Chapter 16: vs. Mecha King Ghidorah
Ruby and Sapphire are still holding onto the Relicanth, diving deep into the sea to reach Manda's prison. "How much longer until we're there…?" asks Sapphire, who is getting impatient. "I don't know…" says Ruby. "But my hands are getting tired…"
"No! Don't lose your grip! Or you will be drowned in the depths of the sea!"
Meanwhile, on the surface… Megalon is standing in front of Mecha King Ghidorah, getting ready to face him.
"There is no way that insect can defeat Mecha King Ghidorah," says the Xilian leader. "Ghidorah is plated with a special kind of space diamond armor which absorbs all kinds of beam attacks. The absorbed attacks will be stored into the middle mechanical head, and then it will unleash all the absorbed energies as a big powerful blast that can demolish anything!"
"Megalon begins the battle by blasting MKG with a lightning blast. When the bolt hits MKG, instead of seeing sparks fly, the bolt seems to go inside the mechanical monster. Nevertheless, Megalon continues to shoot him with thunderbolts.
"It's no use," says the leader. "You're only giving him more power!"
All of MKG's three heads let loose a blast of Gravity Beam at Megalon. The blast was so powerful that Megalon was sent flying backwards! Megalon gets back up runs at MKG while spitting napalm bombs at him. A series of explosion follows when the bombs hit the monster. Megalon stands still, being very sure that the cyborg has been blast into bits, but he was wrong when the smoke clears and the cyborg is still standing there!
MKG walks to Megalon and bites him with all three heads. When bitten, a surge of electricity is passed into Megalon's body, electrocuting the guardian insect badly. MKG, with his enormous strength, lifts up Megalon with his heads and hurls him towards some untouched buildings. Megalon smashes onto the buildings and lies face flat on the ground. MKG then destroys the surrounding buildings, causing the rubbles to fall on top of Megalon and completely burying him.
"Wow!" exclaims Archie. "Ghidorah defeated the giant bug!"
The leader smiles evilly. "Yes, and now to unleash King Ghidorah onto the world and destroy everything! Nothing in this world will survive! Nothing, I repeat, nothing!"
"And don't forget about my wish," Archie reminds him.
"Who cares about your wish?"
"What! I thought you said you will help me flood the world with water!"
"I did said that, but I didn't say I will surely do it."
"You liar!"
"Call me a liar if you want. If you're not pleased, then you can leave quietly.
Enraged, Archie got up to leave the room, but when he got near the door, the floor below him opens and he falls in. "This entire planet will be a lifeless place soon enough!" says the leader.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!" screams Archie as he falls into a dark room, and then slams onto the floor. "Ouch… That hurts… Where am I…?" He sees the gym leaders being trapped in the corner by a horde of Zillas. "Oh, I'm in the baby's room,"
"Walrein! Use Absolute Zero at once!" Wallace commands the walrus Pokemon. Walrein's eyes flash in a blinding blue light. The others had to cover their eyes because it stings. When the light dims down, the Zillas in front of them are frozen solid. "Wow! That was cool!" exclaims Brawly, who walks up to a frozen Zilla and touches it lightly, causing the frozen saurian to shatter into more than a million pieces.
Another Zilla is still alive, and upon seeing that his siblings are deadi, he charges angrily at the gym leaders. "Slaking, use Hyper Beam," Norman tells the lazy Pokemon. Slaking opens his mouth and fires out a yellowish beam at the baby Zilla. The beam hits the monster and pushes it all the way to the wall on the back. When the beam collides with the wall, it creates a massive explosion. When the smoke clears, there is a big hole on the wall leading to the outside. The Zilla is nowhere to be seen, so it is assumed that it is blasted into pieces.
"Let's get out of here first!" says Flannery. "I don't want to stay here anymore!" The other gym leaders agreed and they all runs outside through the hole on the wall. Archie, who had been watching from the corner, also follows them outside.
When they got outside, they saw Mecha King Ghidorah trampling through the remains of Mossdeep City. "Oh no!" cries Liza. "My hometown is destroyed!"
Suddenly, the sea flashes in a bright blue light, followed by a black mountain emerging from the sea. "It's Godzilla!" cries some random passerby.
Godzilla roars and walks onto the shore of Mossdeep City. He looks around confused at the destroyed city, wondering what happened here before he spots MKG standing in front of him.
"So you're still alive?" says the leader. "Well, you're going down this time!"
As the gym leaders are watching, a helicopter lands besides of them. Miki, Roxanne, and Little Godzilla come down from the plane and join the others. "What's happening here?" asks Miki. "Godzilla is going to battle King Ghidorah," Norman tells her. "All we can do now is to rely on Godzilla."
MKG begins by firing Gravity Beam at Godzilla. Godzilla roars angrily when he got blast, so he fires his Heat Beam. When the beam hits the cyborg, MKG absorbs it into himself. He lets loose more Gravity Beams at Godzilla, and the king of monsters responds by firing his beam. When Godzilla sees that his Heat Beam isn't harming the monster, he makes a charge for MKG and throws a punch at his body. The armor on MKG is hard and it takes no scratch from the punch.
MKG flies up into the sky and kicks Godzilla in the chin hard, causing the king of monsters to fall backward. MKG then begins jumping up and down on top of him.
Megalon rises slowly from the rubbles. He flies at MKG and bashes him away from stomping Godzilla. He then attacks the cyborg by trying to use his hands to drill into the cyborg's body, but to no avail as the armor plating is too tough.
Godzilla gets up and hurls himself at MKG, pinning the cyborg onto the ground, followed by punching him rapidly on either of the three heads.
"Dang!" curses the leader. "Use it now!"
The middle head begins glowing and then it fires a big powerful blast straight into Godzilla's face. Godzilla is then sent flying high into the sky and he falls back down a few yards away from MKG.
"Uh… Where am I…?"
"Hello? Get up!"
Ruby opens his eyes and looks around. "Where are we now?"
"We made it into the undersea cave!" Sapphire tells him excitedly.
"We did!"
"You passed out when we go near the undersea cavern. I had to grab hold of your hand so you won't float off into the deep sea."
"Well, thanks for helping me. Now we have to awaken the third guardian."
Suddenly, a giant tentacle shoots out from a pool of water nearby and grabs Ruby! "Help!" he screams. Sapphire quickly grabs hold of Ruby's leg and tries to pull him back.
Oodako thought he had seen two kids and a fish swimming into the undersea cavern, so he sticks his tentacle into the cavern entrance to try to get them out.
Back inside, Sapphire is trying to pull Ruby off from the tentacle's grip. "You're going to rip me apart!" cries Ruby. "Think of something else!" Sapphire quickly calls out Chaka and tells her to cut the tentacle. The Blaziken uses a slash attack at the tentacle, slicing it off and freeing Ruby. "That was… close…" says Ruby with a frightened pale face.
Another tentacle emerges from the pool to get them again, but the trainers had already ran deep into the cave—out of the tentacle's reach.
The two trainers travel through the tunnels until they came to a strange writing on the wall. "What does it say?" Sapphire asks Ruby.
"This can take a while…" says Ruby as he investigates the writings on the wall. Sapphire waited and waited, until she grew impatient and asks Ruby, "Are you done reading yet?" But she notices that he had fallen asleep while reading, so she pulls his ear. "GET UP!"
"Wha! Oh, I fall asleep reading…"
"What does it say?"
"Well… I'm not exactly sure… I think it has the word water written on it…"
"So that means we have to wet the writings with water?"
"Maybe, why not try it?" Ruby calls out his Swampert and tells him to spray water gun at the writing on the wall. The Swampert did as his master commanded and sprays water at the wall. After getting sprayed, the writing starts to flash and the whole place starts shaking.
"We have to get out of here!" says Sapphire. "But how!" Ruby asks her. "The exit is blocked by some tentacles!"
"Then do you have any other ways to get out of here!"
"Looks like we have to die heroes…"
"DON'T SAY THAT!"
As they are wondering what to do, a ball of light forms around them. "What the heck!" says Sapphire. Then a loud roar is being heard in the room. "What's happening!" asks Ruby. The wall starts to crack and waters come gushing in. The ball of light around the trainers blocks them from the rushing water. "It looks like this ball of light is protecting us from being washed off!" says Sapphire.
Oodako is still outside the cavern, guarding it. The cavern begins to shake, and then it bursts into pieces, freaking out Oodako.
Ruby and Sapphire found themselves rushing up the water at high speed while inside the bubble. "This is cool!" exclaims Sapphire. "Right, Ruby?"
Ruby had already freaked out senseless…
Sapphire shakes her head. "What a weakling…" She looks around and notices a scaly wall outside the ball of light.
