A/N: I've just a got a book that tells you about different text message symbols, and although its irrelevant, so I shouldn't really do it, I'm going to open each chapter with a really stupid one. Today, :- -9 means "Person who is none too pleased to be giving birth to a squirrel". If you're wondering about the title, it's a private joke that I can explain if you're interested.
Chapter 9; Contusion, Confusion, Conclusion
Kurtis landed right in the middle of the forest on route 119 (near Fortree City), and was fairly surprised to see the Sunflora lowering its foot in his direction. He rolled out of the way, and looked back, seeing two members of Team Rocket on its shoulders.
"No! It can't be working for them!" he said to himself, running forward, in front of the Zord.
"Hey! You, Team Rocket's! Get off of the Sunflora Zord!" he yelled, waving his arms to get the Zords attention.
"That's one of the guys we told you about," one of the Rockets said quietly to the Zord, and it tried to squash Kurtis flat by stamping on him.
"Whoa!" he cried, rolling out of the way again, "They must've tricked it! If only I could have gotten here sooner!" he cried, pounding the dirt. He decided to follow them on his Tropius to see what they were doing. They were headed to the desert, then one of the Rockets stopped the Zord.
"I don't see why we can't bring the boss an extra little present on the way," the Rocket said to the other, and they grinned.
"Oh, Sunflora Zord, perhaps we could stop to help these poor little pokémon, trapped here in the desert. They can't stand living here, with the constant sandstorms, so we should bring them with us so they can be happy!" he said, and the Sunflora Zord smiled, and began grabbing all the pokémon it could, not allowing any to escape.
"So that's how you've got the Sunflora Zord to go with you!" Kurtis cried suddenly, and the Rockets spun round angrily.
"You!"
You've been lying to it, pretending to be decent! Sunflora, listen to me, they're not good people, the pokémon that live here are happy, they don't want you to move them, why do you think they were running away!" Kurtis asked, and the naïve Zord looked down at the pokémon in its "hands", who were all shivering in terror.
"Sunflora?" it said uncertainly, looking down at the Rockets.
"You fool! Why are you interfering with the masterful plans of Team Rocket! Who do you think you are to meddle with us!" one of them yelled.
"I'm the green Poké Ranger!" he told them, swooping in and knocking the Rockets off of the Sunflora Zords shoulder.
"Grr, go Steelix!" one cried.
"Go, Flygon!" the other called, both tossing pokéballs to reveal two powerful pokémon.
"Go, Tropius, Razor Leaf!" Kurtis yelled, and both the other pokémon were hit by the attack, but it did little damage to either of them.
"Then lets try a more powerful attack! Tropius, Solar Beam!" Kurtis cried, and his pokémon began absorbing sunlight.
"And whilst you're waiting for that, we'll attack! Dragonbreath!" the Steelix-user called.
"Flamethrower!" the other Rocket cried, and the two blasts combined into one huge jet.
"Let's even up the score! Go, Grovyle, Leaf Blade on Flygon!" Kurtis called, tossing another pokéball, and whilst the attack did subdue the Flygon, and the Flamethrower, there was nothing to stop the Dragonbreath…
Except the Sunflora Zord, which jumped in to block Kurtis pokémon from the attack.
"All right Sunflora! Glad to see you're back on the winning team!" Kurtis called.
"No! You traitor! Flygon, help out with Fire Blast!" the Rocket yelled, but Kurtis' Grovyle stopped the attack.
Kurtis flew Tropius from out behind the Sunflora Zord, and had it fire the Solar Beam, sending the Steelix flying into the Flygon and the two Rockets.
"Care to do the honours?" Kurtis asked, and the Sunflora Zord picked them all up, and threw them into the air.
"Thanks, Sunflora," Kurtis said, and a moment later his Neo Phone began going crazy, so he took it out of his pocket. Similarly to the others, it read "903" followed by the Sunflora Zord, then "003" and a human figure.
A moment later he received a call from the Sanctuary.
"Kurtis, I've just had a call from Greg, he said he saw a Team Rocket jet heading to Hoenn, have you seen anything?" Miborg asked.
"Well I just saw a couple of goons, but nothing like – wait, there it goes!" he cried, as the aircraft he assumed Miborg was talking about flew overhead, heading to Mt. Chimney.
A/N: That took me so long to come up with…I hope it's worth it. So, next chapter we finally find out what's happened to Kris! Ooh, isn't it just so exciting? See ya!
