Luigi and Yoshi arrived in front of the über-famous Luigi's Mansion. It was exactly the same as it was during those past few games where Luigi'd gone ghost-hunting: it was still scary, still clearly showing signs of abandonment, and it still was infested with Boos, spooks, and all sorts of ghosts.
Luigi shivered.
"What's wrong, pal?" Yoshi asked. "Haven't you gotten used to all this?"
"Probably still not," he replied in a barely audible voice.
"Come on—you've got an upcoming game soon. What was it called again? Oh yeah—Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. And I heard your handy Polter-something's getting an upgrade 'cause ghosts in your new game aren't vulnerable to flashlights anymore. I'm sure one more game can toughen you up, right?"
Luigi gulped.
"I think this is a good chance to tense you up for the next Luigi's Mansion game."
Luigi glared at Yoshi. "And you, pal? What about your up and coming a-game called Yarn Yoshi? I heard there's all sorts of whatnot coming up in there."
Yoshi's eyes widened innocently. "Cool—I have a new game coming, too?"
Luigi stared at Yoshi with disbelief. "You know about my games yet you don't have a clue about yours at all?"
Yoshi shrugged.
Luigi groaned. "Well, that's just a-great."
"What are you boys doing here?" a voice called in the darkness.
Yoshi strained to see who was the figure lurking among the shadows, but soon the person began to move—and finally emerged from the shadows to reveal himself.
The figure who revealed himself appeared to be short, probably and likely even shorter than Mario. He also appeared to be of age, with wrinkles here and there. He wore a lab coat and sported those odd bifocals, so it was obvious he was a scientist of some sort.
But, Yoshi wondered, just who was he?
"Oh, it's Professor E. Gadd," Luigi said, answering Yoshi's mental question, his voice sounding oddly distant.
Yoshi turned beside him to see that Luigi was no longer there. He was confused, wondering where the green plumber had possibly gone.
"I'm up here, Yoshi."
Yoshi looked up above him to see that Luigi was on the tree, perched on a tree branch. Yoshi looked at him with mystified eyes.
"I just a-got a bit surprised, that's all," Luigi quickly explained before Yoshi could ask.
"Who's this Professor What-Got?" Yoshi asked.
"That's E. Gadd to you, my green dinosaur friend," the short old man corrected. He offered his hand. "I am Professor Elvin Gadd. Just call me Professor E. Gadd, if you please."
Yoshi looked at the hand offered to him, then he took it and shook it once.
"Uh, hey there, I'm Yoshi..."
"I must say," Professor E. Gadd said as he looked up; Luigi still hadn't come down from the tree branch he was perched on. "Get down from there, you mustache'd fellow. You're gonna get yourself a broken bone for sure."
"Okay," Luigi said as he tried to move his leg aside to be able to swing his way down. He failed miserably, and ended up falling from the branch and landing on a nearby bush.
"I'm okay," Luigi said, spitting out some of the leaves that were caught in his mouth.
"What are you two green rascals doing here?" the professor asked, obviously just as bewildered see the duo as they were when they first saw him.
"We're here to enter the mansion," Yoshi said, very straightforward about it. "Mario and the other people in Peach Castle were kidnapped, and we just recently got a clue to head here."
"Off ghost-hunting, huh?" Professor E. Gadd said, very sceptical about it.
"Yeah, somewhere along those lines."
"Well, the place has been increasing on paranormal activity lately, so it would be nice for you two youngsters to do the job." Professor E. Gadd then eyed Yoshi and turned to Luigi. "Luigi, my boy, maybe you should give the little green guy a quick tutorial on Ghost Hunting 101. I'll meet you at my lab after about roughly three hours or so. I'm sure you know where it is."
"Why 'after three hours'?" Luigi asked.
"Because I'm planning to do something for the sake of ghost-busting research, my lad. And three hours is long enough for you to teach your friend there." Professor E. Gadd gestured to Yoshi.
Yoshi watched as the professor turned around and walked away toward his lab, wherever it was. Then he turned to Luigi.
"So, Yoshi, ready to learn the basics of ghost hunting?"
Yoshi smiled with much determination. "Ready, teacher!"
Both of them laughed.

Man the 3DS is an awesome system.Wouldn't it be awesome for Yoshi's story 2 3D???? Though Nintendo probaly doesn't think the game is popular? How? It was a great game, in fact I think it was the 2nd best 64 game ( first was mario party 2 or 3?) Now there are some games that were a waste of nintendo's good name. For instence, Super Princess Peach. I was really P.O'd with the gameplay, Ithought " Why do they waste Yoshi's good talent?". WHY NINTENDO WHY?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
