T-15 minutes to attack

Anoth was a little nervous, as he always was when he knew it was going to get pretty ugly in the next few minutes. He stood with the main commanders for the defense at one of the trenches that the Pokémon had dug in no time. Much of the population had been evacuated to the surrounding areas. Many ship to Castelia City, the largest city in the world. They should be relatively safe there, as the main attack would be in Virbank. Nevertheless, defense forces were also present in the surrounding towns. Better safe than sorry. Anoth's motto was: better have it and not need it than to need it and not have it . Less than five minutes ago, a report had come in from one of the reconnaissance teams that changed the plans a little. Anoth was now the one to take care of the ground forces and Kagami to take over the air forces. At the moment, his concern was to see to it that the ground troops did not even come to the city outskirts.

'Mitara, Konoko, report.' Anoth telepathically addressed Mitara and Konoko.

'We are ready to build the shield.' the answer came back.

'Make it so.' A short time later, in the middle of the city, a ray was shooting towards the sky, which then spread into a dome to finally enclose the whole city under a golden energy dome. Anoth nodded in satisfaction and then went to a vacant position in the middle of the yard behind the trenches. "Then let's go." With these words he took for the first time in front of the soldiers and the public his completely black Drago-Seraphim form. Before, they had only ever seen him shaping into their elemental wolf form.

When he stood there, with a shoulder height of just under 6m and a body length from the tip of the snout to the tail end of almost 57m with a wingspan of colossal 134m was one thing clearly visible. They were fighting machines, created to kill the enemy no matter how.

He had eight wings. Six of them were half feathered, half covered with flying skin, while the last two were covered only with flight skin and looked like dragon wings. The dragon wings were also the smallest of the wings. They were not very suitable for flight, but they did allow him an attack that would not be possible with the other wings. Well, actually it was already possible, but then he would have no more feathers on the wing from where he shot off the attack. The wing edges are very sharp and can in the flyby, for example, cut off a head. Or when energy is channeled into it, they could also cut an airplane in two parts with ease.

His head was a bit between a dragon's and a wolf's. Right and left at the head were two rounded horns, which gave his head the appearance of a battering ram. At the back of the head were two horns pointing backwards.

His eyes were the most noticeable. That is, if they showed their real eyes. They had eyes in which you saw a planet that was often surrounded by one or more moons. These were the so-called planetary eyes. They were and are the universal identifying mark of every Drago-Seraphim.

His mane, which ran along their entire backs was also something very special. Because if it is permeated with a great deal of magic, it assumes an ethereal form. But it is also usually hidden, so that his mane looks as if it were made of ordinary hair. The reason is that an ethereal mane is always on the move and also shines in the dark. If you wanted to hide or just not want to attract attention, that was a bad combination.

A ridge split his mane right in the middle. It could be folded or unfolded as needed. When energy was introduced into the ridge, it began to glow. Depending on the type of energy and strength in a different color. For example: aura energy gave a bluish to white color, while Ki shifted the color to a reddish color.

His mouth was riddled with razor-sharp teeth. But not enough, two fangs were hidden in the lid of the mouth and could be folded out as needed. These fangs could either inject a very strong poison into their victim, or even create a highly poisonous mist. And other even deadlier things.

There was something hidden under the wings themselves. There were two very strong arms with scorpion scissors at the ends. With them, for example, it was possible to cut through a tree, or even a steel beam. As a rule these were hidden in a pocket underneath the wings.

Their paws were very similar to those of a dragon. The claws were sharp enough to cut through almost everything.

A Drago-Seraphim has nine tails. These are very similar to those of a fox. Between the tails itself hid a flight skin. This allowed them a better control in the air. The three tails in the middle had also implants installed. These implants contained usually discarding devices for blade disks or throwing weapons of various kinds. The two tails that were next to them were a little more than twice as long as the shortest and were mostly equipped with sensors. At the end there were 4 very sharp thorns or blades that could be moved as scissors. Two per side each. The middle tail was about three times as long as the shortest and more shaped like a very muscular dragon's tail. In the end, there were 6 very pointed and very stable thorns. Two side by side. At the top of the longest tail are also two razor-sharp crescent-shaped blades that could be used like a pair of scissors. Basically, it looked like the tail of a bird. Only that three of the tails in the end poked out.

His stomach was protected by thick scales. These went down from the chin to the base of the tail. They can also be found on their legs and paws. The rest of the body is covered with dense, long fur. This coat seems to be silky soft when touched by hand. But if a projectile hits at high speed, it will be hard as steel. If it gets wet, however, this protective effect is gone.

At his neck were 10 circular things. Five on each side of the neck. From there he and the others could let tentacles shoot out at almost the speed of sound. The tentacles could reach a length of several kilometers. They served a variety of tasks. They were something like the multifunction tools of the Drago-Seraphim.

The tentacles could, for example, scan things or move things. In addition, they served as sensors that allowed them to better perceive their surroundings. The tips of the tentacles could glow with the intensity of a searchlight or form into a bowl, allowing them to eavesdrop or track enemies over long distances. If the tentacles were put into their energy form they could become dozens of kilometers long and go through just about everything. Helpful to explore areas. They could not move or touch anything in the form. However, they were able to interact with computers because of their pure energy in this form.

Most of the Drago Seraphim had implants in their body. The result of a war that raged almost 200 million years ago. Since then, the implants have been constantly evolving. These implants allowed direct access to computer systems via the neural interface, as well as allowing them to carry weapons platforms on their backs, with their target computers simply connected to the implants in their backs, which then took complete control of that platform. Also within the implants were sensors that constantly scanned the environment and took measurements. And since the Seraphim were all very powerful fliers, these platforms could certainly bring up to several tons on the scales.

Anoth fanned out the Six Wings and rose into the air, while the jaws of the soldiers began their journey in the opposite direction. They had all heard of these giants and there were a few, albeit fuzzy, pictures of them. Some of them were made during the incident at the Legendary Islands with the Pokémon collector Lawrence III. Where, when the weather got completely out of control, Anoth's group had more than enough to do to limit the damage done. In the end, it was Ash who ended the fight between the three elemental birds Zapdos, Moltres and Articuno by bringing their spheres to the main island and using the magic help in combination with Lugia's song and Lugia himself restoring balance. And what was the trigger of all the chaos?

A misinterpreted prophecy. Which also contained a clear warning, which was completely ignored.

Disturb not the harmony of Fire, Ice, or Lightning

Lest these Titans wreak destruction

Upon the world in which they clash

.

Though the Water's Great Guardian shall arise to quell the fighting

Alone its song will fail

Thus the earth shall turn to ash

.

O Chosen One

Into thine hands bring together all three

Their treasures combined tame the Beast of The Sea

(Q: Pokémon movie 2 - The Power of One)

A few reporters were also in a helicopter there. And that's exactly where Konoko shot past at high speed on the way to the remote atoll, causing the helicopter to wobble in the air. One of the photographers was just right at the time. He was about to focus on the camera lens. As Konoko flew by at high speed, he was so frightened that he just pressed the trigger. Therefore, one of the few pictures of them were shot.

Since then, many of the Pokémon professors had speculated that this could be a new Legendary Pokémon.

Since then there have been a few more pictures, but they all had one thing in common. They were Qualitatively far worse than what had been made from onboard the helicopter.

Exactly this being, of which there so far only these very few very blurry photos existed stood there now. And something else became clear to them. They were the same as the elemental wolves they had been working with all along. They saw their true form open here for the first time. And she was scary. At a glance, they could say that these beings were made for battle. Their whole body was a single weapon and the power rolled down from them and made the soldiers' hairs stand on end. Then they saw how the ablative armor generator activated and began to seal it in an armored shell. A little later, the complete body was surrounded with armor except for the six main wings, as well as the tails. As soon as this was complete Anoth spread his wings and took off.

As soon as Anoth reached a certain height, his eyes went black as the night. The clouds above him reacted on the spot and within a short time a massive storm cell had formed just above him. And this cell got stronger by the second. Soon, the first structures were to be seen, which would soon be one of the most mighty hurricanes the Pokémon world had ever seen. Lightning flashed between the clouds. But these were different. They were not the almost white flashes that came in a thunderstorm, these shone in a very bright golden light. Some of the lightning strikes also hit back on Anoth, giving him surplus energy that the adolescent super cell could not absorb, which in turn was sent back to the super cell without detours, forcing it to grow bigger and stronger.

On the ground, where a few minutes ago the sun was still shining, it was now almost as dark as if the night had broken. Again and again, lightning struck between the clouds, illuminating the ground into a short golden flash. The thunder was partly very loud and was mostly followed by whole lightning salvos. Then suddenly silence, only seconds later you heard not just in one but three places outside the shield a dark rumble and the clouds just above the places began to rotate.

Weather Headquarters

Region: Virbank City and surroundings

.

A man sat in front of his computer and tilted his chair. In the TV, which hung from a bracket on the wall, were constantly running the messages from Virbank City. The last half hour it was news that the city was evacuated. This had happened more often during the last few years, when a city was evacuated and civilians sought shelter in surrounding cities or air-raid shelters. The conflict between Team Rocket had matured to a full-blown war. Meanwhile, the war was down to some minor battles. Nothing serious anymore. Otherwise there was not much interesting and so it came that he sat there in his chair bored out of his mind and staring at the ceiling. So he let his thoughts wander and began daydreaming about the nice acquaintance he had made a few weeks ago in one of the pubs in the city and had now made an appointment for a rendezvous and maybe a little more.

He was rudely roused from his daydreams when suddenly a shrill alarm went off. This alarm surprised him so much that he tipped over backwards with the chair, only to laboriously scramble up again. Only then to stare in disbelief at the monitor, which showed the current weather conditions as a satellite image and pre-evaluated computer presentation.

"That can't be true." he muttered. He stared in disbelief at the super cell, which grew stronger and bigger by the second. An artificial storm, that was out of the question. Was that Tornadus? No, not even Tornadus would have the power to summon such a mighty storm.

There was a reporter on TV right now. It was a live coverage. He had not heard the name of the sender or the reporter.

"... stand here at the entrance to the Virbank Oil plants I would not believe it myself, if I would not see it myself Just now, a giant Pokémon has risen to the sky, it's the very Pokémon the scientists have been talking about a few years ago, and as soon as it was up, the sky began to darken and this huge storm front moved on. " The camera, which had previously pointed to the talking reporter and the barricades just behind him, including soldiers and tanks, swung up to the sky, covered with thick, almost black clouds, and the Pokémon circling in the sky.

.

At the same time

.

Professor Juniper was sitting in front of her lab equipment pondering her latest experiment while the TV was running in the background. She had just turned around when she saw the image of the Pokémon circling under the dark cloud cover. Her jaw dropped. Her experiment was about this mysterious Pokémon. But she just could not figure it out. And now she saw it in the TV picture. It was the best picture she'd ever seen about this completely unknown but very powerful kind. Within seconds she had a notebook and pencil on hand and was taking notes. This image was repeated by every Pokémon professor or prospective professor. Or even trainer who fantasized about catching this Pokémon.

.

Back to the weather station

.

Banned, he watched the TV report, but then he understood it, as he merged the messages of the news and the strange weather. "Arceus help them, they use hurricanes as weapons of war."

.

With Kagami

.

Kagami flew laps above Virbank. She was clearly above the building cyclone beneath her. The two big dragons Krashindzul and Dreynaaral were with her. She was also accompanied by a whole swarm of griffins and huge eagles. It was quiet here above the clouds. Still. That could change anytime.

The first warning she got, that Team Rocket air units had arrived, was a warning from her implants that a rocket would love to smack her. She could do without it very well. She was thus forced to fly an evasive maneuver at the end of the missile raced just barely past her. Immediately she looked in the direction from which the rocket came from and discovered a group of fighter jets which now came closer at top speed. Seconds later, they released a second salvo of missiles. Kagami responded by firing fireballs at the rockets fired at her and destroying them before they could harm her.

Now, however, they started firing at her with MG fire, causing her to move at full speed. For the jet pilots, it looked like she just disappeared. Then she reappeared next to one of the jets and cut off his right wing with a blow with her forelegs. Just to disappear right after it and reappear just seconds later on one of the other jets just to tear down the cockpit canopy and give the pilots a free-flight. Taking the now free pilot's seat, after taking her human form again, she took one herself and set up a magical field over the now drafty cockpit and immediately took one of the other jets in the crosshairs and let the machinegun of the fighter do its work. The enemy jet crashed down, trailing a thick black cloud of smoke.

But now she was the target when the rocket warning of her jet went off, so she quickly got out of the jet and resumed her Drago-Seraphim form during the free fall, while the jet that she had previously used was turned to fire and debris. Falling toward the ground she fired a fireball at one of the other jets. The pilot managed to save himself with the ejection seat. Whether he would come down alive, however, with the enormous energy that was in the clouds, was another question. And Kagami did not really care about this either.

Meanwhile, the dragons were not idle. They had chosen one of the helicopters as their victim. A dragon bit into the cockpit and the other bit into the tail. Then they tore the helicopter apart in the middle. Gravity took over the rest of the work.

One of the griffon had chosen one of the helicopters who were traveling with the side door open. The Griffin had hung down on the skids of the helicopter and simply pulled the shooter who was operating the MG, which was in the open side door, out of the helicopter. Then the griffin himself shimmied in and made short work of the pilots before the griffin jumped out of the helicopter again. The now helpless helicopter crashed into one of the helicopters beside it before both began freefalling to the ground.

Meanwhile, one of the eagles had selected one of the other helicopters as a victim. The gunner fired on him but the eagle was far too agile to get hit. This helicopter was a little different than the previous one. He had no tail rotor but two counter-rotating superimposed main rotors. The eagle activated the Seràakìin. This made the eagle's body begin to show a zebra pattern that glowed golden. As soon as the Seràakìin was fully activated, the eagle accelerated significantly. For the gunner, the eagle was now so fast on the way that the eagle left an afterimage of itself, then suddenly the helicopter wiggled threatening, as the eagle closed his claws on the runners of the helicopter. Barely hung the eagle under the helicopter he directed his head so that it pointed to the cockpit. Immediately afterwards, a golden glowing energy ball formed in front of his open beak, which he shot in the middle of the cockpit in the form of an energy beam. The now burning helicopter began to fall directly afterwards and the eagle simply let go of the runners. Shortly thereafter, he caught himself with his wings and attacked the next helicopter with an energy ball. However, this managed, if only just so, to avoid the approaching bullet, just to open the fire directly on the eagle. This time the eagle had no chance to avoid the projectiles and was hit several times. But even before he could crash at all, the Eagle of Kagami was sent back to the shadow plane. This eagle would not fight in this battle anymore. but he would not die either. Nevertheless, it would take a long time for the eagle to regenerate.

.

With Kumiko

.

While Anoth was preparing for the Team Rocket attack in Virbank and Kagami was busy scraping jets and helicopters, Kumiko was on the open sea looking for the approaching Team Rocket fleet. So far, however, she saw only one thing. Water. And in huge quantities.

Where are they? You have to be here somewhere. She thought and got a little higher. She was traveling in her Drago-Seraphim form and now at an altitude where otherwise the clouds were. So far nothing has been seen of the ships. But her feeling told her that they could not be far away. She was disguised and therefore invisible to the naked eye, and even the radar, that the Rockets used, would simply not be able to detect her. Nevertheless, the Rockets had apparently found a way to locate them anyway. Because she got a warning that a rocket was shot at her.

"Crap!" she cursed and let herself fall. The missile that chased her missed her only by a few inches. Just to correct her course to follow her. Kumiko understood that her camouflage brought her nothing more and let her fall. She instead channeled the energy into her wings to try to outmaneuver the missile. She also activated her armor. This protected her body, but not her wings. She made several maneuvers but the rocket was absolutely not to get rid of.

Let's see if you can dive too. She thought now and went into the dive. She turned into a water dragon and opened her mouth and fired an energy ball at the water surface which detonated on contact with the water surface. This tore the surface tension of the water, so that Kumiko could dive into the water without the otherwise very heavy impact. To Kumikos shock the rocket followed her underwater.

That is impossible! Does it work underwater ?! But you have to run out of fuel eventually.

She could feel that not far away from her that something was pushing water aside. It was a submarine that sailed underwater, making light ripples through the water. Yes, that's how I'm going to get rid of you. She was now holding fast to this. The rocket still close behind her. Seconds later she saw the submarine in front of her. It was clearly a Team Rocket submarine. The big R on the tower and on the sides of the ship made that all too clear. She again increased the speed and went on a collision course with the submarine.

.

Inside the submarine. Bridge.

.

"Sir, we have something on the sonar!" one of the Team Rocket soldiers shouted aboard the ship, which sat in front of the sonar.

The captain of the ship came over to him with an unlit cigar in his mouth. "What is there?"

"Sir, this object has just appeared and is moving at high speed through the water."

"How high?"

"About the speed of one of our torpedoes, sir." Suddenly an alarm went off. "Sir, unknown object is on a collision course."

"Countermeasures and evasive maneuvers!" he ordered. While the submarine tried to run away on one side, it threw out lures, which otherwise have the task of distracting enemy torpedoes.

"Ineffective." it came back from the report and the captain went pale.

Then he dove to the microphone for the on-board intercom and yelled into it: "PREPARE ALL MAN FOR IMPACT!" Immediately afterward, he heard the hatches being closed and locked throughout the ship to keep the ship from sinking in the event of a water breach. It would not save them.

.

The Outside

.

Kumiko was still being followed by the rocket. But the submarine was not far away and she approached quickly. Then she was there. Kumiko approached the submarine to within a few yards and slowed slightly to unlock the rocket, only to descend a few yards from the boat. The rocket could not follow her so quickly and hit the submarine. A massive detonation went through the water as the submarine was torn in half.

I'm off.

Kumiko turned away and started looking for the fleet. This time not from the air but from underwater in her water dragon form. She had also activated Interference Fields to prevent her from being picked up by a rocket of this type again.

It was almost an hour before she could locate the fleet. But then again she could not see the fleet, but she could clearly hear it. The sound of over a dozen ship propellers was clear. She was now very close. Then they were in front of her. A carrier ship with the hull of a catamaran accompanied by 12 corvettes, 8 destroyers and 4 cruisers as well as 2 battleships. Overall, the fleet was 27 ships strong.

She made short work of the first of the Corvettes. She swam close to the ship, only to rip open the full port side of the hull from the ship. The result was that the ship first got hit side and finally capsized and sank.

And there were only eleven corvettes left.

The next she took to herself, in which she first dived deeper, only then to fire an energy beam from below on the ship, which divided the ship smoothly in half. Now the ship's crew understood that they were under attack and dissolved the formation.

Now let's give them a little scare.

No sooner had she thought that her body grew massively. From 40 meters in length to almost 3000 meters. She would be an easy target for torpedoes and rockets in this size. Therefore she would only be able to keep this very tall figure for a relatively short period of time. But still long enough to send some of the ships to the bottom of the sea. Although the missiles and torpedoes were unable to penetrate the armor and armor of the Drago-Seraphim, they still had enough explosive power to tear off their wings. And that's what she wanted to avoid if possible. She also felt that the other submarines were now hurrying to their fleet, and her stomach told her that Team Rocket had something ready for her. And she had rarely fooled that feeling. Anyway, here were a few ships to sink before they could open their fire on the city. And so she turned to the next ship.

The submarines were not there yet, so she started off by getting one of her fore-paws out of the water and dragging one of the corvettes under water. The ship was laughable tiny, in comparison to her.

And then there were only nine left.

For the next ship she dived into deeper waters only to shoot out at high speed and with her mouth wide open. The ship that was right above her had the misfortune to land right between her teeth and was raised several hundred meters into the air, only to crash back into the water with the deck first. No ship was built to withstand such an impact. The ship was literally torn to shreds by the impact into the water. She could feel, as the water calmed down a bit, as the submarines came closer. It would not be long before they were here. With that thought she dived again.

.

10 seconds earlier on the ship

.

"Oh shit." muttered one of the sailors who had just made the mistake to look over the railing and saw under the water surface a gigantic mouth with equally gigantic teeth that was coming right at them. When the ship shot up into the air he lost his balance and hit the ground with enough force to knock him unconscious.

Those who were in the hull itself did not fare much different. They were pressed by the high acceleration forces to the ground. Then the ship came to a standstill and they felt like they were turned over, causing the sailors to fall down onto the ceiling, or to freefall to the water below for those who were on deck. This condition lasted less than a second, then they shot down into the water, which made the crew fly up to stick to the floor, which formed the ceiling in their condition. The impact on the water that followed made them fall down again on the ceiling with such a force that for most people the light went out forever. The rest went down with the now shattered ship.

.

On the flagship.

.

"By Arceus!" cried one of the sailors.

"What's this?!" another called.

"We are fucked." meant a third.

Meanwhile, the captain on the bridge of one of the ships did not fare much better. He had seen, just like the sailors who stood at the railing, how a ship was simply pulled underwater by a gigantic claw and another was lifted up, only to end up upside down and shattered in the water. His brain was working at full speed to do anything against this giant. And actually, he had only one choice anyway.

"Fire everything we have!"

.

Back outside

.

Kumiko dived again. The submarines were now barely a minute away. As soon as she was deep enough, she sighted the next ship and shot up. As with the previous ship, this was lifted out of the water, only to be dumped directly onto another ship. Needless to say, neither ship survived this collision. When the two ships crashed together, several of their rockets who were sitting in a rocket launcher on board exploded. The explosion reduced both ships to shrapnel. These missiles were equipped with an experimental matter-antimatter warhead, and as the force fields that kept antimatter from contacting with the matter part were not that stable and failed. The instantaneous annihilation of matter and antimatter released a massive amount of energy. The resulting gigantic fireball and flash of light was still visible from Virbank City.

The submarines were now in range and did not hesitate to fire their torpedoes. Kumiko's huge figure was not very agile, making it an easy target for these torpedoes. However, she had already developed an idea to cope with it. So she took direct course on one of the other submarines. The torpedoes close behind her. As soon as she was practically directly above the other submarine she made a super fast reverse transformation. From 300m shoulder height and nearly 3000m in length down to 10m shoulder height and 100m length. This transformation took place within a fraction of a second, which resulted in the resulting cavity filling with water again. The collapsing water not only destroyed the submarine and pulled another ship into the depths of the ocean, but also exploded the torpedoes. Kumiko protected herself by teleporting high in the air and attacking from above.

And there were only five left.

Now she saw the main ship from the air, of which she had previously only seen the hull of. It turned out that the ship was a combination of aircraft carrier and battleship. And exactly from this aircraft carrier started at the moment several hunters and helicopters with the obvious goal to make their life as hard as possible. Kumiko, meanwhile, targeted the next ship. This answered her with rocket fire. Kumiko cursed mentally and went into the dive, with the result that the missiles shot just above them and then turn around to pursue them again. To Kumikos she had to realize that one of the missiles, which had just been shot down by one of the hunters split into several smaller rockets, which they were now pursuing, leaving behind a trail of smoke in the form of a helix.

Spiral missiles ?!

She knew this type of missile all too well. They were almost impossible to escape. Very fast and very agile. But they had a weakness. They were heat-seeking missiles. They let themselves be lured. The only way to escape this rocket. But that did not help much, if they were too close to you. The explosion of antimatter warheads would bring you down too. No matter if they detonated right at you or a few hundred meters behind you. Kumiko had no other choice. She had to rely on her armor. With this knowledge in mind, Kumiko caused several balls of plasma gas to form between her front paws, which she then threw behind her and then quickly made herself sparse.

The blast, which followed just two seconds later, and the ensuing blast made her lose control of her flight and let her fall uncontrolled to the ground or water in this case. She was quite high in the air, which allowed her to stop her fall just above the water surface. Still, she was too close to the explosion. Her wings were severely damaged, forcing her to pump energy into her wings to close the wounds. It took only a few seconds, yet it was more than enough that the circling fighter planes could zero in on her to launch more missiles at her.

"Crap!" She cursed when her implants told her that more missiles had zeroed in on her. Fortunately, there were relatively slow and not very agile rockets that had been fired at her. Kumiko directed energy into her wings, which then began to glow golden and then shot upward, only through the manipulation of the energy field which now enveloped her wings in the form of a golden shining aura. The missiles could not follow this abrupt change in altitude and hit the surface of the water, where they exploded on impact.

That was close. She thought, followed by a relieved sigh. Her relief, however, should be short-lived. What are those things ?!

₱ On behalf of our Masters. You will fall here! Impure creature!

Impure creature? She thought in disbelief as she examined the aura of the Pokémon that came towards her. It was absolutely black. Not a single lighter spot. If someone is impure, they are! And she was right. There aura stank of malice. Not even with the Pokémon of Team Dim Sun was the aura so disfigured.

What was floating in front of her was easily described in only one word.

Ugly.

A mix of a cockroach, a spider and a scorpion. A creature that should never have existed. No doubt their origin was in the laboratories of Team Rocket. Even though each one was not much more than a nuisance. But this nuisance went into the hundreds and became a mature problem. She did not get much time to think about it either, as she had to avoid a sudden attack. As soon as she was gone, the energy of several hundred hyper beams exploded in a massive explosion just below her.

Kumiko responded to the attack with three fired energy balls, each fired from one of her front paws and one from her mouth. The creatures avoided it, but it did not help them very much. All three energy balls detonated in the middle of the swarm and destroyed them in the dozens. But for every Pokémon she tore apart with her energy balls, two others took their place. Immediately Kumiko just dropped down, a second later a whole salvo of thorns shot through the place where she was a second ago. And these thorns, as her nose told her, were dripping with venom. She caught her free fall quickly and from then on, a cat and mouse game started in the middle of the air. Again and again she fired energy balls into the swarm, but it was as if she was trying to destroy a windmill with a toothpick. She did bring down hundreds of them, but there were more and more. When she broke up another group, she realized why. Those who took them down in parts formed themselves down into two or more that grew up to adult size in seconds, then plunged directly into combat.

So that's it. She thought as she dodged a hyper beam followed by another cloud of poisonous thorns. So I have to completely vaporize them, so they do not get up again. So she began to accumulate something in her mouth, which at first glance looked like ice. Then she made a 180-degree turn in the middle of the flight and had a storm of extreme-point diamond fragments nailed to the creatures. Several dozen were hit. The ice thorns bored through them. What followed was something the Seraphim called cold vaporization. These ice thorns had been cooled to below absolute zero. Something only their magic allowed them to achieve. At almost -4,000 degrees Celsius, the organic matter was cooled down so much that the bodies disintegrated at the molecular level. They did not recover from that either.

The victims of this attack fell dead or dying. The others could not react fast enough and chased past her. Just to divide directly afterwards into three groups. One group moved to the left, the other in the opposite direction. Kagami made short work of the troop in front of her with another storm of super-cooled ice chips before she was forced to fly evasive maneuvers when the two groups attacked her from the sides.

What she did not notice was that there was another group of these creatures right below her. They had already prepared a trap for her. An invisible web that Kumiko flew right in. Immediately, the net wrapped itself around her so that she could no longer fly and began to fall. However, Kumiko managed to stop her fall by surrounding herself with her own aura that stopped her fall and she started to float in the air. Seconds later, the net was disassembled with a massive aura discharge. Just so see that these creatures had combined their hyper beams into a single powerful ray. And it was already too late to dodge.

That's going to hurt. That was the only thought that still went through her head, then she was already hit. Although their Ablative armor could withstand a lot, the best protection was not to get hit at all. This attack was too much for the armor and just pierced it to come out on the other side. The beam had completely pierced her. With a hole in her chest, she plummeted down to the surface of the water just seconds later, as her body sank. What none of them knew was that although the Drago-Seraphim were dead, they had the disgusting habit of not staying dead for their enemies. The Black Sun, to which every Drago-Seraphim had access, if he wanted to, was already repairing the damage.

The Black Sun, some would call it black magic, and yet it was just a tool. It was also called a soul sun. With their help, they were able to wrest their souls from enemy units and then use the energy stored in the soul for regeneration or even attack. A relatively short but very strong energy boost. When the energy of the souls trapped in the sun was consumed, they were released. The capacity of the Black Sun is not unlimited, but most can accommodate between 15,000 and 25,000 souls. The Lazarus Curse comes with the Black Sun. While this curse does not prevent them from dying, but as the name implies, they do not stay dead. In addition, the Black Sun prevents them from falling to dark or even black magic because their seductive powers were absorbed by the Black Sun. Meaning they can apply dark and black magic as often as they want, without running the risk of falling to their clutches.

One rule applies if you kill a Seraphim or even a Drago-Seraphim.

Run!

Run like hell!

Because when it comes back it will be pissed of beyond anything you have ever seen.

A lesson that team rocket will learn shortly.

Harry startled awake. Did he just dream that?

No, that felt too real to be a dream. But where did it come from?

He just could not explain it. He had a feeling with her as if she looked familiar, but somehow he could not really grab it. It was kind of like Sirius and Remus. He felt that they needed to know him, but he did not know why. It was more of a gut feeling. Harry sighed and looked around.

He was again in Dudley's second bedroom in the home of the oh-so-gracious Dursley family. Harry also lovingly called it Durskaban. Complete with locked door with cat flap and barred window. His room itself was equipped with an old broken bed, a desk that was just as old as and broken as the bed, a chair that was about to destroy itself, and a closet that was held together only by air and love. In short the whole furniture was trash. Not to mention the mattress.

Actually, that was no wonder at all. All these pieces of furniture came from bulky waste. "Freaks like you deserve nothing else!" Vernon's words. Damned asshole.

Yes, the Dursleys really had a lot of love left for him. The only pieces of furniture that could be described as halfway intact were the bookshelf, the nightstand, and the dresser on that Hedwig's cage stood. Hedwig herself was out hunting. The bars in front the window were just wide enough to fly through.

It had not been a vision of Voldemort like the last two. His scar was not burning. There was something different about these visions. He just could not believe it, although he felt that it almost had to jump in his face.

His gaze wandered over to the window and then swept towards the stars, not for the first time pulling him right there. To the world that hid up there. Behind the stars. Behind the borders of this planet. Harry sighed. As much as he wished it would never come true. But that did not stop him from dreaming and firmly believing that it could eventually become a reality. Fortunately, the imagination knew no shackles.

His thoughts drifted to Hogwarts. And the strange events there in the last three years.

It all started with a letter. nothing unusual. The only thing that stood out was the way he had been addressed.

Mr. H. Potter

In the cupboard under the stairs

Privet Drive 4

Little Whinging

Surrey

In the cupboard under the stairs. Did not anyone notice that? Or was this a completely automatic system? Whatever it was. It was strange.

Then there was the troll. Quirrelmort ran cowardly, as he entered into the great hall and roared around that a troll was in the dungeon. Then Dumbledork calls for all houses to be return to their dormitories. The Slytherins and the Hufflepuffs had their dorm rooms in the dungeons. Did he want to give half of the students to the troll to eat, smash and kill?

Why was Dumbledore not suspicious about Quirrel. Quirrel was a troll expert. A single troll should be no problem for him at all.

Then the stone. Dumbledore had disappeared by accident. Was called to the Ministry. and this old idiot takes just a broom to get there? There were far faster methods. Floo, apparition or portkey. Strange.

Harry managed to save the stone but still it raised another question. Why was the stone in the school at all? The Flamels had it for several centuries and had survived several so-called Dark Lords who wanted to have the stone. Why should it be safer in a school of all places, behind obstacles that first graders could overcome. That made no sense. Then of course there was the question, was the stone really destroyed or was it now in Dumbledore's possession? And how had Dumbledore got the stone in the first place?

Then the second year. He realized he was a parselmouth. The result was that almost the entire school turned away from him and turned their back on him. More than that, he was also referred to as the next Dark Lord in training. Damn sheep! And what is Dumbledore doing? Except that he ate his damn lemon drops absolutely nothing.

Then the chamber itself. Dumbledore had 50 years to find it. And yet he has not found it. Hagrid was arrested because he was suspected of having opened the chamber. All he had was an acramantula. These were not able to petrify anyone. Why did a second grader need to figure out that the beast in the chamber was a basilisk? That was pretty obvious or not?

Slytherin loved snakes. He was also a parselmouth himself. Then came the fact that all cocks had been killed on the grounds of the school. That was actually enough of clues to find out what it was. After all, there were not many creatures that could petrify their targets with their eyes.

Not to mention the two teachers he'd hired for those two years. The first a stuttering thing that barely got a sentence without stuttering and had Voldemort sitting in the back of his head. And the second. He was nothing but a fraud and was now in very good hands in St. Mungos.

Then all the incidents at school in the second year.

First the cat of Filch.

Followed by Colin Creevey.

Followed by Justin Flinch-Fletschley and nearly headless Nick.

Then Harry's girlfriend Hermione Granger and Penelope Clearwater were petrified. And still, Dumbledore did nothing to protect the students. Although it was already the fourth incident. No, it was up to Hermione to find out what that beast was and for Harry to defeat it.

And then in the year three Sirius Black. Sirius was innocent. That had been proven by Pettigrew. But why did he not get a hearing anyway? Dumbledore was Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot.

And now he was back at the Dursleys. Although he had repeatedly told him that he did not want to go back here.

But that was not all. Looking farther back, this raised further questions. Why had Dumbledore sent Hagrid to take him from Godric's Hollow to Privet Drive? If Death Eaters were still there, Hagrid could not have defended himself. And then comes the question again why was Sirius Black rushing like a madman after Pettigrew. Did Dumbledore have anything to do with it?

Or was it his own stupidity.

Harry sighed. To many questions. Too few answers.

His eyes swept over to the glasses still on his nightstand. He had not needed them for some time. The glasses in it had been replaced with plain glass. He only wore them so the others would not suspect anything.

Something in him was about to make his way to the surface. And that since the first time he set foot in the so-called magical world. As far as his body was concerned. Only through the skillful use of various masking spells did he still look like this. Thin and malnourished as he used to be.

Then there were the voices in his head. Some would say that he belonged in the padded cell in an I-love-myself jacket. But these voices were different. They belonged to three beings that were in him. Two dog-like figures and a dragoness. He shook as he thought of how the fight against the basilisk would have ended without the three helping him with their experience. Certainly. He had got the sword out of the sorting hat and Fawkes had previously scrounged the basilisk's eyes. But he simply did not have the experience to fight with a sword. Without the three, he would probably have been a chewing toy for the basilisk.

It was stupid that he could only understand the three clearly when he was in an emergency situation.

Harry glanced at his taped-up clock that Dudley had sometime thrown against a wall and found that it was half past one in the morning. With nothing else to do, he pushed the thoughts into the back of his head and went back to sleep.

.

Back to Kumiko

.

Several minutes had passed when Kumiko had flown into the trap of these insects. The Black Sun had almost finished its work. Kumiko's eyes flew open as her body turned into a water dragon by itself. Kumiko only needed seconds to stabilize and stop her uncontrolled dive. As soon as she had managed to swim up and breach the surface. There was no sign of the fleet. Except for a burning and slowly sinking wreck of one of the frigates.

Bastards! She snorted. So you want to play it that way? As you wish! From now on I will not hold back! Something was about to happen to the Rockets that some of the different species the seraphim had already encountered referred to as "The Revenge of a God."

She had previously assumed the shape of a water dragon, when she simply pulled several of the ships underwater, but then decided, because of the missiles and torpedoes, that a smaller form would be an advantage to avoid them and not take the risk of being hit. Even if they were primitive, matter-antimatter warheads they could quite easily rip of her wings. Now she used a slightly modified tactic.

She let the Seràakìin run free through her body, which she had now transformed back into the shape of a Drago-Seraphim, and fed every single focus point to her entire body. The Shadowbeasts, meanwhile, on her Shadow Plane, took control of those focal points, which now worked like independent turrets. At least in the same way. It was a kind of gambling. Her armor had been so badly damaged by the previous attack that it had failed and although the enemy's missiles were primitive for their standards, only a single hit would be enough to rip her to shreds. Although she would still be brought back by the Lazarus curse, only this time it would be much more uncomfortable and take much longer than to stuff a simple hole. Her body would be pieced together bit by bit, only then she would awaken somewhere halfway through the process and experience the rest fully conscious. Very, very painful. It would not be the first time she would experience that. And she could really do without that.

She now needed a size large enough to allow her strong energy attacks but small enough that she could still effectively fly evasive maneuvers. She decided for a height of about 30m. This brought her total body length to 284 meters with 672 meters wingspan. It was still enormous compared to a frigate, being more than three and a half times as long as the small 80-meter frigates of Team Rocket, yet small enough that she could still fly relatively well avoidance maneuvers as long as she kept far enough distance.

She could no longer rely on her ablative armor. The attack had hit the main controller, rendering it useless. The ablative armor functioned by laying solid plates over the entire body with the help of nanites and an ablative generator. This type of armor was almost impenetrable. But if enough firepower was focused on one point, it gave way. This is practically an active version of an armor of the same name. However, this armor of the same name reacted only passively. By peeling off piece by piece by shelling, forming a second layer of shell armor. Ships of the Seraphimian Alliance are equipped with both as standard. An ablative armor for a person or creature is always one that is attached by an ablative generator. However, if the main armor control is destroyed, it will fail completely. And that was exactly the case with Kumiko.

Not enough, she was soaking wet through her involuntary bath. This undid the natural protection that the coat gave her. Although this was very soft when you passed through the hand, but hit something at high speed it was hard as steel. She still had thick scales, but these covered only part of her body and only offered mediocre protection. Quite apart from the fact that they only ran over their ventral side. A few powerful wing beats later, she was in the air, looking for the fleet that could not be very far away yet.

It only took a few minutes and she had found the fleet again. Again, missiles were fired, only this time several points on her body began to light up brightly and shortly thereafter fired at the missiles that were destroyed even before she could reach them. An effective point defense. In response, the Rockets only sent up more missiles, but now Kumiko knew where they were coming from. They came from only one ship. Namely from one of the four cruisers. And that's exactly what she was now targeting.

So you were the one who could find me when I flew under camouflage huh? Not for much longer.

She gathered in her mouth an energy ball, which formed shortly thereafter in a gold luminous beam, which she aligned with the ship. Although this beam does no damage at all, it allows attacks on moving targets by simply holding the beam to the target while the actual attack follows this beam. That's exactly what happened here. As soon as the guide beam was aimed at the ship Kumiko began to accumulate even more energy. Seen from the ships, it looked as if a new sun was forming in the creature's mouth, so bright did it shine down upon them. Then there was a loud thunder as Kumiko fired that solar globe, which immediately began to follow the guiding light. The cruiser's captain must have noticed the danger as the ship tried to dodge. It would not do them any good. Kumiko just had to realign the beacon, so it was still lying on the cruiser. The solar globe took only a second to follow the beam and then drilled deep into the guts of the cruiser.

There nothing happened for the first few seconds. After it had melted her way into the inner, it came to a halt in the middle of the ship. The solar globe pulsed there, floating freely in a room, in front of a crew member. But if you looked more closely you saw that the sphere was shrinking more and more. Well, that was only possible, of course, if you did not first go blind with the very bright light. For a long time, they did not have time to look at the solar globe. Only seconds later, it had compressed so much that it exploded.

The solar globe is something very interesting. From the outside, it might look like it's going to explode. After all, it did not really do that. It destroys the enemies by literally creating, if only for a few seconds, a miniature sun that simply evaporates everything that touches it at a good 150 million to almost 300 million degrees Celsius. The cruiser, as well as the adjacent frigate, was simply vaporized. A battleship, which was to close to the cruiser was so badly damaged that it capsized when the port side (left side, seen in the direction of travel) of the ship ceased to exist. Immediately afterwards, the glittering bright fireball fell back into itself. What remained was a mushroom-shaped cloud that grew quickly upwards.

Now the fleet consisted only of the carrier, a battleship, three cruisers and four frigates. Nine ships. The submarines were all destroyed. But now she got back new, old, problems. The helicopters and fighter jets as well as the Pokémon of Team Rocket now went into the counterattack. This excluded another attack with the sun balls. In order to use it, she needed a free trajectory for the beacon. This attack took one, otherwise the solar globe would become unstable and detonate immediately after launch. But now, with the many swirling targets around, this free shot path was simply gone. In addition, it would take too long to charge another attack. The hunters would have a very simple target during this time. Just align the hunters and fire the MG and Kumiko would have to go through a new Lazarus trip. No thanks.

That's exactly what happened. Two of the jets were aimed at her and so Kumiko was forced to dive. The bullets passed just above her. Her fur was still wet, negating the natural protection, but even if it did not, ammunition designed to crack a shell would not be able to stop the fur anyway. These jets had to leave first. They were the ones who could become the most dangerous at the moment. Then, of course, those insect Pokémon that Team Rocket had created came once again. They were on a par with their danger with the jets. however, they were far too slow for the pace, which they now revealed with the help of the Seràakìin, which led them directly into their wings.

With the jets close on her heels, Kumiko was forced to fly evasive maneuvers after evasive maneuvers, while tracers and missiles missed them just barely. Meanwhile, the helicopters and the creatures held their positions by the ships and whirled around them like bees around a hive. Once again, their implants informed her that rockets had been fired at her, and she dodged them again, while some of the focal-point-fired energy orbs destroyed the missiles that stubbornly tried to track them. Unmediated made Kumiko in the air a 180 ° turn and opened the fire on the jets with a volley of fireballs. Some of the jets managed to dodge it but several others had to take a direct hit and exploded in the air. As soon as that was over, she dropped down as the jets raced past her. Only a split second before, Kumiko had diverted the energy she had previously channeled into her wings into the focus points. The shadow beasts controlling the focus points wasted no time in releasing the extra energy in the form of multiple beams that plucked four more jets out of the sky and severely damaged two more that forced the pilot to use the ejection seat.

With that, six more jets were gone. Together with the eight shot down with the fireballs, this was fourteen of the twenty jets that had been taken out of the game. Remained six. These, however, were mad at her and now they raked them with machine gun fire. Kumiko recharged energy into her wings, which began to glow and accelerated her at an almost crazy speed. Your own version of the flashback. For a Mark 1 eyeball, it looked like she was teleporting. In fact, she was just too fast to be seen with the naked eye. And so it happened that she was no longer there when the bullets reached the place.

And so it also came as a surprise for the pilots of the jets, when she suddenly appeared right next to one of their own again, only to split the jet with their claws in half and immediately disappear on it again. The same thing was repeated five more times. Where the last attempted evasive maneuvers and unpredictable fly. It has brought him a few seconds longer life. But then he too, wrapped in a ball of fire, fell down into the sea.

The final result for Kumiko were a few new holes in the wings and minor injuries, due to a few shots. Nothing serious. They would have healed within the next minute.

Now Kumiko had a well-known problem again. She had lost the fleet again. And so slowly her time ran away. If the calculations of her implant were correct, and she had no reason to doubt it, the fleet was only about 40 minutes from reaching the maximum firing range of their missiles. Time worked against her. Where was the navy of Unova?

To Anoth in Virbank City

One thing he had to give the Rockets. They really marched with everything they had left. Helicopters, tanks and a whole bunch of strange-looking machines. Partly in the design of well-known Pokémon species. In addition, a good division of foot soldiers supported by lighter vehicles such as Jeeps, halftracks and Anoth could swear that he had also seen a few Hover tanks.

Hover tanks were among the light to medium armored vehicles, which was simply because their propulsion system did not get a heavily armored vehicle off the ground. They were too heavy. The heavier the armor the bigger the drive has to be and in order to pick it up the vehicle has to get bigger again and in order to be sufficiently protected again it needs more armor on it which again calls for a stronger drive. A wonderful vicious circle. In the end it remained at the middle to light armor. Since their armor was not the best, but they were very fast on their drive, these vehicles must use their agility for their protection.

But right now something else was worrying him a lot more. Something that came to the fore when the hurricanes he brought up touched the ground, or better, the lack of ground contact. The approaching troops were protected by an energy shield, which nullified the effect of the hurricanes.

They have shields ?! But where-

Then Anoth noticed two tanks, which drove in the middle of the troop and were completely differently configured. Instead of a turret, they had something that looked like a satellite dish pointing upright and were shining with bright blue light. These two tanks were followed by four others each, who also had no gun barrel, but instead carried 2 reactors, which were connected with arm-thick cables to the tanks with the shield generator.

Shield generators? From where did the shield generators come from?

Then Anoth remembered. It was a few years ago. More precisely, three years before the outbreak of the conflict.

Flashback

Three years before the outbreak of the conflict.

#################################################################

.

Anoth's group headed for a small region called Orre. They had chosen their Wind Elemental Wolf shape for the flight. In this shape, they were almost invisible. If you looked up from below, where they flew, there were only shadowy figures to be seen there, if you noticed them at all. However, if you were to hold your Pokédex on it, it would identify you as a Pokémon. Some of the researchers took the freedom to enter them in the Pokémon Index. As a result, some Pokémon hunters and Pokémon collectors tried to catch them. Not that even one of them would succeed.

They were on their way to Orre because of reports and rumors from another criminal team there. A team that described itself as Team Crypto and a second smaller team working with Team Cipher. Team Snagem.

Anoth's Group was on their way to Orre at the request of the Pokémon League itself. Anoth and his companions were allowed to hand over medals themselves, which were valid in each region. Handicap, however, was to find them, because they never stayed long in one place. However, this ensured that in the Pokénet forums were formed that had only one topic. Where were those who handed out those medals now? That, in turn, made Anoth and his people switch positions even more frequently.

The battles against Anoth, Kagami, Kumiko, Konoko or Mitara were very difficult. So difficult that there was a special regulation for them. Hold on for 10 minutes and you have the medal. For most who challenged them were these 10 minutes the longest 10 minutes of their lives. The Pokémon of Anoth and Co. were strong enough to send even a champion level Pokémon with type superiority on his side, with a single blow to Lala land.

The reigning champion of Kanto, Lance, was one of those who could feel quite clearly how high the power difference was. Yes, even the champions needed this medal if they wanted to take part in the, not so secret, Master of Champions League. The League that crowns the Pokémon Master and is considered the most difficult of all leagues. In contrast, the regional league looked like a game in the sandbox. Held every 10 years and broadcast live to the entire Pokémon world, this was the top league. There was a Pokémon master at the moment. He was just called Red. His real name is unknown. Officially. Anoth and his group knew his real name. And so did the Pokémon league.

The whole thing was launched by an idea of a certain Charles Goodshow. He had watched them plowing through the regional victories just to retire with targeted actions in the penultimate round or final. The reason behind it was simple. They had no desire to be appointed champion in any form and to assume the duties associated with it. It was not so much the duties, as the flash storm in which the Champions found themselves in. Granted at the time Charles was still a youngster of just beginning twenties. But he already held a high position in the Pokémon league. He had the task of his superiors to find trainers who were strong enough to serve as editors of the Order. And these five were ideal. That observation made him sit down with them to discuss things. After some back and forth the contract was nailed out and signed.

Lance was one of those in recent years who challenged Anoth for the Order. The first encounter with him, however, ended already after 3 minutes with a crushing defeat for Lance. He had clearly underestimated Anoth and his Pokémon. However, this ensured that Siegfried upped his training regiment clearly and for the emergence of a certain Dragoniteking in the forum. That made Anoth grin. It was really not hard to guess who hid behind this pseudonym.

The second encounter almost three years later then brought Siegfried the desired success, even if it was conceivable tight. He had challenged one of Anoth's Suicune, just like the first time. That made for the inevitable question of where did Anoth get all the Suicune that he now had. Anoth's answer was one that Siegfried had not expected. They were just an evolution of Vaporeon. And to convey the point, he showed him with his Pokédex a record of the transformation of an Vaporeon into a Suicune. The question of how, he kept to himself. Much to the annoyance of Lance.

The fight was very, very difficult for Siegfried. His first five Pokémon were beaten in seven minutes and in the end his Dragonite was saved only by the ringing of the clock. However, he had survived the ten minutes and earned the DiSune Order.

The DiSune medal was circular and had a diameter of about eight centimeters and a centimeter thick. It was much taller and heavier than any other medal. On this medal were Anoth's signature Pokémon pictured. On one side a Dicune, who looked like a Suicune crossed with Dialga and kept the basic shape of a Suicune and on the other side a Suicune. With a little imagination, it looked like the two were chasing each other. In the middle between the two chasing Pokémon was the crown of a Suicune. Where the hole was in the crown, there was one in the coin. The coin-shaped medal was a good one centimeter thick and weighed about 100 grams. The name was easy to explain. The "Di" was for Dicune and the "Su" for Suicune then a "ne" behind it to make it sound better and ready. The other medals were built along the same muster. They all showed the two signature Pokémon of the one who had been challenged.

Kagami had a almost twice the size of normal Luxtra, as well as the griffin-shaped evolution of Braviary, Greishak. While a Braviary came to a size of about 1.5m a Greishak was much larger. He reached a shoulder height of about 2.5m with a wingspan of about 12m. The color scheme retained the Braviary. The wing span alone was enough to scare many of the opponents. With her it was the GreiLutra medal.

Mitara had a Palopasus, which was basically a twice as large Rapidash with huge flaming wings and the precursor of the aforementioned. A Rapidash that was about one and a half times bigger than normal. With her it was the PaloRapi medal.

Kumiko had an Adnokana, the evolution of Arbok, 10 times as long as an Arbok, it was really a giant snake with its 35 meters. The other Pokémon was also an evolution of Arbok. Abodra, at just 20 meters only about half the size of Adnokana, but an opponent that is not so easy to beat. The basic color pattern remained the same for both, yet their differences stood out in both, not only by the enormous size increase. Here it was the AdAbra Order.

Konoko had a Persian that was three times the size of a normal Persian and had wings. A so-called Mansokat. As well as an Entei, which incidentally is the further development of Flareon. The ManEnei medal.

Every medal had a different design, weight and a different size.

And these medals had a system integrated in them that made it as good as impossible to falsify the medals.

There were really people who produced fakes of this medals to sell them at a very steep prize.

In order to participate in the league Siegfried also needed the other four medals. Unlike most other leagues, participants were not invited. They had to fight for the right to participate in this league. You did not qualify because you were the champion of one of the regional leagues or one of the elite four. You needed these five medals. Otherwise you are going nowhere.

On the way to Orre they flew over a large, largely unexplored, mountain range. A look down revealed nothing out of the ordinary. snowy mountains and deep valleys. Rock and stone. At least that was the case until they flew over another slightly larger valley.

'Anoth.' This was Konoko's voice, which Anoth now telepathically contacted. 'Look down.'

When Anoth looked down and started circling the area, he discovered there was something between the rocks. He could not really tell from that height what it was because it was mostly covered with snow and boulders.

'Should we take a closer look?' That was Kagami's asking.

'Why not.' Anoth answered. 'We are one day early to attend the meeting with the professor.'

When they landed, Kumiko was the first to realize that, whatever it was, it had been here for a very long time. Holes everywhere. They ranged from the thickness of a finger to the size of a bus. The slowly disintegrating metal as well as the metal type and the decay of the same told her that the damages were at least 1000 years old. What she also noticed was that the shell was several feet thick.

'Whatever it is, it's been here for a long time.' Kumiko said as she looked at the slowly decaying edges of one of the holes.

'It's a spaceship.' that was Mitara.

'A spaceship?' Anoth asked.

'Yes, a spaceship.' confirmed Mitara.

'And how did you come to this conclusion?' Kagami asked.

'I chased an impulse through the ship.' She activated the holographic projector on her back. 'Even if the design is unknown to me.' In front of her was a hologram of the ship. It showed enormous damage. Damage that suggested that the ship had been involved in a fight.

'Does it come from this dimension?' Anoth asked out of an impulse.

'Negative.' Answered Konoko. 'The quantum signatures have adapted to a large extent to the local ones, but I still discover signatures that do not belong to this dimension.'

'Can you tell where it came from?'

'Yes. It comes from the dimension K-401-D. ' Dimensions with letters Number combinations were unexplored dimensions. The only thing the Seraphim knew about them was that they existed and their quantum signature. Not more.

'K-401-D? No wonder the design is unknown. ' Anoth said telepathically. 'Let's take a look from the inside?'

'Yes. Let's take a look inside. ' said Mitara. It was not long before the group found in Loch that was big enough to get inside the ship. The ship was dark. It had no energy at all. After over 1000 years, that was not really surprising and if you expect the damage even with calculated absolutely.

To enter the ship, Anoth, Kagami, Konoko, Mitara and Kumiko transformed into their Human Forms. In their Elemental Wolf figures in which they had landed on the ship, they were simply too big.

A short time later, they found themselves in one of the ship's many corridors. Her aura rifles were at the ready. They did not expect that they would need them. But caution was still better than forbearance, according to the motto: better have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Anoth had turned off two of his Shadowbeasts to observe the environment. Two demon cats with two tails named Mirara and Sirara. He wanted the area to be watched as they were in an area where there had recently been high activity by Team Galactic and the Team Plasma Loyalists. And he assumed that this wreckage was the reason.

The Team Plasma Loyalists continued to follow Ghetsis Harmonia's role model. Even if he was defeated years ago. And after what Anoth knew, he was still in a high-security prison for life imprisonment. The separatists followed Natural Harmonia Gropius. Or just N. Their symbols were easy to distinguish. While the Loyalists kept the old symbol unchanged, the Separatists had packed the symbol in new colors and placed a crown over the symbol. As a sign that they were following their King N.

So far, however, there was no trace of any of the groups. The wreck was dead quiet.

"Should we let out our shadow beasts?" Kagami asked.

"Negative." Anoth answered. "A small group is better at the moment, the ship seems to be dead, but we do not know what lurks inside." He took a short break to think. If his calculations were true of the data that provided the pulses he had send through the ship just before entering the wreckage, they were somewhere near the engine room of the ship. Or at least a large room that was in the middle of the ship. Whatever it was, they would find it out. "Let's search the engine room."

The way through the ship was calm. No contacts and no energy. Every door that blocked their way had to be broken open or cut open to get forward. The passageways and corridors were sometimes severely deformed and not infrequently blocked with rubble in the way. A testament to how heavy the impact on the planet had been. Then finally they arrived in the engine room. Unlike the rest of the ship, which was completely dark, there was still energy here, albeit just enough for the red emergency lights and a single computer console.

"See what you can pull out of the console." Anoth said to Konoko pointing to one of the computer console on the wall that still had energy. Konoko walked over to the console without saying a word and started typing on the holographic interface. Meanwhile, Anoth took a closer look at the engine room. Dozens of consoles hung on the wall. Most of them destroyed or without energy. In the middle of the room was a table that was once probably a holographic image of the machines. Now it was broken and in pieces. When he let his gaze wander over the engine room, he noticed two empty areas. As he took a closer look at one of the surfaces he saw that one of this places was the place for a shield generator. But this was one was removed by anyone. And those who removed the generator were not engineers. It looked as if the wires to the generator had been breached by a Pokémon. Probably with iron tail or a similar attack.

"What do you think?" that was Kagami standing next to Anoth.

"Someone has removed the two shield generators." said Anoth.

"And it was not done very squeamishly." Kagami said, looking at the damage.

"Yes, let's keep looking." Anoth said as he went into the engine room.

"Judging by my scan, these are cold fusion reactors." Kagami said as she pointed at two rows of five cube-shaped blocks in the middle of which a jetty ran. "All offline."

"That does not surprise me - after more than a thousand years, they used up their fuel ages ago." Anoth said as he followed the jetty between the reactors and through a short corridor into an adjoining room. Kagami followed him. The room they entered was dominated by a large machine in the middle. However, this was so badly destroyed that it was hard to tell what it once was for a machine. It added that the walls of the room were completely black with soot. While the emergency lighting in the engine room still worked halfway, this room was completely dark. They could only see because they had switched to infrared when they entered the room. This view dipped the room into a color spectrum from blue = cold over red = hot to white = extremely hot. This room was completely in blue tones.

"What do you think that was?" Kagami asked, pointing to the destroyed machine in the middle of the room.

"No idea, too destroyed." Anoth shook her head. "Let's go back to Konoko."

On the way back, the red emergency lights started flickering, then the main lights went online with a buzzing sound.

"Energy restored." Konoko's call came from the console she was still working on. When Anoth and Kagami were back with her, they went on to explain. "I've got the main lights, main computer systems and doors back on."

"What did you get out?" Anoth asked.

"First of all, this is not the main engine room but just a secondary engine room, and the ship has a single squeeze-fusion reactor in the middle of the ship."

"Fuel?"

"Tritium and deuterium, but it's offline too."

"Efficient, what else do you have?"

"I restored the energy with the help of the tertiary reactors, and I also managed to download and translate their log files. This ship was caught up in heavy fighting just before it was thrown into another dimension, damaging the Slipspace Generator as well. They then tried to activate the Slipspace drive and it exploded, sending the ship into another dimension. "

"And the explosion of the Slipspace Generator flooded the ship with exotic particles." Kagami added, whereupon Konoko nodded in agreement.

"That would explain why we did not discover any bodies or at least skeletons here." Anoth said thoughtfully. "But only remnants of armor and weapons."

"Maybe not in this part of the ship, maybe there's more up front." added Kumiko.

"Possible." Anoth turned back to Konoko. "Anything else?"

"If we want more useful information we have to go to the bridge. " Konoko answered.

"Do you have a plan of the ship?"

"Positive."

"Then we'll make our way to there." With these words they left the engine room. Halfway to the bridge, through now self-opening doors, with only one or the other, through which they had to cut their way, because she was so deformed that she could not open on her own, heard a dull sound that echoed through the otherwise silent ship like a clap of thunder.

'Anoth we have contact. Team Galactic and Plasma Loyalists. ' that was Mirara's voice. One of the two demon cats standing outside. 'They have just landed with their helicopters. Six from Team Galactic and two from Team Plasma Loyalists. '

'What are they? Louts? Soldiers?'

'A mix of both.' The difference between the two was that the louts only used their Pokémon while soldiers carried weapons in addition to the Pokémon. Mostly pistols and submachine guns and one or the other with a light machine gun. 'Plus some white coat.'

'Roger that. Keep an eye on them but do not let them see you. '

'Understood. Mirara over and out. '

"What is it?" asked Mitara.

"We get company." Anoth answered. "Team Galactic and Team Plasma Loyalists, bad guys, soldiers and white coats, Mirara and Sirara will keep an eye on them."

"Armaments?"

"Pistols, MPs and Lightweight MGs."

The presence of these two groups basically did not change much. They would just have to be a little bit more careful. It took a few more minutes and another door which they had to cut their way through to get to the bridge. As was the plan, the bridge was in the middle of the ship and apart from a few destroyed consoles it was intact. The muster of the damage said that they mainly overloaded. This damage was not caused by weapons but internal system failures. The main control panels were located on an elevation in the middle of the bridge to which a staircase led. To the right and left of the elevation were two ditches. These were filled with other consoles. Most of them burned out and / or destroyed. The main consoles, however, were intact except for one. Then there were two more big transparent holographic displays. Which at the moment did not show much more than damage reports. The bridge in it totality seemed to be designed so that a single individual can fly the ship. But if necessary more staff could serve it. And at first glance, the room looked more like a throne room than the bridge of a warship.

"Konoko, see if you can pull more out of the system, the rest will make sure that we do not get any uninvited guests here." said Anoth. With these words, Anoth, Kagami, Mitara, and Kumiko took positions in the trenches, keeping an eye on the four doors leading to the bridge.

For the next few minutes it remained calm, during which time Konoko was deeply immersed in the data flow of the ship. She searched sensor reports, records, and history databases as well. There was a lot to discover and Konoko was in the thick of it.

'Anoth. I detected a life sign. 200 meters from here and closing. ' Mitara said telepathically.

'Konoko, do you get the internal sensors online?'

'What's left of it.' was Konoko's answer.

Immediately afterwards, a holographic main screen went online and showed a picture, albeit slightly washed out and blurred.

'These are two Team Galactic ruffians.' Kagami stated. Both had their Pokémon out.

'And two Glameow. If I'm not mistaken. ' added Konoko.

'The two Glameow look a little scared.' Mitara added. 'And malnourished.' She added that as the picture was zoomed in.

'Scouts.' Kumiko stated.

'If I'm not mistaken, Glameow are falling under cats.' Anoth said telepathically.

'I cannot leave here.' Answered Konoko who knew exactly what Anoth wanted.

'Then I'll do it myself.' Anoth said telepathically. "Kagami, Kumiko and Mitara protect Konoko." With these words Anoth left the bridge through one of the doors. It was not hard to find the way to the two. On the one hand, Anoth saw them on his life sign detector, on the other hand, he could perceive it with the help of a spell as schematized figures and the third, they argued rather loudly. Anoth was not interested in the dispute. Apparently it was about which hair color was just the most fashionable. He could hear all this from a distance of over 100 meters.

By that noise... Well they are easy to find. I don't even need my locating magic.

Why they did not use this type of location more often was easy to explain. To find someone through a wall or other places they had to send out waves of energy themselves and these could be located. But none of the criminal teams here in the Pokémon world had the technology to do that. Which did not mean that they did not catch any radiations anyway. Or that they could create a technology that could do it.

When he finally peeked around the corner he could throw his first look at the two quarreling. They were, as the voices already suggested, two Team Galactic ruffians of the female variant. Scientifically: Ruffiandumbassitus or even the idiots on duty (TIOD). However, Anoth's focus was not so much on the two quarreling idiots as on the two Pokémon, which lay just three meters from his current position on the floor and were covering their ears. Now that he could see them directly, the condition of the two became obvious. They were clearly malnourished, Anoth could count her ribs. Anoth opened his camp dimension and took out two Snagballs and a short time later they were his Pokémon. The two still fighting ruffians had not noticed anything at all. The two of them were so engrossed in their argument that Anoth could openly approach them. Seconds later, he was practically right next to the two and they still had not noticed him. Anoth finally put an end to this absolutely senseless quarrel by sending both to the land of dreams with a single touch and a simple deep sleep spell.

Honestly. They could not make it even easier. If only this stupid beeping in the ear would be gone soon.

Anoth ran his little finger into his ear. The annoying beeping disappeared just as fast as it started. As soon as it was gone, he grabbed the two now sleeping buggers by their belts, threw them over his shoulders and marched straight back towards the bridge.

These two will have to answer a few questions.

When Anoth was back on the bridge, he dumped the two not to gently on the ground, where Mitara immediately began to tie them both. Meanwhile, Anoth took the two Snagballs and sent their inhabitants over to regular Pokéballs. Barely had that happened, he let the Snagballs disappear again in his storage dimension, shrank the two Pokéballs and put them in one of his many pockets. Meanwhile, Kagami had taken to interrogating them. To do this, she had simply set the two on one of the boxes lying around and to wake them up, she simply sent a shock through their bodies, which brought them in a rather rough way back into the real world.

"So you two pretty ones." she hissed. "I'll ask you a few questions now, either you're responding so that I'm satisfied or ..." She let one of the blades fly out of her hand and tapped one of the two right in the middle of her chest, right over her heart. "Roger that?"

These blades, which came out of their hands, were not always there. They were built by the nanites, in them, in under a second. So these blades could easily reach a length of up to two meters. The implants that made the blades were under the skin and could not be seen from the outside. These same implants were in two parts. On the one hand, they allowed blades that consisted of a metal that was extremely heat-resistant, as well as plasma blades of pure energy. However, these energy blades were much shorter and only reached a length of about 80cm. Which of the options was used, was based on the opponent who they fought.

Both nodded. The threat, though unspoken, was more than clear.

"What are Team Galactic and the Team Plasma Loyalists looking for?"

"We do not know that." said one of the louts. Kagami dangerously narrowed her eyes.

"We were only told that we should come along to protect the eggheads." added her colleague hastily. Kagami saw Anoth nodding out of the corner of his eye. He read her superficial thoughts all the time during the interrogation. The easiest way to determine if they were telling the truth.

'They do not know why they are here. If we want to find out, we should get one of the scientists. ' Anoth said telepathically.

'Yes. But there are a few questions that even those can answer. ' Kagami said telepathically.

'Then ask.'

"How many of you are here?" she asked again loudly.

"Eighty." Said the one.

"Sixty buggers, ten soldiers and ten eggheads." Added the other.

"Who is the leader?" Kagami asked.

"A scientist named Colness? Colvess? Something like that." said one.

"And a guy named Tobias." added the other.

"Colress, was that his name?" Kagami asked.

"Yes, that's exactly what he was called."

"Tobias, is this the same Tobias who beat the Sinnoh League?" Kagami asked. whereupon the two just nodded. Kagami nodded to Anoth to signal that she had finished the interrogation. And Anoth sent the two with a spell back into the Lala Land sheep count.

"Tobias and Colress, then." Anoth said thoughtfully. "Colress was working for Team Plasma at the time, but Tobias - I do not know who he works for."

"Should not Colress actually be in prison?" asked Mitara. That led to a snort from Konoko.

"That would have been nice." said Konoko. "But he has always managed to escape their nets."

"What do we know about the two?" Anoth asked.

"Colress is an unscrupulous scientist." Mitara started. "His goal is to get the most out of the Pokémon, and nothing is him holy to get to his goal. He was a senior scientist under Ghetsis, but after he was arrested and convicted, he now leads the Team Plasma Loyalists himself."

"And Tobias?"

"What we know about Tobias is not very much." This time it was Konoko. "We know he's wanted by the Rangers for poaching. He wants to be the strongest, and he does not stop at nothing and he's mainly using legendary Pokémon. Rumors say that he tortures his Pokémon until they follow him without any whining."

"If the Rangers have him on their wanted list, there must be something about that rumor." said Anoth. "But back to why we're here, what do we know about this ship?"

"This ship was flown by a network of different species." Konoko started. "Sangheili, Kig-Yar, Jiralhanae, Lekgolo, Unggoy, Yanme'e, San'Shyuum and Huragok. I have uploaded pictures of the appearance of this species to all of you."

Judging by the pictures, the Sangheili looked like dinosaurs walking on two legs with four lower jaws. Two on each side. With a height of about 3m quite remarkable beings. The Kig-Yar reminded Anoth of raptors, while the Jiralhanae were large monkey-like figures. The Lekgolo were worms that formed massive creatures completely formed out of worms. And they were always two of them. The Unggoy were small methane breathing creatures. They were running around in suits with a large gas cylinder on their backs. The Yanme'e were an insect-like species, while the San'Shyuum looked as if they were already breaking at the slightest breeze. They had to use anti-gravity chairs to get around. The Huragok looked like bubbles floating around. After the database, they were the only non-fighting species. But very talented technicians.

"So these were the species that were on this ship, cannot say that one of them seems familiar to me." said Anoth. "I'm not aware of any dimensional leaps from any of the species."

"No dimensional leaps of any kind?"

"Not one, these are completely unknown." confirmed Anoth.

"What else did you find out?" Kagami asked.

"A lot." said Konoko. "Where they came from, apparently, they were involved in a war, and if I interpret the data correctly, their leaders are those floating stick figures ..." She pointed to the San'Shyuum.

"Interesting description." Anoth muttered.

"As fragile as they look, it fits in somehow." Mitara muttered back.

Konoko continued unperturbed. "... declared a genocidal war against another race."

"And against what race?" Anoth asked.

"And for what reason?" Mitara added.

"Against the humans. For the reason, well..." Konoko played a found record for the answer.

Your destruction is the will of the gods ... And we are their instrument!

"Your destruction is the will of the gods ... and we are their instruments." Anoth repeated slowly. "That sounds like a religious nutcase."

"According to records from the databases, they have made more than 600 planets uninhabitable and virtually glassed them by plasma jets." said Konoko. "The war was going at the time the ship was hurled into another dimension for more than twenty-five years, and if I read it right the trigger of the conflict was the fact that the relics of the race that existed before them respond only to humans, rather than the other races. "

"So the San'Shyuum were jealous." said Anoth.

"I agree." said Konoko.

"Do you have more specific dates when the ship landed here?" Anoth asked.

"The ship landed in this dimension 1874 years ago." said Konoko. "It drifted almost 900 years in space and finally crashed here."

"What is the time difference between K-401-D and our dimension?" Anoth asked.

"Time passes by slower." said Konoko. "Deviation is -2,150 to 1."

"And the divergence between the Pokémon world and ours is ... uh ... 18,250 to 1. That means that between our dimension and the one this ship came from, practically it has just happened." Mitara said thoughtfully.

"Another construction site for us." said Anoth. Other considerations were interrupted by a shock that ran across the ship. "What was that?"

Konoko had jumped back to the console, tapping diligently on the holographic field. "I do not know, the sensors in the area have failed." More shocks went through the ship.

"What are these idiots doing?"

"No idea, but whatever it is, it's getting closer." said Konoko. Then they were detected by the internal sensors.

"What's that?" Konoko asked as she looked at the picture she had frozen.

"That's a Heatran." Kagami stated.

"A Heatran, but what ... Tobias!" Anoth almost growled out the last word. Konoko had meanwhile continued to run the picture and only seconds later Tobias came into the picture. The Heatran was about to open one of the doors. Already from the pictures it could be seen that they were currently in a part of the ship, which had swallowed a whole part of the force of the impact. The corridors as well as almost every door there were extremely deformed. The doors for the most part so much that they could not rise by itself. Konoko called up the ship's plans.

Not only did it reveal that Tobias was approaching the bridge, albeit above a different road than the ruffian Anoth had captured. As Kagami laid the internal sensors over the plan, it told them that Tobias was accompanied by other ruffians as well as some soldiers.

"Looks like there's trouble coming our way." said Kagami.

"Then we welcome them quite nicely." said Anoth.

"What's up with them?" Kumiko asked, pointing to the two sleeping galactic ruffians.

"I almost forgot." Anoth muttered. Anoth rummaged around in his storage dimension for a while, then took out two blue-red balls that looked like Pokéballs. Only the big and wide on both "HB" stood. "I think both of them are wonderful for the field test of these two." With these words he threw the two balls at the two sleeping ruffians. Now something happened that was considered impossible. As soon as the balls had touched the two of them, they opened and the two louts were sucked into the balls with a bluish stream, which snapped shut and returned to Anoth's hand.

"What was that?" Konoko asked.

"Something I've done in my free time. I call them human balls ." said Anoth.

"Not very original." said Konoko.

"But fulfills its purpose." said Anoth. "These balls are just meant to make it easier to transport people, but I have not had time to test them yet." Anoth shrank both balls and simply put them in one of his pockets.

"And what if they do not work?"

"Then there are just two louts less." said Anoth, who had meanwhile taken his weapon and went to one of the doors of the bridge. "It's not like the species is disrupting that species." he said, mumbling afterward.

"I mean, are you really sure they work?" Konoko asked.

"I have tested it more than 10,000 times in computer simulations, so they should work." With these words Anoth left the bridge of the wreckage. Closely followed by the other four.

It was not long before they were in a room which Tobias had to get through. They did not need to wait long, when the door, which in this case was intact, slid sideways. in came a Heatran. Two overpowered aura spheres and a Snagball eliminated this problem before the Galactic and Plasma soldiers noticed any of it. It took them more than a minute to come to the room.

"Where is my Heatran girl?" This voice was clearly Tobias.

Oh mey. Do not say that was a female too ?! Anoth could hear the others giggling telepathically. He gave them a glare for that, that the others ignored.

"Latios, Darkrai, and Suicune you are on!" Was heard shortly after, followed closely by the sound of three opening Pokéballs.

$ A Suicune? $ That was the voice of Acilani. One of the two Dicune Anoth could count as his Shadowbeasts. $ Can I see it? $

$ Yes. $ Anoth took a few steps back and then took his 3m Drago-Seraphim form. As soon as he had done that, he pulled one of his tentacles out of his neck, at the top of which was now an eye. He then led this so that it could just look into the corridor. Anoth could clearly hear his Dicune gasp in surprise.

$ I do not believe it. $ She said. $ This is my daughter Miéri! $

$ Are you sure? $

$ Yes. Absolute. The coat pattern and the scar above the eye are unmistakable. $ Anoth checked that himself again by switching to his aura vision. It was one of many different view changes that allowed one to look through a wall, for example. In this case, however, he needed another variant of it. The so-called aura reading. However, to be able to do what he did now, an aura guardian needed a few years of experience, and above all, he needed to know what to look for. It was easy for Anoth in this case. He knew the aura of each of his Shadowbeasts, so it was easy for him to compare the aura of Tobias' Suicune with that of his Dicune. Although this just named Dicune had her daughter when she was still a Suicune, yet it was not a big problem to check it. For in the evolution itself, the aura itself only changes marginally. The only thing that happened was that she was gaining strength. The change from being recorded as a Shadowbeast was limited to the fact that the aura of a mortal became the immortal of the aura. In that sense, the check was a trifle. But what Anoth had to find made it a personal affair, not just a kind of bounty hunt. But that was not all. He discovered that the Suicune wore a collar. A thought control collar from Team Rocket. That was the point for Anoth, that made the difference for him.

These thought control collars were dangerous. Not infrequently they left behind severe to extreme nerve damage. Some of the Pokémon that were these control collars Anoth encountered while traveling through the world of Pokémon had such severe damage to their nerve system that death was nothing but salvation. These things therefore mainly meant one thing. Bad news.

'Konoko can you switch off the light in this sector?' Anoth asked.

'Small thing.' Seconds later the light was off.

Let the show begin.

"What was that?" a ruffian called.

"It's a wreck, so it's to be expected that the energy supply is unreliable." came the calm response from one of the soldiers who was fiddling with his weapon. A short time later the lamp attached to his submachine gun was on. When the light shone on into the Dark Corridor, a scream was heard. "What - What is that?"

The light of the flashlight was welcomed by a series of razor-sharp teeth. In the previously empty corridor was now an enormous beast.

"What the- ?!" Tobias came not farther with his question as his Darkrai and his Latios were hit with two aura spheres each. The only warning of the attack was two flashes of light.

Darkrai went unconscious to the ground immediately. Latios, on the other hand, withstood the attack. This, however, changed when Anoth's front paw, encased in bright blue light, descended on Latios and forcefully pushed him into the nearest wall, where he remained unconscious. Meanwhile, Anoth's Dicune Acilani was fighting her own daughter. She was very careful not to hurt her too much. Her main goal was finally to take off her daughter's collar. But that was easier said than done.

The Suicune was with only 2m shoulder height well one third smaller than the Dicune was with something over 3m shoulder height. Because she was smaller, the Suicune was a little more agile. In addition, she did not hold back and attacked Acilani with all that she had. While Acilani somehow tried to get to the collar, which completely controlled her daughter. Team Rocket had significantly improved its mind-control collars in recent years. A Pokémon alone was barely able to escape control of the collar. The fight, although it could not really be described as such, as only Miéri attacked while Acilani somehow tried to get to the collar, took almost two minutes. Then Acilani managed to close her maw around the collar to tear it down with a huge jerk of Miéri. The fight ended abruptly. Acilani had sat down in front of her daughter, holding her head between her front paws. Before this the eyes of the Suicune were glassy but now life was returning to them. The control was destroyed.

"Mother, I ... I ..." Miéri did not get any further, as her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she lost consciousness.

"Miéri Miéri, I'm glad to have you back with me." Acilani said as she cried for joy. Meanwhile, Kagami and Mitara had rushed over and helped both. Miéri and her mother Acilani. Acilani had not come out of the fight without injuries. And Miéri had to be treated for the aftermath of this damned collar.

Anoths own fight, if this one-sided fight could ever be described as such, had long since ended. Scattered throughout the room were 20 ruffians and 4 soldiers on the ground. Either writhing in pain or completely unconscious. The fate of their Pokémon were not any better. Only that all lay unconscious on the ground. As for Tobias. He had the bad luck to be pinned under one of Anoth's front paws. Anoth had not changed back and was still in Drago-Seraphim form. And Tobias was staring at Anoths fletched teeth that were only centimeters from his face. Kagami, Mitara, Kumiko and Konoko had retained their human forms.

"Hello, Tobias." Anoth growled. "How nice that I am running into you in this place." The sarcasm was more than clear. By the way, that made Tobias even paler than before and more like a ghost than anything else. "Are we going to work for Team Rocket now, yes?" Anoth's tentacles held the remains of Miéri's collar on which the big red R was clearly visible. "Whatever." Anoth let the collar disappear into the storage dimension to later analyze it in peace. "I'm not here to talk to you about the collar, but rather, what you have to look for here and how you poached Acilani's daughter."

Tobias just stared at him.

"Ok, then this time for brain amputees." said Anoth. "What are you looking for and how did you get the Suicune?" The last part of the question Anoth growled out practically.

Tobias was silent. So Anoth raised the pressure on Tobias's chest, which made a soft crack, and repeated the question. But nothing but a moan came from Tobias.

"Good as you like, then I'll get the answers directly from your head." With these words, Anoth's eyes began to glow with power. But as he was about to start reading minds, there was a loud bang, and an extremely bright flash of light that drove a pain through his body, which made him briefly practically incapacitated. When Anoth's senses came back to him, Tobias had disappeared. "Damn it!"

"What was that?" Kumiko asked, slowly rising from the floor. The pain was so strong that she had fallen down.

"That must have been the Shadow Triad." said Konoko.

"The Shadow Triad, did not expect that they were here." Anoth said as he returned to his Human form.

"Well that's interesting." Konoko said suddenly. That made sure all eyes were on her. "Apparently, both teams are retreating."

"How do you know?"

"I'm still connected to the ship's systems, and yes, it was the Shadow Triad." Answered Konoko. Seconds later, one of the demon cats kept watch outside.

'Anoth. The galactics and plasmas have just run out of the ship as if a demon were after them. They entered the helicopters and flew away. ' that was Sirara's voice.

'Thank you Sirara.' confirmed Anoth. Also telepathic. "Well, they're gone." Anoth said and looked around. The Shadow Triad had taken only Tobias, as well as his Darkrai and Latios. The others were all still there. "Then we'll clean up here."

Around them were still all unconscious ruffians and soldiers plus the associated Pokémon. It took a few minutes, but then they had all the ruffians neatly tied into several groups and the Pokémon back in their balls. None of the Pokémon was so badly hurt that a Stasisball would be needed. That made things easier.

After three hours of searching the ship without finding anything worth mentioning, apart from some hangars full of destroyed vehicles of all sorts, they were on their way out. The laced galactics and plasmas floated after them. then they were outside and stood again on the hull of the ship. Barely outside he called Mirara and Sirara back to him. Then he started rummaging around in his camp dimension. A short time later he took out a square object on which sat something like a satellite dish. As soon as he had put it on the hull of the ship and turned it on it activated a holographic input console. A short time later text appeared on the console:

Dimension timeout is adjusted.

$ What exactly did the device do now? $ asked one of the Eevee who was on the Shadow Plane. A quick glance from Anoth revealed to him that not only the Eevee, who had pronounced the question, wanted it answered. But pretty much every Pokémon he had taken as a Shadowbeast.

$ To establish a communication link to another dimension, it first needs to be consistent with the dimension you want to talk to about the passage of time. If I talked without this time alignment adjustment now, those at the other end would only hear a short beep. Because time passes faster in this dimension than the one I want to talk to. If it were the other way around, you would hear it at the other end as if I were speaking extremely slooooooooooooooooowly. $

$ Yes. That makes sense. $ said Eevee. but now an Espeon spoke up.

$ And how exactly does it do it? $

$ It opens a dimension portal, no bigger than a pinhead, through which it is transmitted. That's why the satellite dish is on the device. With their help, the portal is opened. $

But should not Palkia and Dialga notice that? $

$ We'll see if they come. $ Anoth said simply. He turned back to the device.

A computer voice at the other end answered. "Identify yourself."

Anoth answered with his name and personal code.

"Identity confirmed." came the answer back.

"Connect me to the salvage ship Nebucadneza. "

"Connected." The picture of the captain of the ship appeared on the screen. He was a seraphim. The only thing that betrayed him in human form were the six pure white wings on his back. This just mentioned Seraphim was working on his datapad. He did not even look up when he answered.

"Here is Captain Raydream." He sounded pretty bored.

"Captain Raydream, I have an assignment for you." When Raydream heard the voice, he jumped, staring at the holographic monitor in front of him for a few seconds before literally dropping out of his chair as he tried to get up and salute as quickly as possible when he recognized the leader of the Drago-Seraphim, and with it the Overlord of the Seraphimian Alliance. That made for a giggle at the other end of the link.

"Overlord Anoth, I did not know that you would contact me directly, sir." said Raydream and Saluted, when he got up again.

"Let's drop the formalities."

"Yes, sir." With these words, Raydream was a little more relaxed.

"I see, you're not too busy."

"It's an understatement, we've been in orbit for about a week now, nothing going on, the only thing I'm doing is turning thumbs and ..." he turned the data pad so that Anoth could see it in the monitor. "... crossword puzzles."

"Then you will be glad that I have a job for you."

"Everything is better than sitting around here and doing nothing."

"How is your dimensional drive?"

"Fine."

"Good, I need your ship here to recover an old spaceship wreck."

"Any classification?"

"No, the ship is completely unknown design, it is about 5.7 km long, 2.2 km wide and about 800m high."

"Roger that."

"The boat is here more than 1,000 years and has previously been drifting in space for nearly 900 years." explained Anoth. " It has also massive fighting damage. Remember to bring along structural integrity generators."

"Will be done, we'll arrive in about an hour, Raydream over and out."

About an hour later, they arrived. The first sign that the ship that Anoth had ordered to come had come through, was that the sky seemed to be deforming, seconds later a dimensional portal opened and a ship came through. Good 8km long almost 3km wide and 1km high. When the ship was completely out of the portal it defolded its arms. The ship took on a look as if it was a space shipyard. While that was happening, six dropships came down and landed on the hull of the wreck. There, the crew of these ships began to attach generators to the outer shell. More dropships left the mother ship and dropped people on the hull. However, these disappeared very soon into the ship's interior and began to secure the ship for transport.

All along, Anoth and his companion sat on one side of the edge of one of the rocks and watched the action beneath them. In the time before the ship arrived, Anoth had shipped his dimensional communications equipment to one of the surrounding mountains, and the others were busy casting spells around the area to prevent anyone from outside knowing what was happening. After all, an 8km salvage ship was not exactly inconspicuous as it hovered over the mountains. Had they not done that, it would be teeming with news helicopters and onlookers.

It had been almost 8 hours now. The teams on the outer shell had already completed their job for a few hours and activated the generators. As that happened, there was a bluish impulse across the ship that caused the sound of metal groaning as the structural stability of the ship improved and parts of the ship re-aligned. What took the longest was securing the ship from within. But in the end, these works were finished too. Directly afterwards, the dropships returned to the mothership. This had now ripped its arms apart and adapted the shape of the arms to the shape of the wreck under it so that they could easily grab the wreck and hold on. No sooner was the last dropship back in the mothership it activated its 20 powerful tractor beams that dipped the wreck in a bright blue light. It took a while for the sound of falling rocks and groaning metal to be heard as the ship moved slowly, bit by bit, upwards. Only 10 minutes later, the damage from below was seen. Almost all of the bottom ten decks were crushed and now formed the outer shell. Also, other combat damage came to light. The ship had suffered tremendous damage. Explosion craters adorned the hull and more holes and more holes were seen as the ship was gaining height. If they had not installed the structural integrity generators, the ship would certainly have been broken into several pieces. It looked like it was just being held together by just these generators.

A few minutes later and the ship was now just below the salvage ship. The arms closed around the other ship and also secured it physically on the other ship. Now Anoth reported via subspaceradio to the hovering over him Nebucadneza .

"Anoth to Nebucadneza ."

"Captain Raydream here, I hear you."

"Bring the wreck to the research station Proximo ."

" Understood. We'll take the wreckage to the Proximo research station, Raydream over and out. "

Shortly thereafter, the Nebucadneza opened another dimensional portal in front of the ship and flew with its freight right into it. The wreck was not here anymore.

"I think we're done here." said Konoko. She dropped the spells around the area again. The work of them was done.

"Yes, although I'm wondering where the missing shield generators have gone." Anoth said thoughtfully. After a short while, he shrugged. "Does not matter now. Without the energy, computers and shield emitters they are nothing more than very big and ugly paperweights. Let's take our prisoners to the police station and then we'll see the professor." With these words, Anoth deactivated the dimension communication device. which meant that in the dimension of the Pokémon time was faster again compared to their home dimension. The inhabitants themselves had heard nothing of the whole.

It later turned out that the Anoth-designed human balls worked the way they should, when the two captive ruffians re-emerged in good health, if a little disoriented. The others, including their Pokémon, as well as Anoth's captive Heatran, were dropped off at the police station. They would make sure the Pokémon Rangers brought the Heatran and the other Pokémon back to where they came from and release them there. While the imprisoned ruffians faced a multiple-year prison sentence.

And Anoth's group came in time for the meeting with the professor. All in all, the whole thing went well. Too bad that Colress and Tobias could escape. Well. There was always a next time.

.

Does not matter now. Each shield gives in if you only hit it hard and often enough.

With these thoughts, Anoth made his summoned hurricanes disappear. They would do almost nothing against the shield. Instead, he directed even more energy into the, already very dark, cloud cover. He was in the process of conjuring up a storm that could not happen naturally on this planet. The mother of all thunderstorms. A quantum plasma ion thunderstorm. A storm strong enough that if it got out of control, all life on the planet would be wiped out and the planet would be uninhabitable. Anoth, however, had summoned such a storm more often and concentrated its destructive power completely on the shield protecting the ever-approaching Rockets.

Lightning strikes now hit the shield with the frequency of a Machine Gun. Hundreds of hits within minutes.

It was not long before the down-assembled army of Unova, whose Pokémon as well as the Shadowbeasts opened the fire on the shield. It was no longer a question of if, but only when the shield would break. But nothing prevented them from getting closer as they hammered on the shield.

.

Back to Kumiko

.

Kumiko had not hidden, the cloud cover above her now pitch black had become a massive lightning show as lightning now raced along the clouds and focused on a single point. The lightning strikes that were coming from that point were more than a hundred times stronger than the rest. This was not a simple thunderstorm anymore. Anoth pulled out the big guns.

This storm also had something beneficial for her. It disturbed all enemy electronic targeting systems. Kumiko released two of her Shadowbeasts. These were two wyvern that quickly caught the air with their wings and camouflaged themselves to approach the fleet they found again about a minute ago. Kumiko, meanwhile, rushed up, across the cloud cover, and was now above the storm. Now all she had to do was wait for her wyvern to reach their goals and death would fall from the sky.

.

To Kagami

.

Kagami had some minor problems. 70% of their shadow beasts had been shot down. She had only 2 eagles, 5 griffins and the two big dragons, each one counting for ten. Then there were the 20 airships that had appeared. Each one of them at least 250m long and peppered with weapons. Weapons that passed through their armor as if it was made of paper. But these were just the normal ships. Another was among them. Significantly larger than the others. It measured almost 500m and was equipped with far more weapons. On the side was not only the big red R but over this R was still a golden jeweled crown displayed. That was Giovanni's ship. She called her Shadowbeasts who were still outside back. They would not be able to help in this fight anyway. Anoth ordered his own, that they were needed on the ground.

'Anoth, Giovanni's ship has just arrived.'

'Well finally. I already wondered when this mutt would show up. '

'He's here with the World Domination .'

'Could have thought he would take that nutshell? It's his biggest, after all. '

'That is not all. They have weapons that can easily shoot through our armor, as if it was not there. I suspect they are singularity weapons. '

'Singularity weapons? How did they get these? ' They shouldn't have the tech to build them at all.

'Palkia.'

'Damn it.'

'Not only that. I can also feel Dialga and Giratina on the ship.'

'Not Again.'

They had the problem once before. Shortly after the outbreak of the conflict.

Flashback

#################################################################

.

The attack by the Rockets came as a surprise. The regions Unova, Hoenn, Johto and Kanto fell within one day. No one had foreseen the attack. Team Rocket and the many other teams had meticulously prepared the attacks. They had infiltrated the governments for quite some time and made sure that both the undercover agents and the Sleeper agents occupied important posts within the government.

The Sinnoh region had detained one of the sleeping agents for corruption when they struck. Thus, they were able to resist, even if only so. They tried to warn the other regions of the attempt but failed because at the time the attacks had already begun.

Konoko and Mitara were in the country at the time, and Kumiko was visiting the president himself. It probably goes without saying that the Team Rocket agents who tried to assassinate the president were no more than red paint on the walls. The attempt to gain power over the military failed when Konoko and Mitara found the leaders behind the coup and took them out without mercy.

From this point on the war started. And the army headed by Anoth was founded. Which should soon earn the title of "Ghost Division".

It was only two months later when Anoth was visited by Arceus. Anoth was sitting in one of the barracks and had just finished meeting the general sitting there. So he was now on one of the sports fields when Arceus came to him in her human form. Anoth saw at first glance that she was nervous.

"Anoth, we have a problem!" called her.

Anoth looked at her.

"They somehow managed to trap them on the spear column."

"They lured who into a trap?"

"Dialga and Palkia."

"Both?"

"Yes."

"I can only think of a team that could have done it right away. Team Galactic."

"I know where they are, but I cannot get there without them catching me. "

"Where are they?"

"Hoenn. Volcanic region." Arceus said and Anoth produced a map of Hoenn. Arceus marked the place on it. "Here, a small hut is the entrance, the base itself is underground."

A short time later, all five were on their way towards Hoenn. First, they flew over the Almia region, which had also been able to fend off Team Rocket's takeover attempt, and then took the course across the open sea directly towards the Hoenn region. It took a few hours, but finally they had arrived, at the point Arceus had previously marked on the map.

In fact, it was a small wooden hut. When they looked camouflaged around the hut a few times, there was nothing out of the ordinary. Nevertheless, they landed several hundred yards away and then walked in their human form towards the hut. It was not until they approached that they noticed, albeit hidden, unusual things. Surveillance cameras were hidden in the trees around the cabin.

This forced them to disable or hack each of the cameras and slowly but surely make their way to the cabin. It took a good hour before they reached the hut. The door was unsecured and inside the cabin looked like a normal place to stay for weary travelers. Absolutely nothing unusual. If there were not the strange energy flows in the floor and in the walls. Something had been hidden here.

Closer examination of the room showed that not only the table was screwed down, but that there were actually two half tables. A closer look at the boarded floor revealed a square area that stood out from the others. It was slightly lower than the surrounding area. Not much. Only about 2mm. Nevertheless, so much that it attracted attention.

Then there were the streams of energy that led to a place on the wall where nothing was hanging.

"Something is here." Anoth muttered. Anoth took a closer look at the field and discovered another stream of energy that led to a place that was exactly opposite. There hung a map of the region. He could open these up. Underneath was a rectangular gray box with a cylinder lock and two LEDs above it. One green and one red. At the moment the red glowed. Anoth activated the nanites in his body and simply put his index finger in the middle of the lock. The nanites now began to form the key and after some time they had found the right design for the key. Then Anoth turned the cylinder lock exactly as the right key would. The LED on the lock changed from red to green and the cover on the other side of the room went inward into the wall and then down, revealing the view of a control panel and a handprint scanner.

Immediately Konoko went over to the blackboard and began to hack them. It took almost ten minutes, but then the rectangular panel in the middle of the room rose up, parted, and moved to the side. She released the elevator shaft, where a platform was just going up, seconds later, it was at the top.

"Our taxi is here." Konoko commented.

"Then let's go."Anoth said and they all went up to the platform. The control console for the elevator was kept very simple. Two arrows. one for up and one for down, which were attached to a console, which was located on a pillar. This in turn was attached to the edge of the platform. As soon as Anoth had pressed the lower arrow, the platform began to move. At the same time, he saw the card flip down and the panel in the wall closed again. Then, as soon as they were deep enough, the floor again drove over the shaft. If someone would enter the hut, it looked like they had never been here.

The elevator ride ended just under 30 seconds later. When the doors opened, they came to a completely empty corridor. With the armor activated and the aura rifle at the ready, they moved slowly through the corridor. It was completely empty. The rooms,. which were adjacent to the corridor were also empty.

"Does it only seem that way to me, or is it far too quiet here?" asked Mitara.

"Not only that, it's far too empty for an active base." Konoko said.

"Yes, there is something wrong here." Anoth agreed.

They continued to walk through the empty floor for a while, finally discovering why it was not being used. It was still under construction.

"That's why." Konoko said as she looked at the half-finished walls.

"Looks like we need to go deeper." said Mitara.

"Let's search for a staircase." said Anoth. And so they set out to find exactly what they were looking for. It took a few minutes, then they had found one and were now on the way down. They could have taken the elevator, but that would have been too noticeable. The staircase was unguarded. No cameras. No waking or other sensors. They probably did not expect anyone to find their way down here. That was only right for them. Made it a whole lot easier. The feeling persisted until they reached the next floor, then the alarm went off in the installation.

"INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!"

"They must have discovered the manipulated cameras." said Konoko.

"Well, that's it then with the crawl." Anoth just said. "Then we fight our way down freely." They opened the door to the floor and right enough. A few guards were already there waiting for them. The fight against the four guards lasted only seconds. The result was three dead guards and one of the guards who now had the misfortune to be interrogated by Anoth.

"Where are Dialga and Palkia?"

"I do not know-"

"Where are Dialga and Palkia?" Anoth asked again, putting a little more pressure on him.

"They are at the lowest level." croaked out the guard, who now clearly had trouble breathing.

"Thank you." Immediately, he sent him with a headbutt into unconsciousness.

"What did he say?" Kumiko asked.

"They are at the lowest level." said Anoth.

"Then let's go further down." With these words they began to move again. The stairwell they had previously used ended up on this floor. They had to look for another stairwell to get deeper. Anoth felt that this pattern would be repeated on the other floors as well.

The next four floors were all more or less the same pattern. Hurried barricades of tables, chairs and other stuff were overpowered with targeted rifle fire and grenades. Finally, almost an hour later, they reached the bottom floor. At least it looked like it was the last floor.

"Something's wrong here." Anoth muttered. I can feel the presence of the two below me. But there is no way down? "

"According to the plan from above, this is the last floor." Konoko said as she checked the downloaded blueprints again.

"A secret floor?"

"Most likely."

"Does anyone else feel like looking for a secret elevator or stairs?" Kumiko asked. Anoth just grinned and Kumiko started to install special explosive devices on the ground.

They all took cover and shortly thereafter Kumiko sparked the explosion. There followed a huge bang. Immediately after that, they all jumped down through the new hole onto the ground, which was just 12 meters below them. The soldiers who were there were far too surprised to resist them, so the room was quickly secured. As for the researchers in the room, they immediately raised their hands and surrendered. This was rewarded with stunning shots.

"Kumiko find the interfering field generator and destroy it." said Anoth. On the way through the installation, they found out that they could not use many of their skills. After a short analysis, they discovered the presence of an interference field. "Let's get the two out." He pointed to Dialga and Palkia, who were both connected to various machines and both seemed very weak. Konoko went to one of the consoles and had a short time later disabled all the machinery. The liberation of the two, however, was done quickly.

"All ready?" Anoth asked. Barely had he asked this question came from an adjoining room an explosion followed by a cloud of smoke. Immediately after, Kumiko came out of the same room. She grinned satisfied. "Good, then we'll leave here."

Konoko grabbed Dialga and a short flash of light later, she was gone. Anoth himself took Palkia and then disappeared into a flash of light. Mitara and Kagami each took a few of the researchers and disappeared into a flash of light. Kumiko was the last one left. She opened her storage dimension and pulled out a bomb. She put it in the middle of the room and set the trigger to 20 seconds and let it start ticking. Then she grabbed the last of the scientists and a flash of light later she was gone too.

The seconds passed and one of the soldiers, who had the misfortune to just have been shot, stared at the clock. The last thing he saw before his sight went black was counting down from 3 to 0.

From the outside, one saw that out of the middle of the wooden hut a pillar of fire shot up in the air. Immediately afterwards the earth arched upwards, only to fall down immediately. The end result was a crater in the ground.

The later interrogation of the scientists revealed that they wanted to combine Dialga's and Palkia's powers into a new weapon. The destruction of the base should have prematurely destroyed this project. What they did not know was that there was another server outside the base where the data was stored. But that should come out much later.

.

'Well, that's getting better and better.' There was a smaller break. 'Listen. I'm still tied up here with the ground forces. They have mobile shield generators. Make sure you soften Giovanni's company a bit before I can join you. I can hardly imagine that he came without one, right? '

'As I said. There are twenty smaller escorts with him. '

'You know what to do.'

'Yes.'

'Release granted for the Black Sun Army. Make it flat. '

'With pleasure.' Kagami grinned.

The Black Sun Army was not just any army. They were basically the souls of those who had the misfortune to be sucked into the Black Sun. Although only two of them could be summoned and only for a relatively short time. Mostly around the one minute mark. But during this time, they were virtually invulnerable to physical weapons of any kind. No matter if it was a pistol or a flamethrower or a plasma weapon. The only way to ward it off was through phase-shifted energy weapons and shields. Everything else was completely useless.

That was if your Black Sun hasn't matured. And for it to mature you need to find a "key" of a sort to do it. And that key is very hard to find. Only Konoko's and Kagami's Black Sun had matured. So they could let loose all of the souls in it at once for as long as they want. An Army that is as good as unbeatable. There was only one restriction left. After they used the souls they needed to let them go.

As far as the looks of that army are concerned, the easiest way to describe them is as spirit-like. But what made them so dreaded by the enemy was that they literally tore the soul out of their bodies by touch. Some of the enemies, who had already met them and lived long enough to report, referred to them as "soldiers of the devil". And indeed the shock effect was enormous with the enemy. Especially when they realized that their weapons were ineffective. It goes without saying that when some of the enemies realized that, their bladders did not work quite as they wanted.

Kagami accelerated now, heading straight for the hangar bay of one of the airships. It was still closed but that did not do much when she crashed into the door of the hangar and rammed her claws into the door to come to hang there. A few seconds later and a bit of claw work, and there was a hole in the hangar door that was big enough that Kagami, in her 3m shoulder-height Drago-Seraphim figure, got into the ship. Now the fight began inside. The corridors inside the ship were too small for her and so she was forced to take on her human form. But it did not stop her from flooding one of the corridors with poison gas through which a whole troop of soldiers came a second ago. This was done by letting her two poison fangs out in the mouth through them she sprayed the poison into her mouth in the form of a fine mist. At the same time, she set up a miniature tornado in her open mouth, which she aimed in the direction of the corridor. The result was a fine poisonous mist running through the corridor. And since the soldiers did not wear gas masks or similar wraps, they fell like flies within seconds.

Kagami herself was immune to her own venom, so she did not mind going down the enemy-free corridor in her Human form. With her weapon at the ready and activated ablative armor.

This close-fitting metallic substance was a very good protection. Even if she was not quite as strong as her counterpart, which they carried in their beast form. But in contrast to the beast form, the armor in human form was able to adjust its coloring. In Kagami's case she was mostly black with some red accents.

It took several minutes before she was on the bridge. She had to fight her way through the entire crew. But eventually she arrived on the bridge and took control of the ship and its weapons. Which she immediately aligned with the other ships and started to fire.

The other ships, completely surprised that one of their own fired at them, started firing as three of the other ships were already fireballs falling to the ground. Kagami had long since left the ship, resumed her Drago-Seraphim form, and approached the next ship.

The ships were so distracted with firing at one of their own ships that they did not notice at all, that they suddenly had a guest in one of the hangars. This just mentioned guest had already regained her human form and this time sneaked through to the main engine room. That was not that hard. The patrols on the ship were weak and so she arrived only a short time later in the engine room. However, she only crossed the room to get into another room. The room from where the rudder was steered, which steered the ship. A brief manipulation later and she made the ship make a hard turn to port, where it collided directly with another ship, this in turn was pushed into two more and so finally crashed 4 ships. Kagami, meanwhile, had taken the way out, blasting a hole in the side wall, and was back in the air.

She still had twelve more airships in front of her. Plus Giovanni's ship. In addition, the Rockets now knew who was attacking them and were starting to fire at her.

.

To Anoth

.

The continuous lightning strikes by the storm showed success. The sign became weaker pretty fast. In the end, it broke with a sound of bursting glass. The only problem was that the Rocket army had reached the edge of the shield dome of Virbank City and were now starting to invade the city. Meanwhile, Anoth was about to destroy tanks for tanks with targeted lightning strikes. He also destroyed one or two odd-looking devices. Below it looked like an oversized Meowth. Its destruction made sure that a man, a woman and a Meowth took off towards the horizon with a cry of " Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" and disappeared.

Please say that they were not the ones that I think they were.

Anoth had met the idiot trio of Team Rocket before.

Flashback

#################################################################

.

Anoth approached, riding on one of his Arcanona to Viridian City in the Kanto region, accompanied by his second Arcanona, Lucy. She was carrying two saddlebags that contained everything you would need. He was currently on Route 1. There he had been camping in various places nearby for the past few days. Everything was quiet but then lightning flashed from the ground towards the clouds.

"What was that?"Mandy asked. the Arcanona, on which Anoth was riding in human form right now.

"Looks like a Pokémon fight." Anoth answered.

"Is not today the day that new teachers of Professor Oak get their Pokémon?"

"Yes." confirmed Anoth. "Professor Oak broadcasted his program last night."

"Then maybe it's one of the young trainer."

"But as in any other region, the starters are Pokémon of the Fire, Water, and Plant type, so there is no Electricity Pokémon." Anoth argued.

"Right." But then they all saw a swarm of Spearow escape. "Maybe we should take a look at it."

"All right, let's take a look."

With these words, the three set off in the direction of the spot where the lightning shot up from below into the clouds. A short time later they were in sight. What the three saw there made them feel ill. Mandy was right. It was a young trainer who had just left for his trip. Next to him an unconscious Pikachu. And only a few yards away was a charred bicycle. It does seem o that both were attacked by the Spearow. Anoth jumped down from Mandy and examined the two.

"The boy is unconscious, but his Pikachu needs help that I cannot give him here." Anoth took the trainer's Pokéball and called the Pikachu into his ball. Then he walked over to Lucy and took a Stasisball from her saddlebags and put the Pokéball inside. As soon as he was in it he closed the Stasisball back up and activated it. This prevented the condition of the Pikachu from getting worse.

The now occupied Stasisball Anoth simply put into the backpack of the trainer. Then he picked up the boy and lifted him onto Mandy's back. He immediately sat down behind him and held him so he would not fall off. When Anoth was sure that the young trainer would not just fall off, they made their way back to Viridian City, only this time with much more speed. They crossed the city limits only half an hour later. An Officer Jenny had just finished an announcement about Pokémon thieves when she noticed the small group that came at high speed straight to them.

"Speaking of the devil." she muttered. "STOP!"

Anoth did not think to stop at all. And his Arcanona shared his attitude. And so Mandy just jumped over her right away. While Lucy just ran past her at high speed.

"HALT! HALT!" Officer Jenny yelled after them. But she was just ignored. So she had no choice but to jump on her motorcycle and race after them. Neither of them noticed a redheaded girl carrying a ruined bicycle. Anoth, however, steadfastly headed for the Pokémon Center. The trainer, meanwhile, had recovered after the jump over the policewoman.

"W-what, where am I?" he stammered out.

"Calm down, calm down."Anoth tried to calm him down. But he had to grab him a little harder so he would not fall off when the young trainer looked around in surprise and almost fell off. A little later they were at the Pokémon Center and just sprinted through the front door. The doors were just big enough for that. Anoth jumped down and helped the trainer down.

"W-W- Where is Pikachu?" he stammered out.

"Your friend is here, so Anoth took out the Stasisball and gave it to Nurse Joy, who just nodded and took the Stasisball back to the nurse's office, Nurse Joy of the Pokémon Center knew about the Stasisballs. And when they are needed it did not usually mean any good, but Anoth took care of the young trainer.

"What happened?" asked he. "Who are you?"

"My name is Anoth, I'm the one who picked you up in the street and brought you here." said Anoth."Let me see that." he said, pointing to his head. There were some smaller wounds. However, none of them really needed medical care. He had, however, received some minor wounds by the Spearow. However, those were quickly history with a little healing spray.

"Tell me, what's your name?"

"My name is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town."

"My name is Anoth." repeated Anoth. "What happened, why did the Spearow attack you?" Anoth asked.

And so Ash Ketchum began to tell his story. How he woke up late and got a Pikachu instead of the starter he picked out. How it did not want to listen to him. How he tried to catch a Pidgey, only to fail. How Pikachu looked at the whole thing sitting in a tree and seemed to laugh at it. How he finally threw a stone out of sheer frustration and startled a Spearow. How it first tried to attack him and then attacked Pikachu instead. How Pikachu finally defended himself against the attack, only to achieve that the whole swarm was now after them. How they had run away together then jumped into a river and finally "borrowed" a bike. How they then tried to escape with this bike, only to fall and then be overtaken by the Spearow swarm. And how he was eventually rescued by Pikachu. after that he only knew how he came to the back to the living world on the back of a Pokémon and Anoth himself.

As soon as he got through his story, Officer Jenny stormed into the Pokémon Center. Including her motorcycle.

"I SAID HALT!" she called sourly. Her Growlithe was right next to her in the sidecar. Then her eyes fell on Anoth, who only gave her a flat look. "Oh Anoth, excuse me, I did not know you were that."

There are so many who ride or even have two of them on an Arkanona. " muttered Anoth, who was a little annoyed, loud enough that Officer Jenny could not understand him.

This was now much smaller. And not just because Anoth was there. But also because she was looked at by one of the Chansey with a look that said: If you shout around like that again, then I'll throw you out. But then her eyes fell on Ash. "But you, I want to know who you are from." In the meantime, Growlithe had happily run to Anoth and jumped into his arms.

"What's that?" Ash fumbled for his Pokédex and scanned Growlithe. That's exactly what the policewoman grabbed from him seconds later.

[Growlithe, a Puppy Pokémon of pleasant demeanor and great diligence. It drives enemies away with barks and bites.]

"Grow grow Growlithe?" ₱ Do you have the Fire Stone?

"Yes I have." said Anoth. He glanced over at Jenny. She was about to control Ash's Pokédex and only nodded when she saw the Fire Stone. When Anoth looked back at Growlithe, it was already one step ahead of him. Because just at the moment when Anoth's eyes fell on the Growlithe it already pressed his nose against the Fire Stone. Immediately the Growlithe jumped back to the ground. Only seconds later there stood an Arcanine.

"Ar! Arcanine nine!" ₱ Yes! Finally I am not small anymore!

That brought a grin from Anoth.

"What did she say?" Jenny asked.

"She is glad that she is not small anymore." Anoth's answer came back. That made Officer Jenny and Ash smile. In the meantime, the Arcanine just sat there and panted.

Again the voice of the Pokédex was to be heard. Apparently, Ash had now scanned the Arcanine.

[Arcanine, a Legendary Pokémon. The evolved form of Growlithe. Arcanine is known for its bravery and fierce loyalty. Growlithe evolves into Arcanine from its use of a Fire Stone.]

"I promised you a Fire Stone last time." said Anoth."I keep my promise." With that, he threw the rock over at Officer Jenny. She caught it easily. These stones could easily be used several times.

"Thank you."Officer Jenny said and stroked her Arcanine. "But next time, please do not jump over me, will you?" Ash had tried to scan the Arcanona too, just to let his Pokédex tell him that this Pokémon was unknown.

"If it's not an emergency again, then I'll avoid it." said Anoth.

"Then everything is clear here." Officer Jenny said, going back to her motorcycle. The Arcanine took place in the sidecar. "Then we are gone." With these words she roared away. Anoth turned to his two Arcanona. As Ash walked over to the video phones. Anoth continued to release Lucy from her saddlebags. Then he took the saddle off of Mandy. With the saddle swung on his back and the saddlebags as well, he put them in a corner where both were not in the way. He took a brush from the saddlebag and went back to the two Arcanona. Once there, he started to brush their fur. In the meantime, the red-haired girl had arrived as well and began to complain quite loudly to Ash, only to fall over with the ruined bicycle that she carried around. She had just stood back up and wanted to make a new tirade. Only she did not get that far.

The air surveillance of Viridian City raised the alarm. A Pokémon formed balloon was sighted with a direct course to the Pokémon Center.

"What does that mean?" Ash asked.

"Trouble." was Anoth's simple answer.

Immediately after, the sound of breaking glass could be heard, and shortly thereafter, the Pokémon Center's entire reception room was filled with dense brown smoke. As this distorted three figures were visible. A man, a woman and a Meowth. As well as two more Pokémon. A rattan and a Weezing. They also began to recite a rather idiotic motto.

Prepare for trouble!
And make it double!
To protect the world from devastation!
To unite all peoples within our nation!
To denounce the evils of truth and love!
To extend our reach to the stars above!
Jessie!
James!
Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!
Surrender now, or prepare to fight!

Here there motto was interrupted by Anoth, who already had enough of these runaway circus clowns. "Because otherwise we could not win anyway." Jessie's exclamation of "WHAT ?!" was ignored by Anoth. He stared at the two people with a look that said he was anything but impressed. "Mandy, Lucy" Anoth picked up two more Pokéballs. Two Liepard came to light. "Lana, Lena, throw these runaway circus clowns outside and send them packing!"

"That's unfair!" cried James. "Four Pokémon against three!"

"Do I look like I care?" exclaimed Anoth.

Then the two Arcanona and the two Liepard continued to throw them out. First, the four threw the five out with targeted tackle attacks and then send them then flying with a combination of two shadow balls and two fireballs.

The only thing Anoth still heard after that was, "Team Rocket is blasting of again!"

"So much to that." said Anoth. "Well done you four." Anoth stroked both Arcanona followed by the two Liepard.

"Thank you." that was the voice of Sister Joy, who now stood behind him. Anoth turned around.

"You saved the Pokémon Center."

"You are welcome." was Anoth's answer.

The rest of the day went quietly.

On his further travels, he met the three a few times. But each time they came and maybe only if they were lucky enough to half recite the second line of their motto, and then they were flying again.

Anoth was asking himself if they liked to be send flying.

.

But I'm afraid that's what they were.

Anoth just shook his head. He could not understand why Giovanni could annoy himself so long with the idiot trio. If he had been in his place he would have fired the three ages ago.

.

Meanwhile below the shield which Virbank protected City.

.

"Pidgey to Spearow, please come Spearow."

"This is Spearow, I'm listening to you Pidgey."

"We found the source of the shield, transmitting pictures, waiting for further commands." There was a short break.

"Turn it off."

"Roger that." With these words, the two agents made a special rocket launcher ready for action. This fired a prototype rocket. It had in the warhead no explosives but a very strong impulse generator. Seconds later, the rocket was on its way to its destination.

.

To Mitara and Konoko

.

Mitara and Konoko were so close that their noses almost touched each other. Both of them were in their Drago-Seraphim form, but between the two hovered a golden pulsing ball from whose highest point a jet shot upwards, which finally formed the shield over the city.

This shield protected not only from Artillery shelling but also from Anoth's own storm. If this shield had not been there, the city would now be nothing more than a landscape of ruins. Especially now that Anoth had sworn up a whirlwind again and let it go to a sort of artillery position. The guns that were unlucky enough to be hit by the storm were thrown around like toys.

.

About 2km from the battle

.

A young Absol looked out of her den watching the events in the city with concern. Her two young stood under her and watched what was going on in the city. One of the two little whined anxiously. They all could feel there was a battle going on down there. And that they were absolutely powerless. The Absol lowered her head to her two small ones and licked them to calm them down. She herself was also restless, but besides watching the action, she could do nothing. When a shadow fell over her she startled. One of the heavy guns the tornado had thrown up rushed right at her. She was paralyzed with shock. She knew she could not get away and just stared at the high-speed death that was about to fall on her.

Then, however. A blast. A Shadowball had exploded on the flying cannon, altering its trajectory so that the cannon dropped into the ground a few dozen yards away. She stared for a long time at the gun that had drilled into the ground. Only then did her gaze wander in the direction from which the Shadowball came.

She did not believe what she saw. There was a Absidronan floating there. A creature that was known to the Absol but only in stories and legends that were told as bed time stories to their small. An Absidronan was basically a 4m Absol with dragon wings who were white on the top and black on the bottom. Admiring, she looked up, as the Absidronan first circled around her and then finally set in front of her for the landing. Then the great Absidronan stood before her.

"Are you alright?" Absidronan asked in the language of her people.

"Sol." ₱ Yes.

"And who are you?" Absidronan asked one of the little ones, who now grazed her legs.

"Ab, Ab, Absol." ₱ You're big. ₱ said one of the little admirers.

"Yes I am." With that the Absidronan lay down next to the little girl, who immediately jumped on her head. A short time later, two Absidian were added.

"What are you doing here again Galeyna?" Batara asked. She was one of the approaching Absidian.

"Mother!" Galeyna called back.

"I hope you'll give me some small ones at some point." said Unera.

"Mother!" Galeyna called again.

Yes. Galeyna had two mothers. They were all three Shadowbeasts of Anoth. And Anoth had allowed one of the two Absidian, Unera, to assume a male form, if only for a short time. Unera and Batara had really annoyed Anoth until he gave in. And so Galeyna was conceived. The highest level in the evolution line of the Absol. In its development, it focused mainly on targeted training and precise evolution. Not easy. But doable.

"Abs Absol sol Absol?" ₱ Why are you here anyway?

"Anoth, our Master, has send us out to evacuate the wild Pokémon from the area around the city, most of them fled when the Rockets marched in. But some, like you, are still here, so that's why we're here." Explained Galeyna. The young Absol wanted to ask another question, but was interrupted when Galeyna made a small green ball, which one of her little ones immediately made into his toy. The other young jumped down from Galeyna's head and joined the game. "In addition, your cave was the last on our route, so we stay here now." This was followed by a long discussion among the four, which lasted until the battle for Virbank was over.

.

To Kumiko

.

Kumiko, meanwhile, had not only found her fleet, but also reduced it to the aircraft carrier. All other ships were sunk or incapacitated, not least because the fleet of Unova had finally arrived.

Only the aircraft carrier was still there. And he resisted doggedly. In addition, Kumiko received the message that she was not allowed to sink the ship, as the Rockets held an admiral as prisoner on it. Not enough, the ship had a protective shield. If only a primitive variant of it. As for the Pokémon, Jets and helicopters, 90 percent of them, were nothing more than scrap metal and the Pokémon were all extinguished. Targeted so-called Supernova spells had done the job very well.

The supernova spell or nova discharge or nova fire storm was actually what the last name says. An extremely hot fire cloud that surrounds the one who speaks the spell and then spreads out at high speed. Very effective in fighting whole swarms of enemies. These Team Rocket Pokémon, as they were already called, were all just evaporated.

The last assault that had caused Kumiko to resort to the Black Sun's forces had made sure that she removed the kid gloves and was no longer playing with her loot. It was time to finish this game.

So in a short time she brought down the jets first, closely followed by Team Rocket's laboratory experiments and finally the helicopters. After that, sending the ships to the bottom of the sea was a trifle. Some energy balls in the right places or like the last battleship, just a sun ball in the middle and they sank. Of course, she was shot at steadily, but the rockets were shot down by their Shadowbeasts before they even had a chance to reach her. Something like old anti-aircraft guns were not installed on these ships. And so, after a relatively short time, only the carrier remained. By now Kumiko was breaking the shields of the ship.

The shield held for no more than ten minutes. Then the shields broke not only by the continuous firing of Kumiko, but also the Navy of Unova. Two more energy balls in the stern of the ship and it was unable to maneuver. A whole hodgepodge of laser-guided missiles combined with energy balls paralyzed the ship's defensive weapons. Now that the ship was drifting in the water, it was ripe to be boarded.

A short time later she landed on the flight deck and took on her human form. Meanwhile, her two wyvern circled the area, keeping their eyes open. At the same time, she also received a message from her implants that the repairs to her ablative armor had been finally completed. The nanites had done their job.

"Wonderful." she said to herself, activating it in an instant. Then she brought out her aura rifle and took a look at the flight deck. Around them were a lot of destroyed fighter jets and helicopters burning on the flight deck, covering the deck in a dense black cloud of smoke. Luckily, the wind blew the smoke away from her.

It was not long before she was discovered. The first warning sign she had that she had been discovered was a loud PING sound right next to her. It was exactly this sound that made her dive for cover. Their implants took less than a second to determine where the shot came from. It was a sniper standing on top of the tower. She reconfigured her aura rifle into a sniper rifle. She sought a place to attack the shooter. She found him near a wrecked truck lying around on the deck. a short time later, the shooter crashed dead on the deck. And Kumiko continued on her way. However, she did not move three steps, as she found herself back on the ground as more soldiers opened the fire on her.

That let her role to the side and search cover near a destroyed vehicle that was used to move the planes and helicopters on deck.

"They can go nowhere and they still won't give up." she growled as she fired blind at her attackers.

Now some of Kumiko's shadow-beasts came into the game. She released four of her Shadowbeasts. These were four Draconides. These Draconides were by nature Anthromorphic dragons. Their main color was red. While her stomach sides and the underside of the tail were colored with a lighter red color. But there were also other colorings or ones in which the pattern was reversed. Their wings wore a darker red on the top than on their underside.

These four Draconides were all female. They were dressed in their own version of the Ablative armor and were also armed with aura rifles. Now they and Kumiko started the fight against the Rockets. These, however, were soon reinforced by several ruffians, who immediately released their Pokémon on Kumiko's small troop.

But then something happened. Kumikos Wyvern were ready to attack but something happened that none of them had expected. Arceus had appeared in the sky, and only seconds later, all Pokémon from Team Rocket had disappeared. It had happened in Virbank seconds before. When that happened, Kumiko nodded once to Arceus and Arceus disappeared immediately afterwards.

"Let's get it done." Kumiko said and resumed the shelling. The ruffians, who were now in a panic, were easy targets. The blue fire of the Aura rifles firing in the automatic fire mingled with the balls of the Marine soldiers that were now also boarding the drifting wreck.

It took a few minutes. but in the end they managed to secure the deck. But now they faced another problem. The door in front of them was welded shut in the meantime. This problem, however, was practically done by itself. The view to the right above revealed a hole. this was probably torn into the tower by one of the grenades that missed its target.

"Useful." Muttered Kumiko and jumped in through the hole into the ship's interior. Her four Draconides jumped after her.

"Do we know where our target is?" one of the four Draconides asked.

"We're looking for prison cells now, the chances are he's right there." Kumiko said and followed the staircase downstairs. Once there, the Rockets made it pretty easy for her. They had nailed a deck plan to the wall there. A quick analysis later and they knew they had to go down. more precisely four more decks. Only the staircase did not go on. They needed another way down.

Another sealed door blocked their way. "Again?" Kumiko growled. "Well."She let one of her blades shoot out of her hand and instantly heated them to several thousand degrees Celsius. Only this time she did not ram the blade through the door, but through the wall 3m away from the door. The reason was simple. The Rockets were already waiting for them on the other side of the door. But then who said that they absolutely had to take a door to get ahead?

So they just walked through the steel wall and arrived in a room that contained nothing except a few boxes and cleaning utensils. It was probably something like a storeroom. For whatever this room served, it was definitely enemy-free. The door to the storeroom led out onto the corridor behind the welded door.

"Throw out some stun grenades." Kumiko whispered to her Draconides. One of the Draconides took two stun grenades and pulled the pins directly on them she threw them through the door, which was open a little gap. It took only two seconds to wait. Then there were two loud bangs together with glaring flashes of light. Immediately, they kicked the door open and literally mowed the Rockets down. The whole thing lasted only a few seconds, then the corridor was free.

At the end of the corridor was an exceptionally wide open door. As soon as they were through, they heard a loud shot and right thereupon one of the Draconides fell to the floor with a cry of pain.

"Minja" called one of the other Draconides. But her concern was unfounded. Minja was already crawling over to her.

"Ouch." Minja said as she felt the now completely deformed piece of metal from her armor. She was hit just below her left breast. "Shit, that hurt." she told herself while she had her hand over where she had been hit. Shortly after, the spot began to glow golden and in the silence of the hangar, the cracking of the ribs could be heard as they set back to their proper position. "Broken ribs are really not pleasant."

"Still better than a hole." said one of the other Draconides.

"That does not make it any less painful."

Meanwhile, Minja examined what was left of the bullet. "Caliber 50 sniper rifle." she finally said.

"Great." Their armor was able to stop the bullet. But the kinetic energy behind it made at least a broken rib in most cases. Or two. Were the armor in its beast form, the only thing that would announce the impact would be a ping noise that would be produced by the rebounding bullet.

"Can't you just turn yourself into your beast form Kumiko and kill these idiots?" asked the Draconide, who had been hit earlier.

"Everstone generator." Kumiko said simply.

"Crap." The Draconide knew exactly what an Everstone generator was. He sent out an interference field like so many others did. Only this prevented them from being able to transform, or that a Pokémon evolved. But the effective range is very limited. Only scarce 150m around the generator. In addition, the radiation was unable to penetrate steel. So it had to be somewhere nearby. Probably hidden in one of the wooden boxes at the other end.

"Yeah, shit, that means we have to go the long way." Now Kumiko took her time alone to find out where they were. Once they entered, they had only seen a huge hangar and were looking for cover on the closest containers. These were both made of steel. The interfering field generator could not possibly be in there. She took a small mirror and peered around the corner with it. Almost the entire area of the hangar was empty. To the other end it was a good 120m. 100m of it was completely empty.

Just at the other end were a few boxes and a couple of jets that looked like they were in dire need of repairs. There were a few wooden ones under the boxes. Kumiko could bet that the interferer was hiding in any of them. The problem was that they could not get there without getting shot. The ground beneath them was so heavily armored that even Kumiko could not get through it. She needed her beats form to break through the Armor. But with this interference Generator active it was impossible to take the form.

The walls of the hangar also formed the outer wall of the ship. The blanket would also be an option. but coverage was also there nil. A camouflage would be the solution to sneak up. Only there was once again this damned interference field generator, which also nullified this option. Then there would be the containers themselves. With them as cover they could do it. But even here came a problem to bear. They were both completely full and weighed at least 30 tons. They could not do that in their current forms .The walls of the hangar also formed the outer wall of the ship. The blanket would also be an option. but coverage was also there nil.

But even here came a problem to bear. They were both completely full and weighed at least 30 tons. They could not do that in their current forms.

In other words. She was stuck here for the time being. At least until she came up with a solution.

Then she noticed something. The gates of the hangar were closed. The whole hangar was lit only by the lamps on the ceiling. However, she also had to drop this idea with the answer she got from one of the Draconides.

'Can you see what kind of target optics they have?'

'Infrared.'

'Damn it.' Kumiko cursed. 'Even if we turn off the light they see us.' I could really use a few smoke grenades right about now.

"Smoke out!" suddenly a voice called from behind them.

Speak of the Devil and he shall come to you.

Immediately afterwards several smoke grenades flew over them and within seconds created a smoke screen that was completely opaque. "Rocket Launcher Ahead! Align Targets and Fire Free!" With these words, two soldiers came forward with rocket launchers on their shoulders and only seconds later. They had an experimental target optics that allowed them to see life signs. That's exactly what they were aiming for and fired. Two rockets were fired, crossed the hangar and hit. Of the two snipers who made the hangar just before the death zone, there was nothing left but a red cloud.

"Hello ladies."

"Stuff it, Sergeant!"

"Price." said Kumiko. "I already asked me when you would come."

"I cannot leave all the fun to you alone." Kumiko just snorted at this answer.

"Joker." said one of the Draconides.

"We're wasting time here." Kumiko called. With that, they started moving again, crossing the room in seconds. "Find this damned interfering field generator!" With that the Draconide women began to disassemble the boxes. It took a while but then they found him. And as Kumiko suspected, he hid in one of the wooden boxes. A grenade later and all that was left of it was electronic scrap. "Now let's play!"

"Move out of the way!" Price and his people left Kumiko, who now just walked into the middle of the hangar. Then she began to change her shape and only seconds later there was a Drago-Seraphim with a shoulder height of almost 5m.

"And that's your friend, Captain?" asked one of Price's soldiers.

"That would be nice, but she already has an husband for a long time."

Meanwhile, Kumiko was using a jet of plasma, which she fired from her mouth to melt through the ground. The prisoner block was only two floors below them. And she just burned herself a way into it. However, the right timing was important. Otherwise her jet shoots too far and she sinks the ship. But here came the implants and a certain amount of experience into play.

No sooner was the hole in it than a very short jet of ice caused the glowing edges to cool down almost immediately.

"Captain, I hope you have some ropes with you."

"Without them, I never go out of the house."

"That's good then." With these words, Kumiko turned back and just jumped down through the hole. It was only nine meters deep. No problem for her. And not for the four Draconian women who just jumped after her. Below, they were immediately welcomed by the guards. But they were not a real obstacle. Seconds later and Price and his men were down too.

"Where is our target?"

"Must be in one of the cells."

"Check it!"

It took a while. But finally...

"We got him!" came the call from one of the soldiers.

"Is it him? Check it again!" exclaimed Price.

"Confirmed, it is him!"

"Hammerhead 2-1 to Overwatch, target secured, we're on the way out." Price said to the radio.

"Hammerhead 2-1 Overwatch here. Confirmed. Transport on the way."

"Then let's go." said Price. Minutes later, they were back on the flight deck.

"The next time we have to go up a hole, we'll climb." Price said, holding his aching butt.

"Throwing you up was just the fastest way." was Kumiko's answer. That gave her a glare from Price. That she only grinning on. When he still did not leave his evil eye, Kumiko continued. "Actually you cannot have felt much about it anyway."

"Yes, yes, your damping field." Price grumbled. "But that does not protect you if you forget to remove a pin when fixing the uniform." The last one was snarled out and just loud enough that Kumiko understood. This, in turn, caused Kumiko to laugh. And not only with her. a few soldiers and their four Draconides laughed or giggled. They had probably heard it too. Thank you hearing aid. What's the name of the beautiful saying?

Who has the damage does not need to worry about the ridicule.

It took some time but eventually they got under control again. Price had the feeling. that would linger this story for a long time. And so he was very anxious to change the subject.

"What do you have before Kumiko?" asked he.

"I'm flying back to Virbank City." she answered. "My job here is complete, the rest of it is up to the Navy."

"Then good luck."

"You too." Kumiko said, calling her Draconides back to the Shadow Plains. Immediately after, she turned back into her Drago-Seraphim form and took off. But not without leaving a comment. "And do not let yourself be stabbed in the butt." This triggered an incomprehensible grumble from Price.

.

Virbank City

.

The rocket fired by the Rocket agent hit its target. The pulse generator triggered. The point where both energy flows from Konoko and Mitara converged exploded violently shortly thereafter. Konoko and Mitara had just enough time to open their eyes. Then they were thrown by the explosion already in opposite directions. They did not hear that they were hurled into two buildings. They were unconscious even before they collided with them. This was caused by the feedback of the fed energies.

The shield over the city, deprived of its source of energy, began to dissipate. That, in turn, forced Anoth to dissolve his storm. This happened by simply sucking in the full energy of the storm. Without the energy it collapsed on itself.

Now there was only one more problem. You do not just dissolve a quantum plasma ion storm. Such a storm develops a life of its own and also generates enormous amounts of energy itself. It had to go somewhere. So Anoth collected them into a massive energy beam and let them go on the approaching Team Rocket troops. With this attack alone, he reduced their numbers by a whole third. Everything that hit this ray was vaporized on the spot. No matter if it was humans, tanks or Pokémon. Afterwards the only thing that still bore witness to the storm was the occasional dark cloud in the sky.

It was precisely this moment that Arceus chose to show up next to Anoth.

'Arceus!' called Anoth, who immediately avoided a rocket fired at him, which was then destroyed one of his Shadowbeasts by firing from one of the active focus points. If the storm previously made it virtually invisible to targeting systems, that was no longer the case with the dissolution of the storm. 'You should still be in your hall and recover!'

'You know, I am-' Arceus had to destroy a missile that had been fired at her -'-capable of separating my hall from the flow of time. '

'So you cheated.'

'So to speak.' admitted Arceus. 'But now to the point why I am here.' There were suddenly flashes of light everywhere across the field. 'That should simplify matters for you now.'

'What exactly was that?'

'All the Pokémon Team Rocket had are gone now.' Arceus answered, avoiding a rocket that came too close to her. 'I'll probably better leave again.' There was another flash of light and Arceus was gone. Anoth glanced in the direction where Arceus was just a second ago before he looked away, and just had time to teleport away himself as a whole swarm of missiles flew just where he was.

"That was a little bit to close." Anoth muttered.

'Anoth! Anoth! Are you there?'

'Calm down, Kumiko.' Anoth replied to the almost panicking question. 'The missiles only caught air.' Anoth now took on a larger form. From 6m up to 12m. This brought his wing span to 269m with a body length from the tip of the muzzle to tail end of almost 114m. 'Kumiko, take care of Konoko and Mitara. They are both unconscious. '

'Way ahead of you.'

Anoth, meanwhile, had gone into the dive, and now attacked one of the siege tanks, which was in the back of the army and had been shelling the shield or the city for some time now. His two scorpion scissors were now used. The siege tank was now right in front of him. Anoth also saw the tank try to turn its gun in his direction. The tower had to turn 90 ° and it needed exactly the same amount of seconds to do that.

So it was not surprising that Anoth had the turret between his scorpion scissors and ripped it off the tank long before it had even a chance to turn in his direction. As soon as he had torn the tower from the tank, he continued to abuse exactly that as a club and struck with it on the right next to the first siege tank. Its gun barrel was bent so much that it became completely unusable. With that, two of the five siege tanks were out.

The next tank had managed to align its tower. However, Anoth had dodged faster than the gun could fire. And so he grabbed the tank from below and threw it on the next on it. This pushed the tank through the impact on the third to a nice pile of metal. An energy ball later and the three siege tanks were reduced to a 10,000 piece puzzle.

So much for that.

'Kumiko, how about you?'

'Konoko and Mitara are back on their feet. They were just unconscious. Not more. We take over the ground troops from here. Grab this Giovanni guy. '

'Roger that.' Anoth closed the telepathic connection with Konoko and opened it to Kagami. 'Kagami, what about you?'

'These ships are hard to crack from the outside. Unless you really want to get acquainted with one of their singularity guns. '

'So from the inside.'

'Yes. Hardly guns at the hangar doors. Ideal point to get in. '

'Thanks for the information.' With these words, Anoth spread his wings and took off. His six enormous wings carried him without problems and soon he could see Kagami. She had just sent another one of the airships burning to the ground. But 10 more were still in the air. Plus the boat of Giovanni. These ships were firing on Kagami at the moment and had not noticed him yet. For Anoth was that ideal. He took advantage of this by rising higher. A short time later, he was several hundred meters above the airships and brought out two ordinary looking grenades from his storage dimension, which he now held with his tentacles. Only these were not simple grenades. There were grenades with enough explosive power to transform a house into a 5m deep crater.

Anoth now went into the dive, racing right through four of the ships. In each case he threw one of the grenades into one of the engines of two of the ships. No sooner had that happened than they exploded, tearing off the engines. The airships, no longer able to fly straight, came off course and collided with the ship next to them. The end result was four burning wrecks that crashed to the ground. Only five were left now. Kagami had brought down yet another ship.

Anoth now targeted the next airship. While it did the same with him. Anoth was forced to dodge again and again and only came relatively slowly to the ship. But finally, he had come close enough to attach himself to the hangar doors with his own version of the flashback. These were not an obstacle for him and so he was within seconds of the ship in his human form. However, the crew of the airship had learned and already expected it. The hangar was crammed with everything possible. The only thing Anoth missed, however, were the devices that usually stood in a hangar. Aircraft. Not one of them was in here. Instead, the hangar was crammed with improvised barricades. Manned by Team Rocket Soldiers. They did not waste any time and immediately started firing on Anoth.

That could take a little longer. Anoth thought.

Anoth ducked as the first bullets whizzed past him. The weapons that were used could hardly penetrate his armor. Nevertheless, they were unpleasant. The rocket launcher, however, was a slightly different story. They would get through the armor. But strictly speaking, Anoth was not completely alone. Right now, most of his Shadowbeasts were on the ground fighting the enemy forces or in the air to fetch down helicopters and other such blowflies. But he still had a few with him. And that's exactly what he got out now.

Anoth released his two Glaceon, which immediately went on to freeze the entrances to the hangar shut. This in turn meant that the Team Rocket soldiers who were pouring in no longer ran in but slipped inside. No sooner had that done than they scurried back to Anoth and took an Anthro shape. Immediately afterwards they also had an armor on, as well as an aura rifle in their hands. They were followed by Anoth's three Suicune, two Dicune and two Psyune. Now at ten, they went into the attack.

Psyune were also an evolution in the Eevee line. An Vaporeon can evolve into a Suicune and then either to a Dicune and then to the final stage. A Psyune. In between there was another development. A Suicune could also become an Aquaune. The Dicune had a much darker coat than a Suicune. This was crossed by lighter blue stripes. Instead of the two bands, as the Suicune possesses, they have a very long tail that ends in a sharp blade. They still have the crown of the Suicune, only that it is golden. There is a big red jewel on her forehead, and her mane looks like it's made of water vapor. They came at a shoulder height of about 3m. With a full body length of 15m, they are anything but small.

The three Suicune now worked together with the two Glaceon, the Suicune fired a hydro pump in the direction of one of the doors, which the two Glaceon froze on the spot to ice with an ice blast. The result was a door that no one could get through. And since the ice was the end result of a special training the Rockets had only one way to remove it. Chop. Against fire, the ice was as good as immune. Even explosives would do little damage to the ice. And so it was not long before you could hear several soldiers begin to work at the ice with fire axes.

Meanwhile, the three Dicune were busy with other Team Rocket members, who believed they were save, behind their barricades against the shelling. They made sure to convince them of the opposite. They simply brought them out with their psychic abilities behind the barricades. Helplessly hovering in the air, they were easy targets for Anoth and the others, and dealt with so quickly.

"How many of those are here?" one of the Glaceon asked, sitting next to Anoth.

"The ship has nearly 1,000 men crew."

"Great."

"Of which we should have eliminated about 400 now."

"Stay 600 more."

"Yes." confirmed Anoth. "They know they cannot defeat us, so they can only attack us in droves."

"And so they will die in droves."

"I agree!" This increased the intensity of the fight. Then Anoth came up with an idea, remembering the fact that he was in an airship. "Avina! Aquira! Get the hangar door out!" Anoth shouted to his two Dicune. "The rest is cover fire!"

It only took two minutes. then the loud noise of cracking metal could be heard and only seconds later it became noticeably airier in the hangar. And also a little brighter.

"Send them flying!" Anoth underscored this order by grabbing a group of Rockets with his telekinetic powers to throw them straight through the now missing hangar door. It was a long way down. Enough time to think about the approaching death. They finally flew at a height of a few kilometers. It takes a while to arrive at the bottom. So about 2 minutes free fall at about 6,000m altitude.

A short time later, the hangar was free of enemies. But they too had learned. They now awaited them in the corridors of the ship. They would have to fight their way to their goal. But now they had only about 300 soldiers to deal with.

They had just entered one of the corridors that led from the hangar towards the main engine room, where they were already being shot at. A few grenades thrown around the corner quickly dried up this shelling.

This went on for a long time. But then they arrived in the engine room. There, however, they were already expected. A complete company had dug in there. 150 men. And they all had their weapons pointed at the single entrance into the engine room.

"What now?" one of the Dicune asked.

"Quite easy." Anoth answered with a grin. "Stun grenades out and then we flatten them in close combat."

Directly afterwards, several special grenades flew through the open door. These were a variant of the stun grenade, only that they emitted an impulse that attacked not only the eyes and ears but also legs and arms. When the shells went up, they were not only blind and deaf for a short time but also unable to move. And that for at least 10 seconds. Even before the shells sent out their impulse, Anoth and his girls each drew a sword and took a pistol in the other hand. Then they just waited for their shells to explode. As soon as that happened, they sprinted into the engine room.

The few seconds they got through the grenades were enough to give a hole to nearly a third of the guards in the engine room, or a cut where one really belonged. Then the rest got under control again and started firing. But now it became clear why it was not such a great idea to stuff so many people in a relatively small machine room.

The first he reached Anoth slit his throat with his sword, while he made the next one a head shorter. Immediately he took the gun and shot three more with point-accurate shots. The next he rammed his sword through the chest and hurled the unfortunate Team Rocket member at a group of other Rockets. Then the ten seconds were already around.

From the outside, it looked like Anoth and his people were dancing. They moved so fast that the Rockets shot each other in the tightly packed engine room rather than hit them. The end result of the fight was predictable. Of the 150 soldiers who were supposed to protect the engine room, about 67 shot each other. the rest was eliminated by Anoth and his people.

"They were like bowling pins." Anoth muttered. "OK, put the explosives on and then out of those heap of junk." he ordered.

A few minutes later, not only several beeping bombs were sticking to the engines but also two to storage tanks for the fuel of the ship.

"Done." said one of the Dicune.

"Good." said Anoth, who was about to attach the last of the bombs and sync them with the others. "That's it." With that he activated the bomb and together with her began to tick all the bombs of the time fuses. "In twenty seconds this ship is just a pile of scrap. Back with you to the Shadow Plains." A moment later, Anoth stood alone. Anoth sprinted into the center of the engine room, transformed and burned a hole through the floor. As soon as that was done, he returned to his human form and jumped out through this very hole. The guns of the airship had just enough time to turn in his direction, then the bombs they had placed exploded. All at the same time.

The entire rear part of the ship disappeared into a huge fireball. Secondary explosions then started ripping the ship in the air in half. Finally, it fell completely apart and fell in pieces towards the ground.

Anoth, who was still in freefall, resumed his Drago-Seraphim form and was about to take on the next ship, as rockets were already hitting the remaining four ships. Only Giovanni's ship remained undamaged. It had a protective shield on which the rockets exploded harmlessly. The main forces from Unova had arrived. And judging from the missiles, they had brought heavy equipment.

'Anoth, we got reinforcements.' Konoko reported.

'So I have seen.' answered Anoth as he watched the burning wreckage as they fall to the ground.

Unova has sent two complete ranger divisions here.'

'That's the end of the Rockets' Anoth sent back. 'Listen. I send you down to Kagami to help them mop up the last Rockets. Giovanni is mine. '

'Roger that.'

'Did you get it Kagami?'

'Positive.' the answer came back.

'Then to both of us, Giovanni. Let's end it. ' With this telepathic message, Anoth headed straight for Giovanni's ship. This had probably noticed that it had no chance and tried to escape. The shields that had shielded them from the missiles had collapsed and in some places the ship was damaged. One of these holes was now Anoth's ticket.

Anoth transformed himself back into his human form before he reached the hole and was carried by the momentum through the relatively small hole. Anoth surrounded herself with the crash cushion. Then he was already through the hole and had made his way through various boxes and other stuff. Finally, a wall brought him to a standstill.

Did anyone hear that? Shot Anoth through his head as he jumped up and took his aura rifle ready for attack. But no sooner had he done that, the ship was shaken by another rocket impact. Probably not.

"INTRUDER ALERT!"

Or they are simply to slow.

"SECURITY TO STORAGE ROOM FOUR!"

It is probably smarter to disappear from here. Anoth looked around and discovered after a short time a ventilation shaft. Only seconds later he disappeared in it. Not a second too late, as soon as he was inside, Rocket soldiers stormed into the hold. Unfortunately, the ventilation shaft was a dead end. A grid blocked the way. That did not change the fact that it was a relatively good hiding place to surprise them. The opening of the shaft was just above the door through which the Rockets had just come.

"Where is it?" one whispered to the others.

"No idea." the other whispered. Anoth, who was sitting right above them, could understand that, of course. Quietly he drove the blades out of his hand and jumped. The two Rockets heard a noise behind them and had just enough time to open their eyes wide before Anoth landed on them and cut their necks with the blades. As soon as that happened, he pulled the blades back in, pulled out the aura rifle again, and started firing at the other Rockets. These were still far too surprised to react and were dead on the ground only two seconds later. Anoth changed weapons. The aura rifle he swung back on his back and he now brought out two other weapons. Two aura MPs.

These were differed from the Aura rifles in that they were not as adaptable as their larger relatives. but they could be operated with one hand and had a much higher cadence. 1,500 shots a minute.

On the Rockets now went down a real hailstorm on projectiles. More specifically, with two Aura MPs, the 3,000 rounds mean the minute, or even 50 projectiles per second. Combine this firepower with the target assist sensors of the implants and you will get an extremely deadly combination. The Rockets who tried to defend the Corridor did not have the slightest chance. As soon as they were done, Anoth switched back to the Aura rifle. The impact force of the Aura rifle was simply higher than the Aura MP. And walked down the corridor.

It took quite some time and also the two-time use of the Black Sun Army to clear two heavily fortified barricades. But finally he was where he wanted to go. He stood in front of Giovanni's office.

That people always have to think that they could stop me with a simple door. Anoth thought amused.

Anoth drove one of the blades out of his hand, heated it and then rammed it into the door. The door immediately began to melt. A short time later there was a hole in the door and Anoth faced Giovanni. And about three dozen Rockets pointing their guns at him. Behind Anoth, his nine shadowy beasts entered. Who kept all their weapons on The Rockets. Just like them on Anoth and his company.

"So we are finally facing each other. Giovanni Rocketo." The contempt and hatred in Anoth's voice was heard and felt by everyone in the room.

"Anoth." Giovanni, who was sitting behind his desk, answered in the same hateful voice.

"Your fleet is destroyed or is being boarded at this moment, your air units are all down and your army is being wiped out on the ground right now, you've lost, just make it easy for us all and give up."

"I will never do that!" Giovanni cried, slamming his fist on the table. While he might be able to cause anxiety among his subordinates. Anoth, however, left that cold. "I still have the other three!"

"I would not be so sure of that." was Anoth's quiet reply as he grinned at him.

15 minutes earlier

Anoth fired into the corridor with both Aura MPs, forcing the defending Rockets to take cover. And so they did not notice how Anoth let out his Shadowbeasts so they could go unnoticed into a branching corridor. As soon as they got inside, they also got their aura rifles out and made their way to the research lab. Very careful not to be discovered.

It took a while. And they also had to stealthily knock out a few guards. But finally they were at the door of the research section of the ship. And without being discovered. Most of the Rockets were on their way to stop Anoth, who fought his way to Giovanni's office. The perfect distraction.

"Selena (One of the two Draconesses Anoth had) cut the door open." ordered her sister Malana.

"I do not think I need to do that." She answered and showed Malana the key card of one of the guards. Malana just grinned. That saved them time.

"On three." With these words they went into position.

"One."

"Two."

"Three!" Selena pulled the key card through the card reader and the door swung open and they stormed inside. None of the scientists and guards in the room really had a chance to do anything about before when they were dead on the ground just seconds later. They had just shot everyone in the room. No matter if it was scientists or Rockets.

"I think we got Colress." said one of the Dicune, as she turned the corpse of one of the scientists so that she could see the face.

"And this is Tobias." confirmed the other Dicune.

"Very nice, then we do not need to search for them anymore." said Malana. With these words she looked around. Everywhere stood computers and laboratory equipment. Some of them were destroyed by the firefight. But there was no trace of Palkia, Dialga or Giratina. They have to be here somewhere.

"FOUND THEM!" called one of them. When Malana's gaze shifted in the direction of the call, she saw one of the Dicunes standing in the doorway to one of the side rooms. As Malana entered the room she could confirm it. There were Dialga, Palkia and Giratina. In tanks. Floating. Surrounded by some liquid and connected to various cables that had the thickness of a leg.

"Get them out of there." Immediately upon this command, the others began serving the consoles. Shortly thereafter, the tanks were empty of the liquid and the hoses automatically disconnected. Then the glass lifted up. "Put them in the transport balls and then back to Anoth."

Transport balls were just like Pokéballs. With one key difference. They did not catch the Pokémon. They only transported them. A wild Pokémon would get in and a wild Pokémon would come back out. A short time later, all three were in these balls and then laid in Stasisballs. They were about to leave the room when they heard a low moan that seemed to come from one of the cabinets on the wall. Quickly Malana ordered her squad to take a stand. When that had happened, she opened the door of the closet without warning and aimed her weapon into it. What she found was not what she had expected.

"Shira? Ari? What are you two doing here?" The cupboard contained two old friends. Two female Anthromorphic Reshiram Anoth had rescued from a Team Rocket research facility about 3 years ago. There Team Rocket tried to cross Human DNA with Pokémon DNA to create Super Soldiers. At that time, he had offered the two to be included as a shadow beast. What the two refused. So there ways parted. However, they did not expect to see them that way again.

Both Reshiram were naked. Both had injuries all over their bodies. There otherwise white coat and feathers were crusted with dried blood and things she did not want to know what exactly it was. In addition, both were severely malnourished and unable to stand. Still not enough, both of them were chained to the wall with heavy chains and, to put the crown on the whole, they wore thought control collars.

"Find the controls for the things!" Malana ordered as she realized what they were wearing on their necks. Immediately, the others were looking for this device. Barely a minute later they had found it. Tobias had it with him. The control now in the hands of one of the Glaceon was quickly set to disable both collars and the electronic locks opened to allow them to be removed. The eyes of both Reshiram, previously glassy, almost milky, returned to their usual blue.

"W- What?" Shira asked. "Malana? What happened?"

"Where ... where am I?" Ari asked as she leaned on her elbows. She felt one of her ribs move in a way it should not.

"You're on a Team Rocket airship." answered Malana. "What's the last thing you can remember?"

"Two months after you released us, we learned to accept Human Form." Ari started.

"From that point on, we've been more often with people, and in one of those visits it happened." Shira continued.

"We were ambushed by Team Rocket troops and the next thing I know is you're here." Ari brought it to an end.

"What's the last date you can remember?"

"Twenty-eighth of April." Shira replied.

"Year?"

"Two thousand fourteen, why?" answered Ari.

"We write the date Sixteenth of July, two thousand and sixteen."

"What?" both shouted.

"Yes, you've been in control of Team Rocket for more than two years."

"Malana, we have to go!" she was reminded by one of the Suicune.

"Understand Miéri, we'll both put you in transport balls now, and then in Stasisballs, right?" Both Reshiram nodded. And only a short time later they did exactly that.

Immediately afterwards, they made their way back to Anoth. Their job was done.

End of the flashback

Giovanni stared at the monitor, which now showed three empty tanks.

"As I said, I would not be so sure about that." Anoth said again. "Just do it and give up."

"No!" Giovanni cried. "Kill them!"

The Rockets immediately started to fire on Anoth and his people. They in turn responded with their aura rifles as they sought cover. They found them behind bookshelves, overturned tables or showcases in the room. Anoth threw a grenade over the table, which he had overturned and used as cover. Anoth had set the grenade to detonation on impact shortly before throwing it. This meant that when the grenade fell back to the ground she also exploded immediately after hitting the ground or any object in its way. The grenade took out several Rockets. They had no chance to react.

Meanwhile, one of the two Glaceon had their aura rifle programmed for Scattershots. That made it as effective as a shotgun. In this mode, the rifle fired 20 shots at once with the scatter, as it usually has a shotgun. Two others also had their weapons set to this mode. As a result, the fight did not last very long. But no sooner was a problem out of the world, the next was ready to take over. So here too.

"Where the hell is Giovanni ?!" exclaimed an annoyed Glaceon.

"There must be a secret door. Seek it!" ordered Anoth.

A short time later.

"Here it is." That was one of the Suicune this time. She pointed to one of the wall panels.

"This is a Unobtanium alloy, I cannot get through it." Anoth murmured as he examined the panel. "Somehow it must be opened." Anoth's eyes wandered to the candlestick, which was right next to the panel on the wall. At first glance, a normal bronze candlestick. But if he looked more closely, he could see fingerprints on the candlestick, covered with dirt that had stirred up the grenade blast. "OK let's see." Anoth grabbed the candlestick and with a courageous jerk not only opened the door but Anoth also tore the candlestick from the wall. Anoth looked at the candlestick in his hand for a second, then simply threw it back without looking where he threw it exactly. "Let's go!"

Why do they always have to run? Thought Anoth as he ran after Giovanni.

They followed Giovanni into a hangar where he was about to board one of the jets standing there. A quick shot in the leg, and one into the turbines of the jet however, destroyed this plan.

"It's over!" exclaimed Anoth.

"No not yet." Giovanni said quietly. He took out a syringe that was filled with a strangely colored fluid and then rammed it into his hip.

"Oh shit. That cannot be good." Anoth cursed when he saw Giovanni begin to mutate. When the mutation was complete, something was in front of him that looked like Palkia, Dialga and Giratina had been lumped together and stirred vigorously. "Why can they simply surrender for a change?" Anoth murmured as he watched the mutation.

"Well, you want to dance?" With these words, Anoth took his 4m Drago-Seraphim form, and at the same time called his Shadowbeasts back to the Shadow Plains. "Then we will dance now!"

They both started each other. Anoth let his claws glow with power then made a powerful blow with his front paw. But Giovanni managed to dodge the blow that was aimed at his throat and put a little distance between himself and Anoth to and then fired fireballs at him. Only to experience a surprise.

"You want to fight fire with fire, not smart." said Anoth, who had not minded the fireballs at all. "But let me show you how to do it right, yes, I'm a fire elemental, unlike you!" Actually, Anoth was a double elemental. The combination was strange. They were opposites to each other. Fire and water.

No sooner had Anoth spoken the words than he began to cover Giovanni with his own fireballs. Giovanni dodged them while he flew once across the hangar and then outside. All the while, the fireballs just flew past him and hit the walls and tore holes in the steel. Unfortunately, one of those superhot fireballs struck one of the gas tanks in the hangar. What followed was a chain of explosions that began to tear the airship apart.

A chain of explosions that made Anoth unwilling to go down with the now burning wreck. Something Giovanni obviously shared, because now the fight went on outside.

Giovanni attacked with a Roar Of Time attack. Closely followed by a Spacial Rend only to then disappear with Shadow Force. Anoth could stop the first attack and stop the second one with his own energy beam. Only to find out that Giovanni had disappeared.

Where is the coward going?

Anoth looked around as the smoke had formed, as both attacks exploded in an explosion, slowly dissolved and he could not discover Giovanni. Then suddenly he appeared just behind Anoth and hit him in the back. This made sure that Anoth lost several hundred meters in height before he could stabilize his flight again. However, when he looked up again a new Roar Of Time attack welcomed him. Anoth just had enough time to curl up in a ball and close the ablative armor all over his body. Then the beam hit him and sent him at supersonic speed towards the ground.

There he hit the roof of one of the skyscrapers and crashed through the middle of it until he almost reached the basement. Right in the middle of the foyer he came to a halt. Not only did he leave behind a lot of rubble through the floors above him, where he had crashed through. But also cracks in the ground.

"A high on the impact damping fields." Anoth murmured as he emerged from the ball shape again and stood as a Drago-seraphim with heavy armor in the foyer. "Bastard." Anoth growled. "As you like, we'll go straight to the main course and skip the appetizer." Anoth turned to the main entrance. There a heavy armored glass doors and a protective grid blocked his way. An energy ball and a powerful detonation later there now a hole in it. That triggered the alert-system of the building but Anoth didn't care at all. No sooner had Anoth hit the street through this hole than he discovered a tank from Team Rocket. Another ball of energy later and the tank was nothing more than a slow-burning wreck. Another tank aimed at him and fired. But the grenade did nothing more than explode on the heavy armor and make Anoth stumble a little. Then Anoth answered with another energy ball. This energy ball hit the tank exactly frontal and penetrated and then detonated internally so that the tower was thrown from the tank and came to rest next to the main body. Then Anoth began to spit fire on the Rocket soldiers, who tried to do something to him with their guns. Not that that brought them anything. The blue fire he used burned these idiots to ashes and molten metal within seconds at up to 4,500 degrees Celsius.

But before Anoth could take off, he was again attacked by Dialga's signature attack. This time, however, Anoth was able to evade the attack. Still, the explosion almost swept him off his legs. With a powerful flapping of his wings, Anoth was back in the air and began to cover Giovanni with dozens of energy balls. These, however, were different than the normal energy balls. They still exploded on impact but now they exploded too as soon as a certain flight time was reached. In fact, Anoth was hitting Giovanni with a form of flak fire. Giovanni had problems staying in the air when energy balls exploded around him and made it almost impossible to fly. He had only one option and so Giovanni once again used Shadow Force. Seconds later he was gone.

Damn coward!

Then he felt it. A short impulse. Just like the first time he showed up behind him.

Not this time!

Anoth spun so fast on his own axis that Giovanni had no chance at all to react when he was hit by the flat side of the blade, which sat at the tail end of Anoth's longest tail, and was thrown into a skyscraper. Anoth wasted no time in sending Giovanni an energy blast that brought down the skyscraper above him.

Anoth knew that would not be enough to kill him. And he was right. Because only seconds later a hyper beam was sent to him. Closely followed by a Spacial Rend attack. Anoth could avoid both of them. Only then to be attacked again from behind and even plunged into one of the skyscrapers. Giovanni could not be happy about his small victory for long. Anoth was only slightly dazed by the impact. But that disappeared quickly and hardly had that happened Anoth answered with a beam of energy that Giovanni could just dodge. The beam, however, shot on and hit the skyscraper behind Giovanni and drilled a hole right through it. Then Anoth shot out of the hole and started clawing at Giovanni who now had a lot of problem avoiding the blows. But then Anoth got him to pack with scorpion scissors. Anoth waste no time and fired a beam of energy Giovanni directly in the face. At the same time he released him with his scorpion claws. The result was that Giovanni, driven by the energy beam, crashed at high speed into the refinery of Virbank City. The Virbank Works. The ensuing explosion tore up one of the tanks and set the entire refinery on fire.

Now the fight continued in the burning refinery. Anoth had robbed Giovanni of his flying ability. He could not leave. The fire, however, had activated the factory siren and the fire alarm was clearly audible. If there were still workers in the factory, they would be on the run. Anoth completely ignored the alarm and now clawed at Giovanni who evaded and fired a Roar Of Time attack. But as he was hit by a blow shortly before he could fire it, the jet hit another tank and the fire increased. Meanwhile, more and more explosions occurred in the factory. Burning oil and fuel spilled into the sea and set the water on fire. Heavy black clouds of smoke now rose over the entire complex. And again and again explosions shook the terrain.

In the middle of the inferno, the fight continued unabated. The fight had been raging for several minutes now. Then Anoth saw an opening in Giovanni's defense and used it. The first blow cut his throat. The second blow cut his neck and the third hit finally separated his head from the rest of his malformed body.

"So Giovanni's dream is to rule the world, ended literally in flames." Burning oil flowed to Giovanni's body and only a short time later it the flames began to consume it. "It's over." Anoth turned and walked out of the burning refinery. He too was not completely unhurt. His right wings were so heavily damaged that they hung limp on the floor and Anoth dragged them behind him while he walked. His armor had been broken at various points and he was bleeding from various wounds all over his body. When he left the refinery, a bright white ball formed behind him. Then a new explosion shook the refinery. That was the last energy in Giovanni, who that was now making its way out. That was because when Anoth made Giovanni a head shorter. Giovanni was about to fire a Roar Of Time attack. Only he could not fire it anymore. The energy he had gathered had to go somewhere. The explosion, as well as the fire would ensure that nothing remained of Giovanni. A fitting end.

Anoth came out of the sea of flames and looked at the city. The last battles within the city came to a close now. Most Rockets had thrown away their weapons and surrendered when they saw that they were surrounded. There were only a few who fought on. Most of them were fanatical followers. None of them would see the next day. The war was over. Team Rocket was history.

At the end of the day, the last resistance nest was dug out and the fighting came to an end.

Anoth and Kumiko reunited at the end of the day in the Pokémon Center, which had remained virtually untouched by the fighting. both were treated by the other three. Anoth because of the wounds he had taken in the fight against Giovanni and Kumiko because she had been pierced by a very strong hyper-beam combination.

The fire in the refinery could only be completely extinguished after almost a week. It should take another two weeks before they could walk freely around the rubble that once was the refinery. What they found of Giovanni was little more than a charred skeleton. The refinery itself was completely destroyed. The city fared much better. Of the many skyscrapers, only three were completely destroyed. Another six would probably have to be demolished. In the suburbs themselves, the destruction rate was around 50%. Due to the successful evacuation, however, civilian casualties were hardly to be lamented.

Almost 22,000 Rockets were killed by the now well-known nearly 25,000 Heads Strong Army Team that Rocket had used in the attack. The rest was wounded and / or is in captivity.

Of the 8,000 who defended the city, about half died. And about 1,300 others were wounded.

The two ranger divisions that were sent had few casualties to complain about. Only about 200 died in the operation.

Almost a month later, the Ghost Division was officially disbanded.

The data they got from the captured Harddrives was very useful in finding the last of the Team Rocket hiding holes.

There job was complete.

Well over two months after the fight in Virbank and Giovanni's demise, Anoth, Konoko, Kumiko, Kagami and Mitara stood in the hall of the beginning. Arceus had invited her to talk to each other a little more before they set off to another dimension. or more precisely, back to their home dimension. With her was also Ash Ketchum, who had fully recovered from his little adventures in the Team Rocket research base. But someone else was there. And that someone was about to run Anoth over. Just to give him a facial wash right after that.

"Yes, I'm glad to see you again, too." Anoth said trying to escape from the face wash.

Kat was the Suicune princess. She was the one representing the Suicune in the Council. It basically looked like any other Suicune, except that the crown of this Suicune was clad with crystal. After she did not stop even after several attempts, he began to tickle her.

"Hey!" she exclaimed between her laughter. "That's unfair!"

"I think that's pretty fair." Anoth reached for one of her front paws and started to tickle her between the bales, a place he knew she was very ticklish about.

"I give!" she called out, and it was rather fragmentary between her laughter. She was trying to pull her paw away all the time. Without success. but finally she did. But only because Anoth's vice grip loosened. When she managed to free her paw, she needed a little bit time to control her laugh and to calm her breathing. Anoth, however, thought back to the time when he had met her. At the time, she was not a princess, and he had not been in the Pokémon world for very long.

Flashback

#################################################################

.

Anoth had arrived in the Pokémon world a few weeks ago. So far, he knew very little about this world, so he let his curiosity guide him. Something that every Seraphim, whether Drago-Seraphim or ordinary seraphim, shared. An almost unquenchable curiosity.

At the moment he was traveling as a fire elemental wolf. He had assumed a shoulder height of about 10m. With a wingspan of a total of good 80m, he was really not exactly small. He was practicing contour flight. He flew at high speed as close to the ground as he could. And Anoth was now in the middle of the mountains. What he was not expecting on this flight, was to suddenly been hit by a strong gust of wind that was so strong that he was pressed into the rock face. The result was predictable.

Anoth's left side was pressed into the rocks. In the conclusion his left wing broke and Anoth made a very unpleasant crash-landing that every crash pilot would be proud of. At the end of it he remained lying on the edge of a mountain lake.

"Shit, what was that?" Anoth groaned. It was not until much later that he found out that it was a Pokémon that he had scared and that had used a Gust Attack.

Now Anoth lay with broken left wings on the shore of the lake and was hardly able to move. That was due to the big wound on his side, which now slowly turned the water into black. This was because the nanites destroyed the escaping blood. Through this process, the blood became black.

At the same time a Suicune was not far away from him. She made her usual route through the mountain lakes, using her skills to keep the waters crystal clear. Something she was very proud of. When she got to the nearest lake, she stopped. There was something in the lake. There was a black substance in it.

What the... ?!

She examined it more closely. But even after she had looked at it more closely she could not make out what it was. So she started looking for the source.

Meanwhile, Anoth used his tentacles to bring his broken wings back to the right place, using the soul energy in the Black Sun to heal his wound as fast as possible. A pretty painful process. But necessary. Anoth was no longer directly on the shore but some way away on a meadow with lots of sunshine. Exactly this he used as an additional energy boost to accelerate the healing in addition. To achieve this, his right, intact wings now worked like solar panels.

He heard a loud cracking sound as one of his wings jumped back into place and the bone began to heal. The wound at his side was long gone and had stopped bleeding. He repeated this with the other two wings. But before the last wing jumped back into position, he heard a voice that sounded pretty mad.

"Who was that?" the voice growled. "Who has messed up my waters?" Anoth let his wing snap into position. That caused a cracking sound, of course. Which heard also the source of the voice. "Come out and show yourself, I know you're there!" The voice was clearly female.

When Anoth got up and showed himself, the Suicune did not believe her eyes. in front of her was a huge red-black wolf with three enormous pairs of wings in the shape of half-feathered, half-skinned wings. He had a tail that was several times as long as his body. On the end of the tail were very long and very sharp spikes. The spikes on his back ran from his head down his spine to the tip of his tail. On his head was a long horn in the middle of his forehead that made him look a bit like a Rapidash. While on both sides of the head, two very thick curly horns sat. He was a Seraphimian Firewolf. But what struck her most was his size. He was as tall as a family home.

With a shoulder height of about 10 meter , he was five times as tall as her and also three times as tall as Arceus himself. Suddenly the Suicune felt very small. His mouth was big enough to devour her with a single bite.

"Um ... I ... I ... er ..." she took several steps back, her eyes wide with fear, and had to fight with herself to avoid running away.

"You wanted to know who polluted the lake." That was more a statement than a question.

The Suicune could only nod.

"Well, that was me." Anoth admitted as he lay down on his stomach in front of her. He did not seem so tall for her anymore. Which made sure that the Suicune relaxed a little before him. But she was still wary. "I crashed here when a gust of wind forced me into the rock face." With these words he pointed to the spot where he came to rest.

Yes, that makes sense. Thought the Suicune, as she looked at the tracks for which she had no explanation for before. There was simply no Pokémon big enough to make those tracks. With the exception of one. But that lived in the ocean and not on land. Wait a minute, did he say he was injured?

Her eyes fell back to Anoth. She looked closely at the wings on his left side and could still see the remains of the blood, as well as in his fur. He had not lied. But this fact raised another question. Why was his blood black? That's exactly what she asked him. After she managed to pull herself together to ask the question at all.

"That's because my blood decomposes as it exits my body." Technically, not necessarily a lie, but not quite the truth either. It was the nanites that cut the blood apart. It did not decompose by itself. Anoth raised his tail and held its tip in the water. Now something happened that made sure that the Suicune looked surprised towards the lake. The whole lake began to glow in an unnatural light, and as the light disappeared no trace of the black matter was found. Also the beach was cleaned. Every single track was gone. This action made sure that they talked for a long time. In the end, the Suicune was right back between Anoth's front legs, where she had fallen asleep. The night went quiet. But the next morning the two expected an unpleasant surprise. Anoth had risen to look for a few berries when they came.

Pokémon poachers.

"Hey Joe, how much would we get for those?"

"For the fur of a Suicune, some tens of thousands will do."

Poachers. Not only could Anoth hear the shot and smell the blood, but he could hear what they said with his fine ears.

Oh no.

Immediately he set off again. As he neared the edge of the forest, he already knew what he was dealing with. Four poachers approached a luckily only wounded Suicune. It was exactly this Suicune that was the first to experience what happens when a Seraphimian Firewolf becomes angry.

One of the poachers was again aiming his rifle at the Suicune lying bleeding on the ground. He was about to fire when Anoth broke out of the forest. What the four poachers got to see could have come from a horror movie. A massive wolf-like creature wrapped in flames and thick black smoke raced out of the forest. Before they had time to react, the gun wearing poacher was already in its maw. A second later he was burned to ashes by a massive flamethrower. Just like another one of the poachers who had the misfortune to stand in the way of said flamethrower. The other two, however were trying to run away to escape. Against a being that was significantly faster than them it was an effort that was doomed to fail. The first of them was simply pounded in the ground by Anoth while the last one was grabbed by Anoth's mouth, thrown into the air, only to be reduced to ashes with the help of a fireball. As soon as that had happened, he also burned the remnants of the one he had trampled into the ground into ashes. Later, it should turn out that these four poachers have been searched by the police for a long time. What bad luck. Because their remains would never be found by anyone.

But now, Anoth had something more important to do than worry about than the ashes of a few worthless poachers that were carried away by the wind. Anoth ran back to the Suicune. As he began to examine her, he realized that her injury was worse than expected. The bullet had pierced her lungs and she was coughing up blood. Anoth took on his human form. The only indication that the Suicune saw this was that her eyes widened in surprise.

Anoth knelt beside her and put his hand on the wound. Then he began to mumble something in a language she did not understand. The effect was clear. Her breathing became calmer and deeper as her lungs began to heal and the blood disappeared from places in her lungs where it didn't belong. Whatever he did it was far more effective than the healing abilities possessed by the Pokémon. Only a little time later there was not much left of the wound, except a coat soiled with blood.

The wound was closed, but the Suicune was unconscious. A quick check just to be on the safe side confirmed that she was out of danger. But he could not just leave her here. So Anoth resumed the form of a Seraphimian Firewolf, gently taking the Suicune in his massive maw and carried her to a cave he had seen while he searched for berries. Anoth knew she would feel at least pain for at least the next two days. The wound was closed. But the nerves and flesh were still irritated.

That would be no problem for Anoth if he knew more about this species. But that would come with time. At the moment, a few pains were by far better than being dead. Carefully, he deposited her on the floor of the fortunately uninhabited cave and went out again, transformed back into his human form, and returned minutes later with a load of firewood. A short burst of flame later and Anoth had a roaring fire in the cave. It was going slowly but surely dark. And with the darkness came the cold. But he did not need the fire to warm the cave, he could do that enough as a Firewolf. He needed the fire to brew a small potion that would help her get back on her paws a little faster. He knew enough of her through the healing spell that had applied to her to know that this potion would help her. Anoth opened his storage dimension and brought out there a rack for the kettle, the kettle itself and the necessary ingredients. Added to some berries that further enhanced the effect of the drink. And a herb which he collected during a short visit to another parallel world. This had proven to be a true universal herb over time and was used in almost every potion. Above all, however, with medicinal potions of all kinds. Anoth had several massive greenhouses at home full of the herb, where he bred it.

Less than half an hour later, the potion was ready-made. This potion was one of the simplest potions to brew. But while Anoth was about to infuse this potion into the Suicune with the help of a hose, Kira, the green Alicorn, was still brewing several more cans of the potion. He never knew when he would need it. It was better to have some of it in stock under stasis. An hour later and Kira was done with the brew and was now about to remove the fireplace. Meanwhile, Anoth had made some warm water and had cleaned the fur of the Suicune from the encrusted blood. A short time later, Anoth lay his Firewolf form in the cave. And Kira lay under one of his wings. The Suicune among the other Shadowbeasts. No one had to freeze that night.

The next morning, the Suicune was awakened by Anoth. Who was in its human form, and had sat down on a rock at the cave entrance and brought out his panpipe on which he now played.

"What is there for a melody?" asked the Suicune when he was done playing.

"Conquest of Paradise, that's the title." Anoth answered.

"Since when have you started playing?"

"For a very long time." Anoth answered. "I change instruments every now and then: sometimes guitar, sometimes panpipe, then piano or even an organ, only the last two are too big to take on a trip."

"I can imagine that."

"How are you?"

"Better." said the Suicune and sat down next to Anoth. "The wound hurts a bit, but nothing unbearable."

"It'll do that for a little while longer, but it should go away soon."

That was the beginning of a very long friendship. As for the police. They declared the poachers dead a few years later. They never found out what has happened to them.

End of the flashback

.

Anoth was not expecting another surprise. The Absol, who was saved by both Absidian and Absidronan, was here. Including her two little ones.

"Who are you bringing with you?"

"We found her in a cave at the time of the battle, more precisely, before the cave." Answered Galeyna, the Absidronan. "I prevented a flying cannon from crushing it below."

"And why is she now here?" Anoth asked as he glanced over at Absol, who now sat on the floor with the two boys to the right and left of her. 'Do not tell me now that they want what I think they want.'

'But that's exactly what it is.' Answer Absidronan telepathically. "They asked me, or better, if they could accompany us."

"And why?"

"Um ..." Anoth's eyes fell on the Absol and then on the Absidronan. She just grinned at him in response to the silent question. "I would like to answer this question myself." she looked a little shy.

"Go ahead." said Anoth.

"My partner disappeared some time ago when he wanted to hunt, and since then I have not heard from him, I'm trying to somehow get my two little ones through, but the factor that one of them is an so called shiny does not make it any easier."

Anoth looked at the two little ones. And indeed. One of the two small had a slightly reddish tint on the face than normal and also the coat was slightly reddish colored. However, he was really very weak. He could already guess what that was all about. And if that was true, that explained why they looked slightly malnourished. Shiny Pokémon are often considered by the other, normal-colored Pokémon, as a bad omen. A superstition that Arceus had fought for a long time, but unfortunately was very hard to eradicate. There were not many of them, but they still existed. And the largest concentration of them was in the region of Unova. There was also a cult there, that Anoth had dug out two years before the war, when he was on a ruin exploration. They called themselves the "Black Triangle". A cult that loved to sacrifice shiny Pokémon in there crazy rituals. Luckily it the cult was completely wiped out. But Anoth had a strange feeling in his stomach.

"Was your partner a shiny Absol?" Anoth had to ask the question. The feeling just did not let him go.

"Yes." confirmed the other Absol and then continued with her story. "Nearby there were several more Absol. When he saw me one day with my two little ones playing outside, he called out something about freaks and just attacked, not me, but he just went for my little one. I could stop him but he told me straight away that next time he would kill not only her but all three of us, after the encounter we were looking for another cave and since then I hardly dare to leave the little ones alone I'm afraid he'll find us again. " She wanted to continue. But she was stopped by Anoth, who put a hand on her head.

"I know what you mean, that damned superstition makes your life hell."

"That's not all, there were other Pokémon in our other den that were after us, and two weeks after we hid there, I saw guys with the weird habit wearing a chain with black triangles. " This effectively brought the alarm bells ringing with Anoth.

"When was it?" that was Kumiko's question.

"My partner disappeared about 3 months ago and where I saw these strange guys that was about 2 months ago."

"I ran into them over six weeks ago, I think it's needless to say that this cell of the cult no longer exists and as far as your husband is concerned ..." Kumiko paused. "There is no easy way to express it, he is dead."

The Absol let their heads sink. "I knew it." She whispered so softly that only Anoth could hear it. "I felt it." She began to cry softly and was hugged by Anoth. "I do not want to lose my little one too."

"Calm down, calm down." Anoth tried to calm her. "You will not lose them."

It took a few minutes before she calmed down. The Suicune princess had also joined and helped Anoth to comfort her.

"Do you mean that, you help us?"

"Yes."

"Can I go with you?" That came in this case from the Suicune princess.

"Do you not have duties here?" Anoth asked. But this time it was Arceus who answered him.

"No. Not anymore. I have decided to give my title to another Suicune."

"Are you sure you want that?" Anoth asked the Suicune again.

"Yes." she answered.

"Well." Anoth was beaten. She had that look, and Anoth knew that any discussion was pointless. She had decided for a long time.

"When do you want to go?" that was Arceus's question.

"In a few hours." was Anoth's answer. "First, I have a few more Shadowbeasts to record." That made the Suicune as well as the Absol and her two small grins. Shira and Ari, the two Reshiram, had been taken for a long time.

There were several other topics discussed. Including who was to become the new Suicune princess. Kat's answer to the question surprised Anoth. She had passed the title to a shiny Suicune. The daughter of the Guardian of Crown City who was too a shiny Suicune.

The transfer of the title was very easy. The two Suicune held their crowns together and finally said only that one gave up the title and the other took this title. That was it.

A few hours later and they were in front of one of the many entrances to the hall of the beginning and Anoth could count the Suicune and the Absol trio to his Shadowbeasts. The hall had an entrance in every region. That made it easier to reach all of them.

"We will continue to fight against this superstition." confirmed the new Suicune princess. "I will not let him take root here again."

"It's time for us to go." said Anoth.

"Have a good trip."

"Take care of yourselves."

"We will."

With these words, Anoth took his Drago-Seraphim form and took off to join the others, who were already circling in the air, waiting for him.

'We can go.' confirmed Mitara once again.

'Let's go then.' With that, energy gathered in Anoth's mouth. Which he shortly afterwards shot out into a beam. The beam opened a portal in the middle of the air. The edges of the portal shone in all sorts of colors and they also began to fly right through it. After a final round of the assembled Pokémon Anoth also flew through the portal which closed behind him again. The Drago-Seraphim had left the Pokémon world again.

.

Seraphimia

Home planet of the Drago-Seraphim and seat of government

Talaéako dimension; Sigma Librae Galaxy; Zeta Arcturus system; Zeta Arcturus VI

.

Seraphimia. Homeworld of the Drago-Seraphim and seat of government of the Seraphimian Alliance. Enclosed in an enormous Dyson sphere, this planet was one of the few remaining in the system. There were 14 of these huge constructs in the galaxy that the Seraphimian Alliance had build.

The planet itself, along with its four moons, has been circling around a sun that has not been his for a long time. This sun was artificial. The planet itself was about 25% larger than Earth. On this planet, which was not so unlike Earth, was the palace. Anoth's residence, which he rarely visits. Anoth was in this case returning to it because he had jumped from here to the Pokémon world. At the beginning, just to make holiday there. Now he was back. And was received by someone he did not really want to see at the moment.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!" That was the voice of Miana. She was in command of Anoth's personal bodyguard. She was also a Drago-Seraphim and in the moment quite bad-tempered. She stood in front of Anoth in her human form, who stood at a height of 10m above her in his beast. And yet she managed to make Anoth jump.

"What's up, you know I'm on vacation, right?"

"Were."

"Were?"

"Yes, your vacation ended one minute ago." she grinned.

"Ha ha very funny." Anoth said, not only rolling his eyes, but also taking on his Human form. "Seriously, now, why does the council want to see me?" Anoth is already working with her for too long not to see that.

Anoth expected a long day at work.

The council itself consisted of representatives of the colonies as well as various races, which were united in the Seraphimian Alliance. Each of the council members had their own gondola, which could fly into the middle of the hall with anti-gravity technology. The ruler himself was sitting in his own larger gondola right in the middle of the hall. That was Anoth's place. All day the council met. Various things were discussed. But like every Council meeting, it eventually came to an end.

One result of the session was worth mentioning. Anoth himself handed over control of the council to Mitara, Konoko, Kagami and Kumiko so he himself could leave for the Avalon galaxy. Should important council sessions take place, Anoth would be connected by hologram.

But when the council learned the reason for leaving for the Avalon galaxy, they insisted that Anoth take the Camelot, including its escort fleet. The Camelot was a huge city ship in the shape of a snowflake with a diameter of over 900km. But that was not all. They also insisted that Anoth take a tank world with them. A tank world was a construct the size of a planet. A miniature Dyson sphere with an artificial sun in the middle. Diameter: about 12,000km.

However much Anoth tried to refuse and only take a scout fleet, the council members insisted on it. In the end, Anoth gave way. Well something positive already had it. He should take her to the galaxy. But then he could decide which ship he would go on. It did not have to mean, however, that Anoth liked the way they had screwed him up. But the council had decided and he had finally agreed. Now he had to live with it.

"And how did it go?" Kagami asked when he was back.

"You already know that." Anoth answered wearily and dropped onto the sofa.

"When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow."

"BUT NOT WITHOUT ME!"

Oh dear.

"I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR YUR SAFETY! HOW SHOULD I DO MY JOB IF AIM NOT WITH YOU ?!"

"Do you really have to yell like that, Miana?" Anoth asked, rubbing his now ringing ears.

"You do not seem to hear me otherwise." she stood before him with folded arms.

"Do I have any say in this?" The answer to the question came in chorus.

"NO!"

Anoth was beaten and he knew it. The rest of the night was quiet. Even though sleeping was not the main occupation.

Anoth was on the bridge of the Camelot the next morning, having said goodbye to Konoko, Kagami, Kumiko, and Mitara. The Camelot bridge was built like the command center of an Alteran cityship. Only much bigger. Anoth was sitting in the main control chair at the back of the bridge. In front of him was a holographic map of the galaxy on which he was planning the route.

From the Sigma Librae galaxy to the Avalon galaxy, it was a good 18 million light years. These would cover them at a speed of about 40 LY/s (Light Years per second). This meant a hyperspace transit time of about 125 hours or 5 days and 5 hours .The Seraphimian ships could fly faster if they wanted but 40 LY/s was regular cruising speed for them. At the moment they were still within the Dyson sphere. And Anoth waited for the last ship in the fleet to join them. Only then would he start. A few minutes later, it was time.

"All ships in full and report green." That came from the ship AI of the Camelot . Her name was Sivath and her avatar was a dragon.

"Good." said Anoth. "All ships should get ready to leave the Dyson Sphere."

"Fleet confirmed."

"Set Course on Opening 18B." Opening 18B was one of only four openings in the Dyson sphere, large enough for a tank world to pass. A few minutes later, the ships had reached the opening and Anoth could see in the holographic monitors, as the gate opened like an iris, which closed the 20,000 km diameter hole. Since the bridge of the cityship was deep inside the ship itself, there was no direct view outside. That was the same with all Seraphim ships. The view into space was made exclusively by holographic monitors.

"All ships have passed the opening."

"Very good." The monitors showed how the iris closed behind them. "Prepare for hyperspace."

"Jump in 5 ...

"4 ...

"3 ...

"2 ...

"1...

"Jump!" in front of the fleet large blue portals opened. shortly thereafter, the ships had disappeared inside. Anoth raised the control chair to its upright position and stood up.

"Captain Whitefang, I'm giving you the command."

"Understood. Taking command." confirmed Captain Whitefang. He was an older seraph. He now took place in the control chair that Anoth had vacated a few seconds before.

"I'm in my quarters." With these words Anoth left the bridge and went to the next transporter. A flash of light later and Anoth left the van at the entrance to his private quarters. Behind him, the van went again. Anoth did not have to turn around to know who that was. So he went on undeterred.

"You are pondering about something."

"Yes, Miana, I do." said Anoth.

"You're wondering why the council gave you such a big fleet." That was more a statement than a question.

"Yes, why did they give me enough ships and personnel to lead a war all on my own?" Anoth reached the entrance to his private chambers. The two guards outside the door saluted and stepped aside, and Anoth, followed by Miana, entered.

"They probably just want to make sure that if you get into trouble this time, you have the right means to deal with them."

"Just to make that clear, I'm not looking for trouble, it's looking for me."

"Yeah, just tell it to yourself."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Every time you're traveling somewhere, you're meeting someone on your path you are ultimately going to wage a war against."

"It's not that bad."

"It's that bad!" They had reached the living room. "Who is that?" Miana asked when she noticed the Anthromorphic Liepard Lady, who had been lying down on one of the very comfy-looking sofas and was asleep and completely naked. Anoth and his Shadowbeasts had a simple rule in this respect. If they were among themselves they could walk around as they liked. Whether with or without textiles, Anoth did not care. But when they were out in public, clothing was a must. At least if they were traveling in Anthromorphic or human form.

"That's Lana." said Anoth. "She was the first Pokémon I caught then, and after a few years she became one of the Shadow Eggs, along with her friend Lena." Anoth walked over to the sofa and tried to wake Lana. His only answer to that was that she turned and kept her sleep. Now she turned her back on him. For a short while Anoth thought of poking her with his sharp claws in her ass. Just to remember what happened last time. Since he had no desire to serve as scratching post substitute, he instead began to stroke her over her back. It also had the effect of waking her up and sitting up once she had yawned and stretched.

"Did you have to wake me up?" She sounded completely sleepy.

"Why were you even on the sofa?"

"Lena and I have been training, Lena is in the shower and I ... I'm down here." she added meekly.

"Well, the bath is free, you ..." Anoth did not get any further, because she had already disappeared in the bathroom. Anoth just shook his head in amusement.

"Interesting girl."

"And a very good fighter." said Anoth. "But back to the point." Anoth sat down and activated the holographic projector function of the table. This holographic image now showed the fleet as it was in hyperspace. "Let's go through the ships they gave us." On the side of the holographic picture, a list began to show.

1x tank world: Malaka

1x City Ship: Country Class: Camelot

2x sector ships: Imlara class: Typhoon and Liberator

2x city ships : state class: Aramore and Bredon

1x Grand Battleship: Sovereign Class: Sovereign

10x battleships: Saroya class

1x Gateship

1x star forge

20x dreadnoughts

60x Seraphimian Aurora class

200x frigates of various types

120x cruiser of various types

Total: 419

Various other docked ships. See extended list for details.

"So they gave me 419 ships." said Anoth. "Do they really think that I need a complete military fast reaction fleet for a mission that is not much more than a fact-finding mission right now?"

"They wanted to give you your own fleet."

"Yea. I really need the 45,000 Ships of my Royal Fleet." the sarcasm was palpable.

"Then they thought of a war fleet."

"15,000 Ships? For what? To park them at the first star system we reach?"

"They just wanted to play it safe." Miana said with a shrug.

Anoth sighed. "They gave me enough for an outpost, so I'll build one." Anoth said and changed the picture to the map of the Avalon Galaxy. "The only question is where?"

"I think this would be a fitting place, it was discovered in a sector scan two million years ago." Miana made a few inputs and a sector on the edge of the galaxy was zoomed in. "A class 3 star circled by 2 gas giants and 1 class K planet."

"Class K?" Anoth said thoughtfully. "We could do the Terraforming easily, and hide the tank world as an extra planet, or ..." Anoth took a closer look at the gas giants. They were far bigger than normal. "We could also disguise it as a moon from one of the gas giants."

"That's what I thought too."

"Is one of the gas giants a hot Type?" Anoth wondered as he looked at the hologram of the system and noticed how close one of the gas giants was to its star. "Sivath can you confirm that to me?" The avatar of the AI appeared on the table.

"Confirm, it's a hot Type."

"Very nice, then we also found a place for our refinery." Anoth said and looked again at the list of ships. "Why did they give me a Star Forge?" The Star Forge was essentially a high-capacity shipyard. It used the solar winds constantly expelled from the sun and used the matter for shipbuilding for example. "Does not matter, it remains docked for now in the tank world Malaka until I find a job for it."

"Where did you put the current course?"

"10 minutes outside the Milky Way." Anoth answered. That was about 24,000 light-years. "From there I wanted to send a few probes into the system and only when we get the green light from them we will with the fleet jump into the system."

"What do you expect to find there?"

"Ideally an empty and uninhabited system."

The next five days consisted mainly of planning, practice bouts, training and various other activities. Not a few of them in the bedroom.

Then came the longed-for message.

"We're leaving hyperspace in thirty minutes." That was the voice of the ship AI over the internal speakers.

"Then I'll go to the bridge." said Anoth. Beside him were two Suicune in their human form, still asleep. Only the third was awake.

"So we're here?"

"Yes."

"Get us to the Shadow Plain, I want to go back to sleep." the sleepy voice came from one of the other two. Anoth shrugged and did just that. Grumpy Suicune in the morning only brings you heartache and worry. Therefore, do better what they want.

But now he had another problem. The Khajiit, still cuddling up to him, was not a Shadowbeast but one of his concubines. Anoth had to wake her up somehow without getting scratched. And he already knew how.

That with the Khajiit was an interesting story. Apparently a relatively small group of them had managed to upset one of their Daedric princes so much that he had banished them to another dimension. It was interesting to see a troop of 20 Khajiit clothed and armed with things that were medieval, in the middle of a city where flying cars were commonplace. That was 6,000 years ago.

After realizing that there was no way back for them, they tried to build their lives here. It was interesting to see how fast they succeeded. But the fact was very helpful that they were not treated here as if they were worth less than dirt like they were treated in Skyrim. And as many a biologist had already expressed. They were fertile and multiplied. Today, their numbers went into the billions, spread over several planets. They were to be found in all sections of the population. Doctors, scientists, military, everywhere.

Anoth put his hands to the right and left of the Khajiit on her back and stroked down to her buttocks. when his hands reached the tail root he started to tickle her right there. A spot he knew she was ticklish there. It did not take long and the Khajiit had rolled on her back to escape Anoths, oh so attacking hands. What Anoth greeted was a pouting Khajiit. However, this pout had disappeared quickly after a short morning kiss.

"Why so early?" She stretched in bed. "It's not even 5 o'clock."

"We'll leave hyperspace in about 25 minutes, which means getting up."

"Well then I have to ..." she sounded rather sleepy and had to stretch again, as she sat on the bed edge. A short shared shower, drying each other off and putting on their uniforms later, plus about a five-minute walk and the two had arrived on the bridge. Where Anoth immediately took the direct route to one of the food replicators.

"Black coffee." A short whirring noise later and a steaming cup of coffee stood on the materialization table. Anoth had encountered the coffee bean during his many journeys through the dimensions and had taken her back then. Since then she has begun the triumphal procession across the Seraphimian Empire. "Sivath?"

"We're leaving hyperspace in 2 minutes."

"Very good." Anoth walked over to the holo desk, which was at the back of the command center, and went through the latest reports given to him by the bridge crew on a PDA.

When he saw the results of the fighting games, he could not help but sigh. The reason for this was that he had a bet with one of the bridge crew and now had to realize that he had lost that bet.

He glanced over at the said lieutenant. Who just looked at him with a knowing grin. Anoth merely nodded as a sign that he was keeping his share of the bet.

"Did you bet again?" Sivath's avatar had appeared on the table next to Anoth.

"Don't start."

The next minute was calm.

"Exiting hyperspace in 10 ..." There was a small break.

"5 ...

"4 ...

"3 ...

"2 ...

"1...

"Leaving hyperspace." On the holographic windows the blue color disappeared from hyperspace and the Avalon galaxy became visible.

"Very good, then send the probes off." said Anoth. "You know where."

"Roger that." answered Sivath. "Probes on the way." These probes were the size of a shuttle. 10m long, 5m wide and high. Equipped with hyperspace drive, strong sensors and a cloaking device. If somebody tries to get his paws on this technology they will become very fast very ugly bombs.

"Now let's play the waiting game." The probes took a good hour to cover the 25,000 light-years back to the system. There hyperspace drive was much slower than that of the ships. Meanwhile, Anoth was not idle. He went through various reports and also had to attend a brief meeting in the Council. To participate in these he went to a specially equipped room. He was back on the bridge right ion time to hear that the probes had reached the system and would now start scanning. A few minutes later, the results were available.

Basically, the system had barely changed in the last 2 million years since it was last scanned. The only difference worth mentioning was the wreckage of an old space station abandoned a long time ago, revolving around one of the moons of one of the gas giants. No ships or similar were to be found.

"Then get us into the system."

25 minutes later and the fleet was in the system. And Anoth was immediately busy distributing the ships. The tank world went as promised into orbit around one of the gas giants and mimed there a moon. The city ships themselves went into orbit around the class K planet.

In contrast to what he had planned before, the Star Forge was now used. Although not for the construction of ships, but to provide material for the construction of 6 massive fortress stations and a gate station.

The fortress stations were nearly 2,000 km long and 500km high and wide giants. They were evenly distributed at the edge of the system. They were armed strong enough to stand up to just about anything that stood in their way. Also they would serve as a basis, if a Dyson sphere should be established. In this case, the sphere would be started from the Six Stations to build. Until finally the sphere was completed. Although it was unlikely that it would happen.

The Gatestation was a bit different. It was a mushroom-shaped construct. About 200km high and at the widest point of the upper saucer about 120 km wide. From this station went out two arms. At the end there were two enormous star gates. They had an outer diameter of 30km and an inner diameter of 24km. They served as a Stargate gateway to the other galaxies but also as a trading base. While this was under construction, the Gateship took over its task. Basically, this ship was a 10km long triangular ship with two folding about 5km in diameter gates. These were big enough for most of the civilian ships.

Anoth also commissioned the construction of a dozen Terraforming ships. These had the order to start immediately with the Terraforming procedure for the planet. The whole would take, by the time frame of the Camelot, only a week. Then the class K Planet became a class M. A garden world. Parallel to this, the construction of a planetary defense system began. Orbital and ground-based.

The orbital stations were each about 1,000m long and 400m wide. Armed with plasma weapons as well as high-performance mass accelerators, guns capable of firing a wide variety of projectiles could be set in adjustable speeds of 40km/s up to 99.9% of the speed of light. Added to this were drones, MAC weapons, plasma lances, torpedoes, missiles and pulse weapons of all kinds. They were protected by several shield layers and more than sufficient armor. These stations were the result of a war that devastated several galaxies 4 million years ago.

The guns on the planet's surface were ground-to-space guns. They could fire anything from ion pulse to plasma pulse to simple kinetic projectiles. They were each protected by a shield dome.

To top it off, the colony also had a planetary shield that would be brought online at the time of a Siege. There were also separate shields for each individual settlement.

If that was not already enough, every settlement and town was planned as a disguised fortress. Everywhere could disguised gates be closed and hidden turrets be released. These settlements were very hard nuts to crack.

A month had passed and the gate station was completed and the gate ship back in the Seraphimian galaxy. The fortifications were all but done. The last of the four stations would also be operational in the next 2 days. Terraforming of the planet was complete and a small colony had already formed on it. Every day new settlers were added. Several refineries had started their work and produced fuel for the different fusion reactor types that were used mainly on the civilian ships. A steady stream of civilians came through one gate of the gate station, while another stream left the system through the second gate.

As for the abandoned space station circling one of the moons of the gas giants, it turned out to be the remains of a refinery of an unknown race. However, the station was technologically so far backward and destroyed that the wreck was scrapped on the spot.

Meanwhile, Anoth was aboard the Sovereign and was ready to fly to Terra. With him was Ashiasa, his Khajiit concubine and of course Miana. Ashiasa operated the sensor control while Anoth sat in the control chair. Miana stood at the weapons control console. Shortly after the preparations were completed, the nearly 160km long ship in the hyperspace window disappeared.

The Sovereign was almost 160km long. Its main body, which had a triangular shape, was 160km long and 80km wide at the widest point. Wings were attached to this main body in the back. These two wings were each 100km long. This brought the width of the ship to about 280km. When the ship went into combat mode, the otherwise downward-pointing wings spread out fan-shaped. When he ship was in hyperspace, the wings were swung backwards. This reduced the width from the hyperspace window, but made the ship longer. It came to something over 240km in length.

Anoth's plan was to jump to Terra's system and stop at 10 light-years distance from it, and then scan the system with the long-range sensors. After that, they would jump further to 0.2 light-years, then do the rest of the way with real-space FTL (Warp), finally hiding behind one of the planets. From there with a frigate into orbit. So far the plan. The reason behind it was simple. It was not known how advanced the technology was on Terra. And since they could not use their camouflage systems in hyperspace flight was the risk of being discovered to high. But as plans were, they never really worked out as planned.

The jump to the 10 light year mark worked as planned. But then came the first thing, which was not planned. In this case, more an annoyance.

"Unknown ship located." The voice of the ship AI came only one second after they left hyperspace. The name of the AI was Joker. "We're contacted, audio only."

"Surrender your ship and bow to your God!"

Please what?! With a brief thought, Anoth switched the connection to silent.

"What does he think who he is? Tactical!"

Ashiasa was already analyzing the apparently enemy ship.

"The ship is 700m long, 650m wide and 315m high. Armament consists of simple plasma weapons, with a low energy shield as defense."

We are currently being attacked by a nutshell?

Now the ship AI spoke up. "Not only their shields are useless, the whole ship was built in such a way that the only protection is the shield, armor is practically non-existent."

"That means the ship is built to look good." Anoth summarized. "Danger level?"

"Low to zero." was Joker's answer.

"Tell the boarding units I want to know who or what that is."

"Roger that."

With one thought he opened the channel again. "You are not a god, you have never been a god, and you will never be a god! "

"Jaffa, Krenol!" Came as answer from the so called God. Then the line closed and the ship began to hammer on the shields of the much larger ship without really making a dent. While Anoth's ship was content to hold the much smaller ship with a tractor beam to prevent it from escaping.

The enemy ship launched fighters and bombers too but they were completely ignored. The surviving ships were later teleported to one of the massive empty hangars of the Sovereign. While the pilots and crew found themselves teleported to an arrest cell.

"Looks like I'm getting my fun a little earlier than I thought." Anoth said to herself.

"You do not want to go over there yourself?" Miana asked in disbelief.

"But that's just it. I want to give this self-proclaimed god some kick in his ass."

"But not without me!"

"I have long since given up arguing with you about that." said Anoth."Can we teleport through the shields of the enemy ship?" Since the seraphim used a phase-shifted transporter, only out-of-phase shields were able to ward off transport attempts.

"Positive." Answered Joker.

"Status of the teams?" This question ensured that each team now answered individually.

"Team 1: Ready."

"Team 2: Ready."

"Team 3: Ready."

"Team 4: Ready."

"Team 1 takes over the engine room and prevents them from blowing the ship under our ass, Teams 2, 3 and 4 take care of the crew, and we both take over the bridge. " With these words, both activated their armor and brought their plasma rapid fire weapons out of there storage dimensions.

"Energy." A flash of light and only seconds later they were standing in one of the corridors of the enemy ship.

They came out into a corridor that at first sight reminded Anoth of the corridors in an ancient temple complex. However, a Jaffa patrol had noticed the teleporter sound and immediately began firing at them with their staff weapons. This made sure that both Anoth and Miana dived for cover and returned the fire. Seconds later it was already over.

#What weapons are that? They could not even hit a barn door when they are right in front of it! # Miana said incredulously in the Seraphim language. The Jaffa had hit everything but not there intended target.

Anoth walked over to one of the bodies and kicked one of the staff weapons with his foot and took it in his hand. #With such weapons, that does not surprise me.# He studied the weapon more closely. # You cannot really aim with these weapons. Just fire on good luck. # Anoth opened his storage dimension and threw the staff weapon in it. Then he noticed another weapon. It looked a bit like a snake. #What's that? # He had just picked up the gun when another Jaffa came running from one of the adjacent corridors. Without really thinking about it, Anoth aimed the weapon at the Jaffa and squeezed. Immediately, the Jaffa went down while lightning strikes danced over his body. He could sense that the Jaffa was still alive. He had only been stunned. Out of a gut feeling he shot again. This time, it was clear he was dead. Just to be on the safe side, Anoth struck the Jaffa for the third time and was rewarded with something he had not expected. The Jaffa was completely disintegrated. #Nice! The first shot stuns the target. The second shot kills and the third shot disintegrates the target. Without residue, mind you. I keep that. Could still be useful. #

#New toys? #

#Yes. here take one too.# Anoth gave her another of the snake like looking weapons. #Let us continue. #

It was not long before they reached the bridge. The way there was free from Jaffa. This so-called god must have called everyone to the bridge to protect himself. At least those who were still alive or not involved in fights with the 4 boarding teams.

When Anoth saw the 40 figures guarding the bridge, his grin was positively feral. Because they all were looking in the wrong direction. Before the Jaffa had any chance to react, Anoth was already storming towards them. He had replaced the plasma weapon with his blades, which came out of his hands. The first two men he ran into had just turned to face him, when they were already impaled by Anoth, who was in full swing. Anoth did not stop, instead he just ran on with the two impaled Jaffa and crashed into the wall with them. As soon as he came to a halt there, Anoth grabbed one of them and hurled him into some standing Jaffa, who only now realized that they were attacked. But even before they really had a chance to react, he tore the staff weapon from one of them and swung it as if it was a simple wooden stick.

Miana, however, was not idle either. She had pulled a tetryon pulse pistol and a sword and launched herself at the nearest Jaffa. The blade of the sword cut their staff weapons in two and went through their armor, like a soldering iron through butter. In between, she simply shot down other Jaffa. The last of the Jaffa, who after a few minutes was still alive had shot his head off by Anoth with one of the hijacked staff weapons. Then he simply dropped the staff weapon on the ground and turned to the door, which blocked the access to the bridge beyond.

#The controls are destroyed. # Miana said, looking at the broken console by the door.

#Then we'll break through it. # was Anoth's answer.

Miana opened her own storage dimension and brought out a circular object, which she immediately attached to the door. Then she took cover next to the door. Anoth did the same.

#Ready? # Anoth asked.

#Yes. #

# 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... boom. # With these words, the attached explosive charge went up and tore a huge hole in the door. Two Jaffa just beyond the door were torn from their legs and hurled across the bridge. Before the dust even had a chance to clear, Anoth and Mina stormed onto the bridge with drawn plasma weapons. Before the Jaffa even had the chance to react, they lay dead on the ground. And Anoth's eyes fell on the only remaining figure in the room.

"So you're the chef here." That was more a statement than a question. Anoth looked at the figure standing in front of him and looked at his more outdated clothing.

"I am your God, Amset, you will bow to me!" Amset reached out and fired a kinetic wave at Anoth and Miana. Both were thrown around. However, they landed, much to Amset's horror, on their feet.

"You are not a god!" Anoth shouted, firing lightning at Amset who activated his shield, on which the lightning discharged harmlessly.

"What are you?" Amset asked not so confidently anymore.

"Your worst nightmare." Anoth glanced over at Miana. Both nodded and fired together lightning on the shield. He held this fire for a long time. But then the shield broke and Amset was thrown with full force against the wall behind him. Anoth came over to him, grabbed him by the neck, and held him up so high that Amset's feet were no longer touching the ground. As Amset tried again to hold his handset in Anoth's direction Anoth simply broke his arm and ripped down his handset. "Well ... Now I want to know what you know." Anoth's voice became so dark and powerful in the last three words that it gave Amset the impression that it had come from another being entirely. A much larger and more powerful being. Anoth's eyes changed too. From Anoth's blue eyes, which he currently wore, the blue color took on his entire eye. Also Amset could now recognize a planet with a moon in the eyes of the one who hold him as if he was nothing. In this Situation Amset felt a feeling that he didn't had for a long time. Fear. He tried to free himself, only to find that he could not move an inch anymore.

Anoth dived into the mindset of Amset. He got out a lot. Amset was something that called himself Goa'uld. But he himself was only a very small light in the power structure. He owned a planet a few light-years from Terra. At the moment he was under the control of a Goa'uld named Ra. His fleet consisted of three Ha'tak. They were standing on one of them. The other two were with his planet. One on the ground and one in orbit. Anoth also got out that all Goa'uld enslaved the indigenous population and used them to mine minerals, for example. One of these minerals was Naquada. Anoth also found that Amset was no longer one of those who could be said to have all the cups in the closet. This also explained his absolutely stupid attack on the Sovereign with his nutshell of a ship.

Anoth broke the connection when he saw enough. Immediately after, he broke Amset's neck with a single wave and dropped the body to the ground. It was not long before the symbiont came crawling out of the dead body, only to be crushed under Anoth's shoes.

"So much to that."Anoth said as he turned away from the corpse. "Anoth to all teams, report."

"Here Team 1. Engine room is secured and we are in control of the ship."

"Here team 2. Sector secured."

"Here team 3. Sector secured."

"Here team 4. We have neutralized all enemy contacts."

"Understood. Teams, make sure you have not overlooked anyone, disintegrate the dead bodies of the slain Jaffa, they carry a symbiont that could take you over, and all teams will report to the infirmary after completing the mission." Anoth closed the contact to the teams and contacted the Sovereign. "Beam us back." was everything he said. Seconds later both were back on the bridge. Their armor was cleaned of any blood or other substances during the transport process. Anoth let his armor disappear again and took a seat in the control chair. In front of him appeared the hologram of the Ha'tak, as well as a holo projection of Amset's Planet. With a of thought, he sent a command back to his colony, which should send three of the Seraphimian Auroras to capture and secure Amset's planet and, if possible, capture the two Ha'tak who were with the planets. The presence of the two Ha'tak was confirmed by the long-distance sensors.

The Ha'tak that he already captured would be transported by another ship. Its Hyperspace drive was simply to slow. It would take months until the Ha'tak would have reached the colony if it flew the way with its own FTL drive.

He returned to his main goal. A quick scan of Terra's system revealed a primitive space station orbiting Terra and a host of artificial satellites. But there were no spaceships.

From this Anoth could conclude that the inhabitants of the planet were at the beginning of level 4 in the technological development index. This index had the following levels:

Level 7

Pre Industrial

Basically it means the time of the Middle Ages.

Level 6

Industrial Age

Factories start producing things in large numbers. States have trained.

Level 5

Atomic Age

The inhabitants have learned to use the power of the atom for themselves.

Level 4

Space Age

They have left their planet and have begun to possibly colonize more planets in their solar system.

Level 3

Space Faring

Slipspace, hyperspace or similar drive concepts have been developed. The inhabitants have begun to colonize other solar systems.

Level 2

Interstellar

Their engines have become so powerful that they have learned to reach other galaxies and also colonize them there.

Level 1

world builder

They have learned to build constructs the size of a planet or larger.

Level 0

Transsentient

Traveling through parallel dimensions will be possible. Eventual colonization also there.

.

The Seraphimian Alliance is at Level 0. The Alterans had just started scratching that level. But technically, the Alterans were at Level 2. Starting Level 1. The Seraphimian Empire has no colonies outside its dimension. Although many of the military ships are capable of dimensional leaps. But the civilian ships do not have that drive, and the project with the Dimensional Gate does not work really that well.

"Now that this is done we want to continue." Anoth initiated the hyperspace jump that was over as soon as it started. They travelled the 10 light years of distance in just a quarter of a second. Without the computer, they would have overshot their destination by far. Anoth had just started the warp jump and had activated the stealth systems of the ship, there came the message from Joker.

"Unknown construct discovered in orbit from the sixth planet."

"Unknown construct?" Anoth rapped.

"It looks like a cannon, somehow."

"On the screen." ordered Anoth. There was a station that really resembled a cannon.

"If it's a weapon, it's aiming in the wrong direction." Miana said as she realized that the cannon was so aligned that it would not hit a planet in the system.

"I do not think it's a weapon." said Ashiasa. "My scans suggest that the it is more of a kind of train station."

"A train station? In space?" Anoth asked.

"Yes, this station seems to send out a field that removes all light into a channel built by the station, and I can see some kind of glider in the station."

"Is the station coming from the people of Terra?"

"Negative, I can make signs of life on the station, but they are not human." came Joker's answer.

"Any known species?"

"Negative."

"What is that thing aiming for?"

"On a planetary system in the triangle galaxy."

"Stage of development?"

"After what I see and what the sensors suggest, it would say Level 4."

"We'll go into orbit from the fourth planet first, and then we'll decide what to do." Anoth said after considering for a while.

An hour later they had reached the orbit of the fourth planet. At the moment they were all sitting in the conference room at the table.

"Joker, try to get into the computer systems of the station, but if you encounter a firewall, do not try to hack it or do it in a way that they won't recognize it"

"Roger that."A minute later, Joker answered again. "I was able to get into their systems without breaking the firewalls - they are Vineans - they had to leave their home planet more than 2.4 million years ago when the two suns of their system approached each other and threatened to collide they built ships and send their population in stasis and set out at the speed of light to here, but the ship that came here was only one of several that were sent out. 400,000 years ago, they arrived here and immediately went underground, where they were until a few years ago, most of their population is still in stasis, they have hardly interfered with the humans, so far, I've already uploaded details to your implants, and I've been able to get a translation matrix up and running."

"Very good."

"As for the station itself, it has no armor worth mentioning and is unarmed." The hologram of the station appeared in the middle of the table.

"So what do we do?"

"We could just fly in and then uncloak ourselves." Ashiasa suggested.

"Nice idea, then we will not need any weapons to conquer, because then they all went down with a heart attack already." came Miana's somewhat sarcastic answer. "The station is not even 1,000m long."

"Yes, that would be a bit too much if a 160km long and 280km wide ship would uncloak right under their noses." That came from the regular Captain of the Sovereign, who now spoke for the first time.

"The station would be small enough to use as ammunition for our main guns." Anoth agreed too. "How about one of the frigates or a Seraphimian Aurora class?"

After a short back and forth, the selection fell to a Seraphimian Aurora class. These ships were about 7km long and 2km wide and high. The difference between the Alteran Aurora and the Seraphimian was that instead of a long-range sensor on the side, they had a hangar and were also much better armed. Their shields and armor also withstood a lot more.

.

On the Vinean satellite

.

"Khany, the final preparations for the start are being made in this moment." a voice came over the radio.

"We'll be done here soon. " answered Khany, who was about to prepare one of the survival capsules for the long flight to Vinea. Knowing that they did not know what to expect there. The only thing they knew was that the sister station of this one still existed. Not more .Her thoughts were interrupted by a call. A call that sent a cold shower down her spine.

"Unknown ship discovered 5.000km on port side (left), by the gods ... it's 7km long." Khany dove over to one of the monitors and brought the ship into focus.

"What's up Khany?" Asked Yoko Tsuno.

Yoko's question was answered when a voice sounded through the speakers and she also saw the ship's image on the monitor.

"Unknown space station, here's the Seraphimian cruiser Ravager . Identify yourself." It took a few seconds before an answer came.

"This is the Vinean Spaceglider Harbor, we are preparing an expedition to our home planet, we are not dangerous." The voice sounded ... scared. Khany could have sworn that she had heard a soft "Please do not fire at us."

"Understood, Vinean Spaceglider Harbor, we'll keep an eye on you." With that the ship disguised itself again and was gone.

Through the whole station was a relieved breath.

"I'm sure they'll get in touch again." said Khany. She too was very relieved. "Wait a minute, did he say: Seraphim?"

"Yes, he has." confirmed Yoko, still staring at the monitor, but then turned to Khany.

"Then we will definitely hear from them again, probably a ship of them will be already waiting for us at our destination when we arrive." said Khany.

"How do you mean?"

"We discovered a ruin on Mars during one of our excursions, the technology was so advanced that it went far beyond the minds of our technicians, any attempt by us to reverse them failed, and yet, something did come out of it even a short engraved text that we were able to translate. The Seraphim are a very, very old species that travels space much longer than we do, according to our estimates for at least a billion years. "

"One billion years?" Yoko stared in disbelief at her alien friend.

"Yes, Yoko, they have been to space for a very long time, and according to the text we found, they're known for helping less sophisticated civilizations when they really need the help, their homeland is more than 18 million light-years away. "

"We could use some help." Yoko thoughtfully.

"Back to what we are here for, we get ready."

.

To Anoth

.

Anoth was on the Ravager, and shortly after the very short contact with the Vineans had taken orbit around the planet Terra. The Sovereign , however, remained in orbit around the 4th planet.

Unnoticed by Anoth, two of his Eevee had stolen away and made themselves comfortable in the main computer room. Playful as they were, their game became a small practice fight. The result, however, they had not expected. Both suddenly began to shine and changed their form. But not in one of the known Eevee evolutions. But in a Tekara. The engineering evolution of the Eevee series. A completely new discovery. They had a shoulder height of just 1.2m and were a good 8m long. They looked like machines. At the end of their tail was a 1.5m long serrated blade and an equally long antler at her head. Her body was covered by a pattern that shone continuously in a blue light. They were basically living and walking AIs with enough processing power to reach out to any AI. And it was exactly these AIs that did what they did best. They joined in with the AI of the ship.

Anoth was surprised when he not only saw the gripping Avatar of the ship AI, but also the two Tekara, which materialized in hologram form on the table on the bridge.

"What the ...?" Anoth said. "Zephyr, can you explain that?"

"Two of your Eevee got away from you and found themselves in the computer core, where they both came into direct contact with the radiance of the nucleus, and the two of them got a little rough, which probably triggered the mutation."

"And in what have they evolved?"

"We have become Tekara." one of the Tekara replied.

"Tekara?"

"They have basically became an android with flesh and blood." replied the AI of the ship.

"Interesting."Anoth said and turned to the two Tekara. "So, how should I call you?"

"Keiana." said one.

"Barina." said the other.

"All right, Keiana and Barina, can you and Zephyr help me track down a signal that I've received in the Pokémon world?"

"Small thing." Both answered in unison.

It took several hours for the scanning process to complete and they were able to locate the signal exactly. It came from an island in the northern part of the planet. An island that did not exist 10 million years ago. At that time the now island still had a land connection to the continent. In 10 million years could change a lot. The signal came from a suburb. According to the data and maps drawn from the computers, it was a suburb of London named Surrey. The scans showed that there was a small grove nearby. The ideal point to beam down without anyone seeing the flash of light. Just minutes later, that's exactly what happened. The small clearing in the woods, which was untouched seconds ago, a brief flash of light lit up and Anoth appeared in his Human form. Just to camouflage yourself right away. It was a dark night in the part of the planet where he was staying. and despite the cover of the trees and shrubs, someone could have seen the bright light. So he camouflaged himself to prevent just that. Better safe than sorry.

No sooner had Anoth left the forest than he took his Drago-Seraphim form and approached the most boring road he had ever seen. It looked like you had taken a house. Copied it several times and then simply parked it there. Absolutely barren. How to live here was a mystery to Anoth.

The reason why he transformed was relatively easy to explain.

The signal he was looking for was very weak and something in this area was disturbing it. It made sure that the source of the signal was everywhere and nowhere. Constantly in motion and yet standing still. His human senses were simply not strong enough to find the true source of the signal. All he knew was that it had to be somewhere in this residential area. The signal was the strongest here.

.

At the Dursley home

.

Tonks, as always, stood guard at Privet Drive No.4. It was a boring evening in one of the most boring streets in the world. Why had Dumbledore ordered her to stand guard here? Nothing interesting happened here. Period.

That should change soon.

And again an evening wasted senselessly. Thought Tonks and sighed. Why did I allow myself to be persuaded?

Anoth came up the road in his Drago-Seraphim form with a shoulder height of just under 5m and a total length of 47m. The signal was slowly but surely getting stronger, he could feel that. As he was in inhabited area, he walked slowly and hidden under an invisibility field, up the street. Nevertheless, each of his footsteps sent small tremors through the ground.

Tonks felt the ground shaking beneath her at regular intervals. At first she thought she was just fooling herself. But as this repeated, she looked at the birdbath, which stood barely a meter away from her. And sure enough, when she felt the ground shaking beneath her, the tremors also hit the water. Now she was a little queasy. Something big came up. And it came here. Nervously, she looked around. She could not discover anything. The street looked as calm as ever. And yet ... Then suddenly a crackling noise. And when she looked over to the front yard of the neighbors, the fence was destroyed. Whatever it was, it was here. And it was big. She could hear it breathing.

What's this...? Anoth sniffed a few times. I smell blood ? Anoth opened his mouth and let his tongue come out, working a lot like a snake. After a few licks he was sure. That's a blood protection. But very weak. Just before collapsing. But there is something else. I can also smell fresh blood. And I'm not alone here.

Tonks's heart pounded wildly. She was shaking all over. She could not see the beast, but she could feel and hear that it was only a few yards away. And despite the invisibility cloak she was under, she felt as if the beast could see her. That thought made her shake.

Anoth's eyes now lay on a camouflaged figure in the front yard. Although, camouflage was certainly far-fetched. To the naked eye, the figure was Invisible, yes. But even if you could see or feel heat signatures and signs of life, this camouflage did not really help. It was also possible for Anoth to perceive the magic signature of the one who thought he was hiding there.

A shape shifter? Anoth analyzed the aura more closely. Yes, a shape shifter. If only on a limited scale.

Anoth turned back to the house. He could hear muffled screams that sounded outside. And he could smell more blood. Drago-seraphim blood. Fresh Drago-Seraphim blood.

.

.

.

I think, here I end the chapter.

In the next chapter: A fight with the scum who calls themselves Dursleys. And Anoth takes Harry and Tonks with him.
