The gang was walking through Route 35. The sun was setting even further now, making everyone a little uncomfortable since it was getting darker and who knows what kind of pokemon or other creatures come out at night.
"So Rosalina, wanna tell me why you pulled that crazy stunt back there? Seriously, why in the world would you NOT tell us in the first place that you could magically force Whitney to tell us where the gem is? Do you not realize how much time and energy we wasted, going through all that training?" Waluigi whispered to the space queen, who were both at the back of the group.
Rosalina shook her head. "My magic is a curse, Waluigi. Haven't I told you before that I hate using it? It makes me feel...dirty, I guess. Like I'm cheating fate or something. I always feel guilty whenever I use my magic because I always fear that people will take advantage of me for it, or I'll become addicted to it and spin out of control. I just wanna be me, you know?"
"What are you talking about? It's definitely not a curse, Rosalina! Your powers are extremely useful for this mission. Without you, this all probably would've taken twice as long to do. And if anyone takes advantage of you, then let me know. I'll shove my elf shoe down their throat and make them taste my foot sweat!" Waluigi laughed. Rosalina smiled and playfully rolled her eyes.
"Thanks...I guess. But like I said before, I'm only gonna use magic in emergency situations. I don't wanna go to the dark side like before..."
"Oh, will you shut up already!?" Kammy yelled and turned around to her.
"Excuse me!?" Rosalina gasped.
"Honey, you knew exactly what you were doing! Now because of you, the chances of that stupid purple E.T. guy taking over the world has just increased even more because we wasted our time doing that stupid training! Don't give us that BS about how 'Oh, if I use magic too much, I'll turn evil!' or 'I want people to like me for me, not for my powers!' Give me a break. You're technically the most powerful person in the group and the fact that you don't use your abilities to their full potential is just stupid. You are a Mary Sue! And the fact that nobody else is pissed off at you proves my point even further!" Kammy exclaimed.
"You're wrong, Kammy. I'm also mad at this alien chick. What if she IS evil but is trying to play the sweet and innocent act and is subtly making this adventure go as slow as possible!? I've got my eye on you, you little freak. Any more tricks like that and I'll send out my Beedrill who will sting you multiple times but somehow not kill you!" Bowser threatened.
"You two better lay off of her! She had her reason for not doing the 'magic trick' earlier, so just let it go already, it's over! Besides Kammy, you're just as powerful as she is, so why the hell didn't YOU magically force that girl to tell us where the gem is?" Waluigi defended.
"Who says I'm as powerful as the Mary Sue is? If I had that kind of power, I would've done it on that broad when we first met her! Either that, or I just haven't discovered it. Just face it, your little girlfriend is either a selfish idiot or she's secretly evil!" Kammy raised her voice.
Waluigi got in her face. "If you dare call her that again..."
"What are you gonna do, stickman? You're gonna kill her?" Bowser smirked.
"Aaaaaaaalright guys! Break it off now! We don't need another fight to go down, do we? Unless everyone WANTS a fight to start so things don't get boring, but in that case, I'm pretty sure someone would get murdered," DK interjected.
"...Whatever," was all Waluigi responded and went back to Rosalina.
"I swear, I think the alien chick might've casted a love spell on Waluigi. I've never seen him act so defensive for someone before. He's usually just a jackass who only cares about himself and for being underweight, but now...it's actually kinda scary how much he likes her. I mean, the thought of Waluigi being in a relationship with anyone is a nightmare in itself!" Bowser scowled.
"It's definitely possible. Someone as powerful as Rosalina can easily pull it off. That girl sure knows how to put up an act. She's worse than Mario, and that's seriously saying something!" Kammy gagged.
"I agree. It's a shame she looks a lot like Peach though...because now whenever I look at my Peach poster collection, I'll probably see her instead!" Bowser complained.
"Yeah, she DOES look a lot like...wait, what did you say?" Kammy raised an eyebrow.
"Um, n-nothing! Oh look, a penny on the ground! TAKE IT!" Bowser panicked and threw the penny at Kammy's face.
Larry tapped Wario on the shoulder.
"What the hell do you want, you clown-face?" Wario grumpily asked.
"I wanna tell you a shocking secret, you big baboon! Mario is cheating on Peach for Pauline!" Larry said. Wario almost dropped his jaw then laughed out loud.
"Hahahahahaha! You can't be serious! This is a joke, right? Mario of all people cheating on his girlfriend? I may be a moron, but I'm not stupid!"
"It isn't a joke, and yes, you ARE stupid! Bowser Jr. heard Daisy crying and telling Luigi about it then he told us. It is definitely for real!" Larry said.
Wario's smirk faded. "Oh wow...but...why the hell would he do that for? Did something happen between Mario and Peach that caused him to do that?"
Larry shrugged. "Nobody knows. But the fact of the matter is, is that once Peach finds out, she'll go BALLISTIC! And then we can see Mario get the torture that he deserves, heh heh heh!"
"Hmm, yes, it would be entertaining wouldn't it? Still though, you can't help but feel sorry for the princess. I really wanna know how it happened though..." Wario said.
"Are we there yet?" Charmy asked.
"I don't know," Bombette replied.
"Are we there yet?" Charmy asked again.
"I told you, I don't know!" Bombette raised her voice.
"Are we there yet?" Charmy asked yet again, not getting the message.
"Why do you keep asking me this!? I SAID I DON'T KNOW! Are you deaf or something!?" Bombette yelled even louder.
"Are we there yet?"
"DID YOU NOT JUST HEAR ME!? I DON'T FREAKING KNOW, MAN!"
"...Are we there yet?"
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! YOU STUPID PIECE OF-"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Bombette got so mad that she exploded, knocking Charmy backwards.
"Hahaha! See Amy, I told you bombs explode when they get mad! IN YOUR FACE!" The bee laughed.
"Ugh, whatever. Anything to make the time pass by, I guess..." Amy groaned tiredly.
Kooper was lying on Yoshi's back as if he were tanning. "Watt, be a dear and go fetch me that apple on the tree branch over there."
"One apple coming right up, sir!" Watt squealed and floated over to said branch.
"Thank you, oh and Vivian? Keep on flapping those leaves in my face. It's beginning to get muggy out here and I really don't want sweat to form on my clean and shiny face," Kooper said while checking his nails like a girl.
"Of course, Kooper! Anything you want! You are the boss!" Vivian giggled and slowly flapped two very long leaves close to his face, cooling him down.
"Here you go, Kooper. I even checked the apple for you in case it was rotting or there were any disgusting worms crawling around, but there weren't! I am so awesome!" Watt cheered and tossed the apple to Kooper.
"Thanks. You're a real peach," Kooper complimented with a wink.
"Did somebody say my name?" Peach called out.
"Hey Yoshi, do you think you could walk a little bit slower? I feel like the more movement you create, the more I bounce around and the more likely I'll fall off," Kooper asked.
"Oh, sure! Sorry about that! I totally did not mean to make you uncomfortable, because that's Fire Bro's job!" Yoshi said.
"I have a job? Since when?" Fire Bro asked while chewing a bunch of grass.
"You have one now. I'm incredibly thirsty so I need you to head back to Goldenrod City and get me a water bottle, k? Good. Don't get into trouble!" Kooper snapped his fingers and smirked.
"I'm right on it, my boy! I'll be back faster than a barefoot jackrabbit on a hot greasy griddle in the middle of August in Dry Dry Desert!" Fire Bro blurted out and backflipped his way back to Goldenrod.
"Huh. Where have I heard that line before?" Vivian wondered out loud.
"Ugh. Kooper...I know he's hurt and all, but he's kind of taking this a little too far," Birdo said.
"I know, right? It's, like, totally pathetic that he's using the whole sympathy deal to his advantage! Maybe we should do something to show him that he's in the wrong?" Goombella suggested.
"What did you have in mind exactly? I'm all for calling out on someone's mistakes or BS!" Birdo schemed.
"Hmm...actually, let's wait a little longer. If he keeps on being a demanding jackass, then I'll let you know the plan, okay?" Goombella asked and Birdo excitedly nodded.
The group came across a large tree that stood in their way of moving forward.
"HEY! Who the hell puts a Godzilla-sized tree in the middle of the path!? That's it everyone, stand back! I'm burning this bitch to the ground!" Kazooie yelled in anger, but Toad stopped her.
"WAIT, DON'T! That's actually a Sudowoodo! Someone's gonna have to fight it so we can pass through!" He yelled.
"Um...can't we just find another way around instead of fighting this thing? There surely can't be only one way to get to the next city!" Pauline suggested.
Goombario laughed and shook his head. "You women and your logic. If we try to find another route, we'll be wasting more time, therefore it will get even MORE darker and we'll have a harder time finding our way through to Olivine City!"
Pauline glared at him. "What does me being a woman have to do with my logic?"
"Because women are known to make stupid decisions more than men do! Not surprising actually, since women base their decisions on emotion rather than logic," Goombario scowled and glared right back.
"Still making sexist comments, I see? Listen here buddy, get over the fact that Goombella broke it off with you. You're seriously mad over nothing," DK consulted.
"IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT! It's just that, I've recently realized that women are so confusing and annoying that I'm really starting to question why I've always tried to chase after them," Goombario angrily defended.
"Wow! You're really trying to set a goal for being the biggest asshole to ever exist, aren't you?" Daisy grunted.
"Ladies...I think it's time we teach Goombario what a woman's wrath REALLY feels like," Mona said with a smirk. She and all the other girls started walking towards the goomba.
"Pfffff, okay whatever! You seriously think you all can take me down? You don't have the mad skills that I do, plus men are automatically superior to women in the strength department so don't even try to...wait...what are you doing!? STOP! LET GO OF ME! SOMEONE RESCUE ME!" Goombario shrilled as the girls grabbed him.
"I'm not one to advocate violence, but in this case, I'll make an exception. YEAH! RIP HIS HAT APART! STOMP HIS FACE IN! SLAP HIM SILLY!" Mario cheered the ladies on.
"Oh, so then can I make an exception to beat you up because you're an unfaithful bastard!?" Yoshi angrily said.
"Unfaithful? I...I have no idea what you're talking about!" Mario gulped.
"YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, YOU HOMEWRECKER! HOW COULD YOU SCREW OVER SUCH AN AMAZING WOMAN!?" Yoshi screamed and started to sob.
"Yoshi, can you lower the volume down on your voice please? I'm trying to rest here," Kooper snarled.
Toad shook his head and tapped the dinosaur on his shoulder. "Yoshi...I need to speak with you right now...PRIVATELY!" He then dragged Yoshi further away from everyone else. "Okay, listen to me right now, you are THIS close to spilling the secret in front of everyone and creating a crapload of drama! You have every right to be mad at Mario for this, but PLEASE, just lay low about it for a while!"
"How can I just 'lay low' about it when Mario, our closest friend and hero, is cheating on Peach, the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom and also our closest friend? That's like me saying I love eating fruit yet I turn around and eat vegetables more of the time than I eat fruit," Yoshi said.
"...That comparison literally made no sense whatsoever. Ugh, Yoshi...please, just quit talking about in public. We do NOT need anything messing this up right now," Toad pleaded.
"Are you guys joking or something? Mario is SERIOUSLY cheating on Peach!? That could never happen!" Kooper interrupted.
"AH! Oh no...K-Kooper! Damnit! I totally forgot you were on Yoshi's back! UGGGGGHHHHHH! How many more people are going to 'accidentally' find out about this stupid secret!?" Toad stomped the ground in frustration.
"Yes, Kooper, it's true. Mario is cheating on Peach for Pauline because apparently he likes skanks better than airheads!" Yoshi pouted.
"Wow...talk about a real shocker. I never thought Mario could go so low as to do something so horrible to an innocent girl like Peach. Who else knows about this?" Kooper asked.
"Oh...um...not many people, really. Just me, you, Yoshi, Daisy, Luigi, DK, Waluigi, Toadette, Dixie, Birdo, Goombella, Fire Bro, and Jojora...okay, it's a lot more people than I originally thought, but we're all keeping it a secret for now and you need to as well!" Toad demanded.
"Fine, I'm not even that worried about it. I'm actually more worried about the fact that Fire Bro hasn't come back with my water bottle yet! It's been five minutes already. I thought he had superb ninja skills?" Kooper complained.
Jojora brushed off her hands and laughed at Goombario. "HA! Still feeling like an overconfident sexist bastard now? Never mess with women like that or there WILL be hell to pay."
The goomba's hat was torn to pieces and he had a black eye along with some slash marks on his legs and cheeks, probably from the girls' nails, both of his eyebrows were shaven off, and grass was shoved into his mouth.
"Pffffft!" Goombario spat out the grass and started to sob. "Owwww...you...how could you neanderthals do something so horrible to me!?"
"Well, dearie, you did deserve it for being an extremely rude brat with no sense of respect towards the female race whatsoever," Flurrie admitted.
"Plus you're nothing but a creepy stalker! Seriously Goombario, you need to get over the fact that I don't wanna go out with you, nor do I like you in any way! Quit taking it out on women!" Goombella yelled in frustration, clearly tired of dealing with his antics.
"Hey, you guys! What the heck happened to the colossal tree?" Toadette pointed out. Everyone looked and saw that it mysteriously disappeared.
"Oh, that? Well, while I was back at Goldenrod getting the water for Kooper, there was a chainsaw on display at a store, so I stole it, got chased by a bunch of people, ninja'd my way back here, turned on the chainsaw while everyone was fighting and arguing and hating each other, and the tree just fled away like a pansy! I don't know why he seemed so scared, chainsaws are awesome to play with!" Fire Bro explained while juggling the chainsaw.
"Um...th...thanks for that, I guess. Now, put that thing away before you hurt someone on accident...OR ON PURPOSE!" Daisy demanded.
"Ugh, fine! You're such a killjoy!" Fire Bro pouted and threw the chainsaw far into the forest. A screech was then heard as if an animal was hurt.
"Excellent! This means we can continue onward! Come on everyone, let's run like we're as free as a bird!" Peach cheered and ran ahead of everyone else. She then crashed into a tree.
"Fire Bro, where is my water bottle at!? I thought you would be able to get it to me sooner!" Kooper complained.
"It's right here! CATCH!" Fire Bro yelled and threw the water bottle. His aim was horribly off and the bottle hit Wendy in the face.
"OH MY GOD! MY POOR WATER BOTTLE! IT'S STARTING TO LEEEEAAAAAKK!" Kooper screeched in horror.
"OWWWWWWWW! You little nimrod! COME HERE SO I CAN POUND YOUR FACE IN!" Wendy raged and chased after the loon.
The gang walked a few more minutes and eventually reached Ecruteak City. But this city is irrelevant and uninteresting to the current story so everyone ignored everything there and entered Route 38. The sky had gotten a lot darker, although everyone could still see decently.
"Um, y-you guys? This looks, um, a bit scary. I don't think it'd be a good idea to go through here...what if something attacks us and we don't see it coming?" Koops nervously spoke, shaking in the knees.
"Oh, hush. Everything will be fine as long as we all stay together closely and do not seperate into different paths!" Diddy laughed.
Right after he said that, a wild Tauros was heard growling and everyone saw it charging towards them.
"HOLY CRAP! QUICK EVERYONE, SCATTER ALL OVER THE PLACE WHILE SCREAMING FOR YOUR LIIIIIIIIIIIVES!" Toadette screamed and then everyone ran in different directions.
Wendy split off from her family, fearing for her life. Koops, Goombella, Flurrie, Wario, and Waluigi had followed her way by coincidence.
"My god, did you guys see that thing!? I almost crapped my pants!" Wario shrilled.
"I think that would've been even worse than that thing attacking us..." Waluigi murmured.
"I think we can stop running now. I can't see that thing anymore so we should be in the clear," Flurrie said.
"Man, pokemon sure can be scary creatures. Makes me wonder how many people in the pokemon world get killed by them every year..." Goombella wondered out loud.
"Um, you guys? Wendy's in front of us...should we, um, just go back?" Koops gulped. Despite him standing up to her earlier, Koops was afraid of what Wendy could do to get him back.
"Heck no! We're not gonna let her get to us. Besides, I don't think she would dare mess with you after you totally told her off earlier! Man, that was so classic! It should've been caught on camera!" Goombella cheered.
"HOLD UP HERE! Koops told Wendy off? THE Wendy?" Waluigi asked in shock.
"He did indeed! He called the little delinquet out on her stupidity and brattiness and she did nothing to make a comeback! A gold star for the scrawny koopa boy!" Flurrie praised.
"Wow Koops, you're the man! I didn't think you'd have it in you to stand up to such horrifying creatures!" Waluigi also praised and high fived the Koopa.
"Meh, talk to me when you stand up to the actual bad guys like Bowser. Wendy is nothing compared to him," Wario shrugged.
Wendy angrily turned around and faced the others. "Are you guys done talking crap about me? Or am I so important to you that you have to keep my name in your mouths all the time?"
"Well you do kinda deserve to be crapped on considering all the torture you like to put everyone into, including your family!" Waluigi snarled.
"At least I don't have an eating disorder and look like a literal walking stick. Where is your space girlfriend at anyways? I'm sure she would love to talk to you about how much she prefers an ape over the likes of you," Wendy retorted.
"W-why do you always have the need to be so mean all the time? Is it really so hard to try to be nice?" Koops spoke, waiting for the inevitable insult.
"I'm sorry, was I talking to you, blockhead? Don't think I haven't forgotten that little stunt you pulled earlier, I will get my payback and I promise you that you're gonna wish you never met me," Wendy threatened.
"Isn't that what we all wish for, though?" Flurrie snickered. She was then hit by a glob of mud.
"Whoops, sorry! My hand slipped!" Wendy teased, her hand all muddy.
"Whoops, so did mine!" Goombella spoke and backed up Flurrie by hitting her with another glob of mud from the same mud puddle.
"UGH! YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Wendy raged and threw an even bigger glob of mud. The mud splashed over everyone this time and thus began the mud war as literally pieces of mud went flying everywhere.
"This fight is feeling too one sided, I'm gonna go help out Wendy!" Wario said and switched teams.
"Wario, you idiot! She's the enemy, you're not suppose to be fighting with her!" Waluigi yelled. Wario ignored him by throwing a mud piece at his head, covering it entirely.
Meanwhile, in the next group, Yoshi, Birdo, Toad, Toadette, Lady SaSa, Kooper, Diddy, Dixie, Amy, Charmy, Goombario, Vivian, Watt, Mona, and Fire Bro ventured off into a more foresty path of the route.
"Thanks everyone for listening to me about not splitting up! Seriously people, have you never watched any horror movie? If you're in a group and you're visiting unknown territory, especially late at night, you NEVER split up! Don't be surprised if some of us get killed now!" Diddy ranted.
"Blame Toadette, she was the one who told who everyone to scream like maniacs and run from a freaking small bull!" Amy said.
"It was a spur of the moment thing, okay? Besides...me and the others have bad experience with bulls...brrr!" Toadette shuddered.
"Well, whatever. We're just gonna have to get to Olivine City and pray that the others will be there too," Dixie said.
"What if you're not religious though?" Fire Bro asked.
"I don't know, maybe trust in fate?" Dixie shrugged.
"What if you don't believe in fate though?" Fire Bro asked.
"Then...believe in luck..." Dixie raised her eyebrow.
"What if you don't believe in luck though?" Fire Bro asked.
Dixie gave him a blank stare. "You're screwing with me, aren't you?"
Fire Bro grinned then laughed. "Hee hee hee! It's fun messing with people's heads! Ain't that right, Birdo?"
Birdo awkwardly stared at him. "Um...yeah...because I totally do that all the time..."
Dixie smirked. "Sigh, he may be annoying but his antics never get old...well, for me at least..."
"Vivian, get me some bug spray right now! These stupid flies keep landing on my body and it's annoying the cheese out of me!" Kooper grunted.
"Huh? But I don't have any bug spray!" Vivian shrieked.
"Well then, go back to Ecruteak City and get some. I am NOT getting a bug bite right now, especially since all my puberty acne is officially gone," Kooper said.
"You want me to go all the way back there...where I'll be all alone in the dark?" Vivian gulped.
"Oh, you'll survive. Besides, if anything bad comes at ya, just hit 'em with a Fiery Jinx! Now go!" Kooper impatiently demanded.
"Why don't I go instead, Kooper? I'm practically a floating light bulb so I can easily light my way back without a problem!" Watt interjected.
"Are you two hearing yourselves right now? Why the hell would you go through all the trouble of getting a stupid spray can just for a wuss who can't handle a few flies landing on him?" Birdo argued with her hands on her hips.
"But...Birdo! Kooper is injured, so therefore we have to cater to his every need! What kind of friends would we be if we just ignored his requests?" Watt questioned.
"I don't really consider you a friend, just more of an acquaintance," Kooper admitted.
"I understand that he's injured, but this guy right here does not need to make such ridiculous and unnecessary requests. Seriously Kooper, you're taking this too far," Birdo shook her head.
"GOD, what is it with you women always trying to question people's motives all the time!? Why can't you just let people do what they want, for crying out loud!? It's their life, not yours!" Goombario loudly interjected.
"I assume that little beating earlier didn't make you finally see how much of an insufferable sexist prick you're being?" Mona scowled.
"Yeah, for someone who is such a genius, you sure are stupid enough to make a ton of generalizations," Toadette added.
"Damn right I'm a genius! Oh, and that 'beating' only just proved to me that women can't do things by themselves. Notice how ALL of them ganged up on me, and not just a few?" Goombario twisted it all around to fit his point of view.
"You're seriously asking to get pummeled to death, aren't you!?" Amy yelled, getting out her hammer.
"Come on Amy, you bash him in the head while I sting him everywhere else! MWAHAHAHAHA! I HAVE FURY!" Charmy evilly laughed and chased down Goombario with Amy. Screams of terror ensued.
"This is starting to get boring. Ooh, I have an idea! Why don't we sing a song to pass the time?" Lady SaSa suggested.
"No thanks, I'm not a fan generic dance music," Diddy objected.
"It's not generic nor is it dance music! It's actually a classic that I'm sure you'll all love, especially if you're a nostalgic pokemon fan! HIT THE MUSIC!" Lady SaSa shouted and 90's pop music started to play from nowhere.
"...She's kidding right? Please tell me she's just acting obnoxious!" Watt said.
Toad gasped. "WAIT! I recognize this music! It's 'Viridian City' from the early pokemon days! YOU BETTER LET ME SING MY HEART OUT, GIRL!"
Toadette smacked her forehead. "Well, no stopping this now I guess..."
"Hold up here! Since the song is Viridian City, we're gonna have to change it to Olivine City so it would make more sense in the current context!" Yoshi suggested.
"Yes, that's right! Alright everyone, you better sing or else I'll take my blonde extensions off and make you eat it!" Lady SaSa warned and the singing began as everyone began to walk joyfully.

The song ended and everyone just stood there, staring awkwardly at each other.
"Sooooooo...uhh...did you guys know that I can lick my elbow?" Toadette randomly spoke.
In the final group, which consisted of Mario, Peach, Pauline, Luigi, Daisy, DK, Rosalina, Parakarry, Banjo, Kazooie, Bombette, Jojora, Bowser, Kammy, Larry, and Bowser Jr., everything was going more normally, surprisingly.
"Hey DK, can I ask you something?" Bombette asked, being super close to the ape.
"Go right ahead," DK responded with a grin.
"If you were to describe me in one word, what would it be?" She asked. DK's grin quickly faded, thinking how random of a question that was.
"Um...err...explosive?" He guessed.
"Oh come on! People ALWAYS describe me as that! Try another word!" Bombette playfully rolled her eyes.
DK sighed, getting tired of Bombette's clingyness. "I dunno, uhh, unpredictable?"
"Unpredictable? Huh...that's...something no one has ever told me before. Why do you think I'm unpredictable?" Bombette curiously asked.
"Because, well, you're a bit random and you kind of have a short temper...n-not that it's a bad thing! It's just that...umm...it's hard to tell what you'll do or say next sometimes...?" DK tried his best to form his answer as best as possible. He didn't actually think Bombette was that unpredictable, it was just the first word that popped in his head.
"Interesting. I like it. Unpredictability can be pretty cool because it keeps things from getting boring, you know? I didn't realize I was THAT unpredictable, but since you said it, it must be true," Bombette swooned and winked. DK forced a smile and turned his head to Rosalina, who was close to him. She gave him a look of sympathy since she could tell that DK wasn't into Bombette like that.
"Being unpredictable is so played out. Predictable is the new unpredictable and people shouldn't have to garner attention by doing unpredictable acts like twerking against a guy in front of millions of people on TV or dressing in crazy costumes made by stoners," Parakarry said.
"Do you ever find time to shut that trap of yours?" Jojora groaned.
"I really hope the others are alright. I can't believe all of us just split apart so easily like that. You should've done something, Bowser! If the Pokemon would've seen your appearance, it would immediately run the other way!" Daisy half-joked.
"Laugh all you want now, Daisy. But you'll soon find out how wrong keeping a secret from your closest friends can be," Bowser smirked and walked on ahead.
Daisy almost tripped over herself after she heard that. "Wh-what did he just say? Luigi...you heard what he just said, right?"
Luigi gulped and nodded. "Yeah. You don't think he knows about Mario and Pauline, does he?"
"No...th-there's no way he could've found out...unless...one of the others must've told him. UGH! It was probably Jojora, I knew I couldn't trust that horseface to keep it a secret!" Daisy started to stress out and ran her hands through her hair.
"So what should we do then? If he does know, then we can't trust Bowser to keep it a secret for long..." Luigi asked in worry.
"I don't know. Just give me some time to think about this. Man, and to think that trying to save the world wasn't already enough stress!" Daisy stated and started to deduct the numerous possible ways she could get this situation overwith as fast and safe as possible. She saw Jojora walking not too far away from them and pulled her over.
"HEY! No touching my wrist! That's where I wear my platinum watch on my work days!" Jojora said.
"Yeah fine, whatever. Did you tell Bowser that Mario is cheating on Peach for Pauline? I ask this because he said something about keeping a secret to me, so I think he knows!" Daisy impatiently asked.
Jojora widened her eyes a bit. "No, I didn't tell him! I swear on my life I didn't tell anyone about the secret! Look, I know I may seem like a total cad at times, but with stuff like this, I actually am loyal enough to keep my word!"
Daisy sighed, now getting a headache from all this insanity. "Great. So who the hell told Bowser then?"
"So Mario, I was thinking that once the world is saved, because we all know it will, we could go on a date to Mushroom Paradise, you know, the five star restaurant that we went to on our very first date? I think it would be totally awesome and we can both pay this time! What do you say, sugar honey?" Peach suggested while holding Mario's hand tight.
"Sugar honey? Did you seriously just call him that? Hahaha! Peach, I pity you sometimes. You have to stress over ruling a kingdom and getting kidnapped multiple times...but then hearing you say and do the most questionable and dumbest stuff makes me think someone even as horrid as Wendy could do a better job," Pauline criticized.
"It's not my fault Bowser's in love with me! And you trying ruling a kingdom, it's not as easy as it seems! Just look at the Legend of Zelda games, poor Ganondorf is always beaten by Link, just because he wants to take over the land!" Peach cried.
"What? That comparison doesn't even...ugh, nevermind. Why do I even bother associating myself with small minded people?" Pauline murmured in frustration.
"So, yeah, Mario, about that date...you wanna do it?" Peach asked in glee. But Mario wasn't even paying attention to her. He was sort of looking behind him, and behind him was the Koopa family (minus Wendy of course).
"What's wrong, Mario? Is your neck broken?" Peach asked.
"No! It's Bowser, Kammy, and the two kids behind me...they keep on glaring at me. What is their deal? They haven't done that when we first got here but ever since we got rid of that tree, they've just been giving the cold stare. It's making me uncomfortable," Mario explained.
"Don't pay attention to those losers. They just wanna scare you because they're your biggest enemy and they have nothing better to do with their time," Pauline said and rubbed Mario's shoulder to calm him down. Peach glanced at the Koopas for a second and back at Pauline, then started to feel worried.
"You know, I wonder what would happen if I set Bowser on fire with my fire egg. Since he breathes fire, does that mean he's immune to fire or it doesn't hurt him much? Or would it set him on fire but not hurt him? You know, I should really become enlisted in the army, I have so many brilliant tactics and thoughts that I'd be the first ever bird to be ranked highly by the army! I would make the Guinness World Records, man!" Kazooie fantasized cheerfully.
"Yeah, not gonna happen. You'd get sent back home on the first day because you'll scare the soldiers off with your 'questionable weaponry' and anger issues," Banjo rolled his eyes.
Everyone made it towards the entrance to Olivine City and successfully regrouped.
"Well, this was extremely anti-climatic," Toad commented.
"Oh wow, you guys are alright! Some of us here thought that you guys might've been maimed or eaten alive or something," Diddy said in relief.
"Actually that was only you, Diddy. Let's not beat around the bush now," Birdo revealed.
"I agree. Bushes never deserve to be beaten," Watt added.
"What the hell happened to you six?" Kazooie asked. Everyone looked at Wendy, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, Wario, and Waluigi and saw that they were all covered in mud from head to toe.
"Um, we kind of got into a mud brawl. It was actually a bit of fun...until I accidentally swallowed some of the mud..." Flurrie shamely admitted. Everyone immediately got grossed out looks.
"How did it taste? Did it taste like chocolate? Please tell me in as much detail as possible!" Fire Bro pleaded.
"NO! Just stop it, for pete's sake! I've had a rough day and a rough night so let's get into the city and find someplace to rest at already!" Wendy raged with demand.
"Geez Wendy, what's wrong, mud stuck up your ass?" Jojora laughed.
"Alright, that's enough. Okay, so Whitney said that there was somewhere we could sign up for this event that's giving out the gold gem as a prize. All we need to do is just go into the city, ask someone where we could find the place to sign up at, and then go from there," Mario instructed and everyone else nodded.
Just as they were about to walk any further, a purple-spotted Toad girl wearing a leather jacket and tight, ripped jeans came into their view out of nowhere. Her hair barely went past her shoulders and was jet black, and it all hung over her right shoulder, along with bangs that covered most of her forehead. Her eyes were very fierce looking.
"Who the fuck are you, and what the fuck do you want from us!?" Kazooie shrieked. She was then slapped by Banjo for acting stupid.
"Wait a second, you're a Toad! How the hell did you get here all the way from the Mushroom Kingdom?" Daisy asked, being more confused than ever now.
"My name is Gekikara and I have powers beyond your wildest imagination," The girl simply stated.
"Yeah, okay, and my name is Demi Lovato and I live in Wonderland," Larry scowled.
"Gekikara? That's an interesting name. How did you get here and what powers do you have exactly?" Diddy asked.
Gekikara hesitated to speak at first. "That's...for you to find out later. Let's just say I've been watching over you all for a while now, collecting the gems and saving the world from the purple alien."
Everyone widened their eyes and started to feel creeped out.
"H-how do you know about this? You're working with Tatanga aren't you!? Oh my god...YOU'RE ONE OF THEM!" Yoshi overly freaked.
"Huh? No, I'm not one of them...and I'm not exactly working with Tatanga with either. I'm not evil, but I'm not on your guys' side either," Gekikara said.
"Oh please, you ARE one of them! Just the way you dress screams evil!" Toad shouted.
"You know what? I think YOU are one of them! 'Them' being the idiots!" Gekikara raised her voice.
Toad gasped and then started to sob. "That...that was so mean!"
"Okay Gekikara, tell us exactly what the hell your purpose is of being here and talking to us. You say you're not working with Tatanga, but you also say you're not on our side. What gives?" Pauline questioned.
"I'm basically a neutral in this little war that's going on here. You guys have the potential to defeat Tatanga and his crew, but you still have a long way to go to get there. Even if you DO get the Crystal Star Rod, it's going to be difficult," Gekikara explained.
"You know about the Crystal Star Rod too!? Okay, tell us how you know about all of this right now! How are we even suppose to be sure that you want Tatanga to be defeated anyways?" Dixie asked.
"I want him to be defeated...but...I don't at the same time. He did something horrible to me, but...I still care for him somehow. We're actully a lot alike, but...it's complicated really. Which is why I'm the neutral in this. If the world gets taken over, I honestly wouldn't really mind. If it doesn't, that's fine too. I'll only help you guys if you keep getting the gems. No gems equals no help from me," Gekikara said.
"Okay, I'm really confused here. Did you know Tatanga before or something? Did you use to be his friend?" Mona asked.
"...Something like that. There's a big reason why he is doing all of this actually, but of course, it doesn't excuse what he's doing," Gekikara slightly revealed.
"Okay...but no offense, we really don't need your help, especially from someone who seems shady as hell and is probably wearing one of those microphone spy devices on her right now so Tatanga can hear everything we're saying clearly. I GOT YOU, BITCH!" Bowser cackled.
"No, I'm not actually. You can believe what you wanna believe, but I have special abilities that can greatly aid you on your quest. Get the gold gem, and I will come back to give one to you. I have to go now," Gekikara said and a white flash appeared before all of them for a few seconds. After the flash disappeared, Gekikara was gone.
"That chick is freaking weird. I think we may have found you a love interest, Fire Bro!" Bowser Jr. snickered.
"Weird indeed. How the hell could she have been watching us all this time? If we get the gem, and she actually comes back, she's gonna have to tell us more info about herself. This is just too strange to let go so easily...and I wanna know what her affiliation with Tatanga is, and how she got these so called powers..." Mario wondered out loud.
EOC.
Woo, 30 chapters completed now! This chapter was originally going to have more length to it, but I really didn't want to drag it out like the previous chapter so I had to end it here.
Next chapter will have the gang learn about this event that holds the gold gem as a prize, and they meet four familiar Mario characters who will be competing against them. Also, next chapter will put more attention towards the underused characters like Mona, Watt, Koops, Kooper, Vivian, Diddy, Bombette, Bowser Jr., etc. because I'm realizing now that I'm starting to put a little too much focus on Rosalina/Waluigi/DK and Peach/Mario/Pauline/Luigi/Daisy so I want to balance the 'line time' a bit more.
