Rocky: Ramming is fun!

Luigi- Rank 12 Battle

Rock Pounder is just like the soon-to-be Rank 10 battle kind of: High defense, high attack, NO speed, low magic, average health. Luigi used magic to deal a lot of damage here, which was smart. He still lost 2 HP though.

END ROUND

Luigi: Wow, that battle was quite hard!

Bloat: 10:06 AM. Mario and Luigi, 2 people are looking for you!

Bloat: People: Bow and Luigi Junior. Location: Smoothie Shop. Time: 10:15 AM.

The video then shuts off.

Luigi: Mario, we need to get to the smoothie shop in 9 minutes.

Mario: I got it!

The two people lounged around until 10:12, then they walked to the smoothie shop and waited 30 seconds, then the two partners came in.

Bow: Mario, is your head feeling better?

Mario: Okey-dokey!

Luigi: He keeps doing it, trust me.

Luigi Junior: So…er… dad, how are you guys doing at the Wars?

Luigi: Me and Mario are both at Rank 11.

Bow: Wow, you guys are pretty good!

Luigi: Yep, and if we win the next match, we go to the Major League!

Bow: How's the minor league room?

Luigi: Pretty cool, actually.

Luigi Junior: So, should we enter?

Luigi: Honestly, no. We are almost finished already, so no need!

Luigi Junior: I know what you mean now.

Bow: Well, we know now where you are, so we will head to the arena to watch!

Luigi: Sure.

Mario: Okey-dokey!

Luigi: STOP SAYING THAT, MARIO!
Mario: Yeah!

Luigi: Good. Now, see you a bit, you two!

Luigi Junior and Bow: Sure!

The four then get up, exit through the door, and in the hallway, Bow and Luigi Junior go right while the two plumbers head south back to their room. Luigi then signs up for the Match Number 10. Luigi then enters the arena.

Bloat: Presenting the match between a Minor Leaguer and a Major Leaguer.

Bloat: To the left is Green Ember!

Crowd: YYYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHHH!

Bloat: And to the right is Crystal Shell!

Crowd: YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

Luigi: HEY, ROOT FOR ME MORE!

Crowd: SSOORRRRYY!

Bloat: Begin!

Luigi- Rank 10 Battle

Crystal Shell has high attack, no speed, no magic, average HP, and…….. infinite Defense! Because of this, Luigi obviously can't hurt it and Luigi loses!

END ROUND

Bloat: And Luigi loses!

Crowd: some happy cries and some "boo"s are heard

At the minor league room…

Koolba: Wow, you actually lost!

Luigi: Don't rub it in.

Koolba: Why did you lose!
Luigi: I couldn't hurt it!

Koolba: Wait! I just thought of something!

Luigi: Yeah?

Koolba: Look behind the Healing Chamber. You will find something valuable!

Luigi: Sure!

Luigi first heals his robot, then looks behind it to find… a Piercing Bomb!

Luigi: Wow, this can pierce through any defense number! Thanks, Koolba!

Koolba: No problem!

Luigi signs up again.

Luigi- Rank 10 Battle

Luigi: I shall win this time!

And he hooked the bomb to the robot. Once it was hooked, the robot shot it at Crystal Shell, and it shattered into a million pieces once the bomb hit it!

Luigi: I won!

END ROUND

Bloat: Nice! Now, you and Mario rise to Rank 10, and both of you get paid 100 coins!

Luigi: Each?

Bloat: Each!

Luigi: I'm in heaven.

Bloat: hands over coins Also, Mario is behind by 2 levels.

Luigi: How?

Bloat: By skipping him twice. So Mario gets 2 free points!

Bloat: Also, I will repair both of your robots!

Mario: Yippee!
