Mario is walking through a random road when some random Goombas assault him.
Goombas: We are guarding the Powerful Pasta Statue!
Excited because of the pasta, Mario kicks away the Goombas and is about to bite the statue when…
Iggy: MARIO!! WAKE UP!
Mario: Huh? YOU JUST INTERRUPTED MY %%&^()^$$%%^^*&(*&$^ FREAKIN’ PASTA DREAM!!!
Iggy: We were supposed to meet E. Gadd, remember?
Mario: Oh yeah. WE’RE FREAKIN’ LATE!
Iggy: I know! Hurry up!
At E. Gadd’s…
Iggy: Sorry we’re late, Prof! What is it?
E. Gadd: First, don’t call me Prof. Second, I called you so that you could be the first Fusemon trainers!
Mario and Iggy: Fusemon?
E. Gadd: When I was bored, I thought I could make an experiment. I inserted Pokemon DNA into random baddies. The result was Fusemon, baddies fused with Pokemon.
Mario and Iggy: Oh.
E. Gadd: Unfortunately, since you were late, there are only two starter Fusemon left, the Tweekachu (Tweeter and Pikachu) and the Koopuirtle (Koopa and Squirtle). The others were taken already.
Mario: Ok, I’ll take the-
Iggy: MINE!
Iggy takes the Koopuirtle.
Iggy: I’ll name you… Hydroshell!
Mario: Aw, nuts. I’m stuck with the Tweekachu! I’ll name you…
Tweekachu (from inside the Fuseball): Actually, my name is Peter. And I don’t like being here.
Mario: YIPE!!!
Peter comes out of the Fuseball. He is a Pikachu with a Tweeter mask and wings.
E. Gadd: Yes, some Fusemon have their own will and mind, and can even talk.
Peter: Thank you. I can be useful during your adventure.
Mario and Iggy: Adventure?
Unfortunately, yes. E. Gadd hands them some Fuseballs and a Fusedex each, and sends them on their way.
Iggy: Okay Peter, you’re the smart one. Which way?
Peter: Okay. It’s-
Suddenly, a Mousettata (Mouser and Rattata) and a Gulpdude (Gulpit and Geodude) leap from the bushes!
Mario and Iggy: YIPE!
They flip out their Fusedexes.
Mario’s Fusedex: Gulpdude, Rockbarf Fusemon. Fusion of Gulpit and Geodude. Rock-Normal-type Fusemon. This Fusemon spits out rocks and punches them at enemies.
Iggy’s Fusedex: Mousettata, Bombermouse Fusemon. Fusion of Mouser and Rattata. Normal-type Fusemon. This Fusemon uses bombs in battle and quickly scuttles away.
Iggy: All right! Go, Hydroshell! Use Hydrowheel on Mousettata!
Mousettata is hit. It counters with Bomb Run while Mario and Peter face off with Gulpdude.
Mario: Peter! Use Electrical Whirlwind!
Peter: Certainly!
Peter does that. Besides being damaged, Gulpdude is blown back and paralyzed. It manages to do Rock Slug and hit Peter.
Peter: Owie!
Back with Iggy, Hydroshell is damaged from Bomb Run and Scratch, but hits Mousettata with Shell Slide. Mousettata attempts a Bomb Lob. It hits both Hydroshell and Mousettata. Iggy then captures Mousettata.
Iggy: Yeah! I got a MOUSETTATA!
Back with Mario and Peter, Peter uses Skydive and hits Gulpdude. Mario lobs a Fuseball at Gulpdude.
Mario: Yes! Mario’s-a got a GULPDUDE!
Peter: And I HELPED!
Mario and Iggy then group together again.
Mario: I named Gulpdude Stonebatter.
Iggy: I named Mousettata Lil’Bombdude.
Peter: Excellent! Shall we continue?
Mario: Yes. Which direction?
Peter: I believe our next destination is Quake City.
Iggy: All right!
Mario: Let’s-a go!
And so with two new Fusemon in their team, Mario and Iggy continue their adventure. After a while, they reach Quake City.
Mario: I want to speak with E. Gadd PRONTO!
They go to the Fusemon Center. Mario speeds to the PC.
Mario: E. Gadd! Why in the name of DAD are there Fusemon EVERYWHERE! THIS IS LIKE A RIPOFF OF POKEMON!
Iggy: You didn’t complain about Stonebatter or Lil’Bombdude…
E. Gadd: Oops. I spread out the Fusemon all over Plit so that you could have an adventure. Your objective is…
He then goes on about what is basically the objective of the actual Pokemon games (without the complete-the-Pokedex thing).
Iggy: So we’ve got to defeat the Fusemon gym leaders and get their badges to challenge the Fusemon League?
E. Gadd: Not you, Iggy. I have other plans for you. You’ll compete in the Power Contests. Win five trophies and you can compete in the Power Parade.
Iggy: Oh.
E. Gadd: Mario’s first gym is in Quake City. You’ll find everything else in the guidebook that I told Peter to give you. Bye!
He logs off.
Mario and Iggy: … You knew all along, didn’t you Peter?
Peter: Yes. Have the guidebook.
Mario: Ok, the gym’s over there. But first…
He jams Peter in his Fuseball and hands his Fuseballs to Nurse Rosalina. Iggy does the same.
Nurse Rosalina: Thanks! I’ll heal them for you!
Back outside…
Peter: Why did you do that? The place’s cramped!
Mario: Because!
At the gym…
Iggy: I wonder where the leader is…
Suddenly, the lights go on. At the back of the gym is…
Susan: My, my, my, it seems that I have a challenger.
Iggy: SUSAN?! WHY IN THE NAME OF DAD ARE YOU HERE?!
Susan I’m Quake City’s gym leader. Cool, huh? Dad said that I should get the job because Bowser is involved with the Fusemon, too. Plus, Larry will be impressed!
Mario: Can we begin? I’m getting sick.
Susan: Oh. GO GULPDUDE!
Mario: Huh? OH, I GET IT! GO STONEBATTER!
Susan: Wow, you have a Gulpdude, too. USE STONE BUNT!
Gulpdude spits out a rock and flicks it toward Stonebatter with its forearms.
Mario: Deflect it and Rock Pound it!
Stonebatter does that and the rock jams into the ground. Suddenly, little stalagmites raise from the floor and surround Gulpdude, jabbing him.
Susan: Why you little… GULPDUDE, USE BARF BARRAGE!
Gulpdude ejects a storm of stones (stones, not rocks) that fall around Stonebatter.
Mario: I didn’t want do do this but… STONEBATTER, USE ARM SHIELD!!!
Stonebatter holds his arms in front of him, and when the stones reach him, he swings, reflecting them.
Susan: You too, Gulpdude!
They volley the stones until they hit both Gulpdude and Stonebatter, knocking them out.
Mario and Susan: Woah…
Mario: Well… I think it’s your turn, Peter.
Peter: I guess.
Susan: Well, I think it’s time for my master Fusemon… GO CLEFTONIX!!!
Susan then lets out a giant, brown stone snake with a spiked head and body and eyes like a Cleft.
Mario: WOAH!
He flips out his Fusedex.
Fusedex: Cleftonix. Spikesnake Fusemon. Ground-Steel-type. Fusion of Cleft and Onix. This Fusemon burrows underground while protected by its spikes.
Mario: All right Peter, use Skydive on its underside!
Peter: GRAH!
Peter, with his own will, knows better. So he electrifies himself and Skydives Cleftonix, who roars in pain and counters with Body Flip and nearly crushes Peter. The spikes spike him, though.
Peter: Ow!
Susan: Haha! Have at you, talking Fusemon! THREAT MAZE!
Cleftonix burrows underground. His spikes form a maze with Cleftonix’s head at the end, taunting Peter.
Peter: DIE!
Unfortunately, Susan forgot that Peter can fly. He gets spiked a little bit anyway as he uses a low Bolt Flick against Cleftonix.
Susan: Fool! WRAP!
Cleftonix rises and coils around Peter, crushing him. Three seconds before a knockout…
Mario: NOW PETER! USE ELECTRICAL WHIRLWIND AT FULL POWER!
Peter: YAH!
With all his might, Peter starts an Electrical Whirlwind that frees him and whirls Cleftonix around him. The electrified Peter is inmune to the spikes.
Peter: FINISH!
The whirlwind ends, and Cleftonix collapses in a knockout.
Susan: Return… Wow, Mario, you’re good. You deserve the Magnitite Badge. Here, have it.
Mario: Thanks!
Susan: By the way… Can I join you?
Peter: (coughing) Sure, why not?
Susan: Great!
Iggy: I think our next destination is Ember Town.
Everyone: All right!
They walk out of the gym. Suddenly, two figures leap out of the bushes.
Figure #1: Stop! You can’t pass!
Figure #2: Yeah! You can’t- SUSAN! WHY ARE YOU HERE?!
Susan: Hey, I know that voice!
Figure #2: Eep! They found us!
The figures take off their hoods to reveal…
Mario: LUIGI?!
Iggy: LEMMY?!
Luigi and Lemmy: Yeah! We’re here!
Iggy: But how’d you get here?
Luigi: Easy. You see, we’re…
Lemmy: The first Fusemon trainers!
Mario: You’re the ones that arrived before us!
Lemmy: Yeah! We challenge you to a starter battle!
Luigi: GO PODOMANDER!
Iggy: I guess… GO HYDROSHELL!
Lemmy: GO PIRANHALBASAUR!
Mario: … Peter?
Peter: Huh? Oh yeah!
He flits into battle while Mario and Iggy open their Fusedexes.
Mario’s Fusedex: Podomander- Firelizard Fusemon. Fire-type. Fusion of Podoboo and Charmander. Partially made of fire, this Fusemon relies on it for its attacks.
Iggy’s Fusedex: Pirahnalbasaur- Fiercebulb Fusemon. Grass-Poison-type. Fusion of Piranha Plant and Bulbasaur. It uses plants and seeds in battle.
Mario: Peter, use Skydive on Piranhalbasaur!
At the last second, Piranhalbasaur uses Pirahna Shield to block Peter.
Luigi: Podomander, use Tackle on the Koopuirtle!
Iggy: Hydroshell, use Withdraw!
Podomander scorches Hydroshell’s shell, causing damage.
Lemmy: USE LEAF CLOUD!
Piranhalbasaur creates a cloud that rains leaves on everybody.
Iggy: HYDROSHELL! USE WATER ROULETTE!
Hydroshell spins and spits out four drops of water, hitting everyone.
Luigi: Podomander, use Combustion!
Lemmy: Piranhalbasaur, use Bomb Seed!
Mario: Peter, use Electrical Whirlwind!
Iggy: Hydroshell, use Water Slam!
A cloud of smoke forms over all four attacks. When it clears, Podomander is knocked out and everyone else is severely injured.
Iggy: Time to end this! Hydroshell, use Hydrowheel!
Peter then helps out, electrifing him. Just when the attack connects…
Lemmy: Poison Wave NOW!
Susan: Oh my gosh!
After another cloud, everyone is knocked out!
Lemmy: A last-ditch resort. You have fought well. May we meet again.
Luigi and Lemmy leave.
Susan: That was weird, but let’s move on!
Everyone: Yes!
Iggy: NOW can we go to Ember Town?
Everyone: Yup.
They continue their journey. After a while, they notice a bush shaking. Suddenly, three Fusemon leap out of it!
Susan: AAAHHHHH!
They’re a Fightergey, a Porcushrew, and a Hammerhita.
Everyone: WOAH!
Mario’s Fusedex: Fightergey, Flybird Fusemon. Bug-Flying-type. Fusion of Fighter Fly and Pidgey. This Fusemon, despite its size, packs a punch!
Iggy’s Fusedex: Hammerhita, Whackfighter Fusemon. Fighting-type. Fusion of Hammer Bro. and Makuhita. Whack ‘em with hammers and smash them, that’s this Fusemon’s way.
Susan’s Makeshift Fusedex That She Made A Couple Of Minutes Back: Porcushrew, Sandhog Fusemon. Ground-type. Fusion of Porcupo and Sandshrew. It digs away to look for prey.
Mario: Go Stonebatter! Ground Fightergey with Stony Uppercut!
The impact causes Fightergey to crashland and be unable to fly.
Susan: Cleftonix, use Threat Maze!
However, Porcushrew digs under it, no prob. He gets a bit spiked, though.
Iggy: Lil’Bombdude, use Double Bomb!
Lil’Bombude’s speed splits him in four. Hammerhita, enraged, lunges, but the Lil’Bombdudes vanish and are replaced with bombs. The real Lil’Bombdude does a “Neener, neener” face when the bombs blow up. The three wild Fusemon counter with Fighterdive, Spike Bomb, and Hammerang.
Mario: ROCK MALLET!
Iggy: DA MICROBOMB!
Susan: BODY FLIP!
They do that, and the Fusemon are captured.
Mario: Yes! Mario’s-a got a SKYBUG!
Iggy: Yeah! I got a HAMMERBOY!
Susan: And I got a PORCUSHREW!
They continue until they get to Ember Town.
Ember Town Person: If you are here for the Power Contest, I’m afraid it has been cancelled.
Iggy: D’OH!!
Susan: Why?
ETP: Some random guys came and wrecked the hall. They called themselves Team Bro or something.
Mario and Iggy: Team Bro… *GASP!* LUIGI AND LEMMY!
Susan: We’ve gotta stop them!
They run inside. They see Luigi setting fire to furniture and Lemmy using his Freeze Gun and shell to wreck everything.
(NOTE: This isn’t an insult to Lemmy. Since Lemmy is Iggy’s twin, I paired him with Luigi to complete the “Bro” theme. That’s the only reason. No offense, Lemmy.)
Team Bro: This is fun! Huh? Oh, you. Wait! D’OH!
Team Fusers (as I’ll call the group composed of Mario, Iggy, Susan, Peter, and their Fusemon now): Why do you do this?
Luigi: Because we wanna!
Lemmy: If we wreck the Power Contest, we’ll reach our goal before you!
Team Bro: WE’D LIKE TO SEE YOU REBUILD THE HALL NOW!
They leave, leaving the Fusers stunned.
Susan: …We have Fusemon, don’t we?
Mario and Iggy: True.
Peter: Let’s get started!
After a grueling day, Team Fusers fix up the hall, leaving the townspeople stunned.
ETP: Thanks a lot! You finished just in time for the Power Contest!
Iggy: Happies!
Mario, Peter, and Susan: We wish you luck!
Team Fusers then enter the Contest Hall, with the Contest Committee trailing behind.
