In the Toon Manor training room; Sonic was throwing tons of quick punches and kicks.

"Come on, got to win it this year. You've only reached the top four the last few years you've taken part of these tournaments." said Sonic.

Gwen who was in the room saw this and smiled.

"Training for the Smash Tournament?" said Gwen.

"Yep, it'll be great this year since now there are more fighters." said Sonic, "Holographic fighter."

Gwen pushed a button on a keyboard and a hologram of a human appeared before running towards Sonic.

Sonic started sparring with the hologram while avoiding all it's attacks.

He jumped up in the air and started spinning in a circle before pulling a homing attack on the hologram, making it disappear.

Sonic landed on the ground and stood up before grabbing a bottle of Gatorade and drinking it.

"This is definitely going to be ultimate." said Sonic.

He walked out of the simulator and sat down on an exercise ball.

"I just hope I can win." He said, "Plus Incineroar said His Brothers will be participating. They look like him but ones white, ones black, ones purple, ones yellow, ones grey, ones blue & ones green."

"I'll bet." said Gwen.

"I hope to have a battle against an Inkling. That'd be so awesome to fight a humanoid squid like creature that can change from squid to human and shoot paint as a projectile weapon." said Sonic.

"Okay. Well I hope you get a chance to fight Ryu or Ken from the Street Fighter games." said Gwen.

Sonic scoffed.

"They won't even stand a chance." said Sonic.

Then Salem entered the room.

"I don't know, I heard that there's a vicious plant that'll take part in the tournament as well." said Salem.

"Weak." said Sonic, "Those Piranha Plants don't even have legs, they can only move around in tiny pots."

Salem sighed.

"Well, probably for the best." said Salem.

"My biggest concern for this tournament are the illegal bets that Eddy's currently making." said Sonic.

Cutaway Gag

Eddy was in an alleyway operating a booth labeled Smash Tournament bets and tons of people were at it.

"Alright, place your bets on who you think'll win the Smash Brothers Tournament or who'll make it so far before being eliminated." said Eddy.

One person placed some money on the booth.

"Five hundred for Cloud to make it to the finals." said the person.

"Seven hundred for Jigglypuff to be eliminated on the first round." said another voice.

Eddy chuckled.

"This is going better then I could hope." said Eddy.

Then McGee placed some money on the booth.

"One thousand for Sonic to win the whole tournament." said McGee.

Eddy started putting all his money in a briefcase as siren sounds were heard.

"IT'S THE FUZZ, CHEESE IT!" yelled Gretchen.

Everyone minus Eddy ran off as a cop car appeared and MacArthur and Sanders appeared.

MacArthur groaned.

"Not another illegal gambling ring." said MacArthur, "And from Eddy of all people."

Eddy gulped.

"Oh boy." said Eddy.

End Cutaway Gag

"Why can't he just make those bets at the tournament? I mean, that way they would all be perfectly legal." said Sonic.

Everyone nodded.

"That makes sense." said Salem.

Lincoln entered the room.

"Hey guys." he said.

"Hey Lincoln." the three said.

"So, you excited for the tournament?" said Lincoln.

"I know I am, because this'll be the year that I win it." said Sonic, "Especially after all those defeats I've had previous years."

Flashback

Sonic was on the Final Destination stage battling a Jigglypuff.

He ran towards the Pokemon who simply used rest, knocking Sonic out of the stage.

"How is this even possible?" said Sonic.

Later; he was now battling a Pichu.

Sonic scoffed.

"Easy, these things injure themselves when using electricity based attacks." said Sonic.

But then the Pichu ran towards Sonic before surrounding itself in electricity and tackling Sonic, sending him flying off the stage.

Later; Sonic was now battling Little Mac who was being punched multiple times by Sonic.

"Another win for me." said Sonic.

But then Little Mac used an uppercut on Sonic, sending him flying away from the stage.

End Flashback

"Ain't no way I'm going to lose a chance to get my hands on that Smash Bros Trophy." said Sonic.

Lincoln smiled.

"Is it OK if me and my dad came?" asked Lincoln. "He can serve people food and the contestants his special Lasagna."

"You know that everyone in this mansion has already bought their tickets right?" said Sonic.

Lincoln became shocked.

"Say what now?" said Lincoln.

"Yep, bought two months in advance." said Gwen.

Lincoln is shocked.

"Everyone did that?" said Lincoln.

"Yep, even me when I bought these two with the names Lincoln and Lynn Sr Loud written on." Sonic said before pulling out said tickets.

Lincoln smiled.

"Sweet." he said as he took the tickets away.

Little did they know was that they were being watched by Dr. Claw from his evil lair.

"Another Smash Tournament? Bah, those things are lame." said Dr. Claw.

"I don't know Uncle Claw me and Mad Cat always go and we enjoy it." Said Talon, "It's the one thing we agree on."

Mad Cat nodded at that.

"Why do people enjoy these things?" said Claw.

"Because they're very action packed and awesome." said Talon.

He then put on a foam hand with the Smash Bros logo on it.

"I've got stage side seats to this tournament." said Talon.

Claw groaned.

"There must be someway I can end these lame battles." said Claw.

Talon scoffed.

"Yeah right, it's not like you can just form an alliance with the villains who're taking part in the tournament just so you can make tons of money." said Talon.

Mad Cat nodded as she too had a foam hand with the Smash Bros logo on it on her paw.

"Let's go Mad Cat we got to get to the tournament." said Talon.

Mad Cat nodded and the two left.

Dr Claw did some thinking.

"Rig the tournaments? Yeah, that sounds good." said Claw.

Claw then laughed.

"And I know just how to do it." said Claw.
