Moemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia

Chapter 12


"I need to find moemon…" A man in a ranger's uniform said, looking around, frowning. "Unfortunately, none are around here." The man ran back towards Vientown, looking at the different moemon. His capture styler emerged from the device on his wrist, and shot towards moemon. The styler looped around them, freezing them in place.

"Hm…" The man said, frowning. "There's no one good around here…"

"Lululu I've got black feathers~" Kurou said, smiling, walking through the field.

"Another one?" The man asked. "Alright." The man shot his styler towards Kurou, looping around her.

"Hey!" Kurou said, jumping out of the way. "What do you think you're doing? I already have a master!"

"You were able to dodge my styler?" The ranger asked, smiling. "I want you all the more!"

"What's going on here?" I exclaimed, running out of the ranger base. "Kurou, is this guy bothering you?"

"Master!" Kurou cried, running up to me, hugging me, crying. "That guy, he tried to catch me!"

"What's the big idea?" I asked angrily, looking up at him. "Why did you try to catch my Kurou?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't know she had a master." The ranger apologized. "My name is Cross. I'm a ranger."

The ranger had bright blue hair that was cut short in an elite looking way, with piercing blue eyes. He was about my height, and he had a capture styler on his wrist.

"Wait, THE Cross?" Petal asked from behind me.

"You've heard of me?" Cross asked, surprised.

"Yeah, you're an excellent Top Ranger!" Petal exclaimed. "An elite! You have excellent dexterity and control with your styler, it's excellent!"

"Yep, that's me." Cross said, smiling. "Also, I should introduce you to my partner moemon!"

"Really?" I asked, looking around. "Where is she?"

"Right here." Cross said, picking up the capture disk. The disk began glowing, and a moemon emerged from it, smiling. She had dark blue hair down to their shoulders, and wore a light blue dress with dark blue trim, as well as fox ears and blue eyes, and a flat dark blue snowcap with extensions and a flat blue tail.

"Hello." The moemon said, smiling. "I'm a Glaceon, but you can just call me Glacia."

"Hi, Glacia!" Petal said, smiling. "You've got a famous master, you know that?"

"Oh, yes." Glacia said, smiling sweetly. "He climbed all the way up to a frozen mountain to find me, and I fell for him right away."

"You don't need to tell them that." Cross said, face palming.

"Alright, so, Cross, can I please see some of your excellent disk work?" Petal asked.

"I guess so." Cross said, placing the disk back into his styler. "Um, let's see…"

Cross looked around for a while, before he saw a group of five Starly flying through the air.

"See those Starly?" Cross asked, smiling. "I bet I can catch them all without breaking a single line!"

"Master, do you want my help?" Glacia asked, blushing.

"No, that's okay." Cross said, smiling. "I can do this myself. Capture Styler, go!"

The disk on Cross' capture styler shot out, arcing towards the Starly. It looped around a single Starly and continued, looping around each of them in turn. The disk, when it finished its' movements, returned to Cross. The five Starly flew down, landing next to Cross in a straight line, waiting for his orders.

"Whoa, how'd you do that?" I asked, amazed. "That was awesome!"

"Well, you know how most people do group captures?" Cross asked. "It's very simple. See, they create one big loop to loop around all the moemon, but that will cause them to separate from each other. But if you catch them one at a time by intertwining each of the loops, then you can capture all of them in a single shot, in the span of less than thirty seconds."

"Wow!" Petal said, excited. "Can you teach me? Please? I don't have a partner moemon, so I really need to know how to handle my styler well! C'mon, teach me! Teach me!"

"Sorry, but it's not something I can just teach you." Cross said, frowning. "You have to try it by yourself."

"Alright!" Petal said, saluting. "Yes, sir! I'll see what I can do by myself!"

"So, why'd you want me, anyway?" Kurou asked. "And why did you freeze all those moemon?"

"Because I need to find strong moemon partners to help me defeat Team Dim Sun." Cross said, frowning. "And I can tell you're really strong."

"Well, you're right!" Kurou said, smiling. "Kurou's really strong!"

"There he is!" A voice shouted. Suddenly, two men in strange black clothes emerged from the forest, panting. "That's the guy who saw our new weapon!"

The two men opened up their briefcases and began typing something into the keyboards, which was odd, since briefcases shouldn't have keyboards.

"Carnvine, go!" The men shouted, three Carnivine emerging out of nowhere. They wore a yellow shirt over a frilly green and red skirt, with green hair down to their shoulders and red eyes. Very, very horny red eyes.

"Alright, Glacia, let's do this!" Cross shouted. "Glacia, into the capture styler!" Glacia transformed into light which enveloped the capture disk. The disk shot forwards at the three Carnivine, however, instead of a light trail behind it, the disk left a path of ice. The line looped around the Carnivine one at a time, maneuvering between the three of them. It then began freezing them solid, covering them in a veil of ice. The styler disk continued to loop, and soon enough the three moemon were captured. The ice around them shattered, and they flew into the air, running away in fear.

"That's strange…" Petal said, frowning. "You caught them perfectly, and yet you still couldn't express your feelings and have them join you…"

"What's going on?" Cross asked angrily. However, the two guys in black had already run away in fear as well.

"So, Team Dim Sun found some way to control moemon…" Cross said, frowning. "I'd better tell Hastings about this… Something's definitely wrong…"


So, what's going on?
