Episode 07: Solaris Princess Saga Part IV: Return of Nephrite!
Queen Beryl was angry, she couldn't believe that Jadeite failed once again.
"Jadeite, you have failed one too many times to take care of the Galactic Guardians," Queen Beryl cursed angrily, "It's time for your Eternal Sleep!"
"But my Queen, give me some more chances, I promise I will find out the identities of these Galactic Guardians. I just need to come up with a plan on how to do that. I wish to take some time off for a while and think of a good way to find out the Galactic Guardians' identities. I know six of them are from the Pokemon Regions, and two of them are from the Nerima Ward in Tokyo, Japan. I wish to do some more research, and I will make you proud."
"You understand that I am willing to give you another chance," Queen Beryl said, "only because you've brought me a significant amount of energy. I will grant your Hiatus. However if you fail this time, you better pray that someone heals you, if not, it's back into the Eternal Sleep for you."
"I understand my Queen," Jadeite said as he teleported away trying to figure out how to find out the Galactic Guardians' true identities.
"Namba! Have you finished the experiment on the last two stones?" Beryl asked of the Dr.
"I must apologize, I haven't my Queen. The last two stones have some sort of protection seal on them that I haven't been able to crack. It's going to take a lot longer to do this than I thought. With Jadeite on Hiatus, I must insist that you summon Nephrite here. You could also use Jessie, James, Butch, Cassidy,and Meowth as well. I know what you're after, Nephrite can probably help out a lot more than Jadeite can." Namba said as she bowed apologetically to Queen Beryl.
"No worries Namba," Queen Beryl said, "I will let you continue your work on those other two stones. I will contact Nephrite right away." With that, Queen Beryl left the lab and went to contact Nephrite.
"Nephrite, report to me at once! I wish for you to gather energy in Jadeite's place while he tries to figure out the Galactic Guardians' true identities." Queen Beryl said as she contacted Nephrite in Tohjo Falls. "I have a mission for you!"
Nephrite nodded as he appeared in a flurry of stars in front of Queen Beryl, he then looked toward his queen and bowed, "What is it you wish for me to do my queen?"
"You've heard of the Silver Crystal," Queen Beryl mentioned, then continued, "there is another crystal that has the potential to be as powerful or even more powerful than the Silver Crystal."
"What is this famed crystal you speak of my queen?" Nephrite asked of his Queen, "I always thought the Silver Crystal was the most powerful relic in existence. There is another one as powerful or more powerful?"
"There is indeed Nephrite," Queen Beryl said, "it's called the Bronze Solaris Crystal. It's named after another Kingdom that worked closely with the Moon Kingdom. This kingdom is called the Solaris Kingdom. I'm going to give you this crystal once again. Make me proud and find me the Legendary Bronze Crystal."
Nephrite smirked evilly and accepted the crystal, he then addressed Queen Beryl, "As you wish my queen."
With that, Nephrite took the black crystal and vanished in a flurry of stars.
In the Pallet Town Gym, Ashley, Gary and the Solaris Court are having a meeting. Drew gets an idea that he hopes he doesn't regret. For some reason he's thinking it's awesome.
"Hey guys, I have an awesome idea!" Drew exclaimed as he shifted to his female form.
"What is it Darcy?" May asked after seeing Drew switch to his female self.
"Why don't we all head to Celadon and do some shopping. If I am able to switch by will between my male and female forms, I should buy an equal amount of clothes for both of them."
Ashley ponders for a little bit as she is laying her head on Gary's shoulder with her arm around him. Once she thinks about it, she has to agree with Darcy. She could use some more skirts and clothes that fit her better. A lot of her shirts that she wore over the years, though they are still long enough to cover her torso, they are quite a bit tighter around her chest area. This is to be expected since she has been traveling for about six or so years on her journey. She smiles and nods at Darcy as she speaks up, "I guess I could use a few more clothes myself. I kind of want to get skirts that would look good with my old outfits, and I also need some more shirts as well. The shirts I have now are kind of tight around my chest area now. Celadon City seems like a good place for us to start shopping. Maybe we should see if Misty, Giselle, Ranma and Akane want to come with us."
Ashley then looks toward Pikachu and asks him a question, "what do you think Pikachu, do you think that sounds like a good idea?"
"Pika Pika Pikachu Pikapi!"(Translation: That's a good idea Ashley!) Pikachu nodded.
"Okay Pikachu," Ashley said happily, "what do you think, Casey, Duplica, and May? How about you Gare-Bear?"
In Cerulean City, Misty answered along with everyone else, however Misty was the first one to speak up, "What's up Ash? Giselle and I are kind of busy trying to figure out some of the strange dreams we have been having."
Ashley nodded in understanding, but she speaks up, "I was wondering if you would like to go on a shopping trip with us. Giselle there with you?"
From right beside Misty, Giselle nodded into her communicator, "I'm here and yes I would love to do some shopping maybe Misty and I could get our minds off of all the strange dreams we've been having lately. Misty and I will meet you at the Celadon Dept Store."
"See you later Ash," Misty said to the blonde and smiled, "we will see you there."
With that, Ashley cut the channel and called out her Charizard. Gary was confused at first, so he turned to his Girlfriend with a questioning look on his face and spoke up, "Ashy-Girl why did you call out Charizard? We could have gotten their faster with the time key."
"Are you kidding Gare-Bear?" Ashley asked with an annoyed tone to her voice, then continued in a normal tone, "You heard what Setsuna said about the landing from being transported via the Time Key right? She said the landing is even harder than the landing from the Sailor Teleport. I really don't feel like falling on smack dab on my butt after arriving there."
Everyone agreed with their leader as they set off on a journey to Celadon, however, before they decided to leave, the two groups were trying to decide how to get there. Since Ashley had returned from Kalos, she had discovered that Kanto had added several mass-transit options, they even had a blue line that took people from anywhere in Kanto straight to Celadon City. There was even a Bullet Train added that could get anyone from Saffron City in Kanto to Goldenrod City in Johto in no time. Eventually, the group decided to go with the old fashioned, yet reliable transport via Pokemon to Celadon City. The others all pulled out a Pokeball with the exception of Gary. This didn't surprise anyone in the Pallet Gym one bit, considering that ever since Ashley and Gary got together, they've been attached at the hip.
The rest of the girls looked at Gary and Ashley and just giggled, they were definitely meant for each other.
"Right!" Everyone else agreed.
Ashley looked at her fourth Pokemon and asked the orange Dragon-like Pokemon a question, "Charizard can you fly Gare Bear and me to Celadon City?"
"Roarrrrrrr Roarrrrrrrr!"(Translation: Okay! Hop on!) Charizard nodded.
"Go Pidgeot! To Celadon City!" Casey said as she released her Pokemon from her Pokeball.(Meganium was inside her Pokeball believe it or not.)
"Pidgeot!"(Translation: Right!) Pidgeot said as Casey got on.
"Flygon! I choose you! Can you fly MayMay and me to Celadon?" Darcy asked.
"Fly-Gon!"(Translation: Right away!) Flygon said as May and Darcy climbed on.
"Ditto! Transform into a Fearow and fly me to Celadon!" Duplica said.
"Ditto!"(Translation: Okay!) Ditto said as it transformed into a Pidgeot and let Duplica hop on.
So they were off to Celadon City!
Celadon City Dept Store...
"This was a really awesome idea Darcy! We should do this a lot more often. It would be so cool especially if we are so bored. You are not as dumb as you used to be." Ashley said with a tiny girlish giggle.
"Hey, I resent that remark!" Darcy exclaimed angrily toward the Pokemon Trainer, "I have never been dumb, maybe a little inexperienced, but never dumb! I have competed in several contests and even won a few!"
Darcy then looked toward May and pleaded with her, "MayMay, have I ever been dumb? Please be honest with me."
May giggled and nodded, "ever since we first met you've always thought you were superior to me and were nothing but snobbish to me for a while. However, ever since we've gotten together you've been quite the gentleman, no matter what form you're in. Yes, I thought you were dumb for a while, but I no longer think of you as dumb Darcy Dear."
May then wrapped her arms around Darcy and passionately kissed her, Darcy returned the passionate kiss just as hard. Gary and Ashley also passionately kissed, then headed into the Celadon Dept Store for some much needed shopping and relaxing.
Giselle and Misty arrived via a portal from their Portal Com Devices and entered the store to greet Ashley and the rest of the group.
Tojho Falls...
Nephrite entered the main area and looked around spotting Team Rocket. He then glared at the group as he spoke up, "Okay you punks, I'm in charge now until Jadeite returns from his Hiatus. YOU ALL WILL LISTEN TO ME NO QUESTIONS ASKED!"
"Just who are you?" Jessie said as she entered the room.
"Yeah! Where is Lord Jadeite?" James asked.
"Meowth! Dat's right. Meowth said.
"Who are you?" Butch asked.
"Yes tell us!" Cassidy said.
"I am Nephrite, I"ve been here ever since we made this our base! I've just been observing you from the shadows of my room via my viewscreen. From now on I am your superior since Jadeite is currently doing special assignments for Queen Beryl. You will address me as Lord Nephrite!" Nephrite said as he stared into Team Rocket's eyes putting a spell on them.
"Yes Lord Nephrite." Team Rocket said as they bowed or curtsied toward them.
"Good. I need energy. I call upon the Moon and the stars. Show me where the highest concentration of energy is." Nephrite said.
An image appeared in midair. It was the Celadon Dept. Store.
"Excellent! I will set up a stand on the first floor that sells a lot of stuff that the Pokemon Trainers like. The pathetic Sailor Guardians cannot stop me!" Nephrite said as he grabbed some supplies. While going through some of the Tohjo Falls cave, Nephrite found some white pods. These pods looked nothing like what they used for the Youma, but he just pocketed them anyway. Maybe they could be useful to him. With a cackle Nephrite teleported to Celadon City in a flurry of Stars.
After Nephrite got there, he started making all these trinkets. Like Charm Bracelets, Lockets, Promise Rings, Earrings, Helmets of Sports Teams. He had different Baseball Teams of Hoenn, Johto, Kanto, the Orange Islands, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos. He even had some Alolan Baseball Teams. He was laughing to himself as he infused a lot of negative energy into the trinkets. He was going to harvest a lot of energy.
"Queen Beryl will be pleased. She won't have to go to Zoisite, Kunzite for help. The Great Metallia will be reborn and she will destroy this world, the galaxy and eventually the universe. Ha ha ha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" Nephrite cackled as he disguised himself as a vendor.
Back at Celadon Department Store...
"Um guys did you just feel what I felt?" Ashley asked.
"I did. Pikachu did you feel something?" Gary asked.
"Oh boy something bad is afoot," Misty and Giselle chimed together as they shivered.
"Yes I did and it's coming from the first floor of Dept Store." Pikachu said after switching to Orion.
"I feel so cold. There is trouble around here somewhere. I just hope that we can handle it." Darcy said while on the verge of panicking.
"Um guys I have a bad feeling about this store." Casey said.
"So do I," May echoed.
"This is not good. Ditto transform into a Spinarak and investigate. I have a bad feeling." Duplica said.
Ditto did so.
The Sailor Guardians and Gary then went in. They all saw a mysterious vendor and saw all the cute things on that table. They, at least the natural girls even seemed to think that the vendor was cute. They also had hearts in their eyes. Darcy just ignored the handsome vendor. The only person she wanted to be romantically involved with was May and no one else. May also didn't fall for the charms, she wanted to, but she has found who she wants to spend time with.
"Oh wow he is such a hunk!" Casey, Misty, Giselle, and Duplica said while giggling girlishly. The vendor was about 6' 3" muscular. Casey, Misty, Giselle, and Duplica were blushing uncontrollably and were about to go up to the counter, but Orion shocked them.
"Orion! What did you do that for?" Duplica inquired
"Yes why?" Casey asked.
"What did you do that for Orion?" Misty asked angrily losing the blush on her face.
"That was really uncalled for!" Giselle said just as angrily as Misty.
"Ashley, Darcy, May. Would one of you like to enlighten Casey, Giselle, Misty, and Duplica.
"Sure Orion. That guy is where the bad feeling is coming from! It would be best to stay away from him." Ashley said.
"But-" Casey and Duplica were cut off by May.
Gary nodded in agreement with May cutting the girls off.
"He is quite cute, but he is also flowing with bad vibes,." May said, "I think he may be part of the Dark Kingdom."
"Yes guys we best stay away from him." Gary said.
"Besides he looks too suspicious, " Darcy said, "no one wears that type of outfit anymore except people who are trying to trap someone."
"I guess you're right." Duplica agreed.
"What a bummer." Casey said.
Nephrite-vendor saw what those three girls did.
'There's something different about those girls. I can't tell what. They seem to be avoiding me at all costs.' Nephrite thought.
"Oh well. Get your goods here! The best in this universe for only 36 Yen a piece. Come and get them!" Nephrite-Vendor announced.
Lots and lots of girls were purchasing the Jewelry from them. The guys went to purchase the baseball helmets. Did I mention he was also selling trading cards of Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh, not to mention Yu-Gi-Oh GX, Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds, Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal, Yu-Gi-Oh Arc V and Yu-Gi-Oh VRains. There were even several girls purchasing Shoujo Anime items from him.
"Soon the energy will be harvested. And their pure hearts will also be ours. I can't help but wonder what the strange white pod I found is for." Nephrite-Vendor Whispered as he deftly dropped them onto the floor near his table.
The customers were asking him questions.
"Oh nothing. Just keep looking." Nephrite-Vendor said laughing in his mind.
'Get ready for combat my minions. I will also use these slaves to my advantage.' Nephrite thought as he saw everyone falling down because of lack of energy.
"Excellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllent." Nephrite said as he tapped his fingers together like Mr. Burns from The Simpsons.
"Soon the Dark Kingdom will rise again." Nephrite said to no one in particular.
Up on the Roof with Vending Machines...
The Sailor Guardians and Gary were having a meeting and drinking Bottled Water. For some odd reason everyone disappeared. So they could talk in private.
"We need to contact HQ and tell Ashlynn and Deanna to keep an eye on Celadon more closely." Ashley said.
"I'll do it. Io to HQ come in this is an emergency." May said.
"Emergency Frequency? Deanna activate the view screen." Ashlynn said.
"Right. This is HQ what's the problem?" Deanna asked.
"Deanna, we need you and Ashlynn to focus on Celadon City. Something strange is going on." May remarked.
"We are way ahead of you Io. That is where the computer is focussed right now." Ashlynn said.
"Good just keep looking. Io out." May said as she cut the channel.
"We must transform. Since no one is up here, we must do this while we still can." Misty said.
"Right! Charizard use Smokescreen to cover us!" Ashley said as she released Charizard.
Charizard nodded and did what he was told.
"Let's do this! Solar Prism Power Make Up!"
"Right! Terra Power Make Up!"
"Agreed! Callisto Power Make Up!"
"Okay here goes! Triton Power Make Up!"
"This is totally not right! Ganymede Power Make Up!"
"This is so wrong. I thought we were going to be able to relax! I guess I was wrong! Io Power Make Up!"
"I agree with you! Rhea Power Make Up!"
Gary nodded in agreement as he raised his Silver Rose to the sky becoming Silver Rose.
With the Transformations done, the Galactic Guardians got ready to maintain the peace and sanctity of Celadon City.
"Good job Charizard! You deserve a rest return! Let's go girls!" Solaris said as she recalled Charizard. She also addressed the other Senshi and they were off. Orion quickly jumped onto Solaris' shoulder.
Back with Nephrite and the recently drained...
"Now my slaves arise. Strip this place of all of its valuables. All in the name of Queen Beryl!" Nephrite said as he shed his disguise and destroyed the stand.
All of the slaves that Nephrite's monster drained got up and started pillaging the place.
"Catalgal! Get all of the pure hearts you can from the ones that haven't been drained." Nephrite said.
The Daimon looked like a female catalog with arms and legs. Her star was on the front cover. She went up to a number of customers and extracted their pure hearts.
The Sailor Guardians then showed up. They all lined up behind Solaris and Silver Rose.
"Hold it right there! This is a place where people go to shop, drink soda, lemonade and water and have a good time. This is not for your kind. In the name of the Sun! I am Sailor Solaris! I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! In the name of the star Solaris I will punish you! Solar Beam!" Sailor Solaris said as she struck a pose and executed the attack..
"I will also punish you! I am Sailor Terra! In the name of the Earth I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! Sand Spiral!" Terra said as she too struck a pose.
"Hey, don't forget about me, I am the pretty guardian of Ice, I am Sailor Callisto! In the name of Jupiter's Icy Moon Callisto I will punish you! Ice Storm!" Sailor Callisto said as she sent an attack toward Nephrite and also struck a pose.
"Who are you?! I am Sailor Io! In the name of Jupiter's Fiery Moon Io, I will punish you! Lava Blast!" Io said as she struck a pose and executed her attack.
"I am the second Dark Kingdom General! My name is Nephrite! You will pay Sailor Guardians. The Dark Kingdom will triumph! Go my slaves attack! Daimons, Youma you attack too." Nephrite said.
The slaves and the monsters did so.
"Guys we can't kill these people! They are living things. We also must return those Pure Hearts or whatever those shiny things floating in the air are. If we don't, the world will be so doomed! Orion use Thunder Wave to paralyze the slaves!" Solaris said.
"Right Solaris! We don't want to hurt you people. Thunder Wave!" Orion said as he paralyzed the slaves completely so they couldn't move.
"Yes let us do this!" Terra said.
"You don't scare me Sailor Guardians. Are you even real Sailor Guardians? I've never heard of you." Nephrite said.
"Yes we are real take this! Solar Beam/Sand Spiral!" Solaris and Terra said in unison as they attacked.
"I am Sailor Ganymede! I will punish you in the name of Jupiter's Rocky Moon Ganymede! Rock Throw!" Ganymede said.
"I am the Mimic Mistress! I am Sailor Triton! In the name of Neptune's Moon Triton I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! And that means you. Mimic! Rock Throw!" Triton said as she moondusted several youma.
"I will not stand for this! This is a place to hang out and shop! I don't approve. I will punish you in the name of Saturn's Moon Rhea! You are evil and that means goodbye! Petal Dance!" Rhea said as she executed her attack and not only destroyed the Daemons but the Youma as well. All of the Galactic Guardians returned the Pure Hearts.
Silver Rose threw several roses at the monsters and Nephrite.
"You know that you Sailor Guardians can be destroyed easily! You are not real. Dark Lightning attack!" Nephrite said.
"Ow that was un-called for! I will show you how real I am! Solar Beam!" Solaris said as she shot her beam that cancelled out Nephrite's lightning. It was still Solar Beam but it was a bit more power than she was used to using. She then fell to the ground on her knees.
"Solaris oh no! Sand Spiral!" Terra said as she tried to kill Nephrite, but he decided to leave the ground so the attack didn't work.
The only attack that did any damage at all to Nephrite was Callisto's Ice Storm Attack.
The rest of the Sailor Guardians were too weak to do anything because as it turned out, though they were their normal attacks, they had put more power into them.
"Orion help us out with you Lunar Thunderstorm Attack." Solaris said weakly.
"Nephrite you will not get away I will destroy you! Lunar Thunderstorm Attack!" Orion said as he paralyzed Nephrite.
"Now to send you Blasting off! Lunar Volt Tackle Attack!" Orion said as he sent Nephrite flying.
"This isn't over I'll be back Sailor Guardians! I will finish what I started!" Nephrite said as he teleported back to Tohjo for more planning.
Charizard released himself and did another smokescreen. The Galactic Guardians then De-Transformed. After laying down for about fifteen minutes they were re-energized and got up. They had to check on the customers.
Everyone was a little drained but fine. They just needed to rest. Duplica sent out her Ditto after it returned had it transform into an Alakazam and teleported them to the Poke-Center to rest. All of the Sailor Guardians and Gary just decided to watch TV and go to bed. They would head to Goldenrod Galleria tomorrow and do some more shopping.
To Be Continued...
Next time: The Senshi head off to Goldenrod City after a good rest. They decide to teleport to the Magnet Train Station and take it from Saffron to Goldenrod. Once they get there, all is going well until more people start falling to the ground without energy. They are going to need some help. They contact Ranma and Akane for help. Can the Galactic Guardians combat this attack in Goldenrod?
Next time on Galactic Guardians - Episode 08: Solaris Princess Saga Part V: Goldenrod Galleria Gamble! Coming Soon.
