Miniaturization Mayhem (Part 2)
Melemele Island: Route 1
Gladion arrived near the Tortuga's previous location.
"This is where Lillie asked me to come, but where is she?" Gladion said as he looked around.
"Gladion. I'm here!" Lillie said as she flew over directly in front of Gladion's face.
"Lillie? Why are you so small?" Gladion asked his sister about her size.
"The villains miniaturized the Tortuga with me and everyone in it!" Lillie said. "I managed to escape, but the others need help!"
"Okay, got it." Gladion said and he sent out his Ride Noivern.
"Burst!" Gladion's Burst Heart absorbed Noivern and Gladion placed the Burst Heart on his chest, releasing a flash of light.
Gladion's body turned black with his hands and feet becoming red and clawed, his ears became big like Noivern's, his eyes became yellow, white fur grew around his neck, and finally, a pair of Noivern wings appeared on his back along with a Noivern tail.
"Let's go!" Gladion put Lillie on his shoulder and took off into the air.
Meanwhile, the villains were taunting the miniaturized heroes.
"So tiny croutons, how's it like in there? It's not too cramped, is it?" Gourmand said, and the villains all laughed.
"You won't get away with this!" Lana shouted.
"Oh, but don't you think we already have?" Donita asked.
"Uh, I think so." Dabio said, and Donita rolled her eyes.
And then, the plane suddenly shook.
"Woahhh!" Zach shouted. "What was that?!"
"What's going on?" Paisley asked.
"Uh, I think we're under attack." Rex said, and the villains looked outside to see Gladion.
"Hurricane!" Gladion flapped his wings to release a powerful gust of wind at Zach's plane.
"Grr! Zachbots! Get him!" Zach ordered, and several Zachbots flew out to confront Gladion.
"Boomburst!" Gladion blasted sound waves from his ears at the Zachbots, defeating them.
"Dragon Pulse!" Gladion fired an indigo dragon-shaped energy beam at the plane.
As the villains were recovering from the hit, the heroes saw the chance to escape.
"Now's our chance!" Jimmy said as he activated Tortuga flight mode to fly it out of Zach's plane.
"Hey, get back here!" Zach said. "Zachbots!"
The Tortuga flew away with four Zachbots chasing after it.
Meanwhile, on the ground, the villains arrived with several Zachbots.
"Release!" Gladion defused from Noivern and recalled it before sending out Zoroark.
"Burst!" Gladion used Burst to merge with Zoroark.
"Zach should have the Miniaturizer. We'll need it to get everyone back to real size." Lillie said.
"Right! Thief!" Gladion got in close to Zach and swung his claw at him, however, Zach was not hurt by the attack.
"Hah! What was that supposed to be? An attack?" Zach said mockingly.
"Not exactly." Gladion said, and he revealed the Miniaturizer in his hand.
"Wha? Hey! The Miniaturizer!" Zach shouted.
"Lillie!" Gladion shouted as he threw the Miniaturizer to activate it.
Lillie landed on the Miniaturizer to return to her regular size.
"Zachbots, get 'em!" Zach ordered and the Zachbots went after Lillie and Gladion.
"Mannequins, deploy!" Donita said, sending her Mannequins as well.
"Let's go, Lillie." Gladion said.
"Right behind you." Lillie said.
"Night Daze!" Gladion slammed his hands into the ground, unleashing a crimson wave of energy at the Zachbots.
"Dragon Pulse!" Lillie fired an indigo dragon-shaped energy beam at the Mannequins.
"Shadow Claw!" Gladion's claws became enveloped by a ghastly aura as he slashed a Mannequin.
"Moonblast!" Lillie shot a pink energy orb at a Zachbot.
"Lillie's back to real size, and Gladion's with her! They've got the Miniaturizer!" Mallow said.
"Come on, we need to get back to real size, too!" Martin said.
"We can't Big-Size the Tortuga while we're being chased by Zachbots!" Jimmy said.
"Then we'll go first!" Chris said.
Ash and Kiawe sent out Decidueye and Charizard.
"Burst!" Ash and Kiawe used Burst to merge with Decidueye and Charizard.
"Dragonair Burst! Flygon Burst! Metang Burst!" Lana, Mallow, and Sophocles used Burst to change into their Burst forms of Dragonair, Flygon, and Metang.
"Activate Creature Powers!" Chris and Martin activated Peregrine Falcon and Blue Heron Powers.
Ash, Kiawe, Lana, Mallow, Sophocles, Chris, and Martin flew out of the Tortuga and right down to the Miniaturizer.
"Back to real size!" Chris and Martin shouted as the heroes landed on the Miniaturizer to return to real size.
"What?!" Zach said in disbelief.
"Everyone, you're back to normal!" Lillie said as she saw her friends.
"You guys take it here, while we go save the Tortuga!" Martin said, and he and Chris took off.
"Spirit Shackle!" Ash fired an arrow at a Zachbot's shadow to pin it in place.
"Flamethrower!" Kiawe breathed out a stream of fire at the Mannequins.
"Thunder!" Lana summoned a storm cloud that rained down lightning bolts on the Zachbots.
"Flash Cannon!" Sophocles fired a beam of metallic energy at the Zachbots.
"Earth Power!" Mallow stomped her feet on the ground, sending out shockwaves that caused an eruption underneath the Mannequins.
In the sky, Chris flew up high and caught a Zachbot with his talons before tossing it at another; Martin came from below to spear the third Zachbot before coming down to strike the last one, saving the Tortuga.
"Oh, look at the time, guess it's time for us to go." Zach said, and the villains attempted to flee.
"Not so fast! Ice Beam!" Lana and Lillie shot beams of ice-cold energy at the villains, freezing them in place.
"I knew we could count on you, Lillie." Kiawe said.
"It's all thanks to you and Gladion." Sophocles said.
"Thanks a lot, Gladion, Lillie." Ash said.
"Oh, it was nothing." Lillie said.
"Think nothing of it." Gladion said.
"We'll get you next time, Wild Ratts!" Zach shouted.
"Y'know, when we do it for fun, we do like miniaturizing, and as they say, 'Spread the joy.'" Martin said, and the villains made a shocked face.
Later, in the normal-sized Tortuga, the heroes were with the villains, who were miniaturized and trapped in hamster balls.
"Let me out of here! Let me out!" Zach demanded.
"I don't have time for this!" Paisley said.
"This is so not fit for a fashion queen!" Donita said.
"I am not meant to be bite-sized!" Gourmand said.
"Don't worry, we won't keep you in there for long." Aviva said.
"We'll big-size you later, okay?" Koki said.
"But for now, try cooling your heads." Martin said.
"Yeah, at least we know that you can't cause any more troubles for today." Chris said.
Then, Togedemaru, Pikachu, Sandy, and Ash's Lycanroc all gathered around the villains.
"Uh, Donita…" Dabio said.
"Paisley…" Rex said.
"Aah! Stay away, you… you giant varmints!" Zach said.
Togedemaru, Pikachu, Sandy, and Lycanroc all passed the hamster balls to each other.
The heroes laughed as the Pokémon played at the villains' expense.
