Hi everyone, I'm back with another chapter of DC Superhero Girls and Aura Guardian! In this chapter, you'll see a very very bad cat who turns out to be villainous! And now, on with the story!

*I DON'T OWN POKÉMON OR DC SUPERHERO GIRLS!*

It was another glorious day in Metropolis, as Ash, N, and Lita were helping Jessica at the pet adoption center.

Dewey: All right, team, gather round. [sighs] Okay. So today, we're gonna try to beat last year's goal and get... ...three pets adopted.

Jessica: Three? Why stop at three? I say we get all these pets adopted. Who is with me?

Ash and Lita: Yeah!

Pikachu: [determined] PIKA!

Jessica: Forever homes! Forever homes! Forever homes! That's the spirit. Now... Let's house some pets.

[dogs barking]

[panting]

[inaudible cheer]

[squawking]

[hissing]

[squeaking]

Dewey: Wow, Jess. You've got a real gift for pairing animals with families.

Jessica: Well, I believe there's a perfect owner for every pet. It's up to us to find them.

Ash: Yeah! You're really good at this, Jess!

Jessica: Thanks, Ash! And thanks again for helping me today!

Ash: No problem! It was pretty fun!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Lita: I second that!

N: Indeed!

Ash: Yep! Lita has a thing or two here with pets!

Lita: Oh, Ash [kisses his cheek]!

Pikipek: [lands on Jessica's shoulder] PIKIPEK!

Ash: [gasps] A Pikipek! [takes out Rotom Phone]

Ash's Rotom Phone: Pikipek, the Woodpecker Pokémon. A Normal and Flying type. This Pokémon feeds on berries, whose leftover seeds become the ammunition for the attacks it fires off from its mouth.

Ash: Jess, is it yours?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Jessica: Yep! Caught it the other day! [nuzzles it] And it's really cute!

Pikipek: [happy] PIKI!

Ash: That's awesome, Jess! Now you have three Pokémon!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Jessica: Yep! [gives Pikipek a Sitrus Berry] Here, Pikipek! Snack time!

Pikipek: [eating Sitrus Berry] PIKI PIKI PIKI PIKI!

Jessica: Hungry little guy, aren't you?

Pikipek: [nods] PIKI! [Bullet Seed move] PIKIPEK!

Ash: That's Bullet Seed!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Lita: Whoa!

N: Impressive!

Jessica: Easy with the attack, Pikipek!

Pikipek: [lands on her shoulder] PIKIPEK!

When they went to put a few cages away in storage...

[electricity crackling]

Jessica: [gasps]

[lights switching on]

[electricity crackling]

Jessica: Hello?

[thudding in distance]

Ash: [reads danger sign] Say's here it's a cat named Dexter.

Jessica: Dexter. How did we miss you, sweetie?

Ida: Back away from that cage if you know what's good for you.

Jessica: Wha... What?

Ida: I used to think Dexter was sweet, too. [chuckles] [inhales deeply] Until the day I tried to feed him... [shows them scratch marks on arm] ...dry cat food.

Dewey: I called him Dexy. [shows them scratch marks on stomach] Big mistake.

Katie: Remember what happened when Monica touched his tail?

Monica: [going crazy] Here kitty, kitty. Meow... Meow...

Lita: [shakes her] Pull yourself together, woman!

Ash: Sheesh!

Jessica: [chuckles] Come on, you guys. He's just a cat.

Ash: Yeah! He seems harmless!

Dewey: No! He's a bad cat. And besides, it's almost his... "time."

Jessica: [gasps]

N: No...

Ash: His "time"? What does that mean?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Jessica: [whispers in his ear]

Ash: [gasps] [to Dewey] You can't be serious?!

Dewey: Very serious!

Lita: No...

Dewey: Just leave it alone.

Dex-Starr: [purring]

Jessica: Leave it alone? I don't know the meaning of the words.

[bolt clanking]

[all whimpering]

[purring]

Monica: No! That purr! Everyone, run!

Lita: Good grief!

Jessica: They don't understand you, Dexter, but I know you're a good cat.

Ash: [pets his head] Yeah! We'll help you find a good home!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Soon, Jessica put up a bunch of signs to show the cat that's up for adoption.

Ash: I know you wanna help Dexter, Jessica, but are all these signs really necessary?

Jessica: You got any better ideas?

Ash: Good point!

Pikachu: [sweat drops] PIKA...

N: Whenever you're ready, Jessica.

Jessica: Hi, there! Interested in a sweet, adorable, cuddly little kitty?

Mother: Oh, I don't know. We're not much of an animal family.

Jessica: Well, having a cat like Dexter can teach your son all sorts of valuable life skills.

Dex-Starr: [purring from petting]

Jessica: Aw, I think he likes you.

That's when the boy was about to touch his tail!

Ash: No! Don't!

Pikachu: [scared] PIKA!

Lita: Not the tail!

Dex-Starr: [snarling]

Jessica: Wait! Please! Whoa!

Dex-Starr: [snarling]

Jessica: Whoa! Ow.

Dex-Starr: [snarling]

Jessica: [yells]

Just as the cat was about to lunge at Jessica, one of the volunteers came in and wrapped him up in a blanket.

Dewey: [panting] Jess, I told you to leave it alone! No one on Earth is going to adopt this cat!

Lita: What would you know?! Have a heart!

Ash: Yeah! What she said!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

N: Agreed! Everyone and everything deserves a chance!

Jessica: That's right!

Soon, they piled into her car to help find Dexter a good home.

Jessica: What you need is an owner with a strong will, a leader you can follow...

Dex-Starr: [meows softly]

Turns out, they had Diana in mind.

Diana: Certainly I will help this creature in need.

Jessica: I knew you'd be perfect for each other. He's strong and independent, just like you.

Diana: Fear not, Jessica. Oftentimes I cared for others' animal companions on Themyscira. I even became known as the Minotaur whisperer.

Ash: You've dealt with Minotaurs?!

Diana: Of course!

Ash: [eyes sparkle] Whoa!

Diana: [as Dexter nuzzles against her] [chuckles] See? He is pleased. [sniffles] [chuckles nervously] Oh! Ahhh! [sneezes] What is this witchcraft?

Jessica: Oh no!

Diana: [sneezing]

Jessica: You're allergic to cats!

N: Oh my!

Diana: [sneezing uncontrollably]

Jessica: Dexter, no! Get off of her! Get off!

Diana: [muffled] Remove this demon at once!

Lita: [squirts Dexter with spray bottle] Dexter! Stop that!

Dex-Starr: [hisses]

Jessica: Maybe what you need is a more traditional environment, a family structure to make you feel safe.

Dex-Starr: [purring softly]

Babs: [squealing] Jess, I've always wanted a cat! I'll call him Batkitten.

Jessica: Why not Batcat?

Babs: No, that's dumb. Batkitten!

Jessica: Oh, I think we've found you the perfect owner, Dexter. Er... Batkitten. [chuckles]

Dex-Starr: [purring]

Babs: [nervously] Uh, careful, Batkitten, that's one of mommy's favorite Batman figurines!

Ash: Wow, Babs! How long have you been collecting these for?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Babs: I don't remember! I lost count!

Dex-Starr: [purring maliciously]

Babs: [gasps, grunts] Phew. That was a close one, huh? [gasping, grunting]

Jessica: Dexter, stop that!

Babs: Batkitten, don't even think about it. It took me thirty-two hours of painstaking-[yells] Batkitten, no! [thuds]

Rockruff (Ace Jr.): [playful bark] RUFF! RUFF!

Babs: Ace Jr.! A little help, please!

Rockruff (Ace Jr.): ROCK! [to Dex-Starr] [defensive bark] ROCK! ROCKRUFF!

Dex-Starr: [hisses]

That's when Dexter lunged at Ace Jr.!

Rockruff (Ace Jr.): [scared] ROCK! [hides behind Babs] ROCKRUFF!

Babs: It's okay, Ace Jr.! I gotcha!

Soon...
Jessica: Maybe what you need is a real animal lover.

Garth: He's cool with fish, right?

Dex-Starr: [burps]

Jessica: Okay, so I have no reason to think this next one will be the perfect owner, but you never know!

Hal: Oh, sure I'll take him, I love these things. I'll teach him to catch a tennis ball, let him do his thing on a few hydrants.

Dex-Starr: [purring]

Lita: [sweat drops] Uh, Hal? You're thinking of dogs.

Hal: This isn't a dog?

Ash: [facepalms] Good grief!

Pikachu: [sighs] PIKA PIKA...

Hal: No matter! We're gonna bro-down hard. Right, D-Money? Who's my D-Money?

[door slams]

Jessica: [sighs in relief]

Dexter: [snarling]

Hal: [screaming painfully]

[alarm blaring]

Hal: Grovyle, do something!

Grovyle: GRO!

Jessica: [groans in dismay] Don't worry, Dexter. We just need to cast a wider net, show the world how amazing you are!

Ash: How though?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Jessica: You'll see!

["Who's That Pokémon?" time]

[as a silhouette shows a cat Pokémon]

Ash and Jessica: Who's that Pokémon?

Ash and Jessica: It's Purugly!

[as the silhouette reveals Purugly]

Purugly: PURUG!

[End]

Turns out, what Jessica had in mind was dressing up Dexter and making a video of him.

Dex-Starr: [growling]

Jessica: Smile, Dexter. Once the world sees how amazingly cute you are, you'll get adopted in no time.

Ash: [to N] [sweat drops] This is kinda weird!

Pikachu: [sweat drops] [agreeing] PIKACHU!

N: [sweat drops] Indeed!

Lita: [sweat drops] And how!

Olivia: Aw, look at his little hat.

Claire: He's so cute. Can we get him, Mommy, can we?

That's when the people started crowding around Dexter.

Lita: Wow! I can't believe that worked!

Jessica: [grunts, gasps] nervously] Let's just...

[all cooing]

Jessica: ...give him a little space.

Amanda: So cute.

Jessica: Maybe not quite so close,

[indistinct chatter]

Jessica: [chuckles nervously]

Greg: Oh, so cute.

Claire: Listen to him purr, Mommy! I saw him first.

Leah: I want him!

Dex-Starr: [purring]

Then there was trouble!

Ash: Uh oh!

Dexter's eyes started to glow red!

Then, deep within space, a strange red light came crashing towards Earth, and hit the pet shop, as Dexter was hit by it, and began levitating!

Claire: Look, Mommy. He's levitating.

That's when a power ring started glowing and floating towards Dexter from the smoking crater.

N: [gasps]

Lita: What is that?!

Jessica: Wait. Is that...a power ring?

Ash: But it's red!

That's when a burst of red energy shot out.

[all screaming]

Jessica: [grunts] [groans]

Dex-Starr: [telepathic] So...you want to play dress-up with the sweet little kitty-cat, eh? How do you like...this outfit?

Jessica: [whimpering] D... Dexter?

Dex-Starr: [telepathic] Dexter? [chuckles maliciously] I'm afraid not. From this day forward I shall be known as Dex-Starr of the Red Lantern Corps!

Ash: [gasps] You can use telepathy?!

Dex-Starr: [telepathic] That's right, boy! I can!

Jessica: Red Lantern Corps?

Dex-Starr: Indeed. Our members are chosen from the angriest beings in the universe, and our rings are fueled by the red light of rage!

Jessica: Oh, it was the bowtie, wasn't it? I knew that was too much.

Dex-Starr: [hissing angrily]

Jessica: Okay, Jimmy, we just have to get that ring off of his...

[running footsteps receding]

Jessica: [sighs] ...tail.

Lita: [sarcastic] Talk about courage!

Jessica: [gasps] [whimpering] Nice kitty...

Dex-Starr: [growling] [telepathic] [angrily] I am not a nice kitty! [retching]

That's when he spewed lava!

Ash: Whoa!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Lita: YIKES!

That's when they all ran!

Jessica: Dexter, please! Let's talk about this!

N: You must calm down!

Dex-Starr: [telepathic] Silence! Wearing collars. Eating kibble. Forcing me into a forever home. My forever home is suffering! My forever home is pain! And soon, yours will be, too! [retching lava]

Jessica: [grunts] Everyone, out the back! Go!

N: Evacuate at once!

That's when they made a dash again.

Dex-Starr: Cat and mouse, kiddies? Very well. Come back, scaredy-cat. [laughs maliciously] Meow?

Jessica: [gasps]

Dex-Starr: [purring] You couldn't just leave it alone, could you? No, you don't know the meaning of those words!

Ash: Dex-Starr, stop this! She didn't wanna leave you alone because it was almost your "time"!

Dex-Starr: What do you mean my "time"?!

Ash: No time to explain! Aura up!

Then, Ash transformed into Aura Guardian!

Aura Guardian: [to Lita] [holds out his hand] Ready, my beautiful Sailor Scout?

Lita: Ready, my Aura Man! [pulls out her power stick] Jupiter Crystal Power!

Then, Lita transformed into Sailor Jupiter!

Finally, Jessica transformed into Green Lantern.

Dex-Starr: [chuckles] Well, then... It appears someone else has some new outfits, too.

Sailor Jupiter: [smirks] Impressed, kitty?

Dex-Starr: [telepathic] You could use a little more color!

Aura Guardian: Well I think she's pretty just the way she is!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!

Sailor Jupiter: Aww! Thanks, Aura [kisses his cheek]!

Green Lantern (Jessica): Focus! It's over, Dex-Starr. Hand me the ring.

Dex-Starr: Never! You shall pay for your crimes against felinity.

That's when he spewed lava again, as Green Lantern created a cage to hold it.

Aura Guardian: [tosses PokéBall] Lycanroc, Stone Edge!

Lycanroc: [appearing] ROC! [Stone Edge move] ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW ROC!

Dex-Starr: [pained growl]

Aura Guardian: Yeah! That's showing him, Lycanroc!

Lycanroc: ROC!

Green Lantern: [tosses PokéBalls] Duosion, Psybeam! Litwick, Flame Burst! Pikipek, Drill Peck!

Duosion: [Psybeam move] DUOSION!

Litwick: [Flame Burst move] LIT...WICK!

Pikipek: [Drill Peck move] PIKI...PEK!

Dex-Starr: [pained growl] [telepathic] You pests!

Aura Guardian: Give up, putty tat?

Dex-Starr: Never!

That's when Dex-Starr blasted energy at Litwick and Pikipek!

Litwick: [pained] WICK!

Pikipek: [pained] PIKI!

Green Lantern (Jessica): [gasps] Litwick! Pikipek! Return!

She then returned them from further harm.

Sailor Jupiter: Sparkling Wide Pressure!

Dex-Starr: [electrocuted]

Aura Guardian: Nice shot, Jupiter!

Sailor Jupiter: Thanks, sweetie!

That's when Dex-Starr started chasing the heroes again.

Dex-Starr: You could never escape me. I am the ultimate hunter!

That's when Green Lantern created a cat toy, making Dex-Starr's feline instincts kick in.

Dex-Starr: [coos] [meows] [plays with cat toy] [meows]

Aura Guardian: [snickers] Oh man...

Pikachu: [snickers] PIKA PI!

Sailor Jupiter: [snickers] This is too rich!

Dex-Starr: [frustrated snarling] [destroys cat toy] Enough! Let's see how you like being toyed with. [growling]

That's when he sliced open bags of kitty litter and started running around, creating a massive sandstorm in the store!

Aura Guardian: [coughing] It's like he can use the move, Sandstorm!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!

Sailor Jupiter: I can't see anything!

N: [coughs] We must do something!

Dex-Starr: Oh, Green Lantern. [meows, laughs] Is this what you're looking for? You'll have to be faster than that. Over here...

Green Lantern (Jessica): [grunts] [tries to grab ring on his tail]

Dex-Starr: Let's stop pussyfooting around. [shoots laser at her]

Green Lantern (Jessica): [grunts, groans]

Aura Guardian: You guys, the exit! Let's move!

N, Sailor Jupiter and Green Lantern (Jessica): Right!

Soon, they escaped from the store, where nearly half the parking lot was full of sand.

Green Lantern (Jessica): [coughing]

Dex-Starr: And now, Green Lantern, it seems it is almost your "time." Then, this whole stinking planet will be my forever home! [growling] [attacks them with flaming construct fangs]

Aura Guardian: Look out!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Duosion: [protects them] DUO!

That made Duosion take the hit.

Duosion: [pained] DUOSION!

Green Lantern (Jessica): [gasps] Duosion!

Dex-Starr: [laughs] [telepathic] That takes care of that pesky blob!

That's when a bright light washed over Duosion! It was evolving!

Aura Guardian: Duosion's evolving!

N: Incredible!

Soon, the process was complete and in Duosion's place was a new Pokémon.

Reuniclus: REUNICLUS!

Aura Guardian: Whoa! Reuniclus!

Jessica's Rotom Phone: Reuniclus has been newly registered to your Pokédex!

Green Lantern (Jessica): My sweet Duosion... You evolved!

Reuniclus: REUNICLUS!

Aura Guardian: And I think it learned a new move!

Reuniclus: [using Psychic on Dex-Starr] NICLUS!

Dex-Starr: [pained meows]

Aura Guardian: That was Psychic!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Green Lantern (Jessica): Wow! Great job, Reuniclus!

Reuniclus: [Drain Punch move] REU!

Dex-Starr: [pained meows]

Aura Guardian: And that was Drain Punch!

Green Lantern (Jessica): Wow!

Green Lantern then grew a determined look on her face.

Green Lantern (Jessica): Reuniclus, hold Dex-Starr in place with Psychic!

Reuniclus: [Psychic move] NICLUS!

Green Lantern then created a blanket to hold Dex-Starr in place.

Green Lantern (Jessica): [gasps] Give me the ring!

Dex-Starr: [telepathic] [furious] My tail! [snarling]

That's when he started rampaging all over the parking lot, destroying things, as Green Lantern hung on to his tail, as the Red Lantern cat crashed into the pet shop.

[ring surging]

Luckily, Green Lantern was able to get the ring off his tail.

Green Lantern (Jessica): [nuzzles Reuniclus] We did it, Reuniclus!

Reuniclus: [happy] NICLUS! [points to Dex-Starr] REU!

Dex-Starr: [purring softly]

Aura Guardian: Oh, Dex.

Pikachu: [sad] PIKA.

Sailor Jupiter: Poor thing.

Green Lantern (Jessica): Aw, Dex. What are we gonna do with you?

Soon...

Jessica: [softly] Okay, Dexter. It's almost time...

[bell dings in distance]

Jessica: [excitedly] ...for dinner!

Turns out, Jessica decided to adopt Dexter!

Jessica: Well, what do you think? Am I the perfect owner or what?

Dexter: [knocks food away]

Jessica: [gasps] Oh, you!

Reuniclus: [sighs] REU...

[Recap Time]

Babs: It's recap time!

Ash: Hey, girls! Who'd'ya meet today?

[as two Pokémon cards were placed in a binder]

Jessica: Pikipek and Reuniclus!

[as the screen shows Pikipek]

Ash: Pikipek is a Normal and Flying type found in the Alola Region! They're the perfect Pokémon for Alolan Trainers to catch when they're first starting out!

Jessica: And it's quite the eater with berries!

Pikipek: [Bullet Seed move] PIKIPEK!

Ash: And it does that after eating the berries!

[End]

And that's the end of this chapter! I hope you all enjoyed it! And there's more to come! So until then, see you all next time!
