Chapter 50: The Final Temple

Ash and Alice are now finally at the Rainbow Reef, with the Snorkel that was given in Sario Town, they can use it to dive underwater and find the Sea Temple. And just as they thought, Gloria and the other two grunts are there as they are trying to find the Sea Stone, which is actually in Ash's hands this whole time.

"Miss Gloria, there is no Sea Stone in the temple." The female grunt says with a shake of her head.

"What?" Gloria grits her teeth with frustration. "Damn it. Don't tell me that the Team Lunar have them already? But that's impossible, they don't know where the temple is! And why didn't our spy respond to us?"

"Maybe she was being kidnapped by Team Lunar Grunts!" The male grunt asks, "What should we do?"

Gloria says, "So far we know that Team Lunar has one Earth Stone, and the other three are missing...we don't know if they have them.." But then she turns around and the male grunt says, "Miss Gloria, we have company!"

"Oh?" Gloria says as she recognizes the two people, they were last seen with her Aunt Amber on top of Mt. Highpoint, and in the Ancient Pass where her mother managed to get the Order Crystal. "Ahaha! It's you, I should have known...Well, well, well, are you here for the Sea Stone as well?"

"And what if we are, we can't let you take them for the sake of our own Rikoto Region." Alice says.

The male grunt turns to Gloria and asks, "Should we take care of this, Miss Gloria?"

"Please do, I don't have the patience or time to waste! I need to go find those Team Lunar people to get what is ours back." Gloria says as she sends out Colbolta. "Flash!"

Colbolta growls as it creates a giant light, and after blinding Ash and Alice for a while, they see that Gloria has already left.

"Now this is where you end. Team Solar will always win!" The two grunts send out Giraflame and Tapiblaze, which is the evolution of Tapire. Ash and Alice use their own Bunnic to battle, and after defeating the two of them, Bunnic evolves into a bigger hare Pokemon.

Artichare: The Bunny Pokemon: Ice and Fairy Type. Evolved from Bunnic with High Friendship. The fur on Arctichare insulates heat, protecting Arctichare from the unbearably harsh climate. They use their strong ears to throw snowballs at passersby for fun.

After their other Pokemon are also beaten, the grunts just recall their Pokemon and say nothing. "It doesn't matter if we win or lose." "The plan isn't stop and our plans to release Solaran will come to fruition."

As they leave with the move Flash by their own Pokemon, Rodney also arrives at the scene and he says, "'puff, puff' Ash, Alice, did they manage to get the stone in time?"

"Are you forgetting that back in the Sailport Town, we already have the Sea Stone with us?" Alice says. "But we did battle them and they just ran away."

"They got away again... I guess we should head back to Sario Town to tell Professor Pinewood what has happened. But first, let me heal your Pokemon."

Ash and Alice have their Pokemon given to Rodney as he heals them up, after that, he says, "Let's go out of this underwater cave and fly back to Sario Town."

"But wait." Ash says, causing the two to get confused. "I have something to ask here in the temple."

As they enter the sea temple, they see Searine sitting on a pedastol. She says, "You have finally arrived. I have been waiting for you."

"No way..." Rodney gasps, "It's the Legendary Pokemon Searine..."

Ash says, "Searine, the Sea Stone is safe in our hands, Team Solar was here, but they didn't get it."

"That is good." Searine frowns. "But still, even if the stones are in your hands, their awakening is not going to fail. Solaran and Lunaro will still come into the world and battle."

Ash the other two gasp as Ash asks, "What should we do?"

"The Balance Crystal." Searine says, "You have to wake it up the same way as Solaran and Lunaro. It is our only hope."

"Okay." Ash says as he captures the final Legendary of the 5 temples. Rodney asks, "Did you just capture her? A Legendary Pokemon?"

Alice says, "In fact, Ash already has all 5 of them with him. Terradon, Aethera, Tigacore, Tornadowl and now Searine."

"Seriously? With these, you can win the League with ease!" Rodney says with a gasp.

"I know." Ash says. "But right now we should go back to Sario Town."


As they get back to Sario Town, they tell the Professor about the news, "I see, so they ran away...well, you tried to stop them, so it wasn't your fault...So they still don't know about the three stones in Ash's hand. I guess that there is no signal transmission underwater, which is why you couldn't have told me sooner."

"But they still got away and we weren't able to capture them." Alice says.

"Their plans still won't work without all five stones together, so all is not lost..." Pinewood says.

"Sorry, Professor...But what should we do now?" Rodney asks.

"Well, we are still doing research here, so there is not much for you to do here, so carry on with your journey, if I need you or find out anything new, I'll call you." Pinewood says.

"Okay, professor, just call us if we're needed." Rodney turns to Ash and Alice, "Well, we should go to Subhail City, we're so close to getting into the Pokemon League. Let's do it."

"Sure." Alice says with a determined smile. "But you have to get through me, and I am quite strong with Ash helping me a lot in the battles."

"We will see about that, I am pretty sure that I can beat you without a problem." Ash says as they bid farewell to Professor Pinewood and leaves Sario Town.


At the same time, Delia and Red are back on their Sevestar Island, Elena, Wade, Reisa, Gina, Mark, Insey, Alex and Becon are also there as Delia has called them to come. They learned about the news of the murderers of Ash's Pokemon are heading to the Rikoto Region with the help of Alice's bullies back in the school. Wade says, "So what are we going to do with those evil people?"

Delia says, "For now, if they know Ash and Alice are here, they might be hindering their challenge in the Rikoto League. We have to stop them from getting closer to the region, and there is only one thing we can do."

"And what will that be, Ms. Ketchum?" Becon asks.

Delia closes her eyes and she says, "Since they are traveling by boat, and we can just create a storm to stop them from getting closer."

"Are you sure that a storm will be a good idea?" Mark asks, "What if they try to get past the storm without any problem?"

"That's right, they are desperate to hide here ever since the Police are trying to arrest them for killing Ash's Pokemon as well as Professor Oak." Gina says. "I don't think a storm will stop them from getting close to the island..."

"That might be true..." Delia frowns, and Red says, "I think I have an idea, what if we hide the region from their sight?"

"How are we going to hide the region? I mean...this Rikoto Region is very big and I don't think we will be able to hide them." Elena says to her father.

"We created this region so that we can have a lot of fun. I think that if we want to hide the island, we have to create a mist that makes them lose their direction." Red says.

"A mist that makes them lose direction? Can you explain it some more? Since I do not quite understand what you mean." Insey asks.

Delia says, "I know what your father means. We can use the mist as a decoy to switch their direction of the ship so that they will be sending back to the Kanto Region or even Alola, or other else. In other words, they won't be able to get here for an amount of time."

"I see." Valerie says. "That may be a good choice."

"But what if the mist isn't able to block them from getting here?" Reisa asks. "With the help of Compasses or even their wireless communication, I don't think that they will get lost..."

"We have no time to think about this." Delia says, "We need to do it as soon as possible. If what you said happens, then we will need to have a plan B."

Then Red and Delia start to use their powers to create the mist, and the mist causes the ship to lose its direction. On the ship, Misty says, "Hey, where did this mist come from?"

"I don't know, but I can't see anything." Max says.

Ark asks, "Belle, what about the compass?"

Belle says, "It is broken due to the mist, and the water in the mist causes it to break."

"Damn it, what should we do?" Corey asks.

"We have to get out of the mist and we can only pray for our luck." Brock says as they stir the ship, but what they don't know is that they have turned the ship around and sail forward.

Delia and Red smirk at the success as they go back to the island. Delia says, "Now we have delayed their time, what's next?"

Red says, "We have to watch it until Team Solar and Team Lunar are stopped. Will you guys help us?"

"You bet. But I don't think we are enough to stop them and their plans." Alex says.

"How about we also call the Gym Leaders and the rest of the Elite 4 for help?" Wade asks, "I mean...they are strong trainers and they are capable of helping us as well."

"That sounds like a good idea. The Rikoto is a region that they like, and they won't like some evil groups like Team Solar and Team Lunar to destroy what they work hard for." Red says.

"But how are we going to stop them? Does anyone have a plan?" Gina asks, and Red says, "How about we discuss it for a little?"

Then as the others are discussing, the ones who were hypnotized are watching them from afar, and Bonnie says, "Even though Ash's father told us that we don't need to worry...but I still think that this Team Solar and Team Lunar are dangerous..."

"Yeah, but what can we do now since we really can't help them with our condition." Dawn says. "They are the Gym Leaders, Elite 4, and even powerful trainers that we weren't able to beat, so we really can put our faith in them."

"That may be true..." Serena says, "But all I want is to give those people who controlled us their own medicine."

"Me too, they made Ash hate us and there is no way they are going to get out of this." Lillie adds, and the others can only sigh at how scary those girls are especially since they had feelings for Ash and it was broken because of those traitors and their evil greed.


Now that Ash has the fifth Legendary, what will he do in the snowy area? And now that the traitors aren't coming to Rikoto for a short amount of time, what is going next?
