The young girl looked up in horror as Buzzwole stepped over her, flexing its muscles before charging up a Dynamic Punch. Just as its fist was about to strike the girl, Buzzwole ended up taking a Water Shuriken, Thunderbolt, and a Dark Pulse, stumbling it. The beast turned to see Ash, his Pokémon, and Xurkitree. The Bug and Fighting Type flexed its muscles angrily as the two Pheramosa took places beside it.
"That... Was probably a bad idea..." Ash said the Ultra Beasts inched closer, only for one Pheramosa to be slammed into by a flaming figure while the other one was struck by a a Flash Cannon and Ice Shard. Gladion ran in on one side of the clearing as the fire dissipated to reveal Silvally, while Ruby walked in on the other side with Mawile and Froslass. "Where did you two come from!?"
"Silvally sensed the Ultra Energy and led me here."
"I just followed Gladion." Ruby said, causing the blonde to facepalm. The blonde sighed.
"Leave this one to me." Gladion said as he stared down a Pheromosa. "After all, what's the point of being a Beast Killer if you're not fighting beasts."
"Might as well fight." Ruby yawned, something that the other Pheromosa looked to be offended by. Ash nodded, before turning to the Ultra Beast beside him.
"Xurkitree, will you help me?" The beast nodded, plunging his hands into the ground, where the clearing around them began sparking and took on a yellow atmosphere. "Electric Terrain... Alright, both of you, use Thunderbolt, Greninja, Water Shuriken!" The three Pokémon launched their respective attacks, while Xurkitree fired an Energy Ball. Buzzwole flexed its muscles, before striking the attacks with Hammer Arm. It then slammed its fists into the ground, sending a Stone Edge at the group. "Dark Pulse!" Rotom fired a beam of dark energy at the attack, destroying the stone spikes. "Greninja, Aerial Ace!" Greninja rushed at the beast, his arm glowing blue. Buzzwole flexed its muscles and slammed a Hammer Arm into Greninja, sending the Ninja Pokémon flying into a nearby tree. The Water and Dark Type shakily pushed himself up, stumbling to his feet and wincing in pain. "Greninja, are you okay?" The Water and Dark starter gave a shaky nod. Ash closed his eyes, concentrating, and a veil of water erupted around Greninja as he began to tranform, Ash realizing that this fight wasn't going to be as easy as any of the other fights he'd had during the tournament...
"Flame Charge!" Gladion hissed. Silvally responded in kind, coating himself in flames and charging at the Pheromosa, who raised her arms to block, wincing at the searing heat. She pushed Silvally back, swiping her hand to send a Silver Wind at the Beast Killer, pushing it back further. Gladion gave a small smirk.
"There aren't many opponents worthy of battling you Silvally, and an Ultra Beast like this is one of those few worthy opponents. He pulled out a sky blue disc. "Now let's show this beast your full power!" He tossed the disc at Silvally. A port on the side of Silvally's head opened, allowing the Flying Memory to enter before it closed. Silvally's head crest, eyes, and tail turned sky blue. "Multi Attack!" Silvally's front claws became enveloped in flying energy as it lunged at the Pheromosa, slashing it and dealing massive damage. The Pheromosa collapsed to her knees, flickering before vanishing completely. Gladion huffed. "That's how it's done bitch."
The other Pheromosa was slammed into a nearby tree by four consecutive blasts, Ruby having called out Rocky and Pippi by this time. The angered beast responded with an Ice Beam, which Mawile countered with a Fire Blast, negating the Ice Type attack. Pheromosa leapt into the air, charging a High Jump Kick aimed at Rocky, who used Accelerock to dodge, causing Pheromosa to take damage instead. The Ultra Beast stood up, hissing angrily.
"Alright... At this point I'm just going off what Acerola told me." Her Z-Ring began to glow as she and Froslass began doing the moves (Which she had point blank told Acerola looked ridiculous) and began building up energy. Dozens of shadowy claws erupted from the ground, enveloping the startled Ultra Beast, before a shadowy explosion erputed. When the explosion cleared, the Pheromosa was flickering, before finally vanishing. Ruby gave a cocky smile before a noise caught her attention. She turned to see the young girl and her Poipole cowering behind a rock. When the girl noticed Ruby staring at her, she grabbed her Poipole and ran into the trees. Ruby rolled her eyes and walked after the girl with her Pokémon in tow.
Gladion had joined Ash in fighting Buzzwole, who was putting up a massive fight compared to the Pheromosa. Pikachu struck the beast in the back of the head with Iron Tail, only to be grabbed and flung around like a ragdoll. Xurkitree moved in and blasted the beast with a Dazzling Gleam, while Silvally charged in with Iron Head, only to be back handed. Greninja leapt in and kicked the beast in the face with Aerial Ace, forcing it to let go of Pikachu.
"Greninja, Cut!" The Water Type ninja leapt above the beast, summoning a blade and slicing it down the center. Buzzwole froze, flickering before finally vanishing. The group of humans and Pokémon panted, exhausted.
"Man, those things are something else." Ash panted.
"Yeah, definitely not something to screw around with." Gladion responded. Xurkitree abruptly tossed something towards Ash, who caught it, realizing it was a Beast Ball.
"Uhhh..." The Ultra Beast suddenly tapped the center of the ball, being sucked in as it dinged immediately.
"...What?" Gladion said after an awkward silence. There was the sound of snow crunching as Ruby walking up, holding the struggling blue skinned girl over her shoulder and the girl's unconcious Poipole at her side.
"...Stuff happened." The albino said.
