"Sarah and Blitz were battling Tapu Koko when they, Silvally, Zeraora, Star, Zorua, Nebby, Poipole, and Nebula were sent flying by means of an overwhelming yet mysterious discharge through the Time/Space Continuum to a mysterious town in ruins in an apocalyptic world. There, they encountered the 7th and most dangerous member of the Ultra Pillars, Guzzlord, who would devour anything and everything in his path in the midst of his neverending hunger. They also crossed paths with Dia, his Zeraora, and the Shiny Legendary Beasts of Johto who arrived in the nick of time to save them and vowed to defeat Guzzlord and restore their world to its former glory."

"Wait, Dia?" asked the princess, stopping everyone in their tracks.

"Yes, what is it?" he replied.

"Your hideout, My family and I, we know this place..."

"Poi, Poi-Poipole, Poi?!" gasped Poipole, finally recognizing it as the Pokemon School.

"Wait! Is Strongman's old shack really the Pokemon School?!" gawked Silvally.

"It can't be!"

"But, it is!" spluttered Nebby and Nebula.

"Pika...?" questioned a shocked Blitz.

"It is, it's our school!" breathed Star, reeling from what she and her family saw before them.

"Wow, that definitely looks like the Pokemon School back in our world," nodded Zorua, looking flabbergasted.

"Zer, Zera, Zera," agreed Sarah's Zeraora, thunderstruck (metaphorically speaking, of course) by the sight of the Pokemon School.

"Pi, Pi, Pi-Pikachu," stuttered Blitz in disbelief and shock.

Rushing past their allies, Sarah and her family, save for Nebby and Nebula, rushed over to the school and saw the full scale of the devastation that it went through. The place looked to be intact, mostly, but it was completely abandoned and out of the way which made it a perfect hideout for Dia, his Zeraora, and the Shiny Legendary Beasts. The walls had some holes of various sizes in them and a large hole on the roof. Everywhere around the school and what looked to be her classroom was a mess.

As they looked around at the devastation with Dia, his Zeraora, Suicune, Raikou, and Entei joining them to keep an eye on them, the little princess came across several ruined pictures and stepped on one of them before picking it up and seeing the photos in the frames.

Each of them had dust and grime on them but the images still being presented are clear as day to her and her family along with a group photo of what looked to be seven kids with a man who was their teacher told the tale. The place they were in is definitely the Pokemon School; once a building of peace and happiness for humans and Pokemon, now in ruins and on the verge of destruction in Guzzlord's rampage and the only safe haven left for their saviors.

"It really is... I see it but I don't believe it, how did it all come to this?" Sarah stuttered, completely heartbroken as Dia joined her and her equally-devastated Pokemon. "Now, though, seeing it in this world, it's broken and like a ghost town. My school, completely destroyed..."

"You sure?" asked Dia curiously.

"Yes, my family and I... We were heading there yesterday to meet with my friends in my world when Tapu Koko called us over and brought us here," nodded Sarah.

This got Dia thinking for a moment and then he spoke something that threw his new acquaintances in for a loop, "You're all from a parallel world?"

"...A parallel world?" gasped Sarah in confusion and disbelief, her family along with her Zeraora and Zorua feeling speechless.

(Amidst the Pokémon Titles, our heroes immediately spring into action on their Alola adventures as the episode titles for the latest chapter of the story appear as the opening song begins)

Full power, full throttle!

(As the theme song finally reaches its end, Sarah, her friends, and their Pokémon partners that joined them throughout the opening finished their dance before they charged into parts unknown as the next series of their Alolan adventures kicks into overdrive)

Pokémon Alola Journey Pt.3 – Dawn of Destiny

To help Sarah and her family understand what Parallel Worlds are, he drew two lines with circles attached to them and each other as a reference for what he was about to teach the group.

"Parallel Worlds; think of them like this, the road splits into a fork. This way, the top circle, is A and this way, the bottom circle, is B. You may want to travel both but you can't take both paths at the same time but let's say you were able to," he began carefully and to the best of his knowledge. "Those would be parallel worlds, two worlds that are different from each other but the second world adjacent to the first would be almost completely identical in any way."

"The road can fork again and yet again in accordance to a change of events in the main pathway along the Time/Space Continuum and with each fork, a new Parallel World exists. You and I live in two different worlds but some sort of 'accident' occurred and caused you and your family to end up in my world by mistake or some other reason we don't know about."

"Do you know what seemed to cause the accident that flung us here?" asked Sarah curiously, trying to get the full picture.

As they spoke, Dia's Zeraora went to the top of the old school to keep a better lookout with Nebula tagging along to help him out while the Shiny Legendary Beasts joined by Nebby to give them additional help to which Suicune approved despite her brothers' continued skepticism.

"It must've been a very powerful accident that allowed your presence in my world to be possible. But, from what you told me, Sarah, this electrical sphere that occurred when you and Blitz battled Tapu Koko in your world may have something to do with that very cause."

"That's good and all but, you mind filling us in on what happened to your world, Mr. D?" quipped Zorua. "I mean, besides that walking lump of an eating machine, what could've happened that caused all of this destruction that caused Guzzlord to appear in the first place? You know, human follies and such?"

"Well, I suppose humans are responsible in a way for bringing him to our world but here's what I remember from when I last made contact with my commander when my team and I eventually got a full analysis into the cause behind all of this," continued Dia, having another idea on the reason behind Guzzlord's appearance.

"Ten years ago, someone bought up most of the land here and performed a reckless and dangerous experient that once turned this lush and fertile tropical island into dust and sand. The surrounding forests, water, and even the air became heavily polluted which slowly started to make it inhabitable. And then, there came the faithful day Guzzlord crossed over from the Ultra Dimension. If you make a mistake along that path, the Parallel World where you came from, may eventually end up meeting the same tragic and unfortunate fate as mine."

"You mean if I'm not careful and make a life-changing mistake in my world, then..." gasped Sarah in horror, now completely speechless.

Dia just nodded grimly; not only that, but Sarah now knows fully well that whatever actions she takes to protect her world and the Ultra Pillars crossing over to it by accident and defeat Team Eclipse could have radical consequences that could result in the salvation of other worlds or their imminent destruction.

This gave her no sense of comfort as she realized what she and her family are in for with this new knowledge; if she and her friends back in their homeworld aren't careful and do whatever they can to end Lothor and his syndicate and save Necrozma, it could end up exactly like Dia's world.

Later, after the insightful and grim lecture about Parallel Worlds, Sarah and her family regrouped at the river going along the school grounds as they thought about what Dia had told them.

Sarah tossed a rock into the river with a sorrowful sigh, thinking about her friends and the rest of her family and how devastated they must be to find out she somehow disappeared on them yesterday.

"Homesick?" asked Dia softly, joining her at the river and the lake while Poipole and Suicune came over and nuzzled her, sensing her worry and how homesick she is.

The little princess just nodded with a sigh; she didn't need to say anything, she knew exactly what Dia meant and her worries for her family and friends back in their homeworld. It also didn't help that with her friends now one ranger down the longer she and her current Pokemon are stuck in Dia's world, it could present Lothor with a clear-cut opportune moment to get the drop on them and be ready to strike another one of the Ultra Pillars down without her interfering.

"You want anything to eat? You must be starving," continued the former Power Ranger, getting another nod from Sarah.

Starting up a small campfire and with some food rations he and his Pokemon friends scavenged amongst the wreckage left in Guzzlord's wake, Dia cooked some fresh baked beans served on a plate for Sarah and he prepared some emergency rations for her family and the Legendary Beasts as well.

"Thank you," she told him kindly, taking the plate as they all ate their dinner.

As they ate, however, she noticed Zeraora still being on the lookout for Guzzlord from his original post on the roof as he kept his distance. Sarah knew that seeing them battle together, he and Dia are considered lone wolves along with the Shiny Legendary Beasts in their war against the 7th Ultra Pillar but she felt it was wrong in a sense for him to shut himself out in a way.

"Hey! Zeraora, come on down! Aren't you hungry, you can't fight Guzzlord again on an empty stomach!" she persuaded, hoping to have him join her and the others only for him to turn away and pass up on her offer.

"Zeraora likes being alone," Dia replied, trying to soften the unintentional blow she was given.

"Oh, I get it. He's still a wild Pokemon like Suicune, Entei, and Raikou, right?" Sarah gasped, realizing that he didn't catch them once.

"Right, I haven't caught any of them."

"You haven't?"

"Nope, he's accepted me as a friend but he's not officially my partner and neither are the Legendary Beasts even though they've accepted me as well. So, in a way, I've no idea what's going on inside their heads. Our mutual desire to send Guzzlord back to where it came from and to avenge all the people and Pokemon that have died or were forced to leave because of him, it was that shared desire of ours that brought us together in the first place..."

As he spoke, Dia began to recall the time when he and his Zeraora first met and became friends as well as unofficial partners.

(Flashback)

In a previous battle against Guzzlord, he managed to capture him using an Electroweb through a device of some kind that allowed him to use it against him and prepared to launch a giant steel girder in a massive slingshot at him, hoping to propel the deadly Ultra Pillar back into the Ultra Dimension through the Ultra Wormhole behind him.

"This is the end for you, Guzzlord! Go back through the Ultra Wormhole and never come back, ever again!" he declared, launching the girder.

But, to his shock, Guzzlord broke through the Electroweb and blocked the girder, essentially making his plan a failure.

"What?!" he exclaimed in shock and disbelief.

Now freed from his prison and with Dia having lost his current means to force Guzzlord back through the Ultra Wormhole, the Dragon of Gluttony was ready to finish him off without mercy. The former Power Rangers Beast Defenders leader braced himself for the kill but then, the wild Zeraora appeared in the nick of time before using Plasma Fists to knock him away from Dia before he came to his side.

Dia couldn't believe what he saw; the legendary Mythical Pokemon of Alola, known to one and all as the Thunderclap Wanderer, Zeraora, had come to rescue him when he was about to die and formed a bond with him through their desire to avenge everyone lost and that was forced to evacuate and bring down Guzzlord.

(End Flashback)

"Eventually, from then on, we were battling him together like a true team but I never bothered to catch him. I never thought it would mean anything," he finished as he built up the little campfire and the group finished their dinner. "But, that battle with Guzzlord when he protected me, he revealed something to me that could be used to our advantage."

"An advantage against Guzzlord, what did he show you?" asked Sarah, now curious as to how they could beat the Dragon of Gluttony.

"Guzzlord has a weak spot that we can exploit: that second face above his huge mouth. If we can hit him hard using Plasma Fists to push him into an Ultra Wormhole opened at the right time and the right place, at least, that's what we thought."

"Then, how did you go about it when you both made that plan?"

"...We couldn't get past his powerful defenses," Dia continued again, remembering the many times he and his Zeraora tried and failed to push Guzzlord back through an Ultra Wormhole to the Ultra Dimension as they were forced back to Square 1 on account of Guzzlord's power.

"I see, but what about Raikou, Suicune, and Entei? What's your history with them?"

"It's a touchy subject and one that still haunts me to this day but I suppose it is best that I finally tell you. The only ones I've trusted with this are Zeraora and the Beasts themselves so you must promise to never tell anybody what I'm about to tell you."

"I'm up for it and I won't tell anybody. Scout's honor, so what's the sitch?"

"...It was during one of our first battles against Guzzlord and we were forced to retreat a third time when our plan backfired as usual. I believed they sensed Guzzlord's presence and they came to help us," recalled Dia, remembering the incident that left the Shiny Legendary Beasts with them and the memory of two people he was once close with that gave themselves up to protect them and lent them Entei, Suicune, and Raikou's combined power to end Guzzlord for good.

(Flashback)

"But, little did I know that not only did they sense his presence when he crossed over from the Ultra Dimension and recognized the threat he possesses, but they were only able to come through two people who were amongst my closest friends and who sacrificed themselves to give us a leg up in our ongoing war."

In the midst of the ongoing chaos and the final hours of the continued evacuation of the Alola Region following Guzzlord's arrival from the Ultra Dimension, Suicune, Entei, and Raikou were making their way to the Alola Region to help stop his rampage and bring peace back to Alola and the world. But, in getting there, they were called upon by two people whom Dia was once close to and trusted with his life when they were once part of the organization that started its own Power Rangers program.

"A little while later, it's been estimated by the Beast Defenders Rangers' squadrons that about 37% of the Alola Region has already fallen to Guzzlord and his hungry wrath since he crossed over. But, it's not over, not yet!" called a 25-year-old young man from a computer system connected through a wireless system from his laptop and microphone hacked to whatever systems still functioning on the island while a 22-year-old young woman watched the region from their boat diligently with the Legendary Beasts beside her as they drew closer.

"To any and all survivors left, if you can hear me and my sister's voices at any time, please go now to the remaining boats, airplanes, and helicopters bound for Unova, Hoenn, Sinnoh, the Orange Archipelago, Kanto, Galar, Kalos, and Johto at Hau'Oli City Marina, Seafolk Village, Malie City, Melemele Sea, Hano Beach, Pokemon Paradise Resort, and Konikoni City! They're the only places where you can be safe and hopefully, Guzzlord won't follow you all! But, you have to make it to any surviving ports where any ships and aircraft standing by will be waiting to take you to safety before he comes knocking on you! Please, hurry!"

Whatever survivors there are left in the region caught onto the man's frantic message and quickly made their way to the boats and aircraft in whatever surviving ports and areas for hoping to get away from Guzzlord as fast as possible. In the meantime, that left the two people, the Legendary Beasts, Dia, and Zeraora in the region but not without a few remaining stragglers from the company and person Dia alluded to Sarah previously hoping to stop them as they remained on the island and got in the way.

"Sorry, you two," sneered a middle-aged man in a black business suit with a large Grimmsnarl beside him. "Since you don't know how to fight, give us those Legendary Pokemon you called to help and the flash drive detailing our master's plans after his acquisition of much of Alola's land. It's for your own good as well as everyone else's."

"Sorry, kids, nobody must know that our company and master were responsible for bringing Guzzlord here," scoffed a middle-aged woman in a tan business suit with a Pokemon partner in the form of a large Trevenaut. "Since you found out what happened 10 years ago, we have no choice but to kill you and destroy the evidence you have if we're to survive."

"You fools! Don't you understand that we need all the help we can get and the gravity of you and your master's sins?!" snarled the young man towards the opposing pair team as he felt one of his pockets and beheld a small lump on his right pocket containing a small computer 32-GB flash drive. "Everything thing we have here is vital to the salvation of the region and our world!"

"Hear, hear! These Legendary Beasts, our new friends, are our friend's only hope of finding a way to end our war against Guzzlord!" nodded the young woman fiercely as Raikou, Entei, Suicune growled furiously at two of the people responsible for the impending destruction of the world. "And, the evidence we have on that flash drive's our only chance of getting the truth out because of you, we have to get it to Dia!"

"I'm sorry, kids!" snarled the man, losing his patience as he pulled up a gun along with his partner as their Pokemon prepared to kill them.

The younger pair team looked at each other and gave a sly smirk and wink to each other; if they were going to get to Dia or die trying, they weren't going down without a fight.

"If you want them from us that badly, you'll have to take 'em from us," dared the young man with a smirk.

"Grrrrr... All right, play time's over! Trevenaut, KILL THEM!" By the older man's order, the Trevenaut fired Leaf Storm at the quintet before them.

But, just as it launched its Grass Type attack, Suicune used Mirror Coat to block the oncoming move and send it back towards their enemies at twice the power, blowing them back and supposedly ending them which gave the small group a chance to escape.

It wasn't easy for them to get to Dia after their near-miss with their enemies and a few other stragglers from the same company the previous pair team they faced were in also refused to evacuate and tried to stop them in their tracks. But, because of the young man and woman's cunning and the Shiny Legendary Beasts' power, they and their own Pokemon were all wiped out and the heroes continued on their way.

Finally, after dealing with the last of their remaining enemies, they finally came across Dia and Zeraora being forced to retreat after another plan of theirs to beat Guzzlord involving Zeraora's Plasma Fists had bombed.

Guzzlord was hot on their tail as they soon braced themselves to be eaten alive but the heroes arrived in the nick of time with Suicune, Raikou, and Entei using Flamethrower, Aurora Beam, and Thunderbolt at full power to force the monstrous Ultra Pillar back as it stumbled and fell. This stunned Dia and his new friend before they looked back and saw the two humans with the three beasts coming towards them, both of them relieved.

"Clark, Lois!" gasped Dia, seeing the two humans approach him and Zeraora. "I'm glad we're friends."

"Yeah, so are we!"

"You definitely would've done the same for us if we're in your shoes right now," joked the two humans, now known as Clark and Lois, before the young woman continued as they looked towards Guzzlord and the Legendary Beasts fighting him. "We managed to find help and they'll prove to be invaluable to you finding a way to stop Guzzlord and save this world."

"Are those the Legendary Beasts from Johto that I've heard about so many times?" breathed Dia in awe.

"That's them, and I can tell you've made a new friend and with the Legendary Zeraora, too. Good on you," smiled Clark, noticing Zeraora and giving him a nod, the wild Thunderclap Pokemon only giving him a short one with a blank face.

But, Clark soon remembered the flash drive containing evidence on the origins of Guzzlord's appearance and quickly handed it to Dia, "Here, this is evidence we've uncovered pertaining to how Guzzlord was able to cross over. Took a bit of hacking to figure out what that crazy head cheese had going on when he bought up all that land but we did it."

Dia was surprised when he saw the flash drive but smiled as he took it in his hands and looked at both of them proudly, "I knew we could count on you two for anything computer-related."

Clark and Lois nodded happily before they and their Pokemon friends all heard Guzzlord roaring angrily and facing them down, which got them glaring and forcing the two humans to bring out their Midday Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper to help take down the 7th Ultra Pillar.

"So, what's the sitch with this dude? Got any luck dealing with him yet?"

"No, even while using Zeraora's Plasma Fists to force him back into the Ultra Wormhole, we can't hit his second face with all of his defenses up."

"Well, Clark and I got you covered along with Suicune and her brothers. We'll provide you with an opening and when we have him cornered and as an Ultra Wormhole finally opens up, we'll-AH!" Lois soon stopped when she saw two red beams pointed at Dia.

The two friends looked back and saw the man and woman from before but without their Pokemon partners and looking extremely beaten and disheveled pointing their guns at Dia and Zeraora, hoping to kill them and force Lois and Clark to give them the flash drive containing the evidence of their superior's actions and the ramifications that came from them.

Guzzlord continued to brawl with Suicune, Entei, and Raikou as the Aurora Pokemon and Thunder Pokemon fired Aurora Beam and Discharge to counter his next move, Dragon Pulse, while Entei unleashed a full-powered Fire Blast on him to his second face, causing him to scream in pain. The three Legendaries were caught up in their battle after forcing Guzzlord back, they didn't feel the older man and woman's presence in time before they heard their human allies scream to Dia.

"Dia, no!"

"Look out!" they shouted, immediately pushing him and Zeraora out of the way and taking both shots meant for them.

But, as a result of taking the bullets fired for their best friend and the Thunderclap Pokemon, they ended up being shot at their hearts and they let out pained screams which caught Dia, Zeraora, Suicune, Entei, Raikou, Lycanroc, the young Beautifly, and Seviper's attention and they gasped in shock and horror from seeing the two fall.

"NOOOOO!" bellowed Dia in agony and horror, reaching his dying friends. "CLARK, LOIS!"

"LYCAN!"

"BEAU!"

"VIPER, SEVIPER!" screamed Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper, devastated as tears of agony flowed down from their eyes as they tried to stop the bleeding.

The Shiny Legendary Beasts were shocked and horrified by what they had witnessed; the two humans who did everything in whatever power they had before to call out for help and summon them, as a result, were shot to death by cruel humans who cared for nothing but power and greed. This left them and their allies' partners glaring at the two humans and barring their teeth dangerous at them, all of them unable to control their rage.

"As we told you earlier, nobody must know that our master and his company are responsible for Guzzlord crossing over and those who knew about his and our involvement in this folly of ours and hand over any evidence pertaining to his mistakes must die!" barked the man as he and the woman prepared to fire again and their two mortally wounded but still alive Pokemon partners emerged and prepared to kill everyone.

"LY LYCAN, LY LYCANROC!" howled Clark's Lycanroc furiously as he used Stone Edge to clobber Grimmsnarl and Trevenaut and knock them back to their own human partners, his tears unable to stop flowing as his rage and agony took him over.

"BEAU... BEAU BEAUTIFLY!" bellowed the furious young Beautifly, channeling his trainer's love and her hatred and rage for the ones who killed him into a powerful Twister that nearly blew them away but forced the older man and woman to let go of the guns and lose them.

But, Beautifly wasn't done for after she disposed of the guns, she unleashed a strong Electroweb and trapped their enemies who were responsible for ripping their human partner away from her and Lycanroc.

"Seviper, Se, Sevip, Viper, Viper, Seviper, Vip, Sevip, Seviper!" hissed Lois' Seviper as he used a combo attack using Iron Tail and Dragon Tail together and struck at their foes while breaking the Electroweb and shocking them, channeling his hatred and rage as well as his own sorrow for the loss of his human partner into it. "Sevip, Seviper!"

Seeing Clark and Lois' Pokemon doing what they must to serve justice for the deaths of their loved ones and with Guzzlord once again knocked over for a short period of time, the Shiny Legendary Beasts nodded to each other to assist in the final blow to avenge their fallen allies. They were the ones who brought them to Alola to help their struggling friend and Zeraora; now it was time for Suicune, Raikou, and Entei to take revenge in the name of Lois, Clark, and all their Pokemon for everyone's last hope.

The older man and woman, along with their equally disheveled and battered Pokemon, got up from Seviper, Beautifly, and Lycanroc's merciless rage-filled assault after they were given no chance to fight back and suddenly found themselves face to face with an extremely pissed off trio of Legendary Beasts.

This got the evil quartet frightened now and they ended up cowering before the Shiny Johto Legendaries as they growled at them, telling the four that they'll personally make sure the evildoers see living hell for what they've done to their two human allies.

"N-n-n-now, wait a minute! This is all just a misunderstanding!" panicked the man, trying to pacify the Legendary Beasts as they stalked closer and more dangerously to them. "Let's talk about this, okay?!"

"Please wait! We're sorry, we'll do anything! We'll provide you with all the help you want!" agreed the older woman, stumbling back in her panic.

But, it was no use; they and their two Pokemon (who are also begging for forgiveness from the Legendary Beasts) had already labeled themselves as enemies to whatever good humans and Pokemon are left in the region and the world right now. Entei, Raikou, and Suicune saw no point in sparing them when they already had blood on their hands after killing Clark and Lois; the two enemies and their Pokemon had already signed their death warrants.

The only answer they gave them was a merciless and fully-powered Extreme Speed group attack that sent the evildoers flying and to die a painful death in isolation for their horrible sin. With the bad guys now dead, the Shiny Legendary Beasts regrouped with Dia, Zeraora, Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper, all of them trying to stop Clark and Lois' bleeding but to no avail.

"Clark, Lois," Dia stuttered.

"Dia, don't give us that look. It doesn't suit you at all, we're only sorry we couldn't do more to give you a hand when you needed us the most," smiled Clark, preparing to die as he held his friend's hand holding the flash drive.

"Besides, I'm glad that our computer hacking and such that we got, thanks to being part of the Power Rangers Beast Defenders on the sidelines, finally came in handy for something big like this and that we had something real to fight for."

"I agree," gasped Lois with a smile as she also prepared to die while Seviper nuzzled her as he cried. "Don't mourn for us, Dia. We had to do it, you, Zeraora, and the Legendary Beasts are our final hope. The fate of our world and our home rests with you all..."

Clark coughed a little as he chuckled, "Even so, we wouldn't mind living again if we had a choice. Maybe then, we would've lived longer to do the things we've been doing in our childhood. To go back to those times of happiness, times when we didn't know pain, sorrow, suffering, and learning to hate... Or maybe, we would've helped you keep fighting..."

Suicune cooed mournfully as Entei and Raikou bowed their heads apologetically, feeling that they were responsible for letting them die behind their backs while they were dealing with Guzzlord.

"Hey, what's with those looks? It's not like you to cry like big babies," chuckled Clark again. "We're just glad to get you here to help our friend save the world as you've always done. But, at least he won't be alone to do it anymore..."

Lois slowly nodded as she shared a sympathetic smile, "There was nothing you could've done. Our primary target is Guzzlord and it'll be up to you all to finish him off and let everybody know we've done our duty..."

The two dying humans turned to Dia with one final message for him to get, knowing that he's the only hope their world has to ensure eternal peace once Guzzlord is taken care of.

"Dia, don't look back. Fight on but never be afraid to ask for help when you really need it," Clark finished as he took his final breaths and they held his hand holding their flash drive. "When you do finally beat Guzzlord, show what we found to everyone and let them know what happened."

"Never give up, old friend..." smiled Lois, slowly raising her hand up one last time to wipe a stray tear off his face before they stopped breathing, their hands laying limp with their cold, dead bodies.

This broke Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper as they couldn't hold back their sobs any longer, all three of them crying their hearts out and begging for their dead friends to come back to them. Their pleas, unfortunately, went unanswered; Clark and Lois were dead and gone forever.

Dia, heartbroken by the loss of his two friends, sobbed quietly for a minute as he held the flash drive of the evidence of Guzzlord's arrival origins and tried to control his anger and agony. Then, grunting and shaking his head, he wiped his tears and looked determinedly at his fallen comrades and best friends. "Clark, Lois, I won't fail you again," he vowed, eying the flash drive before pocketing it away, his promise to them made clear.

His Zeraora nodded in agreement when he heard this; he may not have known them for long but he wasn't going to stand by and let their sacrifice to save him and Dia from death be in vain.

The former ranger then turned to the Shiny Legendary Beasts as they eyed each other, knowing what they all must do in honor of his fallen friends. "Suicune, Raikou, Entei, my friends brought you here to the Alola Region to help me and Zeraora defeat Guzzlord, right? If you really want to help us fight, then we must do so in honor of Lois and Clark," he said to them.

"They risked their lives to get you to us after you answered their calls for help and I want to honor them the only way I know. Please, lend me your power and together, we'll avenge my friends, our comrades, defeat Guzzlord, and bring back peace to this world!"

The three Shiny Legendaries all nodded, agreeing to help the two. With that, they joined forces and taking the orphaned Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper under their wing while retreating to safety, their long war against Guzzlord truly began.

(End Flashback)

"We've been fighting alongside each other ever since and we've never looked back, using my friends' sacrifice to motivate us to continue our goal and bring peace back to this world no matter what it takes," finished Dia, leaving Sarah and her family awestruck and horrified by what he, his Zeraora, and the Legendary Beasts had to go through.

To say their otherworldly allies and friends were all horrorstruck and traumatized by seeing Clark and Lois die as they did just to push them one step further in saving the world would be an understatement, especially since a lot is now riding on their shoulders.

"...Dia, I-I'm s-I'm sorry, I... I had no idea," began Sarah, not knowing what to say.

"God, must've been hell for you to lose them like that," breathed Silvally, stunned as Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper (who joined them when Dia began telling the story) cried with tears of agony flowing down their faces again as the day they lost their human partners flooded their minds.

"Man, dude, that's harsh," nodded Zorua, she and Zeraora now feeling sympathetic for the group.

"Did you figure out what the evidence they've given you was?" questioned Star as Dia took the flash drive out and looked at it.

"No, I couldn't figure out what they left for me. Whatever technology and computers there could be left in the region might've already been destroyed and even if the power plant did survive, nobody would dare come back and run it again for fear of attracting Guzzlord's attention. But, I did promise them that I would defeat Guzzlord and show everyone the truth behind Guzzlord's appearance and I don't intend on breaking it, ever..."

Sarah just nodded; she now admired Dia for his determination to take back his world and avenge his long-lost friends but then she thought back to Guzzlord and his only weakness, taking a look at her Z-Power Ring holding its Draconium Z.

"Have you guys ever thought about using a Z-Move to beat Guzzlord, Dia?"

"This world once had the use of Z-Moves just as yours did but then, all of this happened before you arrived. After nature was destroyed by the landlord in the past ten years since it was bought which accelerated its destruction, especially after this world's Tapu Koko vanished, we could no longer use Z-Moves no matter how much we wanted to," he replied bitterly, taking his Z-Ring out of his bag and staring at it with narrowed eyes before he gave an amused scoff.

This left Sarah more worried than ever for Dia as he continued, "That was why you failed to activate your Z-Ring prior to our meeting. We were abandoned by all of Alola's guardians eventually when the rest of the region finally fell before Guzzlord and his power. But, you can relax; even without the assistance of the Island Guardians and despite me having yet to fulfill Clark and Lois' last wish, there's no way I'm ever going to give up..."

Sarah was once again left in awe over what she and her family heard; this world lost its ray of hope when Guzzlord invaded and laid the world to waste, all because of the actions of one single black-hearted person and the consequences that followed such foolhardiness. Because of everything that happened to him and his friends, Dia had to constantly steel himself and renew his vow and determination to protect the world, end Guzzlord, and avenge his lost friends with the help of Zeraora and the Legendary Beasts.

Poipole was also left in awe over everything she heard and of Dia's determination along with his promise to Clark and Lois. Then, with a determined glare on her face, she made up her mind as she picked up one of the empty bean cans and threw it in the air.

"Poi...POLE!" she screeched, using her Peck attack to strike the can.

"Poi!" she cheered before she caught the can and went at it again with Peck.

Her workout caught everyone's attention as they all witnessed her training to become stronger to help Dia and his surviving friends stop Guzzlord.

"Hey! Poipole, what are you doing?" called Sarah.

"Poipole-Poi, Poi, Poi, Poipole? Poi, Poi, Poipole, Poipole, Poi, Poi!" called the tiny Ultra Beast determinedly, not breaking from her training as she used Peck on the can over and over again.

"Training, you're actually training?"

Poipole gave a determined nod as she held the can and continued before carrying on with her training, "Poi, Pole-Pole, Poi, Poi! Poipole, Poipole, Poi, Poi, Poi, Poi-Poipole, Poi!"

"Are you saying you want to fight Guzzlord? You're not going to run away anymore for everyone's sake?"

"Poipole, Poi!" nodded Poipole.

"Pika, Pika?!" cried Blitz, flabbergasted.

"Whoa-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-whoa! Wait a minute, back up!" spluttered Zorua in shock. "Are you seriously thinking about going after that world-eating phantom menace and giving us and the cool dude one last chance to finish off Guzzlord?!"

"For once, I have to agree, Ms. Royals," agreed Silvally reluctantly. "You saw how he pwned Nebby and Nebula, the kids couldn't put a scratch on him and he just took them out so easily. He's already taken out an entire team of rangers and he's ravaged the entire Alola Region in this world after ten years of decline because of a stupid human pulling a damn idiotic move! All of which and more he did, may I add, without even breaking a sweat!"

"Poi, Poipole, Poi-Poi-Poipole?" Poipole asked incredulously, deadpanning at them as she mentioned Eternatus.

"What about him?" Zorua asked, confused.

"Are you serious?! Are you really comparing him to Ol' Hunger King? Eternatus is a giant compared to that creep and second, unlike the big guy, HE ALREADY DESTROYED THIS DAMN WORLD BY EATING!"

Poipole didn't care as she then told Silvally (with Nebby and Nebula translating) that despite Eternatus and Guzzlord causing mass destruction and having faced them on the risk of death, we still faced them. And, her mother always told her that there is no courage without fear and one overcomes fear by facing it head-on.

She then went on to say that she experienced it firsthand when she saw her new family and their friends facing Melania and Katzenberg during their first Power Rangers mission which involved saving Buzzwole. Despite whatever fears she has including dying should she get herself involved, she was willing to do whatever it takes to face danger head-on for the safety of those she loved.

Not only that but as her homeworld's princess, it's her responsibility to fight if the situation calls for it especially it'll help her find a way for her kingdom to get a second chance in life and one step closer to saving Necrozma. Admittingly, Sarah and the rest of her family knew she was right; they faced worse dangers than Guzzlord before and what's more, this was not the time for them to live in fear when Dia's world needs to be saved as well.

They've gone up against many impossible odds before and time and time again, they've always come out of every problem scathed and unscathed but still alive nevertheless, paddle or no paddle. Why should their situation with Guzzlord be any different when they not only know his weakness but know that they're still a chance the world can still be saved?

"...You're right, Poipole. No more running away now or ever," agreed Sarah at last.

"Pikachu!"

"...I'm in!"

"Let's do it!"

"Fine, kid, whatever you say."

"Zera."

"Count me in!"

"Me, too!" the others agreed finally.

Poipole nodded back with a proud smile as she threw the empty can over to Sarah, knowing she's managed to convince her family to keep fighting. She knew she would have to help convince Dia, his Zeraora, Suicune, Entei, and Raikou to pitch in but she's willing to take a chance to rekindle their hope and break them from their war-weary and battered selves.

"Ready, Poipole? Use Peck!" shouted Sarah, throwing the can.

Using Peck once more, Poipole managed to hit the can. As she did, it rolled over to Dia, catching his attention as he picked it up and joined them.

"What's this all about?" he inquired.

"We've decided; before tomorrow morning, we're staying with you and training to hit Guzzlord's weak spot," Sarah answered, knowing that Dia had either tuned them out while she and her family were talking, listened in on what they said, or both behind their backs. "I've been thinking about what you told me; if we trap Guzzlord by using Electroweb like before, we'll have Nebby and Nebula force him back through the next Ultra Wormhole bound to open. Not much but it's a good start, really."

This took Dia by surprise, he didn't know what to say before he grew annoyed. "E-S-S-So, who asked you for your help, huh?!" he exclaimed incredulously.

"Nobody did but Poipole gave us a bit of hope and I figured we might as well take it from the top and take a chance at it no matter what. There's still hope left for this world if we do what we have to do. Right, guys?"

Sarah's family all cheered and nodded in agreement but their newfound determination coupled with their renewed optimism annoyed Dia's Zeraora, making him snarl and toss a small rock at them to tell them to shut up. The rock caught Poipole's eye as she glared at it and countered with Fury Attack, slicing the rock into tiny pebbles and catching the attention of the Legendary Beasts who looked at her in awe and fascination.

"Zeraora wants you to stop, too, obviously," continued Dia, knowing what his partner's thinking which caught Sarah's attention.

"Him, you mean your yellow pussy cat to call it a day? HA! Really, I've never heard anything so stupid yet encouraging in my entire life! He-he-he!" scoffed Zorua with a snigger. "Obviously, you simply don't know anything about Princess Sarah Tomoe! So, good luck talking 'sense' into her, Ranger Leader! When someone or something lights a fire under her, that's it! Getting her to stop when she gets like this is a lost cause, take our word for it; I bet her family has all been on the receiving end of it longer than you guys have."

Sarah's Zeraora nodded in agreement with a knowing smile but Dia, still hellbent on keeping his mission to save his world solely on his shoulders as well as those of his Zeraora and the Legendary Beasts, continued to dissuade them regardless of their motives.

"I told you, you shouldn't concern yourself with this mess of ours!" he asserted. "I can't have you dying on me as I carelessly did with Clark and Lois, it's just too dangerous!"

"Dia, I know what I'm doing, we all do," Sarah spoke up, glaring at Dia and deciding to tell him her biggest secret. "You trusted me with your story, now I'll trust you, your Zeraora, and the Legendary Beasts alone with mine. Zorua's right, I AM a Princess, dangerous is my business every day because of my estranged uncle who wants to have me killed, Lothor."

"What?!" gasped Dia in bewilderment, Dia's Zeraora, Suicune, Entei, and Raikou's bewilderment matching his own when they heard this. "Are you... Are you really a princess?"

"Yes, in my world, I am Princess Sarah Tomoe, the last of the abolished Alolan Royal Hierarchy. Many years ago, my birth parents, King Doug and Queen Delilah, joined by their old advisor/friend and my godfather, Tsukumaro Wong, fought against my uncle and his Pokemon Syndicate, Team Eclipse, Doug's former brother who became hellbent on destroying me in hopes of claiming the throne for his own out of personal revenge," Sarah continued, knowing she got her family's saviors' full attention.

"I would've died when Lothor and Team Eclipse invaded during the Ultra Beast War but just before my parents saved Alola, they and Tsukumaro used a Time Warp spell to send me to the future to live a normal life away from harm while they sealed our enemies and the ultimate Ultra Beast known as Necrozma, using their own life force and all while using our family treasures, the Moon Shield and the Sun Sword. Believe me, I was only two weeks old when Lothor ruined my life and I ended up where I am now including meeting you."

The reveal of her true identity in her world and a brief summary of how she came to be the young girl she is left Dia and his surviving friends in shock and awe; they truly didn't know anything about Sarah and they never bothered to ask her because of how dire the situation involving Guzzlord is. Especially since the threat of the monstrous Ultra Pillar remaining at large didn't give them much time to breathe and ask them about who or what kind of person she really is.

"I don't know what happened to my mom and dad and I'm not sure if I'm closer to knowing what really happened to them when they sealed Necrozma, Lothor, and Team Eclipse before but I'm hoping I can find something, anything, that could be a clue to what became of them. Until then, I have to deal with and end both my uncle and Team Eclipse who seek to take control of Necrozma, who's actually the living guardian of my Poipole's world in the Ultra Dimension. I believe anybody who's come to know him through whatever text or anything relating to Ultra Beasts knows him right now as the Black Beast, only because Lothor and his goons stole his light and left my Poipole's world as a barren wasteland and leaving her subjects endangered."

"But now, I have both of my parents' treasures with me so I'm getting close to the answers I'm looking for as well as Lothor and Team Eclipse's imminent defeat. However, there's not much time for my friends and I back in my world, either; they'll be attacking the Ultra Pillars to see if the one they've obtained will help them with their plans including breaking the seal set on Necrozma. They might try to take Guzzlord as well should he cross over and if that happens, my world and Poipole's will meet the same end as yours but worse!"

Seeing that her family's saviors were still in shock to say anything, Sarah knew that she had to drive the final nail in the coffin if only to fully rekindle and reinvigorate their fighting spirits and hope for a brighter future from Guzzlord.

"If I don't take this chance to help you guys now and defeat Guzzlord before he continues to ravage your world and put everyone on the brink of extinction should he eventually target the other regions, this war you guys are in will never end! You'll be fighting the same battles with him with no end in sight!" she declared firmly. "My world will soon be destroyed and Poipole's will be no different because Necrozma himself, once known as the Blinding One, is the very life force of that world!"

"As Alola's princess in my world trying to help and look after my subjects, humans and Pokemon alike, I can't allow your world to continue to become an apocalyptic wasteland nor would I allow or forgive Guzzlord to continue committing his crimes! I'll fight to help anybody or anything that needs that ray of hope so whenever I see someone crying and saying that things are hopeless, I have to be there to make sure they're worth living for in my world! That's something my real parents would do if they're here with me now!"

She then looked over to Dia's still-stunned Zeraora and decided to have one last battle with him to see if he, the Legendary Beasts, and their human friend can be fully convinced to have her and her family help them finish off Guzzlord.

"But, if you still don't believe me, I'll just have to prove it to you the only way I know how," she finished before pointing a determined finger at the wild Thunderclap Pokemon of Dia's world. "Zeraora, come down and face me like a real Pokemon! I challenge you and Dia to another battle, right here, right now!"

Dia's Zeraora glared knowingly at Sarah as she and her family eyed him, the gauntlet having been thrown with him having to decide whether or not to accept the challenge presented to him. To him, Dia, and the Legendary Beasts, this war was not her nor her family's fight in the first place so they shouldn't be meddling in their affairs. It's too dangerous for them to deal with still and they want to leave it at that.

But, hearing Sarah's story and her unparalleled conviction to help everyone in need regardless of who thinks about her plights and how crazy and original yet imaginative her reasons are had left him and his original views about her and her family shaken.

Was she really believing that there's still hope for this world to be saved if he, his human friend, and the Legendary Beasts would just reach out to them and have them lend a hand in their war or was she just pulling their legs for who-knows-what?

Seeing his silence and inability to accept her challenge, Sarah decided to make the first move. "If it's that hard of a choice for you to make, I'll make it for you! Star, Aura Sphere to get him on Ground Zero!" she ordered.

"Coming right up! You're grounded!" spat Star towards Dia's Zeraora, firing an Aura Sphere and forcing him to jump down from his previous spot and immediately accepting the challenge presented to him and Dia.

"I knew you'd see things my way, eventually," she responded.

"Only because you HAD to provoke him into battling you again," answered Dia, feeling utterly annoyed over her and Star's stunt but accepting the challenge as well.

"I promise; with our help, things for your world will be far different, you two. Star, use Focus Blast!"

"Gotcha! Beat this, dude!" shouted Star, shooting Focus Blast at Dia's Zeraora.

Dia's Electric Type friend used Slash to cut the Focus Blast as bits of it exploded around him before he followed up his previous counter with Plasma Fists.

"Bone Rush!" called Sarah again, allowing Star to summon her large bone and cancel out Plasma Fists, her current attack being a Ground Type move. "Now, go nuts on him with your Aura!"

Star nodded as she charged forward, focusing her Aura and using it to enhance her speed and agility to try and distract Dia's Thunderclap Pokemon. Her Mythical Pokemon opponent dodged each charge she makes at him until he sent her back with a hard slash causing her to crash straight into Sarah.

But, they didn't stop as they kept going at him again and again. The same thing also happened with Blitz as he had another go at the Thunderclap Pokemon before he switched out to have Silvally and Poipole take a crack at the powerful Electric Type before they were forced back, too.

This left Dia and his Zeraora in surprise and the Legendary Beasts were intrigued by what they were witnessing; is there really something about Sarah and her Pokemon that brought something out of them? What were they trying to do; how could they dare try to go up against a Pokemon like the wild Zeraora with such a crazy plan and take the pain in stride without denying how out-of-whack the idea for them to work together to beat Guzzlord this time is? Do they really think there's still a chance for their world to be saved, had they forgotten about Clark's last words to reach out for help when they really needed it after so long?

Clark and Lois' Pokemon, who had remained silent throughout the entire ordeal, could only watch in awe and fascination by what they had heard and seen. Who is Sarah, really, and why does she remind them of their late human partners through her determination and their willingness to fight for peace and happiness for everyone.

"I gotta admit, Dia; even now, your Zeraora's really something just like my own. A lone wolf in the face of evil sticking it out for those he's willing to risk his own life to protect just like you, I really admire someone like that even if it's for his or her own reasons," smiled Sarah in admiration as her family gathered around her. "What do you say, want to go for another round?"

But, Dia's Zeraora simply walked over to them with a blank stare until eventually, he smiled and gave an affirmative roar; by his response, he was raring to take another one of Sarah and her family's best shots. It sounded as though his hope and fighting spirit had finally been reinvigorated as the princess had hoped and that prompted a chance in Dia as well.

He fixed his hat with a soft smile and decided to allow Sarah and her family to help him, his Zeraora, and the Shiny Legendary Beasts in their mission including training with them for the moment of truth. The Shiny Legendary Beasts all smiled in approval from this; Entei and Raikou were finally convinced that their new allies could be of major help but Suicune's smile widened as she nodded in approval as if she smirked at Dia and Zeraora for finally admitting that they needed Sarah and her family's help.

"Only until sunrise and then the real work begins," requested Dia as they got ready again.

"You got it! And, I suppose it's time for me to bring out the big guns! Let's do it, Zeraora, Zorua!" agreed Sarah, her own wild Thunderclap and Tricky Fox friends taking to the field now.

"Prepare yourself as I unleash the true might of my Zeraora's power! Zeraora, Quick Attack, let's go!"

"Zorua, change to Grapploct! Zeraora, use Brick Break!"

While Zorua quickly transformed into Grapploct again and rushed to grab and throw her and her master's newfound friend and rival, the cloaked Zeraora charged forward with Brick Break before they clashed. The two Mythical Pokemon were stuck in a deadlock until Zorua grabbed him but ultimately failed as she was grabbed and thrown into her master, Slash then being used in succession to throw them back to Sarah and her family.

"Zeraora, Zorua!" gasped Sarah as Dia and his Zeraora continued while the others watched.

"Guzzlord isn't going to give you time to recover; remember to think quick on your feet before he does attack, Sarah! Zeraora, Quick Attack again!" replied Dia, sending his Electric Type friend charging straight at his training rivals again.

As he charged, Dia's Zeraora demonstrated his agility using Quick Attack with great timing, fierceness, and speed, darting from side to side and up and down as he tried to throw his opponents and Sarah off guard. He looked like a blur as he came at them but eventually, clearing their minds and starting to feel the environment around them for Dia's friend and not see him for a change, the little princess, Zorua, and her Zeraora felt his presence and made their move.

"Now, guys, Plasma Dark Pulse!" she screamed, initiating a combo move.

Taking their training rival by surprise, Zorua (quickly reverting back to her old form) and Sarah's Zeraora unleashed Dark Pulse and Plasma Fists together, the two attacks streaking towards Dia's Zeraora as he was caught off guard and hit before he flipped back to his master's side. The influx of power from the combo move took him and Dia by surprise but little did anybody know that while the electricity from the Plasma Fists attack shot into the sky when it and Dark Pulse made their mark, Guzzlord was eating away at another part of the ruined city. But, he soon felt the flux of power several miles away from his current location and he looked to see the thunder tower from Plasma Fists, feeling as though his earlier prey was still out there.

When the dust settled, the two Zeraora and Zorua were still standing and by that point, Dia and Sarah eventually decided to call it for them as they were satisfied with what they had delivered to each other.

"Good job, guys, I'm very proud of you," Sarah congratulated her two wild friends before she then turned to her family. "You didn't do too bad yourselves, good thing you all haven't gotten rusty still."

She then turned to Nebby and Nebula, "Sorry, guys. I really wanted to have you train but I don't know how we'd do it with you being giants and all."

"It's okay, Mama, we don't mind."

"We'll still help with Guzzlord and you've trained us good enough before we came here," they replied.

Sarah nodded knowingly but as Blitz jumped onto her shoulder and they looked to Zeraora, they found him giving them a small bag of Sitrus Berries for her Pokemon that trained with him and Dia as the Legendary Beasts, Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper joined them. Now, with Entei and Raikou, their doubts about their party's charges were completely washed away and now they trust her more than enough to help them.

Suicune, on the other hand, just gave Sarah an affirmative nuzzle as the little princess took the bag, knowing very well that she and her family would prove invaluable to their world's salvation.

"Gee, Zeraora, thanks... That's really nice of you," she thanked Dia's friend as she handed each berry to her battling Pokemon.

"I'm impressed, Sarah. You really had me going back there; when you focused on your Pokemon's aim and learned to feel for your opponent and not think about or see them, you, Zorua, and your Zeraora were battling as one," smiled an intrigued Dia. "And, the same can be said for the rest of your family from how they've been battling."

Sarah nodded back but not without some praise for her opponents in return. "Well, I'm impressed by how perfectly in sync you guys were and the Legendary Beasts would've been a great team for you as well. Especially you, Zeraora, given how you and Dia bounced off each other in battle," she told them, making Dia's Zeraora gasp in surprise at her words.

But, Sarah continued to smile softly as she laid down the truth to him while the Legendary Beasts looked at each other in surprise as well. "Come on, you didn't think I'd notice how well you've been battling together? If Dia could catch you at any time, I'd imagine you two being perfect for each other; you're both more alike than you've ever known."

This left Dia and his Zeraora befuddled, both of them unsure of what to say in response. Instead, everyone decided to turn in for the night but even so, Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper couldn't go to sleep.

While everyone was resting up for their final impending battle against Guzzlord, the three orphaned Pokemon felt like they want to do something to give their new friends and their guardians a hand as a way to honor their lost trainers.

The day when they were killed protecting Dia and Zeraora flooded their minds still, continuing to haunt them and they felt like they needed to do get their act together and become the Pokemon Clark and Lois wanted them to be for their sake. Finally, after thinking over their current options and what they want to do, they nodded in agreement and quietly snuck away into the nearby forest.

But, they didn't sneak away completely unnoticed, however; Poipole and Suicune eventually twitched after they left and they woke up to find the three of them gone from their spot in the Pokemon School until they looked outside and found them sneaking off into the forest.

Eventually, when they felt like they got some considerable distance from the group in a small clearing far enough for them to make it back should they decide to turn in again, they began to train themselves in order to become strong enough to help in the final battle against Guzzlord.

They were just getting a few warm-ups in when the little Ultra Beast and the Shiny North Wind eventually made themselves known, catching them in the act. Beautifly, Lycanroc, and Seviper squirmed sheepishly, trying to come up with an excuse for their leaving their only shelter until they were forced to come clean that they were training to help fight against Guzzlord.

Poipole and Suicune were understandably skeptical about them being of much help but seeing how determined they were to help them and the others and to avenge their lost humans, they eventually conceded and proceeded to give them a short crash course in their training before the big moment. By the time they had finished, they had only four hours left before the final battle so they made their way back to get some much-needed sleep.

As they went back to their original resting places to bed up again, none of the others stirred or knew about Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper's short training spree with Poipole and Suicune. But, that was what Clark and Lois' partners wanted; they didn't want to trouble anybody with their need to train and despite how short their own regime was, it was satisfying enough for them to be ready to assist them in ending Guzzlord by any means necessary.

It was daylight when everyone woke up and they were all feeling refreshed and ready to fight. For Dia, Sarah, and their Pokemon, today is the big day; soon, they were going to track down Guzzlord and put their plan into motion and this time, it was all or nothing for the sake of Dia's world's salvation.

It was a date with danger and destiny they were about to undertake and they would gladly welcome it if it meant putting an end to Guzzlord's tyranny once and for all.

However, as they prepared to head out, a loud rumbling and the sound of already destroyed buildings crumbling and toppling over caught their attention. Everyone ran out of the desolate Pokemon School to see the cause of the noise and when they found the culprit, there was Guzzlord in the distance, also ready to finish what he started the previous day.

"Look there!" cried Nebby.

"It's him!" added Nebula.

"Dia, he's back..." gasped Sarah.

"That's right, it's Guzzlord!" grunted Dia in agreement. "There's no time for us to keep training now that he found us, let's get him!"

Upon his order, he charged forward with his Zeraora and the Shiny Legendary Beasts by his side and the others soon followed to keep up with them leaving Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper to nod to each other and chase after the group. They were still determined to help and avenge their lost partners no matter what the cost.

"Hey, Dia, we can help you get rid of Guzzlord! Give us the word and we'll follow your lead!" Sarah requested.

"All right, if you must!" he relented.

"What'll we do first to get him back to the Ultra Dimension, Dia?" called Star, wondering what the first step to their plan is.

"First, we got to draw his attention to us!" Dia began, tossing a food can to the ground as it clanked and clunked, it's bouncing around catching Guzzlord's attention as he finally noticed them and gave chase.

It eventually became a planned game of Cat and Mouse with Dia, Sarah, and their Pokemon family and friends being the mice and Guzzlord being the big bad cat, the former group hoping that their little ploy will fool the Ultra Pillar into chasing them back to the original spot of the Ultra Wormhole he came through.

"This way!" shouted Dia, getting everybody to follow him back to the destroyed building complex.

As they made their way down to the lower basement, Guzzlord had to follow them through the original path he clobbered through in order to find and keep up with them, either unknowing or having an idea of their motives from their goading him to follow them. Sarah even had to return Nebby and Nebula to their Pokeballs in order to keep her with them so they don't end up being chased by their common enemy by mistake.

"Once we got him near the Ultra Wormhole on the lower basement, we'll trap him with a fully-charged Electroweb and that will hold him down long enough for us to attack," informed Dia, quickly laying down the next phases of their plan as they ran. "Then, once he's distracted, we'll hit him with everything we got right at his weak spot!"

"Right!" nodded Sarah, managing to keep up.

But, their original path back to the lower basement was eventually cut off when Guzzlord found and blocked their way, growling as he found his prey once more.

"This way!" shouted Dia, heading another way down to the lower basement.

Their escape also didn't last long as Guzzlord crashed a few levels down and shattered the floor, causing Sarah to fall and fling Blitz off her left shoulder to safety.

"AH! Oh no, Sarah!" screamed Dia.

"Mommy, hang on!" cried Star, immediately rushing after her human mother and grabbing her left hand.

With the memory of Clark and Lois' sacrifice and deaths immediately flashing in his head, the former Power Ranger rushed forward and grabbed her right hand just in time before she would end up becoming Guzzlord's lunch. "Stay still!" he ordered as he and Star held her tightly.

By then, Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper had caught up with them and seeing Sarah in danger of falling, Beautifly gave a determined glare as she fluttered to Sarah and used Twister to fling her up and back to safety. She was just in time as they quickly got away from the hole that Guzzlord made.

"Thanks, Beautifly," Sarah thanked, getting a happy chirp from the Butterfly Pokemon.

"Are you all right, Sarah?" Dia asked.

"Yep, thanks to you, Star, and Beautifly," nodded the princess before she looked back at the hole. "But, I think Guzzlord knows what we're about to do now and he's not gonna go down without a fight."

"Good, let's go. If he wants a fight, then we're going to give him one."

Continuing on their way to the lower basement and without any further disturbances, the determined group reached their intended destination and to their surprise and relief, they found an open Ultra Wormhole in plain sight. It was the perfect moment of truth for them to execute the next phases of their plan but Dia noticed it shrinking as it was suddenly closing before them.

"Look, the Ultra Wormhole!" barked Silvally (still being fluent to Sarah and the Pokemon and not Dia).

"It's getting smaller! If it keeps shrinking and closes when it disappears, then..." the Beast Defenders leader deduced.

"No way, Guzzlord will be here for who knows how long and he'll target the rest of the world!" Sarah gasped in horror, realizing the ramifications of their failure if they don't stop Guzzlord.

"And, we'll never get another chance to send Guzzlord back to the Ultra Dimension again," Dia nodded grimly.

Their problems were only about to get worse despite their possible chances of success as Guzzlord finally appeared again before the Ultra Wormhole but now rampaging mad as he desperately wanted to eat his enemies for his endless hunger to be satisfied. And, just as Sarah thought, he's not going down or going to be sent back to the Ultra Dimension without a fight.

"We've got to get this done! Ready, Sarah?" Dia spoke, taking his belt buckle and flipping a handle on it before taking it out to reveal a gold, white, and green Power Morpher/Dino Buckler from MMPR/Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger.

But, what made Dia's morpher different from the original Power Morphers is that the design was based on Tommy and Burai's original gold morphers but with a more metallic gold finish, the POWER RANGERS/KYORYU SENTAI ZYURANGER lettering being replaced with red lining designs on a black background similar to the designs on the Zeo/OH Suits from Power Rangers Zeo and Chouriki Sentai Ohranger and white lightning bolts on the gold rims. Surprisingly, it didn't have a Power Coin inside the small green circle spot in the middle of it.

"Whoa...! Dia, your Morpher-!" gawked Sarah.

"I know you want to play 20 Questions over my powers but we must focus, come on! It's Morphin Time!"

"Eh-Got it! Ready!" she stuttered, summoning her Poke-X Morpher from her Wrist Com and taking out her Poke-X Key as she and Dia morphed into their ranger selves.

"Dragonzord, Green Ranger Power!"

"Link to Morphin Grid, HA!"

While Sarah quickly morphed into the Solgaleo Ranger, Dia finally morphed into his ranger self again and when he was in his Power Suit, his Zeraora, Sarah's family, the Legendary Beasts, Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper finally saw him in his Power Ranger glory.

Flipping his Power Morpher and pressing on the belt button below his right thumb, he morphed into his green, white, and gold Power Suit but of just spandex, it had an armor-like look akin to the Power Suits from the MMPR Movie.

In addition to the armor-like suit, he had a golden shield and gold armbands akin to the Dragon Armor of Zyuranger's Dragon Ranger covering his upper body and upper arms for added protection. Dia looked incredible as a Power Ranger when he was completely morphed and he showed it in spades.

"I'll go first, Dia! Blitz, go at Guzzlord with Electroweb!" called Sarah, making the first move as Blitz fired a fully-charged Electroweb and trapped Guzzlord in it as Dia did before.

She then looked at Dia, having another idea that can give them another leg up in dealing with Guzzlord. "Hey, Dia, can ranger weapons pass through the Time/Space Continuum from my world to yours? I want to try something!"

"I don't know about that but whatever you have in your head, it better work!" he answered, hoping to try anything should their current plan go belly-up.

"All right, here goes. Please work, Transport: Beast-X King Ultra Bow!" Activating her suit's Transport Buckler, Sarah managed to summon the Beast-X King Ultra Bow from her world and into her hands in Dia's world.

But, its Transport didn't go unnoticed as some of Aether Paradise's workers in the research room, who are responsible for creating and maintaining the battle arsenal for the Ultra Rescue Rangers, saw the Ultra Bow being transported. This left them gobsmacked as quickly called Lusamine, Wicke, and Burnet to tell them of the unexpected transport.

"Chairwoman Lusamine, we've picked up a signal for a weapons transport here from the Research Room!" cried one of the workers.

"What, a weapons transport? Which weapon was transported and without our knowledge?" gasped Lusamine, looking baffled.

"Do you know which one's being transported at this time?" Wicke asked for clarification.

"It's the Beast-X King Ultra Bow; somehow, it's being transported through the Time/Space Continuum and into another world!" replied another worker, checking the Ultra Bow's transport. "It looks like Sarah's summoning to wherever she is now!"

Lusamine, Burnet, and Wicke gasped in shock from what they heard. "What, Sarah's somehow transporting it between dimensions through the Time/Space Continuum? But, how? Where is she?!" Burnet gawked in complete disbelief.

Back in Dia's world, the Beast-X King Ultra Bow finally materialized before Sarah's hands and she grabbed it, happy to see that one of her personal weapons got to her safely. "Yes, it worked! My Ultra Bow, I knew it would get here!" she cheered.

"What the-?! What is that?" gasped Dia, flabbergasted along with his Zeraora and the Legendary Beasts from seeing the Ultra Bow appear in a flux of Morph-X.

"My Beast-X King Ultra Bow, it's a present from a few friends of mine back in my world. If I can fire some Power Bolts at Guzzlord in conjunction with Blitz's Thunderbolt and your Zeraora's Plasma Fists and the rest of our Pokemon's attacks, we can force him back through the Ultra Wormhole through our combined power!"

"Sarah, that's genius! As long as we keep up the assault while pushing Guzzlord back before he can break free, it just might work! Good thinking!" praised Dia, preparing to go all out as well while summoning what is his own personal ranger weapon. "Now, let's not waste any more time and kick our plan into overdrive!"

Dia's personal weapon is a long sword modeled after the Ohranger's Star Riser belonging to Goro Hoshino but instead of a star on the shield hilt, it had a light blue thunderbolt on it and a yellow tassel attached to the pommel yielding a light blue thunderbolt charm.

"You got it! Okay, Guzzlord, time for you to say goodbye to this world!" shouted Sarah to the 7th Ultra Pillar as she took a potshot with her Ultra Bow. "Power Bolts, fire!"

The Power Bolts she fired (five in total) managed to slip past the Electroweb and they even hit Guzzlord on his weak spot, making the Ultra Pillar cry out in pain from the shots he took.

"Our turn! Zeraora, Suicune, Raikou, Entei, use Plasma Fists, Zap Cannon, Eruption, and Hydro Pump!"

Dia's Zeraora, Suicune, and her brothers unleashed their attacks in a condensing comet that thrashed Guzzlord and forced him back. Even though he was thrown a considerable distance towards the Ultra Wormhole, it wasn't enough which allowed Sarah to pick up where they left off.

"Let's get him, guys! Silvally, Tri Attack! Star, Aura Sphere! Blitz, Thunderbolt! Poipole, Venoshock!" she screamed.

The second condensing wave from her family using the four mentioned attacks made contact with Guzzlord as he was forced back to the Ultra Wormhole and he was getting closer to falling in. Seeing their chance for a final push to force Guzzlord out of Dia's world, she turned to her Zeraora and Zorua while she released Nebby and Nebula for their attacks and a little payback for the two fully-grown baby Ultra Beasts.

Guzzlord tried his hardest to try and break free from the Electroweb but Zorua, her master, Nebby, and Nebula took their positions and look set to fire their own blasts at him.

"Zeraora, use your Plasma Fists! Zorua, Dark Pulse! Nebby, Nebula, Flamethrower plus Moongeist Beam!"

"BOO-YAH!"

"Zera!"

"Bye-Bye!"

"Some payback is in order!" boomed the Pokemon in question, unleashing their power onto Guzzlord and forcing him even closer to the Ultra Wormhole.

"Delta Thunder Riser, Energy Slash! HA!" bellowed Dia, making his move as he fired a wave of energy at the Ultra Pillar from his sword and it made its mark as well.

"GET IN!" shouted Dia and Sarah, feeling sure they got Guzzlord's defeat in the bag.

Guzzlord, however, had other plans; breaking free from the Electroweb and using whatever pillars are in his way to slow down and stop him from completely reaching the Ultra Wormhole, shocking everybody in the process, he fired stronger sonic waves at the group.

While the larger and stronger Pokemon and Dia endured the blast, Beautifly and Blitz were unfortunate as they were blown back, forcing Sarah to save them and thus, take the blast as well.

"No, Sarah!" gasped Dia in shock before he and the others noticed Guzzlord coming back for more as he charged at them.

"Zeraora, use Close Combat!" shouted the former Power Ranger, allowing his friend to unleash a martial arts frenzy on the Ultra Pillar.

Sarah's Zeraora growled at Guzzlord before he joined his Electric Type twin and used Close Combat as well, the two of them going at him with a non-stop flurry of kicks and punches with their stronger Ultra Beast adversary trading blows as well. They were evenly matched as before but this time, Guzzlord managed to slip in two blows to force them back to their group, Dia's friend landing in his arms and Sarah's wild friend tumbling in front of them.

"Master!"

"Dia, Zeraora!" gasped Sarah and Zorua, their team reaching them along with Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper carefully nuzzling their battered and flustered friends.

"Mama, look! The Ultra Wormhole, it's closing!" gasped Nebby as they all watched the Ultra Wormhole getting smaller and being on the verge of closing and blinking out.

"We're running out of time, we'll never get Guzzlord through there!" added Nebula.

"Grr, it's no use," grunted Dia, finding their plight hopeless the way things are going as Guzzlord came closer to them. "Sarah, you and your family get out of here and take Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper with you!"

"But, Dia, what about you?!" gawked Sarah, seeing him losing hope of saving his world again.

"Go, it's up to us to finish it! My teammates will hopefully be here soon to get you away from here, go and find them!"

"We can't leave you two and the Legendary Beasts, not when we're so close to shutting down Guzzlord and his wrath on this world!"

"Face reality or you'll end up just like us and everyone else who's forced to retreat or die from his might!"

"But, you'll end up betraying the last hope Clark and Lois left you when they gave their lives saving you! Please, Dia, don't make yourself break that promise you made to them!"

"SARAH, DIA, LOOK OUT!" screamed Star in a panic.

The two rangers blinked and gasped in horror at what Star stopped them for and saw Guzzlord jumping at them for the kill. They grunted in frustration as they and everyone else braced themselves, preparing to die an honorable death even if their previous plight ended up being far from successful. But, just when all hope is indeed lost for them all...

"...KOOOOOOOOO!"

A powerful Thunderbolt struck Guzzlord by his second head and formed a strong Electroweb, making Guzzlord scream in agonizing pain and become ensnared with no hope of escaping no matter how much he struggled to break free.

"Another Electroweb!" breathed Silvally, stunned.

Everyone gasped in bewilderment but then, Lycanroc noticed something from the corner of his eye as he pointed at the one responsible for trapping Guzzlord. "Roc, Lycan! Lycanroc, Roc!" he gasped, directing everyone to the figure he saw save them.

"Seviper!" gawked Seviper, his eyes bugging out in shock.

"Beau-u-u-u-u-u-u-u!" chirped Beautifly in awe.

Above the ensnared Guzzlord, there stood Tapu Koko, one of the Island Guardians belonging to Dia's world. But, unlike the regular Tapu Koko from Sarah's world, the color scheme of the Tapo Koko before them consisted of mainly black, white, and orange which would tell any trainer and researcher interested in the Island Guardians that this is a Shiny Tapu Koko.

"It's Tapu Koko! Did he come back here to help us out?"

"Zera!" gasped Dia and his Zeraora in disbelief.

"But, look at him! He's nearly black all over save for his while and orange bits on him!" noted Star, seeing his colors.

"Pika, Pika, Pi, Pika Pi-Pikachu!" replied a stunned Blitz, seeing the Tapu Koko before them being a Shiny Variant.

"You're right, the original Tapu Koko is black, white, orange, and yellow! But, this one is one color short; that not just any Tapu Koko, that's the Shiny Tapu Koko of this world!" deducted Sarah in realization.

"KOOOOOO!" screeched the Shiny Tapu Koko again, using his power to recharge and activate Dia's Z-Ring and Sarah's Z-Power Ring in yellow and turquoise glows.

"Dia, I think Shiny Tapu Koko just gave us a hail mary! You think he's allowing us to use Z-Moves in your world again?"

"Well, let's try it!"

"Ly, Ly, Lycanroc!" cried Clark's Lycanroc, he, Beautifly, and Seviper joining them as they looked at Sarah.

"You guys want to help finish off Guzzlord, too?" she asked in surprise to which the three Pokemon nodded determinedly.

"Okay, fire on our signal!"

Taking their positions while the rest of Sarah's family stood back to let them make their big finish and brace themselves for the blast and performing the exact poses they needed, Sarah, Dia, Zeraora, and Silvally prepared to use their chosen Z-Moves while Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper took their own places behind them. Along with them, Suicune, Entei, and Raikou joined them for some additional payback of their own, knowing that this is the end of their mission with Dia and his Zeraora.

"Let's get in gear, Silvally!"

"I'm with you, Mother!" shouted Sarah and Silvally determinedly.

"Zeraora!"

"Zera!"

"It's Morphin Time!" Sarah and Dia bellowed together as they moved in sync with their chosen partners and fired their Z-Moves, combining their intense powers for an ultimate Z-Move combo. "Combine powers!"

"Gigavolt Havoc!"

"Devastating Drake!"

"Merge as one to end this path of danger and destiny! Use Devastating Havoc!"

"LYCAN...ROC!" howled Lycanroc, sending a full-powered Stone Edge.

"BEAU-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U!" fluttered Beautifly, unleashing a mighty Twister from her wings.

"SE...VIPER!" finished Seviper, firing a Poison Sting attack with all his might as revenge for his fallen trainer.

Suicune, Entei, and Raikou joined in as they all fired a fully-powered and combined mix of Thunder, Fire Blast, and Blizzard straight at Guzzlord in a final assault.

Horrified by what he was seeing and knowing that it was all over for him now despite how unbelievably stubborn he is for an Ultra Pillar, Guzzlord tried to shield himself and his second face with his pincers from the surging and combined blasts coming after him but it was no use.

The three attacks landed on him as they forced his pincers away and hit him on his second face, making him screech in truly agonizing pain as he was forced back and he couldn't escape from Shiny Tapu Koko's Electroweb at all. He screamed in defeat as he was finally forced into the Ultra Wormhole and was blown away as it closed on him, sealing his fate and never allowing him to return to Dia's world to do him or anybody else harm ever again.

The silence that followed was amazing. Seeing Guzzlord finally defeated and sent back to the Ultra Dimension in his last moments left everyone in stunned shock and amazement; thanks to a last-minute save from Shiny Tapu Koko, Dia, Sarah, and their Pokemon family and friends have finally brought peace to Dia's world and everyone who died including Clark and Lois or who were forced to run away in the wake of Guzzlord's wrath had been avenged at last.

"We did it... WE WON!" screamed Silvally, letting out a proud roar and breaking the silence in their long-awaited victory.

The rest of Sarah's family cheered along with Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper as they all took in Guzzlord's defeat and celebrated like there was no tomorrow. Even the Legendary Beasts couldn't help but breathe sighs of relief and send proud smiles to each other, knowing that their duty was done and everything will be all right now.

Dia and his Zeraora were stunned and were unsure of what to think; after so much suffering, after his team's failed attempts to stop him, after losing Clark and Lois when they gave him the help they needed to win, and having found additional yet unconventional help in the form of Sarah and her family, Guzzlord is gone forever and they won.

"It's over... We did it, we really did it!" screeched Sarah in delight as she turned to Dia. "Did you see that, Dia! We won, Guzzlord is gone for good!"

When she turned to her fellow Power Ranger, she was surprised to see him still in stunned awe over everything that happened even after he took off his helmet and soaked in their victory as best he could. She could tell that he was still reeling from their long-awaited victory and even his goggle-eyed Zeraora was at a loss for words.

"What's the matter, Dia? Aren't you happy, it's finally over! Your world is safe from Guzzlord!"

"...O-Oh! Yeah! Of course, I'm happy, Sarah!" he replied, a relieved and happy smile now prominent on his face. "It's just that it's such a big thing to me, I'm still taking it all in. I never thought I'd see the day when my friends and I would finally be able to beat Guzzlord and avenge Clark and Lois after so many failures since he appeared and nearly destroyed my world. And, we have you, your family, your Zeraora, and Zorua to thank for that."

"Lycanroc!"

"Beau-u-u-u-u-utifly!"

"Se, Seviper, Vi, Viper!" chirped Clark and Lois' partners in gratitude.

Sarah just nodded as she smiled back in return, "I'm just glad we were brought here to help even if we didn't know what was going on before."

She then approached Dia's Zeraora along with her Thunderclap friend and Zorua, wanting to thank them for his help as well as that of the Legendary Beasts.

"Zeraora, you were amazing out there. I never thought I'd get to see you use a Z-Move before my eyes and to see you as the Pokemon you are now after this war; I'm now fully confident that you and Dia are meant to be partners ever since you first met... Or something more, really, perhaps even, brothers..."

Dia's Zeraora widened his eyes in surprise from Sarah's words; does she really think they could be brothers after what they've been through. He looked to his counterpart and saw him nod proudly and Zorua sniggering at him.

He looked back towards Sarah and after a while, he simply gave him a small accepting smile and nod as they shared a handshake which also brought a smile onto Dia's face.

Then, she approached the Shiny Legendary Beasts, still amazed and grateful that she and her family got the honor to fight by their side even for a short time just as Blitz jumped back onto her left shoulder.

"Suicune, Entei, Raikou, thanks for everything and for saving us back there with Dia's Zeraora. We really owe you our lives; with Guzzlord finally gone from this world and everyone who died as a result of his wrath finally avenged, you can go back to watching over humanity and Pokemon living in this world. I'm sure there will come a day when both humanity and Pokemon will live together in true cooperation and harmony; humans sometimes make mistakes, some worse than others like this, but there's still a chance we can prove to you all that we're not all bad and Dia's world can be rebuilt as long as they work together. It may not be easy, sure, but as they always say: 'Never say never', right?"

The Shiny Legendary Beasts nodded with soft smiles and they turned to leave the region and go back to their original duties. But then, to everyone's surprise, they stopped and looked back at Sarah.

It's been known that after being reborn by Ho-Oh's power following their resurrection from the Bell Tower fire in Johto's Ecruteak City many years ago, when much of the people showed their fear and hatred for them, they could tell that humanity is not very trustworthy and left them to their own devices. They became the Rainbow Pokemon's servants to watch over humanity and see if they're willing to cooperate and live in harmony with other Pokemon.

But, after their long war against Guzzlord with only Dia and his Zeraora for company through it all after losing Lois and Clark to bad humans and meeting Sarah and her family while discovering her royal lineage in her world, something in the Legendary Beasts changed.

They knew that they could never trust humanity as long as they lived after getting a cold reception initially back then but they could tell that Sarah was completely honest with herself as well as trustworthy, loving, caring, willing to do what she must in order to protect everyone she loved, and so on. She even rekindled Dia and his Zeraora's hopes and their own for the peace they strived for long with Guzzlord's end and they succeeded in doing so.

Plus, while they've been roaming around the world separately on their mission given to them by Ho-Oh, if they were to be completely honest with themselves, it eventually made them feel lonely as they would not bother to stay in one place as they always placed duty before pleasure. The war with Guzzlord, however, brought them all back together when Clark and Lois made their pleas for their world's salvation known and joined them to get to Dia and Zeraora.

And, finally, with their struggle against the Ultra Pillar finally over and with nothing else but their duties to return to and fulfill, they didn't want to leave the only human they deemed trustworthy enough to be a part of. They would like to remain with Dia if they wanted to but they had grown weary of fighting 24/7 now and they all want a much-needed reprieve from the hardships and trauma they were forced to live through and endure since Guzzlord's inception with one human to show them the way.

Looking at each other and making a unanimous decision on the matter, they eventually walked back to Sarah and Suicune nuzzled her gently with a pleading coo while Entei and Raikou nodded with bows and expecting smiles.

Sarah was surprised as she spluttered, "W-w-What? W-wait, w-why are you all looking at me like that? Suicune! W-what are you do-hey?!"

Dia chuckled, realizing what they want Sarah to do and his Zeraora smiled at this. "Well now, I know what's up. Sarah, I think the Legendary Beasts want you to capture them and take them back to your world," he clarified.

"You're kidding!?" screamed Silvally, bewildered.

"No way!" gawked Star.

"Pika!?" added Blitz, completely flabbergasted.

"Poi?!" balked Poipole, also at a loss for words.

"Wh-HUH?!" she exclaimed in shock, turning to the Legendary Beasts as they nodded in agreement. "But, they're responsible for watching over humanity and Pokemon in your world! I can't take them-!"

"You must; I can tell that this war left them worse for wear and they no longer wish to fight all the time. They probably found you trustworthy enough to let you have them as part of your family, especially after you told us who you really are and when they saw you bring back our hope for this world to be saved. This world may have its problems with humans and Pokemon struggling to live together at times but I know we'll all get through it and live in cooperation and harmony, someday. We'll always have Ho-Oh and many other Legendaries watching over us and there will be others out there waiting to take their places."

"You think so?"

"Mm-hmm, I think you're just the person they needed to help them restore their lost faith in humanity. And, I could never think of anyone perfect enough to undertake such a job other than you. I bet you still have a lot on your plate back in your world with your own war and you'll need all the help you can get."

"That's true," Sarah nodded, knowing that was the case before she turned back to the Legendary Beasts. "Well, guys, I can't promise I'll be able to restore your faith in humanity completely but I promise I'll do my best to show you that not all of humanity is bad as you found out. I'll do whatever I can to help you recover from your mental trauma, too."

Suicune and her brothers just nodded, their expecting smiles still on their faces; that was all they wanted to hear from her.

Satisfied by their answers, Sarah took out three Premier Balls and tapped them on their heads with them, sucking them in as they clicked shut, accepting her as their new trainer.

Once the capture was done, they released themselves from their balls and returned to her side as they all bowed to her.

"I promise, you three. I'll raise you well and you won't have to go through anything like this war with Guzzlord or Clark and Lois' deaths ever again," replied Sarah, reaffirming her vow to them.

The three Shiny Johto Legendaries nodded before they were coated in red, blue, and yellow lights with a coinciding orange light hovering above them as they merged together before the lights separated and landed as small orbs in Sarah's right hand.

The orbs were revealed to be four new Pokemon gems - the yellow gem belonging to Raikou, the red gem belonging to Entei, the blue gem belonging to Suicune, and the orange gem belonging to their master responsible for their resurrection, Ho-Oh.

"Sarah, what are those things?" asked Dia as he and his Zeraora looked on in surprise.

"Pokemon gems, these belonged to the Legendary Beasts and their master, Ho-Oh," gasped Sarah before she eventually smiled. "Looks like I've gained three new members and the trust of the Rainbow Pokemon herself through them."

Dia smiled, seeing how happy Raikou, Suicune, and Entei were having Sarah as their new trainer before he looked around and realized that Shiny Tapu Koko had disappeared under everyone's noses.

"Huh, where's Tapu Koko?" he pondered before they noticed the Shiny Melemele Guardian flying out of the building and sending a Thunderbolt to his original counterpart back in Sarah's world.

Speaking of the Melemele Guardian in question, in Sarah's world, he was in a meditative trance while the rest of Sarah's family including Solar were anxiously waiting for any news as to what's going on with Sarah ever since she and Blitz and whichever Pokemon joined them were sent to Dia's world.

"I'm worried about them," Mai sighed sadly.

"Scor... Scorbunny, Bun, Bun, Scor, Bunny, Bunny, Scorbunny," nodded Scorch anxiously, noticing how unusually silent Tapu Koko has become.

"Zolt, Arcto, Arctozolt, Zolt, Zolt, Arcto..." said Arctozolt, wondering if they were successful in what their missing human mother, siblings, and friends were sent to do wherever they are.

"Stuff, Stufful, Stuff, Stuff Stufful-Stuff...?" whimpered Stufful, her worry if Sarah and her Pokemon crew with her had died somehow.

"Don't cry, Stufful, Master Sarah wouldn't want you to cry for her," Hashimoto soothed as he held her.

"Besides, if she and whoever's with her and Blitz were dead, they'd wanted us to live on for their sake," added Ching Wan reassuringly.

"No, Sarah is still out there wherever she is. Tapu Koko's likely waiting for something and he's about to give us a message on what happened to her and the Pokemon with her," replied Calyrex, his faith and hope still high as he, Spectrier, and Glastrier patiently waited. "I can feel it..."

"You think they're still alive after that crazy trans-dimensional time-traveling stunt they did with Tapu Koko pulling the strings about this whole 'end of the world' thing in another world only he knows about?" put in Solar, getting only a determined nod from Calyrex as he and his sons looked back out to the sea.

Returning to Dia's now-peaceful world, Sarah, Dia, and their Pokemon family and friends regrouped with Shiny Tapu Koko as he stared at them knowingly as if he was waiting for something from them after sending his message to his original counterpart.

"Okay, what is that man in black even trying to say?" questioned Silvally.

"I know, that isn't the end of our work," Dia noted, knowing what Shiny Tapu Koko is telling them through his hard stare and his previous message to his counterpart. "Now that our mission is complete and Guzzlord is defeated, the only thing we have to do is figure out how to get you all home."

"But, how do we do that?" asked Sarah, curious as to how they can achieve such a feat as they had before.

"After what we just did, I know we can make it happen again. I can feel it."

Sarah thought for a moment until Dia mentioned something she almost forgot, "Sarah, you mentioned something about an electrical sphere made by Tapu Koko and Blitz in your world with help from someone else, right?"

"Yeah, I nearly forgot about that. What about it?"

"Well, I think Tapu Koko in my world is responsible for pulling you all here to help us deal with Guzzlord when their and Blitz's Thunderbolts collided. The power they've displayed must've created a rift in the Time/Space Continuum so if we try to recreate the sphere and open up another rift, we might be able to get you all home safely."

"Really, great! And, I know what that means," smiled Sarah, realizing what he's saying. "What do you and Zeraora say, Dia? One last battle?"

Dia just smiled as Zeraora nodded, "It will be our honor."

"All right, one last battle for the ages here!" She then turned to her Zeraora, now wanting him to take part in her last battle with Dia and his Zeraora. "Well, Zeraora, wanna have a go with your double?"

Sarah's Zeraora nodded, intrigued to have the chance of honoring his counterpart and their new human friend with one final battle as he stepped forward to the plate.

"You got a nickname to differentiate him for this battle, Kid?" quizzed Zorua, not wanting her and Dia to confuse each other's Thunderclap Pokemon by name.

"Just one for this brawl alone, 'Z'," she replied, leaving Silvally to snigger a little when he heard it before Star used a Three Stooges Zinger to stop him, getting a pained yelp in return as he blinked and rubbed his eyes.

"Can you go for one episode or chapter without being like that with nicknames, man?" she chided at him.

"You really know how to hurt a guy, Kiddo! Ow!" groaned the Synthetic Pokemon in response, still rubbing his eyes.

"Anyway... Come on, Z! Brick Break, go!" continued Sarah, allowing her Zeraora friend to make the first move as he prepared his Fighting Type attack.

"Zeraora, use Quick Attack!" Dia countered in turn.

Dia's Zeraora raced towards Z using Quick Attack and as they clashed together, they gave each other knowing smirks as they don't expect each other to hold back in their first and only battle between them. The resulting collision also caused a small explosion to push them back to their respective trainers/friends as the clouds sparked with electricity in response to their equal powers.

"That's it, Master! Sock it to 'im!" encouraged Zorua as Sarah nodded in agreement.

"Close Combat!" ordered Dia, commencing his and Zeraora's next attack.

"Thunderpunch him back!" countered Sarah.

Using their Fighting Type and Electric Type attacks (with the occasional kicks from Z's side), the two Mythical Thunderclap Pokemon collided with each other again and they continued to clash, trading blows with one another with each explosion following them in their wake. As they fought, the sky continued to spark with electricity from their powers while they fought, all while Shiny Tapu Koko watched them in anticipation from his original spot in the air.

"All right, now finish it with Plasma Fists!"

"You end with Plasma Fists, too, Z!"

Hearing their last attacks from Dia and Sarah, both Zeraora and Z launched their shared signature attack from both sides and when the Plasma Fists attacks finally collided, all of the electricity built up from their battling shot up at the sky with great force before the stream of electricity hit the ground. Feeling their immense strength and satisfied with how everything turned out, the Melemele Guardian of Dia's world blasted the sky with a lightning beam through the remade trans-dimensional rift and signaled his original counterpart of what's going on. Receiving his Shiny counterpart's message and nodding from what he found out, Tapu Koko did the same thing and completed the rift, opening the gateway for Sarah and her family to take as their path home.

"Poipole, Poipole! Poi, Poi-Poipole!" screamed Poipole excitedly.

"Pikachu!" shouted Blitz.

"WE'RE GOING HOME!" cheered Nebby and Nebula as they all ran for the gateway.

"Hurry, we haven't much time before the rift closes!" cried Sarah as they entered the rift through the giant lightning bolt.

Clark and Lois' Pokemon watched with great worry as their friends were about to head home to their own world. They wanted to go with them but they weren't sure it would be right for them to do so. When they looked to Dia and Zeraora for an answer from them, they noticed the two of them smiling and motioning with their heads to join Sarah and her family knowing what they wanted after seeing the Legendary Beasts accept Sarah as their new trainer.

With a final smile and nod from all of them, they cheered before they rushed after Sarah and her family, surprising them as they made it inside the rift.

"Hey! What are you three-!?" gasped Sarah in shock.

"Sarah!" called Dia as he and Zeraora came over to say goodbye.

"Dia, Zeraora!" called the princess from inside the rift.

"We'll make sure our world returns back to the way it once was before and that the truth about the origins of Guzzlord's arrival finally come to light! And, you make sure you protect your world and look after Clark and Lois' partners for me! I believe it's time for them and us to say goodbye, I know you'll do well to look after them in their honor as well as the Legendary Beasts!"

"Oh, right... You got it, Dia! I'll make sure your friends live on through all three of them!" Sarah vowed with a determined smile. "I know there's a definite chance we won't see each other again but with the promise we made to protect both our worlds from the forces of evil, I know our paths will cross again someday! Take care of yourselves and may the power protect you, always!"

"You got it, Princess!" nodded Dia with a smile. "You take care!"

"Zera!" agreed Zeraora.

"LYCAN!"

"BEAU-U-U-U-U-U-U!"

"SEVIPER!" cried Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper as the rift closed and the group soon returned home.

When the light around them died down and they all returned back to their world through the dimensional rift, Sarah and her Pokemon family (joined by the Shiny Legendary Beasts, Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper from Dia's world) found themselves back in the forest clearing and found the original Tapu Koko in his meditative trance.

"Pi, Pi Pika?" asked Blitz.

"Se, Vi, Viper?" questioned Lois' Seviper, taking in the beautiful sight of Sarah's world and Alola along with Clark's Lycanroc and Beautifly, Suicune, Entei, and Raikou.

To the six Pokemon that parted ways with Dia and his Zeraora and joined their new family, it was amazing and a huge breath of fresh air to be within the boundaries of an Alola and world still intact with people and Pokemon living together happily and not having to suffer the wrath of Guzzlord instead. It was such a relief for them to be in much more peaceful surroundings where they can live happily without fear and without having to fight all the time. It was paradise and it felt so right for them.

Sarah smiled as she and her Pokemon with her are glad to be back home and with new members of their family to boot. "Welcome home, guys," she told her new Pokemon.

"Hope you like this Alola while you're at it," sniggered Zorua while she got on her master's left shoulder again. "After all, it's much, much better than being stuck wandering around a zombie apocalypse wasteland, isn't it?"

"*Welcome back, Princess,*" spoke Tapu Koko, finally breaking from his trance and giving off a hint of pride for Sarah. "*Because of you and your family's bravery, I'm pleased to hear and know that you were successful in your mission in the parallel world I sent you to with the help of my counterpart.*"

"Yeah... Tapu Koko, thanks for bringing us there when Dia and his Zeraora and the Legendary Beasts needed our help," she replied, nodding to her six new Pokemon in question as they looked in awe at him.

"HONEY!"

"PONCHITA!"

"PRINCESS!"

"MASTER!"

"SARAH!"

"HEY...! SARAH!" boomed a couple of familiar voices coupled with happy warbles and roars coming at her and her current party.

They all turned to the owners of the voices and found her friends and their partners, Rotom-Dex, Nikki, James, Tsukumaro, the rest of her Pokemon, and her dragons rushing at her looking relieved and ecstatic to see her back in the flesh. They all looked like they were deeply worried about her and were wondering what had happened to her while she was zapped off to Dia's world.

"Hey, everyone! Mom, Dad, Tsukumaro!" she gasped in surprise as Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper jumped with panicked yelps at the oncoming stampede and they quickly hid behind Sarah, shivering with fright.

Suicune, Entei, and Raikou just moved back to Sarah, getting behind her as well by a few inches but keeping a wary eye on the humans, Pokemon, and dragons coming towards them. They were still wary of humans and they didn't know what to make of the dragons despite seeing the Pokemon with them as trustworthy but they still trusted Sarah to help them move past their original animosity for humanity and so tried hard not to make a scene with them.

The relieved Stufful, Yamper, Ponyta, Snowflake, Wooloo, Cufant, the Litleo Pair (Kovu and Kiara), Tyrunt, and Amaura rushed over to their human mother and they gang-tackled her happily in a group hug, tears of joy at seeing her again flowing down their faces while the other younger and older Pokemon nodded at her with bright smiles on their faces while she laughed.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay! Stop, stop, stop, I'm glad to see you guys, too!" she cried, still laughing as her younger Pokemon hugged her.

"Well now, I'd say you took your sweet time getting home while on your errand, Sarah," joked Zarude.

"Where have you been? We were worried sick when you disappeared on us and with Blitz, Zeraora, Zorua, Nebby, Nebula, Poipole, and Silvally, too!" agreed Solar, relieved.

"Charmeleon, Char?" asked Charmeleon to Sarah.

"Well, I hope you guys like long stories," she replied as she finally got her younger Pokemon hugging and nuzzling her to get off and let her breathe. "And, boy, do I have a lot to tell you while I-Ow, HEY!"

"Dra, Dra, Dra, Draco!" barked a happy Dracovish as he chomped on her head, also relieved to see Sarah again as he cried happily.

"Ah-he-he, yeah, I'm glad to see you too, Dracovish! But, can you-ow! Can you please let-Ow! Let go of my head?" she asked him.

"You better give us every little detail about your trip, young lady."

"You've been gone for so long, we were all beginning to worry something might've happened to you!"

"I hope you have a good reason for disappearing on all of us as you did, Princess," put in Nikki, James, and Tsukumaro as well, giving her warning stink eyes making her chuckle with a sheepish smile.

"Uh... Eh, I hope you don't mind calling Prof. Kukui, Lusamine, Burnet, and Wicke, on my big discovery, right?" she squeaked.

"Don't change the subject!" they barked expectantly, making her flinch with a shudder.

"AH! NO WAY!" screamed Rotom-Dex in absolute shock, cutting off Sarah and her family and drawing their attention to the Shiny Legendary Beasts (who are being looked over by Ash and the others along with their partners) and making them drop their previous conversation as their jaws dropped in complete disbelief. "AM I SEEING THINGS?! NO! THEY'RE REAL, THEY'RE REAL, THEY'RE REALLY REAL!"

"They are! They're the three Legendary Beasts of Johto!" Lana remarked in awe as her and Popplio's eyes twinkled at the sight of Suicune. "Such power, such grace, it's like the sea is roaring from the North Wind herself!"

"Pop, Pop, Pop!" agreed Popplio, excitedly clapping her fins.

"But, their colors are different!" Ash noted. "That must mean they're actually Shiny Pokemon!"

"You're right! The Entei, Raikou, and Suicune in my databanks are nothing like these three here!" added Rotom-Dex showing pictures of the original Legendary Beasts.

"The reincarnations of the North Wind, the volcano, and thunder; all of them together in one place! This is something that's never been known to happen often or ever; the once-dead Pokemon many years ago in the aftermath of the Great Bell Tower Fire at Ecruteak City in Johto revived and reincarnated by the Rainbow Pokemon, Ho-Oh, assigned to watch over humanity and Pokemon to see if they could actually live together in harmony! This is a dream come true...I FEEL LIKE I'M IN HEAVEN!"

"Pika, Pika!" gasped Pikachu in stunned amazement as he looked at Raikou who gave him an amused raised eyebrow while Rotom-Dex sobbed with delight and took photos of the Shiny Legendary Beasts.

"I see it but I don't believe it!" breathed Kiawe in complete fascination as he looked Entei all over. "The Legendary Volcano Pokemon of Johto; I can feel his power, I can feel the fire burning inside of him, at this point, my heart is going into Extreme Inferno Overdrive Mode to see the actual reincarnation of a living volcano!"

"Tur, Turtonator!"

"Roar, Py, Pyroar!" greeted Turtonator and Pyroar with a bow to the Volcano Pokemon which he accepted with a respectful nod.

"And, what about these three with you?" asked Sophocles, he, Lillie, Lana, and their partners coming across Clark and Lois' Pokemon partners.

"They're so cute!" cooed Lillie and Mallow.

The once-orphaned Wolf, Butterfly, and Fang Snake Pokemon continued to shiver in fright over being around too many strangers until Sarah came over to them and rubbed and hugged them gently as they nuzzled her for comfort and safety.

"It's okay, you guys. Don't worry, they're my friends, they won't hurt you," she cooed before she turned to Lillie, Sophocles, and Mallow. "Guys, this is Lycanroc (Midday Form), Beautifly, and Seviper. Starting today, they're part of my family along with Suicune, Raikou, and Entei."

"That's awesome! How did you get so lucky?" questioned Ash, still reeling in excitement from what they're seeing.

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, on that note, I trust you'll be able to tell everybody what you've witnessed, Princess," chuckled Tapu Koko as he decided to leave. "I know you'll protect our world from Guzzlord just as you did with your new friends. Good luck!"

"Tapu Ko-?! Hey, come back! Wait-!" shouted Sarah as he departed.

"Ahem!" coughed Tsukumaro as he cut her off, he, Nikki, and James still giving Sarah warning stink eyes with Nikki putting her hands on her hips and James crossing his arms expectantly at her. "Princess, we're waiting...!"

Sarah chuckled sheepishly again until she lost her smile and cringed in fright, "Oh man, I'm really gonna die now..." She didn't need to say anything else; she knew that she was in big trouble this time.

When they arrived at the Pokemon School to inform a deeply-worried Kukui and Principal Oak that Sarah had returned, in private, she told them and everyone else everything she went through along with Silvally, Nebby, Blitz, Star, Nebula, Poipole, her Zeraora, and Zorua in Dia's world. How they had crossed over to his world and met him, his Zeraora, and the Shiny Legendary Beasts. How the group learned about the 7th Ultra Pillar, Guzzlord, and how he originally laid waste to Dia's world because of the actions of a single human who destroyed Alola's nature through greed and power. How Dia and his only Pokemon friends toiled through so much to protect their world and defeat Guzzlord until they came and helped end their war against the most dangerous of the Ultra Pillars.

She didn't dare leave out every single detail of it all with Star, Silvally, Nebby, and Nebula's help so by the time they had finished with Blitz, Poipole, Zeraora, Zorua, Lycanroc, Beautifly, Seviper, and the Legendary Beasts confirming everything they said, their audience was left stunned and awestruck beyond belief.

"So, that's basically it; if Tapu Koko hadn't sent us there, Dia's world would've been long gone," she finished.

"Wow, parallel worlds?"

"Pika...?!" gasped Pikachu and Ash in awe.

"So, if Guzzlord somehow crosses over into our as the others did, our world would also be destroyed," put in Mallow, now worried about the possibility of the 7th Ultra Pillar somehow making it to their world.

"And, because one human was careless and had no love for Alola's nature and true beauty, the world where Dia is from suffered as a result," added Lillie, growing concerned.

"That's so sad..." breathed Lana sadly.

"That's amazing but with what Guzzlord did, nobody should have to go through all that," nodded Kukui, feeling sorry for the people and Dia in his world that suffered badly.

"It looks like the Ultra Dimension isn't immune to its own fair share of dangerous creatures as well," sighed James, feeling bad for Poipole's world and the Ultra Dimension regarding Guzzlord.

"And, on top of that, Dia, the Legendary Beasts, and his Zeraora paid really hefty prices when they suffered through his wrath and he lost two close friends of his as a result," replied Kiawe mournfully.

"A Guzzlord invasion when we least expect it is something that we must Trevenaut let happen," said Principal Oak, throwing in a Pokemon Pun.

"I feel sorry for Dia and his Zeraora, I hope they'll be okay," agreed Sophocles, worrying about Dia and his partner.

"I wouldn't worry too much for them. Somehow, I know Dia's world will return to normal now that Guzzlord is gone," reassured Sarah as she, Blitz, Silvally, Star, Poipole, her Zeraora, Zorua, Lycanroc, Beautifly, and Seviper walked over to one of the open windows and looked out to the horizon, thinking about their new friends and how they'll fare in their world's recovery with Nebby, Nebula, and the Shiny Legendary Beasts on the beach thinking about them as well. "I'm sure it'll back to its former glory just as our world still is. It's a truly beautiful world back then and if anybody can bring it back, it's Dia and his Zeraora."

"Pika," nodded Blitz.

Everyone else nodded in agreement as they finally smiled; they knew that thanks to Sarah and her family with assistance from his late friends' partners and the Shiny Legendary Beasts, Dia and his Zeraora have protected their world from Guzzlord and its recovery will soon begin.

The princess' latest crazy adventure ends as Dia and his Zeraora, back in their world, look over the horizon in their Pokemon School hideout and watched Shiny Tapu Koko returning to the heavens to resume his duties of looking over his world and his Alola. They both knew the journey from here on out may be rough and there's still a lot of work to be done to restore their world to its former glory but they'll weather whatever storms will come their way to make sure it is back to normal. The same can be said for the Pokemon living in their world as they came out of their hiding spots and noticed the light in the sky from Shiny Tapu Koko, having a good feeling that because of the sacrifices made by their saviors and their new friends, there is hope left for everyone and a new world is waiting to be rebuilt on top of the old one.

"Sarah and Dia; her family and Zeraora. Even living in different worlds, they all live together...As the journey continues."

Epilogue: "Where Are You Going, Eevee and Friends?"

Dawn was just about to break over Melemele Island the day following Sarah's trans-dimensional misadventure on Dia's world and in a small little cave hideout, while the cowardly Wimpod from before scuttling around the beach in its own definition of relative safety, Eevee and his parents were snoozing off with three large palm tree leaves holding water and three coconut cups housing the Nanab Berries they've been farming along with some Oran and Pecha Berries they found.

A droplet of water plops into the water on one of the palm tree leaves serving as Eevee's drink, waking him up as he appears ragged and sleepy before he yawned, stretched, and shook himself to get rid of the sand in his eyes and get back to normal.

He then proceeded to eat his breakfast, his eating eventually waking up Delcatty and Boltund as they turned to see him wide away as he finished and turned to them, his cheeks blushing and berry stains on him.

"Eevee!" he chirped happily, getting a tired yet happy "Delcatty..." and "Bol, Bol..." from his parents.

The morning fully comes as they decided to take a walk across the beach to begin their first official day in Alola. They continued to walk along as if nothing bad could happen to them after everything that resulted in their wild voyage to their new home until they came across a wild Pyukumuku which caught Eevee's attention as he stopped and stared at the Sea Cucumber Pokemon.

They stared at each other for a minute with Boltund and Delcatty looking at them curiously before he ended up getting excited over another potential friend and sniffed him all over, making the pestered Water Type sweatdrop in awkward embarrassment.

"Boltund..." called Boltund, seeing how awkward things are getting and seeing his and Delcatty's adopted son immediately forgetting their advice about strangers.

"Prr, Prrow, Prr, Prr, Prow, Prow, Prrrrow," warned Delcatty, as Eevee touched Pyukumuku.

But, it was too late; with Pyukumuku now annoyed as the shaggy Evolution Pokemon pressed down on him in his excitement, it rushed at him and punched him hard, sending him flying and shocking his parents.

(Pokemon POV)

"EEVEE!"

"MY BABY!" the Prim and Dog Pokemon screeched in panic, seeing Eevee scream as he was sent flying from the punch before he and the wild Pyukumuku ended up being inside...Water balloons?!

Delcatty and Boltund stuttered as they looked at the water balloons and the balloon holding Eevee in bewilderment; their son was safe but they had seen something weird happening that actually saved him from being flung back into the ocean. What was going on?

"Awesome!" shouted a female voice, sounding happy and catching Eevee and his family's attention.

"Those bubbles are perfect, Popplio!" called another female voice, sounding just as happy but also older.

"Huh?" gasped Eevee as he looked down and saw a Popplio and a Brionne with a collar (Aqua) on her being congratulated by a Pikachu wearing a bracelet holding a Light Orb.

"Good job, Aqua, Popplio! You're getting better with your water balloons every day!" replied the Pikachu who was actually Blitz with another Pikachu nodding and chirping in agreement.

Delcatty and Boltund turned to the Pokemon to their right and they soon found Eevee floating towards Sarah's family along with Solar as well as her friends' partners. While the trio was on their morning walk, the Pokemon in question were all at the beach playing while their human mother and friends were studying at the Pokemon School. What they also didn't know was that they ended up on the beach close to the school and until this moment, nobody knew they were here.

Finally, everyone in Blitz, Pikachu, Aqua, and Popplio's group turned to Eevee as his water balloon popped and he came face to face with them.

"Hey, you're an Eevee!" gasped Blitz, surprised.

"And, you're Pokemon like me and Mommy and Daddy! What're your names?"

"Um... I'm, I'm Blitz," Blitz began with a soft smile and a wave before he turned to Pikachu joining him. "And, this is Pikachu, he belongs to Ash from Kanto."

"Nice to meet you!" Ash's Pikachu greeted.

"HI!" screamed Eevee excitedly before he ended up happy-tackling the two Mouse Pokemon, the other younger Pokemon including Umbreon's daughters and Eevee, Popplio, Rowlet, Snowy, Charjabug, and Hashimoto, startling them and making them groan in pain and bewilderment before he ended up knocking himself back off of Solar, mistaking the Beast Bot for a Pokemon.

"Eevee!" gasped Boltund and Delcatty as they rushed over to him while he landed in Tsareena's arms.

"Hmm, looks like somebody's taken a hefty dose of Happy Pills today," the Fruit Pokemon remarked.

"Huh?" buzzed Eevee again as he snapped himself out of his trance and looked at the big array of Pokemon staring at him in confusion and bewilderment as he regained his smile and his parents joined him. "Wow..."

"Are you okay, Son?" asked Boltund, feeling him for any stray injuries.

"I'm okay, Dad! Wanna play with my new friends?" chirped Shaggy Eevee excitedly.

"Stop the presses!" barked Silvally, looking at the Prim and Dog Pokemon. "I'm sorry but who are you two, seriously? Where'd you come from?"

"Oh, I apologize, good sir!" smiled Delcatty. "This here's my hubby, Boltund, and I'm Delcatty, we're from the Unova Region. And, this energetic little guy here is our son."

Hearing this threw everybody for a loop as they all gasped and screamed in shock and their eyes bugged out. "YOUR SON, AHH?!" gawked a flabbergasted Braviary, getting nods and chuckles from Boltund and Delcatty as they nuzzled the shaggy Eevee.

"I just have one thing to ask of you," Shaggy Eevee nodded before he took a deep breath and asked the group before him and his parents, "...Will you go Mantine Surfing with me?"
