Chapter 1: A New Guest
Corrin's P.O.V.
It's been a few months since me, Roy, and Cloud got our house together. Just three guys living in the same place as good friends. Everybody has their own place here in Smashville and we like it here so far. I mostly do the cooking and cleaning in the house while Roy and Cloud do the heavy work. The three of us get along pretty well together but we all have some disagreements from time to time, but we resolve our issues pretty quick and forgive each other since these two got me through alot in this Smash tournament ever since I got here. Cloud came to the tournament a couple months before me and Roy returned to the tournament last summer. Once the three of us met each other we gained respect for each other.
Today was a beautiful Friday morning. I woke up, took a quick shower, got changed into casual clothes, and made us some breakfast knowing today we all had a day off. "Morning Corrin!" said Roy. "Morning Roy!" I said. "Man breakfast smells great today." said Roy. "Why thank you." I said. "You're welcome." said Roy. We heard footsteps in the hallway and then we saw Cloud walk into the kitchen. "Hi Cloud." I said. "Hey." he said. "What's up? Link got on your nerves?" I asked. "How did you know that?" Cloud asked. "We heard you arguing with him last night." said Roy. "I'm sorry you guys had to hear it. The whole fight was pointless anyway." said Cloud. "It's alright." I said. We sat down and ate breakfast. After we ate and cleaned up, we left the house to meet up with Marth, Ike, and Kamui at the park.
"Hey guys." said Kamui. Kamui looks exactly like me but as a girl. "Hey Kamui." I said. The six of us looked and saw some sort of an event next to the park. "What is this?" Roy asked. "It's a carnival." said Marth. "You've got to be kidding?" said Cloud. "Oh come Cloud it's just a carnival. Let's go and have some fun ok?" said Kamui. "Looks like Ike hates it too." said Roy. "Let's just say I had some bad times at those things ok." said Ike. "Same here." said Cloud. Kamui looked at me and grabbed my wrist dragging me to the event. We looked back and saw the group follow us. "Told you they follow." she said. We walked to the event and saw everyone from the tournament was there having fun. I walked around seeing Mario and Sonic compete against each other playing games here knowing their friendly rivalry here in Smash.
As I walked around wondering what to do, I realized that I got separated from the group. "Hi Corrin." said a voice. "Oh hi Zelda." I said. "What are you doing here by yourself?" she asked. "Well I didn't come here by myself. I came with Kamui, Ike, Marth, Roy, and Cloud but as you can see I got separated from them." I said. "Well you can stick with me, Peach, and Link until they find you if that's ok." said Zelda. "Yeah it's fine with me." I said. We walked to a food court and saw Link and Peach as we walked up to them. "Hey dragon boy." said Link. Zelda slapped Link's arm angrily. "Ow! What was that for?" Link asked her. "I told you not to call him that!" said Zelda angrily. Peach and I looked at each other knowing how mad Zelda can get sometimes. "Sorry about that Corrin." said Zelda. "No it's quite alright I'm used to it." I said nervously. "So what brings you here Corrin?" Peach asked. Zelda and I told them what I said to her before.
We walked around the place playing a few games, having a couple snack breaks, and having a good time together and then it started to rain. "Hey Zelda?" I asked. "Yes Corrin?" she asked. "If my group asks you where I am, tell them I walked back to my house ok?" I said. "Ok I will." said Zelda. "Thank you." I said. "You're welcome." she said. I walked out of the carnival and started walking home by myself. As I kept walking I heard Azura's song in my head while the rain fell on my face. I walked near an alley seeing a Pokémon Center ahead and all of a sudden I heard a scream of pain come out of the alley. I ran inside the alley and saw a blue eyed Pikachu getting attacked a group of other Pokémon with their trainers. I took out my Yato Blade and ran up to them. "Leave it alone!" I yelled. They looked and saw my sword glow and the blades move and they ran away in fear. "That went well." I said. I put my sword away and saw the injured Pikachu try to stand up but it fell down. I picked it up in my arms and sat down seeing the injuries on it. Its left ear was partially bit off, had bite wounds almost all over it, and bruises all over it. I looked at its tail and saw it was a male Pikachu.
"Don't worry little guy, it's going to be ok. I promise." I said. The Pikachu looked up at me and I saw his little blue eyes all in pain of what he just went through. "Pika pi." he said. "You're welcome." I said. I brushed off the scruff of fur on his head away from his eyes and I saw a blue lightning bolt on his left eye like a scar. I stood back up with him still in my arms and saw two blue stripes on his back and the bottom of his tail was also blue. "Come on you can come home with me." I said. "Pikachu!" he said happily. I smiled at him and started walking back home again. "Do you have a name little guy?" I asked. He shook his head no. "How about I call you Bolt?" I said. "Pika!" he said happily. "Alright! Bolt it is." I said. We looked down and saw an empty PokéBall on the ground. I picked it up and Bolt touched it allowing himself to be caught. After being caught Bolt came out of the Ball and let me carry him in my arms again.
Ten minutes later we made it back to my house. I opened up the door and closed it hoping that no one was home. "Ok Bolt let's clean you up." I said. I walked to the kitchen and found the first aid kit and started cleaning up Bolt's wounds. "Its ok Bolt. Its ok." I said. After cleaning up his wounds, I wrapped some bandages on him and we sat down in the living room. "This is your new home from now on ok Bolt?" I said. "Pikachu." he said. "Hey, can you still hear in your left ear?" I asked. Bolt nodded his head yes. I sighed in relief. "That's good." I said.
An hour had passed and I kept wondering where Cloud and Roy were. I looked at Bolt seeing him curled up on my lap sound asleep. I took off my cape and put it on Bolt for him to use as a blanket. I began to drift off to sleep and then I heard the door open. "Corrin? You home?" said Roy. "In the living room." I said. "There you are." said Roy as he and Cloud walked in. "Where were you?" Cloud asked me. "I was with Peach and Zelda." I said. "We were looking everywhere for you. You didn't get hurt right?" Roy asked me. "I'm fine you two. I'm alright." I said. Roy and Cloud looked and saw my cape move. "What was that?" said Roy. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I said. "You're joking?" said Roy. We looked and saw Cloud move my cape and they saw Bolt for the first time. Bolt woke up and saw them too and he got scared of them, so he hid behind me wanting me to keep him safe.
"Well well what do we have here?" said Roy. "I can explain." I said. "When and where did you find this?" said Cloud. I told them everything about what happened to Bolt. "And that's what happened." I said. "Man." said Roy. I looked and saw Bolt slowly walk up to them. He looked at me all shy and nervous. "Its ok buddy they won't hurt you. They're nice guys." I said. "Hi Bolt." said Roy after he knelt down looking at him. Bolt slowly walked up to him, sniffed his hand, and finally let Roy pet him. "He likes me." said Roy happily. Cloud finally knelt down and Bolt walked up to him and did the same thing he did to Roy. "He likes you too." I said. "Is he wild?" Cloud asked. "Used to be." I said. "What do you mean used to be?" said Cloud. I showed them the PokéBall for the first time. "You caught him?" said Roy. "Yes." I said. "Looks like he's staying with us then." said Roy. "As long as he doesn't eat wires he can stay." said Cloud. Bolt climbed up onto Cloud's shoulder and nuzzled his face without shocking him. Cloud showed a smile and we knew that he was starting to like him. "I think we found your soft side Cloud." I said. Cloud blushed in embarrassment. "Sh-shut up." he said shyly. Roy and I laughed happily.
After an hour, we all went to bed. I took Bolt to my room and we fell asleep for the night. I gave my cape to Bolt as he liked using it as a blanket. I smiled at him as he slept before I fell asleep. "Goodnight Bolt. See you in the morning." I said. I yawned and I fell asleep peacefully.
Thank you for reading Chapter 1 of the series! This was something I thought of about two weeks ago wondering how to write a story about Corrin, Roy, Cloud, and Pikachu just to see how it would play out and I thought of this story.
Next time, Chapter 2: Home Alone. The swordsmen go to the mansion to train for the tournament and Bolt is home alone. What could possibly go wrong back at home?
