WARNING!: This chapter contains scenes of bloodshed. Reader discretion is advised!
Kanto: Team Rocket
In the Team Rocket base, The Pyoar man and his crew were discussing with Giovanni and Faiz.
"Here. To control the Pokemon, you need the Cyberizer." Faiz showed the tiny card like device. "Once it is latched onto Pokemon's head, it will be armored and enhances the attacks, thus they will be in our control even the almighty Arceus!"
"Good. We must enhance our forces with this device." Giovanni said.
"I must go back to the Nightbreak Town." The Pyroar man said.
"Why?" Giovanni asked.
"We, Team Flare, also want to enhance our weaponry and once we will capture that Arceus, our dream of recreating the world will be come true." The Malamar man said.
"I agree with Xerosic." The Drapion woman said.
"Okay, let's move!" The Pyroar man and his crew took out their Poke Data Keys from their orange and black belts, cancelling their transformations; These people were actually Lysandre, Xerosic, Aliana, Bryony, Celosia and Mable as they boarded on Team Flare helicopter and flew to Kalos.
Then, Dr. Namba came in and asks, "Giovanni, what's your plan?"
"Our plan..." Giovanni said and he shows the images of Ultra Beasts. "...Is to obtain the Ultra Beasts. Then, we will move to our ultimate plan: capturing Arceus."
Giovanni evilly smiled and he is ready for anything.
Kalos: Lumiouse City, Professor Sycamore's lab (Next day)
In the Professor Sycamore's lab, Alain is seeing the picture of younger him, his mom and dad.
Then, Mairin came in asks Alain, "Alain, what are you doing?"
"Just missing my parents. I wanted to meet them but..." Alain said. "They left me in the Laboratory since I was 12 years old."
"I see." Mairin said.
Then, the heroes: Ash, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie and Ben came in with the help of Hoopa.
"Hey, Alain. What's up?" Ben asked.
"Oh, you guys." Alain said. "Just uh.."
"Everybody, you have to see this!" Professor Sycamore called the heroes.
Then, he showed a map of the ruins of Nightbreak Town. "This is the Nightbreak Town."
"Nightbreak Town?" Ash asked.
"Nightbreak Town? Is that?" Alain asked and he knew that place before.
"Nightbreak Town is an abandoned place where the Nightbreak Town Accident took place. It is found in Kalosian Mountains." Professor Sycamore said.
"Nightbreak Town Accident was an incident that involved a massive explosion in a weapon factory caused by Nick Ivar and Madison Ivar, destroying the city on approximately 7 years before." Professor Sycamore said.
"Nick Ivar and Madison Ivar? Are they talking about my... parents?" Alain asked and questions Sycamore, "Excuse me, Professor? Are you talking about my parents?"
"Alain, what are you talking about? We are not talking about your parents who caused the-" Professor Sycamore said.
"You have muttered my parents' names!" Alain said.
"Alain, just calm down." Serena said.
"Shall we go and investigate, professor?" Clemont asked.
"Yeah. We will know about that who caused the Nighbreak Town Accident." Mairin said.
"But-" Professor Sycamore faltered.
"Let's go! Hoopa, make a hoop for Nighbreak Town!" Bonnie said.
"Okay, Bonniekan." Hoopa said and he created a hoop that leads to Nightbreak Town.
Ben, Ash, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, Alain, Hoopa and Mairin entered the Nightbreak Town before the hoop disappeared. Professor Sycamore was worried if Alain came to know about the truth.
Kalosian Mountains: Nightbreak Town
In the Nighbreak Town, the heroes were exploring the abandoned town.
No people lived this town for 7 years beacuse of the explosion that happened 7 years ago. Nightbreak is now a ghost town.
"Shit. This looks so rusty." Ben said.
"It's much like a ghost town." Mairin said.
"Don't mention about the ghosts, please?" Clemont said.
"Be brave. No ghosts here." Alain said.
Unbeknownst to the heroes, the Team Flare grunts, in their armored forms of Durants watched the heroes outside the factory.
The eight heroes enters the abandoned factory.
Then, they encounter the armored Durant people.
"Who are these guys?!" Ben asked.
"I don't know. Let's deal them!" Ash said. "Noivern, I choose you!" Ash sent out Noivern.
Serena, Clemont, Mairin and Alain sent out Delphox, Chesnought, Chespie and Metagross.
"Noivern, use Boom Burst!" Noivern's ears fired the sonic soundwaves at armored Durant people, pushing them back forcefully.
"Delphox, use Psychic!" Delphox unleashed the telekinetic force upon the armored Durant men and smacks them on the pipes.
"Chespie, use Pin Missle! Chesnaught use Vine whip!" Chespie's spines are stiffened before launching the green energy missiles on armored Durant people and Chesnaught's shoulder have sprouted the vines and lashes the armored Durant people.
"Metagross use Flash Cannon!" Metagross launches a metallic beam at the armored Durant men.
Ben tansforms into Heatblast then into Omni Kix Heatblast before launching the fire balls at the armored Durant people with his right arm cannon.
Thus, the armored Durant people were defeated.
Heatblast turns back into Ben and asks, "What are these people? Are they robots?"
Clemont checks the knocked out armored Durant man and sees the orange and black belt with a Durant Poke Data Key on his waits. "Look! A belt!"
"Belt of what?" Ash asked.
Clemont takes out a silver Poke Data Key, it labelled 'Armored Durant'. "That's... A Poke Data Key! It's a same item that Team Rocket had!"
The heroes didn't notice that armored Durant man got demorphed, revealing to be a Team Flare grunt.
"*gasp* Is that...?" Mairin gasped.
"Team Flare grunt?" Alain asked. "Why are they here?"
"Don't know. Let's keep moving! Perhaps we will dig through this mystery." Ash said and the heroes continued their exploration.
The heroes entered the hall of Team Flare.
"Whoa!" Ben said.
"No way!" Ash said.
"It can't be!" Clemont said.
"Wait a minute! This is... Team Flare's new base?!" Alain said in shock.
"Lysandre was killed since two years ago at the hands of Squishy and Z2." Bonnie said.
"I guess there must be Team Flare's new leader." Mairin said.
"I think so." Ash said.
Alain notices a pendrive labelled 'Nightbreak Town Accident' and said, "Guys! I've found a pendrive here. Maybe we can know about the ACTUAL Nightbreak Town Accident."
"Right. Start it now." Ash said and Alain puts the pendrive in the panel and the video is shown.
The video shown that Alain's parents, Nick and Madison were knelt before a Pyroar man.
"Mom... Dad?!" Alain asked in shock.
"Are these your mom and dad, Alain?" Mairin asked.
"Yes." Alain said.
The Pyroar man said in the video, "Give me your weapons!"
"Never!" Nick said.
"If you won't obey my command then..." Pyroar man said and he has a boy in his captivity. That boy was 12 year old Alain.
The heroes were shocked.
"Alain... it's you!" Ash said.
"Me?" Alain asked.
Madison cried in video, "Please don't kill my son!"
"Then give us the weapons!" The Malamar man said.
"Okay.." Nick reluctantly gives the weapons to the crew but, then he activated the button on the panel. It started beeping, signed a countdown of destruction. He starts laughing, "No chance of surviving!"
The countdown starts upto 45 minutes.
"What?! You traitor!" Pyroar man said and he attacks Nick with his Pyroar but he has sent out Charizard using Dragon Claw to knock Pyroar back. Then, it saves Alain.
"Mega Evolve!" Nick used his Mega Ring to Mega Evolve his Charizard into Mega Charizard Y.
"Madison, take my son to Lumiouse City and give to Professor Sycamore!" Nick said.
"But what about you, Nick?!" Madison asked.
"I'll deal with this!" Nick said.
Madison takes her young Alain and rides Nick's Mega Charizard Y, flying faster to Lumiouse City.
Nick was fighting with Pyroar man as the video is blurred and shutdown immediately.
Alain was in shock and mental breakdown.
"Your parents are..." Ash said in shock.
"NO!" Alain screamed in rage, sorrow and anger as he destroyed the computer with his Solar Sword and Shield.
Alain started to cry as the tears of sorrow. "Why?! Why?! Why, mom and dad?! WHY?!" Alain shouted.
The heroes were speechless to see Alain cried over his dead parents.
"*tsk tsk* Are you sad?" The male voice said.
"Who said that?!" Ash asked.
The hooded figures came in.
"Who the hell are you?!" Clemont asked.
"Don't you know me?" First figure asked and The six hooded figures removed their hoods, revealing to be Lysandre, Xerosic, Aliana, Bryony, Celosia and Mable.
The heroes were extremely shocked to see Lysandre and Team Flare were still alive.
"Lysandre?!" Alain asked.
"No way!" Serena said.
"It can't be!" Mairin said.
"Impossible!" Ash said.
"I thought Squishy and Z2 killed you!" Bonnie said.
"They did but, I survived." Lysandre said.
"How?!" Clemont asked.
"I used by jetpack to escape and they thought me I was dead." Lysandre said. "Anyway, I faked my death."
"So you've faked your death?" Alain asked as he stood up. "Why are you here?"
"I am in a job now. You brats are in the way of Team Flare for recreating the world by capturing Arceus!" Lysandre declared.
"Capturing Arceus? You're crazy!" Ash said.
"Nah. We are not. Shall I show my wrath for the ones who foil my dream?" Lysandre took out an orange belt and a red and yellow Pyroar Poke Data Key.
Clemont saw a Poke Data Key in Lysandre's grasp. "That's...!"
FLARE RISER!
Lysandre wore the Flare Riser on his waist and presses the Pyroar Poke Data Key.
FIERY MANE!
"Henshin!" Lysandre inserts the Pyroar key in Flare Riser then a robotic Pyroar came out of the belt and wrapped around him and started transforming.
Lysandre gained the dark brown spandex undersuit and armored with light brownish coloured armor with black straps in his arms and legs and finally, he gained the Pyroar shaped helmet with yellow bug eyed visors and transformation is completed.
FLARE RISE! Burning Pyroar! BURN DOWN!
The heroes were shocked to see Lysandre transformed.
"Lysandre transformed?!" Clemont asked.
Alain looks at transformed Lysandre and he recognized that he is the Pyroar man who caused the accident 7 years ago.
"You...!" Alain angrily clenched his fists. "You are the same bastard who murdered my parents!"
"Yes. Because they defiled the will of Team Flare." Lysandre said.
"I will burn you guys down into ashes!" Alain said and he sent out Urshifu before using Burst to combine with it.
Alain's body turned grey and became furry on his entire body, he gained the karate dress, his fur on his knees are down, his feet and hands are white and clawed and finally, he gained the black and white headband.
"YOU MURDERED MY PARENTS!" Alain was in full rage and rushes to punch Lysandre. "SURGING STRIKES!"
Alain punches Lysandre rapidly with his aquatic punches and kicks.
"POWERFUL AQUA KARATE ARTS!" Alain then throws Lysandre in the air before he delivered swift aquatic moves against Lysandre with full rage.
Lysandre however wasn't feel pain at all.
"Humanity shall be punished who defy Team Flare's will..." Lysandre said, taking out the Weaponizer Gun and inserts Woobat Poke Data Key in it.
ULTRASONIC! WOOBAT'S ABILITY! SOUND WAVING CASED SHOOT!

The three flaming rings formed in front of Alain then Lysandre rushes through these rings before striking him with his fiery claws, causing an explosion.

"ALAIN!" Mairin screamed.
"Oh no!" Serena said
"Alain!" Ash shouted.
Alain was bloodied as he was separated from his Urshifu who also got badly beaten. These two are knocked out badly.
"You bastard!" Ben said.
"Behave or I'll attack you immediately." Lysandre sent out Pyroar and Shiny Gyarados. Team Flare sent out their Pokemon.
"Listen my warning. Tomorrow, is the revolution of Team Flare and Team Rocket. We will have the almighty Arceus to obtain Legendary Pokemon and recreate this dirty world into a 'beautiful world.' Remember that!" Lysandre said and the Team Flare disappears via smokescreen bombs.
"Dammit! They're gone!" Ben said.
The heroes ran to injured Alain.
"Alain! Wake up!" Mairin tried to wake up but to no avail.
"He has so many wounds! We must send him to Lumiouse City hospital otherwise his injures will be life taking!" Clemont said.
The heroes takes bloodied bodies of Alain and Urshifu to the Lumiouse City Hospital.
Alola: Aether Paradise
In the Aether Paradise, it is in under attack by Team Rocket.
The Ultra Guardians (Kiawe, Lana, Mallow, Lillie, Sophocles, Gladion, Lusamine, Mohn and Hau) had their Pokemon to counter Giovanni, in his Mewtwo armored form.
Giovanni however, uses the psychic abilities to push them back forcefully to the walls. Then, the boss of Team Rocket goes to the Ultra Gate.
Then, Faba defends the Ultra Gate.
"Don't touch my invention!" Faba warned.
"Ha! As if!" Giovanni uses his psychic abilities to push Faba aside and then he presses the button, opening the Ultra Wormholes that opened out Ultra Beasts.
Team Rocket without any second threw the Cyberizers on the heads of Ultra Beasts, getting under their influence.
"Ultra Beasts, bow to the might of Team Rocket!" Giovanni declared as the Ultra Beasts bowed before him.
"What are you doing with the Ultra Beasts?!" Faba asked.
"I'll use them to conquer the world using these mighty beasts. And hear my oath: Steal Pokémon for profit. Exploit Pokémon for profit. All Pokémon exist for the glory of Team Rocket! This Aether Paradise is now under the Team Rocket's influence!" Giovanni declared and the Team Rocket has gathered the cyberized Pokemon.
Then, the Team Rocket conquered the Aether Paradise, thowing the every crew Aether and Ultra Guardian out of place.
"Dang it! We got thrown away out of Aether Paradise!" Mallow said.
"Don't worry. We must think about something!" Kiawe said.
"Professor Kukui! Launch the Ultra Jet!" Mohn contacted Kukui to launch the Ultra Jet as they boarded on it and they flew back to Pokemon School.
Kalos: Lumiouse City, Hospital
In Lumiouse City Hospital, the heroes takes injured Alain and Urshifu to the treatment room.
"Don't worry, Alain. We will save you!" Ash said.

Follow, Favourite, Read and Review
A/N: This is the second time I am writing Alain focussed chapters 88 & 89 Isle of Adventure parts 1 and 2. Plus, this is the beginning of the Arceus Arc.
My comments about Alain:
Alain is one of my favourite characters in Pokemon rivals' list. He's badass because of Mega Charizard X as well as his character/personality.
Yep. It is true that I've brought Team Flare back. That's one of my favourite villain teams of Pokemon. Why not bringing the most dangerous villain teams like Team Flare and Team Rocket?
Next chapter 136: Rockets and Flares coming soon!
