Meta Knight groaned as he got up, completely exhausted. He blinked through bleary eyes and stared up at the crowd around him. He quickly widened his eyes and jumped up, readying his sword to attack any possible enemies. As his eyes refocused, he found no enemies, but many Pokémon. He stared at the one standing before him; the one he had gone on adventure with before, during the Subspace Emissary.
"Are you alright?" asked Lucario, a tall, blue, dog-like creature.
Meta Knight nodded once, then looked around at the rest of them. There was a small yellow mouse-type creature, "Pikachu!" it exclaimed happily; a smaller yellow mouse, similar to the first, who exclaimed happily, "Pichu!"; and the last was not a Pokémon at all, but a human.
"Hey, I'm Nash, and who are you? And how'd you get here? And why are you all beat up?" asked the human in rapid short sentences. Pikachu gently pushed him away, giving Meta Knight some room to breathe.
"My name is Meta Knight; Link and I were attacked by Shadow in Ganon's Castle."
They all widened their eyes, quickly exchanging glances before Pichu stepped up and exclaimed, "Chu! Pichupi!"
Meta Knight blinked, as he couldn't understand Pokémon speak.
Lucario noticed and quickly translated: "He said 'We need to hurry up! Pokémon Stadium 2 was just destroyed by Mewtwo and Waluigi!'"
Through Lucario, Pichu explained the problem of the subspace bombs to Meta Knight and the rest of them. There were 5 bombs that, when activated, had the power to revive Tabuu.
Meta Knight nodded in understanding, then took charge of his new Pokémon team, "Alright then, we'll cover more ground if we split up; Pikachu and Pichu, you two go with Lucario as your translator to relay the problem to Snake, he'll be able to help us. Me and..." he shuddered for a second "Nash shall go search for Link, and possibly acquire more followers to our cause. When we're done, we'll all meet up outside Ganon's Castle. Got it?"
Everybody nodded in agreement, and they all split up to fulfill their respective missions.
