"Come on, Pikachu! Use Iron Tail!"

"Chuuuuu, PI-KA!" Pikachu screeched, obeying his trainer's commands as he brought his tail down on his opponent.

"Hah!" Sonic the Hedgehog said, crossing his arms in front of him to deflect the blow. "Nice try, Baseball Head, but it's gonna take more than that to fool me!"

Ash Ketchum merely smirked. "How about this? Pikachu, use Electro Ball!" Pikachu obeyed, jumping in the air and slamming an electric ball straight at the hedgehog. Sonic jumped out of the way, spinning through the air, before shooting straight for Pikachu. He slammed into Pikachu head-on, knocking the little Pokemon back towards his trainer. He quickly got up and attacked with Thunderbolt. Sonic instinctively jumped to the side to dodge, only to land right in the path of the attack.

"Gahhh!" he cried.

"How's that?" Ash grinned.

"Ha! Nice move there, Ketchum," Sonic grinned back, "but I'm just getting warmed up!" With that, he ran towards Pikachu, curling into a ball before ramming into him. Pikachu anticipated this and jumped up to dodge, attacking with Quick Attack to follow up. They continued attacking each other with their speedy attacks, with Ash calling out encouragement all the while.

It was then that the sky over them suddenly grew dark. "Huh?" Ash wondered. "Who turned out the lights?" He stopped giving commands and glanced behind him, where a strange, fiery light was burning. "What?" he wondered. Then he gasped.

A fiery symbol burned in the darkness. The two lines going through it made its significance unmistakable. "What's up?" Sonic wondered, walking up to Ash with Pikachu. Then he gasped too. "I-Is that -?"

"Could it be -?" Ash breathed.

"Pika pika?" Pikachu murmured.

A legion of heroes stood in front of the symbol, their features hidden in the darkness. The two heroes leading them, however, were easily identifiable: the newly-christened Odyssean hero and the Hero of the Wild. As Ash and Sonic stared in awe, the fiery symbol dwarfed everything in its light.

A great battle was about to begin anew.

SUUUPER! SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH BROTHERRRRRRRRRRRRRS!


Do you blame me? I had to do something. Amazingly enough, the trailer was nearly identical to a headcanon scene I've had in my head for years.
