Gamelover41592:...Necrozma was literally in the story
Matt (Guest): You know what? That's fair
IllusionSign (Guest): Yeah, but Emma's too moral for that and Kitty is too nice.
Time for Emma and Kitty to take on the leaders of Team Rainbow Rocket!
"I should have gone right," Kitty groaned. The left path was a teleporter maze. There were grunts too, but since they were all laughably incompetent, they weren't too annoying. But she didn't become champion by giving up, so she continued on until she finally found what looked like an office. Two grunts were waiting for her.
"I'll stop you right here! No need for my supervisor here to worry himself!" One grunt declared as he sent out a Fearow. Kitty's Lycanroc made quick work of it.
"Let me show my underling how it's done!" The other grunt declared as the first grunt went into a stomping tantrum. He sent out a Muk from Kanto. Kitty was pretty sure Emma said that it was a pure Poison Type. One quick Psychic from Primarina took care of it.
"Now can you kindly get out of my way?" Kitty asked in a mockingly sweet voice. The two grunts moved aside and Kitty entered the office. Inside the office was a man in an all black outfit with a blue bandanna wrapped around his head.
"Hm, what's this? You defeated the Team RR goons, did you know?" The man asked Kitty as he turned around, revealing he had some decent facial hair. "Well, that's a shame. They weren't my real crew, but they were still mine for the moment. ...The name's Archie. I'm the leader of Team Aqua." Kitty silently gasped. She'd heard of Team Aqua and how they tried to use Kyogre to flood the world. "Just when I completed my great plan, I got swallowed up by a giant wave...And when I came 'round, I was in this world. The boss of Team RR was kind enough to let me use this room as my own. I've been tryin' to figure out a way to get back to my own home. And I do want to go back eventually, but I find myself thinkin'...maybe I should make this world more like my ideal while I'm here anyway. I've got the Sea Basin Pokémon, Kyogre...With its power to control the rains, I'll call down a great deluge to wash away this world's land!"
"That's insane!" Kitty protested.
"All life is born from the sea! If we help the ocean expand, we're creating the cradle for future life to thrive and grow! The best possible future for both people and Pokémon, don't you think!?" Archie asked, completely ignoring Kitty's prior statement. She merely readied herself for battle, deciding it wasn't worth trying to protest again. "Oh? So you want to get in my way, just like that buffoon from Team Magma. Well then, you little scamp...it's the rope's end for you and your Pokémon!"
"Let's go…" Kitty replied. Sure, she loved surfing and swimming, but she knew that a world with no land was ridiculous. Archie started out with a Mightyena, while Kitty sent out Bewear.
"Thunder Fang!" Archie ordered. Bewear was paralyzed, but Kitty didn't switch him out. She only needed one thing.
"Hammer Arm!" Kitty called out. Mightyena fell instantly. From there, Kitty mostly held the advantage. She did have to switch out Bewear right away, but his Muk and Crobat both fell to Primarina, while his Sharpedo was knocked out by a Trop Kick from Tsareena.
Then came Archie's trump card.
"Kyogre! Finish her off!" Archie roared as he sent out the legendary.
"Oh boy…" Kitty remembered that Archie said he had Kyogre, but she didn't think he would actually use it! Kitty swallowed and just kept going. "Tsareena! Power Whip!" The attack landed, but didn't do that much damage.
"Kyogre, Ice Beam," Archie ordered.
"Dodge!" Kitty yelled out. Tsareena didn't dodge in time, taking the full might of the attack. However, she refused to fall and staggered back to her feet.
"Reena…" Tsareena said. Even if Kitty didn't understand, she got the message. She wouldn't fail her trainer. Not now.
"Use Trop Kick!" Kitty ordered. Tsareena attacked with all her might, actually managing to stagger Kyogre. "Again to finish it off!"
"REENA!" This finally knocked Kyogre out. Kitty looked back at Archie. He actually seemed impressed.
"Well, would you look at that!" Archie marvaled. "I control the ocean and all its power, and yet here I am, beaten by a little tyke! All right, all right….You've made your point. I can see you're not one to be trifled with. If you want to get farther into Team Rocket's Castle, though, you'd better have checked out the pictures hanging on the wall. The red one, and the blue one too. It makes me wonder...if there was a trainer like you back in my old world, would I ever have been able to pull off my great dream?" Taking Archie's hint, Kitty checked out the painting of a large wave on the wall. There was a switch behind it. Upon hitting it, another teleporter opened up. Archie simply nodded. Kitty took it.
Emma sighed as she walked towards the big doors. The color puzzles were very annoying, not helped by the grunts shouting and battling her. But she was smart. The grunts weren't difficult and the ones guarding the doors were not any different. Inside was a red haired man with a black and red coat. Emma was pretty sure she knew who it was.
"Here I thought it was that obnoxious Faba, coming to pester me again, but...all this ruckus was caused by a young teen?" The man asked. "I am Team Magma's Maxie. I had finally realized my grand design, only to be swallowed by a great fissure that appeared beneath me….When I awoke, I was in this world. I'm enjoying this experience so far, though. The knowledge in this world is...fascinating. I do intend to return to my own world eventually, but first...I have decided to bring this world, as well! I will use the Magma-controlling power of the Continent Pokémon Groudon to shrink the oceans and create more glorious landmass! With more dry land to live on, the creatures of the land will no longer need to fight for territory! This is the ideal world for people and Pokémon! A world without conflict! Don't you agree?"
"No...that will destroy the world! Without the ocean, there will be no rain!" Emma attempted to explain. She knew it would fall on deaf ears.
"Do you mean to interfere with my plans? You are just like that fool from Team Aqua," Maxie noted in a threatening voice. "I can't allow an ignorant child like you to get in our way. I, Maxie, will show you the consequences of meddling!" With that, a battle began. For the most part, Emma handled herself fine. Lycanroc was able to deal with Crobat, Mudsdale with Mightyena, Incineroar (with some effort) handled Weezing and Camerupt was taken down by Golisopod. Only one more Pokémon and Emma was nervous.
"Groudon, please show our uninvited guest how over her head she is," Maxie said condescendingly. Admittedly, Emma was worried, but she had a plan.
"Golisopod, Razor Shell!" Emma ordered. Golisopod dealt heavy damage, but didn't do enough damage for a knockout.
"Solar Beam," Archie replied. Emma smirked. If her guess was right, then Maxie wouldn't know that in spite of being a water type, Golisopod was not weak to grass.
"Now, finish it off with Waterfall!" Emma called out.
"GOLISOPOD!" The beast roared as he charged at the legendary, quickly taking it down.
"So you have defeated the master of the land-the great Maxie!" Maxie exclaimed. He was impressed. And that was something very few people could do. "Still, I wonder...what makes you so adept at handling Pokémon? There has to be some reason I was defeated...that's what you're trying to say, aren't you?" Emma had no response. "Hmph...You think I didn't know that? This isn't my own world, after all." He then turned away. "If you truly wish to continue farther into Team Rocket's Castle, there are two paintings that you will need to examine. One red, and the other blue." He then turned back to Emma. "I have my noble cause! To expand the landmass, for the advancement of humankind and Pokémon! This is where we part!" Emma took the cue to check out the painting. She found the switch, hit it and teleported back to the main room. She found Kitty waiting for her.
"I take it you had a battle too?" Emma asked as she let Lillie heal up her Pokémon.
"Yeah, it was the leader of that team from Hoenn, Archie," Kitty revealed.
"That's weird, because I fought Maxie," Emma explained. "I think they were pulled from worlds….worlds where they won." Kitty felt sick.
"Hey! You two found the prez yet?!" Guzma asked. Emma and Kitty then noticed that he was literally holding back two grunts. Emma snickered while Kitty pulled out her phone and started taking pictures.
"No, we're still looking," Emma admitted once she got her bearings back.
"Ugh! C'mon, you grunts! Tell me where the prez is, or else!" Guzma barked at the grunts he was holding back.
"We're not going...to tell you anything!" One grunt declared in between panting.
"Even if we did, you wouldn't be able to reach her anyway!" The other snapped. "I...I can't breathe if you cover my face like that!"
"He's right! If you want to get past the mirror, you'll need to get to the second floor, find the card key, and activate the switch!" The first declared. "You'll never be able to do it!" The second grunt went into evil laughter.
"Thanks for the tip!" Kitty replied earnestly.
"...I might not be one to talk, but these dudes are stupid!" Guzma exclaimed.
"On, you're still wandering around here?" Maxie asked as he entered the room.
"You better hurry, little tyke, or what you're lookin' for will be gone forever!" Archie warned as he also walked in.
"You got any popcorn?" Emma asked her sister.
"No, how come?" Kitty replied. Emma merely pointed at the two leaders.
"Who are you two weirdos!? And whaddya mean, gone forever!?" Guzma demanded. Archie and Maxie then took notice of each other.
"Well, if it isn't the big buffoon himself, Archie!" Maxie taunted.
"Hey, careful who you call names, Maxie!" Archie fired back. "I seem to recall you cowering in defeat in front of me!"
"Hmph, such nonsense!" Archie scoffed. "No matter what world we are in, I would never lose to the likes of you."
"Ooh, you want me to prove it to you then?' Archie challenged as he and Maxie got directly up in each other's faces. "C'mon! Let's settle this, right here, right now!"
"As you wish!" Maxie agreed. "Let the victor take Alola, and do with it as he pleases!"
"Agreed!" Archie replied.
"H-hey! What're y'all talking about? This isn't your turf!" Guzma replied. However, before Archie or Maxie could do anything, they were suddenly returned to their home dimensions.
"Wh-what?" Unknown to either, Archie and Maxie both found themselves facing a similar scenario upon their return to their world: the legendary that opposed their own was in the process of restoring their world to its prior state. And, personally staring them down was a large green dragon.
"Huh? What's goin' on here…?" Guzma asked.
"I really have no idea," Emma admitted. "Do you need any help with those guys?"
"Nah, I got these goons!" Guzma insisted. "You two head upstairs!"
"I wanna go right this time!" Kitty said before Emma could get a word in.
"O...K then," Emma replied. With another hug, the girls were off.
"Thank god this puzzle was less annoying!" Kitty declared once she reached the doors. This time, all she had to do was direct some spotlights away from the path she wanted to take. Dealing with the guards (who sucked at their jobs. Could she even call them that?) at the door, Kitty entered to find a man dressed in all black with crazy red hair. Behind him were two buttons on the door.
"You must be one of the intruders I keep hearing about," The man said as he turned around. "I am Lysandre. I had triggered my ultimate weapon to wipe out all the fools-everyone except Team Flare...but at that moment, a bright light swallowed me and I wandered into this world. No matter. My purpose remains the same. No matter which world I'm in is not important." Kitty silently decided that she was not letting this guy do anything other than battle her. "The only way to create a world where people live in beauty, a world without conflict or theft…Behind me, you see two buttons. One will open the path for you, and help you move forward...the other will trigger my ultimate weapon, and destroy all that there is in this world!...So, make your choice…"
"You're kidding, right?" Kitty practically begged.
"I believe being a chosen one means you have the potential to change the future! Whether we activate the ultimate weapon or leave it safely underground will rest upon if you actually have this potential or not." Lysandre replied. Kitty swallowed nervously. She decided to try and logic her way through this. Since the red button always activated evil things in movies, she should press the blue button.
"Unfortunately, you are not a chosen one!" Lysandre declared.
"AH! Movies lied to me!" Kitty exclaimed in fear.
"You will destroy the world you tried to protect, by your own hand!" Lysandre declared. "However...there is still time before my ultimate weapon is fully activated. Press the other button before it fires, and you will still be able to stop it." He was about to challenge her to a Pokémon battle for the right to push the button, only for Kitty to push past him and hit the button.
"Well…" Lysandre had no idea what to do next. "I will simply defeat you in battle and then reactivate the ultimate weapon myself!"
"Not on the champion of Alola's watch you want!" Kitty proudly declared.
"The future you want, or the future I want…let us see which one is more deserving, shall we?" Lysandre challenged. Much like Archie, Kitty held the advantage during most of the right, with her Lycanroc sweeping both Pyroar and Honchkrow, while Primarina dealt with Mienshao. The first problem was with his Gyarados. Kitty watched as Lysandre used a strange ring to make the Gyarados change form.
"What...what is that?!" Kitty exclaimed.
"That is the power of Mega Evolution," Lysandre declared. Kitty had heard about Mega Evolution from Emma, but she had only mentioned it as being able to give Pokémon a more powerful form. Still, Kitty was sure she could handle it. After all, Ribombee knew Solar Beam.
"Ribombee, Solar Beam!" Kitty called out. Lysandre scoffed at the sight, only to be thoroughly shocked when Gyarados fell. But then came his final Pokémon
Yveltal
Kitty swallowed hard (her throat was so dry at this point). But she steeled her nerves. She had to win! There was no way she was letting his madman destroy her world!
"Yveltal, Air Slash," Lysandre ordered. This quickly knocked the little bug type out. But Kitty wasn't giving up.
"Primarina, let's finish this!" Kitty called out as she sent out her starter. "Now, Moonblast!"
"PRIIIIIIII!" The Moonblast did the trick.
"The strength to protect...you are quite an impressive trainer," Lysandre admitted. "You have stopped my ultimate weapon, and also you have taken one step more towards your goal. Maybe...if my world had a trainer like yours, the path I chose could have been different….NO! Nothing can change me now! If there is a path to creating a beautiful world, then that is the path I must take! Even if it means I can only save a handful of the old world." Unsure of how to reply, Kitty just teleported herself back to the main room, not noticing Lysandre disappear.
"Such beauty…" Upon returning to his old world, Lysandre was surprised that the world was in the process of being restored by a strange blue creature with Xs in it's eyes. And yet….said revival was beautiful. It was unlike anything Lysandre could imagine. However, he soon found himself unable to enjoy it as he was confronted by a green and black wormlike creature….
"Freaking dash panels…" Emma growled as she entered the office. Inside was a blue haired man in what looked like a black outfit with a white vest over it.
"Who are you…?" The man asked as he looked Emma over. "It seems you are not a member of Team RR...My name is Cyrus. I would like to ask you one question. Is this world the new world?"
"It's...not your world if that's what you mean," Emma answered to the best of her ability.
"I can sense in you the strong desire to protect...something," Cyrus noted. "You have a powerful spirit...That must mean this isn't the world I desired. I used the power of the Pokémon that control time and space to create a perfect world, where the human spirit does not exist. That was when a great shadow appeared and engulfed me...And brought me to this world." He then noticed Emma's Rotom-Dex poking out of her coat. "Is that a Pokédex…? May I have a look?"
"Sure…" Emma admittedly wasn't sure about this, but Cyrus seemed almost curious about Rotom. Opening up her jacket, Emma let Rotom float out.
"Zzzt?" Rotom asked.
"Interesting...In this world, even the Pokédex is…" Cyrus was so impressed.
"The Rotom Dex wazzzz made to help trainerzzz!" Rotom declared before returning to Emma's jacket. Cyrus was oddly quiet for a few minutes.
"...I see. So you have a spirit as well," He finally said. "But it's too late...All too late. I cannot stop now. I must remove the weak, incomplete human spirit from this world and bring it to perfection!"
"I won't let you do that!" Emma declared.
"How foolish…" Cyrus said simply. "I will not let anyone get in my way!" With that, the battle began. Emma found that Cyrus was even easier than Maxie had been. Both his Honchkrow and Crobat fell to Lycanroc, while his Houndoom and Weavile fell to Mudsdale. Then came Dialga.
"Incineroar, let's show them how it's done," Emma declared as she sent out her starter. Who just nodded. "Now, Flare Blitz!" That quickly did the trick.
"...Why are you able to create such strong bonds with your Pokémon?" Cyrus questioned. "And how are you able to turn these bonds into strength?" Emma was about to reply, only for Rotom to beat her to the punch.
"Don't you get it? Emma izz kind to all Pokémon!" It replied before returning to Emma's jacket.
"...I see," Cyrus said after a few seconds. "...You need not worry, Rotom. I will not do anything to this world. I believe I shall return to the perfect world I created. But before that...take this key." He then handed Emma a keycard before pointing to a key reader on the wall. "Use it to activate the machine on the wall. That should open the mirror door."
"Thank you," Emma said earnestly.
"Had I met you sooner...would things have been different for me…?" Cyrus openly wondered. Emma didn't reply, merely using the key card to open the door and activate the teleporter. Cyrus just closed his eyes.
Upon returning to his world, Cyrus realized that the world felt no different. However, he did feel...colder. Turning around, he found himself confronted by two glowing red eyes.
Upon both girls returning, they realized that they had done everything that the grunt had told them. And since Guzma seemed to still be fine, both girls decided to head into the teleporter room.
"Emma, Kitty, look!" Lillie called out when she saw them enter. "The hidden door behind the mirror is unlocked, and now we can use the warp panel. I knew you two could do it! Let me heal your Pokémon first…"
"Thanks Lillie," Kitty said. Lillie blushed at the compliment.
"Now let's go!" Lillie declared as she pointed towards the door. Before any of the girls could enter, however, another man teleported in. He had green hair and was dressed in a series of strange robes.
"Well, now, what do we have here…? I come out wondering what the commotion is...only to find the door to the castle ajar and intruders running wild!" The man exclaimed. "It seems those team leaders from other worlds are not nearly as useful as I had hoped."
"Who are you!? Where is my mother?! You have not harmed her, have you?!" Lillie demanded.
"Mother, you say…?" The man asked. "I see you are the daughter of the president…"
"Lillie, stay back!" Emma ordered as she jumped in front of both her and Kitty. "That man is Ghetsis, the leader of Team Plasma! Or...used to be in this world, at least."
"I see you are intelligent...for a child," Ghetsis noted. "That is correct. I am representing Team Plasma. I, too, was summoned from another world, much like the other leaders you've defeated! There is no need to worry. You will find the president up ahead, blissfully asleep and dreaming.
"Mother!" Lillie exclaimed. She ran past Emma, only for Ghetsis to block her.
"Ah, not so fast!" He said.
"Please get out of my way!" Lillie begged.
"Unfortunately, I cannot let any of you go beyond this point!" Ghetsis declared. "You see, I have been thinking long and hard about the reason I have been sent to this world. And now...I finally believe I have the answer! My purpose...It is to travel back and forth between the worlds, freeing all Pokémon from foolish people...and at the same time, consolidate all the power in all the worlds to myself! In order to achieve this beautiful ideal, however, I have need for a useful pawn...And that man, the leader of Team Rocket, is a man of pure evil! If I can make good use of him, and set him up as a king, I shall be able to rain supreme above all existence! I have found that humans, with their predictable ambitions, are easier to use and control than a freak without a human heart."
"I won't let you do that," Emma declared in a stone cold voice, catching Kitty and Lillie off guard. Sure, Emma had always been the serious one, but she sounded downright stoic right now.
"It wouldn't do at all to have you get in his way, especially when I must establish him as my king!" Ghetsis replied to Emma's declaration. He then snarled. "Must you insist on interfering with my plans? Very well then...ALL OBSTACLES TO MY AMBITIONS MUST BE REMOVED!" The battle then began. Emma was easily able to deal with most of his Pokémon. Confagrigus and Bisharp fell to Incineroar, Bouffalant was taken down by Mudsdale and even Hydreigon fell to Vikavolt. What was worrying Emma was that each time she took one of Ghetsis's Pokémon down, he seemed to grow more and more unhinged. By the time she hit his legendary Pokémon, a Reshiram, he seemed seconds away from snapping. Switching back to Mudsdale, Emma was ready to protect Kitty and Lillie if anything went wrong.
"Earthquake!" She called out. Mudsdale launched the attack, finishing off a weakened Reshiram.
"WHAT?!" Ghetsis exclaimed. "I created Team Plasma with my own hands! I'm absolutely perfect! I AM PERFECTION! I am the perfect ruler of a perfect new world!"
"You lost. Now please, step aside!" Lillie ordered.
"Lillie don't!" Emma cried.
"This cannot be possible!...I will not accept this!" Ghetsis roared. He then rushed at Lillie, knocking her down.
"Hey! Get away from her!" Kitty snapped at him.
"Myah-ha-ha! No, no, no, no, no, no! You don't get it, do you!? I can't be defeated! I won't be!" Ghetsis snapped at both girls. "IT. CANNOT. BE. ALLOWED! You two! If you value this girl's life, throw aside all your Pokéballs, at this moment!"
"Y-you cowardly…" Lillie said. "Emma, Kitty, please! Don't listen to him!"
"Shut your mouth!" Ghetsis barked at her. Emma and Kitty then jumped as their bags began to violently shake. "What's this? Your Pokéballs are shaking! Could it be that they're shaking with rage? No matter! Throw away all your Pokéballs this instant!"
"As you wish…" Emma said with a smirk. She tossed down one Pokéball…
And Incineroar lunged forward with a roar.
"Wh-GAH!" Ghetsis exclaimed before Incineroar rushed forward, slamming Ghetsis into the wall and keeping him pinned.
"I see that you have not lost your touch with Pokémon, Ghetsis," Colress declared as he teleported into the room.
"Y-you!" Ghetsis snapped at his underling, only for Colress to teleport behind Ghetsis again once he turned around.
"It's been a while," Colress said in a tone that said it hadn't been enough. "Miss Lillie, it's good to see you again. We ran into each other in the lab, perhaps you recall?"
"Mr. Colress?" Lillie questioned.
"And Emma and Kitty! We meet again!" Colress greeted. "Ms. Wicke had sent word that you two may need assistance. You'll have to forgive my rudeness, but I followed your trail using an invisibility device I recently invented."
"It is perfectly fine, sir," Emma replied, a smile on her face as she recalled Incineroar.
"It seems Ghetsis here has caused you quite a bit of trouble," Colress noted as everyone turned to face the villain. "Although it appears this Ghetsis is from a different world than the one I know."
"Of course…" Ghetsis snarled. "The Colress of this world! But you should have no reason to meddle in my plans!"
"Oh, please...I simply despise you, Ghetsis. That's enough reason for me!" Colress revealed before activating something to send Ghetsis back to his world.
"What's this…? My body is being pulled…" Ghetsis then realized what was happening. "No! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" With that, he was gone.
"Ghetsis Harmonia, you are under arrest!" Ghetsis looked around and saw that poor excuse of a cop, Looker, and that inhuman freak, N, along with N's own dragon were standing in front of him. Behind them was an army of trainers. At that point, all Ghetsis could do was scream.
"It seems repeated use is not a problem, even with the prototype. I should have known Colress Machine No. 1102 would work!" Colress declared.
"Thank you for helping us, Mr. Colress!" Lillie thanked the older man. "But what did you do to that man?"
"I simply adjusted his dimensional 'channel', if you will, and sent him back to his original world!' Colress explained. "But Ghetsis is a man with power to match his ambition! He is not someone to be taken lightly. I can only hope that the taste of defeat will keep Ghetsis out of trouble in his world…"
"You doing okay?" Kitty asked Lillie as she put her hand on Lillie's shoulder.
"Y-yes…" Lillie shakily replied with a nod.
"But turning Aether Paradise back to its original form…" Colress continued. "With all the different worlds mixing together, that won't be easy, even for me!"
"I'm sure you can do it," Emma assured her idol. "But if you need any help, I'd be glad too."
"I would be thankful for that should I need it," Colress replied, causing Emma's knees to go weak. He then turned to the teleporter. "There is a tremendous power of evil at the center of the castle...If we remove that man's twisted desires, Colress Machine should be able to revert anything back to normal…"
"You mean Team Rocket's boss? If we can do something about him, everything will be fixed?" Lillie asked.
"Indeed, Miss Lillie! You are a very sharp young lady!" Colress commended her. "I would like to study the castle, however, so I leave the rest to you three!"
"No time to lose!" Kitty declared. Emma and Lillie just nodded and followed her into the teleporter. Upon their arrival, they found a man in a suit waiting for them. Lusamine was unconscious on the floor nearby.
"Mother!" Lillie exclaimed.
"Well, well…" The man began before turning around. "I have been informed of the intruders, but not that they were kids like you! I had allowed the other bosses to do as they wished, hoping they would be of us…But it seems you have defeated all of them. I am impressed you got here."
"So you're the boss here?" Kitty asked.
"Indeed! Team Rocket's goal was to use all the Pokémon and control the world." The man continued to explain. "But now, I have a bigger, better organization. Team Rainbow Rocket! And I, Giovanni, am its leader!"
Lillie then rushed over to her mother, who remained unconscious. "Mother! Are you OK!? Mother, please answer!"
"The president will not awaken for some time," Giovanni revealed. "I have used the power of that Ultra Beast to make her sleep...and when she awakens, she will be a loyal servant to my will!"
"What? How...how could you?!" Liliie asked.
"Money," Emma spat bitterly. "The Giovanni of this world only wanted money and rumor is that he abandoned his own son simply because he lost."
"And power," Giovanni corrected as he spread out his arms. "Team Rainbow Rocket will conquer all worlds! We will build an army of UBs! But in order for this precious dream to be realized, we need the technology of the Aether Foundation-the technology of other worlds!...But I also appreciate the skill it took you to get this far. I like those who show strength! Why not put that strength to good use, in my Team Rainbow Rocket!"
"How about you go to hell?" Kitty answered for both her and her sister.
"Ha! Of course that would be your answer," Giovanni replied as Kitty stepped forward. "Having a kid standing in front of me like this...Such a thing should never happen. But for some reason, it also makes me feel nostalgic. But if you insist on disturbing my plans, I will make you feel a world of pain!" Right off the bat, Giovanni was at a huge disadvantage. Primarina was able to sweep most of his ground types with ease. But Giovanni had a massive trump card. "Mewtwo, please deal with this annoyance."
"So it's not a ground type," Kitty replied. "I can still handle it!"
"Can you handle this?" Giovanni asked as he revealed his own Mega Stone. Kitty went pale as Mega Mewtwo X appeared in front of her. But she was ready. She wouldn't give up. "Mega Mewtwo, Zen Headbutt," The attack hit, but Primarina remained standing.
"Okay, Shadow Ball!" Kitty ordered. Primarina looked back at her trainer and put all her power into it. She loved her trainer and if her trainer had to win, then Primarina had to help her. Much to everyone's shock, it was an OHKO.
"Kitty, that was amazing!" Emma cheered as she hugged her sister. Suddenly, the room began to rumble.
"I shall step aside!" Giovanni declared, as if he didn't care he lost. "I hope we meet again…" There was a flash and then everything was back to normal. Emma knelt down next to Lusamine and injected something into her.
"Nihilego anti-toxic," Emma explained before Lillie could ask. "We learned that the toxins have some negative effects, so we wanted to be safe."
"Where'd the castle go?" Kitty asked.
"The Colress Machine has been activated, and it restored the mansion to its original form…" Colress explained as he and Guzma teleported in. "Which means...you've done it! You defeated Team Rocket!"
"Mr. Colress! And Mr. Guzma!" Lillie cheered when she saw them.
"Took you long enough!" Guzma mockingly said with a scoff.
"For trainers such as you, who can bring out Pokémon's power through your bonds, it must have been easy," Colress complemented. "The defeat of Team Rocket's boss seems to have sent everyone who had come with him back to their own worlds. As for me, I have decided on the next theme of my research! Well then, I hope to see you again sometime." With that, Colress left.
"Mr. Colress...He's truly a great scientist, isn't he?" Lillie noted.
"He really is," Emma agreed.
"Though he is also very strange..." Lillie had to admit.
"Ngh...where am I…? Lillie…? And….Emma?" Everyone turned to see that Lusamine had awoken.
"Madam Prez!" Guzma called out.
"Mother!" Lillie added in. Everyone quickly helped Lusamine to her feet. "Emma and Kitty defeated Team Rocket for us!"
"What!? They did?" Lusamine asked. "It must have been terribly dangerous…"
"They did! It was really amazing!" Lillie continued to gush.
"Well, girls, it seems you've saved the day once again," Lusamine praised both girls. "I am truly grateful. And Emma? In spite of what Faba has claimed, you were most certainly a smart hire."
"Thank you," Emma said with a nod. She then noticed a certain someone hiding behind one of the tanks. "And speaking of Faba…"
"Bugah!" Faba exclaimed in shock/terror. "P-p-p-president! I-I'm glad you're safe!"
"I still feel a bit busy," Lusamine admitted. "But...What of you, Faba? Are you unhurt?"
"Oh, yes, of course!" Faba declared a little too quickly. "No need to worry yourself about me, president! I'm just glad you're safe!" Lillie glared him down, Emma raised an eyebrow and Kitty crossed her arms.
"Mother! Mr. Faba was-" Lillie began, only Faba to cut her off.
"N-now, now, Miss Lillie! You must still be rattled from all the confusion and chaos caused by Team Rainbow Rocket!" Faba protested before Lillie could finish her sentence. But as it turns out, she didn't need to. "I would never do such a thing as betray the foundation and invite Team Rainbow Rocket in, just to advance my career!" Everyone was utterly dumbfounded. Finally, Lusamine sighed.
"Branch Chief Faba,"
"I...I'm sorry!" Faba wailed as he rushed away, most likely to go clean his office.
"So...he's fired, right?" Emma asked, causing everyone to laugh.
"Oh, girls! Thank you very much for your assistance in saving Aether Paradise!" Wicke thanked both girls.
"Mother is in the medical room now," Lillie explained. "They're running some checks, but it seems she is going to be fine. It is most likely the anti-toxin she and Emma developed. Oh, and about Mr. Faba…"
"C'mon buddy, I don't have all day," Nanu snapped as he led a handcuffed Faba away. The ex-Branch Chief just growled at Emma, who gave her a mocking wave.
"I don't think he will return to the position of branch chief anytime soon…" Wicke noted. "Oh, and before I forget! Here, take these!" She then handed both Emma and Kitty bags full of gold nuggets.
"NICE!" Kitty exclaimed. She could finally treat Hau to that expensive Malasada restaurant.
"I imagine Team Rainbow Rocket planned to use those as funding," Wicke explained. "They hid a whole bunch in the president's room. There's all yours!"
"Well, I'm just happy business is back to normal around here," Emma said with a grin.
"These could come in handy…" Scarlett noted as she grabbed the notes Giovanni had on dimensional displacement. The Team Rocket boss was unconscious and would be sent back to his own world in a few minutes, most likely into police custody. "Short sighted fool. Why split your time between several worlds...when you can fuse several into one?" With that, Scarlett returned to her world.
So, as much as I love this arc, I was a little annoyed that the villains get almost no karma. Yes, I know they are meant to be from worlds where they won, but considering that almost all of them basically destroyed their worlds, I felt like they should have gotten worse then just not getting to take over a second world. So, they all get their plans undone (or in Cyrus's case, Platinum's story happens instead). Also, Faba should have been fired and arrested. So now he gets that (also I just hate him). And surprise Scarlett appearance and more hints about what she and Mal are planning. No idea what is coming next.
