A Forgetful Mario Helped by Friends

Chapter 2

"Thank you!" Mario said to the three children. He felt his heart fill with glee! "When do we leave?" He exclaimed excitedly. "Hold on!" Replied a strange voice. "First you'll need a pokemon!" Mario turned around and jumped at the tall stranger. "Hi professor Oak!" Cheered the kind trio. "Huh!" Mario yelled, very confused. "Whats a 'pokemon'!?" He asked, turning his head to Ash, then Brock, then finally Misty. Mario stood confused as Pickachu raised his hand. "You see," Ash laughed. "Pokemon are the creatures that live in this world!"

Brock nodded, and disappeared! He came back wearing a lab coat and holding a stick to point at a random board! then added "We use them to travel, battle, enter contest, and more! We also study them. Think of them as Toads, Gumbas, Koopa Troopas, and other creatures like that!" Mario nodded, beginning to understand. He turned to the tall stranger who the kids called 'Professor Oak' and asked "So, this old guy is giving me one?" Mario stared at everyone and everyone stared at Mario for a long pause. "Er... Yeah!" Professor Oak said, wanting to hurry this along.

It took EVERYTHING for Ash to NOT laugh at what Mario just said! It was lucky that Professor Oak broke the silence before Ash did. Ash, Brock, Misty, Professor Oak, and, of course, Mario all walked to Professor Oak's lab. "So," Mario said to Ash, "What Pokemon should I pick" Brock and Misty turned while Professor Oak sighed "Oh boy!" So, as all Pokemon fans know, Ash went crazy on information for the three pokemon, then started to brag about Pickachu!

"Bla bla Empty! Bla, blah bla bla Empty! Bla blah blah bla blah Pickachu! Bla bla blah Zap, shock! Bla blah bla Pickachu! Blah ba bla Pidgy, bla blah fail. Bla bla bla Lazy, bla blah Pickachu! bla ba blah bla rock, bla bah Sparrow! bla blah Pickachu! Ba blah save! Bla blah ba Misty! Bbla blah, ba blah Bike... bla bla Pickachu, bla blah pokeballl, bla ba blah save, blah ba bla spearow! Bla blah Pickachu, ba bla saved me! Bla blah Best friends!" (These weren't Ash's exact words, but all big pokemon fans know the story and I'd have to use the whole chapter to explain it so if you don't know it research it. Back to the story.)

"Wow!" Yelled Mario as they reached the lab. "So a pokemon will help me find my brother?" Misty nodded then answered, "We'll help you to Mario!" Professor Oak nodded and entered the lab. He came out with three pokeballs and told Mario to choose a pokemon. "Let me-a see..." After a long pause, Mario chose... "CHARMANDER!" Mario opened the ball and a red beam came out, but nothing else! "What!? Oh well! I'll choose... SQUITLE!" He threw the pokeball, but nothing. So he picked the third ball and grumbled "Bulbasaur... Of course!" Mario forced the ball open, but nothing came out. "Oops!" shouted the professor. "I already gave out the pokemon!"

After a few minutes Mario was jumping like nuts on the Professors head! "OW OW OW!" Professor Oak cried! "DIE YOU GOOMBA! DIE!" Mario kept shouting. "Ok... THAT'S ENOUGH!" Brock said, trying to stop the fight, but now... "OW OW OW!" Brock and Professor Oak were now shouting as Mario jumped on both of them. "THAT'S ENOUGH MARIO! WE ARE TRYING TO HELP YOU!" Misty grabbed Mario as Brock and the Professor rubbed their heads. Mario struggled for a bit, but Misty kept holding while humming a nice song. Mario calmed down, so Misty let him go. "Sorry, I guess I'm in a rush" Mario sighed, took a few deep breaths, and asked "Do I still get a pokemon? I won't keep it. If I take it back with me it'll be harder to hold on to my brother when we return."

"Yes, you still get a pokemon. Here. I think you'd like this one!" Ash laughed, picking up a pokeball and handing it to Mario. "Ok-a! Lets see..." He pushed the button and a Ryhorn came out! "Thanks Ash!" Cheered Mario. "Your welcome! Would you like to join us for Thanksgiving dinner then spend the night?" Ash asked, "We can look for your brother tomorrow! Its getting dark." Mario looked at the sky for a few minutes, then nodded. "Ok, Lets-" All of a sudden, Mario got really dizzy, He blinked a couple of times, then everything went black! 5 Minutes later he woke up. "I'm ok. I just got-a little dizzy." Everyone stared at Mario for a bit, but he seemed ok, so of they went!

Meanwhile, a sneaky trio with white and black suits with a big red R in the middle hid behind a bush, watching. One was a man with purple hair, the other was a woman with long pink hair, and the third was a Meoth who asked "Who is that red plumber hanging with the twerps?" The man shook his head and answered "I don't know Meoth, what do you think Jessie?" The woman turned to Meoth and the man and replied "Does it matter!? We must get that Pickachu! We'll attack in the morning!" Jessie looked at Meoth who said "Fine with me! What about you James?" James looked at Meoth, then at Jessie and sighed "Fine. Can we get something to eat?" The trio agreed and left for the restaurant for the free thanksgiving feast that the sign promised. Planning their attack.
