Last Part.
Chapter 34: New World II
(Harbor)
As the water level started to rise from the battle a small puddle started to form around Ruby. The water started to make it's way inside his mouth forcing him to wake up. The young man cough the water out, then he looked at where he was. His face still in the ground all the he did was role to his back to get a look at the sky. What he saw scared him. "What happen to the sky!?" yelled Ruby. The young man used all his strength to get up. As he got up another earthquake stared knocking him down.
"AWWWWW" scream Ruby. Tears started to run down his face. "WHY Why can't I win… I just wanted to make those guys pay for what they did, but I can't…. I lost" said Ruby. As he took another look around he notice that there was May in the ground pass out.
"May!" yelled Ruby running toward her.
"wha… what" said May waking up. As her eyes open the first thing that she saw was Ruby. In the back of her mind she was mad at him, for what was happening, but those feelings were being overshadowed by her fear, and her relieve for seeing him. "Ruby" said May resting her head on his chest.
"I'm sorry" said Ruby. "I didn't want you to get involve"
"What is going on?" said May.
"I have no idea, before I passed out Groudon, and Kyoger started to fight, but now" said Ruby. "I have no idea"
"This is all your fault" said May head-butting Ruby.
"What the hell!?"
"What did you do to get in Magma's bad side!"
"You got it wrong they got on my bad side" said Ruby. "I mean they… hurt me"
"What!?" said May. "Stop making me feel sorry for you, just tell me what happen to you" finished May. The girl looked at the boy for any sing that he was finally going to talk to her, but nothing. What… what is this boy hiding that started a war against Magma, and aqua. Ruby looked back at may and reached for his hat, as he was about to remove it another man approached them.
"Well isn't that sweet you two are awake!" yelled Maxie laughing. "HAhAHA"
"Maxie… what happen to you?" ask Ruby. While the two of them were unconscious the orb started to take control of Maxie, his arm now full of markings, the same as groundon, no doubt Archie is suffering just like him. "Your arm!"
"Yes this is power…. You know I just thought of something I really don't care why you started this… war against me. In fact I should be thanking you, without you none of this could have happen" said Maxie. The red hair man reached out to Ruby grabbing him, and May with the power of the orb, they were nothing but paper to him. He lifted them up and walked toward the edge of the harbor. Which at this point was nothing more than a bridge toward the ocean. "That still doesn't mean I don't want you dead good bye" said Maxie dropping both of them.
"Awwww"
Ruby and May started to fall to the ocean. Ruby needed to act fast he looked at May and stretched out his arm. "May grab on to me" said Ruby. Ruby started to reach for his pocket. One thing about trainers that needs to be understood is that they always have a plan. "Get us out of here" said Ruby blinking.
Pokedex:
Celebi: It has the power to travel across time…
A small green fairy pokemon appeared in front of Ruby taking both their hand and taking them to a place that time hasn't touch.
(White Space)
"Where are we" said May.
"In a place where I like to go to when I need to escape" confessed Ruby.
"Where is that"
"Mirage Island" said Ruby. The fog covering the surrounding started to disappear reveling that they were in fact in an island. Covered in trees, and surrounded by the vast ocean. They were nowhere near Black City, in fact they were in the world.
May sat down in the grass looking at the ocean keeping her distance from Ruby. Ruby on the other hand looked at the sky watching his old friend flying around.
After a quick stretch he turned around to face May.
"So… you wanna hear my story?" ask Ruby.
"Now you want to be honest" said May.
"It's not just about being honest I want to tell you everything…."
"Alright Ruby shoot…"
A few years ago before I ran away I from home I used to love battles…
(Story)
I never lost, not even once. I was the best all my pokemon loved me. Then one day she came into my life.
"Hey" said a voice.
"huh" said Ruby putting his last touches on his ralts latest outfit.
"Are you ruby?" ask the girl.
"Yeah, let me guess you're here for a battle" said Ruby.
"Yeah I am so what do you say"
"(Smile) sure why not… maybe afterwards I can teach you how to dress"
"Hey what's that supposed to mean, whatever let's go"
She was full of life nothing I hadn't seen before, so I knew I was going to win, but of course I was wrong. She beat me two to one, I never stood a chance. I laid in the dirt looking at her.
"I won I won!' yelled the girl.
"…"
"Hey are you crying?" ask the girl.
"I'm not crying… I just got dirt in my face….see" said Ruby rubbing dirt in his face.
"Oh brother" said the girl pulling out a handkerchief whipping his face. "Listen loosing shouldn't turn you into a child, it should give you a reason to get stronger" said the girl.
"I guess you're right" said Ruby, "Next time I'll beat you, you'll see"
"Challenge accepted" said the girl extending her hand. "Name's Courtney Marge"
"I'm Ruby Norman"
"Well then Ruby, let's battle again sometime"
And we did we battle over and over again, soon we stopped battling and started to just hang out you know like friends. And yes I taught her how to dress. Then I finally gather enough courage and…
"Will you go out with me" said Ruby blushing.
"Wha…" Courtney couldn't finish her sentence.
"I said go out with me" said Ruby.
"Mnnn I don't know" teased Courtney.
"What why… I, I" said Ruby with tears gathering.
"Oh relax will yah yes, yes I go out with you" said Courtney hugging him.
We started to go out for a whole year. I always tried my best to keep her happy, I thought I knew her, but I had no idea she was hiding something.
"What…" said Ruby looking at courtney wearing a new outfit.
"I'm joining a group of people that want to change the world" said Courtney.
"Why?"
"Because… you wouldn't understand" said Courtney walking away. "We can still be together, just not where they can see us"
"It's okay by the way that outfit looks bad on you" said ruby trying to make her smile.
"I know…"
Even though we stopped seeing each other we were still in love. At least that's what I thought.
Then it happened…
A fire broke out in one of the house in the middle of the night. When I woke up my father old me it was nothing to worry about but as I looked out the window I saw where the fire was coming from. "Courtney" yelled Ruby as he jumped out the window running toward her house. Since I always visited her I knew all the short cuts to her house, I made it before anyone else did. Standing in front of the house were a group of people. They stood there a while longer. Before they walked away…
"Courtney" said Ruby running inside the fire.
The house was falling apart, in the mist of it all I made it to the living room, where three bodies were laying on the floor. I ran toward them, and I couldn't believe it her parents were dead. I grabbed Courtney thinking she died too, but then she started to cough. "Ruby…"
"Courtney I getting out of here"
"No you can't"
"What do mean" said Ruby. I looked down and saw blood coming of her. She was shoot. "No come on!"
"Ruby listen to me I… my dad he…" Courtney knew that it was over, so instead of telling him everything she decided to tell him what he wanted to hear. "I love you"
"No please wake up" said Ruby coughing. "We need to get out of here" Ruby tried to get up again as the fire started to cover the house. The roof of the first floor came down hitting Ruby in the head. With a piece of wood lunched in his head, blood covering his eye, Ruby made one last attempt to escape the house. Making it out in time before he passed out.
An hour later the firemen arrive stopping the fire. One of them told me that was lucky to be alive. That's when I knew I was born again in fire.
I wanted revenge… I wanted to track them down. By the time I found them they became team Magma, and Aqua. They station themselves in Black City. My family started to notice my obsession with Aqua, and Magma. They wanted me to stop but I didn't listen, soon I ran away from home, and made my way to black city. My plan was to gain their trust and steal the orbs that they were looking for, then when they started to fight each other, leaving their leader expose for me to have my revenge, but…
"You had no idea that those orbs were as powerful as they said they were" said May finishing his story for him.
"Yeah and now I'm here again…"
"Where is here?" ask May.
"Mirage Island is a place where time stops, think about it like limbo, nothing happens here…" said Ruby.
"This place sounds depressing" added May.
"No… you" said Ruby as a small green fairy looking pokemon flew down toward him. "Celebii is here to keep us company"
"What is that" ask May.
"He is a time traveling pokemon… I met him while traveling to Black City, he became my friend"
"Time traveler… hey I got it why don't you use him to take us back in time to when they attack Courtney, you can stop the fire, and all this will never happen" suggested may.
"That is not how it works you see Celebii only appears during time of happiness" said Ruby. "I was happy back then so when I caught him, I thought that I could change the future, but turns out even though I was happy, she wasn't she was hiding something, under all those smiles, she was sad…"
"Oh Ruby… I'm sorry"
"Don't be, listen I could get you back home… it won't change anything but at least you can be with your friends"
"No listen as long as I'm here I want to help you, even if it's for revenge, at least I can help you stop them" said May.
"I can't stop them"
"Not alone you can't that's why I want to help you" said May.
"No… even together we can't beat them, we need help" said Ruby.
"Wait when I found you in streets what happen to you anyways?" ask May.
"I was in a battle I don't know how but Crystal, and Ethan found out about me, then silver showed up…"
"That's it they must know something that could help us. We have to find them" said May.
"Okay, I'll open the portal back to where we were, then we make a run for it" said Ruby. The young man took a deep breath and look at May. "Are you ready"
May walked toward Ruby smiling. The young girl took his hand, and looked at him full of confidence. "Let's go"
Ruby looked back at her before taking her hand walking side by side toward celebii ready to change the world.
(Black City)
The Dome surrounding the city faded away, and the world for a second went back to normal. After the moment ended, Magma, and aqua kept on fighting, while more and more people stared to run toward the school. Fantina stood in front of the gates watching people go by.
"Oh…my" said Fantina.
"What is it" said Blain approaching her.
"So many people I don't think we'll be able to take care of them all" worried Fantina. "What the…" said Fantina looking at the sky. The dome surrounding the city started to fade away.
"What do we have here" said Blaine.
"Looks like we can rest a little easier" said Fantina as she looked at the gate of the school. "Cheren"
"Principal Fantina something entered through the dome, where's N?" said Cheren.
"Ash…" said N walking toward them, with him was Hilda, and Bianca.
"Ash? But didn't you…" said Cheren.
"Looks like we didn't" said Hilbert finally getting his strength back.
"Hilby" said Bianca hugging him. The embrace didn't last long as Bianca turned around to look at the rest of the group. "I saw the pokemon head toward the new world tower, looks like whatever was going on there it ended" said Bianca.
"Yeah, but now the question is what is he going to do now?" ask N.
(New World Tower)
Both Dialga, and Giratina landed in the building looking at group of teens infront of them. "It is done" said Giratina.
"Wow what he can talk" said Barry caught off guard.
"Oh yeah, I guess there is a few things I should fill you on" smiled Ash.
"excuse me, I know this is a nice reunion, but look" said Burgundy looking out the hole in the building. Even though the dome was gone, there was still a gang war in the streets, and beyond that there were two monsters fighting. "What is going on?"
"I was about to ask the same question" said Ash.
"Groundon, and Kyoger" said giratina. "These two are stuck in an endless battle for dominance of the world"
"What type of dominance" ask Burgundy.
"Water, and land one can bring down powerful rays of light, while the other can submerge entire cities. Last time they fought massive bodies of land were left behind, those land mass became the continents" explained Giratina.
"We have to stop them, they're going to tare the city apart." Said Ash.
"We cannot stop their battle" said Dailgia.
"You see their battle is endless, no one can interfere, they will try to protect each other if they sense anyone trying to stop them"
"So that's it there is nothing we can do" said Barry.
"There has to be something" said Ursula yelling from where she was. Urusla was holding Paul in her arm as he laid sleeping.
"Wha… what happen" said Paul looking at Ursula. "Ursula… why are you here"
"After all this you still want to know why I'm here, I want to help you" said Ursula tearing up a little.
"I'm sorry" said Paul before he got on his knees facing Ursula face to face. Before she could say anything Paul wrapped his arms around her pulling her in. "Thank you"
Ursula stood in silence thinking about what to do next. Should she hug him back, or slap him or of course…
Ursula kissed him. After she pulled away Ursula didn't let him say a word she simply started to get up. "Come on let's go get your brother" said Ursula, "I'll explain everything (TO Barry) Are you guys going to be alright"
"Yeah, Burgundy…" said Barry.
"I'm fine" said Burgundy.
Ash looked at the city a little while longer before he turned to see his friends. "Guys…"
"Ash…" said Paul. "what are you doing here"
"He came to help us right…" ask Ursula.
"Yeah, listen you guys still need to look for Paul's brother, Barry, Burgundy look over there" said Ash. Barry, and Burgundy looked at where Ash was pointing, the two of them notice the strange force field surrounding the school. "Let's go there, Ursula you finish helping Paul then try to meet us in the school, okay?"
"Right be careful guys" said Ursula.
"Right hop in guys" said Ash, as giratina lowered his head allowing the other the two to jump in to. "Hang on guys"
"Okay" said Burgundy grabbing on to Barry.
"Let's go" said Barry. Giratina started to spread its wings before he took flight. Souring threw the city Ash started to look down again at the people wondering how many people are down there fighting, how many people knew that he was gone, did anyone even missed him. "Ash…" said Barry. Ash turned to face his best friend. "Glad to have you back, now come on time to see what's going on"
The force field covering the school was caused by a mysterious pokemon known as Mewtwo, a pokemon that was created by scientist in order to create the ultimate pokemon. While his hatred for humans is so deep to the point that he is considered to have the coldest heart of any pokemon, there are people that he still cares for. One being Blaine his creator…
"Thank you my friend" said Blaine. "(Looking up) That thing that flew into the tower is coming this way, I wonder what it want?"
N walked toward Blaine placing his hand on his shoulder. "Stand back I'll handle this"
"Very well" said Blaine stepping away.
N stood in the gates of the of School waiting for "him" to arrive. The pokemon landed as Ash stepped down followed by Barry, then Burgundy.
"Alright we're here now what Ash?" ask Barry.
"Let's look for…"
"Welcome" said N looking at Ash.
Ash looked at N with a deep hatred in his eye. Both trainers walked toward each other never taking their eyes away from the other. Two warriors finally face to face simply kept on looking at each other. "N…"
"Ash Ketchum"
"N… or should I call you king, or wait Natural Harmonia Gropius"
"King huh, How much do you know about me?"
"Listen N, I don't hate you, I get where you're coming from I know what you did" said Ash.
"Well in that case you know I don't need to apologize to you, for our battle" said N.
"There is only one thing I don't understand why did you judge me before you even got a chance to get to know me"
"I saw your battle against Lucas, I saw how destructive that pokemon is, I couldn't just let you go around my city attacking everything you want!"
"I had a reason to fight, but in the end I should thank you because of you my bond with giratina is stronger, but now (Grabbing N by the shirt) I want to know what's going on" said Red.
"Stop it" yelled Hilda.
"Let go of him, and we will tell you everything just let him go" said Bianca standing with Hilda.
"Bianca!?"said Barry.
"Who?" said Burgundy.
"My sister"
"Let's head inside" said Hilbert.
The group entered the force field, inside the force field Ash had a good chance to see just how bad it was getting in the city. All around him were families scared out of their mind, and others trying to find out what was going on. "What is happening?" finally ask Ash.
"There is a war going on between Magma, and Aqua somehow they were able to summon two legendary pokemon, sorry that is all we know" said Bianca. "We sent Cheren Crystal and Green to find out anything else, but so far…"
"Guys yelled" Cheren. "We saw Giratina fly by here so we came to help (looking at Ash) out…"
"Yep don't worry we're not here to fight" said Barry, "We want to help"
"How can we trust you, specially with that thing you have" said Cheren.
"I don't care if you don't trust us, I just want to help…"said Ash.
"Don't bother with him Ash, I don't think he is going to get it" said Barry.
"Stay out of this Barry" said Cheren.
"Or what!"
"barry please" said Bianca.
"Everybody please come down" said Hilda.
"Oh man things are getting heated" said Green.
"RWWWWWWW" a roared was heard calming everyone down.
"guys" said Ethan riding Suicune.
"Ethan, Silver" said Crystal running toward them.
"Hey, so what did I miss" said Ethan. "Who's that?" ask Ethan looking at Ash.
"You look familiar" said Silver. "Barry, wait a minute"
"didn't we fought you, yeah we battled you and Paul, what happen to that guy" said Ethan.
"He's good, I guess I should introduce myself, Ash Ketchum"
"Ethan, but you can just call me gold" said Ethan completely oblivious to what was going on. "Anyway while we were battling we met someone that wants to help us look" said Ethan pointing at Anabel riding Raikou.
"Hello my name is Anabel… Ash!" said Anabel running by his side. "Sorry it took so long, so what did I miss"
"Wait who are you?" ask N. "How do you know Him"
"Let me explain that" said Fantina approaching them.
"Mom!" yelled Burgundy.
"MOM!?" yelled the rest of the group.
"Hello my daughter we'll catch up later, but first N, Ash enough of your fighting. Alder told me that you were with him, I kept it a secret to keep N away until I was sure that he truly changed his ways. Anyway Anabel is an old student of this school, now she lives in white forest with Alder a pokemon master" said Fantina.
"It feels so good to be back in the city, but I just wished that it was under better circumstances," said Anabel.
"We have to stop those pokemon from fighting, is there anyone over there right now" ask Ash.
"Yeah Blue is over there right now fighting those things" said Green keeping her distance.
"Have you heard anything from him?" ask Ash.
"No, but I know he's fine…" before Green could finish another earthquake hit the city. This was the first earthquake since Garry started to battle.
"Garry!" said N. "I'll go get him" said N before he collapse due to his injuries.
"We need to go get him, but N you're still hurt" said Hilda.
"I'll go get him" said Green. Green started to run out the force field, on her way out she bump into an old friend. "MAY!"
"Hey…" said May walking side by side with Ruby. "We found Garry"
Ruby place Garry down in the floor. "No!" yelled Green.
"Take him inside the rest of you come on" said Fantina.
(Inside the school- Nurse office)
Garry lay in bed resting, with signs of an intense battle all over his body. Next to him was Green waiting for him to get up. Outside was the rest of the group, Hilda was helping N with his injuries while Cheren was in the phone, the rest were talking to each other.
"Dam it" said Cheren hanging up his phone. "Tobias is not answering I have a bad feeling we are going to need to look for him later"
"Yeah okay" said Hilbert.
Ethan, was talking to Anabel. "SO you can really talk to your pokemon"
"Yeah" said Anabel.
Silver stood staring at her in anger, while also keeping an eye on Ruby who was with May, Barry, and Ash. Both groups stood a fair distance away from each other, since they both knew that if the other got close they would start a fight. Soon Fantina arrive with Burgundy and Sabrina. "So how are we doing"
"We're fine, and Garry is resting" said N grabbing his arm.
"Yeah, but I think is time we got some answers" said Silver walking toward Ruby. "You start talking"
"Get away from him" said May.
"It's okay I'm not afraid of you, (Looking around) but I think it's time for me to tell you what is going on" Ruby started to tell them the entire story, about his relationship with Magma, and aqua about the orbs, and how to stop them.
"So all that we need to do is battle the people holding the orbs" said N.
"It won't be that simple if you get close to them those monsters are going to attack, and I'm guessing you already know what they can do" said Ruby.
"Right so then… there is no choice we are going to have to take those creatures out first just to give us enough time get the orbs" said Ash.
"Wow what do you mean we" said Ethan. "I don't work for you"
"Ethan enough this is serious" said Crystal. "If we all work together we might come up with something, but what about the other battles going on around the city, even if we work together we'll still be outnumber"
"So there is nothing we can do" said Ruby.
"That is where you are wrong kid" said a familiar voice approaching them.
"WHaT ARE YOU DOING HERE" yelled Fantina.
"That man" said Burgundy.
"Father…"whisper Silver.
"(Smile) Good afternoon children" said Giovanni.
"Who are you?" ask Ash.
"Giovanni…." Said Fantina. "To what do we owe the pleasure?"
"Fantina it's a pleasure to see you, I'm here to offer my help" said Giovanni.
The group stood quiet until Silver walked up to his father. "Yeah right and what do you gain by helping us" said Silver.
"He's right you aren't the type to just help people in trouble" said N.
"But you aren't the type to help people at all, what makes you better than me?" questioned Giovanni. N didn't say anything, "According to what I'm seeing you all need all the help you can take…"
"But we don't need yours" said Silver.
"What is going on" said Ash to Barry.
"Beats me, but looks like there is some bad blood" said Barry.
"He's name is Giovanni" said Burgundy. "He is an expert ground type trainer considered one of the best trainers in the world. He is also the leader of team Rocket" said Burgundy.
"WHAT!?" said both Ash, and Barry. Ash then started to look back at the time that he encountered team ROCKET. "We can't trust him" said Ash.
"That is not your decision to make, you aren't trusted either" said Ruby who was listening in. "I'm on the same boat"
"How will you be able to help us" ask Fantina.
"Simple you guys are out number, and I happen to have an army, so how about we work together to clean up the streets"
"And what about the giant pokemon" said Fantina following along with what he was saying.
"A few months ago I hired a man to search the forest for a source of power… what he found was a pokemon with a truly unique gift, the only problem is that he lost it to a pokemon trainer (looking at Ash) you there what is your name?" said Giovanni.
"Ash" he responded.
"Is it true that you were in white forest training"
"Yeah"
"While in white forest you met a man by the name corless correct" said Giovanni.
"Get to the point" said Silver losing his patients.
"You fought Corless over a pokemon that you currently own?" ask Giovanni.
"Yeah what do want with meloetta?" ask Ash.
"That little pokemon is our ace in the hole, I'm sure you heard it yourself that voice is so powerful it can calm even the most violent pokemon, I know a way that Meloetta can learn a song powerful enough to defeat those two out there"
"But what about the orbs, as long as magma, aqua have control of those orbs there is nothing we can do, they will just keep on fighting" said Ruby.
"In that case we battle both of them, and get the orbs from them" said N.
"I'll go take on maxie" said Ruby.
"I'll go with you" said May. "We're going to end this!"
"But what about Groundon and Kyoger? How are we suppose to distract them long enough for you guys to…" said Bianca before she could finish the door of the nurse's office open.
"We'll handle that!" said Garry walking out of the room. The young man took the time to look at the faces that joined the group and the old faces from his past. "So Giovanni, why do you want to help us?"
"That is my business kid, and you can stop hiding girl" said Giovanni.
"I am not hiding from you" said Green walking out standing next to Garry. "I'm not scared of you, and I don't follow you anymore"
"Anymore?" said May.
"It doesn't matter in any case we need to work together" said Ash. "Even if we hate who we are helping" finished Ash looking directly at N.
"Children before you go I must speak with Giovanni" said Fantina. "Come with me"
"My pleasure" said Giovanni.
The group was left alone again as a long silence followed. Ruby stood with May, Barry Burgundy Anabel stood with Ash, Silver Ethan and Crystal were on their own, Green was with Garry, the rest stood with N. The silence ended when Garry walked up to Ash. "Hey you!" said Garry.
"Yeah?"
"Don't you remember who I am?"
"Of course I do" said Ash. "Garry Oak, one of the strongest trainers in the city, we battle years ago"
"Yeah and it was a draw, ever since then I wanted to beat you now I have three powerful pokemon that I bonded with. (Smile) The best part is that you also have a pokemon just as powerful, in fact we're equals now I can't wait to battle once this is all over" said Garry extending his hand.
Ash took it and shook it. Green jumped in the middle of the moment. "SO now that the ice is broken, I'm Green" said Green, "Blue here is my boyfriend what should I call you?"
"You are so annoying" said Garry.
"It's okay Blue huh, well I'm ash but you can call me Red if you want"
"Red" said Green. "Sure"
"RED!' said Barry. "So you are back YESS! That means we can really win this battle"
"Is he really that strong" whispered Ruby to may as he was watching the small reunion.
"I don't know" responded May. In truth she really didn't…
"You think you are the strongest tell me do you even know how to bond with pokemon" ask N having enough of standing around. "I've seen what you can do with your pokemon and that's destroy." Said N.
"N please give him a chance" said Hilda.
"No you're right" said Ash. "I see the only way to get to know each other is through battle, so (big smile) let's battle sometime"
Ash smile surprise N how could someone in possession of such a monster be this happy. It didn't add up, N looked at Hilda for a moment and came to a conclusion, 'He still didn't understood humans.' N pulled his hat down with a small smile. "After this battle we will battle" said N.
"Not before he battles me" said Ethan.
"Ethan!" said Crystal.
"ASH!" yelled May as the rest of the group look at her.
"May…"
"It's good to see you again we all missed you" said May as she approached the group and started to smile. Ruby watched how happy May got, how she started to talk to the group. Was she doing it for him, so that he would feel safe approaching the group too? Ruby got up with the idea that he was going to try to talk to group. As he about to say something Fantina arrive with Giovanni.
"Children it's time" said Fantina.
"Right Ash you will come with me to Silph Co. Tower in there I left something that we'll need said Giovanni.
"Alright" said Ash.
"I'll go too!" yelled Silver. "I want to see what you are up to"
"Very well"
"Okay then Hilbert, Garry when we recover we'll go fight until then it's all up to you" said N.
"Right"
"Bianca, Hilda stay here and Help the people" said Hilbert.
"Cherren… protect Hilda" said N.
"Right…"
"We'll go to where Archie is" said crystal.
"We?" ask Ethan.
"Yeah we come on" said Crystal tugging his arm.
"Barry you and Anabel help the people in the city" said Ash.
"Burgundy come with me there is something we must discuss" said Fantina looking away from her daughter.
"Mother…"
"I'll go fight Maxie" said Ruby.
"No we'll go fight Maxie" said May correcting him.
Outside the school all the children stood saying their goodbyes.
"Suicune let's go" said Ethan. Crystal jumped on the pokemon's back grabbing Ethan. "Ride!"
"Barry here" said Ash handing him a pokeball. "my infernape might come in handy" said Ash.
"DO you really trust me with him" ask Barry.
"Yeah"
"Right than Anabel?"
"yeah Raikou assist me" said Anabel. "Good luck"
"So shell we go?" said Giovanni.
"Let's go then" said Silver walking in front of them.
"may wait" said Ash.
"Yeah?"
"Where's Dawn?" ask Ash.
"I have no idea, but I'm sure she's safe" said May."Ruby let's go" said May.
We all have our own stories, some may be about truth, others about ideals, lies, love, revenge, or even just to keep fighting. There is one moment where all the stories come together.
"When One Life Meets Another Something Is Born"
Mother why are telling me this.
My daughter Giovanni told me his plan, honey by the end of all this he will be a hero to the people.
What why, how where is Drayden?
He beat him in battle he is going to kick out the few of us that know who he really is. Honey I'm going away for a while I just wanted you to know.
Okay mom I love you.
I know honey but there is a bright side in the end this city will still be standing.
(Archie's Tower)
Ethan and Crystal went inside the tower ready to fight anything in their way. "Alright bring it!" yelled Ethan before he realized that the tower was empty. "What is going on?"
"I don't know but look an elevator we can use to get to the studio area, maybe that's where they all are" said Crystal. The duo stepped inside the elevator making their way to the studio area. As the elevator made its way up to the studio floor another earthquake hit. "Sounds like the battle is already starting"
"Do you really think we can trust Giovanni, I mean he is Silver's Dad, but he is also the leader of team rocket"
"I don't like it as much as you do" said Crystal, "but we have to put our faith in them"
"Yeah Silver, and that Ash guy…"
"Hey you fought him before, Ash I mean how was it" ask Crystal.
"Well I'm not sure, he used a snivy we beat the living day light out of it. I knew it was over we had Paul pin down, but then that snivy got up and used attract I couldn't believe it there was no way we could have lost. There is something about that guy he brought out the best of his pokemon"
"Wow he sounds strong" said Crystal.
"Yeah I guess…. Here we are" said Ethan as the elevator stopped.
The studio became a battlefield were team aqua members, were fighting the actors.
"Emolga use thunderbolt" said Elesa.
"Crawdaunt use water pulse" said an aqua grunt.
"Get them all" said another grunt.
"Walrein"
"Crawdaunt"
"Carvanha"
"ATTACK!"
All of the Pokemon that belong to the actors were taken down by team aqua. "There now stay down" said aqua grunt.
"You'll never get away with this" said one of the actors.
"Oh yeah who is going to stop us" said the grunt.
"That's my cue" said Ethan. "Now use…"
"Extreme speed" said a new voice.
"What the…?"
Suddenly all the pokemon standing were taken down as a blue flash pasted through all of them.
"What the hell is going on!" demanded one of the grunts.
"Thank you my friend" said Riley stepping up.
"RILEY" yelled Elesa.
"Hello come on let's take them down… use aura sphere" said Riley.
"Use discharge" said Elesa. Both attacks took down the rest of the pokemon and the all the grunts. Elesa ran toward Riley hugging him. "You made it"
"Yeah sorry it took so long, but I told you I felt some bad aura"
"Hey" yelled Ethan.
"Kids" said Elesa looking at them. "What are you doing here?"
"Yeah it's dangerous" said Riley.
"We can take care of our self" said Ethan.
"Ethan come on we need to go see Archie" said Crystal.
"Riley we hadn't seen Archie since the earthquakes started, what do you want with him?" said Elesa
"He is the reason why there are earthquake all over the city, he is the head of team Aqua" said Crystal.
Elesa, and Riley looked at each other for a few moments before breaking the silence. "Tell us what you know" said Riley.
(Streets)
Both Magma, and Aqua were still battling with no signs of stopping. The streets of the city were destroyed as the battle kept on going. Suddenly a marching sound was heard all over. A silence followed, and then a chant was heard.
"Raid On the City, Knock Out, Evil Tusks."
"Raid On the City, Knock Out, Evil Tusks."
"Raid On the City, Knock Out, Evil Tusks."
"R.O.C.K.E.T"
"R.O.C.K.E.T"
"R.O.C.K.E.T"
Members of team rocket started coming out of every corner of the city, attacking the weaken forces of both sides. All over the city new battles were starting as team rocket's forces advances they were 'saving' the city.
"Where are they all coming from!"
"Inform Maxie we need back up!"
"Retreat"
(Black City High)
Fantina was in her office with Burgundy waiting for a phone call.
(Ring)
Fantina reach for the phone before Burgundy could say anything.
"Hello?" said Fantina (Listening) "Yes of course… I understand so this was his plan… no doubt the city will follow him, that was his plan all along, so where is Drayden… I see well I'll start packing my things the last thing I want is for him to have the satisfactory of kicking me out himself" finished Fantina. After she hung the phone Fantina turned to her daughter. Burgundy launch herself at her mom giving her a strong hug.
"So he won" said Burgundy. About an hour ago Fantina told her what Giovanni told her.
"Giovanni was aware of what team aqua, and magma were up to how they would soon start a war. With the election on the way he told me that he had a plan to become the big hero"
"We can't let him win, he can't have the city" said Burgundy.
"It's too late he's already cleaning up the city his forces are everywhere soon he'll win the city over and he will get rid of all of us. I don't want him to have that satisfaction so I'll be leaving I'll leave you under the care of my most trusted student" fantina finished as the door opened up. Sabrina walked in looking at her teacher, and Burgundy.
"I found a safe place for you to escape to, are you sure you want to leave?" said Sabrina.
"Yes now take care" said Fantina walking toward the door.
(Aqua Studio Tower)
Ethan and Crystal finished telling Elesa, and Riley everything that they need to know. With some mix reactions…
"Ash is back!" yelled Elesa.
"Yeah you know him" ask Crystal.
"Of course he is my cousin" said Elesa.
"WHAT!" said Crystal. 'who is this Ash guy'
"Do you know where he is?"
"We can have our reunions later right now we should check to top of the studio I think that's where he is" said Riley.
"Are you sure" said Ethan.
"yes I sense that is where most of the bad aura is coming from"
"Aura?" ask Crystal.
"Yes I have a sixth sense, I can sense Aura, that is was makes me an expert in training pokemon like Lucardio" explain Riley.
"That sounds really interesting" said Crystal.
"I'll be happy to explain to you the process of using Aura"
"Oh please"
"But first we need to get going" said Ethan calling up the elevator. The group entered the elevator making their way to the top floor where the leader of Aqua was waiting.
(Top Floor)
Merging with the orb cause strange stripes to grow on Archie's arm, these marks were similar to the ones covering Kyoger. Archie was sitting on his chair enjoying the view of the city's destruction from his office. A man of rare taste his office has pictures of the ocean, and sword hanged around the walls. Archie even kept a sword under his desk. Standing next to him was his trusted second hand Shelly. Unlike her boss Shelly looked at the city with fear that team Aqua has gone too far.
"He promise," said Shelly under her breath.
"What?" said Archie.
"Nothing boss"
Suddenly a grunt appeared passed out as he open the door. The two of them look as Elesa, Crystal, Ethan, and Riley entered the room.
"What do we have here, is it time to pay you already Elesa?" ask Archie.
"No and consider this my resignation" said Elesa.
"Resignation? I see well then I guess there is nothing more I can do, say do you like battling?" ask Archie with a menacing look.
"What wrong with him" ask Crystal. "He looks out of it"
"Is his Aura is covered in dark energy," said Riley. "Stand back I'll take care of him"
"Oh a tough guy huh? Tell me mister…"
"Riley" responded Riley.
"Right… tell me what do you prefer better land, or ocean?"
"Hmm, well if I have to be honest I always found some kind of comfort in looking at the ocean."
"Ahh a man of the sea eh! Well then you and I are lot alike but, that doesn't make us equal, in fact there is only one way to find out if you are even good enough to clean my shoes" Archie started to laugh as he pulled a lever reveling a hidden floor completely flooded. "Come and face me three on three… Tentacruel Go!"
"Very well, Metagross I need your help" said Riley.
Both pokemon came out of their pokeball creating a huge splash.
"Before we start let's raise the stakes" said Archie pulling out the blue orb. Archie stared to glow as the markings on his arm took over the rest of his upper body. "This power incredible"
"What is going on" said Crystal.
"The orb is corrupting his aura that is why I wanted you to stand back, I'm sure you are both fine trainers, but in order to save him we need to break his bond with that orb" said Riley. "Let's go metagross use aerial ace."
"Get on the water" said Archie. Tentacruel moved underwater waiting to strike. Under Metagross a shadow started to appear, as tentacruel's tentacles came from underwater. "Use Wrap" Tentacruel wrapped Metagross in its arms paralyzing it. "ready to quit"
"Not yet… Metagross use Gyro Ball" said Riley. Metagross started spinning as fast as it could pulling Tentacruel into its attack. The two pokemon were spinning around, and around. "Now stop" Metagross came to a complete stop, Tentacruel couldn't hang on any longer letting go of the pokemon hitting of the window. Breaking it into pieces, tentacruel fell off the building. "Use Psychic" Tentacruel was levitating in the air as he was gently put back on the floor.
"Use saved him…" said Archie.
"Yes while it's not my pokemon that doesn't mean I should throw away a life just like that" said Riley. "Now Where were we?"
A sudden sound of metal hitting flesh was heard as Archie swung his sword slicing right through Tentacruel killing the pokemon.
"Weak…" muttered Archie.
"You killed it"
"Those that can't fight the wave, are taken away by the tide, that is the rule of the ocean. So tell me Riley are you going to be washed away" said Archie pulling out another pokeball.
"You Monster" said Crystal.
"You Bastard I'll kill you" said Ethan.
"Stay back" said Elesa. "This isn't your fight"
"But…"
"Trust Riley, he knows what he got himself into"
"How nice" said Archie. "Let's continue"
"Yes"
"Sharpedo go!" said Archie.
""Metagross use…"
"Not so fast Shapedo use bulldozer" said Archie. The ground started to shake.
"Use thunderpunch" said Riley. Metagross launched itself toward the water looking for a chance to hit the pokemon.
"giga impact" said Archie. The attack came from below launching metagross into the air. " Night slash" The attack finished Metagross. Both pokemon landed with only one still awake.
"Metagross" said Riley.
"You held back"
"What?"
"Did the shock of what I did got to you and you held back, pathetic, and here I thought we could be equals"
"I will never be your equal, because I am better than you" said Riley. "Go Breloom use focus punch"
"Use Aqua Jet" Both attacks collided pushing both of them back. "Use waterfall"
"Use bullet seed" the waterfall started to fall toward Riley, but the bullet seeds started to break through. "Sky uppercut"
Knowing that his pokemon was about to lose Archie reached for his sword. Riley saw this and started to run as fast as he could. Shapedo was falling down from the ceiling. Archie waited for the right time to cut him in half, lifting his sword Archie swung again this time hitting another type of flesh. Riley got Sharpedo out of the way, but was cut by the sword.
"RILEY!" Yelled Elesa.
Shelly watch as the pokemon was put back in the water as riley's back was bleeding. "Why did he"
"You fool a few inches closer and I would have cut you in half. What do say about that"
"Now I know that you are beyond saving, I have to beat you right now" said Riley. "Return."
"Oh sending out your strongest pokemon, well then let's go then Walrein go!"
"Lucardio let's end this."
"Use Blizzard" said Archie. Suddenly the entire room turned to ice. "Funny how the whole world changes with one move. So tell me how will you adapt" said Archie.
"Use close combat" said Riley.
"Hah nice try use ice beam" said Achie the attack froze the pokemon.
"Come on" said Ethan. "Typhlosion flame thrower"
"Why you little"
"Emolga use acrobatics" said Elesa.
"Hitmochamp use mega punch" said Crystal.
Ethan, and Crystal got Walrein while Elsa freed Lucardio.
"Thank you"
"What good will that do. Use sheer Cold"
"Use extreme speed" said Riley. That attack knock walrein down into the ground.
"You are all weak, what kind of pokemon am I raising here weak all of you" said Archie pulling out his sword, suddenly Sharpedo came from under the ice and attacked Archie. "What the" The sound of gun fire was heard as archie fell to the ground. Pointing a gun at him was Shelly. "Why"
"You are the weak one" said Shelly turning to the group. "All this ends today take that orb, and leave" said Shelly as she walked toward the door.
(Harbor)
Finally, face to face in the mist of all the danger two forces finally looking at each other.
"Ruby…" said Maxie.
"Maxie…" said Ruby. "Let's end this!"
"Well if it isn't the traitor, or should I say avenger" said maxie followed by a smile. "That's what you are yes, you want revenge for what happen all those years ago, ohhh I remember you"
"You killed my friend!" said Ruby.
"Yes and look what happen, in her death you were reborn" said Maxie. "just like me you were born in fire"
"No I wasn't I'm nothing like you" said Ruby. "You know I hate battling the whole idea of it two pokemon getting hurt and getting dirty, and for what? But you know as much as I hate battling, (Pulling out a pokeball) It's in my blood to battle" said Ruby.
"Well then shall we get this started" yelled Maxie. "Tabitha assist me"
"Yes… sir" hesitated Tabitha.
"I'll help you" said may.
"Crobat go"
Golbat go"
May, and Ruby stood next to each other as they threw their pokeball.
"Swampert go!"
"Aggron battle time"
"Alright let's go Crobat use air cutter" yelled Maxie
"Golbat wing attack" said Tabitha.
"Aggron stone edge" said May. Small rocks started to form around Aggron as the pokemon lunched it toward her opponents. Direct hit.
"My turn Swampert use muddy water" said Ruby. Another direct hit.
"What impossible" said Maxie looking at Tabitha. "Are you even trying"
"Of course I am" said Tabitha hesitating trying to think of a good excuse. "He is just too strong" finished Tabitha before he fell to the ground.
"Crobat use toxic" said Maxie. Tabitha felt a strong pain for every breath he took.
"Why…?"
"Do you take me for a fool" said Maxie kicking him. "You are not holding back because they are strong, you're holding back because you want to live, you want to see your wife again, but have you ever wondered if she loves you so much then why isn't she here with you right now. How come she can't see past your views and just stay by your side, how can you love someone that is the exact opposite of you" said Maxie.
His words didn't just reach Tabitha, his words also spoke to May. How could she like some one that was the exact opposite of her? Then she thought of Drew, the last guy she liked, he was also the opposite of her which led to her breaking up with him. How long will it be until she gets board of Ruby?
"I don't care about how our views collide! The only thing that I care for is that I love her, don't you ever (cough) try to make me think otherwise"
At that moment May look at Ruby and the look in his eyes, this time it wasn't anger, nor regret. This time it was something new it was a look of compassion, and sympathy. He understood where Tabitha was coming from, and he didn't hate him for it. Then May figured it out, what makes him different, Drew was just another pretty face, Ruby is so much more he's passionate, he's strong and above all that he is still a pretty face. May quickly took Ruby's hand to his surprise. She didn't look at him, but he knew that May will now stay by his side.
"Maxie" said Ruby. "Give up you are out matched"
"Heheeeheh do you really think I'm out match look at me I still have one more weapon up my sleeve" said Maxie pulling out the red orb. "Get them Groundon"
The massive pokemon turned around facing Maxie waiting for direction. "And so this world will be reborn in fire use hyper beam!"
The massive pokemon opened it's mouth as a massive amount of energy started to gather into a beam that he fired. The blast caused a massive fire and it destroyed what was left of the harbor. Ruby and May jumped into the water at the last second before the blast got them, but the shock wave pulled them further into the ocean.
May swam up the surface looking for Ruby. "Ruby where are you" suddenly she saw swampert holding Ruby. "Ruby are you okay don't worry I'll get us help Waillord come" yelled May. Under them the massive pokemon appeared. May got ruby on his back and waited a few seconds before he woke up. "Ruby"
"May what happen"
"We're alive but…"
"We need to get back into the battle."
"How are we supposed to beat him that pokemon is too powerful"
"(smile) hey don't you remember is not our job to beat him, we just need to stall him"
"Right" said May. "Waillord go get him" As the pokemon started to swim toward groundon, Kyoger tackle him. "Awww, that's right we still have to fight you too"
"Come on what's taking them so long"
(Silph Co. Tower)
Silver, Ash, and Giovanni were riding a glass elevator facing toward the city, to the top where Giovanni claimed to have a solution to the problem. "So what's the solution?" ask Silver.
"Patience" said Giovanni.
"Aren't you a little suspicions?" ask Silver to Ash.
"The truth is I don't really know if I can trust this man, but he is the only one that has an answer to this so I guess I have to go along"
"Good, now why can't you obey orders like he does silver" said Giovanni.
"Shut up"
"I'm not following orders" said Ash. "I just don't see any other solution" Finished Ash. "I just hope we can end all this now"
(Ruby)
Maxie looked at the sky his mind now lost to the power of the orb, he simply smiled. "Time to change this world… Groundon use Fissure" The whole city started to tremble as two cracks appeared spreading destroying building after building. After it stopped two massive chasm separated the city into three islands. Thanks to the effect of drizzle the holes were quickly turned into rivers. Maxie laught as he finally changed the city. Just then a blue fire ball hit groundon.
"Sorry we're late" said Hilbert. "Zekrom use dragon claw"
"It's N, and Hilbert" said May.
"Yeah I guess Garry must of got hurt worse than we thought but it doesn't matter, Come on may" said ruby.
Maxie looked at all the pokemon gather to try to stop him. "I'm impress that you all believe that you can stop me, Grondon use eruption!"
"He's going mad" said N. "If we can't stop him now then it will be the end of the city"
(Silph Co Tower.)
"So what is your plan?" ask Silver.
"I'm sure by now you have heard Meloetta's song correct" ask Giovanni.
"Yeah" said Ash
"What if I told you that, that song is not her real song" said Giovanni.
"What do you mean?"
"Meloetta once played a song and danced so lightly, it filled people's hearts with joy. However, when sorrow darkened the world, Meloetta lost the melody. At the same time, its red shoes were lost somewhere."
"I've seen meloetta fly around in joy, but I never seen her dance before"
"What does this have to do with your plan" said Silver.
"I believe is time for me to come clean, you see I was aware of the upcoming battle, between Magma, and Aqua so to prepare myself I set out to find a pokemon that I can use to stop those creatures from destroying the city, in my search I came upon the legend of meloetta, I knew I need to capture it what I wasn't expecting was you" said Giovanni to Ash.
"So YOU KNEW ABOUT ALL THIS! ARE YOU NOT SEEING WHAT THOSE MONSTERS ARE DOING!" yelled Silver. "Why didn't you say anything?"
"I told you to listen to your pokemon didn't I? And yet you focused more on your training then actually learning anything! Ignoring others around you has always been a bad trait of yours, a trait that I hope you can overcome son"
"SON!?" said Ash. "So that's why you wanted to come"
"Stay out of it" said Silver.
"Relax I get it, you want to be your own person, not having to live under the shadow of someone else" said Ash.
"You are smart mister… what's your name again?" said Giovanni.
"Ash… Ash Ketchum"
"Ketchum… from pallet town"
"How did you"
"I should have guessed you look just like her and him, but never mind (Elevator opens) This way" Giovanni lead the two trainers to his office after opening the door there was a small box atop of the desk. Giovanni opened the door reviling a pair of red shoes.
"Those are the red shoes from the story"
"Yes with this she'll be able to learn perish song a move that will stop this war" said Giovanni, Ash reached for the box before he could touch the box Giovanni closed it.
"What the!?"
"I'm not going to hand you this box just like that, first you must hear my demands"
"I knew you were up to something" said Silver reaching for a pokeball.
"Silver wait" said Ash. "Let's hear him out"
"Good you see after you use perish song and safe the day all the credit for saving the city will go to me"
"What!?" said Silver. "SO this is what you wanted to rule what would be left of the city"
"Yes with me as the hero no one will stand in my way when I run for mayor not even Drayden"
"What you do to him"
"I took what was rightfully mine" said Giovannie. "Those are my terms evil as they may seem you have no other choice but to agree"
"No we can fight" said Silver.
"No his right He planned it all out, if we try to fight he could destroy those shoes" said Ash.
"So then we fight those monsters outside"
"For what! So more people can get hurt, no this way no one else will get hurt, as much as it sucks we have to accept this" said Ash looking at Giovannni as he took the shoes, "But that doesn't mean I won't keep an eye on you" said Ash pulling out his pokeball, "Meloetta come on out"
The small pokemon came out flying next to Ash waiting for direction. Ash grabbed her and placed her on the ground, Ash got on one knee to look at her face to face. "Meloetta I have a gift for you" said Ash Meloetta looked confuse, but remain quiet. "Here you go" said Ash pulled out the pair of red shoes. Upon looking at the shoes Meloetta face light up with joy. Her long lost shoes have finally been return to her. Meloetta took the shoes and looked at Ash with a big smile.
"My Shoe" said Meloetta.
"What the!?" said Silver.
"Meloetta I heard your voice" said Ash.
"Indeed you sync with Meloetta" said Giovanni.
"he what" said Silver.
"Relax maybe one day you'll understand the secret of bonding with a pokemon" said Giovanni.
"Let's just get this over with"
"Very well with those shoes Meloetta can now use her ultimate attack, Relic Song, tell her to use it" said Giovanni.
"Meloetta use Relic Song" said Ash.
"That song I remember it… thank you Ash you've help me remember my old song I am forever in you debt" said Melotta before flying toward the harbor.
(Harbor)
Groundon and Kyoger were fighting N, and Hilbert. While May, and Ruby made their way to Maxie. Maxie whole body was now covered in marking coming from the orb. "All this power why do they still try to stop me" question Maxie.
"It's over" said Ruby getting off Wailord.
"You still want to battle me very well Mightyena, Camerupt Go!" said Maxie.
"I got it" said May.
"No let me finish this, (Smile) Remember when I taught you how to show off your pokemon when I was young that was my dream I even had a special entrance for my pokemon, here is my favorite (Pulling out a pokeball) "Having released its body with its heart, it shines with overwhelming beauty. Possessing the Marvel Scale, this is the Pokémon Milotic—Feefee!" said Ruby. Milotic appeared looking at Maxie ready to battle.
"Use bite" said Maxie. Mightyane jump toward milotic.
"Protect" said Ruby.
"Camoppute use earthquake"
"Use water pulse" said Ruby as he easily took down Maxie.
"But how!" said Maxie. "I'm better then you I was born in fire, and you are no different than me"
"That's where you're wrong Maxie that fire took the life of my friend but I wasn't reborn from it, I just became blinded by revenge I let my pokemon become ugly thanks to my need for revenge, but now I know that I can move on, this isn't about revenge anymore Maxie. I just want to stop you" said Ruby.
"You can't stop me I still have Groundon" said Maxie. Just as he was about to order Groundon attack a strange light came from the city toward the monsters stopping in the middle of the battle the light was reveal to be Meloetta. Soon the pokemon started to sing.
A beautiful harmony filled the sky. All over the city battles ended and pokemon gathered to listen to the performance of Meloetta. A relaxing wave spread across the city all the anger escape the world and for a few moments the city became peaceful.
(New World Tower)
Lucas got up from the rubble thanks to battle with Ash hearing the music cause the boy to loosen up, but he still didn't forget what happen to him. "ARGG Ash I'm going to get you" said Lucas just then the three pokemon of Emotion, Knowledge, and Willpower appeared in front of him. "Get away!"
"Such a shame a trainer with such potential and he became a victim to the lust of another person" said Mesprit.
"I have an Idea" said Uxie looking at the boy. Uxie opened its eyes, anybody that looks into Uxies eyes lose all their memories. "Let's go back home"
Lucas stood there in the darkness as a girl approach him. "Hello…?" said the girl.
"hi…"
"What's your name?"
"I don't know, what's your name?"
"You should know you gave it to me"
"I did?"
"Yeah I'm Marley"
"Oh what a pretty name"
"Thank you"
"Who are you"
"We're family remember, I'm you friend"
"Friend… family? Really?"
"Yeah all of us are waiting for you come on" said Marley helping him up.
"What's my name?"
"From now on your name is Diamond" said Marley.
"Thank you, hey Marley?"
"Yeah"
"I'm hungry" said Diamond.
"(Smile) Let's go get something to eat"
(Radio Tower)
Riley was in the button floor with Elesa and the rest of the people. "Riley are you okay?" ask Elesa.
"Yeah I can feel all the evil aura drifting away" said Riley.
"Good what do you think will happen to Archie"
"I don't know"
On the top floor Archie was gasping for air as he felt life slowly leave him.
"Here" said a voice throwing items to him.
"What's this"
"Your key to immortality" said the voice.
"An armor and sword?"
"Yes put them on and come with me"
(School)
Garry was finally well enough to get up again, Green helped him get on his feet.
"That sound" said Green.
"Yeah"
"You think they did it"
"I think so"
Suddenly Burgundy came bursting in. "Come with me (tears) they did it"
(Harbor)
The two pokemon stopped battling and looked at each other.
"Hey what are you doing attack" said Maxie.
"You don't get it do you Maxie it's over"
"No! How!"
"Because they're hearts have finally calm down" said Ruby. "No orb can control them now"
Maxie was so mad that he threw the orb to the ground, upon impact the orb broke. "What? NO!"
"The orb, with their heart back to normal there is no need for them to exist" said Ruby.
"We won" said May.
The pokemon started to walk toward the ocean disappearing into the vast water.
"There they go" said Ruby.
"Look" said May. Maxie started to run away. "Let's go!"
Ruby took May's hand. "Wait it doesn't matter he's not worth it"
Suddenly N, and Hilbert landed infront of them. "They are finally at peace" said N.
"Yeah we did it" said Hilbert. Then the two looked at Ruby, and May. "Thank you"
"What?" said May.
"You two did more than us, you two are the real heroes" said N.
"No the real hero is Ash, where is he" said May.
"They should all be on their way here" said Hilbert.
"Let's wait then" said Ruby.
"Ruby" said May.
"Yeah?"
"You can let go of my"
"Oh! Sor… sorry" said Ruby blushing.
"It's okay (Kiss on cheek)"
"Aww right"
(Half an hour later)
The group gather to look at the sky opening up reviling the sun.
Ash was with Anabel and Barry talking. "So we did it"
"I knew we could do it we're heroes" said Barry.
"Yeah it was so nice to see the city again" said Anabel.
"Well why don't you stay" said Ash.
"No I couldn't I have no where to"
"We have room in the tower" said Ash.
"Well I… I guess I could, but first I need to go get my stuff" said Anabel running. Before she got far she heard someone yell at her.
"HOLD IT" said Silver.
"Excuse me?"
"You know how to link with your pokemon"
"Yeah?"
"Teach me" said Silver.
Bianca Cheren Hilbert Hilda and N were also happy. "A new world" said N.
"What was that" said Hilda.
"Nothing" said N smiling at her.
"You are still pretty weird" said Hilda.
Suddenly a loud scream was heard. As everybody turn to see where it was coming from they were relive to see that is was just the girls.
"WE DID IT" yelled May.
"YEAH" said green.
"Calm down" said Ursula.
"Why we're all safe, we're all here"
"Except Dawn…"
"What happen to her" said May worried.
Suddenly three figures pop out of nowhere.
"Awww" scream May falling back.
"Who are they?" said Ursula.
"Shadow Triad" said Hilbert. "What's going on?"
"You" said one of them pointing at Ash. "Come with us"
"Why" said Barry.
"Dawn…"
"Let's go" said Ash as the rest of the group followed.
(City)
Tears were coming down Iris's face as she looked at the sky, with Emerald, and Lyra. It was over. Suddenly the triad appeared.
"Guys?" said Dawn.
"He's here"
"What"
"dawn" said Ash.
"Ash?" said Dawn.
"Brother!" yelled Lyra running toward him.
Ash embrace her confuse as to what was going on. "Lyra are you okay what happen?"
"I'm okay you're here… I knew you would come back" said Lyra chocking on her tears.
The rest of the group arrive looking at what was going on. "Emerald" yelled Crystal.
"Crystal" said Emerald running toward her.
"Tobias!" yelled Green. "What happen?"
Ash looked at Tobias a guy he never met, but seeing Lyra's and Dawn's face told him that he meant a lot to them. Ash walked toward him, "Hello"
"Are you Ash Ketchum" said Tobias.
"Yes I am" said Ash.
"Funny you are everything I thought you might be, I just hoped that could have battle, so I could have a real chance to get to know you" said Tobias.
"Thank you Tobias"
"No thank you, Darkrai is happy and that was my life goal all along" said Tobias. "Good bye" said Tobias with his last breath. The group stood there in silence in the middle of the destroyed City. Each of their faces had tears running down their faces at the lost of their friend.
With a new day in front of them the next question is What's Next?
