Moemon Ranger: Memories of Oblivia Revoir
Chapter 59
"Thundershock!" Pichu exclaimed, firing a bolt of lightning at Armaldo, who swatted the weak attack like it was nothing.
"Whirlwind!" Kurou said, releasing a strong blast of wind that began pushing Armaldo backwards.
"Annoying." Armaldo said, frowning. "That's so annoying! Try fighting for real!" Armaldo launched a blast of rocks at Kurou, who dodged the attacks, flying into the air.
"Okay then, if that's how you want it!" Kurou exclaimed. "Brave bird!" Kurou focused her body with energy, and charged at Armaldo head on, striking into her with a tackle, knocking her into the water as Kurou flew into the air. She flinched from the pain of using the attack, and almost fell.
"Excellent!" Armaldo exclaimed, standing from the water, laughing wildly. "That's the kind of power I wanted to see from you!"
Armaldo charged at Kurou, who soared higher, but Armaldo opened her mouth and fired a blast of water at her, Kurou twisting to dodge the water pulse. Suddenly, portions of the ruins tore themselves out of the ceiling and fell on her, Kurou being struck by Armaldo's ancientpower attack.
"Is that all you can do?" Armaldo asked, staring down at the moemon being pinned by rubble.
"Not even close." Kurou glared. "Close combat!"
Kurou maximized her destructive power and shoved the rocks off of her, and then charged at Armaldo and began hitting her at full force, knocking her backwards with a barrage of powerful attacks.
"Excellent!" Armaldo exclaimed. "Crush claw!" Armaldo struck Kurou with her claws, badly injuring her. She knocked Kurou back, Kurou coughing in pain.
"Is that all you can do?" Armaldo asked, frowning.
"Why are you doing this?" Petal demanded.
"I want to fight strong opponents!" Armaldo said, laughing. "The Moemon Pinchers said that if I fought against you, I could fight against the strongest opponents there were!"
"But you're taking orders from them." Kellyn said, frowning.
"Right." Armaldo said, nodding.
"So, doesn't that mean that they're strong, since they can boss you around?" Kellyn asked, frowning.
"What?" Armaldo asked, confused.
"If you really want to fight strong opponents, then doesn't that mean that you should fight the Moemon Pinchers, who are trying to control the legendary moemon, who are stronger than any other moemon?"
"Uh…" You could actually hear Armaldo's brain shorting out as Kellyn confused her. "Yeah, that's right, I'll fight the Moemon Pinchers!"
"See? Isn't controlling stupid people fun?" Petal asked, smiling.
"Yeah, I guess." Kellyn said, nodding. He released his capture styler and caught Armaldo.
Moemon: Armaldo
Type: Rock/Bug
Poke Assist: Rock
Field Move: Cut x4
Info: Armaldo are violent and aggressive, and enjoy fighting. They train their claws to cut through anything, and enjoy fighting against strong opponents to sharpen their cutting techniques.
"Alright, just point me towards those Moemon Pinchers!" Armaldo said, draping an arm over Kellyn and Petal's shoulders.
"Um, let's just keep walking…" Kellyn said, shaking. Kellyn walked over to Kurou and helped her up.
"Sorry about that, kid!" Armaldo said, extending her hand. "All in good fun!"
Kurou held out her hand and shook Armaldo's hand, only to be crushed in her powerful grip.
"…Sorry, does that hurt?" Armaldo asked, frowning.
"Very much so, yes." Kurou said, nodding.
"Sorry about that." Armaldo said, pulling back her hand, patting Kurou on the back, nearly knocking her over. "I guess I don't know my own strength!"
Armaldo turned to the two rangers, grinning. "So, which way?"
The now group of five headed out of the ruins, when they were stopped by a Steelhead.
"Armaldo, how dare you betray us?" The Steelhead exclaimed. "We, guardians of these ruins, shall pass judgment on you!"
The Steelhead held his hands up, and directed the moemon who lived in the room to attack, two Kabuto and two Anorith.
The Kabuto wore brown shirts with yellow sleeves and black skirts, and had brown hair down to their necks and red eyes.
The Anorith wore grey shirts with green trim and grey skirts, and had green and grey hair down to their shoulders with red eyes.
"Big sister Armaldo?" One of the Kabuto asked. "Why do we have to fight you?"
"It's not fair, you're supposed to help us!" One of the Armaldo cried.
"Sorry, I don't want to fight you, but you're getting in my way of fighting worthy opponents." Armaldo said, frowning. "Now, will you get out of the way?"
"I'm sorry, we can." One of the Anorith said, shaking her head.
"I understand." Armaldo said, nodding. She raised her hand, and swatted the four out of the way like bugs.
"Get out of my way." Armaldo glared at the Steelhead, who nodded, turned, and walked away.
"Okay, let's get going!" Armaldo said, grinning, walking into the tunnel cheerfully.
"She's… Plucky." Petal said, smiling. "You know, I think you can have her."
"I don't want her." Kellyn said, trembling. "I think she's a perfect match for you."
"Hey!" Armaldo said, sticking her head back into the room, the two jumping in surprise.
"You two coming, or what?" Armaldo asked, frowning.
"R-Right." Kellyn said, nodding, the four following Armaldo.
"Now, past this point, the rooms are filled with lots of booby-traps, so you'd better follow exactly." Armaldo said, stepping on a special panel, a large rock falling onto her head and cracking.
"…That was just a college prank." Armaldo said, smiling.
"You fell for that trap and you know it!" Petal and Kellyn exclaimed.
"Come on, what do I look like, an idiot?" Armaldo asked, stepping onto another panel, spikes shooting out from the ground all around them, the other four jumping back before their feet were filled with holes.
They eventually made it past the booby-traps, after Armaldo triggered ALL of them, and made it outside into the fresh air, overlooking a large lake.
"…Okay, break time!" Armaldo said, smiling.
"Hey, why do you get a break?" Petal exclaimed. "We've just been dodging booby-traps YOU triggered, WE'RE the ones who need a break!"
"Gosh, complain much?" Armaldo sighed, rolling her eyes.
EoS: I like Armaldo.
Lauren: So do I.
