Hey guys! Here's the next chapter for this story! Last chapter may have surprised you about the situation that the smashers are currently in, but, this chapter will clear things up for you. Now, this will be the last chapter to this entire story, but don't worry! There will be a sequel! It just may come a little later because of school and I have to finish "School Starts With Headaches". Now, all that aside, here is the next chapter! Enjoy!
Chapter 21: Visit to the Vet pt. 3
Mario lay at the back of his kennel, his head resting on his paws. He can't believe it! He just couldn't believe it! They all were getting neutered and spayed! He understands that since Master Hand couldn't find nor create a reverse spell to turn them, thus leaving them as pokemon forever, but why would he do this?! Mario could listen to the terrified voices of the other smashers in the other kennels. They were just as horrified as he is. Though, the kids were able to go home because they were too young for this. Mario then put on a determined face. We have to get out of here!
He waited a while and soon Nurse Joy came in and took the young smashers to send them home. Once she left, Mario got up and walked to the front of his kennel and looked around the room until he spotted Ike. The totodile was curled up in his kennel, probably hopelessly mopping about the situation.
"Hey! Ike!" Mario called out to his friend. Ike turned around at the sound of this name and looked at Mario.
"Yeah?" He called back at the herdier.
"We have to get outta here before Nurse Joy comes to start neutering us. Do you think you can try to bite at the lock of the kennels?" Mario said.
Ike looked at the lock and nodded. "I can try." And with that, he poked his teeth through the bars of the kennel, bit down on the lock, and started to chew. He kept it up until the lock finally broke and fell off. Ike kicked to door open and jumped out of his kennel.
Mario smiled. "Way to go Ike! Now come do mine!" Ike climbed up the bars of the kennel doors until he was at Mario's and chewed at the lock until it broke. Ike jumped down and Mario pushed his door open and jumped out as well.
"Me! Me! Please get me next!" Link called desperately from his kennel. Ike climbed up the bars again and did the same thing until the lock broke and Link jumped out. "Free! I'm free!"
"Shut up!" Mario snapped, slapping his paw over the raichu's mouth. "We can't get caught so we'll have to be quiet." Link nodded in understanding. Mario then took his paw off his mouth. "Good, now let's get the others." But, before they could move to anyone else's kennel, a voice sounded from outside the room.
"Hold on Chansey! I heard a noise from the kennel room. I'm just going to check to see what it was." Then the sound of footsteps were heard and were coming to the room.
"Shit!" Mario said and started to look around for a place to hide.
"Whaddawedo? Whaddawedo? Whaddawedo?" Link said, freaking out.
Mario then spotted a little metal door on the wall. "In there!" He said pointing. The three ran to the metal door and Mario stood on his hind legs, opened it, and then jumped in, followed by Link and Ike. But once they were in, they realized that behind the door was a vent slanting downward. They jumped into a garbage shoot. Screaming, the three slid down the shoot at a very fast speed. Well, Mario and Ike were screaming. Link was rather enjoying the slide.
Once Mario started to see the end, he put his paws on both sides of the vent to slow him down. Once he got to the very end of the vent, he stopped. Ike then came sliding up and bumped into his back. Both looked down to see a huge dumpster bellow them that they would've fell in. Both sighed in relief.
"OOOOOOOOOOOH YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" The sound of Link's voice was heard when the raichu slid down and rammed straight into the two of them, thus, causing them to fall out of the vent and into the dumpster. Scrambling his way up, Mario poked his head out of the dumpster and spit out a can. Ike and Link showed up as well. "That was awesome! Who's up for round two!" Link asked excitedly. Mario and Ike glared at him and his smile went away.
"Okay, now that we're out of there. We gotta think of a plan to get the others out of there before they get neutered and spayed." Mario said.
"Well, if we try to get back in, won't Nurse Joy or her two pokemon spot us and put us back in our kennels, putting us back at square one?" Ike asked.
Mario thought for a moment and realzed that he had a point. "Your right. But, we could just sneak back in."
Ike nodded. "That could work."
"You guys can do that without me." Link said. "I don't wanna go back in there and risk it!"
"They're your friends too Link! You gotta do your part." Mario said. But before Link could argue back, a trash truck drove up and grabbed the dumpster. The three sat there as they started to get lifted into the air. Ike and Link had worried looks while Mario just had an annoyed expression. The dumpster then tilted and they started to slid into the truck.
"Uh, Mario-" Link said.
"I know what's happening." Mario grumbled.
(Page Break)
The three pokemon staggered while they walked at the side of the road. After the trash truck dumped them off at the dump, Mario, Link, and Ike tried to find their way out of the dump, only to get chased by a guard dog. Once they found the entrance, they quickly left. Though, they don't know where they are and how to get back to the Pokemon Center to help their friends, they were just walking cluelessly around on the side of the road, hoping they were heading the right way. But, after about two hours with no Pokémon Center in sight, they are starting to realize they're going the wrong way.
"Okay!" Ike shouted with annoyance. "We've been walking for what seems like forever and that stupid Pokémon Center isn't anywhere! In fact, I see nothing around us! Just trees! We're lost!"
"As much as don't want to think we are, I'm gonna have to agree with you." Mario said with defeat.
"Well how will we get back to help our friends?" Link asked.
Mario sighed. "I don't know. I don't even know if we could get home."
"Hey, isn't that the Smash Mansion?" Ike asked, looking at something on a hill a little ahead of them. Mario and Link turned to see that the totodile was right. They could see the roof of the Smash Mansion.
"It is!" Mario smiled. "We could just ask Pikachu to give us a ride on the bus!" The three then started to run toward the mansion.
(Page Break)
"Yes Master Hand, they are still at the Pokémon Center." Pikachu said. He waited a couple seconds and spoke again. "No, she hasn't called me to get them yet. I guess they're not done with neutering and spaying them." Another pause. "I know, they should be done by now. Maybe something happened?" Pikachu's phone conversation was interrupted when he picked up the scent of garbage and pokemon. He turned his attention to the Smash Mansion's front door. The smell was getting strong. "Hold on Master Hand, I think I'm gonna have to deal with a couple of wild pokemon by the door. I'll be back."
Putting the phone down, Pikachu slowly walked up to the door and stopped in front of Rush's dog door, where the smell was the strongest. Getting into battle position, Pikachu narrowed his eyes and looked intently at the dog door, sparks flying from his cheeks. Then, a head popped through the door and Pikachu let out a thunderbolt. "PIKACHUUUUU!"
"AKFJKNKASJHEIRHTISDNGKA!" The pokemon shouted in pain and fell to the ground. Pikachu looked down at it and saw that it was a totodile. But, this totodile was wearing a cape and had blue spikey hair...
"IKE?!" Pikachu yelled in realization and surprise. Ike didn't respond, he just twitched and lie still. Then another head poked through the dog door and revealed to be Mario. Mario walked in and was followed by Link. Once the two were inside, they looked down at Ike and then looked up at Pikachu.
Pikachu was very surprised. "What are you guys doing here?" He asked. "And why are you all covered in trash?"
"We wanted to escape from that horrible place that you call a Pokémon Center!" Link said.
"It's a long story." Mario muttered. "But, we need you to give us a ride back to the Pokémon Center so we can rescue everyone else."
"Rescue? Why would they need to be rescued?" Pikachu asked. "Did something go wrong."
"Not necessarily, but we were gonna break them free so they don't get spayed and neutered."
Pikachu took in all this information until realization came to him. "So that's why Nurse Joy hasn't called me back. She's probably busy looking for you guys."
The two looked confused. "What do you mean?" Link asked.
"Master Hand called me and asked if you guys got your appointments done, but Nurse Joy hasn't called me to tell me you guys were done and with you all not there, that's why." Pikachu said.
"Wait, Master Hand called?" Mario said. Pikachu nodded. "Is he still on the phone?" Pikachu nodded. "Can I speak to him?" Pikachu then nodded and went to get the phone. I need to get to the bottom of this. Mario said to himself as Pikachu came back and handed him the phone. Mario took the phone and spoke in it. "Master Hand?"
"Mario?" Master Hand responded, surprised. "Why are you back at the mansion? Shouldn't you be getting neutered?"
"That's what I want to talk to you about." Mario said. "I know why you appointed us to get out shots, but why did you sign us up for the neuter plan?! You know very well that that is one of the last things we want!"
"Well, you see," Master Hand responded. "since you guys are going to be pokemon forever, I needed to make sure every problem that would happen in the future will be solved. So I appointed you all to get your shots so you don't catch diseased and parasites. And the neutering and spaying is very well necessary. Because, honestly, pokemon are very much like animals and animals mate, a lot. With you guys as pokemon, you will soon pick up pokemon and animal traits, including mating. So I took that precaution and decided to get you all spayed and neutered before you took on that trait. I mean, the last thing the mansion needs is a bunch of baby pokemon running all over the place, I mean, I already have to deal with you guys already, but all of you and your offspring as pokemon? I wouldn't be able to take it! And it's not like you would let me sell your offspring. So, went to go and get that taken care of!"
Mario stayed silent and thought it over. I guess he has a point. I would probably do the same thing. And I guess he made a good decision to do it now. I have been getting some desires when ever I look at Peach.
"Well, thanks for clearing it up, but I still disagree with you." Mario said. "We're going back to the Pokémon Center to get the others. We are not getting neutered and spayed and that's final! So you probably would want to start getting used to baby pokemon right now. Now good day!"
"What're you-" Before Master Hand could finish his sentence, Mario hung up. He then turned to Link and Pikachu, looked at him with surprise.
"Wow, you actually told him off." Link said with amazement. "I've never seen anyone tell Master Hand off before."
Ike then got up from the ground and looked at them. "What I miss?" He asked.
"I found out the reason why Master Hand wants to get us neutered and spayed, but I told him off." Mario said proudly. "Now, let's go get our friends!"
(Page Break)
The bus pulled into the Pokémon Center parking lot. The doors opened and Mario, Link, and Ike jumped out. "Okay, we're gonna sneak in and break the others out. It may take a while. So just wait here with the bus." Mario said to Pikachu and Fox (who was driving the bus). The two nodded and Mario and the other two ran toward the Pokémon Center. Once they were out of sight, Fox turned to Pikachu.
"Ya know, we could've just went in and told Nurse Joy to cancel the appointment." He said to the pokemon.
Pikachu took in what he said. "Aw crap."
Mario, Link, and Ike snuck around the building until they found an air vent opening. "In here!" Mario said. Link then used the move Iron Tail and broke open the vent and the three crawled in. They crawled around in the vents for about ten minute until they came to an opening that lead into the room with the kennels.
"That's it!" Mario said. Link Iron Tailed the vent opening again and they jumped down into the room. They looked around, but surprised looks came on their faces when they saw that all the kennels were empty. "Where are they?" Mario asked.
"Are we in the wrong room?" Link asked.
"No, there's only one kennel room." Ike said. Mario then smelled the air. He could smell their scents, but they were pretty stale.
"Where ever they are, they haven't been in this room in a while. Probably, about a couple of hours." Mario said. Then realization came to him and his eyes widen. "We're too late!" He shouted.
"What do you mean, too late?" Ike asked.
"We took too long. They already got spayed and neutered." When Mario said this, Link and Ike's eyes widen as well. They then hung their heads in shame. Mario smelled the air again and picked up their scents. He then realized it actually lead somewhere. Mario followed the scents until he came to a door that lead into another room. He looked up at the door and on it, there was a sign that said. Pokémon Waiting Room. All pokemon that got neutered and spayed are to wait in this room until their trainers come. Mario smelled around the door and picked up the other smashers' scent, much stronger this time.
Link and Ike walked up to him. "They're behind this door." Mario said. He then stood on his hind legs and grabbed the doorknob in his mouth. Twisting it, the door opened and Mario, Link, and Ike walked in to see all of the smashers waiting in there, but they were all, different. Some of them were lying around lazily, some of them were even asleep. But some of them were acting kind of jumpy. The three walked in fully until Snake, who was asleep, lifted his head slowly and saw them.
"Hey guys. Mario, Link, and Ike are back." He mumbled before falling asleep again. The rest turn to them and greeted them. Mario, Link, and Ike walked farther into the room. Peach then walked up to Mario calmly. Wait. Calmly? She didn't run and hug him like she would normally do.
"It's good that you're back, Mario." The flaaffy said calmly as well. "But, I'm afraid that you all are too late."
Mario looked at her in despair. Peach was all calm now. What happened to the hyperactive princess he knew and loved? "So you got spayed, Peach?" He asked. Peach nodded her head.
"Sadly, yes." She said. Mario looked around the room. They all were acting differently. Like said before, most of them were sleeping, especially Roy, Pit, and Wii Fit Trainer. Some of them were pretty jumpy. Marth was sitting in front of a tv that was in the room, Mario guessed it was for pokemon to watch while waiting.
"Hey Marth!" Ike shouted over the watortle.
"I didn't do it!" Marth shouted and went into his turtle shell. Ike looked after him with confusion. Peach then walked over Zelda, who was asleep.
"Zelda, Mario, Link, and Ike are back." She said and lightly shook her. Once she made contact with Zelda's fur, Zelda's eyes flew open.
"THE ANSWER'S FOURTY-TWO!" The espeon shouted.
Peach turned to Mario and the other two, who looked at Zelda with surprise because of her sudden outburst. "Her and Marth have been kind of jumpy and nervous ever since their operations." She told them.
"That explains." Link said.
Samus then soon realized that the three were there. The snivy smiled sweetly and approached them. "It's good to see you guys back. Even though you didn't make it on time." She said with kindness. "But, it's not really that bad being spayed, though. I never felt so, calm." Mario, Link, and Ike stared at her with horror. Normally, Samus would've beaten the shit out of them for being late.
"Who are you and what have you done with Samus!" Link shouted.
Samus only shrugged. "Spaying changes pokemon."
Mario couldn't believe it. All our friends. They're different. They aren't like the smashers like they were before. This, this can't be happening! Mario's thoughts were interrupted when Nurse Joy entered the room and spotted him, Link, and Ike.
"Oh there you three are!" She said. "You three need to get spayed." Before any of them could run away, Chansey and Audino grabbed Link and Ike while Nurse Joy scooped up Mario and started to walk out of the room. They stuggled in their grasps, but it was to no avail.
"No!" Mario shouted in despair. "This can't be happening! NOOOOO!"
(Page Break)
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHl! Mario screamed and sat straight up in his bed. He looked around. He was in his room in the Smash Mansion. He turned and saw Luigi and Yoshi sleeping in their beds. He then realized his butt didn't hurt from the shots. Did it ever happen? Luigi then stirred and he sat up and faced his older brother.
"Mario? Are you okay?" The larvitar asked.
Mario turned to him. "W-What happened? I-I thought w-we were at the Pokémon Center, and you got neutered and I was about to-"
"That never happened." Luigi said, confused. "You must've had a bad dream." He then lay back down and went to sleep again. Mario took in what his brother said. It never happened? It was all a dream? He then smiled. It was all a dream! I'm not neutered! No one is! Oh thank god! Mario then curled back up in his bed. And since it never happened, Master Hand still doesn't know we're pokemon and will not make the appointment. And, there is still a possibility that he can change us back to normal! Mario then let out a calm breath. He's going to sleep good for the rest of the night.
And end chapter 21 which also ends the entire story. Yep, the whole Pokémon Center thing was just Mario's dream. It never happened. Well, this is the end. Like I said, there will be a sequel later on! So don't worry. But, I do have a problem though. My Kindle Fire is acting up and won't let me type for some reason so I had to do all of this from my parents computer. This might be a problem with updating for me since I'm not supposed to even be on my parent's computer. So, this might be a problem with updating and if I'm not updating a lot, now you know why. That's just a little heads up.
Anyway, thank you all for reading and I hope you all enjoyed this story! Warriorcatgirl375. out!
