I'll remind you all again: I changed the team setup in Chapter 4. I made several team member mistakes in Chapter 5-7, and it was too late to correct the mistake, so I have no choice but to rearrange the team in Chapter 4 to match the chapters after it.
WORLD NAME:
POKEMON COLISEUM
Chapter 8: The All-Star Hoenn Championship
Two Pokemon trainers are walking together towards a large stadium in front of them. They are discussing about a tournament when a star is seen flying towards the ground. "What's that?" asks on of the trainers. "A shooting star!" replies his friend. "Quick! Make a wish!"
"All right! I wish I can win this contest!" says the first trainer excitedly. "Wait a minute…" thought the second trainer. "A shooting star in the morning…?"
The star crashes a few yards away from them. "Wow! It crashed!" exclaims the first trainer.
"Now that's the wildest ride since that race in Mute City!" says Captain Falcon, climbing up from the ground.
"They should put steering wheels on these warp stars!" says Ganondorf. "I can't imagine the number of accidents that will happen if the traffics are to use these as transportation!"
"So I said to let me drive it!" says Kirby. "It's all because of Captain Falcon, wanting to drive it! I have more experience on warp stars than that helmet head!"
"Who are you calling helmet head! You food maniac!" CF shouts out at Kirby angrily. "I love that name!" says Kirby happily.
"Fine! Then pink piece of crap!"
Kirby gets mad upon hearing that, so he inhales CF, copies his ability, spits him out, and Falcon Punches him into the nearest tree. "That should teach you!"
"Can they be aliens from outer space?" asks the trainer who tried to make a wish. "They don't look like aliens to me…" his friend tells him.
Zelda looks around and sees a large stadium in front of them. "Look at that stadium! Read the sign!"
The sign reads: Hoenn All-Star Coliseum Championship. Anyone is a fighter!
"A fighting contest?" asks Luigi. "I think it's a Pokemon battle contest," says Pikachu. "After all, this is Hoenn. Pokemon battles are common stuffs."
"Wow! A talking pikachu!" exclaims one of the trainers. "Is this pikachu yours?"
"Well…" says Ness. "He's our… battle partner. If you wanna catch him, then you have to get through me first!" Bowser walks up next to Ness. "He's right. You'll have to get through us if you want to catch'em all!"
"Just asking," says the trainer. "I won't catch a Pokemon that already has a master."
"Say, what's that contest over there?" Link asks the trainer.
"It's a fighting contest! It's really unique because it doesn't only have to be Pokemon trainers! They say you can also fight with your own strength!"
"Impossible!" exclaims Pikachu. "A Pokemon country would never hold such contest!"
"Why don't we just go inside and take a look?" suggests CF. "Good idea!" agrees the others, except for Zelda, who protests. "But we have to find the dark reactor! It's no time for contests!"
"Perhaps someone in there will know about the dark reactor," says Link. "Let's just go in and see. It won't take long, will it?" The Smashers went into the stadium.
Inside the stadium, they see various Pokemon trainers and fighters. Link walks up to the registration desk and asks the lady there, "Is it true that anyone can enter this contest?"
"Of course it's true!" the registration lady assures him. "Didn't you read the banner outside?"
"Even if you don't have Pokemon, you can enter?"
"Yeah! It's the first time we're doing something like this! Even a lone human will be fighting a Pokemon!"
Link goes back to tell his fellow Smashers about it. "Sounds interesting!" says Bowser, rubbing his chin. "It wouldn't hurt if I take part in it!"
"I feel like delivering some beatings," says Link. "I wouldn't back off on a fight," says Ganondorf. "I'll show them my moves!" shouts CF proudly.
"Are you guys sure you want to fight?" asks Zelda. "What about the dark reactor?"
The men didn't listen to Zelda, and they went ahead to signup for a battle. "These men…" says Zelda with a sigh.
Link, Bowser, Ganondorf, Captain Falcon, and Pikachu signed up to enter the contest. "By the way," Bowser asks the registration lady. "Have you heard of a dark reactor?"
"No," replies the lady.
"Oh… Never mind…"
"Will the signed up fighters please come this way?" a guide calls out. All the fighters follow him into a room. "Let's buy a ticket and see the contest!" says Ness. "If you insist…" says Zelda. So the remaining 4 Smashers went to buy tickets.
As the four are looking for seats, Zelda is still thinking about the dark reactor. "I wonder where the dark reactor is?" Soon, they found 4 empty seats and sat down on it, that's when Crazy Hand shows up all of a sudden in front of them. "BOOOOO!" he screams out.
"Don't frighten us like that!" Luigi scolds CH. "I'm shocked half dead!"
"Sorry…" apologizes the hand. "It appears that 5 of you have participated the contest."
"I told them we need to look for the dark reactor!" explains Zelda. "They won't listen to me!"
"It's a good thing they didn't listen to you."
"What?"
"Actually, I sensed a dark reactor somewhere in this coliseum…"
"The dark reactor is here?"
"I think so. I cannot be sure. Oh well, gotta go!" CH then shoots off into the sky.
"Wait!" Kirby calls out to him. "You didn't explain clearly to us!" But the hand has already disappeared.
"So a dark reactor is hidden here…" says Zelda. "He said he isn't sure," Luigi tells her. "If we just go wandering around, searching for the reactor, then people will put their eyes on us."
In the fighters' room, all the participating fighters are gathered there, listening to a coach lecturing. "There sure is lots of participants," Ganondorf whispers to Bowser. "I think most of them aren't really good at fighting. They're just here to be known by many other people," Bowser tells him.
All the other fighters stare at Bowser. Bowser gulps in fear, and then shouts back bravely, "Watcha looking at! I am the strongest around here! Just you see!"
"You do not have the right to say that," says a certain person. Bowser stares angrily at that person, who is wearing white and gray clothes and has spiky blond hair. "What did you say! Why you little!" Bowser raise his claws to attack him, but the coach dashes in front of Bowser and restrains him by grabbing his hand. "Don't fight until you're at the arena."
Bowser growls and puts his claws back down. "That coach sure has strength and speed!" thought Bowser. "He appeared in front of me all of a sudden and was able to get hold of my claws!" Bowser then turns to the blond guy and asks him, "You! What's your name?"
The young man pushes his hair back and replies, "Cloud."
"Cloud… That's a strange name… My name is Bowser! I hope to battle you in the contest and prove to you that I'm strong!"
"I'll wait until then."
CF walks up to Bowser and calms him down. "Don't get mad, Bowser. He's quite right that you're not so strong. I mean… even Mario was able to beat you!" Bowser breathes fire in CF's face upon hearing that.
The other 4 Smashers are sitting among the audiences, waiting for the contest to begin. "I'm growing impatient!" says Ness. "I can't wait for the fight!"
"Hello!" says a jolly voice from behind Ness. Ness turns around and sees a fat guy in white lab suit. "Hey! Aren't you Professor Bitch?"
"It's Birch!" the professor corrects him. "Why! It's Sapphire's father!" says Zelda happily. "It's been a really long time!"
"It is! I'm really surprised to see you here!"
"How's your bratty daughter?" Luigi asks him. "Don't say that! She's a good girl!" Birch tells him. "Anyway, she's also participating the battle."
"She is!" exclaims Kirby.
"YOU!" screams Ganondorf.
"YOU!" screams a girl in red clothing.
"It's Sapphire!" exclaims Pikachu. "Am I surprised to see you!"
"Well, I'm surprised to see you too! I didn't expect you Smashers would be participating in this fight!"
"Would you guys be quiet!" the coach shouts at them. "I'm a gal!" Sapphire shouts back.
"Now would all the Pokemon users move to the right side of the room and non-Pokemon users move to the left?" the coach commands. The 5 Smashers move to the left side of the room, along with Cloud. Sapphire and some other Pokemon trainers move to the right. The coach stares at Pikachu and asks, "Whose Pikachu is this?"
"I'm a stand alone!" Pikachu tells him. "We rarely see a talking Pokemon around here!" says the coach. "If you don't have a trainer, then fine. You can stay there."
The audiences are chatting to each other, waiting for the contest to begin. Eventually, the coach from earlier steps into the middle of the arena and announces, "Ladies and gentlemen! The long waited championship battle is about to begin!" The audiences cheer and clap their hands. "May we introduce the judge of this contest, the president of the Pokemon Association!" continues the coach.
The president, who is a short Afro, stood up and waves his hand. Again, everyone cheers. "That's a weird president over there…" thought Luigi.
"The rules for this battle is simple," explains the coach. "Each fighter will be battling each other. The battle ends if the opponent surrenders or dies. Since we don't want any dead bodies lying around, I will jump in to interrupt the battle if one side is heavily injured."
"Looks like a battle between life and death…" Ness whispers to Kirby, who is busy munching popcorn.
"Unfortunately, we have too many contestants, so we have to reduce it," says the coach, and then he points to a large screen on the stadium wall. "The screen will randomly choose two contestants to battle each other. We will keep reducing the fighters until there are ten contestants left. May we now introduce all the contestants?"
All the contestants come out into the arena and the coach introduces each of them to the audiences.
"Here we have the almighty F-Zero racer, Captain Falcon—the man of speed!" says the coach, pointing to CF.
"SHOW ME YOUR MOVES!" yells CF for no particular reason.
"Can you not yell that loud?" the coach tells him. "Next, we have the turtle king, Bowser!" Bowser roars happily and breathes fire into the air.
"Next, we have the Gerudo king, Ganondorf!" Ganondorf holds up his arm and charges a ball of purple energy, creating a small firework display.
"We have the Hero of Time, Link!" Link swings his sword around in a fancy way and makes a cool pose.
"What's this? A little pikachu with no trainer? He is none other than the amazing talking Pikachu!"
"Nice to meet you all!" says Pikachu happily, standing on the tip of his toe and waving his hands.
"Now we have a Pokemon trainer! She may look cute and innocent, but she's actually the daughter of the famed Pokemon expert Birch! She is Sapphire the Wild Child!"
Prof. Birch stands up on his seat and shouts out, "My sweet daughter! Do your best!"
"Calm down, dad!" Sapphire yells back. "Don't act crazy, would ya!"
The coach walks up to Cloud and says, "Who is he? He's a very mysterious traveler from a faraway land. All we know is his name is Cloud!"
After introducing all the contestants, the coach sends them back to the waiting room. "Now, the battle is about to begin!" announces the coach. "One last thing to explain: All Pokemon trainers are to use one Pokemon for each battle. If your Pokemon faints, then you lose the fight."
Everyone stares at the giant screen, waiting for names to appear on it. There is a moment of silence in the air as everyone stares at the screen. Finally, it appears…
CAPTAIN FALCON vs. BOB
"Ha! What do you know? I'm first!" says CF. He walks into the arena to face his opponent.
"You are unlucky to battle me," says Bob the Pokemon trainer. "You're fighting without a Pokemon, so you're in for a great disadvantage!"
"But I can beat up your Pokemon with my bare hands!" says CF.
"I will disprove you!" replies the trainer.
"Okay, may we start the battle now?" says the coach. Both the opponents stare at each other for a few seconds. The coach looks at the president and awaits his command. The president nods his head, so the coach yells, "FIGHT!"
Bob throws out his Pokeball and a Hitmonchan appears from it. "Hitmonchan, your opponent is a measly human, so you should have no problem with him! Use Mach Punch!"
The Hitmonchan obeys his trainer and dashes at CF at high speed. CF just smirks and simply dodges aside the punch easily. "What!" exclaims Bob. "How did you avoid such high speed attack! Hitmonchan, punch him down!"
The Hitmonchan swings his fist several times at CF, but the F-Zero racer swiftly avoids his punches.
"Are you fighting or not!" Bob yells at CF. "Aren't you doing anything!"
"If you insist…" says CF. He kicks the Hitmonchan hard in the face, and then uses Falcon Punch to sent the fighting Pokemon flying backwards, straight into Bob. Both the Hitmonchan and Bob fly backwards and crash into a wall. The coach goes to check the Hitmonchan, and then raises his hand. "This Hitmonchan is down! Captain Falcon wins!"
Zelda, Luigi, Ness, and Kirby clap and cheer happily at CF. "You're the man, Falcon!" Kirby calls out. CF stands in the middle of the arena, shouting out over and over that he is the best.
The rest of the battles went smoothly for the Smashers. Bowser fights a man in medieval armor. Bowser breathes fire at the armor to make it hot, and then beats him up while the man is in burning pain.
Pikachu fights a trainer who uses a Venusaur. The Venusaur wraps Pikachu in vines, but the electric mouse sends the electric along the vine and into Venusaur's body, shocking him. Pikachu then finishes him off with a powerful Skull Bash.
Ganondorf battles a psychic trainer who uses an Alakazam. Ganondorf charges up a ball of energy and fires it at the Alakazam, stunning the Pokemon. Ganondorf then finishes him off with Warlock Punch.
Link battles a karate dude. The dude performs lots of karate chops and kicks at Link, but he can't break through Link's shield. Link then slashes him across the waist and kicks him in the face, knocking him out.
"They sure are really strong," says Ness. He stretches his hand into the popcorn box to get some, but notices that it's empty. "Kirby! You ate them all!"
"Yeah?" says Kirby with a burp.
Cloud is facing against a guy who dresses like a war commando. "Now let the battle begin!" announces the coach.
Bowser watches from the waiting room. "I wonder what that Cloud guy can do?"
"You have a sword, but I have a gun!" says the commando. "You'll never defeat someone like me!" He pulls out a machine gun and fires it at Cloud. Cloud simply lifts up his massive sword in front of him and block all the bullets.
The commando switches to a rocket launcher and fires it at Cloud. When the rocket approaches, Cloud uses his sword to bat the rocket into the sky. "Watch out with that. You could hurt the audience with that."
"What!" gasps the commando. "He knocked away a rocket with a sword! Impossible!" The commando pulls out two machine guns and begins firing rapidly at Cloud. Cloud jumps up high into the air to avoid the bullets. He drops down towards the commando and slashes him across the chest. The commando cries in pain and drops onto the ground. The coach checks him to see his status. "He lost quite an amount of blood from the slash. Well, he can't fight anymore." The coach raises his hand and says, "Cloud wins this battle!"
"Amazing!" exclaims Link. "Did you see that? The Cloud guy was really good with the sword!"
"He sure is strong!" says Bowser. "But let's see if he can beat me."
Soon, the preliminary battles are finally over. Only ten contestants are left.
"We are now reaching the last part of the contest!" announces the same coach. "Now please take a look at the TV screen. It will tell you the battle line-ups."
Everyone looks at the giant screen to know who is battling whom.
Cloud is in the waiting room, and then someone approaches him. "You see them?" the person asks him while pointing to the 5 Smashers. "Those 5 are the ones you have to eliminate."
"Do I have to do it during battle?" Cloud asks him.
"Considering the coach is trying to keep people from killing each other… I may have a plan…"
The man reveals himself to be none other than the leader of Team Aqua, Archie…
