Dice: "Last time on Poké Rangers: Lost Zone..."

On their way to the Ruins of Alph, the Rangers encounter Naomi, who reveals herself as the White Latias Ranger, with the intent of opposing the Rangers. At the same time, the Black Ranger joins the Rangers to assist in the battle.

Now, their next destination is Mt. Silver...

[10. Indigo Vortex]

A Black car with orange flame decals stops outside a bunker near Mt. Silver. The Johto number plate on the car reads 'D00MCRU1S3R'.

The driver steps out as the sun shines over his silver-dyed hair with purple streaks. He is wearing blue jeans and a purple shirt, finishing off with a purple scarf with a black eye symbol (representing Psychic-types) wrapped around his neck.

As he closes the door to his car, the man notices signs of forced entry into the bunker through a side door. He takes a peek through the door and spots a wandering group of BlackChops exploring the inner entrance of the bunker.

'Looks like they only penetrated the first line of defense. I might as well get rid of them before they get in any further.'

The man puts on a pair of purple Sunglasses. "Shade Morpher. Lost Zone, Energize!"

A small explosion could be heard from the summit of Mt. Silver.

The man powers down as the BlackChops disappear after being defeated. "That should take care of the pests."

He puts away his Shade Morpher walks up to a console. A blue beam from the console scans his eye. "Entry granted. Welcome back, Riku Blight."

Riku smirks. "Now to finish off what Claire started."

Claire: "A Mew was banished from this world by Arceus hundreds of years ago, until he was set free six months ago. The only ones who can protect the world from him are..."

The Six Rangers activate their Morphers.

"Poké Rangers: Lost Zone!"

Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Black and Indigo Poké Rangers are fully morphed.

Alright let's go, it's time to turn it on,

The Red Ranger removes his Charizard helmet, revealing David as he gives the thumbs up.

We set the record straight, we're gonna come through to right the wrong,
(Yeah!)

The Yellow Ranger removes her Raichu helmet, revealing Julia as she does a Magical Girl pose with her fingers and winks.

Fight evil, Ranger powers standing strong,

The Blue Ranger removes her Empoleon helmet, revealing Claire as she sweeps her hair.

We got it going on,
(Lost Zone, E-ner-gize!)

The Green Ranger removes his Sceptile helmet, revealing Dice as he gives the V for Victory sign.

We won't let down, cause we're gonna set the pace.

The Indigo Ranger removes his Espeon helmet, revealing Riku as he acts all cool.

We're always on the case, putting that Mew in his place,
(Yeah!)

The Black Ranger removes her Umbreon helmet, revealing Emma as she kisses her Umbreon helmet.

Bad guys keep messing with their every move,

At the Bridge, Kyle and Sarah perform a salute to the camera.

Poké Rangers never lose, always gonna show us through!

While in the Infirmary, Alexis and Storm are waving at the camera.

Stop these rangers,
Here there's no need to fret,

In a dark room, ZeroMew is sitting on his throne with his four Generals and Naomi standing by ZeroMew's Throne.

We're the ones that will make a way,
Here to make change,

Naomi morphs into the White Latias Ranger, engulfing the room in a bright light causing the screen to shatter.

When there's trouble we don't quit,
Come together to save the day,

The Z-Jet Mk.2 does a barrel roll in the sky.

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go!

The Red Ranger swings his Blazing Spears, creating an explosion that defeats a group of BlackChops surrounding him.

Here Come The Poké Rangers, (Yeah!)
Here Come The Poké Rangers, (Yeah!)

The Yellow Ranger performs a flip with her LZ Blaster in her hand, accurately shooting at the BlackChops before perfectly landing on her feet.

Here Come The Poké Rangers,
(Lost Zone, E-ner-gize!) (Yeah!)

The Blue Ranger performs a spin, swinging her Emperor Claws to form a vortex around the BlackChops, sending them flying off.

Here Come The Poké Rangers, (Yeah!)
Here Come The Poké Rangers, (Yeah!)

The Green Ranger jumps up as he swings his Leaf Saber at the jumping BlackChops, striking them down.

Here Come The Poké Rangers,
(Go, go, go, go, yeah!)

The Indigo Ranger creates an illusion substitute of himself that confuses the BlackChops before defeating them with a few shots form his Psycho Bazooka.

Here Come The Poké Rangers, (Yeah!)
Here Come The Poké Rangers, (Yeah!)

The Black Ranger swings her Lunar Fan, creating a black Tornado that sends the BlackChops flying away.

Here Come The Poké Rangers,
Poké Rangers: Lost Zone!

(Short Instrumental Solo)

The K-Bird Megazord performs the Trinity Slash by throwing the Six-Wing Shuriken.

The S-Dragon Megazord follows up with its Extra-Dimensional Slash.

Here Come The Poké Rangers, (Yeah!)
Here Come The Poké Rangers, (Yeah!)

The six Rangers pose in front of the two Megazords.

Here Come The Poké Rangers,
Poké Rangers: Lost Zone!

Poké Rangers: Lost Zone has been brought to you by:

The Time Traveling Pichu, coming soon to all good cinemas...and maybe that awful one in Cinnabar.

The Poké Rangers: Lost Zone Officially Licensed (Not really) Action Figures, with interchangeable heads, because that's an awesome feature on toys for boys.

And Poké Rangers: Lost Zone Officially Licensed (Not really) Dolls, because we target girls with our merchandising as well.

Dice is grumbling in the back seat of the Empoleon Humvee. "Next time, I'm calling Shotgun."

Emma is grinning as she sits in the front passenger seat as she rubs the fur on Julia's Pikachu. "Not unless I say it first."

Dice looks at Claire at the driver's seat. "Is she that difficult to deal with?"

Claire nods. "Yep. You'll get used to it eventually."

Dice glares at Emma. "I can't believe a brat like you is related to Sarah."

Emma sends a look back at Dice. "Who are you calling a 'brat'? For your information, I'm 25."

Dice is surprised. "Really? You look more like a 19 year old. But come to think of it, I thought Claire's 17, but she's actually 22."

Emma laughs. "I know. Even I thought the same thing when I first met Claire. Of course, my impression of her changed when she literally kicked Lt. Surge's ass in Jubilife City."

"Oh, so that's what happened to Lt. Surge," said Dice. "I thought he was in hospital after a mishap in Sinnoh."

Emma shrugs. "It was more misunderstand than mishap, mostly on Claire's part. But it's not as bad as the time she caused the infamous Slateport Cake Throwing Incident."

Dice is surprised. "You mean she was responsible? No wonder she refuses to go to Hoenn. With that huge bounty on her head, who wouldn't want to go back there?"

Emma grins. "You know, after talking about Claire and the troubles she causes, I don't even know what we were fighting over?"

Dice nods. "Yeah, we're in too much of a good mood to even think about whatever that started that pointless argument."

David is in the back seat next to Dice looking out of the vehicle as Julia follows on the StormRider Cycle. David sighs. 'Wow, first they're fighting against each other for the front seat and now they're happily chatting about trivial things. It's like the mood here changes faster than an episode of PokéBall Z.'

At ZeroMew's hideout, ChaRaging, Killer-Beedrill, DeathScyther and VictreeBomb reappear in front of Naomi and ZeroMew.

"I present to you your new and improved Generals."

ZeroMew gets a look over his four Generals and notices that there isn't a single visual change at all. "Naomi, tell me how my Generals have been improved from last time?"

Naomi nods. "Certainly. Activate Delta Mode!"

ChaRaging's body glows, changing from his Black Charizard body into a fully armored humanoid body, with the only parts of Charizard features being retained are his wings and flaming tail.

"I figured that ChaRaging would need a more suitable body to be on an equal level against the Red Ranger, so I modified ChaRaging's body to be able to keep up with his opponent, plus he loses that Charizard paunch."

Even though his face cannot be seen under the armor, ChaRaging smiles at Naomi as he nods. "Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment."

"Next, is VictreeBomb." VictreeBomb glows, changing into a robotic form of itself. "VictreeBomb is now not just your monster maker, he is now a weapon that can fire damaging bursts of energy at enemies. Of course, for VictreeBomb to be used as a weapon..."

Killer-Beedrill's body glows, changing into an armored humanoid wearing striped ninja gear, with a shuriken on his back. "...Killer-Beedrill will have to be the one to fire VictreeBomb's projectiles. In exchange for hands, Killer-Beedrill gains weapons dipped in concentrated Beedrill Poison."

Killer-Beedrill looks at himself. "I like my new body."

"And of course, to save the best for last, DeathScyther's upgrade."

DeathScyther is suddenly covered in black metallic armor, giving him the body of a Scizor. But instead of Scizor claws, DeathScyther receives a pair of Chainsaws as his arms.

"What the (beep)?" DeathScyther cursed. "ChaRaging and Killer-Beedrill get to be more human and I get to be a (beep)ing chainsaw wielding Fullmetal Edward (beep)ing Chainsaw-Arms!"

"Dual-Chainsaw wielding, to be precise," Naomi said.

"Whatever! When do I get a pair of normal hands with opposable thumbs I can use?"

ChaRaging grins under his armor. "I'm sure you would be needed to destroy every single tree in the world when you are ordered to, D-S."

DeathScyther glares at ChaRaging as he raises his chainsaw arms. "You want to be shredded to pieces with these?"

Despite DeathScyther's protests, ZeroMew smiles. "I like the upgrades, Naomi."

Back on the drive to Mt. Silver, Emma rubs Storm's tummy as the Pikachu yawns.

"You know, I've been reading about this new diet specially made for Pikachus," said Emma. "The article said than when a Pikachu who learns Agility undergoes a diet of only Oran Berries, they slim down dramatically."

Julia happens to be listening in on the conversation through an earpiece in her safety helmet. "Yeah, I heard about that," Julia replied through the earpiece. "Apparently, some idiot forgot to put in the words 'For Pikachus only' and as a result, it caused a huge shortage of Oran Berries in the Hoenn and Sinnoh Regions. I know my Mom didn't fall for that, simply because she's smarter than my unintentionally dense womanizer of a father." Julia hissed the words 'unintentionally dense womanizer' with venom.

Julia quickly changes the subject. "Anyway, did you guys watch the movie about the time-traveling Pichu who traveled through time just to search for Grepa berries?"

Emma nods. "Oh yeah, that movie was awesome. 'Get your Stinking Paw-Paws off me, you dirty Pikachu!'"

"Not to mention the time she ended up too far into the future, ending up seeing the remains of Goldenrod Radio Tower." Dice coughs to prepare his voice. "'You Maniacs! You blew it up! Arceus, damn you! Arceus damn you all to hell!'"

"That was pretty good," said David, impressed with Dice's impression.

Dice grins as he does a bow. "Thank you. Thank you very much."

The Rangers finally arrive at their destination, where Mt. Silver could be seen in the short distance.

Claire stops the Humvee. "We've arrived at our destination."

Dice and David look around, not seeing any landmark nearby, other than the mountain itself. "Not doubting your navigation skills, Claire, but are we lost?"

Claire pulls out a remote and presses a button. Suddenly the road in front is raised, revealing a hidden subterranean entrance. "Does that answer your question, Dice?"

The vehicles continue on through the secret underground path.

"One of Claire's secret projects had to be done here in Mt. Silver because of its isolated location," Emma explains. "We could have done it in Sinnoh, but Mt. Coronet's unique magnetic fields would have badly affected the initial results during test runs, so we played it safe and worked on it here for the time being."

Dice looks around the lighted tunnel. "How did you get to own a place like this?"

"Actually, it's a rental," said Emma. "The lease runs out at the end of the year. We were lucky the woman who allowed us to rent the place was quite generous with the lease. She's one of the co-owners of Golden Youths, so that makes it all the more easier for the paperwork to be dealt with."

"You're quite confident with your timetable," said a voice through Riku's earpiece.

"To be honest, I question my own sanity when I'm working with Claire, Kyle," replied Riku. "I guess we should be lucky to rent this place for to do this. I doubt the SeaBlade could hold the Zords for this kind of project."

Riku looks out of a glass window to see the three large Zords in the dark large hanger-like room.

"Trying to make these Zords portable like S-Dragon and K-Bird is no easy task. AMU has calculated that the amount of LZ Energy required to power up the Zords and make them portable into a small item would be enough to send the Eastern half of Johto and Western half of Kanto with Mt. Silver into the Lost Zone. And if I screw this up, that could happen."

Kyle: "Well, there goes our deposit when that happens."

At that moment, Claire enters the room with the other Rangers unannounced.

"And here we are," Claire said. "Our temporary base while we are in Johto."

Emma walks up to Riku. "Hey, Bro, guess what I brought."

Julia takes one look at Riku's clothes to figure out his color. "A purple Ranger?"

Emma shakes her head. "No, the correct color is Indigo. It just sounds way cooler than purple."

Riku sighs. "Emma, give me the chance to properly introduce myself." Riku looks at the other Rangers. "I'm Riku Blight, Emma's twin brother."

"I'm Julia Katsumoto, Leader of the team."

"David Fury, Pokémon Trainer whose plans are on hold until this mess is over."

"Andy 'Dice' Black, but you can call me 'Dice'."

Riku nods. "It's nice to meet you. Anyway, let us to get started on the problem at hand..."

Before Riku continues, the base alarm rings. Claire looks at the security monitor to see Naomi and ZeroMew's four generals roaming the base of Mt. Silver. "It's Naomi and it looks like she brought the not-so-Fantastic Four with her."

Riku grins. "It's best if they don't find out what we're up to here."

Naomi and the four Generals are walking towards Mt. Silver. "And this is where we received the last report from our scouts before they disappeared," Killer-Beedrill reports.

"BlackChops do not disappear that easily," ChaRaging said. "The only way that could happen is that they have stumbled upon something they shouldn't have and someone got rid of them. Most likely at the hands of a Poké Ranger."

Naomi nods. "I expect that they would have spotted us by now."

"That's right!" yelled David.

David jumps out from behind the trees, followed by the other five Rangers.

Naomi raises an eyebrow as she sees the group of six. "Six Poké Rangers?"

Julia looks at her teammates. "Let's show these guys why we are Poké Rangers!" said Julia.

"Yeah!" Julia, Dice, Claire and David open their PokéGear Morphers while Emma and Riku put on their Shade Morphers. "Lost Zone, Energize!"

A bolt of yellow lightning burst out of Julia's Morpher and zaps the area around her. The yellow lighting engulfs Julia's entire body before it disappears, revealing Julia wearing a yellow skin-tight battle suit with lightning designs on the skirt. Her Raichu helmet materializes over her head.

An eruption of flames shoots out from David's Morpher as David crossed his arms. The flames did not burn David as it covers David's body in a cloak of flames. David forcefully throws a punch, dispersing the flame cloak, revealing David wearing a red skin-tight battle suit with flames down the legs. His Charizard helmet materializes over his head.

A torrent of water splashed out of Claire's Morpher and spins around Claire, forming in an orb of water. The water orb freezes into a ball of ice, only to shatters a second later, revealing Claire wearing a blue skin-tight battle suit with bubble designs on the skirt. Her Empoleon helmet materializes over her head.

A flurry of leaves blows out of Dice's Morpher and the leaves forms a cloak around Dice. Dice tosses the Leaf Cloak away, revealing Dice wearing a green skin-tight battle suit with many leaf designs down the legs. His Sceptile helmet materializes over his head.

Emma's Shade Morpher glows as the moon appears behind her. Emma is engulfed in a ball of darkness. The dark ball is absorbed into Emma's body, revealing Emma wearing a black skin-tight battle suit with a skirt with two yellow glowing rings on each wrist and legs. Her Umbreon helmet materializes over her head.

Riku's Shade Morpher glows as the sun appears behind him. Riku is hit by a purple beam. Once the beam disappears, Riku is wearing an indigo skin-tight battle suit with a purple scarf and black eyes on the legs. His Espeon helmet materializes over his head.

"Leading the charge with the Merciless Stormfront!" The Yellow Ranger throws a couple of punches wearing her Storm Gauntlets before raising her right hand to make the 'V' for Victory with her fingers. "Lost Zone Yellow Storm Raichu Ranger!"

"Feel the burn from the Fury of my Flames!" The Red Ranger holds one of his Blazing Spears, spinning it around before picking up his the other spear that is planted to the ground, finishing off in a pose of having one spear behind him and the other in front of him. "Lost Zone Blazing Red Charizard Ranger!"

"Cutting through the seas as the Blade of the Ocean!" The Blue Ranger swings her Emperor Claws before crossing her claws for a pose. "Lost Zone Ocean Blue Empoleon Ranger!"

"Striking from within the Hidden Leaves!" The Green Ranger spins his fused Leaf Sabers over his head before separating them, holding each saber in each hand for a pose. "Lost Zone Forest Green Sceptile Ranger!"

"Crawling out from the depths of the Deepest Darkness!" The Black Ranger flips open her Lunar Fan and jumps up in the air, performing a back flip before landing safely on both feet, posing with her fan. "Lost Zone Black Twilight Umbreon Ranger!"

"Rising with the sun in the Majestic Dawn!" The Purple Ranger summons his Psycho Bazooka, firing a single energy shot into the sky before lowering his weapon, snapping his fingers on the right hand as his left hand holds his weapon. "Lost Zone Indigo Dawn Espeon Ranger!"

"Poké Rangers: Lost Zone!" The six Rangers pose as an explosion of yellow, red, blue, green, black and pink smoke burst out behind the Rangers.

The Indigo Ranger notices the pink smoke. "Dammit, Claire! I thought you changed the color of the smoke?"

Claire nods. "I did. But I need to use up the remainder of the pink before the purple comes out."

"Now it's our turn!" yelled Naomi. "Activate Delta Mode!"

ZeroMew's four Generals glow, changing into their Delta forms. Naomi activates her Dragon Gauntlet Morpher. "Lost Zone, Energize!"

Naomi's Dragon Gauntlet Morpher glows as the Morpher shoots out a spirit of a Latias that engulfs Naomi, covering her in a red and white skin-tight battle suit with a skirt and a white cape. Her Latias helmet materializes over her head.

"Hmmm, I see you gave them upgrades, Naomi," said Claire.

Julia pulls out her Storm Boomerang. "This is not looking good for us."

David grins under his helmet. "At least you've slimed down, ChaRaging."

"That Victreebel monster is now a cannon," said Riku.

"And the Beedrill monster looks like a ninja," said Emma.

Dice's jaw drops as far as possible within his helmet. "You got to be kidding, DeathScyther. Dual chainsaws?"

"Purifying all with the Divine Dragon!" Naomi jumps and performs a spin kick before landing on her feet. "Lost Zone Divine White Latias Ranger!"

"I don't know if I should point this out, but half of your suit is red," ChaRaging points out.

Naomi glares at ChaRaging. "The next one who mentions about the color of my outfit will be my next test subject, understand? Now, I believe it's your turn, ChaRaging."

ChaRaging decides to follow along with Naomi's roll call.

"Warrior of the Black Flames, ChaRaging!"

Killer-Beedrill is next. "Masterful Spymaster, Killer-Beedrill!"

Silence followed as VictreeBomb simply looks at Naomi.

"Oh right, Monster Maker VictreeBomb isn't the type to talk," said ChaRaging. "D-S, you're next!"

DeathScyther glares at his comrades. "No, I'm not doing it."

"Don't tell me you're still pissed that I gave you Chainsaw-arms," said Naomi. "Look, do the roll call and I might think about giving you proper hands."

"Fine!" DeathScyther points his left chainsaw at the Rangers. "Blade Master Strategist, DeathScyther!"

Naomi, ChaRaging, DeathScyther, Killer-Beedrill and VictreeBomb look and point at the Rangers. "In the name of Lord ZeroMew, we will punish/crush/kill/eat you!"

Naomi raises her hand. "Wait. That didn't sound right."

ChaRaging and DeathScyther groan. "You know what, let's just start fighting already!"

"Good idea. Attack!"

Julia leads the charge. "Attack!"

Killer-Beedrill is holding VictreeBomb. "Fire!"

VictreeBomb fires a few shots of dark energy at Riku and Emma. The twins dodge the projectiles.

"Allow me to handle this, Emma!"

"Go for it, bro!"

Riku runs towards the two Generals dodging VictreeBomb's projectiles.

Riku is suddenly receives a slash from Killer-Beedrill's shuriken. "You fool! Our upgrades enable us to fight in both long range and close combat. This is what you get for underestimating us!"

Riku grins under his helmet. "Actually, I should be the one who should be saying that you underestimated me."

Riku suddenly glows purple before exploding right in front of Killer-Beedrill and VictreeBomb.

"I call that move Dawn Mirage," The real Riku is standing right next to the Black Ranger. "Though it's simply it a combination of Substitute and Explosion, though the name does sound more catchy than its explanation."

"I need reinforcements!" Killer-Beedrilll yells.

A group of BlackChops with a BruteChoke appear behind Killer-Beedrill and VictreeBomb.

Riku pulls out his LZ Blaster and attaches a purple scope on his blaster. "It's your turn to deal with those two. Allow me to take care of the soldiers."

Emma nods as Riku faces off against the BlackChops and BruteChoke.

Inside Riku's helmet, his visor has target indicators on three of the BlackChops pointed out for him by the purple scope. Riku fires three shots at the three BlackChops. The BlackChops dodge the projectiles, but the energy shots suddenly change direction, hitting their targets.

"You're dealing with the most dangerous Poké Ranger of the team," Riku said. "Once anything is targeted by my Psycho Scope, you'll be hard pressed to find a way to not get hit by shots from my LZ Blaster."

The BruteChoke tries to punch Riku from behind, but the Indigo Ranger swiftly grabs the fist and swings around the BruteChoke while pointing his LZ Blaster at the BlackChops behind him. The Psycho Scope counts five enemies, so Riku pulls the trigger five times, firing five homing energy shots at the BlackChops. Riku flings the BruteChoke at the remaining BlackChops.

Meanwhile, Emma deflects a few energy shots from VictreeBomb using her Lunar Fan.

Killer-Beedrill is getting desperate. "She's like some sort of a relentless demon coming at us!" He pulls out his poisoned shuriken and throws it at Emma. "Take this."

The red eyes on Emma's Umbreon helmet suddenly glows, creating a void of darkness under Emma's feet, pulling her into the void while avoiding the shuriken at the same time. "Where did she go?"

The dark void appears on the ground behind Killer-Beedrill and VictreeBomb, with a pair of red glowing eyes glaring at its prey. A pair of black arms burst out of the void and grabs VictreeBomb and Killer-Beedrill. "She's behind us!"

"Astral Claw Smash!" The hands slam VictreeBomb and Killer-Beedrill onto the ground before throwing them at the group of BlackChops.

One of the Black arms pulls the Black Ranger out of the void by grabbing her body and holds her like a delicate doll. Once Emma's feet safely touch the ground, the red eyes on Emma's Umbreon helmet stops glowing, the black arms and dark void disappear. "They're all yours, brother."

Riku summons a purple bazooka and aims it at his opponents. "Alright, Psycho Bazooka, lock on!"

"Solar Reflector!" The Psycho Bazooka fires green energy ring at his targets. The ring surrounds the bad guys, as it focuses the power of the sun into itself, firing a powerful Solar Beam at the enemies, creating a blast that eliminates the BlackChops and BruteChoke, though both VictreeBomb and Killer-Beedrill barely survive thanks to their upgrades.

Dice faces off against DeathScyther in his new metallic body. Dice plants his Leaf Sabers into the ground. "Frenzy Vine Trap!"

A bunch of roots and vines burst out of the ground and engulfs DeathScyther, but DeathScyther cuts away the trap with his chainsaws. "You know, these chainsaws aren't so bad."

Dice grabs a loose vine and uses it as a whip at DeathScyther. The thick vine catches both of DeathScyther's chainsaws and jammed the weapons as it tried to shred the vines. "On second thought, I'd rather prefer if I have hands so that I can get rid of these vines!"

"Allow me to help you with that!" Dice dashes towards DeathScyther at high speeds, swinging his Leaf Sabers. "Leaf Blade Dance!"

Despite the attack, DeathScyther's metallic body is able to keep him from taking too much damage. "Ha! I knew it. It takes more than just your ego to beat me!"

Dice jumps back and grins under his helmet. "You're saying that my ego beat you last time we fought? If you weren't freaked out the last time we fought, maybe this time you will be."

Suddenly, Dice multiplies into seven Green Rangers surrounding DeathScyther. The General is not impressed. "You think you using Double Team to defeat me?"

The seven afterimages perform different poses to be as different as possible. "Of course, that's how fast I can move," the real Green Ranger explains. "The question you should ask yourself is can you keep up with the real me?"

The seven afterimages attack DeathScyther. The first one land a strike at DeathScyther's torso, which didn't do a thing and DeathScyther counters with a swing from one of his chainsaw arms, hitting nothing but air. The second afterimage lands a second strike at the same spot the first one hit and DeathScyther tries to do the same thing, but he didn't hit a thing. The process repeats itself until number seventh afterimage does something different. "Leaf Blade Dance!" Dice swings his Leaf Sabers at the same spot, this time causing real damage to DeathScyther.

"Gah!" DeathScyther could feel the pain from the final attack. He looks at the spot where the damage is done and sees a massive crack in his armor. "So that's it. You've been attacking the same spot over and over until a crack has appeared."

The real Dice jumps back to a safe distance away. "If you can't find a weak spot, just make your own."

ChaRaging swings his black sword at David, who blocks it with his Blazing Spears.

"Let's see how you like it against my new metallic body, Red Ranger!" A ball of black flames is shot out of ChaRaging's mouth. David quickly rolls out of the way of the dangerous projectile.

Suddenly, Julia attacks from behind by throwing her Storm Boomerang. "Take this!"

ChaRaging deflects the boomerang with his sword. "Stay out of this, Yellow Ranger!"

Julia retrieves her weapon before joining up with David.

"Why are you helping me? He's much stronger and faster than before," said David.

"That is exactly why I'm helping!" Julia swings the Storm Boomerang like a sword at ChaRaging, who parries the blow with his own sword. David sees an opening and tries to swing one of his spears at the opening, but ChaRaging grabs the spear with his free hand.

"You're dead, Red Ranger!" ChaRaging prepares to spit out another ball of Black Flames.

"Thunderbolt Punch!" Julia lands a powerful punch at ChaRaging's face, which interrupts the attack and sends ChaRaging flying into the air.

"ChaRaging's one strength and weakness is the same thing, David," Julia explains. "He knows you too well enough to the point that he completely forgets about everyone else when he fights you."

Meanwhile, explosions fly as Naomi and Claire dodge each other's attacks.

Naomi has a quick glance at the four Generals. 'It seems like these Rangers are far stronger than I had anticipated, and that's factoring in the new Indigo ranger. Time for me to give them a real taste of pain.'

Naomi kicks Claire away. "Power of the Lost Zone, Maximize!"

Individual seals surround Naomi and the fallen Generals, turning them into large Zords, lead by the Latias Zord.

Julia, Dice, David, Emma and Riku join Claire as they look up at the five Zords.

"That's not fair!" Dice screamed. "Not only can she become a Zord, those four can become Zords as well!"

"No point complaining about it now, Dice," said Julia. "It's time for a Zord battle!"

Julia and David pressed the button on their Morphers to summon their Zords. "K-Bird, unleash!"

Dice and Claire summon their Zords. "S-Dragon, unleash!"

David, Julia and Riku enter the cockpits of K-Bird Zords. "K-Bird Megazord, assemble!"

Claire, Dice and Emma are in the S-Dragon Zords. "S-Dragon Megazord, assemble!"

K-Bird Zords merge to form the K-Bird Megazord while the S-Dragon Zords merge to form the S-Dragon Megazord.

The two Megazords are facing the five Zords consisting of the Latias Zord, ChaRaging, Killer-Beedrill, VictreeBomb and DeathScyther.

"We don't know what we're up against, so don't drop your guard!" said Julia.

Everyone else acknowledges. "Right!"

"If you think you can beat us with your Megazords, think again," said Naomi. "Lost Zone Draco Megazord, assemble!"

The five Zords fly up into the air. ChaRaging's body forms the main body as VictreeBomb attaches itself to ChaRaging's left arm. DeathScyther transform into a blade which attaches itself to ChaRaging's right arm. Killer-Beedrill's body splits into two and forms a pair of legs that attach themselves to the main body. ChaRaging's chest opens up, revealing a cavity to fit the Latias Zord in the middle. The Latias Zord attaches herself into the cavity as ChaRaging's head closes the cavity and a new head appears from the Latias Zord.

"LZ-Draco Megazord, ready for battle!" ChaRaging's wings open up on the back of the LZ-Draco Megazord.

The LZ-Draco Megazord raises its cannon arm. "Green Energy Blast!" The cannon fire off a green energy blast at the two Megazords.

The S-Dragon suddenly vanishes as the K-Bird counters with a Trinity Blast, creating a small explosion. The LZ-Megazord charges through the smoke and swings its blade arm at the K-Bird Megazord, but the K-Bird Megazord pulls out its Six-Winged Shuriken and parries the blade arm of the LZ-Draco Megazord. With the cannon arm, the LZ-Draco Megazord fires off an explosive blast at close range, doing damage to the K-Bird Megazord, causing the Megazord to fall over.

"My first time co-piloting a Megazord and the first thing we have to deal with is another Megazord." Riku said. "Not exactly what I had in mind."

"Well, there's a first time for everything," said Julia. "Better now than later."

The S-Dragon Megazord suddenly reappears behind the LZ-Draco Megazord. However, Naomi has anticipated the rear attack and performs a rear kick at the S-Dragon Megazord, causing it to stagger from the blow.

"Fury Slasher!" The LZ-Draco Megazord quickly follows up with a flurry of slashes from its blade arm, doing massive damage to the S-Dragon Megazord.

"I never thought I would see the day that S-Dragon would get its tail kicked!" Dice yelled.

Emma sends a look at Dice. "What? Were you planning on relying on S-Dragon by itself to win our battles?"

Claire groans. "I guess I have no choice but to play this trump card. Everyone, prepare for a new formation!"

The S-Dragon Megazord splits itself apart as it evades a cannon blast from the LZ-Draco Megazord, catching Naomi by surprise. "What the?"

The K-Bird Megazord quickly recovers and flies up into the air. The S-Dragon Megazord's Legs attach themselves to the K-Bird Megazord's legs while the S-Dragon arms attach themselves to the K-Bird shoulders. The S-Dragon's torso merges with the back of the K-Bird, giving support to hold the extra weight. The Six-Wing Shuriken is now merged with Dialga and Palkia's wings as it attaches itself to the back of the new Megazord formation. The six Rangers are moved out of their respective solo cockpits into a larger cockpit in the head of the new Megazord.

"This has got to be the most awesome thing that has happened to this Zord since we got it," said Dice.

David nods. "I agree."

Claire grins. "Sinto Megazord, formation complete!"

The new Megazord slightly towers over the LZ-Draco Megazord.

"Impossible!" The LZ-Draco Megazord begins to fire a few energy blasts at the Sinto Megazord, but the Sinto Megazord stomps through the battlefield, barely reacting to the blasts fired from the LZ-Draco Megazord's arm cannon. The LZ-Draco Megazord swings its blade arm in a desperate attack, but the Sinto Megazord grabs the blade, and with its immense strength, the Sinto Megazord throws the LZ-Draco Megazord to the ground.

"Oh yeah!" Dice yells. "I knew we're going to pull through this!"

"Let's finish this!" ordered Julia.

The Sinto Megazord's Giratina head, Moltres body, Zapdos & Articuno arms and Dialga & Palkia shoulders begin to glow a purple, red, yellow, aqua, blue and pink aura. "Time-Space Tri-Disaster!"

The Sinto Megazord releases the six balls of energy at its opponent. The attack causes a lot of damage to the LZ-Draco Megazord that the Megazord's power disperses, causing Naomi and the four Generals to return to their original forms, falling to the ground, weakened from the battle.

The Poké Rangers exit the Sinto Megazord deal with Naomi face-to-face.

"Naomi, do you admit defeat?" Claire asks.

Naomi glares at the Blue Ranger. "I concede this loss to you today, Claire. I played my hand too early and you were able to beat it. But the next time I face you in battle, you'll be the one who will beg for mercy."

A large seal surrounds Naomi and the five Generals, enabling them to teleport away from the battlefield.

At the Mt. Silver Base of Operations, Riku is looking into the large hangar where three large Zords are simply standing there, collecting dust.

"We have three inactive Zords that are unable to do a single thing because we are lacking a few key components. What do you think you would do, Claire?"

Claire is looking up at the Zords, thinking about the dilemma they are currently in. "We need J-Beast online ASAP. The Sinto Megazord Formation is powerful, but it will be dangerous to keep using that in the long run, especially when our enemy is Naomi."

Claire turns towards the hanger exit.

"Where are you going, Claire?" asks Riku.

"I'm going to bounce around some ideas to figure out how to solve this problem."

Riku nods. "Alright, as long as the idea doesn't involve getting you kicked out of Johto."

Claire laughs as she walks through the door. "Riku, I'm offended that you're suggesting that I would do such an outrageous thing."

Once Claire is out of earshot, Riku frowns. "Knowing you, your idea will eventually lead to that."

[End of 10]

David: "So, we're going to ask for Ho-Oh and Lugia's help?"

Claire: "We're going to use the two bells as conduits to link J-Beast to the Morphing Grid."

Julia: "I'm more familiar with Lugia legends than pretty much everyone else in the room."

Riku: "I present to you the Z-Jet Mk. II."
