A/N: I have heard in a couple of places that doesn't want authors responding to reviews in their stories. I have not seen an official notice about it on the front page so until I do I will keep responding to the reviews like I've been doing. If the site would like me to stop just tell me and I will.

Antithesis-You skip the battles most of the time? That's kind of weird, but I am glad you enjoyed the one in the last chapter.

Ri2-I took your suggestion about enabling anonymous reviewers. To be honest I didn't even realize it was disabled. Don't worry about me updating so quickly. I am not putting my fingers in jeopardy. It only takes me like an hour to actually type these chapters and I don't have anything better to do at the moment. If it makes you feel any better pretty soon I won't be updating as fast since my life is going to get a bit more hectic soon. So while I have the time I am going to continue this story and update it as much as possible. Glad to see you enjoyed the chapters, and yes my Wallace is an asshole :-p.

…Ancient Enemies Shall Clash…

"Did you say James!" Asked Ash "As in, your former team mate and cross-dressing friend, James?"

"You any one else named James?" Answered Meowth sarcastically.

"Well…" Said Ash thinking about the question. "…No."

"Wait a minute 'James' is a guy's name!" Said Wallace "You mean to tell me that a man screamed like that?"

"Well 'man' is a bit too strong a word." Said Meowth

("Yeah, 'fag' would describe him a lot better") Agreed Pikachu

There was a loud roar from outside and the whole building began to shake violently. The glass which made up the dome started to crack and the storm outside suddenly picked up even more!

"What the hell is going on!" Screamed Wallace over the now raging monsoon.

The building started to shake again and the group decided it was probably a good idea to vacate the premises. They ran toward the entrance avoiding falling rocks and debris. The Gym couldn't take much more punishment. They finally reached the outside as the ground gave another mighty tremor and the building crumbled. The sight that met them outside left them all shocked and speechless. Two extremely large pokemon were battling in the middle of the city. One was a large red dinosaur-like creature and the other looked like a huge blue whale with red markings all along its body. What shocked the group even more were the companions of the creature. Clinging to the whale's rear pectoral fin for dear life was a blue haired man in a Team Aqua uniform. He was screaming for dear life and the scream was very high-pitched. Cowering on the floating rock which the dinosaur was using to stay above the water was a woman in a Team Magma uniform. Every time the beasts clashed the man screamed louder while the woman tried to avoid being crushed by the dinosaur's tail. The rain around the whale's vicinity seemed to come down like a waterfall. While the rain in the dinosaur's vicinity appeared to be nonexistent. Looking closely one could see a circle of blue sky and bright sunlight beating down on the pokemon.

Ash pulled out his Dexter and scanned the two pokemon. "Kyogre the Sea Basin Pokemon." Quipped the machine "Kyogre is said to have expanded the oceans by creating massive rain clouds which produced torrential downpours and caused towering tidal waves. This pokemon has the power to control water and is said to have feuded with the pokemon Groudon in ancient times."

"Good thing that this Groudon isn't around." Said Meowth

"Groudon the Continent Pokemon." Continued Dexter "This pokemon is said to have the power to evaporate water and scatter rain clouds with intense heat. It is said that Groudon and Kyogre damaged a significant portion of the planet with their feuding before being put to sleep by the Dragon King."

"This is bad." Said Wallace stating the obvious "Very…very bad"

"They're at it again." Said a small pink pokemon floating around the top of the Sky Pillar "Aren't you going to go stop them?"

"Can't you do it?" Asked the other occupant of the tower. "I really don't feel like babysitting those two right now."

"It's your responsibility." Said the pink pokemon "You let the humans wake them up."

"Well, if you hadn't been following that human around you could've done something." Argued the other.

"He is the chosen one I had to fallow him around." Said the first

"No you didn't you're just looking for a mate!" Countered the second.

"While that may be true…" Began the first "…It isn't MY JOB to stop Groudon and Kyogre from ripping the world apart. It's YOURS."

"Fine you don't need to yell." Said the second "I'll get to hit in a minute."

"You are a disgrace to your heritage you know that?" Said the pink pokemon indignantly "Your father would've never-"

"Leave him out of this!" Interrupted her companion. "I'm not him and he's not me. You do not have to bring him up every time you see me!"

"If you didn't act like such a child I wouldn't." Said the pink pokemon angrily. "When you go down there you may has well put the chosen through his trials."

"What!" Asked the second pokemon astonished. "What am I suppose to do exactly?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Said the first "Don't forget to put on your more omnipotent tone when you talk to them."

"Fine, I get it!" Said the second pokemon. "I'm going down there in a minute so you can go back to watching your little prospect again. Hopefully he won't turn you down like your last choice did."

"That idiot didn't know what he was missing out on!" Said the pink pokemon. "He was just so stuck on himself and his own self pity."

"Whatever, Can you go now?" Said the second pokemon.

"Fine I know when I'm not wanted!" Said the first. She folded her arms and blinked. In a flash of white light she was gone leaving her companion alone on his tower.

"Finally some peace and quiet." Said the pokemon to himself

"Hurry up and get down there NOW!" Said an impatient voice in his head.

"FINE! IF THAT WHAT IT TAKES FOR YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE!" Said the pokemon. He uncoiled his long body and ascended into the heavens heading toward the clashing pokemon.

Back in Sootopolis Ash and his pokemon were desperately trying to stop the rampaging beasts. Ash had transferred Sceptile and Bulbasaur back to storage and took out Swellow and Crawdaunt. After giving Pikachu the only Hyper Potion he had on him he now had a decent squad of pokemon and was going to try to do something many people would deem very stupid and probably unhealthy. He was going to send his pokemon into battle against Groudon and Kyogre. Ash released Silver, Swellow, Crawdaunt and Maganium. Pikachu and Mune stepped up beside their team mates and awaited Ash's orders.

"Pikachu you get on Swellow's back and see if you can't find an opening to use Thunder on Kyogre." Said Ash "Silver I want he to carry Mune Maganium. You think you can handle that?" Asked Ash

"She does seem a little heavy…" Started the Lugia

The herb pokemon huffed indignantly ("Are you calling me fat?")

"No, no." Said Silver quickly "I'm just not sure I can carry you…"

"You can do it Silver." Said Ash. "All you have to do is use your psychic power to lighten her up a bit. Then Bayleef I want you to shower them with your Razor Leaf attack once Silver gets you close."

("That's actually a good Idea Ash.") Said Pikachu genuinely impressed "I'm surprised you thought of it.")

"Now is not the time for jokes Pikachu." Grumped Ash. Deep inside he knew the comment held some validity.

I wasn't joking. Thought Pikachu testily.

"Crawdaunt get as close as you can and concentrate on Groudon." Continued Ash "Silver just unleash any attacks you can if you see an opening."

("What about me?") Asked Mune

"You stay back here incase something goes on." Said Ash "Believe it or not that's one of the most important jobs there is."

"He's just saying dat to make you feel better ya'know?" Whispered Meowth

"Quiet Meowth!" Snapped Ash. "Don't listen to him Mune. You him and Dawn are actually all assigned this job."

"What!" Yelled Meowth.

"No time!" Yelled Ash "Jessie and James are in trouble and as much as I'd like to rid of them, not even they deserve this. Ok guys get to it!"

The pokemon starting out their assault on the warring beasts. Each group carried out their orders with precision. Crawdaunt took to the ocean floor as, as that was where the least amount of resistance was from the current. Silver and Swellow were boarded by their passengers and flew in opposite directions trying to flank their respective targets. The backup pokemon were all watching intently. Well two out of the three anyway. Meowth was too busy trying to find a place to hide, so he wouldn't risk getting in harms way.

Wallace thought Ash was crazy, but he couldn't let him take all the credit for saving his city. He called out his only remaining pokemon, Wailord, and ordered it to assist Crawdaunt in assaulting Groudon.

James's voice was now hoarse from continually shrieking and screaming "I don't wanna die!" over and over again. His short pathetic life was flashing before his eyes. Being born, taking his first steps, getting beatings by Jessiebell, playing with Growly, beatings from Jessiebell again, running away, joining the bike gang, getting beatings from Jessie, joining Team Rocket, meeting Meowth, yet more beatings, becoming an Elite Rocket, failing to capture Pikachu hundreds of time and receiving more mental and physical abuse from Jessie, and finally his current predicament.

He was about to repeat this cycle when an incredibly familiar sound was heard in over the rain. This sound filled James' heart with the utmost dread.

"PIIIIKKAAAAA…." There was a pause in which electricity could be heard crackling viciously. There was a loud crash of thunder accompanied by a brilliant flash. "CHUUUUUU!"

At the exact same time James was reliving his entire life, Jessie was doing much the same thing. All the while trying to dodge Groudon's massive appendages. Her life story was a bit different from her partner's however. There was being born, being abandoned, joining the bike gang, abusing James, leaving the bike gang to join Team Rocket, having her first lesbian experience with Cassidy while in Rocket training camp, accepting the bribe from Butch and several other males to give James sleeping pills and leave his room door unlocked at night, strange sounds from James' room after doing that, loosing her virginity the night she became an Elite Rocket, failing to catch Pikachu over and over again, Doing several 'favors' for Giovoni so she and James wouldn't get killed and finally being snatched up by Groudon and waiting for her tasteless end.

Jessie saw the blinding flash and heard the same horrifying sound as James. Unfortunately for her she felt two familiar pains instead of just one. The first came in the form of razor sharp leaves slashing all across her body leaving several shallow gashes. The second was a torrent of ice-cold water chilling her to the bone.

To add to the already precarious situation of the unfortunate Rockets Groudon and Kyogre had just fired a Solar Beam and Hydro Pump respectively at one another. The force of the combined attacks was enough to cause the both Groudon and Kyogre to falter in there positions. The sudden jerk from the pokemons' positions sent Jessie and James flying toward a cave in the back of the city.

"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off agaaaaiiin!" The sang as they sailed into the distance.

Meowth sniffled from his hiding place amongst the rubble of the Gym. That sure brings back memories. He thought nostalgically.

Once the effects of the attacks wore off two glared at one another. Each didn't notice the extra pain of the added attacks. They both thought that the others attacks were the only ones used. The pokemon around them used this to their advantage as they powered up for more attacks. This time the warring pokemon decided to simply Body Slam each other, once again sending tremors throughout the city. The signs for the Pokemon Center and Poke'Mart were now floating somewhere in the water. Several houses close to the rim of the city had been crushed with falling rocks from the surrounding mountain and waves continued to crash along the shores of the city.

Ash struggled to remain standing as the waves surged onto the island. He grabbed Dawn and Mune and held them above the rushing water. He didn't know where Meowth had gotten to, but he figured that the ally cat had survived worse.

("I'm scared.") Whimpered Dawn into Ash's chest.

Ash rubbed the little pokemon's back to reassure her that she'd be alright. He looked down at Mune and saw him concentrating on something. He decided to leave it alone seeing as how it must be important for him to be working so intently on it.

Pikachu shocked Kyogre again with a Thunder attack. It seemed like he wasn't even phasing the sea basin pokemon with his relentless assault. He figured it was time for a more direct approach.

("Swellow get me as close as you can!") He called to the flying pokemon.

("I'll do my best…") Said Swellow. He got as close to Kyogre as was possible without being swept into the water by the seemingly endless amount of rain closest to the sea beast. ("This is as close as it gets Pikachu.")

("This'll have to do.") Said the mouse. He took careful aim, making sure the shot would hit it's mark. He waited until Groudon slammed into Kyogre and then he let loose a powerful Zap Cannon straight toward Kyogre's eye! This succeeded in finally getting the large pokemon's attention. He turned away from Groudon and glared at his miniature assailant.

Meganium was trying a similar tactic with Groudon however she was having more difficulty with her mount.

("Can't you fly any higher Silver?") She asked ("I need to get in that stream of sunlight over there!")

("Meganium..huff…your…huff…pretty heavy.") Said Silver ("I'm doing my best to hold us both up psychically.")

Meganium was surprised to hear Silver actually talk instead of using his telepathy. She realized he must really be tired if he couldn't even talk mind to mind. She decided to do something very risky to try and help the small Lugia stay in the air. She concentrated for a moment and formed a seed in the middle of her flower collar just below her neck. She rooted the seed into herself and had the small fines ingrain themselves in Silver's back.

The Lugia hissed in pain when he felt something sharp digging into the space between his wings. ("What the heck are you doing up there!") He yelled. He didn't get an answer and was about to ask again when he felt a sudden surge of energy flow into him. ("What was that?")

("I leach seeded myself so I could send you some energy.") Explained Meganium. "Get us into that sunlight and I should be able to use Synthesis to keep myself from running out of energy to give.")

Feeling his new burst of strength Silver climbed as high into the sky as he could and made his way into the strong sunlight beaming over Groudon's body. The continent pokemon was too busy dealing with Crawdaunt and Wailord to notice the two's actions. Once in the sunlight Meganium started replenishing her strength with Synthesis while sending Silver a burst of energy every few seconds. The herb pokemon also started gathering energy around her flower collar preparing to use her most powerful attack.

Pikachu and Swellow were now in an aerial dog fight with Kyogre. The sea beast would fire a stream of water or a beam of ice at the pair only to have it dodged. Then Swellow would circle around by using his Agility and let Pikachu fire another Zap Cannon. After about five times of repeating this process Kyogre finally got sick of playing games. He waited until he had his prey in his sights once more and released a nightmarish Blizzard. The dynamic duo was hit head on by the attack. Swellow went into a nose dive and headed back toward the center island.

Crawdaunt was having a very easy time with Groudon. It seemed as if the land titan was afraid of the water. Every time Crawdaunt or Wailord shot him with a water attack they would dive underwater to avoid being hit with a flamethrower. Fed up with the water pokemon's evasions Groudon focused on the land underneath the water. He caused a humongous chunk of land as well as several smaller pieces to rise out of the water bringing Crawdaunt and Wailord up with it. He brought the floating island close to his position The smaller chunks of rock formed into one giant slab of granite and hovered over the two beached water pokemon. Wailord trembled in fear, being totally immobile out of the water he was totally defenseless, Crawdaunt on the other hand made a beeline for the edge of the floating island intending to jump back into the water. Neither pokemon needed to worry because Kyogre, who was now done with his battle against Pikachu and Swellow, rejoined the fight against his ancient enemy. The sea pokemon crashed through the floating land masses sending Wailord back into the water and hurling Crawdaunt all the way over to the center island to join his other defeated team mates in an in-prompt-to dog pile. The force of kyogre's Body Slam caused the humongous rocks to go smashing into Groudon. The continent pokemon was not pleased and prepared to fire another Solar Beam at Kyogre. Neither of them got the chance to use another attack because Meganium was finally done charging her newly patented Solar Beam Cannon. All the petals around her neck were glowing a bright white and her mouth held a large white ball of energy. She fired the attack and a colossal beam of sunlight tore through the air and crashed into the two titans. The heat of the attack was so strong that it caused the water to evaporate on contact. A cloud of steam rose up and covered the two pokemon blocking them from view. Thinking that her job was over Meganium had Silver return to the island where Ash was standing.

Everyone held their breaths as the steam began to clear. Slowly the two pokemon came back into the view looking very damaged but also very angry. They turned to the center of the city and saw pokemon responsible for interrupting their battle. In a rare show of agreement the two pokemon both charged Hyper Beams preparing to wipe the nuisances out of existence. The beams were fired and headed straight for the island.

("Done!") Said Mune proudly. He then noticed the beams heading straight for their position and hurriedly put up one of the most powerful reflects Ash had ever seen. The beams slammed into the bubble of energy and ricocheted off heading back at the ones who had fired them!

"How did you do that!" Asked Ash astonished. He was actually somewhat disappointed the attacks hadn't hit. If they had he wouldn't have to feel the pain anymore.

("I was using Calm Mind the whole time.") Said Mune simply ("I learned it after the Gym battle so I thought it might come in handy if I needed to fight.")

"And the reflect?" Asked Ash "I didn't know you knew that move."

("I'm not sure about that one…") Admitted Mune ("It just kinda happened.")

"Well you saved our lives with it." Said Ash "I guess I owe you one."

Dawn just continued to whimper in Ash's arms. She'd closed her eyes sometime after the second wave came over the island and was now busy telling herself that it was all a dream and she'd wake up in the pokemon center any minute.

Ash was beginning to wonder why Groudon and Kyogre hadn't retaliated yet. He looked over to see that Kyogre was lying on top of the water with his eyes closed and Groudon was also laying flat on his stomach atop his rocky mount. For a brief moment Ash thought that his pokemon had actually defeated them. That is until they both opened their eyes looking totally refreshed and totally angry! Groudon started charging a Solar Beam while Kyogre began gathering ice for a Shear Cold attack.

Out of nowhere the sky suddenly cleared and a thundering voice echoed around the city. "ENOGH!" Cried the voice "THE FIGHTING SHALL END!"

A large serpentine figure descended in front of Ash and his pokemon and glared at the two feuding titans "I AM RAYQUAZA THE DRAGON LORD!" Thundered Rayquaza "YOU SHALL CEASE THIS FOOLISH FIGHTING AT ONCE OR SUFFER MY WRATH!"

Groudon and Kyogre stared at each other for then stared back at Rayquaza. The two hadn't forgotten what happened the last time they'd disobeyed this creature. They'd continued to fight after he'd ordered them to stop and both ended up suspended in a deep sleep for thousands of years. Not wanting to go through that again they silently resigned to finish the fight another time. Groudon floated to the top of the city and headed due south. Kyogre did the same but headed in more north-western direction.

Wow! Thought Ash He didn't even have to lift a finger to get them to stop. I'd sure hate to be on his bad side.

"Human!" Thundered the dragon king "IT IS TIME FOR THE TRIAL!"

"What trial?" Asked Ash "I haven't committed any crimes, have I?"

("Well there was that one time…") Began Pikachu

"SILENCE!" Ordered Rayquaza. He swept his tail over the island capturing Ash's entire group minus Meowth and Wallace who had both taken refuge in the debris long ago.

"Woah!" Cried Ash "Put us down!" After looking down and seeing he was several feet in the air he amended "Never mind, just get this over with."

("Just a dream…just a dream…") Whimpered Dawn.

Rayquaza headed back toward the Sky Pillar carrying his new companions. His passengers had no idea the 'fun' he ad in store for them.

Several hours later Wallace finally decided it was safe to come out from underneath the rocks he'd been hiding in. He glanced around and saw that Ash and his pokemon were all gone. The only pokemon he could see was his Wailord who was swimming toward him. The cities Nurse Joy also decided to peak out about this time. She came out of the barely standing pokemon center and saw Wallace standing alone on the island were the Gym once stood.

"Wallace!" She called "What happened to the pokemon that were fighting?"

"Would you believe me if I said I beat them with Wailord here?" He called back hopefully

"Why would that be hard to believe? You are a Gym Leader aren't you?" Asked the nurse

"Then yes, I Wallace Sternback, defeated two legendary pokemon with a single Wailord!" Shouted Wallace in triumph

Most of the remaining residence had come out just in time to see Wallace make his declaration and they all cheered thankful that their resident Gym Leader saved them all from certain doom.

"Wallace! Wallace! Wallace!" Cheered the crowd.

Meanwhile Rayquaza deposited Ash and his pokemon on an island with a huge Tower in its center. Ash looked around in confusion at the tower and the surrounding landscape of the island. There were lots of fruit trees and several caves and rocky cliffs. Ash looked back at Rayquaza waiting for some type of explanation.

"I AWAIT YOUR ARRIVAL AT THE TOP OF THE TOWER!" Roared the dragon "YOU WILL NOT LEAVE THIS PLACE UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED MY TRIALS!"

Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse… Thought Ash bitterly

A/N: Well that is that. Next Chapter will be out when I get it out. Hope you enjoyed reading this portion of my little fic. As always please leave a review I'd really like to know what you think about this chapter. DON'T BE AFRAID TO BE HONEST!
