Pichu's all-star scavenger hunt adventure-part 3: The first item.found!







Pichu was taking a break at Ness's house. The first item he needed to find was at the psychic wonder's house (a.k.a. Ness). Pichu and Ness were playing Super Mario Bros. 3 on Ness's Super Nintendo. "Pichu?" Ness asked. "I was wondering.if you don't know who sent you that letter, how did he know your name?" "I'm not sure," Pichu answered. "Pikachu even let me go by myself, and usually he'd say no. That's strange. He wouldn't let me face Captain Falcon until I blackmailed him," Just then, Pichu's cell phone rang. "Hold on, someone's calling," Pichu said as took out his cell phone and pressed a button. "Hello. Pichu speaking," Pichu said. "Hi, Pichu. It's me, Pikachu. Where are you?" Pikachu asked. "I'm at Onett. The first item is at Ness's house. I'm taking a break for now. But I can't decipher this poem," Pichu said.



"Well the letter did said that each poem is perplexing. And don't forget that you can bring 2 companions with you," Pikachu said. Just then, Pichu heard a popping sound coming from his cell phone. "Did I just hear a balloon pop?" Pichu asked. "What balloon?" Pikachu said. "Never mind. Do you want to talk to Ness?" Pichu asked. "Ok," Pikachu said. "Ness. Pikachu wants to talk to you," Pichu said. Ness paused the game and then took the cell phone. "Hi, Pikachu. How are you doing?" Ness asked. "I'm fine Ness. Pichu told me that the first item is at your house. Did he find it yet?" Pikachu asked. "No. I'm sure he'll find it soon. But he told me it might be a flower. And I also don't remember any flowers here. Except that other flower with long pedals I found outside. I put the flower in a pot and placed it next to the bathroom door. It sort of looks like a fire flower. But only a bit taller. And when I waved it, it made a sound," Ness said. "Well just tell Pichu that he can't stay at your house for long. He has more items to find. As a matter of fact, why don't you go with him?" Pikachu asked. "Well I have to asked my mom first," Ness said. "Ok. Tell Pichu to be careful when searching for items. Bye," Pikachu said. He hung up the phone. Ness then turned off Pichu's cell phone and then put it back in Pichu's backpack. "I just put away your cell phone, Pichu," Ness said. "Thanks," Pichu said. Ness saw that Pichu was moving strangely while he was playing Ness's video game. "Are you feeling alright, Pichu? Ness asked. "I'm fine," Pichu said. "Only I need to use the bathroom!" Pichu said as he started to jump up and down. "I would've gone earlier, but I was so close to beating Bowser!"



"I told you not to drink 12 bottles of citrus punch," Ness said. "WHAT!? I thought I drank at least 6!" Where's the bathroom?" Pichu said. "Downstairs and to the right," Ness said. Pichu sprinted downstairs to the bathroom. When he got out of the bathroom, he noticed a flower in a pot right next to the bathroom door. Why does that flower look so familiar? Pichu thought. He picked up the flower. He waved it. The flower made a sound. "I found it!" Pichu whispered to himself. "But there's one way to find out," Pichu hit himself with the flower. A flower grew on his head. But then he felt the flower slightly sapping his energy.



"NESS! HELP ME!!!" Ness heard Pichu scream. Ness ran downstairs, only to find Pichu struggling to get the flower off his head. "Pichu! Use thunderbolt!" Ness shouted. Pichu stood still. Then a thunderbolt came crashing through the roof and on Pichu, disintegrating the flower, and slightly hurting Pichu. "I found the first item!" Pichu said. "This flower is actually a weapon called Lip's stick. I read about it in a book called All You Need To Know about SSB: M Items. That's where I found out about this item," "Then why did you hit yourself with it?" Ness asked. "I just want to make sure it was the item I'm looking for," Pichu answered. "I have to go now," "Wait. I want to come with you," Ness said. "Just give me time to ask my mom first,"



Ness went inside his mother's room. "Mom?" Ness asked. "What is it, Ness?" Ness's mother asked. "Can I go on a scavenger hunt with my friend Pichu?" Ness asked. "Yes. But on one condition. Only if you promise to do the dishes for a week," "Okay, mom. I'll just pack up. Bye," Ness said. "Bye, Ness," Ness's mom said. Ness went to his room and packed up just about everything he needed. Even Mr. Saturn! He then took Pichu's backpack and took it downstairs with him. "I'm ready," Ness said as he gave Pichu his backpack. Pichu then put the lip's stick in his backpack. "What time is it," Pichu asked Ness as they left the house and now heading out of Onett. Ness checked his watch. "It's 11:55. We should go to Fourside next. It's close to Onett," Ness said. "Okay. Look out, Fourside, here we come!" Pichu said. He really does like adventures. Ness thought. He really does.
