Roy walked across the main floor of the ruins of the Nameless Temple before jumping down to the tunnels underneath. He needed a little more time to think before he was called to duel. As he walked down he heard a familiar, and much hated, voice.
"Yeah, I'm in the tournament again, sorry you couldn't make it, I'll catch up with you later Snake. Take care."
Roy turned the corner and groaned with irritation, "Ike… Still connecting with powers beyond your control?"
Ike turned and smirked, "Roy, still wallowing in the shadow of obscurity?"
Roy practically growled, "Moronic sellsword."
Ike frowned back, "Self-righteous royal."
"Pika pi!"
"Pichu? Is that you?" Roy asked.
The Pikachu ran up and tackled Roy, it wore blue goggles on its head.
Roy began to smile again, "Hey buddy! It's been a while! I see you evolved."
"Kaaa!" Pikachu announced in pride.
Ike turned away, "Should've figured you were an animal person."
"More than that, this is my pikachu. Accidentally held an egg during the second tournament and

"Hmph, not my business," Ike said.
A booming voice sounded, "Roy and Gannondorf to the Skyloft arena."
"I look forward to destroying you later Roy. Just don't get eliminated before then, kay?"
"Wouldn't dream of missing the opportunity to beat you down."
"Chu," growled Pikachu.
Ike tilted his head, "What?"
"Pikachu said he will end you for insulting me."
Ike scoffed and walked away without another word.
"Chu?"
Roy patted Pikachu's head, "Don't worry about it buddy, he's mine…"
END.
