Hiya folks. BabyCharmander here. I finally got off my lazy rear and wrote an episode of Kirbemon. As always, I must reply to the reviews.

Dan the Man510- Thanks. ^_^ X- Meh, I don't really like the second season on anyway. Thanks for the help, though. Pyrasaur- You'll see. And yes, Sailor Dee is cute. XD

Disclaimer- Pokemon is copyright Nintendo, Kirby is copyright Hal Labs, and the new character is mine. (The name of the character is MetaKirby's idea.)

On with the fic!

"I'LL SHOW HIM! I'LL SHOW THAT JERK! I'LL SHOW THEM ALL!" Tuff said, running as fast as he could towards Orange Ocean town.

"POOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYOH!" Kirby yelled, still chasing after Tuff.

"Hey, wait for us, Tuff!" Tiff shouted, still a little far behind.

"Hurry up, Escahgoonie!" Dedede said, crawling through a vent. Escargoon was in front of him, crawling very, very slowly.

"I'm crawlin' as fast as I can, sir!" Escargoon replied. "Here we go..." He opened the vent in front of him, and slid out.

"Awight, let's go-" the penguin suddenly stopped. "Uh, Escahgoon?"

"Yes?" the snail turned around to find Dedede stuck in the vent.

"A lil' help here..." Dedede struggled to pull himself free.

"Sire, you REALLY should go on a diet sometime..." Escargoon said, pulling on Dedede's arms.

With one strong pull, Escargoon was able to free Dedede from the vent. However, the overweight penguin fell directly on top of Escargoon.

"That'll leave a mark..." the snail groaned.

Dedede got up and scrutinized the room.

"Tell me, Triple-D, what exactly are we supposed to steal in here?" Escargoon rubbed his shell painfully as he waited for a response.

"That..." The penguin grinned evilly as he eyed a giant machine...

The next morning, the trio of trainers arrived at Orange Ocean Town.

"Hey, what's that?" Tiff spotted a large group of people surrounding a department store.

"Come on, let's find out!" Tuff started to walk towards the group to investigate.

"Ugh, large crowds..." Meta-Knight took a few steps back. "No thank you, I'd rather stay away from such a large group of people."

"Huh?" Tiff looked back at Meta-Knight, who was now slowly slinking away. "What's wrong, Meta-Knight?"

"Wha'd she say?" one of the voices in the crowd asked.

"Did she just say Meta-Knight!?"

"She did!! Look, there he is!!"

"Not again!" Meta-Knight exclaimed as he started to run. A group of female Cappies was now chasing him.

"Poy...oh?" Kirby questioned.

"...Um," was all Tuff managed to say.

"I wonder what that was about..." Tiff blinked in confusion, then looked back at the crowd. "Well, are we gonna find out what this is about or not?"

"Yeah, let's go... then we'll look for Meta-Knight." Tuff picked up Kirby, and walked up to the crowd.

"Excuse me," Tiff said, looking at one of the officers. "What happened here?"

The officer turned around and looked at the two kids. "There was a robbery here... Some crooks stole a giant vaccume..."

"Hey, I know you!" Tuff exclaimed. "You're Chief Bookem!"

"Yes, that's me... but I don't know you..." Bookem said, looking at Tuff.

"How could you not remember me!? I was the one who brought in Kirby when he was hurt, and you showed me how to get to the Kirbemon center..."

"Hm. You must be talking about one of my brothers..." Chief Bookem thought for a moment, then looked at Tiff and Tuff again. "Say, how do I know that you're not making that story up, and that you're the REAL robbers!?"

"WHAT!?" Tiff went wide-eyed in fear. "No! No! We would never steal anything!"

"That's what they all say!" Bookem whipped out a pair of handcuffs.

"NO! Really, we're not robbers! Here, here's proof!" Tuff pulled out MetaDex, and opened it.

"This MetaDex belongs to Tuff Ebrum of Cappytown. Tuff is an official Kirbemon trainer, with three Kirbemon in his possession," it stated.

"I have one too!" Tiff pulled out a MetaDex, which stated something similar to Tuff's.

"I see... Sorry about that!" The chief laughed. "You're free to go... Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go investigate this crime scene more."

"Wow, for a second there I thought we were gonna get arrested..." Tuff said with a sigh of relief. "Come on, let's go find Meta-Knight..."

"Poy poyoh!" Kirby tugged on Tuff's hand, and started pointing towards one of the alleys. He could feel a strange sort of energy nearby.

"Hm? What is it, Kirby?" Tuff looked at the alley Kirby was pointing to.

There was an explosion, and a loud crashing noise. Tiff and Tuff immediately ran to the alley to find out what happened.

Meta-Knight dusted his cape off, and muttered something about teleportation as he walked out of the alley.

"What was THAT all about?!" Tiff exclaimed, running up to the knight.

"Being a famous gymleader has it's ups and downs," Meta-Knight explained. "One of those downs being over popularity."

"What's that mean?" Tuff questioned.

"Those Cappies that were chasing me were fangirls..." He shivered at the thought. "I think I am going to leave this town for a while... Those girls might come back. Meet me at the town exit to the east once you get the next badge." With that, Meta-Knight walked away.

"I don't get it!" Tuff yelled, crumpling the map up in frustration. "Where's the stupid gym in this town!?"

"Maybe this town doesn't have a gym..." Tiff suggested.

"It has to!" he shouted, throwing the map on the ground.

"Poyoh!" Kirby smiled and ate the map.

"Hey, there it is!" Tiff said, pointing at a building a few blocks down with the word "GYM" on it.

"Finally!" Tuff grabbed Kirby's paw, and walked into the building. "WHAT THE!?"

The place was not a Kirbemon gym at all, but rather a workout gym.

"ARGH!" Tuff started to stomp out the door, but Tiff stopped him.

"Wait a second, Tuff. Maybe some of the people here know where the Kirbemon gym is!" Tiff explained. She looked around the gym. There were many people there, but one person stuck out among the crowd. "Hey, that person looks familiar..."

The young Ebrum walked up to a Cappy that was running on a treadmill. The Cappy had a long ponytail, and wore a yellow and blue baseball cap with a red sleeveless shirt.

(A picture of this Cappy is here (Without the spaces) - http:/ /www .iownjoo.com /freeimghost/ BabyCharmander/ Cappy .jpg )

"Excuse me..." Tiff started. She suddenly gasped when she saw the Cappy's face. "DERBY!?"

The Cappy smirked. "Well, well, well. If it isn't Tiffany Ebrum..."

"Who's that?" Tuff asked.

"Derby..." Tiff growled, narrowing her eyes. "She's been my rival ever since we met..."

"Yep!" Derby got off the treadmill. "I've always been ahead of her in everything. She moves up a grade, I move up two grades. She makes the soccer team, I become the soccer team captain..." She looked at Tiff, and grinned even wider. "She becomes a Kirbemon trainer..." She took out a PuffBall. "I become a better one."

"SHUT UP YOU!" Tiff yelled. "YOU CAN'T PROVE THAT YOU'RE A BETTER TRAINER THAN ME!"

"Wanna bet?"

"QUIET! We didn't come here so you could argue with someone!" Tuff said. "Derby, do you know where the Kirbemon gym is?"

"Yep. This is the Kirbemon gym."

"Then where's the gym leader?" Tiff asked, still looking quite angry.

"You're looking right at her." Derby grinned, and took out a box full of Feather Badges.

"But... but... but..." Tiff stuttered, staring at the box.

"Can't prove it, huh?"

"Alright then, Derby! I challenge you to a battle!" Tuff said, holding out a PuffBall.

"One problem," Derby said. "You see, I recently went on a losing streak, so my Kirbemon are training at the moment." She pointed to several Hennies, Bronto Burts, and Koozers, who were working out on the equipment. "Come back later."

"NO! I have to get the badge now! Please, let me battle you! PLEEEEASE!" Tuff begged.

"Hold on." Tiff said, stepping forward. "If you won't battle him, I will. The only Kirbemon I carry are Feather-type, as are yours."

"Hmm." Derby thought for a moment. "Alright. It will give you a chance to try and prove that you're better than me..."

"But... um..." Tuff looked around the room. "Where are we supposed to battle? This place is full of gym equipment!"

"Well... How about there?" She pointed to the pool, which had a few platforms floating around in it.

"Alright... Let's get this battle started!"

"Ready, Tuff?" Tiff asked, standing firmly on one of the platforms.

"As I'll ever be..." Tuff replied. His platform was a little less sturdy, and was floating from side to side. "Kirby, go!"

"Poyoh!" Kirby said, shaking his head. He didn't want to battle his friend!

"KIRBY!" Tuff yelled angrily. "Get out there! Come on!"

"Poyoh..." Kirby slinked behind Tuff.

"Fine... Bronto Burt, go!" Tuff tossed a PuffBall into the air, which opened to reveal the round, pink butterfly.

"Breh!" the butterfly said, stretching its wings.

"Alright then! Go, Lololo!" Tiff tossed a PuffBall into the air, revealing the little blue creampuff.

"Ready!" Lololo said, floating in front of Bronto Burt.

"Battle start!" Derby said, waving a flag.

"Bronto Burt! Use Head Hammer!" Tuff commanded.

"Reeeeeeeh!" the butterfly slammed into Lololo, quickly knocking him into the water.

"..." Tiff said nothing.

"Never taught him any attacks, did ya?" Derby asked, snickering.

"Lololo, return." Tiff returned the Kirbemon, and sent out Lalala.

"Ready!" Lalala also floated in front of Bronto Burt.

"Again, use Head Hammer!" Tuff called out to his Kirbemon.

"Dodge it, Lalala!" Tiff shouted.

Bronto Burt charged at Lalala, who floated out of the way just in time. Bronto Burt slammed his head onto the slide of the pool, and slowly sunk in.

"ARGH! Bronto Burt, return!" He returned his Kirbemon, then grabbed another PuffBall. "Next, I choose-"

Suddenly, something smashed though the wall.

"What's that?!" Tiff and Tuff shouted simultaneously.

"Whoever's driving that thing could use a workout..." Derby commented.

"Prepare for trouble!"

"Make it double!"

"To protect the world from devastation!"

"To unite all people within the nation!"

"To pronounce... prenounce... pronoun?"

"This isn't English class, Triple-D."

"It's them!" Tiff shouted. "Team NME!"

"You got that right, girleh!" Dedede said, grinning.

"Hey Tuff, that Kirby of yours isn't the only vacuum around..." Escargoon said, pushing a large button on the machine.

A giant hose came out of the machine, and started sucking up the water in the pool.

"Hey! What are you doing!? That's my pool!" Derby exclaimed.

"You want it back? Fine!" Dedede pushed another button, and the water sprayed right back out at the group.

"HEY!" Tuff shouted. He tried staying afloat by holding Kirby, who easily floated in the water.

"Awight, time to turn the suction back on!" Dedede pressed the other button again, and the hose started to suck up the water again. This time, Lalala was caught in the vacuum.

"HELP!" she shouted, trying to float away.

"LALALA!" Tiff yelled.

"Kirby, try and get Lalala back! Use Suck It Up!" Tuff commanded.

"Poyoh!" Kirby started inhaling against the giant vacuum. The two vacuum forces created a tornado.

"Uh oh... This doesn't look good!" Escargoon said, wide eyed. The tornado flew at the vacuum, and spun it around out of the gym.

"Thank you, Tuff!" Derby said, shaking Tuff's hand. "You saved my gym!"

"Kirby should be the one you should thank!" Tuff said, smiling at his friend.

"But still..." She held out a Feather Badge. "You deserve to have this!"

"A Feather Badge..." Tuff took the badge, grinning. "Thank you!"

"Come on, let's get out of here..." Tiff whispered as she started to walk away from the gym.

"Oh Tiiiiff..." Derby called out.

Tiff looked over her shoulder nervously. "Yes?"

"You sure showed me! You're the best trainer in the world!" the Cappy said sarcastically.

"She is so stupid..." the young Ebrum girl muttered.

"There you are!" Meta-Knight said, walking up to the two siblings. "What took you so long?"

"We had a little trouble with Team NME..." Tuff explained. "And they interrupted my battle with Tiff, just when I was about to win!"

"About to win? Yeah right!" Tiff shouted. "I would've beaten you if that vacuum didn't blast a hole in the wall!"

"No way! Bronto Burt BARELY missed that stupid Lalala! I would've won easily!"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah!"

"OH YEAH?"

"YEAH!"

"OH YEAH!?"

Tiff and Tuff stopped arguing when a large, yellow blade was held in front of them.

"Now that we have that settled..." Meta-Knight sheathed his sword. "I think we can move on."

"...Yeah."
