Dream?
Anubias, Horridian, Sellon, Spyron, Dan, Drago, Ash, and Pikachu were now ready to brawl. Ranee watched. Anubias went first.
Anubias called out, "Ability activate! Deadly Nightmare!"
Horridian's mouth glowed a purple color. Two balls of energy came out as well as a single energy beam and headed straight for Drago.
Dan quickly reacted and said, "Ability activate! Titanium Hummer!"
Drago let out a mighty roar and started to glow red. It flew up and out of the way of Deadly Nightmare and towards Horridian.
Sellon reacted and said, "Ability activate! Myosin Vital!"
Spyron glowed a green light and a big green energy went towards Drago.
Ash quickly reacted and said, "Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
"Pi...ka...CHU," said the electric mouse Pokémon as it shocked Myosin Vital and Spyron.
"Spyron," Sellon shouted.
Spyron was still standing but it was obliviously shaken.
Dan turned to his cousin and stated, "Hey, thanks, Ash."
"Thank Pikachu," Ash told Dan.
Dan smiled. 'Typical Ash,' Dan thought, this was going on, Titanium Hummer struck Horridian with great force. It didn't knock out the Darkus Bakugan but like its Ventus partner, it was obliviously shaken.
Ranee whispered, "I don't like this. Those attacks look like they did nothing at all."
"They did," Dan reassured, "But the power levels weren't high enough to knock them out."
"Ability activate," said Anubias, "Tribal Crusher!"
Horridian howled as its body glowed purple and went towards Pikachu.
Dan quickly reacted and said, "Ability activate! Titanium Shield!"
Drago's hands glowed red and a red shield came up and over himself and Pikachu.
"Pika," Pika said, thanking Drago.
"No problem," Drago stated.
"Yeah," Ash said, "Thanks, Dan."
"Thank Drago," Dan insisted.
Ash smiled. 'Typical Dan,' Ash thought, happily.
Sellon said, "Ability activate! Ancient Levity!"
Spyron glowed green and headed straight for Drago and Pikachu, shattering the Titanium Shield!
"Oh snap," Dan said.
Before Dan or Ash could try and react, a Flamethrower came out of nowhere and knocked Spyron away from them.
"Where did that come from," Sellon demanded.
That's when Sellon and Anubias saw a fire monkey on the field.
"Kusco has another Pyrus Bakugan," Anubias asked, kind of surprised.
Dan stated, confused, "But, I don't have another Pyrus Bakugan. Drago is my only one!"
Ash, on the other hand, was smiling. Ash turned and they all saw that Ranee had joined in on the brawl/battle.
"The girl," Sellon said, coldly, "Why I am not surprised?"
"Sorry," Ranee stated, talking smack, "I couldn't let the bad guys win, you know."
"Infernape," said the fire monkey, Infernape.
Ranee winked at her Pokémon and said, "Nice shooting, Infernape."
Dan stated, smiling, "That is so wicked cool!"
Ash nagged, jokingly, "But, I thought I told you to stand-by."
Ranee put her hands behind her head and defended, winking a bit, "I couldn't let you have all of the fun."
Ash smiled at her as he turned to Pikachu and asked, "What do you say we finish this up?"
"Pika pika," said Pikachu.
"Sounds good to me," said Drago, roaring a bit.
"And me, pal," said Dan, "Let's do this!"
"We are in too," said Ranee.
"Infernape," said Infernape.
Ash ordered, "Pikachu, Volt Tackle!"
Dan said, "Ability activate! Dragon Heart Striker!"
Ranee ordered, "Infernape, Flare Blitz!"
Drago roared and headed towards Spyron and Horridian. Pikachu and Infernape were right behind Drago. Pikachu was charging at Spyron and Horridian with its electricity around its body. Infernape did the same only it wasn't electricity, it was fire. All three attacks hit the Ventus and Darkus Bakugan and knocked them out. Time went back to normal.
Sellon said, surprised, "D-defeated. Us..."
Anubias snarled and said, "You got lucky Kusco but next time you won't have your cousin and his friend helping you."
Sellon and Anubias disappeared in a flash and a bright light surround the brawler and the two Pokémon trainers.
Bakugan World
Dan woke up instantly and saw that Drago was next to him, in ball form.
"Drago," Dan said, still kind of out.
Drago groaned as he popped open.
"What was that," Drago asked.
Runo was outside of the room and she heard their voices.
She rushed in and gushed, "Oh Dan! I'm so glad that you're awake!"
Runo started kissing her boyfriend all over his face.
"How long were we out," Dan asked his girlfriend.
"Almost the whole day," Tigerra reported.
Dan and Drago were surprised by this. But, then again...Ranee said the same thing in the dream.
"Dan," Drago asked, "What happened to us? What was that dream?"
"Drago, pal," Dan answered, "I'm not sure if that WAS a dream."
"If it wasn't a dream," Drago now asked, "Then...what WAS it?"
"I'm not sure, pal," Dan answered, truthfully, "I'm not sure."
Runo and Tigerra exchanged worried glances. Something was just NOT right...
Pokémon World
Ash woke up instantly and saw that Pikachu and Ranee were next to him. Strangely enough, so was Ranee's Infernape.
"Pikachu," Ash said, still kind of out, "Ranee and Infernape."
Ranee groaned as she woke up as did Pikachu and Infernape.
"Pika," Pikachu asked, confused.
"Infernape," Infernape added, just as confused as Pikachu.
Ranee asked, rubbing her head, "What was that...?"
Misty was outside of the room and she heard their voices.
She rushed in and gushed, "Oh Ash! I'm so glad that you're awake!"
Misty started kissing her boyfriend all over his face as Paul came in and held his girlfriend.
"How long were we out," Ranee asked her boyfriend.
"Almost the whole day with Ash and Pikachu," Misty reported.
"And for you, about four hours," Paul added.
Ash and Pikachu were surprised by this. But, then again...Ranee said the same thing in the dream. Paul saw Ranee's Infernape out.
He asked, confused, "What happened? Why is Infernape out of its poke ball?"
"It's a long story," Ranee confessed. Ranee turned to Ash and asked, "Ash, what happened to us? And what was that dream?"
Ash answered, "I'm not sure it that WAS a dream."
"If it wasn't a dream," Ranee asked, "Then...what WAS it?"
"Pika pika," Pikachu said.
"Infern," said Infernape.
"I'm not sure, Ranee," Ash answered, "I'm not sure."
Misty and Paul exchanged worried glances. Something was just NOT right...
An Unknown Point
B.M. and P.M. saw Sellon and Anubias' defeat. They were not expecting Ranee to drop into Ash's dream nor to help save Drago and Pikachu.
B.M. barked to Sellon, "Find out more about this Ranee Katina. And capture some Pokémon while you are at it! Strong ones you know would defeat her along with Ash Ketchum."
Sellon nodded and responded, "As you wish."
P.M. barked to Anubias, "As for you, keep an eye on Dan Kusco. Make sure that his aura doesn't come in contact with Ash's again!"
"Yes sir," said Anubias.
With that, both feeds went dead and both masters were snarling at this whole development. Just who was Ranee Katina and why was she able to enter the aura connected dream? Did she have aura or was it just by plain luck that she was able to enter? They didn't know nor did they care. All they knew was that Kusco and Ketchum's blood was going to be spilled and if anyone got in the way again they would suffer the same fate...
