Fact of the Chapter: Before the Grand war, PokeTech was a very successful Pokemon research group whom made questionable experiments on Pokemon like the idea weaponizing Pokemon energy to create weapons.
Chapter 8
Trapped inside a cage in the middle of the forest near route 1, Sunny is scared for her life as she held onto two bars with her little paws. Surrounded by her captors who are the infamous Team Eco made camp to use her as bait for a certain pokemon.
Overhearing conversation, Sunny hears chatter among the twenty soldiers speak about the Grovyle that her father brought from the ruined human city. She looks at two young adult soldiers near one of the escort trucks chatting. She leans towards the corner of her caged prison to evesdrop on the conversation. They seem to be talking about why they needed her.
"Why exactly do we need that Grovyle anyway?" a male Monfermo soldier asks.
"According to the bosses, the particular Grovyle is actually very special!" the male Croconaw soldier answers looking at his assault rifle.
"How so?" the Monfermo turns to one of the crates to open it up to collect a donut.
"All that I know from one of the bosses is that he does not remember anything of his past."
The Monfermo spits out his donut after the Croconaw's answer. The Monfermo whips his head to the Croconaw demanding how a Grovyle with amnesia is any use.
Sunny who listened to the conversation steps back a few feet on her hind legs only to trip over landing on the back of the cage making the lock shake getting the attention of one of the two soldiers she eves dropped. The Croconaw puts his rifle to his back walking up to the caged Sunny with a mad face thrusting one of his claws at the cage bar.
"What did you hear lady?" The Croconaw demands causing Sunny to lift up to see a frighting sight. Scared, the young Saladnit girl could feel her heart rate race with sweat coming out of her forehead.
"I..I only heard you speak about the Grovyle." Sunny stammers truthfully but that only made the Croconaw angry taking one of the keys from his pocket to open up the cage and grabs her by the arm causing her to shriek in fear.
"You're not going to hurt the prisoner are you?" the Monfermo asks a bit worried.
"No need to fear, I am just going to have a little fun," the Croconaw makes a sexual lick to Sunny's neck making her shake knowing what he might do to her. "You know they say females of your kind like to have fun with males if you know what I mean?"
Sunny sees the Croconaw shake his brows with a bedroom eyes confirming her fears.

Hiding from the trees, Zack uses the binoculars to see Sunny getting dragged by the Croconaw soldier to a nearby truck while the others are too busy either keeping watch or simply training. Seeing Sunny being dragged like that makes Zack growl through his teeth. He knows what is going on. The Croconaw is going to try to violate Sunny by instinct of being compatible egg groups. He looks to Kirk also hiding behind a tree whispering to him, "One of them is going to violate Sunny!"
"Oh I know Grass man," Kirk growls shaking his rifle in his claws. He really wants to shoot that sick minded pokemon at the head to save his younger sister yet hesitant.
"Then we need to stop him!" Zack demands softly making sure he is not heard.
"Dad told us to wait!" Kirk blurs with a tear in his eye.
As much as he wants to follow Duncan's orders, he can't let an innocent female Pokemon get violated by a messed up male. Without saying anything, Zack uses his Grovyle body to jump up into the top trees.
"Zack! What are you doing!?" Kirk quitely demands but Zack ignores him with a rifle to his back parkoring the branches so the Team Eco won't see him.
Zack hops on a branch near where the Croconaw is about to have his pleasure while Sunny struggle to get him off beside a truck. Instead of shooting him, Zack hops off the branch to slowly walk up behind the Croconaw and then gunbuts to knock out the Croconaw behind the head. Then Zack swings his rifle like a baseball bat to knock off the Croconaw off Sunny by the side.
When Sunny looks up to see who saved her, she instantly latches onto Zack with tears of gratitude. "By Arceus! He is about to violate me!"
Sunny buries her Face into Zack's chest and cries as he strokes her in the back. Zack franticly looks around the camp to see lots of guards patrolling. He better find a way to get back to Kirk before he gets spotted. But it is too late as a Monfermo solider from behind spots him with a gasp.
The Monfermo is about to alert the troops. Zack cannot let that happen so without thinking he thrusts his arm causing a vine whip springing through his jacket sleeve surprising him not knowing how he did it. The Vine whip wraps around the Monfermo by the neck chocking him.
The Vine Whip causes the Monfermo to drop his weapon on the ground causing it to fire a shot up in the sky causing all of the Team-E troops to spot them.
"INTRUDUER!" one of the troops shouts and orders all of team Echo to draw their weapons making Zack quickly toss the Monfermo into the crowd allowing him to grab Sunny and take cover behind a truck while the troops opened fire.
In cover, Zack drew his rifle while Sunny sat beside him looking terrified covering her ears as the sounds to gun fire continue to roar banging the truck. Zack takes a quick peak with his rifle and fires a shot at a nearby soldier causing the others to run for cover behind the various crates. Zack quickly leans back in cover to reload his shot while nearby troops return fire.
Zack takes a quick peak to see at least two troops draw out of cover about to shoot him but one of them get shot from behind distracting nearby Soldiers. Zack looks up to see Kirk using his rifle from the trees to take out team Echo troops. Taking his chance Zack scoops up Sunny into his arms and rushes to a nearby Tree and parkors the branches back to Kirk placing sunny behind a fallen log where she could hide. Zack joins up with Krik and the two boys begin to open fire their rifles at the swarms of Team Echo troops who are re positioning their covers. The boys got at least five of them.
The fighting continues on until Zack runs out of ammo. He looks to Kirk to seen him out of ammo as well. The two boys and Sunny peaks out to see the team of remaining ten Echo troops beginning to charge only for a barrage of bullets begin to chew them up from behind the three. Zack turns his head to see four familiar Pokemon come out wearing blue combat armor with weapons he has not seen yet. Each of them has a badge of a Pokeball with a yellow star in the middle with letters that read, 'New Pokemon Rangers'.
One is the Charizard Duncan wearing Ranger hat and a heavy assault rifle. The other is the Blastoise Smithy wearing heavier looking armor compared the others while duel wielding two CHAINGUNS! The third is the Venosuar merchant wearing a combat helmet using his vine whips to wield the same assault rifle Duncan has. And finally is Jane on the trees using a sniper rifle to take out far away Echo troops.
As the fighting goes on, even more pokemon wearing similar armor begin to show up with their own weapons.
"HOLY ARCEUS! IT THE RANGERS! RETREAT!" one of the Team Echo troops freaks out and orders his remaining troops only for them to get gunned down.
The fighting has finally stopped, Zack, Kirk, and Sunny get up to face an army of professional looking pokemon dressed like rangers facing them. Among them Zack, especially Kirk and Sunny were all surprised to see their father and mother not only saved them but are actually the legendary rangers. Duncan, who at the front of the group briefly turns around and orders the other ten rangers behind them to collect the goods in the camp then he approaches the three younglings with serious face.
"Looks like this old Charizard owes a lot of answers," He tells them.
"Are you guys the New Pokemon Rangers?!" Zack speaks up with a surprised expression.
"My parents are fricken Rangers!? SWEET!" Kirk glees like a fanboy while Sunny is beaming seeing her parents side by side.
When Jane jumps off the trees and walks up to Duncan her husband and mate she whispers for him to tell them. With that, Duncan takes a deep breath before explaining.
"I am Colonel Duncan and yes I am a Ranger along with your mother who is my second and command and Captain." Duncan points to his Salazzle wife who smile proudly.
"That's right, and I am also a sniper medic." Jane comments proudly.
With the Rangers collecting the supplies from the camp, Duncan decides to explain to the younglings about their involvement of the rangers back at the village. While they all head back to the village, a figure is seen standing by a cliff watching them.
