Animal Crossing's another series I hold close to me. And no, the Villager isn't a murderous psychopath, he's just a bit of a competition freak on his worst days. Regarding Isabelle, she's a sweetheart. And since the Smash Mansion is actually pretty close to the town itself, she's also in charge of paperwork regarding the large stage up above Smashville, and also for checking in fighters before they get to the mansion.

Smashville…

Isabelle, assistant to the mayor of Smashville, had just finished the paperwork regarding the return of both the Smashville platform and the one over the city down south as stages in the Super Smash Bros. tournament. As she filed it over to the dimensional rift that had a sign reading, "To Master Hand," she heard loud knocking on her office door.

Isabelle politely chirped, "Come in!"

The door opened, and Isabelle was completely blown away by the amount of people that stood there.

Red, Leaf, Popo, Nana, Wolf, Young Link, and Pichu all entered the building holding Smasher Tickets, which they could trade in for a pass that gave them identification and allowed them to enter the Mansion near the outskirts of the town up north.

Isabelle, still smiling, said, "Veteran Smashers, I assume?"

All of them but Wolf nodded, who was chugging a jar of what Isabelle assumed to be Lon Lon Milk.

"Tickets, please!"

Popo and Nana passed their ticket to Isabelle, who gave them a pass with the number 15 on it. The cold-accustomed duo left, Popo in particular whooping with joy as Nana smiled at his sheer elation.

Pichu jumped off of Young Link's shoulders and onto her desk. After initially fawning over her, Isabelle handed Pichu a card with the number 19. Pichu grabbed her bag from Link and walked to the Mansion.

Red and Leaf were next. Red asked, "Hey, is it okay if Leaf over here gets a pass of her own?"

Isabelle nodded, and gave the duo two cards that each had the numbers 33, 34, and 35 inscribed on it. Red sent out his Charizard, giving it a reluctant pat on the shoulder to let it know that they were flying to their destination. After a squawk of indignation, Leaf ran after the two, yelling, "Wait for me!"

The child clad in green, Young Link, walked up to Isabelle and handed her his ticket. Isabelle, with a smile of approval, handed him a pass that had the number 22 engraved on it. Young Link, with a wide smile, ran out the door to catch up with the others.

That left the Villager's trusty secretary alone with the vulpine mercenary. Wolf, in the middle of his fourth container of Lon Lon Milk, walked up to Isabelle and asked, "Hey, can I get my ticket right n-"

Wolf didn't get to finish his sentence, as he aspirated some of his drink and spent the next minute in a coughing fit. Isabelle tilted her head in concern at seeing him choke, and once he was done, she asked him, "Mr. Wolf, do you need a glass of water or something?"

Wolf muttered, "Just take my ticket, please."

Isabelle did as he asked, and gave him a card with the number 44 written on it. Wolf then left the building, but not before accidentally tripping over a potted plant.

As Wolf left, Isabelle saw the mayor walk in.

"Oh! Mr. Mayor! How does it feel being a veteran now?"

Villager gave Isabelle a friendly wave before saying, "It feels really nice, to be honest. How's the paperwork coming along?"

Isabelle put on a proud look on her face, before saying, "I just finished all of the paperwork! Smashville is as good as ever, and the city down south was incredibly cooperative regarding negotiations!"

Villager gave a nod of approval, before saying to her, "Hey, Master Hand wanted me to come and get you. He says that you're long overdue for a reward…"

Nodding, Isabelle followed Villager out of the town hall and north to the Smash Mansion.

Master Hand, now having told the returning veterans (except Snake, who currently resided in his quarters with Otacon and Sunny) to remain in a isolated room until he decided that it would be fit for them to come out and show themselves to the other Smashers, floated out and checked his stopwatch. It had been about half an hour since he sent Villager out on his errand. What could the kid possibly be doing?

Villager yelling, "I'm here, Master Hand!" snapped him out of his thoughts.

"Ah, Villager! Have you brought the one I requested?"

Villager gave a nod of barely controlled excitement, and Master Hand looked to his left to see a yellow dog with Bells tied in her hair.

"Your name is… Isabelle, yes?"

"Yep, that's me!"

Master Hand gave a thumbs-up, and continued, "Well, it's your lucky day, Isabelle! I've been impressed with your drive and work ethic ever since you began to sub for Villager's mayoral duties three years ago. That kind of persistence and determination deserves a reward even greater than that of being an Assist Trophy!"

Isabelle could only gape. Could this mean…

As if he read her mind, Master Hand pulled out a letter from his briefcase, saying, "Isabelle, welcome to the Super Smash Brothers tournament. Your waiting room will be right over… there!"

Master Hand snapped his fingers, and a building with a sign that read, "For Newcomers," appeared, and a small card with a 68 on it floated into her hand.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have more… pressing matters to attend to."

Master Hand vanished in a flash of light.

After a moment of silence, Isabelle and Villager jumped in joy and gave each other their secret handshake, and then Villager began to explain what life as a Smasher would entail, while Isabelle listened attentively all the way to the building.

So, yeah, that was a chapter that happened. Wolf/Isabelle might be a platonic relationship I may attempt to write in the future. Arranging for a large platform to float above your city while people with all sorts of dangerous abilites battle on it requires paperwork, and a lot of it.

Anyways, Alola's our final canon stop before this turns into the AU I'll be using for my World of Light story, and probably literally every other Smash story I'll tell fron this day onwards.
