The region of Galar...IS UNDER ATTACK! A dynamaxed Coalossal is attacking the town of Turrfield.

"Protect the Wooloo!" shouts Meelow, the gym leader of Turrfield gym, as he and his helpers try to corral a rolling herd of Wooloo. "Quick, this way!"

"There's a group of Wooloo stuck in the field blocked by the firewall that Coalossal made! The Yamper can't get to them!" Nicole, one of Meelow's helpers, shouts back.

"You stay with the Wooloo! I got 'em!" Meelow instructs as he races off to the rescue. `I'm too far from the power spot to have Eldegoss dynamax, but maybe...' Meelow thinks.

Suddenly, a swift shadowy figure races overhead to Meelow's surprise. Large vines worm their way out of the ground and begin to form a wall, corralling the frightened Wooloo, blocking them from the blaze they were blindly heading towards. Meelow looks around in relief wondering what just happened.

"Kojo." Meelow says with a relieving smile. "That rascal is as tough as weeds. Go, Kojo, Go!"

Kojo Dojo zooms through the air overhead, saluting Meelow with a wink as he swings by, a purple cape tied securely around its neck flutters in the breeze. Kojo lands in a clearing amongst the Wooloo, who bleat with happiness, surrounding Kojo.

"Yes! Yes! It is I, Kojo Dojo, here to save you!" The Wooloo start to overwhelm Kojo. "Hey, HEY! WATCH THE CAPE! GET OFF KOJO DOJO YOU FURRY IMBECILES! YOU'RE SUFFOCATING KOJO DOJO!" Kojo then slams its palms to the grassy plain and launch the Wooloo in the air all around with large tentacle-like vines and form a slide for the Wooloo to be caught and funneled to be lead back safely towards Meelow's direction. Kojo stands triumphantly as he basks in the glory of onlookers.

Suddenly, Coalossal shoots a stream of fire in Kojo's direction, using Max Flare, the air temperature intensifying as it travels through the air, creating a harsh sunlight effect.

"YES! YES! BASK IN THE GLORY OF KOJO DOJO! I CAN FEEL THE HEAT OF YOU BASKING!...wait!" Kojo proclaims as the stream of fire draws nearer, his pupils growing small from the awe of the inferno. A few feet from the fire making impact with Kojo, a small shadowy figure jumps in front of Kojo, its mouth wide open, and inhales the beam of flames. Kojo looks down to see the small figure land on its feet gracefully, with a classic superhero pose landing. Kojo is unsure what to make of the creature before it, looking on, as it sees what it does next, which is open its mouth to form a big ball of fire, one that looks to have an angry face upon it, growing in size to almost the size of the Coalossal. As the the ball reaches its peak size, the creature jumps straight up into the air and pele kicks the fireball right into the face of Coalossal, its face blackened even more from the scorch of the fireball.

A barrier of pink light shatters around Coalossal as Kojo continues to look on in awe. A drumming sound is then heard in the distance. Kojo follows his gaze toward the sound and sees a large drumset made of trees. Shooting from its direction now are large vines that speed toward Coalossal and wriggle and wrap all around Coalossal, binding it in place. Coalossal struggles to break itself free of the vines for a moment until a speeding shot of water snipes Coalossal, shooting just from behind the ear of Kojo, right between Coalossal's eyes, a huge explosion following after, Kojo staring on in disbelief and amazement as the Coalossal begins to shrink in size and fall back to the ground below, fainted. Just then, 4 Carcoals speeding in uniformity of two-by-two race to the fallen Coalossal and speed off with Coalossal with them to a nearby den.

A rotom drone hovering nearby catches the footage of the events, transmitting back to Prof. Magnium's lab. "Oh they did it! That Coalossal must have not had the steam engine ability." A delighted Prof. Magnium continues to watch.

Meanwhile, Kojo blinks. "Wut was dat?...Wut happen?...Eh???"

Meelow approaches Kojo with a long whistle. "Woooooboy, that was a close one. You alright there Kojo? Why you almost got barbacued!"

Kojo quickly searches his mind for a response and begins an awkward laugh, "Uh, haha, HAHAHAHA, YES! KOJO DOJO TRIUMPHS AGAIN! NOTHING CAN DEFEAT THE MIGHTY KOJO DOJO! HAHAHA!"

"Well you seem fine. You sure saved our grass-" Meelow gets interrupted by a loud scream coming back from the Turrfield fields.

"EEEEEEEEK!" Nicole shreiks as a grey blur hacks and slashes in a fury at farming equipment, people, and wild Pokemon throughout the fields. Meelow breaks into a sprint back towards the sounds of screams and equipment breaking, Kojo shoots a vine from its wrist and swings determinedly into action, advancing steadily pass Meelow while speeding through the trees, making it to a clearing full of frightened Wooloo now sparkle-eyed with relief at the sight of Kojo. "You fuzzballs stay out of Kojo's way! Kojo Dojo will handle this!" Kojo snarls, and leaps high into the air, its palm over its brow as it peers below, scanning the area for the source of the surrounding damage, soon finding an Electrike standing its ground against an oncoming grey blur. The Electrike attacks the threat with a growl, the blur leaping over the attack into the air. As it meets the peak of its upward leap, the blur can be identified as a Galarian Meowth, counterattacking with a metal sound attack.

Electrike howls as the Galarian Meowth extends glowing claws and dives for a strike with metal claw. Just before impact is made, the Electrike is swept away by a white blur, the Galarian Meowth stabbing earth, then roaring to the sky with frustration.

"Grrrrrrraaaaaaaahhhhhhh! LOOKY WHATCHA DUIN MADE ME DAE!" The Galarian Meowth shouts.

Kojo spies on its descent a Scorbunny consoling the Electrike, patting it on the head before racing off back towards the direction of the Galarian Meowth, which looks over its shoulder to see the Scorbunny coming. The Galarian Meowth faces the oncoming Scorbunny and widens its stance in preparation of an attack. Scorbunny quickly vanishes from sight.

"No sae fast ye vermin!" says the Galarian Meowth just before hitting a reappearing Scorbunny from behind with a fake out attack, causing Scorbunny to flinch.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

"Git aff my property!" The Galarian Meowth demands as its claws extend and glow again, then suddenly the Galarian Meowth is skyrocketed by a huge vine from directly below, sending it careening to the outskirts of town as it crash lands into a wooden cart full of cabbage and rolls down a pathway leading away from Turrfield.

"My cabbages!" the cart owner woefully exclaims. "That gag's been done." says a consoling neighbor.

"Haha! Kojo Dojo saved you! You ok little wah?" Kojo peers around the base of the vine to find nothing there. "Hey, where you go?"

"We're here standing just outside of Turrfield, where just moments ago, hey!"

A news reporter preparing to report recent events is interrupted when the camera man pans over to something speedily traveling towards their direction, the Galarian Meowth riding involuntarily in the wooden cart of cabbages. "aaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa"

the Galarian Meowth yells as it speeds past the news crew.

"Jerry! What was that!?"

"Looked like a Meowth in a cabbage cart"

"Didja get it?"

"I think so."

"Jerry?"

"Yea?"

"The lens cap still on."

"......oh."

The cabbage cart weaves and swerves along the pathway and barrels through a patch of tall grass right into a tree, launching the Galarian Meowth straight through a window of a Pokemon nursery, crashing into a dimly lit room with a sign above reading "Breeding Room: Authorized Personnel Only" to smack into a wall and fall to land on a pillowy pad.

"Just a minute sugah. I'll have you praising to Arcueus in no time," says an approaching flirty voice. The Galarian Meowth's pupils dart in the direction of the voice to see a figure morph into a Galarian Meowth.

"Da!?" the Galarian Meowth asks quietly with confusion.

The new Galarian Meowth morphs into a Ditto, "I don't want to do this again! YA GOTTA HELP MEH!"

Shockingly scared, disgusted, and confused, the Galarian Meowth pushes the Ditto away. "Git awa frae me!!" it shouts as it kicks open a nearby door to exit when suddenly it gets shot in the face with an acidic goo.

"Waaaaaaaaaah" cries a startled Toxel throwing a tantrum.

"Why ye wee-" the Galarian Meowth gets cut off while raising glowing claws by a kick to its side that sends it careening out out through two doors to the outside of the front entrance of the Pokemon nursery.

The nursery staff gasp as they see an abnormally big-eyed Scorbunny focused on the direction of where the Galarian Meowth flew.

"OOOOOOOOHHH YOU'RE SO ADORABLE!" said in unison by the staff members as they rush the Scorbunny with pokes, prods, and snuggles.

Meanwhile, the Galarian Meowth skids on its back in the ground to a halt before the feet of an abnormally big-eyed Sobble and Grookey staring down at it. "What'r ye lookin' at ye wee freeks!?" mutters the Galarian Meowth. The huge curious eyes of the onlookers turn mad with insult, then the Grookey removes the twig from its crown and smashes the Galarian Meowth into the ground with it and covers the hole as if planting a seed, and the Sobble follows up with spitting up a stream of water over the plot. Instantly a flower grows and blooms on the spot. The nearby populace, consisting of random campers, hikers, and trainers take notice of the duo of Pokemon standing proudly near a newly bloomed flower, and get overwhelmed with emotion.

"OOOOOOOOHHH SO CUUUUUTE!" the people exclaim in unison just before crowding the two with attention.

The Scorbunny hops in-between the Grookey and Sobble and they strike a cutesy pose.

"OOOOOOOOHHH SO CUUUUUTE!" cries the crowd.

Kojo Dojo swings in and lands by an arriving Meelow and Chloe.

"My adoring fans, you may cheer for your hero Kojo Dojo, for the day is saved, once again, by...eh? Why are Kojo's fans not adoring Kojo?"

"Wooooweeee those some cute critters they are!" swoons Meelow.

"Why I'm flustered with cash and I'd give it all for those cuties!" Nicole adds.

"Yeah, cute, yes." Kojo says monotone.

"Heeeey, heeeey," a little girl in an Eevee costume shouts as she approaches running towards the crowd. "Has anyone seen Gruffy Bumpkins!?"

"Why I say, little lady, who's Gruffy Bumpkins?" Meelow asks.

"Hi, I'm Eve. It's what I call the mean Meowth that lives over in Turrfield fields. My Pokémon and I always battle that meany to train, and I leave it some fresh picked berries for it when we're done. The news said there was something going on at Turrfield fields, so we want to go check on it and it wasn't where it usually was, so I got worried that something may have happened to it. Have you seen it?" replies Eve.

Meanwhile, back at Professor Magnium's lab..."I think it's time they came home," says Prof. Magnium as she walks out the front door and gives a whistle. The sound of Prof. Magnium's whistling is heard by the trio and they race off in a trail of neon lights of green, orange, and blue.

"Why these cute little critters were battling a Meowth," Nicole says while gesturing to where the trio of Pokémon were.

"What critters ma'am?" asks Eve.

Everyone turns around to see the trio gone.

"Hey, that's funny. They were just here...did you see where they done run off to Kojo?" says Meelow as he turns to find Kojo is gone as well. "Kojo?...Well mow my grass and pull my weeds, where'd he run off to?"

We find Kojo high in a berry tree following the trail of neon light the trio makes. "Hmmm, what they be? Kojo Dojo only hero of Galar. But not this day, for the day was saved by..."

"The Powerpocket Monsters, or power Pokémon for short..." says Prof. Magnium. "Team Power? No, that won't do. Makes you sound up to no good."

"That's real fine mate. Can I be called Scor?" pipes the Scorbunny. "Cuz y'know, like scorin' a goal and wot."

"Ohhkeekee, then call me Sock, cuz I 'sock' the bad guys real good, yea? Wit me stick an' oll." chimes in the Grookey.

"Yeah mate, sounds fittin' innit? And we can call this one Sob for all the cryin' e does, yea?" the Scorbunny continues.

"Hey! I don't cry ALL the time! But Sob is okie dokie with me Professor, if that's what you want.... Professor?" questions the Sobble.

"......Egad, you can talk!?" Professor Magnium retorts just before fainting.

The trio shout in unison, "PROFESSOR!?"

-the end-
