Moemon Ranger: Memories of Oblivia Revoir
Chapter 72
"Not so fast." Petal said, frowning. "I'll be the one to take you on."
"Who are you?" Manectric asked. "A human?"
"I'm not just any human." Petal said, smirking. "I've won the Tenkaichi Budoukai three times already."
"That's wrong." Kellyn said, frowning.
"Shut up!" Petal said, frowning. "You're no better than Krillin!"
"Humans shouldn't get involved in this." Blaziken said, frowning. "She challenged me to the battle, not you."
"Fine then." Petal said, frowning. She stepped back, and Blaziken walked up.
"Shock wave!" Manectric said, holding her hand up, releasing a shockwave of lightning at Blaziken. The lightning struck her, sending her moving backwards. Manectric charged at her, gnashing her teeth.
"Mirror move." Blaziken said, holding her hand up, creating red lightning in her hand. She charged at Manectric and struck her in the stomach with the red lightning, knocking her backwards.
"Roar!" Manectric released a shockwave of sound from her mouth that pushed Blaziken backwards, and charged at her.
"Aerial ace." Blaziken said, disappearing. She reappeared behind Manectric and slashed at her.
"Iron tail." Manectric placed her hands on the ground and kicked up with her legs, catching Blaziken in the jaw and knocking her into the air.
"I guess you don't like it when I kick you, huh?" Manectric asked, frowning. "And now you're a sitting duck." Manectric held her hand up, electricity beginning to form from the ceiling, and shot down to strike Blaziken, electrocuting her.
Blaziken fell to the ground in pain, twitching.
"Electro ball." Manectric said, standing over her. She held her hand up, a sphere of electricity forming in her hand. She brought it down towards Blaziken, whose eyes snapped open. She stood up and held her hand up, performing mirror move, and creating her own electro ball of red lightning. Blaziken struck Manectric's ball with her own, the two attacks striking each other at full force and releasing a shockwave of energy, knocking the two of them back.
"Where is she?" Manectric asked, looking around, frowning. However, a blaze kick hit her in the jaw, kicking her into the air. Blaziken jumped up after her, and grabbed her by the waist.
"Seismic pile driver!" Blaziken said, plummeting towards the ground and slamming Manectric into it, Manectric coughing out blood.
Blaziken stood up, shaking her head, and picked up Manectric. She pushed her back onto the ground and held her down, smirking.
"Surrender." Blaziken said, smirking. "Master Weiss has given me my orders, you can't fight them!"
"…Fine." Manectric said, frowning. "I give you the right to pass. However, I need to verify that you won't do anything to harm the Storm Temple. I shall accompany you."
"Fine." Blaziken said, smirking. "After all, I'm not weak enough to let you do any real damage to any of us."
"..." Manectric stared at Blaziken, frowning.
"Good, very good, Blaziken!" Weiss said, appearing in front of them, his face concealed behind his mask.
"Master Weiss!" Blaziken and Manectric said, kneeling in front of Weiss.
"Weiss, what are you doing here?" Petal asked, frowning.
"I'm here to warn you about completing the temple." Weiss said. "You shouldn't do it."
"Shut up, Weiss." Petal said, frowning. "I don't care what you say!"
Petal pushed him out of the way, and walked further into the temple.
"Um, I'm just going to go with her…" Kellyn said, pointing after Petal. The group headed off with him, followed by Blaziken and Manectric.
They moved deeper into the temple, and two more moemon ran up, frowning.
"Trainers!" The two moemon, a Luxray and a Magnezone, appeared before them.
"Well then." Petal said, frowning. "I'll take you guys on!"
"Sorry, but let us do it." Magmortar said, frowning, she and Abomasnow stepping up.
"Us too." Drapion said, Tangrowth nodding as well.
"Fine…" Petal said, shrugging. "I guess I can let you guys handle it."
"Got it!" Magmortar shouted, grinning, charging at Magnezone and Luxray, coating her body in flames. Magnezone levitated out of the way, Luxray jumping back as well. Magmortar jumped up after Magnezone, only to be hit in the back by Luxray's discharge attack.
"Damn it!" Magmortar exclaimed, turning around, but Drapion was quicker.
"Sludge bomb!" Drapion exclaimed, spitting venom at Luxray.
Suddenly, however, Magnezone flew in front of Luxray and took the attack, taking no damage.
"Damn it!" Drapion said, frowning.
"No problems detected." Magnezone said, wiping the toxins off of her body. "Flash cannon."
Magezone launched a beam of light at Drapion, who jumped out of the way.
"Fire fang!" Drapion exclaimed, biting down on Magnezone's shoulder, Magnezone crying out in pain.
"Avalanche…" Abomasnow said, holding her hand up, creating a tidal wave of ice and snow.
"Wait, I'm still here…" Drapion started, but she was caught in the landslide and knocked backwards along with Magnezone, the two buried. Tangrowth glanced over, and held her hand up, vines pulling out of the ice, holding Drapion. The vines gently lowered Drapion onto the ground, Drapion glaring at Abomasnow.
"Apologies." Abomasnow said, frowning.
"Flare blitz!" Magmortar continued to charge at Luxray, but Luxray's speed was too much to deal with.
"…Vine whip…" Tangrowth said, holding her hand up, vines shooting out of the ground and grabbing onto Luxray's foot, tripping her, allowing Magmortar to tackle her head on.
Magnezone stood up from the ice, and launched another flash cannon at Abomasnow, who turned to her, held her hand up, and called the snow over to protect her. The snow swirled in front of Abomasnow, protecting her from damage.
Tangrowth's vines held Magnezone down, allowing Magmortar to hit her with flare blitz as well, turning the flames higher and higher up until she passed out, Magnezone falling unconscious. Luxray stood up and charged at Magmortar, but Drapion hit her with cross poison, badly injuring her with poison as Luxray succumbed to the ground, injured.
"Awesome!" Drapion said, smirking. "It seems we are indeed a match for half the number of moemon."
"…That would be obvious…" Tangrowth said, Drapion pulling her hair in frustration.
EoS: So, in the next chapter, they face the boss of the Storm Temple!
Lauren: I wonder what it could be!
