A/N: Me and my big mouth. I said nobody would try the quiz, and bam, my first reviewer did. Ah well. I promise this chapter wont have an open ending, the ending will be concrete and next chapter will not lead on from this in the sense that the last three have.
Chapter 21; Poké Rangers The Movie – Part 2
"Ungh," Greg grunted incomprehensibly.
"Yeah, this is the life," Kurtis sighed. Both the two of them, and Kris were having massages through their suits, whilst their Neo Phones took it in turns to buzz and beep irritatingly, with the occasional pause (presumably while the caller called Anna and Rei next door).
"Can't we turn those annoying things off?!" Kris asked angrily.
The reason they were buzzing, as you should remember, is because there was currently a Megazord wreaking havoc on the Indigo Plateau with nobody doing anything, because the only person who could do anything, not including the Rangers, was currently at Ever Grande City, stopping a gigantic mutant.
"Fire Punch!" Sagittarius called, sending the Mega Insectazord flying.
"Metal Burst!" Ritchie yelled, sending the mutant twice as far.
"Focus Punch!" Ritchie cried, and the force destroyed Sagittarius.
"Nice work, Ritchie, but the Rocket Rangers are still at the Indigo Plateau," Whitney said sadly on a viewing screen
"On my way," Ritchie sighed, and he flew his Megazord to the North East of Kanto, to meet the Rocket Megazord.
"Superpower!" he called as he flew down, blasting the Rocket Megazord to the ground, landing on the remains of the Indigo Plateau.
"Ah, The Silver Scizor. Where are your friends?" Rocket Blue sniggered.
"Megahorn!" Ritchie called, slamming into the other Megazord.
"Humph! There's no reason for us to stay here, we got what we came for. We're out of here," Rocket Red said, once again retreating.
Ritchie sighed and leapt out of his Megazord, only to be greeted by many journalists.
Later, back at Golden Youths…
Ritchie, Kyle, Adelie, Nanene and Donny & Carl were watching a "live" (as in not recorded) news report on the two battles that had happened at the locations of the Kanto and Hoenn Pokémon Leagues.
"Utter chaos reigned, not only here, at Ever Grande City, but also at the Indigo Plateau in Kanto, as a giant sized mutant, and Team Rocket's Megazord attacked. But there was no sign of the Poké Rangers anywhere. The Silver Scizor was on hand with his Megazord here, destroying the mutant, then flying over to Kanto to stop the Rocket Megazord, but his fellows were nowhere to be found. After the battle we managed to get this comment from The Silver Scizor," a news reporter said, live from Ever Grande City.
"I expect the other Rangers are too busy making their movie," The Silver Scizor spat.
"And indeed they were. We had a reporter at the Goldenrod studio as soon as we could to get comment from the other Rangers," the reporter continued.
"Attack?! What?! What are you talking about? We didn't know about any attack! I promise you, if we had known then we would have been straight there!" the Red Ranger said, in a tone that Ritchie didn't recognise.
"Despite the Red Ranger's comment, the Poké Rangers popularity seems to have dropped significantly as a result of this, and this will surely affect the reception of the Poké Rangers movie, out April 10th 2107. Back to you, Lisa," the reporter said. In his overly luxurious trailer, Kris became extremely angry when he heard what the reporter said. He stepped outside and bellowed the director's name.
"PIERRE!" he called, and the director appeared almost instantly next to him.
"Hey, Red Ranger, baby, what can I do for you?" Pierre asked, slightly nervously; he'd just seen the news as well.
"What exactly is the point of making this movie if nobody is going to watch it?" Kris asked through gritted teeth.
"What?! Is this about that silly news report? Don't worry, that's not going to affect this at all. In fact, it might make the ratings even better!" Pierre cried, patting the Red Ranger's shoulder.
"How?" Kris asked sceptically.
"It'll be like a big comeback!" Pierre said, but that just seemed to make Kris angrier.
"I really feel bad. What if all that hurt someone? And think of how much it'll cost to repair he stadiums," Anna said, appearing from nowhere.
"Pierre, you'd better make sure this doesn't happen again, or we are out of here!" Kris said, and he walked off with the Pink Ranger, leaving the director very nervous.
Meanwhile, at Team Rocket HQ…
"Those pitiful fools. They have no idea of what is truly happening," Giovanni laughed, as he watched the argument on TV.
"It's time to got to stage 5. Dr. Nanba, you know what to do," he continued, nodding at his science officer.
"Of course, sir," Nanba replied, shuffling out of the room, to his lab.
Meanwhile, back at the "studio"…
"Ok Rangers, let's do this! Ready?" a man dressed all in red asked four other people, as Grunts gathered round to attack.
"Ready!" the other four replied, and they all pulled out phones that looked remarkably like the Neo Phones from their pockets.
"Neo Access!" all five cried
"And CUT!" Pierre called, and the actors playing the Rangers unmorphed forms walked straight through the holographic Grunts and out of the way of the camera.
"Ok, we'll put the morphing in with digital effects later, so Rangers, you know what to do, right?" Pierre asked, slightly nervously.
"Of course, we kick their pathetic, holographic butts!" Kurtis cried, doing a high-kick.
"Ok, and…action!" Pierre cried once the Rangers were on set.
Due to them being programmed to lose, the Grunts were easily destroyed by the Rangers. Until they started to not lose…
"Hiya!" Kurtis cried, simply flicking one of the holograms for comedy, but it didn't budge.
"What?!" Kurtis cried in astonishment. He was even more astonished when the Grunt punched him into a tree behind him.
"Pierre, what is going on?!" Kurtis yelled angrily, as Rei helped him up, only for them both to be knocked down by two more Grunts.
"I – I don't know – hey, put that down!" Pierre yelled, as four Grunts took the holographic projector.
Suddenly, a smokescreen descended, and as Pierre coughed, the Rangers heard laughing.
"Prepare for trouble!"
"Make it double!"
"Oh brilliant, you three, that's just what we needed now. Listen, we're pretty busy here, so can you make an appointment or something?" Greg asked.
"EXCUSE ME?! How dare you! We don't need an appointment for anything! Now, we'll be taking the holographic projector and leaving!" Jessie yelled, sticking out her tongue, and she, Meowth, James, and the Grunts left in a lava hole.
"Ok, now nobody needs to know about this, right?" Kris asked everyone.
"Mr. Jackson! Rangers! You need to see this!" Pierre's assistant cried, running towards them from the building.
"Not now, we're busy, the holographic projector has disappeared!" Anna yelled.
"Then that's probably what's happening now!" the assistant said, and the Rangers looked from one to the other.
"This is an emergency broadcast!" a newsreader said on TV, which the assistant had led Pierre and the Rangers to watch, "Giant mutants have appeared and are attacking all over Johto! All of them have been identified as the Rocket Rangers! The Rocket Megazord is also attacking, here in Goldenrod City! Poké Rangers, if you can here this, stop working on that movie for a minute and help, please! The world needs – YAGH!" she cried, as the building began shaking and the screen blanked out to static, followed by a screen reading, "Technical Difficulties, please stand by."
"You'd better do this. The movie will get bad ratings if there's nobody alive to watch it," Kurtis said.
"And it's bad for our popularity. Let's go!" Kris said, and the Rangers rushed outside, and found the Rocket Megazord in sight.
"Ok, Neo Megazord, activate!" Kris yelled, and the five Zords combined.
"Why are the camera's still n here?!" Greg asked angrily.
"Forget about it, just focus on them!" Rei hissed.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't out little movie stars. Decided to show up this time I see," Rocket Red taunted.
"That's right, and we're ready for you this time! Neo Sabre, Leaf Blade!" Kurtis cried. The Neo Megazord's weapon struck a blow hard on the opposing Megazord, but they still managed to fight back.
"Dust Shoot!" Rocket Green called, and the Arbok Arm spat a cloud of dust around the Megazord, frying the circuits and doing other technical mumbo-jumbo that's way too complicated for a T.
"Whirlpool!" Greg yelled, spraying off the poison.
"Discharge!" Rei cried. A powerful bolt of electricity paralysed the Rocket Megazord, and the Neo Megazord pinned it to the ground.
"No how did you get control of the holographic technology?!" Anna asked furiously.
"You people are fools! Of course we're going to be able to control something we created!" Rocket Blue laughed.
"What?!" Kris cried in shock.
"Yes! We financed the movie, in order to mess up your team's dynamics – although we could never have predicted it would work this well – so of course we would maintain a way to control the technology we've provided! Including this!" Rocket Pink yelled, as the Pidgeot-bot swooped in from nowhere and picked up the Rocket Megazord.
"Ha! Did you really think a movie prop would be able to do what this thing can?! This is the flying type Neo Zord! And now it's in our control! You are all in way over your pathetic human heads!" Rocket Pink yelled, and all five Rocket Rangers laughed out loud as they flew off, leaving the stunned Rangers in their wake.
Meanwhile, in the mountains of Sinnoh…
"String Shot! Gyro Ball!" The silver Scizor called, as he came flying over the top of a mountain on top of an ATV, blasting first string, then a metal ball from a barely protruding cannon on the front, both colliding with the hologram of the Red Rocket Ranger on the other side, who fazed out and vanished.
"This thing is amazing! What is it?" Scizor asked, and a response came from his holographic projector around his midriff.
"It's called the SATV, standing for the Silver All-Terrain Vehicle. The others all have a means of transport, and now so do you. Only this is several times faster than the Neo Cycles, and has much more powerful attacks, not much less than the Zords!" Miborg explained.
"Yes, and now you need to use it to get over to Kanto, it's the nearest region from you under attack, from the holograms of both the Blue and Yellow Rocket Rangers! Get moving! And it looks like the other Rangers have realised their publicity is going to suffer if they don't do something; they've gotten rid of the Rocket Megazord here in Goldenrod.
"Finally," Ritchie whispered, as he streaked off towards the ocean.
Meanwhile, at Team Rocket HQ…
"Once again you've fed, once again you've let the Poké Rangers escape. What's your excuse this time?! Giovanni hissed.
"Simple. Even with the additional power of the Pidgeot Zord, we don't have power enough to destroy the Rangers. The silver Scizor would of course shown up to help them, and their eight Zords would have overpowered our six, despite Nanba's calculations of the Pidgeot Zord being the second most powerful Neo Zord. According to our tracker they're all headed for the Viridian Forest, where the hologram of Rocket Blue is currently ravaging. We can reconvene there, and with the power of six Zords, and the five holograms, they will be overwhelmed," Rocket Red said, ending in a whisper.
"I'm getting tired of your excuses-" Giovanni grunted.
"You asked us for an excuse!" Rocket Yellow yelled.
"How dare you speak back to him?!" Jessie yelled.
"Apologise at once!" James cried.
"No! Now if you'll excuse us, we have some Rangers to annihilate!" Rocket Green hissed, and all five left, leaving a room full of the worst kind of mutants – disgruntled mutants.
Shortly, in Viridian Forest…
"Wood Hammer!" Kurtis called inside the Neo Megazord. A huge tree sprouted from the ground, which the Megazord used to batter the hologram of the Blue rocket ranger out of existence.
"Well done, Kurtis," Kris said quietly.
"Look! It's Ritchie!" Anna gasped, looking down, and the other Rangers followed suit. At ground level stood The Silver Scizor, Next to the SATV.
The Rangers leapt from the Megazord and stood in front of Ritchie. After a long hard silence, the Rangers began a flutter of indecipherable apologies, ending with Rei asking, "Is there any way you could forgive us?"
Eventually Ritchie quietly replied; "I'd quite like to be a movie star," resulting in one huge hug.
"Oh, how touching. Almost makes you throw up," the Rangers heard Rocket Red say from above.
The six Rangers looked up to see the Rocket Megazord stood on top of the Pidgeot Zord, and holograms of the mutants themselves.
"Naturally. Ready, Ritchie?" Greg asked.
"Oh yeah. Mega Insectazord!" Ritchie called.
"Neo Megazord!" the others cried.
"Cute," said the real Rocket Red, facing the Megazords, "But let's see how you handle the Rocket Garuda Megazord!" Rocket Pink called. The wings of the Pidgeot Zord detached and reattached on the Megazord's back. It's claws attached underneath the Megazord's feet, and the head became a new head for the Megazord, with the Pidgeot's head feathers forming a new weapon. Its torso became additional armour over the rest of the Megazord.
"Cool," Kurtis said bluntly.
"Crescent Striker!" Rocket Blue cried, and the weapon lashed out at the Neo Megazord.
"Shadow Punch!" Rocket Red yelled, and their Megazord knocked the Rangers' down.
"Ritchie, don't suppose we could get some help, could we?" Rei asked.
"I'd like to, but I've kind of got my hands full," Ritchie answered. He alone was fighting all five holograms.
"Sky Uppercut!" Ritchie called, but the punch had no effect; the holograms just briefly faded out before reappearing.
"Ok…Scissor Cross!" he yelled, but the holograms all dodged.
"How come these guys are so strong?! They were pathetic before!2 Ritchie cried.
"It's called lulling you into a state of false security!" the Rocket Red hologram yelled.
"Oh, just tell him all our secrets, he won't be able to use them against us," Rocket Pink's hologram said sarcastically.
"It doesn't matter anyway! The only thing capable of destroying one of us is by using each others power against!" Rocket Blue laughed.
"Am I the only one here with a brain?!" Rocket Pink cried.
"No, you're a hologram, we don't have – hey! He's gone!" Rocket Red called, and he was right; the Mega Insectazord had vanished.
"Yoo-hoo!" Ritchie cried, as his Megazord reappeared between Rockets Blue and Green.
"Gotcha!" they both called, rushing in to knock the Megazord down. They both collided with it at the same time, and after a brief flash of electricity, they were gone.
"What?! But how?!" Rocket Red yelled.
"That would be the power of Double Team, my non-existent friend," Ritchie's voice echoed, with him nowhere in sight.
The Mega Insectazord was stood behind Rocket Red, as they all looked in the opposite direction. Ritchie blasted a Hyper Beam at Rocket Pink, right through Rocket Red, before sinking away.
"You attacked me!" Rocket Pink cried at Rocket Red. Within second she had tackled him to the ground, and a few second after that they had destroyed each other.
That just left Rocket Red. Ritchie crept up on her and destroyed her with a Focus Punch.
Ritchie shook his head, until he realised the other Rangers were at the mercy of the Rockets. He flew over, and managed to grab the Rocket Garuda Megazord, and hold it back.
"Rei! Weaken them!" Ritchie called.
"How?! They've got Donphan, a ground type…protected by flying type armour! That's pretty dumb," Rei commented.
"Ok, that's great, but can we comment on that when our LIVES AREN'T AT STAKE!" Kurtis screamed.
"Right, Thunder Fang!" Rei cried, and the Megazord grew fangs, which sank into the opposing Megazord, causing the six Zords to separate.
"Go Anna!" Ritchie cried. Anna leapt out of the Megazord, onto the head of the Pidgeot Zord.
"Hey there. Fancy joining the winning, and GOOD team?" Anna asked it, as she placed her hand on it. Her Neo Phone showed the Zord accepted, as it read "916", with an image of the Pidgeot.
"Ok then! Neo Garuda Megazord!" Anna called. The Zord combined with the Neo Megazord the same way it had with the Rocket Megazord.
"Cool, we have a new Ultrazord! Can I name it?" Kurtis asked excitedly.
"NO!" Kris, Anna, and Greg cried in unison.
"Why not guys?" Rei asked angrily.
"We can talk about this later, right now we have a battle to fight!" Kris cried.
"Right! Sky Attack!" Anna called. The Megazord flew up high, and swooped down into the Rocket Megazord.
"I'm not telling Giovanni," Rocket Red said, as the Rocket Rangers retreated.
"How about…Pidge-Bot?" Kurtis suggested, and the Pink, Red, and Blue Rangers sighed, with too much experience off his bad puns.
"And…CUT!" Pierre's voice rang on ground level. In the forest stood Pierre, surrounded by cameras. The Rangers confusedly jumped out to meet him.
"Pierre? What are you doing here?" Kris asked.
"And how?" Greg added.
"Making a movie, and with the magic of the movies," he answered with a wink, "Anyway, I've now got all the footage that I need of you guys, so that's a wrap! And Scizor, baby, I'm sorry I had to cut you before, but the people funding the movie were so pushy…" Pierre explained.
"Gotcha. No need to explain, we know the rest," Ritchie told him.
"So I'll see you guys later. I'll give you a call about the première, and sequel. Adios!" Pierre said, before he and his cameras vanished in a puff of smoke.
Later, at Golden Youths…
"…The Poké Rangers generous donation of their entire pay for the Poké Rangers movie was warmly received by the victims of Neo Team Rocket from the past few months. And now for sports," a newsreader said on TV, although at this point Kris turned it off, just as Nanene stuck her head round the Youth Club door.
"Hey, Ritchie, there you are!" she called, "Hey, if the offers still there, I'd like to move in with you, is that ok?" she asked.
"Oh – right, of course," Ritchie said, having forgotten his offer.
"Great. Could you help me with my stuff?" Nanene asked, and Ritchie followed her outside, where he saw a mountain of boxes and cases.
"Nanene, I said I have a lot of room, but not enough for all of Johto," Ritchie said, beginning to sweat.
"Don't be silly, this is just my stuff," Nanene told him.
"But I thought you were a travelling breeder until you stopped here! How could you have carried all this?!" Ritchie asked.
'I've bought it since I moved here. It's still ok, isn't it?" Nanene asked, and she took Ritchie's sigh to mean yes.
"Excellent! Ok, I'll take this one," Nanene said, picking up her handbag, "And can you carry the rest? Thanks!" she said, skipping down the road.
"That's got to be the first thing we teach him about; girls," Greg said, and Kris and Kurtis mysteriously vanished, whilst Anna and Rei approached him, snarling.
A/N: I've FINALLY finished this! Of course due to me writing a chapter ahead this might have been posted only a few days after the last chapter, but – I'll just stop talking. So what's this? Ritchie and Nanene are roommates? Where will this lead? You'll have to read the rest of Neo and Dino Force top find out! Now you have to read! Mwahahaha! I'll just stop now. Our lovely Pierre will reply to this! See ya!
