Hello everyone, welcome to the final chapter of this story, I'd never thought I would be saying that at all, but here we are. Smithy's defeated, Team RWBY is back in Remnant, and now it is time to bring this tale to its end.
*BGM - Ultra Necrozma Defeated (Pokémon Ultra Sun and Moon)*
After the climactic battle with Smithy finally ended, Mewtwo shrunk back to normal size before collapsing forward, as the dark aura slowly faded away.
Meanwhile, in the other Kingdoms, while the darkness in the sky faded away, the corruption on the other Legendary Pokémon wore off as well, while the remnants of Smithy's army faded away from both Remnant and Mario's World. "Finally, it is over..." The Mushroom Kingdom Chancellor sighed out of relief.
Back on the roof of Beacon Academy, all ten heroes sighed, as they stood with their Pokémon. "We did it... We finally won." Mario breathed out.
"Thank the Star Spirits..." Toadstool sighed, as she and Blissey went over to Mewtwo to heal it up.
After a brief moment, Mewtwo woke up as Deoxys communicated to it. "Be at peace, brother. You are free at last."
Mewtwo nodded, as it flew up to take its leave. "Thank you." It spoke before vanishing, as did Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres.
Deoxys faced the heroes, before nodding. "You ten have my gratitude as well. Thank you for everything."
"We should be thanking you, Deoxys." Ruby smiled. "If it wasn't for you, we never would have won."
"Think nothing of it." Deoxys spoke up, as it teleported everyone back to the campus grounds, where everybody was waiting for them.
*BGM Ends*
"Holy crap, that was awesome!" Nora whooped.
"Indeed. You ten certainly proved to be excellent Pokémon trainers." Colress nodded.
"And allow me to say on behalf of everyone here that we are glad you are back here, safe and sound." Ozpin addressed Team RWBY.
"Thanks, Ozpin." Weiss bowed. "Although, I just had a thought..."
"What would that be, Weiss?" Luigi asked.
"When I heard Deoxys' voice the first time, it reminded me of the same voice we heard when we were first dragged to your world." The heiress explained.
Everyone's eyes widened. "Wait, so you mean that it was Deoxys who requested our help all along?!" Yang exclaimed.
"Huh, that is definitely a surprise." Gladion pondered.
As everyone continued to converse, the seven Star Pieces made their way to the group. "Well, Geno. It wasn't an easy task, but we've recovered the Star Pieces." Mario spoke.
Geno nodded, as he smiled quite the wholesome smile. "Yes, thank you, Mario. And thank you all for everything... Thanks to all your hard work, the Star Road is finally repaired. I am truly grateful for all of it."
"Aw, shucks..." Ruby mumbled while softly kicking the ground.
Geno took a deep breath, as he struggled to speak. "And now that my task is complete, it is time... time for me to... to..."
"Time to return to the stars?" Blake interpreted.
"Wait, what?!" Everyone else shouted.
*BGM - Storybook (Super Mario Galaxy)*
"That is correct." Geno sadly nodded. "As I've said before, my task was to repair the Star Road, and now that it is done, I must return to the starry sky once more."
"W-wait... you mean, we'll never see you again?!" Ruby shouted, as she started to tear up.
"Of course not, Ruby. I'll always be in the sky watching over you all." Metagross and Gallade both started getting sad, before Geno comforted them. "My pals, thank you for your help. But I can no longer stay here I'm afraid. But even so, I do not wish for you to be without a trainer." He walked towards Jaune, while holding out his two Pokéballs. "Jaune, is it? You wished to have a Pokémon, right?"
"Y-Yeah..." He stammered.
"Well, I believe it's fair if you assume ownership of my partners." The doll smiled.
The knight was shocked by that. "Whoa, seriously?!"
"Of course. Consider it the first wish granted under the newly fixed Star Road." Geno nodded. "Metagross, Gallade, I trust you'll be great pals for Jaune."
The two of them nodded, as they walked towards him and pledged their loyalty. "Wow... thank you, Geno!" He hugged him tightly.
*BGM - Goodbye Geno (SMRPG)*
"Of course." Geno smiled back, before he let go. "And now my friends... it is time for me to go." He solemnly smiled. "I want you all to know that this journey has been an incredible one, and I feel truly blessed to have met and befriended all of you."
Ruby sniffled, as did Weiss, Blake, Yang, Mallow, Toadstool, Luigi, and even Mario. "Thank you... Geno." She cried, as they all hugged him, even Bowser joined in on the group hug.
Geno hugged back too, before the Star Pieces started surrounding him and glowed. "Oh, great and powerful Star Road, heed my wish. I wish for a portal to transport Mario and his friends back to their own world now!"
As Geno started glowing, the star pieces ascended high up, as Geno was back to being a normal, non-living doll. "Geno..." Mario muttered sadly, as everyone looked down sadly at the doll.
However, a star flew out from the puppet, as they all knew that Geno was still here, and he would never be gone.
As the star flew up, a light portal opened up behind everyone. "That portal... that must be the way back to their world." Ren figured.
"Then that means... this is goodbye." Bowser shrugged. "Well good! It's about time! I was getting real sick of this goody-goody hero mush!" He boldly declared. "As soon as my castle is fixed, I'm coming for you, Princess!" He pointed, trying to stay strong.
"Sure, Bowser. Whatever you say..." Toadstool rolled her eyes.
"And I guess it's time for me to assume my position as Prince of Nimbus Land." Mallow nervously spoke.
"Hey, I know you'll be a great prince, Mallow." Yang assured him.
"Aww, thanks..." The puffball laughed, as they hugged.
As Weiss and Toadstool hugged, as did Blake and Luigi, Mario picked up the Geno doll and presented it to Ruby. "Here, I think you should hold onto him. Think of it as something to remember us by..."
Ruby gasped, before she smiled widely. "Thank you..." She couldn't stop the tears from falling down her face, before tearfully hugging Mario once again. "Thank you for everything... Mario... Thank you." She sobbed, as Mario hugged back.
"Thank you, Ruby." Mario smiled back.
After all ten heroes shared their hug rounds, Bowser, Mallow, Toadstool, Luigi, and finally Mario, all entered the portal as they waved goodbye to Team RWBY and Remnant.
Everybody waved goodbye once more, as Ruby could not stop crying. Yang gently hugged her, as she also shed tears.
After the five returned to their world, both worlds watched as both Exors faded away to dust, from Beacon Tower to Bowser's Keep, as the sky shined brightly.
*Cutscene, the Seven Stars show how everyone is doing*
*Blue Star Piece Vision*
At Nimbus Land, the newly-crowned Prince Mallow stood in front of the palace gates with King and Queen Nimbus, as well as Greninja and Altaria, beside him, as he smiled and waved to the Nimbus Land crowd. In the back of the crowd, Garro smiled and nodded, as he took his leave.
*Green Star Piece Vision*
Gladion mingled with the Beacon Academy students until he saw another bright light shine in front of him. To his shock, he saw a blonde girl in a fancy hat, and a white dress. "Lillie?!" He stammered, as the girl squealed out of joy and hugged him. Gladion was surprised, but he happily returned the hug, while Colress smiled from a corner.
*Orange Star Piece Vision*
At Patch, after Taiyang tightly hugged Qrow upon his return, the latter returned the hug as the former took his leave. After sighing and looking outside, he saw Honchkrow and Salamence flying in front of him. He smirked as he shifted into a crow, and took flight with them.
*Violet Star Piece Vision*
At Bowser's Keep, Bowser, his Koopa army, as well as Golem, helped with the rebuilding of his castle. That was until Houndoom barked out loud to gather everyone's attention, to a Shy Guy joyriding in Bowser's Clown Copter.
*Indigo Star Piece Vision*
At both Atlas and Mistral, Kali and Ghira both cheered out of sheer joy via video chat that their daughter was back safe and sound, as did Incineroar and Delcatty. Even Winter had trouble keeping her composure as she was thrilled to see her sister back, while Froslass comforted the older Schnee sister.
*Red Star Piece Vision*
As Jaune was about to walk back inside Beacon, Cardin blocked his way along with a Rhydon, issuing a challenge. However, Metagross and Gallade both leapt out of their Pokéballs, standing by their new trainer for battle as Jaune smirked, while Cardin paled up.
*Yellow Star Piece Vision*
At both the Mushroom Kingdom and at Team RWBY's balcony, Mario, Luigi, and Toadstool looked up at the sky, as did Ruby and Yang. However, Mario and Ruby both could have sworn they saw a star shining brightly in the sky. As they looked, a smile crept on their faces as they both recalled the memories, before they headed back inside.
*EPILOGUE*
*BGM - Rosalina's Storybook*
In the starry sky, Geno approached a tall figure in the shadows, as he greeted them. "I apologize for worrying you, my master."
"Ah, welcome back." A woman's voice warmly responded. "Were you able to complete your mission?"
"Correct, master Rosalina... The Star Road is finally fixed. And as such, everyone's wishes are flowing through once more." He bowed.
Rosalina smiled, as she approached him. "Well done, my young star warrior. I imagine it was not an easy task."
Geno nodded. "Indeed, it wasn't... Thankfully, I had the help of some powerful fighters on my side." He smiled as he reminisced of them.
"Hmm? It sounds like you enjoyed their company very much." She noticed, as a small giggle emitted from her. "In any case, we have a new mission for you..."
"Understood... I live to serve the stars." Geno addressed her.
*Remnant, Team RWBY'S Dorm*
Back in Team RWBY's room, Ruby sighed as she looked at the Geno doll on the shelf. It was over a week since the whole experience with Mario and friends had concluded. She looked at the two Pokéballs on her as a small smile formed on her face. However, her thoughts were interrupted when her teammates burst through the door. "RUBY!" Yang shouted excitedly. "You have got to come with us. Colress has a surprise for us!"
Ruby narrowed an eyebrow, before she traveled with them to a new room. Colress, Gladion, as well as Lillie, all greeted them as they saw a portal gate generator beside them. "Ah, Miss Rose, glad you're here. Are you ready?"
"Ready for what?" Ruby asked.
"To see Mario, of course!" Yang explained giddily.
Ruby's eyes bulged out for a spill second. "Say whaaaaaaaaaaat?!"
"Yeah, Doctor Colress learned about our adventures in the other world, so he worked tirelessly on this gate to help us come and go whenever we feel like." Weiss explained. "Isnt that great?"
*BGM - Rainbow Road Medley (Super Smash Bros Wii U/3DS)*
Ruby was at a loss for words, as her joy grew tremendously. "Heck yeah!"
Gladion smirked. "Just as well. Lillie really wanted to see the other world too."
"Ooh, would it be a good idea to bring Team JNPR along for the ride?" Ruby wondered.
"Of course." Colress nodded, as Team RWBY dashed back to their room, as they quickly informed their friends next door.
"Wow, really?! That sounds awesome!" Nora cheered.
As the eight teens cheered, a bright flash came from RWBY'S room. Much to everyone's shock, Geno was alive once more, as he walked out and greeted them. "Any chance there's room for one more?"
The four girls squealed as they surrounded him. "GENO!" They hugged him tightly.
"Oof, it's good to see you too, girls." Geno smiled.
"Wow, hey Geno!" Pyrrha spoke up. "What are you doing back here?"
"I'll explain on the way over. Right now, we have old friends to visit." He pointed out, as they all dashed to the portal gate.
Geno explained that his next mission assigned by Rosalina was to inspect the worlds to see how they were doing, but in actuality, she assigned this mission to Geno as a means to see his old friends again.
Team RWBY, JNPR, Gladion, Lillie, and Geno all entered the portal, as they were transported to the Mushroom Kingdom.
When they arrived at the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario, Luigi, Toadstool, Mallow, and even Bowser were shocked to see them once more.
"Mario!" Ruby waved and hugged Mario.
"Ruby?!" Mario was surprised to see her again, but he didn't object at all before returning it once more. "Whoa, I can't believe it!"
"Well, isn't this something." Bowser smirked. "So, brought along your friends, did you?"
"Oh boy, it's so glad to see you!" Mallow cheered.
"I'll say." Geno waved from behind.
The five of them gasped at who else was here. "Geno?!" Toadstool gasped. "Oh my goodness, I can't believe you're here too!"
"Wow, this is definitely a surprise." Luigi commented.
As everyone conversed with each other, the ten of them decided to give a tour of their world to the newcomers, showing off all the Pokémon that frolicked in their homes.
As the journey to save everyone's wishes and Pokémon had ended, one thing that would never stop was the friendship between different friends from different worlds.
*THE END*
It's over, it's finally done! My first, and probably only story, ever to be completed on here! Holy smokes, I didn't think I'd ever be able to do it. Honestly, having finished this story feels super fantastic right now, and the fact I was able to reach completion was because not only was I motivated with the attention and reviews I got for each chapter, but it's also because RWBY, Super Mario, and Pokémon all mean a lot to me, and by combining all that I love together, I was able to make something that I hoped everybody enjoyed. Now, just for old times sake, let's have one final Pokémon standings update.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm taking a super long break from story writing! I may also post this story onto Deviantart just for the heck of it. PEACE. OUT.
