Chapter 13
"Wow, I can't believe I got to meet my idol Cross!" Petal said, smiling. "Aw, he was just as handsome as the pictures!"
Petal and I were walking across the grass to meet Professor Hastings. We headed out to the Vien Forest, talking about… Cross.
"What's so great about that guy, anyway?" I asked, frowning.
"Oh, everything!" Petal said. "He and Wendy are both well known for being the most beautiful Top Rangers!"
"…" I said, frowning.
"Oh, don't worry, you're still cute." Petal said, smiling. "I'm not gonna be leaving you any time soon!"
"Ah, young love." An old man walked up to us, smiling. He wore a white lab coat and had wild white hair.
"Are you Professor Hastings?" I asked, unsure.
"Of course it is, you idiot." Petal said. "Haven't you ever read 'Ranger's Weekly' before?"
"Ah, so you're the ranger I heard about, eh?" Hastings said, staring at me. "Kelly!"
"I know, right!" Petal said, laughing.
"Hey!" I exclaimed, enraged. "How can you just say stuff like that?"
"It's fun." Petal said.
"It's fun." Hastings nodded in agreement.
"You guys are jerks!" I exclaimed, face palming.
"Anyways, let's head back to the ranger base." Hastings said, frowning. Hastings, Petal, and I headed back to the ranger base, where Hastings began examining the machine.
"Ah, I have seen something like this!" Hastings said. "In Pueltown, I saw several men carrying them around! I thought they were mailboxes, but I guess I was wrong!"
"Cross was right." Barlow said. "Cross?"
Barlow turned to where Cross had been standing, but he was gone.
"Damn it…" Cross growled, running through Vien Forest, Glacia right behind him. "So they're going after Pueltown, huh?"
"Alright, Petal, Kellyn, I want you two to go to Pueltown to see what's wrong." Barlow said.
"Got it!" Petal said, nodding. Kurou and I followed after her, as she headed into the Vien Forest.
We moved through the Vien Forest as fast as we could, and soon enough we had arrived at Pueltown. Pueltown was by far the largest city in all of Almia, with enormous buildings and mostly grey and white streets.
"Alright, we need to find these things." Petal said. "Cross is probably doing a pretty good job, so we should go after him to make sure we've got 'em all."
"Alright." I said, nodding in agreement. Petal and I headed out, only to see one of the red machines.
"Why didn't he destroy that one?" I asked.
"Glaceon's field move is crush." Petal said, pointing at the remains of a yellow machine. "Those things seem to be cleared by crush. He's going after the most he can with only Glacia.
"Alright, we need to find something that has soak." I said, running back into the forest. Petal and I set our eyes on two Bibarel. They wore brown dresses with furry brown hair down to their shoulders and brown eyes, with a large brown tail.
"Alright, let's do this!" Petal said, the two of us looping over the two moemon, capturing them.
Moemon: Bibarel
Type: Normal/Water
Poke Assist: Water
Field Move: Soak x2
Info: Bibarel store large amounts of water in their cheeks, which they can use in order to squirt a large stream of water at their opponents.
Petal and I rushed back to Pueltown, and our Bibarel destroyed two of the red machines.
"You two!" Cross said, running up to us. "Should have known Barlow would send people after me."
"Yup!" Petal said, smiling. "So, how can we help?"
"Well, there are two of each machine." Cross said, frowning. "Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue. Reds are destroyed with Soak, Yellows are destroyed with Crush."
"So we need to take out the Greens and the Blues?" Petal asked, nodding. "Alright!"
"Good." Cross said, nodding. "Let's all split up here."
The three of us headed off in our separate directions, Kurou following after me. Soon enough, we reached a green machine in the middle of a small field.
"Alright, green, like grass type, so we should probably use the burn moeassist." I said, frowning. "We need to find a fire type to help us."
I looked around the sections we had already cleared of machines, and soon enough I laid my eyes on a Growlithe. She wore a red shirt and red shorts, and had fluffy white hair and blue eyes.
"Alright!" I said, releasing my capture disk. The disk shot forwards at the Growlithe, looping around her several times.
Moemon: Growlithe
Type: Fire
Poke Assist: Fire
Field Move: Burn x2
Info: Growlithe are a very loyal moemon. They have a very fierce bite, which can charge flames into objects, but their bark releases blasts of flame.
"Alright, let's head back." I said. I used the Growlithe's moeassist in order to destroy the green device, and I headed towards the rendezvous point, the docks.
The three of us met up at the dock area, where we learned that between us we had destroyed all the machines.
"Alright, let's go get those Dim Sun bastards!" Cross exclaimed.
"Alright, but where are they?" Petal asked, frowning.
"I saw them heading out to the far dock." Cross said. "Let's go get 'em."
The three of us charged down the paved streets until we reached the dock, where the guys in black uniforms from before were loading something into the boat.
"Hey, you guys!" Cross shouted. "Stop what you're doing!"
"Crap, it's a Top Ranger!" One of the Dim Sun grunts on the boat exclaimed.
"Toxicroak, go!" A controlled Toxicroak leapt of the boat and looked at us menacingly. She wore a blue shirt with a red front and blue pants, with a white belt and long black gloves that had red blades sticking out of the top. She had blue hair down to her shoulders, and golden eyes.
"Alright, can you two handle things here?" Cross asked, looking back at us. "I need to take off after those guys."
We nodded in agreement, and Cross leapt onto a speedboat to follow after those guys, Glacia by his side.
"Alright, so we say 'sure, no problem' but when it comes down to it there's nothing much we can really do." Petal said, frowning, staring at the moemon. "What's your plan?"
"Try not to die." I said, frowning.
"Oh, great plan."
Hey, it's worked before, right? Review!
