Hoenn Part 7
Ash and his Hoenn traveling companions are at the river, then they see a orange hair person rush to them. "Hey, Ash! Reisa!"
Ash sees the person and he says, "No way, Misty? Is that you?"
Then the two of them greet the said girl, Reisa says, "How are you?"
"Well, my gym leader duties are doing well, though I am surprised that you didn't travel with your girlfriend." Misty says.
"Yeah, never mind that." Ash says. "She is busy for the moment."
Then they introduce May and Max, as well as his Absol for her, and then Mark asks, "So what brings you here?"
"I got an invitation to the Mirage Kingdom. The letter says that I should wait here." Misty shows the invitation.
Minami says, "Mirage Kingdom? Isn't that the kingdom where Princess Sara lives?"
"You're right." Ash says. But then, two mysterious people dressed in Togepi patterned clothes approach Misty and promptly carry her into the hotel before closing the doors on the others. It turns out that the hotel is a blimp and then Ash and the group see the familar R on it.
"It's Team Rocket!" Reisa says. "Again..."
"Let's chase them." Ash says as they follow them to the Mirage Kingdom.
Once Misty left the blimp, Ash and the others arrive and Ash says, "Team Rocket, you guys again?"
And the trio find that their disguises are broken, so they show themselves with the motto.
"Those guys are still after your Pokemon?" Misty asks.
"Yeah, they never learn."
Before they battle, they are stop by a colonel named Hanson, he demands Misty's Togepi, but she refuses. Then Hanson send out Shedinja and Ninjask, and Misty is shivering.
"What's wrong with her?" May asks.
"She has a fear of Bug Types, even though that she traveled with our sister, who specializes in Bug Type..." Mark says.
Misty battles his Shedinja with a Corsola, but a Solar Beam causes Togepi to fly off Misty's arms. It is lucky that Togepi lands in a garden fountain, where it soon discovered by Princess Sara as she tends to her roses. As they are taken Togepi to the temple, Ash and the group also arrive.
"Ash, Mark, Minami? What are you doing here?" Sara is shocked at the appearance of them.
"We got involve in Hanson's plans." Ash gives her a brief version of the story.
Max asks, "So you know the princess?"
Minami says, "We were also royalties, so we met once at the ball where all kingdoms of the region is asked to attend."
Outside the temple, the Princess explains that Togepi have been a symbol for Mirage Kingdom for centuries, adding that the Pokemon is needed to determine the next ruler.
"And we think that Colonel Hansen is hoping to take the throne himself, since my quest to find Togepi isn't successful." Sara says sadly.
"Don't worry, we will help you." Mark says as the others nod.
"Thank you, but I don't wish to place you guys in danger." Sara says. But then they notice a reflection of the temple appear in the sky. Togepi seems to be reaching for it and then it begins to float away. Suddenly Hansen's Shedinja appears, though Misty manages to rescue Togepi before the Bug-type launches its Solar Beam. Hansen and Team Rocket appear, demanding Togepi once again. At Misty's refusal, Shedinja charges another Solar Beam at them and Pikachu counters it with his Thunderbolt. Just then, Togepi uses Safeguard to block the attack, and then they are teleported away, much to the Colonel's dismay.
"Where are we?" Max asks as they find themselves in a weird place.
"I think it is the Togepi Paradise." Sara says. She explains that the Mirage Kingdom and Togepi Paradise help to protect each other, but she is sad to say that a lot has changed since the last time she was here.
Misty's Togepi leads everyone to some injured Togepi. "What happened to them?" May asks in shock.
"Togepi has the ability to sense people's hearts, but its power will be weakened if it senses impurity in a Trainer. Hanson must be the cause of it." Ash says with hate.
Hansen and his Pokémon manage to break into the Togepi Paradise, a feat which does not go unnoticed by Ash and the others. Togepi then floats towards Hansen, much to the surprise of everyone. With Togepi in his grasp, Hansen makes his way towards the palace to demand the throne from the King. When the King refuses, Hansen sends the reigning monarchs to the dungeon. Afterward, Hansen visits a priest at a temple. Because of Togepi, the priest finds him eligible to be the kingdom's ruler.
But Ash and the others sends out their Pokemon and fights back Hanson. Ash is amazed that Misty has a Mega Gyarados with a key stone on her hair band. It uses Flamethrower to defeat Shedinja. Togepi also evolves into Togetic and saves them from other Pokemon. Ash's Spheal also evolves into Sealeo when battling.
"Wow, you have a Sealeo!" Misty says with delight.
"Yeah, mine also evolved as well." Reisa says after she sends it out, then she scans the Pokemon.

Mark and the others free the real king and they manage to send Hanson to the dungeon. Togetic informs Misty that it wishes to stay behind in the Paradise and become its protector to prevent people like Hansen from causing harm. Misty and Togetic share one last, tearful moment before bidding each other farewell.
"Misty, are you okay with this?" Ash asks the sad Misty.
"I guess, since Togetic will be happy."
Max asks, "By the way, where is Minami?"
They turn and see her and Princess Sara holding each a Togepi.
"Huh, those two didn't go back?" Reisa asks.
Minami says, "Well, he attracts to me. So I think I should catch him."
The princess is also, of course, happy, because not only does she get a Togepi, but also she is also eligible to become the new ruler.
After saying goodbye to Sara, they go back to the road. May asks, "I never knew that you are Royalties..."
Ash says, "Well, the Ketchum Family are the biggest in the world after all."
After they arrive the road, Misty heads back to Curelean Gym and then they bid farewell.
They get to meet the Winstrate family when they are stuck at the desert. They take them to their house and they all have a battle.
Mark is battling Victor using Makuhita and Zigzagoon. Makuhita wins and evolves into Hariyama in the process. May uses Beautifly to battle Victoria's Roselia. May is first scared since she lost to Drew's, but she doesn't shudder and defeat it. Minami uses Togepi to battle Vivi's Marill, Minami defeats her using Metronome to become Rock Tomb, but she accidently causes Vivi to cry. Max comforts her and tells her not to be sad since it is just a battle.
Before Ash and Vicky can have a battle, Team Rocket appears and tries to steal the Pokemon. Vicky uses Camerupt's Earthquake and Lava Plume to send them flying. Then they bid farewell as they continue their journey.
They then arrive at the Dessert Ruins, they have a hard time seeing through the sand storm. And then Pikachu, Sylveon and Absol are separated from the group, much to Ash's worry.
Pikachu, Sylveon and Absol are found by a Cacturne, who brought them to a cave for safety. Pikachu and the others thank the Pokemon, but then the four of them are trapped by Team Rocket, who also found the cave. Cacturne saves them all using the Needle Arm, so James try to send his Cacnea out, only to be defeated and they are sent flying. Ash and the group also arrive and they thank the Cacturne. Ash decides to capture the Pokemon.

When May is training with Beautifly for the next contest, May accidentally misses the Frisbee and then Ash decides to go find it. But when he finds the frisbee, he sees a Skitty running towards him.
"Help, help, my friend is in trouble..." Skitty says to Ash and she takes Ash to her friend, which is ill-looking.
Just then, everyone also arrives and May says, "Wow, that Skitty is so cute..." Before she can battle it with Torchic, the fine one wants her friend to be healed first.
"What should we do now?" Mark asks.
Reisa says, "I know that where we can help." Then she takes them to an aromatherapy laboratory known as The Greenhouse.
"What is Aromatherapy?" May asks.
"Oh, it is a method of healing using fragrances." Ash says.
A woman in a lab coat notices the group standing at the front entrance and asks if she can help them. She introduces herself as Eliza, and then she helps them with Skitty as well as giving them a tour, where she explains that she mixes the Sweet Scents of Pokémon with aromatic herbs and flowers to create healing remedies.
"Is she okay?" The Skitty asks in worry, Ash pets her and says, "Don't worry, she said that it is merely experiencing fatigue."
The aromatherapist then concocts a brew right before their eyes, and places it in an aerosol device to spread it into the air. May decides to watch over Skitty as it recovers, and in the meantime Eliza takes the others, as well as the Skitty, through the gardens.
Once the Skitty wakes up, she starts to chase after its own tail, Reisa asks, "What is she doing?"
Then the Skitty that was with Ash also plays with the Skitty as they start to chase after Pikachu, Sylveon and Absol, until Ash and May pick them up. Eliza gives Skitty some food to keep up its strength, though May decides it the perfect time to try and catch Skitty.
But before they can do it, Team Rocket appears and they try to take the perfume, but thanks to the help of Pikachu, Sylveon and Absol, they are blasting off again and then Ash and May decide to capture them. But the ball fall off of May and Ash's hand and the two Skitty go into the balls themselves.

"Thank you for everything." Ash says.
"No problem, good luck on your journey." Eliza says. And much to their surprise, the Skitty pop out of their Pokeballs by themselves, and they start to chase each others' tails again, causing the group to laugh.
On the way, they encounter a battle between the Zangoose and the Seviper. Max says, "This is really an amazing sight, since Zangoose and Seviper are enemies, they will be fighting but I have never seen it close."
"Yeah, it is Pokemon nature after all. We should get out of their way." Ash says as they nod. But as they move forward, they see a Zangoose and a Seviper hiding in the cave, by asking what's wrong, the two of them say that they don't want to battle against each other.
"Seriously? This is the first time I have heard that the Zangoose doesn't want to fight with a Seviper and also the Seviper feels the same way..." Max says in shock.
"Yeah." Ash says. And then the two Pokemon said that they are hiding from their families, since they have been fighting for centuries, Ash feels pity for them, but he alone can't stop the fight. It is until Team Rocket appears, with their Seviper joining the other Seviper to battle the Zangoose, but once Team Rocket capture all of them, the ones stayed by Ash's side help them free the families and also they send Team Rocket flying. The Zangoose and the Sevipers want to make the two the commanders for their fight, but the two Pokemon refuses as they want to join Ash's team. So the Zangoose group and the Seviper group then agree to let them join him while they continue their fight.

They also find the migration of Masquerain, and then they see that a Masquerain is finding his brother, which is a Surskit. After fidning him, they find that the Surskit doesn't want to evolve into Masquerain, so that Reisa decides to help it out and then they persuade the Masquerain, at first it is reluctant, but once they encounter Team Rocket and how Surskit uses its Water attacks to stop them, it finally agrees to let him stay the way like this. And then Reisa and Ash each capture the Pokemon.

Ash and his friends arrive at Fiery Path, May looks around and says, "Wow, this place looks hot."
Mark says, "It is a place where we can find some fire Pokemon. Of course it is hot."
Minami says, "What will we find here?"
Max says, "Let's check it out."
Ash and his friends encounter a bunch of Numel and Camerupt. One of the Camerupt thinks Ash and the others are intruders, after clearing the misunderstanding, they play with the Camerupt and Numel. But Team Rocket tries to steal them once again using explosives. The Camerupt that is overprotective sends them flying using Eruption. After leading the way out, Camerupt decides to join Ash.

Once they get outside of the caverns, they see a man standing in front of a tree.
"Mmm-mm. I can smell it. I can smell it right here... The scent of adventure! This is definitely one. It's gotta be a Secret Spot. There'll be enough space here to build a crazy super place, or my name's not Aarune!"
He then notices the group, he says, "Yo, young Pokémon Trainers! What can I do you for, hmm?"
Max says, "Huh, we didn't ask for anything."
"Huh? What d'you mean, you didn't ask for anything? Bet your heart you did! Now, now, no need to be shy! After all, we managed to meet! The name's Aarune. Put'er there. Unova-born and twenty-five years old."
After the gang introduce themselves, he then tells them about the Super Secret Base.
"What is a Super Secret Base?" May asks.
"You don't know about Secret Bases? What kinda life is that? Too sad, little sis. Time for a lecture from Uncle Aarune! Let's start with what a Secret Base is... Which is adventure! Romance! Awesome! For real, it's the best place ever to chill—you, your pals that you let hang out… "
Ash says, "Let me explain. It is a place hiding in the trees or caves. We can put toys and training stuff in there. Sometimes, we can also make a gym out of it. Where everyone can battle."
Aarune says, "Thanks a lot, little boy. You see here, this is a Secret Spot. If you use a move call Secret Power, you can open it and go inside."
"They go inside the tree's secret base, Max says, "Wow, it is big."
Minami says, "But it is empty."
"Of course. You need to decorate it. You can decorate it with dolls, Tables and balloons."
He takes out a lot of stuff and makes it furnish.
"Awesome…" Max says.
Mark says, "Yes. This looks better."
Aarune asks, "So are you interested in the base?"
Ash says, "Well, we already have one located in the mirage islands."
Aarune says, "Of course, the Mirage islands around Hoenn is a perfect spot for the Bases."
Before they can keep talking, Team Rocket comes in again and tries to take over the base. But Ash uses Absol to send them flying.
"Thank you for defending the base. How about I give you something in return."
He takes out a Bed and gives it to Ash. Ash transport the bed in their secret base. Then they say goodbye as they continue their journey.
At Route 13, they help a young lady make some flutes by picking up Ashes. They get all 5 kinds of flutes in return.
Ash and his friends have made it to Fallarbor Town, where May will participate in her second Pokémon Contest.
"This time I am going to win." May says confidently.
"Ash, how about you?" Minami asks.
"I will sit this one out. May needs some ribbons and I can't steal it." Ash says.
"How nice of you." Mark says.
As they enter the Contest Hall, May becomes nervous about all the competition. They take particular interest in a Medicham which is practicing its Meditate. Suddenly various objects around the room begin to float, including Max's glasses and even Pikachu. Medicham's Trainer, Grace, tells it to stop and apologizes for its burst of psychic energy.
The group and Grace have dinner, Ash asks, "So Grace, how many ribbons do you get?"
"Oh, I got three." She shows them her ribbons.
May gets nervous again, but Grace tries to cheer her up. "Don't worry. The Coordinator with the most experience won't necessarily win, it can just as easily come down to who they're facing and luck, but a Coordinator will never be able to win until they learn how to use their Pokémon's power completely."
"Yeah, but I am still nervous."
Grace offers to show May some of Medicham's moves. Outside, Grace sends out her Medicham and shows off its Ice Punch, then combines it with Psychic. May hadn't even considered combining moves before, so she later tries it with her Beautifly, having it use Silver Wind, then Tackle. Unfortunately May can't make up her mind and quickly tells it to use Gust instead, then changes again to String Shot. All of this just ends with Beautifly getting tangled in its own String Shot.
"Well well, looks like you are indecisive."
They turn and see Drew. "So how many ribbons do you get?"
May is saddened, "Zero…"
"Too bad, I got three already."
Ash says, "How about we have a battle?"
Drew agrees and sends out Roselia. Ash uses his Meditite and has it use Force Palm. Roselia counters with Magical Leaf, which Meditite dodges using Teleport. Roselia tries again with Petal Dance, and Meditite dodges again. Meditite uses Peck, but Roselia defends with Stun Spore, finally managing to hit Meditite. Fortunately for Ash, his Meditite evolves into a Medicham and he wins the battle.
Hoenn Dex Entry No.57 Medicham: The Meditate Pokemon: Fighting and Psychic Type. Evolved from Meditite at LV:37. Through crushingly harsh yoga training, it gained the power to foretell its foe's actions. It battles with elegant, dance-like movement.
After seeing the battle, May falls into despair again, since she believes she can't win.
Reisa says, "You know what, May? When I lost against my cousin, I did the same thing as well."
"Then how did you conquer your despair?" May asks.
"I didn't give up hope. I kept thinking that I could win, and I did it." Reisa says.
May says, "You are right. I still have hope. Thanks Reisa."
The Fallarbor Town Pokémon Contest has finally begun, and May is more determined than ever to win, with Ash, Max, Mark and Minami cheering her on in the audience. Drew and his Roselia advance to the Contest Battles with a score of 29.6, Grace and her Medicham make it through with a score of 29.5, and May and Beautifly achieve a score of 25.9, barely beating another Coordinator to the second round by a tenth of a point. Jessie arrives disguised as Jessica, cheating to make her Dustox more beautiful by attaching a device to it that shot out colorful particles, and achieves the best score of 29.7.
The second round starts with May battling Jessie. Jessie sends out Dustox and tells it to use Tackle and then Rainbow, a move that Meowth is operating backstage. May tells Beautifly to dodge it and use String Shot. Dustox then uses Whirlwind to send it back and hit Beautifly, making May lose points. Dustox then uses a Poison Sting, which May knocks back with Gust, making it lose points and damaging the rainbow device. Dustox then uses Tackle and May counters it with Silver Wind. Dustox loses even more points and damages the device even further. May congratulates Beautifly while Jessie is furious. Jessie then tells Dustox to use its strongest Psybeam, which fails when Meowth discovers the remote is broken. Beautifly uses Tackle, which sends Dustox flying back, losing all its points and destroying the device.
May wins the round. The device falls off Dustox and the whole audience sees that Jessie cheated.
"Hey, there can be no cheating in the contest, so Jessica is out of the contest."
Jessie screams and throws a yellow Poké Ball which releases yellow dust. When the dust clears, Team Rocket is standing there, attempting to steal everyone's Pokémon. Ash jumps up and tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt to blast Team Rocket off once again. As the second round continues, Grace and Drew battle. Grace sends out Medicham and Drew sends out Roselia. Drew starts off with Magical Leaf, which Grace uses Meditate to dodge. Then Medicham uses Ice Punch, which Roselia gracefully dodges. It then uses Petal Dance, which Medicham stops in midair with Confusion and sends back, causing Roselia to lose points. Drew then commands Roselia to use Solar Beam. Grace tells Medicham to use Ice Punch on the ground, which builds a shield around Roselia, causing it to hit itself. Grace wins the battle after knocking it out with a powerful High Jump Kick.
The final battle is with May's Beautifly against Grace's Medicham. May starts with Tackle, which Medicham dodges with Meditate. Beautifly then uses Gust, but just before it falls to the ground, Medicham uses Confusion to levitate, limiting the number of points lost. Beautifly then uses String Shot which Medicham sends back with another confusion, damaging and tangling up Beautifly. Medicham then uses Ice Punch, encasing Beautifly in ice. As Beautifly breaks free, Medicham uses High Jump Kick. Beautifly dodges and uses Silver Wind, hitting Medicham and causing it to hurt its knee, losing major points. Beautifly uses a Tackle and String Shot combo, and Medicham uses Confusion to stop it. Still spinning, Beautifly uses Silver Wind and encases Medicham in string. Beautifly then uses Tackle, entwining Medicham with the String Shot. May uses Tackle as Medicham breaks out of the string and dodges. Beautifly then uses Silver Wind and traps Medicham's hands, immobilizing it. Then Beautifly uses a Tackle and Silver Wind combo to inflict major damage on Medicham. Medicham then tries to turn it around with High Jump Kick, which May tells Beautifly to counter with Tackle. The two approach each other head-on and collide just as time runs out. May is declared the winner of the Fallarbor Contest, as she was the one with more points.
"I win…" May can't believe she won her first contest battle, she jumps in joy.
After the ceremony, Ash says, "Congratulations, May. You did it."
"Thanks, I couldn't have done it without you guys." May replies as she admires her first ribbon.
The next day, Ash says, "Since we are here, how about we go visit Professor Cozmo?"
The group agrees with the idea and then they go to his lab, only to find that he isn't in there. They check out the security cameras and find that he was kidnapped by Team Aqua at the Meteor Falls. They head towards Meteor Falls and sees Shelly.
"You, what are you doing to Professor Cozmo?" Reisa asks.
"And who are you spoiled brats?" She asks them.
"You don't need to know. We will be stopping you." Ash says as he takes out Electrike.
"Ah! So even I, Team Aqua Admin Shelly, have been made a fool. …Fine! Brats who don't know how to watch their mouths must be punished! I won't forgive you if you cower in fear either! Wahahaha!"
She sends out a Carvanha and they battled Electrike uses Thunder Fang to end it off and evolve into Manectric.
Hoenn Dex Entry No.59 Manectric: The Discharge Pokemon: Electric Type. Evolved from Electrike at LV:26. Because lightning falls in their vicinities, Manectric were thought to have been born from lightning. In battle, they create thunderclouds.
"Did I get too easy on you?" Shelly says as she recalls her Carvanha.
"Hmph… Do these mere children give you so much trouble? You—an Admin of Team Aqua…" They turn and see a red hair man with a pair of glasses walking towards them with two Team Magma Grunts.
"Hmph! Even Team Magma showed their faces, huh? There's nothing to be done about it…"
She tells other Aqua grunts to take the Meteorite in Cozmo's hands and then she sends out Koffing.
"Ahahaha! Later days, brats and Team Magma! All right, time to rush to Mt. Chimney!" She says as she uses Smoke screen to escape.
Mark quickly takes off the tape that binds Professor Cozmo's mouth. Mark asks, "Are you okay, Professor?"
"I am fine, but they stole the Meteorite."
Ash then faces the man with the red glasses. "Team Magma leader… Maxie…" Ash mutters.
Maxie stares at him and says, "Hmm. Though you are but a child, your eyes tell me of your fierce determination. My heart is pounding in my chest... Yes, I think I can see why my lowly Grunts could not stand one minute against you at the Oldale ruins. I am called Maxie. I stand as the head of Team Magma, a noble organization whose goal is to propel humanity to even greater heights of progress and evolution. Indeed. And you are one of the young persons who may shape our society's future. Considering that fact, I believe I shall educate you in the ways of the world. The land... It is the stage upon which humanity stands. The land exists so we humans might continue onward and upward, stepping into the future... For us to continue growing and evolving, humans require a grand stage upon which to stand. A land upon which we can stride forward... A land we can explore...develop...exploit... This is the basis for the growth of all human endeavor. That is why we, Team Magma, must increase the landmass of the world! Believe that this will lead to a future of eternal happiness for humanity... And consequently for all life!"
He throws a Cameruptite and Ash catches it.
"Humph. I suppose the concept may still be too difficult for a child to comprehend. Is that the case? At least I have tried to open your mind. I will take my leave for now. I suggest you take care that you never again stand against Team Magma. I will not be so lenient next time. I implore you to remember that." He says as he leaves, the two grunts also follow as well, but Sylveon notices one of the grunts look familiar, but she shrugs it off.
"Even the Team Magma leader?" Ash asks as he looks at the mega stone in his hand.
"So not only you have a Sharpedite from the Team Aqua boss, but the Cameruptite from the Team Magma boss." Reisa says. "Don't you think it is weird?"
"Whatever it is, I will stop them both." Ash declares.
Back at the lab, Professor Cozmo says, "Thank you for saving me, but that meteorite, I need to get it back."
"We will get it. I heard that they are at Mt. Chimney. Let's go there." Ash says.
They head towards the Mt. Chimney Cable car, they are lucky that no one is there. Ash and his friends hop on a cable car for an easy trip up the mountain.
"Why is that Meteorite special?" Ash asks.
"It serves as a mega stone for the legendary Rayquaza." Cozmo says.
"What? Is that true?" Minami says.
"It is my theory." Professor Cozmo says.
"Well, we should get it back no matter what it is." Ash replies.
But then, a small group of Team Aqua agents storm into the summit cable car station and successfully overpower the workers. They shut down the cable cars, stranding both Ash's group and Professor Cozmo halfway up the mountain.
"Why is it stopping?" Max asks.
"It must be Team Magma or Team Aqua. We have no other choice." Ash takes a grappling hook from the cable car's storage cupboard and uses it to latch onto a nearby support tower. He begins to climb across the rope to the tower, Professor Cozmo and Ash's Pokemon also follow suit, but then after the 5 of them get to the tower, the rope snap and then the others are stranded on the cable car.
"Don't worry, we will get help." Ash says as they rush to the top of the mountain. Ash asks, "But if the Meteorite is for Rayquaza, why is Team Aqua and Team Magma want it?"
"I don't know." Cozmo says. But as they get to the top, they find that Team Aqua and Team Magma battling each other. They also see Maxie and Archie battling and they realize what Archie is doing with the Meteorite.
"Oh no, the device will cause the volcano to erupt, which would deal untold damage to the surrounding area." Cozmo says.
"Then Professor, go sneak up to take the meteorite, I'll provide the distraction." Ash says as he steps forward.
"So we meet again." Maxie sees Ash and Archie turns around.
"You little scamp, you are here to stop us?" Archie says as they both change their targets at Ash. Ash sends Grovyle, Torchic and Mudkip to battle them. Torchic and Mudkip evolves into Combusken and Marshtomp and defeat the megas. At the same time, Cozmo tries to stop the machine, but it is protected by electric lock. Pikachu comes to help him as he manages to use the Electricity to break the lock and then Cozmo takes the Meteorite before throwing the machine into the depths of the volcano.

"Just because we are fighting each other that made our Pokemon tired." Archie growls.
"Ash Ketchum, tell us. Land or Sea, which one is better?" Maxie asks.
Before Ash can say a word, they both get a call from Courtney and Matt that the Orbs are at Mt. Pyre. And then Cozmo and Pikachu also arrive to have the meteorite in their hands.
"Since we have found what we wanted, we have no use for it." Then both sides retreat.
Just then, they are surprised that the others arrive at the top, Ash asks, "How did you come out of it?"
Mark says, "We don't know, but a person in a Magma Suit saved us using Aerodactyl. But she is gone before we want to thank her..."
"Strange..." Ash says. But then Professor Cozmo decides to let Ash keep the Meteorite, as well as giving him the Mega Stones for Gardevoir and Gallade. Waving goodbye to Professor Cozmo, Ash and his friends head down the Jagged Pass, towards Lavaridge Town.
This Chapter is full of game plot than Anime plot. Yes, Ash has a Meteorite in his hands. And Maxie made his debut in the fic. Yay.
