Chapter 1: Going Home
Pikachu's Point-of-view
It seemed like yesterday when I was just a normal Pikachu, living a normal Pikachu life in a forest with other Pikachu.
It seemed like yesterday when I was recruited by a mysterious human to be part of a fighting tournament called "Super Smash Bros." And it seemed like yesterday I was fighting a weird variety of creatures in the tournament nonstop.
And it was just yesterday I was defeated by a pink puffball named Kirby for the championship title in Super Smash Bros.
I was lying awake in bed in my rented apartment. I was still in Los Angeles, the city where the Smash Bros. Tournament, and still on the planet Earth, and very far from home. I was still reeling in disappointment from losing to Kirby last night. I had trained hard over the season for a chance to win all the glory. But ultimately Kirby proved to be the better fighter. I hated it, but I had to admit I was second-best.
But I had to admit, fighting and competing was fun. The old Pokemon instinct of competition was still alive inside of me. These last few months were among the best in my life. Of course, the only sour notes were my losses.
I continued to reminisce about the tournament as I drifted to sleep.
I woke up a few hours later, and after a simple bath – I was just a Pokemon, after all – I was ready to leave and return to the Pokemon world. Unlike the other "Smashers", I didn't really pack anything, so I was good to go. I said goodbye to the apartment, my adobe for the past few months, and took the elevator down.
At the lobby I saw the other eleven "Smashers" waiting outside for the bus. The pink puffball Kirby was among them, as was another pink puffball who was a Pokemon called Jigglypuff, and other creatures. There were a couple of humans, too; one was a stout man named Mario who wore a red cap, another was a young man named Link who wore green clothes.
Link caught sight me and yelled, "Hey Pikachu!"
I nodded my head in acknowledgment. "Hey Link," I replied.
Normally, in my world humans don't understand us Pokemon, but for some reason they could perfectly understand me and Jigglypuff here. Maybe it's some kind of spell the tournament organizers put on us...
"Did you sleep well?" Link asked me.
"Yeah, I did. You?"
"Not really. I'm eager to return to Hyrule."
Link was a friendly guy who I was able to befriend while the tournament was going on. He had an honest, easygoing nature that everyone liked. Link and I talked as waited for the bus, which came a few minutes later. A green dinosaur-like creature named Yoshi also came into our conversation. Yoshi was another friend I made in Smash Bros.
The bus, which would take us to Smash Bros. HQ, arrived and we all boarded it. I took a seat next to the window and Link sat next to me. As the bus departed, I looked outside. The sky was clear and there were very few clouds. People, cars, buildings, and other things whizzed by as we drove on.
Suddenly, the bus came to an abrupt stop. We heard our bus driver scream.
"What was that?" I asked Link.
"I don't know," he replied as he got up from his seat. I followed him as the other Smashers got up from their seats as well.
"W-what is that thing?" the bus driver asked as he pointed to something in front of the bus in horror. It was a green bug-like creature that stared back at us.
"A tektite? What are they doing here?" Link said as he ran outside to confront the creature. He unsheathed his trademark Master Sword and started hacking at the creature. With a few quick strikes, the creature broke into pieces and disintegrated.
We rushed out of the bus and looked around. It seemed like the "tektite" was not alone. More of the things were crawling around the city, and they were joined by all sorts of creepy creatures that I had never seen before.
"What are Hyrulean creatures doing here?" Link exclaimed.
"I could ask the same for Bowser's forces..." Mario replied.
As all twelve of us scanned the monsters around us, I could only wonder what was going on.
