Episode 5
LAST TIME ON NINTENDOMON...
Mario: I choose you, sphere-shaped inanimate object!
Luigi: They're called Nintendoballs.
?????: Well, my name is Yoshi. I am Nintendomon Researcher. Well, not really. I like to draw Nintendomon.
Officer Daisy: Someone set the Center on fire!
Morton: It is I, Morton Koopa Jr!
Nurse Peach: I'm sorry for asking this of you three. I know that you are all pretty busy, but the center will be closed if you don't do what I'm about to ask you. Since Morton caused a fire, he damaged everything. Most of it could be fixed, but the problem is he damaged one thing that is really necessary, a special valve. You see, this valve is made from plants, believe it or not, and filters medicine to make it even more effective; and since we are low on supplies right now, we can't open without it. As you can see, it is impossible to make that valve here. Why? Well, because we are in the desert. There are two old women who take care of plants who live not that far away from Desertville. They might be able to make one. I think their names are... Zess T. and Tayc T. Could you maybe get that valve? You should also maybe be able to get a Water type Pokemon, there is a lot of water there. That'd be really useful against Rick, the leader of the Desertville Gym.
Mario: What's the point of putting the sign at the foot of a hill?
Tayc T: Hello, my name is Tayc Toad, and that's my sister over there, Zess Toad.
Zess T: On one condition... There is this group of Cheep Cheeps that call themselves the Cheep Cheep Chargers. They overwater our plants, ruin our soil, and flood everything, if you can convince them to stop, we'll give you the valve free. It'll probably be done by the time you get back. You can't miss them, there are four, and they all wear sunglasses.
Nintendex: HI MARIO. IT'S ME, PROFESSOR E. GADD. IF YOU ARE WATCHING THIS MESSAGE, IT MEANS YOUR NINTENDEX GOT UPGRADED, EITHER BY CATCHING A NINTENDOMON WITH A NEW TYPE OF ATTACK, USING A NEW TYPE OF ATTACK, OR BEING HIT BY A NEW TYPE OF ATTACK. YOUR NINTENDEX HAS BEEN UPGRADED WITH THE TYPE: STATIC. SOME BASIC INFO: IT BEATS FLYING AND WATER, IT'S NOT STRONG AGAINST PLANT, AND DOES NO DAMAGE TO ARMOR. WELL HAVE A NICE DAY, AND KEEP GETTING MORE UPGRADES!
Mario: Are you
ready for this?! GO! NINTENDOBALL!
BAM! IT HIT!
IT'S SHAKING...
SHAKING... SHAKING... YES! YOU CAUGHT A Cheep Cheep!
TODAY ON NINTENDOMON...
Mario: Yes! I caught a Cheep Cheep! Now I have a really rare Nintendomon that will help me win the Blaze Seal!
As promised, the Cheep Cheeps let them go, and seeing that their leader has turned good, they do too. They all go to Tayc and Zess T's house. After giving proof that they stopped them, they all go to Desertville with the valve, while avoiding the hill.
Nurse Peach: Why thank you, Mario! I knew you'd get it!
Officer Daisy: And these lone Cheep Cheeps would make great firefighters. What do you guys think?
Cheep Cheeps: CHEEP!!!
Officer Daisy: Then it's settled. You should go ahead and get your Seal, Mario.
Mario: Righty-o!
Luigi: So, which Nintendomon are you going to choose?
Mario: Well, here they are! Go Nintendomon!
Fire Bro: Fire-Bro!!!
Cheep Cheep: Cheep-Chee!!!
Parabuzzy: Para-Para-Buzz!
Yoshi: Those are some nice choices. But I don't think Fire Bro will be able to defeat another Fire Nintendomon. I'd replace him with Koopa, who can learn Water Slide.
Mario: How can I leave Fire Bro out of the action?!
Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi walk to the Desertville Gym. They walk in and see a huge veil of white smoke and see the silhouette of the leader on the other side. He walks towards the heroes and as he exits the smoke, a red Yoshi appears...
Rick: My name is Rick. I am the leader of the Desertville Gym. I guess you want to challenge me.
Mario: Of course!
Rick: Then I hope you’re ready for a beating!
BATTLE START!!
Rick: Go Podoboo!
Mario: Go Parabuzzy!
Rick: Podoboo, use Blaze Tackle!
Mario: Parabuzzy,
use Withdraw!
Parabuzzy RAISED
IT'S RESISTANCE!! Parabuzzy WAS HIT!! NOT VERY EFFECTIVE!!
Mario: Now! Combine
Shed Shell with Hyper Tackle, like we did with Brownie!
SECONDARY EFFECTS
ARE NOW NULL AND VOID!!
Podoboo WAS HIT!!
Rick: Podoboo,
use Firebreath!!
CRITICAL HIT!!
Parabuzzy IS IN PERIL!!
Mario: Oh no!
Parabuzzy! Go on to the defensive! Try to dodge everything you can!
Parabuzzy flew
into the smoke, which served as a veil.
Rick: Oh yeah!
I have an attack for these situations! Podoboo, use Desmog!
The smoke cleared
away, leaving Parabuzzy in the open, but wait!
Rick: What the-
Where's Parabuzzy?!
Mario: Now Parabuzzy,
he's open! Use Hyper Tackle at full speed!
Rick: What in
the world?!
Parabuzzy was
actually flying OVER Podoboo, which is why they didn't see him
Parabuzzy: Para-Para-Buzz!
CRITICAL HIT!!
Podoboo WAS KNOCKED OUT!!
Rick: Darn... Podoboo, return. Now, GO! Red Beetle!
Mario: Oh yeah, now I have the advantage! Parabuzzy, return! Go Cheep Cheep!
Nintendex: RED BEETLE, THE FIRE/ARMOR TYPE NINTENDOMON. IT IS THE ALTERNATE EVOLVED FORM OF BUZZY BEETLE, GIVING HIM A RED SHELL TO HOLD AT THE TIME OF EVOLUTION WILL CAUSE HIM TO TURN INTO RED BEETLE INSTEAD OF PARABUZZY. THE RED SHELLS ON THEIR BACKS ARE SAID TO INCREASE TO TEMPATURES OF 500 DEGREES.
Mario: Ooo... Interesting... Cheep Cheep, we have a definite advantage here! Squirt Gun!
Rick: Red Beetle!
Use Heat Reserve!
Red Beetle WAS
HIT!! SUPER EFFECTIVE!! Red Beetle IS CHARGING HIS FIRE TYPE ATTACKS!!
Mario: Oh, he's planning something, a bad “something”.
Rick: Not just a bad “something”, a horrible “something“!
Mario: No! Not a horrible “something“! That's the worst type of “something“ that there is!
Rick: Will you please stop saying “something“?!
Mario: Sure, why
not. Cheep Cheep, use Fin Slap!
SUPER EFFECTIVE!!
Rick: Red Beetle,
use Rapid Spin and combine it with Firebreath!
Cheep Cheep IS
GETTING HIT MULTIPLE TIMES!! 1-2-3-CRITICAL HIT-4-5-6! Cheep Cheep IS IN
PERIL! FRENZY FISH IS KICKIN' IN!
Mario: End this,
Cheep Cheep! Use Fin Slap!
Red Beetle WAS
KNOCKED OUT!!
Rick: Darn... Red Beetle, return. Now, GO! Fire Bro!
Mario: Oh yeah? I can still win! I still have 2 Nintendomon left! Cheep Cheep, you can do it!
Rick: Fire Bro,
use Helmet Bash.
Cheep Cheep WAS
KNOCKED OUT!!
Mario: Drat! Return! Go Parabuzzy!
Parabuzzy: Para-Para!
Rick: Use Helmet
Bash again.
Parabuzzy WAS
KNOCKED OUT!!
Mario: What?! He KO’D two of my Nintendomon in, like, five seconds! Well this is my last hope! GO! FIRE BRO!
Rick: You have two starter Nintendomon?!
Mario: Well, Fire Bro was my first one, and I caught Cheep Cheep like half an hour ago!
Rick’s Fire Bro: *does the "Bring It" gesture with his hand* Fire Bro.
Mario’s Fire Bro: Fire-Fire-Bro!
Rick: Fire Bro! Use Shell Slam!
Mario: Fire Bro!
Use Charge!
M. Fire Bro WAS
HIT!!
M. Fire Bro IS
CHARGING HIS ATTACK POWER!!
Mario: Now Fire Bro, release your energy in a Shell Shock!
Rick: Shell Shock?
Mario: It's a Static type attck, he learned it with an SMM!
Rick: Darn! My
team doesn't know the new types!
R. Fire Bro WAS
HIT!!
Rick: Fire Bro,
use Helmet Rush!
R. Fire Bro LOWERED
ITS HEAD!
Mario: (Helmet Rush? Let's see it in action, and see if it's worth learning.) Fire Bro, don't dodge, I want to see what this is capable of! In the meantime, use Counter!
Enemy's Fire Bro
RUSHED TOWARD FIRE BRO!!
Fire Bro WAS
HIT!! CRITICAL HIT!! M. Fire Bro USED COUNTER AND DEALT BACK DOUBLE DAMAGE!
R. Fire Bro WAS
KNOCKED OUT!!
BATTLE END...
Rick: Return! Nice battle, Mario. If that last attack wouldn't have been critical, you probably wouldn't have KO’D my Fire Bro and things would've turned out differently.
Mario: Thanks, I think.
Luigi: Good job, Mario!
Yoshi: Yeah, nice battling.
Rick: I, Rick, the leader of the Desertville Gym, hereby present you with the Blaze Seal!!
Mario takes the seal, and spins around Super Mario 64 style.
Mario: I-a got the Blaze Seal! Wahoo!
Rick: Does he always do that when he gets a Seal?
Luigi: Yes.
Mario: Let's-a go!
Rick: Come back and see me win you beat the Elite Cup!
As they exit the gym, they have also learned a valuable lesson: if you’re playing with fire, you’re gonna get burned, and for a few moments, Mario was drenched with gasoline.
Luigi: Yoshi and I are going to see some wild Nintendomon, and hopefully, Yoshi can catch one.
Yoshi: Wanna come with us?
Mario: Nah, I'm too tired, I'll wait here.
As Mario waits in the outskirts of Desertville, he meets an old friend. Well... Not so much.
Wario: Heh? So you beat the Desertville Gym, huh?
Mario: Yeah, just look at my Seals!
Mario shows off the Cafe and Blaze Seals.
Wario: Oh yeah, well look at mine!
Wario shows Mario his Cafe, Blaze, and Wave Seals.
Mario: What?!
Wario: I'm one seal ahead, Mario! And to prove that I'm better, I challenge you!
BATTLE START!!
Wario: Go Fleep Fleep!
Mario: Go Fire Bro!
Wario: You ignorant, your first stage Fire-type can't beat my second stage Water-type, just like Rick.
Mario: Oh yeah?! Fire Bro, use Helmet Bas- What the?
Fire Bro is glowing a bright white!
Mario: He-he-he- He's evolving! Yes!
The evolution melody plays…
CONGRATULATIONS!! YOUR Fire Bro EVOLVED INTO A Blaze Bro!
Mario: ???
Nintendex: BLAZE BRO, THE ARMOR/FIRE TYPE NINTENDOMON. HE IS THE EVOLUTION OF FIRE BRO, AND HIS FIRE ATTACKS ARE CONSIDERBLY STRONGER AND MORE EFFECTIVE. IN THIS STAGE HE CAN NOW LEARN BLAZEBALL, THE STRONGEST FIRE TYPE ATTACK IN EXISTENCE.
Mario: Sweet!
Blaze Bro, use Helmet Bash!
Fleep Fleep WAS
HIT!!
Wario: Fleep Fleep, use Hydro Jump!
Mario: Perfect.
Blaze Bro, let him hit you and use Counter!
Blaze Bro WAS
HIT!! SUPER EFFECTIVE!! Blaze Bro USED COUNTER, AND DEALT DOUBLE DAMAGE!
Fleep Fleep FRENZY
FISH IS KICKIN' IN!
Mario: Perfect!
Wario just stands with his mouth open.
Wario: You survived my Hydro Jump?! Nobody has ever survived that!
Mario: I have to end this quick; another attack like that, and I'm done for- (Wait, of course: Shell Shock! I forgot.)
Wario: What are you planning?!
Mario: Hehe... Hey Wario, do you know what the Static type is?
Wario: Static? What's that?
Mario: Well... It's like electricity and it beats Water.
Wario: Crud.
Mario: Blaze Bro, use Shell Shock!
Wario: NOOOOOOO!!!
Fleep Fleep WAS KNOCKED OUT!!
BATTLE END...
Mario: That was fast.
Nintendex: UPGRADE IN PROCESS...
Wario: What's happening to my Nintendex?
Mario: It's getting upgraded since you've never seen that type.
Wario: No fair, you'll have an advantage against the Gym Leader in Aquarium Island. She uses Water-type Nintendomon.
Mario: Boo-yah!
Wario: I'm still better than you! I'm headed to Town City for my next Seal! But it's the farthest town in all of the Mushroom Kingdom Region, it'll take awhile.
Wario gets on his Wario Bike.
Mario: ???
Wario: I got it from a guy on Aquarium Island. See ya, loser!
Wario then rides off. After about 10 minutes Luigi and Yoshi come back.
Luigi: We miss anything?
Mario: Yeah. I beat Wario, my Fire Bro evolved into Blaze Bro, and he's beating me by one Seal. Did you catch any Nintendomon?
Yoshi: Yep, a Birdo.
Luigi: Well, we have to hurry to... Where's the next place?
Mario: Aquarium Island.
Luigi: And how'll we get there?
Yoshi: I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows this guy's cousin...
Mario: GET TO THE POINT!
Yoshi: He has a boat that can get us to Aquarium Island.
Mario: Where does he live?
Yoshi: Toad Town.
Mario eyes go wide and his jaw drops.
Mario: THAT'S WHERE WE STARTED OUR CURSED JOURNEY!!!
Yoshi: SORRY!
Mario: Well, we should leave now or we'll never get there in time...
So Mario and his gang set off on a journey back to his home town, where with luck they'll find Yoshi's friend who might let them borrow a boat to get to Aquarium Island. If not Mario's journey will have been a huge waste... Well, tune in next time on: Nintendomon: The Elite Cup.
