Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon
Ash is currently on the submarine that is taking him and Meloetta in undersea temple. Meloetta and Ash are kept separately.Bag that contains Ash's pokemon are with Giovanni
"Boss, we got two lottery. One is that kid's pokemon and Meloetta itself." said James
"Yes, and his pokemon will play key role in taking control over Unova region. Dr. Zager prepare his pokemon for our operation tempest. " said Giovanni
"With pleasure sir. With our latest invention and with help of technology from team Cipher, we can convert pokemon in to shadow pokemon without keeping them out. We just need to keep all pokemon in special case and fill that case with special serum" said Zager.
"Once we get inside the temple we will start converting this kid's pokemon " said James
"How much time it will take, " said Giovanni
"Until we summon, legendary trio Thundurus, Tornadus and Landorus. " said Zager
Back in the area of submarine, Ash is inside the cage.
"We have to do something pikachu, I feel something sinister is going on, " said Ash
"Meloetta don't worry, me and pikachu will save you no matter what. " said Ash
"Mel" said Meloetta happily as all of sudden a shockwave felt by Ash
"It seems we reached our destination" said Ash
Dr. Zager and Giovanni step out of the submarine and started to put all of Ash's pokemon in the special container after adding containment seal on pokemon that will prevent them from escaping on their own and filled container with special liquid which is dark in color. And initiated conversion process
"Now bring Meloetta and that kid, " said Giovanni
"Hey, where did you brought us and where are my pokemon" asked Ash
"This is the ancient temple of Unova which was submerged under the water centuries ago. This is just the beginning of our mission to take control over Unova region." said James as Meloetta's cage started to float towards ancient rock sculpture on which a star is created. Cage disappeared as Meloetta fits in to the design. Ash is confined into electric cage and pikachu is confined to another cage. Jessie and James started to place special mind control device on pikachu's head.
"Stop , don't do anything wrong with Pikachu" said Ash as he received electric shock.
"Now Meloetta, let's hear some beautiful song. Do you want to hear your own song," asked James as he revealed a music box
"A music box" said Ash
"Yes, and we are going to play recording of Meloetta's song that she sang for you last night" said Jessie
"You " said Ash as he got electric shock again
On other side, Cyntia confirmed if Ash's mom, friends and professor Oak are really kidnapped or not.
"So are they safe and sound," asked Iris
"Yes, they all are safe. It seems team rocket played mind trick with Ash. They knew if they say that his friends and family member are held captive by them he will act according to them.If I was in Ash's shoes, I would have thought the same.
" said Cynthia
"They just wanted some time and they used false video to gain that time. Infact Ash's friends and mom are used as a bait" said Iris
"I assured them that Ash will be safe," said Cynthia
"Let's go, we have to save them" said Cynthia
Once song is complete, pattern on the floor printed on central platform started to rise and from within that appear a small mirror.Meloetta's eyes glowed yellow after which whole temple emerges out of water. Triangular structure opens up revealing the sky.Meloetta cry in pain
Back with Ridley ,he also feels tha pain Meloetta is going through
"Ridley are you okay" asked Cynthia
"No I am not, Meloetta in in deep pain and I can feel the pain as well. Meloetta is asking for help. " said Ridley
"Reveal glass, summon the legendary trio,Thundurus, Landorus and Tornadus " said Giovanni and as a response it emits a ray that begins forming a storm in the sky
which could be seen from far away.
"Oh no, team rocket is able to summon the forces of nature. We have to stop them, " said Iris
"Reveal glass sure has some amazing powers, but how did it submerged in the water, " asked Iris
"What you are looking at is Abyssal Ruin.
Long ago, an ancient society living there used the reveal glass to control the forces of nature with wisdom in specific scenario like when there was drought or any natural calamity due to which there is shortage of food or water. But people soon grew corrupt and began fighting to use the reveal glass for their own selfish ends. Meloetta, seeing the destruction being wrought by the conflict over the reveal glass, sealed it away by sinking the Abyssal Ruins to the bottom of the ocean" said Ridley
"Since team rocket got hands on the reveal glass, we don't know what could happen. " said Ridley
Three portals open in the sky over the Abyssal Ruins. Ridley recognizes the Forces of Nature as they descend, identifying them as Tornadus,Thundurus
and Landorus.
"I Giovanni , welcome you three, the forces of nature. Now reveal glass turn them into therian forme" said Giovanni as reveal glass rises in the air after which Meloetta also started to scream in pain. With burst of red light from the reveal glass, Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus transform into their therian formes, and as the light recedes, it briefly surrounds Giovanni's body and fills his eyes as well. Taking control of the ruins' power, Giovanni orders the Forces of Nature into battle.
On other hand Pikachu is under control of Giovanni.
" Dr Zager what is the status of twerp's pokemon," asked James
"They are ready and we all can command them now.This is testing of our new technology " said Zager as he open the container which released black smoke and relased one of the pokeball. They also released Pikachu
"Now let's see if we are successful or not, " said James as he released Ash from.the cage.
"Pikachu use thunder bolt on Ash," said James as pikachu released massive bolt of energy on Ash
"We got Pikachu, we got Pikachu" said James and Jessie in happiness as electricity hit Ash making him cry in pain
"Now want to see one more surprise, " asked Zager as he released Ash's charizard which is covered in black aura with red eyes
"Charizard" said Ash in shock
"Now Charizard, use overheat on him," said Jessie pointing to Ash after which Charizard stepped forward and released full power overheat attack. Ash looked at his pokemon in horror. Team rocket is using his pokemon against him. Overheat attack is racing towards Ash but stopped by Garchomp
"Garchomp use dragon rage," said Cynthia from behind as Garchomp launched dragon rage back at Charizard who stopped it using its own dragon rage.
"Ash you okay," asked Iris as she helped Ash in getting up
"Yes, but my friends, pokemon, mom and Professor Oak are not " said Ash
"Your Mom, Prof Oak, and your friends are safe Ash, team rocket used duplicates to use you so that they can get hands on Meloetta " said Iris that shocked Ash
"But they have my pokemon, they turned them into their slaves, " said Ash
"We will free them, " said Cynthia
"Now release every pokemon," said Zager as James,Meowth and Jessie released Ash's pokemon. All of them has deadly look on their face. Lucario, Garchomp, Gengar, Glalie, Infernape, Blastoise and all other pokemon that belongs to Ash looked at them with sinister look in their eyes,
"Legendary trio, show us your true power, " said Giovanni
"We won't let that happen, " said Iris, Cilan,Cynthia,Ridley as they release their own pokemon and ask them to charge
at legendary trio but stopped by Ash's pokemon. Cynthia's Garchomp is intercepted by Ash's Garchomp and Blastoise. Iris's Hydreigon is intercepted by Ash's Hydreigon
"Everyone , listen to me. You are good pokemon, and you don't have to listen to people like team rocket. " said Ash as he stood in front of his pokemon
"Ash be careful" said Cynthia
"Don't worry Cynthia, you guys stop legendary trio. I know my pokemon ans I have dealt with these kind of situations before " said Ash
"If you say so," said Iris as they all changed their target.
"Go everyone , kill that kid once for all" said James as Ash's pokemon walked towards Ash while charging their own attacks
"Guys we are friends, family. You can overcome the negativity team rocket put into you. Just look inside you and you will find the memories we shared" said Ash but its of no use as his pokemon fired their individual attacks which merged into single one.
"Look at that James, we finally got twerp's pokemon. His friends are now hungry for his life " said Jessie
All of his memories flashed in front of his eyes, one day ago he was training with them but now he is target of his own pokemon. On other hand legendary trio is over powering his friends pokemon.
"No I can't let that happen, I have to do something" said Ash as all attacks strikes him sending him crashed into the wall. Ash is lying there unconcious
"Ash," said Cynthia as her Garchomp got hit by aqua jet from Floatzel and air cutter from Tornadus.Battle between Ash's friends pokemon and legendary trio is getting intense.Tornadus and Landorus easily overwhelm Hydreigon using air slash and stone edge, sending him crashing back to the base of the temple. While he is stunned, Thundurus descends and prepares and launched an immense electrical attack to finish him off. Iris steps in front of the attack and took all attack on herself after which she fell unconcious
"Iris," said Cilan as Hydreigon who saw this started to get more trusty towards Iris and used dragon rush towards Tornadus.
On other side Ash's pokemon are walking towards him with sinister look. Pikachu fired multiple bolts of electricity. Garchomp picks Ash and raised him in the air and started to swing him. Just before he could slam Ash , a psychic energy covered him.
"Gardevoir use shadow ball," said Cynthia after which Ash falls on the field.
"This can't be happening, my pokemon can't be that evil" said Ash in slow voice.
"I have a bond that me and my pokemon share with each other. Some weird device
can't make my pokemon against me" said Ash he tried to get up. Ash's pokemon attacked Cilan,Iris's and Cynthia's pokemon
Charizard,Emboar,Typhlosion,Torkoal, Infernape all used overheat attack on Garchomp and Fraxure engulfing them in flames
Glalie and Lapras used ice beam attack on Pansage, Pikachu used thunder bolt on Emolga, Tauros charged at Bouffalant.
Bisharp,Lucario and Primeape are using their combat skills to full use and assaulted Cilan's Cottonee
Ash's friend's pokemon got overpowered and by legendary trio.
"We can't stop them.They are too powerful for us," said Cilan
Giovanni commands the forces of nature to unleash their true power, causing Meloetta to scream out in pain as the reveal glass empowers them further. The eyes of the forces of nature become fully red, and they knock all of their opponents into the ocean with a single onslaught of moves. They then activate their true power, combining their respective abilities to create a portal that freezes Undella Bay and a portion of a nearby city, where Officer Jenny wonders what is taking place.
"Now kill them," said Zager as Ash's all pokemon started to walk towards Ash's friends
Cynthia released her Lucario,Milotic,Glaceon, Mismagius, Spiritomb, Metagross and Magmortar. Cynthia's pokemon charged at Ash's pokemon . Ash's Lucario, Bisharp ,Primeape assaulted Cynthia's Lucario, Ash's other pokemon took their target. Pikachu targeted Milotic, Blastoise,Lapras,Feraligatr,Buizel attacked Magmortar. So it's a many to one battle scenario.
"Cynthia they are overpowering your pokemon" said Cilan
"I know, it's better than doing nothing " said Cynthia
Ash on other hand can't see this. He can't let his pokemon become a murderer so he stood up by all his strength and with all his strength,he ran towards his pokemon in order to confront them. Ash's friends ran towards reveal glass but stopped by team rocket grunts.
"All of you use your full power, " said Zager as Ash's pokemon launched their attack once again but Ash stepped in between Cynthia's pokemon and his pokemon as combined attack striked Ash. Power of combined attack is too high which made Cynthia,Cilan,Iris covered their eyes .Heat released by attack burned Ash's skin and muscles. His body started to bleed and there were multiple cuts. Heat of attack can be felt from distance
"Ash no," said Iris,Cynthia and Cilan in worry. Giovanni started to laugh maniacally
When Ash's pokemon stopped their attack, Ash was badly hurt, his body is completely burned with no motion at all
"We deafeated that twerp" said James
"Now with your friend out of our way, we can conquer the Unova region " said Giovanni
"This can't be happening, we failed miserably " said Ridley as his head scream in pain.
"Everything is over, I broke the promise made to Ash's mom, " said Cynthia in complete shock. Tears of failure started to form in her eyes.
"Ash," said Cilan and Iris with watery eyes
Ash's pokemon and legendary trio faced Cynthia,Cilan,Iris and Ridley. As per commands from Giovanni and Zager they charged their own attack to incinerate them. All of sudden bright light blinded everyone. A shining bright light fall on Ash's pokemon, dark aura surrounding them started to disappear as they started to become normal. With help of Cynthia's Gardevoir, Pikachu's mind control device broke as well.
"Guys, I don't think, this is not going in our favour," said Meowth as Jessie, James and Meowth breathe deeply
"Dr Zager do something" said Jessie but he can't do anything
"Sorry to say , but we lost control over them, " said Zager
When Ash's pokemon saw Cynthia they ran towards her. Lucario started to speak through aura.
"Where is Ash," asked Lucario. With her heavy heart,Cynthia pointed at the burned body of Ash
"No way, he can't be dead. How this happened " asked Lucario as Cynthia as she stay silent for few seconds before she explained everything to Ash's pokemon.
"No way, we , we killed him." said Lucario as regret and anger started to fill his heart
Pikachu licked Ash's motionless body, Meganium is griefing over her friend's death.All of Ash's pokemon that know Ash very well started to grief over his death.
"Guys, we have to take revenge and save Meloetta" said Lucario as Ash's pokemon nodded and they faced team rocket grunts.
"Charizard, Garchomp,Hydreigon, Dragapult, Pidgeot, Corvisquire,Staraptor, Swellow,Noctowl,Unfezant, Gliscor,Glalie you take down those pokemon. While some of us will assist you from ground" said Lucario as they flew towards the therian formes. Cynthia's Garchomp, Mismagius,Magmortar,Spiritomb. Ridley's Golurk, Iris's Hydreigon,Emolga, Cilan's Cottonee, Pansage all joined Ash's pokemon."My slaves, kill them " said Giovanni
All three therian forms glowed blue and beam of ice shot at incoming pokemon. All pokemon dodged attacks. Therian forme Thundurus launched massive bolt of electricity at Ash's flying types Pikachu jumped in between the attack and took full force of the electricity making his body over charged with electricity
"I am going to destroy the temple, " said Pikachu as he formed massive orb of electroball that is twenty, no fifty times bigger than the regular electro ball which
ends up obliterating the top of the temple, freeing Meloetta from its restraints and scattering Team Rocket.Ridely then catches Meloetta.
"Are you okay Meloetta" asked Ridley
"Melo mel meloetta" said Meloetta
"That's good to hear" said Ridley
"I don't need Meloetta any more. Forces of nature use full destructive power of yours and destroy these pokemon, " said Giovanni as trio gathered once again.
Ash's flying types flew towards therian formes but from portal massive thunder falls on them making them paralyzed. Once they are paralyzed they started to fall on the frozen ocean. Landorus then unleased its full power and used stone edge attack that pelted flying types dealing good amount of injury on them.
"This is getting insane, we have to do team work,everyone merge your own attacks and target them" said Lucario
Every dragon type pokemon present here launched hyper beam and dragon rage, fire types launched overheat, ice type launched ice beam, dark and ghost types launched dark pulse, Lucario launched aura sphere, bug type launched signal beam, fighting types launched focus blast, psychic tupe launched psybeam,electric type launched thunderbolt, grass type launched solar beam, water type launched hyper beam,steel and rock type launched flash cannon and hyper beam. Remaining pokemon launched their combined attacks which merged into one massive beam. From other side therian formes glowed and from portal in the sky a massive energy beam is launched which connected with combined attacks. Energy beam proved too powerful as it started to push attacks back
"Give our all, for our friend, trainer and family member" said Lucario as everyone glowed and pushed their attacks with greater power. It started to push back energy beam launched by forces of nature and eventually leads to explosion that sends shockwaves sending team rocket and Ash's friends skid backwards. Tornadus then created hurricane , Thundurus created lightning storm, Landorus created earthquake that started to destroy everything in their way
"Damn, we are still need more power. " said Lucario
Both Hydreigon, Garchomp flew high in the air and launched draco meteor. As Draco meteor falls on forces of nature they created barrier protecting from the attacks and launched ice beam freezing dragon types. After lots of struggle they broke free from ice block
Meanwhile Ash's pokemon decided to destroy team rocket. Gengar used hypnosis to put Giovanni to sleep. Tornadus used his air power to blow Gengar away and used dark pulse knocking Gengar on the field.
"There is no way we can stop them," said Meganium
"Never surrender, that's what Ash told us and we will ever surrender " said Ash's pokemon as they stood back. Flying and dragon types charged at the trio and evaded any attacks that trio send at them.Charizard eveaded thunder and launched fire blast on Tornadus, Gliscor used stone edge on Thundurus, Garchomp used dragon rush on Landorus, Hydreigon used tri attack on Landorus as well. Pidgeot and other bird pokemon used brave bird on Landorus knocking it on the ice field.
From below Thundurus,Landorous and Tornadus become target of
poison, ghost,rock, ice,water,electric , psychic,fire,grass,steel and normal type attacks which made able to crash on surface of the ocean.
"Everyone, lets keep Giovanni off that platform, " said Cilan as grass type used vine whip which intercepted by Jessie and James's pokemon. Gengar, Claydol,Kirlia used psychic energy to levitate team rocket and kept them away from the platform.Once they did that, Giovanni no longer has control over forces of nature.
"Everyone fire your powerful attacks" said Ash's pokemon as Gengar levitated Zager,Jessie,James,Giovanni and Meowth in the air and then used combine attacks that made their skin burn as well, making them unable to move.
"This shows that never mess with the twerp," said James
"Shutup you too" said Giovanni as he scream in pain.
"Meloetta we have to make everything normal, let's go" said Ridley as Meloetta is still sad on Ash's death. Ridley returns the reveal glass to its pedestal
"Reveal glass, grants me a wish to calm rage of the forces of nature and turn them back into their incarnate forme " said Ridley.The Reveal Glass releases a gentle light that wraps around Meloetta as themythical Pokémonbegins to sing. Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus calm down and stop fighting, then approach the reveal glass, which turns them back to their incarnate formes. Landorus, Tornadus and Thundurus then made everything normal.
Ash's pokemon are now sat beside his dead body, they are not sure what they will do next. Without their trainer they feel helpless, not willing to live anymore. Iris,Cilan,Cynthia, Ridley and Meloetta also available there.
"You tried your best Ash, you are a true warrior " said Ridley. All of sudden time stopped and Arceus landed in front of Ash. Arceus placed his hoof on Ash's body after which he started to glow white, all wounds, cuts and burn marks are started to heal. Few minutes later Ash is back to normal. He groaned in pain as his body can feel the pain of the attacks, apart from that everything was okay. Once Ash get back to life, Arceus disappeared and time started to flow back once again.
"Mom, Pikachu" said Ash in weak voice as his body still feeling the pain of the attacks
"Ash," said everyone in shock
"What happened guys, and where are forces of nature. We have to save Meloetta" said Ash as he grabbed his head
"It hurts, why I am feeling like I was out. All I can recall is my pokemon are under team rocket's control. I have to save my pokemon," said Ash as he stood back
"Pika" said Pikachu as he jumped in Ash's arm
"Ash we are safe now," said Lucario via aura
"I am happy guys you are okay. But how did that happen, how did you get free from team rocket's control ," asked Ash
"Where is team rocket," asked Ash
"They are there ," said Cynthia pointing at burned body of Giovanni,Dr. Zager, Jessie ,James and Meowth
"What happened to them," asked Ash
"Ash when your pokemon are out of their control, I told them and just because of them they become evil and you were hurt, so to give them the same treatment they fired combined attacks which burned them." said Cynthia
"Serves them right. They need to taste their own medicine." said Ash as his pokemon started cry over their brainless act
"Guys, don't worry. You were under their control. You were not fully aware for your actions." said Ash as new pokemon that he aquired four days ago become sad as well.
"Where are pokeballs" asked Ash as he started to find them. Once Ash got all his pokemon balls then he recalled his pokemon and put them in the bag. Cynthia, Iris, Cilan recalled her their pokemon as well
"Let's put them behind the bars," said Ash as all of sudden multiple smoke balls fall from the sky after which team rocket and Dr. Zager escaped successfully
"We will meet once again Ketchum," said Giovanni as he can be seen entering the airplane
"They escaped," said Cilan
"Let them go, we will arrest them leter on" said Cynthia
"Ash you have to train for the league right" said Cynthia
"Yes," said Ash
"Guys let's go to the villa. Ridley you come with us and have some rest" said Cynthia to which he nodded
Next day Ridley and Meloetta are ready to departure for their hidden place
"Meloetta we will miss you " said Ash
"Yeah, the time we spent together is unexplainable. Ridley be safe , people like team rocket are everywhere " said Cynthia
"Sure. I thank you once again for helping me in Meloetta's rescue," said Ridley
"Bye Meloetta," said Ash as Ridley and Meloetta took off towards their home
"We failed, our mission was a complete failure " said Giovanni in anger
"But boss, we were able to capture twerp's pokemon." said James
"Yeah, those pokemon that kid has under his ownership.They are quite powerful.If those pokemon are in under our ownership we would be strong but what next. He will stop us again and his pokemon will break free from our control once again" said Giovanni
"Let's make new plan, we will attack him after the pokemon league" said Giovanni
"So Ash where are you planning to go next, since you have more than five months to train for the league, " asked Cynthia
"I am planning to train hard before the league." said Ash
"So where are you planning to go," asked Cynthia
"I will go back to Kanto first, and post that I will decide" said Ash
"That's great," said Cynthia
"Professor Oak's ranch is quite big, and my pokemon will be happy there," said Ash
"Sounds good" said Cilan
"Ash I am going to my home tomorrow, will you come with me before you head back to your home," asked Iris
"Sure before that I have to send my pokemon back to Kanto " said Ash
Few minutes later Ash is on battlefield where he is addressing his pokemon
"Guys I will be sending you back to Kanto region. I will come back home after a week, so till then you can enjoy. I want you all to give a break. " said Ash
"Dratini, Tyrunt, Dragapult,Duraludon, Zorua, Bergmite, you guys don't need to be worry. You will be safe there. Are you ready to go" asked Ash to which they nodded
"Lapras are you okay with going back to Kanto too. There is a big lake where you can swim all day" said Ash
"Yes, I am okay with this. Also I am sorry for hurting you" said lapras"Come on, that was the thing of the past. We have to train hard.We will start when I am back to kanto" said Ash
"Also those who are new to my team I wanto tell you that if you see these three people, then don't attack them.One is my mom, and other two are Prof. Oak who will take care of you, and this one is Tracy and his is my friends. Chances are that he may try to draw your sketch. So don't attack them okay" said Ash to which they nodded
