A/N: It shouldn't be long before I'm updating a little less regularly. I've just had a full day with nothing I need to do (God bless summer holidays!) so I've just been updating like mad, however I've got a couple of busy days coming, so there'll likely be only one or two chapters each day, until we get to the new season, which will run regularly.
Chapter 6; Rei's first adventure
Rei was teleported to the Safari Zone, although she didn't recognise where she was until two workers began chasing after her for not having paid the entrance fee. She shortly managed to lose them.
"Great, I get the illegal one!" she said to herself quietly, as the workers passed by the rock she was hiding behind. She soon got up, and began searching for the Manectric Zord.
Once she'd thought she'd searched the entire park, she was going to call Whitney and Miborg for help, until she realised she was on a hill she hadn't yet climbed. She ran to the top, and much to her relief, she saw the Manectric Zord lying in a sort of pit. However, she was less relieved when she realised one of the Safari Zone workers was sat next to it. Also, he was most unfortunately looking in her direction.
"Hey, you! What are you doing here! Didn't you see the "Keep Out" sign up there!" he asked angrily, walking as fast as he could up the hill.
"Oh – I, uh – no, I didn't – but you don't understand – I-" she said tripping over her words.
"Oh, I understand all right! You're here to hurt that giant Manectric down there, ain't 'cha!" he asked angrily, "Well, yer not gonna get yer greasy hands on it!" he cried.
"No, you don't understand! That Manectric is a Zord!" she cried.
"A what?" he asked.
"A Zord! One of the giant robots that the Poké Rangers use! You do know who the Poké Rangers are, don't you?" she asked uncertainly.
"Don't be talking to me like I'm some kinda eejit! I know who they is! So why do they need that giant Manectric, eh?" he asked suspiciously, and Rei explained the situation, only making it sound like she'd been sent by the Rangers to collect it for them, rather than being the new yellow Ranger herself.
"Right. Team Rocket… So how do I know that you's is tellin' the truth, huh?" he asked.
"Ok, how can I prove that I am a good person, and I'm not just trying to use the Manectric Zord?" Rei asked.
"Well… I think it came here because it was sick…it only cam here recently, see. If you can help me make it better, then I'll trust you with it, deal?" he asked, sticking out an extremely filthy hand, which Rei reluctantly shook.
"Deal."
However, collecting Tauros manure to rub onto the Zord was not how she expected to make the Manectric Zord any better, although it did seem to soothe it, as when it hadn't had any attention whilst they were talking it had been moaning, but now it was cooing lightly.
"Now go up to the river quick, and get some water to wash it all off," the worker said, handing Rei a bucket.
Once Rei reached the river, she stopped a moment to wash herself off as well.
"My first adventure as a Ranger, rubbing crap on a sick robot," she sighed, filling the bucket, but she heard the old man yelling, so she dropped the bucket and ran back over the hill. There she saw some people she immediately recognised as members of Team Rocket.
"Get out of here, you no-good crooks!" the man yelled, but the Rockets just laughed.
"Just surrender, old man, you don't stand a chance against us! Give up, and let us take the Manectric Zord, or we'll have to do something you'll regret," one of the Rockets said, cracking his knuckles.
"Swellow, Aerial Ace!" Rei cried, and her bird type pokémon swooped down on the rockets, scaring them back, and Rei slid down the hill.
"You want the Manectric Zord, you have to go through me!" she said fiercely, striking a fighting stance, but the Rockets just laughed.
"What are you gonna do, little girl?" one of them asked.
"I'll yell, "Raichu, Thunderbolt!"," she told them, and her electric pokémon zapped them from the top of the hill.
"You little brat!" one of them roared, breaking free, and he ran at her, grabbed her, and slammed her into the Manectric Zord.
Once she'd recovered from the pain, Rei took her Neo Phone from her pocket, as it was going crazy. It was glowing bright yellow, but on screen she could make out, first the number "905", then an image of the Manectric Zord, then the number "005" and finally a human figure.
She stared at the morpher, until the Manectric Zord behind her moved. She looked up at it, and it looked down at her, and she nodded.
"You guys are in trouble now! Manectric Zord, Thunder!" she ordered, and the Zord blasted the Rockets with an immensely powerful blast of electricity, and they were sent flying.
"Bless ma soul! You cured the Manectric Zord! Ok, I trust you're a decent person. Now go take care of Team Rocket!" the old man said, and Rei flew up to the Manectric Zords head, via her Swellow, recalled her pokémon, and stood proud.
A/N: I was going to have her morph, but I've decided to save that until the end when they all meet up again. Next up, Kurtis and Sunflora. See ya!
