Yoshizilla: Well, I said I would update Yoshi's First Adventure regularly (I don't think Is aid that at all, but oh well), and I'm updating it now, so for those who don't even read fanfics at all (and trust me, like a BAJILLION people out there are too stupid enough not to even notice the story's existance at all), I don't give crap if you skim through this or even read or review it, but you're gonna enjoy it, darn it, and I don't care if it's a great review, a complimentary review, a criticsm review, or even a stupid flame. I'm just updating my perfect, first story, so deal with it, because it's here, and it will be forever. So there. Hope you "skimmers" don't go too fast, because I'm not sure if the word count is even 1,000 words (which seems to be the perfect standard for most chapters, because most stories under 1,000 words fail, like some of my eralier chapters). And now, the following chapter of Yoshi's First Adventure, with Dr. Hoshi mentoring Yoshi on how our green yoshisaurus hero can survive and get through the treacherous Ankylosaurus Desert. take it away, Disclaimer.

It was the middle of the dawn, and the sun started to rise in the gusty, desert winds. We can see two shadows on two dinosaurs walking in the soft, sand - Yoshi and Dr. Hoshi. Dr. Hoshi is currentely training Yoshi to be the best he can be in order to make it through the hazardrous Ankylosaurus Desert.

"Yoshi, your adventure is tough, but that doesn't mean you should give up." Dr. Hoshi tells Yoshi as he rides on top of him, "You will have to get used to these terrible winds in order to make it out.

Yoshi nodded, and he started to walk faster, listening to Dr. Hoshi very carefully. He was wincing his eyes the entire time, which was a pretty smart move - the wind was blowing sand into his face, mostly hitting his nose.

A few minutes later, both Yoshi and Dr. Hoshi were waiting under a tropical tree. The wind continued blowing, albiet it was getting weaker as the sun slowly rose into the sky.

Dr. Hoshi looked up at the tropical tree, and tapped Yoshi on the shoulder. "Yoshi, go to the top of this tree, and look in all of the directions."

Yoshi nodded, and he climbed up the tropical tree. Looking counter-clockwise, Yoshi spotted a star on top of a green cactus in the western direction. He pointed to the western direction and shouted, "Doc, I found a star! It's on the cactus!"

Dr. Hoshi nodded. "Then let us go and get it, then!" He suggested, as he waited for Yoshi to jump back down to the ground (which Yoshi did), and he jumped on Yoshi's back, hanging on as Yoshi started running to the western direction, not affected by the blowing wind.

Upon running into the western direction, several skeleton Koopas (Dry Bones) popped up, but they were easilt stepped on by Yoshi, and reverted back to bones. Yoshi and Dr. Hoshi reached the star that was sitting on the cactus after knocking down the 7th Dry Bones.

"What should I do?" Yoshi asked Dr. Hoshi, allowing his mentor to get off his back and started looking at the cactus with curiosity.

Dr. Hoshi rubbed his chin. "Hmmm...well, I would say that you should give it a few blasts from your Yoshi Eggs. Then it'll be too weak enough to hurt you with its needles."

Yoshi snapped his fingers. "Piece of cake!" He grabbed several small, green-spotted Yoshi Eggs and started throwing them at the cactus. The cactus got weaker after every hit, and by the time Yoshi threw the 5th Yoshi Egg, it was already weakened enough to drop its needles and split, allowing the star to be easily obtained while it floated in mid-air.

Yoshi smiled, slowly walking to the star, and just whyen he was about to grab it...FROOSH!! "HUH!?"

Dr. Hoshi's jaw dropped. "Wha!?" He said, shocked and surprised to see the star swiftly grabbed.

The star appeared behind the two Yoshisauruses, and was held by a shadowy figure. The shadowy figure chuckled and shook his head. "Thanks for weakening the cactus for me, boys, but this star's going to belong to me," He said.

Yoshi and Dr. Hoshi both turned around, to see the shadowy figure. "Who are you!?" They both shouted angrily in unison, demanding to know who was the shadowy figure.

The shadowy figure smirked. "Funny you ask...very well! I'll reveal my identify!" He threw off the cloak, and was revealed to be a red-shelled Primi Koopa, without the bone in his hand. He laughed and held up the star high in his right hand. "Hook, like, and stinker like they always say. HA!" He said, pushing Yoshi and Dr. Hoshi aside, "Ladies, it's been a pleasure meeting you, but I gotta run. Buh-bye!" And with that, the Primi Koopa ran off into the norhtern direction, holding the star tightly.

Yoshi fumed with anger. "Grrr...who does he think he is!?" He started stomping his feet into the soft sand, "We got the star first, fair and square, and then HE shows up just as we're about to get it!"

"Calm yourself down, Yoshi." Dr. Hoshi said in a calm tone to Yoshi, trying to calm his best friend down. He was angry, too, but have a much better calm temper than Yoshi. "We can catch up to him. All we have to do is go after him in the northern direction."

Yoshi looked at his feet, growling and still mad. "Well...I hope you're right, doctor." He shook his fists. "That...that Primi Koopa won't get away with this!" He turned to the northern direction, and started running as fast as he could to catch up to the Primi Koopa.

Dr. Hoshi sighed and shook his head. "Always want to go off so quickly. I wish he would stop to take a breather and think for a while..." He muttered to himself, running after Yoshi through the gusty, wind-blowing desert.
