## Plot

The episode opens with an orgin story that humans encountered a fatal disease that turned them into zombies. Plants were biologically mutated to protect humanity but despite their efforts humans still died out. The plants continued to mutate until they could move, talk, reproduce, eat and have the intelligence to rebuild society but the plants still fight the zombies. After the origin story sequence, it cuts to a title card saying “Lawnmagarden.

It cuts as Asher as he’s exiting the Volcano of Boney Island. He tell’s Fire Pea that he is leaving Boney Island as it is uninhabitable to him. Fire Pea says there’s a boat to the Backyard Battleground arriving in 30 minutes. Asher goes down to the beach to wait, he says goodbye to Fire Pea but Fire Pea’s Chompula follows Asher onto the boat which both of them are oblivious of.

Asher doesn’t notice Chompula until he reaches the Backyard. Asher does not have time to deal with or question Chompula as a Tour Guide shows up. The Tour Guide’s name is Tor Guyd because his parents REALLY wanted a Tour Guide for a son. Asher then wants to know what’s happening on the more spookier side of the backyard. Tor tell’s him that’s where the zombies live and to stay away. Before Asher get’s a chance to question him any further, he is immediately thrown onto Tor Guyd’s tour. After a small fight with a gang of Browncoats (which Asher brushes off as “weirdos”) and some slander of their buildings, Tor Guyd shows Asher around the Backyard Battleground such as the Inconvenience Mart and The Soccer Field. Tor Guyd tells Asher about the inflatable Peashooter and Chomper. Asher says that the Peashooter inflatable looked like him however Tor Guyd does not agree with this. Tor Guyd says that the Peashooter and Chomper went to “Boner Island” which Asher remarks he’s been to Boney Island not Boner Island believing Boner is a completely seperate region. Tor Guyd shows Asher Chomper Pizza (in a deleted scene) before showing him the L.E.A.F base and the secret underground lair which they are not allowed to enter. After this Tor Guyd goes home leaving Asher and Chompula on their own.

Asher continues to wonder about what could be on the zombie side. Asher says he’ll ask the other citizens about it the next day. He then tell’s Chompula to head back to Boney Island (which he does not do). The next day Asher visits the garage where he meets an Ice Pea engineer named Frostina. Asher asks her about the Zombie side of the Backyard. Frostina tell’s him to stay away from there too. Asher get’s mad at Frostina believing she is racist. That night Asher plans to sneak into Zomburbia. A Kernel Corn guard at the boarder stops him and tell’s him even more how dangerous the zombies are. Asher then breaks past him and the Guard attempts to shoot him. But Asher get’s away, taunting him all the way.

Meanwhile in Zomburbia, A scientist approaches Soldier No. 99 who is guarding the gate at the end of the street. This scientist is Dr. Morty, Dr. Zomboss’ right-hand man. He has a plan Project: Zombotany. This project will turn Plants into zombified plants. Dr. Morty instructs Soldier No. 99 to kidnap Asher who he saw enter Zomburbia. Dr. Morty leaves to return to Z-Tech, Asher then finds Soldier 99 at the gates, Soldier No. 99 shoots at Asher eventually knocking him unconscious with a stink cloud. Meanwhile Chompula is messing with some zombies (in a deleted scene) when he witnesses Asher being kidnapped.

Soldier No. 99 takes Asher back to Z-Tech and put’s him in a zombifying machine. Dr. Morty comes to congratulate Soldier No. 99 for successfully kidnapping Asher before inviting him to lunch leaving Asher unguarded. Asher comes to and is completely bewildered by his whereabouts. Asher destroys a computer that is operating the machine allowing him to escape. Asher begins to explore Z-Tech learning about the zombies and their history of wrongdoings. Meanwhile Chompula goes up into the mountains to see get Frostina’s help. Frostina reluctantly agrees to go save Asher.

Meanwhile Asher is pulling together his information and realising that the zombies are evil. Suddenly, he get’s caught by a Z-Mech which means Asher has to run, he hides behind a zombifier being used by Pulse (a character from Pvz: Show as they are in the same universe). The alarms are sounded and zombies are alerted. Soldier No. 99 eventually finds Asher and starts chasing and shooting at him. Asher, after a long chase, makes it back to the front of Z-Tech which Asher believes is the exit and that he’s gonna be free. Asher reaches the so-called exit only to find it is a dead-end and it is simply a lookout platform. Asher thinks he’s gonna die and apologises to the world for his stupidity. However Soldier No. 99 does not come. Asher goes back and finds he is dead.

Asher finds that Chompula was the one who killed him and finds out that it was Frostina who took him here. Frostina is mad at Asher and makes him promise to never try and go back to the zombie territory. Asher, Chompula and Frostina return to the Backyard Battleground, Frostina goes home while Asher tells Chompula about the things he saw in Z-Tech. Asher and Chompula agree that they must stop the zombies before they capture any more plants for their plan.
