Chapter 7: The First Fight

"Good Afternoon, Ladies and Gents! My name is Crazy Hand, and this will be the first match of Super Smash Brothers Universe, the fourth Smash Bros. Tournament! I will be your broadcaster for the rest of the tournament, so get used to my voice now."

Crazy Hand was ecstatic to be the Commentator for the tournament. This was the first year that the MESPN, (Multiverse Entertainment and Sports Programming Network), would be broadcasting the tournament, making Smash a much bigger deal, especially on planets that don't have much contact with life from other planets, such as Earth.

"This Match will be One on One, Stock, Unlimited Time, with no items, at the Boxing Arena. Both Fighters will be given one stock, so one step outside that Blast Line, and it's game over." Crazy said. "And here is my Brother, and best friend, Master Hand, to introduce the Fighters, and give a little analysis on each. So, Master, who are the fighters today?"

"We will have the Electric Mouse Pokemon, Pikachu, versus the Blue Super Android, MegaMan."

"So, MegaMan is new here, isn't he? What do you think he can do to counter Pikachu, who has proven time and time again, his capabilities on the battlefield?"

"MegaMan is different from all the other fighters here, because he has a variety of different abilities that he can switch on and off at a moment's notice. I think that his best bet would be to fight fire with fire, and use his Spark Shock weapon any time he gets the chance."

"But, what about the fact the he's a robot? Can he feel pain, or get tired?"

"Yes, he can. Info from Light Labs tells us that all the Robot Masters are programmed to feel tired as they use up their battery. They need to charge each day by sleeping, but also can gain some battery power just by taking in oxygen."

"Thank you for that bit of insight, Master Hand! We will now go down to the arena, where the fight will begin in just a few short moments."

Well, this was it. The first match, that he had somehow predicted.

Now, don't get ahead of yourself, Rock. It could just be some freak coincidence. Yeah, just a coincidence. Nothing going on here. Just win the fight.

MegaMan was in what the smashers called "The Airlock". This Airlock was connected directly to the stage, so all that would happen is that a door would open, and he would walk down a ramp and into the ring. But on others, he was told, they would teleport him to a completely different environment.

"Welcome, to the Boxing Arena!" the announcer said into the loudspeaker. He flew around on a hover device that closely resembled the bottom half of Dr. Wily's flying saucer.

"Have we got a show for you today! Before the fight begins, I need to introduce our contestants. In the Blue corner, we have, The Blue Bomber, MEGAMAN!"

The doors of the airlock opened and out stepped MegaMan…

...Who was greeted by tons of confused and absent faces from the crowd.

He slowly walked down the ramp, and climbed into the boxing ring. A few people started to recognize him, and clapped respectfully.

Nope. This isn't awkward at all, he thought.

"Now, in the red corner, we have, The Electric Mouse, PIKACHU!"

Pikachu got the opposite response, with just about everyone screaming and chanting his name.

He trotted down the ramp, with a genuine smile. Despite being extremely popular, Pikachu was very humble.

Pikachu crawled into the ring to meet a baffled MegaMan.

"Um, hi. I-i'm MegaMan." MegaMan said. He put out his hand.

"Pikachu." Pikachu said as he shook Rock's hand.

"Fighters, to your corners!" said the announcer.

They both walked in opposite directions, to the ropes.

"Set up the blast lines!"

A flaming dome appeared over the stage, and then disappeared.

"If you touch those blast lines even once, it's game over for you." the announcer said enthusiastically.

"3!"

MegaMan got into a fighting stance.

"2!"

Pikachu did the same.

"1!"

It seemed the whole world was silent.

"GO!"

Rock saw Pikachu coming in for a headbutt, so he quickly ducked, which sent Pikachu face first into the ground.

Now, his first instinct was to throw out a metal Blade, but instead he brought out a leaf shield.

Pikachu was in mid-air, executing a quick-attack at that moment, but Rock grabbed him, and the spinning leaves caused extra damage while he pounded on Pikachu with Guts Arm.

Pikachu spun and whipped MegaMan with his tail, which got him free, but he also hit the lights illuminating the arena. The entire unit came down, falling on both Pikachu and MegaMan.

MegaMan, using Guts Arm, picked it up and threw it towards the blast line, where it exploded. Pikachu was enraged on how Rock seemed to predict his every move. He called down Thunder, but was amazed at what Rock did in response.

MegaMan turned on Spark Shock, but instead of shooting it at Pikachu, he raised the two spikes that were now his hands up in the air and caught the thunderbolt.

MegaMan knew that this overcharge of energy needed to get out of his body as soon as possible, so why not discharge it out his hands? Which were aimed directly in front of him. Which also happens to be where Pikachu was standing in awe.

"You can blink now." Rock said with a smirk.

Pikachu blinked, did a comical double take, and just stood there, awaiting his inevitable defeat.

The blast came right at him, sending him flying at such a high velocity it ripped the ropes of the ring, and sent him through the blast lines.

MegaMan had won.

Guys, I am so sorry about not updating for this long. It won't happen again. I promise. *Most of you groan.* Well! If you don't like the result of my blood sweat and tears, then maybe I should stop writing this story! *Most of you cheer. I sigh.* Would you like it if I just let you guys give me feedback on what you might want to happen? *A lot of you think, then nod in agreement.* Alright then! If you have any ideas as to what should happen next, please write a review, or message me. (Also, if you are going to give an idea, please review the chapter or story as well. Thank you.)
