I got it!" Velma comments. "I bet it's the combination to a safe."

"And...there's an old safe in the lobby of this hotel!" Fred comments

Chapter 3​

Later, down in the hotel lobby by the safe, Fred had hte map as SHaggy was the one to put the code in.

"Okay, Shaggy, you work on the combination as I read off the numbers." Fred instructed

"Okay, but I need a moment to warm up." Shaggy comments, stretching his arms and fingers. "Now, I must have ABSOLUTE QUIET while I work."

As Shaggy put in a combination, Scooby tilted his head.

:Oh, Shaggy-" Fred comments

""Shh! Quiet!" Shaggy intercepts, looking back

"Look, I have the combination, just turn the knob to the right." Fred says

"Well, why didn't y say so???" Shaggy comments

Scooby turned the large handle knob to the right and opened the safe, saying, "RIt's open."

"Stop showin off, Scooby, I knew it was open all the time." Shaggy comments

They looked to see what was in the elevator and it was a secret elevator of sorts!

"Like, wow! Get a load of that!" Shaggy says

"A secret elevator!" Daphne points out

"Well, let's see where it goes. All aboard!" Fred says as they each stepped into the elevator, but Scooby stayed behind. "Come on, Scooby."

"RUh-uh. Ruh-uh!!" Scooby protests

"Come on, Scooby, you're not chicken." Fred says

Scooby began walking back and forth, making various chicken noises.

"Would you come with us for a Scooby Snack?" Daphne bribed

Scooby stopped and looked at them, quickly thinking it over.

"RTwo?" Scooby asks

"Okay, two it is." Daphne says

Daphne tossed Scooby a couple of Nanab Berry flavored Scooby Snacks, which he devoured in seconds.

"RScooby-Doo!!!" cheered Scooby, bolting into the elevator

When the elevator went down, it ended up crashing in a tunnel in the mine.

"Wow! Look where we landed." Fred says

"A mine tunnel." Daphne stated

"It must be the old Gold City mine!" Velma comments

"Well, if there is a miner, this is where we'll find him." Fred says as they began walking. "Come on!"

As they began walking further in, it began getting more dark.

"It's sure dark in here," Daphne says

"Yeah, and Charizard can't fit in these tunnels." Fred comments. "Which is bad cause we could really use some light."

Shaggy luckily found something and pulled out some matches.

"Hey, I found some candles!" Shaggy comments, striking the match and lighting th efuse of what he found

It took Velma a milisecond to realize what it was that Shaggy just lit the fuse of.

"Shaggy, that's dynamite!!!!!" Velma yelped

"D-D-D-D-D-D-D--D-DYNAMITE???!?!?!???" Shaggy stuttered

Shaggy desperately tried to blow out the fuse of the dynamite but to no avail so he just chucked it down some random path of the mine tunnel system just as it blew up, blocking off that path, Scooby and Shaggy shushing each other.

They managed to find a fully lit end of the mine.

"That's strange." Daphne comments. "This end of the mine's lit by lanterns!"

"Yeah, and I wonder who lit them." Fred comments

A moan then echoed throughout the mine.

"Zoinks!" Shaggy comments. "Y-Y-You had to ask!"

"That must be the moan that Hank was talking about." Velma stated

"i think we'd better split up and try to find out where that moan came from. I"ll go this way with Daphne and Velma," Fred starts pointing one way before pointing another way to instruct Shaggy and Scooby. "And you go that way with Scooby-Doo."

"Thanks a lot." Shaggy says

"And Shaggy..." Fred says, making Shaggy look back as they began walking. "If you find anything, holler."

"I'm liable to holler even if I DON'T find anything." Shaggy comments

As they walked, Shaggy was quietly whistling to keep the mood a bit light. However, he saw a shadow on the wall and yelped, hiding behind a mine cart. However, the cause of the shadow was just Scooby goofing about.

"What are you trying to do, Scooby??" Shaggy questioned as Scooby snickered. "Well, quit the clowning and come on!"

As they walked off, Scooby and Shaggy both began whistling to keep their minds off of the whole uneasy vibe of the mines. The two then found themselves in a hall of multiple doors.

"Look at all these doors!" Shaggy comments. "You look in one of those and i'll look in this one."

Scooby opened one of the doors on his side of the hallway and standing there was....The Miner 49er!

"Ruh-oh!!!" Scooby yelped, slamming the door shut

When the door was shut, Scooby ran over and tried to tell Shaggy but all that came out were incoheerent babbles.

"You gotta be kidding." Shaggy comments, gulping. "I suppose you want me to take a look?"

Scooby nodded various times.

"That's what I was afraid of." Shaggy comments

However, when Shaggy opened the door.....the Miner 49er was nowhere to be seen.

"It's empty." Shaggy comments as Scooby walks over and confusingly looked around. "What are you trying to do, scare me again?"

Shaggy shut the door. Scooby mumbled and grumbled to himself before opening the door and....the Miner was back! This time when he slammed the door shut, he ended up hopping in Shaggy's arms, shaking.

"What now???" Shaggy questioned

Scooby whimpered and pointed at the closet, knowing what he saw.

"Boy, what a Scarey-pokemon." Shaggy comments. "You still think there's something in that closet?"

Scooby nodded.

"Okay, we'll switch. You look in this door and i'll look in that one." Shaggy said as he set Scooby down. "And there better be something in it!"

When Scooby opened his newly assigned door, standing there was the Miner 49er!

"ROH NO!!!!!" Scooby yelped

"ZOINKS!!!" Shaggy yelped. "IT'S THE MINER 49ER!!!!!"

Scooby slammed the door shut as the two took off like the wind to get away from the ghostly miner.

Meanwhile, Fred and the girls were looking around some sort of old room in the mine and it had various things in it like barrels and even bags of flour.

"Hm. This must be a storeroom." Fred comments

"Careful, those old floorboards look weak." Velma says

Fred looks back and says, "I know, I know."

"LOOK OUT!!" Daphne shouts

Suddenly, the floor broke under Fred and the girls ran and looked into the hole to see if Fred was okay.

"Are you alright????" Daphne shouts

"Say something!!" Velma adds

Fred coughed as he removed a busted flour bag from his head, doused in the flour from the bag.

"I'm alright, just covered with flour." Fred comments, coughing again. "You wait up there, i'll be right up."

Elsewhere in the mine, Scooby and Shaggy were still running to escape the ghostly miner they ran into.

"We gotta, like, find a place to hide!" Shaggy says as they came to a stop at a door. "Quick! In here!"

When they opened the door, what was there was the flour covered Fred but the guys were too filled of panic from seeing the Miner 49er to see it was Fred.

"Zoinks!!!!" Shaggy yelped. "A g-g-g-g-ghost!!!! Let's get out of here!!"

They bolted off again, hopping into some mine carts that began rolling along some tracks, Shaggy sighing with relief.

"We finally got away from that gooney miner." Shaggy comments

However, the Miner 49er rose up from the cart the one they were in was connected to, growling.

"IT'S HIM!!!!" Shaggy yelped

Scooby reached and disconnected the mine carts, just barely dodging a snatching up attempt. Then, the mine cart chase ensued, going through tunnels and during it, Scooby SOMEHOW ended up in the ghost's cart, nervously chuckling.

Then, not long after he ended up back with Shaggy their cart ended up hitting a cart stopper and they began tumbling down on some barrels that were un luckily right there.

Down where near the barrels were heading for, Fred and the girls were located.

"LOOK OUT!!!!" Fred shouts

However, the barrels crashed and when the smoke cleared, Fred and Velma went to see if they were okay.

"Are you guys alright?" Velma asks

"Groovy." Shaggy responds, a tad dazed

However, when looking around, Daphne was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey,. what happened to Daphne?" Fred questions

"I fell down in here!!!" Daphne shouts from a mine shaft

Fred looks back and comments, "Wouldn't you know it? Danger prone Daphne fell into a mine shaft."

"Ri'll get her." Scooby says

"YOU'LL get her?" Shaggy questioned

"RUh-huh." Scooby responds

When getting to the hole, the first thing he actually pulled out was....The Miner!

"It's the Miner 49er!!!" Velma yelped

Scooby shocked the Miner 49er, dropping him back down in the hole just as Daphne arrived from another path.

"Hey gang, there's a maze of secret passages down there!" Daphne stated. ""And guess what I saw in that mine?"

"Yeah, we saw him too." Fred responds

"I guess Hank wasn't kidding about that ancient miner." Velma comments

A moan then echoed throughout the mine, everyone looking around.

"Do you suppose that was the miner moaning?" Daphne asks

"Well, like, if i had a face like that i'd moan too!" Shaggy jokingly comments

Velma noticed something on the ground.

"Hey look! I found a clue." Velma says, picking up part of a wire. "It seems this wire leads up toa speaker."

"Now things are beginning to make a little bit of sense." Fred comments

"And I have a hunch about what we'll find at the other end of this wire." Velma stated

When they went to the end of the wire opposite of the speaker, Velma's hunch was proven.

"I was right. A tape recorder." Velma comments

"So that accounts for our mysterious moaning." Fred says

Shaggy picked up a jar and opened it.

"Hey, look what I found! Jars of chocolate syrup!" Shaggy comments

Scooby licked his lips. Fred took the jar and took a smell and did dipped the bare tip of his finger in, testing the consistency and it sure as hell wasn't chocolate syrup as he cleaned his finger off.

"Chocolate syrup nothing! These jars are samples of crude oil!" Fred stated

"Oil???? In a gold mine??" Daphne questioned

"Hey, things are now really starting to get mysterious." Fred commented

"And what about our mysterious miner?" Velma asks

"I got a hunch he'll show up soon." Fred comments, picking up the tape recorder's mic. "Let's burrow this microphone and Shaggy, we're gonna need you too."

Later, the trap was all set. Shaggy began managing to make train noises with his mouth as Scooby was pedaling a cart with a light on it to chase the miner into the trap.

"Listen to that Shaggy go!" Velma comments

"And Scooby's great at being the train." Daphne adds

It worked and the miner ran right into the shack where Fred slams the door shut and latched it closed.

"Got him!!!" Fred comments before looking back, noticing Scooby approaching. "Uh oh, Scooby can't stop!!!"

Fred jumped out of the way as Scooby crashed through the shack with the Miner 49er still in the shack.

"Scooby went right through the shack! He's got him!" Daphne comments

"I hope." Velma says in response

When they went to investigate, The Miner 49er was just barely hanging onto the edge.

"Hey, that's gotta be our ghostly miner." Fred says

"But where's Scooby?" Daphne questioned

Scooby's yelps and cries for help were heard before he thudded to the ground below, holding the Miner 49ers boots.

"RHuh???" Scooby questioned

Shaggy took a look and noticed that under the miner's boots, the culprit had on stilts!

"Look! Stilts!!!" Shaggy points out

Everyone took a look and Velma says, "Shaggy's right! He IS wearing stilts!"

"Then this means that THIS can only be ONE person." Fred comments, grabbing the Miner 49ers beard and tripping it off and the hat went flying off revealing the Miner 49er to be.....

"Hank!" Fred comments

"Hank?!?!!?!?!??? Velma and Daphne questioned

Hank looked down and muttered, "Oh dagnabbit...."

Later, they were meeting with Big Ben outside the ranch and explained everything to him.

"So it was ol Hank who was scarin off my guests?" Fred asks

"To force you out of business." Fred confirmed

"That way he could buy the ranch, ghost town..." Velma starts

"And, like, the mine for almost nothing." Shaggy finished

Big Ben thought before saying, "Then there must still be gold in that old mine."

"Not gold gold, black gold." Daphne stated

"You mean oil???" Big Ben comments

"Like, right." Shaggy confirmed

Scooby licked his lips when seeing a tree of Sweet Apples and going to pick some.

"But how did Hank know about the oil?" Big Ben asks

"He accidentally stumbled a secret mine entrance in the old hotel's safe." Daphne stated

"And instead of gold, he found oil." Velma added

"He had the exact location of it laid out on a map." Fred elaborated

"And then he, like, stored the map in the cigar store indian for safekeeping." Shaggy added

Big Ben sighed and said, "Too bad, we could've been partners."

"Now instead of being rich, he's in jail." Fred stated

Shaggy looked around, not seeing Scooby, unaware he was picking Sweet Apples from the nearby tree.

"hey, like, what happened to Scooby??" Shaggy comments

When they spotted Scooby, he was using the stilts Hank had for the costume to pick the apples.

"There he is!" Daphne says

Scooby was completely unaware he was heading right for a Diglett hole.

"Scooby, look out for that Diglett hole!!!" Fred shouts

However, it was too late and he stepped in it, losing his balance and falling into a wooden water tub, still holding a couple of the Sweet Apples, but also a bit dazed from the fall.

"RScooby-Doo!!!!" cheered Scooby

"One of those Sweet Apples better be for me." Shaggy comments

Scooby snickered a little as he removed the stilts from his paws.

Episode 5: "Pawn For a Poke-Napper"​

When Mystery Inc. hear about a series of Poke-nappings, they investigate. But when Scooby is Poke-napped, mistaken for another Boltund, the gang track him to a secret hideout in the desert where they face a witch doctor and a ghostly Indian on horseback.

Chapter 1​

While on the beach one night, the gang could hear Scooby barking and approaching as if he was in a rush.

"That sounds like Scooby-Doo!" Daphne says

"He's sure in a hurry." Fred comments

Scooby approached barking several times.

"Scooby-Doo, what's with you???" Shaggy asks

Scooby grabbed the knob on the radio and twisted it a few times, changing the station to a news station.

"Here's a bulletin just in! Flash! The third prize Pokemon kidnapped in the last three days!" The news anchor spoke

"Wow! Like, a Pokemon crime-wave." Shaggy comments

"Sssssshh." Scooby shushed Shaggy

"Here's another bulletin: Buck Masters, owner of the first Pokemon stolen, has just offered a 500 dollar reward." The news anchor added

Fred thought before saying, "Gang, we've just been handed our next mystery, And we'll start with Mr. Buck Masters."

"Reah! Reah! Reah" Scooby comments, nodding

Later, they went to talk to Buck Masters and asked him a few things.

"That's right, i've decided not to pay the ransom. I'd rather use the money to catch those crooks." Masters replies. "I was sure to win first prize at the County Dog Show this year. Now Bob Miller's Boltund ins a shoe-in!!"

"RBoltund???" Scooby comments

"Did you say 'Boltund'?" Fred asked

"Yes. Bob's been grooming his dog for this show all year." Masters responds

"But if that's the case, isn't the Boltund in danger?" Daphne asks. "He could be Poke-Napped!!"

Masters sighed before saying, "Don't worry, I warned Bob and ha only takes his dog out for exercise at night and only then, on Beach Blvd. near the police station. It's seeming safe from there."

"Sir, we're going to find out who's stealing those dogs AND why." Fred says

"Yup. Poke-nappers beware." Velma comments

"Frankly, I don't see what you kids can do." Masters states. "I don't have a single lead to give you."

"That's all right, Mr. Masters, we HAVE a plan." Fred says

Scooby rose an eyebrow and questions, "RWe do???"

Later, in the back of the Mystery Machine, Fred had a picture of Bob Miller's Boltund.

"See this picture of the champion? This'll help a lot." Fred says

"Come on, Freddy, tell us, like, what's the plan." Shaggy comments

'Reah!" Scooby states

"Simple." Fred responds. "We'll give the Poke-nappers a decoy. And then when they grab the decoy, we'll trail them to their hideout."

"But what if we lose the Poke-nappers???" Shaggy questions

Fred shook his head and says, "Not a chance. We'll plant a tiny transmitter in the decoy's collar. Our direction finder will do the rest."

"Yeah, but who's the decoy???" Shaggy questions. "Scooby-Doo?"

Scooby sneered back and shook his head.

"Scooby's got a point there." Shaggy says. "Who'd Poke-nap Scooby for ransom?"

. "We'll fix that." Daphne says. "And Scooby'll be brave. Won't you, Scooby?"

Scooby shook his head.

Daphne pulls out a Scooby Snack and says, "Now, here's a Scooby Snack for courage."

However, before Scooby could eat it, Shaggy stuck his head in and ate it.

"Shaggy, why'd you do that??!???" Velma questioned

"Because I know who's stuck with the job of taking the decoy on a leash!" Shaggy comments, finishing the Scooby Snack. "Not bad. Not bad at all."

Daphne pulls out another Scooby Snack and says, "Now here's a Scooby Snack for you, Scooby."

Daphne chucked the Scooby Snack to Scooby, who had to shove Shaggy back so Scooby could eat the Scooby Snack.

"Okay, the decoys are fed." Fred said. "Now let's get down to work."

Later, Daphne and Velma were giving Scooby a wash while having their sleeves rolled up.

"What are we doing? Solving mysteries or running a beauty parlor for pooches?" Velma comments, chuckling a little

After Scooby's bath was done, Fred was trying to get the new collar onto Scooby as part of the decoy getup.

"Hold it, Scooby. Wait till I get your new collar on." Fred comments, finishing. "Now, how do you like that?"

Scooby smiled and snickers.

Later, Shaggy, in a trench coat and bowler hat, and Scooby with the newer collar, were stationed on Beach Blvd. in place of Bob Miller and his Boltund

"Welp, Bob Miller said we could take his place tonight, Scooby." Shaggy says. "So come on, champ, let's walk."

"RScooby-Doo!!" Scooby cheers, starting to walk suddenly, startling Shaggy a bit

"Hey, take it easy! Slow down!" Shaggy comments

When stopping in a window, Scooby took a look at his reflection and his tail wagged.

"Come on, Scooby, you're a decoy, remember?" Shaggy comments. "Keep your mind on your work!"

When going along, after having gone past a pink Furfrou and Shaggy just told Scooby to keep going, suddenly, trash started falling from the sky and Scooby ducked, Shaggy grabbing his hat and using it to catch everything.

"At least you don't have to take another bath. And lucky for you, i'm a canine Pokemon lover." Shaggy says, sneering from all the trash. "Yuck!!!"


Chapter 2​

Later, while walking, they suddenly came across a vehicle that started up, kciking up an unusual amount of smoke.

"Wow! Look at that truck smoke!" Shaggy comments

While there was smoke, something cut the leash Shaggy had and Scooby was heard yelping, "RHelp! RHelp! RHelp!!!"

"Scooby! They got him!!!" Shaggy yelped, seeing the leash was cut

As the truck got moving, Shaggy gave chase as Scooby was heard yelping.

"I'm coming, Scooby, i'm coming!!!" Shaggy calls out, realizing he can't catch the Poke-nappers on foot. "I'll never catch them this way!"

Shaggy then spots a friend of his at a gas station as he ditched the disguise, still having his normal clothes on under it.

"Charlie! Charlie!!" Shaggy called out, coming to a stop

Charlie is a Caucasian male that has black hair. He wears a dark green jumpsuit with a pale blue shirt underneath. He also wears a dark green hat, and black shoes.

"You got any wheels I can burrow?" Shaggy asks. "This is an emergency!"

"Just my motor scooter." Charlie responds

Shaggy rushes off on the said motor scooter.

"THANKS MAN!!!!" Shaggy calls out Scooby's position.

Back on Beach Blvd., Fred, Velma, and Daphne were in the Mystery Machine, trying to track Scooby's position.

"Well, here's Beacn Blvd." Fred comments. "But no sign of Shaggy OR Scooby."

Velma was on a computer in the back that had Scooby's position on it.

"That transmitter on Scooby's collar is moving awfully fast." Velma comments. "The Poke-nappers must have Scooby!!"

"Okay, here's our chance." Fred says, hitting the gas. "Here we go!"

Meanwhile, Shaggy was hot on the trail of the Poke-nappers.

"RHELP!!! RHELP!!!!!" Scooby yelps

Shaggy was still chasing after the Poke-napper van on the motor scooter but went wide eyed when he heard an indian call.

"OH NO!!!!" Shaggy yelps

Chasing after Shaggy was the Ghost of Geronimo, which was a phantom-like indian on horseback, giving out a sort of indian war cry of some kind while waving around a tomahawk.

"MAN, IT'S GERONIMO!!!!!!" Shaggy yelps

Shaggy failed to notice that the motor scooter hit a rock, sending it and Shaggy flying through the air into some bushes as the ghost vanished into the night with the dognapper van.

Later, in the Poke-napper hideout, the dognapper was talking to his boss, a witch doctor.

"I got him, boss." Mike, the one who is pulling all the Poke-napping aspects of whatever is brewing, states

The witch doctor appears to be of average build and wore a beige Native American shirt and pants along with a large headdress consisting of black horns and white hair. He is dark-skinned.

"So you got Miller's Boltund? Good work, Mike." The witch doctor comments. "Let's have a look."

The witch doctor opened it revealing Scooby in his decoy outfit as he steps out of the crate and shook.

"You fool!!! That's not Bob Miller's champion Boltund!!!" The witch doctor snaps. "How could you mistake this mutt for a show Pokemon???!?"

"Gee, boss, he was right where you said he'd be." Mike says

"Get this phony decoy out of here!" The witch doctor orders

Mike rose an eyebrow and questions, "But what do I do with him?"

"Give him a ride down the mountain on the old handcar." The witch doctor responds. "By the time it stops, he'll be 20 miles away."

Mike rolls his eyes and grabbed Scooby as he said, "Come on, back in the crate."

When Mike got Scooby back in the crate, part of the floor had come up with Scooby's paws. Meanwhile, Shaggy was explaining everything to the others as they had just arrived to where he was.

"...and when this weirdo indian attacked, I felt like a late show rerun of Custer's Last Stand." Shaggy explains

"Are you sure it was a real indian?" Fred asks

"Real?!?!??? Why, when he waved that tomahawk, even my hair was scared!!!" Shaggy responds

Velma had been examining the road.

"Well, no hoofprints in the road." Velma says, picking something up. "But here's something I found. It's an authentic indian relic. Thousands of years old."

Shaggy gulped and said, "I told you he looked kind of ghostly."

The computer connected to the tracker began beeping again.

"Hold it, gang!" Daphne called out. "The transmitter on Scooby's collar is moving again. And it looks like it's heading for....Indian Gap!"

Fred walked over and said, "Let's plot an intercept course!"

"Oh no....poor Scooby...." Shaggy comments, gulping

Later, at the starting end of a set of train tracks, Mike had Scooby in a crate with straps attaching it to a handcar.

"As a decoy, you're a dud." Mike states. "Well, so long, pooch. Enjoy the ride!"

Mike gave the handcar a shove and it shot down some tracks. Scooby used one of his claws to cut a hole in it and punched what wood he cut and pokes his head out. Then, he rockets past the Mystery Machine.

"hey, that was Scooby!!!" Shaggy yelps. "Hey, Scooby-Doo!!!"

Scooby looks back and barked as Fred got to driving.

"hang on, Scooby, we'll save you!" Shaggy calls out. "Hurry, Freddy, give her the gas!"

Fred hit the gas, speeding up to where he'd at least be next to the handcar and Shaggy got ready to jump.

"One for the money, two for the show...three to get ready...and here I go!!!" Shaggy comments, making the jump

Shaggy made it across, landing safely on the handcar. However, the track went onto a track-bridge.

"We're on a trestle!!!" Shaggy yelped

The Mystery Machine came to a stop just barely saving everyone in it from falling to their demise.

"Boy, was that close!" Fred comments

Back further on the trestle, the handcar was still going really fast.

"As soon as we slow down, Scooby, i'll get you out of that crate!" Shaggy says before hearing a train horn. "What's that?? Sounds like the Midnight Express."

Shaggy looked back and jumped a little.

"Yeow!!! It is!!" Shaggy yelped, grabbing a lever to pull. "I hope this is the brake!"

Shaggy tried to pull the brake lever but the age of the handcar was preventing it from holding.

"It's rusty!!! It isn't holding!" Shaggy states

Scooby grabbed Shaggy's back with his mouth and gave a tug and their combined forces allowed the handcar to be able to stop. Once it did, Shaggy began going back towards where they came from.

"RFaster! RFaster!!" Scooby yelps

"I'm going faster!!" Shaggy comments

Back at the area the two came from, they could see what was going on.

"Here they come!!" Velma called out

"That train is getting awfully close!" Daphne adds

Fred then remembered something.

"There was a switch by the crossroad!" Fred recalled. "Come on, let's go!"

Fred then backed up and sped to the said switch. The moment Scooby and Shaggy were in range, Fred pulled it, diverting the track to a side track and the two stopped, allowing Fred to make the track's path going straight forward again.

The Midnight Express shot past them, Scooby and Shaggy safe once again.

Chapter 3​

They then got Scooby out of the crate, Scooby sighing with relief.

"Scooby, you're a brave decoy." Daphne says

"Did those ol Poke-nappers hurt you, Scooby?" Velma asks

Scooby shook his head. Shaggy, however, was out of breath.

"This is all very nice, but it doesn't solve the mystery." Fred comments. "Scooby, can you tell us where the Poke-nappers took you?"

Scooby nodded and did some miming and mimicked an indian war-cry.

"Not the indian.....not the Ghost of Geronimo..." Shaggy comments

"Reah! Reah! RGeronimo!" Scooby comments

"Well, we've only got one lead." Fred says. "And that's to backtrack to that old railroad spur. Everybody game?"

Scooby gulps. Later, they were going along the tracks when out of nowhere, an arrow hit the car.

"GERONIMO!!!!!" Scooby and Shaggy yelp

"Stop the car!!! Stop the car!!!" Shaggy called out

The car came to a stop.

"Head for the rocks!!!" Fred orders

Everyone ducked behind some rocks and peeked out, Scooby waving his tail with a small white flag attached to it as the phantom indian rode past, once again vanishing into the night.

"He's gone!" Daphne says

"Let's get back to the handcar." Fred says

"This is real, like in the movies." Shaggy comments as they walk back over

They all got back to the car and Shaggy states, "I told you that indian was for real!"

Fred grabbed the arrow and examined it.

"Well, this arrow isn't for real,it's factory made." Fred states

Shaggy looekd over and spotted something up on the mountain.

"Then how about THAT?!??" Shaggy says, pointing over. "Is that for real??!???"

Everyone looked over and saw......

"Looks deserted, but somebody's up there." Fred points out

"Nobody's getting my hair." Shaggy comments

"RMe neither!" Scooby comments

"Gang, we've got to get up to that indian village." Fred states. "And I think I know how we can do it."

Later, Fred set up a sort of slingshot of some kind that was meant to aid them in getting up to the village.

"Now, we're all ready. This giant slingshot will shoot the arrow up to the village taking the rope with it." Fred explains. "And then everybody climbs up, okay?"

Fred launched it, the arrow firmly sticking into some ground, Fred tugging the rope to make sure.

"Okay, it's solid." Fred says. "Now let's get up to that village."

Scooby was slowly sneaking away as he says, "RNot me!"

"Scooby, you come back here." Velma comments

When getting up to the village, they all had a short look at the place.

"Man, this is Spooksville, like, Indian-style." Shaggy comments

"Reah. RSpooksville." Scooby agreed

"Okay, gang, let's explore." Fred whispers

While walking around, they heard something shaking around.

"What's that??!??" Shaggy questions

Velma looked around and saw the Indian Witch doctor and points as she says, "Look!! Up there!"

Everyone took a look and froze in place as they spotted the witch doctor.

"Leave this place pale-faced intruders! Or surfer the fate of Spanish conquistadors buried in desert below!" The Witch Doctor warns

"RThat's him!!! RThat's him!!!" Scooby yelped, running off, leaving residual electrical energy

"Remember my warning and go!!" The Witch Doctor adds, vanishing

Scooby had jumped into a pot, but un-noticed.

"That indian witch doctor sure spoke good English, considering he's supposed to be thousands of years old." Velma comments

"Maybe he went to night school." Shaggy states

"We'll head for the dome-shaped building." Fred comments

"Where's Scooby???" Shaggy asks

"He'll catch up with us." Fred replied. "Let's move on."

While the others walked off, Scooby poked his head out of the pot.

"RWait for me!!" Scooby yelped

Scooby ran and managed to catch up with everyone else. It was just then that a bunch of bats started flying around the area, everyone having to swat around to keep the bats off of them.

"If I ever get out of this, we'll call this dance the Batusi!!!" Shaggy comments

One of the bats snatched Velma's glasses.

"My glasses!!" Velma yelped

The bat ended up dropping Velma's glasses onto Scooby, making him confused.

"Get out of here, bats!!!!" Shaggy snapped

"My glasses!!! I can't see without them!" Velma cries out

Scooby looked around and took off running when seeing a bat flying right towards him.

"I'm getting out of here." Shaggy comments

"But i've just gotta find my glasses!" Velma states9

Shaggy ran into a small room, safe from the bats and he ended up next to Scooby, who was using a disguise to hide.

"RHi, Raggy." Scooby comments

"Hi, Scooby." Shaggy says. "Boy, I sure an glad to get away from those bats."

Shaggy looked over and thought at first Scooby was the witch doctor.

"IT'S GERONIMO!!!!" Shaggy yelped, taking off

"RGERONIMO!!!?!?!???!?!??" Scooby yelped, running as well

When in a separate room, Scooby ditched his hiding disguise and tapped Shaggy's shoulder, making him turn around.

"Oh, it's you, Scooby." Shaggy says. "hey, what are you doing with Velma's glasses?"

Shaggy grabs Velma's glasses and they poked their heads out, looking around.

"Come on, the coast is clear." Shaggy says

When going around, they soon found Velma, who thought a wooden totem pole was Scooby petrified with fear.

"Here's your glasses, Velma." Shaggy spoke

Velma grabbed the glasses and put them on.

"Where did you find them???" Velma asks

"Oh, it's a long story, Velma." Shaggy says

"RLooong story." Scooby comments

Meanwhile, Fred, and Daphne were outside one of the many dome shaped buildings, but not the main one.

"This looks like their ceremonial building, where they held their special rights." Fred comments

"Perfect place for a witch doctor to live." Daphne states

"Yeah, come on, let's find him." Fred says

When going in, they found a lit fire.

"Hey, look!" Fred points out. "I doubt that fire's been burning for thousands of years!"

Daphne shook a little.

"Freddy, this place gives me goosebumps." Daphne comments

Then, the fire got bigger for a second and in front of the altar that was behind the fire now stood the witch doctor.

"You have violated the sacred temple! If you do not leave this village now, you will remain here forever!" The witch doctor booms

Then the fire grew again for a second before going back to it's small size, the witch doctor gone.

"Okay, we found him. Now let's go!" Daphne states

"Not yet." Fred says. "i wanna check that altar."

Fred walked over as Daphne said, "You check it, i'll wait right here."

"Okay, i'll just be a moment." Fred comments, walking over to the altar and starting to check it

Fred walked over, beginning to check the altar as Daphne sat down on a stone bench. There was a sliding noise and when the stone bench appeared again as before, Daphne was nowhere to be seen.

Fred looked back, confused.

"Daphne??!?!??" Fred questions, noticing she wasn't anywhere in sight. "She's gone! Daphne! Daphne!!!"

Chapter 4​

Elsewhere in the village, Scooby and Shaggy were roaming around. That's when Scooby's nose began twitching and he pointed in the direction the smell came from.

"RFood! RFood! RFood! RFood!" Scooby exclaims

"Food? Good boy, where is it?" Shaggy asks. "Lead me to it!

When following the scent, they found themselves in a room stocked with various foods of different types.

"Man, those Pueblo Indians sure knew how to live." Shaggy comments. "They got salami, ham, sardines, canned pudding, not to menti-hey, wait a minute! This isn't indian food!"

Scooby found a shelf of Pokemon food.

"RPokemon food!" Scooby states

"Pokemon food???" Shaggy comments, grabbing a can of the Pokemon food. "IT IS Pokemon food. Scooby, we found the Poke-napper's hideout! But, I don't see any of the Poke-nappers around, so why not fortify ourselves with a groovy little snack?"

Later, Shaggy was throwing some food together and Scooby poked his head into one of the many cabinets, discovering a sort of secret slide passage.

"RHey, what's this?" Scooby questions

That's when a hand reached out of a slot in the wall and gave Scooby a push, sending him down the slide and the cabinet shut. When Scooby came to a stop, he crashed into a pole that Daphne was tied to. And it was in a room that had cages with Pokemon like Houndooms and various other canine like Pokemon

"Scooby, untie us, quick!" Daphne says. "That witch doctor could come back at any time!"

"RAnd the other Pokemon?" Scooby asks as he got to work

"Sure, we'll free them." Daphne responds. "Now hurry!"

Back in the ceremonial building, Fred was investigating the altar.

"I got a hunch there's a secret passage around here somewhere." Fred comments as he managed to trigger a switch which revealed the said secret passage. "There it is!!"

With the passage open rose up a stone bench with Velma sitting on it.

"Velma! What are you doing there??" Fred asks

"I don't know. I sat down to rest, the next minute i'm here." Velma responds

That's when Daphne poked her head out.

"Freddy, Velma, quick!" Daphne says. "This way!"

She had led them to Scooby and the the Poke-napped Pokemon.

"Good job, Scooby! You found them and freed them all!" Fred congratulated

"Does this mean we've solved the Poke-napping mystery?" Sage asks

"Not yet." Fred responds. "Hey, Scooby, see if any of your pals know anything about that witch doctor or the Poke-nappers."

"ROkay." Scooby responds

Scooby had some barking conversations with the Pokemon, soon enough getting what info they needed.

"You know where he is, Scooby?" Neptune asks

"Reha! Reah! Reah! Reah!" Scooby responds

"Okay, let's go!" Fred states. "We're right behind you."

Meanwhile, Shaggy was walking around with the sandwich he had made.

"While i'm searching for Scooby, i'll just finish this little morsel." Shaggy comments

Shaggy hears Pokemon barking right as he was about to eat the sandwich, turns to the source of the barking and sees three Ppkemon doesn't know the name of along with Scooby running in his direction and he turns around to run.

"YIPE!!!" Shaggy yelps

Shaggy ends up getting sent into the air by two of the unknown Pokemon and Scooby then gets run down by the third unknown Pokemon and the sandwich goes into the air in several pieces and he manages to make all the sandwich pieces land on top of each other.

"What a close shave!" Shaggy comments. "That was almost a catastrophe."

Shaggy then ate the sandwich in one bite just as the others ran by.

"Hey, Shaggy!!" Fred called out. "Come on, follow the Pokemon!"

One by one, all the Pokemon and everyone else slides down the ladder, still following the Pokemon but Shaggy ended up breaking the ladder.

"RScooby-Doo!!!" Scooby cheers

When the Witch Doctor spotted them, the culprit under the mask presumably goes wide eyed.

"They've spotted him!" Fred comments

That's when the Pokemon managed to corner the Witch Doctor up on a pole.

"They've got him!!" Fred called out

When they all got over there, Scooby reached forward and unmasked the Witch Doctor, revealing the culprit to really be none other than.......

"Why, it's Buck Masters, the owner of Big Red!" Velma exclaimed. "He's the Poke-napper!!!"

Masters growled and snaps, "You blasted kids!!!! Why didn't you mind your own business??!???"

"Catching Poke-nappers is our business, Mr. Masters." Fred responds. "After all, Scooby-Doo is a Boltund. And we love him very much."

"RAwwww....." Scooby comments

Later, they had called up a local Officer Jenny and Masters was arrested.

"That was quite a plot you kids uncovered." Officer Jenny comments. "Who would've suspected Masters of Poke-napping his own pet?"

"He decided to win the Pokemon show by Poke-napping the only three Pokemon who could beat Big Red." Velma explains. "he Poke-napped Big Red first to avoid suspicion."

"And then, Big Red was to turn up just before the show and win first prize." Daphne explains further

"You said something about a phantom indian on horseback." Officer Jenny recalled. "What about that?"

"Simple." Fred says. "He used a movie projector from the back of his truck."

Shaggy went wide eyed when spotting a indian-like shadow on the wall.

"Look!!! Geronimo!!! He's back again!!!" Shaggy yelped

However, when everyone looked over, they found it was only Scooby using a feather duster and a tomahawk and casting the shadow with a lamp he aimed.

"RScooby-Doo!!!" Scooby cheers, chuckling

EPISODE 6: "What The Hex Going On?"

A friend invites the gang to dinner, but things go south when a ghost turns the friend's uncle into an elderly man.

Chapter 1​

Late one night, Scooby and the gang were on their way to visit a friend, Sharon Weatherby.

"Well, we're almost to the Weatherby Estate, gang." Fred said

"It sure was nice of Sharon to ask us up here for the weekend." Velma replied

Daphne nodded as she said, "There's so many groovy things to do."

Meanwhile, in the back of the Mystery Machine, Shaggy had a sandwich.

"Yeah, like swimming and eating, and tennis and eating, and riding and eating, and eating, and-" Shaggy starts, not noticing Scooby snatched sandwich until Scooby had already eaten it. "Huh??!??"

Scooby licked his lips clean and burped a bit.

"How do you like that???" Shaggy comments

As they were driving, Fred noticed something rather.....strange. An older man heading into some sort of old mansion.

"Hey, look up there!" Fred says

Everyone took a look. Equally as confused as Fred.

"Jeepers, someone's going into that old mansion!" Daphne says

"Like, wow." Shaggy comments. "Who'd do a kooky thing like that?"

Scooby and Shaggy looked at each other and shrugged. When getting to the Weatherby Estate, they met Sharon and her uncle.

"Gee, it sure is good to see all of you." Sharon comments. "I just hope this wasn't the wrong weekend for you to come up here."

"Why'd that be, Sharon?" Fred asks

"Well, over the past few nights, we've been hearing a lot of...strange noises." Mr. Weatherby explains

"And now, it looks like my Uncle Stuart has vanished." Sharon added

Scooby gasped a little.

"Could it have been him we saw going into that old mansion?" Daphne asks

"You mean the Kingston Mansion?" Mr. Weatherby asks, getting a few nods. "Maybe we better go up there and see."

Scooby gulped. When they all went to where they were outside the Kingston Mansion, they looked and looked for Uncle Stuart.

"Uncle Stuart??? Uncle Stuart???" Sharon called out

Shaggy looks around before saying, "Like, you know, there's no sign of him anywhere."

Daphne looked around before spotting someone in some shadows.

"Look! someone's in the shadows!" Daphne points out

Everyone looked over and when realizing who it was, Scooby yelped.

"Uncle Stuart!!" Sharon gasped

"He's become an old man!!" Mr. Weatherby adds

When getting back to the family estate, they sat Stuart down in a chair so he could explain things to them.

"What happened, Stuart?" Mr. Weatherby asks

"It started when a ghostly voice called out from the old mansion, I had to obey it. It drew me out of the house. I was in a trance. I went past the Kingston mausoleum and finally into the old mansion and there is where I saw the ghost of Elias Kingston!"

BEGIN FLASHBACK

The practically hypnotized Stuart Weatherby walked into the Kingston mansion's living room and found that standing there was the ghost of the family's old neighbor, Elias Kingston.

The Ghost of Elias Kingston was a middle-aged male, with undead-looking blue skin, bowl-styled black hair, and frightening facial features including surly eyes, flat nose and big chin. He wore an old-fashioned grey trenchcoat with matching grey pants and black shoes.

"The Weatherby fortune belongs to me!" Kingston snarled. "Unless it is returned to this mansion before morning, the entire family shall suffer this terrible fate!"

Kingston proceeded to cast a hex of sorts onto Stuart, turning him into an old man.

END FLASHBACK


"...and that's when he made me into an old man as a warning to you all!" Stuart comments

"What are we gonna do?" Sharon asks

Mr. Weatherby walked over to a phone and says, "First of all, i'm gonna call the sheriff."

However, the phone line was dead.

"Strange....the phone's dead." Mr. Weatherby comments

"Why don't you go get the sheriff, Mr. Weatherby?" Velma asks. "We'll wait here."

"We'll keep an eye on Uncle Stuart until you get back." Fred responds

"Are you sure you kids will be alright?" Mr. Weatherby asks as he put the phone down

Fred nodded and said, "Sure, and just to make sure nothing else happens, we'll all take turns standing guard."

"Who's gonna be standing the first watch?" Daphne questioned

"Who else? The watch Pokemon." Fred comments

It didn't take Scooby long to realize Fred was talking about HIM.

"RMe?!?!?!????" Scooby questioned

"That's right, that's you." Fred responds

"Just think, Scooby, no ghostly voice can get past your sense of hearing." Velma stated

Scooby ran off before coming back with a bugle in his ear, acting as if he didn't properly hear them. However, Fred grabbed it and slammed it on his head, knowing Scooby was bsing it.

"That old 'hard at hearing' trick isn't gonna work tonight, Scooby." Fred comments

Scooby quietly snickered a little, rubbing his neck. Later, when everyone was asleep, things were peaceful as Uncle Stuart slept in a chair and suddenly, a curtain began blowing.

"Come!!!!" An echoy voice boomed

Uncle Stuart rose his head, looking out the window.

"Come!!!!" The echoy voice boomed

Uncle Stuart rose form his chair in a trance, walking out the window. Scooby's ear tapped him to wake him up and he noticed Uncle Stuart was nowhere to be seen.

"RWhere'd he go?!???" Scooby questioned

Scooby grabbed a trumpet ff of the wall and blew in it loudly to wake the others and get them downstairs to alert them. When they got down, Fred rose an eyebrow.

"Hey, what's with the trumpet call, Scooby?" Fred asks

"RUncle Stuart's gone!" Scooby comments, pointing over to the chair

Velma went wide eyed and says, "Uh oh, looks like Uncle Stuart's gone again!"

Daphne looked around, noticing Sharon hadn't come down to the trumpet call. In fact, she never saw or heard her leave her room.

"She's not the only one, Sharon's gone too!" Daphne points out

"But, like, where??" Shaggy questioned

"We better get ourselves up to that old mansion." Fred says

"And fast!" Velma adds

When getting to the Kingston Mansion, they began exploring, not seeing a sign of any of what they were looking for.

"I don't see any sign of Sharon, Uncle Stuart, OR the ghost." Daphne stated

"Like, maybe we're in luck and he's out haunting another house!" Shaggy comments

Velma rose an eyebrow a little as she heard something, looking back at Shaggy.

"Say, what have you got on your feet?" Velma asks before looking down and seeing what Shaggy had on his feet. "Roller skates? Why are you wearing those silly things?"

"I'm not taking any chances." Shaggy responds. "If we do see that ghost, he'll never catch me!"

"Come on!!" Fred comments. "Let's keep looking."

Scooby gulped a little. They went past a bookshelf, not noticing that the glass on it was cracked or that there was tracks next to it. When they had walked past, it slid to the side, revealing a secret room where Sharon was tied and gagged, tied to a chair and the ghost peeked out, following the gang.

The gang had split up and Shaggy was checking some pots.

"I wonder if ghosts can hide in little pots." Shaggy comments, not noticing the ghost grabbing a Bellow and aiming at him. "I guess not."

The ghost gave the Bellow a good press and it blew enough pressurized air to send Shaggy uncontrollably skating down the hallway as he frantically tried to stop himself. However, he ended up just crashing right into the bathroom.

When he had landed in the bathtub, in his failed attempts to get out, he had ended up turning on the shower's cold water.

Chapter 2​

Meanwhile, Scooby managed to find his way into the kitchen, licking his lips. His eyes darted to the fridge.

"RScooby-Doo!!" cheered Scooby as he bolted over to the fridge

When he got to the fridge, he opened it, licking his lips as he pulled out a bone, blowing the cobwebs off and getting ready to chow down on the bone.

However, he heard growling and turned to see a Houndoom, Scooby chuckling nervously and shoving the bone in it's mouth as she ran.

Scooby lost the Houndoom by managing to hide under a bucket and starting to sneak away when it didn't see him. However, the ghost pointed over and made noises to indicate he wanted the dog to look.

When the Houndoom saw Scooby, he charged after him, Scooby picked up the pace. When he got through one of the doorways, he held the bucket, ready to slam it on the Houndoom. When the Houndoom ran through the door, Scooby slammed it down, walking out of the door as he snickered.

The Houndoom began blindly running around, not noticing it was heading right for a soaking wet Shaggy.

"Wow, like, how soggy can a guy get??" Shaggy questioned, water dripping from his arms and clothes

Before he knew it, the Houndoom had blindly tackled him back into the bath tub and turned on the showerhead again.

"If there's one thing I can't stand.....it's taking a bath in a haunted house." Shaggy comments

When Shaggy had dried off after getting out, the gang regrouped elsewhere in the mansion.

"Whether you know it or not, Scooby, you found our first clue!" Fred says

"RI did?" Scooby comments

"Sure." Velma responds. "Whoever heard of a GHOST needing a watch Pokemon to scare anybody away?"

"Like, you mean there isn't any ghosts?" Shaggy asks

"Well, I haven't seen any. Yet." Fred responds

"And we haven't seen Sharon, or her uncle, either." Daphne responds

Shaggy was looking at something in a chair.

"Hey, was Uncle Stuart wearing a maroon suit,, blue shirt, tie, and fancy slip on shoes?" Shaggy asks

Fred looks over and says, "Yeah, when we last saw him,"

"Then I think we found him, but..." Shaggy comments, turning the chair around. "...he looks a little older now!"

IN the chair was a skeleton wearing Stuart's clothing! It's placement implicates the ghost got to Uncle Stuart again.

"Wow, I guess that ghost wasn't kidding." Fred says

"That's just about as old as you can get." Velma comments

"Sure would help if we could find another clue." Fred commented

Shaggy felt a hand on his shoulder and says, "Uh huh, I found one."

"Groovy, what is it?" Fred asks

Shaggy points at who put their hand on his shoulder and says, "Him."

Everyone looked and saw..it was the Ghost of Elias Kingston!

"It's the ghost!!!!!!" Fred, Velma, and Daphne yelped

"RGhost?!??!?!?!?!?!???" Scooby yelped

Scooby bolted and hid in a closet, putting a sign that says 'OUT TO LUNCH' on it while the rest of the gang remained in the room with the ghost.

"This is the last warning." The ghost boomed. "Either the fortune is here by morning or all those in the Weatherby house shall grow old. Now go!!!"

The ghost walked off as the gang processed his warning.

"Wow. Old horrible really said a frightful mouthful." Velma states

Fred responds with, "But we're not gonna let that scare us."

"We're not???" Shaggy questioned

"No, Shaggy, we're gonna solve this mystery." Fred stated

They looked around, but Scooby was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey, where's Scooby?" Velma asks before noticing the sign on the closet door. "Uh oh, I bet he's in that closet. 'Out to lunch'. Can you imagine?"

As they walked over, Fred chuckled a little and said, "Yeah, with Scooby, I wouldn't be surprised."

When they opened the door, Scooby was chowing on a fully cooked meal and everything. He even had a napkin for cleaning his mouth with. Scooby snickered a little as he put the turkey leg he had down.

"How do you like that? He didn't even invite me." Shaggy comments

Scooby finished the meat that was on the turkey leg he had earlier, cleaning off his mouth and smiling.

Chapter 3​

Later, the gang saw the ghost walking through the Kingston family graveyard before entering the Kingston mausoleum.

"Hey, that was the ghost!!" Daphne says

"Yeah, he went into the mausoleum!" Velma stated

"Come on, let's see what he's up to." Fred stated

When they got to the front door of the mausoleum, Velma pulled out a fingerprinting kit she had with her.

"Okay, Shaggy. Use Velma's fingerprinting kit and dust for prints." Fred ordered

"Right, Freddy, i'll give it the oll Sherlock Holmes touch." Shaggy says

Shaggy grabbed the brush for the kit and began dusting....Velma's hand? And there was a bunch of fingerprints all over her hand.

"Wow, look at all them fingerprints!" Shaggy comments

"Not my hand, silly, that door!" Velma responds

Scooby snickered before Shaggy went and gently brushed the knob, showing that the mausoleum door's doorknob had fingerprints on it.

"Freddy, we got somethin'!" Shaggy comments

They took a look and Fred says, "Just as I thought: Fingerprints!"

Daphne thought before saying, "Wait a minute, ghosts wouldn't leave fingerprints."

Fred opened the door of the mausoleum and out flew a screeching Zubat, Fred ducking out of the way.

"Like, maybe he can turn into a Zubat." Shaggy says

"Don't be silly." Velma responds

"Okay, Scooby, go in there and sniff around for that ghost." Fred instructs

Scooby immediately sneered back and shook his head.

"Would you do it for a Scooby Snack?" Fred bribed

Scooby shook his head again.

"I'll give you one. How about two? Three? Four?" Fred comments

However, Shaggy just sighed, took the Scooby Snacks and devoured them.

"I'll go." Shaggy comments

Scooby tilts his head as Shaggy entered the mausoleum.

"Like, there's times i'll do anything for a Scooby Snack." Shaggy says, not seeing anything in the place. "It's okay! Come on in!"

They all entered, also not seeing the ghost.

"There's no ghost in here." Daphne states

"Well, we know he came in." Fred comments

Velma looked around before spotting something on a table.

"There's something on that table." Velma says as she picked up the book. "Hey, it's a book on crystalomacy."

"Crystal O'Macy? I used to know a Crystal Nerdlinger." Shaggy jokingly says

"It's not a girl, silly, it's a book on how to use a crystal ball." Velma responds

"You mean the kind a fortune teller uses?" Daphne asks

"Right." Velma confirms

Fred thought and said, "Say, there's an old swami place in town."

They all failed to notice the ghost grabbing the mausoleum's doorknob from the outside.

"Maybe there's some kind of a connection." Fred finished

Then, the door slammed shut.

"ZOINKS!!! THE DOOR!!!!" Shaggy yelped, running over and trying to open the door. "Hey!!! We're locked in!!!!"

"Well, let's hope there's a secret way out of here." Fred said. "Start tapping on the walls."

As they tapped on various walls, the one Scooby was tapping on spun around, him being trapped on the other side.

They all looked over noticing Scooby was missing.

"Hey. Like, what happened to Scooby???" Shaggy asks

"He was right there a second ago." Daphne says as they walked over to the wall

Fred knocked on the walls before it began spinning around. It kept on spinning before they all ended up on top of each other in a secret passage, which due to what led them to here, it was Scooby who out of the group had found it in the first place.

"It's a secret passage!" Shaggy comments

Fred looks at Scooby and congratulates, "You did it, Scooby! You found the way out!"

"RI did?" Scooby comments. "RWell, Scooby-Dooby-Doo!"

Later, they were back in the Mystery Machine, heading into town.

"That secret passage was a shortcut to the Weatherby estate." Velma says

"I wonder if it has anything to do with Sharon's disappearance." Daphne comments

"I don't know, but maybe we'll find the answer here at the swami's place." Fred says as he pulled the Mystery Machine up in front of the swami's place in question

There wasn't any sign of the swami that was running the place though.

"It looks like the swami's out swami-ing somewhere else." Shaggy says

"Then I guess he won't mind if we have a look around." Fred responded

Daphne curiously walked up to a closet.

"I wonder what's in here." Daphne comments

Daphne began to open the door as Velma shouts, "Daphne, not the storage closet!!"

However, it was too late and a bunch of stuff fell out, Scooby and Shaggy covered the most.

"Well, Daphne, you did it again." Shaggy comments

They heard the doorbell ring as the door opened.

"Uh oh. Like, someone's coming!!" Shaggy comments

They all tried to hide but Scooby, basically looking like a swami had ended up in the chair at the table.

"Yoo-hoo. Swami. Oh swami"The old woman comments, seeing what was Scooby but was thinking he was the swami. "There you are."

"Uh oh, a customer!" Daphne comments

"And she thinks Scooby's the swami!" Velma adds

Fred looked at Shaggy and says, "Shaggy, you better throw your voice and make Scooby sound like a swami!"

Shaggy nodded and cleared his throat quietly before throwing his voice.

"Good evening, please be seated." Shaggy spoke, making Scooby look back as the customer sat down

Scooby rose an eyebrow before Shaggy gestured to his hand, Scooby nodding as he finally got what he was trying to do.

"Oh, swami. Tell me. What do you see in the crystal ball?" The customer asks

"My reflection." Shaggy spoke, Scooby mouthing along making the false swami persona. "No wait, I see a tall handsome man in your future, and you're dancing together cheek to cheek. Now....now he's whispering something to you."

"He is? What is the dear boy saying?" The customer asks

"'Get off my foot'." 'Swami Scooby' stated, looking back partially at Shaggy

"Enough of this. I want my palm read." The customer stated

"Yes ma'am." 'Swami Scooby comments, grabbing a bucket of red paint and painting the customer's hand causing her to jolt her hand back. "You did say 'red'."

The woman got up and snapped, "How dare you!!!"

She began heading for the door.

"How about that? All that advice and she didn't even pay us a dime." Shaggy comments

The customer slammed the door shut behind her as she left.

"I hope that's the end of the customers for a while." Velma says

Chapter 4​


When everything was cleaned up and put where it should be, everyone took a deep breath.

"Okay, gang. Let's get on with our investigation." Fred said

Suddenly, the table began floating.

"Look!! The table's floating!!!!" Velma points out

Everyone looked over and jumped a little.

"Zoinks!!! It's the gooney ghost!!" Shaggy yelps

"You did not do as I said! Now you shall pay!!!!" The ghost's voice echoed from the crystal ball as his face was seen on it

"Hey, look out!!!" Fred shouts. "Duck!!!"

As everyone ducked, Velma exclaimed, "It's after us!!"

The table flew right over them and the got up and began running, the table still pursuing them.

"Here it comes again!!!" Fred shouts

As they run, it reached to be nearly inches away from Scooby's tail.

"I've heard of flying saucers, but this is silly!!" Velma says

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, run! Run! Run!!!" The ghost boomed

They ducked to the side and Fred opened a door, the table shooting out causing Fred to shut the door behind it.

"We got rid of it!" Daphne comments

"We did??" Shaggy comments as the table re entered through a window they didn't notice was open. "Then, like, what's that??!???"

The ghost merely cackled causing them to begin running again.

"He's a real joker!" Velma stated

"I'm not laughing!" Shaggy comments

The table began descending.

"DUCK!!!" Fred shouts

They ducked but Scooby just kept running as Shaggy poked his head up and yells, "LOOK OUT, SCOOBY!!"

Scooby ended up onto the table as it got caught on a curtain before ending up crashing in front of the gang, Scooby under it but luckily okay.

"Scooby caught the table!" Fred says

Shaggy looked at the table and says, "Man this thing flew like it was jet propelled."

"You mean 'like fan propelled'." Fred says, noticing a fan motor. "See? A fan type motor underneath gave it the power."

"Are you okay, Scooby?" Shaggy asks out of concern

"RI'm okay." Scooby responds

Daphne and Velma then noticed a bunch of suitcases.

"Hey look! Suitcases!" Velma says

"Maybe somebody just moved in." Daphne commented

"Then let's move out!" Shaggy comments in response

Daphne then walked over to one of the various suitcases and opened it.

"And look what I found! A professional makeup kit!" Daphne comments

Shaggy noticed something next to the makeup kit. Some sort of camera.

"And what's that?" Shaggy asks, picking it up. "It looks like a TV camera."

Velma looked at it closely.

"You're right, Shaggy." Velma says

"Yeah. It's a miniature TV camera!" Shaggy comments, aiming it at Scooby. "Smile, Scooby!"

Scooby smiled, his image appearing on the crystal ball.

"That's how the ghost got on the crystal ball!" Fred says. "Closed circuit TV!"

Scooby smiled for the camera again.

"See, Scooby?" Fred comments, Scooby looking at the crystal ball image of his face that was mimicking what he was doing. "That's how you look on TV."

Scooby growled and blinked.

"What a ham." Shaggy says

"Well, we got a lot of clues." Daphne says

"Huh?" Shaggy comments, looking at Daphne. "We do?"

"She's right. Enough clues to turn the tables on that ghost." Fred comments. "Now here's what we're gonna do....."

Later, they were back in the Kingston mansion, trap set and ready. All the guys needed to do was lure in the ghost, which is what they were out doing, Scooby having a chest on his back.

"Yoo-hoo!! Mr. Ghost!!! I'm here with the fortune!!" Shaggy shouts. "Yoo-hoo!"

"RYoo-hoo!!!" Scooby called out

Suddenly, the ghost's hand appeared on Shaggy's shoulder.

"Uh oh." Shaggy comments

"Ah, good! You brought the fortune." The ghost says. "How FORTUNATE for you."

The ghost grabbed the chest and put it on a side table, getting ready to open the chest.

"Stay until I see with my own eyes." The ghost ordered

However, a fake clown popped up and squirted the ghost in the face with some water.

"It's a trick!!!!!" The ghost snarled

However, Shaggy and Scooby began bolting at that exact moment.

"I'LL TURN YOU TO BONES!!!!' The ghost boomed as he took after

"The plan's working, Scooby!" Shaggy comments

The ghost was still chasing after the guys.

"YOU CAN'T GET AWAY!!!!" The ghost snarled

"Quick, get behind the curtain!" Shaggy comments

The two ducked behind the curtain and Shaggy's shoes poked out just before the ghost got there.

However, behind the curtain, they set up a bit of a part of the trap for the ghost where if he were to punch through like they are hoping, he'd hit an anvil. To prompt it, they'd need to taunt the ghost, which Shaggy had an idea on how to do.

"Shhhh. Scooby, I hope the ghost doesn't find us!" Shaggy whispered

The ghost smirked and thrusts his fist into the curtain but he ended up punching the anvil, causing him to yowl and howl in pain as he ran.

"Perfecto!" Shaggy comments, picking up his shoes. "I got my shoes, now let's join the gang!"

Elsewhere in the mansion, the gang set up a projector part of the trap and could hear the ghost coming.

"I can hear the ghost coming." Fred says. "Get ready for phase two!"

They had phase two set up. Shaggy was on a rail lacking treadmill and a camera and projector was set up.

"All set, Shaggy?" Fred asks

"Yeah, let's go!" Shaggy comments as he began running on the treadmill, Fred recording

Velma saw the ghost in the hall.

"He's in the hall!" Velma alerts

"Turn on the projector!" Fred ordered

And she did so, activating a projection of Shaggy running past the ghost, which he didn't know was a projection.

"STOP OR I'LL MUMMIFY YOU!!!!" The ghost booms

As he chased the projection, he felt like something was off.

"Wait, hold it!!!" The ghost comments as more projections of his own that looked just as ghostly if not more appeared next to him as he slid to a stop. "This place is REALLY haunted!"

"Now watch what he does when he sees the tape of you, Scooby!" Fred says

Scooby nodded and they activated a projection of the recording of Scooby that was made back at the swami's place in town, which made the ghost jump.

"Oh no!!! That does it!!!" The ghost comments as he ran off

The gang ran to see where he was going from the balcony. And they had also saved Sharon before putting this plan into motion.

"It's working, Sharon!" Fred comments

Sharon spotted the ghost and says, "He's going into the secret room, where he had me tied up."

The ghost ran into the room that was hidden behind the bookshelf and the entrance closed behind him.

"Well, Miss Sharon, Is till have you and the fortune shall yet be mi-" The ghost starts before seeing in place of Sharon was a skeleton! The apparent skeleton of Stuart Weatherby! "How did that get here?!?!? LET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!"

The secret door open and the ghost ran out, not seeing the gang above with a net.

"Here he comes!" Shaggy says

"Golly, he's running like a ghost was after him." Daphne comments jokingly

Then, the ghost was in the right position for them to drop the net for it to land on him.

"Now, throw it!!" Fred orders

"Bombs away!" Shaggy comments

They drop the net and it landed on the ghost, trapping him as he struggled and snarled.

"I guess that about wraps up the ghost story." Velma comments

"RScooby-Dooby-Doo!!!" cheered Scooby

Later, they had the ghost tied to a chair in the living room of the Weatherby estate with Mr. Weatherby back and Sharon there as well to see the reveal.

"Mr. Weatherby, this ghost doesn't really need any introduction. As soon as we clean him up..." Fred starts as him and Shaggy began removing makeup. "..i'm sure you'll recognize him."

Then, the guys got the makeup cleaned off.

"There. Look familiar?" Fred asks

Sharon gasped and exclaimed, "Uncle Stuart!"

"Like, in person!" Shaggy comments

"he thought he could scare you into giving up the family fortune." Fred explained

"That ghostly wailing was only a recording." Daphne stated

"And by a clever use of makeup, he made himself look old." Velma adds

Sharon then remembered something prior to her abduction earlier.

"When I came downstairs to investigate a noise, I saw Uncle Stuart's wig blow off. I KNEW he wasn't old."

"So he had to take you prisoner." Mr. Weatherby commented

"But where does the swami come in?" Sharon asks

"What better way for a swindler to disappear?" Daphne responds

"Uncle Stuart, why did you do it??" Sharon comments

Mr. Weatherby sighed.

"Well, I guess he can explain it to the sheriff when he gets here." Mr. Weatherby comments. "I bet you kids are starving."

"Zoinks, that's for me!" Shaggy comments

However, the entire turkey was gone when they uncovered where it was. In it's place was a note.

"Hey, what's this??? 'Scooby-Doo was here'." Shaggy read. "The whole turkey?? Gone????"

"RYep!" Scooby comments as he popped up from one of the seats munching on a turkey leg. "RScoooby-Dooby-Doo!!!!"

EPISODE 7: Never Slack with A Slaking​

Daphne's uncle, a famous movie director, hires the gang to star as extras in his new film but the project is under threat when a seemingly angered Slaking scares off all the actors.

Chapter 1​

One late shooting night on the set of a movie, Scooby and the gang were invited to play extras in the film.

Daphne:(a small bit excited) "Gee, this is wonderful, Uncle John. 'The Slaking of Forbidden Mountain'. What a groovy title for a picture!"

Shaggy brushed his shirt off.

Shaggy: "It sure was swell of you to give us jobs as extras."

John Maxwell: "Kids, i'm the grateful one here. I need you because the local people won't work in this film."

Velma rose an eyebrow.

Velma:(curious) "Why is that, Mr. Maxwell?"

John Maxwell: "The local people here are very superstitious."

Scooby walked over to a makeup kit box and dug around in it.

John Maxwell: "They believe an old legend about an actual Slaking. They say he was the one who burned down the old mansion years ago."

Scooby walked over with a few costume pieces on and tapped Shaggy's shoulder, getting him to turn around.

Scooby: "RHow do I look?"

Shaggy: "How do you look? I don't see any difference!"

The two both had a good laugh.

John Maxwell: "We've had a total of three reports that the Slaking has been seen up here at night."

Fred:(rose an eyebrow) "They've actually seen a Slaking?"

Scooby gulped a little after changing costume pieces while goofing around. Then, Shaggy looks at his watch.

Shaggy: "I just remembered a dental appointment back in town."

Scooby pops his head up next to Shaggy.

Scooby: "RMe too!"

Daphne:(not believing the legends for a second) "Stop it, you two. It's only a superstition. Right, uncle John?"

John Maxwell nodded.

John Maxwell: "Right. The only Slaking on this mountain right now is my stuntman, Carl."

Then, a cinematography director blew his whistle.

Cinematography Director: "Anytime you're ready, J.J!"

Then, it was time to shoot the scene and John grabbed his megaphone.

John Maxwell: "Alright, Miss Mint, you just run out on the rope bridge, okay?"

Kandy: "right, Mister Maxwell."

John set his megaphone down.

John Maxwell: "That's our star, Kandy Mint. You'll see Carl in the Slaking suit."

John then gave teh hand signal to start rolling.

John Maxwell: "Okay, roll 'em!"

Kandy then ran out on the bridge and the Slaking at the end of the bridge, beleived to be Carl in a suit, snarled and growled.

Shaggy: "Man, he could be for real. What a beast!"

Scooby:(a little scared) "Reah! RBeast!"

Then, the Slaking continued snarling and growling.

John Maxwell: "Great! He's even better than he was in rehearsal! Now watch Kandy on the bridge."

The Slaking continued snarling and growling as Kandy was seeming to back up.

John Maxwell: "Now watch the Slaking jump up and down on the bridge and try to spill Kandy."

However, that is not what the Slaking did. It began shaking the bridge by the ropes, causing John to grab his megaphone.

John Maxwell: "No, Carl, stop it!! That's not in the script!!!"

Kandy:(was genuinely scared) "Help!!"

Shaggy: "I don't think he heard you!"

John looks back at Shaggy.

John Maxwell: "Oh he heard me, but that Slaking is NOT my stuntman!"

Kandy: "Somebody make it stop!"

Scooby ran out onto the bridge and started barking and growling at the Slaking.

Shaggy: "Scooby, steady the bridge!!"

Scooby grabbed onto the bridge to keep it steady adn Kandy made the run back to saftey.

Fred: "She made it!!"

Shaggy: "And Scooby did it!"

Then, the Slaking began shaking the bridge to shake Scooby off, even ripping the ropes.

Scooby: "Ruh-oh!"

Scooby then began falling, bouncing off of a branch and punching the Slaking in the face before falling and bouncing up again, kicking the Slaking in the stomach before falling and bouncing back up yet again and slapping the Slaking in the back of the head, causing it to fall, then Scooby got caught in a net

Fred: "Good show, Scooby!"

Shaggy: "You sure sent htat thing packing."

Velma: "You were so brave!"

Scooby smiled.

Scooby: "Rawww, RScooby-Dooby-Doo."

Later, Scooby shook some dirt off.

John Maxwell: "That was a daring rescue, Scooby."

Shaggy: "He was better than Laddie!"

Fred: "What do we do now, Mister Maxwell?"

John Maxwell: "Find my missing stuntman Carl. (points to the trailer behind him) This is his trailer."

Daphne: "Maybe we can pick up a clue to where Carl might be."

Later, they started searching Carl's trailer but no sign of him.

John Maxwell: "I'm worried. I didn't put much stock into that Slaking legend until now."

Scooby opened a drawer adn what he saw was the head of a Slaking, causing him to yelp, close the drawer, and cower behind a box before poking his head up, shaking.

Shaggy: "Hey, Scooby, is that you acting scared?"

Scooby slowly points to the drawer.

Scooby" RSlaking's head!!!"

John Maxwell:(confused) "Slaking's head? Oh, that's just part of a costume."

Scooby sighed with relief before something banged on the inside of the box, confusing Scooby as he knocked in a pattern, which the source of the banging inside responded.

Scooby: "RHUH?!?!???"

Shaggy: "Hey, that's a good trick. How'd ya do it?"

Scooby shrugged.

Shaggy: "Then there must be somebody in the trunk!"

Fred: "Come on, Scooby, open it."

Scooby: "RNuh uh! RNot me!"

Fred crossed his arms.

Fred: "Yes, you."

Velma: "Now Scooby, don't go into one of your acts. Just open the trunk."

Scooby rolled his eyes before opening the trunk and immediately slamming it shut again.

Scooby: "RIT'S A MAN!!!"

Shaggy: "It's a man??"

John Maxwell walks over.

John Maxwell: "It must be Carl, the stuntman.(opened the trunk) What happened?"

Carl:(sat up) "I came in here to dress and some big hairy thing came in and grabbed me and threw me in the trunk."

Shaggy: "Was it the Slaking?"

Carl looekd around, confused.

Carl: "Slaking??? What's going on?"

John Maxwell: "A Slaking of some kind sabotaged our shooting and almost hurt Kandy."

Carl: "The old legend, huh? It must've been him that got me."

Kandy then walked in.

Kandy: "Mister Maxwell? I'm sorry, but I quit until that beast is caught."

Carl stood up out of the trunk.

Carl: "I'm with her. Mister Maxwell, i'm quitting too."

John Maxwell: "Can't you wait a few days? I'll get this mystery cleared up.(looked at the gang) I'm afraid i'll have to withdraw my job offer. It's just too dangerous right now."

Scooby nodded.

Scooby: "Reah reah reah!"

Fred: "Maybe we could give you a hand in solving this mystery?"

Scooby shook his head.

Daphne: "We could stand guard."

Shaggy: "Yeah, who's afraid of a big bad Slaking?"

Scooby: "RI am!"

Chapter 2​

Later, the gang were hanging around on one of the various sets in the area.

Fred: "Okay, gang, Daphne's uncle let us stay on the condition that we be careful."

Velma:(looked at the others) "According to the legend, the Slaking lives in a cave somewhere in the rocks."

Fred(curious): "It's strange how he was smart enough to get rid of that stuntman."

Daphne nodded

Daphne: "There's something fishy about that."

Shaggy: "A lazy and dumb Slaking is bad enough One that smart I could live without Get it? Live without?"

Scooby(nodded): "RMe too!"

Fred then remembered something about this specific movie set.

Fred: "Did you know that this set was built on the ruins of the original old mansion?"

Shaggy9stood up): "Zooks! There should be some good clue huntiong around here!"

Fred: "Well, waht are we waiting for? Let's search!"

Scooby: "RScooby-Doo!!"

Then, the gang all got up and walked around the set, looking for any sort of clue.

Fred: "Keep a sharp lookout for anything that could give us a clue."

Scooby sniffed around, locating a hamburger, sniffing it.

Shaggy: "Hey, Scooby, what's that you found?(walked over to Scooby) Somebody left half of a hamburger! Well, hunting clues always makes me hungry."

Everyone looked over.

Fred: "Wait, that's a clue!!!"

Velma: "Don't eat that clue, Shaggy!"

Shaggy was a little confused.

Shaggy: "Wha? Clue?"

Scooby(looks up at Shaggy): "Reah! RClue!"

Velma gestured to the various imprints on the burger

Velma: "See thos eimprints on the bun? The Slaking was eating this burger."

Daphne wa s a tad confused. Most Slakigns she's met aren't really meat eaters, they usually jsut eat plant based foods.

Daphne: "That's odd, Slakings don't usually eat meat."

Fred: "Maybe our Slaking is more than a Slaking."

Scooby then decided to eat up what was left after hsi stomach growled.

Fred: "Okay, let's split up and search for this Slaking that eats hamburgers. And remember, this set was built to make a horror movie."

Daphne: "So watch out for trapdoors."

Then, the gang splits up, Velma going with Scooby and Shaggy and Daphne going with Fred.

Scoobyy9concerned): "RTrapdoors??? RHidden bedrooms?"

Shaggy, Scooby, and Velma found themselves in one of the many rooms on the set.

Shaggy: "It's kinda spooky in here."

Velma(Looked at Shaggy): "Oh don't be such a scaredy-Litten."

???: "Stick 'em up! What's the password?"

Everyone looked around.

Velma: "Shaggy! Are you trying to be funny?"

Shaggy shook his head.

Shaggy(a little spooked): "No! But somebody else is trying!"

???: "Stick 'em up! What's the password?"

Scooby walks over slowly to where the voice was coming from as Velma and Shaggy put their hands into the air.

???: "Stick 'em up! What's the password?"

Shaggy: "The Great Slaking is First Rate!"

Velma(thought for a second): "Wait a minute! That sounds like a Chatot!"

Scooby pulled a cover off of a cage, revealing a Chatot was in the cage.

Chatot: "Stick 'em up! What's the password?"

Scooby snickered

Scooby: "RScooby-Doo!!!"

Shaggy chuckled a little.

Shaggy: "Now that's what i call 'fowl play'. Get it?"

Scooby gave a snicker before some growling was heard and the Slaking appeared, causing Scooby to gulp and Shaggy took off running.

Shaggy" IT'S THE SLAKING, LOOK OUT!!!!!!"

The Slakign ended up picking up Shaggy as it tumbled down some stairs, landing on top of Shaggy as he flaied around, tearing it apart as it was just a stuffed dummy.

Shagy: "Can't we talk this over man to Pokemon?!??!???"

When Velma and Scooby got there, the 'Slaking' was already torn to shreds.

Velma: "Shaggy, that ape's stuffed!"

Shaggy)confused): "Stuffed Slaking??? 9got up from the mess he made_ well I hope you don't think it had me fooled for a minute, I knew it all the time."

Scooby rolled his eyes.

Scooby: "ROh brother...."

Later, they met up in a small study and looked around.

Daphne: "There isn't anything in here but a bunch of old books."

Fred found a script on a table.

Fred: "Here's something! It's a copy of the film's shooting script."

Daphne looked over.

Daphne: "Next you'll tell me the Slaking was in here reading it."

Fred: "Someone left it open to the scene they were shooting today."

Daphne went back to searching through the shelves via reaching her hand up and feeling around.

Daphne: "Maybe there's a clue up here on these shelves."

Fred sat down to read the script himself.

Fred: "Hey, did you know that in the film, people mysteriously vanished in this room?"

Daphne ended up clicking a hidden switch which, when clicked, made the wal behind Fred slide open and the chair he was sitting in, which was on some sort of platform on a gear system, got tipped into the area behind the wall.

Fred(startled): "Whoa!!"

When Fred was out of sight and the platform the chair was on was back in place, the wall slid back into place. Meanwhile, Scooby was knocking on the walls, checking if any were hollow but when he went by the mirror, so did on the other side was what was clearly the Slaking with a mask of Scooby's face on.

Then, with some confusion, Scooby doubled back and did various things, such as putting a paw up, blinking, stretching his mouth out, wiggling his ears, but the Slaking wearing the mask mimicked it perfectly every time.

He then ducked to the side, going out of the mirror. Meanwhile, everyone looked to where Fred was and he was nowhere to be seen.

Shaggy: "Hey! Like, where did Freddy go???"

Daphne: "He's vanished!"

Scooby then tried to get their attention, which worked and they all looked over.

Velma(confused): "What's with Scooby-Doo?"

Scooby began pointing at the mirror.

Daphne: "Something about the mirror."

Scooby: "RWatch. (walked past the mirror and on the other side, so did the Slaking with the Scooby mask) RSomething phony."

Shaggy(confused): "Something phony???"

Scooby nodded before going in front of the mirror, this time nothing was there.

Scooby: "RSee?"

Suddenly, the Slaking appeared, no Scooby mask, and roared loudly, Scooby yelping and ducking out of the way of it's grasp.

Shaggy: "Zoinks!!!!! (ran towards a door) Cut out!!! It's the Slaking!!!!!"

When he got to an escape door, Shaggy tried to open it but to no avail. The door was locked.

Shaggy: "It's locked!!!"

The Slaking roared as it got closer.

Shaggy: "Scooby, do something!"

Velma: "Yeah, talk to him! Boltund to beast!"

Scooby walked up and began barking at the Slaking, eventually getting it to start backing away.

Velma: "Whatever you said, Scooby, it's working!"

Shaggy looked around.

Shaggy: "He's retreating!! After him!!"

Scooby began making the Slaking back up up the stairs.

Shaggy: "It's dark at the top of the stairs, he'll get away!! (looked at Daphne) Turn on some lights, Daphne!"

Daphne looked at a panel of switches, all of which were labeless.

Daphne: "Oh dear........which is the right switch?"

Daphne hit a switch but it turned the stairs into a flat surface, Scooby starting to slide down.

Shaggy: "Wrong switch, Daphne!"

Scooby slid right past them.

Scooby: "RScooby-Doo!!!!!"

Scooby hit a wall, dazed a little.

Shaggy: "Why didn't you put on the brakes, Scooby??"

Scooby: "RI loke to slide!(chuckled a little)"

Shaggy rolled his eyes.

Shaggy: "He likes to slide Ooooh boy."

Chapter 3​

They then managed to get the stairs back up after pushing another button.

Daphne: "That puts the stairs back, but I wonder what the other switches do."

Velma sighed.

Velma; "Well, with your luck, Daph, the next button you'll press will bring the roof down, but....go ahead."

Daphne looked at the various switches and buttons.

Daphne: "I'll try.......this one."

Daphne pushed a button and instead of bringing the roof down luckily, teh stairs full on lifted up, and standing there was Fred.

Fred: "Hi, gang."

Velma & Daphne: "It's Freddy!"

Shaggy:(with some relief) "Boy, the Slaking almost got us."

Velma: "But Scooby scared him away."

Fred: "Well, i've found the perfect trap for the Slaking. Come on!"

When they all walked into the hidden area under the stairs, the stairs closed behind them. Then Fred had taken the gang to the basement.

Fred: "Now then, this is the basement where the last scenes of the movie are to be shot. Look up there on the ceiling. (pointing up) That net was put up there to capture the Slaking in the film."

Velma: "And we can use it to capture the real Slaking."

Scooby nodded.

Scooby: "Reah reah reah reah!"

Velma: "Great!"

Daphne was a bit curious, raising an eyebrow.

Daphne: "How do you know it'll work?"

Fred: "I've tested it. (pointed at some pulleys) See that pulley? The net's connected to the rope, the rope runs down to the reel, and the reel is wired to that dark switchbox. (points at Velma) Which you will pull to release the net."

Velma noticed a marking on the floor.

Velma: "And look! Under the net there's an X on the floor where the Slaking should be when the net falls."

Daphne: "But how are we gonna get him to stand there?"

Fred: "Simple, Daphne. When the Slaking reaches the X, you and I will put the spotlight on him which will blind him for a second while Velma pulls the switch to release the net."

That only leaves one thing, which Shaggy was the one to ask about.

Shaggy: "Yeah, btu how are you gonna get the Slaking down into the basement?"

Fred and the girls both looked at Shaggy and Scooby.

Shaggy: "Hey, don't look at me."

Scooby: "RDon't look at me!"

Velma pulled out a few Scooby Snacks from her pocket.

Velma: "Scooby, would you do it for a few Scooby Snacks?"

Scooby hummed in thought.

Velma: "You get a bonus snack after you get the Slaking down here, okay?"

Scooby:(nods) "ROkay."

Shaggy: "Scooby Snacks won't work on me this time."

Daphne then pulled out a small bowl containing what looked like some sort of curry.

Daphne: "Would you do it for a Shaggy Snack? A little something I whipped up."

Shaggy was a little confused but interested.

Shaggy: "Huh?? A Shaggy Snack?"

Daphne: "Yes. It's an authentic Galarian curry using Moomoo Cheese, fresh Oran berries, Nutpea berries, pepperoni, Cheri berries, and all with a thick chocolate sauce for extra flavor."

Shaggy; "Ohohohohoho, i'll do it! I'll do it!"

Scooby: "RLet's go! RScooby-Doo!!!"

Then, Scooby and Shaggy went out, looking for the Slaking. And while walking, they heard some sort of noise echo throughout the sets.

Shaggy: "What's that noise?"

Scooby: "RI don't know."

They reached a door that led to where the noise seemed to come from.

Shaggy: "It came from this room."

They opened the door and it had a bunch of stuff, including a pool table and some trophies.

Shaggy: "Wow! Look at those trophies. A Swasbuck, a Ryhorn, a Pyroar, and a-"

Scooby gulped when seeing what the last trophy was.

Scooby: "RSlaking..."

Shaggy looks at Scooby.

Shaggy: "Slaking?? Don't be silly, it's only a trophy.(grabbed a pool stick) Come on, let's play a game, Scooby."

What they didn't notice was the 'Slaking trophy' receding into the wall as it was the Slaking they were after the entire time.

Scooby: "RSome trophy. (looked back as he hit a striped ball into a middle pocket and noticed one of the trophies was missing) Ruh...one two three-RHey Raggy."

Shaggy: "Wait a minute! Waaait a minute. Watch this shot."

Scooby walked over to count the trophies on the wall, making sure he wasn't seeing things.

Shaggy: "8 ball in the corner pocket!"

Shaggy went to hit the 8 ball with his pole but the back end of it hit something, something he thought was Scooby.

Shaggy: "Sorry, Scooby. (looked up and noticed Scooby was actually counting the trophies) Uh oh...........let's see..........Scooby is over there, then who is...."

What Shaggy really hit was the slaking, who somehow appeared behind Shaggy and roared, rubbing the spot of it's stomach the pool stick hit, causing Scooby and Shaggy to drop heir pool sticks.

Shaggy:(completely scared for his life) "GO MAN, GO!!!!!!!!!"

The Slaking began chasing the guys around the table before they started running for the trap, the Slaking behind them and Fred could hear them coming.

Fred: "Here they come! Ready, Velma?"

Velma had her hand on the switch she needed to pull for the trap.

Velma: "All set, Freddy!"

Scooby and Shaggy ran in, tipping over some boxes and Scooby ended up running over to cower behind Velma.

Velma: "No, Scooby, not here!!!"

Scooby was shaking so violently he was somehow fogging up Velma's glasses.

Velma: "Hey, you're steaming up my glasses!!"

Shaggy got back up and noticed the Slaking was approaching, and fast.

Shaggy: "Get ready to spring the trap!!!"

The Slaking got blinded in the right spot.

Shaggy: "Now, Velma!!!!"

Velma couldn't tell the switches apart.

Velma: "I can't see!!!! I hope this one I have is it."

Velma pulled the switch but it didn't trigger the trap, it turned off the power to the lights in the basement and specifically the lights.

Fred: "Pull the other, switch, Velma!!! Quick! Spring the trap!!!"

Velma: "I'm trying!!"

Velma pulled the switch and triggered the trap.

Fred: "That's it! Now get the lights back on!"

Velma got the lights on after cleaning off her glasses and they did catch something in the net.

Fred: "Hey, we got him! Come on, gang!"

However, when they got there, it was in fact not the Slaking they caught, but somehow actually Shaggy as he poked his head out of a hole in the net.

Shaggy:(with heavy sarcasm) "Yeah, you got him. King Kong in the flesh."

Scooby: "RKing Kong?"

Scooby snickered a little at Shaggy's comment.

Chapter 4​

Later, they managed to finally get Shaggy out of the net.

Fred: "Well, it's a cinch that Slaking is still in the basement."

Daphne:(nodded in agreement) "he didn't have time to go back upstairs."

Scooby was pointing was pointing to something caught in a wine cask.

Shaggy: "Hey, gang, looks like Scooby found a clue."

Fred rose a curious eyebrow.

Fred: "What is it?"

Shaggy: "Scooby's pointing toa tuft of hair caught in this cask."

Fred: "Let's have a look."

Then, everyone walked over to take a better look at what Scooby found.

Daphne: "So the Slaking ran by here. What does it prove?"

Velma: "Maybe it's not a wine cask."

Shaggy was a bit skeptical.

Shaggy: "Okay, if it's not, what do you think it is?"

Velma opened the wine cask revealing it was a door.

Velma: "Off hand, i'd call it a door."

Daphne noticed the direction the tunnel was heading in.

Daphne: "It's a tunnel that goes back into the mountain!"

Scooby whimpered a little.

Fred: "So THIS is the way he escaped. He won't get away this time!"

When they were walking through the tunnel, Velma had let her Umbreon out so they could see via Umbreon using Flash.

Fred: "You can bet the film company didn't build THIS tunnel."

Daphne: "No, this is more like the cave where the Slaking is supposed to live."

Velma: "IF you believe the old legend."

Shaggy: "I believe it."

They ended up coming out a secret door that led them to somewhere else nearby the film set.

Daphne:(confused) "Where are we?"

Shaggy noticed just where they were.

Shaggy: "Wow, the dressing rooms for the movie people!"

Fred: "Then we better search them. Come on!"

When walking, Fred had the group stop.

Fred: "We'll split up here. Shaggy, you and Scooby take this one.(pointed at one of the dressing rooms) Now, play it cool."

Shaggy's teeth were chattering and clanking together.

Shaggy: "Cool?? I-I-I-I'm an ice cube."

Fred: "We'll go on and take the next one."

When they went into the respective trailers, Shaggy looked around the trailer him and Scoby entered.

Shaggy: "Look at all this groovy stuff! (noticed how many masks there were) Man, we could play Halloween!"

Shaggy grabbed an old wig and put it on.

Shaggy: "Check this, Scooby. (cleared his throat) 'Give me liberty or give me pizza pie!'."

Scooby snickered a little before grabbing a mask and putting it on.

Scooby: "RHey, Rag."

Shaggy looked over and saw Scooby in a Slaking mask, growling and snarling, getting a chuckle from Shaggy.

Shaggy: "That's great, Scooby."

Shaggy set the wig he had down before noticing a camera.

Shaggy: "Hey, here's one of those fancy new cameras. (picked up the camera) It can develop a physical copy of a digital photo and print it in less than a minute. (looked at Scooby) I'll take your picture. Act fierce!"

Scooby nodded and did so, growling and snarling again, Shaggy getting another photo.

Shaggy: "Great! Do another!"

Scooby took off the mask and held it up.

Scooby: "RHow's this?"

Shaggy took the photo and Scooby set the mask down and went to put on a helmet and Shaggy had to clear some space out of the camera.

Shaggy: "I gotta make some extra space....(noticed the Slaking in the mirror, but without the mask, and about to put it on as Shaggy made space for one more photo) Uh oh....that's the Slaking in the mirror. Without his mask on! HEY!!!"

The 'Slaking looked at Saggy and he got a photo and then the full Slaking appeared.

Shaggy: "Look out, Scooby!! The Slaking!!!!"

The Slaking snarled and roared.

Shaggy: "GANGWAY!!!!!!!"

Shaggy and Scooby bolt out of the trailer, camera in hand and Slaking coming in for them.

Shaggy:(checked the photo and saw it was ready to print) "I got it!!!"

Then, they began running for the others.

Shaggy: "Hey, gang, I got the Slaking on film!!!"

Fred, Velma, Daphne, and Umbreon looked over.

Fred: "That's Shaggy and Scooby!!"

Scooby slid to a stop and Shaggy tripped over him, falling to the ground, but making sure the camera didn't break.

Shaggy: "I got a picture of the Slaking without his mask! He's right behind us."

Fred then got an idea that was guaranteed to trap the Slaking even if it does end up trapping extra people.

Fred: "Quick, run for the house so we can trap him!!"

They all run as quickly as they can so they can towards the haunted mansion set, the Slaking right behind them. When they got in, Fred ducked behind the wall next to the switch panel.

Fred: "Keep going right up the stairs and don't stop!!"

And so they did, the Slaking going up after them. When the Slaking was halfway up the stars, Fred peeked out and hit the button, causing the stairs to turn into a slide which sent the Slaking zooming right past the doorway again and into some crates and props.

Slaking: "HELLP!!!!!"

then, there was a crash indicating a successful capture and Fred made the stairs pop back up and everyone walked down.

Shaggy: "Hey, look at this snapshot. Here's a clue to end all clues! (had the camera print the intended photo and showed it to the gang) Take a look at our Slaking."

Everyone took a look and realized who the culprit had been.

Mystery Inc.: "It's Carl, the stuntman!!!!!"

The next day, the gang had met with Daphne's uncle after Carl was taken away by the police.

John Maxwell: "Yep, Carl decided to sabotage the picture just because I wouldn't let him play the male lead. What a pity."

Fred: "It sure was clever of him to lock himself in that trunk yesterday."

Daphne:(took a sip from her cup of tea she had on her) "And tell that phony story of the Slaking throwing him in there."

John nodded.

John Maxwell: "Well, I can't thank you kids enough."

Velma: "Shaggy should get most of the credit. (looked around for her 6 foot tall lanky friend) Where is Shaggy?"

In the chairs next to the fireplace, there was the Slaking and even Scooby and the Slaking looked back and growled.

Velma: "Oh no, not again!"

Fred: "It looks like Shaggy wants to try out for the Slaking role in the picture."

However, the Slaking pulled it's mask off revealing it was actually Scooby.

Scooby:"RSurprise!"

Scooby snickered, but this was confusing Fred and the girls.

Daphne:(confused) "But.....there's Scooby-Doo in the other chair."

The other Scooby pulled his mask off and was actually Shaggy.

Shaggy: "Surprise! It's the Scooby head the Slaking was wearing."

Everyone had a good chuckle.

John Maxwell: "Now THERE'S real talent."

Shaggy:(looked at Scooby) "We sure fooled them, Scooby. We oughta be in the movies."

Scooby: "Reah! RScooby-Dooby-Doo!!!!"

Scooby chuckled once more and licked Shaggy's cheek, smiling.

EPISODE 8: "Foul Play in Funland"​

The gang anticipate the opening of a theme park while seaweed collecting on a nearby beach. But when the theme park's lights come on and the rides start running, when the park is supposed to be closed, they try to find out who is doing it, and find the shenanigans are being caused by a strange man who acts like a torpedo.

Chapter 1​

At a beach near an un-opened theme park, Scooby and the gang were searching around in the shallow part of water for some seaweed, Scooby being furthest in but not too far. For Scooby, the water was only five or so inches up his legs..

"We should really get going, gang, it's getting dark." Fred stated once seeing how dark the sky was

Shaggy turned to Scooby and said, "Hey, let's have that last bit of seaweed, Scooby."

"RComing up, Scooby-Doo!" Scooby said as he walked over

Scooby, once getting over to the group and then dropped the seaweed into the bucket

"Great shot." Shaggy comments. "I've heard of bird mons and rabbit mons, btu you're the first seaweed mon i've ever heard of."

"RSeaweed mon? Ryuck!" Scooby responded

"Come on, Shaggy, you know Scooby doesn't like uncooked seaweed." Daphne stated

"I like it. It's fun to dig for and even more fun to try to eat." Shaggy stated as he noticed the not yet opened Funland amusement park. "Hey, don't you wish Funland was open? The Root beer floats, the chocolate custard, the rides? Man, that's living."

"Yeah, but right now it looks a little spooky, possibly haunted." Daphne responded

"RHaunted?" Scooby quickly stated before he quietly gulped

"Don't be silly, Daphne." Velma stated

Just then, all the lights and rides switched on in the theme park as if someone is there which got everyone confused.

"Hey, look at that" Fred said, surprised

"But that's impossible The place won't be open for weeks!" Velma responded

The rides still moved around as the lights were on and were very bright.

"Look!" Shaggy pointed out as he sees a train of roller coaster carts going along the tracks

"Well, this calls for a little investigation." Fred stated

Later, everyone stood at the front of the theme park, confused yet amazed by the fact everything was running.

"It's hard to believe." Fred stated. "Everything's running, but nobody's here!"

"Man, it's a dream come true." Shaggy stated as he noticed a lunch booth of sorts. "Let's check out that lunch counter over there, Scooby."

Shaggy and Scooby walked over to the lunch counter and Shaggy gently tapped the wood it was made out of.

"A little service please?" Shaggy jokingly asked, not expecting anyone to respond. "For openers, i'd like a malt, and a hot dog with all the trimmings."

"RMe too!" Scooby stated

Just then two plates, both with hot dogs that had all possible hot dog toppings on it, and two malts slid in front of the two as Ruby walked over. The three looked at the two orders, at the inner part of the stall but saw no one. That's when Shaggy said something.

"Who did that???" Shaggy said, confused by the fact the orders were actually perfectly made

Elsewhere in the park, Fred, Velma, and Daphne were at one of the many game stalls. Specifically a ball tossing stall.

"Hey, I used to be pretty good at this." Fred comments. "Should I give it a whirl?"

Velma and Daphne looked at each other before shrugging.

"Go ahead. Who's to know?" Velma responds

Fred picked up a ball.

"Okay...batter up!!" Fred states, hurling the ball at a stack of bottles

The ball hit the bottles in a way that knocked them all down in one shot.

"Good throw, Freddy!* Velma said

"Well, i've still got the old touch. Let's go find Shaggy and Scooby." Fred said

"Gee, Freddy, shouldn't we stack those bottles back up?" Daphne asked

"You're right, Daphne." Fred responded

Velma then noticed that all the bottles were stacked up again and a doll of sorts was on the counter.

"Look, the bottles are all stacked up again! And what's that on the counter??" Velma stated getting everyone to turn and look

"It's a prize for knocking down the bottles." Fred stated. "But our backs were only turned for a minute!"

"Oh, wow. This place is really weird." Daphne said

"Well, somehow I got this prize. So the least I could do is pay my 2 bits." Fred said as he put a couple of coins

"What a cute kewpie doll." Daphne stated

Just then, the register rang up a price making everyone jump a little.

"The register rang up 35 cents while we were looking at it with no one there." Velma stated

"I'm beginning to wonder if this place is haunted." Fred stated

Elsewhere in the park, Scooby and Shaggy were goofing around getting snacks.

"Hey Scooby, do you think we stand a chance of getting some cotton candy too?" Shaggy asks

Scooby finished his drink and looked at Shaggy.

"Reah!" Scooby responds

Shaggy spotted something and he set his stuff down.

"Hold it!" Shaggy comments. "I just saw somebody."

Then, the thing Shaggy saw, some sort of strange looking man, walked in and out of stalls.

"There he goes again!" Shaggy exclaims, noting the man's speed. "Man, he's faster than a speeding bullet!"

"RSuperman...." Scooby mutters

The strange man continued walking in and out of stalls. Eventually, Scooby and Shaggy started to look for the strange man, Scooby sniffing for any scent he could possibly get.

"Come on, Scooby, pick up the scent." Shaggy says

Scooby looks up and says. "RNo scent."

"No scent? He has to have a scent! Why, he'd have to be a GHOST not to leave a scent." Shaggy responds before realizing what he said. "Uh.....did I say ghost?"

Scooby nodded before pointing in a random direction, Shaggy looking in the direction Scooby pointed.

"I see him!" Shaggy comments

The strange man continued walking around, into the Hall of Mirrors.

"That was no ghost. He looks more like a man from Mars!!!" Shaggy states

Shaggy and Scooby then follow the strange man into the mirror and began goofing around in the mirror.

"Wow, look at what that last hot dog did to me!" Shaggy jokingly says while goofing around with a mirror

They continued goofing off, Scooby seeing what he thought was a massive Ratatta.

"RELP!!!! RA GIANT RATATTA!!!!" Scooby yelps

Shaggy looks over and says, "That's no giant Ratatta, it's only a normal Ratatta."

Scooby sighed with relief. Shaggy gave a good chuckle before looking at another mirror and stiffing up a little, seeing what he thought was the strange man.

"Scooby Doo....where are you???" Shaggy comments

Shaggy looked back and...
..the strange man was actually standing there and wasn't part of a mirror reflection!

"YEOW!!!!!" Shaggy yelped

Scooby's hackles stood up and the two bolt out of the Hall of Mirrors and hide in some trash cans. The two poke their heads out adn spot the strange man walking off.

"THERE HE IS!!!" Shaggy yelps before looking at Scooby. "Whaddya say? Let's go find the others?"

"RScooby Doo! RI'm with you!" Scooby responds

Meanwhile, Fred and the girls were looking around for Scooby and Shaggy.

"I don't see Shaggy or Scooby anywhere." Daphne says

Velma noticed the strange man behind the fence.

"There's someone going along behind that fence!" Velma points out

They watched as the strange man headed towards the Ferris Wheel.

"It's no one we know, but whoever he is, i'd like to ask him a few questions." Fred says

Then, after the strange man got on the wheel, it turned on.

"He's taking a ride on the Ferris Wheel." Velma says

The Ferris Wheel made a 180 rotation, the strange man stuck at the top.

"It's stopped and that man's trapped up at the top!" Daphne says

Fred walks over to the wheel crank.

"I'll get him down. I wanna try to talk to him." Fred stated as he turned the wheel slowly* "I'll have to crank the wheel down by hand....can't leave him up there."

Once Fred had made the Ferris Wheel do another complete 180, the man was somehow gone.

"You turned it all the way around, but he's gone." Velma stated

"But he couldn't have climbed down without us seeing him." Fred responded

Just then, all the lights around the park. First a few string lights held up by poles, then stands, then some attractions.

"Look, the lights are going off all over the park!" Daphne points out

Just then, the remaining few lights that were on went off.

"Well, this is the first time I ever wanted to LEAVE Funland." Daphne stated

Chapter 2​


Outside the park after the lights all switched off, the group had re-grouped.

"Scooby and I saw him! Strictly a weirdo from outer space!" Shaggy stated

"We saw him too." Fred replied

Velma spotted a nearby house and pointed at it.

"Look over there. I wonder who's house that is." Velma said

"It could be the caretaker's. let's go see." Fred stated. "We should tell him about these mysterious happenings."

"I hope he's a nice, sweet old caretaker." Daphne states

Later, the group was talking to the caretaker, Mr. Jenkins and his sister Sarah Fred was the one who started telling the story.

".......and believe me, Mr. Jenkins, all the rides were running." Fred stated

"I don't see how." Mr. Jenkins stated

"Well, she was sure running wide open." Shaggy stated "Lights, music, everything!"

"That's impossible. We're the caretakers here an my brother and I would have seen the lights." Sarah stated

"Sarah's right." Mr. Jenkins stated

"Well, we saw a very strange character running around out there." Fred stated

"He was, like, weirdo." Shaggy added

"RWeirdo-like." Scooby further stated

"Fiddlesticks! Besides us, there's no one else on this island." Sarah stated in response

"Maybe the moonlight was playing tricks on you." Mr. Jenkins stated

Shaggy tried to correct the saying, "But, man, I tell you-"

"Let it go, Shaggy. Sorry to have bothered you, sir." Fred intercepts. "Let's go, gang."

Outside the house they were just having a conversation in, the gang stood, unsure what to do next.

"How did you like THAT for double-talk?" Fred stated

"We can't go home now." Velma stated. "We know we didn't imagine all those kooky things that happened."

"Count me out. I'm not looking for any creep with a frozen face." Shaggy stated

Daphne rolled her eyes.

"Shaggy, sometimes I think you'd rather eat pizza pie than solve a mystery." Daphne stated

"Let's vote on it. Mystery or pizza pie?" Shaggy stated, holding up his hand

"RPizza pie!" Scooby stated

"Cut it out, you two." Fred stated. "Come on, let's get back to the beach"

Later, at the beach, the gang stationed themselves behind a propped up boat to keep an eye on the park.

"Ok, we'll keep watch from here." Fred stated

"It's sure dark." Velma comments

Shaggy was getting bored.

"What do they call this, a stakeout? I'd rather have a steak-in. Like, a sirloin steak in me, that is." Shaggy stated

"RMe too. Reah!" Scooby stated as he licked his lips when simply thinking of a sirloin steak

"Oh, stop it! Stop it! I can't stand it!" Shaggy said, wanting Scooby to stop

"Be quiet, you two!" Fred quietly snapped

"We've been here an hour, and no sign of life." Velma stated

"We'll give it 10 minutes more." Fred replied

Just then, some music started from the amusement park's systems.

"Is that music I hear?" Shaggy questioned

The lights all around the park started switching on again.

"Look! All the lights are going on!" Daphne stated

"Here we go again." Velma replied

"There's no doubt this time, let's get over there, quick!" Fred exclaimed

Later, when they got to the front gates of the park, everything was acting up. The cotton candy machine was overflowing with cotton candy, the hot dog stand was shooting out hot dogs, and the merry-go-round was running backwards.

"Something's haywire!" Fred stated

"What's wrong with the merry-go-round? It's running backwards!" Daphne said

"Look at the cotton candy machine, it's gone crazy!" Velma further states

"And the hot dog stand, I can't stand it!" Shaggy says

Scooby walked over and was eating the hot dogs as they flew out each time in one bite. After managing to eat 5 hot dogs like that, it stopped and Scooby looked over to see Shaggy catching the hot dogs on a large plate.

"RHey!" Scooby said, nearly snapping

"What's the matter, Scooby? I like to eat too, ya know." Shaggy said

Fred looked around before seeing the strange man juggling balls made of glass.

"Look, there's that strange guy again!" Fred stated

"What a time for a sideshow." Daphne said in response

The strange man kept juggling the glass balls.

"Come on, everybody! After him!" Fred ordered

And with that, Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby chased after the strange man as he took off running. They came to a stop when he entered one of the stands and started throwing the prize dolls that were in the stand all over the place.

"Look what he's doing!" Daphne said

Everyone covered their eyes so they don't directly get hit in the face by anything getting thrown out of the stand. The moment all the flying toys stopped, Fred saw him going into the Tunnel of Love on a boat.

"There he goes into the Tunnel of Love!" Fred pointed out. "We have to go in after him!"

"I want to go, like, home." Shaggy said

When in the Tunnel of Love, Fred and Shaggy were using the oars to move the boat everyone was in through the water.

"Row faster, we can catch him!" Fred said

Shaggy then saw something approaching the in the water from the other end of the tunnel.

"There's something in that tunnel." Shaggy stated as he then went wide eyed, managing to find out who it was. "It's him!"

"He's swimming right at us!" Fred added

"I thought we wanted to catch him!" Daphne stated

"Like an angered Gyrados, he's gonna ram us!!" Shaggy said

The robot then crashed through the boat, knocking everyone into the water then continued swimming out of the tunnel.

"That.....is no ordinary man. He's gonna be hard to track down." Fred says

"He'd better look out I don't catch him. I'll make him pay for what he did to my hair." Daphne stated since her hair was soaking wet

Later, elsewhere in the park, Shaggy and Scooby were standing around.

"RLet's go back." Scooby said

"We can't go back, Scooby. Freddy said to look on this side of the park." Shaggy stated in response. "Now, it's okay just to look for the torpedo man, as long as we don't find him."

Scooby looked around, saw something, and pointed at it and asked, "RWhat's that?"

Shaggy looks in the direction Scooby was pointing and saw he was pointing at one of those hit the button to test your strength games.

"Oh, that. That's a real fun game, Scooby." Shaggy said as he walked over to the game. "Come on, i'll show you how it works."

Shaggy then picked up the hammer and started to explain how the game works.

"Now, you take this hammer, and you hit that button. The ball goes up to the top and rings the bell." Shaggy explained. "Now, watch the old master."

Shaggy took a few deep breaths and lifted the hammer to try to hit the button hard enough to make the ball hit the bell. However, once he had the hammer over his shoulders, he fell over and Scooby chuckled a bit.

Shaggy quickly got up after that.

"Wait a minute. Wait a minute." Shaggy stated as he slowly started trying again. "Now i've got it!"

Shaggy then swung the hammer down with as much force as he can and the ball goes all the way up to.....the He-Man level before it fell back down and Shaggy set the hammer back down.

Scooby then walked over and grabbed the hammer with his tail.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Shaggy asked

"RMy turn." Scooby responded

"Your turn? With your tail?" Shaggy further asked. "Let me out of the way."

Shaggy took several upon several steps back as Scooby started spinning the hammer around with his tail.

"RScooby-Doo!!" Scooby exclaimed

Scooby then swung the hammer down with enough force to send the ball all the way up to the bell and ring it. He then sat the hammer down and walked over to Shaggy not noticing the strange man grabbing the hammer.

"Hey, that as great. You gotta have the strongest tail in the world." Shaggy stated before seeing the strange man. "It's him."

The robot slammed the hammer down on the button with not only enough force to make the ball hit the bell and ring it, but to break off the top piece the bell was on!

"He wins! Let's go, man!" Shaggy exclaimed as him and Scooby took off running

The robot then chased after the two for whatever reason. Shaggy and Scooby naturally kept running.

Chapter 3​


As they continued running, Shaggy noticed the stranger was still pursuing them, and getting closer.

"He's gaining on us!!!" Shaggy yelps. "Head for the roller coaster!"

As the first car was moving, Shaggy and Scooby hopped into a seat near the front. However, what they didn't notice was the stranger was in the car at the back at the set of cars they were in. Shaggy then looked back and saw the robot slowly approaching them seat by seat.

"Yikes!! He's climbing up the cars after us!!" Shaggy yelled. "Let's go, Scooby!"

The two quickly climbed to the front right as they began going down the first downward slope.

"Here we go!!!" Shaggy shouted as the carts went down the first slope of the roller coaster

The two were screaming. But not like you usually would on a roller coaster, they were screaming for their lives cause of the robot behind them.

"Yeow!! We're trapped!!" Shaggy exclaimed, seeing the robot only 20 seats away from him and Scooby

Meanwhile, back at the ground level, Fred, Velma, and Daphne got to the roller coaster in time to see what's going on.

"Look! There's Shaggy and Scooby in the front seat of that car!" Fred said, pointing up at Shaggy and Scooby as the robot was only 12 seats away from reaching Scooby and Shaggy

"And that strange man is after them!" Velma added

Daphne looked around, and saw an empty car on the other track for the coaster and said, "There's an empty car on the other track!"

Fred walked over to the speed control for the empty car and got ready to pull it.

"I'll try to slow it down, maybe they can jump into it!" Fred comments

Fred then pulled the lever as hard as he could and slowed down the second car.

"Jump, you two!!!" Velma called out to Shaggy and Scooby

Shaggy and Scooby jumped, Velma covered her eyes, then a few seconds later, uncovered her eyes and sighed with relief at the sight of Shaggy and Scooby safely being in the second roller coaster car

"They made it!" Velma cheered

"RScooby-Doo." Scooby said before sighing with relief

Later, once the two had gotten off the roller coaster and regrouped with the others, the first one to say something was Daphne.

"Nice jump, you guys." Daphne stated

"Thanks, gang, but don't ever let us do that again." Shaggy responded

Velma then spotted the other car coming in.

"That character's train is coming in." Velma stated

Fred saw some nearby crates and said, "Everyone behind those crates!"

Just after everyone hid behind the crates, the stranger's car came in except, it was completely empty.

"But it's empty. How could he get out??" Daphne questioned

Velma then looked up, pointed, and said, "Look, he's up there!"

Everyone looked and the stranger was on the highest point of the tracks and was looking as if he's about to do something.

"What's he gonna do??" Velma asked

The stranger then did a swan dive off the top of the rails but it changed into the shape of a belly flop diving maneuver.

"He's diving off!" Fred exclaimed

Just then, the robot crashed right through the roof of a tent, ripping a hole in it and a loud crashing sound was heard.

"Come on, he could be hurt." Fred states as he follows Velma and Daphne

"Let's go, Scooby." Shaggy told his canine companion before following the others

Scooby then slowly was following the others, his tail poking out from behind the crate.

Later, in the tent, they were all confused about why he wasn't there but the traces of where he fell were.

"He's.....He's not here!" Daphne stated, surprised

"There's where he crashed through the tent." Fred said, pointing at the large torn hole

"And you can see where he hit the crate below that hole." Velma added, pointing at the damaged crate. "It defies all the known laws of physics."

"Man, I wish you could have seen his eyes." Shaggy stated. "Like two taillights on a hot rod."

"Reah! RHot rod!" Scooby said

"Hot rod. That's it!" Fred randomly exclaimed

Later, elsewhere in the park, Velma and Scooby were in a dodgem car, since this was part of Fred's plan to catch the stranger.

"The answer is, this guy can move so fast.....we need something fast to catch him." Fred explained

"And we're gonna soup up this electric car to try to catch him?" Shaggy asked

"Right. We'll increase the flow of power at the battery." Fred answered

Shaggy reached over, gently grabbed a small switch, and said, "This might jazz it up."

However, the switch Shaggy hit turned on the small car from the motor.

"No, Shaggy! You turned it on at the motor!" Fred stated

"Now Velma can't stop it!" Daphne said as the small car took off

The car bumped into a small metal pipe on the ground, passing over it but Velma's glasses came flying off.

"My glasses!! I lost them!" Velma exclaimed

Scooby whimpered as the car sped around Funland, Velma tried to hit the breaks only for there to be no breaks.

"There's no breaks, Scooby, and I can't see without my glasses." Velma stated. "But it's a nice wide street."

Scooby whimpered more and covered his eyes.

"Oh, don't fret, Scooby." Velma said

Scooby uncovered his eyes, looked around, and saw the stranger and pointed at him.

"RThat's him!" Scooby pointed out

"Oh, I see the traffic cop, silly. Right turn isn't it?" Velma replied as the small car, with her and Scooby in it, zoomed right under the stranger's right arm

Scooby looked back at the stranger and saw he was chasing after them and said, "RGo, Velma!"

The stranger remained chasing after Velma and Scooby.

"Hey, Scooby, are we in the right lane now?" Velma asked, blindly steering, managing to somehow stay in the center path between all the stalls and games

"Right lane?" Scooby responded

Scooby looked around and saw they were heading right for some train tracks as the train was on it's way.

"Ripe!! RTrain coming!!!" Scooby called out

"Train coming? I told you I can't stop. The train will just have to look out for itself." Velma responded

The small car went over the tracks with the train close by. But however, the moment the stranger went on the tracks, the train rammed into him hard and sent him flying into the air. The stranger then landed in the final car connected to the train.

Meanwhile, Fred, Shaggy, and Daphne spotted the dodgem car but it was heading for some cotton candy.

"Here they come!" Fred points out. "Watch out for the cotton candy, Velma!!"

Just then the small car rammed into the huge pile of cotton candy from the cotton candy machine and came to a stop since it's wheels were clogged along with the engine getting clogged.

"I think we've stalled." Velma states

"Well, at least you're safe. What luck." Fred responds

"What do you mean luck? We didn't have a bit of trouble." Velma whipped in response. "Ask Scooby."

Scooby, who was covered in cotton candy, stuck his tongue out and licked the cotton candy off of himself all in one go.

"RScooby-Doo!" Scooby cheered

Chapter 4​


Elsewhere in the theme park, Fred had built a second trap, this time the trap being a wooden crate with a door that had a bar lock and a roof hatch.

"Well, that does it." Fred said as he wiped sweat off of his forehead

"But this guy is sure strong. And fast." Shaggy responded

"So we've had to build the prize trap of all time to catch him." Fred explained. "And this crate is it. Now, here's the plan. Someone will lure the stranger into this trap."

"But our man will be trapped in the crate with that weirdo." Shaggy stated

"No. Look up there." Fred responded as he pointed above the crate at a basket tied to a rope. "We'll pull our man out of the trap with the basket."

"Shaggy'll lock the door, and Velma and I will pull up the basket." Daphne added

"And all Scooby has to do is lure the stranger into the trap." Velma finished

"RNuh-uh." Scooby quickly responded

"Anyone got any Scooby Snacks?" Shaggy asked

Scooby immediately shook his head.

"RNo snacks. RNot me!" Scooby stated

"It's not fair. I'll go with Scooby." Velma said. "We can use the dodgem car."

"RNo car. RI'll go! RI'll go!" Scooby responded, not wanting a repeat of what happened earlier

Later, at the fry stand, a barrel popped out from behind it. Scooby poked his head out with the barrel lid on his head and looked around before going back into the barrel and the lid went back into place and the barrel came running out from behind the stand showing Scooby's legs as he ran. After some more running around, they bumped into something and poked their heads out of the barrel and looked up at what they bumped into. It was the stranger. Naturally, Scooby screamed and went back int the barrel and Scooby went running again. The robot simply ran after them. Eventually, the barrel went flying off of Scooby.

The chase first led to the amusement park's Wax Museum. Scooby first hid as a random cave person. However, the first thing the stranger did was violently shake the stuffed Lycanroc statue in the exhibit. Scooby gulped and he took off running, leaving the disguise behind.

The chase then led to the Wax Museum's pirate exhibit. Scooby was hiding as a pirate walking the plank but froze in place to look like statues. The stranger walked over and tried to grab him but he jumped over his arms and took off running out of the museum and back towards the trap, the stranger in hot pursuit.

"RSet the trap! RSet the trap!" Scooby shouts

"Set the the trap! Get ready, everyone! Here they come!" Fred told the others

Scooby ran into the trap and the stranger following them closely behind. Once the stranger entered the trap as well, Shaggy slammed the door shut and lowered the lock bar to lock the door.

"We got him!" Shaggy exclaimed

The basket then was lifted out of the crate with Scooby in it. Once fully out, Scooby used his tail to shut the top hatch of the trap.

"Scooby's safe!" Velma stated with a sigh of relief

"We got him trapped! We got him!" Shaggy further cheered

Just then, a wooden crash was heard, followed by two more wooden crashes, then hat sounded like a brick wall breaking.

"What was that??" Fred asked as Shaggy unlocked the door to the trap and looked into the trap

"Uh-oh. Like, you won't believe it! He went through the back of the trap, then through a wooden crate, and out the back through a brick wall!" Shaggy explained

"What a man!" Fred said. "He's not human!!"

Just then, a familiar male voice said, "You are absolutely right. He's not human. He's a robot."

The group looked at where the voice came from and standing in a nearby doorway was Mr. Jenkins

"It's Mr. Jenkins, the caretaker!" Velma stated

"What did you say, sir?" Fred asked

"He's Charlie. The world's most perfect robot." Mr. Jenkins answered. "I programmed him to operate everything in Funland."

"But why?" Shaggy asked

"I wanted to make enough robots to run the whole park." Mr. Jenkins answered

"But what happened? Your robot's been tearing up the place." Daphne explained

"Somehow, he got out of control." Mr. Jenkins responded. "But we can stop him if you kids will help me."

Scooby put a paw on top of his head, sighed, and said, "RHere we go again."

Later, Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, Scooby,, and Mr. Jenkins were in a jeep that had a large magnet attached to it. Yang was the one driving the jeep around the park.

"How does this equipment work, Mr. Jenkins?" Fred asked

"It's quite simple. Once we find Charlie, the powerful electric magnet will pull his metal body to it." Mr. Jenkins answered as he looked at the hand held meter like device he had in his hands

The needle on what Mr. Jenkins was holding was freaking out the closer they got to Charlie's apparent location.

"Slow down." Mr. Jenkins quickly ordered. "Charlie's close by. Look at that needle! Turn on the big magnet."

Fred flicked a switch, turning on the magnet and further proved it was on by saying "It's on."

Velma looked around, saw something moving in a shack, and said, "Aim it over at that shack. I saw something move."

Fred then carefully re-aimed the big magnet at the shack in question and after at least ten seconds, Charlie got pulled against the wall of the hack with enough force to break the wall and was slowly getting pulled towards the magnet itself.

"Don't fight it, Charlie!" Mr. Jenkins called out

Seemingly, out of nowhere, the magnet was switched off, Charlie was bent forward for a bit before getting back up straight and resuming walking.

"What happened?" Mr. Jenkins asked, confused as he then looked at the main power cable for the magnet and saw it had been cut. "This cable has been cut."

Just then, a loud rash noise was heard and everyone looked over to see Charlie had crashed to the ground.

"Charlie's crashed!" Daphne exclaimed

"I was afraid of that.." Mr. Jenkins said with a sigh. "The electro-magnet has fouled up his circuits."

Scooby then walks off as if he saw someone.

"Scooby's up to something." Velma said as Scooby went over to a fence and pointed. "Someone's behind that fence."

Scooby, who was still pointing, looked back at the others, then back at the fence.

"Come out of there!!" Mr. Jenkins ordered

Some footsteps were heard behind the fence and then, Sarah Jenkins stepped out.

"Sarah! What are you doing here?" Mr. Jenkins asked

"It was me that caused Charlie to go out of control." Sarah explained. "I don't think robots should work where children come to have fun."

"She's right." Daphne states. "Charlie is nice, but kids need humans."

"Reah, yeah, yeah, yeah!" Scooby added

"I never thought about that. I just wanted a perfect robot." Mr. Jenkins replied. "But never mind, i'll rebuild him and call hi 'Charlie the Second'."

The following day in the repair lab Charlie was in, Fred, Velma, Daphne, and Shaggy were talking with Mr. Jenkins about Charlie's state.

"Well, kids, Charlie's repaired, and I think he's better than ever." Mr. Jenkins stated

"That's great, sir." Fred stated. "We came back today to see if you had him fixed up."

Shaggy looked around but didn't see Scooby anywhere.

"Hey, where's Scooby?" Shaggy asked

They all looked over and saw Charlie was scratching behind Scooby's ears.

"Well, would you look at that?" Velma said. "He's getting his ears scratched."

Scooby was smiling and the scratches were all hitting the right spots.

"ROh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy!" Scooby said to himself "RScooby-Dooby-Doo!!!"

EPISODE 9 "The Backstage Rage"​

Scooby and Shaggy discover a violin case mysteriously full of cash but when going to call the gang, it vanishes. Now, it's up to the gang to uncover the truth behind he cash int he briefcase and the mysterious puppets of the Strand Theater.

Chapter 1​

Late at night one night, Scooby and Shaggy are walking down a sidewalk in a remote neighborhood in the Johto Region, going to meet up with the rest of the gang after Shaggy and Scooby had some pizzas. It was seeming really spooky. First one to speak was Shaggy.

"Say, Scooby, kind of a spooky night, huh?" Shaggy asks as the two walked

"Reah. RSpooky." Scooby answers

Shaggy took a few whiffs of the pizza box he was carrying and sighed with joy. It smelled really good and he wanted to eat it.

"Man, the aroma of this pizza is, like, riving me wild." Shaggy comments. "You wanna eat it now? Like, right this minute?"

"Reah! Reah!" Scooby replies

They then stopped walking, conveniently by a table and Shaggy set the pizza box down on the table nearby.

"Man, this is gonna be delicious!" Shaggy states. "After all, we only had two blockbuster pizzas at the Pizza Palace, that' hardly even a snack!"

Shaggy then opens the box and on the pizza was some cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives, green peppers, and barbecued chicken. Shaggy then picked up the pizza and balanced it on his finger.

"I always wanted to be a pizza chef. Watch this." Shaggy states as he starts spinning the pizza on his finger

Scooby leans up and bites away the pizza as it spins leaving about five inches in diameter for Jaune along with his finger.

"Well, thanks for leaving my finger." Shaggy commented before hearing an oncoming car on the nearby road and looking over, not seeing the type of car it was. "Hey, maybe that's the gang in The Mystery Machine."

When he could see the type of car, it was not The Mystery Machine and was really a four door sedan. The man driving it being covered by shadows as he looks around. Just as he passes by Jaune and Scooby, the car bumps into something before driving off and a violin case falling out of one of the back windows.

"Hey, mister, you lost something!!" Shaggy called out, trying to get the driver's attention

"RHey!! RHey!!" Scooby adds

"I guess he didn't hear me." Shaggy comments. "Let's go see what it is."

Shaggy and Scooby walk over to the violin case and Jaune bends over to pick it up.

"It's a violin case." Shaggy states as he picks it up. "It...feels kinda heavy."

Jaune opens the violin case and in it, there was a lot, and I mean A LOT of money.

"Holy moly! What's this???" Shaggy exclaims. "It's full of money!!"

Scooby looks into the violin case and goes wide eyed at the amount of cash in it. It was filled to the brim with cash. Some was even taped to the top half of the case.

Shaggy closed the violin case and said, "There must be thousands of dollars here."

"RMillions!" Scooby suggests as a possible amount

"Here, hold this!" Shaggy says handing the violin case to Scooby

"RMe???" Scooby replies, confused

"Yes, you!" Shaggy responds. "Guard that while I go phone the gang!"

Shaggy then walks over to a payphone booth and starts dialing Fred's number. What he didn't notice though was the car from earlier driving by.

When the car stopped, a small Yamper showed up out of nowhere with a sprained ankle and started whimpering. This caught Scooby's attention.

"Ruh-oh." Scooby says to himself as he sets the violin case down on the curb

The Yamper then seemed to look directly at him.

"RTrouble." Scooby added, running over to the female dog

When Scooby got over to the female Yamper, he asked, "RWhat's wrong??"

What Scooby didn't notice was the strange man that was driving the car had gotten out and snatched up the violin case. Once back in the car, he pulled out a pistol and shot it in the sky making Scooby jump and turn around.

Once Scooby was turned around, the Yamper vanished, something quietly hit the ground and the car drove off. Scooby ran over to where he set the violin case and looked around.

"RYipes!! RIt's gone!!" Scooby exclaimed before facepalming lightly. "RI goofed."

Later, once the rest of the gang had arrived, they were confused bout why the violin case Shaggy told the about was nowhere to be seen.

"What happened, Scooby?? Where's the violin case full of money?" Shaggy asked

Scooby gestured that he put it down on the curb.

"I got it, so you put the case down on the curb?" Shaggy comments

Scooby nodded.

"And then what??" Shaggy asked

Scooby then gestured in a way explaining the girl dog and how he thought it was in trouble.

"A small Yamper with big eyelashes, when you saw it, you thought it was in trouble." Shaggy adds. "So you put the violin case down and went over to see it."

"Reah, reah!" Scooby responds then gesturing that someone snatched the case while he wasn't looking.

"And while you were gone, someone took the case!" Shaggy adds

Scooby nods.

"Show us where the Yamper was." Daphne states

Scooby walks over to where he saw the Yamper and pointed at where it stood when he went over to it.

"RHere." Scooby comments

"Let's all look around carefully. There might be a clue." Fred comments

"It would be better if we knew what we were looking for." Velma replies, straightening her glasses

Daphne saw something wooden on the ground and picked it up as she said, "What's this?"

Everyone examined it closely.

"Why, it's a puppet control!" Daphne states. "I wonder what it's doing here."

Fred rose an eyebrow.

"Let me see it." Fred said, grabbing puppet control from Daphne. "There's something written on this control. 'Pietro's Puppets'. That's probably the puppet show at the Strand."

Scooby then started acting like a puppet, thinking the Yamper was a puppet.

"You think that the Yamper was a....a puppet????" Shaggy asked, confused

"Reah! Reah!" Scooby responds, nodding

"So it was a puppet that lured you away from the violin case." Fred comments

"Right!" Scooby replied

Neptune thought for a second, examining the puppet control closely.

"It looks like we have ourselves a little mystery." Fred states

"Let's examine the clues." Velma states. "A puppet dog, a violin case, packs of brand new Lien, very strange...."

"They don't seem to hold together. Unless....." Daphne starts

"You've got it!" Velma adds

"That's it!!" Shaggy added further

"Counterfeiters!!!" the four said in unison

"RHuh???" Scooby said, head tilted and confused

Chapter 2​

Later, they were in The Mystery Machine heading to their next destination, The Strand Theater.

"The thing to do is to get into The Strand Theater and look around." Fred states as he drives. "But how??"

"How about getting an audition for a Pokemon show act?" Daphne suggests

"RPokemon show??" Scooby asks, curious

"That's a great idea." Velma comments

Scooby flattens his eyebrows and straightens them as much as possible. Shaggy looks back and chuckles.

"Don't look now, fans, but I thin a star is about to be born." Shaggy comments jokingly

When they got to the back door of the theater, they looked through the window and saw someone inside the back room.

"There's someone inside." Daphne comments

"A watchman or a doorman, most likely." Fred states

Shaggy spots that the doorman was working a puppet, and doing rather well at it.

"Look, he's working a puppet." Shaggy points out

"Could be another clue for us, all right." Velma replies. "Let's go inside."

When Mystery Inc. steps inside, they caught the attention of the doorman.

"Hello." Velma says

"Well, hello." The doorman relies. "What can I do for you?"

"We would like to inquire about arranging an audition for our Boltund." Velma explains

"He's a great talent." Shaggy comments. "Do a bit, Scooby."

Scooby does a short little dance almost as if on command.

"Well, that was pretty good." The doorman comments. "What do you say, Johnny?"

"No. Sorry, chum, but you can't work this show unless you're a puppet." The puppet comments via the doorman's ventriloquism

"You're very good." Daphne compliments. "Are you a puppet master?"

"No, my, no, I just fiddle with them as a hobby." The doorman comments as he gently pats the puppet's head

"You're okay with me, Pop." The puppet replies, once again via ventriloquism

"Well, you certainly seem professional." Daphne states in response

"Well, why not? The great Pietro has helped me." The doorman responds

Meanwhile, Scooby was busy checking out the other puppets in the room. While he was sniffing around, something lifted up the broom on the witch puppet, scaring Scooby and sending him running and crashing into Shaggy.

"Hey, what's with him??" Fred questions

"Yeah, what's with you, Scooby-Doo?" Shaggy adds

"RA witch RA witch!" Scooby stuttered, pointing at the puppet

"A witch??" Shaggy asked before looking over at the puppets. "Oh, I get it. On f the puppets scared you. Okay, let me up."

"You'll have to excuse him. He gets scared easily." Vlmea apologized

"That's okay." The doorman replied as he walked over to put up the puppet he had. "I'll go put Johnny away."

After getting off of Shaggy Scooby spotted some money sticking out of a drawer from the doorman's desk.

"Raggy, look!" Scooby whispers, pointing at the cash

Shaggy grabbed it as he walks over to Fred.

"Look what I got. A piece of brand new bill, just like in the violin case!" Shaggy states with a whisper

"Quick, hide it!" Fred replied frantically in a whisper

Shaggy quickly stuffed the 20 in his pocket. That's when the doorman looked back at them as he put his puppet up.

"Now, about that audition-" The doorman starts

"Not right now, we've really got to go." Fred intercepted

"What???" Velma questioned

"What's the rush??" Daphne further asked

"Freddy's right. We really gotta go." Shaggy states as they head for the door

"Well, we sure enjoyed the puppets." Fred said before he left the building. "Goodbye."

"Anytime. Anytime. Goodbye." The doorman replied as they all left the building. "Hmmm...."

Now, as they were driving, Velma finally asked something that's been on her mind since they left out of nowhere.

"What's the rush??" Velma asked. "We didn't even get a chance to search for any clues."

"Show them the clue, Shaggy." Fred ordered

Shaggy pulled out the piece of cash he and Scooby found and said, "Here it is, I found it sticking out of the doorman's desk drawer."

"A brand new 20 dollar bill!" Velma said surprised

"And i'll bet you a Hyper Potion it's a phony." Fred comments

Velma grabbed it and holds it up to the light through the windshield and said, "It sure looks real to me."

"Let's change it into a blockbuster pizza." Shaggy says, wanting another pizza

"Be serious!" Velma lightly scolds. "My expert opinion on the authenticity of this Lien is....it's absolutely genuine."

"You wanna bet that 20 was planted to throw us off?" Fred asks

"How come?" Velma asked

"Yeah, like, why?" Shaggy further asked

"To make us think that nothing fishy was going on in the theater." Fred answered

"And then, we wouldn't think of going back." Daphne comments

"I get it, but now what do we do?" Velma asked

"We go back!" Fred answered

"ROh, no." Scooby mutters

Once back at the back door of the theater, they looked in and saw that the doorman was asleep.

"We're in luck, the doorman's asleep." Fred comments in a whisper

"Come on, the door's unlocked." Velma states as she opens the door

They all walk in slowly, trying not to wake up the doorman. However, Scooby's tail knocks a small hat to the floor and he starts sweating nervously. When he looked back at the doorman who was holding one of his puppets in his sleep, he sighed in relief when he saw that the falling hat didn't wake up the doorman.

Scooby then walks back to the rest of the gang, not noticing one of the puppet's eyes opening and looking over at them.

"Let's give this stage a good going-over, gang." Fred whispers

"What are we looking for?" Velma asked

"Clues, of course. Any kind of clues." Shaggy comments as he walks over to a fake door and window set up, not noticing the statue behind it. "Why not start here in the Clues closet??" he added in a joking manner, opening the door, poking his head through it, but not seeing anything then closing the door as he looked back at the gang. "Nope, nothing here."

"Jaune, that's the worst joke I ever heard." Daphne scolded a little

"Be serious, you guys. Let's split up and start searching." Velma states "Everybody know the signal?"

Shaggy turned to Scooby and asked, "Do you know the signal, Scooby?"

Scooby nodded and tried whistling. When he finally got it out, it was really loud and possibly echoed through the building.

"Quiet!!" Fred quietley scolded

"Yeah, like, watch it!" Shaggy adds

"You stay close to Scooby. We don't want any more noise." Velma ordered Shaggy. "Ok? Let's go."

Once everyone else had left to do their part of the searching, Shaggy looked around.

"Like, wow, there's a lot of searching to do around these old sets." Shaggy comments. "Well, I guess we better split up and look around."

"Right." Scooby replies

What neither of them noticed was a cloaked figure was watching them from the banisters high above them. The figure gently put his hand on the fake door and window set up just as Scooby walked off.

"And don't forget, if you see anything suspicious, bark three times." Shaggy told to Scooby as the wooden thing fell over him, the window area being what he went through as he looked at Scooby. "Hey, Scoob, watch what you bump into!"

"RI didn't do it!" Scooby comments

"A guy could get hurt around here." Shaggy adds as him and Scooby start walking. "Come on, let's go look somewhere else."

Just then a background meant for puppet shows slammed to the ground, scaring the two and they took off running as if they saw a ghost.

Elsewhere, in a backstage storage area in the theater, Velma and Daphne were looking around.

"Gee, Velma, I wish we had a clue to a clue." Daphne comments as she fails to find anything

"Don't worry, Daphne." Velma comments. "If we stick around here, we're bound to find something."

Just then, a large sandbag fell from above, just barely missing them, which the noise caused them to jump back.

"Wow, we almost got hit by that sandbag!" Velma exclaimed

"Yeah." Daphne replies "I guess the roe must've broke."

Velma picked up the rope and noticed distinct cut marks, almost as if someone tried to kill them with the sandbag.

"Broke nothing. Look. It's been cut with a knife." Velma says, holding up the cut rope. "And ropes don't cut themselves."

Chapter 3​

Meanwhile, Scooby and Jaune were in the dressing room area, walking around.

"Let's look along here in the dressing room area." Shaggy comments

"ROkay, Raggy." Scooby replied

Shaggy spotted a spare costumes part room and said, "Hey, there should be a lot of junk in here to check over."

What neither of them noticed however, was that once they walked past a certain door, the door opened up and on the other side was a strange man in a black suit, black pants, black shoes, a black cape with red inner lining, and some sort of fedora.

"Let's browse around here a bit, Scooby." Shaggy comments as he goes over to a costume rack

"Right." Scooby replies as he follows a trail up to a box

Scooby tilts his head while staring at the box. He opens it a little and sees a bunch of bundled up cloth of some sort. After closing the box, he gets even more confused about what he just saw. When he goes to open it back up......

A jack-in-the-box clown pops up, which scared Scooby and sent him running into Shaggy's arms, yelping.

"What's with you, Scooby-Doo???" Shaggy asked, concerned

"RHe's after me!!" Scooby answers, not knowing the jack-in-the-box was just that, a jack-in-the-box

"He's after you??" Shaggy further asks

"Reha! Reah!" Scooby replied, shaking

Shaggy looked over and laughed a bit before saying, "It's only a jack-in-the-box."

Shaggy then sets Scooby back down by the box of various masks.

"Now stop clowning around and keep looking." Shaggy orders

"Right." Scooby replies, looking at the box of masks. "RWow. RFunny faces."

"Hey, Scooby, check this." Shaggy said, getting Scooby to look over and see he was in some sort of sword wielding soldier's outfit from the 1800s. "Pretty heroic, huh?"

Scooby laughed a little at the costume.

"Reah, reah." Scooby replies before putting on a mask from the box. "RWatch this."

Scooby had put on some indian style mask and growls like a monster.

"That's great! Hold it a sec." Shaggy says as he pulls out a black cape with red inner lining and a fedora and put the two items on and got in a pose. "The cloaked cavalier."

"RThat's a doozy." Scooby replies, laughing

When Scooby went to put on another mas, he saw another man, dressed in the same costume as Shaggy, and standing by the door in the same pose. At first, he thought it was just Jaune messing with him so he looked back but saw that Shaggy was still there. He looked back at where the strange man was, but gasped when he saw the man was gone.

Naturally, Scooby yelped and ended up tackling Shaggy.

"RThere were...rtwo of you!" Scooby tried to explain

"There were two of me??" Shaggy questioned. "I don't get it, Scoob."

"RGive me!" Scooby says as he grabbed the costume from Jaune and put it on and got in the pose, but one of his front legs holding up two toes as the other pointed at it. "RTwo of you."

"You saw somebody else dressed like me??" Shaggy asked, finally getting Scooby's message

"Reah, reah!" Scooby answers

Shaggy got up as the two started to run and he said, "Let's get outta here!!!"

The two then took off running, leaving the costume behind.

Back on the stage, Daphne and Velma walked out, talking to each other.

"I wish I knew what we were looking for." Daphne comments

"We'll know when we find it." Velma responds as they walked past the prompter's box, not noticing the caped man rising up in it

"Yeah, if we find it." Daphne replied

Fred came into view on the opposite end of the stage of the three girls and said, "Hey, Daphne, Velma, come over here."

The strange man then laughs maniacally, descending below stage but the three friends managed to catch a glimpse of him before he went out of sight completely

"I saw him!" Velma called out. "He was in that prompter's box!"

"Run! Get outta here!" Shaggy said as him and Scooby ran into view and stopped in front of Fred and the girls. "There's a guy in a black cape running around!"

"He was in that prompter's box." Fred states. "We ought to see what's in there, right, Scooby?"

"RNuh-uh." Scooby replies. "RNot me!"

Daphne reaches into her pocket and pulled out a Scooby Snack, aiming for into the prompter's box and saying, "Here's a Scooby Snack, no strings attached. Just catch."

Daphne tosses the Scooby Snack and Scooby tries to catch it but misses and jumps into the prompter's box after it.

Scooby then poked his head back up, looked right at Pyrrha, and said, "RDirty trick!"

"What's down there, Scooby?" Fred asks

Scooby looks below stage, looks around and looks back up at the others and says, "RViolin cases!"

"Violin cases?" Fred asked, getting a nod from Scooby. "Well, come on. Let's get below stage, quick!"

Once all below stage and looking in the violin cases, they were all empty not even violins were in any of them.

"What now?? They're all empty." Daphne states

"Not even violins in them." Velma adds

"Maybe this whole thing's a wild Ducklett chase." Fred comments

"How about that man in the black cape?" Daphne asked. "Explain him."

"And Scooby, he saw that man in the black too didn't you, huh?" Shaggy asked, getting a nod from Scooby

Just then, the organ on the stage was getting played, seemingly out of nowhere, getting everyone to look up.

"Somebody's playing the big organ on the stage!" Fred exclaims

Fred, Velma, Daphne, and Shaggy all poke their heads up to look at the organ through the prompter's box. What they saw was the man in the black playing the organ with a spotlight aimed at him. After a few more seconds of playing, the light switched off and once the light was back on, the mysterious man in black was gone.

"He's gone!" Velma called out as they all climbed back onto the stage

"It must have been our imagination." Daphne comments

"Well, that was the first time I ever heard mine." Shaggy replies

"Ho!!!" They all heard a voice yell, making them jump a little. They then saw a viking come out of nowhere. "Ho!!"

"What was that??!?!?!?!?" Shaggy questioned as Velma held onto him tightly

"I don't like looking for clues anymore." Velma added

Scooby whimpered as he ducks behind Fred. Just then, a pirate showed up out of nowhere and laughed getting them to all look over. The pirate laughed more before going up and vanishing from view.

Just then barking was heard as the Yamper puppet Scooby saw earlier on in this case walked behind a cardboard wall that was painted to look like grassy hills. Knowing what this Yamper puppet was used for, he ran after it.

"RThat's the one!!" Scooby yelled, eventually catching the Yamper puppet and bringing it back to the others and dropping it in front of them

"So THIS is the canine Mata Hari." Velma comments before seeing something sticking out of the stuffing from the puppet. "What's sticking out of that puppet's stuffing?"

Velma kneeled down and pulled it out and too one look at the thing , examining it closely..

"What a clue!" Velma exclaims "It's the front engraving plate for a 20 Poke-Dollar bill!"

"It's time we wake that doorman up and tell him what's going on!" Fred said

"Good idea, let's go." Shaggy replied

Later, when back in the doorman's office, Daphne was shaking the doorman's shoulder as they tried to wake him up.

"Mr. Doorman wake up! Wake up!" Daphne pleaded as she shook the doorman's shoulder. "Come on, wake up!"

The doorman's head slumped to the side, he was a puppet! This surprise shocked everyone, Scooby being the most shocked.

"He....He....He's a puppet, too!" Fred exclaimed

"That's all for me, fans!" Shaggy said as he ran to the door and tried to open it but had no luck since it was locked. "Hey, we're locked in! But good!"

"But we have to get out with this really important clue!" Velma said, holding the plate they had found in the puppet

Just then, a Pidgey swooped down and snatched the plate from Velma before flying off out of sight.

"There goes the plate, our only clue!!!" Fred exclaimed

"What'll we do now??" Shaggy asked

"I'll tell you what we're gonna do." Fred answers with a determined and slightly mad face. "We're going BACK to that violin case room, and giving it ANOTHER going-over!"

Chapter 4​

Once back in the below stage violin case room, Mystery Inc. was looking around for possible clues.

"Okay, Neptune, how do we start?" Shaggy asked

"Start looking or something out of the ordinary." Fred states as an answer. "Take a good look around."

After looking around, Daphne spotted an out of place harp case.

"That harp case is big enough to hide something." Daphne states

"I wonder if it's empty, too." Velma comments

Neptune walks over and opens the harp case, revealing that it was just a cover that was over the entrance to a secret room!

"It's sure not empty, it's got a whole room in it!" Shaggy comments

"Wow, we've hit the jackpot!" Fred exclaimed

Shaggy looked around the room as they walked in and spotted a printing press.

"Look at that printing press!" Shaggy comments

"And all that brand new cash over on the table." Velma adds

"You were right, Freddy." Daphne says as they walk around the secret room. "This is a big counterfeit operation!"

Just then, they heard the strange man, who in legends is called The Phantom Puppeteer, laughing from a corner in the room, getting them all to look over.

"It's him!!" Shaggy exclaims

The Phantom Puppeteer laughs manically.

"Ripes!!" Scooby yelped

"Double yipes! Let's get outta here!" Shaggy adds before they all take off running

The Phantom Puppeteer laughs as he chases after Mystery Inc.

While running, Fred spotted a door and yelled, "There's a door up ahead!"

Once Mystery Inc. and the Phantom Puppeteer run through the door, the door slammed shut and the lock bar fell into place, locking the door.

The Phantom Puppeteer, who was now out of sight somehow, laughed and said, "You know my secret!!"

"Golly, where's THAT voice coming from????" Shaggy questioned as they all ran

"In this tunnel. Who knows?" Fred responds

They all came to a stop in front of a ladder and Velma said, "It's a dead end!"

Fred put his left hand on one of the ladder's rungs, looking up as he said, "This ladder's our only way out of here, but it's way too dark to see where it goes! And the gap's too small for Charizard!!"

"We got no choice, start climbing!" Shaggy said

They all one by one started climbing the ladder. The higher up they got, the darker it got. Once they reached the top, Jaune opened a concealed trap door a bit looked around, not noticing that above the trap door was the main stage.

"Where are we?" Velma asked

"I'm not sure." Fred answers

Just then, even though they didn't notice, the Phantom Puppeteer's foot came down and held the trapdoor shut against them.

"You have learned my secret, now you can never go!!" The Phantom Puppeteer said ominously

"Come on, think of something!!" Shaggy pleaded from under the trap door

What none of them noticed for obvious reasons is that the Phantom Puppeteer's foot got off the trap door as he walked off.

"Look, one man isn't too heavy. If we all push together, maybe we can throw him off." Fred states

"Okay, let's go!" Shaggy responds

They all shoved the trapdoor open and looked around, confused as to where the Phantom Puppeteer was.

"Hey, where'd he go???" Shaggy asked

"Where are we?" Velma asked as they all one by one climbed out onto the stage

"Back on the main stage." Fred answered

Once they were all out Velma states, "Careful, everybody. He's around here some place."

"RWait for me!" Scooby calls out as he climbs onto the stage

Just then, a ghostly yell was heard as a ghost randomly appeared on the stage before hopping out of view.

"Yipe!!" Shaggy yelled

The pirate could be seen again, this time simply yelling before also hopping completely out of view.

"Ripe!!" Scooby yelled as he cowered behind Velvet

"Wait a minute!" Velma said, getting in front of everybody

"Me, wait? Why?" Shaggy asked

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Velma adds. "Remember the doorman?"

"Yes." Daphne responds

"He was a life sized puppet, wasn't he?" Velma asked

"Yes." Daphne answers

"Well, what do you think these are?" Velma further asks

"Your right: Puppets!" Fred responds. "Then there must be a puppet master."

Scooby looked around and saw the Phantom Puppet up in the banisters, messing around with puppet controls. So, he ran over to some ropes and growled as he tugged on one to untie it. Seeing this, the Phantom Puppeteer dropped the puppet controls he had and started running.

"There he is!!" Fred said as he spotted the Phantom Puppeteer. "We've gotta catch him!"

"Look at Scooby-Doo!" Velma comments, spotting what Scooby's trying to do

Just then, Scooby got the rope untied and he was pulled right up into the air and a sandbag hit the floor near where he was. Scooby then hopped into the banisters, barking as he chases the Phantom Puppeteer down, electricity trailing behind him as he ran.

"How do you like that? Ol' Scooby-Doo's got him on the run!" Fred cheers

Once the Phantom Puppeteer had grabbed onto a rope which was seemingly not connected to a sandbag, but another wooden rope base, he was holding on for dear life as Scooby barked at him.

Fred walked over to the rope base, untied the rope and said, "Good work, Scooby! I'll give you a hand!"

Fred then lets go of the rope, causing the Phantom Puppeteer to crash down into a drum. But once he tried to get out, Shaggy immediately slams a tuba onto his head effectively trapping him.

Scooby chuckles from up in the banisters.

Later in the town after the gang had called the local police to arrest the Phantom Puppeteer, who was really the doorman, who was really Mr. Pietro, Mr. Pietro is thrown into the back of the cop car.

"You kids deserve a lot of credit." The cop that had arrived states. "This town has been flooded with phony money for weeks."

"Oh, it was nothing, really." Shaggy responds. "But old Mr. Pietro posing as the doorman, sure had us fooled for a while."

"He really gave himself away when he put on his little puppet show for us." Velma further adds

"The real hero is Scooby-Doo." Shaggy comments. "By the way where is he?"

Shaggy looked around and chuckled a little when he spotted Scooby in a magician's outfit on his back legs and leaning against a wall as Shaggy says, "Oh, no...look at him."

"Like I said before, what a ham." Velma states

Scooby winks and cheers, "RScooby-Dooby-Doo!!!"

EPISODE 10: "Bedlam in The Big Top"​

The gang stumble upon a circus that is supposedly haunted by a ghost Mr. Mime who hypnotizes people with a gold coin.

Chapter 1​

On a late night within the Kalos region, a circus was trying to be set up but by the looks of it there were obviously problems. And observing from a distance was the ghost of a Mr. Mime, the Kanto variant. It looked over and saw a midget and a nearly six foot tall buff dude trying to pedal away on a bike.

Then, the Ghost Mr. Mime cackled. Suddenly, the midget and the strongman were having trouble with their bike.

"Watch it!!!" The strongman shotus. "We're gonna fall!!!"

"I can't control it!" The midget yelped as the bike snapped in half and they were going out of control

Further down the road, Scooby and the gang were heading in the direction of the two bike halves that were out of control, and the gang were obviously in the Mystery Machine.

"What's going on down the road???" Velma questions

"Dig that craazy drag race!" Shaggy comments

Then, the two parts of the bike rammed righ tinto each other, kicking up a huge cloud of dust and the dust settled just as the Mystery Machine pulled over.

"Are you alright?" Daphne asks

"Where's the little man?" Fred adds

The strongman took a deep breath and points over as he says, "He.....flew over there somewhere."

Over ona t ree branch, the midget was holding on just barely to the branch.

"HELP!!! OVER HERE! HELP!!!!!!!" The midget shouts. "I'M SLIPPING!!!!"

The midget lost his grip but luckily Scooby had gotten over there in time and caaught teh midget on his back.

"Way to go, Scooby-Doo!" Shaggy comments

Everyone gave a few cheers as Scooby trots over.

"Thanks. I'm Max the Midget." Max introduced. "And the big fella is Samson the strongman."

"Glad to meet you." Samson says

"We're glad to meet you." Fred comments. "That was some accident you had."

"That was NO accident." Max comments. "Someone fixed that bike to break in half."

"But who'd do such a thing????" Daphne questions

"Agh, neverminded." Samson says. "That circus we quit was jinxed. Right, Max?"

"It's jinxed, alright, Sam." Max comments. "Now let's get this bike put back together and get out of here!"

The gang then got back into the Mystery Machine.

"Well, good luck." Fred says

"Yeah, so long kids!" Max responds. "If I were you, i'd get out of this neck of the woods and fast!"

As they got going, Fred thought for a minute.

"What kind of a jinx would make them leave the circus?" Fred questions

"Search me." Shaggy responds

"Well, let's go see." Fred comments

As they continued driving, the ghost Mr. Mime peeked out from some bushes and cackled again, having it's eyes on making the gang it's next victim.

When they got to the circus, they met Mr. Barnstorm, and told him the story.

"I'm so sorry to hear that Max and Samson took off." Barnstorm says. "That's the last straw! Now my circus won't open this year."

"That's too bad, Mr. Barnstorm." Fred says in response. "What kind of jinx is it anyway?"

"This circus is haunted by a......a ghost Mr. Mime." Barnstorm says

Scooby and Shaggy both gulped and ask, "A ghost Mr. Mime???"

"Yes, when the ghost Mr. Mime appears in your circus, you might as well quit." Barnstorm stated.. "Circus folk are superstitious."

"But there are no such things as ghosts, Mr. Barnstorm." Velma states

"Well, so many strange things have been going on." Barnstorm responds

Scooby looked around and saw a shadow on the wall, creeping off to follow it.

"What sort of strange things?" Fred asks

"Really weird things." Barnstorm answers. "Like trapeze wires suddenly coming undone. And..then there's the Pyroars. They suddenly began acting like scared Wimpods. Believe me, that ghost Mr. Mime is here and I think you kids had better leave the grounds and go straight home!"

Shaggy shook a little.

"I'm all for that!" Shaggy comments

"Well, goodnight, Mr. Barnstorm." Fred says

As they left, Fred took a second while they were driving.

"Ghost Mr. Mimes haunting circuses is a new one on me." Fred states

Shaggy looked around the Mystery Machine and realized something was missing.

"Hey, like, where's Scooby-Doo?????!!??" Shaggy questioned

Chapter 2​

Back at the circus, Scooby had come across the ghost Mr. Mime, who was in the process of hypnotizing him with a golden coin.

"Watch the pretty coin of gold, and you will do as you are told." The Ghost Mr. Mime says as Scooby started entering a trance-like state. "You are brave and that's a fact! You will do the high wire act!"

Outside the tents, the rest of the gang had split up to look around for Scooby.

"Scooby-Doo, where are you???" Shaggy called out. "Scooby-Doo, where are you??!??!??!!!??"

However, still no sign of any sorts of Scooby's whereabouts.

"No sign of him." Shaggy comments as him adn Velma walked up to a tent. "Let's check in this tent."

When they entered the tent, Velma realized jsut what the tent was.

"It's the big top!" Velma exclaims. "Look at all this trapeze stuff!"

Shaggy looked around and saw Scooby up on the trapeze wire.

"There's Scooby!" Shaggy points out. "And look at what he's doing!"

They continued watching as Scooby balanced across the high wire.

"Scooby, get down!!!" Velma shouts before noticing Scooby didn't even look in their direction or change faces. "He's acting like he's in a trance."

Scooby finished going across the wire.

"He did it!" Shaggy states

When Scooby went halfway across the wire, he suddenly did a few front flips and landed ion the wire again each time.

"Where'd he learn to do that??!?!???" Shaggy questions

"Come on, Shaggy, we gotta stop him before he gets hurt!" Velma states

The two ran over to a trampoline.

"Grab this trampoline and let's get it under Scooby!" Velma says

They soon got the trampoline in position and Velma grabbed a ladder.

"You stay here and try to catch him and i'll go up and try to help him." Velma says as she began climbing with Shaggy nodding. "I'm coming, Scooby-Doo!

Elsewhere in the big top, the ghost Mr. Mime started the process to snap Scooby out of his trance.

"The power of the Ghost Mr. Mime is great! It's time for that silly mutt to wake." The Ghost Mr. Mime says. "You shall not work in this circus!"

Then, Scooby shook his head, snapping back to his senses.

"RWhere am I??" Scooby questions, looking around

"Scooby, be careful!" Velma called out. "You're on the trapeze wire!"

"RWire???" Scooby questioned before seeing jsut how high up he was. "ROH NO!!!!"

Scooby yelped and whimpered as he held o for dear life onto the wire.

"Here's an umbrella to help with balance, catch!!" Velma says as she tossed him an umbrella

Scooby caught the umbrella.

"RThanks." Scooby says

Scooby then lost his grip, shooting down towards the ground. And very fast.

"Scooby, pop the chute!!!" Shaggy shouts

Scooby had a bit of a struggle but he managed to end up opening the umbrella anyways.

"Great!" Shaggy says with relief. "You got it made."

However, the umbrella ends up inverting, causing Scooby to once again begin a quick descent down towards the trampoline. Once he hit it, Shaggy got launched into the air, but he ended up knocking Velma off of the platform she was standing on.

When the two hit the trampoline, Scooby launched into the air again, snickering. Then, after many more bounces from both sides, Scooby ended up changing his trajectory with his launch.

"RUh oh!" Scooby yelped, crashing into a little wooden house

Scooby then began to get lifted up by a bunch of balloons he got tangled in.

"RHey! RI'm falling up!!!" Scooby shouts

Shaggy and Velma looked at each other, confused.

"He's falling up??" Shaggy questioned

Up on another stand, the Ghost Mr. Mime had some throw darts.

"All that goes up must come down!" The Ghost Mr. Mime says, cackling

The ghost then began throwing his darts adn starting to pop the balloons Scooby was tangled in.

"RThey're shooting at me!" Scooby comments as more balloons pop. "RELLLP!!!!!!"

"Shooting at ya??" Shaggy comments as he got up and ran to grab something. "I'll save you!!!"

Scooby's balloons were still being popped by the ghost, and eventually, they all got popped. However, the fall was lessened by a trampoline Velma and Shaggy grabbed.

"We saved you, Scooby!" Shaggy says

"Reah, thanks a lot.." Scooby mutters, falling to the ground

Elsewhere on the grounds, Fred and daphne were looking around.

"Where'd they go??" Fred questions. "And still not a sign of Scooby yet."

Daphne saw a shadow and questions, "What's that???"

The two both saw the ghost Mr. Mime walking by.

"That's the Ghost Mr. Mime!" Daphne says, seeing where the ghost is going. "he's heading into the costume tent!"

"Come on, we'll sneak up on him!" Fred says

As they went in, Fred and Daphne went two directions, Fred opening a trunk.

"I better check this giant steamer trunk." Fred comments

Suddenly, Fred got shoved into the trunk and it locked behind him.

"Freddy, what is it??!?" Daphne asks as she walks over to investigate the noise. "Freddy??? Where are you??"

Suddenly, a hand stuck out, spinning a gold coin which put Daphne itno a trance-like state.

"You will pay attention for a time, and soon your thoughts shall all be mine." The ghost says. "Watch the pretty coin of gold and you will do as you are told!"

Chapter 3​

Later, in the Big Top, after Scooby healed up, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby looked around.

"I wonder if that ghost Mr. Mime is still here in the big top." Velma says

"let's, like, give a look." Shaggy comments

As they walked around, Daphne, in a pink tutu and on a unicycle, suddenly rode by.

"What the???" Shaggy questioned

"That's Daphne, on a unicycle!" Velma states

"She can't even ride a bicycle!" Shaggy responds

Velma noticed that as Daphne rode up a rope, she was ina t rance.

"She's in a trance! Just like Scooby was!" Velma points out

"We gotta wake her up." Shaggy comments

"Reah! Reah! Reah! Reah!" Scooby comments

As Daphne continued riding around on the unicycle, Shaggy picked up a trombone and played it really loudly but to no avail. Then, Daphne began heading back their way.

"She's coming back! Now's our chance!" Velma says

"Give me a hand, Scooby!!" Shaggy says as he ran to grab something and the two came out with a stampede net. "We'll use the stampede net!!!"

When they got the net in position, all that was left was to wait.

"Hang on, here she comes!" Shaggy says

Howwever, Daphne simply began dragging the net along with her which launched shaggy into a french horn and Scooby into a drum and the two began blindly running around, eventually getting launched through the air as they screamed, getting un stuck.

"She's heading out of the big top! We mustn't lose her!!!" Velma says

The two got un stuck and Velma saw which tent Daphne went in.

"Shaggy! Scooby! Daphne went into the Pokemon tent!" Velma says. "Hurry, maybe we can catch her!"

"Pokemon tent?? Come on! Let's go!" Shaggy says as they headed for the tent

When they got to the tent, Daphne began riding in circles around the tent's area.

"Look at Daphne ride around in a circle without losing her balance!" Shaggy comments

"She could get hurt!" Velma says

"We have to wake her up before that happens!" Shaggy says

Scooby got an idea.

"RI'll do it!" Scooby says, running over to a Brionne that was in the tent and he frantically explained the situation to the Brionne. When he first tried to give a signal, the Brionne sprayed Scooby with Water Gun on accident.

"RNot me, her!" Scooby says, pointing at Daphne

Daphne then was in position.

"RNOW!!!!" Scooby signals

The Brionne then let out a powerful water gun attack.

"Ow! Hey! Stop it!!!" Daphne comments as she got off the unicycle

The Brionen finished using Water Gun.

"That woke her up." Shaggy says

"Would you mind telling me what i'm doing in this silly costume and why i'm all wet???" Daphne asks

"You were in a trance." Shaggy explains

"We had to wake you up." Velma says. "Where's Freddy?"

"We...we were in the costume tent and everything between then and now is a blank." Daphne answered

"Costume tent?? We better get over there and find him, like, fast." Shaggy says

They then all rushed ot the costume tent, Daphne got back into her normal clothes after drying off, adn they got Fred out of the trunk.

"this is really weird." Fred comments after they explained everything. "I was locked in a trunk and you were put in a trance. Don't you remember anything, Daphne?"

"I remember something about money." daphne says. "The rest is a blank. How'd he do it???"

Fred thought.

"The only way to answer that is to ask the Ghost Mr. Mime himself!" Fred responds

Scooby gulped a little.

"RUh oh!" Scooby comments

Later, the trap had been set up. And it was jsut a repurposed animal cage essentially.

"Now, here's the perfect trap." Fred says. "one of us gets the ghost Mr. Mime to chase them up into the cage and then our man ducks out the small door at the other end which is closed by releasing a rope and then we have him caged!"

"And who's the bait for this trap??" Shaggy questions

Fred smiled.

"The fastest runner, that's who. Scooby-Doo." Fred responds

Scooby sneered back and protests, "RNuh uh. RNuh uh!!"

"Anyone got a Scooby Snack?" Velma asks

"I think this calls for a bigger reward due to the level of trouble the ghost has beenc ausing us." Fred says. "Don't you, Daphne?"

"I sure do." Daphne says, pulling out a bowl of curry. "Here' sa bowl of some Super Duper Hero Curry."

Shaggy's mouth watered simply looking at the curry.

"Okay, Scooby?" Fred asks

Scooby thought before nodding.

"Hold it! You forgot i'm a track man. I can really run, and fast!" Shaggy states

"RI'm faster!" Scooby states

Fred then got an idea of how to get them both to go out.

"Why don't you both go and split the curry?" Fred bribes

The two gave it some thought before both nodding.

"RGood idea." Scooby says

"Okay by me." Shaggy added

Chapter 4​

Later, the two began slowly creeping around the circus, looking for teh ghost, then Shaggy had them stop dead in their tracks.

"Scoob, that's him!! That's the Ghost Mr. Mime!!!" Shaggy points out

As the ghost walked off, Shaggy got an idea.

"Let's surround him. I'll go this way and you go that way." Shaggy instructs

When the two went their different ways to corner the ghost, Shaggy came face to face with the revolving gold coin, falling into the same trance-like state as Scooby and Daphne.

"Watch the pretty coin of gold and you will do as you are told." the ghost spoke. "You are brave, and that's a fact. You will do the Pyroar tamer's act!"

When Scooby was looking around after losing sight of the ghost, his trail sniffing led him tpo a cage where he could hear the crack of whips and roars of a Pyroar.

"Back up there, Simba!! Roll over, Simba!!!!" Shaggy's voice shouts

"Raggy!!" Scooby comments

Scooby went to investigate the noises, confused when he saw Shaggy in a cage with a whip and chair. And in a nearby seat, the ghost Mr. Mime as he cackled.

"Very good, but now the ghost Mr. Mime strikes!" The ghost says, pulling out a whistle. "When I blow this whistle, you won't be a Pyroar tamer, you'll be a tasty snack for a hungry Pyroar!"

Scooby quickly took the whistle out of the ghost's hand with hsi tail and went to the cage.

"RAGGY!!!" Scooby shotus, not getting a response from Shaggy. "RAGGY!!!"

"Give me that whistle!!!!" The ghost snarls

"RQuick, Raggy! RWake up!!" Scooby says, launching a Thunderbolt attack

The Thunderbolt was enough to wake Shaggy out of his trance but not hurt him and he saw Scooby after dropping what he had.

"Hey, Scooby." Shaggy comments before hearing the Pyroar roars. "YIPE!!!!!"

"RHere, Raggy!!" Scooby shouts

Shaggy bolts out of the cage and Scooby slammed it shut as he took off as well, dropping the ghost's whistle.

"So they think they have escaped me???" The ghost scoffed, cackling

As Scooby adn Shaggy fled, the Ghost Mr. Mime flew through the air to pursue them.

"Man, he's after us!!" Shaggy yelped. "Back to the cage adn the hero curry!"

Shaggy and Scooby then ran into the cage.

"He's coming!!!" Shaggy shouts

The two ducked out the small door.

"Drop the door!!!" Shaggy shouts

Fred released the rope, dropping down the small door. Once the ghost flew into the cage, Daphne and Velma slammed the bigger door shut and everyone cheered over the catch.

"Way to go, gang!" Fred says. "Now we can unmask the ghost!"

However, another voice spoke and it was the ghost's!

"You fools will never capture the ghost Mr. Mime!!!" The ghost's voice spoke, getting everyone to look over as he cackled

"Don't tell me there are two of them!!" Shaggy commented

When they turned back to the cage, that ghost was nowhere to be seen!

"Look! The one in the cage is gone!" Velma exclaimed

"I can't...I can't believe it! I would've bet money we had him!" Fred says

Shaggy then had an idea.

"Money? hey, that's it! A gold coin!" Shaggy says. "I got an idea about this ghost, Scooby, and we're going out again!"

Scooby facepalmed and mutters, "RNot again...."

When they went out and walked around the big top, whistling, the ghost stepped out from behind a pole, cackling with his coin in his hand.

"Watch the pretty coin of gold and you both shall do as you are told!" The ghost said, rotating the coin on teh string

"Now, Scooby!" Shaggy signals

The two pulling out some mirrors put the ghost into a trance as it was saying the phrases for the trance.

"You both have fur, you both are limp. You swing from trees like a happy chimp." The ghost says. "Watch the pretty coin of gold, be Mankeys, as you are told!"

Suddenly, the ghost then began acting like a Mankey, Shaggy's plan having worked. Later, they'd walk out of the big top while bribing the ghost out with some Nanab berries hanging off of Scooby's tail.

"Look what Shaggy adn Scooby brought in." Fred says, noticing the ghost

"They got him!" Velma says. "But...what's going on?"

"Like, simple." Shaggy responds. "He hypnotized himself."

Later, they put the ghost in the cage, called up Mr. Barnstorm, snapped the ghost out of his trance, and unmasked the ghost to be.......

"I know that man, he's Harry the Hypnotist!" Barnstorm says. "He had an act with us but we caught him stealing and sent him to prison."

"Looks like he wanted to get revenge." Velma says

"As a Ghost Mr. Mime, he knew he could ruin your circus." Daphne adds

"he sure had us fooled with a balloon copy of the Ghost Mr. Mime." Fred says. "You see, he inflated it with a gas cartridge and it'd disappear when he'd deflate it."

"Well, that was great work, kids." Fred says. "Thanks to you, my circus will be able to open this year after all."

Later that week, the gang had front row seats to the circus's main show.

"Shaggy and Scooby sure were mysterious about this big surprise they had for us." Fred states

"I sure hope Scooby doesn't try that high wire act again." Daphne states

Then, Mr. Barnstorm stepped out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the Hercules among strongmen, the man with muscles of steel, Samson the Super!!!!" Barnstorm spoke over the PA

Then, the lights moved over where Samson was, prepping to lift a dumbbell.

"If he can lift that up, he's the real deal." Velma says

Samson picked up the dumbbell and after a bit fo struggling, he managed to get it up in the air, everyone giving their applause. Then, the two sides popped open adn Scooby and Shaggy poked their faces out waving to the crowd and bowing.

"What an act, it's great!" Velma says

"What a pair of hams!" Fred comments, talking about Scooby adn Shaggy. "They're a riot!"

EPISODE 11: "A Gaggle Of Galloping Ghosts"​

On their way to Franken Castle which is located in the Eastern area of the Unova region, the kids stop to get their fortunes told by a gypsy fortune teller, who warns them they will meet their doom if they go to the castle. They soon are greeted by Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, and a were-Lucario on the castle grounds who warn them away.

Chapter 1​

On a late evening somewhere in Kalos, in the grounds of a castle, a beastly almost were-like Lucario was watching the area, snarling and growling, especially when it saw the Mystery Machine approaching.

Down in the Mystery Machine, the gang saw the castle finally.

"hey, there it is, gang! Franken Castle." Fred says. "The only castle so far ever to be transported stone by stone from Transylvania."

"I can hardly wait to see inside it!" Velma says

Daphne shook a little.

"I can wait." Daphne comments. "Remember those stories about were-Lucarios living in Transylvania??"

"Were-Lucarios?!?!??!?!???" Shaggy and Scooby questioned, Scooby gulping

Shaggy then spotted a gypsie wagon

"Look! A gypsy wagon!" Shaggy points out

"'Fortunes told'." Daphne read off of the drape on the wagon. "Oh, let's stop!"

Fred came to a stop.

"Daphne, fortune telling is all a bunch of nonsense." Velma says

"Come on, let's go in." Shaggy says. "You'd want your fortune told, wouldn't ya, Scooby?"

"Reah! Reah!" Scooby responds

Scooby even nodded.

"Okay, it might be fun." Fred responds as they got out

Then, they went into the wagon and sat around the table and at the far end was the gypsy fortune teller with her crystal ball.

"So, you want your fortunes told? Well, gather around, my pretties, and we'll peer into the crystal ball." The gypsy says. "Spirits rise and spirits fall, reveal your secrets! Tell us all!"

The gypsy then was able to tell what the crystal ball was saying.

"Ah, yes, you children are on a pleasure trip." The gypsy states. "But what's this??? I see great danger as long as you stay in these mountains."

"What kind of danger?" Daphne asks

"Evil forces from the world of the dead!" The gypsy states

Scooby gulped and says, "RWere-Lucarios!!"

Scooby then ducked and cowered under the table.

"There are no were-Lucarios, Scooby! You get back here!" Shaggy comments

Velma fixed her glasses.

"What does your crystal ball say about Franken Castle?" Velma asks. "That's where we're going."

"Not the castle!!" The gypsy comments. "The caretaker ran away in fear today. I warn you, you will meet your doom if you go there!"

When the gang left, they resumed their trip to the castle.

"Maybe we shouldn't go to the castle, what if she's right???" Daphne questions

Velma sighed.

"Yeah, they say those were-Lucario cats come out tonight. Like, when the moon is full!" Shaggy says

"Nonsense." Velma says. "We can't let a superstitious old gypsy scare us off."

Then, they'd reach the castle and the drawbridge was up.

"Hello?????" Fred called out. "Is anybody home???????"

"The gypsy did say the caretaker got scared away." Daphne states

"What a pad for ghosts!" Shaggy comments. "Well, we can't get in. Let's go home."

Them, there was a thunder clap.

"Wait a minute!" Fred says. "Let's get out and look around first."

They looked as there was a bright flash of lightning and there wasn't a single cloud.

"Look at that! And there's not a cloud in the sky!" Daphne says

Then, the drawbridge lowered as everyone got out.

"Looks like the caretaker came back." Fred says as they stepped onto the drawbridge. "Coem on, let's cross!"

"See? Everything's alright." Velma says

About halfway across, they spotted a vampire stepping out into the main doorway.

"Stop! You are not welcome in the castle!" The vampire spoke. "Go now or abandon all hope of seeing the sun again!"

"You stop that!" Velma says, almost sounding like a mother of sorts. "We have permission to visit the castle."

"Go! this is your last warning!!" The vampire snarled

Then, with everyone watching, the vampire seemingly turned into a Zubat.

"A VAMPIRE ZUBAT!!!" Shaggy yelped

Then, they could feel the bridge lifting up.

"The bridge is going up!!" Fred exclaimed as they ran back towards the van. "Everybody jump!!!"

However, Daphne couldn't get to the edge fo the drawbridge in time.

"Daphne didn't make it!" Fred exclaims

"Can you find a way to get me back across??" Daphne asks

Suddenly, Daphne lost her grip and landed on the other side and out stepped none other than Frankenstein's monster!

"Zoinks!!! Look at that creep!!" Shaggy yelped

"He's after Daphne!" Fred adds

"RUN, DAPHNE!!! RUN!!!" Velma shouts

Daphne got up and says, "Don't worry, i'm running!"

Daphne was running as fast as she could, but the monster was running after her. Fred then pulled out a rope.

"Shaggy, we've got to get across that moat!" Fred says. "I'll lasso that one statue over the door, and you and Scooby can swing over and lower the drawbridge!

"We can??" Shaggy questioned

Fred began spinning the rope after getting a lasso set up.

"You've got to do it to save Daphne!" Velma responds

"Okay, let it go!!" Shaggy signaled

Fred tossed the rope and the lasso landed right where it was supposed to.

"RScooby-Doo!!" Scooby cheered

Shaggy grabbed the rope and Scooby grabbed onto Shaggy's back.

"Hang on, Scooby!!" Shaggy says as he jumped to swing

Scooby noticed there was a very real and very angry Feraligatr.

"RFeraligatr!!" Scooby yelped

The Feraligatr tried to snap it's jaw on them but it missed by quite a bit.

"Haha! You missed me!!" Shaggy states

The two then landed right on the raised up drawbridge and slid down.

"They made it!" Fred exclaims

Scooby and Shaggy found the wheel meant to control the bridge not long after fully landing.

"You stand guard while I figure out how to lower the drawbridge." Shaggy orders

"RYessir!" Scooby responds before hearing some snarls and growls. "RWhat's that/?"

Scooby looked around and suddenly, the were-Lucario showed up, sending Scooby running in a panic. Shaggy then discovered what was keeping the wheel in place.

"I get it! You have to pull out this locking bar." Shaggy comments as he puleld the bar out

However, the Lucario shoved it back into place.

"Hey, stop that clowning around, Scooby." Shaggy says before seeing what really did it. "A were-Lucario???" he qustioned, handing the bar to the beast. "hold this."

Shaggy then took off, fearing for his life.

"SCOOBY-DOO, WHERE ARE YOOOOOOUUUU!!?!?!?????" Shaggy called out as he ran

The were-Lucario wasn't too far behind Shaggy. Then, suddenly, the were-Lucario got tripped by a suit of armor which took it's helmet off revealing Scooby.

"RScooby-Dooby-Doo!!!" cheered Scooby

Scooby then ditched the armor and followed Shaggy to elsewhere in he castle. The two then found themselves in a room with multiple suits of armor, a piano, and a window ledge Shaggy could easily jump to.

"We gotta hide!" Shaggy says. "I'll hide up on that window ledge, and you hop in the piano!"

"RGotcha." Scooby says, nodding

The two then quickly got into their hiding spots right before the were-Lucario got into the room..

Shaggy poked hsi head out and says, "Time for a little ventriloquism!"

Shaggy cleared his throat.

"Where ya going, fuzzyface??!??" Shaggy's thrown voice tautns from a suit of armor

The were-Lucario busted the armor, confused.

"You must be the big bad Lucario!!" Shaggy's voice taunts from another suit

Then, the Lucario just picked up that suit of armor and hurled it right at the piano, wrecking it. Scooby peeked out and looked at the busted keys.

"RWow." Scooby comments. "RIvory piano keys??"

Scooby then got up and snarled and growled with some of the keys in hsi mouth, making the Lucario back up

"Good boy, Scooby! Just back him up a little more!" Shaggy says. "NOW!"

Shaggy released a chandelier which dropped right down onto the Lucario

"Perfect! That's jsut how I planned it!" Shaggy comments. "Now please get me down!"

Scooby went and got a small couch adn positioned it under Shaggy.

"RJump!" Scooby signasl

Shaggy then let go adn fell right onto the couch, and the Lucario was struggling, trying to get loose from the chandelier.

"Hurry, he's trying to get loose!!" Shaggy yelped

As the Lucario continued struggling, Scooby and Shaggy took off, running as fast as they could to get away.

Chapter 2​

As Fred and Velma managed to get into the castle, they walked around, not finding a single sign to where any of the others are.

""I wonder where Shaggy and Scooby are." Velma says

"I don't know." Fred says. "But let's check out the room up ahead."

When they got into the said room, it looked like some sort of dining room. And the fire place was lit.

"Look at that fire." Fred says. "Maybe we're expected for dinner."

"Fine, as long as we're not the dinner." Velma responds before seeing a figure on a balcony covered in shadow. "hey, who's that???"

The figure stepped forward as he laughed, and it was the vampire!

"So you did not heed my warning. Now your spirits will dwell here in this house.....FOREVER!!!!!" The vampire stated

The vampire then once again seemed to turn into a Zubat.

"Duck, Velma!!!" Fred shouts

The two ducked and as Velma crawled around, her glasses got knocked off of her face.

"My glasses! I can't see without them!" Velma exclaims, feeling around for her glasses. "They should be around here somewhere."

As Velma crawled around, feeling for her glasses, a secret door in the wall opened up, Velma crawled inside, and the door shut behind her. Then, Fred got up and looked around.

"Velma?? Velma, are you alright????" Fred asks, looking around. "She's gone!! But where????"

Elsewhere in the castle, Shaggy and Scooby poked their heads out of an old and unplugged stove.

"I think we gave old fuzzyface the slip!" Shaggy says. "How about a snack? You check the refridge."

Scooby nodded.

"There should be something pretty good around here!" Shaggy comments

When Scooby looekd at what was in the fridge, he was confused.

"Raggy! RCome here!" Scooby says

Shaggy walked over and asks, "What is it?"

"RLook. Scooby says

Shaggy looked at what was in the fridge.

"Wow, Pickled Vampire Wings? Yuck!" Shagg comments. "Were-Pokemon snacks??? Fired Moonbeams?? Double yuck yuck"

The two slammed the door to the fridge shut.

"What a menu." Shaggy comments with a bit of disgust

Scooby full on gaged a little.

"You look in the pantry and i'll look into those canisters on the shelf." Shaggy says

Scooby walked over to the pantry as Shaggy got a ladder to check what was on the shelf.

Scooby looked into the pantry and calls out, "RHello???"

Shaggy rolled his eyes.

"Open the door." Shaggy comments. "After all, what could possibly be in the pantry????"

Scooby slowly opened the pantry and his eyes widened and jaw dropped what was there. It was Frankenstein's monster!

"RA BIG ONE!!!" Scooby yelped as he took off running

Scooby's panicked runnign knocked over Shaggy's ladder, spilled the flour Shaggy had onto the monster, making it come to a stop to try to clean it's eyes out and Shaggy landed on a hook.

"RW-W-W-W-W-White ghost!!! RELP!!!" Scooby cried out, trying to open a door before Shaggy scooped him up. "RHE GOT ME!!!"

"It's only me, Scooby." Shaggy comments

The two jumped off the hook and slid down a slide on the other side of a hatch which shut behind the two. Meanwhile, Velma was blindly walking around the lower levels of the castle.

"Daphne, Freddy, where are you?????" Velma calls out, trying to figure out where she was still

She ended up walking right into a torture chamber, but she didn't realize what it was.

"This has to be some sort of entertainment room, there's a bunch of interesting toys." Velma comments before hearing a loud thud. "Someone's coming!"

Velma ran and tripped right into an old barrel. Meanwhile, Scooby and Shaggy slid right out of another hatch and landed in the chamber.

"Hey, it's an old torture chamber!" Shaggy comments. "Come on."

As they walked around, Scooby sniffed around.

"Whatya smell?" Shaggy asks

"RNanab berry" Scooby states, licking his lips

"That's impossible." Shaggy responds. "There can't be any Nanab berries down here."

Scooby's scent following led him to the barrel and suddenly, a Nanab berry flew out which he caught with his mouth and ate with ease.

"RSee?" Scooby comments. "RNanab berry"

"I,.,I don't believe it!" Shaggy comments. "Who did that??"

Velma stood up, revealing she was the one who had done it.

"I did. I'm sure glad you two showed up." Velma states. "Shaggy, have you got my extra glasses?"

"Yeah, here they are." Shaggy says, handing Velma a spare pair of glasses

Velma nodded and put them on.

"That's better." Velma comments, seeing where she really was. "How did I get in this horrible room??"

"I don't know, but-" Shaggy starts

"Help!!! Help me!!!" A voice called out

The three all looked around.

"RWho's that???" Scooby questioned

"It sounded like Daphne." Velma says. "Come on!"

The three ran over to the barred hatch and looked through to the dungeon below.

"It is Daphne, down in that dungeon!" Velma states

"What happened?" Shaggy asks

"Some weird man chased me into this room and locked the door!" Daphne explains

Behind them all, what they didn't notice was that a sarcophagus opened up and towards them slowly so that it wouldn't be heard, stepped the vampire.

"We'll get you out, Daph!" Shaggy comments

Chapter 3​

They had opened the hatch and pulled out a rope and lowered it down.

"Grab this rope, Daph!" Shaggy called out

Daphne got a good grip on the rope and shouts, "I have it!"

Scooby looked back and noticed the vampire, growling. He used his claw to cut the rope adn ran and started tieing the rope around the vampire's legs.

"Stop that, you mutt!!" The vampire demands

"huh??" Shaggy comments, him and Velma looking back as Daphne climbed up the rope. "Get him, Scooby!!"

Scooby got the rope around the vampire's legs enough to cause him to fall over.

"Stop I say!!!" The vampire demands. "Stop it, you silly mutt!!"

Eventually, Daphne fully climbed out.

"Are you alright, Daphne?" Shaggy asks

"I'm okay." Daphne responds

Shaggy looked at Scooby and says, "Come on, Scooby, let's get out of here!"

Scooby was pulling the vampire closer and closer to the hatch.

"Attaboy, Scooby!" Shaggy comments

"You'll pay for this!!!!" The vampire shouts before falling down into the dungeon Daphne just got out of. "You haven't escaped me yet!!!!"

"Speaking of escaping, let's get out of here!" Shaggy commented

"RScooby-Doo!!" Scooby cheered

The four then took off running, heading down a hidden passage. After they stopped running and were walking, the tunnel was really dark.

"Man, it is, like, dark in this tunnel." Shaggy comments

"I can hardly see even with my glasses." Velma says. "Now everyone stay close together. It's getting darker."

When it was basically pitch black, Daphne saw a crack of light down the tunnel.

"Isn't that a crack of light up ahead?" Daphne asks

Velma spotted it as well and says, "yes it is!"

They would open the door to the room the light came from.

"Shaggy, you better lead from now on." Velma says. "Shaggy??? Scooby??"

Daphne looked around.

"They were right behind me, but now they're gone!" Daphne points out

Fred climbs down a ladder into the room and said, "Hey, girls!"

"It's Freddy!" Daphne said with some relief

"I'm glad i found you." Fred says. "What have you found out?"

"We found Daphne in a dungeon." Velma responds

"And I think I found a clue." Daphne added, reaching into her bag

Fred rose an eyebrow curiously.

"A clue? What is it?" Fred asks

Daphne pulls out a paper and says, "I wrote down a message written on the dungeon wall in 1668. It says, 'I have fooled them all. I may perish, but i'll be as rich as King Tut'."

Velma thought before realizing something.

"King Tut was an Egyptian." Velma comments. "They kept their weatlh after death by having it buried with them."

"Then this calls for a visit to the Franken crypt." Fred says. But first we have to find Scooby and Shaggy."

Elsewhere in the castle, Scooby and Shaggy were crawling around in a hidden passage before coming out into a room located somewhere deep within the castle.

"Man! Like, wow! It's a mad scientist's rumpus room!" Shaggy comments

They looekd around and saw on one of the tables was clearly someone or something under as heet.

"Look at that corner, ol squarehead's taking a nap on that table." Shaggy says. "Let's get him!"

Shaggy and Scooby walked over.

"You jerk the sheet off, and i'll blast him with this!" Shaggy says, picking up a water hose> "Then, he'll be one soggy ghost!"

Scooby got into position as Shaggy got the hose ready.

"One...two...three...go!!" Shaggy comments as Scooby jerked the sheet off and Shaggy turns the hose on. "Take that, ghost!"

However, what was under the sheet was jsut a bit of metal framing causing the water to hit Scooby in the face.

"Sorry about the free bath, Scoob!" Shaggy comments, strugglign to turn the hose off

After a bit of effort, he managed to get the hose off finally. Then, after some more goofing around, the two did a bit of joking around, Scooby acting like a monster. And a damn good one, too.

"You make a good monster!" Shaggy comments. "And I make a grreat mad doctor. Come on, i'll operate."

Scooby waltzed over to the needed table and lays down.

"Now...." Shaggy comments, Scooby closing down some latches that locked him to the table

The two heard some growling from the table in the corner and the sheet was back on that table.

"Scooby, did you put the sheet back on that table?" Shaggy asks

Scooby shook his head and answers, "RNot me."

Then, Frankenstein's monster rose up from under the sheet.

"IT'S THE REAL THING!!!!!!" Shaggy yelped

Shaggy took off running.

"RHey, Raggy!! Raggy!!!!" Scooby called out

As Shaggy continued running, he looked back.

"I forgot Scooby!!" Shaggy yelped

The monster gave the table Scooby was on a big shove which scooped up Shaggy. Then, the monster began pursuing the two, and as the table continued rolling, Shaggy was working on unlocking the latches keeping Scooby down.

Chapter 4​

The table Scooby and Shaggy were on shot through a door, which Scooby [pulled shut with his tail, causing the monster to run face first into it.

"You did it, Scooby!" Shaggy comments. "Now, pull the sheet out from under us."

The two moved just enough to get the sheet off of the table.

"Okay, pop the chute!!" Shaggy orders

The two held the sheet in the air and the table came to a stop right at the top of some stiars.

"Just in time!" Shaggy comments as the others got there. "Man, what a ride."

"Shaggy, what do you mean riding that cart around for the fun of it??" Velma questions

"Well, since you got yourselves lost, it seemed like a good idea." Shaggy responds

After the two got off of the Fred tried to put some things together but there was one problem. They only had one clue.

"This clue of Daphne's is the only one we have." Fred states. "So we'll go down to the Franken family crypt."

"What's a crypt?" Shaggy asks, raising his eyebrow

"A crypt is a tomb where you bury people." Velma answers

Scooby yelped a litle and hid under a sheet, shaking.

"Come out from under that sheet!" Shaggy ordered

"RI'm sick!!" SScooby responds, not wanting to go at all

Shaggy olled his eyes.

"Okay, Scooby, we'll leave you but i'd hate to be here alone if those three creeps show up." Shaggy comments

That's what got Scooby to get up and follow them down to the crypt. However, they didn't seem to find anything when reaching the crypt.

"We searched the whole place and no sign of a clue." Fred comments

Daphne looekd at the various stone coffins before finding one in specific.

"The date carved on this one is the same as the clue." Daphne comments. "1668!"

Fred tried to shove it open but no avail.

"Shaggy, this stone lid rolls back." Fred says. "Give me a hand!"

The two both gave the stone lid a good shove, and Scooby gulped at what was in the coffin. It was the vampire!

"Who dares disturb my sleep???" The vampire questioned

"EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF!!!!!" Shaggy yelped

Everyone took off running, Scooby and Shaggy hiding behind some tapestry, but Fred and the girls running down one of the crypt's passages, and the vampires chasing after Fred and the girls. Scooby and Shaggy both peeked out from behind the tapestry.

"We fooled him, Scooby." Shaggy says. "If only we could set a trap for that ghoulish ghost."

"Daphne, this way!!!" Velma was heard shouting

"back to the crypt!" Fred adds

Shaggy looked over.

"Hey, they're coming back!" Shaggy comments, hearing Scooby growling. "What you doing?"

Shaggy looked over and saw Scooby was tugging on the tapestry.

"Use the tapestry for a trap?" Shaggy questioned. "Good idea!"

The two took the tapestry off of the wall and got into position. Fred and the girls would soon after run by.

"Now, Scooby!" Shaggy signals

Scooby took his end of the tapestry and pulled it in front of the passage only for the vampire's head to burst through the tapestry, causing a piece to fall to the floor but the vampire just kept running.

"It...It didn't stop him!" Shaggy comments

The vampire simply hops back into the coffin that he was found in and it slammed shut.

"Come on, we got him trapped!!" Fred says as they ran to the coffin. "Okay, heave!"

They all gave it a shove but the vampire and the tapestry was nowhere to be seen!

"It's empty!" Velma exclaims

Daphne looked into he coffin and noticed something shiny at the bottom.

"What are those shiny things?" Daphne asks

Fred looked in with a flashlight to get a better look.

"A ruby, a diamond, and a gold earring." Fred says, picking up the earing. "I've seen this before."

Scooby picked up a piece of tapestry and handed it to Shaggy.

"Look what Scooby found!" Shaggy says. "Some pearls are sewn into this piece of tapestry."

Velma thought for a second before coming to a realization.

"That's what Daphne's clue meant!" Velma says. "The Franken jewels were sewn into the tapestry."

"But the ghost took it away." Daphne points out

Fred then remembered where he'd seen the earring before.

"But he left us this second clue. This earring resembles the one the gypsy fortune teller was wearing." Fred says. "I think we better pay her another visit."

They would then do so, heading to the gypsy's wagon.

"I'm surprised to see you again, my pretties." The gypsy says. "Did you enjoy your visit to the castle?"

"We might ask YOU the same thing." Fred states

Scooby snuck to behind the gypsy's seat.

"Me/?? I've never been to the castle." The gypsy responds

However, the gang wasn't buying this. And their thoughts were further put into place when Scooby stepped back with the tapestry iin his mouth.

"Look!" Shaggy comments. "Scooby's got the tapestry!"

The gypsy turned around.

"Give me that, you mutt!!!" The gypsy snarled in a much more male voice, indicating even this gypsy disguise was fake

The gypsy yanked the tapestry out of of Scooby's mouth and took off running.

"Get him, Scooby!" Velma says

Scooby chased after the gypsy, grabbing the tapestry which made the 'gypsy' fall to the ground. And then, the rest of the gang would come out, running over.

"Good work, Scooby!" Shaggy comments

Not long after that, an Officer Jenney and her Herdier arrived in a police car.

"A police car." Velma says with some relief

"The caretaker from the castle came by and reported there was some trouble up here." Officer Jenny says. "Who's this on the ground?"

The 'gypsy' pulled off his mask, revealing he was....

"Why, it's straight up Big Bob Oakley, alias 'the Actor'." Officer Jenny comments. "He's a master of disguises, and wanted in seven cities."

"That explains a lot." Fred says. "He's been haunting the castle to scare people away."

"He was after the Franken jewels which were woven into the tapestry." Daphne adds

"Yes, and i'd have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for these blasted kids and their Pokemon." Oakley snarled

"You kids deserve a big thanks." Officer Jenny says. "I'll take Oakley adn the jewel tapestry into custody."

Later, after Oakley was taken away, the gang were having a picnic.

"I still don't know how Oakley pulled that trick with the Zubat." Velma says

Shaggy finished prepping up his sandwich as he says, "Yeah, we forgot to ask about that."

Daphne was about to take a bite from her small bowl of curry when suddenly, she heard some screeching and looked around.

"There it is!! The vampire Zubat!!" Daphne exclaims

Everyone ducked down and right after the Zubat shot by, it hit a tree and Fred found out it was just a stuffed dummy.

"It's only a stuffed Zubat on a wire, you guys." Fred points out

Scooby then slid down the wire on a hook, taking a big bite out of Shaggy's sandwich before hitting the tree as well.

"Scooby, I always knew you were a little batty!!!" Shaggy shotus when looking over

Scooby licked his lips and snickered.

"RScooby-Dooby-Doo!!!" Scooby cheered, smiling
