Please Read and Review.
(Princess Serena is still zooming through the Berry Forest with Sylveon and Floette (Eternal Flower) in her Motorcycle, having escaped from and Survived Koraidon's ambush on the Sky Pillar Road, but had lost not only Ash and Rillaboom but also the entire aid of the Ultra Jungle Kingdom. And she was rushing home to hopefully save her Kingdom's residents before Koraidon's eventual arrival. But separating the group from their arrival in the Berry Kingdom was a lake, but Princess Serena was not slowing down for even a second, as she activates her Motorcycle's Anti-Gravity Mode, allowing them to ride right over the lake completely unaffected by it, while Sylveon and Floette hang for dear life. After zooming through another part of the Berry Forest and deactivating the Anti-Gravity Mode, the group finally arrives back in the Berry Kingdom and Serena lands her Motorcycle in the center of an intersection. Then She and Sylveon shouts to every Floette who can hear them).
Princess Serena: Koraidon's on his way! You must evacuate!
Sylveon: This is not a Joke! This is an emergency! This is not a Drill! (Then Princess Serena revs up her Motorcycle again, and resumes racing towards her palace with Sylveon and Floette with her, as every Floette who heard their Princess' and Sylveon's announcements scattered running in all directions in a panic while screaming for their lives. As Princess Serena, Sylveon, and Floette keep riding on Serena's motorcycle, racing towards her castle, they keep warning any, and all Floette who can hear them of the necessary evacuation).
Princess Serena: Hurry! Get out of the city!
Sylveon: Koraidon is Coming! Hurry! (Princess Serena keeps zooming through the city with Sylveon and Floette, not slowing down one bit, navigating the tricky sections of the kingdom that Ash struggled with as Floette (Eternal Flower) guided him, with ease. Nearing ever closer to her Kingdom's Castle. In a matter of moments, they arrived at her castle).
(In the Castle's main throne room, the Floette Council Members, and other Floette heard the sound of Princess Serena's motorcycle coming, before the doors to the room burst open and Princess Serena comes in on her motorcycle with Sylveon and Floette (Eternal Flower) with her, before quickly getting off with Sylveon, and Floette (Eternal Flower) and quickly removed her Motorcycle helmet. They had been gathering here, eagerly waiting for their Princess' return with good news as a Floette (Blue Flower) General asked her...).
Floette (Blue Flower) General: Princess? (But their hopes for good news disappeared when Princess Serena told them...).
Princess Serena: We lost the army, (Hearing this causes the Crowd of Floette everywhere to gasp in shock and horror. Then Princess Serena looks down in sadness as she shares more sad news with the Floette) and Ash is gone. (Sylveon looks down sadly too as she tells them sounding saddened and despondent).
Sylveon: We Failed. There is no hope for any of us. It is all over.
(Princess Serena especially felt saddened by how they lost Ash, since he has very much grown on, and how she has come genuinely enjoy his presence, and now her Hero Is Dead. A couple of the things, Princess Serena has truly come to appreciate and like about Ash was he was a strongminded, initiative-taking and an all-around Nice Guy. And that while he had his imperfections, he would overcome them all due to his large heart compelling him to do the right thing. She felt a great deal of heartbreak and felt regretful for when she and Ash were about to set off on their adventure and a Floette in the crowd asked who Ash was. And She responded saying that "He's not important!". And now, the Dreaded Koraidon was coming to the Berry Kingdom! She then snapped out of her heartbroken state to get back to focusing on saving her Kingdom's residents, cause if she had a chance of making sure they were safe from Koraidon then she was going to take it, taking charge telling them).
Princess Serena: Koraidon is coming. Head into the forest. And I will buy you a little time. (Sylveon then spoke up to the Floette telling them as well).
Sylveon: Do not worry about us! We will be fine! Just go! (Then the Floette (Blue Flower) General took charge from this order from their Benevolent Boss, Princess Serena and Sylveon, saying to everyone in the room).
Floette General: You heard her! Evacuate the city! (With that every Floette in the room, began to scatter in all directions, evacuating while screaming and panicking to get to safety as fast as they can knowing that their Princess has no expectations of them to protect her or Sylveon. As Princess Serena and Sylveon watch all the Floette evacuate they notice that one Floette was not leaving. They noticed that Floette (Eternal Flower) was still here, and not making any moves to leave).
Princess Serena: Go with the others.
Sylveon: Why aren't you evacuating? (Floette (Eternal Flower) turns to the Princess and Sylveon telling them, determinedly).
Floette (Eternal Flower): But I said I would not let anyone hurt you. (Princess Serena and Sylveon felt touched by Floette's clear Declaration of Protection to them, and smiled at him, before nodding, as they agreed to let Floette stay with them. Then the three of them, left to prepare for Koraidon's imminent arrival to what will be an Easily Conquered World).
(Meanwhile, down in the Town below Princess Serena's castle, the town was full of bustling and Frantic Floette who were rushing to evacuate the city before the Dreaded Koraidon could arrive. As a Yellow Flower Floette rushed out of its home followed by a Red Flower while screaming).
Yellow Floette: Run! (A Red Floette in an apron drops a box of Oran Berries and tries to gather the Oran Berries. Only for another Floette to stop him saying).
Red Floette: Just leave it! There is no time! (The Floette decides to forget about getting the Oran Berries in favor of taking part in the Citywide Evacuation, where they are fleeing for the hills in a mad panic).
(Meanwhile, Princess Serena, Sylveon, and Floette are Heading down a Hallway with brave expressions on their face, not the least bit scared of Koraidon's imminent arrival. Princess Serena was refusing to show anything other than Bravery and determination right now. While she, Sylveon, and Floette could only stare in disbelief, and feel crushed that Ash was gone, they had more pressing matters to deal with right now. Despite how they only known Ash for a couple of days at best, they really grew close to him, especially Serena. And what made the whole worse was that losing not only Ash but also the Forest of Okoya Pokémon Army, meant that her plan to get allies against Koraidon has failed. It left the Princess with only one choice left: ordering her people to evacuate Floette Town while she and Floette attempt to Stall for time against Koraidon, and that was what they were going to do. As they kept moving through the hallway, Princess Serena grabs a halberd left behind by one of her Floette guards while Floette readies his Flower, intending to use it as a weapon if necessary to defend his Princess and Sylveon).
(Meanwhile, the Floette continue their Citywide Evacuation. One of the Evacuating Red Flower Floette was evacuating while carrying a Coin that he kept as a precious memento of his strange but one short meeting with a Cap wearing stranger that happened before. As the Floette kept evacuating, the Bright Blue Sky over the Berry Kingdom began to Darken. Then the ground began to shake, causing the Oran Berries one of the Floette dropped to begin shaking from the Bad Vibrations).
(Koraidon's Volcanic Airship complete with a Death Mountain and active volcano drew ever closer to the Berry Kingdom and the Castle belonging to Princess Serena. And it came with Dark and Ominous Clouds surrounding it and make sounds of thunder wherever it goes).
(Now, Princess Serena, Sylveon, and Floette exit the Castle and step outside the castle gates watching as the invading warship and mobile fortress that is Koraidon's Castle approaches the front yards of Princess Serena's Castle where Princess Serena, Sylveon, and Floette are standing completely fearless and unafraid of it. While Floette (Eternal Flower) gets a little scared of the Castle itself, Princess Serena and Sylveon's fearless expressions never wavered for even a second. As they were prepared to fight for their lives and that of their Easily Conquered World, from the evildoer with the Malevolent Mugshot with sculptures of his head all over the place, most prominently at the "bow" of the Ominous Floating Castle, with waterfalls of lava. Once Koraidon's castle landed in the Kingdom with a massive "Thud!", the "mouth" gate of Koraidon's Castle opened, releasing a gust of smoke that Princess Serena and Sylveon wince at while keeping their fearless stances, while Floette (Eternal Flower) recoils a bit. Then they resume staring down the invading Castle and those lurk within it, before tons of Squirtles wielding spears and a Farfetch'd (Galarian Form) with its Stalk run out and surround Princess Serena, Sylveon, and Floette while standing at arms. Then everyone hears footsteps as Koraidon himself appears, walking out from the Flames inside his Castle towards Princess Serena, Sylveon, and Floette before greeting her).
Koraidon: Princess Serena! Brave as ever. (Princess Serena and Sylveon already angry glare at Koraidon intensified, as Delphox appears beside Koraidon after teleporting there). As you can see, I have the Tera Orb. (Koraidon said referring to the Tera Orb that Delphox was showing off directly above Koraidon's head. Princess Serena, Sylveon, and Floette were still not the least bit intimidated by this as they readied themselves for any impending battle that Koraidon might wage against them).
Princess Serena: If you are going to use it... (Princess Serena points her halberd at Koraidon, ready to strike as the surrounding Squirtle's point theirs at her in response to her threatening their King). ...Use it now!
Sylveon: We are not the least bit afraid of you Uglydon. Bring it on! We have kicked your Ugly scaly butt before, and we are happy to do it again if you like! (Both Princess Serena and Sylveon knew what the Tera Orb did and just how powerful it truly was but was prepared to fight with everything they had if it came to that. Surprised by her reaction to his mentioning of the Tera Orb with the Halberd pointed right at him, Koraidon nervously points the tip of the halberd away as he clears his throat).
Koraidon: No, Princess... yes, I stole this Tera Orb for us. I guess...love really makes a guy come out of his Crest of scarlet feathers.
(Koraidon Chuckles at that while Princess Serena and Sylveon stare at Koraidon with a confused and utterly baffled expression on their faces. With Princess Serena feeling underwhelmed at best and confused at worst, as she could not understand what Koraidon meant by that. Seeing that his effort to woo Princess Serena garnered him a "Lame Pun Reaction", Koraidon whispers/hisses to Delphox).
Koraidon: I told you that line would not work! (Then Delphox, his Sycophantic Servant gives his Boss a Thumbs Up, disagreeing with him as his Romantic Wingman).
Delphox: You are doing great!
Koraidon: Serena's, with this Tera Orb, we will be invincible. We can rule the world together, forever. Will you marry me?
(Princess Serena, Sylveon, and Floette all felt disturbed and disgusted by how Koraidon, a huge egomaniac and Narcist, clearly has a Villainous Crush on Serena, and they also found it truly creepy. Not to mention, how he thought stealing and destroying the Ice Kingdom for the Tera Orb Could have any chance at impressing Princess Serena was also very wrong, not to mention his Terrible Pick-Up Lines. It made them wonder if Koraidon only Thinks Like a Romance Novel is the world they live in and did not even find his acting bashful surprisingly adorable. Once Princess Serena said to the petulant tyrant once she recovered from the absurdity of what he asked her and the grossed-out feelings she was feeling from what he said before that making her disgust with him truly clear).
Princess Serena: Marry you? Are you insane? Because I would NEVER marry you. (Sylveon then said full of anger towards Koraidon).
Sylveon: That is Right! Your Heard Her! Now get back in your ugly little ship and get out of here! Before we kick your butt out of here!
(Princess Serena then thrusts her Halberd Weapon out further towards Koraidon, feeling disgusted by him for being an Abhorrent Admirer towards her in a case of Dragons Prefer Princesses. Since she saw Koraidon as nothing more than an Evil Overlord who is the tyrannical King of the Paradox Pokémon and ruler of the Fiery Path who would decimate entire kingdoms and ecosystems motivated solely by his crush on her. And what was worse, his Delusion of foolishly believing that she would ever be with him, it was just another Fatal Flaw that Koraidon had. Realizing that he "didn't think this through", Koraidon goes with his backup plan, telling the Princess).
Koraidon: Likely you should reconsider. (Koraidon turns to Delphox and signals him. Delphox then uses his Psychic attack on Floette (Eternal Flower) and Sylveon to attack them, making them scream in pain).
Serena: No! (Princess Serena rushes to Floette and Sylveon's aid dropping her Halberd weapon, but she touches them, she ends up getting Zapped by the energy that Delphox is using to attack them. Seeing both Floette and her beloved Pokémon Partner, Sylveon was too much for Serena to bear). Stop! (Floette and Sylveon continue to cry and scream in Pain from the torture of Delphox's Powerful Psychic attack. Princess Serena could not stand the thought of losing either of them, especially not after losing Ash and the Entire Ultra Jungle Kingdom Army. Princess Serena knew that Koraidon just crossed the Moral Event Horizon when he ordered Delphox to torture Floette and Sylveon just to "Blackmail" her into marrying him, thereby showing how low he is willing to go to make her his with his unhealthy obsession with her. Not able to watch her two beloved Pokémon suffer anymore torture at the Claws of the Sadist Koraidon; Princess Serena instantly caves in to Koraidon's demands shouting while being on the verge of breaking down). PLEASE STOP! Oh, I will...I will-I will marry you, just do not hurt my Floette or Sylveon! (Hearing what he wanted to hear from her, Koraidon motions his hand to Delphox, who ceases his torture of Floette and Sylveon, letting them fall to the ground. Princess Serena holds Floette and Sylveon in concern, trying to comfort them from all the intense pain they just experienced. Finding them both to have ended up hurt quite bad if the bruises and other injuries they sustained are any sign. She hated that Koraidon could be so cruel, having Delphox to torture Floette and Sylveon, having them writhe in pain and agony, just to push her into marrying him. Then Koraidon says to Princess Serena in response to her request for not hurting her Floette or Sylveon as an act of Cold-Blooded Torture).
Koraidon: You have my word. (Koraidon then Reaches his hand out to Princess Serena having won his Lust Interest. Princess Serena looks down in sadness before she sighs in despair as she gently helps an aching in pain and limping Sylveon to her feet, allowing Sylveon to take one of her hands to help it stand on its feet again. Before she and Sylveon begin to head inside Koraidon's Castle together, while leaving Floette (Eternal Flower) behind as Koraidon cheers triumphantly). Ha-ha! Time for a wedding!
(Koraidon, Princess Serena, Sylveon, and Delphox walk into Koraidon's castle, with Sylveon wrapping one of its feelers around Princess Serena's arm so she can help Sylveon walk despite the pain it is in. While Squirtle soldiers hold Floette and bring him in as well as the Gates close behind them. All the while, Princess Serena was hating that she was in a "So Beautiful, it's a Curse" situation, where Koraidon had decimated the Ice Kingdom and took their Tera Orb as part of a scheme to woo her, which also meant the Floette came dangerously close to sealing this fate when they adopted her. And now, because of her, the Berry Kingdom and soon the entire world will be in danger of Koraidon's Evil Wrath).
(Meanwhile, in the dungeon where the Eiscue, Empoleon, and Ritchie were still in Cages. And surveilling the prisoners in their cages that have Widely Spaced Jail Bars were a couple of Squirtles in Flying Cars. And to the discomfort of everyone, Clefairy is singing loudly to the other prisoners).
Clefairy: Life is sad. Prison is sad. Life and prison are very-very sad.
(Then the caged members of the Forest of Okoya Pokémon Army end up dropping into the dungeon in cages just like the others, who are doing their best to ignore Clefairy, such as Ritchie, a Cranidos, and a couple of Palpitoad's that were formerly a part of Koraidon's Army. The impact of the Cages crashing down so quickly has all the new prisoners screaming in pain with Gumshoos recoils in pain from the sudden cage drop. While Clefairy says excitedly upon seeing the New Prisoners joining them).
Clefairy: Ooh! Fresh meat for the grinder. (Then Clefairy spins his Cage around as Gumshoos looks at him before asking Sarcastically).
Gumshoos: Who is this ray of sunshine? (In response to Gumshoos' sarcastic Question with a Stealth Pun, Clefairy answers telling him).
Clefairy: There is no sunshine. Only darkness. (Having heard too much of Clefairy's twisted drivel, the Requisite Royal Regalia King Empoleon Shouts to Clefairy).
King Empoleon: SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UUUUUP!
(Suddenly, King Empoleon felt like he was getting Chandler Bing vibes. While Ritchie was beginning to wonder if Clefairy has ended up imprisoned for an incredibly long time, given how oddly calm he is during this whole situation, and has absolutely no hope of escape, not to mention his uncanny behavior. It led Ritchie to wonder if he may very well be one of if not the first prisoner of Koraidon and had fallen victim to Sanity Slippage. Before he could think more about it, Delphox teleports in and floats in the air using his Psychic Powers to levitate in the air).
Delphox: Hello, prisoners! You do not deserve this, but you are receiving an invitation to the Royal Wedding! (Everyone stayed quiet, except for a lone Eiscue, who cheers happily at the invitation).
Eiscue: Yay! (But then Delphox, having given the Prisoners both the old "Bait-and-Switch" and "Bait the Dog" move, he then tells them gleefully).
Delphox: Where you will all be a ritualistically sacrifice! (With that, Delphox disappears, teleporting out of the dungeon before anyone can say anything. After a moment, the prisoners scream and shake their cages in panic, completely freaking out).
Gumshoos: Oh, no, no, no! (Gumshoos especially was freaking out like a Distressed Dude who was ending up punished for Tempting Fate by bragging about his army being the greatest there is, and then they ended up overpowered and captured by the Squirtle Troop before they could even storm Koraidon's castle. While Clefairy, the Perpetual Smiler said cheerfully pleased about this turn of events).
Clefairy: Finally! Mercy...
(No one could take comfort in the Creepy Cute Clefairy's Cheerfully Straw Nihilist and Black Comedy Burst personality, since it was making everyone feel a ton worse about their already unpleasant and grim situation. And him being an Ensemble Dark Horse with his Black Comedy and Troubling Unchildlike Behavior did not help, as him harping on about how hopeless things are, was a Fate Worse than Death. All the while, Ritchie gravely missed his brother so much, and like the Distressed Dude he was, he whimpers to himself a very scared and quiet...).
Ritchie: Ash... (All Ritchie clearly wanted was to see his brother again and have Ash save him more than anything. He was just a poor guy just cannot catch a break...).
(Meanwhile, deep beneath the ocean waters below the Sky Pillar Road was the Wailord who ate Ash and Rillaboom, yawning. A Tentacool swims by before the Wailord inhales it into its mouth, causing it to end up panicking before the Wailord accidentally swallows the Tentacool whole before the sea Pokémon goes inside the Wailord to the Ribcage Stomach area where Ash and Rillaboom are. They were thankfully still alive after the Wailord ate them like how an Extreme Omnivore would Swallowed Whole its Prey. Deep inside the Belly of the Wailord, Ash and Rillaboom had found a place to sit, lament, and take Refuge before they fall prey to their untimely demise at the hands of (or in this case, the Stomach of) this Wailord's Digestive System. Surrounding them were blocks, shards of road, karts, and other assorted anomalies. Then Rillaboom said lamenting his despair as he takes notice of the stuff in their area around them).
Rillaboom: So, this is the end. Ending up slowly digested by a Wailord next to an idiot in a Hat. (Ash does not like Rillaboom's dissing at him, firing back at saying).
Ash: Well, at least your brother is not gonna die because of you. (Rillaboom mocks Ash back).
Rillaboom: At Least you are not gonna die with your dad thinking you are a joke. (Ash does not truly have anything to counter that accusation of Rillaboom's since he can relate to it, as he remembers his own father and how things ended the last time they talked).
Ash: Yes, well, my dad thinks I am a joke, too. (Rillaboom is a little surprised to hear this confession from Ash, feeling a little bad for him and that they have a Commonality Connection about their dad's and how they have never been able to earning their respect).
Rillaboom: Yes, well... (Then Rillaboom turns around and yells at Ash callously shouting) Your Dad's right!
(Ash was already feeling terribly bad right now, what with the plan to get the Ultra Jungle Kingdom's Forest of Okoya Pokémon Army to help them in the fight against Koraidon's forces, but that failed when said army ended up captured on the way back to the Berry Kingdom, meaning that their whole plan was All for Nothing. And Ash was already feeling saddened by how he may never see Floette, Sylveon, or even... Princess Serena, ever again or even be able to save his brother Ritchie. So, Rillaboom act of Bait-and-Switch Compassion was not making him feel any better. For Rillaboom, he was a little worried about whether his father loved him at all, and even if did somehow escape from this Wailord and Returned home, his confidence would be at an all-time low, knowing that since he failed in saving his friends and family, and that he had let his people down. Ash was already feeling bothered by his own personal problems, along with all the anguish he was feeling right now, and had enough of Rillaboom's antics, yelling at saying).
Ash: Do you know what? I feel bad enough. Just-just leave me alone.
(Ash then turns and sits with his back to Rillaboom, the Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy with the Awesome Ego, before slumping in anguish. Rillaboom would not say aloud but all he wants is to earn his father's respect and end up seen as a worthy successor, which was why he was such a boisterous performer, beloved by the crowd, and had a cocky exterior. But Ash, he knew that whatever happened to his brother, Ritchie, Floette (Eternal Flower), the citizens of the Berry Kingdom, those of the Ultra Jungle Kingdom, Sylveon, and of Course, Princess Serena from this point on would be partly his fault, as he was indirectly responsible for dragging everyone in his personal mission to save Ritchie and thus put all those People and Pokémon in mortal danger. Ash then remembered that his entire journey in the Berry Kingdom was to rescue Ritchie, and he had been going through heck and back, fighting tooth and nail, all to rescue his little brother. And Ash failed him, he failed his own brother, his own flesh and blood. All Ash did to save his brother, including his training, all his misadventures, enduring the beatings he gets from either the world around him or a fully grown gorilla and fighting against Koraidon's army, it was all in vain. And now, all that guilt of not being able to save Ritchie would haunt Ash for the rest of his life, and beyond, traumatizing him, forever. What makes this even worse for him was that the reason for why he and Ritchie got separated was because he insisted on taking Ritchie to the sewers to fix the broken valve that was causing a flood so that they can prove themselves to everyone despite his Brothers reluctance, which not only made him indirectly responsible for what happened to Ritchie. Then he remembered his father, Jeff, who always criticized his stubborn nature, his reckless and risky decisions and his involvement of his brother in all of this, and that was the last thing he said to Ash and it offended him not a little, it would mean that he was right when he thought of him as a reckless fool. And if Ash still somehow managed to escape this Wailord but lost his brother, Ritchie forever, before finding a way back home, how could he face his family, especially his father, after the tragedy of losing his own brother? It made Ash realize that surely his father had a point all along, and that his refusal to give up really was a terrible thing. Then Rillaboom speaks up again, deciding to further rub salt in Ash's wound).
Rillaboom: Well, I have never met your dad, but he sounds brilliant. (Having hit his breaking point with Rillaboom and seeing that Rillaboom was willing to Kick the Dog by quite harsh telling him what he just now, Ash yells back at Rillaboom).
Ash: Just go in a corner and SMASH multiple stuff, SMASH MANKEY! (Then Rillaboom gets truly angry as begins slamming his fists about as he comes close to flying into a destructive tantrum as he begins jumping around and smashing things).
Rillaboom: I... AM... MORE...THAN A GUY... WHO SMASHES THINGS! (Rillaboom then gets into Ash's Face, before they hear a noise coming from the Wailord. Then they look to the cavernous path from which they came from and see a gust of wind coming their way, which sends a Tentacool flying into Rillaboom's face. Before the gust of wind knocks Ash and Rillaboom flying into the air before they crash into something that keeps them from going further into the Wailord's stomach).
(Outside the Wailord's stomach, it turns out that the Wailord just burped, releasing a small bubble, before falling asleep again).
(When they recover, and things settle down again, Rillaboom pulls the Tentacool off his Face, then Ash and Rillaboom see that they landed near Rillaboom's kart which still has its second rocket barrel left. Ash and Rillaboom give each other the smuggest grins they can as they know what they are going to do next).
(Moments later, the Wailord's burst open again, in mere moments, the Wailord splashed to the surface due to suddenly getting indigestion, then it belches and coughs up the thing that gave it indigestion... ASH AND RILLABOOM! THEY ESCAPED! They managed to escape using the leftover barrel missile as a Rocket Barrel, finding it to be the Chekhov's Blaster they needed. While the Wailord returns to the Seas it called home, Ash cheered with Rillaboom sounding overjoyed with this pleasant turn of events. And best of all, Ash and Rillaboom were willing to put their differences aside and help save everyone while keeping a Friendly Rivalry with each other).
Ash: That was amazing!
Rillaboom: Now we are even! (Then the two began to fly the Rocket Barrel back towards the Berry Kingdom, to Stop Koraidon, save Ritchie, Floette (Eternal Flower), Sylveon, and of course Princess Serena. They just hoped that they could arrive in time and be able to save them before it too late).
[A/N #1: It was incredibly hard stay focused while working on this chapter but not for any bad reasons exactly. It was more like I was overwhelmed by a case of the Giggles because of how Hilariously Corny and Silly Bowser is when he tries to be romantic, like the scene of his Proposal to Princess Peach. Sure, he had a couple of funny moments before this (whether he was trying to act romantic or not) but this scene of his Marriage Proposal truly takes the cake. (Or should I say, "Wedding Cake"?). And I doubt that anyone going into "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" For the first time (whether they played any Mario Game Prior to seeing the movie or not) was expecting Bowser to be as comically funny as he was. Heck, I was not expecting Bowser to be as Hilarious as he ended up being. But I credit his actor, Jack Black for that. Anyway, while doing Bowser's Proposal scene I had to stop working for a minute or two to get control of my giggling because Bowser's tries to be suave/romantic are just so FREAKING hilarious, that I am not even joking with how funny he is sometimes. And my immediate reaction, to hearing Bowser say that his Love for Princess Peach made him come his shell makes me want to tell him, "Hey Bowser, you are not good at flirting or being Romantic" while stifling my giggles. (While also avoiding becoming Bowser's Next Meal or ending up scorched by his Fire Breath). In fact, it makes me wish that Game Versions of Bowser could be as funny as he is in this movie. In all seriousness, I cannot remember the last time I played a Mario Game (any of them, regardless of its genre) and found anything Bowser said or did funny. (Although him turning into Dry Bowser in the final cutscene of the "Bowser's Jr. Journey" side story of "Mario and Luigi's Bowser Inside Story" 3DS Remake does come to mind). Anyway, Thanks for reading my rant about Bowser].
Replies to my reviewers:
Ashpoke55: Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it. Since I always put 110% Effort in all my Chapters and Stories. As for "Ash 150 Pokémon Force" Season 2, I do have another Story I am going to be doing after finishing "The Super Ketchum Bros." before returning to work on the "Ash 150" Series. But do not worry, aside from the time it will take me to get the story prepared and the story's first chapter finished, I will upload with the same sort of frequency I do with "The Super Ketchum Bros.". So no, worries. And do not worry, you can expect new Chapters of "The Ashes of Confidence" Published close to every weekend in the meantime. Speaking of which, if you have been wondering why I have been a little slower on the updates for that story, it is because I have been I have been working on a little project that will help me with future chapters of the Story as a whole. That is all I can say for right now but may (or may not) give more details on what the "little project" when I upload the next chapter of that story. Till then, enjoy. :)
