Connecting to Partners

A few days after the war against chaos, something stirred in the cosmos once more. What was a mystery prior, is soon to be relieved as a particular boy and his band if misfits get swept up into the on going battle between Light, Dark and the Truth. New bonds will be forged, and older ones will be stronger than before as the conflict takes a turn

13. City of Heroes

In a lane between gate ways. A Gummi Ship, modeled after a particular air craft, raced in between giant asteroids, doing battle against a mechanical worm. Ken was manning the man cockpit, being in sync with his ship and setting his sights on the worms pattern of burrowing and using the rocks as a shield to make a lunge. Olette and Pence lined up a set of cannons in their weapons seat as Hayner inputted a command to apply missiles, Xion had her finger on a button as Ken saw a wall give a crack and had the ship aim her guns.

"FIRE!"

At the command, the ship fired laser cannons and super heated missiles at a Jörmungandr that lunged out with a mouth of rotating teeth. Blasting it to kingdom come and causing it to dissolve into darkness and metal. Oshawott was clinging onto Ken's back, screaming the whole time as the ship escaped the Cross Section. Danger lessened and the one armed boy stood up proudly and calmed his companion. "Don't worry, that's the last of them."

The trio of kids who have little experience in battle turned to their squad leader with some astonishment, Ken knew they were wanting questions and advised. "Never ambush someone who's survived a war and has won bigger battles. They might still be equipped to end a fight." Hayner swallowed nervously as the ship went into open space. "Noted."

Pence saw an alignment of asteroids and distant planets, wondering if he was dreaming or not. "This really is Outer Space! We've bypassed the ways to travel to all those planets!" Olette nodded as the ship, Brynhildr, sailed onward. "Everything looks bigger and bigger, making us look like a bunch of ants." Xion corrected her. "A bunch of ants that can mess up a giant!"

Blip!

A screen opened up and show cased a warning. "World ahoy!"

The crew saw in the far distance, a particular world, composing of a city and a giant red lined bridge. Xion's eyes widen and Ken clenched his fist and drew it towards himself in childish glee. "Yes! We're heading to the jackpot!" Pence noticed by the behavior. "You've been to this world before, you want to tell us about it?" Ken calmed his breath and directed his hand to the more visible world. "This, is where Big Hero 6 lives. One big city we can make into our own." He closed his eyes in passion. "This... is... perfect."

Hayner gasped and clapped. "Alright, so all we got to do is find those guys and we can get started!" Ken gestured like it was precisely the plan. "Get started, talk with them and at the worst, have a map so we can mark our progress. The largest city you will ever find and if the calling is correct, we'll have a lot of pokemon waiting." Xion thought of something and gave a gentle tap to a computer. "Hey Bryn, just in case, could you work to finding a base we can use? We could be here a while." The screen showed a thumbs up and went closer and closer.

In the busy City, over a neighborhood.

A fast flying, electrical stag beetle made a hurry from a detour in the ocean, seeing it too much of a risk to drop a particular payload that was flopping in a panic. A red carp. "Yuk! Yuk! Are we close to water, Vikavolt?"

The insect buzzed a crackle in his mandibles in a short temper. "I'm hurrying, I'm hurrying, there ain't no way I'm dumping you over that mess." He kept at a velocity and found himself over a pleasant looking neighborhood, he was thinking fast and found a rather grand manor with a backyard that looked more akin to a park. Completed with a fountain in the center that had fauna. "That will do!"

Zip!

He slowed down and fluttered over the water, the carp found the water pleasing to the eye and flopped. "Pond! Pond!" Vikavolt let the fish go and looked around. "That ought to do, until I can contact the rest of my team, Magikarp."

He pulled out a badge he wore on his belly and brought it close to view as his forelimbs could, he gave it a shake and felt nothing happening. He blinked awkwardly and aimed it to the sky to make it shine, nothing happened. The bug buzzed in a temper he was losing. "Come on, work!"

The carp kept an even swim and asked in concern. "They're not coming?" The Vikavolt cringed. "If I had the Team Bag, I'd pull a recall orb and try that!" He realized. "But then I'd have been warped out of here before I could help out." He hissed in frustration and recited a vow. ""We flock together and flow to where we need to be. If the wind becomes rough, we find a way back." He gave a faint jolt, desperate to keep a memory alive. "That's what we promised ever since we soared for the first time! So where are they?"

Leap! "Huya! It's go time!" Magikarp and Vikavolt turned to find that a bipedal blue monster with a orange belly, orange going from the nose to the cranium, a sucker like maw and three orange eyes. Rolling from the back door of the mansion and standing for a battle. Vikavolt charged up with his mandibles as the monster halted his pose, the insect mistook that for a moment of intimidation and hissed. "Back off, Jack! I'm not in the mood!"

The Magikarp leaned his head to the fountain's edge as the monster put his hands to his face in glee. "Hoo! The Vikavolt's protecting the Magikarp!" He hopped up and down as Vikavolt was realizing the sucker maw wasn't moving, the stranger turned to a butler that was keeping watch. "We're going to need a bigger pond!"

The Vikavolt had a look at a simple gentleman with short black hair and a short mustache, the butler pressed a button and caused noise from bellow. The fountain sank into the ground and the earth split to show a wider, deeper dome, allowing the edge of the fountain to lower itself and quickly fill, enough for Magikarp to actually swim around in. Vikavolt was in awe as the monster flipped open his cranium and showed a chestnut haired, blue eyed human with a green beanie. Having glee in meeting the two. "This is so cool!" He gasped. "You both came from that funnel, have you?"

The bug was surprised and buzzed a yep, laughing off his hostility. "If I'd known that you know, I'd come here first!" The human didn't know what was said but has enough knowledge of what he's looking at. "Don't worry, there shouldn't be anything for that carp to fight around here, this mansion has him covered until I can tell the guys about this."

The Magikarp swam to him and splashed his fins in glee. "Thank you!" He kept the splash in a repeat of energy. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" The gratitude wasn't stopping and it took Vikavolt a moment to realize what was about to happen, the carp glowed and begun to evolve into something much bigger and longer. Vikavolt and the human looked on with terror as the Magikarp finished his evolution, into a blue sea serpent with an light yellow colored underbelly, an intimidating face, a three pointed blue crest on the forehead, white dorsal fins on segments of his back and a fin on each cheek. The more distinguished aspect, is an intimidating face with four fans, two fish whiskers and a pair of red eyes.

The human cringed as the serpent had a new problem that caused him to thrash for a moment and resigned to curling up. Vikavolt swallowed at something he's caused. "Oh, this isn't good!" He asked the serpent calmly. "We're still buddies, right Gyarados?"

The Gyarados growled at his ill luck. "At least the ponds quiet, but now it's too small for me. What are we gonna do?" Vikavolt was quick to appreciate the serpent being in a calm mood as the human had a signal of something, he was hesitate to hurry to an emergency. "Oh man, oh man, oh man! We got trouble out in the city." He flipped his costume back on. "I got to take this, just keep calm until I get back with some friends."

The Vikavolt cringed. "Urk! I'll try to keep this guy from getting spooked!" The human hurried as the insect turned, having about as much fear as the Gyarados that shifted his eyes to the sky. "Do you think he's going to be a help?" Vikavolt closed his eyes. "I hope so, he's the only one around here that knows what we are."

At a grand gate like bridge with red arches.

The squad found themselves at the side of the road that lead into a grand city. Ken and Xion were pleased to be at the area once more as Oshawott and the trio from Twilight Town looked over the edge to have their breaths taken away. It was enough that Xion brought out her Nymble and had her share in the view, the grasshopper jumped on the girl's shoulder and was feeling quite small in the scope of things. Ken saw the band were overwhelmed by the view and readied a fast ball. "This was what we talked about the other day. One big city as far as the eye can see, you can get lost here for hours and feel like you'd only understand a portion of it."

He let out the Cyclizar that was seeing the grand metropolis and looked on to the road, having more twists and turns than he could imagine. He wagged his tale and revved up before shifting into his ride mode. Hayner forced himself to look away and admit. "We're going to be here a while if a lot of pokemon had fallen into this kind of place. We need to find a good base or something once we meet up with Big Hero 6."

Ken activated his armor to have it serve as biker gear as Xion felt that was an agreement. "They could be anywhere, so we'll need to find their trail as soon as possible." Ken sat on the Cyclizar as Olette had an idea. "Maybe we can figure out how those guys made their gear, so we can step it up." She requested to the keybearers. "Lead the way, captains!"

Ken gave Cyclizar a light tap with his foot. "Alright, let's keep ourselves slow until we find something off." He called to Oshawott. "You and me will know when it's charging time!" The otter understood and hurried to get on the boys shoulder, watching the one armed boy take the lead.

It wasn't long until they heard people screaming about something and a fight ensuing, giving Ken a reason to have his steed advance fast and follow the noise. A certain band of super heroes were taking cover behind cars. A dark skin man with green armor, a yellow armored lady with wheels at the heels, a lady with a pink armored dress and a strap of orbs and a certain young man in a blue monster costume. By them is a man sized, bipedal orange, fiery boar beast that has what looked to be fur resembling black gloves, a wide black belt with a side ways yellow s across it, black boots, black brows and fire across his neck. The boar caught the truck, was sent skidding back and used his strength to place the vehicle out of the way before giving a glare to what looked like a young child in a costume with an over sized burger for a head. The burger looked to have noodles shaped like buns. The child was using a black floating, four armed mecha to do battle and waited for that first move. The boar aimed a hand and shot out a stream of scalding water for a ranged attack.

"BOAR!"

The Burger Boy dodged it fast. "Nice try, but these noodles aren't getting cooked this time!" He fired beams upon the Boar Man, who focused on dodging despite his wide frame. PEW! A shot sent the boar man rolling back. Right on que for the the arrival a red armored robot and a boy in what looked to be a purple set of battle and a matching helmet. The Burger boy picked up another car for a throw. "Hello; I'm so glad you can join us for this super brawl special!"

Fling!

To the surprise of his squad mates, the boy genius caught it with ease. "Wouldn't miss it." LEAP!

In a sudden, a motorcycle lizard leaped over the boy and a duo jumped off. A teenager in a set of armor, calling upon a dark blade and ordering. "Ram him! Oshawott, water gun!" The lizard sprinted after the mecha and dodged laser shots before giving a full speed breaking swipe, the otter followed with a water shot as the boy gave a long rang bombardment of stars.

The burger boy was knocked back an inch and had high pressured water in his face while hearing his mecha get torn asunder. The boy in purple used that as a chance to toss the car at the Burger Boy, he caught it and tore it in half in frustration. "Where did you find this guy from?"

The boy genius shrugged and dodged the purple beams from the lower arms of the mecha, he rolled and used a man hole cover as a shield as Oshawott back flipped in a near fumble, while Cyclizar twirled in a fast rapid spin to keep on the move. The otter saw a gap on the upper left arm and used an air slash to sever it as Ken pressed Night Sky to both hands and ready it like one a katana. Vanishing in the blink of light and appearing behind the other arm, slicing it off on one blow, Ken used the moment of shock to slice the lower left arm off and gave the boy genius an opening to use the man hole as a disk, slicing into the final hand and making it short circuit. The Burger Boy was forced to flee as Ken turned. "Nice work guys." He saw a familiar friend that begun to recognize the blade, the boy genius felt a little comfortable with his ego deflated and asked. "Wait a minute, that Keyblade looks a little-" Flicker! Ken deactivated his helmet and waved. "Hey Hiro, hey Baymax! Sorry to butt into business, but the noise wasn't easy to ignore."

He waved. "Sup Wasabi, Gogo, Honey, Fred?" The band heard someone catching up, Xion and a familiar trio from a distant town. Baymax waved to them. "Hello again! It appears you've brought more visitors with you today?" Hayner waved back and explained. "It's complicated, but I think they're related to that guy right there." He pointed to the Boar man that flinched at the sight of someone with pokemon and gave a one arm flex. (This means someone around here can actually hear me?) He approached and explained in a series of oinks. (There's a ton of pokemon that gotten lost in this city and some of the people around here and freaking out a lot! You mind if we let them know that help's finally showed up?)

Oshawott sighed and tapped at the side of the Boar mans leg. (You might want to slow down there, they still have a hard time understanding all of that.) Nymble chirped. (They're good at figuring this one out.) Ken used his Dex to check out the Boar Man and was impressed to see that is indeed. "Emboar: The Mega Fire Pig Pokemon, a fire/fighting type and a well known starter from-" He stopped there. "okay now things are making sense." Oshawott looked up to the comparable giant and turned to ask. (Do we gotta fight him after that?)

Ken heard the complaint and shook his head. "Heck no, you and Cyclizar would get creamed if you fight him right now." He went with a back up plan and asked the band. "Have you guys already made friends with Emboar?" Wasabi shook his head, with ill news to give. "This guy showed up while that Burger Boy was attacking the town." Gogo had a look at the Emboar that was hoping his request was heard. "He's not some guy in a costume, otherwise he wouldn't have blinked." She shifted her eyes over to the obvious costumed hero that is gasping to a realization. "Is he actually the real deal! Guys, Emboar is one of the starter pokemon from the fifth Generation!" He waved his arms as the band gave a combined. "Huh?!" Honey Lemon put a hand to her hip. "Do you know how he got here?" Xion raised her hand in an answer. "We need to take this privately, because he's a big deal." Emboar was hearing that right and had a tusked smile as Pence explained. "He's not the only one that's gotten lost here and we came to take care of that. Was there anything else you guys found that was weird?" Fred leaped and waved a hand. "Oh, oh! There's two of them in my backyard!"

At the convenience.

The band were were lead to the backyard, where Nymble, Oshawott, Emboar, Hiro, Wasabi and Hayner freaked out over the sight of a Gyarados. Fred finished explaining what happened. "And then the Magikarp evolved right here!"

Gogo's eyes were widen in terror. "How the heck do you know about this?" Olette tried to keep everyone calm. "The same way we known from those comics and those films?" Fred admitted in his confusion. "I finished the last game we're going to have on the 3DS, the Switch is going to start it off with a return to Kanto!"

The band were completely lost and Xion finished reading about Gyarados and Vikavolt. She's especially worried about the sea serpent if something sets him off. "What ever all that means, we can't leave him here for long, this pond is way too small for him now." Olette cringed at what needs to be done. "So how are we going to capture him? He looks a lot tougher than Yeaster, Maschiff and Greavard put together!" The black haired girl felt an idea connecting into her brain. "But you guys said you've handled those three pretty well and we got a whole city of pokemon that could use a hand."

Ken gasped and brought out his phone. "So, you're next assignment is going to be this." He gave Olette his phone. "We can either get started on capturing this Gyarados right now, or you can look around a safe neighborhood while Xion and I keep this guy calm."

Gyarados huhed at the word and the black haired girl explained. "We're going to have to capture you and that's going to require a fight. It's nothing personal, our friends need to learn how to fight with us." The Gyarados flinched and gave a light growl. (Oh!) Ken had his eyes on the strange Vikavolt with the badge. "And I'm going to say, Vikavolt's a bigger hurdle for us right now."

The Oshawott sized up a pokemon that has experience with battles, the bug confessed proudly. (I definitely have more experience than you do. But you're not dumb.) The Oshawott respected that tone. (One of our squad leaders has a big team already and this kid) he directed at Ken. (Has a cool niche already. What will happen once we all become equals?)

Vikavolt closed his eyes calmly. (Then I won't have to worry so much about ya by then.) Ken felt a conversation was made and rephrased the order. "Hayner, Olette, Pence. We got a lot of time before Gyarados can come up with a reason to get angsty, come back here if you catch anyone that feels like they could be a help."

The trio gave the journeyman a salute and Hayner addressed him in respect. "Yes sir!" The trio took off with Emboar as Ken took a step back and had his partners by him. "And just in case."

He and the band notice Honey Lemon out of line and is leaning close to the curious Gyarados, petting him gently on the snout and wondering. "There has to be a explanation to how a carp can grow up to become a sea dragon in the blink of an eye." Baymax, showed an illustration of a carp swimming up a water fall. "I'm afraid there isn't a biological explanation for this growth spurt, but according to legend, when a koi leaps across the Dragons Gate, he will become a dragon that watches over the river." Vikavolt found that a good effort. (So he works hard to become that? Just like all Magikarps.) Gyarados snorted. (Or lucky.)

Out at a park with decorative stones.

The Twilight Town Trio were followed along the smell of an Emboar that picked up on something with his nose and was crouching on all fours like an actual boar in an attempt to pick up on a scent. Getting to a rock that has a strong smelling marking and stopping. (Oh yeah, someone's here!) He smelled something sandy and dry. (I remember this kind of smell too,)

He stood up as the trio heard the sound of something fighting behind a stone, Pence and Hayner hurried to the sound of a snake hissing and watched a burst of sand blow in. They covered their eyes to keep the sand out and heard a crackling and a squeak, they charged in as Olette heard a moody hiss from a nearby tree and turned. Facing a gray fur shrew that has a dark face akin to a gas mask, it had gleaming green eyes, buck teeth that have a purple tip and a tip of white hair that look like a paint brush. Olette used her borrowed phone to get a log on the mysterious critter. "Shroodle, the Toxic Mouse pokemon; poison/normal. Though usually a mellow Pokémon, it will sink its sharp, poison-soaked front teeth into any that anger it, causing paralysis in the object of its ire." She readied a quick ball and gave a twirl. "We got this one, Twirly!"

Pop out came a Hoppip that fluttered to battle as the Shroodle a disappointed sigh and leaped after the cotton weed, applying a poisonous bite and flipping behind her, leaving the grass type hurting and in a dark purple hue, the girl ordered fast. "One sleep powder and we have him!" The Hoppip leaped in a spin and scattered the green powder, sending the shrew into a slumber and giving Olette an opening to ready a nest ball. With a toss, the Shroodle was in containment and in three clicks, he was captured. She saw Hoppip wasn't looking too swell and went to get a spray medicine that was given, she cringed at the bite wound. "Eek. I got ya!"

Spray! The Hoppip lost that purple hue and gave a dance while giggling. (Yay!)

Over at the rock, the boys watched a more intense fight between two. One is a two foot wide, sand colored cobra with a brown sack at his neck, brown spots down his body, green eyes and eye lashes of sand. The other was a dark orange marmot with stubby cream colored forelimbs, snout and tail. The more distinguished part of the marmot was a set of yellow cheeks and black eyes. The marmot wiggled from the grasp of the cobra and made for the ground, burrowing as a means to escape. The cobra gave a pitiful whine and raised his tail. (Come on, this isn't any easier for me either!)

Pence picked a more pragmatic plan, brought out a poke ball and tossed it at a cobra that has a fight.

Fling!

Tap!

Bop! Bop! Bop!

Shake...shake...shake... click!

At the sync of the capture, the marmot leaped out of the ground and attempted to attack a foe that was no longer present. He landed face first at nothing and looked around frantically, finding Hayner making his approach. The rodent had a hot blooded scowl and stood on his hind legs, he readied his fists and sparkled a weak jolt of electricity from his cheeks. The boy readied a nest ball and called out. "Come on Maschiff, this ought to be easy!"

Pop!

Out came the canine that landed eagerly and give off an intimidating bark, surprising the marmot that disappeared in a flash and gave a mach punch, sending the dog into a spin. Maschiff shook his head from the rather light blow as the boy ordered. "Counter with bite and we have him!" The dog grunted and rushed for a fast bite, causing a yelp of pain and tossing him aside, Hayner readied a poke ball and gave a toss. "Go catch 'em!" Fling! Tap! The ball landed to the street side and gave three shakes before clicking. Capture was successful.

With that finished, the trio picked up their new recruits and let them out; a Shroodle that needed to be woken up by a full heal spray, a dazed and confused cobra. The marmot, despite the injury, was still eager to give it another round, Olette passed along the phone and let the boys look up the names. Silicobra and Pawmi. The type of ground and electric is rather impressive. Olette waved to the misfits at attention. "Welcome to the team guys. We got a ton of work to do and a lot of pokemon to catch by the end of the week."

The Shroodle was grouchy from being send into a slumber as the Silicobra let go of a predatory urge and looked up to give a whiny hiss. (The end of the week?) Pence recalled the date. "It's a Tuesday now, that doesn't sound like we have a lot of time, but this is a good start." He asked the others. "Should we keep looking, or can we take on the big guy?"

Emboar hmmed. (Are you sure to be asking that? Silicobra would get swamped when a water type looks at them and Pawmi needs time to evolve.) Hayner felt his brain piecing something together. "We might if we think about this." He checked the moves and abilities the three have.

Silicobra has minimize, bulldoze, poison tail and brutal swing. Along with the ability, sand spit; which applies a sand storm if the user is ever hit by an attack. Pawmi has nuzzle, dig, mach punch and thunder shock, the ability iron fist would empower any punching moves. Shroodle, however, had a more interesting spread of fury swipes, poison fang, switcheroo and parting shot. Olette gave the last two moves a read. "Switcheroo: the user switches held items with the target. Parting shot makes the user give a parting threat and switches out for another." The ability Shroodle had, gave the girl an idea. "Prankster! Status moves with parting shot, would take a higher priority, but would fail against dark types."

She checked Gyarados's log and saw it's main attribute was a strong physical attack, bringing her eyes to joy. "I think we have what we need to take on Gyarados, but we'll need a plan." The boys were eager for that as Olette ahemed. "Pawmi could help with some of the extra damage, but we'll need to power down that sheer strength that Gyarados has. Since two of Pence's pokemon would get knocked down-" The boy with the dog t-shirt clapped to an idea. "Someone should give you two that first chance, then Gyarados would be weak enough so that we can let him have it!"

They readied some medicine as the Silicobra was relieved he doesn't have to fight the infamous sea serpent. (Oh, ho, ho, ho. Thank goodness.) Hayner pulled a stick out of his bag and used it on the dirt to lay out the plan. "Alright, here's what we're going to do."

Poof!

At the backyard, Xion and the squad of Big Hero 6 watched Ken return from the shadows. The black haired girl sighed to her boyfriend. "You need to let us know before you use the use the ashes like that." Ken didn't mind and spoke fast. "Someone needed to watch over our friends juuuuust in case someone had any ideas that soon."

Gogo felt the return meant that the four are finished. "Now going back to the subject. It sounds like this whole thing is another mess that shouldn't have had to escalate. Are you sure it's a good idea to drag more people into this?"

Xion answered boldly. "Come on, this is their chance to do something with us! If they had some gear and some skills, they'd be fighting like the guys at home!" Wasabi had an agreement with both. "Yeah, but do they know where to even start?" Ken sighed and waved a hand. "Well, they're not going to be handed over some magical weapons from a video game. But I'm thinking Tinkatink's got an idea to share." Xion gasped to an idea and let out the tiny weaponsmith that is seeing herself in a high tech city and spaced out comically. "She's made her own tool and I've heard she's going to make it even stronger one day!"

Hiro was the first one to be impressed by the idea. "Well, you guys came to the right place." Ken raised his hands to the city and gave a spin. "This whole city is brimming with ideas. But they got to be the ones to make it happen while some of us give a bit of a guide." Honey Lemon understood. "Which is why they're going to be the ones to take care of this." She gestured to the Gyarados that felt the trial was worth his time and rather substantial amounts of patience. Vikavolt grunted to that. (And I'm going to be here, just in case.)

At the end of the agreement, the Twilight Town Trio returned, with Emboar looking anxious for a hearty fight and faces of confidence. Fred squeed. "It's gonna start!" Gogo, Vikavolt and the Emboar had a common spark about that comment and escorted Fred to the side, encouraging the audience to follow. Hayner reported proudly. "We found some pokemon close by and we got a plan to take on this big fish!"

He brought out a poke ball as Olette had a nest ball prepared and Pence a dusk ball. Gyarados raised a whisker as Ken pretended he never watched. "We're not stopping you." He, Oshawott and Cyclizar kept the furthest back as Xion cheered with her Tinkatink. "Good luck guys!"

With the bystanders keeping watch, the trio approached the Gyarados rose his head up bared his fangs, daring them to take on that challenge. The three sent out their chosen, a nervous Maschiff, an mellow if annoyed Shroodle and an energetic Greavard. The dark type dog gave an intimidating bark that a actually surprised the sea serpent that took it as an accepted challenge. Gyarados closed his mouth, inhaled with his nostrils and let loose an intimidating roar that could be heard from across the city, Maschiff, Shroodle and Greavarad felt their moral at a low and Olette ordered fast. "Shroodle, give this sea food special a parting shot! Twirly will handle the rest!"

The poison mouse gave some spite and turned for a full retreat, back into the nest ball. Hayner felt Maschiff did his part and called him back. "Come back too!" The dog groaned as he was switched out. The duo sent out a Hoppip that twirled ignorantly and a rodent that earned attention from the atrocious kaiju, an electrical marmot that didn't have much fear. The Gyarados let loose a jet of water and rushed at the Pawmi as a mighty waterfall. Pence smirked. "Ally switch with Pawmi and we got our opening!"

The ghostly pup caused a sudden switch and took a blow that was still intense, knocking the dog out of the way and following with a swift bite, fling the ghost over to the audience. Hayner cringed. "Pawmi, give Gyarados a nuzzle!" Olette followed. "Twirly, go for a strength sap and we have him!"

The Pawmi crackled and gave a fast tackle that made the serpent yelp, he twitched in paralysis as the Hoppip floated to his head and gave a tap, draining away his strength. Xion hurried to catch the Greavard and felt him pass out, delivering ill news. "Greavard's been knocked out! Don't give up Pence, you got Gyarados on the hook!"

The boy cringed and sighed before going for a nest ball and sending out his trusty Magby. "Come on Heater, we're this close!" The fire type landed and found himself face to face with the Gyarados that was paralyzed and looked exhausted, it caused a fast beat in the heart as Pawmi delivered a quick thunder shock, Olette ordered. "Follow with acrobatics and that final blow is ours!"

The Hoppip flew at the Gyarados and dealt insignificant damage as Pence punched his hand. "Electric moves are our best chance, take Gyarados down with thunder punch!" The live coal grunted, crackled a fist and sprinted after the serpent, delivering a blow that sent him rolling to the side, he struggled to move and left an opening. Olette took out a net ball and shined it to the air. "Alright, I think we have him!" Fling! "Go, net ball!"

Tap! The super heroes had the fortune of watching a giant like Gyarados, be brought into the confines of a small ball that bounced to the ground and gave three shakes while upside down. Each one getting more and more tense before clicking shut.

With that, the looming issue of the Gyarados was resolved, Gogo was in so much of a shock that she'd eat her words. Wasabi had a strange disappointment that the terrifying kaiju was captured just like that. "Wait, that was it?"

Fred leaped in celebration. "Awesome! That was all it took for Gyarados to fight with us, now!" Olette picked the ball up and let the Gyarados out, Ken and Xion banded together to apply a strong heal for the fish and the Greavard. The one armed boy was quite impressed and looked up to a Gyarados that was recovering from his defeat. "That went even better than I thought it was going to go. Nice work guys."

Vikavolt agreed with that. (Yeah, we were lucky this guy was calm enough to wait for that fight.) Xion placed the wiggly Greavard down and let him back to his trainer as Hayner and Olette let the Maschiff and Shroodle out as a way to let them know victory was achieved. The two pokemon realized the fight was over and the Gyarados curled up to ask. (Now what?)

Twirling was twirling more blissfully than usual and gave a sigh; she glowed, become larger and flattening her ears while her leaves bloomed into a flower. Pew! "Skiiiip!"

Twirly's form changed to a familiar shape she was before, only green with folded down ears and a yellow flower propelling her. The super heroes were quite impressed by the evolution as Hiro realized. "So these guys do that when they get stronger?"

Xion nodded. "That's what I heard." Ken agreed with that and cleared his throat to try and sound professional, he addressed the Twilit Trio. "Looks like you accomplished another mission. Well done!" The three were honored and Ollete blushed while her Skipbloom perched to her head and showed orange eyes. "What can we say? When our heart feels that call, we follow it and get things done." She hurried to the Gyarados and petted him on his side. "Now, you're way too big for us to handle something this delicate. But this ball ought to give you the space you need. We'll let you out when we find a good place to do it in."

The Gyarados grunted while Fred waved his hand high to an idea. "Oh, oh! I know how me and Gyarados can fight big!" He cheered. "Kaiju fight!" Gyarados hmmed and thought about it as Emboar thought with him. (Maybe if that can teach you how to handle that anger, it could work.) Vikavolt hmmed in doubt. (I don't know, Gyarados is fine so far because he didn't have a reason to be angry yet.)

Hiro gasped to an idea in mind. "If we can train him to be less destructive, he could give better results. Ken, do you have any ideas for where we can start?" Ken nodded. "Now that we can hide him better, a place that's deep enough into the water would be an option for us to start. So now we can move on to our next problem." He pressed his hands together. "We're going to be here a while and I think some people will freak out if they see these guys. Which means borrowing your garage isn't going to work. We need a place to fit a camp in by the end of the day. Do you got some ideas?"

Hiro tried to think about what could be done as Baymax received urgent news to show. "We interrupt this program to bring breaking news." The camera showed a place pulsating in darkness and releasing an outbreak of heartless, in a place rather close to Hiro's neighborhood. Ken and Xion recognize the pulsation as something identical to the totems. Ken and Oshawott had Cyclizar hurry by the side and got on bare back while Xion and Tinaktink hopped on from the back. Hiro changed his order fast and got on Baymax's back. "Guys, we need to move!"

Vikavolt recalled what is around that spot, sparkled in terror and flew off to that direction with the speed of a bolt as Emboar followed the trial behind the fast sprinting Cyclizar.

Over at an alley way by a particular Cafe.

A walking trash bag, a rolling pokeball and a gang of metal knife boys were running for their lives from a street gone mad. Dark spike pillars emerged from under, blocking the escape of one particular creature. A black bull with three tails that were tied together like a propeller, the bull's horns resemble something of faucets and has a mane with blue tear drops down the neckline. The bull smashed his head against the pillar to no avail and turned to face a Corrupter that was readying something. The bull gave a furious moo and used his horns to fire jets of water, propelling himself for an aqua jet tackle and shoving the Corrupter a few feet away. The Heartless kept a stance and used the close distance to ready a dark glowing claw, hurling the bull a ways and causing dark chains to wrap around his torso. The bull got up and readied for another attack as the chains closed in tight, radiated a dark horned lock and zapped the bull out of his mind.

BZZZ! "Keep your hands off of him!" ZAP!

The Corrupter was blasted a ways by the sudden arrival of Vikavolt, who followed his bolt with a sharp bug buzz, the Corrupter sank into the ground and Vikavolt realize what it was about to do. He zipped upward to the sky to avoid a chain ensnare and was slow in maneuvering, in a sudden, a large man in a black trench coat, a hat and a gargantuan set of hands punched through a pillar and let in a trio of strangers in matching wears. Looking really awkward as a particular short one leaped in between the taller ones and dashed after the Corrupter, giving it a fake out clap before spinning around in a maneuver. "Huyah!"

The Tauros was thrashing in an attempt to keep control and pleaded. "Help me, this thing is zapping into my-" Pulse. "MUUUAAAAH!"

He slammed into the two that took to the defense, the trench coat on the left parried with a well timed, stretchy kick while the trench coat on the right was seeing chains shoot after him and his cohort, he rushed in front of them and delivered fast punches with the aid of the wide one. "This thing isn't looking for a fair fight either, Sensei!"

The Sensei grunted and let loose a flurry of punches as he heard the sound of a train coming his way. LEAP! Something jumped above as a heat of hope, an Emboar that was making a somersault to the Totem and resembling a canon ball, along side it is a Cyclizar that had a band leap off. Emboar smashed into the Totem while Xion and Tinkatink banded together to collide and shatter it on the second attack. Cyclizar clashed a breaking swipe against the heartless as Ken aimed Nightsky for a slash. "Oshawott, air slash!" He and his partner slashed as one, shoving the monster into the alley way with a vacuum slash.

Xion turned to the Tauros that gave the two strangers a shove and asked. "Go take out that Heartless, Tinker and I will help Tauros break those chains!" She bull rushed the bull and sent him flying to the street, with Tinkatink following with a fairy wind, the Bull burst a black aura and tried to tackle the girl that rolled side ways and used a burst of light to break apart the chains. The wide trench coat stepped to the side with the girl and rushed at the lock, giving a punch as fast as a bullet.

The Corrupter was in a corner by a fast moving Ken that had his helmet on and was giving a cold stare, the boy and Oshawott noticed Baymax zipping over to let Hiro jump off and give the heartless a punch into the back of the skull. The robot flew back to assist with the Tauros as the Corrupter sank into the shadows, Ken tapped Night Sky at the dark ground and caused it to radiate in stars.

BURST!

The explosion sent the heartless flying to the air and the boy aimed his hilt, causing the key chain to fire out like a harpoon and make it's mark into the monster. Ken turned to give a yank and sent the Heartless flying at him, the boy spun his blade in style, had it's edge backwards and gave a thrust, impaling the heartless with no effort and causing Nightsky to give a gleam of stars. With the Heartless dispersed, he ordered. "Cyclizar, keep Tauros from getting away, Oshawott, go help with the chain!"

The Otter was on it and Cyclizar picked him up for a fast sprint. The lizard gave the otter a toss and rushed where the crazed bull tried to flee to, using a breaking swipe to make him spin while the short trench coat gave intercepted and flipped upside down to give a triple kick to the chains. Xion sent out Volty and ordered. "Stop Tauros with a thunder wave and I'll have this!"

The Voltorb was let out, saw the evil that was inflicted on the bull and chimed proudly. (By the Almighty!) Crackle! The bull was stiffen in paralysis as Oshawott gave a fast air slash and closed in with his shell, making it envelop in water and slashing a chain loose. The Tauros had a better urge fighting back against the corruption, letting Baymax grapple him in a hold and give Xion an opening to spark in light and aim her blade. Grey wings sprouted from her back as her heart felt power rushed out of her blade and into the lock, causing the dark binding to shatter in an instant. Tauros felt weak in the legs, yet relieved that the pain was gone, he nearly passed out and fell to his knees. (T...thank you.)

Oshawott gave a thumbs up and perked in energy. Giving off a glow and began to grow bigger, becoming less chubby while his legs became more define, his shell split into two and his whiskers grew out, all the while the fur on his head straighten upward. Pew! The Otter felt that urge and looked to himself in surprised. (Woah!) He focused back on what he intended to say. (Don't mention it dude.)

Baymax dispense a soothing, medical mist and calmed the Tauros down. "There, there." The band of fighters stepped out from the alley way and Hiro asked. "Baymax, what's the status on that Tauros? Because that looked like that lock hurt!" Baymax gave a fast analysis. "I do not detected any serious injuries, save for some mental trauma from this dark phenomenon."

Emboar gave a slow growl of anger and looked over to the strangers in trench coats. (We wouldn't have found that opening if you guys didn't show up to make the way. But why? Who are you?) The short trench coat wearer gave a few strange steps forward. "Hit!" (We just saw trouble in this town.) The wide coat grunted. (It be honor less to let that bring harm to the locals.) The humans and the robot stood in surprise at the words as the other two realized something and called out. (Top! Sensei!) (They're going to be on to us!) The Sensei realized that and gave a bit of a jump.

"OOF!"

He and his cohort made a run for it with the others while Xion readied a net ball and pet the Tauros. "We'll worry about them later; Tauros, we need you to be in this ball for a while. We'll try to let you out soon."

The bull cringed and closed his eyes pitifully, with the memories of nearly being ran over and nearly running into people in an attempt to escape danger, he tried to stand up for a kick and felt his legs failing. (Just get this over with already, it's been one thing after another!)

Xion gave the bull a tap and captured him fast as Ken noticed Oshawott evolving. Pew! In the small one's place is a similar looking otter, his upper body was a light blue and his legs were covered with a dark blue fur. To his right hip was a scallop, identical to the one he used as a weapon. To the other was an identical one he could use for a cross slash. "Hey Oshawott, I think you evolved into-" He snapped his fingers to remember a name. "a...Dewott! Hmm... not bad, hard to fit on a shoulder, but not bad." Xion closed her right eye, picked up the Tauros's ball and pleaded. "Ken, we almost had an outbreak and Tauros got hurt pretty badly. We need to focus."

The one armed boy realized that was something Hiro and the others had little knowledge of beyond the bare minimum. "Yeah... the bigger reason why we had to be here." The rest of the band arrived to see an aftermath of dark forces disappearing and a scuffle that came and pass.

The Dewott had an awkward look of concern as Hiro asked. "Guys, that thing was attacking way too close to Aunt Cass's place and the only thing we know for certain, is that it's a heartless. What was that thing doing to the...Tauros?" He looked awkwardly to ask if he had the name right, Ken dismissed his blade and answered. "It's probably a better idea if we talk about this in somewhere more private. Before the news comes after us?"

Somewhere in a secret lair.

A particular band of villains were observing what transpired from a camera laid out by a hidden drone. The center most was a man in a black vest with a dark gray undershirt, his head was saved on the sides and the top was a combed set of black hair that had red stripes. He was quietly observing while a human shape blob of pink goo that had green was watching on with a strange contact, Pete. The Dark Bringer with a cache of capsules was rather speechless at the fast pace destruction. "As you can see, Obake, this band of pipsqueaks aren't the same ones I deal with."

The blob confessed to his cohort. "But you got to admit, those kids know how to act fast!" That much, Obake agreed with. "Hiro's friends have returned right on schedule." He stood up to address the fat figure with a questionable deal. "They've dealt with this infestation you've talked about. Now, what do you suppose has changed with the additions of the pets they've brought along?"

Pete showed the carts worth of capture devices. "I'd reckon what ever plan you had cooking's spilled over, even when some competition plunged it all into a little war zone. These critters are going to make that all go up in smoke again if we don't get ahead of their game." He brought out a great ball, due to the color and presented it to the super villain, while bringing out a note. "Now, these ought to do the trick if we can get them in there."

Obake took the device, pressed a button and watched it pop open, showing screens that would make for a simulation of a pokemon's environment, providing it captured them. He hmmed, put the ball to the side of the desk and focused on typing. "Or we can go a bit further." He had a camera focus on a gummi phone that Olette was returning to Ken.

Click!

He quickly hacked into some data, containing logs and more importantly, the Pokedex. With logs on the pokemon known, and the pokemon that were captured by the squad. From Oshawott, all the way to Gyarados." He focused on the Atrocious Pokemon and looked into the specifics. The blob whistled. "Woah! Do those balls help the kiddies hide those guys from or something?" Pete nodded and tapped the side of his noggin. "That's how I see it and I'm thinking I know where this is going." Obake smirked with a plan and got to work on a few programs. "It shouldn't be anything Hiro won't figure out and if not, then this will solve our problem shortly."
