(Takes place in period after Ash beats Clemont for his 5th gym badge.)
"I finally got the Lumiose Gym Badge!"
It's a joyous day for our heroes, especially Ash, following his victory against Clemont and obtaining his 5th Kalos gym badge. "I can't believe I have the Bug Badge, the Cliff Badge, the Rumble Badge, the Plant Badge, and now to Voltage Badge! So you decided to bring Heliolisk along for the ride then, Clemont?" asked Ash.
"Yeah," replied Clemont. "I can't let my dad and Clemontoid battle with him too much."
"That's great brother!" cheered Bonnie, while Dedenne squeaked in agreement.
"Now, Serena. Where's the closest gym from here?" asked Ash.
"Well, it looks like heading north to Laverre City is a good idea." replied Serena, looking at her digital map. "It's supposed to be full of rich history!"
"Great! Maybe we'll learn more about Mega Evolution there!" exclaimed Ash. Ever since he received his Lucario that could Mega Evolve from Shalour City Gym Leader Korrina, he had become fascinated about it. "Professor Sycamore would really appreciate it."
"Good idea, Ash!" piped Bonnie.
"Speaking of Mega Evolution...I wonder if I'll see that Mega Blaziken again here…" Ash trailed off.
"What's up Ash?" asked Serena.
"If it weren't for Mega Blaziken, I wouldn't be here. I have to meet it again." Ash declared.
"But first, Ash, we should see my dad." said Clemont. "He'll want to see us again and all of our new Pokemon."
(5 Minutes Later)
"Dad's not here?" raged Bonnie. "Brother, make him come here now!"
"He's always here...strange. Let me unlock the door." dazed Clemont.
After walking inside the four began to call out for Limone. Ash walked to Limone's work area and started calling out. 'Limone? Are you here? It's Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie!" He then leaned on a wall, but he felt it slide back and flip around. "Wo-woah!" Ash cried.
He fell backwards and onto the floor. The room was dark, but there appeared to be a single light in the far back. "What's that?" Ash wondered, Pikachu doing the same. He walked over to the light, which was illuminating a shelf.
There was a Mega Blaziken mask on it.
"No. Way." Ash stared. "Limone...is Mega Blaziken's trainer? That means...oh!" He rushed back out and called to his friends. When they all got back, they stared in awe at the outfit.
"Clemont, Bonnie, did you know about this?" asked Ash.
"No...I' never have guessed that dad was the masked man that saved us twice." breathed Clemont.
"Here's a better question. Where's your dad, now?"
(Later)
Limone was on his motorbike, with Ampharos riding behind. I finally found it..what I have been searching for for months is now mine. He then noticed his kids along with Ash and Serena walking through Magenta Plaza. "Hey, kids!" he called. The group noticed, and just stood there. staring at him like he was an alien.
"How're you all doing? I heard about your battle yesterday Ash and Clemont. It sounded amazing...what's up kids?"
"Dad, we need to talk." raged Bonnie.
'What about?" asked Limone, sweat forming on his forehead.
"Come back with us to the shop. We'll discuss what we need to talk about there."
(Back at the Shop)
"Alright kids, what's going on?" asked Limone.
"What's going on? What's going on is that you're the person who saved my life. Twice!" muttered Ash.
"Huh?" asked Limone, hoping his kids would buy it. He then watched as Ash pulled something out of his bag. It was his mask.
"We found this in a secret room while we were looking for you, dad." said Clemont.
"Why did you never tell us?" asked Serena.
"...I didn't want you kids put in danger. The duties of being Blaziken Mask have put me through so much danger, I figured that if you four remained ignorant, you would never get hurt...and then there's the OTHER problem…"
"What other problem?" asked Ash.
"Blaziken Mask's popularity has fallen. No one remembers the fiery hero of Lumiose City anymore. Ampharos is constantly bored. Blaziken misses fighting crime and saving the innocents. So, the three of us took a little journey out to Azure Bay."
"Over by Route 12?" asked Serena.
"Yes, and while I was there, something amazing happened. I found the Mega Stone known as Ampharosite that allows Ampharos to Mega Evolve." sighed Limone. "I figured that I could return to my duties now after such an amazing event. He pulled out a small ring with a Mega Stone; Blazikenite; embedded in it, and put it on reluctantly. "I'm just worried that the people will never accept me again."
Ash stood up after this. "I know what to do."
"There's a first." muttered Bonnie, who received a glare at from her father.
"We just need to create a super-powerful villain for Blaziken Mask to defeat! It's perfect! But first, Limone, I need your help." said Ash.
"Anything, Ash." replied Limone.
"I need you to create a Mega Lucario outfit similar to the one you made for Blaziken Mask."
"Mega Lucario?" replied Limone uncertainly.
"Lucario, I choose you!" exclaimed Ash, calling his Fighting-type out. "You're not the only the only with Mega Evolution capabilities. My Mega Ring has Lucarionite embedded in it. It's so Lucario can Mega Evolve. Now that I think about, Serena, you and Absol can help too! I've got a great idea…"
(That Night)
"Someone, help!" cried Bonnie cheesily, running after a man in a strange outfit. The man turned around to face Bonnie. Unbeknownst to the crowd, it was Ash wearing a leather, somewhat tight-fitting full-body Mega Lucario outfit with the black mask that appeared when Lucario Mega Evolved and a blue cloak. Ash also had his back hair ponytailed and dyed red to represent Mega Lucario's ears. He had been dubbed "The Aura Thief". "That man took my Dedenne!"
"Ha! Little girl, you mean MY Dedenne now! Lucario, appear!" shrieked Ash insanely, while calling his jackal out. 'Use Aura Sphere now!" Lucario threw the cyan ball of power straight at the ground right in front of Bonnie, aiming to blind her, but it appeared to the crowd, as though it would hit Bonnie dead on.
Suddenly, a massive Flamethrower intercepted the attack, destroying it, and nearly hitting Lucario, too. The crowd looked up to the near top of Prism Tower, and saw Blaziken Mask and Mega Blaziken, their backs to the full moon.
"DON'T YOU HURT THAT GIRL! GIVE HER POKEMON BACK!" roared Blaziken Mask, the two of them landing on the ground, safely.
Suddenly, the two jumped back as a Psycho Cut energy slash nearly hit them. Up on a gazebo, a woman stood with an Absol. It was Serena in disguise, dubbed "Pandora".
"About time you showed up Pandora!" called The Aura Thief (Ash).
"Sorry. I was getting into position." replied Pandora (Serena).
"You two are working together, then? More fun then." sneered Blaziken Mask.
"It's actually convenient you showed up. We only took the Dedenne to get you to show up." mocked The Aura Thief.
"What?" recoiled Blaziken Mask.
"Here you go, girl." The Aura Thief tossed Dedenne to Bonnie, who ran off, 'crying'.
"You're Mega Blaziken looks strong. Let see how strong you think OUR Pokemon are when THEY'VE Mega Evolved!" yelled Pandora.
Pandora and The Aura Thief then revealed something very shocking. On Pandora's neck was a Mega Necklace with Absolite equipped. On The Aura Thief's wrist was a Mega Ring with Lucarionite equipped. The two tapped the stones, and blinding lights appeared, engulfing Lucario and Absol.
Clemont, who was in the crowd, then pushed a button and caused a bunch of lights to explode and a fierce wind to push against Blaziken Mask. The lights faded. In the place of Absol, was a Pokemon with a wicked sharp, curved scythe horn and what appeared to be stark white wings. In Lucario's place was a massive red, blue and silver jackal with a black mask of fur. It's iron-like tail had turned into a massive gold, furry tail. Lucario's ears now floated around it's ears with a strange aura-power energy.
Mega Lucario and Mega Absol had appeared.
This completely 'shocked' Blaziken Mask, while Mega Blaziken growled in rage. "This won't be easy, but you won't defeat me you thugs! Mega Blaziken, use Flamethrower!"
"Dodge it Mega Lucario and use Aura Sphere!"
"Dodge it Mega Absol and use Night Slash!"
The two dodged with extreme precision, and attacked. Mega Blaziken was slashed by a razor-sharp black blade of energy that surrounded Absol's scythe. It was then struck with a massive Aura Sphere, outlined in gold.
"Get it together and use Sky Uppercut!" called Blaziken Mask. Mega Blaziken's fist, covered in blue power, quickly struck Mega Absol, dealing lots of damage, but it then took a combined fusion attack of Metal Claw infused with Psycho Cut energy.
Mega Blaziken dropped to a knee, but quickly recovered and used Giga Impact, striking Mega Absol yet again, who countered with Megahorn. Mega Lucario missed with Ice Punch, and took a ThunderPunch to the stomach.
All three Pokemon were nearly out of energy, but Mega Blaziken got back up again. "Finish with a combination of Giga Impact, ThunderPunch and Sky Uppercut at the same time!" Mega Blaziken became surrounded in the golden light of Giga Impact, while one fist took on the power of Sky Uppercut, and the other of ThunderPunch. The triple combination attack decimated Mega Lucario and Mega Absol, knocking the two out.
"No! Mega Absol, return!" whined Pandora.
"So close! Retreat, Mega Lucario!" growled The Aura Thief. "That didn't go well. We'll be back Blaziken Mask!" The Aura Thief (Ash) then created a shield of opaque aura, obscuring the two from view. (Note: Ash is wearing an amplifier that taps into his aura powers and intensifies them, allowing Ash to use Aura stronger than in M08.) The two had disappeared when the energy shield collapsed.
"Great job, Mega Blaziken." prided Blaziken Mask. The crowd then erupted into massive cheers, and even a few "I love you Blaziken Mask!"'s were heard.
Blaziken Mask merely smiled, and he and Mega Blaziken jumped off into the distance.
(Next Morning)
"Take a look at today's headline kids!" called Limone. Ash and the gang were surprised to see the headline, entitled 'Blaziken Mask Blazes to Amazing Victory'. "You four made me feel great about what I do. Thanks, especially you Ash! If you want, you and Serena can keep the outfits I made for you two. They suit you. Just don't use them for actual crime. Use them in the same way I use mine."
"Thank you Limone, for you kind words...as well as saving my life three weeks ago." replied ash gratefully.
"We'll be seeing you daddy!" squealed Bonnie.
"Bye, Limone!" said Serena cheerfully.
"See ya' dad." grinned Clemont.
And so! Our heroes have brought back the fire of Limone's alter-ego Blaziken Mask! Now that Lumiose City's fiery protector is back on duty, it's onward to Laverre City for Ash's 6th gym battle!
