A/N: Sorry I haven't been updating as much, I've been wasting my time on Smackdown! vs. Raw 2006. The quiz answer is a high 79(nowhere near 14, YF2), 7 MMPR, 6 Ninja, 5 Alien, 6 Zeo, 6 Turbo, 6 Space, 5 LG, 6 LR, 6 TF, 6 WF, 6 NS, 5 DT, and 9 SPD. If anyone has any queries on these, please don't hesitate to contact me, as I enjoy conversations like that. Ruby Vulpix, I asked for an e-mail address, so I can reply, otherwise I seem like a real git when I completely ignore you, so I've had to disable my anonymous reviews again, but I've put my e-mail address up, so if you want yours to remain private, just let me know and I'll still answer you in e-mail. Again, I apologize if my fashion sense is once again proven to be terrible here, but I don't have one anyway, and just wear what I want. Chapter 2 of Donny and Carl's misadventures is up, by the way. Man I've said a lot.
Chapter 20; Digleminer Disaster
After several weeks of hanging out together, Anna and Sabrina decided Rei needed to do the one thing in the world she hated and feared more than anything else…clothes shopping.
"NO! You can't make me!" she screamed as the other two dragged her kicking and screaming.
"We can and will," Anna said toughly.
"But - but I went last year!" Rei complained.
"Yeah, and came out of it with what you have on now," Sabrina said with a raised eyebrow. Rei was wearing the same torn jeans and basketball jersey she had when she and Sabrina first met.
"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" Rei asked, both defensively and hurt.
"Well, for one thing, they haven't been in style since my parents day-" Sabrina said.
"And believe me, that was a VERY long time ago," Anna put in, seeing as it hadn't been "Sabrina's parents day" for 12 decades.
"-And those are all in terrine condition, and don't come close to fitting you," Sabrina said.
"But I like what I wear! Why do I have to wear what you guys say?" Rei asked, as they found a rack and started searching for clothes.
"Because, we have at least some fashion sense. Here, try these on," Anna said, handing Rei some clothes.
"But I don't care about what's fashionable, and - hey! You know, this isn't two bad," Rei said, pinning the clothes against herself. She had a blue mid-length skirt with yellow rim, and a matching t-shirt with bubbles on it.
As the girls went to try on more clothes than they would be able to afford in their lives, a certain someone was plotting more pathetic and pointless plans, as always.
At Nyura's castle…
"SKETCH! All these monsters and plans you've been coming up with have been pathetic and pointless!" Nyura shrieked, copying me almost word for word.
"B-but my Queen! You have been coming up with the plans! I just made the monsters as you asked!" Sketch said, extremely bravely for him, but his bravery earned him a Rock Throw from Sudos.
"Never lie to our Queen!" he roared.
"Yes! You made the monsters, and the plans. Luckily, I have one of my own. Earthquakes are fun, so I've come up with a monster that can cause them by the bucket load, and not feel their effects. Sketch! Weren't you listening? I want this monster NOW!" Nyura yelled, as Sketch emerged from the rocks, extremely beaten.
"Eh?" Sketch managed to get out.
Shortly after, just as the girls were going to pay for several of the hundreds of clothes they had tried on, when guess what? There was an Earthquake.
"Everybody, stay calm!" the girls yelled, whilst everyone ran and in fell in panic around them. Over the noise, however, they still managed to hear their morphers.
"Anna here, what's up?" Anna asked.
"Oh dear! Earthquake!" Miborg cried.
"Yeah, we kinda guessed," Sabrina said.
"Yes, but its not natural, another monster is causing it! Just outside the department store!" Miborg yelled.
"Well that's convenient," Sabrina said, and she and Anna hurried to the stairs, rather than doing the sensible thing and teleporting, leaving Rei to try to restore order.
When they arrived at the exit, they saw the other Rangers had already arrived, and Kris had morphed.
"Hey guys. What is that!" Sabrina asked, looking at the monster next to Krowa. Its head was a Diglett(that was almost entirely covered by a miners hat, you know, the ones with the little lights on? I have one of them), but that was where the similarities ended. It had a round but muscular body, and was covered in dirt, with huge metal claws.
"It's called the Digleminer," Krowa, said, with what would be a grin if she had a mouth.
"Show them what you can do," she added, taking flight.
"My pleasure!" Digleminer answered in a rough voice, and it caused another Earthquake, which sent the Rangers to the ground.
"Ok guys, lets not waste any more time. Ready?" Eddie asked, getting up.
"Ready!" the others answered as they got up.
"Morph, I choose you! Johto Ranger power!"
"Bring it!" Krowa crowed, as Armens appeared and rushed at the Rangers. Eddie and Kris found there way around them, fighting them off when needed, and Eddie attacked Digleminer, and Kris fought Krowa.
"Ok everyone! Weapons, ready! Cinder Sabre!" Eddie yelled, and his weapon appeared in his hands.
"Psychic Shooter!"
"Wave Blade!"
"Thunder Stunner!"
"Vine Whip!"
"Wing Blades!"
"Super Poke Cannon!" they yelled, forming their weapon.
"Ready! Aim!" Eddie yelled, but just as they fired, Digleminer vanished into the ground, with Krowa right behind him.
"Did we get him?" Greg asked, but when the smoke cleared, they saw the hole Digleminer had left.
"Nuts! Ok, power down," Eddie sighed, and he and the others demorphed, except Kris.
"You wanna demorph?" Eddie asked him.
"Actually, uh, when Miborg called, I was only just getting dressed, so I kinda morphed in my underwear," Kris answered, clearly embarrassed. The girls blushed and tried hard to conceal their laughter, whilst the boys let it all out.
"O-ok, we'll see you later," Kurtis chuckled, and Kris teleported home.
"Is it me, or are Nyura's monsters getting tougher?" Anna asked Sabrina, as they headed back into the store to find Rei.
"Its not you. Nyura's definitely doing something different now. Lets ask Miborg and Celebi later," Sabrina answered, as they stepped onto the floor they had been on. Utter chaos met their eyes, with Rei and the clothes she had been going to buy around her in tatters at the centre of it.
"Pure…evil!" Rei gasped, indicating everyone else around her, before she fainted. Anna and Sabrina left to let her sort it out herself.
Later, the girls, accompanied by a fully dressed Kris went to the Sanctuary…
"Nyura's monsters are getting stronger each time, do you know why that might be, guys?" Sabrina asked.
"I dunno. Sure, they might be tougher, but they don't seem much stronger than they've always been," Kris said.
"Yeah, but you didn't face some of her first monsters, they were easy! We beat one with the Shooter Swords!" Anna said.
"Hmm. I see two possibilities. Either Nyura made her previous monsters, and possibly her current ones weaker than she is able, because she underestimated you. Or she has now been enabled to make her monsters more powerful. Possibly by drawing power from the Tyranitar Zord," Celebi said, just as the danger alarm went off.
"Oh dear! Digleminer is back! North of the city!" Miborg cried in panic.
"Right. Ready?" Kris asked.
"Ready!"
"Morph, I choose you!"
"White Dragonite power!"
"Yellow Ampharos power!"
"Pink Espeon power!"
"The Rangers teleported with Miborg's coordinates, and the others joined them a moment later.
"You guys again!" Digleminer cried in annoyance.
"Yes, they turn up a lot whenever you don't want them too," Krowa said in disgust.
"Well let's put an end to that!" Digleminer yelled, and it stomped, causing an Earthquake, causing the Rangers to fall down.
"I've had enough of this guy! Greg, Kurtis, go for it!" Eddie yelled.
"Right! Wave Blade! Bubblebeam!"
"Vine Whip! Giga Drain!"
The Rangers shot their attacks at Digleminer, but for all the good they did, they may as well have shot bubbles(wait, didn't they do that?).
"Armens!" Krowa cried, and Armens teleported, already running towards the Rangers.
"Shooter Swords!" the other Rangers yelled, and they took on the Armens, whilst Kurtis and Greg fought their way through them, towards Digleminer to fight him.
"One, two, three four, five - once I caught a fish alive!" Sabrina sung, losing concentration as her sword killed on contact with the Armens.
"Focus, Sabrina!" Eddie yelled, blasting the Armens to dust.
"I kinda feel bad for the guys, their fights gotta be harder!" Anna said, striking more Armens down.
"No challenge!" Digleminer cried, as he knocked Greg and Kurtis down repeatedly.
"Need some help!" Kris asked, as he kicked Digleminer from above, but Krowa came from higher and kicked him down.
"This is bad!" Greg cried, as they all grouped together.
"What do we do? He's too tough for us!" Eddie said in agreement.
"Come on guys! We can beat him! We need to combine our power!" Sabrina yelled.
"All right!" the others agreed, and they got back up.
"What, you want some more?" Digleminer asked, and Krowa fell into a fit of hysterics.
"Right…lets do this! Flamethrower!"
"Leaf Blade!"
"Water Pulse!"
"Shock Wave!"
"Psybeam!"
"Dragon Claw!"
The six attacks combined in the air, forming one huge blast of energy, at least equal in strength to the blast of the Poke Cannon. As Digleminer had been completely unaware of the Rangers plan, he was caught off guard, and caught in the blast.
"All right!" the Rangers yelled, as Krowa mysteriously vanished.
"The battles not over yet, Rangers!" Nyura cackled from her castle, using yet another Ice Beam.
"Don't forget me!" Krowa yelled, appearing in the Tyranitar Megazord.
"Great. Zord time, guys," Eddie cried, jumping into the Typhlosion Zord.
"When'd that get here?" Kris asked.
"Same time they did!" Anna said, referring to the other Johto Zords, as she and the others jumped in theirs.
"Right. Dragonite Zord!" Kris yelled, and he jumped in his when it arrived.
"Johto Dragon Megazord, power up!" the Rangers called, and the six Zords combined into one.
"You still don't stand a chance! Earthquake!" Digleminer cried, and he shook both Megazords, and the Johto Dragon Megazord fell.
"Hey! That gives me an idea! Earthquake affects everyone in the battle, right?" Anna asked.
"Yeah, just like a natural earthquake affects everyone around, so?" Greg asked.
"And when you can fly, you can avoid it, and they can both use it, and we can fly," Anna continued.
"Yeah, so?" Greg asked again, earning a light hit from Kurtis for his stupidity.
"Activate megaphone," Kris said, holding down a button.
"Hey you two, your Earthquake attacks are pathetic! They couldn't even beat a Weedle!" Kris' voice boomed.
"Is that so?" Krowa asked rhetorically.
"What! I'll show them!" Digleminer yelled angrily.
"Earthquake!" they both yelled, simultaneously using the same attack, causing the other to fall, whilst the Megazord flew in the air.
"Gets them every time," Kris said smugly.
"Lets finish this! Seismic Toss!" Greg yelled, and the Megazord picked up Digleminer, flew high in the air, and threw it to the ground.
"Frenzy Plant!" Kurtis yelled, and huge, thick roots grew from the Megazords feet, which wrapped around and crushed the Digleminer.
"No! Not again! This isn't the end, Poke Rangers!" Krowa yelled, as the Dark Ball swooped down and returned the Tyranitar Megazord.
Later, at Golden Youths…
"So what do you guys think?" Rei asked. She'd managed to find the clothes she'd originally wanted again, and although she'd had to fight for them, she'd won, and was now showing them off.
Before any of them could answer however, Donny walked into her as he wasn't paying attention to where he was going(as usual), and spilled drinks all over her new clothes.
"Yeah. Very nice," Kurtis laughed, whilst a furious look appeared on Rei's face, and she called out all four of her pokemon to attack the poor boy, who ran around and screamed like a little girl.
Meanwhile, at Nyura's castle…
"Once again, you have failed me Sketch. I should dispose of you now," Nyura said, for once acting calmly about her anger.
"B-but my Queen! It was your plan!" Sketch complained nervously.
"SILENCE! Luckily, I've recently made a new friend, who is more than willing to help us defeat the Poke Rangers," Nyura said mysteriously.
A/N: This stuff just writes itself… Anyway, I've got another quiz. This one requires you to read between the lines. Who is the only Ranger so far who is going to be paired up with a character that isn't in the fic currently? This quiz will also be very revealing. Seeing as this chapter doesn't happen to be character focused, Rei will be replying to your reviews today, because she isn't going to be specifically involved in a chapter for a while.
Coming soon: Chapter 21; Oh Brother.
See ya!
