While the group gathered, thinking of where to start looking, they hear a loud scream, followed by an explosion.
"Did you hear that?" Mario asked the others.
"Yes!" Link replied. " sounded like it came from over there."
Curious of what it could be, the group decided to immediately rush to the location link pointed out.
"Let's move", Luigi said.
Moments after the group departed the lake front, a mysterious character, spying on them from a bush reveals himself.
"Hmm! Just like I planned." He slowly and quietly began following them.
As the group continues their investigation, they are halted by what appears to be a mysterious cave.
"Hmm!" Luigi wondered. "Could the sound have come from behind this wall? "He asked.
Link decides to get a closer look.
"Hmm! Looks to me that this here is no ordinary wall." He said.
"What do you mean?" The Mario Bros replied.
"STAND BACK!" Link yelled. Then he threw a bomb.
The explosion cleared the boulders that caused the blockage thereby exposing the cave entrance.
"Wow!" The group stared speechlessly.
Moments later, they hear another scream.
"PIKAH!" Pikachu yelled out in fear.
"Let's go!" Mario said.
"Wah, wah, wait!" Luigi said. "Why don't I just stay here? You know, to make sure nothing suspicious happens while you guys investigate."
"Ok, fine!" Mario said.
"If you notice anything weird, just holler" Link told him.
The group then proceeded into the cave. Little did they know, they were in for a big surprise.
"What is this place?" Link wondered.
"Yoshi" Yoshi yelled pointing to one of the tunnels.
"Is that….Lucario?" Mario cried. The group ran towards him.
"He is out cold" Link told Mario. "He needs help fast."
"Here, I'll carry him out of here" Link said. He carries Lucario towards the cave exit.
Mario, Yoshi and Pikachu continue deeper into the cave.
They hear another scream.
"LET ME GO!"
The trio rushed to the area up ahead. Suddenly, Pikachu cried,
"PIKAAAAAAAH!"
"What is it Pikachu?" Mario asked desperately.
A sudden cloud of smoke surrounded them.
"Muhahaha" A mysterious laugh was heard.
"Who's there!" Mario yelled.
"Leave this island if you want to stay alive!" A mysterious character demanded.
The smoke cleared and to Mario's surprise, Pikachu and Yoshi had vanished.
"Huh! Pikachu? Yoshi?" He cried. "Hmm! It's a note. It might give me a clue to where the others might be"
Mario read the note. "It's from Pokemon trainer!" "It says…."
