"Look out, coming through!" Artemis shouted the words as he barged into the main room of the cave, carrying several huge bags, and dragging another with his left foot. ""So where's my room?"
"So you figured out how to get here by yourself?" Alyrra said, looking at the red ranger who nodded.
"Yeah, the home button on the Beast Phone kind of gave it away," Artemis said, giving a chuckle.
"And another thing," the princess said. "I never actually said you could stay. I don't really want it getting too cramped here…"
"Oh come on princess!" Artemis said. "I just carried all these bags here and they're really super heavy. Have a heart?"
The princess sighed and rubbed her temple. "Fine. Down the hall, third door on the right, you can stay in there." Artemis beamed as he continued to drag his bags to his room. Bradley then walked up to the princess, with Seth and Lewis in tow.
"You know, you could just kick him out," Bradley said. "I mean, you're the one who chooses who can and can't be in here."
"Yes well," Alyrra said, picking up Shaymin who had also walked up alongside her. "I guess it wouldn't be as interesting if I said no."
Bradley sighed and slumped down on the chair, shaking his head.

Episode 2
All Hail the King
In the back alley of an abandoned building, something began to stir. Dark energy seemed to swell within the alley, and a long metallic tendril seemed to emerge from it. Nearby, a security guard was sitting in the squad car, reading the Sunny Times, wasting the time away from his boring assignment. He glanced at his watch and sighed.
"Two hours to go…" he muttered, and flicked to the next page of his newspaper. Suddenly, a scraping noise distracted the guard. He looked around and couldn't see anything at first, and then he noticed a metallic tendril slithering up the side of the car. He followed the tendril to its source, and at seeing the sight, begun to scream. However, no one would hear anything, as more tendrils appeared and crushed the car completely, killing the guard at the same time. A sinister laugh was all that could be heard, as the mysterious creature disappeared.
"So you're saying you haven't seen anything like it?" Lewis asked Bradley as the two were sitting at the table.
"Nope," Bradley muttered. "I have seen some strange Shadow Spirits in my two years, but that was nothing. Something must have changed something that we've missed."
"Well, I wouldn't worry too much about it," Artemis said as he came over, Embark by his side. "Whatever they're doing, it's probably nothing we can't handle."
"You should be a little more serious about this," Bradley stated, looking at Artemis. "We can't just run into battle, thinking everything will be alright."
"True, but we're a team now anyway. As a team, we can beat these guys easily."
"Well if you say so, leader…" Bradley seemed annoyed by Artemis, but the pokémon doctor seemed to ignore it.
"You know maybe we don't even have to fight?"
At Artemis' words, Bradley almost fell off of his chair from laughing. Artemis looked at the yellow ranger, curious to what he found so funny.
"If you honestly think we don't have to fight them, then you might as well grab all your stuff and go home."
"Well can't we just talk to them?" Artemis asked, trying to ignore the chuckles coming from Bradley. "They have to have a brain at least, or even a heart. Surely we can communicate with them, convince them to just go?"
"If you want to try a stupid idea like that, then fine," Bradley said. "But don't expect me to follow any leader that wants to communicate with an evil being like that." Bradley got up and walked away. Artemis shrugged his shoulders.
"If he doesn't want to do what his leader says, then he shouldn't be on the team."
"Artemis, Bradley has been doing this for two years," Kaylee said, speaking up. "He's been doing this for the longest, even doing it for a whole year by himself. You may be the leader, but it doesn't mean you can just ignore other people's ideas."
"Either way," Artemis said. "We can at least try it right? As I said, surely something will have to work."
"We'll back you up," Seth said from the wall he was leaning on. "But the moment it turns south, I'm not holding back."
"Honestly, I'm with Bradley on this one," Lewis said. "I mean the last two we fought were pretty intent on just destroying everything for the sake of it."
"Doesn't mean they're all the same," Artemis argued. "They can't all be evil?" The others shrugged while Artemis sighed as he sat down on the ground, thinking about what he was to do.
"I knew it would still be here," Viperia said as she moved along the bottom of a cliff that overlooked the ocean north of Sunyshore. "It took a bit of finding, but the Rift should still be here!"
"You know," Zangax said, following the seviper armoured woman into the human-sized crack in the cliff face. "I still struggle to figure out how it managed to survive the war. Weren't the Sacred Warriors searching for this the entire time?"
"I don't know," Viperia stated, bringing up her staff. A small ball of energy formed on the tip and she used it to lighten her way. "Whatever they did, let's just be grateful they didn't get rid of this."
The two Chaos Spirits soon entered a large room within the cave. Several stone statues surrounded the room, each one resembling a different monstrous creature. In the centre of the back wall, there was what looked like a stone fireplace, yet instead of a fire, a faint purple glow seemed to shine from it. Viperia walked up to it and smiled.
"Do you see this Zangax?" she exclaimed excitedly. "The Rift is open! You know what that means right?"
"Not really…" the warrior said. "I don't do the planning, I just fight, remember?"
"Well, the Rift opening is a good thing! It means that I was right! A new Highness Spirit is about to emerge!"
"So what, we just wait here in this cave for him? Doesn't sound all that fun…"
"Well... Perhaps we can find another Shadow Spirit to rid us of those Poké Rangers, and that way we can please the Highness Spirit when he's here!"
"How do we even know if there is one?"
Viperia looked around, and headed for a stone statue that resided in the far corner. She fired a bolt of energy at it, and the stone seemed to crumble away from it, revealing a bronzor that was rectangular. She waved her hand over it and a creature replaced the design that was initially there.
"See?" Viperia said pointing. "A Shadow Spirit, just waiting for us to recruit it." Viperia began to laugh evilly as she looked at the creature.
Princess Alyrra hummed to herself as she brushed Shaymin's hair. The small legendary seemed to be napping peacefully in the princess' lap. Soon, Artemis walked in, and headed towards the princess.
"Hey princess," Artemis said, sitting alongside her. "Do you think I'm making the right decision?"
"Honestly Artemis, I can't answer that for you. That's something you're going to have to figure out for yourself."
"Yeah but… How do I do that?"
"You have to do what your heart says," Alyrra said, giving the leader a comforting smile. "Once you do that, you can act accordingly."
Artemis smiled at the princess' kind words. "Thanks, that's helped a lot."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the fountain behind them erupted into its bubbling state. Artemis and the princess ran over, peering into the fountain.
"Another Shadow Spirit," Alyrra said. Artemis nodded and started to run off. "Be careful Artemis!" The red ranger looked back and nodded, then continued on the way.
Artemis met up with the rest of the team in the centre of Sunyshore city. Seth, Lewis and Kaylee seemed to be waiting for the red ranger to speak, while Bradley had his hands in his pockets and was staring off someplace else. Artemis ignored it.
"Alright, so do you guys have any idea where we should start looking for it?" Artemis asked.
"Shouldn't you know leader?" Bradley said, shaking his head at the same time.
"Maybe I should, maybe I shouldn't, but I can at least ask the rest of the team for advice."
"Yeah, because you can take advice…"
"Well at least I'm not a stuck up, self-righteous di-"
"Stop it!"
The sudden voice caught Artemis and Bradley off guard from their argument. They turned to see Kaylee standing there, looking at the two of them with a sad look on her face.
"Can't you two just get over yourselves for five minutes, so we can figure out the bigger picture?"
Artemis and Bradley looked at each other briefly, then back to Kaylee.
"Fine," Bradley said. "But I'm not going with him. Seth, Lewis, back me up. Kaylee, you can back him up."
Bradley started walking and Lewis followed. Seth looked at Artemis and gave him a slight nod of reassurance. He followed after the other two as well. Artemis turned to Kaylee and sighed.
"Alright, well let's go look for this Shadow Spirit," Artemis said. "Do you have any idea where we should start?"
"Well it looks like Bradley and the others headed towards the south side of the city. So we should probably head north, maybe check out the beachside garden."
"Alright then," Artemis said. The two headed off, making their way through the streets. While the city was crowded, no one else seemed to know about the danger that was lurking within the city. As the two got closer to the coast, they noticed a car upside down, with fire burning from within it. Several street lights were also knocked over, and a few civilians were looking around at the situation, wondering what had happened.
"I think we're getting closer," Kaylee said. "I'll call the others." Artemis nodded and the two started to run, heading for the Shadow Spirit.
Artemis and Kaylee soon arrived at the beachside garden. Fire was burning through the garden and overgrown vines seemed to be surrounding overturned trees. In the centre of all the destruction was a creature. It turned around to see the two rangers, where they could get a good look of the creature.
The creature itself seemed almost horrifying. It looked similar to a carnivine, except, instead of a carnivine head, a ferrothorn seemed to replace it entirely, and all the vines, carnivine and ferrothorn ones, seemed to be metallic and covered in spikes. The creature also seemed to have legs, despite a carnivine not having any. The creature seemed to be eyeing the both of them as they approached.
"Hey Shadow Spirit!" Artemis shouted as he walked forward. "What do you think you're doing?"
The creature watched as Artemis walked towards him. Artemis showed no hostility towards the creature, yet one of the monster's vines seemed to be ready to strike.
"Look," Artemis said as he stood two metres away from the monster. "You don't have to destroy anything anymore. We can all live peacefully in this world. Just tell us what you want, and we can all get along."
"Destruction," groaned the creature.
"What?" Artemis asked.
"What I want…" the creature said. "Is destruction!" As the creature finished speaking, the vines lashed out towards Artemis. Artemis couldn't react in time and waited for himself to get hit…
When suddenly, a morphed Bradley jumped in front of Artemis, taking the hit from the creature. Sparks rained down from Bradley's body and he fell to one knee, injured from the attack.
"Bradley, you alright?" Artemis asked, pulling the yellow ranger back.
"Yeah I'm fine…" he said. "Look, you've tried your way. Are you happy now? I understand you're new to this. But I also need you to understand that Shadow Spirits are pure evil, and they need to be defeated at all costs."
"Alright…" Artemis said. "I get it now. Sorry for that." Artemis placed his hand on Bradley's shoulder and gave him a comforting nod. Artemis turned to see Seth and Lewis standing there, already morphed. Kaylee moved over to the group, and nodded to Artemis. "Alright then. Kaylee, let's do this."
The two grabbed their Beast Phones and flipped them open. "Beast Access!" the two of them shouted, as they brought the phone up to their ears, pushing the 'Enter' button at the same time. "Unleash!"
Kaylee had her arms and body in a pouncing pose. Her suit was all white, with golden boots and gloves. She had a plain gold band going around the suit. On the left side of her chest, there was a gold circle, with a black outline of a persian's head inside it. A helmet then formed around her head, mainly white in colour that also looked similar to a persian's head. Her visor was where the open mouth of the persian would be. A small grey mouth piece was underneath the visor. On her hip was a small sword that was sheathed away. There was also a belt buckle that looked like it had a persian's face engraved on it.
"White Persian Ranger!" she shouted.
Artemis' phone spun around and transformed into a humanoid shape, with the arcanine spirit behind it. The phone exploded and revealed Artemis in a fighting pose. His suit was all red, with golden boots and gloves. He had a gold band going around the suit, with four black lines in the band. On the left side of his chest was a golden circle, with a black outline of an arcanine's head inside it. A helmet then formed around his head, mainly red in colour that also looked similar to an arcanine's head. His visor was where the open mouth of an arcanine would be. A small grey mouth piece was underneath the visor. On his hip was a small sword that was sheathed away. There was also a belt buckle that looked like it had an arcanine's face engraved in it.
"Red Arcanine Ranger!" shouted Artemis. The group then stood together as five. Artemis then held his hand to his heart and shouted, "Guardians of the Earth, Rangers of Pokétopia, united we triumph over evil! Poké Rangers! Beast Force!" The rangers struck a pose, as they stared down the creature.
"Is that meant to scare me?!" the creature shouted. "I'm Metavine, one of the strongest Shadow Spirits in existence!"
"Yeah?" Artemis said stepping forward. "Well then, let's see how you handle this! Beast Sabre!"
Artemis charged at Metavine, heading to strike him. Metavine sent two of his vines towards the red ranger who blocked them with his blade. Artemis then moved in to strike the monster, when suddenly, he felt a powerful slash send him flying backwards. The rest of the rangers headed for him, when a powerful blast of energy knocked all of them on their feet. The rangers got up, and saw two new figures, standing alongside Metavine.
"What the, who are you guys?" Bradley asked. The two figures laughed, and the female spoke up.
"I am Viperia," she stated. "A Chaos Spirit."
"And I am Zangax," the other said. "Also a Chaos Spirit."
"Chaos Spirits?" Lewis asked. "What the hell are they?"
"Heh, wouldn't you like to know!" Zangax teased, pointing one of his daggers towards the rangers.
"If you must know," Viperia said, leaning against Zangax. "We're in charge of Shadow Spirits, are we are much, much stronger than them."
The rangers all seemed to instinctively take a step back, worried about what power they might use next. However, the two Chaos Spirits seemed completely uninterested in fighting at the time.
"We're not going to fight you just yet Rangers," Viperia said, as she pulled out a small orb that looked like it was covered in a purple slime. "However, there will be something else that will be assisting Metavine."
"I don't need your help!" Metavine snapped, looking at the two Chaos Spirits, with his vines whipping around. Viperia chuckled.
"Oh trust me, you'll still be the strongest," she said. She then tossed the orb high in to the air. "But this will make things so much easier."
As the orb flew through the air, it exploded into puddles of purple ooze. From each puddle of ooze, three humanoid creatures seemed to be forming from it. The end result was fifteen humanoid soldiers that were armed with clubs. The appearance of the creatures made them look like humanoid grimers, which also had eyes of a butterfree.
"Grimoids!" Viperia shouted. "Attack them!"
The rangers readied themselves as the creatures ran at them. Artemis turned to the group, and they all nodded back, splitting up to fight the Grimoids.
Kaylee ran towards three of the Grimoids that were the farthest from the Chaos Spirits and Metavine. The first one she approached she punched in the gut, and then followed up with a roundhouse kick, knocking it to the ground. One of the other ones went to grab Kaylee, but the white ranger grabbed the Grimoid's hand. She then threw the Grimoid over her head, slamming the creature into the other one. The third Grimoid then went to strike Kaylee with its club, yet she ducked away from the swing and punched the Grimoid twice in the stomach and once in the head, sending the third Grimoid to the floor.
Seth and Lewis stood back to back with each other, looking at the six Grimoids that surrounded them. The two then turned to look at each other and nodded, Lewis bringing out his Sharpedo Cutters. Seth then grabbed Lewis by the legs, lifting him up. Then, Seth started to spin around with Lewis while the blue ranger held out his Sharpedo Cutters. The six Grimoids proved they were not the smartest creatures as they charged at the spinning duo. But as soon as they got close, they were all struck down by the man-made spinning blade. The Grimoids all had sparks fly out from their chests as they fell to the ground in pain. Seth stopped spinning, and Lewis jumped out of his hands and nodded at Seth in approval.
Bradley and Artemis stood side by side as they faced six of their own Grimoids, both of them armed with their Beast Sabres. Bradley and Artemis ran at the Grimoids, and Artemis went to make the first strike. He brought his Beast Sabre across the first Grimoid's chest. It slashed the creature painfully, but it went to retaliate with a strike of its club. Artemis blocked it with his other arm, and then struck the creature again, the Grimoid falling to the ground. Bradley approached one of them and punched it hard in the face, sending it flying into a nearby tree. Bradley then grabbed one of the other Grimoids and threw it into another, sending them both toppling to the ground. Artemis was punching his second Grimoid in the gut, when he felt something hit him from behind. The last Grimoid had struck him hard in the back, and it went to strike again, only its attack never came. Bradley had jumped in with his Beast Sabre, and slashed the Grimoid straight down the back. Artemis nodded to the yellow ranger, and then knocked out the other Grimoid. The two then looked to see the others standing there, having defeated their own Grimoids.
"Alright then," Artemis said, as the team regrouped. "Who's next?"
The two Chaos Spirits laughed as they backed off, letting Metavine walk forward to face the rangers. The creature's vines were flicking around erratically as the creature prepared himself to fight. The rangers all had their Beast Sabres ready.
"Alright then," Artemis said. "Let's defeat this guy as a team!"
"Right!" was the simultaneous response from the rest of the team. The rangers charged, with Artemis taking the lead. The red ranger moved in, aiming for the creature's main body, slashing across its body. Metavine however, reacted quickly, sending a sharp vine slashing across Artemis' body, causing the red ranger to tumble backwards. Seth, lewis and Kaylee all moved in past Artemis, bringing down their blades on the creature. However, it merely blocked their strikes with its vines, and then spun, striking all the rangers viciously. Seth and Lewis fell to their knees while Kaylee managed to keep her footing.
"Damn he's strong," Seth said as he got back up, helping Lewis at the same time.
"Let's get stronger ourselves then," Bradley said. He sheathed his Beast Sabre and held out his right hand. "Pidgeotto Blade!" As the yellow ranger shouted the words, his signature weapon materialized in his hand. With the longer and stronger blade, Bradley ran at Metavine, jumping into the air, and bringing down the blade. The Shadow Spirit crossed over his vines to try and block the attack, which he succeeded in doing. However, despite it defending its body, the vines themselves were sliced off from the attack. Metavine cursed as he moved back. He sent a vine flying towards Bradley, but before it struck, Artemis jumped in front, hitting it back with his Arcanine Fangs.
"I've got your back," Artemis said. Bradley nodded and he charged towards Metavine. As he did, the rest of the team followed behind him. As Metavine went to defend from Bradley's incoming attack, the other four rangers took advantage of him being distracted.
"Slash!" Kaylee shouted, bringing her baton across the monster. Her baton glowed white with energy, striking Metavine.
"Horn Attack!" shouted Seth, as he brought his axe around. The weapon glowed with energy as it struck Metavine, severing two of the creature's vines.
"Crunch!" Lewis shouted, bringing his two cutters across. Metavine felt the pain as the glowing weapons struck him, recoiling back from the attack.
"Now for the fiery blow!" Artemis shouted. "Fire Fang!" Artemis brought both of the gauntlet-like weapons slamming into the monster's head, the gauntlets surrounded by fire with the attack. Metavine felt the blow the most, the fire burning at him powerfully. Metavine recoiled, panting from being overwhelmed.
"Damn you…" he muttered. Artemis smiled beneath his helmet.
"Right then, let's finish this! Weapons unite!" Artemis took the Arcanine Fang and gripped the bottom of the Persian Baton with it. The Pidgeotto Blade's hilt fitted inside the gap in the middle of the Tauros Axe. The Sharpedo Cutters then formed as a connector between the baton and the axe. The sword was formed, and Artemis took it, the other four standing behind him with their hands placed on each other's shoulders.
"Five-Beast Blade!" Artemis cried. Metavine looked at the long blade, fear seeming to form in his eyes. Artemis turned the blade ninety degrees, so the sharp edge was pointing towards the Shadow Spirit. "United Beast Slash!"
Artemis brought down the sword, where the blade formed the even longer, and stronger, energy blade. It sliced through Metavine who shouted in pain as he fell to the ground, exploding as soon as he hit it. The rangers cheered as the sword split back up into its components.
"Yeah!" Kaylee shouted happily. "Teamwork!"
"Yeah, as a team, we are definitely much stronger," stated Lewis. Artemis nodded and turned to Bradley, holding out his hand.
"Sorry about before," Artemis said sincerely. "We good?"
Bradley took the red ranger's hand. "Yeah we're good."
"Actually you're not!"
The rangers turned to see an angry Viperia standing there. She had her staff gripped tightly, that the skin that was showing seemed to be turning white.
"You rangers have no chance of winning yet," she said. She pointed the staff towards the burning remains of Metavine. "Arcane energy of the rift, flow through me and grant this follower the power to destroy!" As Viperia spoke, a purple ball of energy shot out from the seviper tail on the staff. It hit the remains which seemed to ripple with energy. Soon, Metavine stood up, and with a burst of energy, suddenly grew to a huge size.
"So that's how they got so big!" Lewis said. "I thought it was their ego boosting them."
Artemis turned to the group. "We need the Pokémon Zords now!"
The group nodded and formed a circle, pointing their Beast Sabres in to the centre. Artemis then looked to the sky. "Beast Summoning! Pokémon Zords descend!" As Artemis shouted the words, an almighty roar could be heard. A bright white light appeared in the sky, and the five pokémon zords came charging down on a road of light. The five pokémon landed on the ground, ready to fight.
"Get him Arcanine!" Artemis shouted. The fire type roared and he jumped towards Metavine, his front paws surrounded in fire. He tried to strike the creature, but had no success, as a vine wrapped around the Zord and threw it into the Sharpedo Zord.
"Pidgeotto try an aerial attack!" Bradley shouted. Pidgeotto let out a cry in approval. The Zord flew over Metavine's head, trying to dive bomb the monster. Metavine prevented it however, its vines flailing around defensively. One struck out at the flying Zord, sending it tumbling to the ground.
"How are we meant to beat him?" Kaylee asked. "The Zords can't do it by themselves."
Suddenly, Arcanine let out the largest roar, followed by the other Zords. The rangers held their hands to their hearts, and listened to their Zords.
"We need to unite again?" Seth asked. "What does that mean?"
"Well, our weapons can combine," said Lewis. "Maybe the Zords can combine?" Sharpedo let out a growl at what Lewis said. Lewis understood it as a yes, and nodded to his team mates. Artemis looked at the group and nodded.
"Alright then," he said. He popped the Spirit Jewel out of his Beast Sabre, as did the others. The team held out their jewels, then threw them into the air. The jewels started to shine brightly, and spin around in the circle they had formed.
Viperia watched from a distance. "What are they doing Zangax?"
"If I knew, I would tell you," the annoyed warrior said.
As the Chaos Spirit spoke, the jewels then shot high in to the air, still spinning. The Zords all roared again as the jewels then split up, disappearing in to the Zords. The Zords then began to move, with Tauros taking the lead.
The back of the Tauros Zord split open as it roared. The Arcanine Zord then leapt into the air, the front legs folding in, while the back legs rotated up. Two small connectors emerged from the Zord's back. The Arcanine Zord then connected to the Tauros Zord and the Pidgeotto Zord landed on top. The Sharpedo Zord's rear extended outwards, forming a shoulder and connector, while the Persian Zord folded in its legs, and the rear end rotated around, revealing a connector of its own. The Sharpedo Zord and Persian Zord then connected to the Arcanine Zord, the Sharpedo forming the right arm and the Persian forming the left. The underneath of the Tauros Zord then flipped backwards, and the whole body then rotated around, so that the head was still facing forward, as was the Tauros' back that was now legs. The Arcanine's head then shifted forward, giving room for the Pidgeotto Zord to slide in, with the wings folding down around the Arcanine's head. The tail feathers of the Pidgeotto Zord then flipped upwards, and then rotated around, revealing a face. The Megazord then stood tall.
The rangers then jumped in to the air, the energy of the Megazord pulling them in to the chest. The five rangers stood in a room with five white pedestals, with an orb representing their colours in the middle. Instinctively, the rangers took up their positions, and noticed that their jewels were in the centre of their pedestal. Artemis then looked to the others, then to Metavine.
"Beast King Megazord, united we stand!" The Megazord then flexed its arms as Artemis spoke.
Metavine seemed to shift nervously, yet its vines were always on guard. Deciding to take the first move, one of its vines lashed out. As the metal vine slashed across the Megazord, the giant mech made no motion, the attack seeming to have no effect. Metavine appeared worried. He then sent four of his vines to rapidly strike. However, it did nothing at all.
"Why won't you die?!" Metavine shouted, clearly frustrated. Artemis smiled beneath his helmet.
"We will never die," Artemis shouted. "We are the Poké Rangers! We will win! Now it's our turn." The Megazord moved towards Metavine, bringing up the Sharpedo arm.
"Sharpedo Bite!" Lewis shouted. The right arm then struck Metavine with a fierce blow. Before the Shadow Spirit could react, the Persian arm then came up.
"Persian Slash!" said Kaylee. The Persian arm then struck Metavine hard as well, knocking the creature on to the ground. Metavine got up, and seemed either really scared, or really angry. Nevertheless he decided that he'd had enough, and ran at the Megazord.
"Beast King Blade!" Artemis shouted. The Megazord held out the Sharpedo arm, and a sword materialised in it, seeming to resemble the Beast Sabre, except with a longer blade, and a plain black orb instead. As Metavine approached, the Megazord moved to meet the monster in battle, bringing the blade across Metavine's chest. Metavine groaned in pain, stumbling backwards.
"I say we finish this sucker off once and for all," Bradley said, looking at Artemis. Artemis nodded.
"You got it," he said. The rangers then placed their right hand over the jewel in the centre of their pedestals. "Spirits of Pokémon and Humans unite! Spiritual Beast Beam!"
The Megazord pointed its arms towards Metavine, and the mouths on each Zord opened. A beam of energy blasted out from each of the five mouths, each beam representing the respective colour. The blast collided with Metavine, and then blasted straight through the monster. Metavine cried in pain, and exploded with a mighty explosion. The Megazord turned around to look away from the explosion.
"Yeah!" the rangers simultaneously cheered, having defeated Metavine.
"Good work guys," Artemis said, looking at the others, who nodded back at him. "As long as we can stick together, we can do this. We can defeat anything that comes our way."
Viperia and Zangax stormed into their cliff side base. The stone statues seemed to be leering at them, though that could've just been their imaginations.
"Damn those rangers…" Viperia said. "I can't believe we let them beat Metavine…"
"Relax Viperia," Zangax said, tossing his blade in his hand like he regularly did. "Remember the Highness Spirit is going to be here soon. We have nothing to worry about."
"You're right," Viperia said, letting out a sigh. "He can lead us the right way and we can rid this world of the Poké Rangers."
As soon as Viperia finished speaking, the stone fireplace that connected to the Rift seemed to be humming with energy. Purple smoke started to pour from it, spreading over the floor. A bright purple light also began to flow out. A crack seemed to be forming in the wall, and a hand came through. Suddenly, a full body pushed itself through, a burst of energy knocking Viperia and Zangax back. The purple light got insanely bright, and then turned to nothing. The two Chaos Spirits turned to look at the figure that stood there.
The figure was humanoid in shape, almost looking like a very tall and muscular man. However, he had red armour plating all over his body, resembling a Groudon's, with the black lines as well. He had human-like hands that had white pointed nails, like a Groudon's, and he had white spikes going down the side of his body, arms and legs. He had a black cape hanging from his neck, and the top half of his head looked like a Groudon's top half. The bottom half looked human, except the skin was a purple-black colour, and it appeared to have no lips. The creature was wielding a hammer that had a handle that reached the ground, like a staff. The creature then walked forward, looking down on the two Chaos Spirits.
"Get up," the creature said. The two Chaos Spirits nodded and got up quickly, and giving a slight bow to the new arrival. "I… am Highness Spirit Terrus."
"Welcome your Highness," Viperia said, as she and Zangax continued to bow. "It will be an honour to serve by your side."
