Chapter 15 Final Battle 4

A/N- For clarification- The other world is the world of dead, which when combined with living, grants everyone immortality, or rather removes the concept of death. But due to philosopher's stone omnipotent power, it comes with drawback of equivalent exchange.

*Slash*Slash*Slash*

The power from both of its arms were neutralized. "Zaaaard" Charizard's teeth injected themselves into Greninja's body as Red commanded, "Seismic toss!" Charizard lifted Greninja up the sky and tossed it down.

{A/N- For those who bring up four move rule, Charizard can fly and throw Pokemon from above, so your argument is useless}

*Explosion*

Both were trying their best to stand up in their base forms. They were barely walking up to each other. They didn't even have energy to use elemental attacks. They didn't even touch each other. Greninja glared at Charizard who did the same.

*Falls* After all, Greninja was frailer.

"Nin-Ninja. Grennninjaaa! Ninja?" [I lost. Even after everything, I lost! What was it that I lacked?]

"Trust. In all the journeys I have been along with my Pokemon, we laughed, we mourned. We won, we lost. We ate with each other; we care for each other. Absolute trust. That is what the relationship between us is. We take care of each other's backs. You who are filled with secrets will not understand." Red said as he gave a shoulder to Charizard.

"Like you would understand... But I must accept, in all my years as a trainer, this is truly the greatest battle I had. 2 wins each. Let's see... Who will be the winner of 2 more rounds!"

"Bring it on, Aron!"

"Snorlax!"

"Dralzen!"

The 5th round between the two champions commences.

XXXX

"To think the emissaries of sun and moon would fight for evil. Such a shame. Even Lugia and Ho-Oh... And that bastard Hoopa. Such a shame." [Nut Form: World of darkness]

[Primordial Z power: Searing Sunraze Smash]

The attacks cancelled each other. But...

[Primordial Z power: Menacing Moonraze Maelstorm]

Vlam barely dodged the attack. But if it continued, it would hit the ground, making the city into ashes.

*Blast*

There was a barrier that blocked the attack.

"How was that attack blocked? Wait..."

Vlam then spotted the human. The human with the weird weapon stopped the god's attack.

_ "The Yin and Yang. The forces shall become one. The birth of philosopher's stone." The light stone and dark stone became one. "Solar fire [Solgaleo and Ho-Oh] and Lunar Water [Lunala and Lugia] that makes the Shamayim, heed my call. The being of balance [Zygarde] and the one who brings forth imbalance [Hoopa]. The divine power bestowed upon Vlam and Power of the first ancestor that resides in Mewtwo. Power over all time [Celebi]. And the three essentials that can transmute anything, Water [Mercury/Manaphy] Fire [Suphur/Victini] and Ground [Sodium/Obilisk]. Grant me your power, grant me Azoth. Grant me infinite energy!" The EM blaster [which was attached to the three tubes with the mythical pokemons attached to it] started collecting huge amount of power collected in a single point near the one stone attached to the centre. 'The philosopher's stone'

Sahara who was trying to attack Samuel was also distracted by Alakazam.

"Miss Sahara. With all due respect, you can't beat me. The moment I saw you, I knew that. I knew what kind of hypocrite you are."

Alakazam used psychic once again.

"Pharock, Light screen. Pyroubus, Heat wave." The screen partially blocked the Psychic, while heat wave was blocked by Alakazam.

"Yes, all I need to do is to continually pressurize you. Someone like you can't beat me. It is beyond me, how a PACIFIST like you became champion of Zehar"

"Heh. Having an all knowing pokemon is annoying. But I thought you would be more matured. Clefable, Moonblast."

[Mirror coat]

Clefable's Moonblast was reflected on itself. But that was when she took out a device. "Ranger summoner" and a blue light was released from that.

"Suicune, forgive me this one time" She said smiling. The blue dog like pokemon understood what was supposed to be done. As the Pokemon, ran towards Alakazam, rain droplets fell on the ground.

Suddenly, a vortex of water caged Alakazam and Suicune saw down on the psychic Pokemon pitifully. At that moment, 100 of feelings flew through Alakazam's mind.

"It's over. Let's stop their leader." Sahara said as she got up on Suicune.
"Ka-Zaaaam!" Alakazam extended its arms, and caused a massive explosion. Suicune used protect to block the explosion, but Alakazam was already before them.

"How does it feel to be caught in a trap, mister intelligent?" Two large hands hands grabbed Alakazam by its neck. The sound of Locurse was hidden overshadowed by the sound the rain. The advantage, Locurse have is their mobility. They can change from singular to team whenever they want. Now that it was pinned down, Alakazam was helpless. Because they were dark type Pokemon who are completely immune to Psychic type attacks.

"If you don't mind it, can you stop this? This is annoying." The old man behind Samuel whispered calmly.

"Who... are you?" No one observed him. The man stood there as if he was always in that place.

"It's irrelevant. If I were to say... I am the strongest trainer alive. And you are not going to perform any ritual as long as I say NO."

"Huh?" When they both looked in each other's eyes, it felt like the time had stopped. But that man moved past Samuel. He completely ignored him. "Your shadow... Why does it... extend beyond mine?" The older man replied just with a smile.

"What a fascinating machine. So... will you feel sad if I destroyed it?" Sahara recognized the man. He was none other than Gueron reed.

"Ala-ka-aaam!" The psychic type Pokemon pressed the ground with its hands. Its eyes were bleeding due to using insane amount of psychic energy.

"Impossible" Sahara thought. The land was rising. The psychic Pokemon brought the molten magma to the surface. *Explosion*

Sahara retracted her Locurse into her Pokeball just before the ground erupted. A pokemon that created miniature volcano. That is un-heard feat for a non- legendary Pokemon. And the moment it was free from Locurse's grip, Alakazam teleported to Gueron.

Gueron himself took distance, the moment he sensed the Pokemon.

"You're too reckless."

"Regi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gas!" The arm stroked upon Alakazam. Th psychic Pokemon tried to use protect, but even that wasn't enough to block the incredible strength. The arm of the ancient pokemon blew Alakazam away.

'Most bones are broken. I can't even feel my left side. A lot of them are displace.' Alakazam stabbed itself. No, rather it repaired the displaced and broken bones.

"MEWTWOOO! Do it!" Samuel shouted. The dark Mewtwo transmuted its entire power into the weapon. Its power distorted the sky. The sun was black and the skies were torn.

In the myths this symbolised the death and rebirth. Beginnings and the ends. The bonds that you make when you meet someone, and the sadness formed when they are broken. Beginnings and endings. Aloha.

"Yes... the Philosopher's stone. Grant me your power. Combine the world of death and living. With this, the cycle of death will be removed." Samuel was trying to absorb the philosopher's stone. The stone that had the power to grant any wish. Azoth, the ultimate power.

"Stop it!" Gueron's Regigigas' tried to crush Samuel. But...

*Stab* "Wha-Why?" Issac stabbed Samuel. No, that wasn't Issac. The face held a great malice. The darkness that surpassed all.

"Do you think gods will play at your will? This is Ragnarok"

"Suicune, Hydro pump!" As the legendary dog attacked, a barrier made by a winged creature stopped them.

"I shall not let you stop master's revival. That human wanted to control fate. He wanted to be almighty one that removes death, pain and hatred from the world. A hero. But he does not realize that... He is just a piece in master's chess board." The angel like being walked towards Sahara. It was the great saviour of Azure, Masseraph.

As they were talking, a hand came out of the giant hole formed in sky.

"Human, this was what you wished for, right? Eternatus [Eternamax] shall descend on to earth and tear Ignisdrill.

It was neither Issac nor another being.

Few minutes before

"Hmm... Issac must have gone there, right? That's where mansion is." Viola was searching for the route as he walked through the place. The mansion was gigantic place. There was one big building and many small ones. And only in one of them would Samuel be in.

"Hey, doll. I have come to reclaim my property." A crimson haired man was standing behind Viola. "It is fascinating how casually you are walking amidst the chaos. I guess you can't die, right? Immortal doll. So, would you be kind enough to tell me, where the sacred item is?" The man asked.

"Uh... I have no idea what you are talking about mister."

"Heh." The man caught Viola by throat and pinned him to the wall. "If you are going to resist, I will have to be rough."

"Hey, that's offensive!"

"Do I look like I am joking? Blazarous will tear you to pieces until you answer."

"Aha. That's scary. Not gonna lie, I am used to this. Like getting your eye balls plucked out of sockets, being frozen to death, but unable to die. I no longer feel pain."

"That smile... Want me to remove that smile from your face? Let's see our options. Want me to peel that skin of your body. Or should I cut that cocky tongue of yours." He was laughing fanatically.

"Actually, I will give it to you. I have no more use to with it." Viola handed over a glowing ring to the crimson haired man, Basil Phoenix.

"Yooooo, get trolled mate! Lmao!" The ring turned into a Ditto, which transformed into Blazarous, attacking Basil.

"Blazzaaarous!" The real one attacked, but Viola dropped something.

'Smoke grenade? Where did he get that?' The grenade exploded as Viola escaped with Ditto.

"Th- That B*stard!" Basil did not just get completely out smarted. He got pranked.

'Was that smile really an empty one? Then why does he... Pretend to act happy go lucky?' A smile formed on his face.

"Black sun. Samuel is in the final stage. He will change the world. Or at least he thinks he will. I wanted to use the philosopher's stone for myself too, albeit different reason. He thinks the ends justify the means. But he does not realize. Immortality isn't a bliss. It is a curse. So, what do you think? Do the ends justify means? Can we really sacrifice the present for the peace in future?" Amethyst asked Lance.

"... There is no correct answer. Who am I to decide what is correct and what is not? Even if you come to a conclusion, there would for sure be disagreement. What is good, what is bad? Maybe, the winner is correct? Maybe the majority decides what is correct? Or someone with power can decide that. No, perhaps someone in the future who knows the results would say, 'All the sacrifices were worth' because they are happy due to this. It all depends on the perspective you see this."

"Maybe... If things went normally... Maybe I would have change too."

"Draaaalzeeen! Draaa?" [Marowak, Poliwrath, Pikachu, Charizard were all great fighters! Why am I the only one who faces that lazy bum?] Dralzen glared at Aron. Dralzen was someone that not even Aron could control.

_ Rinato island

"Dereeee!"

"Zeeen!" Both the Dragon and Goat Pokemon knocked out each other. Caprardere was the only one it respected since its birth. And when it pledged its loyalties to Aron, Dralzen warned him. [If you disappoint me, I will be the one who devours you.]

As they journeyed, they became the best friends. With Caprardere fallen, Dralzen was disappointed. It was enraged, and wanted to fight a strong opponent. But now...

_ Now

Snorlax jumped on Dralzen. [Body slam]

Dralzen tried to charge on Snorlax, under estimating the opponent. But it got crushed.

"Zen?" It was being crushed under the weight of Snorlax. It was now enraged. Dralzen lifted Snorlax. It's incredible power is on par with Caprardere.

"Outrage" Dralzen ferociously attacked Snorlax, throwing it on the ground at incredible force. It kept attacking, even creating a crater on the ground. But this only served to infuriate Dralzen, because Snorlax ignored its opponent, going to sleep while taking the beating.

"Zen, retreat for now!" Aron tried to stop the dragon, but it went forward to attack Snorlax.

"Sleep talk" Snorlax got up, and used ice punch during sleep. The ice punch badly wounded Dralzen, throwing it on the ground.

"Hey, Snorlax is beating you in its sleep. You are weak. Hey, Aron. Aerodactyl, Gallade, Capra and even Greninja were incredibly strong. Why did you send this weak little think now? Is that non battle type pokemon." Red knew Dralzen's weakness. Its temper and pride. The pride that Snorlax had punched on and the temper he is taking advantage of.

"Draaaaaa!"

"What?"

"What?" Both of them got goose bumps. The sky changed. Something was descending. And they knew by instinct. It was dangerous.
