Hello. I got a lot of really positive responses for the last chapter. I'm glad everybody liked it. I had a question about the Team Final Smashes and if they would be different if say Luigi got it instead of Snake. Well, in this world, it always goes to the instinctive primary, and even if it went to the secondary, it wouldn't be different. I thought about it, but there are enough combinations without adding that into it as well. Some bright news, I planned out every character's use through the first time, so it should make writing a bit easier. Thank you to all of the reviewers, readers, and all the Team Final Smash ideas. As always, I do not own Smash Bros., but if Sakarai were to steal my moves, (and for the sake of the game I hope he does) I wouldn't mind some credit. Enjoy.


The smashers were settling down into their chairs. Master Hand was about to announce the next brawl. Master Hand came away from the Character Selector.

"All right," Master Hand stated, "I have selected the next fighters. The Green Team will be... Donkey Kong!"

A large whoop was heard from the ape as he beat on his chest. Diddy was hopping backing and forth next to Donkey clapping.

"And his partner..." Master Hand started, "...Diddy Kong!"

Even louder cheers and whoops burst forth from the monkeys now. DK and Diddy were clapping hands back and forth, almost like a monkey version of patty cake. Master Hand was "clapping" as well.

"Yes, congratulations Kongs." Master Hand said. "And now, their opponents, the Blue Team... starting with...Pikachu!"

"Pika-Pi-KA!" Pikachu said happily, tiny volts dancing out of its cheeks.

"And his partner...Lucario!" Master Hand proclaimed. Lucario stood up and stretched his limbs. His aura flared around him as he approached Pikachu.

"So Pikachu," Lucario started, "We are partners. We should discuss some strategy."

"No time!" Master Hand chimed in merrily. "It's time for the match to begin! Contestants, pick your stage!"

The Kongs approached the screen. Diddy jumped up and slapped the Jungle Japes panel, then gave Donkey Kong a high five. Lucario calmly pressed the panel for Pokemon Stadium 2. The teleporters popped open and Master Hand ushered the smashers forward. Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard, and Jigglypuff were all making their respective noises for Lucario and Pikachu. Mario and Luigi were clapping for Donkey and Diddy.

"Since we-a were rivals in-a the past," Mario said to DK, "I'm-a expecting a-good things from you now."

"Just don't forget who your current rival is." Sonic said stepping next to Mario.

"I haven't-a forgotten about you hedgehog." Mario responded.

DK, Diddy, Lucario, and Pikachu all disappeared into their respective teleporters. Master Hand rose over the crowd.

"This will be a two stock match! The only items will be Team Smash Balls! It will take place at Pokemon Stadium 2!"

The Brawl Screen enlarged to fill the room.


The Pokemon Battle Theme started playing over the speakers as two red barrels labeled DK came spiraling towards the stage. The barrels shattered on arrival and out popped Donkey and Diddy Kong. A pokeball hit the stage and out popped Pikachu. Lucario teleported in, his aura surging around him. READY!...GO! The match was underway. Pikachu began sending his Thunder Jolts across the stage while Lucario began charging his Aura Sphere. DK jumped onto the platform on the left side while Diddy countered the Thunder Jolts with peanuts from his pop gun. DK attempted to stomp Pikachu from the air, but Pikachu rolled backwards to doge the massive monkey feet. Lucario launched his aura sphere forward which connected with DK. DK fell backwards. As he did so, Diddy jumped off of him and Monkey Flipped onto Lucario. He grabbed Lucario by the face and began pounding on him. Lucario reached up with his hands and tried to pry Diddy free. But Diddy held fast and refused to let go. Pikachu charged a head butt and flew forward. Lucario read Pikachu's thoughts and turned his body in time to let the mouse collide with the monkey. Diddy flew off into Donkey Kong, who in one swift movement, caught Diddy and hurled him back at Pikachu. Diddy flipped in the middle of the throw and grabbed Pikachu now, punching the mouse while he was latched on.

"Stop that!" Lucario said as he used his Force Palm to blast Diddy off of Pikachu. DK came up next to the Pokemon and began to beat on the ground with his hand slap. The two Pokemon were vaulted into the air. They came back down and were tossed again by the seismic vibrations. They came down a third time. Pikachu was launched back up again, but Lucario activated Double Team. Donkey's hand smacked Lucario who split into two. Lucario appeared behind DK and slid into him. DK was knocked away, allowing Pikachu to land safely. Diddy was on the right side of the stage. He pulled out his PPG (Peanut Pop Gun) and fired it. Lucario caught the slow moving peanut easily. He flipped it into his mouth and ate it.

"Not bad", Lucario thought as he chewed on the morsel. Pikachu had begun charging his head butt again. Smoke began billowing from the ground as Pikachu gathered energy. Donkey Kong, who was beside Diddy now, picked up his little buddy and began swinging him in a circle. As Pikachu launched forward, DK threw Diddy forward. The two smashers collided by the head, both of them shooting in the direction from whence they came. DK and Lucario watched their respective partners sail away and then turned to each other. DK beat on his chest and hollered. Lucario drew back on his hind leg.

"Behold the aura!" Lucario stated. Lucario and DK ran at each other. DK threw his foot out which Lucario small hopped over. Lucario kicked downwards towards DK, but DK ducked the kicks above him. DK waited until Lucario finished his second kick and threw both his hands upwards into a large clap. Lucario used Extreme Speed to zoom to the ground behind DK. Lucario swept the monkey off his feet and then kicked him into the air. Lucario jumped after DK, but DK back kicked Lucario away from him. Lucario landed on the ground hunched over, giving Pikachu the perfect opportunity to leap off his back into the air. DK began his Spinning Kong in the air. Pikachu leaned back, Donkey Kong's large fists whiffing over his stomach as he was in the middle of his aerial back flip. Pikachu dropped under DK quickly while the monkey was still spinning. Pikachu raised his tiny arms and called to the heavens.

"PIKA!" Pikachu called. A large storm cloud formed above Pikachu and hurled a bolt of lightning to the earth. The lightning crashed through DK whose entire body flashed white. DK went spiraling off to the side where Diddy had returned. Diddy leaped off the stage after the stunned DK and grabbed him by the wrist. Diddy activated his Rocket Barrel Boost and fired upwards with DK. He landed both of them on the stage safely. DK patted him on the back... and then pushed him out of the way as Lucario's Aura Sphere went burning past. Diddy jumped to the left platform and charged his PPG. He fired a fully charged peanut at Lucario. Thinking that it was another harmless peanut, Lucario put his hand out. The peanut zoomed past Lucario's hand and clocked him between the eyes. Lucario saw tiny Pokeballs rolling around in front of his eyes as he fell onto his back. Pikachu gave Lucario a small jolt which snapped the aura master out of his daze.

"Thank you, Pikachu." Lucario said. He turned his attention to DK who just finished charging his Giant Punch. Diddy had just finished eating a banana and tossed the peel on the ground in the center of the stage. Lucario and Pikachu ran at the Kongs. Diddy jumped over Pikachu and spiked him downwards. Pikachu hit the ground and stood up, only to trip on the banana peel. Diddy landed and smacked him off the stage. Lucario grabbed Diddy and held him up. Diddy Kong looked past Lucario's shoulders and closed his eyes tight. Lucario turned around into a giant punch from DK. Lucario went sailing off the edge. DK charged another punch while Lucario and Pikachu recovered. The entire stage flashed red.

The Team Smash Ball appeared near the edge Lucario and Pikachu landed on. The monkeys let out cries of shock as Lucario stepped forward to smash the ball. As he did, Lucario began traveling backwards.

"What?" the aura pokemon thought. The stage had begun to transform, a treadmill emerging beneath Lucario and sending him backwards. Lucario began to run to compensate for the treadmill. Pikachu was running on it to, as were the Kongs on the other side. The treadmills increased their speed, both teams exerting a lot of energy, but not getting anywhere due to the increased speed. The red orb floated happily in the middle area between both treadmills.


"What's making the treadmills so much faster?" Link asked.

"Good question!" Master Hand commented.

"Maybe there is a glitch in the stage matrix?" Fox suggested.

"Hah!" Sonic commented, "Even so, those treadmills wouldn't be a problem for me. I can walk faster than that!"

"Quit-a your bragging!" Mario said, "We all know you are-a faster than the rest of us." Mario picked up a handful of popcorn and threw it in his mouth.

Sonic zoomed by and caught the kernels before they entered Mario's mouth and ate them himself. "And don't you forget it!" Sonic said proudly, eating Mario's popcorn.

"One-a these days hedgehog!" Mario said "BANG! ZOOM! Straight to the edge barrier!"


All of the combatants, tired of running on the treadmills, leapt into the air. DK did the Spinning Kong towards the Smash Ball and Diddy fired a peanut. Lucario launched a small aura sphere and Pikachu did a thunder jolt. None of these attacks connected as the Smash Ball floated off to the high right. Pikachu ran to get under it and activated Thunder. But Pikachu was sliding on the treadmill and the thunder bolt missed. Diddy Kong charged his Rocket Barrel Boost to full power. Lucario leapt at the descending smash ball as Diddy blasted off. Diddy missed the smash ball but collided right into Lucario, knocking him far away. Diddy himself landed helpless on the treadmill which dragged him off the edge. As Diddy and Lucario were busy recovering, DK and Pikachu went for the orb. The ground shifted as the treadmills disappeared.

The ball floated towards the center again where Pikachu dove for it. He gave the ball a smack with his head, spinning the orb in place. Pikachu looked up into DK's fist. Pikachu ducked as DK did his Giant Punch over Pikachu's head. He may have missed the rodent, but DK broke the smash ball with a direct hit. Red energy burst forth across the battlefield. DK absorbed the primary energy as the secondary flew into Diddy. Lucario landed near Pikachu and he pulled his hand back for a Force Palm. The bright red energy surged into DK who slammed the ground in front of him with both fists. Lucario and Pikachu were frozen as they were launched into the air.

The entire stage changed. Lucario and Pikachu seemed to be in limbo, floating in the air. Pokemon Stadium had disappeared and they were surrounded by green trees and a jungle. Suddenly, strange music began playing. It was the opening music for the original Donkey Kong Country. Diddy and DK appeared seemingly floating above Lucario and Pikachu. Diddy clapped his hands as DK beat his chest. They gave each other a high five and a monkey cry (Jungle Hijinks)! DK and Diddy disappeared, the background changing to show a large wooden box with a painting of a rhino head on it. Rambi the Rhino came charging across the screen and ran through Pikachu and Lucario. The painting on the box changed to a frog face. Winky the Frog landed on top of the two Pokemon, croaked, and leapt away.

The painting became a swordfish as Enguarde the Swordfish swam by, spearing the Pokemon. The painting became a large bird as Expresso the Ostrich ran by kicking Lucario and Pikachu. Next it was a parrot, and Squawks the Parrot flew by, coughing several nuts into the air which landed on the Pokemon. Then the painting was a snake as Rattly the Rattlesnake hopped on screen and jumped on Pikachu and Lucario's head several times and then left. The painting was a spider next. A large web spread over the Pokemon and Squitter the Spider came down the web. He traversed the large web, launching several smaller webs at his foes from all angles. Squitter scurried off as the painting became an elephant. Ellie the Elephant came on and sprayed water from her trunk all over the duo. Next was a seal as Clapper the Seal appeared. He spit his breath onto the soaked foes, freezing them in place. He left as the painting became a tiny bird. Parry the Parakeet flapped on and pecked the ice apart with his beak.

The box painting disappeared and was replaced with a small homey room. Wrinkly Kong came flying by, carried by banana birds and swept by the Pokemon, each bird pecking at them. The room changed into a circus tent. Swanky Kong came floating past in his barrel. He tossed several mini-game balls at Lucario and Pikachu as he sailed by. The tent turned into a Save Barrel as Candy Kong walked on and blew the two Pokemon a large kiss which zapped them. The Save Barrel turned into a Pizza Hut looking shack. Funky Kong zoomed by in his barrel plane and smacked into the duo. The shack became a cabin as Old Cranky Kong came swishing through the stage on his rocking chair. Cranky slowly rocked back and forth, dragging his chair over his foes. The background became a large DK barrel and Dixie Kong came spiraling down towards her foes. She spun through them very slowly, her hair smacking them each time. The DK barrel remained when Kiddie Kong came rolling through like a bowling ball. He struck them once and turned around and struck them again.

Finally, DK and Diddy reappeared above Lucario and Pikachu. Donkey Kong and Diddy had a large barrel between them labeled "TNT". The two primates tossed the lit barrel onto the two Pokemon. The barrel erupted in a massive explosion. The music had ceased and the alternate world disappeared. Lucario and Pikachu appeared on Pokemon Stadium 2, each with ridiculous damage on them, and each screaming off towards the edge barriers, both smashers getting knocked out. Time returned to normal as DK and Diddy taunted.


All of the smashers jaws were dropped.

"Wow..." was all Marth could muster to say. Pit and Red were both drooling slightly from their mouth being open for so long.

"Unbelievable ..." Sonic said softly.

"You okay Bowser?" Zelda asked.

"Monkeys..." was all Bowser could respond.


Lucario and Pikachu came down off of their life platforms. Lucario stretched out and Pikachu charged a couple volts through his cheeks.

"That was phenomenal." Lucario said, "But this match is not over yet."

"Pikachu!" Pikachu chimed in. Both he and Lucario charged at the monkeys who charged at the Pokemon in kind.

"Well," Lucario thought as he punched Diddy in the face, "At least they have a lot of damage on them. This shouldn't be too terrible."

DK attacked Lucario with a Giant Punch, but Lucario dashed behind him with Extreme Speed. He landed back to back with the monkey and began charging his Aura Sphere. DK got caught in the charge was receiving extra damage, unable to escape the aura sphere's circumference. Diddy landed in front of Lucario and swung his arms at him. But Diddy was pulled backwards by an electric field. Pikachu had begun spinning on the ground creating a voltage field that drew Diddy in. Diddy was zapped and tossed away. Diddy activated his Rocket Barrel Boost and soared back onto the stage. From the angle he was at, Diddy had no choice to soar straight over Pikachu's head. Pikachu called down his Thunder attack. Diddy was zapped and blasted off-stage and through the left edge barrier.

Lucario turned away from DK with his fully charged Aura Sphere. DK pulled his palms back and swung forward hoping to catch Lucario between his hands. Lucario raised his arms and was smashed between DK's hands. Lucario split on either side of DK and slid into him from behind. DK flew almost to the edge barrier. DK jumped and prepared his Spinning Kong, but Lucario wouldn't let him return this time. Lucario jumped and launched his Aura Sphere. It connected with DK and finished the monkey off. Lucario landed gently and he and Pikachu gave each other a nod.

Diddy was waiting on his life platform for DK to return. DK dropped beside Diddy and the two monkeys went after the Pokemon. Pikachu charged his cheeks and shot an electric beam forward. DK blocked it with his shield. DK used his long arms to grab Pikachu. He slammed him on the ground and then raised him above his head. DK walked toward the edge with his victim. Lucario jumped towards them but was caught with a peanut in the gut. Lucario quickly ducked to dodge another peanut. Meanwhile, DK jumped off the stage. He descended below the platform and tossed Pikachu forward. DK jumped in time to grab the ledge.

"Pikachu!" Lucario said. He grabbed Diddy Kong and tossed him off the edge after Pikachu, hoping the bait would work. Pikachu used Quick-Attack to get within range of the ledge that Diddy had now grabbed. Pikachu used his mouth to bite Diddy's tail and hold on. Diddy cried out and threw Pikachu onto the ledge and off of his tail. Lucario grabbed Pikachu and stood behind him. Pikachu began charging electricity while Lucario was summoning aura to him. Lucario pushed his aura into Pikachu who flew across the stage. Diddy ducked the mouse and Pikachu soared over him. As Pikachu flew into DK, the monkey pulled back with his head and slammed Pikachu to the ground with a massive head butt. Pikachu hit the ground in a daze.

DK pounded on the ground with his hand slap, knocking Pikachu into the air. DK raised his arms above his head to follow up with a clap when he lost his footing. The stage was shifting again. The stadium turned into the rock field. A large dirt mound on the left side and a couple of mining shelves on the right appeared. Diddy used this opportunity to do a cartwheel into Lucario. Lucario flew up and landed on the mining shelves. Lucario stood up, only to have Diddy spike him down to the lower level. Diddy dropped down to pounce on Lucario who was on his back on the ground. Lucario used his legs to monkey flip (no pun intended) Diddy over his head. Diddy popped up with an angry look on his face. A red flash popped over the stage. The Team Smash Ball flew straight up out of the middle ground and into the air.

All the smashers scrambled to get it. Diddy jumped for it only to be knocked aside by Pikachu in the air. DK jumped off the falling Diddy to smack away Pikachu. Lucario jumped off Pikachu and kicked DK away, then jumped further upward to get the smash ball. Lucario gave it a hard kick towards the left side of the stage. All the smashers ran and jumped for the left side of the dirt mound trying to keep the others from getting the ball. Diddy reached the ball and smacked it down to the ground where DK gave it a hard smack as well. The ball didn't break but floated out to the left, over the void. The smashers began wrestling with each other to keep the others down. Pikachu shocked Diddy in the face, but DK grabbed him by the tale and slammed him on the ground. DK fell onto Pikachu to keep him pinned, while Lucario grabbed Diddy and pinned him down the same way.

Lucario rolled into DK and Pikachu tried to go to the side of Diddy. The brawlers ended up in a big pile on the left side of the dirt mound. Pikachu was on the very bottom, with Diddy mostly beside him but slightly on top of him. Lucario was squished on top of the two with DK mostly on top minus Lucario's limbs entangling him. The smashers stopped struggling with each other to watch the Team Smash Ball float up from the stage right in front of their noses. It lazily floated up the dirt mound, as if it were scaling it.

"Pikachu closed his eyes and gave a small "Chu!" which sent a tiny thunder jolt out of his cheeks. The jolt bounced along the ground, up the dirt mound to the scaling smash ball. Lucario and Pikachu gasped and DK and Diddy gave a small cry as the jolt bounced on top of the smash ball...which floated through the dirt mound's center. DK and Diddy sighed in relief as Pikachu and Lucario groaned in disappointment. The Thunder Jolt obliviously bounced over the top of the dirt mound and down the other side. The smash ball floated through the right side of the mound as the Thunder Jolt bounced down on top of it. It zapped the ball open. Red energy exploded from the ball into Pikachu and Lucario. Lucario was the primary receiver with Pikachu as the secondary.

Lucario activated it immediately. "Watch the power of Pokemon!" Lucario said as he teleported out of the pile, as did Pikachu. They both appeared in the center of the stage, Lucario five feet to the right of center and Pikachu five feet to the left of center. Lucario pulled his arms back as his whole body was raging with aura. Pikachu was tightening his body into a ball, electricity pouring out of his cheeks and enveloping him.

Lucario yelled, "Aura Tackle!" Lucario jumped to the exact center of the stage as Pikachu zoomed below him. Pikachu's energy erupted around him, forming the Voltage Ball. Lucario threw his hands down, an Aura Storm pouring forth from them. The Aura Storm hit the Voltage Ball, and a thin layer of aura spread from the storm stream and surrounded the ball. Lucario swung his weight and storm stream to the left. The Voltage Ball, now attached to the end of the storm stream, swung to the left as well. It was a couple of feet in front of Lucario. The monkeys screeched and tried to run away from the ball. Lucario pushed the stream out, which extended and pushed the ball into the monkeys. Both monkeys were zapped apart, DK flying up and to the right and Diddy flying down and to the left. Lucario followed DK with the stream and slammed the ball into him again. DK was spiked and hit the ground hard, right in front of Lucario.

Lucario shortened the stream and pulled the ball in to collide with DK again. As DK soared away again, Lucario turned toward the returning Diddy via his Rocket Barrel Boost. Lucario pushed the stream out extending the ball to Diddy's location. Diddy shot over the ball safely. Lucario raised the stream catching Diddy in the storm stream. Diddy was stunned and stuck in the stream. He received damage as if he were in an Aura Storm. But that wasn't all. The stream was pushing Diddy towards the Voltage Ball while damaging him. Diddy took damage from the stream which pushed him into the Voltage Ball. Diddy was shocked and blasted off towards the edge barrier. Diddy jumped just before the edge and fired up his Rocket Barrel Boost again, but Lucario brought Pikachu down upon Diddy hard, spiking him straight down into the abyss and knocking him out.

Lucario pulled the ball back into short range and swung it to the right. Lucario pushed the ball at DK who dodged on the ground as the ball sailed past him. But DK couldn't dodge the stream which he became trapped in. Lucario dragged the stream above his head. But unlike a normal aura stream which has to be kept on a foe to hold them, this stream dragged DK with it when it moved. DK was pushed out to the ball and zapped straight up. Lucario forced the stream upwards and extended the ball off the sight lines of the stage to knock DK out of the top barrier. DK was seen falling into the background as a little star. Pikachu was teleported right next to Lucario, spinning out of his Voltage Ball. Lucario spun in place dispersing the remaining aura. GAME!


The smashers were celebrating as usual as the scores were posted on the now reduced Brawl Screen. Lucario was shaking paws/claws with Pikachu.

"You did very well young mouse." Lucario stated, "You should be proud."

"Pika-Pi-Pika-Pikachu!" Pikachu responded.

Even though no one could understand or really talk to them, many people were also congratulating Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. The Kongs seemed very pleased despite the loss. Lucario shook hands with them as well, and Pikachu and Diddy did a couple of flips together. Master Hand floated up.

"What a fantastic match! I'm so excited I'm going to pick the next contenders right now!" Master Hand said as he floated over to the Character Selector.

Sonic approached Peach. "So Peach..." Sonic started, "What did you think of that match?"

Peach smiled and replied. "It was wonderful Sonic. Did you like it?"

Sonic smirked, "Yeah it was great, can't wait to show my stuff!" Sonic did a quick break dance on the floor and landed on his feet. "Hah!" he proclaimed proudly.

Mario walked over and pushed Sonic out of the way to get to Peach. "Sorry sweetie," Mario started, "Is he-a bothering you?"

Peach shook her head no as Sonic pushed Mario aside. "Yeah, the lady's fine!" Sonic said, "So butt out!" Mario pushed Sonic back and lit a fire ball in his hand.

"You want-a piece a-Mario?" Mario asked.

"All right everyone!" Master Hand said as he floated back to the center of the room, "The next match has been decided. First off will be the Blue Team! The first brawler will be...SONIC!"

Sonic zipped around the room and landed with a back flip in the center. "Oh yeah!" he shouted, "Sonic's my name, speed's my game!" Sonic turned to Mario and stuck his tongue out. "Now I'll show you how it's done out there!"

"Hah!" Mario laughed in response, "I'd like-a to see you try!"

"And his partner..." Master Hand announced, "...MARIO!"


Well there we go. Next time it will be the much asked for team of Mario and Sonic! Yay! Please review as always. Never hurts to get feedback. For those of you who know it, I picture the Jungle Hijinks occurring kind of like the Knights of the Round summon from Final Fantasy VII. Oh, and all the non-motion Team Final Smashes (Triforce Aether, Jungle Hijinks, not ones like Aura Tackle or Negative Grenades which require movement) should be in cut scenes like Captain Falcon's Blue Falcon (the only one done right in my opinion). Thank you for reading.
