Chapter 7: Zygarde's True Colors
Most of the stadium was torn to pieces by those red vines and all of the people were running for their lives. Thanks to Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Link, Kirby, Sonic, Ty, Pit, and Shantae, there were no casualties during the evacuation. However, the red vines were coming and destroying just about everything in their path.
(Inside the stadium's hallways)
Ash, Alain, and Pikachu were crawling through the vines, searching for a way out and reunite with their friends.
Alain- Where's Mairin?!
Ash- During the finals, she said she wanted to stay out of your way.
Alain- She's always over thinking these things!
Ash- At a time like this, I guess I can ask. Is Mairin important to you?
Alain- Um…Uhh…yeah…
Ash- Let's go find her! We'll help you look!
(Outside the stadium)
Ash, Pikachu, and Alain saw got outside and saw it was just as much of a mess as inside the stadium.
Serena- Ash!
Ash looked and saw Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie running right towards them.
Ash- There you are!
Clemont- Are you all ok? Yeah, we're doing fine.
Bonnie- Ash, Squishy disappeared! It ran off somewhere!
Ash- What about Mario and the others?
Serena- They're fine. They all began evacuating everyone to safety after this nightmare started happening.
Suddenly, they heard Malva's voice on the loud speaker.
Malva- Creeping vines are overrunning the city. And there has been major damage centered around Prism Tower. Please avoid that area during evacuation.
Then Ash, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, and Alain looked at Prism Tower and saw what looked like a Zygarde, only it was red instead of green.
Clemont, what is that?!
Bonnie- Its glowing…
Alain- Could it be…Zygarde…
Serena- What do you mean?
Alain- Those vines are the work of Zygarde!
(In Lumiose City)
While all the people were running for their lives away from the red vines, Squishy was seen moving towards the Prism Tower.
Squishy- Respond! RESPOND!
Then Squishy transformed into a Zygarde 10% which looks like a green and black dog.
Squishy- You…what is it? Respond! RESPOND!
Then Squishy began rushing over towards Prism Tower.
(Back at the stadium)
Bonnie- Squishy is heading over to Prism Tower!
Clemont- Are you sure?
Then Bonnie began rushing away.
Clemont- Bonnie!
Ash- You guys go! We're going to catch up with you guys a little later.
Serena- What about you?
Ash- I'm going with Alain to find Mairin. We'll join you as soon as we find her!
Clemont- Hold on, Ash! Ty told me to give this to you!
Clemont pulled out a communicator.
Clemont- Mario and the others are using them to stay in contact with each other and you should carry one too. And don't worry, Ty gave me and Serena one as well!
Serena- Be careful, Ash…
Then Ash and Alain began rushing around the stadium to look for Mairin. Than Alain noticed Ash scratching the back of his head.
Alain- Something wrong?
Ash- For some reason, my head feels all itchy. Most of the day, there's been this damn itching feeling that won't seem to go away.
(Another part of the stadium)
Fire Mario and Fire Luigi were using their fire attacks to burn away all the vines that tried to attack as they were trying to protect the people.
Fire Mario- There's just no end!
Fire Luigi- Where the hell are they all coming from?!
Suddenly, one of those red vines emerged out of the ground grabbed Fire Luigi.
Fire Mario- Luigi!
Sawyer- Sceptile, use leaf blade!
Then Sawyer called out his Sceptile and it used leaf blade to cut up the red vine that attacked Fire Luigi. Then Fire Luigi got himself back onto the ground.
Fire Luigi- Thanks Sawyer.
Then Tierno, Trever, and Shauna appeared behind Sawyer. Tierno had his Blastoise out, Trever had his Charizard out, and Shauna had her Ivysaur out.
Sawyer- We're here to help in any way we can!
Fire Mario- Can you four clear a bath for the civilians to escape?
Tierno- Not a problem
Fire Mario pulls out a communicator and calls the others.
Fire Mario- We're starting to get people on our side out of here. How are things going over on your ends?
Monster Fire Kirby- Could be better…
(In another part of outside the stadium)
Monster Fire Kirby and Shantae were trying to burn the vine away, but more appear just as quickly as they burn them.
Shantae- We can't seem to get all of them!
Monster Fire Kirby- Shit! Not even my Monster Flame super ability is getting us anywhere!
More vines lunged at them and Monster Fire Kirby spat out a huge flame in the form of a large dragon and the vines were quickly incinerated. Then Monster Flame Kirby changed back into regular Kirby and almost collapsed from exhaustion.
Shantae- Kirby! Are you alright?
Kirby- I'm fine. Using any of my super abilities drains more of my energy than my regular copy powers.
(Another area outside the stadium)
Vines were jetting out at several more people. Suddenly, they all saw a blue blur just before they felt something grab them. In the blink of an eye, they were suddenly at the Poke'mon Center and more people were appearing there in the blink of an eye. After the vines grabbed nothing, Donkey Kong jumped from the sky and landed on the vines, crushing them. Then Sonic appeared in front of Donkey Kong.
Sonic- That was a close one, DK! Even I wasn't sure if I could reach those people in time before the vines did.
Donkey Kong- Did you at least get them all?
Sonic- I'll double check.
Then Sonic dashed off again.
(Another area outside the stadium)
Link and Ty were chopping down as many of the vines as they could with Link's Master Sword and Ty's boomerangs. Then Professor Sycamore appeared in the crowd.
Professor Sycamore- Everyone, that way!
As the people ran down the path Link and Ty just made, Link and Ty looked at Professor Sycamore.
Link- Good to see you're still in one piece, professor.
Professor Sycamore- No time for that! Where is Ash now?!
(In the skies above the stadium)
Winged Yoshi and Pit were flying as many people they could carry to safety in the air. Winged Yoshi would carry five people on his saddle, but Pit was barely able to carry two or three.
Pit- Flying is a little more difficult with passengers…
Winged Yoshi- Maybe Pit get saddle too.
Pit- I'm an angel, not a steed!
(At another section outside the stadium)
Jessie, James, and Meowth are swinging their camera equipment at vines that were coming towards them. Meanwhile, Malva was looking at Prism Tower in horror.
Jessie- This is crazy!
James- This doesn't appear to be a natural disaster!
Meowth- Get these things out of here!
Suddenly, more of those vines began to charge to them again. Just as Team Rocket were panicking, a blue blur dashed right passed them and they saw what looked like a blue buzz saw slice right through the vines. Then it turns out that was Sonic in his spin dash form. Sonic landed and Donkey Kong appeared right behind him.
Sonic- Why do news reporters always stuck in the middle of every danger?
Donkey Kong walks up to Malva.
Donkey Kong- Miss…now might not be the time to daydream…
Malva- Lysandre…
Then Sonic took a look at Jessie, James, and Meowth.
Sonic- Now I know why you three look familiar. You're that Team Rocket Ash told us about.
Meowth- So the twerp mentioned us?
Jessie- What did the twerp say?
James- That we're cunning and amazing Poke'mon thieves?
Sonic- More like weirdos.
Jessie, James, and Meowth nearly stumbled to the floor after hearing Sonic say that.
Then Malva began walking away.
Donkey Kong- Are you going somewhere?
Malva- I need to take care of something! You and the hedgehog should get back to helping those that could get hurt in this mess. As for you three, you're free to do what you want.
(In another area outside the stadium)
Ash and Alain spotted another group of people trying to get out of the stadium and Mairin was in that group.
Alain- Mairin!
Mairin heard Alain's voice and looked over to see Ash and Alain hushing towards them.
Mairin- Alain!
Before Ash and Alain could reach her, more vines shot out of the ground.
Alain- I'll save you! Charizard!
Alain called out his Charizard.
Alain- Charizard, dragon claw!
Alain's Charizard cut through some of the vines, but more appeared shortly after.
Ash- Pikachu, use iron tail!
Pikachu cut the vines like Alain's Charizard did, but the ground sprouted even more vines. Before Ash and Alain could attack the vines again, a sludge bomb attack almost hit them. Ash and Alain looked to the right and saw a Team Flare member named Celosia. Behind her was a dark and poison Poke'mon called Drapion.
Celosia- Ok, now pay attention! Are you finally ready to listen?
Ash- I know you! You were hunting for squishy!
Celosia- Wonderful. You remembered. But this time, I'm here for you.
Ash- Here for me?
Alain- What do you mean?!
Celosia- Lysandre's orders.
Then Celosia pulls out some kind of remote detonator button.
Celosia- Tell me something, have you been getting an uncomfortable itching feeling lately?
Celosia pushed the button and suddenly Ash felt like he was having a tumor in his head.
Alain- Ash?! What's wrong?!
Pikachu- Pika Pi!
Ash- Something…inside…my head…
Suddenly, these two plant-like tentacles shot out of the back of Ash's head, causing them to bleed a little bit. Ash's expression turned emostionless and his eyes became glowing red.
Celosia- The mind control seed is a success. Lysandre's new friend will be pleased to know it worked. You're Pikachu's tired. He should take a break now.
Before Pikachu knew it, Ash had punched Pikachu and knocked it out.
Alain- Stop this! This wasn't what we were collecting the Mega Evolution energy for! Lysandre said…
Celosia- Lysandre said we'd be making the world a better place. And that's exactly what we're doing, Alain. Now help us bring the boy to Lysandre at Prism Tower while that mind control seed is still take effect.
Alain glares at her.
(Back over where Sonic, Donkey Kong, and Team Rocket were)
Sonic and Donkey Kong had brought Team Rocket to an area that hadn't been attacked by the vines yet. And conveniently, there was a news crew helicopter parked there as well.
Sonic- Ok, you three should be safe to broadcast here for now.
Donkey Kong- But those vines could jump out at any moment.
James- Thanks. With Malva gone, someone has to keep the news running.
Sonic- Just remember we need that news crew chopper for the evacuation.
Then Meowth checked the camera equipment in chopper and he noticed that the broadcasting waves were being jacked. Suddenly, Lysandre's face appeared on every TV screen in Kalos, not just Lumiose City.
Lysandre- To my beloved Kalos regain and the entire world. I am Lysandre. Team Flare is with me to do my bidding. I have an announcement. We are here to remake the world. A new friend of mine as showed me how to change the world into a more perfect one…by destroying the old! And with his help, we were able to awaken the power of Zygarde. And Zygarde here will judge if you truly are worth saving. The discipline of this world has been lost. Humanity is out of control. We have forgotten how to share. Without sharing, people begin to steal from each other! When that happens, there is not enough for anyone. Like how my friend was robbed of his freedom many years ago. Only the chosen ones will move on to our bright future! We of Team Flare along with Zygarde and the powerful god who helped us will be the ones to create this new future!
Once Lysandre's broadcast stopped, Sonic and Donkey Kong looked at each other.
Sonic- We need to find Mario and the others right away, DK!
Donkey Kong- Agreed…
(At another area outside the stadum)
Mairin was looking at the TV screen and had a look of horror on her face.
Mairin- Lysandre…but why…
Then a Team Flare grunt appeared behind her.
Team Flare grunt- Mairin, we have orders from Lysandre to bring you to him right away.
Before the Team Flare grunt could grab her, a fireball was shot and knocked him away from Mairin. Mairin looked and saw Fire Mario and Fire Luigi.
Fire Mario- You need to learn some better manners pal. That's no way to treat a little girl.
Team Flare grunt- The Super Mario Brothers!
Then the Team Flare grunt called out a Poke'mon called Skorupi.
Team Flare grunt- Skorupi, poison sting!
Skorupi launched its attack, but Fire Mario and Fire Luigi's fireballs burnt right through it and knocked out Skorupi. The Team Flare grunt returned Skorupi to its poke'ball and ran away.
Mairin- Thank you Mario and Luigi!
Fire Luigi- You're welcome. Are you ok?
Just then Sonic and Donkey Kong rushed in and Donkey Kong was looking out of breath.
Donkey Kong- Sonic…do you have to run so fast…
Sonic- This is a crisis, Donkey Kong! We need to move fast right now! Mario, Luigi, I'm sure you've heard that broadcast!
Ty, Link, and Professor Sycamore arrived.
Ty- Who didn't, mate? Lysandre broadcasted all over Kalos!
Kirby and Shantae arrived as well.
Shantae- Looks like Pit was right about trouble happing here!
Then Pit and Yoshi arrived.
Pit- And we've got bigger problems! Lady Palutena just told me Lysandre has captured Ash! He's currently at Prism Tower!
Professor Sycamore- Oh no!
Fire Luigi- What should we do, bro?
Fire Mario- We need to get to Prism Tower and help Ash get out of his predicament for starters. We all better get a move on, like Sonic's speed!
Professor Sycamore- Wait! I'm coming too!
Mairin- Me too!
(At Prism Tower)
Alain arrived at Prism Tower and was greeted by Xerosic and four Primids.
Xerosic- Hello Alain. Lysandre's waiting.
Alain- What about Zygarde?! Why did you involve Ash?!
Primid- Lysandre will soon give you all the details.
Alain- And what are those things?
Xerosic- They're called Primids and they work for a new ally of Team Flare. He has generously allowed us to borrow some of his minions for our cause. Now then, you there! Please escort Alain to Lysandre on the roof.
Primid- Very well. Please follow me and if you want to talk to Lysandre.
Alain followed the Primid out of the room.
Xerosic- As for you three, get back to work!
Primids- SIR!
(Lumiose City)
Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena were trying to get through the chaos to reach Prism Tower. Clemont had his Luxray out and Serena had her Braixen out. They destroyed most of the vines it their way, but more appeared to take their place. Braixen and Luxray were getting tired. Suddenly, two more vines appeared behind them and were about to strike. Luckily, before the vines could reach them, a Poke'mon called Heliolisk appeared and hit the vine with dragon tail. Then Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie saw Clembot and Heliolisk and Clembot.
Clemont- Clembot!
Clembot- Yes. At your service.
Heliolisk- Helio!
Clemont- Clembot, I need your help now! I want to go to Prism Tower!
Clembot- Right away!
Then another vine appeared and tried to attack them. However, a Mega Evolved Blaziken destroyed the vine with blaze kick. Then they saw a man wearing a Blaziken mask over his face.
Blaziken Mask- That was a close one!
Serena and Bonnie at the same time- Blaziken Mask!
Blaziken Mask- I'm here now, so you all can relax.
Clemont- I think the Prism Tower is the source of all of this.
(At the roof of the Prism Tower)
Alain and the Primid arrived at the roof.
Primid- This is where you get off. I must be going.
After Alain exited the elevator, the Primid closed the door and the elevator descended. Then Alain saw Lysandre standing on the edge of the roof looking at all the chaos and destruction taking place.
Alain- Lysandre!
Lysandre- There you are. Alain, what do you think? Isn't it exquisite? Thanks to you, the system is complete.
Alain- But wait! It still isn't…
Lysandre- The world will be at piece just as I've been working toward. But of course, even I needed help with this. So I've actual came into contact with an actual god to help me control Zygarde. Zygarde represents all of our anger and rage.
Alain- You're destroying the city and hurting people! Is this really what you think world peace is about?! You said you're protecting us!
Lysandre- And I am. I'm only protecting…the chosen ones. My god cannot do the work himself so he asked me to do this.
Alain- You said it yourself you had to be strong to protect the world…is this what you meant by that?
Lysandre- You speak of the power to protect, but do you even know what it is you want to protect? A tomorrow that will be worse than today? By destroying the old, when a new more perfect world will emerge! Like the phoenix being reborn from its own ashes! Oh, and speaking of Ash…
Then part of the roof opened up and Ash and all of his Poke'mon had their arms and legs each locked in an orb of some kind that was also levitating in the air. Alain stood in horror as he saw Ash and his Poke'mon like this. Ash and his Poke'mon were unconscious, but the mind control seed was no longer taking effect on Ash, but there were two open wounds on the back of Ash's head.
(At the entrance to Prism Tower)
Clemont, Serena, Bonnie, Clembot, and Blaziken Mask arrived. There were more of those red vines around Prism Tower than anywhere else in Lumiose City or at the Kalos League stadium.
Clemont- This is horrible…
Blaziken Mask- First we secure the entrance. Use flamethrower!
Mega Blaziken was about to attack the vine, but a dark pulse attack came out of nowhere and hit Mega Blaziken. Standing by the entrance were two Team Flare members named Bryony and Aliana.
Aliana- Sorry but we can't allow that.
Bryony- This area is off limits to the likes of you.
Clemont- I'm the Gym Leader and own this Gym! I have the right to be here!
Bryony- Oh please…
Aliana- Yeah.
(Back at the roof of Prism Tower)
Ash was waking up and found that his arms and legs were locked up. So were his Poke'mon.
Ash- What am I doing like this?!
Ash struggled to move but nothing budged. Ash looked down and saw Greninja just below him, also with its arms and legs locked up in these mechanical orbs.
Ash- Greninja!
Pikachu- Pika!
Ash looked around and saw his other Poke'mon locked up in the same way he was in.
Ash- Pikachu! Are you guys ok?!
Lysandre- Hello, Ash.
Ash looked down and saw Alain and Lysandre.
Ash- Lysandre? Alain? What's going on?! Let us go!
Lysandre- Forgive me for your regrettably rough treatment…but I can't release you.
Then Ash noticed the red Zygarde standing next to Lysandre.
Ash- Zygarde?!
Ash turned to look at Lysandre and Alain again.
Ash- Alain, what's this about?!
Alain just turned his head to the side, refusing to look Ash directly in the eye.
Lysandre- You see Ash, I was originally ordered to eliminate the members of the Mario Brothers' Team such as yourself, but I believe you might be one of the chosen ones.
Suddenly, Squishy who was still in the 10% form of Zygarde arrived at the down to confront the red Zygarde.
Lysandre- M1, my god told me you were coming back to us.
Ash- Your god?!
Lysandre- Yes, Ash. As wealthy and resourceful as I am, even I couldn't have done all of this alone. And believe it or not, Ash…my god knows you…
Ash had a look of shock when he heard Lysandre tell him that. Ash got an idea as to who Lysandre was referring to, but he was hoping his guess was wrong.
Squishy- Wake up!
The red Zygarde launched a dragon pulse and knocked squishy back into the Zygarde cell form and off the Prism Tower. Then Squishy transformed into Zygarde 50% form just like the red Zygarde. Only Squishy remained green
Pikachu- Pika!
Ash- So Squishy is…is Zygarde…
Squishy- If you will not listen to me, I will use force! Ignorant fool!
Then both Zygarde's charged for each other and they both fell off the tower.
Lysandre- Yes, Zygarde is the legendary Poke'mon that watches over the world and punishes those dares to disrupt its order. You are witnessing the rage of Zygarde, as well as Team Flare. This world will start over again. Soon enough, the other Zygarde will come around to our way of thinking. Then…it will turn red with rage!
Ash- No! You're wrong! Squishy would never think that!
(Back at the entrance of Prism Tower)
Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, Clembot, and Blaziken Mask watched in shock as the two Zygarde's battled each other.
Bonnie- Squishy…
Bryony- Stop getting distracted!
Aliana: Druddigon, use dark pulse!
Druddigon launched its attack at Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, Clembot, and Blaziken Mask. Suddenly, a red glowing barrier appeared right in front of them. Then the dark pulse bounced right back Druddigon.
Bryony- What the?!
Aliana- What on earth just happened?!
Pit- Lady Palutena's power of reflect. It sends any projectile attack that hits it right back.
Then they all saw Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Link, Kirby, Sonic, Ty, Pit, Shantae, Professor Sycamore, and Mairin arrive on the scene.
Clemont- Professor Sycamore!
Bonnie- And the Mario Brothers too!
Bryony- What?! I thought…
Aliana- Guess Lysandre's new partner was right about how much of a pain in the ass those plumbers can be.
Bryony called out a Poke'mon called Liepard to help her fight.
Bryony- Liepard, use shadow claw!
Liepard leaped for them with its attack, but Link blocked with his shield. Then Link drew his Master Sword and used it to swat Liepard away from the group. After Liepard got back up, Yoshi wrapped his tongue around Liepard's body. Then Yoshi pulled Liepard in and had Liepard in his mouth. Then Kirby got behind Aliana's Druddigon and inhaled the large Poke'mon. Now both Yoshi and Kirby had a Poke'mon in their mouth, but didn't swallow.
Aliana- Hey, those are our Poke'mon!
Bryony- Spit them out right now!
Mario- Alright then, you heard the ladies.
Luigi- Yoshi, Kirby…
Then Yoshi and Kirby spat out Liepard and Druddigon and they crashed right into Aliana and Bryony, knocking them out.
Blaziken Mask- Wow, you Mario Brothers and your friends really are good in a tight spot.
Mario- Thanks, but who are you?
Bonnie- It's ok, Mario. He's a friend of ours.
Blaziken Mask- I'm known as Blaziken Mask and this is my partner, Blaziken.
Mega Blaziken- Blaze!
Mairin- Serena, have you seen Ash or Alain? I heard them say something about Prism Tower.
Serena- Not yet. I haven't seen them.
Mairin- I'm also worried about Chespee.
Serena looked at Mairin with worry and concern.
Shantae- This is quite a mess we're all in right now.
Pit- And Ash is still Lysandre's prisoner.
Sonic- Well Mario, you're the leader. So what are your orders?
Mario- We do need to save Ash and stop Lysandre, but we also need to regain control of Prism Tower. And then there's the threat of civilians getting hurt. So we might have to split up to complete each task.
Clemont- The Lumiose Gym is mine. Me and Clembot got that one!
Mario- Alright, but Ty should go with you.
Ty- I'm on it, Mario!
Clemont- You sure that's a good idea?
Mario- Ty's one of the best technicians in the world. If you're unable to get to your computer, we'll need another who's good with computers.
Ty- Trust me, mate! I'm more than capable of reprograming that system!
Serena- Mario, Mairin is still worried about Chespee who's still at Lysandre Labs. We should go and get her Poke'mon back.
Mario- It's still dangerous, because Team Flare is probably there. Luigi and Pit, you should go with them.
Luigi- Sure thing bro.
Professor Sycamore- I'll go too. I've got a car at the back of the labs.
Mario- Link, your Master Sword is the best thing against these vines. Shantae, your magic might also be needed to get people out of danger. Donkey Kong, if there are some people trapped in debris, you're the only one strong enough to get them out of there. And Yoshi, some people might be too injured to walk and you're the best at carrying people with your saddle. So you four protect the civilians.
Link- Roger that!
Clemont- Hold on one moment.
Then Clemont put Bonnie on Yoshi's saddle.
Bonnie- Clemont?
Clemont- Yoshi, bring Bonnie to safety and don't let her off until it's safe.
Yoshi- Yoshi do!
Blaziken Mask- I better go with them then if you're putting Bonnie with Yoshi.
Kirby- And what about you, me, and Sonic?
Mario looked up at Prism Tower and grinned a bit.
Mario- We're gonna get our friend back.
(Back at the top of Prism Tower)
Lysandre looks towards the destruction.
Lysandre- Alain, this is all thanks to you. Mega Evolution gives us the power to control Zygarde. The Mega Evolution energy you've gathered has proven to be useful in destroying this imperfect world. Just look! There is no tomorrow for this world. When the sun rises, it will be brand new! How beautiful the end of this world is! We are truly taking the first step towards peace!
Alain dropped to his knees and began pounding the ground.
Alain- Mairin…Chespin…is this the reason I had all those battles…ALL OF THEM FOR THIS?!
Ash- Alain…
Lysander- For Chespee's sake…and for Mairin's sake too…your wish had pure intent. A truly noble wish indeed. Perhaps I shale ask my god for another favour after we've destroyed this imperfect world.
Then Lysandre turned his attention towards Ash and his Poke'mon.
Lysandre- So Ash, I'm going to use your bond phenomenon in service to my new world! You're able to gain that powerful strength without a Keystone purely through your bond. When I saw that, I was thrilled. Ash, you have shown me that there are limitless possibilities with Poke'mon still! And I want that power!
Then these two small flying machines appeared and they flew up to Ash and his Poke'mon. Then they shot a red beam of energy at Ash and Greninja.
Lysandre- The energy from this light is powerful enough to control Zygarde. Now Ash! Now Greninja! I'm also going to control your bond phenomenon!
As the light was blasting Ash and Greninja, Ash was struggling to resist being controlled.
Lysandre- From this point on…both of you will answer to me.
Pikachu- PIKA!
Alain- Lysandre stop this! You're hurting Ash and Greninja!
Lysandre- I'm giving them a better fate than my god wanted. As I said before, he wanted me to kill Ash as well as any other member of the Mario Brothers' team I come across. This way, he can live and my god won't get angry about it.
Pikachu and the rest of Ash's Poke'mon struggled against their restraints in a desperate attempt to free themselves and save Ash. Just then, Pikachu caught something in the right corner of his eye and looked to the right. Pikachu saw something in the distance heading towards them and Pikachu smiled.
Pikachu- Pikachu!
Suddenly, Sword Kirby and his Warp Star dashed right past Ash and his Poke'mon faster than the blink of an eye.
Sword Kirby- POYO!
Right after Sword Kirby dashed passed the top of Prism Tower, the two machines as well as the restraints binding Ash and his Poke'mon were sliced to pieces. Now Ash and his Poke'mon were free.
Ash- Thanks, Kirby!
Sword Kirby- Don't thank me yet. We still have the bad guy to take care of.
Lysandre- You think I'm the bad guy? You're just as naive as the others. Primids, deal with our uninvited guest.
Then two Primids appeared behind Sword Kirby and tried to jump him. Luckily, Mario and Sonic attacked them from behind first.
Ash- Mario! Sonic!
Sonic- Sorry asshole, but we're crashing this party!
Mario- You ok, Ash?
Ash- I'm fine after Kirby freed us.
Lysandre- I can see why my god finds you all so annoying. You just keep finding a way to get in my way.
Ash- You keep talking about this god of your, but just who is he anyway?!
Lysandre then reveals a strange mark on his left palm. The same mark that was on Nazo's palm when Nazo was working for Tabuu.
Sword Kirby- NO!
Sonic- You ****ing didn't!
Lysandre- I did. Tabuu has showed me how to fix this world. By destroying the old and rebuilding anew.
Mario- Are you insane?! Tabuu's intentions is obliterating everything and leaving no survivors! Tabuu will only bring you Armageddon, not peace!
Lysandre- What do you know about peace?! You fools save a princess only to have her be kidnapped the next day like an infinite time loop! None of you have a clue when it comes to the ugly parts of this world! There once was a time when I reached out to help people. People who were in need and suffering. And they rejoiced…but that didn't last long. They all began to take my help for granted and expected it like they had some sort of right! The people only became louder and louder with their demands! And my help actually brought about their argents! It would only be a matter of time before their world would be destroyed by their entitlement. That's why Tabuu and I are going to create a new world. A world of peace!
Then Lysandre called out two Poke'mon. One was a fire type Poke'mon that looked like a lion called Pyroar. And the other was a Poke'mon called Gyarados, but this one was red instead of blue. Then Lysandre activated his Keystone and the red Gyarados Mega Evolved. Then Alain called out his Charizard and had it Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X.
Alain- Mario…Sonic...Kirby…Ash…please let me help you. I want to make up for this foolish mistake I've made. I'll help you take down Lysandre!
Ash- Good to have you on our side, Alain.
Lysandre- You disappoint me Alain. I wanted to spare you and Ash, but it seems I have to kill you all like Tabuu originally instructed.
