Ash was escorted back home where everyone was waiting for him. News had already spread that Giovanni had been taken into custody, but Ash was quick to remind them that their job was only half done.
"I've got good news and bad news." said Lance "The good news is I was able to figure out how Team Rocket's been controlling Omegamoah. They have an outpost on the east coast of Kanto with an experimental hypnosis amplification device."
Ash was reminded of the time Butch and Cassidy tried something like that on Mandarin Island.
"So if we take out that facility, they'll lose control of Omegamoah."
"Or we could use it so we could take control of it. The problem is they have an entire army of Rockets guarding that thing, and even if we get past them they have a failsafe EMP to fry all the tech there."
"Why would they do that?" asked Misty.
"Obviously Giovanni would rather have Omegamoah out of control than let him fall into our hands."
"Is that the bad news?" asked Ash.
"No. The bad news is that they shut down and destroyed the system before I could find a weakness in the Pokémon that we could exploit."
Their attention was suddenly drawn to the TV because Ash and the others heard a voice they all recognized.
"Namba!"
"I guess I really should be thanking Ash Ketchum and the Pokémon G-Men, since Giovanni's vacant seat has opened the door for me, so I'll make Team Rocket's revenge very quick and painless. Ash Ketchum, what you've done to Team Rocket over eight years, I'll do to you in eight minutes. I hope you and your friends in Pallet Town are ready, because I know Omegamoah is… The party starts at midnight!"
Needless to say the evacuation of Pallet Town began almost immediately. It wasn't long before Kamilla arrived on the scene when she heard that Omegamoah was coming. Lance had dispatched a whole battalion to take out the outpost where Namba was controlling Omegamoah, but he stayed with Ash and all the others to discuss what they should do.
"We can't let Omegamoah take Pallet Town! Ash's victory over Giovanni has given the people hope, if we back out now their moral will be entirely broken! We need to come up with some kind of plan."
"I've got an idea!" said James.
"I really shouldn't ask should I?" said Lance looking at Ash.
"We'll get all the rock and ground Pokémon we can get our hands on, and then we'll have them dig a giant hole, then we'll fill it with Electrodes! We'll lure Omegamoah to the hole, and when he falls in it… KABLAMO!"
"That sounds like a failed plan from an old monster movie." said Ash "Besides, where are we going to find that many Electrodes?"
"Why don't we just go to the nearest government weapons storage facility, get the nuclear warheads, and blow the thing to kingdom come?" asked Jessie.
"Do you have any idea what that will do to the environment?" asked Kamilla.
"We're not here to save the Wailords. I say we blow the thing up and get on with our lives."
"Jessie, we have no idea what Omegamoah is capable of. For all we know Omegamoah could absorb the radiation and mutate out of control into something twice as big with three heads."
"Whoa! I don't want to fight giant three headed monsters!" said Meowth.
"That won't be necessary."
"Gary?"
Gary came in accompanied by Professor Oak and Tracey.
"We've finished our analysis of the scale from Omegamoah that we picked up in Cerulean, and I'm pleased to announce that I think we've found a weakness… Or rather Gary found a weakness." said Oak.
"What then?"
"Watch this. These are video clips from our last encounter with Omegamoah."
The clip showed the Pokémon owned by the G-Men blasting Omegamoah with their Hyper Beam attacks.
"Let's see that one more time."
Although Omegamoah didn't look like he had been hurt too bad, it did appear as if the attack had done some damage.
"Now let's see what happens when they try that again…"
The Pokémon tried blasting Omegamoah with Hyper Beam again, but this time the beams went right through him and they didn't seem to do any damage at all.
"Now let's see what happens when you tried hitting him with Hydro Pump."
The next clip showed Misty's water Pokémon blasting Omegamoah with Hydro Pump before hitting him with Ice Beam. The first barrage of attacks seemed to bother him, but the second time the water only seemed to heal him and the Ice Beams didn't freeze him at all, then he countered with Thunderbolt.
"Quick quiz." said Gary "Hyper Beam is what kind of attack?"
"Normal."
"What is the only kind of Pokémon that isn't affected at all by normal attacks?"
"Ghost types!"
"How many Pokémon heal themselves when hit with water type attacks?"
"Twenty one." said Lance "And they all have a water absorb ability."
"And what's the only kind of Pokémon that can't be frozen by ice type attacks?"
"Ice Pokémon!" said Kamilla.
"So you're saying Omegamoah is a half ice half ghost Pokémon?" asked Misty.
"No. If Omegamoah were ghost type, then why did the first barrage of Hyper Beams hurt him? Our analysis of his scale says that he's a half dragon and half dark type."
"But that makes no sense." said Brock "Dragon Pokémon are weak against ice attacks."
"Team Rocket tried to create the ultimate Pokémon, but as we all know, no Pokémon is perfect, so they must've done the next best thing."
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying that Omegamoah must have an innate ability to automatically adapt to whatever he's fighting; that is to say it can change its type and abilities, and has a massive arsenal of attacks to boot."
"So there's no way to stop this thing?"
"Not necessarily. Look what happens when Ash mixes things up a bit."
The last clip showed Ash blasting Omegamoah with Charizard's Overheat, Pikachu's Thunderbolt, and then Charizard's Dragon Rage. Omegamoah took damage from all three attacks.
"Omegamoah only seems to adapt after he's been attacked, he then changes his abilities and type to give him the advantage, then he counters with a move that will damage the opponent. But I have a theory; if we switch between different types of Pokémon quickly, maybe he won't be able to keep up, and he'll be vulnerable as he tries to adapt."
"Gary, you're a genius!"
"But Omegamoah still has the ability to heal himself, as we've all learned from that episode in Cerulean. We'll have to hit him hard and fast if this plan is going to work."
"What are we waiting for? Let's kill this thing." said Misty.
"We can't do that!" said Kamilla.
"It blew up my hometown!"
"Look, just because it's a one hundred and sixty foot tall armor-plated killing machine that's capable of destroying an entire city doesn't mean it's a bad Pokémon."
"What are you talking about?"
"My grandma once told me that there's no such thing as a bad Pokémon. Pokémon only do bad things because their trainers are bad people."
"You know what my grandma always told me?" asked Misty "Never mess with something that's got more teeth than an entire school of Sharpedo."
"ZINGA!" said Meowth.
"How would we capture the thing anyway?"
"With this…"
"Mewtwo!"
Mewtwo entered the room holding a Poké Ball that Ash and the others had never seen before. It was black and purple with a white line in the center and a blue Omega symbol.
"Beautiful, isn't it?"
"What is that?"
"It's what I've been working on. It's a Poké Ball designed specifically to capture and contain Omegamoah. I call it the Omega Ball."
"A Pokémon making Poké Balls?" asked Kamilla.
"Trust me I'm good at this."
"Are you sure this will work?" asked Ash.
"I didn't have time to get everything working, so it doesn't have the catch rate of a Master Ball, but if you weaken Omegamoah enough then it should do the trick."
"I'll take your word for it. But what do we do with Omegamoah once we capture it?"
"Kamilla is correct, there's no such thing as a bad Pokémon, what he'll need is a good trainer." said Lance.
"How do you train something that's over a hundred feet tall?" asked Misty.
"That's another special feature of the Omega Ball. If it works it won't only capture Omegamoah, it will shrink him down to about fifteen feet."
"Wait what? That doesn't seem physically possible." said Kamilla.
"Neither does capturing Pokémon that are inside Poké Balls, but I managed to do that too."
"What?"
"Long story and we don't have time for it."
"There's still one problem, even if the Omega Ball can do everything you say it can, who's going to train Omegamoah? Handling a Pokémon like that seems like a lot of responsibility."
"Which is why I'm giving it to you Ash."
"Me?!"
"You're the most trustworthy person I know."
"How many other people do you know?" asked Jessie.
"Irrelevant. I'm certainly not giving it to you. I know from experience that Ash would never abuse Omegamoah's power, and he's going to need a trainer that will actually care about it. Ash, can you be that person."
"Okay…" said Ash taking the Omega Ball in his hand "I'll do it."
