I forgot to mention in chapter 6 that Luigi is with this group. It's a little hard keeping up with 50-plus characters.

Chapter 12:Battle of the Elements

The primid quickly started off by breathing multiple fire balls at the group, making them scatter, then Mewtwo and Lucario began charging their respective energy attacks. Pikachu and Pichu charged forward with quick attack, leaping up and striking the primid's chest, but it simply grabbed them and threw them away. Red dashed forward and caught them both.

"You two okay?"he asked.

"Pi,"they both said, nodding. Red let them both down as Lucas and Ness fired off PK Freeze and Cloud respectively. Both attacks reached it and exploded at the same time, creating a smoke cloud, then the psychic duo high fived.

"We rock!"they said.

"Do you two honestly believe it will that easy?"Mewtwo asked almost disapprovingly. The smoke cloud cleared, showing that the primid looked barely any worse for wear.

"Mama-mia, that's thing's resiliant-a,"Luigi remarked as Charizard flew forward and breathed a column of fire on it. Unfortunately, this only healed the flaming creature. Red facepalmed as Lucario shook his head.

"Not your smartest pokemon, is he?"he asked.

"Nope,"Red sighed.

"I'm thinking we should attack with water,"Mewtwo said sarcastically as the primid charged forward.

"Right! Squirtle, use Hydro Pump!"Red ordered. Squirtle reared his head back, then fired a massive stream of water. The primid couldn't stop in time and was blasted by the attack. It screeched in pain as the attack continued, then Mewtwo and Lucario fired Aura Sphere and Shadow Ball respectively, dealing even more damage. Jiggypuff and Luigi used rollout and Green Missile respectively, both striking it's legs and nearly tripping it over. Pikachu, Pichu, Ness, and Lucas used their electric attacks and shocked the hell out of it. Ivysaur fired bullet seed as Diddy and Yoshi fired their respective projectiles. Eventually, Squirtle became too tired and ended his attack, panting. The primid looked angrily at them and somehow created a sword of fire in it's hand.

"Uh-oh,"Diddy said.

"Squirtle, go take a rest in the ocean,"Red said. The water type nodded, scurried to the ocean, and jumped in. Mewtwo and Lucario turned to face the creature again, but froze in place when they sensed something.

"Mew..."Mewtwo said, eyes going wide.

"Gardevoir!"Lucario shouted.

Yoshi blinked."Yoshi Yoshi?"

"Sorry, everyone. We have to go,"Mewtwo said, then teleported himself and Lucario away without warning.

"Yippee, we just lost our strongest fighters,"Red said sarcastically as the primid charged again, making them split up once more. As the primid turned to attack Yoshi and Diddy, Jigglypuff flew up from behind it and landed on it's head. Fortunately, she was so light that the primid didn't even notice her. She stealthily floated to where it's ear would be, then she began to sing quietly so the others wouldn't hear her. With her song gently echoing through its head, the primid began to falter and stumble around like it was drunk.

Eventually, the massive furnace of a monster fell over, temporarily knocked out. The others took this chance and began attacking it like mad, and were doing a great deal of damage, unaware of the primid stirring slightly. Just before they could deal the finishing blow, an explosion of fire erupted from it, knocking them all away and burning them. Being a fire type, Charizard was hardly affected, but Ivysaaur was knocked out instantly, which made Red growled in frustration, bringing out the grass type's pokeball."Ivysaur, return!"Then, in a red flash, Ivysaur was gone.

"This is-a gettin' us-a nowhere!"Luigi said as he dodged a fire ball.

Red hummed as he thought to himself, then blinked."Oh, duh. Everyone! Follow me!"

"Beats sitting here!"Jigglypuff said. They all followed Red as he ran to the ocean, and being as stupid as it was, the primid followed them. When they reached the beach, Red shouted "Squirtle! Where are you?"The turtle pokemon poked his blue head from under the water's surface.

"Squirtle squirt?"he asked.

"Squirtle! Use surf!"Red yelled, pointing to the primid. Squirtle nodded, creating a massive wave to rise up from the ocean, then Charizard and Jigglypuff immediately flew up above the wave so they wouldn't get hit.

"SQUIRTLE!"Squirtle yelled, bringing the giant wave forward. Red turned to the others.

"I suggest you hold on to something,"he said quietly."This could get really wet."

"..."Luigi clutched his hat. The primid finally reached the beach in time to get swallowed by thousands of gallons of seawater. When the wave finally pulled back, everyone was washed up across the beach, and the primid was nowhere to be found. All but one of them stood up.

"Quick roll call. Who's not dead?"Red asked bluntly. He got groans in response."Good enough."

"Hey, where's Luigi?"Jigglypuff asked as she and Charizard flew back down.

"Pika pi,"Pikachu said, pointing as he shook himself dry. They looked over and saw Luigi lying on the ground with an extended stomach. Pichu walked up to him, looked at him for a moment, then jumped on his stomach, causing water to squirt from his mouth. Pichu then jumped off as Luigi sat back up.

"Mama-mia,"the green plumber mumbled, rubbing his head.

Pichu smiled cheerfully."Pi pichu chu!"

"He said he saw Mario do that once when he drank too much soda,"Jigglypuff translated.

"You alright, Luigi?"Red asked, patting the green plumber on the back.

"I've-a been better,"he mumbled."Let's-a get back to the mansion."

And so they did, unaware of the shadow bugs that were slowly rising out of the sand.

Sorry to all the Weegee fans for that last part. I just couldn't resist. LOL!
