108. Rook's Perfect Shot
Vermilion City: Bank
In the bank of Vermilion City, a Daemon thief stole the diamond from the bank and ran off.
Officer Jenny and the police officers arrived to stop the thief but, to no avail as he used the gun to fire the bullets at them. The police managed to evade the Daemon's firepower.
Then, Ash and his friends are in the Burst Forms of Toxtricity, Flygon, Grookey, Typholsion, Beautifly and Chesnaught, Ben transformed into Road Runner, Rook in S.W.A.T mode, Gwen in Liepard Anodite form, Julie as Armorstrike in Mecha Mode, Kevin coated with diamond and Bonnie as The Tigress came here and confronts the Daemon.
"Stop right there, Daemon!" Road Runner said and he transforms into a car to ram onto Daemon but, he dodged and Road Runner crashed into the garbage can.
"Kaitou cannot be stopped!" Daemon named Kaitou said.
"Okay, Kaitou's Japanese name meaning 'thief'." Julie said.
"Will you stop saying Japanese please, Julie?" Gwen asked.
"Ooops." Julie said.
"Stop right there!" Road Runner crashes into Kaitou again but, he dodged and shoots the bullets at Road Runner.
"Ow! Ow!" Road Runner shouted in pain.
"Ben, are you alright?" Julie asked and she ran to attack Kaitou but, he jumped in the air before he launches the bombs at her, knocking Julie out of Ship.
"Boom Burst!" Ash screams, sending multiple echoing waves on Kaitou but, he deflect the attack with his cape.
Ash was knocked out of Toxitricity and Kaitou restrain them with his cape.
"Rook, save them!" Julie said.
"On it!" Rook said and he aims at Kaitou.
"If you shoot at me, these two will die by your shot!" Kaitou said, blocking himself with restrained Ash and Toxitricity.
Rook was shaking with fear as he dropped the Proto Tool.
"Rook, what's wrong!?" Gwen asked.
"Shoot now!" Ash said.
"No, I can't..." Rook said as he remembered the time where he lost his brother by a thief in Revonnah market and fell to his knees.
"HAHAHA! Coward! I will kill them by myself!" Kaitou said and he sends out the tentacles to kill Ash and Toxitricity but, Gwen shoots the big Mana Orb at Kaitou to free them from Kaitou's cape.
"I will see you beaten by my hands again! And not to forget I will get the Diamond of Steel!" Kaitou said before he disappeared.
Road Runner changed back to Ben and the heroes returned to their original forms, rushing to Rook. Rook too changed back to his original form but he was filled with sadness.
"Rook, what's wrong?! Are you insane?!" Kevin asked.
Rook ran off in anger.
"Rook, stop!" Ben shouted.
"I don't know why Rook look angry and scared." Serena said.
"Rook is scared?" Bonnie asked.
In the park, Rook is haunted by the memory of his brother's death.
Then, Gwen and Ben came and sat beside Rook.
"Rook, why you didn't shoot at Kaitou?" Ben asked.
"Because... I have a memory that haunted me before I joined the Plumber Academy." Rook said.
"What kind of memory?" Gwen asked.
5 Months ago... (Rook's narration)
"Before I joined the Plumber Academy, I have an elder brother named Rook Banjo. He was the expert shooter like me but then a very same thief named Kaitou wrecked ruckus in the market and he has restrained Banjo."
"Rook, shoot him, right now!" Banjo shouted at Rook.
I was trembled with fear that I can't shoot at my own brother otherwise I will call myself as a murderer. Due to my fear, I missed the shot and... Kaitou killed my brother by stabbing from behind.
Rook ran to dead Banjo and screams in anguish. Rook was filled with rage and he ran to attack a thief but, he was agile and he threw the bombs at Rook and knocked him unconscious.
I can't forget that haunted memory not even today. As I woke up, I met Max Tennyson.
"I know you wanted to avenge your brother and defeat the thief for good." Max said to Rook then he offers the Proto Tool to him.
I hunted the thief and wanted to kill him for what he has done with my brother... That's why... I didn't want to repeat the same mistake...
Present day
"Hmm... sounds sad." Ben said.
"I know how you feel, Rook. You can shoot at Kaitou without killing any hostage." Gwen said.
Then, a call from Ash came in. "Guys, we know what is Diamond of Steel. Come, Professor Cerise will tell about it." Ash said.
Rook, Ben and Ash went to Cerise Laboratory.
Cerise Laboratory
In the Cerise Laboratory, Professor Cerise tells about the Diamond of Steel.
"Diamond of Steel is the most powerful diamond in the entire Pokémon World. It is made up of Pokénium, the strongest metal. It is strong that even a truck crushed under the diamond cannot be destroyed. Even the weapons can't destroy it." Professor Cerise said.
"Whoa. If he obtains the diamond..." Goh said.
"...then Kaitou will become unstoppable." Clemont said.
"We must stop Kaitou from obtaining the Diamond of Steel at any cost!" Ben said.
"But how?! Even our Pokémon Blade or our weapons can't destroy it!" Dawn said.
"No worries. Let's start the mission quick as soon as possible!" Ash said.
"What mission?" Kevin asked.
"Preventing Kaitou from obtaining the Diamond of Steel." Ash said.
"But where is the Diamond of Steel?" Goh asked.
"It is located in the Wyndon Museum of Galar region." Ren said.
"Alright, guys! Let's go!" Ash said and the heroes except Rook goes to Proto TRUK 2.O.
"Rook, come on! We have to go and stop Kaitou from obtaining the Diamond of Steel." Gwen said.
"I'm not coming until I try my perfect shot!" Rook said.
"Fine, stay here." Gwen said and the heroes left for Galar region.
Hoopa goes to Rook, asking "Rookan, why are you-?"
"I know what to do, Hoopa." Rook said before going to Cerise Park.
In the Cerise Park, Rook has the tiny box like item and he presses the light blue button on it, that became a medium sized blue robotic wolf with the guns and rocket launchers on their shoulders.
"Busterwolf, my buddy. Here." Rook gives the nuts to Busterwolf, feeding him and pats him affectionately. "You and I have the same problem of shooting."
Busterwolf nodded.
"Let's do it together!" Rook said then he and Busterwolf together started the shooting practice.
Galar: Wyndon Museum
In the Wyndon Museum, Kaitou, disguised as a man, entered the hall and he sets his eyes on Diamond of Steel.
"Ah, Diamond of Steel! Once I will have that, I will become invincible!" Kaitou said and he reveals himself.
The police took out their assault rifles and shoot at Kaitou but, he dodged and deflect the attacks that bullets flew back to the police, killing them.
Kaitou got the Diamond of Steel in his hands. "Finally!"
"Not so fast, Kaitou!" Ash's voice said and the heroes arrived.
"Oh, Burst Warriors!" Kaitou said. "It's too late to stop me!"
Kaitou absorbs the Pokenium from the diamond and his body got metallic. "See! This is the power of Diamond of Steel!"
"Now great, he became metallic." Goh said. "It's Burstin' Time!"
"Burst!" Ash, Goh and Dawn used Burst to combine with Infernape, Cinderace and Lapras.
"Tsareena Burst! Snowy Burst! Togedemaru Burst!" Chloe, Serena and Clemont used Burst to transform into the Burst Forms of Tsareena, Snowy and Togedemaru.
"Fire Punch!" Ash punched Kaitou with his flaming fist but, he blocked it with his steel cape and he shoots the laser rifles at Ash.
"Blazing Kick! Rollout!" Goh kicks Kaitou with his fiery kick and Clemont rolls like a ball before hitting Kaitou but failed then the thief Daemon blocked the attacks before delivering the swift metallic kick to them.
"High Jump Kick! Ice Beam!" Chloe jumps in the air before delivering a strong flying kick to Kaitou but he shot the laser at her, knocking her back. Serena and Dawn together used Ice Beam but, Kaitou deflected the attack with his cape that the icy beam hit Serena, Dawn and Chloe, freezing them.
"Chloe! Serena! Dawn!" Ash shouted.
"Are you girls okay?" Goh asked.
"We're okay, boys..." Serena said.
"Now, the three girls shall be the hostage. If you shoot or attack me, I will kill them!" Kaitou take out the tentacles to grab the frozen girls and restrain them.
"No!" Goh shouted.
"What shall we do now?!" Kevin asked.
"Let's transform!" Bonnie said.
"No transformations, please!" Kaitou said and he neared his sharp tentacle at Chloe's neck. "Or else this girl will be stabbed."
Then, the laser came out of nowhere hit Kaitou's chest, losing his metallic skin and released the frozen girls.
The three lasers also hit the ice that defrosted girls.
"Girls, are you okay?" Ash asked.
"We are." The girls nodded.
Then, Rook arrived along with his pet Busterwolf. The heroes turned around to see Rook and Busterwolf arrived.
"Rook!" Ben said.
"Isn't that my perfect shot?" Rook asked.
"You!" Kaitou said and he shoots the laser from his gun at Rook.
"Busterwolf!" Rook said and Busterwolf shoot the 10 bullets at Kaitou after dodging the attacks of his.
"A blue robo wolf?" Kevin said.
"Awww... It looks so cute!" Bonnie admired at Busterwolf.
"Let's do the best shot, together!" Rook said and Busterwolf nodded. "Busterwolf, let's power up!"
Busterwolf becomes the tiny box and Rook inserts it in his Proto Tool and the holographic data about the armor appeared.
"Henshin!" Rook shouted, pulling the trigger of Proto Tool and 'data' covers him before he gained the armor.
Rook gained the blue and white robust armor, his legs were armoured with cyan leggings with some white spikes, he has the cyan shoulder armor with the rocket launchers on it, he holds the dual laser assault rifles and finally, his face was masked by the wolf themed helmet with cyan bug eyed visors.
The heroes were in awe to see Rook's new power up form.
"No way..." Bonnie said.
"Rook... powered up?" Ben asked.
"...by armored with a robot wolf?" Kevin asked.
"Banjo... lend me your strength. I hope you will find peace." Rook murmured and he shoots the multiple rockets at Kaitou.
Kaitou blocked the missiles, only to be knocked out.
"You are the... Banjo's brother?!" Kaitou asked.
"Yes. You are responsible of my brother's murder! Now your case is closed!" Rook said and presses the button on Proto Tool three times that unleashes the powerful blue beam at Kaitou, knocking him back with great force.
"Is that true that my case is closed?! NOOOOOOO!" Kaitou shouted before he was exploded into pieces.
Rook removes the box and he changed back to original form. The heroes rushed to Rook.
"Rook, you did it!" Ben said.
"I knew you've made a perfect shot!" Gwen said.
"Yeah. Not much as perfect." Rook said and he summons Busterwolf. "And I shall intoduce my new buddy: Busterwolf. Max Tennyson gave the strange tiny box like device that I can summon him."
"Hi, Busterwolf!" Serena said then she and Chloe pats Busterwolf.
"So cute!" Bonnie also patted Busterwolf.
Busterwolf got annoyed by the girls touching him that he shot the coloured balloons at Serena, Chloe and Bonnie on their faces.
"BUSTERWOLF!" Serena, Chloe and Bonnie shouted before they started chasing Busterwolf.
"Hey, don't do with Busterwolf or else he'll shoot at you." Rook said and the heroes laughed.
