A/N: Here is Chapter 39!
Weeks passed since the latest plan bombed between the rangers and the villains. Shockhound, now leader of the crew, sat in the conference room as the other three were sitting down. Shockhound took a deep breath as he went to look at the others. Maracturne was spinning in the chair with Cremelia sitting next to him. Turnchou was also sitting next to them. Shockhound looked up as he turned to them.
"How's Lionel?" asked Shockhound.
"Simple. He's knocked out from borrowing Dialga's power," Cremelia said, turning to Turnchou. Turnchou nodded as he went to speak, "Yes, after what happened I had some time to analyze."
"You mean, Gircannon's plot?" asked Shockhound.
Turnchou nodded, "You see, team… Dialga is a legendary Pokémon… one of the three in the Sinnoh Region. The fact that Dialga is able to assume human form AND zord form makes me wonder if the energy crystals we were supposed to get were actually part of a master plan?"
"You mean if Ferro Fett were alive today, we could've had that power?" asked Maracturne.
Turnchou nodded, "Oh yeah. The energy crystals, the Adamant Orb, it makes sense to why Gircannon wanted it. I think personally we should go after it. Maybe we can go back and bring Ferro Fett."
"That's going to take some time," said Cremelia.
"What if we scheme the rangers while working on the plan?" asked Maracturne.
Turnchou looked at Maracturne. He took a sigh as he looked at him, "That's going to be a no."
"Why?" asked Maracturne.
"We depleted almost all of our bounty hunters," said Turnchou, looking at the table. He then looked up, "Wait a minute…"
Turnchou stood up from the chair as he went to a wall panel. Pressing a button, he was looking at the screen. Lionel was still lying unconscious in a bed, covered by glass. He grinned as he noticed his blood work coming through, "He has Dialga genes…"
"You mean… you are going to some of Dialga energy to do what?" asked Cremelia.
"Revive some beasts from the past just like what we did before to stop them," said Turnchou, "But, what if we modified them?"
"Modify?" asked Maracturne.
"Yeah… why not?" asked Turnchou.
Shockhound, silent, listened to everyone's discussion as he got up from the chair, "Then, Maracturne, I expect you to carry out the plan. Turnchou, do what you can to use whatever's left of Dialga's DNA to revive some monsters."
"Right," said Turnchou. Maracturne nodded as he looked at Cremelia. Cremelia turned around as she looked at Shockhound, "This is going to be a tough one."
"I know, my dear. But, we have to keep going," said Shockhound, "The Adamant Orb is powerful… and I would like to use it to finish our job. We never knew that we would get to this point. But, with that much power, Ferro Fett would be pleased."

Chapter 39: Freaky Frightday
Dino Paradise…
As the rangers were finishing cleaning up the damage that was done, everybody was debriefed. Professor Rowan, Roark and Cynthia walked down the steps as they went to sit with them. Looking across, Kyland noticed a purple aura as a woman familiar walked down the stairs.
"Sally, what are you doing here?"
"Checking in," said Sally, "I heard Dialga was damaged. I guess Drake was the human form."
"Yeah," said Kyland, looking at the table. Sally placed her hand on Kyland's shoulder, "Don't worry. He's resting."
"Resting?" asked Kyland, "What if we need the ultrazord again?"
"Well, I highly doubt we will need it yet," said Jo, "But, I gathered everyone together. The Adamant Orb is a lot to focus on."
Cynthia nodded as she stepped forward, "Exactly, Josephine. I am glad you were able to retrieve the Adamant Orb in a timely manner. It was the pure essence of Dialga and Drake's power. And now we to guard it."
"So, what does the Adamant Orb do?" asked Joe, "Besides controlling time?"
"Simple. It can revert Drake to these…," Cynthia said. Changing the channel on the screen, the rangers were amazed at seeing two versions of Dialga. One was Dialga on all fours, the other was Dialga but a combination of a dragon and a centaur, similar to Arceus, "This is Drake's origin form."
"So… that is his ultimate power!" said Thomas.
"Rumor has it that the origin form gives Dialga full power. Dialga in Origin Form can create meteor showers and power to devastate," said Sally, "In his regular form, he can control time."
"So, as long as he has the Adamant Orb we're safe," said Atticus, "But, what about the Adamant Crystal?"
There was nothing in response from Cynthia or Sally. Professor Rowan looked at him, "That was lost years ago. We were lucky to even find the Adamant Orb when you rebuilt it. It was destroyed before when Lucas and Dawn fought Team Galactic."
"Wait… I remember this… Cyrus, right?' asked Dan.
"Correct. Cyrus tried to use Dialga and Palkia to rip open the Distortion World. Dialga and Palkia were saved, but Cyrus was nowhere to be found," said Rowan.
"Got it. Well, do we bring it back to Mt. Coronet?" asked Lisa.
"Well, we could… but the last thing we need is anyone destroying Arceus's temple," said Cynthia, "And that is something we as a region must protect."
She then turned around, counting the rangers. She looked at all of them. Nine of the ten were there, "Where's Grayson?"
Dan took a deep breath as he went to stand up, "I think he lost track of time. Excuse me."
Mack turned around as he got out of his seat, "I'll also go with you."
Meanwhile…
Maracturne was stumbling at an abandoned warehouse. As he walked inside the entrance to the facility, he noticed that the Mooks were working on a device. It was a blue and yellow electronic device that had a green and yellow device. Immediately, Maracturne opened his brown bag that he had stored from the ship. He picked up Lionel's blood sample and placed it in the device. As he pressed the purple button, he squirmed as he tried to figure out who would come back. A red aura struck out of the device as a familiar monster appeared. A humanoid Machamp with Braviary wings, Hitmonlee legs and a Helioptile tail that carried a football stood in front of him.
"I'm back… I thought I was dead forever…," he said, turning to Maracturne, "How's it going?"
"Touchdown!"
Suddenly, a red beam struck out as another monster appeared. It was a humanoid Hisuin Arcanine with rocky armor from head to toe. It also had blue eyes with a black moustache as it had a green and white binder and a notebook. He also had a grey and white wand with glasses.
"Professor Blazehound!"
Blazehound propped his glasses, "Hello, my student. How has it been?"
"Really bad!" shouted Maracturne, "Shut the thing off!"
As the Mook went to go press the button, the Mook pressed the button a little too late. A red beam struck out again, revealing another monster. Maracturne, unlike the other two monsters, was not happy to see this one. He was a pink humanoid Musharma with a Sandygast face. The top of his head had a pink nightcap.
"Hello!" he shouted.
Maracturne's jaw dropped, "No… you should've went back to the grave."
"Well, I'm back. Would you like a MyPillow?"
"How about take that pillow and shove it up you know where!" said Maracturne, "Guys, I resurrected you for something important."
"How important?" asked Blazehound.
"To put simply, all of the rangers found their crystals. We need to draw the rangers out and defeat them, or distract them so we can get the Adamant Orb back. That's a story for another day, but I revived you using means of time-space stuff. I need your help to stop these rangers… now that there are 10."
"TEN?" asked the monsters. Maracturne nodded in response. Professor Blazehound turned around as he looked at him, "And how can we stop these vermin?"
"Well," said Maracturne, "Seeing you are all back, I was told that maybe we should modify your powers?"
"That's a good thought," said Blazehound, turning to Master Sleeper and Touchdown, "Maracturne, allow me to assist you. I think I know how we can figure this out."
Maracturne jumped up for joy. Blazehound darted his eyes, "However, this will go on your evaluation."
Maracturne froze as he fell to the ground. Blazehound turned to Master Sleeper and Touchdown as he looked at what their next steps were going to be.
Oreburgh Fitness Center…
Grayson turned around as he went to use the saber, slashing a few scarecrows. He turned around as he was looking at the last one. Sweat was pouring down his sleeveless green t-shirt dripping down to the mat as his white pants were soaked. He began to think about weeks ago, on Drake's new power.
Drake slashed Demongun multiple times, but with every strike, Demongun dodged the attack. Demongun turned around as he grabbed a white saber, slashing Drake across. Drake flew across as he landed on the ground. Demongun went to strike, only for Drake's eyes to glow in a blue aura. He threw his saber up in the air as a blue aura surrounded it. Demongun laughed as he went to strike, only for Drake to kick him down. A blue aura surrounded his whole body as his sword began to charge.
"Roar of Time!"
Grayson opened his eyes as he charged his saber as he went to raise it. As he went to do a clockwise motion, his whole body began to focus. Closing his eyes, he opened them as he went to strike. Striking the scarecrow, the scarecrow split in half. Grayson turned around as he went to walk away, heading to look at his watch. His eyes grew as he saw the time. Before he could hustle, Dan and Mack were already watching.
"I guess I missed the meeting," said Grayson.
"Yes, you did," said Mack, "And I saw what you were doing too."
Dan turned around as Mack looked at the scarecrow split in half, "Trying to use Drake's finisher for you, huh?"
"I may have watched and observed the battle footage. It took me hours to practice that move," said Grayson, "I figured I can channel it with the energy crystal."
"Wait… so Drake can use the Roar of Time in human form with his saber," said Dan. Grayson nodded in agreement. The green ranger held it in his hand, "I figured I would be able to use his power."
"However," said Mack, "It's too powerful."
Grayson looked up as he turned to Mack, "What do you mean?"
The gold ranger turned around, "Grayson, you are so young with experience. But, do you really think one tenth of your power can be used for Drake's finisher?"
Dan turned around as he looked at Grayson, "Yeah, but do you think you can tap into Drake's power source? Dialga's powerful for one human to use."
"I figured I would be ready in case Gircannon strikes again," said Grayson, placing his saber down, "No offense Dan, but I have learned to always prepare for the shoe to drop."
Dan shook his head, "None taken. I mean, whatever works for you."
"Are you serious?" asked Mack, disagreeing, "Dan, you're too new to understand this."
"Who helped build the Adamant Orb to save you all from Gircannon almost twisting the world?" asked Dan. Mack turned around as he looked at him, "But, you never fought long enough to understand."
Before Dan could say anything, Grayson packed his things. Grayson shook his head as he went to leave. He didn't want to deal with the quarreling nor question his techniques as a swordsmen and Poké Ranger. Leaving, Mack turned around as he looked at the silver ranger, "Now you've done it."
"No, you've done it," said Dan, turning around as he went to leave. Mack shook his head as he followed Dan out the door.
Meanwhile…
"There…," said Blazehound, grinning as he was looking at the masterpiece. Maracturne was utterly confused at what he was looking at. Master Sleeper, now modified, looked up at Blazehound in confusion. Master Sleeper had a black metal backpack that wrapped around his body. Attached to his body, there were two pillow cannons to each side.
"What is this?" asked Master Sleeper.
"Do you want my help or not?" asked Blazehound.
"How am I supposed to help with this?" asked Touchdown, confused. Touchdown now had green sunglasses attached to his head as he was looking at him. He also had some rocket material attached to the back.
"Simple…," said Blazehound, "When Master Sleeper launches the pillows at the rangers, the pillows will release an energy pulse to switch bodies. Each pillow has a microchip that will be able to download and extract information."
"So, while they are in panic, we will gain information," said Touchdown, "That is a lot to ask for!"
"Yep… but trust me, it will work. You see, Maracturne… sometimes you need to be a little proactive," said Blazehound. Maracturne shook his head, unfazed with what's going on. He was just annoyed that he had to watch some of the monsters modified.
"And we are going to go test it… by drawing them out," said Blazehound, "Maracturne, watch what a professor can do. Touchdown, blow up the city."
"Simple…," said Touchdown, "I can't wait to shoot some football rockets."
Route 207…
Grayson was on the border of the city and the route as he was slashing a few trees. As he was finishing up his training, sweat was pouring down his body down to his white sweatpants. Even the green sweatband around his head had enough. Heading over toward his bench, he turned around to see his Pokémon training. Opening the bottle of water that was on the bench, he went to take a sip as he looked down. Dan was walking toward him with his arms crossed. Walking over, Grayson shook his head as he went to look for his green sleeveless shirt.
"I see that you are dedicated to your training as much as to Pokémon," said Dan.
Grayson said nothing as he went to look at the silver ranger. Dan raised an eyebrow as he looked at him, "I didn't know how well of an expert swordsman you were. What you did was phenomenal."
"Thanks, but if this is to get us talking about our views on me trying to master the Roar of Time technique, I would rather not talk about it," said Grayson, turning to Dan. Dan was quiet as Grayson continued, "This is a technique that I want to learn."
"Why?" asked Dan, "Grayson, Dialga is the only one that can master that move because he's a Pokémon."
Grayson looked up as he raised his Fossil Saber, looking at it with the sunlight beaming on it, "I understand that… but it's the technique really. If I can channel my own technique into my own energy crystal, I can do it too."
"If you know that, then how come Mack won't allow it then?' asked Dan.
Grayson turned around as he sighed, "Because he's afraid that it would be too dangerous for me. Mack… has lost many people in his life prior to being here. He's originally not from here either."
"Well, I kind of knew that," said Dan. Grayson continued, "Mack went through a lot and saw a lot happen between prehistoric times and now. He knows he can't go back in time, but he knows he can help us. Mack said that the technique I was trying to master was forbidden… that if any human were to use it, it would be harmful. I highly doubt that it would be true."
"Mack pretty much is like the dad of the crew isn't he?" asked Dan.
Grayson chuckled, "Well, yes and no. But, if you are referring to age…"
Dan chuckled as he looked at Grayson. Before they continued, there was a loud explosion not too far. Looking ahead, they were able to see a building collapse. It wasn't planned or scheduled, so they automatically knew one thing. Grayson, without hesitation, grabbed the Poké Balls and returned everyone as quickly as they could. Connecting them to the belt, the two of them started heading toward the city.
Oreburgh City…
Touchdown was running down the street as he stretched out his hand, revealing a metallic glove. Activating his gloves, football shaped rockets emerged as buildings exploded. He laughed as he looked around, turning to see what was going on, "Yes, yes… run! It's great to be back!"
As he turned around, he froze as he saw seven rangers running toward him. Leona, Joe, Atticus, Grayson, Lisa, Mack and Dan showed up in their fighting stance. Except Dan, the looks of the six rangers were priceless. Turning around to greet them, Touchdown grinned as he looked at them, "Hello, rangers! Miss me?"
"Touchdown!" shouted Atticus, pointing to him, "But… you look different."
"Ah," said Touchdown, laughing, "Like my new physique, eh? Well, allow me to give you a first down!"
Releasing more rockets, the rangers ducked as explosions occurred. The rangers fell to the ground as Leona looked up, "Rangers, let's go!"
The rangers stretched out their Fossil Chargers, "Fossil Chargers, energize!"
Pressing the button, the rangers placed the chargers in their morphers. Energy filled them as they went to activate their power, "Unleash the Power!"
Pulling the trigger, energy was unleashed as they transformed into their suits. The seven rangers struck a pose.
"Perfect!" said Touchdown.
Before the rangers could strike, two pink pillows attacked Leona and Lisa. As the two of them landed on the ground, a red and pink energy surrounded them as the pillows began to extract their information. A golden pipe appeared in between as Leona and Lisa's souls were sucked out and placed in different spots. As the pillows disappeared, Lisa looked up noticing her suit, "What in the world?"
"How are you me?" asked Leona, turning to Lisa's suit.
"What the heck?" asked Atticus.
"Well… let's just try our best," said Leona, looking at the battlefield. The five rangers grabbed their Fossil Blasters, "Dino Armor, engage!"
Sliding their shoulders, their main weapons appeared. Leona tried to use the Bastiodon Drill, only to use it the wrong way as Touchdown smacked her in the stomach. Lisa went to use the Tyrantrum Claw, only for Touchdown to knock her down with his rockets. As Lisa landed on the ground, Atticus and Joe went at him. Touchdown turned around as Atticus jumped up with his Carracosta Shield while Joe used his Armaldo Blaster. Before they could pull the trigger, two pink pillows were struck, hitting them in the chest. The same process happened as their souls switched. Atticus looked up, seeing he was in Joe's suit, "This is so weird."
"Get out of my body!" said Joe.
"Uh… that's Touchdown's problem," said Atticus.
"I told you this was going to be fun!" said Touchdown. He turned around as Mack and Grayson charged in. As the two rangers charged, Dan decided to follow. Dan was running behind them as Mack and Grayson went to strike with the Golden Amber Saber and the Kabutops Blaster. Before the blades touched, Dan noticed two pink pillows striking them. As the same thing happened, he noticed another pink pillow coming toward him. He quickly reached for his Diamond Blaster and pulled the trigger, shooting it down. Turning to see, he froze as he saw Master Sleeper. Grayson pointed to him, in Mack's body.
"You… are alive?" asked Grayson.
"Oh, wonderful. Creampuff is back," said Mack.
"I am not a creampuff. I am Master Sleeper. And instead of putting you to sleep, this will be a game changer. Have fun with your new bodies!" he said. A pink cloud of dust surrounded him as he disappeared, following Touchdown. Dan turned around as he looked at the others. Six flashes of light surround them as they turned to each other, arguing. The silver ranger sighed as he had to bring them back.
Dino Paradise…
"Be nice to my body," said Joe, "I have girls on speed dial."
"And you be nice to mine. It took me forever to look good and be kind to my Pokémon!" Atticus said, grumbling.
As the two rangers were arguing, Jo, Kyland and Thomas were frozen as Dan walked toward them. Kyland looked at the six rangers bickering as he turned to the new ranger, "Jeez, what did you do?"
"Nothing… but Touchdown and Master Sleeper showed up and they modified," said Dan.
"Those two crazies are alive and upgraded?" asked Jo.
"I'm assuming you beat them before," said Dan.
"Yes, we did," the aqua ranger said reluctantly.
Dan turned around as he looked at everyone. He was trying to process the whole thing, as well as how those monsters were out for revenge. Grayson turned around as he looked at Mack, "Well, at least I can try using that move using your saber."
Mack, looking up, turned around as he looked at him, "Absolutely not!"
Grayson, stuck in Mack's body, turned around as he looked at him, "Then battle me."
Jo sighed as she went to look at her laptop. Thomas and Kyland turned to her as she stared at the screen. Dan placed his hands on the table, "Are we going to stop them?"
"They will fight anyway. But… we need to break the spell… somehow," said Jo, hastily looking at her laptop.
As she went to look up, flashes of gold and green appeared as they disappeared. The rangers looked at each other and then at Jo. Jo rolled her eyes as she slammed her fists to the computer, "And there they go… see, I told you."
Dan sighed as he dashed over toward the exit. As he stepped on the platform, he reached for the Diamond Blaster and pulled the trigger. A silver aura surrounded it as he disappeared from Dino Paradise.
Oreburgh Fitness Center…
Mack was dressed in Grayson's green t-shirt with black sweatpants while Grayson wore a black t-shirt with blue sweatpants. Each ranger had a wooden stick as they were standing across the battlefield. Mack narrowed his eyes as he looked at Grayson, "If I win… you are to never practice that move."
"And if I win… you will let me do what I want."
"Deal," Mack responded.
As the two rangers went at it with the wooden sticks, Dan went to sit down as he was eating a bag of chips. He was curious to see who would win. Looking across, Grayson swung across as Mack flipped over. Mack landed on the ground as he went to lunge with his saber. Grayson blocked it with the saber as he went to attack, only for Mack to dodge and grab his arm. Grayson cringed as he stepped on his foot and threw him to the ground. Re-establishing control of his grip, the wooden saber went for it as Mack rolled across. As Mack rolled across, dodging, he used his leg to sweep Grayson to the ground. Grayson and Mack rolled all over, throwing punches and kicks. Immediately, as the two of them broke apart, Grayson and Mack swung each saber together. With a loud crack, both wooden sabers broke off as they looked at each other.
"How?" asked Mack.
Grayson, breathing, looked up as he turned to him. Mack was also out of breath as they both turned around, seeing Dan walk down the stairs.
"That was a really good duel!"
"And you watched us because…," said Grayson.
"I wanted to see you fight," said Dan, "You two have good fighting skills."
Grayson nodded as he turned to Mack, who was wincing in pain, "What is it?"
"Your body… your left hand… it's in pain…. You were practicing that move, weren't you?"
Before Grayson said anything, a white arrow appeared behind him as it pierced the mat. The three rangers looked at it as Dan grabbed the arrow. It said the word "Challenge: Route 207" in black letters.
"We've been summoned," said Dan.
"And how are we going to fight mixed?" asked Mack.
"We just got to do what we can," the silver ranger responded, "Wait… what if the six of you use your own fighting styles?"
"You mean… give Mack's Aero Amber Saber to him and I get my Kabutops Slasher? That's a good idea, but would it work?" asked Grayson.
"It's worth a try," said Mack.
"And I am sure the others would agree," said Dan, "Now, let's go before those revived monsters set Oreburgh City on fire."
Route 207…
Master Sleeper was sitting down as he was looking at the trees as he was looking at his watch. Turning around, Touchdown and Professor Blazehound were sitting down as they were looking at the path heading toward Oreburgh City. Maracturne walked toward them, annoyed as he walked toward them.
"Do you really think this is going to work?" asked Maracturne, turning to Blazehound. Blazehound shrugged as he looked at him, "We need to do what's best for us. Do you want the rangers gone?"
"Well, yeah!" said Maracturne, "After all the crap we went through, it's time we send them packing."
"Then let's see how they do… mixed up…" he said.
"Look no further!"
The monsters turned around as they saw the six rangers, mixed up. This time, Leona, who was stuck in Lisa's body, stood in the middle. As the six rangers stared them down, Dan, Kyland, and Thomas were sneaking behind the bushes. As the rangers were beginning to start conversation, Dan reached for his Dino Com.
"Alright, Jo… we're in position," said Dan.
"Good…," said Jo over the intercom, "Your objective is to study what causes them to body switch. Don't engage until I tell you to."
"But, shouldn't one person do this? We should be fighting!" said Kyland.
"Unless you want to get body swapped, I would hunker down," said Thomas, pulling Kyland down to the ground, "Once we get the rangers back to normal, that's when we will strike."
Back on the field…
"So!" said Leona, "You think you can stop us if we exchanged bodies?"
Atticus cracked his knuckles as he turned around, "I can't wait to clobber them."
Joe went to say something, but then shook his head. He didn't want to quarrel over finger cracking as he looked at Touchdown and the others, "Shall we guys?"
"Remember," said Grayson, "The goal is to find the weak spot and bring our bodies back. Don't forget to exchange weapons, if need be."
"Right," said Lisa, turning around, "I hope you are all right about this."
"I would like to be back in my body," said Mack, "So, this better work. No offense, Grayson, but-."
"We are not arguing right now. Let's battle!" said Leona, side elbowing Mack in the stomach.
The villains on the ground were laughing hysterically. The six rangers looked across as Master Sleeper was shaking his head, "You are coming up with a plan and the funny part is you are still arguing about your bodies!"
Leona rolled her eyes, "Let's Poké Battle!"
"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. Mack placed the Aerodactyl Charger in his morpher.
Tyrantrum Charger, Energize!
Armaldo Charger, Energize!
Carracosta Charger, Energize!
Kabutops Charger, Energize!
Bastiodon Charger, Energize!
Aerodactyl Charger, Energize!
The rangers spun the blasters as Mack pulled the lever on his. A golden aura surrounded each blaster as they struck their blasters in the air, "Unleash the Power!"
Releasing the energy, the rangers transformed into their suits as they stood together. Immediately, Leona and the others decided to make it a little fun.
"Bastiodon! Dino Charge Red!"
"Carracosta! Dino Charge Black!"
"Armaldo! Dino Charge Blue!"
"Aerodactyl! Dino Charge Green!"
"Bastiodon! Dino Charge Red!"
"Kabutops! Dino Charge Gold!"
"Poké Rangers Dino Charge!"
Explosions appeared as the rangers posed. Leona turned around as she looked at the crew, "It's about to get wild… a lot wild!"
The six rangers headed straight toward the monsters. Blazehound flipped backwards as he tried to strike Joe and Atticus. Joe and Atticus nodded as they used their blasters, dragging them down their right shoulder.
"Dino Armor, Engage!"
Releasing their weapons, the two rangers exchanged as they went to strike. Joe slid as he used his Armaldo Blaster. Black beams struck as he was hit. Spinning around, Blazehound looked at Atticus who swung his Carracosta Shield. Blazehound blocked it with his baton as he smacked it back. Explosions occurred as the two rangers yelled. Blazehound laughed as he looked at them, "Did you honestly think I was going to let you do this?"
Blazehound released a red energy beam from his steel baton. As it launched up in the air, the red beam struck across. Explosions occurred as Joe and Atticus were caught in it. Explosions appeared as the two rangers landed on the ground.
Next, Touchdown released multiple footballs toward Leona and Lisa. Leona and Lisa kicked them back as Touchdown dodged them quickly. Explosions occurred as he then stretched out his arm, "Football Rockets!"
A good ten footballs launched out as they were heading straight for the two. Explosions occurred around the area as Touchdown laughed, looking at them, "Now that was fun…"
He then looked down, seeing a pink crack in the dirt. Touchdown squirmed as Lisa appeared with her Bastiodon Drill, knocking Touchdown in the air. Immediately, Leona turned around as she used her Tyrantrum Fang, slashing him. As Touchdown landed on the ground, Leona and Lisa grinned as they high fived each other. Touchdown grumbled, "How did you-?"
"It's called teamwork, which you lack," said Leona, laughing.
Meanwhile, Grayson and Mack were slashing back and forth against Master Sleeper. Master Sleeper turned around as he was trying to find his way out of the battle. However, as he turned around, he noticed Grayson with his Kabutops Slasher. Immedaitely, Master Sleeper pressed a green button on his wrist. A black pillow erupted from the pipe as Grayson was hit. Explosions occurred as Grayson fell. Mack dashed forward with his saber, cutting him into pieces. A golden aura surrounded his saber. As he struck, Maracturne quickly pulled out his green submachine gun and pulled the trigger. Needles struck Mack as the saber landed on the ground.
"Now!" shouted Maracturne.
Master Sleeper laughed as he released six pink pillows. As the pillows hit each ranger. Pink auras surrounded them as their spirits of their bodies began to emerge out, mixing them up. As the rangers landed on the ground, they were all exhausted from the switch. This time each ranger was in a different body. Joe looked up as he was noticing that he was wearing red, "Oh my!"
Lisa looked up to see she was wearing a gold ranger suit, "Mack…. Please tell me…"
Mack turned around, dressed in a black ranger suit, "Nope…"
Atticus cringed as he was wearing the pink ranger suit, "Oh no… no… no!"
"Still don't matter," said Grayson, wearing the blue ranger suit, "Exchange!"
Master Sleeper laughed as he released more pillows. The rangers bodies were getting switched back and forth. The villains were laughing as they were seeing their souls go back and forth like a ping pong ball. Dan turned around as he looked at Master Sleeper, watching this. There was a pink aura coming from it.
"Dan, the source is coming from the device Master Sleeper is wearing. It looks like one of those portable vacuum cleaners to be used on the back. Destroy it and everything should be fine. I'll be right there," said Jo.
"10-4," said Dan. Thomas nodded as he stretched out his hand. A blue aura surrounded him as Master Sleeper froze. As he tried to move, Blazehound and Touchdown looked in surprise with Maracturne, who was cringing, "Oh no…"
Kyland and Dan pulled out their blasters and took out their Fossil Chargers, "Fossil Charger, energize!"
A silver and aqua glow surrounded them as they placed them in the blaster. Aiming for the device, both rangers pulled the trigger as it swirled around, piercing the device. Explosions surrounded Master Sleeper as the device erupted. The six rangers were knocked down as each ranger went back to their original bodies. Grayson and Mack looked up as they turned to each other.
"We're back!" Grayson shouted.
"Thank gosh," said Mack, looking at the others. As the rangers came to their senses, a violet aura arrived as Jo appeared. Kyland, Thomas and Dan turned around as Maracturne looked down.
"I think it's time we teach you a lesson in taking advantage of other people," said Dan, "Boys?"
Thomas, Kyland and Dan stretched out their Fossil Charger, "Fossil Chargers, energize!"
Placing them in their morphers, the rangers did their dance as they spun the blaster, "Unleash the Power!"
An explosion of energy surrounded them as they transformed into their suits. The rangers stood forward as Maracturne gulped, "This is not good!"
"Tyrantrum, I Choose You!"
Pressing the Fossil Charger, she threw it in the air. A red aura surrounded her charger as Tyrantrum landed on the ground, "Tyrantrum Max Charger, Energize!"
As she pressed the white charger, she threw it toward Tyrantrum. Tyrantrum absorbed it as it transformed into a miniature Tyrantrum. Grabbing Tyrantrum, Leona used another Fossil Charger as the Tyrantrum turned into the Tyrantrum Max Blaster.
"Fossil Charger, Energize!"
As she pressed the Tyrantrum charger, she placed it in the Tyrantrum Max Blaster. A red aura surrounded her as her ranger suit appeared. A golden aura surrounded her body as a Tyrantrum emerged from behind her. A red aura surrounded her armor as a Tyrantrum face was placed on her chest. It was gold with green eyes. She also had gold armor on her shoulders. Turning around, she also had gold spikes on her helmet as her visor had green and ruby lines.
"Tyrantrum Max! Dino Super Charge Red!"
"Victory Charger, energize!"
Mack also stretched out his charger, "Maximum Charger, energize!"
Pressing the chargers together, a bluish-pinkish aura surrounded the charger as mega charger combined into one. Sliding into the Tyrantrum Max Blaster, the rangers stood together. The five rangers charged energy into the Victory Charger where Mack, Kyland, Grayson, Jo and Dan filled their energy into the Maximum Charger.
A golden energy beam formed in the blaster, aiming for the three monsters, Blazehound, Master Sleeper and Touchdown were all aimed in one section.
"Victory Maximum Beam!"
A bluish-white beam struck out of the Tyrantrum Max Blaster, with ten lights of energy coming from their prospective prehistoric Pokémon. Piercing through the energy beam, the three monsters screamed as they all fell to the ground, causing an explosion.
"Oh don't think I'm done yet," said Maracturne, "I have something planned. Magna Beam!"
Pressing the button on his smartwatch, the then pressed another purple beam, "Monster Fusion!"
A purplish-white beam struck down from the sky as the corpses of all three monsters combined together. The rangers watched as they saw Master Sleeper's body being the torso with the vacuum connected to it. Touchdown's arms and legs were used to be a part of it and Blazehound's head was also used. The monster opened its mouth as flame bombs appeared. The rangers dodged the attack as they landed on the ground. Jo turned around as she looked at the others, "It's time…"
"Right!" said Leona, "All zords, we choose you!"
As the rangers pressed their Fossil Chargers, auras of energy surrounded them as their zords appeared. Immediately, it was a warzone. As football rockets were launched, Omastar and Aerodactyl released energy beams, shooting down the creature. Tyrantrum used its tail to smack it down. However, Tyrantrum's tail was caught as the creature spun it around, knocking the other zords down.
"How did that happen?" asked Leona.
Jo turned around as she went to use her helmet, "Everyone, it seems that monster is triple the power of normal due to the fact that they combined."
"Hee hee… you finally figured it out," Maracturne said.
The rangers turned around as Maracturne grinned, "I had a feeling you would do this, so I set the Magna Beam to combine monsters. Just like you guys do…"
"You're very observant," said Grayson.
"Yep… Did you honestly think I would give up without a fight? Show them your new moves!"
The creature pulled out its baton as red and orange energy appeared around it. Raising its baton, the creature slammed the baton in the ground, creating a blue and green spark explosion. The zords were hit as they flew to the ground, causing some earthquakes and tremors. The rangers landed on the ground as Maracturne laughed, "Now, I'm going to let you have some fun! Dialga can't save you now!"
A green aura surrounded Maracturne as he disappeared. The rangers turned around as Dan stood in front, "Ancient Force Change!"
Immediately, Archeops flew across as its legs moved down to be human legs. Archeops opened the middle as arms emerged, buried in the body, closing back, Archeops had silver and black arms. The Archeops head moved down as a human head appeared with a golden crown appeared. The tail detached from Archeops as it transformed into a sapphire, emerald like saber with a ruby hilt. Holding on to it, the Megazord stood on the ground. Dan jumped up as he landed in the cockpit.
Placing the Diamond Blaster in the holster, he turned around to activate the zord.
"Ancient Force Megazord, battle ready!"
The creature released multiple beams of energy as explosions occurred. The Ancient Force Megazord flew across as it slashed the creature down. Immediately, Master Sleeper released a black pillow from the combined monster toward the Ancient Force Megazord. Before Dan could react, the explosion occurred before contact. Dan turned around as Tyrantrum arrived, angrily.
"Tyrantrum!" said Leona, "Let's do it, guys!"
"Five Fossil Fusion!"
Tyrantrum jumped up in response to what was said. Tyrantrum began to form the base like he did for the Fossil Charge Megazord. However, his legs began to fold inward. Armaldo and Bastiodon folded their legs as they got on all fours as they connected to the Tyrantrum's legs. Kabutops and Carracosta began to fold into arms as their bodies connected. The shell of Carracosta moved down to the end as it shifted downward. The Ancient Force Megazord transformed back into Archeops as it swooped around, connecting to the back of the zord. The tail transformed into the saber as it was held on to Archeops. Immediately, all ten rangers were in the cockpit.
The cockpit was black in the background with ten different spotlight colors. Each ranger was standing in the following order. In the back row, there was Kyland, Jo, Dan, Mack and Thomas. In the front, it was Joe, Atticus, Leona, Grayson and Lisa. Mack placed his Aero Amber Saber in the slot while the others installed their blasters. Their bodies began to glow as the Aerodactyl, Rampardos, Omaster and Aurorus arrived behind them. The Aurorus Zord stood as the base with the Aerodactyl landing on top with Rampardos and Omastar landing on either side of its wing.
"Dino Charge Ultrazord, Battle Ready!"
The creature released more football rockets and fire bombs. The Dino Charge Ultrazord rolled out as explosions occurred around them. As one hit the rangers, the rangers hung on for dear life.
"Come on, we can't give up yet!" Leona said.
Another beam of energy occurred as the rangers were hit. The rangers hung on as Jo was looking at her panel, "It seems this combined creature is more powerful than we thought."
Joe turned around, "Well, let's try our finisher shall we?"
"Right!" shouted the rangers.
As the rangers withdrew their weapons, the Aurorus nodded as it lowered its head. As the Dino Charge Ultrazord moved closer, it connected to the other zords as all the energies combined into one.
"Full Power!"
"Dino Charge Ultrazord, Spectral Missile!"
Placing the saber on Aurorus, Aurorus absorbed the saber as the energy began to charge from all ten rangers. Opening its mouth, a wave of energy with the saber intact was unleashed. Colors of red, black, blue, green, pink, gold, aqua, grey and violet silver combined into one as the saber. As the saber was coming toward them, the creature released a green and yellow shield that surrounded them. A red and orange beam was unleashed from Blazehound's mouth as the energy was going back and forth. The rangers held on as they were trying their best. Both hands stretched out as they saw that the football rockets were about to be unleashed.
"Keep pushing!" shouted Leona, "Use everything we got!"
As the rangers were struggling, a blue aura surrounded the cockpit and the Megazord. The rangers looked up as Jo turned around to look at her screen. She noticed the energy levels exceeding the limit, but not causing damage to the zords internally. The spear turned into a blue aura as it pierced straight through the shield. As the shield exploded, a blue line of energy struck as the creature was hit. The creature fell to its knees and exploded.
"How did that happen?" asked Atticus.
Leona looked at him, "There's only one guess… but how?"
Dino Paradise…
Hours passed since the battle between all of the monsters. The rangers were hanging out at Dino Paradise, still somewhat damaged from Gircannon, but functionable to hang out. Everyone was just excited to be back in their own forms. As they went to sit down, Grayson yawned as he went to put his feet on the table.
"I'm so glad that this is over… talk about a thing I never want to experience again," said Grayson.
Mack walked over as he put his hands on Grayson's shoulders, "You and me both."
Thomas and Kyland stepped down as they brought buckets of food from the Oreburgh Food Market, premade and ready for consumption. When battling, they always knew that they would be hungry afterwards. All of the rangers had expressions when the bags were opened: Poffins, Berry Pies, chocolates and even fruit platters. All of them were hanging out as they were eating. However, as they went to take a bite, Grayson froze as he looked up. Dan turned around as he looked up, following suit. Soon, it was a domino effect. The rangers stared as a blue aura appeared in front of them. As it diminished, Dialga showed up. A blue aura surrounded Dialga as it transformed back to Drake. Drake's eyes opened as he looked at the team, "Well… it's good to be home…"
"You were knocked out for a while," said Leona, looking at him with excitement, "How did you wake up?"
Drake turned around as he looked at Grayson. Grayson looked at Drake as he narrowed his eyes down toward the berry pie he was going to open. Drake walked forward as he looked at him, "Well, I felt that you were experiencing trouble, so my Adamant Orb woke me from my slumber. But, I was partially awake because of someone in this room."
He turned around as he darted at Grayson, "You tried to use one of my moves with your crystal didn't you?"
Grayson was silent as he looked up, nodding his head. Drake shook his head in response as he went to look at the others, "Grayson, may I talk to you alone?"
Grayson nodded as he stood up. The others decided to continue their conversation. However, Dan wasn't going to mind his own business as he went to look at them. As Grayson was pulled aside, Drake turned to him in response, "Grayson Himura, the Roar of Time is a signature move that only I can do alone. What were you thinking trying to do that?"
"I was hoping to use your move as a way to destroy Maracturne's cronies. I had no idea that using that move would activate your essence," said Grayson, "And wake you up…"
"In a way," said Drake, turning to Grayson, "I'm proud that you were able to make that work. However, this move should not be used…"
"But, if something happens to you… who else would be able to learn it?" asked Grayson. Drake said nothing as he walked away. Grayson turned around, "Then, Drake… how can I be your pupil?"
Drake stopped as he looked up at the wall. He turned around as he looked at him, "Pupil?"
"Yes," said Grayson, "Look, I understand that I can't control time. It's impossible for me to do it. But, at least let me know the ways of the Creation Trio."
"You want to know how to use the basics of what the legendaries do through your power?" asked Drake.
Grayson nodded slowly, "It would be an honor."
Drake looked beyond him as Dan was staring at what was going on. Dan turned around as he went to mind his own business, but then decided to change his mind. As he stepped out and headed toward him, Drake turned to him, "Don't think I didn't see you listening."
"I expected you to say that," said Dan.
"Well," said Drake, "It seems Grayson that I would be teaching not just one, but two."
"Two?" asked Dan and Grayson.
"Yes… but there's so much to learn about the ancient powers of Sinnoh. In due time, you will learn how to handle it… but now like me and the other Pokémon do. If that makes sense."
Both rangers nodded in agreement as they shook hands with Drake. Drake looked up as he watched the rangers having their own conversations.
Next Chapter…
Cremelia has a plan that goes a little berserk! With the use of her creative plans, she figured she would drain the youth of every single woman in the Sinnoh Region, including, Jo, Lisa and Leona. However, will Lisa and the girls sit there and watch this monster go ballistic? I hope not!
Poké Rangers Dino Charge Chapter 40: True Beauty
A/N: So, a filler chapter I would say but I think it was a great way to bring back Drake and opens up about Grayson and Dan's friendship more. With ten rangers, it is very tricky to get it all figured out for sure. Also, this is the first time we actually used three monsters and combined them into something. I saw it in rare sentai movies or even in Power Rangers, but not as a day-to-day episode. I also need Drake/Dialga back for the rest of the season.
So… we do have another filler, so I hope you get a chance to see it next time. It's going to be fun! See you then!
