Super Smash Bros Brawl: Subspace Emissary

Chapter 6: The Lake

The force from Donkey Kong's punch sent Diddy all the way to the other side of the forest. He was fortunate to land in a tree to break the fall, though his back was still hurting from the punch. Remembering what he saw happen to his friend, he immediately went into a full on sprint, weaving through the forest to try to get back to him. Not long after, he came across something he and DK found some time ago. A large clear blue lake that reflected the sunlight off it beautifully. It was a special spot they used for relaxing after a long day. But that's when he picked up the smell of smoke. Ho looked to his right and saw a small ship that was broken in half with pieces falling off the sides and was slightly smoking. He was worried that someone might be trapped inside and went to take a look.

But just as he took a few steps, the ground shook. He thought it was an earthquake, but then something emerged from the lake.

It was a large creature with a  long green serpent body, yellow rings and red tipped ridges along its body. It had two small arms with clawed fingers and hollow black eyes with small yellow pupils. But this wasn't any normal creature. It was a Pokemon, a legendary Pokemon to be precise, called Rayquaza. When it saw Diddy, it let out a loud roar, showing its sharp teeth, that practically shook the ground and made Diddy revile back in fear. It charged up an attack and shot a powerful Aura Sphere from its mouth at the ship, destroying it more and setting it ablaze. The blast from the attack knocked Diddy to the ground, but then he felt himself get picked up. Rayquaza had taken advantage of Diddy's distracted state and sped at, picking him up in its claw. Diddy began to squirm and shriek for help, but the Pokemon wouldn't let him go. It brought him to the lake, even going underwater for a quick second, before holding him in front of its face. Diddy stared at its black, vacant eyes, his entire body shaking as it gave another roar in front of him, and he started to pray that the Pokemon wouldn't eat him.

But unknown to them both, someone had ejected themselves from the burning airship, launching themselves into the air. By the time Rayquaza noticed, it saw the figure move at an incredible speed and slash at its hand, causing it to drop Diddy. The figure landed on the ground, revealing itself.

A four foot tall anthropomorphic fox wearing shorts, a jacket, gloves, and what appeared to be iron boots and equipped with some impressive looking technology. The legendary Star Fox pilot, Fox McCloud.

He turned to the enraged Rayquaza and smirked, "Thought you got rid of me, didn't you?"

Rayquaza growled in anger and fired another Aura Sphere at Fox. But he quickly brought out his reflector, creating a shield in front of him that blocked the attack and sent it back to the Pokemon, the attack hitting him in the chest, sending it back into the water.

Fox looked at Diddy, who had fallen behind him and was lying on the ground, "Are you okay?" Diddy sat up and nodded, "That attack won't keep it down there for long. Mind helping me take it down?" Diddy nodded again and readied himself.

Rayquaza re-emerged from the lake, more enraged than before, and charged at them, ready to fight. Rayquaza proved to be a very tough and fast opponent. It moved swiftly and with great ease, even being next to it during one of its dashes could knock the wind out of you. It attacked them by swiping the tail of its serpent body, shooting powerful Aura Sphere's, unleashing Thunderbolt's, and even burrowing its body underground to launch up at them. Fox and Diddy had to use their reflexes to their fullest in order to dodge Rayquaza's attacks, along with Fox's quick thinking and fast movements and Diddy's impressive maneuverability helping to keep up with the Pokemon and plan the best moment to attack. It took some time, and some real effort, but they eventually defeated the legendary Pokemon.
