”Bzzt. You could say that I’m skin tight.” Shine promptly replies to the Pokkenger with a hint of smugness in its tone.

If Pokken Rider weren’t in front of his hero, he’d let out a low groan at the terrible pun, instead he begins stretching his arms. ”Yeah, it took a few years to make, but let’s just say that I’ve gotten some extra motivation watching a certain green hero on the news.” he says, alluding his inspiration towards the other hero.

He can feel the low rumbling against the grown, and looking down the hallway, he spots the same thing as Pokkenger, a large steel-beam like pokemon making its slow approach towards a wimpering Yamper. Pokkenger is faster than he is though and sends out his Lucario which promptly topples the pokemon with a single move before a pokeball captures it.

He inwardly thanks the stars above that he’s wearing a helmet; otherwise, he might just keel over and die from embarrassment due to the redness of his cheeks. He sheepishly scratches the side of his helmet with his right index finger. ”Ah, well…” but before Pokken Rider has a chance to say anything else, the Rotom does it for him. ”REJOICE! FOR YOU STAND BEFORE THE GREATNESS THAT IS POKKEN RIDER!”

skipping the yamper

The sky above suddenly darks and droplets of rain begin falling from the sky, pattering away against his suit. He looks upwards, sighing in relief as fortune seems to be turning in his favor; yet just as he looks away from the flames for the briefest of moments, he hears a voice suddenly call out to him.

Looking down, he sees a young girl suddenly charging through the flames as Pokken Rider is left speechless. ”Bzzt, boss, you there? A girl just ran into the fire.”

Liquid’s voice brings the hero back to reality as he curses loudly, chasing after her. He slams his open palms outwards, blasting away the fire in front of them with another hydro pump as he quickly trails behind her. There’s a loud creak above them as a large flaming branch seems to break apart from one of the nearby trees, falling towards the girl.

I’m not going to make it in time! Pokken Rider thinks to himself when suddenly electricity sparks off from his gauntleted fist. His eyes widen and he grins beneath his helmet, punching his fist outwards as a surge of electricity bursts out, blasting away the falling branch.

His eyes widen in surprise as the black Charizard manages to get ahead of him, swiping at the alien bee-like creature with its claws. He looks back to the woman, head hanging slightly low as she chides him for impeding on her job. ”Is that right?” he asks somewhat sheepishly.

Yet, there’s no time for him to relax as the ultra beast lets out a massive roar, poison jabbing at the Charizard with its stinger.

”You can call me Pokken Rider, ma’am!” he bellows out without shame for borrowing from the Pokkenger’s moniker, charging at the two as his suit seems to glow brightly. He leaps upwards, kicking at the beast’s lower body as he channels the Rotom in his suit’s facade into his kick, knocking the beast away momentarily.

Putting some distance between the three, the eyes from his helmet begins to glow red as a the Naganadel's body begins to glow a similar color, it's movements becoming more rigid as it struggles to move from the Pokken Rider's hex.

Pokken Rider grimaces beneath his mask as he watches the blue orb grow in size, demolishing his clones with great precision. He manages to duck away, avoiding the sphere as while Shine would be impervious to the damage done by the Aura Sphere, he himself would still be vulnerable.

Gritting his teeth, he charges through as a glow begins to shine from within his gauntlet. Stepping within punching distance, he suddenly strikes his fist upwards, uppercutting the Urshifu with FACADE as the Rotom significantly powers up his punch.

The crowd goes wild with their cheers as the ring judge just watches, his mouth agape at the sight of it all. “Somehow Pokken Rider’s managed to clone himself, but our Champion’s Urshifu manages to blow all but one away with a mighty Aura Sphere! But our masqueraded hero isn’t down for the count, he manages to close the distance between man and pokemon and throws out a devastating uppercut!”

Hendrix sighs solemnly as he stands alone within the memorial park – his eyes lingering on the tombstone in front of him. Smoke trails off from the cigarette in in his lips as ash slowly breaks apart, dropping onto the ground.

How much easier would his life be if he’d just follow his original dream of becoming an engineer? It’s too late to wonder now as he’s made his decision, and any regrets he might have would only hinder him from his current mission. He squats down, cracking open a can of beer as he lifts it over the grave, tilting his hand ever so slightly so the bubbly drink pours down against the dirt.

So many friends lost from Team Rocket’s attack to the sudden war and he’s left mentally scarred and angry at himself for being unable to do much else… He can only feel resentment towards Interpol for coming up with faulty plans and making things far worse than they should’ve been.

liquid the rotom learns protect.

His brows crease and his eyes scrunch close together as he spies the alien-like beast off in the distance. It speeds closer to them, aiming its stinger at the two menacingly as it suddenly expunges purple liquid from its needle.

He hears flapping wings behind him and light footsteps trailing behind. Glancing back, he easily spots the woman trailing after him.

”Shit, substitute!” he cries out in alarm. For a brief instance, the red glow from his vizor dims as a hologram-like Pokken Rider separates from his body. The secondary Pokkenger takes this ample time to leap backwards as he grabs ahold of the woman, pulling her away with him as the visage of Pokken Rider is melted away by the beast’s toxic attack.

Still holding the woman in his embrace, he grimaces as he stares at her. ”I never said I was Pokkenger, I’m Pokken Ri-“ he suddenly pauses as he realizes that it isn’t the time to complain about his identity. ”Why’d you even follow me? It’s dangerous over here!”

Pokken Rider is quick to release the woman as he stares back at the battle-hardened Ultra Beast. He folds his hands close together – electricity suddenly sparking from his gauntlets. ”Thunder Wave!”

Extending his palms outwards, a surge of electricity suddenly flares out from his red gauntlets, covering the Naganadel as it quickly paralyzes it. ”Bzzt, we got it, boss!” the Rotom chimes in on his communication lines. Seeing the beast’s movements obstructed by the electricity, Pokken Rider turns back to the woman. ”Alright, just leave this to me, okay?” he says with confidence brimming in his voice.

His eyes momentarily widen at the sight of the large bear-like pokemon. When he stepped into the ring, Pokken Rider imagined facing off against a Machoke or even a Pangoro – not some ripped pokemon that seemed to know its way around a ring.

”Bzzt, uh boss, was this what you were expecting to fight off against?” the Rotom questions, somewhat doubting whether or not his trainer is sane.

He scratches the side of his helmet as suddenly the bell rings causing the crowd to go wild. Taking a proper fighting stance, he stares down at the large pokemon, gritting his teeth slightly. ”Double Team!” he suddenly calls out as he charges at the Urshifu. As he does, the suit momentarily glows a bright yellow before there’s suddenly four Pokken Riders charging.

Pokken Rider’s cheeks flush red as he is suddenly embraced by a beautiful woman causing him to feel thankful that his face is masked by his helmet; otherwise, his embarrassment would be known to the world.

Seeing the Charizard near the woman and realizing that she’d call out an unfamiliar name, it seems she’s confused him for someone else. Resting his gauntleted hands on the woman’s shoulders, he gently pushes her away.

”It seems you’ve got the wrong person.” he quickly corrects the woman. She must be familiar with Pokkenger… is Kaz his name? Looking back at the Charizard, the woman seems plenty capable as a trainer, but alas the mission ahead isn’t safe and he’s worried for the civilian. ”You should take your leave, miss. It’s dangerous ahead.”

As Pokken Rider tries to distance himself, he hears static from his comms as Shine suddenly speaks out to him. ”Bzzt, boss, we’ve got something on the scanners. We should move.”

He turns his helmet back to the woman, holding out his palm as he then points away. ”Go!” he yells before sprinting away. ”Shine, give me those coordinates.”
