Chapter 5 – Uninvited Guests
"So you assumed the Mega form Draco can turn into," said Jakkin. "I thought you could only change into the black dragon."
"Well now you see that it's not my only form," said Charonus. "Thanks to the Pokecore containing the soul of my mom, I was able to call upon her and allow me to transform into my Mega Charizard Y form, which she was able to change into while the X form is from my dad's, if you remember what I've told you the other day."
"I've been lookin' forward to goin' toe to toe with a Mega Charizard," said Jakkin.
"Shall we continue our match then?" asked Charonus.
"You bet, bud!" smiled Jakkin, and the two resumed their fight.
Jakkin and Charonus fought endlessly, but soon Jakkin found that in his Charizard form, he was struggling at the might of Mega Charonus.
"It's too bad you don't seem to have the ability to Mega Evolve, otherwise this would have been an equal fight," said Charonus. "Maybe you should just throw in the towel while you still can."
"No," Jakkin groaned. "I won't give up that easily."
"Alright, then," said Charonus. "But don't expect me to go easy on you, as I'm not like Draco."
Jakkin gulped, knowing that he does not stand a chance now, but just when Charonus was about to strike again, smoke started to pour out from Jakkin. Shocked, Charonus jumped back as smoke billowed all around the shapeshifter. Jakkin knew what it meant, and he smiled, knowing that he would be able to fight without being restricted again.
"What is happening?" asked Draco.
"It looks as if Jakkin is changing," said Blaze. "Presumably back to his original form."
Sure enough, when the smoke cleared, Jakkin appeared as a Surian dragon again. Charonus was surprised yet intrigued to see his opponent has finally shown himself.
"So this is your true form, huh?" he asked.
"Yep," replied Jakkin. "And now, I could feel my strength risin' again."
"I wish you could have shown me your true form earlier," said Charonus. "I don't know why you chose now to revert back."
"The other forms I take just last for a certain number of days," said Jakkin. "Of course, it varies from form to form, and I like the Charizard one best of all, so I didn't really want to change back just yet, though if only I knew you'd be tough as a Mega Charizard."
"Better late than never, I suppose," said Charonus.
"Yeah, that's one way to put it," said Jakkin, stretching out his arms. "I think it's time that we get the match goin' now. I feel like I'm gonna win it this time!"
"Alright, let's do this!" said Charonus, feeling just as pumped up.
The two dragons resumed their fight, and this time, Jakkin was getting the upper hand as he delivered more powerful blows. Charonus was taken aback, yet he was very impressed with how strong Jakkin was in his original form. He fought back using his Flamethrower attack, but Jakkin knocked it back to him, which did minimal damage, yet it left the Charizard reeling with shock. Jakkin then responded with a powerful charge attack. Charonus tried to avoid the attack, but he was not fast enough to dodge in time. He was sent flying across the ring and crashed into the wall, dazed and exhausted.
"Charonus is out of the ring!" announced the referee. "The victory goes to Jakkin!"
Everyone cheered and Jakkin adjusted his hat feeling very pleased. Charonus, who has reverted back to his base form, soon recovered and came to congratulate his friend.
"That was a really good fight there, buddy," he said. "I really enjoyed it, and I'm very proud of you."
"Thanks, Charonus," said Jakkin. "And you were an excellent fighter back there."
Charonus nodded in agreement. Suddenly, there was a loud creaking noise. Everyone looked up, and noticed that the roof was being split open.
"What is going on?" asked Lily in a state of panic.
Torden looked up disdainfully. "Seems like trouble is what was going on," he said. "And I have a very good idea who's behind this."
"Look up there!" exclaimed Draco.
A large hovercraft loomed over the opened roof of the building, and everyone could see three dragons piloting the cockpit. Cynder and the dragons quickly recognised who they were, and they were not pleased to see the three again.
"The Pyre Squad!" exclaimed the dragons.
"Indeed, it is us again!" laughed Ciara nastily. "You thought you would be seeing the last of us, eh?"
"You should all think again, because we're not stopping until we finally bring the Obsidian Devourers back to their former glory!" declared Scorcher.
"This time we will make no more stupid mistakes!" cackled Cronk.
"Who are those jokers?" asked Ignatius.
"They're the Pyre Squad, a trio of dragons who go around causing trouble and committing crimes," replied Draco. "We've been tangling with them multiple times."
"Really?" asked Shu. "Well, if they're going to start anything here, I'd like to give them a taste of my Thunderbolt!"
"We're here for the Scroll of the Beast!" said Ciara. "And I believe it must be inside that important-looking chest down below!"
"Prepare to grab it!" said Scorcher. "Cronk, you know what to do!"
"Absolutely!" said Cronk and he pushed a big red button on a remote control he was holding. This caused two arms to come out from the underside of the hovercraft, and it grabbed the chest. As the arms pulled the chest up, two laser cannons emerged from the sides of the hovercraft and it started to open fire. Several of the participants panicked and raced for their lives out of the dojo while Blaze, Jimmy, the dragons, and even Ignatius and Shu remained.
"Those rotten Pyre Squad goons have done it this time!" hissed Cynder.
"We better put a stop to them for good!" said Lily.
"But how can we do that?" asked Jimmy. "They're out of our reach!"
"Not for us dragons!" said Torden. "And I know we all can take out the Pyre Squad together!"
Darky climbed up on Draco. "Come on, big bro!" he said. "Let's kick some Pyre Squad butt!"
"I'm with you on that, Darky," smiled Draco.
"I'll climb up on Charonus, now that you gave me an idea!" said Shu, and he raced to mount on Charonus' back.
"That's it, come on, little Pikachu," said Charonus. "It's time we teach these fools a lesson!"
Bowser, Jimmy, and Ignatius watched anxiously as the dragons got themselves ready. Together, they flew straight up the opened roof to the Pyre Squad's hovercraft.
Author's Note: Those three are still around causing problems! But not to worry, soon they'll will get their clocks cleaned in the last chapter!
