Sorry this is late. My internet couldn't connect. It might have been an accident, but you can consider this my own April Fools Day Prank.

RandomDragon: Well, you'll see who he is eventually… Maybe…

LightningPunisher: I did.

Moemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia

Chapter 51

We made our way out of the mist, and arrived at the road leading to the large city of Pueltown. Which says town, but trust me, I've been there. It's a city.

"Alright, I'll be heading back to the Ranger Union." Sven said, smiling. "You kids should head back too." Sven climbed atop a Doduo that he'd hitched up, and Lucy held onto him. The Doduo charged down the grass plains, and headed off into the distance.

"Alright, so let's head back." I said, smiling. We began our long walk down the road, heading to Pueltown. And when I say long walk, I mean a LONG walk. It was probably about a mile from where we were to where we needed to go. However, I figured that the sooner we got started, the sooner we'd get there, so we started walking.

"My feet hurt…" Keith complained as we walked.

"We're not even in Pueltown yet!" Petal exclaimed. "You're just too weak!"

"…Actually, we are in Pueltown." I said, pointing out the sign labeled "Pueltown" to her.

"Oh." Petal said, surprised. "You're still too weak."

After resting up for a while, we began the second half of our journey. We continued to walk, Keith complaining about everything short of the weather (which was actually quite nice) and after a while, we reached the Ranger Union.

"Finally!" Keith exclaimed. "Come on Vui, let's ditch these guys and go have sex."

"…Okay." Vui said, following after him.

"You guys can go report!" Keith called back to us as he ran up the escalator.

"Damn it!" Petal exclaimed, pissed. "I wanted to run away and have sex, but he beat us to it!"

"Sorry, but I think that it's best that we report too." I said, frowning. "I'm really exhausted from all the walking we just did, so I think we should just report to Erma and then go to sleep.

"But I don't wanna sleep!" Petal whined. "Come on, let's have sex!"

"You're like a broken record…" I said, face palming.

"I… I… agree with her…" Mary said, looking away, blushing.

"You too?" I asked, sighing.

"Uh-huh…" Mary said, nodding timidly. "Please… could we?"

"…We'll see…" I said, blushing. "Those puppy-dog eyes of hers could probably convince me to do anything she asked…"

"Kelly, you weren't thinking that last part." Petal said, frowning jealously, Mary smiling confidently like she'd won something.

"…Alright, we'll see what happens…" I said, turning, walking to the escalator. "But after we talk to Erma, alright?"

"Okay." Petal said, smiling happily.

We headed up to the escalator until we reached the second to last floor, where Erma waited.

"Welcome back." Erma said, smiling. "For starters, I'd just like to say that Sven's request for a few rangers to serve as backup? We staged that."

"…" Petal said, an irritation mark throbbing on her head.

"We just received Sven's report." Erma said, smiling. "He stated that your performance was 'flawless' and that you were some of the best rangers he'd worked with. Even if your… 'emotional matters' were a little shaky."

"…" Petal said, the irritation mark continuing to throb.

"Ah, yes, and you should check in on the research room." Professor Hastings said. "Murph said he had something he wanted to show you."

"Great, we're still not done?" Petal complained, frowning. "Okay, come on Kelly, we might as well check this out."

Petal and I walked downstairs to the research room, and entered it to see the slightly pudgy chief, Murph.

"Oh, Petal, Kellyn, good to see you!" Murph said, smiling. "Listen, we've analyzed the diary, and we've discovered who it belongs to!"

"Who?" I asked, surprised.

"Brighton Hall!" Murph exclaimed, excited.

"Seriously?" Petal asked, surprised. "Wow, that came out of nowhere."

"Who's Brighton Hall?" I asked, frowning.

"Brighton Hall was the second president of Altru Corporation." Petal explained.

"…What's Altru again?" I asked, rubbing my head sheepishly.

"Seriously?" Petal asked, staring at me.

"Seriously?" Petal asked, staring at Murph, who shrugged.

"SERIOUSLY?" Petal asked, staring at the fourth wall.

"What?" I asked, frowning.

"We'll have reached our one year anniversary next week, and we still haven't even mentioned ALTRU CORPORATION YET?" Petal exclaimed.

"What the hell have you been doing this last year?" Petal exclaimed at the fourth wall. "Have you been sitting home in your house just lounging around, not bothering with even trying to give any foreshadowing in your story in the slightest? What, is this some kind of horrible April Fools Joke? Is that why we haven't seen any mention of Altru Corporation?

"Petal, who are you talking to?" I asked, incredibly weirded out by Petal's exclamations.

"Shut up for a while, Kelly." Petal said, frowning. "You know what? Sex can wait. We're going to the Altru building right now, and we're gonna drag some foreshadowing into it whether that guy likes it or not!"

With that, Petal grabbed onto my and Mary's hands, and dragged us out of the Research Room and down the escalator. Once we got outside, she finally let us go.

"Alright, we're gonna head out to the Altru Building, okay?" Petal asked. I could tell she was almost at her breaking point. She seemed to be inhaling and exhaling smoke. Mary and I, petrified, just nodded.

"OKAY?" Petal asked with venom in her voice.

"…Okay…" The two of us said, shaking.

"Good." Petal said, smiling. "Now then, it's going to be a long journey, so we should probably get some Doduo for the trip there."

We headed to the fields where the Doduo for Rangers were kept, and in a few seconds the two from before rushed up to us.

"Hello!" My Doduo said, beaming brightly. "Glad you came! Could you choose me again?"

"Okay, sure!" I said, smiling.

"Um… I can… help you too…" The Doduo said, blushing. "If… if you want…"

"Okay, sure." Petal said, smiling. "Alright, let's go! To Altru Building!"

"Yeah…" Mary and I said with as much enthusiasm as we could with our fears.

So, how was that? It's a day late, but Happy April Fools! And do you think that I just noticed that today was April First and didn't mention Altru, or do you think I plotted this from the beginning? You decide!
