[Inside Atlus' Room...]
<Atlus is laying in his bed. A knock is heard at his door>
Atlus: Who is it?
Base Gastly: <Opens the door and walks in> It's me, I just wanted to make sure you're alright.
Atlus: I'm the same as I was 30 seconds ago.
Base Gastly: Well I wanted to make sure. <Pulls out a bottle of pills> Oh, you dropped these in the hall.
Atlus: <Looks at the bottle> I didn't drop any pills...
Base Gastly: Of course you did! <Places the bottle on Atlus' nightstand> If you're ever feeling depressed or something just take that whole bottle, okay? It'll make everything all better.
Atlus: O-kay...
Base Gastly: While I'm here, <Thrusts a piece of paper and a pen into Atlus' hands> would you mind signing this for me?
Atlus: What is it?
Base Gastly: Oh nothing! Nothing at all! Nothing you need to read. <Taps the paper> On the X please.
Atlus: <Quickly glances over the paper quickly> Why do you want to take out a life insurance policy on me?
Base Gastly: Uhh... <Grabs Atlus' hand and forces his signature then runs out of the room, slamming the door after him>
Atlus: That was really strange. Oh well. I think I'll listen to the radio. <Reaches over and turns the radio on>
Lugia: <Broadcasting through the radio> And now, a word from our sponsor. Have you recently failed to save someone's life?
Atlus: Yeah...
Lugia: Was she hot? Was she all about you?
Atlus: Yeah...
Lugia: Does this leave you with feelings of emptiness? Sadness? Depression?
Atlus: <Looks at the radio> You're speaking my language...
Lugia: If this describes you try our new Flaptones Sleeping Pills. A bottle a day sends the hurting away.
Atlus: <Stands up and turns the radio off, then walks to his desk and picks up the bottle> Just a bottle, huh?
[Outside Atlus' room...]
<Base Gastly and Lugia are standing around>
Base Gastly: Are you sure this is going to work?
Lugia: As sure as Sudowoodo and FTKs.
Base Gastly: ...
Lugia: What? That wasn't a good example?
Base Gastly: You'd better hope he takes them.
Lugia: Relax. <Pulls out a similar looking bottle> Here, take one.
Base Gastly: What is it?
Lugia: Flintstone vitamins. <Opens the bottle and takes a couple>
Base Gastly: <Swallows a couple then looks at the bottle> Lugia! Do you have your lenses in?!
Lugia: <Yawns> No, why?
Base Gastly: <Shoves the bottle in front of Lugia's face> Does Flintstone look the same as Flaptone?!
Lugia: Well...
Base Gastly: You idiot! <Picks up a bat with a nail in it> If I can't kill him I'm going to kill you instead!
Lugia: Now wait, yawn, a minute there...yawn, Base Gastly...
Base Gastly: I'm gonna...take you out...foolio... <Drops the bat>
<Base Gastly and Lugia collapse on top of each other, snoring loudly. Atlus opens the door, accidentally ripping it off its hinges>
Atlus: Oops. <Leans the door against the wall> Hey guys, I think those pills are defective. I don't feel the least bit sleepy. <Looks down> Guys?
[One Week Later...]
<The show is on the air. Base Gastly, Lugia, and Atlus are in their regular seats. Atlus is holding a huge trophy while Base Gastly stares at him angrily>
Atlus: ...and that's how I went on to win the Mr Universe competition which brought me out of my depression. All thanks to the overdose of vitamins you gave me. Thanks guys.
Lugia: It was our plea-
Base Gastly: Shutup.
Lugia: But-
Base Gastly: Shutup! You're stupid! We don't like you!
Atlus: Gee Base Gastly, you've been real touchy lately. What happened?
Base Gastly: Shutup.
Atlus: Are you just worried for my safety? I guess noone really wanted to kill me anyways so it's okay now.
Base Gastly: Shutup! Shutup! SHUTUP! <Hovers over Atlus' head> WWAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!
Atlus: <Whispers over to Lugia> What's his problem today?
Lugia: Um...I think it starts with a P.
Atlus: Followed by an M?
Lugia: And ending in an S.
Atlus: I gotcha.
Base Gastly: Post Murder Syndrome is NOT a problem! WWAAAHHHH!!! <Flies around Atlus' head for a few minutes then sits back down at his desk>
Atlus: You sure are strung out. Wanna touch my trophy?
Base Gastly: Your trophy?! <Grabs the trophy out of Atlus' hands> You mean this?! <Throws it out the window> That's what I think of your trophy! <Laughs hysterically>
Lugia: That's what you get when you try to kill your cohost.
Atlus: Wait a minute...
Lugia: <Slaps his forehead> Uh oh...
Atlus: Base Gastly tried to kill you?!
Lugia: Uhh...
Base Gastly: Yes! Yes! I tried to kill Lugia! I wasn't trying to kill you! The whole time I was trying to get Lugia! He's been a thorn in my side forever! <Cackles and rubs his hands together>
Lugia: That's right, he was trying to kill me.
Atlus: This...this is all too much for me to deal with. I think I need to go lay down. I feel faint. <Stands up and walks offstage to his dressing room>
Base Gastly: VWEE HEE HEE! <Piano music starts, Base Gastly sings> Oh me oh my! Atlus is going to die!
Lugia: But why?
Base Gastly: Who cares?! Who knows?! There'll be nothing left when my bomb blows! To the sky and to the moon! We'll be rid of Atlus soon!
Lugia: Will our ratings boon?
Base Gastly: Does it matter? Atlus will be dead!
Lugia: That doesn't rhyme.
Base Gastly: <Music stops abruptly> Shutup.
[Inside Atlus' Dressing Room...]
<Atlus is sitting at his makeup table, dialing on his phone, Underneath his chair is a gigantic wad of C4>
Atlus: Hello, mom?
Mom: <Over the phone> Atlus, honey! Is it Daylight Savings Time already?
Atlus: No, mom.
Mom: Did you want me to save some money for you?
Atlus: No.
Mom: Another girl broke your heart and you want to come move in with me again?
Atlus: No!
Mom: Then what is it?
Atlus: Base Gastly tried to kill Lugia.
Mom: Are you sure you don't want me to save any money for you?
Atlus: MOM!
[Outside Atlus' Dressing Room...]
<Base Gastly runs in carrying a remote with a big, red button. He has a crazed look on his face.>
Base Gastly: This is it! he show's over! No more games! I'm taking him out right now! No more chances! When I push this button Atlus is going sky high! MWA! MWA HA HA HA! <Whips out a sign saying "The Death of Atlus - Final Act"> That's right! Final Act! He's going down here and now! As soon as I push this button-
<The shadowed figure from earlier steps from the darkness, holding a Pokéball in his hand>
????: Hello gentlemen.
Base Gastly: Who are you?!
<The figure throws the Pokéball, capturing Base Gastly. The remote falls to the floor>
????: Ha ha ha.
<The figure teleports away>
