Chapter 5: Gotta Catch em' All!
"From the outskirts of a pathway leading to some Ruins, our two heroes, Lucas and Red, are watching a Charizard fly into the cave. After their run in with Wario, the two boys decide to team up with each other."
"Who's that?" asked Lucas, wondering where the mysterious voice came from.
"Well," said Red, "This is The Announcer who narrates my adventures."
"As in the one we heard from the Mid-Air Stadium?" said Lucas.
"Something similar to that." said Red. Red pulls out a card showing a Charizard and an Ivysaur.
"What are they?" asked Lucas.
"These things are Pokémon," explained Red, "Mystical beings that live in forests or lakes or caves or-"
"I think they get the point." said Lucas.
"Who?" asked Red.
"The readers of this FanFiction." said Lucas.
"What's a FanFiction?" asked Red.
"Let's go on, shall we." said Lucas. So the boys followed the entrance where the Charizard went. In there, they saw two pathways.
"Okay," said Red, "Do you know where the Charizard is?" Lucas becomes surprised by Red's stupidity of a really obvious sign of a Charizard where it's labeled carefully in 'The Big Book of Pokemon'.
"Uh Red," said Lucas, "Isn't it in the path filled with fire ma-" he became interrupted by a flying blue arrow out of nowhere in which it highlighted the path.
"Sí, ahí está la ruta de acceso al Charizard." said Red as if nothing happened.
"I thought you spoke in English!" exclaimed Lucas.
"Oh sorry, I take way TOO many lessons from Dora the Explorer"said Red.
"It's okay my friend." said Lucas. They walked to a fiery, lava pit.
"Oh no!" exclaimed Red. "It's way too hot to cross it. I know what to do. We have to call-"
"Go, Go PK Freeze!" yelled Lucas. The room temperature became slightly cooler and the lava cooled down to only make lava bubbles.
"As you were saying, Diego Remeriaz." Lucas said. Red sent out his Squirtle to make an obsidian bridge. The two boys walked slowly across the bridge when -CRACK- a piece of the bridge broke apart. Soon, another fell.
"Holy Starmies!" said Red. "It's going to crack up!" They started running for their lives until they reached a solid platform. Then, a big boulder came behind them.
"Oh NO! Not an Indiana Jones Reference!" yelled Lucas. They ran and ran until they reached an exit where Red almost left his hat behind and the temple closed.
"Could someone explain what's up with all the References!" said a voice from the outside.
"Wario!" the two Smashers exclaimed.
"It's a long time since I met you Red." said Wario.
"What happened?" asked Lucas.
"It's a LONG story." said Red. Lucas turned to Wario.
"Look bub," said Lucas in a gangster voice, "I'm here to get my money so that I can go Thrift Shopping."
"Oh, is that what you want, kid?" asked Wario.
"I also want REVENGE!" yelled Lucas. Red started singing a song.
So we back in the mine, got our pick axe swinging from side to side,

And as our hero, Lucas owned Wario while Red was singing this song, no one noticed an Ivysaur slip into the temple as well. Lucas looked around but he didn't see Ness.
"Wait," said Lucas with concern, "Where's Ness?"
"Maybe he's inside the tunnels." said Red. This didn't cheer up Lucas at all.
"Through the dark, long, cave?" squeaked Lucas.
"Well," said Red, "considering the fact that you survived a lava pit, ran from a bolder, and owned a bad guy, I think that Ness will be happy to see you in state that you are in now and say, 'May the Psi Power be with you' and no he probably isn't here."
"Okay," said Lucas, after getting a prompt speech from Red, "Let's go and do you mind if I bring my Diamond Sword and Pick?"
"Sorry," said Red, "But that game wasn't invented until the future."
"Then why did you sing that song?" asked Lucas.
"It was for the fun of it and besides it's not like I have a Diamond Shovel in my Backpack or anything like that." said Red nervously as if Yellow was asking him out.
"Okay, then." said Lucas as he walked slowly to the cave.
Elsewhere in the world, King Dedede retreated back to his cave with his new-found collection of trophies filled with Princess Zelda, Ghost Boy Luigi, and Ness. He was dusting his collection when he remembered about the badges that he made.
"Oh," King Dedede said, "Here's one for you." He put the Dedede brooch on Luigi's nose.
"And one for you,"he placed the brooch on Ness's shirt.
"And finally..." King Dedede said while trying to look for the last brooch. He remembered that Bowser stole it from him and the one that he gave to Wolf. He sighed, turned around and said, "one for you" as he placed the one on his robes on Zelda's arm.
"Oh well," King Dedede said brightly, "at least if the disaster comes, we'll still have some heroes to help us. I better make some more incase some unexpected Disaster will occur ANY moment now." Just then, the tile started cracking and one large piece smacked King Dedede in the head.
"Somebody help me." as King Dedede said before he got knocked out. From above, Bowser and his minions came in and salvaged the ruined castle. There, Bowser spotted the Zelda trophy.
"Well," Bowser said thoughtfully, "at least it's better than nothing." He snatched before any of King Dedede's defense system could get him (aka The Squeak Squad).
Meanwhile, Mario and the gang (other characters: "Hey!") were at the ruins of the former Dedede Castle. There, they saw two large cracks, one from the ceiling and the other leading to the cave. There was a note on top off the rubble: "Dear Mario, Kirby, Link, Yoshi, and Pit, I took Princess Zelda. Try to catch me." -Bowser.
"Well," said Link, "Let's go teach that son of a b#$% a lesson! And where did the bleeping come from?"
"Sorry but no cussing in a K+ related story." said an ominous voice (aka me ^^). "Oh and here's another note."
"Hey," exclaimed Pit, "This looks like as if it's from the Oracle of Delphi!"
Five Heroes must enter the cave,
Filled with trials only meant for the brave.
The First should be tested with speed and might.
The Second should be tested with food and delight.
The Third shall hold the decisions for the key.
The Fourth should know how to fly like a bee.
And The Fifth will end the quest with a mighty quake,
Only to fail when the creature shakes.
"Well," said Kirby, "That was an odd prophecy."
"Much agreed, my friend." said Yoshi.
"Let's see," said Pit, "the Five Heroes meant us.
"The First must be me because I'm the fastest out of all of us." said Yoshi.
"The Second has to be me because I love to eat!" Kirby said with a smile.
"The Third must be me because I used a lot of key's back in the games." said Link.
"The Fourth is obviously me because I'm the only that has wings and Yoshi has to do the First task." said Pit.
"And I must be The Fifth because I'm the last one but I'm not so sure." pondered Mario.
"Then what are we waiting for?"asked Kirby. "Let's go right now!"
And the group went inside the tunnel where it split into five sections.
"Mamamia!" exclaimed Mario, "Which is the right path?"
"I think that we have to split up." said Link. He looked up and said, "Hey look, there are Roman numerals corresponding to where the path leads to." He pointed to the top of the cave and from left to right there were the Numerals I, II, III, IV, and V.
"You're right." said Pit, "The path says One, Two, Three, Four, and Five."
"Let's go then," said Yoshi, "Last one out has to warp space!" and the Five-hero group split up.
Path One:
Yoshi was living the dream. He was running away from boulders, collapsing caves, and battling many of Bowsers minions.
"Take This!" Yoshi exclaimed as he swollen his enemies up with his tongue.
"And This!" As he tossed some explosive eggs at the flying Paratroopas.
"And good night, Smasher's Domain!" yelled Yoshi as he egg-rolled away to the exit.
Path Two:
Kirby felt like he was back in Dreamland. The great foods watered his mouth but they were guarded by Waddle Dees and Waddle Doos. Kirby sneaked behind a Waddle Doo and swallowed him whole. He became Beam Kirby and fired his lasers at them.
"EAT MY LAZERS!" Yelled Kirby as they were blasted left and right. After hard work and success he tried to enjoy the food but he was flung outside where he meet Yoshi.
Path Three:
Link's head was spinning. After doing the Final Spin so many times to clear out enemies and grass just to get a key to this treasure chest and to get another key which led to another key on the other side and repeated the process all over again and again until Link passed out.
"Oh Gods!" exclaimed Link. "I can't keep up, please just give me the master-key already!" Thankfully, the Key popped out of nowhere.
"Thank You!" said Link as he opened the door to find the exit of the cave.
Path Four:
Pit was in a maze of clouds, literally. When he saw that maze was filled with transparent clouds that disappeared and could lead you to your death, his mouth dropped open.
"Relax Pit," Pit thought to himself, "You have owned Medusa. There's nothing to be afraid about. Your character is based of Perseus, son of Zeus. He's the lord of the sky" So Pit made a lead of faith to the first cloud where he landed as soft as an angel, so to speak.
"Well that wasn't so bad, was it!" he exclaimed. Then there was trouble, the cloud let loose and Pit was sent spiraling downwards.
"Oh gods of Olympus! Wings save me!"he yelled. He flew up wards and kept on flying out of the cave.
Path Five:
Mario was running through the stage as it was level 1-1 all over again. He stomped on Goombas, found a fire flower, and blazed through his enemies like a hero should. He jumped over the flag and crashed into the exit.
"Mamamia!" he yelled. He regained his conscience and met up outside with the others.
"So wait?" asked Yoshi, "Where's King Dedede?"
"I'm right here." said a figure that looked like King Dedede, but it didn't have that same voice.
"Wait," said Kirby, "Something's not right." Kirby went up to False King Dedede and yelled, "Where are your noodles!" He yelled so loud that Bowser's disguise was removed.
"Bowser," Mario said as he saw Zelda's trophy, "YOU'LL GET THE TASTE OF THE MARIO PUNCH!"
"Missed me!" taunted Bowser.
"Take a load of this!" yelled Pit. He fired Palutena's Bow at Bowser and the Koopa King fell out the edge.
"Yes!" said Pit. Then he saw Bowser hovering with the Koopa Car!
"Nice try Han Solo!" said Bowser as he laughed back into the Halberd.
"Han Solo, what is that supposed to mean and hey a donut." said Kirby as he mistook the Dedede Brooch for the Donut.
"Curse you Bowser the Koopa King!" yelled Link.
At the same moment, the Ancient Minister watches his two colleagues detonate a bomb again while Ganondorf watches them.
"Begin the detonation now!" yelled Ganondorf but he pushed the self-destruct button which killed the nearest R.O.B in sight. He pushed the right button and repeated himself.
"Yes Sir." the Ancient Minister said glumly. He left the scene and Castle Dedede was engulfed within seconds. Just shortly, Master Hand(aka Tabuu), arrives on the monitor.
"I want you to begin Operation Galleom." he said pointing at the wizard.
"Yes, Sir. It will be interesting on how the rebels will react to this." said Ganondorf grinning.
"Excellent." he said and the two baddies started laughing.
"Back to the ruins, Red and Lucas have defeated Wario and are now traversing through the dungeon."
"I'm sorry, but this is getting annoying." said an annoyed Lucas.
"Hey," said Red looking scared, "It's not my fault, blame the author."
"Curse you Techniciankiwi!" yelled Lucas. They walked through the creepy corridors with only the dim torchlight to guide them. The Subspace Army kept on sending on wave after wave but they were defeated every time. At last, they meet an Ivysaur trophy but before Red could capture it, he had a headache.
"Oh Arceus!" he exclaimed, "Is this the Bulbasaur that escaped me? Has it evolved?" Lucas looked at him with confusion.
"Oh, sorry. I was taking drama lessons and my teacher told me to be emotional and random times." Red lied quickly. He captured the Ivysaur and he Lucas went on their journey facing more Primids and Glires and much more.
"Lucas, how far away are we from the Charizard?" asked Red.
"According to the Trading Cards, it's right here." said Lucas. They reached a fiery field where the Charizard was resting peacefully. Red and Lucas found a hiding spot where Red began to tell Lucas his plans.
"Okay," Red whispered, "Here's the plan: We sneak up from behind, battle it, and I capture it." Lucas nodded and the two began their plan but then Red's Pokegear rang and the Charizard awoke.
"Abort plan, Abort!" yelled Lucas. The Charizard started chasing them around and around until the Charizard tripped over a stump and fell. Red captured it and did a pose.
"That was great!" congratulated Lucas.
"It was nothing." said Red. The twosome walked to a convenient exit and walked to a large hall with no doors leading anywhere.
"You still remember Ness, do you?" asked Red.
"He's probably somewhere else." replied Lucas now over with his Ness trauma.
Somewhere, not-to-far from the Ruins, the three knights are watching Galleom, the Subspace Tank, ride through the desert.
"That's him," said Ike, "That's Galleom."
"No, that's our big friend Whispy Tank, he's here to help us." said Meta-Knight cheerfully.
"マジで?" asked Marth.
"No, April Fools!" said Meta-Knight.
"Is it just me or is Meta-Knight happier then usual?" asked Ike.
"Beats me." said Marth.
"Wait, why are you speaking in English?" asked Ike.
"It's April Fools, anything can happen." replied Marth.
"So we can just jump speed there without breaking the rules?" asked Ike.
"Sure, I guess." replied Marth. And the three knights started flying to Galleom where they challenged him to a duel.
"I am Error!" replied Galleom but he knew something was wrong.
"I am Galleom." He replied quickly. The knights charged at him with all their might. After Slashes and Clashes, Meta-Knight slammed his head which made Galleom lose his mind and he fell into the ruins which cracked open and he fell into the deep abyss.
Red and Lucas hear a large noise from above. Galleom appears and starts roaring at them like an animal. Red sends out Charizard while Lucas summons a PK Love at the robot. However, this didn't do too much damage and as a result it self destructed. It grabbed Lucas and Red and squeezed them too hard which made Red pass out. Charizard was inside the Pokeball already. Galleom started flying up into the air where the three nights watch.
"We have to help them!" yelled Meta-Knight. He took off, leaving his partners behind and covered in dust.
Lucas kept on yelling in Red's face "Wake up!" but it wasn't enough. Just when Galleom was about to explode, Lucas yelled out, "PK Thunder!" The arm fell off and soon Red and Lucas were falling out of the sky. Lucas came to Red and hugged him for protection. In seconds, the bomb exploded into smithereens and the Subspace consumed the Ruins whole and sucked in Wario's trophy as well. Then, Meta-Knight came out of nowhere and grabbed the two heroes while the Roman Choir was singing the theme song.
Red woke up much later and he saw Lucas, and the three knights.
"These are the people who saved us." explained Lucas as they were eating some food the Meta-Knight found.
"You know," said Red with a mouthful, "This a good turkey."
"Really," said Lucas, "Is that what you can think off right now?"
"Well," said Red, "I'm hungry." Soon the two boys started arguing and the three knights were laughing as the night came.
