Pokémon Journey: XYZ

Paradox here guys and welcome to Chapter 84 and the first chapter of XYZ. So we are now at the final sega of Pokémon Journey and compared to the anime version, this is my version of how things are going happen so I'll explain everything.

First is this will be somewhat a co-op between the anime and the games so don't expect similarities in some of these chapters. One way I'm doing it is rather then the Megalith that Lysandre gains access, the Ultimate Weapon will take its place so you could already think that the hostile takeover will turn out very differently.

Team Flare will have more of a presence then the anime so this will be a lot action based.

Certain Events will be altered differently obviously.

Lastly is..well is not a change to the sega but this is something I've had on my chest for awhile. When I created this story, I meant to do a whole different way. Especially this new sega that plays much more symbolic. I meant this entire story to have a much more symbolical power,this sega especially will challenge that power.

Which is why and hear me out now: I WILL NEVER HAVE ANYONE IN THE MAIN GROUP ACCESS TO A MEGA RING OR MEGA STONES. At least not in this story. This is my Story and it suspose to stand by something. A symbolic nature and granting anyone in the main group access to mega rings or mega stones defeats that nature. I wish I could explain it more descriptively but I don't have the words.

All I could ask you all is put your faith in me. I promise you at the end of all this...you won't be disappointed. Okay that's all I need to say and I'll explain more about future chapters when they come. For now, enjoy the beginning of the end.

Chapter 84: A New Enemy

Thunder stirred in the clouds, the sky laid in a blanket of dark grey clouds over Lumiose Stadium. The crowds were quiet and not a noise echoed. On the field Diantha was in a battle box waiting for her opponent...whoever it was. In her mind now she felt defeated, in fact everyone in Kalos was. The past few days were hell and she felt shame of her past decisions.

Everyone wondered what was going through her mind when she made them. Almost no stood by them but they didn't show it. Diantha felt beaten, in fact Ash and Drake probably would question her as well, especially Drake. The referee was getting impatient but Diantha insists to wait it out until her opponent arrives. Even she was getting impatient and she felt ready to tear whoever her opponent was limb from limb.

Suddenly an echo escape her opponent's tunnel meaning someone was coming. Finally she thought but she still couldn't see who her opponent was. She swore she saw something finally move as it was a very well blended shadow slowly appearing from the darkness. Inside her mind Diantha felt sadness in her heart,win or lose it doesn't matter. Once this battle's over so is everything.

"So...this is how it happened...this is how it all ends."


Inside a big underground lab, Lysandre and Xerosic were overseeing an operation via video link. "Update status Bryony." Xerosic asked. On screen a woman's with blue hair, cyclops vision glasses, blue lipstick applied, a whole orange dress shirt and blazer with a blue tie on along with a tutu skirt and tight biker shorts and long knee high heel boots and orange gloves. The henchmen around her,men and women, were dressed in white dress shirt,black tie and orange suit along with orange aviators.

"We are entering the main chamber in the cave but everything so far cleared out. Are you sure it's hear?" Mable asked. "Scans are reading enormous energy buildup in that chamber. It has to be there." Xerosic said. "I would've found it by now." Another woman said through the com. "Celosia shut up! No one's talking to you." Mable yell through the com. "Both of you silence. Celosia,continue with recon and keep the line clear." Xerosic said. "If you're wrong about this Xerosic. You're gonna lose a couple of IQ points when I get back." Mable theaten. "I'm never wrong." Xerosic said.

Suddenly from the lake just up ahead of them, the water began to stir and a moment later a temor shook the ground beneath them. "We have a situation here." Mable called. Suddenly in an uproar and out of the water came a bright green light but illuminating it was a rather large Pokémon in the form of a snake screeching out.

"Target located. Contain!" Mable ordered her team released Houndoom while the other Grunts had Houndour and Skorupi with them. All their Pokémon fired Flamethrower or Dark Pulse straight at their target which impacted on the big guy. Unfortunately for Mable, their attack merely did nothing other then pissed it off which it was. It angrily responded with Land's Wrath building up a pulse into the ground below and finally unleashing an shockwave that decimated the whole area around it,pushing its attackers back.

"Mable? Mable call in...Mable respond." Xerosic called. Coughing through the smoke, Mable huffed out. "It used some sort of earth shattering move." She said. "And the target?" Xerosic asked. Mable looked over to the lake to see the giant snake gone. "Target's gone. Dammit." Mable groaned out. "Told you I should've handle this Xerosic." Celosia rephiled through the com. "Like you would fare any better!" Said Mable.

"Shut it the both of you!" Xerosic called. "Z's Power is immense and its strength is unbound. It is vital to this operation that its power becomes the key to Kalos's salvation. The restoration of a perfect society is our task and Team Flare's destiny." Lysandre called. "We understand Master Lysandre." All three called. "Celosia can you track it down?" Lysandre asked. "Give me moment." Celosia said as she used her cyclops googles to try get a reading. "I got it. Energy readings are placing it 2 miles East and moving." Celosia called. "Get your team and chase it down Celosia. We can't afford to lose it." Xerosic said.

"We're on it."


Not far from there, outside the forest, the group decided to rest before they continue down Route 18 to Snowbelle City. Bonnie played with the small Pokémon like Chespin and Dedenne,Clemont as always was tinkering. On a part of the field, Ash and Drake finish Aura training and moving on to Pokémon training, Rene and Serena were discussing Showcase tips.

A month passed since the gang left Anistar City and many things had happened in that little time. (The second movie happened in between.) "Great you really gotten the hang of that thing in three weeks." Drake commended on Ash's most recent gift: a Kali Baton Mk II much like the one Drake has. Since graduating to Knighthood, Drake rewarded Ash with his own Staff.

An ungraded model of Drake's original one with and extended reach and can also contract its length. The new electric generators on the top end of the Staff were much more resistant and controlling, the feel of the Staff was smoothed out to the wielder and the special steel fiber composite cable was doubled lined making it much more durable. The only downside to the new model all the added modifications made the Staff's weight much heavier. According to the head researcher from Silph Co. The weight of new Staff was 8.5% heavier then it's previous model. It was originally meant for Drake but before giving it to Ash, Drake asked if he was sure he could handle it and said yes, feeling that the weight wouldn't slow him down.

"All I could say is I'm finally glad to have one of my own you know." Ash said as twirled the sticks around. Luckily the Ash's Staff functions exactly like Drake's with the whole clockwise/counterclockwise schlick. "Don't get cocky with that. I still believe these things are more tools then weapons." Drake said. "I know that. I'm just excited about all this." Ash said. "That wasn't the case back in Dahara City two weeks ago." Drake said. "You had to bring that up. I already feel bad as is about that whole debacle. I wasn't even sure if Serena could ever forget it." Ash said.

"She was just worried about you and at worse what I would've done about it...I'm sorry for bringing it up. You're normal, you're fine and it's all in the past." Drake said. "It's funny...you were so sure that Hoopa was the one to bring Armageddon to Kalos." Ash said. "Because he's done it to an entire city in ancient times, can bring anything through time and space to it including Pokémon that it control of, and above all else...is really freaking annoying that third person voice." Drake said. "I thought he was...fun...ish." Ash said. "Sure you did." Drake muttered. "Just released your Pokémon." Drake said as Ash released his partners.

After Dahara City, Ash made sure to uphold his promise to his old Pokémon and switch out his Kalos team for a new one. The first a Fire Quill Pokémon,Quilava. The second was a shiny owl,Noctowl. The third was a crabby,six legged sea Pokémon,Corphish. The forth was a rather bulky Pokémon as strong as the land on its feet,Toterra. Finally his fifth Pokémon was a large red alligator with attitude and cool shades, Krookodile.

All five of them cried and listened for their trainer's orders. "Alright guys. We been at this for a week and we've been making great progress." Ash said as his Pokémon nodded. "Now the new Aura links can serve gallantly but that's one half of the equation. The combination moves will also surprise any opponent." Drake said. "I know combos can work but I never knew these would be possible." Ash said. "Think of it like those combinations Dawn and May did for their contests,only thing is that combos can also be used to dominate your opponent." Drake said as Ash agreed. "So let us begin."

On another part of the field, Serena and Rene along with their Pokémon discussed Showcase tips. "So with Fire Blast and Psychic,you were able to a sort of Fire Fountain." Serena said. "Yep,It's how I earn the crown in my Master Class. I'm sure you'll come up with something along those lines." Rene said. "Wasn't it risky?" Serena asked. "Very. Palermo didn't approve of it but I said screw that. Claims it was like playing Russian Roulette...she was right about it but only if you practice it perfectly." Rene said as Serena understood. "You know...I never noticed your hair started growing." Rene commented. Since cutting it, Serena's hair was growing slowly but since this pass month her hair went fro her upper neck all the way to the base of her shoulders. "Yea,Ash noticed it last night and he couldn't stop playing with it." Serena smiled.

"How are you and him actually?" Rene asked. "Well aside that little mishap from Dahara City, we've never been happier. Is it wrong for me to start drawing up wedding plans?" Serena asked. "No just don't set the date too soon if you're still in the middle of a career." Rene said. "Ash doesn't know but I've sorta started." Serena said as she showed Rene a white small journal. "Has he asked you yet?" Rene asked. "Not officially but a girl can dream." Serena said. "Well I think wait until you guys are at least eighteen and with money to fall back on." Rene said. "Noted." Said Serena.


The gang was all packed and preceded into the forest to Snowbelle City. Along the way, Bonnie and Dedenne were enjoying themselves when they saw a pile of leaves stacked in the middle of the road. Both jumped on it, causing a scatter of them. A few feet from them, Z saw a yellow bag on the ground and after running for dear life for twenty minutes,it needed a rest and took inside the bag.

"You guys done?" Drake asked. "Come on Drake. Let them." Rene jived in. "Okay, we can continue now." Bonnie said until Dedenne called for her attention. "What is it Dedenne." Bonnie asked as Dedenne pointed to a green blob like thing occupying its spot. Bonnie took it in hand to see it was around Dedenne's size, green, had a red hexagonal pattern on its chest, two eyes with one bigger then the other, no limbs other then only a small stump on its bottom.

"What is it Bonnie?" Serena asked. "I found this inside my bag." Bonnie said as she showed everyone the blob. "What is that thing?" Rene asked. "Must be a Pokémon." Clemont hypothesized. "If it is,the Pokédex should tell us something." Ash said as he took out his Pokédex.

"No date archived." The device said.

"That's gotta be a mistake." Ash questioned it. "Here let me try." Serena said as she took out her Pokédex to scan it.

"No date archived." The Pokédex respondes. "It happened to me too." Serena said. Drake tried the same thing with his watch only for it to repeat the same thing. "Whatever it is, it isn't registered in the National Database." Drake said. "So this must be a new species of Pokémon." Said Clemont. "That or its really good at avoiding Census every year." Drake said.

Suddenly the blob stirred and opened just one eye to see that it was in the presence of humans. It immediately felt startled and tried to get away from them. Having no legs,it hopped on its little stump,off Bonnie's grasp, on Ash's shoulder, then suddenly smacking into Serena's nose, and into Drake's hand who caught him. "Easy little fella. We won't hurt you." Drake smiled a bit. It gave him an angry expression and gurgled something but Drake found that surprising.

"Huh...is that the only way you could speak?" Drake asked which the blob only gurgled back. "That's strange." Drake said. "What is?" Ash asked. "It's gurgles as a way of speaking but even that would be enough to understand it via Aura link but...I don't know what he's saying." Drake said which surprised Ash men Rene. "Wait...so this is a Pokémon that don't know,know nothing about, and on top of that we don't understand what it says?" Rene asked. "That sums it up. This little guy a real mystery." Drake said. Ash and Rene got closer to hear it gurgle but too couldn't understand what it saying.

"That is strange." Ash said. "Mind if I see it." Bonnie asked Drake. "Uhh...just be gentle okay?" Drake said unrelentingly. Bonnie held it on its palm and tickled its belly,causing it squirms. "Ha Ha Ha. You're cute." Bonnie said much to the blob's dismay of being tickled. "I think I'll keep it." Bonnie said much to everyone's shock including the blob's.

"Keep it!? Bonnie be reasonable." Clemont scowls. "He's right Bonnie. We don't know anything about it, we wouldn't know how to care of it, and on top of that it's pretty it's not comfortable around humans." Rene said. "But I'll be taking care of it. It'll be okay." Bonnie said. "Let me check something." Drake said as he stood in front of the blob. "Hey...um...little guy,have you ever seen this symbol before?" Drake said as he showed the blob his Mark on his forearm. Unfortunately the blob shook its head no.

"It doesn't even know who Aura Guardians are." Drake said. "Forget mystery. This..thing is an enigma." Ash said. "Squishy." Everyone turned to Bonnie with the blob in her palm. "It's body is real squishy so its name will be Squishy." Bonnie said. "So we're naming it now? Well clearly there would be a better name then Squishy?" Drake asked. "We don't know anything about it. Especially it's real name...besides Squishy has a nice ring to it." Ash said as everyone seems to agreed.

"Alright,if the little guy prefers Squishy then Squishy it shall be." Drake gave in. "Hear that Squishy? You're being welcome." Bonnie said but Squishy wished for none of these in its expression. Suddenly they heard a rumbling from behind and turn to see a dust cloud form. "Is that." "A stampede!" Drake called as a herd of Dodrio running towards them. "Move over!" Ash called as the whole group attempted to dodge the charging birds. In the struggle, Bonnie lost her grip on Squishy which caused it to make a break for it.

"We gotta keep moving!" Rene yelled as the group tried to stay together. "Grovyle,stay close to one." The group heard a voice from behind as they saw a medium sized gecko,slender and with a red belly. "A Grovyle." Ash called as they heard panting behind them. There before them was Sawyer trying to catch his breath. "Sawyer?" Ash called. "Huh...Hey Ash,guys how you...all been." Sawyer asked between breaths. "Well we nearly got trampled by a herd of Dodrio." Serena said. "Really?...I'm sorry guys. I was trying to catch one of them." Sawyer apologized. "It's alright. Right guys?" Ash asked as everyone agreed.

"Guys, it isn't alright. Squishy's gone." Bonnie said as everyone was shocked. "What's a Squishy?" Sawyer asked. "A new friend Bonnie made. Well it couldn't have gotten far." Drake said. "We have to find it." Bonnie cried.

Out of the woods and into the canyon, Squishy continues to hop to freedom away from the group. A few yards out,Celosia and her team continue their search for Z. Licking her lips together, Celosia was getting impatient with her search. "Aghhh it's gotta be around here somewhere." She pouted. Using her cyclops goggle zoom function, she spotted movement and saw Z hopping away ten yards out. "Target spotted Let's move people." Celosia called. "Be sure to capture it. Don't let it leave your sight." Xerosic said. "Hey I'm not like weak sauce Mable." Celosia said. "I heard that!" Mable yelled.

Squishy continues to hop away from the key areas and jumps down to a lower ravine but unfortunately ran into another situation. In front of it was its former captors in the red suits with another leader in front of it. "You have been a very naughty thing Z but play time is over." Celosia said as she unleashed a Drapion before it. "Pin Missile." The giant scorpion jumped up and fired several green missiles straight at Z, immortalizing it.

"What was that?" Serena said. "An explosion?" Sawyer asked. "Caused by a move." Drake added. "Squishy must be over there." Bonnie cried. "And so are we." Ash said as they weren't far off from the explosion.

Another Pin Missile and Squishy could barely stand. "Now you won't cause us anymore trouble. One more Pin Missile should do it." Celosia said as Drapion fried another Missile barrage at Squishy. However another attack came and cancelled out the Pin Missile. Celosia thought Z retaliated but when the smoke cleared she saw a group of kids trying to protect Z.

The group saw and all thought the same thing excluding Sawyer. Drake in his mind saw a team of six people in matching red suits but the woman with purple hair and cyclops google appears to be the leader. "Stupid kids..who the hell are you?" Celosia demanded. "The people who are about to ruin your day." Ash rephiled. "Now who the hell are you!?" Drake demanded. "You don't need to know,only to stay out of our business." Celosia called out. "Guys Squishy hurt." Bonnie said as she caresses Squishy's body. "What do you guys want with Squishy!?" Ash yelled.

"Squishy?...please what you hold there is a Pokémon of absolute power. The key to our salvation." Celosia smiled. Drake looked at Rene who mouthed 'absolute power?' "So you want Squishy for something. And based off your matching uniforms,you all work for some kind of organization and you're an Admin." Drake said. "Well I wouldn't use the term Admin but...along those lines." Celosia confessed.

The group,especially Ash,Drake,amen Rene all thought the same thing and there was no other truth. Like Team Rocket and any other evil organization, here stood Kalos's own evil organization.

"Then it is you. You are the people who will bring the end of us all." Drake said. Celosia quails in her boots, how did these people know of Team Flare's goals? "Your plans will condemn us all!" Rene said. "I will not argue about this anymore." Celosia said. "Surely this so called organization must have a name...so who are working for,who's your leader!" Drake yelled. "All you need to is..you all will remember the Flare of Reckoning." Celosia said.

"So...Team Flare...I've heard better." Ash called. "I grow tired of this. Drapion use Dark Pulse." Drapion jumped and fired a dark beam of devastation at the group. "Pikachu use Thunderbolt." Pikachu stepped up and fired a lightning bolt at the Dark Pulse to cancel it. Drake and Rene took the time release their own Pokémon,Charizard and Del.

"Don't stand there like idiots,give a hand!" Celosia called as her team each released either a Houndour or Skorupi who then fired a Flamethrower or Dark Pulse. "Flamethrower/Mystical Fire now!" Drake and Rene ordered as both Pokémon fired red hot streams of fire simultaneously,causing all attacks to collide and covering them in smoke. "We gotta go now." Drake ordered. "But we can take these guys Drake." Rene said.

"They want Squishy and thus we have to protect it and keep it away from them." Drake said. Rene wanted to argue but frankly now wasn't the time. With all the smoke,the whole group made their escape back to the forest. Celosia and her team looked up pass the smoke but discover to see the kids along with Z gone. "Huh...That wasn't half bad." She smiled.

Back in the woods,the group took the time catch their breaths with Squishy in Bonnie's arms. "I think we're good for a few minutes." Drake said. "Drake we could've taken those guys." Rene argues. "Perhaps,but I was thinking of trying to keep Squishy away from them. They claim its the key to them." Drake said. "For what, we don't know what Squishy is or capable of anymore we know nothing about these people." Rene said. "I know, but we have to play this safe." Drake said. "If we play this safe we lose valuable time to learn and stop these people." Rene said.

I know, but we can't take these excessive risks recklessly." Drake said. "I just hope you know what you're doing." Rene said angrily as Drake knew the stakes so well on his head. "How's Squishy Bonnie?" Ash asked. "It doesn't look too bad." Bonnie inspects. "Even so, that kind of punishment I suspect it would be parch." Ash said. "But what will it eat." Serena wondered. Ash figured to take some Pokémon food out of its bag and offered it to it but Squishy refused. "It doesn't eat Pokémon food." Clemont said. Pikachu then figure to take an Oran Berry and offer it to Squishy but Squishy decline that as well.

"So It doesn't eat Pokémon food nor berries. We really don't know this little guy at all." Drake said. "That's gonna be a problem. How will we able to care for it if we don't what it eats." Rene asked. Fortunately for the group, that question was answered when Squishy saw a clear rock spot where the sun was shining. It hop to it and performed a scan of the nearly area,unknowingly to the group. What the group did saw was the little red hexagonal pattern on Squishy's chest glow.

"What's it doing?" Bonnie asked. "Of course, Squishy absorbs solar radiation to heal and energize itself hence why it doesn't need conventional means like food." Drake said. "That'll benefit us. So Squishy must be a Grass Type." Ash asked. "Like we stated Ash, we know next to nothing about Squishy so who knows." Rene said.

"Unfortunately we lost Z and we can't get a reading on it." Celosia said as Xerosic,Lysandre took a duality video transmission receiving video from both Celosia and Mable. "How could you...let it slips through both your fingers!?" Lysandre nearly yelled. "Forgive us Master Lysandre, but we had a small setback regardless Z." Celosia said. "How's did you screw up Celosia?" Mable asked. "I told you Xerosic to let us handle it and not sit here playing nursemaid." Two more women appeared on screen. One had orange hair with a cyclops striped googles. The other had green short hair and had large green square glasses for eyewear also technology advanced.

"Who invited you two sluts." Celosia called them. "This the one who let Z slip through her fingers." The green one,Bryony said. "That is if you're not always busy sticking your fingers inside you and focusing on the job." The orange one spoke,Aliana. "At least I have some fun then you clowns." Celosia yelled, causing the four of them to start arguing.

"ENOUGH!" Lysandre roared instantly quieting the room. "Now...Mable,Celosia...Whatever means, get Z-1 in your possession. We must move ahead of schedule. Bryony,Aliana you will move out and began searching for Z-2." Lysandre ordered. "At once Sir." All four said as the feed was cut.

The gang waited until it was fully safe and moved out. "Are you sure it's safe." Ash asked. "No but we also can't stay here forever." Said Drake as the group agreed to keep moving. Sunset was upon them as the gang figure to finally set camp for the night. "We should get dinner started." Drake said. The gang nodded as they released their Pokémon to prepare for dinner.

"Wow Ash are these Pokémon yours?" Sawyer asked as he saw his Quilava,Noctowl,Corphish,Toterra,and Krookodile. "Yep they're all my old parnters I've befriend throughout my Journey. "You must have a lot more then." Sawyer said. "Yep they're all at home in Kanto. I asked the Regional Professor there for everytime I want to trade." Ash said. "They all look very strong, especially that Toterra he's huge." Sawyer said as Toterra grunted back. "Toterra says thank you." Ash said.

"So how's many badges do you have Ash?" Sawyer asked. "I got seven. How about you?" Ash said as he shows Sawyer his badge case. "That's awesome that means just one more for you. I got five badges for far." Sawyer showed him. "Five that's fast. You must've been moving." Ash said surprisingly. "Yea, But because of your training and advice, I was able to earn these four." Sawyer said. "I'm very glad to help." Ash said. "Actually there is a place I know that very famous." Sawyer said. "Could you show us?" Ash asked as Sawyer nodded.

Huddle around Sawyer, who showed them a map of Southeasten Kalos. "Here it is. It's called Terminus Cave and its not far from here." Sawyer pointed to a section of the map. "I think I heard of it." Serena said as she search it up on her tablet. "I got it here. Terminus Cave is a famous place known to its great mystery of its purpose and that many Pokémon reside there,making it a perfect place for trainers." Serena explained. The next moment Squishy knocked Serena'a tablet off her hands and began jumping on it. "What is it Squishy?" Bonnie asked as Squishy looked down at the screen gurgling loudly.

"You know this place Squishy? Is this where you live?" Serena asked as Squishy nodded yes quickly. "If that's the case, we maybe able to learn more about you. Plus it isn't safe for you go alone with Team Flare out there. Allow us take you there Squishy,you'll be protected." Drake offered as Squishy seem wondering about it. "Yea, and we get to remain together the whole way." Bonnie laugh happily. Squishy however wasn't feeling reassured.

"Oh no." Drake said. "What is it?" Rene asked. "We got company." Drake called as out of the bushes came out Celosia and her team. The gang attempted to turn the other way but unfortunately another team of red suit blocked their way with a green haired lady leading them.

"Another Admin?" Ash asked. "We're not Admin kid. We're scientists." Bryony said. "That's probably worse." Drake said. "Not as worse if you kids don't hand over our quarry. Come on playtime's over." Celosia said. "Not a chance." Rene answered. "Well...you're all are not gonna like where this lead." Bryony said as everyone of them unleashed a Houndour or Skorupi. The two women however released the Drapion from before and the green lady a Bisharp. "I don't like our odds." Rene whispered. "You seem like the reasonable one right." Drake asked Bryony. "Got that right. My esteemed colleague over there mainly spent most of her time thinking about sex things even on the job." Bryony said.

"Okay! We did not need to know that!" Drake yelled while Clemont covered Bonnie's ears. "Now why are you getting up in my business. At least I have a life." Celosia argued. "Not a very good one apparently." Bryony yelled. As the two seem to argue, the three Knights thought up a plan. "Okay they're distracted so when I give the word each of us will take a side and use an Aura Shockwave to push them out. Once we're clear, we'll make a break for the clearing." Drake said as Ash and Rene nodded.

Each one took an angle as Celosia and Bryony stopped arguing. "Alright enough! Now give us the blob!" Bryony demanded. "How about this instead. Now!" Drake yelled as the three Guardians each summoned a Shockwave that knocked a section of grunts and their Pokémon including the Scientists off their feet. "Let's go!" Drake said as the group through an opening and running as fast as they can. "Stop them!" The two women yelled as each Grunt got up and got after them.

Streams of Flamethrower and Dark Pulse ran over their heads as the whole group ran off. "We can't just keep running." Ash said. "I know, I'm thinking,I'm thinking!" Drake answered. Squishy however couldn't take it anymore and jumped off Bonnie's embrace. "Squishy!" She cried. Squishy didn't heed and hopped towards Team Flare. "Contain!" Bryony said. Squishy however had another idea and summoned a sphere shield around itself. Then by a sudden flash, hundreds of green lights flash over to Squishy who absorb them all.

Everyone blare away from the bright green light as Squishy underwent a shocking transformation. Squishy doubled in size as it'd body grew long and slender,a tail form on its butt,and its head grew ears,a mouth with canine teeth. Afterwards Squishy went from a tiny blob to a green/black canine like Pokémon. "What the heck is that?" Drake's mouth dropped.

In its 10% form,Squishy felt empowered and limber. It barked loudly as it emitted a pulse to the ground as in an instant the land was diminished in the pulse's radius,seriously harming the attackers in red. "Retreat,retreat!" Celosia called as behind a blanket of dust Team Flare made their escape.

The group marvel and tremble before Squishy's new appearance. "Uhh...Squishy?" Bonnie asked. Squishy looked at the crew to see how they couldn't now understand this. It grew back into a light as several flashes of light went out of its body to places unknown and Squishy reverted back to its Core form.

"You are a thing of mystery Squishy. Thank you." Ash thanked. "Yea you save all of us!" Bonnie cheered as she held up Squishy in her palm. "Squishy,you do have some power we never saw coming. I now know why those guys want you, which is why if I know their breed well they'll be back. If you let us we can protect you and take you to Terminus Cave,away from those guys. What do you say?" Drake asked. Squishy felt the sincerity in each of their eyes rather then the greed that was with its captors. Plus they too probably fear its hidden power should they be proven false.

As a response, it jumped into the open pouch of Bonnie's bag, all of them all Squishy decided the little girl was the purest of them all,but as it jumped in Dedenne didn't feel glad to share its usual spot with it. "Well I guess this means we're Squishy keepers." Rene said. "I think it prefers Bonnie the most." Ash smiled. "That's great Squishy but Dedenne usually stay there." Bonnie said. "Not to worry Bonnie. I got just the thing." Serena said as she held up a sowing kit.

A fifteen minute sow and Serena sow an extra pocket into Bonnie bag allowing Squishy to have a spot for its own. "Tada, What do you think?" Serena said. "I like it,and I think Squishy likes it too." Bonnie said as Squishy was already resting inside her bag. "Well this has been quite an interesting day." Sawyer said. "Trust us Sawyer,it's like this most days." Said Ash "I imagine it'll be a lot more with those guys in red suits out there." Sawyer said.

"You're right Sawyer. I think we now have a new enemy." Drake said.


"We're sorry Sir but Z-1 has eluded us again." Celosia and Bryony said in front of Lysandre. "I do wish to know why you both have failed twice this day." Lysandre said with an angry glare. "It had some help. Look at our video cams." Bryony said as she and Celosia uploaded video for earlier in the day. On screen showed the battle with the group in the canyon,the battle later in the forest, and the last encounter with the group and Z-1 finishing them off.

Xerosic felt puzzled how did a group of kids fought Celosia and Bryony off but Lysandre noticed and focused on the three Guardians Knights. "You're telling me that Z-1 is now under the care of the three Guardian Knights that we've been observing these past few months?" Lysandre questioned.

"Yes sir,but there's more. They know who we are and what our goals are." Bryony said. "What!? How's do they know what our goals are?" Xerosic said. "We don't know. All they said was that our actions will condemn them all." Bryony said. "Do they know how we intend to execute our plans?" Lysandre asked. "Not that we know of. They never mentioned how." Celosia said. "Then it's safe to assume that they don't. Monitor their movements and don't engage without my order." Lysandre said.

"With all due respect sir, we nearly had them on the ropes if we had more resources and men we can take Z-1 back." Bryony said. "Your seriousness to the mission is commended Bryony but these people,these Knights can take on armies themselves. They did not engage you because they wanted to know who we are and our plans. It is crucial we don't give them any more information about us. Until I personally give the order, you and Celosia will only observe them." Lysandre ordered. "Wow it sounds so dysfunctional in here."

Lysandre and the others turn to see a woman with pink hair,red aviators,black top, bootleg jeans that were half black and half red on the front with a diamond pattern into them along with black low ankle boots. "Malva,how goes the community?" Lysandre said. "All quiet. The League doesn't have a clue what's going on and the my colleagues don't either." Malva reported. "Excellent so far we must keep the status quo." Lysandre said.

"I've been keeping their minds on other important matters,especially Diantha." Malva said as she looked at the screen. "But them on the other hand." She continued. "What do know of them?" Lysandre asked. "Only of their heroics around Kalos. You may want to download their trainer profile from the League database." Malva suggested. "Xerosic get right on that immediately." Lysandre ordered. "Why the sudden interest in them. Are they friend or foe?" Malva asked.

"I do not know...yet." Lysandre said.


Done guys so that is the first chapter of XYZ and I hope you enjoyed that. So I'm going to explain a couple of things befor I go. First is like this chapter and everything I've done, I alter some of Team Flare's members personalities that I'll explain. The ones that stayed normal to the anime would be Mable and Xerosic.

Bryony can be a tad too serious thus allowing her to stay focused on task or anything other matter. Aliana although on task can be a bit of a joker so she has more of a sense of humor then anyone in the organization. Celosia on the other hand is one of those who could combine work with some pleasure to it because...well you gotta be honest almost every evil organization you heard of has either a giant enforcer with a lot of muscle or a girl who mixes her work with pleasure so sue me. Lysandre is a bit more zealous and really believes he can accomplish anything that he sets his mind too,hence why he believes he can turn Ash,Drake,and Rene to the dark side.

Malva,rather then her anime counterpart is more of her manga character so any of you who read the manga she is an official Team Flare member who also a mole in the League to protect Team Flare. Trust me guys I think you'll like her this way.

One last thing and this is more of a fun fact: I looked online and according to sources and Team Flare is possibly based off the Nazis with Lysandre is based off Hitler,Malva is based of his love interest Eva Braun, and Team Flare attempted takeover of Kalos is possibly based off the actual Nazi takeover of France during World War II. It's all speculation evidence but yea, Team Flare could be based of the Nazis.

That's all I have to say and I'll explain more next time. This is Paradox signing off. Goodbye.
