Author's Notes: Yes, I'm back to fanfiction Net after a somewhat short hiatus, and today, I'm updating Yoshi's First Adventure nonstop, followed by my first chronicle-based story in my Super Smash Brothers timeline, "Master Hand and the Council of the Hands". I hope you will enjoy the following chapters that follow, and I have done them altogether, so that I would be able to focus better. Anyway, that's all I have to say, and do not expect anymore author notes from me from this point on.

Disclaimer: Yoshi, King Morton Senior Koopa, Kamek, Magikoopas, Toadies, and all other Nintendo characters belong to Nintendo. Peppy Ankylosaurus, Dr. Hoshi Primi Koopas, Primi Goombas, the mighty Tyrannoyoshi Rex, and all other fan-made characters in this story belong to Yoshizilla respectfully.


Yoshi woke up. He shook his head and looked around the insides of the aquatic reptilian that has swallowed him up. He gasped. "Am...am I inside for sure?" He looked at his hands. "Am I still alive?"

"Hey, green Yoshisaurus," The aquatic reptilian loudly boomed, the voice echoing through the stomach, "I have a problem recently, and it's inside my stomach, where you are."

Yoshi got up to his feet, rubbing his chin. "Go on..." He said, being cautious.

The aquatic reptilian's voice continued, "You see, there are these insect parasites biting at my innards, so I need you to take care of them. If you manage to clear out all fifteen of the insect parasites, I'll gladly spit you back out and give you a star as your thanks."

Yoshi smiled. "That sounds like a deal to me!" He said, his eyes gleaming.

"Then prepare yourself, green Yoshisaurus," The voice warned, "Here they come now!"

The fifteen insect parasites - red, spider-like creatures with shelled-backs - appeared out of a small, cavern-like hole and all scuttered towards Yoshi. Yoshi got into a fighting stance, but he was immediately tied up by the insects' web shot. Yoshi struggled, but he fell back down. One of the insect parasites got on top of Yoshi and started piercing his face - this angered Yoshi, and he swallowed up the insect parasite, spitting it out at the other insect parasites. Yoshi then managed to break out, but the insect parasites started piercing his legs. Yoshi gritted his teeth, and he then jumped in the air, shaking loose the insect parasites. He then started doing his flutter kicks down on them, knocking out five of the insect parasites. Yoshi then used his tongue to grab another and swallowed it up, before spitting it out at two more insect parasites. Yoshi then took out several Yoshi Eggs and threw them at the remaining insect parasites. Within a few minutes later, Yoshi has defeated all of the insect parasites.

The aquatic reptilian's voice bursted into laughter of joy, cheering Yoshi on. "Splendid! Purely splendid! You managed to kill all of the insect parasites, and not let any of them get away! Here is the star that I promised you..."

A bright, yellow star then fell from a hole at the top of the stomach, and landed softly on the ground, next to Yoshi.

Yoshi smiled, and he grabbed the star. After placing it inside his red pad on his back, Yoshi looked up. "All right, I'm ready to be sent back out."

"Then hold on tight and don't crash," The voice instructed, as Yoshi started to be sucked up towards the mouth and was spat out, right back into the cavern that he was eaten.

Yoshi turned to face the aquatic reptilian. He bowed down. "Thank you for permitting me that star, and for sending me back here."

The aquatic reptilian nodded. "Don't mention it. Now, I suggest that you go meet up with my grandson..." He slowly went back underwater. "Good luck on your journey..." Several minutes later would pass before the aquatic reptilian completely disappeared underwater.

Yoshi blinked, surprised. "Grandson?" He said in shock, "That means...this guy and Elamo are related..." He shook his head in disbelief. "I can't believe it! I just got swallowed up by Elamo's granfather!" He laughed, before turning serious. "But jokes will have to wait. I HAVE to rescue Peppy and save Dinosaur Land!" He ran out of the small cavern and proceeded through the maze.

Along through the maze as he trekked, Yoshi had remembered memories of himself, Peppy, and his best friend and mentor, Dr. Hoshi. Calm and wise as he was, the purple Yoshisaurus knew how to defend himself and save others. Yoshi kept these thoughts to himself whether or not he'd see Dr. Hoshi again, but alas, he continued on, determined to get out of the maze. With luck, he finally reached the exit.

"Yoshi! You made it at last!" Elamo congratulated, the Elamosaurus padding over to Yoshi, "I thought you'd never reach here!'

Yoshi laughed, rubbing the back of his head. "Thanks. Though I am curious..." He raised his left eye at Elamo, "You didn't tell me the huge aquatic reptilian in one of those caverns was your grandfather!"

Elamo gasped, and he then chuckled nervously. "Oh yeah...hehe. Well, he likes living by himself, and in secret, too." He patted Yoshi on the back. "So, now that you have reached the exit, where are you going now?"

Yoshi grinned, and he looked at the desert ahead of him. "I'm going to go through the Ankylosaurus Desert, to make it to Ankylosaurus Land!" He started running off, and waved goodbye to Elamo. "It was nice meeting you, Elamo!"

Elamo waved back, also smiling. "It was nice seeing you too, Yoshi! Good luck!" And with that, seeing Yoshi disappear into the gusting winds of the Ankylosaurus Desert, Elamo turned around and padded back into the cavern opening of the Underwater Cave.
