Act 20: Info
The Leviathan was anchored along the coastline on route 34.
After finishing their morning training, the Shinkengers were below deck with the three baby dragons and wolf pups resting between them.
"So we still have no idea what these pokemon are?" Jack asked as he stroked the side of his green dragon's head.
"Actually , Mako was kind enough to sent me the information her house has on the romans. According to an old roman manuscript these wolves were apparently called direwolves. " Arkanes said as he picked up his own.
"They apparently are an ancestor of canine pokemon." Arkanes said.
"Can they evolve?" Quinn asked.
"According to the manuscript they have three evolutions. The first is called cub, which is what they're now. Next is called luvenalibus, sort of a juvenile form, then fully grown are called Lupus."
"What type are they?" Kaoru asked.
"The manuscript says they're suppose to be Ice-Dark."
"What about the dragons?" Alex asked with his golden dragon on his shoulder.
"Another manuscript just called them dragons, no special names. It's possible they're an ancestor to other dragon pokemon. Their infant forms are called wyrmlings, their next evolved forms are called drakes , their final evolved forms is called draco. According to the manuscript they were reserved for roman Equites."
"Equites?" Jack asked.
"Minor noblemen who fought as elites in the roman army, they were kind of like roman knights. The Dragons were also used as mounts for generals and other noblemen."
Hikoma looked at Alex.
"I'm not sure about you having one then."
"What type of pokemon are they?"
"Fire and dragon." Arkanes said.
"Let us know if you can find anything on raising them." Takeru said as Arkanes nodded.
"Those are some interesting names, but I think I'd rather give him his own name. From now on you're Glaedr." Alex said stroking the side of his dragon's head.
"I like that idea, my pup's name is Vrulh." Arkanes said.
"My is Snow." Quinn said.
"Mine is Summer." Kaoru said.
"Retsudo." Takeru said as his dragon looked up a him.
"After the first Shinken Red, your ancestor." Hikoma said sounding almost concerned.
Jack thought for a minute before a name came to mind.
"Mine will be named Chiaki." The others turned to him.
"Your deceased uncle?" Hikoma said.
"I think it's cute." Kaoru said.
Celebi was hovering beside Emily before flying down to the wolves and dragons still on the pillows.
"Celebi." She said as Snow licked her face.
"I think after all the chaos from the Ilex forest, we should ease up today and try to see what these guys can do." Takeru said.
Jack, Takeru, Alex, and Arkanes were together on the main deck. A few boats and trainers had passed them on water pokemon , and two were having a battle a few dozen yards away.
"I can't wait for Chiaki to reach his final evolution." Jack said as he saw his Dragon on the ground in front of him chasing a frightened Rattata."
"First we need to train them, to do that we need to learn what moves they know." Takeru said.
"That sounds like a good idea, unfortunately the manuscript didn't show anything."
"Well most fire starters should at least know Ember from birth. Glaedr." He said as his dragon turned to him.
"Use Ember."
The dragon kept staring at him.
Takeru and Jack gave the same instructions to their dragons to the same result.
Hikoma laughed watching them.
"It appears they may be too young to train."
"I've trained pokemon this young." Takeru said.
"Any canine pokemon should know tackle." Arkanes said.
"Vrulh use Tackle."
The cub tilted his head to the side slightly.
Arkanes sweat dropped.
"Perhaps they could use some nourishment." Hikoma said as Takeru nodded.
A few kuroko came out with some shredded meat for the dragons and growth milk for Vrulh.
As the four watched their pokemon eat, a kuroko was scrubbing the deck near the helm.
As he scrubbed, another boat , a sailing boat about sixty-percent the size of the Leviathan with three large masts on the main deck was moving past them.
The kuroko was scrubbing near the the steering wheel when he accidentally moved it. The shifting of the steering wheel caused the mojikara enhanced ship to move slightly and hit the sailing boat's side.
Takeru and the others were nearly knocked to the deck.
"What happened?" Hikoma asked.
The kuroko nervously backed away and went below deck. Takeru quickly checked the side of the Leviathan, their ship was made with mojikara enhanced wood and metal underneath, such a bump wouldn't do any harm, but he was more concerned with the boat they just hit.
The sailing boat stopped and anchored as two figures appeared from below deck. They both appeared to be in their mid twenties with different skin tones than the shinkengers, both being paler and more Kanton.
The young man had very dark-brown hair that was slightly curly and came down almost to his shoulders. He had a mustache goatee , but not a large one, and grey eyes. The young woman had long pale, silvery hair, violet eyes, and the same skin tone as the young man.
"We're terribly sorry, I have no idea how that happened." Hikoma said. The man looked at the side of their boat.
"It doesn't look like there was any serious damage, we have it insured." The man said, his accent sounding Kanton, but also different.
"Please come aboard, we should pay for any damaged."
"Truly, it's no trouble." The young woman said, her accent sounding similar , but also a bit different.
"I insist, it would do my house dishonor to not welcome you at least." Takeru said.
The two came aboard the Leviathan.
"I'm Lord Takeru Shiba." Takeru said respectfully bowing.
"A samurai lord, how about that. You can call me Jon. This is my wife Daenerys."
"This is my hand Hikoma, these are some of my retainers, Jack, Arkanes, and Alex."
"Hello." Jack said.
"An honor to meet you." Arkanes said.
"That one is only a mercenary." Hikoma said before Alex could speak.
"So I take it your the Shinkengers we've heard so much about." Jon said.
Takeru nodded.
"I thought there were more of you." Daenerys said.
"There are, we have two others that are out on the trail." Alex said.
"Where are you headed?" Jon asked.
"Goldenrod city." Jack said.
"Are you two from Kanto?" Takeru asked.
"We're from the Seafoam islands , so yes. We were recently married."
"So I take it you're on your honeymoon." Arkanes said.
"You'd be right." Jon said.
"I insist you send us a bill for your boat."
"Money is no problem, we own a steel manufacturing company." Daenerys said.
"Really." Jack said.
"Valyrian steel." Jon said.
Takeru had heard of Valyrian steel, they were the best steel manufacturers in the world. The steel made a their company was of higher quality than any other company in existence, they we not a mass manufacturer, but what they did sell went for a very high price, in fact their Shinkenger katanas were made from Valyrian Steel, it was the only steel that could handle mojikara.
"It's an honor to meet you." Takeru said.
Hikoma then noticed Jon had a sheathed sword on his back.
"Is that a sword?"
"Oh yes, this is long claw, my own personal creation." Jon said showing it. The sword was a hand and a half broadsword with a white wolf's head at the end of the pommel and a guard with the ends pointed slightly up. The sword was clearly Valyrian steel, however, it seemed to be of higher quality than even their katanas.
"I like to keep it with me, practice swordsmanship."
"Well there is no swordsmanship like a samurai." Hikoma said as Takeru was about to say something.
"I don't doubt that. Though I have wondered just how good the legendary Shinken Red actually is." Jon said.
"You can't want to actually spar against Lord Shiba? We don't hurt our guests." Hikoma said.
"How do you know Jon will be hurt." Daenerys said.
Takeru wasn't one to turn down challenger.
"Alright."
Two kuroko came over and handed Jon a wooden broadsword while Jon had a wooden kendo sword.
"This should be good." Jack said.
Takeru came forward and tried to strike Jon, however, he moved fast with the broadsword, knocking away each of his strikes with a counterstrike.
Takeru was surprised at just how good Jon was, he had started by holding back, but not even at his best, Jon was showing his skill.
Hikoma and the others were in complete surprise at how good Jon was. Daenerys just looking like she was enjoying herself.
"How is he standing up to our lord?" Arkanes said.
Jon's sword fighting style was not at all like the samurai style, it was more western, Kalos and Kanto esk. Almost like a knight, but a another technique in there as well.
As Jon knocked away Takeru's strikes, he also landed a few counter strikes, backhanding Takeru and almost tripping him.
Takeru regained himself and launched a counter attack, managing to catch Jon's strikes and avoid his counter movements.
Hikoma almost looked relieved as he saw Takeru manage to force Jon back a little before the end of his sword was at Jon's neck.
Takeru smiled.
"I win."
Jon smiled back.
"Did you?"
Takeru looked down and saw the tip of Jon's wooden sword was at his stomach.
"A draw then. I must admit I didn't think anyone could."
"Fight as well as you, I don't think there are many who can."
Alex looked away for a moment.
"I know a few who could."
"Where did you learn to fight like that?" Takeru asked.
"Just had good teachers."
Daenerys then noticed the dragons and dire wolf.
"Jon." She said as he turned and saw them as well.
The two seemed very surprised.
"Where did you get those!?" Daenerys almost shouted.
"Ohhh, uh. These are." Jack started.
"Dragons and dire wolves." Jon said as the others looked surprised.
"Still in cub and wyrmlings forms." Daenerys said as she knelt down, the three dragons looking at her.
"You know what they are?" Takeru said in surprise.
"Where did you find them?" Jon asked.
"The ruins of Alph." Jack said.
"Of course." Daenerys said.
"They hatched recently. But I don't think they're ready to be trained, we've tried giving them commands , but they don't know any moves." Arkanes said.
"Dracarys." Daenerys said before all three wrymlings opened their mouths and each let out a small ember attack. Each of their fires was colored after their scales.
The group was in disbelief seeing this.
Jon said something as well, Vrulh getting up and using Tackle in the air.
"How did you do that?!" Takeru said.
Jon and Daenerys turned to each other and smiled.
"We can tell you that , if you beat us in a battle." Jon said.
"What?"
"One of you against each of us, a single battle." Daenerys said.
"I'm in." Alex said sounding pumped as he faced Jon.
"Me too." Jack started.
"No, I shall defend the honor of our great lord." Arkanes said as he faced Daenerys.
They went ashore to avoid damaging the Leviathan.
"No double battle, just one on one for each of us." Jon said.
"I'm ready for any battle." Alex said excited as he took out his pokeball and threw it forward.
"I choose you Croconaw!" Alex shouted as Croconaw came out and snapped his jaws before dancing around.
Arkanes took out a pokeball as well.
"Go Drapion!" The large scorpion pokemon came out and in front of Arkanes.
Jon and Daenerys took out two pokeballs, both having Valyrian steel areas.
The group was in disbelief as they saw a colossal dragon and dire wolf come out.
The dragon looked like an adult version of the three dragon, Retsudo in particularly, having very similar black and red scales. The Dragon was almost as big as a Wailord with many dozens of spikes running down its back connected by scaly red tissues , its head horns came straight back along the neck, and had a mouth full of large cerated black teeth.
"Grauuuu!" he roared, making the groups' teeth rattle.
The dire wolf had snow white fur just like Quinn's and red eyes as well. However, he was nearly the size of a Rapidash.
"Are those!?"
"Drogon, a Draco."
"Ghost, a Lupus." Jon said.
The three dragons and Vrulh were very interested in seeing their evolved forms.
Despite seeing this , Alex was as determined as ever.
"Croconaw use Leer!"
Jon spoke in the language he had used before, Alex seeing Ghost use agility. Just like his namesake, the Direwolf moved like a spirit, so fast that Croconaw couldn't get a lock on him with Leer.
Jon said something else as Ghost pounced at Croconaw.
"Dodge and use water gun!"
Croconaw used his surprising agility to duck and flip , Ghost going just over him as Croconaw repositioned himself to use Watergun. However, Ghost turned himself around in less than a moment and pounced into Croconaw , using Crunch on him as Croconaw cried out in pain before being picked up and tossed away, Ghost snarling with his large fangs.
Croconaw got up and growled back, he wouldn't let this dog out bite him.
Meanwhile Arkanes and Drapion were facing Daenerys and Drogon were battling.
"Drapion use Venoshock!" Drapion unleashed a blast of venom into the air as Drogon evaded it in the air.
Despite his immense size, Drogon was surprisingly fast and agile in the air.
Daenerys said something as Drogon flew lower and towards Drapion.
"That's right, come to us, Toxic spikes."
Drapion covered the ground in toxic spikes.
"Earthquake."
"What good will that do?" Jack asked.
Takeru noticed the ground shook and the spikes began to bounce into the air towards Drogon.
"Cross poison!" Drapion's claws glowed violet as he raised them.
Daenerys said something else as Drogon let out fire that erupted around his body. The fire melted away the poison as Daenerys gave another command, the sheer heat from the fire making Drapion move his arms up as Drogon knocked them away with his wings before using his foot claws with a dragon claw to slash Drapion back.
"What are they saying?" Jack asked.
"It almost sounds like latin, only a little different." Takeru said.
Croconaw kept watching Ghost as he circled Croconaw.
"Croconaw get into the water."
Croconaw leapt into the nearby water and swam underneath.
"Water gun."
Croconaw leapt up and blasted water at Ghost who kept using Agility to avoid the blasts of water.
Jon said something as Ghost let out a thick mist around them.
"Naw?" Croconaw said as he couldn't see.
Alex heard Jon speak again before Croconaw felt the water get colder, much colder. He began to shiver, being cold blooded the icy water was particularly painful.
Croconaw leapt out of the water before he could freeze and was slashed from behind by Ghost, rolling onto the ground near Alex, who grit his teeth, Croconaw getting up.
Drapion was trying to keep up with Drogon as he kept soaring over them.
"Drapion use Toxic spikes!"
Drapion tossed several spikes into the air in the path of Drogon.
"Dracarys!"
Drogon roared as he blasted black and red fire into the poison, melting it into nothing as Drapion moved to the side.
"Got you, Leech life!"
Drapion unleashed the attack, but Drogon made very sharp movement , the attack missing him to Arkanes's frustration.
"Dracarys."
Drogon blasted Drapion back with the black fire.
"Drapion!"
Croconaw saw Ghost circling him again as Alex tried to turn the battle around.
"Water gun on the ground." Croconaw blasted the ground with water before sliding towards Ghost.
Ghost leapt over Croconaw who blasted him from behind with water gun.
Ghost avoided the water before Jon spoke, Ghost opening his mouth as a blast of ice hit the water freezing it.
Croconaw lost control and slid even faster as Ghost ran across the ice without trouble , slashing Croconaw with Night Slash before he landed on his stomach with swirly eyes,
"Croconaw!"
Drapion backed up as Drogon kept flying over him.
"Venoshock, aim for his wings!"
Drapion unleashed a blast of energy at Drogon's wings, the massive Draco flipping itself away .
"Cross Poison"
Drapion tried to rush at Drogon as he came lower.
Daenerys spoke again, Drogon's tail glowing before he smashed it into Drapion's head.
Drapion landed on the ground with swirly eyes.
Drogon landed beside Daenerys as Ghost said down beside Jon.
"Croconaw return."
"Drapion return."
The group were amazed at just how powerful the pokemon were.
"I guess we still have plenty of training to do." Alex said holding Croconaw's pokeball.
Jon and Daenerys approached.
"You have Dragons and Direwolves too."
"Why do you think we were shocked you had them." Jon said.
"Where did you get them?" Arkanes asked.
"That's for us to know I'm afraid, but we can tell you how to raise them." Daenerys said.
She took out an e-reader as Arkanes took out his.
Daenerys connected them before Arkanes saw new books on his.
"These pokemon were bred by the ancient Romans, they only respond to a form of Latin they spoke. We just gave you the translations." Jon said.
"Thank you." Takeru said.
"Train them well, we will meet again, and I expect better results." Daenerys said. The two returned to their sailing boat with Ghost and Drogon before departing.
Takeru could tell there was more to those two then they were letting on, and he wanted to find out.
Elsewhere on route 34, the girls were with their pokemon.
Emily was with Celebi as a series of targets laid on the ground.
Emily painted a wind character before the targets were picked up into the air.
"Magical leaf!"
"Celebi!" Celebi shouted as she unleashed the colorful leaves into the air, hitting all of the targets and cutting them apart.
"Nice shot, you got them all."
"Bi!"
Kaoru and Quinn were nearby with their cubs.
"Alright Summer what can you do?" Kaoru asked as her cub looked up at her.
"Use Tackle!"
Summer sat there looking at her, tilting his head.
Kaoru sweat dropped.
"Any luck Quinn?"
Quinn was watching as Snow and Eevee chased each other around.
"Great." Kaoru said.
"I'm sure we'll figure it out eventually." Quinn said.
Unknown to the three, a shady figure was hiding in the bushes.
He was looking at Emily and Celebi in particular.
Moments later Emily heard something land near her. She looked down and saw it looked like a grenade.
"Ahhh!" Emily kicked the grenade away before it went off, knocking them all to the ground.
Celebi watched in horror before a metal net flew out and ensnared her.
"Bi!"
Emily got up and saw a man wearing a team rocket uniform sprint over and grab Celebi's net.
"Celebi!" Emily and the others got up and chased after him.
"Stop!"
The rocket member tossed another grenade back as Emily drew a wind character and blew it forward, the explosion knocking them to the ground again.
The rocket member breathed deeply as he got away from them.
"A Celebi, how lucky can a guy." He started before he heard growling.
The man drew a gun and saw what it was.
The group heard a series of gunshots and rushed over to see Celebi free and the Rocket man on the ground with his gun gut in half, and his hands cuffed behind his back.
Standing over him was a man in his mid twenties. He had light skin, short black hair, and very dark brown eyes. He wore a black paramilitary-law enforcement like uniform with golden shoulder areas and a golden area of the chest to the side.
On the chest areas was a patch that said S.P.D.
"You're under arrest." He said in a strong voice.
"Celebi!" Celebi shouted as she flew back over to Emily.
The man turned to them.
"Hold it, stay away from that Celebi."
"It's alright, she's mine." Emily said showing her pokeball.
"What? You caught a Celebi?"
"Who are you?"
The man took out a Dekaranger license.
"Nathan Kruger, S.P.D. I'm here looking for team rocket."
"S.P.D, like Jack and Arkanes's parents." Quinn said.
Emily noticed that there was something off about Nathan's eyes, she couldn't put her her hand on it, but something was up.
"Thank you for helping Celebi."
"It's just my job."
The rocket member smiled as he opened part of his wrist, revealing it to be mechanical and pressed a button.
A blast nearby knocked them all to their feet as the man got up and ran.
Nathan saw this and got up with a pokeball.
"Go Lycanroc!"
To the group's surprise, a Dusk Lycanroc came out and snarled.
"Get him boy!"
The Lycanroc sprinted after the rocket member and snatched his arm before the man broke free of the cuffs and pushed Lycanroc back. Lycanroc ripping skin off the arm and revealing it was cybernetic.
The man turned as the three looked horrified.
He aimed his mechanical hand at them as a gun came out.
"Emergency Dekaranger!"
Nathan drew a sword and leapt in front of the three, slashing the bullets away. They saw he was now wearing black dekaranger armor with gold shoulder armor, chest edges, bracers, lower leg pads, and helmet, his helmet having wolf ear shaped tops and a visor with the SPD symbol on the forehead. On his chest was a 300.
"Dekamaster Gold!" He shouted as the rocket member looked terrified.
He fired again, but Nathan knocked them away before leaping forward and cutting the cybernetic arm clean off.
The man fell to his knees before Lycanroc knocked him to the ground, Nathan holding his sword to the man's head.
"Don't make this worse on yourself."
He got on his license and made a call. A few minutes later a police car arrived and took the rocket man away.
"You are a Dekaranger!" Emily shouted as Nathan turned.
"I am. I suppose I never asked who you three are?"
"Emily."
"Quinn."
"Kaoru, we're Shinkengers." Kaoru said before Emily pushed her back.
"Quinn and I are Shinkengers."
"Really, do you have a Jack and Arkanes in your group?"
"Yes! You know their parents!?" Quinn asked.
Nathan nodded.
"Well, I didn't think I'd run into the Shinkengers. But since I have I would like to ask how they're doing."
"They're doing well." Kaoru said.
"Good to hear it, have you encountered team Rocket before this?"
Quinn nodded.
"If you do see more of them, please contact us, team Rocket is getting bolder here in Johto."
The three nodded.
At the end of the day, the three and their pokemon returned to the Leviathan, the group exchanging stories on what happened.
"So we can train them." Kaoru said in relief.
"You saw Nathan?" Jack said.
Quinn nodded.
"Who was he?" Emily asked.
"He's the son of our parents' old boss." Arkanes said.
"If he's here then Team Rocket's resurfacing is getting serious." Jack said.
Takeru nodded.
"We should keep our eyes opened."
Elsewhere in another location, Nathan was on his license.
"Sis, yeah I got another one. No just cybernetics, no mutants yet. I think I'm enough for now Amber, if I need help I'll call you. Ok, give mom and dad my love, yes Mewtwo as well."
Late at night, Jon and Daenerys's sailing boat had anchored down. They were on the deck with a golden and emerald Green Draco in front of each.
"You didn't need to call yourself Jon my love."
"It's better I go by it, Aegon isn't exactly a normal name."
"Neither is Daenerys."
The massive green Draco lowered his head to Jon as he petted his head.
"Alright Rhaegal, time for bed." Jon said returning him.
"You to VIserion." Daenerys said returning the golden Draco.
The two walked below deck and into their quarters where they saw Ghost asleep on the foot of a large king sized bed.
The chamber was large enough to hold Drogon, who took up much of it as he laid around, his head on the bed's head. The bed's covers were artificial pelt like.
"You think we should have told them about it?" Jon asked as he removed his shirt and trousers.
"Not yet, when the time is right." Daenerys said removing her own garbs and underwear.
The two climbed into the bed with Daenerys resting herself on Jon's chest.
"When would that be?" Jon asked, his hand moving from her back to her large rear end.
Daenerys smiled.
"You'll know when." She said before kissing him.
Author's note
