Author's Note:

In anticipation of Pokemon Sun and Moon being released today (or tomorrow, depending on where you live at and what your time zone is), I've made this episode dedicated to the new Pokemon games. Not all the new Pokemon will be featured, though the main human characters save for the ones from Team Skull and the Aether Foundation will make an appearance. Keep in mind that the island kahunas and trial captains will all be called kahunas, since I'm still trying to distinguish the difference between the two. Now for some guest reviews:

"One question: What's with Corrin? Has he gone through the events of Fates yet, or did he already go through them, and if so which path did he take?"

We'll just say that Corrin went through the Conquest path, since he got to stick with his Nohrian siblings. We'll leave it at that. Kirby 123 has returned, with yet another Kirby suggestion:

"How about you show people in the mansion how powerful Kirby is like a strength competition? I mean Kirby has capability to crack a planet in half and throw a ******* giant frying pan with a monster to ******* sun and back meaning he is very powerful! p.s. I pretty sure Kirby is a good cook so maybe him cooking or help cooking with peach... he probably eat all the food though."

The next episode in Smash Life will be a Thanksgiving special of sorts, so we'll get to see Kirby cooking Thanksgiving dinner or something like that. The strength competition will have to be on hold until further notice. Last but not least, we have 0300:

"I feel really weird today so I decided to come up with two characters names and a word that the chapter (might not) revolve around. Corrin and Pit, peanuts. I'm interested to see what you come up with."

I'll see what I can do with Pit and Corrin and...peanuts. Got a lot to think about. Moving on:

"Now with an actual plot suggestion:Do you think you could have Sonic ask Knuckles make a mixtape about Sonic's love for Amy because it's part of his social norms thing?"

Yeah I could possibly pull that one off, what with Sonic and Amy now on the same page, and we haven't seen Sonic act like his typical self in a good while. Haven't touched on Sonic's social norms mentality for a considerable amount of time.


Episode 48: TeamRocket

Mario and Master Hand both waited outside the Smash Mansion, with Mario checking his watch. Both the plumber and the giant hand were expecting a huge addition to the mansion to come, an addition everyone's a bit excited for. As you may already know, Pokemon Sun and Moon was being released this week, and the native Pokemon of the Alolan region were coming to the Smash Mansion, to live in the mansion's Pokemon sanctuary.

Unlike most Pokemon in generation's past, this generation of Pokemon is a lot more diverse. You got your regular Pokemon, who are...well, just regular Pokemon. Then you have your four guardian deities - Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, and Tapu Fini - that guard the islands of Alola. And last but not least, you have your Ultra Beasts - creatures that may or may not be full-fledged Pokemon. Only the regular Pokemon will be occupying the Smash Mansion.

"Professor Kukui and his assistant should-a be arriving soon with-a the kahunas," Mario notified Master Hand as the wait prolonged. "There-a are seven kahunas in total coming, each one delegated-a to their own island."

"Um, don't you mean 'gym leaders', is kahuna supposed to be a Hawaiian term for gym leader or something?" questioned Master Hand, obviously not that well-versed in the realm of Pokemon. Mario had to do some last-night research on Pokemon so he wouldn't look like a total noob in front of Kukui and company. "And why are there only four of them, shouldn't there be eight? Are we missing one?"

"First off, Alola doesn't-a have gym leaders, they have kahunas that are-a in charge of Pokemon-related challenges. And I do think-a we're down one kahuna, though Kukui contacted me via phone and told-a me only seven kahunas were coming with-a him."

Cilan: I am more than excited that the mansion is receiving more Pokemon! Back in my home region of Unova, we don't have Pokemon from other regions like Kanto and Sinnoh, it's only the native Pokemon that reside in Unova. It's also a major reason why Bowser accused me and everyone else in Unova of being sheltered when I told him I never saw a Poliwhirl in person before prior to entering the Pokemon sanctuary.

Soon a bus arrived, making its stop at the front of the mansion. A tanned, shirtless man wearing a Pokemon cap, glasses, a lab coat, and some sweatpants stepped off of the bus, and accompanying him was a young blonde girl wearing a white hat and dress, and a big old dude wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

"Mario, Master Hand, what's up my dudes?" the man in the lab coat greeted the plumber and the giant hand, surprising them both with his contagious charisma, a trait you'd be hard-pressed to find in other Pokemon professors. "The name's Professor Kukui, and it's a great pleasure to meet you both."

"Likewise, I can already tell-a we're building some great-a chemistry..." Mario happily shook Kukui's hand while seething inside, taking notice of the Pokemon professor's six-pack. Enough motivation for the plumber to get a six-pack of his own. "Why don't you introduce-a us to the blonde lass, and that guy-a in that Hawaiian shirt?"

"Ah yes, the young blonde lady in the white dress is my lovely assistant, Lillie, who's working for me for her own personal reasons. The man in the Hawaiian shirt is Hala, one of Alola's kahunas. The other kahunas will be coming out of the bus shortly, once they gather all the Poke balls."

"It's truly great that we could give a portion of Alola - our precious Pokemon - to this wonderful Smash Mansion!" remarked Hala; he won't think of the mansion as so wonderful if he were to live in it for an entire week. One full week and Ema Skye, who was invited to stay at the mansion, is now on her last nerve, having to put with so many colorful personalities on a daily basis. "Sorry we couldn't bring over the guardian deities - the islands must be guarded at all costs!"

"Yet you're fine with other Pokemon trainers catching the deities and using them on their adventures..." Lillie rolled her eyes at Hala. "But when I want to catch one, you and Kukui always talk me out of it..."

"...there are some things a Pokemon trainer can do that a Pokemon assistant cannot. Also, did you not say that you were against Pokemon battles? You wouldn't want one of the guardian deities to be your housemaid, would you?" After Halu's response, Lillie grumpily folded her arms. As stated, this chick dislikes Pokemon battles - in fact, she would rather read books than engage in an exciting Pokemon duel.

"Alright you two, enough chit-chat, let's release the Pokemon!" Kukui headed to the bus and entered through the bus door...before noticing that something was terribly, terribly wrong. "Hala, you did say that your grandson Hau was coming along for the trip, right?"

"He told me he wanted to go at the last minute," Hala confirmed, nodding his head. "We didn't leave him behind, did we? I remember doing a roll call before we had departed, he should be here by all means!"

Hala: Hau is my dear grandson, he's a bit of an aspiring Pokemon trainer. We held a huge ceremony for him in celebration of the beginning of what will be a great, prosperous Pokemon training career! Call it a "rebirth", if you will...

"All the kahunas out of the bus, front and center, don't worry about the Poke balls!" ordered Kukui, as the professor stepped out of the bus. The kahunas on the bus - Iliama, Lana, Mallow, Sophocles, Kiwae, Olivia - stepped out as well.

"Who is the mustached weirdo dressed up as Mario, is that really Mario himself?" Sophocles pointed at a now angered Mario. That's no way to talk to a world-famous video game character!

"Mario should be the least of your concerns! As you may know, Hau traveled with us to the Smash Mansion, and yet for some reason, he's absolutely nowhere to be found! He was on the bus when we arrived..."

"He must have sneaked out of the bus when no one was looking and sneaked inside the Smash Mansion undetected," assumed Lana. If that's the case, then how Hau get past the mansion's security system? "I know he hasn't gone that far, though he is quite the adventurous one, I will admit..."

"I was fearful this might have happened, wherever Hau is I sure hope he's safe..." Halu frowned, though his eyebrows make it seem like he's always frowning. The mythical abilities of bushy eyebrows!


Spying on Mario and company from as far away from the Smash Mansion as possible was Team Rocket - no, not the villainous team in its entirety. The trio of Jessie, James, and Meowth, who in case you weren't aware, exist in both the anime and the games. Bet you didn't know that, did you?

"The famous Mario and the Smash universe creator Master Hand is talking to Alola's Pokemon professor as he speak!" Meowth said to Jessie and James, spying through a pair of hi-tech binoculars. Yes, the Meowth from the games can speak human language, it's better that way. "When are they gonna send out the Alolan Pokemon already, we didn't come all the way here for nothing! We have Pokemon to nab other than Pikachu!"

"Heard there's an Alolan form of Raichu, wouldn't that be better than a lousy Pikachu?" inquired James, garnering weird looks from Jessie and Meowth. "Why are you looking at me like that, an Alolan Raichu would be stronger, and more powerful, don't you think?"

"A Pikachu has been our main target, no need to go after its evolved form!" stated Jessie, slapping James silly. Sometimes she has to be the voice of reason in her group. "Once we capture a Pikachu, we'll then go after the Alolan Pokemon, and bring them to the boss!"

James: Despite the high amount of attention they get from the media and major publications, Pikachus are actually a pretty rare species in general. Catching a Pikachu in the Viridian Forest is like finding a half-dollar coin at the bottom of the fountain!
Jessie: A special kind of Pikachu resides in the mansion, living among the other brawlers. The mansion is heavily populated, and we can't raise as much suspicion as possible with our Team Rocket uniforms, so we must need the perfect disguises to get in and grab that Pikachu!
Meowth: After we capture the Pikachu, we'll then capture the Alolan Pokemon, and bring them to our boss, Giovanni! He'll be so impressed by our hard work, he'll be all like, "My goodness, not only did this trio capture Pikachu, but they also captured the Alolan Pokemon as well, I never should have doubted them!" I can already see the gleeful smile on his face...


Inside the mansion, the residents were getting things clean and tidy for Professor Kukui and company when they enter the mansion. In fact, Mr. Game and Watch was the only resident getting things clean and tidy for Professor Kukui and company when they enter the mansion; everyone else was doing their own thing. For example, Ema Skye, a temporary mansion resident, was conducting research on the Heartless and a villainous group known as the Organization XIII, and she was listening to a story from Captain Falcon, who had reportedly witnessed a strange being in the fitness center.

"It was dark, with yellow eyes, and it had a human-like structure..." the racer explained the creature he had saw to Ema, who was nodding her head at every remark Falcon had said. "Not to mention that it also had this crooked antennae, and large hands with claw-like fingers! Part of me wanted to ask the creature if it was a girl or not, but I didn't want to risk my safety!" Was Captain Falcon so desperate for love that he would go as far as asking out a presumed Heartless?

"Okay Falcon, you do realize that the creature you described is probably genderless, right?" asked Ema, causing the racer to snap his fingers in disgust. "However, it does sound a like Heartless, and a species new to the mansion, I'm assuming...follow me, Captain Falcon, I want you to make a drawing of this Heartless, so I can put it in my records."

So Captain Falcon followed Ema into the elevator and up to the fifth floor, where the forensics expert would take the racer to Star Records room, where Fox and Falco were present. Little Mac and Doc Louis were also present, with the former punching away on a poor punching bag.

"Found a new breed of Heartless?" Fox asked as he walked towards Ema, placing his blaster in his pocket, with Falco following him. "Give us the 4-1-1!" At Ema's command, Captain Falcon would describe the Heartless he had seen to the Star Fox pilots, while adding the part where he wanted to ask if the Heartless was a girl or not. Something both Fox and Falco felt Captain Falcon should have kept to himself; now they think of the racer as more desperate than usual.

"My man Little Mac will take out this Heartless threat with a quick two-piece!" stated Doc Louis, believing his protege will be a Heartless slayer. Evidently he believes Little Mac can do everything, like run for president; Donald Trump thought he could do that, and look at what happened, he's living the dream...only time will tell if Kanye West can live his dream as president of the United States.

"Thanks for the talk Doc, but I seriously think it'll take more than just me to defeat the Heartless," said Little Mac. Gotta give the man credit for keeping it real, which Doc Louis is apparently incapable of.

Doc Louis: The Heartless infiltrating the mansion is a situation that cannot be taken lightly. Aerith passed some information to Fox and Falco that the boys passed on to us, stating how the Heartless are after hearts! Let me tell ya, I got heart surgery on my heart, so I'm clear!
Little Mac: What happens if a Heartless takes your heart, would you die right on the spot? Is that why they're called Heartless, because they yearn for hearts and they have to steal human hearts in order to feel complete? How would that be possible, when they don't even have a single body system!

"Thank you Little Mac, for telling it how it is, unlike Doc Louis who sadly lives in his own world of delusion..." thanked Ema as she took out a slip of paper, infuriating Doc. "...anyways, Captain Falcon will draw a picture of the Heartless to the best of his ability, so we'll be on the lookout if we ever see it." Falcon took the slip of paper and drew a picture the Heartless he had seen with an ink pen, drawing on the Star Records desk. He didn't have to be a Pablo Picasso, he just needed to make a drawing that could be easily interpreted by others...

"Ta-da, here you are folks, one great-lookin' drawing of the Heartless I had seen!" the racer presented the drawing to Ema and company. It matched his description of the Heartless - dark skin, yellow eyes (though they're white), large hands, claw-like fingers, and a human-like body. Only problem was the words at the bottom: "FUTURE GIRLFRIEND/WIFE". Fox and Falco had no choice but to laugh at Captain Falcon's drawing, just because of that one delusional line.

"Captain Falcon, for the LAST TIME, Heartless don't have any genders, they're genderless creatures who are only interested in taking hearts! Are you that thirsty for a significant other to the point where you're flat-out stupid?!"

"Hey Captain Falcon, we're about to have another Romance Club meeting, it starts in five minutes!" Geno's voice sounded from behind the door. "Are you coming or not? Marth would be greatly displeased with you if you didn't!"

"Now's not the time to prove my intelligence to you, duty calls!" Captain Falcon remarked to Ema as he headed out of the Star Records room. "Just keep on keeping on, and stay fresh!" After his two-finger salute, Falcon exited the room for good and headed down to the Romance Club, where he would likely annoy his fellow members with his antics.


The doorbell rang, indicating that someone was at the door. Mario, who was already going over things with Professor Kukui and company in the foyer, answered the front door to see who it was, and saw Jessie, James, and Meowth...all three in disguises. Jessie and James were dressed up as reporters, and Meowth was dressed up as their cameraman. Yet Mario didn't seem to be unfazed by how short Meowth was, or how distinctively cat-like he looked compared to his compadres. Could be that the plumber had seen far too many anthropomorphic individuals in his lifetime to question anything.

"Uh, hello, Mario sir, we are a reporter-cameraman trio from a local television station, and we wish to take a peek inside the Smash Mansion and receive a tour of this fine establishment!" said Jessie, while Mario looked on, somewhat confused. "...basically we're doing a cover story on the mansion, if you don't mind."

Jessie: Our reporter get-up shouldn't fail, it's hard for anyone to see through it!
James: Jessie's right, we've tried it out on a few Team Rocket grunts, and it took them forever to find out it was us! Though to be fair, evil grunts are exactly the brightest bunch...
Meowth: And that's why our boss gives us the most high-stakes missions, we're the sharpest tools in the shed!...Why are you laughing?!

"I dunno, Master Hand typically doesn't allow-a persons from local television-a stations inside the mansion, and we already have-a visitors..." Mario mused over the offer; apparently he sees the faux reporters as nothing but good people. Ash Ketchum has fallen victim to Team Rocket's ploys one too many times, and apparently his travelling buddies fall for it to. Perhaps travelling with him made them as stupid as he was. "...but I can't possibly say-a no to such an offer, you're welcome to come-a in!" Jessie, James, and Meowth smiled as they entered the Smash Mansion, but it wouldn't take long before Mario had to establish some rules. "Just so you-a know, you can't speak with the Alolan-a folks yet, I still have some-a business to conduct with them. But no-a worries, I got you all covered...Isabelle, can you come down-a to the foyer please?"

In a jiffy, Isabelle came running down the steps, happy to serve Mario as evidenced by the wagging of her tail when she arrived. Oh, how Team Rocket wished she was a newly discovered Pokemon...

"How may I serve you, sir Mario?" the shih tzu happily asked the plumber, who immediately pointed at Team Rock...erm, the reporting trio, who were waiting by. "Came here to do a story on the Smash Mansion? Come with me, I'll show you everything we need to see!"

"One step closer to finding that Pikachu..." James quietly said to his teammates as Isabelle led them throughout the mansion, the shih tzu not knowing that the three she's doing a tour with are evil villains.

"Before we go off to the Pokemon sanctuary, let's make sure we have all the Poke balls..." Lillie looked inside the sack full of Poke balls, before panicking when she saw one Poke ball already open. "Oh no, one of the Pokemon escaped, this is not good at all!"

"Surely it's only a harm-a less Pokemon, one on the same-a caliber as a Magikarp," reassured Mario. There he goes, applying his Pokemon knowledge...before his rigorous Pokemon study, the plumber thought Blissey was the most worthless Pokemon ever, and he was just going off by its name!

"Whatever the Pokemon is, it better show up soon," said Hala. "Just like my grandson..." Let's see what Hala's grandson, Hau, could possibly be up to, shall we?


"Glad that you two like my malasadas - they're a popular Alolan treat!" the aspiring Pokemon trainer was in the mansion's cafe, where Pit and Kirby were chomping away on the malasadas (egg-sized dough deep-fried in oil and coated with sugar) he had brought along for the trip. Watching from afar was X, who was wondering how Hau got inside the mansion while breezing by the security system...was the system even on?

X: Security system's been acting up all day...one moment it would be working just fine, and the next it would go down in an instant and stop cooperating. While it was down, that kid over there sneaked inside the mansion undetected, and befriended Pit. I've tried asking Samus for assistance, but frankly she doesn't know what to do...

Samus: *sitting in a chair in the workshop* Hijacking the Shovel Knight arcade game and using it to disrupt the security system was totally worth it... *leans back in the chair with her arms behind her head* Nothing like some good ol' payback...

"Do you have any more of these malasalads or whatever, they taste awesome!" Pit chirped, rubbing his stomach. Malasalads, he said, malasalads...

"I would give you some more...if your friend didn't suck up every single one of them," replied Hau, adjusting the hairband on his hair. "But frankly someone had to eat them, and you two definitely helped yourselves!"

"Poyo poyo poyo!" exclaimed Kirby, wanting more malasadas too. That pink puffball's hunger cannot be stopped...also was he using profanity words and/or street slang? With Kirby, it's oftentimes hard to tell...

"Hey Pit, who's your new friend?" Sonic entered the cafe to ask the angel. "Don't ever recall seeing him before, is he new? He does know who I am, does he? If he doesn't, then we're gonna have some very difficult complications..."

"This is Hau, he hails from the Alolan region, and his father is a well-respected Pokemon trainer," Pit introduced Hau to Sonic, who nodded thoughtfully at this information - information that the hedgehog will most likely wind up forgetting eventually. "He gave Kirby and I some malasadas, and boy were they great!"

"Sure don't know what these malasadas, but judging by the name, it must sound pretty tasty! You do have a few more malasades with you, do you Hau?"

"Sadly I don't, Pit and Kirby ate up all the malasadas I had left...but I know the recipe to make them. We can bake some in the kitchen, provided we have the necessary materials." Don't worry Hau, this is the Smash Mansion, they have everything you want or need and more in their kitchen.


Lucario was doing his daily yoga routine, doing yoga in the peace and comfort of the dancing room. It's a room rarely used by anyone, due to a poignant lack of bona fide dancers in the mansion, which makes it the perfect place for the aura Pokemon to get his yoga in. Lucario's peace and comfort would be momentarily interrupted when...

"Lucario we have no time, we need you immediately!" Cloud burst inside the dancing room and grabbed the aura Pokemon's hand before dragging him out. "I just got a text from Mario that an Alolan Pokemon broke out of its Poke ball, and with you on board, we can hunt it down and bring it to the Pokemon sanctuary."

Cloud: What kinda sucks about finding the Pokemon is that we don't know what it looks like, or how strong it is. So we'll just have to look for whatever creature we haven't seen in the mansion before, and assume that it's a Pokemon, and bring it to the mansion right away. Pretty much what King Dedede does with food - he would see food conspiciously lying somewhere, assume that it's his, and bring said food to his room where he would eat it in privacy...you wouldn't believe the amount of uneaten pizza slices I found in his room looking for my Materia.

"Who is this 'we' that you speak of?" questioned Lucario, and soon enough, he and Cloud arrived in a room with Link and Mewtwo. In Link's hand was the empty Poke ball. And in Mewtwo's hand was...well, nothing really.

"Glad you could be here Lucario," Mewtwo said to the aura Pokemon, who didn't want to be here at all but had no other choice. "I'm sure Cloud has informed you about the Pokemon on the loose in the mansion, is that correct?"

"Uh, yes, yes he has. I had no prior knowledge of the situation until Cloud mentioned it to me." Lucario had expected to see some of the Alolan Pokemon today, but not in this fashion. "Link, why do you have an empty Poke ball, when Cloud said we're just bringing the Pokemon to the sanctuary?"

"Because I...well I have no idea, to be honest with you," was the Hylian's reply. He placed the Poke ball on the floor. "Could have been used as a part of a backup plan, but I suppose not..."

"Anyways, it is highly imperative that we find the rouge Pokemon before it harms someone," Mewtwo continued. "Especially when we have visitors over from..."

Suddenly a loud scream was heard; Mewtwo and company were able to distinguish Wii Fit Trainer's voice. So they headed off the where the workout warrior was, in the middle of the hallway confronted by a black humanoid creature with yellow eyes, funny-looking antennae, claw-like fingers, and large hands and feet. Sound familiar?

"Could one of you boys please get this thing away from me?!" Wii Fit Trainer asked the four men, and right on cue, the Flying Man would leap to action as he flew to the scene, standing between the black creature and Wii Fit Trainer.

"Why rely on those bums, when you can count on the mighty Flying Man to save the day!" the mythical beast exclaimed, prompting Mewtwo, Link, Cloud, and Lucario to roll their eyes in disgust. Vintage Flying Man at its finest. "I am your courage, no challenge is too big for I!"

Unable to take the Flying Man's crap anymore, the black creature tackled the mythical beast to the ground, punching him in the face for good measure. The Flying Man would just lie there on the floor, nursing his wounds.

Mewtwo: The Flying Man called me a bum... *eye twitches* Me, the most powerful Psychic-type Pokemon in the world, a bum... *shudders*

With the Flying Man now down for the count, Link quickly leaped to action, tackling the creature to the floor and holding its hands behind its back, like he was arresting it. And apparently that's what the Hylian did, when he pulled out handcuffs from his pocket and cuffed the creature. Link would get up and turn around, seeing Cloud, Mewtwo, and Lucario giving him weird looks.

"What's so wrong with me putting someone under arrest, don't think I would be a great police officer or something?" frowned Link. What swordsman would be a great policeman, has Link ever wielded a gun outside of a Smash battle?

"We're just surprised that you even had handcuffs on you to begin with," remarked Cloud, learning new things about his best friend. "But we're not gonna question you, we'll just let it pass, right guys?" Mewtwo and Lucario both nodded their heads, albeit with some slight hesitation.

"Thank you so much for saving me Link, I shall make it up to you later today!" Wii Fit Trainer thanked the hero of Hyrule. "So what are you and your boys gonna do with that ant-like fiend on the floor?" The ant-like thing in question (a.k.a. the black creature Link tackled to the floor, in case you weren't keeping up) was trying to break from from the handcuffs around his hands, but to no avail. Link really had those things locked on tight.

"Must be an Alolan Pokemon, Mario did say one was on the lose in the mansion," Link answered as he helped the black creature, the presumed Pokemon up on its feet. "He never did say what it looked like or anything, so this must be the one. What do you think, Mewtwo?"

"Does it look like I belong in the Alolan region?" the Psychic Pokemon rudely remarked. Don't expect him to apologize to Link for his rudeness, though Link has grown to accept the rudeness as a part of Mewtwo's personality. "Except maybe for the starter Pokemon, I have no knowledge of the Alolan Pokemon, nor would I bother knowing any Pokemon from this region."

"We'll take this Pokemon to the sanctuary, where it will be kept away from the brawlers," Lucario said as he and the others walked with with the presumed Pokemon in their grasp. Is it really a Pokemon, or is it something else...?


Doc Louis: Still trying to wrap my head around this whole Heartless concept...are these shadow beings former lovers who had their hearts ripped out (figuratively) by their significant other, who either cheated on them or had a nasty breakup with them? What about the others types of Heartless that wear helmets and whatnot, do they feel so naked from not being loved that they need to clothe themselves? Am I looking into this matter too much?

Doc Louis remained in the Star Records room with Little Mac, Fox, Falco, and Ema Skye, when there was a knock at the door. At first, Ema thought Captain Falcon was coming back just to flirt with her (like he has been over the course of the week), and instantly feared for the worst.

"Hello, do you guys mind if I come in?" Zelda's voice sounded from behind the door, and Ema immediately let out a sigh of relief. "Think I found another Heartless, just wanted you guys to verify it..."

"Come right on in and we'll take a close inspection of it," said Fox. Zelda entered the room, holding a chimera by a leash. It had bird-like hands, a fish-like tail, and a strange-looking head which looked like an axe was stuck in it; all in all, it was the likes in which nobody in the Star Records room has ever seen.

"Bruh I need a picture of this!" Falco whipped out his phone and took a picture of the chimera, like it was nigh important. "Looks pretty scary too, I could scare the crap out of Lucina with this, she's a pretty easy person to scare!"

"Hmm, it looks like a Heartless to me, has a very unique design and all..." Ema knelt down at the chimera, analyzing its appearance and nature. The chimera just looked into Ema's eyes, looking into her soul... "I wouldn't risk harming it since we don't know if it's a legitimate Heartless or not, but we'll keep it in this room so it'll be safe..."

"It sure isn't acting hostile, that's for sure," examined Doc Louis while Little Mac continued his relentless attack on the punching bag. "Could be one of the more peaceful Heartless...where did you find this chimera-looking thing, Zelda?"

"In the laundry room, rummaging through the clothes in the laundry basket," replied Zelda, also taking notice of how peaceful the chimera was. Most Heartless are accustomed to attacking others, but this presumed Heartless, it wasn't attacking anyone. "We should probably get Link's consensus before we could declare the chimera as a Heartless..."


Sonic, Pit, and Hau were in the kitchen, making some malasadas with Hau's assistance. Guess who was their chaperone? Kirby, the lovable pink puffball! Don't take his cuteness lightly, Kirby is a master chef when it comes down to it, as he can cook just about anything his heart pleases.

"I can already tell that these malasadas are gonna be slammin'!" Sonic exclaimed before drinking an entire bottle of oil by himself, and when he was done and he was wiping his mouth and all that stuff, he saw Pit, Hau, and Kirby staring at him. "What, you guys wanted some too? My bad, sometimes I just can't help myself!"

Hau: I feel pretty bad for running out of the bus like that, bet my grandpa and the others are worried sick about me...but on a positive note, I got to make some new friends, and see what this mansion is made of! I'll have so many stories to tell my friends once I return to Alola!

"Um, Sonic, we were supposed to use that oil to deep-fry the dough," stated Pit, wondering if Sonic somehow forgot how the recipe works. Moreover, what rational person drinks oil like Sonic just did? "Do we have any oil left for deep-frying?"

"We have this bottle of peanut oil, though I'm not sure how it would work with the malasadas," Hau grabbed a bottle of peanut oil, holding it up for the others to see. "It wouldn't hurt to try it out!" So Hau poured some of the peanut oil in the deep-fryer, and as he did so, Toad walked in the kitchen to see what the boys were cooking.

"Making some malasadas with your new friends?" the plausible drug lord asked Hau; he was one of the first residents to meet Hau, and try out one of his malasadas.

"Sure am, just carrying on an Alolan tradition!" Just then, something important popped up in Hau's head. "If you see my grandpa, tell him that I will meet up with him and the others shortly. You do know what he looks like, right? He's old, has these tan shorts..."

"I do believe I saw Mario speaking with him earlier. I shall notify him right away!" Toad scurried out of the kitchen, and he wouldn't get that far before X came up to him, still bitter about the security system malfunctioning. The robot's been looking for a remedy, but the issue has yet to be resolved.

"Hey Toad, can you go to Samus and tell her to meet with me outside?" X asked Toad, the drug lord who refuses to come clean. "The security system hasn't been acting normal lately, and we can't afford any intruders to waltz inside the mansion and stir up some trouble. You remember what happened the Friday before the Super Bowl? Some boxer went inside the mansion undetected and messed with Little Mac, forgot what his name was..."

"You can always count on me!" Toad saluted the robot as he dutifully walked away.


"And this here is the gaming room, where all the residents spend some quality time together and have fun!" Isabelle showed Team Rocket, dressed up as as reporters, around the gaming room. Jessie and James were writing down notes, though these notes did not pertain to the Smash Mansion in any way; they were just giving away the false narrative that they were paying attention to whatever Isabelle was showing them. For instance, James was writing, "Must buy new alarm clock", on his notepad; let's hope that Isabelle doesn't see his or Jessie's notepad.

Jessie: We've been in this cruddy mansion for what seems like forever, and still no sign of the Pikachu! Our mission would be a failure if we don't capture that lousy Pokemon!
James: A Pichu lives at this mansion, right? Why don't we catch the Pichu, and level it up to a Pikachu?
Meowth: You and your zany ideas...everyone knows Pichu can only level up with high friendship! You honestly think we would show friendship to some lousy Pichu? Give me a break!

"Shulk you don't have to smile so hard, you're over-exaggerating a little bit," Fiora grinned at Shulk, who was smiling as hard as he possibly could as he waved to the camera Meowth was holding. Too bad the scratch cat Pokemon isn't recording - the camera's not even on!

"But Fiora, I might end up on the local news," Shulk said through his teeth, his large smile still present. Darn shame the Homs' minuscule dream won't come true.

"Pika pika!" the cry of Pikachu was heard, and Team Rocket got all excited. The precious Pokemon they're supposed to capture was nearby, and it seemed like a great opportunity to ditch the reporter gig and nab the mouse Pokemon before it was too late. However, they would have to give up the act at a reasonable time, only when it was necessary.

"Isabelle, I hope you don't mind asking us this, but can you show us Pikachu?" Jessie asked out of fake courtesy. "We're both huge Pokemon fans, and seeing Pikachu in person would make our trip to this mansion complete..."

"He's over there in case you want to see him," Isabelle pointed over to the far corner of the gaming room, where Pikachu was being petted by Rosalina. The mouse Pokemon was sitting in Rosalina's lap, soaking in every moment of the petting. Sometimes it's great being a Pokemon.

"Jackpot..." Meowth snarled as he pressed a button on his digital camera; a hookshot was fired out of the lens, and it grabbed Pikachu, reeling the mouse Pokemon towards Meowth. Everyone in the gaming stop whatever they were doing the moment Pikachu was captured, all taking hold of the reporters, who weren't reporters at all.

"What the...what is going on, please explain immediately!" ordered Isabelle, as Team Rocket threw away their reporter garb. It was now time for their motto, a motto they apparently have been rehearsing for a certain amount of time...

"Team Rocket, blasting off at the speed of light!" Jessie said as she was closing out the song, which you might know already and hold dear to your hearts. Also, how ironic that line was...

"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!" James chimed in, uttering his last line of Team Rocket's motto. Like Team Rocket has ever won a fight to begin with...

"Meowth, that's right!" the scratch cat Pokemon finished off the motto with these three words. He, Jessie, and James all struck a pose, with James holding a rose in his hand like he's supposed to be romantic or something.

Meowth: Our beloved motto is perhaps our finest staple, we've been perfecting it for the longest now. Whenever we say our motto to our foes, we expect to strike the utmost fear in them...

"Woo, bravo, nice effort you guys, ten out of ten!" Olimar clapped for Team Rocket, irking them with his commendation. Some of the others clapped too, irking the three evildoers even more. Not the reaction Team Rocket expected to get out of everyone; they were kinda expecting someone to exclaim "Team Rocket?!" in amazement after having been bamboozled by their disguises. Happened to Ash Ketchum so many times, it's almost pitiful...

"Forget you guys, we got exactly what we came here for, and our business is done!" said James. "Ciao!" He, Jessie, and Meowth stormed out of the gaming room, with the Pikachu in their grasp.

"Oh no, Team Rocket got away with poor Pikachu!" panicked Isabelle. "How did I not see this sooner..." Now she knew how Ash Ketchum felt that one time...and that other time...and that other time...and that other time...


"You wanted to speak with me outside, yes?" Samus met with X in the mansion's backyard, near the Duck Hunt Dog's doghouse. "Make it snappy, I got things to accomplish, you know..."

"The security system, did you hijack it or something?" X questioned the bounty hunter; why he's so worked up over a lousy security system? "I know you were behind it Samus, don't try and hide it from me!" Rather than "amusing" X, Samus decided to fess up.

"Alright, it was me, I was the one who disrupted the system - I had hot-wired the Shovel Knight arcade machine to the system, and did a little something-something that pretty much caused the system to go completely bonkers. No biggie..."

"But why would you want to do that for, intruders could sneak inside the mansion and do crazy stuff!" Eh, the mansion residents have done far crazier things in the past.

"Nice work genius, that's why I did it - since you're the main one responsible for installing the security system, you would take the blame for any intruders that sneak inside and do reckless things. Which makes for the perfect retribution for that bet..."

Master Hand: My precious Shovel Knight game, it's currently out of order! This is horrible, I practically bought the game just to fund for my dream Lamborghini! What am I supposed to do now, have Diddy Kong tap dance on the street for cold hard cash?! *pauses thoughtfully* You know, that's not such a bad idea when you think about it...

X's phone - the phone programmed inside his wrist - rang, and it was a call from Isabelle. Team Rocket was about to make a run out of the mansion with Pikachu, but with the security system down, the evildoers could actually get the job done...something their anime counterparts can't ever do.

"Help me turn the security system back on and we're even," the pacifist robot said to Samus. "Do we have a deal?" As much as she wanted X to pay, Samus couldn't afford X to be ostracized by Master Hand for wrongdoing; she wouldn't wish that fate on any soul.

"Follow me to the arcade room," Samus replied, leading the way. "Turning the system back on won't be a very difficult task, in all honesty."


"This has-a been a very great day all-around," Mario spoke with Professor Kukui and company outside the entrance to the Pokemon sanctuary, after they moved all but one Alolan Pokemon into said sanctuary. "The Alolan Pokemon will-a be a great addition to the Smash-a Mansion, and I'm sure-a the residents will be excited-a about having new Pokemon! Before you all-a go, I want you to meet-a someone who's well-a versed in Pokemon, a bit of a Pokemon fanatic...ladies and-a gentlemen, Red!"

Red the Pokemon Trainer would sheepishly come around the corner, greeting everyone with a wave. No longer was he a ten year old boy - Red was now a thirty year old man who apparently dresses up as a ten year old boy. Some things will never change...

"Pleasure to meet ya Red, heard a lot of great things about you!" Kukui shook Red's hand, surprised to see how mature the Pokemon trainer looked, clothing choice notwithstanding.

"Yeah I kinda get that a lot..." responded Red, surprised Kukui didn't mention Blue's name. Oh how he despised that name...Red would then formally greet the others, as Hala, Lillie, and the kahunas gave the Pokemon trainer his props.

"Hey Mario, we finally found the runaway Pokemon!" Link called out as he, Cloud, Mewtwo, and Lucario came forth with the black creature, still cuffed with his hands behind his back. The kahunas looked at one another, very wearily, for they have never seen the creature before, and Link sensed their facial expressions. "Is there something wrong?"

"Um, fellas, I hate to break it to ya, but...that's not a Pokemon," stated Kukui, and that's when Link and company instantly knew that they dun goofed up.

Mewtwo: Actually, I knew that black creature wasn't a Pokemon - in fact, I know all of the Alolan Pokemon, from the starters to the legendaries. I just wanted to see if Link, Cloud, and Lucario were keeping up with their Pokemon knowledge...and they all failed me.

The black creature would break out of the handcuffs, scaring everyone as it looked left and right for a viable prey. And it would find one, in a short man wearing overalls and white gloves.

"Mama mia!" Mario shrieked as the black creature grabbed the plumber and ran away with him in his grasp. Lucario would chase after the creature, just when Toad would show up, seeing everyone bewildered by what had just transpired.

"Mr. Hala, your grandson Hau is in the kitchen and is coming over here to the sanctuary any minute now!" Toad notified the kahuna; Hala nodded his head, now knowing that his dear grandson was safe. However, with the creature on the loose, Cloud didn't think Hala wasn't so safe anymore.

"You should hurry to the kitchen and see if your grandson is safe," the swordsman told Hala. "We'll guard the sanctuary from any incoming threats."

"Very well then, I shall be on my way," Hala responded as he followed Toad to the kitchen, off to check on his grandson Hau.


Back at the Star Records room, Zelda and Ema had brought in Aerith to analyze the drawing Captain Falcon had drawn for Ema, while the chimera was under the watch of Fox and Falco. Its validity as a Heartless was still yet to be determined.

"Hmm, the creature Captain Falcon drew is indeed a Heartless, I think it's called a Neoshadow," Aerith gave her consensus on the drawing, taking note of the antennae, humanoid structure, and yellow eyes. "They're a pretty strong type of Heartless not meant to be taken lightly by any means."

"Thank you for your consensus Aerith, we shall be holding on to this drawing for future references," Ema thanked the flower girl, placing the drawing in a folder. "There are still much more Heartless species to discover."

"Um, Zelda, you might want to see this, it's about the chimera..." Falco nervously showed the princess of Hyrule an image on his phone, and Zelda's eyes widened in fear. Ema and Aerith also took a peek at the image as well.

"So that chimera is Type: Null...and it's an Alolan Pokemon?" Zelda worried. Yes, the chimera she brought inside the Star Records room - the one she assumed was a Heartless - was actually a Pokemon native to the Alola region. (Type: Null is a cool name for a Pokemon, isn't it?)

Little Mac: At first when I saw the chimera, I thought it looked kinda cool. And now that I learned that its name is Type: Null, it makes it even cooler! Man, and here I thought Dunsparce was the coolest Pokemon that ever existed... *snickering sounds from the camera crew conducting the talking head segment* ...but hey, every man has a right to their own opinion, am I right? *snickering sounds subside*

"I should take this down to the Pokemon sanctuary immediately!" Zelda hurriedly grabbed Type: Null's leash and exited the room, reaching the nearest elevator. Would you want Type: Null in your party of Pokemon?


Samus and X arrived at the arcade room, where Master Hand was watching over Mr. Game and Watch trying to get the Shovel Knight arcade machine to work again. Apparently the machine is one of the many methods Master Hand expects to purchase his dream car, the Lamborghini Veneno. A huge waste of money, especially since MASTER HAND CAN'T EVEN DRIVE!

"Please man, fix this stupid machine, we're trying to raise funds here!" Master Hand angrily encouraged Mr. Game and Watch to get the machine working back to normal. "I need as much money as possible to afford my Lambo..." The giant hand turned around and saw Samus and X, standing by. "Ah, Samus, X, funny seeing you two here! As you can see, the Shovel Knight game is currently out of order, and nothing that Mr. Game and Watch could do..."

"Let me take a crack at it..." Samus walked up to the arcade machine and inserted her blaster in the coin slot, transforming the machine into a supercomputer. After some funky typing on the keyboard, Samus pressed the enter key, and turned the Shovel Knight game back on, as well as the mansion's security system. "Boom, problem solved, we're back in business. You boys can thank me later."

"I'm never doubting a single thing Samus does ever again," Master Hand remarked after he had seen the bounty hunter go to work; X nodded his head in much agreement.


Elsewhere in the mansion, Team Rocket was trying to make it out of the mansion with Pikachu in their possession, but a few brawlers would stop the evildoers in their tracks. One of the brawlers would be Yoshi, who had tackled James to the ground and was now licking the purple-haired man with his tongue. The dinosaur uses his trusty tongue for things over than grabbing things, you know.

"I may be a sucker but I'm no lollipop, get off of me this instant!" James said to Yoshi as the dinosaur continued licking him. Anyone know what episode of the Pokemon anime this line originated from?

Jessie: Our escape plan are pretty impromptu, for the most part - whenever we do something right (which hardly happens, to be frank), we just don't know how to act and we just run off to wherever!
James: For such situations, I recommend that we bring a smoke bomb, so we would leave our foes in a trail of smoke while we...uh...eh, a smoke bomb wouldn't make that much of a difference...
Mewtwo: Obviously not, Magikarp-for-brains! What's up with you today, with these insane ideas?

"James stop letting that dinosaur lick you like that, why don't you fight back for once?!" Jessie frowned at her partner, while she was wrangled with her arms behind her back by Ryu. The woman herself can't get herself out of her situation, whereas with James, he could just pepper spray Yoshi (if he had any pepper spray to begin with) and run for the hills.

"Don't think we're letting you get away with Pikachu this easily!" Ryu said to Jessie, holding the woman strongly in his grasp. Speaking of whom, Pikachu was in a tug of war with Meowth and Duck Hunt Dog, with the canine and the feline fighting over the mouse Pokemon. Meowth would prevail when he aggressively pulled Pikachu towards him, releasing Duck Hunt Dog's hold and throwing him back into a wall.

"I finally got secure possession of Pikachu, let's scram before it's too late!" the scratch cat Pokemon would scratch both Ryu and Yoshi with his claws. Both brawlers dealt with their pain, allowing Jessie and James the opportunity to break three, and the evil trio would run off with Pikachu, before running into the black creature that kidnapped Mario. According to Aerith, this was a Neoshadow, as it perfectly fit the drawing Captain Falcon had drew earlier.

"Any of you guys know if this thing is a Pokemon?" inquired Jessie, her eyes checking out the Heartless before they set on Mario. "Look, it has the famed Mario in his hands! Who would have thought?" Mario, likely to be kidnapped by Team Rocket? The plumber just couldn't fathom such a thing happening.

"Imagine the look on Giovanni's face when we show him we successfully kidnapped Mario, Nintendo's biggest breadwinner!" exclaimed James. "I'd say we take the yellow-eyed fiend with us, and take him...or her to our Rocket Hideout! And I know just the thing to lure it..." James reached into his pocket and pulled out a cleanse tag - an item used to repel Pokemon with low levels - holding it in front of the Neoshadow. Mario was hoping the Heartless would resist, but unfortunately for him, the Neoshadow was easily entranced by the cleanse tag, for whatever reason.

"It's working, he's attracted to the cleanse tag!" exclaimed Meowth, as the Neoshadow came closer towards the tag. "Now we really gotta reel him in and bring him out of the mansion with us..."

"Stop it right there, Team Rocket, you're going nowhere!" Lucario showed up, having followed the Neoshadow. Team Rocket panicked in fear, for they knew who they were up against; they certainly didn't want to trigger Mega Lucario by any means.

"Drat, it's the Lucario, the one that can talk!" panicked James. "Let's make a run for it!" Team Rocket ran away, and the Neoshadow ran with them, as James held the cleanse tag in his hand to lead the Heartless with him.

Zelda: *walking Type: Null through the mansion* I honestly had no idea this was a Pokemon, at first glance I wildly assumed it was a Heartless, though I should have known better. Now I have to take this Type: Null to the Pokemon sanctuary... *sees Team Rocket and the Neoshadow running by, with Lucario hot on their heels* ...or do I?

Team Rocket and the Neoshadow made it down to the foyer, and Jessie tried to open the front door...but it was locked! If you recall earlier in the episode, Isabelle had contacted X about Team Rocket, and after Samus turned the security system back on, the robot was able to lock all the mansion doors that led outside. (Sucks for anyone doing anything outside, like Ness and Lucas for example.)

"We're trapped, this can't possibly end like this!" Jessie panicked, before she and the others turned around, and saw Lucario, charging up his Aura Sphere. Seemed like the end for Team Rocket and the Neoshadow...

"Hold your fire Lucario, let me take a crack at them," Zelda showed up, with Type: Null at her side. Lucario subsided, as his Aura Sphere died down.

"That right there is Type: Null, a synthetic Pokemon!" stated Meowth, applying his Pokemon knowledge. "It looks a lot more menacing than it looks!" Zelda was about to fire an attack at Team Rocket, but seeing that the Neoshadow held Mario in its grasp, she decided to go after the Heartless instead.

"Type: Null, use...um...er..." Unfortunately for the princess, she doesn't even know what moves Type: Null knows. "Type: Null...do...something." Type: Null indeed did something - it used Take Down on the Neoshadow, defeating it in the process and releasing Mario from the Heartless's hold, and also knocked Team Rocket to the floor. Doing so released Pikachu from Meowth's hold, and once he was free, Pikachu began charging up his cheeks with electricity. Team Rocket knew what was gonna happen next, and Type: Null, sensing what Pikachu was about to do, backed away as much as possible. Not even it wanted to be a part of Pikachu's attack.

"Pika...CHHHUUU!" Pikachu used his signature move, Thunderbolt, on Team Rocket, electrocuting them so hard it resulted in an explosion that sent them flying out of the front door and into oblivion.

"Team Rocket is blasting off again!" Jessie, James, and Meowth all said in unison as they were sent flying into the sky. Only thing missing was for Wobuffet to randomly cry "WOBUFFET!" right before Team Rocket making their grand exit.

"Thank you for saving me Zelda, you really commanded that Type: Null, really surprised me," Mario thanked the princess, while at the same time commending her. Zelda surprised her own self too, she had no idea Type: Null was going to obey her command!


Meta Knight: Pit apparently wants me to come to the dining room to try out some malasadas he made. The only reason he wants me to eat them is because he believes the malasadas have a Mexican origin, so evidently he judged them off by the name and how the name sounded. Does he not know that malasadas are of Portuguese origin?

Once they were done making the malasadas, Pit, Sonic, Kirby, and Hau gathered together with Viridi and Meta Knight to eat the confections. So what did the goddess of nature and the Star Warrior have to say about the four boys' creations?

"Yum, these are very tasty, you boys did such a great job!" complimented Viridi. Probably just saying that because Pit's around.

"Much agreed, these malasadas really hit the spot," added Meta Knight, who turned away to eat the confections so the others wouldn't see his face. "I could tell that Kirby did a great job with the malasadas, I've always known him to be a superb cook."

"Hau is that you?" a voice called out; Hau looked up and saw his grandfather Hala, standing with Toad. Boy was the trainer happy to see him.

"Grandpa!" Hau got up out from his seat and ran towards Hala, giving him a huge hug. "So sorry for sneaking out of the bus like that, I just wanted to see what was inside the mansion! All there was to do was bring the Alolan Pokemon inside the sanctuary..."

"It's okay Hau, it looks to me like you made some new friends, and as long as you're happy, I'm happy! I'm afraid we don't have much time left, we have to return to our posse before Kukui questions our whereabouts!"

"OOOOHHH HE SAID THE P WORD!" Pit accusingly pointed at Hala. Childish is as childish does, and quite frankly Viridi accepts such behavior.

"He said the P word near his own grandson?!" Toad frowned, shaking his head in disbelief. "Hala how could you, why would you corrupt your grandson like that?! Some nerve you got!" Eh, Hau probably heard of the word somewhere on the Internet. The Internet can be a good thing, but it can easily corrupt and rot innocent minds.

"No I meant the other P word - the one LeBron James had deemed derogatory and offensive earlier this week. According to him, we can't really use that word anymore."

"Before we go, can I give Sonic a little something to remember me by?" Hau asked Hala as his grandfather nodded; Sonic perked up when Hau walked to him, giving him a Poke ball. "You were arguably a lot of fun to hang around with, so I just wanted to give you this. A little token of my appreciation."

"Golly, Hau, I don't know what to say, never heard anyone said I'm a lot of fun to be around, aside from my two favorite people..." grinned Sonic. You know who those two favorite people are, don't you? One's red, the other's yellow. "So from the bottom of my heart, thanks a bunch!"

Sonic: Yeah buddy, I got... *strikes a pose, holding the Poke ball in the air* ...a Poke ball! *ends pose* I don't get it, when Ash Ketchum does it in the show, he makes it look cool and rad! How can someone who makes the littlest things like so great be so stupid at the same time?


"So this is a Type: Null, huh?" Link spoke with Zelda outside of the Pokemon sanctuary, petting the synthetic Pokemon. "What Pokemon type is it?"

"According to Mario, it's a normal-type Pokemon, and it also evolves into Silvally, with high friendship," stated Zelda, also petting Type: Null. Pretty calm for a Pokemon that could easily scare the crap out of someone at night. "It's a synthesis Pokemon, which meant that it was single-handedly created - created from different Pokemon."

"Woah, a Pokemon that's created, so cool! Never heard anything like it!" Just then, Mewtwo hovered behind Link, displeased with what the Hylian had just said.

"It's not the first Pokemon to have that distinction, you know," the psychic Pokemon had to set it straight for Link, who shrieked and fell backwards onto the floor when he saw Mewtwo behind him. Zelda was giggling, and so was Cloud and Aerith, who were standing together from a far distance.

"New Heartless species spotted in the mansion, and that Pokemon over there took it out," Cloud spoke with Aerith. "Must be a very strong Pokemon, I must say..."

"And you thought the Neoshadow was a Pokemon this whole time," Aerith smiled at Cloud. The swordsman wanted to get back at Aerith, but instead he kept his mouth shut and held down an L instead.


"Thank-a you again, you all take-a care!" Mario waved to Professor Kukui and company, who all waved back, as the bus drove away, carrying the professor and everyone else back to their destination. X walked up next to Mario, checking on the security system with his wrist.

"I've been told that the eldest kahuna's grandson gave Sonic a gift," the pacifist robot spoke with Mario once he was done checking on the system. "Got any ideas what Pokemon might be inside?"

"No guesses from-a me, but I'll guarantee what-a ever Pokemon is inside will-a be Sonic's new buddy..."


"So are you gonna open up the Poke ball or not?" Tails asked Sonic as the two walked through the mansion, with Sonic holding the Poke ball Hau gave him in his hand.

"Eh, I would have waited until Christmas to see what's inside, but the anticipation would have literally killed me by then," replied Sonic. "So I'll see what Pokemon may be inside." So the hedgehog threw the Poke ball at the floor, and sent out a Pokemon...a white Pokemon that had grass-like fur and Gracidea flowers on its back. Now here's the real kicker - it looked exactly like a hedgehog.

"Is that...is that a Shaymin?" Tails had to do a double-take, for his eyes could not comprehend what he had just seen. It was indeed a Shaymin, and Sonic ran up to it and hugged it, like it was his own.

"Yup, it's a Shaymin alright, and it's all mine! Oh man, oh man, wait until I tell the others!"

So Sonic finally got what he wanted, a pet Shaymin - a new companion. He can always thank his new friend Hau for making his dream of owning a Shaymin come true.
