Wow, I didn't get very many reviews for that last chapter. Please review!
Mobiusfan: Petal won't be getting her companion for a long time.
The Black Okami: Okay I won't ask.
Nova: But this is five years in the future.
Jake: Welcome back. But don't worry, I won't name her Yuki.
Moemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia
Chapter 10
"Alright, Kellyn, you're back!" Barlow said as I walked into the ranger base, Kurou following after me happily.
"Listen, I need to tell you about what I saw at Marine Cave." I panted. I told them the whole story about the fire hydrant type thing, and how it was only destroyed with a target clear.
"I see…" Barlow said, frowning. "You've been through a lot. Well, in light of your instincts and courage at saving the moemon, I'm promoting you to Ranger Rank 1!"
"Alright!" I said, smiling.
"Okay, I'm going to go contact the strongest person in town." Barlow said, walking over to the phone. "I'll go see if she can go grab that fire hydrant."
A few minutes later, Petal came into the ranger base, smiling.
"Oh, Kelly, you're finally up?" Petal asked, smiling. "Anyways, get this! I just helped this one guy named Tim out with the milking of his Miltank!"
"Really?" Barlow asked, surprised. "Well, I'm promoting you to Ranger Rank 1!"
"Yay!" Petal said, smiling, throwing her arms up victoriously.
"But my mission was much harder!" I said. "I should be up at level 2 if that's all it takes!"
"Welcome to Vientown." Barlow said, smiling.
The next notable thing that happened was a large, massive woman with bulging muscles walked into the ranger base, holding the destroyed fire hydrant under one muscled arm, dropping it to the floor.
"Here's the fire hydrant." The woman said, her deep voice booming. She thundered out of the building, heading off to her house.
"Ah, that's Big Bertha." Barlow said, laughing. "She can't give birth and she has an adams apple, but she's the strongest woman in all of Vientown."
"Yeah. Right." Petal and I said, the same patronizing smirk on our faces.
That morning, I woke up after a nice night with Kurou. I stretched, and pulled my clothes on, heading out into the lobby.
"What's that smell?" I asked, sniffing the air.
"This is an emergency!" Barlow shouted. "The Vien Forest is on fire!"
"What's on fire?" Petal asked, walking into the room, yawning.
"The Vien Forest!" Barlow exclaimed. "Petal, you and Kellyn go out and see if you can put a stop to the fire!"
"How are we supposed to do that?" Petal exclaimed.
"There should be a Blastoise in there somewhere." Crawford explained. "You guys need to find it, while we focus on helping out the citizens."
"Alright, Kelly, let's go." Petal said, nodding, the two of us rushing out into the forest, Kurou following after us.
"Ugh…" I said, covering my eyes with my sleeve. "I can't see a thing in all this smoke!"
"Oh, I can help with that!" Kurou said, flapping her wings, blowing the smoke away from us. Petal's eyes scanned the area, immediately landing on a little girl with a moemon, crying.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Petal asked, kneeling next to the little girl.
"M-my three other Happiny…" The girl cried. "Th-they all got separated from me in the commotion…"
"Alright, Kelly, you go find the Happiny, while I bring the girl to safety." Petal said, taking the girl's hand, standing up, leading her and her Happiny out of the forest. I made a mental note of the moemon, for later. She wore a pink shirt and dark pink skirt, and she had pink hair tied up in a small ponytail.
Kurou and I ran into the forest, Kurou blowing the smoke away, as I looked for the Happiny. I bumped into one of them, who was looking around worriedly. I released my styler and looped around her a few times, catching her.
Moemon: Happiny
Type: Normal
Poke Assist: Normal
Field Move: Crush x1
Info: Happiny are very cheerful and happy moemon. They are very kind to everyone, willing to help them out. They release eggs from their mouths that can crush stones.
"Alright, you need to come with me." I said. Soon enough, I found the other two, and brought the three of them out. The girl thanked Petal and I, and ran off with her Happiny. Petal and I ducked back into the forest, and began looking for the Blastoise.
"So, where would it be?" Petal asked, frowning, looking around through the black smoke, coughing.
"I… I'm not sure…" I coughed out, smoke growing in my throat. "Maybe by the river?" Petal and I ran over towards the river, looking around for the water moemon. We couldn't find a single water moemon, fearing that they might have hidden in the water. However, soon enough, we arrived at a makeshift dock on the rivers' edge, where a moemon was standing. She wore a brown jacket over a yellow shirt, with two hydro cannons emerging from the jacket, with blue hair down her back, red eyes, and blue pants.
"What do you want?" The Blastoise demanded, frowning. "You stupid humans are trying to take away the only place we can live!"
"What?" I exclaimed, shocked. "No we're not! Why would we want to do something as terrible as that?"
"I don't care why, and I don't believe you, either!" The Blastoise shouted, charging at me angrily.
I released my styler from the controller, directing it at her, creating loops around her body.
However, the Blastoise lowered herself down and released a blast of water from her hydro cannons, breaking through the loop line, damaging my styler.
"Oh, no you don't!" Kurou shouted, running onto the dock, holding up her hands, creating a tornado, which lifted Blastoise into the air.
"Hydro pump!" Blastoise shouted, releasing a blast of water at Kurou, knocking her off the dock and into one of the trees, washing her up and knocking her unconscious.
"Kurou, are you alright?" I shouted.
"Yeah, I'm fine…" Kurou said, dizzily, falling to the ground.
"Alright, styler, go!" I said, looping the styler at the Blastoise, but she broke through it.
"Kelly, let me do it!" Petal said, shooting a styler out of the controller, looping it around the Blastoise, moving in a way that she was never directly in the line of fire, maneuvering around the cannons, capturing her.
"What?" Blastoise asked, frowning. "You're rangers who are trying to put a stop to the fire?"
"Yeah." Petal said, nodding. "Let's go!" Petal ran off into the flames with the Blastoise following after her. I picked up Kurou and followed after her, Petal reaching the center of the flames. Blastoise released a blast of water into the air, creating a sprinkler of rain, putting the flames out.
"Alright, we did it!" Petal cheered, smiling.
"Ugh…" A voice groaned, as a man walked into the clearing, collapsing to the ground.
So, who is this man, and what does he have to do with the fire? Review!
