"What in the?" Wally said in shock as Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres flew overhead, firing elemental attacks at Jessie from all directions.
"Wally! Brendan! You guys are alive!" Flannery said, rushing up to the two.
"Flannery? What are you doing here? And why are the legendary birds here?" Brendan asked.
"Hi Brendan, green haired guy." Mikey said, rolling in for a landing as Rayquaza shot past, striking Jessie into the air.
"Seriously, you know my name!" Wally exclaimed.
"No, I don't think we've met before." Mikey said.
"I feel like we have." Wally admitted.
"Guys, focus. What are you doing here?" Brendan asked.
"We came to help." Flannery said.
"Yeah but where is Ash then?" Wally asked, having connected the dots.
Halfway to six island
"Come on Lapras!" Ash said, hanging on for dear life. "We need to get there faster." Ash said as another tidal wave crashed down on them.
Back at Seven Island
"No matter, we can't wait for him. We think Jessie wants Ash's power for herself, but we aren't sure why." Brendan said.
"But who's the other person she wants then?" Mikey asked.
"What do you mean other person?" Brendan asked, ducking from some debris.
"We heard there are two powers she's going for." Flannery said. "If Ash and the primal force is one, then whats the other? Kyogre?"
"No, she already has Kyogre." Brendan said. "Look out!"
"FATHER WE KNOW YOU ARE HERE!" Jessie roared.
"Father?" Wally asked.
"Wait, if she has Kyogre and Ash has Groudon…". Mikey said. "SKYDIOS RUN!"
The group leapt out from the rubble to see Jessie absorbing massive amounts of green energy from Rayquaza as the sky serpent went limp.
"Magmortar stop her with Fire Blast! Camerupt use Eruption! Houndoom use Dark Pulse!" Flannery called out.
"Swampert use Hydro Cannon! Shiftry use Leaf Storm! Aggron use Double Edge! Rhyperior use Aqua Tail! Hypno use Headbutt! Pinsir use Superpower!" Brendan commanded.
"Gallade use Psycho Cut! Flygon use Sand Tomb! Cacturne use Needle Arm! Farfetch'd use Poison Jab! Quagsire use Waterfall! Scyther use Cut!" Wally shouted.
"Articuno use Ice Beam! Zapdos use Thunderbolt! Moltres use Flamethrower!" Mikey called out.
The attacks collided in a massive explosion with smoke shooting high into the air in a pillar.
"Did that do it?" Wally asked.
"GRAHHH!" Jessie screamed as she broke free, tossing the drained Rayquaza aside, no longer even standing on the decimated island.
"Jessie." James said in fear at the monster that was once his trusted partner and friend.
"Mrow." Meowth said in terror.
"GET THEM YOU FOOLS!" Jessie called out.
"I can't this isn't our way!" James said in tears. "You wanted so badly to be the villain, but look at you, this isn't you anymore! You aren't even human!"
"WE WERE NEVER HUMAN! THIS FORM IS FOR US TO FEED SOON WE WILL BE FREE ONCE MORE!" Jessie said angrily, her voice taking several tones at once.
"James! Meowth! What's going on?!" Jessie called out, her voice returning for but a moment.
"SILENCE!" Various voices screamed, regaining control. "FATHER IS HERE BUT WHERE IS SISTER!"
"Mikey you need to run." Wally said.
"But Skydios…". Mikey said in sadness.
"Isn't her target. Ash absorbed the red orb, that's why he has the primal force of Groudon. Jessie absorbed the blue orb, that's why she's making the storm. You absorbed the artificial green orb, that's why Skydios, err Rayquaza listened to you." Wally said. "She doesn't want him, she needs you. Go get Ash and run. Run to Hoenn if you need to but get out of here."
"I can't leave you guys like this." Mikey said.
"I don't think you'll have a choice soon." Brendan said, as the building they were hiding behind was ripped out of the ground.
"RUN!" Flannery shouted, as the building came crashing towards them.
The four trainers did their best to run, only to be grabbed out of the way in an instant.
"Ash!" Brendan shouted, feeling the tendrils loosen up.
"Looks like I made it just in time." Ash said.
"How'd you get here?" Brendan asked.
"I got help from an old friend." Ash said. "Is that Jessie?"
"Yeah, look she's absorbing power, and we think you and Mikey are next on her list. She already took the aura powers of three others, plus Brendan's magic." Wally said.
"I don't know, the right pair of pants and he might still have some magic." Mikey said.
"Not the time." Ash said. "What do you mean absorbing powers?" Ash asked.
"Look at Rayquaza." Brendan said, pointing at the decrepit form of the legendary.
"Oh, then I really shouldn't have brought more help." Ash said. "I need to get back to that. Lucario I need a distraction."
"Wait when did Lucario get here?" Flannery asked.
"I have been keeping Jessica distracted for a while now while you have been regrouping." Lucario said. "I would appreciate some more help."
"Yeah, let's go. Swampert do you still have some fight left?" Brendan asked, as his started nodded excitedly.
"Let's do this Gallade." Wally said.
"To the end, lets go Blaziken."
"Air Bud it's now or never."
The four trainers ran into the open area, as lines began growing down Mikey's arms.
"Umm guys, something's happening." Mikey said.
"FATHER!" Jessie screamed.
"Not a dad, but you'll be crying uncle when I'm done with you!" Ash said, launching a large tendril whip at Jessie.
"SISSSTER!" Jessie groaned.
"What is Ash standing on?" Wally asked.
"It can't be, how'd it get all the way here?" Brendan asked.
"WE NEED YOUR POWER!" Jessie screamed, opening a vortex to pull Ash in.
"It's not your power to take!" Ash exclaimed as lightning flashed showing Groudon beneath him. "It's time to end this Jessie, before you hurt anyone else." Ash said, his voice echoing.
"Mikey, we need to go!" Brendan said, grabbing his arm, only to feel it cold as ice. "Mikey?"
"I need to save Skydios!" Mikey said, rushing into the battlefield.
"No! That's what she wants!" Brendan shouted, trying to chase after him only to be blocked by the onslaught of elements.
"We need to get off this island while there's still an island left to get off of." Wally said.
"Lapras should be just over here if Ash is here." Flannery said, grabbing the two boys.
"Mikey come on!" Brendan shouted.
"No! I have to make this right! I don't want to rule a destroyed world! What's the fun in that!?" Mikey exclaimed.
"You know, he may be evil, but his moral compass is fairly good otherwise." Wally chuckled as they made it to the shore where Lapras was waiting with Pikachu.
Back on the battlefield
"WE NEED POWER!" Jessie screamed, as the dots decorating her body began flashing, as Ash felt himself and Groudon get pulled in.
'HOLD TIGHT ASH!' The Primal Force shouted.
"EASY FOR YOU TO SAY, I'M THE ONE WITH HANDS!" Ash screamed as he released aura tendrils, trying to keep him in place.
'PROMISE ME YOU WON'T FREAK OUT!' The Primal force said, as red lines began glowing brightly across Ash's body.
"YOU SUMMONED GROUDON FROM HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD, NOTHING IS GOING TO… woah." Ash said, as his feet became connected to Groudon's head.
'The three of us are a team.' The primal force reminded. 'This isn't her power to take.'
"Right." Ash said. "Now Jessie, it's time to end this!" Ash said, charging Groudon forward as it tackled into Jessie.
"Don't forget about us!" Mikey exclaimed, as Rayquaza flew in.
"FATHER! SISTER! WHY DO YOU FIGHT ME! I WISH TO LIVE!" Jessie exclaimed, struggling in their grasp.
"I don't get it, why does she keep calling us that?" Mikey asked.
"I don't think that she is." Ash said. "What if it's the orb? Your's is artificial, so there isn't a second person in it, and I've made peace with the Groudon Primal Force."
"You think the orb is speaking through her?" Mikey asked. "Wait hold on."
Rayquaza spun out of the way of a massive rock slide coming from one of Jessie's arms.
"As you were saying?" Mikey asked.
"Well, oof." Ash grunted, as Groudon was punched back. "What if Kyogre is calling out to Groudon and Rayquaza, asking for help."
"But why would it want to live, isn't it alive?" Mikey asked.
"I don't know." Ash admitted. "I just know that without a stable host, the forces can't exist."
"Well, I don't think anyone can call her stable anymore." Mikey joked, as Jessie flung remnants of the island at them. "Look out!"
Groudon fired a burst of magma upwards, stopping the attack in an instant.
"Okay, so what do we do?" Ash thought to himself.
"GRYAGAAAH!" Rayquaza cried out.
"You're going to think I'm crazy, but I think Skydios just told me what to do." Mikey said.
"I'm fused to the head of Groudon right now, trust me, nothing is crazy at this point." Ash countered. "What did he say?"
"To feed her our energy." Mikey said. "That it's the only way to stop her."
'ASH I MUST ADVISE, THERE IS A CHANCE THIS WILL END POORLY.' The Primal force informed.
"And he's sure this will do it?" Ash asked, seeing the others on Lapras a ways off.
"Mmhmm mmhmm." Mikey said, putting his ear on Rayquaza. "Skydios says yes."
"Okay." Ash said. "Hey Jessie, over here you old lady!"
"OLD LADY! I'M NOT EVEN 20!" Jessie screamed, running at Ash.
"Knew that would work." Ash said, charging Groudon forward, locking arms with Jessie.
"POWER!" Jessie screamed. "NO! The twerp is right here, I need to kidnap him!" Jessie said angrily. "WE MUST FEED TO LIVE!" Jessie screamed in response. "Twerp, whats happening to me?" Jessie asked worridley.
"I'm sorry, but you aren't a match." Ash apologized. "Go ahead, feed on me."
"POWER!" Jessie exclaimed.
"ASH!" Flannery shouted, watching three streams of energy coming out of him and Groudon. A green one, a red one, and a purple one.
"Let's do this Skydios!" Mikey said, allowing them to be hit as well. Two more streams both a dark green being absorbed by Jessie.
"YES! YES! WE ARE FINALLY FREE!" Jessie exclaimed as her body began cracking.
A bright light blinded Ash as Jessie's body broke apart as a ringing went through his ears.
"Well, it was fun while it lasted." Ash said, as the light engulfed him.
