BOOK I: KANTO
Chapter 13: The Battle of Vermillion Part 2
Max yelled as he was thrown into a cage-size like jail cell. The Dregrunts laughed as the gate was closed. Max gulped as he looked around. He saw the walls painted black and the only source of light was a lamp above his head. Max gulped as he sat down on the floor.
"Great," he said, tears bulging up in his eyes, "Now, what am I going to do?"
Max sighed as he sat down, twiddling his thumbs.
Meanwhile…
The battleships started releasing their weapons. Vermillion City started to become a massive painting of fire and smoke. Ash, Pikachu, Cilan, Misty, and Brock rushed through the city, trying to get the people out of the city. Officer Jenny was also directing traffic. Brock was in love as he watched her direct people onto Route 6. With a smile on his face, he was about to go astray. Quickly, Misty grabbed him by the hand.
"What?" asked Brock.
"Now's not the time to ask Jenny on a date," said Misty, looking at Brock.
Brock sighed. He then heard the sound of someone calling out for someone. He turned around.
"Max!" yelled May.
The warriors turned around as May, Iris, and Tracey appeared.
"What's wrong?" asked Brock.
"I can't find Max!" yelled May, "He's not here!"
Brock noticed a couple of Dregrunts appear to his right. Misty turned around as they saw them appear. Immediately, Ardon came out from the cracks of the Earth.
"So," said Cilan, "We have some ingredients that need to be taken out of the recipe."
"Agreed," said Misty.
Brock turned to the other rangers, "You guys get out of here. We'll search for him."
May nodded as the others started rushing out of Vermillion City. Ardon looked at them randomly and turned to them. Ardon laughed, "You four warriors can't stop us. We have expected you to come here. If you are trying to destroy us, you might as well just start running. Attack!"
Before Ash could reach for a Poké Ball, one of them reached for his face. Ash ducked his head and Pikachu jumped up. Pikachu electrocuted the creature. It wasn't enough. As it went to strike, Ash quickly took out his Charcoal Saber.
"Ember!"
Slicing the Dregrunt, he turned around and started releasing Ember attacks from his saber. Wielding his power, he was able to cut the Dregrunts within seconds. As more came toward him, he charged up his sword.
"Fire Spin!"
Stretching his saber, a wave of fire came out, causing the Dregrunts to land on the ground. He then turned toward Ardon. Ardon grumbled as he went to attack Ash. Pikachu jumped off as Ash went to fight.
Meanwhile, Misty blocked one of their punches. She chopped one of them and kicked him on the ground. She turned around as she took out her Mystic Bow. Pulling the arrow, it was released. Blue arrows were released as they landed on the ground. She then pulled another wave. It turned into bubbles as some of them fell on the ground. As one came up with a saber, she turned around and slashed him on the side.
Brock raised his Stone Axe and slashed some of them in the face. Noticing rocks, he went to grab one. He threw one up in the air and then smacked it with the axe. A massive wave of boulders came down and squished them. Brock then turned around as one went to attack from behind. He cut the creature in half. He turned toward the rest in anger.
Cilan took out his Miracle Combat Rifle. He pulled the bolt on the weapon and pulled the trigger. Tons of Bullet Seed came out of the rifle. As the Dregon Grunts landed on the ground, some came up from behind. Cilan quickly pressed a red button and pulled the trigger on the weapon. A black seed came out and caught the group in a little net, which then connected to the nozzle.
"Leech Seed!" he said, pressing the trigger. The Dregrunts yelled as their energy was being taken away. The Dregrunts yelled as they landed on the ground.
Ash ducked Ardon's moves. Ardon then raised his saber. Ash punched him in the stomach and then threw him on the ground. Ardon groaned. He supercharged his saber and released a golden metallic beam.
"Power of Fire, I summon you!"
An explosion appeared as Ash transformed into his battle suit. Ardon yelled as Ash started rushing in. The sounds of swords were clashing. Ardon laughed as he kicked Ash four to five times and then threw him on the ground like a rag doll. The other warriors turned around to see what was going on.
"Ash!" said Misty.
"Let's go!" said Brock.
"Alright…," said Cilan.
They started running toward Ardon. Ardon turned around as they raised their braces to eye level.
"Power of the Elements, we summon you!"
Immediately, a wave of water, a barrier of boulders, and tons of vines surrounded the three of them as they transformed into their uniforms. As they huddled over to Ash, Ardon turned around as he noticed more battleships were heading this way. Ash ducked as Ardon swung again.
"Warriors, feel the pain of the fleet! FIRE!"
Immediately, rockets were fired. As Ardon escaped, the four warriors yelled as they saw 50 rockets heading straight to their location. Quickly, Ash pressed the red button. As they materialized, they teleported to the Spear Pillar as the rockets hit them just in time. When the smoke cleared, a gaping hole appeared in the Earth.
Spear Pillar…
"That was way too close," said Ash, taking off the helmet.
"Yeah," said Misty, "How do we stop the fleet?"
Brock sighed and turned to them, "We need to get on to the ships."
Cilan looked up and turned to them. He was rubbing his chin as an 'a-ha' moment appeared, "Suppose they are all connected by a source on one of those ships?"
Arceus nodded as he turned to Cilan, "Cilan, that was the most brilliant idea to come up with for discussion. Warriors, he has a point. They are probably are all connected through electronic communication."
"So, if we can find the source without destroying the ships," said Ash, turning to Cilan, "We can stop this monstrosity of a war."
Cilan nodded. The rangers then turned around and looked at Arceus. Arceus sighed as a white plate appeared.
"Whoa," said Ash, looking at him, "Another plate?"
"And another warrior is ready to join you," said Arceus, "Unfortunately, this is a plate that has never been created. So, I used some of my Pokémon power to create the Basic Plate for Normal-Types."
"So," said Ash, "Whoever gets the next type will resemble you?"
"Yes," said Arceus, "According to the Sinnoh Legends, like I said, there wasn't a plate for Normal Types because I am a Normal-Type Pokémon. Anyway, the warrior I choose is your friend Max."
"Max?" asked the rangers. Ash nodded, "Cool."
"Ash, he's too young to fight with us. He could get hurt!" said Brock, looking at Ash, "Do you really think this is cool?"
"At this point, Brock, we are desperate for a new warrior. If we can't defeat a creature with just the four of us, we are going to need a fifth warrior," said Ash, "And at this point in the war, with controlling battleships do you really think we have a choice?"
Misty nodded with Ash as she turned to Brock, "Brock, in order to defeat Dregon, you know we need 17 warriors. That's us! If Max is chosen, it's his choice."
Cilan sighed, "I don't know."
The rangers turned toward Arceus. Arceus nodded, "I have already made my decision. Please give the Basic Plate to Max, so he can transform. He might be young, but he has a good heart… Normal types can be cute, but they are good strong warriors. Max fits the category. But, you might need to rescue him."
"Rescue him?" asked Ash.
Arceus nodded, "Yes. According to what I have been seeing, Max has already gotten on to find the source. He was then captured by Dregon's forces."
"Told you he always gets into trouble," said Brock, looking at Ash, "Seriously, we should give it to Tracey."
Ash looked at Brock, "You are going to go against Arceus for his decision?"
Brock sighed and turned to Ash, "You guys do what you want."
Brock reached for his brace. As he pressed a button, a golden aura surrounded him. He then disappeared from the Spear Pillar. Ash walked over to pick up the plate, "We'll give it to him."
Later that day…
Brock was sitting on the dock as he saw the fires of Vermillion City. He sighed as he took out a rock and skipped it along the water. He sighed as he looked at the sky and then the sun. Seeing a massive massacre happen of Vermillion City was not what he wanted to see. He then heard the sound of footsteps. Brock turned to his left. Lt. Surge walked over toward him.
"So, what is the Pewter City Gym Leader doing here? Shouldn't you be helping Ash and Misty save the world?" asked Lt. Surge.
"It's a bit difficult," said Brock, "We're kind of in a dispute right now."
Lt. Surge looked at Brock and laughed, "Well, what dispute?"
"We may recruit a fifth warrior," said Brock. Lt. Surge looked at him, "What?"
"Yeah. The problem is, is that the person that was chosen is someone I don't want to see getting killed in battle," said Brock.
Lt. Surge looked at him. Brock sighed. Lt. Surge understood what he meant. Brock, however continued on, "He's too young, though. If he's too young to get a Pokémon, do you think I'm going to let him take it?"
Lt. Surge raised an eyebrow, "Did you ever think maybe that kid has spunk?"
Brock chuckled, "He does… somewhat. I mean when I was with Ash in Hoenn, Max was a little edgy. He changed dramatically over time."
Lt. Surge sighed, "I think it's time to give him the power. What do you think?"
Brock sighed as he looked at Lt. Surge. He nodded as he turned away, "Maybe…"
Suddenly, he noticed a black battleship in the ocean. Brock noticed the ship was coming toward them. As the ship stopped, Brock and Lt. Surge dove into the water as the Dregrunts started rushing out. Brock and Lt. Surge popped their heads out of the water as they started coming out with weapons. They nodded as they swam toward the ship. Climbing on the rope ladder that was there, Brock got up and over. He threw three of the Dregrunts in the water and knocking them out. Lt. Surge took out a silenced pistol from his shirt and shot three of them.
"Nice shot," said Brock.
They headed down the stairs. Brock and Lt. Surge walked into a room that had so many computer panels. There, a couple of Dregrunts were walking around with clipboards in hand. Brock turned to Lt. Surge as he pulled out his Guardian Blaster. Lt. Surge and Brock shot them all with the Guardian Blaster.
"Great," said Brock, reaching toward the control panel, "Allow me to back it up."
Pressing the buttons, he looked at the screen as the ship started backing up. Lt. Surge laughed as he looked at the Dregrunts that were waving. Some of them started jumping toward the water.
"I think we should give them a wonderful sendoff," said Brock.
Lt. Surge laughed as he pressed a few buttons, "Torpedo away!"
A torpedo launched from the bottom of the ship. As it headed toward the docks, the Dregrunts saw something coming toward them with a fin on top. They screamed as an explosion appeared. Brock and Lt. Surge laughed as they pounded their fists. Brock pressed a button on his brace, "This is Brock. We have one of Lt. Surge's Battle Cruisers."
Meanwhile, they heard the sound of pounding in the ventilation system. Brock and Lt. Surge turned around as they saw the vent screen popped out. Brock watched as Max flew out, landing on the ground.
"Max?" asked Brock.
"Brock!" said Max, "I'm so happy you came to rescue me."
"How did you escape?" asked Lt. Surge.
"I offered a Dregrunt a lollipop," said Max, "Then I shocked him with his weapon. He's in prison."
"Haha," said Lt. Surge, looking at him, "See? You do have spunk."
Suddenly, the ship started shaking. Brock turned around as he saw three Battleships heading toward them.
"Don't just sit there," said Max, running to the weapons console. The armed weapons came in front toward them. Pressing buttons, the torpedoes and rockets came out of the ship, destroying some of the armor on the Battleships. Brock then noticed a red light on the screen.
"Hey," said Brock, "What is this?"
"That is the main console to control the other Battleships," said Lt. Surge, "Weapons, power, and everything is connected with those three ships."
Max chuckled as he looked at the control panel. He then pressed a couple of buttons on the screen. He smiled, pressing a green button.
"Their systems should overload right about… now," said Max.
Immediately, they looked at the screen. Explosions appeared around the three ships. Max smiled as he high-fived Brock and Lt. Surge. Brock smiled as he looked at Max. Turning to his right, he noticed a red, green, and blue wave of energy appeared.
"Ash, Cilan, Misty!" said Brock.
"Are you okay?" asked Ash.
"Yeah," said Brock, "Max saved me."
"Good!" said Cilan, "Excellent idea. At least there won't be any more battleships to destroy Vermillion."
"Yeah," said Max.
As the warriors walked out, they ran into Shorty, a couple of Dregrunts and Electrovolt. Shorty grumbled, "You son of a bitch! How dare you destroy my plan?"
Ash turned to Lt. Surge, "Run!"
Max nodded as he and Lt. Surge went to run. Brock grabbed him by the shirt, "Not you."
Max turned around. Brock smiled as he grabbed the Basic Plate from Ash. Ash nodded as he gave it to Max, "Max, would you like to become the Normal Warrior?"
Max smiled as he looked at the other rangers, "And be like you? Fighting to save the world?"
Brock and the others nodded. Max smiled as he raised the plate, "Yeah!"
Suddenly, the white plate began to glow. It materialized into a brace on Max's hand with a plain diamond symbol on it, symbolizing the Normal-Type.
"Let's do it!" said Ash.
Shorty laughed, "Oh, please. You guys can't stop me."
Ash smiled as he turned to the other warriors.
"Power of Fire, I summon you!"
"Power of Water, I summon you!"
"Power of Rock, I summon you!"
"Power of Grass, I summon you!"
"Power of Normality, I summon you!"
The rangers looked at Max as their braces began to glow. Max looked at him, "It makes more sense."
Pressing the button, Ash's bracelet began to glow bright red. Ash stood as his whole entire body covered him in flames. However, Ash was okay. There were no burns surrounding him. However, he did feel heat. Ash began to glow bright red within the inferno he was covered in. He had red shining armor on his arms and legs. He had a black and gold blaster on his left hip. He had a red helmet that had the image of a Charizard. The flames diminished as he marched forward.
"Ash, Fire Warrior!"
Pressing the button, Misty's bracelet began to glow bright blue. Misty watched as her whole body was covered in a field of water. Yet, she wasn't drenched from the powerful water. Her skin felt moist. Misty began to glow bright blue within the whirlpool. She had blue shining armor on her arms and legs. She had the Guardian Blaster on her left hip with a blue skirt around her waist. Her helmet had the image of a Starmie. The whirlpool was then released.
"Misty, Water Warrior!"
Pressing the button, Brock's bracelet began to glow bright gold. Rocks materialized around him, entrapping him into a rock tomb. Brock was able to breathe as he stretched his arms out. In a flash of gold light, Brock had acquired golden armor on his arms and legs and also on his torso. He had the Guardian Blaster on his left hip. He also had a helmet that had the image of an Onix. The rocks exploded from above, disappearing into thin air.
"Brock, Rock Warrior!"
Pressing the button, Cilan's bracelet began to glow bright green. A cluster of leaves came from all over the place, surrounding Cilan. Able to feel the energy coming from the leaves, Cilan stretched his arms out. In a flash of green light, he had green armor on his arms, legs, and torso, just like the other suits. His Guardian Blaster materialized on his left hip and his helmet resembled a Pansage. The leaves then disappeared as he went to strike a pose.
"Cilan, Grass Warrior!"
Pressing the button, Max's bracelet began to glow white. White light surrounded Max as he was able to feel the power of the light. Max stretched his arms out. In a flash of colorful lights, he had metallic white armor just like the other suits. His Guardian Blaster appeared on his left hip and his helmet resembled Arceus. The light disappeared as he went to strike a pose.
"Max, Normal Warrior!"
"Pokémon Warriors!"
Shorty stood there in response to the new warrior, "You… don Arceus's power?"
Max nodded, "And what if I do? You guys are still going down the same."
Shorty turned to Electrovolt. Electrovolt yelled as the Dregrunts attacked. Ash and the others nodded as they started to take them down. Ash and Misty jumped up and punched two of the Dregrunts at once. Ash and Misty took out their weapons.
"Charcoal Saber!"
"Mystic Bow!"
As the Dregrunts were coming toward them, Ash and Misty released a wave of fire and water attacks into one. The Dregrunts flipped backwards and landed on the ground. Ash and Misty turned to a couple coming from the ocean. Physically, they slashed them with the saber. As the Dregrunts landed on the ground, they turned to see Shorty flapping away. Ash and Misty jumped up to grab the Natu. Shorty released a Psybeam that caused them to land on the ground.
Brock and Cilan jumped up and kicked two of them in the stomach. Brock kicked three of them. One by one, they fell into the ocean. Cilan punched three of them and sent them over in the ocean.
"Stone Axe!"
"Miracle Combat Rifle!"
As Brock generated boulders from his hand, he smacked it with his Stone Axe, creating a Rock Blast attack. As the Dregrunts were hit, Cilan released tons of Bullet Seed from his weaponry, piercing them in response. They sank in the water. Electrovolt got angry. As he turned around to release an electrical bolt, Max kicked Electrovolt in the back. Electrovolt turned around as the rangers went to the front of the ship. Electrovolt screamed as he released yellow bolts. The rangers ducked the attack. Max saw his brace glow. A pair of white daggers appeared with metallic blades.
"Razor Daggers!"
Electrovolt laughed as he released yellow bolts at Max. Max started running as he kept dodging the attack. Max jumped up, "Quick Attack!"
With his daggers, he slashed Electrovolt ten times within five seconds. Ash and the others watched as Electrovolt started backing up. The warriors turned around as they saw Max's weapon glow along with the others.
"Wait a minute, we unlocked a new weapon," said Misty, "Right?"
Suddenly, the weapons began to glow as the Stone Axe connected with the Miracle Combat Rifle. The Razor Daggers connected underneath the Miracle Combat Rifle. The Mystic Bow connected on top of the Miracle Combat Rifle with the Charcoal Sword on top.
"Warriors, behold the Penta-Element Blaster!" said Arceus, through their braces. As Ash carried it, Misty and Brock stood on either side of Ash while Max and Cilan stood on either side of them.
"Power of the Elements!"
Suddenly, their suits began to glow as the weapon was powering up. Electrovolt yelled as he released a lightning bolt at them. Ash pulled the trigger as a white beam of energy pierced through the thunderbolt. Electrovolt yelled as he was thrown into the glass next to a couple of gas tanks. Misty and the others got off the ship. Immediately, the battleship exploded.
Later that day…
May turned around. She stood there with relief as she saw Max with the others.
"THERE YOU ARE!" yelled May, running toward Max. Max was given a hug from May. Tears were coming out of her eyes. Max smiled as he was let go.
"Sorry… I kind of got captured," said Max.
"Don't ever scare me like that again!" said May.
Max looked down as he rubbed his head, "Sorry."
May then looked at his right hand and then she looked at Ash's and the others. She turned to Max, "No way. Are you?"
"Yep," said Max, showing the Warrior Brace, "I'm the fifth warrior!"
May sighed as she turned to Ash, "There's no way I'm leaving him with you. As much as I know I can trust you, his big sister needs to come."
"I can take care of myself, now that I am a Normal-Type Warrior," said Max. Iris giggled a little bit to the others, "I think he's overconfident."
Max darted his eyes at Iris, "What does that mean?"
Tracey chuckled as he turned toward Ash, "Well, at least we have 12 more to unlock."
Ash nodded in response. The warriors smiled in response as they walked away from the situation. The sun began to set as they met Lt. Surge. Lt. Surge shook their hands in response.
"I want to thank you for saving what's left of Vermillion City," said Lt. Surge, looking at all the damage that was around, "We'll do our best. Defeat Dregon for us!"
Ash nodded, "We will. Thank you for everything!"
Later…
The trainers were sitting outside the Pokémon Center. The night sky was shining above them as Max looked at the stars and then at the moon. He turned over toward Ash, who was petting Pikachu. He was quiet for once. Placing Pikachu on his shoulder, he turned toward Max in response.
"So," said Ash, "How does it feel to be the fifth element?"
"To be honest," said Max, putting his glasses toward him, "It feels great. To hone normal-type powers is amazing. Dad's going to be proud of me when this is all over."
May, who was sitting next to Max, turned to him with a curious look on her face, "You did tell Dad that you were with me?"
Max looked at May, "Yes. Professor Birch told him. I thought we talked about this already."
May sighed, "Just double checking. I don't want Dad to call me wondering where you went off to."
Max looked at May, "May, I'm sure Dad wouldn't mind."
Cilan sighed as he looked at the trainers, "Just think about it. We now have five elements. A wonderful recipe is brewing and coming together."
Brock nodded, "Yeah. I just hope we can get them quickly so we can defeat Dregon."
Ash laughed, "I'm sure Dregon's probably pissed that his Battleship Plan wasn't going in effect."
The other trainers also laughed. Ash sighed as he turned to the others on either side of him and looked at the moon.
