The Dreadking towered before the group of four as he let out a loud roar, causing the ground to crack and tear from the power of the being. Ziden quickly pulled out the book and scanned the beast as a new entry formed.
" Scanning complete! Dreadking Rathalos, Deviant from another world of the fabled Rathalos species that has lived for too long and reached an apex of their power. Their attacks and fire has reached a new level of power and will not be easy to take on without the proper armor or level of sharpness to pierce their scales. This being is an S+ Ranked Threat. Beware the Darkness Lord."
Ziden was seen grabbing his Elemental Driver as Takeru summoned his own Driver. all before a bright light came from Ziden's belt, soon exploding out next to him, revealing a hulking green pokemon that stood next to him. " Tyranitar? Guess you want in on this fight too." Ziden said while slapping his belt on his thigh, attaching his driver to him.
Takeru already began his transformation process into Ghost, now fully transformed as Ziden's fire Dragon formed around him and created his armor as the man looked at the dragon.
" Wasn't expecting it to leap so high up in power." Mokou said while sighing, actually going to take a smoke.
" Yeah, but what we are going to do?" Takeru asked.
" Simple, we kick its ass and then we take down Ace." Ziden explained, slidding into the card that gave him his Salamander Saber.
" Then, let us hit him with everything we have, without mercy." KAguya said as her Milotic spun around her.
Deviant Theme [ Monster Hunter Generations]
The Dreadking soon opened its maw and fired a powerful ball of fire, alot bigger than what Ziden and Mokou remembered, forcing the duo to roll right out of the way, all while Takeru dashed into the fray with his blade out and swinging it downwards onto its side, causing a blood streak to come from the impact slice, going to slice at it multiple times.
" So its still got that weird thing where if you cut it, no visible wounds form, what a weird monster." Ziden said, running up and slashing the beast with his blade, seeing flames come out from the impact.
The dragon quickly turns, swinging the tail and smashing it right into Takeru's side, sending sparks flying out of him and him flying off into a barrier that formed. " Gah!"
" There's a barrier!?" Ziden was distracted by this before the same spiked tail slammed into him, sending him soaring into the side of a building and feeling his body smash through it, bringing the wall down.
" Tch, dumbasses!" Mokou made no time to waste and leapt right into the air and coming right back down with a spinning kick, adding momentum to strike, using fire to empower the kick as the Dreadking staggered from the blow as her Blaziken followed right up with his fist glowing bright blue.
" Blaze! I! Ken!" The pokemon wasted no time at all before using his Sky Uppercut and sending the dragon flipping backwards multiple times before it landed on its feet, dizzy for a moment as Ziden got up to his feet. " This thing resists fire, of course it wouldn't be bothered by our attack." Ziden said while pulling out another card, an Attack Card. He soon slides it into the slot and closed it.
" Card Set! Attack Skill: E-E-E-E-E-E-E-EXPLOSION!" Ziden held out his hand and watched a white ball of energy form on top of the dragon, glowing brighter and brighter before exploding into a powerful explosion, causing the dragon to fall right over from the blast, soon spinning back up onto its feet, now scratching its feet into the dirt and letting out an enraged roar.
" Looks like he is quite mad. Milotic, Water Pulse!" Kaguya ordered her water type to summon up and create a large ball of water, shooting it from its mouth and watched it race to the dragon and splashed hard against it, watching the dragon stagger from the blast before focusing its rage at Kaguya, flying right up into the air and firing down a strong blast of fire at the duo. " Lets dodge!" Kaguya quickly took flight and watched as her precious serpent dodging the attack with ease before she pulled out her branch.
She held it up high as the dragon seemed to be shocked that the woman could fly in the first place, soon caught off guard by the massive amount of bullets coming from the branch, blasting hard into it and causing it to fall to the earth, struggling to get to his feet. Takeru wasted no time and began to slice heavily into the creature's face, striking at him with graceful and powerful strikes, drawing out more blood sprays as Ziden leapt out of the rubble and sliced hard down its back before it got up and soon opened its maw.
The maw quickly filled with fire before he ends up biting down on Takeru and sending him flying across the arena on fire before putting himself out by rolling. He continued this bite attack by sliding forward and soon rearing up and chomping down on Kaguya, who was caught off guard by this. This quickly prompted Ziden to leap into the air and kick the side of its head to make it let go of her, the immortal princess basically in shambles after the bite, her clothing burnt and torn.
" Damn, this really hurts." Kaguya pointed out, several of the holes in her clothing showed her wounds as they were closing rapidly as she got back to her feet. Ziden wasted no time in going on the offensive with Takeru and Mokou, everyone throwing kicks and punches at the beast, the trio soon leaping up and kicking the beast back by kicking it square in its chest before it flew high into the air.
A simple motion and then it spat out a large rock and watched it crash into the ground between the four fighters, Tyranitar was watching and waiting for its change to strike, the creature's mouth seemed to be arcing lightning.
" Eh, did it spit out a rock?" Ziden asked, watching the rock starting to leak out fire and made it look like a mist was spiraling around it before the rock began to glow bright. " Oh crap!"
All was silent when the rock exploded into a large dome and blasted everyone in radius with an unholy amount of fire, causing the hero, and his crew to be sent flying to different parts of the map before Ziden was seen getting up and looking at his body. " Fighting fire with fire makes no damn sense, I need a way to change forms!"
KAguya was slowly getting up to her feet as she began to scrunch her eyes, all before remembering something and reaching into her robes. " No wonder my bra felt so wet all the time! Ziden! Catch!" Kaguya throws Ziden an odd blue Coin as he catches and looks at it.
The coin felt wet to the touch as the symbol of a fish was right on it. " Got not choice but to use this." Ziden quickly slides the coin into the top slot, only for it to be rejected. " What?"
" Ziden! The bottom slot! Water is the opposite of Fire you dumbass!" Mokou yelled at him before ziden grumbled and slides it into the bottom slot, a blue light coming from the device.
" Coin Set! Undine! Wild Torrent!" A large geyser of water exploded out from around him as in the water was a large mermaid holding a large trident was spinning around him before she flies into the air before slamming right down onto him, coating him in the armor. The bodysuit was still pure black, that would never change but the armor itself changed, the armor on his chest was knight-like with blue and white waves on the chest. The arms and legs were all blue as well but having fins and sharp claws and toes, akin the Salamander armor. The helm was a knight's helm with bright blue eyes and a water droplet on its face with the Kanji for water on it. " Raging Waters, lets wash away your fears."
Ziden was now standing up at full height while soon cracking his knuckles. " Now then, lets get Wet-n-Wild!"
" Huh, he went all water on us, that's pretty weird." Mokou said as Blaziken agreed.
" If he is changing forms, then I best change to the best swordsman in History." Takeru reached behind him and pulled out his Musashi Eyecon, removing the Ghost Eyecon from his Driver, losing the jacket he had on before clicking on the Musashi Eyecon and placing it inside his driver.
" EYEEEEEE. BACHIRI MINNA! BACHIRI MINNA! BACHURI MINNA!" Takeru continued his poses before grabbing onto the lever of his Driver, pulling it and letting it go. " Kaigan: Musashi! Ketto! Zubatto! Chokengo!" A red jacket flew out of his device and began to release a bunch of red smoke from its opening before slamming down onto him, forming his Musashi form, the face of Ghost now resembling two swords, referencing what Musashi fought like.
Ghost grabbed his blades which were now split in half to wield them as two different blades. " My life is burning bright!"
The duo, now in two new forms were ready to fight against the Dreadking as the two immortals healed from their injuries, Milotic rearing up and creating a large tidal wave to form, soon crashing down into the massive dragon with a large amount of fource, washing the dragon into the wall nearby, the water soon vanishing.
" Ride that surf I guess." Mokou said before dashing into the fray while leaping up and throwing powerful kicks into the Wyvern's skull, only for the dragon to rear back and smash her right into the ground with its clawed wing.
" Suooooooo!" Ziden began to do odd motions with his hand, akin to how Bruce Lee did in the past before he dashed right at the dragon, throwing water covered kicks and punches. " Wacha! Wachoo!" Each kick and strike caused a spray of water to come out from the attacks, Ziden acting unlike himself in his new form.
Takeru dashed out into the fray and began to use his dual blades and sliced and diced at the Lord of Darkness, forcing it to stumble back before leaping up and slashing the wing arm, causing a part of its spikes to explode into pieces, forcing it to stagger back and let out a roar.
The man in blue armor literally did a flipkick and slammed that wet foot down onto his skull and smashed it right into the ground. And at this moment, Tyranitar finally pounced on the dragon and used its powerful Thunder Fang right into its neck, sending jolts of lightning down its body, surprised that the dragon was screaming like a bat out of hell, lightning coursing through its veins before the large pokemon came off of it and raised its arm, a bunch of sharp stones coming up from the ground and smashing into the creature's chest to send it airborne.
" Should we finish this freak off? " Mokou asked while holding up a Spell card as Kaguya seemed to be thinking of using another form of attacking, ones granted by their Exsphere.
" Fine by me, hothead, lets finish this and be done with this mess." Kaguya's tone turning serious for once, holding up her branch.
Ziden was seen pulling out a card and sliding it into his gauntlet, allowing it to glow. " Final Attack! Lets Roll!" Ziden began to crouch down and summoned a bunch of water to his right leg, causing it to be coated in water.
While Takeru was seen aiming his blade at his Driver before pulling on the lever and letting it go. " Dai Kaigan: Musashi! Omega Slash!" Takeru quickly leapt into the air and began to slash and dice the dragon while his blade gained a glow around them before swinging down and pulling on the triggers of the blade, releasing all the built up power and slicing through the beast, and falling to the ground.
" Possessed by Phoenix!" Mokou unleashed her spellcard as unholy amounts of danmaku formed around her and fired right up into the dragon.
" Shining Jewels: Hourai's Radiance!" Kaguya fired the large amount of light from the gems, each one a powerful laser that could destroy the side of a plane if it wanted to.
" Aquatic Rider Kick!" Ziden leapt high into the air with his leg stretched out, slamming it right into the Wyvern's chest, causing a large spray of water to shoot out as all the attacks erupted into the dragon all at once, causing a death screech to tear through the air before it began to explode violently, leaving no trace of the monster behind before landing on his feet.
Takeru and Ziden was seen detransforming before giving each other hi fives before gripping their burning shoulders.
" These dragons might truly be a pain if there are more of them out there." Kaguya said, looking at her ruined clothing.
" Atleast we wrapped up loose ends with that dragon, lets hope the others are having a fun time." Mokou said, going to light another cigarette.
Meanwhile in the gym...
Deep inside of it were multiple platforms, caked in blood and a large spider web in the middle of it, all around them were large mechanical vines, blocking the other girls from getting through while Youmu, Yorihime and Miko were standing on several of the platforms with this blades ready.
" So only you three got out eh, doesn't really matter to me, this place is gonna be your graves, for the Glory of Lord Sigma." Axl the Red simply points at them before leaping onto newly created thorn platforms he made for himself.
Vs. Maverick [ Megaman X5]
Youmu wasted no time with this, leaping through the air and unsheathing her blades and swung them down onto Axl the Red, the robot using a vine from its hand to block the strike with precision, struggling from the strength.
Youmu quickly vaulted off of the man and flipped high into the air, using her blade with powerful swings to create powerful and destructive wind blades at the man, using that whip like a whirling blade protected him as he leapt into the air and swings the vine,grabbing onto a floating flower and swinging around the place, before swinging that vine down onto Miko, who quickly blocked using her own sheathed sword.
" This being is quite fast in this arena, I might have to actually try here." Miko answered before unsheathing her blade quickly, creating a large sword of large to smash right down into Axl, crashing right down into the side of one of the platforms.
" Whoa, impressive." Yorihime said while leaping off of the platform and going right down to the maverick, clenching her fist before socking the maverick across the face before swinging her blade at him, being once more blocked by that vine.
" Tch, you girls are alot stronger than I took you to be." The maverick swings around in the air before creating a large spike ball and then kicking it right at Youmu, whom quickly sliced it in half, only to watch as it exploded against her and sent her crashing right into the vine wall, blocking the others from reaching them.
" Dammit! We can't get through this wall, its like whenever we destroy some, more just pop up to take its place!" Reimu said, flying before the wall as everyone was using their specials powers to try and get through the wall.
" Well, atleast we won't ever have to worry about a wall of vines to stop us from helping our friends out atleast." Sanae said while nodding happily.
" You jackass, saying that type of crap probably means we will!" Mokou was blasting the vines with an unholy amount of fire.
Utsuho was blasting at the vines with her controlled blasts as to not irradiate the area and Flandre tried her hardest to use her powers to destroy the vines, but couldn't seek the eye out.
" Guess this means we have to leave it to them inside there." Remilia created a spear but saw there was no point in doing so.
Youmu leapt around the place while gathering a white energy into her blades before spinning around. " Let us see if this Exsphere still works, Ghostly Spiral!" Youmu quickly did a spin attack, sending a spiral of wind and blades right at the flying Axl, causing him to be struck hard in the chest, the loud screech of metal being torn open as he was seen crashing down onto the platform where the Gym leader normally is.
Axl soon gets to his feet and split himself into two before standing next to each other and holding onto their whips. " Seems like you guys truly are a handful to face, then I shall not hold back." The robot leapt from where they were, before leaping around and swung them down onto Miko and Yorihime, who both blocked with their blades, leaping up into the air.
" Amaterasu!" Yorihime unsheathed her blade as a hellish blaze came from her sword and smashed right into one of the robots, blasting him right through with an inferno and destroyed the clone in seconds.
" What!?" Axl looked to his destroyed copy before seeing a cape fluttering before him and Miko soon appearing from it, holding a spell card before the machine. " how...how did I lose!?"
" Because you thought we were too weak to take you on. And that was your most fatal mistake. Human Sign: Tradition of Just Rewards." Her blade began to glow before spins it and thrusts it right to the chest of Axl the Rose, blasting the golden energy right into the machine, blasting him right into the wall and bombarding him with unholy amounts of magic, soon causing the machine to violently explode in the area, causing the vines to also explode.
" Well, looks like the fight is over ze." Marisa answered while looking to the sun shining outside.
" That maverick, it took over this Gym, have others taken over as well?" Yuyuko wondered while Ziden shrugged.
" Who knows, all I know is that we have a long road ahead of us and taking out this Shocker will make that easier." Ziden said while looking to Takeru.
" Yeah, we can't allow these guys to strong hold this land any longer, I'll keep fighting along side you guys until we save these lands." Takeru said while looking at the group.
" This shall not be easy, hopefully it shall not be as long as the last journey." Sakuya said while headig out of the gym before seeing Viola before them.
" Thanks so much for saving our town from those tyrants!" Viola quickly bowed her head and took a picture of the group before Ziden looks up to see Lightning Ace looking down at him.
" As long as he lives, I will never know peace, unless death strikes me down." Ace spoke, lightning cackling around his body. Kaguya stepping forward.
" If it comes down to that, then I will be the one to strike you down, okay?" Kaguya asked as Lightning Ace vanished in a bolt of lightning, watching as it traveled far to the north.
Ziden looked at the map function that his Pokedex had, allowing him to see every town in this place. " Wow, that is alot of places to visit." Eirin was peeking over his shoulder.
" Just means more work for us." Reimu said while sighing, now being tired of this journey.
" Well, that means, Lumiose is your next stop, be careful, I hear that Shocker's strongest members are there." Viola warned as everyone nodded and began to stock up on the food from the shops.
" So it seems you came in handy in that fight Tyranitar." Ziden said while looking up at his pokemon, the beast walking right next to him.
The Tyranitar seemed to scoff while walking proudly next to him.
" Yeah, act proud you should be, but what if we meet more of those dragons, that Dreadking was tough." Ziden said while feeling someone on his back.
" Then we take them on and beat em down, simple as that." Mokou pointed out, digging her cigerette right into his cheek as the group began their walk to Lumiose.
" Yeah, even if they are dragons, we won't back down from this fight, we will stand up and take on these threats." Byakuren said while smiling sagely.
" But I get that feeling when we hit Lumiose, our troubles will only increase." Meiling said while sighing loudly, everyone glaring at the Chinese woman.
Elsewhere...
" So the reports are true, the Icrim boy has become a Kamen Rider?" A man, cloaked in a white body suit and armor was gazing down at a Shocker Combatman. " Interesting, we had been told he had been rendered powerless, so he gained the power of the Riders." The man began to walk down the large stairs. " He is still a novice at it, so killing him will be easy, his allies, will be difficult, let us hope that Team Flare will do their jobs, the Illusionary Heroes will die here."
A large pegasus humanoid was walking up to the man. " But sir, what about the Rider that is in Lumiose? What if they meet him or he interferes?"
" Do not worry about such details, the heroes will die and Shocker will rule not only this world but all worlds!" The man began to laugh.
Elsewhere...
An odd man could be seen looking up at a massive tower, raising his finger up into the air, looking at the Tower. " Walking the Path of Heaven, the man'll Rule everything." The man was extraordinarily cocky, even showed it on his face a mechanical beetle began to fly around.
Trivia:
1. Dreadking Rathalos comes from Monster hunter Generations
2. The white suited man and the cocky man both come from Kamen rider but in entirely different eras.
Author's Notes: The plot slowly thickens as more and more things occur and happen. This plot will only get darker and more twisty than the dead trainers in the gyms. because this is one of the Darker pokemon games.
