Chapter 8: Operation Confrontation

Ash and the gang ran until they reached the exit of the building, they were in.

"Okay everyone we are almost there." Lille called out to the others. As soon as they exited, they were greeted by a large towering crimson red building before them. Lillie looked up at it in disbelief. "My, my home." She said in horror.

"Don't worry Lille." Mallow said walking up next to her.

"Yeah we will turn everything back to the way it was again." Lana said as the blonde-haired girl looked at her two longest friends and nodded. Just then a loud roar came from above them as everyone looked up to see a giant purple bat like creature flying above them.

"Is that?" Lille asked as the creature ascended down towards them revealing to be a Noivern with a rider on its back. The dragon type landed a few feet away from them as the rider got off its back. "Gladion!" Lillie cried out as she ran over to her brother.

"Lillie." Gladion said as his sister embraced him in a hug as he hugged her back. "I'm so glad to see you are safe."

"You too," Lillie said breaking the hug "but what are you doing here." She asked.

"Same as you." Gladion said. "Mom contacted me before she contacted you, said you might need help to free Aether Paradise." Lille's eyes beamed in delight now that the seventh Ultra Guardian was here. She then turned to Ash's friends.

"Everyone, this is my older brother Gladion, Gladion these are all of Ash's friends that I told you were coming." Lille said introducing everyone to her brother.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all." Gladion said bowing in respect.

"Well its certainly nice to meet a fellow older sibling." May said.

"Indeed." Clemont said as Gladion was surprised by this.

"Wait you're both older siblings." He asked as May and Clemont nodded.

"Yup to these two." May said pointing at Max and Bonnie who waved. Gladion then looked towards Ash.

"Are you sure it's okay to bring these two with you?" Gladion asked referring to Max and Bonnie as Ash nodded.

"Yeah, the more the merrier right?" Ash said with a friendly smile on his face as Gladion sighed but smiled in return.

"If you're okay with it…" He said as he turned to face the crimson castle. "Let's go free Aether Paradise." He said as everyone nodded.

"Not so fast." A feminine voice said as everyone then looked to see a man and a women along with a Meowth and Wobbefett along with them.

"You two!" Misty exclaimed as the two chuckled.

"Prepare for trouble." The red haired woman said.

"And make it double." The blue haired man replied.

"To protect the world from devastation."

"To unite all peoples within our nation."

"To announce the evils of truth and love."

"To extend our reach to the stars above.

"Jessie…"

"James…"

"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light."

"Surrender now or prepare to fight."

"Meowth that's right!"

"Wobbafett!"

"Not you two again!" Iris shouted.

"Can't you two take a hint, we always beat you." Dawn added. Jessie however just chuckled at this.

"Not this time." Jessie said as a smirk was on Ash's face.

"We'll I guess we won't have to wait for long then." He said.

"And what do you mean by that twerp?" Meowth asked.

"It means any moment now, she will show up." Mallow said wearing the same smirk on her face.

"Um who are you talking about?" Serena asked in confusion.

"Well you see, there is this Bewear that keeps showing up and takes Team Rocket with her." Sophoclese answered.

"And any time now she will show up, and pick these two up in some sort of physics defying fashion." Lillie said as James waved his finger.

"Not this time." James said.

"You see before we came here to reunite with our Team Rocket brothers and sisters, we set up several hidden holographic projectors in Bewear's cave." Meowth explained. "As we speak that overgrown teddy bear doesn't even know we left and thinks our holographic projections are us."

"So nice try, but we aren't going anywhere anytime soon." Jessie said making a taunting face by sticking out her tongue at them.

"Well it doesn't matter anyway!" Max shouted.

"Yeah because we outnumber you." Bonnie said as the Team Rocket trio laughed.

"Oh really?" James said as he raised his hand in the air and snapped his fingers, as out of nowhere several Team Rocket grunts surrounded the young trainers. 'The boss saw you coming and allowed you to land so we can ambush you." James said. "Alright everyone now bring, out your Pokémon." He commanded as the grunts brought out Arboks, Mightyannas, Crawdaunts, Stunkeys, Liapards and Houndooms, while Jesse and James brought out Mimikyu and Mareanie.

"Alright you guys are you ready?" Ash said as everyone nodded. "Alright then Pikachu I choose you!" He said as his partner leaped off his shoulder.

"I choose you Staryu!" Misty said.

"Go Geodude!" Brock shouted.

"Alright Venonat you too!" Tracy shouted.

"Glacion let's go!" May shouted.

"Piplup spotlight!" Dawn said.

"You too Axew!" Iris said as the green dragon came out of her hair.

"Time for a huge cook off Pansage!" Cilan said.

"Bunnelby I choose you!" Clemont shouted.

"Sylveon lets show them what you can do!" Serena shouted.

"Marowak let's go!" Kiawe shouted.

"Togedmaru you too." Sophoclese said.

"Umbreon you too." Gladion shouted.

"Lets go Snowy!" Lillie shouted.

"Sandy you too." Lana said.

"You as well Shamin!" Mallow said as their Pokémon were now in front of them staring down Team Rocket's own army of Pokémon. Just then all of the ride Pokémon stood next to the group's Pokémon.

"Hey the ride Pokémon want to help out too." Ash said.

"Wow thanks you guys!" Mallow cheered as the ride Pokémon gave out a triumphing roar.

"That won't stop us!" Jessie said. "Attack!" She shouted as the grunts called out their Pokémon to attack Ash and his friend's group.

"Go get them guys!" Ash said as their Pokémon charged at the other Pokémon. Everyone was soon in their own groups calling out attacks, with Gladion, Serena and May with their evolved Eevees, Lana, Mallow and Lillie with Volpix, Eevee and Shamin with their ride Pokémon to back them up, Tracy, Brock and Kiawe with Venonat, Geodude and Marowak, Sophoclese and Clemont and Dawn with Togedemaru and Bunnelby, and Piplup, Iris and Cilan had Axew and Pansage team up while Max and Bonnie stood close to their respected older siblings as the ride Pokémon took on the other grunt's Pokémon, all the while these battles with the Team Rocket grunts were going on around them, Misty and Ash teamed up to face off against Jessie and James.

"Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" Ash called out to his partner.

"Staryu Water Gun, let's go!" Misty called out to hers.

"Mareanie use Sludgebomb!" James called out.

"Mimikyu use Shadow Ball!" Jessie called out as all four moves collided canceling each other out.

"Give it up Team Rocket!" Ash called out.

"Yeah we're breaking through!" Misty said.

"Not this time you aren't!" Jessie said.

"We are making the boss's ultimate dream come true, and there is nothing you can do to stop us." Meowth said as something caught the corner of Misty's eye and she smirked.

"Oh yeah well better look around you." She said as the trio looked around and were shocked. Almost all of the grunt's Pokémon were being knocked out as some had already put there hands up in surrender. Jessie and James began to look at each other with worry until a large shadow fell over them. They looked up to see a familiar pink and black bear Pokémon with her cub towering over them as their jaws dropped in cartoonish fashion to the ground. Bewear let out a huge cry as it embraced the four as Stuffel called out to Mareanie and Mimikyu which the former had listened but Mimikyu still had her eye on Ash's Pikachu. Bewear than came over and picked up the fairy ghost as it than took off in an opposite direction of the fight.

"WE'RE BLASTING OFF WITH A DIFFERENT BLAST!" The Team Rocket trio cried out as they were being carried away.

"I guess that holographic projector stuff didn't work long enough." Ash said.

"Yeah guess you're right." Misty said. "Come on lets go help out the rest." She said as the two went to help round up the rest of the grunts who didn't manage to escape. With the skirmish over and the grunts all rounded up being held by the ride Pokémon everyone recalled their Pokémon back to their Pokéballs.

"Good work everyone." Gladion said complementing everyone.

"Thanks." Clemont replied as the two older brothers nodded.

"Alright now let's get to castle and save Lusamine!" Sophocles cheered.

"Not so fast." A voice called out as everyone looked to see Faba along with several masked people wearing Aether Paradise employee outfits walked up to them. "I'm afraid your battle has just begun."

And that's where we will leave things off and yes, the clash between Team Rainbow Rocket and the Ultra Guardians plus Gladion has begun. Next time we will see two Ultra Gurdians take on Faba, but who? Well you all will have to find out next time. Also may take a break to do another fanfic story, but hopefully it will be short and quick so I can get back into this one. Until then hang tight everyone.

This is Disneyanimefan94, signing out.
