Moemon Ranger: Memories of Oblivia Revoir
Chapter 67
The group walked through the forest of Sophian Island until they arrived at the ruins.
"So, according to Supurna, it should be somewhere around here, right?" Kellyn asked, frowning.
"Dang, if only we knew someone who knew the insides of these ruins…" Petal said, frowning. "Wait a second!"
Petal held her styler up, and summoned Suicune to her side.
"How may I be of assistance?" Suicune asked.
"Um, Suicune, have you seen a statue like this?" Petal asked, showing Suicune a picture of the statues.
"So, you're searching for the Eon Monolith." Suicune said, frowning. "Very well then. I shall show you where the Sophian Island Monolith is hidden, but that is the only one I know of."
"Okay, thanks." Petal said, nodding. Suicune guided the group through the ruins, until they arrived at a small strip of stone jutting out over the water, with a small pillar in the center of it. Carved in the center of the pillar were three dots.
"Thanks." Kellyn said, running over to it, and placing his hand on it. The statue released a third pillar of light up into the air. Petal checked her map, and saw that the second and third statues had connected with a pillar of light.
"We were right, they're tracing a pattern." Petal said, frowning.
"The fourth one is on Dolce Island." Kellyn said, frowning. "We need to get there, I guess."
"Sounds good!" Petal said, grinning. "Thanks, Suicune!"
The two flew off into the air with their moemon, and flew towards Dolce Island. They landed on the island, and the two climbed off, looking around suspiciously.
"Any ideas where the statue would be?" Kellyn asked, turning to Pichu.
"Oh, I do!" Pichu said, her eyes brightening. She ran through the forest of her home island, greeting the other Pichu she had freed. She arrived at the small statue, which overlooked the ocean. The statue had four dots etched into it. Petal placed her hand on it, and a fourth pillar of light shot up into the air. Petal checked the map again, and realized that they were definitely connecting in a line now, forming an image that resembled a star.
"So, the next statue is in the center of the ocean." Petal said, frowning.
"Well, if THAT'S all…" Kellyn said, rolling her eyes.
"PETAL!" Kana's voice came blasting out of the styler, Petal switching to the phone mode.
"Geez, what's so important that you had to shout my ear off?" Petal demanded, frowning.
"The Monolith!" Kana said. "The one on the island! Something weird is happening with it."
"Weird how?" Petal asked, frowning.
"It began glowing." Kana said, concern in her voice. "Kind of like a rainbow. It seems to glow brighter whenever one of the pillars lights up, so it's really bright now."
"I see…" Petal said, smiling. "Okay, thanks."
"Wait, can I talk to master?" Kana asked.
"…No." Petal said, hanging up.
"So, the middle of the ocean?" Kellyn asked, smiling.
"…Yes, the middle of the ocean." Petal said, frowning. Their flying moemon flew them towards where they assumed the next statue would be, judging by the map and the position of Tilikule Island and Sophian Island.
"So, according to my calculations, it should be right about there." Leanne said, frowning. "So, do you see anything?"
"…Water." Petal snarked.
"I know you see water." Leanne said, frowning. "Anything else?"
"…No." Petal said, shaking her head.
"Then jump in." Leanne said, frowning.
"…What?" Petal asked, frowning.
"Jump in." Leanne said, frowning.
"YOU jump in." Petal snapped.
"I'm not jumping in." Kurou said, shaking her head. "I don't swim, I sink."
"I'm not good with water either…" Pichu said, shaking her head.
"I love water." Aeris said, grinning. "Armaldo used to live in water, so I'm fine in it!"
"Really?" Petal asked. "You look like you'd sink like a rock."
"Nonsense!" Armaldo said, jumping into the water. "I can swim, see?"
"…So, are you going to be outdone by a moemon?" Kellyn asked, smirking.
"If I'm swimming, you're swimming." Petal glared. "This was your stupid idea."
"This was YOUR stupid idea." Kellyn sighed. However, the two jumping into the water, considering the ranger uniforms were practically swimsuits anyway.
"So, dive?" Kellyn asked.
"Dive." Petal said, nodding. The three of them dove into the water, while the two Staraptor flew over their heads.
The rangers placed on their breathing devices, and swam deep into the water. They continued to swim down into the darkness, their only light from the Chinchou swimming around them.
"I just thought of something!" Petal said, grinning. She released her capture styler through the water and looped around one of the Chinchou.
Moemon: Chinchou
Type: Water/Electric
Poke Assist: Recharge
Field Move: Recharge 1
Info: Chinchou use the lights from their body to illuminate the dark water around them and guide other moemon. The electricity they produce is capable of being discharged through the water.
The Chinchou swam up to them, smiling. She wore a blue one piece swimsuit with blue stockings, and had blue hair down to her shoulders, tied in two ponytails. At the end of each ponytail her hair was yellow, and shining with light to illuminate the ocean around her.
"Chinchou, can you help us see in the water?" Petal asked through her voice filter.
"Of course!" Chinchou said, grinning. The group swam down deep into the water, lighting up the ocean around them with Chinchou's help. They continued to swim downwards, and finally they saw a statue imbedded deep in the rocks on the seafloor.
"There it is!" Kellyn said through the voice filter. They swam down towards it, but were stopped by a Kingdra. The Kingdra wore blue kimono over a yellow cloth with large white fins behind her, with long blue hair down her back, and bright red eyes, which glared at the two of them angrily.
"Well, this is a problem." Petal said, frowning.
"Oh hell yes!" Aeris exclaimed. "Now it's my turn!"
EoS: So, will Aeris defeat Kingdra?
Lauren: Do you even need to ask?
