Ash and the Guardians of the Jungle

Confronting Hunter J

Still horrified by what she found out, Serena hadn't expected her wolves friends to be corrupted to the side of evil.

"It's horrible!"

"I know it's scary but everything will be alright. My friend Mamoru will help, he and the wolves were once human until Beryl turned them into an antelope and wolves but Mamoru managed to escape."

"Thanks Yoshi...but I'm glad I know how to fight thanks to my mentor Zoroark.  I also lost my father years ago, and I wish to see him again.."

"Don't be like that Serena. Surely he will be proud that you protected me earlier."

It suddenly started to wind, Battle Scarred felt the wind and prepared for what might come.

"What was that?"

"I don't know but it seems like something bad."

"I hope it's not a hunter..."

"No, I think it's something even worse than a hunter."

Then Yoshi noticed a humanoid-shaped tornado connected to a wave, the two phenomena revealed themselves to be Haruka and Michiru who, when they saw the boy, went towards him.

"WELCOME BACK GIRLS!"

"It's nice meet you agian dinohero."

"And this must be your girlfriend."

"Hi...I'm Serena...are you two Sailors too?"

"Yeah, my name is Haruka. Everyone knows me with Uranus"

"And I’m Michiru. Also called Neptune."

"I forgot to mention, my best friends are girlfriends."

"No way!"

"That's right but we are fine and we love each other very much."

"Yeah, we accept our sexualities and who we are, and Haruka is my precious treasure."

"That's good to know. Well, it's late and I'm going home but I enjoyed meeting you two."

"Be careful honeyhair."

"Thanks, we meet tomorrow again."

Serena left and the couple needed to talk with Yoshi about a danger.

"So girls, what do you need to talk to me about? We've already dealt with goons and hunters."

"We've scouted the area, however, aside from poachers and goons, there isn't much to search for."

"However, there's one hunter that's gotten our attention."

"All of Pallet are trusted and our friends, but we need to deal with this new hunter!"

"What makes you think it's he?"

"It's actually she, is a grey-haired woman with dark clothes and red visor."

"Wait, it has to be...Hunter J! She also uses a cannon capable of petrifying any living being and collects Pokémon with this weapon."

"Since you know her, let's show you where she and her men are."

Haruka and Michiru sneaked Battle Scarred to where the guards were taking several unevolved, middling species into a high-tech tank.

"Her men are taking these unknown Pokémon to the collection, and we need to save them before it's too late."

"We need a plan to infiltrate there and save the Pokémon."

"We wait for nightfall. Then we camouflage ourselves, free the Pokémon and hand her and the guards over to the police."

The couple agreed to help. The night arrived, the huntress was finishing trapping and putting all her trophies in the capture tank, and the Pokémon she had were a Shinx, a Charmander, an Umbreon, an Elekied, a Chespin, a Scizor, a Vulpix, a Heracross , a Bunneary, a Rockruff, a Cubone, a Roggenrola, a Weavile, a Sandshrew, a Dratinit, a Litten and a Hitmontop. All of them had tried to use their powers but to no avail because of the cages that were potent.

"Excellent. Our client is going to love what we're going to be bringing to them. Too bad all of you won't be able to escape the cages designed to support your powers."

Everyone trembled, and when J was about to leave, a strong wind began to flow.

"Strange. Usually the wind is light during the night but this time it seems stronger."

From above the tank Yoshi imitated the sound of a Noctowl to lead her.

"WHOO!"

"Who's there?"

It didn't take long for the huntress to look forward and receive a punch from Haruka throwing her to the other side, breaking her visor.

"Argh...who are you?!"

"I'm Uranus, Guardian of Skies. We are here to arrest you!"

J soon noticed Yoshi getting into the tank.

"Stop them now!" J ordered her men to take him.

The guards tried to catch Battle Scarred but he was very agile and strong, managing to deal with all of them with the help of the trapped Pokémon, destroying all the cages with his high attributes while Haruka started fighting melee with J and Michiru summoned tsunamis to trap all the guards.

"Surrender J, you'll never make it!"

"It's no use. I will become the greatest Pokémon collector, and no one will stop me!"

J was about to use her weapon on Haruka, but a spectral energy ripped her petrifier to pieces.

"How dare you destroy my best weapon? I also petrified humans!"

The platinum haired tomboy started to laugh sarcastically.

"Why are you laughing like that?"

"Turns out I wasn't the one who destroyed your weapon, I forgot to mention I have a ghost friend known as Pluto."

Feeling insulted, the huntress retorted severely.

"Who's this Pluto? And why is she named after something that is no longer considered a planet?"

Battle Scarred smiled fiercely at the weakened woman.

"Why don't you se for yourself?"

"After all, she's right behind you as we speak."

"What..?"

Then the criminal was surprised by a spectral cage generated by none other than Setsuna.

"Hey Setsuna! Good to see you again after so long!"

"Equally Yoshi, this huntress will regret coming here!"

"Yes, now why don't you show her why we still call Pluto a planet?"

"As my codename suggests, the ghosts are on the loose!"

"You and your lackies are under arrest!"

Inside the phantom cage, J was taken by spectral waves that turned her threat into cowardice, and Setsuna soon undid the cage but tied her in a string so she wouldn't escape. Aside from the lackies trapped by Michiru's waves, all the Pokémon captured by J ran back to their home, and now the four teenagers were staring at her seriously.

"You four won..."

"Criminals like you shouldn't use these innocent creatures for their own ends."

"Go ahead, kill me!"

With a compassionate look Battle Scarred declined the option.

"No, we won't cause would be to easy punishment for you."

"What? But your friends has power excect you..."

"Actually he has powers."

"He has a special power."

"Trust me, you don't want him use his power on you and your men."
