Our heroes are continuing on with their journey to the Kalos League. Hoping to get their soon, they're trying to cut through some places.

"Are you sure we're going the right way, Rukia?" Ichigo questioned.

"Positive. This way is a shortcut. If we go through here, we'll get to Lumiose City sooner." Rukia said.

"As long as we get there is all that really matters. Right, Ichigo?" Orihime asked.

"I suppose you're right." Ichigo said. They all kept going, but Absol stopped as he could feel something wasn't right. He looked to the side and spotted a strange looking building in a valley. Ichigo and the others noticed it and found it strange. "Absol, what's wrong?"

"Do you hear something?" Orihime questioned.

"Absol..." All of them looked towards the building and wondered what Absol was sensing.

"That's strange." Rukia said as she was looking at the map.

"What is it?" Orihime questioned.

"The map says that building is a factory that was shutdown years ago, but take a good look at it." Rukia said. They all looked at the factory and saw small bits of smoke and running lights. "That factory is running." What does it mean when a factory that was suppose to be shutdown is running now?

Each and next chapter, the ultimate goal

Ready for battle, brave and bold

I know we're gonna make it

We will find a way

Oh-oh

We've come so far

We fought so hard to get where we are

Oh-oh

We belong together

It's always you and me

Pokemon

(Ichigo's voice): Transcending Trouble

Curiosity got the better of the group. They all decided to check out the factory to see why it was running. They all moved closer to the factory, but they saw nothing that seemed suspicious.

"Why are we doing this? What does it really matter to us if this place is running? They probably just reopened it." Ichigo said.

"Maybe, but Absol can clearly sense that there's something wrong." Rukia said. They all agreed to that and decided to investigate. However, something jumped out from the bushes and landed in front of them. They were all surprised to see it was a Lucario.

"Lu..."

"A Lucario?!" Ichigo said. He took a good look at it and could recognize it. "Hold on. Is that Uryu's?"

"Ichigo!" They all looked to the side and could see Uryu was there.

"Uryu! Great to see you!" Orihime said.

"Get over here now! Hurry!" Uryu said as he waved his hand for them to come to him. He sound frantic as well. None of them knew what was going on, but they did what Uryu said. They moved quickly and hid behind some bushes and trees with him. "What are all of you doing here?"

"We were just about to ask you the same thing." Ichigo said.

"We were just going to check out that building." Rukia said. "Uryu, what are you doing here? Why are you hiding?"

"I'm in the middle of an investigation." Uryu said as he kept his eyes on the building.

"Investigating? That building?" Chad questioned.

"Why? What's going on?" Ichigo said. The answer gave them all a good scare.

"Team Transcendent is in that building." Uryu said.

"Team Transcendent!" Orihime said. Knowing those people are involved means great trouble for them.

...

The Factory

Inside the factory was the big man of Team Transcendent himself: Sosuke Aizen. He had his men working on something. He had the whole factory used again for his own purposes.

"It's nearly completed." Aizen said. Whatever he has planned won't be good at all. As he was monitoring the progress of his project, be turned to the security footage and saw something move on one of the monitors. "What's this?" He adjusted the picture as he zoomed in and spotted Ichigo and the rest of them. "So, we meet again, and I see you brought what I needed." He saw that Diancie was with them, another important piece to his mysterious plans. If things go well for Aizen, he might have all that he needs.

...

Outside

"Why is Team Transcendent in there?" Ichigo asked.

"That's what I'm trying to figure out." Uryu said. "Lucario and I are monitoring the building and trying to keep an eye open for anything. Lucario has also been trying to sense the aura of those inside for anything suspicious."

"And you haven't found anything?" Chad said.

"Not yet. We have to be careful with how this is handled." Uryu said. "The leader of Team Transcendent is in there."

"Their leader?! Do you mean Sosuke Aizen?!" Ichigo said. They all remembered Aizen pretty well. Not only is he cunning and deceptive, but he's a powerful trainer and possibly a dangerous man.

"That's why this has to be done carefully." Uryu said. "There's no telling how bad this could get if we act recklessly."

"Forget that! I'm going in and taking that guy down!" Ichigo said as he and Absol charged right at the building.

"Ichigo! Come back!" Uryu called. "Are you crazy?! You can't just charge in like that!" They all thought that he was being reckless, but Ichigo wants to get at Aizen. He hasn't forgotten their encounters and know that Aizen needs to be stopped. Ichigo and Absol arrived at the building and looked around for any sign of Aizen.

"He's around here somewhere." Ichigo said as he looked around for him. "Absol, be ready for anything."

"Absol..."

"It would seem that we meet again, Ichigo Kurosaki." Ichigo looked ahead and spotted him. Aizen showed himself as he stepped out of the building and was willing to face Ichigo.

"Aizen!" Ichigo said with much anger as he and Absol were ready for a fight.

"Ichigo! Wait!" Rukia called as the others were able to catch up with him. By the time they got there, they were all surprised to see Aizen himself. "It's really him..." Aizen took a look at all of them. His eyes soon landed on Diancie. When they did, Diancie was getting scared.

"Diancie, stay behind me." Orihime said as she pushed Diancie behind her. She was going to do her best to protect Diancie.

"I must admit that I'm rather impressed." Aizen said. "We keep running into each other. Is it fate or just purely coincidental the whole time? One thing I do know is you appear to be quite the special trainer. Ichigo Kurosaki."

"Spare me from your compliments. They all mean nothing to me." Ichigo said. "What are you doing here?"

"I don't really need to explain anything to you children. You're the ones who just keep getting involved when you don't need to." Aizen said. "If that's the case, you'll learn Team Transcendent's goals soon enough. For now, I'll just take Diancie." Diancie got a good scare from his claim as he took out a pokeball. "Go, Alakazam."

"Alakazam!"

"Alakazam, bring Diancie to me with Confusion." Aizen said. Alakazam used his psychic powers and tried to bring Diancie over to Aizen, but Orihime held Diancie and tried to stop it.

"That's enough! Absol, Night Slash!" Ichigo said. Absol charged right at Alakazam to stop Aizen.

"Switch to Shadow Ball." Aizen said. Alakazam switched attacks as he formed a dark orb and launched it at Absol. Absol got blasted by the attack and was pushed back.

"Lucario, help Absol! Aura Sphere!" Uryu said.

"Lu!" Lucario jumped in the air and readied the attack.

"Confusion again." Aizen said. Alakazam used his psychic powers on Lucario this time. Lucario's attack was stopped before it could even be used. Alakazam then caused Lucario to smash into the ground with a large crater being formed from the impact. "Now use Psycho Cut." Alakazam swung its arm and unleashed a crescent attack. It blasted near all of them and knocked them all back. "I'm only going to say this once. Hand me Diancie or I will take it by force."

"Why do you want Diancie so bad?" Ichigo said as he and Absol got back up. "In Unova, you stole three plates. In Johto, it was four gems. Now you're in Kalso, but none of your moves make any sense. What is it all about?" Aizen could see Ichigo wasn't going to drop this. He also figured they might get involved one way or the other.

"I suppose after coming this far, I should give you something." Aizen said. "All you really need to know is that I will soon have the power to change this entire world."

"Change the world?" Rukia said as none of them knew what he meant.

"With all the chaos and disorder in this world, we need someone to uptake a position that will change it all." Aizen said. "All-powerful being to stand at the top. That being shall be me, and I shall soon have the power to do all that."

"Are you saying this is all some cliché villain motive of taking over the world?" Ichigo said as he found that hard to believe.

"Not exactly. It's more like I'm going to reshape it. It might sound vain of me, but I believe that I deserve it." Aizen said. "With my vast intelligence, nowhere in the world really fits with me. That was until I learned that the world lacks someone to take on a leadership-like role."

"Is he for real?" Rukia said.

"I think he is." Uryu said.

"Now that's said..." Aizen stopped there as he heard something go off in his pocket. He pulled out a communication device and listened to who was on the other end of it. "I see. I'll be there soon."

"Now what?" Ichigo questioned.

"Alakazam, get rid of them with Confusion. We'll get Diancie another time." Aizen said.

"Alakazam!" Alakazam used his powers again and blew Ichigo and all his friends away. All of them were blown far from the factory and were thrown for a loop for a minute.

"Is everyone okay?" Chad asked as they all tried to pull themselves together.

"A lot more than Aizen is going to be." Ichigo said as he was ready to get back in there, but Uryu grabbed him and stopped him.

"Stop it!" Uryu said. "We can't charge in blindly like that." He reached in his pocket and pulled out a phone. "I'm calling it in. Yamamoto needs to know about this." Team Transcendent has proven once again their a dangerous force.

"Look!" Orihime said. They all looked back at the factory and saw a helicopter leaving the place.

...

Aizen

Aizen was in the helicopter. He was given coordinates and was on his way to check it out.

"Gin... Kaname... Did you two actually find what we were looking for?" Aizen asked as he spoke with his two generals.

"We have, sir." Kaname said. "We found the Shrine of Beginning."

"It's being held in a place called Mount Francois. How did things go on your end?" Gin asked.

"It's done. I'm on my way to see the shrine for myself." Aizen said. "If we're right about this, all that will be left is to capture that Diancie, and we know where it is." 'I suppose I could have taken Diancie there, but this Ichigo and his friends would have constantly got in the way. We'll have to do something about them.'

...

Later

Later that day, Uryu called in the police. They investigated the factory, but it looks like Aizen covered his tracks again. They still don't know what he was doing there or what happened in there.

"Anything?" Uryu asked.

"I'm afraid not." Officer Jenny said. "The computer drives have been erased. Any data that would have been on them is gone."

"Aizen surely knows how to cover his tracks." Uryu said. Hearing more about Aizen and Team Transcendent is making Ichigo furious. "Listen, the rest of you should continue on your journey. If we hear anything about Team Transcendent, we'll let you know." There really wasn't anything more they could do. They all went out the door and were just going to keep going on with their journey, but Orihime stayed back for a moment.

"Orihime? What's wrong?" Chad asked as they all hung back.

"I just can't take it anymore." Orihime said. "What is Team Transcendent planning? What are they after?"

"Good question. Reshaping the world? What does that mean?" Rukia said. None of them could figure this out. Team Transcendent is too mysterious and they just can't take it.

"Man, these guys make me mad. Whatever it is they are after, they won't getaway with it." Ichigo said.

Team Transcendent's actions continue to be a mystery. What is going to happen from here on out now? Our heroes better ready themselves because there's no telling what's going to happen from here on out.
