(Okay, Dark Souls begins THIS chapter.

The Reviews

LogBook: If you think that's funny, wait till they find out about those very specific evolution requirements for Galarian Yamask and all the other wacky evolution methods.

Jacob9594: Kamado is a very very very VERY paranoid person, it really was the smart decision for Laventon and Rei to do here.)

After proving their mettle against another Alpha Pokemon, this time an Alpha Bibarel, the rangers and Irida would be entering a forested area.

"Here we are. This is the Heartwood," Irida informed. "In here is where Lord Kleavor calls home."

"Nice looking place...ooh. I see Psyduck and Buneary around," Vanessa noticed.

"Hey partner, I'm wondering something...if Lord Kleavor lives here, you think Scyther are here too?" Aubrey wondered.

"Why yes, I do recall seeing Scyther in this area," Irida confirmed. "Why do you ask?"

"Eh, just wondering," The older ranger replied.

"Hmm…well I was thinking of getting a Scyther myself," Vanessa commented. "What better way to learn about Pokemon we have not met in our world by getting them ourselves?"

"Oh yeah, that's right!" Aubrey agreed.

"I see...question, Vanessa," Irida added. "Is such a thing common in your line of work?"

"Learning about Pokemon? Of course!" Vanessa answered. "We also request help from local wild Pokemon with our Stylers. I'm thinking of rounding up a few Psyduck to help out with Lord Kleavor actually."

"You...mean to battle Lord Kleavor?" Irida frowned. "Well, if that's what you think will help..."

"Oh don't worry about it, Irida," Aubrey reassured. "We're not gonna go in there with the intent to kick Kleavor off his throne. Heck, wild Pokemon help us with captures too, sometimes our own Partner Pokemon."

"Ah, just like what you did with the Paras and Alpha Parasect!" Irida perked up in realization.

"Exactly. We call that a Poke Assist," Vanessa confirmed.

"And if you're wondering about how else Poke Assists can help us in the field...um, shoot, where's a good example?" Aubrey looked around for something that could help illustrate her point. "Well, sometimes there's obstacles we need a Pokemon's help to get past. That technique is a Target Clear."

"A Target Clear like say...cutting away vines or crushing boulders?" Irida guessed.

"Yup! You got that right, Irida!" Vanessa confirmed.

"Oh good. Apologies for asking so many questions like this. I believe it is important to get all the relevant facts before making a decision," Irida explained. "Something Adaman should learn to do by himself..."

Aubrey wanted to say something, but kept it to herself. "Ah, I'm sure he'll pick up on that eventually. If not him, one of his subordinates."

"Yeah, he seems like he has a good head on his shoulders," The younger ranger added.

"He presents himself that way, but you have not seen him when he acts as soon as something happens, with no consideration of the consequences," Irida responded. "But regardless, I'm getting sidetracked. We're nearing the Grandtree Arena." She gestured in the direction of it. "I'll be waiting up there and tell Lian what's going on. Do whatever preparations you need to do and head over there at your earliest convenience."

"Sounding like Adaman there, aren't we?" The older ranger teased, causing Irida to blush in embarrassment.

"W-Wha- no!" Irida denied. "I'm more concerned about Lord Kleavor and our people than that!"

"Relax, just messing with ya. We won't be long," Aubrey promised, with Irida heading off to Grandtree Arena. And once she was out of earshot, Aubrey whispered to her partner, "So when's the wedding?"

"Hmm…I'm going to say…four years." Vanessa decided to give a straight answer.

"Heh, that'd be something," Aubrey chuckled. "Alright, so you said you wanted to get a Scyther so we can learn more about Kleavor, and get some Psyduck to help us out, right? We should try figuring out a plan of action before we head up there."

"Right. I say we take the lay of the land as we look around here and see how we can best utilize our Psyduck helpers," Vanessa decided.

"Got it. Otzawott oughta be a big help against Kleavor too," Aubrey mused. "Though it's best to scope out Grandtree Arena instead of y'know, the whole forest."

"True." Vanessa nodded in agreement. "Okay then, let's do it!"

"Roll 'em out!" Aubrey exclaimed, Arc Styler in hand.

With that declaration, the two Rangers would head on out and request help from the local Psyduck with their Stylers and round up a nice party of them before looking around the Grandtree Arena. Which they note has Scyther and those ever loveable Combee.

"Oh hey, Combee," Vanessa noted.

"Remember that one request we had back in Sinnoh where there was an argument over two kids and a Combee?" Aubrey mentioned. "That one kid traded his friend a boy Combee and the other kid was mad since he thought it was gonna be a girl Combee."

"Oh man.. I felt so bad for the kid," Vanessa remembered.

"Probably why you went out to catch a girl one for him while I kept things from getting physical," Aubrey responded.

"That it was Brey. That it was." A blast of wind goes between them from a rather angry looking Scyther. A Shiny Scyther to boot.

"...Oh no way..." Aubrey breathed, hand on Soren's Poke Ball. "Soren, help us out!" Aubrey called out her Zubat.

"Holy crap, shinies really were more common in the past! Let's go, Quilava!" Vanessa exclaimed.

"Well I wonder why THAT could've happened!" Aubrey exclaimed. Soren would take the initiative by utilizing Air Cutter right out of the gate against Scyther, surprising Aubrey. "...Did Zubat always know that move?"

"Huh...not sure…" Vanessa paused. "I would have to look that up later. Quilava, Flame Wheel!"

Both attacks would connect on Scyther, Aubrey flicking out her Capture Disc. "Capture...ON!"

"Capture on!" Vanessa would do the same with her own Capture Disc. "Let's Dual Capture here Brey!"

"Just like usual, partner!" The older ranger agreed, Soren playing defense on their Capture Discs by using Gust to foul Scyther's aim on its slashes. Quilava meanwhile would go on the attack and use Flame Wheel to get in a couple of good hits on Scyther, and would even get a burn!

"Now's my chance!" Vanessa would throw a Poke Ball at Scyther.

1…2…3…click!

"Nicely done!" Aubrey complimented.

"Thank you! Now to heal him up!" Vanessa would send Scyther out and give him a Potion and a Rawst Berry. He was at first...very hesitant to take the berry. "Oh come on you big lug. Eat it. It's good for you and will help with the burn."

"Batttt..." Soren flapped around watching this scene.

"Reminds me of Jake's buddy Dew...must be a prideful one," Aubrey commented.

"Yeah," The younger ranger agreed. Quilava would look at Scyther with a set of big old eyes and guilt it into eating the berry, which it did begrudgingly.

Aubrey would go ahead and recall Soren. "Alright, so are we good now? We still got the arena to scope out."

"Yup. We're good. Let's go, buddy!" Vanessa patted Scyther on the head, who gave her a look of surprise before going along with them.

They'd soon be outside the Grandtree Arena, marked by red banners and a boy with a big hat in Pearl Clan garb would be there with Irida.

"I'm Lian of the Pearl Clan. The warden to Kleavor, Lord of the Woods," He introduced. "You're the rangers that Irida told me about, right?"

"Of course!" Vanessa answered. 'Why does that hat look familiar?' She added to herself.

"Good! You should see Lord Kleavor for yourselves - the powerfully awesome Kleavor just got even more awesomely powerful!" Lian smirked, folding his arms, prompting a collective sweatdrop from the ladies.

"Um...Lian, they're here to help us with Lord Kleavor," Irida reminded.

"Are you kidding me? That strange lightning could've been from almighty Sinnoh's divine power!" Lian responded.

"I mean…possible. I Suppose. But is Lord Kleavor in good health?" Vanessa countered.

"Whatever happened, all I know is that it left my lord imbued with an awesome power," Lian responded. "It's too dangerous to let you see Kleavor."

"Surely you can make an exception," Irida spoke up. "I even gave them the okay to do so."

Lian perked up at the mention of this. "O-oh! Right. You mentioned this to me...sorry, I forgot..."

"Eh, it's alright," Aubrey responded. "So how exactly would you deal with this as his warden?"

"Well, us wardens normally give our lords an offering - in my case, it's a mix of two of Kleavor's favorite foods served up with respect from me, but the only thing we'd be greeted by doing that is a flurry of blows!" Lian explained. "Just like the last group of Galaxy Team that came here to do something about it got hit with..."

"Are they alright?" Vanessa asked with concern.

"They managed to escape with their lives intact," Irida answered.

"But not with their dignity," Lian added.

Vanessa's Arc Styler would buzz, with a message on her watch and curiosity from Irida and Lian.

"What is that?" The warden wondered.

"Our Arc Stylers…" Vanessa answered. "You have anything on it, Brey?"

"Well yours is the only one with a screen, maybe that's how we get messages," Aubrey responded, grumbling about how she's still got the basic gear.

"A-Anyway...why did it make that noise just now?" Irida asked.

The message Vanessa got would be a pretty big bit of information for them. 'I have imbued your Capture Stylers with the power to tame Alphas and these Pokemon when we first met - they have been filled with a might to render them in a state known as Noble. Use your Arc Stylers to quell Kleavor's wrath, and you'll see what I mean.'

"Oooh..." Vanessa stared at the message with a bit of surprise, but also a faint smile. "Interesting…I think our Stylers can work on Lord Kleavor."

"Are you sure about that?" Lian wondered.

"Yes, I've seen them work on the Alphas that roam the Fieldlands on the way here," Irida answered. "If they can work on the Alphas, then...we have to at least try it, right?"

"I guess...it's the only thing we can try," The warden relented. "Are you sure you two are ready to enter the Grandtree Arena now?"

"Give us a few moments. We got some setup to do," Aubrey answered.

"Yeah." Vanessa nodded in agreement.

"Okay. But at the first sign of trouble, I'm stepping in to help!" Lian remarked. "Got it?"

"And let you get bad hurt? I'd sooner take that blow myself, kiddo," Aubrey folded her arms, shaking her head.

"But-" Lian would get cut off by the younger ranger.

"Enough, Lian. We do things like this all the time to protect Pokemon. We know what we are doing." She stood firm in her speech, standing tall.

"Please Lian. I don't want you getting hurt either," Irida frowned.

Lian let out a sigh. "Okay..." He tipped his brow looking at the ground.

"OK! Let's get this started." Vanessa had the Psyduck ready. "You can count on us to get the job done!"

Aubrey would take a moment to kneel down and push Lian's hat brim up. "Chin up, Lian. We'll get Lord Kleavor back to his old self in no time." She gave him a warm smile to tell him everything would be alright.

"You promise?" The warden asked.

"Cross my heart," Aubrey responded, patting him on the shoulder and standing up.

"Okay...we'll be watching!" Lian felt a bit better by the older ranger's gesture, prompting Aubrey and Vanessa to move forward with their preparations.

"OK, I'm going to have the Psyduck line at the edge of the area. The idea is they will attack Lord Kleavor from the top of the cliff with Water Gun," Vanessa explained.

"And we're in the arena with Otzawott with our Stylers, yeah?" Aubrey asked.

"Correct!" Vanessa confirmed.

"Got it. You get the Psyduck set up, Otzawott and I will be waiting." Aubrey would call out her Oshawott, who was very excited for whatever it was they were planning on doing.

"You got it!" Vanessa would go set the Psyduck up along the edge so that there would always be a couple on each side of the arena. "OK I need you guys to keep an eye on Lord Kleavor and hit him when you have a clean shot. Alright?"

"Psyyyy!" The Psyducks would give a nod, all going to get in position. Once Vanessa had the Psyducks get set up, Aubrey and Otzawott stood ready, the former holding her Arc Styler, and the latter holding his scalchop blade.

"Alright, now we just wait for him, right?" Aubrey asked.

"Seems like it," Vanessa responded, doing a few stretches. Aubrey would do the same, and Otzawott would try and mirror their movements...only to get off balance and fall on his face. "Osha!" He was quick to get back to his feet however as a cry pierced through the air.

"Graashaa!"

"Wott..." Otzawott shuddered a bit from the cry, the rangers looking around for where that came from.

"I think that's our bug of the hour, partner..." Aubrey steeled herself for battle, eyebrows furrowing with a smirk forming on her face. A golden blur would be seen running around the arena, making the Psyduck scatter to avoid getting bowled over, and then it slashed down a smaller tree in a blur before landing in front of the trio. It was a rocky creature with two axe heads for blades, awash in golden light - this was definitely Lord Kleavor alright, and it was ready to throw down.

"Impressive power, I have to admit," Vanessa conceded, also ready to fight.

"Yeah! Bring it, Kleavor! I'm not afraid of you!" Aubrey exclaimed, though even with her bravado, she knew that a foe like this couldn't be looped willy nilly.

"Osha, osha wott..." Otzawott nervously laughed before shaking his head. No, now was not the time to be afraid! The rangers were counting on him! "Oshawott osh!" He jumped in front of Aubrey, his own expression showing a stronger resolve.

A glint in Kleavor's eyes would be seen as it readied a charge towards the trio, swinging the axes on his arms at the group. Otzawott would try and challenge one with his own blade, keyword being 'try'. At this point Scyther would just pop out of his own accord and save Otzawott from getting slashed!

"Osha?!" Otzawott lept back at Scyther's defense.

"Hey, Van, I hate to break it to you, but Scyther is gonna get creamed by rocks..." Aubrey sweatdropped as pointed stones would float around Kleavor before setting its sights on Scyther. "Otzawott, blow an opening in that attack with Water Pulse!"

"Scyther, be careful!" Vanessa warned. The opening Otzawott gave Scyther was enough for him to fly out of the way, but on the way out was nicked by one of the rocks. "Scyther!" She growled. "Psyduck! Open fire!"

While the Psyduck who had an angle would open fire with Water Gun, Otzawott would run over to Scyther as the rangers would start capture with a few opening loops.

"Oshawott?" The Water-type was clearly checking up on Scyther to make sure he was okay. Had he not done that, Scyther would not have been able to escape that attack. Scyther, thankfully, was not too bad off, but gave Otzawott an appreciative look.

The Sea Otter Pokemon would give a brave smile and stand ready to get back in the fight. Kleavor would be trying to attack the Psyduck raining down Water Gun on him, but Otzawott would go and give an answer to that, rushing to block the attack with Aqua Jet!

"Good job, Otzawott!" Vanessa called, getting more loops in on Kleavor.

"Keep that up, buddy!" Aubrey called, Kleavor breaking off the engagement to chase down the older ranger. Fortunately, she was ready for this, running towards the namesake 'grand tree', running up the side and doing a backflip jump over Kleavor, forcing one of its axe blades to get stuck in the tree's trunk!

Vanessa could only let out a low whistle. "Daaang…"

Aubrey stuck the landing with a three point landing, doing a hairflip on the way back up. "Impressed? I ran around in the jungles of Summerland with Skarmory as a kid when I had nothing better to do growing up."

Vanessa laughed, before focusing on the fight at hand. "Okay, I think we can finish him off. All forces! OPEN FIRE!" She pointed at Kleavor, now getting bombarded by water from all sides while the rangers looped him with their Stylers. By the time Kleavor had gotten unstuck, the battle had been decided. The bright light would start to dissipate from his body and collect into a golden orb before vanishing in a puff of dust.

"Capture...complete." Aubrey recalled her Capture Disc as Otzawott bounced around all happy like. "Way to go, everyone!"

"Good job, team!" Vanessa gave a thumbs up to the Psyduck who looked really happy to have been of help. "Go on home and rest, you've earned it!"

Aubrey would notice that wasn't the only thing that glowed, seeing Otzawott starting to evolve while still doing a celebratory happy dance. "Oh hey, Van! Look!"

"Oh?" Vanessa looked at where Aubrey was pointing, which was Otzawott evolving into Dewott, standing tall, confident, and still in a good mood!

"Dewwwwwwwwwwwwwott!" With two scalchops in hand, he did a few slashing motions before putting them back on his body, arms folded with an expression that screamed 'Yeah, I rule.'

"Ooh, nice!" Vanessa smiled. Kleavor would leave something for the rangers before running off - a light green plate, just like the one Wyrdeer gave them! "The Insect Plate…" The younger ranger breathed, reading the inscription. "Where all creation was born, that is the being's place of origin."

"Wh-what happened!?" Lian's voice was heard. "A great light just erupted from Kleavor's body!"

"I think that means it worked!" Irida smiled. "Never doubted you two for a second!"

"Uh-huh. Sure you didn't," Aubrey mused.

"Err, well, I did have my concerns, but...you understand, right?" Irida held her hands behind her back. "You were great out there, both of you. The way you commanded the respect of Pokemon, and the way you moved in battle too. Are all rangers as capable as you two?"

"Some of us are. We are among the best of the best!" Vanessa answered confidently.

"Heck yeah! That's Top Rangers for ya, Irida!" Aubrey added, giving her partner a fistbump.

"I'm so glad you're both okay, and Kleavor too!" Lian smiled. "I guess...that lightning was to blame for Kleavor's aggressive behavior after all."

"Pretty likely given what we have seen today," Irida agreed. "The lightning came from the space-time rift, and then the bolts must have hit Lord Kleavor and drove him into his frenzy."

"Wonder why someone would want to do that..." Aubrey folded her arms in thought.

"Yeah...I think we can guess that this will or has happened to the other Noble Pokemon," Vanessa theorized.

"So that means...whatever caused that is going to target the others?" Lian frowned in worry.

"Most likely yes...so the way I see it we will need to go to each area and do our part!" Vanessa decided.

"Well, know this - the Pearl Clan will be more than willing to accept your help in these endeavors moving forward. You have my word on that," Irida promised.

"Thank you for that." Vanessa gave Irida a smile.

"It is starting to get dark out...we'll head on back to Jubilife Village if it's no problem to you two," Aubrey told Irida and Lian.

"Not at all. Whoever is behind this, belt them good for me and Kleavor!" Lian exclaimed.

"You got it, Lian!" The younger ranger promised. With a wave goodbye, the two would head on back to the village after Aubrey recalled Otzawott. But they wouldn't be the only ones congratulating the rangers for a job well done, as a very familiar voice was heard after a bit of walking away from Grandtree Arena, accompanied with enthusiastic clapping.

"Bravo, bravo! Well done, rangers!"

Aubrey went wide-eyed and tensed up in shock from the voice, turning around to see who it was. "Key!? How in the heck did you get here?"

"Oh y'know, seeking out Arceus and asking him to help me help you and Vanessa in your mission, Miss Ranger," The merchant answered cheerfully, like it was no big deal to her. "Vatonage and the others were worried sick about you both, so when this news reached me, I took it upon myself to get some supplies together and come find you!"

Vanessa was absolutely flabbergasted by this happening. "...What…how…why…" She shook her head with a sigh. "...You know what, I'm not even going to question it."

Aubrey was taking this overall better, but was surprised at the news. "How did you get Arceus to give you permission to come here?"

"I borrowed this flute from your sister, Vanessa, and climbed Mt. Coronet to see him. After a humble offering of curry, he gave me the green light to come!" Key answered. "I knew that learning how to cook curry in Galar would come in handy someday!"

Vanessa now had a look of surprise. "...Do…do you still have it?"

Key shook her head no. "I believe he sent it back to Jazz after I had taken the plunge." The younger ranger's expression was now one of relief.

"Ohhhh thank you Arceus…" She breathed.

"So you're here to help us, right? What about everyone back home?" Aubrey asked.

"Ah, I'm sure I can catch you up on all the news on the way back to...wherever it is you're staying," Key responded. "Izzy and Finn I'm sure are doing just fine." As they walked along, she continued. "By the way, Aubrey? You doing that backflip to avoid that Pokemon's attack and put it in that bad position? That was so cool!"

"Watched the whole thing?" The older ranger raised an eyebrow. "Wouldn't Lian and Irida see you?"

"Oh no - I watched from a safe distance with Corviknight's help. Took a seat on a sturdy branch and watched on, silently cheering you both on," The merchant replied.

"...Oh, okay," Vanessa deadpanned.

Speaking of Izzy and Finn, back in present day Alola...

Isabella and Finn were heading to the Hano Grand Resort after getting reports of someone acting...really strangely in the lobby. As they walked along, Finn would mention, "So if this guy is really into weird stuff, he shouldn't be opposed to being detained, right?"

"Not at all...as long as he does not get enjoyment outta it…if he does, I might just knock out the bloody bastard." Isabella's accent was thick, showing she was quite mad at this whole situation.

Finn however, stayed calm in the face of his upset coworker. "Just keep the injury to a minimum. That's all I ask," He said.

By the time they arrived at the resort, one of the patrons pointed out the obnoxious person in question, hitting on one of the passing golfers.

"I will keep it to a minimum," Isabella promised. Finn would gesture for Isabella to take the lead.

"Ladies first," He said, ready to follow her lead.

"Thank you kindly." Isabella would walk up to the 'gentleman' in question. "Okay, I'm going to have to ask you to come with us."

"And what do we have here?" The man asked, having a 'friendly' smile towards Isabella. "Wasn't expecting this kind of crowd today."

Isabella's eyebrows furrowed. "Okay listen bucko, you're disturbing the peace."

"Surely you wouldn't mind getting a pair of silver bracelets for free," Finn commented casually.

"Oh sure! Go right ahead!" He'd put his hands behind his back. "I'm all yours!"

Isabella's eye twitched. "Finn yea better cuff this bloomin' buffoon before I knock him senseless…"

"No need to tell me twice," Finn responded, taking a pair of handcuffs, but it was then the man wasn't too happy.

"Wha- hey! I thought she'd be doing it!" He exclaimed.

"Well she asked me nicely to do it," The mechanic deadpanned. "Is there a problem with that?"

"There's nothin' nice about calling me a 'bloomin' buffoon'!" The man objected.

Finn paused, thinking about it for a moment. First off, there was now a crowd watching them. This guy's stance was combative towards him, but then he took one look towards Isabella, an idea forming in his mind. "...Well sir, I'm sure you won't complain about what's going to happen next."

"Aaand what would that be mate?" Isabella asked.

For a brief moment, Isabella would see Finn flash a brief smirk. "You're a smart gal. I'm sure you know what'll happen next."

"Galarian...oh yeah! Show me that kar-ah-tay you do!" The man was now asking for it. "I can take it!"

"Oh I'm sure you can." Finn put the handcuffs away, stepped back, and gestured for Isabella to do what she needed to do.

"...Oh lad, ye know what I like!" Isabella would get in the stance to unleash a fierce attack, putting all of her might into one punch. "WICKED BLOW!" The strike would be all Isabella needed, knocking the obnoxious man into a wall, thankfully not damaging it, but leaving him out cold. Murmurs from the crowd could be heard, though there were thankful voices among them. "Bloody bastard dinna know wha he be messin with..."

"Oh, I'm sure he did," Finn couldn't help it and had an amused grin. "Why else would he be asking for it?"

"Uggggh…well, he be out cold now…" Her speech was returning to normal. "...Uuh sorry if I went all Scottish on ya. Bloke made me mad."

"Isabella, I've seen basically every plot you can think of on the drawing board and cutting floor of Pokestar Studios," Finn responded. "That wasn't a big deal for me to be around."

"Oh thanks," Isabella chuckled awkwardly.

"You want to head somewhere fun as a reward for a job well done once we get this guy taken away?" Finn offered.

"Yes, that would be lovely," Isabella agreed.

Back in Hisui...

"Ah, so that's everything, huh?" Key asked, having gotten up to speed on the situation in general. "Hmm...I wonder if they'll let me in the village if we say I'm with you two?"

"I'm sure we can talk things over," Vanessa assured her. They'd arrive at the village gates, the guard standing at attention.

"Hey, who's the stranger?" He asked, talking about Key.

"She is a friend of ours," Vanessa explained. "Don't worry, she will not cause any problems. We need to make our report to the Commander."

"She is right. I am merely a humble merchant," Key explained. "Kiara Dermott, but I answer to Key."

"Very well...but we'll be keeping an eye on her for now," The guard told the rangers.

"Ah, you'll warm up to her eventually," Aubrey shrugged.

"Yeah." Vanessa nodded. "Let's go." The trio would go to the Galaxy Hall, Key opting to wait outside.

"I'll wait for you out here. Go and make your report, and we can retire for the night," She said.

"Of course. See ya in a bit, Key." Vanessa and Aubrey would head inside, going to Kamado's office. He was quite impressed with their work from his body language.

"Hrmm! Well done!" He exclaimed. "I have already received reports of your exploits. You successfully quelled Kleavor's frenzy, restoring peace of mind to the people of Hisui. You are strangers to us, falling out of the sky and using your strange ways...yet you have served the Galaxy Team admirably."

"Heck yeah we did! Mission Clear, partner!" Aubrey cheered.

"Mission Clear!" Vanessa cheered as well, the two striking their Ranger poses.

Kamado closed his eyes. "Yet there is one thing I would like to ask..."

"About?" Aubrey raised an eyebrow.

"I was told that the reason you used your Stylers to quell Kleavor's frenzy was because you received some sort of message on yours, Vanessa," Kamado responded. "Is that right?"

"Yeah. I was not expecting it to be honest," The younger ranger reported honestly.

"Hrmm...I see, I see..." Kamado stood there in thought. "Very well then. If a similar situation crops up, you will be the first ones we call upon. You are dismissed." With that, the two would head on out of the Galaxy Hall, meeting Key outside.

"Well, Kamado got the report of how we totally kicked butt today," Aubrey informed.

"Of course you did," Key smiled. "So where do you live here?"

"Oh, right over there." Vanessa pointed over to their house.

"Ooh, what a quaint little abode. Hope you don't mind me rooming with you rangers," Key smiled.

"Not at all," Aubrey agreed. "Besides...I'm tired." The older ranger stretched her arms.

"Yeah. I think we both are…" Vanessa let out a yawn.

"After today's great battle you had? You've both earned it." Key gave them both a pat on the shoulder, the three heading to their home. The merchant would set her things down, getting a sleeping bag and pillow for herself out of her bag and laying it down. Aubrey would lay down on her bed, falling asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Vanessa let out a yawn and laid herself down. "Good night everyone…"

"Sweet dreams..." With that from Key, the three turned in for the night, all quickly falling asleep.

(And with that, the first of hopefully all the Noble Pokemon battles has gone in a more EPIC fashion! I know the Pokemon Rangers gameplay is rapid pace circles, and the Noble Pokemon battles are basically 'Baby's First Dark Souls', but dangit this was fun! Did you guys like it, or should the next one have some more pizazz to them? Lemme know, because next time, new area, new teammates, and a new dilemma! See you all then, bye for now!)
