(Chapter 17): Mack Jackson Interview and Roxanne Rematch ft. "Pokémon Outback: Trail to Victory" the Australian Fangame.

At night, Eddy twisted and turned in his bed because he could wait for his fossil Dragon.

"Hey, Sockhead!" Eddy whispered. "Sockhead!"

Double D groaned. "What is it Ed?"

"We gotta go to see where this Australian Champion is holding our fossils!" Whispered Eddy.

Ed woke up. "DINOSAURS!"

Edd and Eddy put their hands over Ed's mouth and shushed him.

"We gotta move out!" Whispered Eddy. "Quietly."

As the Eds left the scene, they met Mack, who's drinking an energy drink to stay up all night for reviving the fossils with the best detail he had.

"Hey! Aussie!" Shouted Eddy. "Where's our fossils?!"

"Takes time, comrades." He explained.

"Sheesh..." Grunted Eddy. "So, how long are these fossil processing anyways-"

"DONE!" Mack interupted as he transformed the fossils to living Pokémon of their full potential selves unlike the ones Galar made.

The fossil Pokémon charged at Eddy with playful tackles. Eddy laughed really loud as they tickled him. Eddy turned around with the rest of the Cul De Sac Kids behind him in their Pijamas.

Dracosaurus stayed with Eddy while Velocizolt ran to Nazz's arms, Arctomosa waddled to Lee and Coelivish jumped into Sarah's arms.

"So, this is what you're hiding from us, huh?" Asked Kevin as he rolled up his sleeve.

"I just wanted my fossil Pokémon, that's all!" barked Eddy.

"There's plenty of fossil Pokémon over at the Nutria Revival Center." Said Mack as he recalled all 6 of his Pokémon.

The Cul De Sac were surprised that Mack recalled a Skyscraper Sized Shadow Serpent.

"He's got an Evil Dragon Snake!" Ed shouted as he takes out a Pokéball for a battle.

"That's my Legendary Pokémon." replied Mack. "One of the big legendaries in my Country other than Digeridoom (Sound) and Monguerreroose (Light/Fighting)."

The Kids looked at Mack with a strange look.

"It's okay, these Pokémon are banned from the big leagues." replied Mack. "But I brought a piece of home with me, my trusty Grass Starter and my Legendary to reveal the truths of planet earth through dreams and visions."

"Legendary? What does that mean?" asked Jonny.

"Extremely rare Pokémon who are fabled to be strong." Explained Mack. "Some of them like Darkrai, Heatran, Dialga, Palkia-"

"Wait!" Marie stopped Mack. "Did you say Darkrai?!"

"Darkrai is a Legendary." replied Mack.

"That Legendary Pokémon nearly killed me and tried to surround my friends!" Marie explained as she looked at her Gardevoir's Pokéball, who's shivering from the nightmarish memories of fighting a Pokémon she should've been able to defeat.

"In that case, what you need is a perfect capture, with a Master Ball." Replied Mack as he revealed a Master Ball he took from Team Science.

The eyes of the Cul De Sac Kids glowed in the sight of a remastered tech of a purple Pokéball with two pink lumps acting as ears.

"GIMME!" Eddy charged by Mack revealed the Master Ball was split apart. Everyone was surprised.

"I am reverse engineering this Master Ball for Disasterous Purposes such as capturing strong dangerous Pokémon and containing them until we fix nature or rehab the Pokémon to full use." Mack explained. "I have tales of scary strong Pokémon that destroyed nature and cities to claim its turf like an Alolan Ultra Beast, only this time, Beast Balls couldn't save Dustrail this time. Even Gym Leaders have a job to rehab one beast."

"Talk about bragging!" Kevin groaned.

"Excuse me, jockey." replied Mack. "But I don't see YOU with a school degree trying to save the world." Everyone stared at Kevin as he grumbled and crossed his arms. "Anyways, your fossils are alright. As for the Pokémon that teleported you to the past, that Pokémon was defused from its cell composure and reverted back to normal. I'll recreate Dialga and Palkia from their true forms, even if it takes me a full month, but luckily, I'm not alone."

"So then, how did you teleported us to the Future?" Asked Nazz.

"I would answer that, when you come to my league in Dustrail, Australia." Replied Mack. "But you should get back to sleep before you fight Ramos while groggy. That old soldier can pack a punch, even if you have a Fire, Bug or Flying Type Pokémon! So enjoy your fossil Pokémon, mate! And oh, remember this: 4 Yellow, 1 Green, 2 Blue, and 3 Red.

"Huh?" asked the Cul De Sac.

"What does that mean?" May asked Double D.

"Don't look at me, even I can't decipher what he said." Edd told May.

"I know what it means," said Roxanne. "But first, can I get a rematch with Eddy?" she asked.

"Who?!" Lee got a bit angry.

"Me." replied Eddy. "I defeated her since the first day with Piplup and got her badge."

"Um, yes, my badge." Roxanne blushed as she recalled a flashback.

"What's the matter? Chicken?" Eddy taunted.

"I love chickens!" Ed commented.

(Ost: Gym Leader Music Hoenn ORAS or BW2)

"You're so sweet, but no, I'm ready for a rematch!" Roxanne got out her Pokeballs. "Eddy of Peach Creek Cul De Sac! As Gym Leader, I challenge you to a Pokémon Gym Rematch! If I win, I get my badge back! If you win, you keep the badge!"

"You're on!" Exclaimed Eddy.

(Gym Leader Roxanne wants to have a Rematch!)

"What are you gonna send out?! Rocks?!" Eddy taunted.

"Yup! Go Probopass!" Roxanne sent out a Blue Stone Pokemon with a red screw on top of his head and a moustache below the big nose.

"Easy!" Said Eddy. "Go Prinplup!" Eddy called out his starter. "Prinplup! Bubblebeam!"

"Probopass! Thunderbolt!" Roxanne ordered.

"WHAT?!" Eddy was surprised.

As Prinplup hits Probopass with a sea of bubbles, Probopass has a Sturdy ability to make him stand on 1HP. Then Probopass zaps Prinplup with a hard volt of electricity!

(Prinplup 0% KO!

Probopass 1% Danger!)

"OH MAN, SHE GOT YOU!" Shouted Kevin.

"Prinplup! Return!" Eddy recalled his Pokémon. "Alright! Golbat, come out and use Poison Fang!"

As Golbat tried biting Probopass with a venomous bite, it had no effect.

"Probopass! Thunderbolt!" Ordered Roxanne.

(Golbat 0% KO!)

"NO!" Eddy recalled his Pokémon once more until he got a bright idea. "Try this! Raboot! Get out here and use Quick Attack!"

Raboot quickly came out and quickly attacked Probopass before anything else happened.

(Probopass 0% KO!)

"Probopass! Return!" ordered Roxanne. "Lycanroc! Let's go!"

"Raboot! Double Kick!" ordered Eddy.

"Lycanroc! Accelerock!" Ordered Roxanne.

Midday Lycanroc was then hit in the face by Raboot's foot twice as Raboot stepped on Midday Lycanroc's spikes.

(Raboot 47%

Lycanroc 5% Danger!)

"Raboot! Finish again with Quick Attack!" ordered Eddy.

Raboot quickly kicked Midday Lycanroc but with more spikes touching Raboot.

(Raboot 37%

Lycanroc 0% KO!)

"That's my man!" Lee cheered.

"Alright! Let's make it interesting!" Ordered Roxanne.

(New Rule: Double Battle!)

"Armaldo! Cradily! You're up!" Roxanne sent her two fossil Pokémon.

"Look at that!" said Mack. "Two Fossil Pokémon!"

"You like fossils?!" asked Eddy. "Here we go! Dracosaurus!"

Out comes a dark green and red striped dinosaur drake with a log in her mouth like if she's trying to immitate Zacian's sword, only this time, she uses it for a Hammer.

(Ost: Pokemon Hoenn Gym Leader Theme Remix: Pokémixr92)

"Let's see whose fossils can outshine whose!" Roxanne smirked. "Cradily! Armaldo!"

(An Arcane Core lit up!)

"EDDY! LOOK OUT!" warned Double D.

"Grand Boulder!" Roxane exclaimed.

(Rock Slide + Ancient Power = Grand Boulder: Rock: A Spread Attack that even hits flying Pokémon that had disappeared during combat! It even raises the user(s)' status!)

Down came a pouring of boulders with fossils inside.

(Raboot 0% KO!

Dracosaurus 70%)

(An Arcane Core lit up!)

Eddy chuckled grimly. "Hammer Quake on Armaldo!"

(Wood Hammer + Earthquake = Hammer Quake: Ground/Rock: An attack that spreads out though it hurts the maintarget twice as much!)

Bone Hill started to shake and rattle making all kinds of boulders fall on Roxanne's fossils. But even so, Eddy's Pokémon made a big chomp of damage!

(Disaster Damage Boost!)

(Cradily 0% KO!

Armaldo 0% KO!)

"Return!" Roxanne recalled her fallen fossil Pokémon.

"WE WON!" Eddy shouted as Dracosaurus tackled and licked Eddy. He laughs. "OKAY! OKAY! WE WON! HAHAH!"

"It was TRULY AN HONOR to fight once more, Eddy." Roxanne commented. "It was my greatest experience."

"Say, where did you get that Arcane Core?" asked Edd.

"Oh, a mysterious man gave me this Arcane Core for some reason. Now the combinations are my own to follow." Replied Roxanne as she left.

This left Edd worried. Someone is giving away Arcane Cores to strangers. Maybe someone already cracked the formula, but who?

"Those Arcane Cores would sure come in handy for my team." Mack commented. "But hey, my Pokémon are good alone, even without one. So... It's getting late-"

Suddenly, the sun began to rise. Everyone stared at the morning sun from Bone Hill as Nutria City's plants begin to bloom and the morning dew begins to form.

"So pretty." Said Jimmy.

Everyone in the city is getting up as everyone gets ready to meet a new day.

"Nature..." Mack sighs of joy. "Precious, and one mustn't toy with it like if they're God. But I believe some of us can protect that which lives well and rescue them."

"Hey! We can't sit here for nature to happen!" said Eddy. "We got a Gym Challenge to finish!"

"Oh yeah!" Kevin limbers up. "Get ready Ramos! We're coming for you!"

Everyone rushed to get down from Bone Hill to get to the Nutria City Gym.

Mack simply chuckled and sighed as he sends out his Pokémon to enjoy the Sunrise wih him.

"Only those who actually care to protect what's right, can change nature..." said Mack. "Only those with a true heart who care, actually care..."
