Alright, here's another chapter! What'll happen?
Leafeon of Flame: Exactly, what he said.
DarkWolfAssassin: Very true.
Numbershooter: Yup.
TheLightningPunisher: No, they aren't going to use her as a weapon, they're trying to cure her. But they are hypocrites, because they still force moemon/pokemon into labor.
Moemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia
Chapter 80
"So this is the Haruba Desert, huh?" I said, the boat pulling up to the pier of the Haruba Island. The island was rather flat, and lined with mountain tops.
"Hey, Eevee, be sure to visit back at the Ranger Union!" Kurou said, smiling. "We'll be staying in our room!"
"All right, let's go!" Petal said, walking towards the town, Kana and Rimei accompanying the three of us. The boat sped off towards the Ranger Union, and we headed into the sandstorm that surrounded the town. I held out my styler, and looked at the viewer to try and find out where Keith's styler was located.
"I think it's in the temple!" I said, frowning. We moved through the town, and headed off towards the desert to the north. We walked across the sands of the desert as the sandstorm struck into us, and tried to find the temple we were searching for.
"Is that it?" I asked, pointing at a large temple in the shape of a Hippo.
"I think so, yeah." Petal said, nodding. We headed towards the temple, but suddenly we were stopped by a large void between us and the temple, a large chasm before us.
"Can you fly?" Petal asked Kana and Kurou.
"Not in this weather…" Kana said, frowning.
"I'd get blown away." Kurou finished.
"All right then, we need to find something else then." Kana said, frowning.
"Well, it IS called Hippowdon Temple." Petal said, smiling. "Maybe we should find a Hippowdon."
"Someone call me?" A Hippowdon asked, emerging from the sands behind them. They turned around and saw the moemon, who frowned. She wore a black bodysuit with tan pads, and brown hair down to her shoulders, held by a black headband, and bright red eyes.
"All right." I said, smiling. "Rimei, go!"
"Right!" Rimei said, spitting a stream of water at the Hippowdon, knocking her backwards.
"All right, Rimei, into the capture styler!" I ordered, Rimei turning into energy and then entering the styler, creating a star of energy around it, water swirling around the track of light behind her. The styler shot towards Hippowdon, and began looping around her, keeping her in place with the water. Hippowdon was easily captured, and her data was recorded.
Moemon: Hippowdon
Type: Ground
Poke Assist: Ground
Field Move: Sand Fill x-
Info: Hippowdon are very fierce moemon, and are very loyal and noble. They will protect areas by setting up sandstorms, which they use to blind their opponents. They are surprisingly quick to anger, and will launch waves of sand at the slightest provocation.
"So, what would you like me to do for you?" Hippowdon asked, smiling. "I can help you with whatever you wish to do."
"Well, can you get us into that temple?" I asked.
"Oh, I certainly can." Hippowdon said, smiling. "Watch!" Hippowdon held her hands up, and the sand swirled around her, and filled the crevice, the sky finally clear above our heads.
We looked around, surprised. We were within a large chasm, rock walls on either side of us, the temple carved into one of the walls.
"Let's go, master." Kurou said, gesturing to the temple.
"So, call on me if you need my help again!" Hippowdon said, waving goodbye to us as we walked into the temple.
The temple was rather impressive. It was large, and the ceiling was raised high above us. The walls were etched with runes and pictures, and we arrived at a doorway. We walked through the stone doors, and arrived at another room. This next room was long, and had several waist sized walls. The sides of the room were filled with currents of sand, pushing down towards us. We walked down the long room, but boulders fell down from the ceiling, the five of us jumping around worriedly.
"Come on, run!" I exclaimed, the five of us running at full speed towards the other end of the room. We ducked into the doorway, and arrived at another room, which was even weirder. This room was a large winding pathway that was hard to walk across, moving around like a maze. The paths were suspended over a large abyss, which we couldn't see down. That was not a good sign.
"This is gonna suck…" Petal and I said at once.
"To bad you can't fly." Kana said, smiling. She and Kurou flapped their wings, and headed towards the opposite side of the room as we walked across the pathways. Suddenly, however, a blast of sand shot out from the wall, striking into Kana, knocking her out of the air. Kana fell towards the abyss, but I reached out and grabbed her hand, holding onto her as Rimei and Kurou held onto me. Petal and I helped Kana up, Kana panting from the fear of nearly falling.
"Thanks…" Kana said, panting. "I don't think I want to fly right now…"
"Let's keep going." I said, frowning. We made our way across the maze, dodging the blasts of sand, and arrived at the next room. The next room was a long hallway, which led to another doorway in front of a large hole in the floor. We walked through the door, and arrived at another room, a Drifblim inside of it.
"All right, let's go!" I said, capturing the Drfiblim, using her to fly up into the air along with Petal and Rimei, as Kurou and Kana flew up alongside us, as we arrived at the next room.
"Guys…" Vui walked over to us, panting. She was badly injured somehow, and we ran over to her.
"Vui!" I exclaimed, smiling.
"I need your help…" Vui said, shaking. "Please… It's master… I need your help…"
So, what could Vui need their help with? Let's find out!
