"Can you shut the music off?" asked Misty. "That's getting really annoying."
"Eh?" asked Ash, scratching his head. "Let's see."
"The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" was replaced by "Achy Breaky Heart."
"That's even worse," said Misty.
"Achy Breaky Heart" was quickly replaced by "The Cat Came Back" which was followed in turn by "It's A Small World After All" which was replaced by some nameless harp music.
"That'll have to do, I guess," said Misty.
"Eh, we don't have to stay in this room anyway," said Ash. "Now. Let's get to making a few bedrooms since I don't know how long we're going to be here."
"Can you make a bathroom while you're at it?" asked Misty.
"Oh, I suppose I should," agreed Ash, closing his eyes. "Bath, Japanese... done!"
POP! "Totodile dile dile!"
"Ash," said Misty as she watched the pokemon waddle off. "Check under 'toilet'?"
"Oh," said Ash. "Yeah, I guess that IS the wrong kind of bath. Toilet. Here we go. Comes in three categories. 'Toilet:Basic', 'Toilet: Recycling', and 'Toilet: Garderobe'?"
"Go with 'basic'," said Misty. "Fast."
"Got it," said Ash, pausing. "End of the hallway."
ZOOM!
Ash closed his eyes again, concentrating on the dungeon imagery in his head.
"WHY CAN'T I OPEN THE DOOR?"
"Huh," said Ash. "Maybe it's this bit about minions only using the basic? Hey, if I give you a gold coin, you should be able to use it!"
"Pay toilet?!" Misty came running back and then ran in place just thrusting a hand out.
Ash produced a gold coin from thin air, and put it in her hand. "I'm still going through the directions for use."
"No time," called out Misty as she dashed back down the hallway. "This is an emergency!"
"I guess so," said Ash, scratching his head and momentarily mourning that he'd lost another hat.
[Your Sandshrew have found Evolution Stone: Water]
"Wow! I'm gonna run out of money though if I keep making rooms," mused Ash. "Oh well. Worry about that later."
The farmer stopped as he noticed the rumbling noise from one part of his field. He experienced a moment of panic at the thought it might be a Keeper had moved into the area.
When the ground erupted, the farmer began praying to the gods of the Light.
After a few minutes, the farmer stopped as there was no obvious sign of corruption. Instead there was some hideously cute looking creature blinking up at him.
"Sandshrew?" asked the critter.
"Uhm, I don't think so," said the farmer.
"Sandshrew," said the critter, its body language seeming apologetic.
"That's okay," said the farmer. "Uhm. What are you?"
The critter held up one claw, then vanished underground again. A few moments later it popped up with a business card.
"PokeDungeon? Like a Dungeon Keeper? You're not anything like I expected," said the farmer. "I expected someone taller and more menacing."
Gneiss indicated himself with one claw and shook his head.
"Oh, well try not to mess up my fields, would you?" asked the farmer. "I just planted alfalfa."
Gneiss nodded his agreement and vanished into the hole again.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Misty?" asked Ash, running down the hallway. "What's wrong?"
