(Tomorrow morning, Flurrie woke up and stretched as she started yawning and levitating)
FLURRIE:
Today's the day! We get to finally go to the major league!
KOOPS:
yawns* Oh my gosh, seriously?
FLURRIE:
Yes, seriously!
KOOPS:
Now, should we wake up Mario for the big day?
FLURRIE:
I don't see why not.
(Koops and Flurrie gently shook Mario in an attempt to wake him up)
KOOPS:
Psst, Mario! Wake up, man! It's time to eat some breakfast!
FLURRIE:
You don't wanna be exhausted for big day… wait, what's that egg doing on the floor?
KOOPS:
Huh, must be some kind of a Yoshi egg.
MARIO:
That's because it is a Yoshi egg! And thanks for waking me up for the big day!
FLURRIE:
You gotta eat first if you wanna start fighting foes!
(At the cafeteria, Mario, Koops, and Flurrie were at the table when Grubba served them food)
GRUBBA:
Bon appetite, Gonzales!
MARIO:
What's-a this?
GRUBBA:
It's the Glitz Pit special: Hot Dogs!
KOOPS:
We're eating hot dogs?
GRUBBA:
Yer darn tootin'! Eat up!
(Mario, Koops, and Flurrie began eating their hot dogs when Rawk Hawk approached them)
RAWK HAWK:
Hey there, you must be The Great Gonzales, no?
MARIO:
Uh… yes, as a matter of fact, I am The Great Gonzales!
RAWK HAWK:
Here's some advice from ya: if you try to beat me, you feel the rawwwwwwk!
MARIO:
You know what, make fun of me all you want, but I'm about to take that belt from you, pretty soon!
RAWK HAWK:
Oh yeah, and how are you gonna do that if I'm gonna rawk ya, huh?
MARIO:
Just wait and see! Wait and see! We're out of here!
(Mario, Koops, and Flurrie got up from their tables and were about to head into their locker room, but Mario stopped when he witnessed Goombella and her friends walking inside the Glitz Pit)
GOOMBELLA:
I'm so totally excited!
GOOMBRIEL:
Me too, Goombella! It was so nice of Mr. Bobbery, Professor Frankly, and Don Pianta to let us have a week off!
ELIZAGOOM:
Yeah, I wanna see who that Gonzales rookie is!
(Mario quickly caught up with Koops and Flurrie and headed back to the major league room. Mario then went up to the terminal, but Ms. Jolene shows up instead of Grubba)
JOLENE:
Hello, Gonzales, we're just about to begin the battles since we're now done with breakfast. So, you'll be fighting The Hand-It-Overs.
GRUBBA:
Yes, Gonzales, and you better not use special moves in this battle!
MARIO:
This'll be easy-peasy!
(Mario sent Flurrie and Ms. Mowz in his partner band)
MARIO:
Koops, I'm gonna need you to be with me this time, buddy!
KOOPS:
Okay, Mario.
(The guard came in the room)
SECURITY:
Gonzales, come with me.
(At the ring, Mario and Koops were facing two green bandits and two red bandits)
MARIO:
B-Bandy Andy?
BANDY ANDY:
This fight's for you, my love.
(Mario set down a fright mask and scared away all bandits, giving him a star point. Back in the room, Ms. Jolene gave Mario six dollars)
JOLENE:
I'm actually glad you won instead of Bandy. He never learns.
(Ms. Jolene left the room)
KING K:
Hey, While I was eating, I saw a STUNNIN' babe, I'm gonna go and check her out!
(King K left the terminal, and Mario turned on the terminal again)
GRUBBA:
Your next battle's gonna be against the Mind-Bogglers, and I don't want you to switch out your partners during your battle.
(The guard escorted Mario and Koops to the ring, and the battle began with Mario using another fright mask on a Pider and a Dark Puff, but the Pale Piranha had no effect whatsoever)
MARIO:
Koops, do your thing!
(Koops Shell Tossed the Pale Piranha, giving it seven damage since he's still in peril, and immediately killing it, which gives Mario four star points. Jolene gives Mario six dollars and craves the room)
KING K:
Hey, Gonzales, remember the stunning babe that I just talked to you about?
MARIO:
Yes, did you ask her out?
KING K:
I did! And now I this pretty toad that appears to be Ms. Jolene's sister means the whole world to me… which means I'm retiring!
KOOPS:
Well, good luck, King K.
(King K pats Koops on the shoulder)
KING K:
Thanks, buddy!
(King K pats Mario on the shoulder)
KING K:
I love you man, and I'll never forget you!
(King K leaves the room)
MARIO:
I am gonna miss him. Anyway…
(Mario turns on the terminal)
GRUBBA:
Your next battle's gonna be against the Punk Rocks, and no hammers allowed!
(The guard escorts Mario and Koops to the ring. Koops used an action commandless Power Shell giving each of the three Hyper Bald Clefts four damage)
CLEFTOR:
Cleftor no like mustache!
(The Clefts die, giving Mario twelve star points. Ms. Jolene gives Mario seven dollars and leaves. Mario turns on the terminal again)
GRUBBA:
You're gonna be fighting the Bomb Squad, and here's a cool condition: take damage three times! Think you can handle that?
(Mario and Koops gulped nervously. The guard escorted Mario to the ring again where he encountered Master Crash and three other Bob-Ombs)
MARIO:
Master Crash!
MASTER CRASH:
You're going BOMB down BOMB-BOMB!
MARIO:
Wow, he really does have speech issues.
(The battle began with Koops in front this time as he swaps himself with Ms. Mowz, and Mario swaps her with Flurrie. The Bob-ombs charged at Flurrie, but she dodged every attack, however she still took one damage for each Bob-omb, making it four damage total)
FLURRIE:
Oh, I've been dying to use one of these.
(Flurrie uses a fright mask on Master Crash and his friends, and they all ran away feeling terrified. Mario gained another star point. Back in the room, Ms. Jolene gave Mario seven more dollars and then left)
MASTER CRASH:
Gonzales, you BOMB managed to beat all of the BOMB gang up! King K would've been BOMB proud of you BOMB-BOMB!
BANDY ANDY:
Yeah, I could've won Jolene over if I had won.
CLEFTOR:
Cleftor still no like mustache.
(Mario turned on the terminal again)
GRUBBA:
Hey, Great Gonzales, are you ready to move into the major league? I know I am! You just gotta beat the Armored Harriers, and then you'll be out of this crummy place and into a far more fancier locker room! Anyway, I'll need you to take damage three times. Good luck!
(Flurrie gulped. Mario placed Koops and Ms. Mowz in his partner band just as the guard came in and escorted Mario and Flurrie to the ring)
GRUBBA:
Welcome, welcome! We have big news about The Great Gonzales! He's gonna move into the major league! But first, he'll have to take care of the Armored Harriers, can he do it? First to enter the ring is the Armored Harriers!
(The Armored Harriers entered the ring)
RED ARMOR CLEFT:
Alright, where's this Gonzales rookie you speak of!?
GREEN ARMOR CLEFT:
Yeah, we wanna kill him!
GRUBBA:
Maybe you'll succeed. Oh, here comes The Great Gonzales!
(Mario and Flurrie entered the ring and saw that The Armored Harriers were slightly bigger than Flurrie)
RED ARMOR CLEFT:
We're actually invincible!
GREEN ARMOR CLEFT:
And there's nothing you can do to kill us, 'cause we're gonna kill you!
GRUBBA:
Let the battle begin!
(The Paper Mario battle began)
FLURRIE:
Get ready, Mario! We're finally gonna make it to the major league!
MARIO:
Oh, I sure am excited! Let's-a do this!
(Flurrie positioned herself up front and swapped herself to Koops, and Mario swaps him back with Flurrie. The Armored Harriers charged at Flurrie but she managed to dodge their attack. She still took three damage from each attack making it six total. She now has five HP, meaning she's now in danger. Mario went up front and jumped on the red armor cleft, but he took one damage because of his spikes)
MARIO:
This is not good!
FLURRIE:
I think they're really invincible, we gotta get out of here!
(She ran away)
MARIO:
Flurrie, wait!
(Mario ran after Flurrie as Koops and Ms. Mowz got out of his partner band and ran with Mario)
GRUBBA:
Huh? Looks like the Armored Harriers won, I guess.
(Mario, Koops, Flurrie, and Ms. Mowz ran back in the major league room. Where they saw Ms. Jolene using the terminal for a Swooper)
GBA TERMINAL:
Hello, fighter. What is your command?
JOLENE:
Sir Swoop is ready to fight!
(The terminal shows Grubba)
GRUBBA:
Well, howdy there, Sir Swoop! Ready for your first fight, huh? 'Cause you will be fighting the Goomba Bros.! Oh, don't you worry, they'll be a piece of cake! Also, we need the crowd fired up, so I want you to do a triple flip and then meow. If you have any questions, just feel free to ask Ms. Jolene. I'll see you on the ring!
(The terminal shuts off)
JOLENE:
Alright, so you'll be fighting the Goomba Bros., and you must follow Mr. Grubba's conditions, no matter what. So whenever your opponents lose, you'll go up a rank. Whenever you reach rank 10, you'll be transferred to the major league. When you defeat the champ, you'll win that belt! Sounds fair, right?
SIR SWOOP:
Yes, ma'am.
(The guard entered the room)
GUARD:
Mr. Swoop, it's time for your first fight! Follow me.
JOLENE:
Okay, security's here to escort you to the ring! Try not to get completely destroyed out there.
(Ms. Jolene, the guard, and Sir Swoop left the room)
MARIO:
We gotta go back and destroy those-a Armored Harriers!
FLURRIE:
We can't, Mario! Don't you remember what they said to us? They're invincible!
KOOPS:
If we only had an ally that could ignore defense…
MARIO:
Like Watt?
KOOPS:
Okay? Also, that Yoshi egg just hatched.
MARIO:
Wha… hatched? Where's the Baby Yoshi?
MASTER CRASH:
There were actually seven of them BOMB!
FLURRIE:
Seven? Oh, man, septuplets!
(Mario and Koops noticed the green Yoshi on Flurrie's hair. Just as the baby Yoshi noticed Mario, he jumps into his arms and licks him in the cheek)
KOOPS:
Wow, he really likes you, Mario.
MARIO:
I can tell, Koops.
(The baby Yoshi licked Mario again)
BABY YOSHI:
You bet I like you, Gonzales.
FLURRIE:
Whoa, dude!
MS. MOWZ:
No messages.[English]
KOOPS:
You can talk?
MARIO:
Of course Yoshies can talk, Koops.
FLURRIE:
But he's just a sweet little newborn baby.
MARIO:
Maybe Hoggle taught him how? I don't know. Now that he CAN be able to talk, where are your other six siblings?
(Hoggle entered the room with six other baby Yoshies)
HOGGLE:
Why don't you keep all those Yoshies since you've proven to me last night, that we shouldn't cook baby Yoshies. Good luck!
(Hoggle left the room)
MARIO:
So there they are.
KOOPS:
What are your names?
GREEN YOSHI:
Wait, you wanna know what our names are? Hmm… let's see, we just came out of that egg, so I guess we don't have names. Hey, Gonzales, you seem fired about it, so why don't you give us names!
(The other Yoshies agreed to the green one)
MARIO:
You're in luck, because I already gave you a name!
GREEN YOSHI:
What is it?
MARIO:
I'm gonna name you Eggy!
EGGY:
Eggy… I love it, Gonzales!
MARIO:
And the red one will be Chilly, the blue will be Blu, the orange will be Yoshio, the black will be Reggie, the pink will be Belle, and the white will be… Yoshian, after Vivian's name.
(The six Yoshies gave Mario a thumbs up as Eggy placed them in his own partner band)
MARIO:
Where did you get that partner band from?
EGGY:
I was just destroying some rocks when I discovered a snail in a hideout, and he gave me this!
MARIO:
Wait, you can destroy rocks?
EGGY:
Yeah.
KOOPS:
The Armored Harriers are rocks, which means you can actually destroy them!
MARIO:
I'm going up to that terminal!
(Mario turned the terminal on)
MARIO:
Mr. Grubba, I wanna refight the Armored Harriers!
GRUBBA:
Alright, go out there and destroy 'em, and take damage three times!
(Mario sends Koops, Flurrie, and Ms. Mowz in his partner band just as the security guard came)
SECURITY:
Uh, babies aren't allowed on the ring.
MARIO:
But Eggy's my only hope to killing those oversized rocks!
EGGY:
Yeah! I'll take care of any rock creatures that stand in my way! We'll prove it to you!
SECURITY:
You're in a lot of trouble if that Yoshi dies, you hear me!?
(Mario nervously nodded his head. Later, at the ring, Mario and Eggy were in battle with the Armored Harriers)
EGGY:
So, these are the oversized rocks you were talking to me about, Gonzales?
RED ARMOR CLEFT:
Wow, that baby ally of yours is such a wimp!
GREEN ARMOR CLEFT:
We'll take care of that little stinkwad, no problem!
EGGY:
We'll see about that, rock heads!
MARIO:
Please do be careful, Eggy.
EGGY:
Also, I can't gulp.
MARIO:
That's because I'm low on FP. You need four FP to gulp, but I only have three, just let me fix that real quick.
(Mario drank his honey syrup which restored five FP. Now there's eight FP. Eggy now walked up to the giant armor cleft)
RED ARMOR CLEFT:
Ha! What are you gonna do stinkwad? You gonna hit me hard until it hur…
(Eggy putted the red armor cleft in his mouth, and then spitted it at the green armor cleft, taking away four damage for each of the armor clefts)
GREEN ARMOR CLEFT:
YAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
RED ARMOR CLEFT:
That… that really hurt! Now you're gonna pay for this, stinkwad!
(The armor clefts charged at Mario, but he dodged them, which he took three damage for each attack, setting him in danger. Mario jumped at the red armor cleft, and like last time, he took one damage. Eggy finished off the fight using gulp on the armor clefts. Mario had won fourteen star points)
RED ARMOR CLEFT:
No! We lost! Does that mean… we have to move back to the minor league!?
GREEN ARMOR CLEFT:
Please don't bring that up! I'm gonna be sick!
GRUBBA:
And with that, The Great Gonzales is finally able to move to the major league, thanks to that baby dino! Let's give The Great Gonzales a cheer, everybody!
(Everybody started chanting Mario and Yoshi's names)
MARIO:
You did it, little buddy! I can practically taste that Chaos Emerald!
EGGY:
A Chaos Emerald?
