Transcript
(The episode begins with Madi and Heymondbeard walking up to Spud onto the beach.)

Madi: Ha, ha, ha! What a scavenger hunt!

Heymondbeard: Hey, hey, hey, yeah, and when I found that Wishing Piece, I couldn't believe my eyes! What did you find, Captain?

(Madi shows Heymondbeard a bottle cap for grape sode.)

Madi: A bottle cap.

Heymondbeard: Hey, that's just old.

Madi: But it's not ! It may be some priceless treasure.

Spud: Just show us what else you've got, you two!

(Madi shows Heymondbeard a sand dollar.)

(Heymondbeard shows Madi a literal sand dollar, as in a dollar made out of sand.)

Spud: By golly, I get the joke!

(Madi shows Heymondbeard a shell and puts it up to her ear.)

Madi: This shell makes a funny sound. Come listen for yourself.

(Madi puts the shell up to the viewer's ear, and the ocean is heard.)

Heymondbeard: Hey, my shell is lots better.

(Madi puts the shell down and looks at Heymondbeard, who has picked up a Shelmet.)

Shelmet: Shelmet! Shelmet, Shelmet!

Madi: Erm, your shell wants you to put it down.

(Heymondbeard sets Shelmet down. Afterward, Madi takes an old book out of her hat.)

Madi: Mmm, what's this.

(Madi looks at the book's cover.)

Madi: Scary Stories for Pokémon, by Spook E. Gastly.

Heymondbeard: Hey Madi, that probably isn't something you should be reading.

Madi: Why not? It looks good.

Spud: By golly, I thought you weren't all "Ha! Nothing scares Madi the Pirate! Ha-har, shiver my timbers!"

Madi: First of all, no, I'm not, Spud. Second of all, I'm quite a bookworm. Third of all, I've seen much worse, like a Talonflame eating a Wingull before.

(Madi opens the book and begins reading it.)

Heymondbeard: Hey, don't say we didn't warn you.

(Cut to a montage. Madi is seen reading the book in a tree, where two Aipom look over her shoulder and get scared by the book.)

(Cut to Madi reading the book in a cave.)

Madi: And then the spooky monster opened its mouth, wide enough to fit a whole cave!

(Several Noibat flee from the cave in fear.)

(Cut to Madi at Siltquake's pond, where Siltquake is shaking in fear.)

Siltquake: Great googly moogly! I'm scared!

Madi: Don't worry, it's not real!

(Cut to night time. Madi is finishing the book in her hammock.)

Madi: I finished it! Now to get some rest!

Spud: Oh, pshaw! By golly, you must've been so scared, that you skipped to the end of the book.

Madi: Me? Scared? Never! I read the whole thing in one sitting!

(Madi is shaking a little.)

Spud: Golly, I still think you got scared by the book.

Madi: It's just the jitters from eating too much ! Well, good night, everybody!

Heymondbeard: Good night, guys!

(Everyone goes to sleep.)

Spud: Golly, I just know she's scared by it.



(Cut to Madi deep in the jungle.)

Madi: Safari Trekker Madi is going on a big search, fearless looking for an elusive, legendary creature!

(Something roars in the distance.)

Madi: Who said that?

(A giant beast resembling towers over Madi.)

Beast: I am a scary beast!

Madi: You look like the monster from my book. Also, nothing scares Madi the Pirate! Ha-har, shiver my timbers!

Beast: I eat pirates for breakfast!

Madi: You eat pirates? (laughs sarcastically) I don't even taste that good!

(The beast grabs Madi by the tail.)

Beast: I'm being serious, little Luxio.

Madi: Oh dear. Don't eat me!

Beast: Too bad, Luxio. Down the hatch you go!

(The beast lets go of Madi and eats her.)

Madi: Help me!!

(Cut to Madi waking up and screaming.)

Madi: It's trying to eat me!

Heymondbeard: Madi! Madi!

(Madi is panicking and whimpering.)

Madi: This... scary monster...

Heymondbeard: Hey Madi, calm down. You were just having a nightmare.

(Madi cries.)

Madi: It tried to eat me!

(Heymondbeard scoops up Madi and repeatedly shushes her.)

Madi: You were right! This book was scary!

Heymondbeard: Hey Captain, how about you sleep with me tonight?

Madi: I guess.

(Heymondbeard carries Madi, who has fallen asleep, to his hammock.)

Heymondbeard: Good night, Madi.

Madi: I'll try not to be a burden again for the rest of the night. Also, can you scratch me ears?

(Heymondbeard scratches Madi's ears; Madi sighs in relief.)

(Fade to the next morning. Madi is sleeping on top of Heymondbeard, much to the latter's dismay.)
