Hi, everyone! I'm back with another chapter of DC Superhero Girls and Aura Guardian! In this chapter, you're in for a spoooooooooooooky treat as our heroes fight some ghosts and deal with a crabby headmaster that doesn't like taking orders from a girl! And now, on with the story!
*I DON'T OWN POKÉMON OR DC SUPERHERO GIRLS!*
It was dark and stormy as the bell in the bell tower chimed for midnight, as a girl was in her room studying! But as the lightning flashed, it caused the lights to flicker making the girl scared. Then, her closet door opened and when she looked inside, there was nothing in there but clothes, much to her relief. But the lightning flashed again causing a blackout and when the girl looked, there was a ghost!
Girl: [screams in horror]
Then, Tatsu came into the room to find her roommate shaking in fear as she pointed to the jewelry box on the floor. The next day, Babs and Kara were at the base. Babs was fixing one of her inventions, while Kara was playing her electric guitar while floating with her powers.
[cell phone buzzing, ringing]
[cell phone continues ringing]
Babs: Phone. Phone!
Kara: It's Diana's. She's not here.
Babs: [groans]
Scizor: [telling Babs to stop complaining] SCIZOR SCIZOR!
Babs went to answer Diana's phone by hacking into it. The message seemed to be from Tatsu.
[beeping]
Babs: Ha! Hey, Kara, wanna do something fun?
Kara: [plays riff]
Empoleon: [asking Babs if she should call Ash] EMP EMPOLEON?
Babs: Since Tatsu is one of Ash's girlfriends, I say yes!
Elsewhere, Ash was with Kitty Kumbata at the Lazarus Pit, practicing his guitar.
Ash: [strums his guitar] [to Kitty Kumbata] How was that?
Kitty Kumbata: Not bad! If you keep being this good, you might actually become a rock'n'roll artist yourself! Heck, I bet you can come up with some good lyrics for a love song, rock'n'roll style!
Ash: Thanks, Kitty! I have a pretty good teacher!
Kitty Kumbata: Aw, shucks!
She then gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Kitty Kumbata: You're really sweet!
Ash: I try!
Kitty Kumbata: And that's what I love about you!
Ash: Thanks, Kitty! I love you too! Well, [as he packs up his guitar] I better get going! [as he swung the bag around to his back] I promised Zee that I'd help her with her magic acts! You still down for sometime next week?
Kitty Kumbata: Of course! [kisses his cheek] See you next week!
Ash: Okay! [leaves] See ya next week! C'mon, Pikachu!
Pikachu: [following Ash] PIKACHU!
Once they left, they were in their way to the penthouse! And Ash sung a little tune as he walked!
Ash: [singing like a Smurf] La la la-la la la, la la-la la la! La la la-la la la, la la-la la la!
Later on, Ash was helping Zee with her magic acts.
Zee: [in her magician's outfit] [as fireworks went off] Ta-da!
Sylveon: [posing] SYLVEON!
Ash: [applauding] [eyes sparkle] Awesome!
Pikachu: [applauding] PIKA PIKA!
Zee: Thank you! Thank you! You're too kind!
Sylveon: SYLVEON SYLVE!
Ash: Fantastic as always, Zee Zee!
Zee: Thanks, Ashykins!
Then...
Ash's Rotom Phone: [buzzing] You have a call from Babs! You have a call from Babs!
Ash: Huh? [pouts] Aw man! I was enjoying my favorite magician's magic!
Zee: No worries, Ashykins! It's probably important anyway!
Ash: Alright, Zee! I'll do it for you! [answers his Rotom Phone] Hey, Babs! What's up?
Babs: Oh, nothing! Just that one of your girls, Tatsu, just texted from Diana's phone, saying that she needs help!
Ash: [gasps] I'm on my way!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKACHU!
Ash: [after hanging up] Sorry, Zee! Tatsu needs some help and it sounds bad!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Zee: No worries, Ashykins! [kisses his cheek] Just be careful, okay?
Ash: Gotcha! [leaves] Love you, my beautiful magic girl!
Zee: Love you too, my handsome sweetie pie! [blows Ash a kiss] Mwah!
After he left, Zee romantically sighed and fell backwards onto her bed.
Zee: How I love that man! I wish we could be a lot closer than we are now! I can just imagine what our future would be like!
[vision starts]
Ash (grown-up, vision): [walking in the door, wearing a business suit] Honey! I'm home!
Zee (grown-up, vision): [coming in from the kitchen with an apron on and a small baby bump] Welcome home, sweetie! Do you want dinner or a warm bath? Or maybe, [in monotone] you...want...me!
[image just shows of Ash just doing "the thing" with Zee]
Ash (grown-up, vision): I'll have you for dinner, in the bath!
Zee: [moans in pleasure] Oh! You're so greedy, Ashykins!
[vision ends]
Zee: [blushes madly] Mmmmmmmmmmmm! [covers her face with her hands, rolls back and forth on the bed] I just can't take it! The thought of us being a family makes me all giddy!
Meanwhile, Ash had contacted Lillie, Gladion, Goh, Cilan, Raye, Mina, and Michelle about the situation! Soon, they arrived at the all girls academy! Lucky for them, the girls had the right uniform! But unlucky for the guys, they had to stay out of school since they're boys! When the girls entered the academy, they were impressed by the interior, except for Kara.
Babs: [gasp]
Raye: This looks interesting!
Mina: I'll say!
Michelle: It's very quaint!
Lillie: Indeed!
Vulpix (Snowy): [agreeing] VUL!
That's when Tatsu showed up, as she pushed them along.
Tatsu: Are you girls trying to blow my cover? Headmaster McDougal will suspect me immediately if he sees unauthorized visitors.
Lillie: Unauthorized?! Would that mean we'd be trespassing?!
Headmaster McDougal: Stop right there!
Raye: [gasps]
Headmaster McDougal: [in Scottish accent] What, pray tell, is going on here?
Babs: Just seven happy McDougal students being totally ordinary and normal.
Headmaster McDougal: Ordinary and normal in my school is authorized uniforms only. [points at her Batman shoelaces] Those are a dress code violation, and therefore, contraband!
Babs: But, but, these are hand-made, hand-stitched, one of a kind... [as Tatsu elbows her] Ow! ...Batman shoelaces.
Headmaster McDougal: These are mine now, young lady.
Babs: [whimpers] [hands him the shoelaces]
Mina didn't like his attitude.
Mina: [whispers, sarcastically] Nice attitude with a touch of a British accented speech impediment!
Headmaster McDougal: What was that, young lass?!
Mina: [nervous] Uh, nothing!
Watchog: [beside him] WATCHOG!
Lillie: Oh my! A Watchog!
Vulpix (Snowy): VULPIX!
Babs: [as she pulls out her Rotom Phone] Watchog, huh?
Babs' Rotom Phone: Watchog, the Lookout Pokémon. A Normal type. When they see an enemy, their tails stand high, and they spit the seeds of berries stored in their cheek pouches.
Babs: That sounds intriguing!
Michelle: Mr. McDougal, is it yours?
Headmaster McDougal: Indeed!
Watchog then took notice to Snowy.
Vulpix (Snowy): VUL?
Watchog: [Leer move] HOG!
Vulpix (Snowy): [scared] VUL! [hides its face in Lillie's chest] VULPIX VUL!
Lillie: Snowy!
That made Lillie cross!
Lillie: Look what your Watchog did! It scared my little Snowy!
Vulpix (Snowy): [scared] VULPIX!
Headmaster McDougal: Now now, Watchog! Be nicely!
Watchog: WATCH!
Headmaster McDougal: [to Babs] I make the rules here and everything under this roof is mine, if I so choose. Your next offense will be your last!
Later on, the girls were in Tatsu's dorm room.
Tatsu: This academy used to be a castle in Scotland belonging to the headmaster's cruel ancestor Bevin McDougal. Years ago it was moved to Metropolis brick by brick and rebuilt.
Lillie: You got the cruel part right!
Vulpix (Snowy): VUL!
Tatsu: Indeed. Apparently, cruelty runs in the family.
Raye: You could say that again!
Lillie: He's really mean!
Vulpix (Snowy): VULPIX!
Mina: Yeah! That lousy Watchog scared poor Snowy!
Raye: And he took Babs' special Batman shoelaces!
Babs: I know! [tearing up] I really worked hard on those!
Rockruff (Ace Jr.): [barking at the window] ROCKRUFF!
Babs: What is it, boy?
When Michelle opened the window, a person wearing a hood jumped in.
Tatsu: [gasps] Spy! Who are you?!
Ash: [takes his hood off] [smiles] Someone who loves you.
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Tatsu: [gasps] Ash!
She then ran over and hugged him.
Tatsu: I am so happy to see you! But what are you doing here? You know this is an all girls school! And if Headmaster McDougal caught you breaking the rules, he won't be very happy!
Ash: Babs told me you needed help! So I brought back up! Hoopa!
Hoopa [appearing from a ring portal] Alléhooparing!
Ash: Bring Goh, Cilan, and Gladion over!
Hoopa: Leave it to Hoopa! Bringing over friends! Alléhooparing!
Then...
Goh: We're ready!
Gladion: And willing!
Cilan: And able!
Goh: So, Tatsu? We're dealing with some headmaster who's a complete jerk?
Kara: Yeah! We're gonna rough him up, or something?
Gladion: I highly doubt that's the reason.
Tatsu: No. Every girl in this school has lost some meaningful item. I suspect a haunting.
Ash and Lillie: [at the same time] A haunting?!
Pikachu: PIKA?!
Vulpix (Snowy): VUL?!
Hoopa: Ooh! That's bad! Uh, what's a haunting?
Tatsu: A dark force has come to McDougal Academy. Each night as the halls fall empty, her nightly watch begins. When the bell tolls midnight, the spirit awakens.
[bell tolling]
Tatsu: She stalks the halls, ransacks our rooms. No one knows for what she is searching, only that her vengeful cry has shaken this campus to its core. The scream that has earned her the name...
Silver Banshee: [screeching]
Tatsu: Silver Banshee.
Ash: [shivers] [to Goh] This is scarier than the "Gengar's Curse" story you told me!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Goh: But that was because we only just met Gengar! And it was only playing pranks!
Michelle: What more can you tell us, Tatsu?
Tatsu: I've been fighting the specter, hoping to imprison her in Soultaker, but I have no luck. That is why I contacted Diana. [notices Kara picking her earwax and sniffing it, much to her disgust]
She then went over to Ash and took his hands and smiled.
Tatsu: But now that you're here, I will have more friends to fight this evil spirit!
Ash: Yeah! I'm always willing to help my girls, Tatsu!
Tatsu: I know you are! [kisses his cheek]
Babs: Forget Diana. Does she have... a Bat Thermal Scanner? Bat EMF Detector, Bat White Sheet Grabber?
Goh: Wow, Babs! You sure are prepared!
Babs: Exactly! Now, let's go hunt some ghosts.
Kara: Hold on. That's why we're here? [laughing] You two actually believe in ghosts?
Tatsu: Um, I literally turned you into one.
Raye: And we've still haven't gotten over that!
Mina: [shivers]
Lillie: Wait! That actually happened?!
Cilan: How much have we missed?
Ash: Like I said! Strange things happen in Metropolis!
Kara: That's hardly proof.
Tatsu: Yes, it is!
Kara: Whatever. All right, but look, if if will be hilarious to watch you two be dummies, and it will... Count me in.
Goh: [sweat drops] Uh, right! But the question is, how are we going to find this Silver Banshee anyway?
Cilan: Leave that to me! Because I'm not just a Pokémon Connoisseur or a Fishing Connoisseur! [puts on a detective hat and pulls out a magnifying glass] I'm also a proud detective!
Babs: [gasps] [eyes sparkle] You're a detective too?!
Cilan: Indeed!
Ash: But just in case, Hoopa, can you send over Rotom Dex?
Hoopa: Leave it to Hoopa! Alléhooparing!
Rotom Dex: [coming out of the Ring Portal] Here I am!
Ash: Hey, Rotom!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Rotom Dex: Hello, Ash! What can I do for you?
Ash: There seems to be a haunting at this academy, and we're gonna need more than one detective for this!
Rotom Dex: In that case! [puts on his Laki wig] Alolan Detective Rotom, reporting for detective duty!
Cilan's eyes widened with excitement!
Cilan: You're also a detective?!
Rotom Dex: [proud emoji on his screen] Indeed I am!
Cilan: Incredible!
Ash: Good thing I also brought along the right Pokémon for the job! [tosses PokéBall] Come on out, Gengar!
Gengar: [appearing] GENGAR!
Goh: Hey, it's Gengar!
Cinderace: CINDERACE!
Ash: Good to see you again, Gengar!
Gengar: GENGAR GEN!
Ash: We're gonna need your help, Gengar! Tatsu's school is haunted and we've gotta take down the evil ghost! And if anyone's good at looking through haunted places, it's you!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Gengar: [happy to help] GENGAR GEN!
Michelle: Perhaps Hoopa can help as well! After all, it is a Ghost type just like Gengar!
Hoopa: Hoopa willing to assist!
Ash: [to Gladion] You in Gladion, or what?
Gladion: I'm willing to help too!
Babs: Yes! [squeaks her gadget] Now, let's go hunt some ghosts!
Ash and Mina: Yeah!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Soon, the hunt began, as Babs scanned the area with her goggles, while Cilan and Rotom Dex searched for clues.
Cilan: Hmmmmmmmmm.
Rotom Dex: [scanning] Scanning! Scanning! Scanning!
Ash noticed Michelle was looking a little scared.
Ash: Michelle? Are you okay?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Michelle: A little!
Ash: [smiles] Don't worry! I'll protect you! Just stay close to me!
Michelle: Okay!
She then hugged his arm.
Ash: [giggles]
Pikachu: PIKA!
Michelle: You're really brave, Ashy! [kisses his cheek]
Ash: [chuckles] I guess you could say that!
Babs: Guys! Focus! We gotta find that ghostie!
[crunching]
Goh: [a little scared] O-Or maybe it'll find us!
Cinderace: [scared] RACE!
Turns out, Kara was just eating potato chips.
Kara: [crunching]
Ash: No! It's only Kara!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Kara: What? I got hungry!
Babs and Tatsu: [shushes]
That's when Cilan and Rotom Dex got a clue.
Cilan: You guys!
Rotom Dex: We found a clue!
[scanner beeping]
They then entered what seemed to be one of Headmaster McDougal's rooms.
Babs: Lots of activity in here.
Kara: Wow! You guys are really into this. [piles chips into her mouth]
Tatsu: [snatches her chips] Kara, you must take this seriously.
Gladion: She's right! This is no time for foolishness!
Lillie: Yes! We must focus on the task at hand!
Vulpix (Snowy): [agreeing] VULPIX VUL!
Kara: Okay, yeah, yeah. Totally serious. [pulls out her phone] In fact, I'm going to document all this ghost activity and you doofuses. [laughing]
Suddenly, the bagpipes on the wall started moving!
Ash: Whoa!
Raye: Oh!
Pikachu: PIKA?!
Gengar: GENGAR?!
Ash: Gengar, Shadow Ball!
Gengar: [Shadow Ball move] GEN...GAR!
However, "the bagpipes" seemed to dodge!
Gengar: GAR?!
Babs and Tatsu: [both whimpering] [teeth clattering]
Kara: [turns around] Huh?
When she turned back around, they were back on the wall!
Kara: [shrugs] Hmm.
Ash: Okay! This is getting weird!
Goh: You can say that again!
Lillie: But how can bagpipes dodge like that?
Gladion: Guess we better keep looking!
Suddenly, they heard sudden movement!
Mina: What was that?!
Purrloin: [appearing from the shadows] PURRLOIN.
Ash: Phew! It's just a Purrloin!
But when Cilan saw Purrloin...
Cilan: EEK! Anything but a Purrloin!
Babs: Huh?
Kara: Hold on, Cilan! You're not telling us you're afraid of that Purrloin?!
Cilan: [scared] [nods] Hmhmm! It's true!
Kara: [snickers] Oh man! That's too rich!
Then...
? (Mimikins): KYU KYU!
Ash: Huh?
Pikachu: PIKA?
The group looked and saw a black Mimikyu, but it was floating!
Kara: A Mimikyu?
Babs: But this one looks different! And it's floating!
Ash: [gasps] Hold on! Is that...?!
Kara: Let me guess! You know this floating Mimikyu?
? (Acerola): Mimikins!
Ash: [gasps]
And Mimikins went over to...
Ash and Lillie: Acerola!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Vulpix (Snowy): VUL!
Acerola: Huh? Why, it's Ash and Lillie!
Ash: [as he and Lillie went over to her] Good to see you!
Acerola: Likewise!
Tatsu: Who is your friend, my love?
Ash: Oh yeah! Guys, I'd like you to meet a friend of ours from Alola!
Acerola: Hi there! My name is Acerola! And this is my friend, Mimikins! Nice to meet you all!
Mimikins: [greeting] KYU KYU!
Babs: Nice to meet you too, Acerola! My name's Barbara Gordon, but everyone calls me Babs! And this is Kara, Tatsu, Raye, Mina, Michelle, Goh, Gladion and Cilan!
Acerola: Nice to meet you all! [to Lillie] And of course I've already met your brother, Lillie!
Lillie: Of course!
Ash: What brings you to Metropolis, Acerola?
Acerola: One word! Arceus! And once I arrived here, I overheard about a school being haunted! So, Mimikins and I decided to go and investigate! Right, Mimikins?
Mimikins: [nodding] KYU!
Ash: That's what we're doing too! Maybe we can work together!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Acerola: Yeah! After all, [pulls out two PokéBalls] I brought some of my own Ghosts to help us out [tosses PokéBalls]!
Shuppet: [appearing] SHUPPET!
Gengar (Rapooh): [snickering] GEN! [while sticking its tongue out and acting scary] GENGAR GAR GAR GAR GAR GAR GAR!
Babs: [gasps] Wow! You have a Gengar too?!
Acerola: Of course! Only this Gengar's called "Greedy Rapooh"!
Gengar (Rapooh): [snickering] GEN! [while sticking its tongue out and acting scary] GENGAR GAR GAR GAR GAR GAR GAR!
Babs: It's big!
Acerola then noticed Ash's Gengar.
Acerola: Wow! You have a Gengar too! And one in a lighter shade of purple!
Ash: Yep!
Acerola: That's amazing!
Gengar: [greeting Greedy Rapooh] GENGAR!
Gengar (Rapooh): GENGAR!
Kara then turned to Shuppet.
Kara: Whoa! [as she pulls out her Rotom Phone] Who's that Pokémon?
Kara's Rotom Phone: Shuppet, the Puppet Pokémon. A Ghost type. Shuppet grows by feeding on dark emotions, such as vengefulness and envy, in the hearts of people. It roams through cities in search of grudges that taint people.
Kara: [as she looks at Tatsu] That kinda relates to a certain someone I know!
Ash: [sternly] Kara!
Kara: What?! You know it's true! Sort of!
However, Babs seemed to be cuddling it.
Babs: It's so cute!
Shuppet: [happy] SHUPPET!
Kara: You actually think that's cute?!
Babs: Of course! Why wouldn't I?
Acerola: I can sense that the spirit is around here somewhere!
Ash: Then let's find it!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Tatsu: Indeed!
Cilan: The hunt continues!
Goh: But first! [tosses PokéBall] Go!
Purrloin: [hit by PokéBall] LOIN!
The Purrloin got sucked into the PokéBall! And with a few shakes and a 'ping'...
Goh's Rotom Phone: Purrloin has been registered to your Pokédex!
Goh: Alright! I caught a Purrloin!
Kara was making a video, but books were flying around her and when Babs and Tatsu tried to get her attention, the books went back on the shelf! Kara looked in a closet, she found nothing, much to our heroes' relief! But they couldn't stay relieved for long, because all of the furniture came to life and started chasing them. And Tatsu even jumped into Ash's arms in fear!
Ash: You alright, Tatsu?!
Tatsu: Not really! I'm scared!
Ash: Don't worry! I'll keep you safe! I promise!
That was when Kara closed the door and everything went on the floor!
Kara: There, you see? [chuckles] You guys. Ah! This is boring. I'm still hungry.
[phone beeps]
Kara: I'll be back, oh, unless the ghost gets me. [cackles]
Babs: You saw that, right?
Tatsu: Um-hmm.
Ash: [strokes her hair] It's okay, Tatsu! I got you!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Tatsu: [buries her face into Ash's chest] [scared whimpers] Mmm!
Ash: [strokes her hair] Shh! Don't worry! I'll keep you safe!
Acerola: What does she know anyway?! Shuppet, see if you can find the ghost!
Shuppet: [nods] SHUP! [Foresight move] SHUPPET!
Shuppet shined its Foresight around the room.
[ghost screeching]
[window shatters]
Ash: Quick, Gengar! Use Night Shade!
Gengar: [Night Shade move] GENGAR!
However, the ghost dodged and escaped!
[screeching continues]
Goh: There it goes!
Babs: Get it!
Ash: Right! [to Tatsu] Do you want me to carry you?
Tatsu: I appreciate it, but not right now! [kisses his cheek]
Ash: Gotcha! Let's move!
Then, they chased after the ghost!
However, they bumped into Kara and landed on their backsides.
Babs: Did you see it?
Kara: Totally. See what?
Lillie and Rotom Dex: The ghost!
Raye: Don't tell me you lost sight of it, Danvers?!
Kara: Lost sight of what?
Mina: [facepalms] Ugh!
Gladion: Sometimes, you're impossible!
[door opens, closes]
Babs: Huh?
They then came to a section of the hallway that splits three ways.
Babs: [hands them all communicators] Here. Let's split up. Whoever finds the ghost first, contacts the group. Got it? [Kara and Tatsu nod]
Ash: Okay!
Goh and Gladion: [nods] Hm!
Raye and Mina: Right!
Lillie, Cilan, Acerola, Michelle and Rotom Dex: Understood!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Gengar: GENGAR!
Cinderace: CINDER!
Vulpix (Snowy): VUL!
Mimikins: KYU KYU!
Hoopa: Hoopa understand!
Ash: [to Kara] Kara, bring out Incineroar! Dark types have an advantage against ghosts!
Kara: Right!
She then took out a PokéBall.
Kara: [tosses it] Go, Incineroar!
Incineroar: [appearing] INCINEROAR!
Kara: Incineroar! You're with me on this!
Incineroar: [flexes] ROAR!
Ash: Alright! Move out, gang!
And they did just that, as Kara seemed to be going another way.
Kara: [scoffs]
Incineroar: CINE?
["Who's That Pokémon?" time]
[as a silhouette shows a shadow Pokémon]
Ash, Goh, Lillie, Gladion, Cilan, Acerola, Babs, Kara, Tatsu, Raye, Mina, and Michelle: Who's that Pokémon?
Ash, Goh, Lillie, Gladion, Cilan, Acerola, Babs, Kara, Tatsu, Raye, Mina, and Michelle: It's Gengar!
[as the silhouette reveals Gengar]
Gengar: GENGAR GEN!
[End]
Ash, Lillie, Gladion, Goh, Cilan, Acerola, Rotom Dex, and Hoopa were currently searching for the ghost.
Ash: Here, ghostie ghostie ghostie! We don't wanna hurt you! We just wanna talk!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
[ghost screeching]
Goh: There it is!
Soon, it was on the move!
Rotom Dex: And there it goes!
Acerola: After it!
Elsewhere, Kara was in the kitchen, fixing something to eat.
Babs: [on radio] East Wing commons, all clear. Yamashiro, report.
Tatsu: [on radio] Nothing so far.
Babs: [on radio] Danvers, any paranormal activity?
Kara: [sarcastically] Totally, dude. There's like... Whoa, wow! There's like tons of paranormal. Oh, no! Guys, it's right here, guys. Guys, the ghost is right in front of me. [fake screams] I can't believe what I'm seeing.
However, an unknown force seemed to be making her sandwich!
Babs: [on radio] Oh, gee, really?
Tatsu: [on radio] We're on our way. Stay calm.
Kara: [takes a bite of her sandwich] [chuckles] [pulls her phone out] This will be the most epic thing on MetropoVids.
Incineroar: [facepalms] [telling Kara she's impossible] INCIN INCINEROAR.
Kara: Eh, keep your fur on, Incineroar! There's no such thing as ghosts!
As Kara started recording, the others showed up, as Babs' and Tatsu's faces changed to expressions of fear!
Babs and Tatsu: [both scream]
Ash and Goh: Oh no!
Kara: [laughs] This is classic. All right, here they are, internet. These two actually thought there was a...
When she turned her phone's camera around, the ghost was right behind her!
Incineroar: [shocked] INCINEROAR!
Kara: [gasps] Ghost!
Silver Banshee: [screeching]
Silver Banshee sent sonic scream waves towards the heroes, piling them against the door!
Tatsu: This is it.
Babs, Kara, and Tatsu then suited up into Batgirl, Supergirl, and Katana!
Ash: Aura up!
And Ash transformed into Aura Guardian!
Acerola: Whoa! How much have I missed since I last saw Ash?
Aura Guardian: Long story! I go by Aura Guardian! [to Raye, Mina, and Michelle] Ready, girls?
Raye, Mina and Michelle: Yeah!
Raye: Mars Crystal Power!
Mina: Venus Crystal Power!
Michelle: Neptune Planet Power!
The girls then transformed into Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus, and Sailor Neptune!
Acerola: Okay! Someone needs to fill me in on this later! But right now, it's battle time! Rapooh, use Shadow Ball!
Gengar (Rapooh): [Shadow Ball move] GEN...GAR!
However, Silver Banshee dodged!
Silver Banshee: [screeching]
Supergirl distracted the ghost girl by flying past her and dodging her sonic screams. Katana than slashed energy from her sword, however...
Silver Banshee: [screeching]
Silver Banshee's shriek overpowered Soultaker's energy!
Katana: [gasps]
Aura Guardian: No way!
Goh: Impossible!
Lillie: It's way too strong!
Hoopa: What will we do?!
Supergirl: [yelling]
When Supergirl tried to charge at her, she ended up going right through the ghost and hitting a wall!
Supergirl: [groans]
Incineroar: [asking if she's okay] INCINEROAR?!
Supergirl: Yeah! I'm good!
Incineroar: [turns to Silver Banshee] [angry] CIN! [Flamethrower move] INCINEROAR!
But the ghost ended up dodging the attack!
Incineroar: ROAR?!
Supergirl: WHAT?! No way!
Aura Guardian: [fires Aura Spheres] HA!
Silver Banshee: [screeches in pain]
Aura Guardian: That got her!
Then...
Silver Banshee: [screeching]
And then...
Yamask (Unova and Galar) (multiple): [appearing] YAMASK!
Aura Guardian: [gasps] Yamask!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Goh: Unovan and Galarian!
Cinderace: CINDERACE!
Supergirl: Silly name for a group of ghosts! [as she pulls out her Rotom Phone] But seeing as how they look different, it must be apart of a Regional Variant thing!
Kara's Rotom Phone: Yamask, the Spirit Pokémon. A Ghost type. These Pokémon arose from the spirits of people interred in graves in past ages. Each retains memories of its former life.
Supergirl: Okay! Now, what can you tell about the Regional Variant?
Kara's Rotom Phone: Yamask, Galarian Form. The Spirit Pokémon. A Ground and Ghost type. A clay slab with cursed engravings took possession of a Yamask. The slab is said to be absorbing the Yamask's dark power.
Supergirl: Huh. Interesting!
Yamask (Unova and Galarian) (multiple): [Shadow Ball move] YAM!
Aura Guardian: They're about to use Shadow Ball!
Acerola: Not if we can help it!
Aura Guardian and Acerola: Use Shadow Ball!
Ash's Gengar and Gengar (Rapooh): [Shadow Ball move] GEN...GAR!
Yamask (Unova and Galarian) (multiple): [pained] MASK!
Aura Guardian: Alright!
Goh: Cinderace, use...
Cinderace: [Double Kick move] CINDER...
Goh: No wait!
Cinderace: [stops] ACE?
However, Double Kick had no effect!
Goh: Fighting type moves won't have any effect on a Ghost type like Yamask!
Cinderace: [facepalms at its own mistake] RACE!
Lillie: Snowy and I have an advantage over the Galarian Yamask! Snowy, Powder Snow!
Vulpix (Snowy): [Powder Snow move] VUL...PIX!
Yamask (Galarian): [pained] YAM!
Aura Guardian: Nice work, Lillie!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
But they weren't in the clear yet!
Silver Banshee: [screeching]
Then, some more Ghost Pokémon that looked like something out of a tea set appeared!
Sinistea (multiple): SINISTEA!
Polteageist: POLTEAGEIST!
Aura Guardian: [gasps] What are they?!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Goh: [as he pulls out his Rotom Phone] Pokémon that look like something out of a tea set?!
Goh's Rotom Phone: Sinistea, the Black Tea Pokémon. A Ghost type. It absorbs the life-force of those who drink it. It waits patiently, but opportunities are fleeting. It tastes so bad that it gets spat out immediately. [changes to Polteageist] Polteageist, the Black Tea Pokémon. A Ghost type, and the evolved form of Sinistea. When angered, it launches tea from its body at the offender's mouth. The tea causes strong chills if swallowed.
Goh: Sinistea and Polteageist. Weird names!
Aura Guardian: We're gonna need more help!
Katana: Right! [tosses Pokéball] Doublade! To battle!
Doublade: [appearing] DOUBLADE!
Sinistea (multiple): [Shadow Ball move] SINIS...TEA!
Katana: Use Night Slash!
Doublade: [Night Slash move] DOUB...BLADE!
Sinistea (multiple): [pained] SINISTEA!
Polteageist: [Shadow Sneak move] POL...TEA!
Doublade: [hit] DOUB!
Katana: Doublade, no!
Aura Guardian: Oh yeah?! Gengar, use Night Shade!
Ash's Gengar: [Nightshade move] GENGAR!
Polteageist: [pained] POLTEA!
Yamask (Unova): [Shock Wave move] YAM...
Batgirl: [tosses PokéBall] Ace Jr., use Bite!
Rockruff (Ace Jr.): [appearing] [Bite move] RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUFF!
Yamask (Unova): [pained] YAMASK!
Batgirl: Good job, Ace Jr.!
Rockruff (Ace Jr.): RUFF!
Hoopa: [attacking] Hoopa, attack! [using Dark Pulse] Dark Pulse!
Yamask (Unova) (multiple): [pained] YAMASK!
Supergirl: Incineroar, Darkest Lariat!
Incineroar: [Darkest Lariat move] IN...CINEROAR!
Yamask (Galarian) (multiple): [pained] YAMASK!
Acerola: Rapooh, use Shadow Ball!
Gengar (Rapooh): [Shadow Ball move] GENGAR!
Sinistea (multiple): [pained] SINISTEA!
Gladion: [tosses PokéBall] Now, Zoroark!
Zoroark: [appearing] HARK!
Gladion: [pulls out his Z-Ring] Time for our Z-Move!
Zoroark: [determined] HARK!
Goh: Wait! He can use Z-Moves too?!
Batgirl: And his Z-Ring is red!
Aura Guardian: Go for it, Gladion!
He then took out a Ghostium Z!
Gladion: [starts posing] Night of the new moon! In its dusky gloom wanders the eternal traveler that you must become!
Zoroark: HARK!
Ash's Gengar: [awed] GENGAR!
Gladion: Now, use Never-Ending Nightmare!
Zoroark: [Never-Ending Nightmare Z-Move] HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK!
Then...
Supergirl: What's happening?!
The battlefield then changed into a dark nightmarish place and many dark hands emerged from the ground!
Batgirl: [jumps into Ash's arms] ZOINKS!
The dark hands charged towards the Ghost types!
The Ghost types tried to evade, but there were too many hands! Soon, they were all defeated!
Aura Guardian: Alright!
Goh: And now! [tosses four PokéBalls at Yamask, Galarian Yamask, Sinistea and Polteageist] Go!
The four Ghost types were then sucked in! And with a few shakes and a 'ping'...
Goh's Rotom Phone: Yamask has been registered to your Pokédex! Yamask, Galarian Form, has been registered to your Pokédex! Sinistea and Polteageist have been registered to your Pokédex!
Goh: Alright! The four for one Ghost type package is mine!
Cinderace: [happy] CINDERACE!
The rest of the Yamask and Sinistea fled, not wanting to get caught too.
Sailor Mars: That scared them off!
Aura Guardian: Now, let's take down the general!
Silver Banshee: [screeches]
Aura Guardian: Let's do this!
Aura Guardian started firing more Aura Spheres.
Sailor Mars: Mars Celestial Fire...Surround!
Sailor Venus: Venus Crescent Beam Smash!
Sailor Neptune: Neptune Deep Submerge!
Then, the attacks combined into one attack and hit the Silver Banshee!
Silver Banshee: [screeches in pain]
Aura Guardian: It's working!
Silver Banshee: [screeches] [launches a sonic scream at him]
Aura Guardian: WAH!
Batgirl: Aura, no!
Katana immediately rushed over to him!
Katana: Aura! Are you alright, my love?
Aura Guardian: [groans] Don't worry! I've been through worse!
Just as Silver Banshee was about to attack again...
Batgirl: Hey!
Batgirl seemed to be wielding a ghost vac.
Batgirl: Eat highly-focused, and radially-polarized proton, sucka!
However, it misfired, and she was flying across the room.
Batgirl: [yelping]
Aura Guardian and Goh: [sweat drops] Oh brother!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Cinderace: CINDERACE!
Lillie: Don't worry, Batgirl!
Gladion: Never give up!
Cilan: That's right!
Rotom Dex: Try again!
Silver Banshee: Hmm.
While Silver Banshee was distracted, Katana used her sword and fired its magic at her, as she absorbed the spirit of Silver Banshee!
Silver Banshee: [screeching]
Katana: Whoa! We actually did it.
Aura Guardian: One ghostie in the bag!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Lillie: Well done!
Vulpix (Snowy): VUL!
Goh: Mission accomplished!
Then, Silver Banshee's spirit in Soultaker started to glow and speak!
Siobhan: No, this is not justice.
That's when the spirit of Silver Banshee appeared in Katana's vision, revealing the spirit of a beautiful girl.
Siobhan: Your sword has imprisoned my soul, ghost hunter. Now, it shall help me tell my tale. [as a flashback played] My name was once Siobhan McDougal, the eldest child in an ancient line. When my father died, I became leader of Castle Broen and of all of clan McDougal. But Bevin McDougal was not interested in taking orders from his sister. He wanted the clan for himself.
Then, the flashback showed Siobhan running from her brother to the top of the tower, on a dark and stormy night.
Siobhan: [gasps]
Bevin had caught up to her and...
[bell tolls]
Siobhan: [screaming]
Her own brother had thrown her off of the very top of the tower and into the ocean, killing her, making him the leader of the clan.
Siobhan: I returned in spirit to find my home was gone, and searched the world until I found it here. But I can't rest until I have back what's mine.
Katana: [whimpers]
Lillie: Are you alright, Katana?
Vulpix (Snowy): VUL?
Katana: We've made a terrible mistake.
Goh: We have?!
Katana: I know where to find what she has been searching for.
Aura Guardian: I saw it all...
Pikachu: PIKA?
Lillie: You have?
Aura Guardian: [growls] I saw Siobhan's past with my Aura! Bevin McDougal took away the life of his sister, just so he could rule the clan!
Pikachu: [gasps] PIKA!
Acerola: [gasps] That's awful!
Mimikins: [agreeing] KYU KYU!
Goh: [angry] That monster!
Cinderace: [angry] CINDERACE!
Lillie: [gasps] [faints]
Gladion: [catches her] I gotcha!
Vulpix (Snowy): [worried] VULPIX VUL!
Gladion: Lillie, I want you to know, that I will never do something so awful and cruel to you as Bevin did to Siobhan. Not in a lifetime.
Aura Guardian: Anyway, we gotta help the spirit, so it can rest in peace!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Aura Guardian: [to Katana] Katana, when we find headmaster McDougal, I'm gonna give him more than a few choice words!
Katana just smiled at his determination and seriousness and kissed him on the lips.
Katana: I am willing to help you in any way I can!
Meanwhile, Headmaster McDougal was filing some paperwork in his office, just as the heroes barged in.
Headmaster McDougal: [yelps] What is the meaning of this?!
[SMACK!]
Aura Guardian had smacked the headmaster across the face!
Everyone except Aura Guardian: [gasps]
Goh: WHOA!
Cinderace: [awed] CINDER!
Supergirl: Whohohoa!
Lillie and Acerola: Oh my!
Batgirl and Gladion: Whoa!
Cilan and Katana: My word!
Hoopa: Hoopa shocked!
Rotom Dex: [showing a shocked emoji on his screen]
Sailor Neptune: [puts her gloved hands on her cheeks] Oh my!
Sailor Venus: Jinkies!
Sailor Mars: Whoa!
Pikachu: [shocked] PIKACHU!
Ash's Gengar: [awed] GENGAR!
Gengar (Rapooh): [shocked] GEN?!
Mimikins: [shocked] KYU KYU!
Rockruff (Ace Jr.): [amazed] [eyes sparkle] RUFF!
Vulpix (Snowy): VUL?!
Incineroar: [awed] ROAR!
Zoroark: [awed] HARK!
Headmaster McDougal: Ouch! What praytell did you do that for, ya scamp?!
Aura Guardian then grabbed the headmaster by the shirt collar. He was not happy!
Aura Guardian: Why don't you tell me exactly what you did wrong, Mister "I don't wanna take orders from a girl"?!
Headmaster McDougal: What are you talking about?!
Aura Guardian: I don't know! Maybe it has something to do with your ancestors and the death of Siobhan!
Rotom Dex: Indeed! The culprit is you! You're responsible for these hauntings!
Headmaster McDougal: What?!
Rotom Dex: You are responsible for the death of Siobhan and now, she's come for revenge!
Cilan: That's right! As they say in those detective films, "The jig is up!
Batgirl: [eyes sparkle] Spoken like true detectives!
Rockruff (Ace Jr.): [eyes sparkle] ROCKRUFF!
Aura Guardian: [goes over to Katana] [smiles] Whenever you're ready, Katana.
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Katana: As you wish, my love! [kisses his cheek]
Supergirl: Are you sure about this?
Katana: What we have done is not justice. She must find it herself.
Acerola: I agree!
Katana then released Siobhan's spirit from her sword.
Goh: So that's what Siobhan really looks like!
Cinderace: [awed] CINDER!
Lillie: She's beautiful!
Vulpix (Snowy): [awed] VUL...
Headmaster McDougal: [whimpering]
Silver Banshee: [screeches]
Head Master McDougal: [screaming]
Soon, Silver Banshee was pursuing her brother!
Gladion: Was that supposed to happen?
Aura Guardian: No! Let's move!
Soon, Silver Banshee had chased Headmaster McDougal to the top of the tower.
[bell tolling]
Then the heroes at arrived, witnessing what was happening.
Katana: [gasps]
Sailor Venus: Oh no!
Lillie: She's gonna push him off the tower like he did to her!
Vulpix (Snowy): [scared] VULPIX VUL!
Katana: Siobhan, please! This is not justice.
Aura Guardian: Siobhan! Listen to me!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Silver Banshee then turned to Aura Guardian.
Aura Guardian: I know how you feel about all of this! But revenge isn't the answer!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!
Aura Guardian: At least let him try and apologize for his mistakes!
Silver Banshee then saw the golden pin in his tie, as her anger started to consume her.
[flame roaring]
Katana: No!
Aura Guardian: NO!
Silver Banshee: [screeching]
Headmaster McDougal: [screaming]
However, instead of finishing him off, Silver Banshee showed him the vision of what he did to her in the past.
Siobhan: [screaming]
[bell tolls]
Headmaster McDougal: I'm sorry, I... [takes the pin off his tie] I didn't know. This is yours, as the rightful leader of the McDougal clan.
Siobhan smiled and took the golden pin and placed it onto her robe. Then she turned to Aura Guardian.
Siobhan: Thank you, Ash Ketchum!
Aura Guardian: Huh?
Siobhan: [takes his hands] Thank you for everything!
Aura Guardian: Aww, it was nothing!
Then, she kissed Ash on the cheek, much to his surprise!
Siobhan: A pity I'm no longer alive! Then, I would be your loved one!
Aura Guardian: [blushes] Oh! Uh, thanks!
Siobhan: My pleasure! [kisses his forehead] Farewell! [disappears]
Soon, she faded away.
Gladion: [to Headmaster McDougal] Go. Now!
Headmaster McDougal: [whimpers] [runs off]
Aura Guardian: [blushes] [as Goh playfully nudges him] Huh?
Goh: Looks like a ghostie tried to hook up with you!
Aura Guardian: [blushes] Very funny!
Katana then came over and hugged Aura Guardian.
Katana: Ash! That was very noble of you!
Aura Guardian: You really think so?
Katana: I know so!
Aura Guardian: Thanks, Katana!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Katana: And nobility is what I love about you! [kisses Ash on the lips]
And Ash returned it with equal passion! Suddenly, two mechanical hands shot out and grabbed Pikachu and Snowy!
Pikachu: [scared] PIKA!
Vulpix (Snowy): [scared] VUL!
Aura Guardian: Pikachu!
Lillie: Snowy!
Gladion: What's going on?!
Team Rocket: [evil laughter]
Jessie: Prepare for trouble, you're in for a fright!
James: And make it double, you know it's right!
Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!
James: To unite all people within our nation!
Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
James: To extend our reach to the stars above!
Jessie: Jessie!
James: And James!
Jessie: Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!
James: Surrender now or prepare for a fight!
Meowth: Meowth! That's right!
Wobbuffet: WOBBUFFET!
Mime Jr.: MIME MIME MIME!
Aura Guardian: Team Rocket!
Acerola: I thought I saw the last of you guys in Alola?!
James: You thought wrong, twerpette!
Meowth: And now, we've got two rare ones for the price of one!
Katana: YOU!
Jessie: Oh no!
James: It's that soul-stealing sword-wielding twerpette!
Jessie and James: [clinging each other in fear] KEEP HER AWAY FROM US!
Katana then used her sword to cut the mechanical hands in half, freeing Pikachu and Snowy.
Pikachu: [free] PIKA!
Vulpix (Snowy): [free] VUL!
Aura Guardian: [catches Pikachu] Pikachu! You're okay!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Lillie: [catches Snowy] Snowy! [hugs Snowy] Thank goodness!
Vulpix (Snowy): VULPIX!
Aura Guardian: [to Katana] Thank you, Katana!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Lillie: Yes! Thank you, Katana!
Vulpix (Snowy): VULPIX!
Katana: My pleasure!
Jessie: Don't celebrate yet, twerps! You still got some sore losers who don't take kindly to people who take back what we stole!
James: And now, you're going to pay the price!
Jessie: Ready...
James: And...
Jessie and James: [throwing their arms up in the air] Come on down!
Pelipper: [singing] PELIP PELIPPER! [drops the Rocket Prize Master]
And down came the Rocket Prize Master!
Meowth: [leaps] Charms away! [somersaults in the air and sticks his charm in the coin slot]
Jessie: Our secret...
James: [as James turns the crank] Rocket Prize...
Jessie and James: Master!
Meowth: Yahooey!
And out came two two PokéBalls!
Jessie and James: [as they toss the PokéBalls] Fresh from headquarters!
And out with two cards came...
Jessie: The Coffin Pokémon, Cofagrigus!
Cofagrigus: COFAGRIGUS!
James: And the Grudge Pokémon, Runerigus!
Runerigus: RUN!
Sailor Neptune: Oh my!
Batgirl: [as she and Supergirl pull out their Rotom Phones] Those must be the evolved forms of those two Yamask!
Babs' Rotom Phone: Cofagrigus, the Coffin Pokémon. A Ghost type, and the evolved form of Yamask. It has been said that they swallow those who get too close and turn them into mummies. They love to eat gold.
Batgirl's eyes bulged at this!
Batgirl: They turn people into mummies?! [gulps]
Kara's Rotom Phone: Runerigus, the Grudge Pokémon. A Ground and Ghost type, and the evolved form of Yamask, Galarian Form. Never touch its shadow-like body, or you'll be shown the horrific memories behind the picture carved into it.
Supergirl: Pft! Yeah right! [sarcastically] Ooh! I'm so scared!
James: You should be! Runerigus, use Hex!
Runerigus: [Hex move] RUNER!
Supergirl: Use Darkest Lariat!
Incineroar: [Darkest Lariat move] IN...CINEROAR!
Runerigus: [pained] RUN!
Gladion: [tosses PokéBall] Let's go, Umbreon! Use Dark Pulse!
Umbreon: [appearing] [Dark Pulse move] UMBRE...ON!
Jessie: Counter it with your Dark Pulse!
Cofagrigus: [Dark Pulse move] COFA...GRIGUS!
Both Dark Pulse attacks collided and then...
[explosion]
Aura Guardian: Pikachu, Thunderbolt! Gengar, Ice Punch!
Pikachu: [Thunderbolt move] PIKA...CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Ash's Gengar: [Ice Punch move] GEN...GAR!
Cofagrigus: [hit by Thunderbolt] COFA!
Runerigus: [hit by Ice Punch] IGUS!
Jessie: Oh yeah?!
Jessie and James: Use Night Shade!
Cofagrigus: [Night Shade move] COFAGRIGUS!
Runerigus: [Night Shade move] RUNERIGUS!
Aura Guardian: Use your Night Shade!
Ash's Gengar: [Night Shade move] GENGAR!
The Night Shade attacks collided with each other and Gengar was trying its best to push it back!
Batgirl: Ace Jr., use Rock Throw on Cofagrigus!
Rockruff (Ace Jr.): [Rock Throw move] RRRRRRRRRRRRRRUFF!
Cofagrigus: [pained] COFA!
Batgirl: Good boy, Ace Jr.!
Rockruff (Ace Jr.): [happy] RUFF RUFF!
Jessie: We'll show you, Bat Twerpette! Use Energy Ball!
Cofagrigus: [Energy Ball move] COFA...GRIGUS!
Rockruff (Ace Jr.): [pained] ROCK!
Batgirl: No, Ace Jr.!
Sailor Venus: [gasps] Cofagrigus knows a Grass type move?!
Jessie: [holding the card] Say so on the card!
Batgirl: Ace Jr. isn't done yet!
James: Yes it is! Runerigus, use Mean Look!
Runerigus: [Mean Look move] RIGUS!
The Mean Look made contact with Ace Jr.!
Rockruff (Ace Jr.): [unable to move] RUFF! RUFF!
Batgirl: Oh no! Ace Jr.!
James: Time for our secret move! Use Dragon Pulse!
Aura Guardian, Goh, Batgirl, and Supergirl: Dragon Pulse?!
Runerigus: [Dragon Pulse move] RUNER...IGUS!
Rockruff (Ace Jr.): [pained] ROCKRUFF!
Batgirl: Ace Jr.! No!
Rockruff (Ace Jr.): [struggling to get up] RUFF...
Batgirl: Come on, Ace Jr.! You can beat them! I know you can!
Jessie: Your little pooch might as well just stay down if it knows what's good for it, Bat Twerpette! It's obviously a weakling!
James: And we basically got this battle in the bag!
Meowth: That's what happens when you mess with three sore losers!
Batgirl: You're wrong! My Ace Jr. will never give up because I believe in my Pokémon!
Rockruff (Ace Jr.): [gasps] RUFF! [gets up] [determined] [howls] ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
Then, a bright light washed over Ace Jr., indicating one thing!
Jessie: What light!
Batgirl: AJ?!
Aura Guardian: Ace Jr. is evolving!
And he was right! And when the process was complete, in its place was...
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.) (Midnight Form): [howls] LYCANROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
Batgirl: [deep gasp]
Babs' Rotom Phone: Lycanroc, Midnight Form has been registered to your Pokédex!
Gladion: It actually evolved!
Aura Guardian: [eyes sparkle] And it's a Midnight Form!
Goh: [eyes sparkle] So cool!
Katana: Incredible!
Babs' Rotom Phone: Lycanroc, Midnight Form, the Wolf Pokémon. A Rock type, and the evolved form of Rockruff. They live alone without forming packs. They will only listen to orders from Trainers who can draw out their true power.
Batgirl: [with tears forming in her eyes] My little Ace Jr. is all grown up!
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [Snarl move] ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOC!
Cofagrigus and Runerigus: [pained] COFA/RUNER!
Gladion: It learned Snarl!
Umbreon: UMBREON!
Batgirl: Wow! That's great, Ace Jr.! Do it again, but with some more oomph!
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [smirks] ROC! [Snarl move] ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOC!
Cofagrigus and Runerigus: [pained] COFA/RUNER!
Batgirl: [checks her Rotom Phone] Looks like you learned more than one new move! Use Stone Edge!
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [Stone Edge move] ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW...ROC!
Cofagrigus and Runerigus: [pained] COFA/RUNER!
Aura Guardian: Alright! I think it's time for a Z-Move!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Batgirl: Go get'em, Aura!
Aura Guardian: Hold on, Batgirl! I meant you and Ace Jr.!
Batgirl: Me?!
Aura Guardian: Ace Jr. knows a Dark type move! Whaddya say?
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [determined] LYCANROC ROC!
Batgirl: Oh, why not! [pulls out her Z-Ring] Let's do this, AJ!
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [determined] LYCANROC!
Batgirl: [starts the pose as Ace Jr. copies] When there's a light, there's always a shadow! And in the dark of night, more shadows will lurk as they bring us the power of dark forces!
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): LYCANROC!
Batgirl: Now, use Black Hole Eclipse!
Lycanroc: [Black Hole Eclipse Z-Move] LYCANROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
Team Rocket: Uh oh!
[explosion]
Team Rocket: [flying] ROTTEN LUCK! WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!
Wobbuffet: WOBBUFFET!
Mime Jr.: MIME MIME!
[ding!]
Aura Guardian: We did it!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Batgirl ran up to Ace Jr. and hugged it!
Batgirl: [giggles] Congratulations, Ace Jr.! I'm so proud of my big boy!
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [happy] [proud] LYCANROC!
The next day, Headmaster McDougal had returned the all the stuff he confiscated from the girls at the academy. Tatsu and the girls were watching the glorious sight, along with the boys, who've been given special passes, courtesy of Tatsu.
Tatsu: Silver Banshee can finally rest. She found the justice she deserved.
Acerola: Thank goodness!
Babs: And I got my shoelaces back. Win-win.
She then hugged Ace Jr. and started to cuddle him.
Babs: And my little Ace Jr. finally evolved, which was worth the wait! Double win-win!
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [stoic] LY!
Ash: Huh?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Kara: I think Ace Jr. is acting like his pops!
Babs: My dog isn't AJ's dad! He's an older brother figure! [to Gladion] Gladion, why's my sweet Ace Jr. acting like this?
Gladion: It must be because this one has a sense for action and is usually stoic! Some Pokémon's personality can change after evolving!
Babs: [sad] Oh... I see.
However...
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [licks her cheek] LY.
Babs: Huh?
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [smirks] LYCAN.
Babs: Oh! [hugs it] I love you too, AJ!
Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [hugs her back] LYCANROC.
Babs: And it still cares about me! Triple win-win!
Kara: And everyone else got their stuff back. Old headmaster McSnatchy Pants sure seems to have changed his ways.
Incineroar: [nods] CINE!
Goh: He sure has!
Ash: Yeah! I'm sure glad everything is okay and back to normal!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Tatsu: [to Kara] Will you now admit you believe in ghosts?
Kara: Nah, I mean it's all smoke and mirrors.
Ash: [chuckles] Oh, Kara!
Tatsu: And you, Ash! [hugs him] Thank you for everything!
Ash: [hugs her back] Aww, it was nothing, Tatsu! I'm always willing to help my girls whenever they need it!
Tatsu: I know! And that's what I love about you!
Ash: I love you too!
Tatsu: And now, for one more thing! [kisses Ash on the lips]
And Ash returned it with equal passion! After they released, Tatsu turned to the others.
Tatsu: And I especially want to thank all of you for helping as well!
Lillie: It was our pleasure, Tatsu!
Vulpix (Snowy): VUL!
Goh: We're always willing to help a friend in need!
Cinderace: [agreeing] CINDERACE!
Raye: Got that right!
Rotom Dex: Another case solved!
Ash: [to Acerola] Thanks for your help, Acerola!
Acerola: No problem! Always willing to help a friend!
Mimikins: [agreeing] MIMIKYU!
Babs: By the way, Acerola! I never got to ask you! How come your Mimikyu can float?
Acerola: Oh! That's because Mimikins is a ghost!
Kara: Huh. That's pretty cool!
However, her eyes widened when she heard that!
Kara: Wait! A g-g-ghost?!
Acerola: Yep!
Mimikins: [nods] KYU KYU!
Before Kara could say anything else...
Ash's Gengar and Gengar (Rapooh): [scaring Kara] GENGAR!
Kara: [yelps] [jumps into Tatsu's arms]
Ash's Gengar and Gengar (Rapooh): [laughing] GEN!
Ash: Still think ghosts aren't real, sis?
Pikachu: [laughing] PIKACHU!
And everyone laughed, as Siobhan's spirit floated through the wind.
[Recap Time]
Kara: It's recap time!
Ash: Hey, girls! Who'd'ya meet today?
[as Pokemon cards were placed in a binder]
Babs: Watchog, Purrloin, Shuppet, Unovan and Galarian Yamask, Cofagrigus, Runerigus, Sinistea and Polteageist!
[as the screen shows Unovan and Galarian Yamask]
Ash: Yamask from the Unova Region are pure Ghost type, but in Galar, they become part Ground type!
Goh: And they have different evolutions!
Ash: [as the Unovan Yamask evolves] Yamask in Unova evolve into Cofagrigus!
Goh: [as the Galarian Yamask evolves] While the ones in Galar evolve into Runerigus!
Babs: Hmm... I wonder what a Galarian Cofagrigus would look like?
She then starts to imagine it only to backfire on her!
Babs: [scared] Um, n-never mind! I don't wanna know anymore!
Ash: Oh, Babs!
Goh: [chuckles]
[End]
