A/N: Here's Chapter 14 of Relic Hunters… enjoy!


Rachel grinned as she was throwing a Poké Ball up in the air. Catching an Absol was probably the most difficult. In between last adventure, it took Flare and Torch to knock Absol down for Rachel to catch one. But, her team was definitely ready to go in order to defeat Tate and Liza on Mossdeep Island. Even though, according to what Zander said, it would take them a month walk after what happened in the Safari Zone, the team decided to take their time along Route 120. They had a lot going on between a new zord combination, saving Seb on Southern Island and more. For them, they needed a break.

The team sat down along the lake shore, unleashing all of their Pokémon. As Urara's Furfrou met with Zander's Pokémon, Lamar's Greninja and other Pokémon were hanging out with Rachel's Pokémon. Seb and the others were chilling along the lakeside.

"Well," Seb said as he yawned, "I would totally like to get some campfires going, just like the old days."

Urara laughed as she turned around, "Well, who do we want to nominate to get firewood?'

Immediately, the rangers stood in a circle. As they placed their left hand out, the other hand formed into a fist.

"Rock, Paper, Scissors!"

Immediately, everyone threw out scissors… except for one person. Zander grinned as he noticed he threw down paper. The rangers laughed as they looked at Zander. Zander sighed as he looked at his other Pokémon, "Leavanny!"

Leavanny turned around as he walked toward him. Zander grinned as he looked at him, "I need your help in getting firewood!"

"Leavanny!"


Ten minutes later…

Leavanny and Zander were walking into a deep thicket of bushes. As they got to the bushes, they then noticed a couple of small trees.

"I think if we cut these trees into multiple mini logs that should start a fire. What do you think?" asked Zander.

"Leavanny!" he shouted, charging through.

Before he could, he turned around as he heard a scream. Zander noticed a woman dashing toward him. She was wearing a black leather jacket with black leather pants. She wore a green t-shirt underneath as she was dashing through the bushes, hiding behind him. Zander turned around as he looked at her, "May I help you?"

"GET BACK HERE!"

Zander turned around as he looked up toward the edge. He looked up as Courtney arrived with a few Magma Grunts.

"Ugh… I should have just got the wood and left," said Zander.

"What are you doing here?" asked Courtney.

Zander shrugged, "Well, I was minding my own business. I'm here for firewood. But, as usual, guess I'm not allowed to leave alive right?"

Courtney laughed, "You know us too well. Kill him!"

As the Magma Grunts headed straight forward, Zander turned to Leavanny. Leavanny nodded as he dashed out of the way. Zander kicked three of the Magma Grunts in the stomach, one at a time. He then jumped up, kicking five of them in the face. After the last one, he climbed onto a tree branch, dangling, he kicked a few more of them before he landed on his feet. Courtney stretched out her crossbow, releasing a golden arrow. Zander jumped up and over, dodging the golden arrow as he grabbed his Relic Detector. He slid the Relic Detector across the ground, "Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

A flash of blue light surrounded Zander as he transformed into his suit. As he took out his Swamp Blaster, he turned around as he pulled the trigger. Blue blasts came out of his blaster, shooting Courtney in the stomach. Courtney screamed as she flew backwards to the ground. Courtney turned around as Zander aimed his weapon.

"Now, what are you really after?" he asked.

Courtney turned around as she looked at him, "Unfortunately, that is something that I can't disclose!"

Suddenly, there was a rustle in the bushes. Courtney turned around as a Magma Grunt arrived, "The Dragon Neck Ball is in this area!"

"Gotta go, but we aren't done!" shouted Courtney, releasing golden beams.

As explosions surrounded Zander, Zander landed on the ground. Once the smoke cleared, he dashed toward the woods. He looked at the damage of the grass but could not find Courtney. Leavanny walked over, grabbing a few broken twigs and some lumber that was on the ground. Zander sighed as a blue aura surrounded him. His suit diminished as he went to help Leavanny.

"At least we have some firewood… they are going to love what happened. Let's go!" he said.

The woman poked her head out, noticing Zander and Leavanny walking away from her. She reached into her pocket as she looked at the green orb. The green orb was shining with a red star on it, sparkling as she looked at the woods.

Chapter 14: The Immortal Princess

"Where is he?"

The rangers were contemplating what was going on with Zander. The sun was setting in about twenty minutes and no firewood in sight.

"Okay," said Lamar, looking at his Relic Detector, "Where the hell is Zander?"

"I wish I had the answer to that," said Grace, sighing as she laid down on the grass with her feet on the rocks.

Rachel grinned as she turned around, looking at Grace, "He couldn't have gone far. Unless, he found a nice woman in the woods."

Grace rolled her eyes, "Did you have to bring that up?"

"Yes, she did."

The rangers turned around. Immediately, Zander arrived with pieces of firewood with Leavanny carrying only twigs. Seb looked at Zander with a look of disbelief. He got up from the grass as he looked at what he carried, "Oh, you were unproductive."

"Shut up, Seb… you should've been there," he said, placing the wood in the center, "And it wasn't just one… it was two. One wanted to kill me."

Lamar laughed, "I am sure one wants to if you were on 'the list'…"

"Well… if she works for Team Magma," said Zander, sitting down. No sooner he said those two words, everyone jerked their attention toward Zander. There was an awkward silence coming from the team as Urara walked forward, "What did Courtney do?"

"She tried to kill a woman who supposedly had a Dragon Neck Ball?" asked Zander.

"Dragon Neck Ball?" asked Seb.

Zander looked up as he turned to Seb, "You seem you know a lot about it."

Seb took a deep breath as he looked at the group, "Well… there's a long story to them. There are only seven around the world. When you get all seven… you get a map that leads to the Potion of Immortality."

"So… the Fountain of Youth?" asked Urara.

"Precisely," said Seb, grinning, "But in a bottle."

Zander gulped, "Well, I hope we can find her and protect those orbs."

"Well… you know how it goes. Trouble finds us," said Grace, sighing.

No sooner she said that, a red aura appeared in the background. As the group turned around, Jack walked through the bushes as he looked at them. He noticed the sky was about to turn pitch black.

"Didn't you put the fire on yet?" asked Jack.

"Oh…," said Rachel, yawning, "Flare, Flamethrower."

Immediately, Flare released a major flame attack on the logs, causing a major flame to rise. Jack grinned as he looked at everyone.

"Ah, so I can see people," said Jack, "So… we have a problem. There was a letter delivered to us."

The rangers looked at each other as they walked over toward Jack. Jack reached for his pocket as he grabbed the letter. Zander received the letter, opening the envelope with his thumb.

"Relic Hunters,

The battle for the Dragon Neck Balls have begun. If you want them, you will need to find them before Team Magma gets them.

Phantom Thief Serena."

"Serena?" asked the rangers, confused.

Zander raised an eyebrow as he looked at the letter, "Great… now we have people stalking us."


Meanwhile…

In the Magma Hideout, Maxie was laughing as he raised his saber. A red aura surrounded his saber as his Magma Grunt stood on the other side. As he stabbed the sword in the magma, the Magma Grunt screamed as it was bathed in magma. As the magma began to harden, the creature broke out of the statue. He was a black Charizard with blue flames with silver gauntlets on its wrists. He also had Machoke muscles surrounding the arms and legs. Its eyes were bright blue as it looked at the team.

"Ah, Chokazard…. Yes!" he shouted.

"Magma Beast Chokazard…. At your service!" he shouted.

"Ah… you will help me find the Dragon Neck Balls!" said Maxie, "In the morning, though."

He stepped down as he went to walk away. Courtney and Tabitha grinned as they nodded, walking away. Chokazard laughed as he was looking at the magma, bubbling and simmering.


The next day…

The sun was shining brightly as Zander was looking at the sun. He winced as he rolled around in his sleeping bag. Yawning, Zander lifted himself from his slumber. Grinning, he yawned as he stretched his arms out. He then reached for the zipper, pulling the zipper down as he got out of the bag. Quietly rolling up his sleeping bag, he looked around to notice the other rangers were sleeping in their own sleeping bags. Wrapping the green and white sleeping bag, he connected it to his green backpack. As he went to get a toothbrush, he heard the sound of someone groaning in the back. Looking to his right, he heard the sound of Grace snoring and talking in her sleep.

"Sleep-a-holic as usual," said Zander.

As he walked along the path down the hill, he noticed the sun shining on the lake. Brushing his teeth on the grass, he was looking up as he noticed the beautiful cave in front of him. As he continued brushing, he yawned as he felt the morning sleepiness.

"Ugh… I feel so tired," he said to himself.

Looking over to his right, he heard the sound of another person walking down the hill toward the lake's edge. Noticing who it was, Lamar was walking down the hill as he was looking at Zander.

"So…," said Lamar, "How's it going?"

"Well," said Zander, he sighed, finishing up, "It's been tiring."

"You were restless," the black ranger said.

"Well… I mean," said Zander, looking at Lamar as he turned around, "To be honest, the Dragon Neck Balls were something to think about you know?"

"True," said Lamar, "Why would you get it anyway?"

"I can be forever young," said Zander, grinning.

Lamar chuckled, "Well, that's nice and dandy. But, it would be hard."

"Hard?" asked Zander.

"Relationship-wise," said Lamar.

Zander stopped talking as he nodded. Lamar had a point to what Zander was saying. Zander raised an eyebrow as he turned to the lake, "Well, I want to meet her."

"You met Courtney…," said Lamar, "Why her?"

"Not her!" said Zander, "There was another woman last night."

Lamar turned around as he looked at Zander, "Say what?"

"Yeah," said Zander, sitting on a log. Lamar scratched his chin, trying to engage in a conversation, "How is she?"

"Good question. If she didn't hide behind the tree and left me alone with Courtney, I would have been able to figure out what was going on," said Zander.

"Ah," Lamar responded as he patted his hand on the shoulder, "I am sure you will meet her soon."

Zander raised an eyebrow in disbelief as he looked at the black ranger, "Whatever you say, Lamar."

Before Lamar could speak, there was a beeping sound coming from their Relic Detectors. Opening the Relic Detector, Lamar went to speak into the morpher.

"What's up?" asked Lamar.

"Rangers, meet the other rangers near the Scorched Slab. I think the answers you are seeking is over there," Jack said over the intercom. Lamar and Zander looked at each other as they headed toward the lake. As they arrived at the edge, they noticed the Scorched Slab cave. As they walked around the edge to get to the mouth, they saw rattling of the tall grass. Looking to their left, Seb, Grace, Rachel and Urara jumped toward them.

"Hi," said Seb.

"Hi," said Lamar, "What is going on?"

Seb shrugged as he turned to the Scorched Slab. He looked at the team as he then looked at the sun shining down on the cave. The rangers dashed along the lakefront as they see the mouth of the cave.

"Alright, who's up for a swim?" asked Seb.

Lamar grinned as he looked at him. Rachel took out her Poké Ball, "And this is why we have Pokémon that swim."

"Yipee…," said Urara, she said, grabbing her hairbrush from her knapsack, "My hair is going to have a field day."

Turning around, she then grinned as she opened up a black swimsuit that was in her knapsack. It had pink stripes on it with pink fins. Seb looked up as he turned around, "You have scuba gear?"

Urara grinned, "Did you think I wasn't going to come prepared? Also… press 71 on your Relic Detector."

Zander opened his Relic Detector. Pressing 71, he spun the device. Immediately, a blue aura surrounded him as he donned a white and blue striped suit. He had a blue flashlight attached to his right wrist. He also had a blue scuba tank attached with goggles.

"Scuba Hunters… these are good for underwater small trips," said Urara.

Rachel, Seb, Grace and Lamar pressed the same code. As they did, they automatically donned their scuba suits. It was the same design as Zander, except the blue stripes were replaced with their ranger color.

"Alright… let's go!" said Urara.


Ten minutes later…

Arriving at the shore of the Scorched Slab, the rangers morphed out of their swimsuits, back into their regular clothes. Excited, Zander turned around as he looked at them. Zander grinned as he looked at the rangers, "That was fun!"

"Yeah…," said Seb, looking at his feet as he noticed a Magikarp stuck on his toe. He picked up the Magikarp as he placed it back in the lake. The rangers quickly walked into the cave. Turning on flashlights, the rangers excavated the cave, looking at the designs. As they headed down the steps, the rangers were surprised at what they were seeing.

"Who knew the Scorched Slab would have all of this built?" asked Rachel.

"You know the Scorched Slab had history, right?" Seb asked, "This cave was a holding place for criminals. One person was banished to this cave for a long period of time for a crime she didn't commit."

"Then what happened?" asked Grace.

"Yup. The Hoenn Kingdom found out she was innocent. Therefore, they let her go. This woman magically transformed this place into a solar sanctuary. This was a fire and dragon Pokémon reserve," said Seb.

"Amazing…," said Grace, looking down. She grinned as she turned around, "So… I wouldn't be surprised if we find one of those Dragon Neck Balls."

"It's a possibility," said Seb, looking around with the flashlight.

As the team headed deeper into the caves, Zander was looking behind him, hearing the sounds of pebbles in the background. Examining, he saw nothing going on as he turned around. He continued to catch up with the rest of the group. As he left, someone was looking behind. Nodding slowly, the person vanished in darkness.

Heading down the stairs, the rangers walked to their left as they headed to the entrance. They were surprised as they saw the sun shining above the ceiling of the cave. As they walk inside the chamber, the team noticed an emerald sphere with red stars imprinted on the sphere.

"That's one of them!" shouted Zander, "It has to be!"

"Yep," said Urara.

As they headed toward the ball, flames surrounded them as they landed on the ground. Looking up, Seb turned around as Maxie, Courtney and Tabitha arrived with the Magma Grunts. However, next to Maxie there was a Chokazard arrived with excitement.

"Maxie…" Seb grumbled.

"Hello, team… I believe you walked right into our trap," Maxie stated, chuckling as he looked at the team.

"So you are after the Dragon Neck Balls too," said Rachel, stepping forward.

"And… we plan on getting it first!" said Maxie, "Magma Grunts!"

"Urara, barrel through and grab the artifact," said Seb, "We'll handle these morons."

Urara nodded as the Magma Grunts started to attack. Lamar, Rachel, Seb, Grace and Zander fought them all in one line. As they went to strike with their right hand, the rangers blocked with their left hand and threw a punch in the right hand. As they struck, the rangers rolled back and then threw a back kick to the ground. When more of them showed up, Urara kicked a few of them with her feet. She turned around as she used her scuba tank, smacking them around as she reached for the Dragon Neck Ball. No sooner she touched it, a woman kicked her in the stomach as she landed on the ground. Looking up, she was wearing a black leather jacket with black leather pants. She wore a green t-shirt underneath as she grabbed the ball.

"Thank you," she said, grinning.

Before she put the ball in her hand, she was then tackled by Zander. As she landed on the ground, the woman looked up as Zander stretched out his Relic Blaster, "Hand over the Dragon Neck… it's you."

"I applaud you getting this far," she said.

A green aura surrounded her hands as she carried an emerald staff with a golden scepter. Green energy beams struck as Zander rolled forward. Zander revealed his Relic Detector, "Start Up!"

Sliding it on the cave floor, a blue aura surrounded his body as he transformed into his suit, "Swamp Blaster!"

Shooting blue beams, the woman blocked the attack with her staff. As he went to attack, Chokazord slashed him across, causing him to fly to the ground.

"Zander!" shouted Urara.

Zander carefully got up as he went to attack. Urara went to grab the Dragon Neck Ball, only for her to kick Urara in the stomach. Urara stumbled back as she used a spinning hook kick, only to get blocked. Urara was then punched in the face as she was kicked. Turning around, she used her foot knocking her on the ground. As she went to strike, Rachel headed over with her Relic Blaster, shooting beams. Grace and Rachel landed in front of her as they took out their Relic Detectors.

"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

A yellow and pink aura surrounded their suits as they transformed into their suits.

"Great… more of you," she said, stretching out her staff. Green beams shot out, only to get blocked by Rachel's Thunder Scooper. Grace took out her Psychc Cutters, aiming directly at her. She grinned as her eyes began to turn bright green. Raising a bowling ball like rock, she threw it directly at Grace. Grace's blades began to energy as she cut them in half, knocking them on the ground.

Meanwhile, Lamar and Seb landed on the ground as they rolled to the ground. Maxie, Courtney and Tabitha laughed as they went to strike.

"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

A red and black aura surrounded them as they transformed into their suits. The rangers took out their Hunter Sabers, cutting across the Tabitha and Courtney. Tabitha and Courtney struck the two with their weapons as they landed on the ground. Looking up, Maxie released red energy from his saber. Striking, a red energy blast came across as the two were hit. Explosions surrounded them as they landed on the ground.

The woman laughed as the four of them stood across.

"Swamp Blaster! Hydro Blast!"

"Thunder Scooper! Thunder Crash!"

"Psychic Cutters! Psycho Cut!"

Beams of water emerged with lines of lightning and pink energy blasts combined into one. The woman stabbed her staff into the ground, creating a barrier. The energy reflected back as the rangers landed on the ground.

"Fall back!" shouted Maxie, "Chokazard, Hyper Beam!"

Chokazard released a golden energy beam, shooting the ceiling wall. As the rocks began to crush, Urara and the others gathered together as they took out their Scope Shots. As they released their Scope Shots, they released grappling hooks out, to get out of the cave. As they did, Zander turned around to notice the Dragon Neck Ball. As he went to grab the ball, the woman grabbed him by the neck as they fought over the ball as the boulders crushed on top of them.


A few minutes later…

The rangers took a deep breath as they stood at the mouth of the cave. As they looked at the mountains, Urara turned around as she looked at them.

"They were expecting us!" Urara said, "And we were so close in getting the Dragon Neck Ball."

"Yeah…," said Seb, "But, Team Magma was definitely luring us in there."

"Well…," said Grace, looking around, "Well, I would give my two cents. But, right now, I am worried about Zander."

Rachel turned around as she looked at the rangers and then at the top of the cave, "I hope he's not in there!"


Meanwhile…

A red beam shot out of the pile rocks as Zander managed to break out. Stumbling, he managed to get out of the pile of rocks that were in the crater. Turning around, he noticed Maxie and the others knocked out unconscious.

"Well…," said Zander, grabbing the Dragon Neck Ball, "At least they are knocked out."

Grabbing the Scope Shot, he jumped up and out of the crater. As he went up to the crater's edge, he landed on top as he walked toward the front. A blue aura surrounded him as he unmorphed. As he headed toward the edge, he turned around as the woman looked at him. Zander placed the Dragon Neck Ball in his pocket.

"Look… I am not here to fight you, but I have things I need to do," said Zander.

"You're not leaving with that artifact," she said.

Zander folded his arms across his chest, "Why should I give it to you? Why should I let you take this when Team Magma is after you?"

"Because I am looking for the potion…" she said.

"The Potion of Immortality?" asked Zander, "I already know you have six of them."

She turned around as she looked at him, "What makes you think that?"

Zander laughed as he looked at her, "While watching you the other day, I noticed there were six spheres in your belt. To be honest, I thought they were new Poké Balls and then I learned what they really are."

She laughed as she looked at him, "You are so naïve…"

"I am not as naïve as you think," said Zander.

Suddenly, there was a few vibrations surrounding the cave. As the woman screamed, Zander grabbed her as they started falling off the rock formation. Zander reached for his Scope Shot. As the hook grabbed the branch, both of them landed on their feet. She looked at him as Zander raised an eyebrow, letting go.

"Look… at least me introduce myself," said Zander, grinning, "I'm Zander. Who are you?"

She refused to speak as she turned to him. Zander looked at her as he laughed, "Guess you don't like introducing yourself?"

The woman turned around as she looked at him, stubborn to give her name. Zander walked toward her, "I guess you don't like people either. You already told me why you need them."

He grinned as he looked at the sphere. He looked at her as he looked at the sphere. He looked at her, grinning as he walked over. He walked toward her as he stretched out the sphere. She looked at him as she picked up the sphere.

"You want it so badly…," said Zander.

"Why did you give it to me?" she asked, "You didn't want to fight for the others?"

Zander sighed, "Well, if you want that potion. You can't do it without this one. Plus, if you want it that badly… to fight you for the six dragon balls after what you've done to my team, it would be impossible. It's called… picking your battles."

She turned around as she looked at him, "I applaud you for doing this. You might want to contact your team. I am sure they are worried about you."

Zander grinned, "I will. I hope you have a fantastic day."

She nodded as she walked away, looking at him, heading away. Zander observed as she got on a white and green boat. Using the oars, she was sailing across. Zander nodded as he turned to his Relic Detector, "I never said I was going to walk away…"


Meanwhile…

"WHAT DID YOU DO?"

Zander stumbled to the ground as the other rangers looked at him in surprise. Grace shook her head as she turned around. She looked at him as Zander grinned, "You chose looks over your brain? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?"

Zander laughed, "Well, it was more than just an offer I couldn't refuse."

"What offer?" asked Grace, "You are an idiot sometimes! I can't believe you are my brother when you do something like this."

Seb turned around as he looked at Grace. Zander turned around as he looked at Seb. Seb was silent as he walked over, "I get why. You are not interested in the Dragon Neck Ball, are you?"

Zander nodded slowly. The other rangers turned around as they looked at Zander. Zander grinned as he sat on the beach, "She needs the seven Dragon Neck Balls to find the Potion of Immortality. Well, why fight someone who has all six… when she can lead us right to where it is?"

"And how did you manage to do that?" asked Urara.

Zander grinned as he looked at her, "I noticed that the woman had six dragon balls on her belt. So, seeing what was going on… I took out the tracking device chip out of my Relic Detector and placed it in my pocket. When I met her on top of the cave and the earthquake occurred, while grabbing her, I placed the chip in her right jacket pocket.

"So…," said Rachel, pointing her finger, "We can track her using your signal."

"Precisely," said Zander, "Did you think I wasn't going to let her leave?"

"You could've," said Lamar, grinning.

Urara grinned as she took out her laptop. Opening her laptop and connecting the internet, the rangers hovered over Urara as the screen popped up. A blue signal was heading straight toward a mountain formation in Hoenn.

"She's heading toward Mt. Chimney," said Zander.

"Ah… and if its deep in the crater…," said Seb, "It probably is in the crater."

Rachel turned around, "Well, lets get the zords and quickly go!"

"Not so fast…," said Zander, "If we use our zords, she's going to know."

Urara nodded as she turned to them. Urara chuckled as she turned to them, "In that case… we are going to need these."

"We have more at our disposal?" asked Rachel.

Urara laughed as she turned to the others. She placed the green chip in the laptop. As a new screen popped up, a green check mark appeared on the screen.

"Now… we got something. Press 202 on your Relic Detectors," said Urara.

The rangers pressed the buttons and slid across. Immediately, five colored motorcycles appeared on the ground. They were silver bikes with ranger colored saddlebags attached to the back of the cycle. The front of the motorcycle had Poké Balls with handlebars. On the console, there was a radar on them as well as well as blue buttons. They also had helmets on top of the handlebars.

"Hunter Harleys," said Urara, "You like?"

"You made these?" asked Rachel.

"Yep…," she said, "They are amazing. They can track artifacts and of course, I gave weapons in case you run into trouble. Amy and Ray helped me."

"Urara, this is the best thing I have ever seen," said Seb, getting on his Hunter Harley, "I love them!"

"Thank you!" said Rachel, turning around, "But, don't you have one?"

"No…," said Urara, laughing as she pressed a button. She turned around as a white and silver car appeared in front of her. It had a Furfrou image with pink stripes. She grinned as she looked at them, "I made my own sports car."

"Of course you would," said Zander.

Urara grinned as she opened the door. Packing her bags in the back seat, she sat in the driver's seat as she put her seat belt on. She looked at them as the others got on their Hunter Harleys, looking at them.

"What?" asked Urara.

"Can we just have you drive?" asked Grace.

"Ha! No… I'll meet you there!"

Immediately, she drove around the group and blew through the grass, getting on the road. The others looked at each other as they pressed the engine button, following the path that Urara was taking. Driving through the woods on the path, Urara was looking at her rearview mirror as the others were behind her on the Harleys.

"Hey… is there a way to go faster?" asked Zander over the intercom.

"Oh, I forgot…," said Urara, "Magical Transwarp!"

"What?" asked Zander.

"Just follow me," she said, pressing the green switch. She grinned as a pink and purple portal surrounded them as they were sucked into the dimension. A pink and purple light surrounded them as they were looking at the sparkles. Rachel turned around as she was speeding up toward her, "What did you do?"

"Oh, well… I spoke with Reshimé while you were gone and she and Xerneas helped me create this new fairy type magical device. I didn't know when we were going to need it."

Rachel sighed, "You have any more surprises?"

Urara grinned, "I have more time now to do things now that I am not fighting. You'll see. Alright, here we go!"

As the white light appeared at the end of the tunnel, the rangers headed straight toward the top of Mt. Chimney. As the car magically appeared, with the others, Maxie and the others arrived as they saw what was going on.

"What the heck?" asked Maxie.

"They are here?" asked Rachel, surprised.

"Well, run them over!" shouted Zander.

Pressing a few buttons, blue beams shot out as the Magma Grunts were pierced. Courtney looked at him as Zander dashed after her. Courtney grabbed on to his arm as she swung on. Quickly, Zander swung around as he threw Courtney to her side. Courtney looked up as blue beams shot out from his Harley. Courtney screamed as she landed on the ground.

The others followed suit, shooting beams to target the Magma Grunts. The Magma Grunts screamed as they landed on the ground. Scrambling in pain, Maxie looked up as Zander was driving straight toward the crater's edge. Noticing the edge of the magma chamber, Zander could see ripples in the rock as the lights from the magma were glowing. Looking over, Zander noticed the woman going down the crater. Stopping the bike, he headed to the rock's edge as he grabbed his Scope Shot that was in his right pocket.

"Scope Shot!"

Aiming for one of the rocks, he flew down as he hung on to the rock formation. Grabbing the rock, he climbed down with the Scope Shot. The woman turned around as she looked at Zander.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" asked Zander.

As they reached a dry platform in the chamber, the two of them landed on the ground. The woman looked at her as Zander looked at her.

"You can't be here," she said.

"I'm afraid I have no choice," said Zander, looking up. The woman turned around, noticing the rangers facing Team Magma grunts. She turned around as she reached for the neck of her t-shirt. As she grabbed a golden necklace, a green-emerald aura surrounded the necklace. Zander watched as the beam struck out, hitting the wall. Zander watched as a black and green dimension opened up, enveloping them. A flash of white light surrounded them as they noticed a black and green potion sitting on a grey pedestal. Zander looked at it as the woman picked it up.

"The Potion of Immortality… it does exist. I can go home now," she said, looking at her.

Zander grinned as he looked at her, "Home?"

Suddenly, as the dimension diminished, the two of them landed on the ground, seeing Courtney and Chokazard with them.

"Get that potion, Chokazard!"

As Chokazard went to ignite flames from its nose, he went to strike with its tail. As the woman screamed, Zander stepped in front of her and grabbed the tail. The woman looked up as Zander was cringing, sweat boiling from the heat as he tried to block the attack. The creature then released flames from its tail, causing Zander to fall backwards. He looked at the creature as Courtney looked at him.

"You are such a ladies man…," she said, "And I want my potion!"

"Your potion?" asked Zander, laughing, "No offense, I don't want you living forever."

Courtney stood there as Zander continued, "Then again, nobody lives forever, so why I should I hand it over, Courtney? Why should she hand it over? I won't allow it!"

He then took out his Scope Shot and Relic Blaster. Pulling the trigger, Courtney and Chokazard were hit by blinding lights as Zander grabbed the woman and the Scope Shot, pulling the trigger. Climbing up the chamber, they looked over as they were surrounded by Magma Grunts. Grabbing on his Hunter Harley, he looked at her. As she sat behind him, hugging him tight, Zander dashed through, shooting down the Magma Grunts. Tabitha and Maxie turned around as he ran over Tabitha. Tabitha screamed as he landed on the ground. As Maxie stepped forward with Chokazard and Courtney behind him, the other rangers arrived.

"Why?" asked the woman, "Why did you protect me?"

Zander grinned, "Something connected with that artifact. There's something about you that's different. Also, I would never let Team Magma steal something so precious… like you."

She grinned as she looked at him, turning to Maxie.

"You rangers won't escape with her. I want that potion!" he shouted.

"Dream on, Maxie…," said Seb.

Zander turned around, noticing Urara driving around. Zander grabbed the woman by the hand and placed her in the car.

"Take her to safety," said Zander.

"You got it," said Urara, winking as they drove off. As Team Magma turned to notice the car, Zander and the others dashed toward the group. Maxie and the others looked at each other as the rangers took out their morphers. Chokazard released flames from its mouth.

"Start Up!"

Transforming into their suits, the five rangers were hit by energies beyond belief. As they landed on the ground, Zander stretched out his arms, "Hunter Armor, engage!"

Immediately, a blue aura surrounded Zander as the armor plating arrived in his left hand. Placing the plate on his chest, Zander stretched his arms out as the plate connected to him. Silver armor connected to the back of his body. Black and white stripes surrounded his shoulder pads as black and white gloves appeared.

"Relic Crusher!" shouted Zander.

Raising his hand, a golden blaster appeared in Zander's left hand. It was a silver and black blaster with ruby stripes. It had a mixer like head on one side and a golden drill head on the other. As Zander grabbed it by the handle, the other rangers stood behind her. Zander aimed her weapon directly at Chokazard.

"Bulldoze Combination Crush!"

Pressing the trigger, a red energy beam shot out, transforming the energy beam into a drill. As the beam transformed, it pierced straight through his body. Chokazard screamed as he landed on the ground, exploding into pieces.

Courtney laughed as he turned around, "Oh, you aren't done yet."

She took out a red and black arrow and placed it in her crossbow. Aiming at the corpse, she pulled the trigger as the arrow shot the corpse. Immediately, a black and red aura surrounded the body as he grew ten times bigger. The corpse turned into a blob of magma. As it hardened, Chokazard exploded out of the ashes, screaming.

Zander turned around as he reached for his Relic Detector, "Relic Hunter Zords, launch!"

Turning to their left, the Relic Hunter Zords started dashing toward the battlefield. In a flash of white light, the rangers picked up their Relic Drivers. Holding on to them, Zander and the others hopped into their zords. As Zander got into the Swampert Zord, he placed the Relic Driver into the cockpit.

"Relic Hunter Zord 3, ready!"

The Swampert Zord started marching toward the creature. As Chokazard threw a straight punch, the Swampert used its tail and smacked it across. Chokazard threw an uppercut. However, the Swampert Zord headbutted the creature. Chokazard landed on the ground as he looked at the zord.

"Muddy Water!"

Water emerged from his palms, as mud formed, Chokazard was hit heavily with muddy water, all over his body.

"Adventure Fusion!" shouted Zander.

He pressed the first five numbers of the morpher and then spun the dial. Immediately, the systems began to haywire as he saw what was going on. The Houndoom and the Manectric got on all fours. The legs began to shrink as they turned into wheels. Leaving the heads where they were, their bodies lifted 90 degrees. The Blaziken Zord jumped up into the air as it landed on top of the zord legs. A red and golden charge surrounded the zords as they combined. The Swampert Zord divided in half. The Swampert's head and chest popped out as the body split in half, connecting to either side of Blaziken. The chest connected to the front of the Blaziken with the head covering the Blaziken. Last, the Gallade Zord flipped up as it put its legs together and spread its arms wide. Connecting to the back, Gallade Zord's arms wrapped around the chest. Golden eyes appeared on the helmet as the Megazord formed.

"Relic Hunter Megazord, Assembly Complete!"

Immediately, Chokazard's emotions were through the roof. Charging in, the creature pummeled the Megazord in multiple punches. However as it stumbled, Chokazard used its tail, smacking the Megazord backwards. As the creature turned around, an orange glow surrounded its fists as it grabbed the Relic Hunter Megazord. The Relic Hunter Megazord was then tossed around as it landed on the ground. Sparks flew in the cockpit and exterior.

"He packs a punch!" shouted Lamar.

"Armor is at 5 percent. We can't survive another hit," said Grace.

Rachel turned around, "Well, suggestions?"

Zander turned around as he looked at his screen and that at the main screen. He put up a green screen where he saw a crack in its chest.

"It looks like I made a crack in the chest," said Zander, "I have an idea…"

"What are you planning?" asked Seb.

"Isn't it obvious. All Auxiliary Zords, launch!" shouted Zander.

Pressing 6, 7, 8 and 9 on the Relic Detector, he spun the wheel. Immediately, the other zords arrived. The Heracross, Beedrill, Gyarados and Abomasnow Zords arrived. Zander turned around as he looked at the others, "If we can combine and aim for that crack, we can get rid of that beast."

"Good call…," said Seb, "Super Adventure Fusion!"

Super Adventure Formation!

The Abomasnow Zord's head projected off from its body. The Abomasnow Zord split in half as the bottom half flipped up ninety degrees. The Abomasnow Zord's body connected to the armor of the Relic Hunter Megazord's legs. The Beedrill Zord folded its arms as it connected to the right arm of the Megazord, with the stinger facing the opponent. The Gyarados Zord split in half and covered the left arm of the Megazord. The bottom half and the top half snapped together on the left arm. The Heracross Zord snapped to the back of the Megazord with the horn detached. The Abomasnow's head opened as it connected to the head of the Relic Hunter Megazord.

"Super Relic Hunter Megazord, assembly complete!"

"Target for the crack in his chest," said Zander.

As flames were released, the Super Relic Hunter Megazord wasn't phased by the attack. Looking at the scanner, red crosshairs surrounded the crack on its chest.

"Alright!" said Rachel, "Target locked."

"Charge it!" shouted Zander.

Immediately, the zords began to glow in their ranger color as well as the auxiliary zords.

"Super Relic Hunter Megazord, Double Devastation!"

The horn of the Heracross Zord materialized into the Gyarados's mouth. The Beedrill began to glow orange as the drill began to spin. Aiming for the Chokazard, a purple aura surrounded the Heracross Zord as it was released. The horn pierced right through with blue and white energy coming out of it. As the beam pierced through, the Super Relic Hunter Megazord drilled straight through with the stinger. As the Super Relic Hunter Megazord landed on the ground, Chokazard split in half as its corpse fell into the magma chamber, creating an explosion.

"Yeah!" shouted the rangers.

Maxie grumbled as he turned around, looking at Tabitha and Courtney, "Let's head home."

The three of them turned around as they headed down to Jagged Pass, as quickly as possible, watching as the Super Relic Hunter Megazord stood above the whole Hoenn Region.


Later that evening…

The sun was setting on the side of Mt. Chimney. The rangers met up with Urara and the woman, who was sitting in the car. As she got out, she grinned as she looked at the rangers.

"Thank you for saving me…" she said, "Your efforts were great."

Zander grinned as he looked at her. She grinned as she reached out for the poiton. Immediately, she gave it to Zander. Zander looked at her, "Me?"

"Well… I don't want Team Magma to have it. You would be better suited," she said.

Zander grinned as he looked at her, "Well, thank you."

He took out a golden disk and placed it over the potion. The potion was concealed in a black and golden box. Picking it up, he looked up as she turned to him. He looked up as she stood closer. As she kissed him straight on the lips, the rangers looked at him in surprise as he released the kiss. She grinned as she looked at him. A green aura surrounded her as she transformed. The rangers watched as she wore a beautiful green dress with golden gauntlets on her hands. She also had an emerald staff as she looked at them. She also had a golden headband.

"You…" said Zander.

"You wanted to know my name. I was the woman who sent you the note. My name is Princess Serena… and I hope we see each other again," she said, smiling.

In a flash of green light, she disappeared. Zander stood there in surprise as he looked at the box and then at the sunset. The other rangers were in shock as he looked at them. Seb stood there in surprise as he reached over. Zander grinned as he looked at them.

"… Wow," said Zander.

"Wow…," Grace responded, "Look at you… I am so proud of you."

Zander grinned as he placed the box in Urara's car. As he walked over toward his Hunter Harley, he looked over and grabbed his helmet, "I have only thing to say. I don't kiss and tell…"

"OH COME ON!"

Zander laughed as he looked at them, "Last one down the mountain has to clean the Hunter Zords…"

Urara laughed as she looked at them, "You are so on…"

The rangers hopped on their Hunter Harleys and headed straight down the mountain.
