A/N: Here is Chapter 40! I hope you enjoy! Who knew we would get this far!


Off the coast in Magiland…

Diana was walking toward the coastline as she was walking around the island. She looked at the beautiful aura as the sun was rising. Grinning, she knelt down as she placed her hand in the water. She never seen the water this clean since the Hades Empire took over. She looked up as she saw the Wingull flying across the sky. Her face was gleaming with happiness as she turned around, looking at the sand. She then heard something. She felt something dark approach her as she turned around.

"Why are you here?" she asked.

"Diana, I'm here for you…," he said, "Your magical friends won't save you."

She grinned as she took out her White Mystic Morpher from her pocket, "It depends. I am strong enough to defeat you."


Meanwhile, back on Earth…

The rangers were sitting down as they were looking at the boat that was going from Slateport City to Ever Grande, specifically Zander.

"Who's excited to go to Ever Grande Island?" asked Zander.

"Me!" said Rachel, looking at the blue ranger, "I can't wait to fight advanced trainers and hopefully end up in a good spot in my first ever Pokémon League!"

Seb turned around as he looked at Rachel as they were sitting next to the dock. Many trainers were getting on board as Rachel grinned, noticing the many trainers who were going to the same place as she was. The rangers turned around as Urara was sitting with her laptop, "This ship is supposedly the fastest… so, who knows how quickly we can get to Ever Grande. It's a huge island."

"And we have to go through Victory Road," said Lamar, gulping, "But, Victory Road might have some cool artifacts."

"True," said Zander, looking across. He stopped speaking as he saw a woman walking toward him. She wore a purple t-shirt with black shorts and she had blue shoes. She looked down at Zander as she smiled. Her green eyes were irresistible to Zander as he looked up, "May I help you?"

"Hi, Zander… I wanted to know if I could sit with you," she said.

"Sure? And who are you?" asked Zander.

"Elle," she said, sitting down with him. Urara looked at her as she opened her laptop. Nodding her head, she went to examine some things. Grace looked at her as Urara started scratching her chin. Grace looked over as she sees a blip on the screen. Urara looked at Grace as she turned to Elle, "Well, it's nice to meet you, the name's Urara."

As Urara stretched her hand, Elle shook her hand. Elle grinned as she looked at Urara and then the others. As she was getting introduced, Urara looked up as she pressed Grace on the shoulder. Grace nodded as she got up, "Excuse us… Urara and I need to use the bathroom."

"And what about me?" asked Rachel.

Urara sighed as she gave Rachel the signal. Rachel grinned as she looked at Elle, "It's nothing crazy. Feel free to talk to the guys!"

As Rachel got up, Elle looked at them as Zander noticed Elle snuggling next to his arm. Seb and Lamar looked at Zander, curious as Cedric looked at him.

"Well, who are you staring at? Prince Charming?" asked Zander.

As Urara opened the bathroom door, Grace and Rachel stood next to her as Urara was brushing her hair, "So, Elle… what do we know about her?"

"She knows Zander… why?" asked Rachel.

"Well, I found it suspicious…," said Grace.

"I know I found it suspicious," Urara responded as she was looking in the mirror, looking at Grace, "Let's be real. Zander always finds the craziest girl. Look at Celia and Darcie."

"No... no... no... stop," said Grace, shaking her head as she was putting eye liner on, not trying to visualize Zander's interactions over the course of being a Relic Hunter Ranger, "Besides, what do you think of Elle? Do you think it would work out between the two of them? Granted I just met her like a minute ago."

Urara looked at Rachel and Grace. Grinning, she took a deep breath, "Maybe. But, it wouldn't work anyway."

"Why?" asked Grace.

Urara looked at her morpher. Grace and Rachel looked over her shoulder as they noticed a hazard level reading. Urara looked up as she turned to them, "She's an artifact."

"WHAT?" asked Grace and Rachel.

Chapter 40: The Rainbow Cloth

Back at Team Dracos…

Silva was sharpening his claws as he turned around. Silva closed his eyes as a green aura appeared. Using his hand, he chopped a tower of bricks in two.

"That was impressive!" Jake said, as he looked, "You finally used the egg power?"

"Yep," said Silva, looking at him, "But, I'm not the only one. Darcie has decided to tap into her power. And you will be quite surprised at what she came up with."

"What do you mean?" asked Jake.

Silva stood up as he walked toward Jake. Silva stretched his hands as he looked at them, "You see… Darcie has stolen an artifact the rangers don't know about… yet. She doesn't need the eggs that Archie cloned. So far, it has been a really great asset."

"And she didn't get caught by the police," he said, looking at him, "Proud of her. What do we do?"

"Let her challenge the rangers…," said Silva, looking at Jake, "We don't need to help her right now."


Back on the ship…

The rangers were sitting together with Elle as Elle had a nice conversation. Zander was having a fruity drink, mesmerized by her as Urara sat there, trying to figure out how to break it to Zander that Elle wasn't all who she was.

"So… yeah, it was a beautiful garden. I grew up on the outskirts of Oldale Town and Mauville City," she said, "It was glorious."

"Nice," said Zander, "So, why are you out here then if you aren't back there?"

"What do you mean?" Elle asked, drinking a fruity beverage.

"Well, you don't have any Pokémon," said Zander, turning around as he looked at her, "And you are out by yourself."

Elle grinned as she turned around, "I was hoping we could have a little date on the ship."

Seb, Lamar and Cedric's jaws dropped to the ground. Urara kept her mouth shut as Grace and Rachel looked at each other silently. Zander grinned as he looked at him, "Well, what do you want to do?"

Elle grinned as she got up. Zander grinned as he followed her from the table. As the two of them walked away, Urara took a deep breath as she turned to them, "Well?"

"You found out. You do it," said Rachel.

"Yep," said Grace, "I don't want to hurt Zander's feelings. He's been single for too long."

Seb turned around as he looked at Grace, "What?"

Urara opened up her morpher as she went to Lamar and Cedric. As she pressed a few buttons to retrieve history, Seb and the others looked at each other as they turned to Urara, "Oh…"

"Yeah," said Urara, looking at her morpher.


Meanwhile…

Zander grinned as they were on the top deck. Zander had a putter in his hand as they were playing mini golf on the top course. Elle bent over as she tried to putt the golf ball in the hole. Zander was next as he placed his ball on the starting point. Aiming the putter, he swung it a bit as it headed straight into the hole, landing in it.

"That's so cool!" she shouted.

"Thanks," said Zander.

A few rounds ended and Zander was already skipping a beat. Holding hands, Elle grabbed Zander into a room with a red drape. As they got in, they noticed a camera. Zander pressed a button with coins as they started making fun selfies of each other in a series of photos. The photo stream appeared in the slot as Zander picked it up.

"I know a really good place… Diglett Corner!"

In the arcade section, Zander put money in an arcade game. Elle watched as the Diglett popped up. Zander started whacking a few as it kept going up and down. Elle stared at Zander and then shook it off.

"They aren't real," said Zander, laughing.

As the two continued on their date, Urara sighed as she was watching. Turning around, she went to walk away when she felt something across her back. Urara landed on her knees and fell as a green gust of wind hit the arcade. Zander landed on the ground as people started to scream. Zander looked up, seeing Darcie.

"Hi… you can do better!" she said.

"Darcie," said Zander, "Ruining date night?"

Darcie grinned as she jumped down, "I'm here to challenge you… with my new design!"

She opened her pocket, revealing a rainbow quilt. She covered herself as she transformed in a green aura. She had emerald armor with Altaria wings and a blue helmet. She also carried two sabers, "Dragon Dance!"

Blue and red energy surrounded her as she looked at Zander.

"Elle, get out!"

As a red and blue beam struck, Zander dodged as a blue flash surrounded him, transforming into his ranger suit. Zander jumped out as he fought Darcie with his Hunter Saber. The two went at it. Zander continued his onslaught as Urara opened her eyes, outside. She looked up as she noticed a new creature facing Zander, not knowing it was Darcie.

"What in the-," she said. She turned around as she then saw Elle on the ground. Zander struck with his Hunter Saber, only for Darcie to strike. Darcie threw him across as he broke one of the arcade machines on the ground. Zander then took out his Relic Blaster, piercing the attack. It had no effect. Immediately, Darcie released a green wind of energy with her wings, slashing Zander as he landed on the ground. Zander flew across as explosions surrounded. She then slashed Zander across as his head was thrown to the ground.

"Zander!"

She then turned around to see Elle on the ground. Before Urara could do anything, she quickly went to go help Elle. As Urara went to help her, Elle's fist clenched as a rainbow aura surrounded her. Urara landed on the ground as a Glameow showed up. The Glameow slashed Darcie in the face as Darcie landed on the ground. Darcie turned around as a green aura surrounded her.

"You little…," she said, "You scratched my face… Zander, I'll be back."

A flash of green light surrounded her as she disappeared. Urara walked over as a flash of blue light surrounded Zander, transforming out of his suit. Zander had blood dripping from his forehead as he stumbled on Urara. Urara looked at him, seeing the bruises.

"You okay?" asked Urara.

"I don't think I'm fine," said Zander, looking at the Glameow, "Where's Elle?"

Urara sighed as she looked at him, "Her."

Zander turned around as he looked at Urara, "No… that's funny. Where is she?"

In a rainbow flash, Zander turned around as he watched the Glameow transform into Elle, "Right here, Zander."

Zander took a deep breath as he rolled his eyes. Rolling his eyes, he fell to his knees and fainted. Urara looked at Elle as Elle turned to her, "He will be fine… eventually."


An hour later…

"Zander…"

Zander opened his eyes as he was sitting on a chair in their suite, with bandages galore. Seb was eyeing him left and right as Zander shook his head. Zander got up as he turned around to see Leavanny hold a glass of water for him. His Garchomp splashed a glass of water on his face as Zander blinked. Garchomp laughed as Zander rolled his eyes. Seb chuckled as he put his arm around Grace, "Looks like your brother's awake."

"Yup," said Grace, looking at Zander, "So, what happened to you?"

Zander looked at Grace, "Urara… did you have a chance to look up that artifact that Darcie managed to use against me?"

"Yep," said Urara, "Talk about something so beautiful to be used for something harmful."

"What's that?" asked Seb.

"Darcie managed to upgrade her powers by using a rainbow cloth. It was a blanket and it had the colors of the rainbow. When she donned the cloth, she transformed into this mega warrior and turned the arcade into a fire pit," said Zander.

"According to Max, anyone that uses the Rainbow Cloth can transform into anything they want or anything they wish," said Urara, looking at it, "It came from the wings of Ho-Oh collected by Johto trainers from years past and a woman made a blanket based off of the feathers. With how much power Ho-Oh has, it makes sense how that rainbow cloth came to be."

"But, does that lead to the crown though?" asked Seb.

"Nope, sadly," said Urara, "But, we need to secure that artifact… which leads me to another hypothesis…"

She turned around as Elle was sitting down. Urara looked at her as she knelt down, "Elle… I noticed you had a piece of that cloth on you… so you are a Glameow?"

Elle slowly nodded as she turned to the team. Elle looked at them as she turned to Zander, "Sorry, Zander."

Zander grumbled as he turned to her. He stood up slowly as he looked at her, "Are you sure you aren't a trap by Team Dracos?"

"No…" Elle said, "But, obviously you don't remember how we met. I was a Glameow in one of the alley ways of Sootopolis Island…"


A few months ago…

A Glameow was walking down the street, eating the garbage at a local restaurant. Finding Cheri Berries and Pecha Berries to eat, she turned around as she walked out of the alleyway, heading to the next street. As she was crossing over the street, there was a truck that was on its way. As she looked up to see a truck not stopping, a flash of blue light surrounded Glameow as she was saved. Glameow looked up as she noticed a man wearing a blue suit. Morphing out of the suit, Glameow noticed Zander. Zander knelt down as he picked up the Glameow.

"You're hurt…," he said, "You look like someone abandoned you."

Hugging the Glameow, the cat looked up as he knelt down with Glameow. Petting it, he grinned as he looked at her, "Let's get you healed."

Zander knelt down as he grabbed his backpack, giving Glameow a Potion and a bag of Oran Berries. Spraying her claw, he then gave her an Oran Berry. Within minutes, Glameow began to gleam with joy as she walked over hugging Zander. Zander grinned as he petted her…


"Now thinking about it," said Zander, looking at Elle, "Yeah, I do remember. How's your paw?"

"Better thanks to you," said Elle, grinning, "But, after you left… I ran into Darcie."

"Wait, Darcie?" asked Zander, "How?"


A few weeks ago…

The Glameow was walking around Sootopolis, clawing as she was fighting wild Pokémon. As the Glameow left the group, she heard an alarm ring. Immediately, she saw Darcie break out of a store with a rainbow cloth. Grinning, she laughed as she started dashing away. Darcie put the cloth on her as she went to jump over a fence. However, the fence ripped a piece of the Rainbow Cloth. The Rainbow Wing emerged from the cloth as it hit the Glameow. A flash of energy surrounded her as she transformed into a human.

"Oh my!" she said, "I'm a human!"


"So, that means you have part of the Rainbow Cloth," said Zander, looking at Elle.

"Yes," said Elle, looking at Zander.

Cedric turned around as he looked at the Rainbow Cloth from Urara's laptop. He turned around as he looked at them, "In theory, if Darcie wanted new powers, this was it. She can disguise herself into anything and probably destroy. The power is double what she wields originally."

"That's why she is so powerful to begin with," said Zander, trying to get up. He cringed as he tried to get up, laying down. Seb looked over as he turned to the blue ranger, "Zander, Darcie beat you up pretty bad."

"I know," said Zander, "But, we got to stop her."

Immediately, a white and black dagger was thrown across, breaking glass as it landed near Zander. Zander looked at it as he noticed a green spell tag. Immediately, Darcie's face appeared in the background.

"Poké Rangers! I challenge you off the coast of Pacificdalog Island. I hope you are ready to face my wrath. One hour!"

Immediately, the spell tag disintegrated into dust. Seb turned around as he looked at the team. He looked at Zander, "Zander, we'll handle it. You stay."

"But," said Zander, looking at him, "Darcie is way too powerful. Without me, we can't fight as a whole."

"We'll try to manage," said Seb, looking at the blue ranger, "I want you healed though."

Zander sighed as he looked at the red ranger reluctantly. Seb nodded as he put his hand on his shoulder, "You are going to be fine."

Zander nodded slowly as Seb turned to the others. Cedric nodded as Urara closed her laptop, placing it in her backpack. The rangers grabbed their Relic Detectors as they went to walk away. Lamar, who was the last to leave, punched Zander in the arm, "Don't do anything stupid, bro."

"I won't," said Zander.

Lamar grinned as he closed the door behind him. Zander sat down as he looked at Elle. Zander placed his feet on the table as Elle looked at him, "Sorry that I played you like that."

Zander took a deep breath as he looked at Elle, "I've seen so many things in my time as a ranger. This is no longer a surprise."

Elle grinned as she turned around, "So, is a Poké Ranger different from a Pokémon Trainer? I've heard there's also Pokémon Rangers, but they don't carry weapons."

"Yep," said Zander, "Leavanny, Garchomp… may I have two glasses of water? It's going to be a long conversation."

Leavanny and Garchomp nodded as they turned around, heading to the fridge that was located in the back of the cabin. Zander sighed as he looked at her, "So… unlike Pokémon Rangers, Pokémon Trainers, Coordinators, etc… Poké Rangers are a different type of trainer class. They are specifically picked by an unknown force to defend a world of enemies that could invade our planet. But, they are also picked to defend evil teams from destroying a region's way of life. Especially when evil teams like Team Magma and Team Aqua acquire technology and other resources to become superior."

"I thought Pokémon and humans are supposed to live in harmony. Granted humans like to catch Pokémon," said Elle.

"Not all humans want to live in harmony. Some want to use that for their own personal gain. Granted, the enemies I face now sold their souls to be like the other empires that tried to destroy the world," said Zander, looking at Elle.

"You mean to tell me there's more than just Darcie?" asked Elle.

Zander nodded as Leavanny sipped a glass of water. Garchomp arrived with a glass of water for Elle as she went to sip. Zander took a deep breath as he looked at him, "So, let me explain my story… I wasn't just the Blue Relic Hunter Ranger from the beginning. I've been fighting enemies for a couple years now. But, I started off as a magician in training."

"Magician?" asked Elle.

"Yeah," said Zander. He grinned, "I remember as if it were yesterday. You see, two years ago, Grace and I came from another region to Hoenn. I was one of the top Pokémon Coordinators and Grace was a DJ. We were getting off at Littleroot Town after Slateport closed their ports. We ran into Urara and Lamar as well."

"Wait, Urara who pretty much had a computer the whole time?" asked Elle.

"Yeah, she's actually a Pokémon Biologist. She loves studying Pokémon and how each Pokémon functions and then Lamar was a Pokémon Trainer who traveled all over the world. Then, we met Rachel… who actually is not from Earth," said Zander.

Elle turned around as she looked at him, "Wait, what?"

"You heard me," said Zander, grinned, "She's from a mystical place known as Magiland, the source of magic. Humans and Pokémon exist there, but can fuse with magic to create peaceful harmony. But, when we all met Rachel that day… Magiland wasn't the Magiland I know today."

"What happened?" asked Elle, looking at him, "I know an ordinary Pokémon probably wouldn't understand but-."

Zander shook his head as Garchomp and Leavanny were grinning. Both Pokémon leaned over as Zander petted them, "Believe me when I tell you, these two know. We were on Route 101 when a whole bunch of evil foot soldiers known as Crobatulas struck… as well as this disgusting troll creature."

"Wow," said Elle, "What did you do?"

"Well, Grace and I ran into one of the Princesses of Magiland," said Zander, "A woman named Diana arrived… the White Mystic Ranger. She also chose us to use magical powers."

Snapping his fingers, Elle turned around as she an empty coffee pot. The coffee pot began to fill with soil as a green vine appeared. A pink flower emerged out of it, "Wow? Is that all you can do."

"I used to do more," said Zander, looking at Elle. His face looked down as he turned to her. Elle could see the concern on his face as he went to speak, "But, Team Magma and Team Aqua found a way to sever our magic. I can't use as much grass magic as I did. This includes morphing… hence why I'm a Relic Hunter Ranger now. Our team is devoted to finding the jewels of the Crown of Weather so that way we can get our powers back."

"Wow," said Elle, sitting down as she looked at him, "Well, tell me. Did you have a near death experience fighting?"

Zander took a deep breath as he looked at her, "Oh yeah! I remember one in particular when there was a monster named Steelclops…"

Lifting his shirt, Elle saw a little indenture in his right abdomen. Zander looked at her as she took a breath, "Steelclops pierced my armor and almost killed me…"

"Tell me more…," said Elle.

"Oh boy," said Zander, looking at Garchomp, "I need something stronger."


Back in Pacifidalog Island…

The rangers arrived on their Hunter Harleys as they arrived at the location. Seb hopped off as the team was walking along the beach. There was no one in sight as the team walked together. Lamar turned around as he looked at Darcie, "Why do I have a feeling she's going to shoot us first?"

Explosions surrounded the team as the rangers landed on the dirt. Lamar got up as he noticed Darcie arriving with the Rainbow Cloth in hand, "Hiiiiiii."

Lamar got up as he looked at her, "Not surprised anymore."

"Where's Zander? I want him here!" she said, "And that Glameow is mincemeat for scratching my face!"

"You probably deserved it," said Rachel, laughing. Darcie was easily triggered by that remark. Immediately, she grabbed the cloth and wrapped it around her. A rainbow aura surrounded her as she transformed into her Altaria form. The rangers struck their fighting stances as a blue and red beam shot out. The rangers dodged the attack as an explosion erupted from the sand. The earth started to shake as she screamed.

"Zander wasn't kidding," said Lamar, "Rachel?"

Rachel nodded, "I concur."

Seb turned around as he looked at the team, "Rangers, we need to get that cloth back!"

The six rangers retrieved their morphers as they went to activate them, "Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

Flashes of red, black, yellow, pink, silver and green emerged as they went to face Darcie. Darcie laughed as she used her ninja powers. Duplicating, she transformed into multiple versions of her. Darcie took out her blades as they turned around, red and blue auras surrounded her.

"She's using Dragon Dance!" shouted Urara.

"Quickly, shoot each doppleganger!" shouted Seb.

Withdrawing their weapons, they shot through each doppleganger. As they got to the original, Darcie screamed as she fell to the ground. However, as she did, the rangers turned to notice a scarecrow on the ground. Lamar knelt down as he picked it up. Turning around, the earth started to move as the rangers landed on the ground. Darcie shot out of the beach as she spun around. Green and white energy emerged as a funnel appeared. The rangers were damaged as Darcie flipped forward. Darcie then used her hands as a red and blue aura surrounded it, "Draco Pulse!"

A blast of energy emerged as the rangers were hit. Explosions surrounded Seb, Lamar and Cedric with explosions near Grace, Rachel and Urara. Landing on the beach, Darcie laughed as she looked at him, "Now, I don't see you as a threat! You are going to be defeated!"

Seb struggled to get up as he tried to stand up. Darcie stomped on him as sparks flew across. Darcie turned around as she released a stream of Dragonbreath, causing the rangers to inhale those particles.


Meanwhile…

"So… yeah," said Zander, sitting as he was drinking a glass of Persian Bourban, "That was our adventures."

"Well," said Elle, sitting down as she was finishing her glass of water, "You've been through a lot. What do you think is going to happen with your enemies now?"

The blue ranger shrugged as he turned around, "Well… if Master Hades's death was catastrophic, then obviously it will be more… who knows."

Suddenly, the Relic Detector went off. Zander carefully got up as he reached for his morpher that was on the nightstand. Picking it up, he looked over as he turned it on, "Yeah?"

"Zander, it's Max. I know you were heavily hit by Darcie… but they need more help then ever," he said.

Zander nodded as he looked at him on the screen, "I'm on my way."

Zander placed the Relic Detector down as he turned to Leavanny and Garchomp. Grabbing the two Poké Balls, he stretched them out as they returned to their respective Poké Balls. Zander turned to Elle as she looked at him, "I should go with you."

"You can't. Darcie is a mega monster. I don't want you killed," Zander said.

"You forgot something," said Elle…, "The Rainbow Cloth tore when she left, remember?"

Zander looked over as he turned to Elle. Elle then turned around as she looked at him, "Zander, you don't have to impress anyone… even me. But, do you want to get rid of Darcie?"

Zander turned around as he looked at her, "What are you saying?"

"I think I know how to defeat her…," said Elle, "But, I'm going to need your help."

Placing her hand on Zander's shoulder, Zander looked at Elle as he turned around, gulping. He nodded slowly as he walked with her, opening the door to the corridor. Elle turned around as Zander followed, "What's your plan?"

As they walked down the stairs, they noticed the cruise ship was parked at Pacificdalog Island for repairs. They managed to get down to the dock as Elle went to speak, "So, obviously if there's a tear in the cloth, does it make the blanket complete?"

"No," said Zander.

"I have the missing piece with me," said Elle, "With my senses, I was able to see the weak spot of Darcie's armor."

"You mean to tell me there's a hole," said Zander, walking on the beach.

"Yes," said Elle, looking at him, "But, I can find it first."

Zander nodded as he looked at Elle. Elle grinned as Zander put his hands on her shoulders, "Then, let's go! But, it's a risk."

Elle grinned as she placed her hand on Zander, "It's a risk I'm willing to take."

Zander nodded as he and Elle started running toward the beach.


Meanwhile…

Darcie quickly slashed Rachel and Urara. As the two of them landed on the ground, Lamar and Cedric jumped up to attack. Darcie released dragon energy, piercing the armor of Lamar and Cedric. Lamar and Cedric landed on the ground, cringing in pain. Cedric groaned as Lamar tried to get up. Seb and Grace dashed forward as they went to strike. Darcie went to strike with another energy beam. Grace stood in front as a pink aura surrounded her. Reflecting the energy back, Darcie dodged the attack and slashed Grace across her stomach. Grace landed on the ground as Seb was then slashed by Darcie.

"You six are pitiful," she said.

"So… Darcie, using a rainbow colored cloth is how you are going to defeat my friends?"

Darcie turned around as she noticed Zander, wearing his blue suit with his arms folded across his chest, "You are such a pitiful young lady."

"Zander," said Grace, getting up, "What are you doing here?"

"Grace, just sit back and relax. I'll handle her," said Zander.

"I beat you up good… you can't stop me," she said.

Releasing a Dragon Pulse from her fingers, Zander used a shoulder roll to dodge the attack. A blue aura surrounded his hand as the Swamp Blaster was used. Shooting Darcie, Darcie stumbled as she went to strike. Using the Swamp Blaster to block, Darcie slashed him in the back as Zander cringed. As Darcie then went to strike with her sabers, Zander threw the Swamp Blaster to the side as he held his hands, holding the blades. A blue aura surrounded him as the Hunter Armor appeared on him. Darcie backed off as Zander took out the Relic Crusher.

"You honestly think that can stop-… OW! What the heck?"

Zander grinned as Elle, who was a Glameow bit the back of his neck. Spinning around, Zander could see a green aura from the back of Darcie's neck. Zander quickly pulled the trigger. A golden beam shot out as the blast hit the neck. Darcie screamed as explosions surrounded her. She fell to her knees as Zander arrived with Elle on his shoulder.

"And that's how we do it," said Zander, pointing the Relic Crusher to the sky.

"How?" asked Urara, getting up.

"Elle was able to find the weak spot. The Rainbow Cloth wasn't complete…" he said.

Darcie got up as she used her hands, "Now you made me mad!"

Creating a ninjitsu formation, Darcie grew ten times bigger as she emerged as a warrior, "You're all dead!"

Zander looked at Elle, "Prepare to go for a ride!"

He quickly reached for his Relic Detector, "Relic Hunter Zords!"

"I managed to fix the rest of them… sending the Relic Drivers," said JT over the intercom.

Immediately, seven Relic Drivers appeared on the beach as they picked them up. The fourteen Relic Hunter Zords arrived. Seb turned around as he gave Urara the saber, "You know what to do!"

"Got it," said Urara.

The rangers hopped on to their zords.

"Ultimate Adventure Fusion!"

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!"

"Emergency Adventure Fusion!"

Turning the dial, he heard three different clicks… seeing the numbers 11, 12 and 13 glowing in the center of the device. Pressing the green button, the device lit up.

The Steelix Zord split into three parts, the tail, head and body. The Scizor Zord jumped up as Steelix's head covered the Scizor Zord with the body attached to the Scizor's torso and legs, giving some height. The Metagross Zord attached to the back, with the arms coming up and over the Megazord. A blue helmet appeared on top of the Steelix's head.

"Detector Megazord, assembly complete!"

"Ancient Hoenn Fusion!"

Immediately, the Sentinel Knight transformed into Dragonite form as it split into parts. Golden armor surrounded the Sceptile Zord. The tail detached from the Sceptile as it was held. It transformed into an emerald saber as the Megazord grabbed it.

"Sentinel Scepter Megazord!"

Darcie screamed as she used her saber. She slashed the Ultrazord and slashed the Sentinel Scepter Megazord. As she tried to kick the Detector Megazord, the Detector Megazord grabbed its leg and elbow struck it, causing explosions to occur. Darcie screamed as she landed on the ground. She then took her sabers and combined them into a lance. Spinning the lance, flames and lightning surrounded it as she stretched it to the sky. Red flames and yellow lightning bolts struck them as the team was hit hard by the attack.

"She's powerful when she is huge!" shouted Lamar.

"Sure…," said Urara, "She's not the only one that can use dragon powers! Dragon Rush!"

The saber cut across as a draconic pulse emerged, hitting Darcie. Darcie stumbled as the Relic Hunter Ultrazord charged forward.

"Let's finish her!" shouted Seb.

Floating, the zords began to glow as it connected to the center of the Ultrazord. The Abomasnow Shield and the tail of the Aerodactyl combined as it turned into a crossbow. It was a white crossbow with a grey nozzle. It had a green scope attached to it.

"Hunter Crossbow! Sky Attack!"

A red and orange blast shot out of the crossbow. It shaped into a phoenix as the formation pierced directly toward Darcie. Darcie screamed as her armor disappeared and she landed on the ground. Explosions surrounded her as Darcie stumbled to the ground. She went to grab the cloth that was on the ground, only for Elle to arrive, tackling her. Darcie landed on the ground as Zander picked up the cloth, "Mission complete."

"Darn you, Zander!" she shouted, "Silva and Jake will have you!"

A flash of green energy as she disappeared. Elle, who was the Glameow, turned around as she was on all fours. Zander knelt down as she saw her take the feather from the back of her ear. Zander turned around, "Are you sure?"

Elle nodded as she hugged Zander. Zander chuckled as he hugged her, "I hope you are able to understand me and I guess I will take you with me."

"… Meow," she said.

Urara grinned as she looked at her, "She's really adorable as a Glameow. It's a shame we can't permanently make her a human."

"Well, maybe once the jewels are recovered we can give the whole cloth to Elle," said Zander, looking at her, "But, I am not letting her out in the wild."

Zander grinned as she sat on top of his shoulder. Zander crossed his arms as Elle scratched his helmet. Urara laughed as Zander turned around, "Elle, my helmet needs to be scratch free."

"I think she wants you to take off the helmet," said Rachel.

Zander looked at Rachel as he took a deep breath, "All right."

Removing the helmet, Zander looked at Elle, "Happy now?"

Elle grinned as she cuddled next to his face. Grace grinned as she was looking at them, "Aw, they are so cute."

Zander laughed as Elle started smiling. Zander grinned as he hugged her, "I can't wait for you to meet the rest of my team."


Meanwhile…

Diana opened her eyes as she looked up. She turned around to notice a black background with a golden clock behind her.

"Where am I?" she asked, noticing the blue grid. Immediately, there was a spirit that was floating around, "Princess Diana… your friends, Hoenn, then Magiland… will all be mine."

Diana turned around as she looked at him, "I don't know what your plan is, but I am not looking forward to it."

"Good," he said, "After all, I am the darkness… the darkness that will destroy everything."

Laughing, Diana turned around as she remained calm. She looked up as she reached for her White Mystic Morpher, "I hope they got my message…"

Poké Rangers Relic Hunters Chapter 41: Once a Ranger, Part 1

Grace: I hope we can get out alive!


A/N: Yes! So, Zander encounters a wonderful Glameow who becomes his pet in the end and the fact she used the Rainbow Cloth, was awesome. Now, I had an idea to have Darcie use it permanently, but it probably wouldn't work. This is also Zander's last storyline for himself. I hope you all read the chapter and enjoyed it. Feel free to review if you want! It was also a pleasure to see Diana again… however, what Diana get involved into this time? See next chapter for more info.
