Pokemon: Return of a Hero

It's the fifty first chapter of Pokemon: Return of a Hero. I'll start off with shout outs: ultimateCCC: A for effort but no luck buddy, though I like what you called Rainbow Rocket, it was rude and offensive but it was still pretty darn funny, and Mega Espeon: Nice try but no, it's not that. Moving on I will hopefully be able to show off both Rainbow Rocket's trump card(s?) and the unexpected source that Ash will have to go to for help. Any ways This upcoming fight that Ash will have to take part in will be the cause of Ash unlocking a new power, one that no one would have expected to happen. Also, there is still one part of the tournament that Ash has yet to complete. What does a person that wins a pokemon league tournament have to do after winning? I'll leave that for you to guess. That's enough for now so let's get on with the fic…

Chapter XXXXXI

The alarms were blaring loudly. Rainbow Rocket grunts were rushing towards the entrance. Apparently, there were intruders in the complex. The Rainbow Rocket were searching the complex up and down, trying to find the location of the intruders. Each of them had already sent out one pokemon that was ready to fight and they each had at least one other pokemon with them ready to be sent out in the case that their first pokemon was defeated. The Rainbow Rocket grunts had split into groups of five trainers.

This group that we are currently had a Mightyena, Ryhorn, Houndoom, Medicham, and Electibuzz out and running alongside them. Suddenly they heard a voice shout out. "Leaf blade!" Shouted Ash. His Sceptile appeared out of nowhere and slashed the Electibuzz and Medicham across their chests, knocking them backwards. "Focus blast!" Instructed Ash. Sceptile created a glowing blue ball of energy in his hands. Sceptile blasted the other three pokemon with the attack knocking them backwards. "Let's keep moving." Ash said to the others.

They nodded and then they continued running. As they moved they encountered more and more groups of Rainbow Rocket grunts but they just plowed straight through them. But there was still one thing that was bothering Ash. Just where had that voice come from? "Ash." There it was again. Ash stopped. His head whipped around as he searched for the source of that voice. "Who. Is. There?" Said Ash through gritted teeth. Ash's friends looked at him with concern. "Are you sure you're alright?" Asked Clemont.

"If I could figure out where that voice was coming from, I'd be fine." Said Ash as he continued to look around for the source of the voice. "What does the voice sound like? Is it someone you know?" Asked Iris tilting her head in confusion. "It feels familiar, but I can't seem to place where I've heard it before." Responded Ash. With that they continue walking. While they walk the alarm continues to blare loudly but the voice is still able to continuously pester Ash throughout the duration of their travelling.

The voice becomes increasingly louder and the voice repeats itself more and more often until the only thing Ash can hear is his name being said repeat. Ash stops and puts his hands to his head. Ash's friends walk up to him to see if he is ok. "Ash…" Says Misty, concern evident in her voice. "Make it stoooop." Groaned Ash as he continued to clutch his head. His friends can only stare at their friend in pity as he suffers. Suddenly Ash's eyes widened as everything in front of him disappeared into black.

(Inside Ash's mind)

"Where… am I?" Asked Ash as he looked around. "Come on, you should be able to tell when you're inside your own mind." Said a voice behind Ash. Ash's head whipped around to see who was speaking to him. When Ash saw the source of the voice, his eyes narrowed. "You." Said Ash. Dark Ash smirked evilly. "Me." Said the evil clone. "What do you want?" Snapped Ash. The last thing he wanted to do was speak to this nutcase. "I want my body back." Said Dark Ash.

"That's tough. We fought, I won, you pulled a cheap trick, I turned it against you. Get over it, this is my body now." Said Ash. "The only reason you're still around is because I wasn't able to destroy you completely." Dark Ash glowered at the person he was cloned from. "Hmph." Was all Dark Ash said before disappearing. Once he was gone Ash knew that it was time to return to his friends. He turned his head to find and exit, and once he saw it he proceeded to exit the confines of his own mind.

(Back to the real world.)

Ash groaned as he sat up, he must have fallen to the ground when Dark Ash had pulled him into his mind. Ash looked at his friends who were all staring at him with concerned expressions. "…Ash?" Asked Angie uncertainly. Ash waved his hand at them. "I'm fine, I'm fine." Said Ash with a tired voice. "What happened?" Asked Miette. "Dark Ash… he was the voice who was speaking to me. Looks like the lunatic just wanted his body back. I told him to scram." Explained Ash.

His friends nodded their heads in understanding. Ash got to his feet. Together they continued onwards to where the leaders of Rainbow Rocket would be located. Soon they entered a large room, and by large room I mean very large, like size of an entire museum large. Ash and his friends looked around. "What do you think this room is for?" Wondered Bonnie aloud. "If you're so curious, we'll gladly explain it to you." Said Giovanni. Ash and his friends all snapped their attention to the far side of the room.

There stood the evil leaders of Team Rainbow Rocket. Giovanni, Archie, Maxie, Syrus, Ghestis, and Lysandere. Ash and his friends all glared at the evil leaders. "So glad you could make it Ash." Said Lysandere with an evil grin on his face. "Now we can finally show you, just how we plan on destroying you." Said Ghestis. Then the six of them all unclipped two or three pokeballs on their waists and threw them onto the large open space. When they opened revealing the pokemon inside Ash's stomach dropped.

Ash and his friends stared at the sight in front of them. "No…" Said Serena. "It… can't be." Whispered Bonnie. The rest of them all just stared. In front of them stood an entire army of legendary pokemon. "Articuno." Said Misty. "Zapdos." Said Brock. "Moltres." Whispered Gary. "Ho-oh." Said May. "Lugia." Said Max. "Groudon." Whispered Anabel. "Kyogre." Said Dawn. "Dialga." Said Angie. "Palkia." Whispered Iris. "Zekrom." Said Cilan. "Reshiram." Said Clemont. "Kyurem." Whispered Bonnie. "Xerneas." Said Serena. "Yveltal." Said Miette.

Ash clenched his fists. "What have you done to them?" Demanded the boy. Each legendary pokemon had a mind control device attached to their heads, which were controlling them like puppets. "Destroy them!" Commanded Giovanni. The legendary pokemon all charged up and fired their attacks and then fired them at Ash and his friends. "Move!" Ordered Ash. Ash's human allies all took cover out of the way while Ash and his pokemon all dashed forward. Once the legendary pokemon all fired their attacks, it was time for Ash's team to retaliate.

Ash, Greninja, and Charizard all stood in front of the group while the rest of his pokemon all stood directly behind them. "Charizard, Greninja. We can't hold anything back understood?" Asked Ash. Charizard and Greninja each held up a clenched fist and nodded their heads. "Then let's power up!" Shouted Ash as he activated his aura. Greninja and Charizard were both enveloped in vortexes of their respective elements. While they transformed into their Synchro forms the flame wings sprouted from Ash's back and the water scarf appeared around Ash's neck.

The fire and water dispersed and Greninja and Charizard stood in their Synchro forms. Then the other pokemon took a step back knowing what was going to happen next. The three of them were enveloped in a golden pillar of energy. Throughout the duration of this the evil leaders just stood there and watched what was happening. Ash, Charizard, and Greninja all crossed their arms over their chest. Then in perfect synchronization they shouted out. "Let's go, Fusion evolution!" As they finished shouting they all pumped their right fists into the air.

Then the light began to grow much brighter, so bright that the only thing anyone else could see of the three was their silhouettes. The silhouettes of Greninja and Charizard began to move closer to the silhouette Ash until the three overlapped. Then the pillar glowed even brighter causing the new silhouette to disappear. Then the glowing pillar abruptly vanished. There stood Charninja, he was ready to fight with everything he has. With that Charninja, Heracross, Sceptile, Infernape, and Krookodile all got into fighting stances.

"Attack!" Shouted Charninja. Then the five pokemon attacked. "Aerial Fire Ace!" Shouted Charizard. "Megahorn!" Buzzed Heracross. "Frenzy plant!" Yelled Sceptile. "Flare blitz!" Screeched Infernape. "Stone edge!" Growled Krookodile. Charninja's hands were engulfed in white flames as he flew towards the mind controlled legendary pokemon. Heracross's horn began to glow as he flew towards the mind controlled legendary pokemon. Sceptile punched the ground sending a swarm of vines towards the mind controlled legendary pokemon.

Infernape surrounded himself in blue flames as he charged towards the mind controlled legendary pokemon. Krookodile stomped the ground sending sharp rocks jutting out of the ground towards the mind controlled legendary pokemon. "Counter their attacks!" Ordered Giovanni. All three legendary birds fired their attacks at the four non-fusion pokemon knocking them backwards. Charninja stared at his pokemon with concern. But he didn't have time to check on them now, he had to win.

"Oh Ketchum, that isn't the maximum power of what we've been working on." Said Giovanni. Charninja looked at him in concern. Then the six of them pulled strange devices out of their pockets. "And now thanks to the special devices we have now created, we will have the power to destroy you." Said Ghestis. Ash stared at the strange devices. They were a strange shape, it was a small yellow pyramid on top of an upside down blue and white pyramid. The devices began to spark and flew in between groups of the Legendary pokemon.

The devices sparked and wrapped crackling bands of lightning around the Legendary pokemon, the first one snagging the legendary bird trio, the second grabbing Ho-oh and Lugia, the third wrapping around Groudon and Kyogre, number four ensnared Dialga and Palkia, the fifth taking Kyurem, Zekrom, and Reshiram, and the final one winding their way around Xerneas and Yveltal. "What… are those things?" Asked Charninja in confusion. He had never seen devices like these before. Archie smirked evilly.

"They're DNA splicers." Said Maxie matter of factly. "DNA… splicers?" Thought Charninja in confusion. His eyes widened in realization. "You're… fusing them?" Asked Charninja dumbfounded. The rest of the evil leaders were now widely smirking as well. Charninja looked up watching as the legendary pokemon were all merging with one and another. One by one, the splicers moved to the center of each group and then the legendries all becoming one at where each splicer was located.

Once they fused the merged legendary pokemon all began to glow brightly, everyone had to shield their eyes from the light. When Charninja and his friends looked again they couldn't believe what they were seeing. Where there had once been fourteen legendary pokemon there now only stood (or flew in some cases) six pokemon. "First up: We have Artizaptres." Declared Giovanni as he pointed to the first fusion legendary pokemon. For the fused legendries I'll leave their physical appearances to your imagination

(Now there is a difference between Ash's fusion evolution and what Team Rainbow Rocket did. They key difference being that the attacks of the legendary pokemon didn't fuse with them so each fusion pokemon will just have four regular attacks that one of the pokemon used for the fusion had. Artizaptres is the fusion of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, it is a fire, ice, electric, and flying type pokemon, its base stats are as follow: HP: 108, ATK: 110, DEF: 110, SPA: 138, SPD: 120, SPE: 108.

(Kyoudon is the fusion of Groudon and Kyogre, it is a ground and water type, its base stats are as follow: HP: 120, ATK: 150, DEF: 132, SPA: 150, SPD: 132, SPE: 108.

You'll see what moves it knows pretty soon.) "The fourth fusion pokemon is Dialkia." Said Syrus. (Dialkia is the fusion of Dialga and Palkia, it is a steel, water, and dragon type pokemon, its base stats are as follow: HP: 114, ATK: 144, DEF: 132, SPA: 180, SPD: 132, SPE: 114.

You'll see what moves it knows pretty soon.) "The fifth legendary fusion we wield is: Zekyuram!" Cackled Ghestis. (Zekyuram is the fusion of Zekrom, Reshiram, and Kyurem, it is a dragon, ice, fire, and electric type pokemon, its base stats are as follow: HP: 130, ATK: 160, DEF: 124, SPA: 160, SPD: 124, SPE: 110.

You'll see what moves it knows pretty soon.) "DESTROY HIM!"Shouted the Rainbow Rocket leaders. The six fusion pokemon all charged up their best attacks and prepared to fire. "Hurricane!" Screeched Artizaptres. "Sacred fire!" Cawed Hogia. "Hyper beam!" Yelled Kyoudon. "Roar of time!" Roared Dialkia.

"Blizzard!" Roared Zekyuram. "Oblivion wing!" Shouted Xerneltal. Artizaptres launched a large gust of wind. Hogia breathed a large burst of blue fire. Kyoudon fired the deadly normal type beam from its mouth. Dialkia fired a draconic version of Hyper beam from its mouth. Zekyuram launched a massive blizzard, and Xerneltal launched the draining, red flying type move at Charninja. Charninja's eyes widened just before being struck by the six attacks. He was hit so hard by the combined force of the attacks that it cancelled out his fusion evolution.

Charizard and Greninja were lying on the ground were already on the ground, but Ash was still in the air. Time seemed to move in slow motion for Ash. Then the world disappeared into black. Ash knew there was only one option left now if he had any hope to defeat Rainbow Rocket. He would have to ask for his help. Ash and Dark Ash stared at each other neither one willing to break the silence. Then Dark Ash finally spoke up. "What do you want Ketchum?" Asked the evil clone. The corners of Ash's mouth twitched upwards oh so slightly. "I'm here to talk." Answered Dark Ash.

And there you go, now you know both who Ash had to go to for help and we now know what the final ace in the hole that Team Rainbow Rocket had. Now the hard part will be convincing Dark Ash to help him. If any of you have suggestions and/or guesses for Ash will do it please post in the reviews and if I decide to use one of your ideas I'll give a shout out to you in the next chapter. Also, just so you know I actually use basic math when calculating the stats of the fusion pokemon, if your curios how I do it this is how: first I find the average of each stat: EX: I find the average of both Ho-oh and Lugia's ATK stat. Then I multiply that average by one point two. Then low and behold that is the base stat of the merged legendary pokemon. That is all I need to talk about so I'm going to go now. So, until next time fic fans. Nemon0416 is outta here!
