With the knowledge of Kamado acting to try and eliminate the Rulers of Time and Space. The group headed for the Coronet Highlands and made their way up the Mountain from Moonview arena. They had to go through a cave to get to their destination, the Temple of Sinnoh, but all of a sudden they were stopped by…Beni?
"Well…fancy seeing you here." Beni said.
"Please move out of our way." Hope said.
"I'm afraid I cannot do that. Pokémon have been terrifying creatures for centuries. Whoever Almighty Sinnoh is…it needs to be put down." Beni said as he dressed as a ninja.
"A shinobi warrior." Hayase said. "All of you, go ahead. I shall deal with him."
"Okay. Be careful, Hayase." Tsubaki said.
"Do not worry. Death will not have me on this day." Hayase said.
The others quickly went ahead as Hayase and Beni clashed, sword against kunai.
"This is the last use of my ninja techniques before they're lost to time… I will not fail my dear friend!" Beni said.
"I understand. It pains me to even think of fighting you, Lord Beni. Your potato mochi was enjoyable. But…I will see our mission fulfilled!" Hayase said as he and Beni dueled with their blades before Hayase quickly took him down.
"And here I thought I wouldn't meet someone who would fight without Pokémon." Beni said. "Do you intend to…"
"No…there is no point. Besides…if I did such a thing…I'd be robbing the world of the chance to enjoy your cooking." Hayase said, sheathing his blade.
Everyone else quickly ran out to the Temple of Sinnoh as Kamado stood there clad in armor.
"Kamado…" Tsubaki said.
"We have the Red Chain. We can bind the world back together." Mari said.
"Bind? No…that will not do it. Binding would mean the world would go back to fearing Pokémon, especially these self proclaimed deities that are above us." Kamado said. "No…I shall see Almighty Sinnoh fall. No longer will people fear these terrifying creatures we call Pokémon."
"You're an idiot." Ace said.
"Don't you understand what you're saying?" David asked. "Aren't you succumbing to that same fear yourself? I know nothing we say is going to change your mind, seeing as though we're outsiders… But I speak for everyone here when I say that Pokémon are not creatures to be feared. They are capable of coexisting with humans."
"You all have high hopes. However…if you even want to get inside…you will have to get through me." Kamado said drawing a Pokéball.
"Somehow I figured we'd have to battle you…" Hope said. "So be it! We'll show you that Pokémon are to be friends, not feared!"
"This is our resolve. One you should never underestimate!" Mari added as they all faced down Kamado.
(Cue: Ryu vs Akuma- Street Fighter 4)
"Now come! Braviary!" Kamado said, sending out Braviary.
"Say hello to my little friend." David said as he sends out his Froslass.
"Braviary…attack with Esper Wing!" Kamado called out as Braviary attacked with its psychic empowered wings.
"Now, Shadow Ball!" David said.
Froslass unleashed the Hadoken Shadow Ball as it collided with Braviary, overpowering the bird Pokémon.
"Return!" Kamado said, calling it back. "Come! Golem!" he said, sending out Golem.
"David! Switch with me!" Perfuma said.
"Alright. Tagging out." David said.
Perfuma and David high fived as Froslass was returned.
"Go, Lilligant!" Perfuma said, sending out her Hisuian Lilligant. "Use Petal Dance!"
Lilligant danced elegantly, whipping up a storm of petals that took down Golem, having a massive weakness to Grass moves.
Kamado returned Golem. "Any Pokémon who threatens life here… must be eliminated! Go, Clefable!" he said, sending it out.
"Pokémon have a right to live just as much as anyone. I'll take it from here, Perfuma." Mari said, hi-fiving as they passed each other.
"You've learned from battling Rose, have you?" Perfuma asked.
"Yeah, I won't make the same mistake twice. Mercury and I have grown stronger since then." Mari said as Mercury jumped out from her hair. "Let's go, Flash Cannon!" she called as a bright energy began concentrating around Mercury's head before firing a beam of light that instantly knocked out Clefable.
"Return!" Kamado said. "My last one. Come, Snorlax!" Kamado said sending out Snorlax.
"Tsubaki, would you like to do the honors?" Mari asked.
"Right. Spiritomb, now's your time to shine!" Tsubaki said.
"You shall not prevail! Snorlax, attack with High Horsepower!" Kamado said.
"Spiritomb, Dark Pulse." Tsubaki said as Spiritomb unleashed a powerful Dark Pulse as it took down the incoming Snorlax.
(end song)
"It appears…this is my defeat." Kamado said.
"We don't blame you for distrusting us, Kamado. Or exiling us from the Village. You were protecting the lives of everyone in Hisui." Hope said. "But we have the means to help save the region. Can you trust us?"
"As if I had another choice." Kamado said.
They approached the temple and the main altar as the chain started to glow as it spun around the center. As it did, a Pokémon started to appear within. A large dinosaur like creature with two pearl like jewels in its arms as it roared.
"That's…Palkia!" David said.
Palkia let out a loud cry before the chain completely shattered.
"Uh oh, there goes the chain!" Scorpia said.
"Then we'll just have to catch Palkia so that it calms down!" Hope said.
"But the question is, who should be the one to catch it?" David asked.
"I will." Mari said, stepping forward. "As a Dimensional Researcher, and with Palkia as a deity of Space, he could be a great help to it."
"O-okay. If you're sure." Tsubaki said. "We'll weaken him a bit. When you see your chance, go for the catch." she said, giving Mari a Heavy Ball.
"You got it." Mari winked.
The others then approached Palkia.
"Hey, Palkia! Wanna battle?!" Hope said as Palkia roared. "Definitely a yes!"
"We'll give this all we have! Go, Goodra!" Perfuma said, sending out the Alpha Goodra.
Palkia let out a cry as energy gathered in its arm before unleashing its signature move, Spacial Rend.
"Quickly, Use Shelter!" Perfuma said as Goodra retreated into its shell and blocked the attack the best it could. "Retaliate, with Dragon Pulse!"
Goodra fired back at Palkia with its own Dragon move, damaging the Ruler of Space right back. Both Pokemon exchanged their powerful Dragon type moves to the other, and in the end, Goodra was able to weaken Palkia enough before it collapsed.
"Mari, this is your chance!" Hope said.
"Right, here goes!" Mari said, throwing the Heavy Ball as it drew Palkia in and clicked a bit before fireworks went off. "Alright!" she cheered as she picked up the Heavy Ball.
"Don't celebrate just yet. It's not over." Hope said as lightning struck down in the spot Palkia had been.
Mari nervously looked up as she saw the four legged ruler of Time, Dialga, looking down on her before it let out a ferocious roar.
"Wah!" Mari screamed before quickly running back to the others.
"Another Almighty Sinnoh?!" Kamado said. "I fear we must take a…oh forget the fancy talk. Cheese it!" Kamado said.
"He's right, we gotta get out of here!" David said.
The group fell back to the base of the summit.
"Oh man… I don't think we were ready to take on both of them back to back." Tsubaki said.
"Yes…and without the red chain, we have no way of suppressing Dialga's power like it did Palkia's." Hayase said. "Unless…"
"Unless what?" Keith asked.
"If we had a material similar to the Red Chain, I could craft a ball capable of suppressing Dialga." Hayase said.
"You want to create a Pokéball outta the red chain? I'm interested." Scorpia said.
"No…the red chain is in pieces. What fragments we have will not be enough. We need more." Hayase said.
"Well, there's gotta be someone that knows what material is needed." Glacius said.
"...Lian." Tsubaki said.
"The guy from the Pearl Clan?" Glacius asked.
"Hmm… Yes, he might be our best shot." David said.
It wasn't long before Lian was brought before the group.
"Sure…I can find something like that. Me and Sliggoo will sniff that material right out for you." Lian said.
He then sent out his Hisuian Sliggoo, as it slithered into its shell, it rolled along the way before finding a small cave where lots of the same mineral was growing from the walls itself.
"Whoa…look at all these red jewels." Tsubaki said.
Hayase broke off one of them. "Yes…and they appear to be of the same hardness and color as the Red Chain. This should be perfect." he said.
"Great." Ace said.
"Yeah…great…for us." a voice said as the group turned to see three familiar figures.
"We'll take all you got!" Clover said.
"Ugh, haven't you bothered us enough already? We got bigger fish to fry." Mari said.
"Aw…little baby still upset cause we robbed all her fancy gizmos?" Clover mocked.
"Why you…!" Mari said.
"Mari." Hope said. "Charm, this isn't the time for this. Can't you see there's a bigger crisis going on?"
"Oh we're well aware. But if the world is going to end anyway, may as well make the most of it." Charm said.
"You want to risk everything just to carve your names into history? Is that why you left Jubilife Village?" Hope said. "Is that why Clover and Coin left the Diamond and Pearl clans?"
"I don't have to justify myself in front of you. All right sisters. You know what to do." Charm said.
"Let's go, Abomasnow!" Clover said.
"Poison them down to the bone, Toxicroak!" Coin said.
"Let's give them an everlasting nightmare, Gengar!" Charm said.
"They're pulling out all the stops this time." Tsubaki said.
"Looks like we have no choice but to fight them." Perfuma said.
"Now…let's settle the…" Coin said before a tail slammed into the three thieves and their Pokemon before smashing them against the wall.
"All right…I'm through with you three giving me the run around." X Drake said.
"Drake!" Scorpia said.
"I've been chasing you all over Hisui. Now…the chase ends here." X Drake said drawing his blades.
"Ugh! This guy is still getting in our way?!" Clover asked before one of her hair ties was sliced off.
"Shut up. I'm arresting you and you have the right to remain silent." X Drake said.
"I'll be taking my stuff back too." Mari said.
"Yeah…you're too late. We already sold it off." Coin said.
Mari turned white before taking a deep breath. "I'm calm."
"Yeah, what did you expect? We robbed you weeks ago. You think we wouldn't sell it?" Charm asked.
*BONK!*
Mari held a giant squeaky hammer as steam emitted from it. "Okay…after we're done, I'll just track down whoever you sold it to." Mari said.
"I'll be taking these three now." X Drake said as he tied them off.
"You know…it's surprising…for a pirate to have such a sense of justice." Hope said.
"I know, right? Its almost like he's still a member of the Marines or something." Scorpia said.
"Wait what?" Ace asked. "Is…is that true?"
X Drake soon stopped. "Ugh…so much for keeping it secret." he groaned.
"Wait, it's true?" Hope said.
"Yes. I work for the Marine covert team known as SWORD." X Drake said.
"So, does that mean… no, I shouldn't pry too much." Hope said. "Still Drake…you're a pretty cool guy."
"It's weird, but I agree." Ace said. "It was just a bit surprising that's all."
"Drake… do you believe we don't have a chance at beating Kaido?" Perfuma asked.
"I've been keeping an eye on your main forces through reports from Hawkins and Queen when they encountered groups affiliated but…No. You don't have a chance." X Drake said.
"Why does everyone keep saying that?" David asked.
"However…" X Drake said. "If the worst comes to worst for someone like me…you wouldn't be a bad lot to throw my hat in with. What I said is only based on what has been reported. However, for some reason, my superior seems to believe the one you follow could possibly do it."
"Your superior? You mean Fujitora, right?" David asked.
"Fujitora? No…not him. The Admiral isn't my superior. The superior in SWORD is Captain Koby." X Drake said.
"Ah, right… Koby. Hey, Jexi. Koby is Luffy's first friend, right?" David asked.
"Yeah. They had a fateful encounter in the East Blue. If it wasn't for Luffy, he wouldn't have gotten into the Marines." Jexi said.
"But in my opinion, it doesn't matter if Drake's superior is Fujitora or Koby. I'm just glad that the Marines still have some good eggs among their ranks." David said.
"Same. Drake…you know we're going to go there sometime. So…you better keep to what you said. Things go bad, don't be afraid to join up with us." Jexi said.
"I'll keep that in mind." X Drake said walking off with the bandits.
"That was a pretty nice exchange there." Tsubaki said. "Guess Drake doesn't seem like a bad guy, after all.""
"No…he isn't." Jexi said.
After gathering a number of the materials in the cave, Hayase got to work as he crafted at a quick pace.
"Done." Hayase said, presenting a red crystal Pokeball. "This…is the Origin Ball. It's what will capture Dialga."
"You will only have one shot at this, Mari. Are you ready?" Tsubaki asked.
"What? Me…against Dialga?!" Mari said in surprise.
"Don't worry. You won't be facing him alone." Tsubaki said. "We'll use the same method as with Palkia. Weaken him, and use it as soon as you see the opportunity."
"We're counting on you, the world's greatest Dimensional Researcher." Ace said.
Mari looked at the Origin Ball nervously before changing her expression to one of determination. "Let's do it."
They slowly made it back up to the Temple of Sinnoh where Dialga stood. Mari prepped the ball with Palkia in it as Dialga gathered energy. Mari tossed the ball as Dialga unleashed a powerful burst of energy as Palkia blocked for the group as Dialga's powerful attack destroyed a majority of the temple, leaving it just a roofless base with pillars in the shape of spears. Once the energy vanished, Dialga stood in a new form as it was now a closer appearance to Arceus.
"Oh man… He's pulling out all the stops now." David said. "Let's go, everyone. We've only got one shot at this. Let's hit him with everything we've got!"
"Of course!" Perfuma said. "Go! Decidueye, and Lilligant!" she called our her two Grass/Fighting types.
Dialga looked down as it let out a cry as a large meteor fell on the two Pokémon.
"No!" Perfuma said.
"That was Draco Meteor!" Ayase said.
"It's pretty powerful, and it doesn't look like he's aiming to stop with that!" Hope said, as Dialga called down more meteors.
"Come on, stay with me." Perfuma said to her two weakened Pokémon.
"Faerie Star!" Ace said as stardust sprites circled above and showered a healing light onto the two Pokemon.
"Thank you, Ace." Perfuma said as her two Pokémon recovered. "I have to be more careful. This is a Legendary Pokémon after all." she said as the meteors were falling randomly now as her Pokémon were struck again. "Oh come on!" Perfuma said.
Dialga then spread out its legs as the frill on its back started to expand.
"Oh no… We gotta stop this!" David said as he sent out his two Froslass.
"David's right! Dialga's about to use Roar of Time!" Hope said.
"Typhlosion!" Tsubaki called out.
"Samurott!" Hayase said.
"Decidueye! You still have some energy so…" Perfuma said.
"Use Infernal Parade!"
"Ceaseless Edge!"
"Triple Arrows!"
The three Pokémon banded together as they unleashed a triple threat attack on Dialga, causing its power to implode and damage it.
"Whoa…they actually…" Ayase said as Dialga was struggling to get up. "Mari, now is your chance!"
"R-Right! H-here I go!" Mari said, throwing the Origin Ball as it drew Dialga in. It shook a few times before stopping. "I did it?"
Light then began to spread from around the ball as the sky slowly returned to its normal coloring as the Space-Time Rift had vanished as well.
"Phew… That was crazy…" David said as his two Froslass helped him up.
"But hey, we managed to save Hisui, right?" Mari asked, walking up to them with the Origin Ball in hand.
"Looks like it." Hayase said. "It seems this land can sleep a little easier now."
"Huh?" Sunset said as they saw a large ripple in the sky before a couple of ships flew through it.
"Could those ships be… our friends?" Perfuma asked. "They came!"
"Hey, where were you guys? You missed all the fun." Luna asked on the comm.
"Sorry. We found the date the guys left. But when we tried, there was some kind of Space/Time Disturbance in place so we were caught in a stream in time until it suddenly cleared up moments ago." Tails answered.
"I see…Dialga and Palkia's power must have been keeping them from coming to the right place and time." Senku said.
"But you guys are all here now, so it means everything here has gone back to normal." David said. "Though… It's probably going to raise a lot of questions once we get back to Jubilife Village. There is so much everyone needs to discuss."
"Definitely." Mari said.
"Yeah…I'm sure everyone is ready to celebrate this accomplishment back in the village." Siege said.
"You guys will join in too, right?" David asked.
"Dude, did you even need to ask?" Jet asked.
After departing from the mountaintop, the groups were now regrouped in Jubilife Village as they enjoyed the ongoing festival happening.
"Whew. We did great today, huh?" Mari said to the others as she was cleaning her glasses.
"Yeah. Not only did we save Hisui, but you've got Palkia and Diagla as catches." Scorpia said. "Your research is gonna go forward leaps and bounds with them by your side."
"I must agree. Having those two around will make things quite lively." Alphamon said.
"Well, if it wasn't for Tsubaki and the others' encouragement, I might've not been able to pull it off. It was thanks to them for giving me the courage to do so." Mari smiled. "I'm really lucky to have friends like you."
"Well, seems like Hisui will be peaceful for awhile." Tsubaki said.
"True but the work is far from over. Seek out all Pokémon. That is what the message in those strange Arc Phones continue to say." Hayase said.
"True…we've gathered data on a number of Pokemon. All that remains are the legends and myths." Ayase said.
"Then first thing tomorrow, we're getting back in the saddle." Esmeralda said. "Er… So to speak."
"Yeah, let's go!" Mari cheered.
"Okay, you need to rest." Stoj said.
"No no…I can still keep going." Mari said.
Elsewhere in a separate dimension…
"It seems they've managed to quell Dialga and Palkia. Yet the task I've set is only half done." Arceus said. "They still need to gather my remaining plates as well as meet the other legends of this land. Then…the meeting between us can begin."
"Yeah…but these young ones…they can do it." said another figure. "Remember, I've been waiting for this for as long as you have."
"Quite true. Our patience will soon be rewarded." Arceus said.
