Chapter 25: Death Knight coming.
Dairun, Milon and Noosu were in a chamber underneath the castle. They placed the treasures on a table in front of an ancient armour, with a resemblance to a Zoroark, but with a fortified skin and no hair. Milon was reluctant about placing the Battlizer Bracelet with the Crimson Diamond on the table.
"Lay it down, you will still be able to use it after the ritual." said Dairun.
Milon nodded and put the bracelet on the table. Dairun puts Oozie's core which contained another treasure, a Yellow Gemstone.
"With these treasures we will not only bring this knight back from life, but he will receive great powers too." he said as he took forth a book and read from it. Suddenly so did the treasures glow as the armour was filled with a being.
It rose up and the Zoroark armour aligns itself, then a short cape came out of its back with the hair of a Zoroark growing out of the helmet. The helmet was open enough to show a mouth of a human. On its sides was a mace and a shield with a figure that looks like Arceus.
"Where am I?" asked the knight, looking around in confusion.
He then saw Dairun and began to attack. But Dairun took forth his sword and sliced his mace in half and then grabbed him by its throat.
"I see that you remember me. That's good and all, but your lord isn't dead." said Dairun, which made the knight calmer.
"He isn't?" the knight said. "But where is he. Has Arceus really imprisoned him?"
"No, that responsibility was put on the knight of Palkia and me, the only ones who survived in that battle centuries ago."
"Can you really promise me the safety of my lord?" asked the knight.
"Yes, as long as you do what I say. If you succeed, then I will let you be with your lord, but if you fail, the punishment will be severe."
"I understand... sir." the knight said, bowing down before the knight of Dialga.
Andrea was seen at Jake's house, ploughing the garden together with Jake's dad.
"So how come that you wanted me to plough the snow instead of Jake?" asked Andrea.
"That's because I don't want to get in between him and his girlfriend." said Paulo.
"Oh, I'm sure that he wouldn't mind helping you with chores."
"Your parents told me that you needed to work too instead of sitting in front of the computer all day."
Andrea gave out a laugh and nods. Even though he does some body work when fighting as a Ranger, he is unable to tell it to anyone.
Jake and Lucria were walking around in the Hopes Mall, trying to fend of lots of people just so they could get the last gifts they needed to buy to their friends.
"Phew, we really should have bought all those presents months before December." said Lucria.
"I agree, but with all the monster attacks so is it pretty hard to come up with planning in advance." said Jake as he saw an old lady tripping over.
Jake and Lucria rushed forward and saved her from falling.
"Oh, thank you dears." said the old lady and handed them over a mistletoe. "You're a fine example that everyone of the young generations aren't being selfish dummies."
She then went to the dress shop, beating down several people on her way.
Jake and Lucria looked at each others confused and then at the mistletoe, they looked back at each others and Jake lifts the mistletoe between them and were going to kiss.
But... a hand came and took it away. It flew out of the mall.
Jake and Lucria followed it out, or at least tried to with all the people flocking around.
But then they did finally get out and could follow the hand into the park, where it attached to a puppet looking monster with a Dusknoir torso and the head of a Nuzleaf.
"Kee ka ka ka. You came Rangers... why haven't you called the others for?" asked the puppet monster.
"Why would we when there's nothing serious going on?" asked Lucria back.
"Kee... are you trying to make me a fool?" asked the puppet.
"Stop with the questioning and give us answers. What are you up to Chrono monster?" asked Jake.
"You hypocrite... I'm no Chrono monster, I'm Killer Doll Pinechio." said the puppet. "And I'm simply here to crush you."
"That's quite ill planned, but we will not be defeated by a freakish doll like you." said Lucria and pressed her watch. "Poké Power!"
"Poké Power!" said Jake and pressed his watch too.
They both then became the Blue Lucario Ranger and Red Luxray Ranger.
They then engaged with the puppet monster.
Lucria and Jake tried to punch and kick it, but it looked like their attacks didn't work on it.
"Kee he he he. Did you really think that you could defeat me?" asked Pinechio
They then called forth their weapons, the Luxrod and Lucria's Bonerush Bone. But when they attacked Pinechio, their weapons didn't work either.
"What the heck?" exclaimed Jake as his weapon passed through. "It's like he doesn't really exists."
Lucria closes her eyes to see that the monster's aura is only in its head and fists.
"There!" said Lucria and smashed its head with her Bonerush Bone only to find out that it was a small robot.
"What the... what's going on?" asked Jake as the monster disappeared.
"That's easy, you were fighting a distraction." said a familiar flamboyant voice.
The pair turned around and saw Milon who immediately took forth his watch and bracelet.
"Chrono Power!" he said and transformed into Battlized Chrono Ranger.
Binnie, Ricky and Claese were at the Flora family's house.
"I didn't know that you could make such cute clothes for Pokémon." said Ricky holding up a pink dress.
"But now you know, and with my "brother" so can I make clothes not just for my three Pokémon. Do you think this dress will suit a Sandslash?" asked Binnie.
The two girls looked at Claese who dropped a sweat drop and ran away.
Before the girls could call Claese back so did their watches beep.
"Binnie, Ricky, Claese, Lucria and Jake are under attack." said Percy.
"What do we need Claese for when I'm the Black Mightyena Ranger?" asked Ricky.
"He will probably still be helpful to you." replied the president.
"Ok then." said Binnie and dragged Ricky and Claese with her.
Andrea had already gotten the call from Percy and ran away, transforming into Yellow Bastiodon Ranger and calling his Poké Bike.
He rode it and met Binnie and the others on his way who transformed and called their bikes, but Claese sat behind Ricky on her Poké Bike.
They then saw Bash already transformed on his own Poké Bike coming.
"You would never believe me, here I was in a store meeting up with a woman. The thing is that she recognized me as a criminal, so as a distraction I played some piebola and kicked a pie at the window, then I ran off and then got the call from Percy." said Bash.
"You know, it isn't called piebola, but futball." said Andrea.
"So what?" asked Bash rhetorically
At the same time, Lucria and Jake were trying to fend off the Chrono Ranger, who proved to be too strong for them.
"Geez, where's the others? You two alone doesn't make a challenge." laughed Milon, but then heard the sounds of engines.
He turned around to see the Poké Bikes flying at him, but luckily (for him that is) he was able to dodge them. Then suddenly someone came by and attacked the riding Rangers.
They all looked at what it was who attacked them, seeing a knight in a Zoroark armour.
"What the heck is up with you? I had it all under control!" shouted Milon.
The Rangers looked at the knight and then at Milon and then back to the knight.
"Who are you?" Jake asked the knight.
"I am your worst nightmare." said the knight and brought forth his mace. "I am Death Knight Valdemar."
"Blue Lucario Ranger. Aura is with me."
"Red Luxray Ranger. Gonna zap through for victory."
"Yellow Bastiodon Ranger. Knowing is half the battle."
"Pink Venomoth Ranger. Look at me."
"Black Mightyena Ranger. Do your best and I'll do better."
"Jade Scyther Ranger. The man who's gonna rule the world."
"Poké Rangers Poké Power!" they all said and posed, with explosions on the background.
"It's good that you don't do these things every time we meet." said Milon, irritated and went to attack. But, he was stopped by Valdemar.
"You have already done enough. I'll take care of things from here." said Valdemar.
"But that's stupid. I haven't even gotten to fight, and you can't defeat them alone."
Ignoring the armoured Milotic-morph, he walked towards the Rangers, swinging his mace.
The Rangers separated and and used their special attacks on him, though his shield did block most of the attacks.
"Are you really the Poké Power Rangers?" asked Valdemar. "You're quite disappointing."
"Shut up already!" said Bash and clashed his Gunblade against Valdemar's mace.
"Do you think you can defeat me?" asked Valdemar.
"Heck yeah I do." he said and moved a bit, still holding Valdemar in a lock.
Valdemar could see that the other Rangers have combined their weapons.
"Fire!" they all yelled and Bash lets go of his lock just before the shot hit the Death Knight, rendering him weak.
"Impressive." said Valdemar. "Looks like you will be a good adversary for me until we meet again."
"Wait, do you mean that we're not going to defeat them now even though we're able to do it?" complained Milon.
"Trust me, this is just a part of a bigger plan." said Valdemar and began to walk away. "But you can go and fight them if you want."
Milon looked at the Rangers and thought it through.
"I'll give you time to prepare for the oncoming battle, just to show you that I'm still better than you in my awesome Battlizer armour." said Milon and called forth a buggy which he jumped into.
"Should we follow them?" asked Ricky.
"No need to. I have already scanned them both. So we will be able to come up with a plan to defeat them and hopefully retrieve the treasures." said Claese.
"So then we need to go to Poképower to come up with said plan, right Lucria?" asked Andrea, but he saw Lucria and Jake already in their normal human and Pokémorph forms, kissing each others as Lucria held the mistletoe above them.
"Aww... their first kiss. I never thought they would do that." said Binnie as the rest of them became untransformed.
They then heard footsteps, so Claese turned into his human form.
Turning around, they saw Pal, the knight of Palkia.
"Pal, long time no see." said Bash. "Last time we met, I beat you in the can."
"Yes, I remember that. I as a knight can't forgive you for that, but I'll put it aside for this once." said Pal and was going to say something but saw Jake and Lucria, but Lucria was a normal Lucario.
"Honestly Jake and Lucria, that's gross." said Pal, which made Jake and Lucria realize their situation.
"Sorry, I didn't think clearly when I was going to morph into my human form." said Lucria as she morphed into her morph form, blushing.
"Uhm... well... I didn't realize it because your muzzle doesn't change between two of your three forms." said Jake and blushed even redder.
"But why did you come now, and especially when we're not in our Ranger forms?" asked Lucria.
"Because I wanted to get to you as soon as possible to give you a warning. Team Chrono are now planning their greatest plan yet." said Pal.
All the Rangers and Claese were silent as they awaited Pal to talk.
The end?
Cyborg-Lucario: Well, this chapter didn't feature much, except the introduction of a new character, Jake and Lucria finally kissing and the thing about team Chrono's big plan. The rest was just fighting.
Before I end this so do I have to say that I do not really think that a human and an anthropomorphic Pokémon kissing is wrong, but when it come to normal Pokémon... then I guess that it mostly works for funny moments depending on what kind of Pokémon it is.
So you go on and call me crazy all you want.
Reshiram and now Zoroark. What other gen5 Pokémon will be referenced? None. Because I don't know of all the new Pokémon that's been announced and I don't know the official English names of the ones I know of (didn't stop me from using Reshiram and Zoroark though). And I don't want to know them either until I get to play Black, so no spoilers.
No previews for the next chapter this time, except...
Valdemar: So this new monster is going going to assist us throughout this plan?
Milon: Is he supposed to be pink, purple or indigo? For if he is pink, then we just need someone blue, yellow and green.
So until next time, see ya!
