Everyone watch him walk through the bar, the man sit and didn't ask for anything, until finally the bartender approached him.
¨Well, it's strange to see the famous Captain Falcón around here¨ said the waiter while cleaning a glass.
"Give me the usual, richard," Cap. Falcon said without looking at him.
"Aye, captain," Richard said and went to prepare the drink.

Captain Falcón observed the place while he waited for his drink, people had continued to keep doing what they were doing and he stopped being the center of attention, something that a few years ago would have bothered him, but not so much now, while he was still lost in his thoughts someone sat next to him.
This was a stuffy man, but with muscles, he had a brown jacket and a white polo shirt with Japanese symbols on it, he also wore a red bandana on his head and had a sword at his side.
"So, the great Captain decided to please us with his 'great' presence today," said the Man before tapping him on the shoulder.
"What do you want, Goroh? I'm not in good mood for your games¨ said Cap. Falcón without looking at him.
The man known as Goroh simply smiled, and ordered a drink from the bartender who was giving Falcon his drink but when he handed over Cap's drink to him Goroh snatched it from him and drank it in one gulp.

"Look Captain I hate doing this" Goroh said, but was interrupted by Cap. falcon
"No, you don't" said Captain Falcon immediately noticing how other men were closing in on them.
"You're right, I don't" Goroh said before getting up from his chair, Cap. Falcón followed him with his eyes as he stopped in front of 10 heavily armed men.
¨But they have offered me a lot of money for your head so, just come with me¨ he said as he drew his sword.
"You don't want to do this Goroh, believe me" Captain Falcon said as he stood up from his chair and looked at the men.
¨But I want, the reward is worth it¨ saying this, he launched himself towards captain falcon with his sword.
Captain Falcon saw him coming and dodged the attack by jumping on top of Goroh and landing behind him, two men armed with knives tried to hit him but he dodged the attacks again hitting one of the men and throwing him towards another causing them to fall, Goroh tried to attack again with his sword but Captain Falcon deflected his sword make him stabbed one of his henchman who tried to attack Falcon from behind.
Cap. Falcon then drew his pistol and shot another man who was drawing a weapon leaving him injured then blocked Goroh again deflecting his sword with a movement of his hands and tried to hit Goroh in the face, but goroh caught It and He reached out and tried to stab him again, but the Captain dodged and got rid of grab, the sword hit another of Goroh's minions.
"Falcon Kick" Captain Falcon yelled as he shot out throwing a Fire Kick towards Goroh hitting him, Goroh went flying hitting two other of his men.

¨There you go Richard see you next time¨ said Cap. Falcon before dodging a blow and running out to the door of the bar.
Goroh got up furious and ran with his henchmen out of the bar, the captain had already entered the Blue Falcon and accelerated to maximum speed towards the city.
"Everyone follow that machine don't let it escape" Goroh shouted before enter his vehicle the Fire Singray and immediately gave chase along with his other henchmen who also entered their vehicles.
Port Town – Inside the city
The blue Falcon was moving at high speed through the night streets of Port Town, when he saw in his rearview mirror that 9 vehicles were following him Goroh was in front of the pack.
"Tch, I have to lose them before I go home" he muttered before quickly turning a corner, Goroh and the others follow quickly.
¨Time to test the weapons¨ said Goroh before communicating with his henchmen ¨All of you prepare your weapons, It's time to capture the captain.¨
Goroh's henchmen began the attack sequence and different weapons came out of their machines, laser pistols, cannons, spikes on the bumper of their cars, Goroh's car had two cannons on the sides and a flamethrower in the front..
Cap. Falcon looked at the approaching cars and immediately turned another corner, but still he couldn't deflect them, the multiple cannons on the cars began to fire lasers at him and he began to dodge them.
¨I have to get rid of them¨ thought the captain before taking a fast U-turn surprising Goroh and his mercenaries, he quickly used his turbo accelerating to them at high speed, a few were able to react in time and dodge some not so much.
Then Cap. Falcon activated his Falcon booster and his car caught fire almost in the shape of an eagle destroying 3 cars of his pursuers while going at the speed of sound down the street.
Goroh and his minions turned and activated their boosters and went after Falcon also at the speed of sound, they all ran through the city at supersonic speeds, Falcon was dodging shots while Goroh and his minions tried everything they could to try and catch him.
Suddenly they began to be followed by the police who were also approaching them at supersonic speeds.
¨Captain Falcon, Samurai Goroh and his lackeys, stop this instant¨ A voice sounded through the speakers of one of the police cars.
"Great" Falcon thought.
¨Sir, what do we do with the police¨ said one of the lackeys to Goroh through the radio.
"Get rid of them! We only want Falcon" Goroh exclaimed angrily.
Goroh's lackeys turned their guns on the police cars and started shooting at them, the police fired back as well, Falcon saw this as his chance to lose them now that the police were involved.
"Now is the time" Falcon thought before turning quickly into an alley.
Goroh was able to keep up with Falcon unlike his minions who couldn't turn in time and crashed into each other along with the police following them.
Falcon and Goroh were running one after the other, Falcon turning through the alleys so fast that Goroh couldn't point his gun at him in his vehicle.
"Come on, hold still for a moment," Goroh growled.
"You wish, Goroh" replied Falcon.
"Wait how did you enter my communication channel" Goroh exclaimed surprised.
¨What channel? You are using the open line this entire time¨ said Falcon somewhat confused.
¨What?¨ Goroh said confused before checking and indeed he was using the open line. After remaining silent for a few seconds Goroh decided to continue with the conversation.
"That doesn't matter, ahem, what matters now is that you're mine, the road has run out" Goroh mentioned as he watched as they reached a dead end.
Falcon looked at this with a smile on his face, before pressing a button in his cockpit suddenly the blue Falcon began to float higher and higher until he literally began to fly through the air leaving a very confused Goroh.
"I wouldn't be so sure, good luck next time Goroh," Falcon said before flying off.
"That Falcon always making fun of me but when I get my hands on him-" but Goroh was interrupted when a crash alert sounded in his vehicle and he realized he was about to crash into the wall of the alley, Goroh tried to brake, but it was too late and his car crashed at top speed causing a huge explosion.
Falcon kept flying through the air on his way to his base, as he flew he thought about today's events.
"I knew this mode would be useful to me" Falcon thought as he looked down on the city on his way to its base.
After a while Falcon landed his vehicle in an alley and pressed a button suddenly the road in front of him split in two and he parked his vehicle inside, the road closed behind him again and the car went down into a giant advisory. to the base entrance.
Captain Falcon's secret base
Captain Falcon walked towards the main room, in this you could see several racing trophies on the shelves, all of them were first place, there was also a huge gold belt on top of the shelf.
Falcon sat in the control room and began to scroll through the news on the screen while he continued to think about today's events.
¨I hadn't had so much fun since the Grand Prix about 6 years ago¨ Falcon thought with some melancholy, the truth is that since he beat the two gods of creation in a race to obtain the undisputed champion belt, already nothing was a challenge for him, even the races had stopped giving him excitement.
Of course, at first he liked being the center of attention, but over time that left him empty, so one day he decided to retire from racing 3 years ago and return to the life of a bounty hunter to see if that would bring excitement back to his life. But that didnt work until today's chase all had been pretty boring.
¨Goroh mentioned that someone was looking for me, but who? ¨ Falcon wondered aloud, this was going to make it very difficult locating someone that didn't like him, hell it would be easier to find someone tha did.
While Falcon was searching the main computer for news to see if he could find anything about a price on his head or something suddenly the alarm went off in his base, there was an intruder.
¨An intruder!? Impossible!¨ The captain thought before checking the base's security cameras but they were turned off and they didn't work.
¨Someone has hacked the system¨ whispered the shocked captain that shouldn't be possible without him noticing, Damn no one could enter the base without him noticing, suddenly an explosion was heard behind him blowing up the door the room, Falcon quickly went into a defensive stance as he drew his pistol and aimed it at the room.
Coming out of the smoke from the explosion was a ball of dark blue energy, Falcon dodged it as the ball destroyed the mainframe also a metallic colored sphere shaped device headed towards him but Falcon also dodged it as the sphere collided with the ground and create a portal that quickly disappeared.
"Get out of there whoever you are, you owe me a 30 million dollar supercomputer" Falcon shouted
From the shadows a person with dark blue armor came out, it could not be identified if there was a man or a woman inside the armor, paying closer attention Falcon noticed that the armor had a cannon on his right arm, it also had organic parts it seemed half machine half human there were also blue lines around his body/armor.
¨No doubt you made an entrance, but it's time for you to respond to justice¨ saying this, the captain shot towards the creature that he simply dodged by gliding through the air without even touching the ground and counterattacked with several missiles.
This surprised Falcon who tried to dodge the missiles, but they began to follow him, seeing that he could not dodge them, Falcon shot the ceiling causing it to collapse and debris to fall in front of the missiles causing an explosion that sent him backwards recovering quickly Falcon decided to change space to a bigger one.
"Hey buddy try to catch me," Falcon said before running through a side door to the first floor where the huge race track was located below the main room.
The creature followed him shooting more missiles and Falcon destroyed them using the same technique until they finally reached the oval track, his opponent followed at high speed until they reached the middle of the track.
"Now! Before a good battle you always have to warm up" Falcon said before stretching his arms, but while he was stretching the creature shot another ball of energy that he had to skid off.
"Hey, it's rude to interrupt someone" saying this, Falcon launched himself with a kick towards the creature that dodged him, but Falcon continued with several attacks until he finally landed a few blows making his opponent back.
¨What did you think of that?¨ he exclaimed with a smile.
The creature just stared at him blankly saying nothing before dusting itself off and blue energy surrounded it and before Falcon realized what was happening the creature hit the ground with its cannon and large chunks of blue energy shot out. that looked like huge rock spikes below Falcon Knocking him into the air, then shot another ball of energy at him.
Falcon screamed as the ball hit him, but swallowed the pain and landed on his feet.
¨You took me by surprise, but don't think that would happen again¨ said this Captain falcon attacked with his Falcon Kick, launching a fire kick at high speed hitting the creature quickly hit the creature with a knee to its head, the Even so, the creature recovers quickly and in the movement that surprised Falcon it divided into 2, this left him stunned for a second, but he quickly regained his composure.
¨Wow, I guess I'll get serious then too¨ Said this, Falcon began to do fighting poses and stretching, after stretching, he extended his right hand and said:
"show me your moves" with a smile on his face.
The creature began to shoot missiles towards Falcon while his clone advanced at high speed towards him, Falcon just smiled and snapped his fingers, suddenly there was a sound in the distance and the walls trembled and the Blue Falcon came out behind the creature and his clone at high speed, Falcon jumped into the air and landed in the cockpit of his vehicle.
"How about a run you little monster, catch me if you can" Falcon yelled as he sped off at high speed.
Falcon thought that he had left the creature behind and concentrated on thinking of a plan, but he noticed how something was approaching in front of him at great speed, he noticed that it was some kind of giant purple dragon, the dragon landed on top of the blue falcon and with his claws he began to destroy the glass of the cabin, Falcon immediately activated his Fire Booster and the Blue Falcon accelerated to one more, catching fire hurting the dragon, but it did not let go of the vehicle.
Falcon tried to shake it off, but the dragon was persistent and clung to the blue falcon tightly, managing to break the glass of the cockpit exposing the captain, the dragon roared and tried to grab the captain, but this jump out of the vehicle the dragon followed after flying he, Falcon braced himself and charged his right fist, the dragon approached him with its claws, but Falcon was faster and hit him squarely.
¨Falcon Punch!¨ he shouted as he punched the dragon with all his might with his fist engulfed in flames in the shape of an eagle.
The punch generated a huge shock wave and the dragon fell to the ground defeated, Cap. Falcon landed on his feet and in style with a confident smile on his face as he looked at the fallen Dragon.
"And that's how it's done, heh, it's been a long time since I used that technique, I haven't lost touch" said Cap. Falcon proudly.
Then he heard something approaching at high speed and when he turned around he saw how the other creature was approaching along with his clone at high speed, Falcon got into a fighting pose and prepared to start the fight, but a voice sounded above him.
"What a human you were able to beat Ridley with a single blow I'm surprised" the voice mentioned.
Looking up Falcon saw that flying was what looked like a white humanoid alien with a large purple tail, the creature slowly descended to stand in front of him as the creature and its clone stopped beside him.
"Dark samus I'm surprised this job took you so long" the alien mentioned to the Dark samus creature at his side.
Dark samus was silent as always, the alien then raised his right hand pointing towards the dragon and it teleported behind him.
"Stay here with Ridley, I'll take care of him," the alien mentioned.

¨I only have one question, well two in fact¨ said Cap. Falcon seriously as he stared at the alien creature head on.
¨How do you speak without moving your mouth? Are you some kind of puppet or something?¨
¨What?¨ asked perplexed the 'alien'
"you're a puppet? Do you know what they are, right? I suppose there are some in space," asked Falcon.
¨Space?, what are you talking about?, do you think I'm an alien?¨ asked the being quite offended.
"Yes, or at least you look like one"
¨¨I am not an alien, I am Mewtwo the most powerful pokemon there is¨ Mewtwo introduced himself with pride while he levitated a little from the ground.

Mewtwo-? – Data not found
¨A Pokemon? So, that's what your alien race is called! ¨ said Falcon pointing at him.
"I'm not an alien! I'm a pokemon!" exclaimed Furious Mewtwo
"That sounds like something an alien would say," replied the captain.
"Enough of this stupidity" Mewtwo replied angrily before sighing and calming down.
"To answer your first human question, I communicate telepathically thanks to my psychic powers" Mewtwo replied.
Then cap. Falcon closed his eyes as he scratched his chin and thought for a moment then he stared back at Mewtwo.
"And what is your alien race looking for in me?" Falcon asked.
¨I'm not a- calm down, calm down, don't let him win¨ Mewtwo said as he breathed to calm down ¨Me and my companions are here to take you to my master¨
"Well tell your master I'm not interested," Falcon replied.
"I'm sorry, but you don't have a choice" Mewtwo said before starting to fly and activate his powers.
Ridley had recovered and growled, while Dark Samus and her clone readied their cannons, Falcon looked at all this a little nervous before preparing for the fight, but before anyone could move an orange spaceship flew in through the ceiling and He fired a laser at Mewtwo, who quickly formed a Psychic barrier to block it. The ship continued to fire at Mewtwo, Ridley, and Dark Samus.
Falcon looked stunned at this fact, not knowing what to do. The ship flew at high speed and fired lightning at Falcon who could not dodge it, but instead of hurting him, the lightning attracted him towards the ship at high speed until he entered the ship. once this the ship began to flee the place.
"Do not Let him escape!" Mewtwo exclaimed as he tried to use his Psychic powers to stop the ship but for some reason he couldn't use them, Ridley however flew at high speed after the ship.
"Dark Samus go back to the base, me and Ridley will catch them" Mewtwo said before flying after them.
inside the spaceship
Captain Falcon was a little dizzy as he got up from the ground, he looked around and saw that he was in what seemed to be the main room.
"It's good to see that you're okay," said a female voice behind him.
Turning around, Captain Falcon saw a blonde woman wearing a tight blue spandex bodysuit, whom he recognized immediately.
¨Samus! Long time no see¨ I exclaimed happily before going to greet her.
"Happy to see you, Captain" said Samus in a mocking tone as she approached to greet him.

"Good to see you, but what are you doing here? I haven't seen you since the tournament about 10 years ago" asked Falcon.
"10 years? For me it was only a few months" Samus mentioned before walking towards the cabin of the ship.
¨A few months?, but that can't be¨ whispered Cap. Falcon as he followed her.
"Yes, I supposed that time in our worlds passes differently, but that doesn't matter, I'm here because we need help" Samus said as she disconnected the autopilot and piloted the ship.
"Well of course I'll help, but what do you mean we?" Falcon asked confused before getting into the passenger seat.
"To our other friends of the tournament of course" Samus said, but at that moment the alarms sounded and the screen showed Mewtwo and Ridley following them at high speed.
"But first, we have to get rid of them, hold on" said Samus before accelerating the ship into space.
