Chapter 49:Change
The Zyurangers saw as the pokemon levitated a few inches off the ground.
"Let's go!" Red shouted as he and the others go up.
Red took a deep breath as he hurled his fists forward and unleashed three blasts of fire.
Hau and Moon kicked up some rocks before punching the rocks forward.
Serena moved elegantly, letting out a blast of wind.
Gary also saw some water from a fountain and bent it over at the pokemon.
Ash's armor surged as he formed a ball of dragon energy before unleashing it forward.
"Pika chu!"
"Vul!"
"Sal!"
"Torr!"
"Mar!"
"Grauu!" Their pokemon roared as they also unleashed their attacks.
Red noticed the red gem glow as the creature's eyes also glowed red.
The pokemon's raised his hand , extending his fingers out as all the attacks stopped in their tracks.
Zyurangers and their pokemon were in disbelief as they saw this.
Lillie was nearby with Nebby and also saw this.
She was in both amazement and horror as she saw this strange pokemon.
"What, what is that?"
Nebby looked very afraid as he saw the pokemon.
"Howling Cannon!" Red shouted as they quickly formed their weapons and put them together into one. Red holding the center.
"Fire!"
They fired the combined blast as the pokemon raised his hand again.
To their horror the pokemon contained the blast as well.
The pokemon waved his arm around as a slash of psychic energy flew through the air and hit the Zyurangers plus their pokemon, hurling them back.
The pokemon slowly levitated forward, Ash getting back onto his feet as he leapt up , thrusting his hand forward with the dragon dagger as he unleashed a blast of dragon energy.
"Pika Pika pika!" Pikachu shouted as he sprinted forward with iron tail.
Hau picked up his axe and sprinted at the pokemon's side with Magmar beside him.
Moon came at his other side with her daggers and Torracat.
The pokemon waved his arm around his body as all the attacks and Zyurangers were forced back.
Serena fired a few energy arrows while enhancing them with wind,
Gary stood in wait with his lances, the pokemon waving his hand as he flicked the arrows away and did the same to Gary, hurling him into Serena.
Red raised his sword before lighting it on fire.
He sprinted forward with Charizard breathing fire around him and flying above him.
The pokemon raised his hand as he forced the fire away before hurling Charizard into the side of a building.
"Huaahh!" Red screamed as he slashed his sword at the pokemon only for it to stop it with his other hand, holding it in place an inch from his skin.
Red grunted as he saw the pokemon stare at him intensely.
The pokemon lowered his other hand to Red's stomach as he formed a small blue ball in his hands before unleashing it into Red's stomach, bursting it and sending Red flying.
Many onlookers, human and pokemon were in horror at seeing how well the pokemon was doing against the Zyurangers.
Lillie was in horror watching this.
"Guys!" She shouted, Prince Junior who was smiling until he heard Lillie's voice.
He recognized her and felt the same uneasy feeling until he saw Nebby in her arms.
His eyes widened.
"Impossible!"
He sprinted over, Nebby seeing him and looking terrified.
"Nebb!"
Lillie raised her head and screamed as she saw Junior run toward her.
Junior knocked Lillie aside as he grabbed Nebby.
"I found you!" He shouted as Nebby tried to get free.
"Nebby teleport now!" Lillie shouted as Nebby vanished.
"What!? No!" Junior saw Lillie on the ground and grabbed her by the neck, throwing her against a building wall as onlookers watched in horror.
"Where did you get that pokemon!? Where did you send him!?" He screamed, his voice sounding more monstrous.
Lillie was more scared than she had ever been before. She couldn't even let out a single word.
"I'm not going to ask you again!" Junior screamed before Red sprinted over unleashing fire blasts at Junior.
Junior drew his sword with his free hand and slashed apart each blast of fire before Red reached him and blocked each of his sword strikes.
Charizard tried to help, but two of the creatures he had fought the last time they encountered Junior revealed themselves and began attacking him.
Each of Red's sword strike's were knocked away by Junior until Red kicked a fireball into Junior's arm that was holding Lillie, making him drop her.
"Lillie get away!" Red shouted as Lillie moved away from them both.
Despite being in bigger armor, Junior was much faster. He was also more powerful, each of his sword strikes having much more umph behind them.
The gem on Junior's chest glowed as he unleashed a blast of red energy that forced Red back.
Junior's offhand fist glowed red as he slammed it into Red picking him up and carrying him across the street.
Red grit his teeth as he saw Junior walk towards him.
"Get up!" He heard from a person watching.
"Keep fighting!" Someone else shouted.
Several pokemon were similarly chanting as Red took another deep breath.
"Huaa!" He shouted, throwing his fists at Junior while unleashing a few more fire balls.
Junior slashed or punched each apart. His new armor clearly giving him more protection than before.
Junior's sword glowed before he slashed Red twice, picking him up and hurling him back beside the other Zyurangers whom had been tossed back by the pokemon.
"We need to fall back." Ash said as he helped Red up.
"Run!" Red shouted at the the people and pokemon around them as they began to disperse.
The Zyurangers similarly fled the scene as Junior gave an enraged expression.
He turned to his skull warriors.
"Find that Cosmog!" He shouted while hurling a few more blades onto the ground that formed into a few more skull warriors.
Junior then turned to the pokemon.
"Find the Zyurangers and destroy them!"
The pokemon's eyes continued to glow as he went off.
The Zyurangers and Lillie found a safe area behind a building a few streets away.
"Ok that could have gone better." Hau said trying to catch his breath.
"What the hell pokemon was that?" I've never see or heard of anything like it?" Gary asked.
"It had such psychic power." Serena said.
"Maybe if we fought it again with our Mega evolution forms." Moon started.
"I don't think that would help, the pokemon was able to hold back our attacks. Not a single one landed, making them more powerful won't matter if they still can't hit." Ash said.
"Nebby." Lillie said sounding very scared.
Red put his arms around Lillie , hugging her.
"Lillie it's alright we're going to find him. In fact, that's what we should all do, split up and find Nebby." Red said.
"What? Red we have more important things to do than find Nebby." Gary said.
"Didn't you hear Junior he sounded really serious about finding him. It sounds like he has plans for him. We can't let Junior take Nebby."
"Red has a point, I mean he went postal when Nebby got away from him. Whatever Nebby is, Junior clearly needs him. We should make sure that he doesn't get his hands on Nebby." Hau said.
"Plus it's not like we can just fight that pokemon again." Moon said.
"We could also make sure that innocent people and pokemon are kept away from that thing." Serena said.
"But what if one of us is caught alone by that pokemon?" Gary asked.
"So we stay in groups." Red said.
"Ok, I can go with Hau." Gary said.
"Serena , you and I can keep each other safe. Our elemental abilities cover each other." Moon said.
Serena nodded.
"Looks like it's the Ketchum brothers then." Ash said as Red nodded.
"Everyone good luck, and be careful." Red said as they split up.
Lillie was still looking terrified at the thought of Junior taking Nebby.
"Lillie." She heard , seeing Red extend his hand down.
"Let's find Nebby, together."
She stopped shaking as she took Red's hand and came up, hugging him for a moment before they walked with Ash, Pikachu, and Charizard down the streets.
Elsewhere, Serena and Moon were heading down a street near the recycling plant.
"Everyone please get indoors and somewhere safe." Serena said as the people and pokemon did as she said, many people letting wild pokemon into they houses for safety.
That was when Moon noticed two familiar looking people who looked hurt running down the street.
They were wearing the recycling plant attire.
"Hey!" Moon shouted as she ran over.
"Did you guys come from the plant?"
"Yes, these skeleton armored things were attacking inside the plant."
Moon gave a horrified look , knowing her parents were still in there.
"Sere- I mean Aeroranger come on!" Moon shouted as Serena, Vulpix, and Torracat quickly followed.
They reached the plant interior and saw a group of skull grunts were attacking the workers and pokemon.
A security guard fired three bullets at a skull grunt to seemingly no effect.
The guard backed up until Moon leapt over him and slashed the grunt apart with her daggers.
"Everyone get to safety!" Moon shouted as she and Serena began fighting off the skull grunts.
Serena firing arrows at several as they shattered.
Moments later Moon heard a familiar voice scream.
"Mom!" Moon shouted as she ran to the upper walkway with Torracat.
Serena was about to join when she heard something else.
"Scyther!"
Serena and Vulpix saw the Scyther from earlier that day.
The Scyther was being attacked by one of the creatures that had been attacking Charizard with Junior earlier.
Behind the creature was one of the skull warriors, drawing his sword as he stepped over Scyther, preparing to impale her.
Serena leapt over acrobatically as she caught the blade with her bow.
"Icebeam!" Serena shouted.
Vulpix breathing a beam of ice into the creature's side.
Scyther looked up at Serena, noticing her voice.
Serena pushed the skull warrior back and then moved evasively, avoiding each of his sword strikes as the side of the creature turned to ice. Him turning to face Vulpix.
He ran at her Preparing to use crush claw.
However, Scyther saw Vulpix avoid the attack in a manner she had never seen a pokemon avoid an attack before.
Vulpix moved around much like Serena did, freely, and smoothly, with elegance.
"Extrasensory." Serena said as Vulpix's eyes glowed, Vulpix flipping the creature onto it's head before its body glowed again, adapting to psychic.
Serena kept avoiding strikes from the skull warrior before unleashing a burst of wind. The wind pushed the skull warrior back, but not far, he slowly came forward holding his arm up as he stepped closer to Serena.
"Now swap!" Serena shouted as She turned around and unleashed a burst of wind into the creature, pushing it back as Vulpix moved in synch under Serena's legs as she unleashed ice beam into the skull warrior.
The skull warrior grunted in pain as he was covered in ice.
"Switch again." Serena said as the creature adapted to flying rather than ice.
"Val pix!" Vulpix shouted as she unleashed another ice beam into the creature, freezing it solid.
Serena meanwhile fired several energy arrows into the Skull warrior, making the ice around him crack before she drew one more arrow.
"Show stopper time." She said as she unleashed the arrow and enhanced it with a bast of wind. The skull warrior shattering.
Scyther got up and flew at the creature. Unleashing a spinning X scissors slash again and again at the creature's neck before it was decapitated.
She then fell over from fatigue, Serena rushing over as she noticed the Scyther's blades were beginning to crack.
"Oh no! Vulpix use ice on her blades." Serena said as Vulpix let out a small amount of ice to help seal the cracks while Serena took out some potion from her belt.
The Scyther looked at Serena's visor, Serena not noticing this as she tried to bandage Scyther's wings.
Meanwhile Moon and Torracat sprinted up to the walkway where they saw Moon's parents backed up against the railing.
In front of them was a small Beldum that Moon had seen sometimes working at the plant.
The Beldum was taking a severe beating from one of the creatures.
Despite repeated hits, the Beldum just kept getting back up.
"Flamethrower!" Moon shouted as Torracat leapt up breathing fire into its side.
Moon leapt forward, doing a front flip as she got between the skull warrior's and her parents who seemed shocked when they saw the Arcanineranger.
Moon caught the skull warrior's sword with her daggers, the two struggling to overpower the other. Moon eventually pushed him back , but the Skull warrior slashed forward, Moon meeting each of his strikes with her daggers.
The Creature turned to face Torracat as her fire stopped effecting it.
"Lick!" Torracat moved to the side and licked the creature, making it shift it's form to ghost before Torracat bit it's neck, making the creature grunt in pain.
Moon was frustrated that there was no earth she could bend, when she realized there was.
She came forward with two powerful strikes with her daggers, knocking the sword away before she came up with a powerful kick , making the skull warrior stumble backwards.
"Eat metal!" Moon shouted, her parent's eyes widening, especially when they saw Torracat.
Moon kicked the metal floor as a small part of it shot up, Moon kicking it through the Skull warrior's stomach before she punched it and split the metal, also splitting the skull warrior apart.
The Beldum slowly opened his eyes before he came up again.
"Huff, Beldum!" He shouted before he unleashed take down into the side of the creature's already hurt neck, taking the head off.
At the same time this happened, the Beldum's body began to crack.
"Dum." He said as he hit the ground .
"Bedlam!" Moon shouted as she ran over and saw how bad of shape his body was in.
"Torracat, he needs heat to help mend the cracks." Moon said as Torracat and Moon began performing first aid on him.
Her parents shaking.
Elsewhere in the city but still near the plant, Hau and Gary were fighting off some skull grunts.
Hau slashing apart two with a single strike while Gary bent water around him, slashing through three, and shattering them.
"Well this alley's clear, no sign of Nebby." Hau said before Magmar and Salazzle saw a large group of pokemon running away from the plant.
"Mar!" Magmar shouted as he tugged on Hau's leg.
Hau and Gary turned to see the pokemon, recognizing them as pokemon form the plant.
A few workers were trying to guide them away as two skull warriors and creatures pursued them.
Gary noticed the Bagon from the other day fighting one, Bagon trying again and again to headbutt the creature to no success.
Hau noticed the Passimian from the other day also trying to fight one off, moving fast and avoiding its strikes.
Hau and Gary ran forward with their pokemon.
Hau saw a skull warrior by one of the creatures and quickly leapt at him, slashed forward with his axe as the skull warrior fended it off with his sword.
"Magmar use Fire punch!"
Magmar slammed his fist into the the side of the creature's head, knocking it back before the creature began more flame adaptable. Coming forward as Magmar grabbed its front legs and held him in place, Passimian noticing this.
Hau absorbed each of the skull warrior's sword strikes with his axe before pushing the skull warrior back and kicking the ground, as a rock shot up and hit the skull warriors arm, making him drop the blade before Hau slashed him twice with his axe before kicking up another rock and then punching it into Skull warrior, reverting him into a broken blade.
Hau turned to the creature whom Magmar threw onto his back.
The Passimian ran forward, unleashing rock smash on its neck, shattering it and decapitating the creature.
Hau turned to the Passimian who looked back at Hau and Magmar for a moment before running off.
Bagon's head plate began to crack as the creature hit him again.
Bagon's head began to bleed as the creature stepped forward.
"Salazzle use Smog."
A thick cloud of poison came around the creature before it began to adapt.
"Flame burst." Salazzle opened her mouth and unleashed the blast of fire into the gas, making it explode.
Salazzle got in front of Bagon as Gary picked him up.
"You need to know when to try something else there little guy." Gary said holding him as the other skull warrior ran at him.
Gary drew one of his lances and caught each of the sword strikes before redirecting them aside.
After doing so again, Gary kicked the Skull warrior back as he saw Salazzle still fighting the creature.
Salazzle use Venoshock.
"Sal!" She shouted , blasting the creature as it didn't have time to fully adapt to poison.
Gary caught the skull warrior's next strike before forcing it up and counter striking into the skull warrior's neck, making him drop his sword and hold his neck.
Gary put his lance away as he saw some water from a busted fire hydrant and began bending it.
"Some really bad decapitation pun!" He shouted before bending the water through the skull warrior's neck, decapitating it.
He then turned to the creature.
"Flame blast again!"
Salazzle blasted the creature again, making it adapt to fire before Gary bent the water like a blade and sliced through its neck, decapitating it.
Gary then turned to the Bagon who's head was still bleeding.
"Where's Moon when you need her." Gary said as he bend some water around his head to wash away some of the blood.
"Gary we should keep looking for Nebby." Hau said.
"Give me a second." Gary said before they saw building sides down the street begin to crack and break apart.
They saw in horror the pokemon from earlier slowly move from another street towards them.
"Or now!" Gary shouted in fear as they quickly ran off as fast as they could.
Elsewhere Ash, Pikachu, Red, Charizard, and Lillie were moving down an alley Ash and Red fighting off some skull grunts.
Ash easily slashing four apart with for fast slashes.
Similarly, Red slashed apart three with three strokes of his sword.
"Everyone clear the streets!" Ash shouted.
"Pika pikachu!" Pikachu shouted to the pokemon.
They did as Ash and Pikachu said.
"Nebby! Nebby where are you!" Lillie shouted as she went down the street, looking everywhere for Nebby, but finding no sign of him.
She put her fist against a building wall.
Her body shaking as she had a very unsure look on her face.
She then turned back to Red who slashed apart another two skull grunts as his Charizard moved with him, flying forward and slashing apart three more.
"Let's go Charizard!" Red shouted as he leapt onto his back and rode Charizard as the two moved in synch , blasting fire and slashing apart skull grunts.
She thought about Red's connection to his pokemon, and how he helped her accept pokemon. How it made her love Nebby.
She put on a serious face, holding her arms up.
"One way or another, I'm going to find you Nebby!"
"Vul." She heard.
"Huh?" Lillie said before she looked down at a small trash can where the sound came from.
The can burst open as a dirty looking Vulpix leapt out and on her.
"Ahh!" Lillie shouted as the Vulpix kept jumping at her.
"Stop you're getting my dress….What the fuck am I saying, I don't care." She said pushing the Vulpix away.
"I need to find Nebb..Wait a minute, you're the Vulpix from yesterday. The non-alolan one."
"Val, Vulpix." The Vulpix said still pawing at her legs and dress skirt.
Lillie sweat dropped.
"Lillie." Red said as he and Ash came over with their pokemon.
"What's with the Vulpix?" Ash asked.
"I don't know, he keeps coming at me."
Pikachu came over to him.
"Pikachu."
"Vul, Vulpix."
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted pointing to Vulpix then Lillie.
"Wait a minute, has this Vulpix seen Nebby?" Ash asked.
"Pika." pikachu said nodding.
Lillie's eyes lit up as she picked up the Vulpix in her hands and held him up to her face.
"Where is he, where 'sniff' , oh my God, you smell so bad…I don't care, where's my Nebby!"
"Vul." Vulpix said as he pointed his head in a direction.
Lillie put the Vulpix down as they began following him.
As they moved down the streets, they came across a few more groups of skull grunts, and helped as many people and pokemon as they could while following the Vulpix.
Eventually they came to a courtyard like area around some buildings and paper lanterns above them.
Once there Vulpix raised his head up.
"Vul!" He shouted.
"Nebby must be nearby." Red said.
"Let's get looking." Ash said.
The group split up and began looking around the courtyard.
"Nebby, Nebby." Red said as he and Charizard looked around.
"Nebb." They heard.
"Nebby!" Red said as he and Charizard rushed to a closed window where they heard it.
"Nebb."
"Nebby we found you." Red started as he opened the door before a Haunter jumped out at them.
"Yahh!" Red shouted as Charizard also jumped back.
They were on the ground and looked up to see a Haunter above them laughing like crazy.
"Nebb." It said, holding it's mouth.
Red and Charizard gave an irritated look.
"Hey wait a minute, you're the one from yesterday!"
The Haunter brought his right hand to his left eye and pulled down his eyelid while bringing out his tongue.
Red's face now turned red.
He got up and got into the Haunter's face.
"I'm trying to find a pokemon! This city is under attack and this isn't a time for jokes."
Haunter burst into smoke like energy in front of Red. Reappearing behind him as Charizard sweat dropped.
Red tightened his grip.
"Let's find Nebby." He said as he and Charizard kept looking.
As this happened The Haunter was about to fly away when one of the creatures leapt out and tackled him to the ground.
At first the creature went through Haunter , but after adapting, his attacks were able to land and he began to gore Haunter, who cried out in pain and terror.
Red and Charizard quickly turned to see this. A skull warrior also came out , drawing a sword.
"Charizard use Air slash, get him off Haunter!"
"Grauu!" Charizard roared as he flew forward, slashed the pokemon off Haunter before it got back up.
The Skull warrior ran at Red as they two exchanged sword strikes.
Meanwhile Ash and Lillie saw this.
"A Skull warrior." he said before Pikachu heard something.
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted as he lead Ash a few feet away.
Ash's eyes widened as he saw the Jangmo-o from the day before covered in blood and extremely fatigued as it battled one of the creatures with a Skull warrior behind him.
"Hang!" The Jangmo-o roared in determination as he ran forward trying to use dragon tail again.
The creature used crush claw to easily knock him away as more blood came out of his mouth.
"Jangmo-o!" Ash shouted.
"Pikachu Iron tail!"
"Pika chu!" Pikachu shouted as he ran forward and smashed his metal trial into the creature's head, knocking it to the side as Ash leapt at Jangmo-o picking him up as he summersaulted and got up.
The creature got up as the Skull warrior ran past is creature and at Ash, who drew the dragon dagger with his free hand and blocked each of the skull warrior's strikes before kicking his sword out of his hand and slashing the skull warrior three times with the dagger.
The skull warrior broke into a broken blade.
The creature tried to slash Pikachu with X scissors , but Pikachu leapt over him.
"Thunderbolt!"
Pikachu blasted the creature as he began to adapt.
"Slam and Iron tail!"
Pikachu slammed into the creature's side, making him adapt to normal before Pikachu's tail turned metal and he absorbed some of the excess electricity.
"Pika chu!" He shouted slicing his tail through the creature's neck, you guessed it, decapitating him. Geez you'd think he'd make something else happen by now.
Pikachu came over as Ash held Jangmo-o.
"Easy there." Ash said as the Jangmo-o looked up at Ash's visor.
Meanwhile, Charizard breathed fire into the creature as he tried to use crush claw on him.
The creature kept coming, but Charizard whipped the creature to the side before coming forward with Air slash, slashing the creature onto the ground before grabbing his head and forcing his mouth open and breathing fire inside.
Moments later Charizard dropped him onto the ground as the creature's melted bones came out if its mouth.
Red meanwhile knocked the Skull warrior's sword aside before slashing him twice and then blasting a fire ball into it, the skull warrior breaking apart.
Lillie was still looking when she finally saw Nebby climb out of a corner.
"Nebby!" Lillie shouted before Nebby was hit from behind by a third creature.
"Nebby! Use teleport!" Nebby tried to teleport but was too hurt by the crash claw.
The creature prepared to come forward again, Lillie doing something she never thought she'd do.
Red's eyes widened as he saw Lillie sprint forward and grabbed Nebby, shielding him with her body.
"Lillie!" Red screamed as Lillie screamed in pain as she was hit in the back with crush claw.
Vulpix was shocked seeing Lillie do this.
Charizard flew over and slashed the creature as Red leapt off Charizard's back with his sword on fire, slashing the creature's head off.
Red quickly came down and put his arms around Lillie as he saw blood come out and stain the back of her dress.
"Lillie are you ok?"
She grit her teeth.
"It hurts, but I'm ok."
Nebby saw what Lillie had endured to protect him.
"Nebby is ok , that's what matters."
The hurt haunter slowly got up and saw Red.
He was thinking about what Red did before he floated off.
Ash noticed a nurse Joy come out of a building.
She saw Jangmo-o in his arms and came over.
"Oh my god, what happened to him?"
"One of the creatures attacked him." Ash handed him off to Nurse Joy who carried Jangmo-o off to the building, Jangmo-o looking back at Ash and Pikachu.
"Zyurangers, it's time to regroup." Daizyujin said to all the Zyurangers, guiding them on where to go.
Eventually they all met up together in one location.
"You found Nebby." Serena said in relief.
Lillie nodded before Hau noticed Lillie's back was bleeding.
"Lillie what happened?"
"I was hurt protecting him."
"Oh boy, let me take a look." Moon said as she came behind Lillie and looked at her back.
"Well now that Nebby's safe, How the hell are we going to beat that pokemon when none of our attacks will even land!?" Gary screamed.
"What is that pokemon anyway?" Serena asked.
"Even I do not know, which is strange. I usually know every pokemon that exists." Daizyujin said.
"Actually I was thinking." Red said, the others turning to him.
"Before it attacked, I noticed that the gem on Junior's chest glowed before the pokemon's eyes glowed red too. Could it be possible the pokemon was being controlled by the gem?" Red asked.
"That would actually make sense." Hau said.
"If we could break the stone , then maybe Junior would lose control of it and we could have an opening." Red said.
"Hold on, Junior's no idiot, as soon as we go for him that pokemon will just attack us and keep us away." Gary said.
"He has a point." Moon said.
"You're right, which means we have one option. Five of us will have to fight the pokemon and keep it busy while one of us faces Junior." Red said.
"I still don't think that will work. He'll just order the pokemon to protect him." Gary said.
"Not if it's me." Red said, the others looking at him with interest, Lillie in particular.
"Let's face it, out of all of us. I'm probably the one Junior would truly consider his rival. If I fought him, he'd want to face me himself." Red said.
"He might be right, you and him do have a bit of thing more than any of us." Ash said.
"Red, you really don't want to fight Junior all alone, not when he's all powered up?" Lillie said in concern.
"I don't have a choice, this is the only way that might work. Besides I've got mega evolution mode."
"Red , Ash can back you up , it's safer." Lillie said.
"No, if he does, Junior will sick that pokemon on us. It has to be just me and Charizard."
"Red, you."
"Lillie, I can handle this. I've beaten him before. Now I'm than I was before."
Lillie got up and hugged Red.
"Please be careful."
"I will."
Elsewhere Junior ripped apart a food stand looking for Nebby.
"My cabbages!"
Junior looked up and saw the pokemon float in front of him, shaking his head.
"Fuck! Where is that Cosmog!"
Moments later the pokemon quickly turned and raised his hand, blocking several blasts of energy.
Junior turned to see Ash, Serena, Gary, Hau, and Moon. Four with their ranger guns and Ash with his dagger. Their pokemon were also beside them.
"Zyurangers! Hmp, I can destroy you at least. Then find him."
The pokemon raise his hand and unleashed a Psycho cut, the Zyurangers leaping over it and their pokemon avoiding it.
"Ranged attacks only, keep your distance." Ash said as the other four moved around the pokemon firing their ranger guns, the pokemon using his hands and telekinetic energy to deflect them.
Junior had two of the creatures around him as he watched the Zyurangers struggle to fight the pokemon.
"Wait a minute, where's the Tyranoranger!? Junior asked before a blue blast of fire hit his head and knocked Junior back.
Junior grunted as he saw Red in his mega evolved armor, Mega Charizard Y behind him.
"Junior, not fighting yourself, even with your new armor. Afraid you can't beat me, again?"
Junior gave an enraged look under his helmet as he raised his sword.
"I'll have the pleasure of killing you myself Tyranoranger!"
Junior glowed in a red and black aura as he unleashed a blast of red energy forward.
Red drew his sword and ranger dagger, both igniting in blue fire as he hurled two blasts of blue fire into he blast, destroying it.
Red and Junior met, the two exchanging hard sword strikes with great speed and power.
Despite only have one sword, Junior was able to keep pace with both Red's blades.
He eventually caught them both and forced them up before kicking Red back, his kick bursting energy into Red's chest.
Despite this, Red came back and blocked Junior's next strike.
Junior pushed Red back again before smashing his blade into the ground and causing a blast that nearly hurled Red back.
Red thrusted his swords, forward , unleashing two blue blasts of fire that Junior slashed apart before leaping into Red , unleashing another blast of energy that hurled him back before Junior slashed him three times with his blade.
Red grunting as he was flipped onto the ground.
The other Zyurangers weren't having much more luck, the Pokemon unleashing more psychic attacks into them and their pokemon as they were hit by the bursts and hurled back.
Charizard Y was still fighting the two creatures as he saw Red on the ground.
"Grauuu!" He roared.
Lillie and Nebby were nearby, watching in horror.
"Nebb!" Nebby shouted.
The Zyurangers were now all on the ground in pain as the Pokemon and Junior slowly came closer.
"Hmp, this is my ultimate victory."
"Come on guys! Get up, you have to get up!" Lillie shouted.
Red grit his teeth with the others before they heard something else.
"Get up!"
"Keep fighting!"
Junior and the pokemon looked around as they noticed a crowd of people and pokemon begin to appear.
"What, what are they doing?" Gary asked.
"Zyuranger keep fighting!" Someone shouted.
"Zyuranger? Did someone just actually call us Zyurangers instead of power rangers?" Serena asked.
"Keep fighting Tyranoranger !"
"We believe in you Bastioranger!"
"Come on Aeroranger!"
Red slowly got up.
"I won't ever give up! This is our power , Fiery warrior of justice, Tyranoranger!" Red shouted.
"I won't give up either! Surging warrior of salvation, Bastioranger!" Gary shouted.
"For the people and pokemon! Stalwart warrior of life, Arcanineranger!" Moon shouted.
"For Alola! Hardened warrior of the earth, Mamoranger!" Hau shouted.
"I won't let you hurt anyone else! Free warrior of love, Aeroranger!" Serena shouted.
"Never give up until the end! Unstoppable warrior of determination, Dragonranger!" Ash shouted.
"Dinosaur Squad ! Zyuranger!" They shouted together.
Lillie and Nebby smiled.
"That's it guys!"
Nebby closed his eyes and let out a soft sound, Lillie not noticing as he began to sparkle.
"Cute, you're going to talk about hope and never giving up and somehow you'll become stronger." Junior started before Red's mega armor was ignited in blue fire and he charged at Junior screaming.
The people and pokemon cheered Red on as he slashed apart two blasts from Junior before meeting him and unleashing a furry of powerful sword strikes.
Junior could barely keep up with them, Red putting everything he had into his attacks.
Meanwhile Charizard Y flew into both of the creatures and slashed them twice as they began to adapt to flying.
"Grauuu!" Charizard Y roared as he unleashed inferno into their now open mouths and melted their insides before slashing the back of their necks and slamming down on them with his feet.
Red meanwhile kept forcing Junior back and back with his sword strikes eventually knocking Junior's sword back with his dagger before slashing him across the chest and gemstone with his sword.
Junior grunted as Red knocked Junior's sword back with his sword before slashing him in the same spot with his dagger.
Red then kicked Junior's head as he slashed across the gem with both swords.
Junior stumbled and dropped his sword as Red unleashed three fireballs into the gemstone.
Junior surged with energy as he felt the gemstone crack.
"No!" He said.
"Keep going!"
"You're winning!"
Red put his swords away as he slowly began moving his fingers from his sides to his front. Charizard Y noticing his gauntlets surging with electricity before Red thrusted his hand forward, unleashing a bolt of lightning into the gemstone.
Junior cried out in pain as his stone shattered and he was knocked back.
As this happened the pokemon's eyes stopped glowing red and he too surged with red energy , crying out in pain as he held his head.
"Now's our chance!" Ash shouted as the other four mega evolved themselves and charged at the pokemon.
Gary bent some water into ice before unleashing javelin icicles into the pokemon , hitting its chest three times before Salazzle unleashed Venoshock into the Pokemon before Gary leapt forward with his more advanced lances put together, slashing the spot where he hit the pokemon three times.
The pokemon stumbled backwards as Moon kicked the ground and thrusted her hands up as two metal pipes shot out of the ground into the pokemon's chest where Gary hit him. Torracat unleashed flame blast into his chest before Moon leapt forward hurling her daggers into the wound.
The pokemon stumbled again as Hau thrusted his hands up one at a time as the ground around the pokemon melted into magma and shot up into the pokemon's chest while Magmar unleashed fire punch into his chest, Hau leaping forward as he slashed the pokemon's chest twice with his axe.
Serena spun around unleashing blasts of wind into the pokemon as Vulpix unleashed Aurora beam into the pokemon's chest before Serena fired a few energy arrows into it.
Ash leapt at the pokemon , slashing its chest with his dagger and claws five times before he kicked him back.
"Pika chu!" Pikachu shouted as he and Ash both unleashed their attacks into the pokemon, it crying out in pain.
"Guys!" Red shouted as he tossed his sword to Ash.
"Let's go , howling cannon!" Ash shouted as they put the six weapons together and unleashed a combined blast.
The blast hit the pokemon as it exploded around him.
"We got him!" Hau shouted before they saw the smoke clear and the pokemon slowly come out surging with energy and enraged look on his face.
"I, will , not , be , destroyed."
"What? What said that?" Gary asked before the pokemon slowly glowed black.
It roared before their eyes widened, the pokemon growing in size until he was slightly larger than enlarged Gorma.
"Oh that's not good." Moon said.
"Let's waist no time, right to Gouryuuzin!" Ash shouted as he began playing the Dragon Dagger.
Dragon Caesar roared as he came up and marched into the city, Mamoswine, Bastiodon, and Arcanine coming out of the ground as they formed Gouryuuzin.
Ash, Gary, Hau, and Moon leapt into his head as Gouryuuzin drew his lance.
"We must be careful, I can sense great power in him." Gouryuuzin said as he came forward with his lance held out.
The pokemon raised his hand as he unleashed a Psycho cut.
"Protect!" Hau shouted as Gouryuuzin held his arms, up forming the golden shield.
However, the blast blew through the shield and hit Gouryuuzin, making him stumble.
"He got through!" Hau shouted as Serena and Red looked worried.
Gouryuuzin came forward again but the pokemon unleashed an aura sphere that hit Gouryuuzin and made him drop his lance as the Zyurangers inside shook.
The pokemon raised his hand as Gouryuuzin's lance lifted up.
"He's not." Moon started before the pokemon hurled the lance into Gouryuuzin, forcing it into his chest.
The Zyurangers inside Gouryuuzin screamed in pain as they felt Gouryuuzin's pain.
Gouryuuzin fell to the ground before breaking apart back into Dragon Caesar and the others.
"Let's try Mega Daizyujin!" Red shouted as Tyrantrum and Aerodactyl came with the others and formed Mega Daizyujin. The Dinosaur horn God sword in his hand, Dragon Caesar coming up beside him.
"Let's go!" Red shouted as Mega Daizyujin and Dragon Caesar came forward.
The Pokemon raised his hand as he unleashed another Psycho cut.
Mega Daizyujin slashed through it with his sword as Dragon Caesar Slashed through it with his claws.
Mega Daizyujin came forward again trying to slash the pokemon, but it raised its hand and forced the sword into Dragon Caesar twice.
"Ash!" Serena shouted as Ash and Pikachu tried to hold onto Dragon Caesar's head as he stumbled backward, roaring in pain.
As Dragon Caesar stumbled backwards a man below was holding fifteen thousand dollars in cash.
"No no no no, not my car not my!" He shouted before Dragon Caesar crushed his car and knocked the man over, his money flying away.
Mega Daizyujin kicked the ground and thrusted his hands forward as he unleashed blasts of magma at the pokemon.
"Burn him up!" Hau shouted as the pokemon raised his hand and held the Magma back, unleashing it back into Mega Daizyujin.
The Zyurangers were knocked around as Mega Daizyujin stumbled backwards.
On the ground another man was holding fifteen thousand in cash.
"No no not my boat! Not my!" He shouted before Mega Daizyujin stepped on his boat, crushing it and knocking the man over as his money flew away.
"Dam this thing is powerful." Gary shouted as Mega Daizyujin and Dragon Caesar got up.
"Grauu!" Dragon Caesar roared as he blasted dragon fire at the pokemon, Mega Daizyujin unleashing a few blasts of blue fire from his fists at the pokemon.
The pokemon held both attacks back with his hands before he forced them back into their users.
The pokemon's eyes glowed red as he held his right hand up to his eyes.
A Psychic flying through the air and hitting Mega Daizyujin.
"Gauuu" Mega Daizyujin cried out in pain as he was hurled onto the ground.
"Not my house , not my!" A third man shouted as he held twenty thousand in cash.
Mega Daizyujin landed on the man's house, knocking him down as his money was blown away.
"Guys!" Ash shouted.
"Pika!"
Dragon Caesar looked equally scared.
Mega Daizyujin reverted to normal Daizyujin as the Zyurangers struggled to get back to their seats.
"Nothing's working, not Gouryuuzin, not mega Daizyujin ." Moon said.
"Come on, we can do this. Somehow." Red said.
"Guys don't give up keep fighting!" Lillie shouted.
"Come on keep going!"
"We believe in you!"
Nebby closed his eyes again as he let out the soft song, his body sparkling.
This time Lillie noticed it.
"Nebby, what are you doing it?"
Daizyujin and Dragon Caesar suddenly felt their pain melt away and felt more at peace for a moment, the Zyurangers felt it as well.
"What's going on?" Serena asked before Daizyujin got right back up, Dragon Caesar beside him/
"We're still in this!" Red shouted , his fist held up.
Daizyujin turned to Dragon Caesar who turned to him.
"Together brother." Daizyujin said as Dragon Caesar nodded.
Daizyujin brought his right wrist up to Dragon Caesar's left forearm, the two begin enveloped in a great as the Zyurangers felt the light envelop them.
"What's going on?" Moon asked.
"I don't know." Red said before Daizyujin and Dragon Caesar both vanished.
In their place came another being, bigger than Daizyujin , bigger than even Gouryuuzin, and bigger than the creature. The new being greatly resembled Daizyujin but with black and green armor over his chest, shoulders, and back, with a helmet over his head. The armor looked like the outer body of Dragon Caesar, with the helmet resembling his head.
All six Zyurangers were now in the cockpit together.
"What is this?" Serena asked as the people below watched in amazement.
"I am Zyutei Daizuizin ! Beast Emperor and great beast God! I am incarnate of Daizyujin and Dragon Caesar! Zyurangers let us end this!" Zyutei Daizuizin said in a booming voice.
"Alright!" They all shouted in excitement as the people bellow also shouted in excitement.
Lillie looked at Nebby who smiled.
"Nebby? Did you?"
"Nebb!"
Zyutei Daizuizin marched forward, the ground shaking with each footstep.
The pokemon raised his hand and unleashed a Psycho cut, Zyutei Daizuizin raising his arm and knocking it aside effortlessly.
The pokemon tried to hold him back with psychic, but Zyutei Daizuizin kept coming , his fist lighting on fire and the other covering in metal magma as he punched the pokemon with both fists, knocking it back before he bent a tidal wave of water into the pokemon and unleashed a tornado of wind.
The pokemon was hurled onto the ground as he tried to get up.
"Kaiser Burst!" The Zyurangers shouted as Zyutei Daizuizin's eyes glowed and all of their elemental powers, including Dragon power rose up in front of him.
"Kaiser Burst!" Zyutei Daizuizin roared as he unleashed them all forward, hitting the pokemon and tearing his heart out.
The pokemon convulsed before his eyes slowly shut, his body shrinking before vanishing.
"We got him!"
"Yes!"
The people below were all cheering as Junior got up and saw what happened, a look of horror on his face before he quickly vanished.
The Zyurangers came out of Zyutei Daizuizin as they looked up at him.
"Zyutei Daizuizin , thank you for coming. But why now?" Red asked.
"Zyurangers, I came because Dragon Caesar and Daizyujin were at peace and in synch. I can only come when that is in place. However, I am here when you need me. To protect humanity and pokemon. Farewell." Zyutei Daizuizin said before he vanished.
Later that night the group all met in Moon's backward behind her house.
"Well, that was quite a day." Gary said sitting down.
"Hey there."
"Everyone." Stacy and Tracy said as they came in, Moon noticing Beldum in their arms.
"Moon, you're not surprised we're ok? Tracy asked.
"Oh right, are you guys ok?" She asked, the two smiling.
"We're."
"Fine."
Moon saw Beldum fly into her arms.
"Beldum." She said nervously, Beldum somehow remembering her even out of armor.
"The neatest thing happened."
"The yellow Zyuranger saved us, and Beldum." Tracy said.
The others took notice as Moon looked nervous.
"Mom, dad I."
The two hugged her.
"We just want her to know."
"Whoever she is."
"She has our support and love."
"But we hope she stays safe."
Moon teared up a little as she hugged them back.
"She will."
"We also hope she'll take care of Beldum. He was hurt badly and could use some serious medical attention."
Moon looked at Beldum and saw his injuries from the fight.
"You do need someone to take care of you." She said taking out a pokeball and placing it against him before sending him inside.
Moments later Gary was knocked forward when something hit his back.
"Ouch, come on." He said before turning to see it was the Bagon from earlier.
"Bagon!" He shouted.
"You? What are you?" He said before he saw Bagon pointing his head at Gary's buckler, Gary looking nervous.
"What I?"
"Bagon!" He shouted jumping in front of Gary.
"Gary, I think he likes you." Ash said.
"I think he wants to come with you." Serena said.
"Really?"
"Bagon." He said nodding.
"Alright, I will have a Salamence!" Gary shouted as he took out a pokeball and touched it to Bagon's head, sending him inside.
"Scyther!" Serena heard as she saw the Scyther from earlier behind Stacy and Tracy.
"Scyther?"
Scyther flew over to Serena.
"Scyther here was saved by the pink Zyuranger. She apparently took a liking to her."
"Scyther." She said before flying around in an elegant manner.
"Wait a minute, she." Serena started.
"She's like you Serena." Ash said as Scyther came forward.
"I'd love to have you Scyther." Serena said taking out a pokeball and sending her inside.
Red was about to turn to Lillie when he noticed Haunter in front of him with his eyelids pulled down.
Red didn't jump, he just gave an irritated look as Haunter laughed.
"Ha ha, very funny." Red said.
The Haunter stopped before Red noticed his injuries.
"Haunt." He said hugging Red.
"Red, I think he remembers you." Ash said.
"Really?"
Haunter nodded as he reached into his jacket and pulled out a pokeball.
"Haunt." He said nodding as Red smiled, taking the pokeball and sending haunter inside.
"We have one more pokemon from the plant, and one from the pokemon center." Tracy said before Ash and Hau saw Jangmo-o and Passimian with them.
"You." Ash and Hau said.
The two had fired up looks as they approached Ash and Hau.
"Apparently they want a good challenge."
"Sounds good to me!" Hau said as he let Graveler out.
Passimian got in a fighting stance.
"Graveler use Rock throw."
Graveler hurled several rocks forward as Passimian acrobatically moved around , avoiding each one.
"Defensive curl." Hau said as Graveler held his arms up, absorbing Passimian's Rock smash.
"Thunder Punch!"
Graveler's fists sparked before he punched Passimian four times, knocking him back.
"Smack down!"
Graveler hurled a curved rock into Passimian, smashing him into the grass.
"Pokeball go!" Hau shouted as he hurled a pokeball into Passimian , sending him inside.
Meanwhile Pikachu faced off against Jangmo-o.
Jangmo-o sprinted forward with his tail glowing.
"Iron tail."
Pikachu turned his tail Iron before blocking Jangmo-o and flipping him over his body.
Pikachu blocked Jangmo-o's next two dragon tails before slamming him back with Iron tail.
Jangmo-o hitting the ground hard.
"Pokeball go!" Ash shouted as he hurled a pokeball forward, sending Jangmo-o inside.
The six pokeballs sparkled.
"I caught!" They all shouted in unison.
Lillie was holding Nebby before she smelled a bad oder.
"What is that?" Lillie asked before she turned to see the dirty Vulpix.
"You?" Lillie asked.
"Vul." he said before Lillie noticed the Vulpix had fifty thousand dollars in cash in his mouth.
"What's with all that money?" Lillie asked before Vulpix handed it to Moon for some reason before turning back to Lillie.
"I don't need this money. Mom , dad why don't you donate it to animal rescue." Moon said handing it to her dad.
"ok."
"Vul!" Vulpix said as he kept coming at Lillie.
"Why did you come back, ohh you smell so bad." Lillie said plugging her nose.
Red put his hand on her shoulder.
"Lillie, I think he saw you protect Nebby, I think he likes you." Red said smiling.
Lillie looked back at the Vulpix.
He looked so dirty, so skinny. Like no one had been taking care of him.
She gave a compassionate look. Nebby floating up as Lillie picked up the Vulpix.
"Do you want to come with me?"
"Vul!" He shouted smiling and licking her nose.
Lillie smiled as she carefully took a pokeball from Red and sent Vulpix inside.
The pokeball shook and then sparkled.
The others smiled.
"Lillie way to go." Hau said.
"Congratulations." Serena said.
"I'm proud of you." Red said as Vulpix came out.
"Ok, let's start by giving you a bath and." Lillie started before Vulpix gave an excited look and jumped into Lillie knocking her into a mud puddle beside her.
"Ahhh!" Lillie screamed as Vulpix began jumping around and trying to play with Lillie in the mud.
"No ! Vulpix get off!" Lillie shouted as she tried to get out of the mud.
The others smiled and began laughing as they watched this.
Red and Haunter both laughing the hardest.
Later that night, Lillie was in the shower with Vulpix.
"You have got a lot to learn about being clean." Lillie said in a serious tone, scrubbing him hard.
"Vul." He said smiling.
"Ok you're done." She said letting him out as he leapt out of the tub and shook.
Vulpix was returned to his pokeball by Red who was sitting in the bathroom watching Lillie as she showed.
"I like him." Red said.
"I need to teach him how to properly behave."
"Well Serena might be able to help you with that. I can help you train him to battle."
"He probably should learn that. Keep him healthy. Thank you baby." Lillie said before she looked at her back.
She saw the injury she sustained that day.
"What if it leaves a scar?"
"You were protecting Nebby."
"'Sigh' I know, but you don't think it looks ugly do you." Red poked his head into the shower and gave Lillie a big kiss, Lillie's face turning red.
"I think you look just as beautiful as always."
Lillie kept blushing.
"What are you waiting for, get in here." She said seductively.
"Really? Moon's house."
"If they really mind it I'll just buy them a new one. " Lillie said as she took off Red's shirt.
Red smiled as he quickly took his pants and boxers off.
He stepped into the shower as Lillie hugged him and pushed him against the wall kissing him as he kissed her back.
A minute later Lillie took the bar of soap and began slowly rubbing it across his body , slowly feeling up his pectorals and abs, Red rubbing shampoo through Lillie's long hair and rubbing her head before his face turned red when he felt Lillie reach his crotch.
"Ahhhhh." He said as she rubbing him there thoroughly before doing the same to his behind.
"Ok before you do it, let me do something first." Lillie said as she took out a razor, bringing it down to her privates.
"Ok, one , two, three." She said gritting her teeth as Red saw her shave away all the hair between her legs and then her legs themselves.
Red came over to Lillie who poured some shampoo in her hands before rubbing it around Red's hair.
Red now had the soap and rubbed it into his hands before slowly rubbing it across Lillie's body.
Lillie giggled a little as she felt Red's hands rub her breasts, then her stomach, tickling her a little before he rubbed between her legs, then her butt cheeks, taking his time as he did so, giving her a tight squeeze as she moaned a little before he kissed her.
The two went under the water as they kept kissing, Lillie wrapping her arms around Red as she climbed up a bit, bring herself into position as she began thrusting her waist forward , Red doing the same as he pushed her against the glass of the shower door, Lillie's butt rubbing against the glass while Red held onto it as well.
Red and Lillie kept kissing as their tongues danced around each other's mouth. Red breathing deeply as Lillie kept moaning.
"I love shower sex." Lillie said to herself as she increased her intensity, also feeling Red's hands squeeze her butt harder.
Elsewhere Junior was on his knees before Gorma XIV.
"Mother, please, I."
"You failed, not only did you get Gorma XIV's prized pokemon killed, but you lost your piece of the gem of life." The other Gorma said.
"Mother, give me one more chance, if I." Junior said desperately before Gorma XIV got onto her feet and turned to Junior.
"Junior, you are my son. But you are a failure, you are not worthy of being my heir. I am hereby denouncing you as my son, strip you of your power, and banish you from the Gorma tribe." Gorma XIV said as she raised a larger red gemstone and blasted Junior.
"Ahhhh!" Junior screamed in pain as his armor disintegrated into dust, leaving Junior in just a pair of jeans and a black hoodie.
Two of the red armored Gorma came in and grabbed Junior.
"Mother please! No!" Junior shouted as he was dragged away.
The other Gorma grinned as Gorma XIV knelt back down.
Junior was dragged through the palace, many Gorma laughing at him as he was dragged away.
"Here comes the prince!" One shouted in a mocking tone.
"All hail Junior!" Another said.
Junior saw the triumphant also in front of him.
"Look at that imbecile." Otrin said.
"What a failure." Plumeria said.
"Farewell." Guzma said.
Junior also passed Seir, who did nothing but stare at him.
Junior was tossed out of the Gorma palace, him falling before he landed in the middle of the rainforest.
He was breathing deeply as he got up and looked a the open sky.
"I'll get you for this mother! All of you! I'll have my revenge! I, I." He said before breaking down and falling to his knees.
Junior began crying uncontrollably.
He held his eyes as tears streamed down.
"Gladion." A powerful voice said.
He slowly raised his head.
"Who, who said that?"
"Gladion, the time has come." Another voice said.
"Who's there, my name isn't Gladion, it's Junior, Prince Junior."
"Your name is Gladion."
"Your identity has been stripped from you by Gorma XIV."
"That's not all she took." Gladion said as he thrusted his hand forward, realizing his powers were all gone.
"Gladion, you're not a Gorma, you're a human." The second voice said.
"What? No that's not true I."
"Gladion, we have chosen you."
"Chosen me?"
"Yes, chosen to bestow great power upon you. Power to get your revenge on the Gorma." The first voice said.
Gladion gave an intense look as he got to his feet.
"I"m listening."
"If you can prove yourself to us, we'll not only give you power, but we'll also help you regain your lost identity." The second voice said.
"What must I do?"
"Go to Blush Mountain, there you will find the Byakkoshinken."
Gladion turned and saw the mountain in the distance.
He had an intense look on his face as he began walking towards the mountain.
Author's note
So yeah, a lot happened
A new pokemon for everyone, sorry if that felt a bit much
Those three men from the last chapter got a little Guardian beast justice,
Also Junior is far from done, or should I say Gladion is far from done
Now to the guest who has asked about the advanceshipping thing...No I don't think Amourshipping is overrated, this and my previous stories should be pretty good evidence of that.
Also I'm not going to stop 50 chapters in and say 'oh one guy wants an advanceshipping story, better just forget all about this story'
I did support advanceshipping once, and will never approve of contestshipping, but I am an amourshipper now and forever,
I can't write stories about shippings I don't support, if I can't get passionate about it then there's no point, it would be half assed
SO until next time,
please review, comment, suggest, or ask(VIA PM)
