Chapter 41

Back on Remnant, Team JNPR are in the 'viewing chamber' as Team CFVY are called back to Beacon. General Ironwood already explained the situation to them and are gonna help get their friends back. The scientist told them that they are almost done figuring out how is it possible to send people from one world to another.

"What have you figured out?" Ironwood asked the scientist. Team JNPR are continuing to watch the mirror.

"From what we have gathered general, we discover that the power source of the dimensional transporter seems to be some sort of crystal."

He handed the general the pictures of the paintings and one of which shows some sort of teal oval-shape object. It shows people with different shades of blue or black hair from what appears to be the ocean using it to create an advance civilization. He then looks at the next picture and shows what appears to be a group of people wearing kimonos and infusing the crystal with some sort of rainbow feather that created some form of crystal as an energy source.

"We did found the chamber where the energy source is located, but the crystal is completely shattered. The power source is useless now, but we are currently trying to make a Dust that should provide enough power to send in Team JNPR."

"Some good news at last." The general is relieved that there is a chance to help Team RWBY. "Carry on."

"Yes, sir." The scientist turned around and gets back to work.

"Any luck?" Pyrrha asks as she approaches the general.

Ironwood turned to face her. "We discovered the power source of the...dimensional transporter. But it is shattered and we're going have to replace it."

"How long will that take?"

"A few hours the most. But we are unsure how much power it would take to activate the transporter."

"That's some good news." Pyrrha sigh in relief.

After getting their gym badges and keep celebrating their victories at the Onsen Resort, they are heading off to Weiss & Blake's next Pokemon Showcase. They all hop aboard the next train to make their way over to Violet Town. Weiss is holding a notebook as she reviews her notes on how to perform and is also making notes on how to perfect pokepuffs and poffins. She found out that there are theme performances that involve baking and performing while baking.

Blake keeps looking out the window and smacking her lips as she looks at the water-type pokemon. Thinking on how tasty they could be as the ears hidden in her bow twitch. Good thing that they are the only ones on the tram. Ruby is admiring her badge as the same with Yang as they have accomplish beating the gyms of Blazewater Island. But what they all really enjoy is the free nights at the hot springs...which they enjoy too much.

"The hot springs were fun, weren't they?" Ruby asks her teammates.

"Indeed." Yang agrees as she puts her badge away. Blake and Weiss are too focus on what they are doing. "My hair has never felt this good in a long time. I feel great! We should go there all the time!"

"Assuming we get our hands on some more large flying-type pokemon or a pokemon that can use teleport."

Blake starts to drool a little as she sees a Seaking and imagine it as a baked and breaded fish meal. Weiss is still focus on her notes as she is preparing for the next showcase. After a few minutes, the train has arrived.

"Violet Town Station. Violet Town Station."

Once they get off the train, Ruby stretches her arms in the air and enjoys being on the surface again.

"So good to get some sunshine!" Ruby says as she enjoys being bathed by the rays of the sun.

"Feels like we were down there for hours." Yang says as she breathes in the fresh air.

"It has only been 50 minutes." Weiss kept track of time and corrected Yang.

"Still too long for me."

"HEEEYYY!"

The girls look forward and see a very familiar figure running towards them. To their misfortune, it is Rusty.

"How's it going?!" Rusty is very excited to see Team RWBY again.

"Oh, uh...hey, Rusty." Ruby says with a bit of hesitation in her voice. "How have you been?" she said sarcastically.

Rusty explains what he has been doing. Yet he is unaware that Ruby was being sarcastic. "I've been traveling to these parts for a while. I went to Kanto City to win my third badge. But I need like dragon-types or ice-types to defeat the dragon-types of that gym. Or fairy-types. Yet I also went to Flora City and won my badge!"

"What a coincidence." Yang says with a smug. "Ruby and I won our gym badges at Blazewater Island."

"Oh my Dunsparce! Let me see!"

Ruby and Yang pulled out their badge cases and show Rusty their badges. Rusty shows his badge case and reveals that he has a Gravel Badge, a strange black badge in a shape of a Haunter with angry yellow eyes called the Spirit Badge, and a lime-green leaf-shaped badge known as a Leaf Badge.

"That is kinda cool." Ruby has to admit it. The idiot has done something right.

"Yeah!" Then Rusty then gets an idea. "Hey! Want to battle? I choose you, Ruby!" Rusty pointed his right finger at Ruby and wants to battle. "According to the rules: once trainers make eye contact, they have to battle and cannot decline!"

"Wait, that's a real rule?" Weiss asked. She was hoping to avoid him and just move on. But now they are in a pickle.

"Yes! That is an actual rule!"

Ruby smirks, "Guess I have no choice but to accept."

Both of them get away from each other and start battling. Blake is acting ref for the battle.

Rusty pulls out his pokeball and throws it. "Go get'em, Pikachu!" His starter pokemon has taken the field.

Ruby then pull out and throw her pokeball while saying, "Go, Chika!" Ruby's Bayleef has shown up and ready to fight.

"START!" Blake raised her hand and throws it down to signal the start of the battle. Yang and Weiss just sit on a bench under a tree.

"Pikachu, use iron tail!" Rusty ordered. Pikachu's tail started to gleam in a silvery color and charges at Chika with his tail.

"Chika, use vine whip to toss Pikachu!" Two vines appear around Chika's neck and grab Pikachu's tail. Then she starts to swing him around and toss him face down onto the stone brick pavement. "Now use poison powder!" Chika then flicks her leaf and a purple powdery substance start making its way towards Pikachu.

"Use quick attack to dodge!" Pikachu gets up and quickly gets out of the way while leaving a white light trail behind him. Then Pikachu charges at Chika.

"Use razor leaf with poison powder!" Chika swings her head and leaf with razor leafs covered in poison powder that gives it a purple and brownish coloration while leaving behind little purple glitter behind.

Pikachu dodges the poisoned razor leaves but gets a whiff of some of the poison powder. Pikachu lands a blow that knock Chika back a little then Pikachu lands back on his feet close to Rusty. However, Pikachu's cheeks are a little purple with purple bubbles.

"Pikachu return!" Rusty pulls out his pokeball and his Pikachu is return to his pokeball to prevent any further damage. Then he pulls a sportsball and throws it, "Go, Beedrill!" His Weedle from the Park-Pokemon Catching Contest has evolved into a fully developed Beedrill. "Use poison jab!" Beedrill charges with its left needle glowing purple.

"Use magical leaf!" Ruby ordered Chika to use magical leaf. But Beedrill's speed is super high. Beedrill managed to land a blow and poison Chika.

"That was fast!" Weiss says and is a little impress.

Yang tries to figure out what just happened. "I...uh...what just happened? I blinked."

Chika gets back up and is poisoned. She manages to use magical leaf and fires glowing green leaves. However, Beedrill is moving so fast that he dodge every single one.

"Use pin missile!" Beedrill's stinger glows white and fires multiple white needles at Chika. Chika has fainted by a super-effective move.

"Chika is unable to battle! The winner is Beedrill!"

Then Chika is called back to her pokeball then Ruby throws another pokeball. "Go, Puppy!" Ruby's Shuppet is now on the field and ready for combat.

"START!"

"Use will-o-wisp!" Ruby ordered. Puppy has a ring of fireballs that are pink, light blue, and dark blue. Then fires at Beedrill.

Beedrill uses his speed to dodge but got grazed by one of the fireballs. Beedrill is now suffering from a burn status as he gets engulf in flames for a few seconds.

"Quick! Use pin missile!" Rusty shouts as he panics.

Beedrills stinger glows white until Ruby shouts, "Use shadow sneak!"

Puppy uses shadow sneak and smacks Beedrill with his shadow. Beedrill has fainted.

"Beedrill is unable to battle! The winner is, Puppy!"

Rusty calls back Beedrill before throwing his next pokeball. "Go, Bidoof!" Rusty's Bidoof appears and is ready for action.

It is a close match. Who will win? Will it be our heroine, Ruby? Or the idiot, Rusty? Join in next time!
