Act 25: Shining Silver Knight (****) play Zyuranger opening
It was early in the morning near the edge of the route and the Leviathan had anchored along the coastline.
The group had gathered around as Emily showed them something.
"And so, the Pokeathlon dome is close enough for us to walk there. It has all sorts of athletic activities for pokemon and trainers. Sports, training, dance classes, self defense classes."
"It sounds fun." Kaoru said.
"I was thinking we head there today." Emily said.
Arkanes and the others nodded.
"Before I go, there's something Kaoru and I need to do first." Takeru said, Kaoru nodding.
"Do be safe Shinkengers, and vigilant." Hikoma said.
"Yeah we know." Jack said.
As Takeru and Kaoru prepared to leave, Quinn approached Takeru.
"What are you guys doing?"
"It's a family matter, we'll meet you there later."
"Alright but don't stay too long." Quinn said before giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Elsewhere on the Daitanix Battobass was in his hall section of the ship with another massive viking, one even bigger than him. He had similar armor to Battobass but more dense looking with spikes coming out and a regular skull shaped helmet.
Both were drinking from horns.
"Stuck on this ship, sending out one viking at a time. It's maddening, I need a good raid, set entire cities to the torch." Battobass said.
"You're still as eager as you were as a young man Battobass."
"I have you to thank for that Ragnar."
"You would have found your path, I just showed you the way."
"I still remember that day, when you slaughtered those Kalos knights, it was the finest thing I've ever seen."
"Knights are so foolish, codes of chivalry and honor. If a man doesn't live a life to his own fruition he's no man at all."
Battobass held up his horn.
"I'll drink to that old friend."
The two toasted and guzzled the alcohol before a drengr approached and whispered something to Battobass.
Battobass went to the helm room where he saw Lord Drakkon with Hisan and Zahab.
"My lord, you wanted to see me."
"Battobass it's your turn, this time I want you to attack the Shinkengers directly, show them your viking berserker rage."
Battobass seemed excited at that idea.
"Yes, I have just the guy for that! Ragnar!"
The door burst open as the others saw the small giant approach. He towered over Battobass and Zahab.
"He's certainly big." Hisan said.
"This is Ragnar knight-slayer. He's my mentor and oldest friend. This son of thor taught me everything I know about being a viking."
"Knight-slayer you say?" Zahab said.
"Before I even became a Gedoshu I slew dozens of Kalos knights in my raids, poor fools stood before me, swearing to their one God that they'd defend the weak and innocent from me. Well after I carved their armor in, I went to work on their weak and innocent."
"Samurai , knights, bushido, chivalry, I do what I want and how I want it. Those who try to stop me die."
"Show me."
The group arrived at the coastline and saw a large dome building by a smaller secluded beach.
"Here we are, the Pokeathlon dome!" Emily said sounding excited.
The group saw many trainers already in athletic attire with their pokemon.
They entered the dome and saw more trainers with their pokemon. The dome interior had a basketball court, an olympic sized swimming pool, a track, some tennis courts and more.
"Alright what do to first?" Emily said.
"I might check out their self defense classes." Alex said.
"Come on Quinn let's play some tennis." Emily said.
"I wish Kaoru were here." Jack said sounding disappointed.
"And Takeru, would that work?" Arkanes teased.
"'Sigh' I guess you have a point."
"Come on, let's try some basketball."
As Alex walked with Croconaw out they walked by a dance class, Croconaw noticing something.
He was horrified and tried to push Alex to walk faster.
"Huh? Croconaw is something wrong?"
Croconaw desperately tried to get Alex to move, but he was too late, Alex turned to see who was leading the dance class.
"Jasmine?"
Croconaw sighed.
"Naw"
Another trainer was walking by with a Chatot on his shoulder as Croconaw growled the parrot pokemon turned to him.
"'Squawk', fuck me."
"Chatot where did you hear that?"
As the class ended, Jasmine wiped some sweat off her face as her Totodile used a small water gun to cool her off.
"Thanks Totodile, alright we're done." Jasmine said before she noticed Alex outside.
"Alex?" She said blushing.
Croconaw growled as the two approached.
"I almost forgot you said you were coming here." Alex said.
"I didn't know you were."
"Well we were passing by and Emily thought it would be fun."
"Well, it's good to see you." Emily said trying not to blush.
"What are you doing Emily, keep your mind straight. We need to seize this opportunity to destroy him." Jasmine through to herself.
"Did you maybe want to hang out here together?" Alex asked.
"Uh yeah, let me just get my bag quick and change into something athletic."
Croconaw saw Jasmine's Totodile give an evil expression towards him. Croconaw growled back.
"Croconaw why do you always seem so aggressive around them. They're nice, plus Jasmine and I are well… I guess we don't have a label for it."
Croconaw was very afraid for his partner, what this girl would do to him. If only he could speak human.
Alex met with Jasmine, both in athletic attire.
"So how did your class go?" Alex asked.
"Well enough. The people here aren't exactly dancers, but I do what I can for them."
"Oh I almost forgot, I made something for you." Alex said before he revealed a small necklace made of gold.
"Wow that almost looks like real gold."
"It is."
Jasmine took a small bite out of it before her eyes widened.
"This is real gold! You spent how much money on!"
"Actually, my Shinkenger powers." Alex took out his brush and painted a character over Jasmine's fake silver ring, turning it solid silver.
Jasmine was almost overwhelmed by this, she shook.
"Arigato."
"He can make gold…Fucking stop it, you're not a gold digger. Of course he's quite amazing beyond….Focus! Now a lot of things can go wrong here. So many things that could destroy him, his image. Or maybe more, sports injuries can be crippling. I could ruin his career….But damaging that body….FOCUS JASMINE!"
The two made their way to a soccer field.
"Want to play some soccer?"
"A soccer ball to the crotch, the pain and embarrassment would be bad enough. Who knows it might even make him sterile if its hard enough." Jasmine thought to herself.
She nodded before winking to Totodile who winked back.
Croconaw saw this and growled before giving a mischevious smile.
"Croc."
The same trainer with the Chatot was passing by and heard this.
"'Squawk', game on bitch."
"Chatot why do you keep swearing."
Alex let out Grotle and Lavitar as well. He and Jasmine were on the blue jersey team against the red jersey team.
Alex moved faster than the other players, but Jasmine kept pace.
One of Alex's teammates blocked an opponent who was trying to steal the ball from Alex while a Volteon tried to run in. However, she was stopped after running into Grotle and landing on her back with swirly eyes.
"Jasmine!" Alex shouted as he passed the ball back to her.
Totodile winked as she readied Aqua tail.
Croconaw noticed this as he nodded to Grotle who used curse before running as fast as he could.
Jasmine passed the ball to Totodile before she smashed it right for Alex's crotch.
Grotle knocked a Golem into the path, the ball bouncing back and smashing into Jasmine's stomach before Lavitar smashed it into the goal.
Jasmine had all the wind knocked out of her as she fell to the ground.
"Jasmine!" Alex rushed over to her as Totodile also looked at her with concern.
Croconaw smiled as he and Alex's other pokemon bumped fists.
"Ouch." Jasmine said.
A few minutes later the two were with their pokemon at the pool. Only Croconaw and Totodile were with them. Alex in a pair of grey swim trunks and Jasmine in a one piece blue swimmers suit.
"Ok down and back. Time to see who's got the faster dile. Of course I do have a croconaw." Alex said smiling confidently.
"Oh we'll see all right." She had an evil thought on her mind.
"We'll see more than that, Totodile will relieve you of those trunks, think of everyone here getting a picture of him naked…..Including me." She said with a red face thinking about it.
Croconaw heard this and came up with his own idea.
The two and their pokemon dove in, Alex and Croconaw swimming as fast as they could while Jasmine and Totodile tried to keep up. Eventually when they turned around at the other side, Jasmine had caught up.
She gave a signal to her Totodile, Croconaw noticing this. He was horrified as he saw Totodile open her jaws and swim at Alex's trunks.
Croconaw swam as fast as he could, hitting Totodile and knocking her off course as they reached the end of the pool.
Jasmine yelped in pain as Alex heard a ripping sound.
Totodile shook her head before she realized in her mouth was almost the entire bottom half of the back of Jasmine's swimsuit.
Alex looked down and saw Jasmine's big round butt cheeks fully exposed.
"Ghaaah" Alex said his face turned red.
Jasmine screamed as she lowered herself back into the water, her face red.
Alex saw a boy giggling as he had a picture with his e-reader.
"No you don't."
Alex got out and 'accidentally' knocked him in, ruining the picture.
Jasmine was in complete terror as Totodile looked frantic, Croconaw going underwater and laughing like crazy.
Alex came over with a towel in hand.
"Here cover yourself up."
Jasmine quickly came up and wrapped it around her waist.
"Arigato." She said.
A few minutes later after changing the two were walking through the center together.
"Maybe we should rest for a minute?" Alex asked feeling bad for Jasmine's lack of luck.
"…That sounds good." Jasmine said in an almost defeated tone.
"I should quit before I end up even worse…Did he actually see my butt, did he think it was too big….Did he like it? Ghaaah what am I saying?"
As Jasmine walked to some seats, a hole in her bag expanded as a book fell out.
Alex noticed this and picked it up.
"Jasmine a book fell out." Alex said before noticing it was a book on feudal Kalos knights. A non-fiction book.
"Oh arigato." The two sat down.
"Why do you have a book on Kalos knights?"
"I just like to read about them, I'm half Kalos after all."
"Right, me too."
"My ancestor on my mom's side was a knight who fought for king Aorazok, the stone king."
"Really, my mom says her ancestor was in the Kalos revolution as well. She says his name was sir James Chaput of the free Kalos army under Lord/king Deniau."
"Oh right the life king. I guess that means our ancestors probably fought against each other." Jasmine said.
"I guess so. "Why are you so interested in knights?" Alex asked.
"Well, growing up in Kalos they just seemed interesting, men raised from childhood to be elite soldiers. Sword to protect the innocent and the weak, even if not all of them did so. But that's also what made it more interesting, different motivations of different knights, politics and loyalties. But there's also a bit more….." Alex noticed her tone shift to a more shy one.
"What is it?"
Jasmine looked a little embarrassed.
"Well when I was a little girl, I always liked to dream that one day I would meed a knight in shining armor , he'd sweep me off my feet and." Jasmine started before there were a series of screams.
"Huh?" Alex said before he heard someone shout the word monsters.
"Oh shit, get somewhere safe." Alex said as he got up with Croconaw and ran towards it.
"Alex!"
Outside a squadron of Drengr were charing off viking ships and across the exterior of the dome area.
With them were Battobass and Ragnar.
Ragnar saw a young woman trying to escape and took interest in her.
Two security guards were between him and the young woman, Ragnar drawing a double ended axe, before smashing it into the first man, cleaving him in half as blood filled his mouth.
The other guard backed up before Ragnar cut his hands off.
As the man screamed in pain, a drengr came up and held him down, Ragnar grabbing the young woman.
"Watch." Ragnar said as the drengr held the man's head at Ragnar who began tearing at the girl's pants.
Moments later Ragnar heard a series of drums, the viking turned with Battobass to see five of the Shinkengers forming up in front of the kuroko who held the Shiba banners.
Alex was in the center as they fortified into their Shinkenger armor.
"Ahh Samurai, finally." Ragnar said as he tossed the girl away before she ran off.
"Samurai Sentai, Shinkenger! Going forth!"
"Attack!" Battobass said.
The drengr rushed forward, Jack and Emily dashing at them with their katanas drawn. The two slashed their way through six drengr before Arkanes and Quinn leapt off their shoulders and came down into a group of eight more, slashing them apart.
Alex dashed past ten drengr, slashing them all before they could even attack.
The five then faced Ragnar who held up a shield on one arm and his axe on another.
"Give it your best shot samurai."
Alex dashed forward and slashed Ragnar ten times , Arkanes drawing his bow and firing two shots into him, Quinn hurling her cutter as Emily slashed his sides with her fans and Jack the other side with his spear.
When they were done, Ragnar looked as if nothing had happened to him.
"What?" Alex said.
Ragnar gave an evil expression.
"My turn." Ragnar slashed them all with his axe, the five feeling an impact from his axe, the five hurled several feet back by the single strike.
As they tried to get up, Alex unleashed a blast of gold and silver into Ragnar who knocked the blast away with his shield.
"Pathetic." Ragnar charged forward, the ground shaking as he smashed into Alex like a raging Tauros and picked him up off the ground, he smashed the other four clear out of the way before hurling Alex onto the ground.
Jasmine was watching from nearby as Ragnar smashed his axe across Alex again, hurling him five feet into the air.
Jasmine thought she'd be excited as this sight, but for some reason she only felt afraid , not for herself, but for Alex.
"Why am I so scared for him?"
"Even the fucking knights put up a better fight than you. How did you lot kill so many Gedoshu." Ragnar said as he lifted Alex up by the throat and began to choke him.
Ales slashed Ragnar's arm six times but he wouldn't let go. As he lost more breath, Alex forced his legs up and wrapped them around Ragnar's arm before flipping his body and forcing himself free.
Ragnar raised his axe as Jack and Emily sprinted over to help, both being smashed with Alex.
Battobass smashed Quinn back with his axe before turning and slashing Arkanes. Laughing as he did.
Ragnar and Battobass formed up before they charged forward together, working in synch as they slashed the five back.
"Nobody can stop Chief Battobass and Ragnar knight-slayer. We're an unstoppable viking force!" Battobass said as they smashed their axes into the ground as a powerful quake his the five samurai who cried out in pain before their armor shattered.
"Ragnar knight-slayer?" Jasmine said.
"Looks like I'll be a samurai slayer as well." Ragnar said as he prepared to charge forward. Jasmine gasping in horror before Arkanes was able to draw a mist character. A thick mist covered the five, allowing them to escape.
As Ragnar ran through he saw they were gone before screaming in frustration.
Battobass saw his drengr had captured a few people.
"Ragnar, I have a consolation for you." Ragnar turning to see the terrified people.
Elsewhere on route 36, Takeru and Kaoru entered a small temple-cemetery where a few monks with pokemon were working around the yard and temple.
The two entered wearing more ceremonial attire, one of the monks noticing them.
"Ahhh! Lord and lady Shiba!" The monk said bowing.
"We've come to pay our respects." Takeru said.
"Ah yes right this way." The monk said leading them to the temple. There they saw an older monk.
"Master, Lord Shiba has arrived." The monk turned to the two.
"Ah Lord and Lady Shiba, it's been too long."
"High-monk Masataka." Takeru said.
"I wasn't aware you were in the area."
"We're just passing through and thought we'd come to pay our respects." Takeru said.
The lead monk nodded.
Unknown to them one of the monks was watching from the corner.
"So that's Shinken Red." He said pulling his sleeve up and revealing a violet skin with a poison stinger at the end.
"If my poison works and prove it against Shinken Red, Silver will reward me beyond my wildest dreams." He said grinning.
"Sajor, bring the lord and lady some tea." The high monk said as another monk came with three glasses already poured.
The three started drinking as the other monk watched.
"I still can't believe he wanted to be buried here instead of home." Kaoru said.
"It was his choice." Takeru said.
The high monk got up and lead them into the cemetery, as they passed a series of graves, Kaoru noticed one in particular, it almost looked abandoned, part of the top had been cut off and the words were so old that she couldn't make them out.
"Who's grave is that?" She asked.
"That one is so old we don't eve know, whoever it was, they were forgotten by their family."
"How sad." Kaoru said.
They finally approached a grave with a statue of Shinken Red over it. On the grave was the name Lord Masataka Shiba.
Kaoru and Takeru were silent as they stared at the grave.
Kaoru kneeling down with some flowers before setting them in the urn.
She stroked the side of the gravestone before reluctantly getting back up.
Takeru knelt down next, looking at the grave.
"Father, I've done as you asked. Please give me the strength to defeat the Gedoshu."
Takeru looked up at the statue of his father in the Shinken Red armor.
Moments later he felt a very sharp pain in his stomach.
"Ghaaaah!" Takeru screamed as he fell to the ground holding his stomach.
"Onii-Chan!" Kaoru shouted.
"Lord Shiba!" Several monks ran over.
"What's happened?"
"Poison I'm afraid." Another monk said as they turned to him.
He smiled as he ripped off his robe and revealed a team rocket uniform.
"Rocket gang!" The High monk shouted.
Kaoru got up taking Takeru's sword.
"Big mistake bastard!"
"tsk tsk tsk." The man said as he revealed his violent arm and stinger.
"I'd stand down little girl before you-" A katana blade was plunged through the man's back, coming out of his stomach.
He convulsed, blood coming out of his mouth as he looked down before the katana was pulled free and came back, taking his head off.
The monks and Kaoru were horrified as they saw none other than Juzo standing there with Uramasa.
"Juzo." Takeru grunted.
Juzo transformed into his Gedoshu form before dashing forward and knocking Kaoru away before grabbing Takeru.
"Lord Shiba!" The high monk shouted before Juzo knocked him away.
Juzo held Takeru over his shoulder before leaping off and vanishing with him.
"Onii-Chan!"
Elsewhere on the Leviathan, the five were being bandaged up by a few Kuroko.
"Ahhh." Jack said as one put an ice patch on his shoulder.
"What the fuck was that Gedoshu? Our attacks didn't even hurt him." Emily said.
"I think he said his name was Ragnar, he must be a powerful Gedoshu, his armor seems too strong for our weapons, and his attacks were like being hit by a freight train." Arkanes said.
"Speed doesn't seem to help." Alex said.
"It seems you lot have one option, you must overpower this Gedoshu." Hikoma said as he opened a box with the Zapdos attachment.
"Celebi do you think do can join with us?" Emily asked.
Celebi nodded.
"We should wait for Takeru to come back." Quinn said.
"Wait." Another voice said.
They were surprised when they saw Jasmine enter with two Kuroko escorting her.
"Jasmine?" Alex said.
"I know who that monster is. I read about him." Jasmine said showing her book.
She opened it as the group saw an image of a viking. The viking was huge, almost eight feet tall and clad in armor.
"Ragnar the knight-slayer was infamous among the early kingdom of Kalos, he would raid towns that he knew knights were in, challenging them before killing the knights."
They saw pictures of the viking smashing through knights' armor, piles of dead knights around him.
They were even more afraid seeing this.
"And this was before he became a Gedoshu." Arkanes said in concern.
"What's worse is what he'd do after. According to my books he would leave some knights alive long enough to make them watch as he violated their wives, set their children on fire, castrate young men."
Jack held his mouth before a kuroko handed him a bucket, Jack vomiting violently into it.
One of the kuroko patted his back as this happened.
Jack came up looking sick.
"So waiting's not an option." Jack said.
They took deep breaths.
"Finish patching us up, then let's go." Alex said.
Alex was in his chamber looking at his brush.
"I wonder what dad would do in this situation?" He said to himself as Croconaw looked at him.
"I have a pretty good idea actually." He said smiling.
Moments later Jasmine came in.
"Hey."
"Jasmine, I didn't know you'd come here to warn us about that Gedoshu."
"Are you sure you want to fight him again without your lord. I mean I know I told you about those things, but he almost killed you guys last time."
"They're samurai, it's their duty, just like knights."
"They're samurai, what about you?"
Alex smiled.
"According to Hikoma I'm just a mercenary."
"Well all the more reason not to get yourself needlessly killed."
"If I don't do this, people are going to get hurt. People are going to get killed. Maybe I'm not a samurai, but I don't need to be to do what they do."
Jasmine looked at how committed Alex was.
"My father use to tell me something, never give up until the end. Well it's not the end yet."
Jasmine smiled a little.
"Maybe you're not a samurai, but you're very knightly."
Takeru felt the pain of the poison rip through his body so badly he couldn't even cry out in pain.
Juzo reverted to his human form before he carried Takeru into the river.
Juzo dumped Takeru into the water before grabbing his head and shoving it underwater. Takeru tried to get out, but Juzo held him there as water filled his mouth and lungs.
Juzo finally let Takeru up as he began coughing up water violently as he tried to breath.
Juzo shoved Takeru's head back underwater as he once again began to drown.
However, Juzo let him back up again as Takeru coughed up the water and breathed.
Juzo let Takeru go as he fell into the river, Takeru feeling the pain in his stomach had vanished.
Takeru woke up inside a cave with a fire burning.
Juzo was in his human form polishing Uramasa.
"Juzo!"
Takeru tried to get up, but he felt exhausted, not able to move much.
"You won't be going anywhere until your strength returns Shinken Red." Juzo said.
"What did you do?"
"You were poisoned, the river here has healing powers." Juzo said.
"Why did you save he? You're a Gedoshu?"
Juzo kept polishing Uramasa.
"What I am and who I am aren't always the same samurai. I may be a Gedoshu, but Lord Drakkon is not my lord."
"What do you want then?"
Juzo looked back at him.
"I want you Shinken Red. I want to fight you, to truly fight you. I want Uramasa to taste your sword and blood. I want to feel it in the marrow of my bones."
"Who are you?"
Juzo looked at Uramasa.
"For many warriors, their weapon is an extension of them, I am merely an extension of Uramasa. I live for the sword."
"You're mad."
"You're not so different Shinken Red. You live to fight my kind."
"I protect people from Gedoshu. I don't take pleasure in fighting."
"Oh you do, I can feel it inside of you. You want so desperately to defeat Lord Drakkon."
Takeru was silent.
"But you can't face the truth, you can't defeat him, no samurai can."
"That's not true."
"No Shiba lord has ever defeated Lord Drakkon, only one Samurai, Shinken White."
Takeru listened closer.
"What do you know about Shinken White?"
Juzo turned back to Takeru with a more serious expression.
"I know enough. How your ancestor abandoned him after he was too afraid to fight Lord Drakkon himself, so he sent his peasant samurai in his place. Shinken Red, you're all the same."
"My ancestor would never send one of his samurai to fight in his place unless they chose too."
"History written by your ancestors, who knows what really happened."
Juzo clothed Uramasa again.
"I hope you recover soon, Uramasa desires to be satisfied."
Takeru tightened his grip as Juzo stared at him.
Ragnar slowly walked in front of the prisoners, his axe in hand.
He didn't say anything, he just breathed as the people shook.
Ragnar came down and beheaded one before smashing the other's head apart.
The young woman was crying as Ragnar came behind her and a boy beside her.
"Battobass care to join me?"
"Nah."
"Suit yourself." Ragnar said as he ripped off both their pants.
"More for me."
Moments later he heard drums, Ragnar and Battobass turning to see the five Shinkengers already fortified.
"Gedoshu! This ends now!" Alex shouted.
"Indeed." Ragnar said before he and Battobass formed up.
"The gold one's mine." Ragnar said before they ran forward.
Alex and the others unleashed their elemental attacks into the drengr, blowing them apart as the remaining prisoners ran.
Arkanes took out the Zapdos attachment as Celebi fused with Emily.
"Lightning Shinken Blue!"
"Shinken Pink! Spirit of the forest!"
Jack and Quinn attacked Battobass who blocked both of their strikes before slashing them back.
Alex, dashed at Ragnar and avoided his strikes before slashing him several times using his speed.
Emily used her vanishing speed to slash Ragnar several times while Arkanes's sword sparked with electricity. Arkanes blasted Ragnar before knocking his sword back and slashing him twice.
Ragnar shook off the attacks and slashed all three back.
Emily tried to vanish but none of her strikes had any effect.
Ragnar smashed them back, shattering Alex's armor again.
Jasmine was nearby with Totodile watching in horror. She wanted to run but noticed the girl Ragnar tried to rape had been injured and was struggling to get away.
"What the fuck are you doing Jasmine, what the fuck are you doing." Jasmine ran out with Totodile and tried to help the girl up.
Ragnar noticed this with interest.
He smiled.
"Watch me samurai." He said as he slashed Emily and Arkanes back, Celebi was forced out of Emily and landed beside her with swirly eyes as the Zapdos attachment came off Arkanes's sword.
Alex watched in horror as Ragnar knocked the girls down before standing over them.
"No!" Totodile tried to blast Ragnar with water, but he knocked her away.
Ragnar stepped on Jasmine's foot as she tried to get up.
"Kalos girl, I can see it in you. Perfect." Ragnar said.
As Alex got up he thought he heard Lugia roar.
Alex painted another fortifying character, this time it was silver instead of gold.
Their eyes widened as they saw armor form over Alex, but not his usual armor. This time it was shining silver, and it didn't look like Johton armor. It looked more like knight armor that formed naturally around him. His helmet and visor shaped more like Lugia and a golden cape behind him. His sword turning into a golden broadsword and a golden shield over his other arm.
(****)"Shinken Silver! Shining knight!"
"Alex has another armor mode?" Jack said.
"Of course, the gold mode is when Ho-oh is in control, now Lugia is." Emily said.
"A knight, how fitting!" Ragnar said as he raised his axe and shield before charing at Alex who held out his weapons before he ran.
The others noticed Alex wasn't moving at his usual speed in his armor, rather at normal speed for a shinkenger, maybe a little slower.
However, when he and Ragnar collided, rather than being hurled back, Alex and Ragnar were knocked back a few inches.
"What!?" Ragnar shouted.
He tried to slash Alex, but Alex knocked his axe away with his shield. Ragnar tried to smash Alex with his shield, but Alex moved to the right and slashed his shield arm. Ragnar crying out in pain for the first time as he felt the sheer power of Alex's attack cut his armored body. Alex kicked Ragnar's axe arm back before slashing his chest twice, Ragnar crying out in pain again.
Jasmine watched with stars in her eyes. Totodile shaking her head as she saw Jasmine blushing.
As Ragnar reeled back, Alex grabbed the blade of his sword with both hands and held it backwards, smashing the guard into the shoulder-neck area of Ragnar, cutting through his armor again before pulling Ragnar close and smashing his fist into his head.
"Ragnar!" Battobass shouted, Ragnar slowly reached to his side.
"No fucking way will I be killed by a fucking knight!" Ragnar screamed as he took out his horn and drank from it.
The growth character formed on Ragnar as he moaned and grew massive.
Alex drew his characters, Lugia and Ho-oh flying forward before Lugia took the top half this time.
When they finished combining and armoring, Alex saw that the form was more knight like, in fact he saw some resemblance to Daizyujin, only silver with areas of gold.
Alex leapt inside as the DaiKaiOh drew a golden broadsword.
"Ragnar we'll do this together!" Battobass shouted as he held up his horn. However, Arkanes unleashed a water arrow, smashing the horn apart.
"We're not done with you Battobass." Arkanes said before he and Jack both attacked, holding his axe in place before Emily and Quinn came lower and slashed his legs, Battobass faltering before Jack and Arkanes slashed his sides.
Ragnar screamed as he charged forward, Alex catching his axe and guiding him away as Ragnar stumbled. The DaiKaiOh grabbing his shoulder and pulling him back before locking his leg under Ragnar's foot, flipping him.
Ragnar got back up , but the DaiKaiOh slashed his axe back before backhanding him with his offhand. Alex then slashed Ragnar twice before kicking him back.
The DaiKaiOh raised up its sword with both hands over his head.
Ragnar tried to slash the DaiKaiOh, who moved inside and came about, slashing his stomach as Ragnar went to his knees before the DaiKaiOh came around and cut his head clean off.
"Ragnar!"Battobass cried as he saw his friend's head come off.
Battobass fell to his knees the DaiKaiOh towering over him.
Before the others could do anything, Battobass vanished.
Alex came down and helped Jasmine up.
"Are you ok?"
Jasmine hugged Alex, still blushing deeply.
Takeru saw Juzo was not in the cave and tried to get up, he had recovered some of his energy, but was still tired.
He tried to move through the cave but as he got to the entrance, Juzo was standing there.
"Leaving so soon , Shinken Red."
Takeru grunted before he heard a familiar voice.
Juzo turned and caught a katana with Uramasa. Kaoru was in front of Juzo holding Takeru's katana.
"Kaoru what are you doing here!?" Takeru shouted.
Kaoru's sword was knocked away, but she ducked under Juzo's next strike before blocking Uramasa and moving back in front of Takeru.
She took Takeru's brush and painted a character with it, smoke appearing in front of the two before they vanished.
Juzo walked through the smoke and saw they were gone.
"Hmp, another time then, Shinken Red."
Back on the ship, Alex filled Takeru in on what happened.
"So Lugia does have more of a roll to play. Amazing work Alex." Takeru said.
"Yes yes, the mercenary did well." Hikoma said writing him a check.
"He's no mercenary, he's a knight." Arkanes said.
Elsewhere on the Daitanix, Battobass was alone in his chamber.
"Ragnar."
Battobass had a memory, it was him as a small child, the settlement around him on fire with people running.
The viking warriors around him were being cut down by men in chainmail with red and white tunics over them and metal helms who rode large Rapidashes.
Battobass had to hide under a half burned wall as he saw a man in a full set of armor cave a man's face in with a war hammer.
After what felt like an eternity Battobass heard something and slowly came out to see two of the soldiers killed.
He jumped as a huge viking stood over him.
"Easy there son." He said putting his hand on Battobass's shoulders as he cried and shook.
"My name is Ragnar. You're safe now."
In Alola Jason was at the edge of the pokemon Academy, looking out at the ocean as he held the dragon dagger.
He played a little but didn't see Dragon Caesar.
"Eh? Dragon Caesar where are you? What? What are you doing there?"
Jasmine was alone at the secluded beach with just Totodile, she wore a red bikini with knots on the sides holding the bottom together.
She was thinking about what happened that day, particularly about Alex.
"Jasmine." She heard turning to Alex in his bathing suit from earlier and Croconaw.
"What brings you here?"
"I thought I'd see the sunset, maybe do some more swimming. Hey, I wanted to say that was pretty brave of you earlier, with that girl."
"I just tried to do the right thing. You fought a monster."
"I'm a warrior, with a set of power armor. What you did was more brave than what I did."
"Arigato."
"I never knew I could do that with my armor. I guess maybe I am more knight than Samurai."
"That's not a bad thing." Jasmine said blushing.
"Hey , feel like swimming?"
Jasmine nodded as they went into the water together.
As Alex tried to swim out, Jasmine caught up and attempted to dunk him.
However, as he went down Alex grabbed her legs and pulled Jasmine down with him.
He came up with her on his shoulders before dropping her back into the water.
Croconaw saw Totodile growl at Alex, wanting to get him.
She swam out into the water, Croconaw swimming after her.
As they reached the two , Totodile snapped her jaws around the end of Alex's trunks before pulling them clean off.
At the same time Croconaw snatched the knot on the back of Jasmine's top, undoing it before he snapped his jaws around the top of her bottom before pulling it clean off.
Jasmine yelped as she felt this happen, jumping forward into Alex's arms before they both realized somehow they had been stripped.
Both of their faces turned red.
"Uhhh, how."
Jasmine at that point didn't care anymore. She wrapped her arms around Alex and kissed him passionately.
Alex let go as well, grabbing her rear end and giving it a tight squeeze as Jasmine moaned in his mouth.
Jasmine withdrew and pulled Alex's face into her breasts, holding him there for a few moments as she rubbed his head and ran her hands through his hair.
After a minute, Jasmine came down and kissed him again. Alex carried Jasmine onto the beach and laid her down, Jasmine getting into a seductive position as she aimed her butt at him.
"I was wondering if you had seen it earlier, and if you liked what you saw."
"Let me give you a hint." Alex said as he came down and gave her a long kiss on the right cheek, Jasmine giving a satisfied sound before feeling Alex spank her other cheek. Alex switched positions, hissing her left cheek while spanking her right. He kept this up for a minute or two until both her cheeks were red.
Jasmine got up and wrapped her arms around Alex, brining him to his back as she kissed him and crawled on top of Alex. Alex held her by the rear end and pulled Jasmine's waist into his.
Totodile and Croconaw were horrified at what they saw, neither intending for that to happen. Croconaw, however, after a minute began to laugh hysterically as Totodile sweat dropped.
Deeper in the water Lugia was also watching in great disgust, giving an un-approving. sound and face.
That was when he noticed a much larger creature beside him, it was a metal skinned charizard like dragon with a very excited expression, his tongue out and the end of his fiery tail wagging.
"Grauuu." He growled sounding excited watching the two, Lugia shaking his head.
Later that night onboard the Leviathan Takeru was laying awake in his chamber with Quinn already asleep beside him.
He carefully got up and went over to his scrolls before he found the one he was looking for.
"Shinken White."
