Maki: Hokay, I admit it. There's not going to be prizes for every chapter. Yet there will be for some. Sorry 'bout that. And the answer from the previous quiz is Seijuu Sentai Gingaman (counterpart of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy) that ran from 1998 – 1999. Anyways, let's get this chapter on the road!


Previously on Poké Rangers Element Warriors: Kaine began to feel inferior after losing a practice match against Mira. Meanwhile Serafina sends out the Spirit Beast, Eygen; who has the ability to turn people blind, though only temporarily. At the same time the rangers receive news from Mew on an active crystal. Kaine falls victim to Eygen and soon realises that he didn't need superiority when having friends with him. In the end, the rangers destroyed the Spirit Beast, with Kaine's eyesight returning afterwards. And that crystal was no more than a fake.


It was a normal, sunny day for the residents of Celadon City. A place most known for its largest Department Store; which was were Dama and Ben are heading to now, after gratefully given permission to have a day off from Karol. "I always wanted to go here." Dama said.

Ben tilted his head in confusion. "You do? I thought you have."

"It's not like that. You see-" She trailed off, looking in another direction.

"NO! I don't wanna to go!" Suddenly, the door to a house close to them slammed open. A small blur dashed out and knocked Ben over, who yelped. Dama's eyes widen. "Ben!"

"Tyler!" They turned to the top of the steps, where a woman stood, looking worried.

Then both rangers stared at each other.

"Huh?"


Karol: Long ago, there was a war on this planet. Victory was assured when five brave warriors eradicated the evil that tried to conquer the universe. Now, years later…

Chapter 6: Scare in the Air

Chaos Palace

"My queen, I need to-!" Merqias' eyes flung open in shock when he first entered the throne room; said place being vacant. "Where did she go?" He teleported out to another location, almost colliding with Serafina.

"Merqias…" she muttered.

"Have you seen Lutemecia anywhere?"

Serafina gaped. "What? She's-"

"Missing? Yes." He replied. "I was going to find her."

"Do that. I had been planning to send out a Spirit Beast to terrorize one of the cities as atone for my failure the other day."

Merqias nodded. "Go ahead."

"Understood."


Celadon City

Kanto Region

Ben looked back and forth. The place was… nice; that is if you were into old-fashioned accessories. He cast a glance at Dama who sat in a chair across from him with two other adults sitting opposite to them, man and woman; all four surrounding a round coffee table.

"We apologize for our son's behaviour." The man said.

Dama waved him off. "No trouble at all."

"Can I ask… what happened?" asked Ben.

"Ah, that. Well… we have been organizing on moving to Unova today. Tyler didn't take it too well." The woman answered.

"Why?"

"Because he was raised here; and… his older sister… passed away in a freak accident."

They gasped. "Sister?"

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

Tyler sobbed as crouched behind a bin found in an alleyway. "They'll never find me here. Never." Something flashed in his mind, showing a vivid image of a girl who looked ten years his senior.

"Tyler."

His head bolted up, a stream of tears trailing down his cheeks and curled into a ball. Sis. Why? Not far, Serafina stood on the roof of a building, watching the poor thing.

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

"We'll help!" Dama declared.

Tyler's parents were shocked. "Really?"

She nodded and glanced at Ben. "You too."

Ben gaped with a pointed finger at him. "Huh? Me?"

"Yep!" Dama grabbed his hand, not seeing Ben blush, and hauled him up.

The man nodded. "Thank you, both of you. If you need any assistance, my name's Adrian."

"And I'm Cathy."

"Okay, will do." Dama replied before pulling one baffled Ben out of the house. "Dama! Can you slow down?" She stopped when they were halfway down the street and glanced at him.

"Oh… sorry."

Ben sighed after being released, rubbing a sore hand. "Jeez, first, you wanted to go to the department store. Now this? What's up with you?"

"Never mind that now, let's go!"

He groaned at seeing Dama run off. Man… Glad I don't understand girls.


Chaos Palace

This room was dark compared to the others Lutemecia ventured into before. Only source of light was from the glowing crystals attached to the purple shaded pillars. Lutemecia knelt on a transmutation circle, one hand wrapped over the other underneath her chin in prayer. She began to mutter something in a gibberish language. Suddenly, the gem attached to her choker glowed. A light shot out and hit the middle of the circle, bathing it in red light; and her too.

As she was continued to be bask in light, Lutemecia felt an overwhelming power surge in her. However that power was too much for her. Thus Lutemecia cried out in pain. "My queen!" A voice shouted. Since everything blocked her senses, she couldn't hear who it was. Only she did after falling into a pair of strong arms. The light vanished in the process.

Lutemecia groaned and shifted in the arms, black eyes cracking open to stare at the one who caught her. "Merqias?"

"My queen, you've shouldn't had done that. It's too soon to regain your true form." He helps Lutemecia sit, supporting her shoulder with his hands. "Please don't do that again."

"I deeply apologize. It won't."

"Good. I'll make sure of it."


Celadon City

Kanto Region

Meanwhile Kaine and Tom were sitting at a table in the plaza, supposedly waiting for Dama and Ben's return from the Department Store.

"What's taking those two?" Kaine muttered as he looked one way, with his head on his hand. Tom, who sat opposite of him, took a sip from the Smoothie cup in his hand.

"You know Dama; she's a girl. And like all girls, they love shopping." Tom answered.

He shook his head. "Not every girl does, remember?"

The latter's eyes sprung wide and face palmed. "Oops. Forgot. Speaking of which, why didn't Mira come with us?"

"Who knows? It's not like it's our business."


EPO Headquarters

Moonlight Island

"Man. Wish I could've gone with them!" Karol pouted as she worked away on her computer in the Control Room. "But knowing myself; I'm always busy."

Dewgong turned to her. "What's so special about Celadon anyways?"

"Well, it's a very popular city." She reached for her coffee mug next to the computer. "The Department Store is the largest store Kanto…" Whilst she gave detail to Dewgong, Pidgeotto noticed something off about Charmeleon, who seemed to isolate himself from them.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Charmeleon's face fell. "I'm worried about Mira. That she didn't go with them."

"Is she sick buzz?"

"If it's only that easy Electabuzz. But no; it's something really different."

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

Mira panted as she collapsed onto the sand, her sword clattering next to her. She had been training by herself most of the morning till Karol came along and granted the rangers to take a day off. But Mira refused, letting the other four go ahead without her. They were hesitant but agreed… eventually. Taking in another deep breath, pain suddenly concealed her very being. Bitting her lips to supress a cry, the pain vanished soon after.

Mira began to unravel the bandages on her arm. She flinched at the sight; it looked small, but you can faintly see a dark shaded mark that seemed to trail up her arm. Mira sighed before wrapping the bandages up again and grabbed her necklace to stare at it. What am I going to do? The gem glistened in response.


Celadon City

"Where is he?" Dama wondered as she and Ben continued to search for Tyler throughout the city, asking a variety of people; yet, end up with nothing. Regrouping once more, Ben tiredly sat down on the bench. "Dama, give up. We searched everywhere already."

She shook her head. "No, I'm not."

"Why would you go so far for this kid?" Ben questioned curiously.

"Because-" Dama was cut off upon thinking they heard a scream.

"What was that?"

"Dunno. C'mon!" She grabbed his hand and dragged Ben along with her. Meanwhile, Kaine and Tom were walking in a different direction; shocked to see them like that. "Du- was that Dama… and Ben?" asked Tom.

Kaine shrugged. "How should I know?"

"Well don't just stand there. Let's follow!"

"I told you not to give me orders!" He retorted before darting after Tom. Dama and Ben ran into a nearby alleyway, which was where they found Tyler, who was fearfully backing up against the wall behind him. To their surprise, it was Serafina who cornered him.

"Now, be a good little boy and don't move an inch." She advanced onto him, scroll in hand. However only seconds did Serafina narrowly dodged something about to hit her. She turned around to face her attacker.

"Nice hit Samurott!" Ben exclaimed. Said Pokémon howled.

Serafina hissed. "Guardians."

"Leave him alone Serafina." Dama said.

"I don't have time with you. Sandcutters!" Thus the foot soldiers appeared, separating them from Tyler.

"Just great." Ben murmured. The Sandcutters roared and charged with full speed; ready to attack. He yelped from nearly being hit by one of their blades.

"Excellent. Keep it up." Serafina then turned back to her task. "Now- Hey! Where did that brat go?" It's true. Tyler suddenly vanished when she got distracted. She whipped around to see him scramble through the herd. "You!" Tyler began to run faster than he could. Ben elbowed one Sandcutter in the neck not long till he grabbed another Poké Ball out. "Bastiodon!" The Pokémon was released from its ball, showing itself before him.

Then Ben glanced at Dama. "Dama!"

"What?" she asked.

"Go after Tyler. I'll hold them off."

"But-"

"Do it! Make sure Serafina doesn't get to him!" Dama hastily nodded and headed after Tyler before they could argue any further, almost colliding into Kaine if she hadn't avoided him.

"Ben!" He grinned upon seeing his other male comrades arriving at the scene.

"Good timing! I can use a hand here." Ben said.

"Okay." All three stand in line and pressed their allocated star on their brace. "Set up ready. Standing by."

"Metamorphosis Activate!"

"Complete."

"Let's make a quick work out of them!" Tom shouted.

Kaine nodded. "Agreed."

"Alright. Guardian Weapons, Engage!" With that, their personal weapons materialized into their hands. Ben grinned. "I'll go first. Magnetic Thunder Cut!" After his Spark Lance had enough charging, and that several Sandcutters were in a good feet, Ben struck them with a surge of electricity that sent them flying; and of course, destroying them in the process. "Nice." Tom commented. "Here I go, Feather Hurricane Attack!" He threw the hurricane forward once he gathered enough wind, destroying some Sandcutters that got trapped in it.

"Now for the finisher," Kaine said. "Boomerang Razor Slash!" After pushing back one Sandcutter with his shield, he flipped backwards before throwing it. The shield glowed as it started spinning, and fired the leaves at the remaining Sandcutters, causing explosions upon their destruction.

"Sweet. Now that's taken care of, we should go after Dama." Ben said.

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

Meanwhile Dama followed Tyler on her EP Bike, having arrived in Celadon on it. She was relieved when the kid didn't go too far from only just arriving in Route 7. Another was that Serafina hadn't shown herself yet, which was a good thing. Dama hopped off her bike when he stopped all of a sudden.

"Tyler, stop. Please." Dama pleaded.

He glared. "Why should I?"

"Because I'm worried about you, we all are… even your parents-"

"NO THEY'RE NOT! They always dotted my sister. They loved her more than me…"

"That's not true! I'm sure-"

"It is! Compared to me, she's better at everything. She even received a scholarship to study over at Hoenn. It's not fair. If only she hadn't died… it's best if they forget about me." Tyler whispered.

Dama frowned. "Tyler…"

"There you are brat! Trying to outrun me are you? Let's say, that won't be happening." Tyler jumped and darted to hide behind the closest tree when Serafina suddenly jumped in front of them.

"Serafina!" Dama cried. "Leave him be. Tyler's not to be involved."

"So you say… well, I'll have to rid of your existence first!" Grabbing her Sais, she charged forward.

"Set up ready. Standing by."

"Metamorpho- AAAHH!" Dama screamed when she was pitched across the field, hitting a tree near the one Tyler hid behind, thus cancelling the morphing sequence. She groaned and shifted to a sitting position, flinching when she felt something wet drip down on the side of her head. Serafina walked forward, flipping one Sai in her hand. "Say your prayers."

"Multi Burning Strike!" Her Sais flew out of her hand after she cried when a burst of flames hit, staggering backwards. That's when Mira jumped in between them. Fully morphed and holding her Flame Sword aimed at Serafina.

"Mira." Dama said.

"What are you doing? Stand up!" she snapped.

"Dama! Mira!"

Dama was about to respond, but dizziness took over; causing now glazed eyes to roll up to the back of her head and fall into unconsciousness.


Masters Manor

Moonlight Island

Ben silently walked outside the manor. The only sound was feet treading in sand. It only had been hours since they arrived back here after a hectic day. Well for him and Dama at least. They successfully returned Tyler home, even if he was kicking and screaming half the way. And Serafina got away at some point to Arceus knows where. Dama had received minor injuries, save for the one on the head that had been treated. But since their encounter with Serafina, she had been… quiet. That started to worry him. Just as he turned a corner, well speak of the devil. There she was. Dama sat on the porch of the manor, head wrapped up in a bandage, much like Kaine when he got temporarily blind, and arms around her knees into a hug.

"Hey." She glanced at him.

"Hey…" Ben frowned when Dama looked away.

"Now that wasn't nice." He said half-jokingly.

"If it's a joke, then it's not very funny."

"I'm trying not to." He saw her shuffle aside, possibly allowing him to sit next to her, which he did. Ben then dug into his pocket and brought out an apple and threw it to her. "Here."

"Thanks." Dama muttered as she caught it.

Then he grabbed one for himself and took a bite before swallowing. "So what's eating you?"

"Wha-"

"You seemed down. That's all." Ben replied.

She clenched the apple. "I'm worried about Tyler."

"That's it? HAHA Don't worry. I'm sure he's a hundred percent fine." He shuts up when a glare was sent in his direction. "Okay, my bad."

"The reason why, is that he's like me. Somewhat." Dama said.

"May I ask, how?"

"Back then, I didn't used to be who I was now." She began with a shaky breath.

"You don't have to say it, if you don't want to."

"No, it has to come out sometime soon. You know a man named Jeremy Hall?"

Ben nodded after taking another bite. "Yeah. Isn't he some sort of billionaire from Cinnabar… wait. You share the same surname, don't you? Are you-"

Dama nodded. "He's my father."

His eyes widen in shock. Then as soon as he swallowed the apple piece, it accidently went down the wrong way; causing him to choke on it. Seeing this, Dama began to freak and started slapping Ben's back, at least to help him. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!"

"No need to apologize. But, wow. I didn't realize that I'm sitting right next to Cinnabar's richest girl. Tell me it's a dream." Ben said.

She shook her head. "No, it's not."

"Sweet Arceus…"

"Yeah. Then again, that's not the whole point. I used to be selfish when I was younger. And my parents spoiled me a lot. It was one time that I was slightly older, everything changed." Dama said. "I couldn't tell it was for good or bad. It had been really confusing."

He frowned. "Though I don't see the point how it relates to Tyler."

"He believes that his parents don't love him, only his sister. And because of my selfish ways, I felt the same; feeling so isolated from my own since they've been so busy with work and don't have time with me."

"I may not be rich. But I can understand where you're coming from." Ben wraps an arm around her shoulder in comfort, not noticing the latter leaning her head against his; closing her eyes. "You don't blame your parents for your wrong doings. It's not right. After all, they did help raise you."

"I know. It's just-"

"Hush, calm down. Relax." He ordered gently.

"Okay." As she did, Ben felt the sensation of someone watching. He looked around and saw it was Mira, hiding behind a nearby tree. He winked as it was a sign meaning "it's okay." She nodded in reply and walked off. Dama moaned softly, her head lolling to the side and opened her eyes.

"What was that?"

"The wind?"

"'Kay, I can go with that." Suddenly, both felt a ringing sound in their heads; knowing it all too well.

"Great, probably a Spirit Beast." Ben mumbled.

Dama's eyes widen. "You don't think-"

Both glanced at each other, having the same thought. "Tyler!"

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

The young scientist jerked her head from the computer when Dama and Ben run into the Control Room. Along with her were Captain Rivera, Mira, Tom and Kaine in different positions; Mew and Ace were somewhere, but that wasn't important at this point.

"Dama!" Dewgong floated to her. "Shouldn't you be resting?"

Dama nodded. "I'm fine. No need to worry about little old me."

"Dewgong." She looked over at Charmeleon on Mira's shoulder. "If she says she's fine, then-"

"Then leave it." Mira chipped in, tone of voice sounding serious.

"So what's going on?" asked Tom.

Kaine nodded in agreement. "Yeah. And why do we have the sensation a Spirit Beast is around?"

Karol was about to respond when Ace suddenly burst into the room. "Everyone! You gotta see this!"

"Show us then." Captain Rivera said. With a nod he brought out a remote that he flipped in his hand and pressed a button, which activated a screen projector before them. What shocked the rangers is that the projector showed a video of half of Celadon being destroyed and erupting into flames.

Dama covered her mouth and gasped. "Oh my!"

Ben glared. "Don't tell me this is some practical joke, we were there not long ago!"

Ace shook his head. "No I'm not kidding."

"This just in." They looked back to see a female reporter on the screen. Mira casts a glance at Tom, eyes narrowing at seeing a line of drool trailing down his chin and immediately whacked him on the head. "OW!"

"Focus." Mira hissed.

"Yeah yeah."

"Shut up, I wanna listen." Kaine stated.

"Celadon is now starting to become a disaster when a building suddenly caught on fire that's spreading at a fast pace which will soon cover the entire city. Authorities have now been given the order to evacuate all civilians in the surrounding area." All of a sudden, a male officer came onto the screen, in attempts to pull her away.

"What are you doing ma'am? This is now a restricted area to all civilians, including you."

"But my job!"

"We'll do with that later, c'mon!" They sweat-dropped when the screen faded.

"It's just a fire." Mira muttered. "So why should it concern us?"

"That's the problem." Ace replied. "Scientists have no identification on what caused it!"

Dama frowned. "Wait, then you don't think-"

"The Spirit Beast!" the rangers exclaimed in unison.

Karol nodded. "Indeed. If it was a Spirit Beast, then it concerns us."

"At this rate, everyone will die." Captain Rivera mused.

Dama shook her head vigorously and threw off her bandages. "As if we'll lose; I'm not going to give up!"

Ben grinned. "Same here."

"Count me in!" shouted Tom.

Kaine nodded in agreement before gazing at Mira who hadn't yet. Her mind might be on something else till they made eye contact. "What about you, fearless leader?" That's when everyone had their eyes on her.

Mira sighed. "Fine then, let's go!"

"Now that's what I like to hear."


Few hours earlier…

Celadon City

Serafina frowned as she watched the peaceful city from the roof of a building. "Ah. This is boring as hell! No fun when they're not around." Perhaps there's a way to relieve my boredom. She looks around, seeing if there was anything that could at least help her situation. Taking one more perimeter sweep then AHA! Right there were Tyler and his parents, all three settled in a taxi cab. And by the boy's expression, he wasn't amused by it. Well well well, lookie what we got here.

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

Present time…

"This looks worse than expected." Tom whistled. The others couldn't help but agree; being in the Aerojet, they got a good view of Celadon's current situation. By now most of the city was consumed by flames. Dama shivered when one building began to turn into nothing but ashes.

"Gosh I hope there wasn't anyone in there."

Kaine swallowed. "No kidding."

"Are you scared?" asked Ben.

"No I'm not."

"Sounded like you were."

"Shuddup!"

"Okay! Jeez." Mira frowned at the sight from the window, not liking it one bit. The ringing in her head was louder, but she didn't see a Spirit Beast anywhere. Whilst looking around, she could've sworn she saw someone; but who? It was no thanks to the flames that made it impossible.

"We should get down and start searching." Tom suggested.

"No, if we land here, we might risk damaging the Aerojet." Mira warned.

"You have a point." Dama muttered. "Let's fly over to a safer area."

"Whatever you say beautiful."

Whack! "Pervert."

"Hey!"

Only a matter of seconds did Tom landed the Aerojet in a location untouched by the flames and not far from Celadon. The rangers hopped out and ran towards the city. But unfortunately, when they got there, the heat was too intense for them to even enter. "Blast it." Kaine cursed as he lowered his arm. "We can't get too close or we'll burn to a crisp."

"What do we do now?" asked Dama.

Mira pressed the symbol on the silver brace which soon showed Karol's face on the screen. "Any idea?"

"Hmm… I assume that the fire's acting as a barrier." Karol responded.

"It's protecting the city? Odd." Tom said.

"Yeah; I don't wanna admit but our sensors show that it is. Hang on… try and transform. Your suits are fire proof after all."

They sweat drop. "Why didn't you tell us in the first place?"

"Never crossed my mind. Sorry."

"You heard her." Mira said.

"Yeah!"

"Set up ready. Standing by."

"Metamorphosis Activate!"

"Complete."

Ben grinned. "Now let's brave the waves. Or should I say flames."

They groaned.

"WHAT?"

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

"Any minute now." Serafina pondered as she stood inside a room belonging to a tower. Like some places, this particular area hadn't been devoured by the fire yet. But why it hadn't been was unknown at this point. "This plan is working like a charm. Once those pesky Guardians come, I'll finish them for good."

She strode over to another room connected to the one she stood in, pushed the door open and smirked. In the middle of it was Adrian and Cathy, both bound and gagged, struggling against their restraints. "Your son's becoming a good use to me. If you'd paid attention to him, none of this would've happen. Oh well, looks like you'll be paying the consequences." She slams the door shut; ignoring Cathy's muffled cries on the other side.

"Serafina!"

She smirked. "Hmph well it's about damn time."

Just then the sound of glass shattering broke out and the rangers jumped into the room via their grappling hooks.

"One! Red Charmeleon Element Ranger! Mira!"

"Two! Green Ivysaur Element Ranger! Kaine!"

"Three! Blue Dewgong Element Ranger! Dama!"

"Four! Yellow Electabuzz Element Ranger! Ben!"

"Five! Purple Pidgeotto Element Ranger! Tom!"

"To defend this world with the powers of the ancient past." Mira said.

"Poké." Kaine and Dama said.

"Rangers." Ben and Tom said.

"Element Warriors!"

Serafina dully twirled a strand of hair with her finger. "Is it over now?"

"What evil scheme are you planning this time?" Dama asked.

"One that you won't imagine."

Kaine frowned. "And that is?"

"Someone save us!" A cry suddenly grabbed their attention. And the voice sounded familiar to Dama and Ben. "Adrian and Cathy!"

Ben growled. "You… what've you done to them?"

"You'll find out once I defeated you, Sandcutters!" That's when several dozen familiar faces formed in front of the rangers. Mira stepped forward, ready to face Serafina, when Dama stopped her.

"Lemme do it. I have a score to settle with her."

She sighed in defeat. "Fine."

"Oh really? I don't seem to- Ah that time. I remember it was when I almost sliced you to bits but your leader stepped in the way." Serafina stated. Sparks flew between their eyes not long till they clashed; Dama shifting to her Warrior Saber at the point. It was slash, dodge, slash, dodge every second they moved. Serafina dealt a kick to where the latter's temple meant to be, knocking her aside a couple of centimetres. Dama groaned and scrambled out of the way when Serafina suddenly threw a few Shurikens at her, narrowly avoiding one which almost scratched her arm.

"Dama." She looked at Mira who sent one Sandcutter flying. "Focus! Try figuring her weak spot."

"R-Right." Dama replied. She gasped all of a sudden when Serafina slashed her with her sai; only to send her back with her saber.

He should be here now. Serafina wondered. Then a tremor shook the ground. Heh, right on time.

"What was that?" cried Ben.

"Guardians, meet your maker, the Spirit Beast, Growldoom." They ran to the broken window, and saw a giant Growlithe standing on its two legs with the horns and bands of Houndoom, striding through the city; destroying it with fire-based attacks.

"Crap, not good." Kaine mumbled. "At this rate, the city will be in shambles!"

"Yeah. Let's get rid of these goons first. Guardian Ball!" Mira replied.

Said weapon then appeared in her hands. And she threw it to Tom.

He grinned. "Ben!"

The latter beamed upon receiving it. "Dama!"

"Okay. Kaine!" she kicked it towards him.

"Mira!"

"Alright. Elemental Dynamite!"

Serafina groaned when she saw the attack disposed the rest of the Sandcutters. "Well then, I'll be on my way; ta ta for now Guardians." With that she teleported away, leaving them to deal with the giant Spirit Beast.

"I'll be taking care of the hostages. Dama, I'm leaving the rest to you." Mira ordered.

"… Okay. I'll do my best." She replied.

Mira nodded. "That's the spirit."

Dama sighed when she saw Mira separate herself from the group. "Alright. You heard her, I'm in charge. Ben, you go and search for Tyler if he's around. And bring him to Mira's location. Tom, Kaine and I will deal with Growldoom."

"Yes ma'am!" they shouted.

She taped the side of her helmet. "Karol. The Zords!"

"On their way." Karol said.


EPO Headquarters

Moonlight Island

Karol grinned. "That's your cue guys."

"Alright." Charmeleon said. The scientist pressed a few keys not long before the computer screen turned green. "All Clear." There was a small rumble 'til a small mountain shaped machine materialised on the table in front with a hole in the centre.

"Let's go buzz!" Electabuzz declared.

Ivysaur sighed. "We know that Electabuzz."

The machine vanished when all five entered the hole.


Celadon City

"Are you alright?" Mira questioned when she removed Adrian and Cathy's restraints.

Adrian nodded. "Yes. But our son-"

"Don't worry. My teammates are handling the situation." She assured. "Let's get you out first."

"Thank you Poké Ranger." Cathy said.

No problem. Suddenly, the ground began to shake. Making the latter shriek in fear and hug her husband for dear life. Mira sighed when she noticed it was just Charmeleon outside in his giant form.

"What's that?" shouted Adrian.

Mira grinned. "Our ride. Hold on." She grabbed both of them and jumped out of the tower and onto Charmeleon.

"G'day folks. The name's Charmeleon and I'll be your guide for today."

"It talks too." Adrian breathed.

Mira groaned. "Knock it off will you Charmeleon?"

"Sorry." He responded.

"Hey!" Looking ahead they noticed Ben running towards them with an unconscious Tyler in his arms.

"Tyler!" Cathy cried in relief. Mira helped her get down soon enough bringing her son into her arms and hugged him. "Thank Arceus."

"Had to run all over the city to find him; lucky that I did." Ben said.

Mira nodded. "You did well. Now get back to your Zord. We still need to handle one more problem."

He saluted. "Alright."

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

Meanwhile Dama, Kaine and Tom, in their Zords, were trying to prevent Growldoom destroying the city any further.

"Stop right there Spirit Beast!" Dama commanded.

Growldoom turned around and scoffed. "Well, if it isn't the wretched Guardians. If Lady Serafina ordered me to destroy you lot, then I'll do it." He roared. "Flame Fang!"

Dama patted the console. "Let's counter that Dewgong."

"Okay." She replied.

"Ice Beam!" Dewgong then fired a stream of ice from her horn. Growldoom howled when they avoided his attack and staggered from the impact. He suddenly chuckled which got Kaine growling.

"What?" he asked.

"That was just the beginning. Bite Blitz!" Growldoom charged forward towards Dewgong who had no time to react to his attack, sending her back a couple of feet.

"Dama!" shouted Tom.

She groaned. "Ugh I'm okay."

"Bastard." Kaine growled. "Ivysaur. Let's get him!"

Ivysaur nodded. "Sure."

Meanwhile as the battle waged on, an airplane was flying over the city. Everyone in it having no idea what's going on. Back down on the ground, Growldoom let out a laugh when he saw Ivysaur crash into a building. "This is the end. Tail Whip!" He held out his hand and a whip shaped like a Houndoom's tail materialised in it. Growldoom swung it about, emitting specks of fire. Kaine groaned, shifting in his seat and saw the Spirit Beast advance on him.

"Kaine move!" Tom exclaimed. "Here we go. Wing Attack!" Pulling the joystick backwards, Pidgeotto flew up in the air before diving onto Growldoom, releasing a surge of feathers from his wings that aimed at the Spirit Beast.

"Nice try." Growldoom said. "Take this!" He swung his whip at Pidgeotto that successfully slashed one of the wings.

"AAH! We're gonna crash!" The latter cried upon the realisation that the wing was damaged; giving no support in the air. Whilst Tom was concentrating on getting Pidgeotto to fly, his console sensor noticed something coming in their way. He looked into the direction, and saw that it was the airplane. "Look out!"

Inside the plane, the passengers were now noticing the situation upon seeing Pidgeotto falling in their way.

"What the?"

"A giant Pokémon?"

It was too late; they already collided with each other, causing a huge explosion.

"TOM!" Dama screamed in terror.

Kaine fell back in his seat. "No way…"

"Yes! Lady Serafina is gonna be pleased with me." Growldoom confirmed.

"Who said that I was dead?"

"What?" Suddenly, the plane emerged from the explosion, shocking them.

Dama's eyes widen. "How-"

Tom, who was in the pilot's seat, clicked his fingers. "Easy. I only had enough time to shrunk Pidgeotto back to his miniature size and get into the plane to move it away." He glanced at the passengers, one who held the plane's pilot. "Though we might wanna make some minor adjustments once we're done."

Kaine sighed. "You're crazy."

Tom rubbed his neck. "Am I now?"

"Everyone!" Recognising that shout, they realised that Mira and Ben had finally arrived.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Mira said. "Let's quickly finish him."

Ben nodded. "Yeah. Hey, where's Tom?"

"Over here!" They glanced at the plane. "Long story. But I'll explain everything later." He looked over to the passengers. "Excuse me. Anyone here a good pilot?"

"Uh I am. Sorta." That belonged to a teenaged boy who looked to be 18 in physical appearance. "I've been studying to become a pilot myself since graduating school."

Tom beamed. "Alright. I'm giving you your first lesson."

"Huh?"

"Get everyone outta here." He ran to the hole he created. "See ya!"

"But- Fine."

"Sorry 'bout that." Tom said once in the cockpit of Pidgeotto. "Let's go!"

"You sure?" asked Dama.

"Yeah."

"Okay. Warrior Fusion!" Eventually, the Zords scattered about and formed into the Warrior Megazord. "Fusion Complete, Warrior Megazord!"

"Just try and destroy me. Bite Blitz!"

"We'll see about that." Mira said as the Megazord flew in the air to dodge.

"Hey! That's cheating!" He complained.

"Says you." Dama replied. "Legend Sword."

"Legend Sword: Knight Strike!"

"NO! How could this be?" Growldoom shouted as the finishing attack destroyed him for good.

Dama sighed as she slumped back down into her chair. "Let's call it for a day."

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

"Tyler!" Said boy turned on his heels to see Dama running up and waving at him; the other rangers not far behind. It was only seconds that his family was at the airport they caught up with him.

He gaped. "You-"

Cathy knelt next to him and placed her hands on his shoulders. "Now I believe you got to apologize to someone."

Tyler nodded. "Yeah. I know." He walked over to them. "I'm sorry. I was being too selfish to realize my parents loved me as much as my sister."

"At least we got that settled right?" asked Ben.

Dama smiled. "Yeah."

"So wait. Are you saying you're the one who saved the day?" They looked towards the airport, recognising the reporter from earlier that day along with the boy that Tom meet on the plane being interviewed.

"Well, I have to thank the Purple Poké Ranger. He's the one who got us out of the mess."

She turned back to the camera. "Ladies and gentlemen, I do believe we have some heroes to thank."

Kaine smirked. "Well, at least it's not the Purple airhead getting all of the attention right?"

"Hey!"

That resulted into everyone bursting out in laughter.


EPO Headquarters

Moonlight Island

Later that night, Ace entered the Control Room to do a final check of the place. He walked over towards the main computer, pressed several keys until the screen lit up into strange writing.

Ace paled. "Uh oh. That can't be good."


Dama: Next time on Poké Rangers Element Warriors…

Karol: It might be time to use that.

?: Hello Benny. Long time no see.

Ben: You!

Serafina: Allow me to introduce my latest plan, my lady.

Lutemecia: It better work this time.

Chapter 7: Expect the Unexpected

Ben: Man. What am I gonna do now?


Maki: Yay! Finished! *cue happy dance* Ahem, though some may think it's an actual air-based chapter/episode like the title should say. It mostly focused on Dama's character development. But oh well, what else could I do? In words of Lutemecia: See you next time, miserable humans.

Question #4: Name the Pokémon episode which shared the same title as this chapter's; must give name and number. (Hint: has one letter before 'Scare')
