Gyah, I've been lazy. _ Sorry for the late chapter, folks. Oh, and before
I forget: I changed Tuff's dream in chapter 1... See if you can guess
what's different! ~_^ Now, to reply to the reviews...
(Si)R6: Yes, it will be long. XD It's stopping at the end of the first season, though.
Serebii37: Parodies are hard to make. O_o That might explain why most parodies on Anime shows were never finished...
Blizzard Kirby: Yes, she does have a lot of time on her hands. XD You'll see her adding MORE stuff to her list throughout the story...
Yoshi and Kirby Fan: I haven't read the new book yet! I will later, though... Eh, I dun think you're odd, though.
Ivyna J. Spyder: Metamorphing isn't supposed to be a pun... I was just looking for another word for "evolve". And thanks again for the help with the names! ^_^
Habib: If you IM me, I can help you...
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or Kirby, Nintendo does... Argh, do I have to write this in every chapter!?
ON WITH THE FIC!
--------- ----------------------------------
Another one of Tiff's ear-splitting shrieks rang out through the forest.
"Geez Tiff, what's wrong THIS time?" Tuff asked.
"There's another stupid bug over there!" Tiff said, pointing to a spiky worm-like Kirbemon who was crawling on a tree branch.
"Wow, a Togezan*!" Tuff said, pointing his Meta-Dex at the bug.
(*This creature's name is also Togezo, I just changed it a bit so no one would get confused. I'm sorry though, I do not have a picture of it at the moment. It's the worm that gives you the Spike power in K:NIDL)
"Togezan. This worm uses its sharp spikes on its body to sting its opponents," Meta-Dex stated.
"COOL! A bug with spikes!" Tuff exclaimed. "I'm gonna catch it! Let's go, Kirby!" With a determined grin on his face, he turned to look at the creampuff-
who was chasing a butterfly. Tuff sighed, and grabbed two other PuffBalls.
"Fine then, Kirby... Hennie and Togezo give me the respect I deserve..."
"You deserve to have your head examined!" Tiff shouted. Suddenly she noticed that the bug had created a silk string and was crawling down towards her. She shrieked once more, and ran like heck out of the area.
"Hennie, GO!" Tuff shouted, tossing the PuffBall into the air. The ball burst open, revealing the large white bird. "Use Swoop attack!"
"Bwaak!" Hennie squawked, swooping down towards the worm.
"This'll be a piece of cake..."
------ -------
"Ugh... Bugs are so stupid... and they're EVERYWHERE in this forest..." She paused for a moment as she saw something flash out of the corner of her eye. The cappy turned around to find someone jump out at her.
"HHHIIIIYYYYAAAAAAHHHH!" the person shouted as he leapt into the air, and landed in front of Tiff. He held out a dagger threateningly. "Greetings. Am I addressing a new Kirbemon trainer from Cappytown?"
"No no no!" Tiff shouted, waving her arms around. "I've been a trainer for a few years now!"
"Great...he said, putting his dagger away. "My search continues..." He started to walk away, but stopped and turned around to look at Tiff again. "It would be best if you keep your voice down, unless you want to attract a swarm of Koozer..." With that, he walked away.
"Well, that was weird," Tiff said, blinking a bit. "I wonder why he'd want- " Realization hit her like a rock in the head. "Oh no! He's after TUFF!"
-------- --------
"Now use Dive, Hennie!" Tuff shouted. The bird dove down at Togezan, his talons ready to grab.
"Excuse me," a voice said from behind Tuff. "Are you a new Kirbemon trainer from Cappytown?"
"I'm from Cappytown," Tuff said. The person's eyes flashed. "I'm kinda in the middle of a battle, though..."
"I have found you..." The person grabbed his dagger...
"TUUUUFFFF!" Tiff screamed, running through the forest.
"What?" Tuff was getting annoyed now, but when he turned around he found himself facing a dagger. "WOAH! Whoever you are, you're not getting my Kirbemon!"
"I'm no thief... I am Benikage*!" Benikage put his dagger away once more. "I am also unbeatable in battle! And I have come to challenge you..."
(* This is the ninja from "Ninja Binge". He did not have a name in the dub, so I have to use his Japanese name.)
"If you want a battle, you'll get one... But first I gotta catch-" Tuff looked over his shoulder to find Kirby sucking up Togezan. "NO, KIRBY! SPIT 'EM OUT!"
The puffball blinked for a second, then spat the bug out of his mouth, causing it to fly deeper into the forest.
"ARGH!" the cappy shouted, stomping on the ground. He gave Benikage an angry look. "I almost had that Togezan... You just messed me up!"
"I did not! Your handling Kirbemon is stupidly clumsy..." the ninja said with a laugh.
"Wow, a boy who I can agree with..." Tiff said quietly.
"Let's begin... BUGZY! GO!" Benikage tossed a PuffBall into the air, revealing a large beetle-like creature.
"Woah, COOL! A Bugzy!" Tuff exclaimed, whipping out his Meta-Dex.
"Bugzy. This bug-like Kirbemon uses it's claws to attack it's opponents," the device stated. Tuff was starting to wonder why he even bothered to use that thing...
"Alright then... HENNIE, GO!" The white bird was already out of it's PuffBall, and it quickly fluttered to the battle field. "Start the battle with a Swoop attack!" The fowl obeyed, and dove from the sky to his opponent.
Bugzy saw this attack coming, and simply stepped out of the way, leaving Hennie to fall straight into the ground.
"ARGH!" Tuff shouted, returning the injured bird. "This isn't working... I know! Togezo, GO!"
"Not a very wise choice..." Benikage said, smirking. Bugzy stomped in front of the tiny shell, and picked it up in his claws. "Bugzy, crush it!"
"What are you doing!?" Tiff shouted at her brother. "That thing'll KILL Togezo!"
"I have a strategy this time, don't worry," Tuff replied. "Togezo! Use Stiffen!" The shell suddenly flashed, and tensed. Bugzy tried to crush the bug, only to have his claws snap.
"Poyoh!" Kirby exclaimed as he jumped for joy.
"I did it!" Tuff shouted, dancing around.
"Nice..." Benikage admitted. "But this battle isn't over... PUFFBALL, GO!" He tossed another PuffBall into the air, revealing a very familiar Kirbemon.
"What?!" Tiff shouted, watching the ball burst open, revealing a second Togezo.
"Togezo, use Stiffen, just like that one." Benikage snickered, and watched his Kirbemon glow...
------- --------
"Really sir, I don't know why you wanna wear a fake shell!" Escargoon said to his master.
"To protect meh from them Koozer!" Dedede replied, trying to pull himself with the large shell on his back.
"I'll admit I'm afraid of them too, but walking around with a fake snail shell is just ridiculous! Plus, you can just out-run them..."
"I'm not takin' no chances..." Dedede growled.
---- -----------------
The Kirbemon battle had turned into a let's-see-who's-Togezo-is-thicker contest. It had been going on for hours, neither side giving in. The Togezo's showed no sign of getting weaker. Their trainers, however, were a different matter...
Sweat poured down Tuff's face as he commanded his Kirbemon to use Stiffen. Benikage was no different. Soon, both trainers collapsed from exhaustion.
"YOU IDIOTS!" Tiff shouted. Her voice rang out through the forest, attracting some not so pleasant company. A buzzing sound was heard, and some odd, black, round, winged creatures with stingers flew towards the battling group.
"Looks like your sibling has attracted the Koozer! We'll continue the match later... Goodbye!" Benikage returned his Kirbemon, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Tooooogeeeee!" Togezo screamed as he was picked up by a Koozer.
"NO! Kirby, use Suck It Up on that Koo-" Tuff stopped, noticing that Kirby was running away with Tiff. "Return!" Tuff pointed a PuffBall at Togezo, only to find that it was too far away to call back.
"Come on, Tuff!" Tiff called. Tuff looked at the swarm of Koozer, then at Tiff, and quickly ran to his older sister. She pulled him into a bush, where they found Kirby and Benikage. "We'll be safe here."
"Piyoh!" Kirby mewed, pointing to a tree.
"I think we chose a bad place to hide..." Benikage stated, looking at the tree fearfully. For on those branches, there were hundreds of Gordo sticking to the wood. They were waiting for the day of their Metamorphosis...
"Gordo," Meta-Dex stated. "This Kirbemon is the Metamorphed form of Togezan. They stay completely still until they change into Koozer."
"I-I think w-w-we chose a bad time to c-c-come here too!" Tiff said shakily. The Gordo started to glow and the shells dropped to the ground, revealing newly-hatched Koozer. The bee-like Kirbemon glared down at the intruders, and started to buzz towards them.
"Let's get outta here!" Tuff yelled, grabbing Kirby's paw and starting to run. The others wasted no time in running away, either.
"Follow me, I know where we can hide!" Benikage stated. Not too far away was a small cabin- the ninja's home. Everyone ran in and slammed the door, causing the Koozer to run straight into the wall.
"That was close..." Tiff sighed, sitting down to take a breather.
"Well, you sure showed me with that little battle of yours, Dimwit..." The young ninja snickered.
"Take that back!" Tuff growled.
"Take it back? Why? You're the one who just left your Kirbemon out there to die..." Tuff suddenly stopped as Togezo's cry echoed through his mind. "It'd be best if we all get some rest. It's getting late."
Everyone but Tuff slept that night. The memory of Togezo being captured was haunting him...
---- -----------------
Tuff ventured out on his own in the early morning, looking for his captured Kirbemon. He assumed it'd be nearby the Koozer nest, so that's where he was headed for. That's when he heard two voices that he had hoped he wouldn't hear that day...
"Prepare for trouble!"
"Make it double!"
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"NOT NOW!" Tuff interrupted.
"Aw, and I got it right that time..." Dedede whined.
"Forget the motto for now, Triple-D," Escargoon suggested.
"Awight then..." The overweight penguin turned to Tuff. "Hand ovah that there Kirbeh of yours!"
"I don't have him, and even if I did I wouldn't be stupid enough to-" Tuff stopped, realizing he was sounding like his sister.
"You liar! Ah know you have Kirbeh with ya! Let's go, Escahgoon!" The bird bashed his Kirbemon with a mallet, causing him to use his "Shell Roll" attack.
The young cappy turned back to the Koozer nest, only to find that they had woken up, and were flying at him.
"Only one way to dodge them..." Tuff closed his eyes, covered his face, and ran straight at the swarm. By luck, none of the Kirbemon hit him.
"...uh oh." Dedede's eyes widened as the huge bug swarm started to fly towards him.
"Dedede! Use the snail shell!" Escargoon shouted, taking cover in his own natural house.
"Ah would if ah could, but I used the shell as a pillow last night..." The penguin held up the flattened shell, and looked up at the Koozer, eyes widening.
------ ---------------
"TOGEZO!" Tuff shouted, spotting his friend sitting behind the tree. "Come with me, I'll help ya!" The shell looked up at his master, and stayed still. "What are ya doin'!? Come with me!" The Kirbemon still refused. "COME ON!"
A Koozer swooped down at both of them, and Tuff quickly grabbed his Kirbemon and started to run.
"I didn't leave you to die, Togezo. Benikage distracted me with his smoke trick!" Seeing his friend did not seem to listen, Tuff finally admitted his mistake. "No... It was my fault. I shouldn't have even continued that Stiffen match. I knew neither of us would win, I was just... stubborn."
"To-GE!" Togezo leapt out of Tuff's arms, and into the air.
"What are you doing!?" That's when he noticed the Koozer flying at him with his stinger out. Togezo blocked the attack, and fell to the ground, the shell cracked. "NO!"
The cappy ran to his wounded friend, and picked him up.
"You've GOTTA be okay, Togezo! Ya just gotta..."
"TUFF!"
"Poyoh!"
Tiff, Benikage, and Kirby ran up to Tuff, looking at his Kirbemon.
"Oh Tuff, I'm so sorry..." Tiff put her hand on her brother's shoulder. Tuff just looked at her, and his face broke into a grin.
"There's no need to be sorry! Look!" He held up the shell, which cracked completely in half. A round, pink, butterfly-like creature flew out.
"Bronto Burt. Once Togezo grows too big for it's shell, it cracks open and becomes a Bronto Burt," Meta-Dex stated.
"It's great that your Kirbemon metamorphed," Benikage said. "But THE KOOZER ARE BACK!"
"Don't worry, my new Bronto Burt can handle that!" Tuff said, his smile somehow getting bigger. "Bronto Burt, use Head Hammer!"
The butterfly replied by darting directly at the entire swarm of Koozer. He rammed into every one of them, causing them to fall from the sky like rain.
"YA DID IT! YEEEEEEEAAAAAHHAAAAWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Tuff exclaimed, dancing around. Kirby and Bronto Burt joined this dance, making the three look very silly.
----- ------------------
"Thanks for showing us the way out, Benikage," Tuff said, shaking the young ninja's hand. "Too bad we didn't finish the battle..."
"No problem. I'm sure our paths will cross another day..." Benikage replied.
"Just try not to act so stupid and stubborn with the battle next time..." Tiff told the two trainers.
(Wow, I made an entire sentence with every word starting with a T! :D *brick*)
Everyone chuckled a bit, remembering the Stiffen match. With that, Tiff, Tuff, and Kirby walked down the road to Grape Gardens Town.
