Okay people sorry for the delay in stories and even in filler stories. Truthfully I've been busy, or lazy, or unfocused, or... a various other number of reasons really. But that changes today as I finally bring you another Smash Filler. This one not only continues the Smash Switch arc but also ties into a story I hinted at awhile back that should be coming out soon. Key word "should". Just like the key words "DOES NOT BELONG TO ME" belongs in front of "Characters owned by Nintendo and other affiliate companies". Another key word is read, another key word is review, and hopefully the last key word is enjoy.
"Smash Filler Chapter Thirty Seven: The Tenth Switch" (Aka "Legendary Seasons" Prologue)
By DianaGohan.
The Camera panned to a hallway in the third floor of the Smash Mansion, where the Alternate Manaphy, Celebi, and Mew were shown floating around each other.
'Okay so we've checked this floor entirely right?' Alternate Manaphy asked as the other two nodded. 'And still no signs of the flute?'
'Nothing' Mew looked away sadly. 'Though truthfully after seeing Mewtwo again I haven't been giving it my... full attention-'
'We understand' Jirachi said supportively, gently rubbing his hand on the Mew's forehead. 'And once we make the legendaries, you'll have all the time in the world to find your Mewtwo.'
'Time is a key factor here' Celebi pointed out. 'Especially since we've been looking for this flute here for weeks.'
Alternate Manaphy blinked a few times. 'Weeks?' he turned to Celebi. 'It hasn't been weeks. Maybe a few hours sure but not weeks.'
'Hey as a time traveler, time goes differently for me then it does for everyone else' Celebi stated, yellow energy coursing around his body. 'And to me it feels like we've been talking about this for months, and searching for this things for weeks. Heck, it feels like this should of been done over three weeks ago.'
'I... do kind of feel that as well' Mew admitted. 'Still if it had been that long the other legendaries would of overrun Kanto by now, and we know that hasn't happened yet.'
'Which means we have to double our efforts and look for it faster' Alternate Manaphy commented. 'Which means double checking every hallway, bathroom, bedroom, stairway, anything until we find the Azure Flute.'
A white flash of light appeared in front of the three, as they looked to see Jirachi smiling wide. 'Or you could just wish for me to give it to you' Floating above Jirachi's head was a light blue wind instrument with several holes sticking up above the main mouthpiece. The other three gasped. 'Heh I wish I could see your faces. Oh wait, I can' Jirachi then blinked as a mirror appeared in front of him, showing his smiling face. 'Wow no wonder everyone says I look so cute.'
'Where did you find that?' Alternate Manaphy asked.
'The hand's bedroom area.'
Celebi rubbed his chin. 'Strange, I could of sworn we checked Master Hand's Master Bedroom a few times.'
'Oh not his, that other hand's' In a flashback Jirachi was shown wandering through a fairly dark room surrounded by dynamite, giant needles, and oddly enough rubber clown dolls. 'I looked in the place where that Crazy Hand guy was.' He then floated over to a gigantic cat shaped beanbag where the flute was shown resting. Jirachi quickly grabbed it, causing the cat beanbag to shoot flames, which burned down a portion of the room. Jirachi quickly teleported out as the flashback ended. 'Man, I wouldn't ever want to wish I knew what went through that guy's head' Jirachi admitted.
Alternate Manaphy shivered. 'Yeah I got bad vibes just going by the room. Still despite searching through like nearly all of the mansion we found it' Alternate Manaphy then grabbed the Azure Flute.
'About time' Celebi said wiping his brow. 'Otherwise we could of been searching for even more weeks to find it.'
'We were searching for weeks?" Jirachi asked confused.
'No, but I'd agree with the consensus it felt like we were' Alternate Manaphy then turned his attention to the others. 'Now the only question is who do we turn into legendaries on our world?'
"Ah-ha! There you are!" A voice shouted. The four turned around to see the Pokemon Trainer pointing at them. "And..." he gasped. "Wow, it's the stars of movie 1, 4, and 6 as well." He blinked a few times. "Is this the plot to the next Pokemon Movie?"
'No, we're just alternate versions of the Pokemon from the mansion you live in' Alternate Manaphy explained.
Pokemon Trainer gasped. "So this is the plot to the next Pokemon Movie! That must mean my evil shadow is around" The Pokemon Trainer twirled around. "Okay evil shadow whose motives, intents and general purpose I don't have any idea of yet, show yourself! Don't make fight you... me... that isn't me!"
The four looked at the trainer twirl around and start punching the air. '...I believe it is time we made our exit' Celebi commented.
Mew nodded. 'Yes, though that does give me a good idea on who we should turn into legendaries.'
'Let's discuss that more in our world' Alternate Manaphy stated as the four Pokemon quickly disappeared in a flash.
"Ah, ha, there you are!" The Pokemon Trainer had stopped spinning. "Your right... there" he pointed at a wall as he tumbled his way forward, spinning a few times. "I've got you now... me" he then smacked the wall before he hit the ground, his eyes swirling some. "Man that guy's tough" the trainer muttered before quickly shaking his head. "Hey, where did Manaphy and the others go?"
'They left' The Manaphy of this world commented, appearing right behind Trainer.
"Oh, they must of went back to fight my shadow" The trainer quickly got up and looked at Manaphy. "Hey are you the Manaphy who switched my Pokemon pals around?" Manaphy nodded. "Why did you do that?"
'I thought it would benefit everyone to have little experience in someone else's shoes' Manaphy explained.
The Pokemon Trainer scratched his head. "But Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard don't wear shoes."
'I meant more metaphorically' Manaphy floated around the young trainer. 'You see I could sense there was much annoyance and anger in your three Pokemon by scanning there minds. Most directed at either you, or each other. I figured a way to tamper that anger would be trying to experience each other's life some.'
The Pokemon Trainer nodded. "Oh I get it. It's just like the time in that show... or that other show... or that other, other show-"
'I do admit it's something that has been done before, but it will be quite effective here.'
"Sorry, but I didn't give you freedom to play games that have been played a lot" The Pokemon Trainer held out a Pokeball. "My Pokemon are suffering and you need to change them back."
'A lot of suffering is only within their own minds' Manaphy stated. 'Though truthfully, I probably should of just switched around their personalities more then their minds.'
"Why?
'It's another more subtle way to see a different perspective.'
"Hey trainers aren't about being subtle, except in contest battles to win points." The Trainer then spun the Pokeball on his finger. "Okay enough talking contests."
'You were the only one who-'
"You have two options Manaphy: You either you can go back willingly or we can battle."
Manaphy's eyes went blue for a second. 'You have nothing on hand that can defeat me young trainer.'
"Yes I do. I have heart and determination, and those things can win any battle!" The trainer then threw the ball as Chikorita was shown flying out of it. "Alright Chikorita! Win this battle for me, and then show your one sided crush by snuggling up close to me anytime your let out of your ball."
Chikorita blinked a few times confused. "Chika Chik?"
Manaphy glared annoyed at Pokemon Trainer. 'You really aren't going to let him get hurt trying to fight me are you?'
"Hey Chikorita can do it!" The Trainer made a fist. "I believe in him."
'I see that but-'
"Chikorita, Razor Leaf!" The Trainer ordered. Chikorita shot some razor leaf at Manaphy who quickly weaved around it. "Ha, now I got you!" The Pokemon Trainer took out another ball. Manaphy's eyes glowed as he quickly levitated the ball out of the trainer's hand. He then brought it right behind him. "Hey that's not official Pokemon Battle rules.
'I'm not here to battle. I'm here to help you' Manaphy then floated back some. 'The only reason you haven't been switched yet is because I haven't found the proper person to switch you with.'
"But i don't want to be switched" The trainer pointed at himself. "How can I be the world's greatest the Pokemon Trainer if I'm not me?" The Pokemon Trainer gasped. "Wait a minute if I'm not me that means... Shadow me is me!" The Trainer held out his fists. "Curse you Shadow me! I mean curse me not you shadow... wait who am I talking to again?"
Manaphy closed his eyes. 'There has to be someone I can switch him with' Manaphy glowed for a second before gasping, and opening his eyes. 'Yes of course!' Manaphy then opened his flippers. With a wave of one of them he returned Chikorita to his Pokeball. With the wave of another flipper, the electric mouse Pokemon Pikachu appeared on the floor.
"Huh?" Pikachu asked as he was shown grasping a bottle of ketchup. "Hey!" he looked around angrily. "Can't some people just snack in peace?"
"Alright, Pikachu!" The Pokemon Trainer quickly grabbed the yellow mouse Pokemon. "Hey you wouldn't know where shadow me went to would you?"
Pikachu smacked him hard in the face with his tail. "Get away from me you idiot!" Pikachu yelled. "Why the hell did you bring me here?"
"I didn't" Pokemon Trainer pointed up at a glowing Manaphy. "He did."
Pikachu looked to see a light forming around him and the trainer. "...Oh this had better not be-" sure enough two hearts appeared around the two of them, bathing them in a bright light for a few seconds.
"Mana Mana!" Manaphy said happily before flying away right as the light ended.
The Pokemon Trainer grunted and pointed at him. "I swear you..." The trainer then gasped, looking at his hand. "OH no he... he..."
"Hey, he switched us" Pikachu (aka Pokemon Trainer In Pikachu's body, or Trainer/Pikachu) pointed out, looking at his newer smaller hand. "Hey it's just like that one episode of Master Quest. Except instead of magic, it was legendary Poke... power." The new Pokemon Trainer (aka Pikachu in Pokemon Trainer's body, or Pikachu/Trainer) just stood there, mouth agape, as Trainer/Pikachu bounced on his shoulder. "I always did wonder what this would be like, and it's pretty cool" Trainer/Pikachu said happily, landing on top of his former cap. "Hey Pika Pal whose now Pika me, want to go have a montage song of all our best friend moments we'll have in each other's bodies-"
"!" Pikachu/Pokemon Trainer screamed out, tears pouring from his eyes. "NO NO NO NO NO, HELL NO! I DON'T WANT TO BE IN THIS IDIOT'S BODY! WHY OH WHY DOES THE UNIVERSE HATE ME? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
"Awww, someone seems Poke-tired" Trainer/Pikachu pointed out. "Even though your not even a Pokemon anymore-"
"YOU!" Pikachu/Trainer grabbed his former body and started shaking him roughly. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"
"I-wasn't-the-one-who-switched us-" Trainer/Pikachu managed to say between being shaken around.
"NO, BUT I'M SURE YOU WERE THE ONE WHO LET HIM OUT TO BEGIN WITH!"
"Hey.... how did you know that?"
"BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING YOU WOULD DO!" Pikachu/Trainer then dropped him to the ground. "Always ruining people's lives just because of your stupid, ignorant trainer arrogance."
"Hey I just wanted to have new Poke-Friends" Trainer/Pikachu stated.
"Friend this!" Pikachu/Trainer lifted his foot.
"Uh, are you trying to use Stomp?" Trainer/Pikachu asked. The former Pokemon screamed and nearly stomped the former trainer, who managed to move out of the way. "Oh, guess you are" Trainer/Pikachu then moved back a few steps. "Look Poke-buddy, I'd really love to Poke-battle you. But I don't think your allowed to Trainer battle in my trainer body. So maybe you should call out-"
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Pikachu/Trainer tried punching the ground hard, as Trainer/Pikachu managed to back flip away.
"Whoa, kill? That's kind of extreme" Trainer/Pikachu held out his new paws. "Can't you at least say destroy or get rid of-"
"SHUT UP AND BLEED!" Pikachu/Trainer tried punching and stomping him several times, but Trainer/Pikachu just evaded all his blows. "God damn it, not only am I in the body of the STUPIDEST person here, but the weakest and most pathetic as well."
"Hey I'm not that weak" Trainer/Pikachu rubbed his chin. "Uh.... oh remember that time I took out a Primid? That showed some real Trainer skill."
"I said shut up!" Pikachu/Trainer yelled. He then groaned as he felt his throat. "Ugh, you sound even stupider inside this body then you sound outside of it."
"That's not very nice" Trainer/Pikachu commented.
"Duh of course it isn't retard!" Pikachu/Trainer pointed at himself. "I hate you! The you in me, and the you I'm in!"
"Well I don't hate you" Trainer/Pikachu said. "Unless you were the shadow me inside the you that isn't me. You know the one who smirks all evilly at the end of the trailer for the new movie-"
"YOUR NOT ASH!" Pikachu/Trainer yelled. "BESIDES ACTING AS IDOITIC AS MOST PEOPLE ABOVE YOUR AGE GROUP PERCIEVE ASH, YOU AREN'T HIM! SO STOP ACTING LIKE HIM!"
"Well...uh...." Trainer/Pikachu looked around. He then blinked a few times before hopping along the floor, landing on top of the ketchup bottle. "You do the same thing."
"NO I DON'T!"
"Yeah you do" Trainer/Pikachu pointed down. "You act like the Pikachu from the show, with your love of ketchup and hatred of Team Rocket and that time I saw you use Volt Tackle with white swirling energy instead of blue swirling energy."
Pikachu/Trainer held out his hand. "First of all, other people like ketchup okay? Also that Pikachu only ate it in one episode so shut up. Secondly everyone with a brain stem would hate those idiots-"
"Well actually I was talking to this guy, I think his name was War...No...Zero...Lorn... Flin...terberry, and he said that it was wrong to be hating on them for... some reason or another."
Pikachu/Trainer looked down at his former body, his eyes (which some would swear were literally aflame) glaring viciously down at his former body. "You just made up that ridiculous name didn't you?"
"No, I just forgot it" Trainer/Pikachu admitted. "Just like I forgot what my name used to be"
"AHHH!" Pikachu/Trainer pounded his head a few times. "How could I be put in the body of someone so stupid they freaking FORGOT THEIR OWN NAME?!"
"The Power of the ancient Pokemon" Trainer/Pikachu then hopped up a few times and was shown landing on his former shoulder. "How about we work together and find him-"
"NO!" Pikachu/Trainer smacked the yellow rat off his shoulder and onto the floor. "I AM NOT DOING ANYTHING WITH YOU!"
"Hey we worked together that one time-"
"I don't care!" Pikachu/Trainer tried kicking the yellow rat, as Trainer/Pikachu was able to roll away from the attack. "I've had it!" He pointed at his former body. "I've had it with you!" He pointed at himself. "And your face!" He held out his hands, screaming up at the ceiling "AND EVERYONE WHO LIVES IN THIS STUPID MANSION!"
"Hey no need to be hating on everyone Pika-Pal" Pokemon Trainer/Pikachu commented.
"NO, this is the PERFECT Time!" Pikachu/Trainer crossed his arms. "You know things were fine when this whole Smash Brothers tournament first started." A flashback from SSNED 42 of Pikachu, Mario, Kirby and Link first meeting up with Master Hand. "After all I was the spokesman Pokemon of the franchise-"
"So you were the Spokesmon then?"
The flashback quickly ended as Pikachu/Trainer glared once more at his former body. "Why do I keep bothering trying to talk to you?" The former Pokemon rolled his hand. "The point being was that I had it all: Fame, success, wealth-"
"Friendship, love, someone to help you through the hard times."
"NO!" Pikachu/Trainer yelled. "Thanks to you I lost that."
"What do you mean by that?"
"That's for me to know and you to NEVER find out!" Pikachu/Trainer turned away. "What happened though made me HATE trainers like you: Ego, Ash-esque idiots who think they're so tough or so qualified to raise Pokemon" Pikachu looked at his now human fist as it started to shake. "Not ALL trainers have to aim for the top you know. Not all of them have to be the best. Some were just happy being normal... capturing only a few Pokemon... just going along on normal... fun adventures"
Trainer/Pikachu blinked a few times before gasping. "Wait are... you talking about your old trainer?" The electric mouse turned child turned his attention more away as Trainer/Pikachu jumped in front of him. "I never knew you had a trainer-"
"SHUT UP!" Pikachu/Trainer grabbed his former body by the ear and slammed him hard to the wall. "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT..." Pikachu/Trainer gasped and looked away. "NO, do not think you are going to make me do that!"
"Do what?"
"Tell you ANYTHING!" Pikachu/Trainer clarified. "You think just because I'm in your body I'm going to blab something about myself?"
"Well you should-"
"No! It's something no one is going to find out about" Pikachu/Trainer narrowed his eyes. "Even if I have to take it to the grave."
"What's that mean?" Pikachu/Trainer was then shown rushing down the hallway. Trainer/Pikachu quickly rushed after him, so much so he was shown running in front of his former body. "Oh are we going to your super special secret Poke cave?" The two then ran down a flight of stairs, Pikachu/Trainer rushed forward once more as he was shown heading into the kitchen. "Oh are you going to make yourself a Pokeblock? Or a Poffin. You know as a Pikachu I think I'd like to try a Poffin-"
"Shut, UP!" Pikachu/Trainer was then shown rummaging through one of the small drawers. "Ah, perfect" he then took out a rather large knife from one of the drawers.
"Uh are you going to try cutting me up with that?" Trainer/Pikachu asked. "Because I saw this episode of Tom and Jerry, or at least this story of Meowth and Rattata and..." The former trainer grasped as he saw his former body hold the knife to his throat. Using a lightning fast quick attack, he was able to kick the knife away from his body. "What are you doing?"
"Killing you" Pikachu/Trainer explained. "That way I won't be stuck in your miserable body anymore."
"Hey, no need to do that!" Trainer/Pikachu waved his hands. "We can just find Manaphy and switch bodies-"
"Oh and what? Have you bug me till the end of time about what I unfortunately muttered? Life another day to get crapped on by the shumcks around here? I think not" A reflection of Pikachu/Trainer's eyes appeared through the knife's gleam. "No I'm sick of it. This was the last straw."
"The last straw to taking yourself out?"
"Yes" Pikachu/Trainer quickly walked past his former body and picked up the knife again. "I'm not going to take anymore chances. I'm going to make this quick and relatively painless, unlike the rest of my life."
"Look Pika-buddy"
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Pikachu/Trainer yelled. "There is NO way I will be your friend" He then looked at his reflection once through the blade. "I'd rather die them succumb to your idiocy."
"CHUU!" Trainer/Pikachu's body tingled as he shot out a powerful blast of lightning from his cheeks. The bolt hit Pikachu/Trainer hard, making him cry out in pain as the knife fell to the floor. He then passed out, as Trainer/Pikachu was able to push him away from the blade, skidding along the floor a couple of feet. "Sorry but... no way I'm going to let that happen" he said, looking at the knock out "boy" in front of him. "I don't know know why you feel this way but I'm going to find out. I don't care if you want me to or not" Trainer/Pikachu then used his teeth to grab him by the collar, slowly dragging him along the floor. "Jeez wish there was a better way to... take you away from here" he muttered, continuing to drag him along the floor as the camera panned out.
TO BE CONTINUED!
So really what is Pikachu's deal anyway? Find out... at some point. Not next time though since like I said there is only one two part Smash Switch and it's not this one. Let's just say it's something I've planned about Pikachu's back story I'm finally hinting at here. Anyway hope you enjoyed the chapter everyone. Sorry it took so long to make but remember to review if you liked it, or have something you feel you want to convey in a review about it. And note the next story after this one I'm working on is the one I told you about. The story for Alex's "Birthday". See you there.
