Chapter Twenty-Eight: Frosted Glacier

Four days have passed since Day Four of Month Twink. Four days can accomplish many things in the Grand Rose. Here are these accomplishments:

On all four days, each of the heroes trained immensely as Rosalina was still helping them find a way to restore the dark energy of the Crystal Sun. They were pushing themselves to the test. Lupo and Vivian became increasingly skilled in the arts of fighting, and Soulola learned how to follow the commands of Link in case he needed help fighting. RAWR also learned how to take commands from Adelenn (She also learned how to give out those commands, as well). All ten of the heroes learned the ability to move so fast that it seems as though they teleport, but some of their speeds surpass teleportation. Prior to that, only a few knew how to do it, including Link, Rosalina, and a handful of other martial arts masters. This technique is known as "Shift."

Later on, Mario's birthday passes on Day 6 of Month Twink. The heroes, along with Marvisshla and Rosalina, celebrate his birthday with delicious foods such as cake, succulent meats like ribs and steak, and even some sodas, as well. Mario would become 25 years of age on this day.

The following day, Day 7 of Month Twink, was Link's supposed date of birth. He would officially become the age of a man; age 18. Like Mario, they celebrate with usual festivities such as food and drink. Link was a little bit disappointed that day, however. He was getting older. He wanted to stay a little bit younger so that life would be more entertaining for him. On the bright side, he was becoming wiser, and could do more things that he wasn't able to before (legally, of course).

The story continues from here…

YEAR STAR STAR: MONTH TWINK: DAY 8

Mario was asleep in his bed again. These days, he was always the last to wake up. "Oooh, Mama Mia. How long did I sleep for THIS time?" He groans, scratching his head while looking for the time. It was decently early for waking up. It was 10:00 in the morning. The Grand Rose was looking beautiful today. The birds were outside and the sun was shining brilliantly. It was a good day for adventure like no other.

He checks outside of the Bedroom to see literally everyone resting in the grass of the Observatory. Rosalina was nearby, sitting on a desk as she works on the Crystal Sun. Her face was fixed to a serious expression. She was hard at work, and she looked as if she was nearly done with what she was doing. Mario sighs in relief. He sees that everyone is fine and well, and it gives him a sense of relaxation.

Mario puts on his red cap, shirt and overalls. He puts his gloves on last before heading outside to say hello to his friends. "'Ello!" He smiles, waving at the heroes. They wave back at him.

Link was drinking some Lon Lon Milk that was saved in the Kitchen. He was exhausted from training so vigorously that he drank milk for an hour. Everyone else was just taking in the sun, even Vivian. They were patiently waiting for Rosalina to finish her work.

Adelenn was talking to Marvisshla, and getting to know her better. "So, they fed me this oatmeal stuff when I was in slavery, and it tasted icky!" Adelenn says in disgust, sticking her tongue out while making Marvisshla laugh. "Hehehe. I always thought oatmeal tasted fantastic. Your father absolutely hated it! I guess I know what side of the family YOU come from!" She states, thinking about oatmeal.

Mario notices that the ground around them has been sucked dry of energy. He knows it's from Adelenn, but he doesn't understand why it happens in the first place. "Hmmm… so weird…" He rubs his mustache.

"It's because she's one of the deadliest types of Demon Queens out there." Geno says, putting his arm on Mario's shoulder. He takes the hint and gives him a pound. "There are several different types of Demon Queens. There are eight types of Demon Queen that are considered the most dangerous. Gaian Gutter, Ocean Wave, Golden Ray, Rockslide Rampage, Dragon Mail, Blackened Blaze, Poison Splash and Glacier Skew. The three most dangerous are the Golden Ray, Blackened Blaze, and Gaian Gutter Demon Queens." He pauses for a moment to catch his breath.

"The Golden Ray Demon Queen, which Marvisshla is, has the ability to use light and light-based magic in various ways. Any sun is such a key weapon to a Demon Queen like the Golden Ray. This is considered the third of the strongest, as it is unfortunately the softest of the three. It doesn't pack as much of a punch as the others." He explains. Mario opens his eyes. "Wow… That's intense." He says.

"The second deadliest is the Gaian Gutter Demon Queen." Geno continues. "Gaian Gutters have absolute control of the environment. Plants, inanimate objects, suns, entire planets… even some animals can be controlled limitlessly by the Gaian Gutter. I think one such Demon Queen was the main reason why Demons can't reproduce as often as they like… but I learned quickly that this type of Demon Queen would've been the absolute strongest if it were not for the deadliest of them all…"

"Blackened Blaze." Jaraberutzu whispers, standing tall right behind both of them. They both become startled by this, and Mario's skin jumps (Geno doesn't have skin, he's controlling a wooden puppet). "Whoa… scared me there." Geno sighs. Jaraberutzu giggles. "I can't be with Mr. Hot-Stuff over there, so I just decided to see you guys." She says, looking at Link. "Now, about the Blackened Blaze Demon Queen…"

"You've noticed how she can suck the life out of things with her new power subconsciously, regenerate, and is invulnerable to Fire and Electricity, right? Well, here's the thing… She's not supposed to be able to do ANY of that. Even in that new form of hers. The Blackened Blaze is known to be highly resistant to most forms of magic, especially fire. However, due to the immense power of Adelenn already accomplished before that, she's progressed further. She is completely invulnerable to fire and electricity. She cannot become exhausted. She cannot lose her magic. She cannot lose her mana, energy or aura, and there's no way to change that. It's all part of her nature." Jaraberutzu explains.

"She was already as strong as a Demon Queen the moment we met her." Mario gulps due to his realization. "Wow… we really are becoming stronger."

"I'VE GOT IT!" Rosalina's voice booms in pride and accomplishment, rumbling the very ground so immensely that it caused some of the heroes to fall over. "HOLY Hammer Bros. from 5-2. That was a Magnitude 10." Patricia growls, with Link laughing at her. "Haha! THAT caused you to fall!? That was hardly even anything!"

With this commotion, everyone wanted to know what was going on. They all gather around Rosalina, and look into the dull Crystal Sun. "What happened, Lady Rosalina?" Mario asks the goddess. "I had miscalculated something. Deathstone was not the cause of the disruption. It was Soulrock, which is essentially the same planet in a universe that is close by. Merlon had informed me about it this morning." Rosalina explains.

Mario has seen Merlon before. Merlon was a magician in Flipside, a realm where hidden doors led to all of the other existing realms, also known as the other universes. At first, only a few were made. Now, billions of them exist, all waiting for someone to enter them.

"That's interesting. Your assumptions are almost never wrong." Geno wonders. "It may be because of how fragile and strangely unique this version of Kaicho was. I was not able to pick it up very well, and the connection was rearranged once I picked it up. This was not done by anyone, however. A simple mix-up."

Marvisshla was somewhat relieved. "That's swell… now we don't have a bone to pick with anyone." She smiles. This makes Adelenn smile as well. "Yeah! We're all good!" She states, throwing up her hand for a sign of victory.

However, the heroes were still stuck on finding a way to restore the Crystal Sun. "So what do we do now? That Crystal Sun isn't gonna fix itself." Link sighs, resting his head on his hand. Rosalina smiles. "Simple, my dear." She starts. This makes Link nervous. 'Oh PLEASE don't do anything reckless this time.' He thinks carefully.

"All you have to do is use Kaicho." She says. "…Wait, that's it?" Link asks. "Cool. This might be easier than we thought." Mario smiles.

"On the Dark Moon." Rosalina finishes.

"DARN IT!" Link shouts angrily, throwing his hat into the ground.

The Dark Moon is a dangerous object. Like a Full Moon, the Dark Moon comes out once a month. However, the Dark Moon randomly comes out once during that month. There is no specific way to tell when it comes out. It is dangerous enough to awaken ghosts other than Boos, and any under its influence will run amuck for about a day or so. Luigi once had to repair the Dark Moon so that King Boo would stop messing around with the people in the Mushroom Kingdom.

"The Dark Moon?!" Vivian was shocked. "The Dark Moon shouldn't be tampered with! Using Kaicho on the Dark Moon would cause a really BAD disturbance in the flow of nature! Rosalina, are you SURE we should be doing this?" The Pokémon agree with Vivian. "Rawr Rawr! Rwwr!" RAWR growls softly. "Sooool." Soulola whimpers, hugging Link tightly with her sharp claws. "Everything's okay, Soulola. Don't worry about it, cutie!" He says, throwing her up in the air and occupying her with laughter.

Rosalina giggles this time. "Hmmhmm… Vivian, I must say… you are indeed correct about that. Using Kaicho on the Dark Moon is very risky. However, I said nothing about using it on the main source of the Dark Moon. Lupo, I suppose you know what I speak of?" Rosalina calmly asks. Lupo nods.

"Yep. Here's the thing, guys." She huddles up closely to the table, and everyone else does the same. "So, I've been researching caves along with doing construction. It turns out that some chunks of the Dark Moon fell during some key excavation centers. Two of these crash sites are still in use. If we go there, we'd be in big trouble since we're considered outlaws by Princess Peach. There is a third one, but it's gonna be treacherous. It's in 5-2."

Mario jumps up in excitement. "WORLD 5-2!?" He shouts. He's been to World 5-2 before. It was cold, dank and misty. Hammer Bros. were everywhere during the daytime. They would release these hammers and throw them at him. It was a treacherous land, and Mario learned patience and timing in that world.

Rosalina smiles. "Mario. From the look on your face, you seem to have been there before. You are well prepared for this small journey." She says. "As for the rest of you, you must be careful. It was not like the last time where enemies were weak enough to simply jump on. Bowser, along with his army, have gotten stronger. Don't underestimate them."

"Got it." Link smiles. "Soool!" Soulola says at the same time, licking Link's face. "This is going to be interesting. We're going back into Mario's roots." Geno smiles. "Ya think, lightweight!? This is my little cousin we're talking about!" Lupo pats his back. "YAAY! NES days, here we come!" Adelenn loudly states.

"HOWEVER," Rosalina begins again. "Since you have just met with Marvisshla, I suggest that you take her along with you. It would be nice for you to know her some more. Does anyone disagree?"

"MOMMY!" Adelenn squeals, tackling her mother and squeezing her tightly. "Oh, my! I never thought I'd be attacked so suddenly by my daughter." Marvisshla laughs heartily with everyone else.

Vivian takes out the Magical Map to see the Mushroom Kingdom. So, where IS World 5-2? I've never been there before." Vivian asks with a confused expression. Mario gently takes the map from her and points. He points at a land that's been nearly frozen over. It's right next to Princess Peach's Castle, and to the left of it.

"This is Frosted Glacier. We can travel there by car, but-"

Suddenly, Rosalina causes yet another Magnitude 10 Earthquake when she hears this. "Excuse me?" She growls. Mario's eyes open wide, and he looks back at Vivian with a nervous expression. "…Lady Rosalina despises cars. The last time she saw a car, she blew it up by looking at it."

"You eleven may still use the car in the back. I simply despise them with a burning passion." Rosalina says, trying to keep calm. Mario then sighs with relief. "Alright, who knows how to drive?" He asks everyone.

Only Patricia and Link raise their hand. "…Oh. That's right. Not many people use cars in the Grand Rose. That's all on Earth." Mario says, disappointed. "Oh, well. I guess I'll drive. I'm one of the more careful ones at it, anyway."

"I can drive too, Mario." Link excitedly states. "You don't have a driver's license." Mario grumbles. "BUT WE'RE ALREADY OUTLAWS!" Link shouts, frowning. "You're such a kid, Link." Patricia sighs.

LATER THAT DAY…

All eleven of the heroes were inside of a giant yellow car. They were driving down a brick road that supposedly led to the Frosted Glacier. Somehow, it fit all eleven of them, for it was the size of a small pickup truck. "…Cozy. Even though I'm hitting the roof every now and then." Marvisshla whispers in the front of the truck. She looks back to see her daughter sticking her head out the window. "YAAAAY!" Adelenn screams with joy. She's never been inside of a car, and it excited her very much.

"…Who would've known that my baby girl would become the Demon Queen? She's such a sweetheart, and doesn't seem to bother with any formalities… A little girl at the heart, a Queen in the flesh…

"And a Warrior in the spirit." She says. Lupo smiles. "Well, she certainly does have the qualities of each of them. Especially with how pretty she is! I get a little jealous sometimes!" She says. Marvisshla couldn't help but laugh. "Haha, she is! She's like a little angel from the great sky."

"With a smokin' hot bod." Link adds.

"SHUT IT, YOU." Patricia swings a fist at his face. "Anyway, how come she's such a sweetheart, anyway? Aren't Demons supposed to be more aggressive?" Patricia asks, looking at Geno. He shrugs. "I dunno. It's a mystery." He says.

"Well… I kinda suffer from the same problem she does, except it didn't mess with my intelligence." Marvisshla explains. "See, I was not like other Demons when I was growing up. When most Demon Children would probably steal each other's food and such, I would give someone food if they needed it or asked for it. I was born like this, and I was sweet and kind as well. So, I'm actually a bit glad that she bears the same mental illness. She'll have to grow up someday, though."

The car falls silent for a moment, except for Adelenn, who was still screaming her lungs out. "So what about Adelenn's quick regeneration? I've never seen it happen before!" Link asks, breaking the silence. "Sol!" Soulola was also interested because Link was interested.

"I was the one who developed it. Nobody else has regeneration as quick as I do. Even if you were to cut off all of my four limbs, my body would grow each of them back, and the pain would be gone. If Adelenn truly inherited this, then it may be the same, or even faster. When did she develop the regeneration?" She asks. "Right after advancing from being a Demon Child to a Demon. She grew her heart back when it was pierced." Geno answers.

Marvisshla pauses for a moment. "She developed it way earlier than I did. I was 40 when I received my wings, and I was 2,000 when I became Demon Queen." She wonders. "Adelenn became the Demon Queen the week after she became a grown Demon. She's only 25." Vivian adds.

"Interesting… She has a fast rate of growth… It must be in the family. Even I was growing fast for a Demon, but it pales in comparison to Adelenn." She puts her hand on her chin. "Her slave master certainly kept her in shape, but to go through such extensive training sounds improbable."

Adelenn picked up what Marvisshla says, and puts her head back in the car. "Heehee! Silly Mommy! Fuego wouldn't teach me anything 'cuz he thought I was weak! I just trained while he was asleep, and I became a whole bunch stronger! He also told me you abandoned me, and that was a giant LIE!" She growls.

"Yes. I'd think he would say something like that to put down your hopes. Only a truly evil person would separate mother and child. That's why I've been searching for you. So that we would be separated no longer."

Marvisshla then takes a long look at Geno, and back at Adelenn. For a moment, he was starting to get nervous, and not because of her Voided Eye. 'Why is she staring at me like that?' He wonders. She giggles. "Hmmhmm. I know that the Demon Lord Jaraberutzu is not your wife. You interact with her so little compared to Adelenn. You hang around Adelenn a lot as well." She says.

Following that, she gasps. "Wait a minute… Does that mean… you're in love with Adelenn!?" Marvisshla didn't know how to follow up with her own sentence, and neither did Geno. "N-N-N-MAYBE!?" He says in a panic. Marvisshla laughs. "HEEHEEHEE! You're in love with my daughter! How cute! Young Love is especially amusing!"

"How is it young love when I'm more than thirty-nine thousand years older than Adelenn?" Geno asks. Marvisshla stops laughing. "…Does that make you a child predato-"

"OF COURSE NOT!"

Mario speeds the car up a little bit. "Oh no oh no oh no OH NO." He growls angrily. Suddenly, the car increases in speed rapidly. "Eh? What's going on, Mario!?" Link asks, holding Soulola tightly. "You know that guy that keeps following us every now and then?" He asks. Link nods. "Yeah, that guy. What about him?"

"He's chasing us right now."

"BWAHAHAHAHA! TRY AND RUN AWAY FROM ME NOW, MARIO!" Roars a familiar voice.

Behind Mario's yellow car was a massive purple car, designed with yellow lines, and it came with cannons mounted at the front. It had a mean-looking face on the grill of the car, and for some reason, the entire car sparkles with neon colors. Attached to this car were spikes that were spikier than Bowser's hair.

…Did I forget to mention that Bowser was driving such a vehicle? I think I did.

"FIRE!" The large Koopa shouts loudly, slamming buttons on the two Banzai Bill Blasters. Each one shoots a massive Banzai Bill, and they lock in on Mario's car. Luckily, Mario was driving fast enough for them to not make contact with the car.

"Grrr… What do we do now? It's too dangerous for us to fight back, as one of us could be left behind by mistake!" Link says, pulling Adelenn back into the car. "I dunno! We better figure out something! We can't get sidetracked!" Mario growls, pumping more gas into the car.

"Hey, what's that?" Marvisshla asks, pointing in front of them. In the road, there were clear boxes that contained some sort of item. They couldn't tell what it is due to the large question mark blocking the way. "It's an Item Block! Mario, grab it quickly!" Geno stands up in his seat, urging his friend to move faster. "On it!" Mario smirks, speeding up.

He rams his vehicle right into the Item Block, and Mario receives a banana.

"…A Banana?" Marvisshla says, unimpressed. "OOOH! I'M HUNGRY!" Adelenn squeals, trying to eat the banana in Mario's hand. "No, Adelenn! This is for tossing out the window." Mario explains, looking back at Bowser while avoiding the onslaught of Banzai Bills. "Yeah, Adelenn. Don't eat Mario's long, tasty banana. He needs to save it for the princess." Jaraberutzu giggles. "SHUT UP, WOMAN! WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEATED BATTLE!" Geno shouts.

Mario tosses the banana out of the window. He waits for Bowser to run right over it. "HA! I'VE GOT YOU ON THE ROPES NOW, PLUMBER! SAY GOODBYE T-"

Bowser's car slips right over the banana, and spins out of control. "WAAAH! What kind of NASTY trap is this!? I didn't think Item Blocks would be HERE!" Bowser's voice then begins to lose itself in the distance.

RAWR and Soulola laugh all the way through. "SO-SOOOOL! ABSOL!" Soulola squeaks. She then gives RAWR a high-five with her left paw. "Rawr!" RAWR barks happily. They think that with this, they could get away safely. There seems like no way Bowser could catch up with them.

"Oh, no you DON'T! I'm not letting the likes of you escape from me!" Bowser roars, creating a Magnitude 7 Earthquake as he does so. Link is completely alert of this. "Watch out, guys. He's coming this way!

Soon, Bowser starts shooting even more Banzai Bills at their car. Each Banzai Bill causes an explosion that makes a crater in the road. Mario carefully turns around these to not end up hitting a pothole. "DON'T RUN AWAY FROM ME, MARIO! FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN!" Bowser roars, speeding up fast enough so that he places in front of the heroes.

This time, instead of swiveling the Banzai Bill Blasters around, Bowser decides to throw explosive soccer balls at the heroes to be used as a smokescreen. "Whoa!" Mario shouts, trying to fan away the smoke. Meanwhile, he grabs another Item Block by running over it. "Well, he certainly has the balls to face us." Jaraberutzu snickers quietly.

"What did you get?" Link shouts over the sound of the explosions. Mario merely smirks. "Our ticket outta here." He says.

In his hand was a blue shell. It had wings on it, and was as spiky as a Spiny. It was ready to soar into the sky. "Hold the phone! You're gonna use THAT!?" Vivian gasps in horror. "That Spiny Shell is going to wipe out Bowser's car! DO IT NOW!" Link shouts. "No, don't do it! You might get us in the blast, too!" Vivian shouts back.

"DO IT!"

"DON'T DO IT!"

Mario couldn't handle it anymore, and releases the Spiny Shell. When he does, it soars gracefully into the sky, and makes a beeline straight for Bowser's snazzy car. "Heehee! That's sure to get him!" Mario smirks.

However, when the smoke clears, he was thoroughly disappointed.

He was right next to Bowser when he threw the Spiny Shell. "OH, COME ON!" Mario slams his hand on the wheel. "Can't handle the heat, little man!? I'm gonna make sure I plant your face into the ground! Prepare yo-"

He then takes notice of the Spiny Shell that is advancing towards him. With this, he drops both Soccer balls, and looks at it with a deathly glare. "…I hate you, Mario." He mutters.

The Spiny Shell makes contact with Bowser's car, and a massive, blue explosion occurs. The sheer ferocity of the blast was enough to make the heroes squeeze their eyes shut. "MAMA MIAAAAAAA!" Mario shouts. "UWAAAAAAAAH!" Everyone else screams, getting caught in the blast as well.

A MINUTE OR SO LATER…

There was a lot of debris and rubble covering the area in which the Spiny Shell landed. Both cars were completely destroyed in the impact. There was silence, for the heroes were trying to lay low.

That is, until Link completely pulverizes the debris on top of him. With one punch, he was able to remove the giant rocks off of his body. "ACHOO!" He sneezes. Link is mildly allergic to dust. "Excuse me."

"YOU FOOL!" Patricia growls, removing all of the rocks from her own body, and tackling Link with his back turned. The end result was a very greasy, shiny Patricia on top of a calm, collected Link. "You let us get hit with that!? You're a jerk!" She shouts, smacking him with the back of her hand. He just laughs. "Simmer down, Patricia. All that stress is going to end up as fuel for your chest. Or was it the Donuts-"

"IT WAS THE DONUTS, YOU!" Patricia delivers another backhand. "Wait, where's Soulola? SOULOLA! WHERE ARE YOU, BABY GIRL!?" Link shouts aloud, seeing if Soulola would respond. Patricia gasps. "You're right! Where did Soulola go? Did she slip out of your bag?" She asks. Link checks the bag to find nothing. "Uh oh." Link says.

"AB-SOL!"

A strike of lightning approaches a pile of stalagmites next to Link. It crashes down with immense force, causing the stalagmites to break easily. Within lies Soulola, as she was just finishing up using Thunder, a powerful electrical attack. Immediately afterwards, she looks for Link. "Sol?" She asks herself, scanning the area for Link. She turns around to find Link a few feet behind her, and leaps immediately. "ABSOOOL!" She squeals. She pounces onto Link's chest, and starts bite-kissing him in the lip.

"Hey, baby girl! We missed you!" Link smiles, hugging Soulola tightly. "Soool!" She squeals, pointing at the rocks in the distance. Apparently, those were where the other heroes were, and they all broke out just as easily. "Whoa." Geno gasps for air, even though he doesn't need it.

On the other side was the true problem. Bowser was not injured by the attack OR covered in debris. In fact, he was standing up straight. "You guys are slow. I got that stuff off of me like THAT." He snaps his large, scaly fingers. Link laughs. "What a kidder. So, who do you wanna fight, Bowser? Your choice." Link says.

Bowser counts each of the fighters that he sees. Mario tells Adelenn to step back so that Bowser doesn't die due to her life-draining mana. "One, two… three… Hehe, there's nine of you. How cute." Bowser says, laughing at the fact that there are only nine humanoids that he is able to fight. "I could take all of you down with a glare. This fight is meaningless at this point."

"Oh, uh, hey. Bowser." Link had already used Shift to place himself right onto Bowser's shoulder without anyone noticing. "You see, there are two Pokémon there as well, and they know how to fight. One is RAWR, and the other is my baby girl Soulola. Animals can fight too, ya know." He smirks before dodging a lethal attack from Bowser.

"Quit toying with me, punk! How'd you move so fast?" He asks. Link shrugs. "What do you mean? I've always been able to move this fast. Maybe you're just getting slower." He replies. "GRRRR! THAT'S A LOAD OF GARBAGE! I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU MOVE THAT FAST IN MY LIFE!" He roars, swiping at Link a second time. Link simply parries it with his finger. "See, this is why I handicap myself even when Master Hand sets up a handicap. I'll end up being an SS Tier, and I wouldn't really get much time with my friends and that lovely grease machine over there." Link states. "So, if you would please choose someone to fight rather than lash out at someone, it'd be nice."

"…That must be why there's never been an SS Tier Smash fighter." Mario wonders in monotone. His voice then springs back to life. "Link would be the first SS Tier if he allowed himself to ever go at full power. He's such a monster when it comes to fighting that he would purposely bring himself DOWN."

"Grrrrrrr! Fine! I choose YOU, AND WHOEVER ELSE YOU WANT TO FIGHT ME WITH! Bring it on, tiny!" Bowser roars, and Link allows him to punch his face. It was ineffective in even moving Link, even though the attack sent large boulders flying everywhere.

"Seriously, Bowser. How do you expect to beat me if you're not going to get serious yourself? Come on, I know you can do better than that!" Link shouts. He hasn't even begun to reach for the Master Sword.

Nearly everyone's heart sank when they saw Link take that hit like it was nothing. However, they were more upset that Link was taking his sweet time. "Link, we have a place to be! Wrap this up, please!" Mario asks kindly. Link shakes his head.

"Not yet. I wanna check something first." Link smiles, and takes a look at Soulola. "Soulolaaaa! Baby Girl! Why don't you have your first real battle?" He calls, cupping his hands to make sure she was listening.

"You're making a baby Pokémon fight? I'm a bit suspicious about this choice." Marvisshla says, holding her mace and scimitar in her hands. Link turns around to explain. "See, that's what I thought as well, but it turns out that Soulola also wants to try her hand at a battle. She's been fending for herself for about a month by taking on massive Pokémon. She says she's even taken down a Garchomp. Technically, I'm not making her fight." He says.

"I'm just giving her the OK."

Soulola jumps directly in front of the deadly Koopa King. She growls a little bit. "Sooool. Absol." She says, her teeth clenched together. Somehow, she musters up the courage to fight against Bowser, who towers over her by an amazing fourteen feet.

"BWAHAHA! YOU think you can stop ME with such a puny and pathetic-looking Pokémon? I DARE you to!" Bowser laughs, rumbling the ground. Link does not react at all. Instead, he looks at Soulola, who looks right back at him. "Sol?" Soulola asks.

"Yeah, you can use Volt Tackle. Go right ahead." Link smiles. "ABSOL!" Soulola barks, immediately facing Bowser. Everyone else Shifts out of the way. "Huh? What did you say it was gonna use on m-"

Suddenly, Soulola rams into Bowser with immense electricity and power. It was so strong that it caused Bowser to throw up some spit. 'Ugh… I think that was my lunch.' Bowser thinks to himself. "ULP! HERE IT COMES!"

Chapter Twenty-Eight End… Ew…
