There was no escape in sight. As far as anyone could tell, they were all stuck here on this mysterious floating island for the time being, and they would have to make do with what they could find. You'd think they would be well off in an AWESOME MANSION, except that the mansion is... a little worse for wear. Okay, a LOT worse for wear. The place was a mess.

Flurrie would not stand for it.

A woman of her tastes and sensibilities would be all for living it up in a huge, fancy mansion, but certainly not one in this state. And so, she took some initiative. Early one morning, she found a megaphone and stood outside the front of the mansion, barking orders loudly to the other inhabitants.

"EVERYONE GET OUT HERE, PRONTO!!"

Once everybody was gathered (as gathered as they were able to at this time of day, anyway), she yelled a little less:

"All right, everyone! I think we've been lounging around long enough! This place is an absolute disaster, and I cannot abide it another minute. Today I proclaim that we're going to make this mansion spic and span! And we're not going to stop until it sparkles! Now who's with me~?"

[HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: Step 1: Pick a location. Step 2: CLEAN THAT SHIT. Step 3: Tag around and help clean the mansion YAAAY! OR, you can do none of the above and screw around the entire time! YAAAY?]

While Sonny took care of the baths, Rosalina took a mop to the tiled floors, cleaning off years of grime and residue. She smiled to him though, keeping her good humor even during something so undignified as this. "I've tried to raise them well," she commented. "And they've always made me a proud mother."

"I bet they have! High five, little guy!"

He gently, gently, super gently tapped his palm to the Luma's outstretched pointed paw. (Paw? hand? Point? Who knows.)

"And we need all the help we can get, really. I don't like the look or smell of the gunk in the deeper part of the bath! It's really familiar, but I can't quite place it."

It had been a while since he'd encountered anything that smelled like it before. He was a real whizz when it came to remembering food smells. Goopy gunky gross gunge? Not so much.

"Best to clean it out quickly, then," Rosalina said. "It obviously should not be here..."

A Luma decided to help out, squeaking and floating towards the mass of grunge. Even the star creature seemed offended by the smell, but it was determined to help its mama. It poked at the sludge...

...and then bolted away, squeaking in fear as it started to move.

"What in the heavens...?"

"....oh so that's what that smell is."

He jumped down into the bath, landing between the Luma and the moving slime.

"Stay behind me." he cautioned. "This is a kind of Pokémon which can be dangerous if you aren't careful."

The creature - for that's truly what it was - reared up and opened its watery eyes. A Muk of unusual size. It belched a cloud of venomous stink and bubbled away like a cauldron.

....it was not a friendly creature.

Rosalina waved her hand, causing her wand to appear out of thin air. She was prepared to defend herself, but Sonny insisted on getting between her and the creature. "A Pokemon... What sort of creature is this?"

She stood at the ready, ushering the Lumas behind her to safety. Polari hovered at her side, ready to aid her defense of his siblings. "It seems to mean us harm."
