A/N: Here is Chapter 33. I hope you enjoy!


Rachel blew her whistle that she decided to get around her neck as her six Pokémon were starting to train.

"Do NOT even think about stopping!" she shouted, "Push!"

Watching Rachel's Pelipper fly over releasing Water Pulses from his mouth, Rachel watched as the targets were obliterated one by one. Torch and Flare jumped up as they released flamethrowers, causing a few logs to be burnt to a crisp. Absol and Manectric charged through, increasing speed. As they did, her Sandslash jumped up and burrowed a hole, attacking by surprise. The three of them started to spar in the field as she was looking at how things were going. She then turned around as she looked at her other Pokédex, "Hopefully, Skarmory is training in the lab… going to need it."

As the battles continued on, Cedric and Grace were not having the best of times as they argued on the island they were at.

"I am not going to be in charge of carrying this," said Cedric, "No way."

"Cedric, it's not a point of carrying the sleeping bags because its too heavy. I just need your help. Is that a crime?" asked Grace.

"… Grace, this is annoying. You just told me to do it! I wonder how Seb puts up with you," he said, grumbling. He turned around as Lamar was finding logs to create a fire, who overheard his comment. He dropped the logs as he looked at Cedric.

"Grace is not like Reshimé. You see, Grace always has a plan. Even though sometimes she enjoys winging it, she is so structured," said Cedric.

"Yeah, its true," said Zander, "Grace is structured just like how she operates her turntables."

Grace grinned as she turned around, "Thank you guys! It's so nice to know that you appreciate women who have a plan… unlike some people."

Cedric laughed, "I didn't say I didn't appreciate you."

"Well, every woman has their method to their madness. You just got to get to used it and stop being so… toxic," she said.

"Toxic?" asked Cedric, in shock as he looked at Grace. Immediately, a white flash appeared behind him as he felt a flame appear. Looking around, he noticed Reshimé walking over toward him. He grinned as he walked over, but Reshimé glared at him, smacking him across the face, "What the-?"

"You need help," said Reshimé, "So toxic at times."

"Thanks, dear," said Cedric, "Unlike her, at least I get to tell you-."

"Honey, you have been on Earth for so long, you never even check in to see how I'm doing with little magic you have left," said Reshimé.

Grace, Zander and Lamar looked at each other as they turned to Cedric. Cedric turned around as Zander started laughing nonstop. Lamar started chuckling as he looked at him and Grace looked at Reshimé as she walked away.

"What?" asked Cedric.

"You got burned so bad… she was blatantly honest," said Lamar, laughing, "Good luck."

"Anyway… I needed to ask you a question about something," said Reshimé, looking at him, "Something important."

"Okay," said Cedric, looking over as Grace shook her head. Cedric glared at her as he took Reshimé by the hand and walked to a different location.


Meanwhile…

Justen and Celia were examining the five golden eggs that were given by Archie. Nick was amazed as he was watching Brent connect the eggs to their five morphers on the belt. Chloe turned around as she was looking at the sea breeze.

"So… these eggs can give us more power?" asked Chloe.

"Yes," said Justen, looking over as he had his magnifying glasses strapped around his head, "Based off of what Archie said a few days ago when his ultimate monster was unleashed."

"Yeah… and now with the rangers wielding Ancient Hoenn relics, we can not back down either," said Nick, turning to Brent, "How much longer?"

"You will have to give me an hour to extract," said Brent, "But, this would be the perfect time to find The Flames of Entei, which exists on the island."

"Oh yes," said Chloe, grinning as she turned around looking at them, "Isn't there an artifact on this island?"

"Yep… that's why we are here," said Justen, "The rangers are who knows where… the islands are all over the place, so its easy pickings."

Chloe grinned as she turned around. She walked over as she hopped down to the center of the island, which had a black device with green and red buttons. She turned around as she looked at them, "Just in case…"

Pressing the green button, a silver spear popped out of the device. A blue and purple energy beam pierced through the sky as a blue barrier surrounded their location. She grinned as she turned to the others, "Now, we won't be interrupted!"

Chapter 33: The Flames of Entei


"Ah…," said Grace, looking at Lamar as he was setting the fire, "Did you get the stuff?"

"You mean the meat packaging before we left Sootopolis?" asked Lamar, grabbing the packages with both hands.

"Sweet," said Grace, turning around. She noticed Seb and Urara were walking down the path, cooling down from their run as he looked up at Grace. Seb was wearing a grey t-shirt with red gym shorts and sneakers with a black towel around his neck. Urara was wearing a pink t-shirt with green shorts and a black sweatband. Dashing over, he walked over and kissed her on the lips, "Hey, honey."

"Hey, dear… how's my hot girlfriend doing with lunch?" he asked.

"Working on it," she said, grinning as she turned around, "Just waiting for your cousin."

"Oh yeah, Cedric told me you and him had a wonderful time," said Seb, sighing, "He and I have always been night and day when it comes to interactions."

"I know," said Grace, turning around as she noticed Cedric with a bucket of water. As he grinned, he accidentally tripped over the tree branch. The bucket flew across as it hit Seb in the face. Seb landed on the ground as the water poured out. Seb was officially drenched as he looked at Cedric.

"Sorry, Seb," he said.

"Are you okay?" asked Seb, spitting out the water, "Cedric, did you get fresh water or ocean water?"

"I thought it was fresh. I got it from an estuary," said Cedric.

Grace turned around as she looked at him, "So now my boyfriend smells like a Feebas. Great."

"At least he won't smell like a ball of sweat," said Cedric, walking toward Grace. Grace looked at him as she stepped forward. As the two glared at each other, the sound of their Relic Detectors started to activate. Grace pointed to him as he looked at her, "You are very lucky, I didn't morph to take you down."

"Oh, Gracie… you don't want to mess with a bounty hunter," said Cedric, looking at his morpher, "What's up?"

"If you are done arguing," said Max, "I have a mission for the seven of you."

"Let me guess, another artifact is close by," said Seb.

"You bet," said Max over the intercom, "You guys are actually on an island called Pacific Island. It's a huge island uninhabited by people, but there is an artifact that could be useful in finding the next jewel. The Flames of Entei."

"The Flames of Entei?" asked Lamar.

He turned around as he looked at Rachel. Rachel looked over as Lamar was waving her to come over. As Rachel dashed over, the seven of them were listening in on Cedric's morpher.

"The Flames of Entei was from Entei a thousand years ago. He created a torch that once ignited a whole army that tried to invade Johto. Somehow, the torch managed to come to Hoenn. Once anyone sets flame to it, it does not extinguish. It burned down a whole entire island years ago when there was a volcanic disruption, but no one knew the cause until archaeologists learned that the fire was not ordinary. Rangers, this artifact is volatile to our cause. If the others find it, we are doomed."

"So, the Flames of Entei are on this island?" asked Urara, "Where?"

"Supposedly dead center," he said.

"Funny… we did see something happen while we were on our run. Luckily we were running along the outside and not center," said Urara, "Guess we should check it out."

"Good luck," said Max, "Let me know if you need anything."

As the communications turned off, Seb turned around as he looked at Rachel, "Recall your Pokémon, we got a mission."

"Understood," said Rachel, agreeing with Seb.


A few hours later…

The rangers were walking in the middle of the woods. The palm trees were hanging high as the seven continued to move toward the middle of the island. As they were walking around, they noticed a few Wingull screaming as they were flying backwards. Lamar looked up as they continued walking, paying attention to what he saw.

"I wonder why they were- OW!" he shouted. The rangers stopped walking as they noticed Lamar was faceplanted against a blue barrier. The barrier pushed him back as he landed on the ground. Lamar rolled his eyes as his head hit the dirt. Rachel went to help him as Lamar went to get up from the ground, "Thanks, babe."

"Interesting barrier," said Rachel, "Let's try this…"

Rachel took out her Relic Detector. As she pressed a button, a yellow aura surrounded her hand as the Relic Blaster appeared. She aimed for the barrier, pulling the trigger. A yellow beam shot out as it hit the barrier. The barrier absorbed the energy and aimed the energy back. Explosions surrounded the team as they landed on the ground.

"That's a strong barrier!" Seb said.

Grace nodded as she turned around, looking at her Relic Detector. As she opened it, she went to contact Ranger HQ, "Jack, Max… this is Grace."

"Yup… we are seeing it too," said Jack, "The source of that is coming from the center of Pacific Island. No weapon or even a Pokémon attack can break through."

"I'm guessing it isn't part of the artifact hunt," said Grace, "If you get what I mean."

"You mean, if you think you are booby-trapped, no… this is modernized technology," said Jack.

Grace turned around as she looked at Cedric. Cedric shook his head as he looked over and Grace nodded as she turned around, "Stand by."

Cedric looked at her and the others, "There's only one way to break through… but I can only bring one person."

"What is it?" asked Seb.

"The Shadow Spell…," he said, "It will weaken me for a while… but it will get me into the barrier. At least, with one other person, we can get the artifact."

"I don't like that idea," said Urara, turning to Cedric, "Anything can happen beyond that barrier."

"Sadly, I can't bring you all with me. If I do… I will perish," said Cedric.

"Let me guess… it's whatever you were bonded with," said Rachel, looking at him. Cedric nodded, "Precisely. I still have some of my Incinizard DNA and Darkrai bonding. If I take all of you, it will be too much to bear…"

"So, who do you choose?" asked Seb.

Cedric turned around as Grace looked at him. Grace shook her head, "No way."

Cedric grabbed Grace's wrist. As Grace winced in pain, a black aura surrounded Cedric as a dark insignia appeared on her wrist. Grace looked up as Cedric closed his eyes. A black aura surrounded both of them as Grace started shuddering.

"Mysto Magi Barikus!"

Lightning struck as the two of them began to teleport. Before Grace could say anything, they immediately were on the other side of the barrier. Grace landed on the dirt as Cedric winced in pain. He groaned as he started to carefully get up. Grace held him as they continued to walk toward the trees. As Seb watched, Urara turned around as she looked at him.

"I recommend we find another way to bust through that barrier," said Urara.

"How? The Relic Crusher?" asked Seb.

"I was thinking, Seb…" said Urara.

Seb looked up as he turned to her, "Will that work?"

"I don't know," said Urara, "It's worth a try."

Lamar turned around as he looked at them, "You aren't thinking of using both Ancient Weapons to knock this barrier down."

"Well, Lamar… do you have any other options?" asked Zander, "I agree with Urara, we need to knock that barrier down."


Meanwhile…

Chloe was sitting down as she was looking at the rest of the group. Nick and Brent were fixing their new weapons behind them as she was looking at the device. She then turned around as she heard a beeping noise from her pocket. Picking up the device, she noticed a red blip.

"Hey… we got intruders," said Chloe.

"We do?" asked Brent, "Who broke through our barrier?"

Nick turned around as he looked at them. Chloe pressed a button as he looked at the screen. He noticed Grace and Cedric walking through the woods.

"Cedric must've been stupid enough to bust through," said Nick, "I'll go!"

"No! Work on those weapons. Those were Justen's orders," said Chloe.

"I am leader of the team!" shouted Nick.

"And he is a technical expert… do you want that artifact? Do you want them gone?" asked Chloe.

Brent turned around as he looked at her, "And how are you going to fight? I still have to upload your weapon into the system."

"I'll fight with what I have. My morpher," said Chloe, stretching her hand out, "Please."


Later that day…

Grace and Cedric just finished climbing a mountain. Grace sat on her butt as Cedric was crawling to sit. He looked up as he put his back on the ground, "I was dumb enough to send you with me. Should've done it alone."

"Why?' asked Grace, looking at Cedric, "So you can get killed too?"

"What does it matter to you?" asked Cedric, turning to her, "I only picked you because I needed someone to keep my head straight."

"More like you selected me so that way you didn't have to deal with Nick," she said.

Cedric went absolutely silent as he saw the pink ranger stand up with her arms folded across her chest, "Don't have to lie to me, Cedric. I knew who was behind the barrier."

"Yes, I have a feeling the Ranger Slayers were involved," he said.

Grace turned around as she looked, "You expected me to go get the artifact while you dealt with them."

The pink ranger walked forward as she grabbed Cedric by the collared shirt. Cedric went to retaliate but Grace grabbed his fist, "This isn't just a mission for you. This is a personal vendetta."

"You have no idea what they are capable of," said Cedric.

"Actually, I've seen a lot," said Grace, "It doesn't surprise me anymore."

Grace let him go as she turned around. Cedric went to say something before she went to talk, "I get they upset you. I get that they have done dangerous things. But, if this was your plan, you didn't think fully."

Cedric turned around, "And why didn't you think I did?"

Grace looked at him, "Your feelings tell it. You see, in your shoes, while I went to grab the artifact, you could've found the source of the barrier and destroy it."

"… Oh," said Cedric, looking at her. Grace looked at him, "But, we aren't out of the woods yet. Our best bet right now, find the barrier device and then search as a team."

"Yeah… I am going to have to stop you there," a voice said.

Grace turned around as she noticed Chloe grinning as she had her arms crossed. She walked toward her as Grace went to back Cedric up.

"Ah, protecting your friend that used all of his energy to come here," said Chloe, "Good luck getting to the barrier."

"So… if you are here, where's the rest?" asked Grace.

"Doing the same thing you were going to do," said Chloe, taking out her morpher, "However, I can't let you go."

"What do you mean?" asked Cedric.

"Simple. This barrier is here until the Flames of Entei are found. No one is allowed in… or out," she said, "Which means…"

"We have to defeat you to get out," said Grace.

"Good thinking!" said Chloe, grinning as she stretched out her Slayer Morpher, "Slayer Power, Unleash!"

A pink and purple aura surrounded her as she transformed into her suit. Immediately, her weapon arrived. It was the same bow except it was dark purple with pink stripes on each side. She also had three spots to place arrows. She grinned as she looked at them, "What do you think?"

"That bow…," said Grace.

"You can thank Archie and the Golden Eggs!" she shouted, releasing three purple arrows. As the arrows shot across, Grace and Cedric yelled as the explosions surrounded them. Cedric cringed as he tried to get up. Grace tried to get up as Chloe grinned, laughing, "Oh, this is going to be perfect."

"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

A pink aura surrounded Grace as she went to drop kick Chloe. Chloe used a shoulder roll to dodge. As Chloe went to strike, Grace blocked the attack as she took out her Relic Blaster. Shooting her armor, Chloe was hit as she landed on the ground. Grace then took out her Psychic Cutters, "Now, face this!"

As she went to strike with psychic energy, yellow beams shot out as Grace was hit. Grace landed on the ground as Cedric looked up. Celia arrived in her suit. However, her weapon was also modified. Her yellow and black Pin Needler had a line of green pins that strapped around her neck as well as a green cannon with multiple pins. Grace looked up as Celia walked forward.

"Oh my…," said Grace.

"Do you like our new weaponry?" asked Celia, "I love it!"

Cedric looked at her, "Grace, we got to run!"

"I know…," said Grace, "But, not in your condition!"

"Take this!" shouted Celia.

Immediately, green pins shot out of her Pin Needler as it headed straight toward Grace. Grace blocked them with her Psychic Cutters as she created a pink cyclone. As she was doing that, Celia pressed a green button on her cannon. The multiple pins deflected and landed on the ground. Cedric turned around as he noticed them starting to glow. Cedric quickly got his Detector Morpher, "Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

As a silver glow surrounded Cedric, an explosion surrounded Grace and Cedric. Celia laughs as both of them flew off the cliff.

"Hahahahaha!" shouted Celia, "Justen almost found it!"

"Good," said Chloe, "We should probably go make sure we can still use these weapons and then hunt them down. They might go after that device."

Celia laughed, "Oh… I'll handle them. You go check on the modifications."

Meanwhile…

"Did you hear that explosion?" asked Lamar, looking up.

Seb nodded as he took out the Sentinel Sword, "Yup… I don't like it. Stand back!"

As the Sentinel Knight transformed, he turned around as he looked at Seb. Seb nodded as he took out his morpher, "Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

A red aura surrounded his morpher as he transformed, "Hoenn Armor Battlizer!"

A golden aura surrounded Seb as he began to lift up from the ground. A red aura surrounded him as the Sentinel Knight released a golden knight armor. Seb was covered, wearing a golden chest plate, shoulder pads, knee pads and boots. He also wore a Dragonite helmet as he stretched out his arm. His arms were covered in ruby gauntlets with blue designs. He also had a sapphire trident that he was able to hold. Finally, the Sentinel Sword turned into an Emerald Saber with golden designs. Landing on the ground, green and white lightning surrounded him.

"Sentinel Sword, Delta… Draco… Strike!"

Creating a green full moon circle with the saber, Seb struck down. Draconic energy pierced through the barrier. As the barrier energy absorbed it, Seb tried to increase power. Within seconds, a mega shockwave appeared as the rangers were hit. The trees were cut in half and explosions surrounded them, Seb began to glow in a red aura as he and the Sentinel Knight split.

"Damn!" shouted Seb, "Still didn't work."

Rachel turned around as she looked at them, "Now I am getting very worried."


Meanwhile…

Grace was on the ground, face planted on the grass. Cedric walked over as he knelt down over her. He slapped her face lightly to wake her up. Grace shook as she opened her eyes. As soon as she recognized Cedric, she tried to get up, but Cedric held her, "Easy…"

"Easy for you to say," said Grace, "What happened?"

"Celia has a rocket launcher. She blew up your barrier," said Cedric.

Grace turned around as she noticed Cedric had some bloody cuts to his arms and legs. He also had some burns, "You are in a more worse position than I am."

"I know," said Cedric, kneeling down, "Everything hurts. But, that explosion came out of nowhere. I couldn't finish the transformation process in time. I just got my helmet on when it went off."

"So, your armor wasn't intact," said Grace, getting up as Cedric lay down, "Where are you going?"

"There's got to be herbs… you can't walk around with those injuries," said Grace.

"But, I can use…," he said.

Grace turned around as she put her finger to his lips, "Magic can't save you this time. I'm going to get some herbs."

Cedric closed his eyes as he laid down in the bushes. As Grace released her Pokémon, Luxray and Jolteon, to help her out. Within a few minutes, Grace managed to get another green herbs. As the two Pokémon were next to her, Grace found a broken Poké Ball. As she used the bottom half, she crushed the herbs together with her fist. As she then took a rock, she managed to refine the herbs into a soft paste. She then reached for her pocket, finding a cotton swab. She managed to get Cedric's shirt off, seeing the cuts.

"I hope this is enough," she said to herself, looking at the other Pokémon, "Thanks guys."


Ten minutes later…

Cedric opened his eyes as he noticed he was covered in green herbs. Feeling a little better, he walked over as he noticed Grace was sitting down, watching the river. He put his hand on her shoulder as Cedric nodded, "Thanks."

"You should be laying down. Those herbs can't heal when you're up," said Grace, "I wish I had my magic to heal you."

"Well, medicine is medicine," said Cedric, sitting down, "So… let's talk while I rest."

"I shouldn't be though. We have a device to shut down," said Grace.

"I know," said Cedric, holding on to her as she relaxed to sit down, "So Seb told me you were a DJ."

"Yep," said Grace, looking at him, "It was a good time. My family needed help and with Zander being around, traveling, I figured I would help the family by being a DJ. I was the top DJ in Sinnoh, Johto and even Kanto. I was on my way to Hoenn until all of this happened."

"I see…," said Cedric, looking at her, "Do you think you are going to continue?"

"I hope so…," said Grace, "But, with Seb in my life, its going to be hard. The DJ life is hard because you roam a lot. You never get a chance to stop and settle down. It's always a go-go-go environment. High stress, and if the audience doesn't like your music, good luck getting paid. Luxray and Jolteon would know. I'm surprised Seb stuck with me this long. But, he knows my goals and enjoys what I do."

"Well… maybe now's a chance for you to relax," said Cedric. Grace looked at him, "Cedric,-."

"Seriously," said Cedric, "I am speaking to you as a friend. If you are telling me about personal vendettas, then you need to stop being so high-strung."

Grace was silent as Cedric continued, "It's okay to stop and smell the roses."

Grace looked down as she looked at the grass, "I guess Seb was right about things. Sometimes, I do get a little bit carried away."

Cedric raised an eyebrow, "But, if we don't see that, we can't grow and learn from our mistakes."

Grace grinned as she carefully got up. Stretching her hand, Cedric held on as he got up from the ground. He noticed his grey t-shirt on the ground as he went to pick it up. Placing it over his shirt, he walked over toward her, "Shall we go find that device?"

"Let's do it," said Grace, grinning.


Meanwhile…

Celia was walking around the area as she was scanning. She had her Pin Needler in hand as she was looking at the woods. She turned around as she sighed, "Chloe, can you see them where you are?"

"Negative," said Chloe on the intercom, "Nick and Brent said our weapons are ready to go."

"Good," said Celia, looking at them, "Where's Justen?"

"That's a very good question," said Chloe.

Suddenly, they heard something pop as Justen's voice was heard, "I heard my name?"

"Yes," said Chloe, "Do you have the Flames of Entei?"

"Yes… Nick told me to be quick. Apparently, we got some intruders?" asked Justen on the intercom.

Celia nodded as she looked around the area, "Yep. Grace and Cedric are hidden somewhere. They got through the barrier."

"That doesn't surprise me," said Justen, coughing as he was working, "Celia, find them and kill them… BEFORE they find the barrier device."

"Understood," said Celia, looking at the intercom.

She turned around as she was looking overhead, as she saw the bushes rustling, Celia knelt down as she looked at the last edge of the bushes. Immediately, she saw Grace and Cedric running in the fields. Cedric turned around as he saw the blue tower.

"That's it," said Cedric.

Celia laughed as she aimed at them. Pulling the trigger, a slew of needles emerged out, shooting the field. Explosions surrounded them as Grace and Cedric landed on the ground. Cedric looked up as he noticed Celia with her other cannon. Releasing a few green needles, they appeared right in front of them. Cedric grabbed Grace as they dashed toward the tower. Explosions surrounded them as they landed on the ground. As Cedric rolled around, Chloe arrived as she went to strike. Cedric dodged the attack as Grace turned around to face Celia. Celia threw a punch at Grace as she blocked it. Grace then threw another punch at her face. She slammed her head into the tower and then kicked her. As Grace went over, Cedric was smacked in the face with the bow. Chloe went to strike, only for Grace to give a sidekick and a spinning hook kick. Chloe spun and landed on the ground. As she landed on the ground, Chloe released a few arrows. Grace dodged two out of the tree, hitting one in the arm. Grace screamed as the arrow caught her right arm. Immediately, Chloe went to stab her, only for Grace to block it and throw her down. Grace turned around as she kicked her three times. Chloe flew back as she landed on the ground. Cedric turned around as he looked at her, "Destroy the device."

"But, Cedric," said Grace, "We need to-."

"Don't worry about me," said Cedric, turning around, "Do it!"

Celia and Chloe turned around as they went to strike their weapons. Cedric revealed his Meta Tector as he went to strike. Silver beams struck out as Celia and Chloe missed the attack. As they went to dodge, Grace turned around as she went for her Relic Blaster adding her Scope Shot. Aiming for the tower, Grace pulled the trigger. Pink beams shot out as the tower exploded. Immediately, the barrier began to shatter around them. As Grace went to land, she turned around as Cedric fell. Grace watched as Celia released a ton of needles from her Pin Needler. Cedric fell to his knees and landed on the ground. Grace dashed over slowly as she walked over toward him.

"Cedric… Cedric!" shouted Grace.

Cedric looked at Grace, seeing the green needles in his stomach. Blood was coming out as he looked at her, "Grace… avenge me… please," he said.

Grace looked over as she turned around. Celia laughed as she looked at Chloe. Chloe laughed hysterically as she looked at Celia, "We killed a ranger! This is the best thing ever!"

Grace looked over as they continued laughing. Looking up, she clenched her fists as they continued laughing more. Immediately, Grace took her hand and slapped Chloe in the face and then threw a punch at Celia in the stomach and then another punch at her face. Celia landed on the ground as Chloe turned around.

"Celia… you are going to pay for what you've done!" shouted Grace. She grabbed the arrow in her arm and ripped it out. Breaking it in half with her knee, she screamed. Her voice was echoed throughout as tons of wild Pokémon started flapping away. Grace immediately took out her Relic Detector as she went to place it on her left shoulder, "Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

A flash of pink light surrounded her as she transformed into her suit. Chloe went to strike, but Celia turned her head, "Don't worry, I got this!"

A flash of yellow light surrounded her as she transformed into her suit. Both rangers stood across from each other. As the wind began to trigger, Celia dashed forward as she went to use her Pin Needler. Using the weapon, she released a few needles as Grace used her Psychic Cutters to deflect. As Celia went to lunge, Grace flipped over as she cut Celia in the back with her cutters. Celia went to strike again, only for Grace to use a shoulder roll. Grace slashed Celia multiple times as Grace threw her down.

"You may have new weapons… but you don't know who I am," said Grace. Stretching her arms, a yellow aura surrounded her as a Zapdos appeared behind her. Celia laughed as she looked at her. A lime aura surrounded her Pin Needler as she went to strike, "Take this!"

Thousands of rounds shot out as an electric barrier surrounded Grace, the needles fell on the ground as Celia stood there, "Uh oh."

While that was going on, Seb and the others dashed over as they were watching the whole battle. Grace's Psychic Cutters began to charge as a yellow aura surrounded them.

"Psycho Thunder!"

Combining her Psychic Cutters, a psychic energy struck out as lighting emerged from her body. Celia screamed as electric energy hit with psychic energy. Explosions surrounded Celia as she landed on the ground. A yellow aura surrounded her as she transformed out.

"Celia!" shouted Chloe.

Seb turned around as he looked at the rangers, "Grace, are you okay?"

Grace went to hug Seb tightly. Seb looked around as he turned to Cedric, "Oh my…"

"Celia did it…," said Grace, looking at Seb, "She did this to him."

Seb looked up as Chloe stumbled, "They were in the way… so are you… but its too late now."

"What makes you say that? You killed my cousin!" shouted Seb.

Suddenly, an earthquake began to form as the mountain exploded. Seb turned around as he noticed a humanoid robot that was shaped like an Entei. The head of Entei placed in the center with a red and black human head.

"Meet my Enteibot!" shouted Justen, with Nick and Brent in the front. Justen grinned as he also looked inside. He opened the gate, seeing a black cauldron with Entei's face on it. Flames ignited as red and blue energy surrounded it, "With the Flames of Entei, you are all doomed! Chloe, Celia!"

Chloe picked up Celia as they jumped up. A pink and yellow aura surrounded them as they arrived in the cockpit.

"Urara, take care of Cedric," said Seb.

"But… I would like to fight," said Urara.

"I know," said Seb, "But, in his condition. I hope he can come out alive."

Urara sighed as she turned to him, "Call me if you need me. Sentinel Knight!"

A flash of golden energy appeared out of Seb's belt as the Sentinel Sword appeared. In a flash of, Sentinel Knight turned around as he looked at Urara, "Yes?"

"I can't combine with you… but fight in my place?"

"Yes," said Sentinel Knight.

Immediately, Urara carried Cedric away from the battle. Seb and the others stood together as they took their morphers, "Let's do it!"

"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

Transforming, the four rangers materialized into their suits. Seb grabbed his Relic Detector, "Relic Hunter Zords, all zords dispatch!"

Immediately, all ten zords arrived to battle. The Relic Drivers dropped off from the zords as the rangers grabbed them. As the group landed in their zords, Seb placed the Relic Driver in the cockpit.

"Ultimate Adventure Fusion!"

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. 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 detached as it connected to the left arm of the Megazord.

The Aerodactyl flew across as its head detached, forming the helmet of the Megazord. The body connected to the back of the Relic Hunter Megazord with the tail detached. The tail connected to the right arm of the Megazord, forming the saber. The cockpits appeared in the same location as the rangers were looking around.

"Relic Hunter Ultrazord… Assembly Complete!"

Immediately, the Enteibot began to charge as Justen started grinning. The cockpit began to glow bright red as he looked at them.

"Shall we?" asked Justen, "Full power!"

"Right!" shouted the slayers, "Enteibot! Eruption!"

Unleashing a red and black ball from Entei's mouth, it transformed into a ruby beam with flames around it. The Relic Hunter Ultrazord was damaged heavily as blue electric beams surrounded it. The cockpit started flashing as the rangers held on. As the Relic Hunter Ultrazord fell down on the dirt, Zander began to analyze the robot.

"The Flames of Entei has enhanced their weaponry by 100 percent," he said, "We will be lucky if we can even use our finisher."

"We will make it work," said Grace.

"But-," said Zander.

"WE WILL MAKE IT WORK!" shouted Grace, turning to Zander, looking at her, "Sentinel Knight!"

Immediately, the Sentinel Knight began to glow in a golden aura as it transformed into mega size. The Sentinel Knight nodded as Grace turned to the console.

"Do it!" shouted Grace, "Dragon Mode!"

A golden aura surrounded him as he transformed into a Dragonite with emerald wings. The Ranger Slayers stood there in surprise.

"Ha! That thing can't stop us… target the Sentinel Knight! Lava Plume!"

Immediately, bombs of lava emerged. The wings covered the knight as explosions surrounded him. He appeared unphased.

"Huh?" asked Justen.

"Now!" shouted Grace, "Do it!"

An emerald aura surrounded him as a green aura surrounded him. Nick and Brent looked at each other as Celia and Chloe held on.

"Delta Draco Beam!"

An emerald energy beam shot out as the Entei mouth exploded. Flames exploded as the cockpits broke down. Chloe turned around as a hole appeared by the side. Immediately, Grace got out of her cockpit as she went to jump out of the Megazord, "Scope Shot!"

As she released her Scope Shot, the hook connected to the hole. Grace flew across as she landed in the damaged robot. Justen turned around as Grace kicked all of them. She turned around as she grabbed the Flames of Entei, ripping it from the box. Sparks flew as the Ranger Slayers started spinning around. Justen went to grab her, but Grace kicked him to the ground.

"Do it!" shouted Grace.

"Do what?" asked Justen.

"Sky Attack!"

As a flash of pink light surrounded her, she disappeared before Justen could grab her. Turning around, he watched as the Relic Hunter Ultrazord's finisher pierce straight through the Enteibot. The Enteibot fell on the ground as it exploded into pieces. Grace watched as she stood in the cockpit with the Flames of Entei. Zander turned around as he looked at her, "That was way too risky."

"I know," said Grace, "Guess I got carried away."

"At least that's recovered," said Seb, "Hopefully, Cedric is not presumed dead."

"I worry too," said Grace, "Let's get going."


Later that evening…

Cedric opened his eyes. He noticed a few Chansey over him as he was bandaged all across. He looked up as he turned to Reshimé, who stood over him.

"Honey," said Cedric.

"Cedric…," said Reshimé, sobbing as she held him, "I am so glad you are okay."

"I am fine too," said Cedric, looking over. Seb sat down next to him as he punched him in the arm. Cedric looked at him as the red ranger shook his head, "You were very lucky. Ranger HQ couldn't do anything. We had to take you to the hospital."

"I am in a hospital?" asked Cedric, looking at the devices and the tubes on him. Reshimé nodded, "Sadly, our magic wouldn't work for you."

"Great… Celia did it," said Cedric.

"Yeah," said Seb, looking at him. Rachel nodded, "Celia's weapon poisoned your bloodstream and open wounds. If we waited for another hour, you would have been dead."

"Actually, Grace saved you," said Seb, looking at him.

Cedric looked up as he turned to him, "You have one lucky, amazing girlfriend. Don't mess it up."

Seb laughed as he looked at him, "I know."

"Where is she anyway?" asked Cedric.

"She didn't like hospitals… so, she is at the Pokémon Center," said Zander.

Urara and Lamar nodded as they looked at each other and then at Cedric. Cedric nodded as he looked at all of them, "I am glad that you are my friends. Thank you so much."

While they were all meeting Cedric, Grace sighed as she put her feet on the patio outside of her suite. She looked at her Relic Detector, seeing pictures of Cedric and the others. Cedric then put a message on:

"Wish you were here."

Grace grinned as she went to text back. As she did, she put her headphones in and had a bottle of water. Her text said, "I will see you tomorrow."

JT: Interesting artifact…

Jack: I wonder… is it possible?


A/N: If you have seen "One Fine Day" from Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, then this is it! A Grace/Cedric storyline for all of you. I figured this would be a good chapter to write. It was one of my top favorites. We are going to continue our next chapter on Ancient Hoenn artifacts. I am looking forward to continuing this.
