Hey all welcome to the new chapter, we are finally at the climax of this arc, one that I didn't think would go on this long but here we are. Also we've broken 54,000 views! Thanks to Dragon King Ryouga for the review once again. I do not own Pokemon.


CH 55 Necrozma


Ash ran down what seemed to be the fifth hallway he had come across. He could hear loud noises ringing through the base but he had yet to reach the source. It was obvious that the final battle may have started without him. All the hallways blended together in the maze of a basement, the sound of clinking metal everytime he threw open another door. He hadn't realized Giovanni was so far ahead of him, probably due to him knowing every inch of the base. Piakchu clung onto his shoulder as he sprinted through the halls at a breakneck pace.

After traversing three more halls he came to a fork in the road, one path leading to the left and another to the right. He furrowed his brows unsure of what direction to go in. Taking out his X-Transceiver he was annoyed to find that he had no reception. Considering this area had not been on the plans to the base, he was lost. Putting it back he decided to head left as that was where the noise seemed to be coming from.

"Ash wait up!" He stopped in his tracks turning to see Alain and Gladion running up to him.

"Gladion, Alain good to see you two!" Ash exclaimed waving his arms.

"Guess that means you took down Giovanni?" Alain asked as the two stopped in front of him.

"Eh technically, he still got away," Ash said, rubbing the back of his head with a sheepish smile," but I think his plan is progressing." As if on cue a loud roar was heard as the walls seemed to shake.

"What on earth was that?" Gladion asked bracing himself from the loud and sudden noise.

"Probably nothing good," Alain answered.

"Any idea what we are even walking into?" Gladion asked Ash.

He shook his head," no clue, Giovanni really didn't share any big details on what was next."

"Alright, we had better prepare for the worst then. With that the three continued down the left path.


Meanwhile:

"Toxtricity Thunderbolt!" Gloria's Amped form Toxtricity blasted Dawn-Wings Necrozma with a large thunderstrike. The attack did little to phase it though.

"Not even a scratch," Leon mumbled," Charizard Flamethrower!" Charizard let out a roar before unleashing a torrent of flames at Necrozma. The attack,however, did little to affect Necrozma.

"Da hells going on?" Gloria asked Gary confused as to why it was taking no damage.

Blastoise fired off a Hydro Pump doing no damage either," no clue, it should be taking damage!"

"Sheesh this thing is a pain," Marissa growled as Sceptile slashed at it with Leaf Blade. Necrozma didn't even flinch before knocking him back with one of its large wings.

The group was not having any luck with the newly fused Necrozma. All their attacks seemed to not even tickle it, yet it had not made a move of its own yet. It just floated in place brushing their attacks off. After a few more failed attempts on their part, Necrozma launched a blast of energy.

"Sylveon use Light Screen!" Alex's Sylveon tried to protect their friends but failed as the blast broke through knocking her and the others back.

"That thing has a ton of power," Leon said watching the result of the attack," any ideas?"

"I got one," Gloria said holding a pokeball," you ain't gaun like it though Leon."

"You think that's a good idea Gloria?"

"Aye I do, this thing isn't going down easy, best use every asset we got." Gloria recalled Toxtricity as she tossed out the new Pokeball,"c'mon Eternatus!" The large legendary dragon appeared with a loud roar.

The others were surprised at the size of Gloria's Pokemon. Despite not knowing what it was they could tell it was strong. Giovanni cocked an eyebrow at the new opponent.

"I don't think I have seen something like that before," Giovanni said interested in the new Pokemon.

"This is Eternatus, something that caused Galar a whole load of problems a ways back."

"Interesting yet you choose to rely on it?"

"Course, a strong Pokemon is a strong Pokemon. Then again don't recall asking yer opinion mate. So don't mock me or I'm gaun knock ya flat on the ground."

Gary leaned over to Leon and whispered," does everyone from Galar speak like that?"

Leon shook his head," nah not as many as you may think."

Giovanni sighed at her as Necrozma unleashed a rather strong Dark Pulse at Eternatus.

"Dragon Pulse!" Eternatus fired right back as the two blasts collided. Neither attack won out as they were both on the same power level.

"Let's back her up, Sylveon Reflect!"

"Alakazam Light Screen!" The two opted to try and up everyone's defenses in prep for the next attack.

"Sceptile Leech Seed!" Sceptile hit Necrzoma's left wing with a seed that sprouted vines trying to constrict the wing. She was hoping to recover strength and restrict Necrozma's attack options. The plan failed as Necrzoma easily snapped the vines.

"No good either huh," Marissa mumbled in disappointment.

"Everyone try your strongest moves," Alex said," Sylveon Moonblast!"

"Hydro Cannon!"

"Hyper Beam!"

"Frenzy Plant!"

"Blast Burn!" All of the attacks hit Necrozma at once finally knocking it back a bit.

"Look it actually took damage," Gary noted," though it took a ton of firepower to do it."

"I got an idea," Gloria said getting everyone to look at her," if that thing is too strong like this how bout we separate it?"

"That could be it, but how?" Alex asked her.

"I dinnae not an expert ya know."

"What did she say?" Marissa whispered to Leon.

"She said she doesn't know," Leon answers," but didn't he use some device before to fuse them?"

"He did," Anabel answered in a whisper," but how are we supposed to get it?"

"Distract him, I'll knock him right out," Marissa answered cracking her knuckles."

"Finally agree with ya," Gloria said cracking her knuckles too.

Gary ignored the two violent women as he remembered what he had in his pocket. The remote that had been found in the Hau'Oli Pokemon Center. Alain had given it to him to research though he had found out almost nothing. Now that he thought about it he realized it looked exactly like the one Giovanni had. The question was if they would have to weaken it enough. He was broken out of thoughts when he saw Eternatus get pushed back by Necrozma quite a bit.

"Shite that thing has a ton of power," Gloria cursed as Eternatus recomposed itself.

"I have a plan," Gary said getting their attention," but I think we need to weaken it enough first."

"You do realize we haven't been doing well with that right?" Anabel asked as Alakazam took a Dark Pulse head on.

"Yeah I know but we can hold out, we should save the Mega-Evolutions for as long as we can though."

"Just in case this gets worse?"

Gary nodded at Alex," exactly my point."


Back with Ash:

Ash, Gladion and Alain were now accompanied by Paul, Hau, Lillie and Looker as they ran down another hallway. Looker had taken lead of the group as they navigated their way through the maze of hallways.

"The rest of the officers are here securing the base," Looker called out to the others behind him," we just need to apprehend Giovanni!"

"They caught the admins that were here?" Paul asked as they turned another corner.

"Yes, all accounted for, Giovanni is all that's left. Once we get him it's over." The group continued on in silence, the only noise being the sound of their feet against the tiled floors. The sounds of battle got closer and closer until they reached a large metal door.

Ash, Alain and Looker barreled through the door to see the other group facing down Giovanni, their Pokemon out and a bit tired looking.

"Oye about damn time the cavalry showed up, thought we were gaun be screwed for sure." Nobody in Ash's group knew who the girl with the thick accent was, except for Looker. They looked from her to the Pokemon they were fighting.

"Is that Necrozma?" Lillie asked feeling worried.

Alex nodded at her,"it is fused with Lunala."

"You're joking right?" Gladion asked his jaw dropping a bit.

"He ain't joking lad," Gloria answered," this 'ere Necrozma fused with Lunala or whatever ya call it. Real bad situation and we ain't been able to deal much damage to it."

"I can't understand a word she's saying," Hau whispered to which Lillie responded with a bonk on the head.

"Well it seems like everyone is here now," Ash's group turned their attention to Giovanni," at least this way I can deal with you all at once."

"Alex, switch your group out with ours!" Alex and the others backed off to let their Pokemon rest as Ash and the others took point. Greninja, Aggron, Venusaur, Decidueye and Alain's Charizard all appeared from their balls. As they did Necrozma let out a beam of energy at them.

Greninja hopped onto Charizard's back who weaved around the blast as Aggron readied itself with Iron Defense. Decidueye vanished out of the way and Venusaur used his vines to launch into the air.

"Greninja Double Team!" Out of danger, Greninja hopped off Charizard's back and created his duplicates in mid-air.

"Charizard Fire Spin!" Charizard let out a torrent of flames that trapped Necrozma inside a vortex of fire.

"Decidueye Spirit Shackle!" Hau's Decidueye flew above the fire vortex being careful not to get burned before shooting a series of ghostly arrows into the vortex. The arrows hit their mark causing purple chains to appear around Necrozma.

"Aggron Earth Power!" Aggron slammed the ground and a large pillar of rock appeared underneath Necrozma.

"Water Shuriken!" Greninja finished the combo attack hurling a large shuriken into the top of the vortex. The shuriken hit its mark but also caused the fire to evaporate as a steam covered the area obstructing their view.

"Now Gloria!"

She heard Leon call out and smirked," Eternatus Eternabeam!" All of their Pokemon scrambled out of the way as a massive blast tore through the steam and collided with Necrozma. The blast was strong enough to deal some significant damage to Necrozma as it was sent flying back. Much to their annoyance it still wasn't enough to beat it.

"Still not enough huh," Gary mumbled before looking at Ash and nodding," Blastoise Rapid Spin!" Blastoise entered the battle again tucking his body into his shell and began to spin towards Necrozma.

Ash nodded to Greninja who ran forward and jumped onto the spinning Blastoise. He steadied himself on the spinning turtle pulling out his water kunai. Once they were close enough Greninja flipped off of Blastoise before kicking the still spinning turtle. Blastoise crashed into Necrozma before Greninja dashed in slashing at Necrozma. This time Necroma did flinch which gave the others an opening.

"Frenzy Plant!" Marissa's Sceptile slammed the ground causing large vines to appear and constrict Necrozma, holding it in place. Thanks to the previous hits, Necrozma was not able to break free as easily as before.

"Venusaur Toxic," Lillie's Venusaur unleashed a wave of purple energy that enveloped Necrozma poisoning it.

"Alakazam use Confuse Ray!" Anabel's Alakazam hit Necrozma with a ball of psychic energy that made its head spin. Necrozma became disoriented as it struck itself with a wing.

"Necrozma hit itself in confusion!" Marissa's remark went ignored as both Alain and Leon's Charizards flew towards Necrozma.

"Flare Blitz!" Both Charizards crashed into Necrozma cloaked in fire. A large blast of fire erupted from the impact as they flinched from the recoil of the attack.

"Alright this is working," Hau said waving a fist in the air," Decidueye Leaf Storm!"

"Venusaur you use Leaf Storm too!" Both grass starters unleashed a storm of razor sharp leaves onto Necrozma. The poison coursed through Necrozma as it staggered from the pain.

"This is our chance," Gary said pulling out the remote and hitting the large center button. The weakened Necrozma let out a loud cry as it was enveloped in light and Lunala appeared next to it.

"How dare you," Giovanni said recalling Lunala. He however was surprised when he looked down and saw something he hadn't noticed before. On the ground next to him was a sock puppet.

"Sock Puppet use Self-Destruct!" The sock puppet burst into a cloud of smoke as Marissa ran forwards grabbing Lunala's ball from Giovanni and tossing it to Gladion. He caught the ball and hooked it back onto his belt.

"Back where it belongs," Gladion said, securing the ball on his belt.

"Now maybe we can actually take it down," Ash said but Giovani just laughed him off.

"Oh the fun is just starting, isn't that right Necrozma?" Giovanni looked at Necrozma who began emitting a bright golden light.

"Jeez now what?" Hau moaned. However, the ground started shaking and the walls seemingly began to split apart.

"Is the base transforming?" Looker asked as the ground they were on began moving upwards. They realized the room was a giant platform that moved up till it was outside on top of the base.


The group were surprised at the new development as Necrozma began to emit an even brighter light. They all needed to shield their eyes until the light died down. Looking back up after a few seconds they discovered that Necrozma had transformed into a glowing golden form.

"Ultra Necrozma it's called, quite regal looking," Giovanni said marvelling at Necrozma.

"Just what we needed, an even stronger form," Gray said sarcastically.

"Well we'll just need to take it down again," Ash said as the others nodded.

"I look forward to seeing you all try that."

"Leon how bout we take the first stab at it eh?" Gloria asked the former champ.

"Seems like we're on the same page champ." Gloria nodded and recalled Eternatus before brining Toxtricity back out. She activated the portable dynamax field generator as red energy surged out from it and into the air.

Ash and the others looked confused as they recalled Charizard and Toxtricity before the Pokeballs grew in size. The both threw the enlarged Pokeballs behind them.

"Gigantamax!" When Charizard and Toxtricity reappeared everyone was surprised to see them giant sized, Toxtricity even had a large guitar made of electricity.

"Whoa what the…" That was the general reaction from everyone else including Giovanni.

"Gigantamax, it's a step up from Dynamax," Leon explained though the others still had no clue.

"Oye Leon that's a shite explanation," Gloria said smacking the back of his head," basically Galar is full of special energy that lets Pokemon grow giant. All I did was replicate it with this 'ere portable generator. Our mons can only hold this form fur a limited time before they revert."

"How fascinating," Giovanni marvelled at the giant Pokemon," well let's see how they fare against Ultra Necrozma." Necrozma let out a large surge of energy creating shockwaves as it prepared for round two.
