Hello everyone and welcome to the fanfic! This fic will mostly focus around Elec Man and Mega Man, however other characters may jump in and steal the spotlight.

First off I would like to say I have not played all the games the smashers are from so I sincerely apologize if they are out of character or if I get details wrong. Smash 4 is also the first and only smash bros game I've played, but I am willing to have other characters from older games appear as guests for a short time. Assist trophy characters, stage hazards, and others will also have a spot in the story.

Second; there will be pairings. I'll let you figure them out as the story goes on. (Sometimes I might even poke fun of some of the popular ships that I see flying around and hint at a few silly pairings of my own) I won't focus too heavily on them though.

Third; there's going to be a few of my own things added into here mostly regarding the stages and Stage Hazards.

And finally; I am open to suggestions! Feel free to send in some ideas!

With that big old text wall done and over with, let's get this story started!

"Are you sure you've packed everything you'll need?"

"Yes, I'm absolutely sure. You don't need to keep asking me every five seconds."

"As your big brother it's my job to look out for you."

"I'm older than you!" Elec Man chuckled as Rock glared up at him. He turned away with a huff, pouting for a moment.

Rock, of course, was more than excited to be in the fourth Smash Tournament and when everyone first found out they all were happy for him. Everyone was surprised when he was invited; they didn't know anyone even knew about them. They were even more surprised when Elec Man was chosen to be an assist trophy(and even jealous in some cases). Elec Man didn't like the idea at first; after all as the leader of the Light Robots and one of Dr. Light's greatest creations he needed to make sure his family didn't cause any trouble, but he soon was growing more and more excited himself(not that he'd admit of course). He was looking forward to meeting the heroes of other worlds, but the concern for his family was still there in the back of his mind.

He tried to ignore his own worry and ruffled Rock's dark brown hair, smiling. Yes, it was true Rock was built before him, but Rock's AI was like that of a child's while Elec Man's was closer to a young adult's. It wasn't uncommon for people to mistake Elec Man for being older, especially if they were from out of town.

The two turned their attention back to the train tracks as they heard the whistle of a train getting closer and closer. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Rock grin.

Rock's robot companion Rush barked happily, his stubby tail wagging rapidly as he hopped about. Beat, a gift from Dr. Cossack after Rock helped him when Wily was blackmailing him after kidnapping his daughter Kalinka, flew around, chirping loudly.

The Smash Train slowed to a stop and let out one last whistle. Elec Man could see a few of the smashers peering out of the windows. Judging from how few there were he figured they must have been one of the first stops. At least this would give him a better chance to figure out the strengths and weaknesses of his future opponents.

"I'll be in the Assist Trophy car." He said to Rock. "Behave yourself. I'll meet up with you once we get to the mansion."

"I will." Rock replied. "See you then!" He grabbed his bags and hurried to the Smasher Car, Beat, Rush and Tango right behind him. Elec Man smiled and headed to the Assist Trophy Car. He sat down on one of the seats, gazing around at the other Assist Trophies. He saw a lot of strange creatures scattered around, chatting in a language he couldn't understand. Many of them resembled animals from his world with a few differences. One of them looked to be a small goat with a coat of leaves instead of fur and another looked like a cross between a rabbit and fox with a fluffy tail, short legs, long ears, and a thick ring of cream colored fluff surrounding its neck.

"De!" He looked down as one of the little creatures hopped onto the seat and stared up at him with round black eyes. It was a dark orange gerbil-like creature with big rounded black ears and dark orange cheeks with whiskers that resembled antennas Its tail was long and thin with a tuft of fur at the end that looked like a star. Running down it's back and to its tail was a black spot. It's belly and the inside of it's ears were a pale creamy yellow. It was tiny; no bigger than eight inches.

"Hello there." Elec Man greeted. He was never a huge fan of rodents; he saw them as a pest as at least one had chewed through a wire at the power plant and knocked out the power for over half the city after he had been activated. Of course Elec Man had to dispose of what was left of it and had to help repair the wires. He didn't mind them much outside of his workplace or home, but he still avoided them when possible.

The little creature scampered over to him and hopped up onto his leg. Elec Man reminded himself that it was a creature from another world and far less likely to be a pest like any rodent from his world. He gave it a gentle pat on the head, careful not to put too much pressure in fear he might hurt it. The little creature let out what sounded to be a happy squeak.

"I've never seen a dedenne warm up to someone that quickly." Elec Man glanced over to see who was speaking. He was startled to find it was a dog. She was sitting and wearing clothes like any human he had met but was still covered in fur and had a dog-like face. He was pretty sure she had a tail as well but he couldn't tell from where he was sitting. He was so surprised he almost didn't hear her when she spoke again. "It took me several stops before I finally got it to come near me and I had to bribe it with food."

"Maybe it's because he uses electrical attacks." A boy with blond hair and glasses suggested. "After all, dedenne use electrical signals to speak to one another. Elec Man turned his attention back to the little creature. So it was an electric user as well. He decided to send a small signal to it, nothing complicated just a simple 'hello'. The dedenne's whiskers twitched and it tilted its head in a manner that Elec Man found quite cute. It sent back the same signal to him.

The electrical signals were basically a form of Morse Code. He had learned how to use them not too long after he had been activated. It was a law for all industrial robots like himself to know sign language and Morse Code in case they ever came across someone who communicated by using either. They were useful ways of communicating with teammates on the battlefield, but he enjoyed sending his siblings codes every now and then just for fun.

"So what universe is it from?" He asked the boy. He seemed to know a lot about the little creature so he guessed it might be from his world. Or the boy was just very smart.

"They're from the pokemon universe." The boy replied. "Pokemon don't come out of assist trophies, however, they come from Poke-Balls. It's been around since the first tournament. The pokemon are pretty friendly and categorized into eighteen types. They're also highly intelligent; able to understand humans and some have even learned to talk themselves. That little creature is a Dedenne. It's a fairy and electric type."

"You know a lot about them." The dog said. "Are you from their world?"

"Oh, no, I'm from Ness' world." The boy smiled. "But I've done research on all the smashers and trophies. I know you're Isabelle and he's Elec Man, a robot created to help manage a power plant." He looked over at Elec Man.

They all turned to the door as another Assist Trophy walked in. Elec Man didn't think she looked like much of a challenge, but he had learned long ago not to judge someone from their looks. He had learned that after being defeated by Rock after Wily had stolen him and his brothers and reprogrammed them for his first attempt at world domination. He'd admit he was careless during that fight. He didn't take Rock seriously at all because he looked like a child. He was snapped out of his thoughts as the girl sat beside him.

"Hi there." She greeted with a smile. He nodded a greeting to her. The dedenne clawed its way up Elec Man's shoulder and huddled close to his neck, sending off rapid little one word signals. They were coming so fast Elec Man was having trouble understanding them, but he did catch the words 'warm' and 'friend' several times.

"You're Phosphora, right?" He heard the boy ask. "One of the commanding officers in the Forces of Nature, the army of the goddess Viridi?"

"Yep, that's me!" The girl confirmed, a proud smile on her face. Elec Man blinked in surprise. She was an officer in a goddess' army? He watched her carefully. She had a slender build so her attacks were mostly likely ranged and focused more on speed. Her physical defense and attack were possibly low, but she would most likely be a difficult target to hit.

"You see something you like?" He jumped, startled as a voice echoed in his head. The dedenne on his shoulder let out a soft squeal of alarm and protest, clinging to his armor in an attempt not to fall off. He heard the girl, Phosphora, laugh.

"I'm guessing Viridi's pestering you?" She grinned. "Just go ahead and think back to her, you don't have to speak aloud for her to hear you. She can hear your thoughts when she has a telepathic link opened with you."

Was startling me necessary? Elec Man questioned.

"No, but it was pretty hilarious!" He heard the goddess laugh. "Answer my question."

I was just thinking about her combat skills. Elec Man answered quickly. In case she ever challenges me. From what the letter had said no matches were set on the weekends, but the Smashers and Assist Trophies could challenge each other to matches and battle each other. If someone was visiting from their world, they could join in as well.

"Phosphora's attacks are all electric based." The goddess explained to him. Elec Man frowned.

I see… Well, he would have no choice but to refuse any challenges she sent towards him.

One of the many perks of being an electric based robot was that he was immune to electric attacks. There was one way for him to be harmed by electricity, but there was no way he would ever tell anyone about it. He found it far too embarrassing. He felt the goddess' presence disappear, meaning she had cut off their connection.

"So, who are you?" Phosphora asked him. "Viridi refuses to tell me anything."

"My name is Elec Man." Elec Man replied. "I am a robot created by the great Dr. Light to maintain a nuclear power plant." He saw a look of confusion pass over Phosphora's face before she shrugged it off. He realized she must have been from a world without technology. She probably didn't understand half of what he had said.

"It's nice to meet you." She smiled.

After a lot more stops they made it to the mansion. As they got off the train Phosphora said a quick goodbye before she rushed off to find her friends. Elec Man looked around, trying to spot Rock.

"There he is! Elec Man, over here!" He turned, spotting Rock waving to him. He walked over, noticing that two young boys were with him.

"Hello." He greeted the two. They stared up at him quietly.

"This is Lucas and Ness." Rock introduced them. "And this is my brother Elec Man. He's the robot I was telling you about."

"Hi." The boy with black hair said softly. Elec Man smiled.

"They're electric users as well." The dedenne signaled to him. He wasn't sure how the little pokemon knew that, but he wasn't going to ask. Being part electric type probably made it sensitive to things like that.

"Don't worry, Elec Man's really nice." Rock said in an attempt to help the two feel a little safer. He felt a rush of wind as a familiar blue blur rushed past them and then skidded to a stop.

"Hey there, Mega Man!" Sonic greeted. "Great to have you here!"

"It's great to be here!" Rock replied with a big grin. Elec Man glanced at the dedenne as it sniffed the air, it's whiskers twitching. He smiled and gave it a small scratch behind the ear. The dedenne squeaked and signaled the words 'warm' and 'friend' again.

"Hey, Elec Man, hurry up!" He heard Phosphora call his name. "We're all heading inside for the hands to formally greet us and explain everything!"

"Looks like you've made a few new friends." Rock stated.

"I suppose I have." Elec Man replied with a smile.

The first room in the mansion was a large meeting room. Tables were scattered around the room and he could already see the smashers sitting with old friends or with people from their own worlds. The soft murmur of voices quickly turned to a roar as they discussed what they had been doing since the last tournament and how excited they were for the current one. He heard a few people mention his and Rock's names but he couldn't make out anything else they said.

To the right of the room was two big doors where he guessed the kitchen was located. Two staircases on each side of the back wall led upwards to the second floor where the smashers were staying and another pair of doors were located between them. Elec Man wasn't sure exactly where they led, but he had a feeling it had something to do with the garden he had heard a few other Assist Trophies talking about.

As Ness and Lucas said goodbye to Rock and rushed off to their friends, one of them being the boy with glasses Elec Man had met on the train, Elec Man took a seat at one of the tables. He tried to coax the Dedenne off his shoulder so it could go over to the other pokemon, but the little pokemon defiantly clung to his shoulder. He gave up after a few moments and decided to just let it stay.

Rock sat down and stared at the little pokemon.

"What is that?" He asked.

"It's a pokemon from what I understand." Elec Man answered. "It seems to be attached to me. I tried to get it to back to the other pokemon but it refused to leave me." Rock let out a small laugh.

"Don't let Roll see it if she ever visits!" He joked. "She'll try and swat it with her broom!" Elec Man let out a chuckle of his own. The two quieted down as Master Hand floated over to the back of the room.

"Attention all Smashers!" He called. The chatting softened to a soft murmur before the room became quiet aside from maybe a few hushed whispers. "It is a great joy to announce the fourth Smash Brothers Tournament!" The room filled with cheers before Crazy Hand rushed in and shushed them, floating beside his brother.

"It's probably a good idea to mention that the stages are a lot different this time around!" The more energetic brother stated. "We'll get to that soon but let's give a warm welcome to all the new Smashers that will be joining us this time around!" Even more cheers. Rock looked down, an embarrassed blush appearing on his cheeks. Elec Man grinned and ruffled his hair. Rock let out a soft huff of protest.

"I almost don't even know where to start." Master Hand laughed. "But let's start with this; There's a new room on the third floor that will act as a teleportation room. Just select your home world and you can teleport there. It should be noted that you can only visit another person's home world if they are with you during the teleportation process.

"You can use this system to visit your friends and family if you get homesick or if there's an emergency and you have to return home. It's also a good way for them to pay you a surprise visit as we are setting up a teleportation area in all of your worlds that they can use."

"Shashers from older tournaments can also visit through these teleportation areas as well." Crazy Hand added. "They can join in the battles if they want on the weekends.

A murmur of confusion spread through the room, the Smashers casting each other puzzled looks. Master Hand signaled for silence.

"I know this is a new thing so just bear with me while I explain; there has been a lot of things changed for this." He said. "We've heard many times that you wish you could battle Assist Trophies and see their full potential as a fighter as opposed to the limited moves they're allowed as a trophy. So on Saturdays Crazy Hand and I have decided that there will no be scheduled matches and you are free to do what you wish on those days, including battle Assist Trophies and visitors even if those visitors have never been a Smasher before."

"Don't let Bass hear about this." Elec Man whispered to Rock. "He'd be here every weekend and run around yelling at you to fight him." His brother snickered a little, trying not to laugh too loud.

"I could say the same for you and Quick Man." Rock grinned. "You two argue so much back on our home world I'd be surprised if he didn't show up and demand you fight him sometime during this."

"Let him try, I can beat that egotistical a- jerk any day." Elec Man huffed, stopping himself before he cursed. It was true he and Quick Man didn't get along very well, but when they did they were certainly a force to be reckoned with.

Elec Man could tolerate Quick Man for only so long, however. Quick Man was the complete opposite of Elec Man; loud, boastful and a little quick tempered. His pride usually led him to get into fights often and he seemed to enjoy pestering Elec Man just because his design was based off the Light robot's.

Elec Man, of course, was none too happy with Quick Man, and he would have definitely rubbed the whole Assist Trophy thing in the Wily robot's face if he wasn't above that.

The two turned their attention back to the Hands as Master Hand spoke up again.

"Another thing I should mention are the stages." He said. "Each stage now has three forms; the normal platform version, the omega version, and the newest version."

"We've created the Maze version!" Crazy Hand exclaimed. "It was my idea and it's a darn good one at that!" Elec Man was sure that Master Hand would have rolled his hands if he had any.

"Yes, Crazy Hand did come up with the idea for these stages." The other hand admitted. "The Maze is only available for certain stages and it will be set up like the actual area they are based upon from your worlds instead of just a platform area. Granted they are still in pocket dimensions so they will only go so far.

"Stage hazards will also change for these areas. Stage Hazards like Viridi who change the stages layout will appear in the changed part of the stage and will actually participate in fights. However they will be Neutral Stage Hazards and will join the fight only if attacked."

"There's the other thing we added." Crazy Hand piped up. "Stage Hazards for the Maze version of stages will be one of three; Peaceful, Neutral, and Aggressive. Peaceful Stage Hazards will only fight back if you attack and they will only attack the Smasher who hit them. Unless they get hit by another Smasher at which point they'll forget about the first and fight that one. Neutral Stage Hazards will only join in if attacked as well however they will attack any Smasher after that first attack. Aggressive Stage Hazards will join in at any time, even if not provoked, and will attack any Smasher within striking range. The Stage Hazards will wander the stage."

"We added these changes to make the battles a little more challenging." Master Hand explained. "It gives the Smashers the option of running if they get into a fight they know they can't win so they can wait for recovery items to appear or so they can think of a new strategy."

"Think of it like a less hardcore version of the Hunger Games." Crazy Hand laughed.

"Crazy Hand half of the people here don't even know what that is." Master Hand sighed.

Elec Man spotted Phosphora whispering excitedly to a long haired girl in a seat next to her. The girl looked very proud of herself, leading Elec Man to believe her to be Viridi. The girl met his eyes for a moment and smirked.

"I'm looking forward to seeing you and Phosphora fight in my stage." Yep, that was definitely Viridi.

Sorry to disappoint you, but that won't be happening. He thought back to the Goddess. He saw a look of confusion cross over her face for just a moment. She broke the connection and Elec Man turned his attention back to Master Hand.

"Now, there's another thing we should mention." The floating hand cleared his non-existent throat. "In certain stages, the Mazes especially, you can have up to eight Smashers, yes eight, in a single match."

The room was quickly roaring with excitement and cheers from the Smashers again. Elec Man saw Rock's eyes widen in surprise. He knew exactly what Rock was thinking.

"I am not going to fight an entire line of Robot Masters all at once even if they get on their knees and beg me to." He breathed. Elec Man barely managed to bite back a laugh.

The Dedenne on his shoulder yawned and snuggled close to his neck, it's eyes closing as it dozed off. How it could sleep through all the commotion Elec Man didn't know but he found it pretty impressive.

It took a little longer than before for Master Hand to get everyone to quiet down.

"Now, for all the new Smashers out there the first floor of the mansion, the one we're one right now, is the meeting hall and kitchen." The floating hand explained. "The doors behind me and Crazy Hand lead outside to the garden. The second floor has the dorm rooms where you will all be staying. Each Smasher will share a room with someone from their world. The third floor has the library and teleportation room. There's also a balcony for those of you who like those things. Across the train tracks is Smash Town. Various beings from your world live there and there are shops and things for you to check out. If you have any questions feel free to ask the other Smashers or us."

"It should also be noted that the battles act like a virtual world; any damage you receive will show up and you will feel a little pain from direct hits but you will not be harmed in any way." Crazy Hand added. "But the matches will still be pretty tiring so it's best not to participate in too many at a time."

The room was yet again alive with the chatting of the Smashers as the meeting came to an end. Rock immediately got up and called to Ness and Lucas as he rushed over to them. Elec Man smiled at the sight, happy that his brother had made some friends. His smile quickly faded to a frown as he wondered how Rock would take to fighting them. Elec Man knew that Rock hated fighting, and he was worried Rock might not like being in the tournament after his first match. He decided to talk to Rock once they got to their room.

He reached up and gently nudged the Dedenne awake with a finger. The little pokemon's eyes blinked open and it stretched, its jaws parting in a yawn before it started to groom its fur, whiskers twitching.

"Hey, Elec Man!" He turned as he heard Phosphora call to him. He already knew what she was going to say and he was debating on how he should respond. "I challenge you to a one on one battle this weekend!" A few Smashers paused in their conversations to look over.

"I apologize, Phosphora, but I must decline your offer." Elec Man replied calmly. He saw a brown haired boy's jaw drop, the white wings on his back fluffing up. A tall green haired woman next to him tilted her head in curiosity while Viridi sat, staring at him quietly. Elec Man had a small suspicion that the goddess was behind this entire thing. Phosphora seemed to be offended by him declining for she glared at him.

"What, are you afraid of fighting a girl?" She snapped. A few more Smashers stopped to stare. He heard at least one whisper about him being a coward. He didn't take any offense to it.

"It's not that you're a girl." He stated. "It's because I feel the fight would be mostly one sided on my end."

"How dare you!?" Phosphora was fuming. "I've fought and defeated the god of death before! I'm pretty sure I can handle you!" A black haired boy next to the brunette watched them, his ruby eyes shining in amusement.

"With all due respect, Phosphora, my name is Elec Man for a reason." Elec Man took a step back. He really didn't want to make her any more upset.

"So?" Phosphora glared at him. "Pikachu's an electric type but he can still be damaged by electrical attacks!" Elec Man sighed and shook his head.

"Phosphora, I don't want to argue with you. Is there any way I can change your mind?" He asked.

"Fight Pikachu and beat him tomorrow and then I'll consider changing my mind." Phosphora replied. Elec Man heard a few gasps from the Smashers around him.

Pikachu was a veteran fighter from all the back from the first Tournament and was a powerful fighter. The news of Smashers getting to actually fight the Assist Trophies had caused a great amount of excitement but none of them expected one of those matches to happen so soon; especially one between a veteran fighter and a newcomer. Elec Man figured everyone would think the newcomer Assist Trophies to be too intimidated by the idea, but then again he had faced much worse than some electric rat before. They may not know that then, but he would enjoy changing their minds in the fight. He saw Rock look up at him in concern.

"Alright, if he agrees to it, I'll fight him." Elec Man sighed. He quickly became aware that the entire room had gone silent to listen to the argument. He'd be surprised if any of the Smashers hadn't heard him.

"Pikachu, do you accept the challenge?" Master Hand turned to a mouse-like yellow creature with red cheeks, long black tipped ears, brown stripes and a lightning bolt shaped tail. Pikachu appeared to be in thought for a moment before it nodded.

"Pika!" It answered.

"He accepted!" Dedenne signaled to him almost fearfully.

"Well, this was an exciting first day!" Crazy Hand shouted, startling a majority of the Smashers out of their shock. "We have our first match already! Make sure to watch on your television or come down here to watch it on the screen on the left wall! An Assist Trophy versus a veteran Smasher! Unbelievable!" Elec Man let out a soft sigh. He had a feeling he might regret this later.

I hope you all enjoyed this first chapter! Next one will feature the fight. Place your bets now. I've already got the winner picked out but I'm not saying who it is. You'll just have to wait.

I should mention that the heroes don't refer to their home worlds by game logic; all of this is real to them and they have no idea they are from video games.

I honestly couldn't resist adding a little companionship between Elec Man and one of the electric pokemon. I first thought about having it be Pikachu but then I remembered that Dedenne is tiny enough to ride around on his shoulder and my mind was made up. I know that canonly Elec Man is the same height as Rock who is four feet four inches tall, but I decided that he should be somewhere between that and his Ariga version(who is very tall). Elec Man is about five foot three inches in this fanfic.
