'I wonder why everyone is so upset…' Jewel wondered.
When she and Lucario had told Master Hand of her past, he had immediately called a meeting with all smashers. Now they were listening to Master Hand in a large auditorium.
"Smashers, I must inform you that Tabuu may still be alive," Master Hand started.
All of the smashers gasped and whispered amongst themselves.
"and I think he may be tracking Jewel."
Jewels eyes widened in shock and fear. So this was the reason for the smashers to be upset. If they had fought this, Tabuu, before then he must have found her planet and decided to stay there until he was ready to came to the smash mansion. And if he has plenty of time to heal, he could become stronger. Then he will be harder to beat, (Play Boss Battles on easy then Intense, that is the strength difference)
Jewel thought a moment. Then had an idea. She walked to Master Hand and asked for his attention.
"Yes, Jewel?" Master Hand said turning to her.
"I think I have a plan. But I need everyone's help to pull it off." Jewel said looking at the crowd of smashers.
"I see, what is your plan exactly?" Master Hand asked suspiciously.
"I need to find a way to my planet. And if we can find Tabuu before he is at full strength, we can easily defeat him. And he will not see it coming." Jewel explained.
She heard someone scoff.
"That plan is crazy enough to get us all killed!" They said. And that person sounded like Wolf.
Before she could say something, Master Hand spoke up.
"Actually, that might work. But I am going to need a bit of time to get someone who could teleport all of you at once… and that might take at least a few weeks." He mused.
Jewel nodded, "Just let us know when you are ready." she said giving a small smile.
Master Hand seemed to nod and he floated away. Jewel searched the crowd for Samus, and soon found her talking with Peach and Ike. She walked to them. But before she could reach them, she spotted Lucario talking to Red and his pokemon. She flinched when Lucario looked at her. She smiled shyly and waved a bit. Then Red saw that Lucario was looking at something else, Red turned and saw Jewel. Then smiled and turned back to Lucario. He said something and Lucario recoiled back and blushed. He and Red both looked at Jewel. She just blinked a few times in confusion. She saw Red throw his head back and laugh. And Lucario looked at him with slight irritation. Red elbowed Lucario and said something, and Lucario shook his head. But Red moved and pushed Lucario toward Jewel. Lucario sighed and approached her.
Jewel nodded respectfully. Lucario did the same. They sat there in silence, and it was beginning to irritate Jewel. She needed to start a conversation.
"So, uh, thank you. For rescuing me earlier." She said awkwardly.
Lucario seemed startled. "Oh, it was not a problem."
Jewel stared at him for a moment. He seemed to be distracted, something was bothering him.
"Do you really think your plan will work?" Lucario asked.
"Well, of course! As long as Master Hand gets the correct person to transport us to my planet." Jewel exclaimed.
Lucario nodded. But said nothing. They stood there for a few moments before Lucario spoke again.
"Uh, would you l-like to go to the, gardens w-with me?" He asked nervously.
Jewel blinked a few times out of surprise.
"I-I would love to. Uh, what time?" She answered.
"Oh, uh, how is this afternoon?"
"Perfect. I'll go if you don't call it a date." Jewel teased.
"I never intended it to be. I'm not that type." Lucario argued folding his arms.
Jewel giggled. "Good, because I'm not that type either."
"Attention all smashers, all brawls will be closed tomorrow, thank you." an intercom spoke.
Lucario looked at Jewel, "Would you like to have a quick brawl with me?" He asked.
Jewel thought a moment. Then looked up at him and nodded. Lucario smiled and took her hand, then led her to the brawling room…
