Chapter Text
Super Smash Brothers, a tournament where many icons from around the world come together to duke it out. While many arrive to participate or contribute to the tournament, only certain individuals get the spotlight while the rest are thrown off to the side.
A lone Mimikyu sat alone on a front seat bench while a tournament match was going on, a 4 person match between a purple dragon, a crocodile with a cape and crown, a duo of a bear and bird, and a big guy with a funny mustache that looks like a W, he looked like bad hygiene in human form.
Mimikyu was invited to be an assisting fighter who would show up for a brief amount of time to help whoever summoned her, but assists were banned for this battle so she just sat alone and watched.
Until, a marionette like individual in a blue hat and cloak walked up to the bench.
"Is this seat taken?"
Mimikyu shook what seemed to be her head in what appeared to be a "no" gesture.
The marionette took a seat beside her and they sat in silence for a while watching the match.
Attempting to make conversation, hoping that will pass the time quicker, he looked over to her.
"Enjoying the match?"
2 thin black arms came out from under Mimikyu's rag and did a shrugging motion.
"Not that fun when you're not in the action huh?"
What appeared to be Mimikyu's head did what looked like a nod.
They "chated" (more so just the marionette saying things and Mimikyu emoting in some way, occasionally making a "kee~kee" sound) for a bit and got to know each other
The marionette introduced himself as
"❤🎵!?" But quickly realized that that may be hard to pronounce, so he asked Mimikyu to call him "Geno".
They talked some more, got to know each other, as both were "rejects" for the tournament, they had many things in common
Suddenly they were rudely interrupted.
"Scoot over will ya! This is the best seat in-a the house!" A lanky man wearing a purple hat and black overalls, also with a funny mustache, this one looking like an L, sat down between them eating popcorn.
Geno spoke up
"Excuse me we were in the middle of a-"
The man swatted Geno away while shushing him
"I'm-a trying to watch the game, my bro's playing! I-a bet a lotta money on this"
"Ok but you can at least ASK for a seat, not plop yourself right in the middle of us while we're talking, who do you think you are?"
The purple man turned to Geno
"Waluigi"
Then pointed to himself with his thumbs
"Numbah one"
Geno didn't know how to respond, he technically got the answer he wanted.
Geno realized there wouldn't be any way to make this man budge, so he gave up and tried to make small talk.
"So you're an assist too huh?"
"Yeah, I don't-a recognize you're face though, you a new assist?"
"No, just a visitor, but she is" Geno said, gesturing to Mimikyu.
Waluigi turned to her "Hey do y'all pokeball guys have-a your own rejection circle?"
"Rejection circle?" Geno asked, confused
"Y'know? A circle of chumps who didn't make-a the cut for the tournament.
He continued "I-a got a circle with the other assist chumps, and I imagine you've got one with the pokechump ones right?" He said looking at Mimikyu, who nodded as confirmation
Waluigi turned to Geno
"Well, ya got one puppet man?"
"I used to"
Curious, Waluigi asked "what-a happened? Those chumps kick you out or something?"
"No.." Geno pointed towards the match
"They joined"
"Ah, the forbidden 3, legends in Rejection circles" Waluigi said with his finger and thumb on his chin.
"Were you a secret fourth-a member" He asked
Geno shrugged and said "I guess?"
"Interesting, What's ya name?"
"❤- Geno"
"Ah I think I've-a heard of ya, you went on an adventure with that Mario chump right?
"One time yes"
"More times than-a Waluigi"
The 3 of them all began chatting while the match happened, becoming close together as rejects.
As the match came to a close, Wario lost miserably which caused Waluigi to jump up and spill his popcorn in excitement as he placed a couple thousand against him.
With Waluigi a couple thousand dollars richer and Geno and Mimikyu 2 friends richer, they all headed out of smash stadium.
Waluigi then mentioned to Geno
"Hey did ya know in-a between matches these guys lounge around in a giant mansion?"
"Where'd you hear that?"
"Been there, once in a while they host a party and the chumps in-a the Tournament can invite one guest, Wario invites me. Gotta be honest though, don't know if I could stay there the whole time if I did get in. Not really into the sharing rooms thing" Waluigi explained
"So you'd prefer something like a hotel with personal rooms?" Geno said
"Exactly"
Geno thought about that for a while, he also thought about the rejection circles Waluigi mentioned.
"Why don't we do that?" Geno proposed
"What? Make a hotel?" Waluigi and Mimikyu seemed confused
Geno elaborated
"Yes! We make a hotel and host a bunch of parties just like the smash mansion, and we invite people who didn't make it in to the smash tournament. We could be one big Rejection circle!"
Mimikyu seemed to like the idea, excited about being part of a massive friend group while Waluigi seemed more interesting in the money he could make
"This is a great idea and all, but where do we get the hotel?" Waluigi asked
Geno already had a plan
"As part of the forbidden 3- or I guess 4, I know Banjo, and he knows a guy that just loves to build at any opportunity, I'm sure I can work things out"
The plan had begun
A few days later, Geno met up with a man named Steve, a mostly very normal fellow even though he was made out of blocks, him and Geno found an empty bit of land, negotiated prices and got into detail of what the Hotel should be, and then Steve drank a potion and went off building like there was no Tomorrow.
Next day, Geno, Mimikyu and Waluigi arrived at Steve's build site, the Rejection Hotel was finished, beautiful, and ready for business.
As part of Steve's pay, he was allowed to stay free of charge.
Steve headed off into his room and the other 3 sat behind the reception desk.
They got the hotel, but now they needed one thing
Guests.
