"Lysandre, the Zygarde cores will have to rest if we are to use them at their maximum effectiveness later. Shall we bring in the other specimen?" Xerosic questioned via his Holocaster.

"Yes Xerosic. Now is the time to demonstrate the full power of Team Flare. You may release Hoopa from its confinement when you are ready. I am very pleased with your success concerning the creation of the Mega Evolution cannon. Once this is over, I will reward you with a promotion."

"Thank you Lysandre. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must prepare the Ultimate Weapon for deployment in Geosenge Town. I will let you know when it is operational." And with that, the connection ended.

Lysandre walked to the window of his apartment and grinned. "Soon all that will be left of Lumiose City will be ashes. The world will be purged from all of the filth it has accumulated after so many years. Then we can finally create the perfect environment for Team Flare." He then contacted Matt. "Release Hoopa from its captivity, but keep the level of our control over it exceptionally high. We don't want it to act rashly."

"Already done sir. Hoopa was just released. It is currently attacking the southern part of the city."

"Has it submitted to your will?"

"Yes sir. Shall I command it to open up a Hyperspace Hole?"

Lysandre smirked. "Have it use the portal as soon as possible."


Ash and his friends were in the lower half of Lumiose City when they heard an ear piercing cry of a Pokémon that seemed eerily familiar. As they rounded the corner, they came face to face with a familiar friend. Hoopa grinned darkly. "Were you surprised?"

Ash froze. Serena clutched his arm tightly. Bonnie's eyes widened upon realization of who it was, and Clemont looked away, refusing to believe what was in front of his very eyes. In front of them stood their old friend Hoopa. It looked different this time though. It was giant, and now had six arms. A large cavity now occupied the center of his body, and it seemed to have forgotten who its friends were. Ash noticed that like Z2, it had a faint red outline surrounding its entire body. It must have been under Lysandre's control for it to have become such a monstrosity. Hoopa stared blankly at his former friends, before taking out three portal rings. It then called out through the rings and found three Pokémon he desired. He then snatched them from their world and into his own, causing a huge explosion that sent the four friends flying back in the process. Out of one ring came a quadrupedal dragon. It had gray metallic armor covering most of its body, while the skin underneath was a dark blue. It had a diamond in the center of its chest plate, as well as a finlike structure protruding out of its back and a crest like appendage on its head. It gave out a mighty roar that shook the ground beneath it. It was the Time Pokémon Dialga.

Out of the next ring came a bipedal theropod like Pokémon, with a lavender body and stripes of a darker shade of the same color. It had round purple-striped plates on its shoulder, resembling a pauldron, with two pink pearls embedded in it and surrounded by a gray rim. It had a long neck and a pointed crest on top of its head, with two sharp hornlike structures protecting the sides of its mouth. It was the Space Pokémon Palkia.

The final ring violently shook before the Pokémon inside destroyed the barrier and broke through the dimension. A large draconid creature appeared. It was dark gray with gold half rings surrounding its neck. On its head sat a large crownlike feature. A menacing black stripe ran down its back. It possessed six legs, with sharp claws protruding from its feet. The massive beast let out a frightening roar. Giratina, the antimatter Pokémon, had appeared.

The dimension trio each gave out a massive roar and did as their master wished them to do. The three began to unleash their deadly signature moves: Spacial Rend, Phantom Force and Roar of Time. The cries of the Pokémon could be heard from across the Kalos Region. Clemont looked to his friends.

"Guys! We gotta get out of here! Let's try to make it back to my gym. If we can get our hands on Xerosic's mind control device, we may be able to turn the tide of battle."

"We're right behind you Clemont!" The three of them yelled amidst the chaos around them. The dimension trio seemed to be receiving their orders via Hoopa, and vanished.
"The gym's right over there! We can get in through the secret passageway Bonnie and I made when we were kids. We used it to get out of the gym without Dad knowing and explore the world outside of the gym," Clemont shouted excitedly. As the four reached their destination, a dark portal opened in front of them. Giratina materialized and stood before them.

"GIRATINAAAAAA!"

Ash quickly ran and stood in front of his friends. He pulled out three Pokeballs. "He's not gonna let us pass without a fight guys. Sceptile! Charizard! Greninja! I choose you!" Clemont then ran and stood beside Ash, releasing his Pokémon as well. "Bunnelby! Chespin! Luxray! You help too!"

Serena and Bonnie stood behind Ash in fear. Both were terrified at the thought of losing Ash and Clemont to the dangerous legendary Pokémon. Ash looked back to the two. "It's gonna be Ok guys. I promise."
Clemont pushed his glasses up, causing them to shine. "For Kalos!" he yelled.

The six Pokémon were each given commands, and were quick to engage their opponent.


Far off in the distance, the cries of Hoopa caused a certain cocoon to awaken from its slumber. Yveltal looked up into the sky. The sky had darkened, and in the center of Lumiose City was a large billow of smoke. The cries of three legendary Pokémon could be heard, and with that, Yveltal unfurled its giant clawed wings and released a screech of its own. The Pokémon of Destruction was awakened, and it was headed straight for Prism Tower.
