Even more distracting was the sudden appearance of a scantilly-clad assistant with a "Y" on her forehead and a small stage just across the street. "Ladies and gentlemen!" the assistant called out. "Behold the mystifying street magic of the mysterious Performing Pea, the shiny Unown!" "Uno!" Pea called out happily. "And I'm his assistant, WYnowna!" the assistant added. "What the Hell is this?" Trent and Aerie demanded. "For our first trick, we'll need a volunteer from the audience!" WYnowna announced, grabbing Yolei and Lynkeru and putting them on stage. Pea then proceeded to telekinetically move three trash cans and place them upside down on stage, with one covering Lynkeru and Yolei. "We have never met before, correct? Don't say anything, the confused expression on your faces is answer enough! Now watch as these two are magically transported across the stage!" Pea tapped on the trash can they were under twice and lifted it to reveal that it was now empty. It then floated over to the trash can on the other side of the stage, tapped it twice and lifted it up to reveal Yolei and Lynkeru. Impressed bystanders began to applaud. "But that's not all!" WYnowna announced. "Watch this!" The three cans were placed over Yolei, Lynkeru, and WYnowna. Pea tapped each on in turn, ending with the center one. It then lifted it up, revealing all three in under the central can. "Tada!" WYnowna cheered as the audience applauded yet again. "But you ain't seen nothing yet, folks!" Pea proceded to stack two trash cans on top of each other. On top of that, it placed Lynkeru and Yolei and put a trash can over them. Pea then stomped the trash can down and lifted the entire stack to reveal the duo at the very bottom. The audience was very impressed. "Palor tricks," Carol heckled, aiming her gun again. "This shows just a bunch of crap. It's time to end this." "I agree!" WYnowna said, popping up next to Carol, grabbing the gun, dumping the ammo cartridge out, and handing it back. "It's time for the grand finale! A death-defying stunt, other than that, that would give Hootdini pause!" WYnowna rushed back on stage before continuing, "Pea will not only risk his own life, but those of his beautiful assistants as well!" "You mean us!?" Yolei exclaimed. With a slight blush, she added, "You really think I'm beautiful?" "We will be locked in this trash can with a time bomb!" WYnowna continued. "Pea will have thirty seconds to free us before it is dumped into a shark tank and explodes!" "Uh, can we discuss this first?" Yolei asked. There wasn't time for discussion before the four of them were placed in a floating trash can. Chains and a time bomb spontaneously appeared around it before hopping into a dumpster the rolled up at that moment. A helicopter flew in from nowhere and lifted it up above a nearby shark tank by a cable. Thirty intense seconds later, the dumpster dropped into the shark tank with a splash. It then promptly exploded, ejecting the trash can high into the air. The can landed on its side and rolled around before coming to a stop. The lid popped off and a badly bruised Aerie, Carol, Trent, and Ashura tumbled out. The audience gave them a stand ovation, which was easy since they were standing in the first place. "I don't get it," Trent said, pulling himself to his feet. "What the Hell just happened?" "Sandslash," Ashura said. "Slash, sandslash sand. Sandslash, sandslash slash?" "Yeah, where *did* they go?" Aerie asked. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- Indi the fairy popped out from under Lynkeru's hat, sheding a little light on their current situation. It wasn't as crowed as one might think, considering that "WYnowna" was just an illusion created by Shiny Unown Why. "What's going on?" Lynkeru asked. "That bomb should've gone off by now." "Unown," Why stated. "Unown?" "Nown," Pea stated. "Well, that was enlightening," Yolei said. She lifted up the lid slighty to see what was outside. "Let's see if it's safe to... What the...!?" "What is it?" Lynkeru asked, peering outside the can. "Huh? Where the heck are we?"
