Author's Note: No one answered the poll. I guess I'll just keep it up for a while longer. Also, the next chapter might take longer than a week to write. I haven't really felt like writing recently.

Elysium: Don't worry, Nathaniel will recover from that. Eventually.

Chapter 16: Pokemon Bonanza

"All right! You two should be good now! I taught Nathaniel as much of the Boulder Style as I could!" Darunia announced. He turned to Crazy, "Are you sure you two will be alright?"

"I'm sure Darunia," she said. "We'll take out Galeem in no time."

"Alright, this Crate is a gift to the two of you. I'm sure the contents will help a lot." He passed the giant Crate over to Crazy, who slipped it into her inventory. Darunia then turned to me, his voice tinged with concern. "Are we sure he's alright?"

"No thanks to-" I got cut off by another wave of nausea. Twisting my head back into the bushes on the side of the dojo, I restarted the violent process of losing the contents of my stomach again. Apparently, having your shield broken multiple times in succession makes you sick if you're not used to it.

"Sorry," Darunia apologized. "Usually, the people I train are already used to it so I forget that part."

'BLAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGggggggggggghhh. Ugh. Okay, I think it's over," I muttered. Putting my hand down to help me get back to my feet, my hand touched something cold and hard before it slid down. "Please don't tell me it's a bomb."

"It's a bomb," Crazy said.

"WHAT?" I threw myself away from the bushes.

"Yeah, there's some Bob-ombs, Bombchus, ooh, and a Smart Bomb." I turned my head to see that Crazy was looking in the crate Darunia gave her. She looked at me, "I'll hold onto these. If you had them, you would probably blow yourself up."

I moved back to the bushes and parted them to see what I had touched. It seemed to a blue button that was pushed down. Before I could tell Crazy, the ground began to rumble. I spun as the rumble seemed to emanate from a pile of boulders behind us.

"Nathaniel, what's going on?" Crazy cried out as she and Darunia ran up next to me. Before our eyes, the boulders began to vanish with a heavenly light, leaving behind a stairway up the wall. The rumbling ceased.

"I think I hit a button and this happened."

"I guess we know where we're going next," Crazy said as she began walking towards the stairs. I stopped her though.

"Actually, we kinda need to head back to the waterfalls." I pointed back in the opposite direction. "I saw a Smasher Statue up there."

Naturally, Crazy stopped. "Are you serious? You didn't mention that to me sooner?"

"You dragged me over here before I could," I answered. "Let's hurry over there."

We waved goodbye to Darunia before making our way back north. Like always a question popped into my mind, "Hey, Crazy? Will it really be as easy to defeat Galeem as you say?"

She thought for a moment before answering, "I put our odds of winning at, maybe, 6.25%. Maybe less."

I began counting on my fingers, "Did you actually do the math or did you just guess?"

"Either way, the point is that we have a lot to go through until we could beat Galeem," Crazy stated.

"Oh, we're here." I looked up at the waterfall. "I don't see anyway up there. Do we just swim up the waterfall?"

"What? No. We're not Zora." Crazy began to walk around the rock outcropping to the side of the waterfall. "I think I saw a path over here last time we went past here."

I followed her as we walked past where Crazy lost her mind. As she said, there was a path which we followed to ascend the cliff where the waterfall was located. "What Smasher do you think it is?"

"Oblivion, I have amnesia. Remember?" I thought to him. "I don't even remember my family."

I began to think on the memories that I got back. So far, it was mostly just bits about my childhood, which wasn't too helpful. I remember some Smashers but not enough to actually be helpful. Then, there was the Bowser amiibo. It didn't give a memory which was pretty worrying. "Worry about memories later," I told myself.

"Did you say something?" Crazy asked.

"Wh-?" I got snapped from thoughts. "It's nothing." Something caught my eye.

"Look out!" I pushed Crazy out of the way and threw up a shield. A dark, purple energy ball collided against my shield. The shield shrank slightly and the attack disappeared. Under my breath, I muttered, "Thank you Darunia."

Crazy started to shoot at the attacker with Staff and I took a look at who it was. It was about the same height as me with a purple tail and pale white skin. It kinda reminded me of a cat and angular eyes. On each hand. It had three fingers with balls on them. Interestingly enough, it was floating a few inches off the ground as it dodged Crazy's shots.

"What Smasher is this?" I asked Crazy as I shot at it with the Steel Diver. With a wave of its hand, the torpedo reversed course at flew back at me, knocking me off my feet.

"It's Mewtwo," she explained. "It's a Pokemon created from Mew, the first Pokemon. Mewtwo is kinda like Lucario without aura but has a higher base strength."

I turned my attention back to Mewtwo, who floated past all of Crazy's shots and sent her flying with a wave. Then, the Pokemon turned its attention to me. Pulling out the Beam Sword, I slashed at the approaching Pokemon. The attack didn't connect, with Mewtwo vanishing before the blade made contact.

"Oh no," I got out as Mewtwo appeared in front of me and struck with both hands covered in a dark energy. Flying back, I hit the ground and rolled back up to my feet as Mewtwo teleported again.

"Behind you." Hearing the warning, I twisted around, slashing Mewtwo across the chest. The Pokemon landed back on his feet and charged at me again. Crazy's Staff went off and Mewtwo flew back. Crazy kept shooting at the Pokemon while I ran at it.

Mewtwo quickly charged up another energy ball and threw it. I stopped, shielding against the attack. Taking advantage of me stopping, Mewtwo teleported in front of me and grabbed through my shield with telekinesis. It tossed me away before launching a barrage of energy balls while I was still in the air.

"This is getting annoying," I muttered as I got back to my feet. Looking back up at the opposing Pokemon, I rolled to dodge another energy ball before returning fire with the Steel Diver. "Crazy, do you have any ideas?"

"Just keep distracting Mewtwo!" Crazy dug through her bag as I kept shooting. Mewtwo waved its hand again and a torpedo reversed course, blowing up and knocking me off my feet. Lifting my head, I saw Mewtwo moving closer to Crazy as she pulled out something black and spherical. She aligned her Staff with Mewtwo's chest and fired. As soon as the shot connected, Crazy's other hand shot up, tossing the sphere at Mewtwo.

An explosion rang out, throwing Mewtwo back. I ran to where Mewtwo would land and brought my Beam Sword up. The force from the explosion drove Mewtwo's body onto the blade. Slowly the body crumbled into smoke, releasing the spirit.

"So, Mewtwo is a Pokemon, correct?" I asked Crazy as she captured the spirit.

"Why?"

"I do remember Pikachu." I began to list off the Pokemon that I remember. "There's Jigglypuff and Squirtle. Kirby too-"

"Kirby's not a Pokemon." She interrupted.

"What do you mean? Kirby is cartoonish, an outlandish color and a creature that is monstrous behind an innocent appearance. That's a Pokemon, right?"

"No, Kirby is from a different world." She walked over and lightly punched me in the shoulder. "He and Jigglypuff just happen to look alike through cosmic coincidence."

"Yeah, right," I muttered before continuing to my main point. "Anyway, I was wondering, how many Pokemon are there? I remember some besides the ones we fought like a giant whale, garbage bags, and I think there was one that was a dragon but not a dragon for some reason."

Crazy moved to climb the waterfall, "I don't know. I lost count at 500."

"500?" My jaw dropped as I tried to comprehend that many. I remember less than 20.

"It's definitely higher than that," Crazy said as she saw my reaction. "Thankfully, only 8 Smashers are Pokemon."

We continued to hike up the waterfall as Crazy filled me in on the basics of the Pokemon world. She was filling me in on type advantage as we reached the top of the mountain. "So, dragon types beat other dragon types?"

Crazy nodded as she bit into an apple. "Yep."

"How does that make sense?" I peeked my head over the ledge, "And where did you get that apple anyway?"

"From my bag. Do you see the statue yet?"

"Yeah. Don't think I can climb down there though." I began to look around before turning to Crazy. "By the way, could I have an apple?"

"I'll give you one at Darunia's house."

"Wait, why?" My question has answered with a kick to the gut. "CRAZY!" I managed to get out as I fell into the water. As I struggled to stay afloat, I realized something.

Am I going to electrocuted? I mean, I don't know if the Beam Sword is waterproof but does it even run on batteries? I haven't replaced any yet so I don't think so.

"Waterfall, remember?" Oblivion cut in.

"Oh yeah." The current and gravity pulled me over the edge. I tried to curse at Crazy as I fell but water kept getting in my mouth. Thankfully, my fall only lasted several seconds as I landed on something hard. Pulling myself from the water, I found the Smasher Statue waiting for me.

"I'll wait for you back at Darunia's!" Crazy shouted from the top of the waterfall.

"ARE YOU INSANE? DO I KNOW HOW TO SWIM? MAYBE! I'M NOT SURE BUT I COULD HAVE DROWNED!" I screamed back. She either didn't hear or ignored me.

"Did you just ask someone named Crazy if she was insane?" Oblivion questioned. "Anyway, just hurry up and awaken the Smasher. We could get payback later."

I stumbled towards the statue and checked the nameplate:

Smasher No. 08
Pikachu

"Finally. A Smasher that I do remember!" I tapped the nameplate before realizing something. "If Pikachu uses electricity, and I'm covered in water, does that mean Pikachu's attacks do more damage?"

"It's not as if you have something to compare Pikachu's attacks to. Besides, either way it will still hurt," Oblivion spoke those words of wisdom as Pikachu, the famous yellow mouse appeared before me.

"Pika!" The pokemon cried out, the mouse launching itself like a missile. I sidestepped before drawing Death's Scythe. Flourishing the scythe, I swung at Pikachu, missing as the Pokemon jumped over the blade. Pikachu darted between my legs, and I spun to attack again but the Pokemon was gone.

"Pi-ka-chuuuuu!" A lightning bolt crashed down on me and I lost my grip on the scythe. Rolling back to my feet, the yellow mouse shot itself at me again. I shielded against the attack. Pikachu fell to the ground and I took the opportunity to punt it.

Turning in the air, Pikachu landed on its feet before dashing at me. I switched to my next weapon, the Steel Diver. Before I could begin shooting, Pikachu began to zigzag as it approached, making it harder to aim. As I fired off several shots, Pikachu made it to me.

Pikachu struck the Steel Diver out of my hands with a swipe of its tail before zapping with a jolt of electricity. I was launched away and fell on my side. Reaching into my inventory, I drew the Beam Sword and swiped at the yellow Pokemon before jumping to my feet.

Pikachu and I faced each other, waiting. My eyes stared into Pikachu's glowing red eyes as I waited for the Pokemon to attack. I was certain that if I ran to attack, Pikachu would use it's size to dodge before hitting me with Thunder or a smash attack. Pikachu. A small movement broke through my reverie.

Pikachu's left paw twitched a little more before it took off, bolting at me. I threw the Beam Sword, aiming low. Hopping over the sword, Pikachu continued the charge, accelerating. I shrugged off my jacket and tossed in Pikachu's direction before rolling to the side. I grabbed the Beam Sword off the ground, with a rainbow aura enveloping me as I turned to face Pikachu, who was struggling with my jacket on its face.

Throwing the jacket off, Pikachu stopped, giving me enough time to use the Final Smash. "Big Beam Blade Break!" I brought down the growing blade on the mouse Pokemon, bisecting it and ending the fight.

"It's getting kinda late."

"What do you mean?" I began picking up the items I dropped during the fight before moving to pick up Pikachu's amiibo. Memories in my mind came back, none of which was too important. I sighed, "That was a bit disappointing."

"The sun's setting. You're going to meet up with Crazy now, right?" Oblivion questioned.

"Yeah," I yawned. "I think that I'll have to take the river back to Darunia's Dojo."


Something snagged onto my hood. It remained firm before pulling the upper half of my body out of the river. "Is there a reason why you were just floating down the river?" Crazy asked, holding a fishing rod.

"Maybe that's because I'm still not sure how to swim." I pulled the rest of my body out of the river. Reaching around my neck, I pulled a fishing hook out of my hood. "Floating is a better alternative to panicking in the water and drowning. Why are you fishing anyway?"

Crazy pointed to a bucket next to her filled with fish. "All Darunia has to eat is rocks. This is dinner."

I grabbed the bucket of fish and we headed into Darunia's dojo.
