Episode 1: The Keys to New Shroom City

The Keys to New Shroom City is the first episode of I.A.N. - The Super Mario Helper.
==Plot==
Ian Andy Noymon is swept through the drain after washing his hands and winds up in the Mushroom World. He meets the Princesses, Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom, Daisy of the Saharasala Kingdom, and Toadsworth, Toad and Toadette of the Mushroom People.
The reason he was brought here was because they needed his help. 
In a flash back, they explain to him all that had transpired: 
=== Prologue: A New Hero Arrives... ===
After they had won the latest match in the Smash Bros., Mario and Luigi, the Super Mario Bros., come home to a victory party. But during the feast, Mario and Luigi are struck with an unknown disease. 
Now bedridden, the Princesses and Toads are left without defenders. Knowing they can find a doctor in the nearby mushroom metropolis of New Shroom City, Toad and Toadette headed off to find Dr. Toadsley, who can help figure out what's wrong with the plumber brothers. 
But before Toad and Toadette could go through the quickest path, a group of Magikoopas show up an create a giant lock block to block their way to New Shroom City. 
With the shortcut to New Shroom City blocked, Toad and Toadette return to tell the princesses of this matter. 
Toadsworth, upon hearing the words: Giant Lock Block, remembers something about it: The lock block can dissipate if enough Kingdom Keys are placed within the key holes of the lock block. Toadette remembers there being 8 keyholes on the giant lock block. So, to break the spell, 8 Kingdom Keys are needed to unlock the block and break the spell. 
But there is two problems: The princesses cannot leave the brothers' side and the Toads are too scared to go out themselves. 
Luckily, Toadsworth remembers a magic spell he used to summon heroes who could save them. It worked once when they somehow got Mario and Luigi to come, so it should work again. 
So he used the magic potion down a warp pipe and summoned someone who could come to their aid. 
That was when Ian came in. Upon hearing their pleas for help, Ian vows to help them break the spell on the Lock Block and get Dr. Toadsley from New Shroom City. But Ian has a few conditions to make: 
1.) He will need companions for the long journey to New Shroom City. (Toad, Toadette, Captain Toad and the Toad Brigade volunteer) 
2.) He will need super powers like the Mario Brothers have. 
3.) He wants an outfit... that's as cool... and awesome... Like the Mario Brothers have. 
The Princesses accomadate to Ian's terms and accept them provided that he wears blue colored clothing. "Make it Sky Blue and the deal's sealed." - Ian. 
With Ian now dressed like Mario and Luigi, but in blue, he takes in some training of his skills while the Toads prepare themselves for the long journey ahead. 
Once Ian's basic training skills are done, the Princesses show Ian a special Warp Pipe Zone Area. There are 8 Pipes that are currently inactive at the moment. Those pipes are connected to the lands that Ian will be traveling through. Should Ian find a special Warp Pipe Block with a number on it, he must bash the block, for the pipe block is a switch that can make a warp pipe appear. 
Knowing there are 8 pipes, Ian asks where he should go first: 
Toadsworth tells Ian that his first desination is the nearby grassland area: Petal Plains. He also gives Ian a Map of all the lands in the Mushroom World that he must travel through in order to reach New Shroom City. 
Traveling with Ian, Toad and Toadette also give Ian a special Power-Up Pouch: A sack that can contain enough Power-Ups for Ian to use. For this journey, Ian will use Mushrooms for health, Fire Flowers, Ice Flowers, Bubble Flowers, Hammer Flowers, Boomerang Flowers, Frog Suits, Penguin Suits, Super Leafs and Rainbow Super Stars. Ian can always swap out different power ups with other power ups he finds on his journey. 
With his allies aiding him, a map to guide him, a sack ready to be filled with Power-Ups and his destination set, Ian and his Toady Companions set off for the first world of his Super Mario-based Adventure: Petal Plains.

== Ending ==
With Pauline and "Mable" (Captain Maple Syrup) now behind bars, and with Peach and Daisy pardoned Ian reclaims all the Kingdom Keys taken from him and finally uses them to unlock the giant lock block and break the spell. 
With the lock block finally gone, Ian rallies all of his allies and Dr. Toadsley as they all head back to the Mushroom Kingdom and to Peach's Castle, where Mario and Luigi are bedridden. 
Dr. Toadsley inspects the brothers and checks their symptoms. After conducing his research, Dr. Toadsley concludes that the Mario Bros. have been infected with Pikachuitis, a diease that turns someone into a Pikachu within a week. The only way to cure them of this sickness is to combine ingredients. And it's not just natural ingredients from their own world... No... to fully cure the Mario Bros., they would have to travel to another universe to get the additional ingredients needed for the medicine to cure the brothers. 
Ian suggests going to the Pokemon Anime Universe to find the specific ingredients needed. They were skeptical, but Peach has a more... digital approach for this matter. Going to the computer room of the castle, they ask for help from T.E.C., a computer whom the Toads brought back from the X-Naut Base from the Moon and had him installed in Peach's Castle. 
T.E.C. explains that to make the medicine, certain ingredients are needed from another universe: Pokéblock, Rare Candy and other items. T.E.C. stated that these items can be found within certain world where humans are paired with strange creatures that can be released from balls. Pocketius-Monstrosiouses... Latin name for these creatures. In short, what Ian suggested was all too true. To find these ingredients, you must travel to the Pokemon World. In which, Ian's suggestion of going to the Pokemon Anime World might not be such a bad idea after all. 
But to go there, they would need someone who can help travel through various galaxies and universes. Luckily, Captain Toad remembers someone from Mario's previous adventures: Rosalina, mother of the Lumas and commandeer of the Comet Observatory. 
With their mission on their minds, Ian and his friends vow to travel to the Pokemon Anime World and gather the ingredients needed for the medicine to cure the Mario Bros. 
However, little did they know was that their conversation did not go unheard... Upon hearing word of a world of monsters, The Elite Trio and the Minion Squad report back to Bowser about their discovery. Upon hearing word of Pokemon, Bowser vows to go that world to... Not just to visit, but to increase their Minion Ranks to a fully fledged army and to conquer that world as well. A step for them in order to take over the Mushroom World, by taking over another world first.
It seems that different goals have been set. 
Will Ian and his new friends get to the Pokemon Anime World? Will they find the ingredients needed for the medicine to cure the Mario Bros.? 
And what of Bowser and his minions? Will they get there first before our heroes and acquire the army they need? 
This... is the beginning of Ian's Adventures as... The Super Mario Helper.
