A/N: I apologize for the lateness. Apparently the decision of changing the opening song at the halfway point was a very tough choice but after a lot of deliberation, I've decided to leave the opening song alone.
Julia: "Last time on Poké Rangers: Lost Zone..."
The Poké Rangers have split up into three groups as they have a break in Hoenn. Taking advantage of the situation, three Monsters were sent after them but none of the attacks were successful.
Meanwhile, BoneShaman is still alive, though Plusorb and Minnet have decided to leave him, claiming that BoneShaman is cramping their style.
At the same time, Naomi has developed a new weapon for her to use while an old foe attempted to eliminate ZeroMew, only to learn about his true power...
[21. The Nightmare in Canalave]
The S.S. SeaBlade is now docked at Canalave City in Sinnoh.
David, Sarah, Riku and Emma are at the dock.
"I can't believe your Great Uncle Alan passed away," said Sarah.
"While it's nice to collect our inheritance, I still don't understand why they use the cliché of staying one night at the haunted house just to get it."
"Technically, it's an inn, so it's not so cliché," Emma said.
Riku frowns. "Still, does it have to be the old haunted Canalave Harbor Inn?"
Sarah rolls her eyes. "You two are Poké Rangers. What is there to be afraid of?"
"It's not about being afraid," said Riku. "It's more of how much Julia will complain how much of a cliché the idea is for Emma and I to stay in the haunted inn to get our inheritance."
"Tell you what, guys. We'll have the Halloween party at the Harbor Inn instead of having it on the SeaBlade. That way, Julia will think it was made to be haunted just for the night.
Riku rubs his chin. "We'll probably ask the lawyer about it when we see him."
As the twins leave the Dock, David looks at Sarah. "Why aren't you going with them? Don't you need to collect the inheritance as well?"
Sarah crossed her arms. "We're maternal cousins and since their Great Uncle Alan is on their father's side. Still, staying one night at the haunted Harbor Inn might be a good excuse to have a Halloween party there."
David nods. "Well, I'm going to take Red King out for a bit of a run just outside the City. It's been a while since he last had a run around."
Claire: "A Mew was banished from this world by Arceus hundreds of years ago, until he was set free six months ago. The only ones who can protect the world from him are..."
The Six Rangers activate their Morphers.
"Poké Rangers: Lost Zone!"
Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Black and Indigo Poké Rangers are fully morphed.
Alright let's go, it's time to turn it on,
The Red Ranger rides the Rapidash Rider, as the screen changes to David in his civilian clothes holding his Blazing Spears.
We set the record straight, we're gonna come through to right the wrong,
(Yeah!)
The Yellow Ranger rides the Storm Rider Cycle, as the screen transitions to Julia in her civilian clothes wearing her Storm Gaunlets as she winks at the camera.
Fight evil, Ranger powers standing strong,
The Blue Ranger rides on Iron Flygon as it flies through the sky, as the screen switches over to an unmorphed Claire holding her Emperor Claws.
We got it going on,
(Lost Zone, E-ner-gize!)
The Green Ranger drives the Empoleon Humvee, as the screen changes to an unmorphed Dice holding his Leaf Sabers.
We won't let down, cause we're gonna set the pace.
The Indigo Ranger flies the Z-Jet Mk. II as it does a barrel roll in the sky, switching over to Riku in his civilian clothes holding his Psycho Bazooka as he fires a shot at the camera.
We're always on the case, putting that Mew in his place,
(Yeah!)
The Black Ranger drives the DoomCruiser, switching over to Emma in her civilian clothes as she kisses her Umbreon helmet while holding her Lunar Fan.
Bad guys keep messing with their every move,
Kyle, Alexis and Sarah are on the deck of the SeaBlade
Poké Rangers never lose, always gonna show us through!
Storm suddenly jumps onto Alexis's head.
Stop these rangers,
Here there's no need to fret,
ZeroMew, his four Generals and Naomi are facing BoneShaman, Plusorb and Minnet on a grassy field.
We're the ones that will make a way,
Here to make change,
Plusorb and Minnet charge towards ZeroMew's group.
When there's trouble we don't quit,
Come together to save the day,
Naomi morphs into the White Latias Ranger, engulfing the field in a bright light causing the screen to shatter.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go!
The Red Ranger swings his Blazing Spears, creating an explosion that defeats a group of BlackChops surrounding him.
Here Come The Poké Rangers, (Yeah!)
Here Come The Poké Rangers, (Yeah!)
The Yellow Ranger performs a flip with her LZ Blaster in her hand, accurately shooting at the BlackChops before perfectly landing on her feet.
Here Come The Poké Rangers,
(Lost Zone, E-ner-gize!) (Yeah!)
The Blue Ranger performs a spin, swinging her Emperor Claws to form a vortex around the BlackChops, sending them flying off.
Here Come The Poké Rangers, (Yeah!)
Here Come The Poké Rangers, (Yeah!)
The Green Ranger jumps up as he swings his Leaf Saber at the jumping BlackChops, striking them down.
Here Come The Poké Rangers,
(Go, go, go, go, yeah!)
The Indigo Ranger creates an illusion substitute of himself that confuses the BlackChops before defeating them with a few shots form his Psycho Bazooka.
Here Come The Poké Rangers, (Yeah!)
Here Come The Poké Rangers, (Yeah!)
The Black Ranger swings her Lunar Fan, creating a black Tornado that sends the BlackChops flying away.
Here Come The Poké Rangers,
Poké Rangers: Lost Zone!
(Short Instrumental Solo)
The K-Bird and S-Dragon Megazords pose next to each other.
The J-Beast and H-Weather Megazords pose next to each other
Here Come The Poké Rangers, (Yeah!)
Here Come The Poké Rangers, (Yeah!)
The six Rangers pose in front of the four Megazords.
Here Come The Poké Rangers,
Poké Rangers: Lost Zone!
Julia and Sarah are having a sparring session in the Dojo as Storm sits in front of the TV, watching the news.
[Pokémon News]
Newsreader: "And fight fans eager for the so-called Thriller in Eterna. Champion Blenox Lewis will take on underdog Brocky Ramboa.
In the news, two Hitmonchans (one Shiny) are at a pre-fight press conference with their Trainers in front of the cameras.
[Blennox Blewis - Defending Champion]
The Shiny Hitmonchan holding the champion belt is in front of the cameras.
"I'm going to win, do you know what I mean? Yeah? If you know what: I'm gonna probably put him down in two, you know what I mean? You know, Brocky... he ain't gonna win, you know what I mean? Yeah? You know what I mean? Yeah?"
[Brocky Ramboa - Challenger]
The challenger is now being interviewed as he mumbles to the microphone.
"TheysaythatIdon'tstandachanceand..."
Back in the Dojo, Julia throws a punch at Sarah, who promptly catches the fist. "Not even close."
Sarah flings Julia over her head, causing Julia to spin in the air. Julia safely lands on her feet.
"Good, but you can do better."
Julia nods as she performs a jumping kick at Sarah. Sarah dodges the kick, grabs Julia's leg and swings her towards the wall of the dojo. Julia recovers and lands her feet onto the walls before launching herself off the wall, flying towards Sarah.
Sarah bends over backwards to avoid Julia as the Yellow Ranger rolls on the ground back to her feet. Sarah calmly straightens herself. "I think we've done enough Aura training for one day. Besides, we have a party to prepare for."
Julia nods. "Yeah, I got to get the food and drinks for tonight."
Riku, Emma and the inheritance lawyer are standing at the entrance to the old Canalave Harbor Inn.
"So, any questions?" asked the Lawyer.
"Yeah, is it alright if we have our Halloween party on the night we're staying at the hotel?" Emma asked.
The lawyer simply shrugged. "Well, according to the Will, all you need to do is stay at the Harbor Inn for one night. It never stated what you can or cannot do during the night so what you do is at your discretion. Any more questions?"
Riku raises a hand. "Yeah, is it your policy to let people stay in haunted houses to get their inheritance?"
The lawyer sighs. "You do not want to know how many times I get that question. And to answer it, no, we don't usually follow that Cliché. Oh yeah, before I forget, your Great Uncle also left these for you when you stay over at the Harbor Inn."
The lawyer hands over a box to each twin. "He said that it would keep the nightmares away from you during your stay."
The twins open their respective boxes and they each find a rock and a message from their uncle.
"I got a rock from NewMoon Island," said Emma. "What about you?"
Riku laughs. "My rock is from FullMoon Island. I'm guessing that since we're both complete opposites for twins, Great Uncle Alan must think it's a meaningful gift for us."
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Canalave at Route 218, David is riding Red King, his Rapidash.
"Just a few more laps and we can take a quick break."
David looks ahead and spots a group of BlackChops standing a Pyramid formation with some BlackChops standing on the lower BlackChops' shoulders.
David forces his Rapidash to a complete stop. "Well, that's one way to get my attention. Are you guys trying out for a cheerleading position or something?"
Another platoon of BlackChops quickly surrounds David and his Rapidash. "Guess I'm expected. Sorry, Red King, but I don't want you to get hurt."
David pulls out his Poké Ball to recall his Rapidash. Once the Rapidash is recalled, a BlackChop quickly lands a hit on David's hand, forcing him to drop the Poké Ball.
"Damn!" David quickly kicks away the BlackChop before it could collect the Poké Ball.
Suddenly, the BlackChops quickly pile themselves on top of David before he could recover his Poké Ball. With David completely distracted, one of the loose BlackChops quickly steals the Poké Ball and disappears within a seal. "No, Red King! Now you've made me angry! Lost Zone, Energize!"
Using all his strength, David pushes his way through the crowding and activates his PokéGear Morpher. The shockwave from the morphing sends the BlackChops flying away as a very furious Red Ranger stands up. "You've just earned a one way ticket to facing my full fury! Let's Prime It Up!"
The spirit of a Groudon engulfs the Red Ranger. The flames on the Red Ranger suit disappear as the black Groudon symbols cover the Red Ranger's suit. The Charizard Helmet undergoes a metamorphosis into a Groudon Helmet.
David takes a few steps forward, each step David takes causes the ground to shake. "Prime Mode: Blazing Red Groudon Ranger!'
The alarm is ringing on the SeaBlade as Claire, Dice and Kyle are in the bridge. "
"There's seismic activity on Route 218 cause by a huge outburst of LZ energy," Kyle explains.
"Is it one of ZeroMew or BoneShaman's goons?" Claire asks.
Kyle shakes his head. "Nope, it's David causing the quakes."
On the satellite feed, David is brutally beating up the BlackChops as the Red Groudon Ranger.
"It looks like whatever those BlackChops did pissed him off big time," said Claire. "Dice, we better get moving. The last thing we want is for him to accidentally demolish Canalave."
Back on Route 218, David eliminates the last BlackChop as Claire and Dice arrive. Since there are no more targets to vent his fury, David demorphs out of his Ranger suit.
Claire looks around at the devastated environment. "Whoa, this is what you get when you combine Groudon's power with someone who is out of control."
"What happened?" asked Dice.
David is breathing heavily. "They took...my Rapidash, Red King."
Claire frowns. "It had to be Naomi. She's the only one who would benefit from kidnapping your Rapidash."
"Why does she need my Rapidash?"
Claire crosses her arms. "That, I do not know."
David walks towards Jubilife. "I need to walk for a bit. I need to clear my head. I don't know when I'll be back, but don't worry about me."
Before Dice could say anything, Claire stops him. "It's best if we leave him be for now. He'll eventually calm down."
"But we can't just sit around and do nothing when we don't know what is happening to his Rapidash. Even I think that kidnapping one of his Pokémon is a bit too much. We have to do something."
"I'll worry about that," said Claire. "For now, let's just go to the Harbor Inn and inform the twins about what happened."
At the Canalave Inn, Dice and Claire have updated Emma and Riku on the current situation.
"I can't believe that they would resort to kidnapping David's Rapidash," said Dice. "Any idea what Naomi's plans are?"
Claire crosses her arms. "I'm guessing that it must be an experiment involving the Lost Zone; otherwise she it would be pointless to kidnap a live test subject. Anyway, we'll need to let David cool off, so it's best if we don't worry about him for now and let him come back on his own time."
The other Rangers nod. "Anyway, shall we get back to planning the Halloween party?" Emma asks.
Claire nods. "Julia and Sarah have gone off to get the food and drinks, so the rest of us will deal with the decorations and cleaning."
In a large room in the Inn where the party is going to take place, Dice is cleaning a mirror while Riku is sweeping the floor.
Riku puts the broom down. "Okay, that's the floor done. Now I'm going to give the table a bit of a clean so that we can put the food there."
As Riku picks up a spray bottle, he notices that the contents are empty. "Damn, I'm going out to get some more cleaning products. I won't be gone for too long."
"Sure thing," said Dice.
Once Riku has left the room, Dice continues to clean the mirror. Suddenly, a group of BlackChops with decaying bodies enter the room.
"What the hell? Zombies in a deserted building? Isn't that taking this Halloween joke a bit too far?" Dice opens his PokéGear Morpher. "Still, an army of Zombie BlackChops means that it must be the work of that idiot BoneShaman. Lost Zone, Energize!
Nothing happens. "What the?" Dice immediately tries to contact Claire. "Claire, I have a problem over here!" No reply.
"This is not looking good for me. Guess there only one thing I can do in a Survival Horror situation like this..."
Dice runs towards the window and makes a suicidal jump out of it. However, on the other side of the Glass is another room in the inn instead of the outside of the Canalave Inn. "Damn it! And I thought it was going to be easy. Looks like I'm trapped in the building!"
Dice runs out of the room as he desperately tries to find a place to hide with the Zombies slowly chase after him. He reaches a dead end, with the only door leading to the toilet.
"Seriously, what the (beep) is going on?" Seeing no other choice, Dice quickly runs into the toilet and enter one of the cubicles, locking it from the inside.
"I hope Riku gets back and find me not cleaning."
Dice could hear the Zombie BlackChops breaking down the door to the toilet and it's only a matter of time before they find him in the cubicle.
Dice clenches his fist, ready for a fight to the death. However, a minute passed and nothing happened. There was complete silence and there wasn't even the sound of the Zombie BlackChops shuffling around, searching for their target.
'That's strange. It's quiet, a bit too quiet.' Dice looks at the cubicle door. 'Either those Zombies are gone or I must have been hearing things.'
Dice opens the door by a slight crack. The first face he sees is a decaying BlackChop's open mouth, causing Dice to scream.
It just happens that as Dice is screaming, BlackChop's tongue hits Dice's tongue as he screams in fear. Once Dice realized that he has traded saliva with a Zombie Blackchop, Dice's fear changes into disgust.
"Bleh, zombie saliva! Yuck!" Dice spits into the toilet bowl as the Zombies burst into the cubicle and grab him. One of the Zombie BlackChops pushes Dice's head into the toilet bowl. "Wait a minute, aren't you supposed to eat my flesh, not push my head into the toilet bowl?"
The Zombie BlackChop pulls Dice's tongue out of his mouth and forces Dice to lick the insides of the toilet bowl.
"No frigging way! If thish ish a joke, it'sh not funny!" Dice screams while his tongue is dangerously close to the unhygienic insides of the toilet bowl.
Riku is walking back to the room when he hears Dice's scream. Sensing danger, Riku drops everything he is holding and runs to the room. "Damn, what did Dice get himself into this time?"
Instead of finding an enemy, Riku sees Dice lying on the floor rolling around, screaming, "Don't make me lick the toilet bowl! No!"
Floating above him is a black cloaked figure holding a scythe. Under that black cloak is a glowing eye. "It seems that someone has decided to spoil my fun."
Riku puts on his Shade Morpher. "Who are you?"
The creature quickly disappears before Riku could get a reply. With the danger gone, Riku quickly tries to wake Dice up, but he remains trapped in his nightmare.
"Looks like I need Claire's help for this," Riku mumbled.
Meanwhile, Alexis, Emma and Claire are in another room working on the decorations as they hear Dice's screams. Both Rangers calmly ignore the screams. "You know, maybe we should make a new ice cream flavor for Halloween," Emma suggests.
"And what would you call it?" Claire asks.
"Dice Screams," replied Emma.
Both girls laugh as they gave each other a hi-five.
"So, you think we should call Julia to bring the food soon?"
Riku runs into the room. "Claire, Emma, we got a monster problem."
Claire looks at Alexis. "Go. I'll finish off the decorations," said Alexis.
The three rangers return to the room where Riku left Dice screaming. When they enter the room, to their surprise, Dice is awake and standing.
"What the... You're awake? I thought you were trapped in a nightmare caused by a Ghost-Type monster," said Riku.
Dice frowns. "Well I figured that out when I had the nightmare with the zombie BlackChops making me lick the toilet bowl. I don't even want to remember it..."
"Ewww," said Emma. "I guess that's why you were screaming. Someone certainly has a sick sense of humor that has gone too far."
Claire looks around. "Be cautious. That monster could still be here. Don't drop your guard..."
Suddenly, zombie BlackChops burst through the door.
"Guess we know BoneShaman is behind this. Spirit of the Espeon!"
"Spirit of the Umbreon!"
The twins unleash their Espeon and Umbreon spirits as the two Pokémon spirits attack the Zombie BlackChops, knocking them down. The Zombies BlackChops quickly recover from the attacks.
"I had enough of this. I'll let you taste the wrath of a Kyogre!" Claire opens her Poké Gear Morpher. Lost Zone, Energize!" Claire activates her PokéGear morpher but instead of Claire morphing into the Blue Ranger, a Blue Empoleon Ranger appears in front of Claire. "What the...?"
The Blue Ranger turns around and throws a punch at Claire, forcing her to block the punch that sends her flying back to a wall. The Zombie BlackChops surround the four Rangers as a Dusknoir wearing a purple cloak and holding a scythe appears in the room.
"I am DuskReaper 13." The Dusknoir monster laughs. "You four are now trapped in my nightmare, which is why you are unable to morph in this place!"
He swings his scythe at the neck of the Blue Ranger. Before the blade could touch the fake Blue Ranger's neck, the fake disappears. "Though it would have been nice to see you scream in your Ranger suits, I would rather play it safe and stay alive than face you at your full strength."
Outside the dream, the real DuskReaper 13 looks down at the four sleeping Poké Rangers lying down on the room floor. 'Hee hee hee, four Rangers are now trapped in my nightmare. I knew it was a good idea to leave let the purple Ranger lure the other two into my trap. Victory is mine. I can deal with the other two once I'm done here.'
In the dream world, DuskReaper 13 points his scythe at the four Rangers. "Do you know that if you had been morphed while you sleep, your powers would be brought here, like the clothes you are wearing right now? Unfortunately for you, if I kill you here while you're unmorphed, you will die. And as an added precaution, I have trapped you deep in your subconscious where the power of the Lost Zone can't even reach."
Riku and Emma look at the Espeon and Umbreon spirits, who are with them in their dream. 'And yet we brought our Pokémon Spirits into our dreams,' thought Riku. Thinking the same thing, Emma said, "Maybe all is not lost."
The twins put on their Shade Morphers as their respective Pokémon spirits return to their bodies.
"It's naive for you to even try to morph in this dream," said DuskReaper 13.
The twins activate their Morphers. "Lost Zone, Energize!" Riku morphs into the Espeon Ranger while Emma morphs into the Umbreon Ranger.
DuskReaper is shocked to see the Espeon and Umbreon Rangers. "Impossible! How can they morph in this dream where they can't even tap into the Lost Zone?"
"You're the one who is naive, DuskReaper 13," Claire calmly said. "Unfortunately for you, they also brought their Morphers into the dream and after learning from my mistakes when the Cyborgs shorted out the Morphers, I've added a new feature unique to the Shade Morpher Version 2.0 in the event that the twins are unable to tap into the powers of the Lost Zone. The Morphers will draw their power from their Aura, something that they can take into their dream that could be used as an alternate power source..."
Suddenly, the Indigo and Black Ranger are engulfed by auras of their respective colors as the boxes in their possession suddenly appear in front of them and opens up, revealing a rock in each box, one rock emitting a purple aura while the other emits a black aura.
"Well, what do you know? Great Uncle Alan is right. These rocks do keep away the nightmares," said Riku as he takes his rock that originated from Full Moon Island as Emma takes the rock from New Moon Island.
Emma and Riku turn their attention to DuskReaper 13. "Sorry, but we're turning this dream into your nightmare," said Emma. "Let's Prime It Up!"
The spirit of a Darkrai engulfs the Black Ranger. The yellow rings on Emma's wrists and legs disappear into the black suit as a red spiky growth appears around Emma's neck. Emma's Umbreon helmet undergoes a metamorphosis, gaining a small white plume on the helmet, with only one visible blue eye on the helmet, becoming the Darkrai helmet.
The eye on Emma's Darkrai helmet glows as Emma appears out of the darkness. "Prime Mode: Black Void Darkrai Ranger!"
The spirit of a Cresselia engulfs the Indigo Ranger. The scarf disappears as the main torso of the Ranger suit turns yellow with blue stripes on the side while the arms retain its original purple color. Riku's Espeon helmet undergoes a metamorphosis as it gains the top of the helmet forms two crescent moon shapes to form the Cresselia helmet."
Riku levitates over the ground as he unleashes a powerful shockwave using telekinesis. "Prime Mode: Indigo Crescent Cresselia Ranger!"
DuskReaper 13 points his Scythe at the two Rangers. "Attack the Rangers before they ruin this nightmare, my minions!"
With one swing of his hand, Riku instantly causes the Zombie BlackChops to disappear. "Sorry, but using Cresselia's powers, I can dispel nightmares."
"No!" screams DuskReaper 13.
The Darkrai Ranger grabs DuskReaper 13 by the neck from behind, causing him to drop his scythe. "How about this for a bad dream? I bet you've never encountered a real Darkrai in your life, so let's show you what a real nightmare looks like."
The Black Ranger suddenly transforms into a cloud of black smoke and enters DuskReaper 13 through the mouth on its stomach as DuskReaper 13 screams
"Judging from your scream, the saying is true that 'sometimes, the scariest things come from the inside'," said Emma. "With that said, this is one nightmare you will never wake up from."
Emma proceeds to do extreme damage to DuskReaper 13's insides.
Outside the dream, DuskReaper 13 could feel his body being ripped apart from the inside. "No, I cannot fall here! Forgive me, master BoneShaman!"
Emma exits DuskReaper 13's body as Riku holds DuskReaper's scythe. "How do you like to feel the other end of your own weapon?"
"No! Please, have mercy! This is only a harmless nightmare!" begged DuskReaper 13.
Emma's Darkrai helmet hides an evil grin. "Sorry, but you've forfeited your life the moment you decided to make Dice lick the toilet bowl," said Emma. "Kill him."
Riku swings the scythe, cutting DuskReaper from top to bottom with the scythe.
In the real world, DuskReaper 13's body is cut in half as he explodes into a burst of ectoplasm energy as the four Rangers instantly wake up from the dream.
The Blue and Green rangers rub their heads. "Man, don't tell me that we had a fender bender the alcohol this early?" said Claire. "And we haven't even finished decorating yet."
Dice rubs his head. "I think we've been brainwashed. Or I think it's just me feeling like this after what happened to me last time. But still, that was a nice nap. It feels as though all of my stress from today has disappeared."
Claire sits up with a smile. "But I'm getting the feeling that it was a really good dream I had. I think we should have more designated nap sessions from now on. Come on, Dice, you got some cleaning up to finish..." Claire leaves the room, pulling Dice with her.
Emma and Riku are now alone in the room. "I guess DuskReaper 13's nightmare has caused those two to lose their memories of the dream," said Riku.
"Still, it doesn't make sense why we can still remember everything that happened within the dream, unless..."
Emma opens the box containing the Newmoon Rock and sees the rock emitting a dark glow. "This rock was doing what Great Uncle Allen said it would. Plus, it's nice to have a new upgrade to our powers."
Riku looks at his Fullmoon Rock, giving off a purple glow. "So, how did it feel obliterating DuskReaper 13 from the inside-out?"
Emma walks to the exit with a grin on her face. "It was surprisingly... satisfying."
She puts on her shades as she leaves the room.
Riku laughs. "I guess you would be. You didn't get the chance to launch the full-scale assault on Lickfairy's digestive system last time after what he did."
Naomi is in her lab as a BlackChop brings the Poké Ball containing David's Rapidash. "Excellent. Things are going according to plan. The Red Ranger's Rapidash has the physical characteristics needed for my weapon, but let's see if it has the mental capabilities."
Naomi puts the Poké Ball into the machine. Switching the machine on, it blasts a huge amount of LZ Energy at the Poké Ball, affecting the Pokémon within it.
"Pretty soon, BoneShaman, I will have my revenge..."
Despite the setback involving DuskReaper 13, the preparation for the Halloween Party is complete, enabling the twins to have a Halloween party at the Canalave Inn and invite some of the locals that Claire and the crew of the SeaBlade know...
At the Party, Julia is wearing a red cap, blue/white shirt over a black t-shirt, blue jeans and sneakers with her long black hair tied into a single pony tail behind her. Storm is sitting on Julia's shoulder wearing a red (Pikachu-sized) coat and Aluminum foil wrapped around his tail, right arm and left leg.
Claire is wearing a full-body Piplup costume as she notices Storm's costume. "Wow, I didn't expect you to see Storm dress up as the main character of the Iron-Tailed Alchemist."
"Well, it was either Storm wearing an orange jacket or this. Besides, both Storm and I love that show," said Julia. "The story of two Pikachu brothers: One Pikachu losing some of his limbs and tail while the brother turns into a Registeel when they attempted to bring their mother back to life and failed."
"But why are you dressed as a boy when you could be a proper Sexy Raichu?" Emma asks, dressed up in a black ninja costume with Umbreon designs.
"Preference," answered Julia. "Besides, cross-dressing runs in the family. It all started when my dad once dressed up as a girl just to sneak into the Celadon Gym. And one Halloween I remember, my mom once complained that my dad was prettier than she was when he dressed up as a girl in an orange dress with a blonde wig. What's more shocking was that some guys tried to hit on my dad."
Riku is wearing a purple tuxedo with a purple top hat with vampire fangs in his mouth. "Judging from the way you look and how Sarah calls you SRR, I'm not surprised."
"I've seen a picture of Julia's parents and they are quite good looking," said Claire.
Dice walks up to the others dressed up as a Samurai. "Guys, you're really missing the Drinking Game. Sarah has beaten Old Man Byron at the drinking game and it looks like Kyle's challenging Sarah next."
A still sober Sarah is wearing a full-body Ninetales costume as Kyle sits across the table wearing a full-body Arcanine Costume with an Admiral uniform over the fur. In front of them are two large mugs of Black Persian Beer. "Alright, Admiral Kyle Fang Jr., you're the last one. Beat me and you can claim my crown."
Alexis walks up to Sarah. "Sarah, if you drink any more Black Persian, we might get a repeat of the Leek Bashing Incident from the last Halloween we had in Verger."
Sarah smiles. "No worries. It's only one last game with Kyle."
Alexis is currently wearing a full-body Farfetch'd costume, with Leek included. "That's exactly what happened and what you said last year, and I can't believe I decided to wear the same Farfetch'd costume for the party. Why did Claire decide to lift the Alcohol ban tonight?"
"What's this Leek Bashing Incident?" Julia asks. "It sounds almost as bad as the Slateport Cake Incident."
Claire laughs. "Sarah plus Alcohol plus Leek plus losing to Kyle at the drinking game. If you still don't get it, check my YouTube account for the video I posted. It's got plenty of hits, in more ways than one."
David enters the party dressed up as a knight. "Guess who is back?"
The five Rangers look at David. "David, you've finished your walk?" asked Dice.
David scratches his head. "Yeah, it took me a while to realize that I shouldn't mope around and do nothing when I am still able to do something that could save Red King. Plus, I wouldn't miss this party for the world."
Claire smiles. "Happy Halloween, David."
[End of 21]
David: "Next time on Poké Rangers: Lost Zone..."
Dice: "Ever since I left Fortree City, I've always wanted to see a Shaymin."
Naomi: "Before I face BoneShaman, I'm going to use you guys as my test subjects."
Dice: "Don't you ever stay dead, Puree?"
Sarah: "Here's something I prepared earlier..."
[Post-Fanfic Segment - Poké Ranger Report: Claire Springfield]
Claire happens to be working in her lab when she spots the reader.
"Oh, didn't expect to see you here this early. Welcome to my lab, as you know, I'm Claire Springfield. The fact that you're here means that you want to learn about my Poké Ranger Team. Let's start off with yours truly: Some say that I'm possibly the smartest Blue Ranger of all time, past, present and future..."
(Flashback: Claire was sitting in the Pokémon Center drinking coffee.)
"But before taking on the mantel of the Blue Ranger, I was a young Pokémon Trainer who almost became a champion, but I forfeited because I lost my drive to battle other Trainers. After all, being a genius means that I can find ways to win my battles, no matter how tough they are. But it takes away the fun of being in a Pokémon Battle..."
(Claire, Shine and Naomi are at some ruins outside Veilstone City.)
"After a while, I decided to use my intelligence to become a Pokémon Researcher and Archeologist. However, during one fateful expedition, I became responsible for releasing ZeroMew from the Lost Zone, causing him to possess my Brother and put Naomi in a coma."
(Claire accidentally knocked over a Giratina Statue in some ruins near Veilstone City, causing the chain reaction that released ZeroMew from his dimensional prison. Giratina appeared in front of Claire.)
"Giratina gave me the chance to become a Poké Ranger so that I can atone for that mistake that put my brother and Naomi in danger."
(Claire stood on the deck of the S.S. SeaBlade with Sarah, Kyle and Alexis.)
"Using the resources I have, I was able to develop the morphers and arsenal for my Poké Rangers Team with one mission in mind: Free my brother from ZeroMew's control and send that evil Mew back into the Lost Zone."
(In Cerulean City, Claire morphs into her Blue Empoleon Ranger outfit.)
"Well, that's enough about me for now. Next time, I'll go into details about the Twins. I hope you have learnt enough about me in this segment."
(In Slateport, Claire threw a cake at the man who took the last Rage Candy Bar...)
"And for the record, there are a few things I've done that I'm not proud of."
(Promotional Poké Rangers Lost Zone Picture: Claire in her Ranger Suit (minus her Empoleon helmet) is sitting on Iron Flygon's shoulder.)
"Anyway, see you on our next report."
