Ice Climbers VS Pichu
Pichu was dropped off by a bright light onto the right side of Pokemon Stadium 2. The massive crowd surrounding the arena cheered loudly. Pichu laid on his side and wiggled around cutely causing the crowd to both laugh and applaud.
Another bright light erupted from nothingness and dropped off the Ice Climbers on the platform floating over the left side of the battlefield. The crowd of people didn't recognize them, but assumed they were ice pokemon from how they looked.
"So that mouse thing is our opponent?" asked Popo.
"Looks that way." replied Nana.
"He doesn't look very strong."
"We probably shouldn't underestimate him."
"3...2...1...GO!"
Upon hearing the announcers voice the Ice Climbers jumped off of their platform and shot a pair of Ice Shots at Pichu.
The electric mouse zoomed out of the way at incredible speeds, before either climber knew they had missed Pichu had landed on Popo's back and started charging him full of electricity. Nana tried to knock Pichu away with her mallet but the tiny rat dodged the attack by jumping into the air. Pichu then dived down and started to spin like a drill while surrounding his body with electricity.
Nana side-stepped the attack and smacked Pichu with her mallet sending him flying to the other side of the arena. The climbers then both shot a blizzard out of their hands turning half the arena to ice and covering Pichu in snow.
Pichu got up and rubbed the snow off of his eyes. When his vision cleared he saw his enemies spinning at him with their mallets outward. The attack hit and sent Pichu into the air. Once airborn the mouse used his Agility to shoot through the air like a bullet and landed on the other side of the arena. He turned towards the Ice Climbers and started to glow.
"PI...PIIIIII...PIIIIIICHUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Lightning bolts shot out of Pichu's cheeks towards the ice climbing duo and shocked them with hundreds of volts of electricity. The entire stadium was lit up like a lightbulb due to the light eminating off the awesome attack. The crowd was actually able to feel their hair stand up from the static energy floating through the air.
Once the attack was finished the ice climbers were as black as coal and were hot. Not hot as in good looking, no, more like hot as in so burnt smoke was actually rising off of their bodies.
"Ow...ow...ow...ow"
"Shut up Popo..."
"...ow."
"Hey Popo, do you notice something weird about Pichu?"
"Besides the fact he just fried the both of us?"
"Look at him..."
Popo stopped squinting his eyes in pain and looked at his foe. Pichu was holding his cheeks and whimpering, burnt marks covered his body.
"Popo, I think he hurt himself with the attack."
"I'm more concerned that he hurt us."
Nana smacked Popo with her hammer. "Popo! Stop complaining and think for a second! If he can hurt himself with his attacks we may have found a weakness!"
"...Screw it. I'm just gonna hit him with my hammer."
Popo dashed towards the rat, and before Nana could object she was pulled along by the tether that connected them. Popo reached Pichu in no time and smacked him off the stadium with his weapon.
"...I cant believe that worked.." said Popo, amazed that he had defeated Pichu with such a simple attack.
"It didn't." said Nana as she saw Pichu use his Agility and dash over them onto the other side of the arena.
"PI...PIIII..."
"Not again!" yelled Popo as he dived behind Nana.
"Don't hide behind ME!" yelled Nana, more angry at her partner than she had been the entire day.
Before Pichu could unleash another barrage of lightning the stadium started to shake. The surprise interrupted his attack causing the energy he had been building up to shock himself. To make matters worse the electricity also paralyzed him.
As Pichu lay on the ground paralyzed, the Ice Climbers watched dumbfounded as the entire stadium began to change.
Yoshi had taken a break from talking to other contestants and was now curiously sniffing the Dr. Mario trophy.
"Hey Master Hand!" called Yoshi.
The gigantic Hand floated towards the green dinosaur.
"Yes Yoshi? Is something wrong?"
"Whats this little trophy thing?"
"Oh, that. A trophy version of each contestant defeated will appear. Just something to remember those who have been destroyed."
"Destroyed?" Yoshi didn't like the way Master Hand had said that.
"Just an expression. All defeated contestants have been sent home safely." said the hand, accidentally letting out a small chuckle as he did.
Yoshi stared at Master Hand. There was just something about the glove that made Yoshi feel...in danger.
Yoshi took a deep sniff of air and got some of Master Hand's scent. The dragon quickly crouched into a fighting position with his teeth showing. Yoshi started growling loudly and got ready to pounce at the floating hand.
Master Hand snapped his fingers and Yoshi fell unconcious. The hand looked left and right by shifting his body( or at least what body he had) to make sure no contestants had seen what happened.
"Good." thought the Hand as he floated away. If anyone asked he would just tell them Yoshi had taken a nap. The dragon would forget the whole discussion they had once he woke up.
"Look out!" yelled Popo to his pink wearing partner. The duo had leapt high into the air to avoid another attack from Pichu. Once the rat had become paralyzed it had to attack by shooting electricity behind him to propel him forward. Pichu had been using this electrified version of Headbutt to persue and attack the Ice Climbers.
However the stadium had changed to Fly type allowing Popo and Nana to avoid all of his attacks easily by jumping high into the air. They were more worried about the mean looking Skarmory that had appeared than Pichu's attacks.
Pichu had finished charging electricity and once again shot towards the climbers. However instead of dodging Popo swung his hammer and hit Pichu's skull. The force behind their attacks sent both of them flying backward.
Popo flew off the arena but grabbed the edge and was helped backed up by Nana. Pichu had been sent straight into the skarmory.
Now, this skarmory did not like to be hit by projectile Pichus. What he did not like even more was to be hit by electrically charged projectile Pichus while they were using heabutt. The metal bird screeched loudly and rose high into the air.
Pichu felt the paralysis finally wear off and quickly got up, ready to fight the Ice Climbers properly once again.
The skarmory dove down.
Pichu heard the familiar, horrible wooshing sound of a Fly attack and looked up to see Skarmory heading straight towards him.
"PICHU!" the tiny mouse screamed in fear and dashed out of the way just before the Skarmory had reached him.
The steel-flying type pokemon turned around and chased after Pichu. Using its superior speed it reached Pichu in no time and began to peck the poor little creature. It immediately stopped doing this once Pichu used a Thunderbolt, being made of steel did not give much resistance to electricity. However it only stopped attacking for a second before bearing the pain and resuming the pecking attack on Pichu.
The Ice Climbers watched from a safe distance as Pichu fired bolt after bolt of electricity into the skarmory that was currently pecking away at the tiny creature.
"Do you think we should just let them fight it out?" asked Popo.
"I think it would be better if we just end this now." replied Nana as she held her hands towards the battling pokemon.
Pichu and Skarmory were covered by a blizzard and frozen in a massive block of ice.
Nana let her hands down, satisfied from the results of her blizzard attack. "I should have just done that from the beginning."
A cracking sound came from the ice that trapped the pair of pokemon. A large crack appeared on the ice, and was growing larger each moment. The skarmory burst out of the ice and soared towards Nana. She tried to avoid it but the skarmory was able to put a large cut on her back with it's Steel Wing. Popo shot an Ice Shot at the bird but it avoided and tackled Popo to the ground. Nana hit the bird in the back with her hammer and it was knocked away from Popo. It turned around and started flapping it's wings causing a Sand-Attack to burst from the ground and blind the Climbers. The skarmory then flew into the cloud of sand and used it's Aerial Ace attack to attack the Climbers, never missing due to its Keen Eye.
Pichu slowly climbed out of the shattered pile of ice and flopped onto the ground. The shivering mouse stood up and saw the others fighting. He then ran towards the other side of the arena and hid behind a crate that had mysteriously appeared.
The skarmory blew away the sand (and the Ice Climbers) with a Gust attack. The Climbers soared into the air, the skarmory flew up to them and used Sky Attack multiple times, leaving many cuts on the bodies of the climbers.
The beaten pair fell to the ground, the second they hit the surface of the stadium they got up and sprinted away from the skarmory.
The metal bird gave chase and soared towards it's prey. It just barely missed the Climbers as they rolled out of its way causing it to fly into a crate. The crate was destroyed leaving a flipper, a pokeball, a heart container, and a bat. The skarmory soared past these items, knocked the hiding Pichu out of its way, turned around and tried to attack the Ice Climbers once again. It flew over an Ice Shot sent by Popo, but realized too late that it was a distraction for Nana's Ice Shot and was hit in the face.
Steel was resistant to Ice, which let the bird continue on with barely a scratch. The Ice Climbers rolled out of the way once again and dashed towards the items. Popo picked up the pokeball and Nana picked up the flipper. Nana threw the flipper at the skarmory but it avoided it, and the flipper began to float pointlessly on the other side of the stadium. Popo threw the pokeball and it landed in front of Skarmory, Suicune emerging from it.
The skarmory tried to avoid it but it was flying too fast to stop or dodge in time. It collided with Suicune.
The Suicune let a gigantic Blizzard attack loose, covering the skarmory in snow and ice and cutting it's metal hide with speeding winds.
Nana grabbed the bat and ran into the blizzard, her resistance to cold and her warm parka making it feel as if the blizzard wasn't even there. The tether was long enough to leave Popo outside as he began to watch the stadium change once again.
The Suicune ceased its attack and disappeared, the injured skarmory glanced around and saw that the stadium had changed to Ice mode. He then saw Nana standing in front of him winding up the bat for a home-run.
She smacked the skarmory so hard the bat broke in half, the metal bird was sent flying out of sight.
The stadium change had forced Pichu to come out of wherever he had been hiding and into the open. Popo and Nana quickly saw him and began grinning menacingly.
"Hey Nana."
"Yeah Popo?"
"Doesn't being surrounded by cold and ice increase our powers?"
Pichu stopped shivering and was now frozen in fear (pun not intended).
"It sure does Popo. Ready to finish this fight?"
"I thought you would never ask."
Popo put his hands on the ground and a pillar of ice shot out of the ground under Pichu, knocking him into the air. Nana then pointed her finger towards Pichu and made a gun shape with her hand. It started firing off snowballs like a machine-gun, each one hitting Pichu.
Unfortunately for Pichu these snow balls had chunks of very hard ice in the center of them.
Pichu's beaten body fell to the ground. He felt a great pain in his back and shot off of the ground using his agility. A tiny spike had jutted out of the ground and stabbed him in the back. Suddenly hundreds of ice spikes emerged out of the ground and they all began to grow bigger. Pichu wall-jumped off the sides of the spikes doing his best to avoid being stabbed.
The ice spikes began to move and chased after Pichu. Pichu had to use the best of his reflexes to avoid being impaled. He started making his way towards the climbers when he was shot by a blizzard attack from Nana and frozen solid.
Pichu stared out of the ice, after all that he would still lose. He always had to lose. He had never won a battle in his entire life, no wonder trainers always threw him away. Right now Pichu was desperate to win.
"I guess I could always use...that attack." Pichu thought to himself, "The energy required would kill me if I used it, but if I can beat the Ice Climbers before I die then it wouldn't matter..."
Popo and Nana did a high-five, happy about their victory when the block of ice containing Pichu shattered. Pichu floated in the air, surrounded by the energy he was using for Volt Tackle. He shot towards the climbers faster than he had ever moved before. He went straight for Popo and hit him in the stomach. He continued pushing forward like an electric canon-ball until he ripped right through Popo's stomach and out the other side.
"Popo!" Nana screamed.
Pichu turned around and went for Nana, she jumped out of the way and shot a blizzard at the mouse but the electric energy surrounding Pichu destroyed the attack before it even reached its target. Pichu turned around again and tried to attack Nana once more.
Nana put her hands on the ground and summoned a wall of ice in front of her.
Pichu ripped through it like it was paper.
Nana ducked under Pichu's attack as he soared over her, she picked up Popo and sprinted away.
"PIIIIIIIIII...CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The tiny mouse screamed and shot towards the pair of climbers. Nana rolled away from the attack but Pichu turned around faster than she expected. She threw her hammer forward with all the force she could and knocked Pichu off of the stadium.
Nana watched as the massive electrical energy turned her hammer to ash.
Pichu began to fall but used his Volt Tackle energy to somehow fly under the arena and appear on the other side. Nana hadn't noticed, an attack from behind would finish her and if she heard him coming she had lost her weapon anyway. Pichu shot forward at near-sonic speeds but stopped as he felt a light tap to the head.
He hadn't noticed the flipper that had been floating in front of him and had accidentally ran into it. The strange floating device somehow absorbed the electricity from his Volt Tackle, and it then lightly knocked Pichu away, off of the arena once again. Without Volt Tackle energy to support him Pichu quickly fell to his doom.
Nana never even noticed.
"This games winner is...the Ice Climbers!" shouted the announcer as Nana picked up the nearby Heart Container and used it to heal the barely living Popo. The two of them waved at the cheering crowd before being taken away by a burst of light.
Author's Note: Sorry for the long delay, but this chapter is finally up. I'll try to be faster with updates from now on.
Skarmory is my favorite pokemon. :)
For those of you who aren't big on the pokemon series, the attacks Skarmory used were all pokemon attacks.
Also, Ice Shot and Blizzard are the names of two of the Ice Climbers B attacks in Melee, so don't get them confused with pokemon attacks. And I will be using some of the stages planned to be in Brawl if I feel like it (although from this chapter you probably knew that already)..
Personally I like the last chapter a bit more than this one but...oh well. I really hope you like it.
