A/N: Mr. Showtime, I thank you for your kind reviews, and for putting my story on you favorites list. And I see very well how you think Samus should have won. And I'll tell you; I almost did make her win. I heavily debated over who should win for a few hours, weighing out the pros and cons many times. While Samus my be a bit of a better fighter in the Metroid games than Link is, although Link is a great fighter in his game too, I figured I should stick to how they performed in SSBM, rather than their performance in their respective games, because it would be too hard to decide otherwise. I also saw that some of my reviewers wanted Link to win, even though that had little impact on my decision, but it was probably a deciding factor in the end. So in the end, I had to choose Link to win, simply because I believe he is better in the SSB games, and if I were to judge them by their abilities in their games, Samus may have won the match. And if I were to put it on a percentage scale of votes in my head, it would end up as following.
Link: 50.5
Samus: 49.5
And in this battle, I will have to base Crono's abilities on his own game, for he is not in SSBM, but I will use Yoshi's SSBM stats, for I feel they are better than his actual game stats.
So I hope the last battle was not a disappointment, and I hope you continue to read and enjoy my story, and that goes to all of my other reviewers as well.
Now for the chapter:
"Will Crono and Yoshi please report to the telepads for the next battle, which will take place at the Pokemon Stadium. Please do not waste any time, we are far behind schedule." The Polygon creature walked over to the control panel, to prepare the teleportation.
Luigi scratched Yoshi on top of the head before the dinosaur walked up to the podium. He looked around fascinated, like a child in a beautiful and new place, making a rather annoying and high pitched *bum* noise every step. But it was serious about the fight surprisingly, even though it couldn't talk or express his feelings well, Yoshi wanted to avenge the deaths of Mario and Peach.
Crono quickly walked up to podium, and looked over at Yoshi. He was not the least bit worried, for he had battled, and defeated much larger dinosaurs in his lifetime, not to mention the very large and powerful Lavos, although he had help in that battle. But even though, he was very confident.
Once the two were on their respective telepads, they were teleported to the Pokemon Stadium. They appeared, and immediately noticed the large screen in the background, showing the entire stadium. Both Crono and Yoshi knew that by looking over at the screen, they would know where the other was, which would prevent any sneak or back attacks. Crono's red and spiky hair was already dripping with sweat. Although he was very confident, he knew that he would still have to perform well, no matter how easy his opponent was. The countdown finished, and the battle began.
Crono quickly jumped up to the platform above him as his first move, and Yoshi did the same, except to a platform to the opposite of Crono. Yoshi then used his tongue to pick up a half-red and half-white ball, a pokeball. He withdrew it into his mouth, and then launched it over to Crono. And if not for being quick on his feet, Crono would have been hit hard in the head with the ball.
So instead of hitting him, the ball landed right behind him, and opened with a flash. There appeared a large blue turtle, with hydro cannons sticking out of its shell. It looked at Crono with its bloodthirsty eyes, and lowered its cannons, so they were pointed directly at him. Assuming he knew what was going to happen, Crono dove off of the platform he was standing on immediately, and landed very hard on the marble ground. The turtle creature then launched two large hydro beams forward. And since Crono was not standing there any longer, the hydro blasts went past the first platform, onto Yoshi's platform, and hit him hard, sending him flying off of the battlegrounds.
Crono slowly stood up, but soon enough to see Yoshi get launched far off of the marble platform. He was very excited, for it looked as though he had an easy victory, one without even lying a hand on his opponent. But unfortunately, he was not so lucky.
Yoshi started to move his feet as he fell, as though he was running in mid-air. But instead of him just pathetically falling, Yoshi started to move up through the air quickly, and he soon landed on the platform. Crono was absolutely shocked at this, for he was sure he had won. But he did not question the matter any longer, he had no time to be shocked, he had to battle. He drew his katana, and began dashing quickly towards Yoshi with it in front of him. When he was within about six feet of Yoshi, he prepared for a slash attack, but did not have enough time.
Yoshi stuck out his tongue and wrapped it around Crono's middle torso. Looking at the slimy tongue wrapped around him, Crono not only started to worry, but realized the tongue slime was even more disgusting than chugging five consecutive bowls of puke-tasting poi. The tongue's grip grew tighter, and Yoshi finally withdrew it into his mouth, along with Crono, who was without the katana of his that had been dropped during the withdrawal of the tongue.
The inside of Yoshi's now very expanded body was surprisingly dry, especially since the tongue was very slimy. So he could slice Yoshi's belly open, Crono tried to draw his sword, but could not find it. He felt around his body and the belly, but finally realized he had dropped it. And then, an acid started to ooze out of the belly's pores, and began to form a shell like material along the inner coating of the stomach, and soon it was surrounding Crono. After the shell-like object was done forming, he could tell that he and the shell, or egg, was sliding out of the belly.
The egg hit the ground hard, and caused a very loud echo inside which greatly hurt Crono's ears. The now thin Yoshi jumped up to the platform to the left and above of the egg. He then tensed his muscles and jumped up above the egg. He used his special technique to "walk" up mid-air, to get as high above the egg as he possibly could. Crono was still struggling to get out of the egg, but no avail.
Yoshi then used his unique abilities to come flying down with much force, straight at the egg. Meanwhile, Crono had no idea what was going on outside of the egg, but had the feeling Yoshi was up to something. So Yoshi continued to plunge, and landed on the egg, shattering it, causing pieces to fly in all directions. And not even a split second later, Yoshi finished his plunge, landing on Crono's stomach, very hard. The landing caused Crono's head to fly forward fast, also making him cough up a mouthful of blood, which flew up onto Yoshi's body and head. The pound also caused a large and sharp chunk of the egg to stab all of the way through Crono's leg, which caused blood to start oozing from the sides of the wound.
Yoshi got off of Crono and looked at him. The dinosaur started doing a little dance of joy, for he thought that Crono was unconscious, and he had won. But he was wrong.
Crono looked down at his bloody leg, and some blood trickled down his chin. He was in very intense pain, and could barely move. He glanced over at Yoshi, who was still dancing around. The dinosaur thought he had won, and it offended Crono that the dinosaur thought he could be defeated so easily. Crono knew he had only one hope left. He slowly raised his arms into the air, feeling pain every second of the movement. Careful so that Yoshi would not hear him, he began to whisper an incantation, and moved his fingers around a little. The sky then began to grow dark, at least darker than it was already.
Yoshi noticed the sudden change and looked down at Crono, and all of the blood left his face. There lie an awake Crono, waving his arms around. Panicking, Yoshi picked up the umbrella that had just appeared next to him with his mouth, and prepared to stab Crono with it. But it was too late. A large lightning bolt came down from the sky, very quickly, and right at Crono. But at the very last second, the bolt made a quick direction change, and hit Yoshi, and sent him flying about twelve feet.
For a few moments, neither of them moved, they just lied there, motionless. Finally, Crono started to stand up, a very painful process for him. Yoshi started to too, but whenever he tried, he felt a sudden and intense shock course throughout his body, and he fell back down. Finally, Crono stood all of the way up, and he began to limp slowly over to Yoshi. Somewhere along the way, he picked up his katana, dripping blood on it as he bent down. He then continued to walk over to Yoshi, who was still trying vigorously to stand up.
He finally reached the dino, and knew there was only one thing to do, he had to put the dino out of its misery. He slowly raised his blade above his head, and then thrust it downwards, right through Yoshi's neck. He finally withdrew the blade after a few more moments, allowing the lifeless body of Yoshi to fall to the ground. And all of a sudden, Crono dropped his blade, and fell down to the ground.
He was quickly teleported to back to the stadium, and was immediately placed on a stretcher and brought to the medical emergency room by a couple of oversized polygon creatures. The polygon creature walked up to platform to announce the next battle, and found out the microphone had been turned off, so it walked over to the control panel to turn it back on.
And in the shadow of the rest of the crowd, Luigi sat with his face buried in his fists. His only and best three friends in the world had died, and he was all alone in the world.
