The Ultimate Quest to Victory!
Author's Notes: Here is the fourth chapter of this story, enjoy!
Chapter Four: Team Rocket Strikes!
As we left our heroes last time, they have stop and camp out somewhere at Route Four for the night. The morning sun is up and shining and our heroes are now at Lumiose City to visit Professor Sycamore.
Professor Sycamore's Lab (10:38 a.m.)
The group enters the lab and they are welcome by Sophie who she leads them to Professor Sycamore in the garden.
Professor Sycamore: Ahh what a surprise to see everyone how was the Santalune Gym Ash?
Ash: Great, I won my first badge for the Kalos League.
Professor Sycamore: That's great to know.
Serena: I also challenge the gym and won with Ash in a double battle.
Professor Sycamore: Well congratulations, follow me everyone. I have found something very interesting that all of you might like to see.
The group follows the professor inside his research office and he showed them some sort of tree with an X on the middle of the tree.
Ash: What is that?
Professor Sycamore: This tree is known as the Tree of Life and this ancient tree has something to do with legendary Pokémon called Xerneas. Not much known about this Pokémon but I do know that it haves the ability to bring things or people back to life.
Clemont: That sounds amazing.
Professor Sycamore: Indeed and I hope I can be able to gain more knowledge about Xernea while studying this tree.
Serena: I have heard of stories of another legendary Pokémon which is the opposite of Xerneas ability.
Professor Sycamore: Ahh yes Yveltal, The Destruction Pokémon, and a very dangerous Pokémon for a Pokémon or a person to encounter. When its tail and wings are glowing red, that is when it's absorbing the life force of the living. But enough of that, so where are you all going next?
Ash: We're heading to Cyllage City for the next gym.
Professor Sycamore: Well since you two are here, how about you challenge the Lumiose Gym here?
Ash: I went before but I got kick out for not having four gym badges.
Serena: That's awful for a gym kicking you out like that.
Ash: Me and Pikachu both got zap and then we fell through a hole but luckily both Clemont and Bonnie saved us from falling.
Professor Sycamore: I see, well since you are on your way to Cyllage City. How about you all visit the Parfum Palace and research the statues of the legendary Pokémon, Reshiram and Zekrom?
"Reshiram and Zekrom?" Everyone said except for Ash.
Professor Sycamore: Yes, their legendary Pokémon.
Ash: …and they are from the Unova region which is their origin region.
Professor Sycamore: Exactly Ash, since you were there yourself. How about you tell us about them.
Ash: Okay, so before Unova was Unova. There used to be a king with two twin sons and both of them had different paths. One is the path of Truth while the other is the path of Ideals. What the king did for them to have guidance is to have his own legendary Pokémon named Kyurem to split into two different Pokémon. Reshiram and Zekrom, each prince received their own respected dragon. Reshiram, the dragon of Truth and Zekrom, the dragon of Ideals. After certain time after the separation of Kyurem, the two princes wage war with each other and at the end with both of them confronting for the last time. Their dragon Pokémon were both defeated and both legendary Pokémon turn into stones to enter a deep sleep.
Bonnie: Whatever happen to Kyurem?
Ash: Kyurem resides somewhere at the north of Unova from what I have heard.
Bonnie: …and the two dragons?
Ash: I heard that two trainers have tamed the dragons for themselves and are now receiving guidance from them as of now.
Clemont: It would be nice to meet them and why are there statues at the Parfum Palace since their place of origin is Unova?
Professor Sycamore: That's why I wanted you all to find out yourselves and do some research. I'll be seeing you four there in a couple of days but in the meantime I'll be continuing my research of the Tree of Life. Now if you may excuse, I'm going to feed the Pokémon in the garden.
Bonnie: Oh can I feed them for you Professor?
Professor Sycamore: Why of course you may.
Bonnie: Yay!
Serena: I'll come too.
Both Bonnie and Serena follow Sycamore to the garden while Clemont ask Ash about the trainers of the legendary Pokémon of Unova.
Ash: Well I only know a mysterious trainer named N who tamed Zekrom. He also can hear the inner voices of Pokémon and truly loves Pokémon.
Clemont: Amazing and I'm guessing you have met him?
Ash: Yeah I have, I had a great time in Unova.
Clemont: What kind of Pokémon have you caught when you were in Unova?
Ash: Let's see I caught Unfezant, Oshawott, Pignite, Snivy, Leavanny, Boldore, Krookodile, Palpitoad, and Scraggy.
Clemont: Huh what's that noise?
Ash and Clemont looks around and they see a Chespin behind a plant pot eating macrons that were made by Serena.
Ash: Hey aren't those the macrons that Serena made?
Clemont: Hey do you think you can back those macrons for us?
Chespin was startled and it grabs more of Serena's macrons and runs away.
Clemont: Let's go follow it.
Ash: Right.
Meanwhile at the Pokémon garden of Professor Sycamore's lab.
Bonnie: I never seen a Zigzagoon before.
Professor Sycamore: That Zigzagoon was given to me by a trainer from Hoenn.
Serena: Excuse Professor, but I ask a question about Mega Evolution.
Professor Sycamore: Oh what will that be?
Serena: In order for a Pokémon to mega evolve, it needs a certain stone for the trainer, correct?
Professor Sycamore: Yes.
Serena: Where can I find one of those stones for mega evolution?
Professor Sycamore: Well there's a Mega Evolution guru living in Shalour City, maybe you should the guru once you and your friends have arrived there. He'll explain everything to you and take this. This is the Key Stone, this is for the trainer to wear in order to mega evolve a Pokémon.
Serena: Thank you so much.
Everyone turned their attention around them as they hear a vehicle driving.
An armored truck came crashing through the wall of the laboratory and the Pokémon inside the garden begin running.
Everyone is shocked from what just happen.
Professor Sycamore: hat in the world is going on?
Jessie: Prepare for trouble!
James: And make it double!
Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!
James: To unite all peoples within our nation!
Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
James: To extend our reaches to the stars above!
Jessie: Jessie!
James: James:
Jessie: Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!
James: Surrender now or prepare to fight!
Meowth: Meowth that's right!
Wobbufett: Wobbufett!
Professor Sycamore: It's you three again!
Serena: Who are they?
Professor Sycamore: They were the one responsible for Garchomp's rampage a few days ago here.
Bonnie: …and they were the ones who try to still Pikachu and Bunnelby when me and Clemont first met Ash and Pikachu.
Professor Sycamore: Why are you here?
Jessie: We're here for all of your information on Mega Evolution.
Professor Sycamore: Mega Evolution? I have no idea what you're talking about.
James: Don't play tricks on us, we all know everything by spying.
Meowth: Grab them!
Jessie and James have Professor Sycamore, Serena and Bonnie tied up and Team Rocket got back in the armored truck and drove away.
Chespin is being chased by Ash and Clemont and they saw the truck drove away.
Clemont: What happen here?
Ash: I don't know but let's go see outside.
Ash and Clemont sees the armored truck and drove out of the lab and Ash calls out his Fletchling to follow it.
Sophie: What happen here?
Ash: I don't know but I think is has something to do with the truck and drove out of the lab's garden.
Sophie: I go call Officer Jenny.
Ash: Got it, let's go follow Fletchling.
Clemont: Okay then.
Chespin sees Ash and Clemont following Fletchling and he decides to follow the two trainers without being notice.
In the interest of time
As Ash and Clemont give chase on the truck, they see it finally stop in some sort of warehouse.
Ash: Follow me and try to not make any noises.
Clemont: Don't worry I won't.
Chespin finds Ash and Clemont and it surprises them.
Clemont: What are you doing here Chespin? (Clemont whispered)
Chespin: Ches Chespin!
Clemont: Huh, you want to sneak inside and free the girls and the professor?
Chespin nodded in agreement and Clemont allowed it to sneak inside the warehouse.
James: Now give us the information on Mega Evolutions or let's see what will happen.
Professor Sycamore: The memory card is in the right pocket of my lab coat.
Serena: Professor you didn't have to do that.
Professor Sycamore: Well I didn't had a choice, the two of you are more important that the memory card.
James inserted the memory card into his laptop and transferring all of the mega evolution data to the Team Rocket's database at the Team Rocket HQ at Kanto.
James: Done.
Jessie: Good work, looks like our work here is done and while we're leaving, we'll be taking your Fennekin and Dedenne from you two.
Serena: No please bring back Fennekin.
Bonnie: (sniff) Dedenne!
Ash: Fletchling use Steel Wing!
Fletchling cut lose the two Pokémon.
Ash: Great work Fletchling!
Fletchling: Fletchling!
Chespin comes out and use its Pin Missle at Team Rocket and destroys their balloon.
Team Rocket: Team Rocket is blasting off again!
Wobbufett: Wobbuwabba!
Ding!
Ash and Clemont freed the three from the chairs and both Serena and Bonnie are happy that Fennekin and Dedenne are okay.
Professor Sycamore: Thank you Ash and Clemont. Good timing.
Ash: It's no problem at all.
Everyone headed back to the lab where Chespin took a liking towards Clemont.
Professor Sycamore: Seems Chespin really has open up to you Clemont. Would you like to take Chespin with you in your journey?
Clemont: I don't know.
Bonnie: Brother, can we let him come with us please?
Clemont:Hmm sure, Chespin welcome to the team.
Chespin smiles and Professor Sycamore gave Chespin's Pokéball to Clemont to recall him in the ball.
Professor Sycamore: You are very welcome and also be aware of this sinister group known as Team Flare, they have been on the news lately and they are trouble.
Clemont: Okay thanks for the heads up.
Ash: Let's go Clemont, onwards to Cyllage City.
Ash and friend leave the lab and they are now on their way to Route Five.
Serena: Hey how about we head over to Lysandre's Café first?
