A brawl story... didn't think I'd end up doing another one of these.

I own no brawl characters obviously, but if you see anyone you don't know, they're mine. Haha.

Chapter 1 - Strangeness.

Pikachu used Volt Tackle!

Pikachu enveloped himself in a blue aura of electricity and propelled himself at his opponent. Lucario, with a gleam in his eye, swiftly dodged the attack, keeping this up until the blue aura warded off. "Give it up, Pikachu. You won't beat me!"

Lucario protected itself!

Pikachu's attack missed!

"Pi pikachu!" Pikachu growled at Lucario and started running in his direction, sparks flying from his cheeks. Just as soon as he was within an inch of his blue target, Lucario vanished. Pikachu came to a screeching halt and looked around in exasperation. "Pi?" He looked left and right for his target... nothing. Where the hell did he find his way to? 'Damn this language lock. Where the heck did Lucario go? He was just here... unless..."

Lucario used ExtremeSpeed!

But by the time Pikachu realized this, Lucario's palm ran straight into Pikachu's back from above. In fact, probably 100 palms were executed in that second Lucario was over him. "Too slow." Once Lucario landed back on his feet, Pikachu turned and glared at the smirking fighting Pokémon. "Pi... pi... pikachu..." was all the electric mouse Pokémon could utter before he collapsed onto the ground. 'Darn... I can't move... I guess it's over.'

Pikachu fainted!

"And that's a wrap, you two!" Red walked from the viewing area into the arena to pick up the weary Pikachu from the ground. "Who'd have thought that Tabuu would let us use this place as a Pokémon battle simulator?"

"I thought our goal was to get away from that battling junk," Lucario said as he headed for the door. "That battling stuff was getting annoying. Can you believe they made me a steel-type? STEEL? You have any idea how the fights with my buddy Machamp ended up?" Red shrugged in confusion. "Not well. You try being one-hit knocked out by a Focus Punch." With that said, Lucario was out.

"Good point... oh well. Let's get you up to your room, Pikachu," Red said, while closing the door and carrying Pikachu in his arms. "Then again, if they kept paralysis in the sims, you'd probably would have won." As soon as he got to Pikachu's... rather yellow room, Red laid him on the bed and walked out. "Oh my, I'm going to be late for my meeting! I heard there's supposed to be a new black guy and a white girl this time... or was it a guy named Black, and a girl named White...? Eh, oh well. Time to catch some new Pokémon!" And with the widest grin on his face, Red left the Smash House Mansion Complex (long name, yes...) to attend his Trainers' Meeting.

"So Mario, why do you care so much for the Princess anyways?"

"To be honest, Bowser, it's the money." Bowser and Mario were playing chess in the park while the children were out playing kickball with others. It was actually a pretty even match. "I mean, don't get me wrong, saving her from all sorts of stuff is pretty easy. But I mean, come on dude: She's a legendary princess, she's associated with all of these legendary weird-ass things, and to top it off, she's PURE! Do you have any idea how much the kingdom would pay for that? Checkmate, by the way."

Bowser gritted his teeth as he looked for a way out. When he found it, he moved his piece. "Yeah, well I'm just saying. I'm tired of being portrayed as the bad guy all the time. I came to this whole Smash Brothers thing to get away from being the main bad guy, ya know?"

Mario thought for a second, and moved another piece. "I hear ya. That's exactly why Donkey Kong quit the Mario business all those years ago."

Bowser's eyes went back to the chessboard and scanned it. He moved another piece, and when content, smiled. "Check. All I'm saying is that I hate being the idiot bad guy all the time. Is it too much to ask to not be so damn clueless in every game?"

"I guess. Ever since Brawl came out, we've all been reverting back to our old styles of playing again. All DK does is throw barrels now, Sonic just runs all over the place destroying everything and grabbing floating rings... hell, even Ness has problems now." Mario moves his chess piece.

"What kind of problems?"

"Every time he gets in a fight, he can't see himself anymore and he goes into some sort of high. It's probably all the Mushrooms he's been eating. It's actually pretty freakin' funny."

Bowser moves another piece. "Ya know, I've noticed the same thing. I was fighting that Snake guy just the other day on Shadow Moses Island, and as soon as I KO'd him, I heard some guy go 'Snake? Snake? SNAAAAAAAAAKE!' It's quite annoying at times."

"I'd figure. I wonder what's going on with our video games now." Mario moves another piece. "Checkmate."

"WHAT?" Bowser frantically looks around the board, but it was no use. He was cornered. "Aw, dammit! You alway win at this game. I guess that Chessmaster game was a bunch of bull."

Soon after the game ended, the two heard an explosion from the kickball field. With that, Lucas, Ness, Toon Link, and the Ice Climbers came running as fast as they could. As Mario and Bowser looked behind them, they saw a bunch of angry little children running towards them, most of them blackened with soot from the explosion. Of course, parents also followed with the children. As the van was still several yards away, the brawlers had no choice but to run for it.

Bowser took no time to ask, "What in the HELL did you guys do?"

"Well... one of the kids called Ness a wimp..., so he was going to eat a Super Mushroom... to grow and kick the ball really high...," the timid blonde stopped talking to take a breath, then continued. "But then he got all weird... and thought he was getting attacked by an armadillo... and blew up the ball using PK Fire... then attacked all the kids because he thought they were sharks..."

Mario and Bowser, both with strange looks on their faces, turned to face each other while running. "OK, Mario, I take it back, this really isn't funny anymore. LET'S GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"

Later that evening...

The house's conference room was full of angry brawlers that night. In fact, the rage in each smasher was so intense, that some of them started fighting each other. Out of a few of them, some of their complaints could be heard: "My energy tanks are all missing!" "Why do I pass out after six freakin' hits?" 'Who's turning me back into a freakin' scaredy-cat?" (Kudos to anyone that knows who those three are.)

Tabuu, being too busy to enter the main building, simply appeared on the big screen in the room. When he saw the uproar that was occurring before him, he inhaled and shouted, "SILENCE!"

And as commanded, there was silence.

"Now, I've heard of a few issues around the area with some of you. What seems to be the problem?"

Kirby stood up from his seat with an angry look, but had an odd look to him. Instead of his usual pink self, he was completely black with white eyes. "Well for one, we're all starting to go back to our old methods of video games! I mean, LOOK AT ME! I swallowed Mr. Game and Watch and this is what happened!"

"Indeed, it does appear that you swallowed him." Tabuu then looked around the room in confusion. "But where IS Mr. Game and Watch?"

Kirby sweatdropped. "Well, here's the thing..."

Somewhere in another dimension...

"BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE- (FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-)" Mr. Game and Watch helplessly flailed his arms and legs as he floated around in some sort of twisted dimension. Last thing he remembers is fighting against Kirby and suddenly he ended up here. And so far, he has seen no way to get out of there.

Suddenly in the corner of his eye (...sure, he has eyes.), he caught his eye on a floating cake.

"...beep beep boop... (...oh well. At least he has food...)" Game and Watch couldn't argue with that, so he waved his arm trying to grab the cake and near swallowed it whole. Right now all GW was thankful for was that Kirby swallows his food whole.

"So... yeah."

Everyone was speechless at first, but eventually, Meta-Knight simply said, "Who cares? It's just Game and Watch."

And soon after that, everyone basically started casually talking about how much of a jerk Game and Watch apparently was, and how he was arguably one of the worst characters and all that.

Tabuu decided to silence the room once more. "Despite the dislike of Mr. Game and Watch, it is still our duty as fellow brawlers to rescue him." Everybody groaned at this, but Tabuu sighed and silenced the room again. "I know, you all hate him, but we must rescue him. It's in your *whispers* contracts..."

Everyone looked over at Tabuu with a somewhat concerned look. "What?"

"Nothing. Anyways, we need to make preparations to venture into Kirby's stomach. Team Starfox shall prepare a ship to be launched into Kirby's stomach. Everyone else, assemble items that may be beneficial to the mission. This mission shall begin..."

Everyone nodded and started to get up to leave.

"...next chapter."

"...F%$..."

Kinda short, I know, but I haven't done this in a long time, and I'm STILL used to script format. x.x

But anyways, just read and review please. :D
