A/N: Here is a new chapter of Poké Rangers Dino Charge!
Last time on Poké Rangers Dino Charge…
Leona and Aurorus were taken captive by Ferro Fett and Gircannon. Using new technology, Ferro Fett wanted to use the energy crystal to tap into Aurorus to destroy. The rangers also faced Sinustis, who also was able to track them down at Jo's base. Jo was able to destroy the base, but now will need to save Leona and Aurorus at the ship. While Joe and the others fought, Mack, Thomas, Kyland and Jo headed toward Ferro Fett's Ship to save Leona. While damaging it and destroying it, Gircannon releases his secret weapon Giraton to revive the falling ship… and it did a good job destroying and damaging the zords. What will the rangers be able to do now? Find out next!
Back at Lake Valor Dam…
Fire and smoke occurred throughout as the zords were all knocked down to the ground. Sparks and flames occurred as Kyland and Thomas headed back. The two were devastated with what they saw as they turned to look at Giraton on the ground. Thomas froze, seeing the destruction all around him. He turned to see Rampardos, down for the count on the ground. He rushed over, seeing the sparks and wires that occurred.
Turning around, he looked over to see Grayson on the ground. Patches of blood and smoke was on his face as Thomas went to pick him up. He had rips and tears in parts of his clothing as he looked at Thomas, "Thomas… what happened?"
"That's what I want to know," Thomas replied.
He looked over to see Atticus on the ground, crawling as he tried to get up. As he went to get up, he was in the same condition, except the sides of his ribs were broken. Trying to get up was no easy task as Thomas helped him. Joe and Mack were dragging themselves to the ground as they landed on piles of dirt. Joe looked up as he turned to the ship, "That was powerful…"
"Cracked ribs I see," said Mack, looking at Atticus. Atticus nodded, trying to breathe, "I'll be okay. Where are the girls?"
Coughing, the rangers turned around as Lisa and Leona were walking, stumbling. Leona looked over as she turned to the others, "Surviving."
"The fact that Ferro Fett and Gircannon would go this far…," said Thomas, turning around, looking at the destruction. Lisa shook her head as she looked at the damaged zords, "And the fact that we lost our zords in this battle…"
Joe shook his head as he turned around, "I will not accept defeat. We can do this if we can work together. We've proven it before."
"Good point, Joe," said Atticus, looking at him, "But, I really don't know how we are going to be able to stop these bounty hunters. If at all…"
"Well, we know one thing… at least Jo has the Violet Energy Crystal," said Lisa, turning around as she was looking at the team.
"True," said Leona, looking at Lisa and then turning around, "Where is she anyway?"
Kyland stepped forward as he looked at the others, "Shockhound went into the cockpit. Thomas and I were going to help repair Aurorus. Jo pressed the eject button to send him flying… then we forgot to take cover and then we went out. The last thing I remember before hanging on to a tree branch was the Aurorus Zord landing straight in the middle of Lake Valor."
The rangers were silent from Kyland's response. It was a little tough to hear what Kyland said and how to process it. Joe turned around as he looked at the others, "We need to go find her."
"We need to go back Dino Paradise first," said Leona, raising her finger, turning to Drake. Drake slowly nodded as he looked at Joe, "I agree with Leona. These zords need serious repairs and we need to come up with a plan."
"Are you sure they are dead?"
The rangers turned around as they looked over. The rangers hunched over, looked straight across as Gircannon stood in the middle. Ferro Fett, Lionel, Cremelia, Maracturne, Shockhound and Turnchou walked toward them. Looking at the destruction, Lionel laughed as he looked at the rangers, "I am surprised you all survived Giraton's power."
"Zip it, Lionel," said Leona, looking at him with anger. Lionel laughed as he looked at her, "Aw, my baby sister is all angry."
Atticus turned around as he looked at Leona, "Just let it go, Leona. Sometimes, family can be a little pain in the butt… especially those who betray for power."
"Why you little-," Lionel said, withdrawing his saber. As he threw it toward Atticus, Atticus's eyes enlarged as a blue aura surrounded his right arm. The Carracosta Shield appeared as the sword was blocked. Lionel looked up as Atticus stared at him, "Have any other tricks?"
Lionel closed his eyes as he went to strike, only for a red blast of energy to hit him straight in the stomach. Lionel yelled as he landed on the ground, flipping around. Leona aimed her Fossil Blaster right at him. Lionel laughed as he looked at her. Leona held her blaster toward his chest as he looked at her. Gircannon laughed as he looked at Leona, "For someone who survived… I guess anger runs in the family."
Drake stepped forward, "Gircannon, enough of this! Don't think that destroying this world is going to help you."
"Your Hoenn friends couldn't stop me… what makes you think that the only ranger team in the Sinnoh Region can stop bounty hunters unlock the true power of the crystals?" asked Gircannon, looking at him, "Unless… you are looking for them as well."
"That is none of your concern," Lisa responded.
Gircannon turned around as he released his right hand. A black shadow formed around Lisa. Lisa cringed as her whole body collapsed with his hand. Kyland watched as Lisa cringed in pain. Gircannon threw Lisa across, making her land on the ground, "And that was just a small taste."
Grayson turned around as he looked at a knocked out Lisa. He turned around as he looked at him, "You are sick!"
"Good… now if you don't mind… allow me to finish you off, Giraton!"
The villains laughed as Giraton aimed its weapons. As Giraton aimed its weapons, it targeted the whole area. Immediately, the rangers turned around as they were taking cover. Drake turned around as he used his saber. His eyes emanated a blue aura as the team disappeared. The villains were also hit as they landed on the ground. Ferro Fett turned around as he was weakened, "What is the meaning of this?"
"Simple… Because of your failures… you have no choice, but to work for me!"
He withdrew a black and red Poké Ball. Stretching it out, he threw it. Ferro Fett tried to block it by using his green blaster, but the ball missed it and hit Ferro Fett.
"Monster Ball… activate!"
Opening the ball, an energy field arrived. Yellow and green energy surrounded Ferro Fett as he was sucked into the Monster Ball. As it closed, a green and red aura surrounded it, causing Ferro Fett to be caught. He turned around as he looked at the others.
"If you don't want to be like him, you will do exactly as I say," he said.
The villains, terrified, nodded in response as Gircannon left a small smile, "Now, the zords are missing, the rangers retreated… but Aurorus isn't far. That meddlesome scientist has the Energy Crystal. We need to snatch it!"

Chapter 25: Ferro Fett's Showdown
The rangers returned to Dino Paradise. Roark, who was sitting, watching the whole thing, turned around as Leona and Lisa were on the ground. Roark withdrew his Pokémon, "Rampardos, Graveler, take them to the tables."
As his Poké Balls were released, Rampardos and Graveler landed on the ground, lifting Leona and Lisa. Grayson was hopping over as he landed at the table. Atticus and Joe collapsed as Roark tried to carry them. Kyland and Thomas were being dragged by Mack as they walked on the bottom floor. Mack cringed as he fell to the ground. Looking up, Roark was watching as Drake stepped down to talk, "Where are the zords?"
"They are in self-repair mode," he said, turning to them, "It's going to take a while to repair them."
Thomas shook his head, "I don't think we have a while. Knowing our luck, Gircannon is after Jo."
Joe turned to Thomas as he nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I wouldn't wait long. Do we even have status of Aurorus?"
Kyland turned around as he grabbed the laptop that was on the table. He noticed a red light beeping. He nodded slowly as he saw diagrams of Aurorus appear. He looked up as Roark went to get the bandages. As Kyland was placing medical tape on his forehead and cleaning the wounds, he looked to see it a purple light, "Well, Jo did something great! The energy crystal has bonded with Aurorus so Aurorus can start to repair. But, because it's not bonded with anyone… it could take a long time. It's currently disabled."
"Why does Gircannon want that zord?" asked Leona, "Besides its crystal?"
Kyland grinned as he raised his finger, "I can answer that."
Kyland reached into grab his phone from his pocket. Unlocking the device, he turned around as he went to his photos. The team looked over as they noticed the blueprints. The rangers were surprised as they were looking at it. Mack turned around as he looked at the group, "Interesting. I've seen this before."
"You have?" asked Leona.
"Yeah. That ship was hovering over the area years ago. But, the grey and black designs do match the Pokémon Giratina…" said Mack, looking at the others.
"Wait… Giratina… like the legendary Pokémon of antimatter?" asked Grayson.
Mack nodded as he looked at him, "I mean I can tell you… Ferro Fett's ship was not just a ship that Ferro Fett owned. I remember seeing it transform to the form we saw right before we were attacked."
"That means Gircannon was after the crystals… and Ferro Fett used his ship…" said Atticus, "So… does that mean what I think it means?"
"Gircannon has been starting this conquest…," said Joe, turning to Drake, "And somehow you know about this, sir."
Drake stood silently. Joe walked over as he turned to him, "You said that you knew him. He wanted to erase you and Leona years ago. You escaped, so did she. So, how did you manage to know about him?"
Drake gulped as he turned to Joe. Joe turned around as he looked at him, "Not to mention, I did do a little bit of research on those mysterious pendants. They are also connected to you as well."
Drake turned to Joe as he looked at him, "Sadly. I can't tell you anything yet. You will know in due time."
Joe turned around as he looked at Drake, throwing his hands up in the air, "I can't believe this. We have a mentor here who is hiding something from us!"
"Well," Lisa said as she picked herself up, "I don't think screaming at Drake and yelling at each other is going to work. We need to find Josephine. She was at Lake Valor, right?"
"Right," said Leona, turning to the others, "But, Gircannon could be after her."
"Exactly," the pink ranger said as she lay down, "We need to figure out a plan to save Jo and get Aurorus back to be repaired quickly."
"Yup…" Kyland said, "Or…"
"Or what?" asked Joe, quickly interrupting. Kyland sighed as he turned to the others, "Gircannon could use Aurorus as a weapon… or this."
The rangers turned around as they were looking at it. They all stood in shock as they were looking at the laptop. Lisa, sitting up from afar, looked at it. Drake nodded slowly, "I had a feeling that was why he wanted it."
Back at Lake Valor…
Jo was sitting inside the Aurorus Zord's cockpit. She was on her laptop, wiring into the cockpit as she placed the Energy Crystal in the laptop. As she went to activate it with her laptop, a violet surge of energy surrounded Aurorus. Aurorus roared as the cockpit started to charge. Jo grinned as she went to sit down with her laptop. Pressing a few buttons, she turned around as she looked at it, "Activate repairs…"
Immediately, the repair process began to work. She knew it was going to be a long time with how much Ferro Fett and Gircannon did to the zord. As Aurorus was roaring a little, Jo grinned as she was sitting down. She knew for a fact that this zord was dead in the water, but there was a solution. As she was working on the software that was installed, she was checking to see what was in the system.
"This is so weird," said Jo, looking at it. There were red and black auras around Aurorus. Something was done to the zord. As she activated the anti-virus software from her computer, a blue and green field surrounded it as she was starting her repairs. As she went to look over, she noticed the screen on. She was so excited to see all of this happen. She turned around as she went to press a few buttons. As she zoomed in, she noticed Cremelia, Turnchou, Maracturne and Icewolf walking toward the zord. She froze as she looked at them, heading closer. She was able to hear their voices.
"Hey! The zord is here!" shouted Cremelia.
"This is perfect," said Maracturne, "And it looks disabled."
"Well, with the software we use… we can control it," said Turnchou, looking at it, "Hopefully, no one is on board."
Jo took a deep breath as she turned to look at her laptop. Unfortunately, the anti-virus was taking slower than it took the villains to reach the zord. As she turned around, Jo quickly grabbed a Fossil Blaster as she saw the doors open. She noticed Turnchou walking toward the cockpit. Looking around, he turned around as Jo aimed at him.
"I see you are here…," said Turnchou, noticing the energy crystal, "No way!"
"Sorry, but Aurorus is in the middle of getting fixed… you are going to have to leave," said Jo.
Turnchou pulled out his magnet blaster, releasing a blue beam of energy. The energy pierced Jo's Fossil Blaster and retracted it toward him. Turnchou grabbed it and pulled the trigger, shooting Jo in the arm. Jo squirmed she landed on the ground, holding on to her right arm. Turnchou laughed as he looked at her, "Okay, scientist. You destroyed our ship… you had your fun! Now am I going to have mine…"
"Do it!" shouted Cremelia, arriving as she took out her cake blaster, "I want to shoot her down too."
"Me three!" shouted Maracturne, with his machine gun-like weapon, "And once we're done with you, we are going to stop your anti-virus software."
"I want a piece of the action," Icewolf snarled, raising his claw, turning to the computer. As he went to raise his claw to strike, a blue aura surrounded him as he froze to death. Turning around, the ceiling of the zord's cockpit opened, revealing a bright white and two shadows landing on the ground. Thomas turned around as he took out his Fossil Blaster, shooting Icewolf down. Jo looked up as Thomas then punched Turnchou in the face with his Rampardos Gloves. He turned around as he looked at Jo, "Are you okay?"
"I'm glad you here. How did you know?" asked Jo.
"Kyland took some photos. We will defend this zord together," said Thomas.
"Agreed!"
Jo turned around as Leona landed on the ground. Wincing in pain with bandages, she walked toward Thomas as she took out her Fossil Blaster, "Now… let's finish them!"
Immediately, Thomas and Leona pulled triggers, shooting down Cremelia, Maracturne and Turnchou. Leona spun around as she kicked the three of them to the ground. Thomas turned around as he used his hands. A blue sphere appeared as he released it. The three villains and Icewolf were sent packing, breaking out of the zord.
"Are you okay?" asked Leona, looking at Jo.
"I'm fine. Aurorus is not," said Jo, looking down, "I can't use it to fight Ferro Fett or Gircannon right now."
Thomas examined it as he noticed the red numbers that were turning blue, "Malware…"
"Yeah," said Jo, "Gircannon was trying to use malware to extract the files of Aurorus. But, he probably knows all of the secrets of what Aurorus can do."
"That explains why he wants the zord so badly," said Leona, looking at Jo, "But, how long until Aurorus can be functional?"
"Just like your zords… hours," said Jo, turning around, "And longer because it hasn't bonded with anyone."
She turned around as she slammed her fist on the cockpit stand, "This is all my fault. I should've just let you handle it."
Leona turned around as she looked at her. She couldn't believe what she was hearing right now as she went to speak to her. Jo sighed as she crossed her arms, annoyed as the red ranger turned around, "Now, hold on. If it wasn't for you, I probably would've been sacrificed as Gircannon's next happy meal."
"True… and if it wasn't for you," said Thomas, "We wouldn't have been able to get Aurorus out."
"Yeah, but Giratron? That's a game changer," Jo responded, "I miscalculated that. I never expected Gircannon to be so sneaky. And he's right… he has sent something that destroyed zords in Hoenn. We're lucky if we even are able to defeat him…"
"First, no one expected Gircannon to do that," said Leona, looking at Jo with honesty, "I'm dead serious. This is also the first time we've seen something like this."
"Exactly," said Thomas, looking at Jo, "Think about it… we've never met the OG Poké Rangers to begin with, right? We're the first rangers in Sinnoh. We have found ways to save this planet and we will save this planet. Besides, I think with your skills, you can be an asset."
"What do you mean?" asked Jo.
Thomas raised an eyebrow as Leona walked over, leaning in, "I sense the Violet Ranger is going to be you."
"Me?" asked Jo, laughing, "I'm just a technician that creates weapons for you. I am not ranger worthy."
"Really? Because the stunt you pulled to rescue me is credit enough in my book. Wouldn't you agree, Thomas?" asked Leona.
"Yeah," said Thomas, laughing, "That was probably the most impressive plan I think we all did together as a team. I am sure once Aurorus is back to normal, Aurorus will choose you to take over."
Jo grinned as she went to tear up, pressing a few buttons, "You know, I don't cry that easily."
Leona laughed as she looked at Jo, "We know you are dedicated with what you do and you are going to be phenomenal."
No sooner she said that, the earthquakes gotten louder. As the alarms were going off, Aurorus roared as the virus started to clean out. Jo turned around as she looked at the system, "I got some power back… and sensors."
"Sensors?" asked Thomas, looking at the screen. He froze as he noticed who was outside. It was a mega-sized humanoid Ferrothorn with black spikes around it. He had two black and green cannons that were shaped like automatic machine guns. Its eyes were bright red and orange as his mouth opened, revealing its sharp chompers. Thomas looked up as he turned to Leona, "Is that Ferro Fett?"
Leona froze as she noticed him, "Yeah… what happened while we were gone?"
Jo stood up as she turned to see Gircannon, who was watching from below, "While Drake saved you, Ferro Fett failed to defeat you. He is now a monster… and he is more packed than ever. This is what I did to Lionel as well… these Monster Balls pack a punch. Ferro Fett, do whatever it means necessary to destroy the scientist and get the violet crystal. I want Aurorus repairable so I can control it for me."
Ferro Fett roared as it was ready to use its guns. Thomas and Leona stood up as they both looked at Jo. Thomas placed his hand on Jo's shoulder, "We'll handle Ferro Fett. You get Aurorus ready…"
"But…" said Jo.
"Don't worry. Rampardos and Tyrantrum can take a beating," said Leona, grinning as she turned to Thomas. Thomas nodded as they took out their Fossil Chargers.
"Tyrantrum…"
"Rampardos…"
"I Choose You!"
Throwing the chargers in the air, a red and grey aura surrounded them as Tyrantrum and Rampardos landed on the ground, roaring. Tyrantrum dashed over as it swung its tail at Ferro Fett. Ferro Fett grabbed the tail and threw Tyrantrum across. Tyrantrum landed on its feet as Ferro Fett released bullets from its gun. A spray of bullets occurred as Tyrantrum opened its mouth, releasing a beam of draconic energy. Ferro Fett was hit as sparks flew across. Rampardos charged in at a fast speed. A grey force of energy surrounded the zord as Ferro Fett caught it. Ferro Fett then turned around and threw a punch in the face.
Down below, Icewolf, Cremelia, Turnchou and Maracturne looked up as they noticed the zords going at it with Ferro Fett. Cremelia turned around in shock, "Ferro Fett, dear!"
"Oh boy!" shouted Maracturne, "That's what Gircannon can do."
"I can see why he did what he did," Turnchou gulped.
"In any case, we should get in there and stop her," said Icewolf, "Gircannon will have our heads if we don't stop his software."
Immediately, Leona walked out of the back of the zord, seeing them heading back in. As she went to walk, the other six rangers were already running toward the scene. Lisa, who had more bandages, walked toward them.
"Lisa, are you sure you can fight?" asked Leona.
Lisa turned around and nodded. Leona nodded back as she turned to Kyland and Thomas, "You two… help Jo fix the zord. We'll take it from here."
"Are you sure?" asked Thomas, looking at Leona.
Joe turned around as he looked at Thomas, "You and Kyland are good at this stuff. Do whatever it takes to help repair Aurorus so we can fight Ferro Fett."
Thomas nodded as he looked at Kyland. Kyland nodded silently as both of them headed toward the zord, closing the door behind him. Mack and Atticus stepped forward as Leona turned to the others. Gircannon also arrived as he looked at them, "Alright, rangers. You think you can stop me? I will get this zord and its secrets."
"You know too much, Gircannon. Sadly, I can't let you leave knowing our secrets," said Leona, "Rangers, Let's Poké Battle!"
The rangers nodded as they placed their Fossil Chargers in front, "Fossil Chargers, energize!"
Pressing the buttons on the Fossil Chargers, the rangers did a little dance, spinning around as they had their Fossil Blasters in hand. Opening them, the rangers placed their Fossil Chargers in the Fossil Blasters.
Tyrantrum Charger, Energize!
Armaldo Charger, Energize!
Carracosta Charger, Energize!
Kabutops Charger, Energize!
Bastiodon Charger, Energize!
Aerodactyl Charger, Energize!
The rangers spun the blasters. A golden aura surrounded each blaster as they struck their blasters in the air, "Unleash the Power!"
Pulling the trigger, the Prehistoric Pokémon were unleashed as they landed on the rangers. A white glow surrounded them as their suits arrived.
"Tyrantrum! Dino Charge Red!"
"Armaldo! Dino Charge Black!"
"Carracosta! Dino Charge Blue!"
"Kabutops! Dino Charge Green!"
"Bastiodon! Dino Charge Pink!"
"Aerodactyl! Dino Charge Gold!"
"Poké Rangers Dino Charge!"
As explosions surrounded them, Leona stepped forward as she looked at Gircannon, "It's about to get wild!"
"Well… a duel is a duel," he said, grinning as he looked at them.
Meanwhile…
Jo, Thomas and Kyland were standing in their cockpit. The anti-virus software was three quarters away from cleaning out the virus. While it was clearing, Kyland and Thomas were working on the exterior damage, which was slowly repairing. As Kyland continued to work on the back through the cockpit, he looked at the others, "So, when I became a ranger, I never expected that I would be in a mega situation like this."
"It comes with the territory," said Thomas, looking at Kyland, "But, you should've realized that. You have been a ranger longer."
"By like ten weeks," said Kyland, looking at him. As he turned to fix the rest of the system, he noticed Jo was silent as she was working quickly and quietly to get Aurorus fixed. Kyland walked over as he went to speak to her, "So, what's going on with you?"
"Just trying to figure this out," said Jo, "But, your help has definitely helped Aurorus recover a little faster. I am able to wipe most of the virus out and reboot its systems."
"Well, I just find it interesting that Aurorus was not like our zords. In a way, it's pretty unique," said Kyland, grinning, "I wonder if someone will pilot it…. Like Josephine over here."
Jo narrowed her eyes as she turned to her laptop, "Like I told Thomas, I'm a scientist. Not a fighter."
Kyland walked over as he turned to Jo. Jo looked up as Kyland shook his head, "For someone to come up with a plan to save Aurorus and Leona, that took guts."
"Besides," said Thomas, looking at her, "How are we chosen? The crystals choose us."
As the two rangers went to sit down, a blast of energy struck the cockpit. The rangers turned around as Lionel arrived with his saber, "I am here to finish you off."
"Jo," said Thomas, "Keep working on the repairs. Let's go, partner."
"Partner?" asked Kyland, shaking his head, "I never expected you to call me that."
Thomas rolled his eyes as the two rangers pulled out their Fossil Chargers, "Fossil Charger, Energize!"
Pressing the buttons on the Fossil Chargers, the rangers did a little dance, spinning around as they had their Fossil Blasters in hand. Opening them, the rangers placed their Fossil Chargers in the Fossil Blasters.
Omastar Charger, Energize!
Rampardos Charger, Energize!
The rangers spun the blasters. A golden aura surrounded each blaster as they struck their blasters in the air, "Unleash the Power!"
Pulling the trigger, the Prehistoric Pokémon were unleashed as they landed on the rangers. A white glow surrounded them as their suits arrived.
"Omastar! Dino Charge Aqua!"
"Rampardos! Dino Charge Grey!"
Meanwhile…
Each ranger faced a different type of enemy. Lisa and Joe were facing Turnchou. Turnchou released his magnet blaster, trying to pull weapons. Lisa flipped backwards as she kicked Turnchou in the face. Turnchou screamed as he landed on the ground. Turning around, he noticed Joe using a spinning hook kick to knock him down. Turnchou looked up as Joe used his weapon to strike. The Armaldo Blaster began to pierce black and purple beams, shooting the creature down. Lisa then used her Bastiodon Drill to cause an earthquake, knocking Turnchou down.
Grayson and Maracturne went at it. Maracturne went to shoot him down with his weapon. Grayson blocked it with his Fossil Saber. Flipping over, Grayson went over to slice Maracturne down. Maracturne yelled as he was hit in the face by Grayson's weapon. Grayson then turned around as he used his Kabutops Slasher, striking Maracturne down. Maracturne turned around as he released a green beam of energy, which turned into a net. Before Grayson went to strike, a golden beam pierced it, breaking it. Grayson looked up as Mack arrived with his Golden Amber Saber. Maracturne scurried as the two rangers turned to each other.
Leona and Atticus went at it with Cremelia. Cremelia grinned as she released her cake blaster, shooting pink beams across. Atticus blocked it with his Carracosta Shield. Leona turned around as she jumped over with her Tyrantrum Fang, smashing Cremelia in the face. Cremelia screamed as she landed on top of the three villains. Turning around, Icewolf released a stream of ice attacks. The six rangers performed a shoulder roll, missing the attack. The six rangers took out their Fossil Chargers.
"Fossil Chargers, energize!"
Placing them in the Fossil Blasters, the five rangers spun their blasters as energy began to charge. Mack placed his Fossil Charger in the Golden Amber Saber. Golden energy surrounded it.
"Fossil Charge Strike!"
Pulling the trigger, Tyrantrum, Armaldo, Carracosta, Kabutops and Bastiodon emerged as they combined into one beam of energy.
"Thunder Fang Slash!"
Swinging his saber, a yellow bolt of energy appeared with yellow and electric teeth emerged. Both energy beams swirled together as the villains screamed, exploding around as they landed on the ground. The six rangers turned around as they noticed Gircannon snapping his fingers. Ferro Fett eyed the rangers. Releasing green seeds, the seeds surrounded the rangers. Explosions surrounded them as they landed on the ground, but it caused a ruckus in the Aurorus Zord.
Meanwhile…
Kyland and Thomas charged in with their Fossil Sabers. Lionel laughed as he stretched out his saber. Jumping up, he pressed a red button on his saber, "Mystic Fire!"
A stream of flames was released, hitting Thomas and Kyland. The two rangers landed on the ground as Lionel went to stab both rangers. Kyland and Thomas rolled in the opposite direction as he went to fight. Lionel turned around as he noticed Jo working quickly on recovering the zord. Lionel dashed forward, only for Kyland to grab him by the foot. Lionel lifted up as he tripped, landing on the ground. Kyland quickly took out his Fossil Blaster and pulled the trigger, releasing beams of energy. Lionel was hit by the attack. Stretching his hand, the saber appeared as he went to stretch it toward Kyland. Pressing a blue button, a stream of ice appeared, "Ice Strike!"
Kyland was attacked by a beam of snow and ice. Squirming, Kyland became an ice sculpture within an instant. Thomas turned around as he went to strike Lionel. Lionel blocked him with his saber and then slashed Thomas down. Thomas yelled as he landed on the floor. Thomas went to get up, only for Lionel to do the exact same thing he did to Kyland. A stream of ice struck as Thomas was caught in it. Thomas groaned as he transformed into another ice sculpture. Jo freaked out as she was working quickly. As Jo was finishing up, she looked over to see Lionel walking over to her. He was grinning as he turned to her, "Now, how can I finish you?"
Jo turned around as she looked at Lionel. She then turned to her computer, where the violet energy crystal was attached. She then saw the screen as she looked at what was going on. She noticed a rectangular capsule that was needed. Turning around, Jo looked up as Lionel went into stab. Quickly, Jo dodged it and stood up.
"Well, if I'm going to have to finish my job," said Jo, grabbing a Poké Ball, "It looks like you are going to have to face my team! Scorbunny, Ariados, Haunter!"
Immediately, three of her Pokémon emerged out of their Poké Balls. Jo turned around as she looked at the three of them, "Scorbunny, free those two from the ice sculptures. Ariados and Hunter, use whatever means necessary to stop him!"
"Scor!"
"Ariados!"
"Haunt… Haunt!"
Lionel laughed, "Your Pokémon are no match for-!"
He was sharply interrupted as Ariados released a glowing green web that was wrapped around him. He grunted as he tried to break free. Haunter released black and red beams from its eyes. Lionel, unable to break free was getting hit the whole time. Jo turned around as she headed for the computer. She immediately went into her lab pocket and pulled out a grey case. Opening the case, she had three violet chargers with the number 9 on them. Placing them in the capsules, violet energy filled each of the chargers. Turning around, she noticed that Lionel broke free. Lionel released flames and ice, hitting the Pokémon. Jo turned around as she used her next three, "Go…. Crobat, Croagunk and Weezing!"
As her other three Pokémon appeared, Lionel went to strike each one of them down. He turned around as he looked at them, "There's no use! Flame Strike!"
Releasing flames from his saber, he stretched it out as a ball of fire engulfed everything. Ariados was hit as the Pokémon landed on the ground. Turning around, Haunter released a black and pink shadow like ball, releasing it toward Lionel. Lionel turned around as he slashed it down. Next, Croagunk released a purple fist. Lionel blocked it with his saber and kicked Croagunk to the curb. Weezing floated, dumping a pile of sludge… on Lionel's face. Lionel screamed as he landed on the ground, "I can't see!"
The sound of beeping noises from the computer caught Jo's attention. Looking, she grinned as she saw that everything was green. Aurorus was ready to be used. Jo turned around as she looked at Lionel, who was struggling. Kyland and Thomas finally were broken free from the attack as Scorbunny's embers were finally doing the job. Kyland turned around as he looked at Jo, "Nice!"
"Thanks!" Thomas said.
Lionel looked at her as her six Pokémon. He went to stretch his saber, "I am not going to let Pokémon stop me. Aurorus will be Gircannon's!"
"Too late….," said Jo, taking one of the Fossil Chargers, "Aurorus is already wiped clean of any virus and at this point, you can't do much about it. Fossil Charger, energize!"
Pressing the button, the violet energy crystal on the computer console transferred over to the Fossil Charger, releasing a violet hue, "Aurorus, I choose you!"
Throwing the charger in the air, the charger exploded as violet energy surrounded the whole entire cockpit. Jo's Pokémon looked in awe as blue and green lights started to glow around them. Kyland and Thomas turned to each other as a yellow aura surrounded the cockpit. Three cockpit stands arrived with a violet background. The Fossil Charger materialized in Aurorus's mouth as everything started to activate. Lionel turned around as he went to look at the computer, "Why you-!"
Immediately, two violet beams struck from either side of the wall, capturing Lionel. Lionel yelled as he disappeared from the cockpit, landing on the ground.
"This is awesome!" said Kyland, "Jo, you did it."
"It's not time to celebrate yet, guys," said Jo.
Immediately, the zord began to shake. Scorbunny started flying from the cockpit. Jo grabbed Scorbunny by the ears and caught it with her arms. Thomas and Kyland turned around, noticing Ferro Fett screaming.
"Looks like we have trouble," said Kyland.
Thomas turned around, noticing Tyrantrum and Rampardos were somewhat damaged, "Well, can we use this?"
Aurorus began to roar a little bit. Jo turned around as she looked at Kyland and Thomas, "It looks like Aurorus wants to fight and use this."
Haunter floated over as he nodded rapidly. Jo turned around as she looked at Kyland. Kyland nodded as he grabbed his Fossil Blaster, placing it into the cockpit, "Let's go!"
"Aurora Change! Rocket Charge Megazord!"
A violet aura surrounded Aurorus as the zord began to roar. The tail of Aurorus detached as the legs began to shrink. The bottom half of the Aurorus Zord began to lower, revealing metallic legs and feet. The Aurous head moved to the front of the zord. The upper legs rotated to become arms. Silver and violet fests were generated from Aurorus as the tail connected to the left arm. A bluish-purplish head appeared with green eyes as a rainbow like aura surrounded the back of the Megazord.
"Rocket Charge Megazord, battle ready!"
Ferro Fett said nothing as he stretched two arms. Green beams of energy erupted as the Rocket Charge Megazord was hit. Explosions occurred as Ferro Fett started walking toward the Rocket Charge Megazord. Engines ignited from the back as the Rocket Charge Megazord launched away from Ferro Fett. Ferro Fett released a green vine of energy. The Rocket Charge Megazord released a rainbow beam, freezing the vine. The tail like sword swung across, slashing Ferro Fett's vine attack. Down below, the rangers looked up in awe.
"Well, Ferro Fett is going to have his just desserts," Atticus said, crossing his arms. Turnchou turned around as he looked at Maracturne. Maracturne turned around as he opened his tablet, "We'll see about that. Activate armor!"
Pressing a button on the tablet, Ferro Fett stretched his arms. Grey and silver armor surrounded it as his guns upgraded. Streams of green bullets struck out. The Rocket Charge Megazord swung around, missing each bullet. The Rocket Charge Megazord charged through, stabbing Ferro Fett in the face. As Ferro Fett stumbled, Jo turned around as she looked at Thomas and Kyland, "Now, let's finish him!"
Before they could do anything, Ferro Fett released eight green rockets. The rockets swirled around as they pierced the Rocket Charge Megazord, causing an explosion. The three of them held on, including Jo's Pokémon.
"This is insane," Thomas shouted, turning to Jo, "Shouldn't you return them to their Poké Balls."
"I kind of can't… some of the Poké Balls are in my computer case!" shouted Jo.
Explosions surrounded the cockpit as the three held on. Ferro Fett laughed as he charged forward to strike. Jo decided to withdraw her empty Fossil Blaster, "Let's go! The finisher!"
"Finisher?" asked Kyland.
"Yep!" said Jo, "Your blasters, please."
As the two rangers grabbed their Fossil Blasters, the tail began to stretch out, heading to Ferro Fett. A screen appeared as two red crosshairs appeared. As they combined into one target, the three spun the blasters.
"Blast Off Cannon!"
3… 2… 1… LIFT-OFF!
The tail of Aurorus was released as it turned into a violet energy rocket. The rocket pierced through Ferro Fett. Ferro Fett yelled as his armor broke through. Ferro Fett yelled as he began to shrink into a green aura. Ferro Fett landed on the ground, shrinking. The rangers turned around as Kyland and Thomas landed on the ground.
"Rangers, let's do it!" shouted Leona, "Dino Spiker, Energize!"
The main weapons were thrown into the air, combining into a spike. Mack nodded as he placed three golden charges in the Golden Amber Saber. A golden aura surrounded it as he raised his Golden Amber Saber. Kyland and Thomas took out their Fossil Chargers and placed them in their Omastar Cannon and Rampardos Gloves. Catching the Dino Spiker, the eight rangers stood together.
"Dino Spiker, Horn Drill!"
"Thunder Fang Slash!"
"Aqua Cannon Bomber!"
"Rampage Palm!"
A grey, aqua and golden beam struck together, heading into one beam. Leona threw the Dino Spiker, combining with it. As the beam combined into one, the drill pierced into Ferro Fett. Ferro Fett yelled as explosions surrounded him. He fell to his knees, exploding into pieces. The rangers stood there in surprise, watching the flames.
"Ferro Fett…," said Maracturne, dropping his weapon and tablet.
"No!" shouted Cremelia.
"This can't be…," Turnchou said in shock.
Icewolf turned to Lionel, who turned to the rangers. Lionel stepped forward as he aimed his saber at Leona. Leona looked up as Lionel looked at her, "This isn't over, sis. We need to report this to Gircannon and Shockhound. Retreat!"
A flash of energy surrounded them as they disappeared. The rangers turned around as Rocket Charge Megazord stood down, cheering for them. Leona and the others looked up as Jo appeared on top of the zord with her Pokémon.
Dino Paradise…
Arriving down the stairs, Jo stood there in surprise as she saw everything. As the rangers threw their crystals into the slots, Jo placed the violet crystal in the ninth slot. As it began to glow, she placed the three chargers she created in the port as she turned to the team, "This is pretty cool."
"You will see that this would be the safest place to work," said Roark, who looked at her with happiness. Jo grinned as she turned around, looking at the others, "Well, it was definitely tough for sure…"
"You fought Ferro Fett on your own… and even used Aurorus," said Leona, grinning, "That deserves some celebration."
Joe turned around as he looked at them, "Next thing you know, you will probably be one of us."
Jo shook her head, "Sadly. I didn't bond with it."
"Then… how?" asked Joe.
Thomas grinned as he looked at Joe, "Aurorus asked Jo if we could use its power to strike Ferro Fett down."
Grayson turned around as he looked at all of them, "Either way, Ferro Fett is pretty much destroyed. And we have a new ally."
"Exactly," said Jo, turning around as she looked at the other rangers. She turned around as she reached for the violet charger, "This is the Aurorus Charger. Feel free to use Aurorus's power in times of trouble… at least until a new ranger is selected."
The other rangers nodded as they walked over to look at it. Drake stepped up as he was looking at the rangers. He was happy to see what was going on. He grinned, turning around as he looked at Roark. Roark nodded as he looked at Drake. Drake turned to Roark, "Even though it didn't bond, there is one crystal left."
"That's going to be tricky," said Roark.
"Well, with Ferro Fett gone… it will give Gircannon and crew some time to re-strategize," said Drake, looking at Roark, "This is the first victory in Sinnoh history… a big victory."
The eight rangers turned around as they looked at Jo. Jo grinned as she stepped forward, placing her hand in the center. The others put their hands in the center. Immediately, they all jumped up in the air, "Poké Rangers!"
Next Chapter…
With the rangers using the Rocket Charge Megazord, Jo learns that it was one thing to fight Mooks, it's another thing to fight real villains, which puts her in a bind. The rangers want to help her face her fear of fighting the mega villains. However, Icewolf decides to kidnap Jo and question her about the team. Can Jo unlock her own bravery to save Aurorus and the Violet Energy Crystal?
Poké Rangers Dino Charge Chapter 26: Shades of Violet
A/N: So… things get a little dicey. We may not see Ferro Fett for a long while. And I mean, a long while. He has been literally out of it. Well, we learned that Jo could use the crystal… but why won't it bond with her? Hmm… and Gircannon and Drake have history… that's going to be also very interesting. We are going to have some fun with it.
Time Force Update: We have the following: 2 Character Submissions for Rangers, 1 Villain, Many Monsters... I have now 40 responses from the Monster form, which is cool. But, we still need more characters. For rangers, I definitely need at least the core (I have a red and a blue).
Next Update: Due to personal things (not professional), I might be delaying next week's chapter. A lot happened after Thanksgiving and I need to take care of some family things. That comes first over anything... :)
If you are on discord, there will be a December Update. I hope to at least upload one more chapter before 2024. It would be nice to have 9 rangers before the end of the year. Have a great day!
