Yoshi and Sluggy were both swimming through the red, hot bubbling sea of molten magma, getting closer to the fifth and last volcano of the Lethal Lava Volcano territory. Yoshi hopped off of Sluggy, and turned to him, telling his Slugma friend that he'll go up ahead.
Sluggy nodded, a tear coming down from his right eye. "You be careful up there, Yoshi. I don't want anything bad to happen to you."
Yoshi grinned with confidence, patting Sluggy on the head. "There there, Sluggy. I'll be fine." He winked. "I'll be sure to come back and visit you after I rescue my best friend." With that said, the green Yoshisaurus turned around and ran into the volcano's entrance.
Sluggy called out goodbye, but he stayed at his spot instead of heading back, determined to not let his friend down.
Yoshi ran through the entrance of the volcano, and he looked around in awe, the magma pouring down through several holes within the volcano. Yoshi glanced at the red, magma-hardened path in front of him. He knew that he would have to get through the volcano in order to continue his ever long quest, and thus, Yoshi ran down the path, turning to the left and jumping into the air, grabbing the edge of the platform above. Yoshi then got onto the wall and slowly walked on the thin platform, looking down below him to see the red, hot magma slowly pouring down below. Yoshi then jumped into the air and grabbed a pole carved within the magma with his long red tongue, grabbing hold of the pole with his hands. Yoshi then looked to his left to see another platform, and he jumped to it, fluttering to make contact. Yoshi got up and he turned to his right to see lava pouring down from the top. Yoshi glanced to his left to see a yellow colored, orange-stripped shaft going upwards and downwards. Waiting for the shaft to comedown, Yoshi grabbed the ledge with his tongue and climbed on, looking upwards.
The shaft then shook, and it started to slowly move upwards. Yoshi then got off the shaft after it hit a point above, and he felt his legs being burned. Much to his shock, Yoshi looked down to see lava moving. Yoshi then glanced upwards to see the path swerving to the left and right. Gulping, Yoshi turned into his egg shield and started rolling through the hot, moving lava, swerving to the left and right along the path. Yoshi then bumped into the hard volcano wall, and he shook his head, looking to his right to see an exit. Yoshi exited the volcano through the exit, and he looked down, to see that he was twenty eight feet above the sea of magma below. He then turned to his right to see the platform heading towards the right. Yoshi took this chance, and he ran up the right path, straying close to the volcano. He then gasped as he was confronted by a Magmar.
Knowing what happened to him the last time, Yoshi hopped into his egg shield, grabbing the blue orb from his small red pad within the shield. The Magmar bellowed and fired a powerful steam of heat at Yoshi, burning the egg. Yoshi, however, felt none of the burn, as he transformed into Fire Yoshi and emerged from the egg, which cracked into tiny pieces. Yoshi got into a fighting stance, and he taunted the Magmar. The Magmar fumed and it launched a Fire Punch at Yoshi, pinning him down. The red, flaming Yoshisaurus got back up to his feet,and he started to flutter kick against the Magmar, each kick providing a fiery burn. The Magmar then grabbed Yoshi's legs and started to swing him around, tossing him onto the platform, and burning him with a red-and-orange Flamethrower attack. Yoshi got onto his front side and retaliated with his own red-and-yellow Flamethrower attack. The two different-colored Flamethrower attacks crossed with each other, each of the fiery attacks burning the opponent. It was then that Yoshi got into his egg shield and rolled around the Magmar, pinning into the fiery reptilian Pokemon. The Magmar moaned, and it launched another Fire Punch at Yoshi, but Yoshi grabbed its fist with his long red tongue, and swung the Magmar into the volcano. The Magmar screamed in agony, and it was then knocked unconscious by the swing of Yoshi's flamed tail.
Yoshi looked at the Magmar, and grinned. He pushed the unconscious fire-type Pokemon to the side and entered into the volcano. Yoshi headed to the left and jumped up, climbing aboard the platform above him. He turned around to face the other platform, and jumped up again. Yoshi then started to run down the platform, turning to the right as he reached higher within the active volcano. Yoshi then got caught by a fiery yellow-and-orange hand, which crushed and burned Yoshi. Yoshi struggled, and he then bit into the fiery hand, which released him and allowed the red Yoshisaurus to continue running up the platform.
