Chapter 8; King Neptuna
Greg landed six feet above the ocean, and fell into it. Before he could even contact the Sanctuary, Miborg teleported a wet suit onto him.
"Looks like I'm going down," he thought to himself. However, just as he was about to dive, he got caught in a whirlpool!
He cried out as he spun round, and was eventually pulled under the water. He soon washed up on one of the Whirl Islands, unconscious, and an Octillery turned up on shore and dragged him back into the ocean.
The Octillery pulled him through a huge crowd of water type pokémon, to the Octillery Zord. It was lying back on some huge coral, with a coral crown on its head. When Greg woke up, he saw the water pokémon bowing to the Zord.
"What in the world-?" Greg asked, looking around, "Weird. I guess they worship it or something," Greg said to himself, before the Octillery Zord grabbed him with one of its tentacles, about to swallow the Ranger (who screamed like a little girl), until the Zord was distracted by the sound of a muffled explosion. It dropped Greg, and waved its tentacle, and several of the pokémon swam in the direction it indicated.
"What is going on?" Greg asked himself, but he was answered moments later.
A huge submarine was moving towards them, with the Team Rocket logo on the side. In a tank visible in it were the pokémon the Octillery Zord had just sent after the explosion.
The water pokémon scattered as it approached, but Team Rocket sent nets out, and reeled them in. The Octillery Zord became frightened as all of its "servants" were captured.
"I get it! You're the King of those pokémon, and they do everything for you! But now that they've all been captured, you're scared, because you don't have to fight, right?" Greg asked, although all that came out were bubbles, but that was enough to attract the Zords attention.
"Well now you're gonna have to start fighting for yourself! Come on!" Greg said, and he swam behind the Zord, trying to push it forwards, but to no avail; in the end Greg gave up.
"Fine I'll fight them myself! Croconaw, Chinchou, I choose you!" Greg called, fumbling with his wet suit to get his pokéballs, but he eventually succeeded.
"Chinchou, Take Down, Croconaw, Dragon Claw!" he cried, and the two pokémon swam forward, attacking the sub before the Rockets had even seen him, and they caused a major dent in the side of the sub. Inside, the Rockets easily notice, and they launch a net at them, and capture the two pokémon.
"Oh no you don't!" Greg cried angrily, but a moment later, he'd captured too, and both he and his pokémon were stuffed in the crowded tank with the others.
"Octillery Zord! You've got to help!" Greg cried, but there was no way it could hear him; the fact that they were underwater, and Greg was wearing breathing apparatus was enough, but the tank would have muffled it anyway. Still, the expression of the Zord became angry, and it removed the crown.
"All right! Go get 'em!" Greg called, and the Zord grabbed the sub with its tentacles, and ripped the tank clean off, freeing Greg and the pokémon were freed (by this point Greg had returned his pokémon to their pokéballs).
"Finish them off!" Greg called, swimming onto the Octillery Zord, and it threw the sub out of the water, and came to the surface itself, in order to use a fire attack.
"Whoa, Fire Blast!" Greg said in awe, as the sub was blasted into the distance.
Greg's Neo Phone then became extremely hot, and he had to fumble to remove it from his pocket, due to his wet suit. It read, "902" then changed to an image of Octillery, then to the numbers "002" and finally to a picture of a human form.
Overhead, Greg could see a huge Team Rocket aircraft flying past, and he squinted to see where it was heading, as it flew past Cianwood Island.
"Hey, its heading to Hoenn!" he said to himself, watching it fly into the distance.
A/N: Hoenn, eh? Yes, that makes perfect sense, the climax of the Poké Rangers JOHTO movie set in HOENN… See ya!
