Return
Ultra Space: Malummox's world
Malummox appeared exasperated as the heroes continued to stand in his way of conquest.
"Adding in Necrozma is not enough to make me back down," Malummox said. "I will eliminate all those who stand in my way of conquest!"
"You can try, but you won't succeed!" Gladion said.
"Photon Geyser!" Gladion fired a ball of light that hit the ground beneath Malummox, causing a geyser of light to burst out.
Malummox unleashed a barrage of dark energy beams at the heroes
"Prismatic Laser!" Gladion countered Malummox's attacks with his own barrage of multi-colored lasers.
"Sunsteel Strike!" Ash changed into Radiant Sun phase and rammed into Malummox.
"Moongeist Beam!" Lillie changed into Full Moon phase and fired a blue sinister ray at Malummox.
"Steel Wing!" Kiawe hit Malummox with his wings.
"Shadow Ball" Mallow fired a ball of shadowy energy at Malummox.
"Megahorn!" Sophocles jabbed Malummox with his elongated horns.
"Smart Strike!" Lana closed up into her shell and pierced Malummox with her spike.
"Shock Wave! Charge Beam!" Aviva and Koki fired their electrical attacks at Malummox.
Chris and Martin combined their fire breaths to hit Malummox with a double fire breath attack.
Malummox took some damage from the attacks and recoiled back.
"How… How is it possible for these pests to last this long against me?" Malummox asked.
"Now let's end this!" Gladion said as he put the Ultranecrozium Z into his Z-Power Ring, before performing the Z-Move pose to build up Z-Power.
"Radiant light of the prism, shine bright and vanquish the darkness with your might! Light That Burns the Sky!" Gladion gathered up light to form a big ball of light, this caused the surrounding area to become dark as its light was drained away.
When the ball of light hit enormous size, Ultra Necrozma hurled it at Malummox who managed to block it with a beam of dark aura.
"NO! You will not defeat me! I will unleash all my power to do so!" Malummox declared.
Gladion struggled and was exerting a lot of power to ensure that his attack would not be overpowered.
"Gladion's in a tight spot!" Ash said.
"What can we do to help?" Lillie asked.
Then, Ash and his friends all heard the voice of the Legendary Pokémon they had combined with in their minds, and with that, they knew what to do.
"Yeah, we get it," Kiawe said.
"Not just one person, but all of us as well," Mallow said.
"Let's send in our power as well," Lana said.
"Our full power!" Sophocles said.
Ash and his friends made a triangle shape with their hands, sticking their arms out. This caused energy to flow from them to Gladion's attack, empowering it.
"Alright, it's working!" Ash said.
"We just have to keep it up!" Lillie said.
Their Pokémon all joined in as well, and soon, the Wild Kratts.
"Come on, let's do that too!" Chris said.
The Wild Kratts all deactivated the powers they were using to make the same pose to send their own energy.
Back in Alola, Jimmy, who was watching from inside the Tortuga, relayed the video to the Aether Foundation.
The Aether Foundation saw what they were doing and relayed the message to all of Alola, asking for their support as well.
Soon, nearly all the people and Pokémon of Alola were sending their energies as well, traveling through the Ultra Wormhole created by Solgaleo and Lunala to reach Malummox's world.
As Alola's collective energy reached Gladion, the sphere of light grew bigger in size to the point it started overpowering Malummox's attack.
Back in Alola, the Island Kahunas started going all-out as they readied their Z-Moves.
"All-Out Pummeling! Continental Crush! Black Hole Eclipse! Tectonic Rage!" The Island Kahuna's Z-Moves unleashed powerful bursts of Z-Power that supplied more power for Gladion's attack.
"Come on! Let's use everything we've got for one last push!" Kiawe said.
"Right!" Kiawe's friends all agreed.
"Guardian of Alola! Searing Sunraze Smash! Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom!" The last six bursts of Z-Power from the Z-Moves provided enough power for Gladion's Z-Move to fully overpower Malummox's attack.
"NOO! HOW CAN THIS BE?! I AM THE ALMIGHTY LORD MALUMMOX!" Malummox as he was hit by the Z-Move. "HOW COULD I BE DEFEATED LIKE THIS?!"
"That's because you could never understand the meaning of bond. How it means to build relationships with others, who will help each other in times of need. You, on the other hand, only know how to make others work for you, all take and no give. There's no connection there. It's not a true bond. That's why you lost." Gladion said as the sphere of light fully consumed Malummox.
Malummox's body was then completely vaporized by the light and after an intense final flash of light, it was over. Malummox had been defeated; the heroes had won.
"It's over!" Martin said.
"We won!" Aviva said.
"Release!" Gladion descended back to the ground and released his Burst, separating from Necrozma. Then his friends did the same as well. "Release!"
Necrozma then rose high up into the sky and released more of its light, turning the surrounding area into a lustrous landscape full of floral life.
"Pretty!" Mallow said.
"I guess without Malummox, this world can become beautiful as well," Koki said.
Then, Ultra Necrozma disappeared into another Ultra Wormhole, and the Island Guardians flew up towards the Ultra Wormhole they used to get to this world, telling the heroes that it was time for them to go as well.
The kids all got on Solgaleo, and the Wild Kratts activated Peregrine Falcon Powers. Then everyone went through the Ultra Wormhole, arriving back in Alola at the other end, at Hau'oli Outskirts where Jimmy, Professor Kukui, and the Aether Foundation staff were awaiting their return.
Aether Paradise: Exterior (Few days later)
At Aether Paradise, there was a crowd gathered as the heroes stood on the stage.
Beside them on the stage was Lusamine, Wicke, and Professor Burnet, soon joined by Faba who had several medals with him.
"Ash, over here!" Ash heard a familiar voice call out to him and he saw his mom Delia and Mimey.
"Mom! You came too?!" Ash said in surprise that she came all the way from Kanto to Alola to see him.
Then, Lusamine took the mic and made an announcement.
"People of Alola, a few days ago, our beloved region was threatened by an evil force. However, we managed to pull through our courage and bonds. But these individuals standing on the stage had done the most for us and our home. For that, it is my great pleasure to bestow upon them the heroes' rewards." Lusamine said as she received the medal case from Faba.
However, before she could distribute the medals to the heroes, the case was snatched out of her hands by a red tractor beam.
Everyone looked up to see the Wild Kratts villains on hovercrafts with the stolen medals.
"The villains!" Jimmy said.
"Haha! Sorry losers, but you won't be getting your medals!" Zach said. "Why you ask, because we're stealing them!"
"Really Zach, this is all that you and the other villains are up to?" Aviva asked.
"Don't you have anything better to do with your lives?" Koki asked.
"Well, we would have more productive lives if you weren't constantly butting in!" Donita said.
"Rotten Wild Kratt Croutons!" Gourmand said.
"You're constantly the thorns on our side like yucky nature!" Paisley said.
"Well, then I hope you won't mind us doing what we always do!" Martin said as he and Chris got their Creature Powers ready. "Activate Harpy Eagle Powers!"
The Kratt Bros flew off into the air in pursuit of the villains. The villains responded by sending Zachbots and Mannequins after them, but the Bros easily maneuvered around the mooks, and even caught some and tossed them toward another.
Then, the Bros caught the last remaining Zachbot and Mannequin and tossed them towards the villains, who dropped the medal case in the collision. Luckily, the case was safely caught by Chris.
"We'll get you next time, Wild Ratts!" Zach cursed as he fled, followed by the other villains.
"That's Wild Kratts!" Chris and Martin both shouted as the villains left.
As the Kratt Bros landed back on the ground, the audience cheered at them for their heroics.
Meanwhile, unnoticed by everyone, Team Rocket was planning to take advantage of this to nab the heroes' Pokémon. However, they suddenly noticed Stufful, followed by Bewear, who grabbed Team Rocket to take them away.
"Hey wait! We were about to…!" Team Rocket tried to argue but gave up. "We're off with a new blast."
With all the distractions out of the way, the heroes were finally able to receive their medals and were congratulated by the people of Alola.
Melemele Island: Hau'oli City
Later back at the city, the heroes all were contributing in some way to help repair the city after Malummox's attack.
After long hours of work, the heroes eventually met back up near Mallow's family restaurant.
"What a day," Kiawe said.
"I know, the restaurant was busy providing food for the workers fixing the city!" Mallow said.
"Well, soon everything will be alright and back to the way it was," Ash said.
"Yes, but there are still a few important tasks to be done before then," Goun's voice said, right before Goun himself appeared right before the heroes.
"Goun! Good to see you!" Mallow said.
"I apologize, but I did not arrive bearing good news," Goun said with a stern tone.
"Don't tell me Malummox is…" Lillie said, but she was interrupted.
"No, Malummox is completely gone. But my news has nothing to do with Malummox." Goun replied. "I must inform you that… it is time for the Wild Kratts to return to their original world."
The heroes were all shocked by this news. "WHAT?!"
"Go back… to our original world?" Chris asked. "Wow, we were having such a great time here that it completely slipped our minds."
"Me too. And now that I think about it, there are a lot of things I miss there." Martin said. "Family; friends, especially our animal ones and the Wild Kratts Kids; many more."
"Yeah, but still, we've done so much in this world that I'm feeling conflicted," Aviva said.
"Do they have to go back?" Sophocles asked.
"Yes, because if the Wild Kratts are not there, then there is no one to defend it," Goin replied.
The Wild Kratts thought about how if there were creatures in trouble, what would happen if they weren't there to save them, and they were convinced that they should go back. The kids, seeing the Wild Kratts' faces, saw that they were thinking about returning.
"Goun's right. It wouldn't be right to leave a world without its heroes for long." Kiawe said.
"Yeah, you guys should go back there and keep on Creature Rescuing," Mallow said.
"We'll miss you all, but it's for the best," Lana said.
"What about those villains, will they be sent back as well?" Gladion asked.
"I've already sent them back, and to make sure they won't take advantage of the Wild Kratts' absence…" Goun showed an image of the Wild Kratts world, where it showed the villains trapped in energy bubbles, trying to get out. "They'll be free once the Wild Kratts return."
"Now, it's time. Take the moment to say farewell." Goun said.
"Well, I think I speak for the entire Wild Kratts when I say it was fun: coming to this new world, seeing all these new creatures that are Pokémon, going on all these adventures, saving Alola from danger, all of it." Martin said, and his fellow Wild Kratts all agreed.
"Same here," Ash said. "If we ever get the chance to meet again, we should do it all again too."
"Yes, we should!" Chris said.
Then, the Wild Kratts got into the Tortuga as Goun opened a wormhole, a different one compared to an Ultra Wormhole, and flew into it, releasing a bright light that was seen by many people, including Team Rocket.
As the Wild Kratts departed, so did Goun, and the kids stood where they were.
"There they go," Lana said.
"Being heroes in another place that needs them," Ash said. "As for us, we're Alola's heroes!"
The kids joined their left hands in the middle, and then raised them, shouting "Alola!"
Wild Kratts world: Africa
Back in the grasslands of Africa where the Wild Kratts originally were before getting transported to the Pokémon world, the Tortuga appeared with a flash of light.
"The African grasslands! Wow, it's been so long!"
Then, the Wild Kratts saw that the villains had been freed and were flying away in their aircraft.
"Well, I guess we'll see them again soon," Jimmy said.
"We'll send them packing, just like we always do," Koki said.
"But for now, let's keep on Creature Adventuring!" Chris said.
"On the Creature Trail!" Martin added.
And the Wild Kratts all raised their arms in confirmation.
The End
A/N: The title of this chapter contains a hidden meaning such as the return of peace to Alola, as well as the Wild Kratts characters' return to their original world.
And that is it, the end of this story. After 3 years and 3 months, at 240 chapters, this story finally comes to its conclusion. It was kinda hard and satisfying to write, but I doubt I'll ever write one as long as this ever again.
