The vines were continuing to grow, expand, and destroy everything in their path. On top of Prism tower was what looked like a red, glowing Zygarde. Next to it was Lysandre, who was watching in joy as he says,"Yes!! The spotlight's on my greatest work of all"! We were trying to join together, but the vines made it hard to do so. Suddenly, the cores in Bonnie's bag jumped out and ran off, trying to get to the Zygarde. They both changed into their 10% form and darted towards Prism Tower. I saw Bonnie, who was separated from Clemont as I went over, making sure she was alright. She says,"Liz, Squishy and Bluey both ran off towards Prism Tower!! What if they're in danger"? I say,"Don't worry Bonnie. Um...," before I noticed Misty and Brock. I say,"Guys, you watch over Bonnie. Ash and I are going to find Squishy and Bluey," before running off. Ash started to follow me, but saw that Alain was looking for something. He went over and asked as Alain says,"I'm looking for Mairin." Ash decided to help Alain out as they went deep into the city. Katie, Iris, Serena, and Clemont went to look for the cores as well. In other parts of the city, vines kept appearing from all over the place.
One vine was heading towards a man as Sawyer released Sceptile, who destroyed it with leaf blade. Shauna, Trevor, and Tierno released their partners to help make a path for people evacuating. Professor Sycamore was dodging vines left and right, while remembering that this was the event that Olympia forsaw before worrying about our safety. A vine heading towards a boy was stopped by Diantha and Gardevoir, who used shadow ball. Meanwhile, I was flying, trying to see if I can find Squishy and Bluey. Suddenly, I noticed that two look alike pokemon were heading towards the tower. I instantly recognized them: they were Squishy and Bluey in the dog form, like the picture Bonnie made a while back. I caught up and landed in front of them, saying,"Listen, I know you want to help your friend and save it from the condition it's in. However, what if someone sees you and tries to capture you? Or worse; what if Team Flare is around"? Suddenly, a familiar voice came around, saying,"You're right about that," revealing it to be Bryony from a while back. I say,"It's you!! You were one of the people trying to steal Squishy and his friend!! Well, not this time"!! She smirked and says,"Why not," before having her Bisharp use dark pulse as the cores launched dragon pulse, creating smoke and an explosion. Once it cleared, they were gone as I had my turn to smirk and say,"Looks like they disappeared. Now what? The way I see it, I can either turn you in no problem whatsoever, or battle you to make that happen."
Bryony laughed before saying,"This is just a minor setback. Besides, they aren't what I'm really after. I'm after a much bigger prize: you"! I grew defensive as grunts seemed to surround me. I say,"When you have no where else to go, there's only one direction and that's up," before flying up at incredible speed. Bryony had Bisharp use dark pulse as I maneuvered away to dodge it. However, a rogue dark pulse caught me in the back as I crashed hard. As I struggled to get up, Bisharp used confuse ray and I was hit. I tried to not fall asleep, but in the end, it was too strong. As I collapsed, the grunts cuffed me and were taking my pokemon out to do the same thing. With Ash and Alain, they both found Mairin and were trying to get to her, but a vine was blocking the way. Alain released Charizard, who used dragon claw to break it, When another one appeared, Raichu used iron tail and destroyed it easily. More vines appeared, making the job a lot harder. The Zygarde cores kept moving to Prism Tower, hoping they could help their friend out. A newscast was doing a report on the crisis as many people watched all over the world.
Meanwhile, Raichu used thunderbolt and Charizard used flamethrower, destroying more rogue vines in the area. As they looked to see how they did, a sludge bomb caught their attention as it came from Celosia and her Drapion. Ash remembered her vividly and she was after Ash this time. She told Alain to report to Lysandre, but Alain said,"Not a chance! I don't work for him anymore...not after what I've learned about Team Flare." Ash seemed shocked, but was happy that Alain wasn't working for Team Flare anymore. Celosia didn't seem fazed as she says,"Oh...that's cute. Who convinced you, Ash here"? Alain smiled before saying,"No...behind you," as a powerful flamethrower hits her and Drapion. It came from Ember, who saluted to the pair before darting into secret hiding again. Celosia got up as she says,"So, RX065 convinced you? Hm...guess alike minds think alike, but Ash is still coming with me!! Drapion, confuse ray," as Drapion hits Ash and Raichu with the move, making them both start to fall asleep. Raichu tried to stay awake as Celosia mocked,"Aw dear! Look who loves its trainer," before Raichu submitted to the slumber. The grunts started to cuff him and his pokemon up as well. Celosia says,"Now cut the quitting act and let's go," as Alain followed, but only to tell Lysandre to his face that he quits. Meanwhile, Ember, who watched in secret, knew Alain's idea and followed him to help save Ash and, when she finds out later, me. The newscast started to do another report when all the televisions were interrupted.
Instead, it was Lysandre, who was doing a video for all to see. As everyone everywhere was watching, he says,"To my beloved Kalos Region and the entire world, I am Lysandre. Team Flare is with me to do my bidding. I have an announcement. We are here to remake the world into a place of pure beauty and peace. Team Flare's purpose is to transform into an exquisite example of creation." An image of the red Zygarde appeared as Lysandre continues with,"This pokemon's name is Zygarde. A legendary pokemon who will preside over the new order of the Kalos region, so, as leaders of this new order, we have decided to join forces with this powerful guardian of creation. Zygarde is angry at the behavior of both people and pokemon. The discipline of this world has been lost. Humanity is out of control. We have forgotten how to share. Without sharing, people begin to steal from each other. When that happens, there is not enough for everyone. In order to live at peace, without stealing, we must reduce the number of beings on this planet. Only the chosen ones will move on into our bright, hopeful future. We, of Team Flare, along with the fury of Zygarde, will be the ones who make that judgement. The new order will do away with the chaos of the world and bring about the beautiful future we desire."
Everyone was scared and worried about what was going on. A Team Flare grunt was trying to bring Lysandre as Chespie stood guard, ready to defend. However, Professor Sycamore stopped him, saying,"Forcing anyone to do something against their will is wrong. I don't like this." The grunt released his Skorupi, who launched a poison sting as Sycamore released his Garchomp, who blocked it with dragon claw. Once the smoke settled, the grunt saw that they had vanished. In a helicopter flying to Prism Tower, Alain watched over Ash and I, along with our pokemon as we were all still unconscious. Meanwhile, Professor Sycamore was making sure Mairin and Chespie were ok, and luckily, they were. When she mentioned about Alain and Ash heading to Prism Tower, Sycamore thought that they might be in grave danger and decided that they would go there right away. Inside Prism Tower, the scientist, Xerosic, was meeting up with Alain, who asked about Zygarde and Ash. Ember, who followed them, listened quietly and had a small device in her left paw that she was using to record as evidence for later on.
Xerosic explained,"Lysandre will soon give you all the details." Soon, he made it and met up with Lysandre, demanding answers. He was saying,"Thanks to you, our system is complete. The world will soon be at peace, just as I have been working towards." The Zygarde cores soon arrived, seeing the trapped Zygarde above. Lysandre marveled at the destruction of the land as Alain watched and tried to tell him that he quit, but kept getting interrupted. The Zygarde cores climbed up and soon were close with Zygarde, who was still angered. With my friends, Luxray, Pancham, and Fraxure were trying to fend off more vines, but they seemed endless, and the pokemon were getting tired. Suddenly, two vines tried a sneak attack from behind as Katie jumped and destroyed them with Power Sphere. A rogue vine almost caught her in the leg if it weren't for a Heliolisk jumping in with dragon tail. It came from Heliolisk and its "trainer" Clembot, who was ready to help out. Clemont and Clembot planned to head to Prism Tower before a vine came from behind, which was destroyed by a blaze kick from a Mega Blaziken and his trainer, a hero known as Blaziken Mask. Meanwhile, the Zygarde cores were trying to get the Zygarde to wake up, but nothing worked. It launched a dragon pulse as both 10% forms dodged the attack.
Alain kept trying to talk with Lysandre as the ringleader asked,"If it's to protect, just what are you trying to protect? A tomorrow that's worse than today"? Soon, a grunt tells him that preparations were completed as Ash, I, and our pokemon, still unconscious, were floated up, handcuffed tightly. Our friends soon made it and tried to get inside, but Bryony and a friend of hers stopped Mega Blaziken with dark pulse. Soon, Ash and I finally woke up and we struggled, but couldn't free ourselves in the state we were in. Not even my wings were of any service. Raichu and the rest if our pokemon were struggling as well, but it was no use. We stopped when we heard Lysandre call both of our names. We shouted at him and asked to let us go as he says,"Forgive me for your regrettably harsh treatment, but I can't release you both. You see Ash, Liz, you two may be one of the chosen ones." Clemont tried to convince the lady scientists to leave, but they were persistent. Soon, a glow caught our attention as Squishy and Bluey glowed and changed into their 50% forms to try and save their friend. We were all in shock as I say,"So Squishy and its friend, they're both Zygardes. Just...incredible." The red Zygarde jumped down as the two real ones knew they would have to use force to get it to listen to them. This crisis has just taken a major turn.
