Chapter 22: Encounter With a Pokémon
(And
so Luigi, Waluigi, Purpley, Silverstone, Sushie, and Parakarry
started to hike down the mountain while Mario, Wario, and the
others...well...they're not important right now. While Parakarry was
flying, he also looked over the letter Birdo wrote to
Luigi.)
Parakarry: Luigi, according to Birdo's letter there is
supposed to be some kind of cat looking for you. Do you know anything
about this?
Luigi: No. I don't.
Silverstone: We need to get to
the beach quickly or we'll never see our friends again.
Waluigi: I
was never friends with any of those three.
Sushie: Waluigi, not
now.
Purpley: You're supposed to say mean stuff when the
zookeepers are around.
Waluigi: Hey Purpley. There's something
I've been wondering about. Why did you fall in love with Luigi in the
first place?
Purpley: Well...uh...
(Flashback to when Purpley
first met Luigi. He was hosting a herd meeting and he called on
her.)
Luigi: Hey adorable purple yoshi. What's your name? Don't
tell me it's Purpley.
Purpley: You're right. Will you come home
with me tonight? You're kind of cute.
(Luigi blushes.)
Luigi: I
am? Uh...thanks.
(Back to reality.)
Purpley: I can't
remember.
Waluigi: Oh well. I guess it's one of those 'love at
first sight' things, huh?
Luigi: I think that's what
happened.
Sushie: Hey guys. Check dis out.
(The gang have
reached a small lake.)
Sushie: Dis is where I joined da party. We
sure got back here pretty fast.
Silverstone: I'm thirsty.
Luigi:
Yeah. All this walking made me thirsty too. I suppose a quick drink
wouldn't hurt.
Silverstone: Sweet!
(Silverstone bent down to
drink from the lake, but suddenly a cat that was about one foot four
jumped in front of Silverstone and kicked him in the nose. Then the
cat stares at everyone. It seems to have a strange charm on it's
forehead.)
Silverstone: Ow! That hurt! What hit me?!
Waluigi:
You know. That looks an awful lot like...
Luigi: Meowth?!
Meowth:
That's right! Now which one of you bozos is Luigi?
Parakarry: Uh
oh. That must be that cat Birdo was referring to.
Purpley: You
stay away from him!
(Smack! Purpley slapped Meowth in the
face.)
Sushie: Whoa! That was cool!
Silverstone: Purpley
smacked Meowth! Whoever he is...
Luigi: Hit him again,
Purpley!
(Purpley slapped Meowth again, then she used her tail and
bashed him over the head and stunned him momentarily.)
Purpley: I
think I know why Browny like tilting island fights now.
Waluigi:
Now lemme try Dark Stare again.
Meowth: Huh? What?
(Waluigi
began to do his ugly stare again. This time his eyes glowed with an
eerie purple aura. After a few seconds, it stops.)
Waluigi: Hey
Meowth. Do you know if there's a computer on the zookeepers'
ship?
Meowth: Yeah. Why?
Waluigi: Cause...I think it has a
virus. You better go check.
Meowth: Okay. I'll go back to th- Wait
a minute! You think I'm dumb enough to fall for
that?
(Slash!)
Waluigi AAAHHH!!! My face!
Luigi: Ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha- Huh? In heaven's
name, what am I doing? Let's get rid of this guy!
Sushie: Are ya
gonna cook him?
Luigi: I would, but I want to save my strength for
the big challenge coming up so I'll just headbutt this small
fry.
Sushie: Fair enough...
(Luigi ran right up to Meowth and
headbutt him, sending him way up into the sky!)
Meowth: Looks like
Meowth's blasting off again!
(Meowth turns into a
star.)
Silverstone: Ooo...look at the pretty star.
(Purpley
earned 50 experience points! Waluigi earned 50 experience points!
Luigi earned 50 experience points! Luigi levels up! Luigi learned
Pyro Kick!)
Waluigi: Huh? Since when was this an RPG?
Purpley:
What are experience points?
Luigi: Cool! I got a new
attack!
Parakarry: Well, so much for the cat-like creature that
was supposed to stop you, Luigi.
Sushie: Heh. Yeah.
Silverstone:
I wonder where Meowth went?
(Let's see what the zookeepers are up
to. On the ship, in the cabin, Vicky and Nicky were playing around
with Vicky's laptop computer.)
Vicky: What's wrong with this
thing?!
Nicky: Is there a problem, Vicky?
Vicky: This thing
won't boot up.
Meowth: AAAHHH!!!
Nicky: What was that?
(Crash!
Meowth fell through the ceiling and landed on Vicky.)
Vicky: Get
off me, Meowth!
Nicky: Meowth, what was that about?
Meowth:
Vicky! Nicky! We've got trouble! Luigi's on his way here and he's
STRONG!
Nicky: Are you sure about that?
Vicky: Maybe you're
just plain weak!
(Scratch! Slash! Slice! Claw!)
Vicky: My
beautiful face!
Nicky: Mine looks like a checkerboard!
Meowth:
As I was saying...if you want to keep the yoshis, WE HAVE TO LEAVE
NOW!
(Out on the deck, Birdo, Redy, and Whitey heard all the
ruckus.)
Whitey: Yoshi yo[What the?
Redy: Sounds like Luigi
IS coming to save us after all!
Whitey: Shi[Yay!
Birdo:
Don't party just yet, guys. He still might not make get here in time.
Then again...he can move pretty fast when he wants to. Why, I
remember the last time we played tennis together-
(Nicky quickly
ran by.)
Nicky: That's it! We're leaving this scary place!
Now!
(Back with Luigi, he and his friends just got to Blacky's
cave. Dang! How'd he get here so quick?! Maybe Birdo was right when
she said he can move fast when he wants to.)
Luigi: Yeah. Never
get in a determined man's way!
(Uh...thanks. I'll try to remember
that.)
Silverstone: Luigi, you look a little tired. Maybe you
should take a breather.
Luigi: No!
Silverstone: Sorry.
Waluigi:
What's up with you, dude?
Luigi: Listen, the less time we spend
here, the more time we have to save the others.
Sushie: That's a
different way to look at it.
Parakarry: We should hurry
then.
(Perhaps they don't need to be in a hurry because on the
ship, Nicky was trying to start the motor but to no prevail.)
Nicky:
Vicky! I think we're out of gas! Dang it! I hate this thing!
(Nicky
kicks the steering wheel, but he somehow manages to get his leg stuck
in it instead.)
Nicky: Augh!
(As Nicky struggles to get his leg
unstuck, Birdo and the yoshis watch and laugh. This was the funniest
thing they've seen in days, except the time they were fed bananas.
Birdo chucked all her peels outside the cage and Vicky slipped on
half of them.)
Birdo: What a retard!
Whitey: Yo shi yooooshi[He looks funny!
Redy: If Nicky can't get his leg out of there,
Luigi will have more time to save us.
Birdo: You've got a point
there, Redy. Sweet!
(Luigi and friends reached the beach.)
Luigi:
Yes! They're still here!
Silverstone: Luigi! Hop on me!
Luigi:
Huh? You want me to mount you?
Silverstone: Yes Luigi. Do
it!
Luigi: Well...all right then.
(Luigi got on Silverstone's
back.)
Luigi: The rest of you stay one the beach. Make sure the
zookeepers don't make a break for it.
Parakarry: I'll do
it!
Waluigi: Okay, Superstar.
Purpley: Uh...I'll try.
Sushie:
Stick with me, Purpley, and you'll be fine.
Luigi: So
then...
Luigi & Silverstone: Let's go!
(Silverstone runs
toward the ship. He and Luigi were diving head-first into the final
battle...)
