Chapter 2
We both charged at each other, ready to brawl. Jigglypuff tried to kick me with both of its tiny feet, but I just barely jumped out of the attack's way. I landed on the other side of the pink Balloon Pokémon, ran after it and kicked it, sending it flying across the stage. It charged at me, and when I tried to block it with a punch, it hit me in the face. Luckily, my attack did hit the Pokémon. It ran away from me to the edge of the stage, so I decided to try to land a Bowser Bomb attack on it. I jumped into the air and performed my attack, but it barely dodged out of my way and hit me.
Ugh, this thing is quick… I thought to myself. It ran after me and tried to hit me, so I hit back and both of our attacks hit each other. How is it not that hurt? I punched it across the stage, and it landed on the side opposite of me. It ran at me again, and I punched it out of my way once again. It floated above me and traveled to the other side of the stage, so I ran after it and tried to attack. However, it punched me instead and knocked me back a bit. Wow, this puny little thing really packs a punch… It performed a Rollout attack, but I jumped out of the way and dropped a Bowser Bomb attack, launching it high into the air. It still didn't get defeated, though.
What the heck?! That should've KO'd it! And then it hit me. I noticed that every few seconds, the Jigglypuff would sparkle, making it seem less damaged. It could heal itself! Not fair!
And to make matters even more unfair, a colorful ball of energy with a plus sign in the center of it appeared, making the audience go nuts. It was the Smash Ball. The one thing that I couldn't use.
As Jigglypuff started to land from my previous attack, it spun around and chiseled at the Smash Ball with its feet. I had to KO that Jigglypuff before it could activate its Final Smash!
It floated towards the Smash Ball, its mindset on hitting it and finally breaking it, but I somersaulted into the air and kicked the Pokémon out of the way. When it landed, I slid towards it and landed a powerful kick on the pink puff, but it still would not get defeated. If only it didn't heal itself… I thought to myself grumpily, knowing that this fight would have ended a while ago if that Pokémon didn't cheat!
As it started to fall to the ground, it spun around and hit the Smash Ball, breaking it. Jugglypuff began to radiate a mysterious, colorful glow, and its eyes turned from teal to gold. It had the Final Smash. Great.
It moved right above me and activated it. Jigglypuff started to grow, and I had no choice but to run to the other side of the stage.
"Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiggg…" it said as it continued to grow, getting incredibly close to me. T-this can't be! I don't want to lose! It was just about to touch me and blast me off of the stage when…
"JIGGlYYYYYY!" it shouted as it started to shrink. I gave a heavy sigh in relief and ran towards the creature as it slowly drifted down to the ground, my mind set on finishing this fight once and for all. I tried to knock it off of the stage by slamming against it with my shell, but it floated out of my way and gave me a hard punch, sending me flying. I got up and tried to attack it with another Bowser Bomb attack, but it ran out of my way and started up a Rollout attack. As it charged at me, I kicked it out of my way and tried to claw at it in the air. It dodged my attack, landed and tried to hit me with another Rollout attack. This time… I'm gonna hit you! I thought as I jumped into the air and performed another Bowser Bomb attack. And this time, it hit.
It flew into the air, but still would not be defeated. It sparkled and shone as it slowly healed itself, and the battle still raged on. Kick attack, slam attack, claw, Rollout, missed Bowser Bomb, Slam attack.
"That's it!" I roared, exhausted, almost ready to give out. "IT'S TIME TO FINISH THIS!" I charged at the Pokémon with every desire to knock it clear out of this building. It charged at me, most likely with the same mindset.
"JIIIIIIIIIIIIG!"
"RAAAAAAAAGH!"
We both collided, causing a huge explosion. We both got knocked back.
"GAME!" the announcer called, although it was impossible to tell which one of us was knocked outside of the boundary lines. I couldn't even tell.
(Meanwhile, at the fighter lounge)
"C'mon, Gorudo…" Lucy said as she watched the crystal shelled Koopa struggle to knock the Jigglypuff off of the stage. Jigglypuff had just used its Final Smash a couple of minutes ago.
"How pathetic!" Tosho sneered, causing Lucy to give him a piercing glare. "He's struggling with a Jigglypuff! A Jigglypuff! He can't even beet a puny little wimp!"
"Can it, Tosho! The Jigglypuff is healing itself! This fight would have been over long ago if it wasn't healing! Gorudo is strong!"
"Doesn't matter! Look at all of those missed hits!" the Koopa said as he pointed out Gorudo missing the Jigglypuff with a Bowser Bomb attack.
"It's a slow move," Lucy responded.
"I hit with that move easily!"
"So what? Everyone is different!"
"Exactly. I'm just better." Lucy was just about fed up with Tosho's rude behavior, and it took every bit of her self-control to not slug him upside the head.
"Gorudo is a loser!" Tosho said.
"Hey! That's enough!" a voice called. Lucy and Tosho turned around and saw Lucky, another Lucario.
"Whadda you want, shrimp?" Tosho insulted the light blue Lucario, who was a little shorter than the average Lucario.
"I want you to stop insulting my friend, Gorudo."
"Do you even know him?" Tosho asked.
"…Okay, I may have only met the guy a few times, but he's really nice, and doesn't deserve your verbal bashing!"
"Who are you, anyway? Oh, wait! Is this your boyfriend Lucy?"
"THAT'S MY BROTHER!" Lucy screamed, about ready to explode in a fit of rage.
"Oh," Tosho said disappointedly, upset that he couldn't get the chance to mock the fifteen year old girl.
"You better watch yourself…" Lucky said venomously, giving Tosho the 'I've got my eyes on you' gesture.
"Pfft. Like you scare me," Tosho said. "I bet I could-"
"GAME!" the announcer shouted.
"Who won?" one of the other smashers said excitedly.
"I can't tell… There's too much smoke…" another said wearily. Lucy, Lucky and Tosho all stared at the television, all tense to see who won.
"The winner is…"
(Back at the stadium)
"Gorudohato!" the announcer said, causing the crowd to go crazy, chanting Gorudohato's name.
"Wait… I won?! I WON!" I cheered, jumping up and down like an excited child. Jigglypuff and I were both teleported back to the dark halls that teleported us to the stadium. I walked down the hall, extremely proud of myself, and was greeted by an extremely excited friend.
"GORUDO!" Lucy cheered as she hugged me and jumped up and down. "Oh my gosh ohmygosh ohmygosh! Awesome job!"
"Yeah!" Lucky said as Lucy finally let go of me from her bone-crushing hug.
"Oh, Lucky! How's it going?" I greeted the Lucario. Our conversation was interrupted by unwelcome, slow clapping.
"Well, well, well," Tosho said as he approached me. "It looks like we have a loser."
"Umm, I won, genius," I said, not wanting to deal with that idiot's remarks.
"Yeah, but you sucked at it."
"Oh, give it a break, Tosho!" Lucy barked. "It was his first tournament fight! He did great for that!"
"Yeah!" Lucky added.
"I don't want your input, short stuff!" Tosho scolded.
"Hey!" I growled.
"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" Lucy screamed, trying to break up the fight. The entire room went silent, and everyone's heads turned towards us. "Look, I don't want to start a brawl right after the final fight of the day, so why don't we all settle down and talk nicely?"
"But Tosho doesn't know how to…" I muttered.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU PIECE OF-" Tosho started.
"Dinneeeeeeeeeeeer!" someone shouted from afar.
"All right! Time to chow down!" Tosho said excitedly as he rushed out of the fighters lounge.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Tosho and his stomach have left the building," I said, causing Lucy and Lucky to laugh.
The common room was filled to the nines with smashers congratulating each other. It was just after dinner, and there was a small party being held for those who made it to the second round.
"I think I'm gonna go to bed…" I said as I yawned. That fight with Jigglypuff was exhausting, and I needed to rest for my fight the next day.
"Okay, goodnight Gorudo," Lucy said.
"Goodnight buddy!" Lucky said.
I started to leave the common room and head for the elevator that lead to the fighters' rooms when my brother waked up behind me and tapped me with his icy cold hand.
"I'm excited for tomorrow," he said.
"Yeah, so am I."
"You shouldn't be. You'll be fighting me. Goodnight!" he said as he walked away.
Yeah, wish me luck with the nightmares…
