On the coast of Monaco, a capsule was being carried by the waves. As it was near a port with many boats currently there, one of them ran over the capsule. The capsule sank beneath the waves and opened up. On one of the boats at the dock, two fishermen were currently laughing about something when the water behind them erupted. The men froze as they saw what emerged.
The Dinosaur was a Spinosaurid like Spiny, but she was much smaller and lacked the large sail/spine on her back. She was green all over, with darker green stripes on her back. She also had a very tiny crest in between her eyes. This Dinosaur was a Suchomimus.
Shaking the water off herself, the Suchomimus licked her lips and began to get on the boat. Both men screamed and ran away. "Ahh! What is that!?" One of them screamed.
"It's a Sea Monster!" The other man screamed as he noticed what the Suchomimus was after. "And it wants the Fish! Go on, take it! It's yours!" The Suchomimus lowered her head to where they were keeping the Fish and began to chow down.
Once she ate her fill, the Suchomimus did a backflip, or just dove back first, into the water. The men just looked over the edge in shock. What the hell was that Creature?
(Intro Theme)
At the Taylor household, Terry and the other Dinosaurs were having their breakfast while Max, Rex, and Aki watched. "They sure can eat can't they." Aki said as she watched them eat.
"Well, they have big stomachs, so they need a lot to fill them." Max said.
"If they keep this up I'll have to start ordering Dog food by the truckload." Aki joked.
"Please, you'd need ten trucks if they were fully grown." Max joked, not realising what he said.
"You mean they'll get bigger?" Aki asked, getting a little alarmed.
Before Max could answer, Rex put a hand over his mouth. "Max is just fooling around Mrs. Taylor." He told her. "They're all already fully grown."
"That's a relief." Aki said before going back inside.
Once she was gone Rex sighed in relief. "You need to be more careful." He told Max, whose face was turning blue until Rex let him go.
Max took in a big breath of air before addressing his friend. "Sorry, the joke just came to me. And besides, you know how bad it has to be at the lab with the others." He joked with a smile. "I'd hate to see that food bill."
"That is so true." Terry said as he and the others finished their breakfast and went back inside, Rex following shortly after. Max was about to join them when he saw Chomp was still eating his. Or rather, was not eating his. He was currently sitting under the tree with his bowl in front of him, and it was barely touched.
Worried for his friend, Max walked towards him and crouched down. "Hey, bud, are you OK?" He asked.
"What'd you think?" Chomp replied bitterly.
Max sighed and sat next to him. "Chomp, I know you're still upset about Crown and the Card Folio. But I know we'll get them back."
"How'd you know?" Chomp told him, his anger rising. "For all we know, they locked him away somewhere for good."
"That doesn't sound like something the Hybro Gang would do."
"That's what we do with the others."
Max shook his head. "Yes, but not forever. Once we're ready, we can show the world who you really are." Max pulled Chomp in for a hug. "Just always look on the bright side, Chomp. That's what keeps me going every day." The hug helped calm Chomp down and made him think about what Max told him. While it didn't seem like looking on the bright side would bring Crown back, it was a better idea than being angry and miserable all the time.
As the two had their moment, Rex and the other three Dinosaurs suddenly ran back outside. "There's another Dinosaur!" Rex told the duo, showing his blinking Dino Holder.
DK
Once at the lab, Reese and Rhysa's Cousins used the map so they could get a better look at the signal. "There it is, right on the Mediterranean coast." Spike said. "It looks like...Italy?" He guessed.
"Close, but that's actually Monaco." Reese corrected. "The second smallest country in the world."
"That's right, and of course, we all know the smallest country in the world is Rhode Island."
"Rhode Island isn't a country." Max laughed at his dad's wrong answer.
"The smallest country in the world is Vatican." Speedy told Spike.
"Couldn't have said it better myself Speedy." Diego smiled.
"Let's head out, you guys!" Max told his team.
"All right! I'll be right behind you!" Spike told them.
"But we'd be done and back before you're halfway there." Spiny said.
Spike just sighed as he was bested again by logic. "Can you at least bring me back a souvenir?"
"How about a new Dinosaur Card and Element Booster!" Chomp said cheerfully, which surprised the others that he was being happy again. Whatever Max told him must have made him feel better.
"Come on guys let's go!" Rhysa called, getting on the transporter.
The team got onto the pad and teleported away. Once they were gone, Speedy looked at Spike. "How'd you forget Rhode Island's a state, not a country?"
"He's an idiot, that's why." Mole answered from the sanctuary as he was eating a bush while Shawn was using his tail as a slide. "Can someone get him off me before I hurt him, by possible accident?" When Maia heard that, the Ankylosaurus soon realised he really should have chosen his words more carefully.
"Oh boy." Quetzal said. "Now you're in trouble, Mole."
DK
Meanwhile, the Hybro Gang had already arrived in Monaco a while ago. And they were mostly suffering. Louisa, Slander and Tred were in their underwear while they both were serving Cursula like slaves while she relaxed in the shade with a new pair of sunglasses she bought. Both men and the girl were panting heavily while they were sweating like Pigs. "It's hot, Cursula." Tred said as he fanned her with a large leaf.
Cursula just sighed in happiness. "I know. In fact I'd be lovely if you could bring me an ice-cold lemonade, Tred."
"And just how am I supposed to do that?" Tred asked
"Go buy one!" Cursula ordered.
"This is so humiliating!" Louisa groaned, noticing all the boys staring at her. "Why oh why do I always get dragged into your stupid things!"
"You spent every penny we had at the Royal Family souvenir auction!" Slander reminded her, who was holding up the umbrella.
"You even sold our plane tickets home!" Tred added.
"And all our clothes except our underwear!" Louisa finished. "I've got guys staring at me and I don't like it!"
"Then you tried to pawn the Hybro Scanners, but nobody would give you anything for them." Slander told her.
"Then you made us sell the clothes right off our backs. You kept saying those Princess Grace sunglasses were made for you!" Tred said as they all remembered how Cursula was at the auction.
"Ugh! I'm not leaving here without at least one piece of royalty!" She screamed in frustration while Louisa, Slander and Tred covered their bodies, having just had their clothes ripped off them and sold.
Cursula chuckled nervously as she remembered everything Louisa and the boys told her. She was never gonna hear the end of this from any of them and Dr.N. "We're practically naked, but at least you have your precious knock-off sunglasses!" Slander yelled at her.
"Hey! These are real! They came with a warranty!" Cursula retorted, defending her precious sunglasses. "And men's underwear looks just like swimsuits anyway." Cursula told the two.
"I feel so silly like this! My Dad'll have your head for this Cursula." Louisa moaned in her underwear. "Why did you have to sell my clothes as well?"
"Because of these sunglasses!" Cursula replied. "Now that I have them I can relax, and besides girls wear bikinis all the time on the beach Louisa, your underwear looks just like one anyway."
Just as she said that, a group of people passed by and laughed at the near-naked men. "Something tells me they're not admiring my trunks." Slander said sarcastically with a blush on his face. It took him all his will-power not to rip off Cursula's clothes so she'd know what it felt like.
"Dad is not gonna like this." Louisa moaned when a man walked up to her. "Hey there beautiful, you wanna go for a swim?" He wondered. "Buzz off!" Louisa shouted, slapping his face.
Suddenly Tred's Scanner began to beep. "Hey, Dinosaur!" He alerted the other three. "And according to this, it's close too."
"Another Dinosaur?!" Louisa asked, quickly getting out her Hybro Scanner. "You're right Tred! It's close by too!"
"What? Don't tell Dr.N was right again." Cursula said.
"He did predict one would show up." Slander reminded her.
Right at that moment, Dr.N's face appeared on the screen. "How about that? My fortune telling was right again. Now, thanks to me, you are already in position to grab this Dinosaur." He said before noticing Louisa, Slander and Tred's choice of clothing. "Louisa, Slander and Tred, what are you wearing?"
"W-what'd you mean, sir? We're just awaiting your orders." Tred stammered.
Rod and Laura, who were also in the room at the time, looked at them with puzzled expressions. "Well, I hope you're also awaiting for some pants." Rod said.
"What happened to you and Louisa guys?" Laura asked. "Did you forget to pack your bathing suits or something?"
"Oh it's too humiliating to even explain!" Louisa moaned, as her cheeks turned pink.
"Funny you should ask, Laura. We're undercover so we're blending in with the crowd." Slander told her.
"That's blending in?" Rod asked, obviously not buying the obvious lie.
"Anyway." Cursula butted in. "We got a Dinosaur to catch." She said before hanging up.
"And you'd better do it, too!" Dr.N yelled.
Once the call was over, Rod asked his grandfather. "So, what'd you think their chances are?"
"Bad." Dr.N answered.
"But they did get a big head start with Grandpa predicting the location." Laura told her brother.
"Yes! And if that prediction goes to waste they'll wish they never heard the word Hybro Gang!" Dr.N said angrily.
"I don't believe in that fortune-telling junk anyway." Rod said, ignoring his grandpa's tantrum. "There's no science to it."
Dr.N suddenly stopped his tantrum. "That's it."
"What's it, Grandpa?" Laura asked.
"I'll make a new prediction to see if those three bozos will succeed!" He said before running over to the map table and messing with the bones again.
Rod and Laura sighed as they left the room. When they did, they saw the new arrival watching them. "So this is how they capture Dinosaurs?" He asked them. When they responded with a nod, all he could say was. "They're all idiots."
Back in Monaco, the Hybro Gang had just begun to search for the Dinosaur. "Alright, boys, and Louisa, let's take home a second win in a row." Cursula told them.
"Right!" Louisa and both men said as they ran off, only to see Cursula wasn't following them. "Aren't you coming?" Tred asked her.
Cursula stopped her stretch and responded. "Don't you think one of us should stay and enjoy the beauty of Monaco?"
"We're not here on vacation!" Slander reminded her.
"Yeah we're here for a Dinosaur!" Louisa reminded. "And if I have to go then so do you!"
"You got Maximus and Armatus. That should be enough." She told them. "And Louisa's got Screecher, Thudder, White Slash, Horn Plate and her Ankylodocus. That's plenty of strength."
"Isn't it bad enough we have to do this in our underpants!" Slander said angrily.
"Or in my bra and panties!" Louisa added angrily.
"Yeah, Cursula! We need you and Gigas too since we don't even know what kind of Dinosaur we're up against." Tred reminded her.
Cursula frowned as she realised there was no way out of this. "Fine. I can't even catch a break on the French Riviera." She muttered as the hunt began.
DK
At the docks, the D-Team had just arrived and began to look at their surroundings. "So, I guess this is where it showed up." Max said.
"From what I read about Monaco it's not only a resort: there's tropical wildlife preserves, marine museums, even a world-famous aquarium." Rex told the others.
"It's also a very prime fishing village." Rhysa said. "I learnt from my Cousins that a lot of fishermen and fisherwomen come to catch Fish here."
"And I read that celebrities from all over the world come here for their vacation." Zoe said.
"Yeah." Rex confirmed.
"Maybe we'll see one!" Zoe gushed.
"And the Monaco Grand Prix is a really famous car race." Ace added.
"And this country is supposed to be tiny?" Terry asked. "Man, they really overdid themselves."
Their sightseeing was soon interrupted by a group of fishermen. "Let's get it! Come on!" The lead man shouted as they ran to where the Suchomimus was last seen with spears.
"What's going on?" Max asked the leader.
The leader stopped and addressed the team. "Didn't you kids hear? A Giant Monster came out from the sea! We've got to chase it away before it devours everything and everyone!"
The group gasped when they heard this. "Did the Monster happen to look like a Dinosaur?" Max asked him.
"Come to think of it, it did." The fisherman said when he thought about it. "But how did you guys know that?"
"We came here to catch it." Rex told him.
Instead of feeling relieved, the fisherman just looked confused. "How are you going to do that? This thing's huge." He then finally noticed the little Dinosaurs at the kids feet. "What are those?"
The group immediately tensed up. "Uh, they're our Dogs, sir." Max responded.
"Those aren't Dogs!" The fisherman told them, sounding slightly insulted at the kids for thinking he'd fall for that.
Before they could continue, more fishermen ran past them. "It's coming for me!" One screamed before he tripped and fell.
"Hey, are you alright?" Rex asked as they walked up to him.
"The Monster came back! And it attacked us again!" The man told him.
"Where is it now?" Max asked him.
"It wiped out the rest of the catch, and then it dove back into the sea. But it'll be back." The man said as he started shaking with fear. "We've all got to get out of town!"
"Don't worry, Mister, we'll catch it for you!" Max proclaimed as he gave a thumbs up.
Before anyone could say anything in response, the lead fisherman yelled when he saw Spiny eating out of a crate containing the Fish he caught. "Aaaaah!"
"Spiny! Get out of there!" Zoe told him, but the Spinosaurus didn't listen and continued on eating.
The other fisherman got up to see what was going on. When he saw Spiny, he backed away in horror. "Ah! That thing looks almost exactly like the Sea Monster, but smaller!" He pointed a finger at the Spinosaurus, who was still eating the Fish.
The lead fisherman, seeing the similarities, gripped his spear in anger as he turned to the kids. "You say you catch Dinosaurs, but you got smaller Dinosaurs walking around with you."
The kids got nervous as the men advanced. "Well, duh! How else can you battle Dinosaurs?!" Spiny told the fishermen, having finally stopped eating the Fish. "Not with sticks, I can tell you that."
"Spiny!" The other Dinosaurs shouted at him for speaking in front of strangers, before quickly realising the damage was just made worse by scolding him. "Crap." Terry said with wide eyes. The last thing these guys needed to hear was talking Dinosaurs.
"They can speak?!" The leader gasped in shock before looking at the kids again, silently demanding an explanation from his furious look.
"It isn't what it looks like." Rex told them.
"It looks fishy." The other fisherman told him.
"We're here to help!" Max said, but to no avail as the fishermen grabbed them all before they could run away.
DK
"I'll hold onto these things!" The leader said, referring to the Dino Holders, before locking the kids in the ship. "And don't even try to escape!" He warned them.
"You're making a big mistake. We need them!" Max begged.
"How'd you think we knew about the Dinosaur!?" Rex asked them, hoping they'll listen.
"Yes, that's what we'd like to know." The leader told them.
"If you don't believe us, contact the D-Lab that sent us here." Zoe told him.
"Yeah!" Rhysa added. "They sent us to rescue the Dinosaur and save this town!"
"What's that!? A lab that sends out kids and talking baby Dinosaurs?!" He said looking at the cage the eleven Dinosaurs were being held in.
"Actually, we're adults in-"
"Shut up!" The leader yelled at Chomp before kicking the cage. "That sounds even more suspicious." He said before walking off.
Nearby, the Hybro Gang was watching. "Great, those kids beat us here again." Tred said.
"Just when I thought things couldn't get any more humiliating!" Louisa complained.
"Doesn't matter, they managed to get themselves locked up somehow." Slander reminded him. "Ha, ha!"
"Oh you're right Slander." Louisa said. "At least we'll get the Dinosaur without worrying about them now."
"And now that Dinosaur is ours for the taking, so let's go!" Cursula told them.
Louisa, Slander and Tred immediately got nervous and tried to cover their underwear. "I don't know, Cursula." Tred told her. "The beach was bad enough, but do we really have to walk through town in our undies?"
"Can't we find something to cover ourselves first?" Louisa asked.
"Oh, just act casual." Cursula said before dragging them off.
"You can't leave us in here! This is Animal abuse! I demand my rights!" Spiny said as he started shaking the bars, or at least trying to since they were metal.
"Shut up, Spiny! It's your fault we're in this mess!" Tank shouted at him.
"How is this my fault?"
"Really?! You ate the Fish that those fishermen caught!" Rhysa's Dinosaurs approached Spiny as the other Dinosaurs scooted to the other end of the cage as best as they could to avoid the oncoming confrontation.
"It's not your fault Spiny." Tracker said. "He does also have a point, he didn't know the Fish were theirs."
"We'll figure out a way to get out of here." Brontina said.
"They should have put a sign up." Spiny retorted. "How was I supposed to know it was theirs?"
Before Tank could blow her top at Spiny's idiotic reason, the boat started to shake, knocking the D-Team off balance. The Suchomimus came up from the water right next to it and ran into town to look for more Fish. And somehow the fishermen, who were on the same boat, mind you, didn't notice her or feel the boat shake.
Inside, Max and Rex saw what happened through a porthole. "That Dinosaur looked like a Spinosaurus." Max said.
"Yeah, but smaller." Rex told him. "I think it was a Suchomimus." He assumed.
"Suchomimus?" Zoe asked, as she either never heard of or forgot about this one.
"Suchomimus' a Dinosaur in the same family as Spinosaurus." Rhysa said. "There weren't that many Spinosaurids, but the most recognisable ones are Spinosaurus, Baryonyx, Irritator and Suchomimus."
"It was a Dinosaur that was excavated in Africa, near the same place as Spinosaurus." Rex explained. "It was thought to mainly live on Fish like Spinosaurus, too, so that would make sense why the fishermen claim it's eating their Fish."
"The only way these fishermen are gonna believe us is if we catch that Dinosaur!" Zoe said worryingly.
Max looked through the window when he noticed the Hybro Gang were also nearby. And somehow they didn't see the Dinosaur either, despite it appearing probably right in front of where they were standing. "It's the old lady!" Max said
Cursula heard those words and got so angry her eyes were red. "Grr! I don't ever want to hear those words again! I'm not an old lady! I am a budding young girl! Do you-"
"Who are you talking to?" Tred asked her.
Cursula realised they didn't hear the insult and tried to play it cool. "I was just thinking aloud, that's all." She said, hiding a blush.
"Are those fishermen still out there?" Rex asked.
"Let me check." Max said. "Hey, fishermen! Let us out! We know what the Sea Monster is!"
"Shut up!" The leader told them.
Suddenly, Max's Dino Holder came on. "Hey, Max, have you located the Dinosaur yet?" Spike asked from the other side.
The leader turned around and saw that one of the devices had a person on it. "I'm not Max. And who are you?" He asked Spike.
Spike got a little worried when he saw some stranger instead of his son, but tried to play it cool. "Who am I? I'll tell you who I am. The question is, eh, who are you? That's...who?" He finished weakly.
The fisherman just looked at him. "That made absolutely no sense at all. You want to try that again?"
"Yes I would, thank you!" Spike said, regaining his composure. "I'm the renowned Dr. Spike Taylor of the D-Lab.
"Never heard of you." The fisherman said. "So it seems the kids were telling the truth about that part."
Spike fell over in embarrassment and Reese just sighed. "Just tell us where his son and his friends are, please?" She asked him.
"Also tell us where our Cousin is." Alicia said.
The fisherman shook his head "No can do. They've been taken into custody until further notice."
While anyone else would normally freak out, Reese, Diego, Alicia and Dora knew they had some friends that would make negotiations easy. "What was that?" Someone asked before growling.
The fisherman looked to see a very angry-looking group of Salta, Blaster, Maia, Speedy, the Pteranodon trio, Quetzal, the Archaeornithomimus sextruplet, and a slightly beaten-up, but still angry-looking, Mole. The fisherman blinked a few times when he saw the Dinosaurs. "Are those..?"
"Real live Dinosaurs?" Reese and Rhysa's Cousins said. "Yes, yes they are."
"How is that possible?" He asked.
"I think the D-Team we sent out to prevent the Dinosaur from destroying your city can answer that." Reese said calmly. "Now you can let them go, or we can do this the easy way."
"And trust me you'll find the first option much better than the easy way." Dora said.
"But that is the easy way."
Reese shook her head. "No, the easy way would be transporting the rest of the Dinosaurs to where you are." She told him. "I have your exact location set and ready to transport." She smirked as she saw the man's pale face when he thought about the angry mob of Dinosaurs literally breathing down his neck. "Your move."
"So what's it going to be?" Rhysa's Cousins asked.
"Listen here, I'm going to keep on punching this door until you open it!" Max shouted as he was hitting the door. Soon the door opened and his fist made contact with the fisherman's nuts. The fisherman slumped to the floor in pain while everyone took in what happened. "Oh, sorry about that." Max apologised, but the smile on his face said otherwise.
"Some guy claiming to be your dad, some people claiming to be the blonde girls' cousins and some lab chick are calling on your little TV thing." The fisherman said weakly as he held his wound.
Max quickly grabbed his Dino Holder and addressed his father. "Dad, it's a Suchomimus!"
"And she's been eating all the Fish the fishermen have been catching Cousins!" Rhysa said.
Spike, who was back on his feet, told his son. "You have to catch it quickly, son. But to do that, you'll have to show these men what you can do with the Cards, and prove that you're for real."
"Really?!" Max asked with a smile on his face.
Spike gave his son a thumbs up. "Give 'em a little taste."
"All right!" Max said before he hung up.
Once Max told his friends the plan, they carded all their Dinosaurs in front of the fishermen, who were shocked at what they just saw. "Your Sea Monster's a Suchomimus." Max explained. "And we'll use these to catch it."
"DINO SLASH!"
All eleven Dinosaurs appeared in their true forms in front of the men. They all backed up when they saw the tiny Dinosaurs turn into big ones. It was even more shocking when they disappeared into Cards in a second and reappeared as tiny chibis. Max chuckled when he saw the fishermen's expressions.
"I can't believe what I just saw." The leader said once he regained his composure.
"What'd ya think now, fellas? Are you convinced?" Spike asked.
"I don't know what to think." The fisherman told him as he looked like he was about to faint.
"You've got to let the kids do their thing." Spike told him.
The leader thought for a bit before asking his partner. "Mm, should we let them go?"
The team's faces lit up when it seemed they'd get a chance. "Even if they are on the level, we can't have Dinosaurs running all over town." The other fisherman reminded the leader.
The leader nodded. "We'll let one or two of you go." He told the kids.
"Thank you, sir!" They all beamed with gratitude.
"I'll go!" Max volunteered right off the bat.
"Why you?" Rex asked, a little upset Max asked before him.
"Chomp and Terry would clobber it." Max told him.
Rex shook his head. "Ace and Tank would do better. You saw how fast it was, Ace and Tank mix speed and power while you just have power." He explained.
Max growled as he realised Rex had a point. "But it can also swim." Paris suddenly interjected. "We know Ace won't go into the water, and I don't think Tank will do much better." She reminded everyone, Ace's shuddering, proving her point.
"Unfortunately, she's right. I don't know how to swim and fight at the same time." Tank admitted, much to her and Rex's disappointment.
"I'll go." Rhysa said. "Dread or one of the others would defeat her in seconds. But I'll need someone else to come in case the Hybro Gang show up."
"Then I'll do it!" Max said as he realised he won the argument.
At least he thought he did. "I think you're forgetting, Max, we have someone who's both fast and can swim." Zoe told the brunette.
"Who is..." Tank asked before she realised who Zoe and Paris were referring to. "No! No! No! That's it! We're doomed! Game over! We're done!" She yelled at the top of her lungs, startling nearly everyone in the area.
"Tank, it's really not that bad." Ace assured her.
Tank pounced on Ace so hard she was almost choking him. "Not that bad?! Our hope for success lies with Spiny!" She said as she pointed to the Spinosaurus with her tail.
"There's a Caterpillar over here." Spiny said as he watched the little Creature crawl past him.
Zoe saw Tank's distress and comforted her, gently rubbing the Saichania's head. "Don't worry, Tank, you can count on us!" She said as she gave a thumbs up. Yet Tank's expression of anger and bitterness didn't change in the slightest.

Meanwhile, the Hybro Gang were currently inside Monaco's famous aquarium. "What exactly are we doing in an aquarium, Tred?" Cursula asked.
"According to the Hybro Scanner, the Dinosaur's last position was right near here." He told her.
"I haven't been this embarrassed since I was pantsed in gym class." Slander said. While Tred's underwear could be mistaken for a swimsuit, with its size and stripes, he wasn't so lucky, stuck with basic white ones that only covered his privates and exposed most of his legs. It didn't help that his legs also had a lot of hair on them, which made it even more embarrassing.
"At least you've only got one part to worry about, I've got two!" Louisa groaned, as her bra and panties were just plain pink ones with no patterns or style.
Cursula growled. "Then maybe you should hurry up and find the Dinosaur!" She had it up to here with their constant complaining.
Suddenly, the Suchomimus dove into one of the tanks and started snacking on the fish inside. "Nevermind! It just found us!" Tred said as he got his Scanner ready. But before he could summon someone to battle, the Suchomimus' tail slammed against the glass, causing it to shatter and flood the room. While everyone ran away or was swept by the current, the Suchomimus continued on her hunt. "It's lucky we and Louisa were dressed for this, huh, Slander?" Tred asked as he and Cursula held onto a giant Polar Bear statue.
"Very fortunate." Slander replied as he hung onto a sign next to the statue. It was unknown if he was being sarcastic or not.
"For once I have to agree with you two." Louisa said, holding onto the post by the statue and sign.
DK
Meanwhile, Zoe and Rhysa had just sent their plan into motion to lure out the Suchomimus. They were currently in the back of a pick-up truck driven by the lead fisherman with Spiny, Dread, Brontina and a large amount of Fish with them. "I hope luring this Dinosaur out isn't a mistake." The fisherman told them.
"If all goes according to plan, it won't be." Zoe told him while stopping Spiny from eating the Fish. "Focus, Spiny. It could be anywhere."
"Then maybe it's in the Fish." Spiny said as he looked at the Fish sternly, waiting for the Suchomimus to jump out, despite the impossibility. "Wait I'm being stupid again aren't I?"
"Don't worry, Spiny." Dread said. "We'll soon have the Suchomimus rescued and then we can get back to the others.
Back at the docks, Max, Rex, and the other Dinos were waiting to see if Rhysa, Dread, Brontina, Zoe and Spiny would return victorious or not. "So, you think Zoe's gonna be OK?" Paris asked.
"She'll be fine Paris." Tracker said. "So will Rhysa."
"I still think it should have been me that went." Max complained.
"Come on, look on the bright side." Chomp told his partner what he told him.
"I am. I just wanted to go." Max complained, which made the others sweatdrop.
"Still, even if the plan of using Fish for bait does work, Spiny will just help the Suchomimus eat it all." Tank said, imagining how it would play out in her head, which was the two of them feasting on a large pile of Fish.
"Spiny has more self-control than that." Terry told her. "He only ate the fishermen's Fish because he didn't know it was theirs."
"He just made a mistake, that's all." Stiggy said. "We all make them."
"No, he doesn't and he didn't!" Tank snapped. "His brain is, at best, the size of a walnut! I'd like to remind you all that Spiny has never won a battle before!"
"He did in Egypt." Paris said, starting to get annoyed with Tank's attitude. "In fact, we may have lost if it weren't for him."
"Indeed!" Stigga added. "If Spiny hadn't helped us back in Egypt, Chomp and Terry wouldn't be here to tell the tale!"
"Pfff! That's hard to believe." Paris growled quietly at Tank's attitude. She knew Spiny better than any of them, considering they lived together. He wasn't as weak as he seemed, and she knew he'd prove that today.
Back with Rhysa, her Dinos, Zoe and Spiny, they were still driving when Spiny saw something in the water. "Look, Whales!" Zoe looked where he was looking and saw a green shape appear and disappear into the water. "I think it was a Humpback."
It turned out actually to be the Suchomimus as she jumped in front of the truck and nearly stepped on it. The fisherman quickly dodged and sped the truck up. When she saw her meal was vanishing, the Suchomimus began to give chase.
"Well, it looks like your Fish bait worked." The fisherman told Zoe.
"Yeah, but can you pull the truck over?" Zoe asked him. It was the best way so they could battle her.
"Are you kidding me! No!" The fisherman said before speeding up more. No way was he going near that thing! "Ahh!" He screamed as he saw the Suchomimus right on top of them.
"You've got to stop! Mister, pull the truck over!" When she didn't get a reply, Zoe realised it was time to do things the hard way. "Guess we have to go to plan B." She said before getting Spiny ready.
"Go for it Zoe and Spiny!" Rhysa cheered. "We'll wait and see if the Hybro Gang show up."
"DINO SLASH! GUSH OUT, SPINOSAURUS!"
Once he was out, the world turned into a Battlefield. "A Battlefield!" Max said excitedly. "That means Zoe and Rhysa found the Dinosaur!"
"Told you they could do it." Paris told Tank.
"He still has to beat it first." Tank said. "Plus, who's to say it wasn't the Hybro Gang who found it?" She muttered.
Speaking of which, the Hybro Gang had just come out of an alleyway, panting, when they saw the truck and two Dinosaurs race by. "That little brat." Cursula growled.
"She's already got one of her Dinosaurs out here." Tred finished.
"I'll send one of mine too!" Louisa called, getting her Scanner out and summoning Horn Plate. "Horn Plate! After those Dinos! And put the pedal to the medal!" She ordered her as the Stegoceratops joined the race.
"Fine. We'll send one of ours out, too." Slander said before grabbing his Hybro Scanner and summoning Maximus with her Spectral Armour on. "Maximus, follow those Dinosaurs! And step on it!" He told her before the Triceratops joined the race.
The truck quickly made a turn with the Suchomimus hot on its heels. Spiny followed directly, almost slamming into a wall due to his larger size, and Horn Plate and Maximus simply went through the turn. "I knew this was a bad idea." The fisherman said to himself. "I got myself into the Dinosaur Grand Prix, and the winner gets me for lunch!"
Eventually, the race was able to be seen by the rest of the team. "Awesome! You almost got 'em!" Max cheered.
"You're doing great!" Rex added.
"Go Spiny! Go!" Stiggy and Stigga cheered. "Go Spiny! Go, go, go!"
"You can do it, Spiny!" Paris cheered as loud as she could. Tank just watched silently, a little surprised he made it this far.
In order to keep the Suchomimus from leaving the race to find easier food, Zoe occasionally tossed Fish so the Suchomimus would still want it. And, frankly, this was the best Fish she's tasted all day.
Back in the rear, Maximus was starting to get tired. "Why did I skip breakfast again!?" She asked herself.
"Come on slow coach!" Horn Plate cried. "We've got a job to do!"
"Maximus looks like she's running out of gas already!" Slander told the others.
"Then do something about it!" Cursula ordered him, even though he wasn't giving Maximus any commands.
Seeing no better option, Maximus decided to take another path through some alleyways to ambush the truck and capture both Dinosaurs. "Look, she's taking a shortcut." Slander pointed out before she disappeared from their view.
"But isn't that cheating?" Tred asked.
"No, it's only cheating if you get caught." Cursula said.
But Maximus was caught by Spiny. Only he didn't see this as cheating. "Wait, I didn't know we could use shortcuts." He said when he saw Maximus take another path. Thanks to his stronger legs, Spiny was able to leap from the tops of many buildings like a superhero to catch up to the others. "I'm Superman!" He announced to anyone listening.
"Hey! That's cheating!" Cursula yelled when she saw what Spiny was doing.
"But you just said-" Tred was cut off by Cursula threatening to bash his face.
"That only implies when it's us! We're villains, they're not!" She told the cowering man.
When the truck reached another part of the harbour, Maximus leaped in front of the truck and caused the Fisherman to lose his grip. Zoe fell out while the truck slid until it fell on its side. "Aah!"
"Now I've got you Suchomimus!" Maximus cried. "There's nothing you can do now!"
But Maximus was wrong. The Suchomimus started glowing too, but blue as in a dimension of water, a circle of water appeared around the Suchomimus as a bright blue circle appeared on her forehead, water then came bursting out of her sides as a blue circle appeared on either side of her, then the one on her forehead shone brightly as shoulder blade blue coloured armour appeared on her shoulders on each side, as more armour appeared on her sides working its way down from her front to her tail, finally armour appeared on her forehead like a helmet, the Suchomimus roared at the sky as she swung her head around and posed as water gushed all around the dimension.
As the Suchomimus arrived and Maximus got ready to finish her off, Spiny suddenly descended from the sky and knocked Maximus away with his head. "I believe I can fly!" He said as he did his actions.
"Good job, Spiny." Zoe said as she got back up.
Maximus recovered and charged again at the Spinosaurus. Spiny saw this coming and batted her away with his tail. "Batter up." Spiny said as he grabbed Maximus by the throat and spun her around many times before finally letting go. "Four!" He cried as Maximus landed in the water, the impact creating a small wave that shook the docked boats, and returned to her card. "Goal!" Spiny cheered.
"Good moves!" A voice called. "But not good enough!" Suddenly Horn Plate came charging forward with her armour on.
"Let's fight armour with armour!" Spiny cheered.
"You got it Spiny!" Zoe said, getting out her blue Element Booster, as her Dino Holder extended slightly.
"ELEMENT BOOSTER! DINO TECTOR ON!"
Zoe attached her Booster to her Dino Holder as Spiny's Card appeared on the screen with armour on.
In the same dimension of water a circle of water appeared around Spiny as a bright blue circle appeared on his forehead, water then came bursting out of his sides as one blue circle appeared on either side of him, then the one on his forehead shone brightly as shoulder blade blue coloured armour appeared on his shoulders on each side, as more armour appeared on his sides working its way down from his front to his tail, finally armour appeared on his forehead like a helmet, the Spinosaurus roared at the sky as he swung his head around and posed as water gushed all around the dimension.
"Wow!" Spiny gasped, looking at himself. "My armour looks awesome on me!" Then he charged and whacked Horn Plate with his tail, knocking her down. "I'm so tired." Horn Plate panted. "I used up all my energy in the race and now I don't have the strength to finish the job." Horn Plate then charged again, but it was a weak charge this time. "Time for Tail Smash!" Zoe said, using her Move Card.
"Say 'Tail Smash'!" Spiny said, as he hit Horn Plate with his tail repeatedly in the face. "FOUR!" Spiny yelled and whacked Horn Plate away and she landed in the same spot Maximus landed and was defeated.
"All right!" Zoe cheered before she remembered the Suchomimus was still there and able to fight. "Watch out, Spiny!"
Despite her warning, Spiny didn't have time to dodge as the Suchomimus charged forward and knocked him down. He got back up and tried to hit her with his tail, but she leapt up high into the air and knocked him back down, sending the Spinosaurus sliding across the ground. "Aw, crap." Spiny said as he realised he was getting too tired to fight after the race and scuffles with Maximus and Horn Plate. "I think I may have ran out of HP." To make sure he didn't get up, the Suchomimus grabbed Spiny by the throat and started to bite down, slowly withering away his energy.
"No!" Zoe cried as it seemed it was over as the Suchomimus bit harder and harder. But luck was on her side when Spiny was able to kick the Suchomimus away and get back up. "All right! Now let's finish this up once and for all!" Zoe said before activating her Move Card. "Shockwave!"
"Let's do this!" Spiny roared as water surrounded him. He fired the tendrils at the Suchomimus. But, unlike the last time when he used it, the water didn't surround the Suchomimus. Instead, it just struck her and sent her flying.
The Suchomimus landed on her back and struggled for a bit before finally getting carded.
"He did it!" Rhysa and her two partners cheered.
"Way to go! You did it, Spiny!" Zoe cheered as she ran to pick up the card. "We got another Element Booster and another Dinosaur Card." She then turned to the fisherman. "I think you guys can go back to fishing now."
"So, I guess you kids really are Dinosaur hunters, aren't you?"
Zoe shook her head. "I wouldn't say, Dinosaur hunters. We're more, Dinosaur friends."
"That's right." Rhysa said. "We're the friends to the Dinosaurs."
"Well, either way, you're really brave." This comment made Zoe blush in embarrassment.
"Well, I hope that wasn't too much of a shock." Spiny said. "Eh? Eh?"

Meanwhile, the Hybro Gang were currently looking for where Maximus and Horn Plate are after the Battlefield disappeared. Tred checked the Scanner, but all it said was 'target missing'. "Hmm, we've lost Maximus' signal." Tred told the others.
"That's strange. I wonder where she and Horn Plate could have gone." Slander said.
Cursula continued on looking until she saw something floating in the water. "Aaah!" She gasped, alerting her teammates. "That's Maximus' Card floating out there." Realising what they had to do, they all took a deep breath and dove right in.
"Hang on Horn Plate!" Louisa cried. "Louisa's coming to the rescue!"

Back with the D-Team, Zoe and Spiny had just shown them the Suchomimus Card they've obtained. "Great job, guys." Chomp said.
"We knew you could do it." Max said.
"Well, almost all of us." Paris said as she looked in Tank's direction with a small glare. Tank simply huffed and looked away. This was too embarrassing for her, and it wounded her pride.
"Aw, don't worry, buddy." Spiny said as he walked over to Tank. "You'll get your chance next time." He told her, not understanding the reason for Tank's attitude.
"I'm sorry we doubted you kids." The lead fisherman apologised. "To make up for it, well let your...Dogs eat all the Fish they want."
"Too bad half of them and most of Rhysa's are Herbivores." Max muttered, but loud enough for the others to hear and chuckle.

Things weren't looking so good for the Hybro Gang once they told Dr.N the obvious news. "Once again you fail completely!" Dr.N said over the communicator. "Not only did you lose the Dinosaur Card, but you also made the Hybro Gang an underpants wearing laughingstock! As punishment, I refuse to pay for your tickets back home!"
"What!?" The Hybro Gang gasped. "But we don't have any money." Cursula said.
"And it's hard to get a job without-" Slander was cut off when Dr.N hung up in anger.
"Dr.N, your dinner is ready." Helga said as she approached him.
"What'd you want!?" The Doctor yelled at the same time before realising who he was addressing. "Heh heh."
"I see. A little cranky are we? I guess you won't be eating after all. Too bad, cause I made your favourite, Liverwurst Pancakes." Helga said before walking off.
"No! Wait! Please! I love Liverwurst!" Dr.N begged.

Back and Monaco, Spiny and the Suchomimus, named Fisher, were inside one of the boats, having an all-you-can-eat fish buffet. "Man, this is so good!" Fisher said.
"I know! Why is it everyone else hates Fish?" Spiny asked.
"Because they don't understand the greatness of Fisher." Fisher said.
Both of them laughed at her pun before continuing their meal, all the while Tank just watched silently from above. "Maybe he's not as useless as he comes off as." She thought. "Though they're gonna eat more Fish than Fisher was eating beforehand at this rate."
Meanwhile, the Hybro Gang were having a sale to give themselves enough money to go home. "Step right up, folks. Best food on the beach." Tred said to the gathering crowd.
"With prices to match." Slander added. "You can't beat the Hybro Gourmets."
"Come look at me!" Louisa said, holding photos of herself. "The photo of the most stared at girl in all of Monaco!" Louisa was using her own body and pics to make money. "This is extremely embarrassing! I just hope Dad doesn't hear about this."
"Corn on the cob roasted to perfection and seasoned just the way you like it." Tred said as he was fanning some corn he had over a grill. "Come and get it!"
"The way this stuff is selling, we could be flying home as soon as tomorrow." Slander said as he worked on the gourmets. "Not only that, we should be able to scrape enough to buy a couple pairs of pants." He said eagerly.
"But not until we hit the party scene." Cursula interrupted, lounging in the sun in a swimsuit. "With these sunglasses, my picture will be in so many magazines I'll be famous."
"Yeah, I bet they'll be talking about you so much your ears will be burning." Tred joked.
"Watch it, your ears are burning." She warned the short man.
Sure enough, Tred forgot to fan the corn for a bit. Trying to grab one, he yelped when it burned his hand. This caused him to accidentally toss it into Cursula's ear.
Cursula paused for a bit as she felt something in her ear, before screaming when she felt the pain. "Aah! My ear is burning! My ear is burning!" She screamed as she dove into the water to put the fire out.
"Cursula, can you bring that corn back? The customers are waiting."
Cursula growled. "Oh, I'll bring it back alright! And when I do, you'll be getting an earful!"
A little while later, Louisa was hiding behind a building and was talking to her dad. "I've never, ever been so humiliated!" Louisa moaned. "I had to walk all around town like this!"
"Don't worry my Daughter!" Dr.Wu said. "I'll make sure that the media never hears about it."
"Thanks Dad." Louisa smiled. "Is the Gigantosaurus ready to be my partner?"
"No!" Dr.Wu said. "He's still refusing to obey me or you! If we can't get him on our side then all that regenerating will be for nothing!"
"We'll get him on our side soon!" Louisa said. "In the meantime, I've got to get back to the beach, and see what needs cooking." Louisa hung up and walked back to her stand. "Rhysa will pay for this, I'll make sure of that!"
Next time on Dinosaur King:
Reese: A Dinosaur in the middle of the ocean?
Max: The Hybro Gang must be close
Rex: Real close!
Dr.N: Intruders!
Cursula: Since you've made it this far, your reward will be the introduction of our newest member!
A/N: Well that's another chapter done. Hope you all enjoyed it.
Anyway, the name for Fisher, well she likes to eat Fish and it sort of came to me. Anyway now all six of the D-Team's main Dinosaurs have now had their Element Booster transformations. But the other Dinosaurs will still have them.
Also to Anonymous I'm truly sorry for messing up the colours of the Quetzalcoatlus. I don't know my colours well so please correct me when I add other Dinosaurs from the Arcade game to my story.
Now the Ankylodocus needs a name PM me or review me for name suggestions please. Also to Drew I like your reviews but could you be a little more positive please? Because I feel like when I read them you're telling me off for something bad.
But be ready for the next two chapters as they're going to be quite interesting.
See you all next time.
