Chapter 53: A Battle with Nyx Part 1.
In the Void of Gauntlet, once they are outside the Hyperspace Hole, they find the person with the Giratina outfit in front of them.
"Thank you for coming. We've talked before. I was the one in Narra Town." She says, "I wish I can talk to you about the stuff, but this is not the right space, so I will wait for you further. But before I leave, I want to know, you went to the Dream Realm recently, so I suppose you should have a basic understanding of worlds, no?"
"Of course." Ash says.
"Good, then are you familiar with the folklore of Giratina?"
"We have a current Chosen of Giratina here." Dawn says with annoyance, and they know that they are referring to Lillie, who is still thinking that she is the Chosen of Mew.
"Oh, wonderful. That saves me some time. Right now, you are in the Distortion Realm. The place that is deeper inside the Distortion World. I will be waiting for you." Then she disappears.
Adam says, "So she has come to greet us, and then he left..."
"Brother, I think something is really suspicious." Calreath says to Adam.
"But we must move forward..." Nora mutters as they walk forward.
As they see the light in front of them, they are meet with a light, and they are inside a place with lots of stars and galaxies.
"Wait, this is the Pokemon Mansion!" Ash says.
"You mean the burnt place on Cinnabar Island?" Lillie asks. "But how..."
"This is the mirror version of the Pokemon Mansion." They see a boy standing in front of them. "I am ordered by her to stop you and get the crystal. The name is Luke."
"So you are here to fight us?" Emily asks.
"Me and my partner." He sends out Nihilego, much to their surprise. "Nihilego? An Ultra Beasts?"
"Ultra Beasts are made by Giratina, they are the loyal Pokemon to him."
Giratina appears behind Dawn and says, "Why did I create those things in the first place..."
Calreath says, "Leave this fight to me. I choose you, Manaphy."
As Manaphy appears, everyone just leaves him behind and then Calreath asks, "Luke, right? Why do you join HER?"
"Simple. She revived my friends so we can play together." He sends out the fossil Pokemon, Kabutops, Armaldo, Bastiodon, Archeops, and Aurorus. "Everyone bullies me for being friends with the fossils, which is why she offers me. Join her, and she will revive the fossils to me."
"I see..." Calreath says as he sends out his Politoed, Kingdra, Dragonite, Goodra, and Heliolisk.
As they go to the portal, they find themselves in the forest. "What is this forest?" Gladion asks.
"This is the Naragex Forest in the Vesryn Region, King Vesryn took me here once." Taen says.
"And I will be the one who stops you." This time it is a girl in the Giratina suit. "I am Insey, and my Pheromosa will stop you from moving forward."
Adam says, "Ash, you are the main character of the story, not me, so I am going to stay here and battle her."
"Okay, Dad, be careful." Ash says as the group of 10 moves forward.
Adam faces the girl and says, "The First Augur, it is an honor to fight against you, but I will help my sister to stop you."
"Your sister is she?" Adam asks.
"Yes. And she really cares about me, so I must repay her." Then Scizor, Beedrill, Volcarona, Wormadam and Golisopod are also out.
"Bug Type...even with my disadvantage...I am not going to lose." He sends out Hydreigon, Greninja, Bisharp, Tyranitar, Drapion, and Spiritomb.
The third place is the Cave of Origin. Serena says, "Now we are in Hoenn..."
"I remember this place is the place where Kyogre and Groudon had a battle..." Ash says.
Just then, a person steps forward and Damian asks, "Who are you?"
"Nate. And I am here to stop you with Buzzwole." As the Pokemon appears, Delia says, "Do we really need to fight?"
"We have to, it is her orders." Nate says. "Besides, I also have this." He takes out the scroll, much to their surprise. "That's one of the Mysterious Scrolls of Meloetta! Where did you get that?" Delia asks.
"I got it from her. So if you want this, you have to beat me." Nate says.
"Mom?" Nora is surprised as Delia says, "I will be your opponent, I won't let you hurt my son."
"Are you sure, Mom?" Zachary asks.
"Don't worry. After all...I am not as weak as you think." Delia says.
"So the Kanto Champion herself is going to fight me, huh?" Nate says. "It should be interesting."
"Wait...Mom? You are the Kanto Champion and you didn't tell me?" Ash screams.
"Oh, I am sorry for hiding that from you." Delia sighs. "But it is true. Cynthia, Diantha, and I are best rivals back then." She sends out a Charizard, a Dragonite, Mr. Mime, Lucario, Pikachu, and Meloetta. The three Ketchum members are shocked to see her Pokemon.
"Interesting." Nate says as he sends out Slaking, Blissey, Stoutland, Porygon-Z, and Bewear. The nine of Ash's team leave.
"Nate, what is your reason to join her?" Delia asks.
"She gives me a home after I was being treated as a lab rat back in the Team Rocket." Nate says simply. "And I will never return that hell if I work for her." Delia sighs as she knows that it is going to be a long time.
Inside the Pokemon Village, Serena says, "Now it is Kalos..."
"I remembered this place...it was the same place that I stayed after I lost my 8th badge...and that time Serena helped me get back to senses." Ash says.
"Really?" Lillie asks, then they see the female Giratina-looking person in front of them.
"Xurkitree and I should stop you here." The girl says like she is acting in a movie, and everyone's sweat drops at this.
"Why are you doing this?" Damian asks.
"I am here to stop you from moving on." The girl says. "I am Elline. I will use my broken soul to defeat you and get the crystal."
Nora says, "If you can stop my brother, but Celebi and I will stop you here." She sends out Celebi, Aegislash, Delta Maractus, Flygon, Florges, and Darmanitan."
"If you want to defeat me, you are going to play with my rules. All right! As a villain in this story, I, the Lightening girl will stop you." She sends out Eelektross, Zebstrika, Electrode, Electivire and Vikavolt.
Nora sighs, "You want to play...huh, then as the hero, I will stop you and your ambitions!"
The 8 people are now in the Unknown Dungeon, which is also in Kalos by accessing from the Pokemon Village, they see a boy standing in front of them. "So you left one person to face my sister, good choice."
"Who are you?" Damian asks.
"The name is David. I am your opponent." He says, "With Celesteela, you won't be able to defeat me."
"We'll see." Gladion says. "I will be your opponent."
"Brother?" Lillie asks.
"You guys go ahead." Gladion says. "I trust Ash to take care of you. Ash, if I see that Lillie is hurt, I will destroy you."
"Okay." Ash says as they leave him. Gladion sends out Umbreon, Lycanroc, Zoroark, Delta Blastoise, Silvally, and Crobat.
David says, "Your team is unbalanced, consider that you have three Dark Pokemon. I will use my balanced Steel Type to defeat you." He sends out Metagross, Steelix, Magnezone, Aegislash, and Ferrothorn.
"I don't care balance or not, I will still beat you." Gladion says.
In the sixth place, they find themselves inside the Thrifty Megamart inside the Alola Region. "Alola too?" Lillie asks.
"Of course, and you will not get further." They see a girl with the Kartana, who broke the metal shelves. "I am Flora, and I will defeat you guys. And believe me, I am the toughest one."
"I can tell..." Lillie says.
"Now who is going to face me?" Flora asks.
"I will." Emily says. "No, I will." Alice says, causing the two siblings to look at each other. Emily says, "Fine, we should work together."
"Thank you." Alice says as she sends out Froslass, Cryogonal, and Avalugg. Emily sends out Bisharp, Pangoro, and Persian.
Flora says, "I can see you take your Pokemon well, but, mine is better." She sends out Bellossom, Victreebel, Leafeon, Lilligant, and Tsareena. "After all, I was the styling princess."
"Oh? We will see, as daughters of a fashion leader myself, I am not going to lose."
In the seventh place, they reach the Pokemon Tower. Ash says, "And now it is Kanto..." Ash mutters.
"Great, why are we here?" Damian asks.
"I have no idea." Just then, they see a Pokemon standing in front of them, it is a Guzzlord. Behind the Pokemon is a trainer.
"You know, at first I wanted a Water Type Ultra Beast as my partner, but there are no Water Types, so I should stop you here and now." The trainer says. "I am Reisa. My dream is to get out of this world so I can become a Coordinator."
"Coordinator, huh?" Dawn says. "Then as a coordinator myself, I am glad to face you."
"As much I want to ask you questions, but a battle is a battle." Reisa sends out Milotic, Feraligatr, Swanna, Lumineon, and Greninja. Dawn sends out Piplup, Lopunny, Pachirisu, Mamoswine, Typhlosion and Togekiss.
"Ash." Dawn says, "Take him." Ash catches the Pokeball that contains Giratina. "Giratina? Why giving it to me?"
"You might need him since she will reveal everything." Dawn says.
"Then I'll let Mew go with you." Lillie says as Mew goes towards Dawn and helps her assist the fight, she thanks her and faces Reisa.
"So the Chosen are returning Legendaries, huh? I should have guessed." Reisa says. "Should we begin the fun?"
"Of course." Dawn says.
In the eighth place, they are inside Citadark Island. "Orre Region?" Serena asks.
"And now we have five people left." Taen says.
"And I am afraid that one of you is going to stay here with me." They see a person with a Stakataka. "I am Daniel, and I can tell that you are dying to meet our leader."
"Daniel, right? How many of you are going to stop us?" Serena asks.
"There will be 10 of us if you don't count Her. And I am the eighth." Daniel sends out Alakazam, Reuniclus, Malamar, Xatu and Gallade.
"This time I will be your opponent." Damian says as he sends out Shaymin, Venusaur, Metagross, Crawdaunt, Infernape, and Luxray.
"Damian, be careful." Damian nods at Ash's words, then the other five leave the place.
The ninth place is the Giant Chasm. Taen says, "This is where I found Kyurem..."
"And I will stop you here as well." The Female Giratina uniform person appears. "I am Helen, and Blacephlon and I are going to stop you."
"Blacephlon, huh? Is this a challenge to Kyurem and me?" Taen taunts.
"So Taen, you are going to do this?" Zachary asks.
"Of course, I am sorry that I can't go with you in the end." Taen says as he sends out Gallade, Goodra, Talonflame, Hydreigon, Metagross, and Kyurem.
"Interesting." Helen smiles as she sends out the Charizard, Camerupt, Turtonator, Pyroar, and Magmortar.
The final place is the Spear Pillar in the Sinnoh Region. "Spear Pillar is the last one..." Ash says.
"Actually, there is one more before you meet her." The final person appears. "Tox is my name, and I am the last line before you meet her. But she only requests Ash and Lillie to come, so I am sorry that the other two must stay here with me."
"It is fine." Serena says.
"Ash, Lillie, be careful." Zachary says.
"We will." Ash and Lillie then leave the place as the other two are facing his Poison Pokemon.
She is looking at the crystal that shows Ash and Lillie. "So they have brought Arceus and Giratina...this time, I am going to get out of this place and change the world. I don't care if lord Giratina disagrees, I will do it so he will be proud."
Then she sits on the throne and says, "Come now...Ash, Lillie."
This is going to be a three-part chapter, and I hope you like this. The next chapter will be the confrontation between Ash, Lillie, and Nyx.
