Prologue
[In the Great Sea, a massive G.U.N battleship, roughly 40 feet in length, can be seen...but something is following it!]

Soldier 1: [Scanning the water]

''[He doesn't see the massive, dark shape swimming towards the rear of the battleship. Suddenly, the ship lurches!]'' thumb|300px|right

Soldier 1: Whoa!!

[The other soldiers are panicking, as the water is calm...what could have caused the lurch?]

{SFX: *creak*}

''[The boat lurches again. At a distance...VS Soldiers are watching]''

Random Energy Hawk: "Well, they're f***ed."

Random Bolt Eagle: "Indeed."

''[Back at the ship...something huge suddenly leaps upon it in a burst of water! The soldiers scream in terror!]''

???: RROOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR!!

[A comical small box views white-eyed VS Soldiers.]

VS Soldiers: "WTF?!"

[The massive beast brings down the ship with its force.]

VS Bolt Eagle: " 'kay we're outta here."

They shift the Thresher's HoverPads into Ultra, making them fly away from the water. The ship sinks beneath the waves, and the monster disappears from view...

Part 1
Later, the news of the G.U.N battleship being downed by an unknown leviathan hits televisions everywhere. The TV blares in the small coffee shop as Kyle watches, downing about three shots of tea between each sentence. "Huh... Big-ass fish monster... Meh. G.U.N. idiots had it coming anyway." He threw his head back, drinking yet another shot and put the empty glass back down, sighing contentedly and apparently unaware that his eyes were twitching.

"G.U.N is debating whether or not to send in reinforcements to try and figure out exactly what happened out in the Northern Great Sea," the reporter continued.

A few people looked briefly at the television facing out the window, which also had the news on, as they passed by, but then continued on their way, apparently not too interested.

A black cat with yellow markings wearing a long robe began to pass by the television set, but she stopped to see what was going on. Her cloak fluttered in the wind as she watched the chaos on the screen, fascinated by the destruction and mildly pleased. She smirked, amused, and removed her hood to reveal midnight blue, long hair and red eyes. "This is the sort of chaos I enjoy seeing." she muttered to herself, the tone in her voice revealing herself as Ursula the Cat.

"Really? I find it disheartening." A chocolate-brown wolf next to her simply shrugged. "Tiamat isn't normally that aggressive." * * * Meanwhile, at Duncan Hills Coffee Shop, The Random Rangers were watching one of the little televisions. It was turned on to the news, showing the same thing as many other screens at the time.

"Sucks to be them," Linebeck said, smirking. "I hope all those assholes got eaten."

"Statyx is a G.U.N agent, you know," said Shanoa, staring reproachfully at the ferret.

"Yeah, one of the few good agents."

He took a sip of his coffee. Rosa was nibbling on a cheese croissant.

"Even though he can be an arsewad sometimes," he continued. * * * Meanwhile with J and Johnny, the two are doing some tweaks with Johnny's P10-XR for him to perform practice runs.

"Is it good, buddy?" Johnny asks J.

"Yes." J replies. "Although I have never seen your..." he pauses, thinking momentarily, "P10-XR, at least that's how you call it, considering as how it isn't a living vehicle than my retired vehicles, like the Desert Hawk. Nice car, Johnny." J smiles.

"Hehe thanks! I have a lot and use them to dominate the races, that's for sure." Johnny smiles with determination.

"Alright, you'll be doing some practice runs around a large, vacant parking lot as your very own test track." J reminds Johnny. "Now then. Starting the countdown in 3... 2... 1... GO!"

Johnny, in his P10-XR, races off from the starting line at the parking lot as he begins to slide through corners with precision, thus impressing J as he races around the parking lot to get the record time. * * * What remained of the wrecked battleship was floating upon the Great Sea, bobbing slightly in the now still waters. There was a single lifeboat as well, with the remaining few soldiers huddled in it. A drowned corpse occasionally floated by; the survivors pulled each one close to the boat to try and identify it.

"God dammit," one of them muttered, pulling the upper half of a bisected body onto the boat with help from the others. "McCalligan, Aaldenburg, Dabney...all gone thanks to that damned monster."

After recording the identity of the bisected corpse, it was pushed back into the sea; there was no point in keeping any of the fallen.

"Where the hell is that chopper?! I called in two hours ago!" * * * Back at Duncan Hills Coffee Shop, the news was still on.

"Authorities reported spotting a G.U.N chopper heading towards the Northern Great Sea. It seems that rescue operations are finally under way."

"Maybe the thing'll gobble up the helicopter too," Linebeck continued, grinning as he pictured the scenario.

"Funnily enough, I don't doubt that it could, considering it took down an entire battleship by itself," Ryu mumbled to herself. She had been deep in thought since the news had broadcast the Great Sea disaster. A monster living in the Great Sea...she could've sworn she read something about that a long time ago; reading was one of her favorite past-times, after all. * * * Back at the parking lot, Johnny stops next to J as he opens the door to look at him. "Hey, I'm a bit hungry at the moment. Is it okay if we drive to the café?" Johnny asks J, "Sure thing, I guess even a hardcore racer like you needs to grab a bite or two. I'll come with you if you like" J replies with a chuckle. "Eh, if it's okay with ya." J gets inside Johnny's P10-XR on the passenger side as Johnny speeds off from the parking lot as he races through the streets of Mobius to find a café nearby.

As his car goes unpredictably fast, he slams on the brakes as the car skids to a stop next to the curb close to the Duncan Hills Coffee Shop. J was clutching onto the seatbelt after the car skidded to a halt. "Hehe, that car is surely fast. Too fast, that is." J chuckled nervously to Johnny. "Ah don't worry about it, I'm just a big show-off, that's all. Anyway, I'll grab a bite to eat and give ya one on the go, 'kay?" Johnny asks J as he exits the car. "Sure thing. I'll wait inside."

Johnny enters the Coffee Shop, unaware of the Random Rangers' presence as he sits on a stool. "'Ey you, can I have a bagel to eat, and another one on the go?" The clerk nods as he walks off to prepare the bagel for Johnny.

The loud screech of the P10-XR's tires as it skid to a halt in front of the coffee shop had the Rangers grimacing and holding their ears, with Kotuu growling in frustration.

"Gah....damn those f***ing hotrods of Johnny's!" he snarled, his claws pulling on his still-ringing ears.

"He must not've seen us," said Albus.

As Johnny noms the bagel he received from the chef, he notices the Random Rangers and waves hi to them as he chews, although he is unable to speak, knowing that he would choke while eating his bagel.

The Rangers wave back, save for Kotuu, who growls irritably, points at the P10-XR, and then points at his ears, to say "Your car is too god-damned loud".

Johnny looks at his P10-XR from the window and chuckles nervously, "Yeah, most of my cars sound like that, since they're built for speed. Sorry buddy." Johnny replies Kotuumath as he stuffs the last piece of bagel into his mouth.

Ryu nudged Kotuu a bit as the halfbreed snorted.

"So, what's up, Johnny?" said Ryu.

Johnny swallows his last piece of his bagel, "Not much, just happened to cruise along the streets with my ride, no biggie, Ryushu. Yous?"

"Nothing much, really. A G.U.N battleship on the Northern Great Sea got destroyed by some monster."

"I hope they all died," Linebeck said bitterly.

"Damn. That must suck." said Johnny.

"Hehe, yeah, for them! Hehehe-ow!" he yelped as Shanoa slapped the back of his head.

"Heh. Anyway, it don't surprise me, I mean, considering as how I've seen creepy mosters before, so it ain't a biggie if you ask me." said Johnny. "It still sounded weird, tho."

"It took down a battleship by itself," Ryu continued, looking serious.

"whatever it was, it had to be huge. And powerful."

"Wow. Well, hopefully, someone can find it and take it down." Johnny commented to Ryushu. He was given a bagel on the go by a clerk as he heads back to the kitchen. "Oh, sweet! Thanks!" Johnny said as the clerk waved at him before heading back.

"I hope they don't."

"Shut up, Beck."

J exits Johnny's P10-XR before arriving at the café, "Hey Johnny? Sorry if I had to come inside, just a bit hungry, that is all." J said with a chuckle before he catches the bag containing a bagel inside that was thrown from Johnny. "Today's your lucky day, J." Johnny said with a thumbs up to J. "Haha thanks, Johnny." J said as he starts to eat the bagel. "Anytime, pal." Johnny replies.

Albus leaned back with his hands behind his head.

"Think this'll be the last we hear about some sea monster?"

"Eh, who knows, Albus." Johnny replies.

"Knowing G.U.N, they'd just keep sending fleet after fleet in until they find and capture whatever it is that attacked them earlier," said Linebeck. He grinned as he suddenly had an idea.

"We should go find the creature ourselves!"

"Hmm... cool." Johnny said to Linebeck. "We could check and see what it looks like."

J whispers to Johnny, "Isn't that a bit risky, Johnny?"

Johnny shakes his head, implying that it's not too risky as long as they stick together.

"Awwwww yeah! Let's go!"

He jumped out of his chair excitedly.

"C'mon, J! Let's go with them!" Johnny gets up from his chair as J follows him, "Oh, and Kotuu," Johnny takes off his own wireless headphones and tosses it to Kotuumath, "you might need it, buddy." Johnny said to Kotuumath as he and J exits the café and heads inside Johnny's P10-XR supercar.

"Uhh, thanks," he said as he put them on.

Linebeck stared at the supercar.

"I hope you don't mind leaving that at the pier," he said.

"Hehe, don't worry, I will, buddy. I suggest you cover your ears though." Johnny tells Linebeck as he prepares to start up his P10-XR.

"Okay, just make sure you go to the pier closest to Station Square," said Linebeck as the other Rangers pile awkwardly into the backseat on the P10-XR.

"We're gonna need my boat."

"Alright." Johnny fires up the P10-XR as the car emits a roar-like noise from its engine, before shifting its transmission gear and lowers its e-brake, "Here we go!" Johnny speeds off on the road as he speeds to the pier in Station Square.

"Whoohoo!"

"Adventure!"

"W00T!"

"Swanky!"

"WHAT?! I CAN'T HEAR YOU GUYS!!" * * * The P10-XR finally arrived at Station Square's pier, as it screeches to a stop. Johnny and J opens the car doors for The Random Rangers to exit the car, "Wow... I've never felt that much speed since my retirement, Johnny." J said with a chuckle.

"Haha, are you kidding me, J? It was AWESOME! Did you Rangers enjoyed the ride?" Johnny asks them with a determined smile on his face.

The Rangers spilled out of the back seat in a heap, looking exhilarated. Except for Linebeck, who didn't seem overly impressed.

"Doesn't beat speeding over the open ocean for me," he said as he got up.

"Now then..."

Pulling a pair of keys from his coat pocket, he jogged over to one of the garages where his boat was kept. Jumping into the shallow water below, he waded over to the garage door

"There's not much room, though, so Ryu, you might wanna get out one of your Water Pokemon, whichever one's the fastest you have with you."

"Good idea," said Ryu as she pulled out a Pokeball. Tossing it, the Pokeball opened, and in a flash of red light, it revealed a Blastoise.

"Blaaaastoise!!"

"I'm pretty sure two people would be able to ride on Sarvai's back," Ryu continued, patting the Pokemon's tough shell.

Part 2
As Johnny and J enters the boat, he gets his own headphones back from Kotuumath, his hearing unharmed by the P10-XR's loud engine, as he puts his headphones back onto his head. "Hehe, I've never been on a boat trip in, I dunno... months, I think." Johnny chuckled.

The Blastoise waddled into the shallow water next to Linebeck's boat. Albus eyed the large Pokemon nervously.

"I think I'll be less likely to fall off and drown on the boat," he mumbled as he boarded said vehicle, with Shanoa following him. The Blastoise floated prone on her front so Ryu and Kotuumath could climb atop her shell.

"Okay guys, are we ready?" Linebeck asked. Rosa was perched on his shoulder like a furry pink parrot.

"Yeah! Let's go!"

Both Johnny and J nod as the boat sets sail, as Johnny turns to see his parked P10-XR remaining at the lot while the boat is sailed along the river along with Sarvai. Linebeck kept his boat at a stable speed until he passed the open floodgate, where he then sped into the ocean.

"WHOOOOOO!!"

Astonishingly, Sarvai kept up with relative ease.

J hands onto the side of the boat, "I thought we're going on an adventure?"

Johnny replies to J, "A little action can't hurt, right?! It's just getting more awesome!"

"S'what I'm talking about, Johnny! WOO!"

The ferret seemed very exhilarated to be speeding over the water.

"Besides, we'll get to where we're going faster this way!"

"Hell yeah!" Johnny hollered as he too is very exhilarated by Linebeck speeding over the water.

They were the only ones on the water that day.

"Damn Ryu, how much Carbos have you been feeding Sarvai?!" the ferret called out over the roar of the engine.

"She's like a Golduck!"

Ryu just laughed; she and everyone else was in good spirits.

"She's in top shape, that's for sure!" she replied.

As the boat keeps up the pace, both Johnny and J are still having fun, despite J's slight worriness, Johnny's headphones inadverdently slips off from his head from the speed of Linebeck's boat as it lands onto the river.

"This is more fun than driving my awesome car!" Johnny hollered, unaware of his headphones gone missing. Behind the group, a fox seemed to form out of the water, his hands grasping the headphones before he liquefied and vanished once again. Nobody noticed him disappear.

"Are we there yet, guys?" J asked, trying to not get seasick.

"Uhh..."

The ferret hadn't planned on a specific location; he was just going to drive around until something showed up. He slowed the boat to a stop, Sarvai slowing down as well, until both vehicle and Pokemon were floating idly in the ocean.

"Well...I...really didn't have a set plan for that..."

"Really? Weird..." Johnny replies to Linebeck.

".....why is that weird...?"

"You said that we were going to find the creature for ourselves, right?" Johnny asks Linebeck.

"Yeeeaaaah...I was just gonna drive around until it showed up, but..."

Suddenly, a massive G.U.N chopper could be seen flying towards the group. It stopped within 7 feet of them, hovering in mid-air, its whirling blades churning up the water below. A voice boomed out at them.

"You are in a designated disaster zone! Please leave immediately!"

Linebeck stood up, glaring at the chopper.

"You don't own this ocean! Nobody does!" he yelled over the roar of the whirling copter blades.

"Leave immediately, or we will be forced to detain you for disobeying a direct order!"

"Dude, let's just get out of here," Albus muttered to the ferret.

Johnny and J nods at Albus. J still holds on from not getting seasick, "Try and hold onto your lunch for a bit, 'kay?" Johnny asks J, who nods to him. Linebeck ignored Albus and continued to berate whoever it was sitting inside the helicopter.

"You ain't got no warrant, bro! You can't do squat!" he yelled, hands akimbo.

"So why don't you go fly back to your little fortress and let my friends and I enjoy a nice Wednesday ride on the ocean?"

As Linebeck argued with the helicopter pilot, J can be seen still trying to not get seasick, to no avail, as he rushes to the side of the boat and throws up. "Well, there goes his lunch" Johnny said as he saw J run off before watching both Linebeck and the G.U.N. helicopter.

The ferret grimaces upon hearing J vomit.

"Uhhhhh....."

"Yeeeah, I shouldn't have gave him a bagel, but hey, you can't blame to not give food to a hungry person, y'know?" Johnny comments as he too grimaces upon J vomiting from the side of the boat.

"We're giving you one last chance; leave the area immediately, or you will be arrested."

"Mmm...nah. I don't think so, buddy!"

Part 3
The people of Station Square were not the only ones aware of the fiasco on the Northern Great Sea. A large silhouette was sitting in a chair, contrasted by the glow of numerous computer monitors, some of them showing a replay of the broadcast.

"Looks like G.U.N bit off more than they could chew, hehehe," the figure sneered to himself, obviously amused by their misfortune.

"An entire battleship, though? Couldn't have been Chaos; he's still locked away in the Master Emerald. Hmm..."

With a few precise keystrokes, all available data on the Northern Great Sea and its inhabitants was brought up for the figure to ponder over. He quickly scanned through all irrelevant information until he finally found what he was looking for.

"Ah-ha! I think I may have found the culprit!"

The largest screen in the center showed a 3D model of a monstrous sea dragon, aquatic blue-green and pale yellow in color, adorned with fins of all shapes and sizes.

"With a beast that powerful under my command, wiping out the opposition will be a breeze! But I don't want a fiasco to happen again, like what happened with Chaos. I'll need to be careful about this."

Part 4
Just outside of Station Square, a female Mobian Lopunny, accompanied by what appears to be a female Mobian Lucario, seem to be wandering around as if they where searching for something.

The Lopunny took a look at the gem in her hand. "Are you sure it's here?" she asked the Lucario.

"Yep," said the Lucario, "After hearing about those recent abnormalities, it has to be."

The Lopunny turned her attention to the Lucario, and notices the gem around her neck. "You better sit this one out, you haven't got much magic left".

The Lucario looked at her gem. "I guess your right." She said.

A small white rabbit-like creature leaps onto the Lopunny's shoulder. "It's alright, Angela," said the creature. "You can still use your regular pokemon attacks without draining your magic."

A grey cat with unusually long ears walks past them looking miles away yet still somewhat aware of his surroundings.

* * * Meanwhile with the Trolls, they are walking down the pier to try and find a boat for use.

"All right, trolls, listen up. News came out and they mentioned something abou--" Toxic is immediately interrupted by Liam. "A shark? An octopus? A barracuda? A lo--" Liam's speech is interrupted when Toxic places his hand onto his mouth, "Shut it, n00b. As I was saying, news came out and they mentioned something about a giant monster lurking around in the lake. If that's true, we'll either kill it or capture it and we'll return to the Moon Base and have Rageik take a look at it and determine what it is." The Trolls cheer, save for Nuts and Bolts, as Bolts are shown to be running around in fear.

"No, I refuse to be pulled by gravity! Leave me be, skies!" Bolts exclaims while running around screaming in fear for no reason.

"Ugh, Nuts, you partner is a GOD-F***ING-D**N WASTE OF TIME! LEAVE HIM FOR ONCE!" Tantrum yells at Nuts as Nuts shake his head. "No way! Bolts is my partner! I can't just leave him unsupervised!" Nuts replies to Tantrum, as Tantrum is about to blow his steam before intervened by Toxic. "Let's just leave him and get to the lake, Tantrum."

Tantrum, having seen Toxic intervening him, calms down and briefly glares at both nuts and Bolts before turning around. "Fine..." Tantrum resumes heading to the pier with the other trolls as Toxic looks on to both Nuts and Bults. "Why did I even recruit those two useless Trolls anyway..?" Toxic thought as he turns to see a large boat. Toxic chuckles a bit, "Hehe.. this boat is big enough for most of us, minus Nuts and Bolts..." Toxic turns to the Trolls after finding a big boat. "Alright, listen up! I found us a boat that can hold the lot of us, but Nuts and Bolts are ineligible to proceed with the mission. Now, are we ready to proceed?"

The Trolls cheer, "Hell yeah, let's do this!" Tantrum said; "If it's worth the risk, then I'm in." Nightshade replies in a calming manner.

They arrive onto the boat as Toxic starts it up and drives off to the source of the lake, leaving Nuts and Bolts behind.

* * * Back on the sea, a dark shape grows beneath the boat and the helicopter. The G.U.N soldier quickly pulls out his rifle and points at the dark shape.

"Dammit...I think it's back!"

"What's b-"

With a horrific roar, a great blur of green-blue scales erupts from the water, the waves it created knocking both the boat, Sarvai and the passengers away.

"F***!!"

The creature's jaws close around the bottom of the chopper as the terrified soldier leaps for his life, abandoning his weapon. He lands in the water near the boat, the impact having knocked him unconscious. The ferret's dislike for Overlanders (those affiliated with G.U.N in particular) seems to vanish as instinct takes over, and he and Albus pull the unconscious soldier aboard. The other two soldiers who were on the helicopter have already perished (or were eaten) as the remains of the vehicle crash into the sea.

"What the hell is that...?!" Ryu cried.

"Huh?!" Johnny sees Linebeck and Albus vanish. "Where did Linebeck and Albus go?!" He then shouts out for both of their names, "Albus! Linebeck! Where are you?!"

"Uhh, John? We're still here," said Albus.

"?!" Johnny turns to see Albus. "Oh thank goodness you're still here... What about Linebeck and Kotuumath?" Johnny asks Albus.

"We're all still here, thank goodness," said Albus.

"Yeah, no one got knocked overboard. But now we KINDA GOT A BIG PROBLEM-"

"RROOOOOOAAAAAAARRR!!"

"GET US OUTTA HERE MAN!!"

"Oh S**T!" Johnny runs to the driver's seat of the boat for him to commandeer, "Hold on guys, I'm hauling @$$!" he pushes the throttle at max as he steers the boat away from the giant monster. J desperately clings onto the boat as it speeds up. "Was that a lake monster after us?!" J asks as he still holds on.

The monster immediately begins to chase after them, and it's fast. It looks like a monstrous sea-dragon. Sarvai's just barely managing to keep up with the boat.

"It's gaining on us!" Shanoa yelled.

"We gotta hold it off somehow!"

She starts to charge up an Ignis shot as Albus pulls out Agartha. Both fire at the creature at the same time. The bullets only bounce off it's chest, but the fireball catches it in the face, causing it to roar in anger and pain. It dives below the water.

Hearing the creature roar in pain, Johnny looks back to Shamoa and Albus, "What's the status, guys? Is that creepy lake monster gone?"

"I think so..."

As the boat continued to speed away, a dark shape continued to pursue them.

"S***! I think it's gonna try and knock us out of the water!"

Looking back, Johnny can see a dark shape pursuing thing. "Oh f**k... I'd ask J to get behind the wheel, but he's too seasick.." Johnny thought before turning to Ryushu, "Ryushu, I need you to take the wheel, I'll try and hold the dark thing off! I'd ask J, but he's still recovering from his seasickness." He turns his attention to Kotuumath, "Kotuu, let's see if we can deal with the dark thing!"

"Uhh, hello? Certified mariner right here," Linebeck huffed.

"Ryu's sitting on Sarvai anyways, and it's too dangerous for her to try and get onto the boat while it's moving.

"Yeah, what he said."

Linebeck got behind the wheel of the boat as Kotuumath jumped off of the Blastoise's shell and hovered in mid-air.

"Let's see what we can do," he said to Johnny.

Johnny nods to Kotuumath before nodding to Linebeck, "Good luck, man." He rushes towards Kotuumath, positioning himself in his combat stance next to Kotuumatch as he faces the dark figure, with flames igniting onto his hands, "You ready, Kotuumath?"

"Ready; just don't fall off the boat."

Unfortunately, the two barely have any time to react before the monster explodes out of the water once again.

"RROOOOOOAAAAAAARRR!!"

"Wah!" Johnny lands onto the ground from the boat, barely falling off, after seeing the monster exploding out of the water, "D*mnit... this monster got clever by surprising us. Well, let's see how it'll fare up with this!" He opens his hands as he releases a stream of flames to the monster. "Hyah!"

At the same time, Kotuumath opens his mouth and spews fire at the creature as well. But it opens its mouth and retaliates with many large, fast-moving bubbles. They explode into water upon hitting the flames.


 * (Ryu-What if Linebeck's boat almost runs into the Trolls' boat?)
 * (Jon-That would be possible, although considering as how it's still foggy, Linebeck may not tell whose boat belongs to until its too late.)
 * (Ryu-Oooh....that'd actually be better for the plot, I think :P)
 * (Jon-Indeed :3)

"Whoa, look out!" He jumps out of the way from the fast-moving bubbles, barely avoiding from getting hit from the monster's retaliatory attack. The stray bubbles near the boat are popped by Agartha's bullets.

Kotuumath ducks below the bubbles and attempts to strike the beast's lower jaw. But it swings its head at the last second and smacks him, down towards the water.

"Gah!!"

"Kotuumath!" Johnny watches Kotuumath gets smacked by the beast's lower jaw.

* * * The Lucario's ears perked up, from the sound in the distance. "Hey Nudge," she said to the Lopunny, "did you hear that?" The Lopunny looked in the direction of the sound. "Angie, look!" The Lopunny pointed to the creature in the distance. "What the hell is that!?" The Lucario asked in shock. "I don't know, but let's find out!" The lucario the held out a red, egg-shaped, gold trimmed gem, and its glowed brighter in her hand as she underwent an intricate transformation sequence. She then unfurled her large, bat-like wings, picked up the Lopunny, and flew towards the the disturbance.

* * *

Meanwhile, the Trolls are still looking for the source until Toxic suddenly hears a roar. "Whoa... this must be it! Hang on, trolls! Money's calling out for us!" He picks up the speed from the boat to follow the sound of the monster's roar as the other Trolls hold on.

Back at the scene of the fight, Kotuumath catches himself at the last second, narrowly avoiding plummeting into the cold water. He flies back up; the creature is preoccupied by Johnny now.

"Alright..." Johnny performs a stance as if he is holding a bow and arrow, which causes his pyrokinesis to materialize both a bow and an arrow, both which are made of pure flames, as he aims at the creature, getting ready to shoot "Have at me, bro!"

The monster opens its mouth and spews a stream of clear liquid that produces steam as soon as it makes contact with the air. Kotuumath's eyes widened once he saw it.

"That's...that's Cryogen! Get out of the way, Johnny!!"

"OHSH-!" Johnny makes a dash to evade the stream of clear liquid.

Suddenly, an explosion from a rocket launcher hits the monster. It screeches in pain and rears back, droplets of the fiercely cold liquid splashing into the water below, which promptly begins to boil and steam.

"What the--?!" Johnny looks around for the source of the attack and sees another boat, albeit covered in fog. He can see an incoming missile speeding towards the monster and exploding onto it upon impact.

"Who the hell-"

With an angry snarl, the monster dashed past Linebeck's boat, pushing it aside with the waves generated, and went for the source of the missiles.

Johnny grasps onto the boat as the waves rocked onto it as the monster dashes past by, "Wah!"

J looks on in disbelief. "Did it suddenly lost interest with you?" Johnny shrugs, "Can't be too sure.. then again, if its after another innocent bystanders, then we can't just stand by and let it attack. Who knows what'll happen?"

"I'm pretty sure innocent bystanders wouldn't be armed with missiles," said Linebeck, watching the creature swim towards the other, hidden boat.

"Yeah.. we might need to get on out of here, though. Once it destroys that boat, it'll resume coming after us next, Linebeck." Johnny replies to Linebeck.

"That's a good idea. Let's go."

He drove the boat away from the creature. It ignored them.

Back with the Trolls, they can see the creature coming after them at dangerous speeds. "It's closing in, fast!" said Tantrum, with a rocket launches in his possession. "Good..." Toxic replies and looks at Biggie. "Biggie, throw the noobs in the lake! We're gonna need live bait if we don't want it thrashing our boat!"

"Duhh okay!" Biggie approaches to Liam, Macabre, Pop and Cloud and tosses them, one by one, onto the lake before Toxic sees a boat that's passing by. "Well, well, well... Tantrum, we'll deal with the monster later. Right now, let's give them a nice, warm welcome..."

Tantrum nods as Toxic makes a U-Turn to follow the boat passing by, leaving the four newcomer trolls behind.

"GABRIEL HUGO!" Cloud shouts inadvertently.

"Why do you MUST shout for no reason, Cloud?" Pop asks Cloud in a stern manner.

"I guess Toxic is off to make deliveries?" said Macabre.

"What is that?!" Cloud points to the monster approaching. It stops in front of the three incompetent Trolls and leers down at them, before swooping its neck down and devouring Cloud.

* * *

Meanwhile, the Lucario lands at the shore of the lake, and lets go of the Lopunny, she then looked at the lake, and noticed the chaos that the creature was causing.

"What is that!?" The Lucario said as she pointed at the bizarre creature. "I have no idea," said the Lopunny. "Do you think it could be a witch?" "I'm not sure?" Said the Lucario, she then turned her attention to the group that the creature was targeting. "And who the hell are those wierd @$$ hedgehog freaks?" The lopunny then turned her attention to the "hedgehog freaks". "What the f**k?" She said. "They look like a bunch of noobs, but if this is a witch we're dealing with, we should wait for it to make a kill, before we have at it."

The creature had not noticed the Lucario and the Lopunny at all; it was busy eating attacking Liam, Macabre and Pop, after having made a meal of Cloud.

The grey cat which had walked past them earlier had also made his way to the shoreline (although further down), his curiosity attracted by the ongoing chaos. "This ain't somethin' you see everyday" the cat said to himself in an amused tone.

* * *

Back at the lake, Only Pop and Macabre are left as Cloud as been easily devoured.

"I must go after it! It has eaten Cloud!" Macabre unwittingly swims towards the monster. Pop simply rolls his eyes as he watches Macabre swim towards it.

Within seconds, Macabre has been devoured as well.

"Well, I never." Pop glares at the monster. "You are incompetent into devouring my fellow allies and that you are indeed classified as a generic version of a Loch Ness monster, and therefore, you have absolutely no right to use them as yesterday's meal..." Pop continues to ramble on against the monster, not aware that he too will fall victim to the monster.

It leaned its head down towards Pop, as if listening to his words.

At last, it spoke.

"{They're in my territory,}" it, or rather, she, growled.

"{Therefore they are free game. Just like you!}"

And then Pop was eaten as well.

Back with Toxic, he hatches a plan on getting the other boat's attention...

"Nightshade, if they get on board, be sure to disable their boat, but discreetly so they can't be suspicios of us. And Biggie, wait for my mark." Toxic finishes instructing Nightshade. "Duhhh okay, Toxic!" Biggie replies.

Nightshade nods. "Will do. Since the fog is thick enough, I'll be able to provide stealth." He runs and drops himself off of the side of the boat carefully as to not cause spashing noises.

"Since this fog is thick, as Nightshade mentioned... they don't know what will hit 'em." Toxic chuckles softly and evilly as he grabs a flare gun from the gun cabinet and fires it in the air.


 * (Ryu-Wait, are they disabling the engine of their own boat, or Linebeck's boat?)
 * (Jon-FU- my post didn't made sense. My apologies >.<')
 * (Ryu-It's okay)

The flare's bright light cuts through the fog, and gets the attention of our heroes.

"Hey, look at that!" said Albus, pointing at the light. "That's gotta be a flare light! The other boat's gotta be in trouble; we should help them."

Linebeck was quiet, his arms crossed as he contemplated this.

"I don't know...I can't see it being a civilian boat if it's arms with missiles..."

He scratched his chin.

"Hmm...you guys stay and guard my boat. I'll go see what's up."

He looks at the still-unconscious G.U.N soldier.

"The extra firepower would've been nice, but I should be fine on my own."

He then started driving towards the other boat.

"Who could it be..?" Johnny wonders.

"No idea..."

They finally reach the boat. Linebeck gets up and goes to board the larger vessel, using his grappling hook.

Toxic awaits for someone aboard, as even he doesn't know who it is. Eventually Linebeck boards the larger boat. It's hard to tell who's on board already due to the fog.

"Hello?"

Lineback can see three figures from the fog; a hedgehog, a large cat and a fox, all staring at him blankly. He squints at them in return.

"Did you need assistance? You sent a flare up..."

The hedgehog figure nods to Linebeck slowly, but ominously.

"Okay, so...what is it? Engine trouble? I'm not really a repairman, but my friend has a Blastoise that can help me tow your ship back to shore..."

The hedgehog figure nods again, ominously once more before turning to the large cat figure and nods to him as the large cat slowly walks towards the other side of the boat.

"Okay then, so...uhh..."

He can't help but feel uneasy; the hedgehog and his comrades haven't said a single thing.

Suddenly, the large cat figure jumps onto Linebeck's boat, nearly capsizing it!

"What was that???"

On the other boat, Albus and Shanoa fall overboard as the large cat jumps onto it.

"WHOA!!"

"Wah!" J hangs on to the side of the boat as he sees both Shanoa and Albus fall overboard. He rushes to Albus and reaches out his hand for him, "Albus! Grab onto my hand!"

"Grah!" Johnny, having stumbled onto the ground from the large cat's landing, and not aware who it is due to fog, growls and gets up and walks towards the large cat, "Hey, who the hell do you think you are, trying to--"

As Johnny angrily approaches, the large cat figure spins and lands a Power Whip from his large tail, sending him flying with sheer force! "GAH!" Johnny screams out as he was sent flying into the thick fog from the sudden attack; his screams fade away.

Albus is about to grab J's hand when Johnny goes sailing over his head.

"Jon!!"

Ryu and Kotuumath, riding on Sarvai's back, go towards Linebeck's boat as Shanoa activates Volaticus and flies up above the water, trying to find Johnny. The G.U.N soldier starts to wake up.

"Ugh...what the hell happened...?"

J quickly grabs Albus' hand as he looks around before pulling him onto the boat. "What the-- where's Johnny?!"

Meanwhile, the hedgehog figure approaches towards Linebeck, revealing himself to be Toxic!

"Hello, ferret. Hope flame boy knows how to swim..." he chuckles, then laughs evilly "Oh wait, he's probably eaten by the monster already!" he chortles as well.

"You...! What the hell are you doing here?!"

Shanoa is flying over the water, still trying to find Johnny.

"Johnny! Where are you?!"

There was no answer from Johnny. Toxic looks up to Shanoa overhead, "Hey, lady, if I were you, I'd focus on that dingy boat with yer pals here, or Biggie here will sink the ship whole!" he turns his attention to Linebeck, "You know, I'm surprised you asked. For a ferret with a passion for treasure hunting, you sure aren't very clever, are you? Who'd knew the fog would do wonders to let me and my Troll companions go incognito and have you pathetic losers take the ultimate bait. Furthermore, Biggie took care of flame boy so once he'll turn into lunch for the monster, it'll come after us next." Toxic grins evilly, "And by us, I mean you, cat-girl, and the rest inside that tiny boat of yours and the monster'll be mine for the taking!"

"You really think you can do anything about that beast?" he asked, looking incredulous.

"You're just as much a potential meal as we are! Stop acting so cocky!"

He pulled out his Swiss Army Knife, flicking the blade open.

"But I ain't forgiving ya for wrecking my ride and my friends!"

Kotuumath, meanwhile, jumped onto Biggie.

"Go help Shanoa find Johnny!" he said to Ryu, who nodded and urged her Blastoise forward.

"You're shark bait, you fat sack of fur!" Pulling out his sword, he tried to stab Biggie. The G.U.N soldier, now fully awake, sees the Big recolor.

"First man-eating leviathans, and now Trolls!"

"Ooh, I'm soo scared! Hah! Tantrum?" Toxic snaps his fingers.

Tantrum grins evilly as he runs towards Linebeck, "With pleasure!" He lunges to Linebeck.

"Really? You're gonna send your lackey to fight me? Typical cowardly Troll."

He jumps and rolls out of the way of Tantrum's lunge.

Back at the boat, Biggie attempts to use Mega Punch on Kotuumath, but his attacks are interrupted by J's Spikedash as his quills stab him in the back!

"Yeooowch!" Biggie yelps out in pain. "I gots stabbed, durrr!"

"And you'll get stabbed again!" He drives his sword into Biggie's head.

"What he said!" J replies.

Biggie is immediately stabbed in the head by the sword, which kills him while still standing.

* * *

Meanwhile, the lopunny at the shore decided to take advantage of the situation, "I think its made its kill," she said, she then transformed as the lucario had earlier. "That witch is mine!" She shouted, as she seems to have the creature mistaken. She then removed her bowtie, and it wrapped around her magic staff and it turns into a medium sized, precision lock cannon. As she prepared to fire, the lucario interrupted her. "Nudge, wait!" She shouted as she tackled her sister, throwing off her aim, and causing her to fire in a different direction. "What was that for?!" The lopunny said angrily. "I don't think that this is what we think it is.

Part 5
Johnny is seen underwater, briefly unconsious as he wakes up, realizing that he is underwater as he desperately swims up for some air. He does so, but coughs up a lot of water as he tries to breathe.

"Ack! Gah! What the--?!" Johnny frantically looks around and yelps out in pain. "Agh! D*mn! What the... hell was that all about..." he pants as he catches his breath; he frantically looks around, but now squinting his eyes upon realizing that his eyeglasses are gone, "Wha--? Oh no! My eyeglasses! Where are they?! "He frantically dives underwater to look around. However, it is so murky that its nearly impossible to see from underwater. He moves his head from underwater as he gasps for breath.

"Great.. my glasses are gone..." He moves his hand and opens his palm to try to use pyrokinesis, but has no effect since he is floating on water. "Ohhh man! This is why I hate water! Not only does it cancel out my pyrokinesis, it makes me weaker!" Johnny lets out a disgruntled sigh, "Right now, I bet aqua-ba***** must be laughing at me right now, even though he's not there..." He looks around to see if his friends are there, despite his poor eyesight. "Shanoa? Albus? Ryushu? Linebeck? That... thing that's not willing to finish me off..? Anyone?"

Faintly, he can hear Shanoa calling out for him.

"What the-- Shanoa?!" Johnny looks around, still unable to see clearly not just from the fog, but also his poor eyesight from his lack of eyeglasses.

"Johnny! I'm over here!" she called out as she flew towards the sound of his voice.

A liquid figure rippled, distorting the fog around the shape of a fox before vanishing again.

This caused Shanoa to stop, confused.

"What was that...?"

Johnny tries to swim towards the sound of the voice, albeit slowly because of the sheer impact he took from the attack, as well as his pyrokinesis cancelled. "I gotta... take it easy on swimming. If I swim too hard... it'll drain my strength further." He thought to himself.

Unfortunately, he stops swimming, fatigue setting in as he pants harshly, not being able to swim further for the trace of Shanoa's voice. "D*mnit.. can't swim further... whenever I move or swim underwater, it'll eat away my strength, not just pyrokinesis..." He mutters to himself.

The liquid being reappeared, the fog distorting. However, instead of attacking, a pair of semi-solid arms wrapped around Johnny, holding him above the water with ease. A male voice seemed to emerge. "If you struggle, I could lose my grip, and I'm sure drowning is no fun."

He looks back and sees what appears to be a liquid resembling him, but cannot tell due to his nearsightness, "Oh no... I gotta.. get outta here..." He tries to struggle from the semi-solid arms, but unfortunately, his strength has been utterly drained away from being attacked by Biggie's Power Whip and staying onshore from the lake which drained his pyrokinesis, thus slipping into unconsiousness again from his lack of strength.

Shanoa watched in shock as the semi-solid fox lifted Johnny above the water.

Oblivious to Shanoa's presence, the liquid being placed Johnny onto a nearby piece of driftwood. Seemingly out of nowhere, he withdrew a set of headphones and rested them on Johnny's chest before vanishing.

Shanoa fluttered down to Johnny, having watched the mysterious figure vanish. He is lying there, motionless and unconsious, the headphones Johnny used to wear resting on his chest.

"Ryu, he's over here!" she called out. Soon, Ryu and Sarvai arrived on the scene, and the two helped Johnny onto the Pokemon's back.
 * (Ryu-So, when/how should we introduce Rageik?)
 * (Jon-After Toxic is defeated by J and The Random Rangers, he would later regenerate and call Rageik for backup)
 * (Ryu-Alright, just keep in mind that Flash is most likely going to control Rageik.)
 * (Jon- Sure, no prob.)

"Johnny? Are you alright?!" J asks to Johnny as he was helped onto the Pokemon's back. Unfortunately, Johnny does not respond. J lets out a sigh. "Great.. this is what Johnny has been telling me on why he doesn't like to swim, let alone traverse through the snowy weather."

"We gotta get back to shore," said Ryu. Back on Linebeck's boat, Kotuumath had just dumped Biggie's corpse overboard.

"There."

On the other ship, however, Linebeck was still fighting Tantrum. Or rather, taunting him and dodging his attacks.

Tantrum keeps on trying to attack Linebeck, to no avail, "You think you're some worthy treasure hunter, ferret boy?! YOU AIN'T WORTH BEING A CLASSES, STUPID..." Tantrum continues to insult Linebeck in an effort to intimidate him. Meanwhile, Nightshade peeks behind the engine of Linebeck's boat and begins to grab and pull the wires from the engine, with careful procedure as to not be seen.

"C'mon, Hothead! You couldn't hit the side of a barn!" He continued to strafe and dodge around the Tails recolor, grinning. Nightshade's sabotage of the ferret's boat went unnoticed.

"You dare call me names?! YOU DARE CALL ME NAMES?!" Tantrum keeps lunging at Linebeck in an effort to attack him. Nightshade finishes pulling off the wires from Linebeck's boat discreetly as he lets go of the wires so they will sink under the murky lake as he slowly swims to the side of the boat Toxic is, trying to not create noises along the way.

"Ohohoho, I dare!" he taunted, expertly dodging out of Tantrum's way each time. He then lunged forward himself, aiming a punch at Tantrum's face.

Tantrum lands himself being punched in the face by Linebeck, "Grahhh!!"

Toxic heads to the side of the boat to see Nightshade, "Did ya tampered their boat?" Toxic whispered.

"Yeah... they're gonna become open water and lunch for the hungry monster." Nightshade replies to Toxic in return, also whispering to him.

Linebeck is preoccupied with fighting Tantrum, so he doesn't notice Nightshade and Toxic.
 * (Ryu-*trying to think of ways to get this moving*)
 * (Would having one of the girls accidentally launch an attack at the trolls help?)
 * (Ryu-That'd definitely get their attention)

Toxic nods to Nightshade before turning to Tantrum, whistling to him, "Tantrum! Back out for now."

"Ugh, finally! I was getting nailed here!" Tantrum retreats from Linebeck to join up Toxic and Nightshade.

"Aww, did the little baby get all tuckered out?" Linebeck sneered at Tantrum. He quirked an eyebrow at Nightshade.

"Where'd Mr. Short, Dark and Emo come from?"

"If you're talking about me, you might as well look elsewhere, ferret." Nightshade replies in a stern manner. "WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOUR SORRY LITTLE NECK, I--" Tantrum is interrupted by Toxic when he placed his hand on Tantrum's shoulder. "Tantrum! You'll deal with ferret boy later, but we have to back out for now. Besides, the longer we stay here and ramble on about, the more we end up grabbing the monster's attention."

Toxic gives a smug look at Linebeck, "You oughta be lucky for now, so when we return, you WON'T be so lucky, and believe me, the fog will play our tricks..."

"Ooh, well excuuuuse me, princess," he shot back at Nightshade, faking a look of hurt. He smirked at Tantrum again.

"Please, Hothead; I can run circles around you! And as for you, Toxic," he continued. "You're forgetting I'm here with all my pals; you're the one who's lucky they didn't come on board with me."

Toxic simply rolled his eyes to Linebeck.

J looks up to Linebeck from the side of the boat, "Linebeck, I'd love to help you and deal with the Trolls, but right now we need to get Johnny back on shore. He's not looking good..." J looks back to Johnny, his fur having changed color from dark brown to semi-light blue, signifying hypothermia since there is no direct sunlight from the thick and foggy weather.

"S***, really?? Damn..."

Without a word to the Trolls, he jumped back down to his own boat.

Meanwhile, the lopunny looked around, and then moved closer to the lake. "Hey, what happened to the witch? She said, as she couldn't see much, due to the fog. The lucario went after her sister. "Get back, I don't think that this is a witch!" The lopunny turned her magic staff into a black and white musketoon. "Well if its not a witch, then what is it?" "I don't know, but whatever it is, those hedgehog freaks seem to be very interested in it." The lopunny quickly lept into the lake. "Ha! There after it to! No way, that grief seed is mine!" She shouted as she fired into the fog.

The bullet travels towards the Trolls.
