Chapter 4: The Creature of Nature

(Outside of Castle DeDeDe)

Kirby, Ash, Stephan, Bianca, Taranza, N, Rotom'dex, Robobot, and Team Rocket arrived at the gates of King DeDeDe's castle, but it looked like a bunch of huge vines were growing from the other side of the castle walls. Escargoon rushed out the door with all of his colors turning white, his heart was pumping like crazy, and with a look of pure horror on his face.

Escargoon- Holly shit! Holly shit! Holly ****ing shit!

Then Escargoon noticed Kirby and the others standing right in front of him. His colors slowly returned after that as Ash and Kirby looked at Escargoon with confusion.

Kirby- Uh…Escargoon, is everything alright?

Escargoon- You! It's your fault this is happening, Kirby! You convinced his majesty to let the people of the sky take refuge at the castle and that's why Sectonia is attacking! And worse, that creature of nature's giant vines almost ripped my shell off as I was making my way to the exit!

Kirby- I returned with reinforcements.

Escargoon- Well I'm running for my god damn life! MOMMY!

Then Escargoon began running away like little baby into the distance while screaming like a woman.

James- You know, for a snail, he runs very fast.

N- Hey Taranza, I have noticed you're still injured. Sure, Kirby has lent you Robobot, but still, getting yourself involved when such bad wounds haven't healed yet?

Taranza- It's personal between me and Sectonia. You see…we used to be best friends long ago. I once gave her a strange mirror as a present, but that mirror turned out to be cursed. The more Sectonia looked into it, the more that mirror warped her mind. Turning her into the monster she is today. I thought at least some of my old friend was still there and I continued to serve her loyally. But when the people of Floralia used the Dreamstalk to bring the hero to the world below to Floralia and I mistaken DeDeDe for he chosen hero…she tried to kill me. I knew then and there…the Queen Sectonia I once called my friend…was no more…and all that was left was a monster. I am partly to blame for this. And it's my responsibility to put an end to her.

Suddenly, before Taranza even knew it, Jessie, James, and Meowth climbed up Robobot to reach the cockpit and gave Taranza a hug with tears pouring down their eyes.

James- Such a sad story!

Jessie- To be betrayed by someone you cared about and trusted!

Meowth- The pain that must've caused you!

Taranza- I appreciate your sympathy…but I'm still very sore from when Sectonia almost beat me to a pulp while trying to defend the people of Floralia…

(Inside the castle walls)

Waddle De's were fending off some of Queen Sectonia's monsters while trying to defend the castle. But out of nowhere, Celibi appeared in the sky and created these enormous vines to jump out of the ground and attack the Waddle De's. But then Ash's Charizard and Pignite were called out of their poke'balls.

Ash- Charizard and Pignite, flamethrower!

Charizard- (Roar)

Pignite- Pig…NITE!

The flames burned through the vines and freed the Waddle De's. Celibi looked down and noticed Ash and his friends.

Celibi- You…so we meet again. I was really hoping you wouldn't be involved, Ash.

Bianca- Ash- You've met Celibi before.

Ash- Yeah. This one member of Team Rocket who went by the Iron Masked Marauder tried to take control of Celibi's power and almost killed Celibi in the process.

Celibi- And I am truly grateful for the rescue, Ash. That's why I must apologize our reunion be under such harsh conditions.

Ash- Why are you helping Queen Sectonia?

Celibi- I'm sure you've already heard about the epidemic happening in Unova. Like Reshiram, I can't sit by and let them suffer like that. And if her antidote cured Reshiram, it can cure everyone else she's poisoned. But she tells us to help her reclaim her kingdom before she'll give Unova that antidote to everyone. But I'd suggest you flee, Ash. If Sectonia finds out you're here to stop her, she'll order me to eliminate you. And I can't do that after how you risked your life to save mine.

Ash- Sorry, Celibi. I'm not going anywhere without that cure. We should be working together against Sectornia instead of this!

Celibi- She has the antidote locked in a safe in her castle back on Floralia and Reshiram and I can't open it. I'm sorry too, Ash…I will wound, but not kill.

Ash- So be it…Charizard!

Charizard- (Roar)

Ash pulled out his keystone and activated it.

Ash- Keystone, listen to my heart! Beyond evolution! Mega Evolve!

Charizard was engulfed by a bright light and when the light faded, Charizard turned into Mega Charizard.

Mega Charizard- (ROAR)

Celibi- Mega Evolution…you've certainly learned some new tricks since we last met in Johto. But you'll need more than that to beat me.

Ash- Charizard, dragon claw! Pignite, flame charge! Pikachu, quick attack!

Ash's Poke'mon charged for Celibi, but Celibi instantly vanished before the attacks could hit. Then Celibi appeared right behind them and used grass knot to make more giant vines appear and sent them after Ash's Poke'mon.

Ash- Charizard, stop those vines with fire blast!

Mega Charizard- (ROAR)

Mega Charizard's fire blast incinerated the grass naught, but Celibi appeared right next to Mega Charizard and used psychic to knock Mega Charizard into a wall.

Stephan- I didn't know Celibi could teleport.

Ash- Not exactly. More like time warp.

Rotom'dex- Celibi is known as the time traveling Poke'mon and can warp to different moments in time at will. That might explain why Celibi is able to appear all over the place.

Stephan- Then I say it's time we join in the action! Sawk, Zebstika, Liepard, come on out!

Bianca- Emboar, Minccino, Escavalier, help out too!

Stephan and Bianca called out their Poke'mon to help out Ash's Poke'mon fight Celibi.

Stephan- Liepard, shadow claw! Sawk, karate chop! Zebstika, wild charge!

Liepard- (Meow)

Sawk- Sawk!

Zebstika- Stika!

Liepard swung its claw at Celibi, but Celibi vanished again and Liepard hit Pignite by mistake. Celibi reappeared again, but Jessie's Mimikyu jumped Celibi from above.

Jessie- Mimikyu, fairy type Z-Move! Let's Snuggle Forever!

Mimikyu put its entire disguise over Celibi and it looked and sounded like they were roughhousing under there. Suddenly, there was an explosion and when the smoke cleared, Celibi was freed for Mimikyu and Mimikyu was slammed against the wall.

Celibi- You'll need more than Mega Evolution or a Z-Move to beat me.

Celibi surrounded itself with leaves and fired leaf storm at Pikachu. However, the leaves were suddenly being sucked up by Kirby's inhale before they could hit Pikachu. Kirby inhaled the leaves and transformed into Leaf Kirby.

Leaf Kirby- You're right. It will take team work. Just like how we used team work to bring down a god like Tabuu.

Leaf Kirby punched the ground and before Celibi even knew it, a wall of leaves uppercuted Celibi in the stomach and knocked Celibi to the ground.

Bianca- Did Kirby just evolve?

Leaf Kirby- I told you, I'm not a Poke'mon! Ash's talent is training his Poke'mon. My talent is to literally transform into whatever I eat.

Celibi fired a few shadow balls at Leaf Kirby, but Leaf Kirby surrounded himself with a few leaves to block the attacks. Celibi warped right behind Leaf Kirby and was about to attack. However, Robobot, being piloted by Taranza, sucker punched Celibi and knocked it into the wall. Robobot was about to try and punch Celibi again, but Robobot was stopped in its tracks by Celibi's psychic.

Taranza- You think you're the only one who can play that game? Try this one for size!

Then a white string from each of Taranza's six hand lashed out and each string attached itself to a limb on Celibi's body. Celibi's eyes began to glow purple and Celibi was acting like it was resisting something in its head.

Celibi- What…happening…

Taranza- Sort of like how a puppeteer controls his puppets. I used this trick to control DeDeDe once. Legendary Poke'mon or not, I have control of your body.

Celibi- We'll see about that…

Celibi was barely moving as Celibi was resisting Taranza from taking over his mind.

Taranza- This guy is putting up more of fight than I thought! Kirby, Ash, I don't know how much longer I can hold Celibi!

Bianca- Hold on, Taranza! Emboar, flamethrower! Escavalier, X-scissor! Minccino, ice beam!

Emboar- Emboar!

Escavalier- Lier!

Minccino- Cino!

The three attacks hit Celibi, but they didn't do much damage to Celibi.

Leaf Kirby- That's it! Bianca, have your Minccino throw ice beam at Robobot!

Bianca- What?!

Leaf Kirby- Trust me on this one!

Bianca- Ok…Minccino, use ice beam and aim for Robobot!

Minccino fired ice beam and Robobot scanned the ice bean and turned into Ice Robobot.

Taranza- Wow! I didn't know Robobot had your copy ability too!

Leaf Kirby- Robobot was sort of created from my life data when the Haltmen Works Company scanned my DNA. Now let Celibi have it!

Taranza- Right!

Then Ice Robobot blasted Celibi with a large ice blast and Celibi was completely frozen in a block of ice.

Ash- Sorry about this, Celibi. Once we've taken down Seconia, we'll unfreeze you.

Ash, Stephan, Bianca, and Jessie returned their Poke'mon back to their poke'balls and they turned their attention to the castle.

N- If Celibi was attacking from out here, then Reshiram must be inside with Sectonia.

Leaf Kirby- Then let's hurry and take her down, before she causes more trouble for us!

As Kirby, Ash, Rotom'dex, Taranza, Robobot, Stephan, Bianca, and Team Rocket began moving toward the castle, Celibi began to twitch a little from underneath that block of ice Celibi was frozen inside of.
