Previously on Poké Rangers: Knights of Order:
During their stay in Camphrier Town, the Knights got a rude awakening when a Snorlax came to the bridge on Route 7. Seeing an opportunity for conquest, Yvestros captured the Snorlax and had Sabelteur transform it into Sharnalax, a monster that can trap her victims in a world of nightmares. When the Knights came to the bridge, Sharnalax proved too tough for them and soon they were put to sleep and enslaved in their respective nightmares. Gurkinn, unable to contact them, came out to rescue them, only to get beaten up by Sharnalax and caught in her Yawn...
Chapter 9: Knightmare on Route 7, Part Two
Struggling to stay awake a little longer, Gurkinn forced his hand up and pressed the communicator button on his Morpher. "Lucario... I'm in trouble... Activate the... emergency team recall protocols... on the Transportation Door..."
"Lucario, lucar, lucar!" Lucario shouted.
"I know we... haven't tested it yet," Gurkinn yawned. "But it's... our... only... chance..."
"I don't know what you're up to, Knight," Sharnalax shouted. "But it's already too late. Now it's time to put you into a nightmare from which you can never wake from!"
As Gurkinn's vision began to fade, he saw Sharnalax grabbing a handful of mist from the cloud that surrounded her. Then he felt himself falling into nothing...
"Lucario! Lucario!"
Hearing his partner's voice, Gurkinn slowly opened his eyes. He found himself lying on the floor of the Knights' Base, Lucario standing over him with a look of concern.
Carefully, Gurkinn got to his feet and looked around. "Lucario, I need you to do something for me. Use Force Palm on me and don't hold back."
"Lucar?" Lucario asked.
"I just want to be sure that this isn't Sharnalax's dream," Gurkinn explained. "So go ahead, strike me."
Lucario hesitated for a second then he raised his paw and smacked Gurkinn in the chest, sending him flying back against one of the PokeZords' garages.
"Ow!" Gurkinn grunted, peeling himself off the door. "Alright, that proves it. I'm not dreaming."
"Lucar, lucar!" Lucario cried, running to his side.
"It's okay, old friend," Gurkinn reassured him. "My armor protected me from harm. And thanks to your quick actions, I was spared the terrible fate that befell my friends."
He walked over to the other Knights who were still asleep and still covered in purple mist. "Whatever Sharnalax has done to them, we have to free them. Otherwise our whole mission will be for nothing."
"Lucario?" asked Lucario.
"I don't know how," Gurkinn admitted. "But I think we're gonna need some help." He picked up his HoloCaster and dialled a number.
After a few rings, the screen lit up and Clemont appeared. "Yes, hello?"
"Clemont, this is Gurkinn. I need your help. Are you alone?"
"Not really," Clemont admitted. "I have a visitor at the moment and she's rather anxious for a battle with me."
"Who are you talking to?" came a female voice offscreen.
"Just a friend," Clemont called.
"Which friend?" the voice asked again, as its owner came into view.
Gurkinn gasped as he saw who it was. "Clemont, bring her along too!"
"Damn them all!" Yvestros snapped, slamming his fist on the armrest of his throne. "We were so close to defeating the Knights once and for all!"
"Forgive me, my Lord," said Sharnalax, bowing her head in shame on the screen. "I have failed you."
"It hardly matters anyway," said Sabelteur, having woken up from his nap. "The Knights are still trapped in their nightmares, and nothing their leader can do will wake them up!"
"And with them out of the way, we can still conquer Kalos," Sharphound went on.
"That's brilliant thinking," Yvestros agreed. "Sharnalax, head into Camphrier Town and put all of their citizens to sleep. Then we can take their life force and use it to create an army that will overrun the region!"
"At once, my Lord," Sharnalax replied.
Gurkinn watched as Clemont stepped out of the Transportation Door, followed by a young brown-haired woman wearing a pretty white dress with wings on the shoulders and a small gold necklace that had a glowing stone set in it. Behind her came a Gardevoir that also wore a necklace with a stone in it.
"Hello, Gurkinn," the woman said with a warm smile. "It's been a long time, huh?"
"It certainly has, Diantha," Gurkinn replied, shaking her hand. "So good to see you again."
"You too," Diantha chuckled. "So Clemont tells me that you're responsible for the reappearance of the Knights of Order?"
"Yes, I am. And right now, I need your help to save them."
Gurkinn led Clemont and Diantha to the row of beds where Tristan, Rafi, Marianne, Quinn, and Electra lay tossing and turning in their restless sleep.
"Oh no!" Clemont gasped. "What's happened to them?"
"They've been put under a spell by one of Yvestros' monsters," Gurkinn explained. "Now they're trapped in terrible nightmares."
"So why did you call me here?" Diantha asked.
"I thought that perhaps your Gardevoir could help me save them," Gurkinn replied. "With her psychic attacks, she could remove the mist that surrounds my friends and seal it away until it fades."
"That would be quite difficult." Clemont examined the Knights with a scanner from his backpack. "For the attack to work, the Knights would need to be awake or at least semi-conscious, otherwise the attack could severely damage their minds."
"But how?" Diantha asked. "We don't have anything that could rouse them from their nightmares."
"Wait a minute," Gurkinn cried. "Before they were knocked out, Tristan mentioned something about them trying to wake up a Snorlax. And the only way they could do that is..." He patted Tristan's pocket then reached in and pulled out the Poké Flute. "With this!"
"Yes, the Poké Flute!" Clemont cheered. "It can wake anybody from their sleep!"
"Then this is our only chance," Gurkinn said. "Meanwhile, Clemont, I want you to work your science magic. You'll need to boost the power of their Blasters and make their helmets impervious to Sharnalax's Yawn."
"The helmets can come off?" Clemont asked.
"Yes, they can." Gurkinn grabbed his own helmet, gently twisted it to one side and then took it off. "Now you do the same to the others."
As Clemont went to do his part, Gurkinn picked up the Poké Flute. "You ready, Diantha?"
"Do it!" Diantha replied.
"Gardevoir," said her partner.
With that, Gurkinn placed the Poké Flute to his lips and began to play...
Tristan pulled and strained as hard as he could, but trapped in the legs of the monstrous Ninjask, he was barely able to move. "Get off of me!" he yelled.
The Ninjask gave another horrible screech and raised its claws, ready to slice Tristan up...
Just then, there came a soft whistling melody that drowned out the Ninjask's cries. Tristan opened his eyes and watched as the Ninjask released its grip and floated up into the air, mesmerised by the haunting melody. Then a bright light shone out over the Ninjask, causing it to burst into a cloud of mist and disappear.
"Whoa," Tristan breathed, getting to his feet. He looked round and saw the light was coming from a doorway. "I guess I'd better follow the light."
He stepped up to the door and walked into the brightness...
Rafi pushed the black creature off him and tried to run for it, but the creature was already on him and it pounced on him, pinning him to the floor and knocking his glasses off his face.
"Leave me alone!" Rafi shouted, trying to get back up.
The creature snarled nastily as it bared its teeth...
Suddenly, a gentle tune caused the creature to look round, just as a beam of light shot out and struck it, evaporating it in the blink of an eye.
Getting up on his hands and knees, Rafi felt around on the floor until he found his glasses. Putting them on, he turned and saw a glowing door standing in the darkness.
"Go towards the light, Raphael," his mother's voice called out. "It will guide you to safety."
"Will I ever see you again, Mom?" Rafi asked.
"I'm afraid not, my son," she replied sadly. "But I'll always be with you, as long as you never forget me."
Wiping a tear from his eye, Rafi turned and walked into the door...
Electra screamed as she flailed around, trying to escape the cloud that held her. But she was unable to break free.
"Get me out of here!" she yelled. "I can't stand the darkness!"
The cloud gave a nasty laugh. But then a soothing tune cut over the laughter and a bright light pierced through the darkness, stabbing through the cloud and making it pop.
Electra crashed to the floor then got up and looked around, seeing the light shining through a door in the wall by the switch.
"Phew, thank Arceus for that," she sighed. "Time to get out of this nightmare."
With that, she ran through the door...
Quinn bashed into the cage again and again, but the bars showed no sign of giving. The Galactic agents watched him with mild amusement. "My, my," one agent laughed. "That Treecko sure is persistent, isn't he?"
"I've told you before, I'm not a Treecko!" Quinn yelled. "I'm a human. Now let me go!"
But the agents still didn't understand him. "Come on," said the second agent. "We've had our fun. Now let's put him with the rest."
"No!" Quinn gasped as the men approached the cage.
At that moment, a soft gentle melody started to play from out of the trees. The agents whirled around in confusion. "What's that?" the third man asked.
In response, the clouds parted and a huge beam of light shone down over the clearing. The three agents gave screams of agony as the light hit them and then they burst into little clouds of mist.
Before Quinn could say a word, the cage around him faded away and he stood up, his body tingling with the light. He then looked down and saw that he was back in his original body. "Phew, thank goodness."
He looked up and saw a doorway appearing in the trunk of a tree. "I hope this is the way out of this place. Only one way to be sure."
He walked up to the tree and stepped through the door...
Marianne tried to pull herself free, but the quicksand was now up to her neck and it was getting harder to breathe. "Help!" she called out again. "Someone, get me out of here!"
At that moment, she heard a gentle melody playing and then a beam of light shone down on her. Suddenly, the sand started to trickle away from her until she could stand up and walk away.
Looking around, Marianne saw a doorway standing in the same spot that the oasis was moments ago. "Something tells me that this isn't a mirage. Time to leave this awful place."
So saying, she ran through the door...
As Gurkinn kept playing the Poké Flute, Diantha watched at the amazing effect it had on the Knights. One by one, they stopped tossing and turning and were settling into a peaceful sleep. As they did, the mist started to twist around and sweep off their bodies like someone had pulled a blanket off them.
"It's working!" she gasped.
The five clouds of mist rose up into the air and curled around each other, forming into a larger cloud that hovered overhead.
"Gardevoir, Psychic!" Diantha ordered.
Focusing her power, Gardevoir's eyes began to glow. A large blue light formed around the purple cloud, making it freeze in midair. The cloud strained and struggled like a Gastly in pain as it slowly flickered and then faded away.
"Gurkinn, we did it!" Diantha cheered.
Lowering the Flute, Gurkinn nodded and smiled. "Let's hope it was enough."
Back at Camphrier Town, the residents were going about their business for the day. Some of the visitors were sitting outside the cafe, enjoying their drinks and light snacks. Others were walking around the streets, embracing the history of the little town.
Suddenly, the ground started to shake as something large stomped towards the town. Cups of coffee jumped an inch in the air, their contents rippling. The people turned and saw a purple Snorlax with a Musharna head lumbering down the road. With screams of terror, they started to run. Some ran to the Pokémon Center, some ran towards Shabboneau Castle and others just hid behind the fountain.
"That's right, try to run," the monster chuckled. "But you can never hide from Sharnalax!" With that, she let out a loud Yawn that swept through the town.
Some of the people were too far to get affected, but the unlucky ones soon fell to the ground, fast asleep.
"Time to feast on your dreams!" Sharnalax grabbed handfuls of mist and threw it out, covering the sleeping people...
Within a few minutes, Tristan was the first to awaken. Letting out a groan, he sat up and opened his eyes, blinking at the light.
"Tristan, you're awake!" Gurkinn cried, running to his side. "How do you feel?"
"Awful," Tristan croaked. "And a little bit thirsty."
"I'll get you some water," Gurkinn said, running out of the Base.
By the time he returned with five cups of water, the other Knights were also waking up. Gurkinn handed them each a cup and they took careful sips, except for Marianne who drank greedily and then asked for another.
"You should go slowly with your drink," Gurkinn warned. "You might choke on it."
"I was trapped in a desert in my dream," Marianne replied. "You can't blame me for feeling parched."
"It can't be worse than having millions of Nincada crawling all over you," Tristan argued.
"Or being in a dark room with a nasty laughing cloud," Electra added.
"Or getting turned into a Treecko and thrown in a cage," Quinn went on. "What was your dream, Rafi?"
"I'd rather not talk about it," Rafi muttered.
"Are we back at base?" Tristan realised. "How did we get here?"
"Lucario and I managed to pull you away from Sharnalax," Gurkinn replied, coming up with another cup for Marianne. "And lucky I did. Another few minutes in there, and your spirits would have been completely broken and Sharnalax would have had your life force as a midnight snack."
Tristan then spotted a young woman and a Gardevoir standing by the screen, next to a young blonde boy who was working on their Blasters. "Hey, who are those guys?"
"That would be Diantha, the Champion of Kalos," Gurkinn replied, pointing her out. "She and her Gardevoir helped me to free you from Sharnalax's mist. And the young man is Clemont, the Gym Leader of Lumiose City. He's the one who built this Base, the Morphers and the PokéZords."
Diantha turned and saw the Knights. "Oh, you're awake!" she beamed, walking over to them. "Under better circumstances, it would be nice to see you. I am Diantha."
"Uh, hi," Tristan said. "My name's-"
"Oh I already know your names," Diantha interrupted. "Gurkinn told me everything about you and your fight against Yvestros. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
"Clemont, are you nearly done there?" Gurkinn called.
"The Blasters are done, and I'm nearly done with the helmets," Clemont replied. "Just give me a couple more minutes."
"I didn't know our helmets could come off," Electra said.
"What is he up to?" Marianne asked.
"He's increased the power of your Blasters to get through Sharnalax's Harden," Gurkinn explained. "And he's adding a special feature in your helmets that should neutralise the effects of her Yawn."
"You want us to go back out there?" Rafi cried.
"Of course," Gurkinn replied. "Right now, Sharnalax has arrived at Camphrier Town and has already started her attack."
"And what chance do we have against her?" Tristan cried. "She's much stronger than all the other monsters we've faced before. If we fight her, she'll put us back in our nightmares again. I don't think we're cut out for this anymore."
"Now that's no way to talk!" Diantha snapped, folding her arms.
The Knights were stunned by her sudden change of mood. "Huh?" Tristan asked.
"The way Gurkinn talked about you, I assumed you were great heroes," Diantha went on. "But you're just gonna quit when things get tough?"
"In case you didn't realize, we just got our butts kicked by that monster," Marianne argued.
"So kick it back!" Diantha stood in front of their beds. "Think of this fight as a proper Pokémon battle. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose But when you do lose, that's when you train yourself harder to do better next time. If everyone just quit after they've failed over and over again, there would never be any Champions in the world. I never won the Pokemon League on my first go, or the next go, or the one after that. The only reason I won was that I kept training myself and my Pokemon hard enough to get that far. Likewise, you need to get back on your feet and battle the monster again because, this time, I'm sure you can beat her!"
For a few moments, the Knights were silent, swapping looks with each other as they mulled over Diantha's words. Then Tristan smiled and jumped off his bed. "You're right, Diantha. I think I speak for all of us when I say, we're not gonna quit now. As soon as Clemont is ready, we're gonna face Sharnalax again and finish her off!"
"I've just finished your helmets now," Clemont announced. "You're all set to go."
Tristan snatched up his helmet and put it back on. "Then let's end this nightmare, once and for all!"
Soon most of the town was fast asleep. Some of the people were already writhing in their sleep, trapped in the nightmares caused by the mist. Sharnalax approached one man and drew in her breath, sucking up the purple mist like foggy spaghetti. "Mmm, such delicious dreams," she murmured. "I'm going to make such a wonderful meal of all these people's fears..."
"Then it looks like you should go on a diet!"
Sharnalax turned around and saw the five Knights of Order standing in the street, Elemental Blasters at the ready.
"You again!" she bellowed. "How did you escape from my Nightmare mist?"
"We had a very good alarm clock," Tristan replied.
"And now that we're well rested, we have enough energy to take you on!" Electra snapped.
"Then I guess I'd better wear you down again," Sharnalax scowled. "Come at me!"
Tristan and Quinn charged in, jumped on Sharnalax's belly and delivered a double punch to her face. As she swung her arm out, the two Knights leapt back, avoiding the blow.
"Catch me if you can!" Electra yelled, running towards Sharnalax.
The Poké-Mutant tried to grab her, but her tremendous bulk made it hard to move fast. Dodging a swing, Electra kicked at Sharnalax's foot, making her stumble. Marianne and Rafi then shoved her over, making her fall on her face.
"Enough of this!" Sharnalax snapped, getting to her feet. "It's time I put you to bed, PERMANENTLY!" She took in her deepest breath and let out a very loud Yawn.
Just before the Yawn hit, Tristan suddenly felt all sound getting cut out. It lasted for a few seconds and then it was normal again. Looking round, he saw his friends were still standing too.
"What...?" Sharnalax gasped. "You were supposed to fall asleep!"
"Like we said, we weren't feeling tired," Quinn retorted.
"Now let's finish her off!" Marianne cried, raising her Blaster.
"Your guns will never penetrate my Hardened skin!" Sharnalax snapped, her body shimmering once again.
Undaunted, Rafi lifted his gun and fired a shot at her. As the Air Cutter struck her, there was a loud shattering noise and Sharnalax gave a painful cry. "Noooo! Impossible!"
"Give it all you've got, guys!" Tristan yelled, firing his gun too.
Quinn, Electra and Marianne also opened fire. Bit by bit, the Harden shell was broken down until at last, they landed a hit on Sharnalax, hurting her badly.
"Guys, I've added an extra little feature in your Blasters," Clemont called through their communicators. "When fired together, it should give them a powerful boost to finish Sharnalax off. Just press the little button on the handle."
"Let's give it a try." Tristan held his button down and felt the power surging through his Blaster. "Overheat!"
"Aeroblast!"
"Water Spout!"
"Solar Beam!"
"Zap Cannon!"
The Rangers pulled the triggers and five powerful elemental beams shot out of the Blasters, fusing together to create a huge surge of energy.
"Ultimate Elemental Blast!" the Knights yelled.
The energy beam struck Sharnalax fully in the face and she let out a scream louder than her Yawns as she fell to the ground and exploded.
All around the city, the purple mist pulled away from the people and faded into thin air. Everyone began to wake up and look around in confusion.
"NOOOOO!" Yvestros bellowed. "This cannot be!"
"I'm on it, my Lord!" Mothitelle cried, fading away.
"Well, that's the end of that ordeal," Tristan sighed.
"Do you really think so?" Mothitelle suddenly appeared in the air over Sharnalax's remains. "I'm afraid that this nightmare is only just beginning. Power Spore!"
Mothitelle flapped her wings hard and scattered her spores over Sharnalax, making her stand up as she grew bigger and bigger.
The people who were awake screamed in terror and ran into the buildings.
"Just when we were ready to rest," Tristan grumbled, pressing the Morpher's summon button. "Release the PokéZords!"
At the Ranger's Base, Clemont and Diantha gasped in amazement as the PokéZords switched on and stomped out of their garages.
"Incredible!" Diantha cried.
"Just look at them!" Clemont breathed, elated tears running down his cheeks. "My beautiful creations going into battle!"
With a smile, Gurkinn activated the Transportation Door and stepped back, letting the PokéZords charge through to their owners.
As the PokéZords emerged from the Door, they shot out a beam of light, transporting their respective Rangers into their cockpits.
"Ready for battle!" Tristan cried.
"You think those toys will be enough to stop me?" Sharnalax laughed. "Well, I have a few tricks up my sleeve too." So saying, she stuck her hands in the mist and swept them out, sending the cloud out.
As the Knights watched, four figures emerged from the cloud; a giant Ninjask, a black skeletal creature, a cloud with glowing eyes and a Team Galactic agent with an obscured face.
"Oh no!" Tristan gasped. "It's our nightmares come to life!"
"That's right," Sharnalax taunted. "Since they can't destroy you in your dreams, they can take you down in the real world!"
"Wait a minute," Marianne said. "Where's my dream?" At that moment, she suddenly felt her Blastoise Zord starting to sink. "I had to ask, didn't I?"
"Hang on, Marianne," Rafi called. "I'm on my way!"
The Pidgeot Zord took to the air and flew towards the sinking Blastoise Zord. Just as it opened its claws, the Ninjask flew up between them and swung its claws out, striking the Pidgeot Zord.
"Hey, leave him alone!" Electra yelled, hitting some buttons on her panel. "Thunderbolt!"
The horns on the Ampharos Zord started to glow then it fired a bolt of lightning out of the jewel on its head, striking the Ninjask and blasting it into dust.
"Thanks, Electra!" Rafi called, flying over to pull the Blastoise Zord out of the quicksand.
Before Electra could reply, the cloud floated over to her, laughing menacingly, and consumed her. "No, get off me!" she screamed.
"I'm coming, Electra!" Tristan yelled, bringing his Zord over to grab the Ampharos Zord's tail and pulling as hard as he could. "This cloud is tougher than I thought!"
"Let me help!" Rafi flew his Zord over and pressed some buttons. "Whirlwind!"
The Pidgeot Zord began to flap its wings hard, creating a powerful gust of wind that blew the cloud away, freeing Electra.
Quinn meanwhile was struggling with the black creature, holding its claws away from the Sceptile Zord's face. Then the agent grabbed him from behind, pulling him back. "I could use some help here, guys!"
"On our way, Quinn!" Tristan shouted.
As he brought his Zord forward, Sharnalax charged in front of him, blocking the way. "Don't think so, Fire Knight!"
"Rock Smash!" Tristan swung the Zord's fist out, striking Sharnalax in the face. With a scowl, she threw herself forward, slamming the Blaziken Zord with her belly.
"Stay back!" Marianne yelled, bringing her Zord forward. "Skull Bash!"
Lowering its head, the Blastoise Zord charged in, bashing Sharnalax back. While she was distracted, Rafi and Electra brought their Zords over to Quinn.
"Sky Drop!" Rafi's Zord flew overhead, snatching the agent away and flinging it into the lake, taking it out. Then Electra got her Zord to pull the creature off Quinn who defeated it with a swing of his Zord's tail.
"It's time to end this battle!" Tristan slammed his hand on the red button, knowing the others were doing the same. "Megazord of Justice transformation, activate!"
Each PokéZord flashed white as the command was issued. First, the Blaziken Zord jumped into the air, its arms folding back into its body. At the same time, the Blastoise Zord withdrew its head and limbs into its shell, which opened up on the front and fused over the Blaziken Zord's body, creating the main torso.
Next, the Sceptile and Ampharos Zords lay down on their stomachs and folded in their limbs and tails as they straightened up, the heads resting on their chests. The bottom half joined onto the main torso, forming the legs.
Then, the Pidgeot Zord took to the air, its head and tail folding into its body which then split in half. Each half then joined to either side of the torso upside down, so that the legs formed the arms, while the wings folded over the front of the torso. The completed MegaZord landed on the ground, the Blaziken's beak opening up to reveal a more humanoid face.
"Megazord of Justice, ready!" the Knights yelled in the main cockpit as the robot raised its arms.
Sharnalax stomped over and swung her fist out, striking the Megazord and sending it stumbling back.
"Air Cutter!" Rafi yelled, pushing his joystick out.
The Megazord raised its arms and swung them down, bashing Sharnalax in the chest.
"Mega Sword, engage!" Tristan yelled.
The MegaZord held out its hands as the sword appeared.
"Say goodnight, Sharnalax!" Tristan cried, throwing his stick out. "Order Slash!"
The sword began to glow and the Megazord swung it out, slicing through Sharnalax. With a painful scream, she fell to the ground and exploded once again.
"And don't let the Nincada bite," Marianne finished triumphantly.
"A thousand curses on those Knights of Order!" Yvestros yelled. "Why can't they just lie down and die?!"
"Do not fret, my Lord," Mothitelle cut in. "We still have time to prepare our backup plan." With that, she held up the Dragon medallion. "Remember?"
Yvestros nodded, rubbing his head slightly. "Can you tell me later? I have a very bad headache at the moment."
"Well, I guess we'd better head back to Lumiose City," Diantha decided. "We've got a battle to do, right, Clemont?"
"Right," Clemont agreed. "I'll go prepare the Transportation Door."
As Clemont went to the Door controls, Gurkinn approached Diantha. "Thank you again for all your help. Saving my friends from their nightmares was one thing, but rallying them together was truly spectacular."
"I just hate to see such hopeful trainers throw away their lives like that," Diantha replied. "Are they taking on the Pokémon League soon?"
"Some of them are," Gurkinn said. "Quinn's a Pokémon Ranger. Tristan and Rafi each have one badge, while Electra and Marianne already have five."
"Yeah, they battled me a few days before Yvestros' first invasion," Clemont recalled. "Anyway, the Door's ready for us."
"Take care of those guys," Diantha said, shaking Gurkinn's hand. "And tell them that I look forward to battling them."
"Gardevoir," said Gardevoir.
"Will do," Gurkinn replied.
"Lucario," said Lucario.
With that, Diantha, Gardevoir and Clemont stepped through the door and disappeared.
Gurkinn turned to look at the screen, seeing the Knights coming out of Shabboneau Castle, having returned the Poké Flute. "Whatever happens, my friends, I know you will stay strong together..."
And we're finished here. There's no preview for the next chapter, but I will say that it will take place at the Battle Chateau and will feature the appearance of a few new faces for the series.
Anyway, as usual, I'm still open for cool monster suggestions. And also, thank you so much for your reviews, they really help.
See you next time
