I'm sure a lot of you were looking forward to this, as this will also solve the mystery of the GS Ball. Well, if you read towards the end, you'll find out.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon or the concept of Moemon.
In the Orange Islands, there is a legend that goes: Disturb not the harmony of fire, ice and lightning, lest these titans wreak destruction upon the world in which they clash. Though the Water's Great Guardian shall arise to quell the fighting, alone, her song will fail, and thus the shall turn to ash. O Chosen One, into tines hands being together all three. Their treasures combined tame the Beast of the Sea. This legend was dedicated to the Moltres, Zapdos and Articuno that lived in the Orange Island, and it says that if the harmony of these three Legendary Birds was to ever break apart, the world would fall into total chaos.
High in the sky, in some sort of flying ship, a man was reading the description of the legend. His name was Lawrence III, and he was a collector. He travelled all around the world, collecting very valuable artifacts, and now he was after something more valuable than his entire collection. "Moltres, Zapdos and Articuno." He said the names of the three birds. "They will be perfect for my collection." Lawrence had a computer that could talk, and right now it was explaining to him that Moltres lived on Fire Island, Zapdos lived on Lightning Island and Articuno lived on Ice Island. "Which island is closest?" Lawrence asked.
"Fire Island, the home of Moltres." The computer answered.
"Then I shall catch Moltres first." Lawrence decided. He got his flying ship ready to catch Moltres. His ship looked like it only had the giant propellers that made it fly, but it was also equipped with weapons, like cannons. When he approached Fire Island, he fired great big balls of ice from his cannons at Fire Island. After Fire Island got covered in ice, Moltres appeared. She looked to be a foot taller than normal Moltres and was more voluptuous as well, having F-sized breasts.
"Who the hell did this!?" Moltres roared, very angry about what happened to her island, and then she noticed Lawrence's ship and attacked it with Flamethrower. First, Lawrence blasted balls of ice, which hit Moltres and weakened her, and then he sent four big metallic, electrical rings to capture Moltres. Moltres was soon caught and sent into Lawrence's ship.
"This is like a simple game of chess." Lawrence said, smiling at his successful capture. "I will catch Zapdos next, then Articuno. Then, I will obtain the Beast of the Sea, Lugia."
Because of Moltres's capture, trouble was going to happen to the whole world.
Meanwhile, Ash and the gang were out at sea, on a boat. The weather was gorgeous, and no sign of trouble was heading their way. "What a great day." Ash said, stretching his arms.
"I agree." Misty said. "The weather today is gorgeous."
"Hey, why don't we bring out our Moemon to enjoy the weather as well?" Tracey suggested.
"Good idea." Serena smiled, and then turned to Maren, the owner of the boat. "Is that alright with you, Maren?"
"Of course." Maren permitted. "We won't be on the island for a while, so all of you can just relax for now."
"Alright. Come on out everyone!" Ash called, sending out his Moemon along with his friends. Besides from Pia, Es, Laby and Umie, Ash had Mea, Hourai, Mokou and Inabikari. Misty had sent out Haru, Starry, Duckie, Aqua and Whirly, Tomo had sent out Viola and Umbra, Giselle had sent out Maria, Kwin, Roka, Liba, Karine and Letty, Serena had sent out Runa, Petal, Sylvia, Chica, Mystia and Puffy and Tracey had sent out Viola, Asuka and Mari, who was a Marill. Mari wore a blue shirt with white marking, and a blue skirt, and she had blue hair down to her neck, black eyes, and a long, thin, zigzag tail with a blue ball at the end.
All the Moemon were relaxing, except for Pia, Es and Wendy, who were staring up into the sky with serious expressions on her faces, as if sensing that something very wrong was about to happen. "Do you sense it as well?" Mokou asked as the four Legendaries walked up to them.
"Yeah." Pia nodded. "The weather seems peaceful, but we can tell these are gonna take a bad turn." Unfortunately, Pia was right. Dark gray clouds quickly appeared in the sky, and it started to rain really hard, with howls and winds. Worst of all, really rough waves were starting to build up in the ocean.
"Crap! Everyone return!" Ash quickly recalled everyone except Pia, Es and Hourai. The others also recalled their Moemon, and then hung on tightly to the boat as to not fall overboard.
"Where did this weather come from!?" Giselle shouted over the howling winds.
"I don't know!" Ash shouted in reply. "It just came out of nowhere!"
"Hourai, do you think you can stop this storm!?" Serena shouted.
"I'm afraid even my power cannot stop a storm like this!" Hourai shouted back. This made everyone worry greatly.
Maren did her best to try to take control of the boat, but it wasn't easy with a rough storm about. Just then, a big school of Magikarp swam near them. They seemed more full of life than usual and they swam with the boat, as if helping control it. Maren soon noticed that they were heading towards an island. "That's Shamouti Island!" She told the gang. "We are in the middle of the Orange Islands! I'm going to port the boat there!" The gang agreed with Maren's decision; after all, sailing in a storm is very dangerous. As they headed for Shamouti, though, Hourai looked at the island with a serious expression.
"Shamouti Island..." She said to herself, and then glanced over at her trainer. 'Ash, prepare yourself.' She thought. 'Your role as the Chosen One begins now.'
Back at Pallet Town, Delia was tending to her garden, when Professor Oak turned up at her house on his bicycle. "Morning, Delia." He greeted. "Your garden looks more beautiful today than usual."
"I thank the weather for that." Delia smiled. "It has been so beautiful lately that it has helped my garden so much."
Suddenly, they started to experience strange weathers; first it rained really hard, then it snowed, and then it went back to being nice and sunny. Delia and Oak were confused by this. Then, they noticed a flock of Pidgey in the air and a labor of Diglett passed by them. Delia also noticed that Mimey started to look upset. "What's wrong, Mimey?" She asked, but Mimey only looked up at the sky with an upset face.
"Something is very wrong." Oak said. "Moemon are more in tune with nature than humans are. Whenever something goes wrong, they can sense it, and it makes them very upset." He explained, looking up at the sky with a frown. "And somewhere, something is going terribly wrong."
Back at the Orange Islands, Ash and the gang just set foot on Shamouti Island. "We sure are lucky." Pia said gratefully.
"I agree." Misty nodded. "If we hadn't found this place, we would've been in big trouble."
"Uh, I think we are still in trouble." Serena said, sounding nervous.
The gang saw that they were surrounded by people wearing some sort of furry feathery clothing and had heads of big birds, and they looked very creepy. "Hey, Maren. It's been a while." One of them greeted Maren, taking off her big mask.
"Hi, Carol." Maren greeted back. "We got caught in the storm and floated here."
"Well, you got here, and at the perfect time." Carol said. "The annual legend starts today."
Maren looked excited. "My favorite island holiday! Are you the festival maiden again."
Carol shook her head. "No, I'm too old to play that now. Melody, my little sister, is taking over the role."
Melody introduced herself, being the only one not wearing a costume. "We have been doing this boring ritual for centuries now," she complained, "and we still do it." Melody seemed to be one of those sorts of people who hated being part of rituals and ceremonies, even if it was tradition.
"It's our tradition," Carol argued back, "and you should be honored to take part!"
"Don't worry, Carol." Melody rolled her eyes. "I'll play the role in the legend. I know what to do already."
Carol sighed. "Just be there." She then noticed the gang. "By the way, Maren, who are these folk?"
"Oh, this young man with black hair is named Ash Ketchum." Maren introduced Ash. "Apparently, he's an Aura Guardian as well as a Moemon Trainer."
"Moemon Trainer!?" The islanders of Shamouti shouted, startling Ash before they started to cheer.
"The ancient legend foretells your arrival." The old man said. "Only you, with the Great Guardian Beast of the Sea, can vanquish the Titans of Fire, Ice and Lightning. The fate of the world lies in your hands, Chosen One."
Ash, Pia and Es were surprised when the old man addressed Ash as the Chosen One. "You knew?" Ash asked.
The old man chuckled. "Oh, don't worry. It's just a saying for the tourists."
"And a saying that is not far from the truth." Hourai said as she emerged from her Moe Ball, shocking the islanders.
"Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that Ash here has Legendary Moemon." Maren explained. "From what I saw, he has four; the Ho-Oh, a Mew, a Moltres and a Zapdos."
"Five." Ash corrected. "I also have a Zygarde back at Pallet Town."
"Joined by five Legendaries." Melody said, sounding amazed. "It's almost as if you really are the Chosen One."
Recovering from his shock, the old man turned to Hourai. "Lady Ho-Oh, what do you mean when you said I wasn't far from the truth?" He asked seriously.
"I mean it's just as you said; the entire world is at risk." Hourai answered seriously. "I can no longer feel the Titan of Fire's presence on Fire Island. Moltres has missing, and harmony has been disturbed." Her words made all the islanders nervous.
"It's just as the legend foretold." The old man said fearfully.
"What legend?" Tracey asked.
"It is the Legend of the Chosen One." Melody answered, and then told the gang the legend. "Disturb not the harmony of fire, ice and lightning, lest these titans wreak destruction upon the world in which they clash. Though the Water's Great Guardian shall arise to quell the fighting, alone her song will fail, and thus the earth shall turn to ash."
"What!?" Giselle exclaimed, sounding nervous. "That's bad! Is there anything we can do to stop it!?"
"The last verse of the legend tells what must be done." The old man said. "O Chosen One, into thine hands bring together all three. Their treasures combined tame the Beast of the Sea."
"Bring together all three..." Serena repeated, trying to figure out what that meant.
"It means that Ash must gather the treasures of Fire Island, Lightning Island and Ice Island, and then take them to the shrine on Shamouti." Hourai explained. "Their combined powers, along with Lugia's song, will bring order back to the world."
"Then we can't waste anymore time." Ash said, looking very serious. "Let's head to the three islands and gather the treasures."
"While I definitely agree, we should probably prepare ourselves first." Misty suggested, and then everyone heard the sound of a grumbling stomach.
"...Yeah, we probably should." Ash blushed, embarrassed.
Back at Pallet Town, Professor Oak and Delia were at Oak's Lab, watching the news about the strange weather. "There has been strange weather disasters all over the globe." The news reporter said, showing pictures of different strange weather in different areas, like snowstorms, thunderstorms and flooding. "The experts say that this is all because of an unknown phenomenon deep beneath the ocean. An underwater river has made its way around the whole planet, disrupting ocean currents, weather patterns and the whole global planet."
"I think this is what's making all the Moemon upset." Oak said, frowning.
"The reports say that the center of this problem is at the northern central region of the Orange Islands, around the island of Shamouti."
"The Orange Islands." Oak repeated.
Delia gasped. "But that's where Ash, Tomo, Serena and their friends are right now!" She exclaimed with great worry. Just then, Professor Oak got a call from Professor Ivy.
"Professor Oak, we have a problem." Ivy said, speaking in a matter of urgency. "The Moemon here are behaving strangely." Brock was seen running in the background, trying to calm the Moemon down.
Somewhere else in the Orange Island, a Moemon was looking up at the skies. She wore a black shirt and a orange feathery skirt, and wore yellow eblow-length gloves with tribal markings on them and a small yellow wing on each glove. She had yellow hair down her back, with the center of her hair spiked up and being yellow at the tips, looking like a bird wing, but still leaving enough to flow down her back, and shining blue eyes that held seriousness in them.
"It looks like it is time, Tapu Koko." A voice said behind her. It was the same Moemon that saw Ash and the gang leave Mandarin Island.
"Indeed, Tapu Lele." Tapu Koko replied. "Call Tapu Bulu and Tapu Fini. We must hurry to Shamouti."
Tapu Lele frowned. "Surely, the Chosen One is there as well. I saw him leave Mandarin Island, and if the weather is currently in disarray, then he must be at Shamouti right now."
"I am aware of that. That's why we must go to assist him as much as possible."
High in the sky, Lawrence was admiring his capture of Moltres. The Titan of Fire's movement was restrained by the electricity of her prison, so she could only glare at him. "Oh, poor Moltres. You look so miserable." Lawrence said. "But don't worry, Zapdos and Articuno will join you soon." He had seen the upset balance of nature on his computer, but he didn't care. All he cared about was gathering the three birds and Lugia.
"Zapdos detected heading towards Fire Island." The computer spoke.
Back at the Orange Islands, Ash and the gang had finished eating and getting prepared, and were now heading towards Fire Island on their Moemon. Mokou carried Tomo and Tracey, Inabikari carried Giselle and Misty, Serena was flying on Mystia while Ash flew on Pina, who he swapped Umie with. Pia and Es were also flying through the air using their psychic powers. Pina was using Tailwind to double everyone's speed, so that they could get to Fire Island as quickly as possible. The moment they were above the shrine where the treasure of Fire Island was, Ash jumped off Pina and landed on the ground with bent knees, using Aura to strengthen his body and take the landing better. Then, Ash ran up to the pedestal and pulled the treasure from between the two stones. He took a good look at the treasure; it was a fiery red glass sphere, and when he touched it, a small flame came to life in the orb.
"Geez, Ash. Did you have to jump off like that?" Misty asked as the others landed.
"His actions are understandable." Mokou said. "With the current state the world is in, we can't afford to waste any time."
"That's right." Ash nodded. "Okay, I have Fire Island's treasure. Now-"
Before he could say anymore, bolts of lightning hit some stone pillars, causing them to glow blue as everyone saw the Titan of Lightning, Zapdos, flying towards Fire Island, sending bolts of electricity from her body that lit up the ground. Like Moltres, she was a foot taller than normal Zapdos and had F-sized breasts. Inabikari looked puny compared to Zapdos, but that didn't stop her from confronting the Titan when she landed. "Zapdos, you shouldn't be here!" Inabikari shouted. "Fire Island belongs to Moltres!"
"Used to belong to Moltres." Zapdos made her own corrections. "But since she's gone, lightning shall rule over fire, and I now claim this island as my own!"
"Oi! What am I, a common Pidgey!?" Mokou shouted, offended by Zapdos's comment.
Zapdos looked at her and scoffed. "You are far too young, and clearly not worthy of ruling the islands as you've been caught by a human." She turned her glare to Inabikari. "The same goes to you, young Zapdos!"
Suddenly, Zapdos's electricity began to get drawn into the sky, drawing everyone's attention. Everyone, including Zapdos, looked up at the sky and saw Lawrence's flying ship in the clouds. "What is that!?" Pia asked, having never seen anything like it.
"What is this!?" Zapdos demanded. "That thing is draining my power!"
Inside his ship, Lawrence smirked. "Drained of her power, Zapdos will be an easy capture." He sent out the same electrical rings he used to catch Moltres, and then Zapdos was captured in no time at all. However, the electric rings didn't just capture Zapdos, they also captured the gang and took them all inside the ship.
"It seems we have captured more than anticipated." The computer informed Lawrence at once.
"More?" Lawrence repeated. Sounding interested, he decided to greet his uninvited guests.
A big room of Lawrence's ship was Lawrence's collection room, where he kept all his precious artifacts. The gang was trapped in a cage, between Moltres and Zapdos, but Mokou and Inabikari seemed to have their own electrical prisons. Ash didn't like seeing the birds in cages like that, especially when two of them were his Moemon. "Mokou, Inabi, are you two alright!?" Ash asked.
"I can't move...!" Mokou grunted, trying to move in her cage. "The electricity from the rings is restraining my movement!"
"Really?" Inabikari asked. "Because I can move just fine."
Mokou looked at her sister, then at the Titan of Lightning, who was also unable to move. "Guess Zapdos doesn't have Lightning Rod for her ability." She said. "Anyway, if you can still move, then you might be able to-" A big clanking noise interrupted her and gained everyone's attention, and when they looked up, a metal, center pillar started to sink into the ground. There, on the top of the pillar, sitting in the chair, was Lawrence.
"Welcome." He greeted everyone after the pillar fully sunk into the floor. "Although, this was certainly unexpected. I did not think that there were another Moltres and Zapdos here, but the more the merrier I suppose. It does help with my collection."
"Who are you!?" Ash shouted, angry at the man thinking of Mokou and Inabikari as objects to collect.
Lawrence turned to him. "Oh? Aren't you Ash Ketchum?" He asked, and then looked at Mokou and Inabikari. "No wonder, then. These two are your Moltres and Zapdos."
"I'll ask again." Ash growled. "Who are you?"
"Oh, my apologies. I am Lawrence III." Lawrence introduced himself. "I am collector, you see. I started off with a Mew card, and now, my collection has grown bigger and better."
"The whole 'I started at humble beginnings' shit." Pia muttered under her breath, and then Lawrence let them out of their cage.
"Legendary Moemon have always been my interest, and soon, my collection will be legendary."
"Articuno has been detected." His computer informed him.
Lawrence smiled and sat back into his chair. "If you'll excuse me, I have some work to complete." He left the collection, using the pillar like an elevator.
Outside, the weather was getting worse; a terrible blizzard was happening, far worse than wind and rain. Articuno was flying around in the blizzard, screeching and firing Ice Beams everywhere. She wore a light blue dress that reached her knees, with two light blue wings sticking out of her back. She had bright blue eyes, and long blue hair flowing her down back. Normally, Articuno were 6'01" and had DD breasts, but like the other Titans, she was a foot taller and had F-sized breasts.
A news reporter, with a cameraman, was broadcasting news in a helicopter, and televisions all over the world were showing off the news. Right now, the news was showing a map grid of Shamouti Island and then three elemental islands. "This map shows the area of Shamouti Island, the epicenter of this world-wide weather disaster!" The reporter said. The news then showed videos of millions of Moemon. "As you can see, millions of Moemon are now making their way to Shamouti! Moemon who can swim are coming by sea, Moemon who can fly are coming by air, and those who can't swim or fly are massing on lands nearest to the islands!" Professor Oak and Professor Ivy were in the helicopter as well. "Right now, I have Professors Samuel Oak and Philena Ivy with me, and they're here to hopefully shed some light on this situation!"
Oak held a drawing of the elemental islands and a tri-colored pen in his hands. "Near Shamouti Islands are the islands of fire, ice and lightning, which are home to the Legendary Birds Moltres, Articuno and Zapdos." He began to explain. "I fear they may be the cause of this weather disaster. You see, ancient writings from different cultures have considered the area around the Fire and Ice Islands as the cradle of the ocean, most likely the source of all the oceans, since everyone knows that when you combine fire and ice together, it makes water."
"And what about the island of lightning?" The reporter asked.
"Well, I theorize that when our planet was still young, a chemical reaction, caused when lightning struck volcanic sea water, started life on our world." Oak replied. "I believe that the three Legendary Moemon are connected to this. Using a magnetic pull to form currents under the ocean from fire and ice, it allows the elements to balance out and keep the weather system under control. And if the power of Moltres, Articuno and Zapdos have been disrupted, then it's conceivable that a powerful underwater current, known as the Beast of the Sea, will emerge from this region and ultimately flood the entire planet."
"The Moemon are gathering because they feel and sense this doom." Ivy continued for Professor Oak. "Momeon are in tune with the balance of nature, so they're gathering to correct this imbalance and try to save the planet. Although, they might not be able to do anything about it."
The news reporter then noticed Delia, who was riding on Seira in her Complete Form. "Excuse me, miss. Who are you?" He asked.
"My name is Delia Ketchum, and I'm worried about my two sons, Ash and Tomo." Delia said, worry clear on her face. "I fear I might not be able to see them again."
"There is no need to worry." Seira said to Delia. "They will be fine, and I have confidence that my trainer will be able to right this wrong."
The news reporter recognized Seira. "Hold on. You're Ash Ketchum's Zygarde, aren't you?" He asked. "Are you sure he will be able to stop this?"
"Of course." Seira nodded. "You may know him as the Indigo Champion, but he is more special than you think."
In Lawrence's flying ship, the gang was watching everything that was happening outside. "This is terrible." Es frowned, showing her discomfort. "And this all started because of Lawrence. His greed has put the entire world in danger."
"Yeah." Pia nodded. "We have to do something! We can't let the world be destroyed!"
"I know." Ash said, and then turned to Inabikari. "Inabi, you've been absorbing electricity from the cage, right!?"
"Yep!" Inabikari. "I already feel topped up!"
"Use that electricity and release a Discharge to free yourself!"
Inabi nodded and gathered the electricity she absorbed and mixed it with her own, and then released it all in a Discharge powerful enough to destroy the cage that was holding her. Now free, Inabikari flew into the air and set her eyes on the cage holding her sister. "Volt Drill!" She used a combination of Drill Peck and Wild Charge, coating herself in electricity while spinning like a drill, forming an electric drill that hit Mokou's cage. The electricity from the cage tried to stop Inabikari, but she merely absorbed it with her Lightning Rod ability and used it to strengthen her attack, ultimately destroying the cage and freeing her sister.
"Thanks, sis." Mokou thanked, hugging her sister gratefully. "I did not like being part of that man's collections."
"Same here." Inabikari agreed. "Now, let's free the two titans."
Meanwhile, Lawrence had started going after Articuno; he was firing fireballs at her to weaken her for an easy capture. "Once I capture Articuno," Lawrence smirked, "the real treasure shall appear." Deep at the bottom of the ocean, a shadowy figure was swimming around, and then spun itself into a swirling geyser while it started to the surface.
Back with the gang, Mokou and Inabikari prepared to free Moltres and Zapdos, with Pia and Es joining in. Ash also sent out Hourai and Mea to help out. "Alright! Pia, Inabi, Mea, use Thunder altogether to free Zapdos! Hourai, Mokou, Mea, use Fire Blast and Psychic to free Moltres!" Ash commanded, and then turned to his friends. "Everyone, get ready! Once Moltres and Zapdos are free, they're gonna start fighting each other!"
Ash's Moemon used their respective attacks; Pia, Inabikari and Mea released a combined blast of electricity at Zapdos's cage, while Hourai and Mokou released a combined blast of fire at Moltres's cage, with Es using Psychic to empower it. Thanks to their combined attacks, they were able to destroy both cages and free Moltres and Zapdos. The moment they were freed, they used their fire and lightning attacks to break free from Lawrence's ship.
"What!?" Lawrence asked, shocked to see Moltres and Zapdos free from their cages and attacking his ship. "How did they escape!?" When Moltres and Zapdos attacked the ship, they struck the propellors that made the ship fly, and then the ship made a crash landing on Lightning Island. The ship started to break apart when it crashed, and Lawrence's collection started to fall out of the collection room and into the sea.
"Let's get out of here!" Serena shouted. The group ran down a metal barrier, which had smashed into the collection room earlier, and made their way out the ship. Ash noticed Lightning Island's shrine near a cliff and went to it at once, pulling the treasure out from the pedestal. A small yellow bolt of electricity appeared in the yellow glass sphere when Ash held it.
As soon as Ash got the second sphere, Articuno appeared, and she, Moltres and Zapdos started fighting each other. Ash put the lightning treasure in his pocket with the fire treasure, and then sent out Pina. Getting onto her back, the Pidgeot immediately took off for Shamouti. Regrouping with the others, who were flying towards Shamouti as well, Pina then used Tailwind to increase their speed and quickly escape the feuding Legendaries. When they glanced at the Titans, though, they saw that they were actually fighting four other Moemon; it was Tapu Koko and her sisters, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu and Tapu Fini.
Tapu Bulu wore a black shirt and yellow pants, as well as golden gauntlets on her hands that had horseshoes on the palms, a red helmet that held back her blonde hair which went down her back, with two wooden bull horns sticking upwards from the sides, and shining blue eyes.
"The Land Spirit Moemon, Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu and Tapu Fini." Hourai said, recognizing the Moemon. "They must've come to help fend off the Legendary Birds."
"I'm afraid they won't last, though." Mea said grimly. "Those four aren't as strong as their cousins in Alola. The Titans will easily overpower."
"But they're buying us time to get the treasures we have now to Shamouti's shrine." Ash said, thankful to the Tapu's for their help. "Let's go!" The gang had landed in Shamouti, and Ash immediately ran up to the shrine and placed the Fire and Lightning Island treasures on their respective slots.
"You're still missing the treasure of Ice Island, Ash." A voice said. Ash saw a Slowking walking up to him. She wore a pink dress with a regal appearance, and had pink hair that reached her shoulders, held back by an elegant stone crown, and black eyes.
Ash nodded, ignoring the fact that Slowking somehow knew his name. "I know. I plan on heading there right now." A sudden crashing sound got their attention.
"Ash!" Misty called. "Tapu Koko and the others just got shot down! They're really hurt right now!"
"Have Mea, Pia and Es quickly teleport them to the Moemon Center and have Nurse Joy heal them!" Ash told her. He then heard screeching in the sky as Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres were once again fighting each other, throwing Ice Beams, Thunderbolts and Flamethrowers at each other. Ash hated this; it reminded him of the big fight between Mea and Mewtwo, only this was worse. Suddenly, a big swirling geyser appeared, hitting the three birds. The geyser then broke apart revealing a Moemon.
"It is the Great Guardian, Lugia." Slowking said.
Lugia wore a blue leotard with white leggings, and long white sleeves that went past her arms, ending in what looked like large feathers. Her hair was the same white-colored as her clothes, with blue stripes. Her hair went down to her neck, and sticking back, and she had large blue eyes. Her back had eight blue extensions, with a long white tail behind her, and she had pale skin.
Ash knew that Lugia was gonna do her best to stop the three birds, but he also knew that she was gonna need help. He jumped off to the base of the island, and at the same time, Pia, Es and Mea teleported to his side, having dropped off the four Land Spirit Moemon at the Moemon Center. "We need to get the treasure of Ice Island, and fast!" Mea urgently told her trainer.
Ash nodded. "Mokou, Inabikari, Hourai and Mea, you four help Lugia fight off the Titan! Pina, I need you to give me a lift to Ice Island! Pia and Es, you're coming with me, too!" Ash's Moemon nodded, and then he turned to his friends. "You guys stay here. This is something that I must do as the Chosen One."
"Be careful, Ash." Serena said, worried about him.
Ash gave his long-time friend an assuring smile, and then climbed into Pina's back. "Let's go, girls!" He shouted, and his Moemon sprung into action.
Lugia was having a difficult time with the three Legendary Birds of Shamouti. Being outnumbered three-to-one, all she could do was defend herself with Protect, Safeguard and Light Screen. It didn't help that at one point, she got clipped by one of Moltres's Flamethrowers, so she doesn't have her Multiscale ability active anymore, and these three certainly aren't gonna just let her use Recover. Right now, she was surrounded by Moltres, Zapdos and Articuno, using Protect, Light Screen and Safeguard to defend herself from their Fire Blast, Thunder and Blizzard. And just when it seemed like the last barrier was gonna give way and she was gonna get hurt...
"Sacred Fire!"
"Rock Slide!"
A rose-colored flame speared at Articuno, getting a yelp from her and forcing her to retreat back, while falling rocks forced Moltres and Zapdos to stop their attacks and dodge.
Finally given reprieve, Lugia willfully dropped her barriers and looked to see who saved her, and was quite surprised by who she saw. "Ho-Oh? What are you doing here?" She asked as the Storm's End flew to her side with Mokou, Inabikari and Mea.
"Our trainer, the Chosen One, told us to help you while he retrieves the final treasure from Ice Island." Hourai explained.
"I see." Lugia nodded in understanding. "Well, I'm grateful for your help." An Ice Beam barely missed her and Hourai, signaling that the Titans were ready for more.
"How long has it been since we fought together?" Hourai asked, a smile forming on her face.
"Too long." Lugia answered, giving an identical smile, and then the fight between Legendary Moemon resumed.
While the fight was going on, Ash, Pia, Es and Pina had made it to Ice Island. Ash quickly ran up to the shrine and pulled the treasure out from the pedestal, an icy blue glow appearing in the light blue sphere. "Got it!" Ash exclaimed.
"Great! Now let's head back to Shamouti!" Pia exclaimed.
Back with Ash's Legendaries and Lugia, they had just finished taking down the three Titan Birds. Lugia found it easier, thanks to a combination of Hourai's and Mokou's powerful Fire attacks and combo moves against Articuno, Inabikari's Lightning Rod drawing Zapdos's electricity to her and using it to power her own Electric attacks, and Mea's very large move set. "Phew, finally, they're out." Mea breathed a sigh of relief as the Titans fell unconsciously to the frozen sea, and then she noticed Ash leaving Ice Island.
"Looks like the Chosen One has retrieved the final treasure." Lugia smiled. "Now he just needs to place it on the shrine, and-" Before she could finish, electrical triangles suddenly trapped her, making her scream in pain as she was electrocuted.
"Lugia!" Ash's Legendaries gasped. They then realized that Lawrence's ship was not completely destroyed.
"Lugia," Lawrence smirked eagerly, "you are mine!"
Feeling immense pain from the electrical triangles, Lugia gathered her power for one attack. "AEROBLAST!" She fired a beam of compressed air that speared through Lawrence's ship, destroying it for good. The electrical triangles fell to the ground powerless, but so did Lugia, who had lost consciousness from the pain she received. Thankfully, Ash caught her on Pina before she could fall into the ocean.
"That was a close one." Ash said, holding Lugia with one arm. "Come on, girls. Let's head back to Shamouti." Ash and his Moemon flew back to Shamouti Island. Upon landing, the others ran up to him and saw Lugia unconscious in his arms.
"Is Lugia alright?" Melody asked with worry.
"Don't worry, she's just unconscious." Ash told her. "The pain from those capture rings combined with using Aeroblast put too much strain for her to handle, and she passed out."
"She will recover once the song is played." Slowking assured. "But first, Chosen One, the final treasure." Ash nodded and ran up to the shrine, placing the treasure of Ice Island on the final slot. Once he did, the spheres glowed red, yellow and blue inside the shrine, and then a green light appeared. The ancient carved writings on the shrine floor glowed green, and then green water appeared out of the shrine and flowed to the seven pillars of the shrine, turning them into sort of crystal pillars.
"Now's the time for you to play the song." Hourai said to Melody. Melody ran up to the shrine and played Lugia's song (Lugia's song from the film), a different pillar glowing in tune to the song, as if they were keys.
As Melody played the melody, Moltres, Zapdos and Articuno recovered from the fighting and flew into the sky in peace. The bad weather disappeared completely, and the sun started to show itself again. Es helped herself to the warm sunlight, using Morning Sun to recover her energy.
The green water from Shamouti's shrine poured all over the ocean like oil and melted the ice, turning the sea back to normal. Lugia recovered as well, regaining consciousness, and flew up to where Ash was standing. "Climb on." She said, flashing him a smile. Ash climbed onto Lugia's back, and together they took off into the sky, joined by Pia, Es, Hourai, Mea, Inabikari and Mokou. The four Tapus, who had just recovered, flew up to join them as well. Suddenly, a big underwater current, the Beast of the Sea, came out of the ocean and stretched globally like a rainbow. Ash's Moemon, Lugia and the three Titan Birds flew around the four islands and under the current in peace.
The millions of Moemon retreated back to where they came from, swimming, flying and hitching rides. Ash smiled, happy that everything was back to normal at last. His friends, Moemon and Slowking were happy as well. Then Moltres, Zapdos and Articuno suddenly flew into the sunset and disappeared. "What's going on?" Pia asked. "Why are they leaving?"
"Their time in this world is at an end." Lugia answered. "They have been around ever since the prophecy was first written, while many of my ancestor have guarded the sea, waiting for the prophecy to happen."
Ash, Pia and Es were shocked to hear that. "You mean that they were alive all this time?" Ash asked.
"That's right." Hourai nodded. "While Lugia has had others before, the three birds were waiting all this time to be free and move on."
"What's going to happen with the islands, now that they're gone?" Es asked.
"No need to worry." Lugia smiled. "Even if those three are gone, the islands will continue to keep the Beast of the Sea tamed as long as the treasures remain in the shrine."
"That's a relief."
As the song came to an end, the ocean current want back into the sea. As Melody played the last note, the crystal pillars turned back into stone pillars, and she breathed a sigh of relief that the disaster was over at last.
Televisions all over the world showed reports about the weather disasters ending, and about Moemon going back to their homes.
Ash and his Moemon flew back down with Lugia and the four Guardian Deities. "So, the prophecy has been fulfilled." Tapu Koko said. "The Beast of the Sea has been tamed."
"That's right." Hourai nodded. "You've truly proven yourself as the Chosen One, Ash."
"I was only able to do it with everyone's help." Ash said. "Thank you all so much."
"Anytime." Pia smiled, giving him the peace sign.
"So, what now?" Tapu Lele. "Now that the prophecy is over, there's no real reason to be here anymore."
"Well, I'll tell you what you will be doing?" Lugia said, looking at the four sternly. "You four are going to find yourselves some trainers."
"Eh?" The Tapus asked, surprised.
"You're not as strong as your friends in Alola. I can respect that you did your best to hold back the Titans until I arrived, but you nearly got yourselves killed doing so!"
"Lugia's right." Mea nodded in agreement. "You four need trainers to help you get stronger."
The Guardian Deities looked at each other. "Well, I guess you're right." Tapu Bulu said. "But where are we gonna find trustworthy humans who can properly train us?"
"Actually, I think I've already found mine." Tapu Koko said, moving close to Ash.
"Me too." Tapu Fini said, moving up to Misty.
"Me three!" Tapu Lele said, hugging Serena.
"HUH!?" Misty and Serena shouted with shock. Ash just blinked, more surprised that Misty and Serena were chosen by Legendaries.
"Really?" Tapu Bulu asked her sisters.
"I had seen her battle with another Water Trainer on Kinnow Island, and can sense her love and passion for Water Moemon." Tapu Fini said. "I'm positive that she would be an excellent trainer for me." Misty was surprised to hear that Tapu Fini has watched her battle with Marina.
"I can sense a lot of potential from this girl, so I'm choosing her as my trainer." Tapu Lele said. "Besides, Koko already took my pick." Serena wasn't sure how to feel about Tapu Lele's reasoning, although, she felt there was another reason for her decision.
"Well, if you say so." Tapu Bulu shrugged. "My trainer isn't here, although, I feel that he is somewhere in the Orange Islands." She flew off into the sky.
Watching Tapu Bulu leave, Ash then turned to Tapu Koko. "Are you sure about this?"
"Positive." Tapu Koko nodded. "You're gonna need all the help you can get going forward on your journey." Ash nodded and tapped a Moe Ball on Tapu Koko, capturing her with no resistance. Serena and Misty did the same with Tapu Lele and Tapu Fini.
"Wow." Serena said. "I can't believe we have Legendary Moemon, now."
"Yeah." Misty nodded. "Such an air of responsibility... Is this how it usually feels whenever you catch a Legendary, Ash?"
"Usually." Ash confirmed, and then sent Tapu Koko back out. "Welcome to the team. I supposed...how does Tokiko sound?"
"Sure, Master." Tapu Koko, now named Tokiko, nodded, accepting her name. Serena decided to name Tapu Lele Leyla, while Misty named Tapu Fini Hiei.
"Ash!" A familiar voice called him as he saw his mother run towards him with Professor Oak, Professor Ivy and Seira.
"Mom!" Ash called out. "And Professor Oak and Seira!"
"Okay, start talking." Delia said sternly. "You are in big trouble, mister!"
"Um, excuse me, Mrs. Ketchum," Misty said nervously, "but Ash just saved the entire world.
"I could've lost my entire world!" Delia rebuked and then sighed. "Every day, I worry about you two, Ash and Tomo, and I wonder if you two are okay. I know very well I can't stop either of you from doing what you're doing, but I can't stop missing you both all the time." She hugged her two sons. "Please, try saving the world closer to home next time, and remember that both of you are my heroes."
"We'll certainly try." Ash smiled. "Thanks, Mom."
"If it helps," Lugia spoke up, "as I'm no longer needed, I plan on going with Ash."
"You want to come with me?" Ash asked in alarm.
Lugia nodded. "My purpose for staying here has come to an end, so I will be joining you on your quest."
"Okay, then." Ash said, taking out another Moe Ball, except this one was mostly blue and white.
"What's that?" Tokiko asked, looking at the Moe Ball. "I've never seen a Moe Ball like that before.
"That is a special Moe Ball called a Dive Ball." Oak explained. "Its main function is to make it easier for catching Moemon that live underwater."
"That will definitely do." Lugia gave her approval, and then tapped the center of the Moe Ball with her sleeve, letting herself be captured. After the capture was confirmed, Ash sent out Lugia. "So, what shall my name be?"
"How about Maelstrom?" Ash suggested.
"Maelstrom..." Lugia repeated the name, and then smiled. "Sure. I like the sound of it."
"Alright. Welcome to the team." Ash said, and then he took out Laby, who formed digital screens that showed Maelstrom's and Tokiko's data.

Info: Although one of the four Guardian Deities, Tapu Koko are surprisingly fickle Moemon, and will not necessarily come to aid those in danger, unless that person so happens to be their trainer. They do, however, have a strong sense of curiosity. If they become interested in a person or in other Moemon, they will come to play or battle with them.
"Congratulations on your captures." Ivy congratulated.
"Thanks." Ash thanked her, and then remembered something. "Oh yeah. Maelstrom, can I have one of your Silver Wings?"
Maelstrom blinked. "That's an interesting first request. Any particular reason."
Ash went into his ruck sack and pulled out the GS Ball. "You see, we think there is something inside this GS Ball, but nothing seems to be able to open it. However, half of it seems to react to the Rainbow Wing Hourai gave me." To prove this, he pulled out the Rainbow Wing and held it close, and then the top half of the GS Ball glowed with it, surprising Oak. "We think that it will open with the powers of both the Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing."
"I see." Maelstrom nodded in understanding. "Very well, then." With a few flaps of her arms, one of her Silver Wings drifted to the ground. Ash picked it up, holding it with the same hand that held the Rainbow Wing, and held them close to the GS Ball. The Silver Wing began to glow, and with it, the bottom half of the GS Ball, and then the ball began to glow brighter before finally opening, revealing its contents.
"FINALLY!" The Moemon that came out yelled. She wore a light green shirt with long sleeves and a mint-colored skirt, and had messy green hair. She wore a pair of black goggles around her neck, and had mischievous blue eyes that seemed happy for her release, and translucent wings sticking out of her back for flight. She wore a green scarf, and had two green antenna sticking out of her head. "About time someone else collected both wings and opened that thing!"
"Celebi!?" The Legendaries shouted with shock.
"My word." Professor Ivy said, surprised. "A Mythical Moemon was inside the GS Ball."
Celebi looked around, seeing her fellow Legendaries. "Oh, hey guys!" She greeted with a smile. "Long time no see!"
"I would certainly say so!" Hourai exclaimed. "Where were you!?"
Celebi rubbed the back of her head nervously. "Yeah, well, it's quite a story."
"We're listening." Mea said, looking at her intently.
Celebi took a deep breath, and then began explaining. "Well, I kinda lost track of how long it's been since been..."
"That's unusual for a Time Travel Moemon." Inabikari frowned.
"Shut up." Celebi muttered. "But anyway, some evil human stole the Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing from the Ecruteak City Gym and used them to forge that thing." She explained, pointing at the GS Ball in Ash's hands. "He then used it to capture me, and then used my powers to bring the destruction of Tin Tower."
Hourai gasped. "That was...one hundred years ago." She said. "And that was your doing!?"
"I had heard that the original Tin Tower was destroyed in by the thunderstorm that happened that day." Oak said, surprised by the news. "But now, the truth is starting to come to light."
Celebi nodded, looking guilty. "I had no control over my actions, and I still feel guilty that I was powerless to stop him. Thankfully, he ended up losing hold over me in a storm made by Kyogre, but because he made it so that I couldn't get out on my terms, and that the GS Ball could only be opened by those who have obtained the Rainbow and Silver Wings, I've been stuck in there ever since."
"Damn..." That was all Ash could say to that. 'To think Celebi is being held against her will...' He thought, feeling uncomfortable. 'Having this GS Ball in nothing more than enslaving her.'
Celebi looked at the Rainbow and Silver Wings in Ash's hands. "So, you've collected both wings, too, huh?" She asked. "That would explain how you were able to let me out."
"Not just that." Hourai said. "Maelstrom and I have decied to join him as his Moemon."
Celebi looked very surprised. "Really? Is he that trustworthy of a human?"
"He's the Chosen One." Maelstrom replied. Celebi was even more surprised.
"I don't like this right now." Ash said, getting Celebi's attention. "With you being held against your will inside this Moe Ball, it practically makes you nothing more than a slave, and I don't like that." He told her. "I want you to be free, Celebi. I promise that I'm going to find some way to free you from the GS Ball."
Celebi stared at him. "I can tell how sincere you are." She said, and then hugged him with a smile. "Thank you. In the meantime, I won't mind being your Moemon as well."
Ash was surprised that Celebi would want to join him, but nodded. "Okay, then. I guess I'll call you Sakuya."
"Sure thing." Celebi, now named Sakuya, smiled.
"Three Legendaries in one day." Misty said, shaking her head. "Only you, Ash. Only you."
"Well, we caught Legendary Moemon as well, so we can't really say much." Serena pointed out."
"True." Misty admitted as Laby bring up a digital screen that showed Sakuya's data.

"I'm so jealous." Tracey said enviously. "You all caught Legendary Moemon today."
"Well, if it makes you feel better, we'll let you write sketches of our Moemon." Ash suggested. Tracey immediately nodded happily.
"So, what now?" Pia asked. "If only Ash can let out Sakuya, wouldn't that mean he has to keep her Moe Ball with him at all times?"
"It's that problem with Laby all over again." Es groaned.
"In that case, I know how to solve that problem." Oak said. "Mea, could you Teleport me back to my lab?"
"Sure thing, Professor!" Mea nodded, and then Teleported back to Pallet with Oak.
"Is he going to increase your carry limit again?" Serena asked.
"Looks like it." Ash replied, and then a moment later, Mea came back.
"Alright, Ash. Oak doubled your carry limit, so you can now carry 16 Moemon with you." Mea reported. "That means you can bring more of us along to help you!"
"If it means my son will be much safer travelling, then I'll happily accept it." Delia smiled.
"Cool. I'll have to thank Professor Oak." Ash said, grinning.
So, in the end, the disaster of the Orange Islands under control again. No more disaster weathers, and the Shamouti Legendary Birds have finally moved on from their duties. The islanders of Shamouti held a festival to celebrate Ash's success in fulfilling the Prophecy of the Chosen One. Delia decided to take part before she and Seira went back to Pallet via Mea teleporting them, and Professor Ivy went back to her lab on Valencia Island, happy that the mystery of the GS Ball has finally been solved. The next day after the festival, Ash, Tomo, Misty, Serena, Giselle and Tracey continued their journey through the Orange Islands.
As for Lawrence, who survived the destruction of his ship and had witnessed the real Beast of the Sea, he discovered his ancient Mew card and decied to build his collection again, but this time on a smaller scale and nothing to do with catching Legendary Moemon.
Movie 2 DONE!
This is pretty much showing just how serious Ash can be when the stakes are really high. Being the Chosen One puts a lot of pressure on you.
I know the shrines on the Lightning and Ice Islands were destroyed in the film, but I don't like seeing ancient shrines and buildings destroyed, so I've kept them undamaged.
This was ultimately where I was going with the Tapus. Ash has Tapu Koko, because honestly, I felt like Koko was one of the Legendaries that would join Ash, Misty has Tapu Fini because Fini's a Water-type Moemon, and Serena has Tapu Lele, because...what are you planning, Leyla? 'Where is Tapu Bulu, and who is she gonna choose for her trainer?' you might ask. Well, you'll have to wait and find out.
Like Tapu Koko, Lugia was one of the Legendaries that I felt would join Ash, and for good reason, too, as they practically teamed up to save the world. Sorry if anyone was expecting Ash to also catch Slowking or Articuno, but I felt that Slowking is better off in Shamouti guarding the treasures in Shamouti's shrine, as without the Titan Birds, they are the only ones keeping the Beast of the Sea tame.
Also, the GS Ball has finally opened, and out came a Celebi! Like I said, I don't plan on Ash releasing any Moemon, so Sakuya will be staying with him, but in the meantime, he will find a way to free her from the GS Ball. Sakuya will also be a default member in the meantime.
Also, Ash's party size increased again. He's gonna need it with the stuff he'll be getting into.
Now that all that's hopefully settled, see you guys next chapter!
