On their way through the lands before arriving in a country plagued with flames and lava ponds all over.
"Wow. Its feels so hot." Weiss groaned.
"Only natural. It is a fire kingdom after all." Oichi said.
"So, how do we do this? Like siege battle, or pokemon battle straight up or..?" Rainbow asked.
"It is a battle, nothing more." Nagamasa said arriving at Ignis where a boy in yellow and white with a face resembling Ash's and with a Pikachu on his head.
"So, you're the guys who sent our pals packing? I'm Hanbei, but you probably knew that." he said.
The out came a man in a cloak with a pale face and black and white hair, resembling Gundham.
"And I am Kambei, you have come to see Lord Hideyoshi about the attack on Aurora, correct?" he asked.
"Hey look Gundham. Its your.. Uh…impostor who takes the appearance of the one true forbidden one." Hope said.
"Yes. He does bare a striking resemblance to me." Gundham said.
"We shall take you to our lord now." Kambei said as they walked into the castle to see a man looking like Flux in red and orange and gold sitting in a throne.
"So, you are the ones who come? I am Hideyoshi, ruler of Ignis." he said.
"You're the ruler?" Hope asked.
"Yes. Why? Is there something wrong?" Hideyoshi asked.
"I guess not. We want to talk about surrender." Jexi said.
"Surrender? Ahahaha! Surely you joke. I should be the one asking you to surrender your weak country over to me." Hideyoshi said.
"What? No way! We're not surrendering to a loser like you!" Hope shouted as Hanbei and Kambei gasped.
"Loser am I? Fine. If that's how you wish to do it. We will fight. My army with trounce yours by margins!" Hideyoshi said.
"Oh, is that how you wanna go, huh?" Hope said. "Bring it!"
"Insolent fool! Take them!" Kambei said as hundreds of warriors came out.
They met on the battlefield as fire pokemon aplenty were out along with the two warriors from yesterday. The three main warlords were left.
"Take them out so we can sleep, Pikachu!" Hanbei said.
"Lampent, curse these fools for invading." Kambei said.
"Chimchar, we shall conquer it all together!" Hideyoshi said.
"We can take them!" Luffy said charging in before a pillar of flames popped up.
"Hahahaha! Did I forget the mention the fire pillars and the magma? With these, you can't even get to me! And Chimchar and our other fire pokemon aren't affected by it at all!" Hideyoshi said.
"These three pokemon look awfully familiar…" Hope said.
"Pikachu, Lament and Chimchar… yup, those are the same pokemon we met in our Universe's Ignis." Aelita said.
"You mean to say youve saw our allies before?" Kambei asked.
"Well, not exactly. But any way, you gonna attack or what?" Hope said.
"Lampent, Flamethrower!" Kambei said.
"Chimchar, Ember!" Hideyoshi said as fires were shot out. "Your target is the boy with the pink hair!"
The flames swathed natsu.
"Bad move. Fire isnt gonna do anything on natsu." Happy said. "Especially when he can eat the stuff."
"Hah! Eat raw flames? Preposterous!" Hideyoshi said.
"I have never heard such foolishness." Kambei said.
The flames were then getting sucked in to natsus mouth as he ate all of it.
"Impossible!" Kambei said.
"Wow. Some new kind of freak." Hanbei said unphased. "Whatever, Pikachu, hit him with Thunderbolt."
Pikachu sparked as it launched a bolt of electricity at Natsu, hitting him dead on, but only taking a minimal amount of damage.
"And he's not effected by the lightning either? What sort of monster is this?" Hideyoshi wondered.
"A lighting flame dragon slayer." Hope said. "DOnt you forget that. Oichi, Mitsunari, Kiyomasa, hit em!"
"Jigglypuff, Double Slap!" Oichi said.
"Fraxure, use Dragon Claw!" Kiyomasa said.
"Pawniard, Assurance!" Mitsunari said.
The three pokemon moved onward as they battled with the large army of pokemon before them. Although the fire defeated Pawniard, Fraxure and Jigglypuff continued on strong against the army.
"Our army appears to be dwindling." Hideyoshi said. "I did not expect this power from a trash country."
"Call it the luck of under dogs. Now, you gonna give up nicely?" Hope said.
"I'd lisent to him. Though as a rival warlord, I woudnt mind this battle continuing and defeating you here and now…" Nagasama said.
"My lord, considering our position, surrender seems like the only choice." Kambei said.
"Fine. You can have Ignis. But you have not seen the last of us." Hideyoshi said as he and his retainers left with their pokemon.
"Darn, I was hoping to get them as allies." Hope said before looking in a cave and seeing a man with a Bastiodon. He had long blond hair and yet bore a strong resemblance to All Might.
"Well done, noble warrior. I saw the battle from inside the cave. I am a traveling performer. My name...is Keiji!" he said.
"Uh… does this mean youre gonna help us? I mean, that Bastiodon looks like the perfect guy to block attacks for teammates, being defensive." Rainbow asked.
"Of course. I shall lend you all my aid in the conquest." Keiji said.
"Okay, so, where do we go next?" Lucy asked.
"There are two countries south of Aurora. Greenleaf, ruled by Motonari and Fontaine ruled by Motochika. They do not have retainers." Oichi said.
"I think greenleaf would be a good option first." Hope said.
"Why is that?" Nagasama asked.
"If we go for Fontaine first, then Greenleaf, it'd be an easy win for Greenleaf considering the typing. But if we took Greenleaf first…" Hope started.
"Greenleaf, which is dominantly grass types, can supply us with some grass types to help with Fontaine, who specialize in water types! Excellent strategy, young warrior!" Keiji said.
"The journey to Greenleaf will take two days. So we best rest and revel in our victory." Nagamasa said.
"Sounds good to me. I'm gonna get myself a fire type to use." Indigo said. She searched the castle as the others celebrated. "Hmm gotta be some kind of-" Indigo said before seeing a black and red cat pokemon sleeping in a corner.
"Is that a Litten? Its one of the three Alola starters." Indigo said before it awoke and hissed at her. "Easy there. I'm not gonna hurt you." she said slowly approaching it. As soon as she got close, she began petting Litten as it let loose a loud purr as it rubbed against her. Indigo then picked it up. "I sense something between us, don't you?" she asked as Litten shook its head in agreement.
"Great. Cause were heading to green leaf." Indigo said.
