Legend of Nintendia
I do not own any rights to anything from Nintendo or any other video game franchise. I only own this fan fiction.
For reference as to timeline this story begins after the 3DS/WiiU version of Super Smash Bros. would have come out. Tabuu, the main villain from the game prior has been defeated roughly 10 years before the events in this story take place.
Prologue : A Fierce War Takes Place
As Olimar, captain of the SS Dolphin and native to the planet Hocotate looked around him at the battlefield he could tell things weren't going so well for their side.
At first it had indeed seemed like their side was winning against the creatures known only as "shadows" to them; strange creatures whose origins were unknown. But as the battle continued the shadows had begun to overwhelm them and one by one each of the Nintendian warriors had fallen in the battle. Now not many were left still fighting and Olimar constantly worried whether he would be next to be taken down.
A small tug on the sleeve of his space suit brought him back to the present as he looked down at the red, purple and white pikmin that was all that was left of his pikmin companions. Many had died bravely that day and Olimar didn't have the heart, or the magic to summon more so these three were all that he had left.
The red pikmin, who had tugged his sleeve, pointed up at a ridge above them to where Olimar could see the silhouette of something standing on it.
Sighing heavily Olimar climbed up to the ridge and stared at the figure for a few short seconds, shaking his head sadly at it.
The figure was the stone form of Lucario, another Nintendian descendent like Olimar was. One hand held up to protect his face the other stretched forward as if to grabbed something or hold something up. A grimace of pain was plain on his frozen face as he stood in the last position he was in before succumbing to the Stonespell.
Sighing once again Olimar reached down and lightly tapped the bronze stand underneath Lucario's feet. Stone Lucario glowed brightly afterwards for a few seconds before Lucario returned to his proper state and fell to the ground gasping. A common side-effect of the Stonespell was feeling immense amounts of pain from the injuries that they had received as the Stonespell took effect. In this particular case Lucario was still gasping for breath as Olimar watched him while he messaging his throat which most likely meant the shadow had taken him out with a direct bite to his throat and had crushed Lucario's windpipe.
"Are you okay Lucario?" normally since they came from two different worlds Olimar wouldn't have been able to ask such a question from Lucario due to a major language barrier issue, but since they were currently in the world Nintendia the magic in the air allowed the Hocotatian to easily speak to the Aura Pokémon.
"I'm fine" Lucario said as he got to his feet. Almost twice as tall as him Olimar had no choice but to slightly crane his neck to be able to look directly into Lucario's red eyes. The fact that he was one of the shortest Nintendian descendants didn't help him very much at all.
"We need to gather everyone that is still fighting and regroup for a new plan of attack."
"How is your magic doing Olimar?"
"I don't have much left," Olimar pointed to his last three pikmin and continued, "It's not enough energy to summon anymore pikmin and it's only a matter of time before…"
"Olimar help!"
The cry instantly made Olimar turn to find the source of the voice and what he saw made his blood run cold.
A little ways away from the cliff Olimar, Lucario and the pikmin were standing on was another Nintendian descendent that looked a lot like Olimar. He wore a suit and helmet very much like Olimar's but his suit had bright cyan blue markings on it verses Olimar's had deep red ones. He also had rounded ears that didn't taper into points like Olimar's did and if one had listen to the way this Nintendian talked they would have noticed a distinct accent the Hocotatians didn't have but the Koppaites from the planet Koppai did, which was in the same universe as Olimar's world.
At this current time the Koppaite was surrounded by a dozen shadows that were slowly closing in. Like Olimar he could summon pikmin at a moment's notice and he did have some pikmin with him that he was throwing at the shadows but his small group was getting smaller by the minute and Olimar could see from where he was standing that the Koppaite was getting tired.
Cursing under his breath Olimar apologetically held up his hand to tell Lucario he would be back in a minute and jumped off the cliff and ran towards the Koppaite with his three pikmin following quickly behind him. As he continued to run Olimar grabbed the purple pikmin by the stem and threw it full force at the pack of shadows.
The purple pikmin landed with a heavy thud into the side of one of the shadows which caused the shadow to fall sideways into two other shadows and together the weight of the heavy pikmin crushed the three shadows, killing them instantly and causing them to turn into black puffs of smoke.
By this point the rest of the shadows had noticed Olimar coming towards them but Olimar was ready for them and threw his next pikmin into the air, which was the red one. As soon as the red pikmin landed on the back of one of the shadows the shadow's black fur instantly caught on fire and the shadow jumped around and tried rolling in the dirt to put the fire out only to catch several other shadows on fire as well. By the time the red pikmin had finally been snapped up into the mouth of one of the remaining shadows left and had been eaten only five of the shadows remained.
This instantly turned into one however when suddenly four were electrocuted by lightning.
Turning his head to his left Olimar just barely saw a yellow tail disappear into the gloom followed by the sharp cry of "Pikachu" before more lightning landed on another group of unsuspecting shadows.
Turning back Olimar saw the last shadow fall to the ground and a white billow of mist floating off into the sky indicating that the shadow had tried to eat the white pikmin behind his back and didn't know that the white ones were poisonous.
The Koppaite started come up to Olimar with a wide grin on his face until he stopped dead in his tracks and saw the angry glare Olimar gave him. Backing away he tried to run away only to have Olimar chase him down and pin him against a rock wall.
"Ouch," he cried out when he hit the rock and it dug into his back.
"Alph, what in all the worlds are you doing here?"
"I-I w-w-was j-just…" Alph stammered out.
"You could have been killed out here and none of us would have been the wiser and besides I told you weren't ready to help us fight against the shadows." Olimar yelled at Alph, making him wince.
"But Olimar…"
"That's enough Alph. Now get out of here and go back to Nintendia Hall and wait for us there before I or one of the others has to go save you again."
Alph opened his mouth to say something only to shut it when he earned another glare from Olimar. Grumbling in his native tongue Alph walked towards the edge of battlefield with one lone yellow pikmin still following him. Olimar didn't stop watching him until Alph and the pikmin were out of sight.
("Perhaps you were a little too hard on him Olimar?")
Olimar turned to see Lucario coming towards him but he wasn't alone. Marth was right behind him followed by Pikachu who had stopped attacking shadows with lightning. "I told him to stay out of this and he didn't listen."
"Maybe so Olimar but he is still only a child and children don't learn living in a box for the rest of their lives." Marth stated as he wiped black shadow blood from off his sword with the edge of his cloak.
"I don't need advice about parenting guys. I have kids of my own back on Hocotate and if you think I can't handle one Koppaite teenager then maybe you want to…" Olimar stopped mid-sentence when he realized that none of them were paying attention to him anymore but were instead looking at something behind him.
Olimar barely had time to turn and see what it was before a giant wave of darkness barreled into the four of them and he lost consciousness.
