09- Luigi
Mario's brother was used to getting less praise than him. Of course he was acknowledged for what he did, but Mario had done so much more that it was easy to forget about him.
Luigi was thinking about this early one morning, and finally decided to do something about it. He stepped outside, long before Mario was up, and began to walk around. Though he had the motivation, it didn't take him long to realize that he didn't have any plan. How could one get very famous very quickly? The only thing he could really think of was to defeat some powerful enemy like Bowser, but that clearly wouldn't happen so easily. He didn't have any princess to save either, though if Sarasaland's princess was ever in trouble again, he already decided he'd try to get there before Mario. For now though... He really had nothing.
With a defeated sigh, he continued to walking on, sitting for a moment when he reached the foot of a hill. As soon as he had settled however, something very fast crashed right into him, knocking him down.
"Yow!" He screamed before turning around, seeing a small, pink ball staring back at him. The creature looked up, angry and confused. Luigi put on his best brave face and went into a defensive stance, just in case the cute thing attacked.
In this case, his paranoia actually payed off, as when the monster began to charge up a roll again, the plumber jumped over it, landing safely back on the ground. He grinned, gaining temporary confidence. He jumped once again, offensively this time. Unlike his brother's recent health and attack upgrades from his last adventure, a jump was all that Luigi had. Unfortunately for him though, that wasn't going to cut it. The ball easily dodged before Luigi landed, and countered with a punch that nearly knocked the green plumber out immediately. As usual, another blow would mean the end of Luigi.
As he layed there cowering, his life about to start flashing before him, the creature turned around unexpectedly. The man opened his eyes curiously, he realized that his attacker was now starting at a large object that was falling out of the sky several yards away from them.
Luigi was too slow to get up, reluctantly still on the ground when he heard a large crash. The object now appeared as a strange blue spaceship. After moments of silence, a man emerged, wearing a torn, blue jumpsuit and a golden helmet.
AN: Hey everyone! Back from my extended vacation. Honestly though, I just got a bit of writer's block. Managed to pump this out, but I'm not sure how great it is. By the way, I'm begging for some constructive criticism, so please supply it if you've got it. Okay, personal struggles aside, on to chapter notes. I'm finally able to get a little creative here. I'm unfortunately struggling between keeping this completely within hypothetical canon and telling a good story, but I think I'm managing it well enough for now. Also, my first fight scene! Hopefully I'm able to describe action well, I haven't really tried before now... Last thing. Though it SHOULD be super exciting, I'm kind of upset that Greninja is confirmed to be Ash's. This means that my elaborate Pikachu work around is now pointless, because that could just be Ash's too. Whatever though... Saves me trouble of making unique stories for the other pokemon I suppose. That's all for now, hopefully the next chapter will be out soon!
