Chapter 4:
Medal Dealers, Transformations and…ROSIE RICHMOND?!
AN- Hello! Was last chapter long enough for you?
ASFJerome: No.
Hunter: YES!
(Hunter and Jerome get into slap fight)
Me: This is good. :L
I woke up to the sound of slapping. When I looked up, there was Wildfire and a V-Raptor beating each other up.
"HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Holt yelled.
I guess he was trying to break them up, but now they were successfully breaking him.
"WILDFIRE! DOWN!" I yelled.
I'm not a dog!, he said. DINOSAURS ARE PEO- OW, OW, OW!,.
Ok, fine! I thought. Wildfire, please get off of Holt and his V-Raptor.
Ok, he said, and turned into a medal.
Then, Holt's V-Raptor dropped him, grabbed Wildfire's medal, ran in the bathroom, and threw it in the toilet.
I hate that reptile, Wildfire said.
Then Holt's V-Raptor flushed him down the toilet.
"OH GOD!" Holt yelled.
Then, of course, someone knocked on the door.
"Hunter? Are you in there?" Dr. Diggins said.
"COME ON IN!" I yelled.
Dr. Diggins walked in and saw us panicking.
"What's the matter?" Dr. Diggins said.
"WE NEED SOMETHING LIKE A…A….A PICKAXE!" I yelled.
"Oh, well I was just about to give you one!" Dr. Diggins said.
"THEN GIVE IT TO ME!" I screamed. He tossed it, I caught it, and then smashed the toilet.
2 hours later…..
Holt and I were sitting in the hotel lobby, being chewed out by a cop.
"Not only could you have destroyed the building's plumbing, you could have gotten hurt!" he yelled for about the 50th time.
"We're sorry…." We mumbled, also for the 50th time.
We luckily saved Wildfire, but pretty much destroyed the bathroom.
He then left, and Dr. Diggins approached us.
"Well….that could have gone better….." he said.
Holt and I facepalmed.
"Well, here's your sonar…" he said.
He gave Holt and I a square machine, with a circular screen in the middle.
"Well, go to Bea Ginner in the Park Area to learn how to dig for fossils" Dr. Diggins said.
"Bea…" I said.
"Ginner?" Holt finished.
We started cracking up. Even Dr. Diggins smiled.
"Don't laugh at her, please" he said.
"Ok, ok" I replied, and we walked out of the hotel.
"So, where's the Park Area?" I asked Holt.
"It is a THIS A WAY!" he yelled, and ran down the road.
"Get back here!" I yelled.
We raced down the road until we bumped into a lady.
"Sorry!" I yelled.
"It's OK" she said. "Hey, are you two Hunter and Holt?".
"Yes…?" said Holt uncertainly.
"Hi!" she said. "I'm Bea Ginner!".
She has sandy hair, an orange, long sleeve dress, with a red tie and brown shoes.
"Follow me, and we'll begin" she says.
She takes us through the Fossil Lawn and through a path in the trees until we come to a big clearing.
"OK, to use your sonar, use the two buttons on the side to activate it" Bea says. I do, and a radar goes around the screen, and beeps.
"The beeps mean a fossil is near by." She says. "You need to use your sonar until you find a dot".
Sure enough, when I walked around, I saw a few dots.
"Now," she explains. "use your pickaxe to reveal the fossil!". I smash the ground, and a nice size hole appears. In it is a big rock. I pick it up and…..drop it.
"NO!" I yell.
The rock shatters on the ground.
"Oh, god…." I mutter.
Bea laughs.
"Don't worry," she says. "That was only a regular rock."
My face gets red. "Oh….a….right…." I stammer.
Holt starts laughing, and I glare at him.
I turn on the sonar again, and dig up another fossil. I luckily don't drop it this time.
"Aaand….that's it!" Bea says. "Just bring that back to the Fossil Center and clean it!".
"G-g-great…." I gasp. "But how am I supposed to carry it?".
"Oh, goodness!" Bea yells. "I completely forgot!".
"Here's a case."
She throws me a big brief case-like bag, which surprisingly weighed nothing. I put the fossil in it, and all its weight disappeared.
"How does this work?!" I asked, astounded.
"I honestly don't know" she replies.
"Well, I'm gonna clean this. See you guys in a while?" I say.
"See ya!" says Holt.
"Goodbye!" says Bea.
I walk back to the Center and see Dr. Diggins next to a robot that looks almost exactly like KL-34N, but siver with a bluish tint and a yellow drill.
"Hey, Hunter!" Dr. Diggins says. "This is KL-33N. He'll help you clean fossils. And eventually, he can do it for you!".
"Greetings, master! BOOP!" KL-33N says. "I look forward to learning from the best! BEEP!".
Dr. Diggins smiles. "Well, bye!" he says.
"Bye!" I reply. I then start cleaning the new fossil, with KL-33N's surprisingly helpful comments. I of course got a 100%.
I plop in the machine and pull the lever.
Once the fog clears, a new vivosaur is standing there.
It's built like a T-Rex, but a lot smaller, and it's pink. It has three yellow lines on each side of it's face, yellow feathers sticking above it's eyebrows, a cream colored jaw, clouds on the outside of it's thighs, purple claws, partly yellow feet, and pink feathers with a yellow outline and it's tail and thighs.
Hi, it says. No, SHE says.
Hello, I think.
Well, I guess you want a name, I thought.
No, if it's too much trouble-, she started.
No, no trouble at all, I say.
We sit there in awkward silence.
Umm, how about Dandelion? Cuz', you know…you're pink….and a girl….and a dinosaur, I think.
Yeah, that's OK, she says.
Well, um, bye?, I think.
Bye!, she says a little quickly, and turns into a medal.
"Hmm….." I mutter.
I pick her up and put her in my pocket with Wildfire and Spiner.
I head back out to the clearing, to see Holt sitting on a rock. I suddenly remembered something I wanted to ask him.
"Hey, Holt!" I yell. "Wanna battle?".
"Sure!" he says. "Do you know how to swap?".
I give him a confused look.
"You just put the vivosaur in the AZ, or Attack Zone, a.k.a the front, into the EZ, or Escape Zone, a.k.a the back, and put a vivosaur in the SZ, or Support Zone, a.k.a the sides, into the AZ." He says.
"O…..K?" I say.
"LEZ GO!" he yells, and sends out his team.
He has his Tricera, which is built like a Triceratops(obviously), with horns with orange lines going around them, cream colored scales going straight up his frill, legs, and back, a gray beak, gray horns, gray spikes on the frill, and the rest of the body a sea blue.
He also sends out his V-Raptor, which is built like a Velociraptor(:P). It's face, fingers, and underside are a sea green, while the rest of it's body is a powdery white. It's feet have a rocky look to them, and it has dark blue feathers coming out of it's eye ridges and back.
I send out Wildfire in the AZ, and Spiner and Dandelion in the SZ. Dandelion looks….aggravated, like she really wants to get out there and do some damage.
Holt goes first.
"Tricera, Running Smash on Guan!" Holt yelled.
It does….35 DAMAGE?! Wildfire only has 40 LP!
"Wildfire, swap with Dandelion!" I yell.
"Ok, now Dandelion, Shan Fang on Tricera!". Dandelion bites him two times viciously, doing…103 DAMAGE?!
Tricera gets turned back into a medal.
Ummm…..Dandelion? Are you OK?, I ask.
She doesn't answer, but I feel the adrenaline pouring out of her.
Holt's V-Raptor moved into the AZ, and looked around nervously.
"Ok…..V-Raptor! Veloci-Claw on Shanshan!" Holt yells. It does 16 damage.
Dandelion roars.
"Ok, Dandelion. Use-" I start. I realize she has another move.
"Ok, use Grow Up!" I yell.
Dandelion roars again, and she starts glowing white. Soon, her figure grows a fin on it's back, and her jaws become enormous. Also, she becomes much, MUCH bigger. Finally, when the glowing died down, a new vivosaur was standing in her place.
She is now purple, with a giant fin with yellow swirls on her back. She has blue markings all over her body, and her under side is also yellow, along with her kneecaps. And, as I said before, she was ENORMOUS. Her jaw was almost twice my size, and she stood a good five feet above Spiner.
Also, I noticed she had ANOTHER set of moves.
"Ok…." I said, a little shaken. "Use Tarbo Fang on V-Raptor!".
Holt's V-Raptor didn't stand a chance.
After the battle ended, Dandelion turned back into her normal self, and then into a medal.
"D-dude," Holt says. "Where did you get that Shanshan?!".
"Right here!" I replied.
"Well…..that's one heck of a Shanshan….." he says.
"Yeah…." I say.
Then, Dr. Diggins walked over to us.
"Hey, guys!" he yelled. "Wanna go to a REAL dig site?".
Bea glared at him.
"YUSH!" Holt and I yell at the same time.
We both give each other a quizzical look.
Dr. Diggins cleared his throat. "Yes, well, you now have access to the rookie dig site: Greenhorn Plains!" he said.
Holt sprinted out of the clearing. Man, he was FAST!
"Thanks, Dr. D! I said.
He gave me a weird look, then shrugged.
"You're welcome! And remember, don't excavate anything I wouldn't excavate!" he said.
And then I sprinted out of the clearing!
Before I talked to Beth, I tried talking to Dandelion.
Hey, Dandelion?' I asked.
Yeah?' she replied.
How did you…you know…do what you did?
Oh, I don't know.
….
I like Fossil Battles, OK?
Ok, Ok…. It's just…IT WAS SO COOL!
Really?
Yeah!
Hehehe….
After that bonding moment, I went over to Beth.
"Excuse me, could I go to Greenhorn Plains, please?" I say excitedly.
"Sure!" she says, and does something on the computer.
A few minutes later, Captain Travers pulled up.
"Hey, Captain Travers!" I say.
"Hey, Hunter!" he replies. "Wanna ride?"
After about 5 minutes, he pulls up at a smaller dock.
I excuse myself, and walk onto the well worn path.
At the end of it, there are two oddly shaped pillars.
They're about 5 feet tall, and curl at the top. The side facing away from the path is green and has three spines coming out of it, while the side facing it is pale yellow with a piece of jasper in the middle of the spiral.
I walk in, and see Holt digging away.
"Hey, Holt!" I say.
"Hunter!" He yells, and we give each other a bear hug.
"Okay, so get this" he says. If you go to the shop, you can upgrade your sonar! You can make it bigger, make it stop detecting regular rocks, and even find different fossils!".
"Cool!" I replied.
"Yeah, I got fossils to clean, so…..bye!" he said.
After literally searching all of Greenhorn Plains, I saw a Fossil Center employee, standing in between a fence.
"Hey, what's behind the fence?" I asked.
"Fossils beyond your wildest dreams!" he said.
"COOL!" I yelled, and tried to run past him.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" he said. Fossil Battles are strictly prohibited beyond this point, so we don't harm the fossils. I'm gonna have to take your medals.".
I then remembered a game I used to play…called…Pokémon something or other.
There was a guy, and he took your Pokémon if you wanted to pass. You would go in, find nothing, and to see he had stolen everyone's medals but yours because they were weak.
But my vivosaurs definitely weren't weak.
"I don't have any vivosaurs" I said.
He gave me a quizzical smile.
"I-I mean, I have some, but I didn't bring them" I said.
"What are they?" he asked.
"T-that's none of your business!" I yelled.
"I think your lying!" he yelled back.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!" someone said.
When I turned around, I saw a cop.
He has brown hair, a mustache, long, white gloves, white boots, a white belt, a blue officers hat and a blue uniform outlined with gold.
"Let this kid do what he wants to do, K?" he said to the employee, giving him a look of…I don't know. Understanding?
"Fine…" said the employee, fuming.
When I walked in, I bumped into the employee.
"Watch it!" he said under his breath.
The area was pretty much Greenhorn Plains, just a smaller version.
I turned on my sonar, and it beeped. I dug down and got a normal rock.
"Pfft" I said.
I turned it on again and found a dot. I dug down and….a normal rock.
"No, no, no, no…" I mumbled.
I turned it on for the last time, got a reading, and dug down.
It was another rock.
WTF! I thought.
Then I realized someone was circling me.
I looked up, and I saw…ROSIE RICHMOND!?
"Hmmmm…you must be a new Fighter. Well, your not gonna find anything here. Bye." She says.
Well, that was weird, I thought.
Nothing answered me.
Guys?' I asked. Still no answer.
GUYS!' I yelled.
Again, no one answered.
"Wait…" I mumbled.
Didn't that guy want my medals? So if I bumped into him, then…
"OH GOD!" I yelled.
I ran through the area and through the fence. No medals.
GUYS!' I thought-yelled as hard as I could.
OW, OW, OW, OW!' yelled Wildfire. Could'ja tone it down a bit?'
WHERE. ARE. YOU.' I thought.
IN. THE BUSHES. TO. YOUR RIGHT.' Spiner said in the same tone I said.
I face palmed and went in the bush. I looked around and found them.
What happened?' I asked.
Well, that guy pick pocketed us and threw us in the bush, Dandelion said.
Probably for revenge, Spiner said.
Then I heard shouting behind me.
"Hey! Where did he go?!" I heard someone say.
I turned around and…it was Rosie.
Now that I could see her up close, I could really see her.
She had a pink archaeologist's hat with a turquoise ring around it, a sleeveless pale pink shirt, and oval turquoise rock pin, a pink skirt, pink knee socks, white gloves, turquoise and white shoes, a black belt, pink eyes, and pink hair pulled back into ponytails.
"He took my medals!" she yelled.
She then saw my medals in my hand.
"Well, he must of tossed yours because there weak," she said.
I derped.
"But mine were really strong!" she yelled. "I was ready for the Level-Up Battles!".
"He worked for the Fossil Center, so that must be the place to go! Come on!" she yelled.
Then, she dragged me buy the wrist to the boat.
Captain Travers gave us a weird look, shrugged, and started the boat.
He dropped us off at the dock, and Rosie continued to drag me into the Fossil Center.
She marched right up to Wendy, letting go of my wrist.
Oh, sweet, SWEET circulation…, I thought.
"You better have an explanation for this!" Rosie yelled.
"Is there a problem?" Wendy asked.
"You bet!" Rosie yelled back. "My Dino Medals were stolen by one of YOUR employees!"
Her eyes get big. "Here, let me check the duty roster" she said.
She walks into a room in the back. After a few seconds, she comes back out.
"That's odd," she says. "We don't have anyone scheduled to work at Greenhorn Plains today."
"WHAT?!" Rosie screams. "Then who stole my medals?"
She turns toward me.
Oh god…' I think.
"Come on!" she yells. "We need to talk to the police!"
Then, right as the circulation to my hand was coming back(I actually don't know if it was coming back because it was numb), she grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me off again.
Soon we entered a new Area, with a weird building with a spinning top, a what-looks-like-a Police Station, and a huge mansion guarded by what looks like British cops.
I'M LOSING MY MIND!' I think.
We walk into the Police Station. It has a counter that takes up most of the room. Behind it are three cops that look exactly like British cops. Behind them is a well padlocked door and some bookshelves, and to the far right there is a cell door.
Rosie turns, looks at me, and THANKFULLY let's go of my wrist.
"Captain Bullwort should be able to help us" she said.
One of the cops look at us. "Captain Bullwort is in his office…as usual" he says. "It's in the door to your left."
And, Rosie grabs my wrist(WHY!) again and drags me into the office.
"Captain Bullwort! We need your help!" she said.
Captain Bullwort is the police man I saw at Greenhorn Plains.
Captain Bullwort laughs. "Aw, what's the matter?" he said. "Someone throw one of your dolls?"
I give him a weird look.
That was kinda mean, don't you think?' I thought.
Definitely, said Wildfire.
"Hardly!" Rosie yells. "My Dino Medals have been stolen! Without them I don't even count as a Fossil Fighter!"
Bullwort jumps, eyes wide.
"That IS serious!" he said. "Do you remember what he looked like?"
Rosie thinks for a second. "He had eyes like a Lambeosaurus…" she said. "…and a mouth like an Ananotitan's!"
Bullwort frowns. "Finding him might be harder then I thought….." he said.
"WHAT!" Rosie yells. "I had ten Dino Medals! Do you have any idea hoe long it took to get them?! I had the perfect team all ready for my Level-Up Battle!" She buries her face in her hands.
Then she composes herself and looks at me. "Here I am, dragging you all over the island without introducing myself" she says. "I'm Rosie!"
"I'm Hunter" I reply.
"Nice to meet you!" she says. "I'd really appreciate it if you helped me find the thief."
Bullwort then jumped again. "Wait a minute!" he said. "If you got some brand-new vivosaurs, you'd want to try them out, right? The criminal might be at the Fossil Stadium!"
"That's it!" yelled Rosie. "Let's go to the Fossil Stadium!"
"Yeah!" I say.
We run out of the Police Station and into the Fossil Stadium.
"Hello, may I compete in a battle, please?" I ask.
"Sure!" says Tiffany. "May I see your Fighter's License?"
I hand it to her. "Thank you!" she says. "Go in the door on your right to the Battle Area!"
"Thanks!" I say, and Rosie and I walk through the door and down the hallway. We stop at the door into the arena. Rosie peeks through the door and her face gets red.
"HEY!" she yells. That guy has my vivosaurs! The rat!". She then looks at me sympathetically.
"Don't worry," she assured me. "Those aren't my best ones. You'll be able to win easily." "But if you don't, we'll never be able to catch the thief."
I stood there the entire time, not listening.
"Now," she yelled. "Go get em!".
I walked into the stadium, and the crowd cheers.
"Hey, folks!" the announcer yells. His name was P.A something-or-other.
"Let's get to the battling! On this side, the rookie Fighter with the rare Guan, HUNTEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR SWAGGINS!"
The crowd cheers some more.
"And on this side," P.A yells. "The fighter that apparently likes peanut butter, JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!". The crowd laughs. He has brown hair, a blue headband, a dark teal short sleeve jacket, brown belt, dark brown pants and dark tan shoes. He sends out Rosie's Spinax and V-Raptor.
K, guys, I think. Let's have Wildfire in the AZ, Spiner in the SZ and Dandelion in the SZ.
Just like last battle, Dandelion looks itching to fight.
"Wildfire, use…what?" I yell.
He has another move.
It's called Great Unmasking.
I back up really quickly and fall over, making the audience laugh and Rosie wince.
Wha…how!? I think.
Yeah, I may or may not have taught Spiner and Wildfire how to transform… Dandelion said.
DANDELION. MIND HUG. NOW. I think.
I then smile and yell, "Wildfire, Great Unmasking!"
Guan starts to glow white, just like Dandelion did. He grows to be just as big as Dandelions Big-Form, and his head even bigger. His crest becomes taller and slimmer until it turns into what looks like feathers. His bulk becomes enormous, his arms get much smaller, and his jaw, instead of being the slim jaw of a raptor, was now the big, bulky jaw of a T-Rex.
Then he stopped glowing.
In his place is a T-Rex.
The crowd gasps, and I even see a few of them faint. Rosie stepped back, then smiled. P.B Jay did the opposite.
"OK!" I yell. "Dandelion, Grow Up!"
Dandelion turns into her Big-Form.
More of the crowd faints, and Rosie's vivosaurs start to shake. P.B Jay look like he might pee him self.
"OK!" I yelled, my confidence growing. "Spiner, use Spine Change!"
He also starts to glow. He gets huge, bigger than Dandelion and Wildfire, and much longer, too. His big, bulky jaw turns slim and crocodile-like. His spines grow skin in between and turns into a fin. His arms grow much longer, and his claws longer and sharper. His legs become longer and slimmer. He stands more upright. When the glow faded, a totally new vivosaur stood in his place.
It had a cream-colored top, with a blue underside. Red stripes ran down its body, legs and arms. Under it's elbows, it was all red with yellow stripes. Instead of huge, railroad spike teeth, it now had tiny, sharp little teeth. His spines had fused together making a big fin on it's back. The base of it was red, with the top orange. It had wavy yellow lines going down it.
Even more of the crowd faints, and I see P.B Jays pants darken at his crotch. In my head, I see an Epic Face.
After a few seconds, P.A says in a shaky voice "P.B, it's y-your turn."
P.B Jay doesn't move.
"P.B!" P.A yells.
P.B Jay snaps back to attention. He gets a hard look on his face.
"Spinax, Spinax Fang on T-Rex!" he yells.
Spinax took a few cautious steps forward, then runs in a frenzy toward Wildfire.
Wildfire calmly steps out of the way. When Rosie's Spinax charges past, Spiner grabs it's tail and flings him into the wall. The Spinax looks back in horror, runs back to P.B Jay.
"Wildfire, Tyrant's Roar on…well…everyone!" I yell.
He roars an ear-splitting roar, and when I looked on the screen, both of Rosie's vivosaurs were almost KO'd already.
"Spinax, Spinax Fang on Tarbo!" P.B Jay yelled.
That was a mistake.
When Spinax charged, Dandelion ran out to meet him. She grabbed his neck and flung him back, sending him back into his medal.
P.B Jay's eyes got big, but his expression did not change.
"OK, Spiner, finish him of with Spino Fang!" I yell. Spiner latches down on the V-Raptor, doing 56 damage and putting it in it's medal instantly.
"OK, everyone!" P.A yells, his voice back to normal. "HUNTER WINS!"
Everyone cheered.
When I walked out of the arena with Rosie, the lobby was already packed with people. Some had cameras. They all ran up to me, asking questions and flashing pictures.
Then, I sensed Dandelion send a thought out. I couldn't hear it, but I guessed it was threatening because everyone backed off.
Rosie and I turned to P.B Jay, who had also come back with us.
"I'll take MY vivosaurs back now, thank you very much!" she snapped at him.
"Whoa, hold up!" P.B Jay yells in confusion. "I bought these with my own money. What makes you think there yours?"
"You bought them?" Rosie asked. "Are you sure you didn't steal them from me?"
"Of course not!" he yelled. "What's going on here?"
"Well," I explained. "These medals were stolen from her at Greenhorn Plains. Who did you buy them from?"
"I got them from a guy named Medal-Dealer Joe" he replied. "Can't miss him-he's got eyes like a Lambeosaurus."
"That's him!" Rosie yelled. "Do you know where we could find him?"
"Nope," he said. "But I first heard about him at the Fossil Guild."
"OK!" Rosie yells. "But could I have my medals back please?"
"Oh yeah, I forgot!" he said, handing her her medals back. "I never would have bought them if I knew they were stolen. I'll report that con-man to the police."
He waved, and left the stadium.
"Ok, let's go to the Fossil Guild!" Rosie said.
So, we walk into the same area where the Police Station is and into the tall building with the spinning roof. Inside, there are three counters, one on the right, one on the left, and one in front of us.
We walk to the counter in the back. "Yes?" the man asks. He's kinda fat, with light brown skin with black hair and sideburns. He also has a green, yellow and red hat, white collar, a gold shirt, green vest, red pants, and a tan belt.
"Were looking for a man called Medal-Dealer Joe" I say.
"Hmmmmm…Medal-Dealer Joe…" he ponders. Let's see…Ah, yes! He said he's doing business in Greenhorn Plains."
"Thanks!" Rosie yells. "Greenhorn Plains again, huh? YES! I can finally get my Dino Medals back!"
She sprints out of the Guild, me close behind.
"Hi, Beth!" I say. "Can we get a boat to Greenhorn Plains?"
"Sure!" she says, and calls up Captain Travers. 5 minutes later, his boat pulls up.
He doesn't say a word as we climb in, but he smiles mischievously.
After the short trip, we rip down the trail, through Greenhorn Plains and into the junkyard.
Under a tree is Medal-Dealer Joe.
"Gotcha, Medal-Dealer Joe!" Rosie yells. "Or should I say Medal-Stealer Joe?" "Now hand over my Dino Medals!"
"Well, it seems I don't need this disguise anymore…" he chuckles. He rips of his shirt and pants, causing Rosie and I too look away. When we turn around, a new man is standing there.
He now has orange-yellow, spiky hair, a sleeveless maroon shirt, long, red gloves, blue pants, brown boots, and a thick gold belt.
"But these medals?" he says. "These are mine, fair and square. The only way your getting these back is in a Fossil Battle."
"Hunter, you'll have to fight him, and he has all my strong medals." Rosie says. "Good luck!"
Joe sends out a Shanshan, a Goyo and a Metria. The Metria is neon green, with a teal blue underside, a yellow fin on it's back, and yellow spots all over it's body.
I send out Spiner in the AZ, Wildfire in the SZ and Dandelion in the SZ.
"Metria, Green Fang on Spinax!" Joe yells. Rosie then walks up to me.
"Hey, Hunter!" she says. "Take this!" she tosses me a device that looks like a miniature version of the screen in the Fossil Stadium. When I turned it on, it showed the same screen as the Fossil Stadium, but with this battle.
"Thanks!" I yell. Metria's attack did 45 damage.
"OK, Spiner, use Spine Change!" I yell. He transforms into his Big-Form.
Joe's jaw drops. "Why didn't I steal those!?" he rages.
"Metria, use Green Fang!" he yells. It does 55 damage. That's HALF of his LP.
"OK!" I yell. "Spiner, use Spino Fang!" It does 150 damage, putting it back in it's medal.
Now my jaw drops.
"OK, Spiner, swap with Dandelion!" I yell. Spiner moves to the EZ, while Dandelion moves to the AZ.
"Shanshan, use Shan Fang!" Joe yells. It does 29 damage.
"OK, Dandelion, use Grow Up!" I yell. She transforms into her Big-Form. I just noticed that the transformation heals all of their LP.
"Shanshan, use Shan Fang!" Joe yells. It does 16 damage.
"OK, Dandelion, use Tarbo Fang!" I yell. It does 200 damage! It turns back into a medal.
Joe looks shaken, but yells "Goyo, Rock Head!" It does 12 damage.
I smile, and yell "Dandelion, Tarbo Fang!" It does 193 damage, putting it in it's medal. My vivosaurs roar in victory.
Joe just stares into space.
"Hmph!" Rosie yells. "I'll take my Dino Medals back, you creep!" she says as she yanks the medals out of Joe's hands.
"Gosh DARN IT!" he yells. He steps back. "You haven't seen the last of me! I'll get you, so you better watch your back!" He runs down the trail, only to bump into a cop.
"Think again, Joe!" Captain Bullwort yells. "Your under arrest!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he yells, and two police officers drag him back to the dock.
"We couldn't have caught this thief without you" he says. "You have my sincerest thanks."
"Thanks!" Rosie smiles.
"Level-Up Battles are starting soon. I hope your both trying out for the next level." He says.
"Oh my gosh!" Rosie yells. "I completely forgot! Level-Up Battles let you advance to the next level! But best of all, you have access to a new dig site! You're gonna sign up, right?"
I nod, smiling.
"Great! Let's root for each other!" she smiles. "Thanks for helping me get my medals! See ya!" She walks a few steps before turning around and waving. I wave back, and get butterflies in my stomach.
What was that about? I wonder.
I know… Spiner says slyly.
What? I ask.
Nothing… he says, and my vivosaurs start giggling.
I narrow my eyes and walk forward. I get on Captain Travers' boat and ride back to town. I walk in the Fossil Center.
Time to get some new friends! I think.
I got all second body parts for my vivos, except for Wildfire. Maybe next time, I say to a depressed Wildfire. Then I got a new head and body.
"OOOOH!" I yell.
I plop him in the reviving machine. It gets foggy, and when it clears, there stands a new vivosaur.
"OH YEAH! A V-RAPTOR!" I yell, remembering the battle with Holt.
It stares at me for a second, then a bomb goes of in my head.
"OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!" he yells. "IALWAYSWNTEDTOBEADINOSAURAGAINWOOHOO! YEAH!"
"Um…hi?" I think.
HIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI! He yells. BYE! He yells, and goes back into a medal.
I can hear him and Dandelion talking. Then I remember.
Hey, V-Raptor! I think. He and Dandelion go silent.
Yeah!? He yells.
Um, how 'bout a name?
YEAH!
Um…how about Poison Blade?
AWESOME!
After that, I walk out and see missiles shoot toward the Fossil Stadium. They explode against it.
HOLY CRAP! SOMEBODY'S BOMBING THE STADIUM! I panic.
"BEEP-BOOB-BOOP-BEEP" A sound above me goes.
"Attention, everyone!" I voice says. "Level-Up Battles will be beginning shortly. All participating Fighters should make their way to the Fossil Stadium for registration"
I blush as I realize the explosions were just fireworks.
I walk into the Stadium and up to Tiffany. "We are currently accepting entries for Level-Up Battles." She says. "Would you like to begin yours?'
"Yes, please" I say.
"May I please see your Fighter's License?" she says. I hand it too her, and she looks i0t over.
Ah, Hunter, Level 1 Fighter" she says. "Ok, let me explain Level-Up Battles. You will be tested on cleaning fossils, and then you will have a Fossil Battle test. Depending on your level, it may have multiple battles or special rules. When your ready, go through the door to your right."
I nod, and see KL-34N again. "Greetings!" he says. He takes me into the cleaning room, where I get a perfect 100%, even though I just had to get a 55%.
"Congratulations on passing your cleaning test!" Tiffany said when I walked out. "Next is your Fossil Battle Test. Go through the door on the right when you're ready."
I nodded, and walked through the door again.
At the end of it was Wendy.
"Wendy?" I asked. She smiles. "Yep!" she says. "You may know me as the Fossil Center receptionist, but today I'm a Level 1 Master and your opponent. I'll be testing you to see if you you're qualified to be a Level 2 Fighter, so I won't taking it easy on you. Hit me with your best shot."
I chuckled. "Oh, contraire!" I say. The door opens, and we both step out into the Stadium.
"WELCOME TO THE NEXT LEVEL-UP BATTLE!" P.A yells. The crowd cheers.
"On this side, the Fossil Center receptionist, you all know her…WEEEEENDYYYYYY DIGGIIIIIINS!" The crowd cheers. She throws out a V-Raptor, a Goyo, and a Shanshan.
"WAIT, WHAT!?" I think.
"I don't know!" yells Wildfire.
Shaking off my confusion, I ask, Hey, can one of you step out this Battle for Poison Blade?" I ask.
"I will" Dandelion says.
Aw, you don't have to.
I think it'll be good for me.
Ok!
"AND ON THIS SIDE," P.A continues. "THE FIGHTER WHO CAUGHT A CRIMINAL AND HAS SOME AMAZING TRANSFORMING VIVOSAURS, HUUUUUUNTEEEERR SWAAAAAAAAAGIIINS!"
I throw out Poison Blade in the AZ, Spiner in the SZ and Wildfire in the SZ.
"V-Raptor, Toxic Combo on V-Raptor!" Wendy yells. It does 27 damage.
When I look at Poison Blade's moves, I see a transform one.
Thanks, Dandelion! I think.
No prob she says.
"Okay, Poison Blade, use Toxic Transformation!"
He shouts, and starts to grow. He gets bigger and bigger, as big or maybe a bit smaller than T-Rex. The feathers on his eye ridges travel to his head and make on big feather ridge on the very top of his head.
When he stopped glowing, I think I heard P.A pass out.
He was completely green, with a white underbelly. He had horizontal yellow stripes going down his body. His feathers were white at the bottom, and grew pink at the top.
Nobody said anything.
Finally, P.A said, "Well, that's interesting, folks!"
Wendy smiles, and says "V-Raptor, Toxic Combo on that new V-Raptor!" It does a critical 38 damage and poisons him.
"OK, Poison Blade, Mega-Claw on V-Raptor!" I yell. He runs up and slashes the V-Raptor, doing 79 damage and putting him in his medal.
"OK, Poison Blade, swap with Wildfire!" They do it. "OK, Wildfire, Long Fangs on Goyo!" It does 26 damage.
"Goyo!" Wendy yells. "Rock Head on Guan!". It does 13 damage.
"Wildfire!" I yell. "Great Unmasking!" He transforms.
"Goyo!" Wendy yells. "Rock Head on T-Rex!" It does 9 damage.
"Wildfire, Tyrant's Roar!" I yell. It does 49 damage to Goyo, putting it in it's medal, and 38 damage on Shanshan.
"Shanshan, use Shan Fang on T-Rex!" Wendy yells. It does 16 damage.
"Wildfire, finish it with Tyrant's Roar!" I yell. It does a critical 62 damage, putting it in its medal.
"HUNTER HAS WON THE BATTLE FLAWLESSLY!" P.A yells. The crowd cheers.
I walk out of the Arena, Wendy close behind.
Again, people crowd me in the lobby. I hear Dandelion tell them something, and this time I heard the words 'your head off'.
They once again backed down.
"Congratulations, Hunter!" Wendy said, apparently not hearing or caring about what Dandelion said. "You defeated a Level 1 Master!" She takes out my license and says, "I hereby certify you a Level 2 Fighter!" She stamps my license.
"OH YEAH!" I yell. I hear her talk about books or something, but I don't listen and stare at my license. I snap back to attention.
"But for now, bask in your victory!" she says. "Good luck on becoming a Master Fighter someday!" she says, and leaves.
Rosie enters the Stadium with an old guy following her. He has a white beard, a light blue suit, blue eyes, a purple dress shirt, pink tie and tan shoes. He's also pretty fat and short.
"You already leveled up?" Rosie marvels. "Wow, Hunter! I failed pretty badly at my cleaning test. When I finally passed, I got crushed in my Fossil Battle." She sighs and frowns. "I'm going to try again now."
"Don't worry, you can do it!" I tell her reassuringly. She smiles.
"But first," she says. "Let me introduce my grandfather. He's a very important man."
Holy cow! He's Mr. Richmond! I think.
"How do you do, Hunter?" he asks. I'm Mr. Richmond. I heard about the incident with the Medal Dealer. I appreciate you looking after my granddaughter. Thank you, and I hope you and Rosetta will become good friends. You seem to work well together." His eyes twinkled and he smiled very slightly and the last two sentences. Rosie saw it too, blushed, and hit him. I felt a bit offended.
"Come by and visit whenever you like. I'm in the Richmond Building over in the Guild Area."
"Thanks!" I say, and wait on the benches. I thought about the look Mr. Richmond got, and the way Rosie reacted. Then Captain Travers walked in.
"Hey, sport!" He said. "I got somethin' for ya!" He hands me a fossil rock. "Forgot to give that to you. See ya!"
"Thanks!" I yell. I stand up to go to the Fossil Center. But then Rosie stands up and goes into the Arena. And, it happened so fast that I might have imagined it, but Mr. Richmond shot me a glance, then looked at Rosie. But he then walked out as if nothing had happened. I decided to watch Rosie's Battle.
I walked in the Stadium and got a front row seat. She was going against Wendy. A different guy did the intro this time. His name was Slate Johnson. Rosie had out her Siamo, with a Shanshan and a V-Raptor. It was intense, and very close, but Rosie won.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I yelled, as loud as I could. Rosie looked subconsciously around her shoulder, and saw me. She smiled, and blushed.
She walked out.
I derp, and get a fallen feeling in my chest.
I go to the Fossil Center, and my spirits are lifted when I see what fossil Captain Travers got me. "You sea DOG…" I say.
It's a Guan fossil.
After that, I go back to the hotel.
"Hey, Holt!" I yelled. "Yello!" he yelled back. "So, did ya get Level 2?".
"OH YEAH!" I yell, showing him my card.
"BOOM!" he yells, and we high-five.
We have a nice dinner, and then watch TV for a bit. They now have their own Fossil Fighters channel.
"So, I met Rosie Richmond today," I say. His eyes get wide. "REALLY!?" he yells. "And I met Mr. Richmond, too" I said. His jaw drops. "I went to her battle, and when she saw me, she walked out with a blush." I say.
He gets a sly smile on his face.
"What?" I ask.
He sighs happily, and says "Night, Hunter."
"Night?" I say.
We walk to our rooms, and get in bed.
Me: WOO! MORE THAN 50 PAGES LONG!
*Everyone high fives*
ASFJerome: Yeah! I finally get to be in the story!
Me: Why do you keep bringing this up? Anyway, if you didn't notice already, I've added a few SURPRISES here and there, like new moves, transformations, a bit of a different storyline, and…best of all…NEW VIVOSAURS!
Hunter: REALLY? THAT'S WHAT POISON BLADE WAS?
Poison Blade: Of course.
Everyone: :P
