Chapter 22: A Gym on the Sea
Mario and friends are sailing across the sea.
Peach: Mario, let out your Koopamon and chose your three for the next match.
Mario: Okay.
Mario releases Boss Bass, Glurp, Amazee Dayzee, Ameboid, and Parabeetle.
Roy: Woah, man. Get one more... How about this?
Roy hands Mario a Koopaball.
Mario: Wow! Who is it?
Roy: It's... It's my Koopamon Thwack. I've had him as long as Cleft and H Cleft and I want you to have him.
Mario: Thank you so much.
Smithy: Now you have six. Our next stop is Earthrock Isle.
Roy: You kidding me?
Smithy: No. Why?
Roy: Two years and ten months ago, when I was ten, Dad thought I was old enough to go on my own. This is where I went.
Smithy: Wow. Listen, Mario… I know the leader. His name is Wario. I think you know him.
Mario: WARIO! NO WAY!
Peach: Wow!
Smithy: It's right up ahead. I heard rumors though that Wario set his gym under the island.
Mario: Let's go then.
They sail off and Earthrock Isle comes into view.
Smithy: There it is.
Mario: Let's dock.
Roy: I can't wait.
They dock and get on the island and begin searching around.
Peach: Excuse me, sir. Do you know where the gym is?
Mushroomer: Yes I do. Over by the shop is an outhouse. People don't normally expect it, but it isn't any outhouse. It is an elevator that goes down to an underground tunnel. It is a maze of tunnels that lead to the stadium.
Mario: Thank you.
They run off to
the outhouse and enter.
Chapter 23: Underground and Undersea Maze
Mario and the gang are seen walk down a hall of brick walls with torches on them. The entire floor is unbreakable glass, through which they can see the sea that is under it.
Smithy: Wow. This place is awesome.
Roy: Like so totally wicked.
Mario: None of that, Roy.
Roy: Wassup with you, foo dog?
Mario: I said NONE OF THAT.
Peach: This is
a maze. We made about fourteen turns so far and we’re getting
nowhere.
Smithy: I know. I hear sound. Follow it.
They take a left, another left, six rights, four lefts, one right, go down a set of stairs, go down a hall, and into a room with a huge stadium hanging from the ceiling over a pit of mud and rocks. Wario is at the other end of the pit looking across right at Mario.
Wario: You. Well, well, well. Have you become a trainer, Mario?
Mario: Yes I have.
Wario: Great. A match then. I have three Koopamon but it'll be a nice five on five.
Mario: How?
Wario: WALUIGI!
Waluigi runs in.
Waluigi: Oh yeah. Challengers.
Wario: It'll be me and Waluigi against you and one of them against me and Waluigi. All four of us can use two Koopamon. If you beat our four, the fifth one which I own will combat against one of yours not used.
Mario: Oh, cool.
Wario: Who'll battle us with you?
Mario: Who wants to help me?
Peach: I already helped you in this kind of match and I stunk, so not me.
Smithy: I will.
Wario: Okay. Begin.
Chapter 24: Combat for a Final Badge
Wario: GO THWOMP!
Waluigi: GO THWACK!
Mario: GO GLURP!
Smithy: GO Mecha-Blooper!
Wario: Sandstorm.
Waluigi: Toxic!
Thwomp spins rapidly, sending sand up into the room while Thwack squirts globs of toxic goo all around the room. The sand and toxic damage Glurp.
Smithy: HAHA! NO EFFECT! RAIN DANCE!
Mecha-Blooper showers the room and a huge downpour begins.
Mario: Ice Beam, Glurp!
Wario: Protect.
Thwomp pulls up a shield while Thwack is receiving the full blast.
Waluigi: Strengthen.
Thwack begins powering up.
Mario: Poison Gas!
Glurp shoots out clouds of toxic gas towards the two opponents.
Wario: Hehe! Mud Shot.
Thwomp fires mud at the clouds, exploding them.
Smithy: Torpedo Missile.
Mecha-Blooper fires out missiles, which explode all around the room.
Mario: Smithy.
It's still raining, so pull out some kind of water attack.
Glurp, use your
ice pellets.
Glurp fires chunks of ice at Thack. The move hits but the pellets all bounce off.
Waluigi: DONE! SELF DESTRUCT!
Mario and Smithy: WHAT?
Wario: NOT NOW, WALUIGI!
Thwack bounces to the arena center and explodes, causing an explosion taking up the whole arena. Four knocked out Koopamon are blown to their trainers.
All Four: RETURN!
Wario: I said only when we’re loosing to use that.
Waluigi: We were going to. That stupid robo-thing wasn't going down with our normal assaults.
Wario: True. Anyway, we each have another so select quickly.
Mario: GO A DAYZEE!
Smithy: GO MECHA-KOOPA!
Wario: GO WHOMP!
Waluigi: GO THWACK!
Mario: Another one.
Waluigi: Hehehehe!
Wario: Oh! That one.
Smithy: BEGIN!
Mario: PETAL DANCE!
Petals rain down with the downpour of rain dance. Mario sees that the room beneath the stadium is begining to fill up slowly. The petals fire at the two enemies.
Waluigi: Rock Blast.
Thwack throws rocks at them.
Smithy: HYPER BEAM!
Mechakoopa jumps in the way and plows apart the rocks with the beam and blows back Thwack.
Wario: Whomp, use your Body Slam.
Whomp comes down on Amazee Dayzee and rolls over on Mechakoopa.
Mario: PETAL BLAST!
Petals explode and fly all around the room. They dart into and start slicing into Whomp.
Wario: NNNNNOOOOOOO!
Smithy: HEADBUTT!
Mechakoopa springs up and shoots Whomp through the air. He crashes on Thwack.
Waluigi: NO! RAPID SPIN!
Thwack throws Whomp off him and Whomp lands on his feet.
Wario: Split Up.
Whomp breaks down into four smaller ones and they run around.
Wlauigi: THWACK, USE YOUR MORPHING CHARGE!
Thwack begins glowing.
Smithy and Mario: HYPER BEAM!
Mario: SLUDGE BOMB!
The two beams combine and sludge fills it and they collide with the Whomps. They fuse back into Whomp, who drops out.
Wario: Return. It's all up to you, Waluigi!
Waluigi: MORPH NOW!
Thwack glows until he becomes pure white in a flash and shoots up in size. The flash wears off to reveal a Thwack Totem.
Mario: He evolved.
Smithy: Ember Wave.
Mechakoopa shoots embers all over.
Waluigi: End this! TOTEM BEAMS!
Each segment of the Koopamon faces a different direct and fires a beam. Amazee Dayzee dives to the ground beneath the beams as Mechakoopa is shot down.
Smithy: Return!
Smithy jumps to the side and cheers Mario on like Wario is doing Waluigi.
Smithy: Good luck, Mario.
Mario: Toxic.
The globs poison Thwack Totem.
Mario: Just dodge now.
Waluigi: REFRESH!
Thwack Totem glows and cures the poisoning.
Mario: Darn. Petal Blast.
The petals cut the rain as they fall and hack at Thwack Totem, causing it to shake.
Smithy: MARIO! NOW!
Mario: RAM IT!
Waluigi: NNNNNOOOOOOOO!
Amazee Dayzee rams it, knocking the segments off to create four Thwacks who leap frog each other around the room.
Waluigi: Hurry and stack up.
The Thwacks line up to stack.
Mario: Bad one.
Waluigi: Eep.
Mario SOLAR BEAM!
Amazee Dayzee sends a beam crashing through the segments, knocking them out.
Waluigi: Return.
Waluigi goes to the side, Wario jumps in, Mario recalls Amazee Dayzee, and Wario grins.
Wario: Well done. We each have one more and mine is staying alive.
Mario: We'll see. GO B BASS!
Wario: GO MOON CLEFT! USE METEOR MASH!
Mario: RAIN DANCE!
The rain showers down harder and stars begin crashing everywhere.
Mario: Bounce around away from them.
Wario: Boulder up.
Moon Cleft becomes a boulder and rolls into Boss Bass, throwing it across the room, ricocheting it off the wall, into the ceiling, and down to the floor.
Mario: NNNOOOOO! HYDRO PUMP!
The blast hits.
Wario: Ram it.
Moon Cleft shoots through the blast unharmed and rams Boss Bass across the room.
Mario: Oh god.
Wario: He can't be harmed.
Mario: What to do, what to do?
Mario examines the room until he eyes the area beneath the stadium.
Mario: Yes! Boss Bass, avoid it and Hydro Pump off the side.
Due to this move set, the room quickly fills up until water is seeping onto the arena and around the feet of the trainers.
Wario: NO!
Mario: Heh!
Wario: AAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH! HYPER BEAM!
Moon Cleft begins blasting the walls, ceiling, and every other part of the room. Boss Bass dives beneath the water to avoid the beams. The water geysers up all around.
Mario: NOW! HYDRO PUMP!
Boss Bass shoots up in a geyser, bounces out, and bombs Moon Cleft with a surprise attack, throwing him across the room.
Wario: OH NNNNNNOOOOOOO!
Moon Cleft hits the wall and drops into the water. Cleft rises up knocked out.
Wario: Return. Amazing stuff, Mario.
A few minutes later they are outside at Smithy’s ship.
Wario: Take the Golem Badge.
Mario takes it.
Mario: Thank you.
Smithy: It's time, Mario.
Mario: I know.
Wario: What?
Mario: This is badge eight. I'm heading to the Elite four.
Wario: Wow! Well, in case you don't know, it's far north at the Sky Tower.
Mario: Thank you.
With that they
leave with a goodbye to Wario. Will Mario be able to take out the Elite
Four or will Mario finally go down? Find out in the next chapter.
Chapter 25: To the Last Location
Mario and friends are sailing over the sea to their last stop at the Sky Tower.
Mario: Oh boy oh boy. I can't wait.
Smithy: Me neither. This is it, Mario. The last stop. The Sky Tower which holds he five most powerful trainers in the world.
Peach: Oh wow. Now you’re not going to surprise us by saying you’re an Elite Four member, are you?
Smithy: Don't worry. I'm no Elite Four member here.
Roy: Like, where is it?
Smithy: Not too much further ahead.
Two shadows fly around overhead.
Mario: What was that?
The sound of something dropping is heard and Kamek, Kammy, and Yaridovich jump out.
Smithy: Oh come on.
Mario: Let's get this over with.
Kamek: Ficety, are we? Okay then... we'll challenge you.
Yaridovich: I don't think so.
Kammy: What?
Yaridovich: Just me. I'm pummeling him.
Kamek: And we’re helping.
Yaridovich: No.
Kammy: WE ARE SO!
Yaridovich: NO!
Yaridovich swats Kammy overboard. Kamek backs away.
Kamek: They are all yours.
Yaridovich: Double battle, and I want Smithy in this.
Smithy: Fine Yaridovich.
Yaridovich: Let's go, Plumber and Smith.
Smithy: IT'S SMITHY!
Yaridovich: I CHOOSE GLOOMTAIL AND BONETAIL!
Mario: GO BOSS BASS!
Smithy: GO MECHA CHOMP!
Yaridovich: Double Flamethrower.
Both dragons shoot out a stream of fire.
Mario: Rain Dance and Hydro Pump.
The rain puts out the fire and the hydro pump hits Gloomtail’s chin and throws his head up, flipping him into the water. He surfaces and stays afloat.
Yaridovich: Bone Spread.
Bonetail flings around.
Smithy: Fire Rings.
Mecha-Chomp fires rings of fire, igniting the bones and throwing them back into Bonetail.
Smithy: Crunch!
Mecha-Chomp bites Bonetail’s leg and pulls it off. He falls apart into the water as Gloomtail springs out.
Smithy: Thunder!
Mario: Ice Beam.
A twin beam of ice and electricity strikes Gloomtail, and he freezes over in an electrified block of ice. Bonetail’s head bounces onto the boat and chases Mecha-Chomp.
Smithy: Run, run, run. Use your Iron Grip.
Mecha-Chomp spins, grips Bonetail’s head in his jaws, and flings him into the frozen Gloomtail, and they both topple into the water. Bonetail rises knocked out and Gloomtail pounces out.
Yaridovich: DRAGON BREATH, HYPER BEAM, FLAMETHROWER, POISON BEAM!
Four beams fire out, colliding with the ship as Sky Tower comes into view. An explosion occurs and the ship begins to crumble in the explosion. The explosion intensifies and Gloomtail is seem flying unconscious through the sky. He crash lands on an island.
Yaridovich: NNNNNNOOOOOOOO!
Yaridovichs body is seem crumbling and he disintegrates down to dust and blows away.
Kamek: YARIDOVICH, YOU FOOL!
Kamek is catapulted through the sky. He lands inside a volcano and it erupts.
Smithy: GOING DOWN! ABANDON SHIP.
They jump overboard and swim to the tower, which has no door but instead a big, door-shaped space on the water that goes onto the tiled floor. They swim inside and get on land as the ship explodes.
Lady: Welcome to the Sky Tower. Are one of you here to challenge the Elite Four?
Mario: That is me.
Roy: Yeah, him.
Lady: Eeerrrrrrr, okay. Badges, please.
Mario shows his badges and the lady smiles.
Lady: Okay Mr…
Mario: Mario.
Lady: Okay. Through that door, Mr. Mario. Your friends can watch your match on that television there.
Mario: Okay.
Smithy, Peach, and Peach: Good luck, Mario!
Mario goes in
the next room, which is an elevator. As it goes up he is wondering what’s
next. Will he win? Find out in the next chapter.
Chapter 26: Enormous Electric Emenies Electrify
The elevator stops and Mario enters a round room with torches on the wall that emit sparks. Bowyer is at the other end of the room.
Mario: Who are you?
Bowyer: Bowyer I am!
Mario: You're Smithy's brother.
Bowyer: Correct you are.
Mario: Well, nice to meet you. How will our battle go?
Bowyer: Three on three will it be?
Mario: Okay then!
Bowyer: Begin we shall. Big Sparky I select!
Mario: GO A DAYZEE!
Bowyer: THUNDER SPREAD!
Big Sparky fires bolts of electricity all over the place and they bounce around the room. Amazee Dayzee franticly dodges.
Bowyer: GROUND RUNNER!
Big Sparky pounds the ground, launching sparks everywhere around the room. Amazee Dayzee is now clinging to the wall.
Mario: Sludge Bomb!
Amazee Dayzee fires sludge bombs at Big Sparky.
Bower: REFLECT!
Big Sparky makes a shiny wall that blocks most of the damage. Big Sparky is still tossed back and the lightning bolts fade out.
Mario: PETAL BLAST!
Bowyer: LIGHT SCREEN!
Bowyer puts up a light screen and Big Sparky is now protected from 50% damage of all attacks.
Mario: I know what to do. TOXIC!
Amazee Dayzee globs him and he drops from poison.
Bowyer: RETURN! GO AMP!

The blasts collide and form a giant, frozen pillar.
Bowyer: SHOCKWAVE!
Electro Blooper bolts the pillar and electrifies it.

Mario: Rain Dance!
The rain falls.

Mario: BOUNCE!
Boss Bass bounces over the blast.
Bowyer: NOW SHOCKWAVE IT!
Being soaked, Electro Blooper is electrified as the blast goes out. Boss Bass lowers under it!
Mario: HYDRO PUMP!

Bowyer: Return. Good you are. Congratulations! Proceed with luck.
Mario: Thank you.
Bowyer: See you when you win or lose.
Mario enters the elevator and goes up to the next floor and comes out.
Mario: DAISY!
Daisy: Hi Mario! I am so glad to see you here.
Mario: I never expected you to be here.
Daisy: Well I am and I say three on three.
Mario: And I say okay.
Daisy: BEGIN!

The blast blows Thwack into a wall and the boulders burry and knock out Ice Snifit!
Both: Return.
Daisy: That was just a warm-up.
Mario: Same here, Daisy. GO AMEBOID!
Daisy: Prepare to go down, Mario! GO ICE PUFF!
Mario: OH MY GOD! I HAVE ONE OF THOSE!
Daisy: Wow! Mine is better, though! USE BOLT!
Ice Puff chases Ameboid around, dropping lightning bolts.
Mario: MIRROR COAT!
A bolt hits Ameboid but he generates and lets loose a giant blast, throwing both Koopamon into a wall.
Daisy: HAIL!
Hail falls and pelts Ameboid!
Mario: HYDRO PUMP THE CEILING!
Daisy: What?
The water with the hail freezes the ceiling and any hail bits that were aimed at Ameboid hit the hydro pump and are shot into Ice Puff.
Daisy: ICY WIND!
The wind freezes Ameboid.
Mario: Break out!
Ameboid's ice block shakes.
Daisy: CRASH FLASH!
Ice Puff makes the room crash with a big boom and unfortunatly for it, it causes the frozen ceiling to drop and fall on them. The ice block breaks, freeing Ameboid and knocking Ice Puff out.

Mario gasps.
Mario: HYDRO PUMP!

Both: POISON GAS!
The gasses combine and toxicate the ice block.
Both: HYDRO PUMP!
The blasts fuse on the ice block, forming icicles all over it.
Daisy: VOLT ROPE!
The volt rope pulls and hangs the block in the air.
Mario: SWIFT!
The stars hit the block, swinging it. Both Glurps frantically dodge the swinging, toxicated, spiked block of ice. Both are hit into a wall.
Mario: Ice Beam from the floor up.
Daisy: RAM IT!
Daisy's Glurp slides along the floor to Mario's, who forms a wall of ice. Daisy's hits the wall and then the ice block hits it and the wall and the wall falls on it.
Daisy: NNNNOOOOOO!
Mario: HYDRO PUMP!
Daisy's Glurp looks up to be hit so hard that the pressure sends it a couple hundred miles a second across the room. It smashes a hole in the wall and drops out.
Daisy: Return! Good job, Mario! Proceed and good luck. My best wishes are for your success.
Mario says goodbye
and enters the elevator, going to his next match.
Chapter 28: Mystic Monsters
The elevator comes to a hault as Mario exits to Kamek.
Mario: What the? How did you get here?
Kamek: Mario? How did you get so far?
Mario: I got here fairly.
Kamek: I did too. Me and Kammy aren't evil. It is our job to use low class Koopamon and randomly attack people who we are told to. Kammy would be here but Yarid's Koopamon took her below the sea and she hasn't surfaced even after the recall of the Koopamon.
Mario: Why pair up with Yarid?
Kamek: We found him scrapped on a beach so we repaired him and he followed us. After turning on us, though, I'm glad you made more than scrap of him.
Mario: Thank you, and can we begin?
Kamek: Three on three?
Mario: Okay.
Kamek: GO SNIFARO!
Mario: GO PARABEETLE!
Kamek: Aerial Ace!

Mario: RETURN! GO THWACK! ROCKSLIDE!
The rocks fly at Snifaro.
Kamek: PSYCHIC!
The rocks stop and fly at Thwack.
Mario: Rock Wall.
A wall of rock shoots up and shoots into Snifaro, destroying the boulders.
Kamek: You do know the switch rule, right?
Mario: No. What is it?
Kamek: Unlike in other battles, you can switch your Koopamon in battle.
Mario: Oh.
Kamek: Return for now. GO OUCHER GLASS! MEAN LOOK!
Oucher Glass fires out a devil-like face, freaking Thwack.
Mario: This is too much. RETURN!
The beam hits and bounces off.
Mario: What?
Kamek: It prevents switch... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! PERISH SONG!
Mario: NO! THWACK, USE YOUR QUAKE!
The ground shakes and a rock spike shoots from the ground and catapults Oucher Glass through the air and into a wall. Thwack glows and evolves to Thwack Totem.
Kamek: Oh poot.
Mario: TOTEM BEAM!
Beams fire all over and Oucher Glass is hit out.
Kamek: RETURN! GO EEKER! MYSTIC HEAT!
Heat waves fly everywhere and Thwack Totem drops before they hit.

Mario: Ice Beam!
The beams connect and Eeker is blown into a knockout while Boss Bass bounces away from the beam.
Kamek: RETURN! GO SNIFARO!
The lone Snifaro comes out.
Mario: HYDRO PUMP!
Kamek: Psychic.
The hydro pump stops and fires back into Boss Bass, throwing him into a wall.
Kamek: Can you not handle the power of psychic Koopamon?
Mario: I need to think and fast.... Hmmmmmmm.
Kamek: BULLET BARRAGE!
Mario: BOUNCE!
Boss Bass bounces over them.
Mario: I have an idea. ICE BEAM THE WALL BEHIND YOU!
Boss Bass fully freezes the wall behind him.
Kamek: What?
Mario: HYPER BEAM, B BASS!
The beam fires at Snifaro.
Kamek: DO YOU NOT LEARN? PSYCHIC!
The beam stops and fires back at Boss Bass!
Mario: You lose, Kamek!
Kamek: WHAT?
Mario: BOUNCE!
Boss Bass bounces over the beam and it hits the frozen wall, which poses as a mirror and bounces the beam back into Snifaro, throwing him into a wall and knocking him out.
Kamek: No... Return. Mario, I never expected you to be THAT good. Either way, you won and I congratulate you. Mario, you are one step closer to victory. Press on with the best of luck.
Mario says goodbye and gets on the elevator going to his next match. Find out in chapter 29 if Mario can win.
