A Forgetful Mario Helped by Friends

One day, In the small town known to you as Pallet Town, there lived a young boy, lets say he's ten, named Ash Ketchum. Ash was in town to visit his mom for Thanksgiving! Ash ran so fast that his buddy Pickachu couldn't keep up! "Picka! Picka! Ka, ka, Chu!" Pickachu shouted, trying to keep up. Ash heard pickachu and slowed down. "Sorry buddy!" Ash said laughing as he scratched the back of his head. "I'm just SO EXCITED! I can just taste Moms turkey, and mashed potatoes, and gravy... mmm..." Ash stopped for a minute as his mouth watered, then pickachu slapped his face and Ash shook his head, laughing! "Sorry Pickachu! I'm excited to see-" Before he finished, he heard two familiar voices call "Ash!" He turned to see two of his best friends Brock and Misty! "Hey guys! Great to see you!" He called, waving to his friends.

"Ash!" Brock called again catching his breath. "You have to come, QUICK!" Misty said as Ash, Brock, and Pickachu were grabbed by Misty! The only one keeping up with her was Brock. "Guys! Do you want to explain whats happeni- Wahh!" Ash yelled as he suddenly tripped over something. "We came across him on our way to your house. Does he look familiar?" Brock asked as Ash turned and saw that the thing he tripped on was a short, red, plummer who looked very odd and was passed out on the long. "No..." Answered Ash, looking at Pickachu as if he might know. All Pickachu did was shrug his shoulders and say in a quiet voice, "Pika-pi..."

One day ago...

"Mario? Are you awake?" Mario heard his brother, Luigi ask. "Yes... Whats wrong?" Mario asked waking up to his worried brother. "The princesses... Princess Peach and Daisy! They're gong! Bowser and Donkey Kong took them up the mountain!" Mario sighed, then looked back at Luigi and cried, "Those two? Together!? They never quit alone... Now they're together! Ugh! This will be tough! Where did they go? We're off for a long journey I suppose." He turned to Luigi, waiting for an answer. "Well... uh... Here's the thing. They went to another... Dimension. So I called Rosalina and she told me she'd be here right away to help us get there!" Just then, they heard a sound that sounded like a warp. They turned and both exclaimed "Rosalina!" Mario went to get dressed, but it was tough. "Red and blue, red and blue, red and blue, Ah! Red and Blue!" So after that hard decision, he left with Luigi.

"Hello Mario!" Rosalina shouted as they got out. "Hello! Nice to see you!" Mario said, ready to go. "How do we get to the new dimension?" Rosalina smiled and made a portal. "You're going to the Pokémon dimension, I know I don't normally travel to different dimensions, but I'll make an exception because I found some black hole energy that I transformed into a portal!" Mario looked at Luigi who looked impressed and asked "Ready?" Luigi nodded and they entered the portal.

"Luigi!" Mario yelled to his brother. "Hold on!" They have spent an hour in the portal, and Luigi's hand was starting to slip! "If you let go, we'll be separated in random areas in the dimension! The chances of returning are slim to none! Not to mention saving the princesses!" Luigi's hand was slipping again and Mario saw the terror in Luigi's face. "I know! One of us might even... Even..." His hand was slipping harder as the tug of time and space tried to pull them apart! "Even what?" Mario cried, feeling almost as scared as Luigi. "Even... Get horribly... Injured." There was a long pause, Mario tried to grab Luigi's hands harder so he wouldn't slip but Luigi let go to hold his head in a panicked reflex! When he realized what he did and tried to grab Mario, it was to late. Mario watched his brother twist away, both of them crying with fear, then before Mario could yell to his brother everything went black.

Present Day

"Ash!" Misty said as Ash walked closer to the man who lied on the floor. "Be careful!" Ash sat down beside the poor plumber on the ground and sighed. "She's right Ash." Brock said walking toward Ash. "He may attack!" Ash sighed again looking at the man. "What a way for someone to spend Thanksgiving! No one deserves this!" Ash picked up the man and started to walk home, his friends following, and Pickachu on his back.

They got home and saw Ashes mom... Having a boxing match with Mr. Mime! "Mom!" Ash shouted, staring at his mom in boxer shorts that matched Mr. Mimes. "Oh! Hi honey!" She said turning to Ash. She got up and turned to him. "I thought you weren't coming until tomorrow!" She walked over and checked the calendar. She blushed and put her hand on her cheek. "Oh, my! It is today! Wait one second..." She turned to Ash and picked up the plumber, who Ash saw was starting to wake up! "Mom... You might not..." But his mom was twirling the little man like nuts! "Oh! What a darling little doll! Oh, Ash, did you get it for me?" Ash paused as Brock said in a nervous voice, "Uh... Mrs. Ketchum... That's not a-" but it was to late.

Mario woke up in a strange house being twirled by a strange woman who stopped to say "Oh! What a darling little doll! Oh, Ash, did you get it for me?" Mario watched and turned, very afraid, to a group of kids. The tallest one said in a nervous voice, "Uh... Mrs. Ketchum... That's not a-" but Mario knew what the boy was going to say, so he interrupted. "I'm Not a doll!" He was out raged! Luckily he brought a king mushroom along! He ate it and grew, grew, and grew. Now he was the same size as these people! (or at least close) "I'm-a Mario!" The strange woman jumped back words and Mario tried to stop him, but the only girl in the group of children stopped him. "Let me-a-go!" He yelled, struggling. "I need to see Luigi!"

Mario hoped that Luigi was here, but he wasn't. Mario remembered the horrible event in the portal. His legs grew weak, and he fell, feeling tears roll down his face. "Who's Luigi?" The shorter boy asked. The red headed girl punched him and sat beside Mario. "Ash..." The taller boy whispered. "I think I know who this guy is." Mario was starting to get impatient and scared. "I told you! I'm-a Mario!" Mario could feel his angry, scared, and very sad tears grow. He got up, but fell again. He couldn't stand it much longer! "By any chance," The tall boy said. "Would Luigi be your brother?" Mario looked up at this boy. "Yes... How did you-a know?" The boy just nodded and sat beside Mario. "I'm Brock, this is Misty, and over there's Ash!" He pointed to the girl, then at the other boy, who looked confused.

Ash was very confused! He could tell that Misty was to. Brock explained that he knew Mario from a video game that kids played when they didn't have pokemon. "Oh. So this guy popped out of the game?" Ash asked. He turned to Misty and they both laughed. "No I didn't!" Mario yelled. He explained the whole story then started to cry again. Ash and Misty walked over to the man and Misty said in a kind, sweet voice, "Don't worry! We'll help you find your friends!" Ash turned to Misty and said "We will!?- I mean... Yeah! We will! That's how the story begins.
