It's 100 years before the Johto Rangers, 2006, the year that Eddie and Sabrina left behind when Celebi accidentally brought them with him to the future, in a small, woody area of Hoenn. A place that often knows unusual things, and today is no different. Only today is the most extraordinary it's ever known…
All of a sudden, a swirling vortex opened, and all the pokémon in the clearing ran for cover. Six things were thrown out of the swirl, landing in a heap.
"I'd forgotten time-travel messes up you head so much…well, did it work, when are we?" Nyura asked, getting up.
"I promise you, my Queen, my time-travel is 100 accurate, there's no chance it could be any-when else," an unfamiliar monster told her. It was created from a Baltoy, only it was human sized, had two, long legs, and had spikes covering his head and hands, which were practically clubs.
"Excellent, thank you, Balton. Sketch, where do you come up with these awful names?" Nyura asked.
"I'm sorry, my Queen, but naming monsters is hard," he told her.
"Well come on then, get up! If I remember my history, then there's someone we need to see!" Nyura said excitedly.
"Who's that?" Manyula asked.
"Why, the legendary Queen Mariah of course!" Nyura said, teleporting the six of them.

A/N: And that would have been more effective if you didn't know it was coming. Yay! I finally have a new reviewer! Thank you Phoenix Espeon! By the way, Sabrina replied to the last chapters reviews, I forgot to mention that as at the time I had about five minutes before I had to leave for school…lousy school…also, if I ever make mistakes (which I do more often than I realise, for example I've just read through the last chapter on the site, and at the end, instead of calling YF2 Donny and Carl's friend, I called him their fried. Finally, YF2, I apologize if any of your characters are – out of character. But I'll try my best.
Chapter 38; No Place Like Hoenn Part 1
Crouching in some bushes, Donny and Carl were eagerly watching the Poké Rangers fighting against Balton, Carl clutching an ancient camera.
"Now you remember the plan?" Donny asked.
"Yeah. Just as the Rangers are about to blow the thing up, you jump out, grab the cannon thingy, and I take the picture! That'll shut that "Yankee Fan 2" up!" Carl said, pounding his fist.
"Carl! Now, look!" Donny yelled, lifting the bush from its roots to pull it along with him, as the monster ran back from the Rangers, as they summoned the Poké Cannon.
"Excellent! Carl said, lifting his bush too.
Before either of the sides noticed the walking bush, Balton cried, "It's ready!" and Nyura and all her monster appeared, falling into a swirling vortex that appeared from nowhere, and didn't close for a moment once they were gone.
"What was that?" Kurtis asked, as they lowered their weapon.
"It looked like a black hole," Greg said confusedly.
"But nobody knows what a black hole looks like," Sabrina said.
"They do nowadays," Anna told her.
Just then, Miborg appeared, running at them, clutching a device in his hands, and panting.
"Quick! No time to explain or check if anyone's in range!" he puffed, pressing a button, and the nine of them felt the ground disappear from beneath their feet, and the bushes around Donny and Carl vanished.
"Donny and Carl – I mean, who are you, and what are you doing here?" Kris asked.
"Wow! He knows our names!" the duo said in unison.
Before any of the Rangers could ask Miborg what was happening, they landed in a woody clearing, all landing on their feet except Donny, Carl, and Kurtis.
"Hey, where are we?" Carl asked.
"Um – that's a good question – I know, why don't you have a look around?" Eddie suggested. They both nodded eagerly, and ran off.
"Morph return," the Rangers said, and there suits vanished.
"So what's going on, Miborg?" Greg asked.
"Nyura has finally managed to create time-travel capabilities, something she's been trying to do ever since she first gained her powers. Now she's travelled back to the past," Miborg told them.
"Let me guess, we've followed her?" Eddie asked, and Miborg nodded.
"But how did we? I mean, you cant time-travel, can you?" Anna asked.
"Oh dear, no. Celebi created this," he told them, showing a small box, with a large, red, tempting button.
"It allows anyone within 10 feet to follow the last time-travel that occurred in the area. As always with Celebi we could be a little bit out, but it's more-or-less right, and we're near definitely on the exact same spot she landed on. The only question is, is to where – and when, for that matter - that is."
"Ok, everyone split up and search for some sign as to where and when we are," Eddie said, and they all looked around.
"Hey guys, I've found something! Kurtis called a moment later, and the others rushed over to him.
"Who are "Rangerz"?" Kris asked, staring at the flyer. It showed a band of six people, and it said they would be performing on the 23rd of April 2006 at the Slateport Contest Hall.
"I don't know, but I'm guessing we're near Slateport," Greg said.
"Who cares about that! Look at the date!" Eddie cried in both shock and joy; he was back home.
(A/N: Now that would have been a better opener)
Meanwhile, at the city's entrance…
"Ok, I see a city, but it doesn't tell us where we are," Carl said.
"There's a sign just there," Donny told him.
"I can't read!" Donny yelled.
"Oh, right, sorry. "Slateport City"," Donny read.
"Really! Cool! I know just where we gotta go!" Carl said, grabbing Donny's shirt.
"Shouldn't we tell the Rangers-?" Donny asked, but Carl shook his head.
"Later! You see, Slateport City is well known for a lot of things; the contest hall, the battle tent, the port, the shipbuilding – thingy, the market, and its cool beaches. But it's best known worldwide for the Seashore House," Carl said, as they arrived in front of it, after having taken three wrong turns in Carl's speech.
"What's so great about this place?" Donny asked.
"They have tag-team, free pie-eating contests!" Carl said excitedly, and Donny fainted.
Meanwhile, in a great castle, high above the clouds, and Slateport City…
"Something's wrong. Can you feel it?" Mariah asked her army, Scythmorai, Meowthlady, LadySeviper, Black Phoenix, Darkix, and Count Golbat.
"Yes, a great presence."
"Partly evil-"
"-But partly good."
"ROARAROAR!"
"What is it?" Mariah asked, when suddenly, six large blocks of ice appeared, which immediately thawed into Nyura and her monsters.
"Who are you, and how did you get in here!" LadySeviper hissed, as she and the other henchmen gathered around them, ready to attack.
"Well, what a welcoming. You sure know how to greet your guests, Mariah," Nyura said jokingly, standing up, and Mariah ordered her monsters to back down.
"How do you know who I am?" Mariah asked.
"How could I have not? Your battle with Rayquaza is legendary throughout all of time. Though I must say, the end result wasn't that great for you…" Nyura answered.
""Throughout all of time"? Then would that make you-?" Mariah asked, coming to a realisation.
"Yes. I am Nyura, the Ice Queen," she said impressively.
"Oh, I thought you were Mya the fairy – kidding!" Mariah laughed evilly, even though there was no need for it to be.
"So. Nyura the Ice Queen. I thought you were just a legend. Your battles throughout time with Celebi would make you seem as such."
"Why thank you. And how goes your current battle, against the Poké Rangers?" Nyura asked.
"How do you know about-?" Mariah asked, but Nyura interrupted.
"I have just come here from the year 2106. I have learnt as much about you as I could from that time," Nyura told her.
"Does that mean Celebi is here?" Mariah asked.
"No, I've managed to – incapacitate him. But I have no doubt that he will send hi own Rangers," Nyura hissed.
"He has Rangers too?" Mariah asked in shock.
"Indeed. I was hoping that we could work together to try and defeat them once and for all!" Nyura said dramatically.
"I don't know, do you really think you're worthy enough to work with me?" Mariah joked.
"Who's the one who thought the other didn't even exist?" Nyura asked, and Mariah smiled.
"Yes. I suggest we attack at once, with any luck your Rangers haven't arrived yet, so we can take them out one batch at a time," Mariah said.
"And I know just how we should do it…" Nyura said impressively.
"How?" Count Golbat asked.
"Are you all still here!" Mariah asked rhetorically.
"Never mind, Sketch, get ready to attack Slateport City. I'm sure you know how…" Nyura finished.
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the city…
Kris had now left the group to find Donny and Carl, in case they got lost, but before he'd left, Miborg had given him a warning:
"Make sure you don't do anything that could change history! For all we know, one of your ancestors could live around here, and you might do something that could indirectly stop them from being able to have kids! And that's just an example of what could happen!" he cried, as Kris walked away.
"That guy worries to much," he said to himself, turning a corner, and seeing a teen being attacked by Armourens and some strange creatures he didn't recognise.
"Should I – well they've already screwed up the timeline by attacking him," Kris thought, debating with himself whether or not he should help, and adding, "Oh, and that hardly helps," when the Tyranitar Megazord appeared in the city.
"Ok! Morph, I choose you! White Dragonite power!"
Meanwhile, back with the other Rangers…
"What the-!" Greg asked, as the ground started shaking, and a moment later the Tyranitar Megazord appeared, and began attacking everything in sight.
"What – but how! Kris destroyed the Tyranitar Megazord!" Kurtis yelled.
"Should we stop it?" Sabrina asked.
"Of course! If you don't do anything, then more damage will be done than if you do!" Miborg told them.
"But what can we do? We don't have the Zords-" Anna argued, but Miborg shook his head.
"The Zords are programmed to be in the same place or time as the morphers, and in emergencies will travel back in time to prevent themselves from being destroyed, go stop it, now!" Miborg told her.
"Ok, ready?"
"Ready!"
"Morph, I choose you! Johto Ranger power!"
Before the Rangers could call for their Zords, however, five more Zords (Torchic, Mudkip, Abra, Pichu, and Poochyena) appeared, and combined into a Megazord.
"What the-!" Kurtis cried.
"Go!" Miborg ordered.
"Johto Zords!" Eddie called, and the five Zords appeared and combined.
The other Megazord looked in the direction of the Rangers', and the Johto Megazord gave what would be a thumbs-up, if it had had any thumbs.
"Whoever's in there, how can you have the Tyranitar Megazord! Kris destroyed it!" Anna called over the Megaphone.
"You fools!" Sketch's voice answered, "That was 100 years in the future! It hasn't been destroyed yet!" he cried, and he swung his sword at the Johto Megazord, but the unknown Megazord blocked the strike with its own sword.
"Thanks! Megasword!" Eddie called, and the Megazords primary weapon appeared in its hand.
"Let's end this quickly! Johto Slash!" Sabrina yelled, striking the Tyranitar Megazord with the Megasword, and the other Megazord hit it too, and Sketch immediately retreated.
"Ok, why'd he bother doing that?" Kurtis asked, but none of the others asked him, as they'd seen five people leap out of the other Megazord, which then vanished as well. The Johto Rangers leapt out, and the GS Balls recalled their Zords. The Rangers then approached the other people, who they now recognised clearly as being morphed.
"Who are you?" Eddie asked them.
"You don't know?" the other teams red Ranger asked, and the Johto Rangers shook their heads.
"Don't the suits give it away?" their blue asked.
"Ok, how about we just power down?" Greg asked, so all ten Rangers did so.
"Well we're the Might Morphin' Poké Rangers! Defending the world from evil," their red said.
"Did you know that there used to be Rangers?" Kurtis asked Greg, who shook his head.
"How about you guys?" Greg asked Eddie and Sabrina.
"Guess we must've missed them…" Eddie said.
"Ok, what are you talking about? You make it sound like you're from the future or something," their black Ranger asked, and the Johto Rangers were surprised that she was a girl.
"We are," Anna told them, which shocked the other Rangers.
"Wait!" Miborg called, running up to the ten Rangers, panting.
"I need more exercise," he said as he approached them.
"We need to go to the Sky Pillar! Rayquaza and I will be able to explain everything!" Miborg said. The other Rangers were shocked, either by what Miborg had said, his appearance, or both.
"Well ok…" their yellow said, and the other team teleported. Miborg then teleported the Johto Rangers.
Meanwhile, at the Seashore house…
"Hey, ugly!" Carl called to the bartender.
"Excuse me?" he asked.
"That's ok, did you fart or something?" Donny asked, and the bartender sighed.
"Never mind. Can I help you – gentlemen?" he asked.
"Yeah, we wanna take on the pie-eating contest!" Carl told him.
"Sorry? We don't have a pie-eating contest here," he told the duo.
"What! Jeez, didn't your boos tell you about it when he got this crappy job?" Donny asked.
"I own the place," the bartender told them, his eyebrow twitching.
"Then you must be Perry!" Carl said excitedly.
"No, Jimmy," he told them, disliking the boys more and more with each word.
"Right…well, anyway, this place is world famous for its tag-team pie-eating contests, two people work together to try and beat the record. I think its currently held by some guy called Roderick, and his lady, Rosemary," Carl said, putting on a posh accent for the last five words.
"Hey! That sounds like fun! We want to give it go too!" a voice said from behind them, and Donny and Carl span around.
"Who are you two suckers?" Donny asked.
"The only suckers I can see is you two," one of them said.
"Well we're Donny," Donny said.
"And Carl," Carl added.
"Geki," one of the other boys said.
"And Sid," said the other.
"Ok boys, I'll tell you what, I'll let you do this. But since we don't have a record, the two teams are gonna compete against each other. Whoever eats the most pies wins. Deal?" Jimmy asked.
"Deal!" all four answered, glaring at each other.
Back in the alley…
Kris had flown into battle on his Wing Blades, much to the surprise of the other boy.
"What on Earth! You're a Poké Ranger too!" he asked.
"Uh – yeah," Kris said, shocked by the question.
"Then in that case I can morph, since there's no-one else around," he said. He yelled something else, which Kris couldn't distinguish, and emerged a moment later in a green Ranger suit.
"What in the-!" Kris asked, and in the time it took him to get over his shock, some of the strange creatures he didn't recognise had grabbed him, and Armourens had grabbed the other boy, and teleported them both.
Meanwhile, at the Sky Pillar…
"Whoa! What is this place!" Greg asked in awe upon arrival.
"This is the Sky Pillar," the other teams blue told him, smiling at Greg's amazement.
"This place is amazing! It's superb! I've never seen technology so advanced!" Miborg cried, looking around.
"Thank you, and you are?" a voice asked from behind him, making him jump ridiculously. When he turned around, he saw a Claydol hovering, and a Rayquaza in a metallic green tube.
"Rayquaza!" Miborg cried, rushing towards him.
"No, that would be me," Rayquaza said.
"No, sorry. I'm Miborg, and these are the Johto Poké Rangers! We were sent here by Celebi!" Miborg told him.
"Celebi! Is everything all right!" Rayquaza asked.
"Yes, yes, he's fine, he sent us because Nyura is here!" Miborg told him.
"Nyura! You'd better tell me us the full story," Rayquaza said, and Miborg explained.
"I see…"
"Wait, so you guys are from 100 years in the future?" their pink asked.
"Except us," Sabrina said, and the girl nodded.
"Introductions! I'm Eddie," Eddie said.
"Sabrina Mason."
"My name's Greg.
"I'm Anna."
"And to finish, we have the great, Kurtis Dragonfly!" Kurtis said, posing, and the other Rangers exchanged looks.
"What?" Kurtis asked, breaking his pose.
"We have a sixth Ranger called Danny Dragonfly. You might be related," their pink said, then adding, "Hey, he's a green Ranger too. Come to think of it, where is he?" she asked.
"I haven't seen him today," their red said.
"And you are?" Eddie asked.
"Jenna Whitestone," their yellow said.
"I'm Mika Alden," the black Ranger told them.
"The name's Farrell. Jack Farrell," the red Ranger told them in a James Bond style, causing Sabrina to giggle, much to the annoyance of Eddie, but the humour was lost on Anna, Greg and Kurtis.
"Call me Amii-Chan," the pink Mighty Morphin' Ranger said.
"And last but not least, I'm Sean."
"It's great to meet you all. We also have a sixth Ranger, Kris, and actually, we're not sure where he is either," Anna said.
"Well then I say we go find the two missing team mates!" Jenna said.
Meanwhile, at Mariah's palace…
"Well that plan didn't go very well, did it!" Mariah asked rhetorically and angrily.
"Hey, don't blame me if the Johto Rangers arrived earlier than I expected! It took Celebi a month to find me last time! We're just going to have to do something cleverer. Now that we have the white Ranger, we can bring him back to the side of evil!" Nyura hissed.
"Back? So he was evil before?" Mariah asked.
"Yes, he used to work for me, before he betrayed me, and eventually joined the Poké Rangers. And if he hadn't been evil we wouldn't be able to use him, with the more limited power I have after giving some to him…" Nyura said angrily.
"Perfect! We can use it on Dragonfly too! He used to work for me!" Mariah cried.
"This couldn't have gone better if I'd written the script myself…" Nyura laughed.
A/N: I can't believe how little action that had, and yet it was my longest chapter to date! This really was just an introduction; I promise there'll be more action next chapter. What did you think of the characters? Personally I think YF2's characters were too polite, but I do have a lower rating…maybe I'll reference that next chapter. I've now just had my Step-Dad going on at me about how I'm soon going to go through a "transitional age", and I'm not going to like this sort of thing any more…as if!
Coming soon: Chapter 39; No Place Like Hoenn Part 2
Before I forget, today's replier will be Jack, the original red Ranger! See ya!
