Chapter 35: Family
It was early in the morning on route 6 and the Zyurangers were up doing their daily training with their pokemon.
Red was sparring against Gary.
Since their fighting styles were practically complete opposites it was a good challenge for them both.
Red trying to unleash successive and continuous powerful strikes while Gary did his best to redirect them.
At the same time Charmeleon was battling with Brionne, the two unleashing water gun and flamethrower into each other to increase their attack power.
Charmeleon putting more and more energy into his fire while Red kept moving more and more intensely.
Gary did his best to keep up, but Red knocked his arm away and delivered three fast punches to his chest and a kick to his stomach.
At the same time Charmeleon's fire burned through Brionne's water and knocked her back.
Gary was knocked back onto the ground Red covered in sweat and breathing deeply.
"Alright you won this time." Gary said before Red helped him up.
Gary noticed something a little odd, when Red hit him those last few times, it almost felt like his foot and hands were hot, as in heated up.
"Alright guys, I think that's enough." Ash said as the others gave fatigued looks.
"Alright I say we talk plans for today after we wash up." Moon said.
"Sounds good." Gary said.
Red was with his pokemon near a small pool of water as he took his shirt off.
Golisopod was giving baby Skarmory a bath in the water while Charmeleon breathed fire on his body to dry up any sweat and burn away any odor or germs.
"Red." He heard as he turned to see Lillie standing there in her usual running attire.
"Hey how was your run?"
"It went fine."
"That's good, maybe one of these days you'll let me teach you to fight." Red said smiling as Lillie gave a frightened look.
"No thanks."
"Not even Serena or Moon?"
"No thankssssssss." Lillie said as she saw Red strip down and get into the water.
"Ahhh that's better." He said.
Lillie's face turned red.
"Why do you have to do that out in the open where anyone could see you?"
"No one's ever seen me before, except you, besides do you want me to stink all day?"
"Well." Lillie said.
"I think you could use a bath too." Red said with a mischievous look before he pulled Lillie into the water.
"Ahh Red!" She shouted as Red laughed.
"No you've done it!" Lillie said getting out of her wet cloths and underwear before she tried to dunk Red to no avail.
Red got Lillie in his arms and kissed her passionately, Lillie kissing him back.
Lillie and Red rubbed soap on each other before Red heard the sound of piano music.
"Do you hear Piano music?"
"Oh yeah , that's my music player."
"I didn't know you liked Piano music?"
"I was thinking about Gladion again this morning, I sometimes listen to it when I think about him."
"Gladion?"
"Mom use to make Gladion play classical Piano music, she would sometimes make him practice for hours at a time. Hire expensive piano tutors to teach him. But what she didn't know what Gladion actually liked playing the Piano, maybe deep down he might have enjoyed it so much to spite her since she didn't care if he liked it or not. Sometimes when I was feeling sad he'd play it and try to cheer me up."
"That was sweet of him."
Lillie nodded.
"Speaking of family, you've told me all about your mom, Ash, but you never talk much about your dad." Lillie said as Red started to look a little uncomfortable.
"My dad." He said taking a deep breath.
"Well…..His name is Satoshi."
"Yes, and." Lillie said.
"Well, he was a pretty well renowned pokemon trainer in Kanto, he once even beat a member of the elite four."
"Wow that's impressive."
"Yeah, impressive. He doesn't do much of that anymore, he owns a chain of stores that sell pokemon supplies in Kanto."
"You mom and him are divorced right?"
Red didn't respond for a moment.
"Yeah, the divorce happened just before we moved to Alola. Our mom found a better job here."
"Why didn't your dad come to graduation."
"Probably because I haven't seen him since the divorce."
"What?"
"My dad ruined everything, he ruined his marriage with my mom and destroyed our family." Red said.
"Red my mom literally kidnapped my brother after years or torment , he can't be that bad." Lillie said.
"Maybe one day when you meet him, you'll understand."
Later that morning after finishing breakfast, the group was continuing down route six.
"So we should reach Royal Avenue by tomorrow if we keep moving." Hau said.
"I can't wait." Serena said sounding very excited.
"We trained twice as long as normal this morning, I'm too tired." Moon said hunched forward.
"Well we could stop at Straight Street." Lillie said.
"Straight street?" Gary asked.
"Yeah it's a rest town for tourists and travelers."
"Let's stop there." Moon said.
"Come on Moon , I want to get to Royal Avenue." Serena said.
"Serena my legs are killing me."
"I know you spend all morning trying to punch and kick me."
"Then you should know how tired I am." Moon said.
Serena gave a defeated look.
"Fine."
Moon looked very happy as they followed Lillie, Sere continuing her expression until she felt Ash pick her up in his arms.
"Hey how about I cheer you up with some dinner tonight."
Serena smiled and blushed a little.
"That might help."
They arrived at Straight Street, seeing that it clearly was a tourist town. Having three hotels, and a mostly smaller shops.
The group went into one of the hotels as Moon and Lillie checked them all in.
Red was standing near a tv with Gary as they heard a familiar sound.
The two looked up to see an episode of Power Rangers playing, showing Ash's fight against Lickilost.
Gary shook his head and walked off when he heard the voice actor make Ash say " totally tubular" when he punched Lickilost.
Red stayed and watched a little of it before he heard something else.
"Boom I got you Scorpina!" A voice said as Red turned to see a little girl holding a toy version of his Tyranoranger sword.
The little girl had yellow blonde hair and brown eyes just like Red's.
"You can't beat me, I'm the Red ranger." She said before bumping into Red.
"Ohh sorry mister." She said.
"It's ok." Red said before a man approached the little girl.
"Clara, there you are, don't just run off like that." He said picking her up.
"Sorry daddy, I was fighting Scorpina." She said as Red saw the man and he saw him.
"Red, we have the rooms." Hau said before he saw a man standing in front of Red, a man wearing a red jacket with a black undershirt and jeans. He had thick spike black hair and brown eyes, looking just like Red only with a different hair color.
Ash saw him.
"Oh boy."
"What's going on?" Serena asked.
"That's Satoshi, Red's father."
"Red."
"….Dad."
There was a silence between the two as they stared at each other, the others except Ash sweat dropping.
"Wow you could cut the tension with a knife." Gary said before Moon elbowed him.
"Satoshi, oh good you found Clara I." A woman said as she walked up to him.
The woman had long yellow hair just like Clara with brown eyes.
"Oh my." She said seeing Red.
"What are you doing here?" Satoshi asked.
"I live in Alola now, don't you remember?" Red said in a certain tone.
"Red, this is your dad?" Lillie asked.
"Yes…."
"Daddy who is this?" Clara asked.
"Clara , remember when I told you that you had a big brother."
Lillie's eyes widened.
"You have a sister!" She almost shouted.
"You have a sister!" Serena almost shouted at Ash before it hit her.
"Wait, she wouldn't be your sister. Sorry forgot about the whole half brother thing."
"Ash." Satoshi said seeing him.
"Satoshi." He said back.
"U'm, well you guys look busy so I'm gonna go call Mallow, see how she's doing." Gary said as he walked off.
"Yeah I'm just going to uh, help him find the phone." Moon said as she grabbed Hau and walked off with him.
"What are you doing in Alola?" Red asked.
"We're on vacation." Satoshi said.
"Well, not that you care, but I started my journey, and it's going great." He said before walking off.
"Red." Lillie said going after him.
"Red!" Satoshi said.
Red went up to one of the rooms and sat there with just his pokemon.
He took a deep breath as Charmeleon and Golisopod looked at him with concern.
The door opened as Lillie walked in.
"Red." She said.
"Lillie I don't want to talk about it."
She came over and sat beside him.
"Red, this is your father. I want to know what's going on."
Red took a deep breath.
"Lillie I never told you how my dad destroyed our family. Clara is the reason."
"Clara, wait a minute, don't tell me."
Red tightened his fist.
"He left my mother for his new wife, Yellow. The last time I saw Clara she was just a toddler. He doesn't care about me anymore, just his new child and his new wife. But it's not just that, even when he was around eh never let Ash and I start a journey no matter how much we asked or begged. He started his journey when he was ten years old."
"Red this might be the perfect time to talk to him, clear the air. Get to know your sister better."
Red took a deep breath.
"I don't think I can do that Lillie."
After Red left the room he was with Charmeleon as they tried to head outside as Red got downstairs.
As soon as he did he saw Satoshi waiting for him.
"Red." He said as Red walked in the other direction.
"Red wait, I just want to talk."
"Yeah well I don't." Red said as Charmeleon gave an uncomfortable look, leaving with him.
Red went outside to get some fresh air with Charmeleon.
They made their way outside and to a park area of the town where many people were out with their pokemon.
He sat down at a bench before noticing Yellow and Clara nearby.
He took a deep breath, especially when she saw Clara come near him.
"So are you really my big brother?" She asked.
"Yeah, I am?"
"If you're my brother then why don't you live with us, why don't I ever see you?"
Red gave an irritated look.
"Because, I'm only your half brother."
"What does that mean?"
"It means we have the same dad but different moms."
Clara was clearly too young to understand what was going on.
"Why are you so mad at daddy?"
"Because he's a bad daddy."
"What, he's the best daddy in the world."
Red didn't want to lash out at Clara, she was just a little girl, she hadn't done anything wrong.
"Look Clara it's complicated."
"Wait is this your Charmeleon?"
"Yes."
"Wow he's just like Daddy's charizard, only more red." She said before Charizard gave Clara a few licks which made her laugh.
"Why do you life here in Alola?"
"Because I'm on my pokemon Journey."
"Like the one daddy tells me about."
"Sort of."
Clara then dropped something.
"Oh no." She said as Red looked down and saw it was a plastic version of his Dino buckler, he remembered seeing them in some stored sold to kids as Power ranger morphemes.
"I don't want to lost my morpher." She said.
"You like power rangers?"
"It's only my favoritist show ever. I've seen every episode and I love them! The way they fight evil is so cool! Their suits, and the megawords. My favorite one is the Red ranger."
"Not the pink or yellow ranger?"
"No, the Red ranger, he's my favorite." That was when Clara noticed Red's dino buckler in his jacket.
"Hey you have a toy morpher too." Clara said.
Red was confused at first until he realized she must have seen his dino buckler.
He quickly put it away.
"You like power rangers too."
"Uh yeah, right." He said.
"One day I want to meet the real Red Ranger."
"Clara you know it's just a tv show right?"
"No, they're real, I know they are." She said before none other than Satoshi approached.
"Clara could you give us a minute."
"Ok daddy she said walking off."
Charmeleon noticed Satoshi had a large Charizard beside him as he sat down next to Red on the bench.
Charmeleon and the Charizard eyeballed each other.
Red and Satoshi sat in silence for a minute.
"Red, can we please just talk."
"I have nothing to talk to you about dad."
"Red I know we didn't leave on the best terms, but I want to make things right between us."
Red took a deep breath.
"Dad it's not that simple."
"Red I understand why you're upset with me, and if I were in your situation I'd be upset. But I don't want us to stay like this."
"Stay like what, you choosing your new family over your old."
"Red."
"By the way what did you think of my graduation, oh yeah that's right, you weren't there."
Satoshi gave a guilty look.
"Red"
"Dad enough, you can sit here and try to bullshit me on how you still love me, and who it's complicated. I'm not a kid anymore, I'm an adult, and I don't need this anymore." He got up with Charmeleon nervously following him.
"Goodbye dad."
"Red wait!" Red didn't stop.
Satoshi sat back down holding his face as his Charizard tried to comfort him.
Clara kept pretending she was the red ranger fighting monsters when she passed a man by a card.
The man looked very dirty , looking as if he had not shaved or bathed in a long time. He also smelled funny. He wore a very old fashioned military uniform and had shades on.
Clara noticed something else creepy about the man, his right arm seemed to be missing.
The man was sitting against his cart of balloons with a half empty bottle of brownish liquid inside.
"Hey mister , what happened to your arm?"
"That's not a very polite thing to ask" He said, his voice sounding funny.
"I'm sorry." Clara said before he saw her look over at Red.
"Where's big brother going?"
The man took interest in this.
"That's your big brother?"
"Yes, oh mister, by the way have you seen any monsters around here? I'm a power ranger." She said taking out her morphed.
The man got up.
"Little girl, would you like a balloon?"
"Ok." Clara said taking one.
Later at the hotel Red was back in his room with his pokemon.
He was very conflicted about his father, a part of him wishing he would just go away so he could get on with his life.
That was when the door opened behind him.
"Lillie I really don't feel like talking about it right now."
"Well that's too bad." Ash said as Red turned to see his bother.
"Ash."
He came over and sat beside Red.
"I suppose Lillie told you ."
"She did, but she didn't need to. Even if you told her Red she doesn't know jack shit about your situation with Satoshi."
"I love Lillie, but you're right, you know what he did was horrible."
"Absolutely."
"The way he left mom. The way he wouldn't let us go on our journey."
"Or the fact that he was never really a father too me."
"Exactly!"
"Of course he wasn't father, the same can't be said for you."
Red looked at Ash with Pikachu on his shoulder.
"Red, despite what Satoshi did at the end, you can't say he was a bad father to you…Red, Satoshi was there for you. When you took for first steps, said your first words. He drove you to your first day of school and picked you up. He cancelled a huge match against Lance because you were sick and he didn't want to leave your bedside."
Red started to look back.
"I can't think of a time when you were having trouble or sad that Satoshi wasn't there to pick you up and help. You can call him a lot of things Red, but Satoshi was not a bad father."
Red looked at Ash again.
"Red you don't know what I would give to be able to say that about my father, or even have the opportunity to make up with him. If you walk away from your father now, you might regret it for the rest of your life."
A single tear came down Red's face before he hugged Ash, Charmeleon looking relieved.
"I'm sorry Ash."
"Don't sit here feeling bad for me, go find Satoshi."
Red and Charmeleon left immediately.
As Red and Charmeleon went down to the lobby they saw Satoshi and Clara giving frantic looks.
"Red!" Satoshi shouted.
"Dad what's wrong?"
"Clara she's missing!" Yellow shouted.
"What!?"
"We lost her at the park , we've been looking everywhere, is she with you!?
"No, hold on I'll get the others to held look for her."
Red and the others began searching the town with their pokemon.
"Clara! Clara!" Red shouted.
"Char!"
They were looking around the park , even asking a few people, but no one had seen her.
Red and Charmeleon kept looking around the park when Charmeleon saw something on the ground and sniffed it.
"Char!" He said calling Red over.
Red saw a popped balloon next to the toy morpher.
"Her toy." Red said in concern before he smelled alcohol.
Red saw a one armed man with a balloon stand and approached him.
"Hey, have you seen a little blonde girl, she had this toy with her?"
The man put down his bottle of whiskey.
"As a matter of fact I have, Zyuranger."
Red's eyes widened as there was a flash of light.
Back in the hotel Ash and the others had met back up in their room.
"We couldn't find her." Serena said in concern.
"Neither could we, wait where's Red?" Ash asked moments later the door opened, CHarmeleon rushing inside.
"Charmeleon, what are you doing here alone?"
"Char , Charmeleon!"
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted as he heard him.
"What's wrong?" Gary asked.
Pikachu and Charmeleon quickly went over to Ash's bag and got out the book of Gorma.
"The book of Gorma, you don't think?" Moon asked.
"Red!" Lillie shouted.
"Come on we need to find him, show us where he he went missing."
They ran into the lobby when they saw none other than Samson Oak in a robe come out of a room.
"Samson?" Ash said as he quickly shut the door and looked embarrassed.
"Zyurangers, what are you doing here?" He asked.
"We were stopping to rest, what are you doing here?"
"Oh that's not important." He said nervously sweat dropping.
"Samson Red's been taken by a Gorma." Serena said.
"What?! Which one?"
Ash took out the book as Charmeleon flipped it to the page of the human form he saw.
Samson's eyes widened.
"Oh that's bad, that's very bad."
Elsewhere in a more open area Red was dropped onto the ground with his hands bound.
"Big brother!" He heard as he saw Clara in front of him.
"Clara!"
She ran over and hugged him.
"I'm scared." She said sounding terrified and sad.
"Ha ha ha ha." They heard from a familiar voice.
Red and Clara saw the man from earlier slowly appear out of thin air.
"Alola Zyuranger" He said with a very creepy smile.
"Zyuranger?" Lillie asked.
"Gorma." Red said.
"What gave me away?"
"Why did you take us?"
"I need a proper bargain chip and what better than a Zyuranger, with you he'll have no choice but to give me my arm back."
"What?"
"You'll see soon enough."
"It's me you want, let her go." Red said.
"Afraid I can't do that Zyuranger, having a Zyuranger is good , but a Zyuranger and his sister is even better."
"I want to go back to mommy and daddy."
The man laughed.
"You won't be seeing your mommy and daddy again unless I get my arm little bitch."
Red was very enraged now, Clara hugging him even tighter as the man spun around, turning into his monster form. Red seeing he was scizor like gorma with his right arm missing.
"Ha ha ha."
Clara was on the verge of tears seeing him.
"You're, you're a monster. The power rangers will get you, they'll come and save us." She said.
"I don't know what you're talking about little bitch, but no one is coming for you." He said laughing before he vanished.
Clara started to cry again as Red tried to comfort her.
"It's ok Clara, I promise you everything's going to be ok."
Elsewhere in the Hotel Samson had gotten dressed and was looking at the page.
"His name is Scizor Vagrant. Six thousand years ago he was one of the most dangerous warriors in the Gorma tribe." He said pointing to his right claw which was solid gold.
"His right arm was known as the golden demon claw, he could send out unbeatable strikes with it. He became an unstoppable warrior, entire armies falling to him. Even the original Zyurangers were forced to retreat every time they fought him."
"Oh my God." Moon said as Lillie looked like she was ready to faint.
"How was he beaten?" Ash asked.
"Because his strike was so powerful, he became arrogant and would often get drunk after battles. On one occasion he slaughtered an entire village and then gathered up all the alcohol and got drunk. The original Tyranoranger took advantage of this and cut off his arm. He brought it back to the Zyutribe who sealed the arm away. After that Scizor Vagrant was shamed by the other Gorma and forced out of the Gorma tribe."
"Why would he kidnap Red and Clara?" Hau asked.
"Because we still have his arm?"
"What?" They all said as Samson nodded.
"I know where the arm was kept, and could retrieve it. It's likely he plans to use them as a bargaining chip for his arm back."
"What should we do?" Serena asked.
"We have to get Red back." Lillie said.
"I know, but giving him back his arm, that could be dangerous, and we don't even know he'll keep his word." Ash said.
"Regardless find the Gorma and I'll go to the arm's hiding place. Good luck."
The Zyurangers rushed to the lobby where they saw Satoshi and Yellow.
"Where's Red? Have you seen Clara?" Satoshi asked.
"Well, we might know where Clara is, we just need to check." Moon said.
"We're coming with you." Satoshi said.
"Well that probably wouldn't be necessary." Hau started before Yellow grabbed him.
"We're coming with you!" She screamed, Hau looking terrified and sweat dropping.
Elsewhere, Scizor Vagrant was in his human form sitting on top of his cart drinking whiskey.
He then saw none other than General Guzma appear.
"General Guzma."
"Scizor Vagrant, it's been some time. I understand you have a Zyuranger in your possession."
"I do."
"Well hand him over."
Scizor Vagrant laughed.
"It doesn't work that way, I'm not a Gorma anymore, you saw to that. If you want the Zyuranger bring me my arm back."
"I don't have it, the Zyutribe took it."
"You want the Zyuranger, my arm."
"Find I'll just take him from you then." Guzma shouted before Scizor Vagrant revealed a string of grenades, tossing them down one by one as Guzma jumped around trying to avoid them.
"Ahhh! Enough!" He shouted before vanishing.
Scizor Vagrant laughed as he drank some more whiskey.
"I will get my arm back, and then I will definitely go back to being the ultimate warrior." He said before drinking more whiskey and looking at Red's dino buckler he had taken.
Red and Clara were still together as she held onto her brother.
"I don't get it, the power rangers were suppose to be here by now. Why aren't they coming?" Clara asked.
"Don't worry Clara, I'm sure they're coming."
"I want to go home big brother. I want to see mommy and daddy again." Clara said crying.
"Hey you know what I bet, I bet that Daddy is looking for the power rangers right now, so he can tell them personally to come and find us."
"The power rangers really aren't real are they."
"No why would you say that?"
"The monster never even heard of them. No one is coming to save us."
"No Clara I promise you, the power rangers are real. I, I've met the Red ranger."
"You, you have."
"Yes, and he saved me from a monster before."
"Really."
Red nodded as Clara looked less afraid.
Meanwhile Ash and the others had gotten away from Satoshi and Yellow.
"Thank God Lillie was able to distract them." Gary said.
"We need to hurry, Go dino buckler!"
They all armored up and quickly searched the area.
"And that's where they went. They got a call from Red back at the Hotel, maybe we should go too." Lillie said before Yellow saw the Zyurangers.
"Wait a minute, those cant' be, are those the power rangers?"
"Shit." Yellow said.
"Are they filming out here? Maybe Clara saw them and went to their set!" Satoshi shouted as they chased after them.
"No wait!"
The Zyurangers entered the open area and saw Scizor Vagrant with Red and Clara.
"Red!" Ash shouted.
"Guys!"
Clara's eyes lit up as she saw them.
"They're real! They really are real! The Power rangers! Wait where's the Red ranger?"
Scizor Vagrant smiled as he got up.
"Zyurangers, right on time." He said before he transformed into his monster form.
"Give them to us now!" Ash shouted.
"Pika!"
"As soon as I get my arm back."
Moments later Satoshi and Yellow entered the area with Lillie beside them.
"Is that a monster? I think you were right, but wait where's the camera crew?" Yellow asked.
"Clara!" Satoshi shouted as he saw her and Red.
"Daddy!" She shouted as she tried to run only for Scizor Vagrant to hurl his hand forward, a blast hitting the ground in front of her.
"Clara!" Red and her parents shouted.
Clara was on the ground crying as Red tried to get over to her.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!" Satoshi shouted.
"I'm getting my golden arm back, as soon as the Zyurangers give me it, then your daughter is yours, but anyone else makes a move, they die."
The Zyurangers were afraid to do anything else.
"Wait a minute, this isn't all real is it?" Yellow shouted as Lillie gave an irritated look.
"Yes, it's all real." She said.
"Red! Clara!" Satoshi shouted.
Elsewhere Samson was concentrated as he lifted a container out of a lake, using a special key to open it.
Inside was a growling solid gold scizor arm.
A blast hit near Samson, knocking him away as he hear a laugh.
Guzma appeared and quickly grabbed the arm.
"Thank you very much." He said.
"No!" Samson shouted as Guzma smiled, vanishing.
Guzma appeared in the open area.
"Scizor Vagrant quickly take your arm back!"
Scizor's eyes lit up as he saw the arm before it flew over to him and attached itself to his socket.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! The golden warrior has returned!"
"Alright you have your arm back, now give us Red and Clara!" Ash shouted.
"Fool, if I give them back to Guzma I'll become a Gorma once again!"
"That's right Scizor Vagrant!" Guzma shouted as he flew down and landed beside him.
"Now use that Golden strike of yours to destroy the Zyurangers."
Scizor Vagrant flew at the Zyurangers, his Golden arm glowing as he slammed it into Gary who tried to redirect the attack but was hurled across the entire area and into a tree.
"Ouch."
Serena tried to avoid his attack but he smashed his claws into her , hurling her across the area as well.
Hau and Moon both tried to strike his arm , but he met their strike with his own, hurling them back.
Guzma unleashed a blast from his sword at Ash who used his dragon dagger to project activate his golden shield, deflecting it before his dagger met Guzma's sword.
Guzma tried to kick Ash but he slashed his leg back before being backhanded by Guzma's other hand.
Pikachu tried to hit him with Iron tail but Guzma vanished and reappeared behind him slashing Ash's back as he landed on Pikachu.
Scizor Vagrant unleashed another blast at Satoshi and Yellow tried to reach their daughter to no avail.
"Clara!" Yellow shouted.
Scizor Vagrant returned to the other Zyurangers and kept fighting them off as Red saw Charmeleon had reached them.
"Charmeleon!"
"Char!" He said as he did his best to free Red of the ropes.
"Charmeleon he took my Dino Buckler." Red said as Clara saw the Zyurangers keep getting knocked back again and again.
"They need the Red ranger, where is he?"
Red got up when he saw Clara walk towards Scizor Vagrant.
"Clara what are you doing!"
"You said the Red ranger would save me, if the monster comes at me then he'll show up!"
"Clara no!" Satoshi shouted.
"Dam it, no wonder the last Zyurangers couldn't beat this guy." Gary grunted as he tried to get up.
"Come on, we have to keep fighting." Moon said before they saw Clara step in front of Scizor Vagrant.
"I'm not afraid of you monster! I know the Red ranger will save me!"
"Little bitch." Scizor Vagrant said as he raised his Golden arm.
Yellow looked away as Satoshi tried to do the same.
"Noo!" Red screamed as he sprinted over and leapt into Scizor Vagrant, kicking him and grabbing his dino buckler before he landed in front of Clara.
Scizor Vagrant saw him.
"Go dino buckler!" Red screamed as his armor formed over him.
Satoshi's mouth dropped as Clara's eyes lit up like never before.
"Come at me!" Red shouted as Scizor Vagrant tried to strike him only for a powerful flamethrower to hit his front.
Enhanced Charmeleon revealed himself as he blasted Scizor Vagrant with fire, making him back up.
Red sprinted forward as Scizor Vagrant raised his golden arm.
Red punched his arm back and then quickly punched his chest two more times incredibly fast.
Scizor Vagrant could feel more heat and power coming from Red's strikes as he did so.
Scizor Vagrant tried to use his arm strike but Charmeleon blasted him with more fire while Red delivered a powerful kick to his head before continuing into several more fast strikes, knocking his other claw back.
"Hyuaaa!" Red screamed as Charmeleon bit down on his non golden arm with fire fang, making Scizor Vagrant lose balance while Red punched him one more time, a small burst of fire exploding in Scizor Vagrant's face as he was hurled back onto the ground.
Meanwhile Ash used his arm blades to deflect Guzma's sword strikes before slashing his body twice with his claws and Dragon Dagger.
"Pika chu!" Pikachu shouted as he blasted Guzma with electricity.
"Ahhh!" He screamed in pain , backing up.
The other four Zyurangers formed up around Red.
"Your evil ends here." Red said.
Scizor Vagrant got up with an enlargement bomb in hand.
"That's what you think!" He shouted as he pulled the pin and hurled the bomb onto the ground.
The explosion shook the ground, Scizor Vagrant growing massive.
"Now I'll crush you all!" He shouted as he slammed his golden fist onto the ground, knocking them all off their feet.
"Let's go Daizyujin!" Red shouted as the ground shook.
The Guardian beasts coming out and forming Daizyujin with the Zyurangers inside.
"Go get him guys." Lillie said as Satoshi and Yellow sprinted over, grabbing Clara.
"Clara! Clara my baby." Yellow said as she grabbed her.
"Let's go." Yellow said.
"Mommy I want to see the Megazord!" Clara said.
Daizyujin marched at Scizor who brought his Golden arm back and smashed it into Daizyujin, shaking him and the Zyurangers.
"Let's avoid his attacks." Serena said as Daizyujin tried to move more swiftly, unfortunately it didn't work.
Scizor Vagrant slammed his golden arm into Daizyujin again, hurling him onto the ground.
"That's not going to work, we need to hit him before he hits us!" Red shouted as Daizyujin got back up.
"Red , synch your aura with mine, make your attacks mine!" Daizyujin said as Red concentrated, his aura synchronized with Daizyujin's.
"Die Zyuranger!" Scizor Vagrant shouted as his arm glowed.
Daizyujin hurled his fist forward incredibly fast, hitting Scizor Vagrant's chest and making him stumble before Daizyujin quickly punched his chest agin two more times, moving surprisingly fast for Daizyujin as he kicked Scizor Vagrant's arm back.
Daizyujin hit him two more times, his last punch bursting into fire as Scizor Vagrant was hurling onto his back.
"Dinosaur Horn God Sword!" Red shouted as Daizyujin's sword fell from the heavens into his right hand, Scizor Vagrant getting up.
"Legendary Thunderstrike!" The Zyurangers shouted as Daizyujin brought his sword up.
"Legendary Thunderstrike." Daizyujin said as lightning strike his sword, Scizor Vagrant trying to use his golden strike only for Daizyujin's sword to slice right through it and then his body.
"Or perhaps not." Scizor Vagrant said as he landed on the ground and exploded.
Ash formed a ball of dragon energy in his hands before unleashing it into Guzma, who quickly retreated.
Back in the hotel, Red was in his room with Clara.
"I can't believe it, you're the coolest big brother in the world. I can't believe you're the real Red ranger!" She said hugging him.
"Clara, I need you to promise me that you'll keep this a secret, between us ok. Bad thinks might happen if anyone were to find out."
"Ok, I promise." Clara said before Yellow came in and picked her up.
Red sat down on the bed, Satoshi sitting beside him.
"So , this Zyuranger stuff on the news has been real?"
"Yeah, I'd say so." Red said.
"How did you even get involved with it?"
"It's kind of a long story dad."
"Red "sigh" I know you didn't want to talk earlier, but."
"Dad, I was too mad at you. I treated you like you were a terrible father, that's not true."
"Red, there's something you need to know. When your mother and I conceived you….We …..We weren't married."
"What!?"
"We were old childhood friends from Pallet town, and we dated a bit, but I realized I never really loved her. I was going to leave until I found out she was pregnant with you. I knew marrying her was the decent thing to do so I did. I never regretted having you Red, never once in my life. But when you got near adulthood I began to realize that you didn't need me to be married to your mom for much longer. That's when I met Yellow, we became fiends , then more, before long I realized it was her that I loved, and well."
"Dad."
"Red, I'm sorry if it seems like I chose Clara and Yellow over you. But at that point you were basically grown up, Clara was just a baby, and missing your graduation. Red I wanted to be there so badly, but Clara had gotten sick and was in the hospital."
Red felt like a jerk now.
"Dad, I, I didn't know."
"That's not your fault, it's mine. You're still my son, and you always will be."
Satoshi hugged Red, who hugged him back.
"Oh and uh by the way, Lillie and I are dating."
"I know, it's pretty obvious just by looking at you two."
