Hello I got bored of writing my Inheritance story so I decided to start on this one. This is a story about Red. Enjoy.

Chapter 1: Decision

Red sat on his platform watching his Squirtle battling with Yoshi. The little green dinosaur may have looked and sounded like an idiot but it sure knew its stuff. It hurled an egg at Squirtle which was dodged when Red told Squirtle to use surf. The wave powered towards Yoshi who jumped into the air, on level with Squirtle, and swallowed the blue water turtle whole. Squirtle was then, ahem, ejected out the back. The egg fell down into the abyss and Red quickly switched Pokémon until Charazard burst from the egg. The lizard Pokémon flew upwards and then dive-bombed Yoshi, knocking the screaming dinosaur off the edge. An explosion accompanied by a satisfying explosion signaled that Yoshi had not recovered.

Red sat in his room after the battle, thinking. People were congratulating me after the battle, but what did I really do? He looked down at his poke balls. It's not as if they would just sit there and get their butts kicked if I didn't tell them what moves to use. While he was contemplating his actual worth his roommate, Link, walked in. "Hey man, good job in that brawl!" he said, jumping onto his own bed.

Red grunted but otherwise didn't answer. Link blinked a couple of times. Red is usually a pretty quiet guy, but a grunt? That's not even a word! Link sat up and put his hands on his knees. "If you're in a bad mood then I got something that might cheer you up." Link looked around to make sure there was nobody else around. "Zelda was watching your fight and it looked to me that she was pretty impressed." Red raised an eyebrow.

"Zelda? Yeah she's pretty and nice and stuff but isn't she your crush or something?" he inquired.

Link laughed. "Just because I rescued her a dozen times doesn't mean we're going out. Besides, I got a girlfriend back home."

Red laughed as well. "That's nice and all but I don't think I'm good enough for her, even if she really does like." Red pulled his hat down over his eyes. "I just wish that I could battle like you guys instead of watching from the sidelines."

Link adopted a thoughtful expression. "I could talk you up and say that you're only an oral brawler." Link chuckled to himself until a poke ball smacked him in the face. He fell over then sat back up, his hands covering a large bruise on his forehead. "Ow! That hurt you freaking jerk!"

"Go to sleep Link." Red chuckled.

When Red was sure that Link was asleep he got out of bed and headed to the gym. He then found a white punching bag and started to hit the bag in the face. He wasn't doing much damage. When he stopped for a short break he noticed that the bag seemed to be laughing at him. He growled, ran towards the chuckling sack, and hit it as hard as he could. The bag leaned almost all the way to the floor. "That's for having a sense of humor you piece of-WHAM! The punching bag had swung back towards the gloating trainer and smacked him hard in the face. The blow sent Red flying a good five feet and he lay on his back and didn't get up. He dusted himself off and left the gym without another word, trying to retain some dignity while the punching bag was doubled over with laughter. I hate being weak. He thought to himself.

Red was used to being woken up by his voltorb alarm clock. This clock was useful because it blew up if you didn't wake up and turn it off. He was then unprepared when he was wrapped up in his sheets and unceremoniously slung over somebodies back. The person carried him for a good while until finally the person stopped. Finally Red thought. The person then threw him onto the ground. Ow. Red unfurled himself from his sheets and found himself face to face with Link. "What the hell man! I was sleeping!" he ranted. Link crossed his arms and smirked.

"You're mad, that's understandable. But I thought that this is what you wanted?" Red looked confused.

"What are you talking about? I don't remember wanting to be kidnapped from my bed early in the morning." Link laughed again.

"Well, if you want to become a real brawler then you better get used to it. We wake up early to train and you need more training than anybody. That's why I woke you up at four."

"F-four? I got almost no sleep at all then you jackass!" Red yelled.

Link looked at a stop watch he had. "If I were you I would get ready to run." He cautioned.

Red was nonplussed. "Why would I need to run?"

Link looked down. "Well if you want to survive for more than a few seconds is a good reason."

Red looked down and yelped. He was on Donkey Kong's level. This was a vertical moving level that had all sorts of tricks in it. You had to climb ladders and jump to platforms if you didn't want to be left behind. If you fell behind then it would be the same as if you fell off the stage. He quickly ran to the nearest ladder and began to climb. Link yelled encouragement from the side lines. "Keep going!" "Make sure you watch out for the spikes!" "Oh, that look like it hurt." When Red had gone through the full course three times Link stopped it. Red was breathing very hard and was covered in sweat. He had also been knocked out of the stage multiple times; six times at Link's last count. "That was pretty bad, but not bad for your first try." Link said clapping Red on the shoulder.

Red swatted his hand away. "Leave me alone you blonde fairy." He hissed. Link threw up his hands in mock shock.

"That's how you repay a friend who is doing his best to make your dreams come true? With hostile looks and ungrateful words?" He grabbed Red's arm, against his wishes, and quickly dragged him along.

"You're welcome, but that was just the beginning. We still have basic combat ahead of us." Red groaned as Link led on, humming the whole way.

Link had taken Red to his home stage, the castle, and was handing Red items. "Since you have no powers at all we are going to have to make do with items." He threw Red an energy sword, a super scope, sticky bombs, and a spring. "The sword will be your basic attacks, make moves for it as you see fit." "This super scope will be your ranged attack, it has rapid fire and the more damaging charge shot." "The sticky bombs stick to anything including you, so be careful." This spring will let you jump high and you can through it at your enemies."

Link then trained with Red all day until Red became quite proficient with his items. His items were specially made that way the bombs would respawn; the sword would spin back to him when thrown; the super scope had a recharge time after he shot so many times; and the spring could be used in midair, that way he could recover from falls. Red then decided to ask Link a key question. "What will my final smash be?"

Link smiled. "That is a very good question!"

"By good question do you mean you don't have an ultimate smash for me?" Red asked.

Link nodded. "Uh huh, each brawler needs to make his or her own smash. Your final smash will be of your own creation, not mine." Red shook his head. "But what will I be able to do? None of the items are worth a final smash!"

Link thought for a second then brightened. "Why don't you mix two or three of them? That might make it quite the formidable smash." Link left that way Red could think up his final smash on his own. After a while he smiled. Oh they're not going to like this!

Red's next battle was going to be against Falco. The battle was going to be on one of Falco's home stages, the big ship. Falco jumped out of his plane as it flew by the larger vessel and prepared for battle. He saw the trainer's platform pull up alongside the ship and expected Red to send out one of his Pokémon. He was very surprised when Red jumped off his platform and landed on top of the ships rear fin. "So you actually gonna fight me kid?" Falco asked cocky his head quizzically.

"You bet your feathery butt I am." Red challenged. He drew his red energy saber (holy crap he's a sith!) and got into his fighting stance.

Falco drew his pistol and started shooting blue lasers at Red. Red jumped over the first few blast and as soon as he landed in front of Falco he threw his red(what a surprise) energy shield on. The shield absorbed the blast, growing smaller as it did, and once Falco began to reload, Red struck out with his saber. Falco was thrown into the air but recovered with a flip. Red unloaded with his super scope and the first couple hit their target. Then Falco kicked his shield at the incoming blasts.

Red's eyes widened as his own blasts came back at him. He jumped over them and dropped towards Falco, trying to get in close. So he thinks he can beat me just because he's close? Well he's got another thing coming. Falco thought as the trainer dropped towards him swinging his saber as he did so. Falco used his fire launch and met Red in the air. The fire burned Red and threw him back the way he came. Falco was right behind him. Before he hit the ground he began to strike Red with his wings in quick succession. The momentum of his blows kept him in the air as Red was pushed over the fin and onto the booster. He so fast! Red thought to himself.

Falco looked down at him and laughed, taunting as he did so. "Piece of cake." He said, kicking his reflector around as he did so. He was then surprised when Red launched himself off a spring and landed behind him. Falco felt something hit him in the back but he didn't take noticeable damage. He turned around. "That all you got?" he said unworriedly. Red smiled and charged up his super scope. Falco got ready to reflect it when his back exploded.

Falco dimly heard something about a sticky bomb when he was hit with a fully charged super scope blast. He was launched off the screen and suffered the first loss of the match. When he respawned he was pissed. Seeing the object that would grant him revenge, and probably the match, he jumped in the air towards the smash ball. Red noticed Falco's movement and thought he was running away. Then he saw the smash ball. "Oh shit!" he swore. He hurried to steal the ball from Falco but was too late. As Falco fired into the glowing orb it disappeared and he was surrounded by the same glowing light. "Landmaster!" he yelled then jumped into a huge tank that landed on the ship.

Red tried to block the incoming blast but his shield only stopped one blast before he was blown of the stage. He respawned on top of the tank and thought he was safe. Then the take did a barrel roll. Red was dealt a lot of damage and rolled away. He was under the barrel but Falco used the tank to roll right over Red. For the second time in as many minutes he was launched from the stage. This time he hit the ship running. I only have one life left! I have to survive until that thing runs out of juice. Desperate he jumped of the edge. The tank was right behind him. Red used his spring to just barely launch himself to safety. "Take that bird boy!" he yelled. Then the tank slowly rose in front of him, the barrel right in his face. Oh yeah, Falco's tank flies. He thought, a smile frozen on his face. He turned his shield on and then the tank disappeared in a blue light. It's like a blueprint Red couldn't help thinking.

Falco was having such a good time. Then his final smash ran out. Fine by me, the kid only has one life left and I still have two more. He ran towards the trainer, hearing the crowd cheer his name. He fired towards Red, ready to end it…and ran straight into Red's locked and loaded home-run bat. The crowds cheering died out as Falco was smacked out of the stage, just a big screaming fireball.

Red threw the bat off the edge. Now we're even bird brain. Falco respawned and his feathers looked a bit ruffled. "Nice one kid, but luck won't save you." Falco and Red stared at each other for a few seconds then both drew their guns. They were both knocked flying as they were hit with a full clip from each other's guns. They then flew towards each other. Red threw his sword at Falco but the bird man used his phantom move to bypass it. He was just about to close with Red when the sword came back and smacked him in the back. Red juggled him a bit then Falco recovered with a flip. He landed beside a box that had fallen from the sky. He ran towards Red and slid behind him. Then he grabbed Red by the legs and threw him straight into the box. "Heh!" he chuckled.

Then he heard a sound. The screen also turned kind of dark. When Red got up he was glowing with rainbow colors. He smiled at Falco. "Time Freeze!" he yelled. At once Falco couldn't move. This was no slow watch. This stopped him completely from moving. What the hell? He saw Red get down on one knee and charge his super scope. Maybe this won't be too bad Falco thought. Then a huge yellow beam shot towards him. Mother! Boom! Falco was launched off the stage as a huge yellow beam engulfed him.

Red stood up hearing the announcer yelling game. He had won. He was a brawler.
