93. Rouki, Betrayed...
Infernua
In the Infernua, Rouki is walking through the prison and meets Delia.
"Ash? Why are you here? Stay away from me!" Delia said.
"I'm here to give you this." Rouki said, giving the Redrock's talisman. Delia was in shock to see this.
"That's... a talisman belonged to my husband, Redrock!" Delia said. "Tell me where is Redrock?!"
Rouki didn't say anything and he kept silent.
"Why aren't you telling me, Ash?! I said where is Redrock?!" Delia asked angrily.
"You will be in pain to hear about this. Redrock... is dead." Rouki said, much to Delia's shock.
Delia fell to her knees and the tears of grief flowed from her eyes.
"Redrock is dead?" Delia asked in deep voice. "How?!"
"Redrock was killed by a Daemon with a laser gun." Rouki said.
"How did you know about your dad, Ash?!" Delia asked.
Rouki is silent again.
"He doesn't know everything. Ash you knew is gone forever. He's now Rouki, the Pokémon Hunter. He is devoid of good feelings and he doesn't remember everything, not even you." Los Dark as he came in.
"Why did you made Ash a slave?!" Delia asked.
"Because he is lonely without his father. He gave up being the title of Burst Warrior. He leaved his friends behind. Ash is wolf hearted now." Los Dark said.
"He will restore my father if I complete the tasks that Emperor Armada gives me." Rouki said.
"They are lying, Ash! They will not restore your father! You are being fooled!" Delia said.
"Shut up!" Rouki silenced Delia by shooting the lunar waves at her. "I don't care! They WILL restore my father!"
Rouki and Los Dark leaves the prison. In the prison cell, Delia started crying.
Rouki silently watched crying Delia. He felt bad in his heart. "Sorry, mom. I have to do this..." Rouki then leaves again.
Pokémon World: Cerise Laboratory (5 days later)
In the Cerise Laboratory, the heroes were having breakfast but, they aren't happy without Ash. Goh too wasn't happy.
"Goh, don't be sad all the time. We'll get your Cinderace back." Gwen said to Goh.
"I'm not sad because of Cinderace, it's because of Ash. He hasn't returned for five days." Goh said.
"Me too. Without Ash, the team would be incomplete." Chloe said.
The Pokémon too felt miserable without Ash.
"Guys, I found out why Ash hasn't returned yet." Ben said and he takes out the childhood picture of Ash, Redrock and Delia.
"That's the childhood picture of Ash, his dad and his mom." Dawn said.
"I saw him watching the picture as a momentum and... he felt lonely without his father." Ben said. "Without getting noticed by us, Ash left."
"So, that's why Ash wanted to travel alone!" Serena said. "We must convince Ash and bring him back!"
"How?! Ash is a lonely kid!" Kevin said.
"Ash is not lonely! The Ash I knew is the positive, full of energy, strong hearted, leader like qualities, he the one who never give up and doesn't be lonely like that! Ash has lost his father but, not his friends, right?!" Serena said.
"Ash still a lonely kiddo, Serena." Kevin said.
"Don't you know about Ash, Kevin?! He's the boy I love and he's a strong Burst Warrior!" Serena said and the two began to argue.
"Hey, chill! Chill, Serena!" Gwen said, restraining Serena.
"Don't say any bad about Ash, Kevin!" Ben said, restraining Kevin.
"Ash is a friend who gave us courage, will and strength to face the problems." Clemont said.
"He is the one who is experienced in Pokémon Battles. He's my role model." Goh said.
"Ash is like brother to us." Bonnie said.
"Fine. I give up." Kevin said, sighing.
But then, an alarm rang.
"What's going on!" Ben asked.
Gwen showed the tab, revealing the footage of Rouki attacking the Pokémon in Leaf Forest.
"That's Rouki!" Goh said. "I will give him a payback for stealing Cinderace from me!"
"Let's go! To the Leaf Forest!" Ben said and the heroes went to Proto TRUK 2.O, flying to the Leaf Forest.
Leaf Forest
In the Leaf Forest, Rouki attacking the Pokémon in the Leaf Forest.
But then, the heroes arrived.
"Rouki!" Ben said.
"I knew you guys would come. Give us your Pokémon." Rouki said.
"Pokémon? Ha! As if you are the one who owns nothing." Goh said.
"The Pokémon belongs to the humans with pure heart and good feelings, not to some creepy rascals like you!" Dawn said.
"Do you think you could own the Pokémon? Daemonic Pokémon, summon!" Rouki asked as he took out the six black Pokéballs and threw them in the air, sending out the demonic versions of Pikachu, Dragonite, Lucario, Gengar, Greninja, Farfetch'd and Toxtricity.
The heroes were shocked to see Rouki owning the Daemonic Pokémon.
"What?! How could a Daemon own the Pokémon?!" Goh asked.
"Daemonic Pokémon. They do as I tell. They are my slaves after all." Rouki said.
"Slaves?" Julie asked.
"It can't be!" Chloe said.
"I don't understand! Since when did Rouki own the Pokémon?!" Gwen said.
"He's owning the same Pokémon just like Ash!" Ben said.
"The Pokémon he owns the same ones like Ash? That means Rouki is..." Serena said in thought until her thoughts were interrupted by Goh.
"We gotta stop that guy! Everyone, let's go!" Goh said and the heroes were ready.
The kids sent out all of their Pokémon and they changed into Burst Warriors by gaining the Burst Warrior uniforms. Squishy and Z2 transforms into their 10% forms.
"Are you ready, pals?" Goh asked and the Pokémon nodded in agreement.
"Your Pokémon are tough indeed but, they don't match against my Daemonic Pokémon! My friends, attack!" Rouki said and he wields the Crescent Moon Blade, charging towards the heroes.
"It's Hero Time!" Ben transforms into Goop. Gwen changes into her Anodite, Kevin absorbs rocks to coat his body with rocks, Julie becomes Armorstrike by getting fused with Ship and Rook changes into S.W.A.T mode, Bonnie became The Tigress and they charged towards Rouki.
The Burst Warriors charges towards Rouki to attack.
The kids' Pokémon were fighting with the Rouki's Daemonic Pokémon.
Drizzile uses Liquidation at Lucario, but he dodged and uses Aura Sphere, defeating it.
"Drizzile!" Goh shouted.
Sylveon and Eevee used Swift at Farfetch'd and Pikachu but, sliced down the attack with the leek and Iron Tail. Then, they use Superpower and Iron Tail to hit Sylveon and Eevee.
"Sylveon! Eevee!" Serena and Chloe shouted before they get slashed by Rouki.
Goh uses Flaming Explosions with his Flame Sword at Rouki but, evaded and creates a ring of silver energy then launches the energy slash at Goh, pushing him back.
Clemont and Dawn tried to attack Rouki but, no avail.
Goop dodged Rouki's attack and restrains him with great strength. Rouki, however, freed from Goop and hits on the Anti Gravity Projector, making him immovable and slimy.
Gwen, Kevin, Julie, The Tigress and Rook attacks Rouki and failed.
"Now, time to finish you!" Rouki said. "Greninja, unleash the Bond Phenomenon!"
Greninja transformed into Ash-Greninja and the heroes were shocked.
"It can't be! It transformed into Ash-Greninja?!" Goh said.
"Greninja, use Fatal Shuriken!" Greninja threw a big purple Shuriken at the heroes, causing an explosion.
The heroes were bloodied and so did the Pokémon. Squishy and Z2 changed back to their default forms.
"Now, Zygarde Cells, you will be the perfect Pokémon to be slaves." Rouki said and he took out the black Pokéballs. Then, he tossed the balls in the air and they absorbed Squishy and Z2 before they shook many times before it stopped, signifying capture.
"Squishy! Z2!" Bonnie shouted. "No..."
Bonnie cried and she was comforted by her brother Clemont.
Goh was in anger and shouts "You can't steal Pokémon like that! It's bad! Very, very bad!"
"What's bad in it? Pokémon are the slaves, they will be captured easily. I treat my Daemonic Pokémon as the slaves. You and your pathetic humans also treat your own Pokémon as slaves." Rouki said.
Rouki's words angered the heroes and the Pokémon.
"Pokémon, the slaves of humans? No way! Pokémon are more than slaves!" Gwen said.
"They are the friends of humanity!" Ben said.
"When Pokémon and humans work together, we are unstoppable!" Chloe said.
"When there is bond, there is no way you can call it slavery!" Bonnie said.
"Guys, let's show the true power of Pokémon!" Goh said and the heroes stood up with determination.
The Pokémon also stood up with determination and confidence.
"Waste. Go ahead, my pets!" Rouki said and, the Daemonic Pokémon ran to attack the heroes.
"ATTACK!" Goh yelled out a battle cry.
Goh had Drizzile and Flygon to use Hydropump and Dragon Pulse; Chloe had Boltund, Eevee and Grookey to use Thunderbolt, Swift and Bullet Seed; Dawn had Prinplup, Lapras, Lopunny, Pachirisu, Typhlosion, Togekiss and Mamoswine to use Hydropump, Ice Beam, Hyper Beam, Discharge, Flamethrower, Air Slash and Ice Shard; Serena had Delphox, Sylveon, Pancham and Beautifly to use Mystical Fire, Swift, Dark Pulse and Hidden Power; Clemont had Chesnaught, Bunnelby, Luxray and Dedenne to use Pin Missile, Mudshot, Discharge and Nuzzle.
The Daemonic Pokémon also used the attacks against the kids' Pokémon.
The attacks collided each other. The Daemonic Pokémon's attack is stronger as it pushed the kids' Pokémon's attack.
"Oh no!" Bonnie said.
"Don't give up!" Goh cheered.
"Yeah! Never give up until those Daemonic Pokémon are beaten!" Dawn cheered.
The cheers of the kids made the Pokémon motivated and stronger as they increased their power and the attack pushed off the Daemonic Pokémon's that hit Rouki and his partners, knocking them back with great force. Rouki was wounded and his arm was bleeding.
"How is that possible? The Daemonic Power is even stronger than your power!" Rouki said.
"Nah! When the human's compassion and Pokémon's power unite, we will have the power of never giving up that even with your junk Daemonic Power cannot defeat us!" Ben said.
"You called the Daemonic Power a junk?! You'll regret for that! My slaves, come with me!" Rouki said and he disappeared with his Daemonic Pokémon.
The heroes were celebrating.
"Alright! Rouki ran off!" Goh said.
"Don't celebrate, everyone! Squishy and Z2 are captured!" Serena said.
The heroes' celebration is short lived as Squishy and Z2 are captured by Rouki, plunging with sorrow.
Infernua
In the Infernua, a wounded Rouki has given the Pokéballs containing Squishy and Z2 to Los Dark.
"Well done, Rouki. You have caught Zygarde Cells." Los Dark said.
"Give me the last task of capturing the last Pokémon, master!" Rouki said.
"That's enough." Los Dark said.
"Why?" Rouki asked.
Los Dark then shoots the purple beam at Rouki, knocking him back to the wall.
"Los Dark, why did you attack me?!" Rouki asked.
"Because you were weak to defeat those heroes who have defeated you!" Los Dark said.
"But I'm stronger than those heroes! Give me the last task-AAAAHHH!" Rouki said before getting electrocuted by Los Dark.
"I will treat the slaves like that for those who not defeat the foes even though the task has been completed." Los Dark said.
"What kind of person are you, master?!" Rouki asked. "You have promised that-"
"What promise? Restoring your father? Never! I'm a person who betrays the slaves for no reason and I don't show any good emotion towards them. I'm a Daemon who despises the good emotions!" Los Dark said and he laughed maniacally. "Go now, you heartless, lonely, weak warrior!"
"You are... a bad person, Los Dark! You have betrayed me! You'll pay for that!" Rouki said, before leaving.
Pokémon World: Forest of Vermilion
Rouki teleported in and he was hurt, clenching his fists in anger.
"What have I done? Am I doing a mistake of making a deal with Daemons? Am I heartless, lonely, weak? How can I be such a fool?!" Rouki was ashamed for making a deal with Daemons, blaming himself and his eyes were filled with tears of depression then he screams in rage.
A lone wolf warrior walking in the forest.
"I'm not heartless, lonely and weak! I want my emotions back! I want to live with my family and friends! I want to become the same Ash again!" Rouki said and he decided to take a quest to redeem his emotions back.
