In Anistar City, Olympia was speaking to former Kalos Champion Diantha and Hoenn Champion Steven Stone. She was saying,"The form it will take is not clear, but still, I thought it would be best to warn you. As the vision I had showed a swirling green flame consuming everyone and everything. It will affect people and pokemon alike throughout the entire Kalos region." As they listened, Diantha says,"And you say Ash, Liz, and their friends are involved"? Steven then says,"If I may Miss Olympia, what is the deep green eye you've mentioned earlier"? Olympia showed them a misty picture of an unknown pokemon. Diantha instantly knew that it was indeed Zygarde. Somehow, it is connected to the disaster awaiting Kalos. Out in the forest, Ash and I were warming up with our Greninjas. Sino and I stretched our legs out, preparing for a lengthy run. Ash and his Greninja were doing the same thing. We soon took off running, with me and Sino taking the lead. We dodged the trees effortlessly, as well as Greninja, though Ash was struggling a bit first. Then, he tried to copy Greninja's movements and he seemed to start getting it. Sino and I then took to the trees, moving easily from branch to branch.Greninja followed as Ash, with the utmost confidence, gave it a whirl too.
However, he missed a step and ended up colliding with the ground. We climbed down as I laughed and say,"Need a hand," before helping him up. He says,"You two make it look so easy." I replied back,"Are you kidding? It took me days to get this down pat. First time I ended up kissing bark and dirt 10 times in a row. Remember Sino," as my Greninja nodded in agreement. I then continue with,"It helps to look before you leap and watch how and where you leap." Ash sheepishly smiled, saying,"Got it," before we all continued running. Out at the edge of the forest, our friends were waiting for us, with Raichu in Serena's arms and Lycanroc with Iris and Fraxure. Clemont mentioned to them,"Leave it to Ash and Liz to come up with a training strategy to become a pokemon." Serena says in response,"Training can be hard, but sometimes, I wish they didn't overdo it." Ember smiled before saying,"Relax. I'm sure that they are more capable of pulling this off than before. Besides, this is your sister and your boyfriend we are talking about. They're born to do this." Iris says,"Even in that matured state, Ash can still be a little kid." Bonnie then noticed that we were returning as Sino and I arrived first, Greninja second, and a heavily breathing Ash last. Katie tossed him a canteen as she says,"Working hard I see? Keep it up," as Ash guzzled it down quick. Lycanroc tossed me and Sino water bottles as we drank them quickly as well.
Raichu joined up with Ash as he says,"It's going great. I feel like I'm catching up to Greninja, even though it's a little at a time." I say,"It takes time, but I'm sure you'll get it." He then gets up and says,"Easy for you to say "Champion." You and Sino make it look so easy. How do you do it? What's your secret"? I was about to reply when we noticed that a helicopter was right above. Coming down from them was Diantha and Steven as we were in for a huge shock. They said hi as we all said our greetings right back. Diantha then introduced us to Steven Stone as he says,"It's a pleasure to greet all of you, especially you Ms. Liz. It's great to finally meet the trainer prodigy in person." I say, blushing a bit,"Thank you. The pleasure is all mine greeting the Hoenn Champion in person." When Ash asked if everything was ok, she responded on hearing Olympia's prediction. She then showed a picture of what looked like an islans covered in vines. This incident was also occuring in other places all over Kalos. Iris says,"What could've caused something like that"? Diantha says,"We do not know yet, but if this is related to the Kalos Crisis, then Zygarde may already be on the move." We all were shocked at the hearing of Zygarde as Ember said to herself,"Zygarde...just like before."
I say,"Isn't that the pokemon you mentioned you were searching for Iris," as I looked up a picture of it and showed it to everyone. Ember then spoke up, saying,"Zygarde, the order pokemon. A dragon/ground type. Many say that it lives deep in caves and when there's a crisis, it appears with a mission. That mission is to protect the entire Kalos Region. It acts rash with those who try to tamper with its peaceful ways. It will stop at nothing until order is restored." This surprised us all since we didn't know that Ember knew about Zygarde. In surprise, Steven says,"You know about Zygarde little one"? Ember says,"In a way, I do. It's a long story, but, let's just say I have a past with it." As she spoke, she carefully eyed Squishy, who was hidden away. I say,"If our fates and its fates are connected towards the disaster, then Zygarde must be connected as well." Suddenly, I became dazed as a new vision appeared in my mind. It was this rocky version of Squishy but with vines and a green, unknown pokemon, probably related to Zygarde, was facing this man, who had technology controling the statue. I soon returned to my senses, saying,"I just had another vision guys."
As I explained it to them, Katie says,"It must be connected towards the disaster." Diantha came up to me, saying,"When did you start getting these visions Liz"? I say,"I do not know. It just...happened..especially when we first arrived in Anistar City." Steven says,"I see. Did anything else weird or strange occur"? Bonnie spoke up, saying,"Ash's Greninja and Liz's Greninja both do something that's really amazing." We explained it to Diantha as she got an idea. She says,"Why don't you two show us"? Ash and I were confused at first as Steven says,"Outstanding idea Diantha. She means a battle. I myself would like to see as well. How does a tag battle sound"? Sino and I turned to Ash as I say,"How about it? Wanna partner up," as he says,"You bet," with the two of us high fiving. We got on our Battle Pulse Meters as Clemont got his screen set up. Diantha sent out Gardevoir and Steven called out his partner, a shiny Metagross. Both our Greninjas were set as we were as well. Katie volunteered to referee as she called for the battle to begin.
Ash had his Greninja use cut on Gardevoir and I had Sino use night slash on Metagross. Using only eye contact, Diantha had Gardevoir dodge the cut and Metagross used protect against the night slash. Sino looked at me as we both nodded and smiled, agreeing that Metagross was tough. On the screen, Clemont saw that Sino's pulse waves and my pulse waves were already coming close. I shout,"Now, at full power! Sino, let's go," as the water vortex surrounded it, forming the hazel eyes, light blue diamond and black tufts. Soon, the vortex became a sleek water shurigen, revealing Liz-Sino to Diantha and Steven, who were in shock. I say,"Diantha, Steven, meet Liz-Sino. It's happened, just like we told you." Diantha says,"Impressive. I've never seen a Greninja like that before." Ash says,"It happens to us too and when it does, watch out"! Steven smiled, saying,"Thanks for the heads up Ash." On the battlefield, Ash had Greninja use water shurigen, cut, and aerial ace as Gardevoir dodged all the attacks. I then have Sino use water shurigen on Metagross, who intercepted with flash cannon, creating an explosion. I winked at Ash, who nodded right back. Behind Gardevoir and Metagross were our Greninjas as we shouted,"cut/night slash," as the attacks landed on them, causing damage. Gardevoir shook it off and used shadow ball while Metagross took off with meteor mash.
Our Greninjas both used double team and charged in, the attacks eliminating the copies. One shadow ball ended up hitting Greninja and meteor mash was barely missed. They both ended up using water shurigen as Gardevoir and Metagross dodged them. I was prepared as Sino snuck into the smoke and landed a clean night slash on Metagross before hitting power up punch on Gardevoir, gaining an attack boost. Gardevoir then used moonblast while Metagross combined flash cannon with the attack. Greninja got blown back into a tree while Sino dodged the hit and blast in the last minute. He turned to Greninja and helped him up. Back on its feet, Greninja was not determined to lose. Meanwhile, Metagross was coming in with meteor mash as Sino took the hit while both of us felt the pain of it. It looked back at Greninja before repeling Metagross back. Greninja then used water shurigen aa Gardevoir dodged. However, this time, Greninja landed a clean hit with cut while Sino hit Metagross with another night slash. Soon, Ash's pulse waves and Greninja's were coming closer before the water vortex surrounded it as well. The red diamond and black tufts appeared as Ash and Greninja were now in sync.
Things were just getting started as Greninja charged in with cut and Sino with night slash again. Gardevoir blocked it with shadow ball while Metagross used protect. Gardevoir launched another shadow ball while Sino connected it with water shurigen and Greninja hit Gardevoir and Metagross with cut. They were staggering and running out of steam. Ash shouts,"Now, we're gonna really ramp it up"! He had Greninja charge in with aerial ace and I had Sino charge in with power up punch. Both Diantha and Steven touched their keystones and suddenly, their pokemon mega evolved into Mega Gardevoir and Mega Metagross, blocking both attacks at the same time. All of us were not ready to quit. The stronger our opponents, the more fired up we get. Greninja and Sino both launched water shurigen as they were intercepted with shadow ball and flash cannon. Greninja jumped to use aerial ace as it was blocked by Mega Gardevoir using reflect. Meanwhile, Sino was dealing damage to Mega Metagross with back to back power up punches, gaining huge attack boosts every time. Both Greninjas went in with double team and charged in with cut and night slash. Mega Gardevoir blocked with reflect, but took some damage. Meanwhile, Sino got hit with flash cannon as we both felt it hard. However, we weren't ready to lose just yet. On the screen, our combined pulse waves were the strongest yet. Unlike amything any of us has ever seen.
Mega Gardevoir used shadow ball and Mega Metagross used meteor mash while we took the time to counter. Greninja destroyed the shadow ball with aerial ace and Sino created a stalemate with night slash. Ash and I weren't going to quit and neither were our Greninjas. We kept shouting,"Stronger!! Stronger," as our Greninjas seemed to shout the same thing. Suddenly, Greninja's water vortex exploded and turned into a sleek water shurigen, just like with Sino. It was at this very moment...Ash-Greninja was born. Now, no one can stop the team of Liz-Sino and Ash-Greninja. Then, I noticed that Sino was glowing blue as I say,"I'll be!! Sino just unlocked its ability torrent! When it's reached its maximum limit, it's water type moves get a huge power boost"! Now, it was really time to finish this battle. Ash had Greninja use water shurigen and I had Sino use hydro cannon as both moves were launched with tremendous strength. Mega Gardevoir and Mega Metagross tried to block with shadow ball and flash cannon, but the attacks were too much and they both got hit. Mega Gardevoir was still standing, but very weak. However, Mega Metagross was out cold as it reverted back to its original form. On the screen, something started to occur as it looked like Ash's pulse waves and Greninja's pulse waves were separating.
Ash tried to tell Greninja to use cut, but the separation got to both of them as they fell and passed out, Greninja returning back to normal. Meowth ( who has been with the group since Liz has caught it, but has not gotten a chance to have its moment yet ) shouted,"Oh no!! Ash," as everyone all rushed to his side and tried to wake him up. Diantha and I decided to call off the match as our pokemon returned to normal, both of us out of breath. We went over to try and help him up. Meowth says,"I'd figure this new fusion fest has its power drainage, but never would I expect it to happen this much"! Luckily, Ash finally woke up as Greninja seemed to come to it as well. Sino offered a hand up as it was soon back on its feet. I helped Ash up before I fell from the exhaustion of being in sync. Iris and Serena helped me up as Serena says in concern,"Sis!! You ok"? I smiled, saying,"I'm good, though that battle wiped me out. Sino too," as Sino was struggling to remain standing despite the weariness it felt. Steven came up to me and says,"That was one of the most intense matches I've had in my entire life. You definitely are not the champion for nothing."
Diantha smiled, saying,"Nothing less from the trainer prodigy. I'm impressed by how much stronger you've gotten." I say,"Hard training and determination equals this much strength." Meowth says,"I hope to one day be as tough as all the members of your go-lucky party." I then turned to Ash, saying,"Ash, you and Greninja were incredible. Totally in sync, just like me and Sino." Serena says,"She's right Ash. You two were simply incredible." Ash says,"Thanks. You know, this was one of the greatest battles I've ever had. The way we felt when we were totally in sync. We need to remember that feeling so we can control this power well," with Greninja agreeing. Soon, the helicopter arrived to pick Diantha and Steven up as they were soon on their way. Diantha and Steven agreed to look into this new power, hoping that they can use the info to protect us. We soon were all packed up and were ready to head out. We're close to Snowbelle City and I can't wait to see how my hometown has changed since I've last visited.
