The thoughts continued to replay in his mind. The thoughts of how Pikachu overcame the might of Mewtwo. Even though he had contributed to the defeat of Mewtwo, Link's power was completely overshadowed by Pikachu. These images would change his very aspects of life, and not much could be done about it.
???: FALCON PUNCH!
The Falcon Punch connected with a distracted Link. The attack had launched Link quite a distance, but not far enough to keep him off Hyrule Temple.
Captain Falcon: Dammit, Link. The purpose of a battle is to have both people fight each other!
Link: Sorry, my mind's in other places.
Falcon: Well, be so kind to put your mind in this particular place. How do you expect to defeat Pikachu if you're not even focused to increase your skills?
Link: I suppose you're right...
Falcon: Good, now lets make every second count. We have to get out of here by 1:00 so the people at "The Arena" can have their fight.
Link: Alright, then... hey what's "The Arena"?
Falcon: They say it's a gathering for the strongest fighters in the universe. They flock to major planets, such as Earth, to fight. They will fight until a "King of Fighters" is determined. But hell, I've heard they got badass fighting talent. No one at Super Smash Bros could measure up to their power, except possibly for Pikachu and Mewtwo.
Link: ... That was what Pikachu told me. It's settled. Time to train until I lose my breath.
Falcon: Just don't lose your balls.
Link: SHUT UP!
They did just that. They trained, and they trained hard. At 1:00, both Link and Captain Falcon left Hyrule Temple, and two other warriors occupied it. However, they flew so fast, neither Link nor Captain Falcon got a good look at them.
Link: Whoa, that was fast! Pikachu wasn't kidding when he said some of the warriors make him look weak.
Falcon: If people at The Arena are that strong, I don't need to be flattened in two seconds. You have made more progress than me, Link. I'll join up with you when I'm ready.
Link: Fine, I'll see you when you decide to join up with me. Uh... how am I gonna find Pikachu?
Falcon: I was wondering when you would bring that up. I'll give you a ride, but I may have to charge you a fee.
Link: Heh. Lets go, then.
Both Link and Captain Falcon hop into the Blue Falcon. At nearly the speed of light, they ride to the Kanto Pokémon Stadium. There, they manage to find Pikachu meditating. Captain Falcon waits in his super car as Link approaches Pikachu.
Link: Yo, wake up, bitch!
Link slaps Pikachu in the back of his head. Pikachu comes out of his trance.
Pikachu: Yo, what the fuck is your problem, dude!
Link: I came for some information. I need to find out where I can register for "The Arena".
Pikachu: I'm surprised you think you're ready for "The Arena". Link, The Arena is not a place for second-rate warriors. If an "all-talk fighter" fights there, they don't come back. If you really wish to become part of the ultimate test, then land a punch in my fist!
Link: Fine!
Link dashes towards Pikachu and goes for a punch, but Pikachu side-steps out of the way. Predicting this, Link quickly knees Pikachu in the stomach, turns him around, and nails Pikachu in the face with his fist. Pikachu quickly regains his composure.
Pikachu: Interesting... not many warriors would've gone for a different attack. I was expecting you to use only punches. You thought outside the box, well done! The warriors at The Arena are skillful. They also use their minds in their fights. They would've done the same thing, if they were lower-tier fighters. High level warriors would just need one quick punch to pass my challenge.
Link: You still think I'm low class?
Pikachu: Until you've made your mark in The Arena, that's all you are to me. With that being said, follow me.
Link hopped into the Blue Falcon and they followed Pikachu to The Arena HQ. The three smashers went to the receptionist.
Receptionist: Welcome to The Arena. Ah, Pikachu. It's good to see you again. How may I help you?
Pikachu: Yeah, I need to fill out an application for my colleague.
Link: I don't know why you all of a sudden think we're friends, but cut that shit out, K?
Pikachu: For now, you need a guide, and since I know what I'm doing, just listen to me!
???: You heard the guy, just leave him alone.
Pikachu: Zero, this is none of your business!
Captain Falcon: Zero from Megaman X fights here?
The receptionist hands Link a form. Link proceeds to fill it out.
Pikachu: You'd be surprised by the number of people who fight here. People from video games, TV shows, and various other people gather here.
Zero: I'd say that guy has some sort of problem with you. I'll be his guide.
Pikachu: Fine. He's under your watchful eye, now. He's quite a case, so be wary.
Link: You know, just because I'm filling out this registration paper doesn't mean I still can't hear you. I can't wait 'til I get the chance to wreck you on universal TV.
Zero: I see what you mean. If he gets too mouthy, I can fuck him up quickly.
Link: Alright, I'm finished. Now what?
Well, what now? Check out next chapter to find out.
