Lauren: Again? Really? Try something else!
LexiconHuka:
EoS: Okay.

Lauren: Yes, I know, I'm awesome.
Moemon Ranger: Memories of Oblivia Revoir
Chapter 46
"Any ideas where Suicune would be hiding?" Kellyn asked, frowning.
"One." Petal said, frowning. "Remember, both Raikou and Entei were hiding in places with sunlight streaming down on them."
"So, what's your point?" Kellyn asked, frowning.
"It would have to be a place out in the open, for sunlight to hit it, but it wouldn't be too easy to find. I have an idea." Petal typed something in to her styler.
"Hey, Leanne, it's Petal." An image of Leanne's face appeared on the screen of Petal's styler.
"Oh, Petal!" Leanne said, surprised. "I was just working on my computer, when this happened. I was wondering who it was that was messaging me."
"What do you know about Sophian Island?" Petal asked, frowning. "Is there any connection to Suicun on the island?"
"Well, I have heard that Suicune is the guardian protector on the island, but other than that…" Leanne said, frowning. "I'm not sure about what else there could be…"
"What about ruins?" Kellyn asked suddenly. "Are there any ancient ruins or monoliths you know about?"
"Well, I think there are a few…" Leanne said, nodding. "There used to be a shrine to Suicune on the west side of the island…"
"West, huh?" Petal and Kellyn said at once, looking at each other. "I guess we're going west."
The four headed towards the west of the island, when suddenly a figure emerged in front of them.
"Oh no…" Petal said, frowning.
"Not now…" Kellyn said, frowning.
"Yes, now." Celebi said, nodding. "We have need of you, you must conquer the Volcano Temple."
"…Fine." Petal said, frowning.
"Kana, Kurou, just hold tight." Kellyn said, turning to them, frowning. "If all goes as it should, we should be back before you even notice we're gone."
"We're coming with you, then!" Kana exclaimed. "Don't think I'll let some weird moemon drag you god knows where by yourselves!"
"Impossible." Celebi said, shaking her head. "I can only bring the two of them to the past."
"…" Petal and Kellyn looked at Kana and Kurou sadly.
"We'll be back soon." Petal said, frowning, Kellyn nodding in agreement. Celebi snapped her fingers, and the two traveled back in time to the Volcano Temple.
Petal and Kellyn were standing outside the large red temple, standing in the molten area around it.
"You two!" A voice shouted. Petal and Kellyn turned to the owners of the voices, and saw three moemon standing there, frowning.
"Wait a second, you guys are…" Petal said, surprised.
"Surprised to see us, huh?" Drapion asked, smirking. She, Venusaur, and Tangrowth were standing there, glaring at the three.
"But… How? Why?" Petal asked, shocked.
"Oh, some guy named 'Aurore' told us where you guys would be." Drapion said, shrugging.
"Wait, Aurore?" Petal asked, shocked. "That can't be!"
"I guess it is." Tangrowth said, frowning.
"Yup, we're back!" Venusaur said, smiling, hugging Kellyn tightly.
"Why did you guys come to us, though?" Kellyn asked, frowning.
"Well, we talked it over…" Drapion said, shrugging.
"And we all agreed that you two were trying to save all of us, even though you aren't even from this time…" Tangrowth said, looking down.
"And because of that, we decided to help you!" Venusaur finished, smiling.
"So, first the Jungle Temple, now the Volcano Temple…" Drapion said, frowning. "I see… Well, good luck with all of that. We'll be certain to help you as much as we can!"
"We look forward to your help." Petal said, smiling. The two shook hands, grinning.
The five entered the Volcano Temple, which was quite similar to the Jungle Temple, except that the bricks that made it up were orange and red, and all around the temple were pools of magma.
"Ooh, we don't want to fall in that…" Venusaur said, clinging onto Kellyn's body.
"Intruders!" A voice exclaimed, a figure shooting towards them. Venusaur ducked, pulling Kellyn down with her. The figure touched down on the stone path between two pools of magma. She placed her hands on the ground, and flipped up into the air, lowering down in front of Kellyn and Venusaur.
"You, grass and poison moemon!" The figure exclaimed. "What business do you have entering the Volcano Temple?"
The figure was a moemon, a Blaziken. She looked down at the two of them, frowning.
"We're here to help save the Volcano Temple." Kellyn said, frowning. "Please, you need to let us through."
"And why would I listen to a human?" Blaziken demanded. "You humans are meant to serve us, which is why we live in the temples and you humans are forced to fend for themselves."
"Really?" Petal said, surprised. "Because it's the opposite where we come from."
"Oh, what's it like for you guys?" Tangrowth asked, turning to Petal, her eyes shining. "Do humans and moemon live together in happiness?"
"…Relatively, yes…" Petal said, nodding, turning away from the innocent moemon.
"It does not matter!" Blaziken exclaimed. "You, you moemon decided to bring a human into our sacred temple! For that, the punishment is severe! You humans shall be put to death, and you moemon shall be cruelly injured for what you have done!"
"Now, now, let's not overreact." Blaziken turned to see a figure standing behind her. And slightly above. He was standing on the air.
"Weiss!" Petal exclaimed, shocked.
"He will be addressed as Master Weiss!" Blaziken exclaimed.
"I told you not to overreact." Weiss said. "Stand down, Blaziken, and do NOT make me repeat myself."
"Yes, Master Weiss…" Blaziken said, shaking, collapsing to the ground.
"Now then, Blaziken, I will forgive you, but I want you to do something for me." Weiss said.
"Ask me whatever you wish, Master Weiss." Blaziken said, frowning.
"I want you to assist these humans." Weiss said.
"But…" Blaziken started.
"No." Weiss said, shaking his head. "You will do this. I need your help. This temple, along with the other temples, has fallen into darkness. I need your help to overthrow the darkness possessing the Sacred Priests. Blaziken, you're the only one I can rely on to help. Can I count on you?"
"Of course, Master Weiss." Blaziken said, nodding.
"I expect great things from you, Moemon Rangers." Weiss said, turning to Kellyn and Petal before disappearing.
"…Rangers?" Kellyn and Petal asked, shocked.
"What's a 'ranger'?" Tangrowth asked, confused.
EoS: So, what could Weiss be planning?
Lauren: Obviously, he's a good guy trying to save the Sacred Priests from the darkness.
EoS: …Obviously.
