We almost there! Steelix tells Sam.

"Steelix, there's a curtain ahead! Watch ou!" Sam yells back.

I've got it covered! Quickly! Get off me!

Steelix bends down a bit and S.K quickly jumps off and runs alongside it.

The area around the curtain had been successfully cleared of people by the police. The police are stationed around the curtain, gurading it from other threats though of course, not able to guard it from Steelix.

We'll see if the curtain can stand my "Iron Tail" attack!

"CHEE-ROGG!" roars Steelix as he swings his tail against the curtain. His tail cuts through it like a knife through butter.

"AHHH!" scream the police as they scatter away from the Steelix and tumbling curtain.

Summoner! Go through, quickly! I shall meet you inside the Psychic dome!

Steelix then launches itself through the air in an arc and drills into the ground, disappearing into a long tunnel.

"Come on, S.K!" shouts Sam and S.K bounds through the tattered curtain.

The three Legendary Dogs follow with the Legendary birds simply flying over the curtain.

A big ruckus soon followed. The police try to stop the sudden intrusion but are easily detered by water guns, electric shocks and flame jets from the Legendary Dogs Ice beams, a few more electric shocks and some more flame jets from the Legendary Birds. The police are also stopped in their tracks by Lugia's powerful Psychic powers and the threatening beak and talons of Ho-oh. Sam and S.K run through the distraction and head towards the forrest fringe.

"Oh my! What a mess!" shouts Professor Oak in panic.

"Hey, that kid is heading for the forrest, with a Pokemon!" exclaims Ash, spotting Sam and S.K.

Ash then grabs a bicycle and gives chase.

"Wait, Ash!" shouts Oak but Ash is too far away or doesn't care to hear him.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sam and S.K are running through the forrest. Soon, they reach the fringe and spot the Psychic dome.
The Psychic Pokemon, realising it is the summoner, open a hole in the dome for S.K to run through.

"Wait up!" shouts Ash, bursting through the forrest wall as well.

Suddenly, the bicycle hits a stone and launches Ash right through the hole in the dome. The Psychic Pokemon however, manage to close the curtain in time and Ash, though inside the dome, has his right foot stuck in the sealed up dome wall.

S.K stops in the middle of a large field filled to the brim with Pokemon. Sam gets off and looks around in awe at the collection of Pokemon around her.

"Hey! You!" shouts Ash, behind her.

"Huh?" asks Sam as she turns around.

"Who are you?" Sam asks the stuck Ash as she walks towards him.

"Who am I? Who are AHHH!" Ash suddenly becomes unstuck and falls to the ground when the Psychic Pokemon open the dome again to allow in the Legendary Dogs.

Above, the dome is also open to allow in Lugia, Ho-oh and the Legendary Birds.

Ash gets up and faces Sam.

"What I meant to say was who are you and how come your Pokemon did not run away and how come the Pokemon let you in?"

'Because Ash, she is the summoner.'

"Lugia!" exclaims Ash as he faces the God of Water who has walked up to them.

'She is the summoner, Ash. A "chosen one" much like you were. There is not enough time to explain to you fully. The summoning must be perfomed now.'

Sam nods. She knew what she had to do.

Sam follows Lugia and walks to the middle of the field where the rest of the Legends are. The rest of the Pokemon have back away to allow them to perform the summoning. Ash follows behind, still confused by what is going on.

When Sam reaches the other Legends, she sees Slowking there with them. The green is gone from his face but he still looks slighty queasy. The Legends then back away as well, leaving Sam and Slowking in the middle.

"Slowking, I know they expect me to perform the summoning but I have no clue what to do!" Sam whispers frantically to Slowking.

"Don't worry, Summoner. That's what I am here for. Here," Slowking takes his shellder off and gives it to Sam.

"Wear it. It will refresh your memory and you will know what to do."

"Okay..." Sam is unsure of this and places the shellder on her head.

Suddenly, information gushes into her and then, she knows what to do.

"Thank you, Slowking." thanks Sam as she gives back Slowking his shellder.

Slowking wears his shellder back, bows and plods to the rest of the Pokemon.

Sam then starts the summoning.

Sam flicks her wrist a little and her mark glowed red. She could control her mark now. She sends the flame over the grass, burning the grass in lines that formed a large rectangle with semicircles on each of its four sides. The flame goes back into her mark and Sam walks into the rectangle. Lugia steps into the semicircle in front of her, it is the "small" side of the rectangle. Ho-oh steps into the semicircle behind her while the Legendary Dogs step into the large semicircle to her right and the Legendary Birds to her left. Sam takes a deep breath and recites the ancient summoning incantation.

"Child of the sky,
Child of the land,
Guardian of this world.
Answer now, when we need you most,
When you are the only saviour."

The ground within the rectangle starts to glow brightly. So bright that Ash, who is spectating, has to cover his eyes with his hands. Sam however, continues.

"Answer now, for the sake of your brethen,
Answer to our plea."

The ground erupts in shambles of light and a giant creature with no distinct form arises from the gound. Its entire body is light and it seems to shake and roar but because of its indistinct shape, Ash is not sure.

"You now, with no form
Shall be formed with the power of your brethen."

The creature only roars and sturggles more in response.

"The Gods of Fire and Water,
The Titans of the three elements of life
Shall lend you their power."

At this, the Legends each call out. Their calls aren't those of pain or anguish, they are the calls of...joy! Streams of energy and light flow from them and enter the creature. Eventually, they get absorbed into the creature itself. The creature roars again, with a faint sound this time.It seems to have a more distinct shape. Ash thinks it looks kind of like a cat.

"With the fire of anger in your breath,
With the raging rivers upon your back,
With the unforgiving lightning at your heels and command,
With the frostbiting ice upon your face,
With the power of the mind around your neck,"

The creature becomes even more visible and roars with a louder sound. Ash confirms it is feline and watches on as the creature blows jet of flame from its maul. Large, tough-looking water cannons raise up from a hole on its back. Ash watches in wonder as lightning and thunder clash at its back feet. A glazy slate of ice appears on its forehead and face, covering its eyes, if it had any. A mysterious purple disc with the emblem of the eye appears on tied with string around its neck.

"With the power of the earth at your feet,
With dangerous toxins to poison your enemies behind your back,
With lost souls at your beck and call,
With armoured hide upon your back.
With the gift of the Father Sky at your whim,
May you fly above your foes.
With the weapon of the Mother Land in your control,
May you create new allies to aid you."

"REEEWAAARRGHHH!" roars the creature, now fully formed but still surrounded by the shambles of light.

"Oh saviour!
Oh creature!
Oh Child of the Earth and Sky!
What is your name?"

The creature leaps high up and lands onto the ground without a sound except for the rustling of its fur. But when it lands, circles of light of different colours start to radiate outwards from where it landed. The circles of light go through everything in its path and as they go through Ash, he feels energy start to feel his body. The Pokemon around also get this feeling when the circles of light go through them. Eventually, the circles of light dissipate and stop radiating from the creature.

After the circles stop, the creature raises its head slowly. Sam freezes slightly as the gaze from the eyes it did not have pass over her. The creature finally raises its head to the sky and let's out a deafening roar that Ash could, eeriely hear words to.

"I - am - ELEMENTROAR!!"

All the Pokemon respond estically to his cry and cry out themselves. Ash and Sam gaze and listen in wonder as the Pokemon fill the night silence with their calls and pound the earth in jubilation...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exactly at that moment, the Digi-destined move out and advance towards the forest clearing at the foot of the mountain. They walk akwardly. Almost...mechanically.
