Chapter 2: Prudent to Fight
"Oy! Roy, wait up!"
The frightening sound of Pichu's squeaky-like voice echoed in Roy's ears so much, he couldn't refuse his Pokemon friends' call to him. Finally, he turned around.
"Yes...Pichu what is it?" he answered quite lowly, but kindly.
"You shouldn't let what that Link guy said to you get to you like that!" he replied while finally catching up to him.
"Though, you should know you're the only one human that can understand me. I don't think anyone else can." Roy glanced up from Pichu to the ceiling. Why me? He thought in disgust.
"Well...that's just great. I can't believe it. About what Link said about me halluncinating. I don't hallucinate! And it's not my fault if he can't understand your language, Pichu. I guess I need to be slapped in the face a couple of times before I say anything to anyone about this little ordeal." Roy sighed alittle, as he sunk low on the ground, while his back slipped near a wall.
"It's okay, Roy. And nobody's going to slap you in the face, trust me. They won't lay a finger on you..." Pichu now sounded determined to protect. But who, was the question Roy wanted an answer to. Before he knew it, Pichu came closer to him, and cuddled him affectionately.
"You know...you're cuddly. Like a pillow," Pichu said softly, as he brushed himself into a ball of fluff and laid in Roy's lap again.
"Naturally...EVERYONE that has hugged me before has said that...so far, you're number a hundred and twenty." Roy shifted his body from Pichu's uncomfortable lightweight body was lying on him.
"I...am?" Pichu yawned slightly at the response from Roy, while closing his eyes sleepishly.
"Yep...eh? Are you tired?" Roy noticed the sleeping Pokemon on his lap, did not stir when he had asked the question. Guess so...he sighed alittle bit, while deciding not to move from his spot, lest he wake up Pichu. He looked around the mansion again, seeing the people around him. He took a good look around from his current postion. He saw Marth, still talking to Luigi, Link headed for the snack bar, where this noblewoman that had the same shape ears as he did and wearing a pink dress, was standing and talking to this other noblewoman, who also had a similar pink dress on as the other one did, but it was much wider and pink.
Gods...do ALL of the females here sport the color pink? And if they do, my gosh. Their rooms must be terrifying...Roy shook his head for a good moment. Then again, back at home, it's all about red for the ladies. He looked around some more, then stopped when he thought he saw another Pichu type looking creature come towards him, with another round pink looking thing next to it.
He stared at the oncoming creatures and shook his head, again. Goodness...again, with the pink. What is up with this pink? It's like trying to kill people here with it's malice filled instant rainbowness affects on the afterlife...Roy sighed heavily before attempting to wake his little buddy.
"Psst...Pichu. You might want to get up. I think I see another you and a round puffball thing coming our way..." Roy gently shook Pichu and whispered lightly in his ear. Then, suddenly, he heard a conversation that seemed to get louder with each step.
"Are you SURE you saw Pichu today, Jigglypuff?" said the other yellow creature to the pink one.
"Yes! I'm VERY sure I did, Pikachu! I saw him with this hotheaded redhead human, earlier. The guy looked as though he was going to blow his top off!" the pink creature had replied to the one beside it.
"That's absurd! Why would Pichu go ANYWHERE near a human nowadays?! He's just too scared to even try to kill one...or defeat one that tries to challenge him here!" the unwilling Pokemon came closer to Roy, as he kept listening.
"Anyways, he should be around here, somewhere." The pink Pokemon spoke again.
"Surely...his scent is getting closer...with another unfamilar one with his." the yellow Pokemon began sniffing the air.
"I bet you anything it HAS to be that human! What does he want with OUR little Pichu?!" the Pokemon drew nearer to him, as he looked at them carefully.
"I dunno, but he'll pay for trying to steal him away from us! Humans are always so...I don't know. They always want to catch us and treat us like dirt! I'll show them...I'll show them ALL!!" the yellow Pokemon sparked up tiny jolts of electricity that hit the ground very hard and almost toasted the pink one.
"Whoa...chill out, Pikachu! We'll find--Ah! There's Pichu!! Look! I see him!" The pink Pokemon started for Roy's direction.
"What?! WHERE!?" the yellow Pokemon looked in every other direction to see what was happening.
"Over here, silly!" the pink one cried out. The Pokemon shrugged and followed the pink Pokemon.
Holy crap...th...they're coming this way! What'd I do? What do I do?! Shit! Too late...!! Roy trembled in fear as they approached him.
"See, Pikachu? I toldja he was with that human!" the pink Pokemon stated and pointed to Roy.
"Gods, you were right...! Hey...Pichu...GET UP!!" the yellow one yelled quite loudly. Pichu opened his eyes and yawned again. Then he sat up with his head leaning onto Roy's chest. (actually breastplate since he was wearing his armor) He sighed and yawned again, "Hey...guys. What's up?" he said cheerfully.
"What's up? We've been looking for you ALL morning!!" Jigglypuff wailed.
"Yeah! And what's with the human, huh? I thought you DISLIKED humans?" the Pikachu slightly glared at Roy, then back up to Pichu.
"Oh...him. H...he's different! Than those other humans! He can understand us! He understood me when I was speaking to him, earlier! Promise!" Pichu sat up fully and jumped out of Roy's soft lap.
"Phft! HE?! A mere human CAN'T understand us Pokemon! We can understand them, but they'll never hear our cries for help! NEVER! Stop lying to me, Pichu." Pikachu had seemed to rant on about the subject matter. Roy wanted to get away as far as possible from the quarreling Pokemon, but he couldn't leave. They had him trapped and surrounded.
"I'm NOT lying, Pikachu! Please! Just listen to me! He can, right Roy?" Pichu turned hastily towards his friend who had the face of a confused fool that came from a different planet.
"Tch! This is a waste of time..." Jigglypuff began to pout.
"Tell me about it!" Pikachu snarled under his breath, "Well? Does the human understand what I'm saying, Pichu?" The little mouse turned around again, facing Pikachu with such determination again.
"Yes! He's...just shy! That's all!" he squealed loudly.
"Pichu, that hurt my ears." Roy finally spoke up with still a confused look upon his face, "But, nonetheless, Pikachu. I know what you're saying. You're just stereotyping humans, just like Pichu did earlier. And to much of your surprise, I heard your little conversation from afar." Roy shook his head to try to wring out the squeaky tones he heard from Pichu's wailing, then stood up to his full limit, towering the Pokemon with ease.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I'll need to register...er..sign in for the Smashers. I have to start working some time, you know." With that, Roy glided from the scene of the Pokemon and started for a rounded man wearing a red long sleeved shirt, blue overalls, and a red cap that had the letter 'M' inprinted on it, resembling Luigi earlier. Pikachu's eyes seemed to have shrunk into small pupils when he realized that Roy had been hearing all of their jabbering chit chat, and seemed to understand it all. No WAY! That human could..?! He's just saying that because he was trying to back up Pichu! Pikachu stared in shock at Roy's direction. Or...what if he DID understand all of us? The mouse Pokemon scratched his left ear for a long time, as if he was in a trance the whole time he was thinking.
"Umm...Pikachu? Hey!" Jigglypuff waved her hand in front of Pikachu's face, as if her hand was breaking his trance barrier.
"Huh? OH! What's wrong? What happened?!" Pikachu jumped in excitement when his trance was broken, finally. Then after a long while, noticed the situation and then said "oh".
"Goodness. You're just as helpless as Pichu sometimes, you know that?" she pouted again, this time, with anger in her voice.
"What? And I'm not helpless! It's just that-" Pikachu cut off his sentence when he felt a strange aura from afar.
"Eh? That-! No...it CAN'T be him!" Pikachu's fur raised in anger when he turned around to find a strange presence there.
"Who? Oh...no..." Jigglypuff copied Pikachu's trance and turned around, looking angry than before.
What was behind them, was a strange cat-like Pokemon that had caused most other Pokemon to go insane when he toyed with their minds. To every Pokemon, this was their very enemy beyond revenge.
"Oh, you Pokemon fools as just as fun to tease with as a piece of crumpled trash in the bag."it had seemed to transfer this message to their minds.
"Mewtwo, what do you want, now?" Pikachu growled furiously. Mewtwo noticed this and somehow, seemed to twitch his eye in anger.
"Hmph! Can't a Pokemon battle it out with another these days?!" he transferred his telepathic message to Pikachu again.
"No! So just go away!" the mouse bit his lip and snarled lowly.
"Pikachu! Please don't get him upset! Or you'll...get hurt!" Pichu walked to his brother and patted his back affectionately. "Please, brother?" Pikachu raised from his anger and stopped when he felt his little brother's saddened cry for him.
"Alright, Pichu. I...let's go get something to eat and ignore this fool over here, okay?" Pikachu sighed and turned his back on the agitated Mewtwo.
"Okay!" Pichu jumped up down excitedly and walked ahead of the others.
"Jigglypuff, are you in?" Pikachu turned to his best friend.
"Oh! I'd be delighted to join in! she said proudly, then followed behind Pikachu who was trying to catch up to Pichu. They left Mewtwo in disgust, just in a quick mintue or two. The pryly Pokemon looked at the three, then he looked around. I'll show them...ALL of them that I am the strongest Pokemon around. To prove this, I'll need to fight those meddlesome Pokemon...and their rat pack. Mewtwo thought of this carefully. Then, without much thought, he looked around to find what or who they were talking to earlier before he approached them. Where IS the human, anyways? He turned in every direction, and could not find Roy anywhere. He ran out of patience, so he turned to prepare a match.
"Here-a you-a go, Roy," Mario handed Roy his last packet to sign.
Gods...How much more do I have to sign?! Roy had whimpered in his mind. His hand and arm was getting painfully tired of signing endless packets of papers, that had seemed to have the same questions and words on them.
"You're-a almost done-a, son. Just-a get-a this last-a one signed-a, and-a then you're-a in-a." Mario pummeled through his speech to try to find the right words to say to the rookie swordfighter.
"I...alright." Roy had said, trying to hide his painful whimpering sounds. He sighed heavily when he got to the last page. Yes! Almost done!! he cheered in his mind. Of all do, he signed it quickly, then he handed Mario the packet.
"Here, Mario-san. I'm finished." he had said it quite happily, for he wanted Mario to take the god-forsaken packet out of his hands.
"Oh. That-a was quick!" Mario jumped from the chair he sat in and took the packet from Roy. "Alright-a, you're-a in! Now, I'll-a just-a have to-a give this to-a Master Hand-a." Roy looked at Mario in confusion. Who was this Master Hand he spoke of? And was it important to know him? If he ever existed.
"Um, excuse me, Mario-san. Who is this Master Hand?" Roy had asked in a low type of voice. "He's-a the 'boss' of-a all-a of us-a Smashers. He's-a the one we-a can see-a to hold-a matches and-a challenge others for-a our work-a. You need-a to see him-a if you want-a to fight-a or challenge someone-a to a fight-a." the Italian plumber had replied before disappearing from the Registeration Office. "I'll-a be back-a in a moment, so just-a wait-a here-a." With that, his footsteps slightly vanished from the presence of the office.
Roy was alone for a couple of mintues, until he heard another set of footsteps come from around the hallway. I wonder who that is? Is it...Mario? Already? Roy looked confused and turned towards the door. "M...Mario-san?" he studdered out his question in a loud enough voice for the hallway person to hear him. "My-a gosh-a! You DO have red-a hair-a!" a man that so closely resembled Mario, came from the hallway into the office room, stunned Roy with his appearing from nowhere.
"Ah! Ma...Mario-san?! You...changed your clothes?" Roy's face was totally filled with awe and confusion, as well as disappointment when he didn't speak up the first time he asked his question.
"No-a. I'm not-a Mario. I'm-a Dr. Mario. I'm-a the doctor here-a for-a the Healing processes." the man had taken Roy's hand. "Come-a on! You'll have to-a come outta here-a in anytime soon-a." the doctor helped Roy stand to his feet, which to Roy, thought it was unnecessary but figured to accept the kindness of the strange doctor, who still looked like Mario to him.
"So, Mewtwo, you say you want to have a team battle?" a floating hand had seemed to say telepathically to the prowling Pokemon, who had seemed delighted in his decision.
"Yes...So. It is scheduled for after the next meal?" the willing Pokemon had sent his message.
"Yes. Let the others have their fun first with the food, then, afterwards, I'll announce the fight." the floating hand, which had been the Master Hand, had replied. "You're dismissed now, Mewtwo." With that said, the Pokemon nodded in agreement, turned from the office room of the Master Hand and left eagerly. When he was far away enough, Mewtwo laughed in an evil kind of way, as if he was going to conquer the world with all his might and power.
