Learning what Team Transcendent was planning, our heroes were quite shocked. Team Transcendent began their plans by launching an attack. Our heroes made an attempt to stop them, but it turned out it was a distraction for Aizen to swipe Diancie. Orihime, fearful of the events, stayed behind. However, she might be in great danger as she is faced with Aizen himself.

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) From Awful Beginnings

"Aizen is going after Diancie! That means he's going after Orihime!" Ichigo said. "I've got to get to her before it's too late!" He didn't even think about it. He turned around and started running back to the building with Absol and Silvally following him.

"Who said you could leave?" Gin said. "Steelix, get that boy." His Steelix was about to chase after Ichigo, but Uryu wasn't going to let that happen.

"Lucario, Aura Sphere!" Uryu said. Lucario unleashed the attack and blasted Steelix to stop it form going after Ichigo. Uryu and Kisuke stood in the way with their partners and were ready to finish this battle.

"Gin, let's leave it. Aizen is sure to have Diancie by now." Kaname said.

"You're probably right. I guess there's no reason for us to stick around." Gin said. "Steelix, Sandstorm to give us cover." Steelix had enough strength to generate a sandstorm to use as cover.

"Wait!" Uryu called as he wanted to go after them, but they were already gone when the sand cleared away. Uryu wanted to chase after them, but Kisuke stopped him.

"Don't. We have bigger worries." Kisuke said. Uryu could see he was right about that. If what they thought was true, they could be in real trouble and Orihime could be in great danger.

...

Ichigo

Ichigo hurried back as fast as he could. He was scared out of his mind if Aizen really got to Orihime. His pokemon following close behind, he hurried to the last room he saw Orihime in.

"Orihime!" Ichigo shouted as he busted the door open, but the room was empty. There was no Orihime or Diancie. "Orihime! Orihime! Orihime, stop hiding! It's me! Orihime!" He called out to her, but there was no sign of her anywhere. It was just what he feared. Aizen had to have done something to her. He dropped to his knees and pounded the ground in frustration.

"Looks like we were right." Kisuke said as he came in. "Aizen was here."

"What did he do with Orihime?!" Ichigo said.

"Let's check out the security cameras. We might have our answers, but it seems like he took her captive." Kisuke said. They moved to a different part of the building to look at the security footage. It was just like Kisuke assumed. They saw that Aizen confronted Orihime and Diancie. He used Alakazam and lifted Orihime off the ground with Diancie getting frightened. "It's just as I thought. It seems like Aizen took Orihime captive to force Diancie to work with him." Ichigo hated seeing this because he was with Orihime earlier, but he chose to leave her alone rather than staying to protect her.

"Ichigo!" Rukia called as she, Chad, and Uryu came running in. "Uryu just told us what really happened! Orihime's really been captured?!"

"I'm afraid that she has, and Aizen now has Diancie." Kisuke said. "He must be planning to summon Arceus."

"But how does he plan to control a pokemon like that?" Chad questioned.

"Wait..." Uryu said as he tried to think of something. "Remember when we faced him back at the factory? I bet he was working on something that would allow him to do just that! This isn't looking good at all. We've got to go do something and we need to do it fast."

"I've already spoken to Kageroza." Kisuke said. "I already know where they're heading to summon Arceus." Ichigo walked out of there hearing they know where to go. Filled with much fury and rage, he isn't going to let Aizen have his way like this.

...

Orihime

When Aizen came after Diancie, he didn't waste a second. He attacked Orihime and she soon blacked out. She was finally starting to wake up, but she felt her arms were tied. She looked around and saw she was sitting next to Aizen with a fearful Diancie next to him.

"I see that you finally woke up." Aizen said.

"What is this? What's going on?" Orihime said.

"I had to bring you along to make sure Diancie here cooperates." Aizen said. "You should feel honored. Not only will you see the great Arceus come to our world, but you will also be the first to see the world change." Orihime knew she had to do something, but she couldn't even get her arms free. She looked out the window of the helicopter she was in and saw they arrived at Mount Francois with a few Team Transcendent grunts there.

"Where are we?" Orihime questioned.

"Where it all really begins." Aizen said. The helicopter landed down and the three of them stepped outside. When Orihime stepped out, she could see the large door in the mountain. One grunt came over and handed Aizen two cases. "Excellent. The time is almost here. Diancie, could you be so kind to open the door for us?"

"Dia..." Diancie didn't wish to do this, but Orihime is in great danger if it doesn't. Diancie went over to the door. Diancie held out its hands and unleashed a pink beam in the sphere on the door. Energy travelled through the door and caused it to open.

"Come." Aizen said as he went inside and Orihime felt like she was forced to follow. Diancie went in as well. The three of them stepped into a dark room with a set of ruins inside.

"What is this place?" Orihime questioned as she was getting scared of the place.

"The Shrine of Beginning. This is where Arceus will be summoned." Aizen said.

"You really are trying to summon Arceus?!" Orihime said, but Aizen just remained silent. They moved further and further down until they reached something. It looked a series of podiums and a magic circle-like structure in the floor.

"Here we are." Aizen said as he placed both cases down. He opened up one and showed the plates with the gems inside.

"The plates and the gems! What are you going to do with those?" Orihime said.

"You're about to see." Aizen said as he took the items. "First is the plates. These help give Arceus a form in this world. Iron for the body, mind for the brain, and drago for the power." He placed all three plates in slots that were in the circle. "As for the gems, they represent the four elements: fire, water, earth, and wind. This will give Arceus power in this realm." He took the four gems and placed them on four podiums. That just left on in the center.

"What about Diancie. What does Diancie have to do?" Orihime questioned.

"It's not Diancie itself that is needed now. No, more like what Diancie is capable of doing." Aizen said. "You see, Diancie are capable of creating diamonds. While the diamonds are priceless, their value means nothing to me. In truth, the diamonds created by Diancie are capable of generating great power. In fact, it would be similar to a keystone in mega evolution. I need Diancie to complete the circuit with one of those diamonds."

"No, Diancie! Don't do it!" Orihime pleaded.

"You will unless you don't really care what happens to your friend their. I could destroy her with just a snap of a finger if I wanted." Aizen said as he was going to snap his fingers. Diancie was too scared of Aizen to ignore him, and Diancie certainly didn't want to put Orihime in more danger. Diancie did what it was told as it formed a diamond in its hands and handed it to Aizen. "Thank you." He took the diamond and was going to place it.

"No! Don't do this! What are you even going to do to Arceus?!" Orihime said.

"You're about to see." Aizen said as he placed the diamond right in the center. That is where it all began. With a completed circuit, energy began to travel through the circle. As it began to shine, the plates started to shine. Energy traveled up the podiums with them entering the gems. Then, the gems fired beams into the diamond. Power coursed through the whole thing until a powerful beam shot into the sky. Orihime couldn't believe this was happening. They all could see a portal opening at the top and something was emerging from it.

"This can't really be happening!" Orihime said.

"It is." Aizen said. The light cleared away and there it was. The legendary pokemon Arceus stood in the very presence of Aizen and Orihime. If it weren't for the circumstances, it would have been a glorious.

"So...that's Arceus." Orihime said as she was amazed. That was when she snapped out of it and looked towards Aizen. He opened up the second case and it ended up being a small cannon. He fired it and it went straight for Arceus' head. "Arceus!" Orihime called, but it was too late. The blast hit and a band was placed around Arceus. "What is that?"

"It's how I plan to control Arceus." Aizen said as he took another band and placed it around his head. "You can't capture Arceus in a pokeball like any other pokemon. This requires other methods." He activated the bands. When he did, a great deal of pain was coursing through Arceus. "Now, I can control the mightiest pokemon ever with just a thought."

"No!" Orihime said as she couldn't believe this was really happening.

...

Outside

Gin and Kaname already returned to the mountain. They stood outside and waited for Aizen to get done with what he was doing. However, even though they were outside, they saw the immense light. They could actually feel what was happening in there. Especially with some dark clouds forming over the mountain.

"It's happening." Kaname said.

"Yes. Finally, all that we worked for is..." Gin didn't finish that sentence as they heard something. They looked to the sky and saw a helicopter coming at them. "Don't these fools ever give it up?" Once the helicopter was over the ground, Ichigo didn't wait around as he and Absol jumped out. Once he saw the door, Ichigo went straight for it, but Gin and Kaname stood in the way.

"Where do you think you're going?" Kaname said.

"Out of the way!" Ichigo demanded.

"You're pretty young to be giving us orders. Just give it up. You got beat at every turn." Gin said, but they didn't get the chance to do much else. Kisuke let out Salamence and Salamence tried attacking the two of them. When Ichigo got the chance, he went straight for the door with Absol following.

"There is no stopping that boy, obviously." Kisuke said. "Once a determined trainer sets his mind on something, nothing can stop them. It's like giving up goes out the window." He and the others moved out of the window and were ready for a fight. "As for those like you, I'm afraid there's really only one outcome no matter what you do. It all leads to one outcome." He said with a dark look on his face. Deciding to leave what's happening inside to Ichigo, the rest of them face the enemy.

...

Ichigo

Ichigo and Absol hurried through the dark hall. It didn't take him long until he could see what was happening right in front of him.

"Orihime!" Ichigo called and got her attention.

"Ichigo!" Orihime called with her and Diancie happy to see him. Absol went to help Orihime out and cut the ropes that tied her arms back. "I can't believe you were able to make it here."

"Did he hurt you?" Ichigo questioned.

"No, but Arceus is..." Orihime said. Ichigo looked and could see Arceus is in pain as Aizen is trying to take control of it.

"Aizen, stop!" Ichigo demanded.

"It's too late." Aizen said as he turned to them. "The power of existence is now mine." Arceus began to fall under Aizen's control as its eyes glowed red. Aizen now has control over the very force that created existence.

With power that created all that exists now under Aizen's control, the world can be his to do with as he pleases. Unless our heroes can find some way to stop this, this could be the end for everything.
