Hey silverheartlugia2000! Guess what? Yep! It's your request! AND I'M UPDATING ON TIME! :D
Disclaimer: this is fanfiction. Therefore, I do not own the characters.
Little did Link know that he was about to have a very eventful April Fool's day. He was lying in his bed-or what he thought was his bed-and was thoroughly uncomfortable. His pillow seemed to be rock hard, and something small and sharp was carving its way into the small of his back.
Ugh, he thought, why is my bed so uncomfortable? And my nose…so iiitchy…must…scratch…ahh- WHAT THE HELL?
Link fully opened his eyes to see that the hand scratching his nose was not a hand at all: it was a paw. The second thing he noticed was that he was definitely not in his bed; rather, he was outside at the brawl stadium, which was set up as Spear Pillar. He hopped up and proceeded to run around in circles, checking himself out. After a full inspection, it was confirmed: he had indeed reverted to his wolf form from Twilight Princess. Now completely at a loss for what to do, Wolf Link sat back on his haunches to think everything over. He didn't have much time, however, for the crowd that hadn't made itself known until now erupted with cheers at something that had appeared right behind the dog.
Suddenly uneasy, Wolf Link leapt up, whirled around, and began to whimper in fear. Standing in the middle of the stage, in all its blue and silver glory, was a massive dinosaur-like creature: Dialga. It growled ferociously; a deep, rippling sound that caused Wolf Link to seriously question his chances of getting off the stage in one piece.
Then, the sky darkened to a deep blue and an expectant hush settled over the crowd. A feeling of dread wormed its way into Wolf Link's heart and he began to silently pray that what he thought was going to happen, wouldn't.
Unfortunately, it did. As the canine watched, the diamond in the center of Dialga's chest glowed blue, and the finlike projections on its backside elongated. It opened its powerful jaws, and a bright blast of indigo light was released: the Roar of Time.
The crowd, which was protected by everything imaginable, was not too affected by the powerful attack. Down on the stage, however, things were interesting. Wolf Link had dashed out of the way the second he'd realized what was about to happen, but he hadn't been quick enough as the edge of the beam caught him. He was sent rocketing across the stage, landed hard, and slid and rolled over the edge. He flung out his paw in a last-ditch attempt, and to his surprise snagged the edge of the stage.
Once he had determined it was safe, Link scrambled up onto the stage and for the first time noticed the HP bars on a screen for him and Dialga. Though his chances of winning were nearly non-existent since Dialga's HP tripled his initially (his had been cut in half by the Roar of Time), he still decided it was worth it to try and win. Resolved, he assumed the ready position and tried to remember how to do battle in his shifted form.
It didn't take too long to come up with a plan: since Dialga was dazed from having launched such a powerful attack, Wolf Link saw no point in devising something elaborate. So, he ran around the pokémon and up along its tail to reach its head. There, he proceeded to bite, claw, scratch, or anything that came to mind. This caught Dialga by surprise, and at first the creature was too stunned to react, but then it shook itself and sent Wolf Link tumbling down.
Wolf Link landed back on the ground, sliding a little, and glanced at the HP bars. Dialga's was significantly lower; the attack had been successful. Pleased, Wolf Link went to try his tactic again.
Unfortunately, like all living things, Dialga was ready the second time. When Wolf Link made to run along its tail, it swung the appendage sharply. Wolf Link was sent careening through the air, tumbling end over end, before landing none too gently back on solid ground.
The situation was worsening. Not only was Dialga fully alert once more, but Wolf Link's HP was sitting dangerously low. Dialga no longer tripled him, but if the temporal pokémon chose to use Roar of Time again, the canine was screwed. It was clearly time for a new tactic.
After some scampering around and avoiding being stepped on multiple times, the new tactic was ready. When Dialga made to step on Wolf Link again, the dog sprinted under the heavy foot. Now underneath the pokémon, Wolf Link proceeded to attack in much the same way he had Dialga's head. Dialga, for its part, roared and stomped around, attempting to crush the life out of the annoying little thing driving it nuts.
Eventually, it occurred to Dialga that, in order to squish the thing under it, it needed to lie down. Wolf Link only realized just in time what was happening as Dialga's underside got steadily closer, and he sprinted out, narrowly avoiding being crushed. He chanced a peek at the HP bars again, and was thrilled. Dialga's HP was equal with his. Willpower renewed, he continued on the offensive.
It was more difficult now to be on the offensive. Dialga seemed to dodge every one of Wolf Link's attacks, and when dodging wasn't possible, it swung either its head or its tail and knocked the dog out of the air. After slamming into the ground for the fifth time, Wolf Link felt too exhausted to stand back up. He was so close to winning, but he didn't have the energy anymore. He gave up.
Something caught his eye. There, right in front of his muzzle, was something silver and blue. Hardly believing his luck in landing right next to Dialga's tail, he bit down hard on it. Dialga roared in pain and defeat, and exploded in a burst of white light and rainbow colour.
The crowd exploded with cheers and applause. The brawl had been exciting, suspenseful, and everything they'd hoped it would be. A few people laughed as Wolf Link did a doggie victory dance around the stage. Over the loudspeaker, Aaron the announcer said in his captivating voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the April Fool's prank brawl: Wolf Link!"
He waited as the crowd cheered once more before continuing. "I now ask that the person or people who planned this prank come forward."
Wolf Link watched with mild surprise as Marth appeared on the stage, grinning lopsidedly and waving animatedly at the crowd before jogging over to Wolf Link.
"Heya, doggie," he laughed. "You want a treat? Hm?"
Had Wolf Link been able to speak, he would have said, "Fix me right now, you stupid prince, or I swear to goddess I will rip you apart with my wolf fangs." Instead, he bowed and growled menacingly.
The Altean just chuckled. "Okay, I've had my fun." He stuck his two pinky fingers in his mouth and whistled. The shrill sound carried all throughout the stadium, and about five seconds after the sound had fully dissipated, the imp Midna appeared right in front of Wolf Link.
"Well, well, well!" she laughed. "Long time no see, Link!" She reached around behind her and produced a black dagger-like object with orange decal. "Bet you thought I got rid of this, huh?" she grinned, one fang showing. "Your friend here figured I'd have kept it, and he turned out to be right, so he used it to pull this whole thing off! Isn't he brilliant?" Midna turned and gave Marth a look of helpless infatuation. The prince waggled his fingers at her half-heartedly and looked rather uncomfortable. Wolf Link retched.
"Uh, Midna?" Marth prompted when the imp continued to gaze at him adoringly. "You should turn Link back now."
"What?" Midna started. "Oh. Right." She spun upwards in a circle, her arms spread wide, and Wolf Link disappeared in a flash of white light. In his place he left a somewhat beat up, pajama-clad, irritated-but-happy-to-be-back-in-his-own-body Hylian sitting on the ground.
"Well, my work here is done," Midna said as she prepared to go. Just before disappearing to wherever it was that she came from, she turned, batted her eyelashes at Marth and trilled, "Bye-bye, cutie pie!" Then she left.
"You!" Link rounded on Marth not seconds after Midna had disappeared, leaving the prince no time to feel relieved. "What kind of twisted person are you? How did you even pull this off? I was asleep in my bed, and then-"
"I'm not telling," Marth interrupted coolly.
"What?"
"I'm not telling you how I pulled this off," Marth repeated. "If I did, how would I ever pull a trick on you again?"
Link tried to say something, but all that came out was a funny, high-pitched squeak.
Marth laughed. "April Fool's!"
April Fool's everybody!
