AN: I know it's early, but work is getting crazy again so don't expect any chapters for awhile. I don't know what is going on but I just got a text message from my boss this morning that we need to get things done. Just hope it won't be long.

Chapter 19

Back on Remnant, somewhere at the docks, members of the White Fang are busy getting things organized for Cinder's plan. Some are hauling Dust in the warehouse and organizing which Dust does what and which Dust goes where with Roman Torchwick in-charge.

"No, no, no!" Roman berate two Faunus holding some crates. "The blue Dust goes there and the red Dust goes there! Are you guys colorblind?!"

"I am, actually." the one holding the crate with blue Dust says.

Roman just rolls his eyes as he says, "Can you at least read?"

The guy looks down on the crate and it reads 'Blue Dust - Handle with Extreme Care'. "Oh."

The other Faunus says, "I'm actually dyslexic."

"But you can see colors, right!?"

"Yeah."

"THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RED AND BLUE!" Roman yells at the dyslexic Faunus. Then he yells at them both, "GET YOUR HEADS TOGETHER AND PUT THOSE DUST WHERE THEY SHOULD GO!? MOVE!"

The two immediately get back to work as quickly as they can.

Roman sighs and rub the temples of his head. "I swear, it's like working with little kids."

Mercury shows up, "Do you need a drink?"

Roman turns around and sees Mercury. He then says in a sarcastic tone, "Sure. You can get me a cocktail with vodka, orange juice, and some rocks with some painkillers."

"There should be no drinking on the job, Roman." Cinder shows up along with Emerald.

Roman gulps and tries to get it together, "I was only joking. No harm done."

Cinder just glares at Roman that makes his skin crawl as he is afraid. "None of that matters now." Cinder says. "We have a new mission and you and the White Fang will be paid well."

Roman stops being afraid and says, "Really?"

"There is a temple in the Emerald Forest that She wants us to investigate. It has something to do with that new online show that has appear on the net recently. The temple also has some statues made of precious metals and gemstones that we could use to fund our operations."

Emerald isn't happy about that as she says to Cinder, "But I want them. They look really good."

Cinder then glares at Emerald which causes Emerald to back away.

"I'm sorry."

Cinder smiles and pat Emerald's head, "Not to worry my dear. You will get one and only one. Got it."

"Yes, ma'am."

Cinder then gets serious and looks at Roman. "Back to business. We will need Neo for this job. Since my team are supposed to be students from Mistral..."

Roman thinks about it for a moment and realizes what Cinder is up to. "Oh I get it. Pretending to be volunteers from Haven Academy to back-up the Huntsmen students that are there."

Cinder gives an evil smirk, "Exactly."

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause

(Pokémon!)
(Gotta catch 'em all), it's you and me
(Pokémon!)
I know it's my destiny
(Pokémon!)
Yeah, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
(Pokémon!)
(Gotta catch 'em all)
Gotta catch 'em all
Gotta catch 'em all!
Pokémon!

Back to where we left off, Team RWBY made it to Greendale Town and came across Neo, Franklin, and some unruly Buzzwoles that were terrorizing the town. Yang and Franklin managed to capture two of the three but the last one escape. They are now in the Pokemon Center with Franklin and learned about how to raise and care for their Pokemon. So, they head towards the Pokemon Center's greenhouse garden. Weiss is brushing Nicolas' tail with a brush which Nicolas enjoys. Kitty is snuggling on Weiss' legs while Monarch, Vert and Cutsie are playing among the flowers. Ruby is actually outside with her Pokemon and they are playing tag. Blake and all of her Pokemon are actually taking a nap in the greenhouse. Yang is also outside where she and her Pokemon are working out. But her own Vert (her Cheepip) is actually flying among the tries as she enjoys being free from her Pokeball.

Franklin looks at everyone and thinks that they are all bonding pretty well. Franklin then approaches Weiss, "You are doing very well brushing your Eevee's fur."

Weiss looks at Franklin while still brushing, "Why thank you."

"You know, back when my Sylveon was an Eevee, she loves being brushed on the tail. Nowadays, she enjoys having her feelers brushed."

"Is that so?"

Franklin looks at the other Pokemon, "It looks like your Pokemon are getting along very well."

"Well, we do let our Pokemon out to enjoy themselves whenever we get a break."

"I see. But the important thing is the bond between trainers and their Pokemon. The stronger the bond, *looks at his glove with the keystone and Z-crystals* the stronger the outcome comes from battles."

Weiss stops and sees the Z-crystals and keystone on Franklin's hand. "What are those?"

"These? Oh, the diamond-shaped crystals are Z-crystals. They are special crystals I got from the Island Challenges from the Alola Region. It was my first adventure. I also got the keystone when I was doing the last challenge."

"I'm guessing those Z-crystals ensures the bond between you and your Pokemon are strong."

"Indeed." Franklin looks at Weiss and lowers his hand. "But there is a place where you can do Island Challenges here in the Ultima Region. It located further east. But for the keystones, you may have to travel west towards Jurassic City and get into the Great Fossil Mine. Or you could get them at a bunch of ruins that are scattered about along with the megastones. But there is another thing you should try to get."

"What's that?"

Franklin shows his special glove and reveals something hidden among his Z-crystals. He shows a white band that has a blue trim on one end and a red trim on the other with some sort of screen on it. "Dynamaxing."

Weiss is a little confuse on what is 'Dynamaxing'?

"I see that you don't know what that is so I think it is best that I show you and your friends."

Everyone has gather around and see what is so great about Dynamaxing. Franklin pulls out his Pokeball and throws it. What comes out is his Machamp. Team RWBY are sitting and watching like it is a class.

Franklin address Team RWBY, "As you can see, this is a regular size Pokemon." He shows his Dynamax band, "And this, this is a Dynamax Band. This band here helps out with Dynamaxing. Dynamaxing is a unique phenomenon that can transform any Pokemon into a gigantic, overpowering and mountain-size. Plus, the Pokemon that has entered the 'Dynamax State' will be able to use something called, Max Moves. These moves are one of the most powerful moves that can one shot almost any Pokemon. As for the Dynamax Pokemon, the state it is in will last for a limited time. Now observe."

Franklin activated his Dynamax Band and returns Machamp to his Pokeball. The Pokeball in his hand began to grow five times its size and looks more like a disco ball with shining red lights. He throws the Dynamax Pokeball with both hands and a gigantic, imposing Machamp comes out of it with a glowing red aura. Ruby's eyes start to sparkle as she is impressed by the giant, muscular Pokemon. Yang starts to fall in love. Weiss' jaw dropped when seeing the giant Pokemon. Blake is completely frightened as she starts to pass out with foam coming out of her mouth. Machamp flex his muscles that are now extremely oversized and does some posses. Franklin returns Machamp to his Pokeball and disable his Dynamax Band which turns the Pokeball back to normal and releases Machamp. When Machamp comes out, he is return to normal.

"You see!? That is awesome, right?!"

"YEAH!" Ruby and Yang agree.

"I wish I could show you the Max Move, but the last time I did that...I...got into trouble."

Ruby and Yang laugh while Weiss facepalms. Blake woke-up and sat straight up.

"However, the whole 'able to Dynamax any Pokemon' isn't exactly true. You see, I tweaked mine to do it with any Pokemon. If you girls want to do Dynamaxing, you have to have a band and able to locate Dynamax Pokemon in something called, Max Raid Battles. And yes, it is exactly what it sounds like which comes in the form of those special, large Pokeballs like the one I just threw."

"Oh really?" Weiss thinks about a Dynamax Eevee for a bit and starts to get...well...you get the idea.

"I got a question." Yang raises her hand. "How do you know where the Max Raid Battle is?"

Franklin pulls out his Megadex, "I got an app for that. I can even share it."

Ruby blushes a little, "Um, can I also get your number." Then she acts nervous, "You know?! I mean for advice! Not that I want to, um, well..."

Franklin laughs at Ruby. "Sorry, but no. But I do know someone that you can ask for advice. Prof. Acacia!"

"Right." Ruby looks down with disappointment.

Yang rubs Ruby's back, "Don't worry. I'm sure he'll get it."

Franklin tilted his head left and asks, "Get what?" But shrugs it off. "Anyway, I do know of a faster way to get to the Onsen Resort. Here in town, there is a special taxi service that you can take to the Onsen Resort." He points south of town, "It is located south from here. Follow the road and the taxi service should be on your left. Don't worry, just keep an eye out for giant, black birds wearing armor."

The four go, "...Huh?"

But later they got the app and went off.

Later on, Team RWBY decided to follow Franklin's instructions and headed down the road south.

While walking Blake says, "Hey?"

The three stop and look at Blake.

"Isn't it weird that Franklin just shows up out of nowhere where ever we go?"

Ruby thinks about it and goes, "Yeah. Come to think of it, does anyone remember telling him we were going to the Onsen Resort?"

"No, not really." Weiss says after thinking about it.

"Maybe he..." Yang thinks about it for a moment and thought of something. "He was there when we mentioned it to Dawn, May and Max. Right?"

"No." Blake says. "He left when all those girls chase him because of Rusty."

The four continue to walk down the street while trying to piece together a puzzle.

"I don't we mention it when he was teaching us on raising our Pokemon." Weiss tries to remember.

"Plus he did leave ahead of us a few days ago back at the Pokemon Center in Ecuador Town." Ruby caress her T.I.S.S.O.B. because of the letter he left behind.

Yang then starts to remember the boat trip, "Come to think of it, we wasn't on the boat with us. Maybe he used a large bird Pokemon to fly over. People can do that."

"True." Blake agrees. "However, I find it odd and I don't believe in coincidences."

"I agree with that." Weiss agrees with Blake.

"Is he spying on us?!" Ruby starts to get nervous and blushes like crazy with steam coming out of her ears.

"I think 'stalking' is the appropriate term." Yang says.

Ruby uses her hood to cover her face.

Weiss blared out, "That's even worse!"

"Here we are!" Blake looks at the direction Franklin said and found the taxi service.

The taxi service has large, black birds that look like they are covered in armor as they are perched on top of what looks like small taxi cars with something attached to the top where the birds can carry the so-called, cars.

Blake stands there frighten by the seven foot tall birds and asks, "What are those?"

Weiss pulls up the Megadex and learned that they are Corviknights. (Have to wait for the official Pokedex entry from the official games since it is an official Pokemon.)

"Corviknights." Weiss says. "I actually like them."

"So these are our taxi's?" Yang asks. "Those are...insanely AWESOME! Where can I get one of those?! Those are crow-tastic! I would have a raven of a time riding those!"

Ruby, Weiss, and Blake started slapping Yang for those awful puns.

After giving Yang some slaps, Ruby then says, "Okay, let's see what these Pokemon can do."

After negotiating with the taxi service, they agree to pay a fee and are taken up to the skies. Ruby and Yang are in one taxi with Weiss and Blake in another. They are amazed by how these giant raven/crow-like creatures manage to carry them and the drivers through the skies of Ultima until they see their destination after twenty minutes.

Over in a forest far outside of Greendale Town, Franklin is walking his way towards his destination northeast from where he is at. While treading through the forest, his Megadex starts ringing.

He places the Megadex close to his right ear and goes, "Yeah... No, they took the taxi service... On their way to the Onsen Resort. But I think I screwed it up by telling them about their destination... Yeah, I messed up. Now I got a question for you, found out about my past yet? ... Dang it... It's alright, I knew that it would be hard. Anyway, I am off to my first gym now over at Brazil City... Yeah... I'll meet you there and give you a full report-... A job? What kind?..." Franklin's expression went from blank to angry as his eyes shifted to his Megadex. "What!? Where?!... I'm on my way, make sure you save me a few jerks for me to discipline!" He hands up his Megadex and puts it away.

Franklin takes a deep inhale through his teeth and punches a tree. He punched it so hard that it started to fall down which terrified every Pokemon close by.

He says to himself, "If there are somethings I can't stand in this world, it is Nuzzlocke Battles. Oh, they will pay with their lives!"

Franklin marches on as he heads towards Brazil City to stop one of the worst crimes that ever exist. Nuzzlocke Battles.

AN: Another chapter is up and loaded. Thanks for the thanks about my birthday. Now for Q&A

keybladelight: No, it was Weiss that asks. Franklin went, "Hmm?" before Weiss asks. And would you please, please, stop asking about a female Pikachu and Weiss with a Togepi? Just please be patient.

Guest: Don't worry. We'll see that at some point. Just be patient. Unlike keybladelight there.

The Rev: I'll forgive ya' and thanks.

Now for some bit of news. I made a poll about my next story. Don't worry, I am still gonna work on this story, the sequel to Survival on a Strange Planet, and the Rising of the Post-Apocalyptic Shield Hero. Although the third one will be on hiatus if a second season doesn't come out soon. I have a few stories that I want to do yet not a lot of time to do them. So take your pick. If you ask me to try to do three stories at once? I will welcome a challenge. But fair warning, these stories aren't meant for children.
