Chapter 18: Escape From The Hidden Land

Kari, Rosa, Brock, Max, Matt, Joe, Ken, and their Pokemon and Digimon has left the Subspace Bomb Factory and are making their escape from the Hidden Land. They jumped down a huge pit and fought some Evil Digimon along the way like the Arcadiamon Rookie and Goblimon. The Arcadiamon and Goblimon did their usual attacks like Erase Sickles and Goblin Rush, but the gang easily dodges their attacks. Gabumon uses Blue Blaster on the Arcadiamon, while Gomamon uses Marching Fish on the Goblimon. They took out the Evil Digimon and broke some blocks to land down on a platform with spike walls. As the platform starts descending, some more Arcadiamon and Goblimon appeared. Before the Arcadiamon could attack, Poochyena uses Sucker Punch on them, while Ralts uses Magical Leaf on the Goblimon. After taking out the Evil Digimon, some spikes on the walls tried to close in on the gang, but they easily dodged them. When the platform descends below the spike walls, it starts opening up.

Brock: That platform is opening up. Let's get outta here.

The gang jumps down the platform, where there are more floating platforms and Thundermon. When the gang lands on those platforms, they started rising up to the ceiling. The gang quickly got off those platforms and fought off some Thundermon. The Thundermon uses Thunder Bombers on the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Onix uses Rock Throw on the Thundermon, easily taking them out. The gang made it to the bottom of the pit, where there is a door. They went through the door and they fell through another pit with more floating platforms and some Quark Mines. When the gang lands on those platforms, the Quark Mines started chasing. They quickly got off those platforms and made it to the bottom of the pit. They went down the hole and saw some Argomon In-Training and FlameWizardmon. Mudkip uses Water Gun on the FlameWizardmon, while Gatomon uses Lightning Paw on the Argomon. Before they could make it to the end of the pit, they saw a Dark Portal with some Argomon coming out of it.

Kari: Look! There are more Digimon coming outta that portal! We better take it out!

Snivy uses Energy Ball on the Argomon, while Emolga uses Acrobatics on the Dark Portal. They took out the Evil Digimon and the portal and continue down the pit, where they saw another door. They went through the door and they fell down another pit. Matt's Digivice starts beeping.

Matt: There it is! The Garuru Flyer is here!

Down below the pit, a blue airship that looks like a head of a blue metal wolf has appeared. The gang lands on it safely and went inside it. Rosa, Brock, and Max returns Swanna, Accelgor, Crobat, Forretress, Shroomish, and Shuppet back to their Pokeballs. Matt went on the steering wheel.

Matt: Now let's get outta here!

However, just as the Garuru Flyer is about to take off, something is following them. They are Hunter J and Salamence. Salamence now has a giant red crescent-shaped wing on him. He is now Mega Salamence.

J: I'll make sure you won't escape the Hidden Land alive!

Kari and Rosa saw J and Mega Salamence approaching them.

Rosa: Great! J and Salamence again! We have to stop them!

Matt: I'll keep driving the ship! You guys will take care of her!

Joe: We have like about two minutes left. That's more than enough time to stop her and escape.

Kari, Matt, and Joe's Crests started glowing, making Gatomon, Gabumon, and Gomamon glow as well.

The Pokemon and Digimon climbs out of the Garuru Flyer to face J and Mega Salamence. Angewomon uses Celestial Arrow on Mega Salamence, WereGarurumon uses Garuru Kick to do a spin kick on Mega Salamence, while Zudomon uses Hammer Boomerang to throw his hammer at Mega Salamence. All of the attacks did some damage to Mega Salamence. He then uses Flamethrower on Angewomon, WereGarurumon, and Zudomon, doing some damage to them. Serperior uses Giga Drain to drain alot of energy from Mega Salamence, while Emolga uses Spark. Both attacks did some damage to Mega Salamence.

Max: Are you guys doing OK over there?

Mightyena: We're fine. That Mega Salamence is really powerful.

Brock: Then you'll have to give it everything you got!

Angewomon uses Heaven's Charm on Mega Salamence, WereGarurumon uses Wolf Claw to send sharp energy cutters from his claws at Mega Salamence, while Zudomon uses Vulcan Hammer to slam his hammer to the ground and create a lightning bolt to attack Mega Salamence. Serperior uses Leaf Storm, while Emolga uses Discharge. Swampert uses Hammer Arm, Mightyena uses Dark Pulse, while Gallade uses Focus Blast. All of the attacks did alot of damage to Mega Salamence, making him and J fall down.

Angewomon, WereGarurumon, Zudomon, Serperior, Swampert, Steelix, Mightyena, and Gallade reverts back to their normal stages and got back inside the Garuru Flyer. The ship escapes the Hidden Land in time, as the whole base gets engulfed in Subspace.

Joe: That was close.

Matt: Guys, I'm picking up on some readings in the desert area.

Kari: It's Tai and T.K.! They're still alive! Let's get there!

Brock: And there's Ash and Gary there too.

Rosa: As well as Nate. Good thing he's still alive.

At the desert, Ash, Tai, Jimmy, T.K., Marina, Nate, Gary, Takato, Ryo, Dawn, and their Pokemon and Digimon watches the Hidden Land getting engulfed by Subspace. Suddenly, the Garuru Flyer came in. Brock's gang came out.

Matt: Hey guys! You're OK?

Tai: Matt! Joe!

T.K.: We're fine, brother.

Brock and Max jumps down and ran towards Ash.

Brock: Ash, we've got some bad news!

Ash: Like what?

Kari and Gatomon were reunited with T.K. and Patamon, as they got into a big hug. Rosa and Snivy did the same for Nate and Oshawott.

T.K.: Thank goodness you're safe, Kari.

Kari: Of course I am, T.K.

Nate: I'm so glad you're OK, Rosa.

Rosa: Me too, Nate. Me too.

Tai: I think Kari and the others aren't the only ones giving us a call.

Dawn: What do you mean?

Takato: Look up there!

The Rocket Frigate was landing besides them. Lucario came out first. He first saw Ash and Pikachu.

Lucario: Ash! Pikachu!

Ash & Pikachu: Lucario! You're here too!

Ash and Pikachu ran up to Lucario and they got in a friendly hug.

?: Get a room!

Marcus and his Agumon came out next.

Tai: Marcus? You're here too?

Marcus: The one and only.

Ash and Tai looks very confused. But then...

? 1 & 2: ASH! PIKACHU!

? 3 & 4: TAI! AGUMON!

Ash, Pikachu, Tai, and Agumon looks up to see May, Skitty, Sora, and Biyomon waving at them.

Ash & Pikachu: MAY! SKITTY!

Tai & Agumon: SORA! BIYOMON!

The girls leapt down the ship and May and Skitty hugs Ash and Pikachu, as Sora and Biyomon did to Tai and Agumon.

May: Oh Ash! Thank goodness, you're safe!

Ash: It's a good thing you're safe, May.

Sora: Tai, I was so worried about you! I missed you!

Tai: I missed you too, Sora.

Seeing the two couples made Marina and Chikorita giggle, as they held hands with Jimmy and Cyndaquil, making them blush.

Marina: Well, Jimmy. Since Ash, Tai, T.K., and Nate are reunited with their loved ones, I think we should have our little romance too.

Before Jimmy could respond, he and Marina saw someone that surprised them. They saw Silver coming out of the Rocket Frigate with Takuya, Koji, and Impmon.

Jimmy: Silver? You're here too?

Silver: Jimmy, Marina, let's put our differences aside and help defeat the Subspace Army. Agreed?

Jimmy & Marina: Agreed!

Jimmy and Marina shook hands with Silver. Nate looks sad.

Rosa: What's wrong, Nate?

Nate: Still no sign of Calem.

Gary puts his hand on Nate's shoulder to comfort him.

Gary: It's OK. We'll find him.

Kari: OH NO! GUYS!

T.K.: What's wrong, Kari?

Everyone came to her. Ash, May, Tai, and Sora got a bad feeling about this.

Kari: We just heard that both Mewtwo and Myotismon are planning to use a huge cannon to put this world into Subspace!

Everyone: WHAT?

Ash: Mewtwo, he won't get away with this!

Tai: I just had enough of Myotismon!

Takuya: Guys, this is the final push! We must put an end to Mewtwo and Myotismon's plan once and for all! We'll attack the cannon!

Ryo: Right! And we must avenge Henry, Calem, Davis, and the others!

Ash: Our final battle begins!

Tai: And I think I have a plan to stop that cannon!

Meanwhile, inside the Subspace, something came out of it. It was a huge cannon connected to a battleship. On top of it were Mewtwo and Myotismon.

Myotismon: Fire!

The cannon charges up and then fires a giant purple beam in the far distance. That continent was engulfed in Subspace.

Mewtwo: Hahaha! Now nothing can stop us!

Myotismon: Wait one moment!

He saw something coming towards them. It's the Rocket Frigate.

Mewtwo: What? They're still alive?

Myotismon: I'll take care of them! Fire the mini-cannons!

The smaller cannons fired some lasers at the Rocket Frigate. The frigate dodges them, but there were too many of them. One hits it on the wing and the other went straight through and it was destroyed.

Mewtwo: That will take care of them!

Then he saw something out of the explosion.

Mewtwo: WHAT?

MetalGreymon, Garudamon, MagnaAngemon, WarGrowlmon, Cyberdramon, and Aldamon appears, heading towards the battleship. On them were Ash, Gary, Brock, Marina, Silver, May, Max, Dawn, Lucario, Nate, Rosa, Tai, Matt, Sora, Joe, T.K., Kari, Ken, Takato, Ryo, Impmon, Koji, and Marcus.

Mewtwo: This can't be possible!

Myotismon: Keep firing!

Tai: Don't let them hit us, MetalGreymon!

All the cannons fired at the Digimon, but they dodged them all. Ash looks up.

Ash: OK, Jimmy! NOW!

High in the sky came Jimmy, Cyndaquil, and Aipom riding on Mantine. They are heading towards the battleship.

Jimmy: Mantine, use Wing Attack!

Mantine uses Wing Attack to make his wings glow and cut through the battleship. The ship starts to explode.

Myotismon: Hmph! Come on, Mewtwo!

He walks into the Subspace with Mewtwo following him.

Aldamon: After them!

The six Digimon enters the Subspace with Jimmy and Mantine closely following them. The gang found themselves inside the Dark Area. It is a very dark place with a path leading forward.

Pikachu and Ambipom uses Thunderbolt and Swift on the Sepikmon, while Charizard and Typhlosion uses Flamethrower on the Phantomon, easily taking them out. As the gang continues down the path, they encountered some MetalMamemon, Sepikmon, Harpymon, Arcadiamon Rookie, and Flymon. MetalGreymon uses Giga Blaster on the MetalMamemon, MagnaAngemon uses Soul Banish to fire a light energy sphere at the Sepikmon, WarGrowlmon uses Atomic Blaster on the Harpymon, Aldamon uses Atomic Inferno on the Arcadiamon, while RizeGreymon uses Trident Revolver on the Flymon. They took out the Evil Digimon and proceed to the next area, where they encountered more MetalMamemon, Harpymon, and FlameWizardmon coming out of Dark Portals.

Gary: More Evil Digimon coming outta the portals! Let's take them out!

Blastoise and Samurott uses Water Gun on the FlameWizardmon, Arcanine and Emboar uses Flame Wheel and Flame Charge on the MetalMamemon, while Feraligatr and Weavile uses Crunch and Shadow Claw on the Harpymon. After the Evil Digimon were taken out, Lucario uses Aura Sphere to destroy the Dark Portals. The gang proceeds to the next area, where they got attacked by a Megadramon. Sceptile and Garchomp uses Leaf Blade and Dragon Claw on the Megadramon. After taking out the Megadramon, the gang got attacked by some Arcadiamon Ultimate and Snimon.

After the Evil Digimon were taken out, some more Arcadiamon Ultimate and Gigadramon appeared. Meganium and Serperior uses Energy Ball on the Arcadiamon Ultimate, while Cyberdramon and Beowolfmon uses Desolation Claw and Cleansing Light on the Gigadramon. After taking out the Evil Digimon, the gang proceeds forward.

Ash: Mewtwo, Myotismon, here we come!

Meanwhile, Mewtwo and Myotismon were walking towards a cliffside.

Mewtwo: We better report to Darkrai.

Myotismon suddenly stops and smirks evilly.

Mewtwo: We almost conquered the world. Now we need Darkrai to give us the power and...

BANG!

Before Mewtwo knew it, he was turned into a trophy. Myotismon has the last Dark Cannon and he turns his partner into one.

Myotismon: Sorry, Mewtwo. But only we Digimon are capable of conquering the world.

He kicks the Mewtwo trophy aside and walks up to the cliff.

Myotismon: Lord Darkrai, I am here.

He held up his arms and Darkrai appears. Myotismon bows.

Myotismon: Lord Darkrai, I've done everything you need.

Darkrai: Myotismon, help me!

Myotismon then looks up and saw yellow strings behind Darkrai. He then saw where the strings came from and it looks like an angel with long blonde hair with one angel wing and one devil wing on the sides of his head. He is wearing a white jumpsuit with black sleeves and pants and white gloves and boots. He has five angel wings on his right side and five devil wings on his left side. He is Lucemon Chaos Mode.

Myotismon: WHAT IS THIS?

Lucemon: Hmph! You fool! I must thank you for doing everything I say. Now I don't need your help anymore.

Myotismon: Why you...!

He leaps towards Lucemon and was about to use Crimson Lightning to summon a red energy whip to attack Lucemon, but he casts a shield and knocks Myotismon back, bumping him into Darkrai in the process. Darkrai got free, but he fell to the ground. Myotismon got turned into a trophy as he lands beside him. Darkrai got back up.

Darkrai: I'll make you pay for what you've done!

He charges at Lucemon.

Lucemon: Haven't I told you? I brought you back to life. But if this is how you wanna die, so be it.

He casts a wall shield and Darkrai was knocked back to the ground. Darkrai lays still. At this point, the heroes arrived. All their Pokemon and Digimon reverts back to their normal stages.

Nate: W...What is this?

The gang saw the Mewtwo and Myotismon trophies on the ground.

Sora: What happened here?

They then saw Lucemon.

Ash: Up there! Who are you?

Takuya: That is Lucemon! He is one of the Seven Demon Lords of the Digital World!

Lucemon: Correct. I am also the leader of the Subspace Army.

Koji: You are in charge of the Subspace Army?

Lucemon: Correct again. After I lost to you Legendary Warriors, my spirit has found itself inside the Dark Area, where I slowly began to revive myself. I then started planning to take over the Poke-Digi World. So I revived Darkrai as my puppet and used him to create the Subspace Army with Mewtwo and Myotismon.

Kari: So you're the one behind the whole thing?

Lucemon: Certainly. But I am afraid our little chat is over. Since you're all trying to stop me, I will not let that happen.

He then forms a light orb and a dark orb on each of his hands.

Lucemon: I hope you all live well as trophies.

Takato: W...What is he doing?

Lucemon uses Ultimate Sacrifice to first throw his light orb at the gang, then he threw his dark orb at the light orb, and the gang got trapped inside a giant magical orb. The orb explodes and all the heroes and their Pokemon and Digimon flew in the air. And one by one, everyone was turned into trophies. They all laid on the ground.

Lucemon: Hmph! That takes care of those lot. Now the world is mine!

He summons some orbs around him, which has different areas in the world the heroes visited. Some staircases appeared, leading up to Lucemon. This could be the end. Lucemon has defeated everyone.
