Funny how his utter disgust for this place led him to visit here most often.

At this point at night, not many life Spehere civilians were wandering around freely. Those who had business were already at their destinations, and those normal already in bed. It was 2 o’ clock in the morning or so, which gave the perfect opportunity for slimey little cretins to wander around absolutely up to no good. One such was the infamous Porky Minch, a demented ‘child’ who only sought to wreak havoc out of personal boredom and the unquenchable lust for ultimate depraved euphoria.

But with power as miniscule as is now, he could not do much to aid his cause. A petty crime here and there would have to replace full on genocide; a minor inconvenience would suffice for contorting the world to his own vision. But hey, baby steps. One act would lead to another, chain reacting to the ultimate act of ‘getting his way’. It worked with a cosmic evil entity,and it will work with this zit of a protection zone.
For now, the man-child had in his fist a bag of machine parts stolen from various buildings he had snuck around. Inside of the sack were all sorts of bolts, wires, nails, small metal plates as well as various tools that belonged to previous machinery. Why not money? Because here money meant nothing to him. It was the thrill of the pursuit that really got him going.
Especially if it had hilarious repercussions.

From the corner of his eye a homeless rattata seemed to be carelessly sleeping. A devious grin spread across the boy’s face as he pulled out what could only be compare to what appeared to be a drill. Stealthily he snuck towards the pokemon, the poor creature not suspecting a thing. Before the purple rat could open its eyes the child had grabbed a hold of it. The creature squeaked in terror as Porky dragged it along to an alley, the child gleefully pulling the drill’s trigger a few times for fun measure. Behind the alley the eventual screeches died down as the sound of whirring mechanics took its place. Thank whatever was up there that the guards of the town weren’t presently nearby. Nails heard being screwed in, the slight sound of a hammer… All of it made sense when a newly deformed and now chimera-fied pokemon teetered around the corner in lifeless aura. With it the gleefully chuckling creator of the monstrosity, now leaning against the wall.

Of course, the hastily built android wasn’t bound to last. Compared to what the boy wanted to do, this creature looked more like summer camp macaroni art. Within a few jerky steps the creature gasped its last artificial breath and collapsed on metal knees in the beam of a streetlight. Porky’s pig like snickering died down as he realized his temporary fun had come to a blindly tragic end. With a more serious expression Porky approached the creature, kicked it once, and grumbled

"Pity.”.

Maybe next time he’d find better mechanics. Maybe he could find a way for a creature to be under his whim for more than a few seconds. Perhaps there was another way to make these feelings of delight last, and in another less time wasting way.

Close to midnight, that was when all that were stir crazy started to roam the streets of the Life Sphere. How did Game & Watch know, the answer was quite simple actually and it was also a very wise yet old saying: it takes one to know one. Ah yes, the scum of Li made his job so easy, all he had to do was wander outside when the moon was full and bam he had more instant fame. It was becoming as easy as printing money at this point, he was already in the spotlight all he had to do was do something so little and he’d be back up there again.

Just a hop and a skip over building to building was an easy task for the light weight fighter as the gravity working against him was nearly non-existent. Everything seemed to be boring and unsuccessful until the combined sounds of what one could only imagine to be a disgusting horror show rang across the Flat Zoner’s ears or whatever equivalent he had to those. Finally, a call to duty something he was looking for. He triangulated toward the sounds as the screeches of what he could only assume to be a rodent of some kind carried on through the streets.

Finally, he quit his chase after he spotted a small plump boy next to a cyborg monstrosity that was probably not like that before the boy tampered with it. He swung back his rounded head and let off a couple of blaring laughs that anyone might think were their alarm clocks going off four hours too early. An easy target, a little boy making mischief? It almost seemed like he’d lose some reputation from being the little round kid in. However, any attention was better than no attention, the great book of philosophe that no doubt G&W would write after he retires.

With a quick boost from his temporary fire fighter friends, he soared into the air above the young felon and pulled his parachute as he began to descend. Once he positioned himself in the right spot to where he wanted to land, he let his parachute return to its nothingness and dropped to the ground nearly to the immediate front of Porky. There was very little weight to his impact, but that didn’t matter too terribly as he pulled out a frying pan along with a hammer in his other. He directed both tools at his foe, expecting a defenseless little boy such as Porky to quiver before his mere presence. Not for the sake of his arrogance, but because he didn’t seem like he’d be the strongest opponent offensively.

Before Porky could make his getaway back under the depths of the plagued outside lands, he appeared to have a visitor. The forces of 'good' would never leave him alone, would they? The alarm beeping heard from the rooftops was a giveaway to him, but, rather than run, he stood where he was with his arms folded and his foot nudging his dead creation in a bored manner. Usually, he got off with a stern talking to because of his childish appearance. So more than anything this would be a minor inconvenience and waste of time.

Like a falling leaf the flat man drifted from the sky and in front of the child. Porky snorted looking at this seemingly harmless creature. What was he going to do, give him a paper cut? Well, it appeared that it was equipped with weapons and wasn't afraid to use them. A hammer and a frying pan... Why did the latter feel so familiar?

Porky put his hands to his portly hips and looked to the flat man in slight question. What was he really going to do? Well, it looked like he didn't talk much and wanted his weapons to do the talking. Two could play at that game. From the tug of a string in his suspicious book bag came out four poles, each cranking out swiftly to mechanical spider legs. They practically towered over the boy, so much so that he was able to stand on them freely. And they looked extra stab-y today too. Perhaps it was because he sharpened them in case of encounters like these.

”Now now, no need to get hasty.” He pacified innocently, though it appeared he was the one quick to jump to violence. ”Drop your weapon and I'll put down mine. Otherwise...”
Porky looked down to the rat's corpse. ”I'm sure you get the picture.”

Game & Watch was a tad bit surprised as the tubby child revealed some mechanical claws that were hidden within his tiny back pack. Now, the Flat Zone fighter was the last one to question when people were able to pull off the physically impossible since that was his entire gimmick, but there was only room for one physics breaking warrior around this sphere. It wasn’t going to be some pig-nosed kid with fancy gadgets.

As for the boy’s threats, G&W had faced the likes of Andross in the past he was hardly intimidated by a demented child that got his sick kicks out of turning Rattatas into a pile of flesh and steel bits. However, this made the boy something a bit more than the ordinary street thug. He didn’t look to be a part of the current factions of gangs, unless he was being mentored by Robotnik which G&W doubted. It got the 2-D figure thinking for a moment or two. A child was an easy mind to manipulate and the boy seemed to be interested in want and destruction. Killing a tiny Pokemon in such a way didn’t signify any sort of mental stability. Maybe he was assuming too much out of the boy, but if anything the dead rat creature showed boredom of a psychopath, which might be just the kind of trouble the Life Sphere needed to be saved from. Though, a one trick pony only meant a brief passing of the spotlight, but a reoccurring villain made for a more impressive headline. Perhaps his mind was thinking too deviously, but such a plan beat rattling up every alley at two in the morning in search of his lasting power.

Mr. Game & Watch held both his arms out to the sides and let go of his weapons which disappeared as soon as his grip gave in. Life Sphere’s hero might’ve been acting too hasty after all, though it really mattered how the boy would react. Disarming G&W meant absolutely nothing since he could summon his weapons at will within seconds, in fact some of his body parts were weapons. The silhouetted man used his hands to signal the boy to calm down and afterward the figure began to rub his perfectly round chin. He quickly pulled out a sign similar to his judgement attack though minus the hammer and the sign itself had a peace sigil instead of a number. Depending on how the boy took it, G&W might trust him.

Good. It looked like they had come to an agreement. It took all the strength Porky had to not laugh uncontrollably at the stick figure's peace sign. How adorable. Still, a promise for a probable official like him for peace was still something to be grateful for. Hell, the thing looked like it could beep awake the entire neighborhood if needed. In all honesty it wasn't a good idea to start a fight. Besides, his arrogance led the chubby boy to believe that he would come out the obvious victor.

”Now see?” Porky himself emptied his hands to allow his psuedo-appendages to return to his book bag. ”That wasn't so hard.” Now that the two peacefully agreed not to cause an all out brawl, the boy could probably leave if he truly desired to. But... That would be boring, wouldn't it?

He looked to the stick figure while putting his hand to his chin. This guy looked familiar... Porky himself wasn't in the Life Sphere very much, but whenever he was he had to see some sort of image with this guy hanging around. And no one but him seemed to claim any of it. This... This could work.

”Hey wait a minute... You're the guy that's everywhere... Yeah, I can't turn a corner here without something dedicated to you. Heh, you must be pretty popular.” Ah, let the butt kissing commence. The stick figure seemed to have just as big of an ego as Porky, if not more. ”And having the gall to approach a stranger in a dark alley weapons first is rather impressive, if I do say so myself.” Even if the boy looked innocent, it really was a best idea not to judge anyone by their looks here. Hell, what other place in the galaxy had yellow mice that could channel electricity? But never mind that. It wasn't the point. "Well, if anything this night has amounted to it's that at least I've gotten acquainted with someone other than a useless nobody around here. I suppose I'm one as well, though... But the way of the universe always has those best come last. After all, I used to be the king of an entire city named just after me. But now look, I'm performing fifth grade science projects in the streets. Sad, isn't it?” The memories of good ol' New Porky City faded as Porky concluded his staged tangent. He adjusted his book bag and turned to kick the dead rat with force under a dumpster. Out of sight, out of mind.

"Ah, sorry for talking so much. Didn't even realize I was doing so.” He started to back up, and cautiously turn his shoulder. "I've caused enough trouble for tonight, I suppose. I should be off now, if it's not an issue...” Now the question was whether or not the peculiar man would let him off the hook or not...

Mr. Game & Watch listened to the boy as he began his rambling spree, but paid most attention to the points where he rubbed the embodied shadow’s ego. Oh, how he could listen to his greatness for hours on end. Though, he openly listened to the rest of the boy’s words. A basic summary was he had his own city and he seemed to have fallen from grace or something like that. How much truth was behind it, he didn’t know. G&W went around telling people he was a god, and whether he was or not he knew people saw it as farfetched and he felt the same for the tubby kid’s statement.

Maybe his egocentric way of thinking wasn’t so bad after all. The plan he had laid out within the realm of his flat mindscape was starting to fill itself in as the boy kept on talking. He passed on the thought earlier for the sake of shooting for the moon before even looking up at the sky, but it began to expand. It dominated most of his thinking. This kid was looking for attention and he was aware that G&W was top tier when it came to fame around these parts. Perhaps he could take the unsuspecting boy under his wing. Why not? He could make for a good associate, he was a child so he’d be easy to manipulate to his will and he was psychotic or so he seemed and insane people weren’t usually masterminds, G&W himself being a good example of that.

Though, Game & Watch was thinking that the pig faced boy wouldn’t prosper from the fame he provided him. More so, he would be the hero’s crutch. He could see the headlines now, ‘The Menace of the Life Sphere vs Its One True Hero’ hopefully the news team behind it going to be more creative behind the title than he was because he thought it was a dreadful title as soon as he considered it further. Now, the idea just had to work as well in practise as it did in theory.

The boy went to turn away, but G&W rang and began to shift forward in his choppy style of waddling. His paper-thin arm went to pat the boy on his back and he joined the boy in his motions. He then pointed to himself with his other hand and then gestured toward his back packed companion, all the while he made more silenced beeping sounds. He quickly pointed to the sky afterwards, no doubt he was trying to hand signal something to the boy, but it probably didn’t seem like he was trying to tell him that “me and you are going places.” At the time, it seemed like it would transcribe easily, at least to G&W.

The stick man was going to be putty in his hands, wasn't he? He had taken the man into his attention and was feeding his ego. That was the best way to catch someone, in his opinion. Make them feel good and they'd be on your side. It was a tried and true method several times over. And Game and Watch was no exception.

With his grand gestures Porky looked back to the excited creature, watching in slight amusement as he got the so-called hero on board with him. There wasn't much of a plan quite yet, and even if there was it seemed like Porky was going to have to be the negotiator. No matter, he was used to being the puppet master. The gestures the man made were pretty confusing, but the gist was somewhat obtained. The aspirational stance to the sky? It sure meant that big things were in store. Porky sneered a small grin, accepting his role in whatever scheme Game and Watch was planning. "You have big plans too, huh?" Though unable to be seen, he winked. "That's what I like to here.”

Porky sighed and folded his arms. "I'm pretty bored most of the time around here. I don't really get an excuse to cause a ruckus, and it takes a grand scene to actually make an impact. So...” He looked to him. "Here's an idea- I help you get more popular by me stirring up trouble. You tell off all your little hero friends so you can face me square on. I fake defeat and you reap the benefits. Fair enough right? Riches yours and a little fun on my part. Win win.” He concluded his plan, a wide grin in place on his face. "So what do you think?” He extended his hand in a shake like gesture.

"Partners?”

The twin conspirators seemed to be on the exact same page with very similar plans in mind. That was good, the old saying great minds think alike was kept around for so long for a reason, this situation being one of the few. Porky though, seemed a bit more confident that his end of the bargain was going to benefit himself in some way, which if it was going to go the way Game & Watch had planned he was poorly misguided. Out of the two of them though, who was truly the most misguided was yet to be seen.

The shady figure nodded along with every word the boy said. Playing the yes-man was the best way of getting the boy’s trust and in turn maybe even his loyalty. That would be much further down the road though, for now he’ll let the kid think he’s operating off his own agenda and let the cards fall where they may. G&W never liked to lay out plans ahead of time because if one thing went wrong then everything goes wrong, but the nice attribute that comes with chaotic planning is that he can form it as he goes along. Besides, he was just a kid. How hard could it be to fool him that G&W actually had a plan?

The Flatzone fighter accepted the gesture and completed it accordingly. His impossibly thin fist gripped around the boy’s polar opposite hand. It was probably a strange sensation for Porky, but it was hardly one for G&W. Mind you, that didn’t mean he enjoyed it any more than the piggish boy might have. The 2D man let out a ring like a faster and higher pitched telephone and continued to walk off with his new found partner.
