Chapter 1: New Challenger


"POYOO!" Kirby screamed as he was flung through the air and into the cliff.

The wounded Kirby struggled to lift himself up, but he collapsed back to the ground. He looked up at his attacker, Bowser.

"nnn...p-poyo..." Kirby begged, tears streaming down his cheeks.

Bowser pointed the large and heavy gun-like machine at Kirby and charged it. In just seconds, he would be turned into a statue. Suddenly, something hit Bowser in the head, causing him to miss Kirby and shoot up into the sky. The object that hit Bowser was attatched and was hitting him repeatedly in the head. He roared frustrated, shaking it off. Kirby heard multiple squeaks and saw hundreds of tiny creatures with...flowers on their heads?

Kirby had never seen anything like those before. Perhaps it was a new challenger?

The swarm of the flower-headed creatures was too much for Bowser to handle at once, and he retreated. Kirby sighed with relief and closed his eyes, thinking he was going to black out, but he heard a whistle, footsteps coming toward him, and then a strange voice.

"A pink ball...?" the voice said.

Kirby opened his eyes again and looked up. He saw a strange man in a spacesuit standing there, and behind him were those flower-headed creatures. Did they belong to him?

"Are you all right?" the strange person asked.

"P-poyo..." Kirby whimpered.

"hm...wait here." he said.

Kirby watched the stranger run back into the trees, followed by the creatures. About 5 minutes passed until he returned and knelt beside Kirby.

"Here, this will help." the stranger held a maximum tomato in his hand.

Kirby smiled, "Poyo!"

He inhaled the maximum tomato and swallowed it, and instantly he felt much better. Kirby jumped to his feet and hugged the kind stranger for helping him. The stranger chuckled and patted Kirby on the head.

"Poyo poyo!" Kirby smiled at him.

"You're welcome, I guess." the stranger said, "So, what's your name little guy?"

Kirby blinked, "Poyo..?"

"Um...can you talk at all?"

"Poyo?"

"I guess not..."

"Poyo!" Kirby pointed at the stranger, "Poyo poyo poyo!"

"Oh, I'm Olimar." he said.

"Olie..?" Kirby repeated.

"No, Olimar." he said again.

Kirby smiled, "Olie!"

Olimar couldn't help but chuckle.

Kirby pointed to the small creatures.

"Those are pikmin." he explained.

Kirby smiled and ran toward the group of pikmin, "Poyo!"

The pikmin squeaked in alarm and whacked Kirby with the flowers on their heads.

"POYO!" Kirby yelled.

Suddenly, there was a whistle sound again. All the pikmin stopped attacking him. Kirby looked over at Olimar and saw that he was holding a whistle in his hand.

"Sorry about that. They just got startled." said Olimar.

"Poyo..." Kirby replied.

Suddenly a branch snapped behind them. Olimar and Kirby turned around and saw nothing but the jungle behind them. Kirby thought it was Bowser again, and he hid behind Olimar.

"P-poyo..." he whimpered.

Olimar looked down at Kirby, then looked where the noise came from.

"H-hello?" Olimar called out, "Who's there?"

Kirby peeked out from behind Olimar, and saw Zelda step out. He was never happier to see anyone in his life.

"Poyo!" Kirby squealed with joy.

"Who's this?" Zelda asked.

Kirby smiled, "Olie!"

"Olimar." he answered.

"I'm Zelda, and that's Kirby." she replied.

Kirby jumped for joy at hearing his name, "Kirby! Kirby!"

Olimar smiled, "Kirby huh?"

Zelda looked at Olimar, "So, are you the new challenger?"

"E-excuse me?" Olimar asked, confused, "I-I don't know what you're talking about. I've only been here for a couple days."
