Chapter 25
You three better be responsible for keeping me safe!
The Library Exploration Girls (Haruna, Yue, and Nodoka) found themselves standing in the same room as the most powerful follower of Fawful, Kitty Corp.
"So… this is the cat guy that we are told to be careful of, right?" Haruna asked.
"Oh no… We should run…" Nodoka said desperately. She looked around the place and found that there was no other way out of here except for the door that they came in from, and Kitty was standing in front of it.
"Now that you are here, I will kill you as the boss has commanded," Kitty said.
This gave chills down the spines of the three girls and they didn't know what to do. "What do we do…?" Nodoka asked. "There's no way… to escape…"
"We're really unfortunate to run into him…" Yue commented.
"No use in complaining over spilt milk! Might as well fight back with all we've got!" Haruna suggested. "We have more people here, and do not underestimate the Pactio artifacts that we possess!" She drew on her notebook as fast as she and then turned it around to face Kitty. "Behold the ultimate martial artist warrior!" A bright light came out from the pages of the book and then in a moment, a tall and muscular man in kung-fu garb was materialized. "Go show that cat whose boss!"
The warrior rushed towards Kitty who remained standing in place with a serious expression on his face. "Soru," he said, and then he zipped out of the place as fast as a blink of an eye just before the warrior delivered a karate chop onto him. Kitty reappeared in the air behind and then gave him a powerful roundhouse kick across the back of the head. The kick was so hard that the warrior crashed across the room, despite its size, and disappeared afterwards.
"Ow!" Haruna held the back of her head in pain and cried, "That hurts…"
"Oh yeah… Whatever damage your drawing takes will be transferred back to you too, albeit minor…" Yue said.
"That guy is strong… He took out my martial artist warrior in a single hit… How about this then?" Haruna quickly drew another picture on her notebook and this time a warrior coated in heavy armor was created. "Now let's see how you can take on heavy armor such as this!"
The armored warrior thrust its sword at Kitty to impale him, but sidestepped to avoid the attack and then appeared in front of the warrior really fast to give it a punch so powerful that it crashed backwards. Haruna felt the pain being transferred to her body and then the armored warrior crashed into her and then into the wall behind, where the knight disappeared afterwards.
"Haruna!" The other two ran up to her to hold her up.
"Ow… How is this possible…?" she groaned. "He took out my art golems with no effort…"
Kitty started to approach them again and Yue quickly got out a magic wand and chanted a magic incantation. "White Lightning!" A blast of lightning bolt was fired at Kitty, but to her surprise, the cat disappeared in a blink of an eye and the attack didn't hit anything. "Where did he…?" Kitty reappeared behind her and then slammed his leg into her face and smashed her across the place. "YAH!"
"Enough, you mad cat! Let's see how you take large numbers!" Haruna said with frustration. Opening her notebook, she sent out two armored warriors to attack him.
Kitty easily evaded a sword swing from one of the warriors by moving back and then jumped up to avoid the second one's attack.
"Rankyaku!" He kicked against the air and fired a wind blade that sliced through the first warrior and destroyed it. The second one moved forward to attack him but Kitty easily stopped it in its path by grabbing its neck, and then using his other arm; he delivered a powerful punch into its body and literally shattered into pieces.
"Ugh!" Haruna fell to the floor and held her hand over her body in pain as all the damage had been transferred back to her.
"Haurna… Yue…" Nodoka cried. She was very shocked to see both her friends getting beaten so easily, and now Kitty was glaring in her direction. "No…"
"None of your shall leave this room alive," he said in a murderous tone.
"If I know his name, then I can tell read his mind and know his actions…" she thought, and then she build up the courage to ask him. "Um… What… what… is… your… name…?"
"There is no reason for you to know the name of the person who is going to kill you."
Then a ring that she was wearing on her finger (where else?) suddenly revealed his name to her. "Kitty Corp… What a cute name for someone like him… Now I can read his movements!" She quickly opened her diary to see if she could find out anything. "Going to kick me… YAAAAA!!!" She was kicked in the body by a very fast kick from Kitty and rolled across the room and into the wall very hard.
CRASH!
Kitty lowered his leg back onto the floor and said, "Bunch of weaklings."

Marth pushed open the wooden door on the ceiling and arrived at one of the towers of the castle. He looked around the place and saw a sign in the middle, and it wrote the same thing as the ones in the previous chapter. Setsuna and Konoka crawled out shortly afterwards and Setsuna asked, "See anything?"
Marth shook his head a response. "Nope, we weren't so lucky…"
"And you're even less lucky to encounter me!" said a voice. Marth and Setsuna quickly reached their hands to the hilt of their swords and looked into the air above the tower to see a wyvern flapping its wings up there and Nacien was riding on top of it. "I've been waiting for someone to come here for a while, and looks like my wait as been worth it!"
"Coming here is worth it in the end after all too," Marth replied with a smirk.
-
"Whoa! Watch out!" G&W cried. The four Smashers jumped out of the way as Robirdo zoomed down the hall in an attempt to run over them. It came to a stop and turned around and then launched out a large egg at them. The Smashers jumped out of the way again and the bomb struck the floor and exploded with a bang.
BANG!
"Man… I wouldn't want to have those eggs for breakfast…" Red commented.
"This thing is so scary…" Lucas cried.
"This vile monster! We must destroy this thing!" Pit said.
"I agree, though we still have to go look for the possible location of the container which is in the dungeon, and also rescue any hostages held there," G&W said.
"Then you and Lucas go deal with those," Red told him. "I'll take on this thing with Pit!"
"Are you sure?" Lucas asked.
"Leave this to us!" Red told him while giving a thumb up. "This scrap metal won't be any match for us!"
"I will fight alongside you, Mr. Red!" Pit said.
"All right! Good luck!" G&W said. "Let's go Lucas!" G&W continued running down the hall and Lucas took one last glance at Red and Pit and wished them good luck before following G&W.
Red reached for one of his Pokeballs on his waist and said, "Ready for a battle, Mr. Pink Dinosaur?"
-
G&W and Lucas were able to make it through the place in a short time and finally arrive at the dungeon room. They looked around and saw some people behind the bars of the cell rooms, and they were guards and maids that worked in this place. When they saw the two entering the place, they stood up and ran in front of the bars and asked, "Who are you people?"
"Roy was right! There are people imprisoned here!" G&W said. He also saw the Fawful sign in the middle of the room but ignored it.
"Let's rescue them!" Lucas suggested.
"We'll have to find the key though…"
"There's no need for the key," one of the guards told them. "These bars are controlled by computer which in that room." He pointed to the door across the place to show them the way.
"Computer controlled, I see… Hope it isn't too complicated…" G&W thought. "Let's go then!" Then he entered into the control room with Lucas.
They got in there and saw a large computer placed at the far end of the room and they were about to go over to it when blue liquid suddenly emerged from the floor. "What is this?" Lucas wondered.
The slime grew in size and then shaped themselves into three miniature girls. "Welcome!" Amee greeted them.
"You've come to your deaths," Slime said coldly.
"We will dissolve you into nothing, not even bones," Pudding added.
"What are these…?" Lucas cried. "They look slimy…"
"I don't know, but it looks like we can't get away with this without a fight," G&W said.
-
"Here I come!" Wario slammed open the door in hope of finding something interesting, but to his dismay, it was only the bathroom and there was the sign in front of it. "I laugh at your failure of an attempt… Damn…"
He took a glance at the walls of the bathroom and remarked at its beauty. "They sure put a lot of effort into decorating the bathroom! I shall now see how it is like to relieve myself in a place like this!" And he went inside and closed the door behind him.
-
"Two paths to take… One of them might be where that monster's spirit is hiding…" Kirby said. There were two doors on the wall before the eyes of his group.
Pointing to the right door, Kaede said she will take that one, and then Kirby decided to take the left one with Ku Fei. "Be careful, Kaede!" Ku Fei told her friend.
"Don't worry about me," she assured her. "I'm not the kind lose so easily-degozaru."
"Let's meet again afterwards whether or not we find it," Kirby said, and then he went through the left door with his partner. "We shouldn't worry about her, right?"
"Kaede is strong-aru!" Ku Fei told him. "She can protect herself and beat up any opponents! That time at the tournament was probably just a fluke from her opponent. If she gets serious, she won't lose!"
"Let's hope so."
They eventually made it into another larger room where they were immediately greeted with yet another sign, but as well as big green robots with faces of Fawful standing all around it. "I laugh at your failure of an attempt! Geehehehehe!" the robots said at the same time.
"Um… I think we fell for it…" Kirby said. "Didn't choose the right one and this is what we got instead…"
"We'll just fight them all-aru!" Ku Fei said, getting into fighting stance.
"Die you will, fink rats!" the robots said, and one of them raised its arms as if it was flexing and moved forward. Ku Fei ran up to it at a blinding speed and delivered a powerful palm strike into its body and blasted it backwards with a blast of ki energy. The robot soared back and crashed into another fellow robot behind it and pushed it down.
Kirby got out a hammer out from his mouth and swung it into the face of another robot and caused the head to spin like a globe. Being unable to see properly with a spinning head, the robot went berserk and swung its arms around and ended up hitting its comrades on the side. Ku Fei then gave a kick to its head and knocked it off from the body and the robot finally fell over with a crash.
There was only robot left and flames came out from its legs as it took off into the air. The duo quickly raised their hands as an act of defense to prepare for what the robot may do next, but the robot ended up bumping its head against the ceiling and fell back down dazed. "That was stupid…" Kirby commented.
-
Kaede thought she could hear the sound of crashing and destruction coming from the room at the far end of the hall. She ran into the room and was surprised to see pieces of the same type of robots lying all over the place as if they were torn up badly. Standing at far end of the room was a person that she recognized from the day at the fair—Brawtaunt. "It's you!" she said, surprised. "What are you doing here?"
"It's you again," Brawtaunt said. "I am simply here to take revenge on the people who humiliated with at the fighting tournament that day. My hunch told me that they would be found in this place."
"He must be referring to Captain Falcon and Marth… I mustn't let him harm my friends." She got into fighting posture and warned him, "You better not lay a hand on my friends. I'm going to stop you here-degozaru."
"Someone who lost to me does not have the right to say that," Brawtaunt said harshly. "I have no interest in fighting someone who is already proven to be weaker than me."
"That was because I wasn't taking you seriously. Now that I know you are strong, I will be fighting with full power and more seriously! I won't lose like that time!"
-
Meanwhile, at the throne room…
"Thunder Shock!" Pikachu and Pichu fired bolts of electricity into Petey Piranha's stomach. The plant monster felt a jolting and stinging sensation, but then easily shrugged off the attack.
"It doesn't seem to be working very well…" Pichu said.
Chisame popped out from behind a pillar in the room and said, "Plants have good resistance against electricity, so it won't do good against someone like him!"
"I'm sure we can still do something if we put more power into it," Pikachu said. "After all, lightning always strike trees and burn them down!"
"Pichu! Let's put more effort into this then!" Pichu said.
"Me too!" Jigglypuff said.
"And you guys better be responsible for keeping me safe!" Chisame told them.
"Why exactly are you here…?" Pikachu asked her.
Petey swung his leaf hands against the air and a pair of spinning saw-like leaves was shot forward. The Pokemon quickly got out of the way to avoid the incoming leaves, which didn't travel in a straight path but rather curved to the side of a bit. Chisame poked her head out from behind the pillar again to see what was going on and screamed when a leaf came flying at her. She lowered her head in time and the leaf only cut through a tiny bit of her hair. "My head is still on my neck… My head is still on my neck…" she told herself in a frightened voice.
Pikachu ran towards Petey and then leaped into the air and spun while a silver glow came out from his tail before he slammed it onto Petey's head. "Iron Tail!"
"Skull Bash!" Pichu ran at top speed and tossed himself at Petey, ramming him in the stomach.
"Rollout!" Jigglypuff rolled in place for a few seconds before launching forward at a fast speed and rammed him in the forehead.
Petey merely took some steps back from these hits and roared angrily. With a cough, he spit out a brown sludge onto the floor and it started to squirm on its own until a piranha plant grew out of it. "What is this?!" Pikachu commented in disgust. The piranha plant reached forward to bite him, but he easily shocked it to death with his electricity and the sludge evaporated afterwards. "But that was easily to kill…" He suddenly realized there was a shadow over him and looked up to see Petey falling down.
The trio ran out of the way in time before they were squashed and Petey made the whole room shake from the powerful landing.
BANG!
"Whoa! That guy really puts on weight!" Pichu said.
Petey turned to him and fired a pair of leaf blades at him and Pichu jumped from side to side to avoid them and then fired another lightning bolt at him. Petey leaped up into the air to avoid it and flapped his arms and remained in air, much to their surprise. "He can fly?!"
Petey lowered his head in the three Pokemon's direction and then shot forward like a missile. They got out of the way as the plant monster crashed its head onto the floor and got back up again. Turning to face them, Petey took a deep breath and then screamed at the top of his voice, unleashing a powerful supersonic sound blast that looked like a rippling beam.
Pichu cried and held down his ears as he was in pain. "PICHU!!!! MY EARS ARE BLEEDING!!!"
"You sing bad! I sing good!" Jigglypuff said angrily. "Hyper Voice!" She took a deep breath herself and then screamed out a ripple beam similar to Petey's, and both their attacks clashed into each other.
Chisame closed her ears as tightly as she could. "Ugh… I knew I should've stayed at the hotel today…"
The screaming competition kept up for a while with the two Pokemon rolling along the floor suffering from their bursting ear drums. They kept on screaming and screaming and screaming until they both stopped and panted with exhaustion. "Out of voice, you two…?" Pikachu asked.
Petey regained his energy a few seconds later and then tossed himself forward with his mouth wide open. Jigglypuff failed to escape in time and was flattened by his amazing body slam.
SLAM!
The plant monster got up and walked towards Pikachu and Pichu while Jigglypuff was flattened on the floor like a piece of paper. "Move back! Thunderbolt!" Pikachu shouted, and he released powerful lightning from all over his body. This time the voltage was strong enough to actually bring pain to Petey.
The plant monster survived the attack however and growled with rage. He reached his massive head forward and the two quickly got away as the plant monster chomped into the floor, tearing off a chunk of it before spitting it in their direction. Pichu failed to avoid an incoming piece of the floor and was knocked away. "Pichu!"
Pikachu stopped running and jumped at Petey and launched another lightning bolt at him. He landed onto his head and continued zapping him rapidly and the plant monster desperately tried to shake him off.
"Jigglypuff alive again!" Jigglypuff said. "Mega Punch!" She jumped at the monster's stomach and gave a powerful punch into it.
POW!
Petey cried in pain and then rammed his head against the wall, flattening Pikachu against it. He turned to Jigglypuff and slammed down his head in an attempt to bite her, but she got out of the way in time. Petey took a deep breath and then coughed out a sludge that fell in front of Jigglypuff and a piranha plant grew out of it.
"Jiggly!"
The plant chomped down onto Jigglypuff's head and she cried and struggled to break free, and then she started inhaling air to expand her body size until the plant could no longer hold her in its mouth, and then the inflated Jigglypuff bounced on top of the plant until she crushed it to death. "I no pudding!" she said. "I no marshmallow too!"
Petey threw himself at Jigglypuff again and she ran away as fast as she could and barely avoided getting crushed the second time. "I'm back to life!" Pichu shouted. "Thunderbolt!" He unleashed a blast of lightning at Petey and the plant monster was pissed off and coughed out a pile of sludge at him. Pichu avoided it by zipping off to the side fast and then launched another lightning bolt at him.
Petey threw out leaf blades at him and Pichu jumped up and down and moved side to side to avoid them, but was then hit in the face by a sludge. "Pi!"
Jigglypuff jumped onto Petey's head and slapped him over and over multiple times, but the slapping from the short stubby arms didn't do any good and Petey easily shook her off his head. He turned to face the puffball and shot out sludge at her. Jigglypuff somehow deflated herself into a piece of paper and being very flat; the sludge missed and passed over her.
The sludge landed next to Chisame and then a piranha plant grew out of it and growled at her. "Eeks!" she shrieked and jumped away from there. "What was that?!" She noticed a shadow loomed over here and turned around and was shocked to see Petey standing just behind her. "Yikes!" Before she could get away, Petey brought down his head and chomped down over her body and lifted her into the air. "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"
"Oh no! The monster got Chisame sis!" Pichu gasped.
She continued screaming at the top of her voice and kicked her legs furiously, but nothing could save her from slowly sliding down the plant monster's mouth. And then with a gulp, Petey swallowed her whole and rubbed his belly with delight.
A look of pure horror appeared over the three Pokemon's voice as their skin color slowly turned as pale of snow.

"The usual, right?" the barber said to Samus as she took her seat.
"Yep, the usual," she replied.
"Okay!" The barber began cutting her hair, but then she sneezed all of a sudden and tore off a huge chunk of Samus's hair in the process. "Oh no!"
-
"Who are you?" Nana asked the woman with really short-hair sitting at the living room. The hair was so short that it was only about an inch high, thus making the woman look like she's bald from a distance.
"Stop being sarcastic…" Samus grumbled.
