Episode 12: Splash in the Pan
"I hate freaking Magikarp!" a voice yelled down the hallway one Wednesday afternoon. Frank and Jack ran to the origin of the scream, where Nick was calming down Aly. "Freaking fish…freaking useless fish…I wish it would just leave the Pokémon world all together, that way we wouldn't have to deal with it or its evolution!"
"What's wrong with Gyarados?" Frank asked. "What'd a Gyarados ever do to you?" Aly shook her head in disgust. "Do I even want to know?"
"The fact that you can't beat them with a Venusaur makes them triply annoying," Aly stated. "I mean, they were okay in Yellow, very easy to beat with your little Pikachu rat, but that's about it." Aly stopped and said, "And there's another Pokémon I can't stand in the game, Pikachu! And it's even more annoying in the anime because it's always there!"
"Calm yourself, Alyssa," Nick said sternly. "This is not something to get worked up about. You're a Ranger, you're supposed to protect Pokémon and Tokyo, even though some of them may annoy you to no end."
"You're lucky I love you so much, Nicholas," Aly snapped right back, "because if I didn't, I'd go ahead and slap you right here, right now."
"Whoa, we don't want violence in the ranks, so I'll just be…leaving," Jack said before running out of the room quickly. Frank followed him at a less rapid pace, leaving Anthony in the hallway wondering about things. Jack filled him in and said, "Just a tip, don't go in there for a few minutes, at least until Aly calms herself and Nick leaves the room."
Anthony didn't follow Jack's advice and knocked on the door before entering. "Aly, Nick, what's with the yelling? I just came to tell Aly that we have a situation, but then I hear her yelling about hating Magikarp," Anthony stated. "Aly, if you hate the Magikarp so much, now is your chance to fight one off! A Magikarp monster is attacking the park. Green Dimension Warrior, Transform!" He morphed in front of Aly and Nick.
"Sorry, Nick, I owe you," Aly said. Nick nodded to her silently. "Blue Dimension Warrior, Transform!" She ran off in uniform to the park.
The humanoid Magikarp wailed as he cast his weaker spells around the abandoned park, causing swings to flip over the bar and walls to pop up at the end of the slides. "WAHAHAHAH! NO ONE CAN STOP THE FIEND MAGICIAN, MAGIWIZARD!" he shrieked as a bench turned in to a Swampert. "FEAR MY MIGHTY WAND!"
"Hey, scales-for-brains! If you're going to cause chaos, at least do it away from the children!" a male voice yelled from the east northeast side of the Magikarp monster.
"Don't make it so everyone knows your name, either!" a female voice yelled from the west northwest side of Magiwizard.
"Because if you do, do you know what will happen? No, I don't think you do," a third voice, this one male, said from the south southeast side of Magiwizard.
"You'll get your ass handed to you on a silver platter," a fourth voice, this one female said directly north of Magiwizard, "because, I'm sure Tina Rage told you who we are!"
"No, she didn't, but I think you are, but can you please give me your names?" Magiwizard asked. Aly looked at him quizzically. "I want to know the names of who I defeat."
"You won't defeat us! Frank Mariendo, Power of Hoenn, Red Growlithe Ranger!" Frank said from the south southwest side of Magiwizard.
"Jack Farrell, Power of Johto, Yellow Psyduck Ranger!" Jack continued from the north northeast side of the creature.
"Brooke Taylor, Power of Kanto, Pink Corsola Ranger!" Brooke somewhat sang from the north northwest side of the monster.
"Anthony Madigan, Power of Orre, Green Sceptile Ranger!" Anthony stated from the south southeast side of Magiwizard.
"Aly Davis, Power of Sonora, Blue Spheal Ranger!" Aly concluded while setting up her weapon on the north side of Magiwizard.
"We are the Rangers of Reality, Poké Rangers…" Frank said, setting up the rest of the group to say with him, "DIMENSION WARRIORS!" Aly then sent a barrage of Ice Ball towards the monster, which he cast away easily. "Aly, what are you thinking? You need to think a strategy through!" Frank yelled.
"That never stopped you from acting rashly, now, let's make some sushi!" Aly shouted before charging at the Magikarp monster with her Warrior Blade out. Anthony groaned before trying to hold her back a little bit. "Anthony, don't try to stop me, this monster's going down!"
"Leave it to me, I've got the type advantage," Anthony said softly. He then sent a Bullet Seed attack at Magiwizard with his Sceptile Daggers, stunning it and weakening it. "See, that's using strategy. Your ice won't do much, so relax."
"You expect me to relax with a humanoid Magikarp around when I despise Magikarp greatly?" Aly questioned. Before Anthony could retort, Aly said, "Wait, don't answer that. Just look around." A giant Magcargo crossed with a Camerupt appeared near Magiwizard, along with a Shiftry crossed with a Breloom. "Okay, now we have some entertainment!" Aly had walked over to the Spheal Vault and aimed at the fire-type monster before saying, "Anthony, I think you'll need to take care of the fish now. We've got a few extras to keep us busy. Surf!"
"Psychic Shield, Water Pulse!" Jack commanded. The two Water type attacks hit the fire-type monster at the same time.
"No you don't! Eruption!" the fire-type creature said, aiming at Anthony. "FIRE BLAST!" More fire hit Anthony as he attacked Magiwizard, not relenting.
"Well, I, Shiftloom can't let him have all the fun, Mega Drain!" the grass-type monster said, draining energy from Jack.
"Aly, I need your help with the grass-type. Brooke, take care of the fire-type thing with Jack," Frank commanded. "Flame Wheel!"
"Fine by me! Ice Beam!" Aly said, shooting ice at Shiftloom while Frank shot fire at it. Shiftloom then came up fast and hit Aly with a Mach Punch. "Great, just great," she said, catching her breath. She saw a red-armored Aggron in the distance. "Oh, I just got an idea! An army is useless without its general, so let's show them what it's like to lose their general! Water Pulse!" She shot a Water-type attack in to the distance towards the Aggron-like monster.
"Aly, how do you know?" Frank asked. He looked at the monster. "Although he does look a LOT stronger than the rest of the monsters we faced, and looks just as strong as Serena, but not quite up to Tina Rage's power. All right! He probably is a general! Flamethrower!" Fire shot towards the Aggron-like monster quickly.
While this was happening, Shiftloom was sending attacks at Jack and Brooke, who were sending Water Pulse after Water Pulse at the fire-type, who was attacking Anthony, who was attacking Magiwizard, with Magiwizard weakening further. Suddenly, Magiwizard unleashed a barrier that made Anthony fly backwards about ten feet. "That's a Flail, and I wish I wasn't the only Grass-type on the team! Leaf Blade!" The last attack pierced Magiwizard through the heart, which left Anthony to notice Aly sending attacks from her Spheal Vault at an Aggron-like monster in the distance. He tapped Frank on the shoulder and asked, "What are you two doing?"
"Simple, trying to snipe the Aggron-like creature in the distance," Frank said. By then he was near Aly and sending Flamethrower after Flamethrower at the monster while Aly was sending Surf and Water Pulse towards it. "Why?"
"I thought you should know that Jack and Brooke are losing ground because of Shiftloom, so ONE of you should help fix it, and I'm guessing you would have an easier time of it than Aly because she's an Ice type and Shiftloom has a part of a Fighting type in there," Anthony stated. "Is that reasonable? If you want me to, I'll hold down this front with Aly."
"Do it, I'll go help the other two so they can help us," Frank commanded. He ran down to the two Monsters and shot Ember attacks at Shiftloom. "Now, let's do this right! Dimension Cannon!" The cannon was assembled quickly. "Ready, aim, fire!" Three colors of light hit Shiftloom and the anonymous fire-type hard. "Now, we've got another problem. Do you see the Aggron thing in the distance? Aly thinks he's a general. I'm not convinced completely, but she's attacking the thing with Anthony and needs a bit of help, and we need all the Water-type power we can get. Can you do that?"
"Yep," Brooke said. "Spike Cannon, Bubblebeam!" Bubbles hit the Aggron-like creature with force. "Jack, ready?"
"Absolutely! Psychic Shield, Hydro Pump!" Jack shouted as his shield released a stream of water towards it. The attacks appeared to have no effect on the monster. "I think we need more firepower."
"Aly, Anthony, ready to upgrade it?" Frank asked as he ran over to them with Brooke and Jack. "Dimension Cannon – Duo Upgrade!" The Dimension Cannon was formed. "Upgrade Mono!" Anthony pushed in the Sceptile Daggers, one on each side. "Upgrade Duo!" Aly put the collapsed Spheal Vault on top of the Cannon. "Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Fire!" Red, pink, yellow, green and blue lights entwined within each other and hit the Aggron-like monster.
"Oh, so you figured out that I'm a threat! No matter, I, Eraggron, will not be defeated! I'm out," the creature shouted before disappearing in the smoke. His voice remained around saying, "Until we meet again, Rangers!" Aly chased after him yet couldn't catch him. She cursed before they left the area.
"Well, I hope you learned something, Aly," Doc said after all of this ended. "What should you have learned?"
"Even though you hate something, you should still think things through before you go charging in," Aly said in a singsong voice. "Oh, and always focus on the highest power, because if the highest power falls, the rest will fall under it."
"I was only looking for the first lesson out of what you gave me," Doc said, "but that works, too. Also, even if they ask your name, never give your name to the enemy! Being a Ranger is a secret thing!"
"But, they'll know eventually, once the show is released, we're going to be watched like hawks, so what do we do about it then?" Aly objected. "It just doesn't make much sense to keep it a complete secret since our identities will probably be revealed once the show's released!"
"We won't let them know you're you," Miss Suzuki assured. "Your identities are safe as long as you keep them safe."
"Our identities have already been relinquished to one individual, but he's staying here so, as far as we know, they're pretty much safe," Anthony stated. "As far as we saw, the park had been abandoned by the time we got there."
"Yet Eraggron knows your names now, and he won't stop until he takes you down," Doc said. "After all, you're the main line of defense against Tina Rage. The police can't stop them, only you can!"
"Well, Tina Rage knows our names and attacked Roxas, yet we stopped her then," Brooke said. "We survived it once, we can survive it again.
"If you say so, but I still say it was stupid," Nick added. "Especially of you, Alyssa. You of all people should know the Ranger code, you don't even have your Rangers address each other in battle by their actual names!"
"Nick, I love you, but shut up, this isn't your battle," Aly snapped. "Ah, forget it, I'm going to my room." She left in a huff.
"Hey, Nick, you probably should follow her," Jack whispered to him. "She was only following our leads, and she didn't even use her real first name."
"Yeah, that's the problem," Nick whispered back. "This isn't like her." Jack glared at him so only he could see. "Okay, I'm going, I'm going."
Aly sat in her room and punched the pillow on her bed. She proceeded to fall over and bury her head in it. There was a knock on her door and she shouted, "If it's Doc, Miss Suzuki, Brooke, Anthony, Jack or Frank, don't come in!"
"You forgot someone," the person at the door said as he entered. He wrapped his arms around her. "Alyssa, what's wrong?"
"Listen, Nick, I feel stupid and got caught up in the whole Rangering thing and forgot one of its most important rules," Aly stated, "and then I snapped at you when I should have been kicking myself for following along! Plus, I focused on the wrong target, Frank followed my lead instead of me following his, and we almost got Brooke and Jack killed. I feel like an idiot and this is not helping."
"Alyssa…I can't help if you won't let me, so will you let me?" Nick asked as he held her tightly. Aly nodded with tears in her eyes. "I was going to ask you something when you got back, but now I don't see this as a good time. I just want you to listen. Can you do that?" Aly nodded again. "We all make stupid mistakes, and I shouldn't have called what you did stupid. I know you, you're typically not a follower, but you need to think things through sometimes. That's something only you can master. Alyssa, I love you, and I wouldn't change who you are for the world. You just lost control of your thoughts, that's all that happened."
"Nick, you don't get it, not yet," Aly said in a very shaky voice. "I don't know what to do sometimes, and I go for the most sensible thing I can think of. Maybe I need solo missions, maybe I just need to relax, one of the two would probably help, but, the thing is, I can't control my impulses. If I could have, Eraggron would have escaped, but a combination of a Shiftry and a Breloom wouldn't have almost killed Brooke and Jack. That's what I'm pissed off about, the fact that we could've gotten rid of their problem sooner, yet we didn't."
"But, you see, I do partially get it. I cannot feel what you feel in the moment, but I do understand why you're ticked at yourself, why you hate what you did," Nick said, trying to calm his girlfriend down. "You just need to think things through a little more. If there weren't other targets to deal with immediately, I would have done what you did, too." Aly started laughing all of a sudden. "What's so funny?"
"I just realized our current colors are the same as of Power Rangers Mystic Force, which was a really BAD Power Rangers series, don't bother with it," Aly said. Nick looked at her and saw that she had just cheered herself up with a random thought. "REALLY random, I know, it's just my thing, you know?"
"Since you're a little more cheerful, maybe now I could ask my question," Nick said. Aly shook her head. "Why not?"
"I'm too tired to answer any important questions right now," Aly answered, yawning. Nick tried to get up to leave, yet Aly held on to him. "I need you with me tonight. Not what you're thinking, I just need to be near you," she whispered.
Nick was confused for a moment, but then realized Aly had fallen asleep in his arms. Miss Suzuki looked in to the room and smiled when she saw her sleeping like that. Miss Suzuki then said, "Okay, Nick, you've helped enough, now get out."
"I would, but I kind of can't get up," Nick said quietly. "She's what you'd call a heavy sleeper." Miss Suzuki groaned. "Jack's out of the room, so someone has to fill his shoes!"
"Never again, Nick, never again," Miss Suzuki said as she left them alone, closing the door to Aly's room. She whispered, "Ah, to be young and in love…" as she exited.
Frank: Now, for this episode's Sentai, it's Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan! Created in 1981-1982, it involves the Black Magma machine empire and three males becoming the Sun Vulcan to stop it.
Brooke: This Sentai had the smallest squad to date, the only actual sequel to a Sentai series, the only Sentai with a change in leader and the only Sentai with an all-male team!
Aly: Small male team…hmm…
Nick: Alyssa, get your mind out of the ditch!
Jack: It's not her fault she's been corrupted! Besides, I'm sure you like it!
Nick: No, I don't like hearing vile things coming from an angel's mouth. (sees that Aly is petting a panther) Alyssa, why do you have a panther, and why isn't it trying to attack you like the pygmy goat did?
Aly: Because I can and because I didn't try to feed it. Come on, you try to pet it! (Nick comes over to pet the panther and it snaps at his hand, not biting it off, though) Gomen nasai, Nick! I didn't know it didn't like you!
Anthony: What am I going to do with you two? The next Sentai is Dai Sentai Goggle V, written out by none other than…our great inspiration, Yankee Blaze!
Nick: Hopefully I'll still have my hand next episode!
CWA: Warning - My next episode is Episode 20 and 21, a two-parter which I'm writing right now and it still might be late since I don't know of a good place to type it that's not home...anyway, I believe that's an eight episode gap, so I might actually have it done by then! So, R&R, if you please!
