Okay, so I promised the brawl in this chapter, and I will deliver... buuuuuut there's a slight change in certain events. You'll understand the moment you see the first part of the chapter. I'll leave you guys to read on, feel free to review at the end, I love reviews, and it helps to show you are enjoying the story.

Also, I'm no expert at Brawl moves, so I'm just gonna make up an epic fight based on powers... Oh, and Yoshi can, at will, materialize up to three eggs at a time (I made this bit up)

And I need to do this - LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!? (Time Jumps are fun :D)


It Was an Accident - Chapter 4

~1 Week Later~

How could that happen? How could I let that happen!?

Yoshi slammed the front doors of the mansion shut, his feet taking him forwards and away from the building he called home. His breathing was ragged, there were small bruises on his chest, and worst of all, he was crying again. Overwhelmed, he felt himself trip over his own feet, too emotional to keep his balance.

It was just a slip up! We were using attacks... But...

He picked himself up, feeling the first drops of rain hitting the ground hard. The moon was rising up into the sky, but it was semi-hidden by the dark storm clouds looming over the Mansion. He felt just like those clouds, full of rage, confusion, and worst of all, depressed. For something had happened, right at the end of his one week, that had ruined his own reputation in the building, and that of his roommates forever.

What had happened? They had kissed.


~30 Minutes Earlier~

"C'mon Yoshi, you've got to find something positive to like," The happy voice of Kirby sang.

"That's easy for you to say! I've been rattling my brains all week, and I've got nothing... Maybe Master Hand is right..." Yoshi groaned, chomping down on a piece of chicken that he had found. "Maybe I do need something else in my life..."

The week had been long for the dinosaur, and while all of the Smashers were great helps in trying to keep his spirits up, there was only so much they could really do. His main problem was that he couldn't find something to "fight for," so to speak. He wanted to brawl in the upcoming Tournament, but after a week of mulling over Master Hand's thoughts, they really began to hit home. Maybe he really did need to think his priorities through.

"You know, Master Hand may be right about what he said, but that doesn't mean you have to accept that it can't change anything," His frog friend Greninja replied.

Ever since that first night, Greninja had been an incredibly faithful friend towards the reptile. The water Pokémon had been trying his hardest to help Yoshi in figuring out what he wanted to do, using questions, books, whatever he could find, to get the Yoshi out of his rut. None of the attempts helped Yoshi in any way, but it definitely helped the two roommates to bond over some shared common interests. They were both very agile, when push came to shove, and both were very attune with nature.

When they had woken up at the lake, all those days ago, it was much less awkward between them than they cared to admit. Yoshi was just glad to have had a friend who would stick with him during the night, and Greninja was glad to have gotten to know Yoshi. Heck, Yoshi had even taken to resting his head on Greninja's shoulder when they sat down, and although it gave the others a different impression, the two Smashers merely saw it as a sign of friendship and trust.

Without realizing it, Yoshi had been improving his friendship with the water type, while gaining new experiences in the process, which was what Master Hand had wanted. The unlucky point was that it was not enough for Master Hand, and the Hand had waved Yoshi away, despite being pleased.

"Greninja... thanks, but I'll be fine. I just don't know what to do anymore?" Yoshi quickly tapped his head, as if hoping that would somehow give him an idea.

"Look, we're best friends Yoshi... It seems like we've known each other for months, but it's only been a week. That's how much of an influence you've had on me, remember," The frog pointed out with a grin.

"But that didn't work when we went to Master Hand about it," The dinosaur countered, sighing.

"Why don't you guys have a brawl or something? You can still practise, right Yoshi, and Greninja, you haven't even had a brawl yet! Maybe that's what you're missing!" Kirby suggested, a wide smile beaming towards the other two.

Yoshi looked to Greninja, who nodded with a small smile. "It'll be great to actually battle someone, you know."

"Right, I'm a great fighter though Greninja. I don't hold back!"

The frog chuckled quietly as the dinosaur got out of his seat, leaving the remains of the chicken on the plate. The two headed out of the hall, Greninja leading the way. Despite having been there for a week, the Greninja's memory was scarily accurate, and he knew his way better than Yoshi did, half the time. Except for this time.

"Greninja, you've never been to the brawl hub before, have you?" Yoshi asked, although it seemed like more of a statement.

The Greninja merely shook his head, looking around the entrance hall that they had found themselves in. Yoshi smiled, glad to see that he actually knew something the frog didn't, motioning for Greninja to follow him. The green dino led the water frog towards a large wooden door hidden behind the main stairs of the mansion.

Silently, he pushed the door open, walking inside, the frog following. Greninja gasped as he saw the large room around him. It was rather dim, but he could see holographic pictures of all of the different battlefields around the walls, swirling around. Towards the other side of the room, four large pods sat, a red one, a blue one, a green one, and a yellow one.

"Those are the transport pods. They basically teleport us to our chosen battlefield. You can also pick a look while you're waiting, in case you prefer other colours to your own scheme. I never change much myself though," Yoshi explained, pointing towards the first two pods. They were lit up with a sort of white light, that seemed to be contained in a perfect cylinder around the pods.

"So what battlefield will we fight in?" The Greninja asked, his eyes drawn to all of the different battlefields, all different colours and shapes. They were incredibly detailed, and any one of them seemed like a great place to battle.

Yoshi merely put his hand to his head in embarrassment. "I'm not sure actually, haha," He admitted. "I'll press random, that way we don't know what to expect... Hmmm... Maybe Omega Mode as well?" He thought aloud.

"What's Omega Mode?"

Yoshi turned to the curious frog, a glint in his eye. "It's a mode that changes any battleground into a "Final Destination" style battlefield. You can still rely on your skills only, but you also get the lucky chance of getting some nicer scenery than the actual Final Destination!"

Greninja merely nodded in agreement. He was rather impressed by the technology that they mansion had available. It was incredibly simple, yet complex at the same time. "I guess I'll go in the blue pod then?"

"Yeah, I'll take the green. Good luck Greninja!" Yoshi smiled, stepping into his own pod. "Ready?"

"Ready." The frog stepped into the light, and within a few seconds, it had engulfed their vision.


Battlefield - Omega Mode - Last Man Standing Match - Items Off


When Yoshi opened his eyes, the light was gone, replaced by the bright and colourful stage known as the "battlefield." It was the go-to stage when you wanted a basic quick brawl. Usually there would be three platforms, two elevated on the sides, and one higher up in the middle of the stage, but since Omega Mode was active, the entire stage was flat.

He noticed that his opponent had appeared to his left, and he quickly got into his fighting stance. Greninja was also ready, and both of them readied their first attacks.

READY.

"Bring it on Greninja!" Yoshi grinned, already feeling his first egg materializing in his hands.

"You should look out, my friend," The frog replied, water shurikens beginning to form.

SET.

Yoshi raised his arm backwards, into a throwing stance, ready to chuck his now fully formed egg, straight at the water-types face.

Greninja whipped his scarf back, as if trying to look fabulous, and let his water shurikens slide to the tips of his fingers.

They were ready.

GO!

Yoshi quickly flung his arm forwards, letting his first egg sail towards the water type, who jumped out of the way with great haste. He saw the water shuriken slicing its way through the air towards him, so he quickly bounced backwards to avoid it. As it crashed into the ground, just in front of him, he could feel the water spray into his eyes, causing him to blink for a few moments in confusion.

Greninja was suddenly right in front of the dinosaur, arms outstretched, and Yoshi felt the frog hit him with some forceful punches. He felt himself slide backwards, clutching his chest where he had been hit. His eyes narrowed as he watched the water type, noting that Greninja was ready to move at a moment's notice.

"You're fast," He commended, taking a short breath.

"Ninja, remember," The frog laughed.

Yoshi sighed, wondering what he could do. But as he was thinking, the frog was getting ready for another assault. He saw the Greninja's tongue scarf suddenly whirl, revealing his mouth for a few short seconds. He barely had time to react as a torrent of water burst from the Pokémon's mouth, spiralling towards him.

The dinosaur quickly jumped to his left, feeling the water graze his side as he landed to Greninja's right. Wasting no time, he quickly felt his shell form around him, summoning his egg roll attack. Spinning forwards, he slammed into the ninja, knocking the frog backwards towards the edge. As he emerged from the roll, he came face to face with a water shuriken, and found himself flying off of the left of the stage.

Instinct set in and he quickly forced his energy to his feet, using his one air jump. He quickly kicked his legs upwards, trying to get his flutter jump to work, grunting as he felt himself sail back down, hitting the edge of the platform just barely.

"Gah, he's tough," He groaned, thinking through his options. He'd tried eggs, melee wouldn't work, but he needed to get close. His egg roll wouldn't fool the ninja twice... He only had one move left that he could use for sure.

"Come on Yoshi, up you get, I'm waiting," The water type smiled, holding his tongue scarf in his hand. "I'm just starting to have fun!"

"And I'm not learning anything else... Except that you are one fast ninja," Yoshi retorted, getting ready to use his secret weapon. He quickly got into another stance and waited.

He saw the water shurikens coming this time, side stepping them with ease, watching to see what the ninja would do. The ninja, left with no option, charged forwards, and that was what the dinosaur wanted him to do!

He let his tongue slice out through the air to catch the Greninja, ready to turn him into an egg, but then something went wrong. Something that changed everything forever...

Greninja, in a sudden panic, slid his scarf underneath Yoshi's legs, causing him to slip up. Greninja, now unbalanced, began to fall forwards... Straight on to Yoshi! They slammed into the ground, Yoshi hitting back first, grimacing as his shell blocked his fall. He felt Greninja slam on to his stomach, sending his head up in pain. He gasped in agony for a single moment, as Greninja felt his face fall towards the ground, gravity taking hold.

And for a time, a single time, both of their faces hit each other, slamming their mouths together.

Yoshi's eyes widened in absolute shock, feeling Greninja's mouth upon his own, and as the panic faded slightly, he could see the frog blushing. Thoughts were racing through his head, scared and confused thoughts. He was kissing his best friend, for crying out loud! Why wasn't Greninja moving? He seemed to still be in shock, so Yoshi did the only thing he could do.

He kicked the frog off of him, causing the ninja to gasp as he toppled off of the side of the stage. The dinosaur, now free from the lips of his roommate, gasped for air, absolutely terrified by the turn of events. "W-What... just happened?"

GAME!


Yoshi felt himself feeling dizzy as he suddenly found himself face down in the teleport pod. He was blushing madly, his face heated up, and most of all he was embarrassed. He had just kissed his roommate! His friend!? What was Greninja going to think?

"Y-Yoshi?" He heard a voice ask, and he looked over to see Greninja sitting by his teleport pad, a look of shock on his face. "W-What jus-"

"It was an accident!" Yoshi exclaimed out loud, his breathing speeding up. What was going on? He could deal with this? Why was he overreacting? "I-I-Wh-"

"Yoshi, calm down," Greninja consoled, quickly moving to his friend's side, but Yoshi only tensed up at Greninja's touch.

He pulled away, confusion etched across his face. Greninja could only guess what was going through his mind, but he knew it wouldn't be good. Yoshi began to shake his head back and forth, and Greninja could see tears welling up in his eyes. "I-I have to go."

With those words, Yoshi turned around, bolting out of the door, leaving a stunned and confused Greninja alone in the smash hub.

"Yoshi..."


It happened! And I can reveal the next chapter will probably be the final chapter as well! Sorry if the brawl wasn't as good as you were expecting, I'm not great with action scenes... But I hope you enjoyed, so feel free to review, and I'll see you in the final chapter!
