Episode 362: Pokémon Hunter J Strikes Back Part 2
Where we last left off, Sora and his friends had learned that J has escaped from prison and that she has set her set her attention on Sora's Riolu. When they met up with J's henchmen, one of Myotismon's henchmen, Etemon came to deal with his Digimon friends. During the fight between Etemon and J's henchmen, they escaped into two groups. Kairi, Naminé, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Angel, Meowth, and the rest of the Digimon were met with IceDevimon to dispose of them. Sunflowmon and Gargomon were quickly defeated by IceDevimon as Angemon stepped in and destroyed the evil icy Digimon. Etemon attempted to find Sora when he bumped into J and SkullKnightmon who are in pursuit of him as well. SkullKnightmon Digivolved into AxeKnightmon and defeated him. The same can be said for MetalGreymon, AeroVeedramon, and Wargrowlmon when they tried to fight him. And to make matters worse, J had succeeded in capturing Riolu for her client. And now, for the concluding chapter of this two-part arc.
As the forest catches fire, the Pokémon all living there all were running for their lives. Kairi, Naminé, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Angel, Meowth, and the rest of the Digimon all hurried the wild Pokémon to safety.
"Right this way! Hurry!" Kairi said.
"This place is safe!" Meowth said.
"So, how are doing on all the Pokémon?" Lalamon asked.
"That's all of them," Renamon said.
"I going to guess this has J's name all over it," Ventus said.
"I think you're right, Ven. J would do just about anything to get her prize," Aqua said.
"This is unforgivable," Gaomon growled. "She's just as ruthless as Myotismon."
"If only we can put out this fire before it gets worse," Biyomon said. Meowth looked at three Blastoise and he gets an idea.
"Hey, how about we make it rain!" Meowth said.
"Make it rain?" Palmon asked.
"Watch!" Meowth said. He went up to the Blastoise. "Any of you mugs know Rain Dance?"
"Blastoise," one of the Blastoise nodded. "Blastoise, Blastoise."
"Great! These three Blastoise can use Rain Dance to put out the forest fire!" Meowth said.
"That's good because we could use it now!" Kairi said. The three Blastoise summons a dark circular cloud that spins counterclockwise, with a dark indent in the middle of the cloud and then rain falls from the cloud. The rain starts to put out the fire.
Elsewhere in the forest, Bronzor was right behind them and levitated them into safety.
"Man, that was too close," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"How did we end up here?" Riku asked.
"Eevee," Eevee said. Rocky turned to the Bronzor. "I think I know how." He points to Bronzor. They all turn to see the bronze Pokémon.
"You helped us," Sora said. "Thanks a lot."
"Bronzor," Bronzor beamed.
"But we couldn't save Riolu," Sora said sadly. Riku looked at him.
"Don't worry, Sora. We'll save Riolu. You have my word that we will," Riku said. Sora turned to Riku and he smiled.
"Thanks, man," Sora said.
"Anytime," Riku said.
"But we need to know where Riolu is and save him from J," Agumon said.
"He's right, guys. We can't give up that easily," Veemon said.
"And what was that about? AxeKnightmon took you three down like it was nothing," Riku said.
"I will have to guess that AxeKnightmon is a more experienced fighter. But I have a feeling AxeKnightmon is pulling the strings in this little caper," Rocky deduced.
"I think you're right. AxeKnightmon definitely admitted that he doesn't work for Myotismon. And I don't think Myotismon will take too kindly to someone stealing his thunder," Riku said. Sora, Rocky, Agumon, Veemon, and Guilmon all agreed with Riku. They knew it was bad enough. They heard a sound and saw they were close to J's henchmen. Riolu was placed in a glass case. They saw Lucemon and the other knight Digimon.
"Riolu," Sora said.
"Eevee," Eevee said.
"And those must be Digimon working with AxeKnightmon," Riku said. He took out his Digidex and used it on Lucemon and the knight Digimon.
"Okay, the angel Digimon is Lucemon. Lucemon has the appearence of a child and a Rookie level Digimon. It says his power and knowledge that surpasses an Ultimate level Digimon. He attacks with his Divine Cross and Divine Feat. One of the knight Digimon is Dynasmon. It says he's one of the Royal Knights. He unleashes Dragon Thrower and Breath of Wyvern. The second one is Crusadermon. She's another knight Digimon She attacks Spiral Masquerade and Fist of Athena. And the third one is Craniamon, another Royal Knight. He attacks with Shock Ringer. And those three are all Mega level Digimon," Riku said.
"Mega level?!" Sora exclaimed.
"The Royal Knights too? This gets better and better," Guilmon deadpanned. Riolu is placed in a vehicle.
"Retrieval successful. Move out," J's second-in-command ordered.
"Yes sir," J's henchmen all said. J's henchmen and the evil Digimon went into the aircraft as Sora, Rocky, Pikachu, and Bronzor entered aboard. Aware of the secutiry cameras, Rocky stealthy placed tracker device on one of the walls. Sora, Rocky, and Pikachu went on to search for Riolu.
Down below, Kairi, Naminé, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Angel, Meowth, and the rest of the Digimon raced to find them when J's ship flew over them.
"It's Hunter J's ship!" Lopmon said.
"That can only mean one thing! She captured Riolu," Gabumon said.
"No," Kairi said.
"Yes. But there are some strange prescence on the ship. I can sense it," Renamon said.
In the command console, J is sitting in her command char.
"Most impressive that you have carried out your assignment as promised. Obviously it was a wise choice to hire you," the man in the shades said.
"Well, there is the matter of payment," J said.
"First, I would like to see Riolu move with my own two eyes, please," the man with the shades said.
"Of course," J said. She turned the dial down on the case as Riolu's head was moving around. He growled at the man.
"That's the real deal all right," the man with the shades said, smiling. "Very well. I'll arrange to give you your payment right away."
"I'll meet you at the rendezvous point," J said. Sora, Rocky, Pikachu, and Bronzor enters the command center.
"Riolu!" Sora said. Riolu was happy to see his rightful trainer again. J grinned as she sets the capsule all the way back up. "Give Riolu back!" J took out a Pokéball and threw it.
"Drapion, grab him!" J called out as Drapion came on out. Drapion attempts to grab him as Rocky sprays something into Drapion's face, making it fall asleep.
"Sleep spray. Never leave home without it," Rocky said.
"I was aware that you were on my ship," J said. "At first, I was stunned to see you were alive, because I was hoping you were dead after what you did. And I haven't forgotten how you broke my arm and threw most of my customers in prison. It became increasingly hard to find some new business because of you."
"That was your own fault and you know it," Sora said.
"Now, surrender peacefully and I can hope to see to it that your little escape is overlooked as you continue serviving your sentence," Rocky said.
"I thnk not," Dynasmon said. He grabs Sora and Pikachu.
"Spiral Masquerade!" Crusadermon shouted as she wrapped her ribbons around Rocky, Agumon, Veemon, and Guilmon.
"You have no place here," J said. She opens the floor beneath them. They all fall below as Bronzor goes after them before it closed.
Sora, Rocky, Pikachu, Agumon, Veemon, and Guilmon kept on falling as Bronzor catches them with Psychic to catch them.
"Whoa. Good catch, Bronzor," Sora said.
"Bronz," Bronzor said. They leviatate down to the ground as Rocky cuts his way out.
"Great, we lost Riolu again," Sora said.
"Not quite," Rocky said. He took out a device. "I placed a tracker on one of the walls when we got on."
"You placed a tracker on her ship?" Sora asked.
"Yes. It's helps when you're prepared," Rocky said. With that said, Birdramon, Aquilamon, and Kabuterimon came flying down. Riku and Eevee were riding on Kabuterimon and they made a landing.
"Sora, you're okay!" Kairi said.
"Sorry if I made you worry," Sora apologized.
"That was a stupid stunt, Sora! I mean those Digimon are on there too!" Riku said.
"Riku filled us in on the situation and it was a shock to hear that there's a level above Ultimate," Ventus said.
"Now, we have no way of tracking down Riolu and J," Terra said.
"Yes we do," Rocky said. He held out his device. "I know exactly where to go."
"That was a sneaky idea," Aqua said.
"And I have a little help on the matter," he took out a phone and made contact with someone. "Elliot! You got anything on J's client?"
"He's on the move right now. I placed a tracker on his truck before anyone can notice," Elliot said.
"Good work, Elliot! I'll meet you there," Rocky said. "And in the meantime, make contact with the police and send them the coordinates!"
"Already on it, Rock!" Elliot said. Rocky breaks contact. Elliot is an eccentric young man wearing a lab coat and has wild red frizzy hair. "Those jokers think they can outwit me and Rocky, but the jokes on you." He chuckled.
"Now we have them," Palmon said.
"And now to get them before they go too far," Riku said.
"Vee," Eevee said.
They boarded as Birdramon, Kabuterimon, and Aquilamon flew, following Rocky's instructions.
Over in a canyon, J's ship makes a landing. Her second-in-command comes up from behind.
"The client will be here any minute now," J's second-in-command said. J didn't say anything as she stood up.
The flying Champion level Digimon flew towards the canyon. Bronzor was being held by Sora as his aura ability kicked in again.
"Just hang in there, Riolu! I'm going to save you!" Sora said in his thoughts.
Over to Riolu, he sensed Sora's aura and knew it getting stronger on each passing second. He knew Sora was getting closer.
"I know you will!" Riolu said.
Back to the group, Rocky looks at the tracking device.
"The signal's getting stronger! We're getting close!" Rocky said.
"Full speed ahead!" Aquilamon said.
Over to Etemon, he tracks them down at last.
"Yes! Found you!" Etemon said. "Better see where you're going!" Etemon said as he started laughing.
J and her henchmen waited for their client to show up. A van comes driving up as the man with the shades came out.
"Sorry to keep you waiting," the man with the shades said. J turned to her right-hand man. She nodded.
"Right," J's second-in-command said and placed Riolu down as one of the man with the shades' henchmen gave him a brief case. The man with the shades took Riolu in his arms.
"Yes! The Riolu that can use Aura Sphere! Mine at last!" The man with the shades said.
"Electro Shocker!" Kabuterimon shouted as a stream of blue and purple lightning and destroyed the van. They turned to see the group.
"Them again!" J's second-in-command hissed.
"Annoying pests," J said. AxeKnightmon, Lucemon, and the three Royal Knights stepped out to fight.
"You have your payment. Go on ahead," AxeKnightmon said.
"Course," J said. She and her henchmen boarded.
"We're getting Riolu back to Sora!" Birdramon said.
"Not if we have anyhting to say," AxeKnightmon said.
"Is that him? Is that AxeKnightmon, the Digimon Edgar mentioned before?" Kairi asked.
"Yeah," Sora said.
"Let's go!" Birdramon said. The three Champion level Digimon started to Digivolve. "Birdramon Digivolve to... Garudamon!"
"Kabuterimon Digivolve to... MegaKabuterimon!"
"Aquilamon Digivolve to... ShineAquilamon!"

The Ultimate level Digimon stood before AxeKnightmon, Lucemon, and the Royal Knights as they got ready to fight. The trainers stood before the man with the shades and his henchmen.
"Give me back my Riolu or else suffer the conciequences!" Sora demanded
"No! I'll give you nothing!" The man said, cligning to the capsule. Riku took out a Pokéball and threw it.
"Staravia! Go!" Riku called out. His Staravia came out. "Quick Attack on that ass!" Staravia flew at the man, making him drop the man. His henchmen went up to him.
"Boss, are you okay?" One of the henchmen asked.
"Riolu belongs to me and noboy else!" The man yelled as he went up to get the case. One of the goons took out a Pokéball and threw it.
"Golem! Use Hyper Beam!" He called out as his Golem came out and fires Hyper Beam at them. Riku took out a Pokéball and threw it.
"Dusknoir! Go!" Riku called out as his Dusknoir stood in front of Hyper Beam and it did no damage at all. He man grabbed Riolu in the case.
"This Riolu is mine! All mine!" The man said. He almost dropped Riolu when an explosion had occured. It was Etemon who had shown up. "Now what?!"
"Did you think I gve up that easily?!" Etemon yelled.
"Etemon again!" Ventus exclaimed.
"He never gives up!" Meowth said.
"I got you right where I want you!" Etemon yelled as he ran towards the group. MachoStingmon stepped in.
MachoStingmon, "Macho Spiking Strike!" He comes down at him. The monkey-like Digimon dodges and he hurls a ball of energy at them.
"Have a taste of my Dark Network!" Etemon called out. Golem got hit by the attack. The rest of the henchmen all let out their own Pokémon to deal with them. The Pokémon were also a Nidoking, a Rhyhorn, a Graveler, a Tyranitar, and a Kommo-o.
"Get that monkey!" One of the man's henchmen ordered. The Pokémon all charged at Etemon, but he pushes them out of the way.
"Don't make me mad!" Etemon yelled. Kairi joined in the battle as well.
"Happiny, Hattrem, Vulpix, Sandshrew, Pachirisu! Go!" Kairi called out. Her Pokémon came on out as well. Sandshrew, Vulpix! use Powder Snow! Happiny! Secret Power! Hattrem! Disarming Voice! Pachirisu! Super Fang!" Kairi's Pokémon went in to battle the henchmen's Pokémon and Etemon. Riku took out Incineroar's Pokéball and threw it.
"Join in, Incineroar!" Riku called out. Incineroar made his roar upon entry. The man took out a Pokéball and he tossed it. A Fearow came out and he grabbed the beak Pokémon by the leg and he flew while carrying Riolu.
The man laughed, " I'll leave you to take care of them!" Sora, Pikachu, Bronzor, and Rocky went after the man. Rocky had let out a Dodrio and a Garchomp. Rocky got on Dodrio as Sora and Pikachu got on Garchomp.
The Digimon were dealing with the evil Digimon. MachGaogamon came at Dynasmon, only to earn a punch in the face.
"Dragon Thrower!" Dynasmon shouted as he sends out dragon energy at him. MachGaogamon got struck hard. MetalGreymon aimed at Dynasmon.
"Giga Blaster!" Metal Greymon shouted as he opened his chest and fired his organic missles at the Royal Knight. Lucemon flew in.
Lucemon forms his arms together, "Grand Cross!" He fires ten superheated orbs in a cruciform syzygy. The missles explodes upon contact.
"What?!" MetalGreymon exclaimed.
"Even though I'm a Rookie level now, but my power still exceeds yours!" Lucemon taunted.
"Try me for size!" Anytlamon yelled, heading for Lucemon. His hands forms into axe blades. "Treasure Axe!" Antylamon swipes at Lucemon, but he just catches it and gave the rabbit Digimon a punch. Rapidmon flew right in to Antylamon.
"You wanna play with the big boys? You gotta remember that we big boys play rough! Rapid Fire!" Rapidmon shouted as he fires several homing missles at Lucemon. Lucemon leads the missles and they all strike at Garudamon, Lillymon, AeroVeedramon, and WereGarurumon.
"Watch the friendly fire, Rapidmon!" WereGarurumon snapped.
"Don't blame me! He moved!" Rapidmon defended. Crusadermon came up in front of Rapidmon. "Wanna dance, pinky?"
"Don't mind if I do! Spiral Masquerade!" Crusadermon spins around and struck Rapidmon hard. WarGrowlmon heads for Craniamon and aims.
"Atomic Blaster!" WarGrowlmon shouted as he fires his attack at the Royal Knight. Craniamon swings his weapon around and it cuts through and struck the cybord Digimon.
"Fool! I am a Royal Knight! You think you stand a chance against me?" Craniamon asked.
"I won't give up that easily!" WarGrowlmon said, coming at Craniamon. "Radiation Blades!" He comes at Craniamon with his blades out, but Craniamon gave WarGrowlmon a smack with his weapon again. Taomon appeared before him. Taomon took out a large paintbrush and used to to write a kanji.
"Talisman of Light!" Taomon shouted as she sends it out at Craniamon. But he wasn't phased by it.
Lucemon was dealing with MagnaAngemon and Angewomon. They came at him, but he smacked them off. MagnaAngemon extends Excalibut.
"Gate of Destiny!" MagnaAngemon shouted as the gate opens and fires a beam of energy at him. Lucemon holds his arms in front again.
"Grand Cross!" Lucemon shouted as it collides with his attack.
"Celestial Arrow!" Angewomon fired her arrow at him, but he dodges. He came at Angewomon and gave her a kick. MagnaAngemon comes at him, but he does the same to MagnaAngemon. Antylamon, Lillymon, Lillamon, and ShineAquilamon came at him, but Lucemon grinned as he held his hands out.
"Grand Cross!" He sends it out at the Ultimate level Digimon.
Over to Zudomon, he comes at AxeKnightmon with his hammer right to strike him.
"Twin Spear!" AxeKnightmon called out.
"Vulcan's Hammer!" Zudomon called out as he brought his hammer down. AxeKnightmon was quicker as he struck Zudomon and he fell to the ground.
"Did you think you can defeat me?" AxeKnightmon asked.
"I can try!" Zudomon said.
"So be it!" AxeKnightmon said as he was about to finish him off as Garudamon dove down at him.
Garudamon, "Eagle Claw!" She attempts to grab him, but AxeKnightmon struck back at her.
Over to Sora, Rocky, Pikachu, and Bronzor, they continued to chase after him.
"Stop!" Sora demanded. The man turned to see his pursuers.
He growled, "Stubborn pests!" Rocky had Dodrio run on the wall on the canyon. He was caught by surprise by what he was doing. "What the?!" Dodrio jumps into Dodrio's back.
"Fury Attack!" Rocky ordered. Dodrio lands some pecks onto Fearow, causing it to fall. The man fell as well. Sora got off of Garchomp.
"Gimme back my Riolu!" Sora demanded.
"Riolu's mine! And you'll never have it back in a million years!" The man said as he ran into a cave.
"Get back here!" Sora called out to him. Sora, Rocky, Pikachu, and Brinzor kept on chasing him.
Back to the battle at hand, the Ultimate level Digimon were losing the fight against AxeKnightmon, Lucemon, and the Royal Knights. Kairi and Riku's Pokémon kept on battling Etemon and the man's henchmen with their Pokémon.
"This ends now!" AxeKnightmon stated. He was about to finish MetalGreymon off when a appeared a humanoid dragon warrior who wearing armor on his torso, shoulders and lower legs. He wore a helmet adorned with three horns and has back horns shoot stiff towards the back and is lined with a yellow stripe. The helmet also has a small pair of nostrils. On his back is a four-pointed shield resembling wings. It wears a pair of bulky yellow gauntlets and on its hands It carries a huge three-bladed greatsword. He clashed with AxeKnightmon's weapon. "VictoryGreymon?!"
Just then, some other Digimon have appeared as well. One is wolf-like Digimon that has metal armor and a cannon on his back. Another is a humanoid dragon Digimon covered in red and white armor, wearing a golden helmet with three horns and red markings on the helmet mask and tips of the two horns in the back. His frontal horn in the front is shaped like a blade. He has golden braces on his wrists and ankles, three golden claws are located on his knuckles near the back hand, and golden talons located on its feet. He has six red folded armored wings which looks almost angelic when opened, and has a fire design on the covert of the wings. He has a long armored tail with a sun symbol on the tip of it. He has spikes located on its kneecap, and wears tire-like shoulder pads with blade-like spikes that are shown towards the front. He has lenses located on his abdomen, wings and back. Another is a Digimon that is a Greymon design, but has red armor and has cannon parts on his hands. And the other is a humanoid wolf wearing golden armor and has a long silver tail.
They deal with Lucemon and the Royal Knights. VictoryGreymon turned to his allies.
"BlitzGreymon, ZeedGarurumon, ShineGreymon, CresGarurumon! Deal with them! AxeKnightmon is mine!" VictoryGreymon said.
"Where did you come from?" MetalGreymon asked.
"Never mind that," VictoryGreymon said. VictoryGreymon took his sword and swung it at AxeKnightmon. He blocks with his spear.
"I did not anticipate your interference, my old adversary. I thought I finished you off the last time we met," AxeKnightmon said.
"A mistake on your part, I'm afraid," VictoryGreymon said.
"One I will not make again," AxeKnightmon said. He pushes VictoryGreymon back. "Twin Spear!" He lunged at VictoryGreymon. He blocked with his sword.
"Dramon Breaker!" VictoryGreymon shouted as he swings his sword to block him. BlitzGreymon and ZeedGarurumon heads right towards Dynasmon and Crusadermon.
"Zeed Cannon!" ZeedGarurumon shouted fires green energy from his cannon.
"Plasma Stake!" BlitzGreymon shouted as he comes at Dynasmon with his arms. ShineGreymon and CresGarurumon heads right towards Lucemon. ShineGreymon summons a sword from the earth.
"GeoGrey Sword!" ShineGreymon shouted as he swung at him.
"Beast Cyclone!" CresGarurumon shouted as he spins around and turned into a giant blade. Lucemon is struck. Etemon sees the new Digimon and fled since he knew he stood no chance against any of them alone.
VictoryGreymon and AxeKnightmon clashed with their blades.
"You fight better than I remember," AxeKnightmon said.
"As do you," VictoryGreymon said. He kept on fighting. AxeKnight knocks VictoryGreymon down.
"Now to wipe you out!" AxeKnightmon said as he lunged at. MetalGreymon stepped in and stuck out his claw.
"Mega Claw!" MetalGreymon shouted as he shoots his claw at him. AxeKnightmon is struck as VictoryGreymon gets back up and he prepares to swing his sword again.
"Dramon Breaker!" VictoryGreymon shouted. AxeKnightmon vanishes along with Lucemon and the Royal Knights.
"This battle is yours, but you haven't seent the last of me. I'll be back," AxeKnightmon said.
"They got away," MetalGreymon said.
"He's right. He'll be back and I'll be ready for him," VictoryGreymon said. All of the Digimon all DeDigivolve. Angewomon reverts back into a small white dog-like Digimon wearing a gold ring like a dog collar.
"That was an intense fight," Tentomon said.
"It was a good thing you showed up when you did, VictoryGreymon," Guilmon said.
"All in a day's work, my friend," VictoryGreymon said. "Leomon has sent us over as a favor for him."
"We appreciate it," Kairi said.
"Hey, whre did that monkey run off to?" Meowth asked.
"Let's let him go because he's not worth it," Ventus said.
"You're right, Ven. Etemon knew he can't hold hold a candle to these guys," Terreiermon said.
"So, what do we do with these guys?" Patamon asked.
"Round them up. Because Officer Jenny should be on her way over here now," Riku said.
"Vee," Eevee said. Kairi and Naminé looked right at the puppy-like Digimon.
"Wait, aren't you Gatomon?" Naminé asked.
"Yes and no. Now, I'm Salamon. This is my Rookie form," Salamon said.
"You're really cute in this form, Salamon," Kairi cooed.
"Eevee," Angel added.
Over in the cave, the man in the sahdes carried Riolu in the case and he came across a series of caverns.
"Damn! Which way do I go?" The man asked. Knowing he didn't have time to make up his mind, he took out a Pokéball and threw it. "Aggron! Rock Smash!" His Aggron came out and began to smash the walls. The ceiling began to crumble and fall just when Sora, Rocky, Pikachu, Bronzor, and Garchomp were closing in on him.
"No!" Sora cried.
"Pika!" Pikachu added.
"I'm not licked yet! Garchomp! Rock Smash on those rocks!" Rocky ordered. Garchomp smashes the rocks into bits, clearing the path. The path was now open again, but they found that the caverns have been blocked with rocks, preventing them from following him. "Damn it! I was so close to catching him!"
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"You're not going to let that stop you, right?" Sora asked. Rocky scoffed.
"Please, this is nothing. Your Riolu has to be down one of these paths. And you can communicate with your aura. After all you're an Aura User," Rocky said. Sora looked right at the detective.
"How did you know that?" Sora asked.
"I knew from the moment I met you. Use your aura to find your Riolu. And then, we;ll know where to look," Rocky said.
"Okay, Sora said. He closed his eyes and he focused. "Riolu, tell me where you are." Sora concentrated. The man and his Aggron made it outside of the cave by destroying the wall. They walk out with Riolu. Riolu tells his trainer where he is. Sora opens his eyes and points to the first cavern on the left. "There!"
"Garchomp! Rock Smash!" Rocky ordered. Garchomp smashes the rocks, clearing the path. They caught up with the man.
"Stop right there!" Sora called out.
"How did you figure out which way to go?!" The man exclaimed.
"My Riolu told me!" Sora said.
"Told you?!" The man asked, finding it absurd.
"Riolu doesn't belong to you. Riolu belongs to him. This is your only last to give his Riolu back and surrender," Rocky said.
"Never! Aggron! Double-Edge!" The ordered. Aggron charges right at them.
"You had your chance. Garchomp! Dragon Rush!" Rocky ordered. Garchomp charges right at the iron armor Pokémon and sends Aggron falling backwards. He drops Riolu.
"Riolu!" Sora called out.
"Pika, Pika!" Pikachu added. He turns the dial down and Riolu is moving again. Riolu embraces Sora.
"Glad you're okay," Sora said. The man gets on his feet.
"Riolu belongs to me! Aggron! Hyper Beam!" The man ordered. Aggron fires Hyper Beam as Bronzor uses Psychic to redirect Hyper Beam and it struck Aggron.
"Thanks, Bronzor, I can take it from here," Sora said.
"Riolu is mine! I will not let you take it away from me!" The man hissed.
"Riolu is not yours! And he never will be! I had Riolu as an egg! And I won't let you abuse him like this! You want Riolu, then you're going have to take him back by force!"
"I intend to! Aggron! Double-Edge!" The man ordered. Aggron heads towards Riolu to land a hit.
"Riolu! Aura Sphere!" Sora ordered. Riolu fires Aura Sphere right at Aggron causing a heavy hit. "Now, use Metal Claw!" Riolu forms metal claws on his hands and swipes at Aggron. Riolu then started to evolve. The man was stunned to see it happening.
"No, no, no! It wasn't supposed to evolve!" The man exclaimed. Riolu had now evolved into a Lucario.
"Lucario!" The newly evolved Lucario said.
"Yes! Lucario!" Sora said. Lucario turned and he grinned at his trainer.
"Thank you for coming to my aide, master," Lucario said through Sora's aura.
"I had to, Lucario. You're more my friend. And don't call me master," Sora said through his aura. Rocky knew the two of them were communicating through the power of aura. The man growled in anger.
"This isn't supposed to happen! The Aura Sphere Riolu is now nothing more than a memory! It's a Lucario now! It's worthless to me now!" The man roared. He points at Sora. "You are resposible for this!"
"Riolu evolved because of the bond I share with him! The same can be said for my other Pokémon! That bond is worth more than any amounts of money in the world!" Sora said.
"I'll make you pay for this! Aggron! Iron Head!" The man ordered. Aggron charges at Lucario.
"Lucario! Bone Rush!" Sora ordered. Lucario forms bones made out of an aura and swung them at Aggron. "Now, use Aura Sphere!" Lucario forms Aura SPhere from his hands, making it more powerful than before. He threw it at Aggron and making it fall back and right on its trainer. He tried to get away, but the weight of his Pokémon was too much to push up. Rocky went over to the man with his hands still free. Rocky then handcuffed him.
"You are under arrest for collaborating with a Pokémon Hunter. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an atterney, one will appointed to you. Do you understand these rights as I have read them to you?" Rocky asked.
"Bite me!" The man hissed.
"I get that a lot," Rocky said.
Aboard J's ship, AxeKnightmon, Lucemon, and the Royal Knights are now aboard.
"Have you killed them?" J asked.
"That is no concern of yours," AxeKnightmon said. J stood up.
"Don't you dare give me that shit! I am in charge here! And when I ask you a question, I expect you to answer the-" J was cut off as Crusadermon wraps a ribbon around her neck.
"Need I remind you of your place?" AxeKnightmon asked.
"Let her go right now you-!" J's second-in-command ordered, before Dynasmon smacks him on the ground.
"Know your place, you pathetic plebeian!" Dynasmon demanded. He glared at the Royal Knight.
"I'm starting to think this was a mistake," J's second-in-command said in his thoughts. He remembered when he met up with them while AxeKnightmon was still SkullKnightmon along with Lucemon and the Royal Knights. He made them a promise to free J from prison as long as they all obeyed them.
"Now, to return to the Digital World," AxeKnightmon said. J glared at him.
"You said that we I can go on as scheduled!" J hissed.
"I can change my mind whenever I please. You and your followers will be our slaves forever! You should be grateful that I decided to liberate you at all, otherwise I would have left you to rot in that cell where I found you," AxeKnightmon said.
"You lying son-of-a-bi-" J was cut off again when he knocked her down.
"Such poor manners. This is not befitting for a lady at all," AxeKnightmon said. "It matters not. The Digital World awaits." J's ship enters a Digital Gate and into the Digital World. Lilithmon, Barbamon, Leviamon, Daemon, Belphemon, and Examon all stood in a land of darkness. AxeKnightmon, Lucemon, and the Royal Knights along with J and her crew depart from it.
"Welcome back, AxeKnightmon. I trust your trip went well?" Lilithmon flirted.
"It was pleasant. How goes the war?" AxeKnightmon asked.
"Leomon's Resistance and Myotismon's forces continues on, but that is hardly news," Barbamon said.
"I see," AxeKnightmon said.
"Myotismon plans on entering the real world himself. And he hopes to take both worlds for himself," Daemon said.
"Beelzemon has done a wonderful job keeping tabs on him inside. No matter the outcome, the victors shall be us," AxeKnightmon said.
"Shall we continue on with your plan?" Daemon asked.
"Yes. Soon both worlds will be ours and the war shall end when both sides eliminate each other," AxeKnightmon said. The evil Digimon all grinned. Leviamon growls and he scares some of J's henchmen. Three skeleton Digimon emerge from the darkness. They were all brownish red and they had black demon wings and the tops of the skulls were black as well. They wore leather pants with metal boots and they carried a large staff with a yellow orb. They grab J and her henchmen.
"Unhand me!" J demanded.
"What shall we do with these, your lordship?" One of the skeleton Digimon asked.
"Take them into the dungeon. And make sure they're not fed plenty of bread and water, SkullSatamon," AxeKnightmon commanded.
"At once, lord AxeKnightmon," one of the SkullSatamon said. They took the Pokémon Hunter and her crew to a dungeon.
Back in the real world, the man and his henchmen were arrested by Officer Jenny when she arrived. She gave them all a fine salute.
"I wanna thank you all for rounding these crooks up," Officer Jenny said.
"It's the least we can do, Officer Jenny," Riku said.
"Eevee," Eevee said.
"And since J is out and about again, we haven't seen the last of her," Ventus said.
"The same can be said about AxeKnightmon. I have a feeling we're going to see him again," Terra said.
"Why couldn't meet more Digimon who aren't interested in fighting?" Meowth asked.
Sora turned to VictoryGreymon with a smile.
"Thanks for coming around, VictoryGreymon. You were such a big help," Sora said.
"It was our pleasure. Now, we must leave this world and return to the Digital World. The war is still on," VictoryGreymon said.
"We hope we can see you again," Ventus said.
"I look forward to it, my young friend," VictoryGreymon said. A Digital Gate opens and the Mega level Digimon all enter through it. Rocky decides to head off as well.
"Now, I shall be on my way. I still have the rest of J's clients to hunt down. And that is my war," Rocky said.
"Thanks for what you did for us, Rocky," Sora said.
"No need to thank me, Sora. It was all part of the job. Afterall, that's what you do for a friend," Rocky said. Sora smiled and shook the young detective's hand.
"Good luck in putting them away, Rocky," Sora said.
"Good luck in your next Gym battle, Sora. And good luck in your next Contest, Kairi," Rocky said. She smiled as she took him by the arm. Rocky activates a jetpack and he takes off into the air.
"Wow, that guy is awesome!" Ventus said.
"Yeah," Sora said. He turned to Bronzor. "And thanks for your help, Bronzor. You were a really big help for saving us from J's Salamence and from falling to our deaths. And for sending that Hyper Beam back at that Aggron. If you hadn't helped out, we wouldn't have gotten Riolu back. And Riolu wouldn't have evolved into a Lucario." Bronzor made its sound to Sora. He turned to Mewoth to translate.
"Bronzor says it was happy to help out, and now it wants to tag along with ya," Meowth trasnlated. Sora looked at Bronzor and beamed. Sora took out a Pokéball.
"Then, welcome to the team, Bronzor!" Sora said. He held the Pokéball and the bronze Pokémon flows inside. Stars swirls around the Pokéball to confirm the catch. Sora's Pokémon Box activates and it asks him if he wants to keep Bronzor with him. He chose to keep Bronzor in exhange for Croagunk.
Sora has Riolu back and now Riolu is now a Lucario. Also, Pokémon Hunter J is now a prisoner of AxeKnightmon as well as his slave. What sort of plan does he have for her ship? Perhaps we will have to wait and see.
