Part 3: What a Team!
Mario and Luigi leave Lake Verity through the trees.
Luigi: That girl seemed upset that we used those monsters.
Mario: Hey Luigi! They’re up ahead!
Luigi sees the girl and man in front of them. He and Mario dive behind a bush. They listen to the conversation.
Girl: I’m not sure what might have happened to the two Pokemon!
Man: Hmm… Well, we’ll find out more at the lab.
The man and girl leave.
Mario: I wonder who they are. Well, we'd better get home, Luigi. Uh… Luigi?
Luigi: GAH!!! Birds!
Mario: Let’s get out of here!
Mario and Luigi rush back to their house. They are surprised to see Johanna at their door.
Johanna: Oh, there you are. I apologize for shutting the door on you earlier. I’m worried about my son.
Meanwhile on Plit...
Tom and Lucas are being brought down to the dungeon by the Koopalings.
Lucas: Well, these are some pretty smart Pokemon.
Tom: Sure are!
They get to the dungeon and see Spinies, Goombas, Paratroopas, etc.
Tom: WHHOOOAAAA!!!!
Dollar signs appear in Tom’s eyes. He snaps pictures of all the Koopas, Goombas, Paratroopas, etc. in the room.
Tom: Woohoo! We’re gonna be rich, Lucas!
Tom and Lucas are shoved into their cell and locked in.
Tom: If we escape.
Ludwig: Okay! Let’s go make plans to destroy the Mushroom Kingdom now that the Marios are gone! *crazy laugh from Mario Cartoon*
Back in the Sinnoh Region...
Johanna is sitting with the Marios at their breakfast table as they drink some coffee.
Johanna: So what brings you two to the Sinnoh Region?
Mario: Well, we come from a totally different world than this world actually.
Luigi: Yeah, one moment we were having breakfast and the next thing we know, we’re here.
Johanna: ??? Hmm… That sounds odd. Well, you two should start getting Pokemon while you’re here. If you find the right one, who knows? Maybe you could get home with it.
Mario: Hmm…
Johanna: Ask Professor Rowan, he lives in Sandgem Town. He researches Pokemon.
Luigi: Professor Rowan?
Mario: Does he happen to have a gray beard and wear a white coat?
Johanna: You met him?
Luigi: We were attacked by these weird birds and took these strange balls out of his suitcase. These monsters inside of them helped us.
Mario and Luigi take the Pokeballs out of their pockets and set them on the table.
Johanna: Oh, Pokeballs. These are used to keep and capture Pokemon.
Mario: What are Pokemon? We’ve been hearing a lot about them lately.
Johanna: Pokemon are the creatures in this world. We humans use them for workers and companions. Then there are also Pokemon Trainers, who train their Pokemon in battles so that they can set out on a journey to make it to the Pokemon League.
Mario and Luigi: O.O
Johanna: By the way, what Pokemon do you have in those Pokeballs?
Mario and Luigi press the buttons on the Pokeballs and the turtle and chimp come out.
Johanna: Oh! How cute!
Mario and Luigi press the buttons and the chimp and turtle are zapped back in the Pokeballs.
Luigi: We'd better return these to Professor Rowan, Mario!
Mario: You’re right.
Mario and Luigi get up from the table. Johanna gets up too.
Mario: Luigi, I think this is a new adventure.
Luigi: AWW! I just got my suitcase unpacked from the last one!
Luigi goes into his and Mario’s bedroom to pack.
Johanna: Well, I'd better go home. And Mr… Mario, is it?
Mario: Yes.
Johanna: If you find my son, please bring him home.
Mario tips his hat to Johanna and nods.
Johanna: Well, see you later, boys! Stop by my house if you need anything!
Johanna is sucked into a plothole.
Mario: O.O This story’s getting weird.
Mario goes into his and Luigi’s room. He finds Luigi packing Mushrooms, clothes, and sleeping bags into their suitcases.
Mario: Luigi? Wouldn’t it be easier to carry backpacks?
Mario points to two backpacks on his bed.
Luigi: >.<
Luigi throws all the stuff into the backpacks.
Luigi: Let’s go give these things back to the professor!
Mario: Right!
Mario and Luigi open the door to leave the house. Johanna is standing right outside.
Mario and Luigi: GAAHHH!!!
Johanna: Hi boys! I thought these would help you!
Johanna gives Mario and Luigi two pairs of sneakers.
Luigi: What are these for?
Johanna: They’re running shoes! Put those on and it’ll be much easier to run to wherever you’re going!
Mario and Luigi put the shoes on and put their old shoes in their room.
Mario: Thanks, Johanna!
Johanna: No problem!
Johanna is sucked into another plothole.
Luigi: O.O
Mario: Come on.
Mario and Luigi run back to the forest they went into to get to Lake Verity. They see some tall grass and a sign. They read the sign.
“-> This way to Sandgem Town.”
Mario: Let’s go!
They go through the tall grass. They read another sign.
“You are on Route 201.”
They continue through the tall grass until they are attacked by another bird!
Luigi: This time I’m prepared for you!
Luigi throws out his Pokeball. The turtle comes out.
Luigi: Attack!
The turtle tackles the bird. The bird tackles the turtle.
Luigi: Attack again! Use all your might!
The turtle tackles the bird with as much force as it can. The bird faints. The turtle rejoices and goes into its shell and spins around happily. It comes out of its shell and jumps into Luigi’s arms.
Luigi: I guess it’s never done that before. Good job, buddy!
Luigi presses the button on the Pokeball again and the turtle is zapped into the Pokeball.
Mario: Next battle’s mine.
Mario and Luigi continue through the tall grass. They run through the tall grass and come across some more a little bit further up north. They run to the tall grass and see a lady. They go to her.
Mario: Hi!
Lady: Oh hi! Did you know I work at the Pokemon Mart?
Luigi: No. We just met you.
Lady: Well I do! Ha ha! Hey! Did you know a Pokemon in battle can get really, really weak if it takes too much damage?
Mario: Well, yeah, sorta.
Lady: Yeah! It’s true! Ha ha! Hey! Why don’t I give you this free potion to help you and your Pokemon? Come on. Take it.
Mario: Oh, thanks, but we’re actually returning these Poke-
Lady: I SAID TAKE IT!!!
Mario and Luigi: Yes ma’am!
They take the potion. Mario puts it in his backpack.
Lady: Well, I gotta go! Ha ha! Toodles!
The lady leaves.
Luigi: What was that all about?
Mario shrugs. They continue walking through the tall grass until they are jumped by another bird.
Mario: My turn!
Mario throws out his Pokeball and the chimp comes out.
Mario: Attack it!
The chimp scratches the bird. The bird tackles the chimp. The chimp is sent tumbling to the ground. It gets up.
Mario: Attack again!
The chimp scratches the bird again. The bird’s legs begin wobbling. It growls cutely.
Mario: Attack once more!
The chimp scratches the bird but not as hard as the two times before. The bird is defeated and faints.
Mario: Yeah!
The chimp jumps up and down. Suddenly, the bird is set ablaze for about 2 seconds. The fire dies down afterwards. The chimp looks at Mario.
Mario: O.O Wow… I didn’t know you could do that. Unless you just learned it like Luigi’s Pokemon.
Mario presses the button on his Pokeball, and the chimp is zapped back inside of it.
Mario and Luigi finally reach Sandgem Town. They see the girl from the lake upon reaching the town.
Girl: Oh! You two are the men from the lake! I’m Dawn! The professor wants to talk to you!
Mario: He does?
Dawn: Yeah. Come with me!
Mario and Luigi follow Dawn into a building. Inside they see computers, machines, and scientists. At the other side of the room is Professor Rowan.
Prof. Rowan: Ah, hello there, gentlemen! I see you’ve met my assistant!
Mario and Luigi: Assistant?
Mario and Luigi look at Dawn. She winks at them and smiles.
Luigi: She’s a pretty young assistant.
Prof. Rowan: Ten years old with great ambitions. She helps me with my research. But anyway, I wanted to talk to you about those Pokemon at the lake.
Mario: Okay! We can explain! You see-
Luigi: There were these birds!
Mario: Yeah! And they attacked us and so-
Prof. Rowan: Gentlemen, don’t worry. I’m sure you had a very good reason for using them. I just need you two to return them to me, please.
Luigi: Oh.
Mario: Why didn’t you say so?
Mario and Luigi hand the professor their Pokeballs. The Pokeballs burst open and the chimp and turtle come out. They run over to Mario and Luigi.
Prof. Rowan: Hm?
Prof. Rowan throws a Pokeball at the chimp to make it go inside. The chimp slaps the Pokeball back. The professor tosses the Pokeball at the turtle. The turtle headbutts it back.
Prof. Rowan: Hm. These Pokemon seem to have become attached to you. I know! Let me make a deal with you!
Mario: Deal?
Mario and Luigi pick the Pokemon up and hold them in their arms.
Prof. Rowan: I have these two Pokedexes. A Pokedex is something that holds data on all Pokemon. However, it can’t get data until it sees a Pokemon. I can’t fill these Pokedexes because I’m too busy here at the lab. Will you two fill these Pokedexes with data on all sorts of Pokemon if I give you Chimchar and Turtwig?
Luigi looks at the turtle in his arms.
Luigi: Turtwig?
Mario looks at the chimp he’s holding.
Mario: Chimchar?
Mario and Luigi look at the professor.
Mario: Sure.
Prof. Rowan: Good! Oh, sir?
Mario: Yes?
Prof. Rowan: Your shirt’s on fire.
Mario: … H-ho-HOT!!!
Mario drops Chimchar and starts waving his arm around. Dawn grabs a bucket of water from nowhere and splashes Mario with it. The arm of his shirt is black and torn.
Prof. Rowan: You have to be careful about holding Chimchar. That fire on his bottom is a bit hot.
Mario: Thanks… for the… tip.
Luigi: Professor?
Prof. Rowan: Yes?
Luigi: We have a situation.
Prof. Rowan: Tell me about it.
Luigi explains about their house winding up in Twinleaf Town and how they need to get back to their world.
Prof. Rowan: Oh dear.
Luigi: Do you know of any Pokemon or machine that could get us back?
Prof. Rowan: I’m afraid not.
Mario and Luigi fall down anime-style.
Prof. Rowan: However, there are Pokemon out there that can do many great things. Perhaps there’s one out there that can help you with your situation.
Mario and Luigi spring back to their feet.
Mario: Then we just have to find that Pokemon!
Prof. Rowan: Here, let me get you situated for your journey.
Prof. Rowan gives Mario and Luigi each a Pokedex and five Pokeballs each. Then he gives them the Pokeballs for Chimchar and Turtwig. They zap Chimchar and Turtwig back into their Pokeballs.
Prof. Rowan: Well, I hope you two find your way home!
Mario and Luigi: Thanks, Professor.
Mario and Luigi open the door to leave.
Mario and Luigi: Bye!
Prof. Rowan: Good luck!
Dawn: Have an exciting adventure!
Mario and Luigi leave the building.
Prof. Rowan: What a team.
