I guess this could be considered a peace offering to misty fans, which probably hate my Dragon Series…

 

Disclaimer: I own this fanfic. Nintendo owns pokemon, and too many companies own Sailor Moon for me to count. This is non-profit, non-copyright infringing fanwork by me and me alone, so there we go!

Ranma – I see!

SS2 Megami-sama – cool!

Link Masters – thanks!
KiAnson – ok! ^_^

Episode 3: And the fighting really begins

 

            “Have you brought me anything?” The dark queen asked.

            “No.” Her servant Mewthree said truthfully.

            “We need the energy of the humans to power our castle! You know that!”

            “Yes, my queen.” Mewthree said, as he hatched a plot.

 

Five days later…

 

            “Ashline, are you listening to that radio show again?” Lance asked, tsking in disapproval.

            “But Lance-chan! It’s so romantic! I can’t believe Mary is actually reading love letters over the air!”

            “And I thought Professor Oak’s pokemon talk was bad.” Lance sighed.

            “And they’re giving out these custom pink and white poke balls! Just in time for Valentine’s day!”

            Lance’s eye twitched again. “Ashline… it’s August.”

            “Well, still. I like it!”

 

            Umbreon was asleep in a patch of sunlight in Gary’s room, as Garina furiously typed up her history homework.

            “Argh, I never get a break….”

            Garina continued typing, but not without casting glares at the screen. She flipped on her radio as ‘Mary’s Love Sonnets’ came on though.

            “I wish I could win, but I’ve never written a love letter to anyone. Heck, I can’t even write an essay for English!”

            “That could be a problem.” Umbreon agreed.

            “Nobody asked your opinion. I don’t even want to be a ‘sailor senshi’.”

            “But it’s your destiny!” Umbreon pleaded.

            Garina ignored the Umbreon and continued to type.

 

            Two days later…

            “Hey, Lorelei!” Ashline said excitedly. “That’s!”

            “Yes,” Lorelei said, smiling at the young trainer. “Last night, Mary read one of my letters, so she sent me this.”

            “It’s so pretty!” Ash said, admiring the sparkly rhinestones in the poke ball. ‘But aren’t they expensive?”

            “Probably, which is why the show is giving them out for free.” Lorelei said, yawning. “I feel strangely tired…”

            “You should go take a nap.” Ash advised.

            “Good idea, I have a challenger tomorrow.” Lorelei acknowledged as she went to bed.

            Unbeknownst to her, the ball began to glow as it sucked up her energy.

 

 

            Ash felt tired herself, as she trudged back to her room.

            “What’s wrong?”

            “Just tired,” Ash replied, looking into Lance’s concerned blue eyes.

            “Are you sure?” Lance put a hand on her forehead to check for temperature. He frowned.

            “Ash, what do you mean you’re fine.” He picked her up and carried her into his room before shutting the door.

            “What did you do to use up so much energy?”

            “What…do you mean?” Ash asked, finding it harder and harder to keep her eyes open.

            Lance inwardly seethed. * So…. Looks like the ‘dark kingdom’ has finally struck. *

            “Your energy has been drained.” Lance said shortly as he bent down over her. “Don’t move. I’ll give you some of mine.”

            Ash was in no frame of mind to complain, as he gently touched her lips with his and blue chi flowed into her form.

 

            Five minutes later, Ashline was feeling much better. “But wait! It had to be that poke ball!”

            “Of course.” Lance replied. “A good way to discreetly drain off a lot of energy. I’d say about twelve people have died so far.’

            “… Died?”

            “Yes.” Lance replied. “We have to get rid of this.”

            “Hai! I’ll get Garina!”

 

 

            Garina looked up from her completed essay. “What’s up, Ashline?”

            “Those pink custom poke balls are really energy-draining weapons!” Ash said. “The ‘dark kingdom’ must be behind this!”

            “Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s go!” Garina cheered.

            “Um….” Umbreon made a comment.

            “What?”

            “You can’t just barge into the Radio Tower!”

            “Sure we can! We’re league champions!” Garina said proudly.

            “No! I mean that if you reveal your superhero identities to the Negaverse, they’ll kill you!”

            “… Negaverse?”

            ‘Dark kingdom.”

            “Oh.”

 

            Ash sighed. “Guess that means I’m stuck wearing that *shudder* costume.” She touched the key. “Moon Prism Power!”

            *Whoosh*

            “Well,” Ash said dryly, smoothing down the fuku. “It could be worse.”

            “True.” Lance agreed, as his silver armor appeared. “Let’s go.”

            “Note to self, kill Umbreon as soon as this ‘dark kingdom’ is gone.” Garina mused. “All right! Let’s go for it!”

 

            The three of them neared the tower, but soon, security stopped them. Umbreon quickly dragged them into an alley.

            “We need another way, Umbreon….”

            Umbreon did another flip as a pen and a bracelet appeared. “Okay! Here you go! Ashline, that’s the moon disguise pen, and Garina, that’s the Silence bracelet.”

            Ashline blinked as she held the pen up. “Ok then… moon disguise pen, turn me into a female reporter!”

            *Whoosh*

            “… well, it worked.” Lance muttered.

            Garina quickly did the same and into the tower they went, before they reached the third floor.

 

            Mewthree looked up, startled, as they burst in.

            “Who are you?”

            “I am Sailor Eevee! And I command you to stop draining those innocent girls who only want their love letters read!”

            “And I’m Sailor Umbreon! In the name of Saturn, and all dark pokemon, I will punish you!”
            “Interesting.” Mewthree said before he summoned a monster and vanished.

 

            A lady/radio set appeared and charged, sending sonicbooms everywhere.

            “Moonlight Flash!” Ashline called, trying to put it to sleep. Unfortunately, the move did not work.

            “Here, let me!” Garina said, screwing up her face. “Ah, got it! Silence Blast!” In her hands formed a ball of dark energy, which went flying at the radio monster.

            “…That works.” Ashline said, before she took off her tiara and shifted it into the boomerang. “Moon Star Boomerang!”

            There was a *ping* as the monster turned into Moondust.

            “Let’s go.” Ash said, as she and Gary pried open a window and hopped onto Lance’s waiting Dragonair.

            Umbreon followed them.

 

            “So, have you finally accepted your destinies?”

            “No.” Ashline said, yawning. “I don’t believe in your story, but sure, I’ll help you until you find the ‘princess’, whoever she is.”

            Gary looked at her watch. “AAK! Umbreon! You evil, evil pokemon! That operation took two hours and my French essay is due in ten minutes!”

            “Don’t worry.” Umbreon said. “Use your pen.”

           

            Garina blinked and detransformed before climbing into her room. “What?”

            Umbreon popped the top off of her henshin wand, revealing a pen inside. “Special powers.”

            “Oh.” Gary picked up the pen and began writing, and in five minutes the essay was done.

            “Mind you, this is only for emergencies!” Umbreon replied, seeing Gary’s look of star-struck happiness.

            “Aw…”

 

            Lance and Ashline lay sprawled out on Lance’s bed, staring at the ceiling.

            “This is just getting stranger and stranger isn’t it?”

            “You said it.”
