Chapter 12
Smashers vs. Smash Pros

"Master!" gasped Katsura and Kochou when they saw their master was brought to his knees by I Am. Jim was a strong fighter, yet with all his power, he was unable to put up a fight against I Am.

Jim was badly injured and breathing heavily as he glared at I Am, who said, "You are weak, more so than I remember. What did you think you could do against me with a power like that?"

"I hate to admit it, but I am indeed not a match for you," Jim said to him. "As for what I hoped to accomplish by fighting you with my current power… It was to buy time for them to get here!"

I Am and those who heard him were wondering what he was talking about, and they heard some people shouting about something approaching the island from the sky. The looked and saw the Final Destination arriving.

"What is that?!"

"Is that a UFO?!"

"I think I know what this is!"

The Final Destination flew close to the coast of the island before stopping and then lowering close to the ground. The Smashers on the surface then jumped down and onto the island, looking ready to fight. Ken, Ryu, and Incineroar were there as well.

"It's the Smashers!" some of the people on the island pointed out.

Looking at the Smashers, Jim said to I Am, "I told them beforehand that I would be coming after you first to buy them time in case they cannot make it here in time, and they managed to make it here before you accomplished your job!"

"They are only wasting their time by coming here," said I Am. "No matter what they do, they will not be able to prevail against me."

All of a sudden, Master Hand shot through the air and towards I Am. "I AM!" he shouted in rage. Folding himself into a fist, he tried to ram into I Am. The latter didn't run but instead got into a defensive stance and successfully blocked the giant hand's punching attack, though he still slid back a few feet.

Master Hand then pulled back and said to him, "We're going to stop you here! You won't succeed!"

"How foolish of you to think that you can stop me," I Am said to him. "You shouldn't try to stop me either, for the world cries out to me to restore peace and order. You are denying the people of this world peace if you try to stop me."

"Words will not work on a delusional person with a god complex like you! I shall use violence to bring sense to you!" Master Hand said to him.

"Do you assume me to be as lowly as something as a god?" said I Am, sounding offended. "I am above the gods! They are nothing but dirt that I brush off my feet!"

Meanwhile, the Smashers watched the battle that went on between the soldiers and the Smash Pros, though most of them had stopped fighting to look at the Smashers. "Well, you guys know what to do," said Captain Falcon while cracking his fist.

"Right, time to smash some Pros!" said Ganondorf, also cracking his fist.

"I'm going after that guy who beat me up back in Onett! Nobody get in my way!" said Wario when he noticed Lou standing in the distance. He then ran in his direction and shouted out loud, "Hey you! Mustachioed jerk! I'm going to get you this time!"

Lou heard and saw Wario, and the former said with an unimpressed look, "Fool! You should know your place. Did I not make myself clear the first time?" After saying that, he made a sliding motion in Wario's direction at fast speed and got to Wario in no time. He attempted to jab Wario in the head with his hand. Wario delivered a headbutt at the same time, and managed to block the attack with his forehead.

"You're not beating me the second time!" said Wario as he endured and tanked the attack. "This time, I win!" He tried to punch Lou, but the latter caught his fist with ease and then spun him in circles a few times before flinging him away, and then he went after him.

"Let's go and find ourselves someone to fight! Help out those soldiers!" Marth told the other Smashers, and they all cried in agreement in unison before rushing deeper into the island.

Yoshi, Lucario, and Greninja ran close to each other. Lucario and Greninja suddenly sensed someone approaching them at a fast speed. They rolled to the side in time, but Yoshi never saw what was coming and was hit by a brown blur that sped into him and knocked to the side. It was Mark the Hedgehog.

"What on earth was that?!" said Yoshi as he sat up while rubbing his head.

"I'm Mark the Hedgehog, your maker!" Mark said to him. He tried to run into Yoshi again, only to be smacked in the face by a bone made of blue aura created by Lucario and sent flying back.

Lucario ran towards Mark to continue fighting him. Yoshi rooted for the aura Pokemon to do his best, only to be surprised by a gray blur running in circles around them. "Now what?!" said Yoshi.

The gray blur rammed into Yoshi and knocked him away. It was Scar the Hedgehog. Greninja saw this and was going to attack Scar when suddenly a yellow blur rammed into him, knocking him away as well. Greninja was able to land on his feet and saw that it was Thunder the Hedgehog.

Meanwhile, Scar ran towards Yoshi, who was getting back up, and rammed into him in the form of a ball, knocking him away again. Yoshi was able to get back up properly after that, despite getting hit hard. He glared at the gray hedgehog that had a scar running down his eye and said, "You wanna pick a fight with me? Bring it on, then!"

"You have no idea who you are dealing with. I shall tear you into pieces and feed your flesh to the birds of the air, the beasts of the ground, and the fish of the sea!" Scar said to him in a deep, intimidating voice.

Yoshi narrowed his eyes, looking unimpressed. "I can already tell you're one of those edgy guys…"

BGM: Battle! – Trainer Battle, Pokemon X/Y (Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS)

Mark sped around Lucario, attacking him with a hit-and-run tactic. Lucario was no slouch in reaction time thanks to observation haki and was able to block or dodge his attacks in time.

When Mark attempted to charge into him again, Lucario, with precise timing, swung his aura bone into his face and knocked him into the air as if hitting a baseball bat. The hedgehog curled into a ball when he landed for protection and then got back on his foot. "You're good, but don't so full of yourself just because of that!" Mark said to him.

The hedgehog then jumped into the air while curled up. He went above Lucario and dropped down like an anvil. The Pokemon jumped out of the way, but the shockwave created from Mark's landing blew him back a bit of a distance.

Lucario only came to a skidding stop for a second when Mark launched himself like a cannonball at him, hitting him hard in the face and knocking him back even farther. Mark uncurled as he landed before towards Lucario and then in circles around him. Lucario looked around, trying his best to remain calm, while forming blue aura around his hands.

When Mark dashed at him, Lucario responded fast and thrust his hand in his direction, hitting him square in the face. Mark was blown back and tumbled violently against the ground for a while before coming to a stop. Lucario used Aura Sphere against him afterwards, but he got out of the way fast and ran towards the Pokemon to ram into him. Lucario dodged him this time and even reached out his hand to Mark's arm in time to grab it, much to the hedgehog's surprise.

Lucario spun him around a few times before hurling him towards an upright rock. Before Mark could recover, Lucario rushed towards him with his hands covered in aura and then attacked him with arm thrusts nonstop. "Close Combat!"

POW SMASH BANG POW SMASH!

Mark was struck rapidly and violently for several seconds, and the rock behind him received quite a beating as well until it eventually shattered. Mark was sent flying back and eventually hit the ground with bruises all over his body and even broken teeth.

Thunder ran in circles around Greninja nonstop, all the while generating electricity and thus leaving behind a trail of said element.

"You're water type if I remember correctly," said Thunder. "That means you are weak to my electricity! Bad luck for you! I'll short circuit you in a matter of seconds!"

The frog Pokemon focused the best he could on the hedgehog that ran in circles around him. The hedgehog continued to run in circles around him, but the Pokemon was not nervous at all.

Quick as a flash, Greninja stomped the ground, causing a wall of water to be created. It was in that instant Thunder zoomed into Greninja, only to crash into the water wall as if it was made of solid rock. The hedgehog came to an abrupt stop from hitting it and then fell on his back, feeling pain in the front of his body.

Greninja created water swords just the hedgehog jumped back up. "What's with that reaction time?! It's as if you knew I was going to run into you!" said Thunder in surprise. The Pokemon simply nodded, as if saying that he did indeed foresee his action. It was due to his training in observation haki that he foresaw this. "Either way, the same trick won't work on me!"

Charging up electricity all over his body, Thunder attacked Greninja with incredibly fast punches and kicks. Though Greninja has fast reaction time, enough to block some of the attacks, he was ultimately overwhelmed by how fast Thunder was moving and thus received some beating.

After holding up for a while, Greninja was eventually knocked back onto the ground. Thunder stopped to laugh at him. "Haha! Look who's a tough guy now! I'm going to give you the shock of your life, so much that your heart will stop!"

Greninja got back up and threw some spikes in his direction. Thunder stepped back to avoid them and watched the spikes fall onto the ground. "You think you can stop me in my tracks with these? Don't make me laugh!" he said. "You should at least scatter them on all your sides and not only the front, because I can do this!"

Thunder ran around the spikes and to Greninja. He grabbed the Pokemon's arm and grinned evilly before releasing electricity all over himself to shock the Pokemon. To his surprise, Greninja did not get electrocuted at all and wasn't in any form of pain.

"What?! How come you aren't getting shocked?!" said the hedgehog in shock.

Greninja suddenly disappeared in a puff of smoke and left behind a greenish dinosaur-like doll, which surprised Thunder even more. The Pokemon reappeared behind Thunder in a puff of smoke and slashed him in the back with a water sword. The hedgehog screamed and flew forward.

The latter slowly got back up in pain with a bleeding back and turned around to look at Greninja in shock and anger, also still confused why the electricity didn't hurt him at all.

This Greninja actually has Protean as his ability, which allows him to change his type depending on the move he used. He used Spikes earlier, and because it is a ground type move, his typing changed from his usual water type into ground type, thus making him immune to electricity.

"I don't care how you did that! You're not going to survive that the second time, I assure you!" said Thunder angrily as electricity built up around his body again.

Greninja once again threw spikes at him, and the hedgehog sped out of the way before running at him in an instant. He grabbed the Pokemon and once again tried to shock him, but as Greninja previously used Spikes again, it did not work.

Producing water swords in his hands, Greninja slashed Thunder in the body over and over multiple times, leaving behind trails of darkness as the blades sliced through the air. It was Night Slash.

SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH!

Thunder screamed in pain as blood flew out of the multiple gashes on his body, and then he fell on his back and passed out.

Scar charged into Yoshi hard, knocking him onto to the ground. The dinosaur got back up as if he never got hit and ran towards the gray hedgehog to hit him with a charging headbutt, only to miss, as Scar easily ran out of the way.

Scar then grabbed Yoshi's neck and pushed the dinosaur into a tall rock, pinning him against it. Taking out a knife out of seemingly nowhere, the hedgehog said to him, "Any last words before I cut you up?"

"Yoshi!" said Yoshi before sticking out his tongue and hitting Scar in the nose. Even though it was just a tongue, it somehow hit him hard enough to make him drop the dinosaur and take steps back in pain. Yoshi then slammed his head into Scar hard, knocking him back.

The knife flew out of Scar's hand and fell back down, stabbing him in the right knee. Scar cried in pain as he placed his hands around the right knee and the knife.

Yoshi walked up to the hedgehog while the latter was still crying in pain. "That's got to hurt," said the former, "but…" He then swung smacked him hard in the head with his tail, knocking him away. Scar landed his head on a rock and passed out from the impact, and the knife was still stuck in his knee. "…that's all the better for me!"

Seeing that Scar was out of commission, Yoshi said, "That was easy. Honestly, I expected something more from you!"

Suddenly, the ground shook, accompanied by a loud crash. Yoshi turned around to see Plonic the Hedgehog standing there. "I shall give you the challenge you so desire," he said to Yoshi.

Yoshi observed him from head to toe said, "Geez… Go on a diet, would ya?"

"This fat is all the better to destroy you with!" said Plonic before jumping towards Yoshi. Despite his morbidly obese body, Plonic was able to jump to such an incredible height.

Yoshi ran away to avoid getting crush by him, and he fell to the ground when the fat guy landed with a powerful force.

Plonic was going to jump at Yoshi again while the latter was trying to stand back up, only to be rammed in the side by Charizard. The Pokemon was able to hit him with enough strength to make him slid away a few feet, but Plonic remained standing. "You dare challenge me?!" Plonic said to him.

Charizard roared as if saying yes to him, and then he breathed fire at the fat guy. Plonic leaped into the air to avoid the attack and fell towards Charizard, who moved out of the way. Charizard then gave him a fiery punch to the face, hitting him so hard that he almost lost balance and fell over.

Plonic gritted his teeth in anger before attempting to punch Charizard, but the latter easily dodged it before punching him with fiery punches over and over in the face and body.

Charizard then shot a large fireball from his mouth that exploded on impact against Plonic, blowing him back. Despite all this, the fat guy was able to remain on his feet, though he was injured and charred from those attacks. "Why you?!" he angrily said to Charizard. "I'LL KILL YOU!"

Plonic then fell forward while curling up as much as he could. As a result, he rolled forward like a boulder. Charizard easily avoided it by flying away. He landed elsewhere, and to his surprise, the rolling Plonic went in his direction as if he was able to see while in that state.

Charizard shot bursts of fire at him, hoping to stop him. However, the projectiles were nullified when they hit Plonic. Charizard got out of the way again when he was almost getting hit by Plonic.

Plonic continued rolling and once again tried to roll into Charizard. The Pokemon decided to charge straight into him with his body on a fire using the move Flare Blitz. Both sides collided with each other, creating a fiery shockwave that caused them to bounce off in opposite directions.

CRAAAASH!

Plonic uncurled and fell flat on his back with a powerful thud, while Charizard fell on his front, looking injured from using that move. Plonic slowly sat back up, looking dazed, and he shook his head before glaring at Charizard. "It's not over yet! I can still…" He was interrupted when Yoshi fell onto his head hard, slamming onto him with his rear end.

SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!

The dinosaur jumped off him afterwards, and then Plonic fell on his back again, this time down for good.

BGM Ends

After making sure that Plonic was down for good, Yoshi went up to Charizard in concern and asked him, "Are you all right?" The latter growled in a way that implied he was still in a good condition.
