Three days passed by ever since the group's escapades in Adventure City with the PAW Patrol and by that time, the Pokemon School Gang's families, Burnet, Kukui, Faba, Lusamine, and Wicke have all returned to Alola after their short reunion with the group.

Gladion was the only one who decided to remain with them so he can keep an eye on his little sister (to which Lusamine had no problems, knowing they'll look after each other). Donna (former queen) and David, on the other hand, decided to stay with their granddaughter so they can catch up on what they missed out on for so many years which worked out fine for the little princess given that she had indeed missed out on a lot of family time with them and her parents. Even Tsukumaro had no qualms about their being here if it meant allowing him and his goddaughter to fill the pair in on what had changed over the centuries they've been gone.

In fact, Race had also changed for the better following his reunion with his Battle Frontier family (all of whom decided to return to their Battle Facilities after managing to catch up on old times with him) as he was back to his usual easy-going self, to the delight of Sarah. With his qualms and misgivings over Adventure City long gone, he felt at peace with himself and was ready to move forward without any more worries bogging him, his girlfriend, and their friends down.

Speaking of whom, she was also ecstatic that she won't be the only one to know shapeshifting and Pokemon & dragon communication as the Twilight Amulet recognized his personal growth and granted him those abilities so he'll understand his Pokemon and dragons and shapeshift as well. The Hoenn BF Champion was taken aback by this unexpected development but he welcomed it, regardless.

And, to add to the ongoing excitement for the group, Liberty and Raven were both settling in well to their new family following their adoption and the PAW Patrol giving their newest member their blessings in living her new family life.

Raven was currently acting as Race and Sarah's tutor in advanced magic such as their Twilight/Light-Darkness Manipulation, having them start out with two of her most basic but essential powers: Telekinesis and Elemental Constructs. All the while, she carefully guided them through the process of creating small items such as fists, hands, paws, staffs, and daggers before they advanced to creating shields, swords, and spears. Much of everything she had learned throughout her time with Angel after she was originally adopted by her, after discovering the extent of her powers and some years of her own training and practice with them, had intrigued her pupils as well as Tsukumaro as he had never known for her powers to exist and see someone in complete control of her gifts.

Liberty, on the other hand, was playing with the babies and hatchlings of her new family with Yamper and Avel being her favorites as they always kept her on her toes while they were making their rounds during playtime. Before they left Adventure City and parted ways with the PAW Patrol, the princess managed to buys some supplies for dogs like chew toys, a new dog bed, a brush, and so on. In the meantime, her Pup Power Scooter was also given to Lusamine and her team as they would have it stashed away in the Ultra Rescue Rangers' Zord Hanger back in Alola.

Now, it was February 11th during the time of their arrival to the next location along their journey to find King Doug and Queen Delilah according to the trail of light from Magearna's Soul Heart which was revealed to be a beautiful beachside city. The heroes had been on the go for months ever since leaving Alola and now, after dealing with Humdinger, Cawthorn, Indominous, and Indoraptor, they were looking forward to some time off in some sun, surf, and sand.

The good news for them was that Magearna told everyone that they're very close to whomever knew her creators' current location, bringing joy and relief to the group in knowing it'll all be over soon for them.

Sarah, David, and Donna were the most ecstatic because they knew that their small family of five will soon be back together again and they couldn't wait to reunite with Doug and Delilah again after many years of being apart.

Currently, while they were having the time of their lives in the sun and surf, Indoraptor (now named Fang), the baby raptors (appropriately named Blue, Delta, Charlie, and Razor), Bumpy and her family, Angel, Rebel, and Steven were getting their first taste of life with their new family including learning about the vast expanse of water before them and the yellow, small, yet rocky stuff under their feet and bodies called the ocean and sand.

David and Donna were currently spending time with their new Totem Orcrowns as their partner Pokemon: Flipper and Flicka. The presence of the unknown Totem Orca Pokemon threw everybody for a loop as they didn't expect any Totem Pokemon outside of the Alola Region but this came as good news for Azul and Azula as they immediately warmed up to their bigger counterparts and were relieved to know that they weren't the only two or the last of their kind in the world.

As for Ash and the others, after they were introduced to their new Pokemon-inspired Chromafury Sabers and Power Keys, they soon began training with Sokka and Zorro on how to use them while experimenting with the Pokemon Power Keys (as nobody had any idea of what powers they had for them despite knowing of their power types and whatever abilities they can only guess over). None of them expected such a discovery by Sarah and Tsukumaro when they were shown the sabers and they wanted to test them out as soon as possible. Lusamine and her team didn't see any harm in that since they knew they could be just as useful as their personal weapons should any of them somehow get destroyed in battle, permitting their usage as their personal sidearms and main weapons after their old arsenal.

Of course, since Sarah's friends had little experience and knowledge on swordplay and swordsmanship, Sokka and Zorro took it upon themselves to train them personally as they had before with Doug and they even solicited the occasional helping hand from the Swords of Justice on occasion whenever the call for discipline needs to be answered.

Currently, Sophocles, Lillie, and Kiawe were training with the Water Samurai in their usage of the Ice Armor, Blaze Armor, and Electric Armor power-ups from the Tao Trio Power Keys while the Master of Blades experimented on the Swords of Justice Keys with Mallow, Lana, and Ash.

"Okay, now hit us with everything you got!"

"Don't hold back on this one!" the pair coached their new students as their training session went on.

Nodding to their teachers, the group soon went on the attack; Lillie, Sophocles, and Kiawe (wearing their new armor) charged at Sokka first as their sabers were coated in their respective elemental power while Ash, Mallow, and Lana stood back to back as they became surrounded by three fake Zorros as the Shiny Sceptile began with Double Team after he trapped his pupils in a Leaf Storm.

Kiawe, Sophocles, and Lillie's charge, however, wasn't effective as the Shiny Samurott took out his Razor Shells and effortlessly blocked their blows while the Shiny Forest Pokemon emerged into the Leaf Storm and, after Ash, Lana, and Mallow cut down his clones, blast them with Dragon Pulse.

As they were training, Sarah and Race came over to the Jungle Guard after getting some meals from a beach-side concession stand, food truck convoy, or restaurant from nearby and took note of their watching their friends being drilled by Doug's mentors.

"How are they doing, guys?" asked Sarah.

"They're really ssssssssslacking," Medusa replied, unimpressed.

"They got off to a strong start but your friends are falling behind," Cobalt added.

"Princess, is this some kind of joke?" Ghost put in, getting a sigh from the princess.

"I know my friends are the farthest things from being my personal knights and bodyguards just by looking at them but I trust them and I wouldn't trade them for anybody else," Sarah reassured her unimpressed Jungle Guard as she turned her attention back to her friends and their training. "They're really good people and trainers and while it might take them a while to realize their true potential, at least they're going about it in the right direction."

"I hope you're right, Princess," Tyson nodded reluctantly just as Sokka knocked down Kiawe, Sophocles, and Lillie after he swept them from below before they quickly got up and braced themselves again.

"Too hasty, not enough force, and your legs were left unprotected!" he scoffed in admonishment before he went on the attack again. "Don't lose your defenses when you attack, children!"

The same can be said for Zorro as he pushed Lana, Mallow, and Ash back after blocking their attacks and clashing with them for a few seconds as he added, "Lack of form, you're slow on the draw! Again!"

With that, Ash and the Pokemon School gang charged at their teachers again with their Chromafury Sabers at the ready but their next efforts were all for naught as Sokka and Zorro unleashed a pair of full-powered Twin Razor Shell and Leaf Blade attacks. They sliced past all six of them and knocked them back again before this time, they fell to the ground in defeat as they groaned, their training session ending as everyone watching them winced with Sarah coming to check her friends over.

"You guys okay?" she asked as her friends demorphed and tried to collect themselves.

"Urgh, we're fine," panted Kiawe, feeling exhausted as he laid flat on his back with his worn-out arms and legs stretched out.

"That was harsh, ugh," Mallow added, groaning as she sat up and shook her head.

"Crazy," Lana commented simply.

"Phew, now we know how your father felt when he was being drilled by them," sighed Lillie, feeling drained herself.

Race came over to help the gang up as he commented, "You guys sure you can handle being Island Girl's bodyguards? You're not packing it in early, are you?"

"No, no, we're fine," Lana reassured hurriedly.

"We're doing fine for the most part. It's just, we've never had to use weapons like these and the new Power Keys that almost function exactly like the original Chromafury Sabers and Power Keys belonging to the Dino Fury Rangers," Sophocles admitted.

"I was sure we'd beat them that time!" grumbled Ash as he stood up and leaned on his Chromafury Saber for support.

"You've been telling yourself that for the past eight sparring matches ever since Sokka and Zorro began to train you in swordsmanship," Sarah retorted.

"Does it matter? We'll get the hang of this!"

"You youngins are not taking your training as seriously as we hoped? I thought you promised to look out for the princess and be serious about your duty to protect her," Tsukumaro asked skeptically as he joined the group and frowned at Sarah's friends, having watched them train and was unimpressed by their progress. "By the looks of it, you're not putting your hearts into your roles in being my goddaughter's bodyguards."

"That's the understatement of the year," Ash squeaked, trying to defend himself and the others.

"Then, how come you're not making any nudges in your training?"

"We're not seeing anything promising from you guys ever since you first became rangers," Sho and Zorua remarked doubtfully.

"Yeah, guys, I hate to admit it but those two have a point," Azul nodded, concerned for Sarah's friends.

"I'm worried for you kids. You haven't been living up to your promise the princess told us about knowing that this Lothor guy is still at large along with his syndicate," added Azula.

Raven popped over to the group as she added her own two bits on the matter, "I have to agree even though I hate to rain on your parade; I'm not seeing you push yourselves unlike with Sarah during her training."

"We know how she's faring ever since we became rangers, Raven," panted Kiawe, managing to prop himself back up as he stuck his saber upright in the sand. "She's training day in and day out, never missing a beat whenever she's on her own or with her godfather."

"She usually trains harder than the rest of us and she never had much time to take a break until somebody calls her to stop for something," Mallow added defensively. "We're just trying to train at our own pace since we needed time to have fun and do other things as well."

Raven raised a skeptical eyebrow as she retorted, "I'm not sure if you've been taking notes from her ever since you started this ranger business but your leader's been pushing herself to her limits since she got her grandparents back and we're super close to where her real parents could be sleeping at. We're literally just one nation or so away from your region's original king and queen and you're not even trying to prepare yourselves for when this Lothor guy would make his move if we're being tailed by his cohorts. We were lucky to subvert the Killing Curse after he used it on Alola's former bigwigs but how will we know we'll do the same to you should he turn it on you guys instead?"

"We'll figure out how, you'll see," Sophocles pouted.

"Well, you might want to continue your training, though. The princess has been pouring over the spellbooks Raven brought with her to find out what could counter Avada Kedavra after bringing back my High Lord and High Lady," Tsukumaro put in.

"Did she find anything?" Lillie asked, only getting a sigh from the old advisor as he reluctantly said, "Nothing, no spell could counter it. Granted, there was Expelliarmus Harry Potter used against Voldemort in Goblet of Fire and Deathly Hallows but we're not sure how it'll be effective against Lothor's curse."

"Yeah, I hate to waddle over you but I'd say you're more useful as sidelined liabilities than bodyguards," Liberty agreed doubtfully as she came over.

"Oh, come on, Liberty! We're trying our hardest, we've been getting better and stronger! You saw how we were when we were helping you all against the Cloud Catcher, Indominous, and Indoraptor back in Adventure City!" grumbled Ash indignantly with Pikachu nodding in agreement.

"Yeah!" the Kanto Mouse Pokemon agreed.

"I'd say that was an exception to what we've been through even though you had to get a crash course in driving your own Zords," Flo noted, continuing to bask in the sun with her fellow dragons.

"What about our escapades in Okoya Jungle against Dr. Zed?" Lana reminded.

"Also, an exception but you're excused since we all managed to beat him, you included," Blossom said.

"And, you did help deal with the Black Dragons back at Claw Town and our old home and when we got zapped into Cyberspace in Ming Wu's game," nodded Arrietty.

"And, you guys managed to help reel in the Ultra Pillars that accidentally crossed over back home," Cufant added innocently.

"But, apart from that, not much else I'd reckon," Amber said, shrugging at the Pokemon School Gang and Ash.

"You guys really know how to hurt a guy, Liberty," Kiawe frowned, looking at Liberty.

"Sorry, dude, but the truth hurts. You and your Pokemon just gotta man up and ramp up your training to eleven and before long," Liberty rebutted before she looked at Pikachu and noticed the bruises on him as he rested on Ash's right shoulder. "Speaking of Pokemon, how are your pals all coming along?"

"Oh yeah, Pikachu, I didn't notice you being back. How are the others doing?" Ash blinked, looking towards his partner before Pikachu pointed to the rest of their friends' partners, all of them not faring as well in their own training sessions.

Safe for Snowy (as she was training with Tundra and Snowflake), Blitz, Cinderace, Nitro, Aqua, and Rapidash were putting Turtonator, Pyroar, Tsareena, Mallow's Shaymin, Togedemaro, Brionne, Vikavolt, Sandy, Lycanroc, Rowlet, and Torracat through the wringer.

Together, Togedemaru, Pyroar and Turtonator, Brionne, Vikavolt, the female Shaymin, and Tsareena, converged Flamethrower, Discharge, Bubblebeam, and Magical Leaf in a group attack. The bruises and wounds shown on them were telling as they hoped to knock their mentors down and get stronger from their own training rounds but they weren't making much progress either.

It wasn't long until Sarah's Pokemon made their move; after appearing to the group from her hiding spot, supposedly double-teaming with Nitro to train Togedemaru and Vikavolt, Sonic immediately rolled in front and used Spiky Shield to deflect the group attack coming for her team. Then, she teamed up with Cinderace as they prepared to use a Pin Missle and Pyro Ball combo. Shocked from seeing the Totem Togedemaru bring up her defenses, the gang's Pokemon tried again but this time, as Lycanroc, Torracat, Brionne, and Rowlet fired Stone Edge, Ember, Bubblebeam their mentors dodged as Aqua shredded Bubblebeam with Liquidation and Blitz absorbed Discharge with his Lightning Rod ability.

Then, Rapidash used High Horsepower to overpower the remaining attacks and then, while firing Pyro Ball and Pin Missile along with Discharge and Thunderbolt and charging forward with Liquidation and High Horsepower at full chat, Blitz, Cinderace, Sonic, Nitro, Aqua, and Rapidash knocked their trainees down hard.

Snowy, however, got off easy as she continued to train as best she could but through Snowflake and Tundra's motherly and sisterly guidance as they directed and demonstrated to her how she must perform her current attacks and give her a better chance to help her and Lillie perform Subzero Slammer the next time they were to train with it. Her efforts did end up slow and rocky as well but she was progressing a little faster with her patience and eagerness to learn from her fellow Ice/Fairy Types.

Ash and the others sighed but reluctantly, they had to admit that Liberty and the others were right about their progress.

Before any of them could figure out their next course of action to resume their training, Sarah's Boltund (who had been napping at the group's current beach spot while Delcatty's playing with Sandy and Brionne), Kaji, Amber, Tyrunt, Tyrantrum, Amaura, and Aurorus suddenly twitched and they perked up before looking around and chirping or purring. Something had sparked their curiosity from wherever they are and they quickly ran off to the city nearby, catching everyone else's attention as they immediately ran off.

"Boltund, guys? Hey! Come back!" Sarah blinked, seeing her Pokemon run off into the city without warning.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Donna (former queen) called, her, David, Flipper, and Flicka's attention directed after hearing the royal pair's granddaughter shout.

"Uh, Sarah, should we put some clothes on first?" Kiawe reminded before everybody got changed and put their plans for the beach on hold, packing up their stuff and chasing after the runaway Pokemon.

With the aforementioned Pokemon, they were scrambling across the city, looking for whatever it was that caught their attention. None of them knew what it was that caught their curiosity but they were determined to figure out what was supposedly calling for them or was within their family's reach by the time they heard the strange noises. When they reached the entrance leading to the forest outside of town, whatever they were after started to become clear; they suddenly started hearing what looked like small coos and cries in the area, prompting them to scout around for the source of the cries and coos.

They didn't have long to find out who or what was making them, however; carefully hearing the cries and coos while following them, Kaji, Amber, Boltund, Tyrantrum, Aurorus, Tyrunt, and Amaura looked around for the source until they saw what looked like wild Pokemon in the center of a large clearing. Curious and after making sure they weren't followed, they started to approach the new Pokemon, but...

The wild Pokemon (six in total) eventually took notice of them and they growled, whimpered while hiding, or flinched in response. But, that wasn't what took Kaji, Amber, Boltund, Amaura, Tyrunt, and their evolved forms by surprise; what really threw them off was the fact that while the wild Pokemon looked exactly like them but with several differences that made them stand out:

- the wild male Charizard had Amber, Kaji, and Leon's Charizard's body shape but it had a black and plum purple body coloration. And, that's on top of its singular yet slightly curved horn sharing the same color pattern while its wing membranes, tail flame, and the back of its neck have a hot pink shade and its claws are white as snow

- the wild female Boltund looked more like a wolf compared to Delcatty's mate/Sandy's dad from her sharper claws and teeth coupled with her rougher beige, gray, and black colored fur, the only yellow parts being her ankle stripes and neck fur

- the wild female Amaura and male Tyrunt were the youngest of the group as they hid behind their evolved wild counterparts; the former was the same height as Sarah's Amaura but with having a snowy white body coupled with its mane-like aurora head veil having a rose pink, azure blue, and snow-white coloration while the latter also looked similar to Sarah's Tyrunt in size yet it had yellow horns, the top of its face was grey and the bottom is in a lighter shade of grey, its collar is azure blue in appearance along with its tail and knee plates, and its body had a lighter blue shade while it had white claws

- Finally, there was a female Tyrantrum and male Aurorus; the latter shared the same body color and size as Sarah's Aurorus yet it had ice spikes along its flowing mane that had the same colors as the mane on his daughter's while the former shared her son's appearance sans her similar size to Sarah's Tyrantrum but having three yellow horns and a larger collar mane with yellow shading near the edges of her claws

The wild Pokemon continued to snarl and look as hostile as they could but Sarah's Pokemon looked closer at them and saw that they had heavy scars on them and they also had chains and manacles shackled on their bodies and legs. Shocked by what they're seeing and throwing caution to the wind, they carefully approached their wild and wounded counterparts with Delcatty's mate leading his party until they came within a few feet of each other. The wild Pokemon stopped snarling, flinching, and whimpering as they grew confused by why their original counterparts were not frightened by their appearances and hostile attitudes, sniffing them as they came within range.

None of them knew what to say to each other as they tried to take in the awkwardness of the situation before them; it was like looking into a mirror for all of them if the wild Pokemon didn't have their shackles and scars on them and they had the same features as their original counterparts had.

Suddenly, the wild Despot and Flame Pokemon narrowed their eyes, snarling as they realized they were not alone as they thought. Taking aim in the blink of an eye, they fired a twin Dragon Pulse attack at a seemingly empty grove of trees which gave out a series of startled and frightened yelps, surprising Boltund, Kaji, Amber, Amaura, Tyrunt, Tyrantrum, and Aurorus as they whipped around to the source of the yelps and saw their caretaker and the rest of their family and friends appearing, having quietly followed them from the beach.

"Oh, God...!" gasped Sarah, horrified by the state of the wild Pokemon's bodies.

"Are those...?"

"Yeah, they're almost exact copies of Boltund, Amber, Kaji, Amaura, Tyrunt, Aurorus, and Tyrantrum!"

"But, why do they have those chains on them?"

"And, those awful scars?"

"They're hurt!"

"This is terrible...!" Ash and the Pokemon School gang added, their shock and horror at the state of the wild Pokemon being known.

"Oh, man..."

"Those poor dears," breathed James and Nikki.

"Uh, Pipsqueak, tell us what's going o-HEY!" Eternatus began before the wild Despot and Flame Pokemon whipped over to him and fired another Dragon Pulse, forcing Sarah to draw her Dragon Heart Scepter and absorb the attack before it could hit him.

"Wait!" Sarah cried, holding her scepter and left hand in surrender as the wild Charizard and Tyrantrum prepared to attack again, only for them to be stopped by their original counterparts as they got in front of their caretaker.

"Hold it!" Amber shouted, spreading her arms and wings out in defense. "Don't hurt them, please!"

"It's alright, they come in peace! We know them, they mean you no harm," added Sarah's Tyrantrum in agreement. "If they really wanted to hurt you, they would've pounced on you by now but they didn't and they're not trying to hurt you."

"That's what they all say," snorted the wild Tyrantrum, keeping her glare on the group in front of her and her fellow wild ones.

"But, it's the truth! Our human and her friends will not hurt you, they just tailgated us when we found out about you and came here," Boltund replied.

But, the female Tyrantrum scoffed again, "Hmph, like we haven't heard that one before. Slaves, that's all we've been by the last humans we were under, you saw the shackles latched onto us. Guess what, we're not going back to that kind of life again, not after we've finally broken free from that monster's iron fists that put us through the hellfire of our lives!"

"Wait! We're not saying we're going to kick you while you're down and send you running back, we're just worried about you," Sarah's Tyrantrum tried to reason. "Our human is not like the one who did this to you, shackles and all."

"How do we know your human is nothing like the bastard that dared to threaten and abuse us along with our children?" the wild male Aurorus retorted suspiciously.

"Mama Sarah's nothing like that bad guy you say!"

"That's right!" Sarah's Amaura and Tyrunt cried.

Their wild counterparts only continued to glower and glare suspiciously, none of them have any reason to believe them as they were firm in their mindsets that humans are nothing but trouble to Pokemon such as them. Seeing her Pokemon reaching a standstill with them and not showing any signs of progress after noting their glares, Sarah steeled herself as she decided to take action for them on their behalf. The wild Amaura and Tyrunt flinched again as they huddled close to their parents while the wild Charizard and Aurorus hardened their glares and the wild Boltund and Tyrantrum growled again.

But, the little princess did her best to not be intimidated by them as she came in front of her original counterparts, set down her heirlooms (sans her amulet) and her scepter on the ground, and held her hands in surrender to them.

"It's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you," she began carefully, being mindful of their reactions to her as she drew closer with each small step.

"...Who are you?" the wild Aurorus questioned while his mate and the wild Charizard tensed.

"My name is Sarah Tomoe, I can help you... I don't mean you any harm and neither do my friends and my family, I'm not your enemy, we all aren't. If we wanted to hurt you, we would've done so after finding you and if you had attacked us first or if we did. You could say I'm harmless in that sense."

"...Your weapons?" the wild Aurorus continued, still suspicious.

"Nothing on me now. You've must've had it rough with your old owners just by looking at those shackles, huh?"

"Hmph, understatement of the year, not like a mortal human such as you would understand."

"You're right, I don't. But, after going through this very scenario over and over again before meeting you, my friends and I can safely say that we do know what it's like for you. You can trust us, even me, to help you with whatever's ailing you. No real harm will come to you all, I promise..."

The wild Pokemon continued to look at her suspiciously as the atmosphere became tense, nobody daring to breathe or make any sudden movement given their current situation. After their short standoff and getting in arms-length with the wild Charizard, the Flame Pokemon looked into her eyes and saw no malicious intent in them, eventually breathing calmly as he gently put his nose into one of Sarah's stretched hands, officially earning her trust.

Sarah sighed in relief before she gave a soft smile, the wild Flame Pokemon's actions prompting the other five wild Pokemon to relax and trust her as well. Now, having gotten close enough to look them over after getting them to trust her, the princess examined them one by one from the shackles and chains strapped around their necks and bodies to the wounds they've gotten all over their bodies. The wounds on them ranged from claw marks, bite marks, heavy scratches, and so on; some of them looked fresh, healed, or left alone for some time which made them close to infection as several small streaks of blood trickled down from them.

"Oh, man... It's worse than I imagined, I've never seen wounds that bad on any Pokemon let alone you," Sarah gasped in horror and worry before she looked up at the wild Charizard in the face. "You won't mind if I break you free from those shackles before we start treating you guys, would you?"

The wild Charizard, Tyrunt, Tyrantrum, Amaura, Boltund, and Aurorus looked at each other in surprise as they eyed their shackles before they shook their heads at her, feeling grateful that they wouldn't need to have something so cumbersome on each of them. Nodding in response, Sarah took out her wand and pointed it at the wild Charizard's shackles, deciding to free him first and being very careful so as to not hit them by mistake.

"Relashio!" she shouted, shattering his chains before she did the same to the other wild Pokemon, leaving them in awe of what is (in their eyes) her strange act of kindness.

"Sarah, is it alright if we join you?" Lillie asked once she and the others saw the wild Pokemon start to relax with her best friend and their counterparts around.

"Yeah, can we get closer to them?" added Ash in agreement as the others nodded.

Sarah looked between her friends and the wild Pokemon she managed to free but she saw them regaining their glares after they caught sight of her friends and the rest of her family. Unlike before with their savior, they had no reason to trust them in turn and started to revert back to their original way of thinking with humans and she could see them starting to get tense again.

"Hey, guys, guys! Guys, it's okay, that's the rest of my family and these are my friends," Sarah soothed, rubbing the wild Charizard's snout and neck before she directed them to her friends/classmates. "That's Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town in the Kanto Region. And, these with him are Kiawe, Sophocles, and my best friends: Mallow, Lana, and Lillie, along with their partners."

"And...?" the female Tyrantrum questioned, not dropping her suspicious gaze.

"They don't mean you any harm, they're just as worried for you as I am. They're also my bodyguards, I'm sure if you let them and their partners get closer to you, you'll see that they really care a lot for Pokemon. Not all humans are bad such as whoever was responsible for abusing you and giving you those shackles and scars."

The wild Pokemon looked at each other as they took in her words and looked back toward Sarah's friends and the rest of her family and saw that they really didn't mean any harm as they didn't try to hurt them. They could see that the other humans and Pokemon, the dragons, the new dinosaurs, Sarah and Race's mythical creatures, and Liberty were just as concerned for their wellbeing after seeing the shackles on them prior to her releasing them.

After a quick mental debate, on their behalf, the wild Aurorus and Tyrantrum eventually and slowly nodded their approval to her.

Nodding back, Sarah gestured for the others to come closer as long as she and their counterparts stayed with them. While the rest of their group looked them over, Tsukumaro, James, and David grabbed the chains and examined them, a common thought brewing into their minds as they knew that the shackles on the wild Pokemon meant only one thing they commonly despised more than anything.

"Poachers," seethed Tsukumaro quietly.

"Well, don't that beat all," grumbled James in agreement. "And, these are no joke for a clown show, either."

"Foul vermin, those poachers... Always the bane of the existence of Pokemon and Pokemon trainers; all they ever see out of them is money and not one of them has the heart to love and care for these magnificent creatures. Hmph!" scowled David in disgust, throwing away the chain he held.

"Who could be so cruel? These scars look bad and they look completely malnourished, they haven't eaten in days by how horrible they looked," Rotom-Dex noted, taking photos of the wild Pokemon in their current condition. "Whoever abused them and made them all like this is a really, really bad egg!"

"Why don't we think about that later after we get them to a Pokemon Center?" Lillie suggested, gently rubbing the wild Amaura to soothe her.

"Young Lillie's right, they're in no condition to be out in the open right now," Donna (former queen) nodded, turning to her granddaughter. "Baby, we must get them to Nurse Joy as soon as possible."

"Right," Sarah replied, the entire group carefully leading their new acquaintances to a nearby Pokemon Center to get their wounds checked and to give them food to help them recover.

They wasted no time in reaching and admitting the wild Pokemon to the Pokemon Center and after informing Nurse Joy (who was the cousin of the Alola Region's Nurse Joy from Melemele Island), she and Sarah quickly went to work healing their wounds and scars and bandaging them as best they could while everyone else waited anxiously.

When they had completely patched them up, Nurse Joy was happy to tell everyone that she and Sarah did the best they could and they'll be alright. However, they're told that due to serious cases of malnutrition and prior abuse plaguing them, the group had also been told that they were to give them all the care and attention they can give if they were to fully recover.

This prompted the little princess (with the help of her friends) to whip up large dishes of Pokemon food along with a few of her homemade recipes that she personally whipped up including Oran Berry and Sitrus Berry Masaladas, Alolan Honey Pancakes, and Honeycomb Pokepuffs the following morning after they've rested throughout the previous day and night. When they brought her dishes over to the wild Pokemon, they immediately scarfed them down which got her to encourage them to slow down and not choke or vomit their meals while they were eating.

Once they had finished, they felt relaxed and their health improved immensely. Everyone could tell that it's been some time since any of them has had a good meal and they were very lucky to have given them real food after who knows how long before they crossed paths with them. Feeling grateful for the hefty meal, the wild Amaura and Tyrunt cooed as they waddled over to Sarah and nuzzled her left leg in gratitude while her own Amaura and Tyrunt nuzzled the wild pair in comfort. Their wild counterparts cooed to them as well before they returned the affection.

The wild Boltund and Charizard both threw calm looks toward the princess while the wild Aurorus and Tyrantrum took notice of her adopted parents before they went over to the pair and gently bent their heads down, nudging their chests as they detected no malicious from them.

Gladion couldn't help but chuckle and cross his arms in amusement at what he's seeing, "Hmph, looks like they trust you enough to go with you and your family, Sarah."

"Oh, no..."

"Not again, Mother," groaned Eternatus and Silvally.

"I knew it..."

"Me, too..."

"I suspected as much," Mallow, Lana, and Lillie remarked, smiling sheepishly.

James sighed as he reluctantly smiled and started petting the female Tyrantrum while she purred, "Well, I guess it won't hurt to give them a new home. I mean, who's to say we wouldn't turn down a Pokemon in need given our recent history of rescuing and sheltering abused and abandoned Pokemon?"

"I guess so," added Nikki as she gently rubbed the male Aurorus. "But, there's one thing I don't get; where did they come from in the first place and who's the one responsible for their wounds?"

"I'm sure we'll find the answer to that mystery soon," Solar reassured. "There must be a clue or something that could point us to what or, in particular, who's responsible for their previous conditions."

"Just as long as that something's a who and not a what in their case," Athena nodded.


While the rangers, their Pokemon, and Sarah's family were caring for the rescued wild Pokemon, at the same time, over at Intelligence-1 (an elect covert spy agency of the U.S. Government), Commander Harris, an African American man in his forties and one of the government's most decorated and esteemed government agents was having a particular conversation with a group of four humans and their pet pug dog at their island abode of Palm Key, Florida through digital communications.

The group in question was none other than the Quest Team:

- Jonny Quest: a young, rambunctous, yet resourceful 15-year-old boy with yellow hair and a simple outfit of a black turtleneck shirt, blue jeans, and white shoes and wearing a green backpack on his back

- Hadji Singh: Jonny's street-smart, mystical, sage-like, and equally fun adoptive brother at about his age wearing a bejeweled turban over his black hair and Nehru jacket

- Bandit: Jonny's energetic and curious yet faithful pug, signified by the mask-like spot over his face

- Dr. Benton Quest: Jonny's birth father and Hadji's adoptive father, one of the world's greatest scientists and phenomenologists in his early fifties at about 6'2" with red hair that greyed at his temples and mustache, dark eyes, and wearing a beige turtleneck shirt, grey suit jacket, and slacks

- Race Bannon: former Intelligence-1 agent and Navy Seal assigned to be Quest Team and Jonny and Hadji's personal bodyguard at around his early forties at Dr. Quest's height with snow-white hair in a buzzcut, blue eyes, and his trademark outfit of a red flap t-shirt and blue jeans

"I greatly appreciate that you've accepted my urgent call, Dr. Quest," began Commander Harris from his office. "I'm sorry if this is too much of an inconvenience to you if it feels like it."

"Not at all, Commander. But, what's crossed your mind to call us at a time like this?" Dr. Quest quizzed curiously.

"Yeah, your message to reach you sounded urgent," Race agreed.

"It may come as a shock to you and the Quest Team, Doctor, Race, but we just received intel that Dr. Zin has recently joined forces with a powerful Pokemon Syndicate known as Team Eclipse, both of them being hellbent on finding a very special girl who's been making waves across the world with her and her friends and family's heroic endeavors as the new Power Rangers Ultra Rescue," Commander Harris briefed as Sarah's profile started showing up on the Quest Team's monitor.

"Her name is Sarah Tomoe, the Alola Region's Lost Sun Princess. Right now, we've discovered that she and her family and friends are currently stabled in Oceanside City on their journey to find her birth parents, the last king and queen of Alola: Doug and Delilah Tomoe. Unfortunately, her friends are currently slacking in their roles as her personal bodyguards and this got us worried. In light of recent events, Race, I was hoping if you all would like to come into contact with them in the hopes that you could kick them into high gear before Zin and Team Eclipse would find a ripe opportunity to slip through them when she's at her most vulnerable."

"Will I need to go hardball on them during their training, Commander?" Race quizzed, raising an eyebrow.

"Just enough until they can finally prove themselves to be true rangers and bodyguards for her, that's all I'm asking for the princess' sake. Good luck but be careful, I'm sure Zin, once he realizes this, will try to thwart your every move."

"Will do, Commander." And, with that, Commander Harris ended his call, leaving the Quest Team to chew on and take in what they've been told.

"Wow, a real princess from the Alola Region? I had no idea this world is in the presence of royalty that's 500 years old and sent to our time during the tail end of the Ultra Beast War!" Jonny gasped in awe.

"And, one who has Pokemon and dragons and mythical creatures galore under her wing that so many kids would dream of having," agreed Hadji, equally amazed.

"Yep, looks like we're lucky to have the chance of meeting a true royal, boys," Dr. Quest smiled in agreement as Bandit barked excitedly, making him laugh. "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Well, that makes it unanimous!"

Race smirked, also feeling the honor of meeting royalty on his shoulders, "Well, it gives me a ripe opportunity to dust up my good old-fashioned Navy SEAL training for her friends and it'll be great to see what she's made of according to her personal training."

"When do we meet them, Dad?" Jonny asked, his excitement boiling over with Bandit panting eagerly for Dr. Quest's answer.

"On that note, we'll be leaving right now," Benton grinned. "And, I might know a peculiar group of cats who will be honored to meet them, too."


[Opening - Jonny Quest (1964 Theme Song) Pokemon Ver.]

(The 1964 Jonny Quest-inspired movie opening beings with some natives rowing along a jungle river in South America shouting while an American native in shabby clothing was running for his life in a panic, supposedly running from a monster or animal coming after him. The main theme begins as a wild Articuno soared through the skies and gave a loud screech as it started to descend while a Pyroar and a Stunfisk retreat to their respective domains after being frightened by something before the wild Articuno was seen again, letting out another screech as it started to swoop down on its prey. The opening cuts to an army fighting its ammunition from its machine guns at a black spider-like robot (the robot having a single red eye on its round body and four legs) as it tanked the bullets fired at it before a nearby tank fired three shots with the assistance of a Mega Lucario, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Gyarados, and Mega Mewtwo X enlisted in the army using Hyper Beam, Focus Blast, Aura Sphere, and Hidden Power before it exploded from the combined blasts)

(The opening continued as it cuts to a mummy-like being slowly trudging in Egyptian ruins before it busted out of a bricked and boarded-up wall. A morphed Kiawe and Sophocles along with their partners are shown attacking as they fired their Beast-X Enforcer, Beast-X Synergizer, Discharge, Dragon Breath, and Flamethrower attacks before the mummy has a frightened Ahmed Kareem in its grasp before Race, Cobalt, and Xena shot a machine gun, Water Shuriken, and Aura Sphere at the ceiling above them, effectively crushing both the mummy and Ahmed before we see some bad guys on flying platforms in a deserted wasteland)

(A wild Pidgeot descends on Bandit and Cocoa as they tried to run to safety before they end up getting caught in its talons on both of its claws on an abandoned beach while Sarah's Seviper, Flameaconda, and Medusa slither to battle and a pack of Liepards sprint to wherever they're going as they yowl and hiss. Tsukumaro is then shown on a shipwreck while holding a rope before he swings forward and kicks a bad guy in a crocodile-like suit away from his goddaughter (whom the bad guy had pinned down) while another crocodile-like bad guy fired a laser at his intended target. Dr. Quest is shown with his Para Power Ray Gun with Jonny standing with him as his father fired his machine, its laser beam being shot at the source of the bad guy's laser before it exploded in turn)

(The tail end of the opening kicks off with the sight of Nebby and Nebula pulling their carriages (their extended family being inside both of them) along the sky while they and Sarah and her friends and Race (the young couple on Winter and Thunder and Ash and the Pokemon School Gang on their Ride Pokemon), joined by the rest of Sarah's and Race's dragons and Flying Types and other Pokemon that can fly travel alongside the main Quest Jet, the Dragonfly, the Quest Team being shown riding in it with Race driving, Dr. Quest sitting beside him from his right, and Jonny, Hadji, and Bandit sitting in the back (with Bandit being on Hadji's lap))

(Then, everyone is quickly introduced with the first group featuring Jonny, Ash, Sarah, and Race, the second featuring Dr. Quest, Lana, Mallow, and Kiawe, the third featuring Race, Sophocles, Lillie, and Gladion, the fourth featuring Hadji, Donna (former queen), David, and Tsukumaro, and the fifth featuring Bandit, James, and Nikki. When the intros are done, everybody continues to fly towards their intended destination before the movie titles appear to close off the opening)

Race (Mike Road) - "Pokemon - Quest Heroes"

[End Theme Song]


However, things weren't going to be all flowers and rainbows for the Quest Team for their greatest archenemy was about to make his move on Sarah and her family and friends as well; at a vacant yet volcanic tropical island along the Florida Archipelago, the Florida Keys, Dr. Zin was in deep thought as he mused to himself while walking down a large hallway with a large team of men working around him. Inside his volcanic fortress, his new crew was inspecting and examining cages filled with several Pokemon within them (individually or in small bunches), all of which were genetically engineered by them to have exotic looks and abilities that are twice as powerful as their original counterparts.

To add to that, there were also several different dragon species from Berk and the Barbaric Archipelago (all of which had crossed over to seek shelter from the Berk Dragon Wars when they were still ongoing and who were unfortunate enough to cross paths with Zin and thus, be taken prisoner against their own free will).

Suffice to say, all of them were snarling and roaring in frustration, anger, and despair at him and his lackeys with some even going as far as to bite the cages and snap at his crew members, demanding their freedom. Dr. Zin looked over at one of his genetically engineered Pokemon (an Obstagoon) banging and rattling its cage angrily while glaring at him with a snarl as it saw him walk by and the mad doctor just gave a dark smirk and an amused scoff before he continued on, paying it no further mind and he chuckled darkly.

Soon, he reached his personal command center and entered the robot bay next to it as he took note of some of his crew working on a large robotic bird of a Zord for his latest scheme against the Quest Team (especially his long-time rival, Dr. Quest).

"Dr. Zin, your Zord is on the verge of completion. Once everything's been completed and fine-tuned, it'll be good to go," announced the leader of the Zord's build, getting an approving nod from Zin.

"Excellent, keep up your progress and we'll have everything we need for Operation: Storm Bird," he said, the leader nodding as he and his squad continued to build their leader's Zord. "At last, my moment of triumph is at hand; my Storm Bird Zord is nearly finished and with this mechanical beauty and my newly-engineered army of battle-hardened Pokemon at my disposal, my retribution of the Quest Team and Dr. Quest will finally come to pass."

"An army, you say, Zin?"

"Very ingenious to use this world's greatest creatures against the people who respect them, Doctor."

"Soitenly," put in three voices, the voices belonging to Wolf, Hakins, and Mousey as they appeared before Dr. Quest's rival.

"Ah, Wolf, Mousey, and Hakins, the first three of the Seven Sins from Team Eclipse. How nice of you to pay a visit to my new headquarters," Zin smirked as he turned to meet them and shook hands with Wolf. "I've been expecting you ever since your leader, Lothor, contacted me. I trust you have a little problem with a capital P, I reckon?"

"What else is new? That numbskull of a princess and the daughter of King Doug and Queen Delilah, Sarah Tomoe, herself," confirmed Wolf (official voice reference - Moe Howard (The New Three Stooges)) as he pulled out a tablet and brought up information on the little princess before handing it to Zin to show him.

"The Sun Princess from five centuries ago, she's also our boss' niece and he wants her killed off so he can claim the throne as he wanted. However, her family's royal advisor, Tsukumaro Wong, and the return of her grandparents threw a wrench in our plans and now, they're en route to finding her real parents at last," added Hakins (official voice reference - Larry Fine (The New Three Stooges))

"And, she has the very same dragons you've captured and new comrades in the Thunderbird and winged wolves and white lions from Adventure City and Dr. Cawthorn," finished Mousey (official voice reference - Curly-Joe DeRita (The New Three Stooges)).

Dr. Zin scrolled through the info about Sarah he was given and he hummed with a thoughtful nod before an idea came to him and he handed back Wolf's tablet, "If that's so, with my new Zord nearly finished, I'll easily assist in taking care of your little nuisance and I've drugged six of the Deathgrippers in my possession with their own venom to have them obey my every whim. Once the princess is out of the way and my Zord is operational, her family will be next and Alola will be yours for the taking with my help."

Wolf, Mousey, and Hakins smirked at each other and shook hands with Zin, sealing the deal with him. Unbeknownst to them, however, a tiny unknown figure was spying on them from a small distance from them around the corner and it quickly disappeared into the shadows before they could see it.


Meanwhile, Sarah and her family and friends were all out in the forest area bordering Oceanside City and the wild Pokemon's clearing, looking for clues as to their origins and where they originally came from. So far, they weren't striking hot iron but they didn't give up as they searched high and low for anything that could give them a solid lead. The six wild Pokemon went over to Sarah's mentors while they continued to look around as the Swords of Justice, Zeraora, and Zorua turned their attention to their new family members, keeping an eye on Sarah as she made the most effort in finding the clues they were looking for.

"Does she...Always do that thing, Mr. Zeraora, sir?" the wild Amaura asked the original Thunderclap Wanderer.

"Every day and that's during the last two years," Zeraora confirmed with a nod as he gently rubbed the wild Amaura's head.

"Two years?!"

"Every day since she started her wild storybook life since she was fifteen," Zorua confirmed to the shocked female Tyrantrum.

"And, you rambunctious lot are all smooth sailing with having her as your only mother, all of you...?" Charizard blinked, completely bewildered over what he heard.

"Yep, that's about it."

"She's not alone in her crusade she's pulling through, though. She's got her old man and her adoptive parents in on her work since they knew she loved all Pokemon and creatures she feels strongly for," Terrakion chuckled. "And, that's on top of the boatload of the warrior and magical training she has to juggle with him the Old Man and us."

"But, don't you think that's too much for a girl her age to handle along with those Team Eclipse jerks, regardless?" the wild Boltund questioned.

"We know it's too much but it's not too bad for her with all of the training she's handling. But, with everything Tsukumaro is teaching her about magic and how she should use it, it's gotten easier for her," reassured Virizion.

The wild Galar Dog Pokemon blinked before he turned his attention to Sarah's friends as they searched around for clues as well, "But, why can't her friends help her deal with her family since she had so many Pokemon compared to them? You did tell us they love Pokemon just as much as she did."

"That's true but she takes her responsibility to look after all of us in her care to heart and she extends that to her mythicals and the dragons throughout everything we've been through since she started her journey and we met her at Zeraora's old meadow. But, that's probably why her friends consider her to be the strongest out of all of them," Keldeo smiled knowingly.

"Everything she does is always putting us first and helps us get a leg-up in battling, she's extremely flexible on that," Virizion continued.

"I can see that," the wild Tundra Pokemon quipped to the Grassland Pokemon.

But, as the wild Pokemon conversed with the Swords, Zorua, and Zeraora, by the time the sun was high in the sky and brightened up the clearing for them to see better, they, the little princess and her friends, and the others had found no trace of clues pertaining to the wild Pokemon's origins.

"Find anything?" Sarah asked her friends.

"Nope."

"No."

"Nothing yet."

"Zero luck."

"Not even my Beast-X Navigator picked up anything of value," Ash, Mallow, Lana, Lillie, and Sophocles (the Electric Type student having brought out his Beast-X Navigator to help in the search).

"Yeah, I don't see anything so-huh?" Kiawe began before he then noticed something glistening from the sun's rays that drew his attention. "Hey, Sarah, check this out!"

Hearing Kiawe, Sarah looked in his direction and saw him waving to get her attention, making her realize that he finally found something that points to where the wild Pokemon originally came from before she came to his spot.

Curious as to what they found when they saw her approaching her Akala Island classmate, the wild Pokemon joined them before they sharply stopped, flinching and hiding behind the older and larger wild Pokemon (in the wild Amaura and Tyrunt's case) or snarling suspiciously (as with the wild Aurorus, Tyrantrum, Boltund, and Charizard) at what they just saw.

The little princess saw their reactions and carefully picked up the object they were flinching or snarling at and saw that it was a scroll coupled with a tranquilizer dart filled with a familiar purple substance that can only be described as, according to the scroll, "...Deathgripper venom!"

But, she suddenly had a bad feeling brewing in her stomach as she listened to the grass (on account of Virizion's lessons to her) and saw, from behind the Swords of Justice, the wild Pokemon were backing cautiously away from the dart and saw a metal-like object hidden under the thick foliage in the middle of the clearing. Realizing what was about to happen, Sarah swiftly brandished her wand and barked, "AH! Charizard, Boltund, Aurorus, Tyrunt, Amaura, Tyrantrum, don't move! Flipendo!"

The wild Pokemon yelped in bewilderment as they ducked and dodged the spell, the Knockback Jinx hitting the center of the clearing and springing a huge metal clamp trap that startled everybody as they jumped back.

"Sick spellcasting, Sister!" peeped a surprised Liberty.

"What happened?!"

"Hey! Where'd that trap come from?"

"It's an animal clamp!"

"I don't remember that being here, at all!"

"It wasn't there last time we came here after we found those wild Pokemon!"

"Who could've put it there?" gasped Ash and the Pokemon School Gang in shock and horror as they tried to slow down their terrified breathing and racing heartbeats.

"Alright, who's the muppet that would be stupid enough to hide a clamp trap like this one in this clearing when nobody besides us is supposed to be here?" Race inquired suspiciously as he nudged the poaching trap.

"Poachers, I should've known something was up after we came back for a bit of mystery solvin'!" snarled Terrakion in disgust as he brought out his Sacred Sword and shattered the now-sprung trap.

"Not cool," the Night Lights chirped.

"Well, at least we now know somebody was after the wild Pokemon since this clamp trap was built with them in mind," nodded Sunce.

"Yeah, dude, but who else would want to wrangle our new friends at this time?" Liberty questioned.

"I can't believe we almost walked into that thing's chompers while we were hunting for leads into our new friends and their origins," James breathed, running his right hand through his hair in bewilderment.

"How did anybody know we'd be coming back here?" Nikki asked.

"Whoever's after them must have evil intentions and would intentionally plant such a vile contraption here without our knowledge," Tsukumaro warned as he eyed the destroyed trap. "They've had a means of spying on us or something that allowed them to plant it there without us knowing so they'd have us in their hands. They're demanding, through crude methods, that we'd surrender our new friends to them or be destroyed."

"What, like we're some kind of criminals?" seethed Sawsbuck.

"They're bringing this fight into the open, they'll be wanting the wild Pokemon badly no matter what," said Drogon

"And, somebody sent us this calling card through this dart with Deathgripper venom in it to make sure we heard their warning," Sarah frowned, examining the dart.

"They're going to ensure that our new friends will get back in their hands at all costs. But, why and what exactly do they want with them all at this time? They don't want them dead judging by how that animal clamp was positioned but what's the point of baiting us?" Star questioned.

"Problamo we have here, folks. Who's they?" Liberty inquired.

"Who knows but what's important is that somebody's after our new companions and we must exercise constant vigilance at all times," Cobalion said, his eyes narrowing and his glare sharpened in knowing the danger they're all in.

"But, isn't Deathgripper venom meant to paralyze an opponent?" Ash questioned.

"You're right, Ash. However, aside from paralyzing their opponents, Deathgrippers are also vulnerable to other dragons and especially their own venom. When it's used against them, they can be knocked unconscious or be forced into a mindless state of obedience against their own free will and give poachers or the Dragon Slavers of Berk the opportunity to enslave them and have them disobey the commands of their alpha dragons, thus using them for nefarious purposes," Tsukumaro reminded, making the entire group gasp in shock and horror.

"That means anybody who's also a bad guy and takes advantage of Deathgrippers using their own venom against them will make their own rules involving them," Sophocles breathed in stunned shock, getting a grim nod from the old advisor.

"So, that's it..."

"Those poor dragons..."

"How cruel," Mallow, Lillie, and Lana breathed in horror.

"That's just wrong!" agreed an equally disgusted Sophocles.

"Whoever thinks and does that is crazy!" added Ash in agreement.

"Oh, that creep who did all of that to those Pokemon and dragons! He or she makes me so mad!" Kiawe seethed, stomping his right foot and then crossing his arms.

"He's not wrong there," Dawn (Deathgripper) grimly confirmed.

"By all accounts, our species' venom is a double-edged sword in its own right," agreed Twilight, nuzzling one of her baby sisters.

"Whoever's got their hands on Deathgripper venom and is using it against your species means someone's found more Deathgrippers that crossed over to this world due to the Dragon Wars," Solar said worriedly.

"That's a certain possibility, Young Solar," nodded Wang Lun, crossing his arms.

"Well, it seems to me like we're going to need a little help in closing this case since things just got a little more complicated," Gladion suggested with his Umbreon and his Silvally nodding in agreement to his sentiments.

"Like trying to pinpoint who the joker is for planting for that clamp for us," nodded Robbie.

"Hello down there!"

"If you're looking for the freak who hid that animal clamp from you, we got your deal that'll point you to him!" a pair of unfamiliar male and female voices rang out.

"What's that?"

"Who's there?"

"Where are you?"

"Show yourself!"

"Alright, what's your game? You know who's after the wild Pokemon we found moments ago?" Nikki, Donna (former queen), David, Gladion, and Race questioned, looking around with the others for the owners of the voices.

"Look up, friends!"

"Take the blinders, pallies! We're skyborne!" two more voices (one of them being British) rang up before everyone looked to see four kittens looking down at the group from their spots on the trees and gasping in surprise before their visitors jumped down to introduce themselves.

The first kitten was a male Ginger Tabby, bearing an almost-complete resemblance to Wild Cat, the PAW Patrol's first-ever cat ally/member and stunt motorcyclist by having light cream fur with light orange fur patches, only to have a darker orange mohawk and his Pup Tag bearing a cheetah-spotted background and an orange claw print smack-dab in the center of it.

The second kitten is a female Tuxedo cat that had black fur and pink bangs coupled with a white spot on her nose and white fur on her chest, having a pair of purple jaguar-spotted headphones worn around her neck.

The third kitten was also a Tabby cat but he instead had gold fur and brown paws, his Pup Tag having a yellow lion fur background fixed with a bright yellow claw print mark in the center.

And, finally, the fourth kitten is a female British Shorthair who sported white fur, violet eyes, and wore a light blue collar that sported her own Pup Tag that had a white tiger-striped background and a pure white claw print in the middle.

"Meow-wow, friends! Nice to meet you!"

"Yeah, meow-tastic! I never thought we'd get to meet the Power Rangers for ourselves; we've heard so much about you guys and your Legendary Ranger predecessors as well as your successors, the Dino Fury Rangers!" said the British Shorthair and gold and brown Tabby excitedly.

"Uh, yeah... Hi, and you are...?" Sarah asked, unsure of what to make of the kittens.

"My name's Wild aka Wild Cat!" the first male Tabby smiled (voice reference - Tristan Mammitzsch)

"My name is Rory!" the female British Shorthair answered (voice reference - Tianna Swaminathan)

"You can call me Leo," added the second male Tabby (voice reference - Kingston Crooks)

"And, I'm Shade," grinned the female Tuxedo (voice reference - Markeda McKay). "And, we are..."

"The Cat Pack!" the four kittens finished, getting into a group pose.

"Cat Pack/Cat Pack/Cat Pack?" everybody blinked in surprise.

"Yep! That's us, been together ever since we were born," Shade nodded, still grinning.

"Wait a minute, so you're the Wild Cat, the famous Motorcycle stunt cyclist!" Liberty gawked looking at the Ginger Tabby.

Wild/Wild Cat laughed, "You bet. Surprise."

"Wild's the one who brought all together to become the Cat Pack." Leo grinned.

"No way!"

"Awesome!"

"A real stunt kitty!"

"Hooray, nya!" Wooloo, Scorch, Raboot and Skitty smiled.

"Wicked, dudes and dudettes! You sure are lookin' swank with those duds," Liberty replied, sharing Shade's grin as she waddled over to the Cat Pack. "Those Pup Tags are da bomb, where'd you get them digs? Did Ryder make them for you?"

"Nah. They may look like your Pup Tag but our tags are made by our good friend, Dr. Quest," Wild corrected.

"Wait, wait, wait! Hold it, who did you say made them for you?" Rotom-Dex gasped in shock, hearing the name Wild spoke of.

"Dr. Quest, who else? He made them for us," Wild repeated, still grinning as he showed his tag as it glistened in the sunlight.

"Dr. Quest, so this Dr. Quest happens to be... Dr. Benton Quest, THE Dr. Benton Quest himself?! HE made those Pup Tags for you and not Ryder?" Rotom-Dex shrieked in complete shock at the Cat Pack, finally recognizing the name after a stunning pause.

"What is it, is this Dr. Quest guy supposed to be famous or something?" Ash blinked as the Pokemon School gang looked at each other in confusion about the name of the person Rotom-Dex was freaking out about.

Their reactions, however, irritated the Living Pokedex as he screamed angrily in their faces while flailing, "Don't you know anything about him, guys?! Dr. Benton Quest is the birth father and adoptive father of his sons, Jonny Quest and Hadji Sing, a friend to Intelligence-1 agent who became his family's bodyguard, Roger 'Race' Bannon, and one of the most brilliant scientists in the entire world! He's one of the planet's driving forces in the realm of science right now!"

Ash and the Pokemon School Gang paled from this as they chuckled sheepishly, "Oh..."

"That, is, AWESOME! Your tags made by the big brains of the Quest Team himself, how'd you get so lucky?" Liberty cried ecstatically.

"Never mind that, Liberty. We have bigger fish to fry right now, do you little ones know anything about that animal clamp and who planted it without our knowledge?" Entei questioned.

"Yeah, one minute we came across our new scampy friends while we were out at the beach, the next we nearly became clamp bait by a bunch of whacko ninjas that are hunting our new pals down," Raikou added.

"Is there anything you dears know that caused this?" Suicune finished.

"Do we ever, there are these three creepy men you might know of. One of them had a giant snake made out of solid iron, the second has a camel that had volcano-like humps on its back, and get this, the last one had a black grimhound that looked like... Like him!" Rory informed before she pointed to Sarah's Houndoom, surprising the Dark Hound Pokemon.

"They also left the dart and scroll there as a warning for you as we're sure you know nyow," Leo added, directing to the dart and scroll in Sarah's possession.

Sarah looked at the dart and scroll again before she narrowed her eyes, growling, "Wolf, Hakins, and Mousey..."

"Those creeps again?" seethed Lana, annoyed.

"Yeah, those three stooges "

"Aw, man, and just when I thought they would get off our backs for even a little while during this journey," grumbled Mallow.

"Uh-huh, I thought we were done looking after our shoulders until we'd finally put an end to them after finally reaching King Doug and Queen Delilah,' agreed Lillie, groaning.

"They set us up when they bailed on us back in the Forest of Okoya just when we were about to crush them and Zed and now, they have the nerve to pop up out of nowhere and start causing trouble again?" Kiawe snorted in disgust, punching his right first into his open left hand.

"I guess this is technically Round 2 with those stooges since they've been keeping tabs on us for a while after they ran off," Turtonator thought grimly as Pyroar nodded in agreement.

"And, I'll bet those ruffians have taken notes on the fact that you and Raven found your unforeseen loophole around the Killing Curse when you brought back your grandparents," Tsareena added knowingly as she crossed her arms.

"Don't forget her other powers, too, ever since we left the big forest," Mallow's Shaymin squeaked.

"Well, I won't be surprised if they tailgated us ever since we left home."

"100% true on that, Sis," put in Togedemaru and Vikavolt.

"Oh, no! They must've been somehow responsible for the wild Pokemon being in their previous condition!"

"I thought they couldn't get any creepier than they were but they crossed the line with them and the possibility that they found and are enslaving some wild Deathgrippers, too," Ash (the Kanto trainer facepalming) and Mallow said in disgust and annoyance.

"I never thought those fools would sink so low as to extend their treatment of the innocence of the world to other Pokemon and these creatures you children call dragons who have nothing to do with our affairs, child," David seethed in anger, already getting ideas on how to punish his former son and his syndicate.

"What are you all going to do now, baby?" Donna (former queen) questioned.

"...The only thing we can do at the moment," Sarah answered after a momentary pause. "Uh, bail and then go back to finding your real parents?"

"And, order takeout?" Ash and Pikachu gulped worriedly.

"We can't leave now, you muppets," Ching Wan snapped, annoyed.

"What about the wild Pokemon with us and the dragons in danger? Are you saying we just leave them at the mercy of Team Eclipse for all we care?" added Hashimoto, sharing his brother's annoyance.

"Nuh-uh, not happening, Mr. All-You-Can-Eat. You and your mouse may bail but we're staying right here and taking those goons by the horns for our friends' sake," Liberty agreed.

"Idiot..."

"Wimp," snorted an annoyed Zephyr and Drogon.

"Children," cut in Sapphira, eying her children for their insults towards Ash and Pikachu.

Bella huffed as she went to Pikachu and yanked his left ear as she told him while he was groaning in pain, "No, you big baby, we have to figure out what Team Eclipse wants with those Pokemon and how they found themselves some dragons to make use of."

"And, finding the wretched lot and uncovering who they've aligned with this time," Sulfuur put in.

"Like Rose and Evox?" asked Sunset, getting a nod from Sulfuur.

"The scroll? What does it say?" asked Rotom-Dex, floating over to Sarah as she unfurled it and read what it said.

"Experiments 104-110: 110: Primal Charizard (Dragon/Flying) - Talon, Primal Boltund (Electric/Steel) - Hikari, Arkanian Amaura (Ice) & Aurorus (Ice/Fairy) - Frostbite & Hailstorm, and Arkanian Tyrunt (Dragon) & Tyrantrum (Dragon/Fire) - Chomper & Obsidian; these six Pokemon before are created to more aggressive and more powerful compared to their original counterparts The tests we've calculated with the headman of the project they're from have been successful, enjoy them while they last 'cause you won't have them for long. Wolf, Hakins, and Mousey - the Three Eclipse Stooges. P.S. thanks for letting us take a page from your book of tricks, Princess. ;-P"

"Made to be more aggressive and more powerful than their original counterparts?"

"Take a page out of your book of tricks?" Skylar and Akira echoed.

"What does that mean?"

"I don't know, I don't speak science lingo," Andres and Whisker bantered to each other in confusion.

"Whatever it is, it means trouble," Umbra grunted grimly.

"Sarah, this Team Eclipse you all talked about on the way to Oceanside City and throughout our time in Adventure City, how often do you know they'll be coming at you?" Chen Li asked, looking toward his trainer.

Sarah sighed as she looked at her male Obscuring and looked back at the note, eventually saying, "...I don't often know."

At that moment, Bumpy and her family roared in alarm along with Rexy, Fang, Drogon, and Zephyr they noticed six attacks coming at everybody without warning. "INCOMING!" Drogon shouted as the attacks landed on the ground near the humans and they all got knocked off their feet along with the Ash and the Pokemon School Gang's partners, Blitz, Curly, Robbie, and Bella. Then, three evil cackles were heard as the heroes quickly picked themselves up before they saw their attackers coming into view from their hiding places.

There, standing before them from the shadows as the smoke cleared, were Steelix, the evil Houndoom, and Camerupt along with Wolf, Hakins, and Mousey as they smugly took in the sight of the heroes being taken by surprise by their unexpected assault. The wild Pokemon, the latter five now officially dubbed as Talon, Hikari, Hailstorm, Frostbite, Chomper, and Obsidian, gasped in shock and horror at the sight of who were confirmed to be their former slave drivers with Chomper and Frostbite huddling behind their snarling parents in fear as they whimpered.

"...You!" boomed Talon finally, enraged and stricken with fear as he became tense while Tsukumaro, Race, Nikki, and James quickly took their places in front of Sarah and her real grandparents.

"Wolf, Mousey, Hakins!"

"So, you guys were the ones who did it!"

"It was you fiends who put that clamp here and abused those Pokemon!" Ash, Kiawe, and Lillie bellowed in anger.

"Yo, Princess, fancy meeting you here in the sunny breeze of Oceanside City!"

"Surprise!"

"Did we catch you at a bad time, Pretty?" Hakins, Mousey, and Wolf sneered, still smirking as the heroes got up to face them.

"Bad time, yes!" Sarah snarled, eyeing the Three Stooges Sin.

"Makes it all the more fun when hunting you down, especially knowing you're ever so close to finding out where your old folks are sleeping right now. Ah, I see you've found our little pack of science runaways, thanks for the heads-up there," Wolf frowned, now eying the mentioned wild Pokemon before he spotted Raven, David, and Donna (former queen).

"But, your luck's finally run out today, missy; not only did you and that trickster wolf find a loophole around the Harry Potter Killing Curse to bring back your old folks through her demon magic and your Phoenix Spirit, but you've been on the run from us for long enough. Our master is waiting for you and he's not as patient as he used to be with how you meddling muppets made things harder for us, is it?"

"Big whoop, but you lost custody rights when they ran away from you and came across us instead, especially after the way you treated them. I freed them and they trust me and my friends as well as my family now; my Pokemon, my rules," Sarah scoffed.

"Sorry, Princess, but you've overstayed your welcome the moment you stole our babies from us and they're our property before you even knew about them," snorted an amused Hakins. "What's more, our new partner has agreed to help us kill you so if you miss your old man and pretty lady that much, we and our boss promise we'll let you join them."

"Over our dead bodies! Sarah and her family have already been through too much because of you creeps, you and Lothor will never get away with what you did to them!" Mallow screamed angrily, she and the rest of the Pokemon School Gang and Ash standing defensively in front of their best friend.

"We're not gonna let you destroy them and the world!" Ash added threateningly as he and the others got into position. "Come on, guys, let's show them what happens when they mess with us! It's Morphin' Time!"

He and the Pokemon School Gang then activated their morphers and brought our their Poke-X Keys as they morphed into action, "Link to Morphin Grid! HA!"

Donning their alter egos and getting their personal weapons ready, they prepared to defend their best friend once again with their Pokemon also getting ready to fight should things get messy between their friends and enemies.

"Don't make us laugh, you snot-nosed muppets can't even hold a snappy defense for five minutes let alone three. You haven't even brushed up on your martial arts and leveled up to the standards your own princess had already set with her own drills from her own family. What makes you idiots think you have a chance this time given the circumstances?" Wolf scoffed with a snigger.

"Even if we're not up to speed with our training, that doesn't mean we can't try our luck several times over!" Lillie snapped, unamused.

"Really, then how will your luck go against our new pets for backup but with our own modifications ripped straight off of your bestie?" Mousey snorted as he snapped his fingers, signaling the arrival of six Broad Wing Deathgrippers as they all wore head gear with viles of their own venom attached and appeared next to their masters.

"Deathgrippers!"

"They look just like us!"

"But, look, Sis! Their headwear has viles of our species' venom on them and they're all blanks next to those dorks!" Melody and Echo, Twilight, and Dawn (Deathgripper) gasped in shock.

"The Deathgrippers, those abominations DID drug the poor creatures with their own venom!" Calyrex (in Ice Rider Form) cried in disbelief and horror as his sons got ready to fight.

"They must've also fled our own homeworld during the Berk Dragon Wars and hid around here in isolation just as we did!" Rosa gasped.

"But, it looks as though they ran into or were found out and got caught by the wrong people meaning them and this new partner of theirs," Skystorm snarled, knowing how the brainwashed Deathgrippers fell to the dark side.

"You big bullies, leave our draggies alone!"

"Yeah!" Viper, Wyvern, Rhaegal, Kayda, and Edna shouted, not taking the sight of their brainwashed fellow Deathgrippers too well.

"Cheaters!" Sho bellowed, blowing an angry raspberry at the villains as Arrietty bared her fangs towards them as well.

"You all shame and disgrace the princess' dragons by pulling this stunt on us!" Kommo-o snapped furiously.

"You turned them into your own fighting machines using their own venom to give yourselves a leg-up after doing your homework and realizing what this venom from Master Sarah's scorpion dragons can do if used against them so you can capture her more easily? How could you bastards sink so low?" seethed Wang Lun.

"So low, us? HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! You all are such a menagerie of fools!" Steelix cackled, seeing the heroes looking furious at them.

"Our masters' note did tell you that they learned a thing or two from your Little Ms. Pretty-Pretty, didn't it? That's proof that they're learning from their mistakes and we're putting them to good use," sniggered Salazzle, enjoying the furious reactions they're getting from the heroes.

"And, that's not all; those Deathgrippers we have are just a sample of what our new partner cooked up after our bosses made the deal with him. They're not the only ones in his grasp right now as there are more where they came from," smirked Camerupt.

"You captured more dragons for your new 'partner'? Tell us, where are you hiding them if you did snag them from their new homes in this world?!" Sarah demanded as she drew her father's Sun Sword, preparing to fight as well.

"Our new bestie nor us will tell you, Princess; classified and if you really want to know, you'll have to do your own research or beat us here and now if you want to help them with their time running out," Wolf continued, sneering at the little princess. "In fact, we should thank you; even though you and your posse were the only ones that crossed over to Berk, we've been following you through a hidden drone recording your every move until the day you ended the Dragon Wars and you didn't even notice."

The heroes gasped in shock and horror over what they heard as Hakins laughed before he smirked, "Amateur; slippery moves like that won't work if they're not fully compatible with being under the radar, and on top of that, we know you too well now thanks to your own uncle. Wherever you go or hide, our boss will find a way to hunt you down."

"My subjects will never be your toys to play with even if you do know about Berk, the Vikings, and the dragons now! But, I warn you; they're not going to go down without a fight and since they're all stubborn from going on several occupational hazards, they won't be subjugated that easily! That, I assure you!" the princess spat back, furious over what the villains did.

"Well, it sucks for you because until you have us beat, they'll be under our service for who-knows-how-long. Last time, you were lucky; you were flung into the future during the Ultra Beast Wars and your parents went into an eternal slumber after they played us and saved your hide in the process! But, this time, once you and your meddling family are out of the way, the world and Alola will finally be ours! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! Get 'em!"

Wolf whistled once Mousey had finished and soon, the heroes found themselves surrounded and ambushed by a giant flock of dragons (500 in total) including the likes of Singetails, Monstrous Nightmares, Zipplebacks, Deadly Naddlers, Triple Strykes, Dramillions, Razorwhips, and even Death Songs and Slithersongs (all of which had Poke-X Mechas in their Super Sentai/Power Rangers grunt guises and human Team Eclipse grunts riding them) as most of them hovered above the treetops and some of them began the first assault.

But, things went from bad to worse as among them, on their own mind-controlled Titan Wing Singetails and Monstrous Nightmares, Lothor, Ivanka, Katzenberg, and Melania joined the fray as they oversaw the battle.

David and Diane (former queen) along with Nikki and James were forced to stay close to the Pokemon, Mythicals, and dragons that were capable of defending them from Team Eclipse's grasp including the latter pair's teams, Flipper, and Flicka as best they could with Race and Sarah summoning a few of their dinosaurs to provide additional cover for them if it is possible for them to escape. The others weren't so lucky as they were all forced to fight in the middle of the clearing, the scuffle forcing everyone to fight at their hardest as they worked to keep Sarah away from her fallen uncle and his fellow Sins.

The villains could only look on, smirking or cackling at the heroes' current predicament (Lothor just gave a dark glare as he eyed Sarah fighting) as they struggled to push back against their offensive.

"Hmph, what's the matter, Princess? Don't like reunions, your uncle missed you while you were gone," sneered Ivanka as she looked down at the little princess.

"ARGH! You can't choose your family, Ivanka! And, I sure didn't choose Lothor nor you and your fellow Sins!" Sarah spat as she took down a grunt using the Beast-X King Ultra Bow she managed to summon before she continued to fire away despite having not morphed yet before she glared at her and her uncle. "And, if I have to take a guess, did you somehow use the Imperius Curse on them, 'Uncle'?"

"The Imperius Curse?!"

"But, that's impossible!" cried Donna (former queen) and David in shock.

"You're not the only one who's learned a thing or two from a former wizard or someone else from the Wizarding World, Princess," scoffed Lothor in confirmation, unfazed by and expectant of her accusation. "You'd be surprised over how much you can learn from delving into forbidden spells such as the Three Unforgivable Curses as much as the regular magical fodder."

"You monsters, you've stripped every last one of them of their free will and are using them to attack us and their own kin! Silvally, Air Slash! Umbreon, Shadow Ball! Lycanroc, use Stone Edge!" shouted Gladion, hearing everything before he turned to the Three Stooges Sin and directed his Pokemon to attack them, all three proceeding to do so with their respective attacks.

"What?! Camerupt!" barked Hakins, getting his partner to defend them but resulting in him tanking the assault in full force AND getting some damage out of how strong Gladion's Pokemon had become since they started taking the Island Challenge. "Damn it, Camerupt's been blasted!"

"Hakins, you muppet! Can't you do anything right?!" grumbled Katzenberg, unimpressed.

"GRR, out of the way, you blithering idiot! Destroy them!" Wolf boomed furiously, pointing the brainwashed dragons toward Gladion and his Pokemon before they assaulted the quartet and they started fighting back as best they could.

But, just as they rounded up Gladion and his Pokemon and prepared to give them a bigger thrashing, they were stopped in the nick of time by Feathers as she swooped down and knocked them all back before she stood in front of their attackers with Race quickly joining them.

"Not so fast! Feathers, use your Sonic Blast!" the Hoenn BF Champion declared.

"Coming right up! HAAAAAA!" replied Feathers, unleashing her Sonic Blast attack to quickly disorientate the attacking dragons while giving Silvally the opening he needed to fight back with Crush Claw.

"Don't take another step!" Ash bellowed, he and the others blocking Mousey and Salazzle and the brainwashed dragons with them as they tried to reach the princess as they held their weapons at the ready.

"Sarah and her family aren't going anywhere!"

"Not with you around!" Sophocles and Lana agreed, readying their Beast-X Synergizer and Beast-X Pirate Blaster/Beast-X Pirate Sabre.

"Right/Yeah!" Pikachu, Togedemaru, and Brionne agreed, growling.

"Sorry, kiddies, but our head cheese has business to attend to with his family," Mousey sneered as he brought out his Steelix to join Salazzle and his dragons.

"Not today, get him!" Ash bellowed, the group letting out battle cries as they and their Pokemon (including their Ride Pokemon) charged at Mousey and his crew before they started to clash just as Darkrai floated down and eyed Sarah's friends and their Pokemon fighting before he scoffed and crossed his arms.

"Hmph, those meddling kids haven't grown up and faced the fact that they're not cut out to be the princess' bodyguards despite them having two years to prove that. Why should that change now?" he retorted, still unimpressed.

Sarah and her family did their best to fight back while the others handled Mousey and his forces but even so, neither side was gaining any quarter nor gaining advantage as the battle dragged on. It seemed as though they reached a stalemate in their gruelling duel until...

"DAGH!" grunted Mousey, being attacked unexpectedly by a blur that charged and jumped him before he was scarred in the face, his left cheek having three claw marks on them which got his partners' attention.

"Master!" Steelix and Salazzle gasped in shock, seeing Mousey holding his left cheek as it started to bleed from his new scars and he continued to grunt in pain.

"AH!"

"YEOW!"

"GYKE!" Melania, Hakins, and Wolf cried in pain, getting claw marks on their faces from their left or right cheeks from three more blurs that attacked them while they weren't looking before they and the first blur regrouped to reveal Wild, Rory, Leo, and Shade standing on guard and barring the villains getting close to Sarah.

"Nyot so fast!" Wild screeched as Hakins, Wolf, Mousey, and Melania finally saw the perpetrators responsible for attacking them.

"Darling, those little creatures! Baby!"

"Honey, the Cat Pack!" Sarah's real grandparents called in alarm, getting Sarah's attention and directing her towards Wild and his friends which Blitz, Curly, and Silvally also noticed and became shocked by what they saw.

"Wild! What are you doing, this is NOT a good idea!"

"Get out of here!"

"Are you crazy?!"

"You rascals don't have any idea how powerful they really are against pint-sized hairballs such as you!" they shouted, only getting reassuring smirks from the Cat Pack.

"Yeah? Well, thanks to our friend's Pup Tags, we brought a little power of our own," smiled Rory as the four kittens showed off their Kitten Tags.

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! Very showy, but what can you kitties do with only pet accessories?" Melania laughed in disbelief, she and the stooges (who were also laughing) feeling doubtful that the Cat Pack would put up a fight with them and getting a knowing smirk from Wild.

"You just watch! Ready, team?"

"Yeah!" Rory, Shade, and Leo concurred as they and Wild activated their Kitten Tags while they glowed before they immediately shouted, "Cat Pack Power!"

Then, without warning, the Cat Pack obtained Power Suits and their own vehicles (having also been summoned by them as Dr. Quest also designed their Kitten Tags to have both their gear and vehicles brought to them once their tags were activated). Everyone watched in shock and astonishment as Wild and his friends were geared up and ready for battle:

Wild's actual Cat Pack was orange with Black Spots decorating the sides; Shade's Cat Pack had black spots on the sides as well but hers was purple; Rory's Cat Pack instead was black with white stripes; and finally, Leo's Cat Pack was yellow with orange stripes. All of them had paw print emblems of the same colors they proudly wore but they were actually containers holding parts of their uniforms including their leg braces and their helmets.

But, what's interesting and distinct about the four kittens that distinguished them from the PAW Patrol is that the Cat Pack team each represented an actual cat species; Wild represents the fastest cat on land - the African Cheetah yet Shade took inspiration from her preferred cat species, the African Jaguar. Rory instead proudly represented the White Siberian Tiger and Leo proudly stands in for his favorite species, the African Lion.

Their Power Suits reflected the animals they've represented as well; Wild's suit was bright orange with yellow areas coupled with an orange helmet that had faded yellow spots and an orange visor, Rory's suit was pure white but with grey areas and black stripes while she wore a helmet that shared her stripes and a blue visor to top it off, Shady's suit instead was purple with black jaguar spots along with a purple helmet sporting those same spots and a blue visor, and finally, Leo's suit was yellow with stripes of a darker yellow shade, his helmet having one part representing the nose of an actual lion at the front and he shared the blue visor from Shade's suit.

"Power of the Cheetah!"

"Power of the White Tiger!"

"Power of the Jaguar!"

"Power of the Lion!" the Cat Pack shouted via a Ninja Storm-inspired roll call before they tapped their Kitten Tags and said, "Activate: Cat Power Runners!"

The Zord-like vehicles they brought with them became operational following their voice command when their headlights flashed and their systems started and the morphed kittens quickly jumped into them, the heroes being even more stunned to see that they represented the "Big Cats" their powers were inspired from:

- Wild's Cheetah Sprinter was a motorized trike that had a speed booster and gripper claws

- Rory's Tiger Rush is more of a white and light blue and black-striped sports car that had clawed tire caps

- Shade's Jaguar Speeder is also a sports car but with a black and purple coloration that had a purple tail popping out the back, capable of picking up and throwing things from nearby while also acting as her vehicle's primary means of self-defense.

- Leo's Lion Hummer shared the tail at the back of it but rather than the black and purple coloration, the car had a lion-like appearance with its yellow paint scheme and a lion-like face for the front which allowed it to bite at anything within the runner's reach

"Cheetah Sprinter/Tiger Rush/Jaguar Speeder/Lion Hummer, ready!" the Cat Pack finished, standing tall with their vehicles at the ready before they started fighting back as best they could with them at hand.

The heroes and villains were in shock to see Wild and his friends fighting seamlessly against the brainwashed dragons and Mousey, Hakins, and Wolf's partners yet Darkrai and Lothor along with Ivanka and Dusknoir looked on with intrigue. None of them had ever seen a group of normal-like animals like the Cat Pack fight back as they did and while their fellow Sins were getting shocked and flustered as they tried to gain ground, Wild and his friends pushed back just as hard against them despite their greater numbers.

"Nice try, lamebrains, but your new costumes and toy cars aren't going to save you now! Houndoom, Tyranitar, give these insolent hairballs a taste of your undaunting power!" Wolf spat, sending out his Tyranitar to do battle with the Cat Pack.

Leo just smirked at the oncoming Armor Pokemon as he charged first while he roared, "Lion Strength! Roar!"

With that call, his Power Suit (fused with Lion DNA as well) and his vehicle's lights shone brightly as it gave off the roar of a male lion before it then jumped and its jaws opened. Without warning, it clamped down on a shocked Tyranitar's head and brought it down to the ground hard, stunning Wolf and his Houndoom as they balked at the unexpected attack from Leo while he tossed the Rock Pokemon to the side.

"WHAT?!"

"Tyranitar!"

"Nice one, Leo!"

"Wonderful!" James and Nikki cheered, trying to control their amazement while everyone else looked on in disbelief.

"If you like that, here's this! Tail Swing, now!" Shade boomed, cutting the evil Dark Hound Pokemon off and making him drop his guard as her vehicle reared up on its back wheels and its tail swished about before she swerved in front of him, thus tripping him up and falling to the ground before he was paralyzed by Twilight.

"HOUNDOOM!" screamed Wolf, shocked beyond belief on seeing the Cat Pack take down his partners effortlessly.

"Grrr...! Alright, you, that does it!" Mousey snarled, bringing out Areodactyl to bolster himself, Salazzle, and his Dragons. "Aerodactyl, Salazzle, get those meddlesome kittens before they ruin everything!"

"Got it, boss!" Areodactyl saluted before he and Salazzle attacked the Cat Pack this time.

"Come on, Leo!" Wild ordered, seeing the Fossil and Poison Lizard Pokemon charging at him, Leo, Shade, and Rory.

"Right! Cheetah Speed!" Leo nodded, he and Wild double-teaming as they circled around the evil Pokemon pair, the former's glowing as its Cheetah DNA activated and he went faster while Wild broke off.

Seeing that they managed to get Salazzle and Aerodactyl dizzy, Wild looked to Rory and shouted, "Now, Rory!"

"Tiger Claws, go!" Rory bellowed, activating and extending her Tiger Rush's front steel claws. "My turn, Leo!"

"All yours!" Leo smirked again, driving off and letting Rory drive forward, jump up, and slam into Mousey's partners as she sent them flying to the trees with their stomachs showing clear wounds from her car's claws.

"Yeah! Cat Pack Power!" Wild, Leo, Rory, and Shade cheered as they regrouped and prepared to fight again, leaving Gladion and his Pokemon impressed by their combined power and teamwork.

"Why, you little-! GET THEM, GET THOSE PESKY POWER CATS!" Melania snapped as she and Team Eclipse started to become annoyed by the Cat Pack before she commanded a Singetail to attack them.

But, the brainwashed Singetail wasn't able to get a hit on them as Sarah immediately intervened by pulling out a Fire Dinosaur Card and summoning Zalkia, her new Indominous Rex (now starting to cooperate with the heroes after working on her for the past couple of days since her capture). The mind-controlled dragon was smacked back after Zalkia swung her tail at it, causing it to roar at her before she showed her dominance by roaring back in its face and glaring at it in the eye, forcing it to let out a cat's frightened yowl and run with its tail between its legs.

"Inconceivable!?"

"The Indominous Rex, how?!"

"It's working for the princess now!" Wolf, Hakins, and Mousey cried in disbelief, seeing Zalkia's unparalleled power as a major hurdle.

"Bet you weren't expecting us to use our new aces!" Race smirked as he and Sarah summoned Chomp, Munch, Nessie, and Guru and they got to work pummeling the brainwashed dragons attacking their family.

"ARGH, DAMN! What now, old man? Our forces will be wiped out!" Katzenberg seethed with fury to Lothor.

"One thing I've learned from the Power Rangers: Always have a Plan B," Lothor reassured, taking out a wand from his right pocket.

Gasping in shock as they realized what he was about to do, Sarah and Race were forced to call back their dinosaurs and return them to their cards before Lothor could cast the Imperius Curse on them.


Meanwhile, after arriving in Oceanside City via one of the Quest Jets known as the Dragonfly, the Quest Team had checked into the same hotel their target party had checked in days before as they prepared to meet up with the princess and her family and friends. Needless to say, Jonny, Hadji, Race, Bandit, and Dr. Quest were equally excited and eager to meet Sarah and her family and friends and get a close look at their Pokemon, dinosaurs, dragons, and mythicals. Little did they know that their soon-to-be new friends were in danger and they were about to run in the middle of the crossfire between the heroes and Team Eclipse.

"Wow, so this is Oceanside City!" gasped Hadji in amazement as they gathered their stuff and prepared to find Sarah, her family, and her friends via their Hover Sleds.

"Yeah, I wish we could take a bit of time off to enjoy the sun, surf, and sand after we find Sarah and meet her family and friends!" Jonny agreed with Bandit barking excitedly, voicing his eagerness to meet their new friends.

"So do I, Jonny, but let's not forget that we're to meet up with them to help her friends with their training," Dr. Quest reminded as Race had finished prepping the Hover Sleds (three in total with Race and Dr. Quest using one each and Hadji, Jonny, and Bandit sharing a Hover Sled). "Let's hope we can find them first before Team Eclipse gets to them first."

"The Hover Sleds are deployed and ready to roll, Doctor," Race announced.

Suddenly, Jonny heard a beeping sound coming from his Commu-Com Watch on his left wrist as it picked up a strange signal before the same happened with Hadji, Race, and Dr. Quest's Commu-Com Watches.

"Dad, Race, my Commu-Com Watch is picking up something!"

"Mine, too!" Jonny and Hadji noted, seeing their watches' lights flashing.

"I hear ya, Boys! My watch is also acting up, what do you think it means, Doctor?" Race asked, seeing his own watch reacting as its own signal light flashed on and off.

"It looks like there's a high level of energy coming from somewhere around us and it looks like it's coming from the forest bordering the city!" Dr. Quest informed as he checked the energy readings from the signal on his watch and looked on a digital map from the watch's GPS. "The reading's coming at a clear in the middle of the forest and it's far off the scale!"

"Dr. Quest, look! I'm seeing four signals that look familiar to us according to those paw prints!" Hadji pointed out, also checking his watch's GPS and getting the same thing as Dr. Quest did on his own map before four signal marks featuring cat paws (each of them displayed in purple, yellow, white, and orange designating them to be Shade, Leo, Rory, and Wild). "Do you think it could be the Cat Pack if those marks are them?"

"Whoa! You mean Wild, Rory, Shade, and Leo are at the clearing and they activated their Kitten Tags Dad made, Hadj?" Jonny gasped in disbelief before the Quest Team heard a loud roar coupled with a plume of fire (courtesy of Drogon) shooting from the forest and into the sky. "Hey, was that a string of fire there?!"

"What happened?" gasped Hadji as a frightened Bandit yelped and whimpered and hid between Jonny's legs.

"Sounds like trouble, Doctor, Boys! We're due for some action and our problems are just getting started!" Race said, getting the feeling that something was terribly wrong.

"You're right, Race, we must get over there and find out what's happened! Come on, Boys, let's take the Hover Sleds and get there on the double!" Dr. Quest nodded, getting on a Hover Sled with Race occupying the second.

"Yes, Sir! Come on, Bandit!"

"Yes. Dr. Quest!" Jonny and Hadji agreed, getting on the third Hover Sled with Bandit as they zoomed off to find Sarah, her family, and her friends, praying that it was not too late.


"Flipendo Maxima!" Tsukumaro screamed, firing a supercharged Flipendo spell at the grunts and Poke-X Mechas while working in tangent with Sarah who was firing at the brainwashed dragons with the Beast-X King Ultra Bow.

Despite everyone's best efforts to stop Team Eclipse and hold their attacking captives at bay, they were slowly being overwhelmed as this time, the Alola Pokemon syndicate had greater numbers to back up their bolstered force in their final push to stop them before they reached Doug and Delilah. The princess was hurt to know that she and her family and friends were forced to fight other dragons that were nothing but victims in her fallen uncle and his syndicate's latest ploy and she knew her dragons along with Feathers, Wu and Wei, and Thunder were not taking it easy as well. Regardless, they knew they had to keep fighting for the sake of freeing the brainwashed captives under the Imperious Curse and to prevent any more victims from being created just to take Sarah down.

"Sarah! The dragons are still attacking!"

"They're not stopping!"

"We can't get them to snap out of their trance!"

"They're still coming at us no matter what we do to stop them!"

"They aren't backing off!"

"They just keep coming!"

"What are we gonna do?!" Ash, Pikachu, Camo, Celestia, Zephyr, Andres, Tai Lung, and Amber shouted.

It seemed as though hope was slowly being lost for the heroes as they continued to be pummeled by Lothor's bolstered forces and with Team Eclipse at full strength with all of the Seven Sins together. And, this was being proven when Sophocles and Lana clashed with Hakins' Camerupt and Mousey's Salazzle (who managed to use a Revive and Super Potion the latter had on him) this time and the evil Pokemon fired back with Venom Drench and Flamethrower, blasting the pair to the ground and destroying their weapons in the process as they were forced to demorph.

"Sophocles, Lana!" Mallow cried in horror as she saw two of her best friends taken down.

"Someone's starting to slack off!" sneered Melania, a vicious smirk on her face as she commanded her brainwashed Singetail to attack again, striking her, Flygon, her Shaymin, and Tsareena, sending them crashing into Kiawe and Ash along with their partners, Charizard, and Garchomp.

"Mallow, you alright?!" gasped Ash as they helped their companions up.

"We're fine!"

"This is getting crazy!"

"Heads up, Kiawe, guys! It's gonna get worse!" Pyroar buzzed, seeing Steelix preparing to use Hyper Beam on them.

"He's gonna hit us!" Charizard cried in alarm.

"That's Hyper Beam!"

"Too late!" Flygon and Garchomp shouted.

"Uh-oh, LOOK OUT!" Kiawe warned.

But, it was too late; before they could react and dodge in time, Steelix immediately fired his Hyper Beam attack and it immediately struck them, causing a major explosion. The blast was so powerful that it also destroyed their weapons and blew them back to their friends and their own Pokemon, forcing them to demorph, all five of them and their partners badly wounded from being overpowered by their enemies.

"NO!" shrieked Lillie as she saw what happened, she and Snowy barely being saved by Gladion and his Pokemon along with Altaria before they were attacked but not without her Beast-X Fox Saber being destroyed as well.

"Ash!" Gladion exclaimed.

"Sorry, Little Miss Pretty, but you meddling kids had this coming for a long time," smirked Katzenberg darkly with a snigger as he and Spiritomb along with their brainwashed dragons and grunts have the remaining pair and their Pokemon surrounded. "You see, Lillie, you and your friends are not the only ones who have learned a thing or two from your past battles. Now, Alola and the world will be ours again and the Last Royal Family will be history..."

"You will not touch her or Sarah!" Gladion hissed as he and his Pokemon and Altaria prepared to fight again.

"And, now, you will pay for your INSOLENCE-!

"Not quite, Ghost Boy!" shouted a man's voice in response.

There, charging at the group from their left or right was Race Bannon himself; charging through the trees and bushes and into the clearing, he jumped off of his Hover Sled and punched two of the grunts surrounding Lillie, Gladion, and their Pokemon in the face, shocking and surprising the villains, their Pokemon, the grunts, and their brainwashed dragons with his quick arrival. They were even more shocked when they saw Dr. Quest, Jonny, Hadji, and Bandit arriving at the scene to help out the heroes that were losing ground against the villains but the Cat Pack were ecstatic to see what are actually the very friends they once alluded to prior.

"Jonny, Bandit!"

"Dr. Quest, meow wow!"

"Hadji!"

"Yeah! Go, Race!" Wild, Rory, Leo, and Shade cheered, seeing the Quest Team before the group.

"Wh-?! Wait, could it be...?" gasped Rotom-Dex in shock as he floated next to Donna (former queen), David, Nikki, and James and saw Race, Jonny, Hadji, Dr. Quest, and Bandit joining in the fray.

"Wild, Rory, Shade, Leo!" Adult Race cried as he and the Quest Team saw the Cat Pack once they outwitted and took out several more grunts and joined them.

"Are you kittens alright?" Dr. Quest asked.

"Much better nyeow that you're here!" Rory smiled.

"We are but I don't know about our new friends over there!" Leo agreed, immediately pointing to Mallow, Sophocles, Ash, Kiawe, and Lana as they squirmed in pain along with their Pokemon while Lillie, Gladion, Silvally, Umbreon, Gladion's Lycanroc, and Altaria along with Sarah and Teenage Race rushed over to see if they're badly hurt.

"Looks like you'll need us more than ever to get you out of this little box!" Race replied.

"But, how are we gonna do that after coming here alone? Those freak shows have us boxed in!" reminded Shade, recognizing their current predicament.

"Who said we came here alone, Shade?" smirked Jonny. "We also met some friends who know about those guys!"

"Friends?" Wild asked.

Hadji smiled, "We came with them!"

On the Indian boy's cue, once he pointed to another bundle of brush and trees, a familiar team of Power Rangers reappeared to help save the Ultra Rescue Rangers from their latest predicament; first, multi-colored projections of various animals showed up and started attacking Team Eclipse, the grunts, and the brainwashed dragons in full force as they got them away from the heroes before them which are animal spirits. The heroes were in shock when they saw the animal spirits protecting them including a golden lion, a green chameleon, a yellow cheetah, a blue jaguar, a red tiger, a purple and white wolf, a white rhino, a green and black elephant, a purple bat, and a light blue shark.

The Ultra Rescue Rangers, in particular, were stunned to see the animal spirits their familiar with and wondered how they came to Oceanside City. They soon got their answer as the Legendary Ranger team that saved them came into the fray; ten rangers in total stood proudly together as they showed themselves from the brush and the trees - the main three in red, blue, and yellow, two others joining them being in white and purple, another pair being gold and black and green, and the final trio in green, light blue, and black, all of them ready for battle.

"Who are you!?"

"What are you doing?!" bellowed a shocked Ivanka and Melania.

"You've ruined our moment of glory!" Katzenberg spat, infuriated.

"And, you are...?" Lothor asked calmly, seeing that things are getting complicated.

"With the strength of a tiger! Jungle Fury Red Ranger!"

"With the stealth of a jaguar! Jungle Fury Blue Ranger!"

"With the speed of a cheetah! Jungle Fury Yellow Ranger!"

"With the courage of a wolf! Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger!"

"With the power of a rhino! Jungle Fury Rhino Ranger!"

"With the Spirit of a Mighty Lion! Jarrod!"

"With the cunning of a chameleon! Camille!"

"With the Spirit of a Bat! Jungle Fury Bat Ranger!"

"With the Spirit of a Shark! Jungle Fury Shark Ranger!"

"With the Spirit of an Elephant! Jungle Fury Elephant Ranger!"

"We summon the animal spirits from within! Power Rangers Jungle Fury!" declared the intruders, revealed to be the Jungle Fury Rangers (Casey, Lily, and Theo being in their Jungle Master forms while Masters Phant, Swoop, and Finn were in their Spirit Ranger forms) amidst a series of back explosions to signify their latest return to battle.

"No way... No way, I MUST BE DREAMING! Jungle Fury Rangers, Spirit Rangers, Jarrod and Camille, Casey, Lily, and Theo-AH! I'M OVER THE MOON!" Liberty shrieked with excitement from her location with the other bystanders.

"GAH! The Jungle Fury Rangers!?"

"But, that's impossible!" Katzenberg, and Melania cried in shock and alarm.

"That's true what you said about us just now! But, once a ranger..." began Casey.

"...Always a ranger!" he and the others finished proudly.

"Casey, Lily, Theo, R.J., Dom, Jarrod, Camille!"

"Master Phant, Master Finn, Master Swoop!" Sarah and Lillie gasped in awe and disbelief over their arrival.

"Are those the legendary Jungle Fury Power Rangers we've been hearing about?" gasped Gladion in stunned awe.

"Yeah, it's them! The ranger team responsible for destroying Dai Shi and his forces, we told you!" Lillie smiled, relieved that help had come in the form of their old Legendary Ranger friends and their masters.

"How did you find out about us?" Tai Lung questioned.

"My Bat Spirit detected a strange evil energy and presence that forebodes a grim fight that laid ahead for you, we're thankful to have arrived in time to help you but it looks like we're a little late," Master Swoop told his pupil, the others looking towards the five wounded Ultra Rescue Rangers and feeling Lillie, her, Race, and Gladion being the only ones left standing.

"We figured Team Eclipse was going to do something crazy to get rid of you once they came back into the fray so we worked out where you were going after your tussle in Adventure City," Lily added.

"Then, followed you all the way here to Oceanside City and hung up with Dr. Quest and his family in the process," Theo put in.

"And, a good thing, too! You guys were put under the winger there before we and the Quest Team came along!" Dom said in agreement. "Don't worry, though; we've gotten out of sticky situations like this before so how should this be any different?"

"Not that we want to get used to it," R.J. joked.

"But, how did you find out about Lothor and his team with those dragons they have under their control?" Lillie asked hurriedly.

"We'll talk later! Right now, we have to get you guys to safety!" Casey interjected, knowing there's a time for questions later after they make it out alive.

"We're gonna need a little help to get those fools out of your hair before you can fight them again," informed Camille, she and the others already planning a diversion to shield the heroes and their escape.

"But, how?" Sarah continued, unsure.

"Urgh, not only have the Quest Team arrived to ruin our fun with those meddling brats but the Power Rangers Jungle Fury have the nerve to come here and ruin everything just when we had things under control." seethed Ivanka, not liking where things were going for them now before she turned to Lothor. "What now, love?"

"Hmph, a pair of minor annoyances, simply put. Dr. Zin made it clear that whenever he's involved with anything that could give him the power to eclipse his rival scientists, Dr. Quest being his greatest," Lothor scoffed, not fazed by what he was witnessing before him. "I suppose it was only a matter of time before he and his family will realize that Zin's pulling the strings of this operation with us this time."

He then turned to Lillie, Sarah, Teenage Race, and Gladion as they gathered their wounded friends and their Pokemon together, "But, given what we've managed to accomplish during this time, let's just say our enemies, my mother and father, and my niece have got their work cut out for them."

"Are you all this Lothor and Team Eclipse we've been hearing about along with everyone else?" Dr. Quest asked, turning his angry gaze to Lothor.

"That's right; originally known as Donald Tomoe, former first prince and firstborn son to the old king and queen of the Last Royal Family: David and Donna Tomoe."

"Good. And so, eventually, we got to meet the ones responsible for not only destroying the Alolan Royal Hierarchy five hundred years ago but also the one who's out to reclaim the throne for himself after he failed to take down his own niece. What you thought of when you tried to commit your crime against her and all of Alola, that's a matter of opinion and your opinion doesn't matter."

"You're off your rocker if you're having an ongoing grudge match with Princess Sarah. Did you pull this off just to put her on the chopping block for your so-called return to glory?" Race added suspiciously.

"Hmph, of course, why else would my crew and I be working to get what I wanted? My old parents were fools to saddle the throne with my weak little brother and the former love of my life that he stole from me behind my back and they made it all the more worse for me when that little wench came into my former family. Now, listen, the little girl before you is the biggest threat to my plans to retake Alola and achieve world domination to show everyone that I will be the greatest prince the planet has ever known and to have all who oppose my power bow down before me. And, my syndicate and I will do everything we can to ensure that destiny is at hand."

"But, you fools won't live long enough to see our boss do the impossible and achieve his lifelong dream, having us to share in his glory with him. Steelix, see those two boys with those rats? Crush them!" Mousey continued, then ordering Steelix to attack Jonny and Hadji once he caught sight of them.

"Race, the boys!" Dr. Quest shouted, alarmed.

"Jonny, Hadji, look out!" Race screamed, alerting Jonny and Hadji to their attacker.

Seeing what was about to happen to Jonny, Hadji, and Bandit (who turned to see Steelix in front of them getting closer as he roared at them as he opened his mouth), the Night Lights and Starlight gasped and quickly dashed forward and grabbed them just in time before Steelix used his Crunch attack on them. Steelix tried to use Crunch on Dr. Quest and Adult Race instead once he has his sights set on them but Skystorm and Flystorm reacted faster as they managed to reach the pair and quickly grab them out of harm's way, making the evil Iron Snake Pokemon miss them as well and crashing headfirst into the ground eating dirt.

"STEELIIIIIIX! YOU BLOCKHEADED MORON!" Mousey screamed, pulling his hair in aggravation.

"GRR, ARGH! You meddlesome LIZARDS!" Steelix grunted at the dragons in fury and humiliation, shaking off the dirt on his face from his failed Crunch attacks.

"That was close!"

"Too close! Thanks, we owe ya guys one," Hadji and Jonny replied to each other before the latter thanked the dragons for saving their skins.

The Night Lights chirped 'You're Welcome' to Jonny before the Cat Pack drove over to the Quest Team after they were regrouped following their near miss with Mousey's Steelix.

"Meow wow, you guys sure took your time getting here," Wild joked with a smile.

"Sorry, Wild. Had a bad hair day to sort out before coming here," Adult Race joked back.

"We were right, it was your Kitten Tags I made for you that we've picked up upon entering Oceanside City," Dr. Quest smiled in relief. "Thank goodness you're all okay, are any of you hurt?"

"Just peachy, Doctor! Besides, we're much tougher than we look thanks to you!" Leo smirked. "The new Cat Runners and Power Suits you guys and Hard Rock made for us with our tags worked out great!"

Dr. Quest nodded to the kittens, "I'm glad to hear that."

"Not so fast!" bellowed Steelix, looking really angry now as the evil Pokemon regrouped.

"Nobody's going anywhere!" Camerupt added defiantly.

Steelix tried to go for Jonny, Hadji, the Night Lights, the Cat Pack, and Starlight again but Drogon and Zephyr cut him off with a combined fire breath that left the Steel Type with a serious Burn condition. "AAAAAGH! THE PAIN!"

"You're no longer our concern at this rate!"

"Touch them again and we'll drown you in our flames!" Drogon and Zephyr spat back, opening their frills to look more intimidating.

"We all know where this is going the moment we took care of those arrogant children! Give the princess to us, numbskulls, or her pathetic excuses for bodyguards will die in our next assault!" Wolf threatened.

"Wolf! Your battle is with us this time!" Casey barked as he and his friends, Jarrod, Camille, Dom, and RJ prepared to fight with Adult Race joining them.

"We'll take you on now but leave Princess Sarah and her friends out of this!" the former Intelligence-1 agent agreed.

"Race, don't be a fool! You and the Jungle Fury Rangers are going up against an armada of dragons and their Pokemon, you won't have a chance against them even if you do hold out!" Dr. Quest objected to Adult Race.

"We don't have much choice, Doctor. None of us has a chance right now given the circumstances but I'd rather do anything than wait for the end," Adult Race reassured. "I'll see if we can hold them off long enough for you all and Sarah to escape!"

Before long, the two sides clashed again as Aerodactyl and Salazzle tried to take a shot but Zephyr cut them off as well as she smacked her tail and sent them flying into Tyranitar and the evil Houndoom. Sarah and Teen Race rejoined the fight as they, Bella, Robbie, Blitz, and Curly along with Athena and Solar struck down the grunts and brainwashed dragons trying to take potshots at Lillie and Gladion with the Bio Lion Talon and the Beast-X King Ultra Bow.

"Sarah, go! Get your family out of here, quickly!" Casey shouted, knocking the grunts back with his Jungle Chucks before he kicked two more in front of him down.

"We got these creeps! Take the Cat Pack and the Quest Team with you, Camille, Jarrod, and our masters will hold the rear while you make a break for it!" added Lily, swinging her Jungle Bo and bashing and tripping the grunts attacking her up.

"My friends, I can't-!" Sarah protested.

"We got them, just focus on getting yourselves out of here and to safety!"

"We'll take care of these clowns, your friends are in good hands as long as we're around!"

"Go, now! We'll hold them off!" Theo, Adult Race, and Dom retorted knowingly as they took down their own grunts with the Blue and Rhino Rangers knocking back with their Jungle Tonfas and Rhino Morpher.

"There's nothing you can do for now, Sarah! We'll be fine, go!" R.J. encouraged, clashing with a few more grunts before he tossed another to the side.

Sarah looked between the Jungle Fury Rangers and her friends, feeling conflicted as to what she should do in the meantime; it hurts her badly to leave her friends hanging after the beating they took and she couldn't help but feel she and he family were responsible for putting them in such a predicament by not doing enough to help them in their training. But, she knew Adult Race and the Jungle Fury Rangers were right; this was out of her hands and she had to focus on her survival and that of her family while they concern themselves with her friends.

Without much choice, the princess sent her Beast-X King Ultra Bow back to the Pokemon School Command Center and opened a pouch large enough for Rotom-Dex to fit inside as she prepared to make her escape.

"Rotom, come on! Let's go!" she called to the living Pokedex.

"Got it!" Rotom-Dex replied, quickly stuffing himself inside while she rendevouzed with the rest of the Quest Team, the Cat Pack, and her family while Camille, Jarrod, Master Swoop, Master Finn, and Master Phant prepared to cover their escape.

"Lillie, Gladion, go with the Jungle Fury Rangers! The others are your responsibility!" Sarah called to the two siblings.

"But, what about you?" Lillie inquired worriedly.

"You're crazy, Sarah!" Gladion shouted.

"I'll be okay, just go and get out of here!"

Without much choice on their end, Lillie and Gladion nodded reluctantly and they went to join Adult Race and the Jungle Fury Rangers in giving their common enemies the slip while they regroup in two opposite directions to work out a new plan of attack and to figure out what to do in the meantime. This was their biggest loss against Team Eclipse and they had to admit that Lothor and his syndicate had their team beat when they took out Ash, Mallow, Sophocles, Lana, Kiawe, and their Pokemon and destroyed their weapons in the process. There was nothing they can do for now so their only option, if bittersweet for them to even think about, was to retreat to safety and hope for the best.

Seeing his girlfirend preparing to retreat and joining the remaining Pai Zhuq Masters in helping to cover their retreat, Race switched his Bio Lion Talon from Fang Mode to Gatling Mode before firing at the ground around the brainwashed dragons and Mousey, Wolf, Hakins, Katzenberg, and their evil Pokemon while Master Phant, Master Finn, and Master Swoop unleashed their animal spirits to take Lothor, Melania, Ivanka, and their own partners by surprise and knock them off their dragons, giving the heroes enough time to get to safety and out of danger from two fronts as arranged haphazardly.

"Let's go!" shouted Master Phant as the heroes still standing made a run for it. "Come on!"

"Now, Raven!" Sarah exclaimed to her Demon Wolf.

"Right!" she nodded as she used her powers to teleport her group to safety.

On their end, Adult Race and the Jungle Fury Rangers regrouped with Lillie, Gladion, and their Pokemon with the wounded Mallow, Kiawe, Ash, Lana, and Sophocles once their enemies were distracted. Harnessing their animal spirits, Casey, Lily, Theo, R.J., and Dom made their getaway with their young friends in two, thus leaving Team Eclipse in the dust.

When Lothor and his syndicate finally got their bearings and the smoke cleared, his "niece" and their enemies were nowhere to be found; Sarah, her family and friends, the Quest Team, the Cat Pack, and the Jungle Fury Rangers and their masters had all given them the slip.

"Boss, those kids and the princess AND our Primal Pokemon!"

"They're gone!"

"Where'd they go?!"

"...NOOOOOOOO!?" Melania screeched in frustration, screaming at the sky and holding out her fists in frustration before she pounded the ground.

"FOOLS! You let them escape!" Katzenberg barked furiously at Wolf, Hakins, Mousey, their Pokemon and the brainwashed dragons. "Those treacherous rangers and their pesky cats and the Quest Team can't do this, WE HAD THEM!"

"Well, don't just stand there looking like dumb-bots, you buffoons! Search everywhere and don't stop until you find the princess and hunt those broken kids of hers down, my love wants her alive!" Ivanka snapped, ordering her and Lothor's lowers to find Sarah and her friends immediately.

"...I'll see you again, child," mused Lothor, giving an unimpressed and unfazed scoff as he stared at the spot where his "niece" once stood.


After making their escape to a small remote island where they can recover and hide out for a bit, while Camille, Jarrod, Master, Phant, Master Swoop, and Master Finn along with Jonny, Hadji, Bandit, and Dr. Quest made sure everyone gathered in their group was unharmed, Sarah and whatever Pokemon, dragons, and mythicals with her were lamenting over their big defeat which contributed to the beatdown her friends got from Team Eclipse.

"Oh, it's not the same without the rest of the gang," moaned Tigamer, feeling miserable over having to leave Ash and the others behind.

"Our gal and her fellow rangers are a current team of eight, not a solo act or a party of two," agreed Staguar, sharing Tigermar's misery.

"They were all fighting so well with us and one moment, they were with us before Team Eclipse unleashed their largest attack on us to date. The next, they were taken out hard when they least expected it... And, not only did they paid the price for it, I was completely oblivious to their plight until it was too late," Sarah sighed miserably, feeling bad for what had happened to her friends after she was forced to part from them.

Sokka and Zorro felt a little guilty as they approached Sarah and the Shiny Samurott admitted, "We shouldn't have been so harsh on them during their training earlier this morning, Princess. I think we got the feeling that from our admonishment towards them, while we were doing our best to help them, we didn't make things any better for your friends..."

Zorro couldn't help but sigh sadly as he agreed, "I guess we should've taken more time to develop a new training session that encompasses everything they know about their own unique fighting styles and become more understanding of them..."

"You did your best but in the end, it wasn't enough and it only served to put them down even more without us realizing it," the princess replied, shaking her head at them. "None of us were any better in what we said to them when they didn't make much progress, we should've taken a different approach to help them improve..."

"You can't blame yourselves. Lothor and Team Eclipse were bound to exploit that huge weakness of theirs at any minute and none of us knew they were going to take advantage of that the next time we cross paths with them," Blossom reassured, concerned.

"If it h-h-h-had been the o-o-other way a-a-around and you were s-s-slacking off on your t-t-t-training, you would've been w-w-worse off c-c-compared to your f-f-f-f-friends," Donka stated.

"True. If you'd been in their shoes and thus switched roles had things been any different then, we would've given you an earful," Terrakion chuckled reassuringly.

Sarah sighed again as she just told them, "I know you're all trying to make us feel better but that's only going to happen when the others are back in action."

"How are we going to do that? That armada of brainwashed dragons is unlike anything we've faced from Team Eclipse so far and if we're going to free them and make Lothor and his creeps lose their army, we'll need an antidote to Deathgripper Venom used on them," Race reminded, he and her real grandparents joining them.

"And, let's not forget what happened to your friends when they dropped their guard after Lothor and his friends took them by surprise, baby," Donna (former queen) interjected.

"I'm also afraid to say it but he's not going to rest until you and your mother and father are dead by his hand personally," agreed a worried David as Liberty (once she was done fangirling over the Jungle Fury Rangers' masters and allies), a worried-looking Raven, Nikki, and James came in to join them.

"That's all very well and good but mind mapping out where we are right now?" Liberty questioned.

"Yeah, it looks like we're a long way off from Oceanside City," added Nikki.

"Raven, what happened? I thought we were going to someplace safe or back to the hotel," James inquired to Raven.

"We were, but under the circumstances... I knew once Team Eclipse eventually followed us after picking up a trail we've left as we made our escape, we couldn't stay so I brought us here but I must've flubbed up our intended destination," fretted Raven.

Sarah quickly activated her Wrist Com and brought up the map stored with its systems as she found out, "From the looks of it, I'd say we're on a remote island that's a short distance away from Greenland or the Norwegian Sea."

"What?! You mean, Raven had to teleport us all the way out of the US and into European territory in a blind panic to get away from Lothor?" Ella panicked.

"Aww, man! I can't believe we got ourselves jacked up in the middle of nowhere!" groaned Vhager.

"Now, what are we going to do? Thanks to Lothor and Team Eclipse, we've been set back from reaching Sarah's parents by miles and one country!" moaned Anga, exasperated as she rested on Race's head.

"Oh, this just isn't our day," agreed Piplup as he held and rubbed his head in annoyance.

"Well, look on the bright side; at least you're not alone and you can share in your misery and pain with us," Hadji smiled as he, Jonny, Dr. Quest, and the Cat Pack came to the group.

"Yeah, we know how you guys feel so how can you possibly be bummed out when you can do something about it," Jonny agreed.

"We're just glad you're all okay. You must be Princess Sarah a friend of ours from Washington D.C. told us about, correct?" Dr. Quest put in, beginning the introductions.

"Yes, Sir," Sarah nodded as she shook hands with Jonny's dad.

"Pleasure to meet you and your family as well as the allies and mentors of you and your friends' Power Ranger predecessors, the Power Rangers Jungle Fury. I'm Dr. Quest and this is my son, Jonny, and his friend, Hadji."

Bandit barked happily to his family's new acquaintances, making Dr. Quest laugh as he included him in the intros, "And, that's my son's dog, Bandit."

"Pleased to make your acquaintance, Dr. Quest. I'm the former king of Alola before my son and daughter-in-law, David Tomoe, and this is my wife, Donna," David smiled as he began to introduce himself and his family, prompting Tsukumaro to join in. "You've already known our granddaughter, Sarah, and these are her adopted parents, the ones that our children entrusted our family's grandchild and only heir to the throne to: Mr. James and Ms. Nikki."

"My name's Race, Race Konami. I'm the Hoenn Battle Frontier Champion from Littleroot Town," Teen Race replied, introducing himself.

"Wow! You're also named Race?" Jonny asked as he and Hadji looked at the BF Champion in awe.

"Our friend who looks after us is also named Race, Race Bannon," Hadji added, noting the Quest family bodyguard.

"Yeah, I guess that'll throw everybody else for a loop," Sarah admitted.

"Gah, phew! Oh, Dr. Benton Quest, it's an honor to meet you! My name's Rotom and I'm Sarah and her friends' personal Pokedex from the Alola Region, at your service," Rotom-Dex introduced, scrambling out of the pouch he was in to meet up with his scientific idol. "I'm a big fan of your works since I've heard much about everything you've done for the good of the world since I discovered your works in whatever records I could look up including the Vertol, Questor 1 and Questor 2, 3-Dac and 4-Dac, the works! You're literally the greatest scientist to ever grace the field of science!"

"Ha-ha-ha-ha! Well, now, I'm honored to meet a fine living Pokemon program such as yourself, Rotom," chuckled Dr. Quest before he frowned, knowing the predicament everyone's currently in. "But, I'm also correct in finding out you're all in a bit of a bind, right?"

Rotom-Dex nodded, "Yes, Sir, Lothor and Team Eclipse have a huge armada of dragons that had been brainwashed through those monsters using Deathgripper Venom and the Imperius Curse to put them under their control and strip them of their free will. With them as a front, they were able to beat our friends and put them in a horrible condition which forced us to leave them when you and the Quest Team, the Cat Pack, the Jungle Fury Rangers, and their masters came just in time to bail us out."

"We'll never be able to thank you enough for coming," Tou-Tou thanked gratefully.

"Huh, I guess you fleabags aren't half bad the way you fight," Silvally admitted to the Cat Pack, impressed. "I gotta say, you did okay..."

"Meow wow!"

"Awesome!"

"You mean it?"

"Nyeow, that's neat!" the Cat Pack cheered from the praise.

"I'm afraid that given their current power with all those dragons at their disposal and since we have no idea regarding where or how we can find or make an antidote or a counter spell for those poor creatures, they'll be under their control for who knows how long," Dr. Quest admitted grimly.

"You mean until there is a cure to be found, we'll be sitting Psyducks?" Star balked in disbelief.

"Not necessarily. As humans always said whenever you're in a pinch, 'when there's a will, there's a way'," Reshiram interjected reassuringly.

"The Dragon of Truth is right, there may be a way to save those dragons and thwart Team Eclipse's latest plan and root out the one responsible for your latest plight into the open. You just haven't found one, yet," Master Phant agreed, he, Master Swoop, and Master Finn joining the group to give their two cents on the matter.

"The answer to your dilemma does exist, Sarah. You have to look inside your heart and listen to it in order to find it," Master Finn nodded in encouragement to the princess.

Sarah looked at Master Phant and Master Finn as she listened and took their advice into consideration, deciding to listen to her heart so it'll tell her what the answer to their current crisis is. Everyone watched in anticipation and with bated breath as she continued to listen to what her heart could be telling her until she opened her eyes and gasped, having been given the answer she needed.

"I know how..."

"So, Sarah, what is your heart telling you?" Jarrod asked warmly.

"If Team Eclipse is looking for me and since Lothor and his cronies used Deathgripper Venom and the Imperius Curse to turn those dragons to the dark side, we'll hide out for a little bit in Berk back at the Barbaric Archipelago!" Sarah informed, realizing what her heart is saying. "Even if they trailed my family and I to know where the dragons in their possession are hiding out in this world during the Dragon Wars, I'm sure Hiccup and his friends will let us stay for a spell at Berk."

"Berk!" the Berkian dragons gasped in realization.

"Of course! One of the Vikings must know how to counter the Deathgripper Venom Lothor and his creeps exploited and make an antidote to give them their free will back if there is one!"

"You're right!" Ruby and Sapphire said.

"That's absolutely perfect! Sarah, don't forget that you also have Deathgrippers in Twilight, her brother, and their kids! You can help the Vikings search for and make an antidote that will nullify the original effects of their venom and allow you to inject it into all those dragons at once or for one group at a time," Rotom-Dex added, seeing where his friends are getting at.

"And, if we can figure out how to make a counterspell and the antidote without having it add to the effects of the venom that will make our enemies' control over our fellow dragons stronger..."

"...We'll break through Team Eclipse's venom and mind control curse..."

"...Hit them where it really hurts..."

"...And, we'll strip them of one less dragon armada!" Mirage, Flo, Big Buff, and Puff finished, knowing what their new plan of action should be.

"I'd also suggest that we give Hiccup and the rest of Berk and his friends the lowdown on Lothor's armada so they'd be ready for when they'll follow us and invade the dragon Viking village, Island Girl," Race reminded, knowing what they should also do to further protect the dragons still living in Hiccup, Zenna, Toothless, and Stryka's world.

"Given our current circumstances, that's a good plan for us to go through," Master Swoop concurred.

"But, what about Race and the Jungle Fury Rangers?"

"Will they be alright on their own along with Sarah's friends?" Jonny and Hadji questioned worriedly.

"Don't worry, boys; whatever happens, I'm sure they'll look after them and they'll be able to handle any threat that should follow them," Dr, Quest comforted as he held Jonny and Hadji.

"It's up to you, baby."

"Do we go to this Berk place or what else should we do first?" asked Donna (former queen) and David to their grandchild.

"...We're going. And, it should be easier to warn the Vikings since they've known and adapted to living alongside dragons for a while now," Sarah decided, surprising her real grandparents and adoptive parents.

"A perfect plan but one problem, Princess. How exactly do you plan to explain to these friends of yours about Jarrod and I and the Jungle Fury Ranger's masters? I'm not sure how they'll also take in the Quest Team and the Cat Pack," Camille warned.

"Ah, it's okay. We've already met a Viking at one point," Jonny noted.

"Yes, and his name was Vikong, a giant warrior ape from we, Dr. Quest, and Race found in the arctic years ago," Hadji confirmed.

"A real Viking-like ape?"

"You're kidding, right?" Solar and Athena balked at the Quest Kids, only for them to shake their heads and get nervous gulps out of both Beast Bots.

"Are you sure it'll be alright for them to involve them in this mess given what they went through months ago with the Dragon Wars and the Red Death, sweetheart?" Nikki inquired.

"I'm sure, they've had plenty of time to be around their dragons ever since we destroyed her and left them in peace to live out their new lives together," Sarah implied simply. "And, if they have any questions, I'll tell them Jarrod, Camile, and the masters are old friends of my gramps and granny and the others, our guests. What they don't know about them and our Legendary Ranger predecessors won't hurt them."

"Ok, Ponchita, if that's how you want to go about it," James relented.

"Let's just hope they buy your little white lies even if it's all according to the most important rule of being a Power Ranger," Rotom-Dex warned gravely, unsure of how the Berk Vikings and their dragon companions will react.

"They will. We should head out as soon as possible if my uncle and his cronies start to hunt us down, now," Sarah replied, everyone agreeing with her as they prepared to head for Berk while the princess looked out to the sea, knowing that her friends will be on their own with only Adult Race and the Jungle Fury Rangers to help them out of their biggest pinch. "Be careful, Lillie, Gladion, Ash, guys, all of you. Just stick together and hold out until we get back..."


Meanwhile, as Sarah's party was making its way to Berk in the hopes of getting assistance from Hiccup, Zenna, their friends, the other Vikings, and their dragon companions, Adult Race, Casey, Dom, Lily, Theo, and R.J. managed to find a safe location away from Team Eclipse and Lothor which is actually Palm Key, the Quest Team's main abode/home. Once they were safe, they, Lillie, Gladion (once short introductions were out of the way), and the siblings' Pokemon began to watch over Ash, Mallow, Lana, Kiawe, Sophocles, and their own Pokemon teams as they recover. Seeing that her group is down to three rangers between herself, Teen Race, and Sarah, Lillie sighed sadly as she and Gladion watched on, their five beaten friends on beds in a star formation in Dr. Quest's medical lab as they showed no signs of waking up soon from the immense pain they're in.

"How could we let this happen to our friends and the Pokemon?" Lillie fretted to her older brother, turning to him as their friends were being tended to.

"We couldn't protect them before they were beaten, it's all our fault," sighed Gladion, feeling defeated.

"Yeah," Snowy squeaked miserably, Umbreon, Silvally, and Lycanroc doing what they can to comfort her.

"No, Lillie, you and your brother did everything you could. Even Sarah did her best along with her boyfriend and everyone else but Lothor and Team Eclipse got the drop on you," the Yellow Jungle Fury Ranger reassured.

"At least you're all safe with us, for now, until Mask Man and his bopsy children decide to come knocking," agreed Adult Race.

"Until then, we'll have to come up with a new plan," Theo added.

"There has to be a way to beat them and stop those dragons before they attack anyone else while under their control, but what?" Casey questioned.

"Somehow, we've got to become stronger and figure out how to stand on our own feet against them before they can take us by surprise," Lillie thought.

"But, how? Your weapons were destroyed," Gladion remarked.

"And, with those brainwashed dragons and Team Eclipse on the loose, you're all thumbs on how to one-up them given their current state of power," R.J. pointed out.

"We'll need a miracle if we're going to put an end to their dragon armada and if somebody's managed to hook up with them to give them their army, we have to find out who's the joker running the joint with them," put in Dom.

"Well, not all of them... We still have these swords Sarah and her godfather found along with the dinosaurs, Flipper, and Flicka back at Dr. Cawthorn's laboratory," Lillie countered, still trying to maintain hope as she brought in the Chromafury Sabers she and the others now own.

Gladion, Adult Race, and the Jungle Fury Rangers blinked in surprise at the sabers, prompting Theo to ask, "What are those things?"

"Sarah called them Chromafury Sabers, they work like the original sabers they were inspired from that belonged to our successors and/or the first-ever Power Rangers team to exist before Koda and the Mighty Morphin Rangers: the Power Rangers Dino Fury," Lillie explained as she presented the sabers on a nearby table.

"Each of them was modeled after our first partners, mine being inspired by Snowy. It made sense because according to Prof. Burnet and Wicke during Ranger History class back home, the Dino Fury Rangers were a group of knights that came to Earth 65,000,000 years ago from a world called Rafkon to stop a swarm of monsters called Sporix from destroying it and they were granted their powers from six supernatural beings called the Morphin Masters in order to do so. Sarah and Tsukumaro found them along with a set of power-ups called Boost Keys and as was the case with the original Boost Keys belonging to the Dino Fury Rangers, they work in tangent with our sabers so as to use their powers in battle when we need them. We don't know why these exist since they could be artificial swords but if they are real, there must be a connection to them, if we could find one."

"A set of six swords belonging to six knights inspired by King Arthur and his Round Table? Lillie, if these weapons can give you kids and your Pokemon an edge against Lothor and his goons and whoever's in cahoots with them regarding those dragons, we may have found a way to keep you in the game," Adult Race smiled.

"Do you think the Dino Fury Rangers might have an idea about those Chromafury Sabers, Race?" Dom questioned.

"Well, we won't know until we look them up. I hope they can give us a hand with our little plight," Adult Race said as they went to one of Dr. Quest's computers in the Quest Lab and did a search as to the current location of the Dino Fury Rangers until they found their current location. "Hmm, it says here that the Dino Fury Rangers are living in a place in California called Pine Ridge."

"Pine Ridge... Wait, that's it! I remember, Commander Shaw once told my friends and I that's where Sarah's Beast-X King Zord, King, is hidden when he's not in our Zord Bay back on Melemele Island! He's just outside of town where Lothor and Team Eclipse can't find him!" Lillie gasped.

"If Pine Ridge is close to Coral Harbor and the Dino Fury Rangers are close to our friends from Grid Battleforce, we can contact both of them at once!" Gladion agreed, seeing where his sister was going. "I also remember hearing that the Dino Fury Rangers also have a Ranger Hotline set up for anybody to call them if there are any Sporix around Pine Ridge!"

"That means we have a way to communicate with them! If we can tap into the hotline and link up with them from here, we can have them help us deal with Team Eclipse and uncover the mystery surrounding those strange Chromafury Sabers," R.J. realized.

"It's risky since they could have their hands full with the Sporix but we've got to try it," Adult Race nodded, knowing that they have no other choice.

"Guess that means you'll have to turn to your sabers from now on, Lillie," Gladion noted to his sister.

"You're right, Gladion. One problem; we were already struggling with learning how to use them along with the Boost Keys and we don't have much time before Team Eclipse would find and attack us again."

Lillie then turned to her bed-ridden friends and their Pokemon, "I'm not sure if the others will be able to stand and be trained in using their sabers after the beating Lothor and his crooks had given us and those brainwashed dragons were no cakewalk, either."

"Don't worry, Lillie. I'll give you a hand using my Shark Sabers from Master Finn," Casey offered to her. "But, Snowy might need to learn a new move if she's going to help you, too."

"Maybe there's another Ice Type move or any other Pokemon move she'll be able to learn to make herself a better fighter," Theo suggested, turning to Lillie. "Lillie, Snowy's primarily an Ice Type and she's capable of using Aurora Beam and Powder Snow. What else can she learn and add to her current move set?"

"I'm not sure, I'll have to talk with Gladion and see what he thinks Snowy can add to her move set. But, whichever move we think is worth helping her learn, we'll go with that one," Lillie replied.

"Good thinking, Lillie. Sounds like step one to me but for now, I'd say you two and your Pokemon crash in Jonny and Hadji's room. You've obviously been through a lot today and you'll need your strength," smiled Adult Race, supportive of the Ice Type student's plan.

"We'll look after your friends and try to get in touch with the Beast Morphers Rangers and the Dino Fury Rangers via the Ranger Hotline," Lily offered.

"Thank you," Lillie thanked as she and Gladion along with their Pokemon went to Jonny and Hadji's bedroom.

Once they were away, Lily couldn't help but wonder, "Guys, I'm worried... Race, what's going to happen to Sarah and her family, Jarrod, Camile, and the masters? Dr. Quest, Jonny, Hadji, Bandit, and even the Cat Pack could be in danger if Team Eclipse should target them as long as they're with them..."

"We know the answer to that one, Lily. The boys are very resourceful and I've taught them and Dr. Quest all I know and the princess and her family will hold out as best they can until we get the help we need to take care of Team Eclipse," Adult Race reassured as he began to think. "The same can be said for your two friends and your masters, that's for sure. But, still, I can't help but wonder... Who would give Lothor and his hotshots an army of brainwashed dragons for them to exploit at a single notice let alone figure out where they were?"

"Sarah did tell us back at Claw Village and during our journey to the old temple holding the Twilight Gem that she and her family went to Berk and discovered that when the Dragon Wars sprung up between the dragons and the Vikings of Berk, many of the former were forced to leave their world for ours in hiding and to look for new places to live so they won't be disturbed and picked off in fear for their own lives and for their children's," Dom informed.

"If there are any more dragons in this world like the ones in Sarah's care that had been forced to flee Berk due to the Dragon Wars, then somebody must've found the ones in their armada first and tipped them off while looking into what strengths and weaknesses they can easily exploit and take advantage of to use on them without warning," R.J. said to the group, giving his own theory on the matter.

"And, since my father, Master Phant, and Master Swoop are with her along with Jarrod and Camille, once she found a hideout for her party to recharge, she's just a phone call away."

Casey, Dom, Lily, Theo, and Adult Race agreed and with that, they had to be content as they set to work on reaching the Beast Morphers Rangers and the Dino Fury Rangers in hopes that either of them or both teams can be within reach. Also, they have no choice but to hold out faith that Ash and the others will be healed quickly and wake up so that they'll help them become stronger as time was running out.


However, the Jungle Fury Rangers, the Cat Pack, and the Quest Team aren't the only ones who are aware of the danger being present to Sarah, her friends, and her family; in the Dinosaur Dimension, Tyler and the rest of the Dino Charge Rangers including his father, James, Prince Phillip, and Prince Ivan came into the base. Kendall had just gotten an urgent call from Keeper for them to meet up with him and Zenowing and they could only guess that there's a significant problem the Morphin Grid could've told him about taking place across dimensions again.

"What's going on?" Shelby inquired as they entered.

"The call sounded urgent and we got here as soon as possible," Phillip agreed.

"Kendall, what the matter?" Koda asked worriedly just as Keeper and Zenowing arrived.

"Keeper, Zenowing, what's wrong?"

"You mentioned something about the Morphin Grid warning you of a new danger," Tyler and Kendall questioned the pair.

"Hello, my friends. And, yes, I'm afraid we have terrible news; the Morphin Grid has told us that the Ultra Rescue Rangers in their dimension are in a great deal of trouble again. But, this time, they're in their biggest pinch yet," Keeper told them gravely.

"Sarah and the others, in trouble again?"

"Sounds like Team Eclipse and Lothor reared their ugly heads to them again when they least expected it," Chase and Riley said, looking concerned.

"You're both right; Lother and his forces have struck again but this time, they now have an armada of dragons on their side to take them down before Sarah could reach her parents. They're also on the hunt for a group of what are called Primal Pokemon they once had before they escaped the syndicate and the princess and her family and friends have done all they could to stop them but her friends save for Lillie and her brother were all beaten and they're now in critical condition," Zenowing added.

"If Team Eclipse was able to beat them that easily now with this new armada, they're in big trouble," Tyler gulped.

"But, how did their foes amass a fleet of powerful dragons so easily and without fail?" Ivan asked, curious as to how Lothor and his crew were able to acquire an army.

"How bad were things with Team Eclipse and the Ultra Rescue Rangers during their battle, Keeper?" James also inquired.

"Your suspicions and my fears are well-founded. The Morphin Grid has shown us their latest struggle but unfortunately..."

Keeper trailed off as he showed the rangers, through his staff, the exact warning the Morphin Grid gave him and Zenowing; the Ultra Rescue Rangers had lost with Ash, Mallow, Lana, Kiawe, and Sophocles and their Pokemon all being critically wounded in defeat while leaving Teen Race, Sarah, Lillie, and Gladion as the only ones left still standing along with the princess' family, the siblings' Pokemon, and the BF Champion's team. The Dino Charge team was left speechless and in shock over the dismal state of things before they saw their successors saved in the nick of time by the Jungle Fury Rangers, their masters, Jarrod, Camille, the Quest Team, and the Cat Pack as they're forced to retreat.

"Whoa, is that the legendary Quest Team? And, what are those kittens doing, they can actually morph and fight?" Chase gawked in surprise and disbelief.

"And, those are the Jungle Fury Rangers! The ones that defeated the bad guy known as Dai Shi," Shelby breathed in amazement.

"Man, Sarah's friends hurt bad," Koda gasped, his concern for Sarah and her friends growing.

"Oh no, those dragons are attacking and leaving them open for Team Eclipse to get the drop on them," Phillip said, feeling helpless.

"Even their weapons were destroyed during the battle so how can they be a match for them now?" Tyler put in.

"That shouldn't be a problem; when Sarah last contacted me, she told me she and her godfather found sabers that are similar to the main weapons of their successors, the Power Rangers Dino Fury," Kendall reassured, showing photos of the gang's Chromafury Sabers.

"Whoa, cool sabers!" Riley commented with an impressed whistle.

"New weapons awesome!" agreed Koda, excited.

"Impressive, new weapons fitting for Alola's own royal knights," agreed Ivan with an impressed nod.

"Amazing, what exactly do they do?" Tyler inquired Kendall again.

"According to the Legendary Ranger data about them I could find, the Chromafury Sabers can be used with a set of power-ups called Boost Keys that allow the Dino Fury team to utilize a vast array of powers depending on the situation and they can be used morphed or unmorphed. But, these new sabers, I've no idea how they're like that so there must be something about them that not even Sarah, her friends, and her family know about yet."

"Whatever that mystery about them is, let's hope there will be someone in their world who knows about them. Especially the Dino Fury Rangers," James said.

"And, those dragons, something's not right about them... They obeyed their so-called 'masters' at a whim and without much of a second thought, they must have some sort of control over them which allowed them to amass the army Team Eclipse would want," Ivan mused thoughtfully.

"You're right, Ivan; I too have a feeling that there's foul play being had on Team Eclipse's part and if they were able to gather such a fleet in large numbers just to take on our fellow rangers, somebody's obviously joined forces with Lothor and his crew from the shadows," Zenowing nodded.

"Then, I guess we better pop back in and see how everyone's doing so we can help," Chase suggested, determined.

"And, figure out who's been shipping Team Eclipse dragons as a multi-million dollar six-pack," Shelby nodded.

"Phillip, James, and I will monitor the situation from here with Keeper while we look for clues and we'll join you if you need us. Tyler, Zenowing, you and the others get to Sarah's dimension and rendezvous with her friends. See if you can pinpoint where they are now when you get there," Kendall briefed quickly.

"Right, Kendall."

"Thanks, Kendall. Come on, guys, let's go," Zenowing and Tyler complied as they left with the others following suit, preparing to go on their latest transdimensional journey.
