It only felt like a moment before Pit awoke to knocking on his door
It only felt like a moment before Pit awoke to knocking on his door. "C'mon, Pit. Please open up?" More knocking ensued. Pit heard the honesty in the voice but couldn't tell who it was. "Pit, please don't sulk in your room for the rest of the day." It called again. Pit shook his head to clear his thoughts, then got off the extremely comfy bed to answer the door. The knocking didn't stop until his visitor almost knocked on his nose.
"Oh, sorry." The visitor said. He had medium length blue hair that hung down to frame his face. The color complimented his ocean blue eyes as well. Hold some of his hair back was a gold headband with a green jewel on top. He wore a blue tunic and black pants. Slung across his hip was a basic sword with a blue hilt.
"Nah, It's alright." Pit responded. "Weren't you in armor before?"
The visitor looked down at what he was wearing, then back at Pit. "Yeah, but walking around is more comfortable without heavy armor and a cape." The two laughed together. "C'mon, let's go train with the others." Pit nodded and grabbed his bow.
As they started descending the stairs, Pit turned to the swordsman. "What's your name, anyway?"
"Oh, sorry. Forgot the introduction." The swordsman stuck out his hand. Pit took it. "I'm Marth."
"Pit." They nodded and continued down. "Hey," Pit started again, "weren't you one of the people laughing at me before?"
Marth frowned a bit. "Yeah, sorry about that."
Pit looked at him questioningly. "And what about the others? Will they accept you if you're my friend?"
Marth laughed a bit. "Of course. That group just teases the new guys to get to know them. It's kinda like an entrance ordeal everyone has to go through."
"Really?"
"Yup! Even Collin was made fun of for her name by Link." Marth responded.
"It is a very boyish name." Pit agreed. They were both laughing now.
As they reached the bottom of the stairs (Finally!), Pit turned to his newfound friend, Marth. "So, you said something about training?"
"Sure did." Marth opened a door to his right and beaconed Pit inside. There he could see a room with padded flooring and walls. On one side of the room was that Pokémon Trainer dude and his three pokéballs. Pikachu and Jigglypuff were cheering him on from the sidelines, and Charizard was the current Pokémon out. On the other side was Link, and he had Zelda, Ike (in all his silence), and Collin rooting for him.
Pit turned to Marth. "Link doesn't look like he's doing too good."
Marth nodded. "Yeah, but training is all about training your weaknesses out." Pit shrugged. They turned back to the fight just as Link threw a bomb at Charizard. Unfortunately for him, Charizard turned, caught the projectile with his tail, and whipped it back at Link. Link blocked it with his shield, but not before taking serious damage. Zelda, who was refing, called "Game! Winner: Pokémon trainer!" All of the Pokémon cheered, and the group went to surround Link.
Ike extended his hand for Link, who took it and was pulled into a standing position. "Good job." Ike said. Collin and the others nodded. After Pokémon Trainer dismissed the Pokémon, he came over to the group.
"Nice match Link." He said. "Fighting you was a challenge." They shook hands.
"What're you talking about? You didn't do any fighting at all." Link responded.
Pokémon trainer laughed. "True."
"Ya know, we need to get you a new name." Collin announced.
Pokémon Trainer looked at her. "Me?"
"Yeah." Zelda agreed.
"I mean, 'Pokémon Trainer'?" Link asked.
Pokémon Trainer laughed. "So, what do you guys suggest?"
"P-mon!" Collin piped up.
"Po-ner!" Link cheered. "Wait, that sounds too much like Pwner." The group laughed.
"I wouldn't mind that." Pokémon Trainer chuckled a bit.
"P.K.T.?" Zelda put in her idea.
"P-train?" Marth suggested.
Pokémon Trainer shook his head. "Ike, you got anything?"
"No."
"Ah." The soon to be named smasher nodded. "Well, if that's it-"
"How about Kémon?" Pit interrupted him. The group turned to look at him, then looked at each other. Pit blushed at the silence he had caused. Collin walked up to him and put an arm around his shoulders.
"Not bad birdie. I'm Collin."
"Ike."
"Link all the way!"
"Nice to meet you. I'm Zelda."
"And I'm the newly named Kémon." Kémon grinned. Pit grinned along with him at the sudden display of friendship from the group.
Marth walked up and put his arm around Pit's other shoulder. "Told ya."
Pit's smile got even bigger if that was possible. "Yes, yes you did."
"Hey, I wanna see Pit fight." Kémon spoke up.
"Yeah!" Link was excited.
"But who will fight him?" Collin asked.
"I will." Zelda volunteered. The others clapped for Zelda as she took her spot of the opposite side of the room.
"Ref!" Marth called as he stood in the middle of the floor.
Pit looked at the group around him. "I don't know if this is such a good-" he started.
"Go!" Collin yelled as she shoved him out onto the floor. Pit tripped a bit but managed to regain his balance just as Marth yelled "Begin!" And ran off to the side of the room.
"Din's Fire!" Zelda whispered as she summoned a large fireball. She fired the fast moving projectile at her still confused opponent.
Pit jumped back a bit, then started twirling his bow in front of him. It acted as a kind of mirror shield, throwing the projectile back at Zelda. She jumped out of the way just as Pit drew a light arrow and fired. Zelda summoned Naryu's love, a kind of diamond mirror shield, and the arrow bounced right back and hit Pit. He stumbled a bit.
Zelda didn't need to give him time to catch his breath as she went in for the kill. Zelda punched Pit, but he leaned out of it and countered with a simple slash from his bow. Zelda took a few steps back to regain her balance, but pit wouldn't let her. Instead, he pulled his bow apart into short swords and lunged at her. Zelda used her shield again and knocked Pit back with al the damage he had intended for her.
Back on the sidelines, Link and Kémon started cheering for Zelda. Marth, even though he was refing, called "god job" to both smashers.
Ike turned to Collin. "That bow splitting: isn't that similar to what you do?"
Collin nodded. "Many of his moves are similar to mine. But the way he moves is…different."
Ike blinked at her. "Noticing the way he moves? That may be a little too observant for watching just a friend fight."
Collin glared at him and punched him lightly in the shoulder. "Shaddap. It's not like that. Bird brain just floats a lot more than I do."
Ike shrugged and looked back at the fight, but he couldn't help taking a glance at Marth before doing so. Marth was leaning casually on the wall, occasionally cheering for the combatants. Ike could barely take his eyes off until something on the training floor made a crashing sound. He turned to find that Pit had gotten in a good shot with his swords and had knocked Zelda back into the wall.
"Zelda!" Link yelled.
"Oh my gosh I am so sorry!" Pit called as he ran to help her.
Zelda shook her head. "Stay back you too." They halted at the firm command.
"B-but princess…" Link tried to argue.
"For close-range, shouldn't you be using Sheik?" Marth called.
"Sheik?" Kémon and Collin turned to Ike.
Ike shrugged. "This is my first year here too guys."
"Sheik is Zelda's close range alter-ego." Marth called to them. The four newcomers (Kémon, Ike, Collin, and Pit) nodded.
Zelda shook her head. "If I don't have time to change into Sheik, I still need to be able to fight close-range."
"Yeah but-" Link started.
"That makes sense." Ike interrupted him. Link sighed in defeat.
"Okay, but don't push yourself too hard, the first round of the tournament is tomorrow." Zelda nodded to Link and stood up again, ready to fight.
"Are you sure?" Pit called. Zelda fixed him with a strong stare that said 'I'm ready now let's go.' Pit nodded and fired a light arrow at her. Zelda jumped over it and ran at him. Pit broke his bow again and started rapid slicing at the approaching Princess. She, in turn, started blocking his strikes and delivering quick punches, which Pit had to make an effort to block. The two were locked in combat until Pit made a long slash upwards and knocked her back. Zelda spun and vanished.
"Wha?" was all Pit had time for before the princess appeared behind him and released a large fireball. This time it was Pit who went flying. Pit opened his dove-like wings and managed to stop what seemed like an inevitable meeting of the wall and his face. He flapped a bit, then drew his bow and fired. Zelda vanished again, but this time came down on him with a somersaulting axe kick. Pit's face met the mat, and Marth called "Winner: Zelda!"
Zelda landed and extended her hand to the fallen angel. He took it gratefully.
"That was a nice kick." He said, smiling.
Zelda gave him an elegant smile back. "Thank you for training with me."
Now Pit had to grin. "Anytime, butt next time I won't go easy on you."
"Easy on her? She was wiping the floor with you!" Link laughed. Pit stuck his tongue out at the Hyrulian.
"You guys were awesome!" Kémon said, jumping up and down with the adrenalin rush.
"Yeah, good job to you both." Marth told them as he walked to the group. Ike nodded.
"Hey birdie." Collin called to Pit. "Maybe next time you won't let your opponent walk all over you."
Pit stuck his tongue out at her too. "Well, I don't see you on the training floor."
Collin looked at him. "I would take that challenge, but dinner's happening soon."
And just on que, Master Hand came over his magic loudspeaker. "Okay, all you smashers. Dinner! No Crazy! Wait!"
"Shall we go?" Ike indicated towards the door. Zelda smiled and walked past the commander and knight. A little less gracefully, Kémon, Link, Collin and Pit rushed out the door, yelling "Food!" Marth chuckled at the others antics.
Ike walked to the door and held it open. "After you Prince Marth." Marth smiled at him and walked into the hallway, Ike following right behind.
Moon: Holy crap. PLOT.
Review please. if anyone suggests a better name for Pokémon Trainer, I'll use it. And I WILL NOT NAME HIM ASH.
