Name
Captain Strong was impressed by Ness's ability to read the Onett Police Manual, considering his age, saying "You read pretty well for someone so young, what’s your name, “Read Young”?"
Synopsis
The episode begins with Ness leaving the Onett caves as a police officer stops him and scolds him for not obeying the "Do Not Enter" sign at the entrance of the shack. After a failed attempt of getting himself out of trouble, Ness is told to go to the Police station later today. Once at the station, Ness meets with the Chief, Captain Strong. Strong orders him to fight 5 of his officers and then, after Ness succeeds, challenges Ness himself. After being defeated, he offers Ness the rights to go to Twoson, claiming he knew Ness wanted to go there. Ness, oblivious at the time, denies the fact. After realizing that Ness hadn't had the dream yet, he quickly tries to change the topic and calls the officers guarding the road to Twoson.
Before leaving Onett, Ness goes home to ask his mother to cover for him in case his teacher were to ask his whereabouts. He then proceeds to have one last meal and go to sleep before heading out. During the night, he receives a telepathic call from a girl named Paula, pleading for his help. Ness wakes up in shock and get up to get some water and food to recover.
At the end, the narrator starts his closing comment but then Benjamin gets out of character, asking why he should make a recap of something the audience already heard a few minutes ago and ends the episode.
Earthbound References
- When Strong tells Ness that Ness wanted to go to Twoson, Ness denies it. This is because in the game, you can fight the police officers while claiming you want to go to Twoson without even having Paula's call prior of doing that.
Cultural References
- "Read Young" = Reid Young, also known as Reidman.
