Ziden and the Crew looked up at the massive town before them while letting out various noises of wows and awes.
" This is Lumiose City? Its really grand, alot grander than most places I have ever seen."Miko said, looking at the tall buildings while looking around, not used to such large buildings.
Lumiose City [ Pokemon X&Y]
" Yeah, a grand ole city that smells heavy with the stench of blood and despair." Remilia pointed out, looking up at the largest building they could see, the Prism Tower.
" Lots of people were slain here, and that disgusts me, even as a Youkai." Meiling pointed out as Takeru raised his brow at this, remembering that some of them weren't human.
The cars were slowly moving along the main road, causing Miko to watch them, the group knew of cars from their previous journey but Miko was completely new to this modern world.
" So uh, Ziden! What's the plan for this city? We gonna find the Gym place and beat up the people in it?" Utsuho asked while Kaguya began to think.
" No, didn't those trainers back in Aquacorde saying something about there being a Professor here that can help us out?" Kaguya remembered, Mokou sneering at the immortal moon princess.
" So, its simple, we walk around until we find the Professor and learn what we need to do and move onto the Gym." Reimu stated while everyone nodded in agreement with her.
" But, where would the Professor be?" Takeru asked while everyone began to think, Sanae was already walking off on her own, heading down the sidewalk.
" Hmm? The green haired Earthling is leaving you guys." Yorihime pointed out before everyone quickly ran after Sanae, only to see a bunch of people in red suits running around town, seeing them go into alleyways.
" Hmm? Who are those guys?" Marisa asked, tapping her broom on her shoulder while Mismagius was watching them heavily.
" No clue but no real reason to worry about it now." Ziden said while looking at the boarded up homes, people were truly afraid to leave their homes.
" Guessing that this world is usually never exposed to this level of violence, I am guessing?" Eirin asked while seeing a man face down in an alleyway, missing several parts of his body.
" Never this bad, never this cruel." Sanae said, looking away from the sight.
" JEez, why does evil always have to do such cruel things?" Yuyuko asked, floating close to Ziden as a pinkish puffball.
" Because LAdy Yuyuko, it is the only way that evil knows how to exist in this world, through cruelty and carnage." Youmu said while her Bisharp seemed to agree with those words.
" I would blame Earthlings, but it seems that this Shocker group is a force of nature that simply exists to cause carnage." Yorihime said while looking at the large building before them, a large sign saying Sycamore's pokemon lab.
" Is that the place?" Takeru asked while seeing Sanae running right to the building with Kaguya in tow. " What, hey! Hold up guys!" Takeru was running right after the duo as everyone else chased into the building after them, soon entering, the pokemon lab.
When they stepped inside, they were greeted with a nice lobby with several people in it, none of true significance yet. " Huh, an elevator, with a group this big, that might take several trips." Eirin pointed out.
Komachi began to think for a moment before Sakuya was walking to the elevator and opening it by hitting the Up button, heading inside it once the doors slides open and snapping her fingers, making the space alot bigger.
" Well that is an excellent idea, great job Sakuya." Remilia said as Flandre quickly flew into the elevator.
" Thank you Milady." Sakuya made sure to courtesy, despite not even wearing her maid outfit, watching as Meiling entered inside the elevator, soon everyone went inside it and began to ride upwards.
" Ah, elevators, I hate these things." ziden said while sighing.
" Hmm, so outside world humans use these to ascend tall buildings fast correct?" Byakuren asked while Ziden nodded.
" Must suck not being able to fly out there, I couldn't imagine if someone could take our flight away." Marisa said while Komachi thought for a moment.
" That happened to me and Yukari during the Second Ultima Brigade War, something about the Dimensional Energies messing with the worlds and our powers." Komachi remembered while Ziden nodded.
" Yeah, so you two couldn't fly at all during that, jeez, I can't imagine that." Flandre flapped her wings in the elevator while seeing the doors open and soon seeing two people talking. One of whom was very familiar to Ziden.
" Whoa, hold the phone, Ash? Is that you?" Ziden asked while running out of the elevator. The others soon followed.
" Huh, oh its Ziden! Its been ages since I last saw you!" Ash seemed happy as the duo shook hands.
" Friend of yours Ziden?" Mokou asked.
" Yeah, this is Ash, a friend of mine who lives on this world here, guess he's here too." Ziden said while Ash was nodding.
" Yeah, I came here in order to compete in the Pokemon League but sadly, thanks to the current happenings, I can't do anything about it now." Ash said while sighing before the other person spoke up.
" Ah, so this man is a friend of yours Ash?" The professor asked as the group looked at him, some of the older women looking away. The man was a definite looker alright.
" Yeah, Ziden, this is professor Sycamore, the Professor of this region." Ash introduced, gazing at the male, the white lab coat, blue dress shirt, slacks, the guy certainly was lax.
Professor Sycamore's Theme [ Pokemon X&Y]
" Pleasure to meet you all, wish it was under less threatening circumstances like we are facing right now." Sycamore stated while letting out a soft sigh, the others nodding.
" Yeah, we came here because we might as well ask, do you have any clue as to what we should do in order to stop these guys from taking over?" Reimu asked, the shrine maiden asking the right question right off the bat.
" Hmm...Well, the only option I can think of is to travel to each town and take out the Shocker groups there and liberate them." Sycamore suggested while soon opening up a digital map. " Best way to go is the gym route that leads to the west of this town since, the gym here is for people who have 4 gym badges."
" Gym Badges?" Byakuren asked while Sanae chirped up.
" They're the items we get for clearing Gym battles, which means, we should go in the Gym order and save each town then." Sanae suggested.
" Well, we should be fine since we have two Kamen Riders with us to fight those weird monsters." Sakuya pointed out while Sycamore blinked.
" Wait, Kamen Riders?" SYcamore looked confused.
" A special transformation heroes from our world can take up." Everyone turned around to see a ginger haired man, sitting down at the seat and drinking a cup of coffee while enjoying a plate of treats.
" Whoa, how long has he been there!?" Meiling quickly dropped into a battlestance, he eyes focused on the man, she didn't even sense him there at all. No one did.
" that man has been here this whole time, he told us he was waiting for two important people to arrive." Ash explained as his Pikachu appeared out of nowhere and runs up his shoulder.
Ziden and Takeru watched as the man got up and began to walk to them. " So you two are the newest Riders huh? I am mildly impressed that you two are doing so well."
" Gee, thanks, we are certainly trying our best here." Ziden said as Takeru bowed and introduced himself.
" I am Tenkuji Takeru, and this is my friend Ziden ICrim, you are right, I am new to this whole Kamen Rider thing." Takeru admitted as the man seemed to scoff.
" You will get used to it. I am Kadoya Tsukasa." Tsukasa was seen holding up a card that showed his rider form, Decade.
" Kamen Rider..."
" Decade." Takeru and Ziden looked at the man as he took pictures of the two and even of the other girls.
" You two will have to be on your toes, since after this world is saved, something major is gonna happen there and you two will be the main ones at the center of it." Tsukasa said, slowly going back to the couch and eating at his large parfait.
" What exactly do you mean by that?" Reimu asked while the Rider continued to eat his food without answering her.
" Head on to the next town, there are people there that need your help, I will stay here with the other Rider here and keep this town safe." Tsukasa said while looking at the group. " You'll learn what that crisis is real soon."
Yuyuko seemed to be skeptical of this man before Kaguya looked at Ash. " Eh!? There's a new type of Pokemon!?"
" Wait what?" Ziden softly turned and headed over to Sycamore.
" Yes, we recently discovered an entirely new type here in Kalos, known simply as the Fairy Types."
" Fairy types...that is certainly new." Sanae said, remembering when Dark and Steel types were first revealed.
" But that is not all, from these lands, a new secret was revealed that changed the entire world of Pokemon. There lies another stage beyond Evolution." Sycamore explained as Yorihime raised her brow.
" Another stage? Don't these beings halt their Evolution after a certain point?" Yorihime asked, her arms crossed and her gaze rather cold.
" Yes, but it seems that through a new technique, its possible for Pokemon to Evolve beyond their limits, simply known as Mega Evolution." Sycamore said as Ziden and co got interested.
" So how does one trigger Mega Evolution or whatever it is called." Youmu asked while everyone began to nod, wanting to know the answer.
" It seems that in order to trigger Mega Evolution, you need three things. A Keystone to trigger as the catalyst. A Mega Stone to allow the pokemon to change forms. And a strong bond between Trainer and Pokemon in order to cause the event to happen." Sycamore said while looking at the group.
" So where exactly can we find those items?" Ziden asked while looking at the Professor before Ash piqued up.
" Well, you need to go visit Shalour City and visit the Tower there so you can learn alot more about it." Ash answered.
" Guessing you're gonna be coming with us?" Remilia asked, softly looking at her Magikarp bouncing freely around her. What a useless Pokemon.
" Sadly no, Pokemon Trainers have to remain inside or we'll get..."
" I get it Ash, yo, Pikachu, stay safe, you never know when a new tournament is coming." Ziden said while looking at them, the Pikachu nodding.
" Tournament?" Takeru asked while the duo went into the elevator.
" Its some weird tournament Ziden works at where many fighters, good or evil fight against each other for fun and games." Marisa explained. " I kinda wish one of us could go, so one of us can rep Gensokyo."
" Yeah... I wonder if a Rider will ever be able to get in." Takeru wondered while Sanae was happily imagining this.
" So Sanae, you know these Riders, who is that Decade guy?" Eirin asked while Sanae began to chirp happy.
" I couldn't remember while we were in there but he is the 10th Heisei Rider! Kamen Rider Decade!" Sanae said as Mokou looked at her with a raised brow.
" Heisei? He's a Rider of the Heisei era? Jeez, I lost track of the time." Mokou said while Ziden looked confused.
" Eh?"
" Ziden...Its an era of history, I believe its the current era that the outside Japan is going through right now." Reimu explained while looking at him as he nodded in understanding.
" Makes sense, so we gonna head out of town and then get into some trouble right?" Ziden asked while the duo began their long walk to the western part of town , only to see cops blockading part of the town.
" A power outage? So that's why we can't go past here?" Flandre asked as the cop nodded at this.
" Doesn't really make that much sense in hindsight, but it kinda just...does?" Meiling asked while everyone began to back away before the cop screamed and everyone turned around to see a large blade coming from his chest before he was thrown away, a large man with a blade for an arm was walking forward. Takeru instantly recognized the man.
" You're that Gamma, The Katana one!" The Katana Gamma lets out a loud laugh.
" The very same one who took your life, Kamen Rider Ghost!" The Katana Gamma lets out a loud laugh as everyone got on their guard as the Gamma began to summon various odd men cloaked in black, those purple eye belts were off putting as alot of them were summoned.
" Heh, looks like we finally get a rumble!" MArisa was already taking flight and holding out her mini Hakkero, all before the Katana Gamma sliced the air, causing a blade to slam into the ground behind them and send them flying into the air and sending back in the street, Ziden, Remilia, Skuya and Takeru were the ones closest to the Gamma as the odd black cloaked creatures went after everyone else. " Damn! Why is it always an explosion!"
" Never heard you complaining about an explosion before." Eirin said, getting to her feet slowly.
" We got alot of enemies around, hope we're ready to kick alot of ass." Mokou said, spitting out onto the ground and got ready to fight.
Ziden was about to get out his Driver before Katana quickly kicked him right in the chest and made sure to slice at everyone else, getting them to scatter. " This guy is not letting us get a chance to transform at all!" Ziden complained.
" Like I would let you guys become a threat! Now then, get ready to die!" Katana lifted up his blade, only for a mechanical beetle to fly right by and smack him straight in the jaw, sending the creature flying and onto the ground, the man who was gazing at the Prism Tower was now walking to him. " Gah! Who the hell are you supposed to be?"
The male wore a black jacket, with a nice red shirt under it and his messy hair was over his face. " So it seems that the new Riders are in a bind. My Grandmother once said, Even a Hero needs to be saved, be a man and fly to Salvation." the man spoke, pointing his finger to the heavens before looking at the Gamma, the beetle now floating around him. " I am the Man who walks the Path of Heaven, Ruler of All."
" OHMYGODITSTENDOUSOUJI!" Sanae was literally screaming as Kaguya looked at the man.
" Tendou...Souji? That's the name of someone who had extremely high expectations for their child." Kaguya said as Yorihime was now slicing down one of the enemies, watching their black blood like fluid spray out with each slash.
" Wait, Tendou! Then that means-" The Katana Gamma looked at Tendou taking the Beetle and holding onto it, a belt around his waist now.
" Henshin." Tendou slides the beetle onto the belt, soon hexagonal panels began to form around him, showing the male being covered in the body armor, the Zect insignia on his right pectoral, those glowing blue eyes visible.
" Kamen Rider! KAbuto!" KAtana yelled out as Tendou began to walk to his opponent, unaware of the white armored man, watching this from the shadows.
" Hah, I shall make sure to wipe out all of these heroes in one fell swoop."
Meanwhile...
Ash was standing in the Professor's office, looking up at Greninja. " Yeah, if there is a chance we can save this place, we will!"
" Well, I think it would be best to wait and see if those guys can free the other Gyms before they launch their assault here. After all, Even Sierra went back home to check on her friend X." Sycamore said, Tsukasa soon getting up.
" I believe its time for me to get involved and send them on their way." Tsukasa said, heading out to get to the group.
Fun Fact:
1. There are two different sets of Riders, The Showa Riders and the Heisei Riders, based on the time of that era.
2. The Katana Gamma was the very same enemy that killed Takeru in Kamen Rider Ghost Episode 1
3. Tendou Souji hails from Kamen Rider Kabuto and is the sixth Heisei Rider. You will see what is special about him next chapter.
