Okay- Rayquazza figh! This is actually, almost it if you can believe. I made a massive chap which took up the entity of this story- i thought it was getting too long.
ENJOY IT!
"Team Aqua pretty much announced throughout Hoenn that they're in charge. They took control of the broadcasting system in Lilycove and announced that they were going to 'create a new world for Pokémon'. Apparently, they're also working with Team Magma." Blue added.
"They've taken control of the major roads into Lilycove city. Apparently they're patrolling the water nearby the bay also, making sure boats can't get in." Ash nodded, his Pikachu chirping in agreement.
"The Police can't do anything because there's too many grunts." Blue nodded, the three sitting in the original room lent out to them weeks ago.
Red frowned, and Blue pulled out a map.
"We've actually got May and Max over on the others side watching Team Magma's movements, they've noticed that they've been moving from the Jagged Path in the West towards here, supposedly with a large crate, they air traveled with it- do you think it could be that Groudon? They didn't know that they had a legendary at the time." Blue noted.
Red nodded, noticing the path, then looking but up at Blue from the Jagged Path point.
"That was nearly three days ago. By the rate they're going, they should arrive tomorrow. Most of the city inhabitants have already left, they don't expect much resistance." Blue nodded.
Red let out a sigh, closing his eyes.
"How are we going to attack? It's not like we have practically an army anymore." Ash sighed, and Pikachu chirped.
Red sighed- they'd have to fight Groudon and Kyogre-
His back practically burned at the thought.
He sighed, pulling out his Pokeballs and setting them all on the table in front of him, keeping the Ultra Ball further back towards him.
"So you're going to just send out all of your Pokémon in a fight like before?" Blue asked, arching an eyebrow while Red shook his head, pushing four of them further out, keeping Pikachu and Charizard closer to him.
"I see, send out your four to hold the grunts while using Charizard for an aerial approach, using Pikachu for up close. The two legendaries?" Blue asked, and Red nodded to the Ultra Ball.
"I'll help you in the air with Pidgeot." Blue nodded, and Ash grinned, "I'll help out too with my Charizard!"
Red gave a slight nod, as they turned, folding up the maps and settling down for sleep.
Espeon and Pikachu slept on the bed between Ash's Pikachu and Jolteon, both Pokémon noticing the odd white scars on Espeon's paw.
The next morning, Red quickly tried to keep out of sight. As far as the world knew, he was dead, and Team Aqua was pretty proud of that.
They stuck to the sides, and not even by noon, the broadcasting system was used again.
"Attention all citizens…prepare, for a new world!" Red's eyes flashed to the screen, seeing a cackling Archie and a different man he assumed was Maxie.
"Time to shine Boys." Blue muttered, grabbing his Pokeballs and opening one, climbing on Pidgeot.
A Pidgeot and two Charizard's took off in the air, flying high as he saw the equipment and the dozens of grunts surrounding the crate which slowly opened- revealing a huge Groudon just as the massive Kyogre surfaced from the beach, each of them with blank eyes.
"You see this?" Ash gasped, and Red scowled, the Pokémon spiraling and diving low, Pidgeot using Whirlwind to cause the broadcasting to be disrupted, Grunts crying out in confusion.
"Stop this right now!" Ash shouted, his Charizard hovering in the air as Blue's Pidgeot mirroring it, Red vanishing in the sky to leave the two.
"You think you can stop us?" An old man sneered, looking rather…aristocratic as he looked at the two with a scowl.
"We know we can!" Ash shouted back while the other man, the leader of Team Aqua laughed.
"I know you! Trainer Blue! You lost to that Trainer Red- the kid we killed!" The man cackled.
"You aren't going to win." Blue growled, releasing his five Pokémon below, each stretching and snarling, Arcanine using a powerful blast of fire just to test as Ash released his own Pokémon, A Sceptile, Corphish, Torkoal, and Glalie. Pikachu sitting on Ash's shoulder.
"You think those will stop us? Groudon, destroy those two flying fools." The Older man sniffed.
"You too Kyogre!" The Aqua man laughed.
Pidgeot cried out, flapping wildly to avoid the blast of fire, while Charizard spun to avoid the water.
"Nothing can stop us! Not you two!" Archie laughed, and Blue smirked, shouting back, and pointing.
"Not us!" He laughed, the two men frowning as they looked at him, "him."
They looked up, gasping at the large diving Charizard, fire spinning around it as it twisted, landing with an earth shattering grip on the ground, a wave of fire slamming Grunts off their feet, Charizard giving a powerful roar.
"You!" Archie gasped, and the other spun glaring, "I thought you killed him!"
"I thought so too! Kyogre! Finish him like you were supposed to!" Archie screeched, and Kyogre fired a blast of water, Charizard countering it with a Fire Blast, the water evaporating.
"You think you can take on two legendaries? You almost died at one!" Archie laughed, and Red this time smirked.
The two men stilled.
Red pulled out an Ultra Ball, and they arched an eyebrow.
"That's what's going to defeat us? A single Pokémon?" The man from Team Magma sneered.
The Pokeball opened.
The men fell back, ducking to try and avoid the green blur of power.
"You think you're the only one who has a Legendary?" Blue shouted, actually laughing as the green blur turned, coiling in the air and giving a massive roar.
"I-Impossible." Archie gasped, stumbling backwards while the other man looked on in shock.
"The Dragon of the Sky- I-I thought they were myths." The other man gasped, causing Rayquaza to let loose another roar.
'You dare control my comrades? You dare tame the Creature of the Seas, and the Bringer of the Earth? You will all perish!'
"Kill it Kyogre!" Archie shrieked, and Magma man nodded to his Groudon.
Beams of Fire and Water flew up, both exploding on impact with a Dragonbreath.
'Go! I will defeat them!'
"Jolteon! Lead them into battle!" Blue called down, and their Pokémon charged, attacking the grunts.
Red snarled, swooping low and flipping, dropping off Snorlax, Venusaur, Blastoise and Espeon, who charged in, skillfully knocking out grunts.
They turned, both of the leaders growling and trying to get to their corresponding helicopters, Red reaching Archie first and landing in front of him, eyes filled with utter anger.
"I-I- Get him!" He shrieked, throwing all three of his Pokémon out onto the field.
Pikachu jumped, flipping and using a powerful Thunder, which was brought down by the storm Rayquaza summoned. It struck, knocking out all three Pokémon while Charizard grabbed Archie, flapping high into the sky while holding the man who was shrieking loudly, struggling to get down.
Charizard snorted, flapping and dropping the man off harshly on the top of a building, landing and purposefully letting its hind legs slam into one of his ankles, breaking it and permanently making sure the man would not run away.
Charizard snorted, Red going as far as to spit on the ground as they turned, trying to find Maxie, the leader of Team Magma.
They landed in front of the red haired man, who growled sending out his Pokémon.
Red eyed the new Pokémon, glowing red and snorting, obviously a fire type. Although he wasn't sure what else.
"Pika!" Pikachu growled, flipping and knocking out Maxie's Crobat and Mightyena, however the short cow like Pokémon only snorted.
"You fool! Camerupt is a ground type!"
Charizard snorted, looking at the red Pokémon as if it was an insult to fire types, he grabbed it with one claw, before holding it at point blank range Fire Blast.
A few minutes later, Maxie was also on the roof of the building, this time, a broken hip.
Red stared at them, Archie smirking when he saw the limp, but stopped and paled when Red nudged his broken ankle.
"You can't hope to contain them." Maxie sneered, gasping in pain as he looked over at where Rayquaza was in a fierce battle, attacking the two others mercilessly, "They obey our every wish."
Red's eyes narrowed, and he pulled his staff back, pressing it on Archie's chest and leaning on it slowly.
"No! No don't kill me! I- The orb isn't here! It's in our planes!" He squealed, and Maxie spun, hissing angrily.
Red looked at them once more before shaking his head in disgust, climbing on Charizard and the two flying, Pikachu perching on Charizard's head, wind rippling across its yellow and brown fur.
Charizard roared, spinning impressively through two Hyper Beams as it flared its wings, gathering searing red energy in its mouth as it swept across the ground in an Arial Ace- letting the powerful Heat Wave erupt, causing the two helicopters to sizzle and pop, melting for a moment before exploding rapidly.
Red smiled to himself slightly, the stones would be melted under the intense heat, they couldn't do anything.
"Red! Look out!" Red turned, Charizard flapping as it turned quickly, rearing back suddenly, knocking Pikachu back, Red snatching his friend in his arms.
Kyorge had lunged away while Rayquaza was finishing Groudon, the large creature was battered and angry as it lunged. It was only a few feet away, having leapt from the water with its jaws wide open, too close for Charizard to get away frown, and it looked like Kyogre wasn't aiming a water attack, but instead just simply wanted to swallow them.
It was odd, the moment the huge mouth drew closer, it seemed that it was almost in slow motion as Charizard roared, instinctively twisting, incidentally bringing Red closer.
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted eyes wide and terrified as the creature drew closer, only a short distance away.
Red looked at his friend, before twisting, trying to keep Pikachu hidden and protected.
Pikachu looked up, trembling as Red swallowed, smiling at his Pokémon, and whispering so quietly, "It'll be okay Pikachu. " He whispered, tucking the creature close while he hit it.
Pikachu's eyes widened the moment it realized that Red would be taking the damage- that Red would be killed.
Pikachu jumped free, just as Red tried to grab it and spun, watching as Pikachu bounced, leaping from Charizard's wing up into the air, towards Kyogre.
"PIKACHU!"
Red watched in almost wonder as Pikachu glowed with power, exploding it outwards in Thunder, a blast of power exploding outwards like a Hyperbeam, striking the Kyogre as Pikachu roared angrily, the thunder increasing in power, causing the two creatures to glow Black and White through the power, the electricity gaining even more power, turning a low glowing blue as power exploded out, changing from a Thunder to…something so much stronger.
The display caused Pokémon to stop and watch, Rayquaza even pausing to look with respect at the display of power.
It ended, the electricity fizzling out while Charizard seemed to regain its ability, it twisted, trying to climb into the sky once more.
Red's eyes widened in horror as Pikachu plummeted, exhausted and plummeting.
'Pikachu!' Red thought in horror, without another thought, he jumped, kicking off of Charizard who stumbled at the shift in weight, Red moved, plummeting and reaching out, grabbing Pikachu, who opened one eye, questioningly looking at Red blurrily, before slumping in Red's arms.
Red tucked Pikachu close, twisting so it was his back falling first, and he smiled, letting a low breath as he fell.
'I'm going to die.' Red realized suddenly, noticing now how high up they had been, and how fast they were falling, 'At least I'm with Pikachu.' He thought, letting out a low breath as he closed his eyes.
"Red!"
"No! Catch him! Somebody!"
"They're not going to reach him in ti-"
Water.
Red was limp as he sunk, clutching Pikachu as the water sunk in, invading his mouth and nose, burning as he sunk, bubbles rising.
He opened one eye, looking at Pikachu, who was limp and so very thin when the water matted down its fur.
'I'm sorry.'
"Chosen one. You have proven your worth."
He felt something, and suddenly he was gagging, Pikachu coughing as they tasted air, inhaling rapidly as they looked at what saved them,
Rayquaza had set them on his back, letting them sit on a gap in its armor, the two gasping for air as it circled in the air, swooping over the sand as Red opened one eye, seeing the fainted Kyogre laying beached on the sand.
'If Pikachu could defeat an eternal with one Thunder, although Rayquazza probably took it down to only a quarter of its true power- Pikachu's power must have grown. What level is he now?' He thought as Rayquaza landed, hands pulling him off and onto the sand, rolling him onto his stomach as they hit his back repeatedly.
"Red! Come on!" He heard Blue curse as he felt one more hit, water rushing up from his stomach, causing the burning feeling of bile as he regurgitated the salty liquid.
"His Pikachu's alright." Ash stated, rubbing the smaller creature's back, Ash's own Pikachu was sharing electricity through its cheek pouches, shifting energy into the tired one.
"Red swallowed a lot of water, are you all right? Red?" Blue asked, hitting and Red felt some of the water, still clogged as he coughed, trying to dislodge it.
"Esp! Espeon!" Espeon bounded over, eyes glowing blue as the water was forcibly dislodged from his thought in a…disturbing, and slightly invasive action.
Red coughed, sniffing as his nose ran from the salt as he gently lifted himself up, mindful of his leg as he winced slightly, trying to rise.
"Easy there." Blue muttered, and Red winced, rising as he blinked, looking at the sight.
Officers were on the scene, from where they came, he had no idea. They were swarming around with police Pokémon, loading grunts into trucks and more.
"Archie and Maxie?" Blue asked, Red coughing once more before pointing in the vicinity of the rooftop he had left them on.
"Hey!" Ash shouted, waving as two people hurried over, Red looked up, noticing them to be May and Max.
"Hey guys! We saw what was happening on TV!" Max shouted, the two looking at Red with worry.
They felt the earth shake slightly, Charizard having returned and gave a whine of apology, causing Red to smile slightly, from his hunched position. Charizard lowered itself to four legs, rumbling low again in apology as Red smiled, lifting himself upright and reaching out, giving a small pat on Charizard's neck, accepting the apology.
"You good?" Blue asked, Red giving a slight nod.
"Blas! Blastoise!" Red looked up, seeing his Pokémon rushing over, Blastoise moving quickly on four legs like it had been trained, Venusaur moving with surprising speed as it ran, almost jumping as it did.
They circled around, Blastoise and Venusaur settling just by Charizard, Snorlax walking over from its location on the far side, approaching quickly.
"Looks like everyone's here." May smiled, and Red smiled, reaching out and rubbing Venusaur's leaf while patting Blastoise's shell.
"Blas! Blastoise Blas Blas!" Blastoise spoke, looking at Charizard, who looked down, obviously upset while Venusaur inserted something also, "Saur! Venu, Venusaur!"
"Esp! Espeon Esp!" Espeon spoke, adding to the fray as they now all spoke, hurriedly babbling to Red who blinked at the talking.
He smiled, lifting his hands in a defenseless position, causing them all to swarm him gently obviously distressed with his move.
"Whoa, they look really upset." Max noted, just as Snorlax wondered over with a grin, settling down on its haunches while reaching out with one stubby claw, gently patting Red's head. Red blinked, slightly touched by the action, and lifted one eyebrow at the now grinning Snorlax.
"Wait- you saw this on TV?" Ash asked, looking at May who nodded. "Yeah, it was broadcasted live. Speaking of which, is that Rayquaza?" May asked, looking at the large flying green creature, who was snarling at any police officer daring to get close to the fainted Groudon and Kyorge, "Like, an actual Rayquaza?"
"I think it's the real Rayquaza actually." Blue added, causing the others to look at him curiously.
"The real one?" May frowned. Red blinked, he had forgotten that in this universe there were multiple copies of the gods.
"Oh! Is that the real Rayquaza, the one that controls the sky? Not one of those copies you were telling us about, right?" Max asked, while they looked at Rayquaza.
"Right. In this world I've found out a few things. Apparently, you have the Pokémon as in our world. Here though, you have copies. I've done my research, the copies are those which you trainers normally see and capture if you do. If you ever actually catch an eternal- what we call them, then the realm or power they control goes into chaos. If Red was to keep that Rayquaza, the entire air above us would eventually break down and possibly harm us beyond repair." Blue nodded while the group looked at the Pokémon in shock.
Red winced, rising onto his feet, and pointing to Blue's bag.
"What? Here" Blue tossed his bag, Red grabbing it and pulling two spheres from the side pocket.
"Ultra balls? What are you going to catch?" Max blinked and Red rose, Espeon moving alongside, providing support while Red limped forward.
Espeon hissed, creating a small mental barrier, forcing the bystanders, police, and numerous trainers away.
"Sir, I'm sorry but you aren't allowed to move past this poi-" The Officer blinked, apologizing greatly as she blushed, letting him past while trainers and foolish townsfolk flocked him, trying to get to either him, or the three legendary Pokémon.
Espeon growled, sending a thrown empty Pokeball back to the trainer who threw it, aiming for Groudon.
"Esp!" Espeon growled, snarling at the trainers who still tried to catch the two defenseless Pokémon.
Rayquaza snarled, landing next to Red, roaring at the trainers as they shied away slightly, before trying again with renewed vigor.
"They attempt to contain my comrades. There are too many of them." Rayquaza snarled, and Red nodded, Espeon keeping the Pokeballs at bay with a Light Screen.
Red turned, looking at Rayquaza and slowly pulling out the two Ultra balls. He knew that Rayquaza understood, and that Red would put them away if Rayquaza disagreed with the idea.
"You have gained my respect, human. You have held yourself to your promise on Arceus' title. The Lord would not send a mortal who holds no understanding of the elements. Do what is required." Rayquaza snarled, rising in the air as Red threw the two Ultra balls lightly, gently letting them impact and absorb the two eternal creatures.
They didn't shake at all as they glowed red, leaving the two spheres on the ground while the other trainers shouted angrily, sending complaints.
"hey! Why does he get to catch them?"
"I'm a water trainer! I should get Kyogre!"
"Yeah! His Espeon's not going to be able to fight with those like my Rapidash can!"
"Enough!" Rayquaza roared, sending out a powerful Dragonbreath high into the air, silencing the trainers.
"Red!" Blue shouted, Red glancing over while he was mounted on his Pidgeot, May behind him. Ash was on his younger Charizard, Max sitting in front of him.
"Come on!" Blue shouted, now noticing how the crowd had gotten out of control.
"Well I want that Rayquaza!"
"Yeah! He hasn't caught it yet!"
Red's Charizard swooped low, Red grabbing a hold of his beast's claw, swinging up and on it while returning Espeon, Rayquaza roared, clearing a room for Charizard to take off.
He swooped low, returning all of his Pokémon, noticing with some worry that Pikachu wasn't resting with Venusaur.
"I have him!" Blue shouted, and Red nodded, rising as he looked behind his back.
It seemed the trainers had gathered together to try and 'catch' Rayquaza, throwing many Pokémon moved at the eternal creature, causing Rayquaza to roar in anger.
"Get it Aggron!"
"Water Pulse, Maril!"
Charizard swooped in, Rayquaza wincing at the attacks and the trainers gasped as it was returned into the waiting hand of Red, causing the trainers to gasp.
"He has all three legendary Pokémon!"
"And those birds in Kanto!"
"Does he have the Pokémon from other regions also?"
"He could beat Cynthia easily with those!"
"Let's go, Red." Ash spoke, Red nodded as they flew, Red angling their course south towards where it would be easier for him to return Groudon.
"Where are we going?" May asked with a frown and Red flew in close, tossing him his Pokedex, causing May to look at it with a frown. "Sootopolis city?"
Red nodded, taking the device back, as well as Pikachu from Blue's arms, drifting a little further away as he held his starter Pokémon.
'I wonder…' Red thought as he held his Pokedex, curiously scanning the yellow Pokémon.
Pikachu
Level: 91
Red jolted in surprise. Pikachu had grown three levels? That was incredibly difficult at this late in his levels.
'yet again, he has fought not only Cynthia, but Blue and the others. And he just beat an eternal…maybe he is getting stronger.' He smiled, looking down at his Charizard, before scanning the lizard also.
Charizard
Level: 86
'So Charizard has gained two levels. Interesting.'
His eyes widened slightly before they narrowed, a small smirk on his face.
'Level 86. At this rate, Snorlax may be 83, Espeon possibly at 82, maybe 83 with as much practice as she's had.'
He froze suddenly, mind numbing with sudden realization.
'Gold's Typhlosion was at level 74. He only won by that Pichu- his Pichu against Pikachu at level 91?'
Red smiled, and gave a silent laugh, rubbing Pikachu with a smile, feeling more joyful and ready then he had in years.
'Oh, Gold. You are not going to win.'
Okay! Main thing is OVER.
Yes, Ash's pokemon have gotten stronger, hope you've noticed.
REVIEW! (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LETS BREAK 100!)
