Ultimate Smash Adventure
When we last left off, the smashers had just entered a tournament at Realgem Tower. Despite Zelda's objections, Snake did point out that something suspicious could be going on there. So while six smashers entered the tournament, Snake and Ness decided to do some behind the scenes investigations. Oh and by the way, I forgot to tell you guys, Ron Host is my OC. I've used him in my last fanfic and now he's back. Well, on with the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this story except for Ron Host and the story itself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The grand tower tournament
At the top of Realgem tower was a gigantic stadium with a large audience surrounding it. The center of the pokeball in the middle of the stadium opened up and Ron Host came up from the hole riding on an elevator. "Laaaaaadiiiiiieeess and geeeeeeentlllllllmeeeeen! Are you ready for one heck of a tournament?" Ron Host asked through a microphone.
"Yeaaaaaaaah!" Came the response from the audience.
"Well you're about to get one! Today we not only have pokemon trainers, but also non-pokemon fighters who will be participating in this tournament!" Ron Host shouted. He let the audience cheer at this before continuing. "When it's a battle between Pokemon trainers, it will be a double battle between two pokemon of the trainers choice and only two so that we can move things along quickly! And if a trainer and a non-pokemon using fighter are facing each other, then the trainer is to use only one pokemon of their choice. If it looks like anyone is in no condition to fight, that match will be stopped to hopefully cut down on fatalities. So without further ado… let's get this tournament started!" Ron Host shouted as an appropriate song was playing.
"Let's get it started in Hah! Let's get started in here! Let's get started in Hah! Let's get it started in here! Let's get it started in Hah! Let's get it started in here!" The radio blared.
In the waiting room…
The waiting room had nice velvet couches, two stairs leading upward. And the balcony the stairs went up to was decorated with golden statues of the legendary dog pokemon, and the elevators in to the ring were also on the balcony. They also had a monitor installed to see the arena. Suddenly, the screen changed and showed pictures of two contestants. It was Bowser and some kung fu guy.
"Yes! I get the first match!" Bowser said.
"I will defeat you!" Said the kung fu guy really quickly.
"Oh you've got to be kidding me." Bowser said while staring at the kung fu guy embarrassingly. The two contestants got on elevators on either side of the balcony and went up to the arena. When the elevators got to the top, they opened up and allowed the contestants to step in to the coliseum.
"Alright guys, fight your hardest." Ron Host said while quickly running from the center of the ring. "Begin!"
"I will defeat you!" The kung fu guy did several front flips toward Bowser, and when he got close to Bowser, Bowser simply threw a punch and hit the kung fu guy in the face and knocked him out cold without even moving from his position.
"Sheesh, what a bag of hot air." Bowser said as he walked toward the elevator.
"And the winner is Bowser!" Ron Host said.
"Hooray?" The crowd said while thinking about how easy of a match it was.
Meanwhile…
Snake and Ness were walking around the lounging areas. The two of them went in to the diner area, it even had a jukebox. It was packed with lots of rough and tough looking customers. "Why are we here?" Ness asked.
"We're going to see if anyone has any information." Snake said. "We're going to start with the bartender since he knows the customers." Snake and Ness walked up to the bar.
"Can I help you two?" The tubby bartender asked.
"Do you happen to know why they decided to make a tournament for more than just pokemon trainers?" Ness asked.
"The current owner of Realgem Tower wanted to raise a lot of money, and this was a real attention grabber." The bartender said.
"Who is the owner of this coliseum?" Snake asked.
"I don't know who… but that guy over there…" The bartender motioned toward some guy in a leather jacket. "He used to work for the last owner."
"The way you said that last sentence kind of creeps me out… who was the last owner?" Ness asked.
"The last owner was the head of a pokemon criminal organization… I hear that they still hang around here…" The bartender whispered.
"We'll just go talk to him then." Snake said.
"Uh… Snake… can't we wait one second…" Ness asked.
"Why?" Snake asked.
"I need to use the bathroom." Ness said.
Back with the smashers…
"Now it's Marth vs. Da Knight!" Ron Host said as Marth and some guy in sixteenth century knight's armor appeared.
"Thou shalt taste defeat at thine blade." The knight said.
"I doubt it." Marth said. Marth drew his sword and quickly slashed at the knight several times.
"Thy slashes of fury hast done nothing to thine armor." Da Knight said. Marth then sheathed his sword, and the second he did, the knight's armor fell off in pieces and he was standing in a male's tank top and boxer shorts with hearts on them. "Ahhhh! I surrender!"
"Marth wins!" Ron Host said. After a few more matches. "Up next is Wes vs. Random trainer." Marth walked toward the elevator. As the elevator rose up and Wes walked out.
"You and your friends are good." Wes said. "Good luck with the tournament."
"You too." Marth said. In the waiting room, the smashers were attentively watching the monitor.
"I wonder what kind of skills this guy has." Sheik said.
"Pikachu…"
"Yoshi…"
"I can tell you." Said some random trainer. "I used to be part of a criminal organization, and that guy took us out by himself…"
"Wha?…" The smashers said and looked at the TV screen.
"I'm taking you down!" The random trainer yelled to Wes.
"I doubt it." Wes said. The two trainers threw two pokeballs each. "Espeon! Umbreon!" Wes threw out two pokemon that looked cat like and fox like. Espeon was the cat like one that had light purple form that was almost pink, a tail that split at the end, and a gem in it's forehead. The fox like one had pitch black fur and yellow rings on various spots on its body.
The other trainer threw out an ape that looked like a ball of white fur with a pig face, the other pokemon was green and white and looked like a five year old ballerina in size. "Primape! Kirlia!"
"Espeon, use psychic on Primape!" Espeon did just that and knocked Primeape out in one hit. "Umbreon, use faint attack on Kirlia." Umbreon made an attack so fast that it looked like multiple Umbreons were attacking. The attack caused Kirlia to flinch.
"No! She was supposed to use Shadow Ball!"
"Espeon, helping hand, Umbreon, Faint Attack!" Espeon used an ability that made Umbreon get stronger, and the attack knocked out Kirlia.
"And Wes wins in a landslide!" Ron Host said.
Back in the waiting room…
"Whoa, he is good." Marth said.
"Pretty good with his Pokemon." Sheik said.
"Jigglypuff."
"Oh, my match is up." Sheik said as she walked toward the elevator and passed Wes.
"Best of luck, I look forward to seeing you in the quarter-finals." Wes said. Sheik looked and indeed, according to the charts, if they both won all of their matches they would meet in the semi-finals.
Sheik now had to face some other random trainer. "I'm not going to be sad like those guys that went against your friends. Go Mantine!" This guy threw out a flying Manta Ray. "Use surf!" The Mantine created a large wave of water at Sheik. Sheik focused her magic to her feet and ran up the wall of water and avoided injury.
"How did you walk on that water?" The trainer asked.
"The same way I can do this." Sheik made a hand sign. "Water Clone Jutsu!" A bunch of clones of Sheiks made from the left over water rose up. "They're not as good as shadow clones, but much easier to make." Sheik said.
"Whoa, Sheik couldn't do this when I last saw her." Ron Host said. All of the Sheik's clones charged at the Mantine and threw senbon at it. Since they all threw such a large amount of needles, the Mantine fainted. "Well, Sheik wins!"
Meanwhile…
"Are you done yet?" Snake asked through the door.
"Yep, I'm coming out." Ness walked out of the bathroom. "Let's go."
"Alright, just let me handle this." Snake said as they walked up to the guy in the leather jacket.
"Move along, there's nothing to see here." The leather jacket guy said.
"I believe you have something we want." Snake said.
"And what would that be?" The guy asked.
"Your boss used to run this place right?" Snake asked.
"Yeah so?"
"He's still connected to the current owner isn't he?" Snake asked. The jukebox then screeched to a halt and a lot of guys turned around and stared at Snake.
"Uh… Snake…" Ness started to say.
"What if he is?" The guy asked.
"We need to see him." Snake said.
"No one, gets in to see the boss' associate, especially not strangers like you." The guy said. All of the tough guys that were looking at Snake and Ness started to crack their knuckles and all of the patrons, including the bartender, ducked out.
"Wait a minute!" Shouted some guy. He ran over to the jukebox and put in a quarter and the jukebox started playing music appropriate for a bar fight. Some guy threw a punch at Snake and he simply flipped him on his back and dodged another punch.
"PSI offense up!" Ness glowed for a minute and took out his bat and beat one guy over the head, he dodged out of the way of a chair and countered that guy. Basically, Snake and Ness were clearing out the diner.
Back up to the top…
"Go Hitmonlee!"
"Yoshi!" Yoshi got in to a fight with a Hitmonlee and it was a trade-off of kicks between the two of them. Yoshi then swallowed Hitmonlee encased him in an egg. He then threw Hitmonlee against a wall, where Yoshi repeatedly kicked the snot out of Hitmonlee. "Yoshi!"
"And Yoshi wins!" Ron Host announced. After a few matches, it was Pikachu's turn. "Now a match between some trainer, and the independent Pikachu!"
"Ha! Go Swinub!" A little ball of brown fur with squinty eyes and a pig nose.
"Awww… it's cute…" Sheik said.
"So?" Bowser said.
"Guys…" Sheik said while shaking her head.
"Swinub! Dig!" Swinub dug underground.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu ran around really quickly and avoided Swinub when it popped back up to attack. "Pikachu!" Pikachu then tackled it and body slammed it.
"The Pikachu wins!" Ron Host shouted.
"No way! Swinub has a ground element, there's no way it should have lost…" The trainer whined.
Meanwhile…
"Alright, now you going to talk?" Snake asked while holding the leather jacket guy by the collar of his jacket. The jacket guy now had a black eye and a missing tooth.
"Alright, the only way to see the owner of this coliseum is by an elevator at one side of the arena. But only contestants are allowed on the arena and only during their matches."
"Thanks for the info." Snake said, he then knocked the guy out cold.
"Did you have to do that?" Ness asked.
"Yes, he would have contacted someone and let them know that we're on our way." Snake said as he bound up the guy and shoved him in a closet. "Now let's go, we need to talk to the others." Snake said.
"Oh… you're saying that we get them to help us get in right?" Ness asked.
"Exactly." Snake said.
Back with the coliseum again…
"Jigglypuff has defeated big buff guy!" There was a really freakin' huge guy all bruised up with slap marks on his face.
"Jigglypuff!"
"Next up is Bon Clay vs. Random trainer." Ron Host introduced.
"Hey, isn't he…?" Bowser asked while pointing at one of the pictures.
"Yeah, he is." Marth said. They then noticed that Mr. 2 was sitting on a couch several feet across the room.
"Well well, if it isn't my friends." Bon Clay said. "I'm glad we had another chance to meet, but I can't stay and talk, I've got a fight to go to." Bon Clay said.
"Pika…" He said sadly.
"You didn't honestly want him to hand around us did you?" Marth asked.
"I can't believe that freak is fighting." Bowser said. "He can't be that strong."
In the arena, Mr. 2 stood at one side while the trainer stood at the other side, clearly disgruntled by his opponent's weird outfit.
"You're going down you gay!" The trainer shouted. "Go! Hariyama!" The trainer threw out a large sumo-wrestling type pokemon. Hariyama charged at Mr. 2 and threw his palms forward. Mr. 2 spun out of the way and began dodging multiple palm thrusts in rhythm.
"En, deux, trois. En, deux, trois, en, deux, trois." Mr. 2 said while dodging the palm thrusts in that rhythm. "En, deux, trois!" Mr. 2 then landed a kick on the strike of trois on Hariyama's stomach and sent him flying.
"And Bon Clay wins!" Ron Host shouted.
In the waiting room…
"Whoa… he's tougher than he looks." Marth said.
"I wouldn't have guessed that from that costumed freak." Bowser said.
"Pika?" Pikachu's ears perked up and he ran for the door.
"Jigglypuff?"
"Where's he going?" Sheik asked. Pikachu then returned and whispered to everyone.
"Yoshi…"
"So Snake needs one of us to create a distraction in the ring so that they can get to that elevator?" Bowser asked.
"I can do it, I've been trying out this jutsu, but… I don't know if I can do it yet." Sheik said.
"Well, it's our
best chance." Marth said.
"Yoshi." He nodded.
Snake and Ness decided to watch the tournament and wait for their time to act. "Soda?" Ness offered.
"I'm good." Snake said taking a sip of his own soda.
Bowser easily bested his next match, and Marth beat his next match easily as well. After a while, Sheik was next. She was once again up against a random trainer.
"Swellow!" A large black and red and white swallow appeared from the trainer's pokeball.
"Here goes Snake…" Sheik said. She raised one arm over her head and made a hand sign in front of her face. "Hidden Mist Jutsu!" An incredibly thick mist suddenly swept over the coliseum. "Hey I did it, but now I can't see." Sheik said.
"Now's our chance." Snake whispered to Ness.
"I memorized a way to the elevator, hold on to me." Ness whispered to Snake. The two made their way to the elevator carefully until they made it there. Snake looked closely at the number lock, he dismantled it quickly and messed with a few wires and quickly it put back together.
"Let's go in now." Snake said.
Back with the fight, Sheik had to really concentrate to see through the fog. "There it is!" Sheik leaped and beat Swellow to a pulp. "Last time I'm using that jutsu." Sheik said.
"And Sheik apparently wins, even though I didn't see it." Ron Host said.
Snake and Ness took the elevator until they got to the top. The minute they walked in to the hallway a net fell on top of them. "What the…?"
"A trap?" Ness asked.
"So, you two are smashers? I wouldn't expect a kid to be one." Crocodile said as he walked down the hallway.
"Crocodile, former member of the seven warlords of the sea, and a member of the seven deadly fates." Snake said.
"Well, someone has done their homework. But your information is a little bit out of date." Crocodile said. "Soon, Kefka will be taking orders from me." Snake said.
"What?" The two of them asked.
"I'm not going to tell you just now, but why don't you enjoy the show?" Crocodile said.
"Show?" Ness asked.
"This is my tournament that I'm using to get money for my plans, and since you came all the way here, you might as well get the best seat in the house to enjoy the show." Crocodile said. He turned around and began to walk down the hallway. Snake then pulled out a rifle and fired at Crocodile, the bullet left a hole in his shoulder that was leaking sand.
"What?" Snake yelled.
"Oh yes, and attacking me won't work, I have the powers of the Sand-sand fruit." Crocodile said.
"A cursed fruit!" Ness said.
"Now then, let's go grab a seat." Crocodile said as a Machamp picked up the two smashers and threw them in a cage that was in a room with a one way window overlooking the coliseum. "Enjoy the show, and after that… heh, heh, heh."
"I don't like how he laughed." Ness said.
