Chapter Four: The Rival

Now that the Wario Bros. officially started their journey, they walked to the next town. They talked about things, more things, and other things that don't relate to this story. Ok, maybe they do. Then, they passed by some bushes. Some guy jumped out and scared them.

''AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!'' screamed the Wario Bros.

''A-ha! I've found you, Wario! And your brother Waluigi is here too!'' The guy, who's name was ''Kid'' Troy, soundly laughed. ''You got any Maximon?''

''What for?'' asked Waluigi.

''What do you mean?'' said Troy. ''Maximon actually exist, you know? Have one?'' he continued.

''Yes, but I have to take it to a doctor. Wario has one though, you know.'' he said.

''Alright...'' The mullet-wearing ''kid'' mushroomer pulled out a Maxi Ball and threw it. ''Yoshi, I choose you!''

The green creature popped out of the ball. ''Yoshi!''

Wario got out his Maxidex. ''Yoshi, the Dragon Maximon. It has an enormous appetite and will eat anything it lays its eyes on.''

''What are you waiting for? Send out your Maximon, fatso!'' Troy called out.

Wario became angry. ''DON'T CALL ME FATSO! Go, Yellow Lightning!'' Zappy jumped down from his shoulder.

''Quick, Yoshi! Swallow him!''

Yoshi swallowed Zappy. ''Zappy Zappy Zappy Zappy Zappy!'' the electric Maximon said as he struggled to get out. Then, he had a plan.

''ZAPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!'' Yoshi got electrocuted, and spat Zappy out. He then fainted.

Wario got excited. ''Hahaha! I win! I win! I win I win I win!''

''Okay, it wasn't the best strategy ever... But still.'' Troy thought. Then he said to Wario, ''Oh yeah? I still have another!'' He threw out another Maxi Ball. ''Koopa Troopa, go!''

Once the green-shelled Koopa popped out, he ran to the bushes and did his business.

''Oh, Koopa Troopa! That was my favorite battle spot!'' cried the opponent.

''Yellow Lightning! Tackle that fool!'' Wario commanded. Zappy also ran to the bushes and kicked the Koopa in the back. He fell over, and got mad.

''Kid'' Troy smacked his head. ''Damn you, Zappy! Koopa Troopa, give it all you've got!''

Koopa Troopa retracted into his shell and spun all over the place, hitting Zappy over and over.

''Oh, damn it!'' said Wario. ''Zapper, do a growl!''

''He can't even get the name right...'' Waluigi said to himself.

Zappy growled. It did nothing to the Koopa Troopa, apparently, because it kept spinning and hitting him. Finally, he stopped, and Zappy was in need of being taken to a treatment center too.

Wario picked up Zappy and prepared to escape. ''Come on, Waluigi. I'm tired of fighting.''

Troy started laughing. ''Hahahahahaha! You gave up already!? You're a crackup. Hahahahaha!''

Wario got steamed. ''SHUT UP! Waluigi, get out your rock Maximon.''

''But-'' Waluigi started.

''I don't care. Maybe he's alive, somehow.''

Waluigi called in Rocker. He was barely able to stand, but he resisted.

''Rocker!'' cried Waluigi. ''Don't give up! Kill that Koopa Troopa! Or don't, but at least make him faint! Use your guitar!''

''Rocker...'' the gray Maximon said. He then started playing his magic electric guitar. It emitted loud, unruly noises that the Koopa and his trainer couldn't stand. Then, the Koopa Troopa tried to punch him, but Rocker defended himself by climbing a tree and hiding in it.

''Koopa Troopa! Headbutt that tree!'' shouted Troy. The Koopa ran towards the tree and threw himself towards it. His only success was a big, honking headache.

Rocker hung on to the tree as the Koopa Troopa kept headbutting it. Once the Koopa Troopa was close to fainting, Rocker jumped down, kicked him in the head, and toppled over.

''Hey, Waluigi! If your Maximon is supposedly weak, then how come it was killing mine?'' asked Troy.

''Uhhh...'' was all Waluigi could say.

Rocker had struggled to get up and was already fainted by the time Troy and Waluigi finished talking. The purple-wearing felon looked at the fainted Rock Maximon, and called him back into his Maxi Ball. ''Okay, battle over. You won.'' said Wario.

''Woo-hoo! I won! I won! You losers suck! Woo-hoo!'' Troy ran away, woo-hoo-ing.

''I hate that guy.'' said Wario.

Waluigi agreed. ''Me too.''

''Zappy.'' the Maximon said.

''Wait, is there a Maximon Center around here?'' Wario asked.

''I read in my book that they are Maximon Centers, but not many. There's like, 40-50, something.'' Waluigi explained.

''Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!'' yelled Wario.

And so, the Wario Bros. were on their way to the nearest Maximon Center. What will happen then? Only time can tell... Only time can tell.
